Israel - God's people. What is the bible really teaching about "Abrahams seed and the promised land"? This is a power point presentation. Click on the picture to start...
Bible prophecy tells us that the time is coming when the world will be united under an incredibly intelligent, charismatic, powerful, evil man. And it states that the Antichrist’s coming will be according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. The antichrist will exalt himself above all that is worshiped or called God and he will force everyone to take a mark (called the mark of the beast) or they will be killed. The bible gives a stern warning and demands that no one is to take this mark.
God promised to make a great nation from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This message explains the characteristics of a nation and how the ancient nation of Israel was a prototype or forerunner of the future Kingdom of God.
The Antichrist And His Kingdom
Daniel 7: 7 And behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. 23 The fourth beast shall be: a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. Daniel 8: 23 ...When the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Rev. 13: 4 And they worshipped the beast (Antichrist), saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 7 ... And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
1. THE SHADOW
SPREADS…
CHAOS THREATENS TO RETURN,
BUT HOPES ARE RAISED …AND THEN DASHED
AS THE NEW HUMANITY IS CREATED AND THEN FAILS…
The bible as “story” # 3
December 14, 2017 @ St. Luke’s (D-D-O)
2. LOTR
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
3. WHAT IS THE “OLD TESTAMENT”?
•A STORY…
•About ancient Israel
• About the whole ancient world
• About the whole world; all of human history
•About YHWH (« Yahweh », i.e. the LORD)
• About what Yahweh has done to save his world

9. IT’S TIME FOR THE WORLD TO
BE RESCUED
“Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go from your country …and your father’s
house to the land that I will show you.
I will make of you a great nation, and I will
bless you, and make your name great, so
that you will be a blessing. I will bless those
who bless you, and the one who curses
you I will curse; and in you all the families
of the earth shall be blessed.”
(Genesis 12.1-3)
“Look toward heaven and count the
stars, if you are able to count them.”
Then [Yahweh] said to him, “So shall your
descendants be.”
(Gn. 15.5)
“I will make you exceedingly fruitful …and
kings shall come from you.
I will establish my covenant between me
and you, and your offspring after you
throughout their generations, for an
everlasting covenant, to be God to you
and to your offspring after you. And I will
give to you and …your offspring … all the
land of Canaan, for a perpetual holding;
and I will be their God.”
(Gn. 17.6-8)
10. THE PROMISE…
• A new « world » (i.e. « Canaan »)
• Innumerable descendants (= « new
humanity »)
• Source of « blessing » for all nations
• Everlasting « covenant »
• Binding agreement on Yahweh’s part
to always be faithful to Abraham’s
offspring (i.e. the nation of « Israel »)
14. THE PARTNERSHIP

…I will raise up your offspring after
you …I will establish the throne of
his kingdom forever.
I will be a father to him, and he

…Your house and your kingdom
shall be made sure forever before
me; your throne shall be
established forever.”
2 Samuel 7.12-16

EXPANDED…
•Original promise
•New land, new people, everlasting
covenant btw Yahweh & Abraham’s
descendants
•UPDATE
•a descendant of David will always
rule over the offspring of Abraham…
and the whole world
19. THE PROMISE EXPANDED
“He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord has [the kings of the nations] in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
“I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.”
I [i.e. the king of Israel] will tell of the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron,
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
(Psalm 2.4-9)
20. THE DREAM
• The Creator will establish a new creation, his kingdom of healing
justice, which he will rule through the king of Israel, the nation
who is the new humanity which will demonstrate genuine
humanity to all the nations of the earth. The land of Israel will be
a new Eden, gradually expanding to cover the entire earth with
the “knowledge of the glory of the Lord”. Justice and peace shall
be the norm and even the created order itself – the entire
cosmos – will burst out in joyful praise to the Creator for his
goodness and for the sheer delight of being alive.
• “…the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” (Is. 55.12)
21. « SIN » IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
• NOT primarily individual acts of immorality
• Wrong god = Idolatry (and the behaviour associated with it and
flowing from it)
• Wrong way to be human = Failure to live up to the calling to be God’s
nation amidst the pagan nations of the world
• “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought
you to myself. Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my
treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, but you shall be
for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation…” (Exodus 19.4-6)
• Wrong way of being in relationship to YHWH = Faithlessness to the
covenant (as embodied in the law of Moses)
24. CONSEQUENCES
OF EXILE
“Here we are, slaves to this day—
slaves in the land that you gave to
our ancestors to enjoy its fruit and
its good gifts. Its rich yield goes to
the kings whom you have set over
us because of our sins; they have
power also over our bodies and
over our livestock at their pleasure,
and we are in great distress.”
(Nehemiah 9.36-37)
25. CONSEQUENCES OF EXILE
• No LAND; even when back in land, dominated by pagan empires
• No KING
• No BLESSING; the idea of Israel being the special people of the Creator has
become a bad joke
• “You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those
around us. You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock
among the peoples. All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has
covered my face…” (Ps. 44.13-15)
• Israel has broken the covenant; Yahweh abandoned his temple (cf. Ezekiel 10-11)
and, by the time of John the Baptist, has been « gone » for 600 years…
• If there is no hope for Israel, there is no hope for the world…
