THEY WILL SEE A GREAT LIGHT
SLIDE 1 “CHRISTMAS TIME BIBLE STUDY PHOTO SLIDE”
Words and set context for tonight’s study
Really amazing plan and detail God put into bringing and giving us Jesus
Really have to look at the nations scattered at Babylon then the Lord starting His chosen people the Jews
They themselves get corrupted by the other nations
All will need to be reconciled to God
SLIDE 2
Isaiah 8:11–12 (NLT)
11 The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does.
He said,
12 “Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do,
and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.
SLIDE 3
Isaiah 8:13–14 (NLT)
13 Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life.
He is the one you should fear.
He is the one who should make you tremble.
14 He will keep you safe.
But to Israel and Judah
he will be a stone that makes people stumble,
a rock that makes them fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem
he will be a trap and a snare.
SLIDE 4
Isaiah 8:15–17 (NLT)
15 Many will stumble and fall,
never to rise again.
They will be snared and captured.”
16 Preserve the teaching of God;
entrust his instructions to those who follow me.
17 I will wait for the Lord,
who has turned away from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my hope in him.
SLIDE 5
Isaiah 8:18 (NLT)
18 I and the children the Lord has given me serve as signs and warnings to Israel from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies who dwells in his Temple on Mount Zion.
SLIDE 6
Isaiah 8:19 (NLT)
19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead.
With their whisperings and mutterings, they will tell us what to do.”
But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance?
Should the living seek guidance from the dead?
SLIDE 7
Isaiah 8:20–21 (NLT)
20 Look to God’s instructions and teachings!
People who contradict his word are completely in the dark.
21 They will go from one place to another, weary and hungry.
And because they are hungry, they will rage and curse their king and their God.
They will look up to heaven
SLIDE 8
Isaiah 8:22 (NLT)
22 and down at the earth, but wherever they look, there will be trouble and anguish and dark despair.
They will be thrown out into the darkness.
SLIDE 9
Isaiah 9:1 (NLT)
1 Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever.
The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory.
SLIDE 10 “MAP OF ISRAEL”
SLIDE 11
Isaiah 9:2–3 (NLT)
2 The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
3 You will enlarge the nation of Israel,
and its people will rejoice.
They will rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest
and like warriors dividing the plunder.
SLIDE 12
Isaiah 9:4–5 (NLT)
4 For you will break the yoke of their slavery
and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders.
You will break the oppressor’s rod,
just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.
5 The boots of the warrior
and the uniforms bloodstained by war
will all be burned.
They will be fuel for the fire.
SLIDE 13
Isaiah 9:6 (NLT)
6 For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
SLIDE 14
Isaiah 9:7 (NLT)
7 His government and its peace
will never end.
He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David
for all eternity.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will make this happen!
As we look in the New Testament the Lord connects all this so amazing.....again God’s detail
Setting now.......stories from the gospels MMLJ
Jesus born in Bethlehem, dedicated to the Lord by Simeon, later Jesus has wondered off from Joseph and Mary.....what had He been doing?
John had been preaching baptism and repentance, Jesus has been tempted in the wilderness
