PART 5
reports The biblical book of Genesis of the creation of the world and from the common ancestor of the Israelites. One of them is Abraham, who according to tradition at the same progenitor of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions is. From him we learn as we please God best.
SHOCK THE GIANTS
who want to train in his memory and has no interest, "Dr. Kawasaki's Brain Training to buy (or whatever that means) that one should try to learn the following five Bible verses by heart.
Have fun!
"1 It happened at the time of King Amraphel of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedor Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of the Gentiles,
2 that they got with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsa, king of Gomorrah, and Shinab king of Adama, and Semeber, king of the Maccabees, and with the King means of Bela, the Zoar.
3 This all came together in the valley Siddim, where is the salt sea.
4 because they had been twelve years the king Chedor Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
5 why did Chedor Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him in the fourteenth year and beat the Giants in Ashtaroth-Karnaim and Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in the field Kirjathaim "
(Genesis 14:1-5)
So, next week we write about a test ...
Many kings with strange names and always meet in joint activities, such as the slaughter of giants. Exactly giant.
I ask not to come out suddenly ...
Before the Flood there were schonmal giants (Genesis 6:4 ), but are all killed in the flood (Genesis 7:23 ). This is so for other giants, who are for the story but not important.
Okay, you can now the first five verses by heart? Here are five:
"6 and Horites in mount Seir, to El-Paran, which hit the desert.
7 Then they turned around and came to the Born mishpat , which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, to the Amorites, who lived in Hazazontamar.
8 there went out the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Adama, the king of the Maccabees, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar, and were preparing to battle in the valley Siddim
9 with Chedor Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of the Gentiles, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar: four kings with five.
10 Valley Siddim had much Erdharzgruben, and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and fell into it, and what remained fled to the mountains "
. (Genesis 14:6-10)
If you you all have noticed, you can now forget about it.
Tut namely, not much for the thing.
important that these kings, as well as ever they are called, like Abram's nephew, Lot, kidnap.
"11 Since they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all the food and went their way.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's brother's son, and his possessions for he dwelt in Sodom, and departed. "
(Genesis 14:11-12)
Now it gets really exciting! (Not that it had not been exciting with the kings of chaos and Ramadamadingdong and so on ...)
BATTLE ROYAL
by another prisoner, can escape, Abram learns of the abduction.
Then Abram gathered his small private army and moves toward Sodom to rescue Lot, the choice is his nephew (for example, in Genesis 11:31 and 14:12) or his brother (Genesis 13:8 and 13:11 for example) .
"13 Then came one who had escaped and told Abram the foreigners
14 when Abram heard that his brother trapped was, he steeled his servants, three hundred and eighteen, born in his house, and drove them as far as Dan "
(Genesis 14:13)
The Kings have Lot most likely captured alive in order to extort ransom. Abram is a very rich man, but now could actually even try to end the affair without bloodshed. But that's not his style.
"15 and divided, they fell on the night with his servants and beat them and chased them unto Hoba, which lies to the left of Damascus,
16 and brought all have again, to Lot, his brother, with his possessions, even the women and the people. "
(Genesis 14:15-16)
The nocturnal guerrilla attacks of the heroic Abram was a total success. Have you had the stolen again! Hurrah!
(And Lot, the women and the other stuff.)
SALEM BREAD
Such a battle can be pretty stressed out. Fortunately meet Abram and notes the king Melchizedek, what booze to it. returned
"17 And when he of the Battle of Chedor Chedorlaomer and the kings with him, he went to meet the King of Sodom in the field, the King's Valley.
18 But Melchizedek, the king of Salem was wearing, bread and wine out. And he was a priest of God the Most High . "
(Genesis 14:17-18)
Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High (not to be confused with God the lowest), speaks to Abram
" 19 And blessed him and said, Blessed art thou, Abram, the highest God? "(Genesis 14:19 a)
What exactly now
" heaven and earth has created, "(Genesis 14:19 b )
Oh, the!
"20 and praise be to God the Most High, who has decided your enemies into your hand." (Genesis 14:20 a)
Abram is very grateful for the wine and the beatification and it gives Melchizedek a tenth of his possessions.
"And the same Abram gave a tithe of everything." (Genesis 14:20 b)
ABRAM HAS WHAT IN THE FACE
"went one after these things to it, that Abram to the word of the LORD came in the face"
(Genesis 15:1 a)
"and said," Fear not Abram, I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward "
(Genesis 15:1 b)
God speaks not for the first or the last time with Abram. As Lord speaks of the fine not everyone can be proud of Abram to be something very special. In addition, he has already given so god damn country and its enemies. But Abram can not get enough.
"2 Abram said, Lord, Lord, what do you want me ? Give "(Genesis 15:2 a)
SINCE MAY YES EVERYONE COME
Abram finds it terrible that he was not his wealth can pass on to a son. It has got none. The idea that any running up servants' his stuff gets when he is dead and all that stuff so not really needed, can bear heavy Abram
"I am going without children;. and this Eliezer of Damascus will own my house.
3 And Abram said. Me thou hast given no seed: and, behold, one will be my legacy from my household "
(Genesis 15:2 b-3)
That a servant Abrams after decades of servitude could inherit the wealth that God gave to Abram: That is not gonna work well!
Abram complains quite rightly the Lord. It looks then this also.
"4 And, behold, the Lord spoke to him. He shall not be thine heir; but that will come from your body, which will be your legacy
5 And He bade him go and said: See heaven and count the stars , you can count them and said to him: So shall be thy seed "
. (Genesis 15:4-5)
Abram said to have as many offspring as he sees stars in the sky. They are under a clear sky and good eyesight 2000-6000 Allegedly in number
is the entire Jewish people away from him: Right now about 14 million people, or at least 2000 times more than there are stars, you see with the naked eye can. These are all Jews who lived between Abram and our generation.
understanding God's number is more than disastrous, his star comparison is not even the best intentions. Not even in such and when you turning a blind both eyes. The Lord has probably not been paying attention in school. But
mans can do so with Abram. Who believes his God, to doubt, or rather laugh at him.
"6 Abram believed the LORD, and he counted it to him for righteousness
7 And he said to him. I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans has executed that I have to give you this land. "
(Genesis 15:6-7)
The Lord course, would not become such a powerful god, he would give away everything for nothing.
The currency with which one is paid to the Lord shed blood.
"8 Abram said, Lord, Lord, how shall I notice that I shall inherit it
9 And he said to him: Bring me a three year old cow and a three-year-old goat . and a three year old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon
10 And he brought him all these things, and divided them from each other in the middle and laid over a portion of the other: "
(Genesis 15:8 - 10)
SOMETHING IS ALWAYS
" 11 And the birds of prey fell to the Aase;. Abram drove them away
12 As the sun was sinking now, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold , horror and great darkness fell upon him. "
(Genesis 15:11-12)
Some animals kill and scare away birds, only to possess the land: That sounds too good to be true. And indeed, there is a catch in the matter.
"13 He said to Abram: You should know that your descendants will be strangers in a land that
is not his, and since you will force them to serve and afflict them four hundred years.
14 But will I judge the people, must serve. Then they come out with great substance. "
(Genesis 15:13-14)
The Lord knows, then, that Abrams will suffer descendants 400 years.
prevent this and instead of his chosen people and great suffering spare the other the punishment, he waits and lets it happen.
Maybe he do in the next four hundred years too much, he Finally a busy God. Although limited its application to a fairly small part of the world.
"17 When the sun went down and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace and a flame of fire passed between the pieces.
18 On the day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river Euphrates:
19 the Kenites, the Kenizzite, the Kadmonites,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the giants
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashite, the Jebusites. "
(Genesis 15:17-21)
In the enumeration of the peoples of the giants such as self-evident only in passing erwähnt.Sie are already the second race of giants (the first died in the flood) whose history is not further explained. A huge discrimination!
HASTE MAL NE MAGD?
Sarai, Abram's wife and sister, is unfortunately sterile. To her husband, but to give children, she has a clever idea. Why not simply because the foreign maid pregnant? .
"1 Sarai, Abram's wife bore him a child she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar
2 And she said to Abram. Behold, the LORD hath restrained me that I can not give birth . Go to my maid, but if I should perhaps build out of it myself. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. "
(Genesis 16:1-2)
gehocht Abram, as always. Only this time, exceptionally, his wife and his Lord.
It would indeed be a fool if he did not. Finally, he not only has the long-awaited coming in view, but also sex with the maid.
In today's age you would compensate a potential surrogate mother financially, involvement in planning and maybe even ask whether she agrees.
was used to life even easier.
"3 Since took Sarai, Abram's wife, her Egyptian maid, Hagar, and gave to Abram, her husband, a wife after ten years in the land of Canaan had lived. "
(Genesis 16:3)
But Hagar, the Egyptian maid, to the over-80s "given" of Sarai Abram as a wife was, is it not even grateful, this lousy piece!
"4 And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she was pregnant, she respected their women low against him. "
(Genesis 16:4)
What is actually allowed? How it the surely not!
"5 And Sarai said to Abram," You do wrong to me I've given you my maid into the arms, but now she sees that she has become pregnant, I have to be despised in her. .. eye was The Lord judge between me and thee
6 Abram said unto Sarai, Behold , thy maid is in thy power; do with it as it pleased thee. "
(Genesis 16:5-6)
Hagar learns that her mistress will humiliate them and tries to escape. This may God of course, do not permit and sends an angel to her back.
"7 but found the angel of the LORD at a water fountain in the desert, namely the well on the way Shur.
8 He said to her Hagar, Sarai's maid, where are you from, and where are you going, you said?. I fled from my wife Sarai
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to your wife, and submit thyself under her hands. "
(Genesis 15:7-9)
It does finally have everything in order! But not that God does not care Hagar's misery ...
"11 And the angel of the Lord unto her, Behold, you have become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and you shall name called Ismael, therefore that the Lord has heard your misery."
(Genesis 16:11)
The Lord has answered so their misery. As compensation, he gives her for a particularly unsympathetic asshole unaustehliches and child.
"12 He will be a wild man: his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and will live with all his brothers."
(Genesis 16:12)
main cause of good Abram his son. Blessed be the Lord.
15 And Hagar bore a son: and Abram called his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
(Genesis 16:15-16)
FORMERLY THE ABRAHAM KNOWN AS ABRAM
You would think when you meet God in person, you feel this instinctively and immediately to the deepest fiber of being, and know immediately who is standing there before you.
Especially if you have already spoken several times with him. God must not be imagined.
He is a very polite, Lord, he makes it anyway.
"1 was old when Abram ninety-nine years, the Lord appeared to him and said to him: I am God Almighty, walk before me and be pious
2 . And I make my covenant between me and thee and I will make up even more highly.
3 Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, saying
4 See, it's me and I my covenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
(Genesis 17:1-2)
The Lord had the same covenant with Abram actually been done years ago and promised him even very many descendants (Genesis 15:5 , 15:18 ). God has probably forgotten that he, the good old Abram ever told had. But this time he says it also do not Abram, but Abraham.
"5 why does not mean you have more Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham ; because I have made you the father of many nations
6 and want you very much make fruitful and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come from you.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations that it is an everlasting covenant is, so that I am thy God and thy seed after thee,
8 and I want you and your descendants after you enter the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and will be their God. "
(Genesis 17:5-7)
the Lord for the first time expressed a desire to continually be the God of the Israelites. Too bad he does not want to be my God. Then just do not!
Where Perhaps this is also quite good. For the Lord never does anything for nothing. For the eternal covenant with Abraham and his descendants, the Israelites, he demands a piece of their best pieces ...
schni, Schnabel- , Schnappi
"9 And God said to Abraham: So now keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations
10 But this is my covenant, whom ye. you shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: All male among you shall be circumcised
11 but you shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh This is a sign.. of a covenant between me and you.
12 To every little boy, when it's eight days old is, you shall prune your generations. to be
13 Cut all household, the home you is born or bought. And so shall my covenant be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. "
(Genesis 17:9-13)
Who wants to please God diminishes, so his family and the people you bought way it is.
But men perform the good deeds, help others and try, to make the most of their lives ... The fallen god but surely, even if they are not circumcised, or
is the answer?. No, your souls be eradicated.
"14 And where a man is not circumcised image on the foreskin of his flesh, that soul shall be cut off from his people, so that it has failed to make my covenant."
(Genesis 17:14)
Why exactly is God at all interested in the look of penises not able to tell.
JESTER
"15 And God said again unto Abraham, Thou shalt not mean your wife Sarai Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name
16 . For I will bless her, and also of her I will give thee a son, and I will bless them and their peoples are to be made over many nations and kings "
(Genesis 17:15-16) We
. remember. Abraham fathered his first son Ishmael at the age of 85 years (Genesis 16:16)
The idea that he at the age of 99 but once again should be a father, Abraham finds, however absurd why he laughs so hard from God. . that he falls on his face
"17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed , and said in his heart, set me, a hundred years old, born a child be, and Sarah, ninety years old bring forth? "
(Genesis 17:17)
wit ...
YOU TAKE AN EXAMPLE
Abram is clearly God's new darling. Although we have so want to be religious, we should take all Abrams acts as a model and try to lead such an exemplary life as he
Let us time together. Abram ...
- is married to his sister
- is extremely wary about other nationalities
- lying to the Pharaoh
- his enemies to fall asleep at night when they
- is separated from his dear brother / nephew than his
possession - makes demands of God
- can not bear the idea that someone other than his son will inherit his property.
- impregnated his maid
- does not mind that his first wife (and sister), his other woman (and mother of his son) and humiliates
- laughing at God.
