The prophecy that
we are talking about
00:00:34.43\00:00:36.33
is here in Daniel
8:14, where that reads,
00:00:36.36\00:00:40.12
"For two thousand
three hundred days,
00:00:40.15\00:00:42.75
then the sanctuary
shall be cleansed."
00:00:42.78\00:00:45.78
And there its two basic
elements that we see here,
00:00:45.81\00:00:48.55
we see the time
element the 2,300 days
00:00:48.58\00:00:50.79
and we see the event the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:00:50.82\00:00:54.34
But take your Bibles
and let's look at Daniel 8.
00:00:54.37\00:00:58.04
It's the Old Testament
page 636 or thereabouts.
00:00:58.07\00:01:02.45
We're gonna look at the context.
00:01:02.48\00:01:03.75
Whenever we look at a Bible text
00:01:03.78\00:01:05.29
we always ought to give some
consideration to the context.
00:01:05.32\00:01:08.90
And the context tells
us something very important
00:01:08.93\00:01:10.99
about the 2,300 day prophecy.
00:01:11.02\00:01:13.06
We are looking at
verses 15-17, 15-17.
00:01:13.09\00:01:18.97
And so, very next
verse "When I, Daniel,
00:01:19.00\00:01:21.25
had seen the vision
and I sought to understood
00:01:21.28\00:01:24.19
to behold standing before me
was one who looked like a man"
00:01:24.22\00:01:28.70
actually, an angel " and
I hear the voice of a man's
00:01:28.73\00:01:31.54
between the banks of the Ulai,
00:01:31.57\00:01:33.26
and he called out,
and said, 'Gabriel.'
00:01:33.29\00:01:35.85
" We know this is the
angel Gabriel, don't we?
00:01:35.88\00:01:38.60
"Give this man an understanding"
00:01:38.63\00:01:41.03
an understanding of "the vision.
00:01:41.06\00:01:43.06
And so he came near
to where I was standing,
00:01:43.09\00:01:45.32
and when he came I was
frightened and fell on my face,
00:01:45.35\00:01:48.35
but he said to me, 'Son of man,
00:01:48.38\00:01:51.27
understand that
the vision pertains
00:01:51.30\00:01:53.36
to the time of the end.'
00:01:53.39\00:01:55.24
"That is a clue in the context.
00:01:55.27\00:01:58.86
And we would
might, we might suspect
00:01:58.89\00:02:01.42
that this is long is all over
the time prophecies would reach
00:02:01.45\00:02:04.88
right on down to the
end times, to the last days.
00:02:04.91\00:02:08.96
And that's
exactly, what Gabriel said,
00:02:08.99\00:02:10.84
it pertains to
the time of the end.
00:02:10.87\00:02:13.60
And you can go on.
00:02:13.63\00:02:15.17
Gabriel has more to say
about the vision and by the way
00:02:15.20\00:02:18.27
as it talks about the 2,300
day prophecy it is the end part
00:02:18.30\00:02:22.05
of a larger vision
that was given to Daniel.
00:02:22.08\00:02:25.18
We're not taking time to
look at the verses previous
00:02:25.21\00:02:29.24
to what we read in verse 14.
00:02:29.27\00:02:31.56
But you will find that he
goes on to give a very precise
00:02:31.59\00:02:34.76
and a very exact interpretation
of the vision as a whole.
00:02:34.79\00:02:41.25
But there is only
a passing reference
00:02:41.28\00:02:43.96
to the 2, 300 day prophecy.
00:02:43.99\00:02:47.06
And we see that as
we come down to verse 26
00:02:47.09\00:02:49.81
and verse 26
this is what we find,
00:02:49.84\00:02:52.51
the angel says that "The vision
of the evenings and mornings
00:02:52.54\00:02:55.48
which has been told its
true but keep the vision secret
00:02:55.51\00:02:58.43
for it pertains the
many days and future."
00:02:58.46\00:03:01.71
Now notice here in
the American Standards
00:03:01.74\00:03:03.71
is the vision of the
evenings and mornings.
00:03:03.74\00:03:06.41
And if you go back in
this translation verse 14
00:03:06.44\00:03:09.32
it talks about 2,300
evenings and mornings.
00:03:09.35\00:03:12.10
For some strange
unknown reason to me,
00:03:12.13\00:03:15.55
the translators translated
the word days, the word day
00:03:15.58\00:03:20.28
in the Hebrew
means every morning.
00:03:20.31\00:03:23.52
So they just made a very
little translation of it.
00:03:23.55\00:03:26.20
And so in verse 26, when
it talks about the vision
00:03:26.23\00:03:28.84
of the evenings and mornings
it is the only reference
00:03:28.87\00:03:31.64
to the 2,300 day prophecy.
00:03:31.67\00:03:33.83
And what we gain from
it is to be kept secret
00:03:33.86\00:03:37.54
for it may pertain to
many days into the future.
00:03:37.57\00:03:41.35
Yes, right on
down to the end times.
00:03:41.38\00:03:45.52
And then we come to
verse 27, "Then I, Daniel,
00:03:45.55\00:03:48.65
was exhausted and sick
for days then I got up again
00:03:48.68\00:03:52.50
and carried on
the kings business.
00:03:52.53\00:03:54.46
But I was
astounded at the vision,
00:03:54.49\00:03:56.77
and there was
none to explain it."
00:03:56.80\00:03:58.90
Its clear when he
talks about he was astounded
00:03:58.93\00:04:02.58
and nobody could explain it.
00:04:02.61\00:04:04.48
It is Daniel 8:14
00:04:04.51\00:04:07.23
that he is talking
about 2,300 day prophecy
00:04:07.26\00:04:09.39
because as I said
every other element
00:04:09.42\00:04:11.52
was given a fairly
precise interpretation.
00:04:11.55\00:04:14.74
And this furthermore was
of great importance to Daniel
00:04:14.77\00:04:18.26
because,
immediately in the vision
00:04:18.29\00:04:20.03
when he saw this
reference to the sanctuary
00:04:20.06\00:04:22.48
the sanctuary was laid in ruins.
00:04:22.51\00:04:25.48
The sanctuary, the
temple that Solomon had built
00:04:25.51\00:04:28.45
it was in ruins
because of the Nebuchadnezzar
00:04:28.48\00:04:31.85
and the evasion by
the Babylonian hordes
00:04:31.88\00:04:35.21
that resulted in its destruction
00:04:35.24\00:04:37.90
and its clear the
chapter ends, he was seeking,
00:04:37.93\00:04:41.77
we know he was praying about it.
00:04:41.80\00:04:43.83
Obviously, he was praying about
00:04:43.86\00:04:45.11
because he was looking
to other godly men and women
00:04:45.14\00:04:48.81
to see if any body
had an interpretation.
00:04:48.84\00:04:51.54
If anybody could explain it.
00:04:51.57\00:04:53.97
That's how the chapter ends.
00:04:54.00\00:04:56.08
We're going to find the keys
to understanding the prophecy
00:04:56.11\00:05:00.26
in Daniel 8:14, the keys to
interpreting it in Daniel 9.
00:05:00.29\00:05:05.49
The keys to interpreting
the time elements of it
00:05:05.52\00:05:08.18
we're also gonna find in
context as we go other direction
00:05:08.21\00:05:11.27
that is the Daniel 7 we
will find an interpretation
00:05:11.30\00:05:14.85
that relates to the
event that is referenced here,
00:05:14.88\00:05:19.78
that is the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:05:19.81\00:05:22.07
So we are to going to go
first of all into Daniel 9.
00:05:22.10\00:05:25.01
We were here last Sunday night.
00:05:25.04\00:05:26.67
So I am not going to
go through the detail
00:05:26.70\00:05:28.59
that we did that.
00:05:28.62\00:05:29.92
But we do find that
Daniel is in intercessory prayer
00:05:29.95\00:05:33.33
for his people.
00:05:33.36\00:05:35.16
He is making
confession of the sins.
00:05:35.19\00:05:36.74
He is confessing
among other things,
00:05:36.77\00:05:38.44
you know, that they had
forsaken the Lord, they had,
00:05:38.47\00:05:42.18
you know, they were in
a state of disobedience
00:05:42.21\00:05:44.74
against the commandments.
00:05:44.77\00:05:46.48
He further walking
fast that they were guilty
00:05:46.51\00:05:48.57
of not listening to
the service of prophets.
00:05:48.60\00:05:51.03
They were ignoring the
prophets and their messages.
00:05:51.06\00:05:53.91
And then in verse 6
and verse 16 he is asking
00:05:53.94\00:05:56.99
for a restoration and effect
for the city of Jerusalem.
00:05:57.02\00:06:00.92
And verse 17 he is
asking for the restoration
00:06:00.95\00:06:03.51
of the temple that was in ruins.
00:06:03.54\00:06:06.32
Because in Jeremiah it
predicted that they would return
00:06:06.35\00:06:11.10
and that the city and
the temple would be rebuilt.
00:06:11.13\00:06:14.06
There would be restoration.
00:06:14.09\00:06:16.07
And so that's what
he is praying about.
00:06:16.10\00:06:18.58
And again, the
angel Gabriel shows up
00:06:18.61\00:06:21.44
to give them an interpretation
00:06:21.47\00:06:22.65
notice it as we
come to verse 21.
00:06:22.68\00:06:26.29
He says "While I was
still speaking in prayer,
00:06:26.32\00:06:29.33
then the man
Gabriel, whom I had seen
00:06:29.36\00:06:32.58
in the vision previously"
what vision previously?
00:06:32.61\00:06:36.54
Well, there's no
vision recorded in chapter 9
00:06:36.57\00:06:39.70
and the previous vision
00:06:39.73\00:06:41.09
would therefore
take us back to Daniel 8.
00:06:41.12\00:06:43.71
And remember as
Gabriel that came to give them
00:06:43.74\00:06:45.62
interpretation of
the vision of Daniel 8
00:06:45.65\00:06:48.73
and immediately when
he sees this angel Gabriel
00:06:48.76\00:06:50.99
he is taking back on the vision
00:06:51.02\00:06:53.95
that he was given
there in Daniel 8, right.
00:06:53.98\00:06:57.13
Gabriel whom I have seen
the vision previously he says,
00:06:57.16\00:07:01.49
"Came to me in
my extreme weariness
00:07:01.52\00:07:03.35
about the time of
the evening offering."
00:07:03.38\00:07:05.85
What does the evening
offering have to deal with?
00:07:05.88\00:07:09.77
Well, if the temple
was still in existence
00:07:09.80\00:07:11.75
there were offerings
that took place at evening.
00:07:11.78\00:07:16.62
Verse 22 speaking of
Gabriel "He gave me instruction
00:07:16.65\00:07:20.99
and talked with me
and said, 'O Daniel,
00:07:21.02\00:07:23.37
I have now come
forth to give you
00:07:23.40\00:07:25.43
insight with understanding.'
00:07:25.46\00:07:28.23
" Now, remember
how chapter 8 ended.
00:07:28.26\00:07:31.18
He was looking
for an explanation.
00:07:31.21\00:07:33.79
He is trying to have
a deeper understanding
00:07:33.82\00:07:37.19
and certainly he
was praying about it.
00:07:37.22\00:07:39.44
And now Gabriel says "I have
come for to give you insight
00:07:39.47\00:07:42.97
and understanding
about the matter."
00:07:43.00\00:07:45.06
And verse 23 makes it clear
00:07:45.09\00:07:47.19
that he is
talking about Daniel 8.
00:07:47.22\00:07:49.62
Daniel 8, he
says "At the beginning
00:07:49.65\00:07:52.13
of your supplications
the command was issued
00:07:52.16\00:07:54.56
and I have come for tell you,
though you are highly esteemed,
00:07:54.59\00:07:58.78
so give he to the message
00:07:58.81\00:08:00.64
and gain
understanding of the vision."
00:08:00.67\00:08:06.77
Now that is clear
that he has come to give
00:08:06.80\00:08:11.99
an understand the
vision there in Daniel 8:14.
00:08:12.02\00:08:15.74
So, what follows is
vital to our understanding
00:08:15.77\00:08:19.87
of the 2,300 day
prophecy as I already indicated
00:08:19.90\00:08:22.94
to the time elements of it.
00:08:22.97\00:08:24.82
And again, because, we
have been through this before
00:08:24.85\00:08:28.39
in the meetings I am
just gong to do a review.
00:08:28.42\00:08:30.90
I am not necessarily
gonna read each of these verses
00:08:30.93\00:08:33.64
that now follow.
00:08:33.67\00:08:35.73
As the angel
Gabriel come to give them
00:08:35.76\00:08:37.51
an understanding of the vision.
00:08:37.54\00:08:40.04
But as we look at verse 24,
we have a reference to 70 weeks
00:08:40.07\00:08:43.40
of prophetic time in
reference to the people of God.
00:08:43.43\00:08:47.33
Some many weeks happened
to create for your people
00:08:47.36\00:08:49.20
to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sin,
00:08:49.23\00:08:52.71
sin to make a
torment for iniquity.
00:08:52.74\00:08:57.00
And if you are with us
remember, I asked the question
00:08:57.03\00:08:59.91
what is this about or
who is this really about?
00:08:59.94\00:09:02.89
Who is it that
would make an end of sin?
00:09:02.92\00:09:05.15
Who is that would
finish the transgression?
00:09:05.18\00:09:06.82
Who will make a
torment for iniquity?
00:09:06.85\00:09:08.68
And the answer
clearly is messianic,
00:09:08.71\00:09:11.15
it is Jesus Christ who alone.
00:09:11.18\00:09:14.05
And so the future prosperity
of the people of God the Jews
00:09:14.08\00:09:20.41
are all wrapped up in
the coming of Messiah,
00:09:20.44\00:09:23.27
the Savior of the world.
00:09:23.30\00:09:25.80
And 70 weeks of prophetic
time had been given to them
00:09:25.83\00:09:29.45
is what we, we find is,
00:09:29.48\00:09:31.35
is an implied
probationary period of time
00:09:31.38\00:09:35.36
and speaks of the
tremendous patience of God.
00:09:35.39\00:09:39.20
I am gonna come
back to that in a moment
00:09:39.23\00:09:41.04
but we here in Ezekiel 4:6
00:09:41.07\00:09:43.22
where we find the principle
in interpreting time prophecy.
00:09:43.25\00:09:47.19
It's very simple.
00:09:47.22\00:09:48.60
It says "I have appointed
the each day for a year."
00:09:48.63\00:09:52.07
That is in time prophecy.
00:09:52.10\00:09:54.79
One day
represents a literal year.
00:09:54.82\00:09:57.32
It really is that simple.
00:09:57.35\00:09:59.65
And so we are
looking at the 70 weeks
00:09:59.68\00:10:01.37
we are just gonna break us down.
00:10:01.40\00:10:02.70
This is not advanced math.
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.10
I don't think any of you
need your calculators out
00:10:04.13\00:10:06.83
to follow along
what we are going to do.
00:10:06.86\00:10:09.30
We are gonna break the
week down the 70 weeks into days
00:10:09.33\00:10:12.07
and so 7 days in a
week, that's 70 times 7
00:10:12.10\00:10:16.56
which is 490 prophetic
days or 790 literal years.
00:10:16.59\00:10:23.91
Given to the people of God
00:10:23.94\00:10:25.24
I come back to
this issue of patience.
00:10:25.27\00:10:27.23
How patience was God with
his people in the Old Testament.
00:10:27.26\00:10:32.05
I mean to give them 490 years.
00:10:32.08\00:10:38.21
And it compels
the coming of Jesus.
00:10:38.24\00:10:40.75
My friend tells
me, it tells you,
00:10:40.78\00:10:43.19
how we serve a God that
only on tremendous love.
00:10:43.22\00:10:46.40
The God who declares I loved
you with an everlasting love.
00:10:46.43\00:10:49.78
But we serve a God
a tremendous patience
00:10:49.81\00:10:53.21
and kindness towards us,
towards you and towards me.
00:10:53.24\00:11:00.31
Now, we need a starting
point for this time prophecy
00:11:00.34\00:11:03.26
and it's given us in the
next verse that is a verse 25.
00:11:03.29\00:11:06.58
Where it says "From the
issuing of a decree to restore
00:11:06.61\00:11:09.78
and rebuild Jerusalem
until Messiah the Prince
00:11:09.81\00:11:12.04
there will be a total 69 weeks."
00:11:12.07\00:11:14.61
It's a part of
the 70 week prophecy.
00:11:14.64\00:11:17.02
So it predicts 69
weeks of prophetic time
00:11:17.05\00:11:21.32
would take us to the
coming of the messiah the prince
00:11:21.35\00:11:27.30
from the issuing of a
decree and that decree was made
00:11:27.33\00:11:31.16
by King
Artaxerxes, he is a Persian.
00:11:31.19\00:11:34.30
King Artaxerxes in 457 BC
it is a well established date
00:11:34.33\00:11:39.10
and in fact we have
this decree in the Bible
00:11:39.13\00:11:41.47
its recorded in Ezra Chapter 7.
00:11:41.50\00:11:43.59
If you would like to
take a look at the provisions
00:11:43.62\00:11:46.02
made by this
decree by Artaxerxes.
00:11:46.05\00:11:49.64
457 BC therefore
is our starting point
00:11:49.67\00:11:53.15
for the time prophecies
that are recorded here.
00:11:53.18\00:11:55.92
And so we worked
out to 70 weeks 457,
00:11:55.95\00:11:59.74
490 years takes us down to 34 AD
00:11:59.77\00:12:03.71
and as I
mentioned last Sunday night
00:12:03.74\00:12:05.21
as we were
looking at this in part
00:12:05.24\00:12:07.98
because our calculation
takes us from BC to AD time.
00:12:08.01\00:12:13.26
And because there are two ones
00:12:13.29\00:12:15.33
that is one BC is
followed by one AD
00:12:15.36\00:12:17.87
because we have two ones.
00:12:17.90\00:12:19.59
When ever you
do your calculation
00:12:19.62\00:12:21.47
you must always
add that extra one in.
00:12:21.50\00:12:24.13
Because if we do
this per math of it
00:12:24.16\00:12:25.79
you will come up with 26 AD
00:12:25.82\00:12:28.16
but remember you got
to add that extra one in
00:12:28.19\00:12:30.80
from one BC to one AD
back in to get the correct date
00:12:30.83\00:12:33.58
which is 27 AD.
00:12:33.61\00:12:35.91
It leads down to 34 AD
00:12:35.94\00:12:37.51
the period of time
given to God's people.
00:12:37.54\00:12:40.27
But again in verse 25 we
have 69 weeks of prophetic time
00:12:40.30\00:12:43.47
that related to the
coming of the Messiah.
00:12:43.50\00:12:46.94
And we got all of
these wonderful prophecies
00:12:46.97\00:12:49.12
about the coming of Jesus
embedded in the Old Testament
00:12:49.15\00:12:52.09
and we're looking at
one of those key passages.
00:12:52.12\00:12:55.21
And we are gonna break
it down again into days
00:12:55.24\00:12:57.85
and we multiply by 7.
00:12:57.88\00:12:59.69
69 times 7 its 483
days prophetic days or years
00:12:59.72\00:13:05.53
until the Messiah,
the prince would come.
00:13:05.56\00:13:08.86
And so as we calculate
that out that means from 457
00:13:08.89\00:13:12.55
it takes us down to 27 AD.
00:13:12.58\00:13:15.34
And in fact we
know that was in 27 AD
00:13:15.37\00:13:19.11
that Jesus was baptized
00:13:19.14\00:13:20.93
and then began
His earthly ministry
00:13:20.96\00:13:24.73
right on time, right in
the accordance with prophecy.
00:13:24.76\00:13:30.33
And then as we are
looking at this passage
00:13:30.36\00:13:32.49
in Daniel 9 the next verse.
00:13:32.52\00:13:36.44
And the next verse says then,
"Then" it says "After 62 weeks
00:13:36.47\00:13:42.36
the Messiah will be
cut off and have nothing."
00:13:42.39\00:13:45.69
A reference to the
death of Jesus, right here.
00:13:45.72\00:13:49.00
And further more,
notice the word the next word
00:13:49.03\00:13:51.80
that follows the word is and.
00:13:51.83\00:13:53.64
That a-n-d that three letter
word is a word of connection.
00:13:53.67\00:13:57.53
It connects what preceded
00:13:57.56\00:13:59.30
the death of
Jesus to what follows.
00:13:59.33\00:14:01.84
And it goes on say "
and the people of the prince
00:14:01.87\00:14:03.59
who is to come will destroy
the city and the sanctuary.
00:14:03.62\00:14:08.08
War is determined, desolations
00:14:08.11\00:14:10.48
that would be time of distress"
00:14:10.51\00:14:12.27
is what it tells
us here in verse 26.
00:14:12.30\00:14:16.90
And I can well
imagine that Daniel just
00:14:16.93\00:14:19.60
you know he could
just hardly believe it.
00:14:19.63\00:14:22.04
He had been praying for
the restoration of the city
00:14:22.07\00:14:24.50
and the sanctuary and
here it's revealed to him
00:14:24.53\00:14:28.56
it was gonna be destroyed again,
00:14:28.59\00:14:31.25
for much the same reasons
that it happened the first time.
00:14:31.28\00:14:35.25
And it would be as a
result of the crucifixion,
00:14:35.28\00:14:39.93
the death of Jesus
these events would unfold
00:14:39.96\00:14:42.68
and the people, the
prince who is to come.
00:14:42.71\00:14:45.21
And we know historically
that Jerusalem was destroyed
00:14:45.24\00:14:49.68
in accordance with this prophecy
00:14:49.71\00:14:51.60
either, on August
29 or August 30, 70 AD.
00:14:51.63\00:14:56.66
And we know the
historical background of this
00:14:56.69\00:14:58.47
I am gonna review it
again we went in detail
00:14:58.50\00:15:01.57
when we looked at this before.
00:15:01.60\00:15:03.09
But it was during the
time of the emperor Nero
00:15:03.12\00:15:06.13
that the Jews rouse
up in a national revolt.
00:15:06.16\00:15:10.19
The Jewish Revolt of
66 AD lasted to 70 AD,
00:15:10.22\00:15:14.79
ended with the
destruction of Jerusalem.
00:15:14.82\00:15:17.06
The Jews hated the
Romans they were determined
00:15:17.09\00:15:19.89
to throw off the Roman yolk.
00:15:19.92\00:15:23.17
Nero when he received
word of the Jewish revolt
00:15:23.20\00:15:26.46
appointed this man right
here, Vespasian to put it down.
00:15:26.49\00:15:31.65
And he went to
Syria and he picked up
00:15:31.68\00:15:33.31
a bunch of legions
that were stationed there.
00:15:33.34\00:15:36.34
They were been
prepared for an expedition
00:15:36.37\00:15:38.31
into Persia actually as you look
at the secular history here.
00:15:38.34\00:15:42.67
And so, you know,
just by coincidence
00:15:42.70\00:15:45.27
they that the forces
there 60,000 Roman soldiers
00:15:45.30\00:15:48.83
were entrusted Vespasian
to put down the revolt.
00:15:48.86\00:15:52.00
His son Titus
have a picture of him
00:15:52.03\00:15:54.86
it's from the museum
of Roman Civilization.
00:15:54.89\00:15:58.39
He was a Roman general and
he was on the general staff
00:15:58.42\00:16:01.87
of his father Vespasian.
00:16:01.90\00:16:03.39
He was entrusted with
a 15th Apollinaris legion
00:16:03.42\00:16:07.20
that came out of the Alexandria.
00:16:07.23\00:16:09.33
A legion has some 5,000
to 6,000 Roman soldiers.
00:16:09.36\00:16:12.01
And Josephus,
Josephus we usually think
00:16:12.04\00:16:14.69
of the Jewish
historian and he was that
00:16:14.72\00:16:17.49
but in this revolt Josephus
was actually a Jewish general
00:16:17.52\00:16:22.83
who was defeated as
Vespasian came down from Syria.
00:16:22.86\00:16:27.84
He was defeated
and taken prisoner.
00:16:27.87\00:16:30.32
He actually had
pro-Roman lenience
00:16:30.35\00:16:33.81
and observed the
following campaigns
00:16:33.84\00:16:36.91
ending with the
destructor of Jerusalem
00:16:36.94\00:16:38.79
and in great detail
describes what happened
00:16:38.82\00:16:41.97
at the destruction of Jerusalem.
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.28
And the city was finally
destroyed you can look at it,
00:16:44.31\00:16:47.82
Titus really didn't
wanted to destroy the temple.
00:16:47.85\00:16:51.30
But once the Romans broke
through the outer breaches
00:16:51.33\00:16:54.61
of the fences of the city
00:16:54.64\00:16:58.33
and what he did was the Romans
built an encompassing wall.
00:16:58.36\00:17:03.58
Took them sometime
around the exterior
00:17:03.61\00:17:06.63
of the city of Jerusalem
00:17:06.66\00:17:07.82
and when they
finished it they shut out off
00:17:07.85\00:17:10.86
all communication
with the outside world.
00:17:10.89\00:17:13.00
They could not leave the
city, nobody could get in,
00:17:13.03\00:17:15.76
they sealed it.
00:17:15.79\00:17:17.99
And then these, the battles
you know Josephus was sent
00:17:18.02\00:17:21.65
by Titus to plea with his
countrymen to give up the fight.
00:17:21.68\00:17:26.58
But there were extreme
elements under John particularly
00:17:26.61\00:17:29.80
in the city who were I
mean they were extremist
00:17:29.83\00:17:33.14
and they were not ready
to get them into the Romans
00:17:33.17\00:17:35.83
under any circumstances
but the outer breaches
00:17:35.86\00:17:38.36
of the defenses were finally
broken through by the Romans.
00:17:38.39\00:17:42.26
And the defendants made
their way to the Temple of Mount
00:17:42.29\00:17:44.95
up to the temple which
itself was like a fortress.
00:17:44.98\00:17:47.66
It had walls around it.
00:17:47.69\00:17:49.11
And in fact, Herod
had built his palace there
00:17:49.14\00:17:51.17
which was also a fortress
00:17:51.20\00:17:53.11
that better right up
against the Temple of Mount.
00:17:53.14\00:17:55.61
And as you look at
the record of this,
00:17:55.64\00:17:57.97
you know, Titus is called
to gather his general staff.
00:17:58.00\00:18:01.12
They are talking about the
finishing up of the campaign
00:18:01.15\00:18:03.63
knowing that they had
a fight ahead of them.
00:18:03.66\00:18:05.97
And he gave instructions
00:18:06.00\00:18:08.19
that the temple
was to remain intact.
00:18:08.22\00:18:11.80
When the Jews came out
00:18:11.83\00:18:15.55
they were not going to
just wait on the Romans
00:18:15.58\00:18:18.77
they were going to take
the battle to the Romans.
00:18:18.80\00:18:21.75
So they disrupted this
general council of war of Titus.
00:18:21.78\00:18:27.25
And Romans found themselves
in the heat of battle.
00:18:27.28\00:18:30.85
And in the heat
battle somebody threw
00:18:30.88\00:18:33.25
a firebrand into the
interior of the temple
00:18:33.28\00:18:36.07
that was lying with
those beautiful sieges
00:18:36.10\00:18:37.99
from Lebanon overlay
with gold, remember that?
00:18:38.02\00:18:41.19
You know how that burns?
00:18:41.22\00:18:42.77
And Titus tried to give
his soldiers to put it out
00:18:42.80\00:18:45.44
but again in the
heat of the battle
00:18:45.47\00:18:46.92
nobody listened to him and
it is recorded historically
00:18:46.95\00:18:50.51
that Titus and some
of his general staff
00:18:50.54\00:18:53.61
went into the
interior of the temple
00:18:53.64\00:18:55.39
and they got a
number of key things.
00:18:55.42\00:18:57.41
They got all the
gold furniture out.
00:18:57.44\00:18:59.83
That's what they did.
00:18:59.86\00:19:00.90
They got the
silver trumpets out.
00:19:00.93\00:19:03.53
Like the piece of
trumpets, remember that.
00:19:03.56\00:19:05.49
They got the all the
seven-branched candlestick.
00:19:05.52\00:19:08.89
They got the Table of Showbread.
00:19:08.92\00:19:11.41
A number of other items
they were able to get out
00:19:11.44\00:19:14.33
before the temple fell.
00:19:14.36\00:19:17.40
And at the end of
this great victory
00:19:17.43\00:19:19.53
when he returned and triumph
00:19:19.56\00:19:22.64
he erected this Ark of
Triumph at the southern repost
00:19:22.67\00:19:24.96
at the city of Rome.
00:19:24.99\00:19:26.02
It still stands today in
honor of their great victory
00:19:26.05\00:19:30.21
over the Jews.
00:19:30.24\00:19:31.62
This was a significant
event in Roman history.
00:19:31.65\00:19:36.85
And you can see them
bringing back some of the booty
00:19:36.88\00:19:38.82
including the
seven-branched candlestick
00:19:38.85\00:19:41.06
which bears
testimony to the reliability
00:19:41.09\00:19:44.55
of the prophecy
that we are looking at.
00:19:44.58\00:19:46.42
Doesn't it? Amen.
00:19:46.45\00:19:48.72
The seven-branched candlestick,
00:19:48.75\00:19:50.19
been pictured
been brought back here.
00:19:50.22\00:19:52.81
And by the way
Nero died in 69 AD,
00:19:52.84\00:19:55.89
Vespasian left the
issue of the city of Jerusalem
00:19:55.92\00:19:59.78
with his son Titus as he went
back to secure the emperorship
00:19:59.81\00:20:02.98
for himself and
then he appointed Titus
00:20:03.01\00:20:05.43
to reign as
co-emperor with himself.
00:20:05.46\00:20:08.43
Just to give you again
the historically background
00:20:08.46\00:20:10.84
to the prophecy
that we are looking at
00:20:10.87\00:20:12.77
and how this all carried out.
00:20:12.80\00:20:14.47
But there is one other
verse that we are looking
00:20:14.50\00:20:16.54
at here in context.
00:20:16.57\00:20:19.01
And the last verse is
its speaking of the Messiah.
00:20:19.04\00:20:22.80
He will make it firm
coming with a many firm one week
00:20:22.83\00:20:26.15
a prophetic time.
00:20:26.18\00:20:27.58
That's seven days, of
course or seven years.
00:20:27.61\00:20:31.39
And someone applied
this to the antichrist
00:20:31.42\00:20:33.46
but its not talking
about the antichrist
00:20:33.49\00:20:35.07
its talking about
Jesus who came to confirm
00:20:35.10\00:20:37.85
the covenant promise
is given to God's people
00:20:37.88\00:20:40.60
and to ratify the
covenant by His death
00:20:40.63\00:20:42.51
on the cross of cavalry.
00:20:42.54\00:20:44.40
He will make a firm
coming with a many for one week.
00:20:44.43\00:20:47.15
And that week fits innately
between the 69th and 70th week.
00:20:47.18\00:20:53.11
That's where that week belongs
contextually and historically.
00:20:53.14\00:20:58.02
And it says in the
middle of that week,
00:20:58.83\00:21:00.21
he will bring a stop to
sacrifice and grain offering.
00:21:00.24\00:21:03.66
And my friend, as
we studied last night
00:21:03.69\00:21:05.17
when Jesus died on
the cross of Cavalry
00:21:05.20\00:21:07.45
the whole Old
Testament sacrificial system,
00:21:07.48\00:21:11.04
the sacrifices of those animals
00:21:11.07\00:21:12.88
that prophetically
symbolized the death of Jesus
00:21:12.91\00:21:15.16
at the cross of
Cavalry came to a sudden end
00:21:15.19\00:21:18.68
and soon after the temple
the earthly temple was destroyed
00:21:18.71\00:21:22.32
as predicted right here.
00:21:22.35\00:21:24.47
There was no need of it anymore.
00:21:24.50\00:21:26.39
And so he brought
00:21:26.42\00:21:27.45
in the sacrifices
and grain offering
00:21:27.48\00:21:30.80
when he sacrificed
Himself on the cross of Cavalry.
00:21:30.83\00:21:35.01
You see that, don't you?
00:21:35.04\00:21:37.06
And it says, He would do
this in middle of the week
00:21:37.09\00:21:41.19
and my friend,
right in the middle
00:21:41.22\00:21:43.23
of the seven year
period of time in 31 AD
00:21:43.26\00:21:45.55
to be the exact Jesus
died as our Lord and Savior.
00:21:45.58\00:21:50.59
Prophecy exactly clearly was
fulfilled as we have it here.
00:21:50.62\00:21:56.27
Now, we went
through quite a little bit
00:21:56.30\00:21:58.94
to establish the time
elements as we have it here.
00:21:58.97\00:22:01.54
But the key to understand
the 2,300 day prophecy
00:22:01.57\00:22:05.29
is made clear here in Daniel 9,
00:22:05.32\00:22:08.22
for we are given not
only the starting point
00:22:08.25\00:22:11.13
for the 70 week prophecy
but for the 2,300 day prophecy
00:22:11.16\00:22:15.14
and as you probably
already taking through
00:22:15.17\00:22:19.09
those 2,300 prophetic days
represent 2,300 literal years.
00:22:19.12\00:22:26.15
That's why it's the longest.
00:22:26.18\00:22:27.61
And the starting point is 457 BC
00:22:27.64\00:22:32.35
which takes us down to 1844.
00:22:32.38\00:22:39.04
Yes, it's true.
00:22:39.07\00:22:40.92
Not cowardly put
together it's what is Biblical.
00:22:40.95\00:22:45.29
1844, so we've
got the time element
00:22:45.32\00:22:48.72
now we have to
get down the event.
00:22:48.75\00:22:51.90
And still deal
with the nuts and bolts.
00:22:51.93\00:22:54.21
So let's get into this
cleansing of the sanctuary,
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.82
that's where we
want to come to next.
00:22:57.85\00:22:59.64
But I do want to
make this observation
00:22:59.67\00:23:02.11
because the two time prophecies
00:23:02.14\00:23:04.10
the one we just
read of it Daniel 9
00:23:04.13\00:23:05.99
and then the 2,300
day prophecy are linked
00:23:06.02\00:23:08.88
more than just contextually
for the time prophecies
00:23:08.91\00:23:12.87
of Daniel focusing on Jesus
00:23:12.90\00:23:15.24
coming to this earth
and His earthly ministry
00:23:15.27\00:23:19.59
that ended with His
death on the cross of Cavalry.
00:23:19.62\00:23:22.17
So it focuses in on His
earthly ministry in contrast
00:23:22.20\00:23:26.12
the cleansing of the sanctuary
the 2,300 day prophecy focus
00:23:26.15\00:23:30.01
is in on Jesus
high priestly ministry
00:23:30.04\00:23:34.09
in the heavenly sanctuary.
00:23:34.12\00:23:37.48
And since a
sanctuary is been destroyed
00:23:37.51\00:23:39.37
and they did away was
sacrificing grain offerings
00:23:39.40\00:23:41.51
and we are talking about
00:23:41.54\00:23:42.58
cleansing of the
sanctuary in 1844
00:23:42.61\00:23:44.82
there is only one sanctuary
that it could be talking about.
00:23:44.85\00:23:49.74
And it is not an earthly system
00:23:49.77\00:23:51.49
it is the heavenly
sanctuary or a temple right.
00:23:51.52\00:23:55.44
And again I am
connecting with what we studied
00:23:55.47\00:23:57.64
last night in Hebrews 9:11.
00:23:57.67\00:24:01.23
Notice, it says
of Jesus, it says
00:24:01.26\00:24:03.58
"But Christ being
come an high priest
00:24:03.61\00:24:06.48
by His own blood He entered
in once into the holy place,
00:24:06.51\00:24:10.19
having obtained
eternal redemption for us."
00:24:10.22\00:24:14.59
So when Jesus died and then
roused victorious over the grave
00:24:14.62\00:24:20.24
and ascended into heaven
He entered into the heaven
00:24:20.27\00:24:24.61
into the heavenly
sanctuary as we will see
00:24:24.64\00:24:27.75
to function now as our priest.
00:24:27.78\00:24:29.96
He is both sacrifice and
He is both an intercessor.
00:24:29.99\00:24:34.76
That's what the
priest is intercessor.
00:24:34.79\00:24:37.35
There He
ascended having obtained
00:24:37.38\00:24:39.68
eternal redemption for us."
00:24:39.71\00:24:40.78
It goes on to say "For Christ
has not entered the holy places
00:24:40.81\00:24:44.03
made with hands,
which are copies"
00:24:44.06\00:24:47.67
symbols would be another word
00:24:47.70\00:24:49.62
"of the true, but
into heaven itself,
00:24:49.65\00:24:51.87
now to appear in the
presence of God for us."
00:24:51.90\00:24:56.85
Is what it tells us to.
00:24:56.88\00:24:58.35
Appear in the
presence of God for us.
00:24:58.38\00:25:01.07
I take you back to
the earthly system.
00:25:01.10\00:25:04.10
Oops, if I push the
wrong button it goes again.
00:25:04.13\00:25:07.25
I got a little
trigger here in the bottom
00:25:07.28\00:25:08.63
not just on the top.
00:25:08.66\00:25:11.38
And I am gonna use
this the second time.
00:25:11.41\00:25:12.78
But any way so
remember in the earthly system
00:25:12.81\00:25:16.55
when the
sacrifice had taken place
00:25:16.58\00:25:19.74
that animal had died.
00:25:19.77\00:25:22.49
The priest then
will take the blood
00:25:22.52\00:25:24.63
and it will go into
the sanctuary, the temple
00:25:24.66\00:25:28.01
and he will sprinkle the
blood before the Lord, okay.
00:25:28.04\00:25:32.96
And in that process and again
this ritual is quite foreign
00:25:32.99\00:25:36.90
to our thinking
in the western world.
00:25:36.93\00:25:39.13
But you will
find it very clearly
00:25:39.16\00:25:40.70
indicating the Mosaic Law
it is in the Levitical quote
00:25:40.73\00:25:44.21
as we find it for instance
in the Book of Leviticus.
00:25:44.24\00:25:47.48
He became He bore the sin
00:25:47.51\00:25:51.73
and the guilt
of the transgressor
00:25:51.76\00:25:55.10
for which the sacrifice
of the animal was required.
00:25:55.13\00:25:57.98
He bore the guilt of that sin
00:25:58.01\00:26:00.02
of that
individual into the temple.
00:26:00.05\00:26:02.57
This is ritualistic now.
00:26:02.60\00:26:05.37
By taking back in the
Hebrews 8:1-2 then further
00:26:05.40\00:26:08.33
as we are talking about
Jesus high priestly ministry,
00:26:08.36\00:26:12.35
it says "Now the main point
in what has been said is this
00:26:12.38\00:26:15.41
we have such a high
priest, who has taken His seat
00:26:15.44\00:26:18.36
at the right hand of the throne
00:26:18.39\00:26:19.96
of the Majesty in the heavens,
00:26:19.99\00:26:22.85
a minister in the sanctuary
and in the true tabernacle,
00:26:22.88\00:26:26.38
which the Lord
pitched, not man."
00:26:26.41\00:26:29.01
Oh, my friend, we had been given
00:26:29.04\00:26:30.40
this wonderful Book of Hebrews
00:26:30.43\00:26:33.09
in the New
Testament to give us insight
00:26:33.12\00:26:36.86
into what the whole
earthly system represented
00:26:36.89\00:26:40.22
and specifically you know
the two significant things
00:26:40.25\00:26:43.27
is Jesus is the sacrifice
and Jesus is our priest.
00:26:43.30\00:26:49.65
He is our intercessor in heaven.
00:26:49.68\00:26:52.22
It gives us a deeper
understanding and comprehension
00:26:52.25\00:26:55.88
of what Jesus means to us now,
00:26:55.91\00:26:58.61
and what He is doing
for us now in heaven.
00:26:58.64\00:27:02.57
We have a personal
representative there
00:27:02.60\00:27:04.99
in the presence of the God.
00:27:05.02\00:27:06.43
He is our divine ambassador
representing our interest
00:27:06.46\00:27:12.54
there in the presence of God.
00:27:12.57\00:27:14.36
And I have got some interest,
how about you in all of this?
00:27:14.39\00:27:19.30
And so the
priest would represented
00:27:19.33\00:27:21.41
the priesthood of Jesus
00:27:21.44\00:27:22.73
but the temple
the earthly temple
00:27:22.76\00:27:25.13
represented the heavenly temple.
00:27:25.16\00:27:26.94
Because we find in
Revelation 11:19 it says,
00:27:26.97\00:27:30.59
"And the temple of
God which is" where?
00:27:30.62\00:27:33.76
"Which is in heaven was opened
00:27:33.79\00:27:36.01
and the ark of His covenant
appeared in His temple."
00:27:36.04\00:27:39.02
Last night we discovered
that the Ark of the Covenant
00:27:39.05\00:27:41.61
in the earthly system
represented the throne of God.
00:27:41.64\00:27:45.55
Because God's
presence was right there
00:27:45.58\00:27:47.73
between those golden angels-
remember those golden angels
00:27:47.76\00:27:50.48
that were part of
the lid of the Ark.
00:27:50.51\00:27:52.87
And His presence was
revealed between these angles
00:27:52.90\00:27:54.99
that was called
the Shekinah glory.
00:27:55.02\00:27:59.56
God's presence was revealed.
00:27:59.59\00:28:00.95
So here it is the
temple of heaven is open and,
00:28:00.98\00:28:04.18
you know, John in vision
is looking into the interior
00:28:04.21\00:28:07.23
of this temple
and he sees the Ark,
00:28:07.26\00:28:09.74
he sees the throne room of God.
00:28:09.77\00:28:13.30
And it goes on to say
"And there were flashes
00:28:13.33\00:28:15.27
of lightning and
sounds and peals of thunder
00:28:15.30\00:28:18.56
and an earthquake
and a great hailstorm."
00:28:18.59\00:28:22.38
Notice the corresponding
things that happen in the earth
00:28:22.41\00:28:25.33
as the temple in
heaven is opened.
00:28:25.36\00:28:27.82
In fact, as you study
the Book of Revelation
00:28:27.85\00:28:30.99
my friend, every
scene that you see pictured
00:28:31.02\00:28:34.52
in the Book of
Revelation in heaven
00:28:34.55\00:28:36.61
is in the temple in heaven.
00:28:36.64\00:28:39.50
The opening
scene of Revelation 1
00:28:39.53\00:28:41.72
is a picture of
Jesus in His priestly garb
00:28:41.75\00:28:46.16
in the heavenly temple
as He is standing there
00:28:46.19\00:28:49.85
among the
seven-branched candlesticks
00:28:49.88\00:28:52.28
which in the symbolism
of the Book of Revelation
00:28:52.31\00:28:55.46
represents the
people of God the churches.
00:28:55.49\00:28:58.60
So the opening scene is
in the temple and everything
00:28:58.63\00:29:01.89
that is embodied in the
Book of Revelation that deals
00:29:01.92\00:29:04.96
with events and pictures
and visions of what is happening
00:29:04.99\00:29:09.03
in heaven is right in
the temple that is in heaven.
00:29:09.06\00:29:13.94
And then you have
corresponding events
00:29:13.97\00:29:15.69
that happen on the earth.
00:29:15.72\00:29:16.75
And you have this
ebb and flow between
00:29:16.78\00:29:18.92
what is happened in-
happened in the heavenly temple
00:29:18.95\00:29:21.55
and that which is
happening on the earth.
00:29:21.58\00:29:25.83
Honestly, tell you
this just right came to me
00:29:25.86\00:29:29.00
and I am sure I
am not the person one
00:29:29.03\00:29:30.26
who finally saw this
but just came to me probably
00:29:30.29\00:29:33.72
about ten twelve years
ago after studying years
00:29:33.75\00:29:37.07
of the Book of Revelation.
00:29:37.10\00:29:38.34
I mean, it was
there all the time.
00:29:38.37\00:29:40.25
It's the temple
and interplayed between
00:29:40.28\00:29:42.12
again what's happening
in heaven in the temple
00:29:42.15\00:29:44.51
and what happens on the earth
00:29:44.54\00:29:46.44
and it gives us
deeper understanding
00:29:46.47\00:29:48.61
of the Book of Revelation
for understanding that.
00:29:48.64\00:29:50.28
But I must move on.
00:29:50.31\00:29:53.01
Of course, I must move on.
00:29:53.04\00:29:54.07
To Leviticus 16,
00:29:54.97\00:29:57.47
the Old Testament page 637.
00:29:57.50\00:30:03.25
Oh, would that be
Old Testament page 87,
00:30:03.28\00:30:06.01
I think its more 87.
00:30:06.04\00:30:08.41
Leviticus 16, now, I
am not gonna take you
00:30:08.44\00:30:11.26
through all of
the deep involved,
00:30:11.29\00:30:14.71
you know, details of the
rituals of the Levitical code
00:30:14.74\00:30:20.09
that related to
the temple system
00:30:20.12\00:30:23.88
but we must look
Leviticus 16:15, 16
00:30:23.91\00:30:29.62
because we want
to really comprehend
00:30:29.65\00:30:31.20
what it means, this cleansing
of the sanctuary and 1844,
00:30:31.23\00:30:34.97
and what's the connection
00:30:35.00\00:30:36.03
what is that
happen or its happening.
00:30:36.06\00:30:39.17
And remember I shared with you
00:30:39.20\00:30:40.98
the priest in the
role of a sin bearer
00:30:41.01\00:30:44.55
bore the sins of
people into the temple
00:30:44.58\00:30:46.45
where He interceded on
their behalf before God.
00:30:46.48\00:30:49.42
Once a year it was
called the Day of Atonement
00:30:49.45\00:30:51.53
the sanctuary had to be
cleansed ritualistically.
00:30:51.56\00:30:55.99
And that's where
we find pictured here
00:30:56.02\00:30:58.01
and the high priest function
was central to all of it.
00:30:58.04\00:31:01.80
So Leviticus 16:15,
speaking of the high priest
00:31:01.83\00:31:05.55
"Then he shall slaughter
the goat of the sin offering
00:31:05.58\00:31:08.55
which is for the people."
00:31:08.58\00:31:11.15
Not
individuals, not the ungodly,
00:31:11.18\00:31:13.81
not for the philistines,
not for the Amorites,
00:31:13.84\00:31:16.47
this is for the people of
God sacrifices that are be-
00:31:16.50\00:31:20.35
who was
symbolized in the sacrifices.
00:31:20.38\00:31:24.08
Okay, Jesus you got it,
00:31:24.11\00:31:25.57
the shedding of
the blood of Jesus.
00:31:25.60\00:31:26.74
We want to always
keep that in mind.
00:31:26.77\00:31:28.57
"So he slaughtered the
goat of the sin offering
00:31:28.60\00:31:31.33
which is for the
people for the people of God
00:31:31.36\00:31:33.82
and brings his blood inside
the veil and do with his blood
00:31:33.85\00:31:36.43
as he did with
the blood of the blow
00:31:36.46\00:31:38.64
and sprinkle it
on the mercy seat
00:31:38.67\00:31:40.59
and in front of the mercy seat."
00:31:40.62\00:31:42.18
That's what he did.
00:31:42.21\00:31:44.18
That is he went
into the most holy place.
00:31:44.21\00:31:47.50
And remember as
we studied last night
00:31:47.53\00:31:49.08
the lid of the
Ark of the Covenant
00:31:49.11\00:31:51.29
was called the mercy seat.
00:31:51.32\00:31:54.89
The seat of whom?
00:31:54.92\00:31:56.55
Why do you think it
was called a mercy seat?
00:31:56.58\00:31:58.70
Representing that
seat of the throne of God?
00:31:58.73\00:32:00.14
And who sat on that throne?
00:32:00.17\00:32:02.20
God.
00:32:02.23\00:32:04.03
And in the, in the Ark was what?
00:32:04.06\00:32:08.56
What was placed in it?
00:32:08.59\00:32:09.63
I know there about
there main things but
00:32:09.66\00:32:12.84
the commandments
that God had written
00:32:12.87\00:32:15.74
on tablets of
stone with His own finger
00:32:15.77\00:32:17.48
which represented
the righteous principles
00:32:17.51\00:32:20.00
which are the foundation
of the divine government.
00:32:20.03\00:32:23.44
And it is the transgression
of those divine principles
00:32:23.47\00:32:27.99
that led to the awful
mess of sin that we are in
00:32:28.02\00:32:32.05
that required the
death of Jesus Christ
00:32:32.08\00:32:34.14
to atone for its transgression
00:32:34.17\00:32:37.56
and so we see pictured here
00:32:37.59\00:32:38.84
the two primary aspects
of the character of God.
00:32:38.87\00:32:41.64
He is a righteous
God, He is a God of justice
00:32:41.67\00:32:44.65
and living into world
of such unrighteousness
00:32:44.68\00:32:47.06
and so much injustice.
00:32:47.09\00:32:49.75
As the people of
God we say, hallelujah,
00:32:49.78\00:32:53.62
there is a righteous God.
00:32:53.65\00:32:56.85
But the other chief attribute
of God must not be overlooked
00:32:56.88\00:33:00.37
it is pictured by
the mercy seat because
00:33:00.40\00:33:02.33
he is a God of incredible
mercy and love and compassion.
00:33:02.36\00:33:06.93
Amen. Amen.
00:33:06.96\00:33:10.05
And this is the
dilemma that God that had,
00:33:10.08\00:33:12.70
His righteousness
because He is just
00:33:12.73\00:33:14.84
He has to deal
with the problem of sin
00:33:14.87\00:33:16.99
and the wages of sin is death.
00:33:17.02\00:33:21.25
But He loved us.
00:33:21.28\00:33:23.23
As we have talked about
He just can't let us go.
00:33:23.26\00:33:25.57
So what could love do?
00:33:25.60\00:33:28.02
Sacrifice His
justice it's all right,
00:33:28.05\00:33:30.11
its just all right.
00:33:30.14\00:33:31.17
We'll just forget about
it, couldn't be forgotten.
00:33:31.20\00:33:34.92
What kind of universe
where we end up with anyway?
00:33:34.95\00:33:37.19
If God says, all right
its not all right, right.
00:33:37.22\00:33:44.07
It's not all right.
00:33:44.10\00:33:46.78
So God couldn't just
pass over, it's all right,
00:33:46.81\00:33:48.67
we'll just forget it, you know.
00:33:48.70\00:33:50.68
No, you can't forget
this because this is a cancer
00:33:50.71\00:33:54.04
and it is
malignant and it is vicious,
00:33:54.07\00:33:58.20
it is fast growing, it has,
00:33:58.23\00:34:00.88
it is engulf the
whole of this planet.
00:34:00.91\00:34:03.49
So in love God
stepped in and provided
00:34:06.05\00:34:09.91
the means by which he can
be just and by which He can be,
00:34:09.94\00:34:17.20
and by which He can save
us from the malignancy of sin.
00:34:17.23\00:34:22.95
And He provided a substitution
a divine substitution.
00:34:22.98\00:34:27.39
Jesus stepped into the gap
00:34:27.42\00:34:28.98
as we studied last
night in Isaiah 53:8.
00:34:29.01\00:34:32.54
And He interceded
between us and that death stroke
00:34:32.57\00:34:37.84
that was due to us.
00:34:37.87\00:34:40.13
Took it upon Himself so
that now justice is fully
00:34:40.16\00:34:44.59
and completely satisfied
at the cross of Jesus, right.
00:34:44.62\00:34:49.79
God did not forfeiture
his justice in saving us.
00:34:49.82\00:34:57.38
But in love He reached
down to us and by faith in Him
00:34:57.41\00:35:01.46
we can have life eternal.
00:35:01.49\00:35:03.64
That's the beauty of
the plan of salvation.
00:35:03.67\00:35:07.75
And so it's a
compo sphere the priest,
00:35:07.78\00:35:10.06
you know the goat
representing the death,
00:35:10.09\00:35:11.80
it took the blood went
into the most holy place
00:35:11.83\00:35:14.17
and he sprinkled
it on the mercy seat.
00:35:14.20\00:35:16.73
It was the blood that
allowed God to be merciful
00:35:16.76\00:35:22.12
and yet just in
dealing with sin.
00:35:22.15\00:35:26.74
Do you see that?
00:35:26.77\00:35:28.71
And then verse
16, he goes on to say,
00:35:28.74\00:35:30.55
"And he shall make a
torment for the holy place."
00:35:30.58\00:35:33.54
We don't usually think
of the atonement being made
00:35:33.57\00:35:35.39
for a place we think
atonement been made for people.
00:35:35.42\00:35:40.28
But well let's read on.
00:35:40.31\00:35:42.14
"For the holy place
00:35:42.17\00:35:43.26
because of the
impurities of the sons of Israel
00:35:43.29\00:35:46.42
because of their transgressions
in regard to all their sins
00:35:46.45\00:35:50.17
and thus he shall do
for the tent of meeting
00:35:50.20\00:35:52.35
which abides with them in
the midst of their impurities."
00:35:52.38\00:35:54.77
The sanctuary had to be cleansed
00:35:54.80\00:35:56.79
because of the sins and
the guilt of God's people.
00:35:56.82\00:36:00.67
And my friend, though I would
assume that most of us today
00:36:00.70\00:36:03.97
are under the love
and grace of Jesus Christ,
00:36:04.00\00:36:07.00
nevertheless we would
have to confess we have sinned.
00:36:07.03\00:36:11.17
We have come short
of the glory of God.
00:36:11.20\00:36:14.10
We are sinners
and we need cleansing.
00:36:14.13\00:36:18.53
And of course, if you are under
the love and grace of Jesus
00:36:18.56\00:36:20.91
you will
experience that cleansing
00:36:20.94\00:36:23.41
that flows from
the cross of Cavalry.
00:36:23.44\00:36:27.92
It flows.
00:36:27.95\00:36:29.63
So this is what was
being in the earthly system
00:36:29.66\00:36:32.68
this is what was cleansed.
00:36:32.71\00:36:34.27
But again Daniel
8:14, 2,300 years,
00:36:34.30\00:36:38.83
1844 cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:36:38.86\00:36:41.77
What would be its counterpart?
00:36:41.80\00:36:44.34
We know what
happened in earthly system
00:36:44.37\00:36:45.94
how does that apply
to the heavenly system.
00:36:45.97\00:36:48.12
It's not good a valid question?
00:36:48.15\00:36:50.60
Since obviously the
earthly system was prophetic,
00:36:50.63\00:36:53.01
symbolic of Jesus His
ministry etcetera, etcetera.
00:36:53.04\00:36:56.29
Well, let's look Hebrews 9
in the New Testament page 173.
00:36:56.32\00:37:01.39
And we want to
look at verse 22 and 23
00:37:01.42\00:37:05.05
again the question has to be,
00:37:05.08\00:37:06.72
well how could there
be anything in the heaven
00:37:06.75\00:37:08.79
that needs to be cleansed.
00:37:08.82\00:37:12.77
Ah, does it involve
the sins of God's people
00:37:12.80\00:37:15.44
that's Leviticus 16,
that certainly indicates that,
00:37:15.47\00:37:19.91
the let's pick
it up here Hebrews 9
00:37:19.94\00:37:23.14
and again we are looking
at verse 22 to begin with.
00:37:23.17\00:37:27.57
And it says
"According to the law,
00:37:27.60\00:37:29.06
"according to
the Levitical code"
00:37:29.09\00:37:30.91
one may almost say, all
things are cleansed with blood
00:37:30.94\00:37:35.21
and without shedding the
blood there is no forgiveness.
00:37:35.24\00:37:39.94
Therefore, it was necessary
00:37:39.97\00:37:41.43
for the copies of the
things in the heavens"
00:37:41.46\00:37:44.09
as form of the earthly system
"to be cleansed with these."
00:37:44.12\00:37:48.10
What's the these?
00:37:48.13\00:37:50.23
They were cleansed
with the sacrifices,
00:37:50.26\00:37:53.12
the blood of the sacrifices.
00:37:53.15\00:37:54.84
So it was necessary, it says
00:37:54.87\00:37:57.47
for the earthly
the copies the earthly
00:37:57.50\00:38:00.64
to be cleansed
with the sacrifices.
00:38:00.67\00:38:03.85
"But the heavenly
things" by implication
00:38:03.88\00:38:07.14
"cleansed themselves
with better sacrifices."
00:38:07.17\00:38:12.69
What better sacrifice?
00:38:12.72\00:38:16.36
You got it the
sacrifice of Jesus.
00:38:16.39\00:38:20.90
The sacrifice, the blood
of Jesus is what cleanses
00:38:20.93\00:38:26.61
in regards to this prophecy
that we are looking at, right.
00:38:26.64\00:38:31.05
So let's, let's get
bit specific about this
00:38:31.08\00:38:33.10
let me take you
to Philippians 4,
00:38:33.13\00:38:34.93
the New Testament page
156, 156, Philippians 4:3.
00:38:34.96\00:38:39.55
So how does that related to me
00:38:39.58\00:38:41.99
as a prophesying Christian?
00:38:42.02\00:38:44.75
I mean is this
some kind of, you know,
00:38:44.78\00:38:47.20
drama that's been played out
but really has not any direct,
00:38:47.23\00:38:52.13
you know, implications for me?
00:38:52.16\00:38:55.72
Well, Philippians 4:3
let me put it together.
00:38:55.75\00:38:58.28
It's a lot of
part we want to look at
00:38:58.31\00:38:59.68
but let's read the whole of it.
00:38:59.71\00:39:01.34
"Indeed, true
companion," Paul writes
00:39:01.37\00:39:04.31
"I ask you also
to help these women
00:39:04.34\00:39:07.35
who have shared my struggle
in the cause of the gospel,
00:39:07.38\00:39:09.86
together with Clement and also
the rest of my fellow workers,"
00:39:09.89\00:39:13.57
here it is "whose names
are in the book of life."
00:39:13.60\00:39:19.34
We will find out this
is in the heavenly temple.
00:39:19.37\00:39:21.72
We will put
those texts together.
00:39:21.75\00:39:23.66
In this heavenly temple
where Jesus interceding for us
00:39:23.69\00:39:27.34
having spilt His blood
on the cross of Cavalry
00:39:27.37\00:39:30.37
there are these
records, it's the book of Life.
00:39:30.40\00:39:34.87
In fact, Jesus said in
Luke 10:20, "Rejoice" He said,
00:39:34.90\00:39:39.86
"Rejoice that your
names are recorded in heaven."
00:39:39.89\00:39:43.90
What's in the name?
00:39:43.93\00:39:46.16
A name stands for who you are.
00:39:46.19\00:39:49.33
Your
personality, your character.
00:39:49.36\00:39:51.45
The good and bad of
it is in the name, okay.
00:39:51.48\00:39:55.72
And it's a perfect
record of each one of us.
00:39:55.75\00:39:58.60
Let to us some good things are
written in the book of Life too
00:39:58.63\00:40:01.62
for instances
when you came to Jesus,
00:40:01.65\00:40:06.82
when you repented when you
accepted Him as your Savior
00:40:06.85\00:40:12.14
and He cleansed
you of your sins,
00:40:12.17\00:40:15.23
don't you forget that's there
in the book of Life as well.
00:40:15.26\00:40:19.74
And by the way, how
does one get one's name
00:40:19.77\00:40:21.83
written in the book of Life?
00:40:21.86\00:40:23.79
When one enters into a personal
committed relationship with God
00:40:23.82\00:40:26.73
through Jesus Christ
by the act of Baptism
00:40:26.76\00:40:32.19
because, Galatians
3:27 says it's by Baptism,
00:40:32.22\00:40:35.46
Baptism that we put
on the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:40:35.49\00:40:38.79
And we have an old Advent hymn.
00:40:38.82\00:40:41.35
We should not forget
those old Adventist hymns,
00:40:41.38\00:40:43.70
we should keep it a
part of the music vocabulary
00:40:43.73\00:40:45.80
in the church and my mind.
00:40:45.83\00:40:47.25
Now we have this old advent
hymn based on this it says
00:40:47.28\00:40:50.02
"Is my name written there,
On the page white and fair?
00:40:50.05\00:40:53.79
In the book of The kingdom,
Is my name written there?"
00:40:53.82\00:40:58.03
So let me ask you how
many of you have your name
00:40:58.06\00:41:00.64
written in the book of Life?
00:41:00.67\00:41:03.27
Every one of you
that have accepted
00:41:03.30\00:41:04.65
Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Savior
00:41:04.68\00:41:08.22
and through the act of
baptism, your name is there.
00:41:08.25\00:41:11.32
That's a precious thing.
00:41:11.35\00:41:13.21
It's a beautiful
thing that we consider
00:41:13.24\00:41:16.07
that our name is written there.
00:41:16.10\00:41:17.94
Now, I am gonna
take you Daniel 7,
00:41:17.97\00:41:20.18
the event where in context
but we are going for Daniel 8:14
00:41:20.21\00:41:23.97
to previous chapter
and it all ties into this
00:41:24.00\00:41:27.06
cleansing of the
sanctuary Daniel 7:9.
00:41:27.09\00:41:30.67
Daniel's is vision and he says,
00:41:30.70\00:41:32.41
"I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
00:41:32.44\00:41:35.39
and the Ancient of
Days took His seat,
00:41:35.42\00:41:38.65
His vesture was like white snow,
00:41:38.68\00:41:41.29
and the hair of His
head like pure wool.
00:41:41.32\00:41:44.07
His throne was
ablaze with flames."
00:41:44.10\00:41:49.06
It's a description of His glory.
00:41:49.09\00:41:51.62
"Its wheels
were a burning fire."
00:41:51.65\00:41:53.72
It is a mobile throne by
the way it's got wheels on it.
00:41:53.75\00:41:57.06
"A river of fire was" can
you get consider in your minds "
00:41:57.09\00:41:59.80
a river of fire was flowing
and coming out from before Him."
00:41:59.83\00:42:05.45
Again this is His glory.
00:42:05.48\00:42:07.24
It's a river of
glory that is proceeding
00:42:07.27\00:42:10.21
from the presence of God.
00:42:10.24\00:42:12.48
It's powerful.
00:42:12.51\00:42:14.46
"Thousands, upon thousands were
attending Him, and myriads."
00:42:14.49\00:42:17.75
That's the word
for ten thousand.
00:42:17.78\00:42:20.16
"Ten thousands
upon ten thousands
00:42:20.19\00:42:23.14
were standing before
him," in the throne room.
00:42:23.17\00:42:27.38
And who are they?
00:42:27.41\00:42:29.19
The angelical of
heaven who had an interest
00:42:29.22\00:42:32.38
in what is happening
in that heavenly temple
00:42:32.41\00:42:34.96
and correspondingly it
was happening upon this earth.
00:42:34.99\00:42:38.88
They're standing
before God by the millions
00:42:38.91\00:42:42.43
and hundreds of millions
within the temple in heaven.
00:42:42.46\00:42:46.82
This is a
structure on like any think
00:42:46.85\00:42:49.61
that we could ever
possibly imagine here on earth.
00:42:49.64\00:42:55.22
As we are
looking again by vision
00:42:55.25\00:42:57.24
into the inner
recesses of this temple.
00:42:57.27\00:42:59.74
And it says "The court sat
and the books were opened."
00:42:59.77\00:43:04.39
Now this is
speaking of judgment.
00:43:04.42\00:43:07.27
And in fact,
the Daniel 7 it says
00:43:07.30\00:43:09.10
"Judgment is given in
favor of the people of God."
00:43:09.13\00:43:13.39
Amen.
00:43:13.42\00:43:15.59
And so we need
not fear the judgment.
00:43:15.62\00:43:19.34
In Revelation 3:5
also place into this.
00:43:19.37\00:43:22.78
Jesus is
speaking "He who overcomes
00:43:22.81\00:43:24.93
shall be thus
clothed in white garments
00:43:24.96\00:43:27.16
and I will not erase his
name from the book of life,
00:43:27.19\00:43:30.46
and I will confess
his name before My Father
00:43:30.49\00:43:33.07
and before His angels."
00:43:33.10\00:43:35.16
The one who overcomes.
00:43:35.19\00:43:38.05
Well, what is that about?
00:43:38.08\00:43:41.38
Well, who is it that
overcame in the first place?
00:43:41.41\00:43:45.41
You got it. I am
glad you got that.
00:43:45.44\00:43:47.16
Number one, Jesus is
the great over comer,
00:43:47.19\00:43:52.48
evil is defeated.
00:43:52.51\00:43:54.94
His enemies are gonna be
made his footstool in the end.
00:43:54.97\00:43:58.59
That is
guaranteed in all of this.
00:43:58.62\00:44:01.47
And because He is
victorious guess what,
00:44:01.50\00:44:05.16
by His grace we
too will be victorious.
00:44:05.19\00:44:10.79
That's the news.
00:44:10.82\00:44:12.42
It's a part of the
gospel but do you see
00:44:12.45\00:44:15.06
we are always free
to turn back, right.
00:44:15.09\00:44:18.28
But you see not
everybody that confesses Jesus
00:44:18.31\00:44:20.13
we will be true
to Him to the end
00:44:20.16\00:44:22.77
until those are
finding are final counting
00:44:22.80\00:44:24.68
as our book of
records are open, okay.
00:44:24.71\00:44:28.70
And those who have turned back,
00:44:28.73\00:44:31.75
who have rejected the
grace which once was there's
00:44:31.78\00:44:36.06
my friend, they
removed from the book.
00:44:36.09\00:44:37.81
It is not
arbitrary, it just recognizing
00:44:37.84\00:44:40.17
what they themselves have done.
00:44:40.20\00:44:42.91
They're no
arbitrariness in this.
00:44:42.94\00:44:44.60
And those who remain
written in the book of life
00:44:44.63\00:44:46.14
what the Jesus
do in His capacity
00:44:46.17\00:44:48.21
as our intercessor in heaven
00:44:48.24\00:44:50.87
He says I will confess
their names before the Father.
00:44:50.90\00:44:55.50
Oh, yes, they have had battles,
00:44:55.53\00:44:57.37
yes they have had their failures
00:44:57.40\00:45:01.25
but by My grace I
claim them as My very own.
00:45:01.28\00:45:05.59
And that we are.
00:45:05.62\00:45:07.19
Amen.
00:45:07.22\00:45:08.28
We are His, and that
confidence and assurance
00:45:08.31\00:45:11.92
should ring sound in the heart
of and mind of every one of us.
00:45:11.95\00:45:15.86
We are His.
00:45:15.89\00:45:18.79
And nothing can touch us.
00:45:18.82\00:45:22.47
Daniel 7 and
going on into verse 13.
00:45:22.50\00:45:25.45
We got this throne room
scene it says in verse 13.
00:45:25.48\00:45:28.66
Daniel said, "I kept
looking in the night visions,
00:45:28.69\00:45:31.04
and behold, with
the clouds of heaven
00:45:31.07\00:45:33.28
One like a Son
of Man was coming,
00:45:33.31\00:45:37.24
and He came up to
the Ancient of Days."
00:45:37.27\00:45:39.57
The son of man
makes his entrance
00:45:39.60\00:45:41.23
in this heavenly
scene before the Father.
00:45:41.26\00:45:43.15
The books are all open there
and it is at this point that
00:45:43.18\00:45:47.25
he makes
confession of his, okay.
00:45:47.28\00:45:51.01
As for Revelation
3:5 fits in and it says
00:45:51.04\00:45:55.09
"And was presented before Him.
00:45:55.12\00:45:57.49
And to Him was given dominion."
00:45:57.52\00:45:59.66
Dominion over what?
00:45:59.69\00:46:01.32
This planet.
00:46:01.35\00:46:02.93
You serve by the evil one.
00:46:02.96\00:46:04.49
"He was given
dominion, glory and a kingdom,
00:46:04.52\00:46:10.06
" So at the end of this scene
00:46:10.09\00:46:11.71
Jesus receives dominion
rights over this planet.
00:46:11.74\00:46:14.73
He recede His kingdom.
00:46:14.76\00:46:16.74
And who is gonna be the king?
00:46:16.77\00:46:19.76
The sacrificed, he
who has sacrificed for us
00:46:19.79\00:46:22.83
who is now priest an
intercede in intercession for us
00:46:22.86\00:46:27.45
then becomes king over us.
00:46:27.48\00:46:30.87
But what is the king
and what is a kingdom
00:46:30.90\00:46:32.66
without a citizenry
00:46:32.69\00:46:36.63
and who will comprise this
citizenship of this kingdom
00:46:36.66\00:46:40.05
over which Jesus will rule?
00:46:40.08\00:46:41.70
You tell me who
are the citizens?
00:46:41.73\00:46:44.32
We are.
00:46:44.35\00:46:45.38
My friend, those whose
names are in the book of Life,
00:46:45.41\00:46:49.54
that's you and me
who are faith in Jesus.
00:46:49.57\00:46:53.65
We will comprise as
citizens of this kingdom.
00:46:53.68\00:46:57.08
And it goes on to say
"That all people's, nations,
00:46:57.11\00:46:59.36
and men of every
language might serve Him
00:46:59.39\00:47:01.91
His dominion is
everlasting dominion
00:47:01.94\00:47:04.07
which will not pass away
00:47:04.10\00:47:06.11
and His kingdom is one
which will not be destroyed.
00:47:06.14\00:47:08.99
But the saints of the Highest
One will receive the kingdom
00:47:09.02\00:47:12.87
and possess the
kingdom for all ages to come."
00:47:12.90\00:47:18.31
And my friend, in my minds
eye I see feverish activity
00:47:18.34\00:47:21.49
taking place in heaven for
00:47:21.52\00:47:23.92
Jesus intercession
is coming to an end.
00:47:23.95\00:47:27.22
They removed those robes of His
00:47:27.25\00:47:30.21
intercessory work from
Him, His priestly robes.
00:47:30.24\00:47:33.75
The angels- I think
they are in incitement.
00:47:33.78\00:47:38.07
They bring that
kingly robe and the scepter
00:47:38.10\00:47:40.95
in they place of His hand
and then they crown him, King.
00:47:40.98\00:47:47.34
And then and Revelation
gives us insights into this
00:47:47.37\00:47:50.91
there's silence in
heaven for a period of time.
00:47:50.94\00:47:53.93
For heaven is
empty at this point.
00:47:53.96\00:47:56.15
As the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords
00:47:56.18\00:47:58.86
with all the
angelicals of heaven
00:47:58.89\00:48:02.33
come to this planet to
claim the people of God
00:48:02.36\00:48:08.07
as their very own.
00:48:08.10\00:48:10.76
Now isn't that good
news, isn't that not exciting?
00:48:10.79\00:48:13.39
Amen.
00:48:13.42\00:48:14.52
Absolutely, this
is all of part of it.
00:48:14.55\00:48:16.68
This is- this is
the high point of it
00:48:16.71\00:48:18.91
that we are
getting we are getting.
00:48:18.94\00:48:20.40
And I'm on tie
into this Revelation 11
00:48:20.43\00:48:23.62
and we are gonna be
looking at verses 15-19.
00:48:23.65\00:48:28.41
Because we are given
we are given insights
00:48:28.44\00:48:31.11
envisioned by John
into this very scene
00:48:31.14\00:48:34.80
as it coming to an end
in the temple of heaven.
00:48:34.83\00:48:36.70
Here it is verse 15
"Then the seventh angel"
00:48:36.73\00:48:39.90
seventh means the end this hand.
00:48:39.93\00:48:42.17
"Sounded, and
there were loud voices"
00:48:42.20\00:48:45.09
picture this,
loud voices in heaven.
00:48:45.12\00:48:48.13
And they were saying,
notice what they are saying,
00:48:48.16\00:48:49.90
"The kingdom of the world has
become the kingdom of our Lord
00:48:49.93\00:48:53.65
and of His Christ and He
will reign forever and ever.
00:48:53.68\00:48:58.52
And the twenty-four elders,
00:48:58.55\00:48:59.65
who sit on their
thrones before God,
00:48:59.68\00:49:01.67
fell on their
faces and worshiped God,
00:49:01.70\00:49:04.26
" it's a powerful scene.
00:49:04.29\00:49:05.64
"Saying, 'We give You thanks,
O Lord God, the Almighty,
00:49:05.67\00:49:09.31
who are and who were, because
You have taken Your great power
00:49:09.34\00:49:13.30
and have begun to reign.'
00:49:13.33\00:49:15.70
" I wonder they are so excited
00:49:15.73\00:49:17.13
and you and I
will be excited too.
00:49:17.16\00:49:18.62
Won't we?
00:49:18.65\00:49:19.92
And notice what's
happening on earth
00:49:19.95\00:49:21.16
"And the nations were
enraged, and Your wrath came,
00:49:21.19\00:49:24.51
and the time came for
the dead to be judged,
00:49:24.54\00:49:26.78
and the time to reward."
00:49:26.81\00:49:28.46
The time of rewards has come.
00:49:28.49\00:49:30.23
To reward "Your bond-servants
the prophets and the saints
00:49:30.26\00:49:33.84
and those who fear Your
name, the small and the great,
00:49:33.87\00:49:36.71
and to destroy those
who destroy the earth."
00:49:36.74\00:49:39.77
Time there is a
time of judgment.
00:49:39.80\00:49:42.10
And then it says
"And the temple of God
00:49:42.13\00:49:44.05
which is in heaven was opened
00:49:44.08\00:49:45.50
and the ark of His
covenant appeared in His temple,
00:49:45.53\00:49:48.03
and there were
flashes of lightning
00:49:48.06\00:49:49.65
and sounds and peals of thunder
00:49:49.68\00:49:51.77
and an earthquake
and a great hailstorm."
00:49:51.80\00:49:54.53
Remember, that
universal earthquake
00:49:54.56\00:49:56.72
that takes place at the
coming of Jesus on the earth?
00:49:56.75\00:50:00.76
That's what's pictured here.
00:50:00.79\00:50:03.55
Wow, powerful.
00:50:03.58\00:50:05.99
But those words back
in verse 15 where it says,
00:50:06.02\00:50:08.93
there's loud voices in
heaven and they're declaring,
00:50:08.96\00:50:12.10
those words are
to be familiar to us.
00:50:12.13\00:50:13.93
I am gonna take you
there in song in just a moment.
00:50:13.96\00:50:16.47
That decoration, in heaven
the kingdoms of this world
00:50:16.50\00:50:20.12
have become the kingdoms
of our Lord and of this Christ
00:50:20.15\00:50:22.91
and He will
reign forever and ever.
00:50:22.94\00:50:28.15
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah
00:50:37.00\00:50:43.49

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

00:51:32.20\00:51:39.33
The kingdom of this world
00:51:43.78\00:51:47.29
Is become
00:51:50.55\00:51:53.51
The kingdom of our lord
00:51:53.54\00:51:56.99
And of his
Christ, and of his Christ
00:51:57.02\00:52:01.79
And he shall
reign for ever and ever
00:52:01.82\00:52:06.63
And he shall
reign for ever and ever
00:52:06.66\00:52:12.39
And he shall
reign for ever and ever

King of Kings
00:52:23.74\00:52:29.75
And lord of lords

King of Kings For ever and ever

Hallelujah, hallelujah
00:52:41.27\00:52:43.20

Hallelujah, hallelujah
00:52:47.89\00:52:50.45
King of Kings For ever and ever

hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:52:54.65\00:52:57.07
And lord of

00:52:57.10\00:53:03.61
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:53:20.96\00:53:23.12
And he shall reign
for ever for ever and ever
00:53:23.15\00:53:29.90
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords
00:53:29.93\00:53:34.21
King of Kings and Lord of Lords
00:53:34.24\00:53:38.12
And he shall reign
for ever for ever and ever
00:53:38.15\00:53:44.29
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah
00:53:48.91\00:53:54.42
Hallelujah
00:53:54.45\00:54:00.42
Well, they sounded
something like that.
00:54:07.54\00:54:09.96
Didn't they?
00:54:09.99\00:54:12.25
But so much better
00:54:12.28\00:54:15.67
and we too when Jesus comes.
00:54:15.70\00:54:19.29
We too will sing as from
the earth we are caught up
00:54:19.32\00:54:24.42
to meet the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords.
00:54:24.45\00:54:29.56
And we too will blend our voices
00:54:29.59\00:54:32.30
with those of
their heavenly hosts.
00:54:32.33\00:54:35.43
As we see His praises
00:54:35.46\00:54:38.11
as we enter into that eternity
00:54:38.14\00:54:42.03
that He purchase at
such an awful price for us.
00:54:42.06\00:54:46.81
Now we enjoy unspeakable
00:54:46.84\00:54:50.65
to know the
darkness is behind us,
00:54:50.68\00:54:54.27
the victory is one
00:54:54.30\00:54:57.96
and at last we will
be at rest in peace.
00:54:57.99\00:55:01.44
