What was the scope of Jesus' earthly ministry according to the Old Testament prophecies?
The scope of His earthly ministry was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies that Israel would receive the Divine Son of God as their King, Messiah, and Redeemer. He came as the promised King to offer the Kingdom, but Israel rejected Him and crucified Him, with Rome involved.
Les teaches that the whole scope of Jesus' earthly ministry was to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies that Israel would have the Divine Son of God as their King, Messiah, and Redeemer. They rejected His offer of being the King, saying, Let us break their bands away and cast their cords from us. They crucified Him, and Rome was involved. Although the triune God sits in the heavens, they had the King who could have set up His Kingdom, but they killed Him and said, Away with Him, we will not have such a man to rule over us. The prophecy then speaks of wrath and the final seven years of tribulation, and then God sets His King on the holy hill of Zion, Jerusalem, from where Christ will rule in His thousand-year reign.
