Celebration 2 Flashcards

Question

What is the proportion of the blessing verses to the cursing verses supposed to show?

Answer 1

The length that God will go to bring His people back **relentless pursuer** He keeps coming

Answer 2

28:68 Dispersion (Exile) - The culmination and climax: Final and ultimate curse of the law 1) Go back to Egypt 2) Slavery, but worse because no one will buy you (more desperate than before) Question: is all hope loss?

Answer 3

1446 - Moses: Married, covenant, relationship, nation. 586 - Exile: Fulfill Deu 28: Divorced, No Covenant relationship, Nation? (status questionable) 33 - Jesus? (not recognize as Messiah): Deu 30? Marriage refused, No covenant relationship, nation? 20XX - Jesus! (Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD): Deu 30! Re-Married, New Covenant Relationship, Nation!

Answer 4

Deuteronomy 30: Return (repent) and there will be restoration God will circumcise their hearts to life - Old Covenant: external circumcision - New Covenant: internal circumcision (want do something inside out)

Answer 5

The Land: By the end of this Gen 12:1-2 will both be fulfilled (See this through repetition--how do Bible study): Repetition: Getting the Land that was promised

Answer 6

- The Deuteronomy - Joshua as the first book of the prophets (The Book of the Law) and Psalms as the first book of the writings (Delight in the law) both point back to the law

Answer 7

Jericho: Has a spring of water that makes it livable

Answer 8

It is Rahab's story because her name is used: Her faithful response - Rahab is better at rescuing the spies than they are at being spies - Spies only tell Joshua what Rahab tells them - She is a **special gift from God** to the Israelites - Her loyalty is to the King of Israel not of Jericho - 3 conditions: rope, gather family, don't tell anyone: She follows ALL

Answer 9

Would have been bigger back then and **at this time of year** would've been flooded - psychological warfare against Canaanites because they would've seen God defeat Baal the god of the raindrop who brings life to everything - Baal also one who rides on the clouds (Psalm 68 is a snarky comment to Canaanites) - Goal: to get to know God in the process--know that the living God is among you

Answer 10

They are not feeling too confident: poor time to reach the Jordan, poor time/place to observe the covenant (enemy territory, no protection from Jordan) We see that God will be with Joshua as He was with Moses

Answer 11

It is the faithful observance of the covenant - contrasts to 40yrs generation's unfaithfulness - Reminds of Moses' inability to even lead his family without God

Answer 12

J: for us or our enemies A: Neither: The Israelites need to get on board with God's plan - Will be with Joshua as was with Moses - **God shows up appropriate to the situations**: Not in burning bush but in military garb because God will work through the military rather than working exclusively through miracles

Answer 13

- Brilliant strategy: the musicians will lead (obviously silly so God will obviously be the one at work) - Directions: not a place for living but to be a first fruit: to show that they know God will give them the rest of the land (taking anything will lead to disaster)

Answer 14

36/3,000 died and the people strength melted like water - the psychology of the Canaanites has turned on the Israelites - **Corporate Solidarity**: Achan stole but God was angry with all Israelites

Answer 15

There would have been 400 ft of elevation from Jericho but once your up there you can take Jerusalem

Answer 16

Get up and do something about this sin. Achan, his family, and his stuff get taken to the Valley of Achor "trouble" and die under a pile of rocks?

Answer 17

Rahab and Achan To show that faith matters more than advantage. R: Female - Canaanite - Prostitute - Supposed future: Die under rocks - Much faith - relation to Messiah: All reality found A: Male - Judahite - Upstanding - Supposed future: live in land - faith: none - Relation to Messiah: all potential lost

Answer 18

You can keep the captured goods. (If only Achan had waited/)

Answer 19

The Israelites go to Shechem (John 4: Sichar, Woman at the Well) where Abram first was and pronounce the blessings and curses from Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ebal Reminds: Success is a matter of faith and obedience not cleverness or military might

Answer 20

Joshua wins the major victory then sends the individual tribes in to claim their own lands God will bore you do death to show that He keeps his promises (The people would have been much more interested in all the details)

Answer 21

Caleb gets Hebron: an important place where Abraham/Sarah/Isaac/Rebeka buried and is cooler. It is a bittersweet. + 85yr beats biggest Anakites - Could have been there at 45 Story of Caleb's daughter to show the fulfillment of the Num 14:24 promise to Caleb and his **descendants**

Answer 22

Breaking the covenant. Problem: 14, 19-20, 23 Joshua commands them to serve God and abandon Idols 18, 21, 24 The Israelites say they will but do not follow through on what they said Point: This is how we get from Joshua and Victory to Judges and Defeat

Answer 23

The land is taken and the nation is constituted, what about the leader? The Bones of Joseph are buried (picture of the Leader) and Eleazar son of Aaron dies We need a leader with skin on 'im. Will we get that in Judges? A *reminder* that we do not have a leader

Answer 24

1-3 Scary **preview** of the book: X look good, stay this way? Yes. 3-16 Downward **spiral**of the Judges 17-21 Two **perfect** stories: do what they are supposed to do Special note: Judges neither *chronologically* consecutive nor *geographically* comprehensive - Another reason to *not* treat this as struct history but carefully crafted literary work with messages

Answer 25

(1:1-18) Judah, Caleb, and Acsah/Othniel take the land (1:19-) everyone stumbles: and they do not conquer - is it their fault? (2:1-5) God says: you have disobeyed me- they had the ability and chose to not obey

Answer 26

Sin, oppression, distress, deliverance that gets worse each time: a downward spiral.

Answer 27

He doesn't see her as a trophy but as valuable-he does not want just anyone marrying her.

Answer 28

1) **Progress** of stories: what **changes** take place 2) **Affective** response: how make you **feel** 3) How does the role of **women** relate to the main theme?

Answer 29

The first deliverer. Mr. Short 'n Sweet - last time we see an Israelite man marry an Israelite woman and have a family P) None F) Ok W) Treated well

Answer 30

The lone deliverer or the left-handed lone ranger Fat man, blade to stomach, bad smell, guards think relieve himself, B/C gives Ehud plenty of time to get away P) Messier F) Uncomfortable W) NA

Answer 31

Barak did not want to obey unless Deborah came with Jael gave milk make king go fast asleep P) More serious, gory F) Sick W) Jael's life has been ruined- tent ruined, PTSD, army want revenge for embarrassment * ruined because Barak did not take up his role

Answer 32

Pay attention because this tells us the theological interpretation

Answer 33

- The milk in a bowl fit for a king made Sisera feel safe - Sisera "collapsed" before Jael shows a war between Sisera and Jael (X Barak) - Sisera's mom did not look for his coming because he was likely raping Israelite girls but God flips this and Jael has her way with Sisera

Answer 34

The *Hesitant* Deliverer Says: the LORD (not Baal) is the God of Israel and The LORD (not Gideon) is the King of Israel BUT: Makes an idol to worship, Acts like a king (harem, son Abimelech)

Answer 35

Acts out that Baal is the God of Israel Acts out that He is the King of Israel

Answer 36

The *Impulsive* Deliverer Vow: may have thought chicken or goat come out but flirting with paganism and child sacrifice (NOT what God wanted but God does not interfere with free will) P) Leaders do not know God F) Awful W) Killed by those who should have protected them

Answer 37

Self-centered deliverer - Miraculous birth: high expectations - Nazarite: no grapes because will be in control at all times, no hair cut because not ashamed of our dedication, no dead things because sin and death are enemies - His eyes: come up over and over - Zoar --> Timna: hard hike--he intentionally went to the Philistines - Did not value women: objects to use, not value wife over parents - Gaza: Saw prostitute had sex (written like a statement) - Gates: 40 miles, 3,300 ft u: feat so incredible could not have done by own strength - Used spirit of God for selfish end (like we do) - Eyes out: not pray to glorify God but to have revenge for his eyes. (did not lead to repentance)

Answer 38

1) Corruption in worship 2) Corruption in morals

Answer 39

There was no king on Israel but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. It shows up in last section four times, but only first and last does it include right in own eyes clauses Emphasis: There is a cause that resulted in Judges: there is no king

Answer 40

- Characters: Micah, Levite from Bethlehem, Tribe of Dan - Dropped right in the middle of theft story, M confess b/c not want curse, Mom make idol for him, more household Gods and, M makes his son priest - Result: total exacerbation and the well known judges phase - M believed God would prosper him after his blatant disregard: Either doesn't know Torah or disregards it - Danites leave what God gave them and decide themselves to get other land and pick up this priest - M is bothered by gods being taken (head scratcher)

Answer 41

- Wickedness of Benjamin: (why father welcome Levite) sounds like Sodom and Gomorrah but this is to be God's people -- detail because wants you to picture this: man shoves woman out, doesn't get up early and steps over woman's outstretched hands - Destruction of Benjamin: Israel comes against Gibeonites and Benjamin defends (worse sin in Romans: condoning) - Provision for Benjamin: -- Jabesh-Gilead (400 orphans), Shiloh girls (200) END: No King, right own eyes

Answer 42

1) Progress: downward spiral: male leadership evaporates 2) Affect: Sick and Empty (the leader box of the promise checklist is clearly empty) 3) Women: especially suffer the effects of sin when the culture decays. Nation's relationship with God is accurately measured by the treatment of women.

Answer 43

Judges: corruption in the nation Ruth: personal love story? Connection: Ruth 1:1 In the days when the judges ruled

Answer 44

Naomi: gets emptied (comes back as Marra) Famine in Bethlehem (house of bread) Ruth: shows loyalty. She willingly goes to Israel knowing how Israelite men are because she wants Naomi's God-- this is Rahab-like faith

Answer 45

- Boaz blesses his men and his men bless him: Boaz cares about his employees and vice versa - Shows kindness to Ruth addressing her with term of protection and tells her to stay and have protection - She comes away from him **full** - Ruth wonders why Boaz shows favor, because his mother was Rahab

Answer 46

- Naomi tells her he is their kinsmen redeemer - Ruth proposes to Boaz it is not a seduction because everyone knows Ruth's virtue - Boaz does not take Ruth but does everything legally, without coercion, leaving the matter in God's hands

Answer 47

- Naomi is filled because she has a son (she is more desperate than Ruth) - The Genealogy of David

Answer 48

1) Progress: we are going up 2) Affect: Healthy and Full 3) Women: flourish and help others flourish when men play their roles well

Answer 49

First verse: "when the Judges rules" Middle verse: "Kinsman Redeemer" Last verse (and word): "David" - the story hinges on Kinsmen redeemer

Answer 50

3- kinsmen redeemer 1) Boaz: personal 2) David: National 3) Jesus: International

Answer 51

Ruth/close: God's image, Rational, Relational, Physical/sexual, Rulers Judges/Far: Sub-human, irrational, anti-relational, death & abuse, abusive rulers

Answer 52

Boaz/close to God: Generosity & giving, Using power to love, protect Sampson/far: Greed & getting, using power to abuse, oppress

Answer 53

1. Draws the reader into the story allowing them to **"see"** and **"feel"** truth 2. It **Illustrates** (versus **teaches**) propositional truths 3. e.g. "Do not murder" "Do not commit adultery" (we see and feel effects and understand reason for command0 4. If the purpose of the stories is to **illustrate** then how should we **interpret** (find meaning) them?

Answer 54

A **proposition** captions the **story's** picture ie Gen 3:15 and Cain&Abel Gen 12 and Sarach in Egypt Story makes sense because proposition explains what it really is about

Answer 55

Are we left to our own to figure out meaning? Does each story have its own moral? NO - All Biblical narratives are **well-written** and very **selective** literary pieces which point to a **singular theme** - The theme or **propositional truth** is always stated within the book and usually **early** in the book

Answer 56

The words of Hannah: in the poem (find real theological meaning) God prospers the faithful and opposes the unfaithful (Both Saul and David, one isn't the villain while the other is the hero)

Answer 57

21: Failure of Saul: harms Gibeonites - David and his Mighty Men - Story about weak David 22-23: David's poem about hope for a future king 23: David and his Mighty Men, Story about weak David 24: Failure of David: harms Israelites * David is not the seed, he is not the hero

Answer 58

Davidic Covenant 2 Samuel 7:11-16

Answer 59

- God blesses David to unite the country and establish capital at Jerusalem - David builds palace seeks to honor God - Seeks to build God a house (temple)

Answer 60

7:11 - God make David a house **David will have a Dynasty** 7:12 - Set up seed **1) The promise concerns one of David's physical descendants** God will build a house for David **2) This son will build a Temple** I will establish his throne forever **3) This son will never lose the throne**

Answer 61

Solomon: 3.0 - physical descendant, built temple, reigned on throne, NOT forever Zerubbabel: 2.0 - physical descendant, built temple, NOT reign on throne Jesus: 4.0 - physical descendant, build temple?, reigned on throne, FOREVER

Answer 62

2 Samuel 7 builds on top of Gen 49 David, Solomon, and sorta Zerubbabel are images of the seed to come

Answer 63

- Speaks *also* to **emotive** side of life, the whole person - **Captures** the heart & mind with the **turn of a phrase** or thought in way prose cannot - Way to say more than can say **directly or prosaically** (SOS) - Summary: powerful way to express profound truth

Answer 64

- Lines syllables rarely follow **consistent rhythm** - Rarely rhyme by **sound** but always by **meaning** - *Tends* to be **short** (using direct objects, definite article six times less than prose) - **Continuum** from prose to poetic: distinction not absolute (when English translators felt like it was poetry they formatted differently)

Answer 65

Parallelism and Acrostic

Answer 66

- Synonymous: first line is restated in second (aids understanding) - Antithetic: First line contrasted in second - Constructive: first line developed in the second (progression: walk, stand, sit) - Chiastic: thought order is inverted (AB, BA - doesn't matter)

Answer 67

- Each line of poetry begins with next letter of alphabet: Sets of 22 verses - Meaning: totality "as we have exhausted the alphabet we have exhausted the subject" - Examples: Psa 119, Prov 31, Lamentations 1-3 (22, 22, 66, 22, 22) Middle: steadfast love of LORD: Hope in midst of despair

Answer 68

- Purpose: visual and affective - Almost always not literal - NOT less true or accurate Gen 3:15 Exo 14-15, Judges 4-5, Joshua 10 (sun stands still)

Answer 69

Messiah: King-Deliverer - Jesus **said** on cross: look in gospels - Jesus **thinking** on cross: look in Psalms

Answer 70

The most directly Messianic of all the Psalms David narrates a conversation between Father and Messiah 1-3: LORD says, King 4-6: LORD swears, Priest Important: quoted extensively by NT 1) Jesus: right before crucified 2) Peter: at Pentecost 3) Hebrews: says goodbye to law

Answer 71

Triumphal Entry (Sun), Heated debate- hold court, tested Jesus (Mon, Tue) Discussion of Psalm 110, Judas arranges to betray Jesus, Wed, Passover (Thur), Cross (Fri) Discussion: Respect usually goes to ancestors but David respects his son (Lord- Master) so son must be greater than David, could he be God?

Answer 72

Speaking in tongues is evidence of OT theology that God has exalted Jesus to be Lord (People got it and asked how to be saved)

Answer 73

Melchi-*zedek* king of righteousness, King of Salem, peace - Could not be a priest in Moses' system - God saw the priesthood as the basis with the law built off of it - New priest means a new law (NT)

Answer 74

2000 BC Melchizedek was King and Priest 1446 BC Moses separated King and Priest (too much power for a person) 33 AD Jesus is King and Priest again (one who will rule rightly)

Answer 75

22) My God, My God, insults, rescue, physical description of cross/pierced hands, feet, divide garments, cast lots 69) Jesus' brothers, John about temple, Jesus' feeling on cross, gall& vinegar, Jesus' own sin?? Was David thinking about Jesus or himself? Absolom's Revolt: King- David, Trusted Friend (was)- Ahithophil, the Helper - Hushai (met Mount of Olives) 1000 yrs later King- Jesus, Trusted Friend- Judas

Answer 76

- God planned David's life to have **many parallels** to the life of Messiah - Divine design (maybe not David's) refer to BOTH persons at the same time - **A**uthor (Holy Spirit) knows - **a**author (David) may not know fullness - So is reading David's deepest thoughts like reading Jesus thoughts?
