We begin the New Testament with a review of the Old by way of genealogy! Then the entry of Jesus, from conception to the visit of the Magi.

Jesus clarifies but does not cancel the Sabbath, per John's Gospel. Then we see Jews and Gentiles meeting on the Sabbath in the book of Acts!

More from the Gospel accounts of Jesus' keeping of the Sabbath, God's way.

Many fear they are going to fall and so never start. Spurgeon suggests they are not totally trusting Christ.

Matthew. We examine the entire Gospel and find no abrogation of the Sabbath, rather, condemnations about the way it was being kept in Jesus' day.

What happened between the Testaments? Empires Rise and Fall. Alexander. Antiochus Epiphanes. The Maccabees. Hanukkah. Herod. Septuagint. Apocrypha. Synagogs. Dispersion. Pharisees. Sadducees. Scribes. Nature of "Testament". God's choosing of Israel is central.

Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Zechariah... all agree about how serious is the matter of obeying all of God's Law. Also we see how that Law is applied to the heart under the New Covenant. And Zechariah sees the Sabbath in our furture, in the Millennial reign of Jesus.

FINAL OLD TESTAMENT AUDIO (Begun February-2025) Malachi's question and answer technique is classic! And Elijah (has come, is coming, both) ! NEXT TIME: Between the Testaments, 400 years of prophetic silence.

One of the Psalms was written specifically for the Sabbath. And, Isaiah is very specific about the practice of Sabbath worship in the Millennium, when Gentiles and Jews alike observe it.

Zechariah: Nations will come against Jerusalem, and God will come against all nations! Jesus will be King over all the earth! Earth citizens will visit Him year-round. Malachi: Jacob and Esau compared.

The Sabbath. In Leviticus: Listed with the serious principles God wants His people to remember. In Numbers: A demonstration of how God must deal with those who break HIs laws. In Deuteronomy: Celebrate your deliverance!

The Sabbath in Exodus: Before and after Sinai, a commission to the people of God called Israel to keep the Sabbath forever. A part of the moral law of the "10".

Zechariah prophesies prosperity for Israel. He speaks of the triumphal entry and the Jerusalem reign all in one breath. And, he portrays a false shepherd, the fulfillment of whom is Judas and perhaps also antichrist.

The Sabbath came 2,500 years before the Law!

Can we repent without the grace of God causing us to repent? Spurgeon says no.

What about the seventh-day Sabbath? Just for the Jews? Do born-again Christians honor this day? Should they? Come with me on another exploration of a serious Bible topic!

The prophet receives specific promises about the Millennial period, Joshua the High Priest, Zerubbabel, the "Branch" Jesus, Elijah and Enoch, the rebuilding of Babylon, and more...

Haggai: Companion prophet of Zechariah, speaking to Jews after the exile about their need to rebuild the Temple. Zechariah: The "Builders" are coming to undo what the Destroyers have done.

Habakkuk: No matter how bad it gets, I will praise the Lord! Zephaniah: Judgment on the nations. All the nations!

Nahum. Another preacher speaks against Nineveh. No more mercy this time. Habakkuk: The prophet complains about all that is happening and God gives His answer.

Micah borrows a wonderful passage from Isaiah, then goes on to talk about "The Assyrian." His most famous words are probably his prophecy of Messiah coming out of Bethlehem!

Spurgeon connects repentance and forgiveness into one indivisible unity.

Jonah: The Ninevites turn around, but Jonah is not happy about it. Micah: Israel and its rulers rebuked by the prophet of the Lord. But a remnant...

Amos. Familiar pattern, judgment followed by restoration! Obadiah. About Edom, then about the Millennium! Jonah. The boat ride away from God and into the jaws of a huge "fish."

Amos, a shepherd by trade, speaks mighty words of coming judgment to Israel until he is finally told to go down to Judah instead. He refuses, and places God's curse on the messenger.

Joel: He sees Pentecost, the restoration of Israel, final judgments, and the coming Kingdom! Amos: A shepherd given a burden from God for nations surrounding Israel and Israel itself.

Hosea: Beautiful promises to repentant Israel. Joel: The day of the Lord - Judgment!

We must be born again. But we can't do that. We must believe. We can do that... if we are born again. Hear this mystery unfolded by Mr. Spurgeon.

Is it judgment or blessing come to Israel and Judah? Yes, both. See the tenderness of a Father who must chastise his son severely, but out of love.

The history of the Syrian wars, in advance! Then the transition into the end times and the man of sin seen by Paul in 2 Thessalonians 2. Thank God for this book!

Hosea the prophet speaks to Israel and Judah about their sins, but also, like the other prophets, sees a coming day of restoration!

We begin the last message of Daniel, introduced by Gabriel. Rare insights into heavenly warfare. Daniel is prepped for the most amazing prophecy in all of Scripture.

Daniel 9 tells of Daniel's repentance on behalf of Israel, and God's immediate response in the way of a breathtakingly accurate prophecy of Israel's future.

Why people don't come to Jesus, and remedies for them.

The vision of the animals explained by Heaven, and looks like the same interpretation of Daniel 2's statue. Then comes the ram and the goat prophecy and the Spirit's pointing to the location of the antichrist's sources.

Daniel now serves Darius the Median King and is honored in the same way, but not without a challenge from some jealous peers. Also we hear the vison of the four animals.

Nebuchadnezzar seriously humbled, then restored, then a vocal champion for God. But a successor, Belshazzar, isn't buying the story and has to receive a visitation of his own, which Daniel explains. Babylonia is finished.

Nebuchadnezzar creates a statue of his own and demands all worhsip it. Those who refuse - 3 Jewish provincial leaders - are thrown into a fire that has no power over them. Nebuchadnezzar repents. But soon after he is warned about his coming humiliation.

Daniel interprets the dream of a pagan king and gives us an outline of world history from the time of Babylonia until the coming of Jesus to set up His Kingdom!

Spurgeon encourages unbelievers to come to Christ by answering many of their fears.

Ezekiel ends with the division of the land of Israel in the Millennial Kingdom. Daniel opens with a story of the young man of God and his companions, making the best of a terrible situation, and giving glory to the God of their fathers.

Measurements of the Millennial Temple. Description of the offerings and activities. The prince. The Lord's portion of the land in that day. And the earth is rewatered after its poisoning from war.

Gog and Magog: mentioned in Revelation as a battle after the Millennium. Here in Ezekiel, it seems it is a battle before the Millennium, when Christ comes. Armageddon. WW3. Why can't it be both? And we begin the study of the Millennial Temple!

The haunting vision of the dry bones. They are resurrected. They are restored Israel, coming back to their land! Then we begin the war that may follow Israel's restoration, or may come at the end of the Millennial period (Revelation 20:7-10).

Prophecy against the bad shepherds. Israel to be restored! Those thinking Israel is finished and their land can be taken, need to think again.

Faith is the instrument used by the grace of God to save a man. Why?

Awful judgments coming to Egypt. And Ezekiel is warned to be a good watchman.

Tyre's King, and the one inhabiting his body, are addressed and condemned. Preview of antichrist.

The boiling pot parable. Tragedy to hit Ezekiel and he is not to mourn! Various nations judged. Focus on Tyre.

The sword of the Lord! Oholah and Oholibah (Israel and Judah): Who was worse? Spiritual adultery that eventually spread to all the tribes.

Each person is responsible for his own sin: it's not a family thing. History lamentation, parable of the lioness. God is insulted by elders in exile coming to ask pettions of Him now. In spite of all, restoration to the land is promised!
