Podcasts about old testament prophets

Send us Fan MailIn this Healing the City podcast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Mark have a Bible Project–style conversation about the events leading up to Elijah being taken into heaven. They talk through the story of Ahab, Elijah, Elisha, and the chariots of fire, paying close attention to Elisha's response as his mentor is taken from him.The conversation covers some fascinating parts of Israel's story, including Ahab's role as king, Elijah's prophetic calling, and the strange beauty of a prophet who does not die but is carried away by God. It is thoughtful, layered, and a little funny, especially because both pastors are clearly tired while trying to make sense of one of the Bible's wildest scenes.Support the show“Healing the City” is a weekly podcast about what it looks like to build healthier communities.

The national repentance of Israel is a major theme of Bible Prophecy, and is the precondition for the Second Coming of Christ. In this study, we see that Israel has a future in God, guaranteed by the everlasting Abrahamic, Davidic and Land Covenants, and the prophecies of the Old Testament Prophets which predict Israel's national repentance and salvation after being regathered to the Land (Ezekiel 36, Joel 2-3, Zechariah 12-14), especially the prophecy of the New Covenant with Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34, confirmed in the New Testament: "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:25-26). Although Israel has fulfilled much of God's Plan in bringing forth the Scriptures and the Messiah, she still has a major role in the bringing forth of God's Kingdom on earth (the Messianic Kingdom), which can only be established through a believing Israel, since it is based on and is the fulfilment of God's everlasting Covenants with Israel. This is why Israel's repentance and salvation through receiving Christ and His New Covenant is essential for the 2nd Coming of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. Israel's future repentance will complete the fulfilment of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), followed by the 2nd Coming at Tabernacles. Thus we can understand the importance of prayer for Israel's salvation.

In a time of suspicion, they affirmed their agreement with the wider Reformed Protestant tradition and testified to their shared commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Later formally owned by the churches, this confession stands not as a private statement, but as the united voice of congregations confessing the faith once delivered to the saints. Three and a half centuries later, churches far beyond London, spread throughout the nations, confess this same faith. This conference marks 350 years of that enduring testimony, as we meet in London to give thanks for the faith Christ has preserved and renew our calling to confess him faithfully in our own day. We will gather at Westminster Chapel, in the heart of London. This historic building will serve as the meeting place for churches and believers coming together to remember the past, rejoice in present unity, and look forward with renewed faithfulness.

From interpreting prophetic poetry to understanding God's grace in the midst of human frailty, this conversation offers insights for anyone who wants to dig deeper into Scripture and apply these truths in modern life. Whether you're a Bible study leader, student, or simply curious about the prophetic books, this episode provides accessible guidance to help you navigate the complexity and beauty of God's Word.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill all of the promises that were delivered by the Old Testament Prophets. In Him, every promise is “Yes” and “Amen.”

Testimony Now, Promise Later by Kirk Hunt And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. Hebrews 11:39-40 NKJV Despite victories such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Dr. King continued working to free all of America's citizens from injustice and discrimination. His earthly reward for seeking a better America? An assassin's bullet. Scripture summarizes the suffering and victories of Old Testament Prophets and Heroes in Hebrews 11. Those men and women did not live to see God's promises completed, but they did their part to fulfill their callings. Usually, at great personal cost or their very lives. Hebrews 11 rehearses the faithfulness and endurance of Old Testament saints. They fulfilled their calling and purpose, despite not seeing their victory in complete fullness. Hebrews 12 exhorts New Testament saints to be just as faithful and enduring. Christians of the Roman world often suffered and died but they eventually converted polytheistic pagans into devout Christians. With the continuing advantage of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we should do as much. Echoing the faith and diligence of Old and New Testament saints, our faithfulness will require that we seek something better, regardless of the personal cost. Seek something better, no matter who is bothered or how they object. Your prize for delivering freedom or salvation will be God's eternal approval. Give your testimony now, receive His promise later. Think: Do your part whether or not you see the final victory. Pray: “Lord, help me to fulfill my calling from You, no matter how others object.” Copyright © January 2026, Kirk Hunt This devotional is a ministry of CadreMen Press.

Have you noticed that the name of Jesus always evokes a response? While there are differing degrees of response, people in our society are either for Him or against Him. This is not new! Through the Old Testament Prophets and the New Testament Apostles, God revealed to us that this would be the response to Christ and His Gospel. In order understand this better, we will see how Christ is likened to two different stones and then a takeaway we all need.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they explore the powerful message of the prophet Amos in this week's episode of I Love to Tell the Story, a podcast on the Narrative Lectionary for November 9th, 2025. The prophet Amos brings one of the most challenging messages in Scripture—calling out the disconnect between religious observance and social justice. Though he was a farmer from the Southern Kingdom, Amos was sent to speak truth to power in the Northern Kingdom around 760-780 BCE. His ministry may have lasted only two years, but his words continue to resonate today. In this episode, we discuss: * The meaning of "The Lord roars from Zion" and Amos's prophetic mission * The dangerous disconnect between piety and justice * What biblical justice (mishpat) and righteousness (tzedek) really mean * Why Amos declares "I hate, I despise your festivals" * The call to "let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream" * How this message connects to modern calls for justice, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s use of Amos As one of the hosts shares: "If you like the prophet Amos, you don't understand him." This episode will challenge you to examine the gap between religious practice and care for the vulnerable in our own time. TIMECODES: 00:00 Introduction to Amos and Contextual Background 02:47 The Call for Justice and Social Awareness 05:51 Understanding Justice and Righteousness 08:51 The Nature of Seeking God 12:18 Conclusion and Reflection on Amos' Message 14:21  Outro

In this Walk and Talk episode, I address a concerning trend I'm observing among young Christians with prophetic gifts—they're attempting to emulate modern-day Elijahs and Isaiahs, operating as lone-wolf prophets with absolute authority. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11 and Deuteronomy 18:22, I expose why this Old Testament model creates spiritual bullying, crushing isolation, and impossible expectations in New Testament believers.I unpack the revolutionary shift Jesus brought to prophetic ministry, moving from solitary divine messengers who demanded absolute obedience to collaborative body gifts that invite discernment. You'll discover why the brutal 100% accuracy standard of Old Testament prophecy no longer applies, how prophetic gifts were designed to function within community accountability, and the transformational difference between wielding authority and serving the body.This isn't about diminishing prophetic gifts or lowering spiritual standards—it's about understanding how Jesus fundamentally changed the prophetic landscape. I challenge listeners to reject the Lone Ranger mentality that breeds spiritual pride and isolation, and instead embrace the beautiful reality of being one voice among many in Christ's body.Whether you're a young believer struggling with prophetic calling and feeling the weight of impossible expectations, or you're dealing with accountability issues around prophetic ministry in your community, this episode will revolutionise your understanding. Stop trying to become the next Isaiah and start learning to be a collaborative voice in God's diverse, unified body.The goal isn't to be the voice—it's to be one voice among many who collectively hear from God.Thanks for listening to The School of Safe and Humble Prophets!

The battle of Armageddon will be a tragic day. The Old Testament Prophets call it the Day of the Lord because the battle for Jerusalem will usher in Judgment Day for all of humanity. But what if the strategy to win the battle is not in mighty military power but rather in the Grace and Love of God burning in in the hearts of HIS people? Armageddon will be real. The day of battle with be vicious and tragic. But the LORD wins not by military might but rather through the Grace of HIS Word that will burn in a Caldron igniting a fire of preaching and melting the hearts of the nations. Wow! ___________________________________________________________________________________ [6] “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blazing pot in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem. [7] “And the LORD will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not surpass that of Judah. [8] On that day the LORD will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the LORD, going before them.” — Zechariah 12:6-8

Old Testament Prophets quoting each other? It's not as likely as you might think. But Jeremiah does use passages from Micah to defend himself to the public, years after Micah's own message was ignored by the people he himself was sent to.

The Prophets of old searched and inquired carefully to see where they could find the Messiah. Who He is and when He would come to save them. We can learn from them to go to the Scriptures and seek Him. Dig into the Word of God and learn from them that the Bible is GOOD NEWS! This is a great lesson to help us understand just what those Old Testament Prophets were searching for!

 Shouts and Whispers: "What Do You Do When Life Get's Uncomfortable?" By Bobby Wallace, Preaching Minister 5/4/25 We begin our new series looking at the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. We can learn alot from two Old Testament Prophets. This week we look at how to obey God's Word no matter the circumstances. *We apologize for the echo that takes place in the few several minutes of this week's message. We could not repair the file, but we have corrected the problem for moving forward. It does improve for the majority of the message.

Jesus Christ came to fulfill all of the promises that were delivered by the Old Testament Prophets. In Him, every promise is Yes and Amen.

This Sunday we'll be digging into the first chapter of Micah, the Minor Prophet. We've stated before that this book, like all the works of the Old Testament Prophets, contains some difficult and harsh words. I will again be reminding us that we must read any of these prophecies through the lens of the revelation of who God is in Jesus. We'll talk some about how we go about applying these Scriptures as well.As you read through this opening chapter, you'll notice that great, cosmic imagery is employed to reinforce just how serious the situation is. Imagine the opening like a trial, where God calls witnesses to hear his complaint about how his covenant people have been using the freedom they had.The list of complaints will be extensive as the book goes on – but in the opening salvo, we have a description of high places in Jerusalem. That is our clue that identifies idolatry as the first issue God brings into focus. We'll talk about idolatry on Sunday – what it means and how it can affect us, even in a modern age where it's unlikely anyone is bowing down to a carved statue somewhere.Idolatry is a big issue in the Scriptures – a main source of trouble all through the history of God's people. If you've ever been near a church, you've likely heard sermons on this problem before. What's your natural reaction to hearing that we may have idols still lurking in our lives? If you are warned to get rid of an idol, no matter what form it may take, do you feel encouraged, condemned or something in between?What if the cure for idolatry wasn't about getting our act together or trying to be a better Christian? What if it were something deeper, something we need to realize about our identity? I'm persuaded that the first chapter of Micah gives us a clue as to how God can cure “the incurable plague” that has often hounded his beloved people. I hope you can join us as we consider this on Sunday – I think it will be a great encouragement to us all!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Stephen Kim teaches The Ten Landmarks of Israel:  The Davidic Covenant Dr. Kim continues his teaching on the Davidic Covenant, especially as emphasized in the Old Testament Prophets. Lesson Slides 2024-12-15

Read Online“I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased.  So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands.”  Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.  Matthew 17:12–13The last of the Old Testament Prophets was Malachi. He concluded his ministry about 400 years prior to the coming of Christ. Malachi prophesied that a “messenger” would come before the Messiah so as to prepare the way before Him. Malachi goes on further to say that “Elijah the Prophet” will come before the day of the Lord (See Malachi 3:1–24).Many of the people at the time of Jesus did not understand this prophecy and were not even aware of it. Therefore, the scribes used this prophecy to confuse many of the people by claiming that since “Elijah” had not come, then clearly Jesus was not the promised Messiah.Jesus clarified to the disciples that the “messenger,” who was to be the new Elijah, had already come in the person of John the Baptist. Thus, in clarifying this, Jesus also clarified that the scribes were not accurate in their attempt to interpret the Scriptures and were actively misleading the people on account of their errors.One thing this tells us is that we must approach the word of God with humility. The pride of the scribes led them to believe that they had some sort of extraordinary wisdom that they did not. Thus, they acted as poor spiritual teachers of the people of God.Humility before the Word of God is essential if we are to properly understand not only the Old Testament prophecies but also the very words of Jesus Himself. Without humility before the Word of God, we can all easily misinterpret the beautiful and holy words spoken by our Lord.Everything in the Scriptures is profound, deep and true. And by this holy Word of God we come to meet God Himself. But if we allow pride to seep in, we may find ourselves imitating the scribes and misunderstanding God's Word. The result will be a skewed image of God which will become an impediment to our personal encounter with our loving Lord. But if we can always remain humble before all that God has revealed to us, then we will more easily be open to those deepest and most beautiful truths God wants to speak to our hearts. Reflect, today, upon any way that you have found yourself confused by the Word of God. Try to humbly open your heart more fully to that which our Lord wants to speak to you. Listen with an open mind and heart and allow the pure gift of faith to become your guide so that you will be led to those deepest truths of our faith.My mysterious and beautiful Lord, You have revealed to us the deepest and most profound mysteries of life through Your written Word. May I always approach Your Word with humility and openness so that I will come to know You more fully. Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
