>>THIS MORNING I'M GOING TO
00:00:40.33\00:00:48.33
BEGIN A SERIES AND, TO BE
HONEST, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT
00:00:48.33\00:00:50.56
WILL LAST. I'M SURE
I WON'T BE DONE TODAY,
00:00:50.56\00:00:53.26
THAT'S ALL. DEALING
WITH THE THEME OF JESUS
00:00:53.26\00:00:59.66
THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE.
WHEN IT COMES TO THE STORIES IN
00:00:59.66\00:01:03.20
THE BIBLE, YOU CAN SEE IN
THEIR LIVES SHADOWS AND TYPES OF
00:01:03.20\00:01:08.76
CHRIST THAT ARE VERY
PROMINENT AND UNDENIABLE.
00:01:08.76\00:01:13.03
TALKING ABOUT SHADOWS AND TYPES,
FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU LOOK IN
00:01:13.03\00:01:16.46
JOHN - THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 45 - IT TELLS
00:01:16.46\00:01:22.83
US THAT AFTER PHILIP MET JESUS
HE WENT AND HE "FOUND NATHANAEL
00:01:22.83\00:01:28.60
AND SAID TO HIM, 'WE HAVE FOUND
HIM OF WHOM MOSES IN THE LAW,
00:01:28.60\00:01:33.90
AND ALSO THE PROPHETS, WROTE,
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE SON OF
00:01:33.90\00:01:38.40
JOSEPH.'" HERE
PHILIP IS SAYING ALL
00:01:38.40\00:01:41.20
THROUGH THE BIBLE THEY
WERE WRITING ABOUT JESUS.
00:01:41.20\00:01:45.46
NOW, YOU DON'T FIND JESUS' NAME,
PER SE, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
00:01:45.46\00:01:49.20
BUT YOU DO FIND TYPES OF CHRIST
ALL THE WAY FROM THE WRITINGS OF
00:01:49.20\00:01:53.23
MOSES TO MALACHI. THESE
SYMBOLS ARE THERE AND GOD
00:01:53.23\00:01:57.46
WANTS US TO READ OUR BIBLES
AND RECOGNIZE THESE ANALOGIES
00:01:57.46\00:02:00.80
BECAUSE IT'LL
STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH.
00:02:00.80\00:02:03.00
WE'RE GOING TO QUICKLY FLY OVER
MANY OF THESE GREAT CHARACTERS
00:02:03.00\00:02:06.50
OF THE BIBLE AND THESE EVENTS,
BUT I WANT YOU TO BEGIN TO LOOK
00:02:06.50\00:02:09.46
AT YOUR BIBLE AND SEE THAT IT'S
MORE THAN JUST A HISTORY BOOK.
00:02:09.46\00:02:13.06
IT IS A SUPERNATURAL BOOK.
THE ONLY WAY ALL OF THESE TYPES
00:02:13.06\00:02:17.03
AND SHADOWS COULD BE THERE IS IF
SOMEBODY IN CONTROL OF HISTORY
00:02:17.03\00:02:22.00
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BIBLE.
ALRIGHT, WHO'S THE FIRST MAN
00:02:22.00\00:02:25.43
IN THE BIBLE? ADAM.
00:02:25.43\00:02:29.26
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WE READ
THAT JESUS IS THE SECOND ADAM.
00:02:29.26\00:02:33.60
FOR INSTANCE, JESUS IS IN
ADAM, ADAM'S A TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:02:33.60\00:02:38.06
ROMANS CHAPTER 5, VERSE 14,
"NEVERTHELESS DEATH REIGNED FROM
00:02:38.06\00:02:43.70
ADAM TO MOSES, EVEN OVER THOSE
WHO HAD NOT SINNED ACCORDING TO
00:02:43.70\00:02:48.36
THE LIKENESS OF THE
TRANSGRESSION OF ADAM, WHO IS A
00:02:48.36\00:02:51.50
TYPE" - NOW THE IDEA OF BIBLE
TYPOLOGY - PASTOR DOUG'S NOT
00:02:51.50\00:02:56.33
INVENTING THAT - THE BIBLE
WRITERS LOOKED FOR THESE TYPES
00:02:56.33\00:02:59.46
AND SYMBOLS - "...ADAM, WHO IS
A TYPE OF HIM WHO WAS TO COME."
00:02:59.46\00:03:04.36
SO YOU'RE READING IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT PAUL SAID, 'ADAM IS A
00:03:04.36\00:03:07.66
TYPE OF THE ONE WHO IS TO
COME, THE SECOND ADAM, JESUS.'
00:03:07.66\00:03:12.00
WHAT ARE SOME WAYS THAT
ADAM IS A TYPE OF CHRIST?
00:03:12.00\00:03:17.10
ADAM WENT TO SLEEP ON
FRIDAY AND GOD PUT HIM TO SLEEP.
00:03:17.10\00:03:24.43
HE BREATHED - HE STOPPED
BREATHING AND - OH, I'M SORRY -
00:03:24.43\00:03:28.70
ADAM BREATHED HIS FIRST ON
FRIDAY, JESUS BREATHED HIS LAST
00:03:28.70\00:03:32.63
ON FRIDAY. ADAM
THEN WENT TO SLEEP, GOD
00:03:32.63\00:03:35.46
OPENED HIS SIDE AND
BROUGHT OUT HIS WIFE.
00:03:35.46\00:03:38.53
IT'S NOT HOW MOST OF US GET
MARRIED, BUT JESUS WENT TO SLEEP
00:03:38.53\00:03:42.36
ON FRIDAY, A SPEAR OPENED UP HIS
SIDE AND THROUGH THAT BLOOD AND
00:03:42.36\00:03:45.96
THAT WATER HIS BRIDE
- HIS CHURCH - WAS BORN.
00:03:45.96\00:03:50.86
ADAM FELL IN A GARDEN.
JESUS WAS VICTORIOUS IN A
00:03:50.86\00:03:56.43
WILDERNESS. YOU
SEE HOW THIS WORKS?
00:03:56.43\00:03:59.50
THERE'S SYMBOLS AND TYPES THERE
THAT TELL US THAT CHRIST IS THE
00:03:59.50\00:04:03.30
SECOND ADAM AND AS REAL AS - THE
FIRST ADAM FELL AND YOU ALL FEEL
00:04:03.30\00:04:07.83
THAT FALL IN YOUR NATURES, DON'T
YOU? YOU CAN, THROUGH FAITH,
00:04:07.83\00:04:12.20
GET THE DNA OF THE SECOND ADAM,
JESUS, AND BECOME VICTORIOUS.
00:04:12.20\00:04:17.43
THE REALITY OF YOUR STRUGGLE
WITH TEMPTATION - BECAUSE OF THE
00:04:17.43\00:04:21.96
FALL OF THE FIRST ADAM - YOU
CAN HAVE THE REALITY OF VICTORY
00:04:21.96\00:04:25.90
BECAUSE OF THE
VICTORY OF THE SECOND ADAM.
00:04:25.90\00:04:28.03
IT CAN BE YOURS JUST AS MUCH
BECAUSE YOU ARE ADOPTED INTO HIS
00:04:28.03\00:04:31.53
FAMILY. YOU CAN
EXPERIENCE THAT VICTORY.
00:04:31.53\00:04:33.93
IT'S VERY REAL. SO
THESE SYMBOLS ARE ALSO
00:04:33.93\00:04:35.93
REDEMPTIVE. THEY'RE
TEACHING US SOMETHING
00:04:35.93\00:04:38.26
THAT'S VERY PRACTICAL.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON.
00:04:38.26\00:04:41.16
CAIN AND ABEL. ABEL IS THE
FIRST ONE TO DIE IN THE BIBLE.
00:04:41.16\00:04:47.86
HE IS A GOOD SHEPHERD.
JESUS IS OUR GOOD SHEPHERD.
00:04:47.86\00:04:53.06
THE FIRST TIME YOU FIND THE WORD
'BLOOD' IN THE BIBLE IS SPEAKING
00:04:53.06\00:04:57.43
ABOUT THE BLOOD OF
ABEL THAT SPEAKS TO GOD.
00:04:57.43\00:05:02.76
THE BLOOD OF ABEL THAT
CRIES TO GOD FROM THE GROUND.
00:05:02.76\00:05:06.80
ABEL OFFERS A SACRIFICE
AND THEN HE LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE.
00:05:06.80\00:05:12.06
IT DOESN'T SAY HE
EVER RESISTED HIS BROTHER.
00:05:12.06\00:05:15.56
WELL, YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK
OF HEBREWS CHAPTER 12, "JESUS
00:05:15.56\00:05:20.00
THE MEDIATOR OF THE
NEW COVENANT...THE BLOOD OF
00:05:20.00\00:05:23.53
SPRINKLING THAT SPEAKS BETTER
THINGS THAN THAT OF ABEL."
00:05:23.53\00:05:27.33
IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE BLOOD
OF ABEL SPOKE TO THE FATHER, THE
00:05:27.33\00:05:29.76
BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS TO THE
FATHER AND WHEN YOU AND I PLEAD
00:05:29.76\00:05:32.50
HIS BLOOD WE ARE FORGIVEN.
00:05:32.50\00:05:35.90
YOU KNOW, GOD EVEN
SHOWED MERCY ON CAIN, DIDN'T HE?
00:05:35.90\00:05:39.03
HE SAID, 'MY SIN IS
TOO GREAT FOR ME TO BEAR.
00:05:39.03\00:05:41.33
ALL THAT FIND ME WILL KILL
ME.' AND GOD SHOWED CAIN MERCY.
00:05:41.33\00:05:46.50
HE SAID, 'I'LL PLACE A MARK
ON YOU LEST ANY THAT LATER COME
00:05:46.50\00:05:49.83
WILL KILL YOU.' WELL
WE FIND MERCY BECAUSE OF
00:05:49.83\00:05:54.16
THE BLOOD OF
JESUS, OUR GOOD SHEPHERD.
00:05:54.16\00:05:57.60
LET ME READ SOMETHING TO YOU
FROM THE BOOK 'THAT I MAY KNOW
00:05:57.60\00:06:00.36
HIM' - THIS IS PAGE 208, "THE
OLD TESTAMENT IS AS VERILY THE
00:06:00.36\00:06:06.76
GOSPEL IN TYPES AND SHADOWS
AS THE NEW TESTAMENT IS IN THE
00:06:06.76\00:06:12.00
UNFOLDING POWER. THE
NEW TESTAMENT DOES NOT
00:06:12.00\00:06:15.10
PRESENT A NEW RELIGION.
THE OLD TESTAMENT DOES NOT
00:06:15.10\00:06:18.10
PRESENT A RELIGION TO
BE SUPERCEDED BY THE NEW.
00:06:18.10\00:06:21.26
THE NEW TESTAMENT IS ONLY THE
ADVANCEMENT AND UNFOLDING OF THE
00:06:21.26\00:06:24.20
OLD. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD
00:06:24.20\00:06:26.73
PEOPLE SAY BEFORE, 'WELL
I'M A NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN'?
00:06:26.73\00:06:29.03
AS OPPOSED TO AN
OLD TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN.
00:06:29.03\00:06:31.00
YOU CAN BE AN OLD TESTAMENT
CHRISTIAN AND IT'S THE EXACT
00:06:31.00\00:06:33.53
SAME THING AS A NEW
TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN.
00:06:33.53\00:06:35.33
IT'S A MYTH THAT
THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
00:06:35.33\00:06:37.60
IT'S A MYTH THAT THERE'S ONE
WAY GOD SAVES PEOPLE IN THE OLD
00:06:37.60\00:06:40.23
TESTAMENT AND ANOTHER WAY HE
SAVES THEM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:06:40.23\00:06:43.13
EVERYBODY IS SAVED BY
GRACE AND FAITH, AMEN?
00:06:43.13\00:06:46.56
YES, THEY SAY THEY WERE SAVED IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT - THOSE LAMBS
00:06:46.56\00:06:50.73
AND GOATS THAT THEY SACRIFICED
WERE TYPES AND SHADOWS POINTING
00:06:50.73\00:06:53.73
FORWARD TO JESUS BY FAITH.
THEY WERE ALL SAVED BY FAITH
00:06:53.73\00:06:57.56
LOOKING FORWARD. WE'RE
ALL SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
00:06:57.56\00:06:59.36
BACK AT THE CROSS.
EVERYBODY'S SAVED BY THE CROSS.
00:06:59.36\00:07:02.96
IT'S THE SAME. NOW,
I'M GOING TO JUMP ALONG TO
00:07:02.96\00:07:07.50
THE STORY OF ABRAHAM.
GOING TO CONSIDER ABRAHAM.
00:07:07.50\00:07:13.36
JESUS IS LIKE ABRAHAM -
AND LIKE ISAAC, I MIGHT ADD.
00:07:13.36\00:07:19.53
ABRAHAM CAME FROM A FAR COUNTRY
TO THE PROMISED LAND AND HE
00:07:19.53\00:07:22.83
BROUGHT HIS FAMILY.
JESUS LEFT HEAVEN AND CAME TO
00:07:22.83\00:07:27.50
THIS WORLD TO BRING HIS
FAMILY TO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:07:27.50\00:07:33.10
EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE SAVED
THROUGH THE BLESSED SEED OF
00:07:33.10\00:07:36.76
ABRAHAM, WHICH WAS ISAAC.
ISAAC'S NAME - WHO REMEMBERS
00:07:36.76\00:07:41.20
WHAT IT MEANS? LAUGHTER.
HOW MANY OF YOU LIKE TO SMILE
00:07:41.20\00:07:48.70
AND LAUGH. THAT'S HAPPY
NEWS. THE GOSPEL IS GOOD NEWS.
00:07:48.70\00:07:55.96
SO ISAAC, HERE, IS A TYPE OF
CHRIST THAT SHOULD BRING US JOY.
00:07:55.96\00:08:00.20
SO HE'S GIVEN THIS SON THAT IS
A MIRACLE BIRTH AND ONE DAY THE
00:08:00.20\00:08:04.96
LORD SPEAKS, THEN, TO ABRAHAM.
THIS PROMISED CHILD THROUGH WHOM
00:08:04.96\00:08:09.20
ALL THE WORLD'S GOING TO BE
SAVED - THROUGH ISAAC - WHAT IS
00:08:09.20\00:08:13.00
HE GOING TO DO WITH HIM?
BEFORE HE EVER GETS MARRIED
00:08:13.00\00:08:16.00
WE'RE GOING TO SACRIFICE
HIM. WELL, THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
00:08:16.00\00:08:19.80
SENSE. ALL THE
PROMISE OF SALVATION IS
00:08:19.80\00:08:22.00
SUPPOSED TO COME THROUGH
HIM. YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM?
00:08:22.00\00:08:25.93
AND JESUS, IN HIS PRIME,
IS OFFERED AS A SACRIFICE.
00:08:25.93\00:08:30.50
SO GOD TELLS ABRAHAM, 'I WANT
YOU TO MAKE THIS JOURNEY TO THE
00:08:30.50\00:08:33.66
PLACE OF
SACRIFICE. THEY GO THREE DAYS.
00:08:33.66\00:08:38.63
THEY LEAVE THE
DONKEY WITH THE SERVANTS.
00:08:38.63\00:08:42.40
THEY SAY, 'WE'LL
COME BACK TO YOU AGAIN.'
00:08:42.40\00:08:44.36
THEY GO ANOTHER
HALF A DAY UP A MOUNTAIN.
00:08:44.36\00:08:47.13
SO THE JOURNEY TO THE PLACE
OF SACRIFICE IS THREE AND A HALF
00:08:47.13\00:08:49.73
DAYS FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST'S
BAPTISM, WHEN HE BEGAN HIS
00:08:49.73\00:08:52.26
MINISTRY, TO THE PLACE OF
SACRIFICE IS THREE AND A HALF
00:08:52.26\00:08:55.66
YEARS. A DAY IN
PROPHECY IS A YEAR.
00:08:55.66\00:08:59.43
THE WOOD IS
LAID ON ISAAC'S BACK.
00:08:59.43\00:09:01.80
YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK
ABOUT THIS ANALOGY MANY TIMES.
00:09:01.80\00:09:04.90
THE CROSS IS
PLACED ON JESUS' BACK.
00:09:04.90\00:09:08.56
ON THE WAY UP THE HILL ISAAC
SAYS TO HIS FATHER - AND THIS IS
00:09:08.56\00:09:10.86
ONE OF THE IMMORTAL STATEMENTS
IN THE BIBLE, 'FATHER, YOU KNOW,
00:09:10.86\00:09:14.03
I'VE GOT THE FIRE' - THEY
PROBABLY TOOK SOME KIND OF
00:09:14.03\00:09:16.46
TINDER OR
SOMETHING TO MAKE A FIRE.
00:09:16.46\00:09:18.56
HE SAYS, 'WE'VE GOT THE WOOD' -
HE'D PROBABLY GONE TO THE PLACE
00:09:18.56\00:09:21.83
OF SACRIFICE MANY TIMES BEFORE
WITH HIS FATHER, BUT HE SAID,
00:09:21.83\00:09:25.56
'WE'RE MISSING
SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:09:25.56\00:09:28.16
WHERE IS THE LAMB?' AND
ALL OF HISTORY NOW FOCUSES
00:09:28.16\00:09:32.86
ON THE STATEMENT
OF ABRAHAM TO HIS SON.
00:09:32.86\00:09:35.73
HE SAYS, "MY SON, GOD WILL
PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF THE LAMB..."
00:09:35.73\00:09:40.80
NOW THE WAY THAT'S WORDED - EVEN
IN THE HEBREW - IT'S SAYING,
00:09:40.80\00:09:44.66
'GOD WILL
PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB.'
00:09:44.66\00:09:49.76
AND THIS IS
EXACTLY WHAT JESUS DID.
00:09:49.76\00:09:52.00
GOD THE SON
PROVIDED HIMSELF AS A LAMB.
00:09:52.00\00:09:54.40
THEN THEY GET TO THE TOP OF THE
MOUNTAIN - WAS JESUS A WILLING
00:09:54.40\00:09:57.50
SACRIFICE OR DID GOD THE
FATHER HAVE TO FORCE HIM?
00:09:57.50\00:10:00.80
HE SAID, 'NOT MY WILL
BUT THY WILL BE DONE.'
00:10:00.80\00:10:03.03
ISAAC, WHEN HE HEARS FROM
HIS FATHER WHAT THE PLAN IS, HE
00:10:03.03\00:10:06.23
SURRENDERS. HE
SAYS, 'FATHER, IF THIS IS
00:10:06.23\00:10:07.83
WHAT GOD HAS TOLD YOU TO DO.'
ABRAHAM WAS AN OLD MAN AT THIS
00:10:07.83\00:10:11.66
POINT. HE'S OVER
A HUNDRED YEARS OF
00:10:11.66\00:10:13.00
AGE. ISAAC WAS A YOUNG STRAPPING
00:10:13.00\00:10:15.03
YOUTH. HE
COULDN'T WRESTLE HIM TO THE
00:10:15.03\00:10:16.33
GROUND. HE COULD
HAVE SPRINTED OFF.
00:10:16.33\00:10:18.06
ABRAHAM
COULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT HIM.
00:10:18.06\00:10:19.76
BUT HE SUBMITTED TO
THE WILL OF HIS FATHER.
00:10:19.76\00:10:21.76
THEY HAD SUCH TREMENDOUS RESPECT
FOR THAT COMMAND THAT SAYS,
00:10:21.76\00:10:24.30
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER'
THAT EVEN IF THE FATHER SAID,
00:10:24.30\00:10:27.60
'HOLD OUT YOUR HAND, SON,
I'M GOING TO TIE YOU UP AND I'M
00:10:27.60\00:10:29.26
GOING TO SACRIFICE
YOU.' HE HELD OUT HIS HANDS.
00:10:29.26\00:10:32.86
HE WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
JESUS WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
00:10:32.86\00:10:38.20
HE WAS THE BELOVED SON - HE
SAID, 'TAKE YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY
00:10:38.20\00:10:41.83
SON, WHO YOU LOVE.' GOD
SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE
00:10:41.83\00:10:46.03
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
00:10:46.03\00:10:48.36
AND JUST AS HE'S ABOUT TO BRING
THE KNIFE DOWN THE ANGEL STOPS
00:10:48.36\00:10:52.33
HIM AND HE POINTS HIM TO A RAM -
A SUBSTITUTE - CAUGHT IN A THORN
00:10:52.33\00:10:57.40
BUSH - A THICKET MEANT A
THORN BUSH - BY THE HORNS.
00:10:57.40\00:11:02.36
WHAT THAT REALLY REPRESENTS
IS THERE YOU'VE GOT A RAM WITH A
00:11:02.36\00:11:05.20
CROWN OF THORNS -
ANOTHER TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:11:05.20\00:11:08.66
SO IN THIS STORY OF ABRAHAM, ALL
THROUGH MANY EXAMPLES, YOU CAN
00:11:08.66\00:11:13.30
SEE THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST.
JACOB - AND I COULD TALK AN
00:11:13.30\00:11:18.73
AWFUL LONG TIME ABOUT JACOB BUT
LET'S JUST MENTION A FEW THINGS
00:11:18.73\00:11:22.43
HERE. JACOB -
WELL, FOR ONE THING, HE
00:11:22.43\00:11:26.26
HAS TWELVE SONS THAT END UP
POPULATING THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
00:11:26.26\00:11:32.26
IN THE SAME WAY, JESUS HAS
THE TWELVE APOSTLES AND THROUGH
00:11:32.26\00:11:36.00
THEIR MINISTRY THE
CHURCH GROWS AND IS POPULATED.
00:11:36.00\00:11:40.96
JACOB WANTS THE
ETERNAL BIRTHRIGHT.
00:11:40.96\00:11:44.50
ISN'T IT AN INTERESTING
STORY THAT JACOB GOES BEFORE THE
00:11:44.50\00:11:49.76
FATHER AND HE OBTAINS THE
BIRTHRIGHT BY VIRTUE OF HE PUTS
00:11:49.76\00:11:54.23
THE SKIN OF THESE SACRIFICED
KIDS - GOATS - ON HIS HANDS AND
00:11:54.23\00:12:02.16
THE BACK OF HIS NECK - HE PUTS
ON HIS BROTHER'S CLOTHES AND HE,
00:12:02.16\00:12:05.83
BASICALLY, GETS CREDIT FOR BEING
THE FIRSTBORN BY VIRTUE OF THE
00:12:05.83\00:12:11.90
SKINS OF THE GOAT WHICH
REPRESENTS A SACRIFICE AND THE
00:12:11.90\00:12:14.90
CLOTHING OF THE ELDER BROTHER.
00:12:14.90\00:12:17.20
HE RECEIVES THE BLESSING OF THE
FATHER WHO IS BLIND - IN OTHER
00:12:17.20\00:12:21.10
WORDS, HE DOESN'T LOOK AT
HIM BUT HE LOOKS AT THE EVIDENCE
00:12:21.10\00:12:23.40
THAT HE FEELS AND HE SMELLS AND
HE SAYS, 'BECAUSE OF THAT I'M
00:12:23.40\00:12:28.16
GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
BLESSING OF MY FIRSTBORN.'
00:12:28.16\00:12:31.53
IN THE SAME WAY WHY DO WE
GET THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:12:31.53\00:12:36.26
THE FATHER BASICALLY WINKS -
HE'S BLIND TO OUR SINS BECAUSE
00:12:36.26\00:12:40.23
OF THE CLOTHES
THAT WE'RE WEARING.
00:12:40.23\00:12:42.23
HE SAYS, 'THE VOICE IS THE VOICE
OF JACOB'S, BUT THE SKIN IS THE
00:12:42.23\00:12:46.30
SKIN OF ESAU'S.'
AND SO HE BLESSED HIM.
00:12:46.30\00:12:50.03
YOU AND I COME BEFORE THE FATHER
AND WE GET TO WEAR JESUS' ROBE
00:12:50.03\00:12:52.50
AND WE GET TO WEAR JESUS' SKIN.
AND THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST.
00:12:52.50\00:12:58.23
AND SO WE GET THE BLESSING.
THERE'S BEAUTIFUL TYPES AND
00:12:58.23\00:13:03.06
STORIES IN THE LIFE OF
JACOB. JACOB HAS A DREAM.
00:13:03.06\00:13:10.96
HE RUNS FROM HOME BECAUSE HE'S
DECEIVED HIS BROTHER AND, OH, I
00:13:10.96\00:13:13.16
COULD TALK A LONG TIME
ABOUT JACOB. JACOB HAS A DREAM.
00:13:13.16\00:13:16.03
AND WHAT DOES HE SEE IN
HIS DREAM? HE LAYS DOWN.
00:13:16.03\00:13:20.03
HE'S GOT NOTHING BUT A ROCK
FOR A PILLOW, SOME OF YOU HAVE
00:13:20.03\00:13:23.36
PILLOWS LIKE THAT
AT HOME, PROBABLY, HUH?
00:13:23.36\00:13:28.33
AND HE SEES THIS LADDER
REACHING FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN.
00:13:28.33\00:13:32.03
WE ARE SEPARATED FROM HEAVEN BUT
NOW THERE'S A LADDER AND ON THIS
00:13:32.03\00:13:36.30
LADDER GOING UP AND DOWN
YOU'VE GOT ANGELS ASCENDING AND
00:13:36.30\00:13:38.96
DESCENDING - IT'S KIND OF
LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO THE MALL -
00:13:38.96\00:13:40.73
YOU SEE RIGHT THERE YOU'VE GOT
THE UP AND THE DOWN ESCALATORS
00:13:40.73\00:13:43.06
SIDE BY SIDE. THESE
ANGELS ARE GOING - EXCEPT
00:13:43.06\00:13:45.80
IT'S A LONG ESCALATOR - IT'S
REACHING UP TO THE GLORY OF GOD
00:13:45.80\00:13:48.66
- DISAPPEARS OFF INTO HEAVEN
SOMEWHERE. THE VEHICLE THROUGH
00:13:48.66\00:13:52.10
WHICH GOD MINISTERS
TO EARTH IS THIS LADDER.
00:13:52.10\00:13:56.16
WHAT DOES THAT LADDER MEAN?
YOU GET TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND
00:13:56.16\00:13:58.83
JESUS TELLS US WE ARE TO
INTERPRET THAT THROUGH HIM.
00:13:58.83\00:14:03.30
JOHN CHAPTER 1, VERSE 51,
CHRIST SAID TO HIM - SPEAKING TO
00:14:03.30\00:14:07.86
NATHANAEL - "MOST ASSUREDLY, I
SAY TO YOU, HEREAFTER YOU SHALL
00:14:07.86\00:14:12.70
SEE HEAVEN OPEN, AND THE ANGELS
OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING
00:14:12.70\00:14:17.33
UPON THE SON OF MAN." NOW
DID EVERY JEW KNOW THE STORY
00:14:17.33\00:14:20.90
OF JACOB? AND WHEN
JESUS SAID 'ASCENDING
00:14:20.90\00:14:24.50
AND DESCENDING ON THE SON OF
MAN' THAT MEANS CHRIST IS THAT
00:14:24.50\00:14:28.60
ESCALATOR -
CHRIST IS THE LADDER.
00:14:28.60\00:14:31.23
MATTER OF FACT, THE CROSS
IS THE LADDER - IT'S THE BRIDGE
00:14:31.23\00:14:34.63
CONNECTING HEAVEN AND EARTH AND
IT IS THROUGH CHRIST AND THROUGH
00:14:34.63\00:14:37.70
THE CROSS THAT WE
HAVE ACCESS TO HEAVEN.
00:14:37.70\00:14:40.60
IT'S THROUGH THE CROSS THAT
ANGELS COME AND GO ANSWERING OUR
00:14:40.60\00:14:43.16
PRAYERS BECAUSE WE
PRAY IN JESUS' NAME.
00:14:43.16\00:14:46.10
HE'S THE LADDER - THAT LADDER
THAT - JACOB THOUGHT THAT HE WAS
00:14:46.10\00:14:49.63
SEPARATED FROM GOD. HE
DECEIVED HIS BROTHER, HE WAS
00:14:49.63\00:14:51.76
RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME, HE
THINKS HE WAS ALL ALONE AND
00:14:51.76\00:14:54.23
THROUGH THAT DREAM GOD
SAYS, 'I HAVEN'T FORSAKEN YOU.
00:14:54.23\00:14:57.23
I'LL BE WITH YOU AND I'M GOING
TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE VISION.
00:14:57.23\00:14:59.76
WHAT EVERYBODY HAS
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE NOW.
00:14:59.76\00:15:02.90
YOU'VE GOT A LADDER TO HEAVEN
AND ANGELS ARE COMING AND GOING,
00:15:02.90\00:15:06.36
TAKING CARE OF YOU, WATCHING
OVER YOU, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING
00:15:06.36\00:15:08.43
TO SEE THIS AGAIN, BUT
DON'T EVER FORGET THAT LADDER IS
00:15:08.43\00:15:10.46
THERE.' AND YOU'VE GOT A LADDER.
00:15:10.46\00:15:13.46
WHEREVER YOU GO, IF YOU'VE
COMMITTED YOURSELF TO THE LORD
00:15:13.46\00:15:15.33
AND YOU'VE ASKED FOR
FORGIVENESS, HE SAYS HE WANTS TO
00:15:15.33\00:15:17.36
BLESS YOU. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT GOD SAID TO JACOB?
00:15:17.36\00:15:19.60
HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO BRING YOU
BACK INTO THE PROMISED LAND.'
00:15:19.60\00:15:22.20
AND HE SAYS - THE SAME NIGHT
HE HAD THAT DREAM, GOD MADE THAT
00:15:22.20\00:15:24.76
PROMISE TO HIM. AND HE
SAYS TO YOU AND I, 'I'M
00:15:24.76\00:15:30.13
GOING TO BRING YOU
TO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:15:30.13\00:15:32.56
DON'T FORGET.' AND
YOU PRAY IN CHRIST'S NAME
00:15:32.56\00:15:35.26
THAT WE'VE GOT A LADDER THAT
GOES FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH AND HE
00:15:35.26\00:15:38.13
ANSWERS YOUR
PRAYERS AND HE PROTECTS YOU.
00:15:38.13\00:15:40.13
THE VERY FACT THAT YOU'RE HERE
NOW IS THE FACT THAT GOD HAS
00:15:40.13\00:15:43.86
WATCHED OVER YOU
- OVER YOUR LIFE.
00:15:43.86\00:15:46.10
WHEN YOU READ THROUGH THE BOOK
OF GENESIS, YOU'LL READ ABOUT
00:15:46.10\00:15:49.53
ADAM AND YOU'LL READ ABOUT EVE
AND ENOCH AND YOU'LL READ ABOUT
00:15:49.53\00:15:52.26
JACOB AND ABRAHAM, BUT
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT AS YOU GET TO
00:15:52.26\00:15:56.20
GENESIS CHAPTER 37, THE REST OF
THE BOOK IS DEDICATED TO JOSEPH.
00:15:56.20\00:16:02.90
THERE'S MORE SAID THERE IN
THE BOOK OF GENESIS THAN IS SAID
00:16:02.90\00:16:06.10
ABOUT ABRAHAM OR JACOB
- MORE SAID ABOUT JOSEPH.
00:16:06.10\00:16:11.36
JOSEPH IS ONE OF THE PREMIER
POWERFUL TYPES OF CHRIST ALL
00:16:11.36\00:16:16.33
THROUGH THE BIBLE. NOW,
LOOKING AT THE LIFE AND THE
00:16:16.33\00:16:18.86
STORY OF JOSEPH - COMPARING IT
TO WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LIFE
00:16:18.86\00:16:21.90
AND THE EXPERIENCE OF
JESUS, CONSIDER FOR A MINUTE THE
00:16:21.90\00:16:27.00
HUNDREDS OF SIMILARITIES THAT
OUGHT TO - OUGHT TO SET US BACK
00:16:27.00\00:16:31.50
WITH AWE AT HOW GOD IS
IN CONTROL OF HISTORY. FOR
00:16:31.50\00:16:38.33
INSTANCE, JESUS AND JOSEPH - #1
- WERE BOTH THE FIRST BORN SONS
00:16:38.33\00:16:44.80
- JOSEPH FIRSTBORN OF RACHEL
- JESUS, FIRSTBORN OF MARY.
00:16:44.80\00:16:48.80
THEY WERE BORN THROUGH MIRACLES.
JOSEPH WAS SECOND ONLY TO THE
00:16:48.80\00:16:55.26
KING OF EGYPT. JESUS
IS SECOND ONLY TO THE KING
00:16:55.26\00:16:58.63
OF THE UNIVERSE, GOD THE FATHER.
JOSEPH'S FATHER LOVED HIM MORE
00:16:58.63\00:17:04.90
THAN HIS BROTHERS.
JESUS IS CALLED 'THE BELOVED
00:17:04.90\00:17:07.16
SON' - THE PREFERRED ONE.
AND, AGAIN, JOSEPH'S FATHER WAS
00:17:07.16\00:17:10.43
AN ANCIENT OF
DAYS WHEN HE WAS BORN.
00:17:10.43\00:17:13.33
BOTH JOSEPH AND JESUS ARE
DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE TO BE
00:17:13.33\00:17:16.66
VERY PIOUS MEN WHO RECEIVE
REVELATIONS FROM GOD OF FUTURE
00:17:16.66\00:17:20.33
GLORY. THE BIBLE
RECORDS NO SIN IN THE
00:17:20.33\00:17:23.90
LIFE OF JOSEPH. IT
RECORDS NO SIN IN THE LIFE OF
00:17:23.90\00:17:26.86
JESUS. POINT 4
- BECAUSE OF ENVY,
00:17:26.86\00:17:31.56
JOSEPH'S BROTHERS
CONSPIRED TO KILL HIM.
00:17:31.56\00:17:34.50
IT SAYS, 'AND BEFORE HE REACHED
THEM THEY PLOTTED TO KILL HIM.'
00:17:34.50\00:17:38.66
THEY SAID, 'HERE COMES THAT
DREAMER. COME NOW LET US KILL
00:17:38.66\00:17:41.50
HIM AND THROW HIM IN ONE
OF THESE WELLS - THESE PITS -
00:17:41.50\00:17:44.80
AND SAY A FEROCIOUS
ANIMAL HAS DELIVERED HIM.
00:17:44.80\00:17:47.73
THEY SAID THE
SAME THING ABOUT JESUS.
00:17:47.73\00:17:49.76
THEY CONSPIRED AND
PLOTTED TO KILL HIM.
00:17:49.76\00:17:52.16
YOU CAN READ HERE, IN THE SAME
WAY THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WANTED
00:17:52.16\00:17:55.00
TO GET RID OF JESUS - 'THE CHIEF
PRIESTS AND THE ELDERS OF THE
00:17:55.00\00:17:57.46
PEOPLE ASSEMBLED IN THE
PALACE OF THE HIGH PRIEST BEFORE
00:17:57.46\00:18:01.23
CAIAPHAS AND THEY PLOTTED TO
ARREST JESUS AND TO SLAY - OR
00:18:01.23\00:18:05.56
KILL - HIM IN SOME WAY.'
SAME WORDING IS USED THERE IN
00:18:05.56\00:18:08.80
THE NEW TESTAMENT ABOUT JESUS AS
YOU FIND IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:18:08.80\00:18:14.03
JOSEPH WAS SOLD TO THE
EGYPTIANS UNDER THE INFLUENCE
00:18:14.03\00:18:16.43
OF JUDAH, HIS BROTHER.
00:18:16.43\00:18:18.70
JESUS IS SOLD TO THE ROMANS
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF JUDAS -
00:18:18.70\00:18:24.16
BOTH HANDED OVER TO THE
GENTILES BECAUSE OF THOSE NAMES.
00:18:24.16\00:18:27.53
#8 - JOSEPH ASKS THE IMPRISONED
CUPBEARER NOT TO FORGET HIM WHEN
00:18:27.53\00:18:33.16
HE'S RELEASED AND - WHEN
HE'S REINSTATED AT COURT.
00:18:33.16\00:18:36.66
HE SAYS, 'BE SURE TO REMEMBER ME
WHEN THINGS GO WELL WITH YOU.'
00:18:36.66\00:18:41.23
IT'S ALSO INTERESTING AS CHRIST
HAD THE LAST SUPPER WITH HIS
00:18:41.23\00:18:44.03
DISCIPLES HE SAID, 'DO
THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.'
00:18:44.03\00:18:47.46
EVEN HANGING ON THE CROSS -
WELL, THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A
00:18:47.46\00:18:50.20
SECOND - CHRIST IS BETWEEN TWO
CONDEMNED MEN. ONE SAYS, 'LORD,
00:18:50.20\00:18:55.96
REMEMBER ME.' HE GETS ETERNAL
LIFE, THE OTHER DOES NOT.
00:18:55.96\00:19:00.86
ONE IS SAVED. ONE IS LOST.
JOSEPH IS IN JAIL BETWEEN TWO
00:19:00.86\00:19:04.93
CONDEMNED MEN AND HE INTERPRETS
THEIR DREAMS FOR THEM.
00:19:04.93\00:19:08.83
ONE IS REINSTATED - HE'S SAVED -
THE OTHER IS EXECUTED - HE DIES.
00:19:08.83\00:19:15.10
AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT
THE THIEF THAT WAS SAVED SAYS,
00:19:15.10\00:19:19.26
'LORD, REMEMBER ME.'
BOTH JOSEPH AND JESUS ARE
00:19:19.26\00:19:22.83
PERSECUTED BECAUSE
OF FALSE WITNESSES.
00:19:22.83\00:19:26.66
THE WIFE OF POTIPHAR BEARS FALSE
WITNESS BEFORE JOSEPH AND BEFORE
00:19:26.66\00:19:30.53
MEMBERS OF HER HOUSEHOLD
AND BEFORE HER HUSBAND.
00:19:30.53\00:19:34.60
THE WITNESSES FALSELY ACCUSE
JESUS BEFORE THE SANDHEDRIN AND
00:19:34.60\00:19:38.86
BEFORE PILATE. JOSEPH
WENT TO PRISON BECAUSE OF
00:19:38.86\00:19:42.03
THE FALSE WITNESSES.
JESUS WENT TO THE GRAVE BECAUSE
00:19:42.03\00:19:45.56
OF THE FALSE WITNESSES.
THE WORDS 'PRISON' AND 'THE
00:19:45.56\00:19:48.26
GRAVE' ARE OFTEN INTERCHANGEABLE
IN THE BIBLE, DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:19:48.26\00:19:52.60
BOTH JOSEPH AND JESUS WERE
MEN WHO WERE REJECTED BY THEIR
00:19:52.60\00:19:56.23
BRETHREN BECAUSE THEY
WANTED THEIR INHERITANCE.
00:19:56.23\00:20:00.06
BUT GOD RAISED THEM UP TO
BE JUDGE OF THEIR BROTHERS.
00:20:00.06\00:20:04.33
THEY WANTED - YOU
KNOW WHY JACOB GAVE JOSEPH
00:20:04.33\00:20:06.83
THE COAT OF MANY COLORS?
HE BASICALLY SAID, 'REUBEN,
00:20:06.83\00:20:10.83
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE THE FIRSTBORN.
00:20:10.83\00:20:12.33
YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE
INHERITANCE OF THE FIRSTBORN.
00:20:12.33\00:20:14.00
IF YOU KNOW YOUR BIBLES
YOU KNOW REUBEN SLEPT WITH HIS
00:20:14.00\00:20:15.96
STEP-MOTHER. JACOB
SAID, 'YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED.'
00:20:15.96\00:20:18.73
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE GIVES
JOSEPH THIS ROBE OF MANY COLORS
00:20:18.73\00:20:22.16
- IT'S A SIGN OF ROYALTY AND
ALL THE BROTHERS REALIZE, 'OH,
00:20:22.16\00:20:24.73
RACHEL'S THE WIFE HE WANTED.
JOSEPH'S THE FIRSTBORN OF
00:20:24.73\00:20:27.73
RACHEL. HE'S GOING TO GIVE
THE INHERITANCE TO THIS YOUNG
00:20:27.73\00:20:30.00
WHIPPERSNAPPER. AND
THEY WERE JEALOUS OF THE
00:20:30.00\00:20:33.06
INHERITANCE THAT JACOB
WAS GOING TO GIVE JOSEPH.
00:20:33.06\00:20:36.53
BOTH JOSEPH AND JESUS WERE HATED
BECAUSE OF THEIR GREATNESS.
00:20:36.53\00:20:41.03
THEY RESENTED JOSEPH'S DREAMS.
00:20:41.03\00:20:43.26
THE ENEMIES OF CHRIST RESENTED
HIM BECAUSE OF HIS DREAMS AND
00:20:43.26\00:20:47.80
THEY SAID, 'BEHOLD, HERE COMES
THIS DREAMER, LET'S KILL HIM.
00:20:47.80\00:20:50.73
CHRIST WAS ALSO A PROPHET AND
HIS PEOPLE WANTED TO KILL HIM.
00:20:50.73\00:20:56.60
BUT, ULTIMATELY, JOSEPH AND
JESUS OBTAINED GREAT AUTHORITY
00:20:56.60\00:21:00.60
AND INSPIRED
CONFIDENCE IN THOSE AROUND THEM.
00:21:00.60\00:21:03.23
THEY SAID,
WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU, DO.
00:21:03.23\00:21:05.93
WHAT DID POTIPHAR SAY
TO THOSE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD?
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.66
'I'M GIVING EVERYTHING
INTO THE HANDS OF JOSEPH.
00:21:09.66\00:21:11.60
DO WHATEVER HE SAYS.
DO WHATEVER JOSEPH SAYS.'
00:21:11.60\00:21:13.80
WHAT DID MARY SAY REGARDING
JESUS AT THE WEDDING FEAST?
00:21:13.80\00:21:16.80
'WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU.
YOU DO WHATEVER HE SAYS.'
00:21:16.80\00:21:19.80
SO IN SPITE OF RESISTANCE
FROM SOME, OTHERS SAW THEY WERE
00:21:19.80\00:21:23.03
BLESSED AND HAD
GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THEM.
00:21:23.03\00:21:26.03
WHEN MARY ANNOUNCED JESUS'
RESURRECTION TO THE DISCIPLES,
00:21:26.03\00:21:28.93
THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS TOO GOOD TO
00:21:28.93\00:21:31.43
BE TRUE. THEY WANTED PROOF.
00:21:31.43\00:21:34.16
WHEN THE BROTHERS COME BACK FROM
EGYPT AND THEY TELL JACOB, 'YOUR
00:21:34.16\00:21:36.53
SON IS STILL ALIVE' - AFTER
22 OR 3 YEARS, WE'RE NOT EXACTLY
00:21:36.53\00:21:40.93
SURE - MAYBE CLOSER TO 21
YEARS HE HAD NOT SEEN HIS SON.
00:21:40.93\00:21:47.70
IT SAYS, 'JACOB SAID,
'I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.''
00:21:47.70\00:21:49.26
HIS HEART STOPPED.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
00:21:49.26\00:21:51.70
AND THEN AS THE EVIDENCE
CAME HE SAID, 'I DO BELIEVE IT.'
00:21:51.70\00:21:54.16
THEN HE SAID, 'LET ME DIE IN
PEACE BECAUSE MY SON IS ALIVE.'
00:21:54.16\00:21:58.16
AND WHEN SIMEON SAW JESUS AS
A BABY HE SAID, 'NOW LET ME DIE
00:21:58.16\00:22:02.16
BECAUSE I'VE
SEEN YOUR SALVATION.'
00:22:02.16\00:22:05.23
ANOTHER ANCIENT OF DAYS THERE.
BY THE WAY, CHRIST WAS SEPARATED
00:22:05.23\00:22:11.83
FROM THE FATHER THE TIME
THAT HE WAS DOWN HERE ON EARTH.
00:22:11.83\00:22:15.70
JOSEPH WAS
SEPARATED FROM THE FATHER.
00:22:15.70\00:22:17.80
THERE WAS A GREAT REUNION
IN HEAVEN WHEN JESUS AROSE.
00:22:17.80\00:22:21.66
THERE WAS A GREAT REUNION WHEN
JOSEPH AND JACOB GET TOGETHER.
00:22:21.66\00:22:25.23
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT WHENEVER I READ THROUGH THE
00:22:25.23\00:22:26.96
BIBLE, EVERY TIME I GET THROUGH
THE STORY OF JOSEPH AND I READ
00:22:26.96\00:22:29.93
WHERE JOSEPH AND JACOB ARE
REUNITED AND THEY FINALLY -
00:22:29.93\00:22:32.53
YOU CAN SEE JOSEPH STEPPING OUT
OF HIS GOLDEN CHARIOT AND YOU
00:22:32.53\00:22:36.90
SEE JACOB KIND OF FALLING
OFF HIS OLD MULE AND THEY RUN TO
00:22:36.90\00:22:42.06
EACH OTHER - THE OLD PATRIARCH
HOBBLING WITH HIS CANE BECAUSE
00:22:42.06\00:22:45.76
HE'S GOT THIS HIP PROBLEM FROM
WRESTLING WITH AN ANGEL - AND
00:22:45.76\00:22:49.43
JOSEPH IN HIS PRIME RUNNING AND
HUGGING EACH OTHER AND A LONG
00:22:49.43\00:22:55.10
TIME SOBBING ON ONE ANOTHER.
THAT STILL MOVES ME WHENEVER I
00:22:55.10\00:22:58.50
READ THAT STORY IN THE
BIBLE. DOES IT MOVE YOU?
00:22:58.50\00:23:02.83
AND HE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD
AND HE FOUND OUT HE WAS ALIVE.
00:23:02.83\00:23:07.40
HOW DO YOU THINK THE FATHER FELT
WHEN JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS?
00:23:07.40\00:23:10.26
AND HOW DO YOU THINK HEAVEN
REJOICED WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED?
00:23:10.26\00:23:13.60
THAT'S WHY HE SAID,
'MARY, DON'T CLING TO ME.
00:23:13.60\00:23:14.96
I'VE NOT YET
ASCENDED TO MY FATHER.
00:23:14.96\00:23:16.56
I'VE GOT TO GO SEE
MY FATHER. HE MISSES ME.
00:23:16.56\00:23:18.66
I'VE BEEN HERE ON THIS
EARTH 33 AND A HALF YEARS.'
00:23:18.66\00:23:21.86
FOR DECADES THEY WERE
SEPARATED - JESUS AND JOSEPH
00:23:21.86\00:23:25.43
- FROM THEIR FATHERS.
AND THERE WAS A GREAT REUNION
00:23:25.43\00:23:28.23
YOU CAN BE SURE.
YOU'VE GOT THAT SEVEN YEARS OF
00:23:28.23\00:23:31.90
PLENTY DURING THE TIME OF THE
FAMINE - BUT THERE WERE SEVEN
00:23:31.90\00:23:37.40
YEARS OF PLENTY. THERE
WERE SEVEN YEARS WHEN THE
00:23:37.40\00:23:40.03
WORD OF GOD IS POURED OUT IN
PLENTY FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE -
00:23:40.03\00:23:43.33
FROM THE BEGINNING OF CHRIST'S
MINISTRY 'TIL PROBATION WAS
00:23:43.33\00:23:47.36
CLOSED FOR THE JEWISH NATION
WITH THE STONING OF STEPHEN.
00:23:47.36\00:23:50.66
AND WHAT SHALL I MORE SAY?
TIME WOULD FAIL ME, AS THE BIBLE
00:23:50.66\00:23:54.93
SAYS, TO GO ON AND
TELL YOU ALL THESE EXAMPLES.
00:23:54.93\00:23:57.73
NOW I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE WITH
THIS VERSE: HEBREWS CHAPTER 12,
00:23:57.73\00:24:00.60
VERSES 1 AND 2 - I'VE JUST
LOOKED AT A COUPLE EXAMPLES OF
00:24:00.60\00:24:04.90
HOW YOU SEE JESUS THROUGH
THE BIBLE - AND IT SAYS HERE,
00:24:04.90\00:24:09.40
"THEREFORE, - HEBREWS 12, VERSE
1, "...SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED
00:24:09.40\00:24:13.40
BY SO GREAT A
CLOUD OF WITNESSES,..."
00:24:13.40\00:24:17.30
ALL THROUGH THESE STORIES IN
THE BIBLE WE CAN SEE A CLOUD OF
00:24:17.30\00:24:20.63
WITNESSES. "LET US
LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT"
00:24:20.63\00:24:24.16
- WHAT IS GOD TELLING US TO DO
WHEN WE SEE ALL THIS EVIDENCE IN
00:24:24.16\00:24:26.33
THE BIBLE OF JESUS? THAT
GOD CAN SEE ALL OF HISTORY?
00:24:26.33\00:24:30.66
BY THE WAY, HISTORY, WHEN YOU
READ THE BIBLE, IS HIS-STORY.
00:24:30.66\00:24:35.66
IT'S ALL ABOUT
JESUS BEING EVERYWHERE.
00:24:35.66\00:24:38.56
"LET US LAY ASIDE" - HERE'S HOW
WE RESPOND - "EVERY WEIGHT, AND
00:24:38.56\00:24:42.53
THE SIN WHICH SO EASILY
ENSNARES US, AND LET US RUN WITH
00:24:42.53\00:24:46.13
ENDURANCE THE RACE THAT IS SET
BEFORE US, LOOKING UNTO JESUS,
00:24:46.13\00:24:50.80
THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR
FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS
00:24:50.80\00:24:54.90
SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE
CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, AND
00:24:54.90\00:24:58.50
HAS SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD."
00:24:58.50\00:25:02.93
YOU AND I FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS.
AS YOU READ THROUGH THE BIBLE
00:25:02.93\00:25:05.80
YOU THINK YOU'RE REALLY READING
ABOUT JOSEPH OR ARE YOU READING
00:25:05.80\00:25:08.86
ABOUT JESUS? YOU'RE
NOT READING ABOUT NOAH.
00:25:08.86\00:25:11.30
YOU'RE NOT READING ABOUT
ABRAHAM OR ENOCH OR MELCHIZEDEK.
00:25:11.30\00:25:15.20
YOU'RE READING ABOUT JESUS
IN THESE HEROES OF THE BIBLE.
00:25:15.20\00:25:18.33
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU
ARE CHANGED BY BEHOLDING.
00:25:18.33\00:25:21.00
I HOPE YOU ARE READING YOUR
BIBLES BECAUSE THE MORE YOU READ
00:25:21.00\00:25:24.43
THIS BOOK - EVERYWHERE - SOME
PEOPLE SAY, 'I'M JUST GOING TO
00:25:24.43\00:25:26.53
READ THE NEW TESTAMENT BECAUSE I
JUST WANT TO READ ABOUT JESUS.'
00:25:26.53\00:25:28.66
WELL, I TELL YOU, FRIENDS, WHEN
I READ THE OLD TESTAMENT, I'M
00:25:28.66\00:25:30.53
READING ABOUT JESUS TOO.
AND YOU BECOME TRANSFORMED INTO
00:25:30.53\00:25:34.30
WHAT YOU LOOK AT. SO I
THINK WE NEED TO HEAR MORE
00:25:34.30\00:25:37.83
ABOUT JESUS, DON'T YOU?
THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT HIM.
