THE MOST AMAZING
PROPHECIES VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:46.54\00:00:54.18
>> OUR STUDY TONIGHT IS
DEALING WITH THE MYSTERY OF THE
00:00:54.22\00:00:58.79
MESSIAH; THE MESSIAH MYSTERY.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PROPHECIES
00:00:58.82\00:01:02.62
IN THE BIBLE THAT TELL WHEN
HE WOULD BEGIN HIS MINISTRY.
00:01:02.66\00:01:05.43
ONE OF THE GREAT MOST
AMAZING PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE.
00:01:05.46\00:01:08.86
WHEN I FIRST READ THIS PROPHECY
UP THERE IN THE CAVE, I WAS
00:01:08.90\00:01:11.90
RUNNING AROUND JUST A BIG ZERO,
BUT I WAS READING THE BIBLE.
00:01:11.93\00:01:16.07
AND I WAS SO AMAZED THAT
THE PROPHECIES FORETOLD WITH
00:01:16.10\00:01:19.21
SUCH ACCURACY AND PRECISION
THE FIRST COMING OF JESUS,
00:01:19.24\00:01:23.28
THAT I'M NOT ASHAMED TO TELL
YOU, I GOT UP, I COULD NOT STAND
00:01:23.31\00:01:26.48
STILL, AND I WAS
JUMPING UP AND DOWN.
00:01:26.51\00:01:29.98
I'M SURE I LOOKED A LITTLE
CHARISMATIC. I WAS JUMPING UP
00:01:30.02\00:01:32.52
AND DOWN SAYING, "PRAISE
THE LORD, THE BIBLE'S TRUE.
00:01:32.55\00:01:35.69
JESUS CAME RIGHT ON TIME
THE FIRST TIME AND HE'S PROBABLY
00:01:35.72\00:01:38.59
GONNA COME BACK
JUST LIKE HE SAID TOO."
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.96
AND I WAS SO EXCITED,
I WAS JUST LIKE THIS...
00:01:41.00\00:01:42.46
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
DOES PROPHECY EXCITE YOU?
00:01:42.50\00:01:46.77
THE FACT THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL
IS SO EXCITING, IT SHOULD BRING
00:01:46.80\00:01:49.37
PEACE TO OUR HEARTS.
NOW, IF YOU READ IN DANIEL 9,
00:01:49.40\00:01:53.68
THE ANGEL
GABRIEL COMES TO DANIEL.
00:01:53.71\00:01:56.21
DANIEL IS PRAYING, ONE OF THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL PRAYERS IN THAT
00:01:56.24\00:01:58.88
CHAPTER, AND HE'S
WONDERING HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL
00:01:58.91\00:02:03.79
THE MESSIAH COMES.
SO, DANIEL'S PRAYIN' THIS
00:02:03.82\00:02:06.02
PRAYER, THE ANGEL GABRIEL COMES
IN RESPONSE AND HE GIVES HIM ONE
00:02:06.05\00:02:09.99
OF THE MOST AMAZING
PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:10.03\00:02:12.79
IT'S CALLED THE
490-YEAR PROPHECY.
00:02:12.83\00:02:15.76
DANIEL 9:24, GABRIEL SAYS,
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED
00:02:15.80\00:02:20.47
FOR THY PEOPLE AND FOR
YOUR HOLY CITY TO FINISH THE
00:02:20.50\00:02:24.87
TRANSGRESSION, TO MAKE AN END
OF SINS, TO MAKE RECONCILIATION
00:02:24.91\00:02:29.68
FOR INIQUITY."
NOTICE ESPECIALLY THIS
00:02:29.71\00:02:31.98
PART HERE, "TO BRING IN
EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:02:32.01\00:02:36.32
TO SEAL UP THE VISION," TO
COMPLETE THIS VISION; "AND TO
00:02:36.35\00:02:40.92
ANOINT THE MOST HOLY." WHAT
DOES THE WORD "MESSIAH" MEAN?
00:02:40.96\00:02:47.03
THE ANOINTED, THE MOST HOLY.
00:02:47.03\00:02:49.06
THIS IS A PROPHECY TELLING
US THAT WITHIN THAT SEVENTY WEEK
00:02:49.10\00:02:54.60
PERIOD THE
MESSIAH WOULD BE ANOINTED.
00:02:54.64\00:02:58.17
SO, SOMETHING WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND IS: WHAT'S THE
00:02:58.21\00:03:01.28
STARTING POINT FOR THIS
PROPHECY? IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A
00:03:01.31\00:03:03.51
TIME PROPHECY, YOU NEED A
START AND YOU NEED A FINISH.
00:03:03.55\00:03:06.31
IT TELLS YOU IN THE SAME
CHAPTER, DANIEL 9:25, "FROM THE
00:03:06.35\00:03:10.39
GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT
TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM
00:03:10.42\00:03:14.79
UNTIL THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE,
THERE SHALL BE SEVEN WEEKS AND
00:03:14.82\00:03:19.89
SIXTY-TWO WEEKS OR
THREE SCORE AND TWO WEEKS."
00:03:19.93\00:03:22.50
NOW, THE WHOLE
PROPHECY HAS SEVENTY WEEKS.
00:03:22.53\00:03:26.70
AND HOW MANY DAYS IN A WEEK?
SEVEN TIMES SEVENTY IS 490,
00:03:26.74\00:03:34.18
'KAY? SO, ALL
OF THIS IS GONNA BE
00:03:34.21\00:03:35.68
CULMINATED, THE PURPOSE OF THE
JEWISH PEOPLE THAT ARE CUTOFF
00:03:35.71\00:03:38.88
FOR THE JEWISH NATION
WITHIN THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
00:03:38.91\00:03:42.08
AND HE SAYS, "BUT
THERE'S A DIVISION WITHIN THAT."
00:03:42.12\00:03:45.39
HE SAID THERE WOULD BE 7
WEEKS AND 3 SCORE AND 2 WEEKS,
00:03:45.42\00:03:49.29
THAT ADDS UP TO 69
WEEKS; ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:03:49.32\00:03:53.29
SO, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN
AT THE END OF THE 69 WEEKS.
00:03:53.33\00:03:57.50
IT SAYS, "THE MOST
HOLY'S GONNA BE ANOINTED."
00:03:57.53\00:04:00.87
NOW, WHEN YOU'RE STUDYING
PROPHECY, NOT EVERY TIME YOU
00:04:00.90\00:04:05.81
FIND THE WORD "DAY" IN
THE BIBLE DOES IT MEAN YEAR.
00:04:05.84\00:04:08.01
BUT IN BIBLE PROPHECIES,
THESE TIME PROPHECIES IT IS
00:04:08.04\00:04:10.78
FREQUENTLY TRUE
THAT A DAY EQUALS A YEAR,
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.08
EVEN MANY JEWISH
SCHOLARS ACCEPT THAT.
00:04:13.11\00:04:14.98
I CAN GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF
EXAMPLES HERE, IN EZEKIEL IT
00:04:15.02\00:04:17.49
SAYS, "I HAVE APPOINTED YOU EACH
DAY FOR A YEAR," EZEKIEL 4:6.
00:04:17.52\00:04:21.29
YOU CAN LOOK AT NUMBERS 14:34,
WHERE IT SAYS, "FOR THE 40 DAYS
00:04:21.32\00:04:25.89
YOU SPIED BECAUSE YOU LOST
FAITH WHEN YOU WERE SPYING OUT
00:04:25.93\00:04:28.80
THE PROMISED LAND,
YOU'RE GONNA WANDER 40 YEARS."
00:04:28.83\00:04:31.80
AND THEN JESUS, ONE TIME,
SOMEONE CAME AND WARNED HIM
00:04:31.83\00:04:34.50
AND THIS IS IN LUKE 13.
00:04:34.54\00:04:36.17
HE SAID, THEY WARNED HIM
AND SAID, HEROD'S GONNA ARREST
00:04:36.20\00:04:39.71
YOU LIKE HE DID--I'M
PARAPHRASING--JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:04:39.74\00:04:43.08
JESUS SAID, "GO TELL THAT FOX
THAT I PERFORM MIRACLES, I DO
00:04:43.11\00:04:45.98
CURES, I CAST OUT DEVILS, TODAY,
TOMORROW, AND THE THIRD DAY I
00:04:46.01\00:04:51.39
SHALL BE
PERFECTED OR BE COMPLETED."
00:04:51.42\00:04:53.72
JESUS DID NOT PREACH 3
MORE DAYS FROM THAT STATEMENT,
00:04:53.76\00:04:56.42
HE PREACHED 3 MORE YEARS.
SO, EVEN CHRIST UNDERSTOOD IN
00:04:56.46\00:04:59.53
THAT PROPHECY, THE PRINCIPLE
OF A DAY EQUALING A YEAR.
00:04:59.56\00:05:03.37
SO, YOU'VE GOT
483 DAYS IN 69 WEEKS.
00:05:03.40\00:05:08.77
AND IF A DAY IS A
YEAR, 483 WHAT? 483 YEARS.
00:05:08.80\00:05:13.48
I GOT A CHART I CAN PUT UP HERE
ON THE SCREEN THAT MIGHT MAKE
00:05:13.51\00:05:15.88
THIS A LITTLE EASIER. THE
GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND
00:05:15.91\00:05:18.61
TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM.
NOW, THAT COMMAND CAN BE FOUND
00:05:18.65\00:05:21.78
IN EZRA 7. AND THAT
COMMAND WAS GIVEN BY ARTAXERXES,
00:05:21.82\00:05:26.29
IT'S RIGHT THERE IN YOUR BIBLE.
THAT DATE IS A VERY FIRMLY
00:05:26.32\00:05:29.72
ESTABLISHED DATE IN
HISTORY. IT'S 457 B.C.
00:05:29.76\00:05:34.56
IT'S TELLING US THAT 483 YEARS
AFTER THAT, WHICH REACHES, WHEN
00:05:34.60\00:05:39.37
YOU FACTOR IN WHAT
THEY CALL, THE YEAR ZERO.
00:05:39.40\00:05:41.67
THERE REALLY IS NO YEAR
ZERO, BUT THE A.D., B.C.
00:05:41.70\00:05:44.11
DATING METHOD,
THAT REACHES TO 27 A.D.
00:05:44.14\00:05:48.68
NOW, WE KNOW EXACTLY WHEN JESUS
WAS BAPTIZED BECAUSE IT TELLS
00:05:48.71\00:05:52.08
US THAT IT WAS IN THE 15TH YEAR
OF THE REIGN OF TIBERIUS CAESAR
00:05:52.11\00:05:55.52
IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE, 27
A.D. CHRIST BEGAN HIS MINISTRY.
00:05:55.55\00:06:02.99
MATTER OF FACT, HE CAME TO THE
JORDAN RIVER, 30 YEARS OF AGE.
00:06:03.02\00:06:07.30
WHY DID HE WAIT 'TILL HE WAS
30? A PRIEST COULD NOT BEGIN TO
00:06:07.30\00:06:09.76
MINISTER UNTIL HE
WAS 30 YEARS OF AGE.
00:06:09.80\00:06:12.67
JOSEPH WENT OUT OVER EGYPT
WHEN HE WAS 30 YEARS OF AGE.
00:06:12.70\00:06:16.17
DAVID BEGAN TO REIGN AS KING
WHEN HE WAS 30 YEARS OF AGE.
00:06:16.20\00:06:18.81
THEY WERE TYPES OF
CHRIST WHO BEGAN HIS MINISTRY,
00:06:18.84\00:06:21.08
30 YEARS OF AGE. YOU
WOULD NOT BE RESPECTED AS
00:06:21.11\00:06:23.28
A RABBI IF YOU
WERE YOUNGER THAN 30.
00:06:23.31\00:06:25.41
RIGHT AROUND HIS 30TH BIRTHDAY
HE WENT TO THE JORDAN RIVER
00:06:25.45\00:06:29.12
WHERE HIS COUSIN, JOHN
THE BAPTIST, WAS BAPTIZING.
00:06:29.15\00:06:31.49
JOHN WAS INTRODUCING THE
MESSIAH, HE KNEW THAT HE WAS
00:06:31.52\00:06:34.09
TO BE A VOICE THAT WAS PREPARING
THE WORLD FOR THE COMING
00:06:34.12\00:06:37.13
OF THE MESSIAH.
AND WHEN HE SAW JESUS,
00:06:37.16\00:06:40.00
THE HOLY SPIRIT REVEALED
TO HIM, THIS IS THE ONE.
00:06:40.03\00:06:42.86
AND HE SAID, "BEHOLD! THE
LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKES AWAY
00:06:42.90\00:06:46.97
THE SIN OF THE WORLD!"
JOHN 1:29 POINTING TO JESUS.
00:06:47.00\00:06:50.37
MATTER OF FACT, JOHN
SAID THAT SEVERAL TIMES.
00:06:50.41\00:06:52.97
THOSE SACRIFICES THAT HAD BEEN
GOING ON FROM THE TIME OF ADAM
00:06:53.01\00:06:56.51
AND EVE, ALL THE WAY UP TO THAT
PRESENT TIME, ALL POINTED TO
00:06:56.54\00:07:00.22
JESUS WHO WAS THE LAMB
OF GOD. HE WAS THE PURPOSE,
00:07:00.25\00:07:04.39
THE FULFILLMENT OF ALL
OF THOSE SHADOWS AND TYPES.
00:07:04.42\00:07:07.62
WHEN CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN
00:07:07.66\00:07:09.89
AND FILLED HIM IN A SPECIAL WAY.
HE THEN WENT INTO HAND TO HAND
00:07:09.92\00:07:13.93
BATTLE WITH THE DEVIL
THERE IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:07:13.96\00:07:16.70
THE BIBLE TELLS IN ACTS
10:38, GOD--WHAT'S THAT WORD?
00:07:16.73\00:07:22.80
HE ANOINTED. WHAT DOES THE
WORD "MESSIAH" MEAN? ANOINTED.
00:07:22.84\00:07:27.08
WHAT DOES THE WORD "CHRIST"
OR "CHRISTOS" MEAN? ANOINTED.
00:07:27.11\00:07:30.18
AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS, WHAT
HAPPENED? "GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF
00:07:30.21\00:07:33.78
NAZARETH WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,"
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN.
00:07:33.82\00:07:36.79
HE BEGAN HIS MINISTRY EXACTLY
483 YEARS AFTER THE GOING FORTH
00:07:36.82\00:07:41.89
OF THE COMMANDMENT TO
RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM.
00:07:41.92\00:07:44.09
HE WENT AROUND DOING GOOD AND
HEALING--I'LL FINISH MY VERSE
00:07:44.13\00:07:46.59
HERE--"ALL THAT WERE OPPRESSED
BY THE DEVIL FOR GOD WAS WITH
00:07:46.63\00:07:50.30
HIM." WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
00:07:50.33\00:07:53.97
ONCE HE BEGAN HIS MINISTRY,
WHAT WAS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?
00:07:54.00\00:07:56.27
WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN CHRIST
BEGAN HIS MINISTRY, HE STOOD UP
00:07:56.30\00:07:58.87
IN HIS HOMETOWN CHURCH THERE
IN NAZARETH AND HE OPENED UP HIS
00:07:58.91\00:08:01.81
BIBLE TO ISAIAH 61, HE READ
A PROPHECY IN ISAIAH 61 ABOUT
00:08:01.84\00:08:07.12
THE MESSIAH, AND THEN HE
SAID, "TODAY THIS IS FULFILLED
00:08:07.15\00:08:10.22
IN YOUR EARS." THEY
KNEW HE WAS CLAIMING TO BE
00:08:10.25\00:08:13.69
THE MESSIAH 'CAUSE THEY TOOK HIM
OUT OF HIS OWN HOMETOWN CHURCH
00:08:13.72\00:08:16.69
AND WERE GONNA THROW
HIM OFF A CLIFF TO KILL HIM.
00:08:16.73\00:08:19.33
WHAT DID HE READ FROM?
IT SAYS IN ISAIAH 61:1,
00:08:19.36\00:08:23.16
"THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME
TO PREACH THE GOOD TIDINGS TO
00:08:23.20\00:08:25.57
THE POOR; HE'S SENT ME
TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED."
00:08:25.60\00:08:29.00
ANYONE HERE NEED JESUS? "TO
PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO CAPTIVES."
00:08:29.04\00:08:34.18
ANYONE NEED DELIVERANCE?
00:08:34.21\00:08:35.88
YOU NEED CHAINS
BROKEN, HABITS RESOLVED?
00:08:35.91\00:08:39.18
"AND THE OPENING OF
PRISON TO THOSE THAT ARE BOUND."
00:08:39.21\00:08:41.48
CHRIST CAME TO SET THE
CAPTIVES FREE, CAPTIVES TO SIN.
00:08:41.52\00:08:46.52
THE WHOLE EXODUS EXPERIENCE IS
TALKIN' ABOUT HOW JESUS SAVED A
00:08:46.55\00:08:49.29
NATION OF SLAVES TO DEMONSTRATE
HE CAN SAVE YOU FROM WHATEVER
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.09
YOUR SLAVERY IS.
THE SLAVERY OF SIN.
00:08:52.13\00:08:54.50
JESUS SAID, "WHOEVER
SINS IS A SLAVE TO SIN."
00:08:54.56\00:08:56.80
WE'RE ALL SLAVES AND
JESUS CAME TO SET US FREE.
00:08:56.83\00:09:00.27
CAN YOU SAY, "AMEN?"
00:09:00.30\00:09:02.97
WHEN THEY SENT ENEMIES TO SPY
ON JESUS, THEY CAME BACK AND YOU
00:09:03.00\00:09:06.57
KNOW WHAT THEY SAID?
EVEN HIS ENEMIES HAD TO ADMIT,
00:09:06.61\00:09:09.21
THEY SAID, "NO MAN
EVER SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN."
00:09:09.24\00:09:13.88
FINALLY WHEN IT CAME TIME
TO CONDEMN HIM, EVEN THE HIGH
00:09:13.92\00:09:15.92
PRIEST COULDN'T FIND
ANYTHING WRONG WITH HIM.
00:09:15.95\00:09:17.92
HE SAID, "WELL, HE MUST
PERISH TO SAVE THE NATION."
00:09:17.95\00:09:21.69
HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW PROPHETIC
HIS WORDS WERE AT THE TIME.
00:09:21.72\00:09:24.19
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT SURROUND
00:09:24.23\00:09:27.30
THE SCENES OF THE CROSS.
00:09:27.36\00:09:28.86
YOU KNOW, THE PROPHECIES ABOUT
JESUS AND THE MESSIAH, THEY'RE
00:09:28.90\00:09:31.77
SCATTERED THROUGH HISTORY, BUT
THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE EVENT
00:09:31.80\00:09:34.07
OF THE CROSS, IT'S LIKE A
TRAIN COMING, IT GETS LOUDER
00:09:34.10\00:09:37.41
AND LOUDER AND THERE ARE MORE
AND MORE PROPHECIES THAT FOCUS
00:09:37.44\00:09:40.78
ON THAT ACCESS OF
THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
00:09:40.81\00:09:43.28
THE CROSS IS AN AXLE ON
WHICH THE GOSPEL REVOLVES.
00:09:43.31\00:09:47.98
AND AS YOU GET CLOSER AND CLOSER
TO THE CENTER, THE PROPHECIES
00:09:48.02\00:09:51.52
BEGIN TO MULTIPLY AND INTENSIFY.
YOU KNOW, THE FINAL WEEK OF HIS
00:09:51.55\00:09:55.19
LIFE, WE'VE HEARD
ABOUT THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY.
00:09:55.22\00:09:58.39
AND HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO GO
FIND HIS DONKEY THAT HAD NEVER
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.66
BEEN RIDDEN ON BEFORE.
THEY BROUGHT IT TO HIM AND HE
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.87
RODE THIS DONKEY INTO TOWN, IT'S
CALLED 'THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY'.
00:10:04.90\00:10:08.47
AND HE WAS
FULFILLING THE PROPHECY.
00:10:08.50\00:10:10.17
ZECHARIAH 9:9, IT'S ALSO
REPEATED IN MATTHEW, "REJOICE
00:10:10.21\00:10:15.08
GREATLY, OH, DAUGHTER OF
ZION." SIX-HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE
00:10:15.11\00:10:18.61
JESUS WAS BORN. AND
WE KNOW FROM THE DEAD SEA
00:10:18.65\00:10:20.88
SCROLLS THAT THIS WAS
WRITTEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED.
00:10:20.92\00:10:23.52
"REJOICE GREATLY, OH,
DAUGHTER OF ZION. SHOUT, OH,
00:10:23.55\00:10:25.59
DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM.
BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO
00:10:25.62\00:10:27.92
YOU; HE IS JUST AND HAVING
SALVATION, LOWLY AND RIDING ON
00:10:27.96\00:10:32.43
A DONKEY, THE COLT,
THE FOAL OF A DONKEY."
00:10:32.46\00:10:36.30
IT HAPPENED EXACTLY AS
THE PROPHECIES HAD FORETOLD.
00:10:36.33\00:10:39.10
"HE IS JUST IN
HAVING SALVATION."
00:10:39.13\00:10:41.97
THAT WAS A PROPHECY ABOUT JESUS
THAT WAS LITERALLY FULFILLED
00:10:42.00\00:10:44.71
WHEN HE RODE INTO JERUSALEM
THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE.
00:10:44.74\00:10:47.81
IT FORETOLD HOW THE
MESSIAH WOULD BE BETRAYED IN
00:10:47.84\00:10:51.81
THE PROPHECIES. YOU
CAN READ IN PSALMS 41:9,
00:10:51.85\00:10:55.38
WRITTEN 1,000
YEARS BEFORE JESUS' TIME.
00:10:55.42\00:10:59.12
DAVID SAID THERE, "EVEN MINE
OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND IN WHOM I
00:10:59.15\00:11:03.19
TRUSTED, WHO ATE MY BREAD, HAS
LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME."
00:11:03.22\00:11:07.76
AND AGAIN, ZECHARIAH 11:12,
"THEN I SAID TO THEM, 'IF IT IS
00:11:07.83\00:11:13.50
AGREEABLE TO YOU, GIVE ME
MY WAGES; AND IF NOT, REFRAIN.'
00:11:13.54\00:11:17.21
SO THEY WEIGHED OUT FOR MY
WAGES THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER."
00:11:17.24\00:11:22.18
JESUS WAS BETRAYED BY
A FRIEND FOR WHAT AMOUNT?
00:11:22.21\00:11:25.88
WAS IT GOLD OR COPPER OR SILVER?
00:11:25.91\00:11:29.38
I MEAN, HOW COULD
YOU FORETELL THAT?
00:11:29.42\00:11:30.59
KEEP READING THE
PROPHECY, WE'RE NOT DONE YET.
00:11:30.62\00:11:32.62
"AND THE LORD SAID TO
ME, 'THROW IT TO THE POTTER'
00:11:32.65\00:11:36.42
THAT PRINCELY
PRICE THEY SET ON ME.
00:11:36.46\00:11:38.59
SO I TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES
OF SILVER AND I THREW THEM INTO
00:11:38.63\00:11:41.96
THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD TO THE POTTER."
00:11:42.00\00:11:44.67
THEN YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
AND YOU READ WHERE JUDAS, AFTER
00:11:44.70\00:11:46.97
HE BETRAYED JESUS, OVERWHELMED
WITH GUILT AND SHAME, HE WENT TO
00:11:47.00\00:11:50.07
THE TEMPLE, HE THREW THE MONEY
DOWN IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
00:11:50.11\00:11:53.27
AND HE SAID, "I
BETRAYED INNOCENT BLOOD."
00:11:53.31\00:11:54.71
THEY SAID, "THAT'S YOUR
PROBLEM, IT'S TOO LATE NOW."
00:11:54.74\00:11:56.58
HE WENT OUT AND HUNG HIMSELF.
THEY SAID, "WHAT DO WE DO WITH
00:11:56.61\00:11:58.38
THIS MONEY, WE CAN'T PUT
IT IN THE TREASURY, IT'S BLOOD
00:11:58.41\00:12:00.22
MONEY." THEY SAID,
"WELL, LET'S USE IT
00:12:00.25\00:12:02.08
TO BUY A POTTER'S
FIELD TO BURY STRANGERS IN."
00:12:02.12\00:12:06.89
THERE'S NO QUESTION, HOW COULD
JESUS HAVE FABRICATED THAT?
00:12:06.92\00:12:11.49
HOW COULD HE HAVE CONTRIVED
THAT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?
00:12:11.53\00:12:13.80
BETRAYED BY A FRIEND WITH A
KISS. ONLY TWO PEOPLE RECORDED
00:12:13.83\00:12:17.90
THAT I CAN THINK OF IN
THE BIBLE THAT KISSED JESUS.
00:12:17.93\00:12:20.07
JUDAS KISSED HIS
FACE AND BETRAYED HIM.
00:12:20.10\00:12:22.40
MARY KISSED HIS FEET AND
WORSHIPPED HIM AND SERVED HIM.
00:12:22.44\00:12:26.91
THE MANNER OF HIS DEATH;
PSALMS 22:16, DAVID FORETOLD
00:12:26.94\00:12:31.18
THAT HIS HANDS AND
HIS FEET WOULD BE PIERCED.
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.78
"FOR DOGS HAVE SURROUNDED ME;
THE CONGREGATION OF THE WICKED
00:12:33.82\00:12:36.92
HAS ENCLOSED ME. THEY
PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET."
00:12:36.95\00:12:41.09
THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE HE WAS
BORN, CRUCIFIXION WAS NOT EVEN
00:12:41.12\00:12:43.73
BEING USED FOR HUNDREDS OF
YEARS WHEN DAVID WROTE THAT.
00:12:43.76\00:12:47.00
HOW COULD THEY HAVE KNOWN?
00:12:47.03\00:12:48.26
IT GOES ON TO SAY IN THE SAME
PSALM, THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS
00:12:48.30\00:12:51.77
AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY
CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS.
00:12:51.80\00:12:53.77
AND IF YOU KNOW YOUR BIBLE EVEN
ELEMENTARY, YOU KNOW THAT THERE
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.20
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS,
THE SOLDIERS GAMBLED FOR HIS
00:12:56.24\00:12:58.17
CLOTHING, EXACTLY
AS IT WAS FORETOLD.
00:12:58.21\00:13:02.28
IT SAYS HERE IN MARK 15:24,
"AND WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED HIM,
00:13:02.31\00:13:06.68
THEY DIVIDED HIS GARMENTS,
CASTING LOTS FOR THEM TO
00:13:06.72\00:13:09.78
DETERMINE WHAT
EVERY MAN SHOULD TAKE."
00:13:09.82\00:13:12.02
ANOTHER PROPHECY ALSO
TELLS THAT HE WOULD BE PIERCED.
00:13:12.05\00:13:14.29
WE JUST READ THAT.
"WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS THEY
00:13:14.32\00:13:16.39
SAW THAT HE WAS ALREADY DEAD,
THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS.
00:13:16.42\00:13:20.00
BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS
PIERCED HIS SIDE WITH A SPEAR,
00:13:20.03\00:13:24.10
AND IMMEDIATELY
BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT."
00:13:24.13\00:13:26.90
IT SAID, HIS HANDS AND
HIS FEET WOULD BE PIERCED.
00:13:26.94\00:13:29.47
IT SAYS, "I'LL LOOK UPON
THE ONE WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED,"
00:13:29.50\00:13:32.67
JUST AS THE
SCRIPTURES HAD FORETOLD.
00:13:32.71\00:13:34.58
"FOR THESE THINGS WERE DONE,"
JOHN 19:33, "THAT THE SCRIPTURE
00:13:34.61\00:13:39.81
SHOULD BE FULFILLED, NOT ONE
OF HIS BONES SHALL BE BROKEN."
00:13:39.85\00:13:43.69
AND AGAIN, ANOTHER SCRIPTURE
THAT SAYS, "THEY WILL LOOK ON
00:13:43.72\00:13:46.09
THE ONE WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED."
00:13:46.12\00:13:48.42
EVEN JOHN, THE APOSTLE, IS
LOOKING AT THESE OLD TESTAMENT
00:13:48.46\00:13:51.39
PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH AND
HE'S SAYING, "LOOK HOW VIVIDLY
00:13:51.43\00:13:53.60
IT'S FULFILLED IN JESUS."
HERE ARE THE SOLDIERS, THEY GO
00:13:53.63\00:13:56.10
TO THE THIEF ON THE
RIGHT, THEY BREAK HIS LEGS.
00:13:56.13\00:13:57.97
THEY GO TO THE THIEF ON
THE LEFT, THEY BREAK HIS LEGS,
00:13:58.00\00:14:00.20
BUT THEY DON'T
BREAK JESUS' LEGS.
00:14:00.24\00:14:02.37
BECAUSE THE PROPHECY
SAID, THEY WILL NOT BE BROKEN.
00:14:02.40\00:14:04.37
HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD, THE
PASSOVER LAMB, THEY WERE NOT
00:14:04.41\00:14:06.47
TO BREAK THE BONES
AS A TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:14:06.51\00:14:10.38
NOW, WE'RE GOING BACK TO DANIEL.
00:14:10.41\00:14:11.88
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HIS MINISTRY,
HE'LL CONFIRM THE COVENANT,
00:14:11.91\00:14:14.78
THE BIBLE SAYS. THE
COVENANT OF SALVATION THAT
00:14:14.82\00:14:17.19
GOD HAS MADE WITH HIS PEOPLE.
BY THE WAY, THERE IS NO EXAMPLE
00:14:17.22\00:14:21.52
IN THE BIBLE OF THE MESSIAH
MAKING A COVENANT WITH ANYTHING
00:14:21.56\00:14:24.99
BUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE, DID YOU
KNOW THAT? THERE'S NO COVENANT.
00:14:25.03\00:14:28.40
IT DOESN'T SAY, I'LL MAKE
A COVENANT WITH THE GENTILES
00:14:28.43\00:14:30.20
AND SAVE THEM FROM THEIR SINS.
00:14:30.23\00:14:31.70
THE COVENANT OF THE GENTILES
IS THAT THEY WOULD BECOME
00:14:31.73\00:14:33.87
SPIRITUAL JEWS;
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:14:33.90\00:14:37.27
IF YOU ARE CHRIST THEN
YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED.
00:14:37.31\00:14:39.67
BACK IN DANIEL 9:27, IT
SAID THAT AFTER HIS BAPTISM, "HE
00:14:39.71\00:14:44.71
WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT
WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK."
00:14:44.75\00:14:47.68
THE COVENANT THAT HE HAD
MADE WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB,
00:14:47.72\00:14:49.52
JOSEPH, MOSES, HE'D CONFIRMED
THAT COVENANT HE HAD MADE WITH
00:14:49.55\00:14:54.39
THEM OF SALVATION.
FOR ONE WEEK, IF A DAY IS
00:14:54.42\00:14:57.19
A YEAR IN PROPHECY, HOW
LONG IS ONE WEEK? SEVEN YEARS.
00:14:57.23\00:15:01.66
AND NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS
DURING THAT LAST 7 YEARS WHEN HE
00:15:01.70\00:15:04.87
BEGINS HIS MINISTRY AT HIS
BAPTISM, 27 A.D., HE'S GONNA
00:15:04.90\00:15:08.37
CONFIRM THE COVENANT FOR
7 YEARS. BUT IN THE MIDST OF
00:15:08.40\00:15:11.41
THAT 7 YEARS, IT TELLS US IN
9:27 OF DANIEL, "HE WILL CAUSE
00:15:11.44\00:15:16.41
THE SACRIFICE AND
THE OBLATION TO CEASE."
00:15:16.44\00:15:19.51
THE WHOLE PURPOSE FOR THE
SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WILL HAVE
00:15:19.55\00:15:21.98
MET ITS FULFILLMENT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THAT TIME.
00:15:22.02\00:15:25.49
HOW LONG DID JESUS MINISTER
FROM THE TIME OF HIS BAPTISM?
00:15:25.52\00:15:28.69
MATTHEW 27:50, "WHEN JESUS
DIED ON THE CROSS, HE CRIED OUT
00:15:28.72\00:15:33.73
AGAIN WITH A LOUD VOICE,
AND HE YIELDED UP HIS SPIRIT.
00:15:33.76\00:15:37.77
THEN BEHOLD THE VEIL IN
THE TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO."
00:15:37.80\00:15:43.07
EXPOSING THE MOST HOLY PLACE
IN THE JEWISH NATION, WHERE
00:15:43.10\00:15:45.77
THE COVENANT WAS, THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT HAD BEEN THERE.
00:15:45.81\00:15:49.58
EXPOSING--IT'S EMPTY NOW,
'CAUSE IT HAD BEEN CAPTURED.
00:15:49.61\00:15:52.51
OR IT--WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS
DESTROYED, THEY'D HIDDEN THE ARK
00:15:52.55\00:15:55.22
OF THE COVENANT AND NO ONE
KNOWS WHERE IT WAS. SO, WHEN THE
00:15:55.25\00:15:58.09
TEMPLE VEIL WAS RIPPED IN
TWO, IT OPENED UP AND THERE'S NO
00:15:58.12\00:16:01.99
COVENANT THERE ANYMORE. WHEN DID
THAT HAPPEN? WHEN JESUS SAID,
00:16:02.02\00:16:05.49
"IT IS FINISHED" AND
HE DIED ON THE CROSS.
00:16:05.53\00:16:07.60
IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK, THAT
LAST 7 YEARS WHEN HE CONFIRMED
00:16:07.60\00:16:10.77
THE COVENANT, HE
CAUSED THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.37
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT YOU
UNDERSTAND THIS, BECAUSE,
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.00
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME DEAR
CHRISTIANS IN OTHER CHURCHES
00:16:15.04\00:16:17.81
THAT THINK, THE ONE WHO
CONFIRMS THE COVENANT IS
00:16:17.84\00:16:19.57
THE DEVIL, THE ANTI-CHRIST.
00:16:19.61\00:16:22.18
BOY, YOU GOTTA GET THIS RIGHT,
FRIENDS. I MEAN, YOU CAN MAKE
00:16:22.21\00:16:24.28
SOME MISTAKES IN THE BIBLE, BUT
DON'T CONFUSE THE ANTI-CHRIST
00:16:24.31\00:16:27.02
FOR JESUS, THAT'S A BIG MISTAKE.
NOW, LET'S GO BACK TO OUR
00:16:27.05\00:16:31.12
PROPHECY AGAIN, THIS 70
WEEK PROPHECY OF DANIEL 9.
00:16:31.15\00:16:35.52
THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND
TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM.
00:16:35.56\00:16:38.53
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS, MESSIAH IS
ANOINTED, 27 A.D. IN THE MIDST
00:16:38.56\00:16:44.27
OF THE WEEK, 31 A.D., JESUS
CAUSES THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.
00:16:44.30\00:16:50.11
BUT YOU'RE SAYING, "DOUG,
THERE'S ANOTHER 3 1/2 YEARS,
00:16:50.14\00:16:52.77
HOW COULD HE CONTINUE
TO CONFIRM THE COVENANT FOR
00:16:52.81\00:16:54.78
3 1/2 MORE YEARS
AFTER HE'S GONE TO HEAVEN?"
00:16:54.81\00:16:58.31
STAY WITH ME, WE'LL
GIVE YOU THE ANSWER TO THAT.
00:16:58.35\00:17:00.38
ALSO, ANOTHER POINT, PROPHECIES
ABOUT HIS RESURRECTION
00:17:00.42\00:17:03.69
AND ASCENSION ARE
REPLETE IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:03.72\00:17:06.49
FOR INSTANCE, YOU JUST
READ ISAIAH 53 WHEN YOU GO HOME.
00:17:06.52\00:17:09.59
THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT JESUS
IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THAT.
00:17:09.62\00:17:12.03
HE IS THE SUFFERING SERVANT
THERE. "HE MADE HIS GRAVE WITH
00:17:12.06\00:17:15.00
THE WICKED, AND WITH
THE RICH IN HIS DEATH."
00:17:15.03\00:17:18.27
HERE, JESUS IS CRUCIFIED
BETWEEN TWO CONDEMNED CRIMINALS,
00:17:18.30\00:17:22.47
THIEVES, MURDERERS,
MAKES HIS GRAVE WITH THEM,
00:17:22.50\00:17:25.31
AND YET HE'S BURIED
IN A RICH MAN'S TOMB.
00:17:25.34\00:17:27.18
HOW COULD YOU EVER PREDICT THAT
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO MAKE THEIR
00:17:27.21\00:17:29.38
GRAVE WITH THE WICKED AND
YET BE BURIED WITH THE RICH?
00:17:29.41\00:17:32.81
UNLESS IT'S A MAFIA CEMETERY,
I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE THAT
00:17:32.85\00:17:35.72
WOULD APPLY. PSALMS
16:10, "YOU WILL NOT
00:17:35.75\00:17:40.99
LEAVE MY SOUL IN SHEOL, THE
GRAVE, NOR WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR
00:17:41.02\00:17:45.79
HOLY ONE--" THAT'S THE
MESSIAH, "TO SUFFER CORRUPTION."
00:17:45.83\00:17:48.86
THE JEWS USED TO BELIEVE
AFTER 4 DAYS, OR AFTER 3 DAYS, I
00:17:48.90\00:17:52.47
SHOULD SAY, CORRUPTION
SET IN. THAT'S WHY WHEN JESUS
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.30
RESURRECTED LAZARUS AFTER
4 DAYS, THEY WENT, "WOW, HE
00:17:54.34\00:17:57.77
REASSEMBLED HIM, HE
WAS ALREADY DECOMPOSING."
00:17:57.81\00:18:00.61
BUT THE MESSIAH WOULD NOT
DECOMPOSE; HE WOULD BE RAISED
00:18:00.64\00:18:04.08
BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.
AND THEN WHEN HE APPEARS TO
00:18:04.11\00:18:07.38
THEM IN THE UPPER ROOM, AND
HE'S GOT THE SCARS ON HIS HANDS
00:18:07.42\00:18:10.99
AND HIS FEET, THEY
KNOW THAT HE IS THE ONE.
00:18:11.02\00:18:14.19
HE OPENS TO THEM THE SCRIPTURES,
HE SAID, "NOW, I'M NOT DONE YET.
00:18:14.22\00:18:17.49
WE STILL MUST CONFIRM
THE COVENANT FOR ANOTHER
00:18:17.53\00:18:20.10
3 1/2 YEARS--" I'M
PARAPHRASING. HE SAYS,
00:18:20.13\00:18:22.30
"AS THE FATHER SENT ME, SO SEND
I YOU." SO, HOW DOES THE LORD
00:18:22.33\00:18:26.70
CONFIRM THE COVENANT
FOR THAT LAST 3 1/2 YEARS?
00:18:26.74\00:18:29.57
I'M SO THANKFUL FOR HEBREWS 2:3,
LISTEN TO WHAT PAUL SAYS HERE,
00:18:29.60\00:18:34.18
"HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE
NEGLECT--" SOME PEOPLE DON'T
00:18:34.21\00:18:39.01
DELIBERATELY SAY NO TO
JESUS, THEY JUST NEGLECT JESUS.
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.62
THIS IS A QUESTION THAT
NOBODY CAN REALLY ANSWER.
00:18:42.65\00:18:45.59
"HOW SHALL YOU ESCAPE IF YOU
NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION,
00:18:45.62\00:18:49.09
WHICH AT THE FIRST BEGAN
TO BE SPOKEN OF BY THE LORD,"
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.79
CATCH THIS, "AND WAS--"
WHAT'S THAT WORD? "CONFIRMED."
00:18:52.83\00:18:57.47
THE SALVATION COVENANT
WAS FIRST SPOKEN 3 1/2 YEARS
00:18:57.50\00:19:00.37
BY THE LORD, ANOTHER 3 1/2
YEARS CONFIRMED BY THOSE WHO
00:19:00.40\00:19:05.47
HEARD HIM; THE APOSTLES. HE
SAID, "I HAVE TRAINED YOU TO
00:19:05.51\00:19:08.61
FILL MY SHOES, I'VE CONFIRMED IT
FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. I'VE MADE THE
00:19:08.64\00:19:11.21
SACRIFICE CEASE, AS THE
FATHER SENT ME, SO SEND I YOU.
00:19:11.25\00:19:14.52
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU MY
SPIRIT SO YOU CAN DO MY WORK."
00:19:14.55\00:19:17.22
AND WHAT HAPPENS
3 1/2 YEARS LATER?
00:19:17.25\00:19:19.99
STEPHEN PREACHES TO THE
JEWISH SUPREME COURT, ONE OF THE
00:19:20.02\00:19:22.42
MIGHTIEST SERMONS IN THE BIBLE.
YOU CAN READ IT THERE IN ACTS 7.
00:19:22.46\00:19:25.63
HIS FACE IS SHINING, HE SEES
HEAVEN OPEN, HE PREACHES WITH
00:19:25.66\00:19:28.80
ALL THE POWER THAT CHRIST
PREACHED WITH. HE COULD SEE
00:19:28.83\00:19:31.10
JESUS' FACE EMPOWERING
HIM. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID?
00:19:31.13\00:19:36.07
THE LEADERS OF THE JEWISH
NATION, THEY PLUGGED THEIR EARS,
00:19:36.10\00:19:39.77
THEY TOOK HIM OUT OF
THE CITY, THEY EXECUTED HIM.
00:19:39.81\00:19:43.51
STEPHEN DIES VERY MUCH AFTER
3 1/2 YEARS OF THE APOSTLES
00:19:43.55\00:19:47.28
PREACHING, HE DIES
VERY MUCH LIKE JESUS DIED.
00:19:47.32\00:19:49.88
MOCK TRIAL TAKEN OUTSIDE
OF THE CITY, QUICKLY EXECUTED,
00:19:49.92\00:19:55.29
AND AS HE'S DYING HE PRAYS FOR
THE FORGIVENESS OF HIS KILLERS,
00:19:55.32\00:20:01.86
JUST LIKE JESUS DID.
CHRIST CONFIRMED THE COVENANT
00:20:01.90\00:20:05.17
FOR 3 1/2 YEARS,
CAUSED THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.
00:20:05.20\00:20:08.17
FOR THE LAST 3 1/2 YEARS, HE
DID IT THROUGH THE DISCIPLES.
00:20:08.20\00:20:11.87
YOU KNOW, UP TO THAT TIME
THEY WERE NOT PREACHING TO ANY
00:20:11.91\00:20:13.88
GENTILES. THEY
WERE JUST GOING TO
00:20:13.91\00:20:15.98
THE LOST SHEEP OF
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
00:20:16.01\00:20:17.58
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT'S POURED
OUT OF PENTECOST, WERE THOSE
00:20:17.61\00:20:20.78
PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER
THE WORLD OR WERE THEY JEWS?
00:20:20.82\00:20:22.48
THERE WERE DWELLING IN
JERUSALEM, JEWS, DEVOUT MEN OUT
00:20:22.52\00:20:24.52
OF EVERY NATION. FIVE THOUSAND
BAPTIZED LATER, ALL JEWS.
00:20:24.55\00:20:28.69
THEY WERE JUST
PREACHING IN THE SYNAGOGUES.
00:20:28.72\00:20:30.79
RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPENS,
GUESS WHO WAS A WITNESS AT
00:20:30.83\00:20:33.60
THE STONING OF STEVEN?
SOMEONE NAMED SAUL WHO'S NAME
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.56
WAS CHANGED TO PAUL WHO
THEN BECAME THE APOSTLE TO
00:20:36.60\00:20:38.67
THE GENTILES. YOU GOT
THE DECREE 457, BAPTISM
00:20:38.70\00:20:43.27
OF CHRIST 483 YEARS LATER,
THE CROSS 31 A.D., HE CAUSES
00:20:43.30\00:20:49.58
THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE, 3
1/2 YEARS MORE, HE CONFIRMS
00:20:49.61\00:20:53.28
THE COVENANT JUST
WITH THE JEWISH NATION.
00:20:53.31\00:20:55.28
SEVENTY YEARS, 70 WEEKS RATHER,
WERE SET ASIDE FOR THE JEWISH
00:20:55.32\00:20:58.49
NATION TO PRESENT
THE MESSIAH TO THE WORLD.
00:20:58.52\00:21:00.99
ALL THE EARLY CHURCH THEY
WERE JEWS AND THEY PRESENTED THE
00:21:01.02\00:21:03.89
MESSIAH TO THE WORLD. THEN THE
GENTILES TOOK IT LIKE WILD FIRE.
00:21:03.93\00:21:06.83
"AND IT'S STILL AVAILABLE
TO JEW AND GENTILE," PAUL SAYS.
00:21:06.86\00:21:10.37
IT'S AMAZING, YOU READ THE
PROPHECIES AND YOU CAN FIND
00:21:10.40\00:21:13.20
CLEARLY THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH
IS FORETOLD, THAT HE'D BE BORN
00:21:13.23\00:21:16.77
OF A VIRGIN, THE PLACE OF HIS
BIRTH, THE TIME OF HIS BAPTISM,
00:21:16.81\00:21:20.18
THE TYPE AND THE LENGTH OF
HIS MINISTRY, THE EVENTS OF HIS
00:21:20.21\00:21:22.41
BETRAYAL, THE MANNER OF HIS
EXECUTION, THE RESURRECTION AND
00:21:22.44\00:21:24.88
ASCENSION, AND IT ALL
HAPPENED RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
00:21:24.91\00:21:28.18
SOMEBODY DID SOME STATISTICAL
RESEARCH TO FIND OUT, WHAT IS
00:21:28.22\00:21:31.42
THE PROBABILITY OF ONE PERSON
FULFILLING ALL THOSE PROPHECIES
00:21:31.45\00:21:34.79
AND NOT BEING THE CHRIST.
PROFESSOR PETER W. STONER,
00:21:34.82\00:21:39.09
WHO AUTHORED THE BOOK,
"SCIENCE SPEAKS," HE STATED
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.66
THE PROBABILITY--HE DID A BUNCH
OF STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS,
00:21:41.70\00:21:44.27
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO THAT.
THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY THAT
00:21:44.30\00:21:47.40
JUST 8 OF THESE PROPHECIES, OUT
OF 300, 8 OF THESE PROPHECIES
00:21:47.44\00:21:52.31
BEING FULFILLED IN 1 PERSON,
IS 1 IN 10 TO THE 17TH POWER.
00:21:52.34\00:21:58.81
THAT'S A 1 WITH
17 ZEROS BEHIND IT.
00:21:58.85\00:22:03.59
PICTURE THE STATE OF
TEXAS. YOU EVER BEEN THERE?
00:22:03.62\00:22:06.62
YOU CAN DRIVE A LONG
TIME AND NOT GET ACROSS TEXAS.
00:22:06.65\00:22:09.39
COVER TEXAS WITH QUARTERS, EVERY
INCH OF TEXAS IS COVERED WITH
00:22:09.42\00:22:14.96
QUARTERS SO THEY'RE
ALL TOUCHING 2 FEET DEEP.
00:22:15.00\00:22:20.47
THEN ASK A BLIND MAN TO
WALK ACROSS TEXAS AND FIND ONE
00:22:20.50\00:22:24.07
SPECIFIC QUARTER. THAT'S
THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY
00:22:24.11\00:22:29.18
OF IT BEING AN ACCIDENT
THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.
00:22:29.21\00:22:33.28
I WANT TO QUICKLY COVER THIS
POINT HERE, THIS FINAL POINT.
00:22:33.31\00:22:36.18
WHY DID CHRIST COME?
THE BIBLE TELLS US A:
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.52
HE CAME FOR 3 PRIMARY
REASONS, TO BE OUR EXAMPLE.
00:22:38.55\00:22:42.42
HE SAID, "THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU
AN EXAMPLE THAT YOU SHOULD DO AS
00:22:42.46\00:22:46.53
I HAVE DONE TO YOU." CHRIST
IS AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU AND ME.
00:22:46.56\00:22:50.50
B: HE WANTS TO SHOW US
HOW TO LOVE EACH OTHER.
00:22:50.53\00:22:53.67
IT SAYS, "HE'S COME
TO SHOW US THE FATHER."
00:22:53.70\00:22:56.37
THERE'S A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS,
PEOPLE THINK THAT GOD IS THIS
00:22:56.40\00:22:58.57
GREAT DESPOT UP IN THE SKY
THAT'S JUST WAITING FOR US TO
00:22:58.61\00:23:01.61
DO SOMETHING
WRONG. GOD LOVES US.
00:23:01.64\00:23:04.28
JESUS SAID, "IF YOU'VE
SEEN ME, YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER.
00:23:04.31\00:23:07.18
I'VE COME TO
SHOW YOU THE FATHER."
00:23:07.22\00:23:09.28
HE WAS AN--THE
REFLECTION OF THE FATHER.
00:23:09.32\00:23:12.59
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT JESUS, HIS
LOVE, HIS MERCY, HIS KINDNESS,
00:23:12.62\00:23:15.89
HIS MEEKNESS, HIS TENDERNESS,
HIS PATIENCE. YOU'RE GETTING
00:23:15.92\00:23:18.73
THE PICTURE OF GOD, THAT GOD
THAT LOVES YOU. HE ALSO CAME,
00:23:18.76\00:23:23.06
OF COURSE, TO BE OUR
SUBSTITUTE, TO TAKE OUR PLACE.
00:23:23.10\00:23:26.97
SOMEBODY WROTE THIS IN
A WAY I CAN'T IMPROVE ON.
00:23:27.00\00:23:30.17
"HE DESCENDED
THAT WE MIGHT ASCEND.
00:23:30.21\00:23:32.17
HE BECAME POOR
THAT WE MIGHT BE RICH.
00:23:32.21\00:23:35.18
HE WAS BORN THAT WE
MIGHT BE BORN AGAIN.
00:23:35.21\00:23:38.18
HE BECAME A SERVANT
THAT WE MIGHT BECOME SONS.
00:23:38.21\00:23:41.68
HE HAD NO HOME THAT WE
MIGHT HAVE A HOME IN HEAVEN.
00:23:41.72\00:23:44.02
HE WAS HUNGRY
THAT WE MIGHT BE FED.
00:23:44.05\00:23:45.89
HE WAS THIRSTY THAT
WE MIGHT BE SATISFIED.
00:23:45.92\00:23:48.29
HE WAS STRIPPED
THAT WE MIGHT BE CLOTHED.
00:23:48.32\00:23:50.49
HE WAS FORSAKEN THAT
WE MIGHT NOT BE FORSAKEN.
00:23:50.53\00:23:52.93
HE WAS A MAN OF
SORROWS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE JOY.
00:23:52.96\00:23:55.46
HE WAS BOUND
THAT WE MIGHT GO FREE.
00:23:55.50\00:23:57.80
HE WAS MADE SIN THAT WE
MIGHT BE MADE RIGHTEOUS.
00:23:57.83\00:24:00.87
HE DIED THAT WE MIGHT LIVE.
00:24:00.90\00:24:03.27
HE CAME DOWN
THAT WE MIGHT GO UP.
00:24:03.30\00:24:05.37
HE WAS BORN IN A BARN
THAT WE CAN LIVE IN A MANSION."
00:24:05.41\00:24:09.61
JESUS CAME FOR THAT PURPOSE
AND HE'S COME TO YOU TONIGHT.
00:24:09.64\00:24:15.28
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO
NOT ONLY BE THE CHRIST,
00:24:15.32\00:24:17.72
HE WANTS TO BE YOUR SAVIOR.
EVEN THE CENTURION WHO GUARDED
00:24:17.75\00:24:22.09
THE CRUCIFIXION, WHEN HE
SAW THE EVENTS AROUND THE CROSS
00:24:22.12\00:24:25.43
AND HE SAW THE DEVIL'S LOVE
FOR POWER IN THE MOB AND HE SAW
00:24:25.46\00:24:29.00
JESUS' POWER OF LOVE.
JUST STANDING ON THE SIDELINES
00:24:29.03\00:24:33.07
HE SAID, "TRULY
THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD!"
00:24:33.10\00:24:38.27
IF YOU READ THE
BIBLE YOU'LL FIND THAT TOO.
00:24:38.31\00:24:40.88
JESUS IS THE ONE, HE'S
THE MESSIAH, HE'S THE SAVIOR.
00:24:40.91\00:24:44.28
AND HE'S COMING TO THIS WORLD,
NOT JUST TO SAVE THE WHOLE
00:24:44.31\00:24:46.72
WORLD, BUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL.
00:24:46.75\00:24:49.92
HE NOT ONLY DIED FOR THE SINS
OF THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT HE DIED
00:24:49.95\00:24:51.99
FOR YOUR SINS. HAVE YOU
INVITED HIM TO BE YOUR SAVIOR?

THE SECOND COMING
OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE.

CHRIST IS SUCH A PRIORITY WITH

GOD, IT SHOULD BE
AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS.
00:27:12.83\00:27:16.00
WE NEED TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS
COMING, THAT HE'S COMING SOON,
00:27:16.03\00:27:19.47
AND SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S
COMING BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS

TO IMPERSONATE CHRIST'S RETURN.
