This document summarizes the biblical account of God's covenant with Noah found in Genesis chapters 6-9. It discusses key points of the covenant including that it was made between God, Noah, and all living creatures after the flood to repopulate the earth. The covenant established that man would have dominion over animals, a change in man's diet to include meat but forbid eating blood, capital punishment for murder, and God's promise to never again destroy all life with a flood as symbolized by the rainbow. The Noahic covenant established the rules and authority for man's governance after the flood and remains in effect today.
The document summarizes the key provisions and confirmations of the Abrahamic covenant between God and Abraham as recorded in the book of Genesis. The main points are:
1) God promised Abraham that he would become a great nation, be given the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession, and that all nations of the earth would be blessed through him.
2) The covenant was confirmed through Abraham's descendants Isaac and Jacob, and would be marked by circumcision for all males.
3) Some provisions were immediately fulfilled, while others await complete fulfillment in the future, such as possession of the entire Promised Land, so the covenant remains in effect today.
The Edenic Covenant was an agreement between God and Adam that was established in the Garden of Eden. Under this covenant:
1) God gave Adam dominion over the earth and commanded him to subdue it, be fruitful and multiply. This transferred authority over the earth from Satan to humanity.
2) God provided all plants for food and gave Adam authority over animals, though his diet was originally vegetarian.
3) Adam was directed to tend and keep the Garden. Disobedience would result in spiritual death.
However, Adam and Eve broke this covenant by disobeying God and eating the forbidden fruit. As a result, the terms of the Edenic Covenant were no
This document discusses the Davidic Covenant found in 2 Samuel 7:12-16. It provides three key points:
1) God promised David that his lineage and kingdom would last forever, with a future king from David's line, Jesus, sitting on the throne.
2) The covenant promises a dynasty from David's line, an eternal kingdom ruled by David's throne, emphasizing the unconditional nature of this promise to Israel.
3) The covenant will be fulfilled when Christ returns to rule over Israel as the descendant of David who sits on the throne forever, as described in passages like Isaiah 9:6-7, Jeremiah 23:5-6, and Luke 1:31-33.
This document summarizes a seminar on the Adamic Covenant between God and Adam based on Genesis 3:14-19. It describes the covenant's participants as God and Adam representing humanity. It outlines the provisions, including curses placed on the serpent, Satan, Eve, and Adam. For Adam and humanity, it describes the introduction of physical death, hardship in work, and separation from God. The covenant became the basis for the Dispensation of Conscience and remains in effect today as an unconditional covenant.
God corrects David and Nathan's presumption that David should build a temple. God reminds them that he has dwelt with Israel in a portable tabernacle since delivering them from Egypt, not a permanent house. God promises David that he will make David's house and kingdom lasting, establishing an eternal throne. After David's death, God will raise up one of David's offspring to build a temple for God's name and establish a kingdom forever under God's oversight as father. This promises looks ultimately to Jesus, who fulfills the Davidic covenant by establishing an eternal kingdom through his gospel.
The document provides an overview and analysis of Genesis 9. Key points include:
1) Genesis 9 commands humanity to "be fruitful and increase in number," emphasizing the importance of procreation.
2) God establishes a covenant after the flood with Noah, all living creatures, and the earth, promising never again to destroy all life with a flood. This is described as a universal and unilateral covenant.
3) The sign of this covenant is the rainbow, using the specific Greek word "iris" to denote a rainbow rather than a generic "bow."
The document summarizes key aspects of the Land Covenant between God and Israel as described in Deuteronomy.

Several times the Israelites grumbled against God and Moses for lack of food or water, showing their short memories, until God provided for their needs each time. God promises to make the Israelites his special people if they obey his covenant. The Israelites later rebel and worship a golden calf, almost causing God to destroy them, until Moses intercedes. God punishes the sinners and the Israelites then willingly contribute materials and
God tells Jacob to return to the land of his family in Canaan. Jacob prepares to leave Haran with his wives, children, servants, and large flocks. He faces challenges as his father-in-law Laban has become hostile towards him and he expects hostility from his brother Esau when returning home. However, Jacob trusts that God will fulfill his promise to protect him. He sets out on the 500 mile journey back to Canaan with his family and possessions.
The document discusses the Christian journey as paralleling the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. It states that for Christians, the world represents a wilderness that tests their faith through trials, just as the Israelites faced tests during their 40 years in the desert. However, it notes that God provides for believers' spiritual needs and security during this time, and promises a heavenly country, or Promised Land, for those who remain faithful to him. The document encourages Christians to endure hardships with confidence as they journey toward their eternal reward in the afterlife.
Session 07 Old Testament Overview - NumbersJohn Brooks
God's people journey from Mount Sinai toward the Promised Land, but it takes 40 years due to their unbelief. Chapters 1-10 see God preparing His people at Sinai. Chapters 11-16 detail their rebellion and lack of faith, for which God punishes them. However, God remains patient and His promises will prevail, as shown in chapters 17-36, where His people continue to prosper in size and God remains with them, fulfilling His promises to Abraham.
The document outlines God's presentation of grace through seven acts in biblical history.

These covenants established Abraham as the father of the Jewish people and placed responsibilities on Jews to follow the Torah.
God will judge the earth and its inhabitants for their sin and breaking of His covenant. Isaiah 24-27 discusses this coming judgement, including how God will devastate the earth and punish both earthly kings and the hosts of heaven. However, it also promises ultimate salvation and a banquet for all people on God's holy mountain when He defeats death. The passage encourages believers that though judgement is coming, God has a plan for hope and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Jacob had a dream of a stairway reaching between heaven and earth with angels ascending and descending. God appeared and promised Jacob the land, numerous descendants, and his presence, just as he had promised Abraham.

The Mosaic Covenant established the Law of Moses between God and the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai. It contained 613 commandments that revealed God's holiness and standards for righteousness. It provided rules for conduct, occasions for worship, and served to distinguish Israel as God's chosen people. However, the Law was not intended for salvation and showed that no one could achieve righteousness through works of the law. It drove people to have faith in the coming Messiah by revealing the need for salvation.
The document discusses the biblical tabernacle and its significance as a representation of God's kingdom. It explains that the tabernacle's design and articles were given by God to Moses as a pattern to follow in order to build a physical replica. Each item in the tabernacle from the ark of the covenant to the table of showbread symbolizes an aspect of God's relationship with his people and his desire for them to dwell intimately with him. The tabernacle serves as a picture of the renewed covenant God desires to make with his people through Messiah.
Session 15 Old Testament Overview - I & II KingsJohn Brooks
The document provides an overview of the biblical books of 1 and 2 Kings. It discusses how Kings originally formed one book and was compiled from many historical sources. The events covered stretch from King Solomon's rule to the exile of God's people. Throughout Kings, the kings are evaluated based on how well they obey God's law. Both the northern and southern kingdoms experience periods of obedience and disobedience among their rulers. This leads to blessings or judgments, as outlined in Deuteronomy. Ultimately, no earthly king fully fulfills God's purposes until the coming of Jesus Christ as the eternal king in the line of David.

The frontline church presentation session 2 [autosaved]Anne Johnson
This document appears to be notes from a group session discussing serving God on the "frontlines," even when facing difficulties. The session was led by Anne Johnson from St. Mary's Parish Church. The aim was to explore God's call to serve on the frontlines, even when it seems difficult or hostile. Participants were asked to share experiences from the previous week and discuss how they try to be a blessing to others in their daily lives, despite challenges. They also discussed praying for God to change situations and make decisions to serve their frontlines. The notes provide questions for reflection and encouragement to live faithfully as Christians wherever they are.
This document contains a collection of Bible verses related to commitment. It discusses different types of commitments including commitment to God, family, work/study, and defines concepts like covenants, vows, and soul ties. Key verses discussed include Joshua 24:15 which talks about committing to serve God and Philippians 1:21 about living for Christ. The document aims to explore the idea of commitment from a biblical perspective.
The document provides an introduction and summary of Judges 1-3 from the Bible. It discusses how after Joshua's death, the Israelites did not fully drive the Canaanites from the Promised Land and compromised with their enemies. This led God to allow them to be oppressed by neighboring nations as punishment. Whenever the Israelites cried out to God for help, he would raise up judges to rescue them, but the cycle would repeat as the generations forgot God.
Dr John Oakes taught a class titled Living By Faith in Las Vegas 9/9/2012. It is an exposition on Hebrews 11, with the theme that faith is belief in things unseen.
This document discusses God's promises and conditions for Israel regarding the land of Israel according to passages in Deuteronomy. It summarizes that God promised to set Israel above all nations if they obeyed his commandments, but there would be curses including being removed from the land if they disobeyed. It notes Israel has not yet fully obeyed and discusses prophecies that the people will one day return to God and be restored to the full land.
1. The Israelites returned to Jerusalem after years of exile and rebuilt the altar and temple of God, signifying a new beginning with God was possible no matter how spiritually low they had become.
2. They began with rebuilding the altar to focus on forgiveness of sins through sacrifices, pointing to Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.
3. They obeyed God's word in rebuilding as written in the Law of Moses.
4. Building the temple, God's house, required courage, resources, unity, worship, and cooperation between old and young generations. New beginnings with God focus on the cross, obedience, and building His house.
The document provides context and analysis regarding the story of the Gibeonites in the Bible. It discusses how the Gibeonites, seeking to survive Israel's conquest of Canaan, cleverly negotiated a peace treaty with Israel by pretending to come from a faraway land. This opened the way for the Gentiles to later be grafted into God's people. The document analyzes the allegorical elements of the Gibeonites' story and how it foreshadows the salvation of the Gentiles through faith in Jesus Christ.
This document discusses strengthening the Church by enlarging missionary and membership efforts. It begins by explaining the metaphor of strengthening the stakes of Zion used by prophets to refer to building up local congregations worldwide. Members are encouraged to strengthen their own testimonies and participate in missionary work. The gathering of Israel is described as bringing comfort amid trials. Looking to the Second Coming, members are told to wait faithfully. The Millennium is described as a time of joy without death or enmity when God will answer prayers immediately. Overall, the document encourages members to build up their local congregations in preparation for Christ's return.
Nehemiah heard that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and its gates burned. He prayed and asked God to grant him favor with the king. The king allowed Nehemiah to return to Jerusalem to rebuild its walls. Nehemiah surveyed the damage and rallied others to help with the work. However, their efforts faced opposition and ridicule from Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem. Through prayer and trusting in God, Nehemiah and the people were able to overcome obstacles and complete rebuilding the walls.
The document discusses the history and nature of Israel. It argues that the biblical Israel was peaceful and obedient to God, while the modern state of Israel rejects Jesus and is too militant, aggressive, and selfish. It claims Israel gets its power from Satan and promotes evil globally. It criticizes USA and Israel for fomenting conflicts and sees weapons as blinding hearts to peace. It calls for respecting all beliefs, cultivating love, and achieving peace through dialogue rather than violence or interference in other nations.
The Book of Judges describes a recurring cycle in ancient Israel where the Israelites would abandon God and worship pagan gods, leading God to allow their enemies to oppress them. They would then cry out to God for help, God would send them a judge to deliver them, and peace would ensue until the next generation abandoned God again. The book highlights several judges who helped deliver Israel, including Deborah, Gideon, and Samson. It teaches that following righteous parents and friends, having faith in God, and keeping one's covenants can help strengthen individuals and prevent them from falling into apostasy even when surrounded by wickedness.

This document tells a story about a man who was calling out to God but failing to recognize how God was responding. God spoke to the man through a singing bird, thunder, a shining star, and the birth of the man's son, but each time the man did not listen or understand. Finally, God touched the man's cheek with a butterfly, but the man brushed it away without comprehending. The moral is that God speaks to us in many ways, but we must have open senses to recognize His communications.
The document discusses prophecies from the Old Testament that foretold characteristics of the Messiah which were fulfilled by Jesus in the New Testament. It provides several examples of prophecies about the Messiah being born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, descended from Abraham and King David, and more that were fulfilled by Jesus. The purpose seems to be showing how Jesus fulfilled Messianic prophecies and was the promised Messiah.
This document discusses the development of human senses from an embryo to adulthood and compares it to the development of spiritual senses. It notes that each of the five physical senses - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - emerge at different points in fetal and infant development. It then explores how each spiritual sense - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - relates to discerning spiritual truths and realities. The document emphasizes that regularly exercising our spiritual senses through reading Scripture, prayer, and obedience helps them to mature so we can better distinguish good from evil.
The three persons involved in the act of prophesying. God, the giver of the word. The person receiving from God to transmit the word. The final receiver.
Prophecy is speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people by restoring God's image in them, showing them God's plans, and communicating how God sees them. True prophecy comes from being Christ-centered and having one's heart filled with God's love, which is then poured out to others. Several scriptures are presented that declare God's promises of forgiveness, blessings, healing, and deliverance. The document encourages activating these prophecies by declaring them over others and concludes with a prayer for revelation, transformation, and effectiveness in prophetic ministry.
The document provides information about ambassadors from several sources including dictionaries and examples. It defines an ambassador as an official envoy, especially a high-ranking diplomat, sent by a country to represent them in another country. Joseph Grew and Kichisaburō Nomura are discussed as the ambassadors of the US and Japan respectively who worked to prevent war between the two countries before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The document also discusses how Christians can take on the role of ambassadors for Christ by knowing God's message, having wise and persuasive communication, and living virtuous lives that represent the kingdom of heaven.
The document discusses the biblical Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkoth). It describes how the feast commemorates the harvest and the Israelites' 40 years wandering in the desert. During the feast, Israelites built temporary shelters (sukkot) and lived in them for 7 days. At the Temple, priests performed rituals like pouring water and sacrificing 70 bulls to atone for the nations. The feast points to God dwelling with his people and the future ingathering of all nations when the Messiah returns.
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, marks the Jewish New Year according to the biblical calendar. It commemorates the beginning of the fall harvest season and prophetically points to end times events in God's plan of salvation. The blowing of the trumpet on this feast is likened to the last trumpet that will sound at the rapture of the church, gathering believers to meet the returning Jesus in the air. The 100 trumpet blasts, with the final one longest, picture the trumpet blast announcing Christ's second coming to earth to establish his kingdom.
This document provides an overview of a prophetic night event focused on discussing and prophesying from passages in the book of Isaiah. Participants will explore selected scriptures from their own point of view and compare to biblical commentary. They will share what striking points they find in each passage and discuss ideas emerging from the scriptures. The last hour will involve prophesying over each other. The document includes an opening prayer asking God to help activate prophetic gifts to lovingly represent him, renew minds to have his thoughts and insights, and for mouths to overflow with living waters to soak others in love. Passages on being engraved on God's hands and finding one's wilderness/desert are included to recognize new things, with definitions requested
Jewish people celebrate Shavuot and the harvest of wheat, while Christians celebrate Pentecost and the harvest of the church. Both holidays commemorate the giving of the law at Mount Sinai and the empowering of believers by the Holy Spirit. Pentecost marks when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in tongues of fire, empowering the early church and inaugurating the age of grace.
The document discusses the power of God's spoken word based on revelations the author received from listening to the song "So Will I (100 Billion X)". The author was amazed at receiving revelation from the song's lyrics and realized this showed how much more powerful it is to receive revelation directly from reading and meditating on the Bible itself. The song's lyrics are then included, praising God as the creator of all things and for His salvation through Jesus' death and resurrection.
The document discusses three instances in the Bible where the windows of heaven were opened. Each time, an abundance was poured out from heaven. The first was during Noah's flood, when God opened the windows of heaven to bring judgment through a torrential downpour. The second was when windows opened to transfer natural resources, changing a famine situation into a surplus. The third was when windows opened to pour out spiritual blessings too abundant to contain. Opening the windows of heaven signifies God releasing his abundant provision and blessing from the heavenly realm.
The document discusses spiritual harvest and encourages the reader to be ready. It notes that God has sowed seeds in the reader's "field" through prophetic words, blessings, and other means. These seeds have grown roots and blossoms and it is now time for harvest. The reader is encouraged to identify the different "lines of crops" or fruits of the spirit within themselves. Finally, it reminds the reader that God has prepared good works for them and they should look for opportunities to use their gifts, as this is part of the seeds sown in them. The reader is told to ensure their "silo" or spiritual storage is ready to keep the harvest.
The document discusses biblical meanings of various numbers. It notes that the number 7 represents completion or perfection. Genesis 7:23 describes the biblical flood wiping out all life except those on Noah's ark. Genesis 17:11-12 says circumcision of males should occur on the 8th day as a sign of God's covenant. Colossians 2:11 and John 20:26 also reference the importance of the 8th day. The document asserts that 800 represents being "fully put off" from the old, carnal nature. It lists ages that people in the Bible lived to be, many reaching 800-1000 years.
We can use the power of the blood of Jesus for our benefit. Claiming His blood daily, builds up a shield of protection around you, your household and your ministry.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. WHAT IS A PROMISE
• Promise noun
• UK /ˈprɒm.ɪs/ US /ˈprɑː.mɪs/
• promise noun (SAY CERTAINLY)
• B1 [ C ] the act of saying that you will certainly do something:
• I'll put my things away tonight - and that's a promise!
• I'll try to get back in time, but I'm not making any promises.
• keep/break a promiseB2 to do/not do what you said that you would do:
• If I make a promise, I like to keep it.
4. WHAT IS AN AGREEMENT
• Agreement noun [ C/U ]
• US /əˈɡri·mənt/
• the condition of having the same opinion, or a decision or arrangement between
two or more people or groups to do something or to obey the same rules:
• [ C ] a new trade agreement
• [ U ] Both sides were in agreement on the basic terms, but many details still had to
be worked out.
• [ C ] Leaders of both countries signed an agreement to exchange diplomats.
• [ U ] Let us help you to reach agreement.
5. WHAT IS A CONTRACT
• Contract noun [ C ]
• UK /ˈkɒn.trækt/ US /ˈkɑːn.trækt/
• B1 a legal document that states and explains a formal agreement between two
different people or groups, or the agreement itself:
• a contract of employment
• a temporary/building contract
• They could take legal action against you if you break (the terms of)the contract.
• My solicitor is drawing up (= writing) a contract.
• Don't sign/enter into any contract before examining its conditions carefully.
6. WHAT IS A COVENANT
• A bond entered into voluntarily by two parties in which each
pledges to do something for the other.
• This idea was used in a range of secular contexts before being
employed as a model for the relationship between God and His
people Israel.
• Therefore the Covenants with God became the central core to
the religion of the OT.
7. COVENANT:
• A contract or agreement between two parties. In the Old
Testament the Hebrew word berith is always thus
translated. Berith is derived from a root which means "to cut,"
and hence a covenant is a "cutting," with reference to the cutting
or dividing of animals into two parts, and the contracting parties
passing between them, in making a covenant (19). Gen 15; Jer
34:18,19).
• The corresponding word in the New Testament Greek
is diatheke, which is, however, rendered "testament" generally in
the Authorized Version. It ought to be rendered, just as the
word berith of the Old Testament, "covenant."
9. CONDITIONAL COVENANTS
• It’s a covenant with conditions for both sides. Here a proposal of God
to man is typically done by the formula:
if you will…, then I will…,
• In this covenant, God promises to grant special blessings to man, as
long as man fulfills certain conditions contained in the covenant.
• Man's failure to do so often results in punishment.
• So, the way responded to the covenant agreement brings either
blessings or cursing.
• The blessings are secured by obedience and man must meet his
conditions before God will meet His.
10. THE FAITHFULNESS OF YAHWEH
SHOWN IN THE COVENANTS
• Israel unfaithfulness vs Yahweh faithfulness.
• Yahweh assured Israel that he would never break his covenant made
with the forefathers (Judges 2:1). Israel repeatedly broke the covenant,
yet Yahweh remained faithful. He provided deliverance when the
people repented and called on him.
• Judges 2:1 (CJB)
• 2 Now the angel of ADONAI came up from Gilgal to Bokhim and said,
“I brought you up out of Egypt, led you to the land I swore to your
fathers and said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you;
11. UNCONDITIONAL COVENANTS
• Unconditional covenant is a unilateral covenant and is a sovereign act
of God. These covenants follow the formula: I will!
• Here, God unconditionally forces Himself to bring to pass some
declared blessings and conditions for the covenanted people.
• God could requests to the covenanted people to fulfill something as a
sign of gratitude, but they are not a condition for God's fulfilling His
promises.
• These blessings are conferred by the grace of God only!
12. • Two of the eight covenants of the Bible are conditional:
• The Edenic Covenant, and
• The Mosaic Covenant.
• Six of the eight covenants are unconditional:
• The Adamic Covenant,
• The Noahic Covenant,
• The Abrahamic Covenant,
• The Land Covenant,
• The Davidic Covenant, and
• The New Covenant.
13. WHO ARE THE COVENANTED PEOPLE
OF THESE EIGHT COVENANTS?
• Five of these eight covenants were made exclusively with Israel.
• While the other three ones were made with mankind in general.
• Only one of the five covenants made with Israel is conditional:
• The Mosaic Covenant.
• The other four covenants with Israel are all unconditional:
• The Abrahamic Covenant,
• the Land Covenant,
• the Davidic Covenant, and
• the New Covenant.
14. THE UNCONDITIONAL COVENANTS
MADE WITH ISRAEL
• Considerations:
• They are literal covenants and their contents must be interpreted
literally as well.
• These covenants that God has made with Israel are eternal and are
not in any way restricted or altered by time.
• Therefore, these unconditional covenants were not canceled or
abrogated because of Israel's disobedience!
• Remember that these covenants are unconditional and totally
dependent upon God for fulfillment,
• This is to say that their ultimate fulfillment must be expected.
16. ANTECEDENTS
• 1. God ordered: No covenants with the peoples of the Land.
•
Exodus 23:31-33 (NKJV)
• 31 And I will set your [a]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia,
and from the desert to the [b]River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of
the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before
you. 32 You shall make no [c]covenant with them, nor with their
gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin
against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to
you.”
17. ANTECEDENTS
• 2. The peoples of the Land gathered together to fight Israel
• Joshua 9:1-2 (NKJV)
• 9 And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side
of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts
of the Great Sea toward Lebanon—the Hittite, the Amorite, the
Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—
heard about it, 2 that they gathered together to fight with Joshua
and Israel with one [a]accord.
18. ANTECEDENTS
• 3. Gibeon acted craftily
• Joshua 9:3-5 (NKJV)
• 3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had
done to Jericho and Ai, 4 they worked craftily, and went
and [a]pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on
their donkeys, old wineskins torn and [b]mended, 5 old and
patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves;
and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.
19. ANTECEDENTS
• 4. Israel heard them say:
• “We are your servants” Joshua 9:7-8
• “From a very far country your servants have come,
because of the name of the LORD your God;” Joshua 9:9-11
• 5. They saw a false evidence:
• Moldy bread, old clothing and sandals. Joshua 9:12-13.
20. THE COVENANT
• Joshua 9:14-15 (NKJV)
• 14 Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but
they [a]did not ask counsel of the LORD. 15 So Joshua made peace
with them, and made a covenant with them to let them live; and
the rulers of the congregation swore to them.
• Just a few days earlier, Israel was defeated because of lack of wisdom and lack of
consultation to God. Now Israel disobeyed again and made a forbidden covenant.
21. THEY LEARNED THE TRUTH
AFTER THREE DAYS
• Their cities of Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath Jearim,
could not be attacked due to the covenant made with them,
Joshua 9:16-17
• They could not attack them as they have sworn to them by the
Lord God of Israel. Joshua 9:18-19
• The rulers of Israel decided to let them live, but made them
slaves for generations. Joshua 9:21
• They were afraid for their lives and decided to trick Israel. Joshua
9:24-25
22. •Gibeon had no fear of man, but fear of the God of the Israelites.
• 24 So they answered Joshua and said, “Because your servants
were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded His
servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the
inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were
very much afraid for our lives because of you, and have
done this thing. 25 And now, here we are, in your hands; do
with us as it seems good and right to do to us.”
JOSHUA 9:24-25 (NKJV)
23. JOSHUA 9:26-27 (NKJV)
• 26 So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the
children of Israel, so that they did not kill them. 27 And that day
Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the
congregation and for the altar of the LORD, in the place which He
would choose, even to this day.
• WHAT A BLESSED CURSE!!!
24. JOSHUA 10:1-2
(NKJV)
THE GIBEONITES WERE
WERE MIGHTY MEN OF
WAR. THEY DIDN’T
HAVE FEAR OF MAN,
BUT FEAR OF THE
GOD OF ISRAEL
• 10 Now it came to pass when
Adoni-Zedek king of
Jerusalem heard how Joshua had
taken Ai and had utterly destroyed
it—as he had done to Jericho and
its king, so he had done to Ai and
its king—and how the inhabitants
of Gibeon had made peace with
Israel and were among them, 2 that
they feared greatly, because
Gibeon was a great city, like one of
the royal cities, and because
it was greater than Ai, and all its
men were mighty.
25. PLEASE NOTE THIS:
• According to the Bible, the Israelites were commanded to destroy all
inhabitants of Canaan.
• Rahab and the people from Jericho, as well as the Gibeonites were
Canaanites, therefore were cursed by God and condemned to perish.
• Rahab fear the God of Israel, but decided to collaborate with the
spies trusting in the God of Israel. Thus she brought salvation for
herself, her family and everything that she had.
• The people from Jericho fear the God of the Israelites, fear Israel’s
army; but they trusted in the power on their mighty walls; as a
consequence they were destroyed.
26. • It brings tears to my eyes to realize that Rahab, according to the
Book of Joshua, was a woman who lived in Jericho in the Promised
Land and assisted the Israelites in capturing the city by betraying
her people.
• Rajab in the New Testament, is mentioned as an example of a
saint who lived by faith, and as someone "considered righteous"
for her works.
• What a merciful God we have!
27. • The Gibeonites knew they were condemned by the mighty God of
Israel. They feared this God and though all of them were mighty
warriors, they feared the army that was commanded by such a
powerful God.
• They acted cunningly, they tricked the Israelites who for a second
time in this offensive didn’t consult to God, Who in His great
mercy used the disobedience of Israel to let them live.
28. POINTS TO PONDER.
• Result of the Gibeonites slavery serving Israel and the Lord:
• Fear of the Lord help them to save their lives.
• What they have heard about the Lord became a living
experience.
• The knowing of His mighty power created in them faithfulness
and willingness to serve Israel and Their God.
• Generations later, the Gibeonite towns became part of very
important things happening in them: City of priests. Place of
worship. Seat of the Tabernacle. Seat of the Ark od the
Covenant. Solomon made King
29. • Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
• (17) Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.—The first
three of these were assigned to Benjamin (Joshua 18:25-26), the last to
(15:60), in the division of the land. The fact that the larger portion of the
territory of the Gibeonites was in the tribe of Benjamin explains how Saul
tempted to confiscate their possessions for the purpose of supplying his
followers with fields and vineyards (1Samuel 22:7). He appears to have
carried out his purpose in the case of Beeroth (2Samuel 4:2-3), but not as
regards all the Gibeonite towns. Gibeon became a city of the priests (Joshua
21:17), and also a principal place of worship and the seat of the tabernacle
(as Kirjath-jearim was of the ark) in later times. (See 1Samuel 6:21; 1Samuel
7:1, &c.; 1 Chron. 20:29; and 2Chronicles 1:3-6.) The fact that the Gibeonites
were dedicated to the service of the sanctuary may partly account for this.
Gibeon, Solomon asked and received the wisdom which Joshua and Israel
this time did not ask.
32. • 18 Now when he had finished speaking to
Saul, the [a]soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of
David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 2 Saul
took him that day, and would not let him go home to
his father’s house anymore. 3 Then Jonathan and David
made a covenant, because he loved him as his own
soul. 4 And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him
and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword
and his bow and his belt.
1 SAMUEL 18 (NKJV)
JONATHAN MAKES A COVENANT
WITH DAVID

15 (NKJV)
JONATHAN REAFFIRMS
HIS COVENANT WITH
DAVID. AS IF THIS
WOULD BE MADE WITH
THE LORD. NOTICE HE
MENTIONS THE LORD
FIVE TIMES.
• 12 Then Jonathan said to David:
“The LORD God of Israel is witness! When I
have [a]sounded out my father sometime
tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed
there is good toward David, and I do not
send to you and tell you, 13 may the Lord
do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it
pleases my father to do you evil, then I will
report it to you and send you away, that you
may go in safety. And the LORD be with you
as He has been with my father. 14 And you
shall not only show me the kindness of
the LORD while I still live, that I may not
die; 15 but you shall not [b]cut off your
kindness from my [c]house forever, no, not
when the LORD has cut off every one of the
enemies of David from the face of the
earth.”
34. 1 SAMUEL
23:16-18 (NKJV)
IT IS JUST ONE
COVENANT,
REAFFIRMED TWICE.
16 Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose
and went to David in the woods
and [a]strengthened his hand in
God. 17 And he said to him, “Do
not fear, for the hand of Saul my
father shall not find you. You shall
be king over Israel, and I shall be
next to you. Even my father Saul
knows that.” 18 So the two of
them made a covenant before
the LORD. And David stayed in the
woods, and Jonathan went to his
own house.
36. A THREE YEAR FAMINE MAKES
DAVID INQUIRE OF THE LORD
• 2 Samuel 21:1 (NKJV)
• 21 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years,
year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And
the LORD answered, “It is because of Saul and his
• [a]bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
37. POINTS TO CONSIDER
• Some 400 years before this happenings Joshua had made a
covenant with the Gibeonites, however Saul has broken it by
going after the Gibeonites.
• From here we can extract some important principles:
• God expects us to keep our promises.
• God expects nations to keep their promises.
• Time does not diminish our obligation to promises.
• God’s correction may come a long time after the offense.
38. DAVID TAKE STEPS
TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
• King David called the Gibeonites:
• He initiated a resolution with the Gibeonites.
• Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and
Judah: Saul’s misguided zeal was a sin and brought calamity on Israel.
• This is a good example of how good intentions don’t excuse bad
actions.
• We often excuse bad actions in ourselves and in others because of
what we think are good intentions.
• But God examines both our intentions and our actions.
39. 2 SAMUEL 21:3-4 (NKJV)
• 3 Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you?
And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the
inheritance of the LORD?”
• 4 And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold
from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for
us.”
• So he said, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.”
40. 2 SAMUEL 21:5-6 (NKJV)
• 5 Then they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed
us and plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from
remaining in any of the territories of Israel,
• 6 let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we
will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom
the LORD chose.”
41. 2 SAMUEL 21:7-8 (NKJV)
• 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son
of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them,
between David and Jonathan the son of
Saul.
8 So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons
of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the
five sons of [a]Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she [b]brought
up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
42. 2 SAMUEL 21:14 (NKJV)
• 14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the
country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So
they performed all that the king commanded. And after
that God heeded the prayer for the land.
