BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 4: Romans 9:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

by atozmom, posted in BSF People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided 2022/2023

SUMMARY OF ROMANS 9:1-5

Paul wishes he were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of his people, the people of Israel for they are the patriarchs.

1 Corinthians 10:1-12

God scattered many of His people, the Israelites, because He was not pleased with them.

We should not be idolaters, commit sexual immorality, not test Christ, or grumble. They serve as warnings for us. Be careful to not fall.

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 4: Romans 9:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

9) We are God’s offspring and live in Him (Acts 17:28). God gives us fellowship and eternal life. Christ purifies us from all sin. (1 John 1:1-7).

10a) They wanted to live their way, not God’s way. They did not fear the Lord. They let evil rule their lives. They sacrificed to idols. God was the one who healed them and led them. God’s anger will be poured out onto them because they have forsaken him and burned incense to other gods.

b) In a similar manner — doing my own thing rather than God’s thing and not giving Him the credit for everything in my life.

11) God’s grace and presence keeps me going when the going gets tough and I don’t understand things in my life. I know He is in charge, not me.

12) His word is so rich and powerful that I think you can’t help worship Him when you read it.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 4: Romans 9:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

Great lessons for having faith in God and His ways.

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 4: Romans 9:1-5 and 1 Corinthians 10:1-12

Romans 9:1-5

Paul is sorrowful over Israel. He wishes he were cursd to bring Israel back to God. This shows the heart of Jesus.

The people were blessed with God Himself, the covenants, the law, and more.

1 Corinthians 10:1-12

Israel was blessed. But they were not grateful. They died waiting to enter the Promised Land.

Therefore, the Corinthians should avoid the Israelites’ bad example. They should not be idolaters, commit sexual immorality, not test Christ, or grumble. They serve as warnings for us. Be careful to not fall.

JEREMIAH 4:22

“My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good.”

6a) To not be like them. Yet, God, in His mercy, still gives them chances to turn to Him and be forgiven.

b) God uses other countries to enact justice on His people. Everything in the world is orchestrated by God’s hand.

c) Their sin was constant; so is mine. I hope I can learn from it and be a bit better day-by-day.

7) It definitely gave me a new perspective and a deeper sense of gratitude for Jesus’s  sacrifice on the cross for me.

8 ) God, I thank you for always pursuing those who don’t pursue you. You never give up on us like we give up on you. You love us too much to do so. Thank you for always pursuing me even when I run from you.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 3: Jeremiah 4:22

Great lesson on how much God loves us and how He never gives up on us. Wonderful!

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 29, Day 3: Jeremiah 4:22

God explained that Judah was foolish. They did not know him. They pretended to be wise, but they were not. They were wise in evil, not good.

joseph's death www.atozmomm.com

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Summary of Genesis 50:22-26:

Joseph died at age 110 and lived to see the third generation of Ephraim’s children. Joseph told his brothers that God will come to take them to the Promise Land. He made them swear to carry his bones out of Egypt and take him with them. He was embalmed in Egypt.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

16) God will come to take them to the Promise Land.

17) Joseph never doubted God and His promises. He knew the Israelites would be taken back to the Promised Land when the time was right.

18) Both died in faith surrounded by their family. It was a long journey, but God and His ways brought them both to Him. They were both honored and embalmed, and both will be buried in the Promise Land.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

Great ending to a life well lived.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 5: Genesis 50:22-26

Joseph was led and blessed by God his entire life. He was 56 when Jacob died, and none of the details of Joseph’s live is recorded in scripture. We can presume that Joseph continued to lead the people of Egypt and his family. He lived 93 of his 110 years in Egypt. He was foreigner most of his life, but he was faithful to God throughout, and was rewarded for it.

It is said that Joseph was never buried in Egypt. His bones/coffin stood as a testament to the Israelites of the future of the Promise Land. Joseph would be taken out of Egypt by Moses to the Promise Land for burial in 400 years time. (Exodus 13:19)

Some promises of God take a long time to fulfill. The book of Genesis concludes with Joseph’s death — a death that looks forward to the future.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 3: Genesis 49:29-50:14

by atozmom, posted in BSF Genesis 2020/2021

Summary of Genesis 49:29-50:14:

Jacob gave each son the appropriate blessing. He requests to be buried in the same tomb as Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, and Leah.  Then he died.

Joseph threw himself upon his father and wept. He was embalmed and mourned over for 70 days. Joseph asked Pharaoh for permission to bury his father in Canaan, which Pharaoh granted. So Joseph, all of Pharaoh’s officials, all the members of Joseph’s family, chariots, and horsemen journeyed to Canaan to bury Jacob. At Atad near the Jordan River, Joseph stopped and mourned 7 days for Jacob. Jacob was buried, and all returned to Egypt.

BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 3: Genesis 49:29-50:14

8 ) Because God had promised him the land.

9) He is faithful.

10) They abided by his wishes and got special permission to take his body back. They all went to Canaan (a long journey) to bury him, as did the dignitaries of Egypt.

11) Pharaoh gave Joseph permission to take his body back to be buried. The Egyptian officials accompanied Joseph and mourned. Chariots and horses were taken. The Canaanites knew it was a solemn cermony.

12a) If you believe in Jesus, you will have eternal life. If you do not believe, you will die in your sins. All those in Christ will live again. Man will die once and then face judgement and Christ will appear a second time and bring salvation to all.

b) I really don’t think about my death all that much.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 3: Genesis 49:29-50:14

I love the ceremony for Jacob. It is fitting. Wish the Bible did say more about death.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Genesis: Lesson 29, Day 3: Genesis 49:29-50:14

Jacob knew he would see Isaac and Abraham in heaven. He also wanted his eternal resting place for his body on earth to be in the Promised Land, although he could have been buried with riches and in a pyramid for all we know.

Jacob is repeated his death wishes to the rest of the brothers; he already told Joseph (Genesis 47:29-31)

This ends the life of the last patriarch: Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Those who believe in Christ defy death.

The mourning of Jacob in Egypt shows how great he was. 70 days was almost a royal mourning.

It’s interesting that Jospeh did not make his request directly to Pharaoh in the beginning even though he was 2nd in command. This shows the proof of the truth of the Bible.

This burial must have been grand, indeed, and the fact that Jacob was embalmed. Only the wealthy were embalmed in ancient Egypt. This is rare in Scripture to see this detail of a burial (outside of Jesus) recorded.

Remember that Abraham purchased this cave (Genesis 23:9), which was the only part of the Promised Land he actually owned (Genesis 23:17). Sarah  (Genesis 23:19), Abraham (Genesis 25:9), Isaac, Rebekah, Leah, (Genesis 49:31) and now Jacob are buried here.
