MAJOR OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES OF THE MESSIAH


Psalms 2:7

*The Messiah's Triumph and Kingdom*

Each time a legitimate son of David was crowned King as the successor to his father in the city of Jerusalem, these words could be used of him.

The new King was adopted by God as His "son"; he would look to God as his "Father".

2 Samuel 7:5,14.

This formula of adoption was announced in a solemn ceremony of coronation attended by priests and prophets, with pomp and celebratory worship of God.

In the New Testament, the Son of God is also declared to be the King, the true Anointed, the Christ.

Matthew 3:17

Mark 1:1, 11

Luke 3:22

John 1:18

Acts 13:33

Hebrews 1:5; 5:5.

THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY

 *THE ROYAL HOUSE OF TROY* The traditional founder of Troy's famed royal house was Dardanus, a few generations prior to Tros and Ilus: "Dardanus, in Greek legend, the son of Zeus and the Pleiad Electra, mythical founder of Dardania on the Hellespont (the nearby strait separating Dardania from Hellas or Greece now called the Dardanelles). He was the ancestor of the Dardans of the Troad (the region surrounding Troy)... "According to tradition ... Dardanus fled from Arcadia (in the middle of Mycenaean Greece) across the sea to Samothrace (a northern Aegean island). When that island was visited by a flood, he crossed over to the Troad ... Being hospitably received by Teucer (ruler of Phrygia), he married Teucer's daughter Bateia and became the founder of the royal house of Troy"  ("Dardanus, "Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropaedia, 1985, Vol.3, p.884). In his acclaimed *Story of Civilization*, historian Will Durant writes: "Who were the Trojans? An Egypt

WILL JESUS FIND FAITH?

  *WILL JESUS FIND FAITH?* *In times of crisis more people turn to God, yet usually for only a short time. Will we break the pattern?* Jesus posed a startling question to His disciples in *Luke 18:8: "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"* Faith in God is diminishing day by day, year by year. Statisticians and researchers have produced many reports showing the decline of faith in America and the Western world. When a crisis strikes our world - be it a war, a terrorist attack or a health pandemic - we often see short-lived return to faith. More prayers go up to God for a short while. Recent Pew research polling has found that most people are praying more during the coronavirus outbreak than before. But the pattern we've seen before is that as a great crisis is resolved and fades, life goes back to normal. Churches are mostly empty again. What are people thinking, and does it matter? Why should we be concerned about what society at large believ
