The History of Redemption in Scripture (Page 3)

The Old Testament Is Completed

Malachi 4 We consider the closing chapter in the Old Testament Scriptures, and meditate on the fact that God was closing this period by indicating that direct revelation from Him would now cease (as it did for 400 years)…

The God of Deliverance

Esther 4:14 Continuing our series on the History of Redemption in Scripture, we consider God’s Providence. Scripture tells us that God is sovereign – that He has planned everything from beginning to end.

Spiritual Bread

Acts 15:21 Resuming our series in the History of Redemption in Scripture, we see the link between personal and corporate revival on the one hand and the regular reading and application of Scripture on the other.

Revival and Revelation

Ezra 10 We see another way the Lord advanced His work: through revival and revelation. The Lord worked through Ezra to further establish the Scriptural foundation that would secure the church for ages to come.

The Return

Ezra 1 We consider the next large step forward in the history of redemption: the overthrow of Babylon and the return of God’s people to the land of promise.

Countdown to Redemption

Daniel 9:24-27 We consider the appearance of a fourth person in the fiery furnace in Daniel 3, and the prophecy of the 70 weeks in Daniel 9 as God reveals more of His plan of redemption in anticipation of the coming of Messiah.

The Testimony of Jesus

1 Peter 1:10-12 We see how the Lord raised up prophets from the time of Uzziah onward to preach His Gospel to His people.

There Is None But You to Help

2 Chronicles 14:11 We consider how the Lord preserved the tribe of Judah at the time of king Asa, since this was the tribe through which the Messiah would come.

God Preserves the True Religion

2 Chronicles 34 We consider what the Lord did to put the brakes on the spiritual descent of the Israelites, how He planned to raise them up again, and how these things can be useful for us today for the same purpose.

Progress through Declension

John 3:30 Towards the end of his life, Solomon began to compromise: he began worshiping false gods because he had married so many foreign wives. In doing this, he sowed the seeds of division in his kingdom and the eventual exile of Judah to Babylon.
