"Le livre de Jérémie" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament, écrit selon la tradition juive et chrétienne par le prophète Jérémie. Sa rédaction commence avant la destruction de Jérusalem par les Babyloniens car il était déjà répandu et utilisé par les Juifs durant leur exil à Babylone. La quatrième année de Joachim correspond à 605/604 av. J.-C. ; c'est-à-dire au moment où la bataille de Karkemish fait basculer le Moyen-Orient de la domination égyptienne à celle de Babylone.

"Le Siracide", appelé aussi "l'Ecclésiastique" ou encore "La Sagesse de Ben Sira", est l'un des livres de l'Ancien Testament écrit vers 200 av. J.-C. "Le Siracide" tient son nom de son auteur, Jésus Ben Sira. L'ouvrage est un mélange de deux genres littéraires : tantôt des "proverbes", tantôt des développements structurés qui proposent des réflexions sur un sujet. Il s'agit toujours de la "Sagesse", représentée comme une personnification de la Sagesse divine.

"Le livre d'Esdras" (ou Ezra) est un livre de la Bible hébraïque et de l'Ancien Testament. Les chapitres 1 à 6 du 3e livre d'Esdras décrivent le décret de Cyrus en 537 av. J.-C. et le retour des Juifs sous Zorobabel. Dans les chapitres 7 à 10, qui se déroulent 60 à 80 ans plus tard, Esdras va à Jérusalem. Avec ses compagnons, il jeûne et prie pour obtenir protection. À Jérusalem, ils apprennent que de nombreux Juifs ont épousé des étrangères. Considérant qu'ils se sont ainsi souillés, Esdras prie pour eux et les convainc de renvoyer femmes et enfants.

"Le 2e livre des Chroniques" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Il suit "Le 1er livre des Chroniques", qui retrace l'histoire du monde de la Création à la royauté de David. À l'origine ces deux livres n'en formaient qu'un, appelé "Livres des Chroniques", mais ils ont été divisés probablement pour des raisons d'encombrement.

"Le 1er livre des Chroniques" est un livre de l'Ancien Testament. Dans le canon hébreu originel, le 1er et le 2e livres des Chroniques étaient assemblés dans un ouvrage, "Les livres des Chroniques". Une chronique (du mot grec chronicon) signifie un recueil de faits rapportés dans l'ordre de leur succession dans le temps. "Chroniques 1" retrace les événements de la Création du monde à la royauté de David.

"Le Livre des Juges" est l'un des livres de l'Ancien Testament pour les chrétiens. Il raconte la période de l'histoire des Hébreux entre la conquête du Pays de Canaan (rapportée dans "Le livre de Josué") et l'apparition de la royauté. À cette époque (vers -1150-1130), c'est sous la pression d'un danger et sur un mode défensif que les tribus d'Israël mettent à leur tête un chef : c'est l'époque des Juges.

"Le livre de Josué" est le premier livre historique de l'Ancien Testament chrétien et le premier livre des Prophètes dans la Bible hébraïque. Il fait suite au Pentateuque, qui se termine par la mort de Moïse aux portes du pays de Canaan. Le livre relate la conquête du pays promis sous la direction de Josué, et il porte son nom parce qu'il en est le personnage principal, et non l'auteur. Selon la tradition juive, il fut écrit par Jérémie, lequel puisa dans des documents anciens qui dateraient du Xe siècle av. J.-C.

Back before Stonehenge or the wheel, back before the pyramids, math, or even the crudest writing existed, ancient peoples gathered and told stories. They told stories of how the world began, what the first people were like, and which of them were heroes or failures. They tried to make sense of the world around them and tried to sort out who the gods were and what those gods wanted from them. More than 10,000 years later, one set of those stories has come down to us in the form of the Old Testament. Perhaps you think you know it. Think again.

Revelation 13:18 adds to the horror by posing the Bible's most mysterious riddle. It states: "Here is wisdom, let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: his number is 666." In this Magi Report, the riddle is decoded and examined phrase by phrase.

The Epistle to the Philippians is a Pauline epistle of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and Timothy is named with him as co-author or co-sender. The letter is addressed to the Christian church in Philippi. Paul, Timothy, Silas (and perhaps Luke) first visited Philippi in Greece (Macedonia) during Paul's second missionary journey from Antioch, which occurred between approximately 49 and 51 AD. In the account of his visit in the Acts of the Apostles, Paul and Silas are accused of "disturbing the city".
