D181 - Unfolding Revelation of God, Intro
This eye opening explanation progressively unfolds the basic Scriptural teaching on the nature of God in the Bible, from Elohim to YHWH Elohim, to YHWH. God told Moses, “By my name Yahweh [Jehovah] was I not known to them” (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob). Special attention is given to God’s revelations of Himself in the burning bush, the pillar of fire, and the cloud that led Israel through the wilderness. The course explains God’s title names Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, Jehovah-nissi, Jehovah-shalom, Jehovah-ra-ah, Jehovah-tsidkenu, Jehovahshammah, etc., which reveal the grace, power, and glory He provides those in covenant relationship with Him. In this class the student sees the man who wrestled with Jacob, whom Hosea calls the Angel of the Lord and whom Jacob calls El (God); the fourth man in the fiery furnace; and the Son of man, the Son of God: Jesus, both God and man. This is an unfolding revelation from the beginning to the end of the Bible when the saints are to receive “my new name” as Jesus promised. This course opens up the entire Bible to every student in a new way. Each major theological point made by the teacher is substantiated by clear texts of Scripture. Additional topics include: Biblical terminology and its relationship to the doctrine of God, the attributes of God, proofs of Christ’s full deity and full humanity, and the manifestations of God throughout history. God has revealed Himself in His Word, and this class imparts that revelation so anyone can understand it and see it for himself in the Bible.
