  • April 30 - Ezekiel

    April 30 - Ezekiel
    2026/04/30
    Pastor begins class by introducing us to Ezekiel: -- Priestly family -- He was exiled in 597 BC (2 Kings 24:12-14) approx age 26 -- Called as prophet at age of 30 -- His name means " God strengthens" He was warned that the people would not want to hear what he shares with them. And God tells him that he is a watchman. God uses "son of man" to refer to Ezekiel. -- The book is characterized by prophetic actions and symbols. God uses memorable actions, visible things, to make power spiritual declarations and to make powerful profound truth to be made clear. Ezekiel often gives an action to the words God gives him. And God uses those actions to make a point. -- Prose rather than poetry - he speaks very direct. He speaks graphically and sometimes his words are very shocking. -- "Then they will know that I am the LORD" this phrase occurs over and over (65 times) in the Book of Ezekiel. The time before, during and after Ezekiel's life was a time of international upheaval and turmoil with empires battling for power. There were 3 empires vying for power: Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia. Around 605 BC Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were taken captive by the Babylonians. About seven years later, in 597 BC, Ezekiel is taken captive by the Babylonians. It's fascinating to think of them being contemporaries. All deeply devoted to the Living God. Outline of Ezekiel -- Prophetic Judgment against Israel - Ezekiel 1-24 (God's judgement always begins with the household of God) -- Prophetic Judgment against the nations - Ezekiel 25-32 (God holds nations accountable - when a nation turns away from God it brings judgment on itself.) -- Prophetic Hope for Israel and the Nations - Ezekiel 33-48 (God's purpose in judgment is to turn us back to Him. Our Hope is found in God's plan for salvation and the promise of His Son, Jesus. Jesus comes first to the people of Israel and then says to make disciples of all nations.) Starting in chapter one we see a glimpse into a vision Ezekiel experiences that brings Ezekiel to fall face down as He realizes the power and majesty and glory of God. He hears God speaking to him and God sends him to the Israelites and tells him that he must speak the words He gives him whether the people want to listen or not and that He would be with Ezekiel. God makes Ezekiel a watchman of the nation. God's desire to bring them back to Himself through repentance is evident. God has Ezekiel do many actions - illustrations - of what He wants the people to know and understand. One example is God telling Ezekiel to have a specific way of lying in bed. Pastor shares amazing speculation and a possible explanation of the 390 + 40  = 430. Pastor's speculation ends with a date in May of 1948 and the quote, "Can a nation be born in one day?" Pastor shares several other examples of actions / illustrations that Ezekiel was told by God to do. In chapter 9 we hear that judgment is coming but Ezekiel sees, in a vision, a man putting a protecting mark (a tav) on the foreheads of those found faithful to God. Pastor show us what the tav looks like in Modern Hebrew in comparison to what the tav looked like in Paleo Hebrew in Ezekiel's day. I'll just say, "Oh, my!" And I hope that if the 430 didn't convince you to take a listen to Pastor's teaching on Ezekiel, I hope that this leaves you wondering enough to listen. (BTW the word "coincidence" is not in the Bible). The Dead See scrolls also carry this letter of the Paleo alphabet, the tav, on the Messianic prophecies. The goodness, grace and mercy of God are evident! God is incredible! Pastor overviews several other chapters: 10, 16, 18, 23, 24, 33, 34, 37, 38, 40-48 with themes of: -- Judgment -- Hope -- Idolatry is adultery against God -- God pleads for His people to turn back to Him -- Ezekiel's wife dies when he is around 37 -- Ezekiel's call is reaffirmed -- God will be the people's Shepherd - a prophetic word. (See John 10) -- Dry bones coming to life -- The spiritual battle between God and evil -- The New Temple -- New Jerusalem and it will be named "God is there" Join us next week for the study of Hosea and Joel.

  • April 23 - Jeremiah

    April 23 - Jeremiah
    2026/04/23
    This class takes us on a study of a fascinating book and an amazing man. Jeremiah's life as a prophet was an incredibly difficult one. He suffered much for his commitment to God. God raised him up at the most difficult time in Judah's history. The Book of Jeremiah -- Longest book of the Bible (in number of words - not chapters) -- Jeremiah's painful life story - there are difficult days coming to Judah and Jeremiah suffers the cost of following God. God told him to not get married or have children because what is coming is devastating. Jeremiah was beaten, imprisoned, threaten with death, put in a cistern, conspired against, accused of treason, attacked by his own family and more. -- 40+ year ministry - Long ministry that took him through ongoing difficulty. -- Tradition regarding the death of Jeremiah - not mentioned in the Bible - but ancient Jewish tradition says he died in the desert of being stoned. -- Baruch the scribe - Jeremiah's trusted scribe that put his book together. -- Bulla! - a ring for sealing with wax was discovered in an archeological dig in ancient script saying "Baruch son of Norah, the scribe." This reminds us that these are real people and these events really did take place. -- Two versions (Hebrew and LXX) - Pastor talks about several versions of the book of Jeremiah, that there are some differences and gives an idea why there are these different versions based on Baruch's desire to preserve Jeremiah's story and teachings and words from God. Chapter 1 - Jeremiah's Call to be a Prophet Chapters 2-24 - Jeremiah's Faithfulness ongoing account of Jeremiah's faithfulness to follow God Chapters 25-35 - the Opposition Jeremiah Faces from government people, leaders, priests, religious leaders work to put him in prison, accuse him of treason and work to get rid of him. Chapters 36-45 - Judah's collapse - gives a vivid description of the nation falling apart and collapsing. The challenging part of reading this book is that it is not written in chronological order. Pastor takes us through it in chronological order. (The chronological order of the book is available at our website at https://www.awakeusnow.com/bible-in-a-year and then under Week 17 "The Chronological Order of the Book of Jeremiah." The Call of Jeremiah - God tells Jeremiah to do all He commands him. The Lord promises to be with him and protect him. He was given clear instruction from God and commanded to build and to plant. Jeremiah's message - was a message that shows the heart of God - speaking of the peoples' rejection of God, a nation that has only a veneer of religion without heart-felt faith, in reality they live for themselves and not God. A truth for the state of Christianity today. Jeremiah and King Josiah - teamed together to bring repentance and revival to Judah. When Jehoiakim comes to the throne in 605 BC, Babylon begins to emerge as the great world power. Jeremiah brings tough words to Jehoiakim tells the king and the people the consequences for turning away from God. God shows His desire to re-make His people, like a potter shaping the clay. He has Jeremiah tell them if they repent the Lord will relent - God's heart of desiring they come back to Him, but the people rebel against the words and want Jeremiah killed. Jeremiah knows the pain of living in a day when God's people have turned away from Him. Yet he retains the "fire in the belly" to continue to speak what God reveals and tells him. Jeremiah shares several honest laments with God - and God again promises to rescue and save him, that He will be with Him. Jeremiah will go through hard times but God will always be with him. When we go through hard times, we too can be assured that God is always with us. God has Jeremiah share the message that unless they turn back there will be judgment and it will last 70 years and that they would be overtaken by the Babylonians . (These prophetic words did take place) Jehoiakim burns the first writing of Jeremiah. Then Zedekiah comes to the throne and he knew that Jeremiah spoke the truth but he did not have the faith to be faithful. Zedekiah is captured, tortured and put in chains by the Babylonians.The Babylonians conquer Judah, the is city defeated and the Temple destroyed. Pastor closes with Jeremiah 31:31-34, a promise from God, one of hope. God promises a new covenant of forgiveness - the promise of Jesus. And God keeps His promises!

  • April 16 - Isaiah

    April 16 - Isaiah
    2026/04/16

    Isaiah is a person that we do not know a whole lot about, but what we do know is amazing. He was married, and married to a prophet. He is the great evangelist of the Old Testament. He foretold the coming of Jesus.

    The book of Isaiah is a controversial book because people have a hard time believing Isaiah could have foretold all he did with such accuracy. BUT if God is God then He can predict the future, because He knows the future. And if God does reveal Himself to His prophets, then He can tell them the future.

    Many instead propose there were several Isaiah's. Countering the idea of many Isaiah's:
    -- Questions re unity: Is 1-30, 40-55, 56-66
    -- Bottom line: Predictive Prophecy
    -- New Testament witness
    -- Similarities more significant than differences
    -- Dead Sea Scrolls

    Pastor shares a timeline of Jerusalem's Fall 931 - 586 BC, and places Isaiah in a 60 years time period of 740 - 681 BC. King Hezekiah did listen to Isaiah, but many did not want to hear what Isaiah had to say even though he was a man of integrity.

    Isaiah predicted incredible things hundreds of years before they happened. Plus, he brings word of judgment to the people but also gives them words of hope. We will see this as we explore the beginning chapters together.

    Judgement and Hope
    -- Broken Covenant - 1:3
    -- Future Hope - 2:1-4
    -- Vineyard - 5:1-7 (also 5:20) Jesus uses the vineyard picture in his teachings too.
    -- Commission - 6:1-10 After an encounter with the Holiness of God, Isaiah responds, "Here am I, send me!"
    -- Immanuel - 7:14 (note context) Isaiah tells that there is One coming to bring redemption to all people. Immanuel, God with us.
    -- Fulfillment - 9:1-7 ("prophetic perfect"); 11:1-10 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned…Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace…." Isaiah spoke this 700 years before Christ came, but it is a prophecy that is so certain that it is spoken in the past tense (have seen, as if it has already happened). This style of prophecy is called the prophetic perfect. It is certain, "they have seen" even though they have not yet seen.

    Chapters 13-23 we see Isaiah giving prophetic words about the nations around Judah. Many already fulfilled, some with his life time, others after and others still to be fulfilled.

    In chapters 24-29 Isaiah gives prophetic word about Jerusalem and Judah, the siege of Jerusalem by Assyria and then we come to chapters of comfort and fulfillment.

    Comfort and Fulfillment
    -- Comfort, comfort - 40:1-8, 29-31
    -- My Servant - 42:1-4 (Matthew 12:15-21) God's Servant will come to do the Lord's work, mercy, grace, God with us, and brings justice
    -- No Fear! - 43:1-3, 11
    -- Every knee will bow! - 45:22-23
    -- Suffering Servant - 52:13-53:12 These verses are all about Jesus, His suffering, death and resurrection. And that He comes for ALL. (The verses in Isaiah 53 have not been read in the synagogues for centuries.) In a snippet from Isaiah 53 - we can clearly see this is describing Jesus. Isaiah 53:4-6 "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
    -- Good News! - 61:1-2 (see Luke 4:14-21). Isaiah 61:1-2

    Isaiah ends with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. That is what lies ahead!!
