Comfort in Chaotic Times
Welcome to Session 5 of the Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament online Bible study! In this session, learn the comfort we have in chaotic times. We’ll dive into another messianic psalm: Psalm 2. We’re excited to study this with you!

Ms. Jean – could not find the document on the sub page – thank you for this perfectly timed lesson in these chaotic times – Holy Spirit led for sure.
Oops! I forgot to post it. It’s there now. (And thank YOU for the encouragement.)
Hmm. Did anyone else lose audio and CC for about 30 seconds at minute 6?
Sorry to hear that! I listened from 5:30 to 7:20 in the original, and there was nothing missing. I’ll wait to hear from anyone else, but I suspect an Internet connection problem. Thanks for letting me know.
Mary, it was missing the audio for 6:04-6:30, just as you noticed! I uploaded the video again and listened to it all the way through. It looks like YouTube processed it without glitches this time (although there’s a slight audio lag). I linked this page to the new upload. Thanks for both letting me know and telling me the location of the problem.
How you explain the different thing you talked about.
2.on page 60. At the bottom of page when it stayed. For David, the path to the crown was through suffering. It just remind me that we have to surfer you.
He hears me and He will take care of me.
He took my place. I am a sinful person and He gave His life so I can spend enteral with Him. Praise Jesus for that and saving my soul.
Hi, Becky. Just as for Jesus, the path to the crown was through suffering. Wow–that always amazes me. Praise Jesus!!
I was really comforted by the last statement in verse 12. Thank you for pointing that out.
Jesus’ journey to His glory was through suffering, how ironical and tough it was. But thank God for such a great example.
Yes, thank God!
Yes, I lost audio in the video too – right at the beginning of the talk about the “3rd Speech.”
The video: this isn’t our permanent home! God will make all things right.
The chapter: I hadn’t realized how much David suffered. When I normally think of David, I think of Goliath, Bathsheeba, a shepherd, and how he was a man after God’s heart. Plus there was a reason God didn’t allow him to build the temple. But the questions about Psalm 22 showed me David’s suffering in a real way.
Question 18: It helps me know God is present, even though I lose sight of him
Question 42: That Jesus went “through” the darkness; he didn’t stay there.
Thanks, Debbie–I’ll listen through the uploaded video later today and see what’s happening. 1) Yes!! 2) David wrote most of the psalms in Book 1 (3-41) before he was crowned. That explains why so many of them are about suffering. They tell us so much about him. 3) Yes. 4) That gives us so much hope!
Debbie, I uploaded the video again and this time YouTube processed it without any audio glitches. I’ve linked to the new upload.Thanks again for letting me know.
Thanks Jean. The video is working with with no lapse in audio now.
