There are over 300 of the Lord`s titles, names, offices, vocations & functions, which go to make up the written word under the old covenant. If these truths were deleted from the Scriptures, we would have but a lifeless, meaningless framework. In the wide range covered by the use of so many...

FORETELLING OF CHRIST In the Prophetic section (Isa. - Mal. 17 Books) Christ is proclaimed. We are told of His names, titles, ministry, & of His sacrificial death, resurrection, & elevation to the right hand of God. Names – Maker, husband. `For your maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts...

FOREKNOWING CHRIST The Philosophic section, (Job - Song of Sol) deals with Hebrew wisdom. Here we see there is a knowledge of Christ beforehand. Christ is foreknown in redemption, mediation & salvation. He is known to be the Saviour, the Shepherd, & the Sovereign Lord. Job declares, `For I...

FORESEEING CHRIST In the historical books (Joshua - Esther, 12 books) Christ is foreseen in different appearings - man like or angelic. These signify the dominion of Christ, His authority & administration. Joshua saw a `man` - Prince of the host of the Lord. (Josh.5: 13 - 15) Gideon saw...

Now other examples of symbols, types & shadows of the Lord in the first 5 books are - Shiloh, the sent one – an epithet of Christ. (implying a quality) peace. (Gen. 49: 10. the smitten rock – (Num. 20: 11 & 1 Cor. 10: 4) the serpent uplifted – (Num. 21: 8 & John 3: 14) the sustaining manna –...

Hi StanJ, Thank you for your contribution, however I see the king, Melchizedek as a type of the Lord. I do not want to derail this topic so if you would like more discussion we can start a specific thread on Melchizedek. Marilyn.

Hi Wormwood, Yes Jesus is `all over the pages of scripture` as you said, however there is a progression, as we will see as the sections unfold. Thank you for saying you will `just wait until` I finish writing - a true gentleman. I also read you `Revelation,` thread, & thank you for posting it...

Hi Phoneman777, Glad to see you are still here. Yes there is other support, however it involves the `eternal purposes of God,` & is a big subject. I will eventually get to it but have other topics I think are needed at the moment. So perhaps later in the year. It is a topic very close to my...

Hi StanJ, So glad you agree also. Now any contributions.......? Marilyn.

Hi Wormwood, Glad you found us. Now if you can wait till we get to the book of Revelation in relation to Christ being the centre, then that would help. We still have the OT to work through in sections. Sometimes we can get `lost` in the details & not see what aspect of Christ is being brought...

Hi Wormwood, That`s fine bro, we all have other duties to do, take your time. Now I have started the topic - `Christ the centre of the Bible,` in this eschatological section & hope to see your there. Blessings, Marilyn.

FORESHADOWING CHRIST In the Mosaic section, (Gen. - Deut.) Christ is foreshadowed in a variety of ways - symbols, signs, sacrifices all help us to understand His character, functions & vocations. Genesis - The Seed promised. `And I will put enmity between you & the woman, &...

CHRIST THE CENTRE OF THE BIBLE. To have a correct view of God`s word, I believe, brings clarity to the study of the Eschatology & the Prophetic aspects. Now when we read God`s word we often focus on what it meant to those when it was written, & what life lesson it can give us. While these...

Hi Wormwood, I agree with a lot of what you say. However for you to understand what I mean concerning Christ as centre of the Bible I think I may have to start a new thread. Hope to see you there for encouragement & input. Blessings, Marilyn.

Hi Phoneman777, I think that was the last discussion we had so will pick up from there. You asked about any other basis.... 1. King Artaxeres - `And it came about in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of king Artaxeres....` (Neh. 2: 1) 2. Palm Sunday - ` Then, six days before the...

Hi Wormwood, Thank you for being patient for my reply. Now this is what I believe & said – `I don`t think you quite understand when I say `Christ is the centre of God`s word.` I don`t just mean it is telling of His manifestation or a letter to early Christians, those are still in the historic...

Thank you Phoneman777, Appreciate your prayers. I am getting better & will post soon. All the best, Marilyn. And Wormwood, Sorry haven`t answered sooner but will hopefully tomorrow. Blessings, Marilyn.

I am not well at the moment but will get back when I can. Marilyn.

Hi StanJ, That would make a good discussion, but I wont derail this thread. When I have time I will follow that thought up bro, on its own thread. Marilyn.

Hi Administrator, What a wonderful topic. My view of heaven is as you say `sitting & learning at Jesus` feet.` Then I also see functioning as His Body, community of people taking part in what God has planned in His ever unfolding creativity in the ages upon ages that will come. Utterly awesome...
