https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 79 PART 3 of the MESSIANIC PROPHECIES – PART 2 Psalms 40 and 41 Okay, good to have all of you back from your coffee break. We’re going to pick right up where we left off. You can go back with me to chapter 40 of Psalms, and then we’ll probably go back up to Hebrews again. Anyhow, for those of you out in television—again, we always want to be reminded that because of your prayers and your financial help, we are reaching more and more people every day. I’ve said it before on the program. I never considered myself a soul-winner per se. I always felt my ministry was primarily to just teach believers. But, oh, my goodness, you ought to read our mail – how many people will say that for the first time in their life they’ve heard the plan of salvation. They’ve come into it, and they just rejoice in it. So that tells us that the Lord is blessing it beyond anything we could have ever dreamed. I don’t know—maybe I’ll take time sometime this afternoon and give a brief explanation of how in the world we ever got on television. Well, I’m going to tell you right now, it wasn’t my idea, believe me. But maybe in the next program I’ll take two or three minutes—because it’ll be a long time before the program comes on where we explain all of that (Book 42). Okay, we’re going to keep right on where we left off in that first half hour. We were in Psalms chapter 40. One of the Messianic Psalms where David the prophet is actually speaking, many times, the exact words that Christ used—or at least it’s a close explanation of His first advent ministry. And, you remember, we got down as far as verses 7 and 8 where he said: Psalms 40:7-8 “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Now, let’s go back to Hebrews 10 for just a moment. I’m afraid I left off a little too quickly when I ran out of time in the last lesson. So come back with me to Hebrews 10, and then we’ll go back to Psalms. Then we’re going to come back to John’s Gospel. That’s Bible study. Hebrews chapter 10 verse 9, where Paul is using the exact quote of Psalms chapter 40. Hebrews 10:9 “Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. (Now that’s God the Son speaking to God the Father.) He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” Now you’ve got to remember, Paul, here in the Book of Hebrews—now I recognize some don’t think Paul wrote it. But I’m not going to get all exercised over that. But nevertheless, I want to point out that whoever wrote it, what is he showing here when “He took away the first that he might establish the second”? What’s he talking about? Well, the system of Law—sacrifices, Temple worship, and the feast days. That was all done away with by the work of the cross. So he says here in verse 9 that “He taketh away the first, (That is the whole system of Law and Temple worship.) that He may establish the second”—which is this Age of Grace. We’re not under Law. We’re under Grace—which most of Christendom still can’t get through their head; but nevertheless, it’s so obvious. Now in verse 10: Hebrews 10:10 “By the which will (That is the will of God.) we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Now let’s see, we’re going to have another one in maybe the next Psalm, where we have a reference to the fact that He was given a physical body. All right, stay here in Hebrews 10 for just a little bit. Hebrews 10:10b-11 “…through the offering of the body (the human body) of Jesus Christ once for all. (Not just once a year. Not just once every hundred years, but for all eternity.) 11. And every priest (in the old economy)standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:” Animals’ blood couldn’t atone for anything. All right, now verse 12: Hebrews 10:12-13 “But this man, (the man Christ Jesus) after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Now I’m glad I came back, because I wanted you to see verse 13.) 13. From henceforth (That is where He has been positioned ever since His ascension in Acts chapter 1. He has been seated positionally at the right hand of the Father.) From henceforth (That is from the time that He went back to Glory He is waiting for the day that--) expecting till his enemies (Christ-rejecting mankind, Israel in particular, that they would--) be made his footstool.” Now, what does the footstool imply? He’s got them under His feet. They are no longer in a position to resist Him. He’s ready to come back and exercise His power and His Kingship. Now let’s go back to Psalms, and we’ll move on—back to Psalms 40, verse 8. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
