66 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 2 - Part 2 - Book 6 - First Fruits

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 6 FIRST FRUITS: GLEANINGS: OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS: RESURRECTION Daniel 12 & 9 I Corinthians 15:20-22 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." "For as in Adam all die,...." "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." Going back again, to John's Gospel, Chapter 5, the believer will be resurrected to life by the work of Christ, the work of the Cross. I Corinthians 15:23 "But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." Everyone will be resurrected according to their organizational company. Now, we've already had the first fruits, remember; indicated by Christ. We are talking about the Church Age believer. Those who are in Christ, who are part of the Bride; who are part of the Body of Christ, they will be the next ones to experience resurrection. After Christ and the first fruits, comes this great group of believers of the Church Age. Let's go back and pick up the Old Testament description of harvesting that field of grain. Leviticus 19:9,10 "And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God:..." ...neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them, (for whom?) the poor...." That was mandated by God. Here it is in Daniel Chapter 12. Daniel 12:1,2 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. You can't study Revelation without studying Daniel and vise versa. So, now, as you come into the last chapter of this great book of prophecy, Daniel writes this: "..and at that time shall Michael stand up, that great prince which standeth for the children (Israel), and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people (Israel, the Jews) shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book." Now let's skip over to verse 8: Daniel 12:8,9 Daniel is saying that he heard but he understood not. Now, I've always maintained, as I've taught the Old Testament, that all Scripture is inspired of God. Our Bible is the very inspiration of the Spirit of God and as Peter says, that these holy men of God wrote as they were moved along by the Spirit. Look what Daniel says, after writing this great book of end-time prophecy (and he's writing it 2500 years before it happens). It wasn't for men to understand until we get close to the end times. I know, 20 years ago, when I'd teach the Book of Revelation, it was hard to get people to understand what it was saying. Daniel 12:10 Men have become so wicked. Daniel saw it. "...and none of the wicked shall understand." "...but the wise shall understand,...." because The Book is so plain. Verse 11: Daniel 12:11 Daniel 12:12 Now, let's look at verse 13: Daniel 12:13 As a believer who is now in the presence of God, these saints are in bliss. Let's reconstruct. Oh, the resurrection of our body. The Church is referred to as the virgin pure Bride of Christ. The Church is the Bride of Christ, united to Him. Israel is that adulterous; and if you don't quite understand what I'm talking about when I call Israel the adulterous wife of Jehovah, go back and study the Book of Hosea. The Nation of Israel. Oh,listen, Israel chased after the pagan gods of the Canaanites. Let's turn to Jeremiah 44. Just to show you how adulterous spiritually Israel was always chasing after those pagan gods. But, the time is coming as God says in: Jeremiah 31:31 Now let's go back to Daniel 12. Let's look at verse 13 once again. Thou shalt rest and stand in thy", what's the word? "Lot." #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
