I Advice - Are there Two J Authors in the Deuteronomist History?
We have identified Six Critical Skills™ as fundamental to sales excellence. The Six Critical Skills are Presence, Relating, Questioning, Listening, Positioning, and Checking. How well salespeople execute these fundamental skills is one of the major differentiations among the good, very good, and superb salespeople.If asked which is the most important, many salespeople would say listening or questioning. Of course, these skills are critical, as are all of the Six Critical Skills.Nevertheless, the one skill that I see the superb salespeople excel in is positioning. In light of my book title, Stop Tel
As the original law was destroyed in fire, Ezra had performed the duty of a final redactor. He copied the remaining stuff down and the rest he claims to have been dictated to him by the voice from the bush. He claims that God visited him and gave him inspiration to write it the way it always had been. He rewrote the Jewish tradition two centuries after the birth of Christ. It’s even hard to believe it. He took all the different sources and compiled them to

One of the most prominent Kings in the Deuteronomist History is Josiah. The son of great king David, Josiah himself became a king when he was only 8 years of age. He was very righteous in the eyes of the Lord. After Hilkiah the high priest discovers the Book of Covenant (2 Kings 22:8), Josiah get rids of the household gods, the idols, the mediums and spiritists, pagan priests and temples. He listens to the words of the Book of the Law and gets very upset: neither he nor his fathers have obeyed and acted in accordance with what’s written in that Book. Josiah tears his robe. God is pleased with that. Although He’s still angry, God forgives Josiah and promises that his eyes won’t see all the disaster that He-God will bring on the place.
Now Josiah actually is one of the best Kings. He can be compared to Moses only in his holiness. He’s great in comparison to Solomon, who messed up his relationship with God by having too many foreign wives. He’s even greater than David, his father, who also had spoiled Lord’s attitude towards him by messing with Uriah the Levite’s wife, and later sending the soldier to death. Other kings were a complete mess.
Josiah was the one to start a reform in the government – centralization of religion. He closed all the religious centers around the country and made Jerusalem a Mecca for religious tourism. The Book of the Law thanks to him became a part of Old Testament and a part of the Deuteronomy Book. Josiah also changed the celebration of the Passover tradition. It was celebrated by Samuel in a very important religious center, Shiloh (priests of Moses – perhaps they were the actual creators of the Code of Law, as it cares about them more than of the kings; 1 Samuel 1:3-24); by David’s family in Bethlehem. Deuteronomy says you have to celebrate Passover in some special, God chosen place. If God hesitates and doesn’t choose one on time, then the holiday can be celebrated in various places. Josiah is also supposed to be the one who fulfilled a three hundred year old prophecy, so he’s a really special one for the Jews.
In 2 Samuel 7:1-17, through Nathan the prophet, God gives David His Promise. He promises to take care of David’s offspring, help him establish his kingdom, as David’s kid is going to be the one who shall build a temple in the Lord’s name. And the throne of his kingdom God promises to establish forever. Abijah King of Judah and the ancestor of David committed all the sins his father had done before him; he was not as concerned about God as David had been. But David had done what was right in the eyes of the Lord, so God could not break the promise given to Abijah’s forefather and still made Israel a strong kingdom.
But later despite of God’s promise Judah gets destroyed by the king of Babylon (and the temple built by Solomon as well). That happens because of Manasseh who sinned against God including shedding innocent blood. God simply could not forgive him for filling Israel with the blood of innocent (2 Kings 24:2-18, 25:1-26).
Almost forgot to mention Solomon’s Covenant with God. Solomon has been the king of Israel for more than forty years, and he built a temple dedicated to God. God was very nice to inform Solomon though that in case he or his sons turn away from God and stop observing his commands and decrees, He shall then cut Israel off the land given by the Lord, reject the temple that has been consecrated in His name. Solomon turned out to be an OK king, not as great as David, but still fine, better than some of his descendents.
The author of the Deuteronomst History series could be Jeremiah. His father was a high priest (Hilkiah), one of the Moses’ descendents (Anathoth priests), and among his friends were: Ahikam the son of Josiah’s secretary and Jeremiahs own secretary Baruch, who served him as a ‘typewriter’. So they were quite close to the king. I could be the king himself, but that is the version that is harder to prove. Another assumption may be, that it was Baruch himself, but it would be hard to imagine as Jeremiah only could be the source of information for him.

South America is home to some of the world's largest and lushest rainforests. Fully one fifth of the different species of flora and fauna on the planet can be found in these forests, and quite a number of them are indigenous to this region alone. Despite the sheer size of the rain forests, they are rapidly being diminished by deforestation in South America.The reasons for the deforestation in South America generally run the usual gauntlet that has plagued other countries; first and foremost on the list are man's need for more arable farm land, and the need for lumber. These two needs are difficult to avoi

If you want to avoid UK capital gains tax by moving overseas it's usually necessary to remain non-resident for five complete tax years. Any gains on assets disposed of after you leave the UK will then escape UK capital gains tax completely.The other side of the coin though is that you'll want to avoid or at least minimise any tax charges overseas. There's no point saving UK tax at say 20% but then incurring tax overseas at 30%!This is particularly the case when there are reliefs that will apply to reduce any gain for UK tax purposes. The main reliefs that I'm thinking of here coul

Have you ever started a project but soon realized that the work required to get the job done was more involved than what you thought that it would be? I had the experience this past week of landing what looked to be a good project but soon turned out to be more time consuming than what the client originally indicated.The research and writing time for each article (there were to be 25) I had estimated would take about 90 minutes of my time. As it turns out the client wanted much more detailed research than what he originally conveyed to me. I had no problem with this, however I asked him to either cut the

So there you are at a social or business event. You are in line for appetizers (bet you can’t wait to get to those spicy wings) and you strike up a conversation with the person next to you in line. You introduce yourselves, shake hands, and quickly the question, “What do you do for a living” is asked.” It’s the moment of truth!Ordinarily one’s response is a generic, dull, uninspired, noun stating, “what you are” instead of “what you do.” It is as if one were to say, “I sell a commodity” or even worse, “I AM a commodity.” Once that commodity statement is finished, the response is typically a tepid “uh
