    Jesus’ reference to the Prophets of Kings

    This week we have been talking about Jesus of Nazareth and other Prophets of the Old Testament mentioned by Jesus. We continue by asking why Nazarites rejected their local Messiah who had worked miracles like these Old Testament Prophets. What do you know about the two Prophets of the first book of Kings Jesus mentions?

    Read the conclusion of this 2-part post from 2014 to learn more.

    Scriptures

    No Prophet is welcome in his hometown – 1

    Last time in Nazareth of Jesus – Rejected by your hometown (from a 2017 post) we mentioned a few prophets from the Old Testament. These men of God would have been familiar names in the hometown of Jesus Christ, but we are a little less familiar with many of these other prophets in this year of our Lord 2021.

    Other Prophets before Jesus

    The Lord reads from the scroll of Isaiah and tells Nazarenes of other Prophets they know well, like Elijah and Elisha.

    I have written from the Old Testament Prophets many times before. Amos, in a recent series and from the Lamentations of Jerimiah provide connection to our contemporary challenges of ‘Christian’ life. We have also just read of Jesus’ testimony of ‘the sign of Jonah’ and those to who the LORD sent John in Nineveh [well to the east of this map].

    In two posts we will summarize these Old Testament Prophets with a little more context.

    Scriptures

    Luke 4

    MATTHEW 4

    From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

    Gospel of Matthew 4:17 NASB

    And then He said to them, “You foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

    Scriptures:

    Luke 23 & 24:

    Revelation of Jesus Christ to John 2-3

    from the Prophets:

    • Isaiah 3
    • Jeremiah 2
    • Hosea 4

    Psalm 49

    But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me…
