LIVE DISCUSSION: All Promises to National Israel - FULFILLED (Part 2 of 5)
What did Joshua mean when he declared that "not one word of all the good promises that the Lord made to the house of Israel had failed"? This profound statement challenges many contemporary theological perspectives about God's relationship with Israel and what remains unfulfilled.
Through a careful examination of Joshua 21:43-45 and 23:14, we uncover a striking truth: God fulfilled every promise He made to national Israel under the old covenant. The land was given, rest from enemies was granted, and all good promises were completed—exactly as God had sworn to their fathers. This revelation forces us to reconsider popular dispensational views that suggest God still owes unfulfilled promises to the nation of Israel.
The key insight emerges in distinguishing between promises made under the old covenant versus prophetic declarations about the new covenant. Paul's teachings in Galatians clarify that justification comes either by works of the law or by faith—never a mixture of both. The law served a divine purpose, not as a means of salvation, but to demonstrate our universal guilt before God and need for a Savior.
We discover that Abraham, Moses, and other heroes of faith were looking beyond the natural, earthly promises they received to something far greater—spiritual promises that would find ultimate fulfillment through Christ. This perspective illuminates why Christ is the true heir of all God's promises, and how the new covenant establishes a spiritual Israel comprised of both Jews and Gentiles who believe.
The beauty of God's redemptive plan shines through as we recognize that the "middle wall of partition" between Jews and Gentiles has been permanently removed, creating one new humanity in Christ. The physical promises of the old covenant pointed toward greater spiritual realities now available to all who trust in Jesus.
What are you putting your faith in—earthly, temporary promises or the eternal inheritance available through Christ? Join us as we explore how ancient texts reveal timeless truths about God's faithfulness and His ultimate plan for salvation.
house of Israel had failed. All came to pass. Meg, how do you interpret this?
Speaker 2:I'm ready.
Speaker 1:How do you? How do you interpret this? So, before you start, let me just say this In this verse, three of those things here are the three key things that are said the land that was promised was given. The promise of rest from their enemies was given. All good promises by God were fulfilled. How do you interpret this passage? Is there anything missing or is there something lacking in my understanding of what is being said here? And if so, what am I missing?
Speaker 2:Okay, can you read those verses? So are you still on the promises of Abraham versus the covenant of Moses?
Speaker 1:Well, I'm taking them as a whole. Okay, because they're because, because they're all the same, they're all integrated yes, but there's.
Speaker 2:But when it comes to abraham and the covenant of moses, they are let's, let's, let's deal with this particular, these three verses.
Speaker 1:Okay, these three verses. It's Joshua what 21, 43 through 45. You want me to read it again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, please Because.
Speaker 1:I love to read it again 43 through 45.
Speaker 1:Yes, thus the Lord. He gave to Israel. Notice this he gave to Israel all of the land that he swore to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it. Number two, they took possession of it. Three, they settled there. The Lord gave them four. Rest on every side, just as he has sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies withstood them, for the Lord had given all their enemies into their hands. And notice this, the last part, not one word of all of the good promises that the Lord made to the house of Israel had failed. All came to pass.
Speaker 2:Amen. So I think with these scriptures, like the first three, I think what's really important is to recognize the first part. It says and the Lord gave. So we see here in these passages that in the part right here it just emphasizes God's initiative and his faithfulness. And usually when the Lord does something he lays out his plan or shows what he is doing before something happens. So then he said all the land which he swear to give to his fathers. So we see that it's the fulfillment of his covenant, covenant promises to Moses. Right. So they actually lived in the land and they dwelt it.
Speaker 2:In the KJV it says and possessed it. So then he goes on to say and the Lord gave them rest round about. So he gave them peace from their enemies. There was no warfare. We can see that in deuteronomy, chapter 12. And then it says no man before them. So god then enables them to defeat their enemies. And then, verse 45, it says there failed, not ought of any good thing which the lord has spoken unto the house of israel. All came to pass. Not a single promise that god had made fell short. His word is completely reliable and, if I'm not mistaking, this echoes solomon's there hath not failed one word of all his good promises. That's in First Kings, I think.
Speaker 1:We're going to get to some more, but we'll get to that. Jeffrey, go ahead. I want to hear what your thoughts are on this. What does it mean when it says here Brother Jeffrey, not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel has failed.
Speaker 3:There's nothing to interpret. That is absolute truth. That is what happened. There is no law that was broken. I mean, there's no law that got in the way. God simply did what he told his people he would do. And, jonathan, there is no, but he said a while ago we put a but on the end of it. There is no but here.
Speaker 1:So let me ask everybody I know Meg has answered and Jeffrey has answered, but does anybody have a dissenting perspective on what is being conveyed here? Anybody? Because here's the reason why I'm asking this and I'm asking this because of the dispensational perspective on things. You have people, christians, that are always saying that God is not done with the nation of Israel. Here Joshua seems to think he gave them everything that he promised. So here's my question. So here's my, here's my, my, my question Is there anything that God promised to the nation of Israel, the physical nation of Israel, national Israel? Is there anything that he promised them that he did not give them? Because if there's something that he did not give them, then I want to have a better explanation of what Joshua is saying here in chapter 21, 43 through 45.
Speaker 4:Anybody. Can I ask a question? Sure bro, did he give them eternal life at that point? Nope, so he didn't give them everything but did he promise to give them eternal life? Yes, he did. Where Well the blessing of the law testified of christ where?
Speaker 1:at the cross? No where. Where is this in the old covenant?
Speaker 4:well, I mean the prophets. Talk about isaiah 53 but what so?
Speaker 1:so here, let me ask you this, brother, let me ask you this okay, when paul, when, when I Okay when Joshua says not one word of all of the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed and that all came to pass, what does that mean then?
Speaker 4:Oh, and that time I just come in. You invited me up, bro, so what? I don't even know what chapter you're on.
Speaker 1:No, it's no, it's no attack at all. No, no, yes, whenever attack at all?
Speaker 4:Yes, whenever. Yeah, when Moses died, he gave him the promised land. Right, I mean everything come to pass at that age.
Speaker 1:Right, and that's my point, that's what I'm making, because I do know there are promises yet to be fulfilled in the future, in a new covenant, because the new covenant was prophesied, so that I totally agree with you. But see, and here's the point that I'm making, brother, is that there is a distinction between the promises that God made under the old covenant versus those that were made in the new covenant.
Speaker 2:Amen. So, like the question that you were asking previously, that was really interesting is what was left out of Galatians, right, right? So we see in Galatians that Paul does not include the Mosaic law or its conditions.
Speaker 1:Now we're getting somewhere.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. Can I elaborate a little bit?
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 2:Okay. So Paul is not including the Mosaic law or its conditions as salvation. Now, if we're looking at Moses and we're looking at Abraham, Abraham the promises were unconditional, right. So God counted Abraham righteous because of faith. But in the covenant of Moses it was conditional because Israel's blessing in the land depended on their obedience, as we see in Exodus. Right. So if what was left out of Galatians was, Paul did not include the land inheritance, right in galatians, because the ultimate fulfillment is spiritual. And then we see blessing to all nations in christ you are truly my sister.
Speaker 1:Now here's the thing you got there faster than I thought we were going to get there tonight.
Speaker 1:And the point is and listen when the point is made, I don't like having cliffhangers If we figure it out at the beginning, we figure it out at the beginning. But the issue that I'm getting to and you got there in the first verse of this, and where we got to is this and when we look at Galatians, when we look at the Galatians, we are dealing with two contrasting ideas as to how a man can be justified either by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith. Those are the two contrasting elements. Paul is saying your justification is either by the law of works, by the law of works, or by the hearing of faith. There is no intermingling and there's no connection between the two. It is one or the other. So the point here, as you brought out, meg, and profoundly so, is that in the promises that God made to Abraham and Moses, whoever they were, there is no indication whatsoever that God ever intended or promised that salvation could come by the keeping of the law.
Speaker 2:Amen, so like go ahead, you got me.
Speaker 1:So when we look at these verses here in joshua 21, verses 43, excuse me, 245 god says he promised them all these things that pertain to the land rest from their enemies, and we're going to go through all the different things you talked about, but not once does it ever say that a promise of God is going to be. That that is included in the promises of God is law keeping in order to, or as it means to, justification, order to or as it means to, justification. But we do get that promise. When he goes beyond the, the old covenant, and enters into what he starts, what is being prophesied by the prophets like ezekiel, jeremiah and isaiah about salvation. And he makes the transition from dealing with the, from dealing with the physical, earthly Israel under the old covenant, and then transitioning to the spiritual Israel, which is the Israel of the new covenant and the one that matters most of all, and it is dealing with a body of people comprised of both Jew and Gentile alike. And it is a spiritual place that we're looking for Because, remember, we are told in Hebrews that Abraham, moses and all of these giants that we read about in Hebrews, chapter 11, it says they were looking for better promises than the ones that God had already fulfilled.
Speaker 1:But here it says that they received everything that God promised. But Moses and these other giants of the faith in the old covenant, they were still looking for something more than what was there. They wanted more than that natural, those promises that tended to service them in a natural sense, versus the spiritual houses. Brother tom a says that was to be magnified in the under the new covenant. So go ahead, meg, what are you going to say?
Speaker 2:I was going to say like. Also like in these scriptures too, we see that paul points in galatians and he's done it all the way up until chapter three that the law served a purpose. It did it was, but it was never meant to save. It was only meant to point to christ. So the blessing that was promised to abraham was justification and the spirit, and that is now available to us who believe amen amen I just want to say in Romans 3, 19,.
Speaker 4:Paul says the law was given so that all men would become guilty before God.
Speaker 1:Amen, brother Amen, and see that is significant, significant.
Speaker 5:It was to prove that we all need a savior.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 4:Preparing the way for Jesusesus christ. That's right, and remember. He told moses I lay before you a blessing and a cursing this day. What did? What did thomas say in john 20? Blessed. Are they who believe me without seeing? That's the blessing.
Speaker 5:Yes, brother see and isn't it in galatians where he talks about the people who believe in the law and live by the law are also cursed Right.
Speaker 3:You know, like the Isaac, isaac and Ishmael, that's right.
Speaker 1:Absolutely Sister Evie.
Speaker 5:In faith Yep.
Speaker 1:Sister Evie go ahead.
Speaker 5:I mean the beauty of it is is when we see, until Jesus came on the scene, all the pieces started to fit together in place, because Jesus is the Davidic Messiah who will not only rule over Israel, as we see through the scriptures, but over the whole world. That we see that in Revelations 19, 15, and anyone meaning the Galatians, so I mean just the beautiful picture of redemption and what the Lord does. We that are studying Old Testament, seeing the beauty of the Revelation in the New Testament, can understand that. But people get stuck in that there's this movement that's happening, the word of faith, and they believe that there's like a threefold ministry and a sevenfold ministry and they're stuck in that and these things has already taken place, and so yeah, Amen, sister, brother Jerry, any comments input?
Speaker 1:Love to hear from you, brother, as always, not at this moment. All right, brother Gray, input thoughts, ideas? All right, so okay, go ahead.
Speaker 6:So it seems to me that the whole confusion back there in the early church was that the Jews, because they entered into their covenant by natural birth right, it was primarily a bloodline thing, although there were provisions made where, you know, other people could come and join in. But primarily, you know, you entered into that covenant, either the Abrahamic or the Mosaic covenant, by your parentage right, by physical birth, and they were thinking that that principle continued right, and so that's why they were trying to put that mark of circumcision on people and they, you know, not realizing that, you know, the new covenant operates different. Right John 1, 12 and 13,. He came to his own, right Jesus came to his own, the nation of Israel, but his own received him not, but to as many as did receive him, to them he gave the right to become the children of God, Echoing the same thing Paul said there.
Speaker 6:I think in that last verse you read in Galatians, who, you know, those who are of faith are children of Abraham. So it's changed now. It's not. You're not a child of Abraham by physical descent, it's by that spiritual birth from above.
Speaker 1:And that is one of the most significant aspects to be embraced in understanding what Paul is saying in Galatians and also what he talked in Romans. Clearly, In fact, through most of Paul's writings, you see these themes overlapping, and rightly so. And so there's this grand expectation to find the ultimate fulfillment of the God's promises for eternal salvation to be found in the coming covenant, the new covenant that would supplant the existing one. But what I'm trying to point out here is that in these verses that I'm laying out right now I'm going to start with the next one in a second here, but in all these verses that I'm laying out right now I'm going to start with the next one in a second here but in all these verses that I'm laying out right now, it is clear that everything that national Israel as you're talking about, Greg everything that national Israel was promised has been fulfilled, all of it. And yet you have a great many Christians that will tell you no, it hasn't been.
Speaker 1:But the distinction that is not made between a lot of people is the difference between the promises being fulfilled, or the promises made and fulfilled for the old covenant, versus the promises that were made and that shall be fulfilled in totality under the new, and this is a big thing because this is really a continuation.
Speaker 1:The new covenant is really a continuation of the old, and this new covenant has rendered more conspicuous things that God was leading people, leading the nation of Israel to embrace throughout their history, so that when the Messiah came, they would recognize it. They would recognize it. And so Christ was always talking about things like when John the Baptist's servants came to Jesus Christ and John had directed them to ask Jesus, the Lord, Jesus Christ, are you he that we are expecting to come? And what did Christ say? He says go back and tell John what I'm doing. Go and tell him what I'm doing. There's something about what Christ was doing that he was expecting the disciples of John to convey to John so that he would know that it was him who was the promised and expected Messiah. No-transcript.
Speaker 1:And this is a significant, significant thing, because what he was doing was not something that a man could do, but it was something only that Isaiah talked about this particular man doing, who was the son of God in human flesh 100%. He was 100% human. He was 100% human, he was 100% God. He was the second person of the Godhead and he was coming to do things that were going to transcend all expectations that were to be expected or promised in the old covenant, but they would be made more illustrious in the new. This is what we're talking about. So the second verse I want to talk about is also in Joshua. Joshua, chapter 23, verse 14. And here's what it says.
Speaker 1:Joshua says and now I'm not sure I can't remember if it's Joshua or Moses, I gotta go back and look at it but anyway he says and now I'm about to go the way of all the earth. And you know in your hearts and in your souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all, all of the good things that the Lord, your God, has promised concerning you, who, the nation of Israel, all have come to pass for you, and not one of them has failed. Now one has failed Superbly. What do you think about that verse. How do you interpret that?
Speaker 4:Well, it's saying that you know the that what God promised them is all been fulfilled. I mean, there's nothing more to add to it. They've been given everything that God said that he was going to give them Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Evie. Is there anything that I'm missing in the understanding that Superbly just gave Is there anything I'm missing?
Speaker 5:Just keep going on and on how he was from the tribe of Judah, how he was born in the town of Bethlehem, how he was born of the King of David, like we can just go through. These were the promises that they were waiting for, and it was so beautiful that today we can see that and there's so many that are blinded to this truth today.
Speaker 1:But I mean, but I mean, I mean in the context of the promises that were made under the old covenant to national Israel Right now, because I mean in the context of the promises that were made under the old covenant to national Israel Right now, because I mean, like I said, we could keep going to be of a child, to be born of a virgin.
Speaker 5:We see that in Isaiah 13 through 14,. You know, kings shall bring him gifts, you know, fall down before him. We see that in Psalms. So no, I think you're spot on. I think that we can see him all throughout the Old Testament. These promises were promised to these specific nations and we're living out today. Amen.
Speaker 1:The word. Brother, what say you? Joshua 23, 14. He says all have come to pass for you and not one of them has failed, meaning the promises that god made to the nation yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:In that age he fulfilled everything I agree, yeah, yeah, absolutely amen, because, because, because here's the thing, this, this is a tough one, because when you, when I deal with, when I'm having a discussion I'm sure many of you too when you have these discussions with a lot of those who hold to these dispensational things, these ideas, they tell you that these things, that the things have not been fulfilled. This is why you have people talking about a rebuilt temple coming in Jerusalem, because all of the promises that God made to them haven't been fulfilled yet, but they're going to be fulfilled in the future. But that's. That doesn't make any sense, because Joshua here is telling us so far, I'm dealing with just the first two passages out of Joshua and it says he says I have fulfilled every promise. God is saying every promise that God has made to us, he has given and fulfilled, and so I want to hear from anybody who says, no, that is not true, he didn't provide all the promises.
Speaker 4:The only question I would have, brother, is why do they sing the song of Moses in Revelation 15? Is that a different, something else that has to be fulfilled?
Speaker 1:No, I think that is because, when we look at because I'm not excluding at all the fact that there are prophets, that the prophets have talked about things that are going to go beyond the old covenant, promises that were made and go into the new covenant, because, remember all the aspects that we have expectations to in the new covenant that we are today taking advantage of, not advantage, but you know what I mean we're laying hold of salvation, brother, we're laying hold of salvation. So what we are having, what we're having now, is taking those what God promised in a natural sense, and now we have these promises being fulfilled in a different way, but in a spiritual sense, which is the most important sense.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and that's why Hebrews 11 says Abraham was considered faithful, because he looked for the blessed heavenly city, jerusalem, that he could not see.
Speaker 1:A better country. And here's the crazy thing about this Because when we read here in the Old Covenant, when we read these passages that talk about the fulfillment of these Old Testament promises, you got to ask yourself how did Moses and Abraham and Joshua and David, how did Moses and Abraham and Joshua and David, all these guys, how did they know that there was something more to be done that goes outside of the promises fulfilled in the old covenant era?
Speaker 2:Because the Lord was speaking through the prophets Was Amen, I mean, and this is what we have like. I'm sure that there was more that that we don't know. You know what I mean as far as like scribing. But we can only imagine, like the relationship that keyword right relationship that jesus had, or that that God had with the prophets. He spoke through them and to them absolutely.
Speaker 4:And when we talk about God keeping his promises, he also kept his. And the reason why I asked about the song of Moses was because of Deuteronomy 32, 21, right Israel's need to jealousy with that is not God. And he kept that promise in Matthew 21, 43, when Jesus said the kingdom of God is taken from you Jews and given to the Gentiles.
Speaker 1:Good, excellent point, excellent point. I missed that one man, but good point, excellent point there on that one there. But you see, but see to, to me it is like so in in this passage in joshua, in joshua 23, we see that there's there. There is that the, the old covenant saints. They had the ability to totally rely on god's past promises to israel as, having come to pass Joshua, moses, abraham, they knew. They knew that what was promised to national Israel had been fulfilled, national Israel, which indicates something. It indicates something significant because it indicates that, in terms of those promises, it indicates something significant because it indicates that, in terms of those promises or to the nation of Israel, there is nothing more to be guaranteed to them under the auspices of the natural and of the fleshly era, amen.
Speaker 2:What is that verse, brother Jonathan? That that says in times past God spoke through the prophets, but now we see that everything has been fulfilled in Christ and now the law and the prophets basically go away and we see everything is being fulfilled through Christ. And you know where else where we see that clearly, it's on the Mount of Transfiguration. Because what happened was on the Mount of Transfiguration. Remember, we saw Moses and we saw Elijah, and then they tried to build tabernacles for him and then, boom, they disappeared. And then the Lord spoke from heaven and said this is my son, hear him. So that exact verse was being even lived out on the Mount of Transfiguration.
Speaker 1:Right Now. So what you're talking about is in Hebrews, and I believe it was somebody. Well, nathan mentioned it and Mariah mentioned it, and it says this Nathan mentioned it and Mariah mentioned it and it says this God who, at sundry or various times and in diverse manners, spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, he has in these last days spoken to us by his son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. And then he goes on to talk about how he was the brightness of God's glory, the express image of his person, and that he upholds all things by the word of his power, when he had, by himself, purged our sins and sat down at the right hand of the majesty of high. And what is interesting here, what is beautiful here, was that it says that he purged, that he purged our sins.
Speaker 2:There's another. There's another verse in the Old Testament that says and the Lord purged the threshing floor.
Speaker 1:He thoroughly purged. He thoroughly yes, so, yeah, so. But the main thing here that I want to keep emphasizing is that and I, like I'm the kind of person that, when it comes to the word of God and I'm sure many of you are the same way Sometimes with folks you have to beat the dead horse. But I have to beat the dead horse in this situation Because, to me, this whole idea of what is remaining for the nation of Israel, there is nothing remaining. The church of Christ, that is, the new spiritual Israel, comprised and composed of both Jew and Gentile alike, as Christ and Paul clearly established, clearly established, the middle wall of partition between the Jew and Gentile has been taken down for good.
Speaker 1:And so when we look at in Paul, in Galatians, and in Galatians 3, he says if I tear down, if I build up again, he says if I build again. In other words, he says I built it once, I built my faith once on law keeping, but when Christ came, the law killed me and I, and now become crucified in Christ and I. Now I live in Christ, though not I, but Christ lives in me. So what Paul is saying is that. So he goes on to tell the Galatians.
Speaker 1:So, in light of this fact, if I abandon this grace that I have received, or if I modify it by adding things to it that we tore down I make myself a transgressor. We tore down, I make myself a transgressor. And if he says, and if I make myself a transgressor in this regard, then Christ died in vain, and this is, and there's no way, the way to look at it. There's no way to look at it. So this, this is what we have to really get crystallized in our minds, so that, because, if any other thing other than what Paul is saying is true, it is to take away the efficacy of the grace of God by polluting it and diluting it with that leaven, that leavens the whole lump. Sister Evie, go ahead.
Speaker 5:They're loud too. They just came down, I was trying to be quiet, so what I wanted to say is yes, amen. Like how do they not see that in the scriptures that talks about a new, everlasting covenant? In Jeremiah 31, 31, we see, I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel. A new. It make a new covenant with the house of Israel. A new.
Speaker 5:It says a new covenant with the house of Israel and and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with the forefathers, like Meg was talking about. I will put my law in their minds and write it in their hearts. And then it just goes on in Jeremiah 32. But then we see in Luke 22, 15, 20,. This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Then you see in Hebrews, 10, 15,. This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, a new and living way opening for us. I mean, it's just a beautiful thing to understand. And then you have so many that don't understand that, that want to say that the Messiah was not who he said he was, and they're still in idolatry and it's sad.
Speaker 2:You know why they can't see it, Evie Because they're blinded by the light.
Speaker 4:They got the veil of Moses over their heart. What's that, brother?
Speaker 1:According to Paul, they got the veil of Moses over their heart. What's that, brother? That was good.
Speaker 4:According to Paul, they got the veil of Moses over their heart in the reading of the Old Testament.
Speaker 1:Brother Nathan said too that they still have that veil, that veil. Whenever people lean onto the law of God for salvation, they still show that they have that veil over them. Like Brother Nathan Parris says, and it's so true, it's so true over them like. Brother.
Speaker 4:Nathan Parr says and it's so true. It's so true. And, brother, do you mind reading a verse? Because in Genesis 49, verse 8 through 13. Because I believe there are two distinct laws, the law of Moses and the law of Christ. And in Isaiah 42, 4, it says and the nations shall wait for his law. And in Matthew 12, it quotes Isaiah 42 and says that this is the Messiah Shalom who would usher in the new law to the nations.
Speaker 1:So in Genesis you want to read 49 verses. Which ones?
Speaker 4:I'm sorry 8 through 13,. I believe. All right, let me read it Shalom in the Hebrew means the Messiah. The Messiah right 8 through 13.
Speaker 1:So Genesis 49. All right, let me read it. Shiloh in the Hebrew means the Messiah, the Messiah right, 8 through 13. So Genesis 49. All right, let me read it. So Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, you are gone up. He stooped down and couched as a lion, as an old lion. Who shall rouse him up? Here's verse 10. This is the one you're talking about, brother. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor shall a lawgiver from between his feet. Shiloh shall come and unto him shall be the gathering of the people, binding his foal unto the vine and his ass's colt unto the choice vine. He washed his garments in wine and his blood in the great, in the blood of grapes. His eyes shall be red with wine and his teeth white with milk. Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea. He shall be for the haven of ships and his border shall be unto zidon.
Speaker 4:Yeah, man those first two verses you read is the resurrection of jesus christ absolutely it's talking about is dealing with this whole thing, that and.
Speaker 1:but it's also talking about him becoming him being this, this king who has this scepter, because and he talks about how the separator will never depart, and it says that and it nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come, because he would be that final one. And it's a beautiful, beautiful passage. So I'm glad you had me read that because it really is, and if people and if the believers really digged into these things, there is so much value to be gleaned from these passages.
Speaker 4:And connect it with Isaiah 42, 1-4.
Speaker 1:All right, let me go to Isaiah 42, 1-4.
Speaker 4:And then we'll end with Matthew, because Matthew confirms that Isaiah 42, 1-4 is Christ.
Speaker 1:All right. 42, 1-4. So here's what it says 42, 1 through 4. Is Christ All right? 42, 1 through 4. So here's what it says Behold my servant, whom I uphold, mine elect, in whom my soul delights. I have put my spirit upon him. He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break and the smoking flax shall he not quench. He shall spring forth. He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail or be discouraged till he have set judgment in all the earth, and the isles shall wait for his law. And what was the other one? It was Luke.
