The Peace of the Lord, brothers and sisters! 
I want to give you a very interesting tip 
for you to study the Old Testament,

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,400
to understand it and to start to develop 
a sequence of actions, of facts that are 
described in there...

3
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:16,300
I'm not going to ask you to download any 
book or read great articles, no.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:24,500
The tip is exactly in the Bible itself. The 
Bible has three excellent Old Testament summaries.

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:32,900
First and foremost, the best summary, it 
was made by a man filled with the Holy Spirit, 
this man is our brother Stephen.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800
[He was] the first deacon and he was filled 
with the Holy Spirit and wisdom, brothers!

7
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:45,700
He summarizes the Old Testament wonderfully, 
stop everything you are doing now, open your 
Bible and read it here in Acts 7.

8
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:58,100
In Acts, chapter 7, when Stephen was defending 
the Gospel in the Sanhedrin, he wonderfully 
summarizes the Old Testament, alright?!

9
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:06,800
Secondly ... Look, Stephen is very keen to 
detail, there are revelations that we can 
only find here in Acts, chapter 7, ok?! It's 
meaningful...

10
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:13,900
Now, we have another summary in the Psalms, 
chapters 105 and 106.

11
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,700
Read these three summaries and God will open 
your understanding.

12
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:24,300
Try to write down a sequence of events and 
you will start to organize the Old Testament 
into your mind.

13
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Of course, the Old Testament comprises 4,000 
years of history.

14
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:36,000
There are 4,000 years of history condensed 
in these summaries, very important explanations, 
it will help you a lot.

15
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:40,900
So, God bless you, I hope you enjoyed this 
tip, until the next class!
