The Phoenicians were a Canaanite people who lived along the Mediterranean coast near Israel during the time that Israel had kings like Saul, David, and Solomon. They were skilled seafarers and traders who traveled as far as Spain and North Africa. Two important contributions of the Phoenicians were developing one of the first alphabets made of letters to represent sounds, rather than symbols for whole words, and producing purple dye from murex snails that was highly valued in the ancient world. The Phoenician city of Tyre grew wealthy from maritime trade but was also known for the unpleasant smell from dye production.
This document discusses various names and attributes of God that relate to Him being a shepherd. It notes that names like El Roi, Jehovah Roi, and Jehovah Jireh portray God as a shepherd. The document then describes characteristics of sheep that show how helpless they are without a shepherd, like being unable to defend themselves, easily getting lost, and totally depending on their shepherd for survival. It highlights how this is a metaphor for humankind's dependence on God as our shepherd. The document concludes by focusing on Psalm 23, which expresses that God is not just a shepherd but the personal shepherd of the individual saying "The LORD is MY Shepherd."
This document discusses what is known about God based on his names in the Bible. It references Genesis 22 where God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, though provides a ram instead. It says God as Jehovah Jireh will provide all needs. Obeying God fully and immediately without hesitation is discussed, as is surrendering one's most precious things to God like Abraham surrendered Isaac.
The Trojan Horse story occurred in 1250 BC. Paris chose Aphrodite in a beauty contest and was rewarded with Helen, who was already married to Menelaus. To get Helen back, Menelaus and his brother devised a plan to get the Trojans to take a huge wooden horse inside their city gates as a celebration. That night, Greek soldiers hiding inside the horse opened the city gates to let in the Greek army, who then conquered Troy by burning it down.
The document discusses the history of ancient Egypt from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. Some key details include:
- King Khufu of the Old Kingdom/Age of the Pyramids built the Great Pyramids at Giza around 2700-2200 BC.
- The Middle Kingdom period from 2050-1800 BC would have overlapped with the time of Joseph in Egypt.
- Ramses II, who ruled from the Early Kingdom period of 1570-1300 BC, is believed to have been the Pharaoh during Moses' time in Egypt.

Overall, the document focuses on learning about God through his biblical names and how he provides for people.
This document discusses the name "El Roi" which means "God who sees". It explains that when we understand God sees our pain and needs, it gives us hope to keep going and trust Him. God not only sees the present, but the future as well. The story of Hagar and Ishmael is used to illustrate that God sees our distress and has heard how we are mistreated. Several Bible verses reinforce that God watches over us and is always aware of our situations and paths in life.

In Mesopotamia, new empires invaded and rulers took power, establishing the Babylonian civilization. One famous Babylonian leader was Hammurabi, who ruled from 1792-1750 BC. Archaeologists discovered a stone monument in 1901 containing Hammurabi's famous code of 300 laws, which established standards for legal issues like property, trade, loans, wages, and witchcraft. While similar in some ways to the laws God later gave Moses, Hammurabi's code focused on establishing order and giving glory to the king, rather than worship of one God.
During the 18th dynasty of Egypt, King Amenhotep IV and his wife Nefertiti ruled. Amenhotep IV was unusual in that he chose to worship one god, the sun god, abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheism. After Amenhotep's death, Egypt returned to worshipping multiple gods. One of the most famous Egyptian kings was Tutankhamun, or King Tut, who began ruling at age 8 or 9 but died at around 18 years old. In 1922, archaeologists discovered King Tut's intact tomb, filled with treasures intended for his afterlife, shedding light on Egyptian burial customs.

It encourages that however lonely one may feel, God overlooks none and watches over all. God knows our hearts and paths, and can come to our aid when tested or tried. We should keep our eyes on God as El Roi who never takes his eyes off us.

The name emphasizes God's omnipotence and ability to provide for his people against all odds. It is meant to inspire trust that God can accomplish anything.

The document discusses what can be known about God. It explains that God has different names that reflect His attributes as Creator (Elohim), God (El), and the Most High (El Elyon). It states that God is sovereign over the angelic hosts, inhabitants of the earth, and permits circumstances in people's lives, for example in the story of Job. The document emphasizes that whatever God does is ultimately for our good and His glory according to Romans 8:28. It concludes that God's plans will stand and no one can frustrate His plans.
The Sumerians built ziggurats to reach heaven but God did not approve of their pride, so he confused their language and dispersed the people. This led to over 5,000 languages developing today and genetic differences between races. Another ancient structure is Stonehenge, a stone circle in England built over 4,000 years ago that was used to track the sun and moon, though it is a mystery how the large stones were transported. Early Egypt was divided between Upper and Lower Egypt, with different cultures in each region that worshipped distinct gods.

After the flood, God sent a rainbow as a promise not to destroy the world again and the ice age began when God removed a vapor cloud, changing the climate and bringing seasons. Civilization was restarted in the Fertile Crescent area known as Mesopotamia between rivers, where the intelligent Sumerians developed society with irrigation
During the Cold War period, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik as the first artificial satellite in 1957, shocking the United States and starting the Space Race. In response, President Kennedy announced in 1961 that the US would land a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. The first American in space was Alan Shepard in 1961, followed by John Glenn becoming the first American to orbit Earth in 1962. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon with Neil Armstrong becoming the first person to walk on the lunar surface, fulfilling Kennedy's goal. After the Apollo missions ended in the 1970s, work began on the Space Shuttle program to support long-term space exploration.
