Intricate Bible Details

Recently, we have started watching Bible in 24 Hours. This DVD set by Chuck Missler, is absolutely fascinating, and the things that he picks out that we wouldn't even think about are amazing. We are up to Hour 7, are are learning about the monarchy. As he says: The New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, and The Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. After all I have been learning, my head is bursting with little things and I thought I would share them with you.

Did you know?

• The genealogy of David is written in Genesis (albeit hidden)
• Have you ever wondered why David picked up 5 river stones, when he only required one to bring down Goliath. David was simply being prepared, as Goliath had 4 other brothers. He was ready to take them all on. The 4 brothers of Goliath were later killed by David's mighty men
• Did you ever wonder what would have happened if Saul had completely destroyed the agagites? There would have been no Haman
• What about if David had killed Shimei, the man that curse him and his troops? There would have been no Mordecai
• What about this: Adam         Man is
  Seth                                    appointed
  Enosh                                 mortal
  Renan                                 sorrow but
  Mahalalel                            The Blessed God
  Jared                                  Shall come down
  Enoch                                 Teaching (that)
  Methusalah                         his death shall bring
  Lamech                              The despairing
  Noah                               Comfort Rest
  That is a prophecy about Jesus, hidden in names of people, all the way back in Genesis
• 40 hours to get out of Egypt, 40yrs to get Egypt out of Israel
• Joshua vs Ephesian:
  Entering and Possessing                  Entering and Possessing
  Earthly Inheritance                            Heavenly Inheritance
  Given In Abraham                             Given in Christ

• That Ruth actually goes against what the laws require show a parallel to Jesus. The law requires Ruth to go to the kinsman redeemer, but Boaz goes instead is one such example.
• Saul’s early promise vs. later decline:
  Striking Physically     Impatient
  Modest                    Violating priests prerogative
  Direct
  Generous
