connecting the old and the New Testament Promises to their New Testament realizations thematicconnections between prophecies including redemption justice And we will talk about the nature of the Messiah's missionAlso get into the relevance and application of these prophecies to modern day Christian faith and beliefin Christ Again we will follow the same format of providing Bible verses brief explanations for each If it seemslike we're moving a little bit too quickly or you're feeling overwhelmed please pause the video take a break comeback to it Remember you can rewind you can re-watch that's the point of this course Re-watchthe videos go back through the videos so you can learn from them right Don't just watchthem once I recommend watching them multiple times in multiple different areas So these lectures are designed to bewatched that way to be learned that way to jump around from course to course within the academylearning as you go So additionally if any particular prophecy interest you you can do a deeper study intoit A specific topic study into that prophecy Now let's get into some of these prophecies here Propheciesrelated to Jesus the Messiah We'll start with Isaiah the Emanuel prophecy What is theverse here 714 Isaiah's prophecy foretells a miraculous sign a virgin conceiving giving birth to ason named Emmanuel which means God with us So what did this prophecy fulfill Whatdoes this prophecy mean This prophecy finds fulfillment in Christ himself really emphasizes his divine nature of who he isnow in Micah The promise of Bethlehem Ok We see the verse here the example Micah 52 Micah's prophecy identifiesBethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah who will be the ruler over Israel So whatdoes this mean This prophecy aligns with the gospel accounts of Jesus birth in Bethlehem born inBethlehem That's how this lined up and came true So Isaiah the suffering servant let's get into the verse hereleading to healing We know this is this can only be Christ We see the theme of all these propheciesall pointing to Jesus pointing to Christ pointing to the Messiah So this prophecy it captures the redemptive purposeof Christ's sacrifice Christ will come for us He will die for us on the cross He willpay for our sins Isaiah was predicting this So it this is exciting to see how theywere predicted so long ago and they've come true So this what this is meant to dounderlying is give faith in the rest of the Bible that has not come true yet the prophecies thatwe have not seen yet the prophecies that are yet to unfold It's exciting to think about Now Zechariahthis is the triumphal entry OK What is the verse here 99 Zechariah paints apretty particular picture of the Messiah's entry into Jerusalem How will he come into Jerusalem riding on a donkeyWhat is the message here What does it signify humility and victory So this prophecy it aligns with Christ triumphalentry before his crucifixion So you see how this everything lines up and everything worksthe way it's supposed to work Only God only God's hand could make all thesethings work in this exact way Let's look at Isaiah again the light in the darkness Ok Isaiah hada lot of prophecies Isaiah 92 speaks of a great light shining in darkness symbolizing hope symbolizingsalvation So this light as you can imagine is fulfilled in Jesus who proclaimed himselfas the light of the world So Psalm 22 the crucifixion What is the verse here to to give anexample It's not a traditional prophecy but Psalm 22 describes the agony suffering of theMessiah OK with details reminiscent to Jesus crucifixion and his events So we see this going back intothe Psalms as well predicting Christ would come he would be crucified pay for our sins This is whatwould happen this is how it would happen So these prophecies get very exciting They continue to go on andon and we see these predictions we see these predictions of Christ coming what he would do forus how he would do that for us we see in Daniel ok The son of man Danielhas predicted a lot of end times prophecy a lot of prophecy to the kingright A lot of prophecy to the pharaoh So now let's get into Daniel 713 Daniel's vision of the sonof man coming with the clouds symbolizes the Messiah's exaltation and authority Now what does this imagery correspondto to Jesus self identification as the son of man Jesus will come on the clouds Hewill meet us in the clouds This also ties back to revelation Now Malachi themessenger before the Messiah Malachi three OK To explore this a little bit Malachi prophesized about a messengerwho will prepare the way for the Lord who is this messenger later identified asJohn the Baptist You're probably familiar with John you've probably heard of John John prepared the wayfor Jesus So that John went through prepared the way for Jesus was preaching for Jesuswas doing everything for Jesus This was predicted long before John was in that position So again it'svery interesting to see how all of these prophecies were not just built were not just put together we'renot just conveyed but how God had to understand things from so many different perspectives thatwe could not understand which goes to his omniscience knowing everything being everywhere understanding everything So in this lessonOK we've learned about some specific prophecies in the Bible related to Christ There are many more It would takeus hours to go through every single individual prophecy But I recommend you go back throughprophecies that interest you you delve into them a little bit deeper you go through them a little bitdeeper OK These are called topic studies Highly recommend these all the time But the prophecieswe covered related to Christ we went over their verses how they were fulfilled Now you know some themesand connections how they connect thematically OK Throughout the Bible recurring themes just like inthe minor prophets we discussed humility redemption and nature the nature of the Messiah Wetouched on the Old Testament to New Testament Give you a deeper understanding of how theprophecies from the Old Testament were realized in the New Testament And then finally relevance andapplication So learning about the relevance of these prophecies how do we apply them to modern day life Weapply them to our Christian faith We allow them to enrich our understanding of Christ of what Christ did forus how Christ came and also take the approach of understanding that Christ coming waspredicted long before he was here long before he came here in no other way thatcould have been possible other than through divine intervention through God's ultimate divine plan So as we explorethrough these prophecies we see a picture of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises and the centerpieceof redemption and history That is the thread throughout the Bible That is the thread throughout prophecy So thisshould help deepen understanding of Jesus identity mission and overall victory So
