1/11/2021 0 Comments Exodus CommentaryMoses continues in this Season 2 of the saga of Israel, God's covenant people.
The throne of Egypt exchanges hands multiple times through dynasties that come and go. In 1525 BC, the year when Moses is born, Egypt is in the full bloom of its youth, a formidable world superpower to be reckoned with. The Egyptian memory of Joseph, the Hebrew slave who became the saviour of Egypt, is all but a distant legend.

This is the beginning of mankind's story. The word "Genesis" comes from the Greek translation of the first book of the Scriptures, meaning "origins." This book is the first of the five-volume literary unit which is called the Law ("Torah" in Hebrew), written by Moses between the Exodus of Israel from Egypt and his death (1445 BC ~ 1405 BC). God gives the Torah to Israel and all the other peoples who will hear, in order to install in them an attitude of reverential awe for God, and teach them how they may restore their broken fellowship with God. The Torah is foundational to understanding everything in life, and the rest of God's spoken revelation, chiefly, how and why God sets out on His mission to restore His relationship with His estranged children and form an infinitely better relationship.
1/4/2021 0 Comments Job CommentaryThe Book of Job reads like an online chat room filled with headstrong, old men who insult each other in a Shakespearean style. Distilling such lavish poetic conversations into their salient raw emotions that the speakers are trying to convey have been a fun challenge.
This oldest book in the Bible yields, with a little interpretation, a very human and understandable dialogue regarding the theme of suffering, to which every future generation can relate, no matter how many millennia they are removed from the original author. |
