Plan of the Ages : THE MISSION
Though presented at a different time, the same rabbinical school is used and again little Joseph must wear his green robe with the golden sash belt. The students are asking questions about what the Messiah will do when He comes. The wise old rabbi reads from scrolls of several of the Old Testament prophecies, such as Psalms 22, Isaiah 53 and others. Then he exhorts his students by reading, “The eyes of the blind shall be opened, the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a deer, and the tongue of the dumb will sing. Students, when you see these things, follow that Man. It is He.”
After school is dismissed, Andrew, the first of the disciples to meet Jesus, comes to the podium and pays us a visit after two thousand years just to grace us with his first hand observations of the Greatest Story ever told. He constantly refers to the prophecies as they are fulfilled throughout the story. Within several places in the story, two different people are seen standing at a distance and observing. One is a lady dressed in scarlet and the other, a man with a blue robe with a golden sash belt. The lady turns out to be the sinful woman who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears and sings “The Song of the Sinful Woman.” The man is of course Joseph of Arimethea, the little boy who remembered the wise words of the old rabbi and who offers his tomb for Jesus’ burial. (Keep in mind, these scene descriptions are only role played on the stage if the personnel are available but are not necessary as the human mind can imagine the scene just as well as the Narrator describes the story.)
Many prophecies such as Psalm 22 describe in detail the events that paid for our sin and are presented in such a way that a strong presentation can be made to bring souls to the Lord. “The Plan of the Ages - The Mission” continues through the resurrection with powerful choral music and doesn’t conclude until the angel tells the audience, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
