881 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 2 Part 1 Book 74 - Connecting the Dots of Scripture - Part 5

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 1 * BOOK 74 CONNECTING THE DOTS OF SCRIPTURE - PART 5 Genesis through Revelation Okay, good to see everybody in again this afternoon. My goodness, I think we’ve got every chair filled. We’ve got a lot of out-of-state visitors today. We’ve got two up here from Florida. We’ve got six back there from Pennsylvania, and we’ve got several other new ones from our area. We want to welcome every one of you. For those of you joining us by television, again we’re just going to open the Scriptures and hopefully clarify a lot of questions. Because I can tell from the mail and the phone calls that some of the things we teach are just absolutely new to so many people. And yet it’s not new. It’s been in here for thousands of years. The only thing is, so many just can’t see it. But we’re going to do our best to keep opening the Scriptures. It’s not what I think or what any denomination thinks, but what does the Book say. All right, for just a little refreshing of our memory, I’m going to look at a couple of verses we closed with in our last program, which on television, of course, was just yesterday. But for those of us in here, it’s been two weeks ago. Turn back with me to Luke chapter 1. We’ve been looking at this whole concept of “connecting the dots” of the big picture from Genesis to Revelation. The biggest share of it, of course, starts in Genesis chapter 12 and the call of Abraham and the appearance of the Nation of Israel. The first eleven chapters of Genesis are what I call a disaster. It is pitiful how everything went down, down, down, from the time of Creation until God called out Abraham. Well, in the last taping we came up through the Old Testament showing the person of the coming King and how He had been prophesied all the way up through the Old Testament. Today, we’re going to look at the physical aspects of the Kingdom over which this King will one day rule. So, just to pick up a little mind refresher from our last program, turn back with me where we stopped in Luke chapter 1, where Zacharias the priest has now had this outpouring of information from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It’s not just, like I always say, the wishful thinking of a good Jew, but rather, this was the very mind of God. All right, I’m going to drop in at verse 69. This is just part of his speaking forth of what was about to happen so far as Old Testament prophecies were concerned, and that is that the Messiah was now in their midst. John the Baptist will soon start announcing it, but here Zacharias, at the birth of John the Baptist, is letting Israel know what is about to happen. Luke 1:69-71a “And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71. That we should be saved from our enemies,…” And I always make the point: now we’re not talking about sin, yet, we’re talking about their mortal enemies living all around them, even as they are today. That’s why it’s so appropriate. Luke 1:71-74 “That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73. The oath (or the covenant) which he swear to our father Abraham, 74. That he (God) would grant unto us (Israel), that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him (God) without fear,” Luke 1:75-77a “In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76. And thou, child, (Speaking of John the Baptist, who has just been born.) shalt be called the prophet (or the forth teller) of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 77. To give knowledge of salvation…” Now we’re dealing with the sin problem. Luke 1:77-78 “To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 78. Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us.” All right, now that’s where we stopped. I’m going to go back now and pick up the other side of the prophecies and that is the Kingdom itself and all of its physical properties. We’re going to take you all the way back to where we’ve been many, many times over the last many, many years—to Exodus 19. And remember what we’re talking about. The last programs were the promises concerning this person, the Messiah, who would be the King over the glorious Earthly Kingdom. Now, I’m going to go back and start in Exodus and bring along all the prophecies concerning the physical attributes of the Kingdom. Before we go any further, before I have the guys turn the board, I’m just suddenly reminded #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
