0:01 okay there's a couple things I want I
0:02 want to try to share with you right off
0:04 the bat here and that's this that um
0:07 some people think that what I'm doing
0:10 right now is illegitimate in some sense
0:12 that the idea of finding Jesus in the
0:15 Old Testament is somehow wrong because
0:18 you're not just taking the meaning of
0:20 the text what it meant to the original
0:22 audience at the original time when they
0:23 originally heard it now I've kind of
0:25 already unpacked some reasons why
0:28 biblically we should be doing this
0:30 and why this is good hermeneutics this
0:32 is good Bible study but what we're gonna
0:37 do tonight to show you not just that
0:39 there are types in the Old Testament of
0:41 Jesus but to show you how many and how
0:44 pervasive and how many different kinds
0:46 of ways God foreshadows Jesus in the Old
0:49 Testament we're gonna do a survey of a
0:51 whole bunch of different New Testament
0:53 types not going to get into a bunch of a
0:54 detail with them it's more about
0:57 quantity over quality this time around
0:59 sometimes you know we have the phrase
1:00 you can't see the forest through the trees
1:01 trees
1:03 so you're they're examining one tree but
1:05 you don't step back and look at the
1:07 whole forest to realize how massive and
1:08 beautiful this thing is that's what
1:09 we're gonna do right now we're going to
1:11 zoom out and we're gonna look at how
1:12 massive and beautiful this thing is this
1:15 typology or foreshadowing of Christ in
1:20 the Old Testament because we need this
1:22 the road to emmaus experience right how
1:24 they said did not our hearts burn within
1:26 us when he opened the scriptures to us
1:28 remember they had the Bible all that
1:30 time they had the the Hebrew Bible that
1:30 whole time
1:34 and yet when Jesus after the fact took
1:36 them through the law the prophets the
1:38 writings and said see how it testifies
1:40 of me they felt like he'd opened it to
1:43 them all over again and so that's kind
1:45 of where we're going today so here's a
1:47 bunch of different types of different
1:49 degrees some stronger some weaker to see
1:52 Jesus in the Old Testament and we're
1:54 gonna start well I'll just mention a
1:55 couple I've already done can you guys
1:58 remember some we've already done Adam in
1:59 Christ we talked about that one
2:01 originally right we talked about the
2:03 bronze serpent how the bronze serpent
2:05 was represented representative of Jesus
2:08 we talked about several other ones but
2:10 we're gonna get into a bunch of new
2:12 fresh ones today so John 1:51 that's the FIR
2:12 FIR
2:15 when we're gonna look at mm-hmm and hear
2:20 Jesus himself he says and he said to him
2:22 truly truly I say to you you will see
2:24 heaven opened and the angels of God
2:26 ascending and descending on the Son of
2:29 man and you might be like what how is
2:31 that an Old Testament type Mike well you
2:33 got to remember who he's talking to he's
2:35 talking to the Jewish people right he's
2:37 talking to people who know their Old
2:40 Testament and in Genesis 28 verse 12 we
2:41 get the counterpart to what Jesus is
2:44 saying and he dreamed and behold there
2:46 was a ladder set up on the earth and the
2:48 top of it reached to heaven and behold
2:50 the angels of God were ascending and
2:53 descending on it
2:55 this is Jacob's Ladder Jacob he's
2:57 wrestling with God right he sees the
2:58 ladder that he's got these all these
3:01 different stories of him well this
3:04 according to Jesus is going to happen
3:07 but not not a ladder the son of man the
3:09 angels are ascending and descending on
3:11 well what would the ladder be the ladder
3:13 would be the access point between heaven
3:16 and earth and Jesus is saying that's me
3:19 I am the access point between heaven and
3:22 earth he is the door he is the Shepherd
3:24 right he is the way the truth and the
3:26 life you have to enter through him like
3:28 these are all kind of correlating things
3:30 so there's there's Jesus himself giving
3:33 this picture where he puts himself in
3:35 the place of the ladder from from the
3:38 story of Genesis 28 12 but let's move on
3:39 to another one because we're gonna move
3:40 pretty quick tonight because I want to
3:43 give you like I said quantity so Moses
3:46 Moses according the Bible also is a type
3:49 of Christ in Hebrews chapter 3 we read
3:51 about this he was 3:1 says therefore
3:54 holy brothers you who share in the
3:56 heavenly calling consider Jesus the
3:58 Apostle and high priest of our
4:00 confession notice we also have him as
4:01 the high priest so we have a connection
4:03 to the high priest in Jesus we've talked
4:05 about that before though who was
4:08 faithful to him who appointed him just
4:12 as Moses also was faithful in all God's
4:14 house for Jesus has been counted worthy
4:18 of more glory than Moses as much as much
4:20 more glory as the builder of the house
4:23 has more honor than the house itself now
4:25 you might say Mike
4:26 this is not a good example right because
4:30 okay Jesus was faithful just as Moses
4:32 was faithful but Jesus is better he gets
4:34 more glory just like the Builder he gets
4:36 more glory than the house so you might
4:38 say Mike this isn't a type or a
4:40 foreshadowing this is just a comparison
4:44 but I have to say because of the
4:46 significance of Jesus when we see
4:48 comparisons of Old Testament people to
4:51 Jesus we should recognize something God
4:53 had this planned out the whole time
4:55 that's what we've learned in fact that's
4:56 what we learned
4:58 day 1 in our study of Jesus in the Old
4:59 Testament is how this was like an
5:01 intentional purposeful deliberate thing
5:05 ok did not God know about Hebrews
5:09 chapter 3 when he had written Genesis
5:11 chapter 1 like it didn't didn't he know
5:13 about all of these things this was all
5:15 intended and orchestrated together it's
5:19 one big story it's not just a convenient
5:21 group of separate stories that happen to
5:24 do good for us right this is a there's a
5:26 meta-narrative that's the big phrase for it
5:26 it
5:28 big narrative that goes across the whole
5:32 thing also we have prophecy from the end
5:34 of Deuteronomy where Moses says that God
5:37 will raise up a prophet like unto Moses
5:39 for the people and this sort of hung on
5:41 the shoulders of the Jewish people
5:42 there'll be a prophet and he'll be like
5:45 Moses and him we must hear that we like
5:48 Moses and so Jesus ultimately is that
5:51 then we have another story from the Old
5:53 Testament the flood story did you know
5:55 that the flood stories related to Christ
5:57 in some way well this is in 1st Peter
5:59 chapter 3 there's another type now by
6:01 the way what you could do with this is
6:02 you could you could then go to Moses and
6:04 you could look at his life and go I
6:06 wonder if there's different ways in
6:08 which Moses was like Jesus other than
6:10 being faithful in his house I wonder
6:11 what else we might find there I think
6:12 that's a legitimate thing to do
6:15 and we will be doing that later on so
6:17 first Peter 3:20 it says because they
6:19 formerly did not obey when God's
6:22 patience waited in the days of Noah
6:24 while the ark was being prepared in
6:26 which a few that is eight persons were
6:28 brought safely through water baptism
6:32 which corresponds to this now saves you
6:36 not as a removal of dirt from the body
6:38 ie water baptism is not what saves you
6:41 it's what an appeal to God for a good
6:42 conscience through the resurrection of
6:43 Jesus Christ
6:45 it's that thing baptism represents of
6:46 course that's I have a whole debate on
6:48 that online you could look up my baptism
6:52 debate if you want but but here we have
6:53 the course the correspondence between
6:56 the flood the ark and then how they were
6:58 saved through the flood and how now
6:59 we're saved through this thing that
7:01 represents the death and resurrection of
7:04 Jesus so I find a correspondence between
7:08 the flood story and salvation through
7:10 Jesus represented modern times in
7:11 Baptism I think that's really
7:13 interesting I wonder what else might
7:15 there be in the flood story if I read it
7:17 thoughtfully and carefully now examining
7:20 it form or typology of Christ based upon
7:21 the fact that the New Testament seems to
7:24 indicate it's there but there's more
7:27 there's just like two more so manna from
7:30 heaven in John 632 you what we all know
7:32 the story about the manna right how this
7:36 mysterious stuff was just settling down
7:37 from the Lord that they would come and
7:39 gather it and eat it and God provided
7:42 for them for 40 years with this manna
7:43 they called it manna because manna means
7:46 what is it what is it I don't know what
7:47 it is right
7:51 so John 632 then jesus said to them
7:54 truly truly I say to you it was not
7:56 Moses who gave you the bread from heaven
8:00 but my father gives notice Moses pass sense
8:00 sense
8:02 it was not Moses who gave past-tense the
8:04 bread from heaven but my father gives
8:07 you the true bread from heaven Jesus
8:10 says that he's the bread Jesus is the
8:12 bread but he doesn't just say hey I'm
8:14 the bread of life he court he makes a
8:16 correspondence between him and the manna
8:18 and he references himself as being the
8:20 greater thing and that's something else
8:23 we learned from the type's right that
8:25 that the type is usually lesser and
8:28 Jesus is greater expect when you find a
8:30 type of Christ in the Old Testament or a
8:32 foreshadowing expect it to fall short of
8:34 Jesus that's normal that's expected and
8:36 it's intentional because God wants us to
8:38 see that Jesus is greater than these
8:41 things and so Jesus is the true manna
8:44 not just a passing correspondence right
8:46 so in order of appearance manna first
8:48 Jesus second right in time the
8:50 timeline of history man that came first
8:52 Jesus came second but in order of
8:55 importance Jesus first man a second
8:58 that's the point here in order of
8:59 importance its Christ that comes first
9:02 and the book of Hebrews really really
9:03 strikes this anvil like over and over
9:05 again that Christ is better Christ is
9:06 better Christ is better it takes an Old
9:08 Testament reality and says Jesus is
9:13 better now at this point I want to pause
9:17 for a second when it comes to
9:19 interpreting the Bible I interpret the
9:22 Bible you guys know right we're a verse
9:24 by verse people like we like man give it
9:24 to me
9:28 in the text in context show me how you
9:30 got that interpretation like this is I
9:33 love that it excites me to be super
9:35 faithful to the text of Scripture but
9:37 here's where someone will say well Mike
9:39 you're no longer taking these Old
9:42 Testament passages just literally you're
9:44 looking at them literally and that might
9:46 bother them because then they think oh
9:48 you're just you're reducing the Old
9:50 Testament - allegory but there's a
9:53 difference between this and how say a
9:56 liberal would do it I don't mean liberal
9:57 like Democrats here I'm talking about
10:00 theology right a theological liberal
10:03 they will reduce the Old Testament -
10:07 allegory or to a literary work where the
10:08 where the original meaning no longer
10:12 matters whereas faithful biblical
10:15 Christians we should say we take it in
10:18 its literal sense and in its literary
10:20 sense like we don't use one to discount
10:23 the other we realize that God is giving
10:25 us a complicated and beautiful literary
10:28 work in the Bible so there really was
10:31 manna God really provided for the people
10:34 of Israel this was a miraculous work of
10:37 God giving food to his people and he had
10:39 he intended it to foreshadow Christ it's
10:41 both of those realities and so for
10:43 anybody who's like they're like going to
10:46 wait are you moving away from a simple
10:48 plain interpretation of the text I'm
10:50 saying no I'm using the text to give me
10:53 this fuller understanding of it that we
10:55 get through Jesus having the scriptures
10:56 open to us as they said on the road to Emmaus
10:58 Emmaus
11:01 so there's a danger is when the literary
11:03 understandings are used to ignore the
11:05 literal plain meaning of the text but
11:07 there's another danger when we think and
11:09 this I've seen a lot when we think that
11:11 we protect people by not allowing them
11:14 to see the symbolism by not allowing
11:16 them to see the literary allegorical
11:18 type elements that are in the text you
11:20 don't protect people like this you rob
11:22 from them the meaning of the scriptures
11:25 I think so I remember reading in the
11:26 hermeneutics book I told you this before
11:27 right when I was in my sits the school
11:29 of ministry in the hermeneutics book you
11:31 know the art and science of studying the
11:32 Bible that that's that's what
11:34 hermeneutics is so it's like how to
11:36 study the Bible well but they had this
11:38 section on typology and they say you can
11:40 only call it a type if it's clearly
11:44 identified in the text as a type I have
11:46 a problem with this because you think
11:47 you're protecting me from coming up with
11:49 my own wild crazy theories about the
11:52 Bible except that doesn't come from the
11:55 scripture you're strangling the
11:57 scriptures from being able to cap the
11:59 it's full meaning for instance in
12:01 Genesis 22 we read about Abraham
12:04 sacrificing Isaac how can you argue that
12:07 this is not a type of Christ yet is the
12:08 new tenth does the New Testament
12:12 identify it as a type No so this
12:13 hermeneutic would say I can't call that
12:16 a type and I would say you're just wrong
12:18 there is a literary work that's going on
12:21 here that's meant to reveal Jesus and so
12:22 this is a good thing and I think that as
12:26 I think a lot of pastors in modern times
12:31 either dabble recklessly in typology or
12:35 they avoid it entirely but very few
12:37 teachers thoughtfully and seriously
12:40 undergo a study of typology of Jesus in
12:41 the Old Testament and that's why I'm
12:43 excited to do this because I know that
12:44 even these videos get out to two
12:45 different pastors and leaders and I'm
12:47 hoping that they can take these things
12:49 and put them in your own messages man
12:50 don't give me credit I don't care like
12:52 just like I do I really get the credit
12:53 like it's in the text of Scripture
12:55 that's the whole point let's just take
12:58 all we can out of God's Word so so there
13:00 is a New Testament precedence for this
13:02 sort of thing when Jesus takes the manna
13:05 and relates it to himself all right just
13:07 one more the rock the rock in 1st
13:09 Corinthians 10:4
13:13 10:4 it says an all drink the same
13:15 spiritual drink speaking about the
13:17 Israelites wandering the wilderness they
13:18 all drank the same spiritual drink for
13:20 they drank from the spiritual rock that
13:23 followed them and the rock was Christ
13:25 well what is this talking about okay so
13:26 they're wandering through the wilderness
13:29 and at one point multiple points right
13:30 there either starving or they're
13:32 dehydrated they're out of water and
13:33 there's a lot of them and they're like
13:34 we're gonna die
13:36 Moses you brought us out here to die God
13:39 brought us out here to kill us it's not
13:41 the best attitude to have when you're
13:43 suffering but that's what they did and
13:47 so Moses he strikes a rock this happens
13:51 at ref Adam Exodus 17 6 he says behold I
13:53 will stand before you on there on the
13:55 rock at Horeb and you shall strike the
13:57 rock this is actually what God tells
13:59 Moses and water shall come out of it and
14:02 the people will drink and Moses did so
14:04 in the sight of the elders of Israel so
14:05 they're in one location he strikes the
14:08 rock and there's water gushing out of it
14:09 and he you know gives the people all
14:12 these all this fresh water and then
14:15 later on at Kadesh and numbers 2011 it
14:19 happens again a different location right
14:22 and Moses strikes the rock again it says
14:24 and Moses lifted up his hand and struck
14:26 the rock with his staff twice and water
14:28 came out abundantly and the congregation
14:31 drank and their livestock and so there
14:33 was there was plenty of water now what's
14:35 interesting sidenote right many of you
14:36 know where I'm going already with this
14:38 right Moses got in trouble for this the
14:40 second time he struck the rock well God
14:41 actually specifically if you read the
14:43 passage in context he told Moses the
14:44 first time strike the rock the second
14:48 time he says speak to the rock really
14:51 interesting but Moses is mad he's mad at
14:52 the people because they're a bunch of
14:55 poop faces I mean they are read the text
14:57 like they're really I mean they're
14:59 really horrible individuals to lead you
15:01 guys are so much better than the
15:05 Israelites so he strikes the rock maybe
15:07 out of anger wrath and gods like you did
15:09 not honor me you didn't glorify me when
15:11 you did that and you're like and then
15:12 God tells him you do not get to enter
15:14 the Promised Land that's how big of a
15:16 deal this is Moses you do not get to
15:17 enter the Promised Land because you
15:19 struck that rock and didn't Hollow me or
15:20 make me holy in the eyes of the Israelites
15:22 Israelites
15:24 why was it such a big deal and then we
15:25 get to the New Testament remember how
15:27 Jesus turns the question marks into
15:29 exclamation points the question mark why
15:31 Moses was the robbed from the promised
15:33 land cuz he struck the rock twice well
15:35 because the rock represents Christ and
15:39 Jesus was struck once after that you
15:41 just speak to him I just need you Jesus
15:44 you died for me one time once and for
15:45 all and I just need to come to you and
15:47 speak to you for that water that living water
15:48 water
15:50 so first Corinthians make sense of this
15:52 and this is not my fabrication these are
15:55 all in the text of the New Testament so
15:57 the question then is why does first
15:59 Corinthians say that rock followed them
16:01 the rock followed them how interesting
16:04 the rock followed them well it also
16:06 calls it a spiritual Rock they drink the
16:08 same spiritual drink from this spiritual
16:11 rock it could be that he's saying the
16:12 rock itself was spiritual and it was the
16:14 same rock that somehow appeared in two
16:17 locations or he could be saying I'm
16:19 spiritualizing the text I'm showing you
16:21 the spiritual thing God's communicating
16:24 through the text so spiritually the
16:26 water represents Jesus spiritually the
16:29 rock represents Christ so this is
16:31 typological language calling it
16:34 spiritually that is another possibility
16:40 so some of you guys you are still not in
16:42 alignment with my correct opinion about
16:48 Melchizedek maybe alright but I think
16:49 obviously I think I'm reverie buddy
16:50 thinks they're right because if they
16:52 think they're wrong then they change
16:53 their opinion and then they think
16:55 they're writing it so of course do you
16:57 think you're right but but Melchizedek
17:00 you say well it says like it's basically
17:03 says he was Jesus in the text like how
17:04 does this but look at this here it says
17:08 that rock was Christ first corinthians
17:13 10:4 that rock was Christ what was the
17:15 rock literally Christ is that a theophany
17:15 theophany
17:18 no I think it's a metaphor I think and
17:19 that's this is the terminology of
17:21 metaphors metaphors when you say just
17:23 something something is something but you
17:24 don't mean literally you mean it
17:27 metaphorically and that's I believe it's
17:29 okay for the text to speak that way and
17:30 that's why I can speak that way about no
17:33 kiss attack as well so now you agree
17:35 with me
17:37 probably not okay Jonah let's look at
17:41 one more last one Jonah in Matthew 12
17:44 verse 39 but he answered them Jesus
17:46 speaking an evil and adulterous
17:48 generation seeks for a sign but no sign
17:50 will be given to it except the sign of
17:54 the prophet Jonah for just as Jonah was
17:56 three days and three nights in the belly
17:58 of the great fish so will the Son of Man
18:00 be three days and three nights in the
18:04 heart of the earth now in the Old
18:07 Testament Jonah is not identified as
18:10 representing Jesus in any way in any way
18:11 shape or form there's and there's
18:13 nothing obvious about it either and here
18:16 we come to again we're looking at the
18:17 full understanding of the text of Scripture
18:17 Scripture
18:19 I'm not saying Jonah was an obvious
18:21 prophecy I'm saying Jonah was a
18:24 deliberate story meant to communicate
18:27 something about Jesus so the New
18:30 Testament reveals Jonah is this Jesus is
18:32 not pulling things out of the air here
18:33 he's not looking at the Old Testament
18:35 going how can I find stuff about me in
18:38 there this was all intended from the
18:42 beginning when you're writing a book or
18:45 a series of books and you have the whole
18:47 story planned out ahead of time you
18:49 embed all sorts of stuff in the first
18:53 book that you intend to use later on it
18:54 didn't mean much in the first book but
18:57 later on boy it has deep meaning look at
18:59 the Lord of the Rings story right in the
19:02 original Hobbit story we read about
19:03 Bilbo Baggins and how he stumbles upon
19:05 this magical ring that turns him
19:08 invisible yet later on the and then the
19:10 Rings mysterious and it's got Gandalf's
19:13 interest yeah I'm a nerd I get it and
19:16 and this story ends you know he wears it
19:18 nothing really big happens with the ring
19:19 you know there's a little warning from
19:20 Gandalf and powerful rings or not to be
19:24 you know meddled with Bilbo and then the
19:26 next story comes along and all of a
19:28 sudden that ring is the entire focus of
19:31 the three book trilogy the Lord of the
19:35 Rings it was just in but now it was not
19:36 obvious originally but it was used by
19:38 the author to tie the stories together
19:41 to have a big epic adventure type story
19:44 going on and more so God does this but
19:47 this is normal in works of literature to
19:48 do this sort of thing and so
19:51 does this with the story of Jonah three
19:53 days and three nights now here's
19:55 something interesting here's how we can
19:57 do typology I go wow look Jesus relates
19:59 himself to Jonah and he specifically
20:01 rate relates the time Jonah was inside
20:03 this fish for three days and nights to
20:05 his time in the two in the tomb his
20:07 death and resurrection I wonder what
20:09 would happen if I went to the story of
20:11 Jonah and just read what Jonah said
20:14 about his time inside that fish well
20:14 let's go there
20:16 that's Jonah chapter two because I think
20:19 Jesus is inviting us to follow his lead
20:25 in Jonah chapter two we read this in
20:29 verse one it's a short book in the Old
20:31 Testament so it's hard to find all you
20:34 can find is psalms in Ezekiel so good
20:40 luck so Jonah - when it says then Jonah
20:42 prayed to the Lord his God from the
20:43 belly of the fish and I'm gonna I'm
20:44 gonna read this to you but I'm gonna
20:46 offer you some typological and
20:47 understanding of it as well at least
20:50 that I think is there saying I called
20:52 out to the Lord out of my distress and
20:55 he answered me out of the belly of she
20:58 ole I cried and you heard my voice now
21:01 now Sheol is a term either used for the
21:02 grave or the place where people go when
21:04 they die it's used for multiple things
21:06 right here Awards actually the Hebrew
21:08 vocabulary back then was a lot smaller
21:10 and so they would use one word for lots
21:11 of different meanings that's just what
21:13 they would do so the word Sheol ments
21:15 either the grave or it means the place
21:17 where you like the physical grave or the
21:19 place wherever you go when you die but
21:23 it's never used to refer to a fish but
21:24 it's interesting that he metaphorically
21:26 calls himself in the belly of not a fish
21:29 but she'll the grave and Jesus says he
21:31 was in the belly of the fish the son of
21:32 the man will be in the heart of the
21:34 earth well really that relates I think
21:36 to the death of Jesus Christ and his
21:40 burial so I cried and you heard my voice
21:43 for you cast me into the deep into the
21:45 heart of the Seas and the floods
21:46 surrounded me all your ways and your
21:49 billows passed over me now in the Bible
21:51 floods and waves and billows are seen as
21:54 as judgment and tribulation and
21:58 hardships of life but we know that Psalm
21:59 where he says like deep calls unto deep
22:00 and we hear
22:02 quoted in the song and we're acting like
22:04 it's the deep of my heart that calls out
22:05 to the deep of the Lord actually it's
22:07 it's it's like one trial and life calls
22:09 out to another trial in life that's the
22:11 actual meaning of the song I'm sorry for
22:13 ruining your worship songs but that's
22:15 what it means and it's hit the deep
22:16 calling out to deepen the psalm there is
22:18 actually talking about weight billows
22:20 and waterfalls and terrible things
22:23 happening to it's the idea and so jesus
22:25 suffers he goes down to sheet to Sheol
22:27 he goes to the grave and he suffers what
22:32 the judgment and the wrath for my sins
22:35 verse 4 then i said i am driven away
22:38 from your sight yet i shall again look
22:41 upon your holy temple could not jesus
22:43 have said this my god my god why have
22:46 you forsaken me yet he knew that he
22:48 would once again look upon and it says
22:50 your holy temple well we are the temple
22:52 of the holy spirit now and jesus died in
22:55 order to make us that temple so he will
22:56 again it was for the joy set before him
22:58 he endured the cross despising the shame
23:02 I think this is kind of interesting the
23:04 waters closed in over me to take my life
23:06 the deep surrounded me weeds were
23:08 wrapped about my head at the roots of
23:10 the mountains I went down to the land
23:14 whose bars closed upon me forever yet
23:16 you brought of my life from the pit Oh
23:18 Lord my god and that phrase the pit is
23:21 very regularly used in Scripture to talk
23:26 about death talk about death a lot of
23:28 people think Jonah actually died inside
23:31 the fish because of this prayer it
23:33 sounds like he's saying I died and you
23:37 brought me back so you might so for
23:38 those who were like how could he survive
23:40 inside the fish well maybe he didn't
23:43 it's possible he didn't I'm either way
23:45 God's obviously doing a miracle through
23:48 this thing then in verse 7 when my life
23:50 was fainting away I remembered the Lord
23:52 and my prayer came to you into your holy
23:54 temple those who pay regard to vain
23:56 idols forsake their hope of steadfast
23:59 love but I with the voice of
24:03 Thanksgiving will sacrifice to you what
24:05 I have vowed I will pay salvation
24:08 belongs to the Lord
24:10 I can't help but think of Jesus in the
24:12 Garden of Gethsemane weeping great drops
24:14 or sweating great drops of blood and
24:16 he's like if there's any other way yet
24:18 nevertheless let your will be done he's
24:19 gonna vow we're gonna pay what he's
24:21 vowed what he's committed to come and
24:23 he's gonna pay it he's gonna sacrifice
24:27 himself it's so interesting that he's
24:29 like there's a sacrifice I mean why is
24:31 why is Jonah talking about a sacrifice
24:34 he's been eaten by a fish for not going
24:37 and speaking God's Word to the Ninevites
24:39 and he speaks here at the end of of
24:41 paying what he's vowed and a sacrifice
24:43 and I think that this is you could
24:46 almost have the entire prayer of Jonah
24:48 in the mouth of Jesus relating to the
24:51 cross and his death and resurrection I
24:52 think that's pretty cool
24:54 I think that's pretty cool and I didn't
24:56 just make it up because Jesus is the one
24:57 that kind of pointed us over there with
25:01 his own words in Matthew 12 39 and 40
25:05 okay one more the cornerstone last one
25:08 first Peter chapter 2 verses 7 and 8
25:10 Jesus is called the cornerstone and I
25:11 have to say this one gets me very
25:13 excited and I'm not gonna impact the
25:14 entire thing because again we're going
25:18 for quantity over quality today first
25:20 Peter chapter 2 7 it says so the honor
25:22 is for you who believe but for those who
25:24 do not believe for those who do not
25:26 believe the stone that the builders
25:29 rejected has become the cornerstone and
25:31 a stone of stumbling in a rock of
25:33 offense and these are quotes because
25:35 their quotes of the Old Testament they
25:37 stumble because they disobey the word as
25:40 they were destined to now this is
25:42 actually from psalm 118 which is a very
25:45 messianic type psalm and I'll show you
25:47 why in a second but let me pause to
25:49 point something out sometimes when
25:51 you're looking at some of the some of
25:52 the verses people say our prophecy about
25:54 Christ you look at it and you go that
25:57 isn't clearly obviously about Jesus
25:59 whereas some of it is there is plenty
26:01 that is clearly obviously but some of it
26:02 you're like I don't know if I would use
26:04 that when trying to convince someone
26:05 that Jesus is the Old Testament Messiah
26:09 and I agree I wouldn't use this to
26:11 convince somebody I would use this to
26:14 help Christians appreciate what God has
26:16 done in the scriptures I would go to
26:19 Isaiah 53 I would go to Psalm 22 I would
26:21 go to Daniel 9 I would go to the
26:22 passages I've done in my evidence for
26:24 the Bible series I would go to those to
26:26 convince you that Jesus is the Messiah
26:28 but once you've locked that in you can
26:30 then go to the rest and you can do what
26:33 we're doing today so when you hear him
26:34 quote that he's the stone that the
26:36 builders rejected and he's the chief
26:37 Cornerstone and if it what's in your
26:39 mind is every verse has to prove the
26:41 Bible true well then you've really
26:42 limited the text of scripture because
26:44 it's only allowed to do one thing for
26:45 you you can't appreciate what God's
26:48 written because your doubt has caused
26:51 you to not be able to just read the text
26:53 everything has to prove everything right
26:55 you have to prove every fact of
26:56 Scripture okay all right so you've
26:58 proven that the that the Bible was
27:01 really written that way but can you can
27:02 you prove there was a mountain right
27:04 there in that exact spot at that time
27:06 and everything has to be proved every
27:08 five seconds have you guys experienced
27:11 this before it's crippling doubt and
27:15 it's irrational now it's doubt and to
27:18 the point where you're not able to let
27:20 people finish this sentence without
27:21 interrupting them to telling them to
27:23 tell them about everything that's wrong
27:24 with the way they put the comma in the
27:26 wrong place verbally I don't if that's possible
27:26 possible
27:30 okay so psalm 118 back to the stone that
27:32 the builders rejected this is what first
27:33 Peter is talking about psalm 118 and
27:35 verse 22 this is the verse that's quoted
27:37 the stone that the builders rejected has
27:40 become the cornerstone this is the
27:41 Lord's doing it as marvelous in our eyes
27:43 this is the day the Lord has made let us
27:45 rejoice and be glad in it
27:48 this statement about the stone that the
27:50 builders rejected the builders of course
27:52 are probably talking about the builders
27:54 of the temple and the story that psalm
27:56 118 is seeming to communicate is this
27:58 this old traditional story that that
28:00 when they were building now they
28:03 wouldn't have the sound of tools and in
28:05 Solomon's Temple in the area where they
28:06 were constructing it so they would do
28:08 the quarrying over here then they would
28:11 bring the stones up later and so they'd
28:12 send up the stones
28:14 well the cornerstones gonna look
28:16 different than the rest but it's an
28:18 important chief stone you know this is
28:19 important stone in the building
28:21 construction of the temple so the
28:22 builders get this stone that looks
28:23 different from the rest and they get it
28:25 too early in the building time and they
28:26 go what is this we don't know what this
28:29 is so they roll it downhill I just we
28:32 reject it just toss it downhill later on
28:33 when they're finishing the temple as
28:34 that story goes
28:37 they say send word to the quarry we need
28:40 the Chiefs cornerstone and the core he
28:42 goes yeah we sent that up to you like
28:43 forever ago man
28:46 like you already had it what'd you do to
28:48 it and they look down the hill and they
28:54 go oh that stone we rejected that's the
28:57 chief Cornerstone and that's the text
29:01 here in psalm 118 22 and it's we
29:02 realized in first peter's about Jesus
29:05 that the stone rejected stone about the
29:07 temple ends up being Jesus he's the
29:09 chief Cornerstone he was what the whole
29:10 thing was about
29:12 he's what it was all leading up into it
29:13 was all about Jesus but the builders
29:15 rejected him the high priests the
29:17 Pharisees Sadducees the leadership of
29:20 the time including the Roman leadership
29:23 I mean he was rejected by many so this
29:25 is this is typology this is exciting but
29:28 if you go back to to psalm 118 and you
29:30 just keep reading we get to a passage
29:33 that you know you know this passage it's
29:35 all money between 25 it says save us or
29:40 save now or Hosanna that's the word
29:43 Hosanna we pray O Lord O Lord we pray
29:46 give us success blessed is he who comes
29:48 in the name of the Lord we bless you
29:50 from the house of the Lord the Lord is
29:52 God and he has made his light to shine
29:57 upon us pause for a second we got to
29:58 read the rest of that cuz it's kind of
30:01 neat right but Jesus shows up and he is
30:04 according to psalm 118 there is a stone
30:06 that will be rejected Jesus shows up he
30:08 enters into Jerusalem and weenie enters
30:10 in on Good Friday they are crying out or
30:13 some Palm Sunday they're crying out
30:17 Hosanna Hosanna saved now sin now
30:19 success they're crying out this exact
30:22 psalm and what happens the builders
30:26 reject him and then how does verse 27
30:30 end in psalm 118 bind the festal or the
30:32 the sacrifice the for the feast
30:35 sacrifice bind the festal sacrifice with
30:39 cords up to the horns of the altar we
30:44 have we have Palm Sunday and Good Friday
30:48 put together in this psalm 118 he is the
30:49 cornerstone he was sent to you you
30:52 rejected him and now he is put upon this
30:54 the altar the sacrifice and so he goes
30:57 to the cross this is amazing
31:04 I am just I've realized that many people
31:06 when they're confronted with the
31:09 interweaving beauty and majesty of the
31:11 text of scripture that they won't
31:14 comprehend it for whatever reason it
31:17 just doesn't land I don't know but it
31:19 lands with me and I hope it lands with
31:23 you I am blown away by the beauty and
31:25 majesty of the text of the scriptures
31:27 here I could sit and just study this one
31:31 Psalm all day and look at how it was
31:33 pictured and then fulfilled by Jesus Christ
31:34 Christ
31:36 now first Peter the other thing it
31:37 mentioned so mentions he's the
31:38 cornerstone the stone that was rejected
31:41 this passage that does not obviously
31:44 speak clearly about Messiah but is a is
31:47 it is a foreshadowing that then becomes
31:49 clear when Jesus shows up and then
31:51 Isaiah 8:14 is the other part the stone
31:53 of stumbling the rock of offense it says
31:54 and he will become a sanctuary and a
31:56 stone of a fence and a rock of stumbling
31:58 to both houses of Israel a trap at a
32:00 snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
32:03 speaking altom utley about Christ blows
32:04 me away all right last one
32:08 David let's talk about David okay
32:11 there's like eight more all right David
32:14 Ezekiel 37 verse 24 says my servant
32:16 David shall be king over them and they
32:18 shall all have one Shepherd they shall
32:20 walk in my rules and be careful to obey
32:22 my statutes and you might be like and
32:24 I'm actually throwing this example out
32:26 there on purpose this is a less certain
32:31 example Ezekiel 37 24 this is the less
32:34 clear possible foreshadowing of Christ
32:35 why do I say that
32:38 okay Ezekiel 37 is written long after
32:42 David is dead and gone and we know that
32:44 in that the house of David and the son
32:47 of David is the Messiah who is to come
32:50 but a zekiel 37 simply refers to a
32:52 future righteous ruling King and just
32:56 calls him David the two options are that
32:57 in some future time
32:59 David resurrected and his resurrected
33:02 body actually rains and that's quite
33:04 possible maybe he will have some sort of
33:06 authority and rulership during maybe the
33:08 millennium or something like that and
33:09 the other option is that this is
33:11 actually just calling Jesus David
33:13 because he's the son of David because
33:16 he's inherits this sort of typology that
33:18 David started Jesus fulfills and that
33:21 may be the case that may be the case and
33:23 there's other supportive passages as
33:25 well I do think David is a type of
33:27 Christ and I'll hopefully we'll get into
33:29 that later on in the same series so then
33:32 we have the temple okay this is kind of
33:36 neat have you ever heard raise your hand
33:38 if you've heard a study where people go
33:41 through the the trappings in the design
33:43 of the temple the tabernacle and they
33:44 talk about how it relates to Christ have
33:46 you guys experienced that before we may
33:48 well do that in this series I think is
33:50 kind of a fun and neat thing to do and I
33:53 do think it relates but I think it has
33:55 an actual biblical basis and John
33:59 chapter 2 verse 18 I'll start here John
34:01 2:18 so the Jews said to him what sign
34:03 do you do you show us for doing these
34:05 things they asked Jesus for a sign and
34:07 jesus answered them here's the sign
34:10 right destroy this temple and in three
34:13 days I will raise it up now Jesus knew
34:14 how they were gonna take this statement
34:17 right destroy this temple he knows
34:19 they're gonna not understand him why on
34:22 earth does he say this temple well it
34:24 says the Jews then said it is taken us
34:26 46 years to build this temple and will
34:29 you raise it up in three days like you
34:31 can't build things that fast not even
34:32 like you know there was no 3d printers
34:35 back then verse 21 it says but he was
34:38 speaking about the temple of his body
34:42 when therefore he was raised from the
34:43 dead his disciples remembered that he'd
34:45 said this and they believed the
34:46 scripture and a word that Jesus had
34:49 spoken Jesus purposely and deliberately
34:52 confuses the identity of the temple and
34:56 himself and he says destroy this temple
34:58 in three days and I will destroy this
34:59 temple and in three days I will raise it
35:02 up interestingly enough this is it's
35:04 this phrase that really lends towards
35:07 him getting condemned later on it's as
35:09 though he gave them the the the ammo
35:11 they twisted his words they said Jesus
35:12 said he was going to destroy the temple
35:14 but that's obviously not what he said
35:16 and they knew it as well but they used
35:18 this to try to twist words to attack him
35:20 later on when he's in his trial with the
35:22 with the Jewish trials he went through
35:23 they used this and they twist it and
35:26 throw it back in his face hmm so that's
35:26 that's okay
35:28 just mark that down there's one time
35:31 where Jesus deliberately confuses the
35:32 identity between the temple and himself
35:35 and then the Bible the text calls it the
35:37 temple of his body interesting then in
35:40 John 1:14 we have this phrase and the
35:43 word became flesh and dwelt among us
35:45 dwell among us and we've seen his glory
35:48 glory as of the only son from the father
35:49 full of grace and truth
35:53 and that word dwelt is literally the
35:56 same word we use for tabernacled or the
35:58 tabernacle and so that some some
36:00 translations actually translate it that
36:01 way so the word became flesh and
36:03 tabernacled amongst us that's
36:07 interesting that that word is used there
36:10 very interesting then when we get to
36:13 Exodus 29 now this may not seem super
36:14 convincing to you but there's more
36:17 there's not just wait okay so Exodus
36:20 chapter 29 verse 43 it says there I will
36:23 meet with the people of Israel again God
36:25 speaking to his people and it shall be
36:27 sanctified by my glory and what's the
36:31 Very's talking about the temple right so
36:33 look at how God describes the temple it
36:35 sits where God will meet with his people
36:37 right it will be sanctified by his glory
36:39 I will consecrate the tent of meeting
36:43 and the altar Aaron also and his sons I
36:44 will consecrate to serve me as priests I
36:46 will dwell among the people of Israel
36:48 and will be their God and they shall
36:50 know that I am the Lord their God who
36:52 brought them out of the land of Egypt
36:55 that I might dwell among them I am the
36:59 Lord their God remember when Moses came
37:01 to God and God says I'm not going down
37:02 to you if I go in your midst I will
37:05 destroy you because I'm holy in your
37:08 wicked and so then they made the temple
37:11 the tabernacle this is like God can't
37:13 dwell with us but but this location will
37:15 be like a way that God can be in our
37:21 the tabernacle is the Old Testament God
37:26 with us that's what it is it's the Old
37:27 Testament God with us right that's
37:29 that's God's dwelling place right there
37:35 the tabernacle Jesus refers to his body
37:39 as the temple and then in John 1:14 it
37:41 says the word became flesh and
37:44 tabernacled dwelt amongst us and Jesus
37:46 was called Immanuel God with us I think
37:48 that these are all into deliberate and
37:50 intentional things and then we have
37:52 something even stronger confirmation of
37:54 this in Hebrews 10 verses 19 and 20
37:56 where it says therefore brothers since
37:59 we have confidence to enter the holy the
38:01 holy places by the blood of Jesus by the
38:03 new and living way that he opened for us
38:07 through the curtain that is through his
38:11 flesh and now now you remember when
38:14 Jesus the curtain or the veil were
38:16 entering the holy places the Holy of
38:18 Holies through the veil this is temple
38:20 language this is the tabernacle there
38:22 was this thick veil that separated that
38:24 everyone from that one location the Holy
38:27 of Holies and when Jesus died there was
38:28 a great earthquake and that veil tore
38:30 from top to bottom remember reading
38:32 about that and then Hebrews says now it
38:34 interprets this event for us right we
38:36 have boldness to enter we can come right
38:38 into God's presence no more separation
38:39 between man and God
38:41 because that veil was torn and that veil
38:45 is his flesh his body now I put all
38:47 these things together and I go there is
38:48 definitely a connection between Jesus
38:52 and the temple it's very clear it's very
38:55 plain in scriptures and I think that
38:57 it's okay to then go and look at the
38:59 temple and say I wonder what else might
39:01 be there I think I have a legitimate
39:03 biblical reason to do that which makes
39:05 Bible study very exciting to me and
39:06 Passover all right
39:09 Passover let's talk about Passover first
39:12 Corinthians 5:7 Jesus relates to
39:14 Passover it says cleanse out the old
39:16 leaven that you may be a new lump as you
39:19 really are unleavened for Christ our
39:27 Passover lamb has been sacrificed Christ
39:29 our Passover lamb he's a straight up
39:32 called the Passover the Passover lamb
39:34 he's been sacrificed for us and Passover
39:37 we know as a Jewish feast now think
39:38 about the scope for a second right we're
39:39 looking at the forest not just the trees
39:41 look at the variety of trees in this
39:46 forest we have people we have events we
39:50 have sort of riddle e phrases in the
39:52 book of psalms about like stone rejected
39:56 become the cornerstone we've got the
39:58 veil in the temple we have now feasts
40:01 the Passover that are all seen as types
40:03 and shadows of Christ what I'm saying is
40:05 this like there's in the scope of your
40:08 Old Testament do you realize how much
40:10 variety of what you have in your Old
40:11 Testament is being said to relate to
40:14 Jesus and this is all directly from the
40:17 New Testament teaching this isn't some
40:19 sort of creative Bible study technique
40:23 this is just what the text says so
40:25 Christ our Passover lamb has been
40:27 sacrificed and then in John 1:29 when
40:29 Jesus shows up this is kind of confirmed
40:31 even more because it says in John 1:29
40:34 the next day he this is John the
40:37 Baptizer he saw Jesus coming toward him
40:41 and said behold the lamb of God who
40:47 takes away the sin of the world that's
40:49 interesting you know how the shadows are
40:51 always lesser and Jesus is always
40:53 greater the Jewish mind would have known
40:55 immediately what the Lamb of God is
40:56 right this is either the Passover lamb
40:58 or some other lambs of the sacrifices of
41:01 the Old Testament except none of them
41:03 none of them ever made the claim that
41:04 they would take away the sin of the
41:07 world at most it would do something for
41:11 Israel as a whole not the world Jesus
41:12 comes and he takes away the sin of the
41:14 world because he's greater so again we
41:17 see that Old Testament types represent
41:19 but fall short of Jesus so as you're
41:20 looking for types in the Old Testament
41:23 again expect it to fall short that's
41:24 kind of the point
41:26 right to create the need and the desire
41:28 for Jesus Christ
41:31 but there's more so the sin offering is
41:34 also referencing a type of Jesus Christ
41:37 in Hebrews 13 he was 13 verses 11 and 12
41:39 we read this for the bodies of those
41:41 animals this is talking about the Old
41:43 Testament sacrifices the bodies of those
41:45 animals whose blood is brought into the
41:45 holy place
41:47 by the high priest as a sacrifice for
41:51 sin are burned outside the camp so Jesus
41:53 also suffered outside the gate in order
41:54 to sanctify the people through his own
41:56 blood this is talking about specific
41:58 kind of sacrifice there's different
42:00 sacrifices if you read Leviticus right
42:02 it's orders and different ways that
42:04 sacrifices are to be done and this is
42:07 neat to me talk about opening the Book
42:10 of Leviticus to you it's saying that the
42:12 particular way in which the sacrifices
42:15 were to take place pictured Christ and
42:18 and this was the day of atonement
42:20 sacrifice specifically the day of
42:22 atonement sacrifice the animal was
42:24 slaughtered the blood was taken just the
42:26 blood and it was brought all the way
42:28 into the Holy of Holies the only one
42:29 time of year when they could even enter
42:31 into the Holy of Holies and the blood
42:33 was offered there before the presence of
42:36 God on the mercy seat right but the
42:39 bodies they were burned outside the camp
42:41 super far away you can't even not even
42:43 burned at the brazen altar not even
42:44 burned in the normal location but for
42:46 this sacrifice the body's taken all the
42:48 way outside the camp and Hebrews tells
42:50 us in the same sense Jesus suffered
42:53 outside the gate in order to sanctify
42:54 the people through his own blood did you
42:57 know the cross was located on Golgotha
43:00 Rite was located at Calvary outside the
43:02 gates of Jerusalem so it's brought
43:05 outside the camp and so Jesus is related
43:07 to this now now does this mean after the
43:09 day of atonement has specific sacrifices
43:12 that relate to Jesus in the in the
43:14 particulars of how the sacrifice is to
43:15 be done the stuff that you have a hard
43:19 time reading in Leviticus what else
43:21 might there be in Leviticus in the
43:23 sacrifices that might relate to Christ
43:25 I mean don't tell me that only the day
43:28 of atonement can be that way because I
43:31 mean Passover is that way they have
43:33 atonements that way the veils that way
43:35 the temples that way right the Book of
43:36 Psalms they got random stuff in the Book
43:38 of Psalms it's that way I got I got
43:40 David I got Moses I got no one I got the
43:42 Ark and I got the flood and I got
43:44 goodness gracious how many types are
43:47 there and that's the point I want us to
43:48 see how big the forest is tonight
43:51 because I think it will spark your your
43:55 desire for more then the scripture goes
43:57 on and it talks about sacrifices not
43:58 just the day of atonement but
44:00 Hebrews 923 talks about just sacrifices
44:03 in general and how the general nature of
44:05 the Old Testament sacrifices was a
44:08 foreshadowing to reveal something about
44:10 Christ and how he was greater Hebrews 9
44:14 23 thus it was necessary for the copies
44:15 of the heavenly things this is speaking
44:18 Hebrews 9 speaks about like like these
44:21 two temples one is God's very presence
44:23 in heaven and then there's the earthly
44:24 tabernacle that represents God's
44:27 presence we realized that the even the
44:29 this is kind of neat stuff maybe even
44:32 the temple itself the tabernacle look at
44:33 the way it's designed on the inside it
44:36 had like like these heavenly beings sewn
44:38 into it heavenly stuff sewn into on the
44:40 outside it was very earthly it was meant
44:41 to say like you're entering sort of into
44:43 heaven as you come into this place and
44:45 the presence of God so it was meant to
44:47 represent like God's presence in heaven
44:50 but it was just a shadow of God's actual
44:51 presence in a sense a foreshadowing of
44:54 it and so that's where it talks about
44:57 these two different sort of temples or
44:59 Tabernacles or places so he was 9:23
45:01 thus it was necessary for the copies of
45:02 the heavenly things that would be the
45:05 earthly stuff the tabernacle to be
45:07 purified with these rites but the
45:08 heavenly things themselves with better
45:11 sacrifices than these so when they
45:13 originally commemorated the tabernacle
45:14 as well as the temple that made a bunch
45:16 of sacrifices Moses he like takes the
45:18 blood and he like gets blood and stuff
45:21 on everything everything sanctified by
45:24 blood the the thing is everything has to
45:26 be sanctified by the blood of Jesus
45:30 Christ this is how it works but because
45:31 these are just copies of the heavenly
45:34 things Hebrews says of course God's
45:36 ultimate sanctification is going to be
45:39 better than this so interesting there's
45:40 more there in Hebrews nine you're
45:41 welcome to read it for yourself it's
45:45 great stuff another thing about Jesus is
45:47 that these sacrifices were offered
45:49 repeatedly but Jesus was only offered
45:51 one time see how the they fall short
45:53 Jesus fulfills it in a greater sense
45:56 Hebrews 5 which we're not gonna read
45:58 tonight but it it compared Jesus to the
46:00 priests and the high priest as well the
46:02 priests plural as well as the high
46:04 priests and we went into that a little
46:05 bit previously so I won't get into it as
46:08 well so the priests the sacrifices
46:10 multiple different feast days
46:13 the temple the veil all this stuff
46:16 relates to Christ and then the Sabbath
46:18 here's another one in case you thought
46:20 we ran out this have we're not gonna run
46:21 out by the way where it's gonna run at
46:24 that time in Colossians 2:16 it talks
46:26 about how the Sabbath somehow relates to
46:28 Christ and more than that actually so
46:31 let's read it therefore let no one pass
46:33 judgment on you in questions of food and
46:35 drink or with regard to a festival or
46:38 new moon or a Sabbath these are a shadow
46:40 of things to come but the substance
46:44 belongs to Christ right the the
46:45 festivals or new moons this talk about
46:47 the feast days we already talked about
46:48 Day of Atonement and Passover they
46:50 related to Jesus I wonder how the others
46:53 might then we have this statement about
46:55 the Sabbath but but first let me just
46:57 point out real quick in verse 17 it says
46:59 these are a shadow this is one of those
47:01 words we actually use in typological
47:04 terminology so they're a shadow that's
47:05 why I keep using the phrase before
47:08 shadowing you know when I was I was
47:09 taking a walk last night and some of my
47:11 neighbors have those insanely bright
47:15 porch lights and a couple of them have
47:18 them not like in on their porch but
47:20 these insanely bright porch lights are
47:21 like sticking at that part of their
47:24 house that almost comes to the curb so
47:27 so as I'm walking by if those lights are
47:29 behind me I noticed that my shadow goes
47:31 way out in front of me that's a
47:36 foreshadow and so these four shadowed
47:38 Jesus their shadows of what the things
47:40 to come now if you know someone very
47:41 well you can recognize them by their
47:46 shadow and so we see Jesus his shadow in
47:48 all this stuff and then he shows up and
47:50 you go yep that was you we were seeing
47:52 in the shadow the whole time so this is
47:54 not my imagination this is God's
47:56 inspired text in verse 17 these are a
47:59 shadow of the things to come but the
48:02 substance not the shadow the substance
48:04 is a belongs to Christ or is of Christ
48:06 that's New King James already loaded in
48:11 the brain there so Hebrews 4 talks about
48:12 this as well we already heard the
48:14 sabbath somehow the substance of the
48:16 sabbath is jesus how is Jesus the
48:20 substance of the Sabbath in Hebrews 4 we
48:21 get a whole bunch of stuff in Hebrews 4
48:23 about the Sabbath rest
48:26 theme and how it's the Sabbath is
48:27 incomplete outside of Christ and we're
48:29 gonna read a bunch of Hebrews four so
48:31 we're in a certain verse one this is
48:34 there for while the promise of entering
48:36 his rest still stands let us fear lest
48:38 any of you should seem to have failed to
48:39 reach it
48:41 he was already given us this sort of
48:44 case in the Old Testament that God has
48:45 promised that you can still enter into
48:48 his rest that it's a future thing verse
48:52 two for good news came to us just as to
48:53 them but the message they heard did not
48:55 benefit them because they were not
48:57 united by faith with those who listened
49:00 for we who have believed enter that rest
49:03 as he has said as I swear on my wrath
49:05 they shall not enter my rest this is
49:07 Psalm 95 and it deserves me to go to
49:10 Psalm 95 and explain it all but I don't
49:10 have time
49:14 so homework for you I want to focus just
49:15 on how Jesus fulfills the Sabbath that's
49:17 the point at the moment so although his
49:18 works were finished from the foundation
49:21 of the world that is God six days he
49:22 created the heavens and the earth and
49:25 the seventh day he rested because he's
49:27 done not because he's tired he's done
49:32 he's resting verse four for he has
49:34 somewhere spoken of the seventh day in
49:36 this way and God rested on the seventh
49:37 day from all his works and again in this
49:40 passage he said they shall not enter my
49:42 rest that is Psalm 95 he tells the
49:45 people I'm resting but you are not
49:47 entering my rest there's some future
49:49 rest for you you guys didn't get it
49:51 but it still is available for us verse
49:54 six since therefore it remains for some
49:55 to enter it and those who formerly
49:57 received the good news failed to enter
49:59 because of disobedience again he
50:02 appoints a certain day today saying this
50:03 is all commentary on Psalm 85
50:06 saying through David so long afterward
50:08 in the words already quoted today if you
50:10 hear his voice do not harden your hearts
50:12 for if Joshua had given them rest God
50:14 would not have spoken of another day
50:16 later on he's kind of cutting off
50:17 someone who will misinterpret the Old
50:19 Testament well they entered rest when
50:20 they enter the promised land they
50:21 entered the rest of God
50:23 oh no no because many years later God
50:24 says that are not entering his rest and
50:26 there's a today there's a present
50:29 promise about entering his rest so how
50:31 do we enter his rest Old Testament
50:33 question mark New Testament exclamation
50:36 point in Jesus Christ so if Joshua given
50:36 them rest God would
50:38 of spoken of another day later on first
50:41 nine so then there remains a Sabbath
50:44 rest for the people of God for whoever's
50:47 entered God's rest has also rested from
50:50 his works as God did from his so this is
50:51 connecting the theme of this is kind of
50:53 neat stuff actually connecting the theme
50:56 of God's rest Genesis with the Sabbath
50:58 and with the promise of a future rest in
51:01 Psalm 95 and then verse 11 let us
51:03 therefore strive to enter that rest so
51:05 that no one may fall by the same sort of
51:08 disobedience Christ is the substance he
51:10 is the rest Christ is my Sabbath he is
51:13 my Sabbath rest I rest in him Jesus says
51:16 in Matthew 11:28 come to me all who
51:19 labor and are heavy laden and I will
51:25 give you rest yeah that's kind of neat
51:28 do you think Jesus was thinking about
51:32 Genesis and Psalm 95 he inspired it okay
51:33 of course he was thinking about all that
51:39 so let's look at Luke 424 I want to look
51:41 at this as one of our last passages for
51:46 tonight this is a really neat passage in
51:48 Luke 24 because here's where Jesus takes
51:51 a compilation of more than one event Old
51:52 Testament events and he adds them
51:54 together to show that they were
51:56 establishing like this repeated pattern
51:58 that was meant to teach you something
52:01 about Messiah this is kind of neat stuff
52:04 so so here now we have a new kind of
52:06 typology it's not this happened here
52:08 that represents Messiah this happened
52:09 here that represents Messiah
52:13 instead this one is this happened here
52:15 here here and that pattern became a
52:16 pattern which also happened with Jesus
52:19 as he came and stepped into the shadow
52:23 he had been casting Luke for 24 and he
52:25 said truly I say to you no prophet is
52:29 acceptable in his hometown but in truth
52:31 I tell you there were many widows and
52:32 see if you can Pharaoh why he's bringing
52:34 up these stories and why do they get mad
52:36 at him when he does there were many
52:38 widows in the Israel in the in Israel in
52:40 the days of Elijah when the heavens were
52:42 shut up three years and six months and a
52:44 great famine came over all the land and
52:48 Elijah was sent to none of them but only two
52:49 two
52:52 Aira faith in the land of Sidon to a
52:55 woman who was a widow now that is gonna
52:57 make them a little bit angry I'll
52:58 explain why in just a moment verse 27
53:01 and there were many lepers in Israel in
53:04 the time of the prophet Elijah and none
53:07 of them was cleansed but only naman the
53:10 Syrian when they heard these things and
53:12 all in the synagogue were filled with
53:15 wrath and they rose up and drove him out
53:16 of the town and brought him to the brow
53:18 of the hill on which their town was
53:20 built so that they could throw him down
53:23 the cliff but passing through their
53:25 midst he went his way why are they so
53:28 mad because the widow and Neyman are
53:32 Gentiles and he says there were lots of
53:34 widows in the days of Elijah repet God
53:37 sent him to a Gentile why did God send
53:39 Elijah to a Gentile woman there were
53:41 lots of lepers in the days of Elijah who
53:43 did many miracles but why is the only
53:46 leper he cleansed a Syrian a Gentile and
53:49 rather than think hmm maybe God was
53:50 telling us something they get angry and
53:53 they're their national pride rises up
53:57 they come against him Jesus is revealing
53:59 to us that there's a pattern here that
54:01 Elijah Elijah they're both consistent
54:05 with their received by the Gentiles but
54:09 not by Israel Jesus comes and who is he
54:13 received by right read the book of Acts
54:15 it actually carries the course of the
54:16 gospel going out to the Jews some of
54:18 them got saved praise God many of them
54:20 rejected and then we get these events
54:22 where Paul's like fine we're gonna go to
54:23 the Gentiles you're kicking us out of
54:24 the synagogue we'll go to the Gentiles
54:26 all right we have the parable of Jesus
54:28 who tells about yeah go into the
54:29 highways and byways and invite them all
54:31 to the wedding if these invited don't
54:35 want to come Jesus is revealing that
54:36 Elijah Elijah they're like a pattern now
54:38 that pattern actually gets bigger if you
54:41 look at other texts of Scripture David
54:42 there was a time when David already
54:44 anointed king of Israel but was rejected
54:46 by Saul and chased out by the armies of
54:49 Israel and he went into the hands and
54:51 into the lands of the Gentiles and he
54:54 was employed and embraced by them we
54:56 read about this with Moses Moses when he
54:58 we can also read this in the book of
55:00 Acts chapter 7 x7 is your homework if
55:02 you want more homework
55:04 and Stephens address and he says damn
55:06 Moses like he comes to the people and he
55:08 and he avenges one of his brothers who's
55:11 being beaten and by this Egyptian he
55:14 slays the Egyptian and in acts 7 he says
55:16 well Moses figured his people would
55:18 recognize right I'm here to deliver you
55:20 but instead they tattletale on him and
55:23 he has to flee and who is he received by
55:26 Jethro some other people outside some
55:29 Gentile outside in the liminal in the
55:31 land of Midian and there he becomes like
55:33 the Shepherd and he's received and he's
55:34 well and then later he comes back his
55:37 second coming he's received by the
55:43 Jewish people Joseph Joseph rejected by
55:45 his brothers sold into slavery received
55:49 by Pharaoh and the Gentiles and they're
55:50 raised up then finally second time
55:52 around he's received by his own family
55:53 and they're to deliver them and help
55:56 them there's a pattern here that Jesus
55:58 follows or I should say they are
56:01 patterned after Jesus they foreshadowed
56:06 him as he was coming this may bring a
56:07 new meaning to Jesus's statement in
56:10 Matthew 5:17 where he says do not think
56:12 that I've come to abolish the law or the
56:13 prophets I have not come to abolish them
56:16 but to fulfill them and we often think
56:18 of him fulfilling the law but we don't
56:20 realize he also fulfilled the prophets
56:21 and the statement law and prophets it
56:23 was been meant to encompass the
56:25 scriptures he's I I've come to fulfil at
56:28 all how much is there for us to still
56:29 learn how much is there for the
56:31 scriptures to be open to us as we learn
56:33 more and more about Christ whether it's
56:35 direct prophecy or thematic elements
56:36 that represent Jesus types and shadows
56:39 this does not again it does not replace
56:41 the simple meaning of the text but it's
56:43 to recognize that God has been doing
56:45 something all along that has finally
56:46 revealed in Jesus and were intended to
56:48 go back to the Old Testament with that
56:53 in mind we're intended to I hope that
56:56 this stirs your minds and imaginations
56:58 and well not so much your imagination as
56:59 your mind
57:02 we got to be careful and we want to find
57:04 what God has already placed in the text
57:05 we're not intending to fabricate things
57:07 and I think it's good rules for us to be
57:09 cautious you may find something you
57:11 really like it may or may not be
57:13 legitimate hold on to it loosely if
57:15 you're not so sure about it it's okay to
57:17 be like maybe this maybe that I'm not
57:20 sure but we are meant I believe to go to
57:21 the scriptures and view them through the
57:24 lens of the revelation of Christ I think
57:25 we're supposed to do that because the
57:27 New Testament does that and it seems to
57:30 me Jesus does that and and I I do think
57:33 I mean I don't know how long you've been
57:34 you've been a believer I've been a
57:38 believer for a couple years now and and
57:40 I'm and I'm kind of shocked is I think
57:40 I've heard I don't know how many
57:42 thousands of Bible says I love listening
57:43 to Bible studies I listen him all the
57:47 time and I'm like I don't remember ever
57:49 being taught very much about this
57:51 actually when I think about it and I'm
57:53 not here to criticize the teachers right
57:55 like oh it's all their fault for not you
57:57 know I mean I got a Bible I could do my
57:59 own study what I'm saying though is
58:00 maybe this is a somewhat neglected
58:02 section in our understanding of
58:03 Scripture and perhaps we're neglecting
58:05 something that is actually central to
58:08 the main message of the text when we
58:10 don't see Jesus throughout its pages
58:13 let's pray father God thank you for your
58:17 word thank you for Jesus Christ revealed
58:20 and we pray revealed more and more as we
58:21 study the text of scriptures we pray
58:23 Lord that you would light a fire in us
58:25 of passion to know your word better and
58:28 to see it more clearly and more truly we
58:30 pray for great insights as you see the
58:34 variety of ways in which the law and the
58:36 prophets they speak of him how Moses
58:39 wrote of him we want our hearts to burn
58:40 with hennas as you open the scriptures
58:43 to us so you pray for wisdom insight and
58:46 for us to discover not not fabricate but
58:47 to discover what you have always had
58:51 there for us in Jesus name Amen [Music]
