Episode 4 – The Messiah from Psalm 2 to Genesis 3:15

In this episode, Brian Overholtzer continues the three-part series on the Messiah in Psalm 2 by tracing the messianic language from Psalm 2 back through 1 Samuel 2:10, Numbers 24:7–9, Genesis 49:8–12, and ultimately to Genesis 3:15.

Listeners will explore how the exalted king of Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2 echoes Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24 which echoes Jacob’s blessing of Judah in Genesis 49.

These Old Testament texts anticipate the coming of a royal deliverer—Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah—who will rule the nations with divine authority.

This episode concludes with a pastoral reminder: history centers on Jesus, and though the world may oppose God's people, believers share in Christ’s promised victory and kingdom.

🎙️ Episode 3 — Who Is the Anointed One in Psalm 2? Part 1

In this episode, Brian Overholtzer begins a three-part study of the “Anointed One” in Psalm 2:2. By comparing Psalm 2 with Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2:10, he explores three shared expressions: “His Anointed,” “My King,” and “the ends of the earth.”

These connections show how Psalm 2 points beyond David to Yahweh’s Messiah, the king who will rule from Zion and exercise authority over the nations.

Discover how this foundational prophecy introduces the conflict between the serpent and the promised offspring of the woman, and how the rest of Scripture connects this promise to Jesus’ death on the cross.
