281 | military alliances of kings of juda | 2 Kin 16:7 | Mommapbs | 48018 | ||
King Ahaz of Judah made an alliance with Assyria. He sought rescue from the attacking armies of Aram and Israel. He took silver and gold from the Lord's House and the palace treasury and sent it as a gift to the Assyrian king.(v8) Yet it was not until Ahaz's son Hezekiah's reign that (2 Kings 18:7) Assyria conquered Israel and deported them. What I found interesting in this passage of scripture is what happened spiritually when Ahaz made his alliance with Assyria! See 2 Kings 16:10-18!) I haven't been able to find a second King of Judah so perhaps you should re-post your question! Mommapbs |

282 | On whom do you rely?In whom do you trust | 2 Kin 17:27 | Mommapbs | 75904 | ||
Greetings Ray. When I read this, I see a lack of recognition by the king of Assyria. To him, in a polythestic culture, it would not seem stange that this land could have its own specific god. I wouldn't get to carried away over the lack of capitalization here! Are you suggesting that Americans do likewise? Possibly we all fall into a similar form of idolatry, for anytime we put something or some one in place of God, we are serving that as a god. Blessings, mommapbs PS: Perhaps we had better re-think the phrase "In God we trust" - it is absolute or subjective? |

283 | Please answer this question. | 2 Kin 25:1 | Mommapbs | 28439 | ||
Just input King Nebuchadnezzer into a seach engine and you will find some excellent sites that give historical as well as biblical information about this King who was used by God! (And humbled by Him as well.) We can learn a lot from his life, especially what NOT to do! I thought the site at Daily Bible Study was good. |

285 | What did King Solomon build for God? | 2 Chronicles | Mommapbs | 97958 | ||
Solomon was charged with building the temple for the Lord. I could not find how old Solomon was when he became King, but he reigned 40 years (2 Chron 9:30). I could find no record of how he died - but we know that his reign was one of peace. Although Solomon was a wise man, he made so many foolish choices, choices that bore sad consequences for God's people. Anyone can search the Scriptures for facts, even you - Read 1 Chron 28:9 and then continue on reading about Solomon in 1Kings 11 - did he follow his father's charge to him? mommapbs |

286 | moses tabernalce final destination | 2 Chr 1:3 | Mommapbs | 108690 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the Forum! From this verse the tabernacle was in Gibeon, yet the Ark was in Jerusalem. (see verse 4)Jerusalem would be the permanent home for the Ark in the Temple of Solomon. See also Ps. 76:2 "His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion." A personal observation from this study: believers are not in their final dwelling place either. We are just like that tabernacle, a temporary repository for the Spirit of God. The NEW Jerusalem (Rev 3:12, 21:2)is the eternal dwelling place of believers. Blessings, mommapbs |

287 | Naming our Daughter question | 2 Chr 3:1 | Mommapbs | 131937 | ||
Greetings! How wonderful that you are putting so much thought behind the naming of your daughter! I am truly glad that you seek to honor God in this way. "Moriah, currently owned by the wrong people" ???? God owns it all(!) but not all people "belong" to Him! Moriah is the site upon which Solomon built the temple for the Lord. Today, the believer is the temple of the Holy Spirit - how fitting to name a child Moriah. I kind of like to implications of "Moriah Grace. " Also consider Hannah - 1 Sam 1:20 - she prayed for a child and was blessed with Samuel. Ruth - she chose the Lord and His people over her own and became part of the lineage of Jesus Christ What about Abigail? She was a woman of courage and wisdom as well as beauty and was able to discern God's way. Read about her in 1 Sam 25(Abby Gail also comes to mind) May God bless you in all your "expectations" and plans! mommapbs |

288 | I pray Thee and then He will hear? :)) | 2 Chr 6:40 | Mommapbs | 105573 | ||
Greetings Ray - I don't know if I understand your question here . . . but this is that track I am following . . . We pray for God to see and hear and He responds. Now, contrast these verses with Eph 1:18 where Paul says, "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints," To me, this verse reminds us to choose to see things from God's perspective - that WE are HIS treasure, His inheritance and that gives us great value and immeasurable worth, for we were bought with the precious blood of Christ! He sees and listens to us, His dear children! Blessings, mommapbs |

290 | where did the mosaic laws come from? | 2 Chr 34:14 | Mommapbs | 49635 | ||
The "Mosaic Law" was given by the Lord to Moses. These were not "man made" laws, decrees and ordinances. Adherence to them would result in blessing for the nation of Israel. As declared in 2 Chron 33:8 - "I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your forefathers, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and ordinances given through Moses." This being the case,is it any wonder that they are in such a state today?! Jesus came to fulfill the law's requirements ONCE and for ALL! Yet to date, Israel has refused to accept the gracious salvation of the Lord! Soon, their eyes will be opened and the Lord will rescue His people - praise His name! Do continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:"May those who love you be secure. Psalm 122:6 Blessings, Mommapbs |

291 | need info on Semuramis and Tammuz | Ezra 8:14 | Mommapbs | 123806 | ||
Greetings - I asked about Tammuz a while back - here is what Tim Moran sent to me: Harpers Bible Dictionary says of Tammuz: "Tammuz (tahm×uhz), the Hebrew form of Dumuzi (Sumerian, ’proper son’), a god widely honored from the third millennium b.c. in Mesopotamia. The vast and complex Mesopotamian literature about this god shows three essential aspects of him: as lover and consort of Inanna; as one held in the underworld and mourned because of his absence; as the embodiment of spring vegetation and then of vegetation in general. Many laments are preserved that bewail the ’far one’ who has disappeared, detained in the underworld. The laments reflect the aspect of Tammuz as god of vegetation; his disappearance is connected to the drying up of the steppe in summer. His cult may have been brought to Israel by the Assyrians in the ninth and eighth centuries b.c. Aspects of Tammuz became synthesized with West Semitic gods of similar characteristics. Baal Haddu, for example, went down into the underworld, died, rose, and was mourned during his absence. Some of Dumuzi’s traits also appear in Adonis, a god first attested in Greece in the fifth century b.c. In Ezekiel’s vision of four sins being committed in the Jerusalem Temple, the third is a group of women weeping for Tammuz in the north gate (8:14). The women in Ezekiel are mourning this dying and rising god. The action is an abomination to Ezekiel who believes that God does not die and cannot be mourned. See also Ezekiel, The Book of; Sources of the Pentateuch. R.J.C." While, the Bible Knowledge Commentary says of Ezekiel 8:14: "Ezekiel was taken out to the entrance to the north gate of the temple. This was probably the entrance to the temple’s outer court. Beside this gate Ezekiel saw women . . . mourning for Tammuz. ”Tammuz“ is the Hebrew form of the name of the Sumerian god Dumuzi, the deity of spring vegetation. The apparent death of all vegetation in the Middle East during the hot, dry summer months was explained in mythology as caused by Tammuz’s death and descent into the underworld. During that time his followers would weep, mourning his death. In the spring Tammuz would emerge victoriously from the underworld and bring with him the life-giving rains. The worship of Tammuz also involved fertility rites. Worship of the true Giver of rain had been supplanted by the debased adoration of a pagan deity. The worship of the Creator was replaced by the worship of the cycles of creation He had established. And yet Ezekiel was to see things . . . even more detestable than these (cf. vv. 6, 13)." You can do a web search on these two characters for more information, but this is the reference to Tammuz in the Bible. Blessings, mommapbs |

293 | Role of fasting in a Christian's walk? | Neh 1:4 | Mommapbs | 24888 | ||
Hi Nolan: I have fasted only a couple of times - it was for the specific purpose of focusing upon the Lord in my distress. To me, a fast is a way to concentrate solely upon the Lord's sufficiency; it heightens my awareness of my absolute need of Him. I personally feel that it is a private matter between the believer and the Lord. (Mt.6:16-18) I looked at scriptures on fasting using the search function and most fasting seems to be a response of a humble and repentant heart. In instances where I have chosen to fast, there was a HUGE degree of grief associated with it - mourning for loss, weeping over sin that separates, etc. In one instance, God honored my request, but that was not the most siginificant thing about the experience of the fast. He met me in the pit of despair and raised my head above the level of my tears; showered me with His tender love and mercy. God has been so faithful to "lift me up!" The church I attend called upon the people to fast for a specific request before the Lord. So, people fasted and prayed, and God said, "No." I suspect that many became disillusioned and disappointed. I believe that without Godly wisdom and instruction, a fast should never called for as otherwize it could be seen as a "mantra" or a talisman to "get our own way." (I am not suggesting that this would ever be your interpretation!) I am glad that you asked the question for it will be interesting to read how others approach this subject. |

294 | how to quiet the world while you fast? | Neh 1:4 | Mommapbs | 25326 | ||
I'm sure that there are some excellent texts on fasting for further insight into the mechanism of fasting. The intent of the heart during the fast is what counts, not staying on your knees! A fast brings you into an overwhelming awareness of God; who He is and your relationship with Him. As you go about your daily activities, there will be reminders during your fast to draw close to God. Praise (prays!) Him and do take time to spend in His Word. You write: "I am just seeking clarity in my life." May I encourage you to seek God first? Ask Him to reveal HIS plans for you - only then will everything be clear! Blessings to you during this awesome time with God! |

296 | LESSONS FROM ESTHER AND MODECAIAH | Esth 4:14 | Mommapbs | 110708 | ||
Greetings abbey4sure! I'm not sure what you are after, but the theme of Esther is usually noted as "For such a time as this." Meaning that Esther was God's timely provision to save His people. God has a plan and a purpose for your life too! Also of interest is that God is not mentioned in this Book of the Bible. Blessings, mommapbs |

Forwarded from Emmaus abbey, the book of Esther is pretty short. I recommend readin it. Even shorter is the introduction at the link below which covers the essential points from which question might be drwn or answered. http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/esther/intro.htm Emmaus |

298 | How long did Job suffer? | Job | Mommapbs | 109389 | ||
Greetings! A few days ago I posted this answer to angelgirl who asked the same question. God allowed Job to suffer to accomplish His plan and purpose - that Job might know God through it. "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;" Job 42:5 (See Job 42:1-10.) To me, the length of time is insignificant but the outcome is what is important. When God removes a suffering, it demonstrates His sumpremacy. When God allows a suffering to remain, it demonstrates His sufficiency. There have been periods of suffering in my life that I thought would never end. Sometimes it was physical, other times it was emotional and more recently, it has been spritual. But through each of these experiences, I have grown closer to God and would not trade any of them! The secret to suffering is praise. I know it is a hard thing, but you can rejoice in the midst of suffering - we can ALWAYS praise and give thanks for Jesus! I hope this helps, mommapbs |

299 | how many questions did god ask job | Job | Mommapbs | 110249 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the Forum. The fact the God questioned Job is a sober reminder that we will all have to give and account before Him. Romans 14:12 I don't mean any disrespect, but this is a Bible Study Forum, not a trivial pursuit game service! YOU can read through the book of Job and find the number of questions God asked of Job for yourself. On a more serious note, why does the number of questions interest you? Blessings, mommapbs |

300 | weather | Job 1:19 | Mommapbs | 133755 | ||
Greetings! Gen 1 tells us that God has created everything. Weather is part of HIS creation. God has established all the priciples that are involved in earth's weather - the sun, the position of the earth, air, water, etc. Even though the activities of mankind have influenced our weather, (acid rain, global warming, depletion of the ozone, etc) God has made all of those things too! See 1 Kings 17:14 and Luke 8:22-25 for an answer to your second question! Blessings, mommapbs |
