Summary

Some think that New Testament writers abuse the Old Testament when it comes to interpreting prophecy. In this study you will see that there are different kinds of fulfilled prophecy and why it is sometimes hard to tell how an Old Testament passage is connected to Jesus. Understanding direct fulfillment, typological fulfillment, double fulfillment and analogical fulfillment is key to being able to understand how the New Testament handles fulfilled prophecy. This is part 9 in the Jesus in the Old Testament Playlist - Here is the whole playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWlpQauXiTU&index=1&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsHyvMtfgOgSPU6zEnCvxUO

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. We're going to deal with the issue tonight of the fact
0:11.0	that prophecy is confusing. It is confusing. Prophecy is probably the most
0:16.4	challenging subject in the Bible and let me illustrate for you if I can. I remember getting a tract that was that you know you go witnessing with these you hand these out and it had on it like something like 50 prophecies of Jesus on this track and I was like oh yes I love prophecy it's such perfect evidence to prove God and prove Jesus
0:35.8	So I get this track and before I handed it out I wanted to look into it
0:40.4	So I check these prophecies and I go home and I open my Bible and I'm looking up the references and I'm reading them and I go like
0:48.2	Some of these are like not things I would want someone to look up
0:52.3	Like you know Jesus would do this.
0:54.0	And you have a verse reference there, and I look up the verse,
0:56.0	and I go, nah.
0:58.0	And I did not use that tract.
1:00.0	Now, if I was aprose my own prophecy track to show Jesus it would not have 300 prophecies.
1:07.0	I would put like five because I'm going here's some that are like clear in the text that are really good for proving the Bible
1:13.8	true but in reality we sometimes hear about there's 300 prophecies of Jesus
1:19.2	there's four five hundred prophecies of Jesus and I'm always like you know I don't know if you notice this I never say that and here's and tonight I'll explain why I'll explain why because what we don't want to do is overreact because this is what happens. Some people realize that some of these
1:33.6	prophecies of Jesus are not so obvious are not so clear and look like they're
1:38.9	really about someone else when you're reading the Old Testament and so then they
1:42.2	think oh this prophecy thing is a sham. And I've even
1:45.8	heard teachers, like professor teachers say that prophecies basically, they just, you know, whatever they wanted with the old
1:53.2	testament and I'm like no that's not true that's the overreaction that's false
1:57.0	but then there's the underreaction where we try to take every possible type or foreshadowing or analogy of Jesus in the Old Testament
2:05.7	and offer it as prophetic proof for Christ and I think that that can be a mistake.
