Throughout the Bible Israel and the church are compared to sheep.  Jesus is the true shepherd.  Pastors are under-shepherds but should take care of the sheep.  This week we continue to teach how outreach/evangelism is a good thing but the modern day church has become so evangelistic focused that the sheep (brothers and sisters in Christ) are being neglected.   The sheep should never be neglected for the sake of the ministry.  Pastor Wigfall teaches from John chapters 10 and 9, Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 34 and Psalms 23.  All these chapters and others show the characteristics of good shepherds and bad shepherds.  If the character of the under shepherd does not reflect Jesus then the under shepherd may be a hireling.  The religious leaders in the Bible were hirelings but the Bible shows what a true shepherd should be.

This panel discussion among leading scholars placed the controversial phenomenon of “Christian Zionism” in the context of American’s historical fascination with biblical themes of covenant and redemption.

SCRIPTURE: Colossians 1, 1 Corinthians 1REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:When did you first hear the Gospel? How would you define the Gospel?On Sunday, Kenny said that we need to ‘put the news back in the Good News.’ What do you think he meant by this? In what way is the Gospel “news”? About what/whom?How is the Story of Jesus built on the Story of the Bible/Israel?In your own words, how does Jesus accomplish God’s Plan of Salvation?What do you think Kenny meant when he said that we also need to ‘change our perspective’ so we can see ‘how we fit into God’s story instead of how God fits into ours’?What is convicting to you about the message/topic this week? How can you grow from here?

Over the last month as we watched the Washington Nationals' postseason run unfold, there are clear moments that stand out as pivotal, crucial to the storyline as it developed. This Sunday we come to one of those pivotal, crucial moments in the storyline of the Bible - Israel at Mount Sinai. Now that God had saved the Israelites from Egypt, and brought them out into the wilderness, He invited them into a covenantal relationship, that Yahweh would be their God and the Israelites would be His people, His treasured possession and a kingdom of priests. I can't wait to open this transcendent text with you and see together how it sets the course for the rest of redemptive history in the biblical storyline.

This episode continues our series on the development of the character of God in the Bible. In this episode, the guys discuss one of the strangest stories in the Bible: Israel and the golden calf in Exodus 32. In part one (00:00-09:45), the guys review the idea that God primarily interacts with the world through a human mediator. Understanding how God interacted with Israel through Moses is key to understanding this important theme in the Bible. Tim points out that in the Old Testament, the two most important personal portraits to understand are David and Moses. They are the two people who get the most page length in the Old Testament. Tim says that Moses' story should be creating a role, an expectation that the world would be a better place if there were more Moses-like characters who are intimately tied with Yahweh. In part two (09:45-21:20), the guys talk about the story of the golden calf in Exodus 32. Moses represents Israel to God and he represents God to Israel. Tim points out a strange detail of the story. God says he wants to destroy Israel, but then it seems as though God changes his mind after Moses implored him to reconsider. Tim says this story has puzzled all Bible readers over thousands of years. Does God change his mind based on human input? Tim quotes from biblical scholar Christopher Wright's commentary on Deuteronomy: “This story explores the mystery about prayer in general and intercession in particular, and raises questions: Was God really serious in this declared threat? If Moses had not interceded, would God have carried out the destruction of Israel? If God was not really planning to destroy the people (10:10b), did God only “pretend” to listen to Moses’ prayer? Did Moses actually change God’s mind? It seems important first of all to say that there is not much point in wrestling with alternative hypothetical scenarios posed by such questions. Asking “what if” serves little theological purpose. Both God and Moses appear to be behaving straightforwardly. There is nothing in the text to suggest that God’s anger was overdone for mere effect; no suggestion that God’s threat was a bluff intended to secure a hasty repentance. The threat of destruction was real. Likewise, Moses’ reaction to the divine wrath was not a patronizing dismissal of authority, like saying, “You can’t be serious!” Rather, Moses recognized that this was a sincere threat that could be countered only with appeal to prior words and actions of the same God. The paradox is that in appealing to God to change, he was actually appealing to God to be consistent —which may be a significant clue to the dynamic of all genuine intercessory prayer. Yet perhaps there is a hint of the divine intention in God’s fascinating words, Leave me alone… (v. 14). The discussion of this line in Jewish scholarship has sensed deep meaning here. After all, God need not have spoken such words, or indeed any words at all, to Moses. In wrath God could have acted “immediately” without informing or consulting Moses in any way. God pauses and makes the divine will “vulnerable” to human challenge. The fact is that, far from human intercession being an irritating but occasionally successful intrusion upon divinely prefabricated blueprints for history, Moses’ prayer becomes an integral part of the way God’s sovereignty in history is exercised. That does not totally solve the mystery, but it puts it in its proper biblical perspective. God not only allows human intercession, God invites it and builds it into the decision-making processes of the heavenly council in ways we can never fathom. “God takes Moses’ contribution with utmost seriousness; God’s acquiescence to the arguments indicates that God treats the conversation with Moses with integrity and honors the human insight as an important ingredient for the shaping of the future” Intercessory prayer, then, flows primarily not from human anxiety about God but from God’s commitment to covenant relationship with human beings…. Moses was not so much arguing against God, as participating in an argument within God. Such prayer, therefore, not only participates in the pain of God in history, but is actually invited to do so for God’s sake as well as ours. This is a measure of the infinite value to God of commitment to persons in covenant relationship. The Point: The figure of Moses in the Torah creates a portrait of the kind of figure necessary for God and humanity to exist together in successful covenant relationship. Moses’ eventual failure in the wilderness (Numbers ch. 21) disqualifies him for the role he filled. His story creates a “Help Wanted” sign in the biblical narrative.” In part three (21:20-33:30), the guys continue to discuss the story of the golden calf. Jon summarizes Tim’s position. Tim draws another parallel to the story of the great flood in Genesis. God destroys all of humanity except for Noah and his family. Then God says that “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil, from his youth” (Genesis 8:21). This is a paradox; God has just pronounced mankind as evil, but he refuses to destroy them or break relationship with them. Tim says that the Hebrew Bible is pointing forward to a person who they want to be a “better Moses.” In part four (33:30-39:50), Tim shares a quote from The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. “One must face the fact that all the talk about His love for men, and His service being perfect freedom, is not (as one would gladly believe) mere propaganda, but an appalling truth. He really does want to fill the universe with a lot of loathsome little replicas of Himself—creatures, whose life, on its miniature scale, will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has absorbed them but because their wills freely conform to His. We want cattle who can finally become food. He wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has drawn all other beings into himself: the Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct.” In part five (39:50-end), Tim shares the evolution of the portrait of Moses in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah says that the hoped for figure who can save Israel is a mashup between the best characteristics of David and Moses. Israel needs a priest and a king; this person is Jesus. But Jon makes a point that if the idea is that Israel only needs an “exalted human” to save them, then theology like a Jehovah’s Witness that claims that Jesus was only an exalted human begins to form. Tim sees this point. Many people throughout history have thought that Jesus was only an “exalted human,” but the apostles and authors of the New Testament believed that Jesus was also divine. For example in 2 Corinthians 3-4 and the book of Hebrews, the claim is that Jesus was not just “another Moses,” he was greater than Moses. Tim says that the New Testament author's claims that Jesus is divine can sometimes be hard to see to modern readers because they make the claims in very Jewish ways. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2 that Jesus is “the wisdom of God.” This sounds nice to modern readers, but to an ancient Hebrew rabbi, it would be blasphemous because claiming to be his wisdom is equivalent to claiming to be one with God. Ancient Jews would have no problem claiming that Jesus was a mediator “like” Moses, but saying he was greater eventually leads to the split between the Messianic Jews and other Jewish communities.

The Palestinian Covenant: The mystery and true message behind the Palestinian Covenant; Part 2. Friday, March 14, 2008 The Abrahamic covenant emphasizes the race for client nation Israel; the Palestinian covenant emphasizes and reiterates the land for client nation Israel. God revealed His power in the midst of all the cosmic odds against us. God endeavored and accomplished to go and take for Himself a nation of people (the Jews, or Israel) from the midst of another nation (Egypt), by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors. It was in a desert utterly unfriendly to human life that they would also be sustained for forty years. 1. Trials - macot = to try or prove. 2. DEU 4:34 “by signs” - ‘otot = to come near; such signs as God gave them of His continual presence and providence, particularly the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire, keeping near to them night and day, and always directing their journeys, showing them when and where to pitch their tents. 3. DEU 4:34 “and wonders” - mowpªtiym = to persuade; persuasive facts and events. Whether strictly miraculous, and exceeding the powers of nature, or not. It also refers to typical men, raised up by God as types of Christ, and proofs that God would bring His servant The BRANCH. 4. DEU 4:34 “and by war” - milchaamaah = hostile engagements; such as those with the Amalekites, the Amorites, and the Bashanites, in which the hand of God was seen rather than the hand of man. 5. DEU 4:34 “and by a mighty hand” - yaad = one that is strong to deal its blows, irresistible in its operations, and grasps its enemies hard so that they cannot escape, and protects its friends so powerfully that they cannot be injured. DEU 4:34 “and by an outstretched arm” - uwbizrowa` = a series of almighty operations, following each other in quick astonishing succession. a. The finger of God denotes any manifestation of the divine power, where effects are produced beyond the power of art or nature. b. The hand of God signifies the same power, but put forth in a more signal manner. c. The arm of God = the divine omnipotence manifested in the most stupendous miracles. d. The arm of God stretched out = this same omnipotence exerted in a continuation of stupendous miracles, both in the way of judgment and mercy. 7. DEU 4:34 “and by great terrors” - mowraa'iym = such terror, dismay, as were produced by the ten plagues. These were all reminders of the Abrahamic Covenant, and therefore the Palestinian covenant is the reassurance that the Jews would possess the real estate that God promised Abraham. He is speaking of the fact that He knew they were going to rebel; however, He made a provision for that as well. PSA 78:40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert! The rejection of Israel and the desolation of the promised inheritance were not to be the end of God's dealings with them. The chastisements of God would lead the nation to repent, and thereupon God would again bless them. The “turning again of the captivity” will be when Israel is converted to Him in whom the Law was fulfilled, and who died “not for that nation only,” but also that He might “gather together in one all those who were scattered abroad.” The blessing in this connection can be explained on the ground that Moses was surveying the future generally, in which not only a curse but a blessing also would come upon the nation, according to its attitude towards the Lord as a whole and in its pivot of mature believers. ROM 11:4 But what is the divine response to him? “I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” Even in times of great apostasy, there would always be a pivot which could not die out. Covenant theology agrees with Islam which is Anti-Jewish. For in the Al Maidah (The Table): “Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your friends: they are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship Shall become one of their number, and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian, called “wrong-doers”) 5:51-5:74. According to the Bible Israel is not to be cast off, JER 31:36-37. JER 31:35 Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The Lord of hosts is His name: JER 31:36 “If this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the Lord, “Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a nation before Me forever.” JER 31:37 Thus says the Lord, “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the Lord. ACT 1:6 And so when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” ACT 1:7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;” JER 32:38-39 And they shall be My people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good, and for {the good of} their children after them. EZE 11:19 And I shall give them one heart, and shall put a new spirit within them. And I shall take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, The Palestinian covenant reaffirms to Israel their title deed to the land of promise. In spite of their unfaithfulness and unbelief, the Palestinian covenant confirms their promised land. 1. The nation will be plucked off the land for its unfaithfulness, DEU 28:63-68; DEU 30:1-3. 2. There will be a future repentance of Israel, DEU 28:63-68; 30:1-3. 3. Their Messiah will return, DEU 30:3-6. 4. Israel will be restored to the land, DEU 30:5. 5. Israel will be converted as a nation, DEU 30:4-8; ROM 11:26-27. 6. Israel's enemies will be judged, DEU 30:7. 7. The nation will then receive her full blessing, DEU 30:9. EZE 16:1-7 - God affirms His love for Israel in her infant stage. EZE 16:8-14 - God reminds Israel that she was chosen and related to Jehovah by marriage, but in EZE 16:15:34 she played the harlot. The punishment of dispersion was dealt to Israel, EZE 16:35-52. This is not the final setting of Israel since there will be restoration, EZE 16:53-63. The restoration is based on the promise, EZE 16:60-62. The church is not Israel, Israel is Israel and therefore God's promises to Israel will be fulfilled, ROM 11:26-27;HOS 2:14-23; DEU 30:6; EZE 11:16-21. 1. Israel must be converted as a nation. 2. Israel must be regathered from her world-wide dispersion and installed in her land. 3. She must witness the judgment of her enemies. 4. She must receive the material blessings graciously promised to her. The conclusion: Don't mess around with Israel! - GEN 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.
