Hebrews 6:3 Part 7 Bible Teaching

Divine Communication: From Prophets to Christ

On December 8th, 2013, a teaching session explored the profound themes of resurrection and the return of Jesus, as outlined in Hebrews 6:3. The session began with a call to prayer and an introduction to a new initiative inspired by the LDS community, encouraging congregation members to engage deeply with the Bible. This initiative involves a five-minute presentation where individuals research and teach on specific Bible verses, emphasizing the importance of understanding God’s Word.

The teaching delved into the concept of resurrection, clarifying that Jesus’ resurrection initiated the first phase of the first resurrection, with believers now awaiting the second phase upon His return. The session highlighted the importance of understanding the context and audience of biblical texts, urging believers to consider the original recipients’ perspectives to avoid misinterpretation.

A significant portion of the teaching focused on Matthew 24, where Jesus discusses the signs of His return and the end of the age. The discourse emphasized that Jesus’ prophecies were directed at His contemporaries, predicting events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The teaching challenged modern interpretations that apply these prophecies to current times, suggesting that Jesus’ words were fulfilled within the generation He addressed.

The session concluded with a reminder of the living nature of God’s Word, encouraging believers to apply its teachings to their lives while understanding its historical context. The teaching invited participants to continue exploring these themes in upcoming studies, fostering a deeper comprehension of biblical eschatology.
