Jiang XueqinGUEST
Which makes absolutely no sense, because they're not Argentina citizens, [chuckles] right? So it seems very much that Argentina is working very closely with Israel and the United States.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
And the, the reason why, why I think that Israel and they, and Argentina are working very close together is right now there's almost a civil war in Israel between Messianic Jews who believe this war in the Middle East will usher in the end times and the coming of the Messiah, and secular Jews who are like, "These people are insane." And so the only way to resolve this conflict is by exporting secular Jews elsewhere.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
And it seems to me, um, Argentina is a very good place to export them.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
So but then you're like, okay, how do you get the people of Argentina to accept this massive immigration into, into Argentina from Israel? Because Israel is not very popular in Argentina.
Tim MackieHOST
So this is the place, the gospel of the Spirit.
Jon CollinsHOST
In Luke, an angel tells Mary that she'll give birth to Israel's Messiah, and Mary asks, "How will this be since I'm a virgin?" And the angel responds that, "The Holy Pneuma will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you."
Tim MackieHOST
And that word overshadow you, it's used of the glory cloud of God that comes to settle over the tabernacle and then fill it up with divine presence.
Tim MackieHOST
The Holy Spirit is filling Mary to bring about a union of divine and human.

Tim MackieHOST
And there is this guy named Simeon there, righteous man looking for the comfort of Israel, the consolation, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Jon CollinsHOST
Hmm.
Tim MackieHOST
In fact, it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he wouldn't die before he saw the Lord's Messiah.
Tim MackieHOST
So he came in the temple in the Spirit right when Jesus' parents brought him into the temple.
Don WildmanHOST
That's the key.
Don WildmanHOST
I mean, the imminent arrival of the Messiah is something that these people are living with every moment of their lives, ideally I spoke.
Don WildmanHOST
I mean, it, it is also a community.
Don WildmanHOST
How many people live at Mount Carmel when he, when he gets there?
Jeff GuinnGUEST
The first is that he is the reincarnation, the new iteration, of the Old Testament King Cyrus-
Don WildmanHOST
Hmm
Jeff GuinnGUEST
... who freed the Jews from Babylon way back when, rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem, and in the New Testament is named as the only Gentile Messiah, or anointed leader, in the whole Old Testament.
Don WildmanHOST
Wow.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
Yes, this is a big topic to unpack, and so I'll just touch on it briefly here.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
The Jewish concept of a Messiah, I mean, we can argue whether or not Jesus was the Messiah, but the Jewish concept of the Messiah was a human being appointed by God to restore the nation of Israel.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
And now you ask a Christian what's the Messiah, i- it's likely that they may say, "Oh, it was God incarnated as a human to die for our sins because we need the blood sacrifice so we don't go to hell." But that was not present in ancient Judaism, that belief.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
We see some interesting mythological overlap with Greco-Roman mythology, and I get into that in the book, where these themes of a human-god hybrid being sired by God and a virgin woman, and then, you know, a god hybrid rising from the dead, ascending into heaven.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
These are themes we see really strongly in Greco-Roman mythology.
11 MINS LATER
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
And another point here, and this comes into play with Paul as well.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
In-- I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna say this gently.
Lauren GeertsenGUEST
So there are numerous religions we might look at where people have claimed a direct revelation of God, a direct revelation of a prophet or a Messiah, and they will tell people, "I have this special connection.
John NeufeldHOST
[upbeat music] I think a great many of us when we read the First Testament, and I genuinely hope you are reading the First Testament, but when you read the First Testament that you don't make the mistake that it's just a series of morality tales instead of the story that's actually there.
John NeufeldHOST
See, the entire story is one story in which we learn that God was, in His chosen Messiah, reconciling the world to Himself.
John NeufeldHOST
It's the story of grace.
John NeufeldHOST
It's not the story of working harder, of believing harder, or just trying to accomplish stuff.
John NeufeldHOST
He shall judge between the nations and shall decide disputes for many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
John NeufeldHOST
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation.
John NeufeldHOST
Neither shall they learn war anymore." And that, my friends, according to the prophets, is the golden age, the age of the Messiah, and these men had concluded that Jesus was that man.
John NeufeldHOST
And of course, [laughs] they weren't wrong.
Annie F. DownsHOST
On the way he asked them, 'Who do people say I am?' They replied, 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.' 'But what about you?' he asked.
Annie F. DownsHOST
'Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah.' Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him." From Matthew.
Annie F. DownsHOST
"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' They replied, 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'But what about you?' he asked.
Annie F. DownsHOST
'Who do you say I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied, 'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
Annie F. DownsHOST
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Annie F. DownsHOST
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.' Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah." From Luke.
Annie F. DownsHOST
"Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' They replied, 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.' 'But what about you?' he asked.
Annie F. DownsHOST
'Who do you say I am?' Peter answered, 'God's Messiah.'" Jesus predicts his death from Mark.
Dale MastGUEST
On David, it anointed his life, and he became a prophet.
Dale MastGUEST
Literally, through the Psalms, he prophesies the Messiah.
Dale MastGUEST
We don't say that, but actually refers to him as a prophet.
Dale MastGUEST
And, uh, you know, we think of Abraham, the father of faith, but God said, uh, to Pharaoh, "If you'll...
Skip HeitzigHOST
So God takes Manasseh, who was firstborn, gives him second place, and God says, though Ephraim was born second, Ephraim is my firstborn.
Skip HeitzigHOST
So because of that scripture and because of that idea, that firstborn, prototokos is the Greek word, means the supreme one, The firstborn became emblematic of not only a supreme position, but he became a code word for the Messiah.
Skip HeitzigHOST
In Psalm 89, God says, I will make my firstborn the ruler of the kings of all the earth.
Skip HeitzigHOST
It's a prediction of the coming Messiah, whom God calls in Psalms, my firstborn.
Skip HeitzigHOST
And so picking up on that ancient tradition, Phrasology, that's what Paul means when he says, and he uses the word prototokos, firstborn.
Skip HeitzigHOST
He's the firstborn over all creation.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
If Joash dies, the line of David would end.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
If Joash dies, the promise of the Messiah would collapse.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
And if he dies, the covenant is broken.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
But God preserves what he promised to David in 2 Chronicles, being that he said the Davidic line will survive, but it barely survives here.
7 MINS LATER
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
But God's promise delivered way back in Genesis 3.15 stands firm, which says the seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
God moved Jehoshabah to hide Joash and God preserved the Davidic line.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
God protects the promise of his promise made of the Messiah, showing that even in the darkest moments, God's covenant cannot be broken.
Jeremy McCandlessHOST
The author of this book of Chronicles wants us to see one thing very clearly here, I believe.
Dave JenkinsHOST
Verse 3.
Dave JenkinsHOST
Isaiah 9 teaches us that God brings hope, light, peace, and salvation through the coming Messiah whose kingdom will never end.
Dave JenkinsHOST
Isaiah 9 moves from darkness to hope through the promise of God's coming King.
Dave JenkinsHOST
This chapter shows us that the light that overcomes darkness, the joy of God's salvation, the coming Messiah, the certainty of God's kingdom, the danger of continued rebellion.
Dave JenkinsHOST
And it reminds us that God's ultimate hope for His people is found in Christ alone.
Dave JenkinsHOST
So our first point today from verses 1 through 2 is God brings light into darkness.
Dave JenkinsHOST
The people face judgment, fear, uncertainty, spiritual darkness, and yet God promises light is coming.
Dave JenkinsHOST
This is more than political deliverance.
