Journey Through The Bible: Isaiah Part 1- Crisis and FaithResurrection Church
Isaiah was one of the greatest prophets of the Bible. Part One looks at the prophetic process, how do prophets communicate God's messages. During Isaiah's life time Judah faced military and moral crises in which they had to choose between obedience to God's word proclaimed by Isaiah or reliance on strategic alliances.
Mount Zion Vs Mount of Olives
Verse one: “And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads”
• Jesus is standing on Mount Zion, located in the Northwestern part of Jerusalem, once the seat of government in the kingdom of Judah, after Solomons death, the Northern Kingdom was captured by the Assyrians in the 8th century BC and settled them in Medes 2Kings 18:9-12 - They are known as the lost 10 tribes of Israel. In 15th century Judah fell to Babylon. 70 years later they returned to Judah rebuilt Jerusalem and the temple. The Romans conquered Judea in 63 BC
• Around 1000 BC, Mount Zion was first used to mean the City of David and later known as the Temple Mount. (2 Samuel 5:7, 1 Chronicles 11:5; 1 Kings 8:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2)

Jesus is both Judge and Savior. He alone qualifies to punish sin because he alone has paid for it. In the coming Tribulation, he will break the seals to initiate the most terrible calamities ever to hit earth, but he also will get the attention of millions who will trust him because of it.

Chapter 5 Jeremiah: Plucking Up and PlantingJonathan Bacon
This slideshow provides information on Jeremiah (Old Testament) to supplement Chapter 5 of Richard A. Brown's "Speak to the Bones: How to Be a Prophetic People in a Time of Exile."
Verse one: “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars”
The “woman” is the Church, also called virgins or Christ bride. Ezekiel 16, Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 14:4; Revelation 19:7. This is a distinction from the Harlot who rejects Christ (Rev 17:1)
“clothed” refers to Orthodox Israel who did not receive Christ, type and shadow - Joseph, son of Jacob/Israel dreamed about his brothers and family that they would kneel before him, they rejected him. This is Israel in the tribulation. (Genesis 37:5-11)

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
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. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Introductory Issues
✦ Title – Isaiah means “Yahweh is Salvation”
✦ Date of Events – 739–681 b.c.
✦ Uzziah (791–740)
✦ Hezekiah (716–687)
✦ Canon
✦ book of Sirach (190 b.c.), aka Ecclesiasticus
✦ Qumran
✦ placed directly after Kings
3. …it stands, in the Hebrew ordering of the books,
back-to-back with Kings, the last book of the Former
Prophets. That interface … is fortuitous because the
books of Kings and Isaiah are together preoccupied
with the destiny of Jerusalem. The books of Kings end
with an account of the sorry end of the destruction of
Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the
ensuing deportation and exile. The book of Isaiah, in
its turn, is a meditation, albeit in complex
configuration, about the destiny of Jerusalem into the
crises of exile and the promise of Jerusalem out of
exile into new well-being.

5. Working Outline of Isaiah
1. Judgment & Salvation of God’s People (1–12)
2. Judgment & Salvation for the Nations (13–39)
3. Prophecies Relating to the Return from
Babylon (40–55)
4. Isaiah’s Final Prophecies (56–66)
6. Thus says the LORD, “Preserve justice
and do righteousness, For My salvation is
about to come And My righteousness to be
revealed.”
Isaiah 56:1
8. Here the imminent becoming-revealed of the
divine saving righteousness is the reason for
the demand to human beings to bring about
justice and righteousness themselves.
9. 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, And for
Jerusalem's sake I will not keep quiet, Until her
righteousness goes forth like brightness, And her
salvation like a torch that is burning. 2 The
nations will see your righteousness, And all kings
your glory; And you will be called by a new name
Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.
Isaiah 62:1–2
11. And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the
Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds
among the peoples; Make them remember that
His name is exalted.”
Isaiah 12:4
12. Judgment & Salvation of the
Nations (13–23)
✦ Why follow reunification & praise with scene of massive
judgment on nations?
✦ Why is Babylon first?
✦ Not primarily oracles of salvation for Israel.
✦ Rather, establish God’s sovereignty over the nations,
particularly human pride.
✦ The judgment of these nations would result in peace and
tribute for Yahweh (16:5; 18:7; 19:21–25; 23:15–18).
13. Judgment & Salvation of the
Nations (13–23)
✦ Words of salvation and blessing:
✦ Moab – 16:5
✦ Damascus – 17:7
✦ Cush – 18:7
✦ Egypt – 19:18–25
✦ Tyre – 23:17–18
14. Apocalyptic Vision (24–27)
✦ 24–27: Eschatological focus on destruction of all
nations and humankind (cf. ch. 13)
✦ means God’s kingdom is established in
Jerusalem (24:23)
✦ response of praise by Isaiah (25:1–12) and
by inhabitants of Judah (26:1–21)
✦ return of God’s people (ch. 27)
16. Justice (34–35)
✦ Edom is used as an example, as the archenemy of
the nation.
✦ According to the scroll (34:16–17)
✦ Note the connections between chs. 35 & 40 … so
why are they separated by 36–39?
17. Historical Insertion (36–39)
✦ see 10:12
✦ When would Isaiah’s earlier prophecies happen?
✦ The narrative shifts the focus from Assyria to Babylon.
✦ The point is to locate the prophecies in the future rather
than the past or present.
✦ The scope is messianic and eschatological, a time after
the exile.
✦ Hezekiah becomes an example of the trust God desired.
21. ✦ addresses post-exilic situation
✦ In 56:1–8 salvation is close at hand and extends
beyond Israel.
✦ Even after the exile, many would forsake
Yahweh (57:3–11). Those who did live
righteously would suffer (vv. 1–2).
✦ The only recourse was to trust in Yahweh (vv.
12–13).
22. ✦ Sin had separated them from the Lord (59:1–8),
which Isaiah acknowledged (vv. 9–15).
✦ Since they could not help themselves (vv. 16–
19), God would send His Redeemer to Zion (v.
20).
✦ New Covenant (v. 21)
