How do I Understand the Old Testament Prophecies?

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)
