>> IT'S BEEN 2,000 YEARS SINCE
THE GLORIOUS LIGHT OF THE CROSS
00:00:09.50\00:00:12.30
ILLUMINATED A WORLD
VEILED IN DARKNESS AND CONFUSION
00:00:12.30\00:00:15.20
ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF GOD.
00:00:15.20\00:00:17.13
AND STILL TODAY THE GREATEST
NEED OF MANKIND IS A REVELATION
00:00:17.13\00:00:20.50
OF GOD'S LOVE AS
REVEALED IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
00:00:20.50\00:00:23.63
AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS,
"THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL"
00:00:23.63\00:00:26.86
WITH PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR
COMING TO YOU EACH WEEK FROM
00:00:26.86\00:00:29.90
SACRAMENTO CENTRAL
CHURCH IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA.
00:00:29.90\00:00:33.03
DISCOVER HIDDEN
TREASURES IN GOD'S WORD TODAY.
00:00:33.03\00:00:36.36
>> OUR MESSAGE THIS
MORNING IS DEALING WITH A PLACE
00:00:38.93\00:00:45.36
THAT OFTEN APPEARS IN SCRIPTURE.
00:00:45.36\00:00:48.33
IT'S CALLED THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:00:48.33\00:00:51.46
AND YOU KNOW THERE ARE MOUNTAIN
CLIMBERS AROUND THE WORLD THAT'S
00:00:51.46\00:00:55.96
BECOME VERY POPULAR RECENTLY,
SOME ARE ROCK CLIMBERS, SOME ARE
00:00:55.96\00:00:59.26
THE HARD-CORE MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS
THAT TAKE ON THE BIG MOUNTAINS.
00:00:59.26\00:01:04.36
AND IF YOU'RE A MOUNTAIN
CLIMBER, VERY FEW OF THEM,
00:01:04.36\00:01:06.86
I DON'T THINK ANY OF THEM
CAN SAY, "I'M GONNA CLIMB ALL
00:01:06.86\00:01:09.16
THE TALL MOUNTAINS IN THE
WORLD" BECAUSE THERE'S JUST
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.03
TOO MANY OF THEM.
00:01:12.03\00:01:13.23
SO THEY SET GOALS AND THEY SAY,
"WELL, I'M GONNA CLIMB ALL OF
00:01:13.23\00:01:17.60
THE MOUNTAINS THAT
ARE ABOVE 20,000 FEET.
00:01:17.60\00:01:20.33
AND SOME HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN
THE GOAL OF SAYING, "I'M GONNA
00:01:20.33\00:01:23.56
CLIMB THE SEVEN
MOUNTAINS OF THE WORLD."
00:01:23.56\00:01:26.06
AND WHAT THEY MEAN BY THAT IS
THERE ARE THE TALLEST MOUNTAINS
00:01:26.06\00:01:30.10
ON EACH CONTINENT.
00:01:30.10\00:01:32.03
AND I THOUGHT
THIS IS INTERESTING.
00:01:32.03\00:01:33.90
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S
SOMETHING I'D EVER DARE ATTEMPT
00:01:33.90\00:01:36.36
BUT FOR INSTANCE,
AFRICA, WHO KNOWS?
00:01:36.36\00:01:39.63
I THINK
ANTHONY'S GOING THERE SOON.
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.50
MOUNT KILIMANJARO IN AFRICA,
19,341 FEET, TALLEST MOUNTAIN,
00:01:41.50\00:01:46.36
SO THEY'D GO TO KILIMANJARO.
00:01:46.36\00:01:47.90
THESE ARE THE
SEVEN TALL MOUNTAINS.
00:01:47.90\00:01:49.86
THERE'S VINSON MASSIF,
WHO KNOWS WHERE THAT IS?
00:01:49.86\00:01:53.93
ANTARCTICA, THAT'S
RIGHT, SMART ALECK.
00:01:53.93\00:01:57.56
THAT'S 16,500 FEET.
00:01:57.56\00:02:01.93
THEN THERE'S
CARSTENSZ PYRAMID IN OCEANIA.
00:02:01.93\00:02:06.60
THIS IS THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN
IN INDONESIA IN THE PACIFIC
00:02:06.60\00:02:10.36
AND THAT'S 16,024 FEET.
00:02:10.36\00:02:14.40
MUST BE A VOLCANO.
00:02:14.40\00:02:16.03
WHO KNOWS THE
TALLEST MOUNTAIN IN ASIA?
00:02:16.03\00:02:19.06
EVEREST.
00:02:19.06\00:02:21.93
WE'VE ALL HEARD OF THAT ONE.
00:02:21.93\00:02:23.43
ROUGHLY 29,035 FEET.
00:02:23.43\00:02:26.03
THEY USED TO THINK IT WAS 28,000
BUT I GUESS THEY GOT A BETTER
00:02:26.03\00:02:28.73
GPS, 29,000 FEET.
00:02:28.73\00:02:31.56
IN EUROPE, THE MOUNTAINS
ARE AREN'T THAT TALL THERE,
00:02:31.56\00:02:34.36
MOUNT ELBRUS, 18,000 FEET.
00:02:34.36\00:02:37.83
NORTH AMERICA, WHO KNOWS?
00:02:37.83\00:02:40.03
MOUNT MCKINLEY.
00:02:40.03\00:02:42.33
WELL, WHITNEY'S IN CALIFORNIA.
00:02:42.33\00:02:43.43
FOR NORTH AMERICA
IT'S MOUNT MCKINLEY.
00:02:43.43\00:02:46.20
STEVEN AND I, A LITTLE MORE
THAN A YEAR AGO, WE FLEW UP AND
00:02:46.20\00:02:48.66
LANDED AT MOUNT--THEY CALL
IT DENALI IS THE ALASKAN NAME
00:02:48.66\00:02:52.96
FOR IT.
00:02:52.96\00:02:54.10
LANDED ON A GLACIER JUST BELOW.
00:02:54.10\00:02:55.76
OH, YOU GET UP THERE
AND IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.
00:02:55.76\00:02:59.23
JUST SEEING IT, IS SO AWESOME.
00:02:59.23\00:03:02.10
AND THEN I CAN'T SAY THE
LAST ONE IT'S IN SOUTH AMERICA.
00:03:02.10\00:03:04.76
IT'S ONE OF THE TALLEST
OF THE ANDES, 22--BY THE WAY,
00:03:04.76\00:03:07.96
MCKINLEY'S 20,300
FEET AND THIS IS ACONCAGUA.
00:03:07.96\00:03:14.03
ONE MORE TIME.
00:03:14.03\00:03:17.20
ACONCAGUA, I BELIEVE YOU,
22,800--I WASN'T EVEN CLOSE,
00:03:17.20\00:03:25.16
WAS I--41 FEET.
00:03:25.16\00:03:29.10
THOSE ARE THE
SEVEN TALL MOUNTAINS.
00:03:29.10\00:03:31.83
WELL, TODAY WE'RE NOT GONNA
TAKE A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SEVEN
00:03:31.83\00:03:33.70
MOUNTAINS OF THE BIBLE.
00:03:33.70\00:03:34.83
YOU KNOW, ONE THING'S THAT'S
INTERESTING ABOUT THE GREAT
00:03:34.83\00:03:37.20
MOUNTAINS OF THE BIBLE.
00:03:37.20\00:03:38.73
NAME SOME OF THEM FOR INSTANCE.
00:03:38.73\00:03:41.96
MOUNT SINAI.
00:03:41.96\00:03:43.00
NO ONE'S EXACTLY
SURE WHERE THAT IS.
00:03:43.00\00:03:45.33
MATTER OF FACT, MOST SCHOLARS
ARE NOW PRETTY SURE IT'S NOT
00:03:45.33\00:03:48.23
THE ONE THAT HAS ST. CATHARINE'S
MONASTERY AT THE TOP IN THE
00:03:48.23\00:03:52.26
SINAI PENINSULA 'CAUSE THE BIBLE
SAYS MOUNT SINAI IN ARABIA.
00:03:52.26\00:03:55.93
THERE'S ANOTHER MOUNTAIN
THERE IN ARABIA, JEBEL AL-LAWZ
00:03:55.93\00:03:59.80
IS THAT IT?
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.13
THAT THEY THINK THAT
THEY'VE FOUND THAT'S GUARDED BY
00:04:01.13\00:04:03.66
THE SAUDI ARABIAN GOVERNMENT.
00:04:03.66\00:04:05.06
THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT
THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
00:04:05.06\00:04:08.50
WAS.
00:04:08.50\00:04:09.23
IT JUST SAYS A TALL MOUNTAIN.
00:04:09.23\00:04:11.50
SOME THINK I WAS MOUNT
TABOR, COULD HAVE BEEN.
00:04:11.50\00:04:14.03
SOME THINK IT WAS
MOUNT GERIZIM, WE DON'T KNOW.
00:04:14.03\00:04:15.83
COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF
THE MOUNTAINS OF LEBANON.
00:04:15.83\00:04:17.96
AND SO A NUMBER OF THE MOUNTAINS
IN THE BIBLE ARE A MYSTERY.
00:04:17.96\00:04:21.30
WE'RE PRETTY SURE WE KNOW WHERE
MOUNT CALVARY WAS ON THE HILL
00:04:21.30\00:04:26.33
OF GOLGOTHA ON THE
NORTH OF JERUSALEM.
00:04:26.33\00:04:29.06
BUT IF THERE'S A MOUNTAIN IN THE
BIBLE THERE'S NO DOUBTS ABOUT,
00:04:29.06\00:04:32.00
IT'S THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:04:32.00\00:04:34.90
IT IS VERY CLEARLY DESCRIBED AND
DEFINED IN THE BIBLE AND IT MAY
00:04:34.90\00:04:39.43
BE A SMALL MOUNTAIN, BUT
IT IS A VERY PROFOUND MOUNTAIN
00:04:39.43\00:04:45.10
IN BIBLE HISTORY.
00:04:45.10\00:04:47.13
JUST ACROSS THE KIDRON
VALLEY IT'S ABOUT 3 MILES LONG
00:04:47.13\00:04:51.06
IS THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:04:51.06\00:04:52.70
IT'S CALLED MOUNT OF OLIVES
BECAUSE OLIVE TREES--IT'S GOT
00:04:52.70\00:04:55.93
JUST THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
00:04:55.93\00:04:57.60
IT'S GOT JUST THE RIGHT CLIMATE.
00:04:57.60\00:04:59.00
THEY FLOURISH THERE.
00:04:59.00\00:05:00.63
THE OLIVES WERE BIG AND RICH
AND SO IT GOT THE NAME OLIVETTE
00:05:00.63\00:05:06.00
OR THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES OR THE OLIVE MOUNTAIN.
00:05:06.00\00:05:11.56
MATTER OF FACT, IT HAD ONE MORE
NAME I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING.
00:05:11.56\00:05:14.20
IT WAS CALLED THE MOUNTAIN
OF THREE LIGHTS, THE MOUNTAIN OF
00:05:14.20\00:05:18.33
THREE LIGHTS AND HERE'S
THE REASON; IT WAS JUST ACROSS
00:05:18.33\00:05:21.70
THE VALLEY, THE KIDRON
VALLEY FROM THE TEMPLE.
00:05:21.70\00:05:25.23
MATTER OF FACT WHEN YOU SAT
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, YOU HAD
00:05:25.23\00:05:27.33
A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
00:05:27.33\00:05:28.63
ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS OF
JERUSALEM IS FROM THE MOUNT OF
00:05:28.63\00:05:31.30
OLIVES 'CAUSE
IT'S SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
00:05:31.30\00:05:33.93
AND YOU COULD SEE THE
LIGHT WAS ALWAYS KEPT BURNING.
00:05:33.93\00:05:38.03
THERE WAS A
TORCH ABOVE THE TEMPLE.
00:05:38.03\00:05:39.50
THEY KEPT IT BURNING IN THE DAYS
OF CHRIST CONTINUALLY AND SO
00:05:39.50\00:05:42.56
THEY HAD THIS LIGHT TO THE WEST.
00:05:42.56\00:05:45.26
WHEN THE SUN CAME UP IN THE
MORNING TO EAST, THEY HAD--THEY
00:05:45.26\00:05:48.16
CALLED THAT THE SECOND
LIGHT, THE LIGHT OF THE EAST.
00:05:48.16\00:05:50.63
THE THIRD LIGHT OF THE MOUNTAIN
OF THREE LIGHTS WAS THE LIGHT
00:05:50.63\00:05:54.10
THAT THE OLIVE OIL PRODUCED.
00:05:54.10\00:05:56.96
AND SO THEY CALLED IT
THE MOUNTAIN OF THREE LIGHTS.
00:05:56.96\00:06:00.10
YOU MIGHT SEE THE SUN RISE,
YOU MIGHT SEE THE LIGHT FROM THE
00:06:00.10\00:06:02.63
TEMPLE AND IT PRODUCED ITS OWN
LIGHT FROM ALL OF THE OLIVE OIL
00:06:02.63\00:06:06.43
THAT CAME FROM THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:06:06.43\00:06:08.83
MATTER OF FACT THERE WAS AN
OLIVE PRESS THAT WAS LOCATED ON
00:06:08.83\00:06:12.56
THAT MOUNTAIN, AND WE'LL
TALK MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.
00:06:12.56\00:06:15.63
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, A VERY
HISTORIC MOUNTAIN IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:15.63\00:06:19.03
WE'RE NOT GONNA CLIMB A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT MOUNTAINS BUT WE'RE
00:06:19.03\00:06:21.26
GONNA CLAIM ONE
MOUNTAIN SELF-SEVEN TIMES.
00:06:21.26\00:06:24.40
AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT--AND
THIS IS NOT THE LIMIT BUT--SEVEN
00:06:24.40\00:06:28.26
VERY IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT
TRANSPIRED ON THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:06:28.26\00:06:33.13
NOW YOU MIGHT BE
WONDERING WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.
00:06:33.13\00:06:35.83
I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS
A SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE TO
00:06:35.83\00:06:40.86
IT BEING CALLED
THE MOUNTAIN OF OLIVES.
00:06:40.86\00:06:44.36
WHY WERE OLIVES SO
IMPORTANT TO BIBLE TIMES?
00:06:44.36\00:06:47.86
THEY WERE USED FOR FOOD
BUT EVEN MORE THAN THAT,
00:06:47.86\00:06:51.10
THEY WERE USED FOR OIL.
00:06:51.10\00:06:53.63
WHAT DOES OIL
SYMBOLIZE IN THE BIBLE?
00:06:53.63\00:06:57.30
HOLY SPIRIT.
00:06:57.30\00:06:59.03
YOU REMEMBER THAT WOMAN IN
2 KINGS 4, HER SONS WERE GONNA
00:06:59.03\00:07:04.13
BE TAKEN AS SLAVES,
HER HUSBAND WAS DEAD.
00:07:04.13\00:07:06.90
ALL SHE HAD LEFT WAS
THIS LITTLE VIAL OF OIL.
00:07:06.90\00:07:09.46
SOLD EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE
BUT A LITTLE VESSEL OF OIL.
00:07:09.46\00:07:12.43
OIL WAS SO PRECIOUS BACK
THEN BECAUSE THEY USED IT FOR
00:07:12.43\00:07:16.23
SO MANY THINGS.
00:07:16.23\00:07:17.70
THEY USED OIL FOR FOOD.
00:07:17.70\00:07:21.10
SHE DIDN'T WANT HER KIDS HUNGRY.
00:07:21.10\00:07:22.70
SHE KEPT THE OIL.
00:07:22.70\00:07:23.90
THEY USED IT TO ILLUMINATE
THEIR DWELLINGS FOR LIGHT.
00:07:23.90\00:07:27.76
THEY USED IT FOR HEALING.
00:07:27.76\00:07:31.10
PEOPLE WERE ANOINTED
WITH OIL FOR HEALING.
00:07:31.10\00:07:33.50
YOU READ THAT IN JAMES 5.
00:07:33.50\00:07:35.03
THEY USED IT FOR BEAUTY.
00:07:35.03\00:07:37.16
THEY WOULD ANOINT THEMSELVES,
JESUS SAID, THEY'D ANOINT
00:07:37.16\00:07:39.96
THEIR FACES WITH OIL.
00:07:39.96\00:07:41.13
THEY USED TO THINK THAT
THAT SHINE MADE THEM BEAUTIFUL.
00:07:41.13\00:07:44.53
THEY DID IT FOR WARMTH.
00:07:44.53\00:07:46.63
THEY WOULD USE IT TO LIGHT FIRES
JUST LIKE YOU MIGHT USE KEROSENE
00:07:46.63\00:07:50.86
SOMETIMES AND
GET SOMETHING GOING.
00:07:50.86\00:07:53.73
AND SO OIL WAS JUST IN
EVERY MEDICINE CABINET.
00:07:53.73\00:07:56.83
IT WAS SUCH AN
IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE.
00:07:56.83\00:07:59.66
IT WAS USED TO COOK THE
FOOD, IT WAS USED IN THE FOOD.
00:07:59.66\00:08:02.30
IT WAS USED TO LIGHT THE FIRE,
USED TO ILLUMINATE THE DWELLING.
00:08:02.30\00:08:04.83
I MEAN JUST THE
OIL WAS SO PRECIOUS.
00:08:04.83\00:08:07.36
AND SO IT WAS LIFE FOR THEM.
00:08:07.36\00:08:09.36
IT'S A SYMBOL FOR THE SPIRIT.
00:08:09.36\00:08:10.73
AND SO WHEN YOU SAY THE MOUNTAIN
OF OLIVES, I WANT YOU TO BE
00:08:10.73\00:08:15.13
THINKING IN THE BACKDROP OF YOUR
MIND, THIS IS A MOUNTAIN THAT
00:08:15.13\00:08:18.60
FLOWED WITH SPIRIT,
WITH LIGHT, WITH LIFE.
00:08:18.60\00:08:23.60
AND JESUS CHOSE TO DO A LOT OF
VERY SIGNIFICANT THINGS IN HIS
00:08:23.60\00:08:28.10
LIFE ON THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:08:28.10\00:08:30.03
AND I JUST WANT TO BRING SOME OF
THOSE THINGS TO YOUR ATTENTION
00:08:30.03\00:08:32.83
TODAY.
00:08:32.83\00:08:33.86
FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS A
FAVORITE PLACE FOR CHRIST.
00:08:33.86\00:08:36.43
OH, BY THE WAY, WE GOTTA--HOPE
GOOGLE DOESN'T MIND, I JUST
00:08:36.43\00:08:39.30
TOOK A PICTURE FROM GOOGLE.
00:08:39.30\00:08:41.23
THIS IS JERUSALEM, I DON'T KNOW
HOW OLD IT IS BUT IF YOU'VE GOT
00:08:41.23\00:08:44.16
A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF JERUSALEM
TODAY, YOU SEE THE BIG WHITE
00:08:44.16\00:08:48.10
BLOCK FIGURES ON YOUR LEFT,
THAT'S THE TEMPLE MOUNT THERE
00:08:48.10\00:08:52.40
WITH THE DOME
OF THE ROCK TEMPLE.
00:08:52.40\00:08:54.13
YOU CAN EVEN MAKE OUT
WHERE THE WALL IS THERE.
00:08:54.13\00:08:56.33
AND THEN DIRECTLY OPPOSITE
THAT ARE THE THREE HILLS
00:08:56.33\00:08:59.46
OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:08:59.46\00:09:00.80
IT HAD THREE
PROMINENT PEAKS ON IT.
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.00
AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT
IT'S DIRECTLY EAST OF JERUSALEM.
00:09:03.00\00:09:05.86
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:09:05.86\00:09:07.83
THE GARDEN TOMB, GOLGOTHA
IS DIRECTLY NORTH OF JERUSALEM
00:09:07.83\00:09:13.06
AND THAT TEMPLE.
00:09:13.06\00:09:14.20
SO I JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE A
LITTLE BIBLE GEOGRAPHY IN YOUR
00:09:14.20\00:09:16.90
MINDS SO WHEN YOU READ
YOUR BIBLE, YOU CAN KIND OF SAY,
00:09:16.90\00:09:20.26
WHERE DID THEY GO?
00:09:20.26\00:09:21.40
THE VALLEY THAT GOES
BETWEEN, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S
00:09:21.40\00:09:23.76
A ROAD THERE NOW.
00:09:23.76\00:09:24.83
BUT THE VALLEY THAT GOES BETWEEN
THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND THE MOUNT
00:09:24.83\00:09:27.66
OF OLIVES ON THE
RIGHT WAS THE KIDRON VALLEY.
00:09:27.66\00:09:30.63
THE BLOOD FROM THE SACRIFICES
DURING THE PASSOVER, WHICH IS
00:09:30.63\00:09:34.23
WHAT TIME OF YEAR WE'RE AT NOW,
WOULD FLOW FROM A TUNNEL WHERE
00:09:34.23\00:09:38.80
THE TEMPLE WAS OUT INTO THAT
VALLEY AND IT USED TO RUN DOWN
00:09:38.80\00:09:42.26
THERE TO THE DEAD SEA.
00:09:42.26\00:09:44.06
NOW THAT'S SIGNIFICANT
ALSO IN OUR STORY TODAY.
00:09:44.06\00:09:46.56
JESUS LIKED TO ABIDE
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:09:46.56\00:09:49.66
IT WAS A FAVORITE PLACE FOR HIM.
00:09:49.66\00:09:52.26
HE, OF COURSE, HAD SOME DEAR
FRIENDS THAT LIVED UP THERE.
00:09:52.26\00:09:55.36
YOU'VE HEARD
ABOUT MARY AND MARTHA.
00:09:55.36\00:09:57.13
IN YOUR BIBLES, AND YOU MIGHT
WANT TO MAKE NOTES 'CAUSE I'M
00:09:57.13\00:09:59.26
GOING QUICKLY WITH
SCRIPTURE, LUKE 21:37-38.
00:09:59.26\00:10:04.36
"IN THE DAYTIME, HE
WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE.
00:10:04.36\00:10:07.83
BUT AT NIGHT, HE WENT OUT
AND HE STAYED ON THE MOUNTAIN
00:10:07.83\00:10:11.50
CALLED OLIVETTE."
00:10:11.50\00:10:13.16
SAME MOUNTAIN.
00:10:13.16\00:10:14.70
"THEN EARLY IN THE MORNING
ALL THE PEOPLE CAME TO HIM
00:10:14.70\00:10:16.80
IN THE TEMPLE TO HEAR HIM."
00:10:16.80\00:10:18.53
JOHN 7:53-JOHN 8:1, "AND
EVERYONE WENT TO THIS OWN HOUSE
00:10:18.53\00:10:24.83
BUT JESUS WENT TO THE MOUNT
OF OLIVES," THAT'S OLIVETTE.
00:10:24.83\00:10:29.23
HE LIKED TO
ABIDE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:10:29.23\00:10:32.46
PART OF THE REASON HE LIKED TO
BE UP THERE IS HE COULD LOOK AT
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.30
JERUSALEM.
00:10:35.30\00:10:36.96
HE SPENT TIME GAZING AT THE CITY
THINKING ABOUT IT, PRAYING OVER
00:10:36.96\00:10:40.40
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE.
00:10:40.40\00:10:42.70
THIS WAS HIS MOUNTAIN.
00:10:42.70\00:10:44.86
THESE WERE HIS PEOPLE AND
HE YEARNED TO SEE THEM SAVED.
00:10:44.86\00:10:48.60
WE KNOW THAT HE LOOKED AT
THE CITY AND HE ONCE CRIED OUT,
00:10:48.60\00:10:52.20
"OH, JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM."
00:10:52.20\00:10:54.33
HE LONGED TO SEE
THOSE PEOPLE SAVED.
00:10:54.33\00:10:56.23
HE TAUGHT IN THE TEMPLE
WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD.
00:10:56.23\00:10:58.60
JESUS, BEFORE HE WAS INCARNATE,
IS THE ONE WHO CHOSE THIS CITY,
00:10:58.60\00:11:02.70
JERU SHALOM, CITY OF PEACE.
00:11:02.70\00:11:05.80
IT WAS TO BE A PLACE THAT
WOULD BE A LIGHT TO THE WORLD.
00:11:05.80\00:11:10.66
AND MAYBE WHEN HE LOOKED UPON
THAT CITY, HE THOUGHT ABOUT ALL
00:11:10.66\00:11:13.10
IT COULD BE AND HIS
MIND WENT BEYOND IT TO THE
00:11:13.10\00:11:15.23
NEW JERU SHALOM, CITY OF PEACE
WHERE WE WILL ALL LIVE SOME DAY.
00:11:15.23\00:11:21.20
AND SO HE LIKED TO
SPEND TIME ON THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:11:21.20\00:11:24.76
ANOTHER REASON IS HE HAD
SOME DEAR FRIENDS THAT LIVED
00:11:24.76\00:11:27.30
ON THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:11:27.30\00:11:29.46
YOU SEE, THERE WAS A
VERY PROMINENT BIBLICAL CITY
00:11:29.46\00:11:31.80
CALLED BETHANY.
00:11:31.80\00:11:33.56
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT.
00:11:33.56\00:11:34.83
THE WORD BETHANY, IT'S A MYSTERY
THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY SURE BUT
00:11:34.83\00:11:37.90
IT'S SOMETHING
BETWEEN HOUSE OF DATES.
00:11:37.90\00:11:40.73
THE WORD "BETH" MEANS HOUSE.
00:11:40.73\00:11:42.06
JESUS WAS BORN IN
BETHLEHEM, BUT THIS IS BETHANY.
00:11:42.06\00:11:45.86
IT MEANS HOUSE OF
DATES OR HOUSE OF SONG.
00:11:45.86\00:11:49.26
MAYBE HOUSE OF SWEETNESS
OR SONG WERE INTERCHANGEABLE,
00:11:49.26\00:11:52.36
I DON'T KNOW.
00:11:52.36\00:11:53.26
BUT IT WAS A PLACE ON THE MOUNT
OF OLIVES, A CITY, A TOWN, SMALL
00:11:53.26\00:11:58.63
TOWN ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:11:58.63\00:12:00.73
THEY'RE NOT EVEN EXACTLY SURE
WHERE IT IS NOW BECAUSE IT WAS
00:12:00.73\00:12:03.26
SO SMALL THAT HISTORY HAS SORT
OF DISPLACED IT AND THERE'S SO
00:12:03.26\00:12:06.70
MANY DIFFERENT
VILLAGES THAT HAVE SPRUNG UP.
00:12:06.70\00:12:09.90
AND HE HAD SOME DEAR FRIENDS
THERE NAMED LAZARUS, MARTHA
00:12:09.90\00:12:15.73
AND THEIR YOUNGER SISTER,
WHO SOMETIMES GOT INTO TROUBLE,
00:12:15.73\00:12:18.83
NAMED MARY.
00:12:18.83\00:12:20.70
SOMETIMES SHE'S CALLED MARY OF
MAGDALENE BECAUSE SHE HAD LEFT
00:12:20.70\00:12:23.76
AND DWELT IN
MAGDALENE, COME BACK AGAIN.
00:12:23.76\00:12:26.73
IT'S PROBABLY THE SAME MARY.
00:12:26.73\00:12:28.10
MARY OF BETHANY, MARY
OF MAGDALENE, SAME MARY.
00:12:28.10\00:12:31.40
SO HE WOULD SPEND
TIME AT THEIR HOUSE.
00:12:31.40\00:12:33.90
YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE
FEAST IN SIMON'S HOUSE, SIMON
00:12:33.90\00:12:38.10
THE LEPER THAT JESUS HEALED.
00:12:38.10\00:12:39.93
JESUS WENT TO HIS HOUSE AND
THERE MARY ANOINTED HIS FEET,
00:12:39.93\00:12:44.26
ANOINTED HIS HEAD.
00:12:44.26\00:12:46.40
JESUS WAS ANOINTED
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:12:46.40\00:12:49.50
THAT WAS IN BETHANY.
00:12:49.50\00:12:51.33
MATTHEW 26:6-7, "AND WHEN JESUS
WAS IN BETHANY AT THE HOUSE OF
00:12:51.33\00:12:57.96
SIMON THE LEPER, A WOMAN CAME TO
HIM HAVING AN ALABASTER FLASK OF
00:12:57.96\00:13:02.76
VERY COSTLY FRAGRANT OIL
AND SHE POURED IT ON HIS HEAD
00:13:02.76\00:13:07.23
AS HE SAT AT THE TABLE."
00:13:07.23\00:13:08.90
THEN OF COURSE, SHE TOOK A
VIAL WITH HER TEARS AND NEXT SHE
00:13:08.90\00:13:12.36
ANOINTED HIS
FEET WITH HER TEARS.
00:13:12.36\00:13:15.06
JUST BEFORE HIS DEATH, THE
LAST WEEK OF HIS LIFE, A LOT OF
00:13:15.06\00:13:18.50
INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENED ON
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND THAT'S
00:13:18.50\00:13:21.53
THE TIME IN WHICH
WE'RE LIVING RIGHT NOW.
00:13:21.53\00:13:24.70
THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN
CHRIST EXPERIENCED THESE THINGS.
00:13:24.70\00:13:29.13
JESUS WAS ANOINTED AS
MESSIAH WHEN HE BEGAN PREACHING
00:13:29.13\00:13:33.56
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:13:33.56\00:13:35.40
THAT WAS DONE AT ANOTHER
PLACE CALLED BETH--BETHPHAGE.
00:13:35.40\00:13:39.90
JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZED
HIM DOWN THERE, ANOINTED WITH
00:13:39.90\00:13:43.16
THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:13:43.16\00:13:44.53
HE WAS ANOINTED AS KING
AND SACRIFICED AND PRIEST
00:13:44.53\00:13:48.56
JUST BEFORE HIS DEATH.
00:13:48.56\00:13:51.03
NOW WE WOULD NEVER BE ANOINTED
BY THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE DAY,
00:13:51.03\00:13:55.73
SO GOD CHOSE A VERY HUMBLE WOMAN
WHO EVERYONE ELSE CONSIDERED
00:13:55.73\00:14:00.66
TO BE AN OUTCAST.
00:14:00.66\00:14:02.06
AND BECAUSE HE HAD MENTIONED HE
WAS ABOUT TO DIE AND SHE HEARD
00:14:02.06\00:14:05.40
HIM SAY THAT--REMEMBER JESUS
TOLD THE DISCIPLES VERY PLAINLY,
00:14:05.40\00:14:11.06
THIS LAST JOURNEY
TO JERUSALEM, HE SAID,
00:14:11.06\00:14:12.70
"I'M GOING TO JERUSALEM,
I'LL BE BETRAYED THERE.
00:14:12.70\00:14:15.80
I'LL BE HANDED
OVER TO THE GENTILES.
00:14:15.80\00:14:17.86
I'LL BE CRUCIFIED, AND
I'LL RISE THE THIRD DAY."
00:14:17.86\00:14:20.53
AND THE DISCIPLES HEARD HIM
SAY THAT 'CAUSE THEY--THEY SAID
00:14:20.53\00:14:23.46
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
00:14:23.46\00:14:24.73
MARY HEARD THAT AND SHE
WENT AND BOUGHT A GIFT FOR HIM.
00:14:24.73\00:14:27.60
SHE WANTED TO ANOINT HIM.
00:14:27.60\00:14:28.83
SHE BOUGHT
ANOINTING OIL FIT FOR A KING.
00:14:28.83\00:14:31.56
AND IN THE PRESENCE OF
OTHERS THEY'RE AT THIS DINNER,
00:14:31.56\00:14:34.16
RIGHT OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
00:14:34.16\00:14:36.63
HE WAS ANOINTED.
00:14:36.63\00:14:38.20
NOT ONLY WAS HE ANOINTED AS OUR
KING AND AS OUR PRIEST AND AS
00:14:38.20\00:14:41.80
OUR SACRIFICE, SHE THEN
ANOINTED HIS FEET WITH TEARS.
00:14:41.80\00:14:46.03
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:14:46.03\00:14:47.33
WELL, IT'S YOUR WALK.
00:14:47.33\00:14:50.00
THE FACT THAT CHRIST'S FEET WERE
ANOINTED WITH TEARS, THEY USED
00:14:50.00\00:14:53.96
TO COLLECT THE TEARS,
YOU KNOW, IN THIS BOTTLE.
00:14:53.96\00:14:56.53
WHEN THEY CRIED BACK THEN, WHEN
THEY WERE MOURNING, THEY HAD
00:14:56.53\00:14:58.83
A TEAR VIAL AND THEY
CRIED RIGHT INTO THEM.
00:14:58.83\00:15:00.73
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS PECULIAR TO
US, BUT THEY THOUGHT THE TEARS
00:15:00.73\00:15:02.56
WERE SACRED.
00:15:02.56\00:15:03.86
AND THEY WOULD CRY INTO
THIS VIALS THAT HAD A LITTLE LIP
00:15:03.86\00:15:07.00
ON IT AND CATCH THEIR TEARS.
00:15:07.00\00:15:09.13
AND MARY PROBABLY HAD A FULL
VIAL 'CAUSE SHE HAD GONE THROUGH
00:15:09.13\00:15:12.46
A LOT OF SORROW IF HER LIFE
AND SHE POURED IT OUT HIS FEET.
00:15:12.46\00:15:15.56
THAT REMINDS US THAT OUR SAVIOR
HAS BEEN TEMPTED IN ALL POINTS
00:15:15.56\00:15:20.06
AS WE ARE TEMPTED.
00:15:20.06\00:15:21.40
HE HAS GONE THROUGH
AND EXPERIENCED OUR TRIALS.
00:15:21.40\00:15:24.90
HE'S WALKED AND EXPERIENCED
AND TAKEN OUR SORROWS.
00:15:24.90\00:15:30.40
SOMETIMES GOVERNMENT TELLS
US THAT THEY FEEL OUR PAIN.
00:15:30.40\00:15:34.60
WE HAVE DOUBTS.
00:15:34.60\00:15:36.66
BUT JESUS DOES FEEL OUR PAIN.
00:15:36.66\00:15:39.40
HE DOES KNOW HOW WE
FEEL, SO SHE ANOINTED HIS FEET.
00:15:39.40\00:15:43.00
HE WAS ANOINTED ON THE MOUNT
OF OLIVES CHRIST JUST BEFORE HIS
00:15:43.00\00:15:46.50
SACRIFICE, ANOINTED ON
OLIVETTE FROM HEAD TO FOOT.
00:15:46.50\00:15:51.60
SHE ANOINTED HIS
HEAD, ANOINTED HIS FEET.
00:15:51.60\00:15:54.56
WE NEED TO
FOLLOW JESUS' EXAMPLE.
00:15:54.56\00:15:58.70
JESUS SPENT TIME RESTING AND
MEDITATING THERE ON THE MOUNT OF
00:15:58.70\00:16:02.03
OLIVES, WE NEED THAT TIME.
00:16:02.03\00:16:04.20
WE NEED A PLACE TO
ABIDE IN THE SPIRIT.
00:16:04.20\00:16:07.76
HE WAS ANOINTED THERE
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:16:07.76\00:16:10.80
WE NEED THAT ANOINTING
FROM HEAD TO FOOT AS WELL.
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.16
THE THIRD MOUNTAINTOP I WANT
TO TALK ABOUT ON THE MOUNT OF
00:16:13.16\00:16:15.70
OLIVES IS WHAT WE
CALL THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY.
00:16:15.70\00:16:20.66
THIS IS WHERE THE MOUNTAIN
TURNS INTO A PLACE OF PRAISE.
00:16:20.66\00:16:25.03
MARK 11, MATTER OF FACT,
MAYBE I'LL READ THIS TO YOU.
00:16:25.03\00:16:29.56
YOU FIND THIS STORY
IN ALL FOUR GOSPELS.
00:16:29.56\00:16:31.83
I'M GONNA GO TO LUKE 19,
I'LL READ IT TO YOU FROM LUKE.
00:16:31.83\00:16:37.76
LUKE 19:29, "AND IT CAME TO PASS
WHEN HE CAME NEAR BETHPHAGE AND
00:16:37.76\00:16:47.20
BETHANY AT THE
MOUNTAIN CALLED OLIVETTE."
00:16:47.20\00:16:51.73
SO WHERE'S THIS HAPPENING?
00:16:51.73\00:16:52.80
MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:16:52.80\00:16:54.56
"THAT HE SENT TWO OF HIS
DISCIPLES AND HE SAID, 'GO
00:16:54.56\00:16:57.56
INTO THE VILLAGE OPPOSITE YOU
WHICH IS ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE
00:16:57.56\00:17:03.50
AND YOU'LL FIND A COLT TIED
ON WHICH NO ONE HAS EVER SAT.
00:17:03.50\00:17:08.60
LOOSE HIM AND BRING HIM HERE.
00:17:08.60\00:17:11.10
IF ANYONE ASKS YOU--'" NOW
YOU'RE GONNA THINK JESUS IS
00:17:11.10\00:17:13.93
AUTHORIZING SHOPLIFTING HERE.
00:17:13.93\00:17:16.83
HE JUST BORROWED IT
AND HE BROUGHT IT BACK.
00:17:16.83\00:17:19.50
BY THE WAY, HE OWNS EVERYTHING.
00:17:19.50\00:17:21.86
"IF ANYONE ASKS YOU WHY ARE YOU
LOOSING HIM, YOU SHALL SAY THUS
00:17:21.86\00:17:25.03
BECAUSE THE LORD
HAD NEED OF HIM."
00:17:25.03\00:17:28.10
NOW JUST FOR THE SCHOLARS
HERE, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED WHEN
00:17:28.10\00:17:30.33
YOU READ THIS
STORY IN MATTHEW 21
00:17:30.33\00:17:33.20
AND THIS STORY IN LUKE AND
MARK, THE OTHER VERSIONS SAY
00:17:33.20\00:17:37.96
THAT THERE WAS JUST A COLT.
00:17:37.96\00:17:39.83
MATTHEW SAYS IT WAS
A MOTHER WITH HER COLT.
00:17:39.83\00:17:42.73
ONE OF THEM WAS
TIED, PROBABLY THE MOTHER.
00:17:42.73\00:17:45.30
THE COLT WILL ALWAYS
STAY WITH ITS MOTHER,
00:17:45.30\00:17:47.80
DON'T NEED TO TIE THE COLT.
00:17:47.80\00:17:49.00
AND IF YOU TAKE ONE,
THE OTHER ALWAYS FOLLOWS.
00:17:49.00\00:17:51.93
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVER
HAD A MOTHER BURRO AND HER COLT
00:17:51.93\00:17:55.30
BUT YOU PULL ONE AWAY, THE OTHER
ONE'S GONNA STAY REAL CLOSE BY.
00:17:55.30\00:18:00.56
THEY PROBABLY TOOK BOTH
'CAUSE IT SAYS IN THE GOSPEL OF
00:18:00.56\00:18:03.53
MATTHEW, THEY TOOK
THEM, THE COLT AND THE MOTHER.
00:18:03.53\00:18:07.36
THE COLT NO ONE HAD EVER SAT ON
BEFORE BUT IT ONLY TALKS ABOUT
00:18:07.36\00:18:11.26
THE ONE THAT WAS
LOOSED IN THE OTHER GOSPELS.
00:18:11.26\00:18:14.56
WHEN JESUS ULTIMATELY RIDES DOWN
THE MOUNTAIN, MAY HAVE RIDDEN ON
00:18:14.56\00:18:17.96
THE DONKEY UP UNTIL THEY GOT TO
THE PEAK OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
00:18:17.96\00:18:22.03
THEY WENT FROM BETHPHAGE 'TIL
THEY GOT THE PEAK, THE VISTA.
00:18:22.03\00:18:25.46
THEY'RE GONNA BRING HIM
IN AND INTRODUCE HIM AS KING.
00:18:25.46\00:18:27.60
HE THEN SHIFTED TO THE
COLT ON WHICH ONE HAD EVER SAT.
00:18:27.60\00:18:30.73
IT DID NOT BUCK OR KICK.
00:18:30.73\00:18:32.30
IT WAS TOTALLY SUBMISSIVE
AND COOPERATIVE, AND THAT WAS
00:18:32.30\00:18:35.16
A MIRACLE IN ITSELF.
00:18:35.16\00:18:36.90
IT WAS A MIRACLE OF PROVIDENCE
THAT WHEN SOMEONE SAID,
00:18:36.90\00:18:39.60
"WHY ARE YOU TAKING
THIS VERY EXPENSIVE ANIMAL?"
00:18:39.60\00:18:42.70
THEY SAID THE LORD NEEDS IT AND
THEY DIDN'T QUESTION IT AT ALL.
00:18:42.70\00:18:47.50
IF YOU ARE PREPARING TO
LEAVE FROM CHURCH AND I HOPPED
00:18:47.50\00:18:50.03
IN YOUR CAR WHEN YOU
UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND YOU SAID,
00:18:50.03\00:18:52.06
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
00:18:52.06\00:18:52.70
I SAID, "THE LORD HAS NEED
OF IT," I WONDER IF YOU'D ACT
00:18:52.70\00:18:55.20
THE SAME WAY.
00:18:55.20\00:18:57.26
BUT MAYBE I'LL TRY THAT
LATER, SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
00:18:57.26\00:19:03.00
ANYONE HERE HAVE A LAMBORGHINI?
00:19:03.00\00:19:06.40
I JUST THOUGHT I'D-- I
WOULDN'T WANT ONE OF THOSE.
00:19:06.40\00:19:10.80
ALL RIGHT, LET'S
GO BACK TO OUR STORY.
00:19:10.80\00:19:13.50
SO THOSE WHO WERE SENT--I'M IN
LUKE 19:32, "DEPARTED AND FOUND
00:19:13.50\00:19:18.83
JUST AS IT HAD
BEEN SAID TO THEM.
00:19:18.83\00:19:21.63
BUT AS THEY WERE LOOSING
THE COLT, THE OWNERS OF IT SAID,
00:19:21.63\00:19:23.86
'WHY ARE YOU LOOSING
THE COLT?' AND THEY SAID,
00:19:23.86\00:19:26.66
'THE LORD HAS NEED OF HIM.'
THEN THEY BROUGHT HIM TO JESUS
00:19:26.66\00:19:29.73
AND THEY THREW THEIR
OWN GARMENTS ON THE COLT
00:19:29.73\00:19:33.13
AND THEY SET JESUS ON HIM.
00:19:33.13\00:19:35.10
AND AS THEY WENT, THEY SPREAD
THEIR CLOTHES ON THE ROAD."
00:19:35.10\00:19:39.00
THIS WAS A SIGN OF SUBMISSION,
RECOGNIZING HIM AS KING.
00:19:39.00\00:19:42.80
THE STATEMENT MADE BY
THIS ACTION SPOKE VOLUMES.
00:19:42.80\00:19:47.26
ANYBODY LIVING BACK
THEN KNEW WHAT THIS MEANT.
00:19:47.26\00:19:49.40
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
WHEN A PROPHET CAME FROM ELISHA
00:19:49.40\00:19:52.63
AND THE PROPHET TOLD JEHU,
GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU TO BE KING.
00:19:52.63\00:19:56.50
MATTER OF FACT HE ANOINTED JEHU.
00:19:56.50\00:19:58.30
AND THE OTHER GENERAL
SAID, "WHAT DID HE TELL YOU
00:19:58.30\00:20:00.13
IN THE ROOM?"
00:20:00.13\00:20:00.96
AND HE SAYS, "WELL, HE TOLD ME
THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE KING
00:20:00.96\00:20:03.13
AND HE ANOINTED ME WITH OIL."
00:20:03.13\00:20:04.73
AND JEHU'S GENERALS TOOK OFF
THEIR CLOTHES AND PUT THEM DOWN
00:20:04.73\00:20:08.26
AT HIS FEET AND THEY
SAID, "WE'RE WITH YOU."
00:20:08.26\00:20:11.66
AND SO THEY USED TO
PUT DOWN THE CLOTHES.
00:20:11.66\00:20:13.46
YOU REMEMBER WALTER RALEIGH,
HE THROUGH DOWN THIS CLOAK SO
00:20:13.46\00:20:15.73
THE QUEEN, WHAT WAS ONE THAT?
00:20:15.73\00:20:17.16
VICTORIA OR ELIZABETH RATHER,
COULD STEP OVER A PUDDLE.
00:20:17.16\00:20:20.73
YOU KNOW HOW IT'S SUPPOSED
TO BE GALLANT AND CHIVALROUS AND
00:20:20.73\00:20:22.90
EVERYTHING BUT, I'M NOT THROWING
MY SUIT ON THE GROUND, SORRY,
00:20:22.90\00:20:26.70
LADIES, IN A PUDDLE OF WATER.
00:20:26.70\00:20:29.13
BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID BACK
THEN TO SYMBOLIZE YOUR LOYALTY.
00:20:29.13\00:20:33.86
AND SO THE
PRIESTS WERE TERRIFIED.
00:20:33.86\00:20:37.36
HE WAS BEING BOLDLY PROCLAIMED
AS THE KING OF THE JEWS RIGHT
00:20:37.36\00:20:41.40
HERE WHILE THEY'RE OCCUPIED BY
THE ROMANS, AND THE PEOPLE WERE
00:20:41.40\00:20:44.50
SO EXCITED AND THEY KNEW
WHAT THAT MEANT WHEN THEY CALLED
00:20:44.50\00:20:47.00
HIM THE SON OF DAVID.
00:20:47.00\00:20:48.80
HE IS MESSIAH.
00:20:48.80\00:20:50.53
THIS WAS THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY.
00:20:50.53\00:20:54.66
"AND THEY SPREAD
THEIR CLOTHES ON THE ROAD.
00:20:54.66\00:20:57.20
THEN AS HE WAS NOW DRAWING
NEAR THE DESCENT OF THE MOUNT OF
00:20:57.20\00:21:00.56
OLIVES, THEY COULD SEE THE
GOLDEN GATES IN THE DISTANCE.
00:21:00.56\00:21:03.16
THE MULTITUDE OF THE DISCIPLES
BEGAN TO REJOICE AND TO PRAISE
00:21:03.16\00:21:06.50
GOD WITH A LOUD VOICE FOR ALL
THE MIGHTY WORKS THEY HAD SEEN."
00:21:06.50\00:21:10.00
IT BECAME A MOUNTAIN OF PRAISE.
00:21:10.00\00:21:11.73
"BLESSED IS THE KING WHO
COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.
00:21:11.73\00:21:16.03
PEACE IN HEAVEN AND
GLORY IN THE HIGHEST."
00:21:16.03\00:21:20.20
SOUNDS LIKE WHAT THEY
SAID WHEN HE WAS BORN, RIGHT?
00:21:20.20\00:21:23.43
ALSO WHAT THEY
SAID WHEN HE DIED.
00:21:23.43\00:21:25.80
"AND SOME OF PHARISEES
CALLED FROM THE CROWD, 'TEACHER,
00:21:25.80\00:21:28.53
REBUKE YOUR DISCIPLES.
00:21:28.53\00:21:30.80
DON'T LET THEM SAY
THIS, CALM THEM DOWN.'"
00:21:30.80\00:21:33.06
LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:21:33.06\00:21:34.43
"HE ANSWERED AND SAID, 'I TELL
YOU THAT IF THESE SHOULD KEEP
00:21:34.43\00:21:37.00
SILENT, THE STONES
WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT.'"
00:21:37.00\00:21:41.10
WHY WOULD THE STONES CRY OUT?
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.50
BECAUSE THIS WAS A FULFILLMENT
OF PROPHECY AND THERE'S NOTHING
00:21:43.50\00:21:45.83
YOU CAN DO ON EARTH TO
FULFILL A PROPHECY FROM HEAVEN.
00:21:45.83\00:21:49.96
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:21:49.96\00:21:50.96
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S
INTERESTING ISAIAH 55:12,
00:21:50.96\00:21:55.10
"FOR YOU SHALL GO OUT WITH
JOY AND BE LET OUT WITH PEACE.
00:21:55.10\00:21:58.46
THE MOUNTAINS AND THE HILLS
SHALL BREAK FORTH INTO SINGING
00:21:58.46\00:22:01.90
BEFORE YOU AND ALL THE
TREES OF THE FIELD SHALL CLAP
00:22:01.90\00:22:05.10
THEIR HANDS."
00:22:05.10\00:22:06.36
GOD SAYS IF NOTHING ELSE,
THE ELEMENTS, THE MOUNTAINS,
00:22:06.36\00:22:09.26
THE ROCKS, THE TREES,
THEY WILL GLORIFY GOD.
00:22:09.26\00:22:12.83
AND WHEN HE HUNG UPON THE CROSS,
THE ROCKS RENT, THE SUN STOPPED
00:22:12.83\00:22:17.43
SHINING, THE CLOUDS GATHERED.
00:22:17.43\00:22:19.40
EVEN CREATION
ACKNOWLEDGED HIM AS KING.
00:22:19.40\00:22:22.46
SO IF THE PEOPLE WERE SILENT,
THE ROCKS WERE GOING TO CRY OUT.
00:22:22.46\00:22:26.50
AND THEN HE
PAUSED ALONG THE WAY.
00:22:26.50\00:22:29.93
LUKE 19:41, "NOW AS HE DREW
NEAR THE CITY, HE WEPT OVER IT."
00:22:29.93\00:22:38.23
AND THIS SEEMS SUCH A PARADOX
BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S PRAISING HIM
00:22:38.23\00:22:42.83
AND EVERYBODY'S REJOICING
AND EVERYONE'S SO EXCITED
00:22:42.83\00:22:45.23
AND THEY'RE TAKING PALM FRONDS.
00:22:45.23\00:22:47.23
THEY'RE A SYMBOL OF VICTORY AND
THEY'RE PUTTING THOSE DOWN AND
00:22:47.23\00:22:50.23
THROWING CLOTHES IN THE ROAD AND
SAYING, "HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST,
00:22:50.23\00:22:53.40
BLESSED IS HE THAT COMES
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD."
00:22:53.40\00:22:55.50
AND THEY PAUSE AND
JESUS, HE TUGS ON THE REINS.
00:22:55.50\00:22:58.26
THE DONKEY STOPS AND THEN
HE BEGINS TO CRY, AND THEY
00:22:58.26\00:23:01.50
COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:23:01.50\00:23:03.36
THEY WERE HOPING IT WAS
TEARS OF JOY BUT THEN HE WENT ON
00:23:03.36\00:23:06.76
AND HE UTTERED SOMETHING.
00:23:06.76\00:23:07.83
HE ALSO SAYS EARLIER IN THE
BOOK OF LUKE, "IF YOU HAD KNOWN,
00:23:07.83\00:23:11.33
EVEN YOU--" HE'S SPEAKING TO
THE CITY IN THE JEWISH NATION.
00:23:11.33\00:23:15.53
"ESPECIALLY IN THIS YOUR DAY THE
THINGS THAT MAKE FOR YOU PEACE,
00:23:15.53\00:23:20.00
BUT NOW THEY'RE
HIDDEN FROM YOUR EYES."
00:23:20.00\00:23:22.10
HERE HE HAD COME, THE JEWS HAD
AN OPPORTUNITY, THE RELIGIOUS
00:23:22.10\00:23:24.76
LEADER--IF THEY HAD WELCOMED HIM
AS KING, HE COULD HAVE BROUGHT
00:23:24.76\00:23:29.30
IN THE SPIRITUAL KINGDOM AND
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN FOREMOST
00:23:29.30\00:23:32.30
IN PROCLAIMING HIM AS A KING.
00:23:32.30\00:23:34.90
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NO THREAT
TO THE ROMANS 'CAUSE IT WAS
00:23:34.90\00:23:36.70
A RELIGIOUS
KINGDOM, HE BROUGHT IT FIRST.
00:23:36.70\00:23:40.06
"BUT THEY'RE HIDDEN FROM YOUR
EYES FOR THE DAYS WILL COME UPON
00:23:40.06\00:23:43.26
YOU WHEN YOU'RE ENEMIES WILL
BUILD AN EMBANKMENT AROUND YOU
00:23:43.26\00:23:46.06
AND SURROUND YOU AND CLOSE YOU
IN ON EVERY SIDE AND LEVEL YOU
00:23:46.06\00:23:50.76
AND YOUR CHILDREN WITHIN YOU
TO THE GROUND AND THEY WILL NOT
00:23:50.76\00:23:54.86
LEAVE IN YOU ONE STONE UPON
ANOTHER BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW
00:23:54.86\00:23:58.73
THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION."
00:23:58.73\00:24:00.63
YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHEN YOUR KING'S
FIRST COMING WAS HAPPENING.
00:24:00.63\00:24:06.96
THEY MISAPPLIED THE PROPHECIES
ABOUT THE FIRST COMING
00:24:06.96\00:24:09.43
AND BECAUSE OF
THAT, THEY WERE DESTROYED.
00:24:09.43\00:24:13.73
COULD IT BE THAT GOD'S CHURCH
IS AT RISK OF MAKING THE SAME
00:24:13.73\00:24:16.86
MISTAKE AGAIN?
00:24:16.86\00:24:18.86
COULD IT BE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE
MISAPPLYING THE PROPHECIES, AND
00:24:18.86\00:24:22.63
I'M SPEAKING NOW TO CHRISTIANITY
IN GENERAL, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
00:24:22.63\00:24:26.76
FOR A SECRET RAPTURE?
00:24:26.76\00:24:28.26
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ALL THESE
THINGS THAT THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:24:28.26\00:24:30.86
REALLY TEACH.
00:24:30.86\00:24:33.06
AND BECAUSE WE'RE MISAPPLYING
THE PROPHECIES, COULD IT BE
00:24:33.06\00:24:35.63
GOD'S PEOPLE ARE NOT GONNA
BE READY FOR THE SECOND COMING
00:24:35.63\00:24:38.80
WHEN IT'S RIGHT UNDER
THEIR NOSE AND NOT RECOGNIZE
00:24:38.80\00:24:41.43
THE DAY OF VISITATION?
00:24:41.43\00:24:44.33
HE WEPT.
00:24:44.33\00:24:46.86
AND THEN, OF COURSE, HE
WENT INTO THE TEMPLE AND
00:24:46.86\00:24:48.80
HE DROVE OUT THE MONEY CHANGERS.
00:24:48.80\00:24:50.53
SO WE HAVE THE TRIUMPHAL
ENTRY OF JESUS ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:24:50.53\00:24:57.73
AND THERE'S SOMETHING
ELSE INTERESTING IN HERE.
00:24:57.73\00:25:01.06
HE WEEPS OVER JERUSALEM.
00:25:01.06\00:25:03.16
BUT A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
GOING BACK TO THE GEOGRAPHY,
00:25:03.16\00:25:05.80
WHEN JESUS PAUSED THERE AND
HE LOOKED AT THE CITY, THE GATE
00:25:05.80\00:25:10.00
THAT HE WENT THROUGH WAS CALLED
THE BEAUTIFUL GATE OR THE GOLDEN
00:25:10.00\00:25:14.66
GATE, NOT TO BE CONFUSED
WITH THE BRIDGE OVER THERE
00:25:14.66\00:25:17.00
BY SAN FRANCISCO.
00:25:17.00\00:25:19.13
IT WAS CALLED THE GOLDEN GATE
AND THE REASON THE JEWS CALLED
00:25:19.13\00:25:22.03
IT THE GOLDEN GATE--THERE
YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF IT,
00:25:22.03\00:25:24.26
THE WAY IT APPEARS TODAY.
00:25:24.26\00:25:25.56
YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT.
00:25:25.56\00:25:27.00
IT DOES NOT HAVE DOORS.
00:25:27.00\00:25:28.00
IT IS ABSOLUTELY
SEALED UP WITH MASONRY.
00:25:28.00\00:25:31.10
IT WAS CALLED THE GOLDEN GATE
BECAUSE THE JEWS ALL BELIEVED
00:25:31.10\00:25:33.70
THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD
ENTER JERUSALEM FROM THE EAST,
00:25:33.70\00:25:37.26
FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:25:37.26\00:25:39.00
BASED ON THE PROPHECY THAT YOU
FIND IN ZECHARIAH 9:9, "REJOICE
00:25:39.00\00:25:44.43
GREATLY, O DAUGHTER OF ZION,
SHOUT, O DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM.
00:25:44.43\00:25:48.23
BEHOLD YOUR KING
IS COMING TO YOU.
00:25:48.23\00:25:50.73
HE IS JUST IN HAVING SALVATION.
00:25:50.73\00:25:52.63
LOWLY AND RIDING ON A DONKEY,
A COLT THE FOAL OF A DONKEY."
00:25:52.63\00:25:56.33
THAT WAS FULFILLED, WASN'T IT?
00:25:56.33\00:25:58.33
CHRIST CAME MEEK.
00:25:58.33\00:26:00.20
AND YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING ABOUT
WHERE DOES MOUNT OF OLIVES COME
00:26:00.20\00:26:04.26
INTO THAT?
00:26:04.26\00:26:05.23
EZEKIEL 11:23, "AND THE GLORY OF
THE LORD WENT UP FROM THE MIDST
00:26:05.23\00:26:10.66
OF THE CITY AND STOOD ON
THE MOUNTAIN THAT IS EAST OF
00:26:10.66\00:26:14.36
THE CITY."
00:26:14.36\00:26:15.66
THEY BELIEVED THAT THE GLORY OF
GOD WOULD COME FROM THE MOUNTAIN
00:26:15.66\00:26:18.90
THAT IS ON THE EAST OF THE CITY.
00:26:18.90\00:26:20.63
AND WE JUST LOOKED AT JERUSALEM.
00:26:20.63\00:26:21.43
WHAT MOUNTAIN
WAS EAST OF THE CITY?
00:26:21.43\00:26:23.96
MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:26:23.96\00:26:26.03
NOW THERE WAS A SULTAN IN
1541 WHO KNEW WHAT THE JEWISH
00:26:26.03\00:26:34.43
PROPHECIES SAID.
00:26:34.43\00:26:35.46
YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF SOLOMON I.
00:26:35.46\00:26:38.16
HE WAS ONE OF THE GREAT
ARAB KINGS WHO FOUGHT AGAINST
00:26:38.16\00:26:42.63
THE CRUSADERS THAT CAME
THAT OCCUPIED JERUSALEM.
00:26:42.63\00:26:45.36
HE SEALED UP THE GOTTEN
GATE, WALLED UP THE CITY AND
00:26:45.36\00:26:48.76
FURTHERMORE, THEY PLANTED
A CEMETERY IN FRONT OF IT
00:26:48.76\00:26:53.16
BECAUSE THEY SAID IT
WOULD RENDER THE PLACE UNCLEAN.
00:26:53.16\00:26:56.63
"THE MESSIAH CANNOT COME
THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE NOW.
00:26:56.63\00:26:59.46
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE JEWISH
MESSIAH FROM COMING BECAUSE
00:26:59.46\00:27:02.66
WE'VE SEALED THE GOLDEN GATE
AND WE'VE MADE IT A DESECRATED
00:27:02.66\00:27:06.23
GROUND WITH A CEMETERY."
00:27:06.23\00:27:08.36
YOU CAN GO THERE TODAY
AND YOU SEE THE TOMBSTONES
00:27:08.36\00:27:10.06
RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT?
00:27:10.06\00:27:11.36
THEY'VE NEVER MOVED THEM
BECAUSE THEY FIGURE WELL, IT'S
00:27:11.36\00:27:13.46
A TOMBSTONE, CAN'T MOVE IT.
00:27:13.46\00:27:15.06
IT'S A GRAVE, THE MUSLIMS SAY
IT'S SACRED TO THEM, BUT THEY'RE
00:27:15.06\00:27:17.76
THUMBING THEIR NOSES AT THE JEWS
SAYING, "YOUR MESSIAH CAN'T COME
00:27:17.76\00:27:20.90
BECAUSE LOOK WHAT WE DID."
00:27:20.90\00:27:23.06
THE ONLY THING IS THEY
WERE ABOUT 1,500 YEARS TOO LATE.
00:27:23.06\00:27:27.43
WHEN THEY DID IT, JESUS
ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE GATE.
00:27:27.43\00:27:30.60
THE MESSIAH DID COME.
00:27:30.60\00:27:33.76
CHRIST PAUSED ON THE
MOUNT OF OLIVES AND HE WEPT OVER
00:27:33.76\00:27:36.30
THE CITY.
00:27:36.30\00:27:36.96
THAT'S STILL PART OF THE
TRIUMPHAL ENTRY SO I DON'T
00:27:36.96\00:27:38.63
COUNT THAT AS A SEPARATE ONE.
00:27:38.63\00:27:40.30
AND WE MAY NEED TO SPEND SOME
TIME WEEPING ON THE MOUNTAIN.
00:27:40.30\00:27:43.80
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES IS
A MOUNTAIN OF REVELATION.
00:27:43.80\00:27:48.60
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
HEARD OF THE OLIVETTE DISCOURSE?
00:27:48.60\00:27:53.33
IT'S CALLED THE--YOU'VE HEARD
OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
00:27:53.33\00:27:56.20
YOU'VE HEARD OF THE
BEATITUDES, OF COURSE.
00:27:56.20\00:27:58.03
THE DIFFERENT GREAT STATEMENTS
OF CHRIST HAVE SOMETIMES
00:27:58.03\00:28:00.53
DIFFERENT PLACES.
00:28:00.53\00:28:02.40
THE SERMON BY THE SEA, THERE'S
DIFFERENT PLACES ASSOCIATED
00:28:02.40\00:28:05.40
WITH IT.
00:28:05.40\00:28:06.46
THE SERMON IN THE UPPER ROOM.
00:28:06.46\00:28:08.63
THE OLIVETTE DISCOURSE YOU'LL
FIND IN LUKE 21, PART OF IT'S
00:28:08.63\00:28:14.56
IN LUKE 17 'CAUSE LUKE GOT
HIS GOSPEL THROUGH INTERVIEWS,
00:28:14.56\00:28:18.23
MATTHEW 24, MARK 13.
00:28:18.23\00:28:21.96
ONE OF THE DAYS AFTER LEAVING
THE TEMPLE, THE DISCIPLES HEARD
00:28:21.96\00:28:28.30
WHAT JESUS SAID WHEN HE REBUKED
THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES AGAIN
00:28:28.30\00:28:31.23
THE LAST WEEK OF HIS LIFE.
00:28:31.23\00:28:33.60
AND THEY SAID, "LORD, I MEAN
YOU KNOW YOU'RE CHURCH IS HERE
00:28:33.60\00:28:37.80
TO STAY.
00:28:37.80\00:28:38.43
YOU'VE GOT
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
00:28:38.43\00:28:39.70
LOOK AT HOW
MASSIVE THE WALLS ARE.
00:28:39.70\00:28:41.20
LOOK AT HOW BIG
THESE STONES ARE."
00:28:41.20\00:28:42.53
THEY HAD SOME STONES
THAT WERE LIKE 50 TONS.
00:28:42.53\00:28:46.43
AND THEY GOT JESUS TO LOOK
AT THE STONES AND JESUS SAID TO
00:28:46.43\00:28:50.20
THEM, "VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE LEFT HERE
00:28:50.20\00:28:55.83
ONE STONE UPON ANOTHER
THAT WILL NOT BE THROWN DOWN."
00:28:55.83\00:28:59.86
NOW WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS
DESTROYED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
00:28:59.86\00:29:02.16
SOME OF THE OLD STONES REMAINED,
ADD WHEN THEY REBUILT, THEY TOOK
00:29:02.16\00:29:06.06
SOME OF THOSE OLD STONES AND
INCORPORATED THEM IN THE TEMPLE
00:29:06.06\00:29:08.76
DURING THE TIME OF EZRA,
NEHEMIAH, LATER REFURBISHED
00:29:08.76\00:29:11.80
BY HEROD THE GREAT.
00:29:11.80\00:29:13.13
BUT CHRIST IS SAYING,
"NEXT TIME, THERE WILL NOT BE
00:29:13.13\00:29:15.26
LEFT A SINGLE STONE; THAT
TEMPLE WILL NEVER BE RE-BUILT
00:29:15.26\00:29:17.86
AGAIN BECAUSE I'M GONNA BUILD
A NEW TEMPLE CALLED MY BODY
00:29:17.86\00:29:20.86
CALLED THE CHURCH."
00:29:20.86\00:29:23.16
THAT'S WHY HE SAID, "DESTROY
THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS.
00:29:23.16\00:29:25.86
IN 3 DAYS I'LL
MAKE ONE WITHOUT HANDS."
00:29:25.86\00:29:28.86
AND THEY WERE FLABBERGASTED,
THAT'S A HEBREW WORD FOR
00:29:28.86\00:29:35.73
DISMAYED, BY WHAT HE SAID.
00:29:35.73\00:29:39.23
THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
00:29:39.23\00:29:41.83
AND SO HE WENT UP OUT OF
THE CITY WHEN HE WAS DONE WITH
00:29:41.83\00:29:44.00
THE TEMPLE.
00:29:44.00\00:29:45.00
HE WENT THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE
AGAIN, WENT UP TO THE MOUNT OF
00:29:45.00\00:29:46.70
OLIVES TO ONE OF THE PLACES
HE USED TO LIKE TO SIT AND LOOK
00:29:46.70\00:29:49.16
AT THE CITY AND
THE SUN WOULD GO DOWN.
00:29:49.16\00:29:51.16
IT WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
00:29:51.16\00:29:53.36
AND THEY DISCIPLES CAME TO
HIM ALONE, THEY SAID, "LORD,
00:29:53.36\00:29:55.70
WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE?
00:29:55.70\00:29:57.30
WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN OF YOUR
COMING TO THE END OF THE WORLD?"
00:29:57.30\00:29:59.26
AND THEN HE LAUNCHED INTO
THE DISCOURSE, THE OLIVETTE
00:29:59.26\00:30:01.93
DISCOURSE LOOKING AT JERUSALEM,
GIVING THEM THE SIGNS OF
00:30:01.93\00:30:07.06
THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM,
THE SIGNS OF HIS RETURN AND
00:30:07.06\00:30:11.40
DESCRIBING THE EVENTS OF THE
SECOND COMING IN GREAT DETAIL.
00:30:11.40\00:30:15.90
THE GREATEST DETAIL YOU'LL FIND
IN THE BIBLE, CHRIST REVEALED
00:30:15.90\00:30:19.03
THE SECRETS OF HIS
RETURN FROM THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:30:19.03\00:30:22.66
IT'S A MOUNT OF REVELATION.
00:30:22.66\00:30:24.20
YOU AND I NEED TO SPEND
TIME ON THAT MOUNTAIN, DON'T WE?
00:30:24.20\00:30:26.66
STUDYING HIS WORD, STUDYING
THE PROPHECIES, LETTING THE LORD
00:30:26.66\00:30:29.23
HELP US UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
00:30:29.23\00:30:34.03
HE REVEALED THE
FUTURE FROM THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:30:34.03\00:30:36.73
I NEVER DID READ THE VERSE.
00:30:36.73\00:30:39.13
MARK 13:3, "NOW AS HE SAT ON
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES OPPOSITE THE
00:30:39.13\00:30:44.26
TEMPLE, PETER, JAMES, JOHN AND
ANDREW, THE FOUR BROTHERS ASKED
00:30:44.26\00:30:48.66
HIM PRIVATELY, 'TELL US,
WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE?
00:30:48.66\00:30:52.56
WHAT WILL BE THE
SIGN WHEN ALL THESE THINGS
00:30:52.56\00:30:54.56
WILL BE FULFILLED?'"
WELL, OF COURSE, LATER ON THAT
00:30:54.56\00:30:58.80
WEEK HE TAUGHT IN THE TEMPLE
EVERY DAY AND HE HAD SEVERAL
00:30:58.80\00:31:01.46
INTENSE SHOWDOWNS WITH THE
SCRIBES AND PHARISEES AND HE
00:31:01.46\00:31:05.43
DENOUNCED THEM AS HYPOCRITES
AND PRETTY MUCH SEALED HIS FATE.
00:31:05.43\00:31:12.90
AS THE PASSOVER APPROACHED, HE
DISTRICTED THE DISCIPLES TO GO
00:31:12.90\00:31:16.93
AND THE SAME THEY FOUND THE
COLT AND THE DONKEY, THEY FOUND
00:31:16.93\00:31:20.00
AN UPPER ROOM THAT WAS GIVEN TO
THEM, JUST DONATED, ALL PREPARED
00:31:20.00\00:31:23.00
MIRACULOUSLY WHERE
THEY ATE THE LAST SUPPER.
00:31:23.00\00:31:26.96
AFTER HE INSTITUTED THE NEW
COVENANT, THE LORD'S SUPPER,
00:31:26.96\00:31:32.90
THEY SANG A SONG THAT WENT OUT.
00:31:32.90\00:31:36.10
IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 26:30,
"AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A HYMN,
00:31:36.10\00:31:40.96
THEY WENT OUT
TO--" WHERE'D THEY GO?
00:31:40.96\00:31:44.56
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:31:44.56\00:31:47.26
AND JESUS CAME WITH THEM.
00:31:47.26\00:31:49.93
NOW I'M IN MATTHEW 26:36,
"JESUS CAME WITH THEM TO A PLACE
00:31:49.93\00:31:54.06
CALLED GETHSEMANE AND SAID TO
THE DISCIPLES, 'SIT HERE WHILE
00:31:54.06\00:31:59.50
I GO OVER THERE AND
PRAY.'" THE WORD "GETHSEMANE"
00:31:59.50\00:32:02.43
MEANS OLIVE PRESS.
00:32:02.43\00:32:04.73
NOW WOULDN'T THAT
BE A PRACTICAL PLACE?
00:32:04.73\00:32:06.26
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU GROW A LOT
OF GRAPES IN NAPA, GOOD PLACE
00:32:06.26\00:32:10.36
FOR GRAPE PRESS WOULD BE NAPA.
00:32:10.36\00:32:12.13
YOU WOULDN'T PUT YOUR GRAPE
PRESS IN IOWA WHERE THE CORN IS.
00:32:12.13\00:32:16.03
AND SO YOU'VE GOT YOUR OLIVE
PRESS WHERE ALL THE OLIVE TREES
00:32:16.03\00:32:18.70
ARE, THAT MAKES SENSE.
00:32:18.70\00:32:21.00
AND THIS IS A PLACE WHERE
CHRIST WENT THROUGH A CRUSHING.
00:32:21.00\00:32:24.96
YOU KNOW GETTING OLIVE OIL
IS--TAKES MORE PRESSURE THAN
00:32:24.96\00:32:30.76
GETTING GRAPE JUICE.
00:32:30.76\00:32:33.13
YOU COULD THROW A BUNCH OF
GRAPES IN A BARREL AND JUMP UP
00:32:33.13\00:32:35.73
AND DOWN AND
YOU'LL GET GRAPE JUICE.
00:32:35.73\00:32:38.30
YOU CAN GET GRAPE JUICE BY
SQUEEZING THEM IN YOUR HAND.
00:32:38.30\00:32:40.90
IN FACT THERE'S A VISION IN
THE BIBLE ABOUT GRAPES BEING
00:32:40.90\00:32:43.50
SQUEEZED OUT OF
THE HAND INTO A CUP.
00:32:43.50\00:32:46.46
I DARE YOU TO TRY AND
GET OLIVE OIL THAT WAY.
00:32:46.46\00:32:50.10
NOW WE'VE GOT OLIVE
TREES ALL AROUND OUR CHURCH.
00:32:50.10\00:32:54.33
THEY'RE BEAUTIFULLY
MANICURED IN THE COURTYARD HERE.
00:32:54.33\00:32:57.63
THEY ALL LOOK
LIKE POODLES TO ME.
00:32:57.63\00:33:00.30
AND THEN OUT FRONT
WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
00:33:00.30\00:33:02.26
THERE'S SOME BIG ONES.
00:33:02.26\00:33:03.63
THEY'RE 40 YEARS OLD.
00:33:03.63\00:33:04.80
THEY'RE BIG OLIVE TREES.
00:33:04.80\00:33:07.10
I'VE BEEN TO THE
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:33:07.10\00:33:08.53
THEY SAY SOME OF THE TREES THERE
DATE BACK TO THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:33:08.53\00:33:12.30
AND YOU KNOW, SUPPOSEDLY, ONE
OF THE UNIVERSITIES DID A CORE
00:33:12.30\00:33:16.46
SAMPLING, THEY SAID YES,
THERE ARE SOME TREES HERE THAT
00:33:16.46\00:33:18.86
ARE OVER 2,000 YEARS OLD.
00:33:18.86\00:33:20.60
OLIVE TREES ARE
EXTREMELY DURABLE.
00:33:20.60\00:33:23.96
THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE
THOSE BRISTLECONE PINE.
00:33:23.96\00:33:26.70
PART OF 'EM DIES AND
PART OF 'EM STAYS ALIVE
00:33:26.70\00:33:28.53
AND STARTS LIVING AGAIN.
00:33:28.53\00:33:30.50
AND THEY'VE GOT SOME TREES THAT
ARE JUST VERY WIDE AND SHORT
00:33:30.50\00:33:33.90
STUBBY TREES,
VERY OLD ANCIENT TREES.
00:33:33.90\00:33:38.53
OUT IN THE COURTYARD HERE IF YOU
PAUSE AFTER YOU LEAVE CHURCH,
00:33:38.53\00:33:43.23
YOU SNIFF A LITTLE BIT.
00:33:43.23\00:33:44.66
IF YOU'VE GOT A GOOD SENSE
OF SMELL, YOU'RE GONNA THINK YOU
00:33:44.66\00:33:46.43
SMELL RANCID OIL.
00:33:46.43\00:33:49.26
AND WE'RE NOT PROUD OF THAT BUT
AFTER THE OLIVES FALL AND YOU
00:33:49.26\00:33:52.83
ALL DRIVE OVER THEM BEFORE WE
GET 'EM RAKED UP, VOILA, OLIVE
00:33:52.83\00:33:57.50
PRESS IN THE FRONT
YARD OF THE CHURCH.
00:33:57.50\00:34:01.10
BUT TO GET THE OLIVE OIL
REQUIRED A STONE, A HEAVY STONE
00:34:01.10\00:34:07.13
AND THEY LAY THE OLIVES DOWN
IN THIS STONE TROUGH AND THEY'D
00:34:07.13\00:34:09.83
ROLL A STONE OVER 'EM
AND THEY CRUSH OUT THE OIL.
00:34:09.83\00:34:13.26
AND THEY CONTINUED TO HEAT
IT AND REFINE IT UNTIL THEY JUST
00:34:13.26\00:34:15.50
GOT THE PURE OLIVE OIL.
00:34:15.50\00:34:18.63
JESUS THERE IN THE GARDEN
OF GETHSEMANE, HE WENT THROUGH
00:34:18.63\00:34:22.40
A PRESS.
00:34:22.40\00:34:23.60
HE WAS REALLY CRUSHED TO
THE POINT WHERE LUKE RECORDS
00:34:23.60\00:34:26.66
HE WAS SWEATING BLOOD.
00:34:26.66\00:34:30.90
IT WASN'T EVEN BLOOD THAT WAS
EXTRACTED BY THE NAILS AND THE
00:34:30.90\00:34:34.06
SPEAR OR THE WHIP OR THE THORNS.
00:34:34.06\00:34:37.23
HE ALREADY BEGAN TO BLEED FOR
US IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:34:37.23\00:34:40.23
AND DON'T FORGET THAT, FRIENDS.
00:34:40.23\00:34:41.70
CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS
DID NOT BEGIN ON THE CROSS.
00:34:41.70\00:34:46.83
CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS DID
NOT BEGIN WHEN PILATE HAD HIM
00:34:46.83\00:34:50.06
FLOGGED OR WHEN HEROD HAD
HIM WHIPPED OR WHEN HE WAS
00:34:50.06\00:34:53.33
ABUSED IN THE TRIAL.
00:34:53.33\00:34:56.33
CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS BEGAN
AS AN OFFERING FROM HIMSELF IN
00:34:56.33\00:34:59.86
THE GARDEN WHEN HE
SAID, "NOW IS THE HOUR."
00:34:59.86\00:35:03.13
BY THE WAY, WHEN HE SAYS
3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS, IT'S
00:35:03.13\00:35:05.00
TALKING ABOUT HIS SUFFERINGS.
00:35:05.00\00:35:06.66
HEART OF THE EARTH HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOMB.
00:35:06.66\00:35:08.73
IT'S TALKING ABOUT WHEN
CHRIST WAS IN THE CLUTCHES OF
00:35:08.73\00:35:11.06
THE WORLD, SUFFERING
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
00:35:11.06\00:35:13.03
THURSDAY NIGHT, FRIDAY
NIGHT, SATURDAY, THREE DAYS
00:35:13.03\00:35:15.66
AND THREE NIGHTS.
00:35:15.66\00:35:16.30
IT BEGAN--HE BEGAN BLEEDING IN
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE THERE
00:35:16.30\00:35:20.90
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:35:20.90\00:35:23.23
MATTER OF FACT, I THINK IT'S
SIGNIFICANT THAT WHEN JESUS LEFT
00:35:23.23\00:35:26.30
THE TEMPLE AND CROSSED THE
KIDRON VALLEY, HE HAD TO PASS
00:35:26.30\00:35:30.83
OVER THE BLOOD THAT WAS COMING
FROM THE PASSOVER SACRIFICES TO
00:35:30.83\00:35:35.43
GO TO THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:35:35.43\00:35:39.00
THERE'S NO WAY
FOR HIM TO GET THERE.
00:35:39.00\00:35:41.66
WHEN GOING THROUGH THAT GATE,
HE HAD TO STEP OVER WHERE THAT
00:35:41.66\00:35:44.70
BLOOD WAS RUNNING THROUGH
THAT VALLEY TO GET THERE.
00:35:44.70\00:35:47.26
HE PASSED OVER THE
BLOOD, CROSSED OVER.
00:35:47.26\00:35:49.03
IN THE GARDEN THERE HE
BEGAN SUFFERING FOR THE SINS OF
00:35:49.03\00:35:50.80
THE WORLD.
00:35:50.80\00:35:52.10
EVERY OTHER TIME WHEN A MOB CAME
TO ARREST JESUS AND CARRY HIM
00:35:52.10\00:35:54.90
AWAY, HE SLIPPED
THROUGH THEIR FINGERS.
00:35:54.90\00:35:58.10
BUT THAT NIGHT WHEN HE TOLD
HIM TO PRAY ON THE MOUNTAIN,
00:35:58.10\00:36:00.40
HE SAID, "NOW IS THE HOUR."
00:36:00.40\00:36:02.70
WHEN JUDAS CAME AND THE MOB
GRABBED HIM AND HE WAS BETRAYED,
00:36:02.70\00:36:06.40
HE BEGAN SUFFERING
FOR HIS OWN PEOPLE.
00:36:06.40\00:36:10.13
HE WAS PRAYING AND AGONIZING
AND WEEPING AND SAYING, "NOT
00:36:10.13\00:36:14.16
MY WILL, THY WILL BE DONE."
00:36:14.16\00:36:16.10
BY THE WAY, PROBABLY OF
THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE NEED TO
00:36:16.10\00:36:20.20
REPLICATE THAT CHRIST
HAD ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
00:36:20.20\00:36:22.46
WHAT I JUST DESCRIBED IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT EXPERIENCE.
00:36:22.46\00:36:24.60
YOU STILL WITH ME?
00:36:24.60\00:36:25.86
TO HAVE THAT PRAYER WITH CHRIST
AND MEAN IT THE WAY HE MEANT
00:36:25.86\00:36:29.43
IT WHERE WE SAY, "LORD, NOT
MY WILL, YOUR WILL BE DONE."
00:36:29.43\00:36:33.23
TO POUR OURSELVES OUT.
00:36:33.23\00:36:36.96
PETER TALKS ABOUT
YOU'VE NOT RESISTED UNTO BLOOD.
00:36:36.96\00:36:40.03
HE TALKS ABOUT
RESISTING THAT SELFISH NATURE.
00:36:40.03\00:36:44.33
IT'S JUST AGONIZING
WITH THE LORD SAYING, "LORD,
00:36:44.33\00:36:46.66
NOT MY WILL, THY WILL BE DONE.
00:36:46.66\00:36:48.03
I'M TOTALLY YOURS,
WHATEVER YOU WANT."
00:36:48.03\00:36:50.80
THAT'S WHAT JESUS DID THERE IN
THE GARDEN, AND WE NEED TO HAVE
00:36:50.80\00:36:53.56
THAT EXPERIENCE IN
THE GARDEN WITH HIM.
00:36:53.56\00:36:55.73
HE WEPT THERE.
00:36:55.73\00:36:56.80
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T READ THAT
WITHOUT ALSO REMEMBERING TWICE
00:36:56.80\00:37:02.53
NOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT JESUS
WEEPING ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:37:02.53\00:37:05.90
THERE'S REALLY THREE TIMES.
00:37:05.90\00:37:09.06
WHAT'S THE
SHORTEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE?
00:37:09.06\00:37:11.26
I GOTTA ASK YOU
QUESTIONS TO WAKE YOU UP?
00:37:11.26\00:37:13.36
SHORTEST VERSE.
00:37:13.36\00:37:14.86
IN HEBREW IT'S REJOICE EVERMORE.
00:37:14.86\00:37:18.03
NO, IN GREEK IT'S
"REJOICE EVERMORE."
00:37:18.03\00:37:20.10
IN ENGLISH IT'S "JESUS WEPT."
00:37:20.10\00:37:23.10
WHEN DID JESUS SAY THAT
OR WHEN IS THAT RECORDED?
00:37:23.10\00:37:28.16
WHEN HE RESURRECTS LAZARUS.
00:37:28.16\00:37:30.73
WHERE DID LAZARUS LIVE?
00:37:30.73\00:37:33.66
BETHANY.
00:37:33.66\00:37:35.36
I JUST WANT TO SEE IF
YOU'RE HERE LISTENING TO ME.
00:37:35.36\00:37:37.06
WHERE WAS BETHANY?
00:37:37.06\00:37:38.76
IT'S ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:37:38.76\00:37:40.80
SO JESUS WEPT ON THE MOUNT
OF OLIVES AT LAZARUS' TOMB.
00:37:40.80\00:37:44.36
BY THE WAY, JESUS CURSED THE
FIG TREE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:37:44.36\00:37:47.93
IT SAYS HE CAME OUT OF BETHANY,
THAT'S WHERE HE SAW THE FIG TREE
00:37:47.93\00:37:52.00
'CAUSE IT WAS FRUITLESS.
00:37:52.00\00:37:54.43
JESUS WEPT OTHER JERUSALEM
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:37:54.43\00:37:59.60
JESUS WEPT IN THE GARDEN
OF GETHSEMANE ON THE MOUNT OF
00:37:59.60\00:38:02.96
OLIVES.
00:38:02.96\00:38:04.50
AND WE MAY HAVE TO SPEND SOME
TIME WEEPING AND PRAYING FOR
00:38:04.50\00:38:09.13
THE SPIRIT ON THAT
MOUNTAIN WITH OUR LORD.
00:38:09.13\00:38:12.26
KING DAVID.
00:38:12.26\00:38:14.33
YOU KNOW, I WAS ALWAYS
THOUGHT THIS WAS SIGNIFICANT.
00:38:14.33\00:38:17.23
JESUS WAS WEEPING OVER THE CITY
BEING TAKEN BY THE ROMANS AND
00:38:17.23\00:38:22.56
BEING LEVELED BY AN ENEMY.
00:38:22.56\00:38:24.63
DAVID LEFT JERUSALEM, HE WENT
THROUGH THAT GATE, HE WALKED UP
00:38:24.63\00:38:28.43
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND HE
WEPT OVER JERUSALEM BECAUSE IT
00:38:28.43\00:38:32.23
HAD BEEN TAKEN BY HIS
SON WHO HAD BECOME HIS ENEMY.
00:38:32.23\00:38:35.50
YOU READ THAT IN 2 SAMUEL 15.
00:38:35.50\00:38:38.33
"SO DAVID WENT UP BY THE
ASSENT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
00:38:38.33\00:38:40.93
AND HE WEPT AS HE WENT."
00:38:40.93\00:38:43.43
JUST LIKE JESUS.
00:38:43.43\00:38:45.03
ALL RIGHT, BACK TO GETHSEMANE.
00:38:45.03\00:38:49.10
LUKE 22:39, "COMING OUT,
HE WENT TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
00:38:49.10\00:38:52.26
AS HE WAS ACCUSTOMED.
00:38:52.26\00:38:53.53
HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM.
00:38:53.53\00:38:55.56
WHEN HE CAME TO THE PLACE
HE SAID, 'PRAY THAT YOU MAY NOT
00:38:55.56\00:38:58.50
ENTER INTO TEMPTATION.'"
SO WE PRAY WITH HIM
00:38:58.50\00:39:02.83
ON THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:39:02.83\00:39:04.16
THE DISCIPLES WENT TO SLEEP
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES WHEN THEY
00:39:04.16\00:39:06.60
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWAKE AND
PRAYING, SLEEPING WHEN THEY
00:39:06.60\00:39:11.23
SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRAYING.
00:39:11.23\00:39:13.10
NOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT,
WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH.
00:39:13.10\00:39:17.43
GEOGRAPHICALLY HE'S ARRESTED
THERE, TAKEN BACK THROUGH THE
00:39:17.43\00:39:23.10
GOLDEN GATE, NOT NOW AS A KING
BUT HE'S CARRIED THROUGH THE
00:39:23.10\00:39:26.63
GOLDEN GATE NOW AS A PRISONER.
00:39:26.63\00:39:28.80
AND HE GOES THROUGH A CIRCUITOUS
ROUTE THROUGH THE CITY FROM
00:39:28.80\00:39:32.03
TRIAL TO TRIAL FROM THE HOUSE OF
ANNAS TO CAIAPHAS TO PILATE AND
00:39:32.03\00:39:36.03
HEROD AND ALL AROUND THE CITY.
00:39:36.03\00:39:38.66
HE ENDS UP GOING OUT OF
THE NORTHERN GATE WHERE HE'S
00:39:38.66\00:39:42.33
CRUCIFIED.
00:39:42.33\00:39:45.10
WONDER WHAT KIND OF
TREE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED ON?
00:39:45.10\00:39:49.83
TYPICALLY WE SEE A PIECE OF
LUMBER THAT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
00:39:49.83\00:39:53.06
YOU'D SEE AT HOME DEPOT, EXCEPT
IT'S MORE LIKE A 6 BY 6 THAN
00:39:53.06\00:39:55.96
4 BY 4, ROUGH CUT.
00:39:55.96\00:39:59.03
I'M ALWAYS ANNOYED WHEN I
SEE PEOPLE MAKE DEPICTIONS OF
00:39:59.03\00:40:04.60
THE CROSS AND
THEY GET PLANED LUMBER.
00:40:04.60\00:40:08.33
THEY DIDN'T START PLANING
LUMBER UNTIL THE LAST CENTURY.
00:40:08.33\00:40:12.43
THE LUMBER CAME FROM A SAW, IT
WAS WHAT THEY CALLED ROUGH CUT.
00:40:12.43\00:40:14.86
YOU MEN KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:40:14.86\00:40:16.16
FULL DIMENSION ROUGH CUT.
00:40:16.16\00:40:17.16
SOME OF YOU STILL HAVE IT IN
YOUR HOUSES, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
00:40:17.16\00:40:18.70
IT.
00:40:18.70\00:40:19.73
IT'S GOOD IF YOU GOT A HOUSE
BUILT WITH ROUGHER-CUT LUMBER.
00:40:19.73\00:40:22.03
THERE'S MORE TO IT.
00:40:22.03\00:40:23.33
YOU GET A 2 BY 4, TODAY
IT'S NOT EVEN 2 BY 4 ANYMORE.
00:40:23.33\00:40:27.83
IT'S 1 1/2 BY 2 3/4.
00:40:27.83\00:40:31.93
IS THAT RIGHT, MEN?
00:40:31.93\00:40:33.43
SOMETHING LIKE
THAT OR 1 3/4 BY 2 3/4.
00:40:33.43\00:40:35.86
IT'S CAUSE IT'S
BEEN PLANED, SMOOTHED.
00:40:35.86\00:40:38.36
JESUS WAS NOT CRUCIFIED
ON A SMOOTH PIECE OF BOARD,
00:40:38.36\00:40:41.20
IT WAS ROUGH.
00:40:41.20\00:40:42.90
AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS
FROM THE CEDARS OF LEBANON.
00:40:42.90\00:40:47.46
YOU KNOW THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE
WITH THE MOUNTAIN OF OLIVES
00:40:47.46\00:40:50.43
RIGHT THERE AND THOSE
OLIVE TREES FLOURISHING.
00:40:50.43\00:40:53.16
HAVE YOU SEEN HOW TALL OUR OLIVE
TREES ARE OUT BACK, OUT FRONT?
00:40:53.16\00:40:56.80
YOU CAN EASILY MAKE A LONG
CROSS OUT OF ANY OF THOSE LIMBS.
00:40:56.80\00:41:00.43
VERY POSSIBLE THAT JESUS WAS
EVEN CRUCIFIED ON AN OLIVE TREE.
00:41:00.43\00:41:05.30
AND IF YOU GO TO ISRAEL TODAY,
YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH
00:41:05.30\00:41:08.13
THEY DO WITH OLIVE WOOD.
00:41:08.13\00:41:12.63
SO THEY BURY HIM
AND WE KNOW THE STORY.
00:41:12.63\00:41:17.40
MARY COMES.
00:41:17.40\00:41:18.60
AND I'M NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE
ONE OF THE GREAT EVENTS IN
00:41:18.60\00:41:21.23
THE BIBLE, BUT I WANT
TO GET TO THE NEXT EVENT OF
00:41:21.23\00:41:23.33
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:41:23.33\00:41:25.20
HE ASCENDS TO HEAVEN, COMES BACK
DOWN, APPEARS TO THE DISCIPLES
00:41:25.20\00:41:29.93
OVER A PERIOD OF 40
DAYS TO ENCOURAGE THEM, OPENS
00:41:29.93\00:41:33.16
THE WORD TO THEM.
00:41:33.16\00:41:34.20
AND AS JESUS PREPARES FOR HIS
LAST JOURNEY UP, AT ONE POINT HE
00:41:34.20\00:41:39.56
SAYS, "MEET ME IN GALILEE."
00:41:39.56\00:41:41.06
HAVE YOU READ ABOUT
THIS IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15?
00:41:41.06\00:41:43.36
HE TOLD THEM HE WAS GONNA
MEET WITH THEM AND 500 DISCIPLES
00:41:43.36\00:41:47.40
GATHERED.
00:41:47.40\00:41:48.86
AND NOT ONLY DID HE APPEAR TO
THE TWO ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS,
00:41:48.86\00:41:51.83
AND HE APPEARED TO MARY
AND THE WOMEN AT THE TOMB
00:41:51.83\00:41:53.93
AND HE APPEARED TO
PETER ALONE, EVIDENTLY.
00:41:53.93\00:41:55.90
HE APPEARED TO PAUL LATER ON THE
ROAD TO DAMASCUS, BUT THERE WAS
00:41:55.90\00:41:59.13
ANOTHER TIME THAT IT SAYS HE
APPEARED TO OVER 500 AT ONE TIME
00:41:59.13\00:42:04.13
THAT'S 'CAUSE HE HAD TOLD THEM
"I'LL MEET YOU UP IN GALILEE."
00:42:04.13\00:42:07.00
HE APPEARED TO THEM UP ON
A MOUNTAIN THERE IN GALILEE,
00:42:07.00\00:42:10.13
AND HE COULD HAVE ASCENDED
TO HEAVEN FROM THAT MOUNTAIN
00:42:10.13\00:42:11.93
BUT HE DIDN'T.
00:42:11.93\00:42:13.23
HE CAME BACK DOWN TO JERUSALEM,
HE APPEARED TO THEM ONE MORE
00:42:13.23\00:42:15.63
TIME IN JERUSALEM.
00:42:15.63\00:42:18.86
THAT'S WHERE HE
ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.
00:42:18.86\00:42:21.33
WHERE DO YOU THINK IT WAS?
00:42:21.33\00:42:22.90
LUKE 24:50, "AND HE LED THEM OUT
AS FAR AS BETHANY AND HE LIFTED
00:42:22.90\00:42:32.70
UP HIS HANDS
AND HE BLESSED THEM.
00:42:32.70\00:42:35.66
NOW IT CAME TO PASS WHILE HE
BLESSED THEM THAT HE WAS PARTED
00:42:35.66\00:42:39.43
FROM THEM AND
CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN."
00:42:39.43\00:42:43.36
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT
WHERE THAT WAS, YOU'VE GOTTA
00:42:43.36\00:42:46.13
GO TO THE BOOK OF ACTS.
00:42:46.13\00:42:47.36
LUKE ALSO WROTE
THE BOOK OF ACTS.
00:42:47.36\00:42:49.43
ACTS 1:4-5, "AND BEING ASSEMBLED
TOGETHER WITH THEM, HE COMMANDED
00:42:49.43\00:42:55.03
THEM NOT TO
DEPART FROM JERUSALEM."
00:42:55.03\00:42:57.60
SO WHERE ARE THEY?
00:42:57.60\00:42:59.03
THEY'RE NEAR JERUSALEM, RIGHT?
00:42:59.03\00:43:00.96
"BUT TO WAIT FOR THE PROMISE
OF THE FATHER WHICH HE HAS SAID,
00:43:00.96\00:43:04.33
'YOU'VE HEARD FROM ME, FOR JOHN
TRULY BAPTIZED YOU WITH WATER
00:43:04.33\00:43:08.30
BUT YOU SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT NOT MANY DAYS
00:43:08.30\00:43:11.66
FROM NOW.' THEN THEY
RETURNED TO JERUSALEM
00:43:11.66\00:43:14.40
FROM THE MOUNT CALLED OLIVETTE."
00:43:14.40\00:43:16.93
SO WHERE DID JESUS
MAKE THE STATEMENT TO THEM?
00:43:16.93\00:43:19.90
IT SAYS THEY'RE
NOT FAR FROM JERUSALEM.
00:43:19.90\00:43:22.33
HE POINTS TO JERUSALEM, HE SAYS,
"NOW DON'T LEAVE JERUSALEM AND
00:43:22.33\00:43:24.23
START PREACHING EVERYWHERE
UNTIL YOU GET THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:43:24.23\00:43:27.60
IT WAS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
THAT HE ASCENDED, BUT I THINK
00:43:27.60\00:43:29.96
IT'S INTERESTING IT
WAS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:43:29.96\00:43:31.86
WHAT DOES OLIVE OIL REPRESENT?
00:43:31.86\00:43:34.56
HE SAYS, "DON'T LEAVE UNTIL
YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:43:34.56\00:43:39.33
HE WANTED THEM TO HAVE
THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT
00:43:39.33\00:43:41.26
AND THEN HE ASCENDS TO HEAVEN.
00:43:41.26\00:43:42.90
JUST BEFORE HE ASCENDS, HE
GIVES THEM THE GREAT COMMISSION.
00:43:42.90\00:43:47.80
"GO YE THEREFORE AND TEACH
ALL NATIONS BAPTIZING THEM IN
00:43:47.80\00:43:52.36
THE NAME OF THE
FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT.
00:43:52.36\00:43:55.16
ALL AUTHORITY HAS
BEEN GIVEN UNTO ME."
00:43:55.16\00:43:57.03
AND HE GIVES THEM
THE GREAT COMMISSION.
00:43:57.03\00:43:59.00
WHERE IS HE
STANDING WHEN HE GIVES THAT?
00:43:59.00\00:44:01.26
IT'S JUST BEFORE HE ASCENDS.
00:44:01.26\00:44:03.36
YOU CAN READ MARK'S VERSION,
IT TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
00:44:03.36\00:44:05.63
THE MIRACLES THAT WILL ATTEND
THE MINISTRY OF THE DISCIPLES.
00:44:05.63\00:44:09.40
ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING
ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:44:09.40\00:44:11.33
WHY?
00:44:11.33\00:44:13.16
JUST 'CAUSE IT WAS A CONVENIENT
REST STOP ON THE ROAD THROUGH
00:44:13.16\00:44:15.46
JERUSALEM OR IS THERE A REASON
FOR EVERYTHING THAT GOD DOES?
00:44:15.46\00:44:19.46
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A REASON.
00:44:19.46\00:44:21.80
I THINK THAT MOUNTAIN FROM WHICH
OIL FLOWED, THAT MOUNTAIN OF
00:44:21.80\00:44:26.40
THREE LIGHTS LIKE THE
FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT.
00:44:26.40\00:44:29.60
THAT MOUNTAIN THAT OVERLOOKED
JERUSALEM IS A MOUNTAIN THAT HE
00:44:29.60\00:44:34.66
CHOSE DELIBERATELY TO HELP
US THINK ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
00:44:34.66\00:44:38.56
THE SPIRIT IN EVERYTHING WE DO.
00:44:38.56\00:44:41.10
IF THERE'S ANY ONE THING WE
SHOULD PRAY FOR, IT'S MOUNTAIN
00:44:41.10\00:44:44.30
OF OLIVES IN OUR LIVES.
00:44:44.30\00:44:45.73
THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:44:45.73\00:44:48.03
IT'S THE LIGHT OF
GOD'S SPIRIT IN OUR LIFE.
00:44:48.03\00:44:50.56
NOW YOU MIGHT SPEND
TIME ON A MOUNTAIN WEEPING.
00:44:50.56\00:44:54.33
YOU MIGHT BE ON THAT MOUNTAIN
CROWNED AS KING REJOICING.
00:44:54.33\00:44:59.10
YOU MIGHT BE ON THE
MOUNTAIN BEING ANOINTED.
00:44:59.10\00:45:02.33
THERE WAS ALL KINDS OF
THINGS JESUS TAUGHT THEM.
00:45:02.33\00:45:05.16
HE REVEALED THE FUTURE
TO THEM ON THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:45:05.16\00:45:07.33
ALL THESE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES
HAPPEN ON THAT MOUNTAIN.
00:45:07.33\00:45:09.90
THEY WERE CHARGED AND
COMMISSIONED AND COMFORTED
00:45:09.90\00:45:11.86
AND TAUGHT.
00:45:11.86\00:45:12.73
THEY SLEPT, THEY
PRAYED ALL ON THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:45:12.73\00:45:15.36
AND ALL OF THE THOSE THINGS THAT
WE'RE DESCRIBING ARE MOUNTAINTOP
00:45:15.36\00:45:20.06
EXPERIENCES WE HAVE IF
THEY'RE BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT.
00:45:20.06\00:45:24.06
IF THERE'S ANY SINGLE POINT
THAT I WOULD WANT YOU TO GRASP
00:45:24.06\00:45:27.56
FROM THAT, IT WOULD
BE WE NEED THAT BAPTISM.
00:45:27.56\00:45:30.53
NOW WE'RE NOT DONE
WITH THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:45:30.53\00:45:32.93
IT'S STILL GONNA COME
ONE MORE TIME IN THE BIBLE.
00:45:32.93\00:45:35.93
PART OF THE BIBLE
IS NOT FULFILLED YET.
00:45:35.93\00:45:39.20
GO WITH ME--OH, I BY THE WAY, IF
YOU GO TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
00:45:39.20\00:45:44.10
I'VE BEEN THERE, TODAY THEY'VE
ACTUALLY GOT A DOME THERE.
00:45:44.10\00:45:47.10
THEY'VE GOT TWO OR THREE
CHURCHES ON THE SUMMITS AND
00:45:47.10\00:45:49.36
HERE'S ONE CALLED THE DOME OF
THE ASCENSION BECAUSE THEY KNOW
00:45:49.36\00:45:52.00
THIS IS WHERE HE ASCENDED.
00:45:52.00\00:45:53.23
A LOT OF PEOPLE GO AND
THEY MAKE PILGRIMAGES HERE.
00:45:53.23\00:45:55.56
THEY SAY THIS WAS THE LAST PLACE
ON EARTH WHERE JESUS BE TOUCHED.
00:45:55.56\00:46:00.70
AND IT'S A
SACRED PLACE FOR THEM.
00:46:00.70\00:46:03.80
IT WAS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
AS HE ASCENDED TO HEAVEN WHERE
00:46:03.80\00:46:06.83
HE PROMISED THAT HE
WOULD COME BACK AGAIN.
00:46:06.83\00:46:09.53
REMEMBER WHEN THEY--THE
DISCIPLES WERE LOOKING UP
00:46:09.53\00:46:11.40
AND JESUS
DISAPPEARED OUT OF THEIR SIGHT?
00:46:11.40\00:46:13.33
TWO ANGELS
SUDDENLY APPEARED, RIGHT?
00:46:13.33\00:46:16.36
THEY SAID, "MEN OF GALILEE,
WHY DO YOU STAND HERE GAZING UP
00:46:16.36\00:46:18.56
INTO THE HEAVENS?
00:46:18.56\00:46:19.23
THIS SAME JESUS THAT ASCENDED
FROM HEAVEN INTO HEAVEN WILL
00:46:19.23\00:46:23.96
RETURN IN LIKE MANNER
AS YOU HAVE SEEN HIM GO."
00:46:23.96\00:46:27.70
WHERE, WHERE DID
THEY HEAR THOSE WORDS?
00:46:27.70\00:46:30.23
PROMISE OF HIS RETURN.
00:46:30.23\00:46:31.86
THOSE ANGELS CAME, RIGHT THERE
THEY'RE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
00:46:31.86\00:46:34.10
GAZING UP INTO THE SKY.
00:46:34.10\00:46:35.90
NOT ONLY DOES THE PROMISE OF HIS
RETURN NOT ONLY HAPPEN THERE ON
00:46:35.90\00:46:40.50
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES--AND I
WANT YOU TO SEE THAT PICTURE.
00:46:40.50\00:46:44.23
THERE WE GO.
00:46:44.23\00:46:46.10
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING
BY HARRY ANDERSON, THE DISCIPLES
00:46:46.10\00:46:48.43
GAZING UP INTO THE SKY.
00:46:48.43\00:46:50.16
AND THE LAST TIME THEY
SAW HIM, HE WENT UP FROM
00:46:50.16\00:46:55.06
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:46:55.06\00:46:56.03
WHERE DO YOU THINK HIS FEET
WILL TOUCH AGAIN NEXT WHEN HE
00:46:56.03\00:46:58.90
COMES BACK TO THIS WORLD?
00:46:58.90\00:47:00.70
TURN IN YOUR
BIBLES TO ZECHARIAH 14.
00:47:00.70\00:47:07.13
ZECHARIAH 14:4, SPEAKING OF
THE DAY OF THE LORD, "AND IN
00:47:07.13\00:47:15.36
THAT DAY, HIS FEET WILL STAND
ON THE," SAY IT WITH ME, "MOUNT
00:47:15.36\00:47:20.93
OF OLIVES WHICH FACES
JERUSALEM ON THE EAST."
00:47:20.93\00:47:25.90
WHY DO YOU THINK MOST CEMETERIES
IN NORTH AMERICA ARE MADE
00:47:25.90\00:47:28.73
SO THAT THEY FACE THE EAST?
00:47:28.73\00:47:31.56
FROM WHAT
DIRECTION DOES JESUS COME?
00:47:31.56\00:47:33.80
SUPPOSED TO COME FROM THE EAST.
00:47:33.80\00:47:37.60
"MAKING A VERY LARGE VALLEY.
00:47:37.60\00:47:41.20
HALF OF THE MOUNTAIN SHALL MOVE
TOWARD THE NORTH AND HALF OF IT
00:47:41.20\00:47:43.80
SHALL MOVE TOWARD THE SOUTH."
00:47:43.80\00:47:45.66
THIS VALLEY'S GONNA
BE ABOUT 375 MILES WIDE.
00:47:45.66\00:47:51.36
TALK ABOUT A GRAND CANYON.
00:47:51.36\00:47:53.03
"THE VALLEY
SHALL REACH FROM AZIEL.
00:47:53.03\00:47:56.00
YES, IT SHALL FLEE AS
YOU FLED FROM THE EARTHQUAKE
00:47:56.00\00:47:58.36
IN THE DAYS OF UZZIAH THE KING.
00:47:58.36\00:48:00.56
THUS SAYS THE LORD, MY GOD
WILL COME AND ALL THE SAINTS
00:48:00.56\00:48:03.16
WITH YOU."
00:48:03.16\00:48:03.86
SO HERE IT SAYS WHEN HE COMES
WITH ALL THE REDEEMED AFTER
00:48:03.86\00:48:07.03
THE 1,000 YEARS OF
LIVING AND REIGNING WITH HIM
00:48:07.03\00:48:09.63
AND GLORY IN OUR MANSIONS,
HE WILL COME DOWN TO EARTH.
00:48:09.63\00:48:13.00
THE NEW JERUSALEM WILL BE
FOLLOWING THROUGH THE HEAVENS.
00:48:13.00\00:48:16.10
THE FIRST PLACE HIS FEET
TOUCH ON THIS DEVASTATED PLANET,
00:48:16.10\00:48:20.40
THE WHOLE PLANET IS GONNA BE IN
DARKNESS FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
00:48:20.40\00:48:24.03
IT'S GONNA BE DESOLATED.
00:48:24.03\00:48:25.33
HIS FEET ARE GONNA
TOUCH THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:48:25.33\00:48:27.66
WHEN HIS FEET TOUCH, IT'S
GONNA FORM A VERY GREAT VALLEY
00:48:27.66\00:48:31.56
AND INTO THAT VALLEY THE
NEW JERUSALEM NESTLES DOWN.
00:48:31.56\00:48:35.56
SO WHEN THE ANGEL SAID CHRIST
IS COMING BACK THE SAME WAY YOU
00:48:35.56\00:48:38.23
SAW HIM GO, WELL, NEXT
TIME HE TOUCHES THE GROUND,
00:48:38.23\00:48:40.76
IS IT EVEN GONNA BE THE
VERY SAME PLACE HE LAST LEFT?
00:48:40.76\00:48:45.23
AND THEN OF COURSE GOD
WILL CREATE A NEW HEAVENS
00:48:45.23\00:48:46.96
AND A NEW EARTH.
00:48:46.96\00:48:47.76
YOU KNOW EVEN THE JEWS KNOW
THAT WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES,
00:48:47.76\00:48:50.86
THE MOUNTAIN OF OLIVES
IS THE MOST SACRED PLACE.
00:48:50.86\00:48:53.46
ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE
CEMETERIES IN THE WORLD IS NOT
00:48:53.46\00:48:56.23
FOREST LAWN DOWN THERE IN
LOS ANGELES, IT'S IN JERUSALEM.
00:48:56.23\00:49:00.26
IT'S--LOOK AT ALL THOSE GRAVES
AND PUT 'EM ABOVE GROUND IN
00:49:00.26\00:49:03.90
THESE JEWISH CRYPTS,
THAT'S ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:49:03.90\00:49:08.03
MATTER OF FACT ABOUT HALF THE
MOUNT IS COVERED ALMOST ELBOW
00:49:08.03\00:49:11.20
TO ELBOW WITH THESE GRAVES.
00:49:11.20\00:49:13.06
THEY'VE JUST ABOUT RUN OUT OF
ROOM TO PUT ANY OF THEIR GREAT
00:49:13.06\00:49:15.86
DIGNITARIES TO DIE.
00:49:15.86\00:49:17.90
AND BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED
TO BE THE MOST SACRED PLACE,
00:49:17.90\00:49:21.76
THEY BELIEVE THE MESSIAH
WILL COME TO THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:49:21.76\00:49:24.43
AND SO THEY EVEN KNOW
THAT, IT'S IN THEIR LITERATURE.
00:49:24.43\00:49:26.56
WELL, WE JUST READ IT HERE.
00:49:26.56\00:49:28.93
BY THE WAY, LITTLE BIT
OF HISTORY, HE SPOKE HERE IN
00:49:28.93\00:49:33.76
ZECHARIAH ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE
AND THE DAYS OF UZZIAH THE KING.
00:49:33.76\00:49:37.13
JOSEPHUS THE HISTORIAN TELLS
US THAT WHEN UZZIAH WENT INTO
00:49:37.13\00:49:42.00
THE TEMPLE TO BURN INCENSE
AND HE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
00:49:42.00\00:49:45.13
AND THE PRIEST
SAID, "YOU NEED TO LEAVE."
00:49:45.13\00:49:46.76
AND HE BEGAN TO GET ANGRY
WITH HIM AND HE THREATENED THEM.
00:49:46.76\00:49:50.00
THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE.
00:49:50.00\00:49:51.73
HE WAS STRUCK.
00:49:51.73\00:49:52.96
THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TEMPLE.
00:49:52.96\00:49:54.50
LIGHT CAME DOWN AND SHOWN ON
HIS FACE AND HE BECAME LEPROUS.
00:49:54.50\00:49:58.66
THAT SAME EARTHQUAKE THAT HIT
JERUSALEM THAT DAY--BY THE WAY,
00:49:58.66\00:50:02.63
THAT EARTHQUAKE IS WELL
SUBSTANTIATED SEVERAL TIMES IN
00:50:02.63\00:50:04.56
THE BIBLE AND IN HISTORY.
00:50:04.56\00:50:06.36
THAT EARTHQUAKE THAT STRUCK
THAT DAY, THERE WAS A SPLIT IN
00:50:06.36\00:50:09.16
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND A
BIG LANDSLIDE THAT WENT DOWN AND
00:50:09.16\00:50:11.93
COVERED UP THE ROAD AND
COVERED UP THE KING'S GARDEN.
00:50:11.93\00:50:15.56
AND SO THEY HAD THESE IMAGES IN
THEIR MIND WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT
00:50:15.56\00:50:19.46
AS YOU FLED BEFORE THE
EARTHQUAKE IN THE DAYS OF KING
00:50:19.46\00:50:22.06
UZZIAH, THEY WERE RUNNING BEFORE
THIS MASSIVE LANDSLIDE THAT
00:50:22.06\00:50:25.53
HAPPENED DURING THE
TIME EARTHQUAKE OF UZZIAH.
00:50:25.53\00:50:29.73
WELL, YOU KNOW THE LAST THING I
WANT TO SAY ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN,
00:50:29.73\00:50:32.33
I TOLD YOU TO BEGIN WITH THE
MOUNT OF OLIVES HAS THREE HILLS
00:50:32.33\00:50:35.40
ON IT, THREE PARTS OF SALVATION:
JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION,
00:50:35.40\00:50:40.63
GLORIFICATION.
00:50:40.63\00:50:42.10
GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE
SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:50:42.10\00:50:45.66
THERE ARE THREE PEAKS ON EACH OF
THOSE PEAKS IS A TOWER AND ALL
00:50:45.66\00:50:48.83
THROUGH HISTORY, BECAUSE THE
MOUNT OF OLIVES IS HIGHER THAN
00:50:48.83\00:50:52.03
MOUNT ZION, MOUNT MORIAH WHERE
JERUSALEM IS, IT WAS THE LOOKOUT
00:50:52.03\00:50:57.13
MOUNTAIN FOR ALL THE ARMIES.
00:50:57.13\00:51:00.43
THEY ALWAYS SPENT TIME UP ON THE
MOUNT OF OLIVES ON THOSE TOWERS
00:51:00.43\00:51:03.40
BECAUSE THAT GAVE THEM THE BEST
VANTAGE POINT FROM WHICH TO SEE
00:51:03.40\00:51:07.23
WHAT WAS COMING
AND TO BE PREPARED.
00:51:07.23\00:51:11.40
WELL, WE NEED TO TELL SOME
TIME ON THAT MOUNTAIN LOOKING
00:51:11.40\00:51:14.43
FOR OUR LORD, AMEN?
00:51:14.43\00:51:17.00
KIND OF A LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.
00:51:17.00\00:51:18.36
I THINK THAT'S WHY JESUS GIVE
US MATTHEW 24 ON THE MOUNT OF
00:51:18.36\00:51:21.00
OLIVES, ALL THE
SIGNS OF HIS RETURN.
00:51:21.00\00:51:23.33
NEED TO SPEND TIME
LOOKING FOR HIS COMING.
00:51:23.33\00:51:26.60
FRIENDS, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,
BUT I SEE THE WORLD CHANGING
00:51:26.60\00:51:29.26
VERY FAST.
00:51:29.26\00:51:31.03
AND THE CHANGES WE'RE SEEING
NOW ARE NOT JUST CHANGES IN A
00:51:31.03\00:51:33.56
STATE OR CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY,
THINGS ARE HAPPENING ON A GLOBAL
00:51:33.56\00:51:36.43
SCALE.
00:51:36.43\00:51:37.86
EVERYTHING IS ALL INTERTWINED
WITH THE COMPUTERS AND THE
00:51:37.86\00:51:41.03
ECONOMY.
00:51:41.03\00:51:42.46
THE FINAL EVENTS ARE TRANSPIRING
UNDER OUR NOSE, AND I HOPE THAT
00:51:42.46\00:51:45.83
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE THE ONES
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE
00:51:45.83\00:51:49.13
SAYS THAT THAT DAY CAME UPON US
UNAWARE, THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW
00:51:49.13\00:51:54.43
THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION.
00:51:54.43\00:51:56.33
WE MIGHT NEED TO GET OUT OF
THE VALLEY AND CLIMB UP ON THE
00:51:56.33\00:51:58.50
MOUNTAIN THERE AND SEE WHAT THE
LORD IS TRYING TO SHOW US, AMEN?
00:51:58.50\00:52:02.96
WE NEED TO SPEND TIME IN THE
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE AND ASK FOR
00:52:02.96\00:52:05.90
THE FILLING OF GOD'S SPIRIT AND
THEN TAKE UP OUR OLIVE TREE AND
00:52:05.90\00:52:09.93
BE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND
FOLLOW HIM WHEREVER HE LEADS.
00:52:09.93\00:52:14.70
IS THAT YOUR DESIRE, FRIENDS?
00:52:14.70\00:52:17.13
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU IF YOU'D
DO ME A FAVOR, WOULD YOU BOW
00:52:17.13\00:52:20.56
YOUR HEADS FOR A MOMENT?
00:52:20.56\00:52:22.70
JUST FORGET EVERYBODY
ELSE THAT MIGHT BE AROUND YOU.
00:52:22.70\00:52:27.73
FORGET LOOKING AT YOUR CLOCK
AND WONDERING WHAT'S HAPPENING
00:52:27.73\00:52:30.40
TO THE FOOD IN THE OVEN AT
HOME AND JUST RECOGNIZE WE'RE
00:52:30.40\00:52:35.06
IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.
00:52:35.06\00:52:37.23
WE LOOKED TODAY AT SOME VERY
IMPORTANT EVENTS THAT HAPPENED
00:52:37.23\00:52:41.56
ON A HUMBLE MOUNTAIN, BUT THAT
MOUNTAIN REPRESENTS A PLACE OF
00:52:41.56\00:52:45.06
THE SPIRIT, A DWELLING PLACE OF
GOD, AN ABIDING PLACE OF JESUS.
00:52:45.06\00:52:49.56
AND HE'S INVITING US TO SHARE
WITH HIM IN THOSE EXPERIENCES,
00:52:49.56\00:52:54.20
TO FOLLOW HIM THERE AND
LEARN WHAT HE WANTS US TO LEARN.
00:52:54.20\00:52:59.60
IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR EACH ONE
OF US TO BE FILLED WITH THE OIL
00:52:59.60\00:53:04.23
OF HIS SPIRIT, THAT
WE LET OUR LIGHTS SHINE.
00:53:04.23\00:53:07.93
AND MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING IN
YOUR LIFE THAT'S OBSCURING THAT
00:53:07.93\00:53:11.60
LIGHT OR SNUFFING IT OUT OR
MAYBE YOUR LIGHT'S BEEN UNDER
00:53:11.60\00:53:14.13
A BUSH AND YOU
REALLY WANT IT TO SHINE.
00:53:14.13\00:53:16.86
YOU'RE WILLING TO
FOLLOW WHEREVER JESUS LEADS.
00:53:16.86\00:53:19.83
IF THE HOLY SPIRIT'S SPEAKING
TO YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU'D JUST
00:53:19.83\00:53:22.83
LIKE TO SAY, LORD, ESPECIALLY
DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR WHEN
00:53:22.83\00:53:27.63
WE'RE LIVING IN THE MOMENTS
OF THE PASSOVER, IF WE GO BACK
00:53:27.63\00:53:32.26
2,000 YEARS RIGHT
NOW, JESUS IS 14 YEARS OLD.
00:53:32.26\00:53:36.40
HE'S ALREADY BEEN TO THE TEMPLE
AND WE'RE LIVING IN THE DAYS
00:53:36.40\00:53:39.66
JUST BEFORE HIS RETURN.
00:53:39.66\00:53:41.96
YOU WANT TO BE READY.
00:53:41.96\00:53:43.83
YOU WANT TO BE
TOTALLY CONSECRATED.
00:53:43.83\00:53:46.20
YOU'RE WILLING TO FOLLOW
HIM AND STAY AWAKE AND PRAY.
00:53:46.20\00:53:49.06
IF YOU'D SAY, "LORD, HELP ME
TO BE 100% CHRISTIAN, NOT A 50%
00:53:49.06\00:53:54.46
OR 70% BUT 100% CHRISTIAN."
00:53:54.46\00:53:57.66
IS THAT YOUR DESIRE, FRIENDS?
00:53:57.66\00:53:59.26
WOULD YOU LIFT YOUR HANDS BEFORE
HIM AND SAY, "LORD, HELP ME.
00:53:59.26\00:54:01.60
I WANT TO SHARE THOSE
EXPERIENCES WITH YOU AND I WANT
00:54:01.60\00:54:04.63
TO BE READY FOR YOUR
COMING SPENDING TIME ON LOOKOUT
00:54:04.63\00:54:06.96
MOUNTAIN THERE WAITING FOR HIM
TO COME IN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
00:54:06.96\00:54:12.36
THE FATHER, GOD THE
SON AND GOD THE SPIRIT."
00:54:12.36\00:54:14.60
THOSE ARE THOSE THREE
PEAKS ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:54:14.60\00:54:17.33
ALL RIGHT, IF THAT'S YOUR
DESIRE, THEN LET'S TAKE OUR
00:54:17.33\00:54:20.50
HYMNALS.
00:54:20.50\00:54:21.20
LET'S TURN TO 604, OUR CLOSING
HYMN AND LET'S STAND TOGETHER
00:54:21.20\00:54:24.86
AS WE SING.
00:54:24.86\00:54:27.63
[MUSIC]
00:54:29.13\00:54:33.93
? WE KNOW NOT THE HOUR OF
? ? THE MASTER'S APPEARING, ?
00:54:44.33\00:54:51.73
? YET SIGNS ALL FORETELL ? ?
THAT THE MOMENT IS NEARING. ?
00:54:51.73\00:54:59.13

? IN THE CLOUDS OF ? ?
HIS FATHER'S BRIGHT GLORY ?
00:55:28.86\00:55:35.66
? BUT WE KNOW NOT THE HOUR. ?
00:55:35.66\00:55:42.56
>> THIS IS A GREAT SONG 'CAUSE
IT REMINDS US OF THE EMINENCE OF
00:55:43.63\00:55:47.50
JESUS COMING.
00:55:47.50\00:55:48.46
WE MAY NOT KNOW THE DAY
AND THE HOUR, BUT WE CAN KNOW
00:55:48.46\00:55:50.86
WHEN IT'S NEAR.
00:55:50.86\00:55:52.23
BUT THIS SONG IS ONLY REALLY
GREAT IF WE SING IT TRIUMPHANTLY
00:55:52.23\00:55:56.33
AS IT IS A PROCLAMATION
THAT JESUS IS COMING.
00:55:56.33\00:56:00.43
AND SO I'D LIKE
TO HEAR EVERYBODY.
00:56:00.43\00:56:02.10
WE'RE GONNA SING THE LAST VERSE.
00:56:02.10\00:56:03.23
I'VE GONE A LITTLE OVER TODAY,
BUT I WANT TO HEAR YOU'RE REALLY
00:56:03.23\00:56:05.26
COMPENSATING BY SINGING
WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS, AMEN?
00:56:05.26\00:56:07.86
VERSE 3.
00:56:07.86\00:56:09.93

00:57:06.20\00:57:13.46
>> AMEN.
00:57:15.96\00:57:17.50
HOW MANY OF YOU
BELIEVE THAT HE'S COMING SOON?
00:57:17.50\00:57:20.80
THAT MEANS YOU'RE AN ADVENTIST.
00:57:20.80\00:57:22.90
LET'S PRAY.
00:57:22.90\00:57:25.86
LOVING LORD, WE INVITE YOUR
BLESSING TO BE ON EVERY LIFE
00:57:25.86\00:57:30.86
REPRESENTED HERE, EVEN THOSE
WHO MAY BE LISTENING NOW THROUGH
00:57:30.86\00:57:34.66
A CD OR A TAPE.
00:57:34.66\00:57:37.00
AND I PRAY THAT WE CAN TRACK
JESUS THROUGH THE BIBLE AND JOIN
00:57:37.00\00:57:42.40
HIM ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, THAT
WE MIGHT HAVE A SPIRIT-FILLED
00:57:42.40\00:57:46.46
EXPERIENCE.
00:57:46.46\00:57:48.30
LORD, I PRAY THAT
WE CAN BE CHRISTIANS,
00:57:48.30\00:57:51.06
NOT JUST IN OUR PROFESSION.
00:57:51.06\00:57:53.40
WE DON'T WANT TO BE SIMPLY
NOMINAL CHRISTIANS IN NAME, BUT
00:57:53.40\00:57:56.66
WHEN YOU LOOK FROM HEAVEN ON OUR
HEARTS, HELP US TO BE GENUINE
00:57:56.66\00:57:59.93
AND WE PRAY FOR THE
OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT.
00:57:59.93\00:58:02.90
AS WE GO FROM THIS
PLACE, BE WITH US AND HELP US
00:58:02.90\00:58:05.80
TO REPRESENT YOU.
00:58:05.80\00:58:06.90
WE PRAY IN CHRIST'S NAME, AMEN.
00:58:06.90\00:58:09.56
