The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense: Part 2
This is a continuation of my last post on Old Testament Lesson 36 covering Isaiah 1-6. I had hoped to post it before today (Sunday), but unfortunately didn’t quite make it.

“He Took Up…the Mantle of Elijah” (OT Lesson 29)
This lesson is about the transition of the prophetic office from Elijah to his successor, Elisha, and the ministry of Elisha to the people of Israel.

“Noah…Prepared an Ark to the Saving of His House” (Old Testament Lesson 6)
Although this week’s (if I’m ever off-schedule here, please let me know — I am in Scotland…) lesson is focused on Noah and the Flood narrative, this post will concentrate more on “his house.” Not that the story of Noah isn’t important, or that I couldn’t find tons of things to say about it, but [...]
