We'll be completing our two-part coverage of John's First Epistle, considered by some to be the Sanctum Sanctorum (Holy of Holies) of the New Testament.? Unlike his gospel (theology) or the book of Revelation (eschatology), John's three letters are like family letters and are written in straightforward and loving but hard-hitting prose to those his fellow believers.? John speaks to anyone who wants to know more about a personal relationship and fellowship with Jesus.??
Last week John's focus was on "God is Light."? This week, it's on God is Love."??Next week we'll examine John's Second and Third Epistles,? Blessings, Ray

Thank you for your participation in Term 2
#zechariah
G'day all,
Well, our very challenging two terms on eschatology - the study of the End Times - has now come to a close with the completion of the formidable book of Zechariah.? You can see why Zechariah is known as both the Apocalypse of the Old Testament and the most Messianic of the Old Testament Prophets.? It should also be clear why it is the most frequently quoted Minor Prophet book in the New Testament.
It may also be evident now why most modern Protestants and almost all Catholics avoid the book as if afraid of catching the plagues that it discusses.? 
It has been a loaded two terms as we went through the book of Revelation in Term 1, along with Daniel 9, Hosea 5:15, and many others of the 808 verses that it cross-references with.? That was followed during the intermission with a look at the End Time battles covered by Psalm 83 and Ezekiel Chapters 38-39.? Term 2 started with three sessions on Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians before moving on to the book of Jude and Peter's letters, especially 2 Peter.? Then, of course, we had five weeks being thrilled by Zechariah.
It's been heavy going and may take some time, study, and thinking to come to grips with everything we covered.? All notes are now posted on?
Please, please, please don't hesitate to ask any questions as they arise via email.? Remember, if you have a question the chances are high that others have been wondering the same thing(s).? We have this group discussion board to discuss anything within our group at large, or you can email me directly at ray.sarlin@....? Your questions and comments are greatly appreciated; they are the best feedback that any tutor can receive.? Thanks.
Have we covered everything on eschatology in the Bible?? As Paul might say (and did in Romans 11:11 and Galatians 6:14), "μ??γ?νοιτο" (God forbid!).? We've covered a large number of the 1,800 prophetic End Times verses in the Bible, enough perhaps to begin to comprehend God's overall plan of redemption.? But keep in mind that these events are predicted in 8 times more verses than predict Christ's First Coming.? Also, recall that the ONLY UNFULFILLED PROPHETIC VERSES in the Bible refer to the End Times.? So others will pop up as we study other Old Testament and New Testament books, but they shouldn't be as concentrated as experienced in Terms 1 and 2 this year.
Next week will be a bye ( no class on 2nd July).? Then we'll start another short series on the women in the genealogy of Jesus.? I'll probably skip Eve and even Mary to a degree because we did cover her (and the Three Mary's) earlier.? Most people are also well aware of both from attending church.? But three of the 66 books are specifically about women, and whole chapters have been devoted to others (Bathsheba even wrote a chapter in Proverbs).? You may recall a slide from our introduction to prophets and prophecy as we started Zechariah that listed the female prophets (prophetesses) in the Bible; some of them have very compelling lessons for today.? But you "men's men" shouldn't despair.? This is the Bible that we're studying, so there is always plenty of action!?
So I hope to see you next Thursday week, on 9 July, as we look at John's letters. You'll receive new logins and passwords the week before it starts.
And please [he begs], your feedback is really welcome!
Blessings,
Ray

G'day all,
I hope to see you tomorrow at 11 AM for our fourth session on the challenging but fascinating book of Zechariah.
Videos of the first two sessions are available as follows: - Zechariah Part 1? https://play.soundslides.com/LK35tc0b
- Zechariah Part 2?
Zechariah Part 3 is in process and Part 4 will hopefully be available next week.? I'm having simple problems like finding that if my room door is closed the soundtrack sounds like it was recorded underwater.? Go figure.? No wonder professionals have studios built for purpose.?
Contact details for the two remaining Term 2 sessions are posted below.
Some of you have signed up for Term 3 at U3A.? Thanks.
Blessings,
Ray

G'day all,
A very interesting and insightful question arrived in my email today.? I have blanked out the sender's name.? Here it is:
Hi there Ray hope you are enjoying this beautiful winter weather. Been thinking about our class when you said when the Jews were not obedient to God they suffered and you gave us examples. Can you give an example when the Jew followed and were obedient to God and they prospered? Thank you take care.
Here's my response.
Thanks for the email and the question.? The entire history of the Nation Israel from the time of Moses was obedience followed by disobedience.? The first example of obedience was the very first Passover when the Angel of Death swept through Egypt killing the first-born.? The Israelites obeyed God and sacrificed lambs and painted their lintels with blood so the Angel would pass-over their homes.? They were also obedient in following Moses out of Egypt.? Then they backslid under Moses and they refused to trust in God and enter the Holy land and thus everybody over 20?lost the right to enter Caanan (except for faithful Joshua and Caleb).
The next generation was again obedient (somewhat) under Joshua as they conquered the Promised Land.? I say "somewhat", because despite being ordered by God to kill every one of those in the tribes with giants (Nephelim), they didn't.? Israel has been paying for that disobedience ever since as they battle the descendants of the tribes they were to kill in generation after generation, including today.
Anyway, the obedience of particular note to this week's lesson is that AFTER ZACHARIAH'S VISIONS, the remnant got off their backsides and finished the Temple in two years.? Look at the symmetry, they had dithered for two years before laying the foundation stone when they first returned, then ran out of steam over some 16 years working lackadaisically until Haggai blasted them and Zechariah followed with his sermon a month later.? They then went into high gear and finished the Temple.? Presumably, they were obedient to God for a bit after that as well.? This obedience was rewarded when Jesus was born five centuries later.
One of the points is that God doesn't look at time the way that we do.? Like little children, we tend to want to see our rewards soon after we've done whatever we think we did to deserve them.? God has a bit more patience! :-)
Some might argue that the subjugated Jews over that 500 years probably were obedient and disobedient a few more times as well.? One of the obedient times MIGHT have been the Maccabean Revolt (167-160 BC) that led to Jewish self-rule under the Hasmonean Dynasty (140–37 BC)?for 100 years.? That started with the cleansing and re-dedication of the Temple in 164 BC after three years of battling for freedom from Seleucid Greece (more on that this coming Thursday) that is celebrated every Hanukkah. So some might argue that the rewards for obedience during Zechariah's time might have been the Maccabean success, and the First Coming was related to the good part of their 100-year rule. I have two things to say about that.? (1) God doesn't keep score the way that we do, because He isn't playing games.? (2) See if the three chapters that we study next Thursday don't marry up Zechariah's period with the First Coming.
Sorry.? Probably too much information.
Blessings,
Ray

U3A R09: 37 minute video of book of Zechariah Part 1
#zechariah
G'day all,
This is to advise that the video of Part 1 of our study of Zechariah is now online at?.? It runs for 37 minutes.
As mentioned earlier, the videos will be exported to mpeg4, and made available through Dropbox to you later should you wish to have a copy.
Please feel free to invite friends (or enemies?) to attend, as there are no restrictions on "class" attendance with Zoom.
The deeper my study of Zechariah gets, the more my appreciation of this "minor" prophet grows.? At times it seems like reading the New Testament... except that it was written five centuries before Christ.
Many, many thanks to those of you who communicate via both email and our group message board.? You help keep life interesting!
The Zoom link log in details should remain the same, but please be aware that you may hit a glitch if you haven't updated your Zoom to Zoom 5.? You can do that by loading Zoom at any time and looking for the upgrade instructions.? Don't be alarmed, you may already have Zoom 5 loaded.? If nothing else seems to work, just go to the Zoom site and download the program again.
Blessings,
Ray

G'day everyone,
Tomorrow, Thursday 28 May 2020, will be a special time, for we will start a multi-session study of the absolutely amazing Old Testament book of Zechariah.? This book of prophecy is incredible, and it has been called both the Apocalypse of the Old Testament AND the most Messianic book in the Old Testament.? Both are true, and Jesus appears throughout this book in many guises and under many conditions.
If you're not already an aficionado of Zechariah, this study may make you one.? Some called the book of Jude the "canon in a grain of sand."? Zechariah, although the longest of the Minor Prophets at 12 chapters and 211 verses, is still a smallish book: however, it not only covers an interesting time in Israel's history but also the entire sweep of the New Testament - five hundred years before it occurs.? And, yes, Jesus is written of on every page!
It is bittersweet that Zechariah's namesake, the great apologist Ravi Zacharias (the Greek version of the Hebrew Zechariah) passed away last week on May 19.? He was joined by one of my favourite Bible teachers, David Pawson, on Ascension Day May 21.? You have been the beneficiaries of them both, because I rely heavily upon their work as I prepare these lessons.? Each left a huge legacy.
Session joining instructions are below.? We start at 11 AM.
If you haven't already allowed Zoom to update your software, tomorrow will be the last time that your old software will work.? Zoom assumes all of us that if you log in fifteen minutes early or so, your application can be upgraded to Zoom 5 for free before the session starts.? Next week's session, June 4, will require Zoom 5.
Please join me in wishing Linda a complete and speedy recovery from her hospitalisation.? She will be greatly missed at tomorrow's session.? I had been contemplating whether or not to keep doing the videos, but when I heard about Linda from Christine I immediately started on Zechariah I.? They are a lot of work (primarily making the audio track) but I must admit that I enjoy doing them.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow if you can make it.
Blessings,
Ray

Re: Video on Peter's Second Epistle is now available
#2peter
Hello Ray and fellow R09ers, Ray, what is the ID code for tomorrow, please? If you’ve already emailed it, apologies because that’d mean l’ve mislaid or inadvertently deleted it (which is why l couldn’t log in last week). I have an OP appointment tomorrow morning but hope to be finished in time to watch the presentation.? Everyone, please keep our fellow class member, Linda, in your prayers. I ask this with her permission. She is recovering in hospital after unexpected surgery last Saturday.? See you tomorrow, hopefully,
