Unexplainable Jesus Come to the Table Week 1 Unexplainable Jesus Come to the Table Week 1 Elijah and Ezekiel and how they fit into Jewish beliefs about the Messiah These two prophets play a pre-eminent role in the coming of the Messiah. Elijah was believed to return prior to the arrival of the Messiah and Ezekiel speaks of the return of David, which also was linked to Messiah’s reign. Elijah’s ministry began in 875 BC and was transferred to Elisha in 848 BC. In 797 BC Elisha’s ministry ended. Elijah never died but was taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire. Many Jewish legends speak of Elijah returning to and from the throne room of God back to earth to help the Jewish people. Because of the prophecy in Malachi 4:5, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes,” the Jewish people believed that Elijah’s arrival would be widely known before the dawn of the Messiah. This helps explain Luke’s references to John the Baptist being “the Elijah who was to come,” and him coming “in the spirit and power of Elijah.” The message to the Jewish people is that John the Baptist is the fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy and thus, Jesus is the anticipated Messiah. When the Jewish people celebrate Passover today, they set a chair for Elijah at the table. They also open the front door in the middle of the celebration and call for him to come. The Jewish Passover calls for remembrance of God’s miraculous deliverance of His people from Egypt through Moses. They are calling for Elijah to come as the predecessor for the Messiah, who will serve as the final deliverer of Israel from all of her enemies and her independence as a nation. Understanding this helps us see why the rulers of Jesus’ day were so worried about Him issuing a revolt against Rome and the people trying 2 to make Him king. The Messiah was to deliver Israel from all oppression and set up rule and reign politically and also religiously back to pure devotion to the God of Israel. Ezekiel served as a prophet from 593 to 571 BC. He was exiled to Babylon along with Daniel and many other Israelites during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar. Ezekiel served as the prophet to the exiled prisoners. The first 24 chapters of Ezekiel prophesy of God’s coming judgment upon the nation of Israel due to her idolatry and sins. That judgment included the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Jeremiah served as a contemporary to Ezekiel and prophesied within the city of Jerusalem until it was destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians. Ezekiel’s prophecies reassured the people of Israel that the temple would be rebuilt and that one of David’s descendants would again sit upon the throne in Jerusalem. A key verse in Ezekiel is 34:23-24 “And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the LORD; I have spoken.” Because the Jews believed that their Messiah would be a descendant of David, Luke intentionally gives us Joseph’s lineage so we can see how Jesus is one of David’s descendants. Additional prophecies regarding the restoration of David’s descendant ruling in Israel are in Ezekiel 36 & 37, while Ezekiel 40-48 concern the rebuilding of the temple. The temple was rebuilt under Nehemiah and greatly expanded under Herod the Great. Jesus prophesied multiple times about the destruction of Herod’s temple that occurred in AD 70 by the Romans. Since that time, there has not been a temple in Jerusalem. Devout Jews today believe that the Messiah will not come until the temple is rebuilt. Many consider the temple about which Ezekiel prophesied to be Messiah’s temple. 3 Week 2 Jewish Passover celebration, visit Come to the Table God originally initiated the Passover in Exodus 11 & 12. The Passover was the final plague that God performed through Moses against Egypt in order to deliver His people from being slaves to Pharaoh. Moses gave the nation of Israel many parting instructions in the book of Deuteronomy. Part of these instructions included important words regarding prophecy in Deuteronomy 18. This included instructions on how to test prophets to determine if they were indeed sent by God or false prophets trying to delude the people. It also included a promise that there was a prophet who was to come who would be like Moses. In Jewish thought, this special prophet meant a new deliverer. When we examine Jesus’ teachings and miracles, we see Him point back to Moses many times. Through Moses God miraculously provided bread in the wilderness. Jesus fed the 5000. God told Moses to lift up his staff so the people could be miraculously healed (Numbers 21). Jesus regularly healed people from various sicknesses and diseases. Moses warned Israel of coming disasters due to their disobedience toward God and Jesus warned of the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the temple due to the people’s rejection of God’s plan of salvation offered through Him. Moses struck the rock to provide water in the desert and Jesus referred to Himself as the Living Water. Moses was a shepherd and Jesus referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd. Over and over in both His speech and actions, Jesus reiterated the work and teaching of God through Moses. 4 Think about it- Jesus could have done just about any miracle we could think of while He was here. He could have created some new animals, put some more stars in the sky, forged weapons from sand, anything and everything imaginable. But what were the miracles He performed? Echoes of Israel’s past in the wilderness. He was awakening the people to think back to Moses’ words in Deuteronomy 18- His miracles were the same miracles God had done through Moses. Jesus was the new deliverer- come not just to save Israel, but to redeem the world. When God gave instructions for the Passover, it provided protection for His people Israel from the final plague He would inflict upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians for enslaving His people. In this tenth plague, the angel of death would sweep over every Egyptian household killing their firstborn son. The sons of Israel however, would be spared from this plague, if they followed God’s Passover instructions. They were to slaughter a lamb, spill out the lamb’s blood and collect it in a basin. Then they were to take a branch, dip it into the basin and blood and spread it over the doorframes of their houses, so the angel of death would “pass over” their home and spare their firstborn. They were to cook the meat of the lamb and eat it with bitter herbs. Every year they were to do this in the first month of the year, remembering how God had delivered them. John the Baptist said of Jesus, “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” in John 1:29, referring to Christ as the Passover Lamb- the deliverer from death and God’s judgment. At the very end of the canon of Scripture in Revelation 15:3, we see Moses cited as the first deliverer and Jesus as the final deliverer in these words, “And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are 5 your ways, O King of the nations!” All of the ordinances and teachings of the Passover point to Christ. For an excellent resource on this, I recommend the book Christ in the Passover by Ceil & Moishe Rosen. The Rosens walk you through the entire ceremony and liturgy of a traditional Passover Meal, highlighting all of the connections between this celebration and their connection to Jesus’ work and teachings.

This area is in the northern part of Israel and included in hometown of Nazareth. We know from Luke 2 that his parents were devout observers of the Jewish Law and traveled annually to Jerusalem for the prescribed Passover Feast. The first nine chapters of Luke all tell of Jesus’ life and ministry within the region of Galilee. This section of Luke’s gospel spans all of Jesus’ earthly life except His few remaining weeks prior to his death and resurrection. Luke 10 begins with Jesus’ travel toward Jerusalem and the narrative shifts toward more teaching and prophecy by Jesus with less emphasis on His miracles. By the end of Luke 19, Jesus has arrived in Jerusalem and remains there through the rest of the narrative. Below is a photo taken along the edge of the Sea of Galilee where you can see the sloping and zig-zagged coastline. It is presumed that this is the spot where Jesus gave His Sermon on the Mount or the Beatitudes in Luke 6 and Matthew 5.

  • Daniel 1. Who Was Daniel? the Name the Name Daniel Occurs Twice In
    Daniel 1. Who was Daniel? The name The name Daniel occurs twice in the Book of Ezekiel. Ezek 14:14 says that even Noah, Daniel, and Job could not save a sinful country, but could only save themselves. Ezek 28:3 asks the king of Tyre, “are you wiser than Daniel?” In both cases, Daniel is regarded as a legendary wise and righteous man. The association with Noah and Job suggests that he lived a long time before Ezekiel. The protagonist of the Biblical Book of Daniel, however, is a younger contemporary of Ezekiel. It may be that he derived his name from the legendary hero, but he cannot be the same person. A figure called Dan’el is also known from texts found at Ugarit, in northern Syrian, dating to the second millennium BCE. He is the father of Aqhat, and is portrayed as judging the cause of the widow and the fatherless in the city gate. This story may help explain why the name Daniel is associated with wisdom and righteousness in the Hebrew Bible. The name means “God is my judge,” or “judge of God.” Daniel acquires a new identity, however, in the Book of Daniel. As found in the Hebrew Bible, the book consists of 12 chapters. The first six are stories about Daniel, who is portrayed as a youth deported from Jerusalem to Babylon, who rises to prominence at the Babylonian court. The second half of the book recounts a series of revelations that this Daniel received and were interpreted for him by an angel.

  • Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book comes from its traditional writer, as is true of all the prophetical books of the Old Testament. The name "Zechariah" (lit. "Yahweh Remembers") was a common one among the Israelites, which identified at least 27 different individuals in the Old Testament, perhaps 30.1 It was an appropriate name for the writer of this book, because it explains that Yahweh remembers His chosen people, and His promises, and will be faithful to them. This Zechariah was the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo (1:1, 7; cf. Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah, like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, was both a prophet and a priest. He was obviously familiar with priestly things (cf. ch. 3; 6:9-15; 9:8, 15; 14:16, 20, 21). Since he was a young man (Heb. na'ar) when he began prophesying (2:4), he was probably born in Babylonian captivity and returned to Palestine very early in life, in 536 B.C. with Zerubbabel and Joshua. Zechariah apparently survived Joshua, the high priest, since he became the head of his own division of priests in the days of Joiakim, the son of Joshua (Neh. 12:12, 16). Zechariah became a leading priest in the restoration community succeeding his grandfather (or ancestor), Iddo, who also returned from captivity in 536 B.C., as the leader of his priestly family (Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah's father, Berechiah (1:1, 7), evidently never became prominent.

("Since You Asked," by Norma and Burton Everist, Lutheran Standard, September 1998, page 21). A layman or laywoman, in a query addressed to the Lutheran Standard, begins with these reasonable observations: "While teaching Sunday school I was surprised to read that Jonah was thought to be a parable. I see nothing in the text that suggests it couldn't be historical." The concerned correspondent then poses the obvious question: "How is it a parable?" A. A Critical View of Jonah In the response to this query the denial of the historicity of the Book of Jonah is, in itself, scarcely surprising. Both of the Everists, after all, are shown in a photograph above the column wearing clerical collars. The "Rev.

  • What Is the Sign of Jonah?
    What is the sign of Jonah? Jesus had a very particular way of reading and interpreting scripture. The way Jesus read scripture, all of scripture pointed to and had their focal point in his own life and mission. “… [scriptures] bear witness about me … ” (John 5:39). “Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself” (Luke 24:27). “… everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled” (Luke 24:44). And his disciples and apostles carried on this method of interpretation, declaring that all the promises of God have their answer and their realisation in Jesus. “From morning till evening [Paul] expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets” (Acts 28:23). “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him” (2 Corinthians 1:20). So when Jesus stood at the Passover table, he held a panoramic view of all the history of Israel converging into the focal point of his own life. Jesus inaugurated the memorial of the new covenant, using symbols that were far older than the Exodus itself. Jesus reached way past the Exodus, past the Egyptian captivity, past the covenant with Abraham, and chose to use the symbols of Melchizedek. The symbols of the new covenant are older than the symbols of the old covenant. In Jesus’ day, rabbis taught that the unleavened bread symbolised redemption from Egypt.1 Redemption means release from slavery.

  • Agents of Resurrection in 4Q521, the Sayings Source Q and 4Qpseudo-Ezekiel*
    Agents of Resurrection in 4Q521, the Sayings Source Q and 4QPseudo-Ezekiel* Benjamin Wold, Trinity College Dublin For presentation at Durham University’s Seminar for the Study of Judaism in Late Antiquity (Nov. 11, 2010) Since its publication in 1992, 4Q521 (“Messianic Apocalypse”) has become one of the most discussed discoveries from Qumran.1 The reasons for this are not difficult to understand when fragment 2 column ii is read alongside Matthew 11,1-6 and Luke 7,18-23 (from the sayings source Q). The Hebrew fragment 4Q521 2 ii preserves a reference to a messiah (ln. 1) and shortly thereafter refers to Isaiah 61,1-2 with only one significant addition: the dead are raised (ln. 12). The document 4Q521 is preserved in sixteen fragments and several other references to messiah(s) and resurrection are found among them. The largest fragment is 4Q521 2 ii and reads: Column ii [](1) [](2) vacat (3) (4) (5) (6) [(7) [](8) ][][](9) ][ ](10) []<>(11) [](12) [][][ ](13) * I would like to thank the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung for helping make this research possible. 1 É. PUECH, Une Apocalypse Messianique (4Q521), RevQ 15 (1992) 475-519. There is no clear reason that 4Q521 should be seen as originating with the Qumran community, but rather stems from a broader Palestinian Jewish tradition. See R. BERGMEIER, Beobachtungen zu 4Q521 f 2, II, 1-13, ZDMG 145 (1995) 44-45. Pace PUECH, a late second cent. BCE date of the autograph (4Q521 is likely not the autograph) is possible, but the provenance of the document lacks characteristics that would identify it as Essene; see his, Some Remarks on 4Q246 and 4Q521 and Qumran Messianism, in The Provo International Conference on the Dead Sea Scrolls (STDJ 30), hg.
