Main Text: Matthew 21:1-17Jesus approaches His final hour by parading towards Jerusalem with His followers in the midst of explosive reactions by the large crowd chanting “Hosanna to the Son of David” (Matthew 21:9-11).The chapter started with a prophetic act to acclimate His disciples (verses 1-3). He foreknows where the donkeys are and the fact that the owners would lend them. The disciples participated in obedience to the prophetic action in verse 4, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9.The owners complied and the disciples obeyed because … ”The Lord needs them (verse 3).” The prophetic spectacle unfolds before a very large crowd who showed them adulation by “spreading their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them along the road while they cried out words of acknowledgment and worship, identifying Jesus, the miracle worker, as the Messiah, the Blessed Son of David (verses 8-11).The whole city was affected with both exuberance and interest (verses 10-11). After all of this triumphant procession, they arrive at the court of the gentiles in the outer court of the holy temple. Here, Jesus in contrast, Jesus uses some violence to demonstrate His rebuke. What turned His celebrating disposition to one of vivid displeasure (verse 13).The temple became a demonstration of false holiness that was hallow when it comes to those in need of God's help: The people, especially those considered “unclean” in the Old Testament law.Verses 12 – 17His uncharacteristic violent behavior of Jesus (gentle Shepard) verse 12.His message verse 13.The religious establishment were making the house built for prayer and spiritual benefit to a den of robbers (the focus on Commerce and “overcharging” (dishonest money changers?), etc.Not only greedy dishonest commerce but leaving out of their ministry considerations, those considered “unclean” in the Old Testament (“blind, lame, 2 Samuel 5:8; those with physical abnormality (Leviticus 21:7-12) and even children, Matthew 18:1-5, Matthew 21:14-16(.The house of prayer statement in Jesus' rebuke covers more than just praying but also ministering to those spiritually and physically disenfranchised from religious society (21:14-16). Remember when Jesus healed on the Sabbath (the law) Jesus was rebuked by some in the religious leadership; So, the temple was abused by secular minded leadership priesthood, etc. (read Mark 2:23-28).This false holiness was evidenced in some, if not more of the religious leadership: especially the Priests and Scribes.When the chief priests and teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did (for the lame, blind, diseased and poor persons and even the children) … “They became angry” (verse 15). And in contrast the children, not the religious hierarchy, recognized, along with the crowd and His disciples (verses 8-11): They exclaiming “Hosanna in the Highest”; what a radical change!This triumphal entry picture illustrates clearly that even religion given by God on Mt. Sinai can develop wrong priorities: The focus on using religion, even Christianity, for primarily commerce, power, and status. They developed a false idea of holiness without compassion and buildings and related practices without the presence of God, who is love.Even in the Old Testament, this is expounded in Isaiah 58 – What is true fasting (read it).2 Timothy 3:5, producing even Christians that only have a form or an appearance of holiness/godliness but resisting or denying its power to change them. Have nothing to do with them! (unless they repent, Galatians 6:1-2).Finally materialistic commerce focused political and religious priorities are the characteristics of the religious, political economic practices of the Antichrist system, to be destroyed by the Parousia of Jesus: described in Revelation 17, 18, & 19.This is what Matthew's version of Jesus triumphal entry in Matthew 21:1-17 illustrates: Joy, victory transformed by commercially oriented religious people who are then rebuked by Jesus. (See also the church of Laodicea in 3:14-21. But in His rebuked, there is always hope for restoration.AMEN

IntroductionMatthew's genealogy prompts listeners to think about family legacy, reputation, and spiritual lineage. Just as we may judge someone by their family's reputation, Matthew opens with Jesus' lineage to show both the brokenness and faithfulness found in God's people. He highlights deeply flawed individuals. There are high performers and not-so-high performers. Matthew shows us that God works through an imperfect line and people to bring about the Messiah. The discouraging side of the genealogy reminds us that sin runs through human history since the fall. However, the encouraging truth is that God knows the family he needs to redeem. Who Is Joseph?Joseph enters the narrative at the hinge between Israel's history and Christ's birth. His name itself recalls the patriarch Joseph, the son of Jacob. He recalls a very broken history.Joseph was betrayed, cast down, and yet exalted for the preservation of God's people. Joseph's predicament is a result of his brothers, who sold him into slavery. He was sold because of the rivalry that raged in Jacob/Israel's house. We recall the tragedy of Jacob's story, but the Lord does not give up on his people. Joseph, in Matthew's story, also plays his role in the covenant story. He is the unsung hero. He is righteous and seeks to do what is right to honor the Lord. God's story of redemption continues through generations, proving that His purposes never depend on perfect people but on His steadfast covenant faithfulness. How Is Joseph the Son of David?The genealogy reveals Joseph's descent from David's royal line. It is not through biological perfection, but through God's covenant promise. The angel addresses him deliberately as “Joseph, son of David,” affirming his role as the legal father of Jesus. The Lord vowed that the Lord would build David's house forever (2 Samuel 7). Joseph testifies that God kept his promise. Matthew arranges his genealogy in three sets of fourteen generations. This assures us that God's deliberate design, from David to Jeconiah, from exile to restoration, climaxing in Christ, the “seventh seven,” is God's plan. God has been with his people every season. Joseph's righteousness is not defined by faultless moral performance but by his desire to discern what is pleasing to God. When he wrestles with anger, betrayal, and uncertainty, he displays righteousness by seeking to honor God's will rather than his own emotions. The faithfulness of David's line, despite its failures, reaches fulfillment in Christ's advent. Joseph assures us that God's people will bear fruit of their redeemer's power. God will prevail despite his people. Why Is This Marriage So Important?Here lies the crisis of the narrative: God's redemptive plan seems fragile, hinging on whether Joseph will trust the messenger's word and take Mary as his wife. If Joseph fails to take her, then God's plan falls flat. The messiah did not come through the line of Judah and David's line. Joseph takes Mary as his wife and names the child Jesus, acknowledging Him as his legal son. Joseph secures Christ's standing in the Davidic line. His naming Jesus, Yahweh Saves, shows his submission to God's plan. Joseph embraces public shame by taking Mary as his wife. Joseph forfeits his paternal right by naming the child Jesus. Truly, Jesus is God's Son. Joseph submits to God's plan. This is why Joseph is a righteous man. He seeks to do what pleases the Lord by walking humbly before our God. (Micah 6:5)ConclusionMatthew's account calls us to contemplate the beauty of divine sovereignty expressed through frail humanity. God entrusts His promises not to the powerful or perfect but to those who wait upon the Lord. The ones who believe the promises of God. The ones who seek to please their God as live out of gratitude. Joseph's story teaches that righteousness is not about mastery of the law but humble trust in God's redemptive plan. The genealogy of Christ tells us one thing: God triumphs over human sin and carries His covenant promises despite every human failure. Through Emmanuel, “God with us,” the fractured family of humanity becomes redeemed and restored. Just as Joseph obeyed in faith, we too abide in confidence that God's promises will never fall flat. He saves His people from their sins, fulfills His covenant, and draws us into His eternal family. Let think about the joy of being called into God's family.
Pastor Tyler Downing in Matthew 1:18-25 invites us to honor the Lord by faithfully embracing the specific life He's ordained for us, using Joseph as an example of compassionate justice, obedient faith, and humble recognition of his own need for a Savior as he names the child “Jesus.” He ties Joseph's story to our own deep longings, echoing C.S. Lewis' insight that desires this world can't satisfy point us to the reality that we were made for another world, and ultimately for Christ Himself.

The Messianic prophecies when compared with the historical events that occurred have impact in several ways. They validate the Messiah; affirm God’s integrity; encourage hope; reveal Yahweh's eternal plan; and unite the Old and New Testaments. Genesis 3:15 A brief introduction to the rest of the Bible and history Seed of the woman – Matthew 1:16 Joseph, the husband [father] of Mary Matthew 1:17 42 generations but not if it ends with Joseph, Mary's husband Luke 3:23 Eli is the father of Joseph – Matthew1:16 Jacob is the father of Joseph. Luke 3:31 Nathan, son David – Matthew 1:6 Solomon, son of David Matthew 1:19-24; Isaiah 7:14 Isaiah 7:1-16 There was a child born in the time of Ahaz who was called “Immanuel”. This is dual prophecy as it also relates to Jesus. Revelation 3:12 states Jesus will have a new name; perhaps then he will be called “Immanuel”. Luke 1:26-38 Throne of David REV Luke 1:34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, seeing I do not know a man sexually?” KJV Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Isaiah 11:1-2 Isaiah 9:1-7 Dual prophecy regarding Hezekiah and Jesus The post Birth of Christ 1: Messianic Prophecy first appeared on Living Hope.

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, he fulfills Old Testament prophesies, opening the eyes of the blind and revealing himself as the humble King.
“In the second century, Jewish teachers applied it to Hezekiah (Justin Martry, Dialogue with Trypho, 33, 83)” Lewis, Matthew 14-28; 108.110:1 seems quoted or alluded to in Matt. 26:63-64; Mark 16:19; Acts 2:34-35; 5:30-32; 7:55-56; Rom. 8:34; I Cor. 15:25; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3, 13; 8:1; 10:12-13; 12:2; I Peter 3:22.Lessons from this section Mark 12:35-37 paralleled by Matthew 21:41-46; Luke 20:41-44“Psalm 110 is the psalm most frequently quoted and alluded to in the New Testament. See also Matt. 22:44; 26:64; Mark 14:62; (16:19); Luke 20:42-43; 22:69; Acts 2:34-45; Romans 2:5; 8:34; 11:29; I Cor. 15:25; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3; 5:6, 10; 6:20; 7:3, 11, 15, 17, 21; 8:1; 10:12-13; 12:2” Brooks, Mark, 200. Psalm 110:1 is quoted 14 times in the NT- NICOT, Psalms, 838.What are we told about Psalm 110, from Mark 12:35-37; Matt. 22:41-46; Luke 20:41-44?1. David is the author of Psalm 110- Jesus affirms this in Mark 12:36, 37- αυτος Δανιδ- David himself. The same point is made in Matt. 22:43 and Luke 20:42. “Jesus first affirmed the Davidic authorship of Ps. 110, something that is usually denied by modern scholarship” Brooks, Mark, 200. 2. David speaks by inspiration- In Mark 12:36 εν τω πνευματι τω αγιω- in the Holy Spirit. Matt 22:43 says, “in the Spirit.”These are not simply David's words but God's words. The same point is made about David and the Psalms in Acts 1:16; 4:25-26. “Jesus attributes a statement of Psalm 110:1 to David, inspired by the Spirit (cf. II Sam. 23:2)” Lewis, Matthew, 107.3. Psalm 110 speaks of the Messiah- David himself calls Him- Mark 12:37; also see Matt. 22:43; Luke 20:44.This interpretation of Psalm 110 is assumed as common ground between Jesus and the scribes- Mark 12:35; and Pharisees- Matt. 22:41. Acts 2:33-35 quotes Psalm 110:1 and stresses that is not David who ascended into heaven but that this is fulfilled in the Messiah/ the Christ. 4. The Messiah is David's Lord- David himself calls Him “Lord”- Mark 12:37; see also Matt. 22:44; Luke 20:44.The OT gives abundant evidence that the Messiah will be of the line of David- II Sam. 7:11-16; 22:51; Psalm 18:50; Isaiah 9:6-7; 11:1-9; 16:5; Jer. 23:5-6; 30:8-9; 33:15, 17, 22; Ezek. 34:23-24; 37:24; Hosea 3:5; Amos 9:11. The gospel of Matthew especially emphasizes Jesus as the Son of David- Matthew 1:1; 9:27; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30-31; 21:9, 15. The point is not to deny that the Messiah is the “son of David” but to state that answer is incomplete. He is both David's son and David's Lord. “The startling fact that David spoke of a king as ‘my lord' was pointed out by Christ, who left His hearers to think out its implications, and His apostles to spell them out” Kidner, 393. “The first Lord is God; the second is the Messiah. In Greek speech the slave described his master as my lord: the underling described his superior in the same way. The king, however, is at the top of the ladder. Whom could he describe in the phrase? A father does not address his son as ‘my Lord.' The figure David addressed must be his superior; how then is He David's son? None could answer. Nor is there an answer short of a knowledge of the divine nature of the Messiah of which they know nothing” Lewis, 107-108. 5. Psalm 110 expresses the relationship between the LORD/God and the Messiah/Christ The Messiah is a distinct “person” from the LORD- Mark 12:36; Psalm 110:1 “The LORD- YHWH- said to m
Preaching Point: Clearly perceiving our desperate plight, we must trust in Jesus Christ as the central figure of our salvation while anticipating his return to rule on the throne of David forever. Main Text: Matthew 9:27–31 (ESV) 27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.” 31 But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

Blind Men Can “See” the Son of David
2 Samuel 7:12-16 God promised David that He would raise up one of his descendants to build God's house and to rule on the throne forever. David's son, Solomon, failed to live up to that expectation; as did Rehoboam, his grandson. Jeremiah 23:5 Most of David's descendants who reigned as kings did not serve God well, though a couple did. By the time of Jeremiah, hope was waning. God reaffirmed His commitment to David, promising to raise up a descendant to reign as king in the land. Luke 1:30-33 By the time of Jesus, it had been a millennium since God's promise to David and five centuries since Jeremiah's prophecy. Still, the Jewish people held out hope that one day the Messiah would come. Then God sent His angel Gabriel to Mary and promised that the time of waiting was finally over. Psalm 2:1-9 This second messianic prophecy tells us that the Son of God was not just the king of Israel. Additionally, he will receive the nations as his inheritance and the ends of the earth as his possession. Son of God Messiah (Luke 4:41; John 20:31) Son of David (Matthew 12:22-23) King of Israel (John 1:49; Matthew 27:42-43) Matthew 4:8-11 What qualifies Jesus to be the Messiah is that he has already passed the ultimate test. The devil offered him all the kingdoms of the world and he said, “No,” preferring instead to trust God's way. Matthew 10:37-39 Is Jesus your King? Have you committed yourself to his Kingdom? Anyone can come to him. Anyone can follow him. Anyone can receive salvation. The only requirement is total and absolute commitment.The post Jesus is the Messiah first appeared on Living Hope.

The prophet Isaiah declared, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” What is the identity of the “son” this prophecy speaks about? This advent series will answer that question by focusing on the birth and work of Jesus from the distinctive perspectives of each of the four Gospels.
Text: Matthew 1:1-17 Jesus' Lineage Covers God's Promises to Abraham and David (Matthew 1:1) God's promise to Abraham: “In you, all the families of the earth will be blessed.” (Gen. 12:1-3) God's promise to David: “Your throne will be established forever.” (2 Sam 7:8-16) This genealogy underscores the faithfulness of God to keep His promise to send a Savior. Jesus' Lineage Contains a Cast of Unlikely Characters (Matthew 1:2-16) Each name is a sinner that God chose to use for His glory. When we take time to consider this list, we come away in awe of God's grace toward sinners. Jesus' Lineage Confirms His Messiahship (Matthew 1:17) Jesus is the prophesied Son of God who would come to redeem His people.

313: People who “yes-butt” you. People who resist exposure. Does God exist? Does the “self” exist? How to you justify Ellis? "Should" we care about Putin's war on Ukraine? " 1. Rhonda asks: How can you respond to someone who yes-butts you? 2. Thomas asks: Do we have a self? Does God exist? 3. Thomas also asks: Ellis said we should upset ourselves over someone else's problems, but how about Putin, and Russia? Note: The answers below were generated prior to the podcast, and the information provided on the live podcast may be richer and different in a number of ways. 1. Rhonda asks: How can you respond to someone who yes-butts you? David's Reply Thanks, Rhonda. We can demonstrate this with Matt on the podcast recording later today! Matt's Reply: The answer is to fall back to Empathy and try to see how we are creating the problem. For example, when we are giving advice, we may have fallen into a trap, in which we are getting ahead of their resistance and would want to get behind it. As often happens, the question, and its answer, went in an unexpected direction. Rhonda, like many therapists, noticed that one of her social anxiety patients was subtly resisting exposure—facing her fears. Matt and Rhonda model how to respond to patients who keep putting off the exposure. This answer illustrates how therapists and the general public alike can improve your use of the Five Secrets of Effective Communication (LINK) with the use of “Deliberate Practice,” with role reversals and immediate feedback on your technique. Rhonda starts with a low grade, and then rapidly achieves an A grade! Click here for the Five Secrets of Effective Communication 2. Thomas asks: Do we have a self? Does God exist? Thank you for giving me your time and attention. I appreciate it, even if we don't agree. I have talked about whether or not God and the self exist. David Hume made the argument about not having a self, only perception. Of course, questions arise if we don't have a “self.” Thomas Thomas also comments on Nathaniel Brandon: Why do we use the words who? Him? Her? He she they.?? I certainly don't believe Nathaniel Brandon's horseshit. He talks about a teenage self, a father self, and a child self And all that is just horseshit. But do we have any self? David's response: Hi Thomas, Thanks for your question! You ask, “But do we have any self?” You ask about God, too. People have been asking for my chapter on the “Death of the Self,” and my efforts to debunk the idea of a “self.” I have not had the time and motivation to bring that chapter back to life, since it is so hard for people to “get” what I've been trying to say, which is exactly what Wittgenstein and the Buddha were trying to say. But I will try to share one idea with you, in the hopes that it might make sense. As I have previously suggested, these questions about some “self” or “God” have no meaning. For example, how about this question: ‘What would it look like if someone had no ‘self?' What, exactly, are we talking about? I know what this question means: “So you think Henry is too high on himself.” This means that we think some person named Henry is arrogant or narcissistic, something like that, and we want to know if someone agrees with us. I understand this question, it makes sense. There is a distinct difference between people who are quite humble and folks who are overly impressed with themselves. So, we are talking and using words in a way that has meaning and makes sense. However, I cannot answer the following question because it does not make any sense to me: “Does Henry have a ‘self'?” So, this question, to me, is language that is out of gear, like a car in neutral gear. No matter how hard you press on the accelerator, it will not move forward or backward. If you cannot “see” or “grasp” the difference between my examples of a meaningful question and a nonsensical non-question, that's okay. In my experience, few people can grasp or “get” this. But to me, the difference is quite obvious. Is it okay if I use your email as a somewhat edited “Ask David?” I can change your name if you prefer. I don't think people will “get” my answer, but hope springs eternal! David Matt's Response Many brilliant minds have addressed this question in more eloquent and thorough ways than I could, including the Stanford-trained neurologist and philosopher, Sam Harris, in his book, ‘Free Will' and Jay Garfield in his book, ‘Losing Ourselves' There's very little I can say, about this topic, that hasn't been said more eloquently by individuals like these and many others. Meanwhile, I'm glad that this question has arisen on the podcast because I see clinical utility in the implications of this question, including in the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger, narcissistic pride and relationship problems. For example, I might be thinking, ‘I'm so mad at my (bad) self for eating all those cookies'. Or, I'm so proud of myself for making a million dollars'. I might start to think I deserve more, because of my special self and feel superior and angry, ‘that persons (bad self) shouldn't have cut me off in traffic!'. When we take the ‘self' out of the equation, we realize that these thoughts don't make sense. If our brains are just following the laws of physics, without any self, jumping in there to influence the process, then we couldn't have done differently, with the brains we had, and neither could anyone else. Hence, the idea that people have ‘selves', which can be good or bad, make decisions and the like, is a setup for suffering. In the cookie example, I would have to train my brain, through practice with therapy methods, to develop a different set of habits, rewiring of my brain, to reach for a salad rather than a cookie. I can't simply insist that my ‘self' rewire my brain for me. I'd have to practice and do my TEAM therapy homework! Anger and Narcissism are some of the hardest-to-defeat problems. However, realizing other people are simply doing what their brains are programmed to do, takes away the anger and blame. Just like we wouldn't hold a grudge for years against a wild animal that bit us, we could also forgive and accept a person who bit us. and we can't feel unnecessarily superior or proud of our ‘self' if we accomplish something wonderful, because we don't' have a ‘self' that did those things, just a brain and the right environment, neither of which we can take credit for. This approach is called ‘reattribution' in TEAM, which is useful for defeating ‘self-blame' and ‘other (self) blame'. Here are some other methods to leverage the no-self concept and free your mind of this hazardous way of thinking: 1. Experimental Technique: Try to define what a ‘self' is. Then conduct an experiment to see whether the self is capable of doing the things you think it can do. For example, can your ‘self' stop understanding the words you are seeing on this page? Or does your brain helplessly decipher the shapes of these letters into meaningful sounds and language? Can your self exert its free will to decide to focus exclusively on one thing for one minute, like your breath or a point on the wall? It can't. If your self can't do such simple tasks, what can it do? One can see meditation as a kind of ‘experiment' to see whether our ‘self' is calling the shots, using its free will, or if our brains are just doing what brains do. 2. Socratic Questioning: You can ask questions that can't be answered to show that the ‘self' is more like a ‘unicorn' than a cat. For example, how big is the ‘self'? What's it made of? Where is it located? Can you see it on a MRI? No radiologist has ever visualized a ‘self' and you probably realize you can't answer these questions, any more than you can, ‘what do Unicorns like to eat?', bringing us closer to understanding that it's probably a made up thing. 3. Examine the Evidence: What evidence is there that there's a Self? What evidence is there that there is no self? On the latter side, Consider Occam's Razor, which suggests that the better hypothesis is the simpler one which still explains the observations. One hypothesis is we have a brain generating consciousness. Another hypothesis is that we have a brain that generates consciousness and a self that is having those experiences, operating the brain. Based on Occam's Razor, the better hypothesis is the former, that we have a brain creating consciousness. 4. Outcome Resistance: People get scared off by the idea that there's no self or free will, that their brain is making decisions, without a self intervening. In Christian Tradition, for example, Thomas Aquinas essentially invented the concept of ‘free will' so that God's punishment of Adam and Eve could be explained, morally. Otherwise, God would seem rather cruel, to create a system where he knew that would happen. This is an example of how ‘free will' and the ‘self' are linked to blame and anger. Even if you don't believe in God, you might be concerned that the idea that there is no free will would mean that the criminal justice system would fall apart. Criminals could say, ‘I had no choice'. Talking back to these elements of ‘resistance' could help free one's mind. For example, without free will, it's true that blaming other people and retaliatory justice wouldn't make sense. However, one could still enforce laws, only in a compassionate way, for the sake of protecting others making the same mistake. A murderer, if they realized this, could mind meaning in fulfilling their sentence, realizing they were doing a service to humanity, rather than being punished for their bad self. Instead of seeing other people as having ‘bad' selves, we can have a sense of sadness, connection and concern, even with a murderer, when carrying out justice, understanding that, ‘there but for the grace of God, go I'. David mentions, in passing, a mild red flag with the concept of "free will." He points out that this is another concept, like "God" or the "self," that has no meaning, if you really grasp what Ludwig Wittgenstein was trying to say in his classic book, Philosophical Investigations. One way to "see" this, although it is admittedly almost impossible to "see:" because it is so simple and obvious, would be to ask yourself, "What would it look like if we "had" something called "free will?" And what would it look like if we "didn't?" The question is NOT "do we have free will," but rather, "Does this concept have any meaning? Once you suddenly "see" that the answer is no, you will be liberated from many philosophical dilemmas. But as they say, enlightenment can be a lonely road! the Buddha, as well as Wittgenstein, ran into this problem that people could not "grasp" the simple and obvious things they were trying so hard to say! As humans, we get spellbound by the words we using, thinking that nouns, like "self," must refer to some "thing" that either exists or doesn't exist! To my way of thinking the question is NOT "Does god exist" or "do human have free will," but rather, do these questions make sense? Do they mean anything? The answer, to my way of thinking (DB), is no. However, . . . you might not "get" this! 3. Thomas also asks about Dr. Albert Ellis Hi David, Do you agree with Ellis that one is better off without making oneself upset over other people's problems? What about Putin and Russia and all the violence, another mass shooting, and trump running for president again? Ellis didn't think one should be disturbed about these things. Or at least upset. What do you think? David's reply Hi Thomas: Here's my take. Healthy and appropriate negative feelings exist! One SHOULD be upset by horrific war crimes. I suspect that if Beck and Ellis, were they still alive, they would both strongly agree, but of course, I cannot speak for them! Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David!

We begin the book showing how Jesus filled the role of King of Israel. This session discusses the conditions in Israel when Jesus was born and God's big promises to Israel. We trace many of the passages where Jesus is called the Son of David and the passages where the Bible speaks of the covenants to Abraham, Moses, and David. How did Jesus fulfill the Davidic and Abrahamic covenants? What are the purposes for the genealogy and what can it tell us? Can we trust God to keep His promises? Are God's promises to Israel still in place? Can we use the Biblical genealogies to calculate the age of the earth? Support the show
