Tuesday 18 August, 2015 and waiting for the sound of the Trumpet. Hope you have thanked the LORD for your blessings and shared your adoration of Him who is to be exalted. I've attached 

Lesson # 32 for the One Year Bible Class that is to be conducted at VBC on 23 August, 2015.

These are the comments for you to consider AFTER you have read the scriptures for each day so as to provoke you to consider God and His attributes, traits and learn of His promises and their conditions.

Review the events of Esther and that of the rebuilding the Temple by Ezra and that of completing the wall in Jerusalem by Nehemiah.  Note the similar events in Nehemiah and these covered by Esther that is happening at Shushan the palace in view of Proverbs 21:1.   Recall the Kings involved were Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes and Artaxerxes and the post exile prophets were Haggai, Zechariah and Joel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Mon-17-Nehemiah 12:27-13:31,1^st Corinthians 11:3-16, Psalm 35:1-16 & Proverbs 21:17-18. How did the LORD equip Nehemiah to organize the work? What did the enemy take out of the Temple while Nehemiah was away and how did the Lord have the temple cleaned? Can you apply this repair technique in your life today?
Tue-18-Esther 1:1-3:15, 1^st Corinthians 11:17-34, Psalm 35:17-28 & Proverbs 21:19-20. Did you connect the events in Ester with those of Psalm 35:17?

Wed-19-Esther 4:1-7:10, 1^st Corinthians 12:1-26, Psalm 36:1-12 & Proverbs 21:21-22. After reading Esther today what life style changes did you make? What did you learn about how to respond to anger? Is there advice for you in Proverbs?

Thu-20-Esther 8:1-10:3, 1^st Corinthians 12:27-13:13, Psalm 37:1-11 & Proverbs 21:23-24. How do you answer the question “What is good about good news if it gets there too late?” What attributes did the LORD demonstrate in Esther? What similarity did you note today in the letter to the Corinthians and Esther?

The five “Poetical Books” of our Bible are Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and The Song of Solomon. Some say these Books are poems, songs, and dialogues reflecting the meditations and questions of the heart and minds that cause the readers to make wise observations and interpretations of everyday life. We read Job to know God better through adversity; extracted in part from Jensen’s Survey of the Old Testament.

When you read Job pay attention to who is speaking and identify if it is God, Satan, Job and or his friends. Consider that Job’s three friends named Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar watched and waited days before speaking to Job.

Fri-21-Job 1:1-3:26, 1^st Corinthians 14:1-17, Psalm 37:1:29 & Proverbs 21:25-26. Be careful to follow the conversation pattern and the subject matter. What qualities did the LORD ascribe to Job? How is God’s Omnipotence demonstrated today? After seeing the events of Job’s life and hearing his complaint, what would you say to Job that you have learned from Psalm 37 & 73?    Spend additional time today and re-read all 40 verses of Psalm 37.

Sat-22-Job 4:1-7:21, 1^st Corinthians 14:18-40, Psalm 37:30-40 & Proverbs 21:27. How did Job’s friends encourage him?  After reading “all” 40 verses of Palm 37 fast forward to Palm 73 and find the connections that will equip you to deal with daily conflict. Does Corinthians 14:33 & 40 assure you of God’s Omniscience and Omnipresence?

Sun-23-Job 8:1-11:20, 1^st Corinthians 15:1-28, Psalm 38:1-22 & Proverbs 21:28-29. After reading Proverbs 21:28-29 what light does this offer you into understanding Job’s situation? What provisions for salvation (from adverse conditions) are given to all men in Psalm 38 that could have been expressed to Job by his friends? How is God’s Goodness and Greatness spoken of by Job and his friends? Note the impact of focusing on the things of God and not that of seeing Him. Have you used 1^st Corinthians 15 when giving your testimony?
