Old Testament

Yes, the Ten Commandments are a set of moral and religious principles in the Bible that were given by God to the Israelites through Moses. They serve as a code of conduct and rules for the Israelites to follow in their relationship with God and others.

The special box used to hold the tablets of the Ten Commandments is called the Ark of the Covenant. It is a sacred chest described in the Bible as containing the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God. The Ark was believed to be a powerful symbol of God's presence among the Israelites.

Bible Prophets were direct communication between humans and God. Bible prophets spoke directly to God and served as mediators and told people what God said. Then when Jesus Christ was born he became the mediator and still is to this day. Jesus can take all of our sins and forgive them, he can talk to us through the Bible, and we can talk to him through prayer. Jesus takes care of our sins because he loves us, if it were not for him dying on the cross we may never be close to God. Jesus is the bridge from man to God, this was a road that was there in the Garden of Eden, but this road collapsed when humans chose Sin over God through temptation from the Devil. This separated us from God and Jesus, God's only begotten Son restored that bond between us and the Father who is in Heaven. If we believe in Jesus and trust in him and ask him for forgiveness we will go to Heaven with Jesus the Savior and God the Father.

The name "I Am" signifies God's eternal presence, faithfulness, and unchanging nature. It conveys the idea that God is the one who is and always will be, and that His promises are trustworthy and reliable.

Laban tricked Jacob into marrying Leah by giving her to Jacob instead of Rachel on their wedding night, as Jacob had intended. Laban did this by having Leah wear a veil and keeping her identity hidden until the morning, when it was revealed to Jacob that he had married Leah instead of Rachel.

You don't. Covenant Eyes is integrated with your Operating System, the only way to get around it is by calling in to Covenant Eyes and asking for an unistall code and using that code to unistall it.

It depends on what you believe. I believe the old Testament Prophets were writing about more than just social and political issues of their day. Isaiah for example writes about social issues of his day (chp 1-39) but then in the last 27 chapters are filled with consolation and hope as Isaiah reveals God's promise of future blessing through His Messiah.

In short no, I think the OT prophets didn't always understand the full meaning of their prophecies.

The Israelites believed that the covenant made with God at Mount Sinai, which established them as God's chosen people and laid out the guidelines for their relationship with Him, was reaffirmed by the giving of the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were seen as a key part of this covenant, outlining the moral and ethical principles that the Israelites were expected to uphold.

It's not clear that he was Jewish (Talmud, Bava Batra 15-16).

In the 'land of Moriah' on 'one of the mountains' (Genesis 22:2). Evidence places Jerusalem's temple in the same area (2 Chronicles 3:1/ 2 Samuel 24:25 / 1 Chronicles 21:18) and Jewish tradition places it on the same mountain where Abraham began his sacrifice . The 'Dome of the Rock' Muslim temple is now said to be built on this site.

A Testament is a solemn covenant. The gospel is the Lords Testament (covenant) of salvation. It is an agreement between God and his people in which God makes certain promises and requires certain behaviour from them in return

The Old Testament was written by multiple authors over a period of centuries, but tradition attributes its authorship primarily to figureheads such as Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others. The exact number of authors is unknown, but scholars recognize different sources and traditions integrated within the text.

In most English translations of the Old Testament, Jehovah is translated as "LORD" with all capital letters to distinguish it as a substitute for the Hebrew name for God, YHWH. This tradition originated from the practice of avoiding vocalizing the sacred name of God.

King David had many sons, as he had several wives and concubines. And the son that followed king David on the throne was king Solomon.

The name Joseph is Hebrew. The Pharaoh did not give Joseph a Hebrew name, he gave him an Egyptian name, which was Zaphnathpaaneah.

Genesis 41:45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

Psalm 100 is known as a Psalm of joy and reverence. It is often called the "Psalm of Thanksgiving" because it focuses on praising God with joy and thankfulness for His steadfast love and faithfulness.

God promised Abraham a land and a "seed" (son). One way that God kept that promise was to give Abraham a son named Isaac (even though he was too old to have children). He also kept His promise to give the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants. The New Testament says that these promises had an even greater fulfillment when Jesus came. It teaches that Jesus is the son of Abraham through whom all the nations of the earth would be blessed. The New Testament also says that Jesus would not only rule over the land of Israel but over the whole earth.

Is Moses in heaven with God?* No, not yet. Though, Moses will be in heaven soon.

In Daniel 4:33, King Nebuchadnezzar certainly does seem to have been temporarily struck with a strange disease: "The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws."

In understanding this, we should recognise that scholars (for example, Leonard J Greenspoon, author of Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period, The Oxford History of the Biblical World, p322) say that the Book of Daniel was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel. The author was not writing history and was aware that these things never happened and that the hero of the story never lived, and his intended audience had the same knowledge, even if the book eventually came to be accepted as historical. The popularity of the book came in part from the way it mocked and ridiculed the enemies of the Jews and in part from its demonstration of the power of the Jewish God. King Nebuchadnezzar never ate grass like an ox and never grew his hair like eagle's feathers, so he was struck down with no strange disease to cause this.

Initially in 740 BCE the northern part was absorbed into the Assyrian Empire. Then in 722 BCE, the southern part and capital Samaria was absorbed. The aristocracy was deported to Assyria where it was used to rule another part of the empire, and the aristocracy there brought in to take on ruling the northern 10 tribes. The Assyrians use this technique so that conquered territories did not have sympathetic aristocracies which might promote rebellions. The Babylonians copied this technique when they later took over Judah and Benjamin in the south, deporting the aristocracy to Babylon and importing a foreign aristocracy to rule them.

No. Ascetics voluntarily abstain from the comforts and pleasures of this life in order to combat vice and cultivate personal holiness. King Solomon was know for his wealth and wives not to mention his wisdom.
