- Episode 14 - Going Into Captivity
Episode #14– Going Into Captivity
The end of the Kingdom and the country had come. The Babylonians surrounded Jerusalem, captured their wealth, deported their people to Persia and for an exclamation point— totally destroyed their Temple.For those seeking to understand the Bible, however, the time the Jews spent in captivity in Babylon and Persia are important times. The Bible books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Esther were all written from Persia. The experiences of the Jews in this foreign land set the stage for the ultimate deliverance— the coming of a Messiah.Episode #14 comes from the final chapters of 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles and the book of Jeremiah. It helps us understand the ‘back story’ of Jewish Captivity in Persia and the blessings that will come from this experience. Hope you enjoy this episode ‘Going into Captivity’!28 min - Episode 13 - The Civil War of Israel
Episode #13: The Civil War of Israel
Any war is deeply tragic but especially so when the war is a Civil War pitting brother against brother and dividing a nation. Israel had experienced a unified Kingdom under its first three kings— Saul, David and Solomon. That unity was now over, however, as Israel splits into two separate countries. The 10 tribes of the north would be called the Northern Kingdom or Israel. The Southern Kingdom would be known as Judah. In this episode we cover the Biblical books of 1 & 2 Kings and 1 & 2 Chronicles... and the destinies of a divided Israel. Welcome to Episode #13– The Civil War of Israel.29 min - Episode 12 - We Three Kings of Israel
Episode #12: We Three Kings of Israel
After the time of the Judges, the people demanded a king. So it was a king they got. The first three kings — Saul, David and Solomon— led a ‘United States of Israel’. That is, all 12 tribes were unified and the ‘nation’ of Israel was created. For 120 years Israel would experience a United ‘kingdom’. In this episode we seek to understand Israel under the government of these three leaders. It was, in many ways, the most glorious time of all for Israel. Territory was won, a capital was established... and a Temple was built. Join us on the journey as, from the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings... we learn about ‘We Three Kings of Israel!26 min - Episode 11 - Samuel the King Maker
EPISODE #11– Samuel the King Maker
The children of Israel had experienced a number of ‘up’s and downs’ while settling into life in the Promised Land. The leadership of the Judges was not going well. Maybe the answer was to become like ‘everyone else’. The nations around Israel all had Kings. ‘Ah, there’s the answer! We want a King too!’The books of 1st and 2nd Samuel detail the transition of Israel from a ‘theocracy’ (led by God) to a ‘monarchy (led by a King). To Samuel, the 'last Judge of Israel’ fell the job of anointing the first two kings of Israel. Hope you enjoy and learn from this episode— Samuel The King Maker.25 min - Episode 10 - The Beauty of Ruth
Episode #10: The Beauty of Ruth
The book of Ruth is ‘beautiful’ on many levels. In it, we see the Hebrew Bible’s focus and honoring of women. In it, we see that one’s ‘country of origin’ does not matter to God as much as the ‘attitude of our heart’. And in it, we can ‘connect dots’ as God places a seemingly insignificant widowed Moabite women in the center of His will. Ruth will become the great grandmother of the greatest King in Israel and a heroine included in the family line of the coming Messiah Jesus.Continue on your ‘simple journey through the Bible’ as we look in this episode at The Beauty of Ruth!25 min - Episode 9 - The Judges of Israel
EPISODE #9– The Judges of Israel
The Book of Judges is an interesting and insight record of the timeframe before Israel had Kings. Interesting because of the flawed and sometimes odd people God raised up to lead the people in this newly conquered Promised land... and insightful in the similarities to today’s world and our propensity toward ‘doing what is right in our own eyes’! Enjoy the journey in this episode entitled ‘The Judges of Israel’.27 min - Episode 8 - Joshua & The Land
Episode #8: Joshua and the Land
The Promises God made to Abraham are ALMOST fulfilled. From Abraham’s ‘loins’ has come a mighty people— the million plus nation known as Israel. Then God provides for this might Nation an amazing set of ‘laws’ to live by (Exodus thru Deuteronomy). In this Episode, God fulfills His Promise of a LAND to call their own, as Joshua leads the people into the PROMISED LAND. Journey with Joshua and ‘connect the dots’ in this Episode: Joshua and the Land.28 min - Episode 7 - Moses & the Law
In this episode of The 24 Minute Bible, we look at the incredible impact of Moses the Lawgiver as he listens to God and writes down the commandments, rules and regulations for this new nation known as Israel. The books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy may be seen as dry and boring to some— indeed they can be— but these new precepts provide the basis for a government for Israel. And for us as well. Learn and understand God's purposes as you listen to Episode #7 entitled Moses and the Government.
29 min - Episode 6 - Moses & A New Nation
Moses sits at the very center of Western society. He is the man God used to form a New Nation— the nation of Israel. In this Episode (#6) of the 24 Minute Bible podcast, we piece together the life of Moses, the timing of God and the events that forged a small tribe into a mighty Nation. Enjoy the journey as we learn about the foundational role Moses has in fulfilling God’s Promise to Abraham of a Holy Nation. Welcome to — MOSES and a New Nation!
25 min - Episode 5 - Abraham & His Kids
EPISODE #5– Abraham and His Kids
Every family has a ‘beginning’— a Matriarch or Patriarch from which the biological lineage can be traced. Jesus’ family was no exception. God chose a man and his kids as the human gene pool through which a Messiah would come. That man was ABRAHAM. In this episode we begin the 2000 year Biblical journey from the ‘calling of Abraham’ to the ‘Coming of the Christ. Hope you enjoy this episode called ‘Abraham and His Kids’.26 min
