Generally I’ve learned to very carefully approach any video that ends with ‘SHOCKING,’ ‘AMAZED,’ ‘REVEALED,’ etc. I can’t speak with much authority about this particular topic and perhaps this is a cool little thing that God hid in the text. However, I doubt it.
a) Jesus is never recorded as having pointed to this passage. As He is establishing his kingdom and getting everything in order, this would be a pretty easy prophecy to point out. But he doesn’t, which begs the question what was its purpose then? Okay, so perhaps there were other passages that Jesus didn’t point to which perhaps obviously do point to Him, which brings me to my 2nd point.
b) Translation is REALLY tricky. I randomly picked Methuselah and you can also translate that name as “Man with a Javelin.” Of course, this doesn’t fit very neatly with the preacher’s message.
c) Finally, and I’ve referenced this elsewhere so I apologize for the repetition, but is ‘bringing comfort’ the point of Jesus life and death? At the moment I’d say that I wasn’t so sure. Once again, see N.T. Wright.
In short, it looks cool but worth the same skepticism you would bring to a person predicting the end times based on a similar approach to scripture.
Respectfully,
Jim
