Abraham
Exodus David
Exile Christ
By this time Israel is split in 2: Israel to North destroyed
by Assyrians & Judah in the South would be taken over by Babylon.
5 books: Torah (law or teaching), History, Wisdom writings
& Prophets
Examples: Geneses, Kings, Psalms, Jonah
Zephaniah-
Theme’s: Israel’s idolatry & injustice; the more
idolatry the more unjust (cycle).
Nearing the end of the Southern Kingdom (Judah)
Topic: God’s Justice & Mercy
@@@
Expectations: A king like David will come to lead a
repentant people (a remnant) into a new relationship with God. Almost all the
prophets ended in Future Hope
Haggai -
Topic: Humility & Action
Reminder Jesus in Hebrews is Joshua so the same way Joshua
lead the Jews into the Promised Land (not Moses) Joshua now leads a remnant of
God’s people back to reestablish Jerusalem after Exile & will another like
Joshua, be their Messiah?
@@@
2 Hanging questions – Who will be the Messianic King? &
What will the Messianic Kingdom be like?
Zachary –
Topic: God’s future kingdom & our current faithfulness
Jesus enters Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (before crucifixion) riding
on a Donkey. Shepherd & Pastor are the same word so the Messiah will lead
his people like a Shepherd does his sheep.
More than 1 prophet ends their book with a picture of a New
Jerusalem (sometimes called Zion) from which a river of life & renewal flow
to heal the land & the people.
Paralleled finally in Rev 22 – River of life.
@@@
Malachi -
Post exile
God is still looking for a perfectly obedient people &
even after God’s judgment of the Exile the Jews aren’t obedient.
Final Topic: remember my law/teachings I will send a prophet
/ messiah / king before the Day of Judgment to heal God’s people & turn
them back to Him.
