Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast
Old men are often said to have ”one foot in the grave” but those whose trust is wholly in Jesus Christ for time and eternity are not looking forward to the grave but to glory, for the Bible says that to be ”absent from the body” is to be ”present with the Lord”. At the age of 87, therefore, I have chosen this name for my new podcast which will feature videos of talks, comments and lectures about the Bible and science and also Bible expositions.
Listen on:

The book of Judges records the chaotic period Israel's history that followed the death of Joshua, during which the nation entered a period of cyclic rejection of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to worship the evil Canaanite deities. But true to His promises, YAHWEH kept Israel from spiritual disaster by sending "Judges" who restored the nation to genuine faith following each period of apostasy until the nation installed a King, who was a "type" of the promised Messiah. We draw the unmistakable lessons for the churches today.

Revisiting Luke 15's parable of the prodigal son, we examine the symbolism of the four gifts father bestows on his shamed and repentant son when he returns in humility to cast himself on his father's mercy. We examine these four gifts; the robe of royalty; the ring of authority, sandals (worn only by the privileged), and the fatted calf (killed only when the firstborn son marries). We see how these gifts foreshadow the spiritual riches conferred upon all who trust savingly in Christ ... the robe of Christ's righteousness; the spiritual wedding-ring that unites us to Christ; the sandals that denote our walk with Christ; and the faith by which we feed upon Him daily.

Throughout our study of the Book of Esther we have insisted that its chief spiritual message (and thus the reason for its inclusion in the Bible) is that God is sovereign over the history of mankind ... "The Most High rules in the kingdom of men" (Dan. 4:32). In this next-to-last episode we underline this conclusion by revisiting three separate passages in the Book which illustrate and confirm our assertions and point out how they apply to us today.
