Does the guy know what you do with a lamb in the old covenant? So then, if Christ comes along and is introduced as the lamb of God, does he then know what THAT means?
He will be called Jeshua because he will save his people from their sins.--birth announcement.
'you will give his people the knowledge of salvation /
through the forgiveness of sins.'--another birth announcement
Point 1-the lamb was not the sin offering, and the "lamb of God" passages, was not about sin bearing.
Point 2-in Mt.-John, prior to the dbr, that the 12 had no idea of the impending dbr. It was hid from them :
1.The 12 did not know of the impending dbr-it was hid from them-
"For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after
that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him." Mark 9:31-32 KJV
"Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and
the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken." Luke 18:31-34 KJV
"
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead." John 20:9 KJV
2. Peter tried to prevent the Lord Jesus Christ's death, and His death was a key component of 1 Cor. 15:1-4:
"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and b
e killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee" Mt. 16:21-22 KJV
"And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and
be killed, and after three days rise again. And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him." Mark 8:31-32
John 18:10 KJV
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
3. Even after the Lord's death, burial, and resurrection, the 12 intially did not believe it:
"And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
doubted." Mt. 28:17 KJV
"And they, when they had heard
that he was alive, and had been seen of her,
believed not. After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. And they went and told it unto the residue:
neither believed they them. Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen." Mark 16:11 KJV
"And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto
the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not." Luke 24:9-11 KJV
" And while t
hey yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?" Luke 24:41 KJV
Nowhere,in Mt.-John, prior to the dbr, was 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV ever preached by anyone as a basis for justification. Chapter and verse prior to the dbr in Mt.-John. You won't find it. It is not there. It was hid from them. They were preaching, at least prior to the dbr in Mt.-John, a "the" gospel, but it was not 1 Cor. 15:1-4-it was "the" gospel of the kingdom, and these are not synonomys terms.
