Msg #1948 Study First-Advent Scriptures

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Prophetic insights to the two advents of the Christ are replete throughout Old Testament Scriptures. They are not clear until studied, because believing is seeing. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God” (2Tim2:15), is not an idle suggestion. The “seed” of woman in “it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” was clearly understood by Satan in the Garden. “In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” traced “it” through Abraham the Father of Faith, and “I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him” passed the promise to Isaac and Rebekah. “Be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them” involved the whole nation of Israel in bringing this “seed of woman.” “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah” is subtle, but not an idle comment when it comes to “seed tracing.” After King David was told, “thy throne shall be established for ever” he penned in psalm that rulers would rise “against the LORD, and against his anointed (which being interpreted is Messiah-Hbrw and Christ-Greek),... Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.... Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.” This Messiah, Only Begotten Son of God, King of kings, would be called “Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace,” but would first cry “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?... “I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.” We now know “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities.” Celebrate his first-advent, be a student of the scriptures.
