Review of The Bible Class Session: The Prophecies of His Passion

REVIEW OF
THE BIBLE CLASS
OF THURSDAY THE 12TH OF MARCH 2015
THE ESSENCE OF EASTER/THE PROPHECIES OF HIS PASSION

What a great time we had yesterday. God's presence was awesome with us there.

We had alloted 5-6pm for counselling but the Holy Spirit actually hijacked that as pastors discussed extensively issues of church/ministry administration, finance, church and organisational tithing, church welfare system, a minister's job description both as full time and part time and so on... with embellishments of rich experience by quite a number of ministers already around.... you can imagine how we possible it was to discussed all that and even more within an hour.

By 6pm...the main discussion for the day began.
THe ESSENCE OF EASTER/The Prophecies of His Passion.

Starting from Genesis

Genesis 3:15...The seed of the woman bruising the head of the serpent and the serpent bruising His heel...
•The woman was not Eve who was in the then present picture
•The Seed of the woman was now standing and the serpent was fallen.... the heel and the head positions.
•Galatians 4:4 explained Jesus born of a woman and made under the law...

2. The prophetic parable of the Scape goat. Leviticus 16:1-26.
Aaron was instructed to take a bull and two goats.
Offer the bull for his own sin and that of his family. Cast lot on the goats to separate one for offering and the other to be released. Both for sin offering of the tabernacle.

The one upon which the lot fell shall be killed and offered to the LORD while the other one shall be released in to the wilderness carrying the sin of the people.

The two goats carrying the sins of the people. One died, the other alive. Depicting death and resurrection of the lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world.

3. The Prophecies of David. David would step many times into the prophetic image of Christ. He'll speak by the Spirit of Christ.
Psalms 16:8-11 spoke concerning being in sheol/hell/death region and his not seeing corruption. David never went through these and so must have spoken prophetically. Jesus died and rose again.

Psalms 22 was explained from verse 1...till the clothes were taken from Him as He paid the price for our prosperity.

4. The prophecies of Isaiah in chapters 52&53...

5. The Prophecies of Hosea 6:1-2 and the importance of the word 'we' used to described the operation of dying, reviving and living before Him. This connotes the fact that we died and rose together with him, a very hot point of excited discussion as we see our place in His passion in prophecies! 

6. The Prophecies of Jesus about His death and resurrection.

The parable and sign of Jonah... 3days and night in the belly of the fish.

The discussion on this was around the fact that though Jonah was seen as rebellious running away from the face of God to Tarshish instead of Nineveh, God was organising a prophecy concerning Jesus. The errors we regret may actually be God speaking what we may not understand till later or even eternity...let's leave out the guilt of the past and make the most of the future...

Contributions, questions and answers too numerous to mention here all added so much value and made the time such a great time...

This led to the discussions about Why believers still behave as if they aren't died for, why they behave and talk as if they are yet to be saved and delivered and sitted with Christ on the right hand of God...

The question was who was to be blamed for our ignorance of these things.

The people answered that both the people and the ministers who should teach. Each person has certain responsibility towards seeking the knowledge of the truth and living by it. While the ministers should teach and live by same truths.

In all we had a wow time and the meeting closed by 8pm.

THE ESSENCE OF EASTER continues in a fortnight on Thursday 26th March 2015... by 6pm. Counselling starts 5pm
