Nurit stieg auf den Hügelkamm und drehte sich nach Sodom zu. In ihren tränenvollen Augen spiegelten sich die Flammen der brennenden Stadt. Die Mauern brachen ein, wie eine Flutwolke raste eine Aschewolke auf sie zu. Nurit schloss die Augen und breitete die Arme aus. Dann wurde sie von Schwärze überschwemmt.

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus's own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery, masters could beat their slaves, creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt, and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

This two-volume work is not written to persuade Jews to convert to Christianity. It is written to persuade Christians of the inevitability and desirability of that conversion. It is written to persuade Catholics to pray properly for it. If we do, then in God’s time the conversion will happen, followed soon after by the awesome return of our lord Jesus Christ on clouds of glory. If we do not pray properly for the conversion of the Jews then we will have hell on earth until we do.

Beginning with these deep sleeps experienced by Adam, Noah, and Abraham, this book finds more than a dozen instances of sleep featured in the Old Testament, which each foreshadow the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Charlé con una persona sin hogar en el semáforo en rojo y le dije que eran una bendición por recordarnos el quebrantamiento del mundo, en medio de la abundancia. Me dijo que el Mesías estaba a la vuelta de la esquina viniendo a arreglar las cosas. Pero ¿es el Mesías una persona, M mayúscula? O ¿es el mesías un texto, m minúscula? Si es un mesías texto, entonces no hay necesidad de esperar, ya que siempre ha estado ahí, escondido a plena vista, anhelando ser notado. Si es Mesías persona, entonces tendremos que esperar.

The book of Exodus is the second book of the Bible, found in the Old Testament. It tells how God rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt through Moses, his chosen prophet. The book records some of the most famous stories of the Bible such as Moses and the burning bush, the 10 plagues on Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the giving of the Ten Commandments.

Wir wurden von Gott gesandt. Wir sollen hingehen zu Sodom und Gomorrha und mit eigenen Augen sehen, ob es wahr ist, was über die Städte gesagt wird. Ob sie es wirklich so schändlich treiben.

In 970 BC, Solomon ben David ascended his father's throne. During his reign, Israel became the envy of the nations. Unsurpassed in riches, power, and prestige, Solomon embodied the pinnacle of God's blessing on his people. In 586 BC, Israel's capital collapsed before Nebuchadnezzar, and the nation was exiled in disgrace far away to Babylon. This is the story of how to lose a kingdom in 400 years.

It's almost second nature for Christians to call God Father. Jesus taught his followers as much, although for them it was apparently a surprising practice. The worshiping community of the Old Testament used fatherly images for understanding God's character and actions, but "Father" was not a common way for believers to address God. In Knowing God the Father Through the Old Testament, Christopher Wright explores in depth the images that pervade the biblical narratives, psalms, and prophetic texts of the Old Testament.

We tend to think of the Holy Spirit as the straggler of the Trinity, a latecomer in God's interaction with the world. But our first introduction to the Holy Spirit is not the drama of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament.

Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He's a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus.

Noah. Eine Sintflut wird kommen. Eine Flut, wie es sie noch nie gegeben hat. Sie wird alles mit sich reißen, worin der Atem des Lebens ist unter diesem Himmel. Alles, was auf Erden ist, soll untergehen.

Crushing Satan's head investigates 12 stories from the Old Testament which each point to the ultimate victory of the Mother of God, revealing that God’s plan has always been the triumph of her Immaculate Heart. The layered accounts contain essential information for us to play our part in this victory of good over evil—for as it has pleased God to give heavenly glory to His Mother, so He offers to give it to us, too.

The violence in the Old Testament is one of the biggest obstacles facing Christianity today. Believers regularly identify it as one of the most confounding and challenging aspects of the entire Bible.

This timely audiobook reveals how the Temple Mount will soon take center stage when the antichrist ushers in the time Jesus described as great tribulation. Jesus provides a way of escape for those believers who are ready. The purpose of this book is to help you prepare to escape a time that Jesus said would be like no other time in all of human history.

Warum fürchtest du dich, Abram? Ist es kein Trost, dass man nicht vollkommen sein muss, um vom Herrn erwählt zu werden?

Nachdem Jesus den ganzen Tag bis in die Nacht hinein geheilt hatte, wollte er sich in die Stille und Einsamkeit der Wüste zurückziehen, um zu seinem Vater zu beten. Doch die ersehnte Ruhe blieb ihm verwehrt. Eine Gestalt nach der anderen löste sich aus den Schatten der Felsen, als wäre sie unmittelbar aus der Dunkelheit geboren.

Jesus zählte die Stunden nicht. Auch sah er nicht zurück, um zu überblicken, wie weit er bereits gekommen war. Beide Hände auf der Brust betete er zu seinem Vater, während seine Füße wie von alleine durch den Wüstensand gingen. Die Sonne zog über ihm ihren Bogen, ließ seinen Schatten von einer Seite zur anderen wandern. Doch noch ein weiterer Schatten kam hinzu. Der dunkelste von allen.

Vom ersten Tag an wollte Jaika die Wolken erreichen. Sie hatte sie sich weiß vorgestellt. Unendlich weich und strahlend. Jetzt war Jaika in den Wolken. Doch es war ganz anders als in ihrer Vorstellung. Graue Massen belagerten sie zu allen Seiten, die brummten und zischten wie hungrige Bestien.
