Our series Ultimate Hope Has a Name continues in this episode that looks into hope’s Old Testament past. Biblical hope focuses on the fulfillment of ancient promises that God made and that gather around a coming Messiah-King. What are those promises, and how does a future Israelite king relate to them? Ron and John discuss how those hopes for a Messiah developed in ancient Israel and why they became important to the intense expectations that arose in the years before Jesus’ birth.
