Review The Promised Messiah must be:

                        Human  seed of the woman

                        Hebrew seed of Abraham

                        Isaac’s   seed, not Ishmael

                        Jacob’s  seed, not Esau, of Israel – only one nation                                                            

                        Judah’s seed, therefore a Jew  -  only one tribe

                        David’s seed, therefore  -  only one family

 

I  The Messiah must be a Prophet

                        Deuteronomy 18:15,18  Like Moses, not of Moses cf Exodus 2:1

                        2 Chronicles 36:15,16  prophets were despised, a  type of Christ

                        Acts 7:52  what prophet was not persecuted?

                        John 6:14  some were looking for a prophet

                        John 7:40-46  interpretation of prophecy caused division

                        It was to Moses, the prophet, this promise was given.

 

II  The Messiah must be a Priest

                        1 Samuel 2:35  it was to Eli, the priest, this promise was given

                        Hebrews 6:20  Jesus is a Priest

                        Hebrews 7:11-17 and verses 23-25

                        Hebrews 8:1   we have such an high priest

                        Hebrews 9:11-12  He has obtained eternal redemption for us

 

III  The Messiah must be a King of the seed of David

                        2 Samuel 7:12-13  house, throne and kingdom

                        Matthew 1:1 Jesus-  the son of David

                        Luke 1:32  the throne of his father David

                        Acts 2:30  Christ to sit on David’s throne

                        Romans 1:3 made of the seed of David

                        To David, a King, this promise was given

 

IV  Order of the Predictions is the order of  Fulfillment

                        Prophet – Reveals

John 4:25  tell us all things

                                                John 7: 40, 46  heard  him speak

                        Priest  -     Redeems  

                                                Luke 2:25-38  Look for Redemption

                        King  -       Reigns

                                                John 1:49  thou art the King

 

Perhaps the connection of Jesus Christ with David and David’s throne, is one of the most important themes of Old Testament Scripture relative to the interpretation of Bible prophecy.
