LESSON #21

LESSON OBJECTIVES

• Study "The Ways of God" to give an example regarding how you can take a topic or word in the Bible and study the given topic or word using Hebraic study practices as outlined in Lesson #17 - Lesson Objectives

• Understand that the Hebrew language was given by God to communicate spiritual truths

• Give examples how various words, themes and Biblical truths are interconnected and interrelated to each other. By understanding that various words, themes, and Biblical truths are interconnected and interrelated to each other and how they are interconnected and interrelated, you can begin to greatly expand your understanding of the scriptures.

• This method of study to understand the scriptures is a Hebraic study approach. This is contrast to a Greek study approach which examines the Bible on a verse by verse, chapter by chapter method.

• Learn that a disciple is 'a student'

• Learn that the great commission is making disciples (students) of all nations

• Learn that walking in the ways of God means keeping God's commandments and statutes so that we can be a witness to others through our lifestyle

• Learn that the Hebrew word for walk, "Halak," means 'to live following a manner of life'

THE WAY(S) OF GOD - Part V

===>  Yeshua/Jesus taught the disciples and people in the cities (Matthew 11:1)

===>  Yeshua/Jesus is the Teacher of righteousness sent by God --- (John 3:2)

           Yeshua/Jesus taught:

           a.  Mark 4:1-2 ........ in parables
           b.  Mark 6:1-2 ........ in synagogues
           c.  Mark 6:33-34 .... the people
           d.  Luke 11:1 .......... How to pray

           --->  Teaching is a part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20)

                    The Holy Spirit teaches us (Luke 12:12 = John 14:16-17,26)

                    Yeshua/Jesus will fulfill the Great Commission during the millennium (Isaiah 2:2-4).

           --->  Disciple = Greek = #3101. #3101 = "a learner or pupil, student."
                    #3101 from #3129 = "to learn, understand"

                    The believers are disciples of God (Acts 6:1-7, 11:19-21,26)

                    A student is to study:

                    (Proverbs 15:28 = study = #1897 = Hebrew word "Hagah")

                    #1897 = hagah = "To meditate, to speak, to study, to utter"
                    (II Timothy 2:15, I Peter 3:15)

                    1.  To speak:  (Psalm 35:28, 37:30, 71:24, Proverbs 8:7)
                    2.  To meditate: Meditate = "to speak to oneself in a low voice"
                         (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-2, 63:5-6, 77:12-13)

===>  Psalm 119 will tell us how to walk in the ways of God.

           A.  Psalm 119:1 --- "Walk in the law (#8471) of the Lord ..."

           B.  Psalm 119:2 --- "Keep his testimonies ..." (John 14:15)
                Testimony = Strong's word #5713 = Hebrew word "Edah"
                #5713 = "Edah from #5707 = Hebrew word "Ayd" = A witness

           C.  Psalm 119:3 --- "Seek him with your whole heart ..."
                 (Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 22:35-38)

                Psalm 119:3 --- "Walk (#1980) in His ways (#1870) ..."
                Walk = Strong's word #1980 = Hebrew word "Halak"

===>  #1980 = Halak = "to live following a manner of life, to follow the precepts of God, to go with, to have intercourse with, to go after or follow, to go as water, to be poured out, to go forward, to go on , to go on adding, to cause to flow as water"

           1.  "To live following a manner of life, to follow God's precepts"

                a.  Deuteronomy 19:9 ------- "To walk (#1980) in his ways (#1870) ..."
                b.  Deuteronomy 28:1-2,9 --- "To walk (#1980) in his ways (#1870) ..."
                c.  Psalm 81:13 -------------- "To walk (#1980) in his ways (#1870) ..."

           2.  "to go with, to have intercourse with"
                (Proverbs 13:20, Job 31:5, 34:8 = walk with = #1980)

           3.  "to go after or follow" (Genesis 24:5,8, 37:17, Deut 4:3, I Kings 14:8, Jeremiah 2:8)

           4.  "to go as water, to be poured out" (Is 8:6-7 = Go = #1870; Joel 3:18 = Flow = #1870)

           5.  "to go forward, to go on, to go on adding"

                a.  Proverbs 4:18 ----- more and more = #1980
                b.  Judges 4:24 ------- prospered = #1980
                c.  I Samuel 14:19 ---- went on = #1980
                d.  Esther 9:4 --------- went out = #1980
