Book Description
The interpretations of 'Song of Songs' in the tannaitic midrashim, the first rabbinic scriptural commentaries, employ a form of allegory known as figural interpretation or typology in order to correlate this work to Israel's ideal national narrative represented by events such as the crossing of the sea and the giving of the Torah. This approach to interpreting 'Song of Songs' helped shape rabbinic conceptions of the character and practice of model Israel as well as of an idealised vision of their beloved, God.

Count God In

Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This study of Song of Songs uncovers many patterns related to the numerical value twenty-six and related numbers for the divine name YHWH. Patterns are so unique that they clearly show authorial intent. They involve the numerical value of root forms of words, their sequences, and their totals in the book. The beloved man is highlighted by special patterns, which indicate that a typology for God is intended. Deer names in the refrain have number patterns that confirm intention for being circumlocutions for divine names. The disputed presence of the divine name YH in 8:6 is confirmed by the value of its full word. One of the most striking patterns found with the help of a computer is that the totals of root words are all arranged to point to theological numbers in a beautiful intricacy. Besides describing these patterns, this study discusses numerical competence within a proposed Hebrew literary circle, and what steps they might have gone through to create these amazing phenomena. These theological numbers confirm intentionality for allusions to the Hebrew Bible and support a hermeneutic of spiritual applications. A literary analysis of each poem focuses on the use of numbers among other features of prominence.

The Outcasts
Author: Nancy Mankins Hamm
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1607918994
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
"You will marry Fidel." Her father's menacing tone was all too loud and clear. "Yesterday I gave him my word." Victoria's long black hair flew over her shoulder as the fifteen-year-old met her father's angry glare. His hands were hurting her arms, as he continued to grasp her tightly. Her once-beautiful, soft brown eyes were wild with fear and hate. With all of her heart she wanted to die rather than succumb to his demand. But, she had no choice-no choice at all! Fidel and Victoria-in their remote Central American village-are bound by fear and traditions that have held their people captive for generations. At the words of mysterious outsiders, the tiniest spark of hope ignites within Victoria's heart. But, defying a deadly taboo, Fidel and Victoria are forced into exile-evading those who seek to destroy their family. Through the pages of this Christian fiction-though the year is 1972-you will step into another world and experience life through the eyes of people who have been suspended in time by isolation. You will be caught up in adventure and intrigue as two worlds finally collide. Nancy Mankins Hamm served as a missionary with NTM in Panama-until her late husband, Dave, and two colleagues, were kidnapped from their isolated village by Colombian terrorists. For eight-and-a-half years the wives waited, only to learn that their husbands had been martyred by their captors. Nancy wrote the book Hostage, the Incredible True Story of the Kidnapping of Three American Missionaries. The Outcasts is Nancy's first work of fiction. Nancy shares this message through her books: God is able; He hears our cries; and He provides a way. Currently, Nancy and her husband, Gary, live in Florida.

Knowing God the Father
Author: Russell M. Stendal
Publisher: Ransom Press International
ISBN: 093122117X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire for him is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatever we will in Jesus' name and our prayers may be granted. By the Holy Spirit, we can have such deep and intimate communion with Jesus and the Father, that seeing our love for one another, everyone shall know that we are his disciples (John 13:35). And this is life eternal, that they might know the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. – John 17:3

The Kabbalah Unveiled
Author: S. L. MacGregor Mathers
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
The Kabbalah Unveiled is a book concerning Kabbalah by freemason and occultist by S. L. MacGregor Mathers. Kabbalah is an esoteric method, discipline, and school of thought in Jewish mysticism. It is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between the unchanging, eternal God–the mysterious Ein Sof ("The Infinite")–and the mortal, finite universe (God's creation). It forms the foundation of mystical religious interpretations within Judaism. Historically, Kabbalah emerged from earlier forms of Jewish mysticism, in 12th- to 13th-century Spain and Southern France, and was reinterpreted during the Jewish mystical renaissance in 16th-century Ottoman Palestine. Jewish Kabbalists originally developed their own transmission of sacred texts within the realm of Jewish tradition. The Kabbalah Unveiled includes translations and commentaries of the books of Zohar: The Book of Concealed Mystery; The Greater Holy Assembly; and The Lesser Holy Assembly.
