Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth
Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth THROUGH DR. DANIEL G. SAMUELS This online version published by Divine Truth, USA http://www.divinetruth.com/ version 1.0 Introduction to the Online Edition For those already familiar with the messages received through James Padgett , the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received through Mr. Padgett. Samuels’ mediumship differed from Padgett’s in that it is much more filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the “broad strokes” that Padgett’s mediumship painted with. However, with this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true that we have found factual as well as conceptual errors in some of Samuel’s writings. There are also a number of passages where the wording is perhaps not as clear as we would have wished – where it appears that there was something of a “tug-of-war” going on between Samuels’ and Jesus’ mind. In upcoming editions we will attempt to notate these passages, but for now the reader is advised (as always) to read these messages with a prayerful heart, asking that their Celestial guides assist them in understanding the true intended meaning of these passages. The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels’ mediumship: Received through KS 6-10-92 I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means. -

Isaiah 1:1-31 God’S Grace to People in Crisis
1. Honeyridge Baptist Church Isaiah 1:1-31 God’s Grace to People in Crisis Introduction As we come to God’s Word this evening, my plan is to try and connect what we have been learning over the past 7 weeks with a particular passage of Scripture… in order to show you practically how by going through the various steps we have been considering… we will be able to rightly handle God’s word of Truth… and will be able to rightly understand it and apply it to ourselves as God intended. So I want us to turn in our Bibles to the Prophet Isaiah… and we are going to look at Isaiah 1 tonight. TEXT So let me start by telling you a few things about the Book itself… before we come to consider the specific Text of Chapter 1. T Isaiah is the fifth longest book in the Bible and the third longest of all the Prophets, just marginally shorter than the book of Jeremiah & Ezekiel. To put that in the NT perspective… The book of Isaiah is about the same length as Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians & 1-2 Thessalonians combined! Why is this relevant? Well, firstly because it makes up a significant portion of God’s revelation, and so just from that perspective alone, we should be committed to knowing what God has to say to us in this book. But what is especially important about the book of Isaiah is that it is directly quoted 66x in the NT with about 350 more allusions to ideas or phrases from Isaiah making it the most referenced OT book in the NT. -

The Great Isaiah Scroll supports several of these differences found in the Book of Mormon. Five parallel passages in the Isaiah scroll, the Book of Mormon, and the King James Version of the Bible are compared to illus- trate the Book of Mormon’s agreement with the Isaiah scroll.

A Son of David Is Born: Isaiah 9:1-7 Jeff Mootz (12/20/20)
A SON OF DAVID IS BORN: ISAIAH 9:1-7 JEFF MOOTZ (12/20/20) I. INTRODUCTION st nd A. The Old Testament Prophets wove the 1 coming/Birth of Jesus and 2 coming of Jesus together in many of their prophecies. Understanding their flow of revelation helps us understand the long-term significance of Jesus’ birth to the Jewish people of His day. Jesus’ birth has end-time implications in these ways: removal of sin, physical deliverance from Israel’s enemies, restoration of David’s throne, exaltation/glorification of Jerusalem as God’s throne, Israel (all surviving Jews will be saved) given spiritual leadership over the nations. 1. Micah 5:2 – Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem (King David’s home) is right in the middle of an end-time prophecy about Jesus delivering Israel from Antichrist oppression. st 2. Zechariah 9:9 – Jesus’ coming on a lowly donkey at His 1 coming is right in the middle of an end-time prophecy about Jesus delivering Israel from foreign armies and ruling over the earth. 3. Isaiah 11:1 – Jesus’ birth is in the middle of a prophecy about Jesus’ earthly reign from Jerusalem. 4. Isaiah 9:1-2 (Matthew 4:13-16) – Jesus' first coming partially fulfilled this prophecy, nd but it will be fulfilled entirely at His 2 coming. 5. Isaiah 9:6-7 – Jesus’ birth is in the middle of an end-time prophecy about Israel’s deliverance and Jesus’ earthly reign over the nations. B. The book of Isaiah is the most comprehensive book on the message of the Gospel. -

Willis: The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective John T. Willis mmanuel stands at the forefront of Christian thought. This word appears often in sermons, religious books, religious articles, songs, church classes, and common daily conversation. The word Immanuel is a Ivery ancient Hebrew word meaning literally “with us is God.” It falls into three parts. The most important element is El, which means “God.” God is at the heart of every biblical account. Thus, in the expression Immanuel, the emphasis is on God. Manu means “us,” biblically denoting God’s chosen people Israel. Im means “with,” a tiny but very important preposition denoting nearness or close association. (The Greek equivalent of “with” is sun [syn], sul [syl], sum [sym], from which English receives many familiar words like synagogue, “a gathering together”; Sanhedrin, “council”; sympathy, “suffering with”; symphony, “harmony of sounds”; and syllogism, “reckoning with.”) The testimony or account of Joseph in Genesis 37, 39—50 emphasizes that God was with Joseph at every stage of his life. -
Ancient Israel's Neighbors
Ancient Israel's Neighbors Isaiah was God’s prophet who was called to preach, teach, and prophesy to the entire known world, not just to those who lived in his kingdom. He prophesied to Arabia (Isaiah 21:13–17), Assyria (10:12–19), Babylon (13:6– 22; 21:1–10; 47:1–15), Edom (34:1–15), Egypt (19:1–25), Ethiopia (20:1–6), Moab (15:1–16:4), and Philistia (14:28–32). ISAIAH 2:16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. Tarshish, the precise location of which is unknown, was probably a prosperous and bustling Mediterranean seaport. Through Tarshish, Solomon imported luxury items, including gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks (1 Kings 10:22). Perhaps because of the city’s wealth and afuence, the destruction of Tarshish and its ships symbolizes the Lord’s judgment on the proud and arrogant (Psalm 48:7; Isaiah 23:1, 14). ISAIAH 7:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the y that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. The y and the bee often symbolize ghting soldiers (Deuteronomy 1:44; Psalm 118:12). These symbols are well chosen because “the ooding of the Nile brought . swarms of ies,” and “the hill districts of Assyria were well known for their bees” (J. Alec Motyer, The Prophecy of Isaiah: An Introduction and Commentary, 89). In this case, Isaiah prophesies that the Lord will prompt the Assyrian armies, here referred to as “bees,” to come down on Judah. -

HOMER HEATER, JR.* Dispensationalists have traditionally argued that "Babylon" in Revela tion 14 and chaps. 17-18 is a symbol indicating some form of reestablished Rome. * In recent days a renewed interest has been shown in the idea that the ancient empire of Babylonia and city of Babylon will be rebuilt.2 This conclusion comes from a reading of the prophets—Isaiah and Jeremiah -
