What we're going
to discover here today
00:00:15.96\00:00:18.51
is that this sanctuary, that
God gave to Moses, is actually
00:00:18.54\00:00:24.07
a divine picture or a
divine miniature and model
00:00:24.32\00:00:28.09
of the great plan of salvation.
00:00:28.12\00:00:30.57
Let's begin by looking
right there in the paragraph
00:00:30.60\00:00:34.94
that begins "The key blank that
unlocks the judgment is found."
00:00:35.25\00:00:38.49
The key, that would be the first
word, that unlocks the judgment
00:00:38.52\00:00:43.64
is found in the
Israelite sanctuary.
00:00:43.67\00:00:46.65
We've already spent
some time looking at where
00:00:46.93\00:00:49.55
the judgment comes in
the great sweep of time.
00:00:49.58\00:00:52.04
We'll go over that a
little bit more as we move on
00:00:52.07\00:00:54.69
into the presentation, but
you remember there was Babylon,
00:00:54.72\00:00:58.05
Medopersia, Greece, Rome, little
horn and then the judgment
00:00:58.08\00:01:01.53
followed by the second coming.
00:01:01.56\00:01:03.26
Here it says the key
that unlocks the judgment,
00:01:03.29\00:01:05.91
this judgment that
we're trying to discover,
00:01:05.94\00:01:07.52
is found in the
Israelite sanctuary.
00:01:07.55\00:01:09.53
The cleansing of the
sanctuary was a day of judgment
00:01:09.56\00:01:13.88
for Israel,
symbolizing the final judgment.
00:01:13.91\00:01:17.42
The Day of Atonement, the
cleansing of the sanctuary
00:01:17.67\00:01:20.77
was a day of judgment
symbolizing the final judgment.
00:01:20.80\00:01:23.73
The cleansing of the sanctuary
was on the day of atonement.
00:01:23.76\00:01:29.02
The Day of Atonement divides
into three words: at one meant
00:01:29.18\00:01:33.13
or at one with,
that's exactly right,
00:01:33.16\00:01:35.05
otherwise known as Yom Kippur.
00:01:35.08\00:01:36.75
In order to understand the day
of atonement we must understand
00:01:36.78\00:01:39.75
at least in a basic
sense the purpose and drama
00:01:39.78\00:01:43.28
of the Israelite sanctuary.
00:01:43.31\00:01:45.05
There were two main services.
How many services everyone?
00:01:45.08\00:01:48.02
Two main services that were
carried out in the sanctuary.
00:01:48.05\00:01:50.46
There were many ceremonies
and rituals but they can be
00:01:50.49\00:01:52.88
roughly divided
into two main categories:
00:01:52.91\00:01:55.25
the daily service
and the yearly service.
00:01:55.28\00:01:58.61
Take notes an briefly describe
both of these services below.
00:01:58.64\00:02:04.24
Here is a picture of
the Israelite sanctuary,
00:02:04.53\00:02:09.61
how it would have looked.
00:02:09.91\00:02:11.40
We'd like to begin by taking a
look at the Israelite sanctuary.
00:02:11.43\00:02:16.29
You can sort of see it there.
00:02:16.32\00:02:18.02
The outer courtyard here
where the large altar is,
00:02:18.05\00:02:20.61
than the laver where
the priest would wash
00:02:20.64\00:02:22.32
before entering
the tabernacle proper.
00:02:22.35\00:02:23.61
The tabernacle proper
was composed of two parts.
00:02:23.64\00:02:26.38
The first was the holy place
and there where three articles
00:02:26.41\00:02:29.38
of furniture in the holy place.
00:02:29.41\00:02:31.03
How many articles
of furniture? Three.
00:02:31.06\00:02:32.72
As you walked in to your
immediate left there would be
00:02:32.75\00:02:34.68
the seven branched candlestick.
00:02:34.71\00:02:37.01
To your right would
be the table of shewbread
00:02:37.04\00:02:38.85
that had 12 loaves of bread.
00:02:38.88\00:02:40.47
As you walked right up in front
of you there was a large curtain
00:02:40.50\00:02:43.56
and that curtain
separated the holy place
00:02:43.59\00:02:46.05
from the most holy place.
00:02:46.08\00:02:47.51
This side of the curtain
was the altar of incense.
00:02:47.54\00:02:52.13
So three articles of furniture,
than as you would move pass that
00:02:52.51\00:02:56.64
through the heavy curtain
there would be a single article
00:02:56.67\00:02:59.35
of furniture, holy furniture,
in the most holy place
00:02:59.38\00:03:02.35
of the heavenly
sanctuary. What was that?
00:03:02.38\00:03:04.18
The Ark of the Covenant.
00:03:04.21\00:03:05.89
This kind of an overview, trying
to understand this sanctuary
00:03:05.92\00:03:11.47
from a Biblical perspective.
00:03:11.78\00:03:14.00
What we're going to discover
is that this was not something
00:03:14.03\00:03:17.06
that God invented to
keep the Israelites busy,
00:03:17.09\00:03:19.80
that is essential.
00:03:19.83\00:03:20.87
God didn't say "You know I've
got this idea." and He started
00:03:20.90\00:03:24.16
to invent this sort of
capricious and arbitrary drama:
00:03:24.19\00:03:26.50
"You go here and you
do here.", sort of a game.
00:03:26.53\00:03:28.92
As if the
Israelites were marionettes
00:03:28.95\00:03:30.52
just going about this
drama that had no meaning
00:03:30.55\00:03:32.35
or significance.
00:03:32.38\00:03:33.35
As a matter of fact there
was tremendous significance,
00:03:33.36\00:03:36.37
and tremendous foreshadowing
in the Israelites' sanctuary.
00:03:36.40\00:03:39.35
And that's what I
want to show you just now.
00:03:39.38\00:03:40.95
Open your Bible to
the book of Hebrews.
00:03:40.98\00:03:45.70
That is in the New Testament.
Go with me to Hebrews chapter 8.
00:03:46.00\00:03:52.46
You'll get through
the Galatians, Ephesians,
00:03:52.69\00:03:54.68
Philippians, Colossians,
than you come into the "Ts",
00:03:54.71\00:03:57.68
Thessalonians,
Timothy, Titus, and Hebrews.
00:03:57.71\00:04:02.17
We're going to
Hebrews chapter 8.
00:04:02.47\00:04:05.50
These verses are
not in your study guide
00:04:05.90\00:04:10.04
but I highly recommend
that you write them down.
00:04:10.31\00:04:12.49
Hebrews chapter
8, verse 1 it says:
00:04:12.52\00:04:16.34
"Now the point in
what we are saying is this:
00:04:16.66\00:04:23.89
we have such a high priest, one
who is seated at the right hand
00:04:24.18\00:04:29.87
of the Majesty in heaven,"
Who is that high priest?
00:04:30.12\00:04:32.52
Jesus Christ.
00:04:32.55\00:04:33.52
Look at verse two: "a
minister of the sanctuary
00:04:33.53\00:04:38.43
and of the true tabernacle which
the Lord erected and not man."
00:04:38.76\00:04:45.10
Look at verse two, it
says that we have a high priest
00:04:45.42\00:04:48.12
but is a high priest in
the true tabernacle, the one
00:04:48.15\00:04:51.14
that God erected and not man.
00:04:51.17\00:04:53.32
What we're going to discover
is that there are actually
00:04:53.35\00:04:55.76
two sanctuaries. How
many sanctuaries? Two.
00:04:55.79\00:04:59.21
An earthly and a heavenly.
What we're going to see
00:04:59.28\00:05:03.46
is that the earthly sanctuary
was a model or a pattern,
00:05:03.64\00:05:07.60
or a copy, or a miniature
of the heavenly sanctuary.
00:05:07.63\00:05:11.88
That's why the author of Hebrews
says that we have a high priest
00:05:12.13\00:05:15.10
who is in the true tabernacle,
the one that God made
00:05:15.13\00:05:18.85
and not man.
00:05:18.88\00:05:19.91
Same chapter look at verse 5.
00:05:20.10\00:05:21.91
It says: "Who serve the copy
and shadows of heavenly things
00:05:22.20\00:05:26.72
as Moses was the divinely
instructed when he was about
00:05:26.75\00:05:29.65
to make the tabernacle.
This is God speaking to Moses
00:05:29.68\00:05:32.77
on the top of Mount Sinai:
"See that you make all things
00:05:32.80\00:05:37.19
according to the pattern
shown you on the mountain."
00:05:37.22\00:05:42.32
Notice that God says to Moses
"I want you to make everything
00:05:42.58\00:05:46.68
according to the
pattern." When I was growing up
00:05:46.71\00:05:49.94
frequently my
grandparents would baby-sit me.
00:05:49.97\00:05:52.81
I never had the privilege of
meeting my biological father.
00:05:52.84\00:05:55.57
My mother was a single
mother and we lived in Wyoming,
00:05:55.60\00:05:58.80
and it was very difficult
for her to hold down a job
00:05:58.83\00:06:00.87
and to take care of me
and my younger brother.
00:06:00.90\00:06:02.61
So we'd spent a lot of
time at my grandparents' house.
00:06:02.64\00:06:04.91
I loved spending time at
my grandparents' house because
00:06:04.94\00:06:07.49
they had a beautiful
apple tree behind the old house,
00:06:07.52\00:06:10.00
and I loved to climb up
on the apple tree and hop up
00:06:10.03\00:06:12.35
on the garage and just
really enjoyed spending time
00:06:12.38\00:06:14.93
with my grandparents.
00:06:14.96\00:06:15.93
But every now and then or
probably once every week or two
00:06:15.94\00:06:18.41
my grandmother would take a
trip to the most boring place
00:06:18.44\00:06:22.81
in the Universe. It's
called "The fabric store."
00:06:22.84\00:06:27.66
She would have my
brother and I go. You can't even
00:06:28.00\00:06:30.57
get into trouble in a Fabric
store. There's just nothing
00:06:30.60\00:06:33.61
to break there, there's nothing
to do. It's just a great, big,
00:06:33.64\00:06:38.06
black hole of boredom.
00:06:38.09\00:06:40.52
My brother and I, we'd
go to the Fabric store there
00:06:40.86\00:06:46.05
and my grandmother would
spend what seemed like hours
00:06:46.37\00:06:49.27
going through these
little shelves of patterns,
00:06:49.30\00:06:52.12
little white envelopes
with ladies standing like this
00:06:52.15\00:06:55.16
and guy standing like this.
And she would buy these things
00:06:55.19\00:06:57.75
and it looked
somewhat interesting I suppose.
00:06:57.78\00:06:59.79
Finally after what seemed like
a tremendous long period of time
00:06:59.82\00:07:04.67
we would eventually leave the
Fabric store and we'd go home
00:07:04.70\00:07:07.66
and she'd bought 6 or
7 of these white packets
00:07:07.69\00:07:10.97
and I was thinking "Maybe
there's something exciting
00:07:11.00\00:07:13.22
in these white packets."
The first time I saw her open
00:07:13.25\00:07:15.71
of those things up she pulls
it out and it's brown paper.
00:07:15.74\00:07:20.49
I was like "You've
got to be kidding!".
00:07:20.87\00:07:23.86
We've spent all afternoon
in this silly store and you buy
00:07:23.89\00:07:27.85
brown paper. She'd take
those fabric sections, yards,
00:07:27.88\00:07:32.05
and different things that
she had purchased, and she would
00:07:32.08\00:07:34.93
lie them out and then
she would put these patterns
00:07:34.96\00:07:37.97
on top of them. She'd put a
what? Patterns on top of them
00:07:38.00\00:07:42.33
and cut them out and if
she everything out just exactly
00:07:42.36\00:07:45.83
as the pattern prescribed,
she could put together
00:07:45.86\00:07:48.34
the articles of clothing
that were being advertised
00:07:48.37\00:07:50.88
on the front of the envelope.
00:07:50.91\00:07:53.39
So a pattern is an
exact replica or a copy.
00:07:53.74\00:08:01.68
So God was speaking to Moses
on top of Mount Sinai and said:
00:08:02.03\00:08:04.53
"Moses, listen to me very
carefully. This is critical.
00:08:04.56\00:08:06.89
You need to make everything
to the exact specificity
00:08:06.92\00:08:10.73
that I'm spelling out for
you here. It has to be exactly
00:08:10.76\00:08:14.17
like the pattern that was
shown to you on the mountain."
00:08:14.20\00:08:18.30
Had to be like
what? Like the pattern.
00:08:18.33\00:08:19.98
The idea here is that
Moses didn't just dream this up.
00:08:20.01\00:08:22.52
Moses wasn't sitting around
with Aaron and some of the other
00:08:22.55\00:08:25.07
Israelites elders and say:
"What would be interesting?
00:08:25.10\00:08:27.66
What could we do to
keep all these people busy?"
00:08:27.69\00:08:29.84
No, no, no. God had
revealed this pattern,
00:08:29.87\00:08:33.11
this three fold pattern
of the Israelite sanctuary
00:08:33.14\00:08:36.29
that would eventually
become Solomon's temple, etc.
00:08:36.32\00:08:39.84
So the sanctuary in the
wilderness that was mobile
00:08:39.87\00:08:42.42
became the temple in Jerusalem.
Are we all clear on that?
00:08:42.45\00:08:46.27
It always consisted of three
major parts. How many parts?
00:08:46.30\00:08:50.13
Three major parts.
00:08:50.16\00:08:51.61
The outside was the
courtyard, then the holy place,
00:08:51.74\00:08:55.65
and the most holy place.
Now we're in Hebrews chapter 9.
00:08:55.68\00:08:58.42
Look at verse 23: "There for
it was necessary that the copies
00:08:58.45\00:09:08.91
of the things in the heavens
should be purified with these
00:09:09.21\00:09:12.72
but the heavenly
things themselves
00:09:12.75\00:09:14.87
with better sacrifices
then these." Verse 24:
00:09:14.90\00:09:18.04
"For Christ has not entered
the holy place as made with
00:09:18.07\00:09:21.37
hands which are copies
or figures of the true but
00:09:21.40\00:09:27.04
into heaven itself now to appear
00:09:27.35\00:09:29.51
in the presence of God for us."
00:09:29.54\00:09:31.13
What's the word that occurs in
verse 23 and 24? Copy or figure
00:09:31.16\00:09:36.31
or pattern,
depending on the translation
00:09:36.41\00:09:38.66
that you're reading from.
00:09:38.69\00:09:39.66
The idea is that when
Jesus Christ became our great
00:09:39.67\00:09:41.86
high priest, He entered the true
tabernacle, the one that God
00:09:41.89\00:09:45.73
had built and not
the one that Moses built
00:09:45.76\00:09:47.53
on the Sinai desert floor.
Are we all clear? Yes or no?
00:09:47.56\00:09:50.53
The larger picture that we're
trying to paint here is this:
00:09:50.56\00:09:54.96
this Israelite sanctuary
was a pattern, a copy, a model
00:09:54.99\00:09:59.45
of the true tabernacle that's
in heaven. If that makes sense
00:09:59.64\00:10:02.56
I want you to say "Amen". Amen!
00:10:02.59\00:10:03.68
The point is that this isn't
something that Moses dreamed up.
00:10:03.71\00:10:06.40
This was something that
God specifically commanded
00:10:06.43\00:10:10.39
and ordained to incredible
specificity and exactitude
00:10:10.52\00:10:14.29
to be constructed exactly
as He said. So far so good.
00:10:14.32\00:10:18.60
Sometimes we find Exodus
and Leviticus difficult to read
00:10:18.63\00:10:22.93
because Exodus and Leviticus
is basically a "how to" manual
00:10:22.96\00:10:26.18
for the sanctuary.
It's a "how to" manual,
00:10:26.21\00:10:29.31
how to conduct yourselves into
various rituals and ceremonies
00:10:29.34\00:10:33.18
that surrounded this
sanctuary, and the reason
00:10:33.21\00:10:36.13
that it's so specific...
00:10:36.16\00:10:37.79
Sometimes the details in
Leviticus are almost laboriously
00:10:37.82\00:10:40.14
difficult to read... is
that God wanted them carried out
00:10:40.17\00:10:43.13
in just a certain way.
If that's clear say "Amen".
00:10:43.16\00:10:47.32
You might be wondering
"Why? Is God an old fuddy-duddy.
00:10:47.53\00:10:51.68
It's His way or no way? Why
was God so specific about this?"
00:10:51.71\00:10:55.18
What we're going to discover is
that this sanctuary foreshadowed
00:10:55.21\00:11:00.11
Christ and the
plan of salvation.
00:11:00.14\00:11:02.80
This sanctuary
foreshadowed what?
00:11:02.83\00:11:04.77
Christ an the plan of salvation.
00:11:04.80\00:11:08.80
Keep you finger in Hebrews
because we're going to return.
00:11:09.14\00:11:11.93
I want to show you one
more verse to this effect.
00:11:11.96\00:11:13.74
It's in the book of
Acts. Go to Acts chapter 8.
00:11:13.77\00:11:20.08
Here we're going to find
the... actually Acts chapter 7.
00:11:20.45\00:11:32.74
Here we find Stephen
delivering his sermon
00:11:33.13\00:11:39.28
to the elders of Israel.
00:11:39.43\00:11:42.00
In Acts chapter 7, verse 44,
something very interesting here
00:11:42.27\00:11:46.46
that Stephen says just
before he's stoned: "Our fathers
00:11:46.49\00:11:53.39
have the tabernacle of
witness where in the wilderness,
00:11:53.68\00:11:58.51
as he appointed instructing
Moses to make it according
00:11:58.82\00:12:03.34
to the pattern
that he had seen."
00:12:03.57\00:12:06.23
Is it crystal clear
that this sanctuary was built
00:12:06.26\00:12:09.86
after a pattern that God
revealed to him? If that's clear
00:12:09.89\00:12:12.29
say "Amen".
00:12:12.32\00:12:13.29
There are other texts that could
be cited but that hopefully
00:12:13.51\00:12:15.27
gets us off the
ground. I'm going to go
00:12:15.30\00:12:16.79
to the book of Revelation,
chapter 11, the last verse 19.
00:12:16.82\00:12:31.70
John the Revelator saw the
ark in the heavenly temple.
00:12:32.04\00:12:37.97
Revelation chapter 11 verse 19.
00:12:38.29\00:12:40.86
It says: "Then the temple of God
was open in heaven and the ark
00:12:41.09\00:12:55.90
of His covenant was
seen in His temple."
00:12:56.24\00:12:59.97
If His temple is in heaven
and the ark is in the temple,
00:13:00.25\00:13:02.59
then where is the
ark? In heaven. It says:
00:13:02.62\00:13:05.63
"And there were thunderings
and lightnings and noises
00:13:05.66\00:13:08.48
and an
earthquake and great hail."
00:13:08.51\00:13:10.54
Here is the point. John in
heavenly vision saw a glimpse
00:13:10.57\00:13:14.69
of the heavenly
temple, the real deal.
00:13:14.72\00:13:17.84
This is the real McCoy,
this is the one after which
00:13:18.07\00:13:21.62
the sanctuary in the Sinai
desert floor was patterned.
00:13:21.65\00:13:25.49
John looks into heaven
and he sees the temple of God
00:13:25.52\00:13:28.89
and he must have been...Where
must have been looking in order
00:13:28.92\00:13:31.41
to see the ark?
Which of the compartments?
00:13:31.44\00:13:36.53
He must have been looking into
the most holy place and voila!
00:13:36.71\00:13:40.06
There's the ark of the covenant.
00:13:40.09\00:13:41.68
This helps us to see that
everything that was taking place
00:13:41.71\00:13:45.10
on the Sinai desert floor had a
purpose. Had a what? A purpose.
00:13:45.13\00:13:49.88
Let's go find out what
actually was taking place
00:13:49.91\00:13:52.82
in that sanctuary. I've given
you a place there, two places
00:13:52.85\00:13:56.41
to write out the
two primary services
00:13:56.44\00:13:59.49
that were carried out there,
in the Israelite sanctuary.
00:13:59.55\00:14:02.54
What we're going to discover
is these were a foreshadowing
00:14:02.57\00:14:05.98
of salvation, a
foreshadowing of Christ.
00:14:06.01\00:14:09.10
This sanctuary is all
about Jesus Christ. About who?
00:14:09.13\00:14:13.75
Jesus Christ.
00:14:13.97\00:14:15.43
The first service
is the daily service.
00:14:15.65\00:14:18.43
Let's go back to
Hebrews chapter 9.
00:14:18.46\00:14:23.49
Let's pick it up in verse 6.
00:14:27.29\00:14:38.53
The author of Hebrews says
this: "Now when these things
00:14:38.75\00:14:42.53
had thus been prepared,
the priests went always
00:14:42.56\00:14:46.37
into the first
part of the tabernacle,
00:14:46.62\00:14:48.80
performing the services."
They went how often? Always.
00:14:48.83\00:14:53.81
Hebrews chapter 9 verse
6: "Now when these things
00:14:54.04\00:14:56.93
had thus been prepared,
the priests went always (often)
00:14:56.96\00:14:59.83
into the first
part of the tabernacle,
00:14:59.86\00:15:01.59
performing the services."
Verse 7 "But into the second
00:15:01.62\00:15:03.73
part the high priest went alone
once a year not without blood."
00:15:03.76\00:15:12.65
That's a double negative "not
without blood" which would mean
00:15:12.94\00:15:15.63
"with blood", "which he offered
for himself and for the sins
00:15:15.66\00:15:20.05
of the people, committed in
ignorance." In verses 6 and 7
00:15:20.08\00:15:23.94
we have a very simple
articulation here of basically
00:15:23.97\00:15:28.90
much of Exodus and much
of Leviticus, and that is
00:15:29.21\00:15:30.88
that there were
two primary services:
00:15:30.91\00:15:33.41
the daily service and the yearly
service. The which service?
00:15:33.44\00:15:38.60
the daily and the yearly. Let's
walk through the daily service.
00:15:38.93\00:15:43.58
We'll make this very
simple so that we can all get
00:15:43.61\00:15:45.55
our fingers rapped around it.
00:15:45.58\00:15:46.97
You're an Israelite and you're
living there on the Sinai desert
00:15:47.00\00:15:50.92
or somewhere in the wilderness,
or perhaps later at the time
00:15:50.95\00:15:53.99
of one of the two temples
that had been constructed,
00:15:54.02\00:15:57.31
and you've committed
a sin and you know it.
00:15:57.34\00:16:00.43
Your job was to go get
a lamb. A what? A lamb.
00:16:00.46\00:16:05.72
There were various offerings
and I want to point out
00:16:06.11\00:16:08.69
that we're simplifying this so
that we all can get our fingers
00:16:08.72\00:16:10.43
rapped around it.
There is more specificity
00:16:10.46\00:16:12.13
but we're going to
keep it very simple here.
00:16:12.16\00:16:13.73
So you would go get a lamb
and you would bring that lamb
00:16:13.76\00:16:17.26
to the sanctuary. To
where? To the sanctuary.
00:16:17.29\00:16:20.77
And you would bring it
specifically to the gate
00:16:20.80\00:16:22.78
that entered into the courtyard.
00:16:22.81\00:16:24.64
There a priest would greet you.
00:16:24.67\00:16:26.69
Your job was to take
and confess your sins,
00:16:26.72\00:16:31.22
specifically your sin
onto the head of that lamb.
00:16:31.44\00:16:34.60
So far so good
everyone? Yes or no.
00:16:34.63\00:16:36.52
What would happen then is that
you would be handed a knife.
00:16:36.55\00:16:39.64
This must have been the
most terrible, difficult part
00:16:39.67\00:16:42.37
of the whole endeavor. You
then had to take that knife
00:16:42.40\00:16:46.66
and split the throat
of the lamb upon which
00:16:46.69\00:16:49.99
you would just confessed your
sin, and the lamb would be there
00:16:50.02\00:16:52.69
writhing in pain as it
would die, and as it would die
00:16:52.72\00:16:56.56
blood would come
dripping from its neck.
00:16:56.59\00:16:59.70
The priest would then
take a bowl, a receptacle,
00:16:59.73\00:17:02.54
hold it under the neck of the
lamb and catch some of the blood
00:17:02.57\00:17:06.65
that was flowing out.
00:17:06.68\00:17:08.47
You, as the sinner, guess
what you do next. Nothing.
00:17:08.85\00:17:14.03
You walk away.
00:17:14.30\00:17:16.19
You're forgiven. Can you
say "Amen"? You're forgiven.
00:17:16.49\00:17:20.79
But guess what? The process
of forgiveness has just begun.
00:17:20.83\00:17:25.52
And that's one
of the great glories
00:17:25.66\00:17:27.44
of the plan of salvation.
00:17:27.47\00:17:29.25
For us, for the sinner. We kneel
down in the evening, we say:
00:17:29.28\00:17:32.33
"Oh Lord, I got
angry at my wife.",
00:17:32.36\00:17:34.14
"Today I got
angry at my husband.",
00:17:34.17\00:17:35.14
"Today I cut somebody off
on traffic.", "Today I wasn't
00:17:35.15\00:17:38.07
totally honest
with a workmate.", etc.
00:17:38.10\00:17:39.51
We kneel down, we
confess and we get up and say:
00:17:39.54\00:17:41.80
"There it is! Hoo!
So glad I got that out!"
00:17:41.83\00:17:44.49
Beloved it's just not that
simple from God's perspective.
00:17:44.52\00:17:48.55
That's what the
sanctuary helps us to see
00:17:48.58\00:17:50.63
is that from God's perspective
sin is sticky business.
00:17:50.66\00:17:55.05
Sin is what? The supreme
object of God's love is sinners
00:17:55.21\00:18:02.09
but the supreme
object of God's hatred is sin
00:18:02.34\00:18:05.64
and God has to perform
this very difficult operation
00:18:05.67\00:18:08.88
where He separates the
supreme object of His love
00:18:08.91\00:18:10.82
from the supreme object of His
hatred. He has to separate them
00:18:10.85\00:18:14.35
and still keep
us alive and intact.
00:18:14.38\00:18:17.93
The sanctuary is a
picture of how difficult it is
00:18:18.17\00:18:21.97
to deal with this thing called
sin. You would have confessed
00:18:22.00\00:18:24.53
your sin there, onto the
lamb. The lamb was then slain,
00:18:24.56\00:18:27.41
the blood was caught,
and then the priest would go
00:18:27.44\00:18:29.99
into the holy place. Into
the where? The holy place.
00:18:30.02\00:18:34.84
And he would take some of
that blood and he would put it
00:18:35.17\00:18:37.30
onto the horns, these 4 horns,
that came up off of the altar
00:18:37.33\00:18:41.99
of incense.
00:18:42.02\00:18:42.99
Thus signifying that that guilt
had gone from you to the lamb,
00:18:43.30\00:18:50.12
to the blood, to the
sanctuary. Does that make sense?
00:18:50.59\00:18:55.11
Let's say that again. So
who did the guilt go from?
00:18:55.37\00:18:58.64
From you to the lamb, to
the blood, to the sanctuary
00:18:58.67\00:19:02.92
and you walk away forgiven but
God still has an issue on this
00:19:02.95\00:19:06.53
and namely sin.
00:19:06.56\00:19:08.83
It's important to recognize that
God could not have just said
00:19:09.05\00:19:12.95
to Adam and Eve in the garden:
"Well, you made a mistake,
00:19:12.98\00:19:15.40
I really wish you
hadn't done that but you know,
00:19:15.43\00:19:17.68
here is the sin, we'll
just lift up the old rug
00:19:17.71\00:19:18.85
of the Universe, sweep it under
there and let's try again."
00:19:18.88\00:19:23.40
When Adam and Eve sinned,
and whenever you and I sin,
00:19:23.43\00:19:26.98
it is though something
tangible, something palpable
00:19:27.01\00:19:29.66
comes into existence
that God has to deal with.
00:19:29.69\00:19:33.40
It's a little bit like
this radioactive material
00:19:33.43\00:19:37.13
that's created as a buy product
of all these nuclear reactions
00:19:37.16\00:19:40.21
and nuclear
energies. That stuff is created
00:19:40.24\00:19:42.56
and it has to be
dealt with so do with sin.
00:19:42.59\00:19:45.77
Something kind of comes
into existence in a very real,
00:19:45.80\00:19:49.48
substantive way, and what
God is saying here is that:
00:19:49.51\00:19:52.83
"Sure for you, you're forgiven,
you walk away, you're cleansed,
00:19:52.86\00:19:56.88
you are righteous in my sight
now because of the slain lamb
00:19:56.91\00:20:00.29
but that doesn't
make the sin go away.
00:20:00.32\00:20:02.20
The sin has to be dealt with."
00:20:02.23\00:20:03.20
Are we all in the
same page everyone?
00:20:03.21\00:20:05.63
The other day, my little
boy Jabe, and my youngest boy
00:20:05.66\00:20:08.51
decided to run around the
house with a marker because
00:20:08.55\00:20:11.36
he couldn't find
any paper and now I have
00:20:11.40\00:20:13.93
a chair and the
floor, the fire place
00:20:13.97\00:20:16.47
and the windowsill covered
with my boy's marker art.
00:20:17.46\00:20:21.92
And you say "Oh,
that's so cute." It's cutish.
00:20:22.20\00:20:24.77
Let's just put
it that way. Cutish.
00:20:24.80\00:20:27.96
I can reprimand my boy and I
can spank my boy and I can say:
00:20:28.19\00:20:31.64
"Jabe, we don't do those things,
there is a place for drawing."
00:20:31.67\00:20:34.82
But at the end of the day, after
he's received his punishment,
00:20:34.85\00:20:38.42
and he's running
back around the house,
00:20:38.45\00:20:39.95
playing like a little
schoolchild, guess what?
00:20:39.98\00:20:42.45
There's still a
marker all over my house.
00:20:42.48\00:20:45.37
Still something to be dealt
with even after the punishment
00:20:45.40\00:20:49.85
has been administered, and
even after he's off the hook
00:20:49.88\00:20:54.10
so to he'd sin.
Are we all clear?
00:20:54.13\00:20:56.06
You would confess your sins,
this was the daily service.
00:20:56.09\00:20:58.81
This was happening 359 days
out of the Hebrew calendar year.
00:20:58.84\00:21:02.80
There were 360 days in a Hebrew
calendar year and so 359 days
00:21:02.83\00:21:05.78
Israelites...and if you've
read the Old Testament you know
00:21:05.81\00:21:07.64
the Israelites were very
good sinners, isn't that true?
00:21:07.67\00:21:10.31
Almost as good as us.
00:21:10.34\00:21:12.69
That sin was going into
the Sanctuary. So far so good?
00:21:13.13\00:21:20.13
Which necessitated
the yearly service.
00:21:20.47\00:21:26.04
Before I get to the
yearly service let me says this:
00:21:26.32\00:21:31.19
John the Baptist
when he saw Jesus he said
00:21:31.42\00:21:34.12
"Behold the lamb of God
00:21:34.15\00:21:35.76
that takes away
the sin of the world."
00:21:35.79\00:21:38.02
The reason that that made
sense, "Behold the lamb of God",
00:21:38.05\00:21:41.20
was that the Jews understood
exactly was he was saying.
00:21:41.23\00:21:44.36
Oh, so He is the one to
whom all of those lambs pointed.
00:21:44.39\00:21:49.06
Look at Hebrews
chapter 10 verse 4.
00:21:49.39\00:21:55.91
It says: "Fot it is not
possible that the blood of bulls
00:21:56.24\00:22:03.23
and goats should take
away sin." It's not possible.
00:22:03.51\00:22:09.43
Look at verse 11: "And every
priest stands ministering daily
00:22:09.64\00:22:13.73
and offering repeatedly the
same sacrifices which can never
00:22:13.76\00:22:18.41
take away sin."
00:22:18.44\00:22:19.97
Do you see that? Yes or no?
00:22:20.21\00:22:22.51
These lambs that were slain, the
various animals that were slain
00:22:22.62\00:22:26.73
in the Old Testament sanctuary
service, did that blood ever
00:22:26.76\00:22:29.67
take away actual sin? No.
00:22:29.70\00:22:31.91
The significance of those
sacrifices was that they pointed
00:22:32.17\00:22:36.60
forward to Jesus' sacrifice
which could take away sin
00:22:36.63\00:22:41.97
as the altar of
Hebrews says once and for all.
00:22:42.20\00:22:45.92
And that's really the
author of Hebrews point.
00:22:45.95\00:22:47.81
He says basically I'll prove
to you, because there were many
00:22:47.84\00:22:50.63
Jewish Christians
that were sliding back
00:22:50.66\00:22:51.94
to these old sacrifices and he's
saying "Hey, it doesn't work.
00:22:51.97\00:22:57.14
It's only as a
reference or a pointing forward
00:22:57.43\00:23:00.44
to the sacrifice of Jesus.",
and he says "I'll prove you
00:23:00.47\00:23:02.90
that it doesn't work."
00:23:02.93\00:23:03.90
They have to do it over
and over and over again.
00:23:03.91\00:23:07.50
He says "If it's not working why
do they have to keep doing it?"
00:23:07.53\00:23:10.29
Does that make sense?
00:23:10.32\00:23:11.67
All of those sacrifices
pointed forward to Jesus,
00:23:11.70\00:23:13.92
and when John says "Behold
the lamb of God that takes away
00:23:13.95\00:23:16.81
the sin of the world." What
he's saying is "Here is the one
00:23:16.84\00:23:19.85
to whom all of those
sacrifices pointed." Amen? Amen!
00:23:19.88\00:23:24.35
That's incidentally why
you and I don't bring lambs
00:23:25.06\00:23:26.23
to church today.
00:23:26.26\00:23:27.84
There is a
sacrifice that has fully met
00:23:28.76\00:23:31.54
all of the just requirements of
a Holy God, and that sacrifice
00:23:31.57\00:23:35.23
was in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Amen?
00:23:35.26\00:23:37.08
It's totally useless now to
offer those various sacrifices.
00:23:37.11\00:23:41.12
Because God has been
totally satisfied, His justice
00:23:41.15\00:23:45.44
has been satisfied with the
sacrifice of true lamb of God,
00:23:45.72\00:23:50.24
Jesus Christ. Amen? Amen!
00:23:50.27\00:23:52.26
We move to the yearly service.
00:23:52.51\00:23:55.66
You have the daily service.
Day after day the sin's going
00:23:55.91\00:23:59.74
from the sinner to the lamb,
to the blood, to the sanctuary.
00:23:59.77\00:24:02.75
So into the sanctuary.
00:24:02.78\00:24:05.75
At the end of the year you've
got to clean the sanctuary up.
00:24:06.00\00:24:10.67
Just like I have to go clean up
that marker that my boy has done
00:24:10.70\00:24:13.21
all around my house.
00:24:13.24\00:24:14.75
What happens here is
that the high priest...Who?
00:24:14.78\00:24:19.36
The high priest would go
alone into the most holy place
00:24:19.61\00:24:27.15
with the blood of a
goat that had been killed.
00:24:27.40\00:24:31.75
We don't have the time to
go into all of the details
00:24:31.97\00:24:34.14
but you can read it
in Leviticus chapter 16.
00:24:34.17\00:24:36.60
I'll give it to you
in a brief overview here.
00:24:36.63\00:24:39.11
It's Leviticus chapter 16.
00:24:39.14\00:24:40.42
The high priest would go in with
this blood and he would take
00:24:40.45\00:24:44.15
this blood and he would
apply it to the mercy seat
00:24:44.18\00:24:47.15
of the ark of the covenant.
00:24:47.18\00:24:48.33
That is to say the cover
of the ark of the covenant
00:24:48.36\00:24:51.90
where the two cherubim were,
and that bright, shining light,
00:24:51.93\00:24:55.56
the Shekinah glory, and he
would apply that blood there
00:24:55.59\00:24:58.99
as a symbol of the
cleansing of the sanctuary
00:24:59.02\00:25:03.18
on the day of atonement.
Which means this is the day
00:25:03.44\00:25:07.94
that the sin has been
going in and now the sin
00:25:08.26\00:25:12.16
is going to go out and be
cleansed by the blood of Jesus
00:25:12.28\00:25:17.16
or what pointed
forward to the blood of Jesus.
00:25:17.46\00:25:19.97
So far so good everyone?
00:25:20.00\00:25:21.97
That was called
the day of atonement
00:25:22.21\00:25:23.84
because this was the day
when Israel would once again
00:25:23.87\00:25:27.43
be clean, be cleansed
ceremonially, ritually
00:25:27.46\00:25:31.66
in the sight of God, and God
would be at one with His people.
00:25:31.89\00:25:37.68
If that makes sense say "Amen".
00:25:37.95\00:25:39.97
The daily service-sin is going
in, the yearly service-sin is
00:25:40.00\00:25:43.64
going out and the
sanctuary is cleansed.
00:25:43.67\00:25:47.21
Go back to
Hebrews chapter 9, verse 6
00:25:47.44\00:25:52.21
This verse should
make much better sense now.
00:25:52.46\00:25:57.05
It says: "Now when these
things had thus been prepared
00:25:57.28\00:26:00.22
the priests went always into
the first part of the tabernacle
00:26:00.25\00:26:04.41
performing the service." Verse
7 "But into the second part..."
00:26:04.44\00:26:08.97
Who went? And how did he go?
Alone. How often? Once a year.
00:26:09.00\00:26:13.90
And what did he have? Which
he offered for who? "For himself
00:26:14.15\00:26:18.80
and for the sins of the people
committed in ignorance. Verse 8:
00:26:18.83\00:26:21.92
"the Holy Spirit
indicating that this was the way
00:26:21.95\00:26:23.58
into the holiest of all
which was not yet made manifest
00:26:23.61\00:26:26.36
while the first tabernacle was
standing." This is a reference
00:26:26.39\00:26:31.03
to Moses' tabernacle.
00:26:31.06\00:26:33.11
Very fascinating
here to note something.
00:26:33.41\00:26:35.70
Jesus was not only the
lamb, Jesus was the high priest.
00:26:35.73\00:26:41.69
That's why we say that the
whole sanctuary points to Jesus
00:26:41.93\00:26:45.15
and to the salvation offered
to us in Jesus Christ. Amen?
00:26:45.18\00:26:47.42
Very powerful.
00:26:47.45\00:26:48.55
Once again, I just
want to underscore here
00:26:48.58\00:26:50.66
God was not just giving
them something to keep them busy
00:26:50.69\00:26:53.48
in the wilderness. He wasn't
saying "What I'm I going to do
00:26:53.51\00:26:56.31
with all these people.
I've got to keep them busy,
00:26:56.34\00:26:57.71
I've got to keep them out of
trouble, I've got to keep them
00:26:57.74\00:26:58.71
off the streets." No.
00:26:58.72\00:27:00.15
He was trying to show them
salvation and how it works.
00:27:00.18\00:27:05.45
Here is Christ
and He is the lamb.
00:27:05.68\00:27:08.59
In fact you've got
Christ all over the sanctuary.
00:27:08.67\00:27:10.98
Christ is the bread and the Holy
Spirit is the seven branched
00:27:11.01\00:27:15.23
candlestick that's
constantly burning,
00:27:15.26\00:27:16.60
the prayers of the saints,
the incense wafting up over
00:27:16.63\00:27:18.99
in the most holy place.
You have the cherubim there
00:27:19.02\00:27:21.54
and the throne of
God, the ten commandments.
00:27:21.57\00:27:24.01
It's all about Jesus
Christ. Very powerful.
00:27:24.04\00:27:28.41
Jesus, our high priest,
entered into the true tabernacle
00:27:28.67\00:27:33.17
which the Lord
pitched and not man.
00:27:33.26\00:27:34.75
Didn't we read that already?
That's in chapter 8, verse1.
00:27:34.78\00:27:42.91
This is the main
point, we've already read this
00:27:43.19\00:27:45.79
but it should register now.
00:27:45.82\00:27:46.79
This is the main point of
the things that we were saying:
00:27:46.80\00:27:49.42
"We have a high priest who
is seated at the right hand
00:27:49.45\00:27:52.27
of the throne of the
majesty in heavens, the Minister
00:27:52.30\00:27:55.48
of the sanctuary and
of the true tabernacle
00:27:55.51\00:27:58.50
which the Lord
erected and not man."
00:27:58.53\00:28:01.34
Jesus entered into heaven
itself as our great, high priest
00:28:01.37\00:28:06.85
ministering in the
heavenly sanctuary,
00:28:07.10\00:28:09.22
and that is one
of the great themes
00:28:09.25\00:28:11.27
of the whole book of Hebrews.
00:28:11.30\00:28:12.94
What was happening
was many Jewish Christians
00:28:12.97\00:28:14.79
were backsliding into the old
system, they were backsliding
00:28:14.82\00:28:18.16
and going back to
the old offerings.
00:28:18.19\00:28:20.18
The author of Hebrews,
who I believe to be Paul,
00:28:20.21\00:28:22.57
basically was writing to them
saying "No. They had a covenant
00:28:22.60\00:28:25.62
we have a better
covenant, they have a temple
00:28:25.65\00:28:27.57
we have a better temple,
they had a high priest we have
00:28:27.60\00:28:29.65
a better high priest,
they had a sacrifice we have
00:28:29.68\00:28:31.33
a better sacrifice. It's all
about Jesus. There's no point
00:28:31.36\00:28:34.73
to be going backwards,
we should be going forwards
00:28:34.76\00:28:36.99
with the Lord.
00:28:37.02\00:28:38.97
Three compartments. Those three
compartments were not arbitrary,
00:28:39.89\00:28:45.03
they foreshadowed the
three fold ministry of Jesus
00:28:45.32\00:28:49.49
as lamb, as intercessor
and as carrying out judgment.
00:28:49.96\00:28:55.48
Very important to notice that.
00:28:55.86\00:28:58.11
In fact, if you wanted to divide
this up write this right there
00:28:58.14\00:29:01.24
on your little outline.
00:29:01.27\00:29:03.11
The plan of salvation,
00:29:03.25\00:29:04.33
as depicted in
the sanctuary service,
00:29:04.36\00:29:05.96
delivers us from the
three fold power of sin.
00:29:05.99\00:29:09.34
Sin has a three fold power
on your life and on my life
00:29:09.37\00:29:12.76
before we come to
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:29:12.79\00:29:14.70
When Jesus Christ died on the
cross, that was the equivalent
00:29:14.73\00:29:17.48
of dying in the courtyard.
00:29:17.51\00:29:19.32
He was the lamb that was
slain in the courtyard. Where?
00:29:19.35\00:29:23.15
When Jesus Christ died
on the cross He delivers us
00:29:23.18\00:29:25.64
from the penalty of sin
00:29:25.67\00:29:27.22
because He paid the
penalty on the cross.
00:29:27.25\00:29:28.71
Can you say "Amen"?
00:29:28.74\00:29:30.10
The wages of sin is
death and Jesus died our death
00:29:30.13\00:29:32.94
so that we can live His life.
00:29:32.97\00:29:35.72
In the second compartment of
the sanctuary power is given.
00:29:36.17\00:29:40.65
We say "power" because
you have there on the left
00:29:40.68\00:29:43.25
the 7 branched candlestick,
representing the Holy Spirit.
00:29:43.28\00:29:45.99
It was always
burning that marvelous flame.
00:29:46.02\00:29:48.03
On the right you have the bread.
00:29:48.06\00:29:49.90
The bread symbolizing Jesus
and particularly the Bible.
00:29:49.93\00:29:54.95
Isn't that what Jesus
said in John chapter 6 and 7?
00:29:55.20\00:29:57.82
He said "I am
the bread of life."
00:29:57.85\00:30:01.90
You have this analogy
of Jesus as the bread,
00:30:02.22\00:30:04.59
and the word is the bread,
and so we have the Holy Spirit
00:30:04.62\00:30:06.84
on the left, we have the Bible
on the right, the bread of life,
00:30:06.87\00:30:10.08
and then we have the altar of
incense representing the prayers
00:30:10.11\00:30:13.11
of the saints, the Bible says.
00:30:13.14\00:30:14.73
And so with prayer and
the Spirit and Bible study
00:30:14.76\00:30:18.31
we have power over
sin in our lives. Amen?
00:30:18.34\00:30:20.85
Watching Must See TV
does not get you power
00:30:20.88\00:30:23.10
over sin in your life.
00:30:23.13\00:30:24.78
But prayer and Bible study
and spending time in ministry
00:30:24.81\00:30:29.09
and with the Holy Spirit, that
does get you power in your life
00:30:29.12\00:30:31.43
over sin.
00:30:31.46\00:30:32.43
The cross gets us
victory over the penalty of sin,
00:30:32.68\00:30:34.85
the wages of sin is death.
00:30:34.88\00:30:36.68
The holy place gives us
the power to overcome sin.
00:30:36.71\00:30:39.69
But even if we have
victory over sin in our lives,
00:30:39.72\00:30:42.30
and I want to prays
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:30:42.33\00:30:44.10
that He can get
victory. Can you say "Amen"?
00:30:44.13\00:30:46.55
Prays His Holy Name! He doesn't
just say to the alcoholic
00:30:46.58\00:30:50.07
"IYou're forgiven." He
gives the alcoholic power
00:30:50.10\00:30:51.41
to stop being
an alcoholic. Amen?
00:30:51.44\00:30:53.41
He doesn't just say to
the abuser "I forgive you.",
00:30:53.44\00:30:55.54
He says "I'll give you the
power to be kind, to be gracious
00:30:55.57\00:30:58.84
to your spouse or
whoever you're abusing."
00:30:58.87\00:31:00.75
God promises victory
not just forgiveness. Amen?
00:31:00.78\00:31:04.97
What good would that be
to bring only forgiveness
00:31:05.24\00:31:07.76
and not victory?
00:31:07.79\00:31:09.31
When our heart is transformed,
when our life is changed
00:31:09.64\00:31:12.97
we don't want to continue
to wallow in the vomit of sin.
00:31:13.00\00:31:15.54
We don't want to continue
to wallow in the manure of sin.
00:31:15.57\00:31:18.43
We want out!
00:31:18.46\00:31:20.04
This is way it says in
Mathew chapter 1, verse 21 that
00:31:20.33\00:31:23.04
they will call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people
00:31:23.07\00:31:26.06
from their sins.
00:31:26.09\00:31:27.91
It doesn't say that He will
just save them from the penalty
00:31:28.18\00:31:30.13
of their sins, but that He will
save them from the sin itself.
00:31:30.16\00:31:34.82
Are we all together?
00:31:34.85\00:31:36.49
Even if we have victory over the
power of sin into certain areas
00:31:36.59\00:31:40.48
of our lives, we still
live in a sinful world.
00:31:40.51\00:31:44.30
We are still surrounded
by the presence of sin.
00:31:44.33\00:31:47.00
Are we all together on that?
00:31:47.03\00:31:48.64
On the day of atonement it
symbolizes that final judgment
00:31:48.67\00:31:52.02
when sin was wiped
out of the sanctuary
00:31:52.05\00:31:54.59
and all of God's people were
clean, the sanctuary was clean,
00:31:54.62\00:31:57.79
God of course has
always been clean,
00:31:57.82\00:31:59.38
and now God and His people
are at one with one another.
00:31:59.41\00:32:04.50
The cross from the penalty,
the intersession of Jesus
00:32:04.75\00:32:07.22
and the holy place from the
power and His judgment ministry
00:32:07.25\00:32:10.97
and the most holy
place of the sanctuary
00:32:11.00\00:32:13.06
from the very presence
of sin. Can you say "Amen"?
00:32:13.09\00:32:15.84
Very powerful! I wish I
had more time to go into that
00:32:15.87\00:32:17.98
but I just don't.
00:32:18.01\00:32:19.30
Turn the page there
in your study guide.
00:32:19.33\00:32:21.60
The key that unlocks
the judgment is found
00:32:21.63\00:32:23.68
in the Israelite sanctuary.
00:32:23.71\00:32:25.24
The cleansing of the
sanctuary was a day of judgment
00:32:25.27\00:32:27.66
which symbolizes
the final judgment.
00:32:27.69\00:32:30.26
Think of it this way.
00:32:30.29\00:32:31.56
Your sin could not be
taken out of the sanctuary
00:32:31.59\00:32:35.56
if it had never gone
in. Does that make sense?
00:32:35.67\00:32:39.54
The only sins that were
cleansed on the day of atonement
00:32:39.87\00:32:47.04
were the ones that
have been confessed
00:32:47.30\00:32:48.93
in one of the other 359 days
of the year and had gone in.
00:32:48.96\00:32:52.44
Does that make sense?
00:32:52.47\00:32:53.80
If you have been rebellious
against God and you said
00:32:53.83\00:32:55.56
"Well, this all
sanctuary - shmanctuary thing."
00:32:55.59\00:32:58.35
At the end of the year when
God is at one with His people
00:32:58.38\00:33:01.21
the Bible says
"You are cut off."
00:33:01.24\00:33:04.00
Symbolizing the final judgment.
00:33:04.18\00:33:05.69
That's why the people in the
Old Testament, the Israelites,
00:33:05.72\00:33:08.44
where outside of that
sanctuary while the high priest
00:33:08.47\00:33:10.82
was in the very presence of God.
00:33:10.85\00:33:14.04
We are told that in the garment
that the high priest wore
00:33:14.31\00:33:18.21
there were little
pomegranate bells around the hem
00:33:18.24\00:33:19.97
of his garment so that they
could hear him moving around
00:33:20.00\00:33:22.85
doing his various things,
00:33:22.88\00:33:24.25
because he was going
into the presence of God,
00:33:24.28\00:33:27.45
between the cherubim,
and it said that if he had
00:33:27.48\00:33:29.79
any unconfessed sin in his
own life he'd die on the spot.
00:33:29.82\00:33:34.57
and they'd tie a
rope around his leg.
00:33:34.66\00:33:36.76
They'd drag him out because
you couldn't go in there.
00:33:36.79\00:33:41.04
Only the high priest could
go in there because only Jesus
00:33:41.07\00:33:44.23
can go into the
presence of God on our behalf,
00:33:44.26\00:33:46.82
as pointing forward to that.
00:33:46.85\00:33:48.32
This was serious stuff.
00:33:48.35\00:33:51.83
This wasn't religious
games. This was serious stuff.
00:33:52.10\00:33:55.17
It symbolized the day
of judgment because nothing
00:33:55.20\00:33:57.10
could come out of there that
hadn't first gone into there.
00:33:57.13\00:34:01.21
We go to the back page.
00:34:01.24\00:34:03.19
The imagery ceremonies and
drama of the heavenly sanctuary
00:34:03.40\00:34:07.16
pointed to Jesus. In
fact Jesus was the very heart
00:34:07.19\00:34:11.99
of this sanctuary.
00:34:12.28\00:34:13.75
Jump down to the
three compartments
00:34:13.78\00:34:15.64
and the three phases.
00:34:15.67\00:34:16.79
The altar represented the cross.
00:34:16.82\00:34:20.06
The holy place
represents the intersession,
00:34:20.09\00:34:23.53
the mediation of Jesus.
00:34:23.58\00:34:25.93
Most holy place-judgment.
00:34:26.16\00:34:29.94
You have
deliverance from the penalty,
00:34:30.24\00:34:34.63
deliverance from the power and
deliverance from the presence.
00:34:34.87\00:34:38.68
Let's say it together: have
deliverance from the penalty
00:34:38.71\00:34:42.14
and the power and
the presence. Excellent!
00:34:42.17\00:34:49.21
Let's go to our
next study guide.
00:34:49.51\00:34:52.35
Let's pick it up. We're going
to jump to the second page.
00:34:52.41\00:35:00.17
Second study guide. Here we go.
00:35:00.45\00:35:03.88
I'll put this up again
tomorrow but I want you to see
00:35:04.17\00:35:08.66
how these visions lay
right beside one another
00:35:08.76\00:35:11.96
in very beautiful
systematic fashion.
00:35:11.99\00:35:16.07
Daniel chapter 2. Babylon,
Medopersia, Greece, Rome,
00:35:16.32\00:35:19.68
and the second coming.
00:35:19.71\00:35:21.46
Head of gold,
chest and arms of silver,
00:35:21.49\00:35:22.98
belly and thighs of bronze, long
legs of iron and then divided
00:35:23.01\00:35:26.56
Rome down at the bottom
and the stone would strike
00:35:26.59\00:35:28.59
the image and the whole thing
would smash to smithereens.
00:35:28.62\00:35:30.90
That stone grows and
becomes a great mountain.
00:35:30.93\00:35:33.76
In Daniel 7 we review
and enlarge, remember?
00:35:33.79\00:35:37.79
We see the Babylon beast which
is the lion with eagle's wings
00:35:38.01\00:35:40.64
followed by Medopersia
represented by the bear
00:35:40.67\00:35:42.35
that was raised up
one side 3 ribs and mouth.
00:35:42.38\00:35:45.55
What would this have
to do with the sanctuary?
00:35:45.58\00:35:47.10
You'll see in just a moment.
00:35:47.13\00:35:48.20
Greece was the fore headed
leopard, moving very rapidly,
00:35:48.23\00:35:50.42
very fast, then pagan Rome
was that beast with 10 horns.
00:35:50.45\00:35:54.89
Out of those 10
horns came a little horn.
00:35:54.92\00:35:57.51
What happened after that?
00:35:57.54\00:35:59.53
We saw that sequence 3 times
in Daniel 7: Rome, little horn
00:35:59.59\00:36:05.10
and then judgment. Then
we went to Daniel chapter 8.
00:36:05.34\00:36:08.44
We saw a ram. The ram
represented Medopersia
00:36:08.47\00:36:12.07
that became great.
00:36:12.27\00:36:14.18
The goat represented
Greece, which became very great,
00:36:14.41\00:36:18.42
the Bible says.
00:36:18.45\00:36:19.69
Then there was that little
horn representing both the pagan
00:36:19.89\00:36:23.16
and the little horn phases,
the Papal phases of Rome.
00:36:23.19\00:36:26.94
It says that it
became exceedingly great.
00:36:26.97\00:36:31.51
The ram is great, the goat was
very great and the little horn
00:36:31.75\00:36:37.83
was exceedingly great.
Some people have tried to say
00:36:38.08\00:36:40.72
the little horn in Daniel 8 is
a Seleucid king by the name of
00:36:40.75\00:36:44.95
Antiochus Epiphanies, but it's
very hard to reconcile that.
00:36:44.98\00:36:48.23
Antiochus Epiphanes was the man
who ruled for 12 years in Syria
00:36:48.26\00:36:52.05
and here you have this
progression from great,
00:36:52.08\00:36:54.96
Medopersia, to very great,
Greece, to exceedingly great,
00:36:54.99\00:36:58.62
this little horn,
and Antiochus was nothing
00:36:58.65\00:37:01.26
compared to Alexander the Great,
00:37:01.29\00:37:03.40
much less the
whole Macedonian Empire.
00:37:03.43\00:37:05.94
Whoever this is, it
has to be very great
00:37:05.97\00:37:09.03
in the scope of history.
Has to be what? Very great!
00:37:09.06\00:37:14.09
We see here exactly what
we would expect in Daniel 7.
00:37:14.37\00:37:17.65
Pagan Rome, the little horn,
and the next thing that we saw
00:37:17.68\00:37:20.65
in Daniel chapter 8 was
the cleansing of the sanctuary
00:37:20.68\00:37:23.72
which corresponds with
the judgment, the next thing
00:37:23.75\00:37:27.18
is the second coming.
00:37:27.21\00:37:28.51
You have these prophecies
that lay down every time
00:37:28.54\00:37:31.53
God's reviewing and
then He's enlarging.
00:37:31.56\00:37:35.03
Go to Daniel chapter
8. We're going to hustle
00:37:35.24\00:37:39.71
but we're going to
do it by His grace.
00:37:39.91\00:37:44.69
Daniel chapter 8. I lot of this
you can fill in on your own.
00:37:44.91\00:37:52.37
We've already been over quite a
bit of this as a matter of fact.
00:37:52.62\00:37:55.70
Jump down to the
bottom of page two.
00:37:55.73\00:37:59.31
But first look
at Daniel chapter 8.
00:37:59.58\00:38:02.51
Daniel hears this little
horn speaking blasphemies words,
00:38:02.55\00:38:06.03
making war against
God's people, God's Son.
00:38:06.06\00:38:08.45
I think we have that slide here.
00:38:08.48\00:38:11.67
The little horn attacked
God's people, God's Son,
00:38:11.90\00:38:17.00
God's sanctuary, God's truth.
00:38:17.20\00:38:19.65
Remember that transition
we saw in Daniel chapter 7?
00:38:19.87\00:38:23.45
It was this predatorial
beast, but in Daniel chapter 8
00:38:23.48\00:38:26.33
it switches to a ram and a
goat, which were clean beasts,
00:38:26.36\00:38:31.50
sanctuary beasts.
00:38:31.71\00:38:32.68
Immediately the mind is
drawn to this sanctuary.
00:38:32.69\00:38:35.52
You have in Daniel chapter
8, verse 14: "And he said to me
00:38:35.55\00:38:41.96
for 2300 days then the
sanctuary will be cleansed."
00:38:42.21\00:38:48.70
Daniel basically wanted to
know how long is this garbage
00:38:48.93\00:38:52.55
going to go on, this
little horn making war
00:38:52.58\00:38:54.77
against God's people, God's Son,
00:38:54.80\00:38:55.77
God's sanctuary, God's truth.
00:38:55.78\00:38:57.07
Then he overhears two
angels talking and one says:
00:38:57.10\00:38:59.26
"How long" and the other says
"2300 days, then the sanctuary
00:38:59.29\00:39:03.30
will be cleansed."
Now you know what it means
00:39:03.33\00:39:05.42
"the sanctuary
will be cleansed".
00:39:05.45\00:39:06.62
The final judgment.
00:39:06.65\00:39:07.77
Verse 15: "Then it happened when
I, Daniel, had see the vision
00:39:07.80\00:39:12.03
I was seeking the meaning and
suddenly there stood before me
00:39:12.06\00:39:14.29
one having the appearance
of a man." This is Gabrielle.
00:39:14.32\00:39:16.99
Verse 16: "And I heard a
man's voice between the banks
00:39:17.02\00:39:19.90
of the Ulai, who called and
said 'Gabrielle, make this man
00:39:19.93\00:39:23.44
understand the vision.'"
Look at that word "understand".
00:39:23.47\00:39:27.63
Verse 17: "So it came near
where I stood and when he came
00:39:27.66\00:39:31.01
I was afraid and I fell
on my face and he said to me
00:39:31.04\00:39:34.22
'Understand son of man, for
your vision refers to the time
00:39:34.25\00:39:37.43
of the end'. The vision
refers to when? Time of the end.
00:39:37.46\00:39:41.20
Did Daniel
understand the vision? No.
00:39:41.23\00:39:43.84
Gabrielle comes to
explain it to him in two times:
00:39:43.87\00:39:46.45
"I want you to understand,
I want you to understand."
00:39:46.48\00:39:49.95
He tries to explain but Daniel
ends up fainting. Verse 26.
00:39:49.98\00:39:54.93
Gabrielle speaking: "And
the vision of the evenings and
00:39:55.29\00:39:58.21
the mornings thus the 2300
days, which was told is true
00:39:58.24\00:40:02.66
therefore seal the
vision for it belongs to
00:40:02.69\00:40:05.63
many days in the
future." Look at verse 27.
00:40:05.66\00:40:07.78
"And I, Daniel, fainted and I
was sick for days, after I arose
00:40:07.81\00:40:13.27
and was about the king's
business, I was astonished
00:40:13.48\00:40:15.37
by the vision, but
no one understood it."
00:40:15.40\00:40:17.89
Did Daniel understand it? No.
00:40:17.92\00:40:20.24
Here is what happens. Then we
transition to Daniel chapter 9.
00:40:20.35\00:40:25.17
At the bottom of
the study guide, page 2.
00:40:25.20\00:40:28.51
"Putting the pieces
together", Daniel 9,
00:40:28.54\00:40:30.00
in the explanation of
the vision. Are we all there?
00:40:30.03\00:40:33.57
In Daniel 9 we find
Daniel seeking to understand
00:40:33.60\00:40:37.30
the troubling
vision of Daniel 8.
00:40:37.33\00:40:40.00
He seeks the Lord in
prayer and supplication.
00:40:40.03\00:40:42.43
Verse 4 to 19 record
one of the most powerful
00:40:42.46\00:40:45.06
and beautiful prayers
in all over the Bible.
00:40:45.09\00:40:47.00
In the middle of the
prayer the angel Gabrielle comes
00:40:47.03\00:40:49.52
to answer Daniel's prayer.
00:40:49.55\00:40:50.98
The answer is found in the
form of the angel explaining
00:40:51.01\00:40:53.48
the meaning of the troubling
vision of Daniel chapter 8.
00:40:53.51\00:40:56.07
The vision of Daniel had
to do with the pompous words
00:40:56.10\00:40:58.82
in the wars of the
antichrist, the little horn.
00:40:58.85\00:41:02.06
These words in wars called
to session the heavenly court
00:41:02.09\00:41:04.83
for the purpose of judgment
and vindication of God's people
00:41:04.86\00:41:07.51
who had been wrongly
accused by the Roman church.
00:41:07.54\00:41:10.24
The terrible record of
this power is doubly compounded
00:41:10.27\00:41:13.23
by the fact that it carried
out all of its persecutions
00:41:13.26\00:41:16.38
and blasphemies in the
name of God. Turn the page.
00:41:16.41\00:41:22.86
Here is Daniel. Daniel
does not understand the vision
00:41:23.07\00:41:29.12
and he begins to pray.
What does he begin to do? Pray.
00:41:29.39\00:41:33.09
"Oh God, I don't understand
the vision. I need You"
00:41:33.12\00:41:35.04
to explain it to me." You
can see some of that prayer
00:41:35.07\00:41:41.34
beginning in verse one.
00:41:41.57\00:41:43.11
"In the first year of
Darius, the son of Ahasuerus,
00:41:43.14\00:41:47.02
of Median
descent, who was made king
00:41:47.05\00:41:48.43
over the kingdom of the
Chaldeans, in the first year
00:41:48.46\00:41:50.71
of his reign, I,
Daniel, observed in the books
00:41:50.74\00:41:52.41
the number of the
years which was revealed
00:41:52.44\00:41:54.28
as the word of the
LORD to Jeremiah the prophet
00:41:54.31\00:41:56.24
for the completion of the
desolations of Jerusalem,"
00:41:56.27\00:41:59.12
Jeremiah had said in his
scroll that Israel would go
00:41:59.15\00:42:02.34
into captivity, Judah would
go into captivity for 70 years.
00:42:02.37\00:42:05.42
Daniel had been into captivity
for 70 years at this point
00:42:05.45\00:42:08.78
and so he's seeking, he's doing
what you and I should be doing,
00:42:08.81\00:42:10.89
we should study our Bibles,
and he says "I understood it."
00:42:10.92\00:42:14.52
Look at verse 3: "So I gave
my attention to the Lord God
00:42:14.55\00:42:18.27
to seek Him by prayer and
supplications, with fasting,
00:42:18.30\00:42:20.25
sackcloth and ashes. I prayed
to the LORD my God and confessed
00:42:20.28\00:42:23.96
and said, "Alas, O Lord,
the great and awesome God,
00:42:23.99\00:42:25.99
who keeps His
covenant and loving kindness
00:42:26.02\00:42:27.90
for those who love Him
and keep His commandments,
00:42:27.93\00:42:30.08
we have sinned,
committed iniquity,
00:42:30.11\00:42:33.19
acted wickedly and
rebelled, even turning aside
00:42:33.39\00:42:36.44
from Your
commandments and ordinances.
00:42:36.47\00:42:38.42
Moreover, we have not listened
to Your servants the prophets,
00:42:38.45\00:42:41.09
who spoke in Your name
to our kings, our princes,
00:42:41.12\00:42:42.91
our fathers and all
the people of the land."
00:42:42.94\00:42:44.85
Verse 11: "Indeed all Israel
has transgressed Your law"
00:42:44.88\00:42:51.39
And the whole prayer
goes down through verse 19.
00:42:51.69\00:42:53.68
It's one of the longest
and most beautiful prayers
00:42:53.71\00:42:55.65
in all the Bible.
00:42:55.68\00:42:56.65
Daniel is pouring his heart
out to God: "God we blew it.
00:42:56.68\00:43:00.29
We know now why you let the
Babylonians come and destroy
00:43:00.32\00:43:02.99
our city and take
us here into captivity.
00:43:03.02\00:43:05.04
It's because we disobeyed
You, we broke Your covenant.
00:43:05.07\00:43:08.07
Oh God, have mercy on
us. In Jeremiah you said
00:43:08.10\00:43:10.27
it would only last for 70 years,
the 70 years is almost done.
00:43:10.30\00:43:12.92
I'm an old man now,
I came here as a boy.
00:43:12.95\00:43:16.18
Please!"
00:43:16.21\00:43:17.32
At the end of that
prayer guess who comes back?
00:43:17.58\00:43:21.21
Gabrielle comes
back. Look at verse 20.
00:43:21.24\00:43:23.53
"Now while I was speaking and
praying, and confessing my sin
00:43:23.56\00:43:27.38
and the sin of my people Israel,
00:43:27.41\00:43:29.77
and presenting my supplication
before the LORD my God
00:43:29.80\00:43:32.70
in behalf of the
holy mountain of my God,
00:43:32.73\00:43:34.06
while I was still speaking in
prayer, then the man Gabrielle,
00:43:34.09\00:43:37.67
whom I had seen in
the vision previously,
00:43:37.70\00:43:39.76
came to me in my
extreme weariness
00:43:39.79\00:43:41.39
about the time of
the evening offering."
00:43:41.42\00:43:43.32
Verse 22 and notice the
first thing that Gabrielle says:
00:43:43.35\00:43:48.13
"O Daniel, I have now come forth
00:43:48.44\00:43:50.74
to give you insight
with understanding." Exactly!
00:43:50.77\00:43:55.02
That's what we'd expect.
00:43:55.26\00:43:56.61
Because we end
Daniel. Does he understand?
00:43:56.64\00:43:59.47
No, he doesn't understand
but does he want to understand?
00:43:59.50\00:44:01.72
He is pouring his heart out
to God and Gabrielle shows up
00:44:01.75\00:44:04.16
and the first thing he says is:
00:44:04.19\00:44:05.29
"I've come to
help you understand."
00:44:05.32\00:44:08.41
Understand what? The
vision that he had just seen
00:44:08.65\00:44:12.00
of these 2300 long years. A day
in the Bible prophecy is a year.
00:44:12.03\00:44:16.84
Gabrielle comes and says:
"I'm going to help you to get it
00:44:16.87\00:44:19.15
and don't faint this time."
00:44:19.18\00:44:21.41
You're still there
in your study guide.
00:44:21.67\00:44:26.23
Can you keep up with me?
00:44:26.92\00:44:28.96
We're on page 3.
You're doing a great job.
00:44:29.12\00:44:31.39
Take a breath. Here we go.
00:44:31.42\00:44:33.44
Top of page 3. You're
getting it, I can tell that.
00:44:33.47\00:44:37.40
It is imperative
to remember that a day
00:44:37.43\00:44:40.35
in end time Bible
prophecy represents a year
00:44:40.38\00:44:43.80
of actual literal time.
00:44:43.83\00:44:44.85
Not only are beasts,
horns, women, water symbolic,
00:44:44.88\00:44:48.56
so is time in time prophecy.
00:44:48.59\00:44:50.49
As we learned last
lesson the vision of Daniel 8,
00:44:50.52\00:44:52.65
the 2300 days extends all the
way down to the distant future,
00:44:52.68\00:44:56.76
according to the
NIV Version Daniel 8,26.
00:44:56.79\00:44:59.40
As the angel returned to
explain the 2300 days vision
00:44:59.43\00:45:02.92
he begins by telling
Daniel of another time period.
00:45:02.95\00:45:06.80
This period would
last 70 prophetic weeks
00:45:06.83\00:45:11.28
or 490 prophetic days.
00:45:11.49\00:45:14.41
70 prophetic weeks
or 490 prophetic days.
00:45:14.65\00:45:19.36
How did we get 490? 70
times 7. So far so good.
00:45:19.66\00:45:24.42
You're getting it.
00:45:24.78\00:45:26.28
According to the angel
Gabrielle this was a time period
00:45:26.31\00:45:28.86
specifically eluded
to the Jewish nation.
00:45:28.89\00:45:32.45
Let's go back to the Bible.
00:45:32.78\00:45:34.84
I want you to see
this. Verse 23, Daniel 9,23.
00:45:34.87\00:45:38.37
We're going to get
this by the grace of God.
00:45:38.40\00:45:41.35
"As soon as you began to
pray, an answer was given,
00:45:41.38\00:45:45.56
which I have come to tell you,"
00:45:45.59\00:45:47.27
Gabrielle speaking to Daniel,
00:45:47.30\00:45:49.22
for you are highly esteemed.
Therefore, consider the message
00:45:49.25\00:45:52.88
and understand the
vision." Two time he says it.
00:45:52.91\00:45:55.35
"Understand it, understand
it. I really want you to."
00:45:55.38\00:45:58.95
Here is the
explanation, verse 24.
00:45:58.98\00:46:01.00
First words out
of Gabrielle's mouth
00:46:01.03\00:46:02.96
when it comes to the
actual explanation. Verse 24.
00:46:02.99\00:46:06.83
"Seventy weeks are
determined for your people
00:46:06.86\00:46:10.44
and your holy
city." How many weeks?
00:46:10.63\00:46:13.45
70, are determined for who?
your people and your holy city."
00:46:13.48\00:46:18.24
Who's Daniel people? Israel.
00:46:18.27\00:46:21.31
Wasn't he crying out and
saying "Oh, Israel has sinned."
00:46:21.56\00:46:24.14
Gabrielle shows up and says:
00:46:24.17\00:46:25.74
"Seventy weeks are for
your people and your city."
00:46:25.77\00:46:29.32
What city would
that be? Jerusalem.
00:46:29.35\00:46:32.21
Let's go to our guide.
00:46:32.47\00:46:34.69
The angel Gabrielle returns,
he begins by telling Daniel
00:46:34.93\00:46:37.37
of another time period, a
period of 70 prophetic weeks.
00:46:37.40\00:46:40.92
This time period is the key
to understanding the 2300 days.
00:46:40.95\00:46:44.66
You say "How do you know that?"
00:46:44.69\00:46:46.54
It's a piece of cake.
00:46:46.57\00:46:49.53
he's asking for understanding,
Gabrielle comes back and says
00:46:49.81\00:46:52.25
"I'm going to help you to
understand. Sit down Daniel,
00:46:52.28\00:46:54.59
put your schoolboys cap on,
I'm going to help you understand
00:46:54.62\00:46:57.22
this vision." And the
first thing he says is:
00:46:57.25\00:46:58.34
"Seventy weeks of this are for
your people." So far so good?
00:46:58.37\00:47:02.62
Pretty simple really.
00:47:02.65\00:47:03.96
"Seventy weeks are
determined for your people."
00:47:03.99\00:47:05.69
There is a list
of 6 things here,
00:47:05.72\00:47:07.02
you can write them all down
later. There're all in verse 24.
00:47:07.05\00:47:09.85
Everyone of these
comes from verse 24.
00:47:09.88\00:47:11.74
It says: "Seventy weeks
are determined for your people"
00:47:11.77\00:47:15.03
I'll come right
back to that slide.
00:47:15.06\00:47:17.25
You've got 6 things
needed to be accomplished
00:47:17.28\00:47:19.62
during these 70 weeks
and there're all in verse 24.
00:47:19.65\00:47:22.51
Seventy weeks are determined
for your people, number one:
00:47:22.54\00:47:25.44
to finish the transgression,
number 2: to make an end sins,
00:47:25.47\00:47:27.65
number 3: to make
reconciliation for iniquity,
00:47:27.68\00:47:29.93
number 4: to bring in
everlasting righteousness,
00:47:29.96\00:47:32.13
number 5: to seal up
the vision and prophecy,
00:47:32.16\00:47:34.01
number 6: to
anoint the Most Holy.
00:47:34.04\00:47:36.63
All of them right
there you can write them in.
00:47:36.66\00:47:39.42
Everyone of them
comes from verse 24.
00:47:39.45\00:47:41.64
So far, does the
vision make sense?
00:47:41.67\00:47:44.02
Gabrielle
basically shows up, says:
00:47:44.05\00:47:45.75
"I've come to explain the 2300
days. Seventy weeks are cut off
00:47:45.78\00:47:50.10
for your people."
00:47:50.13\00:47:51.37
Seventy weeks are
cut off for the Jews,
00:47:51.40\00:47:53.30
in which period of time
6 things have to happen.
00:47:53.33\00:47:57.19
How many things?
00:47:57.22\00:47:59.20
By the way, you know for a fact
that a day in Bible prophecy
00:47:59.45\00:48:02.78
equals a year.
00:48:02.81\00:48:04.24
Because 70 weeks would be
00:48:04.45\00:48:06.51
not even a year and
a half in real time.
00:48:06.59\00:48:10.02
52 days in a year? So 70
weeks is a year and a half.
00:48:10.25\00:48:14.03
Can all of that happen
in a year and a half? No.
00:48:14.06\00:48:16.69
In fact will see
that in just a moment.
00:48:16.72\00:48:18.17
The prophecy itself demands that
we're talking a day for a year.
00:48:18.20\00:48:23.51
A day for a what? A year.
00:48:23.78\00:48:25.32
From Daniel's perspective,
he's already been in captivity
00:48:25.35\00:48:28.74
for almost 70 years.
00:48:28.77\00:48:29.74
If Gabrielle shows up and says
"Ohoo, only 70 weeks to go!"
00:48:29.75\00:48:33.97
This would have been cause
for celebration not for concern.
00:48:34.00\00:48:37.39
He says "Seventy weeks
are cut off for your people."
00:48:37.42\00:48:39.98
Seventy weeks for
Jews, 6 things to accomplish.
00:48:40.01\00:48:43.30
If this makes sense I
want you to say "Amen".
00:48:43.33\00:48:46.20
We're still there
in our study guide.
00:48:46.23\00:48:48.77
Judgment fall in
70 AD when Jerusalem
00:48:48.80\00:48:52.42
was sack by the Roman army.
00:48:52.66\00:48:54.72
Verse 25 gives us a starting
point for these time prophecies.
00:48:54.75\00:48:58.45
Let's go back to the slide.
00:48:58.48\00:49:00.00
This is what we know so far.
00:49:00.03\00:49:01.95
The 70 weeks are 490 years and
he says 70 weeks or 490 years
00:49:01.98\00:49:06.96
was the time eluded
for the Jewish nation.
00:49:06.99\00:49:08.99
That's what we know so far.
00:49:09.02\00:49:10.96
Any questions?
That's pretty simple.
00:49:10.99\00:49:13.49
Look at verse 25.
00:49:13.52\00:49:15.84
"Know therefore..."
What's the word? "Understand".
00:49:16.26\00:49:20.20
That word comes up again
and again in Daniel 8 and 9.
00:49:20.44\00:49:23.86
"Know therefore and understand
that from the going forth
00:49:23.89\00:49:27.90
to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem until the Messiah",
00:49:27.93\00:49:36.67
who's Messiah the
Prince? Jesus Christ.
00:49:36.88\00:49:38.31
The word "Meshia", "Messiah" and
"Hristos" are the same words,
00:49:38.34\00:49:43.34
they mean "anointed".
00:49:43.58\00:49:45.33
From the going
forth of the command,
00:49:45.69\00:49:48.69
the restoration of Jerusalem,
to the Anointed Prince will be
00:49:48.83\00:49:54.14
"seven weeks
and sixty two weeks.
00:49:54.40\00:49:57.58
The street shall be
built again and the wall,
00:49:57.85\00:50:00.07
even in troublesome times."
00:50:00.10\00:50:02.12
Sixty-two plus
seven is what? Sixty-nine.
00:50:02.15\00:50:07.28
Basically here is what he says:
00:50:07.55\00:50:09.31
"Seventy weeks are
cut off for your people."
00:50:09.34\00:50:10.76
Then he gives us
a starting point.
00:50:10.79\00:50:12.34
From the command to restore and
rebuild Jerusalem, to the time
00:50:12.37\00:50:17.80
of the Messiah is 69 weeks.
If that makes sense say "Amen".
00:50:18.09\00:50:22.27
Jerusalem and the temple
were destroyed at this point
00:50:22.30\00:50:26.42
and what's going to happen is
that Babylon is going to become
00:50:26.45\00:50:29.21
Medopersia, and the you
can go read about it in Ezra,
00:50:29.24\00:50:33.30
what would happen is
that God moved upon the heart
00:50:33.33\00:50:39.32
of the king there in
Persia to let the Jews go back
00:50:39.59\00:50:43.52
to their home land
and rebuild the temple.
00:50:43.55\00:50:46.29
Isn't that powerful?
00:50:46.32\00:50:47.63
He says from the going
forth, when that decree came
00:50:47.66\00:50:49.98
and it came from a
man named Artaxerxes.
00:50:50.01\00:50:52.70
You can read all
about it in Ezra chapter 7.
00:50:52.73\00:50:55.54
You say "Is his name
Artaxerxes?". It really is.
00:50:55.57\00:50:59.32
Artaxerxes issues a decree and
he basically says to the Jews:
00:50:59.35\00:51:04.05
"Get out of here. Go
on. I'm letting you go.
00:51:04.08\00:51:06.91
Go back and rebuild your temple,
go back and rebuild your land.
00:51:06.94\00:51:10.61
Go! You're out of here.
And if you need anything
00:51:10.64\00:51:12.99
you can pay for it
out of my treasury."
00:51:13.02\00:51:15.33
Powerful! God moved the
heart of that pagan king.
00:51:15.36\00:51:19.48
He said "Get out."
00:51:19.73\00:51:20.86
The children of Israel began
to go and rebuild their city,
00:51:20.89\00:51:25.33
rebuild their temple, and
when that decree went forward
00:51:25.36\00:51:29.20
it was in 475 BC.
00:51:29.23\00:51:31.25
It was the seventh
year of Artaxerxes.
00:51:31.50\00:51:35.11
Artaxerxes came to power in
464, and in 475 he says "Go".
00:51:35.34\00:51:42.32
It says that day is 475 BC.
00:51:42.63\00:51:49.79
Gabrielle explains after
69 weeks or 483 literal years.
00:51:50.10\00:51:55.19
Do the math, is very simple.
00:51:55.41\00:51:57.57
490 years is 70
weeks. How many weeks?
00:51:57.60\00:52:02.46
If we're talking about 69
weeks we would subtract 7 years.
00:52:02.69\00:52:08.53
Which we be what? 483.
00:52:08.80\00:52:09.94
He says "Hey, 70 are cut off
for the Jews, and from the time
00:52:09.97\00:52:14.12
that decree happens,
until the Messiah, is 69 weeks.
00:52:14.15\00:52:18.95
So far so good?
It's pretty simple.
00:52:19.22\00:52:22.20
Let's put in on the
board so you can see it.
00:52:22.23\00:52:26.04
475, you move
forward, 483 years,
00:52:26.38\00:52:30.47
that brings you
to exactly 27 AD.
00:52:30.66\00:52:33.65
Brings you to what? 27 AD.
00:52:37.76\00:52:43.64
What happened in 27 AD?
00:52:43.88\00:52:45.86
Jesus of Nazareth was baptized.
00:52:46.41\00:52:51.56
He was baptized.
00:52:51.82\00:52:53.03
You can read it in Luke chapter
3, it says in your study guide.
00:52:53.06\00:52:56.29
Luke was a fantastic historian,
he said that this happened
00:52:56.32\00:53:01.03
in the 50th years of
the rein of Tiberius Caesar.
00:53:01.26\00:53:05.65
He began to rule in 12 AD, you
move 15 years that brings you
00:53:05.88\00:53:12.58
to 27 AD.
00:53:12.83\00:53:13.96
Jesus was baptized in 27 AD.
00:53:14.21\00:53:17.08
Jesus was what?
Baptized in 27 AD.
00:53:17.27\00:53:20.25
He was anointed, according
to Peter in Acts chapter 10,
00:53:20.47\00:53:23.83
He was anointed
by the Holy Spirit.
00:53:23.86\00:53:27.56
Remember the Holy
Spirit descended upon Him?
00:53:27.85\00:53:30.26
He heard that voice
saying "This is My beloved Son
00:53:30.29\00:53:33.94
in whom I'm well pleased."
00:53:33.97\00:53:36.21
I want you to think about that.
00:53:37.37\00:53:40.35
This is so powerful!
00:53:40.62\00:53:42.56
Gabrielle comes to
explain the vision and he says:
00:53:43.08\00:53:45.14
"Seventy weeks are cut
off for your people." O.K
00:53:45.17\00:53:50.67
From the going forth
of the command to restore
00:53:51.37\00:53:53.74
and rebuild Jerusalem,
Daniel is saying "Yes, got it."
00:53:53.77\00:53:56.86
"Daniel, for 483 days or
prophetic days literal years,
00:53:56.89\00:54:01.85
then the Messiah will come.
The one you're looking for."
00:54:02.07\00:54:06.67
The one we are all
looking for. He's going to come.
00:54:06.72\00:54:10.88
And sure enough, right on time.
00:54:10.91\00:54:13.42
In the fall of 27 AD a
man named Jesus of Nazareth
00:54:13.60\00:54:19.06
walked away from His
father's carpenters bench
00:54:19.32\00:54:24.65
and He walked down
to the river Jordan.
00:54:24.87\00:54:28.15
John saw Him.
00:54:28.40\00:54:29.75
He said: "Look,
it's the Lamb of God
00:54:32.12\00:54:38.65
who takes away
the sin of the world."
00:54:38.89\00:54:42.01
I imagine everybody...
00:54:42.05\00:54:44.49
Here comes Jesus of Nazareth,
walks down into that water,
00:54:44.71\00:54:49.18
speaks to His elder cousin
John, John was His cousin,
00:54:49.21\00:54:53.02
6 months older, He says:
"John, I need you to baptize Me.
00:54:53.05\00:54:58.81
Right now." John says:
"You've got to be kidding.
00:54:59.03\00:55:03.09
I have need to
be baptized by You."
00:55:03.17\00:55:06.38
"Suffereth this for now,
thus it becometh us to fulfill
00:55:06.67\00:55:10.01
all righteousness."
00:55:10.04\00:55:12.04
The Bible says put
Him down in that water,
00:55:12.26\00:55:16.16
baptized Him. And the
Bible says as He was coming up
00:55:16.34\00:55:19.14
a voice from heaven "Behold my
beloved, this is My beloved Son
00:55:19.17\00:55:25.77
in whom I am well pleased."
00:55:25.97\00:55:30.21
The Holy Spirit came upon Him.
00:55:30.39\00:55:32.08
In Acts chapter 3
Peters says He was anointed
00:55:32.11\00:55:34.02
by the Holy Spirit.
00:55:34.05\00:55:35.58
Whenever you
anoint something with oil
00:55:35.61\00:55:38.27
that symbolizes the Holy Spirit.
00:55:38.30\00:55:40.83
The oil is the Holy Spirit.
00:55:41.01\00:55:42.94
When I go to anoint people
I anoint them with olive oil.
00:55:42.97\00:55:46.08
Jesus was anointed
with the real deal.
00:55:46.11\00:55:48.85
The Holy Spirit comes upon Him.
00:55:48.88\00:55:51.39
I want you to look at Daniel
chapter 9 as we close this.
00:55:51.49\00:55:56.19
Verse 24, "Seventy weeks
were determined for your people
00:55:56.57\00:55:59.69
and for your holy city
to finish the transgression,
00:55:59.72\00:56:01.86
to make an end of sins, to make
reconciliation for inequity,
00:56:01.89\00:56:04.12
to bring an
everlasting righteousness,
00:56:04.15\00:56:05.69
to seal up the
vision and the prophecy,
00:56:05.72\00:56:07.01
to anoint the most holy. Know
therefore and understand Daniel
00:56:07.04\00:56:10.11
that from the going forth
of the command and the restore
00:56:10.14\00:56:12.02
and build of Jerusalem,
475, until Messiah comes,
00:56:12.05\00:56:16.36
the Anointed Prince,
there will be sixty-nine weeks,
00:56:16.59\00:56:19.66
seven weeks and sixty-two weeks.
The street will be built again
00:56:19.69\00:56:23.06
and the wall, even
in troublesome times."
00:56:23.09\00:56:26.37
How did Jesus know when to
leave His carpenter's bench?
00:56:26.40\00:56:31.60
How did He know?
00:56:31.77\00:56:33.15
I'll tell you how He knew.
00:56:33.31\00:56:35.54
He knew the book of Daniel.
00:56:35.78\00:56:38.92
When Jesus is baptized in
Mark chapter 1 do you know what
00:56:39.22\00:56:43.97
He said? The time is fulfilled.
00:56:44.27\00:56:47.81
Mark chapter 1,
verses 15 and 16.
00:56:48.09\00:56:50.63
Jesus is baptized, He
said "The time is fulfilled".
00:56:50.66\00:56:53.01
What time?
00:56:53.04\00:56:54.01
How did He know that it was
time to stop sawing and go down
00:56:54.22\00:57:00.27
and be baptized?
00:57:00.50\00:57:01.47
How did John
know that it was time
00:57:01.48\00:57:02.50
to start preaching in
the wilderness of Judea?
00:57:02.53\00:57:04.77
They knew this prophecy.
00:57:04.80\00:57:06.34
There was a set out of
time the Messiah will come.
00:57:06.37\00:57:11.36
That's just the
beginning of this prophecy.
00:57:11.61\00:57:14.39
It's what? The beginning.
00:57:14.42\00:57:16.45
Sometimes people say to me "How
do you know Jesus is the guy?"
00:57:16.67\00:57:21.79
One of the ways I know is
because He perfectly fulfilled
00:57:22.45\00:57:27.10
this prophecy of the Messiah.
00:57:27.30\00:57:30.01
It was given 500
years before His time.
00:57:30.23\00:57:35.10
Baptized,
anointed by the Holy Ghost,
00:57:35.42\00:57:39.90
that gets us through the
first 69 weeks of this prophecy.
00:57:40.16\00:57:44.93
Do you see that everyone?
00:57:45.15\00:57:46.87
That's the first 69
weeks, it gets us to 27 AD.
00:57:46.90\00:57:49.82
We still have another week.
00:57:49.85\00:57:53.06
What happens then?
00:57:53.21\00:57:55.37
We'll see you tomorrow night.
00:57:55.57\00:57:58.47
