Isaiah 9:6–7 contains some of the most famous words in the Old Testament: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." Yet one of the most surprising facts about this passage is that it is never directly quoted in the New Testament. Why would such an obviously messianic prophecy receive so little explicit attention?In this episode, we explore Isaiah's prophecy within its original historical setting and examine why its promises ultimately extend beyond any merely human king in David's line. We discuss how Isaiah envisions a royal son whose reign brings unending peace, whose government continually increases, and whose sovereignty never diminishes. Unlike the kings of Judah who repeatedly became vassals and "sons" of foreign empires, this Davidic ruler remains permanently sovereign and exercises an enduring fatherly rule over his people.We also examine how the titles "Wonderful Counselor," "Mighty God," "Everlasting Father," and "Prince of Peace" function within Isaiah's vision and why they point toward a messianic figure whose identity transcends that of an ordinary king.Turning to Ephesians 2:14–17, we consider how Jesus begins to fulfill the role of the Prince of Peace. Before establishing peace among people, Christ first overcomes hostility in his own flesh, reconciling Jew and Gentile through the cross. Peace is first established in the person of the Messiah himself and then extended outward through the creation of a new peaceful humanity that participates in his peaceful new humanity.Along the way, we explore an important hermeneutical principle: the identity of the promised child is revealed in Christ at his first coming, but the full accomplishments of his reign remain incomplete. Isaiah's vision reaches beyond Bethlehem and Calvary toward the future consummation of Christ's kingdom, when the peace, justice, and sovereignty promised to David's son will finally fill the earth.Join us as we examine one of Scripture's most overlooked messianic prophecies and consider how Isaiah 9:6–7 points both to what Christ has already accomplished and to what he will yet accomplish when he comes again.Key Passages: Isaiah 9:6-7Ephesians 2:14-17Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.

Often Joseph seems to fade into the background of the Christmas story…but if we look closer we will see that he is a very special and powerful part of the life of Christ. It is through Joseph that Jesus is given an earthly father to raise Him but also a spiritual heritage that places Him in the line of Kings fulfilling Biblical prophecy. Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we look at the Birth of Christ and see all the gifts waiting for us in the events that led up to the coming of Emmanuel.
From Isaiah 9:1-7 we see the Darkness of the Nations, the Divine King, and the Dominion of the Kingdom.
Jesus is the only Divine King who can save us in every way.

The Pharisees knew the Psalms, but Jesus' question about Psalm 110 left them speechless. Why does David call the Messiah "Lord"? How can the Son of David also be his Lord? As we dive further into this psalm we can begin to see this Lord as Divine King, Eternal Priest, and Ultimate Victor. And just who is this Divine Messiah? The New Testament is very clear: Jesus.

Daniel 3Greetings, if you would like to support Free Gospel Church and our ministries, you can make a donation at FreeGospelAssembly.com. Thank you for listening. If this message has blessed you please share it, that others may hear! God bless you.Tale of the three Hebrew magistrates in Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon where theKing was Divine and Generous to His captives: even gave some very importantresponsibilities in his kingdom, like Daniel (Chapters 2-3). And not everyone in thekingdom was happy with this. Therefore intrigue results around the universal decree to worship a sacred statue of the Divine King. This call was applicable to all people, even the Hebrews. This was not considered an unreasonable request from the generouspotentate in pagan societies, even in Jesus day, but it put them in conflict with the First Commandment and They went from a comfortable place to a dangerous place inBabylon.

On Thursday March 12th, 2020 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review and discuss "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" (2009) and other works translated by Mamdouh Al Daye otherwise known as Nineveh Shadrach. Nineveh is a Golden Dawn adept whom we have known since 1998 when he sent us a copy of his first book "The Magical Tome of a Divine King;" this was also a Solomonic grimoire in Arabic called "The Medicine of Solomon" which was eventually pirated and became "The Book of Smokeless Fire." "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" is commonly referred to as "Al Ajnas" and is attributed to Asaph Ben Berechiam in the Ishtar Publishing edition, probably to help Solomonize the work. Arabic editions would be attributed to Asif ibn Barkhiya, an Arab version of the same legendary Jewish sage of Solomon's court who supposedly wrote the book. It dates back to the 12th century of the common era. Not quite as old as Picatrix but old enough to make it venerable on the magician's book shelf. I'll be joined by V.H.Frater SithMeth who has some thoughts on "The Book of Smokeless Fire." So if you would like to spend an hour in the study of forbidden and forgotten lore, sit on your magick carpet, rub your magick lamp and join us.

Daniel 7: 13-1413 “I kept looking in the night visions,And behold, with the clouds of heavenOne like a son of man was coming,And He came up to the Ancient of DaysAnd was presented before Him.14 And to Him was given dominion,Honor, and a kingdom,So that all the peoples, nations, and populations of all languagesMight serve Him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionWhich will not pass away;And His kingdom is oneWhich will not be destroyed.
Jeremiah 31:31-3431 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.”

Sept 18th Sermon | Mark 1:16-45 | Pastor Godwin Sathianathan
The world population has forgotten that God has appointed a Divine King to forever reign upon this planet. This King is His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. This hostile planet hates the idea of being ruled by God, therefore rebellion against God has been revealed as its atmosphere all throughout this study on the end of the age. The events leading up to the apocalyptic unveiling of King Jesus climax in what is commonly referred to as the Battle of Armageddon. This message presents us with an understanding of the major events surrounding this hellish revolt against the Lordship of Christ and the battle against the city from which He will rule, Jerusalem. In the end, a mighty river dries up, armies of the world converge outside of Jerusalem, Jesus and His glorious army appear…and the birds of the skies are fed with the results of the battle. This is the war of all wars - and it is ended in a blistering moment from Christ.
Pastor Dave Martin preaches a sermon based on Mark 1:1-8.

Palm Sunday is tied to the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This entry is a proclamation of Jesus being the divine, righteous, good King that the people need and that we need. When we think about our daily lives, what I would call an “ordinary Monday,” do we take time to stop and remember that Jesus is King? Oftentimes through the course of an ordinary Monday we don't think about Jesus being our Divine King, or that he is our Righteous King, because we see the ordinary Monday as just that, ordinary. What if we thought to remind ourselves that it is Jesus who has placed us where we are and with the people, who may annoy or frustrate us, so that we can experience more of his glorious grace? What if we parented in such a way of not leaning on our own righteousness but on the righteousness of Christ? That when we engage our child, our student, our grown children, our grandchildren, we don't try to impose our own righteousness on them but instead point them, walk with them, or run them to Jesus. When brokenness arises in us, or when we are made aware of the areas of brokenness in us, instead of running from Jesus thinking you have to clean yourself up, rather we remind ourselves of our good King Jesus. Letting Jesus into your brokenness and letting him clean you up. We have a King in Jesus who is divine, righteous, and good. Let's run to that King.

Who Were the Magi and What Was Their Purpose? The Gospel of Matthew is the only one of the four gospels that gives an account of the visit by the Magi or wise men from the East. Although Christmas traditions tell the story of the three wise men coming from the East to present their gifts to the baby Jesus, the scriptures do not tell that account. The Magi were highly educated scholars and astronomers who were part of a religious sect. They came from the East (Media, Persia, Assyria, and Babylonia). They came based on the Jewish prophecies of the birth of the King of the Jews.Several hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Daniel was the leader of the Magi or magicians, also known as the wise men. He had favor with the King of the empire at that time because God was with him and he was able to interpret dreams. Daniel was the wisest of all of the wise men of his time. This was the same Daniel that had been thrown into the lion's den and came out unharmed. Daniel prophesied that a virgin would give birth to a Son, and they would name Him Emmanuel (God with us). The teachings of Daniel would have been passed down so that the wise men during Jesus's birth would have recognized the signs in the sky. The wise men traveled to Israel as an entourage carrying valuable gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to present to Jesus. They had seen the star and knew the season for Jesus' birth. They traveled to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” King Herod and those in Jerusalem were greatly troubled about this announcement. King Herod called his chief priests and scribes and asked them about this question. The religious leaders told King Herod that the scriptures state that the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem. Herod met with the wise men and told them to go to Bethlehem and after they find the child to come back and let him know so he could also go and worship the child.The wise men left for Bethlehem and the star went before them and stood over the area of where the child was located. Jesus was no longer a baby in the manger, but a young Child under two years of age. The wise men and the entourage were extremely overjoyed to see Jesus and they brought their gifts and worshiped Him. The gifts were very valuable and included gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The gifts were highly valuable, practical, and symbolic. Gold symbolizes Christ's divinity, frankincense, a fragrant oil, is used for worship, and myrrh, another oil/perfume is used in embalming a dead body. Jesus was the Divine King who left His divinity to be born as a man. He was also the sacrifice for mankind and came to die to pay for our sins and put us back into a relationship with God the Father.The wise men were warned in a dream not to return to Herod. They went home another way. Joseph was also warned in a dream to take his family to Egypt because Herod would be coming to kill Jesus. Joseph immediately took his family at night and left Bethlehem for Egypt. The family had money to travel and remained in Egypt until King Herod had died.King Herod expected a visit from the wise men but realized that they were not coming to see him. He was so angry because he wanted to kill Jesus. There was no way that he would allow another king to take his place. He was a ruthless leader who killed his own sons, siblings, and anyone who would threaten his position as King. He immediately ordered all male children under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed. This was a horrible and sad event.When Herod died Joseph had another dream where the angel of the Lord told him to take his family back to Israel. Those who wanted Jesus dead had all died. Joseph took his family back but settled in Nazareth. The account of the wise men is important to s
