In this message we study how Paul used Psalm 68:18 to refer to Christ's ascension and sending of the spiritual gifts in Ephesians 4:8.

We defend the notion that Paul did not distort or rewrite Psalm 68:18's original meaning, but he interpreted Psalm 68:18 in accordance with the original intent given by David. 

We demonstrate that Paul saw David's ascent to earthly Zion as similar in significance to Christ's ascent to the heavenly Zion. Come and learn for yourself how profound Paul's understanding of the Old Testament really was.
