Sabbath School Net Posted on October 3, 2019 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 29, 2019avatar

But Banza, his face permanently disfigured, clung to life and … Continue reading –>

Friday: Further Thought ~ Making Sense of History: Zerubbabel and Ezra

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 3, 2019 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 28, 2019avatar
Spectacles on Bible

Further Thought:  Read Ellen G. White, “Ezra, the Priest and Scribe”, pages 607–617, in Prophets and Kings. Consider Ezra’s diligent work: “Ezra became a mouthpiece for God, educating those about him in the principles that govern heaven. During the remaining years of his life, whether near the court of the king of Medo-Persia or at Jerusalem, his … Continue reading –>

Thursday: Importance of Education

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 2, 2019 by Sabbath School LessonOctober 3, 2019avatar
Image © Classic Bible Art Coll. Goodsalt.com

Read Ezra 7:6 and Ezra 7:10. What do these texts teach us about the importance of proper religious education? Ezra’s wholehearted devotion to God and his decision to study, practice, and teach the Word of God (Ezra 7:6, Ezra 7:10) prepared him for greater ministry in Israel. The biblical text literally states that he devoted himself to the studying, doing/making, and … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: Artaxerxes’ Decree

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 1, 2019 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 28, 2019avatar
Image © Lifeway Collection Goodsalt.com

Read Ezra 7:11-28. What were the components of the king’s decree? Why were these instructions important for the people of Israel? The decree of Artaxerxes resembles Cyrus’s first decree. The king counsels everyone who is willing, especially from the priestly lines, to make the journey to Jerusalem. Although according to the Murashu historical documents, the majority … Continue reading –>

1: Making Sense of History: Zerubbabel and Ezra – Teaching Plan

Sabbath School Net Posted on October 1, 2019 by Michael FrackerOctober 1, 2019avatar

Key Thought: In seeking to fulfill the Christian mission, we should look to the church as an organized community of believers. By working in a community of faith, we can bless those around us. October 5, 2019 1. Have a volunteer read Daniel 9:2, Ezra 4:1-7. Ask class members to share a thought on what … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: The Second Return of the Exiles

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 30, 2019 by Sabbath School LessonSeptember 28, 2019avatar
Image © Providence Collection Goodsalt.com

In Ezra 7:1-10 and Ezra 8:1-14, we see that King Artaxerxes I allows Ezra to return to Jerusalem (the year is 457 B.C). and to take with him anyone who would like to return. Not much is known about the relationship between the king and Ezra, or whether Ezra worked for the court. Ezra 8 lists the heads … Continue reading –>

1: Making Sense of History: Zerubbabel and Ezra – Singing with Inspiration

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 30, 2019 by Corinne KnopperSeptember 30, 2019avatar
Playing notes of hymns

Hymn 225, “God Is Working His Purpose Out”, portrays the messengers God uses to work out history for his people in the prophecies. We find that Ezra is not happy with what he has learned in the world’s universities and is looking  “To the Name That Brings Salvation”, Hymn 646. On Thursday, Ezra devoted himself … Continue reading –>

1: Making Sense of History: Zerubbabel and Ezra – Discussion starters

Sabbath School Net Posted on September 30, 2019 by Joyce GriffithSeptember 30, 2019avatar

First return of the exiles. Imagine a prophecy so precise as the one predicting that for 70 years, God’s people would live in desolation, and then they would be released. Now it was almost time for that promise to be fulfilled. Why was Daniel upset?  Should he have been? Do you and I ever feel … Continue reading –>

The first group of returnees received the task of rebuilding the temple of God. We will study about the opposition to the building of the temple in a later lesson. Now, we will discuss the succession of Persian kings during the temple’s prolonged construction and the rebuilding of Jerusalem. It is important to know the … Continue reading –>

Sunday: The First Return of Exiles

Image © Review and Herald Publishing Assn. Goodsalt.com

Read Jeremiah 25:11-12 and Jeremiah 29:10 and Daniel 9:1-2. When did the first return of the exiles happen? What prophecy was the return fulfilling? The Lord influenced Cyrus to allow the first return, in fulfillment of Jeremiah’s 70-year prophecy. Jeremiah had written that the land of Judah would lie desolate for 70 years under Babylon (this happened, from 606/605 B.C. to … Continue reading –>
