Roots of Faith

Ross started a new series this week.  The class begins with a riddle:

He was believed to be the Messiah
Some say that his ministry was foreseen by the prophets
He was called the “Light”
He was killed before the 2nd Temple fell
His death may be described in the Hebrew Bible
Some believed that he was raised from the dead
His followers are still around today

Ross begins the class with an intro that expounds on Isaiah 40.  He explores the phrase “the Way of YHWH”, looks into the “highway” mentioned in the prophets and talks about the “good news”.

Who is the messenger of the covenant? What is repentance?

“Christianity” claims that its message is to be based upon a prophetic message (see for example 2 Peter 1:16-21).

Both John and Jesus are called prophets and so it becomes essential that we understand this subject.

Here are some of the passages that Ross uses to teach this subject.
Exodus 20:18-21
Deuteronomy 18:9-22
Amos 3:1-8

Prophets are shown in this class to be the ones that make messiahs -

See for example; 1 Kings 19:15-16 and 1 Samuel 9:15-16

The Hebrew word for prophet is navi - which comes from a root word that means to “bubble up or flow / pour forth”. Ross shows that the prophet is a spokesman. He also points out an example to explain what a prophet is (see Exodus 4:10-16 and Exodus 7:1-2.)

You will not want to miss this class as it will serve as a transition to the next teaching series.

Shalom

In this 4th class of the Messiah series, Ross explores further the subject of the son of David.

Yeshua asked a question of his opponents concerning the lineage of the “Messiah”.  Was this not a known fact?  Is it not clear that the “Messiah” will be born from the lineage of David?  What does the priestly order of MelchiTzedek have to do with the Messiah?

Ross covers the promises to David and reads Psalm 89.  This psalm begins with a review of the promises to David and then seems to suggest that the promises have been forgotten.  Where is this promised kingdom the psalmist asks?

Can one that is descended from David serve at the altar?  Ross covers some passages that seem to suggest that only the priests can serve at the altar.  This is also covered in the New Testament book of Hebrews.  But is this true? 

These and other questions are raised in this class.  You will not want to miss this class.
