These were the scriptures studied by Jesus Christ himself.

I've tried to read the Old Testament. I just can't get that much out of it.

When you read looking for Jesus Christ on every page,

you'll be surprised at what you find.

Jesus Christ is alive.

He did not give up on us in Gassimony,

and he did not give up on us on the cross.

He is not giving up on us today.

Welcome to the course finding Christ in the Old Testament. I'm so excited about this class because on every page of the Old Testament, there's a testimony of Jesus Christ.

And sometimes it's really obvious. And sometimes

there's lesser known stories. Like, have you ever heard the story about a nail in a sure place?

Most people haven't read that because it's in Isaiah chapter 22. It's a hard to find passage.

But that's part of the reason why I love the Old Testament. There's so many lesser known stories. For example, if I'm teaching the book of Mormon and I'm like, all right, class, I'm so excited. There's this great story about a guy who chopped off everybody's arms. People are like, oh yeah, I already heard that story. But if I say, do you know the story of Eliakim? People are like, Eliah, who? Never heard of him. Well, he's the guy that it talks about in Isaiah

Chapter 22. So let's take a look. In Isaiah chapter 2, there's been a steward in the king's house.

His name is Shebna, but he's been less effective, so he gets kicked out, and Eliakim takes his place. So in Isaiah chapter 22,

we read that Eliakim would be given many important responsibilities, including receiving the key

of the House of David, which would give Eliakim authority, for he shall open and none shall shut,

and he shall shut, and none shall open. Then continuing to talk about Eliakim authority, for he shall open and none shall shut, and he shall shut and none shall open.

Then continuing to talk about Eliakim, we read, I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place,

and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house, and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house.

In that day saith the Lord of hosts shall the nail that is fastened in the shore place

be removed and be cut down.
