00:00 >> THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF
00:03 THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 00:12 >> ALL THE BIBLE IS ABOUT JESUS. 00:14 HOW COULD GOD HAVE SUCH COMPLETE CONTROL OF HISTORY SO THAT 00:17 THE LIVES OF THESE GREAT BIBLE CHARACTERS THAT REALLY DID LIVE 00:21 COULD BE REPLICATED IN THE LIFE OF JESUS? 00:29 >> FOR OVER 40 YEARS, AMAZING FACTS HAS BEEN 00:31 DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 00:35 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION 00:38 BROADCASTS. 00:39 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF 00:42 "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS." 00:50 >> IN OUR SERIES ON JESUS THROUGH THE BIBLE, WE'RE DOING A 00:54 FLYOVER, AND WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HIGH POINTS 00:58 'CAUSE I WANT YOU TO REALIZE HOW MUCH OF JESUS IS REALLY IN THE 01:03 BIBLE AND WHAT A SACRED DOCUMENT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS WITH 01:09 THE BIBLE. 01:10 IT IS A SUPERNATURAL BOOK THAT PROVES THE REALITY OF GOD AND 01:16 ONE WAY WE KNOW THAT IS BECAUSE CHRIST WAS THE FULFILLMENT OF 01:20 ALL OF THESE HISTORICAL CHARACTERS. 01:24 AND THIS SERIES ON JESUS THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURE, WHEN 01:28 WE LOOK AT THESE CHARACTERS IN THE BIBLE, IT HELPS US TO 01:31 RECOGNIZE, "WOW, HOW DID GOD KNOW? 01:35 HOW COULD GOD HAVE SUCH COMPLETE CONTROL OF HISTORY SO THAT 01:38 THE LIVES OF THESE GREAT BIBLE CHARACTERS THAT REALLY DID LIVE 01:42 COULD BE REPLICATED IN THE LIFE OF JESUS?" 01:46 NOW, THIS IS DOUBLY IMPORTANT TODAY BECAUSE OF ALL THE 01:52 CHARACTERS MENTIONED IN THE HOLY WRITINGS, YOU FIND THIS NAME 01:58 MENTIONED MORE THAN ANY NAME. 02:01 DAVID IS MENTIONED MORE THAN OUR LORD JESUS. 02:05 DAVID IS MENTIONED MORE THAN MOSES, MORE THAN ELIJAH, 02:10 MORE THAN JOSEPH. 02:11 THERE'S MORE THAN ONE JOHN IN THE BIBLE. 02:15 THERE'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN ONE MOSES. 02:17 THERE'S MORE THAN ONE JESUS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE. 02:22 BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE INDIVIDUAL IN THE WHOLE BIBLE CALLED BY 02:25 THE NAME DAVID. 02:27 DAVID IS FOUND 1,066 TIMES IN THE BIBLE. 02:32 THERE'S MORE SAID ABOUT HIM THAN ANY OTHER BIBLE CHARACTER. 02:35 IN MANY WAYS, THIS BOOK COULD BE THE STORY OF DAVID. 02:38 JESUS IS THE SON OF DAVID. 02:40 DID YOU KNOW THAT THE LAST CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT 02:43 DAVID? 02:45 YOU CAN READ THERE IN REVELATION WHERE CHRIST IS THE ROOT 02:48 AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID IN REVELATION CHAPTER 22. 02:53 SO LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE PARALLELS THAT WE'RE GOING TO 02:56 FIND IN THE BIBLE ABOUT DAVID. 02:59 DAVID MEANS BELOVED. 03:04 JESUS IS THE BELOVED SON OF THE FATHER, CALLED SOMETIMES 03:09 THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. 03:12 YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, "THIS IS MY BELOVED 03:14 SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED." 03:18 THEY WERE BOTH ANOINTED, BOTH DAVID AND JESUS WERE ANOINTED. 03:24 THE WORD "CHRIST," CHRISTOS, MEANS ANOINTED IN GREEK. 03:29 MESSIAH MEANS ANOINTED IN HEBREW. 03:32 DAVID WAS ANOINTED, THAT'S WHEN HE FIRST APPEARS HE'S 03:35 ANOINTED BY SAMUEL. 03:38 AND HE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF THE BRETHREN THAT WERE ANOINTED. 03:43 SAMUEL WAS HESITANT AT FIRST. 03:46 YOU REMEMBER JOHN THE BAPTIST, WHEN HE BAPTIZED JESUS HE SAID, 03:48 "NO, YOU NEED TO BAPTIZE ME." 03:51 BUT HE SAID, "LET IT BE SO FOR NOW." 03:55 1 SAMUEL 16:13, "SAMUEL TOOK THE HORN OF OIL AND ANOINTED HIM IN 03:59 THE MIDST OF HIS BROTHERS; AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON 04:03 DAVID FROM THAT DAY FORWARD." 04:05 DAVID BEGINS HIS MINISTRY AFTER HIS ANOINTING. 04:08 WHEN DOES CHRIST BEGIN HIS MINISTRY? 04:11 AT HIS BAPTISM, THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES DOWN UPON HIM AND THEN HE 04:14 BEGINS TO TEACH AND TO PREACH. 04:17 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S THAT GREAT STORY OF DAVID, AND I 04:20 WISH I COULD SPEND MORE TIME ON THIS, WHERE DAVID SEES GOLIATH 04:24 DOWN THERE WHO FOR 40 DAYS COMES OUT IN THE WILDERNESS AND DEFIES 04:29 THE ARMIES OF GOD. 04:31 AFTER THE ANOINTING OF JESUS, DOES HE GO OUT INTO THE 04:35 WILDERNESS FOR 40 DAYS? 04:38 DOES HE HAVE A BATTLE WITH THE DEVIL, BIGGEST GIANT OF ALL, THE 04:42 GIANT OF EVIL? 04:45 AND WHAT IS IT THAT JESUS USES TO BRING DOWN THE GIANT? 04:49 A STONE. 04:52 THE WORD OF GOD IS THE ROCK. 04:54 THAT'S THE ROCK THAT BRINGS DOWN THAT IMAGE IN DANIEL CHAPTER 2. 04:59 CHRIST IS THE WORD, ARE WE RIGHT? 05:01 ARE WE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE? 05:03 THE WORD IS A ROCK. 05:05 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE WRITTEN ON STONE. 05:09 AND THAT'S WHAT'S USED TO BRING DOWN THE GIANT. 05:12 AND SO HE HAS THIS BATTLE WITH THE GIANT. 05:16 JESUS MEETS EVERY TEMPTATION AND HE SAYS, "AWAY WITH YOU, SATAN. 05:20 FOR IT IS WRITTEN YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD GOD AND HIM 05:23 ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE." 05:25 1 SAMUEL 17:50, "SO DAVID PREVAILED OVER THE PHILISTINE 05:31 WITH A SLING AND A STONE, AND STRUCK THE PHILISTINE 05:35 AND KILLED HIM. 05:36 BUT THERE WAS NO SWORD IN THE HAND OF DAVID. 05:38 THEREFORE DAVID RAN AND STOOD OVER THE PHILISTINE, AND TOOK 05:42 HIS SWORD AND DREW IT OUT OF ITS SHEATH AND KILLED HIM, AND CUT 05:46 OFF HIS HEAD." 05:47 SO HE WAS INITIALLY KNOCKED OUT WITH A ROCK. 05:49 HE'S UNCONSCIOUS, BUT HE DISPATCHES HIM PERMANENTLY WITH 05:53 HIS OWN SWORD. 05:54 WHAT IS THE SWORD BIBLICALLY? 05:58 THE WORD OF GOD, HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, 06:01 EPHESIANS CHAPTER 6 IS QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN 06:04 ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. 06:07 SO STONE IS THE WORD OF GOD, A SWORD IS THE WORD OF GOD. 06:10 DAVID DEFEATS THE GIANT WITH THE WORD OF GOD. 06:12 HOW DO WE DEFEAT THE GIANT, THE DEVIL? 06:15 "A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD," YOU'VE SUNG THAT SONG. 06:18 ONE LITTLE WORD WILL FELL HIM. 06:21 THE WORD OF GOD BRINGS HIM DOWN. 06:23 ISN'T IT INTERESTING, HE TAKES GOLIATH'S OWN SWORD TO 06:27 DESTROY HIM? 06:30 THE CROSS THAT THE DEVIL USED TO KILL JESUS IS THE WEAPON THAT 06:34 DESTROYS THE DEVIL. 06:37 HOW DO YOU AND I ENJOY THE VICTORY OF CHRIST OVER 06:39 THE DEVIL? 06:41 WHEN WE SEE, JUST LIKE THE ISRAELITES SAW, THAT JESUS DID 06:45 WIN, HE DEFEATED THE DEVIL, CHRIST ROSE. 06:49 HE SAID, "IT IS FINISHED." 06:50 HE SAID, "ALL HAIL." 06:52 HE'S WON. 06:54 THE DEVIL'S DOOM IS SEALED. 06:56 BUT EVEN THOUGH GOLIATH WAS DEAD, WERE THE SOLDIERS, THE 06:59 PHILISTINES, STILL ON THE HILL? 07:01 WE CLAIM THAT VICTORY AND THEN WE NEED TO TAKE UP THE BATTLE 07:04 WITH DAVID. 07:06 DAVID THEN LED THEM AGAINST THE PHILISTINES. 07:09 AND SO WE JOIN HIM IN THAT BATTLE. 07:12 SO THIS IS A WONDERFUL ANALOGY WHERE CHRIST IS A TYPE OF DAVID 07:14 OR DAVID IS A TYPE OF CHRIST. 07:16 AND YOU SAY, "THE VICTORY OF DAVID BECAME THE VICTORY OF 07:19 THE ISRAELITES. 07:20 THE VICTORY OF CHRIST BECOMES OUR VICTORY." 07:23 AND WE CAN SAY, "PRAISE THE LORD. 07:25 WE WON." 07:27 AND THEN YOU FOLLOW YOUR CAPTAIN INTO BATTLE. 07:30 YOU DON'T JUST STAND THERE. 07:31 WHEN JESUS OVERCAME, WE BECOME OVERCOMERS. 07:36 DAVID STRIPPED THE ENEMY OF HIS ARMOR. 07:40 1 SAMUEL 17, VERSE 54, "DAVID TOOK THE HEAD OF THE PHILISTINE 07:45 AND BROUGHT IT TO JERUSALEM, BUT HE PUT HIS ARMOR IN HIS TENT." 07:49 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT JESUS STRIPPED THE ARMOR FROM 07:53 THE DEVIL. 07:54 LUKE 11, VERSE 20, "BUT IF I CAST OUT DEMONS WITH THE FINGER 07:59 OF GOD, SURELY THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME UPON YOU. 08:02 WHEN A STRONG MAN, FULLY ARMED, GUARDS HIS OWN PALACE AND HIS 08:07 GOODS, THEY'RE AT PEACE. 08:09 BUT WHEN A STRONGER THAN HE COMES UPON HIM AND OVERCOMES 08:13 HIM, HE TAKES FROM HIM ALL HIS ARMOR IN WHICH HE TRUSTED, 08:17 AND DIVIDES HIS SPOILS." 08:19 THIS IS WHAT DAVID DID WITH GOLIATH. 08:21 THIS IS WHAT JESUS DID WITH THE DEVIL. 08:23 YOU AND I, WE'RE CAPTIVES OF THE DEVIL. 08:25 HE LIBERATES US. 08:26 HE TAKES AWAY THE DEVIL'S ARMOR. 08:28 BEFORE CHRIST CAME, MAN HAS NO POWER TO RESIST THE DEVIL. 08:33 BUT THERE'S A CRACK IN THE DEVIL'S ARMOR BECAUSE OF CHRIST. 08:38 YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE ARROW FOUND THE CRACK IN AHAB'S ARMOR? 08:42 IT WAS THE PROPHECY OF MICAIAH, THE WORD OF GOD. 08:47 THAT'S WHAT FOUND THE CRACK IN THE ARMOR. 08:49 JESUS TAKES AWAY THE DEVIL'S ARMOR. 08:51 HE IS DEFENSELESS. 08:52 YOU AND I CAN HAVE A VICTORY OVER HIM. 08:55 1 KINGS 14:8. 08:57 DID DAVID SIN? 09:01 DID DAVID--I MEAN YOU KNOW IT TELLS ABOUT DAVID AND BATHSHEBA, 09:04 TELLS ABOUT DAVID BRINGING THE ARK UP INAPPROPRIATELY AND 09:07 SOMEONE DIED BECAUSE OF THAT. 09:08 IT TELLS ABOUT DAVID NUMBERING ISRAEL. 09:10 DAVID MADE MISTAKES, PROBABLY SEVERAL. 09:13 HE LIED AND PRETENDED HE WAS CRAZY. 09:14 HE'S DROOLING ON HIS BEARD AND FOAMING AT THE MOUTH AND ACTING 09:17 CRAZY. 09:18 HE WASN'T CRAZY, CRAZY LIKE A FOX, AS THEY SAY. 09:20 AND SO DAVID HAD HIS PROBLEMS, BUT LISTEN HOW GOD LOOKS AT 09:24 DAVID. 09:25 1 KINGS 14:8, "AND YET YOU HAVE NOT BEEN AS MY SERVANT DAVID, 09:30 WHO KEPT MY COMMANDMENTS, WHO FOLLOWED ME WITH ALL HIS HEART, 09:34 TO DO ONLY WHAT WAS RIGHT IN MY EYES." 09:38 HAD GOD FORGIVEN ALL OF DAVID'S SINS BECAUSE OF HIS 09:42 SACRIFICE? 09:45 AND HE LOOKED UPON DAVID, HE SAYS, "I ONLY SEE THAT DAVID 09:49 DID GOOD." 09:50 BECAUSE DAVID ENDED WELL. 09:53 YOU MAY FALL ALONG THE WAY IN THE RACE AND YOU MAY EVEN HAVE A 09:56 BAD START, BUT YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD FINISH. 10:00 AND SO GOD LOOKED UPON DAVID AND THE RECORD THAT GOD GIVES ABOUT 10:03 DAVID, HE SAYS, "HE FOLLOWED ME WITH ALL HIS HEART." 10:06 THE REASON THAT GOD COULD SAY DAVID WAS A KING AFTER MY HEART 10:09 IS 'CAUSE DAVID HAD A SACRIFICIAL LOVE. 10:13 DAVID IS A WONDERFUL TYPE OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE. 10:15 HOW OFTEN DO YOU FIND SOMEBODY WITH SUCH A COMPLEX CHARACTER 10:18 WHO IN ONE VIGNETTE YOU SEE DAVID. 10:22 HE'S ON A HILL THERE WITH HIS SHEEP, HE'S STRUMMING HIS HARP 10:24 AND HE'S BEING POETIC AND MELANCHOLY. 10:27 AND NEXT YOU SEE HIM, HE'S ON THE BATTLEFIELD, HE'S GOT THIS 10:29 OVERSIZED SWORD AND HE'S HACKING OFF A GIANT'S HEAD. 10:32 THOSE PICTURES DON'T USUALLY GO TOGETHER IN OUR MINDS ABOUT THE 10:34 SAME PERSON DOING THOSE THINGS, RIGHT? 10:37 DAVID IS A VERY COMPLEX CHARACTER IN THAT HE WAS A POET, 10:40 HE WAS A SHEPHERD, HE'S A KING, HE'S A JUDGE, HE'S A BUILDER, 10:43 HE'S AN ADMINISTRATOR. 10:45 HE'S A DREAMER. 10:46 HE WAS A ROMANTIC. 10:50 AND THEN ALL--THAT DAVID VERY COMPLEX, BUT THEY'RE ALL GIVING 10:53 DIFFERENT SIDES OF OUR JESUS, THE SON OF DAVID. 10:58 YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THAT HE WAS WILLING TO 11:02 DIE FOR HIS CHILDREN. 11:04 NOW, HERE'S THE PART THAT I DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS. 11:07 DAVID LEFT JERUSALEM BECAUSE THERE WAS A REBELLION. 11:12 AND WHEN THIS BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON IS FOUGHT, SO TO 11:16 SPEAK, DAVID THEN COMES BACK AS KING. 11:21 HE WAS A KING THAT WAS BASICALLY REJECTED, BUT A KING THAT COMES 11:24 BACK. 11:26 IS OUR KING DAVID COMING BACK? 11:27 OUR KING JESUS COMING BACK? 11:30 THE SON OF DAVID? 11:32 AND WHEN HE CAME BACK, HE REWARDED THOSE WHO HAD SUPPORTED 11:35 HIM WHEN HE WAS REJECTED. 11:38 THERE'S SOME WHO STAYED BEHIND IN JERUSALEM AND DAVID FLED 11:41 BECAUSE HE WAS REJECTED. 11:43 WHEN THE NATION WAS KIDNAPPED, SOME STAYED BEHIND THAT REMAINED 11:46 LOYAL TO HIM. 11:47 THEY WERE THE MINORITY. 11:49 AND SOME WHO TURNED ON HIM, WHEN IT WAS CONVENIENT, WHEN HE CAME 11:54 BACK, HE REWARDED THOSE WHO WERE LOYAL. 11:59 HE JUDGED THOSE WHO HAD BEEN UNFAITHFUL. 12:02 OUR SON OF DAVID IS COMING BACK AND HE'S GOING TO BRING THE NEW 12:05 JERUSALEM WHEN HE COMES. 12:08 YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, AS I GO THROUGH THESE STORIES, I KEEP 12:11 THINKING ABOUT THAT VERSE IN HEBREWS 32. 12:13 AS WE LOOK AT THE TYPES OF JESUS THROUGH ALL THE BIBLE, I KEEP 12:16 WANTING TO SAY, AND WHAT SHALL I MORE SAY? 12:20 FOR TIME WOULD FAIL ME TO TELL OF GIDEON AND BARAK AND SAMSON 12:23 AND JEPHTHAH AND DAVID AND SAMUEL AND ALL THE PROPHETS. 12:28 THESE ARE ALL TYPES OF CHRIST IN THE BIBLE. 12:31 YOU KNOW, YOU GET ALL THESE DIFFERENT PICTURES OF WHAT 12:34 CHRIST IS LIKE BECAUSE HE'S REFLECTED. 12:38 I CAN SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE DIRECTLY OR I CAN LOOK AT A 12:40 MIRROR AND SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, AND YOU ARE SEEING MIRRORS 12:43 OF JESUS ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE. 12:46 AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE SPENDING TIME ON THIS THEME, SO WE MIGHT 12:49 KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW HIM BETTER, YOU'LL LOVE 12:52 HIM BETTER. 12:53 IF YOU LOVE HIM BETTER, YOU'LL SERVE HIM BETTER. 12:55 AMEN? 12:56 CHRIST IS ALL AND ALL IN THE BIBLE. 12:58 >> STAY TUNED, THERE'S MORE "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS" 13:00 RIGHT AFTER THIS. 13:04 >> DEEP WITHIN THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE, STORIES OF GREAT HEROES, 13:10 HEROES OF GREAT DEEDS, GREAT LOVE 13:14 AND GREAT SACRIFICE. 13:18 BUT BEHIND THEM IS ANOTHER HERO, HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT AMID 13:23 THE SHADOWS. 13:26 HE WAS THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND HE'LL BE THERE 13:31 UNTIL THE END. 13:33 DISCOVER THE GOLDEN THREAD OF A SAVIOR WOVEN THROUGHOUT 13:37 THE ENTIRE BIBLE TAPESTRY. 13:41 "SHADOWS OF LIGHT, SEEING JESUS IN ALL THE BIBLE," A NEW BOOK BY 13:47 DOUG BATCHELOR. 13:49 FOR A DONATION OF $20 OR MORE, YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS 13:53 EXCITING NEW BOOK BY PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR. 13:56 CALL US TODAY AT 1-800-891-7171 OR GO TO SHADOWSOFLIGHT.ORG. 14:04 >> CHRIST IS CALLED THE WORD, THE BIBLE'S CALLED THE WORD. 14:09 CHRIST IS CALLED THE BREAD OF LIFE, THE BIBLE'S CALLED 14:12 THE BREAD OF LIFE. 14:13 CHRIST IS CALLED THE ROCK, THE BIBLE IS CALLED THE ROCK. 14:17 CHRIST IS CALLED GOOD AND WONDERFUL, THE WORD IS CALLED 14:20 GOOD AND WONDERFUL. 14:21 AS YOU GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS AND WORDS USED TO 14:24 DESCRIBE THE BIBLE IN THE BIBLE, YOU FIND THEY'RE ALMOST ALWAYS 14:28 ALSO USED TO DESCRIBE JESUS. 14:32 SO IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE YOU THAT ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, 14:34 YOU FIND JESUS. 14:36 TODAY WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE BOOK OF JOB AND WE'LL UNDERSTAND 14:40 SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST. 14:43 WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BE ON HOLY GROUND TODAY. 14:46 ALL THROUGH THE BOOK OF JOB, YOU CAN FIND ALLEGORIES AND 14:49 REFERENCES TO JESUS, NOT ONLY THE BOOK OF JOB, BUT THE WHOLE 14:54 OLD TESTAMENT REALLY MIRRORS THE LIFE OF CHRIST. 14:57 IT'S DIFFERENT FACETS OF THE LIFE OF JESUS. 15:00 LIKE A DIAMOND, YOU TURN IT TO THE LIGHT AND YOU SEE DIFFERENT 15:03 FACETS AND CUTS IN THE DIAMOND GLIMMERING. 15:06 AS YOU LOOK THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT, YOU SEE 15:08 JESUS EVERYWHERE AND THE BOOK OF JOB IS NO EXCEPTION. 15:11 ONE VERY EASY THING TO DISCERN, HOW JOB IS LIKE JESUS, IS IN THE 15:16 FIRST CHAPTER, THE FIRST LINE. 15:19 THERE WAS--"JOB WAS PERFECT AND UPRIGHT," IT SAYS. 15:23 "THERE WAS A MAN IN THE LAND OF UZ WHOSE NAME WAS JOB AND THAT 15:27 MAN WAS BLAMELESS AND UPRIGHT, ONE WHO FEARED GOD AND HE 15:32 HATED EVIL. 15:33 IN THE VERY BEGINNING, THE BIBLE EXTOLS ALMOST THE SINLESSNESS 15:38 OF JOB. 15:39 NOW, I'M NOT SAYING B WAS SINLESS 'CAUSE HE WAS A MAN AND 15:41 THE BIBLE SAYS ALL HAVE SINNED, BUT HE WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN 15:45 AND A GODLY MAN. 15:47 CHRIST WAS SINLESS. 15:49 1 PETER 2:22, THAT'S EASY TO REMEMBER, 1 PETER, 2-2-2. 15:54 IT SAYS, "CHRIST WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS DECEIT FOUND IN 15:59 HIS MOUTH." 16:00 AGAIN IN THE BOOK OF JOB CHAPTER 1, VERSE 22, 16:03 VERY MUCH LIKE 1 PETER. 16:05 "IN ALL THIS JOB DID NOT SIN NOR CHARGE GOD WITH WRONG." 16:11 JOB IS CALLED A SERVANT OF GOD. 16:14 JESUS IS IDENTIFIED AS THE SERVANT. 16:16 JOB 2, VERSE 3, "THE LORD SAID TO SATAN, 'HAVE YOU CONSIDERED 16:19 MY SERVANT JOB, THERE'S NONE LIKE HIM ON THE EARTH, A 16:23 BLAMELESS AND AN UPRIGHT MAN." 16:24 SPEAKING OF CHRIST, ISAIAH PROPHECIES, ISAIAH 42, VERSE 1, 16:30 "BEHOLD! 16:31 MY SERVANT WHOM I UPHOLD, MY ELECT ONE IN WHOM MY SOUL 16:34 DELIGHTS! 16:35 I HAVE PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM; HE WILL BRING FORTH JUSTICE TO 16:39 THE GENTILES." 16:40 NOW YOU REALIZE THAT WITH A TYPE AND WITH AN ANTITYPE, THAT 16:45 THE ANTITYPE IS USUALLY IT'S A SHADOW. 16:50 IT'S NOT AN EXACT REPLICA, BUT THERE'S GREAT SIMILARITIES 16:54 THERE. 16:55 AND THIS IS WHERE IF YOU READ THROUGH THE BOOK OF JOB, YOU 16:57 KEEP SEEING THE SHADOWS IN THE TYPES OF CHRIST THAT ARE THERE. 17:02 FOR INSTANCE, HE'S FORSAKEN BY HIS FRIENDS. 17:07 HIS FRIENDS COME FROM FAR. 17:08 AT FIRST THEY'RE COMING TO SUPPORT HIM, BUT ULTIMATELY AS 17:13 THE STORY GOES ON, THEY TURN ON HIM. 17:17 THEY SAY, "WELL, YOU'RE GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE." 17:19 WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FRIENDS? 17:22 MATTHEW 26:56, "BUT ALL THIS WAS DONE THAT THE SCRIPTURES AND THE 17:27 PROPHETS MIGHT BE FULFILLED. 17:29 ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM AND FLED." 17:33 JOB SAYS, CHAPTER 19, VERSE 14, "MY RELATIVES HAVE FAILED, MY 17:38 CLOSE FRIENDS HAVE FORGOTTEN ME." 17:41 BY THE WAY, AFTER JOB'S SUFFERING AND HE'S OUT THERE IN 17:44 THE DUMP, HIS WIFE COMES ALONG AND SAYS, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST 17:46 CURSE GOD AND DIE?" 17:48 ALL OF HIS FAMILY DIES EXCEPT HIS WIFE. 17:51 THE DEVIL SAVED HER SO SHE COULD COME AND SAY, "WHY DON'T YOU 17:53 JUST DIE?" 17:55 SOMETIMES THE DEVIL WILL EVEN USE THOSE CLOSEST TO US TO 17:57 DISCOURAGE US. 17:59 IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE BAD, BUT YOU KNOW EVEN THE DEVIL USED 18:01 PETER ON JESUS. 18:03 HE'S FALSELY ACCUSED OF EVIL, JOB IS. 18:07 JOB WAS A PERFECT AND UPRIGHT MAN, BUT WHAT DID THEY SAY ABOUT 18:10 HIM? 18:11 JOB 22, VERSE 5 HIS FRIENDS SAID, "IS NOT YOUR WICKEDNESS 18:14 GREAT, AND YOUR INIQUITY WITHOUT END?" 18:17 WELL, THAT WAS OPPOSITE THE TESTIMONY OF GOD. 18:21 WAS JESUS FALSELY ACCUSED OF EVIL? 18:25 MATTHEW 26, VERSE 59, "NOW THE CHIEF PRIESTS, AND THE ELDERS, 18:29 AND ALL THE COUNCIL SOUGHT FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST HIM," FALSE 18:33 TESTIMONY, "TO PUT JESUS TO DEATH, BUT FOUND NONE. 18:38 EVEN THOUGH MANY FALSE WITNESSES CAME FORWARD, THEY FOUND NONE. 18:41 AT LAST TWO FALSE WITNESSES CAME FORWARD AND SAID, 'THIS FELLOW 18:44 SAID, I AM ABLE TO DESTROY THE TEMPLE AND TO BUILD IT 18:47 IN THREE DAYS.'" AND THEY SAID WHEN HE 18:49 WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS, "THE REASON YOU'RE SUFFERING IS 18:51 'CAUSE OF YOUR WICKEDNESS. 18:53 GOD'S ABANDONED YOU." 18:54 REMEMBER AS WE LOOK AT THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST IN JOB, 18:58 CHRISTIANS ALSO SUFFER WHEN YOU FOLLOW JESUS. 19:01 WE ALSO EXPERIENCE PERSECUTION. 19:02 THERE WILL BE DARK DAYS WHERE YOU'LL BE TESTED. 19:06 GOD WILL WITHDRAW THAT HEDGE AND YOU'LL WONDER, 19:08 "WHAT HAVE I DONE? 19:10 WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?" 19:12 I'VE GONE TO VISIT PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL AND I REMEMBER WORD FOR 19:15 WORD THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID, "DOUG, WHY IS GOD DOING THIS 19:17 TO ME?" 19:19 THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ABANDONED. 19:21 THAT DOESN'T MEAN JESUS DOESN'T LOVE YOU. 19:23 HE STILL LOVED JOB. 19:25 THE FATHER STILL LOVED HIS OWN SON AND THEY SUFFERED. 19:28 AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I LOVE ABOUT THE COMPARISON BETWEEN JOB 19:31 AND JESUS IS AS YOU NEAR THE END OF THE BOOK, THERE ARE TIMES 19:37 WHEN JOB'S FATE--FAITH IS VACILLATING AND YOU CAN SEE HE'S 19:41 SAYING, "WHY, WHY, WHY?" 19:43 AND JESUS SAID, "WHY? 19:44 WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 19:46 BUT IT TRIUMPHS. 19:47 THEN YOU READ THOSE VERSES WHERE HE SAYS, "THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET 19:51 WILL I TRUST HIM." 19:53 SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, CHRIST ON THE CROSS AT THE END, 19:57 HE TRIUMPHS. 19:58 HE ENDS UP SAYING, "FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT. 20:02 IT IS FINISHED." 20:04 HE KNEW THAT HIS MISSION WAS COMPLETE. 20:06 THERE WAS A GREAT TRIUMPH THERE. 20:08 IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK OF JOB, JOB DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S 20:11 GOING ON. 20:12 ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE GETS BLINDSIDED BY ALL THESE PLAGUES 20:14 AND LOSING HIS FAMILY AND LOSING HIS WEALTH AND HIS HEALTH. 20:18 AND HE'S SAYING, "WHY HAS GOD DONE THIS TO ME?" 20:21 BY THE END OF THE BOOK, GOD IS SHOWING HIM NOW WHO'S REALLY 20:24 BEHIND IT. 20:26 IN JOB CHAPTER 41, GOD DEDICATES AN ENTIRE CHAPTER TO SOME SEA 20:32 MONSTER CALLED LEVIATHAN. 20:35 NOW LISTEN, HERE'S THE KEY, ISAIAH 27 VERSE 1, "IN THAT DAY 20:40 THE LORD WITH HIS SORE AND GREAT AND STRONG SWORD," THAT'S THE 20:45 WORD OF GOD, "SHALL PUNISH LEVIATHAN THAT PIERCING SERPENT, 20:51 EVEN LEVIATHAN THAT CROOKED SERPENT; AND HE SHALL SLAY THE 20:55 DRAGON THAT IS IN THE SEA." 20:57 OH, AH-HA. 21:00 YOU OUGHT TO HAVE HAD AN EPIPHANY RIGHT ABOUT NOW. 21:02 DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU? 21:04 REVELATION CHAPTER 12, SPEAKING OF THAT DRAGON, "ANOTHER SIGN 21:08 APPEARED IN HEAVEN, A GREAT FIERY DRAGON." 21:10 IT SAYS IN CHAPTER 13, VERSE 1, "THIS BEAST WITH SEVEN HEADS AND 21:14 SEVEN HORNS COMES UP OUT OF THE SEA." 21:17 AND IT SAYS, "THAT DRAGON, THAT SERPENT OF OLD CALLED THE DEVIL 21:20 AND SATAN." 21:21 DRAGON, SERPENT, LEVIATHAN, OUT OF THE SEA. 21:26 WHO ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? 21:28 SO IN THE END OF THE BOOK, WHAT IS GOD SAYING? 21:30 NOW THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME SEA CREATURE THAT'S NOW EXTINCT. 21:34 SCHOLARS DON'T AGREE. 21:36 SOME SAY IT'S A CROCODILE, BUT THEY SAY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN 21:38 A CROCODILE, IT'S IN THE OCEAN. 21:39 WELL, THERE ARE--THERE ARE SALTWATER CROCODILES, BUT THEY 21:41 WEREN'T THAT BIG. 21:43 AND BELIEVE ME, SAILORS HAVE PLENTY OF STORIES AND THEORIES 21:45 ABOUT WHAT THAT IS. 21:47 BUT HE'S BASICALLY SAYING, "YOU CAN'T DEFEAT THE LEVIATHAN 21:53 WITHOUT ME. 21:54 HE'S THE ONE WHO'S BEHIND YOUR SUFFERINGS. 21:56 HE'S THE ONE WHO BROUGHT FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND BURNT UP 21:58 YOUR CROPS, WHO'S ABLE TO SEND THIS SICKNESS, WHO DESTROYED 22:01 YOUR FAMILY WITH A TORNADO. 22:03 YOU CAN'T DEFEAT THE DEVIL." 22:06 BUT GOD SAYS, "I CAN." 22:09 AND SO IN THE END OF THE BOOK OF JOB, GOD IS SAYING THAT "I AM 22:12 THE ONE WHO CAN DESTROY THE LEVIATHAN, THE KING OF PRIDE." 22:17 AND JOB IS GOING, HE'S--"IT'S NOT YOU, GOD, WHO'S BEEN 22:20 AGAINST ME. 22:21 IT'S THE LEVIATHAN, THE DEVIL, THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, WHO'S 22:24 BEEN AFTER ME. 22:26 AND YOU SIMPLY LET HIS LEASH GET A LITTLE LONGER SO THAT I COULD 22:30 LEARN SOMETHING, LEARN TO TRUST YOU." 22:33 YOU KNOW WHAT'S ALSO BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THE BOOK OF JOB? 22:36 IS THAT IT TEACHES US LESSONS OF HANGING ON AND PATIENCE. 22:45 IN THE END JOB IS BLESSED. 22:49 HE'S DOUBLY BLESSED IN THE END. 22:53 MATTER OF FACT, JOB KIND OF GOES THROUGH A RESURRECTION, 22:55 DON'T YOU THINK? 22:57 HE GOES FROM BEING IN THE DUMP COVERED WITH BOILS DYING--IT 23:01 LOOKS TERMINAL. 23:02 ALL OF A SUDDEN, GOD HEALS HIM MIRACULOUSLY. 23:05 HE'S INTERCEDING FOR HIS FRIENDS. 23:07 HE RESTORES ALL OF HIS WEALTH. 23:09 HE'S GOT TWICE AS MUCH WEALTH. 23:11 YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS, ADD UP WHAT HE'S GOT IN THE BEGINNING, 23:13 THEN YOU ADD UP WHAT HE HAS AT THE END. 23:15 IT'S DOUBLED. 23:16 AND HE LIVES ANOTHER 140 YEARS BEYOND THAT EXPERIENCE. 23:21 WE DON'T KNOW HOW OLD HE WAS. 23:22 YOU CAN JUST SPECULATE HE WAS AT LEAST, FOR HIM TO HAVE THOSE 23:25 KIDS THAT HE HAD AND HAVE THE WEALTH HE HAD BASED ON THAT TIME 23:27 IN WHICH HE LIVED, HE LIVED OVER 200 YEARS. 23:31 AND SO IT WAS LIKE A TYPE OF RESURRECTION HE WENT THROUGH, 23:34 JUST LIKE JESUS. 23:35 AND HIS GLORY RETURNED TO HIM AS CHRIST WHEN HE ASCENDED TO 23:38 HEAVEN. 23:39 HIS HEALTH RETURNED TO HIM. 23:40 HIS FRIENDS RETURNED TO HIM. 23:41 EVERYTHING CAME BACK. 23:43 AND YOU MAY GO THROUGH TRIALS, BUT YOU KNOW THE BOOK OF JOB 23:45 ENDS WITH A HAPPY NOTE. 23:48 THAT'S WHY JAMES SAYS, "REMEMBER THE PATIENCE OF JOB." 23:50 DON'T GET DISCOURAGED IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A TRIAL, FRIENDS. 23:53 GOD STILL LOVES YOU. 23:54 THERE'S A DEVIL OUT THERE AND HE'S GONNA TRY AND CAUSE 23:57 PROBLEMS. 23:58 BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCOPE OF JOB'S LIFE, 200 YEARS. 24:03 AND THEN THE 42 CHAPTERS, HOW LONG DID IT LAST OUT OF 24:06 THAT 200 YEARS? 24:08 A FEW WEEKS, A FEW WEEKS OF SUFFERING FOR THE 200 YEARS. 24:14 SO THE SUFFERING THAT WE EXPERIENCE IN THIS LIFE AND THE 24:17 EPISODES OF SUFFERING IN THIS LIFE, COMPARED TO ETERNITY, IS 24:20 IT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED? 24:23 IT'S SMALL COMPARED TO THE GLORY AND THE JOY AND THE HAPPINESS 24:27 AND THE BLESSING AND THE RICHES THAT GOD IS GOING TO GIVE US 24:30 FOR ETERNITY. 24:31 SO THE BOOK OF JOB IS NOT A SAD BOOK. 24:34 OH, THERE'S A LOT OF HEAVY THINGS IN THERE, BUT YOU KNOW IT 24:35 STARTS OUT TALKING ABOUT A PERFECT MAN AND IT ENDS UP 24:38 TALKING ABOUT A HAPPY, BLESSED MAN. 24:40 AND THEN IT SAYS THAT IN BETWEEN YOU'VE GOT GOD'S BLESSING 24:45 AND PROTECTION, THE DEVIL MAKES AN ATTACK. 24:47 JOB DOES NOT GIVE UP HIS FAITH AND THEN IN THE END HE'S BLESSED 24:51 FOREVER. 24:52 YOU AND I ARE GONNA GET ATTACKED. 24:55 YOU MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH AN ATTACK RIGHT NOW. 24:57 DON'T GIVE UP YOUR FAITH. 24:58 REMEMBER WHERE I STARTED OUT WITH THAT QUOTE FROM JAMES? 25:01 "BEHOLD, WE COUNT THEM HAPPY WHICH ENDURE." 25:04 JESUS SAID, "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ENDURE TO THE END, 25:08 THEY WILL BE SAVED. 25:09 HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED. 25:11 YOU'VE HEARD OF THE PATIENCE OF JOB AND HAVE SEEN THE END OF THE 25:14 LORD, THOUGH THE LORD IS PITIFUL AND OF TENDER MERCY." 25:17 IN THE END, FRIENDS, WE WIN, NOT THE LEVIATHAN OR THE DRAGON. 25:23 CAN YOU SEE JESUS IN THE BOOK OF JOB? 25:26 YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS HOLY GROUND. 25:29 IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ABOUT HOW MUCH JESUS MUST LOVE YOU 'CAUSE 25:32 OF THE SUFFERINGS HE WENT THROUGH. 25:34 AND JOB DID NOT SUFFER LIKE JESUS, BUT HE SUFFERED. 25:38 AND YOU MAY SUFFER. 25:40 YOU MIGHT BE SUFFERING NOW. 25:42 BUT YOU AND I HAVEN'T SUFFERED LIKE JESUS SUFFERED. 25:44 HE TOOK THE WEIGHT OF THE SINS OF THE WORLD ON HIS SHOULDERS 25:48 FOR YOU AND ME BECAUSE HE LOVES US SO MUCH BECAUSE HE DOESN'T 25:50 WANT US TO SUFFER LIKE THAT. 25:52 AND I THINK YOU COULD TRUST A GOD LIKE THAT, 25:54 DON'T YOU FRIENDS? 25:56 DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. 25:58 HANG ON LIKE JOB AND YOU'LL COME FORTH ON THE OTHER SIDE. 26:01 GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOU FACE TO FACE LIKE HE TALKED TO JOB 26:04 FACE TO FACE. 26:05 YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE PURIFIED AND YOU WILL BE LIKE CHRIST. 26:08 AMEN?
