00:01:17.07\00:01:20.21
CHRIST. THERE IS
STILL A TEMPLE ON
00:01:20.21\00:01:23.58
EARTH. YOU AND
I ARE THE PRIESTS.
00:01:23.58\00:01:25.88
YOU AND I ARE THE LIVING STONES
IN THAT TEMPLE AND THAT'S WHY
00:01:25.88\00:01:29.35

>>WELCOME ONCE AGAIN, FRIENDS,
TO ANOTHER PRESENTATION IN THE
00:01:53.27\00:01:57.55
LANDMARK OF PROPHECY SERIES.
WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT EACH OF
00:01:57.55\00:02:01.22
YOU ARE HERE. I WANT
TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.95
FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE TITLED THIS
00:02:02.95\00:02:05.92
SERIES LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY AND
ONE OF THE FAMOUS LANDMARKS IN
00:02:05.92\00:02:09.02
THE WORLD, OF
COURSE, IS THE TAJ MAHAL.
00:02:09.02\00:02:12.13
THE EMPEROR'S WIFE DIED GIVING
BIRTH TO THEIR 14TH CHILD AND HE
00:02:12.13\00:02:18.90
LOVED HER SO MUCH THAT HE WANTED
TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WOULD
00:02:18.90\00:02:23.27
JUST COMMEMORATE HIS LOVE FOR
HER AND SO HE HAD JUST THE BEST
00:02:23.27\00:02:28.84
ARCHITECTS IN THE KINGDOM THAT
BUILT THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.
00:02:28.84\00:02:32.18
WHAT MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE
OF IS THAT HE ALSO SAW IT AS A
00:02:32.18\00:02:38.25
PLACE WHERE PEOPLE
COULD FIND REDEMPTION.
00:02:38.25\00:02:41.16
WHEN THE EMPEROR DEDICATED THE
BUILDING, IT WAS EMPEROR SHAH
00:02:41.16\00:02:46.33
JAHAN, HE DECLARED IN THESE
WORDS, "SHOULD THE GUILTY SEEK
00:02:46.33\00:02:50.47
ASYLUM HERE, LIKE ONE PARDONED,
HE BECOMES FREE FROM SIN.
00:02:50.47\00:02:55.24
SHOULD A SINNER MAKE
HIS WAY TO THIS MANSION,
00:02:55.24\00:02:57.74
ALL HIS PAST SINS
ARE TO BE WASHED AWAY.
00:02:57.74\00:03:00.74
THE SIGHT OF THIS MANSION
CREATES SORROWING SIGHS AND THE
00:03:00.74\00:03:03.61
SUN AND THE MOON SHED
TEARS FROM THEIR EYES.
00:03:03.61\00:03:06.98
IN THIS WORLD, THIS EDIFICE HAS
BEEN MADE; TO DISPLAY THEREBY
00:03:06.98\00:03:10.22
THE CREATOR'S
GLORY." VERY INTERESTING.
00:03:10.22\00:03:13.56
HE SPEAKS OF A MONOTHEISTIC
CREATOR AND THAT THIS BUILDING
00:03:13.56\00:03:17.79
WAS TO BE A PLACE WHERE A PERSON
COULD FIND ASYLUM - LIKE A CITY
00:03:17.79\00:03:20.46
OF REFUGE. AND SO,
IT'S NOT JUST BEAUTIFUL,
00:03:20.46\00:03:23.10
IT ALSO HAD SOME REPRESENTATION
OF A PLACE OF WORSHIP AS WELL.
00:03:23.10\00:03:29.27
YOU KNOW, THERE IS A BUILDING
THAT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT -
00:03:29.27\00:03:33.71
IT'S CALLED SOMETIMES THE
TABERNACLE, THE TEMPLE, THE
00:03:33.71\00:03:38.05
SANCTUARY - THAT IS FOUND
ALL THE WAY FROM EXODUS THROUGH
00:03:38.05\00:03:41.72
REVELATION AND IS MENTIONED
BY MOST OF THE MAJOR BIBLE
00:03:41.72\00:03:45.55
PROPHETS. IN THE
CONTEXT OF THIS BUILDING
00:03:45.55\00:03:49.96
WE'RE GOING TO LEARN A LOT ABOUT
SALVATION TONIGHT, AND SOME OF
00:03:49.96\00:03:52.99
THE MOST INTERESTING BIBLE
PROPHECIES THAT EVEN RELATE TO
00:03:52.99\00:03:56.33
OUR DAY. THE
LESSON TODAY IS LESSON #11
00:03:56.33\00:03:59.40
DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT
OF CLEANSING THE SANCTUARY.
00:03:59.40\00:04:02.64
NOW, WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
CAME OUT OF EGYPT AND MOSES WENT
00:04:02.64\00:04:06.94
UP MOUNT SINAI, WHAT DID HE GET
UP THERE ON TOP OF MOUNT SINAI?
00:04:06.94\00:04:10.68
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.51
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT
THE ONLY THING HE GOT UP THERE.
00:04:12.51\00:04:14.28
THE BIBLE TELLS US THE
LORD GAVE HIM BLUEPRINTS.
00:04:14.28\00:04:18.52
JUST LIKE THE LORD GAVE
BLUEPRINTS TO NOAH TO BUILD THE
00:04:18.52\00:04:20.99
ARK, HE GAVE BLUEPRINTS TO
MOSES TO BUILD A TABERNACLE.
00:04:20.99\00:04:25.89
THIS WAS TO BE THE CENTRAL
PLACE OF WORSHIP IN THE HEBREW
00:04:25.89\00:04:29.33
ECONOMY. IT WAS
A VERY SPECIFICALLY
00:04:29.33\00:04:32.37
DESIGNED BUILDING THAT WAS TO
TEACH THEM ABOUT HOW GOD SAVES
00:04:32.37\00:04:36.24
PEOPLE. AND HERE'S A PICTURE.
00:04:36.24\00:04:38.61
AT FIRST, WHEN THEY WERE GOING
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, THEY
00:04:38.61\00:04:41.18
NEEDED A PORTABLE TABERNACLE
BECAUSE THEY WOULD STRIKE THEIR
00:04:41.18\00:04:44.38
CAMP, MOVE TO ANOTHER SPOT,
PITCH IT AGAIN, STRIKE IT, MOVE
00:04:44.38\00:04:47.28
TO ANOTHER SPOT - THEY HAD
ALL THESE LEVITES THAT WERE
00:04:47.28\00:04:50.09
DESIGNATED TO CARRY IT ON THEIR
SHOULDERS FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
00:04:50.09\00:04:52.35
FOR 40 YEARS THEY
CARRIED THEIR TEMPLE WITH THEM.
00:04:52.35\00:04:54.49
FINALLY, WHEN THEY GOT INTO
THE PROMISED LAND, THEY BUILT A
00:04:54.49\00:04:57.13
PERMANENT ONE. BUT
THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT
00:04:57.13\00:05:00.86
HAPPENED HERE THAT ALL
ILLUSTRATED THE PLAN OF
00:05:00.86\00:05:03.47
SALVATION. THERE
WAS ONE DOOR - HOW MANY
00:05:03.47\00:05:06.57
WAYS OF SALVATION DOES
JESUS TELL US THERE ARE?
00:05:06.57\00:05:09.70
ONE - HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH,
THE LIFE. HE SAID 'I AM THE
00:05:09.70\00:05:12.27
DOOR.' HE'S THE LAMB OF GOD.
PEOPLE WOULD BRING THEIR LAMB
00:05:12.27\00:05:15.64
THROUGH THAT DOOR AND THE
FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED ON THE
00:05:15.64\00:05:18.55
ENTRANCE TO THE SANCTUARY
WAS THERE WAS A SACRIFICE.
00:05:18.55\00:05:21.05
THERE WERE TWO PIECES OF
FURNITURE THAT YOU PRINCIPALLY
00:05:21.05\00:05:24.62
SAW WHEN YOU WENT IN: AFTER
YOU WENT IN THE DOOR, THE FIRST
00:05:24.62\00:05:27.76
THING WAS WHAT
THEY CALLED THE ALTAR.
00:05:27.76\00:05:29.86
THIS IS WHERE THE SACRIFICE TOOK
PLACE AND WHERE IT WAS BURNT AND
00:05:29.86\00:05:32.83
PRESENTED TO GOD -
THAT REPRESENTS THE CROSS.
00:05:32.83\00:05:35.23
THE NEXT PIECE OF
FURNITURE YOU SAW WAS THE LAVER.
00:05:35.23\00:05:38.83
IT WAS WHERE THIS WATER WAS AND
THEY WOULD WASH, THEN, BEFORE
00:05:38.83\00:05:43.67
THEY ENTERED THE HOLY PLACE.
SO, IN EGYPT, THE CHILDREN OF
00:05:43.67\00:05:48.41
ISRAEL, BEFORE THEY WERE SAVED
FROM SLAVERY, THEY SACRIFICED A
00:05:48.41\00:05:50.98
LAMB. THEN THEY
WENT THROUGH THE RED
00:05:50.98\00:05:53.45
SEA. THAT WATER
IS A SYMBOL OF, LIKE,
00:05:53.45\00:05:56.25
BAPTISM. PAUL SAYS
THAT IN 1 CORINTHIANS
00:05:56.25\00:05:59.29
CHAPTER 10. THEY WERE BAPTIZED
IN THE SEA. WHEN THEY WENT DOWN
00:05:59.29\00:06:02.16
THROUGH THE RED SEA AND CAME
UP IT WAS SORT OF A SYMBOLIC
00:06:02.16\00:06:04.69
BAPTISM. THE BIBLE TELLS
US THAT JESUS IS THE LAMB.
00:06:04.69\00:06:07.46
JESUS IS THE ROCK.
JESUS IS THE LIVING WATER.
00:06:07.46\00:06:11.00
EVERYTHING YOU LOOK AT IN THE
TABERNACLE TELLS US ABOUT JESUS.
00:06:11.00\00:06:13.94
THEN YOU WENT INTO WHAT THEY
CALL THE HOLY PLACE - THE FIRST
00:06:13.94\00:06:17.47
ROOM OF THE TABERNACLE - AND
THE FIRST THING YOU SAW WHEN YOU
00:06:17.47\00:06:21.38
WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE
WAS THIS TABLE OF SHOWBREAD.
00:06:21.38\00:06:24.41
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE BREAD
OF LIFE.' RIGHT? THE OTHER THING
00:06:24.41\00:06:29.22
YOU SAW WAS A LAMPSTAND
WITH SEVEN LAMPS ON IT.
00:06:29.22\00:06:33.19
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS SAID, 'I
AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.' AND
00:06:33.19\00:06:36.32
THEN THE THIRD THING YOU SAW WAS
THIS ALTAR OF INCENSE AND THAT'S
00:06:36.32\00:06:41.90
WHERE THEY WOULD SPRINKLE
INCENSE AND THE PLEASANT AROMA
00:06:41.90\00:06:45.60
WOULD WAFT OVER THE CURTAIN INTO
THE HOLY OF HOLIES OR THE MOST
00:06:45.60\00:06:49.54
HOLY PLACE. THIS
REPRESENTS THE PRAYERS -
00:06:49.54\00:06:53.14
THE INTERCESSION - OF
JESUS. WE PRAY IN HIS NAME.
00:06:53.14\00:06:56.51
SO, BEFORE WE GO ANY FARTHER,
WE SAW THREE THINGS IN THE HOLY
00:06:56.51\00:06:59.78
PLACE: THOSE ARE THE THREE
SECRET WEAPONS FOR YOUR BEING
00:06:59.78\00:07:03.85
SUCCESSFUL AS A
CHRISTIAN. DID YOU CATCH IT?
00:07:03.85\00:07:07.29
BREAD, LIGHT,
THE ALTAR OF INCENSE.
00:07:07.29\00:07:12.09
THAT'S READING YOUR BIBLE -
THAT'S THE BREAD OF LIFE - MAN
00:07:12.09\00:07:14.93
DOESN'T LIVE BY BREAD ALONE,
BUT BY EVERY WORD - RIGHT?
00:07:14.93\00:07:17.07
GOD SAID LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
- BE A WITNESS - AND YOU NEED TO
00:07:17.07\00:07:21.77
PRAY. THAT'S
THAT ALTAR OF INCENSE.
00:07:21.77\00:07:24.17
THOSE THREE THINGS ARE THE KEYS
TO HAVING A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP
00:07:24.17\00:07:27.41
WITH GOD. NOW YOU
WENT THROUGH THE VEIL
00:07:27.41\00:07:30.31
INTO WHAT THEY CALLED THE HOLY
OF HOLIES AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE
00:07:30.31\00:07:33.55
THING IN THERE. WHAT WAS THAT?
(INAUDIBLE) THAT WAS THE ARK -
00:07:33.55\00:07:39.32
THE GOLDEN ARK OF THE COVENANT
- AND THERE - WHAT WAS INSIDE?
00:07:39.32\00:07:44.43
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:07:44.43\00:07:47.30
WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE PROPHECY
BOOKS OF ISAIAH, "IN THE YEAR" -
00:07:47.30\00:07:52.77
CHAPTER 6 - "IN THE YEAR THAT
KING UZZIAH DIED, I SAW THE LORD
00:07:52.77\00:07:55.00
SITTING ON A THRONE, HIGH AND
LIFTED UP, AND THE TRAIN OF HIS
00:07:55.00\00:07:57.37
ROBE FILLED THE TEMPLE."
THE VISION IS IN THE TEMPLE.
00:07:57.37\00:07:59.41
EZEKIEL - I READ IT TODAY IN MY
PERSONAL DEVOTIONS - CHAPTER 40
00:07:59.41\00:08:02.64
- HE'S MEASURING THE TEMPLE
- THE VISION'S IN THE TEMPLE.
00:08:02.64\00:08:05.11
ZECHARIAH, DANIEL, THE CONTEXT
OF SO MANY OF THESE GREAT
00:08:05.11\00:08:09.38
PROPHECIES - REVELATION - ARE
IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS BUILDING.
00:08:09.38\00:08:15.46
THERE ARE SOME SECRET LESSONS
THAT WE CAN LEARN ABOUT GOD AND
00:08:15.46\00:08:19.63
HOW HE SAVES - AND EVEN
PROPHECY - FROM STUDYING THIS.
00:08:19.63\00:08:23.33
SO, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT
THINGS THAT HAPPENED WITH JESUS'
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.90
MINISTRY - LET'S GO TO
THE LESSON - THE STORY AT THE
00:08:26.90\00:08:29.40
BEGINNING OF YOUR LESSON.
IS - THE CENTER OF WORSHIP FOR
00:08:29.40\00:08:34.34
THE JEWISH NATION AT THE TIME
OF CHRIST WAS THE JEWISH TEMPLE.
00:08:34.34\00:08:37.45
NOW THE TEMPLE, DURING THE TIME
OF JESUS, WAS THE ONE THAT HAD
00:08:37.45\00:08:40.92
BEEN REBUILT. NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD
DESTROYED THE ONE OF SOLOMON.
00:08:40.92\00:08:45.02
IT LASTED ABOUT 400 YEARS AND
THEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR DESTROYED IT
00:08:45.02\00:08:47.96
AND THEN YEARS LATER - 70 YEARS
LATER - THEY CAME BACK AND,
00:08:47.96\00:08:51.16
DURING THE TIME OF EZRA AND
NEHEMIAH, THEY REBUILT IT BUT IT
00:08:51.16\00:08:53.43
DIDN'T HAVE
QUITE THE FORMER GLORY.
00:08:53.43\00:08:55.63
BUT THEN, ALONG CAME A
ROMAN-JEWISH KING - HASMONEAN
00:08:55.63\00:09:00.44
KING - NAMED HEROD THE
GREAT WHO WAS QUITE A BUILDER.
00:09:00.44\00:09:04.17
HE LOVED TO BUILD
- PASSIONATE BUILDER.
00:09:04.17\00:09:05.97
HE BUILT MASADA.
HE BUILT CAESAREA.
00:09:05.97\00:09:08.41
HE BUILT EVERYWHERE. HE
ALSO WAS PRETTY HEARTLESS.
00:09:08.41\00:09:11.71
HE'S THE ONE WHO KILLED
THE BABIES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:09:11.71\00:09:13.42
BUT TO SHOW, FOR POLITICAL
REASONS, THE JEWS THAT HE WOULD
00:09:13.42\00:09:16.89
BE A GOOD KING, HE REFURBISHED
THEIR TEMPLE AND IT WAS A
00:09:16.89\00:09:19.42
BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND IT STILL WAS
THE PLACE WHERE THEY WORSHIPED.
00:09:19.42\00:09:22.39
SO WHEN JESUS CAME IN TO TEACH
IN THE TEMPLE, YOU KNOW, THE
00:09:22.39\00:09:26.26
PEOPLE WOULD BRING THEIR
SACRIFICES, WELL THE RELIGIOUS
00:09:26.26\00:09:29.13
LEADERS HAD TURNED IT INTO A
BAZAAR WHERE THEY WERE SELLING
00:09:29.13\00:09:33.00
LAMBS, SELLING DOVES, SELLING
SACRIFICES - THE COURTYARD OF
00:09:33.00\00:09:37.37
THE TEMPLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A PLACE OF PRAYER, AND
00:09:37.37\00:09:40.18
PRAISE, AND WORSHIP - IT SOUNDED
LIKE A FLEA MARKET AND A - IT
00:09:40.18\00:09:43.81
WAS LIKE A
STOCKADE AUCTION HOUSE.
00:09:43.81\00:09:46.05
EVERYBODY WAS FIGHTING OVER
THE PRICE OF SACRIFICES AND IT
00:09:46.05\00:09:48.68
SMELLED AND JESUS WALKED IN
THERE ONE DAY AND HE SAID, 'MY
00:09:48.68\00:09:53.36
FATHER'S HOUSE IS A HOUSE OF
PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS.' BY THE
00:09:53.36\00:09:57.33
WAY, HE'S QUOTING
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:09:57.33\00:09:58.96
HE SAID, 'YOU'VE TURNED IT INTO
A DEN OF THIEVES.' FIRE FLASHED
00:09:58.96\00:10:03.03
FROM HIS EYES. HE OVERTURNED
THE MONEYCHANGERS' TABLES.
00:10:03.03\00:10:06.80
YOU REMEMBER READING ABOUT THIS?
HE MADE A CORD - A WHIP OUT OF
00:10:06.80\00:10:10.27
CORDS IT DOESN'T SAY HE WHIPPED
ANYBODY BUT HIS HOLDING IT WAS
00:10:10.27\00:10:12.51
PROBABLY ENOUGH. AND
THEN HE SAID, IN JOHN
00:10:12.51\00:10:15.48
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 16,
"TAKE THESE THINGS HENCE!
00:10:15.48\00:10:18.25
MAKE NOT MY FATHER'S
HOUSE A HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE!"
00:10:18.25\00:10:22.12
NOTICE, JESUS SAID, 'MY FATHER'S
HOUSE.' AT THE END OF CHRIST'S
00:10:22.12\00:10:26.86
MINISTRY WHEN THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS REJECTED HIS TEACHING,
00:10:26.86\00:10:30.79
HE SAID, 'BEHOLD, YOUR HOUSE
IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.' THAT'S
00:10:30.79\00:10:36.00
INTERESTING TO
CONSIDER. THERE'S A CHANGE.
00:10:36.00\00:10:39.50
NOW, QUESTION #1: WHAT IS THE
STARTING POINT FOR THE 2300-DAY
00:10:39.50\00:10:45.41
AND 70-WEEK TIME PROPHECIES?
NOW GET YOUR BIBLES, TURN WITH
00:10:45.41\00:10:50.25
ME TO DANIEL 9:23, "AT THE
BEGINNING OF YOUR SUPPLICATIONS
00:10:50.25\00:10:56.08
THE COMMANDMENT WENT OUT, AND
I HAVE COME TO TELL YOU, FOR YOU
00:10:56.08\00:10:58.19
ARE GREATLY BELOVED; THEREFORE
CONSIDER THE MATTER, AND
00:10:58.19\00:11:00.42
UNDERSTAND THE VISION:" NOW
THERE'S NO VISION IN CHAPTER 9
00:11:00.42\00:11:03.22
SO WHAT VISION IS
THE ANGEL TALKING ABOUT?
00:11:03.22\00:11:05.99
THE ONE IN CHAPTER 8 HE DIDN'T
GET TO FINISH EXPLAINING BECAUSE
00:11:05.99\00:11:09.36
DANIEL FAINTED, RIGHT?
"SEVENTY WEEKS" - HERE WE GO,
00:11:09.36\00:11:13.60
VERSE 24 - DANIEL 9:24 -
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED
00:11:13.60\00:11:17.17
FOR YOUR PEOPLE" -
WHO WERE DANIEL'S PEOPLE?
00:11:17.17\00:11:19.64
JEWISH NATION - SEVENTY WEEKS -
THE WORD DETERMINED THERE MEANS
00:11:19.64\00:11:24.08
'CUT OFF' OR 'ALLOTTED'
OR 'REMAIN' FOR YOUR PEOPLE.
00:11:24.08\00:11:27.68
FOR WHAT? TO INTRODUCE
THE MESSIAH TO THE WORLD.
00:11:27.68\00:11:30.22
"AND FOR YOUR HOLY CITY, TO
FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, TO
00:11:30.22\00:11:35.62
MAKE AN END OF SINS," - THE
FINAL SACRIFICE FOR SIN WOULD BE
00:11:35.62\00:11:38.79
OFFERED - "TO MAKE
RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, TO
00:11:38.79\00:11:42.30
BRING IN EVERLASTING
RIGHTEOUSNESS," - THAT'S CHRIST
00:11:42.30\00:11:45.27
WHO BRINGS THAT EVERLASTING
RIGHTEOUSNESS - "TO SEAL UP THE
00:11:45.27\00:11:47.97
VISION AND PROPHECY, AND
TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY."
00:11:47.97\00:11:54.24
SO HE SAID SEVENTY WEEKS ARE
DETERMINED FOR ALL THESE THINGS
00:11:54.24\00:11:56.28
TO BE ACCOMPLISHED. "KNOW
THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND,"
00:11:56.28\00:11:59.01
- NOW HERE IS THE STARTING POINT
FOR ALL THESE PROPHECIES - "KNOW
00:11:59.01\00:12:02.42
THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND,
THAT FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE
00:12:02.42\00:12:05.62
COMMAND TO RESTORE AND BUILD
JERUSALEM UNTIL MESSIAH THE
00:12:05.62\00:12:10.63
PRINCE," - FROM THIS POINT
TO THIS POINT - "THERE SHALL BE
00:12:10.63\00:12:13.76
SEVEN WEEKS AND THREE-SCORE AND
TWO WEEKS;" ALRIGHT, THREE-SCORE
00:12:13.76\00:12:17.03
AND TWO IS SIXTY-TWO,
RIGHT? A SCORE IS TWENTY.
00:12:17.03\00:12:20.40
SIXTY-TWO PLUS SEVEN
IS HOW MUCH? SIXTY-NINE.
00:12:20.40\00:12:24.84
SO YOU'VE GOT ONE WEEK MISSING.
HE TELLS US WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
00:12:24.84\00:12:28.51
MIDST OF THAT LAST WEEK,
HE MAKES THE SACRIFICE CEASE.
00:12:28.51\00:12:31.21
SO HE BREAKS IT UP LIKE THAT
BECAUSE THERE'S THE FIRST SEVEN
00:12:31.21\00:12:34.15
WEEKS THEY'RE BUILDING
THE WALL AND THE STREET.
00:12:34.15\00:12:36.82
THEN YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS AND AT THE END
00:12:36.82\00:12:39.72
OF THAT SIXTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD
IT SAYS THAT THE MESSIAH IS
00:12:39.72\00:12:43.83
GOING TO BE ANOINTED
AND BEGIN HIS MINISTRY.
00:12:43.83\00:12:48.76
SO UNTO THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE -
SEVEN WEEKS; THREE-SCORE AND TWO
00:12:48.76\00:12:52.97
WEEKS. THE
STARTING POINT IS FROM THE
00:12:52.97\00:12:54.64
GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND
TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM.
00:12:54.64\00:12:57.87
CAN WE KNOW FROM ALL THE DUSTY,
MUSTY RECORDS OF HISTORY WHEN
00:12:57.87\00:13:01.21
DID THAT HAPPEN? GOOD
NEWS. IT'S GIVEN IN YOUR BIBLE.
00:13:01.21\00:13:05.91
IT'S IN EZRA 7:7. THE
DECREE OF KING ARTAXERXES -
00:13:05.91\00:13:09.78
THAT KING GAVE A DECREE
THAT ALLOWED THEM TO GO BACK.
00:13:09.78\00:13:14.02
IT WAS THE MOST PROMINENT
VARIETY OF DECREES THAT CAME
00:13:14.02\00:13:18.39
SAYING THAT THEY COULD
REBUILD THE CITY AND THE WALLS
00:13:18.39\00:13:21.33
AND THE TEMPLE
AND THAT IS 457 B.C.
00:13:21.33\00:13:25.73
IT IS A VERY CLEARLY
ESTABLISHED DATE IN HISTORY.
00:13:25.73\00:13:28.50
SO YOU'VE GOT THE STARTING POINT
- 457 - AND HE SAYS NOW IT'LL BE
00:13:28.50\00:13:32.64
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS UNTIL THE
MESSIAH BEGINS HIS MINISTRY.
00:13:32.64\00:13:36.58
FIRST THERE'D BE THE SEVEN WEEKS
- FORTY-NINE YEARS WHILE THEY'RE
00:13:36.58\00:13:39.65
BUILDING THE STREET AND THE WALL
IN TROUBLOUS TIMES, THEN THERE'D
00:13:39.65\00:13:42.38
BE ANOTHER SIXTY-TWO WEEKS -
A TOTAL OF SIXTY-NINE, RIGHT?
00:13:42.38\00:13:46.76
NOW WHEN YOU'RE INTERPRETING
BIBLE PROPHECY, WHAT IS THE
00:13:46.76\00:13:49.66
PRINCIPLE THAT
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE?
00:13:49.66\00:13:51.86
A DAY EQUALS A YEAR. >>A YEAR.
00:13:51.86\00:13:55.63
>>YOU CAN READ THIS - THERE'S
SEVERAL VERSES IN EZEKIEL 4:6,
00:13:55.63\00:13:58.77
"I HAVE APPOINTED
THEE EACH DAY FOR A YEAR."
00:13:58.77\00:14:01.90
YOU CAN READ NUMBERS 14:34 "EACH
DAY FOR A YEAR" THE ANGEL SAID
00:14:01.90\00:14:08.08
THAT IF YOU'RE TO COUNT
SIXTY-NINE WEEKS FROM 457 B.C.
00:14:08.08\00:14:13.05
YOU'D COME TO MESSIAH THE
PRINCE. SO NOW, DID IT HAPPEN?
00:14:13.05\00:14:17.42
IF YOU GO - A DAY
EQUALS A YEAR IN PROPHECY -
00:14:17.42\00:14:21.62
IF YOU GO 483
YEARS FROM 457 B.C.
00:14:21.62\00:14:26.39
IT COMES TO THE
BAPTISM OF JESUS IN 27 A.D.
00:14:26.39\00:14:30.63
MATTHEW 1:22 AND 23, "NOW THIS
WAS ALL DONE, THAT IT MIGHT BE
00:14:30.63\00:14:34.84
FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN OF
THE LORD BY THE PROPHET, SAYING,
00:14:34.84\00:14:40.91
'BEHOLD, A VIRGIN WILL BE WITH
CHILD, AND SHALL BRING FORTH A
00:14:40.91\00:14:44.65
SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL
HIS NAME EMMANUEL, WHICH BEING
00:14:44.65\00:14:48.32
INTERPRETED IS, GOD WITH US.'"
IT SAYS SPECIFICALLY IN DANIEL
00:14:48.32\00:14:52.12
9:24, PART OF THE PURPOSE WOULD
BE TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.
00:14:52.12\00:14:57.09
WAS JESUS ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED?
00:14:57.09\00:15:02.10
DID THE SPIRIT
COME DOWN LIKE A DOVE?
00:15:02.10\00:15:04.37
WHAT MARKED THE
BEGINNING OF JESUS' MINISTRY?
00:15:04.37\00:15:07.47
HIS BAPTISM. YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST
00:15:07.47\00:15:10.91
CLEARLY ESTABLISHED DATES IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT IS LUKE CHAPTER 3,
00:15:10.91\00:15:15.94
VERSE 1. YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLE?
00:15:15.94\00:15:17.58
AND THE REASON IS THEY GIVE
SO MANY DATES - HE GIVES SO MANY
00:15:17.58\00:15:22.35
CORRESPONDING LEADERS DURING
THIS TIME, THERE'S VERY LITTLE
00:15:22.35\00:15:25.72
DOUBT ABOUT WHEN
IT WAS, HISTORICALLY.
00:15:25.72\00:15:28.09
SOME OF THESE ANCIENT DATES IT'S
HARD TO PIN DOWN, BUT LET ME
00:15:28.09\00:15:30.43
TELL YOU WHAT
DR. LUKE DID FOR US.
00:15:30.43\00:15:32.39
LUKE 3, VERSE 1, "NOW IN THE
FIFTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF
00:15:32.39\00:15:37.00
TIBERIUS CAESAR," - THAT'S
NOT THAT HARD TO ESTABLISH -
00:15:37.00\00:15:39.90
"PONTIUS PILATE BEING GOVERNOR
OF JUDEA," - THAT'S ONE MORE
00:15:39.90\00:15:44.27
BENCHMARK - "AND HEROD BEING
TETRARCH OF GALILEE, HIS BROTHER
00:15:44.27\00:15:48.11
PHILIP TETRARCH OF ITURAEA AND
OF THE REGION OF TRACHONITIS,
00:15:48.11\00:15:51.78
AND LYSANIAS THE TETRARCH
OF ABILENE, ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS
00:15:51.78\00:15:57.39
BEING THE HIGH PRIESTS, THE
WORD OF GOD CAME UNTO JOHN..."
00:15:57.39\00:16:00.26
LOOK AT ALL OF
THOSE DIFFERENT LEADERS.
00:16:00.26\00:16:02.76
YOU CAN TRIANGULATE ALL OF
THOSE DIFFERENT POINTS - WELL,
00:16:02.76\00:16:06.56
TRIANGULATE WOULD BE ONLY THREE
- HE GIVES ABOUT FIVE DIFFERENT
00:16:06.56\00:16:08.93
LEADERS. THERE'S ONLY ONE DATE
IN HISTORY WHEN WE KNOW THAT
00:16:08.93\00:16:11.50
THEY ALL CORRESPONDED: 27 A.D.
IT IS SUCH A WELL-ESTABLISHED
00:16:11.50\00:16:17.11
DATE THIS IS THE YEAR
THAT JESUS WAS BAPTIZED.
00:16:17.11\00:16:20.81
THAT IS EXACTLY THE RIGHT
TIME PERIOD AFTER 457 B.C.
00:16:20.81\00:16:26.68
MARK 1:15 - WHEN JESUS BEGAN
PREACHING YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID?
00:16:26.68\00:16:31.22
"THE TIME IS FULFILLED" - RIGHT
AFTER HIS BAPTISM JESUS SAID,
00:16:31.22\00:16:34.49
"THE TIME IS FULFILLED" -
WHAT TIME IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:16:34.49\00:16:37.89
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
TIME FROM DANIEL'S PROPHECY.
00:16:37.89\00:16:40.90
HE WAS ANOINTED.
HE BEGAN TO PREACH.
00:16:40.90\00:16:43.53
THIS IS WHAT THEY
WERE ALL WAITING FOR.
00:16:43.53\00:16:45.00
EVERY JEW READ THE PROPHECY
OF DANIEL 9, WONDERING WHEN THE
00:16:45.00\00:16:47.87
MESSIAH WOULD COME.
WHICH ALSO MEANS, IF THEY HAD
00:16:47.87\00:16:51.54
BEEN STUDYING THEIR BIBLES BACK
THEN THE WAY THEY SHOULD HAVE,
00:16:51.54\00:16:54.74
THEY COULD HAVE KNOWN THE
TIME OF HIS BIRTH BECAUSE A HIGH
00:16:54.74\00:16:57.81
PRIEST COULD NOT REIGN UNTIL
HE WAS THIRTY YEARS OF AGE.
00:16:57.81\00:17:02.35
A PRIEST COULDN'T
SERVE UNTIL HE WAS THIRTY.
00:17:02.35\00:17:04.35
JOSEPH BEGAN TO RULE AT THIRTY.
DAVID BEGAN TO RULE AT THIRTY.
00:17:04.35\00:17:07.92
PRIESTS BEGAN TO RULE AT THIRTY.
THEY COULD HAVE GUESSED THE
00:17:07.92\00:17:10.59
MESSIAH WOULD BEGIN HIS MINISTRY
AT HIS THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY AND
00:17:10.59\00:17:13.63
THAT'S WHEN JESUS WAS
BAPTIZED. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:17:13.63\00:17:15.90
IT SAYS, 'AS JESUS BEGAN TO BE
THIRTY YEARS OF AGE' - ALSO IN
00:17:15.90\00:17:19.10
LUKE. ALL THEY
HAD TO DO WAS COUNT
00:17:19.10\00:17:21.00
BACK THIRTY YEARS FROM THE
ANOINTING POINT AND THEY COULD
00:17:21.00\00:17:23.27
HAVE GUESSED WHEN HE
WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN.
00:17:23.27\00:17:24.94
SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF CHARTS
HERE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT UP
00:17:24.94\00:17:28.21
JUST TO REVIEW
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.71
FIRST WE KNOW, FROM 457
YOU'VE GOT SIXTY-NINE WEEKS.
00:17:30.71\00:17:35.55
THAT WOULD GO 483 YEARS TO THE
POINT OF HIS BAPTISM, THAT WOULD
00:17:35.55\00:17:40.56
BE 27 A.D. WHAT WAS
TO TAKE PLACE NEXT IN
00:17:40.56\00:17:43.96
THIS PROPHECY? AND
YOU CAN READ THE ANSWER TO
00:17:43.96\00:17:46.90
THAT IS DANIEL
CHAPTER 9, VERSES 26 AND 27.
00:17:46.90\00:17:51.03
IT SAYS, "AND AFTER THREESCORE
AND TWO WEEKS SHALL MESSIAH BE"
00:17:51.03\00:17:55.37
- WHAT? >>CUT OFF.
00:17:55.37\00:17:57.71
>>"CUT OFF, BUT
NOT FOR HIMSELF."
00:17:57.71\00:18:00.74
AFTER THAT THE
MESSIAH WOULD BE CUT OFF.
00:18:00.74\00:18:03.81
YOU KNOW, THIS WAS SOMETHING
THAT A LOT OF THE RELIGIOUS
00:18:03.81\00:18:06.45
LEADERS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AND
THEY STRUGGLED WITH BECAUSE THEY
00:18:06.45\00:18:09.35
WANTED THE MESSIAH TO COME
AND FLEX HIS MUSCLES AND BE A
00:18:09.35\00:18:14.89
COMBINATION OF KING DAVID
AND SAMSON AND OVERTHROW THE
00:18:14.89\00:18:17.36
ROMANS AND MAKE
THEM A WORLD EMPIRE.
00:18:17.36\00:18:19.13
HAVING A MESSIAH COME THAT WOULD
DIE AS A LAMB DIDN'T FIT IN VERY
00:18:19.13\00:18:23.40
WELL WITH WHAT THEIR
HOPES AND DREAMS WERE.
00:18:23.40\00:18:25.63
THEN IT GOES ON AND IT
SAYS, "AND HE SHALL CONFIRM THE
00:18:25.63\00:18:29.10
COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK:
AND IN THE MIDST OF THAT WEEK HE
00:18:29.10\00:18:34.74
SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE
AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE."
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.85
THE MESSIAH IS ANOINTED
BUT JESUS DOESN'T PREACH SEVEN
00:18:38.85\00:18:41.58
YEARS, HE ONLY
PREACHES HALF OF THAT.
00:18:41.58\00:18:43.28
HE PREACHES THREE AND A HALF
YEARS IN PERSON AND THEN HE IS
00:18:43.28\00:18:46.99
CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT
LAST WEEK THAT REACHES TO 34
00:18:46.99\00:18:51.83
A.D. CHRIST DIES IN 31
A.D. HE SAYS, 'I WILL PREACH.
00:18:51.83\00:18:56.93
I'M GOING TO TRAIN
MY TWELVE APOSTLES.
00:18:56.93\00:18:59.30
I WILL PREACH' AND HE SAYS
- WHEN HE LEAVES AND GOES TO
00:18:59.30\00:19:02.30
HEAVEN HE TELLS THE APOSTLES,
'AS THE FATHER SENT ME, SO SEND
00:19:02.30\00:19:05.51
I YOU.' BUT, CATCH THIS, JESUS
DID NOT SAY 'GO TO THE WORLD
00:19:05.51\00:19:10.68
FIRST.' MATTER OF FACT,
HE SAID, 'DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
00:19:10.68\00:19:13.72
WAIT IN JERUSALEM UNTIL
YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:19:13.72\00:19:16.38
AND WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT YOU'LL BE MY WITNESSES.
00:19:16.38\00:19:19.92
FIRST JERUSALEM, THEN JUDEA'
- I'M IN ACTS CHAPTER 1 - 'THEN
00:19:19.92\00:19:25.23
SAMARIA AND THE UTTERMOST PARTS
OF THE EARTH.' WHEN CHRIST SENT
00:19:25.23\00:19:28.60
THEM OUT PREACHING AFTER HE
ROSE, HE SAID, 'GO NOT IN THE
00:19:28.60\00:19:31.00
WAY OF THE GENTILES, BUT GO
RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE
00:19:31.00\00:19:36.37
HOUSE OF ISRAEL.' HE
WANTED TO FINISH CONFIRMING
00:19:36.37\00:19:39.57
THE COVENANT TO
HIS OWN PEOPLE FIRST.
00:19:39.57\00:19:42.34
AND SO THE LORD SPECIFICALLY
KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ABRAHAM.
00:19:42.34\00:19:46.58
HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO CONFIRM
THE COVENANT TO YOUR PEOPLE FOR
00:19:46.58\00:19:48.95
A FULL SEVEN YEARS.' THREE AND A
HALF YEARS THROUGH THE MESSIAH,
00:19:48.95\00:19:52.49
HE WILL BE CUT OFF. IN
ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF
00:19:52.49\00:19:55.49
YEARS THROUGH THOSE WHO
HEARD HIM - THE APOSTLES.
00:19:55.49\00:19:58.93
YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM PART OF
THIS CHART HERE, YOU'VE GOT THE
00:19:58.93\00:20:00.96
FIRST SIXTY-NINE
WEEKS CHRIST IS BAPTIZED.
00:20:00.96\00:20:03.73
THREE AND A HALF
YEARS HE PREACHES IN PERSON.
00:20:03.73\00:20:07.44
THREE AND A HALF YEARS HE
PREACHES THROUGH THE APOSTLES.
00:20:07.44\00:20:10.91
AT THE END OF THAT, IN
34 A.D., SOMETHING HAPPENS.
00:20:10.91\00:20:14.34
ALRIGHT, GO TO
YOUR BIBLES REAL QUICK.
00:20:14.34\00:20:16.01
TURN TO ACTS CHAPTER 7. IN
ACTS CHAPTER 7 STEPHEN IS THE
00:20:16.01\00:20:23.42
FIRST MARTYR OF
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:20:23.42\00:20:26.62
AFTER HE WAS FALSELY TRIED BY
THE SAME PEOPLE WHO TRIED JESUS,
00:20:26.62\00:20:31.39
HE TOLD THEM THE WONDERFUL
GOSPEL THAT PETER HAD PREACHED
00:20:31.39\00:20:36.46
AT PENTECOST THREE AND A HALF
YEARS EARLIER, BUT INSTEAD OF
00:20:36.46\00:20:41.07
REPENTING AND SAYING,
'WHAT MUST WE DO TO BE SAVED?'
00:20:41.07\00:20:43.24
THE SUPREME COURT, THE LEADERS,
THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
00:20:43.24\00:20:46.07
NATION PLUGGED THEIR
EARS. THEY GNASHED THEIR TEETH.
00:20:46.07\00:20:50.21
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
THEY CRIED OUT - VERSE 57 - ACTS
00:20:50.21\00:20:54.65
7:57 - "THEN THEY CRIED OUT WITH
A LOUD VOICE, AND STOPPED THEIR
00:20:54.65\00:20:58.25
EARS, AND RAN UPON HIM WITH ONE
ACCORD, AND CAST HIM OUT OF THE
00:20:58.25\00:21:00.82
CITY, AND STONED HIM: AND
THE WITNESSES LAID DOWN THEIR
00:21:00.82\00:21:04.99
CLOTHES AT A YOUNG MAN'S
FEET, WHOSE NAME WAS SAUL."
00:21:04.99\00:21:08.40
WHOSE NAME WAS
LATER CHANGED TO: >>PAUL.
00:21:08.40\00:21:10.77
>>WOW, ISN'T THIS A PIVOTAL
POINT IN HISTORY? 34 A.D.
00:21:10.77\00:21:14.80
THE NATION OFFICIALLY PLUGS
THEIR EARS - SAYS WE DON'T WANT
00:21:14.80\00:21:18.41
TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS ANYMORE.
THEY KILL HIS REPRESENTATIVE THE
00:21:18.41\00:21:21.81
SAME WAY THEY KILLED JESUS -
FALSELY TRIED, TAKEN OUT OF THE
00:21:21.81\00:21:24.71
CITY BY A MOB, EXECUTED, CLOTHES
ARE LAID DOWN - THE CLOTHES OF
00:21:24.71\00:21:30.02
CHRIST WERE TAKEN AWAY. AND
IT SAYS, IF YOU READ CHAPTER
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.29
8, VERSE 1, "AND SAUL WAS
CONSENTING UNTO HIS DEATH.
00:21:33.29\00:21:38.33
AND AT THAT TIME THERE WAS A
GREAT PERSECUTION AGAINST THE
00:21:38.33\00:21:41.33
CHURCH WHICH WAS AT JERUSALEM;
AND THEY WERE ALL SCATTERED
00:21:41.33\00:21:45.13
ABROAD THROUGHOUT THE REGIONS
OF JUDEA AND SAMARIA, EXCEPT THE
00:21:45.13\00:21:47.57
APOSTLES." THEY WENT
EVERYWHERE PREACHING.
00:21:47.57\00:21:49.34
THERE'S A GREAT PERSECUTION
AND THAT JUST TOTALLY SEALS WHAT
00:21:49.34\00:21:54.41
HAPPENED HERE IN
THAT TIME PERIOD.
00:21:54.41\00:21:57.65
ACCORDING TO THE ANGEL WHO SPOKE
WITH DANIEL, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
00:21:57.65\00:22:00.68
AT THE END OF THE
2,300-YEAR PERIOD OF TIME?
00:22:00.68\00:22:04.59
ANSWER: IT SAYS IN DANIEL 8:14,
"AND HE SAID UNTO ME, 'UNTO TWO
00:22:04.59\00:22:09.16
THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED DAYS;
THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE
00:22:09.16\00:22:14.10
CLEANSED." NOW GO - GO BACK
TO YOUR BIBLES FOR A SECOND.
00:22:14.10\00:22:17.70
IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 8
AND IF WE READ DOWN HERE - VERSE
00:22:17.70\00:22:23.27
12 - "BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION,
AN ARMY WAS GIVEN OVER TO THE
00:22:23.27\00:22:28.01
HORN TO OPPOSE THE DAILY
SACRIFICES; AND HE CAST TRUTH
00:22:28.01\00:22:31.55
DOWN TO THE GROUND. HE
DID ALL THIS AND PROSPERED."
00:22:31.55\00:22:37.62
SO WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THE TRUTH
OF GOD AND THE TRUTH OF THE
00:22:37.62\00:22:42.52
BIBLE AND THE TRUTH OF
JESUS, DURING THIS TIME,
00:22:42.52\00:22:44.76
BECOMES COMPROMISED
AND YET IT PROSPERS.
00:22:44.76\00:22:48.16
WELL, I'M GOING TO GIVE
YOU A LITTLE QUICK HISTORY.
00:22:48.16\00:22:50.93
I WON'T DIVERGE ON THIS,
BUT I THINK MOST OF US KNOW THAT
00:22:50.93\00:22:56.57
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME
YOU KNOW, ABOUT THREE OR FOUR
00:22:56.57\00:22:59.81
HUNDRED YEARS AFTER CHRIST,
ORIGINALLY CHRISTIANS WERE
00:22:59.81\00:23:03.41
PERSECUTED IN ROME. THEY
FED THEM TO THE LIONS, RIGHT?
00:23:03.41\00:23:06.68
WHAT WAS ONCE CONSIDERED
RELIGIO-ILLICITA - FORBIDDEN
00:23:06.68\00:23:10.15
RELIGION - WAS PERSECUTED,
OUTLAWED - THEY WERE KILLED.
00:23:10.15\00:23:13.19
THEY BUILT CATACOMBS.
00:23:13.19\00:23:14.26
THEY WENT UNDERGROUND -
IT SUDDENLY BECAME THE STATE
00:23:14.26\00:23:16.76
RELIGION AND IT ALMOST OVERNIGHT
BECAME FASHIONABLE, WITH THE
00:23:16.76\00:23:20.70
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE,
TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
00:23:20.70\00:23:23.40
BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS A LOT OF
PEOPLE STARTED COMING INTO THE
00:23:23.40\00:23:26.57
CHURCH FROM THE DIFFERENT
GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIONS THAT
00:23:26.57\00:23:29.24
WEREN'T TOTALLY CONVERTED -
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE TEACHINGS
00:23:29.24\00:23:32.31
OF JESUS - AND THEY TRIED TO
BRING SOME OF THEIR PAGAN IDEAS
00:23:32.31\00:23:34.78
WITH THEM. WE
STUDIED THE OTHER NIGHT ABOUT
00:23:34.78\00:23:38.01
THE TRUTH ABOUT HELL - THAT
PEOPLE DO NOT GO RIGHT AT DEATH
00:23:38.01\00:23:43.62
TO - BEFORE JUDGMENT OR
RESURRECTION - A PLACE OF
00:23:43.62\00:23:45.65
BURNING WHERE THEY
BURN THROUGH ALL ETERNITY.
00:23:45.65\00:23:48.09
DID WE - WE LEARNED THERE
IS A LAKE OF FIRE, THERE IS A
00:23:48.09\00:23:50.16
PUNISHMENT, BUT THERE'S
MISUNDERSTANDING THAT CAME IN
00:23:50.16\00:23:52.53
FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY, RIGHT?
CAST THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND IN
00:23:52.53\00:23:56.56
PRACTICE. THE
IDEA OF PURGATORY, THIS
00:23:56.56\00:23:58.87
HALFWAY BURNING PLACE, WE
FOUND OUT THAT THAT'S BEEN NOW
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.67
RENOUNCED. IT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
00:24:01.67\00:24:03.74
THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE BIBLE ABOUT THAT.
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.17
THE IDEA THAT THE DEAD GO
IMMEDIATELY TO HEAVEN AS SOON AS
00:24:05.17\00:24:08.44
THEY DIE AND THEN THEY COME BACK
FOR THEIR BODIES OR THEY'RE IN
00:24:08.44\00:24:11.71
ABRAHAM'S BOSOM WAITING.
WE FOUND OUT THAT'S NOT IN THE
00:24:11.71\00:24:14.88
BIBLE AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS
- THE TRUTH WAS CAST TO THE
00:24:14.88\00:24:18.82
GROUND. THE IDEA
THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO
00:24:18.82\00:24:21.29
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ANYMORE BECAUSE ONCE YOU BELIEVE
00:24:21.29\00:24:24.06
IN JESUS YOU CAN SOMEHOW NOW
IGNORE HIS LAW, THAT'S ANOTHER
00:24:24.06\00:24:27.13
ONE OF THE TRUTHS THAT
WAS CAST TO THE GROUND.
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.43
ALL KINDS OF THINGS BEGAN TO
GET CORRUPTED DURING THIS TIME.
00:24:30.43\00:24:33.64
SO, WHEN WOULD THERE BE A
CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY?
00:24:33.64\00:24:38.37
ALRIGHT, SO NOW, STARTING AT
457, YOU GO 2,300 AND YOU KNOW
00:24:38.37\00:24:44.48
WHEN THAT COMES? TWO
THOUSAND - THAT'S THE
00:24:44.48\00:24:47.52
LONGEST TIME
PERIOD IN THE BIBLE.
00:24:47.52\00:24:49.28
THAT REACHES TO 1844.
I'LL PUT A CHART UP HERE.
00:24:49.28\00:24:53.76
THE MOVEMENT THAT IS BRINGING
YOU THIS SERIES OF STUDIES,
00:24:53.76\00:24:58.13
REALLY FOUND ITS BEGINNING BACK
THEN BECAUSE IN 1844 CHRISTIANS
00:24:58.13\00:25:03.53
ALL OVER THE WORLD
THOUGHT THAT JESUS WAS COMING.
00:25:03.53\00:25:06.13
THEY CALLED IT THE
GREAT ADVENT MOVEMENT .
00:25:06.13\00:25:08.30
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS BECAUSE
00:25:08.30\00:25:10.77
THERE WERE NO SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS BACK THEN.
00:25:10.77\00:25:12.34
THE WORD ADVENT MEANS 'COMING'.
THEY THOUGHT JESUS WAS COMING.
00:25:12.34\00:25:16.34
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD
THIS BEFORE? THEY CALLED IT THE
00:25:16.34\00:25:18.35
MILLERITE MOVEMENT.
THEY WERE BAPTISTS AND
00:25:18.35\00:25:20.18
METHODISTS AND PRESBYTERIANS
AND CONGREGATIONALISTS AND WHEN
00:25:20.18\00:25:22.88
JESUS DIDN'T COME THEY SAID,
'LOOK, IT'S NOT GOD'S WILL WE
00:25:22.88\00:25:27.56
HAVE ALL THESE
DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS.
00:25:27.56\00:25:29.16
WE'VE GOT TO PUT ASIDE OUR
DIFFERENCES AND STUDY THE BIBLE
00:25:29.16\00:25:32.09
TOGETHER AND FIND OUT
'WHERE HAVE WE DRIFTED?'
00:25:32.09\00:25:35.03
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LORD
BEGAN A MOVEMENT THAT BROUGHT
00:25:35.03\00:25:38.10
THEM ALL BACK TO THE WORD OF
GOD AND THAT TRANSLATED INTO A
00:25:38.10\00:25:43.57
MOVEMENT THAT IS NOW 17 MILLION
STRONG AND GOING AROUND THE
00:25:43.57\00:25:46.47
WORLD AND THEY'RE HELPING
SPONSOR THESE MEETINGS THAT
00:25:46.47\00:25:49.31
YOU'RE RECEIVING RIGHT
NOW. PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THAT
00:25:49.31\00:25:52.61
CHRISTIANS, IN THE LAST DAYS,
NEED TO RETURN TO THE BIBLE.
00:25:52.61\00:25:54.82
REVELATION TELLS US
THERE ARE SEVEN CHURCHES.
00:25:54.82\00:25:57.99
THE LAST AGE OF THE
CHURCH IS CALLED WHAT?
00:25:57.99\00:26:00.79
>>LAODICEA. >>LAODICEA.
00:26:00.79\00:26:02.42
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
MEANS? A JUDGING OF THE PEOPLE.
00:26:02.42\00:26:04.59
AND WE ENTERED THE LAST PHASE
OF THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN
00:26:04.59\00:26:10.03
1844. (MUSIC)
00:26:10.03\00:26:15.74
>>YOU KNOW, WE ALL BELIEVE THAT
WE'RE SAVED UNDER THE PROMISE OF
00:26:15.74\00:26:18.41
THE NEW COVENANT.
00:26:18.41\00:26:19.67
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD ONLY
MAKES THAT COVENANT WITH THE
00:26:19.67\00:26:22.81
HOUSE OF ISRAEL? SO
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN - ONLY
00:26:22.81\00:26:25.65
JEWS CAN BE SAVED? OR
IS THERE A WAY THAT EVERY
00:26:25.65\00:26:28.48
PERSON CAN BECOME A SPIRITUAL
JEW AND ENJOY THE PROMISES THAT
00:26:28.48\00:26:32.42
GOD MADE TO
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB.
00:26:32.42\00:26:34.72
