KNOWING YOUR BIBLE
September 25, 2022: Dear Friends, Welcome to this blog that focuses on learning and knowing the Bible. Over the past few weeks, the focus of this blog has been learning about important people written in the Bible. Where in the Bible, the writings about the particular person or persons written about can be located, allows learning about the person who can be searched for and studied. There was no blog written last week due to an overloaded schedule. Our study about important people in the Bible will be continued in this week’s study.
This series on learning about important people written about in the Bible began on August 7th and continued through September 10th. Return to these blogs by going to the website above left to review and contemplate on several key important people that have been discussed in this series, Please note that the blogs written in this series have correlated with the Bible books, Genesis through Ecclesiastes of the Old Testament. Remember as studying is progressing, emphasis has included the listing of the organization of the books of the Old Testament, from the Law Books, Genesis through Deuteronomy: the History Books, Joshua through Esther: and the Wisdom Books, Job through Ecclesiastes. In this blog, the discussion will be on the Prophet books, from Isaiah through Malachi..
When contemplating on the prophets and the books they wrote or were written about, remember to take into account that most of the prophet’s writings prophesized the future of what was going to happen or had already happened in Isarel. The prophet books were written in the 700′s BCE to the 400′s BCE. Keep in mind that the prophet whose name is the name of the prophet book is important in the overall study of the Bible.
To become familiar with each of the prophets, spend some time reading and studying the prophet books in the next few weeks. As an example, reading any of the following prophet books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Micah, and Jonah, will bring perspective and understanding about the people, times and happenings written about in the Old Testament.
Upon completion of this week’s study, some of the important people written about in the Old Testament have been discussed in this series. Just as a reminder, there are several more important people written about in the Old Testament, that have not been included in this series because of time and space limitations.
In the next few weeks, our study will be on important people in the New Testament. Jesus Christ is the most important person written about in the Bible and in the New Testament. A series on important events that were written about in the Old and New Testaments will begin after completion of our study of important people in the New Testament.
