Mass-Migration To The Western World In Light Of The Hebrew Bible : The Challenge Of Complexity, Markus Zehnder

Faculty Articles & Research

The present study deals with two distinct aspects of the biblical views of migration: 1) What are some of the salient distinctions that are made within the biblical material concerning various types of 'foreigners'? 2) What does the complex web of traditions concerning ethnic and religious 'otherness' and various kinds of migration within the Hebrew Bible look like? The concepts of nokri and ger, different types of foreigners living in Israel, are analysed in detail. At the end some of the main aspects of migration in New Testament texts, especially as they relate to the Hebrew Bible, will be presented. …

Passover In The Gospel Of Luke, Darrell L. Bock

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

Te events of the Last Supper are critical as it is the basis for what is commonly known as the Lord’s Supper or Communion. Te Apostle Paul considers this meal to be important as he makes direct reference to the words spoken by Jesus at the table, which most Christians today hear regularly. (1 Cor. 11:23–25)...

We will attempt to answer the question, “What does the first-century Jewish background of the Passover holiday contribute to our understanding of what Jesus did with His disciples at this evidently special meal?” Specifically, we will need to establish if a Passover or Passover-like …

Passover In The Torah, Robert Walter

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

...While there are no specific mentions of the Passover in Genesis, there are allusions to the Exodus. Therefore, as we embark on this study of the Passover in the Torah it’s important to examine these Genesis passages to gain a greater understanding of the Passover’s Exodus context.

Passover And The Lord’S Supper, Brian Crawford

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

Once we leave the Gospel accounts of the Passover and come to 1 Corinthians, we find ourselves in the unusual position of going back to the future. Although the Gospels are the written accounts of Yeshua’s life, it is likely that they were not written down until after the Apostle Paul penned the letter of 1 Corinthians in 54 or 55 c.e...

Paul refers to or alludes to Passover in three separate sections of 1 Corinthians, each of which we will investigate further below. Tis recurring Passover theme is striking due to Paul’s silence on the matter in his other …

Coming Kingdom In Jesus’ Words, Darrell Bock

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

Noting that the kingdom is already, not yet and that Jesus’ outline of what is to come only starts the biblical discussion of the end, this study traces six themes from Jesus’ teaching on the Kingdom to come. It also considers some “until” texts in Luke-Acts that show hope for Israel’s restoration. Finally there is a look at Acts 1:6-8 showing Jesus taught the hope for Israel’s restoration. The hope of the end is the hope of shalom, justice, and the vindication of the saints.

Coming Kingdom And The Day Of The Lord In Joel 2, Daniel Nessim

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

The concept of the ‘Day of the Lord’ requires definition in regard to other ‘Days’ in the Hebrew Bible and has proven difficult for scholars to find an agreed approach to, let alone come to a consensus definition. The prophet Joel and its locust imagery provide a matrix for interpreting the term. The militarisation of the locust horde in Joel 2 compared to that of Joel 1 clarifies the author’s metaphorical intent. It also signals the actual, literal Day of the Lord that Joel wishes to signify. While eschatological in nature, this Day of the Lord can be averted by …

Coming Kingdom And Biblical Interpretation, Craig A. Blaising

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

This paper, on the Coming Kingdom and Biblical Interpretation, describes the methods used to interpret the Bible. Initially this involves an analytical summary of the historical difference between literal and figurative approaches to Scripture and how an allegorical reading of the Bible was used to minimize the role played by the Jewish people in the plan of God. Typology is used today by a supersessionist approach to the Bible to reject the national and territorial promises of Israel and spiritualize them as being fulfilled in Jesus and thereby the Church. In conclusion we can demonstrate the weakness of this approach …

Coming Kingdom And The Hope Of Israel, Calvin L. Smith

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

The purpose of this paper is to set out a case for the hope of Israel in the eschatological future. The primary focus in this paper is Romans, the climax of the Apostle Paul’s discussion and argument concerning ethnic Israel in Romans 9-11, in addition this is framed by drawing on other biblical texts. The aim is to set the scene — and provide a summary in terms of biblical theology — for the case for God’s calling and purpose for the Jewish people, with a special focus on the eschatological place of Israel as set out in Romans 11. …

Thy Kingdom Come, Derek Tidball

Journal of Messianic Jewish Studies

Starting with the prayer, ‘Your kingdom come’, this paper introduces the sources of the idea of the Kingdom of God which was central to the person, mission and teaching of Jesus. After some preliminary general comments about the Kingdom of God in the New Testament, the teaching of Jesus about its present and future dimensions are reviewed before the latter is more fully explored. Paul’s teaching on the coming kingdom is then surveyed and finally the perspective of apocalyptic is introduced. A brief discursive mentions the relationship between the kingdom and the cross. The paper concludes by referring to the …

Facing Life Without Fear Pt. 4, Billy Ingram

Speakers

People need to hear the word. They don't need to hear our debates and our criticism they need to hear what's going to help them and that's been I think the problem with the church. We're so busy disputing and fighting with each other while the world is going to hell. And it's time we wake up to the urgency and the call of God upon our lives to present such a message of simplicity that even the fool won't miss it.

Jonah And Evangelism : A Biblical Approach, G. Michael Cocoris

Biola Radio Publications

Most Christians know the story of Jonah, but few understand its message. Preachers have proclaimed the subject of the book to be doing the will of God, chastening, evangelism, missions, or the grace of God. All of these subjects are mentioned in the book, but the main theme is the grace of God (Jonah 4:2) The drama of Jonah demonstrated the extent of God's grace.

One of Christ's last instructions to His disciples was the Great Commission - to go into all the world and preach the gospel. The disciples took His words literally, spreading out across the known world, …
