From Moses to David: the Law and the Monarchy – Language of He being a Prophet, Deliverer, Judge, (Anointed) King, Priest, Son of Yahweh THE Seed: a prophet like unto Moses (but from Judah) Dt 18: 15 • Speak w/ God’s authority • ‘face to face’ w/ God • perform miracles in public before the nations • a lawgiver and mediator, intercessor • a deliverer/rescuer of the people, delivering from bondage ~1450 -1400 BC THE Seed: prophet, priest, king, judge, David’s son/God’s Son, eternal rule: • will judge the ends of the earth • will give strength to His king • will exalt the horn (power) of His anointed. 1 Sam 2: 10 • I will raise up for Myself a faithful (enduring) priest; 1 Sam 2: 27, 35 [Heb 3: 6] • I will build him an enduring house; it will walk before My anointed always. • House of Jesse identified; David anointed • I will be His father, and He will be My son • Son of God & son of David; rule, kingdom, authority will endure forever (2 Sam 7: 9 -16) • David dies; his body “sees corruption” ~ 1050 – 950 BC The Law & Prophets (incl.

950 Obadiah judgment on Edom (world); escape will be in Zion, ‘those days’ Amos – restoration of house of David, latter time. Hosea – Israel scattered; new covenant; restored as “My people” under their king, called David. Joel – outpouring of HS; secure in Zion In latter days Isaiah – nations-ethnos to go up to Yahweh’s mountain; remnant to be redeemed; seed of Yaweh + seed of David combined; Immanuel, virgin birth servant and sacrificial lamb; glory of Zion under the Servant’s rule. Micah – from Bethlehem shall go forth a leader 850 -800 BC 755 - 700 BC 724 Zephaniah – pure language, of the HS Habakkuk – righteous shall live by His faith Jeremiah – details the new covenant Zechariah – redeemed to be the lampstand to bear Messiah’s light to the world; selling of Messiah for 30 pcs. silver; insights into spiritual conflict and victory of the redeemed.

Kingdom (Israel) Rehoboam: S. Kingdom Judah/Benjamin Divided Kingdom The Writing Prophets The Law (S. Kingdom)

Joel ~845 - 830 B. C. – “the day of the Lord” [Acts 2/Pentecost] Joel 2: 28 -32 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh cometh. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Yahweh hath said, and among the remnant those whom Yahweh doth call. • The outpouring of the HS brought forth a rich spiritual harvest (Acts 2), one that continues worldwide until resurrection day. • “prophesy” stands for the whole of teaching; visions/dreams complemented the impartations of gifts and revelation of the New.

8 th c. B. C. Prophets – Amos ~755 BC & Hosea ~725 • Amos – God’s plan to rebuild the ‘house of David’, spiritual restoration as in days of old (one king/one kingdom), and the remnant of the non-Law world (ref Edom) would be part of His possession as Jew/Gentile become one under one king in the days that He would pour out His Spirit. [Zech 6: 9 -15 – He will build the temple (church, dwelling) of the Lord…] • Hosea – like Amos the HS speaks through Hosea of the restorative work of the Messiah; those who are “not My people” shall be made to be “My people” as Gentile/Jew are united in the Messiah as Yahweh plants a spiritual people on the earth through His Messiah. • Psalms reveals personal life of the Messiah; the prophets speak of the restorative work of the Messiah…what His suffering, death, and resurrection (Psalms) will bring => His covenant, kingdom, dominion.

Late 8 th – Early 7 th c. B. C. Prophet – Micah • Mic 2: 12 -13 “…I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold…their king goes on before them, And the LORD [is] at their head. " [Is 10: 22 ff; 11: 10 -11] • Mic 3: 12 Therefore, on account of you, Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, And the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest. [destruction of Jerusalem 586 BC] • Mic 4: 1 And it will come about in the last days that the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say, "Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths. " For from Zion will go forth the law (Acts 2), even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Sovereign, Universal Dominion, All Authority in Heaven/Earth During the 5 th c. BC: God’s signet ring Hag 2: 21 -23 King/Priest over nations Zech 6: 9 -15 Entering King Zech 9: 9 -10 King over all the earth Zech 14: 9 • From Samuel to Zechariah, ~1050 – 550 BC. , every writing prophet either explicitly stated or inferred that the anointed one (messiah) of God would rule spiritually as God’s righteous and just king (exalted one), as a conquering ruler evil, from royal seed (Judah), who would sit on the spiritual throne of David, ruling all nations from sea to sea forever.

Isaiah • Isa 2 …In the last days, The mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains…and all the nations will stream to it. And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD…that He may teach us concerning His ways, And that we may walk in His paths. " For the law will go forth from Zion… the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. • Isa 4 In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious • Isa 5 He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation • Isa 6 – And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand. ‘ • Isa 7: 14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. • Isa 9: 2 The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them. [Mt 4: 15 -17] 740 700

Isaiah Isa 9 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness (divine qualities) from then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. Isa 11 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit. And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. Isa 11 For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Then it will come about in that day the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, who will stand as a signal for the peoples [11: 12]; 740 700

Isaiah 11 – the 2 nd Recovery of a Remnant Isa 11: 11 -16 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain…And He will lift up a standard for the nations, And will assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. • ~140 years before the Babylonian Captivity of the S. Kingdom, and ~210 years before the captured “first” remnant returned to rebuild the temple and Jerusalem (Haggai, Zechariah, Nehemiah), Isaiah foretold the gathering of a remnant a second time “on that day”, when the banished of Israel and dispersed of Judah shall be assembled, and Edom possessed. • Acts 2 (Pentecost, Lord’s people/church established) to today and to the end of time is the 2 nd remnant; Rev 14: 1 – all the saved. On that day … Day of the Lord/Day of Pentecost 2 nd remnant “of His people” 586 BC Babylonians capture S. Kingdom, 520 BC remnant of Jews destroy Jerusalem begin returning to Jerusalem (Haggai) Isaiah 700 600 586 520 400 300 200 100 33 AD

Jeremiah Jer 3: 15 -18 And it shall be in those days …declares the LORD, they shall say no more, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD. ' And it shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they miss it, nor shall it be made again. At that time they shall call Jerusalem 'The Throne of the LORD, ' and all the nations will be gathered to it, to Jerusalem*, for the name of the LORD; nor shall they walk anymore after the stubbornness of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance. • ‘those days’ [new covenant] will be a qualitatively different dispensation and relationship w/ God; the ark will have no role • the high priest and temple will have no role! They can be forgotten, left behind, not remembered or even missed; the Law will pass and shall not be made again! Mt 5: 17 -18 – not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away…until all is accomplished. • *Gal 4: 26 - the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. 627 Habakkuk Ezekiel Daniel 586

Jeremiah Jer 3: 18 …In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance. • vv. 15 -17 CONTEXT: “I will bring you to Zion…it (the ark) shall not come to mind… Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather to it to the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem. ” • The land “I gave to your fathers”, like the promise to Abraham, was to be looked beyond => Heb 11: 8 -10 • Heb 11: 8 -10 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going…dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise…for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. • For us today: Heb 13: 13 -14 Hence, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. 627 Habakkuk Ezekiel Daniel 586

Faith/Obedience: land beyond = city w/foundations = new heavens/new earth Heb 11: 8 -10 By faith…when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance…for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Abraham / Isaac/Jacob 2000 BC The language of Yahweh was always looking forward toward “that day”, “in those days”, “the day of the Lord”; THAT is what was promised. 740 620 BC Isa 66: 22 For just as the new heavens and the new earth which I make will endure before Me, declares the LORD, "So your offspring (seed-Christians) and your name will endure. ” Jer 3: 19 And I will give you a pleasant land, The most beautiful inheritance of the nations! Messianic Dispensation Jer 3: 15 -18 I will bring you to Zion; the ark shall not come to mind; Jerusalem shall be called the throne of God; all nations shall gather IN THOSE DAYS… 33 AD Day of Pentecost: assembly / body or church of Christ

Faith/Obedience: land beyond = city w/foundations = new heavens/new earth Heb 13: 12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Hence, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. 2 Pe 3: 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord to be salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, The Law of Christ; new (kainos) covenant JUDGEMENT DAY Messianic Dispensation Eternity w/ God 2 Peter 3: 10 -12

Jeremiah 31: 29 -34 - Five Characteristics of the New Covenant Jeremiah provides 5 characteristics of this new kind of covenant: 1. It would be a fresh, unique, distinct, superior, new form of ‘betrothal’; [Heb 8: 8 -12; Mt 26: 28; Mk 14: 24; Lk 22: 20; ICor 11: 25; 2 Cor 3: 6; Heb 9: 15]; Heb 12: 4 uses the word “neo” as well, so it would be ‘new’ in sense of time as well as kaino – new KIND, superior quality covenant. 2. It would be distinctively different from anything before; it would include all nations; from Ex 19: 5 -6 to I Pet 2: 9 the chosen race, royal priesthood, holy nation and a people for God’s own possession would be from all mankind, all nations, Gentiles and Jews. 3. It would be written upon the heart, not tablets of stone; Is 54: 13 all shall be taught of Yahweh => Jn 6: 45 "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. ' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 4. All will know the Lord as each individual will be taught BEFORE entering into the covenant relationship (Eph 4: 20 -21) 5. Sins would be forgiven, removed, and forgotten. 630 BC 586 BC

Daniel In Context w/ Ezekiel’s 5 Visions (586 BC …) 1. Everlasting Covenant and Forgiveness (16: 60 -63) 2. The Tender Sprig, Yahweh’s King of His Own Planting (17: 22 -24); Ps 2 3. End of the Physical Kingdom (Davidic/Judah - Zedekiah) until shilloh 4. Messiah as the One, Good (True) Shepherd (34: 23 -31) 5.

Haggai: A New Order is Approaching Hag 2: 6 -9 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. • Shaking of heavens/nations, of all things made, is divine activity; divine interaction w/ the temporal (all things made) as a judgment is made against nations and a new (spiritual) order is set in place. • Heb 12: 26 -29 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. Therefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, hereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe…

Zechariah ~518 - ? BC 1) The rider and horsemen among the myrtle trees (1: 7 -17) • Comfort, assurance, His house would be built 2) The 4 horns and smiths/craftsmen (1: 18 -21) • Yahweh judges nations, instrument & time are His choice 3) The man w/ the measuring line (Ch. 2) • Spiritual Jerusalem; Yahweh will protect [see Gal 4: 26] 4) Trial and acquittal of the high priest Joshua (Ch. 3) • Yahweh will bring forth His servant; iniquity to be removed 5) The golden lampstand two olive trees (Ch. 4) • God determines according to His plan; priest/king to be one 6) The flying roll (5: 1 -4) • Righteousness, law, truth are from God; divine call to be holy

Zechariah ~518 - ? BC 7) The woman in the ephah (5: 5 -11) • Wickedness removed; people of Yahweh to be separate and apart from wickedness. God’s people called out of wickedness; wickedness is to be removed from among God’s people. • Imagery may be interpreted so far as to view 5: 5 -11 as divine removal of wickedness/sin from among God’s people to a spiritual wilderness, where only wickedness resides. 8) The four chariots and horses of various colors (6: 1 -8) • God judges nations in His time and according to His own choosing; His eyes are on His people AND on the disobedient in all nations, and He is working with regard to BOTH.

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious Refining Fire and Yahweh Fighting with/for His people - Zech 14 • Zechariah 14 is a glimpse to Revelation; the conflict between the saints (sanctified) of His kingdom and the forces of Satan. • The residue of the people (remnant) shall NOT be cut off from the city (the church; Gal 4: 26) • That this is a spiritual conflict should be plain from Zech 14: 8 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem. . ” [Acts 2] • These are the waters of Ezek 47: 1 -12 and Jn 7: 37 -39. • Those that fight against God are ‘dead’ while they live (14: 12) “their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. “ This is spiritual death, cut off from life in Christ. • The faithful remnant shall worship God (vv. 16 -17) and “in that day” in the spiritual city [Gal 4: 26] everything shall be holy unto God (vv. 20 -21).

Zech 6: 9 -15 - 5 Messianic Truths in the Symbolic Crowning 5. AND the counsel of peace shall be between them both (both king and high priest as one in the Branch) • peace provided by the Branch for His people (obedient ones) • Is 9: 6 -7; Micah 5: 5; Ps 85: 8 • Peace preached by His apostles – Eph 2: 14, 17; 2 Cor 5: 18; Col 1: 22 • Peace between God and man through the Branch – Rom 5: 9 -11 ff • Word-search “peace” in the Psalms and prophets, then the NT! 1. He shall grow up out of His place: 2. He shall build the temple of Yahweh, even He shall build the temple of Yahweh 3. And He shall bear the glory 4. And He shall be a priest upon His throne 5. And the counsel of peace shall be between them both They that are far off (Gentiles, “Edom”/the world) “build IN the temple” when each hears and obeys (Acts 2); added to the body to build IN…

Questions or Discussion

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 7 Points to be made from Ch. 9 -14 1. Entrance of Yahweh’s Lowly King into Zion (on a donkey); Zech 9: 1 -10 • Zec 9: 9 -11 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey (Mt 21: 1 -11)…and he shall speak peace unto the nations [ethnos][Is 9: 6 -7]: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea [Ps 2: 89], and from the River to the ends of the earth. As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water [salvation to spiritual captives]. • The cutting off of chariot, horse, bow, etc. signified that His kingdom would not be of this world, nor would the warfare of His kingdom be fought with temporal weapons. Eph 6: 10 -18

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 2. Symbolic selling of the Shepherd; Zech 11: 4 -14 • Zech 10 appears to be a review of Israel’s past, a history of their turning away. It may also be a foretelling of what lay ahead between ~400 BC and the Messiah’s coming. Jews fought many battles from 400 BC up to ~63 BC when Rome entered Judea and annexed it by 37 BC. Malachi speaks of the moral decay of the people ~400 years before Christ, offering lame and sick animals for sacrifice; hearts far away, sacrifices being a burden and no ‘reward’ visible for it. • The people’s departure from the prophet’s words (Yahweh’s) elicited a symbolic request for compensation; the insult to Yahweh is that they insult Him w/ the amount due for a gored/damaged slave (Ex 21: 32). Mt 27: 3 -10 records fulfillment of the physical betrayal. • Zec 11: 12 -13 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver. And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah.

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 3. New Jerusalem [church] under Siege - Zech 12: 1 -10 • Ch. 12 -14 open with Yahweh’s word regarding the spiritual Israel, the new “Israel of God” (Gal 6: 16). • “In that day” [nearly always Messianic] occurs 15 x in Ch. 12 -14. • Zec 12: 9 -10 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. [Jn 19: 36 -37] 4. “they shall look unto Me” [Yahweh]… in looking physically upon the Son whom they physically pierced, Yahweh and Christ are here presented as One, God manifested in the flesh [Is 7: 14]. • To deny that Jesus the Son was also God is to deny the prophets and prophecies; explains why Jews in 2 nd-3 rd c. A. D. re-wrote select verses

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 5. Fountain Opened for Sin and Uncleanness - Zech 13: 1 -6 • Zec 13: 1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness. • Reminder: the selling of the shepherd, looking upon Him whom they pierced, opening a fountain for sin, and smiting Yahweh’s Shepherd, three of these verses are quoted in the NT applied to Christ. “In that day” refers to the Messianic period, therefore in that time was all prophecy fulfilled, and truth completely revealed by the HS. • • In this work He was “to finish/put an end to transgression”, “make an end (seal up) to sins”, “make reconciliation for iniquity”, and “seal up the vision and prophecy” (Dan 9: 24); this and the prophecy of Zechariah were fulfilled by and during the Messianic period. Fountain was for cleansing, and the word usage indicates an abundance of forgiveness available for many/all to remove sin (not possible by animal sacrifices). Fountain is public in nature, for many.

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 6. The Smitten Shepherd and Scattered Sheep - Zech 13: 7 -9 • Zec 13: 7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow [neighbor], saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones. • He whom God calls His neighbor or fellow cannot be only a mere mortal man; this is one who shares and participates in His divine nature; this is Yahweh attesting to the fact that the Messiah is of, from Him as the Holy One of the Elohim. • Jesus quoted Zechariah in Mt 26: 31/Mk 14: 27 applying it to His crucifixion. This validates Zech as being the word of God as Immanuel quotes Himself ~ 500 years after Zechariah. When God quotes scripture He is repeating Himself at a later time to reveal its application and meaning. • That His sheep or His people are refined “as through fire” attests to His love for His children, to discipline, build, strengthen, and bring us to our best to offer ourselves to Him.

Zech Ch. 9 -14 Messiah & Kingdom Besieged & Victorious 7. Refining Fire and Yahweh Fighting with/for His people - Zech 14 • Zechariah 14 is a glimpse to Revelation; the conflict between the saints (sanctified) of His kingdom and the forces of Satan. • The residue of the people (remnant) shall NOT be cut off from the city (the church; Gal 4: 26) • That this is a spiritual conflict should be plain from Zech 14: 8 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem. . ” • These are the waters of Ezek 47: 1 -12 and Jn 7: 37 -39. • Those that fight against God are ‘dead’ while they live (14: 12) “their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. “ This is spiritual death, cut off from life in Christ. • The faithful remnant shall worship God (vv. 16 -17) and “in that day” in the spiritual city everything shall be holy unto God (vv. 20 -21).
