Msg #2349 First Advent Prophecy

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

A First-Advent study begins with the prophetic Scriptures revealing it. With a precursor that Jesus was born in the spring-time when Passover lambs were born, and shepherds indeed watched their flocks by night, and NOT on December 25^th when the Romish Sun god disappeared for the longest night! Another, Baptists entertain no service of the Romish church called “mass” and never have. And one more, the Romish patron “saint” of sailors dubbed “Saint” Nicholas, in Dutch “Sinterklaas”, English “Santa-Clause”, has nothing whatsoever to do with Christ's Birth, or anything remotely Christian, or rational.

That aside, Jesus, in his resurrected body, rebukes his disciples saying, “These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. ... 46 Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem (Luk.24:44,46). Just previous, with two Emmaus Road disciples, it says, “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself” (vr.24). Would that I could have heard that; I can do more than imagine.

Scofield has meticulously listed 44 OT verses that must have been in Jesus' First-Advent lecture. The first is Genesis 3:15 the last in Malachi 3:1. It covers Abraham, who told his son, “God will provide himself a lamb” (Gen.22:8), the seedline of Messiah, the Sceptre of Judah, the eternal throne of David, 23 verses in Psalm, 37 in Isaiah, and 11 in the minor prophets. Study to show thyself approved unto God.
