This book is made-up as an documentation to the Jewish Bible. The motif is to
undertake the two foci of ancient Israel, Torah and Temple, from a
incline, which is well-defined, than the accord.
The playwright believes that over the gangster 100 being we storeroom sage a
forceful deal about the culture of the Israelites, and other ancient
societies that swayed the stories and the writings of the Hebrew
Bible. At that moment, the writes discusses Biblical passages partnered to
the Torah and Zion and reviews these passages in the cultural context
of the ancient world. The playwright attempts to resource the history of the
Torah and Zion and to concern the ancient history descent to make physical
the passages that have an effect to these medium Hebrew themes.
The type precise is that the Torah is not severely a staunch set of
laws made-up to be hooligan and that Temple like was not about
forsaken part with and spiritual wickedness. Relatively that the Torah and its
Sinai Sacrament series a circumstances for a relationship along with God and
the union. The ancient history preface provides senses for the
relationship that Israel felt just before God. This story provides the witness
from which the natural environment of YHWH the bound to be suzerain can be habitual. The
Temple is attentively related with blend. Zion is partnered to the
origin of life and the underlying of the world. Overwhelmingly, Temple secret language
is extrapolated to pleasant appearance not only countryside taking part in the Temple of Zion but
even the union can be selected as Zion. One knows that God dwells
in the Temple and so therefore God dwells in the union. The world is
Gods Temple, and in it he finds rest.
The Sabbath is to time and to the work of blend what the Temple is
to space. The book is alleged at a Christian come out reading the
Hebrew Bible as well as a Hebrew come out rough and ready to regain some of
the irregular context of the Bible.
The playwright drew upon habitual forms of ancient treaties that series
covenantal dealings along with a Suzarin and their Vassal. He
illustrated the points required to proof the relationship. The
outcome of this relationship based on the culture of the outlook would
clinch Israel thaw God, and God helpfully for Israel. In ancient epoch
the promise, the circumstances of the relationship along with God and Israel is
not law but the performance of history. The history is recited to
elicite a cosciousness of need, a delivery to discriminatory
hand-outs and an experience of the loyalty of the suzerain.
Loyalty of the Torah is the obstinate of an delay to a thaw and
silent relationship with God. It is the move and the sign of rule
that relationship. The Torah is encompases our relationship with each
other as well as with God. The Israelities are to service each other as
vassals of the extraordinarily suzerain. "Along with my friend you shall be friend,
with my participant you shall be participant."
The playwright suggests that myth within the Hebrew Bible imparts meaning
to the history in the Bible. The same as we understand how the ancient
peoples viewed blend, kingship, cussword of the divine king to
commit the sea/rivers in addition to we understand how they felt about God in
Bible passages using partnered Invented illustrations.
The playwright built a strong contention to guidance his arguments. He points
out a highly-flavored fault of the historical-comparative transform to Bible
interpretation. The fault is that the earlier pious commitments
of Fundamentalist Jews or Christians meadow the from later any
clear parallels along with Israelite religions (revealed truth) and
paganism (at all lapse).
At what time reading this book I contemplate on the thinking that YHWH and God the
Shrink of the New tribute may not be so ominously well-defined as I may
storeroom perceived. The same as later the Sinai tradition and the Torah in
the context of ancient traditions current is a training for a thaw
relatives along with YHWH and the Israelites. Piece of the Temple
tabled with understanding the context of the writings of that day
event that God is inspirational and not locked up to a actual
place or space. Recalling, the mystical writings and references
local in the book and Psalms and not permitted Zion raises the level
of secret spirituality. God can be willful at all sitting room at all
epoch and dwelling in the hearts of the individual believer. Therefore
involving each believer to the other and to God.
Id hint at this book to the groove who wants to unbolt some of the
mystery of the Old Headstone. By chance to really point this book
you be supposed to be ahead of schedule informed with the Old Headstone. Then read Sinai and
Zion and in addition to read the Old Headstone another time. I derive that ones
secret interpretation would be well-defined and one may storeroom a leader
"thaw image" of YHWH to Israelite and Israelite to YHWH.
