Sermon Scripture
Now while the people
Matthew 3:4-
were in a state of expectation and all wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ
but as were in expectation ~ the people (a crowd- assembled together - large group yet distinct), and were reasoning
expectation - to watch toward
wondering - to reason or cast in mind or?to debate?
heart - that of mens entire mental or moral activity
the Christ - Messiah - the great High Priest
John said to them all,
“All” all does not always mean all.
It means all in relation to who it is speaking of.
This all is speaking of the gathered crowd.
Meaning as verse 15 states the assembled people are those in a state of expectation & reasoning (casting of the mind) that John is the promised Messiah.
This is who John is speaking to in verse 16.
If you go down to verse 21 then this “all” is used again.
This time the crowd is not mentioned
If you go out to verse 7 you find more information about this crowd.
going out to be baptized by him
were warned to flee from the wrath to come
John refers to them as “brood of vipers” or “the offspring of snakes”…an interesting term when you highlight the call to repentance and the fall of man.
Go down further and we
“As
The time of John - the time of the OT, is fufilled:
John the Baptist is the forerunner to Christ earthly ministry.
He is to prepare the way for Christ.
John is “the voice of one crying in the wilderness.”
M
This comes in fulfillment to the Holy Spirits words spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
John the Baptist was the last of the Old Testament prophets, and his ministry was a bridge between the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Many also link the coming of John the Baptist to what the Holy Spirit prophesied through the Prophet Malachi who wrote
I think more study would need to be done on this:
The passage in Luke that refers to John as Elijah in the following way:
Luke 1:
This is a reference to
Jesus also says that
However in John himself says,
Or at the transfiguration you have Jesus saying:
Matthew 17:
So, what are we to make of this...
You will read from different camps that John is Elijah reincarnate (which is odd, because Elijah didn’t die), that John is Elijah and thus Elijah has come, that John is not Elijah...
I think that we take from this what the scripture clearly says.
As a matter of fact, if you don’t make of this what scripture says then you will not understand what the Holy Spirit is saying through Luke this morning.
Turn to .
We will read what the Holy Spirit has given us in through till the end of the OT.
Now turn back to
Note: Bothe Malachi & Luke are referencing Israel.
In Luke the crowd that has gathered is a Jewish crowd.
It is those seeking repentance and those such as the Pharisees seeking their own curiosities.
In Malachi and in Luke you have a Israelite gathering of those who are true Israel and those who are not.
John the Baptist fulfills everything
The prophesy looks at more than one fulfillment (double fulfillment)
General prophecy of all prophets or messengers that come
Water used as a symbol or sign as a change of mind
Baptism - to come under the control or influence of something else
Numbers 9
Numbers 19:
He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit (in the control, domination of) and fire (no separate article)
Gather - always -eternally His purpose to gather His wheat
Ezekiel 36:25
Chaff is the dry, scaly protective casings of the seeds of cereal grain, or similar fine, dry, scaly plant material such as scaly parts of flowers, or finely chopped straw.
Harvesting is the process of gathering a ripe crop from the fields.
Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper.
Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of grain (or other crop) from the husks and straw to which it is attached.
It is the step in grain preparation after reaping and before winnowing, which separates the grain from the chaff.
winnowing -
Wind winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures for separating grain from chaff.
In its simplest form it involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff, while the heavier grains fall back down for recovery.
Techniques included using a winnowing fan (a shaped basket shaken to raise the chaff) or using a tool (a winnowing fork or shovel) on a pile of harvested grain.
Galatians 7:7-8
Matthew 13:
The wrath (of God) is not hell…normally < “The Wrath” refers to the 70th week of Daniel ().
Jew is a decedent of Jacob
We are descendants of Abraham (by faith)
Matthew 7:20-2=
Matthew 7:15-

:
Slowly ceremony becomes more important than what it symbolizes
