Showing titles in Old Testament

The Old Testament is not merely a collection of ancient writings; it is the heartbeat of history, the foundation of faith, and the unshakable framework upon which the world’s moral, spiritual, and cultural fabric has been woven. It is a saga of triumphs and tragedies, a testament to divine promises and human frailty. In its pages, we encounter the raw power of creation, the depths of human rebellion, and the unyielding grace of a God who remains faithful despite our failings.

Éxodo es el libro de la liberación divina. En este viaje único de los israelitas, que parten de Egipto y buscan la Tierra Prometida, hay una tipología profunda de la salvación de Dios para todos los pueblos. Su esclavitud en Egipto tipifica el pecado del mundo; Faraón es un tipo de Satanás, que mantiene en esclavitud la creación que Dios ha puesto bajo él, mientras que Moisés, el libertador, es un típico presagio de Cristo.

Young children as well as grown ups can gain much happiness from listening to the beautiful stories which are told in the book of Exodus, despite the fact that these stories took place more than thirty centuries ago. Now I want you to close your eyes and imagine Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Aaron and Moses, imagine that you are sitting by her side along with the other children gathered around. Miriam loved to tell stories, and the children loved to hear them. She would tell them about things she herself had seen and had heard. Miriam kept many of these stories in her heart and mind,...

“For in all the world there is nothing to equal the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel, for all the writings are Holy, but the Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies.” Such is the importance expressed by Rabbi Aqiba in the year 90 A.D and echoes my recent fascination with the Biblical writings that I have largely been ignorant of. For more than 10 years, I have done a deep-dive study of the Song of Songs and what I learned is that there may have been more than the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden recorded in the book of Genesis. At first glance, ...

A Masterclass in Blessing: First Receive, Then Give In intercession, we go up to God: “God help us. God, your kingdom come.” A vertical prayer. But with blessing, we pray out, horizontally. We look to people and bless them. We reach out and tell the hearers how special they are. Most of us have little experience in blessing, of either receiving or giving. The prayer of blessing can feel a bit uncomfortable, a bit stretching. And yet we realize that God promised Abraham, “All peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” We want to be part of that blessing, both of receiving and ...

(Deut. 26: 19). God elevates their names, so they are attached to His great name. Heaven and earth are astonished for the honor and the splendor they have in the Lord, and He sanctifies them to become...

After forty years of wilderness, the time for God's promises to be fulfilled has finally arrived. However, victory had to be claimed through trust and obedience. By God's grace, redemption was made accessible, but it was up to Israel to access it. The Book of Joshua offers spiritual keys for the warfare that comes with leaving what's behind and moving forward into our blood-bought redemption. Whether we are to arm ourselves with testimony or remain obedient during uncertainty, we must ultimately lean on God for the power to overcome.

Passover is a Jewish celebration of the mighty acts of God in liberating the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But as best-selling Christian author Martin Roth shows, it is also much more. For the events that culminated in Passover tell us a momentous story about God’s power, His love for His people and His justice. Yet there is even more. Because Passover is a story with a further deep and resounding message – that God’s mighty act in redeeming the Israelites foreshadows another, even mightier, act, when He will come to Earth in the form of a baby. And this time He will ...
