Old Testament Topics and Doctrines
|
Bold for doctrines which are not finished; partially bold for those begun but much work still to be
done on them:
This tells you which subjects and doctrines I have covered in which books; I am working as quickly as I can to
place all of this on the Internet, so if you are looking for something which is not posted yet, please email me.
I have just begun to place doctrines in here with a link to their online location, and I have also begun to list any
doctrines, charts or maps found within them as sub-points, so to speak.
Doctrines which I need to place: Omniscience of God (ref. in NIV Joshua 22:22 footnote). The Trinity (covered
as perhaps Yehowah in the Trinity in Deut. 5:11). See the Doctrine of the Deity of the Holy Spirit, found in
Judges 16:20 for some material. Also, the Doctrine of Tongues; the Doctrine of Grace;
In Judges 4:4, I began to take note of Short Doctrines which are doctrines, generally less than ten points long
and placed right in with the text, point-by-point. It appears as though I have, for a reasonably long time (maybe
since Joshua), included short topics which are a part of the exegesis.
At some point, I would like to introduce the Doctrine of the Topology of Jerusalem (Psalm 68:16?);
I am thinking that I ought to look at the gospel in the Psalms and the gospel in Isaiah (as well as other books).
Doctrines and Topics to be later Covered
1. Dispensations. God chose Israel to write and preserve His Word (Psalm 99:7). For those who do not
believe in dispensations, they ignore completely the Bible that they carry around with them—the one which
reads Old Testament and New Testament (Old Covenant and New Covenant). That is the very essence
of dispensational thought is an old and new covenant between God and man.
2. Prayer. I should include things, e.g., great prayers, like that of Moses for the people of Israel, or Abraham
concerning the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, or Samson at the end of Judges 15, or Manoah’s wife.
3.

43. Distinguishing between the Horites and the Hivites. [this is not there but needs to be!!! I referred back
to this from Joshua 9:7]. Gen. 36:20
44. Do a short bit on Enaim in Gen. 38:14. [From ZPEB: this is probably identical to Enam, which is found in

Oriental Heritage."
3. The Placement of the Tabernacle Furniture (alluded to in 1Sam. 3:3). Ex. 3:18
4. Somewhere in these passages I need to deal with signs and wonders and miracles (the differences, their
words themselves, etc.). P. 88 in “When Skeptics Ask.” Also, note that they are not found much in Genesis
because man was so close to his creation in time. He had the word of truth passed on verbally. Ex. 3:20
4:8, 21

Moses. (See “Treasuries of Bible Times” p. 80).

64. Seventy elders (Ex. 24:1)
65. Worship (Ex. 24:1) and the use of the word shâchâh (worship)

(maybe at Ex. 27:22?) Ex. 25:8–9 Keil and Delitzsch vol.2, p. 135 record that the ask of the covenant fell
into the hands of the Philistines during the lifetime of Eli, which robbed the tabernacle of its holy soul. It (the
tabernacle?) moved from Shiloh to Nob (1Sam. 21:2); however Saul was put under great discipline for some
slaughter (the Gibeonites?) (1Sam. 22:19) and then to Gibeon (1Kings 3:4).

76. The Sabbath is mentioned and dealt with briefly (Ex. 31:13)

forgot how to pronounce it is symbolic of their rebellion against Him (see Psalm 44:20)
78. The Doctrine of the Book of Life—not finished yet!! Found, but not alluded to in Ex. 32:32–33. There
might be several books here. Perhaps a book of Israel with the names of all the nation Israel, with those
who did not trust Yehowah blotted out at their death. There may be a NT book of life whose pages are filled
with believers who will not have their names blotted out (Rev. 3:5). Footnote on Luke 10:20 in NASB.

both found in Ex. 36:3

help. Freeman's p. 87–90. p. 149 in NIV Bible Maybe somewhere around Lev. 5:14 and prior to 6:7

33. The Sabbatical Year Lev. 25:5
34. The Year of Jubilee Lev. 25:10
35. JEPD (documentary/form hypothesis) mentioned in Lev. 26 intro. I can't find where else this might be;
