The Liberty Biblical Museum is located in the Jerry Falwell Library. One can find the museum by walking in the main doors, and going down the stairs. The purpose of the museum is to bring the Bible to life by showing different artifacts of the time. The museum has many artifacts that are from the holy land, different manuscripts, and it also has the rare Bible. With reading and visualizing all the different artifacts, one can learn a lot about a culture and their way of life. The museum offers tours, that tend to be an hour long, every Thursday at 12pm. They also offer tours for special occasions, which can be found on their homepage. At the museum, I learned about many artifacts that were related to the Bible and that time frame. My favorite…
The Temple is building where divine beings are worshiped. God told Israel to build him a temple and worship him there. He rewarded them by showing up there in Spirit. In the New Testament, God’s people, not a building, are the temple. This is because the Holy Spirit lives within the hearts of those who follow Christ (Follow the Rabi, n.d.). However, the Temple of Jesus’ day was the ancient center of Jewish worship where sacrifices were performed. From the time Solomon had it built in 957 BCE to its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE, this was where sacrifices and other religious rituals were performed. This first Temple was partially destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BCE and rebuilt in 516 BCE. All that is left of the Second Temple is the Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall or the Kotel. This is actually part of the retaining wall, not a wall of the building itself. The Temple was located on a platform above and behind this wall; it is as close to the Temple sanctuary as Jews can go now that a Muslim shrine, called the Dome of the Rock, occupies the site (Rich, 2012).…
The covenant theologian sees God’s revelation and man’s history as an outworking of God’s redemptive purposes for mankind, especially through Israel. It adopts the word “covenant” from the Bible but uses it in a different time framework than those covenants recorded through the Old and New Testaments. It chooses, overall, a less literal approach to Scripture interpretation, especially prophecy, and makes no clear distinction between the Israel of the Old Testament and the church of the New Testament. A modern modification is New Covenant Theology, which makes a complete disjunction between the old covenant and the new covenant. There is a modification of covenant theology based on the kingdom and its relationship to the covenants; this seeks to be a bridge between covenant and dispensational theology.…
The book was very detailed about what a horrific place Israel would become of they did not obey God’s laws and put Him first. He promised terrible curses if people disobeyed God.

The Jews believed they are god’s chosen people. Therefor they think they are special and this in turn tend to make them isolated from society of other peoples. The Jews were led by Moses who God had spoken to, to lead his people out of Egypt and slavery.

King David, a member of the tribe of Judah was chosen by God to lead his people. As everyone knows, he proved by his wise choices to be a very effective leader. As a great military strategist David united the tribes and extended the national boundaries so that in his time Israel enjoyed a greater fraction of the land promised to Abraham than has ever since been the case. David ruled as king for seven years and Hebron, then established his throne in Jerusalem after overcoming the ancient Jebusite community there. His reign continued there in Jerusalem for the next 32 years. Secure on his throne and dwelling in a magnificent palace of cedar and stone, David began to be concerned that he, the visible king, dwelled in a magnificent house, but the invisible King of kings still dwelt in an aging temporary tent, the Tabernacle of Moses.

The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
