The Fear That Abraham Felt (Gn 15:12) Victor Hamilton writes: This is the one time that Abram experiences fear in the presence of God. Adam in the presence of God was fearful (3:10), as was Jacob (28:17), Moses (Exod. 3:6), and the Israelites (Exod. 20:18); with the first three individuals the fear is spawned by the memory of unholy behavior and comes upon them while they are conscious. The dread of God engulfs Abr…

Religion — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 24 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

19 posts held, back to 4 November 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 14 December 2021. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Labor Pains and the Dragon (12:2 - 3) …The Dead Sea Scrolls depict a period of great tribulation as childbirth, probably with reference to the bringing forth of the new community (1QH 3.7 - 12). In one passage God promises the suffering, pregnant Israel that she will truly bear new life in the time of the resurrection (Isa. 26:17 - 19), the day of God’s wrath in which he will slay the serpent (26:20 - 27:1). Biblic…

Substitutionary Atonement as The Main Theory of The Greek Fathers JND Kelly writes: Neither the physical theory, however, nor the mythology of man's deliverance from the Devil represents the main stream of Greek soteriology in the fourth century. For this we have to look to doctrines which interpreted Christ's work in terms of a sacrifice offered to the Father. We saw that both Athanasius and Gregory of Nysa, while…
One does not need to be a catholic nor a fan of Alphonsus of Liguori in order to say that he nailed it here: When, through inward passions, or the temptations of the devil, or the persecutions of men, we feel ourselves disturbed and excited to lose our patience, and to abandon ourselves to displeasing God, let us cast our eyes on Jesus crucified, who poured forth all his blood for our salvation, and let us reflect t…
David Mitchell's Messiah ben Joseph is the largest book ever written—and the first ever in English—on Messiah ben Joseph, the slain messiah of Rabbinic Judaism. The author traces Messiah ben Joseph from his origins in the Book of Genesis, through the Pentateuch, the Prophets, the Psalms, the Pseudepigrapha, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Targums, the New Testament and Church Fathers, the Talmud, the homiletic, exegeti…

On The Two Wills of God John Piper in this book tries to explain how to reconcile the expressed will of God of all men to be saved and the clear passages where scripture speaks about an election performed by God to save the ones he chose. Regardless of how you view Calvinism or what you think about it, the post here is a very good reflection on God's sovereignty and evil on earth. Sometimes things that look bad and …

Justin Martyr’s Exegesis of Psalm 22 Jean Daniélou writes: One of the most remarkable passages in the commentary concerns verses 10 and 11. Eusebius first sees in them an appeal by Christ to his father to assist him in confronting the demonic powers that await the soul when it leaves the body, just as he assisted him when he confronted the demonic powers at his birth (773 B C). In these last verses, we can see a c…
Catrin H. Williams, “I am He”: The Meaning and Interpretation of “ANI HU” in Jewish and Early Christian Literature (WUNT 113, Reihe 2; Tübingen: Mohr-Siebeck, 1999) One of the best books I have encountered in 10 years reading theology and biblical studies.
Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @BiblicalExegesis. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
