BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 5: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

August 28, 2024September 6, 2024 by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 5: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

11) Jesus is the greater/greatest prophet. Moses referred to himself when saying that God would raise up a prophet like him. Moses was close to God and obeyed God. He leads the people out of suffering. Jesus will lead the people from ultimate suffering.

12a) Matthew 16:27: “For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.”

This promises that the Lord will come again and reward us.

Luke 24:44-47:

He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” ⁴⁵Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, ⁴⁷and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

This promises that Jesus died for our sins, and everyone (Jews and Gentiles) will be forgiven for their sins.

John 14:3: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

This promises Jesus’ Second Coming when he comes to take us back to him.

I have every confidence that Jesus will come for us so that we can forever reign with him here on earth in the presence of our Father.

b) This gives me hope that all of my pain and suffering are temporary and one day, I will be with Jesus!

Where Jesus goes, I go! Love it!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 5: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

As we study God’s Word, the hope is that all of us will draw nearer to God, learn more about His magnitude and greatness, and learn more about our Savior, Jesus. Revelation is about Jesus.

I pray for all of you that you show up to this study open-minded and receive what God has for you and that your relationship with Him deepens. Welcome to BSF’s Study of Revelation!

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Days 3 & 4: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

August 27, 2024September 6, 2024 by atozmom, posted in BSF Revelation: The Hope 2024/2025

BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 3 & 4: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

6a) The future alarms people because it is unknown, and many people don’t like the unknown. It points out just how much lack of control they actually have over events that will happen. The future also intrigues many because it is unknown, so it’s full of possibilities that can offer hope.

b) By indulging in psychics, fortune tellers, clairvoyants, diviners, or others who claim to know the future. They may follow false prophets who claim to know the future. They may look for signs that they believe confirm future events. In sum, no one knows the future apart from God, so people may indulge in any method outside of God to know the future.

7a)

Isaiah 45:21: God is the only one who foretold events. There is no one like Him.

Amos 3:7: “Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.”

2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”

Hebrews 11:32-40: This passage gives examples of prophets who believed in God’s word and who were blessed by God in their lives.

1 Peter 1:10-12: The prophets spoke of what was to come, and they did so for our benefit.

b) Biblical prophecy is for us, to strengthen our faith and path in life. I can be confident that what God says will happen, will indeed be. He has predicted the future before, as He will do so now.

8 )

Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7; Luke 1:26-27: This speaks to the prediction of the birth of the Messiah. That Jesus will be the king of peace.

Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-6: That a ruler (Jesus) will come from Bethlehem. That Jesus came from such a humble town with inauspicious beginnings. From small things comes greatness.

Isaiah 53:3-6; Matthew 27:22-26: That Jesus was despised and pierced for our transgressions. He took on our sin for our peace.

9) False prophets look like everyone else, but we can recognize them by their fruit/works they do. They will say and do things that go against the Bible. Deuteronomy 18:21-22 says that a real prophet’s predictions will come true; a false prophet’s predictions don’t come true. Matthew 24:24 says false prophets appear and perform signs to deceive. 2 Peter 2:1 says that false prophets will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. John 4:1 says that the spirits should be tested to see if they are from God.

10) Having fulfilled prophecy in the Bible gives it credibility and helps us to have faith in God’s Word and His teachings. We can go to the Bible and see for ourselves God’s magnificence in all of His ways from fulfilled prophecies.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 3 & 4: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

Great lesson on how we do need to be aware of false prophets and ensure that what others tell us aligns with God’s Word and His character. We must be wary when it comes to those who claim to be of God but we have doubts. Always go to the Lord in prayer and to His word for answers.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 1, Day 3 & 4: Read the Scripture Passages With the Questions

All of prophecy points to Jesus and how he will redeem mankind so that we can be with our Lord forever.

We can trust prophecy because it confirms God’s truthfulness, His promises, His Word, and shows us His character.

We can trust God, always.

Conclusions to Week 2 and the Study of Hosea

When Israel repents, God will restore them. It’s that simple. God’s anger will turn from them.

Questions for Hosea 14

12) Israel is to ask God for forgiveness, realize Assyria cannot save them, and give up their idols. In return, God will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for His anger has turned away from them.

13) Israel will be like the dew to Israel; they will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon, he will send down his roots; his young shoots will grow. His splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. People will dwell again in his shade; they will flourish like the grain, they will blossom like the vine — Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

14) If you are wise and discerning, you will walk in the ways of the Lord, which are righteous and true. Otherwise, you will stumble.

Summer Bible Study: WordGo’s Study of Hosea: Week 2, Day 4: Hosea 8-13

July 25, 2024July 19, 2024 by atozmom, posted in WordGo Hosea

Summary of Hosea 8

Hosea laments Israel’s unfaithfulness, despite God’s persistent compassion and love. Hosea lists the sins of Israel against the Lord, such as making idols and trusting in foreign nations. They offer insincere gifts to the Lord.

Summary of Hosea 9

Hosea announces the punishments against Israel.

Summary of Hosea 10

Despite Israel’s past fruit, their hearts are deceitful and now they must bear their guilt and suffer the consequences.

Summary of Hosea 11

God still loves Israel despite their sins and the fact they turn away from Him.

Summary of Hosea 12

For Israel’s sins, they will be punished.

Summary of Hosea 13

The Lord is angry against Israel for their sins. He has no compassion for them.

Questions for Hosea 8-13

9) Hosea 8:1-5: The people have broken God’s covenant and rebelled against His law. Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will pursue Him. They set up kings without my consent; they chose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold, they make idols for themselves to their destruction. God would offer consequences.

Hosea 10:1-2: As Israel’s fruit increased, they built more altars. The Lord will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones.

Hosea 13:2-3: Israel makes idols and offers human sacrifices. God will make them disappear.

10) When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt, I called my son. I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them, I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them.

11) It humbles me, makes me extremely grateful, fills me with joy and compassion, and helps me get through life’s struggles.

Conclusions to WordGo’s Study of Hosea 8-13

God does not want to hand out punishments to His people. Yet, He must because they stray. He still calls to Israel to return to Him. He yearns to convict us of our sins, so we’ll turn to Him. Will you?

July 20, 2024July 6, 2024 by atozmom, posted in WordGo Hosea

Passage: Hosea 2:20

15) That God is faithful every second of every day of my life, and I need to acknowledge Him more.

16) God expresses His unconditional love for me each and every day, from the moment I wake till the moment I fall asleep. He is there in all my doubts, hardships, and happiness. He is there.

Conclusions to Week 1 of WordGo’s Study of Hosea

Great analogy throughout that we all can relate to. Few things are as hurtful as infidelity, and God uses this to let us know a bit about how hurt He is when we sin. We need to ensure God receives all of the glory in everything we do that is only possible through Him!

Great lesson on being faithful in all things through the strength of God.
