Posts relating to Jesus in the Old Testament
I was teaching through Exodus recently when someone asked me if I had seen The-Bible-Projects video on Exodus… I hadn’t but I have now and it was excellent… and given that I’m pulling bits out of books rather than review the whole story of each book in my posts I thought I should post some Read More …
The roots, shoots and fruits of the א-apleh ת-tav. The first, the last, the biggest sacrifice on a cross. For something written on the same subject see Jesus, first and last!
This post is part of a series, see Jesus’ life in his ancestors and The glory descends. In these last two posts we looked at standard meanings for the names of Jesus’ ancestors and discovered that they formed short prophetic statements. We had come to Enoch and had various options such as: “Multi-part God the Read More …
(This is a follow up post to Jesus life in his ancestors). In the last post we explored a couple of way of reading the names of Jesus’ ancestors from Elohim (God) to Kenan(Begotten or Sorrowful) could be read as “Multi-God the builder is appointed mortal born sorrowful” or “God a man is appointed mortal Read More …

I’ve just spotted this… I’ve had a hunch for a while that I would spot more in Genesis 1:1 than I’ve already written up (see “Jesus in the Beginning”) and I just saw a description of the pictographic roots of the words “Father” and “Son” in Hebrew, (which will need a future post too) and Read More …
Test your knowledge of how Jesus appears in the first book of the Bible. This is a short quiz, just 11 questions, it doesn’t by any stretch cover all that could be said about Jesus in Genesis… but it is fun and if you get the question correct there is often a extra bit of Read More …
The Sci-fi writer and gnostic theologiser Philip K Dick once helped an African man in a petrol station, I dont know the details of the encounter, but there was something about it that led Philip K Dick to believe it was a re-interpretation of the story of Philip meeting the Ethopian on the road to Read More …
