Part 2, Dr. Crystal Pierce, Matthew 18 and Luke 10.

Crystal, let's move to the second chapter in this week's lesson, which is also a packed chapter,

Luke chapter 10. Where do you want to go? So it's sort of a perfect segue from Matthew 18.

Again, Jesus is trying to set up the kingdom in the church and how it's going to be run and

make sure that the leadership is adequate because he's not going to be around much longer.

And he's already dispatched the 12 in Luke 9 and given them instructions in what they're supposed

to do. And now we find out in Luke 10 that he calls 70 more leaders of the church. And of course

this number 70, we talked about this in the first part. And it's great because using the 12 in

the 70 is a reflection of what was done in the Old Testament under the law of Moses and Moses.

So the 12 sort of represent the 12 tribes of Israel. Moses called 12 princes. So now calling

these 12 apostles, they're the ones who cover the house of Israel. They're going to go out and

teach the 12 tribes. But this number 70 is really interesting because Moses also called 70 elders

to help govern a house of Israel in the community. But in Genesis, we see that the number 70 represents

the Gentile nations of the earth. So the 70 are meant to go out to the rest of the earth, the Gentiles.

We have the apostles covering the house of Israel. And now we have the 70 going out and covering

everyone else. So the gospel is meant for everybody, not just the house of Israel, everyone. And so

this is a reflection of in the future when it would go forth to the Gentiles. This is already sort of

hinting. This is a shadow of that happening. That makes sense because Luke wants to emphasize the

Savior as not just the Savior of the Jews, but the Savior of the entire world. Exactly. Exactly. And

this is the way it's covered. I never knew that. So the number 70 represents the Gentile nations of

the earth. That's yeah. And that's in Genesis 10. I love it. He's like, we're covering everyone.

This is great because this has been restored today. We have the 12 apostles still representing
