...Bible Dictionary Project Template Name: Brittani Fink Student ID: L25540669 Course: Bibl 104 Date: September 22, 2014 Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Ruth is one of the most well known women of the Bible. She began her life in Moab, and eventually she moved to Israel. Ruth lived approximately 1000 B.C. No information is known about Ruth’s birth. Ruth is best known as one of the most godly women in the Bible. God reinforced her decision to leave her own country and she is one of the most prominent women in Jesus’ geneology. Ruth was known best for her loyalty, love, obedience and diligence. Ruth was a wife to Boaz and mother to Obed. Ruth put her trust in God and left her family and a land she knew to marry her first husband. After her husband died instead of fleaing back to her homeland she satyed with her mother-in-law then traveled together to Judah. Tursting in God again, Ruth found herself to fend for herself and to begin work in the fields, which is how she met Boaz. By being faithful and trusting God she was blessed with a son and grandson. Through Ruth’s life we can see that she is an example that God will reward our faithfulness. After she made the sacrifice to leave her family then lost her husband she remained faithful and trusted in God and God rewarded her. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28). The book of Matthew, although not physically...

...Bible Dictionary Project Name: Student ID Course:BIBL 104 Date: 06/20/2016 Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Job The book of Job is an interesting book with poetic flare. The book is also considered to be wisdom literature(Hindson & Towns, 2013). The book has no author. It is also uncertain when the book was written but theologians believe the writer preceded Moses (Hindson & Towns, 2013). Some feel the writer could have been Job, Elihu, or a contemporary of Job. The key themes in the book of Job are: death, loyalty to God, pain and suffering, questioning and doubting God, mans status before God, and friendship(Shmoop Editorial Team). The main purpose of the book of Job is to let us know that the Devil cannot harm us unless God allows it. The book of Job shows us to trust God through all situations. The main chracters in the book of Job are Job, his three friends (Eliphaz, Bilidad, and Zophar), Elihu, God, and Satan. The story in the book starts out with Job living a life of prosperity and blessings. He is upright and blamless. He has a wife and wonderful children and all is well for him. Life could not get better. He is so put together that God brags to the heavenly assembly about him. This causes Satan to challenge God about Job’s worthiness. Satan throws God a challenge that if he is allowed to destroy Job’s children and all his possesions that Job will forget all about God. God, trusting Job, gives Satan the go ahead. Satan attacks Job’s...

...BIBLE DICTIONARY PROJECT I CHARLIE MITCHELL Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project RUTH Book of Ruth is a romantic drama and love story on how God use people to carry out his divine agenda. Even non-believers carries God message, as depicted with Ruth, a Moabite woman (Gentile). “Historically, Ruth is the lynchpin of the covenant. Theologically, the story of Ruth and Boaz illustrates the biblical concept of redemption” (Ed Hindson and Elmer Towns, Illustrated Bible Survey: An Introduction, 2013, page 111). While the authorship of the Book of Ruth is anonymous, some experts’ thinks possibly it was written by Nathan. The love story centers during the era of 1020 to 1000 BC, and signifies a “Ray of Hope” for the Israelites. If one were to view the genealogy of The Tribes of Israel, you will note The Moabites descended from Lot, the nephew of Abram (later changed to Abraham). Down through Ruth being the Great-Grandmother of King David, and in line with the Davidic and messianic lineage. Four elements of the Moabites one must know to grasp the full scope of God’s intentions. They are the descendants of Lot, and not friendly with Israel. Second, property inheritance were given first right to next of kin. Third, the Levirate marriages were the right of next of kin of a deceased man (Elimelech) to marry his widow. Fourth, a Moabite male or his descendants up to the tenth generation, could not hold public assembly in Israel. The beauty of this story is, Ruth’s devotion...

...Bible Dictionary Project Template Name: Stephanie Sarver Student ID: L27532575 Course: BIBL 104-D28 Date: 4/25/16 Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Genesis: The first of the Bible gives the overall setting and theme for God’s plan and teachings. It has two sections with the first being about creating, sin, punishment, and redemption; the second being about God’s chosen family. The author of Genesis is unknown though it is part of the Pentateuch which is referred to as the books of Moses. The date it was written is also unknown though it can be suggested the authorship was around the time of moses, that is 1440 and 1400 B.C. The first 11 chapters deal with the universal setting for Israel’s story with showing that God is the one and only creator of the whole universe. Then it shifts from the creation of everything, to the creation and plan for the first and chosen family. Sin enters the world through a serpant and man falls from God’s grace which ultimately brings hardships and punishments to all the nations. God wipes the world clean except for one family, Noah, and promises to protect them. They multiply and populate the earth only to let human desire and want bring them divine punishment at the tower of Babel. He then calls on Abraham to leave and start a new beginning with a plan to bless and redeem humanity. Jacob and Isaac, lead a new generation to carry out God’s plan. Esau’s sons Joseph was sold into slavery only to have God bring him to power in...

...Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Sarah Sarah was born Sarai in the city of Ur and lived from about 1986 BC to 1859 BC (127 years). She was faithful and often described as a very beautiful wife of Abraham, as well as his half-sister—both sharing the same father, Terah. God blessed Sarai and her husband, who was then named Abram, declaring that Abram would be the “father of all nations”. Through this covenant is when Sarai became Sarah and Abram became Abraham. Abraham was to birth a nation, meaning that he was to bore a son. But Sarah was barren…as well as impatient and even doubtful of God’s promise. How could she birth a child at her old age? Determined to give her husband the fated child that God promised, she allowed Abraham to impregnate their slave, Hagar. This plan backfired, for Sarah became extremely jealous of Hagar and the two women quickly became adversaries. Sarah later banished Hagar and her son by Abraham, Ishmael, from their household. At age 90, Sarah finally bore Abraham’s son according to God’s will, a boy named Isaac. God did not forget His promise to Abraham and He especially did not forget Sarah, even when she decided to take matters into her own hands. Sarah’s story perfectly reminds us that what God has promised for you, it is especially for you! Even despite her doubt and the pain and conflict she caused by taking advantage of Hagar, God still came through with His promise for her, making her the “mother of all nations.” Ruth The book of Ruth...

...D.Min. Project Prospectus Sharon L. Smith I. Title: Bridging the Gap: A Pilot Project Aimed at Mutually Equipping Church and Business Leaders for Kingdom Impact II. The Context: Followers of Jesus Christ who possess a divine calling, talents, and gifts to work and serve God through specific voluntary or paid vocations in the workplace face daily opportunities to impact the Kingdom of God. When believers walk by faith and obedience in the revelation that God’s divine presence and purpose is with them daily in their work lives, God empowers them to lead change that can transform lives, businesses, and even nations. Believers clearly see this truth in the lives of Abraham, Joseph, Daniel, and Nehemiah. The Great Commission (Matt. 28) commands believers to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person. This directive includes Holy Spirit-empowered witness in the marketplace with signs, wonders, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation. As His priests (1 Pet. 2:5; Rom. 12:1-2), God calls believers ordained for the twenty-first century workplace to worship and serve Him through their actions, words, and works. God’s Word calls for excellence in whatever a person does (Col. 3:17). Fruitfulness follows when believers root biblical ethics in excellence, and practice it in relationships and business decisions. Anthropologists and missiologists are observing major global shifts causing leaders to revise their understanding of the notion of culture...

...Supernatural: The Life of William Branham Book 6: The Prophet and His Revelation 1960 – 1965 by Owen Jorgensen 1 Acknowledgments: In a project of this magnitude, it is understandable that I should owe many people a debt of gratitude for their help. First of all I want to thank Pearry Green for his vision, his encouragement and his efforts in publishing and distributing these books. I also want to thank Saundra Miles, David Buckley, Jay Weber, and the other people who spent many hours editing and proof reading the six manuscripts in this series. Their suggestions helped to make this a better book and a more accurate account of William Branham‘s life. Also, I want to thank Steven and Kathy Strooh, who put these books into audio format for all those people who would rather listen than read. I must certainly thank those people who have translated these books into their native languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Hindi, and many other languages. Supernatural: the Life of William Branham took me 17 years to complete. I was 34 when I started and 51 when I finished. To put that into perspective, my four children were in grade school when I began writing this biography. By the time I finished, three of my children were married and I had nine grandchildren. During the 17 years I worked on this project, my life had its ups and downs. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me during those 17 years. Finally I want to thank my four children—Benaiah...
