Apocalyptic Studies - Lesson 7

Israel and Her Prophetic Destiny
by Ed Taylor

Understanding God's plans for Israel is an important key to understanding apocalyptic revelation in the bible.

In this study we discuss Replacement Theology, Paul's teaching in Romans 11 on national Israel's destiny, Jewish election and priority, and Israel as firstborn son among the nations. Also covered is a high level overview of prophetic events recently fulfilled and those still future for Israel including the return of Israel from global exile to their own land, the end of Gentile control of Jerusalem, Psalm 83 prophecy, Ezekiel's war (Gog and Magog), and Zechariah's prophecy about all nations being gathered to fight against Jerusalem.

Psalms - Lesson 4

Bethany Church, April 21, 2021


Study Notes

Career of Messiah - The Anointed One

Messiah means anointed one. This is a transliteration of a Hebrew word. The Greek word for it is Christ.

In the Old Testament (Hebrew bible) anointing was a ritual of pouring oil over someone who had been designated by God to fulfill an office. Three types of individuals were anointed: Prophets, Priests and Kings.

Jesus Christ, as Messiah, fulfills all three offices.

This chart summarizes the career of Messiah down through history, and the primary names and titles associated with him.

The office boundaries are not hard and fast, but given in the time period when that office is prominent.
