Every September, my friend Marc Hong, a professor at Louisville Seminary, hosts Psalmtember. He invites you to join in, too!

Think "Inktober," but in September and with a spiritual focus — and with any art form welcome, from drawing to poetry to photography and beyond. There's also no pressure to create something for every day — do as many or as few as you like.

Here's Marc's description of this artistic event:

Each year, I love to spend a month making art inspired by the Psalms. There are 30 days in September, meaning that I can evenly divide up the 150 Psalms into 5 sets of 30. So, if I do this for 5 years, I will have made art with all of the Psalms. Join me! The prompt list is in the image [as well as below the readmore]. But other words may stand out to you! Or you may try to make art that represents the wholeness of the Psalm. I encourage you to read the text of the whole Psalm each day, consider what emotions it stirs up in you, choose a medium that speaks to you, and make some art! Folks have painted, used ink, drawn with colored pencils, taken photographs, written haikus, and much more. Choose what stirs delight in you!

Tag your post with #psalmtember2023 so we can celebrate the Psalms through art together!

Marc and many others post on Facebook, but I'll be paying attention to the tag here on tumblr. If you create anything you'd like me to share on Facebook on your behalf, DM me.

Title: The Significance of Each Book of the Bible

Introduction:

The Bible is a collection of 66 books that together form the inspired Word of God. Each book has its own unique message, themes, and significance that contribute to the overall story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Let's explore the importance of each book of the Bible.

Lesson Points:

1. The Old Testament:

- Genesis: The book of beginnings, detailing creation, the fall, and the establishment of God's covenant with His people.

- Exodus: The story of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt and the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai.

- Psalms: A collection of songs and prayers that express a range of human emotions and provide a guide for worship.

- Proverbs: Wisdom literature that offers practical advice for living a righteous and wise life.

- Isaiah: Prophecies about the coming Messiah and God's plan of salvation.

2. The New Testament:

- Matthew: Emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the establishment of the kingdom of God.

- Acts: Chronicles the early spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church.

- Romans: Explains the doctrine of justification by faith and the implications of salvation through Christ.

- Corinthians: Addresses issues within the church and provides practical guidance for Christian living.

- Revelation: Offers apocalyptic visions of the end times, the victory of Christ, and the establishment of the new heaven and earth.

3. Themes and Messages:

- Each book of the Bible contributes to the overarching themes of God's love, redemption, forgiveness, and salvation for all humanity.

- Together, these books provide a complete narrative of God's work in the world and His plan for His people.

Application:

- Take time to explore and study each book of the Bible, seeking to understand its unique message and significance.

- Reflect on how the themes and stories in the Bible can impact your own life and faith journey.

- Consider how the teachings and examples in the Bible can shape your beliefs and actions as a follower of Christ.

Conclusion:

The books of the Bible are not just separate entities but are interconnected parts of the larger story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Each book has its own importance and contributes to the overall message of God's plan for salvation. May we approach the study of the Bible with reverence and openness to the wisdom and guidance it offers for our lives.

Plagues in the Bible Lesson 04: Plagues in the Wilderness

After the ten plagues of Egypt, the people of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses. After such an experience, one would think the people of Israel had more than their fair share of plagues. However, they went through at least four more plagues in their wilderness journey? What happened and why?

Let’s read together Exodus 16:1-16; Numbers 11:1-6, 18-20, 31-33; and Psalms 78:17-32, 105:40, 106:13-15.

The Bible records two times where the people of Israel were asking for meat. Both times God responded by giving them quail. Why did God send a plague upon the people of Israel the second time?

God showed mercy towards the people of Israel the first time they asked for meat. However, the people of Israel demonstrated distrust of God when they asked for meat the second time. God had already provided them food daily by giving them manna. He also gave them water when they needed it. Yet, the people of Israel were tired of manna and craving meat. They even went so far as to crave the food they had when they were slaves in Egypt.

Interestingly, the name “Kibroth Hattaavah” can be translated as “graves of craving” or “graves of lust.” God punished the people of Israel for giving into their carnal cravings.

Let’s read together Numbers chapters 13 and 14.

Moses sent twelve spies to check out the land of Canaan. They returned after forty days and confirmed that land was indeed bountiful. However, ten of the spies told the people of Israel that they would not be able to conquer the inhabitants of the land, who were simply too large and powerful.

Joshua and Caleb begged the people of Israel to follow the word of the Lord in faith to enter the promised land in faith. However, the people murmured against Moses and Aaron, wanting to choose new leaders to take them back to Egypt.

In response to the people’s rebellion, God sent a plague that killed the ten spies. The people of Israel would also not be allowed to enter the promised land for another forty years. They would all die in the wilderness, except for Joshua and Caleb. Thus, the people of Israel were punished for blatantly doubting God’s promises and seeking to make their own way.

Let’s read together Number 16:46-50; Romans 8:34; and Hebrews 7:25.

Korah, Dathan, and Abiram led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. They contended for the leadership of Israel, but they failed to acknowledge that it was God who appointed Moses and Aaron to be leaders. Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were killed by God for their presumption.

However, the rebellion did not end there. The next day the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, siding with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. God sent a plague upon the people of Israel. Aaron rushed into the camp with a censer to atone for the people of Israel. He literally stood between the living and the dead to end the plague.

Aaron’s intercessory action pointed to Jesus, who would stand between us and the plague of sin.

Let’s read together Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:13-15; and John 12:30-36.

Once again, the people of Israel murmured against Moses. God sent poisonous fiery serpents to plague them in response. God instructed Moses to make a bronze snake and set it upon a pole. Anyone bit by a fiery serpent would live if they looked upon the bronze snake. However, if they refused to look up at the bronze snake, they would die.

This incident foreshadowed Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Jesus died bearing all the sins of humanity. Everyone who repents of their sins and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved. However, anyone who refuses to accept Jesus will die in their own sins.

Let’s read together Isaiah 45:22; John 14:6; 1 John 2:1; and Hebrews 12:2.

What can we learn from these plagues in the wilderness? We will die in our sins if we rely upon ourselves. Instead, we need to look upon Jesus and accept His infinite sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is the only One who can save us from the plague of sin.

Friend, will you confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

1 Kings 22: 41-50. "The Provincial Governor."

Ahab dies, and becomes a "lesson learned." Now his son Ahaziah, "To take possession of" succeeds him. The etymology of the term contains a large variety of references:

The verb אחז (ahaz), meaning to take hold of, seize or grasp, is used in pretty much any sense in which two naturally disconnected entities become firmly united.

Beams connect walls (or not - 1 Kings 6:6), cords hold curtains (Esther 1:6), and a footstool is attached to Solomon's throne (2 Chronicles 9:18). Jacob holds on to Esau's heel (Genesis 25:26), Ruth holds on to her cloak (Ruth 3:15), and men keep swords on their hips (Song of Solomon 3:8).

God holds people to shake them to pieces (Job 16:12) or to guide them (Psalm 73:23, 139:10). Pain or fear seizes people (Exodus 15:14, 2 Samuel 1:9).

The righteous holds on to his way (Job 17:9). One in every fifty is selected (Numbers 31:30), or taken by lot (1 Chronicles 24:6).

This verb's sole derivative is the feminine noun אחזה (ahuzza), meaning possession, or that what is held, seized (Genesis 36:43, Numbers 27:7, Psalm 2:8).

The journey from Ahab to Ahaz in search of God continues, meaning what was once just subject matter must eventually become the object of direct experience or one's religious opus is just a waste of time. Explaining sex to a virgin is impossible, though we agonize over it anyway. The same is true for the Direct Experience of Ha Shem which must be seized through constant study of the Tanakh.

The Melachim adds to the process of discovery by explaining how the parallel lines of succession across other Jewish Royal Families add dimensions:

Jehoshaphat King of Judah

41 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

43 In everything he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.[c]

44 Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.

45 As for the other events of Jehoshaphat’s reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

46 He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.

47 There was then no king in Edom; a provincial governor ruled.

48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships[d] to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail—they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.

49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with yours,” but Jehoshaphat refused.

50 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him as king.

This section explains Direct Experience but it does so in a criminally indirect way. To sail a trading ship in search of gold is to meditate in search of proof of the Torah.

Moses went up the Mountain to fetch the Torah, but an ordinary Jew must set sail deep within the mind in search of the essence of his faith, the place where the Ophir gold ore of his Jewishness, his belief Moses gave us the Torah on Sinai for express purposes, is exposed.

If one is born within a genuinely Jewish body or is woven in by real Jews, then one knows of the importance of risking this trip across the Black Sea to the Gilligan's Island of faith.

Ophir gold is likened to the ash of doubt and delusion produced once beholds the Divine Glories of Ha Shem. Like having sex, a man can emphasize or evangelize the properties of Ha Shem, but as the scripture says, this is a profoundly personal journey that requires the vetting of one's personal problems and issues that lay between the shore and the farthest reaches of Ha Shem found at Ezion Geber.

Ezion Geber is Hebrew for what is called Samadhi "deep inner peace" in Sanskrit:

Verb עצם ('asam) speaks of a skeletal structure that (a) lies hidden beneath an obvious surface, and (b) provides the invisible inner strength that keeps the whole in shape. Noun עצם ('osem) means might or skeleton.

Noun עצמה ('osma) means strength. Noun עצם ('esem) means bone but may also be used to refer to one's whole body. Adjective עצום ('asum) means mighty or numerous. Noun תעצמה (ta'asuma) is a plural and intensive form meaning might but a whole lot of it.

Our verb may also mean to shut or close, predominantly of eyes, and presumably in order to review one's inner mental structures. Noun עצמות ('asumot) appears to refer to the "bones" of one's reason, the certainties upon which all creativities are grafted.

The verb גבר (gabar) means to be strong or mighty or to prevail. Noun גבר (geber) is one of a few words for man, perhaps comparable to our words "guy" or "dude".

Adjective or noun גבור (gibbor) means mighty or strong or valiant man. Noun גבורה (gebura) means strength or might.

Noun גביר (gebir) refers to an alpha male: a lord or master, and the feminine equivalents are גבירה (gebira) and גברת (geberet), mistress or queen.

Jehoshaphat, who found Ha Shem at Ezion Geber, is one of the few names in the Melachim that are not maligned in some way. He was one of David and Solomon's scribes, and his name, Jehoshaphat, son of Asa and Azubah daughter of Shilhi.

The entire name means "God governs by healing all sorrows caused by the arrows of the missile branch."

Once again, we discuss the importance of the influencers on the development of fertile young men and women using the Torah.

The process is akin to the way an animal hide is stretched out to cure the hide. Government by God ensures humanity is likewise dried out of all the iniquity caused by disobedience of God in Eden, AKA by following the Torah which is "spread out" cover to cover.

Jehoshaphat's reign is also explained using Gematria:

v. 41: The Number for the Fourth Year of Ahab is 3727, גזבז, "wasted". Ahab spent his time getting his weiner whacked by a horrible dog, his wife, the prostitute Jezebel. Jehoshphat obviously avoided doing such things.

He reigned for 25 years in Jerusalem: The Number is 11450, יאד‎ה אֶפֶס, yada efes, "to know God backwards and forwards." Recall this means Ha Shem is known as Subject, also as Object and as both and also as neither.

To govern oneself after Eden, after the loss of innocence is the beginning of understanding of the mysteries of how Ha Shem governs the creation. But this requires an adult mind, one that is willing to shipwreck on Ezion Geber.

In verse 43, however we see a warning about Jews that want to burn incense in the high places and follow scripture without reverence for the possible existence of a Jewish soul. To burn incense in the high places, to fog the mind up with but literal understanding of the Religion is a sin of which one must be acquitted through a Sin Offering: any action that is deliberately taken but does not yield happiness as promised is a sin for which one must perform a sacrifice.

This portion of the Tanakh refers to the Kings and Princes of Israel, AKA the government. Governments must be the first to sacrifice strategies that do not contribute to the happiness of the people. Happiness can be measured and observed, it's not that difficult to police the happiness of the people.

Verse 44 and 45 refer to peace with Israel due to military exploits:

The Values are 9143, טאדג, tadge, "the place where fertile news is grown."

The feminine noun γη (ge) means earth (hence our English prefix "geo-") but predominantly as fertile and producing ground. In translations our noun may be interpreted as earth, land or ground but always with the underlying idea of being fertile and bringing forth.

When our word is juxtaposed with ουρανος (ouranos) or "heaven", it should not be understood to denote our planet in space, but rather as the dry land that had risen from the seas and now brings forth produce, and has clouds over it and water exchanging between all of them (see for more about the hydrological cycle in the Bible our article on the Hebrew equivalent of our word, namely ארץ, 'eres, meaning earth).

When our word denotes the arena in which something like news propagates, it denotes basic humanity as the fertile field in which culture sprouts and grows (the actual world-wide human civilization is most often referred to with the familiar word κοσμος, kosmos).

Military exploits refer to efforts that are conscripted, they are duties and they cannot be neglected or refused. They are generally associated with the Decrees, but any action that is pregnant with good sense falls into the annal of a military exploit. They give birth to other meritorious acts in others as the details above explain.

The chain of events is likened to a "male hydrological cycle" which as we learned begins in early adolescence, when a boy joins the "military". Steps should obviously be taken to ensure the barracks do not include persons who are devious or ritually impure (v. 46).

The value is 5050, ןן, nah, which means "Please!"

The particle נא (na') is the common Hebrew particle of entreaty: please! At times it's also used admonishingly or even exhortatory.

This particle shows up tied to all kinds of verbs:

אמרי־נא (amari-na'), literally meaning speak please, or simply: say! (Genesis 12:13).

שא־נא (sa'na'), meaning lift please (your eyes; look! - Genesis 13:14).

השמרי־נא (hashmari-na), meaning watch out please!

v. 47 refers to a King of Edom, "the King of Commitment", whose position was filled by a governor. The Value is 3930, גטגאֶפֶס‎, getgapes, "The winepress of vision, the cycle of the winepress, which removes all fear is Pesach."

The Passover is the greatest of the Edoms as this is the time and the process by which the Jew, taking his name and heritage upon himself throws off the chains of delusion and circles the world in search of ways to perform Jehoram, the harvest of the fruits, to make it more prosperous.

How this is meant to take place depends on the duty God reveals during one's acquisition of Ha Shem. For a Jew this will manifest in certain ways, a Muslim in others, for a Buddhist in the manners of a Buddhist. Realization always takes place according to the raft one rides to the distant shore. The raft of the Jew of course, is the Torah.

Regardless of the nature of the raft, all must culminate in a single form of obligation called Shabbat. How we approach this, whether through the worship of Yah, Allah, Hanuman or Communion with the Christ is immaterial provided everyone on the planet partakes of Shabbat. And this would first depend on global understanding of the essence of Passover. Always, always it comes down to the realization of the Jew and the Passover.

Pictures of the Kingdom

31 Another parable He put before them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like a mustard-seed, which a man takes and sows in his ground. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, and yet when full-grown it is larger than any herb and forms a tree, so that the birds come and build in its branches." 33 Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."

44 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground. 45 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant who is in quest of choice pearls. 46 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it costs all he has, he buys it. 47 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts. 48 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away. 49 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth." 51 "Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said. 52 "Therefore," He said, "remember that every Scribe well trained for the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a householder who brings out of his storehouse new things and old." — Matthew 13:31-33 and 44-52 | Weymouth New Testament (WNT) The Weymouth New Testament Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 18:6; Judges 6:19; Job 28:13; Psalm 104:12; Proverbs 2:4; Song of Solomon 7:13; Ezekiel 17:23; Ezekiel 47:10; Daniel 3:6; Matthew 4:18; Matthew 7:6; Matthew 8:12; Matthew 13:24; Matthew 13:53; Matthew 17:20; Matthew 25:32; Revelation 18:12

Letters;

Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Hebrews James 1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude

Prophecy;

Revelation

How to (properly) Read The Bible:

Start off with the gospels in this order:

1. John 2. Mark 3. Matthew 4. Luke

These books teach you about who Jesus is and the works that he has done (physically present on Earth).

Then you're going to read in this order:

5. Genesis 6. Exodus 7. Leviticus 8. Numbers 9. Deuteronomy

These books will teach you about the fall of man, God's chosen people the Israelites and the law (all sins).

Then you're going to move over to the New Testament once more and read from this order:

10. Romans 11. Galatians 12. Colossians

These books are basically an extended teach about the law, about Jesus' sacrifices, and what it means to us and a few tips about how to be a Christian and how to walk with the Holy Spirit.

Then read:

13. Proverbs 14. Ecclesiastes (talks about the meaning of life)

This is sort of a break from reading but it will be filled with Godly wisdom.

Then you're going to read:

15. Job 16. 1 Peter

This will teach you about things that will happen to you as a Christian, and that you should not follow God for your own self ambition (selfishness).

Then read:

17. 1 Corinthians 18. 2 Corinthians 19. Ephesians 20. Philippians 21. 1 Thessalonians 22. 2 Thessalonians 23. 1 Timothy 24. 2 Timothy 25. James 26. 2 Peter 27. 1 John 28. 2 John 29. 3 John 30. Jude 31. Psalms

These books teach you how to be a Christian (once more), a few end time prophecies, who God is, how he acts, what he will do for you, his promises, and his personality.

Then read from this order:

32. Joshua 33. Judges 34. 1 Samuel 35. 2 Samuel 36. 1 Kings 37. 2 Kings 38. 1 Chronicles 39. 2 Chronicles 40. Ezra 41. Nehemiah 42. Jeremiah 43. Lamentations 44. Ezekiel 45. Joel 46. Amos 47. Obadiah 48. Nahum 49. Habakkuk 50. Zephaniah 51. Haggai 52. Zechariah 53. Malachi 54. Micah 55. Hosea

These teach you about God and his personality, his interactions with the world, the rise and fall of the Israelites, their betrayals of God and his attempts to bring them back to him, and a few end time prophecies.

Then read:

56. Ruth 57. Esther 58. Jonah 59. Song Of Solomon 60. Acts 61. Titus 62. Philemon

This is a bit of a reading break. It has a few stories, love songs, and some church history.

Then you're going to read in this order:

63. Hebrews (Why things had to happen the way that they did) 64. Isaiah (Prophecies for Jesus, end time prophecies, a little bit about heaven and Lucifer) 65. Daniel (end time prophecies) 66. Revelation (end time prophecies)

That will be all. Thanks for having me.

Verse: Psalm 119:1-112

Copy God’s word:

Explain verse by verse:

In beginning to describe man’s blessedness, the psalmist starts with the idea that being undefiled in the way is a blessing.

Lesson that you learned from these passages: (summary)

Many people – ancient and modern – think the life lived undefiled in the way is boring at best. The idea is that if there isn’t any defilement in it, then it can’t be any fun. Yet the one who walks in God’s word knows the true blessedness of living and enjoying an undefiled life.

What will you do? I will simply say that God is blessed; He wants us to share His blessedness
