Dr. A U George (Pastor, Peaceway Community Church in Dallas) Salvation through Jesus Christ is the most important subject that the bible presents (John 20:31). Preserving faith in perilous times and preparing for the coming of the Lord are integral parts of Christian life. The book of Hebrews portrays Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2) as well as the danger of neglecting this great salvation (Hebrews 2:3). However, apostasy will be an important phenomenon of the end time (1 Timothy 4:1). The apostle Paul calls this phenomenon in history as, the perilous times (2 Timothy 3:1). The word perilous describes a society that is barren of virtue but abounding with vices; a society that shows a form of godliness, but denies its power (2 Timothy 3:5). Concerning the end time, Jesus Himself have said; For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24). Would it be possible to preserve our faith when we are confronted with such perilous times? The bible clearly shows that it is possible to preserve our faith and stay focused tdm-a `-c-w-øn A-k- p- cm-b blzp-\w A-h-cp-sS tam- N-\-Øn-\m-bn H-cp \ cm-pm-hns\ Im-Øn-cn- p- Im-e-L- -Ønem-Wv sb-lq-zy-bn-se t_-xv-e-tlan tb-ip P-\n- p- Xv. k-am-\- X-Iƒ G-sd-bp- Im-e-L- -Ønem-Wv \mw C- v Po-hn- p- Xv. tem-i-p-\-x-bn _-lp-`q-cn-]- hpw ssz-\wzn-\ Po-hn-X-Øn A-k- p- -cmwv.

Therefore, unveiling the life and faith of Jewish people would be helpful for a child of God to preserve the faith and stay focused on Jesus Christ. The Jewish history portrays a clear example on how they preserved their faith and spiritual identity. The foundation of Jewish faith and national identity was threatened after Nebuchadnezzar s invasion of Jerusalem. After the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple the Jews could have easily lost their spiritual and national identity, because their pride of being a chosen race came to a complete halt. In addition to the national and religious crisis the people of Judah were displaced into a kingdom where they were vulnerable to various compromises. The book of Daniel demonstrates some of the ordeals the Jews had to encounter in Babylon. The bible forbids the Jews from eating food offered to idols. Therefore, the Jewish young men refrained from eating the food provided in the palace in order to keep themselves from being defiled. When Daniel decided to worship his God despite the royal order to worship the king, he was thrown into the den of lions. When the three Hebrew children refused to worship the Babylonian God, they were thrown into the fiery furnace. The book of Esther further demonstrates that the Jews lived a distinct community life even when they were living far away from their land. As a matter of fact, the Jews refined their faith in Yahweh while they were in Babylon and rejuvenated their national identity in s - bm-ym yw \mw Aw- Ko-I-cn- p-tºmƒ am-{x-am-wv {Inkv-a-kn-s k-tμ-iam-b k-am-[m- \w \-Ωn ]-I-c-s -Sp- Xv. {Inkv-Xp \-Ωn P-\n- p-tºm-gm-wv {In-kv-Xp-hn-s a-t\m-`m-hw _mly-am-bv A-\p-Zn-\-Po-hn-X-Øn {]-I-S-am-Ip- Xv. {In-kv-Xp-hn-s a-t\m-`m-hw F- m-wv? i-{xp sf kv-t\-ln- p-i, \- -bm Xn -sb P-bn- p-i, A-b - mcs\ \n-s -t m-se X-s kv-t\- ln- p-i. a- p- -h-cp-ss Zpx-J-ßfn-epw, I- -ß-fnepw ]- m-fnbmip-i Xp-Sßn-b ss{i-kv-x-h B-Z -i-߃ kz-po-hn-x-øn {]-I-S-am-Ip- -Xm-Wv b-ym - amb {In-kv-Xp-hn-s a-t\m-`mhw. tb-ip-hn-s P-\-\-Øn-\v ti-jam-wv t_-xv-e-tlw N-cn-{X-{]-kn- n B - n- p- Xv.

After the destruction of the Temple the Jews moved their focus from the building, the Temple, to the book, the word. The Jews in Exile satisfied most of their spiritual aspirations by focusing on the word. This is seen in the shift in focus from priests to the scribes in the later part of Judaism. The scribes apparently played a more important role because the ordinary Jew who was born and raised up in Babylon did not read or write Hebrew. Therefore, the Jews needed the help of someone who could teach them the Hebrew Scripture in Aramaic. With the emergence of the new scribal class a scriptural education was emphasized, especially because of their status in Babylon. The new desire for the study of the scripture prompted the Jews to live and lead more orthodox life style and gave them a yearning to return to their land. The renewed interest in the scripture protected the Jews in Babylon from compromising their faith in such a pluralistic context. Certainly such attitude brought opposition and hatred towards the Jews. But their renewed interest in the Scripture and spiritual life became a kind of counter culture for them to stand for it at any cost. Psalm 119 describes the shift from the Temple to the Scripture, in which the psalmist almost places the Scripture equal to God. The Jews in exile probably observed the circumcision laws and practices more stringent than they were before. The mark of circumcision made the Jews distinct from others that constantly reminded Cont.on p 4

4 4 Before saying I Do Rev. Sanil John One of the remarkable characteristics of God s Word is its ability to speak to our contemporary life and decisions with precision and clarity. And so when it comes to the most important decision that most of us will ever make other than our decision to accept Christ as our Savior, selecting a marriage partner, thankfully, the Bible has a lot of wisdom and instructions to give to our lives. There is no chapter or book or section entitled How to select a suitable marriage partner in God s Word. But as it is with most instances of life, the Word of God gives us guidelines and guideposts throughout its pages that have stood the test of time. Having birthed in the heart of a loving heavenly Father, who is the author and creator of marriage, we ignore God s Word at our own peril when it comes to this life altering decision of our lives. First and foremost, the one requirement that is not up for debate biblically is the issue of whether the person is a believer or not. The Word of God is very clear on this matter and a compromise is not allowed under any circumstances. The Apostle Paul states Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14). This very clear directive from God s Word does not allow for compromise or exceptions. If you are already a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ, the first and foremost requirement is that your spouse to be is also a born again believer. I would even add that rather than settling for the most basic requirement of being a believer, we should be regarding his or her relationship with Christ to be the most important criterion. The long term success of a Christian marriage is vitally dependent on both the husband and wife looking to Christ for their help and trusting Him to sustain them. As C.S. Lewis has aptly said When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. Love for Christ becomes the foundation and the driving force behind our love, admiration and respect for each other in a marriage setting. Ensuring that the others persons walk with Christ is solid and of paramount importance for them in their lives, as best as you could assess from a human perspective, should be a top and indispensable priority in the life of a believer. It is in our human nature to be attracted to a person initially based on his or looks and physical appearance. But the Bible cautions us to consider the character of a person and regard it to be more important than their physical traits. As the Word of God states, Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised (Proverbs 31:30). In the Book of Genesis there is an interesting contrast between the selection of Rebekah as Isaac s wife (chap. 24) and Jacob s choice of Rachel, rather than Leah (chap. 29). A closer study of these two choices helps us to understand the consequences of choosing strictly based on looks and outward appearance. Abraham sent his oldest and most trusted servant to select a wife for Isaac, within the guidelines he laid down (Genesis 24:2-4). Abraham wanted to make sure that the wife of Isaac will be a woman who is selected from his own people and not from the Canaanites who were doomed for destruction. The test which the servant wisely devised (24:13-14) was one which revealed the character of the young woman she would be a servant at heart, willing to give water to the stranger and his camels. Jacob, on the other hand, chose a wife for himself. He was unwilling to marry Leah, the older daughter, even though that was the accepted custom in those days (29:26). Jacob favored Rachel over Leah, not because of her character, but because of her looks and her personality (29:17). Jacob made his choice strictly based on looks with no mention of any regard on his part for Rachel s character. As the story unfolds in Genesis, it is very clear to us that Leah was preferred by God to be Jacob s wife over Rachel. Outliving her younger sister, Leah bore many more children to Jacob notably Judah who will become the tribe of the Messiah and Levi who will become the priestly tribe in service to the Lord. Even in death, Leah found honor more than Rachel. Leah was buried in the cave of Machpelah, beside Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah (49:31), while Rachel was buried along the way to Bethlehem (35:19). These two stark different approaches to choosing our spouse illustrate the wisdom of following the advice of Proverbs and God s Word. While it may be physical attraction that first draws you to a person, let it always play a second fiddle to the more important trait of character that often does not fade with the passing of time. Marriage is often described as a marathon and not a sprint and rightfully so. It requires patience and perseverance over the long haul to ensure its success. The book of Proverbs offers a myriad of qualities that characterize a wise husband and these traits A-hn-iz-kv-X-X ]p-e -Øn-b Z-º-Xn-I-fp-sS Zmcp-W A- yw øp- I -Øm-hn-s ap-ºn bm-sxm- pw a- d- n-cn- p- n-. b-ym - B-flo-I D-W -Δn-s e- -W߃ F-s - m-sa- p \mw A-dn- n-cn-t - Ww.

Kind and compassionate (12:10), hardworking (12:11), exercising self-control (12:15), willingness to be corrected and listen to counsel (12:15), truthful (12:17), gentle tongue (12:18), generous (14:21), humble (15:25), faithful and reliable (17:17), integrity (19:1), forgiving (19:11), honest (29:24) are seen as exemplary in the eyes of the Lord. The Bible lists many more desirable qualities in Proverbs that shows again the importance that the Lord gives to the heart of a man or woman. While no potential spouse is perfect in any of these areas, it will serve us good to pay more attention to these qualities than things that might be important even culturally or socially. The way a person treats those who cannot repay them for their kindness or generosity and even his or her parents gives us an early glimpse into how well they function in a relationship setting. If possible, money management and issues such as giving to the Lord should be considered to avoid problems in the future. A person s involvement in their local church and mission and volunteer initiatives give us an understanding to their heart for the body of Christ and His mission in this world. No amount of planning or careful scheming can ever be a substitute for a life of prayer as we seek the will of God for our lives. It is never too early to start praying for the Lord to lead you to the right person. In Genesis, as Abraham sought a wife for his son, the chapter is filled with prayer and looking to the face of God for guidance. No such prayer is seen in the life of Jacob as he desired for a wife. Pray without ceasing for this important decision and even when you feel as though you have prayed enough, pray again. I cannot emphasize enough the need to have the Lord s guidance and leading in this matter. It is also wise to listen to the Godly counsel of your pastors and respect the wishes of your parents as much as possible when it comes to choosing your partner for life. It shows humility on our part to listen and take heed the advice and wisdom of those who have gone down this path before us. Above all, I pray that more than ever, after we have chosen wisely according to the plan of God, our marriages will truly reflect the glory of our God in this world. sf.]n.kn t m_ aounb ao v P\phcn 19\v 1 mw t]-pv Xp-S ]p-c-kv-im-c hn-x-c-w-hpw, an-i- kr- n- Iƒ- p- A-hm -Up-I-fpw hn-x-c-ww snøpw.

In the absence of the Temple, the Jews developed a creative way of coming together probably not exclusively for spiritual matters but all that related to their lives. The Greek word Synagogue simply means coming together. There is no explicit reference for the existence of synagogues during the exile, but there are implicit references in the Bible that shows Synagogues existed. When Ezekiel was in Babylon, elders of different families came together probably to discuss the matters related to the Jews (Ezek 14:1). When Ezra returned to Jerusalem there were formal gatherings which could have later been called the Synagogues. The Synagogues functioned as centers for Jewish learning and social gatherings. The Synagogue gathering consisted of daily prayer and reading of the Scripture. In their daily prayer, they recited scripture (Deut 6:1-9; 11:13-25). The purpose of the recital of the Scripture was to educate every Jew about their national and spiritual identity. In all the trials and tests they underwent, the Jews showed that it is possible to preserve ones faith even in the midst of adverse cultural circumstances. In fact, they demonstrated that it is possible to renew and rejuvenate their faith and spiritual identity even in such a hostile atmosphere. How can we preserve our faith during perilous times and prepare for the coming of the Lord? First, we have to learn God s word and commit our lives to live by what it says (Matthew 28:20). Second, believe that the word of God will walk us through every situation in our life (2 Timothy 3:16; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:105). Third, cultivate a desire to grow in the Lord and reach the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13, 24). Fourth, consistently examine our spiritual life through fasting and prayer and strengthen our relationship with Jesus and fellow believers (2 Corinthians 13:5; Luke 2:52). Fifth, strengthen the weak and support the needy inside and outside the body of Christ (Mark 6:35-41). Sixth, nurture a compassionate heart towards the lost (Matthew 9:35-38). Seventh, pay undivided attention to the coming of the Lord (Matthew 24:36-42; Revelation 19:7). Perilous times may be ahead of us. But the Lord will be with us till the end. Jesus said, Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also (John 14:1-3). He will not leave us or forsake us. Cont from p 2 them that they were a special people for God. The institution of circumcision became more popular because it provided the elders an opportunity to educate the younger generation, especially when they did not have the organized institutions such as the Temple. The Jews could have emphasized the Sabbath much more than it used to be before the exile. It gave them the opportunity to demonstrate their exclusivism and religious superiority to the world. When the Jews did not take part in the common festivals of Babylon they must have attracted a lot of attention tijw t]pv 9
