Watch our November 30, 2022 adult Sunday school class taught by Tom Cantor (Matthew 26:57-65)

Watch our November 13, 2022 adult Sunday school class taught by Tom Cantor from Matthew 26:57-65.

Tom first read Matthew 26:57-68. He did this even though the teaching was on Matthew 26:57–65. Next, he reviewed the background concerning the betrayal in the garden.

Tom also made the following three contrast. First, he noted how the high priests were condemning the great high priest (Hebrew 7:24). Second, he pointed out the scribe, who were to have the knowledge of the Old Testament prophets were against the Truth (John 14:6). Third, he made the point that the elders, the rulers, were against “the only potentate, the king of kings” (I Timothy 6:15).

Tom also contrasted Jesus‘s treatment (verse 57) to that of the Passover lamb (John 1:29). And his examination (for 60) with the treatment of Stephen (acts 6:13) and how the Passover lamb was examined, too.

Tom also addressed the charges, the tactics used at the trial, and Jesus is confession that he was the Christ.

Review

“The Footprints of Messiah in the Feasts of the Lord” is a study of the Feasts of the Lord and their fulfillment by Jesus the Messiah (Christ). First, she analyzes the difference between figurative and literal. Next, she goes over the Feasts of the Lord in their biblical and historical keeping. Then she goes over the fulfillment of the Spring feast by Jesus. And then moves from there to the fulfillment of the rest of the feasts by Jesus the Messiah.

She includes not only the Feasts in Leviticus, but the other two feasts mentioned in the Bible Hanukkah (Chanukah) and Purim. Also, she analyzes the feasts in Leviticus in the context in which they are given. These includes the Sabbath and the gap between the spring and fall feasts.

She sums up with questions about keeping the Feasts today and showing how the Feasts are a picture the redemptive history and the Gospel itself.

She focuses on the Jesus Christ and is premillennial and restoration of Israel. Different people, even at Mission Valley Community Chapel (though we are Christ centered, pre-millennial, and restoration of Israel), have different views on some of the details of the Feasts and their fulfillment.

You can pick up a free copy at the Chapel. Even if you disagree with some of the details, you might find it thought-provoking!
