Theology!
Now what are your assumptions, thoughts, ideas when you hear that word??
Big books that only weird people read
Academic and out of tune with reality.
Endless discussions on minuta
Facebook debates.
All that is wrong with the christian faith.
Prideful
I wanna take theology out of the castle chambers and show its relevance
to the truck driver.
The father of 4
The person who hasn’t read a book in 3 years.
What it is??
God — logos
Study and knowledge of God
We practice theology whenever we pray, Worship, think or speak of god
It’s been said that the Bible is like a body of water in which a child may wade and an elephant may swim.
The youngest Christian can read the Bible with profit, for the Bible’s basic message is simple.
But we can never exhaust its depth.
Everyone is a theologian
Men, you’re a theologian in your home.
You’re called to convey knowledge of God to your kids, wife.
Many struggle because there are many layers to theology
systematic
practical
historic
biblical
What is the goal of theology??
The glory of God
It can be viewed in 2 ways — the beauty and presence of God.
Raymond Ortlund Jr. said, “The glory of the Lord . . . is God himself becoming visible, God bringing his presence down to us, God displaying his beauty before us.”
I wanna show the goal and the necessity of theology at one time
Goal is the presence
Theology helps us understand that.
Big Idea
It’s my goal to enlarge your vision of god, the world and what God is in the business of accomplishing
Biblical theology of presence of God
Many read the Bible as tid-bits of info.
Random collected letters and books.
We miss the unity of the Bible.
We’re gonna look at
Garden Temple
Tabernacle/temple
Walking temple
City temple
What it means for us in our daily lives
Garden Temple
We open up the scriptures to find a rich theology of the divine presence
Genesis opens up with a vision of creation /Eden itself as a temple.
God and humanity have unhindered relation.
Speaks about God walking in the cool of the day.
Presence of God
This was the original intent and goal of creation.
Man was made for this world.
A few words on Adam and eden.
Eden is delight.
Eden is filled with Gold and onyx, mentioned in — precious stones — we’ll see in a little again.
Its a garden.
There is a tree of life at the center.
Adam is a priest — work it and keep it.
The first word is abad in Hebrew, and it basically means work.
But that’s not the only way it’s translated into English.
Sometimes it’s translated “service.”
So work is service.
Its also a word that means worship.
Apparently, work and worship can be one and the same thing.
We like to separate the too.
One happens at work the other happens at church.
Genesis gives us a vision that all of life could be one of worhsip.
The Hebrew verbs ‘ābad, ‘to serve, till’, and šāmar, ‘to keep, observe, guard’, — we’ll see in a little.
As Adam and Eve were to begin to rule over and subdue the earth, it is plausible to suggest they were to extend the geographical boundaries of the Garden until Eden extended throughout and covered the whole earth.29hat
the opening chapters of Genesis enable us to reconstruct God’s blueprint for the earth.
God intends that the world should become his dwelling place.
Alexander, T. D.
The Fall tragically alters the divine presence dwelling In an intimate way on the earth
From now on, Gods presence is mainly associated with heaven.
Humans are led out east of eden.
2 Cherubim are placed guarding the entrance to the garden
But the goal of the scripture as we’ll see is for the restoration of Eden on a global scale.
In other words.
The presence of God to dwell with humanity again.
Tabernacle
God doesnt give up.
He wants to dwell among the people.
Garden of Eden was the first archetypal temple, and that it was the model for all subsequent temples.
Beale
-the responsibility of “guarding” the garden temple: God “stationed the cherubim … to guard the way to the tree of life” ()
God commanded Moses to make two statues of cherubim and stationed them on either side of the ark of the covenant in the holy of holies
-The tree of life itself was probably the model for the lampstand placed directly outside the holy of holies: it looked like a small, flowering tree with seven protruding branches from a central trunk
- “on the walls of the temple round about” and on the wood doors of the inner sanctuary were “carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers” (6:29, 32, 35); “carved pomegranates”
- The entrance to Eden was from the east (), which was also the direction from which one entered the tabernacle and later temples of Israel.
the Old Testament temple was a microcosm of the entire heaven and earth
God commissions the construction of a special tent, the manufacture of which is described in considerable detail in the second half of Exodus.
1.the outer court represented the habitable world where humanity dwelt;
(2) the holy place was emblematic of the visible heavens and its light sources;
(3) the holy of holies symbolized the invisible dimension of the cosmos, where God and his heavenly hosts dwelt
: “And he built the sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he founded forever.”
.
Likewise, both writers understand the garments of the high priest as symbolizing the cosmos
Gold and onyx - same matieral as eden.
In we are told that God constructed the cosmos (heaven and earth) by wisdom (ḥokmâ), understanding (tĕbunâ), and knowledge (daʿat).
