>> IT'S BEEN 2,000 YEARS SINCE
THE GLORIOUS LIGHT OF THE CROSS
00:00:09.93\00:00:12.46
ILLUMINATED A WORLD VEILED
IN DARKNESS AND CONFUSION ABOUT
00:00:12.46\00:00:15.73
THE CHARACTER OF GOD.
00:00:15.73\00:00:17.40
AND STILL TODAY, THE GREATEST
NEED OF MANKIND IS A REVELATION
00:00:17.40\00:00:20.63
OF GOD'S LOVE AS
REVEALED IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST.
00:00:20.63\00:00:23.80
"AMAZING FACTS" PRESENTS
"THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL"
00:00:23.80\00:00:26.76
WITH PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR.
00:00:26.76\00:00:29.00
COMING TO YOU EACH WEEK
FROM SACRAMENTO CENTRAL CHURCH
00:00:29.00\00:00:31.46
IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA.
00:00:31.46\00:00:33.20
DISCOVER HIDDEN
TREASURES IN GOD'S WORD TODAY.
00:00:33.20\00:00:38.56
>> I WANT TO WELCOME EACH OF
YOU AND ESPECIALLY WOULD LIKE TO
00:00:39.36\00:00:42.06
EXTEND A WELCOME TO
THOSE WHO MAY BE VISITING.
00:00:42.06\00:00:46.90
WE BEGAN A SERIES A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
00:00:46.90\00:00:49.63
ONE OF MY FRUSTRATIONS
WHEN I HAVE AN INTEREST IN DOING
00:00:49.63\00:00:52.70
A SERIES HERE AT CENTRAL, I LOOK
AT THE CALENDAR AND SOMETIMES I
00:00:52.70\00:00:56.20
HAVE TO BREAK IT UP WITH TRAVEL,
AND I HOPE THAT WE DON'T LOSE
00:00:56.20\00:00:59.20
OUR MOMENTUM OR THE CONTINUITY.
00:00:59.20\00:01:01.60
BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I
BEGAN TALKING ABOUT A THEME THAT
00:01:01.60\00:01:05.96
IS VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART.
00:01:05.96\00:01:07.76
IF I SHOULD EVER RETIRE AND
WRITE A BOOK, THIS WOULD BE THE
00:01:07.76\00:01:11.06
SUBJECT I'D WANT TO WRITE ABOUT.
00:01:11.06\00:01:13.36
AND THAT THEME WOULD BE
"JESUS IN ALL OF THE BIBLE."
00:01:13.36\00:01:17.63
HOW YOU CAN FIND JESUS
THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURES AND HE
00:01:17.63\00:01:22.06
IS PORTRAYED IN THE TYPES
OF THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS OF
00:01:22.06\00:01:26.26
THE BIBLE.
00:01:26.26\00:01:27.70
AND THAT IS REALLY
OUR THEME FOR THE MESSAGE.
00:01:27.70\00:01:32.90
NOW, WE TALKED A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AGO ABOUT HOW A NUMBER OF BIBLE
00:01:32.90\00:01:37.26
HEROES LIKE ABRAHAM, EVEN ADAM
AND ENOCH AND NOAH, ARE TYPES
00:01:37.26\00:01:43.06
IN DIFFERENT WAYS OF CHRIST.
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.70
THEN, WE SPENT QUITE A BIT
OF TIME TALKING ABOUT JOSEPH.
00:01:45.70\00:01:49.93
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WENT
TO THE WEBSITE, BUT WE SENT TO
00:01:49.93\00:01:52.43
THE CHURCH
WEBSITE SOME OF THE NOTES.
00:01:52.43\00:01:54.10
A NUMBER OF YOU ASKED FOR THAT
LIST OF THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN
00:01:54.10\00:01:57.46
JOSEPH AND JESUS.
00:01:57.46\00:01:59.66
NOW WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT
THESE SIMILARITIES, SOME PEOPLE
00:01:59.66\00:02:04.96
HAVE OFTEN WONDERED IF YOU'RE
JUST TORTURING THE EVIDENCE SO
00:02:04.96\00:02:08.13
IT LOOKS LIKE--I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
IF YOU TRY HARD ENOUGH, YOU CAN
00:02:08.13\00:02:11.60
FIND
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ANYBODY.
00:02:11.60\00:02:14.36
AND IT'S SORT OF LIKE WHEN
WHAT THEY CALL A SELF-FULFILLING
00:02:14.36\00:02:19.30
PROPHECY.
00:02:19.30\00:02:20.76
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THAT BEFORE?
00:02:20.76\00:02:22.73
YOU GO TO THE CHINESE RESTAURANT
AND YOU GET A FORTUNE COOKIE
00:02:22.73\00:02:27.03
AND THAT FORTUNE COOKIE
SAYS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:02:27.03\00:02:29.20
A DIFFICULT DAY TOMORROW.
00:02:29.20\00:02:31.53
WELL, YOU GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD
AND YOU SAY, "WELL, TOMORROW'S
00:02:31.53\00:02:34.33
GOING TO BE A TOUGH DAY."
00:02:34.33\00:02:35.46
AND YOU WAKE UP AND YOU'RE
IN A BAD MOOD ALREADY 'CAUSE
00:02:35.46\00:02:37.23
THE FORTUNE COOKIE.
00:02:37.23\00:02:39.03
AND SURE ENOUGH, IT TURNS
OUT TO BE A VERY DIFFICULT DAY.
00:02:39.03\00:02:41.96
WELL, IT WOULD'VE BEEN FINE
IF YOU HAD NEVER BELIEVED THAT
00:02:41.96\00:02:44.26
COOKIE, RIGHT?
00:02:44.26\00:02:46.66
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:02:46.66\00:02:48.16
AND SOME PEOPLE WONDER, "WELL,
YOU KNOW, MAYBE JESUS WAS ABLE
00:02:48.16\00:02:51.53
TO ORCHESTRATE HIS LIFE SO
IT MATCHED UP WITH SOME OF THESE
00:02:51.53\00:02:55.60
OTHER CHARACTERS BECAUSE
HE WANTED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS
00:02:55.60\00:02:58.53
THE MESSIAH."
00:02:58.53\00:02:59.83
THAT'S NOT VERY LIKELY.
00:02:59.83\00:03:01.66
AND IT'S ALSO MORE
THAN JUST COINCIDENCE.
00:03:01.66\00:03:04.63
SOMETIMES THINGS, LET'S JUST
FACE IT, COINCIDENTAL THINGS
00:03:04.63\00:03:07.46
HAPPEN THAT ARE REMARKABLE
AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE AMAZING.
00:03:07.46\00:03:10.53
I REMEMBER ONE TIME, THIS IS
TRUTH, I BOUGHT A NEW ATV, FOUND
00:03:10.53\00:03:16.10
A USED ONE ONLINE, FOUR-WHEELER,
AND I GOT A FRIEND OF MINE TO
00:03:16.10\00:03:20.76
HELP ME GO PICK IT UP,
RICH KOLLINBERG WHO WAS
00:03:20.76\00:03:24.10
BAPTIZED HERE.
00:03:24.10\00:03:26.06
AND I SAID, "LOOK,
LET ME BUY YOU LUNCH."
00:03:26.06\00:03:29.26
I WAS SO EXCITED
ABOUT THIS NEW ATV.
00:03:29.26\00:03:31.20
SO I SAID--AND WE WENT TO A
CHINESE RESTAURANT, AND SO I
00:03:31.20\00:03:33.80
BOUGHT HIM LUNCH FOR HELPING ME
PICK UP AND DROP OFF THE QUAD.
00:03:33.80\00:03:38.33
AND YOU KNOW WHAT
THE FORTUNE COOKIE SAID?
00:03:38.33\00:03:41.53
"YOU'RE GOING TO SOON FIND
SOMETHING WITH FOUR WHEELS THAT
00:03:41.53\00:03:45.63
WILL GIVE YOU GREAT JOY."
00:03:45.63\00:03:49.16
AND I WAS SO AMAZED BY THAT.
00:03:49.16\00:03:51.16
TO THIS VERY DAY, IT IS PINNED
IN THE CAULK BOARD RIGHT ABOVE
00:03:51.16\00:03:54.66
MY--SO, THAT JUST CONFIRMED THAT
THE LORD WANTED ME TO GET THAT
00:03:54.66\00:03:58.86
QUAD AND PROBABLY
WANTS ME TO GET MANY MORE.
00:03:58.86\00:04:07.93
NO, THAT'S PROBABLY COINCIDENCE,
BUT YOU KNOW IT'S ONE OF THOSE
00:04:07.93\00:04:09.90
IRONIC THINGS
THAT YOU FIND FUNNY.
00:04:09.90\00:04:12.16
THERE'S SOME THINGS IN
HISTORY THAT ARE PRETTY HARD TO
00:04:12.16\00:04:14.50
DESCRIBE.
00:04:14.50\00:04:15.56
I THINK IT'S PROBABLY BEEN
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I SHARED
00:04:15.56\00:04:17.93
WITH YOU AN AMAZING FACT
ABOUT THE WRECK OF THE TITAN,
00:04:17.93\00:04:21.66
THE WRECK OF THE TITAN.
00:04:21.66\00:04:23.33
NOW, ALL OF US HAVE
HEARD ABOUT THE TITANIC BEFORE.
00:04:23.33\00:04:26.13
ON APRIL 14TH, OF COURSE, 1912,
THIS HUGE SHIP, THE TITANIC,
00:04:26.13\00:04:31.86
WAS STEAMING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
TOWARDS NEW YORK, CLASSED AS
00:04:31.86\00:04:36.66
"THE UNSINKABLE
SHIP" ON ITS MAIDEN VOYAGE.
00:04:36.66\00:04:39.86
HER CAPTAIN WAS ENCOURAGED TO
BREAK A RECORD FOR SPEED WHILE
00:04:39.86\00:04:42.36
MAKING THE CROSSING.
00:04:42.36\00:04:43.96
AND MOST PEOPLE KNOW
AFTER STRIKING AN ICEBERG,
00:04:43.96\00:04:47.10
"THE UNSINKABLE SHIP"
WENT DOWN IN A MATTER OF HOURS.
00:04:47.10\00:04:50.36
OUT OF THE 2,200
PASSENGERS, ONLY 711 WERE SAVED.
00:04:50.36\00:04:55.30
SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE
BEEN MANY BOOKS AND MOVIES ABOUT
00:04:55.30\00:04:57.73
THE TITANIC.
00:04:57.73\00:04:58.76
THERE WAS ONE FICTIONAL STORY
THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A MERCHANT
00:04:58.76\00:05:02.36
SEAMAN BY THE NAME
OF MORGAN ROBERTSON.
00:05:02.36\00:05:05.83
ROBERTSON'S BOOK WAS ABOUT AN
UNSINKABLE PASSENGER LINER THAT
00:05:05.83\00:05:09.63
SANK WHILE CARRYING
ELITE PEOPLE OF THE TIME.
00:05:09.63\00:05:12.60
THE SHIP IN ROBERTSON'S
STORY WAS CALLED THE "TITAN."
00:05:12.60\00:05:15.60
AND THE BOOK WAS TITLED,
"THE WRECK OF THE TITAN."
00:05:15.60\00:05:19.86
EVEN THOUGH THE BOOK IS A
FICTITIOUS BOOK, THE EVENTS
00:05:19.86\00:05:22.70
IN THE STORY HAVE AN AMAZING
PARALLEL TO THE EVENTS OF
00:05:22.70\00:05:25.73
THE TITANIC.
00:05:25.73\00:05:27.23
HERE ARE A FEW COMPARISONS.
00:05:27.23\00:05:28.86
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.20
THE TITAN WAS 800 FEET LONG.
00:05:30.20\00:05:32.86
THE TITANIC--AND TITAN IS
FROM ROBERTSON'S BOOK CALLED
00:05:32.86\00:05:36.36
"THE SINKING OF THE TITAN."
00:05:36.36\00:05:37.96
THE TITANIC WAS 882 FEET LONG.
00:05:37.96\00:05:40.73
THE TITAN WAS 90 FEET WIDE,
WHICH WAS ENORMOUS FOR THE DAY.
00:05:40.73\00:05:44.13
THE TITANIC, 92 FEET.
00:05:44.13\00:05:46.86
TOP SPEED FOR
THE TITAN, 25 KNOTS.
00:05:46.86\00:05:49.60
TOP SPEED FOR THE
TITANIC, 23 KNOTS.
00:05:49.60\00:05:52.60
WATER TIGHT
COMPARTMENTS ON THE TITAN, 19.
00:05:52.60\00:05:56.06
THE TITANIC, OF COURSE, HAD 16.
00:05:56.06\00:05:58.46
BOTH SHIPS HAD THREE PROPELLERS.
00:05:58.46\00:06:00.70
CAPACITY ON THE TITAN, 3,000.
00:06:00.70\00:06:03.50
TITANIC, 3,250.
00:06:03.50\00:06:05.83
NUMBER OF PEOPLE
ABOARD, 2,000 ON THE TITAN,
00:06:05.83\00:06:09.26
2,228 ON THE TITANIC.
00:06:09.26\00:06:12.13
LIFEBOATS ON BOTH SHIPS
WERE INSUFFICIENT ONLY ENOUGH--
00:06:12.13\00:06:16.93
24 LIFEBOATS ON THE
TITAN, 20 ON THE TITANIC.
00:06:16.93\00:06:21.20
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
00:06:21.20\00:06:24.20
SAILING FROM APRIL TO NEW YORK,
THE TITAN, IN APRIL, APRIL 10TH
00:06:24.20\00:06:30.50
WAS SAILING FROM
ENGLAND TO NEW YORK.
00:06:30.50\00:06:34.56
BOTH SHIPS WERE
BUILT TO BE UNSINKABLE.
00:06:34.56\00:06:37.63
BOTH SHIPS WERE ENCOURAGED
TO BREAK SPEED RECORDS.
00:06:37.63\00:06:40.16
BOTH SHIPS SANK AFTER STRIKING A
PYRAMID-SHAPED ICEBERG THAT HAD
00:06:40.16\00:06:44.10
JUST OVERTURNED.
00:06:44.10\00:06:45.70
BOTH SHIPS WERE ON
THEIR MAIDEN VOYAGE.
00:06:45.70\00:06:48.43
MOST WELL-TO-DO FAMOUS
PEOPLE WERE ON THE TITAN AND
00:06:48.43\00:06:52.03
THE TITANIC.
00:06:52.03\00:06:53.23
ONLY 1/3 OF THE PASSENGERS
ON EACH SHIP SURVIVED.
00:06:53.23\00:06:56.43
BOTH SHIPS HAD
INADEQUATE NUMBER OF LIFEBOATS.
00:06:56.43\00:06:59.46
ROBERTSON'S BOOK, "THE WRECK OF
THE TITAN," WAS NEVER PUBLISHED.
00:06:59.46\00:07:03.56
EACH TIME HE GAVE IT TO
A PUBLISHER, THEY TOLD HIM
00:07:03.56\00:07:05.90
THE EVENTS THAT HE WROTE ABOUT
COULD NEVER POSSIBLY HAPPEN.
00:07:05.90\00:07:09.40
IT WAS SIMPLY TOO UNBELIEVABLE."
00:07:09.40\00:07:11.33
THE EVENTS THAT HE WROTE ABOUT,
BY THE WAY, WERE WRITTEN IN
00:07:11.33\00:07:15.70
1893--NO, 1898, 13 YEARS
BEFORE THE TITANIC WAS BUILT.
00:07:15.70\00:07:22.63
ROBERTSON WROTE THIS BOOK.
00:07:22.63\00:07:25.66
THAT WAS THEN, BASICALLY,
PARALLEL ALMOST PERFECTLY, EVEN
00:07:25.66\00:07:30.46
THE NAME, "TITAN," "TITANIC."
00:07:30.46\00:07:37.46
MORGAN ROBERTSON'S BOOK, WAS IT
A COINCIDENCE OR A PROPHECY OF
00:07:37.46\00:07:40.86
WHAT WAS COMING?
00:07:40.86\00:07:44.16
SOMETIMES, I THINK GOD TRIES TO
TELL US THINGS IN ADVANCE JUST
00:07:44.16\00:07:48.26
TO LET US KNOW THAT
HE SEES ALL OF HISTORY.
00:07:48.26\00:07:52.23
NOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT CHRIST AND ALL THE BIBLE
00:07:52.23\00:07:54.90
AND THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERS IN
THE BIBLE THAT HELP US RECOGNIZE
00:07:54.90\00:07:58.03
JESUS IS WHO HE SAID.
00:07:58.03\00:08:00.80
THE OLD TESTAMENT
IS A MIRROR OF CHRIST.
00:08:00.80\00:08:05.86
THIS IS WHAT THE
NEW TESTAMENT TELLS US.
00:08:05.86\00:08:08.50
I'M GOING TO GIVE
YOU A LOT OF VERSES.
00:08:08.50\00:08:10.03
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'LL
PROBABLY POST THESE NOTES ALSO.
00:08:10.03\00:08:13.66
BUT I HOPE YOU WRITE SOME OF
THESE DOWN AND LOOK THEM UP THIS
00:08:13.66\00:08:15.40
SABBATH AFTERNOON.
00:08:15.40\00:08:17.90
JESUS SAID IN JOHN 5:39, "YOU
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES, FOR IN
00:08:17.90\00:08:22.90
THEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE; THESE ARE THEY THAT
00:08:22.90\00:08:27.13
TESTIFY OF ME."
00:08:27.13\00:08:29.36
HOW MANY BIBLES WERE THERE
WHEN JESUS MADE THIS STATEMENT?
00:08:29.36\00:08:33.06
JUST THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:08:33.06\00:08:35.13
SO WHEN CHRIST SAID, "SEARCH
THE SCRIPTURES; THESE ARE THEY
00:08:35.13\00:08:38.70
THAT TESTIFY OF ME," WHAT BOOK
PRINCIPALLY IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:08:38.70\00:08:42.73
THIS IS ALL OLD TESTAMENT
AND THEN SOME THAT I'M TALKING
00:08:42.73\00:08:44.93
ABOUT HERE.
00:08:44.93\00:08:46.20
MOST OF THE BIBLE BEFORE CHRIST
WAS EVEN BORN IS TELLING US
00:08:46.20\00:08:49.53
ABOUT JESUS.
00:08:49.53\00:08:51.63
AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHY
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.46
LUKE 24:27, CHRIST SAID, AND
I THINK I READ THIS 2 WEEKS AGO
00:08:53.46\00:08:58.93
BUT I WANT TO REPEAT IT
IN CASE SOME WERE NOT HERE.
00:08:58.93\00:09:01.46
AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD, HE
TOLD THE DISCIPLES, "'O FOOLISH
00:09:01.46\00:09:04.96
ONES, AND SLOW OF HEART TO
BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS
00:09:04.96\00:09:08.30
HAVE SPOKEN!
00:09:08.30\00:09:10.36
OUGHT NOT THE CHRIST TO
HAVE SUFFERED THESE THINGS
00:09:10.36\00:09:12.13
AND ENTERED INTO HIS GLORY?'
AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL
00:09:12.13\00:09:15.96
THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED UNTO
THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES,"
00:09:15.96\00:09:19.96
HOW MUCH?
00:09:19.96\00:09:21.00
"ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE
THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF."
00:09:21.00\00:09:24.36
WHAT DO ALL THE
SCRIPTURES TALK ABOUT?
00:09:24.36\00:09:27.13
THEY ALL TALK ABOUT CHRIST.
00:09:27.13\00:09:29.70
THEN IF YOU GO JUST TO VERSE 44,
SAME CHAPTER, JESUS SAID, "THESE
00:09:29.70\00:09:34.26
ARE THE WORDS THAT I SPOKE TO
YOU WHILE I WAS STILL WITH YOU,
00:09:34.26\00:09:38.63
THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE
FULFILLED WHICH WERE WRITTEN
00:09:38.63\00:09:42.06
IN THE LAW OF MOSES AND THE
PROPHETS--" AND THEN HE ADDS:
00:09:42.06\00:09:45.33
"AND THE PSALMS CONCERNING ME."
00:09:45.33\00:09:47.70
SO WHENEVER I READ
THE OLD TESTAMENT, ALL
00:09:47.70\00:09:50.50
THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE
LAW, THE PROPHETS, THE PSALMS,
00:09:50.50\00:09:53.40
I'M LOOKING FOR JESUS.
00:09:53.40\00:09:55.80
HE SAID HE'S IN THERE.
00:09:55.80\00:09:57.13
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S
A LOT OF VERSES I CAN GIVE YOU.
00:09:57.13\00:10:00.26
ACTS 28:23, PAUL IS SPEAKING TO
THE JEWS IN ROME, "SO WHEN THEY
00:10:00.26\00:10:09.23
HAD APPOINTED HIM A CERTAIN DAY,
THEY CAME TO HIM AT HIS LODGING,
00:10:09.23\00:10:14.13
TO WHOM HE EXPLAINED
AND SOLEMNLY TESTIFIED OF
00:10:14.13\00:10:17.33
THE KINGDOM OF GOD," LISTEN,
"PERSUADING THEM CONCERNING
00:10:17.33\00:10:21.40
JESUS FROM BOTH THE LAW OF MOSES
AND THE PROPHETS, FROM MORNING
00:10:21.40\00:10:26.43
TILL EVENING."
00:10:26.43\00:10:27.73
HE WAS ABLE TO PERSUADE THE JEWS
THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH FROM
00:10:27.73\00:10:31.83
THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS
FROM MORNING TO EVENING.
00:10:31.83\00:10:35.36
THAT'S A LOT OF MATERIAL.
00:10:35.36\00:10:36.53
I KNOW I'M GOING TO RUN OUT
OF TIME JUST ON TODAY'S SUBJECT.
00:10:36.53\00:10:39.43
NOW, THE REASON I THINK THIS IS
SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO LOOK AT
00:10:39.43\00:10:43.53
THE TYPES AND THE EXAMPLES AND
THE SHADOWS OF CHRIST WE SEE IN
00:10:43.53\00:10:47.30
THE LIVES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
CHARACTERS IS BECAUSE YOU ARE
00:10:47.30\00:10:51.96
SAVED BY KNOWING JESUS.
00:10:51.96\00:10:54.36
THE BETTER YOU KNOW HIM,
THE BETTER YOU WILL LOVE HIM.
00:10:54.36\00:10:57.96
AND IF YOU CAN'T KNOW HIM
FOR YOURSELF BY THE EXPOSURE YOU
00:10:57.96\00:11:02.96
HAVE HAD, GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER
BY THE EXPOSURE OTHERS HAVE HAD.
00:11:02.96\00:11:08.80
LET ME ILLUSTRATE.
00:11:08.80\00:11:10.20
IT'S A FAULTY ILLUSTRATION
BUT IT'LL STILL HELP, I THINK.
00:11:10.20\00:11:13.60
I WISH I HAD A BETTER
RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER.
00:11:13.60\00:11:17.16
I CALCULATE I'M NOT THE
ONLY ONE WHO'S SAID THAT BEFORE.
00:11:17.16\00:11:21.63
DAD WAS ALWAYS SO WORK-ORIENTED.
00:11:21.63\00:11:23.80
IT NEVER SEEMED I SAW HIM.
00:11:23.80\00:11:30.23
I SAW DAD COME HOME AT THE
END OF THE DAY TIRED, SOMETIMES
00:11:30.23\00:11:33.40
FRUSTRATED, AND THEN
HE'D DRINK HIMSELF TO SLEEP.
00:11:33.40\00:11:37.66
AND I'M SURE THERE WERE OTHER
THINGS, BUT MOST OF MY EXPOSURE
00:11:37.66\00:11:40.40
TO DAD I DIDN'T EVER REALLY
GET TO KNOW ANYTHING BUT THAT
00:11:40.40\00:11:45.20
PERSPECTIVE, VERY LITTLE OTHER.
00:11:45.20\00:11:50.96
AFTER HE DIED, I'VE MET
DIFFERENT PEOPLE, SOMETIMES I
00:11:50.96\00:11:57.80
MET PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH HIM,
THEY COME UP TO ME AND THEY SAY,
00:11:57.80\00:12:00.40
"HEY, BROTHER DOUG, YOU KNOW
I USED TO WORK WITH YOUR DAD?
00:12:00.40\00:12:02.36
I USED TO FLY WITH YOUR DAD."
00:12:02.36\00:12:04.46
AND THEY START TELLING ME THINGS
ABOUT MY DAD, AND I'M REALLY ON
00:12:04.46\00:12:07.36
THE EDGE OF MY SEAT BECAUSE
THEY'RE TELLING ME STUFF I HAD
00:12:07.36\00:12:09.10
NO IDEA, "OH, HE
WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY."
00:12:09.10\00:12:12.46
AND I'M ALWAYS
HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.
00:12:12.46\00:12:16.50
OR I'LL TALK TO SOMEBODY
WHO--PERIODICALLY, I ACTUALLY
00:12:16.50\00:12:19.03
MEET MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH
WHO WORKED WITH HIM YEARS AGO.
00:12:19.03\00:12:22.83
OR THEN, I'LL MEET SOMEONE
WHO'LL SAY, "OH, YOU KNOW,
00:12:22.83\00:12:24.76
HE AND I WERE RACING BUDDIES."
00:12:24.76\00:12:26.13
MY DAD HAD A HOBBY OF RACING
INDY CARS, ACTUALLY DAYTONA
00:12:26.13\00:12:30.63
CARS.
00:12:30.63\00:12:31.40
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
00:12:31.40\00:12:32.50
AND SO, "OH, HE RACED--HE WAS
SO AGGRESSIVE, HE WAS FEARLESS,"
00:12:32.50\00:12:35.56
BLAH BLAH BLAH,
AND THEY TELL ME.
00:12:35.56\00:12:36.83
I SAID, "REALLY?
00:12:36.83\00:12:37.56
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT."
00:12:37.56\00:12:39.20
AND SINCE HE DIED, I DON'T
KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN NOW, 7-8
00:12:39.20\00:12:43.76
YEARS, I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM
BETTER THROUGH PEOPLE WHO KNEW
00:12:43.76\00:12:50.23
HIM EVEN THOUGH HE'S GONE.
00:12:50.23\00:12:53.76
AND SO, WHILE YOU AND I ARE
READING ABOUT JESUS REFLECTED IN
00:12:53.76\00:12:59.00
THE LIFE OF MOSES AND JOSEPH
AND DAVID AND THESE DIFFERENT
00:12:59.00\00:13:04.60
CHARACTERS, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY
NOT KNOW HIM LIKE YOU NEED TO
00:13:04.60\00:13:07.80
KNOW HIM, YOU'RE GOING TO GET
TO KNOW HIM BETTER THROUGH THEIR
00:13:07.80\00:13:11.60
LIVES BECAUSE THEIR LIVES WERE
REFLECTIONS OF HIS LIFE THAT
00:13:11.60\00:13:15.86
WAS TO COME.
00:13:15.86\00:13:18.36
SO, THAT'S PART OF THE REASON
I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT AND
00:13:18.36\00:13:21.43
WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING.
00:13:21.43\00:13:22.46
THE BIBLE HISTORY, AND THIS IS
WHERE YOU GET THE WORD "HISTORY"
00:13:22.46\00:13:27.16
IS "HIS STORY."
00:13:27.16\00:13:30.06
WHEN YOU READ THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IT IS "HIS STORY."
00:13:30.06\00:13:33.66
IT'S TELLING US ABOUT JESUS.
00:13:33.66\00:13:35.20
NOW, MOST OF, IF NOT ALL OF,
TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS GOING TO
00:13:35.20\00:13:39.80
BE LOOKING AT THE PARALLELS
BETWEEN MOSES AND JESUS,
00:13:39.80\00:13:45.33
A PROPHET LIKE MOSES.
00:13:45.33\00:13:48.30
LISTEN TO THIS AMAZING PROPHECY
MOSES GIVES US AND YOU MIGHT
00:13:48.30\00:13:51.66
MARK IT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT IT FOR THE NEXT
00:13:51.66\00:13:54.26
FEW MOMENTS.
00:13:54.26\00:13:56.23
DEUTERONOMY 18:15, LAST BOOK OF
MOSES, SHORTLY BEFORE HE DIED,
00:13:56.23\00:14:02.43
MOSES TOLD THE PEOPLE, "MY TIME
IS UP BASICALLY, BUT SOMEONE
00:14:02.43\00:14:06.03
ELSE IS COMING AND THEY'RE
GOING TO SET YOU STRAIGHT."
00:14:06.03\00:14:08.43
DEUTERONOMY 18:15, "THE
LORD YOUR GOD," YOU OUGHT TO
00:14:08.43\00:14:13.56
UNDERLINE THIS IF YOU UNDERLINE
IN THE BIBLE, "THE LORD YOUR GOD
00:14:13.56\00:14:17.56
WILL RAISE UP FOR
YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME."
00:14:17.56\00:14:22.93
"A PROPHET," DOESN'T NAME
HIM, "LIKE ME FROM YOUR MIDST,"
00:14:22.93\00:14:30.80
HE'LL BE ONE OF YOUR
PEOPLE, "OF YOUR BRETHREN.
00:14:30.80\00:14:33.70
HIM YOU WILL HEAR."
00:14:33.70\00:14:35.76
NOT ONLY IS THAT A COMMAND,
IT WAS A FACT, A STATEMENT
00:14:35.76\00:14:39.30
OF HISTORY.
00:14:39.30\00:14:40.40
NOW, THAT PROPHECY OF
MOSES IS QUOTED MANY TIMES IN
00:14:40.40\00:14:42.73
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:14:42.73\00:14:43.96
IT WAS DURING OUR
SCRIPTURE READING.
00:14:43.96\00:14:46.00
THAT'S WHAT MICHAEL JUST READ.
00:14:46.00\00:14:47.80
AND I WANT TO LOOK
AT SOME EXAMPLES HERE.
00:14:47.80\00:14:50.33
FIRST OF ALL, THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE NAME OF THIS PROPHET
00:14:50.33\00:14:53.26
WAS BUT EVERY JEW WAS WONDERING,
"WHEN WILL THAT PROPHET LIKE
00:14:53.26\00:14:55.73
MOSES COME?"
00:14:55.73\00:14:57.10
AND THEY JUST SIMPLY
CALLED HIM "THAT PROPHET."
00:14:57.10\00:14:59.53
FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU READ IN
JOHN, THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 1:21,
00:14:59.53\00:15:04.40
THEY CAME TO JOHN THE BAPTIST
AND THEY'RE WONDERING WHO HE IS.
00:15:04.40\00:15:08.60
"AND THEY SAID, 'WHAT THEN?
00:15:08.60\00:15:10.30
ARE YOU ELIJAH?'
HE SAID, 'I AM NOT.'
00:15:10.30\00:15:13.23
'ARE YOU THE PROPHET?'"
NOW, WHO DO YOU THINK THEY'RE
00:15:13.23\00:15:17.33
TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY
SAID TO JOHN THE BAPTIST,
00:15:17.33\00:15:19.83
"ARE YOU THE PROPHET?"
00:15:19.83\00:15:22.06
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
PROPHET WHO WAS GOING TO COME
00:15:22.06\00:15:24.90
THAT WOULD BE LIKE MOSES.
00:15:24.90\00:15:26.90
"AND HE SAID, 'NO.'" JOHN
1:25, "THEY ASKED HIM THEN
00:15:26.90\00:15:32.93
SAYING, 'WHY DO YOU BAPTIZE
THEN IF YOU ARE NOT THE CHRIST
00:15:32.93\00:15:35.80
OR ELIJAH OR THE PROPHET?'"
SO, THERE WAS THIS ETHEREAL,
00:15:35.80\00:15:40.53
MYSTERIOUS, GREAT PROPHET LIKE
MOSES WHO WAS TO COME AND THEY
00:15:40.53\00:15:45.30
ALWAYS REFERRED TO
HIM AS "THE PROPHET."
00:15:45.30\00:15:48.13
JOHN 5:45, JESUS IS SPEAKING, HE
SAID, "DO NOT THINK THAT I WILL
00:15:48.13\00:15:54.80
ACCUSE YOU TO THE FATHER; THERE
IS ONE WHO ACCUSES YOU--MOSES,
00:15:54.80\00:15:59.26
IN WHOM YOU TRUST.
00:15:59.26\00:16:01.10
FOR IF YOU BELIEVED MOSES,
YOU WOULD'VE BELIEVED ME BECAUSE
00:16:01.10\00:16:05.13
HE WROTE OF ME."
00:16:05.13\00:16:06.90
CHRIST IS SAYING, "LOOK, YOU
KNOW THAT PROPHET MOSES TALKED
00:16:06.90\00:16:08.86
ABOUT?
00:16:08.86\00:16:09.56
THAT'S ME."
00:16:09.56\00:16:10.16
BUT EVEN MORE THAT, THE
ESSENCE OF THE LAW IS JESUS.
00:16:10.16\00:16:16.93
HE'S THE VERY EMBODIMENT OF
THE LAW AND WRITINGS OF MOSES.
00:16:16.93\00:16:20.83
HE SAID, "BUT IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE MOSES' WRITINGS, HOW
00:16:20.83\00:16:23.43
WILL YOU BELIEVE MY WORDS?
00:16:23.43\00:16:25.10
'CAUSE MOSES
FORETOLD I WAS COMING."
00:16:25.10\00:16:27.96
NOW AS YOU READ ON FURTHER AND
YOU DO A LITTLE MORE DIGGING,
00:16:27.96\00:16:30.70
YOU FIND OUT THE BIBLE NEW
TESTAMENT WRITERS RECOGNIZED
00:16:30.70\00:16:34.13
JESUS WAS THE FULFILLMENT
OF THIS TYPE THAT MOSES SPOKE
00:16:34.13\00:16:39.23
ABOUT.
00:16:39.23\00:16:41.13
JOHN, "JESUS IS THE
PROPHET THAT MOSES FORETOLD."
00:16:41.13\00:16:44.86
JOHN 6:14, "THEN THOSE MEN,
WHEN THEY HAD SEEN THE SIGN THAT
00:16:44.86\00:16:51.96
JESUS DID, THEY SAID, 'THIS IS
TRULY THE PROPHET WHO IS TO COME
00:16:51.96\00:16:56.80
INTO THE WORLD.'"
POINTING TO CHRIST, THEY'RE
00:16:56.80\00:16:58.50
SAYING, "HE'S THE PROPHET
THAT MOSES HAD SPOKE ABOUT."
00:16:58.50\00:17:02.13
CAN YOU SEE THAT THERE,
THOSE WORDS "THE PROPHET,
00:17:02.13\00:17:04.93
THE PROPHET"?
00:17:04.93\00:17:06.43
WE KNOW WHO IT IS.
00:17:06.43\00:17:07.36
IT'S A PROPHET LIKE MOSES.
00:17:07.36\00:17:09.30
ACTS 3:22, "FOR MOSES TRULY SAID
UNTO OUR FATHERS, 'A PROPHET
00:17:09.30\00:17:15.36
SHALL THE LORD YOUR GOD RAISE UP
UNTO YOUR BRETHREN LIKE UNTO ME.
00:17:15.36\00:17:19.06
HIM YOU WILL HEAR IN ALL THINGS,
WHATEVER HE SAYS TO YOU.'"
00:17:19.06\00:17:22.56
YOU JUMP TO VERSE 24,
"YEA, AND ALL THE PROPHETS, FROM
00:17:22.56\00:17:26.53
SAMUEL AND THOSE THAT FOLLOWED
AFTER, AS MANY AS HAVE SPOKEN,
00:17:26.53\00:17:31.03
HAVE LIKEWISE
FORETOLD THESE DAYS."
00:17:31.03\00:17:33.36
NOT JUST MOSES,
BUT ALL THE PROPHETS.
00:17:33.36\00:17:35.86
AGAIN, PETER IS REITERATING
THEY'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
00:17:35.86\00:17:41.60
NOW, WE ALREADY READ ACTS 7:37.
00:17:41.60\00:17:43.76
SO, I WANT TO USE ANOTHER NEW
TESTAMENT WRITER WHO HELPS US TO
00:17:43.76\00:17:48.23
ILLUSTRATE THAT CHRIST AND MOSES
ARE TYPES, VERY POWERFUL TYPES.
00:17:48.23\00:17:52.80
AND HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL GET
TO KNOW JESUS A LITTLE BETTER
00:17:52.80\00:17:54.90
AS YOU LOOK AT MOSES TODAY.
00:17:54.90\00:17:56.66
PAUL SAYS WE'RE
BAPTIZED IN MOSES.
00:17:56.66\00:18:01.00
NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF WE
HAD A BAPTISM TODAY AND I HELD
00:18:01.00\00:18:04.00
UP MY HAND AND I SAID,
"I BAPTIZE YOU IN THE NAME
00:18:04.00\00:18:05.66
OF MOSES."
00:18:05.66\00:18:07.26
THAT GETS YOUR ATTENTION.
00:18:07.26\00:18:08.83
BUT THIS IS REALLY WHAT PAUL WAS
SAYING 'CAUSE MOSES WAS A TYPE
00:18:08.83\00:18:11.33
OF CHRIST.
00:18:11.33\00:18:11.96
1 CORINTHIANS 10:1, "MOREOVER,
BRETHREN, I DO NOT WANT YOU TO
00:18:11.96\00:18:18.63
BE," IGNORANT OR, "UNAWARE
THAT OUR FATHERS WERE UNDER
00:18:18.63\00:18:22.56
THE CLOUD, AND THEY ALL PASSED
THROUGH THE SEA, AND THEY WERE
00:18:22.56\00:18:27.33
ALL BAPTIZED INTO MOSES IN THE
CLOUD AND IN THE SEA, AND THEY
00:18:27.33\00:18:32.00
ALL ATE THE SAME SPIRITUAL
FOOD, AND THEY DRANK THE SAME
00:18:32.00\00:18:35.16
SPIRITUAL DRINK.
00:18:35.16\00:18:36.23
FOR THEY DRANK OF THAT SPIRITUAL
ROCK THAT FOLLOWED THEM,
00:18:36.23\00:18:39.26
AND THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST."
00:18:39.26\00:18:41.76
NOW, PASTOR DOUG IS NOT MAKING
UP SOME NEW BIBLE INTERPRETATION
00:18:41.76\00:18:46.70
METHOD HERE.
00:18:46.70\00:18:48.10
I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU ALL READ
YOUR BIBLES USING THE METHOD
00:18:48.10\00:18:51.50
THAT THE APOSTLES
USED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:18:51.50\00:18:54.26
THEY'RE SAYING, "READ YOUR BIBLE
AND LOOK FOR JESUS, NOT JUST
00:18:54.26\00:18:57.86
THE OLD TESTAMENT
BUT EVEN IN THE NEW."
00:18:57.86\00:19:00.20
PAUL, POINTING TO THE EXODUS
EXPERIENCE, HE SAID THAT WHEN
00:19:00.20\00:19:04.36
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WENT THROUGH THE RED SEA,
00:19:04.36\00:19:06.90
IT'S A TYPE OF BAPTISM.
00:19:06.90\00:19:08.43
WHEN THE PILLAR OF FIRE WAS
THERE, IT WAS A TYPE OF BAPTISM
00:19:08.43\00:19:11.00
IN THE SPIRIT.
00:19:11.00\00:19:12.53
WHEN MOSES STRUCK THE ROCK
AND WATER CAME OUT AND IRRIGATED
00:19:12.53\00:19:16.36
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
WHAT DID THAT ROCK REPRESENT?
00:19:16.36\00:19:19.66
CHRIST IS THAT ROCK.
00:19:19.66\00:19:23.10
AND WE SING ABOUT IT, BUT
HERE ARE THE VERSES THAT TELL US
00:19:23.10\00:19:25.20
THAT.
00:19:25.20\00:19:25.86
BY THE WAY, YOU
FIND THAT IN EXODUS 17:6.
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.90
I LIKE IT WHEN I SEE YOUR HEADS
DROP DOWN, NOT BECAUSE YOUR
00:19:28.90\00:19:32.03
NODDING OFF BUT
RIGHT WHEN I SAY THE VERSE.
00:19:32.03\00:19:35.13
IF YOU'RE GOING TO NOD OFF,
DO IT RIGHT AFTER I SAY A VERSE
00:19:35.13\00:19:36.86
AND I'LL NOT KNOW.
00:19:36.86\00:19:37.93
BUT WHEN YOUR HEADS DROP DOWN,
I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE LOOKING IT
00:19:37.93\00:19:40.16
UP OR YOU'RE WRITING IT DOWN.
00:19:40.16\00:19:41.46
EXODUS 17:6, "BEHOLD, I
STAND BEFORE THEE, THERE UPON
00:19:41.46\00:19:46.20
THE ROCK IN HOREB; AND YOU SHALL
SMITE THE ROCK, AND WATER WILL
00:19:46.20\00:19:51.80
COME OUT OF IT, THAT
THE PEOPLE MIGHT DRINK."
00:19:51.80\00:19:54.53
CHRIST IS THE ROCK THAT
WAS STRUCK THAT YOU AND I MIGHT
00:19:54.53\00:19:58.53
DRINK THE LIVING WATER.
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.50
SO AS YOU READ THROUGH
THESE STORIES OF MOSES, AND IN
00:20:00.50\00:20:03.33
THE OLD TESTAMENT IT'S
ALL TELLINGS ABOUT JESUS.
00:20:03.33\00:20:05.56
ALRIGHT, NOW I'M GOING TO GO
QUICKLY BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF
00:20:05.56\00:20:07.26
GROUND TO COVER.
00:20:07.26\00:20:09.26
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
PARALLELS OF JESUS AND MOSES.
00:20:09.26\00:20:14.13
AND WE'LL START
AT THE BEGINNING.
00:20:14.13\00:20:17.86
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT
BOTH JESUS AND MOSES AS BABIES
00:20:17.86\00:20:22.30
SURVIVED GENOCIDE?
00:20:22.30\00:20:24.60
NOW, THERE WAS A GOVERNMENT
MANDATE TO KILL ALL OF
00:20:24.60\00:20:27.70
THE BABIES, NOT ANY BABIES,
ALL OF THE HEBREW BABY BOYS.
00:20:27.70\00:20:33.46
NOW, OF COURSE, IT WAS
ALL THE HEBREWS FOR MOSES.
00:20:33.46\00:20:37.13
IT WAS THE HEBREW BOYS IN
BETHLEHEM, IT WAS MORE LOCAL
00:20:37.13\00:20:38.96
FOR JESUS.
00:20:38.96\00:20:40.30
BUT THEY WEREN'T KILLING
THE GENTILES, THEY WERE GOING TO
00:20:40.30\00:20:42.70
KILL THE HEBREW
BABIES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:20:42.70\00:20:45.00
YOU READ THAT IN EXODUS 1:22,
"AND PHARAOH CHARGED HIS PEOPLE,
00:20:45.00\00:20:48.66
SAYING, 'EVERY SON THAT IS BORN
YOU WILL CAST IN THE RIVER.'"
00:20:48.66\00:20:52.10
MATTHEW 2:16, "HEROD, WHEN HE
SAW HE WAS DECEIVED BY THE WISE
00:20:52.10\00:20:56.40
MEN, WAS EXCEEDINGLY ANGRY; AND
HE SENT FORTH AND PUT TO DEATH
00:20:56.40\00:21:00.63
ALL THE MALE CHILDREN WHO WERE
IN BETHLEHEM, FROM 2 YEARS OLD
00:21:00.63\00:21:04.06
AND UNDER."
00:21:04.06\00:21:05.76
IT'S ALSO INTERESTING THAT BOTH
MOSES AND JESUS WERE BORN OF
00:21:05.76\00:21:12.26
SLAVES BUT THEY
NEVER SERVED AS SLAVES.
00:21:12.26\00:21:16.16
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS MOSES
WAS BORN WITH SLAVE PARENTS,
00:21:16.16\00:21:18.50
BUT DID MOSES EVER MAKE BRICKS?
00:21:18.50\00:21:22.43
NO, HE NEVER WAS CAPTIVE AS A
SLAVE BUT HE WAS BORN OF SLAVE
00:21:22.43\00:21:26.50
PARENTS.
00:21:26.50\00:21:27.20
CHRIST WAS BORN OF HUMANS WHO
HAD SINNED, BUT HE NEVER SINNED.
00:21:27.20\00:21:35.83
"DRAWN FROM THE
WATER" IS WHAT MOSES MEANS.
00:21:35.83\00:21:39.20
HE WAS RAISED
UP FROM HIS PEOPLE.
00:21:39.20\00:21:41.43
WHAT DOES WATER
REPRESENT IN PROPHETIC SYMBOLS?
00:21:41.43\00:21:43.83
MULTITUDES OF
PEOPLES, LANGUAGES AND TONGUES.
00:21:43.83\00:21:46.16
CHRIST CAME FROM THE MIDDLE OF
CIVILIZATION, OF ROME, AMONG ALL
00:21:46.16\00:21:50.66
THE PEOPLES TO SAVE THE PEOPLE.
00:21:50.66\00:21:52.30
HE WAS DRAWN FROM THE WATER,
YOU MIGHT SAY, ANOTHER TYPE
00:21:52.30\00:21:55.23
OF MOSES.
00:21:55.23\00:21:57.10
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS WERE SAVED
THROUGH THE VEHICLE OF EGYPT
00:21:57.10\00:22:02.16
SOMEHOW.
00:22:02.16\00:22:03.60
YOU CAN READ THERE, EXODUS 2:10,
YOU REMEMBER THAT HIS MOTHER PUT
00:22:03.60\00:22:10.66
HIM IN A BASKET ADOPTED
BY THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER.
00:22:10.66\00:22:13.20
I'M ASSUMING YOU ALL
KNOW THE BIG PICTURE OF MOSES.
00:22:13.20\00:22:16.00
IS THAT OKAY?
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.10
OKAY, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
READ ALL THE WAY FROM EXODUS TO
00:22:17.10\00:22:19.76
DEUTERONOMY RIGHT NOW.
00:22:19.76\00:22:21.20
I'M ASSUMING YOU KNOW THE
BIG PIECES THERE, HOW THE MOTHER
00:22:21.20\00:22:24.36
SAVED HIM BY PUTTING HIM IN THE
BASKET AND HE WAS THEN RESCUED
00:22:24.36\00:22:30.66
IN THE PALACE SO
TO SPEAK OF EGYPT.
00:22:30.66\00:22:34.76
"AND SHE BROUGHT HIM
TO PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER,
00:22:34.76\00:22:37.00
AND HE BECAME HER SON.
00:22:37.00\00:22:38.80
AND SHE CALLED HIS NAME MOSES."
00:22:38.80\00:22:40.70
NOTICE, IT SAYS, "AND
THE CHILD GREW," EXODUS 2:10.
00:22:40.70\00:22:44.56
GO TO LUKE 2:40, RATHER,
AND LOOK AT THE WORDS IT SAYS
00:22:44.56\00:22:48.53
ABOUT JESUS.
00:22:48.53\00:22:49.60
BY THE WAY, JESUS FLED TO EGYPT
AS A CHILD TO BE PRESERVED FROM
00:22:49.60\00:22:52.93
A GOVERNMENT OF THREAT.
00:22:52.93\00:22:57.13
"AND THE CHILD GREW," SAME FOUR
WORDS, "AND THE CHILD GREW AND
00:22:57.13\00:23:01.80
BECAME STRONG IN SPIRIT, FILLED
WITH WISDOM; AND THE GRACE OF
00:23:01.80\00:23:04.96
GOD WAS UPON HIM."
00:23:04.96\00:23:06.30
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS
REFUSED WORLDLY WEALTH.
00:23:06.30\00:23:13.10
THEY HAD OPPORTUNITY FOR
GREAT GLORY AND WEALTH, AND THEY
00:23:13.10\00:23:20.33
TURNED THEIR BACK ON
IT TO SAVE GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:23:20.33\00:23:23.63
READ IN HEBREWS 11:24 ABOUT
MOSES, "BY FAITH MOSES, WHEN HE
00:23:23.63\00:23:30.43
BECAME OF AGE, HE REFUSED TO
BE CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH'S
00:23:30.43\00:23:33.90
DAUGHTER, CHOOSING RATHER
TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE
00:23:33.90\00:23:37.43
PEOPLE OF GOD THAN TO ENJOY
THE PLEASURES OF SIN, ESTEEMING
00:23:37.43\00:23:41.06
THE REPROACHES OF CHRIST," MOSES
KNEW ABOUT THE REPROACHES OF
00:23:41.06\00:23:44.83
CHRIST, "OF GREATER RICHES
THAN THE TREASURES IN EGYPT;
00:23:44.83\00:23:49.20
FOR HE LOOKED TO THE REWARD."
00:23:49.20\00:23:51.36
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS TURNED
THEIR BACKS ON THE PALACE.
00:23:51.36\00:23:55.03
JESUS LEFT THE PALACES OF
GLORY AND CAME TO THIS WORLD.
00:23:55.03\00:23:57.90
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS MADE OF
NO REPUTATION THAT HE MIGHT SAVE
00:23:57.90\00:24:03.00
YOU AND ME.
00:24:03.00\00:24:04.50
THE DEVIL OFFERED JESUS
ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD,
00:24:04.50\00:24:07.66
AND WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:24:07.66\00:24:08.83
YOU REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED
IN MATTHEW 4:8-9, "HE TOOK HIM
00:24:08.83\00:24:11.50
UP ON AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN
AND SHOWED HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS
00:24:11.50\00:24:14.10
AND THEIR GLORY."
00:24:14.10\00:24:15.63
AND CHRIST
TURNED HIS BACK ON IT.
00:24:15.63\00:24:18.66
WHY?
00:24:18.66\00:24:19.66
'CAUSE HE WANTED
TO SAVE GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:24:19.66\00:24:22.56
PHILIPPIANS 2:7, "BUT HE MADE
HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, TAKING
00:24:22.56\00:24:29.03
THE FORM OF A BONDSERVANT,
AND COMING IN THE LIKENESS OF
00:24:29.03\00:24:32.06
SINFUL MEN.
00:24:32.06\00:24:33.70
AND BEING FOUND IN THE
APPEARANCE OF MAN, HE HUMBLED
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.66
HIMSELF AND BECAME
OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH."
00:24:35.66\00:24:39.40
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS OF
JESUS, "I AM MEEK AND LOWLY."
00:24:39.40\00:24:44.30
WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE SAY ABOUT MOSES?
00:24:44.30\00:24:46.00
HE WAS THE MEEKEST
MAN IN ALL THE WORLD.
00:24:46.00\00:24:48.73
MOSES AND JESUS, A
LOT OF PARALLELS THERE.
00:24:48.73\00:24:51.46
JESUS SAID, "I CAME FROM THE
FATHER AND I COME IN THE WORLD.
00:24:51.46\00:24:56.30
AGAIN, I LEAVE THE
WORLD AND I GO TO THE FATHER."
00:24:56.30\00:24:59.53
CHRIST LEFT THOSE PALACES OF
GLORY, TURNED HIS BACK ON ALL
00:24:59.53\00:25:02.80
THAT SO THAT HE MIGHT SAVE US.
00:25:02.80\00:25:05.33
I ALSO THINK IT'S INTERESTING
THAT BOTH MOSES AND JESUS SAT
00:25:05.33\00:25:11.70
DOWN BY A WELL AND FOUND
A WOMAN, AND THEY WERE BOTH
00:25:11.70\00:25:15.33
THIRSTY.
00:25:15.33\00:25:16.30
MOSES WHEN HE HAD FLED EGYPT,
HE CROSSED THE DESERT OF MIDIAN
00:25:16.30\00:25:18.66
AND HE SAT DOWN BY A WELL.
00:25:18.66\00:25:20.56
AND YOU CAN READ HERE IN
EXODUS 2:15, "NOW WHEN PHARAOH
00:25:20.56\00:25:24.80
HEARD THIS THING, HE
SOUGHT TO SLAY MOSES.
00:25:24.80\00:25:27.16
BUT MOSES FLED FROM
THE FACE OF PHARAOH.
00:25:27.16\00:25:29.43
HE DWELT IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN;
AND HE SAT DOWN BY A WELL."
00:25:29.43\00:25:32.73
THERE HE MET THE SEVEN
DAUGHTERS OF ZIPPORAH OF JETHRO,
00:25:32.73\00:25:38.20
AND HE ENDED UP MARRYING ONE
OF THE SEVEN ZIPPORAH, RIGHT?
00:25:38.20\00:25:42.40
THEN YOU READ ABOUT JESUS,
JOHN 4:6, "NOW JACOB'S WELL
00:25:42.40\00:25:47.93
WAS THERE.
00:25:47.93\00:25:48.73
JESUS THEREFORE, BEING WEARIED
FROM HIS JOURNEY, SAT THUS
00:25:48.73\00:25:51.36
ON THE WELL."
00:25:51.36\00:25:53.26
AND THEN JESUS MEETS A
WOMAN WHO'S HAD FIVE HUSBANDS.
00:25:53.26\00:25:57.66
SHE'S LIVING WITH ONE
THAT SHE'S NOT MARRIED TO.
00:25:57.66\00:26:00.26
THAT'S SIX, AND JESUS ENDS
UP BEING THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES
00:26:00.26\00:26:03.00
HER SATISFACTION,
A TOTAL OF SEVEN MEN.
00:26:03.00\00:26:06.76
DID YOU GET THAT?
00:26:06.76\00:26:08.43
NOW, WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS
SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS
00:26:08.43\00:26:11.00
AND SHE FINALLY FINDS THE
MESSIAH IN THE SEVENTH MAN.
00:26:11.00\00:26:13.36
THAT GENTILE OR THAT SAMARITAN
WOMAN REPRESENTS CHRIST GIVING
00:26:13.36\00:26:17.10
THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILE CHURCH
'CAUSE HE TOLD HER THAT DAY THAT
00:26:17.10\00:26:21.63
HE WAS THE MESSIAH.
00:26:21.63\00:26:23.36
SHE LEAVES HER WATER POT.
00:26:23.36\00:26:24.80
SHE RUNS AND SHE TELLS
EVERYBODY ELSE THAT SHE'S FOUND
00:26:24.80\00:26:29.00
THE MESSIAH.
00:26:29.00\00:26:29.83
BY THE WAY, THAT
WOMAN LEFT AND CAME BACK.
00:26:29.83\00:26:32.63
THE DAUGHTERS OF JETHRO
LEFT AND THEY TOLD ABOUT THIS
00:26:32.63\00:26:35.73
EGYPTIAN WHO DELIVERED THEM FROM
THE SHEPHERDS THAT WERE BEATING
00:26:35.73\00:26:39.20
THEM UP OR CHASING
THEM AWAY FROM THE WELL.
00:26:39.20\00:26:41.36
HE SAID, "WELL,
WHERE IS THE MAN?
00:26:41.36\00:26:42.76
HE SAVED YOU AND YOU
DIDN'T EVEN BRING HIM HOME?"
00:26:42.76\00:26:45.10
SO, THEY WENT BACK TO GET HIM.
00:26:45.10\00:26:46.46
AND SO, YOU'VE JUST GOT SO MANY
PARALLELS IN THESE STORIES HERE.
00:26:46.46\00:26:50.53
AM I MAKING THESE THINGS UP?
00:26:50.53\00:26:51.80
IS THIS ALL COINCIDENCE?
00:26:51.80\00:26:54.13
IS IT SELF-FULFILLED PROPHECY
OR DOES GOD SEE ALL HISTORY
00:26:54.13\00:26:58.46
AND HE'S WANTING
US TO RECOGNIZE JESUS?
00:26:58.46\00:27:02.23
MOSES AND JESUS, AND THIS IS
JUST SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD,
00:27:02.23\00:27:05.56
WERE GREAT LAWGIVERS.
00:27:05.56\00:27:08.80
DO I NEED TO GIVE YOU A
LOT OF SCRIPTURE THAT MOSES WAS
00:27:08.80\00:27:12.80
A LAWGIVER?
00:27:12.80\00:27:14.33
JOSHUA 8:32, "AND THERE IN
THE PRESENCE OF THE CHILDREN OF
00:27:14.33\00:27:17.63
ISRAEL, HE WROTE ON THE STONES
A COPY OF THE LAW OF MOSES
00:27:17.63\00:27:20.80
WHICH HE HAD WRITTEN."
00:27:20.80\00:27:22.63
JESUS, JOHN 13:34, "A NEW
COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU
00:27:22.63\00:27:27.10
THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
00:27:27.10\00:27:29.13
OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU FIND
CHRIST AND MOSES TALKING ABOUT
00:27:29.13\00:27:32.63
GIVING THE LAW OF THEIR FATHER.
00:27:32.63\00:27:36.06
BOTH MOSES AND
JESUS WERE JUDGES.
00:27:36.06\00:27:40.13
EXODUS 18:13, "AND IT CAME ABOUT
ON THE NEXT DAY THAT MOSES SAT
00:27:40.13\00:27:45.00
TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE AND THE
PEOPLE STOOD ABOUT MOSES FROM
00:27:45.00\00:27:48.13
THE MORNING UNTIL THE EVENING."
00:27:48.13\00:27:50.36
MOSES WAS A GREAT
AND A RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.
00:27:50.36\00:27:53.43
THEN, YOU READ IN 2
CORINTHIANS 5:10, "FOR WE MUST
00:27:53.43\00:27:56.76
ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT
SEAT OF CHRIST THAT EACH ONE
00:27:56.76\00:28:00.96
MIGHT RECEIVE THE
THINGS DONE IN THE BODY."
00:28:00.96\00:28:03.40
DOES THAT FIT?
00:28:03.40\00:28:04.56
AM I MAKING THINGS UP?
00:28:04.56\00:28:06.13
ARE BOTH MOSES AND JESUS,
GREAT JUDGES OF GOD'S PEOPLE?
00:28:06.13\00:28:11.03
MOSES, DURING HIS TIME,
PRAYED AND BREAD CAME DOWN,
00:28:11.03\00:28:17.93
SUPERNATURAL BREAD
NOURISHED THE PEOPLE.
00:28:17.93\00:28:21.36
CHRIST COMMENTS ON THIS IN
JOHN 6:32, "THEN JESUS SAID TO
00:28:21.36\00:28:25.83
THEM, 'MOST ASSUREDLY, I SAY
TO YOU, MOSES DID NOT GIVE YOU
00:28:25.83\00:28:29.20
THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN, BUT MY
FATHER GIVES YOU THE TRUE BREAD
00:28:29.20\00:28:32.70
FROM HEAVEN.
00:28:32.70\00:28:33.73
FOR THE BREAD OF GOD IS HE WHO
COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN, GIVES
00:28:33.73\00:28:37.40
LIFE TO THE WORLD.' AND
THEY SAID TO HIM, 'LORD,
00:28:37.40\00:28:40.06
ALWAYS GIVE US THIS BREAD.'"
THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT
00:28:40.06\00:28:43.16
THE WRONG BREAD.
00:28:43.16\00:28:44.20
LIKE THE WOMAN AT THE WELL, SHE
SAID, "OH, I WANT THAT LIVING
00:28:44.20\00:28:45.83
WATER, I DON'T WANT TO
HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE WELL."
00:28:45.83\00:28:48.86
HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT A
SPIRITUAL TYPE OF WATER.
00:28:48.86\00:28:51.13
AND THEY SAID, "OH
YEAH, WE WANT THAT BREAD.
00:28:51.13\00:28:52.66
WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE
TO GO TO THE STORE ANYMORE.
00:28:52.66\00:28:54.50
CAN YOU RAIN BREAD FROM HEAVEN?"
00:28:54.50\00:28:56.30
AND JESUS SAID, "I
AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:28:56.30\00:28:59.60
HE THAT COMES TO ME WILL NEVER
HUNGER AND HE THAT BELIEVES IN
00:28:59.60\00:29:03.46
ME WILL NEVER THIRST."
00:29:03.46\00:29:05.53
CHRIST IS THAT LIVING WATER.
00:29:05.53\00:29:07.30
HE IS THAT BREAD.
00:29:07.30\00:29:08.63
AND YOU KNOW WHEN THAT BREAD
CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, I THINK
00:29:08.63\00:29:11.03
I MENTIONED TO YOU LAST WEEK,
IT WAS ROUND WHICH IS A SIGN
00:29:11.03\00:29:14.66
OF PERFECT.
00:29:14.66\00:29:16.06
THE BIBLE SAYS IT TASTED LIKE
HONEY, SORT OF ANGEL FOOD CAKE.
00:29:16.06\00:29:20.66
IT WAS SWEET.
00:29:20.66\00:29:22.36
THE WORD OF GOD IS SWEET.
00:29:22.36\00:29:23.90
THE WORD OF GOD IS PERFECT.
00:29:23.90\00:29:25.06
IT CAME SOFTLY.
00:29:25.06\00:29:26.53
THE WORD OF GOD COMES QUIETLY.
00:29:26.53\00:29:29.13
JESUS CAME QUIETLY
INTO THIS WORLD, DIDN'T HE?
00:29:29.13\00:29:31.73
HE DIDN'T COME WITH TRUMPETS.
00:29:31.73\00:29:32.73
HE WAS BORN AS A BABY.
00:29:32.73\00:29:34.06
AND THAT, THEN IT EVAPORATED
IF THEY DIDN'T EAT IT.
00:29:34.06\00:29:38.36
THEY NEEDED IT FRESH EVERY DAY.
00:29:38.36\00:29:40.40
AND YOU AND I NEED CHRIST
FRESH EVERY DAY IN OUR LIVES.
00:29:40.40\00:29:43.10
IF YOU TRY AND LIVE TOMORROW ON
WHAT YOU GET TODAY, IT'LL BREED
00:29:43.10\00:29:45.56
WORMS EVERY DAY EXCEPT SABBATH.
00:29:45.56\00:29:47.30
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:29:47.30\00:29:48.93
JESUS IS THAT BREAD.
00:29:48.93\00:29:51.13
MOSES AND JESUS
DEFEATED THE SERPENT.
00:29:51.13\00:29:57.40
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY FOUND
IN THE BOOK OF NUMBERS WHERE
00:29:57.40\00:30:01.33
THE PEOPLE BEGAN TO COMPLAIN
ABOUT THE MANNA THAT GOD WAS
00:30:01.33\00:30:04.56
GIVING THEM.
00:30:04.56\00:30:05.43
AND SO, THE LORD ALLOWED
THESE FIERY SERPENTS TO JUST
00:30:05.43\00:30:08.43
PROLIFERATE AMONG THE PEOPLE
AND THEY WERE BITING THEM.
00:30:08.43\00:30:10.93
THEY WERE VENOMOUS,
DEADLY, VENOMOUS SERPENTS.
00:30:10.93\00:30:13.46
THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THEY
CALLED THEM "FIERY SERPENTS"
00:30:13.46\00:30:15.76
BECAUSE THEY HAD SOME BRIGHT,
RED COLORING OR IF THERE WAS
00:30:15.76\00:30:18.83
A FIERY STING THAT
WENT ALONG WITH THEIR BITE.
00:30:18.83\00:30:22.33
THAT'S MORE LIKELY.
00:30:22.33\00:30:23.80
AND MOSES PRAYED AND
INTERCEDED FOR THE PEOPLE.
00:30:23.80\00:30:27.76
AND THE LORD SAID, "MAKE
A BRONZE SERPENT, PUT IT ON
00:30:27.76\00:30:30.83
A POLE, LIFT IT UP
WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT.
00:30:30.83\00:30:33.76
IF THEY LOOK AND THEY BELIEVE
WHEN THEY LOOK AT THIS SERPENT
00:30:33.76\00:30:36.93
ON THE POLE, THEY'LL BE HEALED
FROM THE VENOM OF THE SERPENT."
00:30:36.93\00:30:40.30
SO, MOSES DID QUICKLY
WHAT HE WAS TOLD TO DO.
00:30:40.30\00:30:43.13
PUT IT UP AND THOSE WHO DID WHAT
THEY WERE COMMANDED AND LOOKED
00:30:43.13\00:30:46.86
AT THAT SERPENT--AND BY THE WAY,
WHAT IS A SERPENT ON A POLE MEAN
00:30:46.86\00:30:49.90
TO A NATION OF SHEPHERDS?
00:30:49.90\00:30:52.40
LET ME GIVE YOU A PICTURE.
00:30:52.40\00:30:53.93
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON IN THE MIDDLE
EAST TO SEE A SHEPHERD CARRYING
00:30:53.93\00:30:57.00
A STICK.
00:30:57.00\00:30:58.20
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON THINGS
HE'LL DO WITH THAT STICK IS IF
00:30:58.20\00:31:01.86
HE SEES A SNAKE, HE'LL HIT IT.
00:31:01.86\00:31:04.53
I WENT TO COVELO A FEW WEEKS
AGO, OPENED UP THE AIRPLANE
00:31:04.53\00:31:08.90
HANGAR THERE, AND A
LITTLE RATTLESNAKE COILED UP.
00:31:08.90\00:31:13.63
I'VE GOT A BROOMSTICK IN THE
HANGAR THAT I USE FOR COLLECTING
00:31:13.63\00:31:16.86
SPIDER WEBS, ALSO GOT
BLACK WIDOWS IN THERE.
00:31:16.86\00:31:19.90
ANYONE WANT TO GO
WITH ME NEXT TIME?
00:31:19.90\00:31:22.60
RATTLESNAKES AND BLACK WIDOWS.
00:31:22.60\00:31:24.03
AND I TOOK MY STICK, AND I
WALLOPED THE SNAKE JUST A COUPLE
00:31:24.03\00:31:29.06
WEEKS AGO, PICKED IT UP WITH
THE STICK, THREW IT OUT WHERE
00:31:29.06\00:31:31.76
NOBODY'S GOING TO
STEP ON IT, SOMEWHERE SAFE.
00:31:31.76\00:31:34.16
SHEPHERDS FREQUENTLY TO PROTECT
THE SHEEP WOULD KILL SNAKES,
00:31:34.16\00:31:37.86
PICK THEM UP WITH THEIR
STAFFS AND CARRY THEM OFF.
00:31:37.86\00:31:40.63
AND SO, IT WAS A VERY VIVID SIGN
WHEN YOU SAW A SHEPHERD CARRYING
00:31:40.63\00:31:44.70
A SNAKE ON A STICK, IT
MEANT DEFEATED SERPENT.
00:31:44.70\00:31:48.33
THAT SERPENT'S NOT
GOING TO BITE ANYMORE.
00:31:48.33\00:31:51.00
AND THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID THERE,
"AS MOSES," IN JOHN 3:14-15, BY
00:31:51.00\00:31:58.50
THE WAY THAT'S BEFORE JOHN 3:16,
"AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE SERPENT
00:31:58.50\00:32:03.73
IN THE WILDERNESS, EVEN SO MUST
THE SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP,
00:32:03.73\00:32:07.90
THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN
HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
00:32:07.90\00:32:11.10
EVERLASTING LIFE."
00:32:11.10\00:32:13.13
AND SO, CHRIST AGAIN IS DRAWING
A PARALLEL BETWEEN HIMSELF AND
00:32:13.13\00:32:17.90
MOSES, EXCEPT THIS TIME MOSES
THERE AS THE SERPENT KILLER,
00:32:17.90\00:32:22.20
CHRIST AS THE DRAGON KILLER.
00:32:22.20\00:32:25.63
THE DEVIL IS THAT
SERPENT, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:32:25.63\00:32:28.63
ON THE CROSS WHEN CHRIST
WAS LIFTED UP, DID HE DEFEAT
00:32:28.63\00:32:30.60
THE SERPENT?
00:32:30.60\00:32:32.13
IT GIVES YOU ANOTHER PICTURE
OF JESUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT MOSES.
00:32:32.13\00:32:35.96
YOU CAN GET TO KNOW JESUS
BETTER BY LOOKING AT MOSES.
00:32:35.96\00:32:43.16
I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH
SOME PICTURES YESTERDAY.
00:32:43.16\00:32:44.93
IT WAS KIND OF FUN.
00:32:44.93\00:32:46.46
AND I HAD SOME OLD PICTURES, AND
I HAD A PICTURE OF JOHN LOMACANG
00:32:46.46\00:32:53.90
AND I IN SOME APARTMENT IN
NEW YORK CITY RIGHT AFTER 9/11.
00:32:53.90\00:33:01.43
AND ANGIE WAS HOLDING, JOHN'S
WIFE, THE CAMERA BUT WHEN SHE
00:33:01.43\00:33:04.70
TOOK THE PICTURE, THERE WAS A
CLOSET DOOR THAT WAS PART OPEN
00:33:04.70\00:33:06.86
WITH A MIRROR.
00:33:06.86\00:33:07.83
SO, HERE YOU'VE GOT A PICTURE
OF JOHN AND I AND THEN THERE'S
00:33:07.83\00:33:09.53
A MIRROR AND WE CAN
SEE ANGIE IN THE MIRROR.
00:33:09.53\00:33:12.73
NOW, ANGIE WAS TAKING
THE PICTURE BUT SHE ACTUALLY
00:33:12.73\00:33:14.46
ENDED UP IN THE PICTURE,
THE REFLECTION OF HER IS THERE.
00:33:14.46\00:33:18.10
SO, I GOT A FREE PICTURE
OF ANGIE WHILE I'M LOOKING AT
00:33:18.10\00:33:20.26
THE PICTURE OF JOHN.
00:33:20.26\00:33:21.70
I'VE GOT TO SEND IT TO HIM.
00:33:21.70\00:33:22.53
IT'S KIND OF A FUN PICTURE.
00:33:22.53\00:33:23.63
AND THIS IS SORT OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING IS WE'RE LOOKING
00:33:23.63\00:33:26.26
AT MOSES, JESUS
WAS BEHIND THE CAMERA.
00:33:26.26\00:33:30.06
WE CAN SEE HIM IN THE PICTURE.
00:33:30.06\00:33:31.63
AND YOU SEE THAT
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:33:31.63\00:33:34.50
I'M SEEING THESE
PICTURES OF JESUS.
00:33:34.50\00:33:37.46
HE'S THERE.
00:33:37.46\00:33:39.20
AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT
SOME QUIRK THAT PASTOR DOUG HAS
00:33:39.20\00:33:42.90
WHEN HE STUDIES THE BIBLE.
00:33:42.90\00:33:44.13
THIS IS HOW
JESUS TAUGHT THE BIBLE.
00:33:44.13\00:33:46.16
THIS IS HOW PAUL
TAUGHT THE BIBLE.
00:33:46.16\00:33:47.90
CHRIST IS
EVERYWHERE IN THE WORD.
00:33:47.90\00:33:50.10
WE NEED TO JUST LOOK FOR HIM.
00:33:50.10\00:33:52.20
SHINING ON THE
MOUNTAIN, MOSES, JESUS.
00:33:52.20\00:33:57.70
MATTHEW 17, CHRIST WENT
UP THE MOUNTAIN, IT'S ALSO IN
00:33:57.70\00:34:00.93
MARK 9, CLIMBED
UP THIS MOUNTAIN.
00:34:00.93\00:34:03.93
HE'S TRANSFIGURED
BEFORE THE DISCIPLES.
00:34:03.93\00:34:06.40
THE GLORY OF GOD IS THERE.
00:34:06.40\00:34:07.83
GOD SPEAKS TO HIM.
00:34:07.83\00:34:09.53
"HIS FACE DID SHINE AS THE
SUN, AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE
00:34:09.53\00:34:14.53
AT THE LIGHT."
00:34:14.53\00:34:16.00
DID MOSES GO UP ON THE
MOUNTAIN AND TALK WITH GOD?
00:34:16.00\00:34:18.53
DID GOD SPEAK AUDIBLY TO HIM?
00:34:18.53\00:34:21.56
DID MOSES' FACE SHINE?
00:34:21.56\00:34:25.36
YOU READ THIS HERE,
EXODUS 34:30, "SO WHEN AARON AND
00:34:25.36\00:34:28.33
ALL THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SAW
MOSES, BEHOLD, THE SKIN OF HIS
00:34:28.33\00:34:31.33
FACE SHONE; AND THEY
WERE AFRAID TO COME NEAR HIM."
00:34:31.33\00:34:35.80
SO, MOSES VEILED HIS FACE SO
THAT HE COULD COMMUNICATE WITH
00:34:35.80\00:34:40.06
THE PEOPLE WITHOUT GIVING
THEM SKIN CANCER FROM THE SHINE.
00:34:40.06\00:34:48.60
CHRIST IS GOD, THE GLORY
OF GOD, VEILED IN HUMANITY.
00:34:48.60\00:34:57.60
AS A MATTER OF FACT IN THE BOOK
"DESIRE OF AGES," I HOPE YOU'VE
00:34:57.60\00:34:59.66
READ THAT, YOU'LL FIND THAT
PHRASE MANY TIMES THAT "CHRIST
00:34:59.66\00:35:02.76
VEILED HIS DIVINITY WITH
HUMANITY," THE SAME WAY MOSES
00:35:02.76\00:35:08.53
VEILED THE GLORY
WHEN HE TALKED TO GOD.
00:35:08.53\00:35:10.80
BY THE WAY, DO YOU OFTEN FIND
ALSO IN THE BIBLE THAT GOD SPOKE
00:35:10.80\00:35:15.90
AUDIBLY TO JESUS?
00:35:15.90\00:35:17.63
HE SPOKE AUDIBLY TO MOSES.
00:35:17.63\00:35:20.90
YOU CAN FIND JESUS HEARING
THE VOICE OF GOD AUDIBLY AT
00:35:20.90\00:35:25.03
HIS BAPTISM.
00:35:25.03\00:35:26.40
YOU CAN ALSO, WHERE THERE ARE
A LOT OF WITNESSES LISTENING,
00:35:26.40\00:35:31.33
YOU CAN ALSO FIND GOD SPEAKING
AUDIBLY TO JESUS ON THAT
00:35:31.33\00:35:34.13
MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION.
00:35:34.13\00:35:36.30
GOD SPOKE TO MOSES AUDIBLY
ON THE MOUNTAIN, AND HE SPOKE TO
00:35:36.30\00:35:40.16
HIM AUDIBLY IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE PEOPLE IN THE VALLEY.
00:35:40.16\00:35:42.80
NOW, HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN
THE BIBLE DID GOD AUDIBLY SPEAK
00:35:42.80\00:35:45.20
TO WHERE OTHERS COULD HEAR?
00:35:45.20\00:35:47.56
NOT TOO MANY.
00:35:47.56\00:35:49.66
MOSES AND CHRIST
ARE TYPES OF EACH OTHER.
00:35:49.66\00:35:53.56
BY THE WAY, WHEN JESUS WAS
ON THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
00:35:53.56\00:35:58.80
AND HIS FACE WAS SHINING AND
GOD SPOKE TO HIM, MOSES APPEARED
00:35:58.80\00:36:03.20
THAT DAY.
00:36:03.20\00:36:04.80
MAYBE THAT'S TRYING TO HELP
US MAKE A CONNECTION, ALONG WITH
00:36:04.80\00:36:07.70
ELIJAH, THAT THEY
WERE TYPES OF EACH OTHER.
00:36:07.70\00:36:10.80
WHEN THE GLORY FADED AND JESUS
WENT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, THE
00:36:10.80\00:36:13.96
FIRST THING THEY RUN INTO WHEN
THEY GET DOWN THE MOUNTAIN IS
00:36:13.96\00:36:16.30
THERE IS A BOY THAT IS SO DEMON
POSSESSED, THE DISCIPLES CANNOT
00:36:16.30\00:36:19.50
CAST OUT THE DEVILS.
00:36:19.50\00:36:21.50
GO FROM GLORY ON THE
MOUNTAIN WITH GOD TO DEVILS IN
00:36:21.50\00:36:27.53
THE VALLEY.
00:36:27.53\00:36:29.33
DID MOSES LEAVE THE GLORY OF GOD
AND THEN COME DOWN AND FIND OUT
00:36:29.33\00:36:32.80
THAT THE DEVIL WAS IN THE
VALLEY WITH A GOLDEN CALF?
00:36:32.80\00:36:37.20
ANOTHER PARALLEL RIGHT THERE,
BOTH SAW THE GLORY OF GOD ON
00:36:37.20\00:36:41.93
THE MOUNTAIN AND
DEVILS IN THE VALLEY.
00:36:41.93\00:36:44.03
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
00:36:44.03\00:36:47.20
DID THEY ATTEMPT TO STONE JESUS?
00:36:47.20\00:36:49.80
DID THEY ATTEMPT TO STONE MOSES?
00:36:49.80\00:36:54.06
EXODUS 17:4, "AND MOSES CRIED TO
THE LORD, SAYING, 'WHAT SHALL I
00:36:54.06\00:37:00.73
DO WITH THIS PEOPLE?
00:37:00.73\00:37:01.80
THEY'RE ALMOST
READY TO STONE ME!'"
00:37:01.80\00:37:03.63
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THEY
WERE READY TO CHOOSE ANOTHER
00:37:03.63\00:37:05.53
LEADER AND EXECUTE MOSES.
00:37:05.53\00:37:08.13
NUMBERS 14:10, "BUT ALL THE
CONGREGATION BADE STONE THEM
00:37:08.13\00:37:12.00
WITH STONES."
00:37:12.00\00:37:13.06
THAT WOULD BE MOSES, AARON,
JOSHUA AND CALEB IN THAT STORY.
00:37:13.06\00:37:18.80
YOU GO TO THE LIFE OF JESUS,
JOHN 8:59, "THEY TOOK UP STONES
00:37:18.80\00:37:23.06
TO CAST AT HIM," HIS OWN PEOPLE,
BOTH CASES, "BUT JESUS HID
00:37:23.06\00:37:28.23
HIMSELF AND WENT OUT OF THE
TEMPLE GOING THROUGH THE MIDST
00:37:28.23\00:37:30.83
OF THEM."
00:37:30.83\00:37:32.93
JOHN 10:31, "THEN THE JEWS TOOK
UP STONES TO STONE HIM AGAIN."
00:37:32.93\00:37:38.63
TWO TIMES, BOTH CHARACTERS,
THE PEOPLE WANTED TO STONE
00:37:38.63\00:37:44.43
THEIR SAVIOR.
00:37:44.43\00:37:46.40
YOU WONDER SOMETIMES
IF WE'RE THE SAME WAY.
00:37:46.40\00:37:50.60
SOMETIMES, WE GET TIRED OF GOD
AND WE'RE NOT ONLY READY TO WALK
00:37:50.60\00:37:53.70
AWAY, WE'RE READY TO DO HIM IN.
00:37:53.70\00:37:59.36
DID JESUS LEAD 12?
00:37:59.36\00:38:05.30
AND MOSES LED 12.
00:38:05.30\00:38:07.03
LUKE 6:13, "AND WHEN IT WAS
DAY, HE CALLED UNTO HIM, HIS
00:38:07.03\00:38:10.70
DISCIPLES, AND OF THEM HE
CHOSE 12 WHO HE NAMED APOSTLES."
00:38:10.70\00:38:14.56
AND OF COURSE, THOSE ARE
THE ONES HE LED FOR 3 1/2 YEARS
00:38:14.56\00:38:18.00
AND IT'S FROM THOSE APOSTLES
THAT THE CHURCH WAS POPULATED.
00:38:18.00\00:38:22.50
YOU READ ABOUT
THAT AT PENTECOST.
00:38:22.50\00:38:26.00
NUMBERS 1:44, "THESE ARE
THE NAMES OF THOSE THAT WERE
00:38:26.00\00:38:29.60
NUMBERED, WHICH MOSES NUMBERED,
AARON NUMBERED OF THE PRINCES OF
00:38:29.60\00:38:32.83
ISRAEL BEING 12 MEN."
00:38:32.83\00:38:34.96
THERE WERE 12 PRINCES OF ISRAEL,
OF COURSE, 12 TRIBES THAT MOSES
00:38:34.96\00:38:38.26
LED THROUGH THE WILDERNESS THAT
POPULATED THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
00:38:38.26\00:38:42.73
SO, YOU RIGHT AWAY FIND THESE
NUMBERS THAT CORRELATE BETWEEN
00:38:42.73\00:38:46.30
MOSES AND JESUS.
00:38:46.30\00:38:47.56
THE NUMBER 12, HOW
ABOUT THE NUMBER 70?
00:38:47.56\00:38:50.30
EXODUS 24:9, "THEN WENT MOSES,
AARON, AND NADAB AND ABIHU,
00:38:50.30\00:38:56.70
AND 70 OF THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL."
00:38:56.70\00:38:59.06
THEY WENT UP TO THE
FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN.
00:38:59.06\00:39:01.26
IT TALKS ABOUT THE 70 ELDERS
THAT GOD TOOK OF THE SPIRIT OF
00:39:01.26\00:39:05.56
MOSES AND PUT IT UPON THEM.
00:39:05.56\00:39:07.60
WHAT ABOUT JESUS?
00:39:07.60\00:39:09.00
LUKE 10:1, "AFTER THESE THINGS,
THE LORD APPOINTED 70 OTHERS
00:39:09.00\00:39:14.86
ALSO AND SENT THEM OUT
2 BY 2 BEFORE HIS FACE."
00:39:14.86\00:39:18.16
SO, HE HAD 70 LEADERS.
00:39:18.16\00:39:20.10
SO NOT ONLY DID JESUS HAVE THE
12 APOSTLES, HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER
00:39:20.10\00:39:23.46
GROUP AMONG THE
DISCIPLES THAT WERE LEADERS.
00:39:23.46\00:39:26.93
AND YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY REPLACED
JUDAS, IT SAYS THAT THEY DIDN'T
00:39:26.93\00:39:30.16
CHOOSE THE REPLACEMENT
FOR JUDAS, IN ACTS CHAPTER 1,
00:39:30.16\00:39:33.30
FROM JUST ANYBODY.
00:39:33.30\00:39:34.40
THEY CHOSE FROM DISCIPLES
WHO HAD FOLLOWED JESUS FROM THE
00:39:34.40\00:39:36.76
BEGINNING AND THAT'S WHEN
THEY CHOSE--WHAT'S HIS NAME?
00:39:36.76\00:39:42.06
MALCHIAS--MATTHIAS,
IS THAT RIGHT?
00:39:42.06\00:39:48.80
MATTHIAS, OKAY YEAH.
00:39:48.80\00:39:49.86
THEY CHOSE HIM.
00:39:49.86\00:39:51.40
OF COURSE, IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER
'CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE GOSPEL
00:39:51.40\00:39:53.53
OF MATTHIAS.
00:39:53.53\00:39:55.26
BUT THEY REPLACED HIM.
00:39:55.26\00:39:57.16
HE WAS PROBABLY 1 OF THE
70 IN JESUS' EXPANDED GROUP
00:39:57.16\00:40:02.03
OF LEADERSHIP.
00:40:02.03\00:40:02.76
SO, BOTH HAVE 12, BOTH HAVE 70.
00:40:02.76\00:40:04.36
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.
00:40:04.36\00:40:07.26
DID MOSES FAST FOR 40 DAYS
AND 40 NIGHTS ON A MOUNTAIN?
00:40:07.26\00:40:11.40
DID JESUS FAST FOR
40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS?
00:40:11.40\00:40:15.23
EXODUS 34:28, "AND HE WAS
THERE WITH THE LORD 40 DAYS AND
00:40:15.23\00:40:19.06
40 NIGHTS; NEITHER DID
EAT BREAD NOR DRINK WATER."
00:40:19.06\00:40:23.10
MATTHEW 4:2, "AND WHEN HE HAD
FASTED 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS,
00:40:23.10\00:40:26.86
AFTERWARD HE WAS HUNGRY."
00:40:26.86\00:40:28.06
AND BY THE WAY, NOT ONLY WAS
MOSES ON THE MOUNTAIN, THE DEVIL
00:40:28.06\00:40:30.86
AT THE END OF JESUS' FAST
TOOK HIM UP TO AN EXCEEDING HIGH
00:40:30.86\00:40:34.16
MOUNTAIN TOO.
00:40:34.16\00:40:35.56
SO, THERE THEY ARE BOTH
FASTING ON A MOUNTAIN 40 DAYS
00:40:35.56\00:40:38.23
AND 40 NIGHTS.
00:40:38.23\00:40:39.33
NOW, ONE DIFFERENCE IS MOSES
ATE NEITHER BREAD NOR WATER.
00:40:39.33\00:40:42.93
JESUS PROBABLY DRANK
WATER IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:40:42.93\00:40:45.66
IT NEVER SAYS HE
DIDN'T HAVE WATER.
00:40:45.66\00:40:47.90
IT WAS A REAL FAST
WHERE HE HAD NOTHING TO EAT.
00:40:47.90\00:40:50.66
I ALSO THINK IT'S SIGNIFICANT
THAT BOTH MOSES AND JESUS GAVE
00:40:50.66\00:40:57.46
OF THEIR SPIRIT TO OTHERS
WHO WOULD LEAD THE CHILDREN OF
00:40:57.46\00:41:02.73
ISRAEL.
00:41:02.73\00:41:04.43
NUMBERS 11:17, GOD SAYS, "I WILL
COME DOWN AND TALK TO THEE THERE
00:41:04.43\00:41:09.26
AND I WILL TAKE OF THE SPIRIT
THAT IS UPON THEE AND I WILL PUT
00:41:09.26\00:41:12.96
IT UPON THEM."
00:41:12.96\00:41:15.40
AND SO, THE LORD SAID TO MOSES,
"LOOK, YOU CAN'T JUDGE THESE
00:41:15.40\00:41:18.43
PEOPLE BY YOURSELF.
00:41:18.43\00:41:19.83
YOU NEED TO DELEGATE.
00:41:19.83\00:41:20.86
YOU NEED TO TRAIN.
00:41:20.86\00:41:21.93
YOU NEED TO EMPOWER OTHERS
AND DISCIPLE THEM SO THAT THEY
00:41:21.93\00:41:24.40
CAN LEAD THE PEOPLE AS WELL."
00:41:24.40\00:41:26.66
SO NOT ONLY DID THEY HAVE THE
12 PRINCES OF ISRAEL, THEY THEN
00:41:26.66\00:41:29.70
HAD 70 ELDERS AMONG THEM.
00:41:29.70\00:41:32.10
AND GOD SAID, "I'LL TAKE OF YOUR
SPIRIT AND PUT IT UPON THEM."
00:41:32.10\00:41:35.46
WELL, DO YOU FIND
THAT HAPPENING WITH JESUS?
00:41:35.46\00:41:39.16
JOHN 15:26, "BUT WHEN THE
COMFORTER IS COME WHO I WILL
00:41:39.16\00:41:44.90
SEND TO YOU IN THE FATHER'S
NAME, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH
00:41:44.90\00:41:48.26
WHICH PROCEEDS FROM THE
FATHER HE WILL TESTIFY OF ME."
00:41:48.26\00:41:53.10
AND CHRIST SAID HE WOULD
SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ACTS 2,
00:41:53.10\00:41:56.46
WHEN THEY ALL GATHER TOGETHER IN
ONE PLACE OF ONE ACCORD, HE SENT
00:41:56.46\00:42:00.26
THE SPIRIT, THAT
SPIRIT OF CHRIST.
00:42:00.26\00:42:04.06
THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, "YOU
KNOW, I CAN BE WITH YOU, BUT HE
00:42:04.06\00:42:06.73
WILL BE IN YOU AND I WILL
BE WITH YOU ALWAYS 'TIL THE END
00:42:06.73\00:42:10.23
THROUGH THE SPIRIT."
00:42:10.23\00:42:12.00
IS CHRIST HERE
WITH US RIGHT NOW?
00:42:12.00\00:42:13.90
IN PERSON OR PHYSICALLY HE'S
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER,
00:42:13.90\00:42:16.90
RIGHT?
00:42:16.90\00:42:18.06
BUT THROUGH HIS SPIRIT,
HE'S WITH EACH ONE OF US.
00:42:18.06\00:42:21.13
SO, THE SAME WAY THAT GOD TOOK
OF THE SPIRIT OF MOSES AND PUT
00:42:21.13\00:42:24.06
IT ON THE 70 ELDERS, HE TOOK OF
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST AND PUT IT
00:42:24.06\00:42:28.10
ON THE APOSTLES
AND THE DISCIPLES.
00:42:28.10\00:42:31.16
AND DOES HE STILL DO THAT TODAY?
00:42:31.16\00:42:36.80
HE DELIVERED GOD'S
PEOPLE FROM SLAVERY.
00:42:36.80\00:42:39.86
LUKE 4:18, JESUS WHEN HE BEGAN
HIS MINISTRY, HE STOOD UP AND HE
00:42:39.86\00:42:45.83
SAID, "BEHOLD, THE SPIRIT OF THE
LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE'S
00:42:45.83\00:42:49.50
ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL
TO THE POOR; HE SENT ME TO HEAL
00:42:49.50\00:42:52.83
THE BROKENHEARTED," AND HE SAYS,
"TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE
00:42:52.83\00:42:57.26
CAPTIVES."
00:42:57.26\00:42:58.26
DOES ANYONE HERE NEED FOR ME
TO RECITE TO THEM THE BOOK OF
00:42:58.26\00:43:01.00
EXODUS WHERE MOSES LED THE
PEOPLE OUT OF CAPTIVITY INTO
00:43:01.00\00:43:06.30
THE PROMISED LAND?
00:43:06.30\00:43:08.36
ISN'T JESUS OUR MOSES THAT LEADS
US FROM THE CAPTIVITY OF SERVING
00:43:08.36\00:43:12.06
THE DEVIL LIKE THAT PHARAOH,
OUT OF THAT SLAVERY INTO
00:43:12.06\00:43:16.30
THE PROMISED LAND?
00:43:16.30\00:43:17.93
IS IT A REAL EVENT OF HISTORY
THAT MOSES LED THOSE PEOPLE FROM
00:43:17.93\00:43:22.76
EGYPT TO THE PROMISED LAND?
00:43:22.76\00:43:26.36
ARE THERE PEOPLE CALLED
JEWS IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:43:26.36\00:43:28.66
IS THERE A LAND
CALLED THE "PROMISED LAND"?
00:43:28.66\00:43:30.43
IS THERE A LAND CALLED "EGYPT"?
00:43:30.43\00:43:32.16
DOES ANYONE CONTEST
THAT MOSES REALLY LIVED?
00:43:32.16\00:43:36.56
AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
HISTORY BOOK AND YOU LOOK IN,
00:43:36.56\00:43:38.86
YOU KNOW, GENESIS, EXODUS,
LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, DEUTERONOMY
00:43:38.86\00:43:42.43
AND YOU SEE SO MUCH OF
JESUS IN THE LIFE OF MOSES,
00:43:42.43\00:43:46.40
AND THEN YOU GO OVER
HERE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:43:46.40\00:43:48.33
AND YOU BEGIN TO WONDER, "I
WONDER IF JESUS REALLY LIVED,"
00:43:48.33\00:43:51.20
HOW CAN YOU EVER WONDER THAT
WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE PARALLELS
00:43:51.20\00:43:55.00
THAT HAVE BEEN--SO
MANY PEOPLE MISS IT.
00:43:55.00\00:43:58.90
IT'S SO REAL.
00:43:58.90\00:44:00.80
NOW, WE'RE NOT DONE YET.
00:44:00.80\00:44:02.60
CHRIST WAS A GREAT SAVIOR.
00:44:02.60\00:44:04.33
MOSES WAS A GREAT SAVIOR.
00:44:04.33\00:44:05.93
DID BOTH BUILD A TEMPLE?
00:44:05.93\00:44:09.56
YEAH, THEY DID.
00:44:09.56\00:44:11.50
EXODUS 25:9, GOD TOLD MOSES ON
THE MOUNTAIN, "ACCORDING TO ALL
00:44:11.50\00:44:16.06
THAT I SHOW YOU, THAT IS IN
THE PATTERN OF THE TABERNACLE
00:44:16.06\00:44:18.96
AND THE PATTERN OF ALL OF
ITS FURNISHINGS, SO YOU SHALL
00:44:18.96\00:44:21.76
MAKE IT."
00:44:21.76\00:44:22.80
AND WE ALL KNOW THAT MOSES BUILT
THAT FIRST TABERNACLE, THE FIRST
00:44:22.80\00:44:25.80
SANCTUARY, GOING
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS.
00:44:25.80\00:44:28.90
WHAT ABOUT JESUS?
00:44:28.90\00:44:30.73
WAS HE A TEMPLE BUILDER TOO?
00:44:30.73\00:44:33.60
CHRIST SAYS IN JOHN 2:19,
"DESTROY THIS TEMPLE AND IN
00:44:33.60\00:44:38.33
3 DAYS, I WILL RAISE IT UP."
00:44:38.33\00:44:40.33
AS A MATTER OF FACT, AT THE
TRIAL OF CHRIST, THEY ONLY FOUND
00:44:40.33\00:44:43.26
TWO WITNESSES THAT
WOULD AGREE WITH EACH OTHER.
00:44:43.26\00:44:46.26
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAID?
00:44:46.26\00:44:47.56
"WE HEARD THIS MAN SAY, 'DESTROY
THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS AND
00:44:47.56\00:44:50.46
IN 3 DAYS, I'LL MAKE
ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT HANDS.'"
00:44:50.46\00:44:53.20
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US, "WHAT?
00:44:53.20\00:44:55.13
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE
THE TEMPLE OF GOD, THAT YOU ARE
00:44:55.13\00:44:58.46
LIVING STONES, THAT YOU
ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD."
00:44:58.46\00:45:01.20
THAT JESUS BUILT A TEMPLE AND
MOSES BUILT A TEMPLE, ALL THESE
00:45:01.20\00:45:05.50
TREMENDOUS PARALLELS.
00:45:05.50\00:45:08.80
AND THEN, BOTH WERE RESURRECTED.
00:45:08.80\00:45:11.70
NOW THIS ONE, YOU'VE GOT TO STAY
WITH ME 'CAUSE IT TAKES A LITTLE
00:45:11.70\00:45:16.20
MORE TO PROVE.
00:45:16.20\00:45:18.26
1 CORINTHIANS 15:4, "AND THAT
CHRIST WAS BURIED, THAT HE ROSE
00:45:18.26\00:45:23.96
AGAIN THE THIRD DAY
ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES."
00:45:23.96\00:45:26.36
EVERYBODY KNOWS
JESUS DIED AND HE ROSE.
00:45:26.36\00:45:28.76
AND WHERE IS HE NOW?
00:45:28.76\00:45:30.16
HE'S IN HEAVEN.
00:45:30.16\00:45:31.30
WHAT ABOUT MOSES?
00:45:31.30\00:45:33.76
IF YOU READ THERE IN
JUDE 1, ONLY ONE CHAPTER,
00:45:33.76\00:45:37.20
VERSE 9, "YET MICHAEL THE
ARCHANGEL, WHEN CONTENDING WITH
00:45:37.20\00:45:41.50
THE DEVIL, HE DISPUTED ABOUT
THE BODY OF MOSES, HE DAREST NOT
00:45:41.50\00:45:46.00
BRING AGAINST HIM A RAILING
ACCUSATION, BUT SAID, 'THE LORD
00:45:46.00\00:45:48.33
REBUKE THEE!'" NOW,
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
00:45:48.33\00:45:51.43
THIS IS SORT OF A CRYPTIC
STATEMENT AND A LOT OF SCHOLARS
00:45:51.43\00:45:54.80
HAVE LABORED OVER THIS.
00:45:54.80\00:45:55.90
I WAS POURING OVER THE SCHOLARS
LAST NIGHT AND LEARNING A LOT OF
00:45:55.90\00:45:58.50
INTERESTING
THINGS ABOUT THIS VERSE.
00:45:58.50\00:46:01.46
THE MOST REASONABLE EXPLANATION
IS THAT AFTER MOSES DIED,
00:46:01.46\00:46:08.63
FOR ONE THING, HE DIDN'T WANT
THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL TO MAKE
00:46:08.63\00:46:12.40
A SHRINE TO MOSES
AND TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:46:12.40\00:46:14.83
THAT'S THE LAST
THING MOSES WANTED.
00:46:14.83\00:46:16.06
IT'S THE LAST
THING THE LORD WANTED.
00:46:16.06\00:46:18.03
AND SO, GOD TOOK HIM UP TO
HEAVEN FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
00:46:18.03\00:46:21.63
ONE IS MOSES DIED BEFORE HE GOT
TO SEE THE CHILDREN CROSS OVER.
00:46:21.63\00:46:26.06
THE HEARTACHE OF HIS LIFE WAS
BECAUSE OF HIS FINAL SIN, HE WAS
00:46:26.06\00:46:29.10
NOT ALLOWED TO LEAD
THEM INTO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:46:29.10\00:46:31.83
HE GOT TO SEE THE LAND
FROM A DISTANCE, BUT GOD WENT
00:46:31.83\00:46:34.33
ONE BETTER THAN THAT.
00:46:34.33\00:46:35.50
HE TOOK MOSES UP TO HEAVEN SO
THAT HE COULD SEE THE CHILDREN
00:46:35.50\00:46:38.90
OF ISRAEL CROSS OVER.
00:46:38.90\00:46:40.43
"NOW, HOW DO YOU
KNOW THAT, PASTOR DOUG?"
00:46:40.43\00:46:44.13
WELL, IF YOU GO TO MARK 9
WHEN CHRIST HAS THE VISION ON
00:46:44.13\00:46:46.70
THE MOUNTAINTOP,
HE'S TALKING TO MOSES.
00:46:46.70\00:46:48.56
HE'S NOT TALKING TO
SOME DISEMBODIED SPIRIT.
00:46:48.56\00:46:51.33
HE'S TALKING TO MOSES.
00:46:51.33\00:46:52.93
AND MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL DOES
NOT COME BACK TO THE GRAVE OF
00:46:52.93\00:46:56.26
MOSES SO THAT HE CAN COLLECT
THE CORPSE OF MOSES AND PUT IT
00:46:56.26\00:46:59.10
IN SOME HEAVENLY MORGUE
TO KEEP IT FROM DECOMPOSING.
00:46:59.10\00:47:02.63
WHENEVER GOD COMES FOR A BODY IN
THE BIBLE, IT'S A RESURRECTION.
00:47:02.63\00:47:06.56
WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
HE COMES DOWN AND THESE GRAVES
00:47:06.56\00:47:09.40
ARE MARKED IN THE LAST DAYS,
THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE.
00:47:09.40\00:47:12.23
HE'S NOT RAISING THE OLD BODIES.
00:47:12.23\00:47:14.00
HE'S RAISING THEM TO NEW LIFE.
00:47:14.00\00:47:17.20
BUT IT DOES SEEM HE GOES BACK
TO WHERE THEY WERE LAST LAID
00:47:17.20\00:47:19.53
TO REST.
00:47:19.53\00:47:21.16
AND SO, THIS IS NOT IN THE BIBLE
BUT THERE'S A MISSING--IT'S NOT
00:47:21.16\00:47:26.73
A MISSING BOOK,
IT'S A MYSTERIOUS BOOK.
00:47:26.73\00:47:30.13
JUDE EVIDENTLY IS QUOTING FROM
A BOOK THAT NO LONGER EXISTS
00:47:30.13\00:47:33.70
THAT WAS IN JEWISH HISTORY.
00:47:33.70\00:47:36.53
IT WAS CALLED "THE
ASSUMPTION OF MOSES."
00:47:36.53\00:47:38.76
ORIGEN, ONE OF THE EARLY CHURCH
FATHERS, QUOTES FROM THIS BOOK.
00:47:38.76\00:47:43.16
AND THE TRADITION IN THIS BOOK
THAT ORIGEN REFERS TO IS THAT
00:47:43.16\00:47:45.93
THE THIRD DAY AFTER MOSES
DIED BEFORE HE WOULD DECOMPOSE,
00:47:45.93\00:47:51.00
GOD SENT MICHAEL THE
ARCHANGEL TO RAISE HIM.
00:47:51.00\00:47:55.83
AND THIS WHOLE DIALOGUE BETWEEN
THE DEVIL SAYING, "NO, YOU CAN'T
00:47:55.83\00:47:58.50
HAVE HIM BECAUSE
HE SINNED AT THE END."
00:47:58.50\00:48:01.03
AND MICHAEL SAID,
"THE LORD REBUKE THEE!"
00:48:01.03\00:48:03.53
AND HE TAKES MOSES
AND RESURRECTS HIM.
00:48:03.53\00:48:06.63
THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, BUT
JUDE REFERS TO IT SO IT'S A BOOK
00:48:06.63\00:48:09.63
THAT MUST'VE EXISTED.
00:48:09.63\00:48:11.20
HE REFERS TO IT AS THOUGH THE
LISTENERS KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING
00:48:11.20\00:48:13.23
ABOUT, BUT IT'S ONE OF
THESE LOST BOOKS CALLED "THE
00:48:13.23\00:48:18.10
ASSUMPTION OF MOSES" THAT
YOU JUST CAN'T FIND ANYMORE.
00:48:18.10\00:48:20.63
ANYWAY, WE KNOW THAT
MOSES IS IN HEAVEN NOW, RIGHT?
00:48:20.63\00:48:24.83
WELL, WE DO KNOW
MOSES DIED, JESUS DIED.
00:48:24.83\00:48:28.96
MOSES WAS RAISED.
00:48:28.96\00:48:29.83
HE'S IN HEAVEN NOW.
00:48:29.83\00:48:30.83
JESUS WAS RAISED.
00:48:30.83\00:48:32.53
THEY'RE BOTH IN HEAVEN NOW.
00:48:32.53\00:48:34.50
JESUS, IT WAS 3 DAYS LATER.
00:48:34.50\00:48:36.26
ONE DEPENDABLE TRADITION
TELLS US IT WAS 3 DAYS LATER.
00:48:36.26\00:48:40.86
WHY WAIT LONGER?
00:48:40.86\00:48:43.10
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO RAISE MOSES
IN TIME TO SEE THE CHILDREN OF
00:48:43.10\00:48:45.16
ISRAEL CROSS OVER?
00:48:45.16\00:48:47.03
I THINK SO.
00:48:47.03\00:48:49.20
NOW, THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
POINT AND THIS'LL BE MY FINAL
00:48:49.20\00:48:53.06
MAIN POINT HERE.
00:48:53.06\00:48:55.90
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS WERE
WILLING TO LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES
00:48:55.90\00:48:59.33
SO THEIR PEOPLE MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:48:59.33\00:49:00.93
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
SINNED WITH THE GOLDEN CALF, GOD
00:49:00.93\00:49:04.93
SAID, "GET OUT OF MY WAY, MOSES,
I'M GOING TO ROLL UP MY SLEEVES,
00:49:04.93\00:49:07.30
I'M GOING TO WIPE THEM OUT.
00:49:07.30\00:49:08.66
I'LL MAKE A
GREAT NATION OF YOU."
00:49:08.66\00:49:10.90
AND MOSES--NOW,
THAT'D BE PRETTY FLATTERING.
00:49:10.90\00:49:13.43
YOU KNOW, IF GOD TOLD ME,
"DOUG, THOSE PEOPLE AT CENTRAL
00:49:13.43\00:49:15.40
CHURCH, THEY'RE SO DIFFICULT.
00:49:15.40\00:49:16.66
TELL YOU WHAT, I'M GOING TO
VAPORIZE 'EM ALL SOME SABBATH
00:49:16.66\00:49:18.93
MORNING.
00:49:18.93\00:49:19.66
YOU MAKE SURE YOU'RE
ON VACATION THAT DAY.
00:49:19.66\00:49:21.26
I'LL RAISE UP A NEW
CHURCH IN YOUR NAME."
00:49:21.26\00:49:23.80
I WOULDN'T WANT 'EM TO DO THAT.
00:49:23.80\00:49:25.93
BUT I'D PROBABLY THINK ABOUT IT.
00:49:25.93\00:49:30.23
MOSES DIDN'T
EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
00:49:30.23\00:49:32.93
HE SAID, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO
MAKE A NATION OUT OF ME, LORD."
00:49:32.93\00:49:35.56
HE SAID, "I'M WILLING TO
HAVE YOU TAKE MY NAME OUT OF
00:49:35.56\00:49:38.10
THE BOOK OF LIFE.
00:49:38.10\00:49:39.83
BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO
YOUR NAME AND WHAT ABOUT
00:49:39.83\00:49:41.20
YOUR PEOPLE?"
00:49:41.20\00:49:42.23
HE LOVED THE PEOPLE LIKE
A SHEPHERD LOVES THE SHEEP.
00:49:42.23\00:49:45.63
IT SAYS HERE IN EXODUS 32:32,
"YET NOW IF YOU WILL FORGIVE
00:49:45.63\00:49:52.10
THEIR SIN, BUT IF NOT I
PRAY BLOT ME OUT OF YOUR BOOK
00:49:52.10\00:49:57.60
WHICH YOU HAVE WRITTEN."
00:49:57.60\00:49:58.90
WHAT BOOK IS THAT?
00:49:58.90\00:50:00.13
IT'S THE BOOK OF LIFE.
00:50:00.13\00:50:02.26
MOSES WAS WILLING TO LAY HIS
LIFE DOWN TO SAVE GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:50:02.26\00:50:07.46
WHO IS HE A TYPE OF THERE?
00:50:07.46\00:50:09.93
JESUS.
00:50:09.93\00:50:11.36
MATTHEW 20:28, "EVEN AS THE
SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO MINISTER,
00:50:11.36\00:50:15.86
TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT
TO MINISTER AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE
00:50:15.86\00:50:20.63
A RANSOM FOR MANY."
00:50:20.63\00:50:23.46
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS WERE
MEDIATORS FOR GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:50:23.46\00:50:28.86
THEY WERE INTERCESSORS.
00:50:28.86\00:50:30.06
THEY INTERCEDED TO SAVE OTHERS.
00:50:30.06\00:50:33.06
READ THAT GREAT
PRAYER THERE IN JOHN 17.
00:50:33.06\00:50:36.50
MOSES AND JESUS WERE LAWGIVERS,
JUDGES, PRIESTS, KINGS,
00:50:36.50\00:50:39.96
AND PROPHETS, BOTH OF THEM.
00:50:39.96\00:50:46.40
QUICK REVIEW: JESUS AND
MOSES BOTH BORN AS HEBREWS.
00:50:46.40\00:50:51.90
NOT PRIESTS BY BIRTH,
BUT SERVED AS PRIESTS.
00:50:51.90\00:50:56.40
ISN'T CHRIST OUR MELCHIZEDEK?
00:50:56.40\00:50:58.03
DIDN'T MOSES END UP SERVING
AS A PRIEST AND AN INTERCESSOR?
00:50:58.03\00:51:01.16
HE OFFERED
SACRIFICE FOR THE PEOPLE.
00:51:01.16\00:51:03.33
BOTH CHOSEN BY GOD
TO LEAD THE PEOPLE.
00:51:03.33\00:51:05.70
COMMUNICATED DIRECTLY WITH GOD.
00:51:05.70\00:51:07.93
BOTH MOSES AND JESUS WERE
NOT LIKED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT
00:51:07.93\00:51:12.10
AND OFTEN THREATENED WITH
STONING BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
00:51:12.10\00:51:15.90
BOTH WERE LAWGIVERS.
00:51:15.90\00:51:17.46
BOTH FOUNDED A NEW RELIGION.
00:51:17.46\00:51:20.13
HAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT
MISUNDERSTOOD THEIR MISSION.
00:51:20.13\00:51:25.16
CHOSE 12 LEADERS TO
GOVERN BOTH MOSES AND JESUS.
00:51:25.16\00:51:29.40
LED THEIR PEOPLE
TO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:51:29.40\00:51:31.66
CHRIST WILL LEAD YOU
TO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:51:31.66\00:51:33.33
CHOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE TO
CARRY FORWARD; CHRIST APPOINTED
00:51:33.33\00:51:37.30
THE APOSTLES TO CARRY ON ON
HIS BEHALF, MOSES CHOSE JOSHUA.
00:51:37.30\00:51:41.56
TAUGHT OTHERS HOW TO PRAY.
00:51:41.56\00:51:43.36
CHOSE A LIFE OF HARDSHIP.
00:51:43.36\00:51:45.46
THEY ARE--MOSES IS THE DOMINANT
PERSON IN THE TORAH OR THE LAW.
00:51:45.46\00:51:50.13
CHRIST IS THE
DOMINANT PERSON IN THE GOSPELS.
00:51:50.13\00:51:52.83
FOLLOWERS STRAYED FROM
THEIR TEACHINGS IN BOTH THE NEW
00:51:52.83\00:51:55.70
AND THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:51:55.70\00:51:57.53
REVISED AN EXISTING RELIGION.
00:51:57.53\00:52:00.90
CHRIST REVISED AN
EXISTING RELIGION.
00:52:00.90\00:52:03.80
THEY BROUGHT REVIVAL.
00:52:03.80\00:52:05.56
PROVIDED HIS PEOPLE WITH VISION
AND IDENTITY, BOTH OF THEM.
00:52:05.56\00:52:09.10
WORKED MIRACLES
AND EMPOWERED OTHERS.
00:52:09.10\00:52:12.43
YOU KNOW, I'M
GOING TO PAUSE THERE.
00:52:12.43\00:52:15.50
BUT I'D LIKE TO READ SOMETHING
TO YOU JUST BEFORE WE SING OUR
00:52:15.50\00:52:18.83
CLOSING SONG HERE.
00:52:18.83\00:52:20.40
THAT'S NOT A CUE FOR
ANYONE TO LEAVE EARLY.
00:52:20.40\00:52:21.96
I WANT YOU TO HEAR THIS.
00:52:21.96\00:52:23.30
I MAY HAVE
SHARED THIS ONCE BEFORE.
00:52:23.30\00:52:25.40
I'VE DONE SO MUCH PREACHING HERE
NOW, I FORGET WHAT I'VE SAID.
00:52:25.40\00:52:28.90
AND AS TIME GOES BY, PRETTY SOON
I'LL PROBABLY JUST STAND UP HERE
00:52:28.90\00:52:31.26
AND REPEAT MYSELF
ONE WEEK AFTER ANOTHER.
00:52:31.26\00:52:34.26
BUT THIS IS FROM THE
BOOK BY CHARLES SPURGEON.
00:52:34.26\00:52:38.60
YOU CAN ALL READ THIS ONLINE.
00:52:38.60\00:52:39.76
IT'S A MORNING AND
EVENING DEVOTIONAL.
00:52:39.76\00:52:42.30
AND IT'S UNDER THE
HEADING OF JUNE 10TH.
00:52:42.30\00:52:44.16
THE THEME IS "CHRIST IN ALL THE
SCRIPTURE, THESE ARE THEY THAT
00:52:44.16\00:52:48.36
TESTIFY OF ME," MEANING
"THE SCRIPTURES TESTIFY ME."
00:52:48.36\00:52:51.76
LISTEN, HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL WITH
HIS USE OF THE LANGUAGE HERE:
00:52:51.76\00:52:55.63
"JESUS CHRIST IS THE
ALPHA AND OMEGA OF THE BIBLE.
00:52:55.63\00:52:59.36
HE IS THE CONSTANT
THEME OF ITS SACRED PAGES.
00:52:59.36\00:53:02.96
FROM THE FIRST TO THE
LAST, THEY TESTIFY OF HIM.
00:53:02.96\00:53:05.73
AT THE CREATION, WE AT ONCE
DISCERN HIM AS THE ONE SACRED
00:53:05.73\00:53:09.06
TRINITY.
00:53:09.06\00:53:10.70
WE CATCH A GLIMPSE OF HIM IN
THE PROMISE OF THE WOMAN'S SEED.
00:53:10.70\00:53:14.20
WE SEE JESUS
TYPIFIED IN THE ARK OF NOAH.
00:53:14.20\00:53:17.06
WE WALK WITH ABRAHAM AS
HE SEES THE MESSIAH'S DAY.
00:53:17.06\00:53:20.03
WE DWELL IN THE TENTS OF ISAAC
AND JACOB WITH CHRIST, FEEDING
00:53:20.03\00:53:23.30
UPON THE GRACIOUS PROMISE.
00:53:23.30\00:53:25.03
WE HEAR THE VENERABLE ISRAEL
OR JACOB TALKING TO SHILOH.
00:53:25.03\00:53:29.30
AND IN THE NUMEROUS TYPES OF
THE LAW, WE FIND THE REDEEMER
00:53:29.30\00:53:32.70
ABUNDANTLY FORESHADOWED.
00:53:32.70\00:53:34.70
PROPHETS AND KINGS, PRIESTS
AND PREACHERS, ALL LOOK ONE WAY.
00:53:34.70\00:53:38.56
THEY ALL STAND, AS THE CHERUBS
DID OVER THE ARK, DESIRING TO
00:53:38.56\00:53:42.30
LOOK WITHIN AND TO READ
THE MYSTERY OF GOD'S GREAT
00:53:42.30\00:53:44.76
APPROPRIATION.
00:53:44.76\00:53:46.16
STILL MORE MANIFESTLY IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT, WE FIND OUR
00:53:46.16\00:53:49.03
LORD THE ONE PERVADING SUBJECT.
00:53:49.03\00:53:51.76
IT'S NOT AN INGOT HERE AND
THERE OR DUST OF GOLD THINLY
00:53:51.76\00:53:55.50
SCATTERED, BUT HERE YOU STAND
UPON A SOLID FLOOR OF GOLD.
00:53:55.50\00:53:59.53
THE WHOLE SUBSTANCE OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT IS JESUS CRUCIFIED,
00:53:59.53\00:54:03.03
EVEN ITS CLOSING SENTENCES
BEJEWELED WITH A REDEEMER'S
00:54:03.03\00:54:06.20
NAME."
00:54:06.20\00:54:07.13
"EVEN SO COME, LORD
JESUS," THE CLOSING WORDS.
00:54:07.13\00:54:09.86
"WE SHOULD ALWAYS READ
SCRIPTURE IN THIS LIGHT.
00:54:09.86\00:54:12.80
WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE WORD TO
BE AS A MIRROR INTO WHICH CHRIST
00:54:12.80\00:54:17.23
LOOKS DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND
WE LOOKING INTO IT SEE HIS FACE
00:54:17.23\00:54:21.16
REFLECTED."
00:54:21.16\00:54:22.23
LIKE THE BIBLE IS A MIRROR,
WE'RE LOOKING AT CHRIST THAT'S
00:54:22.23\00:54:24.30
UP IN HEAVEN LOOKING THROUGH
THE CLOUDS AND WE SEE HIS FACE
00:54:24.30\00:54:26.63
IN THE BIBLE.
00:54:26.63\00:54:28.20
BEAUTIFUL WORD PICTURE.
00:54:28.20\00:54:30.16
"WE SEE HIS FACE
REFLECTED AS IN A GLASS DARKLY.
00:54:30.16\00:54:34.26
IT IS TRUE, BUT STILL IN
SUCH A WAY AS TO BE A BLESSED
00:54:34.26\00:54:36.63
PREPARATION FOR SEEING HIM
AS WE WILL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE.
00:54:36.63\00:54:40.23
THIS VOLUME," THE BIBLE,
"CONTAINS JESUS CHRIST'S LETTERS
00:54:40.23\00:54:44.16
TO US, PERFUMED BY HIS LOVE.
00:54:44.16\00:54:46.46
THESE PAGES ARE THE
GARMENTS OF OUR KING.
00:54:46.46\00:54:49.53
THEY ALL SMELL OF
MYRRH AND ALOES AND CASSIA.
00:54:49.53\00:54:52.50
SCRIPTURE IS THE ROYAL CHARIOT
IN WHICH JESUS RIDES AND IT IS
00:54:52.50\00:54:57.13
PAVED WITH LOVE FOR
THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM.
00:54:57.13\00:55:00.13
THE SCRIPTURES ARE THE SWADDLING
BANDS OF THE HOLY CHILD, JESUS.
00:55:00.13\00:55:04.10
UNROLL THEM AND
YOU FIND YOUR SAVIOR.
00:55:04.10\00:55:07.03
THE QUINTESSENCE OF
THE WORD OF GOD IS CHRIST."
00:55:07.03\00:55:11.06
WOO!
00:55:11.06\00:55:12.56
I'VE GOT GOOSE BUMPS.
00:55:12.56\00:55:15.63
I DON'T KNOW IF IT DOES FOR YOU
WHAT IT DOES FOR ME, BUT THAT
00:55:15.63\00:55:17.93
JUST REALLY SAYS IT.
00:55:17.93\00:55:18.96
THAT SUMS IT UP.
00:55:18.96\00:55:20.23
CHRIST OUGHT TO STRENGTHEN YOUR
FAITH AS YOU LOOK AND SEE THAT
00:55:20.23\00:55:24.46
HE'S EVERYWHERE REFLECTED.
00:55:24.46\00:55:28.10
IT'S LIKE THE BIBLE IS--IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT, IT'S JESUS
00:55:28.10\00:55:33.63
WEARING SEQUINS AND EACH
ONE IS A MIRROR OF CHRIST.
00:55:33.63\00:55:39.53
ALL THESE CHARACTERS AND YOU PUT
THEM TOGETHER AND YOU SEE JESUS.
00:55:39.53\00:55:42.60
AND YET, WE
NEGLECT THE BIBLE SO MUCH.
00:55:42.60\00:55:45.66
YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN HIM THE
WAY YOU WANT TO KNOW HIM THROUGH
00:55:45.66\00:55:51.66
THE LITTLE BIT YOU'RE
DOING AND READING AND PRAYING.
00:55:51.66\00:55:54.30
BUT MAYBE YOU CAN GET TO KNOW
HIM BETTER FROM THOSE WHO KNEW
00:55:54.30\00:55:58.50
HIM, AND I HOPE YOU'LL MAKE
FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE LIKE ABRAHAM
00:55:58.50\00:56:02.70
AND NOAH AND JOSEPH AND MOSES
AND YOU'LL GET TO KNOW JESUS
00:56:02.70\00:56:06.33
BETTER.
00:56:06.33\00:56:07.76
IS THAT YOUR DESIRE?
00:56:07.76\00:56:08.93
THE BIBLE IS THE STORY OF JESUS.
00:56:08.93\00:56:11.30
YOU SEE IT NOW?
00:56:11.30\00:56:12.40
IT DOESN'T START WITH MATTHEW.
00:56:12.40\00:56:14.03
IT STARTS IN GENESIS.
00:56:14.03\00:56:16.10
IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS.
00:56:16.10\00:56:18.43
YOU THINK THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GET
TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BETTER AND
00:56:18.43\00:56:22.00
LOVE HIM BETTER
AND SERVE HIM BETTER?
00:56:22.00\00:56:24.83
HE'S GOT A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
00:56:24.83\00:56:26.63
IF HE KNEW EVERY DETAIL OF
MOSES' LIFE AND HE WAS ABLE
00:56:26.63\00:56:29.40
THROUGH PROVIDENCE TO ORGANIZE
MOSES' LIFE SO IT WOULD SOMEDAY
00:56:29.40\00:56:33.40
REFLECT HIS OWN, CAN GOD
ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE SO IT WILL
00:56:33.40\00:56:37.40
REFLECT HIS TOO?
00:56:37.40\00:56:39.70
JUST GIVE YOURSELF
TO HIM AND HE'LL DO IT.
