*OT 501*
*January 17, 2008*
*Ethical Image of God: *
Has to do with holiness, righteousness, truth
Kline: (quote read during the lecture) “The Bible includes functional, formal, and ethical components.
Ethical glory is the reflection of the holiness, righteousness, and truth of God.”
Only possible if one has put one’s faith in Who He really is.
If one’s view of God is distorted or if one is not in touch with God, the ethical image of God will also be distorted.
State of simple righteousness
/posse non peccare/ – to be able not to sin
condition Adam and Eve found themselves
State of confirmed righteousness
/non posse peccare-- /not able to sin
If Adam and Eve had not sinned … would’ve entered state of confirmed righteousness.
glorification of the body (very speculative)
*Fallen Image*
Retention of the Image
The Physical ~/ Formal Image is retained.
The Functional Image is retained as well (Rom 3:23).
The Ethical image is lost (all have sinned and fallen short… )
Distortions of the Image
*Royal* (Rev 11:18) – in their exercise of rule over the planet, people abuse and destroy it.
*Priestly *– Adam and Eve were priests of sort of watching over the Garden of Eden as a temple … as human we have failed in our care of the earth … and there are false priests.*
*
*Prophetic* – there are false religions (e.g.
Muhammad’s false revelation)
*Warrior* -- Jihad, Holy War (cherem) which means to set apart for destruction.
There can only be Holy War where the Lord commands it.
He only commands it where He is waging war.
Have it in the conquest and in the /eschaton/ Revelation 19.
Jihadist are not waging holy war.
There is also spiritual warfare.
Ephesians 6.
There is no neutral zone.
Not a bad thing to pray for protection – because the enemy will try to get through to us.
“Just war” There is Holy warfare and there is war ~/ warfare of judgment.
Jeremiah 18 (Potter’s Wheel) … If I intend to bless and build up a nation and it turns away from me, I will judge that nation and vice versa.
*God judges all nations*.
Genesis 18:25-26.
God raises up one nation to judge another.
Questions that should be asked to determine whether a war is just or not.
1) Is there suitable provocation?
2) Does the punishment fit the crime?
Is it proportionate?
3) Is God bringing forth Judgment?
Not always easy to determine.
OT: has a lot of this information because of the form of the kingdom in the OT is a nation-state.
NT: the form of the kingdom is the church and the church is in any nation.
e.g. the Iraq War … Saddam Hussein’s regime was an unjust regime … does that mean that USA is the apple of God’s eye?
Just because the Lord raises up one nation to judge another doesn’t mean that nation is the “apple of God’s eye”.
As in the case of Habakkuk, sometimes the nation God uses to judge another nation is even worse than the nation it is sent to judge.
Isaiah 2:12 … The Lord is set against everything that is proud and self-exalting – especially those who put their trust in their wealth and military power.
Another example is the 911 crisis and the toppling of the twine towers.
If God is going to judge a nation, he is probably going to judge it for reasons like those put forth in this verse.
*Cause of Distortions*
Hosea 9:10 (refers back to Num 25) Idolatry is a cause of distortion
Baal Peor
Ps 135:15-18, Isaiah 6:9-10
Rom 1:22-24
Principle: We become what we worship!
2 Cor 3:18
*OT Evidence of Human Composition*
* *
* Spirit ruach*
Gen 2:7 breath /nesharah/
living /chai/
It’s ambiguous whether the breath in Genesis 2:7 is the Holy Spirit or simply God’s breath.
Job 33:4 Elihu
Spirit (/ruach/)
breath (/nesharah/)
Ezek 36:27 (important verse … we need the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to help us keep God’s commandments).
NT Saints have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a way that OT Saints did not.
In Rom 7 Paul is speaking of a man under the law … but we need the Holy Spirit to enable us to be obedient to the law of God.
Hebrew preposition that is used almost all the time is “al” … the Spirit of God came upon people but didn’t dwell within them.
He came upon Saul, David, etc.
No one is called a “temple” in the OT either.
Gen 6:3
John 14:17
John 7:38-39
1 Thess 5:23
*God’s Involvement in our Creation*
Adam & Eve
Others
Job 31:15
Ps 139:13-16
Eph 2:10 (Good way to start the day is to ask the Lord to lead us into the works that we really ought to be doing … the works that he has prepared for us to do.
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (This statement is true of all of us)
*Redemption ~/ Restoration of Image*
Loss of God’s Presence ~/ Face: Once human beings enter into a sin state there is a separation from God as indicated in Gen 3:8.
So, as a result, there is fear whenever the Lord is present.
This is as it should be, because his holiness would consume us.
panin
/ruach/ /yom/
spirit ~/ wind day
Kline takes this as the Spirit of the Day
In Akkadian /umu/1 day
/umu/2 storm
/yom/1 day
/yom/2 storm
This is a storm theophany.
God appears as he does on Sinai.
Read God at Sinai (chapter 5).
