196 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 4 - Book 17 - Psalms 2 - Part 2

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 3 * BOOK 17 PSALMS 2 Remember, Jesus and the eleven are still on the Mount of Olives. They have been talking about things pertaining to the Kingdom. It's a valid Kingdom they have been talking about; the same Kingdom we have seen all the way up through the Old Testament and the same Kingdom that is yet going to come back to the earth as soon as the Tribulation is over and Christ returns. Now verse 9: Now personally I think this cloud was a heavenly host, I don't think it was cumulus cloud, but a heavenly host that ushered Him into glory. Now verse 10: I like to point out that throughout Israel's history, when the supernatural such as angelic appearances took place, were they all shook up? "Which also said, `Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? In type as well as a literal sense. So turn to the Book of Zechariah Chapter 14. This is prophecy and is directed to the Nation of Israel. Let's begin with verse 1: Zechariah 14:1,2 "BEHOLD, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee." All the Middle Eastern nations are building up their hardware by the billions. Zechariah 14:3 "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations (the word LORD in the Old Testament capitalized is Jehovah. God fought Israel's battle all through history. Zechariah 14:4 Now verse 8: Zechariah 14:8 "And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem (in other words pure water); half of them toward the former sea (Mediterranean), and half of them toward the hinder sea (Dead Sea); in summer and in winter shall it be." It's interesting that plans are being drawn up to build a canal from the Mediterranean to the Dead sea. At His Second Coming there will be a fresh water river running from Jerusalem to the Mediterranean, and from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea. Zechariah 14:9a The prophet Ezekiel is getting a vision of this water way that will run out from the throne room in Jerusalem all the way again to the Dead Sea. Verse 8: Ezekiel 47:8-10 "Then said he unto me, `These waters issue out (from Jerusalem) toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the (Dead) sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed (nothing can live in the Dead sea). The Old Testament alludes to it by symbol, especially in the life of Moses and the life of Joseph. And we see that clearly in Acts Chapter 7, where Stephen is rehearsing the history of Israel and talking about the famine and Joseph in Egypt. "Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. Why does Scripture bring in the "second time?" Well, the first time the brothers went down to see Joseph, he knew who they were, but they didn't recognize him. Joseph had become their saviour. When Moses went out the first time and he saw the Egyptian misusing a Jew. Moses killed him and hid his body. And Moses had to flee. Because Stephen is driving home the very point that Christ came to them the first time in His earthly ministry and they rejected Him. Christ had died which He had to do. He'd been raised from the dead, and ascended. Everything was set for Him to come back if Israel will just believe. So here's the type with regard to Moses. Moses' position in Egypt was that of the second greatest man, so he thought he had the power and clout to lead the children of Israel out of bondage into freedom, and back to a relationship with their God. Moses at this time becomes a man of faith, but what didn't he take into consideration? That Israel wouldn't buy it. Jesus came unto His own, they could have accepted Him, they should have accepted Him, but what was their answer. "This Moses whom they refused saying, `Who made thee a ruler and a judge? Now what's the lesson? This chapter is all Tribulation ground. Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning cometh out of the east (Tribulation storm already over), and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24:29,30 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." John knows nothing of the Church Age or the Rapture of the Church, those were secrets that were only revealed to the Apostle Paul. John 14:1-3a "LET not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. I go to prepare a place for you. Here The Lord is talking to the Nation of Israel and preparing them for His Second Coming. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
