 Addendum to lesson # 44

FACT: What God did for Saul of Tarsus He has done for every believer.  Saul sold out unto his SAVIOUR.  How is the stewardship of your talents?                  Paul was imprisoned A.D.58-62. He penned the four prison epistles and was released 62-66. He visited some churches and then pens 1Timothy and Titus. He was imprisoned again in 67 and wrote his farewell in 2Timothy emphasizing endurance and separation in the Ministry (4:2).
Titus, a gentile convert, travelled with Paul and Barnabas and served at Corinth, Crete and Dalmatia. In his ministry he was to makes much of Adorning the Doctrine of God (3:8). By reading we learn how to be and see an orderly Church (1:5); How to recognize a sound Church (2:1) and how to be in and a part of a practicing Church (3:1).

Philemon, Concerning a Runaway Slave, page 645 Halley's Bible Handbook; "The Object of the letter was to intercede with Philemon to forgive the runaway slave, and receive him as a Christian brother, Paul himself offering to repay the stolen money.  The Letter is a perfect gem for its Courtesy, Tact, Delicacy and Generosity, climaxing with its tender appeal to Philemon to receive Onesimus "as you would receive me"(17).
Hebrews, notes taken from What the Bible is all About, The Living Bible Edition, by Henrietta C. Mears; Chapter 46, page 505; Understanding Hebrews; Hebrews portrays Jesus Christ, Our Intercessor at The Throne "The author of the letter to the Hebrews is unknown.Many speculate, but there is no certainty. Hebrews is attributed to Paul, and although many question his authorship, there is abundance of evidence in his favor.  The book has been called the fifth Gospel. The four describe Christ's ministry on earth; this one describes his ministry in heaven at God's right hand.  The glories or our Saviour are exhibited in this letter. Our eye is fixed on Jesus, our leader and instructor (12:2). He is set before us crowned now by God with glory and honor (2:9). This book was written, first of all, to Jewish Christians, probably of Jerusalem, who were wavering in their faith. Because of the taunts and jeers of their persecutors, the Jewish Christians were beginning to think they had lost everything--by accepting Christianity. The writer proved that they had only lost the shadow to be given the substance (Jesus Christ). They were undervaluing their privileges in Christ and engaging in self-pity and discouragement  and they were in danger of even giving up their faith (5:11)
                Copied from Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament; Lamentations: Mourning over Affliction. Chapter 22, page 351, “The fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. is the historical event common to the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations.  Jeremiah prophesies and anticipates the fall, and lamentations looks back at the holocaust utter distress."  Book of Jeremiah/Warning>Fall of Jerusalem 586 B.C. "Knowing from his prophecies how Jeremiah wept over his people before judgment fell, it is not difficult for us to imagine the depths to which his soul sank in utter grief as he watched the holy city burning and his people being ravished.  Lamentations reveals something of the pathos of that experience."
                Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament at page 362, a part of chapter 23 Ezekiel: The Glory of the Lord.  D. in Exile “When Ezekiel was about eighteen years old (605 B.C.), the Babylonians (also known as Chaldeans) made their first invasion into Judea, carrying away some captives, among whom was Daniel (see Map). Eight years later (597B.C.) they came again, and this time Ezekiel was among the captives, which comprised the upper classes of Judah.  Read 2Kings 24:10-17 for the historical record of this (cf, Ezekiel 12; 33:21).  Some of the exiles were incarcerated; others were made slaves; many were allowed to settle down in their own homes in various settlements of exiles ( cf, Jer 29:1-7); Ezra 2:59; Neh 7:61).  It was divine providence that Ezekiel was among those granted such liberties.  His home was in Tel-abib(Ezek 3:15), a principal colony of exiles near the fabulous city of Babylon.  Tel-abib was located by the canal Chebar ("Grand Canal") which flowed from the Euphrates fork above Babylon through Nippur, winding back into the Euphrates near Erech.2 (CF !:1,3; Psalm 137:1). Ezekiel's home was a meeting place where the Jewish elders often came to consult with him (8:1,14:1;20:1). It may be that his home was open to any of the exiles who wanted spiritual help."
