    Jacob I Have Loved, Esau I Have Hated: The Malachi series, part 2 (1:2-5)

    One of the most puzzling verses in the whole Bible is Malachi 1:3, where God says “Jacob I have loved;But Esau I have hated” Wait, who did I say said that? Oh, God said it. If that doesn’t make you do a double-take when you’re reading your Bible, I’m not sure what will. The same God who will be telling us later to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us just a few pages from here—the same God who tells us to feed and clothe our enemies—the same God who gave us the story of the Good Samaritan—is declaring His hatred for Esau right here. Who…had his problems…but really wasn’t such a bad guy IMO. Some Christians swallow this without a second thought. “Well if God hated Esau, then Esau must have deserved it.” They’ll go through a litany of Esau’s sins and conclude that Esau must have had it coming.  But I’ll be honest: I struggle with it. I’m fine with a lot of strange things in Scripture. I’m fine with 10-foot-tall giants. I’m fine with talking donkeys. I’m fine with demons being cast into pigs. I don’t really question the reality of those things; I’m fine with a lot of weird stuff in the Bible. But this…this is one that I have a problem with.  Why would God utter the words that He hated Esau? You’ll find out today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    Why Malachi Wrote His Book: The Malachi series, part 1 (1:1)

    A new book! Malachi.  The final book of the Old Testament.  Four chapters.  56 verses. And over the next few months, we’ll be looking at every single one of them.  And anytime you launch into a new book of the Bible, you want to establish a couple of things.  (1) who the author is, and (2) why he wrote it.  If you don’t know who he is and why he wrote it, you’re gonna misunderstand a lot of the book. And we want to grasp everything that Malachi has to say, because this is the next book we’ll journey through on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    Jesus in the Book of Zechariah: The Zechariah series, part 25 (14:16-21)

    Zechariah is maybe the most Jesus-focused book in the whole Old Testament. There were times while we were studying this book that I even forgot it was Old Testament. That’s how future-focused it is.  And today, we’re gonna wrap it all up. So my plan for today is to recap what we’ve studied in this book, with a particular emphasis on Jesus. Let’s highlight all the places that spoke about Jesus’ first AND second comings. I’d like to share what some of my favorite episodes were here.  And after that, we’ll take a look at the last six verses of chapter 14.  And then: we’ll talk about which book we could study next—and give you a chance to weigh in on whether you’d even like to the podcast to continue at all.  That’s what we’ll do today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    The Second Coming of Christ in Slow Motion: The Zechariah series, part 24 (14:1-15)

    You’re probably familiar with this story from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry:  Luke 4:16-20 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,     because he has anointed me     to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives     and recovering of sight to the blind,     to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” And then it says this 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.  Very familiar story for a lot of us who have read the gospels. Made a lot of people unhappy, but it was a very positive message: the first time Jesus came, as you know, His purpose was to set people free. Free from the devil, free from their sicknesses, free from their sin. But did you know he didn’t finish His sentence? He pulled open the book of Isaiah, started reading at chapter 61, and He stopped at a comma. Let’s go look at the original words.  Isaiah 61, starting at verse 1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,     because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;     he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,     and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, And that’s where Jesus stopped reading, but here’s what came next in the original passage:     and the day of vengeance of our God That was the part He left out. And why? Because that wasn’t His mission in His first coming. The Day of Vengeance of Our God would be reserved for His Second Coming.  And that’s what I want to talk about today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    Another Holocaust: The Zechariah series, part 23 (13:1-9)

    Last week, we covered what needs to happen before Jesus returns. The Jewish people must look on Him whom they pierced and mourn.  Once you understand that, you understand this demonic hatred of the Jewish people. Now you understand the spirit behind antisemitism. Now you understand why there was a holocaust.  But I have some really unpleasant news to share today from Bible prophecy: Zechariah 13 tells us there will be another. Another holocaust.  And … it will be twice as bad as the first one.  We will learn about that today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    Him Whom They Pierced: The Zechariah series, part 22 (12:10-14)

    The first verse of the Bible, we all know it:  (Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  It’s 10 words in the English, 7 words in the Hebrew.  BUT- did you know that there’s an extra word in the Hebrew version of that verse which is not present in any English translation of Genesis 1:1? And that’s because it’s not a word. It says “in the beginning God” And then there’s a word that’s not really a word “Created the heavens and the earth” And this word which is not a word only shows up in two chapters of the Bible. Genesis chapter 1 and Zechariah chapter 12. So…what is the word that’s not a word?  You’ll find out today on the God and His Prophets podcast.

    Patterns of Prophecy: The Zechariah series, part 21 (12:1-9)

    The Bible is not just a book about things that happened a long time ago. It’s a book about things that still happen today. Human nature. Spiritual realities. A God who never changes.  The Bible is alive, and if you just read it as being stories about events that happened a long time ago, you’ll miss the relevance it has to your life. The Bible is a book about things that always happen. And prophecy is like that as well. Prophecy is not just about events that are going to happen someday in the future. Prophecy is about things that happen now, because the Bible is a book about things that always happen.  You’ll find out what that means today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
