In this episode Kerry discusses what it means to find Christ in the Old Testament, and how our unique knowledge of Christ as Jehovah allows us to learn more. Then he and Andrew Skinner and Joshua Matson engage in a roundtable talking about how they learn more about Christ in the Old Testament. Finally Kerry talks about prophecies of Christ that were fulfilled in His birth and ministry, and especially how understanding about the term Messiah, or anointed one, help us understand who Christ is and what He did and will do for us.

| 0:00.0 | hello and welcome to the scriptures are real this is the podcast where we make the |
| 0:13.7 | scriptures more real for you because we think that helps you draw more power out |
| 0:17.1 | of them and we need all the help we can get i I'm your host Kerry Mielstein and while in some |
| 0:21.1 | ways this is the last episode of the the Doctrine and Covenants Church History year, it's also the first |
| 0:27.7 | episode of the new or the Old Testament year. We're going to start doing a format that we hope |
| 0:33.1 | you'll enjoy through the Old Testament year. We're doing this because we've got a lot of feedback |
| 0:37.1 | on what people would like and so we're going to have various segments where I'll often introduce what's going on, not always, but we'll have sometimes roundtable segments where I had different people as we discussed different topics. This one will have a roundtable discussion in it. We'll have sometimes segments on archaeology, most quite frequently, segments on language, |
| 0:57.8 | segments on history and geography and all sorts of different guests for shorter segments that help us do more in a short amount of time. |
| 1:07.8 | We're also going to have fantastic stuff on our Patreon website, where |
| 1:11.5 | we're going to do full lessons, we're including footage from Israel that I've taken and we've |
| 1:16.4 | paid to get drone footage and so on. We want to help you get as much as you can out of the |
| 1:21.5 | Old Testament. So in this episode, which is your Christmas episode and the transition, I'm going to say just a few words now. |

| 1:40.3 | Then I'm going to wrap up with some some looking at some various prophecies and a Christmas |
| 1:47.4 | message and a way of tying both Old Testament and Doctrine and Covenants together as part of |
| 1:52.3 | our Christmas message. What I want to do is encourage you in this first little message that I'm |
| 1:58.1 | doing here. I want to encourage you both here at Christmas |
| 2:02.3 | time and throughout the entire Old Testament year to approach each come follow me lesson with the |
| 2:08.8 | question, what can I learn about the nature of God and his son Jesus Christ, also known as |
| 2:15.7 | Jehovah? Each episode that I do, each reading assignment, each |
| 2:22.7 | week, you should be looking for that. President Nelson asked us to each week try and study the |
| 2:28.7 | atoning sacrifice of Christ, and this will help with that, but I'm also encouraging us to learn something about God and Christ so we can draw closer to them. |
