Essential Studies.
Genesis 9 and 10, Nakedness and the sons of Noah
Additional studies: Genesis Index
In the garden, it was the enemy who exposed human nakedness (by setting Eve on the course that would cause them to see it, Gen 3:1-7). It was God who covered it (Gen 3:21). Those who do the works of their father, are of their father (Joh 8:37-47): and here, in the new world, it was Ham who exposed nakedness, and Shem and Japheth who covered it. Thus the curse on Ham’s descendant Canaan, and the blessing on Shem and Japheth.
Psalm 5, Ordered prayer
Additional studies: Psalms Book One (1-41) Index
Isn’t it amazing that when someone orders their prayer in the morning, he then looks up: he waits expectantly for the answer, as a watchman diligently scans the horizon from his watchtower. Prayer, in the Hebraic worldview, carries with it the expectation of the answer; and is never a fruitless exercise.
Matthew 3, Fruit worthy of repentance
Additional studies: Matthew Index
The Hebrew Root Word parable defines repentance: a change borne out by the fruit of the life which aligns with the plumb line of righteousness, that is, God’s way of walking, encoded in Torah.
