The Notes from the Podcast

Orientalism is a figure of speech in which you need to know the customs and manners used in the lands and Times of the Bible. There are several books on the subject. These are very helpful when understanding the meanings of certain words or groups of words used in the Bible. 

People have said to me at times, isn't the Bible an old fogey book with lots of old customs in mannerisms. Isn't it hard to understand at times? It is sometimes without knowing the customs and manners used in the lands and Times of the Bible. These customs can be understood with some explanation. The first and most important thing to know is that the Bible is an Eastern book written to Eastern people over 2000 years ago. We can learn the truths made available in the Bible by recognizing these. I will try to point them out when I see them as I teach.

I'm sure you can appreciate that words have changed over time. Even words we use today have different meanings than just ten years ago. But when you know that Orientalism is a figure of speech, you need to know the customs and manners used in the lands and Times of the Bible. There are several books on the subject.

But when you know Orientalism, the customs and manners used in the lands and times of the Bible, you can see the meaning of the words. It's just as simple. Some of our usage of words has changed their meaning in the last few years. When we use the keys to interpreting the Bible, we can tap into the resources for a more abundant life.

Give a listen to this teaching and you'll see what I'm talking about., the customs and manners that were used in the lands and times of the Bible you can know the meaning as you continue to use the keys on how the Bible interprets itself.
