The thesis of this study is that the Persian kings named Darius, Ahasuerus, and Artaxerxes in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther are one and the same. This is not a new understanding, but an examination of recent commentaries on these books shows that this possibility is not even entertained, so certain are these expositors that Ahasuerus is the king the Greeks called Xerxes and that Artaxerxes is Artaxerxes Longimanus.

Mose hob seinen Stab und stieß das Ende in die Erde. Eine Staubwolke stob davon auf. In der Luft wurde sie schwarz und wuchs größer und größer an, bis sie die Palastmauern überragte. Vor Schreck ließen die Wachen ihre Speere fallen, während sie mit vor Angst geweiteten Augen aufblickten.

Does it feel like you should be happy, and want to be happy, and try to be happy, but somehow you just can’t be happy? One way to be unhappy is not getting what you most want. Another way is to get all you could possibly want…only to discover that everything is not enough. The writer of Ecclesiastes did it all. He had money, education, possessions, sex, and power—everything the modern world promises will bring joy—and yet he was never satisfied. And from his discontent, we benefit and find a surprisingly simple trail to lasting joy.

Enoch is a figure who receives direct personal revelation from God. He sees the magnificence of God and begins to preach to those around him against sin. He warns that the sinners will be winnowed and that God himself will appear on Mount Sinai to judge the humans as well as the fallen angels on Earth.

For many Christians reading the Old Testament, trying to understand Israel's prophets is like listening to just one side of a phone conversation—you only get half the idea of it. You hear the answer, but how do you know what question the prophet is answering? In The Lost Letters to the Twelve Prophets, John Goldingay uncovers the questions behind the prophets' answers that make their meaning and relevance intelligible to us.

As indicated by the title, this book presents a very critical look at the doctrine of Hell, which is rarely criticized within Christendom today. In the scriptures, there is no mention of "eternal torment" in the Old Testament, and in the Greek scriptures (the NT), there are three words translated to "hell": Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, none of which have anything to do with eternal torment. My objective is to guide you into the knowledge that the doctrine of hell is unbiblical and extremely harmful to those who hold to it.

In this new audiobook, I have taken eight stories from my previous audiobook Guided Ignatian Contemplation: Meditations on the Gospels to Come Closer to the Heart of Jesus and gone a step further by turning them into guided meditations. The eight stories from the gospels that have been selected are presented in chronological order. Also, Bible verses from other Old and New Testament books have been included that may relate to the story and enrich the text with the written word of God.

Dreams. Opportunity. Favor. Power. Blessings. Purpose. Jealousy. Conflict. Betrayal. Temptation. Prison. Difficulty. All of this and much more is found in the story of Joseph. His is a representative life in so many ways—an example for us all. Follow the adventures of Joseph and you will see both the positive and negative experiences of life. Most importantly, you will discover the one secret to the blessing of God at every stage in life: “The Lord was with Joseph.” Through his blessings and burdens, we learn how to live consciously in the presence of God.

There is no period when the distant roar of history can be heard pounding on the pages of the past with greater fury than during the 10 savage centuries known as "the fourth thousand years". This was the age of the first-world empires, the days when Assyria, Babylon, Greece, and Rome each displayed their passion for power. It was an age which demanded the resounding and inspired voices of many of God’s greatest spokesmen. The turbulent chaos of these centuries brought forth many mighty prophets of God—Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Jonah, Lehi, and many others.

As the last installment of R.J. Rushdoony's commentary series on the Pentateuch, it stands as one of the more dynamic expositions in the series in that it addresses God's demands upon man, family, church, and state. In short, Deuteronomy is the defining volume on theocracy. The redemptive power of Christ and the gift of the Holy Spirit are the enabling forces for a people to once again live faithful to God's covenant—and Deuteronomy provides the details for that covenant. Rushdoony's study represents a sizable deposit into securing the obedience of the church.

Depois disto, o homem me fez voltar à entrada do templo, e eis que saíam águas de debaixo do limiar do templo, para o oriente; porque a face da casa dava para o oriente, e as águas vinham de baixo, do lado direito da casa, do lado sul do altar. Ele me levou pela porta do norte e me fez dar uma volta por fora, até à porta exterior, que olha para o oriente; e eis que corriam as águas ao lado direito. (Ezequiel 47:1-2)

Depois disto, o homem me fez voltar à entrada do templo, e eis que saíam águas de debaixo do limiar do templo, para o oriente; porque a face da casa dava para o oriente, e as águas vinham de baixo, do lado direito da casa, do lado sul do altar. (Ezequiel 47:1)

Junto ao rio, às ribanceiras, de um e de outro lado, nascerá toda sorte de árvore que dá fruto para se comer; não fenecerá a sua folha, nem faltará o seu fruto; nos seus meses, produzirá novos frutos, porque as suas águas saem do santuário; o seu fruto servirá de alimento, e a sua folha, de remédio. (Ezequiel 47:12)

Tendo eu voltado, eis que à margem do rio havia grande abundância de árvores, de um e de outro lado. Então, me disse: Estas águas saem para a região oriental, e descem à campina, e entram no mar Morto, cujas águas ficarão saudáveis. Toda criatura vivente que vive em enxames viverá por onde quer que passe este rio, e haverá muitíssimo peixe, e, aonde chegarem estas águas, tornarão saudáveis as do mar, e tudo viverá por onde quer que passe este rio (Ezequiel 47:7-9)

Deus é o nosso refúgio e fortaleza, socorro bem presente nas tribulações. Portanto, não temeremos ainda que a terra se transtorne e os montes se abalem no seio dos mares; ainda que as águas tumultuem e espumejem e na sua fúria os montes se estremeçam. Há um rio, cujas correntes alegram a cidade de Deus, o santuário das moradas do Altíssimo. (Salmos 46:1-4)

Não são todos eles espíritos ministradores, enviados para serviço a favor dos que hão de herdar a salvação? (Hebreus 1:14)

Ele me levou pela porta do norte e me fez dar uma volta por fora, até à porta exterior, que olha para o oriente; e eis que corriam as águas ao lado direito. (Ezequiel 47:1-2)
