BIBLE Study(understanding the prophecies concerning Christ and salvation) by Nobody: 7:16am On Jun 13, 2015 |
I caught the rhema! This is a popular phrase used by some when they haven't taken the time to study and show themselves approved. Rhema simply put are the words that make up a statement.. Logos is the statement! Logos precedes rhema, as Logos is the thought and reason.. We can safely say the words of the Prophets are the "rhema" of the scriptures.The Logos is A PERSON-CHRIST JESUS. We aren't to be searching for words to use or phrases to hold on to,we are to READ ALL THE WORDS! It is when this is done that we fully comprehend the Logos. Looking for "rhema" oftentimes leads most folks into reading scriptures out of context. The scriptures already have its message,Its Logos,its purpose: The Word-Christ Jesus! let's read some scriptures again. John 5:39 Search the scriptures;for in them ye think ye have eternal life:and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me,that ye might have life. The scriptures here refer to EVERYTHING written,hence when they are read together,put together,placed side by side,ONLY one message will flow forth; Christ Jesus!. 2Tim3:15 And that from a child thou has known the holy scriptures,which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by the inspiration of God,and is profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteousness. Here Paul commends Timothy's diligence with the scriptures(Genesis through Malachi).He says however that the scriptures have(had) only one purpose- Salvation through FAITH THAT IS IN CHRIST! No revs,no esoteric flows. just All that Christ has done!. 2Tim2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God,a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,rightly diving the word of truth. A workman will rightly divide(cut through the scriptures,make a way and direct his paths) to the Word of truth-Christ Jesus! No shortcuts,no fresh ideas,no hidden meanings, ONLY THE WORD OF TRUTH! This is what is approved unto God! The Scriptures(Genesis-Malachi) were referred to as the Prophets or Scriptures of the Prophets or the Prophecy of the Scriptures,hence Peter's admonition here: 2Pet1:20 Knowing this first,that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation 21For the prophecy came not in the old time by the will of man:but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The meaning of private interpretation refers to ORIGIN(SOURCE).And the Next verse points us to the source -The Spirit of God! Peter had earlier explained further on the source of these prophets in his first epistle. 1Pet1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently,who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 searching what,or what manner if time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,when it testified before hand the sufferings of Christ,and the glory that should follow. 12Unto whom it was revealed,that not unto themselves,but unto us they did minister the things,which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven:which things the angels desire to look into. The spirit of Christ(The spirit of God Rom8:9-20)tesified of Himself Christ Jesus. What is this testimony? His sufferings and the Glory that would follow.His sufferings were fufuilled in the 4 gospels(Matt,mark,luke,John)! The Glory that follows would be written by men of the Spirit in the Epistles! Listen to Jesus himself: Luke 24 25then he said to them, O fools,and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? 27and beginning at Moses and all the Prophets,he expounded unto them in ALL THE SCRIPTURES the things concerning himself. Genesis to Malachi PROPHESIED(spoke ahead of time,in types and shadows and many symbols) of the Sufferings of Jesus(His Incarnation,temptation,rejection,crucifixion,death,burial, and descent to hell) and the glory to follow (His resurrection,ascension and exaltation to the right hand of The Father.)this was what Jesus showed them. Thus Genesis to Malachi is a mix of Prophecies,type and shadows of All of Christ sufferings for sin and His glory that was to be revealed afterwards. In the books of Mattew.Mark,Luke&John. his sufferings are fulfilled and we see a part of the glory(resurrection and ascension). From the book of Acts to Revelation- We see an exalted Christ,not a suffering one.The Glory that followed!Here,we have the scriptures well-explained as the epistles teach the fulfilment of the prophecies,promise and remove the veil of types and shadows and we see HIM-CHRIST JESUS! No hidden meanings or revs!The scriptures have a Message.The Old Testament had it many words of the Prophets which we can safely refer to as "rhema",the Epistles have fully revealed it in its doctrine,fufilment and understanding-LOGOS! A wise man once said -"The Old testament is the New testament CONCEALED, The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. The writings of The Old Testament are Christ concealed,the New Testament- Christ revealed" Dont look for rhema,read with the aid of The Logos-Christ unveiled. Hope we are clear.Christ is the Logos of the Rhema of the Prophets We win!. SOURCE:Saints community church, 378,Herbert Macaulay way,By Unilag junction,Yaba,Lagos. Tel:08033023354.
