Isaiah 7,8,9 - Daily Summary

 Hello!

Isaiah 7: 25 verses

 Isaiah 7 is an interesting chapter. It starts when two nations near Judah (Isaiah is a prophet to Judah) that being the 10 separate tribes of Israel and Aram, attacked Judah, they failed. Ahaz (the king of Judah) and his people were afraid so the Lord told Isaiah to strengthen Ahaz. The Lord says that Ephraim (a tribe of Israel in the north) will shatter in six and a half decades. He says that their enemies will be punished and the Lord will bring a Savior called Immanuel who will be wise, but when He is born, Israel and Aram will have fallen. He also Assyria will crush the northern kingdom, which even Isaiah lived to see.

Isaiah 8: 22 verses

To comfort Judah again, (because Judah is impatient for the end of their enemies) God gives Isaiah a child, and before that child can speak, Israel and Aram's wealth will be taken away by Assyria - the instrument of God to punish the wicked tribes. God also warns us not to get advice from the wicked but from God and follow God's instructions so we do not fall into darkness and gloom.

Isaiah 9: 21 verses

Isaiah 9 is about redemption from said darkness. God will show to those in darkness a great light - a child who will be the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. The Lord will accomplish this: an everlasting reign  with justice and righteousness. However, there will also be judgement on the wicked, and they who are arrogant will be punished.

BCN 2025 - Kasihilah Tuhan dan Pimpinan Roh Kudus

 Hello! It's been four months since the last blog. When I started a year ago, one of the first blogs was about BCN 2024. It is the next year already, and now we have BCN 2025. This will be a full summary - last time we did it in 3 parts.  Introduction - What is BCN? BCN, or Bible Camp Nasional (Bible Camp National) is a 3-day 2-night event held by Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia. While most people who attend are from GRII, everyone can join, though it is limited to grades four to seven. Since it is held in June and after the time students typically graduate from a grade, a "seventh grader" means a sixth grader who had recently graduated, and is now considered a seventh grader, for example. BCN is a summer camp, with its main focus on teaching the Bible to children. Before grade four, most people go to Bible Trip , and after grade seven to  NRETC. BCN has seventeen sessions (sermons), this year over a dozen speakers. The event costs 800,000 rupiahs to enter for  earl...

People like to say "Jesus is coming soon", and it's incorrect: Argument Series #1

 Currently, a lot of people has reacted to the tension between the United States and Iran by saying "The end times are soon". Not only do they say this because of the "war", but also because of technologies such as artificial intelligence and Neuralink. In this post I want to challenge this claim. Of course, we shouldn't even try to say "this is near the end times", this is misleading, none of us know when, and we cannot even say that it is vaguely soon. Nevertheless, I will still bring up other points. I will go one by one for each claim. #1: The Iran-US-Israel controversy conflict is a sign of the End Times Many claim that chapters like Ezekiel 38, which speaks about Israel and surrounding powers at war, point to today's conflict. There are several approaches when it comes to interpreting Biblical verses. One of them is covenant theology, which is the reformed approach in this area. God has an Old Covenant, which is with the nation of Israel, and...

Chapel SKC Grade 7 #1

Wednesday 23 July Chapel, SKC, Grade VII #1 By Roy Pangemanan Introduksi Katekismus Heidelberg/Introduction of Heidelberg Catechism A catechism is like a theological explanation usually in the format of Question and Answer and is oral teaching. There are many catechisms, one of them is the Heidelberg Catechism. Personally, I already heard about the name Heidelberg Cathechism once but never knew anythung about it until this Wednesday. Heidelberg is a city in Germany, but at the time it was in the Holy Roman Empire. (The speaker did not say that at the time it was under the Holy Roman Empire, but I added that, he only said that the government was different). The church had just undergone the Reformation and many wanted to know about the Bible, but still needed some direction or explanation. Thus, Frederick III, that governed the area, who was Reformed (Reformed = Sola Scriptura), who was an "elector", commissioned Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus to make a catechism. The ...
