42 | Same Korah n Ps 45 AND Num 16 | Num 16:1 | Rolff | 242397 | ||
Fascinating, part of the story I learned as a boy. Wrote part of the Bible, rebelled and the earth swallowed him. So choir directors have been trouble makers since at least 1000 bce. :) Thank you for your help. | ||||||
43 | what time of year is Abib | Deut 16:1 | Rolff | 242697 | ||
In Deuteronomy 16:1, it talks about the month of Abib, after a 10 minute Google search I could not find a month of this name, either in ancient or modern Jewish calendars. Could you enlighten me? | ||||||
44 | Harmony between two thoughts. Joshua 7 | Josh 7:1 | Rolff | 211853 | ||
You are thinking as a western civilization person. I can't for the life of me understand why because the king died the country ran and lost the battle. After all it wasn't me and sorry it was him not me, but why loose the battle over one man no matter what his title. This story is in the history books of the Bible. In the Old Testament and to a great degree today in Asia it is group mentality. When one dies, all is lost. The group pays for the sin of the individual. Your question assumes they were inocent, there is nothing either way to assume Achan's doomed relatives were guilty or inocent. If my wife brings something large like a brick of gold and a closet full of clothes into the house, I and my children would know. These relatives proably knew about the sin and did nothing to expose the sin after all they were rich while the gold was under the floor. We as individuals are not to punish the children for the parents sin. It is a different perspective. Something to chew on while I run to church this fine California morning. |

45 | SECOND FABLE IN THE BIBLE | Judg 9:7 | Rolff | 206899 | ||
In Judges 9:7-16 Jotham tells a fable to Abimelech. Are there any other fables or myths like Jotham's in Scripture? Seems like I heard there were two but I can't come up with any others. |

46 | Consititues Faith as Opposed to David? | 1 Sam 27:1 | Rolff | 208214 | ||
Bowler, I am exhausted. It has been a long weekend of working for the Kingdom. Let me pose a question. In Acts 4:19 Peter and John disagree with the rulers and disobey the rulers direct command. Peter was let out of jail in Acts 12, when it was clear he was to be beheaed the next morning. I'm sure if I wasn't so tired I could think of many other examples of people that followed God's law over man's law. Men will die, God's law will last forever. There are times we need to lose our heads for the Kingdom. There are times a wife should say, this far and no farther to her husband, when he expects her to be a swinger or other true perversion. I have wondered about Vashti for years. This was a modest woman who didn't want to do a strip tease in front of a bunch of drunk men. She paid a heavy price for disobeing her husband the King. Not sure I answered you question, but I hope I brought more ideas to your plate as you ruminate on this question. |

47 | Is king solomon a black man | 1 Kin 2:1 | Rolff | 209954 | ||
You may be mixing up Solomon with the Queen of Sheba who came to visit King Solomon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheba, “[Sheba] is disputed between southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa; the kingdom may have been situated in either present-day Ethiopia or present-day Yemen, or both.” If in Africa the Queen of Sheba would most likely have been chocolate brown to black. We don't know what color any of the Kings of Israel/Judah were, but the Jews were 400 years removed from a 430 year stay in Egypt, which is in Africa. It is highly improbable that Solomon (950 BC) was dark but not impossible as Jewish people after the Diaspora (70 AD) are albino to black. |

49 | Job's friends philosophies | Job | Rolff | 242785 | ||
I am fascinated by Job. Have found many interesting things about the book but can't find the following. What are the philosophies of his four friends? No one works in a vacuum, wondered what they were thinking when they spouted off to Job? | ||||||

51 | Why is Jeremiah as the weeping prophet | Jer 18:6 | Rolff | 209284 | ||
Jeremiah's message to Judah was to repent. If they didn’t' repent they would be punished. The next book in our Canon is Lamentations. This book was also written by Jeremiah after the fall if Judah. I believe Jeremiah was much like several preachers today. They see the corruption, speak the right words but no few are listening. The nation is determined to destroy itself in greed and corruption. JER 6:10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, That they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed, And they cannot listen. Behold, the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them; They have no delight in it. JER 6:17 "And I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.' JER 7:26 "Yet they did not listen to Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did evil more than their fathers. JER 7:27 ¶ "And you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you. This is four verses in two chapters; there are 46 of verses like this in 52 chapters. Conclusion: Everyone wants to be appreciated, Jeremiah was not appreciated and even spent a time in the septic tank where he was slated to die--but he was rescued. He could "see" the downfall of his nation and watched his beloved nation fall but no one would listen to his message. Both and more were reasons he was called the weeping prophet. |

52 | Ezekiel's Vision and Type of Angels? | Ezek 1:6 | Rolff | 207321 | ||
Question: What kind of angels are those, are they the same as the angels in Revelation and what are they called? First, angel means messenger. In the Apocalypse (Revelation) John calls the seven pastors of the seven churches angels (1:20.) Messengers can be men or supernatural beings, but they are all messengers. Second, while there is nothing wrong with your question. It reminds me of the President visiting a hotel and the news media interviewing the maids instead of the President. Our focus should be on Jesus not his messengers. Colossians 2:18 passes along this concept. “Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,” Third, a close read of Scripture gives many different forms of Spirit beings, for lack of a better word. Both Ephesians and Colossians give four separate and distinct spiritual groupings. EPH 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. COL 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created by Him and for Him. Paul in Romans 8:38 mentions angels and principalities and possibly powers as being separate spiritual groupings. “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,” We know there are angels, archangels, seraphs, cherubs as four groupings of spirit beings. Fourth, A being that has a wingspan two times it’s height is probably a Cherub. A. Seraphs have six wings. Isaiah 6:2 “Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.” B. Cherubs have wings. Exodus 25:20 “And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.” C. Cherubs can fly. Psalm 18:10, “And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. “ D. Ezekiel 1 and 10 are a view of the throne room of YHWH. (10:4) and the beings are probably Cherubs (Cherubim is a Hebrew plural and Cherubims is an English plural, plural.) E. Revelation 4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come." The six winged spirit beings match Seraphs as we understand the question. F. There is much we don’t understand about spirit beings and I am far more interested in the One Speaking in Ezekiel 1:26-28 and between the lamp-stands in Revelation 1. Daniel 7, also has about the same view of what I see as my Savior. |

53 | Nebuchadnezzar's 7 period absence | Dan 4:32 | Rolff | 207017 | ||
Interesting question. I am not aware of anywhere it states in scripture who replaced Nebuchadnezzar during this time of insanity. Adam Clark's commentary states the following: Verse 26. "No new king was set up; Evil-merodach his son was regent during his father's insanity." |

54 | what is God telling us in the book of J? | Nah 1:1 | Rolff | 207233 | ||
The Book of Jonah is trying to tell us several things. First, a prophet doesn’t have to be anything but willing to do God’s will. Jonah was a melancholy personality that didn’t want the Assyrians [Iraq] to be saved. Jonah was looking forward to the destruction of Assyrians; this is true in Jonah’s first and last behaviors. God moved circumstances to get his servant to obey God’s will. God shows God’s “own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Or in the case of the Assyrians, God saved them out of His goodness. While God changed his mind because of the revival with Jonah as the unwilling evangelist, Nahum is the newspaper 150 years later showing the utter destruction of Nineveh. |
||||||
55 | What happend to Jonah? | Nah 1:1 | Rolff | 207240 | ||
Your question is unknown but I can answer as a man with the same mindset. Melancholy personalities tend to be perfectionists and thinkers; they are party poopers that can always see the worst in mankind and the most negative future. When things don’t go the way they want, they ask for death—“because things are going to get worse anyway.” Elijah was most likely a melancholy personality. God did not kill Elijah as he asked in 1 Kings 19:4, but used him for many years as his servant before taking him up in a chariot only to be seen hundreds of years later as part of the Transfiguration in Matthew 17:3. [Jonah and Elijah probably knew each other and worked together. See 2 Kings 10:17 and 2 Kings 14:25, word of mouth says the servant in 1 Kings 18:43 was Jonah.] The book of Jonah is not a finished book. There are no nice ending to Jonah. Chapter four is half-way through a narrative about a gourd—God interrupts—and the book is over with us wanting more. God does not choose to give an ending to this book. I personally believe God doesn’t answer these stupid depressed prayers. He did not give Elijah his request in 1 Kings 19. He has never given me my request and I doubt He gave Jonah his request of death. Jonah had to learn to live with God’s goodness and hopefully, sitting there on the side of the cliff listening to happy people in Nineveh, with a withered gourd, he learned that God is good. God is good all the time. |

56 | Information needed. | Matt 1:17 | Rolff | 207221 | ||
I wondered if this info would add to the mix. The 14x14x14 generations in Matthew are a mnemonic to help generations of people without paper, pen or computer--that needed to know their genealogy. Have you looked at 1 Chronicles 1-9 for a fuller list of begat’s? Abraham is usually dated around 1950 BCE. ISBE gives a date post 2000 BC. This would be 1900 more or less years between Abram and Jesus. |

58 | Who is the strong man? | Mark 3:27 | Rolff | 208540 | ||
This is one of Jesus' parables. He is trying to make the point that one does not go into the house of a strong man, there is no proper name for this person. It is a generic strong person. The context in Mark 3:23-29 the strong man's house is the Devil's kingdom, possibly a possessed man. The strong man would be the Devil or his minions. No one can invade that house except one who is stronger, Jesus Christ/God. |

59 | Blessings A Hundred Fold | Mark 10:28 | Rolff | 212324 | ||
Mark 10:28-31 NASB Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he shall receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first, will be last; and the last, first." Aloha: I am missing the question, to me this passage makes complete sense with the entirety of Jesus’ statement. Peter makes the statement, “Behold, we have left all to follow [You].” Joshua (the name of Messiah) states what you give up on earth for the good tidings (euaggelion or gospel) will get back 100 times more with eternal life. But many who are rich here on earth will be poor in heaven and the poor on earth will be rich in heaven (my loose translation.) Aloha, in this season we celebrate the Incarnation. |

60 | Zechariah in OT same as in Luke 1:5 | Luke | Rolff | 228811 | ||
I believe your information is correct, the two Zechariahs lived at least 450 years apart. How many Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and Alex do you know? Probably more than one. There are at least four distinct Marys in the New Testament. Zechariah means "YHWH remembers." Both had the same job of temple priest. Hope this answers your question as you continue to study your Bible. | ||||||
