The inhabitants of the wicked cities may think themselves unassailable, but God is all-powerful and unstoppable and easily accomplishes His will.

God's people will enjoy perfect peace, absolute security, and the close presence of God "our everlasting rock." The qualifiers are that those who would enter the City of God must be righteous and faithful, steadfast of mind and trusting wholly in the Lord. We note that there are a number of things we sometimes may trust in during this life (some perhaps seemingly innocent, some not), but ultimately we must substitute nothing for Christ, but "trust in Yahweh forever."

41 weeks ago32:06

32:06

Isaiah 1:7-10 We begin this session with a brief discussion on four types of prophecy: prolepsis, futurism, the telescoping technique, and the issue of multiple fulfillments. The LORD God gives a four-fold description of the devastating judgment coming on Israel, the north kingdom. There is also a warning to Judah, the south kingdom, about their frail spiritual condition; better then Israel, but not good at all. Verses nine and ten have references to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and their similarity to the Jewish nations.

Isaiah 1:1-6 The LORD God begins to warn the Jewish people, the north kingdom of Israel in particular, about coming judgment. The description of Israel acknowledges the depth of their rebellion against God as well as numerous specific sins of a very dark nature. Isaiah compares Israel to a desperately sick human body. We look at the prophetic technique known as prolepsis; a very important style that Isaiah uses often.

Isaiah | Lesson 1: Historical Context of the Book of Isaiah 32:42

43 weeks ago32:42

32:42

Isaiah 1:1 We begin our study in selected chapters of Isaiah by looking at historical events in the Old Testament, starting at creation. How and when did the kingdom of Israel split into two nations? Why were kings reigning in both Jewish nations when that was not God’s intention for their government? What was the spiritual condition of both Judah and Israel when Isaiah began his ministry as a prophet? The answers to these questions put the book in historical context and help to explain the nature of Isaiah’s preaching.

37:50

We end our study in Colossians with this session. Paul gives specific “how-to” instruction about our prayers lives: be devoted, be alert, be thankful, be interceding. Paul asks for intercessory prayer for himself and his missionary work. This is a strong encouragement for us to pray for missionaries! Then Paul exhorts all believers to take advantage of all opportunities for the gospel, “conducting yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity,.” A fitting close for the instruction of this tremendous epistle!

Paul includes a very strong warning statement at the end of chapter three about God’s judgment on those who do evil. For those outside of Jesus Christ the judgment is unavoidable, impartial, and consequential. Paul then goes on in chapter four to give the final “role” instruction. His teaching to “masters” (and all who are in similar authority positions) actually revolves around the Golden Rule. In verse two we begin to look at look four important points about prayer.

Paul moves on to instruction regarding the master-slave relationship. Even in this difficult reality Paul teaches on what the godly response is to be. We also note the application here to the employer-employee relationship. Additionally, Paul addresses the matter of, “whatever you do…” We look at five points related to that all-encompassing statement and the “reward of the inheritance” for serving God faithfully.

Paul continues his instruction in the matter of the biblically-defined family. Children are to be obedient to parents. We note that the Scripture does not take this matter flippantly or lightly at all. Parents, perhaps especially fathers here, are to train their children up ultimately, first and foremost, to be disciples of Jesus. We look at some very practical matters in this process.

Paul begins his teaching on relationships, starting with the family. In this session we focus on the husband-wife relationship, that is, submission and headship. Paul notes that these roles are ordained by God. We recognize that the marriage roles are rooted in the unchangeable historical facts of creation. Like and follow us on...

Colossians 3:13-15 Paul mentions three essential relational components that must be practiced between Christians. First is the matter of forgiveness. We look at four crucial promises implied when we forgive someone. Second, Paul addresses the putting on love. This is agape love, the true biblical ideal. It is very important to understand this type of love. It should define us. Third, Paul tells us that the peace of Christ should rule between believers, the very thing to which we were called.

Colossians 3:12 Paul begins to sum up what the “renewal” and the putting on of the new self mean. He begins with three words that are foundational to the Christian faith: chosen, holy, and beloved. He then lists five matters of godly character that Christians are to strive for, to “put on.” We look at these five qualities in detail. Like and follow us on...

Colossians 3:10-11 We look at the practical side of how we are able to be renewed, per Paul’s instruction. The renewal and what Paul calls “the true knowledge” is about making us like Christ, who created the new self in us. We consider the many means, some very difficult, that the Lord may use for this purpose. Paul uses four contrasting comparisons in verse eleven to make it clear that God’s desire is for all to be saved. Like and follow us on...

Colossians 3:8-10 Paul exhorts believers to put aside five more sin categories in verse eight. These five are linked together and have much to do with attitude and the tongue. They are extremely damaging to other people. He also addresses the problem of lying between believers. Paul again exhorts Christians in the matter of laying aside the old self, which no longer need have dominion, and putting on the new self, which will effectively keep the old self from having dominion.

Paul specifically names five sins in verse five, of which at least four address the matter of sexual sin. The fifth, greed, he relates to idolatry. The seriousness of these iniquities is clear as Paul says that they bring the wrath of God on humanity. They are to have no place in a Christian’s life. We look at the question of what God’s wrath is. Like and follow us on... Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/exegetepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/exegetepodcast…

Paul instructs us that our practice must parallel our position in Christ. He begins here, and continues throughout chapter three, to give the moral and ethical demands of the Christian life. His radical approach to dealing with sin in our lives includes what Paul terms “putting to death” the flesh in order to live holy lives.

Paul begins to give practical instruction on godliness, emphasizing the seeking of heavenly things. He especially addresses the issue of setting our minds on right things, not on empty earthly matters. The reason for this practice is that, as believers, we have “died” to this world and we are now “hidden with Christ in God.” Like and follow us on...

30:49

Paul speaks to the third of three deadly doctrines, that of asceticism, or extreme unbiblical self-denial, a type of legalism. Paul says that this asceticism is strictly the teaching of men, but it can actually appear to be wise and holy. Christ’s death and resurrection and the grace of God has set us free from the supposed need to appease God with unbiblical self-denial even to the point of self-injury. Plus, these practices are of no value against fleshly indulgence. Like and follow us on... Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/exegetepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/exegetepodcast…
