Apr 12, 2019 · He predicted in Luke 18:31f., “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written of the Son of man by the prophets will be accomplished. For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon; they will scourge him and kill him.”. When Jesus set his face to go to Jerusalem, he ...
Jan 4, 2022 · It could be said that the fundamental mission of Christ’s time on earth was to fulfill God’s plan of saving the lost. Jesus put it this way in Luke 19:10: “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”. Jesus had just been criticized for going to the house of a “sinner.”. Jesus responded by affirming His mission was to save ...

Let us then examine how a covenant was applied in everyday life. The pattern of covenanting that God used, was the Hittite Vassal Covenant. When two kings went to war and (say “A”) was the victor, he would enter into a “vassal covenant” with the defeated king (say “B”). He would then “lay down the rules” of the covenant – which means that the defea...
The covenant that God made with Abraham took approximately the same course, but with significant differences. Exactly as God knew beforehand, His covenant people of Israel, the posterity of Abraham, frequently violated His covenant. But God had a purpose, a goal, and nothing would stop Him from reaching it – Himself taking on the flesh of man in th...
We read of this final Messenger in the New Testament. But before we discuss this, just note the following: The New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for “messenger” is “Angelos”. This word is translated into English as “angel”. Now you and I know that people usually think of an “angel” as an ethereal human figure with wings. In some Bi...
Note: The Old Testament was written mainly in Hebrew. The Hebrew word “Messiah” means “Anointed One”. In Greek (the language of the New Testament) “Anointed One” is called “Christos”, which we translate into the English word “Christ”. The Jewish nation (Israel) expected, desired and longed for the coming of the Messiah – according to Scripture (Old...
Isaiah prophesied about (who turned out to be) John the Baptist: “The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight a highway in the desert for our God.” (Isa.40:3). When John was asked who he really is, he replied: “I am not the Christ” (John.1:20). “I am “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make strai...
We must clearly understand John’s role in this respect. He was sent for one purpose, as described above – to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, the Christ, Jesus. To do this, he explained: “that He be revealed to Israel, therefore I have come baptizing with water.” The apostle John wrote about John the Baptist (John.1:6-8): “There was a...
Now that we understand exactly what John was about, let us see what the prophet Malachi said about him 450 years before he was even born: “Behold, I will send My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me” (Mal.3:1). And v.1 continues: “Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look ...
Jan 1, 2008 · Early on Monday morning, Jesus returned to Jerusalem, and, entering into the temple, which Matthew significantly refers to as “the temple of God,” He began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold the doves for the sacrifice (cf. Mk 11:15-18; Lk 19:45-47).
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Bible teaches that the Father sent the Son into the world (John 5:37; 6:44, 57; 8:16, 18; 12:49; 20:21; Galatians 4:4; 1 John 4:14). In other words, God sent Jesus. The Bible also tells us why God sent Jesus into the world—reasons that redound to His glory and our eternal benefit. We will look at four of the reasons God sent Jesus:
Galatians 4:4 says, "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law." We don't exactly know what "the fullness of time" refers to, but God has allowed us these few hints. Most striking, God did not wait around until things looked right. Having seen all of human history, He predicted exactly ...

Apr 8, 2019 · God sent a lion to devour a false prophet in 1 Kings 13:27-31, while his donkey safely stood and watched. The lion did not eat the donkey. The donkey carried the slain prophet back home at God’s behest. King Jehu rode a donkey into Samaria, a kind of false Jerusalem, in order to destroy the temple of the false god Baal (2 Kings 9:11-10:28).
