Today, we're
talking about the Jew,
00:00:13.31\00:00:15.14
the Arab and Jerusalem,
00:00:15.18\00:00:16.75
and the coming of a
mighty prince of peace,
00:00:16.78\00:00:18.75
who along can bring
peace to this part of the world
00:00:18.78\00:00:22.38
that have got ISIS
00:00:22.42\00:00:23.75
and all these unspeakable
tragedies happening today.
00:00:23.79\00:00:28.59
The city of Jerusalem
is sacred to the hearts
00:00:28.62\00:00:32.49
of three great
religions, to the Jews,
00:00:32.53\00:00:36.20
Christians, and the Muslims.
00:00:36.23\00:00:42.00
One of the most
fascinating places in Jerusalem
00:00:42.04\00:00:45.04
is this place here
00:00:45.07\00:00:46.94
that is called,
The Dome of the Rock.
00:00:46.98\00:00:51.01
It is built from the very
site of the old Jewish temple
00:00:51.05\00:00:55.68
which was built
upon the very site
00:00:55.72\00:00:58.19
where Abraham
offered up his son.
00:00:58.22\00:01:01.59
The Dome of the Rock
was built in 1691 A.D
00:01:01.62\00:01:05.69
by the Muslims.
00:01:05.73\00:01:07.93
The Prophet as I called
him the holy prophet Muhammad
00:01:07.96\00:01:11.73
was born in Mecca in 570A.D.
00:01:11.77\00:01:15.50
He died in 632A.D.
00:01:15.54\00:01:18.74
He traced, he
believed his ancestry
00:01:18.77\00:01:21.71
back to Ishmael and Abraham.
00:01:21.74\00:01:25.15
He taught only one God.
00:01:25.18\00:01:28.35
He deplored the
worship of images
00:01:28.38\00:01:31.65
and because the Christian church
00:01:31.69\00:01:33.46
by this time was just flooded
with icons and pagan symbols,
00:01:33.49\00:01:40.46
and all of the images.
00:01:40.50\00:01:42.40
He came with a
message he believed
00:01:42.43\00:01:44.43
was hot from the heart of God
00:01:44.47\00:01:46.84
and that was to
overthrow idolatry.
00:01:46.87\00:01:50.17
That is the
great message of Islam.
00:01:50.21\00:01:53.54
That there is only one
God, his name is Allah,
00:01:53.58\00:01:57.35
and Muhammad is his prophet.
00:01:57.38\00:02:00.98
He also believed that
Jesus was a great prophet.
00:02:01.02\00:02:07.12
So when you read the Quran,
it is not really against Jesus,
00:02:07.16\00:02:11.89
it teaches that
Jesus was a great
00:02:11.93\00:02:15.16
and a mighty prophet
but not the son of God.
00:02:15.20\00:02:19.00
Not the son of God
but a great prophet.
00:02:19.03\00:02:23.54
This is where our Muslim friends
00:02:23.57\00:02:26.14
come by the millions
00:02:26.17\00:02:29.01
and they come to
this place to worship.
00:02:29.04\00:02:32.08
They come to this place
that is called the Kabah
00:02:32.11\00:02:37.75
and they believe that the
Kabah was actually built by Adam
00:02:37.79\00:02:44.26
and restored by
Abraham their father.
00:02:44.29\00:02:50.50
They also believed
that Muhammad was carried
00:02:50.53\00:02:52.93
by the Angel
Gabriel to Jerusalem
00:02:52.97\00:02:56.00
and ascended into heaven
where he received instructions
00:02:56.04\00:02:59.64
from almighty God,
from Allah himself.
00:02:59.67\00:03:04.68
This is the most
sacred place in all of Islam.
00:03:04.71\00:03:10.79
It is they believe
very center of the universe.
00:03:10.82\00:03:16.76
Now I'm gonna take
you to the Jewish temple.
00:03:16.79\00:03:20.73
The Jewish temple however
00:03:20.76\00:03:22.73
was built long before the Kabah.
00:03:22.76\00:03:25.53
The Jewish temple was
built firstly by Solomon
00:03:25.57\00:03:29.77
about a thousand
years before Christ.
00:03:29.80\00:03:32.74
And then it was
restored in the days of Nehemiah
00:03:32.77\00:03:38.28
and then it was destroyed,
00:03:38.31\00:03:39.95
you should know
by the Babylonians
00:03:39.98\00:03:42.18
and built by Herod the great.
00:03:42.22\00:03:45.82
It became one of
the greatest buildings
00:03:45.85\00:03:48.32
in the history world.
00:03:48.36\00:03:50.63
This is the site of
the ancient Jewish temple.
00:03:50.66\00:03:54.60
The Jewish temple today no
longer has a temple upon it,
00:03:54.63\00:03:58.43
but it has--
00:03:58.47\00:03:59.93
doesn't have this.
00:03:59.97\00:04:02.17
It has a building
00:04:02.20\00:04:04.94
that commemorates
the faith of Islam,
00:04:04.97\00:04:09.34
amazing thing.
00:04:09.38\00:04:11.28
It is where Jesus
preached and taught.
00:04:11.31\00:04:14.38
The temple itself was
bigger than most of us realize.
00:04:14.42\00:04:18.85
It's 1,500 feet
long, 900 feet across.
00:04:18.89\00:04:23.63
It was built upon
tremendous foundation stones
00:04:23.66\00:04:26.93
and some of those
foundation stones,
00:04:26.96\00:04:29.43
I have actually
measured them are 30 feet long
00:04:29.46\00:04:32.83
and some of them like
this one here is 60 feet long.
00:04:32.87\00:04:38.61
Massive,
00:04:38.64\00:04:39.97
it would take an
earthquake to knock it down.
00:04:40.01\00:04:43.14
It became the temple of doom.
00:04:43.18\00:04:47.32
When we look at these buildings
and we hear the story, we know,
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.82
we're not dealing with fiction,
00:04:50.85\00:04:52.95
we're dealing with
the facts of history.
00:04:52.99\00:04:55.56
Even the great
professor Dawkins says now,
00:04:55.59\00:04:59.16
he used to deny that
Jesus was a person of history.
00:04:59.19\00:05:02.03
He says "there
was a real Jesus."
00:05:02.06\00:05:05.70
I want to show you
just a few sites quickly
00:05:05.73\00:05:08.17
around Jerusalem.
00:05:08.20\00:05:09.84
When I take you very
quickly to some of these place
00:05:09.87\00:05:12.51
to the Garden of
Gethsemane where Jesus went,
00:05:12.54\00:05:15.68
and where Jesus was betrayed.
00:05:15.71\00:05:18.38
It is an absolutely
exquisite and beautiful place.
00:05:18.41\00:05:22.55
And this is where
Christians believe
00:05:22.58\00:05:24.59
that Lord came on that night.
00:05:24.62\00:05:26.86
This is the place
00:05:26.89\00:05:28.56
where Christians
believe with some validity,
00:05:28.59\00:05:32.13
where Christ was
placed in the tomb
00:05:32.16\00:05:34.06
and this place
here was where Christ
00:05:34.10\00:05:36.33
was flocked by
the Roman soldiers.
00:05:36.36\00:05:39.17
But many conservative
archaeologists believe
00:05:39.20\00:05:42.70
that this place here,
the church of Sepulcher,
00:05:42.74\00:05:48.48
is actually the place
00:05:48.51\00:05:49.91
where the Lord
Jesus Christ was laid
00:05:49.94\00:05:53.92
but really, it doesn't
really matter a great deal,
00:05:53.95\00:05:56.89
because we know
that's he is alive.
00:05:56.92\00:06:01.19
This is the place
where Jesus stood before
00:06:01.22\00:06:04.76
the Roman governor and
the marks are in the rocks.
00:06:04.79\00:06:08.60
So the horses
wouldn't fall over.
00:06:08.63\00:06:10.80
This is called the pavement
00:06:10.83\00:06:13.20
and you'll see
something of significance here.
00:06:13.23\00:06:15.97
They had a game that
Roman soldiers played this game
00:06:16.00\00:06:18.67
that was called
"King for a Day."
00:06:18.71\00:06:22.98
And so they made Jesus king,
and after they beat Him up,
00:06:23.01\00:06:27.15
they made Him king for a
day until they took Him out
00:06:27.18\00:06:30.72
and they crucified Him.
00:06:30.75\00:06:32.39
But these are solid
things, these are real,
00:06:32.42\00:06:36.02
these are not just traditions.
00:06:36.06\00:06:40.30
We know that this man
was a real figure in history,
00:06:40.33\00:06:43.87
his name was Pontius Pilate.
00:06:43.90\00:06:46.23
And if you look at
this old Roman inscription,
00:06:46.27\00:06:49.90
and if you look at it hard,
00:06:49.94\00:06:51.74
you will actually
see the name Pilate
00:06:51.77\00:06:54.48
written there on the stone.
00:06:54.51\00:06:56.04
So we're dealing my
friend not with fairytales,
00:06:56.08\00:06:59.48
but we're dealing
with the facts of history.
00:06:59.51\00:07:02.25
Now I've got to go fast.
00:07:02.28\00:07:04.25
I'm going to talk
about the amazing story
00:07:04.29\00:07:06.76
of the Temple of Doom.
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.36
I want you to come over
here, we got to go faster.
00:07:08.39\00:07:10.73
You want to come over
here to Luke Chapter 21
00:07:10.76\00:07:13.53
'cause I'm gonna run out of time
00:07:13.56\00:07:15.10
and this one Luke
21:20 and onwards, Jesus said
00:07:15.13\00:07:20.34
and Jesus, you should know
lived about 2,000 years ago,
00:07:20.37\00:07:23.87
"But when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
00:07:23.91\00:07:27.78
they know their
desolation is near.
00:07:27.81\00:07:30.05
Let those in Judea
flee to the mountains.
00:07:30.08\00:07:32.78
Let those who're in
the midst of her depart
00:07:32.81\00:07:37.45
and let not those who
are in the country enter her.
00:07:37.49\00:07:41.09
For these are the
days of vengeance,
00:07:41.12\00:07:43.09
that all things are
written maybe fulfilled,
00:07:43.12\00:07:46.73
But woe to
those who are pregnant
00:07:46.76\00:07:48.86
and to those who are
nursing babies in those days.
00:07:48.90\00:07:51.43
For there will be
great distress in the land
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.54
and wrath upon this people,
00:07:53.57\00:07:55.70
and they will fall by
the edge of the sword,
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.94
and be led away
captive into all nations
00:07:57.97\00:08:00.24
and Jerusalem will
be trampled by Gentiles
00:08:00.28\00:08:02.74
until the times of the
Gentiles are fulfilled."
00:08:02.78\00:08:06.65
Listen to the story.
00:08:06.68\00:08:09.02
I got so much,
I got to tell you.
00:08:09.05\00:08:10.59
You got to press all
this in as I tell this to you.
00:08:10.62\00:08:14.72
In 66 A.D, because of
legitimate grievances,
00:08:14.76\00:08:21.60
the Jews had an
uprising against the Romans, 66.
00:08:21.63\00:08:26.70
The Romans sent
down their best general
00:08:26.74\00:08:29.70
from the north in Syria,
00:08:29.74\00:08:32.14
his name was Cestius Gallus.
00:08:32.17\00:08:37.18
He quickly surrounded the temple
00:08:37.21\00:08:39.55
and the whole city of Jerusalem.
00:08:39.58\00:08:43.72
My friend think of the prophecy.
00:08:43.75\00:08:47.02
This is when you see Jerusalem
00:08:47.06\00:08:48.49
surrounded by armies then flee--
00:08:48.52\00:08:52.56
Well, how could you?
00:08:52.59\00:08:55.33
How can you flee when you're
surrounded by the soldiers
00:08:55.36\00:08:58.57
of the greatest
nation in the world?
00:08:58.60\00:09:00.94
It seemed to be an
absolute impossibility.
00:09:00.97\00:09:05.44
I'm talking to
you what happened?
00:09:05.47\00:09:08.58
After he was winning the battle
for some inexplicable reason
00:09:08.61\00:09:13.92
nobody understands
as Dr. Siegfried Horn
00:09:13.95\00:09:16.92
explained to me.
00:09:16.95\00:09:19.79
The Roman soldiers departed,
00:09:19.82\00:09:22.89
they gave up the siege
and they went down the road,
00:09:22.92\00:09:27.20
the Beth Horon
road to the coast.
00:09:27.23\00:09:30.63
The Jews who are mighty fighters
00:09:30.67\00:09:32.47
came out like wild
hornets and they attacked
00:09:32.50\00:09:35.84
the Romans as they went
down the road to Beth Horon.
00:09:35.87\00:09:40.18
And in one day they
killed 6,000 Roman soldiers.
00:09:40.21\00:09:45.28
And they struck
a coin that said,
00:09:45.31\00:09:47.68
"In our first year of liberty,
00:09:47.72\00:09:53.62
we won the
battle, we've freedom."
00:09:53.66\00:09:58.29
But the
Christians had this prophecy.
00:09:58.33\00:10:02.36
Jesus said when you
see Jerusalem surrounded,
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.57
then flee.
00:10:04.60\00:10:05.93
It seemed it impossibility
but when Cestius Gallus
00:10:05.97\00:10:11.27
withdrew his troops,
00:10:11.31\00:10:13.01
the Christians
came out of the city
00:10:13.04\00:10:16.04
and they fled to a
little town by the name of Pella
00:10:16.08\00:10:19.31
and when Jerusalem
was subsequently destroyed
00:10:19.35\00:10:22.28
not one Christian died
in the siege of Jerusalem.
00:10:22.32\00:10:26.62
And I'll tell you
why, I'll tell you why.
00:10:26.65\00:10:28.76
It is because, it is because,
00:10:28.79\00:10:31.29
they believed
the words of Jesus.
00:10:31.33\00:10:35.76
And then a few years
later, Vespasian came back
00:10:35.80\00:10:39.97
and he became
the emperor of Rome.
00:10:40.00\00:10:43.74
And he had a son
by the name of Titus.
00:10:43.77\00:10:48.01
And when you go to Rome today
and you go inside this arch,
00:10:48.04\00:10:53.58
this is what you see.
00:10:53.62\00:10:57.22
It was all
written down in the Bible.
00:10:57.25\00:11:01.19
You have the seven
golden candlesticks.
00:11:01.22\00:11:05.83
Inside the city of Jerusalem,
00:11:05.86\00:11:08.73
it was held
00:11:08.76\00:11:10.47
when Vespasian put his
soldiers around the city.
00:11:10.50\00:11:14.40
There was three characters
00:11:14.44\00:11:16.94
John of
Giscala, Simon bar Giora,
00:11:16.97\00:11:19.94
and Ally is the son of Simon.
00:11:19.97\00:11:22.34
They fought among themselves,
they burnt each other's food.
00:11:22.38\00:11:28.05
The people were
starving to death,
00:11:28.08\00:11:31.55
they practiced cannibalism.
00:11:31.59\00:11:36.22
And then history tells me
00:11:36.26\00:11:39.63
that in 1780
after this bloody siege,
00:11:39.66\00:11:46.10
the wall was broken.
00:11:46.13\00:11:47.57
Let me tell you folk something
if you want to know the truth.
00:11:47.60\00:11:52.51
As the Jews surrendered
00:11:52.54\00:11:54.14
and gave
themselves up to Titus...
00:11:54.18\00:11:56.34
It was
discovered that some of them
00:11:59.78\00:12:01.52
had been swallowing gold,
00:12:01.55\00:12:06.09
and so they took
thousands of them
00:12:06.12\00:12:08.12
and cut them open
00:12:08.16\00:12:09.79
and took the gold out
of their living bodies
00:12:09.82\00:12:12.89
and then they
put them on crosses,
00:12:12.93\00:12:16.93
in the spot where
Jesus was crucified,
00:12:16.97\00:12:19.93
the crosses were so thick
00:12:19.97\00:12:22.34
you couldn't walk
between the crosses...
00:12:22.37\00:12:25.47
and it should
never have happened.
00:12:28.84\00:12:30.91
Come over here to
Daniel 9:25. Come fast with me.
00:12:30.95\00:12:35.08
Daniel 9:25,
00:12:35.12\00:12:37.72
I'll tell you why it
should never have happened.
00:12:37.75\00:12:43.02
Daniel 9:25 says, "Know
therefore and understand,
00:12:43.06\00:12:47.96
that from the going
forth of the command
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.73
to restore and build Jerusalem
until Messiah the Prince,
00:12:50.77\00:12:54.77
there shall be seven
weeks and sixty two weeks,
00:12:54.80\00:12:56.84
sixty nine weeks.
00:12:56.87\00:12:58.41
The street shall be
built again and the wall,
00:12:58.44\00:13:01.31
even in troublous times."
00:13:01.34\00:13:03.35
This is talking
00:13:03.38\00:13:04.88
about the
restoration of Jerusalem
00:13:04.91\00:13:08.52
after the Babylonians came.
00:13:08.55\00:13:11.72
Now I want you to notice this.
00:13:11.75\00:13:14.16
A man in Babylonian
by the name of Daniel,
00:13:14.19\00:13:18.03
2,500 years ago said
there would be 69 weeks
00:13:18.06\00:13:22.86
of 483 days
00:13:22.90\00:13:27.24
of prophetic years
00:13:27.27\00:13:30.84
and the Bible says
Messiah the prince would come
00:13:30.87\00:13:34.54
after a decree and
this decree was made
00:13:34.58\00:13:38.41
by Artaxerxes
Longimanus in 457.B.C.
00:13:38.45\00:13:44.99
This is history.
00:13:45.02\00:13:48.12
And if you add the 483
years under the prophecy,
00:13:48.16\00:13:52.93
it brings you through the 27.A.D
00:13:52.96\00:13:56.13
and what happened in 27 A.D?
00:13:56.16\00:13:58.57
I wonder. Now you
can see why I believe.
00:13:58.60\00:14:03.54
I want you to come
over here with me to Luke.
00:14:03.57\00:14:05.77
You'll see the
fulfillment of that prophecy.
00:14:05.81\00:14:09.04
This was talking about
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.41
the coming of
the prince of peace,
00:14:10.45\00:14:12.88
and you can't have peace
00:14:12.91\00:14:14.25
until you have
the prince of peace,
00:14:14.28\00:14:16.28
whether you're a Jew
or Muslim or a Christian.
00:14:16.32\00:14:20.29
Luke 3:21 and
onwards, if you got it,
00:14:20.32\00:14:23.96
Luke 3:21 and
onwards it says now
00:14:23.99\00:14:29.66
"When all the
people were baptized,
00:14:29.70\00:14:31.27
it came to pass that
Jesus also was baptized.
00:14:31.30\00:14:34.60
And while he prayed
the heaven was opened.
00:14:34.64\00:14:36.91
And the Holy Spirit
descended in a bodily form
00:14:36.94\00:14:39.14
like a dove upon him.
00:14:39.17\00:14:40.51
And a voice came
from heaven which said
00:14:40.54\00:14:42.18
"You are my beloved son,
in whom I am well pleased."
00:14:42.21\00:14:47.72
And the Bible tells us
00:14:47.75\00:14:49.78
that Jesus,
next verse, verse 23,
00:14:49.82\00:14:53.42
"And Jesus
Himself began His ministry
00:14:53.46\00:14:56.26
at about 30 years of age."
00:14:56.29\00:14:59.66
So Jesus was about 30
00:14:59.69\00:15:02.40
and this is when He
commenced His ministry
00:15:02.43\00:15:05.13
and when He was
revealed to the people of Israel
00:15:05.17\00:15:10.64
at His baptism.
00:15:10.67\00:15:12.17
Before this, He was locked
in seclusion and obscurity.
00:15:12.21\00:15:17.88
And when did it happen?
00:15:17.91\00:15:19.25
Look at Luke 3:1, this
is plain as the days long,
00:15:19.28\00:15:24.92
"Now in the fifteenth year
00:15:24.95\00:15:26.29
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
00:15:26.32\00:15:28.82
Pontius Pilate
being governor of Judea,
00:15:28.86\00:15:31.76
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
00:15:31.79\00:15:34.13
his brother
Philip tetrarch of Iturea
00:15:34.16\00:15:36.63
and the region of Traconitis
00:15:36.67\00:15:38.60
and Lysanias
tetrarch of Abilene."
00:15:38.63\00:15:41.20
Look it again.
00:15:41.24\00:15:42.57
Now in the fifteenth year
00:15:42.60\00:15:43.94
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.
00:15:43.97\00:15:45.31
Listen carefully,
00:15:45.34\00:15:46.74
especially if you are a skeptic.
00:15:46.78\00:15:48.74
Two and a half
thousand years ago,
00:15:51.91\00:15:54.55
hundreds of years before
Jesus came into this world.
00:15:54.58\00:15:58.45
It was predicted that he
would make his public appearance
00:15:58.49\00:16:03.76
483 years after the
decree of Artaxerxes,
00:16:03.79\00:16:08.43
was a Persian king.
00:16:08.46\00:16:10.63
That year was 27.A.D,
00:16:10.67\00:16:14.70
because it was
the fifteenth year
00:16:14.74\00:16:17.21
of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.
00:16:17.24\00:16:20.24
Now according to
Jewish reckoning,
00:16:20.28\00:16:23.75
the fifteenth year of the reign
of Tiberius Caesar was 27 A.D,
00:16:23.78\00:16:27.95
and in 27 A.D,
00:16:27.98\00:16:30.62
Christ was baptized.
00:16:30.65\00:16:35.36
Now I put this to you.
00:16:35.39\00:16:37.83
The skeptic will tell me
00:16:37.86\00:16:39.56
that Jesus Christ
is just a carpenter.
00:16:39.59\00:16:44.50
Then if he is just a carpenter,
00:16:44.53\00:16:46.74
then every skeptic and infidel
00:16:46.77\00:16:48.84
and unbeliever is defeated
by this carpenter's baptism.
00:16:48.87\00:16:54.38
Because He came to
the world, right on time.
00:16:54.41\00:17:00.72
So this is overwhelming evidence
00:17:00.75\00:17:07.16
that He is more
than a carpenter,
00:17:07.19\00:17:09.59
and He is the Son of God.
00:17:09.62\00:17:12.89
Now my beloved Muslim
friends whom I appreciate
00:17:12.93\00:17:17.80
tell me that He
is a great prophet,
00:17:17.83\00:17:22.47
and we accept what they say.
00:17:22.50\00:17:24.34
The Jewish people say that
He is an imposter and a fraud,
00:17:24.37\00:17:30.91
but the Prophet Muhammad said,
00:17:30.95\00:17:32.51
He is one of the
great prophets like Moses.
00:17:32.55\00:17:35.88
But He is more than a
great prophet like Moses,
00:17:35.92\00:17:38.99
He is indeed the Son of God
00:17:39.02\00:17:43.49
according to scripture.
00:17:43.53\00:17:46.39
Born on time, lived on
time, baptized on time,
00:17:46.43\00:17:51.10
revealed on time
and died on time.
00:17:51.13\00:17:54.87
Look at verse 26,
00:17:54.90\00:17:56.50
Daniel 9:26, come
back to it please.
00:17:56.54\00:17:59.87
Daniel 9:26,
00:17:59.91\00:18:04.68
what went wrong?
00:18:04.71\00:18:06.51
Well, we'll see what
went wrong in the Middle East.
00:18:06.55\00:18:09.52
Daniel 9:26--
00:18:09.55\00:18:13.49
"And after the 62 weeks
Messiah shall be cut off--"
00:18:13.52\00:18:18.13
We won't go into
that time period,
00:18:18.16\00:18:19.86
but the Bible says,
00:18:19.89\00:18:22.60
Messiah, well,
what happened to Him?
00:18:22.63\00:18:25.67
He'll be cut off.
00:18:25.70\00:18:27.04
In other words,
He would be murdered.
00:18:27.07\00:18:31.24
Now our Muslim friend says no,
00:18:31.27\00:18:33.58
the Messiah could
never, never be murdered
00:18:33.61\00:18:35.98
because God would not allow it.
00:18:36.01\00:18:39.78
But He was put to death
not for Himself but for us,
00:18:39.81\00:18:43.89
and for our sins.
00:18:43.92\00:18:46.55
Now please read it.
00:18:46.59\00:18:49.36
"And after the 62 weeks
Messiah shall be cut off,
00:18:49.39\00:18:52.06
but not for Himself."
00:18:52.09\00:18:55.56
So He didn't die for Himself,
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.20
He died for the
sins of the world.
00:18:58.23\00:19:00.84
Now--
00:19:00.87\00:19:03.91
history tells me,
00:19:03.94\00:19:05.34
and we won't go into
this time period today,
00:19:05.37\00:19:08.81
but history tells me
00:19:08.84\00:19:11.31
that after this period of
the 483 years after 27 A.D,
00:19:11.35\00:19:18.12
the Bible actually said
Messiah would be cut off.
00:19:18.15\00:19:22.32
So history tells me
Christ is a real person.
00:19:25.59\00:19:29.26
He was born on
time in the right place
00:19:29.30\00:19:32.23
and after this
time period it says
00:19:32.27\00:19:35.04
Messiah shall be cut
off, but not for Himself.
00:19:35.07\00:19:40.34
So He didn't died
because He was a bad man,
00:19:40.38\00:19:43.24
He didn't die
because of His sins,
00:19:43.28\00:19:45.95
He died to save us
and to bring us to God.
00:19:45.98\00:19:51.29
And this is true,
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.29
and this is history.
00:19:53.32\00:19:56.02
Now read on in this verse.
00:19:56.06\00:19:58.13
It's wonderful, this is amazing.
00:19:58.16\00:20:00.83
This comes from the
dust heaps of Babylon.
00:20:00.86\00:20:04.30
"And after the 62 weeks,
Messiah shall be cut off,
00:20:04.33\00:20:06.94
but not for
Himself and the people--"
00:20:06.97\00:20:09.80
Notice that word people.
00:20:09.84\00:20:11.74
"And the people of
the prince who is to come
00:20:11.77\00:20:14.58
shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary,
00:20:14.61\00:20:17.05
the end of it
shall be with a flood,
00:20:17.08\00:20:21.05
and till the end of war
desolations are determined."
00:20:21.08\00:20:24.89
Look at me.
00:20:24.92\00:20:27.82
The Bible doesn't say
00:20:27.86\00:20:29.32
the prince would destroy
the city, doesn't say this.
00:20:29.36\00:20:33.60
But it says the
people of the prince,
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.87
the prince is Titus.
00:20:36.90\00:20:40.20
Titus and the people
are the Roman soldiers.
00:20:40.24\00:20:46.94
When the temple caught on fire,
00:20:46.98\00:20:49.38
we're gonna
show you pictures now
00:20:49.41\00:20:51.58
of the
destruction of the temple.
00:20:51.61\00:20:54.35
When the temple caught on fire,
00:20:54.38\00:20:57.82
Titus was horrified, he
said it is a temple of Yahweh.
00:20:57.85\00:21:04.03
He said I am a Roman
00:21:04.06\00:21:05.89
but this the
temple of Almighty God.
00:21:05.93\00:21:07.83
Put out the fire.
00:21:07.86\00:21:09.60
He went down
00:21:09.63\00:21:12.73
and he held up the
staff of his office.
00:21:12.77\00:21:17.87
But the Romans
were so infuriated
00:21:17.91\00:21:20.48
with the insubordination
of the Jewish people.
00:21:20.51\00:21:26.31
How they've fought them
00:21:26.35\00:21:27.68
and killed many
of their soldiers.
00:21:27.72\00:21:31.19
That they push for
the first time in history,
00:21:31.22\00:21:34.02
they pushed Titus aside,
they pushed Caesar aside,
00:21:34.06\00:21:40.83
and they stormed into the temple
00:21:40.86\00:21:42.86
and one Roman
soldier took a flaming torch
00:21:42.90\00:21:46.47
and he flew threw
it into the temple
00:21:46.50\00:21:49.00
and soon it was on fire.
00:21:49.04\00:21:52.57
The people of the
prince who shall come,
00:21:52.61\00:21:56.08
the prince tried
to save the temple.
00:21:56.11\00:21:59.45
Don't tell me you
can't believe the Bible.
00:21:59.48\00:22:03.02
Look at the
fulfillment of his prophecy,
00:22:03.05\00:22:06.42
31 A.D, 27 A.D.
00:22:06.45\00:22:11.23
And then the coming of
the mighty prince of peace
00:22:11.26\00:22:13.70
and the people of the prince,
00:22:13.73\00:22:16.16
not the prince
shall destroy the city
00:22:16.20\00:22:19.77
and the sanctuary.
00:22:19.80\00:22:23.17
And then listen,
00:22:23.20\00:22:25.34
the Roman soldiers
took out their swords,
00:22:25.37\00:22:28.21
their short swords and
they went into the mops
00:22:28.24\00:22:34.05
and the blood mingled
with the gold of the temple
00:22:34.08\00:22:37.89
as it ran down the steps.
00:22:37.92\00:22:41.59
The survivors stood on the hills
00:22:41.62\00:22:43.93
and shouted Ichabod, Ichabod,
00:22:43.96\00:22:46.90
the glory has departed.
00:22:46.93\00:22:48.40
And Jerusalem has never,
00:22:52.03\00:22:54.17
the city of peace
has never known peace,
00:22:54.20\00:22:58.94
since it rejected
the prince of peace
00:22:58.97\00:23:01.38
and put Him on a cross.
00:23:01.41\00:23:05.18
You want to understand
00:23:05.21\00:23:06.92
the condition
in the world today.
00:23:06.95\00:23:08.72
You think politics are
going to save the world?
00:23:08.75\00:23:12.99
Has become a joke.
00:23:13.02\00:23:15.42
People laugh at it
and they discuss it.
00:23:15.46\00:23:17.86
People of the prince,
genuine prophecy exists,
00:23:21.70\00:23:27.44
the main issues
of the age are met.
00:23:27.47\00:23:31.07
Listen to this, hard words,
00:23:31.11\00:23:33.38
the turmoil, the continuing wars
00:23:33.41\00:23:35.98
and the terrorism
in the Middle East,
00:23:36.01\00:23:38.58
the problems in our own nations,
00:23:38.61\00:23:42.32
are a direct
consequence of the murder
00:23:42.35\00:23:44.82
and the
rejection of the Messiah,
00:23:44.85\00:23:47.76
the prince of peace.
00:23:47.79\00:23:49.92
Think of the text Isaiah 9:6,
00:23:49.96\00:23:53.03
"Unto us a child is
born, unto us son has given
00:23:53.06\00:23:57.47
and the government
shall be upon his shoulder,
00:23:57.50\00:23:59.63
and his name shall be
called wonderful counselor,
00:23:59.67\00:24:02.97
the mighty God,
The everlasting father,
00:24:03.00\00:24:07.61
the prince of peace."
00:24:07.64\00:24:12.08
The politics
are not gonna do it.
00:24:12.11\00:24:14.05
Only Christ,
the prince of peace.
00:24:14.08\00:24:19.35
You know how to get peace
00:24:19.39\00:24:20.72
between black
people and white people?
00:24:20.76\00:24:22.36
Not politics, Christ.
00:24:22.39\00:24:26.39
You know how
you get the Russians
00:24:26.43\00:24:28.03
and the Americans
to love each other?
00:24:28.06\00:24:30.27
Not politics, Christ, you see.
00:24:30.30\00:24:34.04
The North Koreans and
the South Koreans, no hope.
00:24:34.07\00:24:37.14
Christ only Christ
00:24:37.17\00:24:40.48
'cause He is
the prince of peace.
00:24:40.51\00:24:42.44
On one occasion, the disciples
were out on the Sea of Galilee,
00:24:42.48\00:24:46.31
You know, it s not a sea
00:24:46.35\00:24:48.72
but it's a
beautiful, wonderful lake.
00:24:48.75\00:24:51.52
And they're out
there on this lake
00:24:51.55\00:24:52.89
and a great storm came up
00:24:52.92\00:24:56.06
and they thought rightly
so they were going to drown.
00:24:56.09\00:25:01.20
Then they saw a man
walking on the water,
00:25:01.23\00:25:04.03
some say that's impossible.
00:25:04.07\00:25:05.67
It's impossible for us
but it's not impossible
00:25:05.70\00:25:07.90
if you're the man
who made the water.
00:25:07.94\00:25:10.91
He walks on the water,
they're scared to death.
00:25:10.94\00:25:15.38
Then they see who it is
00:25:15.41\00:25:17.15
and they take Him into the boat.
00:25:17.18\00:25:21.38
And instantaneously,
it's not like this anymore.
00:25:21.42\00:25:26.99
All of a sudden, there is peace.
00:25:27.02\00:25:33.90
And what we need
to do, my friends,
00:25:33.93\00:25:36.16
doesn't matter whether
we are Muslims or Christians
00:25:36.20\00:25:39.93
in the sense of our
need, we all got needs,
00:25:39.97\00:25:43.81
whoever we are,
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.37
we need to take
Christ into our boat.
00:25:46.41\00:25:51.81
Amen.
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.78
Because my friend,
00:25:53.82\00:25:56.32
He indeed and only He
is the prince of peace.
