Episode 991: What Is the Good News? | Part 1

The English noun ‘gospel’ comes from the Anglo-Saxon term ‘godspell’, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Intro• Isaiah 52 – Your Elohim reigns• Yahweh will return to Zion• Nahum 1:15 – Those bringing the Good News• Matthew 4:23 – The good news of the Kingdom of Elohim• Psalm 40:9 – The good news of righteousness • Matthew 9:35 – What are we supposed to be proclaiming?• Matthew 11:2 – Evidence of the Good News• Isaiah 35 – The way of righteousness?• The good news of redemption?• Matthew 24:14 – and then the end shall come• Matthew 26:13 – Memorialized in the Good News• Why did Yeshua allow this?• Mark 1 – A way to get there• Repent and believe in the Good News• Mark 8:34 – Messiah ‘and’ the Good News?• Mark 10:29 – Messiah ‘and’ the Good News?• Luke 1:11 – To make a people prepared for Yahweh• Deuteronomy 4:30 – Returning from exileListen to the Afterburn tomorrowTake advantage of new teachings every week.
