Course Description
This six-lecture Ariel College Short Course traces messianic prophecy from Genesis to Revelation. The presentations examine key passages concerning Yeshua's First Coming and the biblical promises of His return as the Coming King. They also explore the biblical covenants, Israel's national restoration, and the future Messianic Kingdom.
Lectures 1–2 draw on the structure and emphases of Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum's Ha-Mashiach: The Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures. Lectures 3–6 draw on The Footsteps of the Messiah and dispensational premillennial teaching.
Tier 4 offers a simple way to engage with this teaching: watch the lecture presentations at your own pace, reflect on the biblical passages, and return to the videos whenever you wish during your access period.
