Why Did Jesus Send 70 Disciples?

How do the 70 (or 72) disciples, sent out by Jesus, point to the worldwide mission of the church? What is the symbolism of wiping the dust from one’s feet? How is language about the fall of the King of Babylon applied to Capernaum? How did Sodom’s grotesque breach of hospitality apply to other cities? Which Jewish literature uses “lambs in the midst of wolves” to describe God’s people surrounded by the 70 wolfish nations of the world? In this week’s “Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes,” Chad Bird takes us through Luke 10:1-20 to see how the Old Testament aids our understanding of the mission of Christ’s disciples.

Blessings brother Chad. I have taken theology courses yet I find it very insightful and helpful in my growth how you present each class. This one in particular has answered some of my questions. Thank you and I hope that you continue teaching through your ministry. I believe that many people can learn and grow through your simple yet profound teaching of the scriptures.

Excellent deep dive, Chad. The Essene connections further underscore Jesus as King, Priest and Prophet of the Order of Melchizedek forever. Glory to God for this teaching. Thank you, brother. PS, I was blessed to be the 70th like for this video!

Please record with a higher volume.

Sorry you’re having issues with it. It is already set to the maximum volume.

Yes, there was a lot of teaching that can lead to wisdom in it. It. My favorite part was when you mentioned the double negative in Greek. But that just may be because I'm weird. Thank you

Hi Chad, Brother I love your teachings and how you take that deep dive into them. But this is a question I have for some time that I haven't heard anyone answer yet. The lost tribes, which I understand to be the House of Israel, the ten tribes to the north were long gone by the time Jesus comes onto the stage of history. And as they are described in the book of Hosea they were to be scattered, not having obtained mercy, and not recognized as God's people according to the names of the children by Hosea and Gomer. So when Jesus sends out the twelve to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" is He literally sending them to the lost tribes or to the Jews who have not yet believed in Jesus, that are of the whole house of Israel? I believe Jesus knew where the lost tribes were even though they were scattered, but didn't they ultimately lose their own identity and not remember who they were? And my other question is, I believe history reveals to us that James' letter went to the churches in Rome but he addressed his letter to the "twelve tribes which are scattered abroad", so again if they were supposed to fit the description in Hosea how could he have know where they were excluding the House of Judah of course? And as long as I have your attention or if I have your attention, can you tell me if Paul's letter to the Romans was a rebuttal to James' letter? Plus I was happy to get like number " 72 " above! 👍😇

I couldn’t find the verses that you mentioned. You said song the psalm of Solomon 8:27-28 , do you mean psalm 8:27-28? I couldn’t find it. Thx for your reply

If you could unpack Romans 9 and Ephesians 1 that would be great!!!!

[@davel2969]

Thank you Chad! these videos are ALWAYS helpful for our devotionals and preparing for the upcoming Divine Service and pericopes. Quick question - does the Luke 10:18 verse " I was seeing Satan fall..." have any (additional) parallel reference to Rev. 12:7 ? - Just curious. Thank you again for sharing your gifts here. The peace of Christ be with you and your family.

[@chadbird1517]

Thanks, Dave! Yes, I think the Rev. 12 text is parallel to this. One gets the impression that, in Luke 10, Jesus is using that initial Satan's fall (really expulsion) from heaven as a way of explaining how Satan is continually falling, being defeated, when the Kingdom is proclaimed.

What was this urgent message that the 70 were teaching? Now after someone is answered that question and they feel confident that I like to ask one more question. But please don't cheat but rather read why the 70 were sent and what they were told to teach. Now I want to ask a question about the 12 apostles. What were they told to go and teach after the crucifixion and Resurrection?

When God uses numerical numbers it doesn't mean confusion Rather it's interconnected to all His Perfection.

A better question is WHERE not WHY, did Jesus send the original disciples? Here from Scripture... And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:" 6 But go rather to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." NOTICE he did not send them to the lost sheep of the "House of Judah. The Jews knew they were Israelites, The lost sheep of "the house of Israel" had lost their identity and didn't "know" they were Israelites. THAT is why they are described as "lost."

The Gospel: Plain and Simple “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3 Ask someone today if they are saved and you will most likely hear responses like these: “I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually knows the gospel that saves them. These use￾less phrases don’t describe a thing about what the gospel is and has left a devastating effect of people not knowing what it is that they are saved from nor how they are saved; which leaves a more serious effect of people ques￾tioning their salvation. Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salva￾tion that is in Christ with vague church sounding phrases that do not communicate anything. But rather present God’s word with clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel: plain and simple. Sin was passed upon all men by one man Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin (Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good works one might do we are still found sinners in the sight of our Creator God. And all un￾righteousness and those who follow get in￾dignation and wrath. We cannot be found righteous for by God’s law we are found sin￾ners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even one law we are found guilty. It is for this reason of not being able to create our own righteousness and being born in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus 3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross 2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath and judgement that was intended for us sin￾ners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial, and resurrection on our behalf that we are able to have peace with God and forgiveness of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good news is unto all but only those that believe in it are made righteous in Christ (Romans 3:22). It is then after we have heard this good news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and we are now part of Christ’s body the church (Eph 1:13) There is nothing that we need to do, no good works that are required, and no bad works that can separate us from our new po￾sition in Christ (Romans 8:35-39). Faith and belief in this information from God’s word is the gospel. The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your heart. The gospel is not making him lord of your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not being baptized with water. So next time someone asks you if you are saved. Give them the clear assured answer Yes And let me tell you why Find more free resources at www.graceambassadors.com

Are you saying that there were no righteous men described by God within the Christian Old testament? I'm pretty sure that in your comment you said nobody was righteous and this is the reason we needed a savior and a sacrifice by that savior. Just want to make sure that you're saying no one was said to be righteous or maybe more than one person was said to be righteous by God within the Old testament of the Christians?

[@wardashimon-australia33]

@@choice12ozborne People have been righteous by faith but no one was perfect and without sins under the old testament law , God allowed sacrifices of animals to made to cover their sins it was a on going thing until Christ paid the dept today in this dispensation we are made righteous by grace threw faith. Romans 3:19-24 KJV - Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
