Episode 017 - The Bible - The Beginning to the End - The 4 Faces of Christ - Part 2

We learned in the last episode of this podcast, that the Old
Testament is filled with pictures of the coming Messiah. In the
prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Zechariah, they spoke of the
Messiah as coming as the King – the King of Israel. This is what
the nation of Israel had as the portrait of Christ in their
minds.


Secondly, there are Old Testament prophecies which speak of
Messiah as the Servant, as the suffering One. The prophet Isaiah
gives this fore view. Jesus as the coming of One who is to suffer
is also portrayed in the fore view of the story of Joseph in
Genesis.


Thirdly, the Old Testament pictures Christ’s coming as Man. He
was shown to be born of a virgin, grow up in Bethlehem, walk
among men. There are pictures of his childhood, youth and young
manhood.


Finally, the Old Testament has a pictures which speak of him as
God, the Everlasting One.
