Books of Poetry

Image
The Poetic books of the Bible do not continue with the history of the Hebrew people, however, they are considered to be a transition from the History Books (1 Samuel through Esther) to the Prophetic books of the Major Prophets (Isaiah through Daniel). This section explores questions of suffering, love, wisdom, and the nature of the God of Israel. It examines inquiries of life, daily practical living, and relationships with others. Thus, they are also sometimes labelled the writings of “wisdom” especially found in Job, Ecclesiastes, and Proverbs. The remaining books are a collection of songs (psalms), love stories, and worship prayers. *            *            * The book of Job teaches us how to look through the lens of Pain When in great tribulation, those who turn to God, even if they argue, plead and protest in God's presence, will find a pathway nearer to the tender mercies.   No one understands the...

Books of History

The Historical books provide a collection of stories about the Israelites spanning nearly a millennium, from their conquest of Canaan until their return to Zion in 539 BCE. These books tell stories of: The entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land after The Exodus  The leadership of the biblical judges The establishment of the United Monarchy, and  Its subsequent division into the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah, and the Babylonian captivity *               *            * The book of Joshua teaches us the "Easy Path to Success" At one of the great crossroads of life, the Lord visited Joshua and told him to stay the course and keep walking the way "he knew to be right". Joshua didn't need any special courses or influencers or a seminary degree. He just needed to immerse himself in the assurance of God and live in obedience day-by-day. Life can be complicated, but fo...

Q uick question: How do you say: Ecclesiastes? If that made you doubt your skill of articulation, it was unintentional   😂   Now the real question is...  What is the meaning of "Ecclesiastes"? I am sure we all read the book completely or some verses. But, do you know what the word Ecclesiastes means? I just wanted to check how many Bible book names I actually know the meaning of. So today, I wanted to go on a journey and list the Books of the Bible and try to understand the meaning and context behind each book title in the Bible. ______________________________ The 66 Books of the Bible were written by various authors and at various times.  A lot of the books of the Bible are named after the person who wrote them the recipients of them the prophet who gives the central message of the book, or the main character involved in the record Some books don't really have a “meaning” other than the fact that it's the Author's name . Example Book of  James H...

Posthumous Love

“Nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde” I was watching a show which was well into its 6th season as they relayed an episode a week. Being a huge fan of the show, I joined their social media pages where several fans like me used to share views and opinions on the latest episode and its characters and conspiracy theories. Now, this show had a particularly negative character whom we all hated from the beginning. He has been nothing but a phony showboat who, with his position of power did nothing but cause hurt to the protagonist (whom we all loved).  We all fans waited till the final season to see how this bad guy would be humiliated and hurt and we wanted to see him walk with his tail between his legs.  The day finally came, he was indeed humiliated and hurt, and everything but, the creators of the shows decided to ' kill ' him to create a sense of shock and awe. It worked, I was shocked but also relieved and was expecting everyone to be relieved too.  But I was surp...
