The Lord's Gospel - Part 16

In this part, we dive deep into Galatians 3. We analyze a proposed solution to the meaning of vs.1b regarding the public portrayal of Christ's crucifixion. We also discuss the description of the reception and working of the Spirit in the gatherings. The observation is made that Paul is actually describing the initial inauguration of the gatherings as New Covenant temples of God, and the continual workings of the Spirit in the gathering by way of miracles performed among them. We then review the teachings of the last part regarding vss. 6-14. Continuing on to vs. 15, we propose some ideas as to when the covenant of Abraham was ratified.
At this point, we proceed to investigate fully the statements by Paul regarding the promises being made to one seed, not seeds. Concerning this, we discuss the seed of Christ referenced in Isaiah 53:10-11 and the Branch of the Lord referenced in Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 11:1-3, 4:2-6; and Zechariah 6:11-13. We also take note the truth of the seed of Abraham being the seed of Christ does not preclude the prophesies concerning the restoration of Israel, as physical descendants of Israel. See Deuteronomy 30:1-14, 4:29-31; Hosea 3:5; Jeremiah 32:37--44; Ezekiel 36; Zechariah 8:7-8, to name a few.
Finally, we closely examine vss. 20-22 and propose what is suggested to be a better solution to the meaning of "and the mediator is not of one, and God is one" in vs. 20.
