John 12

I. Review of Mary and Martha

A)   Works versus love—(I Cor. 13:3)

B)   How are we identified as Christians?  (John 13:34, 35) If we are loving, we will bear much fruit...we are image bearers. 

C)   How do we get love? (Hebrew Ahab and Hessed)  (II Peter 1:5-7) Virtue went out from Jesus when the woman touched his hem. Goal for a Christian, be complete. Change from a Martha to a Mary

John 12:27-50

• His soul was troubled, but now He focuses on Satan being cast out. Victory over death. Gen3:15
• Now shall the ruler of this world be cast out.
•  See Jn 16:11, 14:30, Eph6:12
• And I, when I am lifted up, I will draw all (people to myself)...EVERYONE and everything to Himself and back to His Father
• 
  
• V33 John's transitional statement

Zechariah 2 - Visions 2 & 3

Zechariah means Jehovah remembers. His dad's name means ? 

Angels are always helper angels. 

Holy Spirit is really our teacher.  He teaches us ALL things.

This book is quoted frequently in NT. Like Rev. With 500 OT references.

Vision 2 - horns - meaning? Righteous? What is the Greek? Vision 1-- measuring line. V15-16 get expanded in later verses.

Selah - means consider or think about it. Joshua 1:8 word means ruminate-bring back up again and again.

Lord will make you dig when studying scripture.

Measuring line in Ezekiel. Largest temple complex in the world. Measuring line usually means an expansion. Dedication of wall starts a timeline. Daniels time. Zechariah is dated in Gentile time - Luke 21.

Biography of Jerusalem - read 

Apple of my eye - in this verse it is the pupil. focused.

Zechariah

Vision over eight parts.

Angel of the Lord is preincarnate Christ.

First part. Man is Angel of the Lord. First Angel of the Lord was to Haggar while fleeing from Sarah. Genesis c16,-18, 21,22,24. Exodus 3:6, Joshua 5:13. 1 Chronicles 21:12-17. Red horse signifies war. Represents Israel's blood. Revelation 6:4. 

There is an angel with Zechariah the whole time. Different from Angel of the Lord.

Other colored horses are looking through the earth. White horse represents victory. So, things wee happening in the world to cause change. Things are happening in the world today for the same reason...God is working on people. Yet, people are accountable for their own actions.

Myrtle trees are indicative of Israel. Angel of Lord on a red horse. Angel of Lord (preincarnate Christ) is destroying Israel. Asks how long God will punish them. 

The Exiled Life 1Peter 1 - Hope

Hope. How to survive as an exile? Hope!

V3a. Who is God? God is the Father of Jesus, His Son.

3a Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 


V3b. Who am I?  We are sons and daughters of God.

3b In his great mercy (pity or compassion) he has given us new birth into a living hope (Spiritually, God's blood goes through our veins) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (this is our hope),...

V4. What does my future look like? Hope! Inheritance is forever, and it is secure forever!

4 ...and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you.

V5. How long? When God decides.  What is the inheritance? V8-Jesus

5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

John 13

I)     The Upper Room Discourse—John 13-17
A)   The Olivet Discourse is given in Matthew, Mark, and Luke
B)   It occurs on the first day of Unleavened Bread (Passover)
1)   Passover, 14th of Nissan—(Matt. 26:17; Mark 14:12; Luke 22:7)
2)   The actual meal is served after dark—(Luke 22:14-23)
3)   The dispute that occurs at dinner—(Luke 22:24)
II)   The John account of Jesus’ actions—John 13:1-6
A)   Facts for the believer
1)   The Love of Christ
2)   Loved (aorist) them to the end (Telious)—Phil 1:6
3)   Jesus knew what was facing Him, no self absorption found here
4)   Do we know who we are?  Do we know where we are going?—John 13:3 - family is important (son of, son of,,etc.)
B)   The action of service
1)   He is wearing a tunic - not the outer garment but the under garment?. Garment with fringe and tassel - His rank shows with this. It is His authority. He is setting this aside.
2)   The act of foot washing - usually the lowest servants did this.
III) The teaching of this object lesson—John 13:7
A)   Like much of the rest of the Gospel of John, the disciples didn’t understand yet
1)   Know. The disciples didn’t “oida” (revealed knowledge) now, but they will “gnosco” (by experience you will know) later (by experience-in the trenches)
2)   If you do not wash, you have no part in Jesus. Washing - baths (had to take multiple nikvas to get into temple  - started at the bottom of the hill and bathed in different nikvas on the way - you had to be cleansed to be in the temple - you have to do it - no one else can do it for you)
(a) There is a once for all time washing, i.e. Heb. 10:10; 22
(b) There is a daily washing as in here—John 13:10 (Psalm 119:9; Eph. 5:26)
(c)  Jesus cleanses our daily walk
B)   Not all of the disciples were clean—John 13:10, 11, and 18. He chose Judas. Two sons of perdition in the Bible...Judas and Ahipafel (advisor to king? )- Bathsheba's grandfather?
1)   The trader was chosen
2)   This was to fulfill Scripture (compare Psalm 41:9 to John 13:18). Difference - not his friend and doesn't trust him. Dissect or divide the scriptures.
C)   The punch line--John 13:12
1)   Teacher and kurios (authority) - kurios is Lord. "Ought" means you owe this to fellow Christians. Fiduciary responsibility puts their needs above yours-foot washing
2)   Do as I do (We owe this to Him)
3)   Verily, Verily if you know this truth and obey it, it will lead to blessing—John 13:16, 17
4)   This foot washing demonstrates Jesus’ service and humility—(Phil. 2:3-8)
5)   Compare this truth with the history that is written beforehand regarding the Church (Rev. 2, 3)
(a) The Nicolaitans (Rev 2:6)
(b) It has become the doctrine of the Nicolaitans  (Rev. 2:15)

Themes from John 19

Isaiah 40-50? shows what is to come
Isaiah 55 no more thorns (acacia wood is Gopher wood family (ark) and was used to make crown of thorns-thorns have hooks).

Ark-uses pitch on outside of ark (copher-cover-
Two angels sitting at either end is the word and means atonement). Acacia used to reference Christ's crown of thorns.

Ark of Coventry is made of acacia wood and gold (medals are significant). 30 is bought out with blood. Silver -tabernacle rests on it and it means blood. Gold is associated with deity.

Mercy seat was solid gold with cherubim facing each other with wins over the top. This is a similitude or type.

Tomb - May only one who seems to understand Jesus is going to die-anointed him with oil. The body was missing but the face cloth was still there. Face cloth was folded neatly - Jews won't handle body because of blood and Sabbath, so would have been done quickly like then-so off out was folded neatly. Two angels were sitting at either end of Jesus open tomb-symbol of ark of covenant. While Bible is about Jesus Christ - prepared ahead of time.  Shroud of Turin is false because can't be a whole cloth just a face cloth???

Joseph & Jesus similarities - coat had sleeves- maybe seamless? Imprisoned with cupbearer and baker. O one sites other lives. When Jesus was crucified with two- and one saved and one lost. Both rejected by brothers. Both glorified later.

Phrophecy - Leviticus 23 outlines all of them.
  14th is Passover
  15th is unleavened bread - high Sabbath-can't have someone hanging on cross during that time.  Three days and three nights.

John 19:37 - They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced. "They shall look" is two letters (alpha and tal?) which translates to alpha and omega. Alpha is spelled out here because it is fulfilled. Omega is small because it was not fulfilled yet,,, day of atonement.

Tomb - will be a clean place - never been used- Joseph of Arimathea. Why clean? Numbers 19:9, 17 and John 2:6. Numbers- pure calf burned outside of camp completely and clean person comes along and cleans up the ashes and mixes water in it and sprinkles it. Can't purify anything without water of separation. John 2- six pots used were water of purification pots. Six is number for incomplete, but Jesus completes it. Isaiah 52 "so shall He sprinkle many nation's" and He is marred beyond recognition.-Jesus literally sprinkled us with His blood. Many nations is just the believers?

Isaiah 52 tells you they ripped our His facial hair
