Slavery to Nationhood Dr John Thomas Wylie

The lessons in this publication, "From Slavery To Nationhood," follows the events throughout the whole history of Israel from the hour of bondage in Egypt to the nationhood of monarchy (1500-1050 B. C.). The examination starts with the call of Moses and proceeds to the blessing of Saul as Israel's first king. Scripture writing passages are from Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, and I Samuel. Four lessons will be committed to the peoples' battle for freedom from the Egyptians. The accentuation will be on God's demonstrations of redemption. Five lessons will follow the creation of a covenant by God with His people. The covenant binds the people of God together in common responsibilities, but their faithlessness postpones the fulfillment of God's promise of a new homeland. The final lesson of four lessons pioneers the battle of the Israelites to suffer. Under the danger of neighboring people, the Israelites are led by judges and after that by their first king. All through this publication the essential target is to help Christians today to become mindful of the truth, their duty to God as they meet different burdens and pressures throughout everyday life. The use of the events of Hebrew history will concentrate on the life of God's people under benevolence, mercy and judgment. Reverend Dr. John Thomas Wylie
