Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psalm 18 in Words and Pictures: A Reading Through Metaphor, Alison Gray engages in an in-depth study of the figurative language of Psalm 18, demonstrating the necessity of a dynamic approach to metaphor interpretation within a given textual unit. As one of the longest and most elaborate in the Hebrew Bible, Psalm 18 provides fertile soil for studying the interplay between words and images. While previous studies of the Psalm have focused on questions of form, structure, or unity - as well the relation to its Doppeltext of 2 Samuel 22 - Alison Gray explores the ways in which a metaphor-oriented hermeneutic enriches the psalm’s translation and exegesis.

This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Israelite authors of the Hebrew Bible were not philosophers, so what they could not say about God in logical terms, they expressed through metaphor and imagery. To present God in His most impenetrable otherness, the image they chose was the desert. The desert was Ancient Israels southern frontier, an unknown region that was always elsewhere: from that elsewhere, God has come -- God came from the South (Hab 3:3); God, when you marched from the desert (Ps 68:8); from his southland mountain slopes (Deut 33:2). Robert Miller explores this imagery, shedding light on what the biblical authors meant by associating God with deserts to the south of Israel and Judah. Biblical authors knew of its climate, flora, and fauna, and understood this magnificent desert landscape as a fascinating place of literary paradox. This divine desert was far from lifeless, its plants and animals were tenacious, bizarre, fierce, even supernatural. The spiritual importance of the desert in a biblical context begins with the physical elements whose impact cognitive science can elucidate. Travellers and naturalists of the past two millennia have experienced this and other wildernesses, and their testimonies provide a window into Israel's experience of the desert. A prime focus is the existential experience encountered. Confronting the desert's enigmatic wildness, its melding of the known and unknown, leads naturally to spiritual experience. The books panoramic view of biblical spirituality of the desert is illustrated by the ways spiritual writers -- from Biblical Times to the Desert Fathers to German Mysticism -- have employed the images therefrom. Revelation and renewal are just two of many themes. Folklore of the Ancient Near East, and indeed elsewhere, that deals with the desert / wilderness archetype has been explored via Jungian psychology, Goethean Science, enunciative linguistics, and Hebrew philology. These philosophies contribute to this exploration of the Hebrew Bible's desert metaphor for God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Name Command (NC) is usually interpreted as a prohibition against speaking Yhwh’s name in a particular context: false oaths, wrongful pronunciation, irreverent worship, magical practices, cursing, false teaching, and the like. However, the NC lacks the contextual specification needed to support the command as speech related. Taking seriously the narrative context at Sinai and the closest lexical parallels, a different picture emerges—one animated by concrete rituals and their associated metaphorical concepts. The unique phrase ns' shm is one of several expressions arising from the conceptual metaphor, election as branding, that finds analogies in high-priest regalia as well as in various ways of claiming ownership in the Ancient Near East, such as inscribed monuments, the use of seals, and the branding of slaves. The NC presupposes that Yhwh has claimed Israel by placing Yhwh’s own name on her. In this light, the first two commands of the Decalogue reinforce the two sides of the covenant declaration: “I will be your God; you will be my people.” The first expresses the demand for exclusive worship and the second calls for proper representation. As a consequence, the NC invites a richer exploration of what it means to be a people in covenant with Yhwh—a people bearing his name among the nations. It also points to what is at stake when Israel carries that name “in vain.” The image of bearing Yhwh’s name offers a rich source for theological and ethical reflection that cannot be conveyed nonmetaphorically without distortion or loss of meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From "Jacob to Israel": Would the least esteemed in the church reflect the Saviour's voice and become Christ as Begotten? (1 Corinthians 6:3-4, John 10:16). Such is the predestination of "Jacob", today: the "day of vengeance" and a time of "Jacob's trouble" (Jer 30:6-7, Isa 29:22-24). As long as Jacob lifts-up Jesus, eventually all will hear His voice (John 12:32). "A Constellation of Findings"! Just before midnight on 7/11/1999, I had a vision after closing a refrigerator door. Doing a 180°, a pearlescent, multitiered fountain flowed with sparking water! Right in the middle of the kitchen! Four-pointed stars popped into view, becoming larger and larger as if coming at me. Truly, hard to describe. My wife didn't believe me. What I realize today is that the enemy confused my mind after being given this beautiful vision. It was part of God's plan that I end up in a Mental Hospital, ultimately divorcing my first wife of ten years and estranged from both daughters since the ages of 5 and 8. "Crushing" can't describe it. A year later, Dr. Amen (no kidding) in Fairfield, Ca wrote in the test results from an MRI that there was a "constellation of findings". His exact words! Praise the Lord! Called and forsaken a small moment and Jacob, as judge should forgive. Lifting Jesus, a Saviour, ransoming many they live. Worn-out in the wilderness heat, still cool-words spoken. Where Satan's able to dine with the idle, tokens. Predestined, the kingdom of heaven is within you. Day of vengeance: it suffereth violence, too. Looking through a glass darkly with his tongue the devil's prey. In a "strong delusion", finishing transgression, Jacob has his say. The "11th hour" worker as 2 become 1. While the church borne the burden and heat of the sun. God's precious "least of these" witnessing two spirits. Jacob, the "two witnesses" would fail or revere it. Jesus comes at last; our blessed hope. Alas! Jacob defines God as he gropes. Light should shine out of darkness. Holy spirit lead should you hearken. With a heart for all taken by the "angel of light". He went from blind to wise, now able to write. Gathering more than he left behind like Abraham. Jacob praises like a lion and loves like the lamb.
