Hazakim's "Theophanies"

A couple of days ago, I posted a playlist of their new album, Theophanies, on my Favorite Media blog. On this post I want to focus on what the album says and how it affected me. The album has 3 main themes:

1. The Old Testaments describes theophanies - cases where a man or an angel appeared to Old Testament people and equated with God himself. The album sticks to Old Testament accounts in order to show that God could have incarnated Himself in the Old Covenant for finite period of time, then why can't Jesus be the incarnate God for years? I love this!

2. Personal testimony by the brothers of what God has done for them and the trials they face and how God has sustained them through those sufferings. These things are awesome. I could identify with that.

3. There are about 3 songs on the album that does touch on the New Testament. One song describes heaven (Shamayim in Hebrew). Another song describes the crucifixion from historical, physiological, and spiritual viewpoints! Another song also sums up God's whole salvific plan.

I'm not a very musical person. It does not move me the same as other people. I can't sing and don't even really enjoy singing. However, I do like to listen to certain music. There was not a track on this album that I did not like. It was fun. I love the level of Biblical exegesis illustrated in the music. They obviously care about Apologetics and making sure that the Bible is understood.

These brothers need our support. If you can, please purchase and listen to this album.

Mariano has put together a good resource for anyone who would be interested in researching the teachings and works of Richard Dawkins. Here is list of quotes and interviews we can use to see how he thinks. Scary in how wrong his conclusions are...interesting how God can be merciful enough to allow such convoluted thinking yet still breathe.
