    The document discusses prophecies from the Old Testament books of Micah, Psalms, Zechariah, Isaiah, and Daniel that foretell aspects of Jesus' ministry, death, and salvation, as well as a future judgment and restoration, arguing these prophecies point to Jesus as the promised Messiah. It also notes how the Jews misunderstood some prophecies but how understanding them in light of Jesus' first coming clarifies their meaning.

    THE PROPHETS

    STAGE 3 – PART 4

    BIBLE PASSAGES: QUESTIONS


    Basic: • How did the Jews misunderstand the prophe-
    Micah 5, Psalm 55, cies of Jesus, and how do we avoid doing
    Zachariah 11, Psalm 22, likewise?
    Isaiah 53
    • How can we see that the prophecies point to
    Jesus?
    Extended:
    Jeremiah 31:27-40, • What difference does it make, living after the
    Daniel 1-12, Isaiah 1, time of Jesus and knowing that there will be
    42, 43, 52:13—53:12, a Second Coming?
    65-66, Malachi 1-3

    THOUGHTS
    The prophets predict:
    • The Messiah will die
    • He will be betrayed
    • The Messiah will save us
    • We will be healed by His wounds

    They also predict:


    • Paradise will be restored
    • There will be a new heaven and a new earth
    • There will be joy everlasting
    • Evil will disappear forever

    CONCLUSION
    The promises point to the Messiah. All of history
    points towards Jesus Christ. God is in control of
    history – the beginning and the end.

    APPEAL
    Do you have the courage to believe that God
    is in control?

    BACKGROUND
    After King David things go well under King Solomon’s
    rule, but after some time he returns to the worship of
    false gods.
    Following the death of King Solomon Israel is split into
    two kingdoms:
    1. Israel (the Northern kingdom)
    2. Judah (the Southern kingdom)
    Then, after repeated rebellion and openly rejecting God,
    Israel is scattered among other nations.
    Ultimately, after a final warning by the prophet
    Jeremiah, the people of Judah are taken captive and
    brought to Babylon.
    The rebellion leads to exile – the temple is destroyed –
    the people are separated from God.

    STUDY
    Read Isaiah 1:1-17
    What is the situation among the Jews before the exile?
    Why is God angry with them? How are they treating
    each other?

    Read Daniel 2
    Which kingdoms is this concerning? What do you think
    the Jews made of this vision? What did the great rock
    symbolise from their point of view?

    35
    EXTENDED

    COMPARE
    Read both chapter 2 and chapter 7 in the Book
    of Daniel
    What part of the first vision is explained in greater
    detail in chapter 7?
    What part of the legs of iron is still present today?
    What is significant about the little horn?

    REFLECTION
    Think of who the solution is in chapter 7.
    Think of how the Jews are likely to have interpreted
    it in the time of Jesus.
    What difference does it make to our understanding
    that we are living after the first coming of Jesus?
