The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Ezekiel #4

Ezekiel #4

Jesus is the flashing forth of the Glory of God (Heb 1:3, Joh 1:14). Of His fullness have we received and grace upon grace (Joh 1:16). Righteousness begins with confession; our life is to glorify Him (2Co 3:18, 2Co 4:17). Charge to Ezekiel -- because he saw the glory of God. (Eze 12:1-2). Moses warns Israel; so did Jesus (Deut 29, Mat 13). Eyes of the Lord looking for loyal hearts; judgment begins at His temple, his people (2Ch 3:9, 1Pe 4:17). Glory – unchanging value of things in God’s eyes. Jesus Christ has double glory: the nature of God is revealed in Him; the true nature of man as God intended it (Joh 7:39, Joh 13:31 Joh 17:5). Holiness love, compassion, mercy were revealed at the cross. Prophesies – Live under Rome (Dan 2:40, Dan 7:7 Dan 9:24-29); He was a Nazarene (Isa 9:1-2); Born in Bethlehem (Mic 5:1-2); was of the House of David (2Sa 7:12-16); time of birth (Dan 9:24-26 Gal 4:4); Wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger (Isa 9:6-7); Commonplace person (Isa 53:1-3); would reconcile mankind (Isa 57:19). Herod was evil and his purpose could be no higher than human thing. God works behind the scenes (Luk 2:1-3). The road to glory is the ridicule of men. Joseph and Mary were ridiculed due to her pregnancy even in their home town Bethlehem (Luk 2:4). Go’ds glory is focused on Jesus Christ; He was first born (Luk 2:6-7, Rom 8:29, Col 1:15, Col 1:18, Heb 1:6, Heb 12:23). Jesus flesh was the veil of His glory (Heb 10:20). God picks the lowly (1Co 1:26-28). The glory of God is revealed to the pure of heart (Luk 2:8-14). The announcement of glory was to faithful shepherds (Joh 14:21). We are invited to enter God’s glory (Luk 2:15-20).
