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
