>>DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
00:01:40.60\00:01:47.70
THERE WAS THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL
THAT REALLY SURPRISED EVERYBODY.
00:01:47.74\00:01:51.61
HIS NAME WAS JOSHUA
LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN.
00:01:51.64\00:01:55.01
HE WAS ACTUALLY FROM MAINE.
HE WAS A SCHOOLTEACHER - ENGLISH
00:01:55.04\00:01:58.18
MAJOR - ACTUALLY MAJORED IN
RHETORIC AND DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
00:01:58.21\00:02:01.75
- SEEMED LIKE
SOMETHING OF A BOOKWORM.
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.09
BUT HE HAD VERY STRONG
CONVICTIONS ABOUT SLAVERY.
00:02:04.12\00:02:08.16
AND WHEN, FINALLY, THE CIVIL
WAR BROKE OUT, EVEN THOUGH HIS
00:02:08.19\00:02:12.36
FAMILY WAS VERY RELIGIOUS
AND HE, MAYBE, WAS A PACIFIST BY
00:02:12.39\00:02:15.56
NATURE, HE THOUGHT THE CAUSE
DESERVES THAT WE LAY OUR LIVES
00:02:15.60\00:02:19.33
DOWN FOR THIS, AND
HE JOINED THE FORCES.
00:02:19.37\00:02:22.74
BECAUSE OF HIS EDUCATION
THEY QUICKLY PROMOTED HIM.
00:02:22.77\00:02:25.61
AND THE NEXT THING HE KNEW
HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE OF
00:02:25.64\00:02:28.78
GETTYSBURG. SOME
OF THE SOLDIERS UNDER
00:02:28.81\00:02:31.31
HIM WERE A LITTLE
WORRIED. THEY SAID 'THIS
00:02:31.35\00:02:33.28
GUY'S ALWAYS READING.
HE'S A BOOKWORM HE'S A LAMB.'
00:02:33.31\00:02:36.65
AND HE SEEMED SO POLITE AND
HE SEEMED SO ARTICULATE THEY
00:02:36.69\00:02:39.02
THOUGHT 'WHAT'S HE GOING
TO DO ON THE BATTLEFIELD?'
00:02:39.05\00:02:41.72
WELL IT TURNED OUT, IN ONE
OF THE BIGGEST AND THE BLOODIEST
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.46
BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR
- THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG -
00:02:44.49\00:02:48.10
50 THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED IN
ONE DAY. IT'S BEEN THE BLOODIEST
00:02:48.13\00:02:53.50
BATTLE IN AMERICAN
HISTORY - IN ANY OF OUR WARS.
00:02:53.54\00:02:56.97
THE SOUTH WAS TRYING TO TAKE
THIS HILL AND THEY WERE TRYING
00:02:57.01\00:03:01.21
TO FLANK AROUND THE TROOPS OF
THE NORTH AND CHAMBERLAIN KNEW
00:03:01.24\00:03:05.98
THAT HE NEEDED TO HOLD THAT HILL
AT ALL COSTS AND THEY, FOR THREE
00:03:06.01\00:03:10.49
DAYS, THE BATTLE RAGED AND
THE SOUTH CONTINUED TO THROW
00:03:10.52\00:03:13.46
SOLDIERS AT THAT HILL TRYING
TO GET BEHIND THE TROOPS AND TO
00:03:13.49\00:03:18.26
DEFEAT THEM. AND
THEY FOUGHT THE GROUP FROM
00:03:18.29\00:03:22.16
MAINE - THAT HE WAS OVER
- THEY FOUGHT UNTIL THEY RAN
00:03:22.20\00:03:24.10
OUT OF AMMUNITION. AND
FINALLY, HE TOLD THEM, 'FIX
00:03:24.13\00:03:26.87
YOUR BAYONETS AND CHARGE.' WHEN
THEY WERE COMING UP THE HILL
00:03:26.90\00:03:30.94
AFTER THEM HE TOLD HIS
MEN TO CHARGE BACK AT THEM
00:03:30.97\00:03:34.01
WITH JUST BAYONETS.
AND IT SO TERRIFIED THE
00:03:34.04\00:03:37.61
SOUTHERNERS THAT
THEY TURNED AND THEY RAN.
00:03:37.65\00:03:41.15
THEY DIDN'T REALIZE
THEY HAD RUN OUT OF BULLETS.
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.75
THEY LATER CALLED HIM - INSTEAD
OF THE LAMB - THEY CALLED HIM
00:03:43.79\00:03:46.29
THE LION OF LITTLE ROUND TOP
- LITTLE ROUND TOP WAS THE HILL
00:03:46.32\00:03:49.76
THAT THEY WERE DEFENDING.
WELL, YOU KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE
00:03:49.79\00:03:52.79
COMES AGAIN, HE'S COMING LIKE
A LION. WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST
00:03:52.83\00:03:55.83
TIME HE CAME LIKE A LAMB.
BUT HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF
00:03:55.86\00:04:00.34
THE ENTIRE BIBLE. AND
OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT,
00:04:00.37\00:04:04.17
DEALING WITH THE HERO OF
REVELATION, IS PART OF OUR
00:04:04.21\00:04:07.51
PROPHECY ENCOUNTERS SERIES. I'VE
GOT A LOT OF MATERIAL TO COVER.
00:04:07.54\00:04:11.45
YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A
PEN OR PENCIL HANDY BECAUSE
00:04:11.48\00:04:13.88
WE'RE GOING TO
GIVE YOU SOME NOTES.
00:04:13.92\00:04:15.35
WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING
AT PROPHECIES IN REVELATION, IN
00:04:15.38\00:04:18.89
DANIEL, AND ALL THROUGH THE
BIBLE, THAT SHOW US WHO JESUS
00:04:18.92\00:04:24.06
IS, SO WE CAN KNOW THAT
HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS.
00:04:24.09\00:04:28.66
IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL
CHAPTER 9. DANIEL IS PRAYING.
00:04:28.70\00:04:32.43
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE
CAPTIVES IN BABYLON.
00:04:32.47\00:04:35.87
HE'S SAYING 'WE'VE BEEN HERE
70 YEARS.' DANIEL IS READING THE
00:04:35.90\00:04:39.91
PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH THAT SAID
AFTER 70 YEARS THEY WOULD GO
00:04:39.94\00:04:42.88
HOME. SO EVEN DANIEL READ
THE PROPHETS. AND HE'S PRAYING
00:04:42.91\00:04:45.71
SAYING, 'LORD, WE'VE
BEEN HERE 70 YEARS. HOW LONG?
00:04:45.75\00:04:47.95
HOW LONG WILL YOU
TOLERATE YOUR PEOPLE?
00:04:47.98\00:04:49.88
HOW LONG TILL THE
SAVIOR THE MESSIAH COMES?
00:04:49.92\00:04:52.25
WHILE DANIEL'S PRAYING, THE
ANGEL GABRIEL COMES - SAME ONE
00:04:52.29\00:04:55.86
THAT APPEARS TO MARY - AND
HE HASN'T AGED A BIT WHEN HE
00:04:55.89\00:04:58.69
APPEARS TO MARY 500 YEARS LATER.
00:04:58.73\00:05:01.40
AND HE GIVES THIS PROPHECY "70
WEEKS ARE DETERMINED FOR YOUR
00:05:01.43\00:05:07.37
PEOPLE" - I'M IN DANIEL 9:24
- "FOR THEIR HOLY CITY TO FINISH
00:05:07.40\00:05:13.21
TRANSGRESSION TO MAKE AN END OF
SINS TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR
00:05:13.24\00:05:18.41
INIQUITY TO BRING IN EVERLASTING
RIGHTEOUSNESS TO SEAL UP THE
00:05:18.45\00:05:22.45
VISION AND THE PROPHECY" -
TALKING ABOUT THE VISIONS ABOUT
00:05:22.48\00:05:26.22
THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH
AND ANOINT THE MOST HOLY." VERY
00:05:26.25\00:05:30.66
CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PROPHECY
THAT TALKED ABOUT THE MOST HOLY
00:05:30.69\00:05:34.20
BEING ANOINTED - 70
WEEKS. SO WHAT DOES THE 70 WEEKS
00:05:34.20\00:05:39.93
REPRESENT? NOW, IN THE
BIBLE, A DAY EQUALS A YEAR.
00:05:39.97\00:05:45.81
FIRST LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE STARTING POINT HERE.
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.04
IT TELLS US THAT IT SAYS
'FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE
00:05:48.08\00:05:50.35
COMMANDMENT' - IF YOU READ
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9, VERSE 25
00:05:50.38\00:05:53.28
WHAT'S THE STARTING
POINT FOR THIS PROPHECY?
00:05:53.31\00:05:55.02
"FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE
COMMANDMENT TO RESTORE AND BUILD
00:05:55.05\00:05:59.09
JERUSALEM" - JERUSALEM HAD BEEN
DESTROYED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
00:05:59.12\00:06:02.66
THE PERSIAN KING,
ARTAXERXES, ISSUED A DECREE.
00:06:02.69\00:06:06.86
YOU CAN FIND THAT IN
YOUR BIBLE IN EZRA CHAPTER 7.
00:06:06.90\00:06:10.27
THAT THEY COULD GO BACK AND
HE ALSO HELPED SUBSIDIZE THEIR
00:06:10.30\00:06:13.30
MISSION TO REBUILD THE
CITY, TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE.
00:06:13.34\00:06:17.27
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WOULD BE
THE STARTING POINT OF THIS 70-
00:06:17.31\00:06:19.81
WEEK PROPHECY. "FROM
THE GOING FORTH OF THE
00:06:19.84\00:06:23.31
COMMAND TO RESTORE AND
BUILD JERUSALEM UNTO MESSIAH THE
00:06:23.35\00:06:26.21
PRINCE, THERE'LL BE SEVEN
WEEKS" - NOW HE BREAKS UP THAT
00:06:26.25\00:06:28.58
70 WEEKS INTO THREE PARTS:
THERE'LL BE SEVEN WEEKS, AND
00:06:28.62\00:06:32.45
62 WEEKS, THEN YOU
HAVE YOUR FINAL WEEK. OKAY?
00:06:32.49\00:06:36.12
AND SO SEVEN WEEKS WAS THE
TIME IT TOOK THEM TO REBUILD THE
00:06:36.16\00:06:38.83
WALLS AND THE STREETS AND
TROUBLOUS TIMES IN THE TEMPLE.
00:06:38.86\00:06:41.73
THEN THERE WERE SIXTY TWO MORE
WEEKS - THE MOST HOLY WOULD BE
00:06:41.76\00:06:45.47
ANOINTED - THEN DURING THAT
LAST WEEK HE WOULD CONFIRM THE
00:06:45.50\00:06:49.10
COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE, BUT IN
THE MIDST OF THAT LAST WEEK HE'D
00:06:49.14\00:06:52.71
MAKE THE SACRIFICES CEASE.
NOW I I'VE SAID IT - I'M GOING
00:06:52.74\00:06:55.71
TO SAY IT SEVERAL TIMES
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF
00:06:55.74\00:06:58.08
INFORMATION AND I WANT YOU
TO HAVE THIS CLEAR IN YOUR MIND.
00:06:58.11\00:07:01.32
FIRST OF ALL, WHEN YOU'RE
DEALING WITH A LARGE BIBLE TIME
00:07:01.35\00:07:04.35
PROPHECY LIKE THIS, THERE'S A
PRETTY SAFE PRINCIPLE THAT YOU
00:07:04.39\00:07:08.66
APPLY A DAY FOR A YEAR.
AND THERE'S THREE REFERENCES
00:07:08.69\00:07:12.43
THERE, YOU CAN SEE,
THAT SUPPORT THAT PRINCIPLE.
00:07:12.46\00:07:15.53
NOW I'M GOING TO PUT A CHART UP
ON THE SCREEN AND EXPLAIN THIS
00:07:15.56\00:07:18.40
TIME PROPHECY. YOU SEE
THE DECREE IS GIVEN 457 B.C.
00:07:18.43\00:07:23.37
ARTAXERXES YOU
CAN FIND IT IN EZRA 7.
00:07:23.41\00:07:25.41
IT'S A PRETTY WELL ACCEPTED
DATE IN ANCIENT HISTORY.
00:07:25.44\00:07:29.31
AND SO, 483 YEARS AFTER THE
COMMAND IS WHEN YOU WOULD EXPECT
00:07:29.34\00:07:34.68
TO SEE THE MESSIAH ANOINTED.
HE BEGINS HIS MINISTRY.
00:07:34.72\00:07:37.29
HE THEN CONFIRMS THE COVENANT
WITH GOD'S PEOPLE FOR THE LAST
00:07:37.32\00:07:40.42
SEVEN YEARS. IN THE
MIDST OF THAT LAST SEVEN
00:07:40.46\00:07:43.06
YEARS HE MAKES THE
SACRIFICE CEASE. STAY WITH ME.
00:07:43.09\00:07:47.20
ALRIGHT, JESUS
WAS BAPTIZED WHEN?
00:07:47.23\00:07:50.67
YOU CAN READ IN THE
GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 1:29.
00:07:50.70\00:07:52.80
HE CAME TO JOHN THE BAPTIST AND
IT SAYS JOHN SAW JESUS COMING TO
00:07:52.83\00:07:57.11
HIM AND SAID 'BEHOLD, THE LAMB
OF GOD THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN
00:07:57.14\00:08:01.04
OF THE WORLD.' YOU KNOW IF YOU
READ IN LUKE IT TELLS US THAT
00:08:01.08\00:08:03.98
THE YEAR THAT JOHN WAS PREACHING
WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED IT TALKS
00:08:04.01\00:08:07.05
ABOUT PONTIUS
PILATE BEING IN POWER.
00:08:07.08\00:08:09.45
YOU'VE GOT TIBERIUS
CAESAR YOU'VE GOT HEROD.
00:08:09.48\00:08:12.75
THERE IS ONLY ONE YEAR
IN HISTORY WHEN THESE THREE
00:08:12.79\00:08:15.56
CHARACTERS - THEIR REIGNS
OVERLAPPED AND IT WAS 27 A.D.
00:08:15.59\00:08:20.10
27 A.D. IS EXACTLY FOUR
HUNDRED EIGHTY THREE YEARS AFTER
00:08:20.13\00:08:24.97
KING ARTAXERXES' DECREE IN 457.
00:08:25.00\00:08:28.27
THAT'S WHEN THE
MESSIAH WAS BAPTIZED.
00:08:28.30\00:08:30.51
WHAT HAPPENED AT
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS?
00:08:30.54\00:08:32.44
YOU CAN READ IN ACTS CHAPTER 10,
VERSE 38 WHERE PETER SAID, "GOD
00:08:32.47\00:08:36.75
ANOINTED JESUS OF
NAZARETH WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:08:36.78\00:08:39.91
- HE WAS THE ANOINTED - THE
CHRIST - "AND WITH POWER, WHO
00:08:39.95\00:08:43.52
WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND
HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED
00:08:43.55\00:08:47.02
BY THE DEVIL, FOR
GOD WAS WITH HIM."
00:08:47.06\00:08:50.59
AND SO JESUS WAS ANOINTED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT EXACTLY 483 YEARS -
00:08:50.63\00:08:56.80
BUT NOW YOU'VE GOT ONE WEEK
LEFT STILL TO GET TO 490, RIGHT?
00:08:56.83\00:09:00.54
NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE
00:09:00.57\00:09:02.44
MINISTRY OF
JESUS. WE'RE PARKING THE
00:09:02.47\00:09:04.54
PROPHECY OF
DANIEL. SO YOU ALL WITH ME?
00:09:04.57\00:09:06.98
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO IT.
IT SAID THAT HE WOULD CONFIRM
00:09:07.01\00:09:10.01
THE COVENANT DURING
THIS WEEK. WHAT DID JESUS DO
00:09:10.05\00:09:12.98
DURING THAT TIME?
LET'S LOOK AT THE MINISTRY OF
00:09:13.01\00:09:15.95
CHRIST AND ARE THERE PROPHECIES
ABOUT THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST?
00:09:15.98\00:09:19.85
SO I'M PUTTING LAYERS IN
HERE. PROPHECIES IN PROPHECIES.
00:09:19.89\00:09:22.79
ISAIAH 61:1 - FIRST SERMON JESUS
PREACHED HE QUOTES FROM THIS IN
00:09:22.82\00:09:26.86
NAZARETH, HIS HOME CHURCH.
HE SAID, "THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
00:09:26.90\00:09:30.07
UPON ME BECAUSE THE LORD
HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE
00:09:30.10\00:09:34.54
GOOD NEWS TO THE
POOR." CHRIST IS THE ANOINTED.
00:09:34.57\00:09:37.77
HE'S TELLING PEOPLE 'I AM THE
ANOINTED.' - "HE HAS SENT ME TO
00:09:37.81\00:09:40.58
HEAL THE BROKEN
HEARTED" - DID JESUS DO THAT?
00:09:40.61\00:09:43.88
- "TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE
CAPTIVES" - PEOPLE CAPTIVE BY
00:09:43.91\00:09:47.75
THE DEVIL AND SIN - "AND THE
OPENING OF PRISON TO THOSE WHO
00:09:47.78\00:09:50.82
ARE BOUND." - HE
CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVE
00:09:50.85\00:09:52.89
FREE AND TO PROCLAIM
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND THE
00:09:52.92\00:09:56.73
GREAT DAY OF THE LORD.
AND PEOPLE THAT CAME TO HEAR
00:09:56.76\00:09:59.36
JESUS PREACH, YOU KNOW, SPIES
WERE SENT TO ARREST HIM AND THEY
00:09:59.39\00:10:02.76
CAME BACK AND - AND THE
LEADER SAID, 'WHERE IS HE?
00:10:02.80\00:10:05.50
WE TOLD YOU TO ARREST HIM.'
YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR ANSWER WAS?
00:10:05.53\00:10:07.60
'NEVER MAN SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN.'
AND I CAN TESTIFY TO YOU, THAT
00:10:07.64\00:10:13.94
WAS MY IMPRESSION BECAUSE I GREW
UP BELIEVING THAT JESUS WAS - IN
00:10:13.98\00:10:19.05
OUR HOME, MY MOM DIDN'T SAY
VERY NICE THINGS ABOUT JESUS.
00:10:19.08\00:10:23.15
CAME, LIKE I SAID, FROM A JEWISH
BACKGROUND, AND WE THOUGHT
00:10:23.18\00:10:26.05
CHRISTIANS WERE THE PROBLEM.
MY JEWISH RELATIVES, THEY'D SAY,
00:10:26.09\00:10:29.76
'OH YEAH, JESUS WAS
- HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
00:10:29.79\00:10:31.56
HE WAS A TEACHER.' AND I WOULD
ASK MY GRANDFATHER, I'D SAY,
00:10:31.59\00:10:34.20
'NOW YOU REALIZE THAT
HE SAID HE WAS THE MESSIAH.
00:10:34.20\00:10:36.97
DO YOU THINK HE TOLD THE
TRUTH?' THEY SAID 'OH YEAH,
00:10:37.00\00:10:41.14
HE WAS A GOOD
MAN. HE WAS A TEACHER.
00:10:41.17\00:10:42.44
HE'S A PROPHET.' WELL, HE
SAID HE WAS THE SON OF GOD.
00:10:42.47\00:10:45.91
HE SAID HE WAS THE ONLY ONE.
HE'S THE ONLY DOOR.' AND SO THEY
00:10:45.94\00:10:49.68
USED TO KIND OF
STUMBLE OVER THAT.
00:10:49.71\00:10:51.55
SO I WAS VERY ANTAGONISTIC ABOUT
JESUS, WHEN I FINALLY STARTED
00:10:51.58\00:10:54.42
READING THE BIBLE, SO I
COULD ARGUE WITH CHRISTIANS.
00:10:54.45\00:10:57.65
AND I'D READ WHERE IT SAYS,
'HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE
00:10:57.69\00:11:01.29
FIRST STONE.' I HAD HEARD
THAT EXPRESSION ALL MY LIFE.
00:11:01.32\00:11:03.56
I SAID, 'OH, JESUS SAID THAT.'
'TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.' OH,
00:11:03.59\00:11:08.90
JESUS SAID THAT. 'GO
THE SECOND MILE.' AND ALL OF
00:11:08.93\00:11:12.93
THESE THINGS I WAS READING
IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, I'M
00:11:12.97\00:11:14.94
GOING, 'I'VE BEEN HEARING
THESE THINGS ALL MY LIFE.
00:11:14.97\00:11:16.87
I HAD NO IDEA THAT JESUS
SAID THEM.' I SAID, 'WOW, HE WAS
00:11:16.91\00:11:20.04
REALLY SMART.' I MEAN, HE JUST
- HE'S THE MOST QUOTED PERSON IN
00:11:20.08\00:11:24.15
HISTORY. NOBODY EVER
SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN SPOKE.
00:11:24.18\00:11:28.48
NOW YOU LOOK AT THE PROPHECIES
AND THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE
00:11:28.52\00:11:31.19
CROSS. ARE THERE SOME OF
THOSE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT?
00:11:31.22\00:11:35.49
FOR ONE THING JUST THE WEEK
BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED - THEY
00:11:35.52\00:11:38.26
CALL IT THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY -
"REJOICE GREATLY O DAUGHTER" -
00:11:38.29\00:11:41.93
BY THE WAY, THIS IS ZECHARIAH
9:9 - "REJOICE GREATLY O
00:11:41.96\00:11:44.90
DAUGHTER OF ZION.
SHOUT DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM.
00:11:44.93\00:11:47.70
BEHOLD, YOUR
KING IS COMING TO YOU.
00:11:47.74\00:11:50.27
HE IS JUST AND HAVING SALVATION,
LOWLY AND RIDING ON A DONKEY, A
00:11:50.31\00:11:55.34
COLT THE FOAL OF A DONKEY."
AND THEN YOU GO TO THE NEW
00:11:55.38\00:11:57.95
TESTAMENT AND THEN YOU SEE
THE STORY WHERE JESUS RODE INTO
00:11:57.98\00:12:00.82
JERUSALEM THROUGH THE
GOLDEN GATE ON A DONKEY.
00:12:00.85\00:12:04.45
JUSTICE HAD BEEN FORETOLD
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICING.
00:12:04.49\00:12:07.46
BY THE WAY, A LITTLE AMAZING
FACT I'LL THROW IN, IF YOU GO TO
00:12:07.49\00:12:10.33
JERUSALEM TODAY YOU'LL SEE THIS
PICTURE OF WHAT THEY CALL THE
00:12:10.36\00:12:12.46
GOLDEN GATE. THERE'S
SOMETHING ODD ABOUT THAT.
00:12:12.49\00:12:15.46
IT'S ALL BRICKED UP.
THAT IS THE GATE THAT
00:12:15.50\00:12:17.97
JESUS RODE THROUGH. YOU
KNOW WHY IT'S BRICKED UP?
00:12:18.00\00:12:22.00
BECAUSE WHEN THE MUSLIMS TOOK
JERUSALEM THEY KNEW THE JEWISH
00:12:22.04\00:12:26.64
PROPHECIES SAID, IN ZECHARIAH,
'THE MESSIAH WOULD RIDE THROUGH
00:12:26.68\00:12:29.71
THIS GATE.' THEY WANTED TO
PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING.
00:12:29.74\00:12:32.48
SO I THINK IT WAS SULEIMAN
THE MAGNIFICENT, HE HAD IT ALL
00:12:32.51\00:12:34.92
BLOCKED OFF AND THEY PUT
A CEMETERY IN FRONT OF IT TO
00:12:34.95\00:12:38.55
DESECRATE THE GROUND TO PREVENT
THE JEWISH MESSIAH FROM COMING.
00:12:38.59\00:12:42.16
BUT THEY WERE
ABOUT 700 YEARS TOO LATE.
00:12:42.19\00:12:45.19
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
WE WILL BE BACK IN JUST A
00:12:45.23\00:12:47.50
MOMENT TO COMPLETE
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:12:47.56\00:12:50.20
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE
LIKE TO BE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF
00:12:50.23\00:12:53.27
A DARK OCEAN BY YOURSELF
FLOATING AROUND AND THEN
00:12:53.30\00:12:56.71
DISCOVER YOU'RE
SURROUNDED BY HUNGRY SHARKS?
00:12:56.74\00:12:59.37
YOU WOULD BE SO THANKFUL IF
A HELICOPTER CAME BY TO RESCUE
00:12:59.41\00:13:02.54

00:13:33.41\00:13:36.04
TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND
LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS
00:13:36.08\00:13:38.98
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
>>ARE THERE PROPHECIES
00:13:39.01\00:13:41.75
ABOUT THE BETRAYAL OF
JESUS? YES, QUITE A FEW.
00:13:41.78\00:13:45.42
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ, IN
PSALMS, A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE
00:13:45.45\00:13:48.59
JESUS WAS BORN, KING DAVID
WROTE, 'EVEN MY OWN FAMILIAR
00:13:48.62\00:13:52.49
FRIEND IN WHOM I TRUSTED, WHO
ATE MY BREAD, HE HAS LIFTED UP
00:13:52.53\00:13:56.77
HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.' AFTER THEY
ATE BREAD TOGETHER, JUDAS WENT
00:13:56.80\00:14:00.67
OUT AND HE BETRAYED HIM.
AND THEN, AGAIN, YOU READ IN
00:14:00.70\00:14:04.64
ZECHARIAH IT SAYS - AND THIS
IS 11, VERSE 12, "THEN I SAID TO
00:14:04.67\00:14:08.31
THEM, 'IF IT IS AGREEABLE
TO YOU, GIVE ME MY WAGES.
00:14:08.34\00:14:12.01
AND, IF NOT, REFRAIN.' SO
THEY WEIGHED OUT, FOR MY WAGES,
00:14:12.05\00:14:15.95
THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER."
HOW MUCH WAS JESUS SOLD FOR?
00:14:15.98\00:14:20.09
>>THIRTHY.
>>THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER,
00:14:20.12\00:14:22.32
EXACTLY. AND THEN
IT GOES ON TO SAY, "AND
00:14:22.36\00:14:25.16
THE LORD SAID TO ME, 'THROW
IT TO THE POTTER,' THAT PRINCELY
00:14:25.19\00:14:28.43
PRICE THAT THEY SET UPON ME.
SO THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.93
OF SILVER AND THEY THREW
THEM INTO THE HOUSE OF THE
00:14:31.97\00:14:33.80
LORD, TO THE POTTER." YOU
KNOW WHAT JUDAS DID WITH THE
00:14:33.84\00:14:36.54
MONEY WHEN HE WAS
OVERCOME WITH GUILT?
00:14:36.57\00:14:38.34
HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD, HE THREW THE SILVER DOWN.
00:14:38.37\00:14:41.14
THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH THE MONEY BECAUSE IT WAS
00:14:41.18\00:14:43.01
BLOOD MONEY. THEY
USED THAT TO BUY A POTTER'S
00:14:43.04\00:14:45.05
FIELD TO BURY STRANGERS
IN. WHAT PRECISE DETAILS WERE
00:14:45.08\00:14:49.85
FORETOLD HUNDREDS OF YEARS
EARLIER - THOUSAND YEARS EARLIER
00:14:49.88\00:14:53.79
- NO, THIS ONE HUNDREDS
OF YEARS EARLIER - REGARDING
00:14:53.82\00:14:56.99
THE BETRAYAL OF CHRIST. >>AMEN.
00:14:57.03\00:14:59.26
>>WHAT ABOUT THE MANNER OF
HIS DEATH? WAS THAT FORETOLD?
00:14:59.29\00:15:02.43
YOU REALIZE WHEN SOME OF THESE
PROPHECIES WERE WRITTEN THEY
00:15:02.46\00:15:05.40
DIDN'T PRACTICE CRUCIFIXION.
BUT YOU LOOK IN PSALM 22.
00:15:05.43\00:15:09.37
NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
FIRST WORDS ARE IN PSALM 22?
00:15:09.40\00:15:11.97
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
00:15:12.01\00:15:15.11
DOES THAT SOUND
FAMILIAR? THAT'S WHAT JESUS
00:15:15.14\00:15:17.35
UTTERED FROM THE CROSS.
PEOPLE THINK 'DID HE SAY THAT
00:15:17.38\00:15:19.45
BECAUSE HE WAS DISCOURAGED?'
NO JESUS SAID THAT BECAUSE LATER
00:15:19.48\00:15:23.55
IN THAT PSALM YOU FIND
THESE OTHER PREDICTIONS.
00:15:23.59\00:15:26.45
READ IN PSALM 22, VERSE 16, "FOR
DOGS HAVE SURROUNDED ME; THE
00:15:26.49\00:15:30.93
CONGREGATION OF THE WICKED
HAS ENCLOSED ME. THEY PIERCED MY
00:15:30.96\00:15:34.30
HANDS AND MY FEET." DESCRIBING
CRUCIFIXION. IT'S IN THAT SAME
00:15:34.36\00:15:39.03
PSALM THAT MESSIANIC PASSOVER
PSALM WHERE HE SAYS, 'MY GOD, MY
00:15:39.07\00:15:43.57
GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
CHRIST HAD NOT LOST COURAGE, HE
00:15:43.61\00:15:47.48
WAS DIRECTING THEM TO THE PSALM
THAT SHOWED THE VERY THING THAT
00:15:47.51\00:15:50.41
WAS HAPPENING THAT DAY
AS HE HUNG UPON THE CROSS.
00:15:50.45\00:15:53.05
IT SAYS, 'THEY DIVIDED MY
GARMENTS AMONG THEM AND THEY
00:15:53.08\00:15:55.78
CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHING.'
WHAT A PRECISE DETAIL.
00:15:55.82\00:15:59.69
AND THEN YOU READ, OF COURSE,
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THERE, MARK
00:15:59.72\00:16:02.66
15:24 AT THE FOOT OF THE
CROSS WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED HIM.
00:16:02.69\00:16:06.93
"THEY DIVIDED HIS GARMENTS
CASTING LOTS FOR THEM TO
00:16:06.96\00:16:09.86
DETERMINE WHAT
EVERY MAN SHOULD TAKE."
00:16:09.90\00:16:12.63
GAMBLING THERE AT
THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:16:12.67\00:16:16.37
BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS -
IT ALSO SAYS NONE OF HIS BONES
00:16:16.40\00:16:19.37
WOULD BE BROKEN IN THAT PROPHECY
IN PSALM 22 - IT SAYS, "WHEN
00:16:19.41\00:16:22.88
THEY CAME TO JESUS AFTER
BREAKING THE BONES OF THE THIEF
00:16:22.91\00:16:25.11
ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT
THEY SAW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD.
00:16:25.15\00:16:28.18
THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS."
00:16:28.22\00:16:29.88
NOTICE JOHN GOES ON - JOHN
QUOTES FROM THE PROPHECY, "BUT
00:16:29.92\00:16:33.02
ONE OF THE SOLDIERS PIERCED
HIS SIDE WITH A SPEAR AND
00:16:33.05\00:16:35.96
IMMEDIATELY BLOOD
AND WATER CAME OUT."
00:16:35.99\00:16:38.46
- TALKS ABOUT CHRIST
THE MESSIAH BEING PIERCED.
00:16:38.49\00:16:41.03
BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT BUT
THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS BONES -
00:16:41.06\00:16:44.17
IT SAYS, "FOR THESE THINGS WERE
DONE THAT THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD
00:16:44.20\00:16:46.63
BE FULFILLED. NOT ONE OF
HIS BONES WOULD BE BROKEN."
00:16:46.67\00:16:49.97
AND AGAIN ANOTHER SCRIPTURE
SAYS, 'THE LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY
00:16:50.01\00:16:52.34
HAD PIERCED.' QUOTING AGAIN THAT
SCRIPTURE - JESUS WAS PIERCED,
00:16:52.37\00:16:56.21
HIS BONES WERE NOT BROKEN, HE
WAS CRUCIFIED, THEY GAMBLED FOR
00:16:56.24\00:16:58.51
HIS CLOTHING. WAS HE THE ONE?
00:16:58.55\00:17:01.82
DO THE PROPHECIES
ALL TALK ABOUT JESUS?
00:17:01.85\00:17:04.32
NOW I TOLD YOU,
DON'T FORGET ABOUT DANIEL.
00:17:04.35\00:17:07.06
WE'RE GOING BACK
NOW TO DANIEL CHAPTER 9.
00:17:07.09\00:17:09.92
WE GOT ONE WEEK TO GO. AND
IT SAYS, "AFTER THE 62 WEEKS
00:17:09.96\00:17:14.56
MESSIAH WILL BE CUT
OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF."
00:17:14.56\00:17:18.73
WAS JESUS CUT OFF? >>YES.
00:17:18.77\00:17:20.87
>>AND WHEN A PERSON DIES OF OLD
AGE, THAT'S NOT BEING CUT OFF.
00:17:20.90\00:17:24.17
BUT WHEN THEY'RE 30 YEARS OLD
- 33 AND A HALF - HE DIED IN HIS
00:17:24.21\00:17:30.28
PRIME. HE WAS CUT OFF
FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING.
00:17:30.31\00:17:33.72
BUT NOT FOR
HIMSELF, FOR WHO? >>FOR US.
00:17:33.75\00:17:36.02
>>FOR ME. FOR YOU. HE
DIED FOR YOU AS THOUGH YOU
00:17:36.05\00:17:39.75
WERE THE ONLY ONE
WHO HAD EVER SINNED.
00:17:39.79\00:17:41.46
HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH.
AND THEN IT SAID, "HE WOULD
00:17:41.49\00:17:44.19
CONFIRM THE COVENANT
WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK."
00:17:44.23\00:17:46.63
SO THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS, FROM
HIS BAPTISM UNTIL SEVEN YEARS
00:17:46.66\00:17:52.27
LATER, HE IS CONFIRMING THE
COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
00:17:52.30\00:17:55.47
THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN
PERSON, THREE AND A HALF YEARS
00:17:55.50\00:18:00.24
THROUGH THE APOSTLES, UNTIL,
FINALLY, THE FIRST CHRISTIAN
00:18:00.28\00:18:04.48
MARTYR, WHICH IS STEPHEN.
HE IS TRIED BY THE JEWISH
00:18:04.51\00:18:07.98
SUPREME COURT FOR HIS
FAITH. THEY DO THE SAME THING
00:18:08.02\00:18:10.55
TO HIM THEY DID TO JESUS.
THEY BRING HIM OUT OF THE CITY.
00:18:10.59\00:18:13.12
HE'S FALSELY ACCUSED AND THEN HE
IS EXECUTED AND HE PRAYS FOR THE
00:18:13.15\00:18:17.89
FORGIVENESS OF THOSE WHO KILL
HIM - THE SAME THING JESUS DID.
00:18:17.93\00:18:20.86
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HE
CAUSES - HE MAKES THE OFFERING
00:18:20.90\00:18:24.33
AND THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.
THREE AND A HALF YEARS AFTER
00:18:24.37\00:18:27.50
JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, WHEN
HE DIES ON THE CROSS, WHAT
00:18:27.54\00:18:30.61
HAPPENED IN THE TEMPLE?
YOU READ IN MATTHEW 27, VERSE
00:18:30.64\00:18:33.94
51, "BEHOLD THE VEIL OF THE
TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP
00:18:33.98\00:18:38.21
TO BOTTOM; AND THE EARTH QUAKED
AND THE ROCKS WERE SPLIT."
00:18:38.25\00:18:41.78
AND THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE IS
TORN, SHOWING THAT THE PURPOSE
00:18:41.82\00:18:46.02
FOR THAT SANCTUARY WAS COMPLETE.
JESUS SAID, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE
00:18:46.05\00:18:51.76
MADE WITH HANDS AND IN THREE
DAYS I WILL MAKE ONE WITHOUT
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.76
HANDS.' HE SPOKE OF
HIS BODY - THE CHURCH.
00:18:53.80\00:18:56.46
TWO THINGS WERE TORN: THE TEMPLE
WAS TORN AND THE HIGH PRIEST
00:18:56.50\00:19:00.10
TORE HIS GARMENTS. WE
NOW HAVE A NEW PRIESTHOOD.
00:19:00.14\00:19:03.27
IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST
THEN YOU ARE PART OF THAT ROYAL
00:19:03.30\00:19:06.17
PRIESTHOOD. AMEN? AND
WE ALSO HAVE A NEW TEMPLE.
00:19:06.21\00:19:09.28
IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST
YOU ARE A LIVING STONE IN THAT
00:19:09.31\00:19:11.85
BUILDING. THAT'S
WHAT PAUL AND PETER SAY.
00:19:11.88\00:19:14.05
WE ARE THE HOUSEHOLD OF
GOD. CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING,
00:19:14.08\00:19:16.75
CHURCH IS THE
PEOPLE. NOW, GO BACK.
00:19:16.79\00:19:18.95
I WANT YOU TO
SEE THE CHART AGAIN.
00:19:18.99\00:19:20.89
AND YOU NOTICE HERE WE GOT FROM
THE DECREE UNTIL THE 69 WEEKS
00:19:20.92\00:19:26.66
ARE COMPLETE, YOU'VE
GOT 483 YEARS AND 69 WEEKS.
00:19:26.70\00:19:31.97
483 DAYS AND A DAY IS A
YEAR. CHRIST IS BAPTIZED 27 A.D.
00:19:32.00\00:19:37.57
HE CONFIRMS A COVENANT WITH
GOD'S PEOPLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK
00:19:37.61\00:19:40.38
BEFORE THE GOSPEL
GOES TO THE GENTILES.
00:19:40.41\00:19:42.78
THREE AND A
HALF YEARS IN PERSON.
00:19:42.81\00:19:45.31
THEN HE DIES AND HE
CAUSES THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE.
00:19:45.35\00:19:48.48
THEN HE DOES ANOTHER THREE AND
A HALF YEARS THROUGH THOSE THAT
00:19:48.52\00:19:51.19
HURT HIM. AND
YOU'LL FIND THIS IS IN
00:19:51.22\00:19:53.59
HEBREWS CHAPTER 2,
VERSE 3 WHERE IT SAYS THAT.
00:19:53.62\00:19:58.26
"HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE" - NOTICE
THIS - "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF
00:19:58.29\00:20:01.63
WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION
WHICH AT THE FIRST BEGAN TO BE
00:20:01.66\00:20:06.03
SPOKEN BY THE LORD" - 27
A.D. - FROM HIS BAPTISM BEGAN TO
00:20:06.07\00:20:09.80
PREACH FOR THREE AND A HALF
YEARS UNTIL HE WAS EXECUTED -
00:20:09.84\00:20:14.44
"AND WAS CONFIRMED TO US
BY THOSE THAT HEARD HIM."
00:20:14.48\00:20:17.98
FOR THREE AND A HALF
YEARS. DO YOU KNOW THE JEWS DID
00:20:18.01\00:20:19.78
NOT GO WHEN CHRIST
ROSE? THEY DID NOT GO
00:20:19.81\00:20:22.15
TO THE WORLD YET. HE
SAID, 'FIRST BEGIN IN
00:20:22.18\00:20:24.99
JERUSALEM AND
JUDEA.' HE SAYS 'DO NOT GO.
00:20:25.02\00:20:29.46
BUT FIRST TO THE LOST SHEEP
OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.' - THE
00:20:29.49\00:20:32.19
APOSTLES' MINISTRY FOR THE
FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS WAS
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.93
EXCLUSIVELY TO
THE JEWISH NATION.
00:20:34.96\00:20:37.57
AT PENTECOST, WHEN THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS POURED OUT, IT SAYS
00:20:37.60\00:20:40.04
THERE WERE DEVOUT JEWS DWELLING
IN JERUSALEM FROM EVERY NATION.
00:20:40.07\00:20:43.24
THEY PREACHED TO JEWS. IN
ACTS CHAPTER 3, ACTS CHAPTER
00:20:43.27\00:20:46.51
5, THEY'RE ALL
JEWS BEING BAPTIZED.
00:20:46.54\00:20:48.38
IT WASN'T UNTIL STEPHEN
WAS STONED - IT SAYS, 'A GREAT
00:20:48.41\00:20:51.21
PERSECUTION AROSE AND THE GOSPEL
WENT EVERYWHERE.' THEN PAUL IS
00:20:51.25\00:20:56.35
CONVERTED, FOLLOWING
THAT, IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
00:20:56.38\00:20:59.02
PETER THEN GOES TO CORNELIUS AND
STARTS TO PREACH TO THE GENTILES
00:20:59.05\00:21:03.22
WHO HE HAD BEEN CALLING
UNCLEAN. FINALLY THE GOSPEL
00:21:03.26\00:21:05.49
BEGAN TO GO TO EVERYONE.
THAT WAS EXACTLY 490 YEARS
00:21:05.53\00:21:10.33
AFTER, AS DANIEL
SAID, THAT PROPHECY.
00:21:10.37\00:21:14.20
YOU'VE GOT THE DECREE - 457, THE
BAPTISM OF JESUS MARKS THE LAST
00:21:14.24\00:21:18.27
WEEK OF THAT PROPHECY -
FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS HE
00:21:18.31\00:21:21.81
CONFIRMS THE COVENANT - HE THEN
CAUSES THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE BY
00:21:21.84\00:21:25.48
HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS.
THEN HE SAYS TO THE DISCIPLES,
00:21:25.51\00:21:28.15
'AS THE FATHER SENT ME, NOW YOU
GO CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH THE
00:21:28.18\00:21:31.59
LOST SHEEP FOR ANOTHER
THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:21:31.62\00:21:33.79
STEPHEN IS STONED. AND
HE SAYS, 'NOW THE GOSPEL
00:21:33.82\00:21:36.46
GOES TO THE GENTILES AND
EVERYBODY - WHOSOEVER WILL.
00:21:36.49\00:21:39.96
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD
SAID WOULD HAPPEN. THERE'S NO
00:21:40.00\00:21:43.03
QUESTION THAT JESUS WAS THE
MESSIAH THAT DANIEL FORETOLD.
00:21:43.06\00:21:46.23
AND I'VE EVEN GOT A QUOTE
HERE FROM JOSEPHUS, THE JEWISH
00:21:46.27\00:21:49.17
HISTORIAN, THAT TO ME
IT JUST BLOWS ME AWAY.
00:21:49.20\00:21:51.44
JOSEPHUS - FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS
- WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF THE
00:21:51.47\00:21:55.78
APOSTLES AND HE WROTE
THIS FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:21:55.81\00:22:01.12
"NOW THERE WAS ABOUT THIS TIME
A WISE MAN, IF IT BE LAWFUL TO
00:22:01.15\00:22:05.59
CALL HIM A MAN, FOR HE WAS A
DOER OF WONDERFUL WORKS AND A
00:22:05.62\00:22:10.29
TEACHER OF SUCH MEN AS RECEIVED
THE TRUTH WITH PLEASURE.
00:22:10.33\00:22:13.53
HE DREW OVER TO HIM BOTH
MANY OF THE JEWS AND MANY OF THE
00:22:13.56\00:22:16.56
GENTILES. HE WAS THE CHRIST."
- THIS IS COMING FROM A JEWISH
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.83
SCHOLAR WHO IS NOT
WRITING IN THE BIBLE.
00:22:19.87\00:22:23.51
IT SAYS AND WHEN - "AND WHEN
PILATE, AT THE SUGGESTION OF
00:22:23.54\00:22:27.01
PRINCIPAL PEOPLE AMONG US,
HAD CONDEMNED HIM TO THE CROSS,
00:22:27.04\00:22:31.38
THOSE THAT LOVED HIM AT THE
FIRST DID NOT FORSAKE HIM; FOR
00:22:31.41\00:22:35.08
HE APPEARED TO THEM ALIVE
AGAIN AFTER THE THIRD DAY."
00:22:35.12\00:22:40.06
SO THIS IS NOT JUST THE BIBLE,
FRIENDS, THIS IS HISTORY. AND
00:22:40.09\00:22:43.06
EVEN THIS JEWISH HISTORIAN
SAYS, 'YEAH, HE WAS THE MESSIAH.
00:22:43.09\00:22:46.36
HE APPEARED. HE ROSE FROM THE
DEAD.' - "AS THE DIVINE PROPHETS
00:22:46.39\00:22:51.10
HAD FORETOLD THESE THINGS
AND TEN THOUSAND OTHER WONDERFUL
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.90
THINGS CONCERNING HIM AND
THE TRIBE OF CHRISTIAN CONTINUES
00:22:53.94\00:22:57.61
WITH US AND THEY ARE NOT
EXTINCT, EVEN TO THIS DAY."
00:22:57.64\00:23:00.88
SO I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER
WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT HERE.
00:23:00.91\00:23:03.28
THERE ARE PROPHECIES THAT TELL
ABOUT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH.
00:23:03.31\00:23:05.95
THAT HE'D BE BORN OF A VIRGIN,
THE TIME OF HIS BAPTISM, THE
00:23:05.98\00:23:10.79
TYPE OF MINISTRY, THE EVENTS OF
HIS BETRAYAL, THE MANNER OF HIS
00:23:10.82\00:23:14.22
EXECUTION, HIS
RESURRECTION, HIS ASCENSION.
00:23:14.26\00:23:16.83
THIS IS ALL FORETOLD
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:23:16.86\00:23:20.03
AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, 'PASTOR
DOUG,' - WE HAD A QUESTION I
00:23:20.06\00:23:22.16
DIDN'T READ
TONIGHT. 'HOW DO YOU KNOW
00:23:22.20\00:23:23.90
THE BIBLE IS TRUE?' I'M
GOING, 'PFFFFTTT' - WHAT
00:23:23.93\00:23:26.20
EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT?
WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT?
00:23:26.23\00:23:31.11
THE BOOK HAS BEEN
SUPERNATURALLY PRESERVED.
00:23:31.14\00:23:32.87
EVERYTHING IT
SAYS HAS COME TRUE.
00:23:32.91\00:23:35.18
AND JESUS IS THE
BEST EVIDENCE OF ALL.
00:23:35.21\00:23:37.18
>>AMEN. >>YOU
START TO PUT THE PIECES
00:23:37.21\00:23:39.28
TOGETHER, FRIENDS, AND YOU
CAN SEE JESUS IS WHAT THE WHOLE
00:23:39.31\00:23:42.15
BIBLE IS TALKING
ABOUT. AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:23:42.18\00:23:45.42
>>SO WHY DID HE
COME? THREE QUICK REASONS
00:23:45.45\00:23:49.22
WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW.
ONE HE CAME AS OUR EXAMPLE.
00:23:49.26\00:23:52.46
JESUS HE SAID, 'I'VE GIVEN YOU
AN EXAMPLE THAT YOU SHOULD WALK
00:23:52.49\00:23:56.80
AS I'VE WALKED.' JESUS CHRIST
CAME - AND THAT, BY THE WAY, IS
00:23:56.83\00:24:01.40
JOHN CHAPTER 13:15 - 'I WANT
YOU TO LIVE AS I HAVE LIVED.' A
00:24:01.44\00:24:06.07
CHRISTIAN IS A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
00:24:06.11\00:24:08.01
HE CAME TO SHOW US THE FATHER
- IS THE SECOND REASON HE CAME.
00:24:08.04\00:24:11.35
HE SAID, 'HE WHO HAS SEEN ME
HAS SEEN THE FATHER.' AND THEN,
00:24:11.38\00:24:16.02
FINALLY, HE SAID, 'I'VE
COME BECAUSE I WANT TO TAKE YOUR
00:24:16.05\00:24:20.22
PLACE.' HE IS OUR SUBSTITUTE.
HE DIED AS A SACRIFICE FOR
00:24:20.26\00:24:24.26
OUR SINS BECAUSE HE
LOVES US. BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
00:24:24.29\00:24:27.13
THAT WE NEED TO DO.
WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT
00:24:27.20\00:24:30.30
SACRIFICE IN OUR BEHALF. >>AMEN.
00:24:30.33\00:24:33.30
>>YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS WAS BEING
TRIED, PILATE SAID TO HIM, 'WHAT
00:24:33.34\00:24:38.21
AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH
JESUS WHO IS CALLED THE CHRIST?'
00:24:38.24\00:24:41.31
EVERYONE REALLY NEEDS
TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
00:24:41.34\00:24:43.68
HE IS THE CENTRAL
FIGURE OF HUMAN HISTORY.
00:24:43.71\00:24:46.82
ALL OF HISTORY
DATED FROM HIS BIRTH.
00:24:46.85\00:24:49.08
YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE JESUS.
GOD HAS GIVEN AN INCREDIBLE
00:24:49.12\00:24:52.92
GIFT THAT WE MIGHT
BE FORGIVEN. >>AMEN.
00:24:52.95\00:24:56.42
>>I REMEMBER READING A STORY
YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS - A RAILWAY
00:24:56.46\00:25:00.43
SWITCH KEEPER IN PRUSSIA OVER IN
EUROPE WHERE THEY HAD THIS SPAN
00:25:00.46\00:25:06.03
THAT CROSSED THE BRIDGE - A
RAILROAD TRACK CROSSED THE RIVER
00:25:06.07\00:25:09.40
AND THERE WAS A DRAWBRIDGE.
AND WHENEVER THE TRAIN WAS
00:25:09.44\00:25:12.14
APPROACHING IT WOULD TOOT ITS
WHISTLE AND HE WOULD RAISE THIS
00:25:12.17\00:25:16.14
FLAG AND SAID, 'ALL CLEAR.
KEEP GOING.' AND ONE DAY, WHILE
00:25:16.18\00:25:19.48
HE WAS AT HIS STATION WAITING
FOR THE TRAIN, IT TOOTED THE
00:25:19.51\00:25:22.82
WHISTLE AND HE
GAVE THE ALL CLEAR SIGN.
00:25:22.85\00:25:25.19
BUT THAT WAS ALSO A DAY THAT HE
HAD BROUGHT HIS 4-YEAR-OLD SON
00:25:25.22\00:25:27.96
WITH HIM TO WORK AND HE HAD
TAKEN HIS EYES OFF HIS SON WHO
00:25:27.99\00:25:31.03
HAD WANDERED OUT ON THE TRESTLE
AND HE SAW THE TRAIN COMING.
00:25:31.06\00:25:34.93
KNOWING THE SPEED OF THE TRAIN,
SEEING HOW FAR OUT ON THE TRACK
00:25:34.93\00:25:38.70
HIS SON WAS, HE
THOUGHT 'WHAT DO I DO?
00:25:38.73\00:25:41.64
IF I LEAVE THE BRIDGE UP, THE
TRAIN'LL GO OFF AND ALL THOSE
00:25:41.67\00:25:45.11
PEOPLE WILL PERISH IN THE RIVER.
IF I DON'T SWITCH THE TRAIN OFF
00:25:45.14\00:25:49.91
THE TRACK MY SON IS GOING TO
PERISH.' AND SO HE SHOUTED OUT
00:25:49.94\00:25:54.28
TO HIS SON, 'LAY DOWN NOW.
LAY DOWN AND DO NOT MOVE.' AND
00:25:54.32\00:25:59.49
HE KNEW THE BOY COULDN'T OUTRUN
THE TRAIN AND THE BOY LAID DOWN.
00:25:59.52\00:26:04.06
THE BRIDGE WENT DOWN THE TRAIN
WENT ACROSS THE RIVER AND THE
00:26:04.09\00:26:08.93
MAN NEVER KNEW - AND THE PEOPLE
WENT BY THERE, WAVING AT THE MAN
00:26:08.96\00:26:10.93
IN THE BOOTH. THEY
HAD NO IDEA THAT WHAT -
00:26:10.97\00:26:15.60
THE DECISION HE HAD JUST MADE.
AFTER THE TRAIN PASSED HE RAN
00:26:15.64\00:26:18.61
OUT THERE EXPECTING
MAYBE TO FIND THE MANGLED
00:26:18.64\00:26:20.31
REMAINS OF HIS CHILDREN. HIS BOY
HAD OBEYED AND HE WAS ALIVE. THE
00:26:20.34\00:26:24.78
WHOLE TRAIN WENT OVER HIM.
NEXT DAY THE KING OF PRUSSIA
00:26:24.81\00:26:28.58
GAVE THAT MAN A REWARD FOR BEING
WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS SON
00:26:28.62\00:26:32.59
TO SAVE ALL THOSE
PEOPLE. HIS SON DID NOT DIE.
00:26:32.62\00:26:38.69
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD
VARIATIONS OF THAT STORY.
00:26:38.73\00:26:41.50
BUT IT IS TRUE THAT OUR FATHER
GAVE HIS SON AND HE DID DIE.
00:26:41.53\00:26:45.97
AND A LOT OF THE WORLD DOESN'T
EVEN KNOW, AS THEY GO ON THEIR
00:26:46.00\00:26:48.20
MERRY WAY, THEY'RE ALIVE TODAY
BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:26:48.24\00:26:51.47
BECAUSE THE
PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
00:26:51.51\00:26:53.24
AND WHY AREN'T
THESE PEOPLE ALL DEAD?
00:26:53.27\00:26:55.34
BECAUSE JESUS, BY HIS SACRIFICE,
BOUGHT THE HUMAN RACE TIME -
00:26:55.38\00:26:59.65
PROBATION - TO MAKE A DECISION.
WE'VE GOT JUST THIS LIFE.
00:26:59.68\00:27:04.65
ONE LIFE TO MAKE A DECISION.
