How do I Understand the Old Testament Prophecies?

from City Base Church · host City Base Church

In today's message, Alex Becker teaches on the calling and purpose of the Old Testament prophets, and how their prophecies impact our understanding of God's Word, and point us to Jesus, the Saviour. The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God,to comfort all who mourn,3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of joy instead of mourning,and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. (Isaiah 61: 1 - 3 NIV)
