Numbers 30 - Isaiah 12 – 1 Corinthians 11 – 1 John 2

Numbers 30
- Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes
- If a man makes an oath (promise) he shall not break it.
- He shall do all he says.
- If a young woman under her father makes a vow and the father says nothing, she must keep her vow.
- If her father opposes her when he hears her vow, the vow shall not stand
- The Lord will forgive her when her father oppsoes her.
- If a married man hears his wife's vow or "thoughtless utterances" and says nothing her vows shall stand.
- But if the husband hears the vow and opposes her then her vow will not stand and the Lord will forgive her.
- Does God need to forgive a vow that has been opposed if it's not an opposition due to sin?
- A divorced or widow's vow shall stand once spoken.
- Who are verses 9 - 15 speaking to?
- If the husband hears a vow and does not oppose it, then the husband shall bear the iniquity.

Isaiah 12
- You will give thanks (the "you" is porbably Nubia)
- They will give thanks because God was angry but now will comfort.
- God is our salvation so we can trust and not be afraid.
- God is our strength, song, and salvation
- You (or wind) will draw salvation with joy.
- Zion will give thanks and make God known among the people. They will exalt His name.
- Their response should be to sing praises to God
- The inhabitant of Zion should shout for joy and sing because the Holy One is great in their midsts.

1 Corinthains 11
- Paul commends them for remembering him and they remember the traditions he showed them.
- Christ is head of every man --> head of wife is her husband --> head of Christ is God
- Every prophesying man who covers his head dishonors his head.
- Every wife who prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head (same as shaving it).
- If a wife won't cover her head she should just cut her hair short, but that is deemed shameful to do, so she should cover it.
- Man shouldn't cover his head because it is the image of glory of God while the woman is the glory of man.
- Man wasn't created for woman, but woman was created for man.
- The woman should be a symbol because of the angels (messengers sent to report)
- Man and woman or dependent on each other; woman was made from man and woman gave birth to man.
- Nature shows that long hair for a man is a disgrace and long hair for woman is her glory.
- What does Paul mean that "we" and the "churches of God" have no such practice?
- Paul starts the next section by rebuking them and saying he cannot commend them.
- Paul says this because there are divisions in the church when they meet.
- They are NOT taking the Lord's supper properly because some are leaving hungry and others drunk.
- Paul tells them to eat and drink at home!
- Paul says this is despising the church of God and humiliating those with nothing.
- Paul says he delivered the Lord's supper tradition to them, breaking bread to remember Christ's body and drinking from the cup of the new covenant.
- This ceremony is to proclaim the Lord's death and return.
- Eating and drinking wrongly is profaning the body and blood of the Lord.
- Those who are misusing this, puts judgement on himself.
- When God judged us He disciplines us so we aren't condemned with the world.
- Paul tells them that when they partake they should wait for each other so not to be judged.
- Paul ends by saying he'll discuss this with them further when he returns to them.

1 John 2
- John write to "my little children" so they won't sin.
- He reminds them that when they do sin they have an advocate.
- He is our propitiation and the world's of our sins.
- If someone claims to know Him but doesn't keep His commandments, that person is a liar, and the truth is NOt in him.
- By keeping the word, the love of God is perfected.
- We know we are in Him if we walk in the same way as He did.
- John isn't writing a new commandment, but an old one that has been made new because we have a light in the darkness.
- Hating your brother shows you're still in darkness.
- Loving your brother= no stumbling blocks.
- Hating your brother = blinded by darkness and not knowing where you're going.
- Our sins are forgiven for His namesake.
- John addresses multiple groups of people:
- little children = sin's forgiven
- father's = known Him from beginning
- young men = overcomed the evil one
- children = know the Father
- fathers = known Him from beginning (repeated)
- young men = strong, God's word abides in them, and have overcome evil one.
- John tells them not to love the world because that shows the Father is not in them.
- Desires of flesh, the eyes, and pride in possessions is from the world not from God.
- The world and its desires are passing away but God abides forever.
- John tells them the antichrist is coming and many have already come.
- They went out from the group so the people know they are NOT from God.
- John writes to them BECAUSE they know the truth not to teach it to them.
- Antichrist = one who denies Father and Son.
- John reminds them to remember what they have known from the beginning.
- Eternal life is the promise of abiding in God and Son.
- They should abide in what they have been taught and abide in him (lowercase so it is the one who taught them)
