Authorities in Israel have known where it is located for a long time, but trying to remove an object of such immense importance from deep under the Temple Mount was always going to be complicated. When the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant is finally announced by the Israeli government, it will be the greatest archaeological bombshell in the history of the world. Taken together, Christ in type, Christ in form and Christ in prophecy, the witness of the Old Testament is all the more powerful.Firearms and Ammunition on sale now: $150 off $1,000+ (use code: APRIL150) In Part III we review prophecy of the coming Messiah. Reviewed here are the Old Testament appearances of the pre-incarnate Christ. These occurrences are most often referred to as the appearance of The Angel of the Lord. In Part II we see Christ in form or Christophany. Here we want to treat a sampling of those scriptures. They include a rich portrait of Old Testament patterns, types and allusions which point to the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. These begin to be recognized by those who enjoy reading God’s Word. Themes are repeated and developed in Scripture. In archetype is displayed the amazing divine oversight of the God of the Bible. We are able to look at what at first appears to be random direction from God for separation, cleansing, worship and celebration, and see with marvelous clarity in type, the coming Christ. We must realize that the Christian worldview has amazing internal unity and consistency thanks to the model presented in the law and ritual as designed by the Great Painter/Creator God. In Part I we will see the extent to which God has gone in order to give us a “picture” of Jesus Christ from the beginning. For He who promised is faithful” (Heb 10:19-23). Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament foundation, preparation and expectation, and He is the reason that we can “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering. Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life and these are they which testify of Me (John 5:39). Jesus began with Moses and all the prophets as He taught the disciples on the road to Emmaus and expounded through all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke 24:27). By convenience the total period was cut out in four periods link to the Patriarchs (2038-1493), the Judges (1493-1097), the Kings (1097-517) and the Second Temple (517 BCE to 133 CE). Biblical chronology from Abraham (2038-1863) can be reconstituted starting from the Masoretic data, which are more reliable than those from the Septuagint for this period 2038-517. The biblical and Sumerian accounts of the Deluge are very similar (which occurred in year 600 of Noah or Ziusudra) and suppose a dating 3170 BCE according to the Septuagint. There was no dispute since the priests (Sadducees) no longer existed, as well as scrolls of the temple (except some of them which has been retrieved by Josephus thanks to emperor Titus in 70 CE). 90 CE), durations in Genesis 11:10-26 were also reduced by 100 years and were canonized by the rabbis (Pharisees). 160) durations in Genesis 5:3-31 were reduced by 100 years and were adopted by a part of the Jews, as Eupolemus and by the Samaritans, and afterward, at the Synod of Yabneh (c. According to the reconstruction of chronological data, Jewish corrections of the Hebrew text (preserved in the LXX) were performed in two steps: after the onset of the Book of Jubilees (c. Textual criticism now favours an anteriority of the Septuagint text Vorlage (H*) on the proto-Masoretic which comes from an overhaul of this Vorlage, including chronological data from the text of Genesis. The accuracy of the transmission of the text can be checked owing to the accuracy of its chronology and through the comparison between the sum of the intermediate values and the total value indicated in the text. This kind of study showed that the most stable texts surveyed are those containing ritual instructions, which have led, for example, to the exact transmission of the Torah in the late Second Temple period. Thus, ancient texts, that are preserved in more than one copy, have been compared to determine how much variation occurs between manuscripts. The transmission of many historical and chronological data (reigns, lifetimes, long periods, etc.) as well as many proper names, is necessarily flawed, unless one believing in an (unlikely) scribes infallibility.
