One of the most important people in 1603 is the King James 1, who was the first Stuart King of England. He was a determined, supporter of “royal absolutism” (Mathew). He had numerous of issues against Charles 1. He did not have any siblings; he was the only son of Mary (the Queen of Scots). Unfortunately, there was an explosion from his house after James was born. During July 24, 1567 he became the King of Scotland while Mary left him. Therefore, he was known as “an old and experienced king” (Mathew). But he was unfortunate for Stuart King position before it was 1603 (Mathew). The second most important people, was Elizabeth I; she was the Queen of England from 1558-1603 and did not input any power to Renaissance, which they dreamed of. Later

Before King James I became king of England he was James IV of Scotland. King James I was the only relative that could have taken the thorn after Queen Elizabeth I. King James I is known as one of the most intelligent kings to have ever ruled England. King James I was crowned King on July 29, 1567, but he was only born 13 months when he was crowned. Twenty years after being crowned king, King James I held a conference and it was there that the decision to make an “authorized” English translation of the Bible.

      No matter what the adversity may be, God wants you to know that He is sufficient, that He is enough, and that He can handle it if we allow Him too. Many times as Christians, we ask God to handle a problem or situation for us, but yet we don't allow Him to fully have control of that situation. All He is wanting us to acknowledge is that He

Thesis Statement- Christians Jews regarded Jesus and Moses as faithful servants who were their savior. However, this paper will demonstrate Jesus’ superiority as the faithful Son of God over God’s house and Moses as God’s faithful servant in God’s House.

The Israelites now arrived at the plains of Jericho after crossing the Jordan River. They observed the Passover on the fourteenth day of that month, eating of the produce of the land on the day after that. From then on, God stopped sending manna down from the sky because the Israelites could now eat on their own. The people of Jericho were afraid of the Israelites. The walls of Jericho were securely closed up, which now kept the Israelites from moving on to the Promised Land. Because there could be nothing to keep them from God’s promise, God commanded Joshua to take Israel and destroy the walls of

1. Jesus Christ is the Son of God - Jesus Christ is the Son of God refers to His deity. Jesus is fully God. Jesus is the second member of the Trinity and He is God in the flesh. There are several passages that point to this truth. Scripture such as Romans 9:5, Hebrews 1:8, Titus 2:13, and 2 Peter 1:1 all refer to Jesus as both God and Savior. The section of Scripture that most clearly points to Jesus as God is John 1:1-18.

Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah and a descendant from a royal lineage of king David (Acts 13:22-23; Genesis 49:8-12; Zechariah 2:12; Revelation 5:5; 22:16). Jesus came as a lamb to the earth, went to the cross of Calvary and prevailed as a lion (John 1:29; Revelation 5:5-6; Colossians 2:14-15). He is the son of the Highest, a king whose kingdom and greatness had no end, the only one who is equal with God, and the ruler of the universe (Luke 1:30-33; Philippians 2:5-7; Colossians 1:14-20). He is the king of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the God of all gods through whom all the kings, princes, nobles and judges of the earth reigns (Deuteronomy 10:17; Proverbs 8:15-16; Psalm 72:11;

In class, we have read some of the books of Exodus, discussed its themes, characters, and plot. For our project, our job was to re-create the story of Moses in reference to our own lives in 2017. My group decided that recreating the original bible story would be the best way to tell the story of Moses. Not only does it get the true meaning of Exodus across, our recreation shows that these themes written long ago are still relevant to our life today. These themes include how change can come from an unlikely place, social structure can keep people back, receiving revelation that this social structure is hurtful, your relationship with an authority figure who goes against what you believe/furthers what in society is keeping you back, what evidence

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.”

The Christian Bible, in all of its glory and mystery, is the book with the most translations than any other book ever written. Translated into nearly 400 different languages and has well over 100 different versions within the English language alone, it's hard to think of another book so widely known. But why is it so controversial? Many people do not truly believe the words that live between these pages. However, according to the world clock, there are currently around 2.3 billion Christians today out of the nearly 7.5 billion people roaming the earth. When calculated, this comes to about 31% of the planet self identifying as Christ followers. That’s quite a lot of people, and though we are currently the largest religion, we are slowly shrinking in size and Islam, currently at 23% of the population, is slowly growing in numbers.

The battle of Jericho was Joshua’s first battle as Moses successor. The Israelites were commanded to march around the walls of Jericho once every day for seven days. On the seventh day they marched around the wall seven times. The seventh time they marched they shouted out, the priest blew their trumpets and the walls came down. They overtook the city with a great vengeance and they killed every person in the city (save Rahab and her household) and they burnt the city with fire and everything in it. Joshua 6:12-27. The Battle of Ai: the Israelites saw that Ai was small, so they sent only three thousand men to fight them. Ai won the battle and killed about 36 men and chased them off their land. Joshua 7:2-6.

A few months ago my grandfather encouraged me to learn the words of God. He told me to open my mind and learn from the book of the Lord, The Bible. On the first day, he explained to me that The Holy Bible is a volume of sixty-six books and forty authors. Although I may not understand the readings to the fullest, it’s still an interesting and encouraging learning process. The Bible itself teaches believers God’s plan of, “...he will guide you into all truth…”(John 16:13), which is brought to us by the minds controlled by him directly, God. It is stated in scripture that it is surely not made up by the writers themselves. Each event throughout the Old and New Testament “proof it’s god’s words”. So, indeed God’s plan is disclosed within the scripture. With The Lord’s plan in place, he presented us strict guidelines between the 16th and 13th centuries BC. If any rule is disobeyed it is described as a sin. Those rules that were written in stone are known as the Ten Commandments.

Moses was dead. The Israelites had no leader and they began to wonder what was going to happen to them. They shouldn’t have been fearful; God was taking care of them. Joshua, who had been the prime minister fro Moses, had been handpicked by God to fulfill the leadership position. As the story says, “Joshua had been chosen by God to lead the Israelites.” He had shown wisdom and discernment in many situations and he understood the responsibility for leading the people. He was well qualified for the position! Joshua was well qualified for this position, because he had been faithful before in small menial tasks that had been given to him. He had been faithful to God in the little things and now –because of the faithfulness- God was giving to him this huge responsibility. Reading this made me think about my own life. Would I be found faithful before God in the little things in life? And would I be able to take on bigger responsibilities? Ellen G. White says this, “Only

God wanted Israel to conquer the land of Canaan and claim it for His glory. God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would be fulfilled by Joshua and the Israelites when they arrived in the promised land flowing with milk and honey (Josh. 5:6). However, God gave Israel specific instructions that they had to complete in order for them to claim Canaan their own, revel in the covenant promises of God, or expect God to fight their battles. They had to renew the covenant with God in order for His blessings to be on them and guarantee their victory.
