B580 - Prophecies Pertaining to Jesus
An examination of the key Old Testament prophecies of events in the life of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. These prophecies supply details about Christ that are not mentioned in the Gospels. While messianic prophecy is usually restricted to prophecies which directly refer to Christ, this course approaches the subject from a broader viewpoint. Some typological pictures of Christ are also included, being viewed as indirect prophecies of events in His life. In addition, the instructor offers strong evidence that, in most cases, messianic prophecies find a secondary application in the church, the spiritual Body of Christ.
