List of Kings of Israel and Judah

This is for my students in Old Testament Literature and those who care.  There are 2 very important concepts in learning to value and appreciate the Old Testament.

The first is Geography.  You have to have a basic understanding of the land of the Bible.

There are 3 parts to the fertile Crescent represented by this map.  1. Egypt   2.Palestine/Israel   3. Mesopotamia

The Second is Chronology.  You have to understand when things happened behind the text of the Old Testament.

Today I discovered a nice tool in Accordance Bible Software where you could select a timeline area, and it would create a list with dates and Scripture references.  I'm posting it here so the Scriptures will be hyperlinked. (Thank you Reftagger)

The Deity of Jesus

This past Sunday, our message was on Why We Believe.  We focused on the Assemblies of God doctrine number 3, The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Below are the subheadings with the respective scripture portions for further study and reflection.  May the Lord bless you as you focus on His word.

Matthew 1:23
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

His Sinless Life

Hebrews 7:26
For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
1 Peter 2:22
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.

His Miracles

Acts 2:22
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—
Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

His Substitutionary Work on the Cross

1 Corinthians 15:3
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

His Bodily Resurrection from the Dead

Matthew 28:6
He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
Luke 24:39
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
1 Corinthians 15:4
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

His Exaltation to the Right Hand of God

Acts 1:9
And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
Acts 1:11
and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
Acts 2:33
Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.
Philippians 2:9–11
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 1:3
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
