In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen welcomes back Seth Postell—a Messianic Jew, Academic Dean at Israel College of the Bible, and biblical scholar—for a deeper exploration of how the Torah’s eschatology points forward to the Messiah. Building on their earlier conversation, they dive into the Torah’s structure, Israel’s story of exile and restoration, and how both the prophets and the New Testament read Moses with messianic expectation.Together, they uncover how key passages—such as Zechariah 12, Isaiah 53, and the Torah’s prophetic poems—reveal that the hope of a Redeemer is embedded in the very fabric of Torah and all of Scripture from the beginning. Whether you’re passionate about biblical theology, fascinated by the continuity of Old and New Testaments, or seeking to see Jesus more clearly through the Law of Moses, this episode offers compelling insights into the unfolding story of God's redemption. 📢 Don’t Miss the Next Episode: In our next conversation, Daniel sits down with Robert Lane to explore how metaphors shape our reading of Matthew’s Gospel. Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction01:37 – Why the Torah’s Messianic Hope Still Matters04:28 – How the Torah’s Structure Points to a Redeemer14:38 – How the Prophets Read the Torah’s Future19:54 – Israel, the Nations, and the New Exodus24:09 – Zechariah 12: Unlocking the Torah’s Eschatology?27:09 – How the New Testament Reads the Torah38:18 – Eschatology: Messianic Themes in the Torah’s Poems44:47 – How the Old Testament Interprets the Torah50:05 – Exile and Restoration: A Messianic Theme55:50 – What the Law Means After Jesus01:01:50 – How the Torah Deepens Our Understanding of Jesus Music Credits: Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/aspire Please, let us know what you thoughts on the episode.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, please consider becoming an Explorer!
