Possible discussion questions for old testament history

ayyyyy!

What do you guys think of these?

-what does old testament history teach us about the nature of God?

-did Israel keep the mosaic covenant? what were the results?

-old testament history is valuable because it teaches us about the history behind events in Israel, teaches us about God’s relationship with Israel, and foreshadows the coming of Christ. Note: this is from a Christian interpretation. Do you agree or disagree? if so, why?

King Solomon Aesthetic || Riches, Wisdom, Power

 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.  And God said to him, “Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right,  behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.  I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days.

The Law books of the Old Testament || Summary

Hurrah :) Here is a summary. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are meant to communicate how God engages with Israel, makes a way to interact with them through the Law and the Sacrifices, cares for them, and plans to bring the whole world to Him through them (foreshadowing to Jesus.)

Hope this helps with the questions! I’d love to hear your thoughts!
