The Gap

by Walter Giddings

Is the Gap truth or theory? Where in the Scriptures do we find a gap?  How well did our fathers, living under the Old Covenant, understand the Messianic Prophecies? Are there Scriptures that reveal the people’s understanding in Jesus’ day?   

Part 1:  Do we see that Messianic prophecies are part of the law? “Signifying what death he should die.” The People in the day God Incarnate walked the earth, who “heard out of the law that Christ abideth forever” did they know that Christ must suffer and die!

Part 2:  We concluded in the prior Lesson, Part 1, in Luke 4:28-29, where we learned the whole Synagogue was filled with wrath, cast him out of the city and led him to the precipice of the hill on which Nazareth was built to “cast him down headlong”!.  What happened between Luke 4:22 and Luke 4:28?
