The document provides an overview of the prophetic books of the Old Testament. It discusses that the prophetic period covers around 400 years leading up to and including the destruction of Jerusalem. There are 17 prophetic books written by 16 prophets. The prophets received messages from God to warn Israel of coming judgment for sins and to provide hope of restoration. Their messages were relevant to their own times but also looked ahead to the coming of the Messiah. The prophets served as God's spokesmen to instruct the people in following God's law.

Many of us have an endless list of questions when it comes to Bible prophecy. It is quite possible that the more we study, the more confusing it all becomes. Taken from Dr. Jeremiah's "Answers to the Unsolved Mysteries of Prophecy" booklet, these charts will help you navigate through end-times prophecy and will answer your questions about the final days of this world.
From the days of Polycarp to the present numerous attempts have been made to unlock the enigmatic 666 and its association with the name of the antichrist. What is its significance? How does the mark of the beast compare to the seal of God?
Unfortunately, at times even a church can condone sexual immorality. It happens every day now as churches redefine and explain away God's definition of marriage. In his letter to the church of Thyatira, Jesus tells us how seriously he views us calling sin simply "alternative" or "acceptable" or "tolerant" views. In particular, pornography is destroying nations.
Are you "hot" or "cold" for Christ? He prefers one or the other. What he can't stand is the "lukewarm" Christian. Such a person won't lose his salvation, but he could lose his ministry, his privileges and even his physical life! This often happens to wealthy believers who trust themselves, as happened to the rich church at Laodicea. Hear the warning. Better yet, heed it.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. Old Testament Survey:
Introduction to the
Books of Prophecy
“For whatever things were
written before were written for
our learning, that we through
the patience and comfort of the
Scriptures might have hope.”
(Romans 15:4)
2. The Prophetic Books
• Period of prophets covers about 400 years (800-
400 BC)
• Central event—destruction of Jerusalem (about
middle of the period)
• There are 17 books—Isaiah thru Malachi
• Only 16 prophets wrote (Jeremiah wrote two)
• Five Major Prophets; Twelve Minor Prophets
3. Relationship to
Other Books
• 17 books of prophecy complement the 17 historic books.
• The emphasis in the prophetic books not so much on
history as on proclaiming and interpreting God’s word to a
backsliding nation!
• Belong to the nation’s decline and fall, leading to captivity
• Five poetical books (Job to Song of Solomon) pertain
chiefly to the golden age of the monarchy—the united
kingdom
4. Main Theme
• God’s justice, sovereignty, and mercy
– God’s justice and sovereignty
– His matchless mercy and love for Israel
– Overruling providence in the nation’s affairs
– Weave in contemporary and future events
– Dark background of righteous judgment
– Bright cord of divine love, even in punishment
– Promise and realization of restoration of a remnant of
Israel
– Shining hope of the coming Redeemer!
5. • Relevant Message
– Messages of the prophets were relevant to
the moral and religious conditions of their day
– Time to root out and build up
(Jeremiah 1:9,10)
– God was sending hope and solutions for their
problems.
– This message of hope is still relevant in our
own day (Romans 15:4)
Main Theme
6. • Main Message
– Most important message of the prophets was
their good news of the coming Christ, His
redemptive work, and the establishment of
His kingdom—the church!
– This told the audience (then and now) that
God had a plan, and He would bring that plan
to fruition—in His time!
Main Theme
7. The Office of a Prophet
• Primary work of prophets
– God’s spokesman, called by Him to warn the people in
times of great national crisis and distress.
– Rebuked Israel for her past sins, warned of present
dangers, and foretold future events.
– Called on an individual basis, for special service. God
used different terms: seers, watchmen, shepherds.
– Called to announce and interpret His word to the people.
8. • Primarily preachers
– God’s messengers; primarily preachers of
righteousness and teachers of the Law.
– Called and sent by God during critical times of
widespread moral and spiritual decay.
– Often stood alone (Jeremiah 5:30,31)
– Champions of righteousness—combination of
teacher, statesman, and seer.
The Office of a Prophet
9. • Inspired by God
– 2 Peter 1:20,21
– The prophets were aware of the gift of inspiration.
– Most common expression—”Thus saith the Lord.”
– Earliest work was oral—Elijah and Elisha.
– Later, they worked to preserve records of their
preaching and the nation’s history.
– God’s mouthpiece (Exodus 4:10-16)
The Office of a Prophet
10. • Prophets were reformers
– Normally, priests and Levites were the teachers in Israel.
– God called the prophets when the people and their
leaders neglected the Law (Ezekiel 22:26).
– They warned the people of the certainty of God’s
judgment and wrath if they did not change their ways.
– As scribes, recorded the events.
– They wrote and compiled large portions of the Old
Testament.
– Many prophecies concerning the Messiah.
The Office of a Prophet
11. • Proof of their word
– Reveal the future without error or exception
– Deuteronomy 18:20-22
– Similar test in the new—1 Corinthians 14:37
– God expects us to search out and know the
differences between His prophets and the
false prophets!
– Luke 24:44; Hebrews 2:3,4; 1 John 4:1
The Office of a Prophet
12. God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
Spokesmen for
God to instruct
and exhort the
people about
the Law.
“Then the LORD put forth His
hand and touched my mouth,
and the LORD said to me:
‘Behold, I have put My words in
your mouth. See, I have this day
set you over the nations and
over the kingdoms, to root out
and to pull down, to destroy and
to throw down, to build and to
plant.’” (Jeremiah 1:9,10)
13. To reveal His
will during the
Old Testament
period.
“God, who at various
times and in various
ways spoke in time past
to the fathers by the
prophets.” (Hebrews
1:1)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
14. Prophets had
messages that
were, first of all,
relevant to the
moral and
religious
condition of the
day.
“Because My people
have forgotten Me, they
have burned incense to
worthless idols. And
they have caused
themselves to stumble
in their ways, from the
ancient paths, to walk in
pathways and not on a
highway.”
(Jeremiah 18:15)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
15. They
forewarned and
admonished
rulers, often
face to face.
“Then Zedekiah the king
commanded that they
should commit Jeremiah
to the court of the prison,
and that they should give
him daily a piece of bread
from the bakers' street,
until all the bread in the
city was gone. Thus,
Jeremiah remained in the
court of the prison.”
(Jeremiah 37:21)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
16. They preserved,
in written form,
the messages
they received
directly from
God.
“Take a scroll of a book
and write on it all the
words that I have
spoken to you against
Israel, against Judah,
and against all the
nations, from the day I
spoke to you, from the
days of Josiah even to
this day.”
(Jeremiah 36:2)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
17. They recorded
the history of
their times.
“That very hour the
word was fulfilled
concerning
Nebuchadnezzar; he
was driven from men
and ate grass like oxen;
his body was wet with
the dew of heaven till
his hair had grown like
eagles' feathers and his
nails like birds' claws.”
(Daniel 4:33)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
18. The prophets
counteracted
the people’s
idolatrous
tendencies.
“I will stretch out My
hand against Judah,
and against all the
inhabitants of
Jerusalem. I will cut off
every trace of Baal
from this place, the
names of the idolatrous
priests with the pagan
priests.”
(Zephaniah 1:4)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets
19. Examples of
great faith and
courage. Most
suffered
persecution and
death because of
their work.
“For then the king of
Babylon's army
besieged Jerusalem,
and Jeremiah the
prophet was shut up in
the court of the prison,
which was in the king
of Judah's house.”
(Jeremiah 32:2)
God’s Purpose for
Calling the Prophets

wickedness in overthrowing Judah. God’s providential,
delivering love for His people.

– The last of the Old Testament’s inspired prophets,
Malachi lived 100 years after Haggai and Zechariah. He

marriages, divorce, polluted sacrifices, corruption of the
Sabbath, withholding tithes, and other sins. The only
prophet who discussed the forerunner of Christ—John
the Baptist. God’s continued love despite their lack of
steadfastness.
