2 MAKING SENSE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT Seven Stages f Old Testament Histry Stage One: Humanity is created but falls in sin (pre 2000BC) Genesis 1-11 petically tells the stry. Starts with the creatin f the wrld and humanity and culture (1-2). Fllwed by the fall f the wrld and humanity and culture (3-11). Key peple: Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Nah Stage Tw: The Jewish peple cme int being ( BC) Genesis tells the stry. The stry fcuses in n the fathers f the Jews, called the Patriarchs. It tells hw they came abut, and hw they landed in Egypt. Gd, thrugh Abraham and his descendants, frms fr himself a family f peple thrugh which he will bless the whle wrld. Key peple: Abraham, Isaac, Jacb and Esau, Jseph Stage Three: The Exdus and the lng jurney t the Prmised Land ( BC) Exdus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuternmy tell the stry. Thrugh Mses, Gd pwerfully delivers the Jews frm slavery in Egypt and then gives them the Law and wrship system, which wuld guide them as a peple. Because f their disbedience, they spend 40 years in the desert befre being allwed t enter the Prmised Land. Key persn: Mses Stage Fur: Settlement in the Prmised Land ( BC) Jshua and Judges tell the stry. The bk f Ruth was written at this time. The Jews finally cnquer the Prmised Land althugh they have n king and are nly a bunch f 12 lsely cnnected tribes at this stage. At first they are bedient, but begin t drift frm Gd. Key peple: Jshua, Debrah, Ruth, Giden, Samsn Stage Five: The Jews becme a pwerful plitical natin under a king ( BC) 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1-11 and 1 Chrnicles tell the stry. At this pint the petic bks (Jb, mst f Psalms (mainly by David), Prverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Sng f Sngs (all three mainly by Slmn)) are written. Thrugh Samuel, Gd anints first Saul (wh fails as king) and then David (wh succeeds as king). Slmn succeeds his father David. The kingdm f Israel reaches its high pint f pwer and glry under him. Key peple: Samuel, Saul, David, Slmn 2

3 Stage Six: The Jewish kingdm divides in tw and ultimately bth kingdms are verthrwn and are taken int captivity ( BC) 1 Kings 12-22, 2 Kings and 2 Chrnicles tell the stry. Esther tells a stry f hw the Jews experience threat in exile during this time. This split f the natin f the Jews int tw creates sme cnfusin fr Bible readers because we need t knw whether the Nrthern r Suthern kingdm is being spken abut. The Nrthern kingdm (cnsisting f 10 f the 12 tribes) is called Israel r Ephraim, with Samaria as the capital. The Suthern ne (tw tribes) is called Judah. It spans 19 kings f Israel, and 20 kings f Judah. Every king f Israel is crrupt, while 8 f the kings f Judah turn t Gd. During this time Gd sends prphets t bth the Nrth and the Suth. In the Nrth the prphetic wrd is rejected. In the Suth, at times it is accepted. The prphecies are laded with warnings f judgment. If they will nt turn t Gd, they can expect t experience destructin at the hands f pwerful tyrant natins. If they repent, Gd will spare them. Sadly, they dn t meaningfully return t Gd. Many f the prphets wh speak fr Gd als write dwn their message at this time. Mst f the 17 Prphetic Bks in the Old Testament are these messages: Isaiah Suthern kingdm prphet Jeremiah Suthern kingdm prphet Lamentatins Jeremiah weeps fr the destryed Jerusalem Ezekiel prphet in exile in freign land Daniel prphet in exile in freign land Hsea Nrthern kingdm prphet Ams Nrthern kingdm prphet Obadiah prphet f dm t neighburing peple, Edm Jnah prphet sent t save Ninevah, capital f Assyria Micah cntemprary f Isaiah in the Suthern kingdm Nahum prphet celebrating the fall f the Assyrians Habakkuk prphet f dm tward the cruel Babylnians Zephaniah Suthern kingdm prphet Sadly, the Nrthern kingdm, judged by Gd fr its persistent rebellin, falls t the Assyrians in 722BC. It ges int exile and never recvers. Lacking all faith-cnvictin, it is entirely assimilated int Assyria. The Suthern kingdm, als judged by Gd fr its persistent rebellin, falls t the Babylnians 130 years later (587BC), when it falls t the Babylnians. Jerusalem is destryed. They g int exile (nly the pr are left behind), but hld nt their Jewish religin. Stage Seven: Sme f the Suthern kingdm exiles begin t return t rebuild Jerusalem ( BC) Ezra and Nehemiah tell the stry. The prphecies f Haggai, Zechariah, Jel and Malachi are written at this time. Fllwing the cnquering f Babyln by Cyrus the Persian, many Jews frm Babyln return t Jerusalem. Temple rebuilding in Jerusalem is cmpleted and dedicated in 516 BC. There is then a silence f Scripture nthing is written fr the 410 years befre Christ cmes. Key peple: Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai 3

8 Making sense f the Bible is an act f lve. Let me illustrate. Recently ur baby by has entered int ur lives and hme where we speak a certain language. He is trying his best t enter int ur cde f cmmunicatin. Slwly but surely he s getting there. Instinctively he knws that the nly way t understand us and get clser t us is t learn ur language. And f curse we re ding all we can t encurage him, because we can t wait fr him t be n the same wavelength as us. Similarly, when we becme a Christian we quickly figure ut that Gd has a certain cde f cmmunicatin, a language if yu wish. It is the Bible, a library f 66 bks that detail the stry f his lving invlvement in the wrld. As hard as it may be, we must d all we can t understand it. It s the nly way t really get nt Gd s wavelength, and t get clser t his heart. Wnderfully, by his Hly Spirit, he prmises t d all he can t encurage us in this quest. - Julie and Terran Williams It is cmmn fr us t give up the reading f the Bible and daily prayer when ur enjyment is gne; as if it were f n use t read the Scriptures when we d nt enjy them, and as if it were n use t pray when we have n spirit f prayer. The truth is that in rder t enjy the Wrd, we ught t cntinue t read it, and the way t btain a spirit f prayer is t cntinue praying. The less we read the Wrd f Gd, the less we desire t read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire t pray. - Gerge Muller 8
