Christian theology offers three possible answers (with variations on each theme). Dr. Davis suggests that you consider the evidence for each interpretation, and then come to your own conclusion.

After exploring three possible answers in the previous session, Dr. Davis shares her understanding from Scripture as to “who will be saved,” and then explains how she drew this conclusion.

Dr. Davis explains various Christian interpretations that attempt to answer the question, “Who will be saved?” Then she turns to the second aspect of salvation for Israel, which is rescue from daily consequences of walking in worldly ways. This concept of daily rescue from pain and suffering is portrayed through the artistic nature of the Exodus narrative.

Paul declares that believers in Christ have received “the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Gal 3:14). God’s promise can be found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which conveys deeper meaning through the artistry of the language.

The Exodus event teaches us how to be free from bondage to the world in our daily lives. The irony is that freedom without the law leads to suffering bondage under the control of Satan.

This session conducts a close examination of Genesis 28:10-13 by considering the geography of the event, the greater narrative in which Jacob’s vision occurs, and especially the artistic nature of the biblical text.

In Leviticus 11:44 we learn that God commands the children of Israel to be holy as He is holy. In the New Testament, Peter repeats this commandment to believers in Christ. The reason for this commandment is so that God’s children, both Jew and Gentile, can draw near to Him.

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that understanding baptism is one of several “elementary teachings.” Yet, there is a depth of understanding to this “elementary teaching.” How deep is your understanding about baptism by water and Spirit?

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that “laying on of hands” is an elementary teaching. Yet, Yeshua laid hands on people to heal them. This session leads us to a higher principal regarding “laying on of hands.”

In Hebrews 6:1-2 we learn that the knowledge of eternal judgment is an “elementary teaching.” This session leads us to a higher principal regarding eternal judgment.
