>>THE MESSAGE TODAY IS
WHERE IS THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD?
00:01:54.68\00:02:00.82
BUT I THINK IT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT BIBLE STUDY THAT, ONCE
00:02:00.82\00:02:04.95
WE UNDERSTAND THESE THEMES, A
LOT OF THE BIBLE BEGINS TO MAKE
00:02:04.95\00:02:09.19
MORE SENSE. YOU
KNOW, I DO AMAZING FACTS
00:02:09.19\00:02:13.53
EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND ONE
LOCATION IN THE WORLD I'D LIKE
00:02:13.53\00:02:16.93
TO SEE - I'VE NOT BEEN TO,
IS IN THAILAND, AND THERE IS AN
00:02:16.93\00:02:21.67
ANCIENT CITY THERE CALLED ANGKOR
WAT. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF
00:02:21.67\00:02:27.61
YOU HAVE EVER BEEN
THERE. IT'S IN CAMBODIA.
00:02:27.61\00:02:31.08
IT'S THE LARGEST
RELIGIOUS SITE IN THE WORLD.
00:02:31.08\00:02:35.25
IT COMPOSES
ABOUT 240 SQUARE MILES.
00:02:35.25\00:02:40.09
AT ONE TIME, IT WAS THE
LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD.
00:02:40.09\00:02:44.49
IN THE MIDDLE OF IT,
THERE'S ABOUT 500 ACRES THAT ARE
00:02:44.49\00:02:48.43
DEDICATED TO A TEMPLE AND IT'S
CONSIDERED ONE OF THE WONDERS -
00:02:48.43\00:02:54.30
YOU CAN'T SAY REALLY ANCIENT
WORLD, BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.64
ABOUT 900 YEARS AGO.
FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS IT WAS
00:02:56.64\00:03:01.48
PRETTY WELL UNKNOWN TO WESTERN
CIVILIZATION, BUT THEN IN, OH,
00:03:01.48\00:03:06.85
ABOUT 1859 A GENTLEMAN BY THE
NAME OF HENRI MOUHOT, A FRENCH
00:03:06.85\00:03:13.82
EXPLORER, WHILE TRAVELING UP THE
TRIBUTARIES OF THE MEKONG RIVER
00:03:13.82\00:03:17.46
IN SIAM, THAILAND, CAMBODIA,
HE CAME UPON THE RUINS.
00:03:17.46\00:03:20.96
NOW THEY WEREN'T LOST OR
ANYTHING, THE PEOPLE THERE ALL
00:03:20.96\00:03:22.83
KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT IT WAS
VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN TO THE WESTERN
00:03:22.83\00:03:26.07
WORLD. AND WHEN
HE SAW THE CENTRAL
00:03:26.07\00:03:29.60
TEMPLE WITH A SPIRE OVER
200 FEET TALL NESTLED AMONG FOUR
00:03:29.60\00:03:35.14
OTHER SPIRES, HE USED THESE
WORDS: HE SAID, "ONE OF THESE
00:03:35.14\00:03:42.25
TEMPLES, A RIVAL TO THAT
OF SOLOMON'S, WAS ERECTED BY
00:03:42.25\00:03:46.09
SOME ANCIENT MICHELANGELO.
IT MIGHT TAKE AN HONORABLE PLACE
00:03:46.09\00:03:50.29
BESIDES OUR MOST
BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS.
00:03:50.29\00:03:52.46
IT IS GRANDER THAN ANYTHING
LEFT TO US BY GREECE OR ROME AND
00:03:52.46\00:03:56.50
PRESENTS A SAD CONTRAST TO THE
STATE OF BARBARISM, WHICH THE
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.24
NATION IS NOW PLUNGED." -
WHEN HE WAS THERE, THEY WERE
00:04:00.24\00:04:02.74
PLUNGED INTO WAR AND THINGS
WERE LOOKING PRETTY PRIMITIVE.
00:04:02.74\00:04:06.71
BUT HE COULD SEE THAT A VERY
SOPHISTICATED CIVILIZATION HAD
00:04:06.71\00:04:10.01
BUILT THIS GREAT CITY WITH
A CENTRAL TEMPLE - HAD A MOAT
00:04:10.01\00:04:15.95
THREE MILES LONG, 600 FEET
ACROSS THE MOAT, AND THEY, BY
00:04:15.95\00:04:21.29
HAND, DUG IT 13-FEET DEEP
OUT THERE IN THE JUNGLE WHERE
00:04:21.29\00:04:25.96
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
RAIN, A LOT OF RIVERS TO HELP
00:04:25.96\00:04:28.63
STABILIZE EVERYTHING.
MORE STONES WENT INTO BUILDING
00:04:28.63\00:04:32.33
ANGKOR WAT THAN WENT
INTO BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS.
00:04:32.33\00:04:36.20
I THINK IT WAS 500
MILLION TONS OF STONE.
00:04:36.20\00:04:40.74
AND THEY HAD TO TRANSPORT THE
STONE 25 MILES FROM ITS LOCATION
00:04:40.74\00:04:46.08
- NO, IT'S FIVE MILLION TONS
- SORRY, FIVE MILLION TONS WORTH
00:04:46.08\00:04:48.95
OF STONE. THEY HAD TO TRANSPORT
00:04:48.95\00:04:50.25
IT 25 MILES. THAT'S
AN INCREDIBLE THING.
00:04:50.25\00:04:54.42
ONE OF THE THINGS ON MY BUCKET
LIST, SOMEDAY, IS TO GO TO
00:04:54.42\00:04:58.69
CAMBODIA THERE AND
SEE THAT INCREDIBLE SIGHT.
00:04:58.69\00:05:02.80
THE WORD 'ANGKOR WAT' ACTUALLY
MEANS 'CITY OF TEMPLES' - CITY
00:05:02.80\00:05:07.84
OF TEMPLES. AND, YOU
KNOW, TECHNICALLY, THE
00:05:07.84\00:05:11.04
BIBLE IS A BOOK OF TEMPLES.
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BIBLE
00:05:11.04\00:05:16.51
YOU'LL FIND REFERENCE TO THE
TEMPLE OF GOD AND OTHER TEMPLES.
00:05:16.51\00:05:21.05
IT TALKS ABOUT THE TEMPLE OF
DAGON AND THE DIFFERENT PAGAN
00:05:21.05\00:05:23.95
TEMPLES, BUT THE BIBLE
TALKS A LOT ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF
00:05:23.95\00:05:28.09
THE TEMPLE. AND I
REALIZED, WHEN I HAD -
00:05:28.09\00:05:32.09
WHEN I FELT IMPRESSED TO SHARE
THIS WITH YOU - IT'S GOING TO
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.83
TAKE MORE THAN I'LL BE ABLE
TO COVER IN ONE PRESENTATION.
00:05:34.83\00:05:38.23
YOU FIND THE WORD 'TEMPLE' -
FOUND 455 TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:38.23\00:05:43.30
NOW, THAT'S NOT THE
ONLY WORD USED FOR TEMPLE.
00:05:43.30\00:05:46.14
SOMETIMES IT'S USED
AS THE WORD 'SANCTUARY'.
00:05:46.14\00:05:49.78
YOU FIND THE WORD 'SANCTUARY'
AN ADDITIONAL 174 TIMES IN THE
00:05:49.78\00:05:54.35
BIBLE. 'HOUSE OF
GOD' IS MENTIONED 92
00:05:54.35\00:05:59.75
TIMES IN THE BIBLE, 'THE
LORD'S HOUSE' 24 TIMES, AND
00:05:59.75\00:06:02.79
'TABERNACLE' 357 TIMES. AND
SO, THERE ARE OVER A THOUSAND
00:06:02.79\00:06:07.20
REFERENCES TO THE TEMPLE
OF THE LORD IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:07.20\00:06:11.13
AND SO, I THOUGHT MAYBE THIS IS
SOMETHING WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT.
00:06:11.13\00:06:13.77
JESUS TALKED ABOUT IT.
00:06:13.77\00:06:15.37
NOW THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND A REFERENCE TO THE
00:06:15.37\00:06:19.07
TEMPLE OF GOD IS IN
THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
00:06:19.07\00:06:22.08
DOESN'T REALLY USE THE WORD
'TEMPLE' - CALLS IT THE 'HOUSE
00:06:22.08\00:06:24.55
OF GOD' - AND YOU CAN SEE HERE
IN GENESIS 28, VERSE 16, THE
00:06:24.55\00:06:29.92
HOUSE OF GOD IS FIRST MENTIONED
WHEN JACOB IS RUNNING FROM HIS
00:06:29.92\00:06:33.52
BROTHER'S WRATH - HE'S SLEEPING
OUT ON THE FIELD BY HIMSELF - HE
00:06:33.52\00:06:38.39
DREAMS OF THIS LADDER - THIS
ESCALATOR - A HEAVENLY BRIDGE
00:06:38.39\00:06:43.77
THAT CONNECTS THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:06:43.77\00:06:46.63
AND ON THIS ESCALATOR HE
SEES ANGELS GOING UP AND DOWN,
00:06:46.63\00:06:51.47
BRINGING UP PRAYER REQUESTS AND
BRINGING DOWN POWER AND ANSWERS.
00:06:51.47\00:06:55.91
AND WHEN HE WAKES UP AND
REALIZES ABOUT THE DREAM THAT
00:06:55.91\00:06:59.25
HE'S HAD - IT SAYS IN GENESIS
28:16, "THEN JACOB AWOKE FROM
00:06:59.25\00:07:03.22
HIS SLEEP AND SAID, 'SURELY THE
LORD IS IN THIS PLACE, AND I DID
00:07:03.22\00:07:06.92
NOT KNOW IT.' AND HE WAS AFRAID
AND SAID, 'HOW AWESOME IS THIS
00:07:06.92\00:07:10.73
PLACE!'" - PEOPLE OVERUSE
THE WORD 'AWESOME' TODAY, RIGHT?
00:07:10.73\00:07:14.23
EVERYTHING'S AWESOME - 'OH
MAN, THAT SODA WAS AWESOME.'
00:07:14.23\00:07:16.50
I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S AWESOME
WITH THE KIDS TODAY AND THE WORD
00:07:16.50\00:07:19.07
SORT OF LOSES ITS
IMPACT. BUT AWESOME IS SOMETHING
00:07:19.07\00:07:23.04
THAT INSPIRES REVERENCE.
AND HE SAID THIS IS A PLACE
00:07:23.04\00:07:27.64
THAT SHOULD INSPIRE REVERENCE
- "'THIS IS NONE OTHER THAN THE
00:07:27.64\00:07:31.75
HOUSE OF GOD, AND THIS
IS THE GATE OF HEAVEN!'"
00:07:31.75\00:07:36.79
MEN HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED 'ARE
THERE PLACES HOLIER THAN OTHER
00:07:36.79\00:07:39.52
PLACES, WHERE YOU COULD
SOMEHOW COMMUNICATE WITH HEAVEN?
00:07:39.52\00:07:42.76
AND PEOPLE HAVE GONE ON GREAT
PILGRIMAGES TO WHAT THEY THINK
00:07:42.76\00:07:46.26
ARE HOLY PLACES WHERE YOU
COULD GET CLOSER TO HEAVEN.
00:07:46.26\00:07:49.26
AND, OSTENSIBLY, THIS IS
THE REASON SOME PEOPLE CLIMB
00:07:49.26\00:07:52.73
MOUNTAINS, SO THEY COULD
GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO HEAVEN.
00:07:52.73\00:07:55.94
AND IT IS TRUE THAT ON THE
TOP OF MOUNTAINS, SPECIAL THINGS
00:07:55.94\00:07:59.04
HAVE HAPPENED. GOD
SPOKE TO MOSES FROM A
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.64
MOUNTAIN AND HE SPOKE TO
JESUS ON A MOUNTAINTOP WHEN
00:08:01.64\00:08:05.18
THE DISCIPLES WENT UP.
AND MANY TEMPLES ARE BUILT ON
00:08:05.18\00:08:08.65
MOUNTAINS, HOPEFULLY TO GET
A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE GLORY.
00:08:08.65\00:08:13.02
AND SO HERE HE HAS THIS DREAM,
IN THE VERY BEGINNING, OF THIS
00:08:13.02\00:08:16.16
BRIDGE CONNECTING HEAVEN AND
EARTH AND HE NAMES IT 'BETHEL'.
00:08:16.16\00:08:21.63
WHO KNOWS WHAT THE NAME
BETHEL MEANS? HOUSE OF GOD.
00:08:21.63\00:08:26.43
SO THIS IS THE FIRST PLACE
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND A REFERENCE
00:08:26.43\00:08:29.57
TO A HOUSE OF GOD - A HOLY
PLACE, SO TO SPEAK - IN THE
00:08:29.57\00:08:34.28
BIBLE, THERE IN
THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
00:08:34.28\00:08:35.91
LOTS OF REFERENCE
IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
00:08:35.91\00:08:38.15
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS THAT GOD DOES - AS HE
00:08:38.15\00:08:40.95
LEADS HIS PEOPLE OUT OF SLAVERY
IN EGYPT, HE - TO MAKE THEM
00:08:40.95\00:08:46.05
ORGANIZE AS A NEW UNIQUE PEOPLE
- YOU KNOW, UP UNTIL THE EXODUS
00:08:46.05\00:08:49.89
THEY WERE A TRIBE - A FAMILY
- BY THE TIME THEY WENT TO EGYPT
00:08:49.89\00:08:54.10
THERE WAS A FAMILY
WITH SEVENTY PEOPLE.
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.40
WHEN THEY LEFT EGYPT THERE WERE
OVER A MILLION OF THEM AND THEY
00:08:56.40\00:09:00.14
ESTABLISHED - AS A NATION
- GOD SAYS, 'I'M GIVING YOU A
00:09:00.14\00:09:03.00
CALENDAR. HERE'S
HOW YOUR CALENDAR WORKS.
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.94
THIS IS THE FIRST OF MONTHS.
HERE'S YOUR CEREMONIES IN YOUR
00:09:04.94\00:09:07.91
CALENDAR' - AND HE SAID, 'I
WANT YOU TO BUILD A PLACE OF
00:09:07.91\00:09:11.85
WORSHIP.' NOW THIS WAS AN
UNUSUAL CHALLENGE BECAUSE THEY
00:09:11.85\00:09:15.38
WERE A MOBILE NATION SO THEY
HAD TO BUILD A MOBILE TEMPLE.
00:09:15.38\00:09:19.65
AND SO YOU FIND THAT - WHAT
DID GOD ASK HIS PEOPLE TO BUILD?
00:09:19.65\00:09:23.59
YOU KNOW, I KIND OF DID THIS IN
A QUESTION/ANSWER FORMAT BECAUSE
00:09:23.59\00:09:26.09
I LIKE TEACHING SEMINARS -
EXODUS 25 - GOD SAID, 'LET THEM
00:09:26.09\00:09:30.37
MAKE ME A SANCTUARY THAT
I MIGHT DWELL AMONG THEM.
00:09:30.37\00:09:35.77
NOW, IS THERE ANY BUILDING THAT
HUMANS CAN BUILD THAT WOULD BE
00:09:35.77\00:09:38.67
ADEQUATE TO HOUSE GOD? I MEAN,
HOW BIG WOULD THAT NEED TO BE?
00:09:38.67\00:09:44.45
AND SO, WHEN GOD SAYS, 'LET THEM
MAKE ME A SANCTUARY THAT I MIGHT
00:09:44.45\00:09:47.48
DWELL AMONG THEM, WAS THE IDEA
THAT HE WAS REALLY GOING TO - I
00:09:47.48\00:09:51.69
REMEMBER AS A KID I
SAW AN UNUSUAL BUILDING.
00:09:51.69\00:09:54.39
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY
GRANDMOTHER AND I SAID, 'WHAT'S
00:09:54.39\00:09:55.99
THAT?' SHE SAID, 'WELL, THAT'S A
SYNAGOGUE.' - MY GRANDMOTHER WAS
00:09:55.99\00:09:58.09
JEWISH. I SAID, 'SYNAGOGUE?'
00:09:58.09\00:10:00.33
SHE SAID, 'THAT'S A HOUSE
OF GOD.' I GO, 'WOW, A HOUSE OF
00:10:00.33\00:10:04.63
GOD.' I THOUGHT - EVEN AS A
KID I THOUGHT, 'I DIDN'T KNOW HE
00:10:04.63\00:10:08.74
COULD FIT IN A HOUSE.' BUT I
THOUGHT - THAT REALLY IMPRESSED
00:10:08.74\00:10:12.11
ME - I THOUGHT, 'THAT'S A HOUSE
OF GOD.' HOLY PLACE - IT HAD
00:10:12.11\00:10:14.91
THESE UNUSUAL STAINED GLASS
WINDOWS. SO HE SAID, 'I WANT TO
00:10:14.91\00:10:18.81
DWELL AMONG THEM.' HE WANTED A
PLACE WHERE THEY COULD MEET WITH
00:10:18.81\00:10:21.52
HIM BECAUSE WE ARE GEOGRAPHIC
CREATURES. DON'T YOU ALL LIKE TO
00:10:21.52\00:10:27.16
GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY?
WE HAVE PLACES THAT WE WANT TO
00:10:27.16\00:10:30.53
BE. QUESTION #3 - IN CASE YOU'RE
00:10:30.53\00:10:34.86
COUNTING, THERE'LL BE TEN
- BUT THE TENTH ONE IS REALLY
00:10:34.86\00:10:38.13
LONG, SO DON'T GET EXCITED.
(LAUGHTER) WHERE DID MOSES
00:10:38.13\00:10:43.44
OBTAIN THE BLUEPRINTS
FOR THIS FIRST TEMPLE?
00:10:43.44\00:10:46.98
DID - YOU KNOW, THEY HAD TEMPLE
DESIGNS AMONG THE PHOENICIANS,
00:10:46.98\00:10:52.38
AND THERE WERE TEMPLES THEY SAW
IN EGYPT AND SO WERE THEY JUST
00:10:52.38\00:10:55.62
TO COPY ONE OF THE PLANS FROM
THE TEMPLES THEY SAW IN EGYPT OR
00:10:55.62\00:10:58.75
- WHERE DID THIS
DESIGN COME FROM?
00:10:58.75\00:11:01.12
IT TELLS YOU HERE IN THE BIBLE
THAT GOD GAVE HIM THE PLAN.
00:11:01.12\00:11:04.99
EXODUS 25:40, "AND SEE TO IT" -
GOD TOLD MOSES - "THAT YOU MAKE
00:11:04.99\00:11:09.03
THEM ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN
WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE
00:11:09.03\00:11:12.80
MOUNTAIN." WHEN HE
WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN HE
00:11:12.80\00:11:15.14
RECEIVED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ALONG WITH THE STATUTES AND
00:11:15.14\00:11:18.77
ORDINANCES, HE RECEIVED
VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT
00:11:18.77\00:11:24.18
BUILDING AN EDIFICE THAT WOULD
BE A PLACE WHERE HE MET WITH
00:11:24.18\00:11:27.48
HIS PEOPLE THAT WAS UNIQUE.
NOTHING GOD DOES IS BY ACCIDENT.
00:11:27.48\00:11:31.35
THIS WAS A SUPERNATURALLY
DESIGNED PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE
00:11:31.35\00:11:35.36
THAT GOD GAVE THE PLANS TO MOSES
AS TRULY AS GOD GAVE THE BOAT
00:11:35.36\00:11:40.86
DESIGN TO NOAH. IT
WAS TO BE A SUPERNATURAL
00:11:40.86\00:11:44.40
BUILDING AND SO IT'S WORTH OUR
STUDY - IT'S VERY INTERESTING.
00:11:44.40\00:11:48.50
BY THE WAY, YOU FIND THAT
REPEATED IN HEBREWS 5 - THE
00:11:48.50\00:11:51.67
THINGS ON EARTH THAT WERE BUILT
WERE A COPY AND A SHADOW OF THE
00:11:51.67\00:11:55.61
HEAVENLY THINGS. SO
THE PLANS THAT GOD GAVE TO
00:11:55.61\00:11:59.31
MOSES WAS A MINIATURE OF
GOD'S DWELLING PLACE IN HEAVEN.
00:11:59.31\00:12:06.25
HOW MANY OF YOU - OSTENSIBLY,
MEN, WHEN YOU WERE BOYS, HAD
00:12:06.25\00:12:14.20
MATCHBOX CARS OR YOU HAD A
HOT WHEELS SET AND YOU WOULD ALL
00:12:14.20\00:12:18.43
COLLECT THE VARIOUS DESIGNS.
AND IT WASN'T ALWAYS TRUE WITH
00:12:18.43\00:12:22.37
HOT WHEELS THAT THE JAGUAR OR
THE FERRARI WOULD GO FASTER THAN
00:12:22.37\00:12:26.51
THE AMBULANCE. THAT
JUST HAD TO DO WITH THE
00:12:26.51\00:12:29.48
ACTUAL WHEELS ON THE CAR,
BUT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO
00:12:29.48\00:12:34.28
KNOW THAT WHEN THEY MAKE A
NEW MATCHBOX CAR - EVERYONE HERE
00:12:34.28\00:12:37.39
KNOW WHAT A MATCHBOX CAR IS?
IT USED TO BE EVERY TIME I WENT
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.59
FROM COVOLO TO UKIAH TO GO
SHOPPING, I HAD TO KIND OF SPEND
00:12:40.59\00:12:45.23
TWO DOLLARS TO
BUY TWO MATCHBOX CARS.
00:12:45.23\00:12:47.76
THEY COST A DOLLAR BACK THEN
- THESE LITTLE DIE-CAST CARS FOR
00:12:47.76\00:12:51.57
THE BOYS TO PLAY WITH AND IT
MADE THEM HAPPY FOR ABOUT TEN
00:12:51.57\00:12:54.34
MINUTES. BUT THE
MATCHBOX CARS ARE
00:12:54.34\00:13:00.21
ACTUALLY VERY SOPHISTICATED
MINIATURES OF REAL DESIGNS.
00:13:00.21\00:13:05.78
WHEN THEY MAKE A NEW MATCHBOX
CAR, THEY HAVE A WAREHOUSE WHERE
00:13:05.78\00:13:10.29
THEY WOULD BRING IN THEIR
NEXT MODEL AND THEY WOULD BUY A
00:13:10.29\00:13:12.32
FULL-SIZE LIMO, FERRARI,
CORVETTE - WHATEVER IT WAS -
00:13:12.32\00:13:16.62
THEY WOULD SCAN IT WITH LASERS,
MEASURE IT, AND REDUCE IT TO
00:13:16.62\00:13:19.89
ONE HUNDREDTH THE SIZE. AND
SO THEY ARE EXACT MINIATURES
00:13:19.89\00:13:26.07
- AS FAR AS THE DIMENSIONS
GO - OF THE MUCH BIGGER MODELS.
00:13:26.07\00:13:29.44
THEY REALLY WERE ACCURATE
IN SCALE, BUT REALLY SMALL.
00:13:29.44\00:13:34.18
SO WHEN MOSES WAS TOLD TO BUILD
THIS TEMPLE ON EARTH AND HE'S
00:13:34.18\00:13:38.55
GIVEN THE PLANS, HE'S GIVEN A
MINIATURE OF SOMETHING THAT IS
00:13:38.55\00:13:42.58
MUCH MORE GLORIOUS.
NOW, YOU KNOW, MATCHBOX CAR -
00:13:42.58\00:13:44.95
STEERING - YOU CAN'T REACH
THE STEERING WHEEL, IT'S GO NO
00:13:44.95\00:13:47.16
ENGINE IN IT - I MEAN, IT IS
REALLY SMALL - BUT IT GIVES YOU
00:13:47.16\00:13:49.86
AN IDEA OF WHAT A CORVETTE
LOOKS LIKE, JUST MUCH BIGGER.
00:13:49.86\00:13:54.76
IT WAS DESIGNED TO GIVE AN IDEA
ABOUT THE DWELLING PLACE OF GOD.
00:13:54.76\00:13:59.50
FOR EXAMPLE: ON THE WALLPAPER
INSIDE THE HOLY PLACE, THEY WERE
00:13:59.50\00:14:04.87
TOLD TO ENGRAVE ANGELS.
AND SO THERE WERE ENGRAVINGS OF
00:14:04.87\00:14:09.84
ANGELS ON THE WALLPAPER, THERE
WERE ENGRAVINGS OF ANGELS ON THE
00:14:09.84\00:14:13.25
VEIL THAT HUNG BETWEEN THE HOLY
PLACE AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:14:13.25\00:14:17.52
IS THAT BECAUSE GOD HAS ANGEL-
COLORED WALLPAPER IN HEAVEN?
00:14:17.52\00:14:22.46
OR DOES HE HAVE REAL, LIVING,
MOVING, WAVING, WALLS OF ANGELS?
00:14:22.46\00:14:29.60
ABOVE THE ARK THERE
WERE TWO GOLDEN ANGELS.
00:14:29.60\00:14:33.23
IS THAT BECAUSE GOD SITS ON A
THRONE WITH TWO GOLDEN ANGELS,
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.91
KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOLOMON
HAD GOLDEN LIONS BY HIS THRONE.
00:14:36.91\00:14:39.61
DO YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
00:14:39.61\00:14:41.14
I THINK THERE WERE SIX GOLDEN
LIONS ON EACH SIDE - ADDING UP
00:14:41.14\00:14:43.38
TO TWELVE LIONS ON
THE RIGHT AND ON THE LEFT.
00:14:43.38\00:14:45.75
AND WHEN THE QUEEN OF SHEBA SAW
THE THRONE OF SOLOMON AND HIS
00:14:45.75\00:14:48.88
GOLDEN LIONS, SHE
WAS LEFT WITHOUT BREATH.
00:14:48.88\00:14:51.89
THE BIBLE SAYS
IT WAS BREATHTAKING.
00:14:51.89\00:14:53.89
SO DOES GOD SIT
BETWEEN TWO GOLDEN ANGELS?
00:14:53.89\00:14:57.26
YOU READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 6,
IT SAYS, 'GOD, ON HIS THRONE, IS
00:14:57.26\00:15:01.43
FLANKED BY LIVING ANGELS
THAT SAY, 'HOLY' - IT CALLS THEM
00:15:01.43\00:15:05.53
'CHERUBIM' - 'HOLY,
HOLY, HOLY' THEY WERE CRYING.
00:15:05.53\00:15:08.40
SO IT'S REAL. AND SO
WHEN I TALK ABOUT THE
00:15:08.40\00:15:11.34
BLUEPRINTS, JUST KEEP IN MIND
THE SCALE IS REALLY SMALL, BUT
00:15:11.34\00:15:14.61
IT'S TO GIVE US AN
IDEA THAT WE CAN COMPREHEND.
00:15:14.61\00:15:17.35
SO GOD GAVE HIM THE PLANS - NOT
ONLY THE PLANS FOR THE BUILDING
00:15:17.35\00:15:23.52
AND ITS SERVICES, HE GAVE HIM
THE PLANS FOR THE VESTMENTS OF
00:15:23.52\00:15:29.12
THE PRIESTS - WHAT THE PRIESTS
WERE TO WEAR AND WHAT THE HIGH
00:15:29.12\00:15:32.93
PRIEST WAS TO WEAR, AND IT'S
ALL HIGHLY SYMBOLIC, TO TEACH US
00:15:32.93\00:15:37.37
THINGS. FOR
EXAMPLE, HIGH PRIEST WAS
00:15:37.37\00:15:39.77
TO WEAR, YOU KNOW, PURE WHITE
GARMENTS - SYMBOL OF PURITY -
00:15:39.77\00:15:42.37
HAD A GOLD CROWN PLACARD ON
THERE THAT SAID, 'HOLINESS TO
00:15:42.37\00:15:45.54
THE LORD' BECAUSE HE REPRESENTED
GOD. HIGH PRIEST, ON HIS HEART
00:15:45.54\00:15:50.81
HE HAD THIS EPHOD THAT HAD
TWELVE STONES - ALL BEAUTIFUL,
00:15:50.81\00:15:54.82
ALL DIFFERENT - JUST LIKE GOD'S
PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT - ON HIS
00:15:54.82\00:15:57.52
HEART, WHERE HE WAS
INTERCEDING FOR THEM.
00:15:57.52\00:16:00.62
AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT, WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE TWELVE STONES ON
00:16:00.62\00:16:04.56
THE BREASTPLATE OF THE HIGH
PRIEST, THEY MATCH UP WITH THE
00:16:04.56\00:16:08.36
TWELVE FOUNDATION STONES IN THE
NEW JERUSALEM THAT YOU FIND IN
00:16:08.36\00:16:12.33
REVELATION CHAPTER
22, I BELIEVE IT IS.
00:16:12.33\00:16:15.97
AND SO, YOU FIND THERE'S
A LOT OF PARALLELS THERE.
00:16:15.97\00:16:18.44
ANYWAY, SO THE WHOLE DESIGN,
THE BUILDING, ITS SERVICES, THE
00:16:18.44\00:16:22.48
VESTMENTS OF THE PRIESTS
WERE NOT DESIGNED BY MOSES.
00:16:22.48\00:16:25.85
MOSES WAS NOT DREAMING THOSE
THINGS UP. IT CAME FROM GOD.
00:16:25.85\00:16:29.02
AND SO THERE'S A LOT WE
CAN LEARN ABOUT THESE THINGS.
00:16:29.02\00:16:31.65
SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK INSIDE FOR
A MOMENT AND, FIRST LET'S START
00:16:31.65\00:16:34.92
WITH THE MAIN LAYOUT. YOU
HAD - IT'S A BIG RECTANGLE
00:16:34.92\00:16:41.56
AND IN THE BIG RECTANGLE
YOU'VE GOT A SMALLER RECTANGLE.
00:16:41.56\00:16:47.54
WITHIN THE BIG RECTANGLE
IT'S CALLED THE COURTYARD.
00:16:47.54\00:16:50.57
THEN YOU HAD A RECTANGULAR
BUILDING THAT WAS COVERED - THE
00:16:50.57\00:16:53.27
COURTYARD WAS OPEN. THE
FIRST COVERED BUILDING YOU
00:16:53.27\00:16:56.51
GO IN IS CALLED THE HOLY PLACE.
00:16:56.51\00:16:58.48
THERE WAS A VEIL SEPARATING THE
HOLY PLACE FROM THE LAST ROOM -
00:16:58.48\00:17:02.42
THE INNER SANCTUM,
WHICH WAS THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:17:02.42\00:17:07.36
NOBODY COULD GO IN THERE EXCEPT
THE HIGH PRIEST ONCE A YEAR
00:17:07.36\00:17:10.59
AND THERE WAS
ONE THING IN THERE.
00:17:10.59\00:17:12.66
SO IN THE BIG COURTYARD, WHEN
YOU FIRST CAME THROUGH THE DOOR
00:17:12.66\00:17:16.70
- AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU,
THE FIRST TABERNACLE HAD TO BE
00:17:16.70\00:17:19.97
PORTABLE SO IT HAD CLOTH WALLS
AND IT HAD A CLOTH ROOF AND THEY
00:17:19.97\00:17:25.17
COULD TAKE IT DOWN AND HAUL
IT AROUND THROUGH THE DESERT AND
00:17:25.17\00:17:27.54
SET IT BACK UP AGAIN.
SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS OFTEN
00:17:27.54\00:17:30.35
CALLED 'TABERNACLE'
BECAUSE IT WAS IN A TENT FORM.
00:17:30.35\00:17:34.75
IT WAS A MOBILE SANCTUARY.
AND WHAT WAS THE FIRST - WHAT
00:17:34.75\00:17:38.69
WAS THE FURNITURE THAT YOU WOULD
HAVE FOUND IN THE COURTYARD?
00:17:38.69\00:17:41.26
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN, THE
FIRST THING YOU DO IS YOU WALK
00:17:41.26\00:17:43.56
THROUGH THE DOOR. HOW
MANY DOORS WERE THERE?
00:17:43.56\00:17:46.39
ONE ENTRANCE - ONE DOOR - DIDN'T
HAVE A BACK DOOR, DIDN'T HAVE
00:17:46.39\00:17:49.16
EMERGENCY FIRE
EXITS. THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE
00:17:49.16\00:17:52.63
PASSED FIRE CODE.
IT HAD ONE ENTRANCE.
00:17:52.63\00:17:56.71
THE FIRST THING YOU SAW WHEN YOU
CAME IN WAS AN ALTAR - AN ALTAR
00:17:56.71\00:18:02.11
WHERE A VICTIM WAS
SACRIFICED AND BURNED.
00:18:02.11\00:18:07.98
BEYOND THE ALTAR THEY HAD A
LARGE BRONZE OR BRASS LAVER.
00:18:07.98\00:18:13.59
IT HAD TWO SECTIONS, A TOP
SECTION OF WATER FOR WASHING
00:18:13.59\00:18:16.62
HANDS, A LOWER SECTION
OF WATER FOR WASHING FEET.
00:18:16.62\00:18:20.13
AND SO THESE WERE THE MAIN
THINGS THAT WERE IN THE FIRST
00:18:20.13\00:18:23.60
COMPARTMENT.
YOU'VE GOT SOME PICTURES
00:18:23.60\00:18:25.47
OF THEM UP ON THE SCREEN.
THESE ARE JUST SOME - SOME BASIC
00:18:25.47\00:18:28.67
COMPUTERIZED IDEAS TO HELP
YOU VISUALIZE WHAT WAS THERE.
00:18:28.67\00:18:32.67
THEN #5 - WHAT WAS THE
FURNITURE IN THE HOLY PLACE?
00:18:32.67\00:18:36.91
IF - ONCE YOU WENT FROM THE
COURTYARD INTO THE FIRST ROOM OF
00:18:36.91\00:18:39.68
THE TENT - THE BUILDING THAT WAS
COVERED - YOU WOULD FIND THREE
00:18:39.68\00:18:44.02
ARTICLES OF FURNITURE
IN THERE. WHAT WERE THEY?
00:18:44.02\00:18:47.36
THE CANDLESTICK, YOU'VE GOT THE
TABLE OF SHOWBREAD, AND YOU'VE
00:18:47.36\00:18:50.26
GOT THE ALTAR OF INCENSE.
YOU GO TO THE NEXT SET OF
00:18:50.26\00:18:52.26
PICTURES - IN THE NEXT
SLIDE - AND YOU'LL SEE THE
00:18:52.26\00:18:56.10
THREE THINGS AGAIN. SO,
WHEN YOU WALKED IN YOU HAD
00:18:56.10\00:18:59.43
CANDLESTICK ON YOUR LEFT, YOU
HAD THE TABLE OF SHOWBREAD ON
00:18:59.43\00:19:01.90
YOUR RIGHT AND JUST BEFORE THE
VEIL WAS THIS ALTAR OF INCENSE.
00:19:01.90\00:19:07.08
NOW THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT,
00:19:07.08\00:19:10.58
THE ALTAR OF INCENSE WAS ALSO
MOVED WITHIN THE VEIL FOR THAT
00:19:10.58\00:19:13.68
FINAL SERVICE. SO IT
WAS A LITTLE BIT PORTABLE.
00:19:13.68\00:19:16.75
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, YOU'LL
GET CONFUSED WHEN YOU READ
00:19:16.75\00:19:20.62
HEBREWS AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE
ALTAR OF INCENSE BEING IN THE
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.06
HOLY OF HOLIES.
WELL, IT WAS ON THE DAY OF
00:19:23.06\00:19:25.16
ATONEMENT - FOR
THAT FINAL SERVICE.
00:19:25.16\00:19:28.03
AND THESE ARTICLES ALL REPRESENT
SOMETHING - I'LL GET TO IT -
00:19:28.03\00:19:31.80
I JUST WANT YOU TO
HAVE ALL THIS IN YOUR HEAD.
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.67
SIX THINGS: YOU'VE GOT ALTAR,
LAVER, SHOWBREAD, ALTAR OF
00:19:33.67\00:19:41.38
INCENSE, YOU'VE GOT THE
CANDLESTICK, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT
00:19:41.38\00:19:46.55
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
NOW I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
00:19:46.55\00:19:49.08
WHAT FURNITURE - #6 -
WAS IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE?
00:19:49.08\00:19:51.69
I JUST GAVE IT AWAY. YOU
HAD THE ARK - CALLED THE ARK
00:19:51.69\00:19:57.53
OF THE COVENANT OR THE ARK
OF THE TESTAMENT BECAUSE IT WAS
00:19:57.53\00:20:00.00
THIS BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN BOX
WITH THE TWO ANGELS ON TOP AND
00:20:00.00\00:20:03.26
DIFFERENT ARTISTS SORT OF
RENDER THOSE ANGELS DIFFERENTLY.
00:20:03.26\00:20:06.43
THEIR WINGS CAME TOGETHER AND
THEY WERE IN A PRAYING FORMATION
00:20:06.43\00:20:10.67
- IT'S LIKE THEY WERE LOOKING
DOWN AT WHAT WAS UNDER THE LID.
00:20:10.67\00:20:14.01
AND WHAT WAS IN THE
BOX? >>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:20:14.01\00:20:16.58
>>WHAT WAS THE TREASURE - AND
THAT'S #7 - WHAT WAS INSIDE THE
00:20:16.58\00:20:20.18
ARK? THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:20:20.18\00:20:23.85
NOW THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY
00:20:23.85\00:20:26.92
THIS BEFORE, IF I WERE TO
ASK YOU 'WHERE DO PEOPLE IN THE
00:20:26.92\00:20:32.53
WORLD THINK THE HOLY LAND
IS? WHAT WOULD YOU ANSWER?
00:20:32.53\00:20:36.10
>>JERUSALEM. >>ISRAEL, OKAY.
00:20:36.10\00:20:39.13
AND ISRAEL'S THE HOLY
LAND, WHAT'S THE HOLY CITY?
00:20:39.13\00:20:42.70
>>JERUSALEM.
>>JERUSALEM. AND IN THE HOLY
00:20:42.70\00:20:45.74
CITY THEY'VE GOT A
PLACE CALLED 'THE HOLY MOUNT'
00:20:45.74\00:20:49.14
WHAT WAS THAT CALLED?
00:20:49.14\00:20:50.98
IT'S CALLED 'MOUNT MORIAH',
'TEMPLE MOUNT', 'MOUNT ZION',
00:20:50.98\00:20:55.82
THAT'S BECAUSE THE
TEMPLE WAS UP THERE.
00:20:55.82\00:20:58.29
AND ON THE HOLY MOUNT THEY HAD
THE HOLY PLACE - THE TEMPLE -
00:20:58.29\00:21:03.32
HOLY TEMPLE AND IN THE
HOLY TEMPLE YOU'VE GOT THE HOLY
00:21:03.32\00:21:04.96
PLACE, THEN BEYOND THE HOLY
PLACE YOU'VE GOT THE HOLY OF
00:21:04.96\00:21:08.23
HOLIES AND WHAT WAS IN
THERE? THE HOLY ARK, RIGHT?
00:21:08.23\00:21:14.74
AND IN THE HOLY
ARK WHAT DID YOU HAVE?
00:21:14.74\00:21:17.61
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
>>TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:17.61\00:21:19.41
SO THIS WHOLE TEMPLE - THE
VERY NUCLEUS OF THE TEMPLE - ARE
00:21:19.41\00:21:24.15
THESE TWO STONES.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
00:21:24.15\00:21:27.58
THE WHOLE TEMPLE IS
THERE TO HONOR THE STONES.
00:21:27.58\00:21:30.35
WHAT'S UNUSUAL
ABOUT THESE STONES?
00:21:30.35\00:21:32.82
>>GOD'S WORD. >>WRITING ON THERE
00:21:32.82\00:21:35.99
- WHO WROTE IT? >>GOD.
00:21:35.99\00:21:37.66
>>THE WORD OF GOD.
LITERALLY THE WORD OF GOD
00:21:37.66\00:21:40.70
BECAUSE HE WROTE
IT WITH HIS FINGER.
00:21:40.70\00:21:42.50
HE SPOKE IT WITH HIS MOUTH.
00:21:42.50\00:21:43.83
AND SO, HERE IT'S THE WHOLE
TEMPLE - YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE
00:21:43.83\00:21:46.60
MOST WELL-FORTIFIED MUSEUMS
IN THE WORLD IS IN ISRAEL.
00:21:46.60\00:21:51.21
IT'S CALLED 'THE
SHRINE OF THE BOOK'.
00:21:51.21\00:21:54.38
IT IS A MUSEUM THAT HOLDS THEIR
GREATEST NATIONAL TREASURE,
00:21:54.38\00:21:58.35
WHICH IS - I KNOW
BONNIE AND ED HAVE BEEN THERE.
00:21:58.35\00:22:01.02
ANY OF YOU BEEN
THERE - TO ISRAEL?
00:22:01.02\00:22:02.25
YOU'VE BEEN THERE - I SEE SOME
OF YOU HAVE BEEN TO THE SHRINE
00:22:02.25\00:22:03.99
OF THE BOOK. THE
CEILING IS LIKE THREE-FEET
00:22:03.99\00:22:06.82
REINFORCED CONCRETE AND IT
JUST - EVERYTHING IS SUPER HIGH
00:22:06.82\00:22:11.79
SECURITY BECAUSE THE GREATEST
NATIONAL TREASURE OF THE
00:22:11.79\00:22:15.36
HEBREW PEOPLE IS THERE.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?
00:22:15.36\00:22:19.00
THE WORD - THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS
- WHICH ARE THE OLDEST COPIES
00:22:19.00\00:22:23.20
THAT THEY'VE GOT
OF THEIR SCRIPTURES.
00:22:23.20\00:22:27.41
AND IT IS THE NATIONAL TREASURE.
WELL, THE TEMPLE WAS ALL BUILT
00:22:27.41\00:22:31.31
AROUND THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS - THE LAW OF GOD.
00:22:31.31\00:22:34.08
AND SO IT
REPRESENTED THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:22:34.08\00:22:38.02
JESUS IS THE WORD, RIGHT?
00:22:38.02\00:22:40.19
SO LET'S GET BACK
TO OUR STUDY HERE.
00:22:40.19\00:22:42.56
AND SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE INSIDE - BY THE
00:22:42.56\00:22:46.66
WAY, YOU READ THAT - DEUTERONOMY
10, VERSE 5, "THEN I TURNED AND
00:22:46.66\00:22:50.60
CAME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN, AND
PUT THE TABLETS IN THE ARK WHICH
00:22:50.60\00:22:54.97
I HAD MADE; AND THERE THEY ARE,
JUST AS THE LORD COMMANDED ME."
00:22:54.97\00:22:59.34
SO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE PLACED IN THE ARK OF THE
00:22:59.34\00:23:01.48
COVENANT. NOW
QUESTION #8 - WHAT IS MEANT
00:23:01.48\00:23:06.21
- WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR
THE SANCTUARY AND ITS SERVICES?
00:23:06.21\00:23:09.78
ANSWER - IT WAS TO TEACH
ABOUT THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM.
00:23:09.78\00:23:14.82
LEVITICUS - I'M GOING TO GO TO
LEVITICUS 1, VERSE 4, AND VERSE
00:23:14.82\00:23:18.56
11, "THEN HE SHALL PUT HIS
HAND ON THE HEAD OF THE BURNT
00:23:18.56\00:23:23.83
OFFERING, AND IT WILL BE
ACCEPTED ON HIS BEHALF TO MAKE
00:23:23.83\00:23:27.30
ATONEMENT FOR HIM... HE
SHALL KILL IT ON THE SIDE
00:23:27.30\00:23:31.04
OF THE ALTAR NORTHWARD."
SACRIFICES WERE HAPPENING THERE.
00:23:31.04\00:23:36.08
THAT'S WHY THEY
HAD THE BURNT OFFERING.
00:23:36.08\00:23:37.85
BLOOD WAS BROUGHT
INTO THE HOLY PLACE.
00:23:37.85\00:23:39.41
THE WHOLE SANCTUARY
WAS ABOUT ATONEMENT.
00:23:39.41\00:23:42.82
NOW, I'M GOING TO READ 9 AND
THEN I'M GOING TO START TALKING.
00:23:42.82\00:23:46.15
SEE, I ALREADY GOT TO QUESTION
#9 - WHAT DID GOT EXPECT THEM TO
00:23:46.15\00:23:49.02
LEARN FROM THE SANCTUARY?
ANSWER: PSALM 77:13 - AND IT
00:23:49.02\00:23:54.56
SAYS, "THY WAY O GOD
IS IN THE SANCTUARY."
00:23:54.56\00:23:59.80
ALRIGHT, I WANT YOU TO NOTICE
THAT, 'THY WAY O GOD IS IN' -
00:23:59.80\00:24:04.47
THE WAY THAT GOD SAVES
PEOPLE IS IN THE SANCTUARY.
00:24:04.47\00:24:09.11
THE WILL OF GOD, THE WAY OF GOD.
NOW, I NEED TO DRAMATIZE THIS AS
00:24:09.11\00:24:13.65
WELL AS I CAN BECAUSE THIS IS
WHERE - TO ME - THIS IS WHERE I
00:24:13.65\00:24:16.48
THINK IT GETS REALLY INTERESTING
- UNDERSTANDING THE SUBJECT OF
00:24:16.48\00:24:19.75
THE TEMPLE, BECAUSE
IT'S TELLING US ABOUT GOD.
00:24:19.75\00:24:22.19
FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IS THAT
THE PRESENCE OF GOD - IF YOU
00:24:22.19\00:24:26.03
WERE TO SAY GOD WAS ANYWHERE
IN THE SANCTUARY, WHERE WOULD HE
00:24:26.03\00:24:28.50
BE? HOLY OF HOLIES
- BECAUSE GOD IS HOLY.
00:24:28.50\00:24:32.97
BY THE WAY, SOMETHING I
NEVER MENTIONED IS, IN THE TEN
00:24:32.97\00:24:35.80
COMMANDMENTS, WHICH ARE IN THE
HOLIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD, WHEN
00:24:35.80\00:24:38.94
THE TEMPLE WAS ON EARTH - YOU'VE
GOT THE HOLY LAW - DO YOU KNOW
00:24:38.94\00:24:43.01
HOW MANY TIMES THE WORD 'HOLY'
APPEARS IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:24:43.01\00:24:46.98
ONCE. WHO KNOWS
WHAT COMMANDMENT?
00:24:46.98\00:24:49.12
>>SABBATH.
>>SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:24:49.12\00:24:52.59
SABBATH - HOLY - KEEP IT
HOLY - GOD IS A HOLY GOD.
00:24:52.59\00:24:55.49
IT'S THE ONLY PLACE IT APPEARS
- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW YOU
00:24:55.49\00:24:57.49
FIND THE WORD HOLY.
IT'S THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT -
00:24:57.49\00:25:00.16
LONGEST OF THE COMMANDMENTS - SO
I THOUGHT THAT WAS INTERESTING.
00:25:00.16\00:25:02.63
BUT YOU'VE GOT GOD'S PRESENCE
- MAN IS ON THE OUTSIDE.
00:25:02.63\00:25:06.30
MAN IS SEPARATED FROM GOD. THE
WAY TO GOD IS A STRAIGHT LINE.
00:25:06.30\00:25:12.21
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK THROUGH THE
DOOR YOU'D GO BY THE ALTAR, BY
00:25:12.21\00:25:16.98
THE LAVER, THROUGH THE VEIL,
THEN YOU'D WALK INTO THE HOLY
00:25:16.98\00:25:20.98
PLACE, WHERE YOU'RE SURROUNDED
BY THESE THREE PIECES OF
00:25:20.98\00:25:23.45
FURNITURE, YOU'D WALK STRAIGHT
AHEAD AND THERE YOU'D HAVE GOD.
00:25:23.45\00:25:25.89
IT'S A STRAIGHT LINE FROM
THE DOOR TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:25:25.89\00:25:29.52
EVERYBODY CAN APPROACH GOD.
00:25:29.52\00:25:31.53
WHAT'S THE SHORTEST
DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS?
00:25:31.53\00:25:33.73
>>A STRAIGHT
LINE. >>A STRAIGHT LINE.
00:25:33.73\00:25:35.73
AND GOD IS CREATING A STRAIGHT
LINE WHERE HE WANTS US TO COME
00:25:35.73\00:25:38.63
TO HIM. BUT THERE'S SEPARATION.
00:25:38.63\00:25:40.50
YOU'VE GOT THE DOOR OF THE
SANCTUARY SEPARATING, YOU'VE GOT
00:25:40.50\00:25:44.97
THE DOOR OF THE HOLY PLACE THAT
SEPARATES, AND THEN THE VEIL OF
00:25:44.97\00:25:47.61
THE HOLY OF HOLIES. WE
ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD,
00:25:47.61\00:25:50.65
WHY? BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:25:50.65\00:25:52.85
YOU'VE GOT ONE DOOR AND THE
FIRST THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU
00:25:52.85\00:25:55.35
COME IN IS THE ALTAR, THEN THE
LAVER, THEN YOU GO INTO THE HOLY
00:25:55.35\00:25:57.85
PLACE AND WE'LL TALK MORE
ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:25:57.85\00:26:01.12
HOW MANY DISTRICTS
WERE THERE? THERE'S THREE.
00:26:01.12\00:26:06.46
THREE AREAS - YOU'VE GOT THE
COURTYARD, YOU'VE GOT THE HOLY
00:26:06.46\00:26:10.07
PLACE, AND YOU'VE
GOT THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:26:10.07\00:26:12.17
ARE YOU WITH ME? ARE WE RIGHT?
HOW MANY PHASES OF SALVATION ARE
00:26:12.17\00:26:16.47
THERE? THREE.
JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION,
00:26:16.47\00:26:24.31
GLORIFICATION. FIRST
WE ARE JUSTIFIED - WE COME
00:26:24.31\00:26:28.18
JUST LIKE WE ARE, THEN WE
LEARN TO FOLLOW THE LORD -
00:26:28.18\00:26:31.45
SANCTIFICATION, THEN
WE'RE GLORIFIED WHEN WE'RE
00:26:31.45\00:26:34.36
ULTIMATELY IN THE PRESENCE OF
GOD - WE'RE NO LONGER SEPARATED
00:26:34.36\00:26:37.13
- THAT'S GLORIFICATION. WE
HAVE OUR GLORIFIED NEW BODIES.
00:26:37.13\00:26:39.86
YOU'RE JUSTIFIED IN THE
COURTYARD, SANCTIFIED IN THE
00:26:39.86\00:26:43.67
HOLY PLACE, GLORIFIED
IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:26:43.67\00:26:48.14
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WENT THROUGH THOSE THREE PHASES.
00:26:48.14\00:26:52.61
EGYPT - LIKE THE COURTYARD -
THEN THEY WENT THROUGH THE RED
00:26:52.61\00:26:56.24
SEA - FIRST THEY WERE BAPTIZED
BY A PILLAR OF FIRE - DO YOU
00:26:56.24\00:26:59.95
REMEMBER THAT? WHEN THE
EGYPTIANS CAME AFTER THEM?
00:26:59.95\00:27:02.35
THAT'S THE ALTAR. THEN
THEY WENT THROUGH THE SEA -
00:27:02.35\00:27:04.72
THAT'S THE WATER - BAPTISM, THEN
THEY WENT INTO THE WILDERNESS
00:27:04.72\00:27:08.69
- DID GOD GIVE THEM BREAD
FROM HEAVEN IN THE WILDERNESS?
00:27:08.69\00:27:11.36
AND HE GAVE THEM LIGHT AT NIGHT
FROM THE PILLAR OF FIRE AND
00:27:11.36\00:27:15.43
MOSES WAS THERE TO INTERCEDE AND
SO YOU'VE GOT THE THREE THINGS
00:27:15.43\00:27:18.83
THAT ARE IN THE HOLY PLACE
AND SOMEDAY THEY ENTERED THE
00:27:18.83\00:27:21.64
PROMISED LAND -
THAT WAS GLORIFICATION.
00:27:21.64\00:27:24.67
AND SO YOU'VE GOT EGYPT,
WILDERNESS, PROMISED LAND -
00:27:24.67\00:27:27.94
THERE'S THREE PHASES IN
SALVATION, THERE WERE THREE
00:27:27.94\00:27:30.48
PHASES IN THE
EXPERIENCE OF ISRAEL.
00:27:30.48\00:27:32.65
SO THEY - THEY
REALLY IDENTIFIED WITH THIS.
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.68
BUT LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT THE BUILDING ITSELF.
00:27:34.68\00:27:38.39
WHEN YOU WALK IN, HOW
MANY ENTRANCES ARE THERE?
00:27:38.39\00:27:41.09
>>ONE. >>ONE.
00:27:41.09\00:27:42.49
JESUS SAID HOW
MANY WAYS ARE THERE?
00:27:42.49\00:27:44.16
>>ONE. >>THERE'S
ONE WAY. THERE'S ONE
00:27:44.16\00:27:46.59
DOOR. WHO IS THE DOOR? >>JESUS.
00:27:46.59\00:27:49.76
>>CHRIST SAYS, 'I AM THE DOOR.'
AND THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD DO
00:27:49.76\00:27:52.70
WHEN YOU WALKED INTO THE
SANCTUARY IS YOU WOULD WALK UP -
00:27:52.70\00:27:55.24
YOU WOULD NOT COME ALONE,
YOU WOULD BRING YOUR SACRIFICE.
00:27:55.24\00:27:58.81
AND YOU NEED TO ENTER HIS
PRESENCE FOR THE SACRIFICE.
00:27:58.81\00:28:02.28
IF YOU WERE A HEBREW MAN AND YOU
SINNED, YOU HAD TO EITHER TAKE A
00:28:02.28\00:28:07.52
LAMB OR A GOAT FROM
YOUR FLOCK OR BUY ONE.
00:28:07.52\00:28:11.82
YOU'D BRING IT TO THE PRIEST,
THE PRIEST AT THE DOOR WOULD
00:28:11.82\00:28:13.89
INSPECT IT TO MAKE
SURE IT WAS PERFECT. WHY?
00:28:13.89\00:28:15.92
BECAUSE WHO DOES
THAT LAMB REPRESENT?
00:28:15.92\00:28:17.53
JESUS. JESUS IS THE DOOR.
JESUS IS THE LAMB. YOU WITH ME?
00:28:17.53\00:28:22.23
HE WALKS IN, THE NEXT THING THAT
HAPPENS IS, ASSUMING IT'S OKAY,
00:28:22.23\00:28:26.53
YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS, YOU CONFESS
WHATEVER YOUR SIN OR SINS ARE ON
00:28:26.53\00:28:30.01
THE HEAD OF THAT INNOCENT VICTIM
AND THEN YOU WOULD TAKE A SHARP
00:28:30.01\00:28:33.91
KNIFE YOU RECEIVED FROM THE
PRIEST, AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO
00:28:33.91\00:28:36.58
SLAY IT. THEY DID
IT VERY QUICKLY, BUT
00:28:36.58\00:28:38.81
THEY WOULD THEN CATCH SOME
OF THE BLOOD AND THAT BLOOD THEN
00:28:38.81\00:28:42.58
WAS BROUGHT IN AND
SPRINKLED BEFORE THE LORD.
00:28:42.58\00:28:45.59
AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS
AMAZING HOW THEY DID THIS.
00:28:45.59\00:28:47.46
JOSEPHUS, THE HISTORIAN SAID
THAT DURING THE PASSOVER, AS
00:28:47.46\00:28:50.43
MANY AS 250,000 ANIMALS COULD
BE SACRIFICED IN THE TEMPLE, BUT
00:28:50.43\00:28:55.46
THERE WASN'T A SINGLE FLY TO
BE FOUND ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE
00:28:55.46\00:28:58.43
PRIESTS WERE SO SANITARY IN THE
WAY THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING.
00:28:58.43\00:29:02.60
THAT'S ALMOST INCOMPREHENSIBLE
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IF YOU
00:29:02.60\00:29:04.91
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BARN ANIMALS
AND WHAT WAS INVOLVED IN THAT.
00:29:04.91\00:29:08.08
I MEAN, WE CAN'T EVEN
KEEP THE FLIES OUT OF MODERN
00:29:08.08\00:29:11.08
SLAUGHTERHOUSES NOW, BUT
SOMEHOW, HE SAYS THEY DID BACK
00:29:11.08\00:29:14.58
THEN. SO THEY
WERE VERY CAREFUL AND
00:29:14.58\00:29:16.22
VERY CLEAN AND VERY METHODICAL
ABOUT THE WAY THEY DID IT.
00:29:16.22\00:29:18.82
YOU'D CONFESS YOUR SINS, YOU'D
SACRIFICE THE LAMB - THAT WOULD
00:29:18.82\00:29:22.22
MAKE YOU THINK TWICE
ABOUT SINNING, IF YOU KNEW TO BE
00:29:22.22\00:29:24.63
FORGIVEN, SOMETHING HAD TO DIE.
BUT IS THAT STILL TRUE TODAY?
00:29:24.63\00:29:29.03
I WONDER IF WE'D BE ANY HOLIER
TODAY IF EVERY TIME YOU WANTED
00:29:29.03\00:29:32.67
FORGIVENESS FOR SIN, YOU HAD
TO BRING A LAMB OR A GOAT OR, IF
00:29:32.67\00:29:37.97
YOU WERE REAL POOR, THEY WOULD
BRING A TURTLE DOVE - A PIGEON -
00:29:37.97\00:29:40.88
YOU HAD TO BRING A DOVE
AND EVERY TIME YOU WANTED
00:29:40.88\00:29:43.95
FORGIVENESS YOU
HAD TO KILL SOMETHING.
00:29:43.95\00:29:46.58
WOULDN'T THAT
MAKE YOU THINK TWICE?
00:29:46.58\00:29:51.92
SHOULDN'T THAT BE HARDER
WHEN YOU THINK THAT WHENEVER YOU
00:29:51.92\00:29:55.06
CONFESS YOUR SINS AND YOU
REPENT, IT COSTS THE LIFE OF
00:29:55.06\00:29:57.83
GOD'S SON? SOME OF
US, IT SAYS THEY CRUCIFY
00:29:57.83\00:30:02.50
THE SON OF GOD AFRESH,
IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS.
00:30:02.50\00:30:05.47
SO AFTER THE SACRIFICE, AS
YOU'RE APPROACHING GOD, THE NEXT
00:30:05.47\00:30:10.11
THING YOU WOULD
COME TO IS THE LAVER.
00:30:10.11\00:30:12.47
THE LAVER HAD
WHAT IN IT? >>WATER.
00:30:12.47\00:30:14.91
>>WATER. SO IN THE
COURT YOU'VE GOT TWO
00:30:14.91\00:30:16.68
THINGS: YOU'VE GOT
FIRE AND YOU'VE GOT RAIN.
00:30:16.68\00:30:21.15
YOU KNOW THE STORY OF
ELIJAH? HE PRAYS, FIRE COMES
00:30:21.15\00:30:24.79
DOWN FROM HEAVEN. HE
PRAYS, RAIN COMES DOWN
00:30:24.79\00:30:28.36
- BOTH IN THE SAME DAY. WE
NEED TO BE BORN OF THE WATER.
00:30:28.36\00:30:32.39
WE NEED TO BE BORN OF THE
SPIRIT. IF YOU WERE HERE FOR THE
00:30:32.39\00:30:35.30
SABBATH SCHOOL CLASS, YOU HEARD
MY TALK ABOUT BAPTIZED IN THE
00:30:35.30\00:30:39.30
SPIRIT AND BAPTIZED IN
THE WATER BY JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:30:39.30\00:30:43.10
JESUS SAID, 'I WILL BAPTIZE YOU
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH FIRE.'
00:30:43.10\00:30:46.17
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, BEFORE
THEY ENTERED INTO THE PROMISED
00:30:46.17\00:30:48.84
LAND, THEY HAD THE PILLAR OF
FIRE BAPTISM AND THEN THEY WENT
00:30:48.84\00:30:53.25
THROUGH THE RED SEA. AND PAUL
SAYS, IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER
00:30:53.25\00:30:56.45
10 - I KNOW, THERE'S A
LOT OF VERSES I'M GIVING YOU -
00:30:56.45\00:30:58.72
1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10,
HE SAYS THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN
00:30:58.72\00:31:01.26
CHRIST IN THE SEA. THE RED
SEA WAS A SYMBOL OF BAPTISM.
00:31:01.26\00:31:05.26
I'M NOT MAKING IT UP,
THAT'S WHAT THE APOSTLES SAID.
00:31:05.26\00:31:08.70
YOU KNOW, OUR WORLD IS GOING TO
BE MADE NEW SOMEDAY, BUT BEFORE
00:31:08.70\00:31:12.43
OUR WORLD CAN BE RECREATED, IT
IS GOING TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE
00:31:12.43\00:31:16.84
WATER AND BAPTIZED IN THE FIRE.
IN THE DAYS OF NOAH - 2 PETER
00:31:16.84\00:31:22.68
CHAPTER 3 - SAYS OUR
WORLD WENT THROUGH A BAPTISM.
00:31:22.68\00:31:25.65
AND, BEFORE JESUS COMES, IT
WON'T BE WATER NEXT TIME, WHAT
00:31:25.65\00:31:29.45
WILL IT BE? THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH THAT
00:31:29.45\00:31:31.72
ARE NOW KEPT IN STORE
ARE RESERVED FOR FIRE.
00:31:31.72\00:31:34.99
AND THEN GOD'LL MAKE A
NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH.
00:31:34.99\00:31:36.96
YOU AND I NEED TO GO THROUGH
SOME BAPTISMS AND WE NEED TO BE
00:31:36.96\00:31:40.83
CLEANSED AND SOMETIMES WE
GO THROUGH A FIRE BAPTISM.
00:31:40.83\00:31:44.27
SO YOU'VE GOT THAT IN THE TEMPLE
THERE - YOU'VE GOT THE FIRE,
00:31:44.27\00:31:47.14
YOU'VE GOT THE WATER - AND THEN
YOU WOULD ENTER INTO THE HOLY
00:31:47.14\00:31:51.07
PLACE. AND IN THE
HOLY PLACE THERE'S
00:31:51.07\00:31:54.51
THREE ARTICLES OF
FURNITURE. WHAT ARE THEY AGAIN?
00:31:54.51\00:31:56.81
>>CANDLESTICK. >>CANDLESTICK.
00:31:56.81\00:31:59.41
(INAUDIBLE) THE BUTCHER THE
BAKER THE CANDLESTICK MAKER -
00:31:59.41\00:32:04.55
NO, IT'S THE CANDLESTICK, YOU'VE
GOT THE BAKER - YOU'VE GOT THE
00:32:04.55\00:32:08.62
BREAD - AND THEN YOU
HAD AN ALTAR OF INCENSE.
00:32:08.62\00:32:11.93
THOSE THREE THINGS REPRESENT
THE THREE DISCIPLINES OF THE
00:32:11.93\00:32:15.23
CHRISTIAN LIFE. THE
BREAD REPRESENTS WHAT?
00:32:15.23\00:32:18.60
>>THE WORD OF GOD. >>TO
- SAY JUSTIFICATION IN THE
00:32:18.60\00:32:22.14
COURTYARD, YOU COME JUST LIKE
YOU ARE, YOU BRING YOUR LAMB.
00:32:22.14\00:32:25.07
YOU'RE BAPTIZED AND THEN
YOU ENTER INTO SANCTIFICATION.
00:32:25.07\00:32:28.11
THERE ARE SOMETIMES
TRIALS AFTER BAPTISM.
00:32:28.11\00:32:30.78
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WENT
THROUGH THE RED SEA AND THEN
00:32:30.78\00:32:32.88
THERE WERE SOME
TRIALS IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:32:32.88\00:32:34.92
JESUS WENT THROUGH BAPTISM
AND THE SPIRIT LED HIM WHERE?
00:32:34.92\00:32:38.52
INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE
HE WAS TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL.
00:32:38.52\00:32:41.62
AND SO YOU'RE SEEING THE
WHOLE PLAN OF SALVATION IN THE
00:32:41.62\00:32:43.93
SANCTUARY IS ACTED OUT.
THE WHOLE STORY OF THE LIFE
00:32:43.93\00:32:47.50
OF JESUS IS THERE AS WELL.
SO MAN DOESN'T LIVE BY BREAD
00:32:47.50\00:32:51.80
ALONE BUT BY EVERY
WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM GOD.
00:32:51.80\00:32:55.00
JESUS IS THE BREAD
THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:32:55.00\00:32:57.97
AND SO, WE NEED
TO READ OUR BIBLES.
00:32:57.97\00:33:00.68
AND THEN IT SAYS
THERE'S A CANDLESTICK.
00:33:00.68\00:33:02.58
WHAT DOES THE LIGHT REPRESENT?
THE LIGHT REPRESENTS CHRIST AND
00:33:02.58\00:33:07.05
JESUS ALSO SAID YOU ARE THE
LIGHT OF THE WORLD AND WE'RE
00:33:07.05\00:33:11.09
TO LET OUR LIGHT
SHINE. WE ARE TO BE WITNESSES.
00:33:11.09\00:33:13.29
SO, READ OUR BIBLE, SHARE OUR
FAITH, AND WHAT DOES THE ALTAR
00:33:13.29\00:33:16.52
OF INCENSE REPRESENT? THE
BIBLE SAYS, IN REVELATION,
00:33:16.52\00:33:20.83
THAT IT REPRESENTS THE
PRAYERS OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:33:20.83\00:33:23.10
YOU KNOW, LET'S ADMIT IT, SMOKE
IS SORT OF ETHEREAL AND THEY
00:33:23.10\00:33:26.23
WOULD PUT THIS FRAGRANT MYRRH OR
FRANKINCENSE WHICH, BY THE WAY,
00:33:26.23\00:33:31.37
THEY GAVE TO JESUS WHEN - IT
CAME FROM THE WISE MEN WHEN HE
00:33:31.37\00:33:34.41
WAS A BABY. THEY
WOULD PUT THAT ON THE ALTAR
00:33:34.41\00:33:37.55
AND THE PLEASANT FRAGRANCE WOULD
VAPORIZE AND SMOKE WOULD RISE
00:33:37.55\00:33:42.55
AND GO ACROSS THE VEIL AND SO,
FROM THE HOLY PLACE TO THE MOST
00:33:42.55\00:33:47.52
HOLY PLACE, IT'S LIKE IT WAS
CARRYING THE FRAGRANT PRAYERS OF
00:33:47.52\00:33:51.53
GOD'S PEOPLE BEING MADE
SWEET THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:33:51.53\00:33:54.46
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THE SPIRIT
TAKES OUR PRAYERS - GROANINGS
00:33:54.46\00:33:57.03
THAT CANNOT BE UTTERED - AND
BRINGS IT INTO THE PRESENCE OF
00:33:57.03\00:33:59.83
GOD AND WE PRAY
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:33:59.83\00:34:02.47
SO YOU'VE GOT THE ALTAR OF
INCENSE REPRESENTED - PRAYER.
00:34:02.47\00:34:06.41
THE CANDLESTICK REPRESENTED
LETTING YOUR LIGHT SHINE AND THE
00:34:06.41\00:34:10.28
BREAD
REPRESENTED THE WORD OF GOD.
00:34:10.28\00:34:11.98
BUT THOSE THINGS ALL
REPRESENT JESUS AS WELL.
00:34:11.98\00:34:16.08
WHO IS THE BREAD THAT
CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN?
00:34:16.08\00:34:19.12
CHRIST SAID, 'I AM THE BREAD.'
MOSES ISN'T THE ONE WHO REALLY
00:34:19.12\00:34:22.49
GAVE YOUR FATHER
BREAD, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:34:22.49\00:34:25.63
WHO IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD?
IT'S TRUE, JESUS SAID 'YOU ARE
00:34:25.63\00:34:29.16
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, LET YOUR
LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN', BUT
00:34:29.16\00:34:33.44
HE ALSO SAID, 'I AM
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD'.
00:34:33.44\00:34:35.67
SO IF WE HAVE ANY LIGHT,
WE'RE JUST REFLECTING HIS LIGHT.
00:34:35.67\00:34:38.21
SEE? AND IF WE'VE
GOT BREAD OF LIFE,
00:34:38.21\00:34:40.84
IT'S BECAUSE IT COMES FROM
HIS BREAD. AND THE PRAYER -
00:34:40.84\00:34:46.11
CHRIST IS OUR HIGH
PRIEST. WE PRAY IN HIS NAME.
00:34:46.11\00:34:50.05
AND SO, I HOPE YOU'RE GETTING
THIS, BUT AS YOU LOOK AT THE
00:34:50.05\00:34:53.22
WAYS THAT JESUS IDENTIFIED
HIMSELF WHEN HE CAME TO EARTH,
00:34:53.22\00:34:56.93
HE SAID, 'I AM THE
DOOR.' HE IS THE LAMB.
00:34:56.93\00:35:05.00
HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST.
HE IS THE LIVING WATER.
00:35:05.00\00:35:09.34
WHAT COMES AFTER THE
ALTAR? THE LAVER - HE'S
00:35:09.34\00:35:12.34
THE LIVING WATER. HE IS THE
LIGHT. HE IS THE BREAD. HE IS
00:35:12.34\00:35:17.68
THE ONE WHO INTERCEDES WITH OUR
PRAYERS. NOW YOU GET INTO THE
00:35:17.68\00:35:20.95
HOLY OF HOLIES AND YOU'VE GOT
THE ARK, WHICH IS A GOLDEN BOX,
00:35:20.95\00:35:24.85
BUT THE BOX IS THE CONTAINER
TO HOLD WHAT? THE ROCKS.
00:35:24.85\00:35:28.52
JESUS IS THE WORD AND JESUS
SAID, 'I AM THE ROCK.' HE SAID
00:35:28.52\00:35:32.49
'ANYONE WHO HEARS THESE SAYINGS
OF MINE AND DOES THEM, HE IS
00:35:32.49\00:35:35.06
LIKE A WISE MAN WHO'S
BUILDING HIS HOUSE ON A ROCK.'
00:35:35.06\00:35:38.63
AND SO, ARE YOU GETTING
THAT JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS
00:35:38.63\00:35:41.47
JOURNEY THROUGH THE SANCTUARY
IS TALKING ABOUT BAPTISM.
00:35:41.47\00:35:44.17
IT'S TALKING ABOUT SURRENDER
- THE CROSS WAS WHERE CHRIST
00:35:44.17\00:35:47.11
SUFFERED - THE ALTAR - THE
SACRIFICE - BAPTISM - THE HOLY
00:35:47.11\00:35:51.71
PLACE - THE CHRISTIAN
DISCIPLINES: READING YOUR BIBLE,
00:35:51.71\00:35:54.25
PRAYING, GETTING READY FOR
GLORIFICATION - THE PRESENCE OF
00:35:54.25\00:35:57.19
GOD. AND SO THE WHOLE
THING IS A JOURNEY TOWARDS GOD.
00:35:57.19\00:36:01.42
NOW THIS WAS THE FIRST
TABERNACLE THAT WAS BUILT IN THE
00:36:01.42\00:36:04.76
WILDERNESS. IT WAS PORTABLE.
00:36:04.76\00:36:08.46
IT LASTED FOR
SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS.
00:36:08.46\00:36:10.50
MATTER OF FACT, IT
WAS PRETTY PITIFUL.
00:36:10.50\00:36:12.40
BY THE TIME IT WENT THROUGH THE
AGE OF THE JUDGES AND SAMUEL,
00:36:12.40\00:36:17.77
AND KING SAUL - AND EVEN DURING
THE TIME OF KING DAVID, DAVID
00:36:17.77\00:36:22.98
SAID ONE TIME - HE'S PRAYING IN
1 CHRONICLES AND HE SAID, 'I'M
00:36:22.98\00:36:27.12
DWELLING IN A HOUSE MADE OF
CEDAR' - KING HIRAM UP FROM TYRE
00:36:27.12\00:36:31.62
GAVE HIM ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL
CEDAR WOOD TO BUILD HIM A PALACE
00:36:31.62\00:36:34.46
FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL HOUSE AND
HE'S GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
00:36:34.46\00:36:37.06
AND HE LOOKS OUT AND THE ARK OF
GOD IS IN A FLAPPING RAGGED TENT
00:36:37.06\00:36:41.30
THAT'S PROBABLY BEEN PATCHED AND
REPLACED OVER SEVERAL HUNDRED
00:36:41.30\00:36:44.70
YEARS. AND SO HE SAID,
'THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT.
00:36:44.70\00:36:47.87
I MEAN ALL THESE OTHER KINGDOMS,
THEY'VE GOT THESE BEAUTIFUL
00:36:47.87\00:36:49.70
TEMPLES FOR THEIR GODS.' I MEAN,
EVEN BEFORE DAVID, DURING THE
00:36:49.70\00:36:53.54
TIME OF RUTH, SAMSON LIVED AND
IT TALKS ABOUT SAMSON, REMEMBER,
00:36:53.54\00:36:57.71
BRINGING DOWN
THE TEMPLE OF DAGON.
00:36:57.71\00:36:59.81
SO WE KNOW THE
PHILISTINES HAD TEMPLES.
00:36:59.81\00:37:01.55
AND THEY HAD THE TEMPLE OF
MOLOCH, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT.
00:37:01.55\00:37:05.02
AND SO ALL THESE DIFFERENT GODS
HAD TEMPLES BUT THE ARK OF GOD
00:37:05.02\00:37:09.12
IS IN A TENT. AND DAVID,
THAT REALLY BOTHERED HIM.
00:37:09.12\00:37:11.89
AND THE BURDEN OF DAVID'S LIFE
WAS TO BUILD A PERMANENT TEMPLE.
00:37:11.89\00:37:16.50
HE SAID, 'YEAH, THE TABERNACLE
WAS GOOD WHEN YOU'RE GOING
00:37:16.50\00:37:18.67
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS' -
BECAUSE THEY HAD TO PACK IT AND
00:37:18.67\00:37:20.60
TAKE IT DOWN AND SET IT UP
AND TAKE IT DOWN - HE SAYS, 'BUT
00:37:20.60\00:37:23.27
WE'RE SETTLED NOW.' SEE, GOD
TOLD DAVID - I TAKE THAT BACK -
00:37:23.27\00:37:27.88
GOD TOLD MOSES - HE SAID 'WHEN
THEY ENTER INTO THE PROMISED
00:37:27.88\00:37:31.88
LAND, THERE WILL BE A PLACE THAT
I WILL CHOOSE FOR MY NAME TO
00:37:31.88\00:37:36.28
DWELL.' THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE THAT WAS GOING TO BE.
00:37:36.28\00:37:39.85
WELL, DAVID MADE A MISTAKE ONE
DAY AND HE NUMBERED ISRAEL AND A
00:37:39.85\00:37:43.93
PLAGUE CAME - HE WAS BRAGGING
ABOUT HOW BIG THE KINGDOM HAD
00:37:43.93\00:37:47.13
BECOME UNDERNEATH HIM AND A
PLAGUE CAME AND THOUSANDS OF
00:37:47.13\00:37:51.33
PEOPLE WERE DYING FROM THIS
PLAGUE THAT WAS GOING THROUGH
00:37:51.33\00:37:54.44
THE LAND OF ISRAEL AND
DAVID LOOKED UP, WHILE HE WAS IN
00:37:54.44\00:37:56.77
JERUSALEM, AND HE SEES A
MIGHTY ANGEL OF GOD WITH A SWORD
00:37:56.77\00:38:00.68
DRAWN AND HE KNEW THE PLAGUE WAS
NOW SWEEPING DOWN AND GETTING
00:38:00.68\00:38:04.18
READY TO DECIMATE
PEOPLE LIVING IN JERUSALEM.
00:38:04.18\00:38:08.08
AND DAVID SAW THE
ANGEL UP ABOVE MOUNT MORIAH.
00:38:08.08\00:38:12.49
NOW, YOU KNOW WHY
MOUNT MORIAH IS SIGNIFICANT?
00:38:12.49\00:38:15.66
WHERE DID ABRAHAM
BRING ISAAC? MOUNT MORIAH.
00:38:15.66\00:38:20.16
WHERE DID MELCHIZEDEK LIVE?
00:38:20.16\00:38:23.53
MELCHIZEDEK WAS THE KING OF
A PLACE KNOWN AS SALEM, LATER
00:38:23.53\00:38:27.70
KNOWN AS JERU - JERU MEANS CITY
- SALEM - SHALOM MEANS PEACE -
00:38:27.70\00:38:32.94
MELCHIZEDEK WAS THE KING OF
SALEM AND THERE IN THE PROMINENT
00:38:32.94\00:38:36.58
MOUNTAIN WAS THE TEMPLE MOUNT -
MOUNT ZION, MOUNT OF OLIVES, AND
00:38:36.58\00:38:42.28
YOU KNOW WHO OWNED
THE REAL ESTATE UP THERE?
00:38:42.28\00:38:44.92
FIRST THE JEBUSITES OWNED
JERUSALEM AND DAVID CHASED THEM
00:38:44.92\00:38:47.86
OUT - DAVID AND JOAB CHASED THEM
OUT AND HE SAID, 'I'M MAKING
00:38:47.86\00:38:50.19
JERUSALEM MY CAPITAL CITY.'
BUT THE BEST SPOT IN THE CITY OF
00:38:50.19\00:38:54.40
JERUSALEM WAS OWNED
BY A MAN NAMED ORNAN.
00:38:54.40\00:38:58.67
HE HAD A THRESHING FLOOR UP
THERE ON THE HILL BECAUSE THE
00:38:58.67\00:39:02.07
BREEZE WOULD COME AND WHEN THEY
WERE THRESHING WHEAT UP ON THE
00:39:02.07\00:39:04.51
HILL YOU'D GET THE BEST BREEZE.
THE ANGEL WAS RIGHT ABOVE THERE.
00:39:04.51\00:39:08.08
IT'S WHERE ISAAC
HAD BEEN OFFERED.
00:39:08.08\00:39:10.88
AND DAVID WENT TO ORNAN, HE
SAW THE ANGEL - I DON'T KNOW IF
00:39:10.88\00:39:13.82
ORNAN SAW IT. ACTUALLY, I
THINK LATER IT SAYS HE DID.
00:39:13.82\00:39:17.62
HE SAID, 'I NEED TO BUY THIS
THRESHING FLOOR FROM YOU BECAUSE
00:39:17.62\00:39:19.82
I'M GOING TO OFFER SACRIFICE.'
ORNAN SAID, 'I'LL GIVE IT TO
00:39:19.82\00:39:22.19
YOU.' DAVID SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING
00:39:22.19\00:39:23.53
TO OFFER ANYTHING TO GOD
THAT DOESN'T COST ME SOMETHING.
00:39:23.53\00:39:27.20
AND SO HE BOUGHT THE THRESHING
FLOOR, HE MADE AN OFFERING TO
00:39:27.20\00:39:30.03
GOD, THE PLAGUE STOPPED AND THE
LORD SAID TO DAVID, 'THIS IS THE
00:39:30.03\00:39:34.14
PLACE WHERE I MET
WITH YOU WITH THE ANGEL.
00:39:34.14\00:39:36.10
THIS WAS THE PLACE WHERE YOU
INTERCEDED, THIS WAS THE PLACE
00:39:36.10\00:39:38.27
WHERE ISAAC WAS OFFERED AND GOD'
- ISAAC WASN'T OFFERED, HE WAS -
00:39:38.27\00:39:43.71
ISAAC WAS OFFERED, BUT
HE WASN'T KILLED THOUGH.
00:39:43.71\00:39:45.65
THE ANGEL STOPPED HIM.
HE SAID, 'THIS IS THE PLACE
00:39:45.65\00:39:47.98
WHERE I WANT MY
HOUSE.' DAVID WAS SO EXCITED.
00:39:47.98\00:39:50.55
HE WANTED TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR
GOD, BUT GOD SAID, 'NO, DAVID,
00:39:50.55\00:39:53.12
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE TO DO
IT. YOU'VE BEEN A MAN OF WAR.
00:39:53.12\00:39:58.69
NOT ONLY THAT, YOU'VE GOT
INNOCENT BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.
00:39:58.69\00:40:01.73
NOT JUST THE SOLDIER, BUT YOU'VE
GOT INNOCENT BLOOD FROM KILLING
00:40:01.73\00:40:05.53
URIAH, AND ADULTERY' HE SAID,
'NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BUILD
00:40:05.53\00:40:08.27
MY HOUSE.' GOD SAID - AND
THIS IS 1 CHRONICLES 17 - WHAT
00:40:08.27\00:40:12.91
BUILDING REPLACED THE
WILDERNESS TABERNACLE?
00:40:12.91\00:40:15.64
THAT'S THE
QUESTION WE'RE DEALING WITH.
00:40:15.64\00:40:17.58
THE ANSWER IS 1 CHRONICLES 17:11
- NATHAN THE PROPHET SAID TO
00:40:17.58\00:40:22.82
DAVID, "AND IT SHALL BE, WHEN
YOUR DAYS ARE FULFILLED, WHEN
00:40:22.82\00:40:26.15
YOU MUST GO TO BE WITH YOUR
FATHERS, THAT I WILL SET UP YOUR
00:40:26.15\00:40:29.26
SEED AFTER YOU, WHO WILL BE OF
YOUR SONS; AND I WILL ESTABLISH
00:40:29.26\00:40:34.36
HIS KINGDOM. HE
SHALL BUILD ME A HOUSE, AND
00:40:34.36\00:40:37.07
I WILL ESTABLISH
HIS THRONE FOREVER."
00:40:37.07\00:40:39.03
NOW, IF YOU CIRCLE IN
YOUR BIBLE, I WOULD CIRCLE 1
00:40:39.03\00:40:43.41
CHRONICLES 17, VERSES 11 AND 12,
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A
00:40:43.41\00:40:47.41
DUAL PROPHECY. YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN BY DUAL PROPHECY?
00:40:47.41\00:40:51.35
THERE ARE SOME DUAL PROPHECIES
- MATTHEW 24 - JESUS IS TALKING
00:40:51.35\00:40:54.15
ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF
JERUSALEM; HE'S ALSO TALKING
00:40:54.15\00:40:56.28
ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD.
THIS PROPHECY, NATHAN IS TALKING
00:40:56.28\00:40:59.92
ABOUT THE SON OF DAVID, NAMED
SOLOMON, THAT WOULD BUILD THE
00:40:59.92\00:41:03.76
TEMPLE, WHICH WAS
WHAT WAS ON DAVID'S HEART.
00:41:03.76\00:41:06.49
BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT'S
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
00:41:06.49\00:41:09.20
'I WILL RAISE UP YOUR SON
WHO WILL COME AFTER YOU; HE WILL
00:41:09.20\00:41:11.60
BUILD ME A HOUSE THAT WILL
LAST FOREVER.' WHO IS THE SON OF
00:41:11.60\00:41:15.47
DAVID THAT WAS GOING TO BUILD
A HOUSE THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER?
00:41:15.47\00:41:18.37
>>JESUS. >>JESUS - DIFFERENT
00:41:18.37\00:41:20.44
KIND OF TEMPLE. WE'LL
TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.
00:41:20.44\00:41:23.41
NOW, TODAY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE THREE PHYSICAL TEMPLES THAT
00:41:23.41\00:41:26.78
YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE.
TABERNACLE, TEMPLE #2 NOW IS
00:41:26.78\00:41:30.29
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE, AND IT WAS
THE APEX OF GLORIOUS TEMPLES.
00:41:30.29\00:41:37.86
THIS GUY, HENRI MOUHOT, FOUND
THE ANGKOR WAT TEMPLE, HE SAID
00:41:37.86\00:41:42.30
IT WAS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE - I THOUGHT,
00:41:42.30\00:41:44.27
WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
00:41:44.27\00:41:45.50
YOU HAVE NO
PHOTOGRAPHS OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
00:41:45.50\00:41:47.80
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WAS ONE OF THE
WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
00:41:47.80\00:41:51.24
YOU LOOK AT HOW MUCH GOLD -
LITERALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
00:41:51.24\00:41:55.11
GOLD - DAVID HAD CONQUERED
ALL THESE OTHER NATIONS - HE
00:41:55.11\00:41:57.88
CONQUERED THEM, HE TOOK THEIR
MONEY, THEY WERE ALL PAYING
00:41:57.88\00:41:59.51
TAXES. DAVID HAD
MOUNTAINS OF GOLD AND
00:41:59.51\00:42:02.52
SILVER AND JEWELS WHEN HE
CEDED THE THRONE TO SOLOMON.
00:42:02.52\00:42:08.59
SOLOMON CAME INTO POWER AND
IT SAYS SILVER WAS LIKE STONES.
00:42:08.59\00:42:12.36
SO WHEN THEY BUILT THE TEMPLE OF
THE LORD, HE WANTED IT TO BE THE
00:42:12.36\00:42:15.83
MOST GLORIOUS TEMPLE IN
THE WORLD BECAUSE IT WAS FOR
00:42:15.83\00:42:17.77
JEHOVAH. IT NEEDED TO OUTSHINE
THE TEMPLES OF ASHORETH, AND
00:42:17.77\00:42:21.57
BAAL, AND MOLOCH AND
ALL THE OTHER PAGAN GODS.
00:42:21.57\00:42:24.84
IT WAS TO BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN
ANYTHING IN EGYPT - MAYBE NOT
00:42:24.84\00:42:27.41
BIGGER, BUT MORE BEAUTIFUL.
AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.
00:42:27.41\00:42:31.38
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DISCIPLES,
THEY'RE WALKING ALONG WITH
00:42:31.38\00:42:33.25
JESUS, THEY SAID,
'OH' - THEY LIVED THERE!
00:42:33.25\00:42:36.02
- THEY SAID, 'LET'S GO LOOK
AT THE STONES OF THE TEMPLE.' I
00:42:36.02\00:42:39.59
MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GREW
UP IN NEW YORK CITY, PEOPLE COME
00:42:39.59\00:42:42.22
FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY, THEY
LOOK AT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY,
00:42:42.22\00:42:44.39
BUT I SAW IT EVERY DAY AND
I SAID, 'EH, NO BIG DEAL.' YOU
00:42:44.39\00:42:48.06
THINK THEY WOULD BE,
YOU KNOW, BORED WITH IT.
00:42:48.06\00:42:51.00
THEY WERE STILL IMPRESSED WITH
THE GLORY OF THEIR OWN BUILDING,
00:42:51.00\00:42:54.24
IT WAS THAT IMPRESSIVE.
AND SO - AND THAT WAS THE
00:42:54.24\00:42:57.54
REBUILT VERSION
OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
00:42:57.54\00:43:01.28
AND SO THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL,
GLORIOUS BUILDING, AND THERE WAS
00:43:01.28\00:43:04.71
SUCH REVERENCE WHEN IT WAS BEING
BUILT - 1 KINGS 6, VERSE 7, "AND
00:43:04.71\00:43:11.09
THE TEMPLE, WHEN IT WAS BEING
BUILT, WAS BUILT WITH STONE
00:43:11.09\00:43:13.79
FINISHED AT THE QUARRY, SO THAT
NO HAMMER OR CHISEL OR ANY IRON
00:43:13.79\00:43:17.19
TOOL WAS HEARD IN THE TEMPLE
WHILE IT WAS BEING BUILT."
00:43:17.19\00:43:20.43
THERE'S SUCH RE - THEY DO THE
CARVING AND THE - THEY FOUND THE
00:43:20.43\00:43:24.13
PLACE WHERE THEY GOT THE
STONES FOR SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
00:43:24.13\00:43:26.57
IT WAS PROBABLY AROUND FIVE
MILES AWAY AND THEY HAD GREAT -
00:43:26.57\00:43:31.37
SOLOMON HAD A MASSIVE WORKFORCE
- THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
00:43:31.37\00:43:34.31
PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED
IN BUILDING BOTH HIS TEMPLE -
00:43:34.31\00:43:37.31
HIS HOUSE,
RATHER - AND THE TEMPLE.
00:43:37.31\00:43:39.38
AND THEY'D BRING ALL THE STONES
AND THEY PUT THEM QUIETLY INTO
00:43:39.38\00:43:42.08
PLACE AND THIS
REVERENT TEMPLE GREW UP.
00:43:42.08\00:43:46.05
AND WHEN SOLOMON PRAYS AND
HE DEDICATES THE TEMPLE - THIS
00:43:46.05\00:43:49.12
DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, BUT
AFTER HIS DEDICATION PRAYER - IT
00:43:49.12\00:43:54.03
WASN'T JUST A BUILDING - FIRE
CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN
00:43:54.03\00:43:58.60
- ON A CLEAR SKY - IT WASN'T
LIGHTNING - AND DEVOURED THE
00:43:58.60\00:44:01.64
SACRIFICE, SHOWING GOD'S
APPROVAL THAT HE HAD ACCEPTED
00:44:01.64\00:44:04.74
THEIR SACRIFICE, THAT HE HAD
HEARD SOLOMON'S PRAYER, AND THE
00:44:04.74\00:44:07.91
BIBLE SAYS THE GLORY OF THE LORD
SO FILLED THE TEMPLE THAT THE
00:44:07.91\00:44:11.41
PRIESTS COULD NOT GO IN.
THEY TRIED TO VEIL THEMSELVES
00:44:11.41\00:44:14.22
LIKE FIREMEN WITH REFLECTIVE
GEAR - AND THEY TRIED TO GO IN
00:44:14.22\00:44:17.09
TO DO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO
DO AND THEY SAID, 'WE CAN'T DO
00:44:17.09\00:44:19.12
IT. THERE'S TOO MUCH GLORY IN
THERE.' REMEMBER WHEN MOSES CAME
00:44:19.12\00:44:21.99
OFF THE MOUNTAIN, HIS FACE WAS
SHINING AND THEY SAID, 'CAN YOU
00:44:21.99\00:44:23.86
PLEASE COVER YOUR
FACE?' BECAUSE OF THE GLORY.
00:44:23.86\00:44:26.83
AND SO GOD HAD REALLY
DEMONSTRATED HIS APPROVAL.
00:44:26.83\00:44:30.57
BY THE WAY, THAT ALSO HAPPENED
WITH THE WILDERNESS TABERNACLE.
00:44:30.57\00:44:33.90
ONCE IT WAS INAUGURATED - IT WAS
ALL BUILT - WHEN THEY DEDICATED
00:44:33.90\00:44:37.17
IT, FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD
OUT OF HEAVEN ON THE SACRIFICE.
00:44:37.17\00:44:42.24
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN
THEY REBUILT SOLOMON'S TEMPLE -
00:44:42.24\00:44:47.15
THE THIRD TEMPLE -
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
00:44:47.15\00:44:50.15
BUT I'LL GET TO
THAT IN JUST A SECOND.
00:44:50.15\00:44:51.92
SO SOLOMON'S TEMPLE LASTED A
LITTLE MORE THAN 400 YEARS AND
00:44:51.92\00:44:56.39
IT WAS THE ICON OF THE NATION.
00:44:56.39\00:44:59.23
IN FACT, WHEN THE KINGDOM OF
ISRAEL SPLIT, KING JEROBOAM, THE
00:44:59.23\00:45:06.27
SON OF NEBAT, WAS AFRAID -
HE WAS THE KING OF THE NORTHERN
00:45:06.27\00:45:09.07
KINGDOMS - HE SAID, 'WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO MAKE OUR OWN TEMPLE
00:45:09.07\00:45:11.31
AND OUR OWN IDOLS - OUR OWN
ALTARS,' HE SAID, 'OR THE PEOPLE
00:45:11.31\00:45:14.78
ARE GOING TO GO DOWN AND
SACRIFICE AT SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.'
00:45:14.78\00:45:17.61
AND SO HE CHANGED THE RELIGION
TO KEEP THEM FROM GOING DOWN TO
00:45:17.61\00:45:21.35
JERUSALEM BECAUSE THAT WAS THE
PLACE GOD HAD DEDICATED - HE HAD
00:45:21.35\00:45:24.82
SET ASIDE FOR THEM TO GO.
AND HE HAD MET WITH THEM -
00:45:24.82\00:45:27.89
THEY'D SEEN HIS
PRESENCE THERE BEFORE.
00:45:27.89\00:45:30.76
SO, BECAUSE OF THEIR
UNFAITHFULNESS - IT'S JUST
00:45:30.76\00:45:36.20
ALWAYS SAD TO THINK
ABOUT SOLOMON'S TEMPLE BEING
00:45:36.20\00:45:39.97
DESTROYED, BUT
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
00:45:39.97\00:45:42.64
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR CAME ALONG
IN ABOUT 587 AND HE DESTROYED
00:45:42.64\00:45:48.41
THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON - AND YOU
CAN READ THIS - IT WAS BECAUSE
00:45:48.41\00:45:53.38
OF YEARS OF THEIR SIN
AND THE SINS OF MANESSEH.
00:45:53.38\00:45:56.62
HE DEALT WITH THEIR BACKSLIDING
AND FINALLY SAID, 'ENOUGH IS
00:45:56.62\00:46:00.22
ENOUGH' AND HE WITHDREW HIS
PRESENCE - IT'S LIKE ICHABOD -
00:46:00.22\00:46:04.76
THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED. 2
CHRONICLES 36:18, "AND ALL OF
00:46:04.76\00:46:09.43
THE ARTICLES FROM THE HOUSE
OF GOD, GREAT AND SMALL, THE
00:46:09.43\00:46:12.27
TREASURES OF THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD, AND THE TREASURES OF THE
00:46:12.27\00:46:15.14
KING AND OF HIS LEADERS,
ALL THESE HE TOOK TO BABYLON.
00:46:15.14\00:46:18.94
THEN THEY BURNED THE HOUSE
OF GOD, BROKE DOWN THE WALL OF
00:46:18.94\00:46:22.04
JERUSALEM, BURNED ALL ITS
PALACES" - DID YOU GET THAT?
00:46:22.04\00:46:24.98
- THEY BURNT THE HOUSE OF GOD
- THEY "BROKE DOWN THE WALL OF
00:46:24.98\00:46:28.55
JERUSALEM, BURNED ALL ITS
PALACES WITH FIRE, AND DESTROYED
00:46:28.55\00:46:31.05
ALL ITS PRECIOUS POSSESSIONS"
NOW, IT LISTS THE ARTICLES THAT
00:46:31.05\00:46:35.19
WERE CARRIED OFF TO BABYLON
AND IT NEVER MENTIONS THE ARK.
00:46:35.19\00:46:40.36
IT IS BELIEVED - AND, BY
THE WAY, YOU'LL FIND THIS IN THE
00:46:40.36\00:46:42.60
BOOK PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS
- NO, PROPHETS AND KINGS - THAT
00:46:42.60\00:46:47.10
JEREMIAH, WHO FORETOLD
THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM -
00:46:47.10\00:46:50.21
JEREMIAH WHO FORETOLD THE
BURNING OF THE TEMPLE - HE AND
00:46:50.21\00:46:54.01
SOME PRIESTS, ONE NIGHT, QUIETLY
PUT THE ARK ON THEIR SHOULDERS -
00:46:54.01\00:46:58.81
THEY COVERED IT - THEY CARRIED
IT TO A CAVE - IF YOU'VE EVER
00:46:58.81\00:47:03.02
BEEN TO ISRAEL, UNDERNEATH
JERUSALEM IT IS A HONEYCOMB OF
00:47:03.02\00:47:07.16
CAVES AND TOMBS AND SO IT'S EASY
TO BELIEVE - THEY PUT IT IN A
00:47:07.16\00:47:12.13
TOMB, THEY SEALED AND HID
THE ENTRANCE SOMEHOW, AND IT HAS
00:47:12.13\00:47:15.73
NEVER BEEN SEEN SINCE.
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF
00:47:15.73\00:47:17.87
SOMEONE WOULD FIND THAT.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF RUMORS I'VE
00:47:17.87\00:47:20.50
HEARD, 'OH, THEY FOUND THE ARK.'
BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT
00:47:20.50\00:47:23.20
THEY FOUND THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE
00:47:23.20\00:47:25.84
EVEN MADE MOVIES ABOUT IT
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IT IS
00:47:25.84\00:47:27.74
MISSING. SOME SAY, 'OH, IT WENT
OFF TO ETHIOPIA' BECAUSE SOLOMON
00:47:27.74\00:47:31.11
GAVE IT TO HIS
GIRLFRIEND, THE QUEEN OF SHEBA.
00:47:31.11\00:47:33.31
(LAUGHTER) HAVE
YOU HEARD THAT ONE?
00:47:33.31\00:47:36.52
THAT'S - NOW, PEOPLE, I DON'T
WANT TO OFFEND YOU IF YOU'RE
00:47:36.52\00:47:39.02
FROM ETHIOPIA, BUT THAT'S
NOT TRUE. BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE,
00:47:39.02\00:47:41.76
AFTER QUEEN OF SHEBA - YEARS
AFTER - IT'S STILL MENTIONS THE
00:47:41.76\00:47:45.19
ARK SPECIFICALLY BEING IN
THE TEMPLE. YOU HEAR OF IT BEING
00:47:45.19\00:47:48.83
MENTIONED UP PAST THE TIME OF
HEZEKIAH, SO WE HAVE REASON TO
00:47:48.83\00:47:52.73
BELIEVE IT WAS STILL THERE
DURING THE TIME OF JEREMIAH.
00:47:52.73\00:47:57.34
BUT IT WAS DESTROYED.
SEVENTY YEARS THEY HAVE NO
00:47:57.34\00:47:59.84
TEMPLE, THEN FINALLY, WHEN
THEY'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO
00:47:59.84\00:48:04.01
THE PROMISED LAND, WHAT'S
THE FIRST THING THEY WANT TO DO?
00:48:04.01\00:48:07.15
IF YOU GO TO THE BOOK OF EZRA
- EZRA CHAPTER 1 - WE'RE ALMOST
00:48:07.15\00:48:11.55
DONE - I TOLD YOU QUESTION
#10 WOULD BE A LONG ONE.
00:48:11.55\00:48:14.72
EZRA 1, I'M GOING TO READ VERSES
1 THROUGH 3, "NOW IN THE FIRST
00:48:14.72\00:48:18.56
YEAR OF CYRUS KING OF PERSIA,
THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD BY THE
00:48:18.56\00:48:23.06
MOUTH OF JEREMIAH MIGHT BE
FULFILLED, THE LORD STIRRED UP
00:48:23.06\00:48:26.57
THE SPIRIT OF CYRUS KING
OF PERSIA, SO THAT HE MADE A
00:48:26.57\00:48:29.47
PROCLAMATION THROUGHOUT ALL
HIS KINGDOM, AND ALSO PUT IT IN
00:48:29.47\00:48:32.77
WRITING, SAYING," - NOW CYRUS
WAS INFLUENCED BY, YOU KNOW, THE
00:48:32.77\00:48:37.25
GODLY IMPACT MADE BY SHADRACH,
MESHACH, ABEDNEGO, AND DANIEL.
00:48:37.25\00:48:42.35
CYRUS LIVED DURING THE TIME OF
DANIEL AND HE SAID THIS IN HIS
00:48:42.35\00:48:46.89
DECREE: "'THUS SAYS CYRUS KING
OF PERSIA:'" - YOU'RE ACTUALLY
00:48:46.89\00:48:51.23
READING PART OF THE BIBLE COMING
FROM PERSIA NOW - "' THUS SAYS
00:48:51.23\00:48:54.20
CYRUS KING OF PERSIA: 'ALL THE
KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH THE LORD
00:48:54.20\00:48:58.07
GOD OF HEAVEN HAS GIVEN ME.
AND HE HAS COMMANDED ME TO BUILD
00:48:58.07\00:49:01.67
HIM A HOUSE AT JERUSALEM''"
- ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
00:49:01.67\00:49:04.74
CYRUS BELIEVED IN
THE LORD GOD JEHOVAH.
00:49:04.74\00:49:07.54
HE RECOGNIZED THE LORD
GOD JEHOVAH GAVE HIM ALL THE
00:49:07.54\00:49:11.18
KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH - HE WANTS
"''ME TO BUILD HIM A HOUSE AT
00:49:11.18\00:49:13.65
JERUSALEM WHICH IS IN JUDAH. WHO
IS AMONG YOU OF ALL HIS PEOPLE?
00:49:13.65\00:49:18.35
MAY HIS GOD BE WITH HIM, AND LET
HIM GO UP TO JERUSALEM WHICH IS
00:49:18.35\00:49:21.89
IN JUDAH, AND BUILD THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL (HE IS
00:49:21.89\00:49:26.96
GOD), WHICH IS IN JERUSALEM.''"
WOW, WHAT A DECLARATION FROM THE
00:49:26.96\00:49:31.27
KING OF PERSIA, THAT
JEHOVAH IS THE TRUE GOD.
00:49:31.27\00:49:35.30
SO MANY OF THEM WENT, DURING
THIS SECOND EXODUS, THEY WENT
00:49:35.30\00:49:38.94
FROM BABYLON - HIS PEOPLE CAME
OUT OF BABYLON INTO THE PROMISED
00:49:38.94\00:49:42.48
LAND AND, YOU KNOW, FIRST
NEHEMIAH TRIED TO HELP THEM GET
00:49:42.48\00:49:45.98
THE WALLS BUILT AND THE STREET;
IT SAYS IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9 IT
00:49:45.98\00:49:49.58
WOULD BE DONE DURING TROUBLOUS
TIMES. AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
00:49:49.58\00:49:52.75
THEY HAD A LOT OF TROUBLE DURING
THAT BUILDING AND IT - IT TOOK
00:49:52.75\00:49:59.59
PLACE OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT
25 YEARS BECAUSE IT KEPT GETTING
00:49:59.59\00:50:02.36
INTERRUPTED AND THEN THE
SAMARITANS WOULD FIGHT AGAINST
00:50:02.36\00:50:04.63
THEM AND THEY'D GET A
DECREE TO STOP THE BUILDING.
00:50:04.63\00:50:07.04
AND THEN THEY GOT ANOTHER DECREE
TO START THE BUILDING AGAIN AND
00:50:07.04\00:50:11.61
FINALLY, UNDER THE PREACHING OF
HAGGAI, AND YOU CAN READ THIS IN
00:50:11.61\00:50:15.28
HAGGAI 2, VERSE 6, HE SAID,
'GOD'S NOT GOING TO BLESS YOUR
00:50:15.28\00:50:18.38
HOUSE IF YOU NEGLECT HIS HOUSE.
THEY'D STARTED THE BUILDING AND
00:50:18.38\00:50:22.78
THEN STOPPED AND THEY HAD
THIS HALFWAY BUILT BUILDING.
00:50:22.78\00:50:25.82
DO YOU KNOW THAT THE WASHINGTON
MONUMENT TOOK LIKE 40 YEARS TO
00:50:25.82\00:50:29.46
BUILD? THE
WASHINGTON MONUMENT WENT UP
00:50:29.46\00:50:33.56
- MAYBE IT WAS 20 YEARS - IT
WENT UP THE FIRST, I DON'T KNOW,
00:50:33.56\00:50:38.17
200 FEET OR SO AND THEN THEY RAN
OUT OF MONEY AND THEY STOPPED.
00:50:38.17\00:50:43.87
AND EVERYBODY IN WASHINGTON
HAD TO LOOK AT THIS HALF-BUILT
00:50:43.87\00:50:46.37
MONUMENT FOR DECADES.
AND THEN AFTER THE CIVIL WAR,
00:50:46.37\00:50:52.08
THEY GOT A GROUP TOGETHER AND
THEY SAID, 'LET'S FINISH IT.'
00:50:52.08\00:50:54.25
AND SO THEN THEY
FINISHED BUILDING THE
00:50:54.25\00:50:55.82
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
BUT IT WAS A LONG PROJECT.
00:50:55.82\00:50:58.49
AND IF YOU GO TO WASHINGTON,
YOU LOOK AT THE MONUMENT.
00:50:58.49\00:51:00.69
YOU CAN EASILY SEE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST 150
00:51:00.69\00:51:05.39
OR 200 FEET AND THE REMAINDER.
THE COLOR OF THE STONE IS
00:51:05.39\00:51:08.60
DIFFERENT. THEY HAD
TO GO TO A DIFFERENT
00:51:08.60\00:51:09.96
QUARRY SO THE
STONE DOESN'T MATCH.
00:51:09.96\00:51:12.67
YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT IN
SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
00:51:12.67\00:51:14.94
WELL THAT'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
THEY'D LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR
00:51:14.94\00:51:17.07
THE TEMPLE AND THEY STARTED
BUILDING - AND THEY STOPPED.
00:51:17.07\00:51:20.08
AND EVEN AFTER THEY HAD
PERMISSION TO FINISH - HAGGAI
00:51:20.08\00:51:23.14
STARTED PREACHING. HE SAID,
'YOU NEED TO FINISH BUILDING.
00:51:23.14\00:51:25.01
GOD'LL BLESS YOU.' THEY SAID,
'BUT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE
00:51:25.01\00:51:27.52
THE SAME EVIDENCE OF HIS
SPIRIT.' - LISTEN TO WHAT HAGGAI
00:51:27.52\00:51:29.38
SAID, "FOR THUS SAYS THE LORD
OF HOSTS: 'ONCE MORE, IT IS A
00:51:29.38\00:51:34.39
LITTLE WHILE, I WILL SHAKE THE
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH, THE SEA
00:51:34.39\00:51:37.33
AND THE DRY LAND. I
WILL SHAKE ALL NATIONS AND
00:51:37.33\00:51:40.46
THEY SHALL COME TO THE DESIRE
OF NATIONS AND I WILL FILL THIS
00:51:40.46\00:51:45.37
TEMPLE WITH GLORY SAYS THE LORD
OF HOSTS.' HE SAID, 'I'M GOING
00:51:45.37\00:51:49.60
TO FILL THIS TEMPLE - THIS
HUMBLE TEMPLE.' YOU KNOW, WHEN
00:51:49.60\00:51:52.17
THEY LAID THE FOUNDATION
OF EZRA'S TEMPLE, THE OLD MEN
00:51:52.17\00:51:55.88
WHO HAD SEEN
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE STARTED CRYING.
00:51:55.88\00:51:59.18
THE PEOPLE WERE REJOICING,
THE OLD MEN WERE CRYING.
00:51:59.18\00:52:01.08
IT SAYS YOU COULDN'T TELL THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CRYING
00:52:01.08\00:52:03.05
AND THE REJOICING. THE
REASON THE OLD PEOPLE WERE
00:52:03.05\00:52:05.85
CRYING IS THE TEMPLE BUILT
BY CYRUS AND EZRA WAS SO MUCH
00:52:05.85\00:52:11.89
SMALLER IN SCALE AND GLORY THAN
THE ONE THAT SOLOMON HAD BUILT
00:52:11.89\00:52:16.36
THAT THEY SAID, 'OH,
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO US?
00:52:16.36\00:52:18.33
THIS IS SO PITIFUL - COMPARED'
- AND SO THEY WERE CRYING - THE
00:52:18.33\00:52:21.90
OLD MEN, THEY REMEMBERED
THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF THE BIG
00:52:21.90\00:52:24.37
GLORIOUS TEMPLE. SO IT WAS A
LITTLE MORE HUMBLE. IT DIDN'T
00:52:24.37\00:52:28.24
HAVE ALL THE GOLD AND
MATERIALS, BUT GOD SAID,
00:52:28.24\00:52:31.38
'DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
00:52:31.38\00:52:33.11
THE GLORY OF THIS SECOND
TEMPLE IS GOING TO BE GREATER.'
00:52:33.11\00:52:36.69
WHAT WAS GOING TO MAKE THE GLORY
OF THE THIRD - SECOND TEMPLE -
00:52:36.69\00:52:40.66
PHYSICALLY, THIRD TABERNACLE
- WHAT WAS TO MAKE IT GREATER?
00:52:40.66\00:52:44.73
CHRIST WOULD ACTUALLY ENTER
THAT BUILDING AND TEACH THERE.
00:52:44.73\00:52:49.56
AND WE'VE GOT SOME PROPHECIES
THAT TALK ABOUT THAT: MALACHI
00:52:49.56\00:52:55.07
3:1, "'BEHOLD, I SEND MY
MESSENGER, AND HE WILL PREPARE
00:52:55.07\00:52:58.21
THE WAY BEFORE ME. AND
THE LORD, WHOM YOU SEEK,
00:52:58.21\00:53:01.11
WILL SUDDENLY COME TO HIS
TEMPLE, EVEN THE MESSENGER
00:53:01.11\00:53:04.08
OF THE COVENANT,
IN WHOM YOU DELIGHT.
00:53:04.08\00:53:05.75
BEHOLD, HE IS COMING,'
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS."
00:53:05.75\00:53:08.38
SO THIS TEMPLE IS THE ONE THAT
JESUS WOULD ACTUALLY PREACH IN,
00:53:08.38\00:53:12.95
BUT CHRIST SAID IT
WAS NOT THE FINAL TEMPLE.
00:53:12.95\00:53:16.19
JESUS SAID, 'YOUR HOUSE
IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.
00:53:16.19\00:53:20.90
HE SAID, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE'
- AND THIS IS WHERE WE STARTED
00:53:20.90\00:53:23.06
TODAY - HE SAID, 'DESTROY THIS
TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS' - JOHN
00:53:23.06\00:53:25.33
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 18 - 'AND
IN THREE DAYS I WILL MAKE ONE
00:53:25.33\00:53:28.30
WITHOUT HANDS.' MATTER OF FACT,
WHEN CHRIST HUNG ON THE CROSS
00:53:28.30\00:53:33.58
THEY TALKED
ABOUT THAT STATEMENT.
00:53:33.58\00:53:36.24
WHEN THEY TRIED TO FIND
WITNESSES TO AGREE TO DESTROY
00:53:36.24\00:53:39.78
JESUS, THE ONLY TWO WITNESSES
THEY COULD GET TO AGREE WERE THE
00:53:39.78\00:53:43.08
ONES WHO SAID, 'WE HEARD HIM
SAY, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE MADE
00:53:43.08\00:53:46.35
WITH HANDS AND I WILL MAKE
ONE WITHOUT HANDS.' WHICH CHRIST
00:53:46.35\00:53:50.16
PROBABLY DID SAY
SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO THAT.
00:53:50.16\00:53:53.13
WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?
NOW WE'RE TRANSITIONING FROM THE
00:53:53.13\00:53:56.13
PHYSICAL TEMPLE TO THE SPIRITUAL
TEMPLE. WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE
00:53:56.13\00:53:59.70
CROSS, WHAT HAPPENED?
HE SAID, 'ELOI, ELOI, LAMA
00:53:59.70\00:54:05.07
SABACHTHANI' - 'WHY
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
00:54:05.07\00:54:07.44
HE CRIED OUT, 'GOD, RECEIVE MY
SPIRIT.' HE GAVE UP THE GHOST,
00:54:07.44\00:54:10.71
THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE, AND YOU
READ IN MATTHEW 27:51, "THEN,
00:54:10.71\00:54:14.85
BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE
WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO
00:54:14.85\00:54:19.35
BOTTOM;" - AFTER JESUS SPENT
YEARS TEACHING IN THAT TEMPLE
00:54:19.35\00:54:22.42
AND THEY REJECTED HIS TRUTH, HE
DIED ON THE CROSS, THE VEIL WAS
00:54:22.42\00:54:26.86
TORN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, THE
PURPOSE OF THE EARTHLY TEMPLE
00:54:26.86\00:54:29.83
WAS GONE. NOW HE WAS
TRANSFERRING TO THE SPIRITUAL
00:54:29.83\00:54:34.34
TEMPLES. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THAT IN OUR NEXT
00:54:34.34\00:54:36.44
PRESENTATION. THE PURPOSE FOR
THE EARTHLY TEMPLE - IT WOULD
00:54:36.44\00:54:39.97
LATER BE
DESTROYED BY THE ROMANS.
00:54:39.97\00:54:43.01
NOW IT'S INTERESTING; CHRIST
DIED ON THE CROSS AND THEY WENT
00:54:43.01\00:54:47.48
BY AND THEY SHOOK THEIR HEADS
AND THEY SAID TO HIM - THIS IS
00:54:47.48\00:54:49.82
MARK 15:29, "AND THOSE
WHO PASSED BY BLASPHEMED HIM,
00:54:49.82\00:54:54.02
WAGGING THEIR
HEADS AND SAYING, 'AHA!
00:54:54.02\00:54:55.82
YOU WHO DESTROY THE TEMPLE
AND BUILD IT IN THREE DAYS, SAVE
00:54:55.82\00:54:58.26
YOURSELF, AND COME
DOWN FROM THE CROSS!'"
00:54:58.26\00:55:01.06
BUT WHEN HE SAID HE WAS GOING
TO DESTROY THE TEMPLE AND RAISE
00:55:01.06\00:55:03.13
IT UP, WHAT WAS
HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:55:03.13\00:55:04.93
>>HIS BODY. >>THE
TEMPLE OF HIS BODY.
00:55:04.93\00:55:06.84
AND WHAT IS THE CHURCH
CALLED? >>THE BODY OF CHRIST.
00:55:06.84\00:55:09.74
>>HE WAS GOING TO BUILD
A DIFFERENT KIND OF TEMPLE.
00:55:09.74\00:55:12.77
NOW CHRIST, WHEN HE HUNG ON THE
CROSS, HE WAS THE HOUSE OF GOD,
00:55:12.77\00:55:18.28
BECAUSE HE WAS THE BRIDGE
THAT JACOB DREAMED ABOUT THAT
00:55:18.28\00:55:23.02
CONNECTED EARTH TO HEAVEN.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, YEARS AGO,
00:55:23.02\00:55:29.19
I REMEMBER FIRST READING ABOUT
THIS WHERE, I THINK IT WAS,
00:55:29.19\00:55:32.13
ROBERT MCCULLOUGH, HE WAS THE
TYCOON WHO BUILT THE MCCULLOUGH
00:55:32.13\00:55:36.56
CHAINSAWS - THEY'RE
NOT EVEN AROUND ANYMORE.
00:55:36.56\00:55:38.23
ANYONE REMEMBER THE
MCCULLOUGH CHAINSAWS?
00:55:38.23\00:55:41.00
MCCULLOUGH MOTORS? A VERY
WEALTHY MAN - HE GOT AN IDEA.
00:55:41.00\00:55:44.67
HE HEARD LONDON BRIDGE WAS
FALLING DOWN, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE
00:55:44.67\00:55:46.47
SONG? AND THEY WERE GOING TO
DISMANTLE IT AND THROW IT AWAY.
00:55:46.47\00:55:50.38
HE SAID, 'THAT ICONIC BRIDGE?
YOU'RE GOING TO THROW IT AWAY?'
00:55:50.38\00:55:52.51
HE SAID, 'I'LL BUY IT.'
HE BOUGHT IT FOR A SONG.
00:55:52.51\00:55:55.98
THE EXPENSIVE THING WAS HE
DISASSEMBLED IT PIECE BY PIECE
00:55:55.98\00:55:59.69
AND SHIPPED IT TO AMERICA, THEN
HE TRUCKED IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY
00:55:59.69\00:56:05.83
BECAUSE HE HAD BOUGHT THE
LARGEST SINGLE PRIVATE PIECE OF
00:56:05.83\00:56:08.76
LAND IN ARIZONA - 26 ACRES -
NEAR WHAT WE CALL LAKE HAVASU
00:56:08.76\00:56:14.04
AND HE SET UP THE LONDON BRIDGE
OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT
00:56:14.04\00:56:18.54
AND PEOPLE SAID, 'YOU'RE A
MANIAC.' HE SAID, 'NO, IF I
00:56:18.54\00:56:20.48
BUILD THE BRIDGE
PEOPLE WILL COME.
00:56:20.48\00:56:22.81
AND HE DID. HE PUT
THE BRIDGE THERE AND THE
00:56:22.81\00:56:25.45
WHOLE TOURIST ATTRACTION GREW
UP AROUND THE BRIDGE AND LAKE
00:56:25.45\00:56:28.65
HAVASU NOW HAS
ABOUT 55,000 PEOPLE.
00:56:28.65\00:56:31.72
BECAUSE HE PUT A
BRIDGE THERE, PEOPLE CAME.
00:56:31.72\00:56:34.92
PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO BRIDGES.
WELL, JESUS IS A BRIDGE.
00:56:34.92\00:56:38.89
MAN IS SEPARATED FROM
GOD. THE WHOLE TEMPLE WAS ABOUT
00:56:38.89\00:56:41.23
RECONNECTING HEAVEN AND
EARTH AND JESUS IS THAT CONDUIT.
00:56:41.23\00:56:46.30
CHRIST SAID TO NATHANIEL,
'HEREAFTER YOU WILL SEE ANGELS
00:56:46.30\00:56:50.24
OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING
ON THE SON OF MAN.' EVERYTHING
00:56:50.24\00:56:54.51
THAT YOU LOOKED AT IN THE
TEMPLE WAS ALL ABOUT JESUS.
00:56:54.51\00:56:57.45
BECAUSE CHRIST IS THE LAMB, HE
IS THE PRIEST, HE IS THE BREAD,
00:56:57.45\00:57:00.62
HE'S THE LIVING WATER, HE
IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
00:57:00.62\00:57:03.59
HE IS EVERYTHING WE
NEED TO RE-ACCESS GOD.
00:57:03.59\00:57:06.82
AND SO I HAVE A LOT OF IMPORTANT
THINGS TO SHARE WITH YOU STILL
00:57:06.82\00:57:10.53
ON THE SUBJECT OF THE TEMPLE AND
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT NEXT TIME,
00:57:10.53\00:57:13.09
BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
JESUS - IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND
00:57:13.09\00:57:16.36
IT POINTS US TO GOD. THY WAY, O
GOD, IS IN THE SANCTUARY. AMEN?
