01:03 BY THE FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:08 ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ATTRACTIONS 01:10 IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA 01:12 IS THE ICONIC GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. 01:15 DURING ITS CONSTRUCTION, THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 01:18 HAD ONE OF THE BEST SAFETY CONSTRUCTION RECORDS 01:20 OF ANY PROJECT DURING THAT TIME. 01:23 BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME RISKS, 01:25 THE CHIEF ENGINEER WAS ABSOLUTELY ADAMANT 01:27 ABOUT THEIR USING THE MOST RIGOROUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 01:30 THAT HAD EVER BEEN USED IN BRIDGE BUILDING. 01:33 BUT THE MOST CONSPICUOUS SAFETY MEASURE 01:35 WAS A GIGANTIC NET SUSPENDED FROM END-TO-END 01:39 UNDER THE BRIDGE ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE BAY. 01:42 DURING CONSTRUCTION, 01:43 THIS NET SAVED THE LIVES OF 19 MEN 01:47 WHO WERE LATER KNOWN AS THE HALF WAY TO HELL CLUB. 01:49 WITH THE NET IN PLACE, 01:51 THESE MEN WERE MUCH MORE COURAGEOUS 01:52 AND BRAVE DURING CONSTRUCTION 01:54 BECAUSE THEY KNEW THERE WAS A MECHANISM TO PROTECT THEM 01:57 IF THEY SHOULD FALL. 01:58 FRIENDS, AS CHRISTIANS WE GET TO PARTICIPATE WITH JESUS 02:02 IN BUILDING A BRIDGE 02:04 THAT WILL CONNECT HEAVEN AND EARTH. 02:06 THERE ARE DANGERS ALONG THE WAY, 02:08 BUT JESUS HAS PROMISED TO PROTECT US, 02:10 AND WE DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID. 02:12 SO JOIN ME NOW AS WE DISCOVER THE FASCINATING BIBLE FACTS 02:16 ABOUT THE HERO OF REVELATION. 02:22 DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THERE WAS THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL 02:25 THAT REALLY SURPRISED EVERYBODY. 02:27 HIS NAME WAS JOSHUA LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN. 02:30 HE WAS ACTUALLY FROM MAINE. 02:32 HE WAS A SCHOOLTEACHER, ENGLISH MAJOR, 02:34 ACTUALLY MAJORED IN RHETORIC AND DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, 02:37 SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING OF A BOOKWORM. 02:39 BUT HE HAD VERY STRONG CONVICTIONS ABOUT SLAVERY. 02:43 AND WHEN, FINALLY, THE CIVIL WAR BROKE OUT, 02:47 EVEN THOUGH HIS FAMILY WAS VERY RELIGIOUS 02:49 AND HE, MAYBE, WAS A PACIFIST BY NATURE, 02:51 HE THOUGHT THE CAUSE DESERVES 02:54 THAT WE LAY OUR LIVES DOWN FOR THIS, 02:56 AND HE JOINED THE FORCES. 02:58 BECAUSE OF HIS EDUCATION THEY QUICKLY PROMOTED HIM. 03:01 AND THE NEXT THING HE KNEW, 03:03 HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. 03:05 SOME OF THE SOLDIERS UNDER HIM WERE A LITTLE WORRIED. 03:08 THEY SAID, "THIS GUY IS ALWAYS READING. 03:10 HE'S A BOOKWORM, HE'S A LAMB." 03:12 AND HE SEEMS SO POLITE AND HE SEEMS SO ARTICULATE, 03:14 THEY THOUGHT, "WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO ON THE BATTLEFIELD?" 03:17 WELL, IT TURNED OUT, IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST 03:19 AND THE BLOODIEST BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR, 03:21 THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, 03:24 50,000 PEOPLE DIED IN ONE DAY. 03:28 IT'S BEEN THE BLOODIEST BATTLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY, 03:31 IN ANY OF OUR WARS. 03:33 THE SOUTH WAS TRYING TO TAKE THIS HILL, 03:36 AND THEY WERE TRYING TO FLANK AROUND THE TROOPS OF THE NORTH, 03:40 AND CHAMBERLAIN KNEW 03:41 THAT HE NEEDED TO HOLD THAT HILL AT ALL COST 03:44 AND THEY... 03:45 FOR THREE DAYS, THE BATTLE RAGED, 03:47 AND THE SOUTH CONTINUED TO THROW SOLDIERS AT THAT HILL 03:50 TRYING TO GET BEHIND THE TROOPS AND TO DEFEAT THEM. 03:55 AND THEY FOUGHT THE GROUP FROM MAINE THAT HE WAS OVER, 03:58 THEY FOUGHT UNTIL THEY RAN OUT OF AMMUNITION. 04:01 AND FINALLY, HE TOLD THEM, "FIX YOUR BAYONETS AND CHARGE." 04:05 WHEN THEY WERE COMING UP THE HILL AFTER THEM, 04:07 HE TOLD HIS MEN TO CHARGE BACK AT THEM 04:09 WITH JUST BAYONETS. 04:11 AND IT SO TERRIFIED THE SOUTHERNERS 04:14 THAT THEY TURNED AND THEY RAN. 04:16 THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF BULLETS. 04:19 THEY LATER CALLED HIM, INSTEAD OF THE LAMB, 04:21 THEY CALLED HIM THE LION OF LITTLE ROUND TOP. 04:24 LITTLE ROUND TOP WAS THE HILL THAT THEY WERE DEFENDING. 04:27 WELL, YOU KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE COMES AGAIN, 04:29 HE'S COMING LIKE A LION. 04:31 WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME, HE CAME LIKE A LAMB. 04:34 BUT HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE. 04:38 AND OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT, 04:39 DEALING WITH THE HERO OF REVELATION, 04:42 IS PART OF OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER SERIES. 04:45 I'VE GOT A LOT OF MATERIAL TO COVER. 04:47 YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A PEN OR PENCIL HANDY 04:49 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME NOTES. 04:51 WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT PROPHECIES IN REVELATION, 04:54 IN DANIEL, AND ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, 04:57 THAT SHOW US WHO JESUS IS, 05:00 SO WE CAN KNOW THAT HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS. 05:04 IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9. 05:07 DANIEL IS PRAYING. 05:09 GOD'S PEOPLE ARE CAPTIVES IN BABYLON. 05:11 HE'S SAYING, "WE'VE BEEN HERE 70 YEARS." 05:14 DANIEL IS READING THE PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH 05:17 THAT SAID AFTER 70 YEARS THEY WOULD GO HOME. 05:18 SO EVEN DANIEL READ THE PROPHETS. 05:20 AND HE'S PRAYING SAYING, 05:22 "LORD, WE'VE BEEN HERE 70 YEARS. 05:23 HOW LONG? 05:24 HOW LONG WILL YOU TOLERATE YOUR PEOPLE? 05:25 HOW LONG TILL THE SAVIOR THE MESSIAH COMES?" 05:28 WHILE DANIEL IS PRAYING, THE ANGEL GABRIEL COMES, 05:31 SAME ONE THAT APPEARS TO MARY, 05:33 AND HE HASN'T AGED A BIT WHEN HE APPEARS TO MARY 05:35 AT 500 YEARS LATER. 05:37 AND HE GIVES THIS PROPHECY, 05:41 "70 WEEKS ARE DETERMINED FOR YOUR PEOPLE..." 05:43 I'M IN DANIEL 9:24, 05:46 "FOR THEIR HOLY CITY, TO FINISH TRANSGRESSION, 05:50 TO MAKE AN END OF SINS, 05:52 TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, 05:54 TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, 05:57 TO SEAL UP THE VISION AND THE PROPHECY..." 06:00 TALKING ABOUT THE VISIONS 06:01 ABOUT THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH. 06:03 "AND ANOINT THE MOST HOLY." 06:06 VERY CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PROPHECY 06:08 THAT TALKED ABOUT THE MOST HOLY BEING ANOINTED, 06:11 70 WEEKS. 06:12 SO WHAT DOES THE 70 WEEKS REPRESENT? 06:18 NOW, IN THE BIBLE, A DAY EQUALS A YEAR. 06:21 FIRST LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STARTING POINT HERE. 06:23 IT TELLS US THAT IT SAYS, 06:24 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT..." 06:26 IF YOU READ IN DANIEL 9:25, 06:28 WHAT'S THE STARTING POINT FOR THIS PROPHECY? 06:30 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT 06:33 TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM." 06:35 JERUSALEM HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR. 06:39 THE PERSIAN KING, ARTAXERXES, ISSUED A DECREE. 06:42 YOU CAN FIND THAT IN YOUR BIBLE IN EZRA CHAPTER 7. 06:46 THAT THEY COULD GO BACK 06:47 AND HE ALSO HELPED SUBSIDIZE THEIR MISSION 06:50 TO REBUILD THE CITY, TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE. 06:53 AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WOULD BE 06:54 THE STARTING POINT OF THIS 70 WEEK PROPHECY. 06:58 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND 06:59 TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM 07:01 UNTO THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE, THERE'LL BE SEVEN WEEKS..." 07:03 NOW HE BREAKS UP THAT 70 WEEKS INTO THREE PARTS: 07:06 THERE'LL BE SEVEN WEEKS, AND 62 WEEKS, 07:09 THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FINAL WEEK. 07:10 OKAY? 07:12 AND SO SEVEN WEEKS WAS THE TIME IT TOOK THEM 07:14 TO REBUILD THE WALLS AND THE STREETS 07:15 AND TROUBLOUS TIMES IN THE TEMPLE. 07:18 THEN THERE WERE 62 MORE WEEKS, 07:20 THE MOST HOLY WOULD BE ANOINTED. 07:22 THEN DURING THAT LAST WEEK, 07:24 HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE, 07:26 BUT IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST WEEK 07:28 HE'D MAKE THE SACRIFICE CEASE. 07:30 NOW I'VE SAID IT, I'M GOING TO SAY IT SEVERAL TIMES 07:32 BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, 07:35 AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS CLEAR IN YOUR MIND. 07:37 FIRST OF ALL, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING 07:38 WITH A LARGE BIBLE TIME PROPHECY LIKE THIS, 07:41 THERE'S A PRETTY SAFE PRINCIPLE 07:44 THAT YOU APPLY A DAY FOR A YEAR. 07:46 AND THERE'S THREE REFERENCES THERE, 07:48 YOU CAN SEE THAT SUPPORT THAT PRINCIPLE. 07:51 NOW I'M GOING TO PUT A CHART UP ON THE SCREEN 07:52 AND EXPLAIN THIS TIME PROPHECY. 07:55 YOU SEE THE DECREE IS GIVEN 457 B.C. 07:59 ARTAXERXES YOU CAN FIND IT IN EZRA 7. 08:01 IT'S A PRETTY WELL ACCEPTED DATE 08:03 IN ANCIENT HISTORY. 08:05 AND SO, 483 YEARS AFTER THE COMMAND 08:09 IS WHEN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE MESSIAH ANOINTED. 08:11 HE BEGINS HIS MINISTRY. 08:13 HE THEN CONFIRMS THE COVENANT WITH GOD'S PEOPLE 08:15 FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. 08:17 IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS 08:19 HE MAKES THE SACRIFICE CEASE. 08:21 STAY WITH ME. 08:23 ALL RIGHT, JESUS WAS BAPTIZED WHEN? 08:26 YOU CAN READ IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 1:29. 08:28 HE CAME TO JOHN THE BAPTIST, AND IT SAYS, 08:31 "JOHN SAW JESUS COMING TO HIM AND SAID, 08:34 'BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD 08:35 THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!'" 08:38 YOU KNOW, IF YOU READ IN LUKE, 08:39 IT TELLS US THAT THE YEAR 08:40 THAT JOHN WAS PREACHING WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, 08:42 IT TALKS ABOUT PONTIUS PILATE BEING IN POWER. 08:45 YOU'VE GOT TIBERIUS CAESAR, YOU'VE GOT HEROD. 08:48 THERE IS ONLY ONE YEAR IN HISTORY 08:50 WHEN THESE THREE CHARACTERS, THEIR REIGNS OVERLAPPED 08:53 AND IT WAS 27 A.D. 08:55 27 A.D. 08:57 IS EXACTLY 483 YEARS AFTER 09:01 KING ARTAXERXES' DECREE IN 457. 09:04 THAT'S WHEN THE MESSIAH WAS BAPTIZED. 09:06 WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS? 09:08 YOU CAN READ IN ACTS 10:38 WHERE PETER SAID, 09:12 "GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH 09:14 WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT..." 09:15 HE WAS THE ANOINTED, THE CHRIST. 09:17 "AND WITH POWER, WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD 09:20 AND HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL, 09:24 FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM." 09:26 AND SO JESUS WAS ANOINTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 09:29 EXACTLY 483 YEARS, 09:32 BUT NOW YOU'VE GOT ONE WEEK LEFT 09:34 STILL TO GET TO 490, RIGHT? 09:36 NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED 09:37 DURING THE MINISTRY OF JESUS. 09:39 WE'RE PARKING THE PROPHECY OF DANIEL. 09:41 SO YOU ALL WITH ME? WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO IT. 09:44 IT SAID THAT HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT DURING THIS WEEK. 09:47 WHAT DID JESUS DO DURING THAT TIME? 09:50 LET'S LOOK AT THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST 09:52 AND ARE THERE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST? 09:55 SO I'M PUTTING LAYERS IN HERE. PROPHECIES IN PROPHECIES. 09:58 ISAIAH 61:1, FIRST SERMON JESUS PREACHED 10:01 HE QUOTES FROM THIS IN NAZARETH, 10:03 HIS HOME CHURCH. 10:04 HE SAID, "THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON ME 10:07 BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME 10:09 TO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR." 10:12 CHRIST IS THE ANOINTED. 10:13 HE'S TELLING PEOPLE, "I AM THE ANOINTED." 10:15 "HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED..." 10:17 DID JESUS DO THAT? 10:20 "TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES..." 10:22 PEOPLE CAPTIVE BY THE DEVIL AND SIN. 10:24 "AND THE OPENING OF PRISON TO THOSE WHO ARE BOUND." 10:27 HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVE FREE 10:30 AND TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES 10:32 AND THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD. 10:34 AND PEOPLE THAT CAME TO HEAR JESUS PREACH, 10:36 YOU KNOW, SPIES WERE SENT TO ARREST HIM 10:38 AND THEY CAME BACK 10:39 AND THE LEADER SAID, "WHERE IS HE? 10:41 WE TOLD YOU TO ARREST HIM." YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR ANSWER WAS? 10:43 "NEVER MAN SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN." 10:48 AND I CAN TESTIFY TO YOU, THAT WAS MY IMPRESSION 10:51 BECAUSE I GREW UP BELIEVING THAT JESUS WAS... 10:54 IN OUR HOME, MY MOM DIDN'T SAY VERY NICE THINGS ABOUT JESUS. 10:59 CAME, LIKE I SAID, FROM A JEWISH BACKGROUND, 11:01 AND WE THOUGHT CHRISTIANS WERE THE PROBLEM. 11:03 MY JEWISH RELATIVES, 11:05 THEY'D TELL ME "OH, YEAH, JESUS WAS... 11:06 HE WAS A GOOD MAN. HE WAS A TEACHER." 11:08 AND I WOULD ASK MY GRANDFATHER, 11:09 I'D SAY, "NOW YOU REALIZE 11:10 THAT HE SAID HE WAS THE MESSIAH. 11:12 DO YOU THINK HE TOLD THE TRUTH?" 11:16 THEY SAID, "OH, YEAH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN. 11:17 HE WAS A TEACHER. HE'S A PROPHET." 11:19 "WELL, HE SAID HE WAS THE SON OF GOD. 11:21 HE SAID HE WAS THE ONLY ONE. HE'S THE ONLY DOOR." 11:25 AND SO THEY USED TO KIND OF STUMBLE OVER THAT. 11:27 SO I WAS VERY ANTAGONISTIC ABOUT JESUS. 11:29 WHEN I FINALLY STARTED READING THE BIBLE, 11:31 SO I COULD ARGUE WITH CHRISTIANS. 11:33 AND I'D READ WHERE IT SAYS, 11:35 "HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE." 11:37 I HAD HEARD THAT EXPRESSION ALL MY LIFE. 11:39 I SAID, "OH, JESUS SAID THAT." 11:42 "TURN THE OTHER CHEEK." OH, JESUS SAID THAT. 11:46 "GO THE SECOND MILE." 11:48 AND ALL OF THESE THINGS 11:49 I WAS READING IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, 11:50 I'M GOING, "I'VE BEEN HEARING THESE THINGS ALL MY LIFE. 11:52 I HAD NO IDEA THAT JESUS SAID THEM." 11:55 I SAID, "WOW, HE WAS REALLY SMART." 11:57 I MEAN, HE JUST SAID, 11:58 HE'S THE MOST QUOTED PERSON IN HISTORY. 12:00 NOBODY EVER SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN SPOKE. 12:04 NOW YOU LOOK AT THE PROPHECIES 12:05 AND THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE CROSS. 12:08 ARE THERE SOME OF THOSE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? 12:11 FOR ONE THING, JUST THE WEEK BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED, 12:14 THEY CALL IT THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY. 12:16 "REJOICE GREATLY, O DAUGHTER..." 12:17 BY THE WAY, THIS IS ZECHARIAH 9:9, 12:19 "REJOICE GREATLY, O DAUGHTER OF ZION! 12:21 SHOUT, DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM! 12:23 BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU. 12:26 HE IS JUST AND HAVING SALVATION, LOWLY 12:29 AND RIDING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY." 12:33 AND THEN YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT 12:34 AND THEN YOU SEE THE STORY WHERE JESUS RODE INTO JERUSALEM 12:37 THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE ON A DONKEY. 12:40 JUSTICE HAD BEEN FORETOLD WITH ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICING. 12:43 BY THE WAY, A LITTLE AMAZING FACT I'LL THROW IN. 12:45 IF YOU GO TO JERUSALEM TODAY, YOU'LL SEE THIS PICTURE 12:47 OF WHAT THEY CALL THE GOLDEN GATE. 12:49 THERE'S SOMETHING ODD ABOUT THAT. 12:51 IT'S ALL BRICKED UP. 12:52 THAT IS THE GATE THAT JESUS RODE THROUGH. 12:56 YOU KNOW WHY IT'S BRICKED UP? 12:57 BECAUSE WHEN THE MUSLIMS TOOK JERUSALEM, 13:01 THEY KNEW THE JEWISH PROPHECIES SAID, 13:03 IN ZECHARIAH, 13:04 "THE MESSIAH WOULD RIDE THROUGH THIS GATE." 13:06 THEY WANTED TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. 13:08 SO I THINK IT WAS SULEIMAN THE MAGNIFICENT, 13:10 HE HAD IT ALL BLOCKED OFF 13:11 AND THEY PUT A CEMETERY IN FRONT OF IT 13:14 TO DESECRATE THE GROUND 13:15 TO PREVENT THE JEWISH MESSIAH FROM COMING. 13:17 BUT THEY WERE ABOUT 700 YEARS TOO LATE. 13:21 DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS. 13:23 WE WILL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT 13:24 TO COMPLETE TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 13:27 CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE 13:28 TO BE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A DARK OCEAN 13:31 BY YOURSELF FLOATING AROUND AND THEN DISCOVER 13:33 YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY HUNGRY SHARKS? 13:36 YOU WOULD BE SO THANKFUL 13:37 IF A HELICOPTER CAME BY TO RESCUE YOU. 13:39 WELL, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A STUDY GUIDE 13:41 THAT TALKS ABOUT SALVATION 13:43 AND IT'S CALLED "SAVED FROM CERTAIN DEATH." 13:45 IN THIS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED SCRIPTURE-FILLED RESOURCE, 13:48 WE WILL ANSWER THE BIG QUESTIONS 13:50 ABOUT SALVATION. 13:52 WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 13:54 HOW CAN I HAVE PEACE IN MY HEART? 13:55 HOW DO I LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE, 13:57 AND SHARE MY FAITH WITH OTHERS? 13:59 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, 14:00 CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN 14:02 OR VISIT AMAZINGFACTS.ORG, AND ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 109. 14:07 AND AFTER YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, 14:09 MAKE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 14:11 WELL, LET'S GET BACK NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION 14:13 AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS 14:15 FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 14:18 ARE THERE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE BETRAYAL OF JESUS? 14:21 YES, QUITE A FEW. 14:22 MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ IN PSALMS, 14:24 A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN, 14:27 KING DAVID WROTE, "EVEN MY OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND 14:30 IN WHOM I TRUSTED, WHO ATE MY BREAD, 14:33 HE HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME." 14:36 AFTER THEY ATE BREAD TOGETHER, 14:37 JUDAS WENT OUT AND HE BETRAYED HIM. 14:40 AND THEN, AGAIN, YOU READ IN ZECHARIAH, 14:42 IT SAYS, AND THIS IS 11, VERSE 12, 14:44 "THEN I SAID TO THEM, 'IF IT IS AGREEABLE TO YOU, 14:47 GIVE ME MY WAGES, AND, IF NOT, REFRAIN.' 14:51 SO THEY WEIGHED OUT FOR MY WAGES 14:53 THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.'" 14:55 HOW MUCH WAS JESUS SOLD FOR? 14:58 THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, EXACTLY. 15:00 AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY, "AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, 15:03 'THROW IT TO THE POTTER,' 15:04 THAT PRINCELY PRICE THAT THEY SET UPON ME. 15:07 SO THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER 15:09 AND THEY THREW THEM INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, 15:11 TO THE POTTER." 15:12 YOU KNOW WHAT JUDAS DID WITH THE MONEY 15:14 WHEN HE WAS OVERCOME WITH GUILT? 15:15 HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, 15:16 HE THREW THE SILVER DOWN. 15:18 THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY 15:19 BECAUSE IT WAS BLOOD MONEY. 15:21 THEY USED IT TO BUY A POTTER'S FIELD 15:22 TO BURY STRANGERS IN. 15:25 WHAT PRECISE DETAILS WERE FORETOLD 15:27 HUNDREDS OF YEARS EARLIER, THOUSAND YEARS EARLIER. 15:31 NO, THIS ONE HUNDREDS OF YEARS EARLIER 15:33 REGARDING THE BETRAYAL OF CHRIST. 15:35 AMEN. 15:36 WHAT ABOUT THE MANNER OF HIS DEATH? 15:37 WAS THAT FORETOLD? 15:40 YOU REALIZE WHEN SOME OF THESE PROPHECIES WERE WRITTEN, 15:42 THEY DIDN'T PRACTICE CRUCIFIXION. 15:43 BUT YOU LOOK IN PSALM 22. 15:46 NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIRST WORDS ARE 15:47 IN PSALM 22? 15:49 "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 15:52 DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? 15:54 THAT'S WHAT JESUS UTTERED FROM THE CROSS. 15:55 PEOPLE THINK, "DID HE SAY THAT BECAUSE HE WAS DISCOURAGED?" 15:58 NO, JESUS SAID THAT BECAUSE LATER IN THAT PSALM 16:01 YOU FIND THESE OTHER PREDICTIONS. 16:03 READ IN PSALM 22:16, 16:06 "FOR DOGS HAVE SURROUNDED ME, 16:07 THE CONGREGATION OF THE WICKED HAS ENCLOSED ME. 16:10 THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET..." 16:13 DESCRIBING CRUCIFIXION. 16:15 IT'S IN THAT SAME PSALM, THAT MESSIANIC PASSOVER PSALM 16:19 WHERE HE SAYS, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 16:23 CHRIST HAD NOT LOST COURAGE, 16:24 HE WAS DIRECTING THEM TO THE PSALM 16:26 THAT SHOWED THE VERY THING THAT WAS HAPPENING THAT DAY 16:28 AS HE HUNG UP ON THE CROSS. 16:30 IT SAYS, "THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS AMONG THEM, 16:32 AND THEY CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHING." 16:34 WHAT A PRECISE DETAIL. 16:37 AND THEN YOU READ, OF COURSE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 16:38 THERE, MARK 15:24 AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, 16:42 "WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, THEY DIVIDED HIS GARMENTS, 16:45 CASTING LOTS FOR THEM 16:47 TO DETERMINE WHAT EVERY MAN SHOULD TAKE." 16:50 GAMBLING THERE AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. 16:53 BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS, 16:55 IT ALSO SAYS NONE OF HIS BONES WOULD BE BROKEN 16:57 IN THAT PROPHECY IN PSALM 22. 16:59 IT SAYS, "WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS 17:00 AFTER BREAKING THE BONES OF THE THIEF 17:02 ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT, 17:03 THEY SAW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD 17:05 AND THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS." 17:06 NOTICE JOHN GOES ON. 17:08 JOHN QUOTES FROM THE PROPHECY, 17:10 "BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS PIERCED HIS SIDE WITH A SPEAR, 17:13 AND IMMEDIATELY BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT." 17:15 TALKS ABOUT CHRIST, THE MESSIAH BEING PIERCED. 17:18 BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT 17:19 BUT THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS BONES. 17:21 IT SAYS, "FOR THESE THINGS WERE DONE 17:22 THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE FULFILLED, 17:24 'NOT ONE OF HIS BONES WOULD BE BROKEN.'" 17:27 AND AGAIN ANOTHER SCRIPTURE SAYS, 17:28 "THEY LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY HAD PIERCED." 17:31 QUOTING AGAIN THAT SCRIPTURE, JESUS WAS PIERCED, 17:33 HIS BONES WERE NOT BROKEN, HE WAS CRUCIFIED, 17:35 THEY GAMBLED FOR HIS CLOTHING. 17:37 WAS HE THE ONE? 17:39 DO THE PROPHECIES ALL TALK ABOUT JESUS? 17:41 NOW I TOLD YOU, DON'T FORGET ABOUT DANIEL. 17:44 WE'RE GOING BACK NOW TO DANIEL CHAPTER 9. 17:46 WE GOT ONE WEEK TO GO. 17:48 AND IT SAYS, "AFTER THE SIXTY-TWO WEEKS 17:51 MESSIAH WILL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF." 17:55 WAS JESUS CUT OFF? YES. 17:58 AND WHEN A PERSON DIES OF OLD AGE, 18:00 THAT'S NOT BEING CUT OFF. 18:01 BUT WHEN THEY'RE 30 YEARS OLD, 18:04 33 AND A HALF, HE DIED IN HIS PRIME. 18:09 HE WAS CUT OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING. 18:10 BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF, FOR WHO? 18:13 FOR US. FOR ME, FOR YOU. 18:15 HE DIED FOR YOU AS THOUGH YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE 18:17 WHO HAD EVER SINNED. 18:18 HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH. 18:20 AND THEN IT SAID, "HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT 18:22 WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK." 18:23 SO THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS, FROM HIS BAPTISM 18:27 UNTIL SEVEN YEARS LATER, 18:30 HE IS CONFIRMING THE COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE. 18:33 THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN PERSON, 18:36 THREE AND A HALF YEARS THROUGH THE APOSTLES, 18:39 UNTIL, FINALLY THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR, 18:42 WHICH IS STEPHEN, 18:43 HE IS TRIED BY THE JEWISH SUPREME COURT 18:45 FOR HIS FAITH. 18:46 THEY DO THE SAME THING TO HIM THEY DID TO JESUS. 18:48 THEY BRING HIM OUT OF THE CITY. 18:50 HE'S FALSELY ACCUSED AND THEN HE IS EXECUTED 18:54 AND HE PRAYS FOR THE FORGIVENESS 18:55 OF THOSE WHO KILL HIM, THE SAME THING JESUS DID. 18:58 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HE CAUSES, 19:00 HE MAKES THE OFFERING AND THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE. 19:03 THREE AND A HALF YEARS AFTER JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, 19:06 WHEN HE DIES ON THE CROSS, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TEMPLE? 19:09 YOU READ IN MATTHEW 27:51, 19:12 "BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO 19:14 FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND THE EARTH QUAKED, 19:17 AND THE ROCKS WERE SPLIT..." 19:19 AND THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE IS TORN, 19:22 SHOWING THAT THE PURPOSE 19:23 FOR THAT SANCTUARY WAS COMPLETE. 19:27 JESUS SAID, "DESTROY THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS 19:29 AND IN THREE DAYS I WILL MAKE ONE WITHOUT HANDS." 19:31 HE SPOKE OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH. 19:34 TWO THINGS WERE TORN, THE TEMPLE WAS TORN 19:36 AND THE HIGH PRIEST TORE HIS GARMENTS. 19:38 WE NOW HAVE A NEW PRIESTHOOD. 19:40 IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST, 19:42 THEN YOU ARE PART OF THAT ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. AMEN? 19:45 AND WE ALSO HAVE A NEW TEMPLE. 19:46 IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST, 19:47 YOU ARE A LIVING STONE IN THAT BUILDING. 19:49 THAT'S WHAT PAUL AND PETER SAY. WE ARE THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD. 19:52 CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING, CHURCH IS THE PEOPLE. 19:55 NOW, GO BACK, I WANT YOU TO SEE THE CHART AGAIN. 19:58 AND YOU NOTICE HERE, WE GOT FROM THE DECREE 20:01 UNTIL THE 69 WEEKS ARE COMPLETE, 20:05 YOU'VE GOT 483 YEARS AND 69 WEEKS. 20:09 FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE DAYS 20:10 AND A DAY IS A YEAR. 20:11 CHRIST IS BAPTIZED 27 A.D. 20:14 HE CONFIRMS A COVENANT WITH GOD'S PEOPLE 20:16 FOR ANOTHER WEEK 20:17 BEFORE THE GOSPEL GOES TO THE GENTILES. 20:20 THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN PERSON, 20:22 THEN HE DIES AND HE CAUSES THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE. 20:25 THEN HE DOES ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF YEARS 20:27 THROUGH THOSE THAT HEARD HIM. 20:29 AND YOU'LL FIND THIS IS IN HEBREWS 2:3 20:34 WHERE IT SAYS THAT, 20:35 "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE..." NOTICE THIS. 20:37 "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE 20:38 IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION, 20:41 WHICH AT THE FIRST BEGAN TO BE SPOKEN BY THE LORD..." 20:44 27 A.D. 20:46 FROM HIS BAPTISM BEGAN TO PREACH 20:48 FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS UNTIL HE WAS EXECUTED. 20:51 "AND WAS CONFIRMED TO US BY THOSE THAT HEARD HIM," 20:55 FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 20:56 DO YOU KNOW THE JEWS DID NOT GO WHEN CHRIST ROSE? 20:58 THEY DID NOT GO TO THE WORLD YET. 21:01 HE SAID, "FIRST BEGIN IN JERUSALEM AND JUDEA." 21:05 HE SAYS, "DO NOT GO, 21:06 BUT FIRST TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL." 21:09 THE APOSTLES' MINISTRY 21:10 FOR THE FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS 21:12 WAS EXCLUSIVELY TO THE JEWISH NATION. 21:14 AT PENTECOST, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS POURED OUT, 21:17 IT SAYS THERE WERE DEVOUT JEWS 21:18 DWELLING IN JERUSALEM FROM EVERY NATION. 21:20 THEY PREACHED TO JEWS. 21:22 IN ACTS CHAPTER 3, ACTS CHAPTER 5, 21:24 THEY'RE ALL JEWS BEING BAPTIZED. 21:25 IT WASN'T UNTIL STEPHEN WAS STONED, 21:27 IT SAYS, "A GREAT PERSECUTION AROSE 21:29 AND THE GOSPEL WENT EVERYWHERE." 21:31 THEN PAUL IS CONVERTED, FOLLOWING THAT, 21:35 IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. 21:36 PETER THEN GOES TO CORNELIUS 21:37 AND STARTS TO PREACH TO THE GENTILES 21:40 WHO HE HAD BEEN CALLING UNCLEAN. 21:41 FINALLY THE GOSPEL BEGAN TO GO TO EVERYONE. 21:44 THAT WAS EXACTLY 490 YEARS 21:47 AFTER, AS DANIEL HAD SAID THAT PROPHECY. 21:51 YOU'VE GOT THE DECREE, 457, 21:53 THE BAPTISM OF JESUS MARKS THE LAST WEEK 21:56 OF THAT PROPHECY, 21:57 FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS HE CONFIRMS THE COVENANT. 22:00 HE THEN CAUSES THE SACRIFICE 22:02 TO CEASE BY HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS. 22:04 THEN HE SAYS TO THE DISCIPLES, "AS THE FATHER SENT ME, 22:07 NOW YOU GO CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH THE LOST SHEEP 22:09 FOR ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 22:11 STEPHEN IS STONED. 22:12 AND HE SAYS, "NOW THE GOSPEL GOES 22:14 TO THE GENTILES AND EVERYBODY, WHOSOEVER WILL. 22:17 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD SAID WOULD HAPPEN. 22:20 THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH 22:22 THAT DANIEL FORETOLD. 22:23 AND I'VE EVEN GOT A QUOTE HERE FROM JOSEPHUS, 22:26 THE JEWISH HISTORIAN, 22:27 THAT TO ME IT JUST BLOWS ME AWAY. 22:29 JOSEPHUS, FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS 22:31 WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF THE APOSTLES 22:34 AND HE WROTE THIS FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST. 22:38 "NOW THERE WAS ABOUT THIS TIME, A WISE MAN, 22:42 IF IT BE LAWFUL TO CALL HIM A MAN, 22:44 FOR HE WAS A DOER OF WONDERFUL WORKS, 22:47 AND A TEACHER OF SUCH MEN 22:48 AS RECEIVE THE TRUTH WITH PLEASURE. 22:50 HE DREW OVER TO HIM BOTH MANY OF THE JEWS 22:53 AND MANY OF THE GENTILES, HE WAS THE CHRIST." 22:56 THIS IS COMING FROM A JEWISH SCHOLAR 22:57 WHO IS NOT WRITING IN THE BIBLE. 23:01 IT SAYS, "AND WHEN PILATE, 23:03 AT THE SUGGESTION OF PRINCIPAL PEOPLE AMONG US, 23:06 HAD CONDEMNED HIM TO THE CROSS, 23:08 THOSE THAT LOVED HIM 23:10 AT THE FIRST DID NOT FORSAKE HIM, 23:12 FOR HE APPEARED TO THEM ALIVE AGAIN 23:15 AFTER THE THIRD DAY." 23:17 SO THIS IS NOT JUST THE BIBLE, FRIENDS, THIS IS HISTORY. 23:20 AND EVEN THIS JEWISH HISTORIAN SAYS, 23:21 "YEAH, HE WAS THE MESSIAH, 23:23 HE APPEARED, HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD." 23:27 "AS THE DIVINE PROPHETS HAD FORETOLD THESE THINGS 23:29 AND TEN THOUSAND OTHER WONDERFUL THINGS 23:32 CONCERNING HIM. 23:33 AND THE TRIBE OF CHRISTIAN CONTINUES WITH US 23:35 AND THEY ARE NOT EXTINCT EVEN TO THIS DAY." 23:38 SO I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT HERE. 23:40 THERE ARE PROPHECIES THAT TELL ABOUT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH, 23:43 THAT HE'D BE BORN OF A VIRGIN, THE TIME OF HIS BAPTISM, 23:47 THE TYPE OF MINISTRY, THE EVENTS OF HIS BETRAYAL, 23:50 THE MANNER OF HIS EXECUTION, 23:52 HIS RESURRECTION, HIS ASCENSION. 23:53 THIS IS ALL FORETOLD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 23:57 AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, WE HAD A QUESTION 23:59 I DIDN'T READ TONIGHT. 24:00 HOW DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE?" 24:01 I'M GOING, PFF! 24:03 WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT? 24:06 WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT? 24:08 THE BOOK HAS BEEN SUPERNATURALLY PRESERVED. 24:10 EVERYTHING IT SAYS HAS COME TRUE. 24:12 AND JESUS IS THE BEST EVIDENCE OF ALL. 24:14 AMEN. 24:15 YOU START TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, FRIENDS, 24:17 AND YOU CAN SEE JESUS 24:18 IS WHAT THE WHOLE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT. 24:21 AMEN? 24:22 AMEN. 24:23 SO WHY DID HE COME? 24:25 THREE QUICK REASONS WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW. 24:27 ONE HE CAME AS OUR EXAMPLE. 24:30 JESUS, HE SAID, 24:32 "I'VE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE 24:33 THAT YOU SHOULD WALK AS I'VE WALKED." 24:36 JESUS CHRIST CAME AND THAT, BY THE WAY, IS JOHN 13:15. 24:40 "I WANT YOU TO LIVE AS I HAVE LIVED." 24:43 A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. 24:45 HE CAME TO SHOW US THE FATHER, IS THE SECOND REASON HE CAME. 24:48 HE SAID, "HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER." 24:52 AND THEN, FINALLY, HE SAID, 24:54 "I'VE COME BECAUSE I WANT TO TAKE YOUR PLACE." 24:57 HE IS OUR SUBSTITUTE. 25:00 HE DIED AS A SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS 25:01 BECAUSE HE LOVES US. 25:03 BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO. 25:06 WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT SACRIFICE IN OUR BEHALF. 25:09 AMEN. 25:10 YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS WAS BEING TRIED, 25:13 PILATE SAID TO HIM, 25:15 "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH JESUS 25:17 WHO IS CALLED THE CHRIST?" 25:18 EVERYONE REALLY NEEDS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 25:20 HE IS THE CENTRAL FIGURE OF HUMAN HISTORY. 25:24 ALL OF HISTORY DATED FROM HIS BIRTH. 25:26 YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE JESUS. 25:28 GOD HAS GIVEN AN INCREDIBLE GIFT 25:31 THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN. 25:32 AMEN. 25:33 I REMEMBER READING A STORY YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS, 25:36 A RAILWAY SWITCH KEEPER IN PRUSSIA OVER IN EUROPE 25:41 WHERE THEY HAD THIS SPAN THAT CROSSED THE BRIDGE, 25:44 A RAILROAD TRACK CROSSED THE RIVER 25:46 AND THERE WAS A DRAWBRIDGE. 25:48 AND WHENEVER THE TRAIN WAS APPROACHING 25:49 IT WOULD TOOT ITS WHISTLE 25:52 AND HE WOULD RAISE THIS FLAG AND SAID, 25:54 "ALL CLEAR, KEEP GOING." 25:55 AND ONE DAY, WHILE HE WAS AT HIS STATION 25:57 WAITING FOR THE TRAIN, IT TOOTED THE WHISTLE 26:00 AND HE GAVE THE ALL CLEAR SIGN. 26:02 BUT THAT WAS ALSO A DAY THAT HE HAD BROUGHT 26:04 HIS 4-YEAR-OLD SON WITH HIM TO WORK 26:05 AND HE HAD TAKEN HIS EYES OFF HIS SON 26:08 WHO HAD WANDERED OUT ON THE TRESTLE 26:10 AND HE SAW THE TRAIN COMING. 26:12 KNOWING THE SPEED OF THE TRAIN, 26:13 SEEING HOW FAR OUT ON THE TRACK HIS SON WAS, 26:17 HE THOUGHT, "WHAT DO I DO? 26:19 IF I LEAVE THE BRIDGE UP, 26:21 THE TRAIN WILL GO OFF AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE 26:22 WILL PERISH IN THE RIVER. 26:24 IF I DON'T SWITCH THE TRAIN OFF THE TRACK, 26:27 MY SON IS GOING TO PERISH." 26:30 AND SO HE SHOUTED OUT TO HIS SON, 26:32 "LAY DOWN NOW. 26:34 LAY DOWN AND DO NOT MOVE." 26:36 AND HE KNEW THE BOY COULDN'T OUTRUN THE TRAIN 26:39 AND THE BOY JUST LAY DOWN. 26:41 THE BRIDGE WENT DOWN, 26:42 THE TRAIN WENT ACROSS THE RIVER 26:45 AND THE MAN NEVER KNEW, AND THE PEOPLE WENT BY, 26:47 THEY ARE WAVING AT THE MAN IN THE BOOTH. 26:50 THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT 26:52 WHAT THE DECISION HE HAD JUST MADE. 26:54 AFTER THE TRAIN PASSED, HE RAN OUT THERE EXPECTING 26:56 MAYBE TO FIND THE MANGLED REMAINS OF HIS CHILDREN. 26:59 HIS BOY HAD OBEYED AND HE WAS ALIVE. 27:01 THE WHOLE TRAIN WENT OVER HIM. 27:04 NEXT DAY THE KING OF PRUSSIA GAVE THAT MAN A REWARD 27:07 FOR BEING WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS SON 27:10 TO SAVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. 27:13 HIS SON DID NOT DIE. 27:15 YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD VARIATIONS OF THAT STORY. 27:19 BUT IT IS TRUE THAT OUR FATHER GAVE HIS SON 27:21 AND HE DID DIE. 27:23 AND A LOT OF THE WORLD DOESN'T EVEN KNOW, 27:24 AS THEY GO ON THEIR MERRY WAY, 27:26 THEY'RE ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD, 27:28 BECAUSE THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH. 27:30 AND WHY AREN'T THESE PEOPLE ALL DEAD? 27:32 BECAUSE JESUS, BY HIS SACRIFICE, 27:34 BOUGHT THE HUMAN RACE TIME, 27:37 PROBATION TO MAKE A DECISION. 27:39 WE'VE GOT JUST THIS LIFE. ONE LIFE TO MAKE A DECISION. 27:43 THAT'S WHY ALL THE PROPHECIES ARE THERE 27:46 THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS. 27:52 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST 27:54 TODAY'S LIFE CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 27:56 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 27:58 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 28:01 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 28:02 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 28:05 SIMPLY TEXT THE KEY WORD ON YOUR SCREEN 28:07 TO 40544, 28:09 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN, 28:12 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THAT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 28:14 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 28:15 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER 28:17 FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH AMAZING FACTS 28:20 WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT. 28:22 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 28:26 WANT TO KNOW GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR WORLD 28:28 AND SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR LIFE'S CHALLENGES? 28:31 BEAUTIFULLY REDESIGNED, 28:32 AMAZING FACTS 27 BIBLE STUDY GUIDES 28:35 PROVIDE ENCOURAGING BIBLE-BASED ANSWERS 28:36 TO QUESTIONS ON HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS. 28:38 WHEN JESUS WILL RETURN AND MUCH MORE. 28:41 PREFER TO WATCH WHILE YOU READ. 28:43 OUR BRAND-NEW "PROPHECY ENCOUNTER" DVD SERIES 28:45 MAKES THE PERFECT COMPANION SET. 28:48 ORDER YOUR STUDY GUIDES AND DVDS TODAY 28:50 BY VISITING AFBOOKSTORE.COM, 28:52 OR BY CALLING 800-538-7275. 29:00 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S FREE OFFER, 29:02 IT'S SURE TO BE A BLESSING. 29:04 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT 29:06 AS WE TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD. 29:10 WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT WEEK 29:11 AS WE DELVE DEEP INTO THE WORD OF GOD 29:14 TO EXPLORE MORE AMAZING FACTS. 29:26 THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU 29:28 BY THE FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. |
