in-depth study of the doubt
00:00:20.52\00:00:25.45
in the minors.
00:00:25.45\00:00:30.39
>> Welcome to 3 Avian Camp
meeting 2023 praise the Lord.
00:00:30.39\00:00:36.33
The topics majoring in the
minors looking at the minor
00:00:36.33\00:00:40.50
prophets and the major
messages that are in them.
00:00:40.50\00:00:44.14
Have you been
blessed with the same men?
00:00:44.14\00:00:47.74
Praise the lord. Praise the
Lord. We have people here from
00:00:47.74\00:00:50.65
all over the U.S. anyone
come from out of the country.
00:00:50.65\00:00:56.38
Not this time.
Maybe they're on their way
00:00:56.38\00:01:00.22
during this hour. We have a
wonderful message from God's
00:01:00.22\00:01:04.16
word, the title of the
messages, these the desire of
00:01:04.16\00:01:08.53
all nations. This
is taken from Heidi. I
00:01:08.53\00:01:12.70
chapter 2 verse 7. The
speaker is Doctor David Sheehan.
00:01:12.70\00:01:18.17
He's a speaker and an educator.
00:01:18.17\00:01:20.68
He has been a pastor for over
17 years. Also been an adjunct
00:01:20.68\00:01:25.28
teacher at Andrews University.
00:01:25.28\00:01:28.65
If you have ever heard
him speak, you will notice
00:01:28.65\00:01:32.42
that he has to. I love and a
passion for deep study of God's
00:01:32.42\00:01:37.83
word. So we can look forward
to hearing a message from God's
00:01:37.83\00:01:42.23
word.
00:01:42.23\00:01:43.26
He has done much prayer
and study and we are asking
00:01:43.26\00:01:49.30
also for you to pray for
him. So they got to use in once
00:01:49.30\00:01:52.94
again as he has done in
the past. He's a father and a
00:01:52.94\00:01:56.91
husband and above all things.
He is a child of God. Amen.
00:01:56.91\00:02:02.35
During this hour, we also have
the blessing of Pass to Ryan
00:02:02.35\00:02:06.32
Day. He will be
singing in just a moment.
00:02:06.32\00:02:09.82
A song, a message in song
actually Let my words Beef.
00:02:09.82\00:02:14.73
You let my words be

song. We're going to hear God's
00:02:26.24\00:02:29.24

Praise God for can't meeting.
00:06:56.04\00:06:58.91
Praise God for 3 avn a man.
00:06:58.91\00:07:02.15
Let us pray.
00:07:02.15\00:07:04.45
Our father in heaven.
00:07:04.45\00:07:06.49
We do stand in awe of you
00:07:06.49\00:07:11.66
faithfulness.
Your tender mercies
00:07:11.66\00:07:15.56
grace is that we don't deserve.
00:07:15.56\00:07:18.73
Give us chance after chance,
opportunity after opportunity.
00:07:18.73\00:07:24.57
And yet here we are.
00:07:24.57\00:07:27.84
And we thank you
for this camp meeting
00:07:27.84\00:07:30.65
that we can focus
00:07:30.65\00:07:32.81
on these major
messages in the minor prophets
00:07:32.81\00:07:37.92
speak to our hearts.
00:07:37.92\00:07:40.16
Lord, you know that
my feet are made of clay
00:07:40.16\00:07:43.12
and I pray that you
would use this week vessel
00:07:43.12\00:07:47.50
for your glory
00:07:47.50\00:07:49.16
in Jesus, precious name.
We ask and pray these things.
00:07:49.16\00:07:54.77
When I was an Academy
00:07:57.61\00:08:00.04
High school,
00:08:00.04\00:08:02.31
I developed this bad habit
00:08:02.31\00:08:04.95
of stealing from the cafeteria.
00:08:04.95\00:08:10.92
And it's amazing how we
rationalize things. After all,
00:08:10.92\00:08:13.76
I said I pay tuition
00:08:13.76\00:08:17.89
and so I would
supplement my meals by.
00:08:17.89\00:08:21.36
>> Systematic regular
raids with Mike Padres of the
00:08:21.36\00:08:24.80
cafeteria ice
cream, soda and the like.
00:08:24.80\00:08:29.54
And on this particular week
day it was during the summer.
00:08:29.54\00:08:32.57
The cafeteria
was not in operation
00:08:32.57\00:08:36.11
and we developed this
sophisticated or at least we
00:08:36.11\00:08:38.75
thought system
00:08:38.75\00:08:42.08
relays. I was going to be
pretending like I was working
00:08:42.08\00:08:48.16
painting a light post which was
my that job during the summer
00:08:48.16\00:08:52.29
and there was going to be
another relate person at the
00:08:52.29\00:08:54.76
cafeteria door. Wow. My friends
were breaking into the pantry.
00:08:54.76\00:09:01.77
They were climbing over
the wall into the pantry is
00:09:01.77\00:09:04.84
removable ceilings and the
guy that was going over, they
00:09:04.84\00:09:08.48
should pick me looking back.
00:09:08.48\00:09:10.21
He was like 6 foot, 3 big guy
00:09:10.21\00:09:13.98
and it couldn't hold his
weight. So he fell through
00:09:13.98\00:09:17.22
big gaping hole
00:09:17.22\00:09:18.99
and to make matters
worse. There was the maintenance
00:09:18.99\00:09:21.52
worker that was coming around
the corner. Going up to the
00:09:21.52\00:09:23.99
calf side, looked up my
relay. My relay man was gone.
00:09:23.99\00:09:28.26
So in my short Korean legs, I
ran as fast as I could into the
00:09:28.26\00:09:32.80
cafeteria. And I said get out.
00:09:32.80\00:09:36.24
He's coming
00:09:36.24\00:09:39.67
and rather than leaving with
the other individuals at the
00:09:39.67\00:09:41.91
same door, I left out the back,
00:09:41.91\00:09:45.71
the maintenance man
00:09:45.71\00:09:49.85
and he said, what
are you doing here?
00:09:49.85\00:09:52.52
Not only was I Fi Fi was a liar
00:09:52.52\00:09:56.36
and I said I'm using the pass.
00:09:56.36\00:10:00.80
He said don't coming year again.
00:10:00.80\00:10:03.00
I said yes, sir.
00:10:03.00\00:10:04.83
And I walked away
in the crazy thing is
00:10:04.83\00:10:08.64
they didn't check that pantry a
few days later so they couldn't
00:10:08.64\00:10:11.67
tied to us. And
so I we got away with
00:10:11.67\00:10:17.05
later on
00:10:17.05\00:10:18.98
after conversion.
Holy Spirit convicted me
00:10:18.98\00:10:22.05
and I to make restitution amen,
00:10:22.05\00:10:24.79
which means paying it back.
00:10:24.79\00:10:28.89
I remember vividly
00:10:28.89\00:10:31.89
the memory and our
memories are tied to emotions.
00:10:31.89\00:10:36.00
I remember the emotion of
walking out the back of that
00:10:36.00\00:10:39.43
cafeteria and meeting that man.
00:10:39.43\00:10:41.70
And there's something about
that experience. I could not
00:10:41.70\00:10:45.34
look at his face.
00:10:45.34\00:10:49.34
I didn't want to
make eye contact.
00:10:49.34\00:10:52.28
I looked down
00:10:52.28\00:10:55.28
and the reason is up next
00:10:55.28\00:10:57.92
because of my boots.
00:10:57.92\00:11:00.22
Mice in a
00:11:00.22\00:11:01.46
I could not look at the
face of that individual.
00:11:01.46\00:11:06.80
Now one day
00:11:06.80\00:11:08.46
we're going to able to
look at the face of G's
00:11:08.46\00:11:12.30
and I want to look down.
00:11:12.30\00:11:14.47
I want to be able
to look into his face,
00:11:14.47\00:11:18.81
open your Bibles. The book of
Revelation Revelation Chapter 6
00:11:18.81\00:11:22.71
and this is the nightmare
experience that none of us ever
00:11:22.71\00:11:26.15
want to have. When we
look at the face of God,
00:11:26.15\00:11:30.52
this is the
00:11:30.52\00:11:31.65
reaction that we do not want
to have revelation Chapter 6
00:11:31.65\00:11:41.56
and there's 14.
00:11:41.56\00:11:44.90
Then the sky receded as a
scroll when it is rolled up
00:11:44.90\00:11:49.10
and every Mountain island was
moved out of its place and the
00:11:49.10\00:11:52.87
kings of the
years, the rich man,
00:11:52.87\00:11:55.81
the great men, the
commanders, the mighty man,
00:11:55.81\00:11:59.75
every slee slave in every free
man hid themselves in the caves
00:11:59.75\00:12:05.35
in the mountains
00:12:05.35\00:12:07.09
and the rocks of the mountains
and said to the mountains and
00:12:07.09\00:12:10.63
rocks falls on us
and hide this from the
00:12:10.63\00:12:17.13
of him who sits on the throw
and from the wrath of the land
00:12:17.13\00:12:22.07
for the great day of his wrath
is come and who shall be able
00:12:22.07\00:12:26.91
to stand?
00:12:26.91\00:12:30.68
The reaction that
none of us one half.
00:12:30.68\00:12:35.02
But this is the reaction of
the majority of people on planet
00:12:35.02\00:12:38.19
Earth at this time.
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.26
They can't look at us
00:12:40.26\00:12:42.19
face
00:12:42.19\00:12:43.89
notice that
00:12:43.89\00:12:45.39
they are hiding
from the face of Jesus.
00:12:45.39\00:12:49.06
They're calling for the
mountains and rocks to fall on
00:12:49.06\00:12:51.77
them because they say
we can't look at his face.
00:12:51.77\00:12:56.47
And the question is why
00:12:56.47\00:12:58.77
why can't these individuals
look at the face of Jesus?
00:12:58.77\00:13:03.08
And so here is
our thesis question
00:13:03.08\00:13:08.12
for our study here this morning.
00:13:08.12\00:13:10.95
Watch is the criteria.
00:13:10.95\00:13:13.89
What is the condition for being
able to look at the face of
00:13:13.89\00:13:17.43
GAAP
00:13:17.43\00:13:18.59
and not hide?
00:13:18.59\00:13:21.33
I want to be a
look at his face. Amen
00:13:21.33\00:13:24.03
and not be like, oh,
00:13:24.03\00:13:27.37
I want to run from his
presence, you know, in the
00:13:27.37\00:13:29.67
south
00:13:29.67\00:13:31.04
as cockroaches.
00:13:31.04\00:13:34.41
I live in
Arkansas. I've never seen
00:13:34.41\00:13:38.68
extra terrestrial
looking organisms before
00:13:38.68\00:13:43.55
right out of the shower.
00:13:46.52\00:13:49.16
And there was.
00:13:49.16\00:13:51.03
But this pick and
I'm not exaggerating
00:13:54.10\00:13:56.90
crawling across the floor
00:13:56.90\00:14:01.84
and every now and then you flip
on a light in the room and it's
00:14:01.84\00:14:04.31
like,
00:14:04.31\00:14:06.17
but that's the scene here.
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.55
The lights are on. They can't
look at the face of Jesus and
00:14:13.55\00:14:16.52
it's like cockroaches. With
all due respect, headed for the
00:14:16.52\00:14:20.52
nearest cover.
00:14:20.52\00:14:22.39
If Jesus were
to enter this room,
00:14:26.09\00:14:29.16
it's like a low friends.
00:14:31.70\00:14:34.34
What would be your reaction?
00:14:34.34\00:14:37.27
I pray. It's not like
cockroaches, right job.
00:14:37.27\00:14:41.98
That's the scene here.
00:14:44.88\00:14:46.48
He just shows up.
00:14:46.48\00:14:49.42
You ever want
to run from a lamb?
00:14:49.42\00:14:52.05
I was the most ridiculous
00:14:52.05\00:14:54.62
hi to us from the wrath of
the lamb. I mean, it be like the
00:14:54.62\00:14:57.13
wrath of a lion. But the wrath
of the lamb. This is the most
00:14:57.13\00:15:00.96
in logical thing
that's going on here.
00:15:00.96\00:15:04.37
Jesus shows up and they're like
get me out of here because we
00:15:04.37\00:15:10.61
can't look at his face.
00:15:10.61\00:15:14.28
What's the condition? What's
the criteria for being able to
00:15:14.28\00:15:17.01
look at the face of got
00:15:17.01\00:15:19.45
with me in your
Bibles, Texas chapter? 33
00:15:19.45\00:15:23.55
Moses. They're on Mount Sinai
has the audacity to ask God to
00:15:23.55\00:15:29.26
show him his face
00:15:29.26\00:15:35.33
Mount Sinai.
00:15:35.33\00:15:36.77
He's about to receive the 10
Commandments and Moses. They're
00:15:36.77\00:15:39.83
having a conversation with God
and evidently he was unable to
00:15:39.83\00:15:43.64
see the face of God
00:15:43.64\00:15:46.94
in this community.
00:15:46.94\00:15:49.24
In this conversation.
00:15:49.24\00:15:51.11
He makes this bold
00:15:51.11\00:15:53.72
stations request and he
says, please show me your glory
00:15:53.72\00:16:03.46
and then verse 20,
00:16:05.89\00:16:08.46
he says
00:16:08.46\00:16:09.60
you can not see my face.
00:16:09.60\00:16:15.17
You see that
00:16:15.17\00:16:16.44
you can't see my face for
no man can see me and live.
00:16:16.44\00:16:23.58
So here's the problem.
00:16:23.58\00:16:25.41
Do you think God wants to
have a face-to-face conversation
00:16:25.41\00:16:27.65
with us?
00:16:27.65\00:16:28.65
Absolutely.
00:16:28.65\00:16:30.19
The conversation is the
relationship, but he can't
00:16:30.19\00:16:34.62
because if he shows his face
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.59
a theme that is from
throughout scripture,
00:16:41.66\00:16:44.50
God wants to come close. He
wants to come near. He wants
00:16:44.50\00:16:47.27
to have this relationship with
us, but he can't because if he
00:16:47.27\00:16:50.14
shows his face, we die.
00:16:50.14\00:16:53.78
And so in this conversation
with Moses on Mount Sinai use,
00:16:53.78\00:16:58.51
you see God making
divine accommodation.
00:16:58.51\00:17:03.32
He's so gracious is any
00:17:03.32\00:17:06.79
you can't see my face.
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.89
I tell you why.
00:17:08.89\00:17:10.53
There's a there's
a crack in the rock
00:17:10.53\00:17:13.90
and went on to slip in.
00:17:13.90\00:17:17.33
And as I put my hand over
the rock and as I passed by,
00:17:17.33\00:17:21.70
I'm going to remove my hand
00:17:21.70\00:17:24.31
and you can see my back.
00:17:24.31\00:17:28.54
So you can just imagine there
he is with his hand on the rock
00:17:28.54\00:17:31.98
goes by says, All right, Moses,
you can look at my back and you
00:17:31.98\00:17:34.85
can just imagine my sanctified
imagination. Moses is looking
00:17:34.85\00:17:38.45
out there. It's like,
oh, and he looks at the back.
00:17:38.45\00:17:43.83
What happened when he
got down from the mountain.
00:17:43.83\00:17:47.40
Like 1000 watt
00:17:50.73\00:17:53.03
spotlight
00:17:53.03\00:17:55.30
and there's
rely too like please,
00:17:55.30\00:17:58.24
but a ban on.
00:17:58.24\00:17:59.94
We can look at your face
00:17:59.94\00:18:02.21
and that's
after looking at them.
00:18:02.21\00:18:04.41
Something
changed after you're done
00:18:10.22\00:18:13.42
because needing
00:18:13.42\00:18:14.99
Adam money
00:18:14.99\00:18:16.83
could have
00:18:16.83\00:18:18.16
face to face.
00:18:18.16\00:18:20.73
Imagine that
00:18:20.73\00:18:22.53
just like its
00:18:22.53\00:18:23.80
just like you and I are
looking at each other right now.
00:18:23.80\00:18:27.10
God would come down
00:18:27.10\00:18:28.94
face to face,
00:18:28.94\00:18:31.87
but education, age 15.
00:18:31.87\00:18:34.51
Listen to this
00:18:34.51\00:18:35.91
face to face
00:18:35.91\00:18:37.55
Hart to Hart
Communion with its maker
00:18:37.55\00:18:40.35
was his high privilege
00:18:40.35\00:18:42.55
and had he remained loyal
to got all this would have been
00:18:42.55\00:18:46.55
his for ever
00:18:46.55\00:18:50.03
throughout the seasons
ages of paternity. He would have
00:18:50.03\00:18:52.59
continued to gain new treasures
of knowledge to discover fresh
00:18:52.59\00:18:56.50
springs of happiness and
to obtain clear and yet clear
00:18:56.50\00:19:00.87
conceptions of his wisdom, the
power and the love of God more
00:19:00.87\00:19:05.14
and more fully what you
have revealed the object of his
00:19:05.14\00:19:08.98
creation. More and more fully
have reflected the creators
00:19:08.98\00:19:13.62
glory.
00:19:13.62\00:19:15.98
But something happened
00:19:15.98\00:19:17.69
after the fall face-to-face
00:19:17.69\00:19:20.66
no longer possible.
00:19:20.66\00:19:23.89
Even with most
00:19:23.89\00:19:25.59
he says, you can look at my back
00:19:25.59\00:19:29.03
but got
00:19:29.03\00:19:30.53
is it got
00:19:30.53\00:19:31.93
that wants to accommodate.
00:19:31.93\00:19:35.47
In other words,
00:19:35.47\00:19:36.94
he wants the breach the golf,
00:19:36.94\00:19:39.94
but he has to do it in a
particular way so that we are
00:19:39.94\00:19:43.88
not pulverized by his presence.
00:19:43.88\00:19:47.45
And so an Exodus
chapter, 20 fivers 8,
00:19:47.45\00:19:50.92
let them build me a sanctuary
00:19:50.92\00:19:53.79
that I may dwell among them.
00:19:53.79\00:19:57.63
I want them to put the slide
00:19:57.63\00:19:59.63
of the mosaic sanctuary on the
screen for you. It's a bird's
00:19:59.63\00:20:03.37
eye view of the sanctuary
that was given to Moses.
00:20:03.37\00:20:09.64
You can see it
there on the screen and
00:20:09.64\00:20:12.37
you have 3 compartments,
the courtyard, the Holy Place in
00:20:12.37\00:20:16.64
the most holy place, Adam and
Eve before the fall or in the
00:20:16.64\00:20:21.55
most Holy Place experience,
they were able to have that
00:20:21.55\00:20:25.22
Chicana
00:20:25.22\00:20:26.65
glory revealed to
them without debt.
00:20:26.65\00:20:31.36
But you can see
00:20:31.36\00:20:33.96
in the sanctuary
00:20:33.96\00:20:36.20
God brings haven't down.
00:20:36.20\00:20:40.67
But he has to
accommodate in a particular way.
00:20:40.67\00:20:46.11
Notice there's no floor
in the sanctuary. How the 2,
00:20:46.11\00:20:50.15
in other words haven't
has come all the way down.
00:20:50.15\00:20:55.05
But it has to be wrapped.
00:20:55.05\00:20:57.75
Follow me.
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.59
It's not wrapped in a
00:20:59.59\00:21:01.52
chainlink fence.
00:21:01.52\00:21:04.13
It doesn't look
like sand Quinn. 10
00:21:04.13\00:21:06.96
Quinton anyways. I
don't even a penitentiary.
00:21:06.96\00:21:12.40
It doesn't look like
that. It's wrapped in Lynn.
00:21:12.40\00:21:17.37
It's veiled
00:21:17.37\00:21:19.27
in the New Testament. It
says that the veil is his fletch
00:21:19.27\00:21:24.08
in that interesting.
00:21:24.08\00:21:25.61
In other words, this is divine
accommodation. The glory of God
00:21:25.61\00:21:30.22
as manifested in the ark of
the Covenant comes all the way
00:21:30.22\00:21:33.62
down. But it's wrapped up.
00:21:33.62\00:21:36.89
It's bail.
00:21:36.89\00:21:38.83
The the divinity
of Christ is shrouded.
00:21:38.83\00:21:44.60
God wants to come near. He
wants to come close. He wants
00:21:44.60\00:21:47.40
to have conversation, but
he can't because of sin. And so
00:21:47.40\00:21:51.11
gaunt says, look, build me
a tabernacle because I want to
00:21:51.11\00:21:54.08
come close. But you can't look
at me directly and I'm going to
00:21:54.08\00:21:57.38
fail it
00:21:57.38\00:21:59.41
in the end
00:21:59.41\00:22:02.58
and the sanctuary,
the process of salvation.
00:22:02.58\00:22:06.29
It's very simple.
00:22:06.29\00:22:09.32
Even last
00:22:09.32\00:22:11.69
even restored
00:22:11.69\00:22:14.20
face to face in Eden last
00:22:14.20\00:22:18.03
it's going to be restored
00:22:18.03\00:22:21.44
and the sanctuary
00:22:21.44\00:22:23.71
is the path
00:22:23.71\00:22:26.07
to the throne of God.
00:22:26.07\00:22:29.28
The scene in our
lives is the prop
00:22:29.28\00:22:33.52
and the sanctuary. Is that the
mode? The illustration of how
00:22:33.52\00:22:39.09
God brings us back to that
face to face encounter with God
00:22:39.09\00:22:45.53
Courtyard, justification
delivers us from the penalty of
00:22:45.53\00:22:49.63
Sen
00:22:49.63\00:22:51.13
hold. The place
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.10
delivers us from
the power U.S. in.
00:22:53.10\00:22:56.27
And the most Holy Place
delivers us from the presence
00:22:56.27\00:23:00.31
of Sin,
00:23:00.31\00:23:02.08
Kinder Garden illustration
00:23:02.08\00:23:04.85
of how God brings us all
the way back to the throne room.
00:23:04.85\00:23:10.22
Obvious grace,
00:23:10.22\00:23:13.76
Open your bibles to
for Samuel Chapter 6.
00:23:13.76\00:23:17.76
We have this incident that
occurs in the Old Testament
00:23:17.76\00:23:20.73
where the ark of the
covenant is stolen away
00:23:20.73\00:23:24.23
by the Philistines
00:23:27.00\00:23:30.34
and the Philistines are having
all kinds of problems. So they
00:23:30.34\00:23:34.78
decide to send the ark of the
covenant back to the children
00:23:34.78\00:23:38.45
of Israel,
00:23:38.45\00:23:39.91
the hitch it to a cart
00:23:39.91\00:23:42.75
and they have these
00:23:42.75\00:23:45.15
Oxon
00:23:45.15\00:23:47.92
Cowles pull it
00:23:47.92\00:23:50.36
into the camp of Israel or into
a city of Israel called the she
00:23:50.36\00:23:55.06
Mitch
00:23:55.06\00:23:56.80
and the ark of the
covenant was covered
00:23:56.80\00:24:00.34
a linen Closs. And if you study
the Old Testament, it was a
00:24:00.34\00:24:04.47
clos of blue.
00:24:04.47\00:24:07.88
And in for Samuel Chapter 6,
the children of Israel go and
00:24:07.88\00:24:14.72
surround the ark of the
covenant in. You remember this
00:24:14.72\00:24:17.15
story?
00:24:17.15\00:24:18.29
They have the audacity
00:24:18.29\00:24:21.36
uncover
00:24:21.36\00:24:22.82
the Ark of the
Covenant. Remember that story?
00:24:22.82\00:24:25.23
So the uncover the
Ark of the Covenant
00:24:25.23\00:24:28.16
for Samuel Chapter 6 and Versed
19. Then he struck the men
00:24:28.16\00:24:34.30
abyss. She much
because they had looked
00:24:34.30\00:24:38.11
at the arc of the Lord.
00:24:38.11\00:24:39.74
He struck 50,000 and 70 men,
00:24:39.74\00:24:46.08
50,070 men of the people and
the people lamented because the
00:24:46.08\00:24:52.42
Lord had struck the people with
a great slaughter. Do you see
00:24:52.42\00:24:56.69
what's happening here?
00:24:56.69\00:24:58.16
The Chacon, a glory
represents the face of God
00:24:58.16\00:25:02.46
and they uncover it
00:25:02.46\00:25:04.93
1000 people
00:25:04.93\00:25:07.20
and in verse 20
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.61
look at what they say
00:25:14.61\00:25:17.11
and the man
abyss. She Mitch said,
00:25:17.11\00:25:20.62
who is able to
stand before this? Holy
00:25:20.62\00:25:28.19
have your that statement
before member revelation
00:25:28.19\00:25:31.59
who should be able to stand.
00:25:31.59\00:25:34.93
It's almost a direct quote,
00:25:34.93\00:25:38.17
this passage in for Samuel who
can stand in the presence of a
00:25:38.17\00:25:44.07
hole they got.
00:25:44.07\00:25:46.68
We see this
indication in scripture
00:25:46.68\00:25:50.05
that God wants to come
near. He wants to come close. He
00:25:50.05\00:25:54.42
wants to reveal himself to
humanity, but he is limited by
00:25:54.42\00:25:59.62
our sinfulness. And so
he shrouds his divinity
00:25:59.62\00:26:04.29
any particular way, any
particular package so that he
00:26:04.29\00:26:08.36
can
00:26:08.36\00:26:09.26
reveal himself to us,
00:26:09.26\00:26:12.93
which brings us
00:26:15.70\00:26:19.11
our passage of reflection as
we focus on the minor prophets
00:26:19.11\00:26:22.98
open your bibles
to the book of Hat Yai
00:26:22.98\00:26:25.25
Haggi. I chapter 2
00:26:25.25\00:26:27.88
and there are 7, 9, wins.
Last time you looked at the
00:26:27.88\00:26:31.12
book of Haggi. I you
know, these minor prophets.
00:26:31.12\00:26:35.36
Amazing, you know,
white indicates that the minor
00:26:35.36\00:26:38.03
prophets in particular have a
message for those living in the
00:26:38.03\00:26:42.73
last days. So
here it is. Haggi I
00:26:42.73\00:26:46.47
chapter 2 and verse 7
00:26:46.47\00:26:50.54
and 9
00:26:50.54\00:26:52.87
and I will shake
00:26:52.87\00:26:54.71
all the nations
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.34
and they shall come to the
desire of all nations. It's the
00:26:56.34\00:27:02.25
desire of the ages
as Ivan might puts it
00:27:02.25\00:27:06.32
and I will fill this temple.
00:27:06.32\00:27:09.49
>> With glory says the Lord
of hosts, the Silver is mine in
00:27:09.49\00:27:13.53
the gold is mined says the Lord
of hosts the glory of the this
00:27:13.53\00:27:17.50
Ladder Temple shall be greater.
Then the farmer says the Lord
00:27:17.50\00:27:21.90
of hosts and in this place, I
will give peace, says the Lord
00:27:21.90\00:27:26.94
of hosts few
observations about this passage,
00:27:26.94\00:27:31.88
the preacher whole sermon on
the desire of all the nations.
00:27:31.88\00:27:37.42
He is
00:27:37.42\00:27:39.49
the fulfillment of
all our desires. A man
00:27:39.49\00:27:42.76
Blaise Pascal says he's a got
shaped hole in all of us that
00:27:42.76\00:27:45.49
only he can fill this vacuum
is a boy. There's an emptiness
00:27:45.49\00:27:49.40
inside all of us and all of
us need the desire of the H s
00:27:49.40\00:27:56.81
you're looking for
something in your life.
00:27:56.81\00:27:59.11
Emptiness void.
There is no relationship.
00:27:59.11\00:28:03.24
Human relationship that can
fulfill you like Jesus can't a
00:28:03.24\00:28:06.65
man. There's no bank account.
00:28:06.65\00:28:09.72
There's no
pleasure. There's no drug.
00:28:09.72\00:28:13.42
There's no 401 k. I'm sorry.
00:28:13.42\00:28:16.73
You can be a billionaire and
absolutely miserable. He is the
00:28:16.73\00:28:20.70
desire of the ages. Amen.
00:28:20.70\00:28:23.30
And only God can fill that
void in your heart and mind
00:28:23.30\00:28:27.90
this design of
the DJ's Haggi I sets.
00:28:27.90\00:28:31.97
We'll fill this temple
00:28:31.97\00:28:34.61
with his glory.
00:28:34.61\00:28:38.01
Look at the
historical context of this
00:28:38.01\00:28:42.42
in Moses Temple.
The Chacon was there
00:28:42.42\00:28:48.09
in Solomon's temple. When
you read about the dedication
00:28:48.09\00:28:51.53
he prays and the glory
of God feels that temple.
00:28:51.53\00:28:56.46
But had the eye is talking
in the post, the link period
00:28:56.46\00:29:01.74
when they rebuilt
the temple and they left
00:29:01.74\00:29:04.67
because it paled in comparison
to the Solomon's temple
00:29:04.67\00:29:10.85
and the glory.
00:29:10.85\00:29:12.91
But Haggi I set one day
00:29:16.25\00:29:19.45
the desire of the h ouse.
We'll fill this temple with his
00:29:19.45\00:29:24.96
glory
00:29:24.96\00:29:26.16
and he says
00:29:26.16\00:29:27.66
that the glory often ladder
00:29:27.66\00:29:32.20
will be greater.
00:29:32.20\00:29:33.87
Then the glory
00:29:33.87\00:29:35.44
of the form.
00:29:35.44\00:29:37.41
In other words, Solomon's Glory,
00:29:40.38\00:29:44.41
8, nothing
00:29:44.41\00:29:48.45
Moses, blah, rate
00:29:48.45\00:29:50.49
8, nothing either.
00:29:50.49\00:29:52.49
Because this glory,
00:29:52.49\00:29:54.62
it's something to be.
00:29:54.62\00:29:59.46
How did you come up,
00:29:59.46\00:30:01.66
John? Chapter one and verse
14 and listen to the language of
00:30:01.66\00:30:05.70
this passage. John Chapter
one verse 14 and the word became
00:30:05.70\00:30:10.51
flesh,
00:30:10.51\00:30:12.34
became failed,
00:30:15.58\00:30:17.45
became incarnate,
became as one of us
00:30:17.45\00:30:21.75
and dwelt among us to see the
Old Testament theme that he's
00:30:21.75\00:30:26.19
waving here, weaving here
next attempt. 25 per state.
00:30:26.19\00:30:30.63
Let them build me a sanctuary
that I may do well among them.
00:30:30.63\00:30:34.63
But in this case,
he says, like, look,
00:30:34.63\00:30:37.20
this is the real glory.
00:30:37.20\00:30:40.04
It's going to be wrapped up.
00:30:40.04\00:30:42.04
It's going to be wrapped
and veiled not in London, but in
00:30:42.04\00:30:45.41
humanity. And it's
going to dwell among us
00:30:45.41\00:30:49.51
and look at this
and we be h*** he is.
00:30:49.51\00:30:53.92
Laurie,
00:30:53.92\00:30:57.45
in other words,
00:30:57.45\00:31:00.76
ultimate divine accommodation.
00:31:00.76\00:31:04.69
He's not just building a house.
00:31:04.69\00:31:07.36
He says a body
00:31:07.36\00:31:09.00
now has prepared for me.
00:31:09.00\00:31:11.50
And I got to wrap
this divinity in humanity
00:31:11.50\00:31:15.67
so that then when they look
at my face that looking at the
00:31:15.67\00:31:18.97
face off
00:31:18.97\00:31:23.18
and the word became flesh and
dwelt among us and we be held
00:31:23.18\00:31:27.68
his glory, the glory as I'm
the only be gotten of the father
00:31:27.68\00:31:33.56
full of grace and truth.
00:31:33.56\00:31:37.23
Some translation say the
word became flesh and tabernacle
00:31:37.23\00:31:42.83
among us
00:31:42.83\00:31:44.63
praises.
00:31:44.63\00:31:46.84
So had the eye
00:31:46.84\00:31:48.54
predicting
00:31:48.54\00:31:50.74
the full film it
00:31:50.74\00:31:53.11
and this school
00:31:55.74\00:31:57.71
it's going to pass
00:31:57.71\00:31:59.78
the previous glory
00:31:59.78\00:32:02.22
desire of ages page. 23,
00:32:02.22\00:32:06.09
he says a body
has now prepared me
00:32:06.09\00:32:09.96
had he appeared with the glory.
That was his before the father
00:32:09.96\00:32:14.56
had. He appeared with the
glory. That was his with the
00:32:14.56\00:32:17.73
father before the world wise.
00:32:17.73\00:32:20.94
We could not have endured
the light of his presence
00:32:20.94\00:32:26.07
that we might be hold it
00:32:26.07\00:32:28.71
and not be destroyed.
00:32:28.71\00:32:31.11
The manifestation of
his glory was shrouded.
00:32:31.11\00:32:36.38
The divinity was
veiled with humanity.
00:32:36.38\00:32:39.92
The invisible
glory in the visible.
00:32:39.92\00:32:44.79
>> Human farm praise his name.
00:32:44.79\00:32:49.16
In other words, we can look
at the face of got. So you've
00:32:49.16\00:32:52.43
built a temple,
00:32:52.43\00:32:54.10
any shrouds in London,
00:32:54.10\00:32:56.87
which is really
a type of Christ.
00:32:56.87\00:32:59.64
But he says, look, I'm
going to do more than that.
00:32:59.64\00:33:03.68
I want you to be able to look
at my face. And so I'm going to
00:33:03.68\00:33:07.52
bring heaven all the way
down. And I'm gonna take this
00:33:07.52\00:33:10.22
divinity that you can look at.
And I'm going to package it in
00:33:10.22\00:33:13.62
this ultimate accommodation.
00:33:13.62\00:33:16.69
Availing it in humanity.
00:33:16.69\00:33:20.43
As I have a judge says
00:33:23.06\00:33:25.73
that for ever Jesus
will retain the human h
00:33:25.73\00:33:31.31
he surprises name.
00:33:34.44\00:33:36.48
I mean, we think that human
00:33:39.71\00:33:42.32
being a human is not that bad.
00:33:42.32\00:33:45.12
The survey just says it would
have been infinite humiliation
00:33:50.23\00:33:54.10
for Jesus to take
on the nature of Adam
00:33:54.10\00:33:57.03
in his innocence in need.
00:33:57.03\00:33:59.47
It's like me
00:34:03.14\00:34:06.11
becoming a cockroach
00:34:06.11\00:34:08.44
with all due respect.
You know, I'm talking about
00:34:12.21\00:34:15.32
I mean, can you imagine like?
00:34:15.32\00:34:17.19
>> I mean, no way. I mean, I
don't I don't want to become my
00:34:17.19\00:34:21.56
dog.
00:34:21.56\00:34:24.49
I mean, humans, dogs,
cockroaches. All right.
00:34:24.49\00:34:29.20
I mean, that's like
00:34:29.20\00:34:30.90
no.
00:34:30.90\00:34:34.54
But to be a cockroach for ever.
00:34:34.54\00:34:40.44
One member of the godhead
throughout the ceases ages of
00:34:40.44\00:34:44.11
eternity for ever
00:34:44.11\00:34:46.38
identified with you and me
00:34:46.38\00:34:49.78
that's left.
00:34:49.78\00:34:51.59
>> And that's why and haven't
throughout the city says is if
00:34:51.59\00:34:53.52
you turn it every time we
look at the face of Jesus, we're
00:34:53.52\00:34:55.99
going to take our crowned
say praise God and we're going
00:34:55.99\00:34:59.16
about and we're going to
worship and say King of Kings
00:34:59.16\00:35:02.96
and Lord of Lords because
of your infinite humiliation,
00:35:02.96\00:35:07.17
not just for 33 and a
half years, but for AFT
00:35:07.17\00:35:11.57
bought. Dow has prepared for me.

Second
Corinthians, chapter 4 verse 6.
00:35:18.65\00:35:21.35
The light
00:35:21.35\00:35:22.62
of the knowledge of
the glory of God is found
00:35:22.62\00:35:28.19
in the face
00:35:28.19\00:35:29.92
of Jesus Christ.
00:35:29.92\00:35:32.46
Every time
00:35:32.46\00:35:33.86
you look at the face of Jesus,
00:35:33.86\00:35:36.97
you're looking
at the face of God
00:35:36.97\00:35:40.44
divinity.
00:35:40.44\00:35:41.80
They'll
00:35:41.80\00:35:43.61
open your bibles. Last
book of Revelation Chapter. 22
00:35:47.01\00:35:53.35
given a scene
00:35:53.35\00:35:56.99
of even restored
00:35:56.99\00:36:00.62
the last chapter last book
00:36:00.62\00:36:04.66
of the Bible,
00:36:04.66\00:36:06.56
The Tree of Life is There.
00:36:06.56\00:36:08.53
Tree of Life was in the
book of Revelation, Tree of Life
00:36:08.53\00:36:12.23
Restart.
00:36:12.23\00:36:14.04
But notice
00:36:14.04\00:36:15.37
what Soft
00:36:15.37\00:36:17.27
revelation chapter? 22
inverse won and he showed me
00:36:17.27\00:36:20.54
a pure river of water of life.
00:36:20.54\00:36:23.75
Clear as crystal
00:36:23.75\00:36:25.11
proceeding from the
throne of God and from the land
00:36:25.11\00:36:28.25
in the middle of it street
on either side of the river was
00:36:28.25\00:36:32.25
the Tree of Life which bore 12
fruits. Each tree yielding its
00:36:32.25\00:36:37.66
fruit every month. The
leaves of the tree where for the
00:36:37.66\00:36:41.56
healing
00:36:41.56\00:36:42.83
of the nations
00:36:42.83\00:36:45.27
and there shall be no more
kers. But the throne of God and
00:36:45.27\00:36:49.87
of the lamb shall be in it.
00:36:49.87\00:36:52.31
And his servants shall
serve him look at verse 4
00:36:52.31\00:36:56.31
and then a chassis is.
00:36:56.31\00:37:02.78
>> I believe that in context
is talking about not the face of
00:37:02.78\00:37:05.22
Jesus is talking
about the face of the fog.
00:37:05.22\00:37:09.16
This is a big deal.
00:37:09.16\00:37:11.53
This could happen before
00:37:11.53\00:37:13.26
this could even
happen with Moses.
00:37:13.26\00:37:15.73
This could only happen in
the Denicke perfection. Prior to
00:37:15.73\00:37:18.93
the fall, Adam and Eve were
able to look at the face of got
00:37:18.93\00:37:22.50
next to the Tree of Life
00:37:22.50\00:37:25.27
revelation. You see
even restored positive.
00:37:25.27\00:37:30.41
The tree of life is restart.
But most importantly, the
00:37:30.41\00:37:33.75
relational aspect of our
relationship with God, the
00:37:33.75\00:37:37.75
father is restart back to be
done because we can now look at
00:37:37.75\00:37:43.09
the face of cop,
00:37:43.09\00:37:45.49
a man
00:37:45.49\00:37:47.30
and not be consumed
00:37:50.63\00:37:53.23
and not run from his presence.
00:37:53.23\00:37:57.77
It answers it here
00:37:57.77\00:38:00.81
and they shall see his face
00:38:00.81\00:38:04.18
and his name
00:38:04.18\00:38:06.82
Shelby on there for it.
00:38:06.82\00:38:10.75
Those 2 are connected.
00:38:10.75\00:38:13.22
You want to be able
to see the face of got
00:38:13.22\00:38:16.19
prefrontal cortex.
00:38:18.59\00:38:21.13
The name is the character.
00:38:21.13\00:38:23.37
The Bible says
in Matthew Chapter 5
00:38:29.87\00:38:34.24
are the pure in heart
00:38:34.24\00:38:36.88
for they shall see God.
00:38:36.88\00:38:39.38
Some 24 asked the question
who show us and into the love,
00:38:39.38\00:38:42.55
the Lord who she'll stand
in his holy place. He that hath
00:38:42.55\00:38:46.59
clean hands. And
and if your heart
00:38:46.59\00:38:50.26
Evers chapter 12 verse 14 says
Without Holiness, no one will
00:38:50.26\00:38:55.80
see the Lord.
00:38:55.80\00:39:00.40
Holiness
00:39:00.40\00:39:02.04
is the condition
00:39:02.04\00:39:04.07
for being able to
see the face of God
00:39:04.07\00:39:07.88
about the special. What is the
criteria? What is the condition
00:39:07.88\00:39:11.08
for being able to have a
face-to-face encounter with got
00:39:11.08\00:39:15.25
the path
00:39:15.25\00:39:17.35
is holding us
00:39:17.35\00:39:21.96
now. If you're anything like me,
00:39:21.96\00:39:24.49
makes me feel anxious.
00:39:28.90\00:39:33.44
Now, there are
certain things certain events
00:39:33.44\00:39:36.64
I just can't pay for.
00:39:36.64\00:39:38.77
I can afford
00:39:38.77\00:39:41.18
box office seats,
courtside. I can afford it
00:39:41.18\00:39:45.45
being able to
see the face of Got
00:39:45.45\00:39:48.72
Holiness,
00:39:48.72\00:39:49.98
are you wholly and I'm like,
00:39:49.98\00:39:52.42
no,
00:39:52.42\00:39:54.72
I can't cup.
00:39:54.72\00:39:56.83
I mean, this is like
00:39:56.83\00:39:58.79
radical
00:39:58.79\00:40:00.86
just audacious
00:40:00.86\00:40:03.43
condition from a
human standpoint of you
00:40:03.43\00:40:06.94
be able to even
see the face of got,
00:40:06.94\00:40:10.34
how does this make you feel
00:40:10.34\00:40:13.17
inadequate
00:40:13.17\00:40:15.94
anxiety?
00:40:15.94\00:40:17.91
I mean, I almost need therapy
even thinking about this.
00:40:17.91\00:40:23.22
No way.
00:40:23.22\00:40:25.42
>> I will never be good
enough. Never measure up
00:40:25.42\00:40:30.03
to this qualification.
00:40:30.03\00:40:33.36
But there's good news.
00:40:33.36\00:40:38.17
You know, that there
was only one individual
00:40:38.17\00:40:41.80
that could enter
into the most holy place.
00:40:41.80\00:40:46.24
Is that a priest?
00:40:46.24\00:40:48.21
>> And the high priest had
00:40:48.21\00:40:51.31
on his forehead. A golden plate.
00:40:51.31\00:40:56.99
Exodus Chapter. 28 0st. 36
get a golden plate. And you know
00:40:56.99\00:41:00.19
what that golden plate said
on it. It said Holiness to the
00:41:00.19\00:41:04.93
Lord.
00:41:04.93\00:41:06.43
Interesting member, what's the
criteria for being able to go
00:41:06.43\00:41:08.90
into this kind of glory and
see the face of got holding it?
00:41:08.90\00:41:11.87
And yet the priest had on his
forehead of all places. I think
00:41:11.87\00:41:16.64
an inscription that
said Holiness to the Lord,
00:41:16.64\00:41:22.94
he was the only individual
00:41:22.94\00:41:24.95
that could go into
that inner sanctum.
00:41:24.95\00:41:28.35
But he had to wear that plate.
00:41:28.35\00:41:33.39
Who does the
high priest represent
00:41:33.39\00:41:36.52
jeez even after a
00:41:36.52\00:41:42.03
in other words,
00:41:42.03\00:41:46.20
the only way
00:41:46.20\00:41:49.47
that we have access
00:41:49.47\00:41:51.97
you have that
face-to-face encounter with God
00:41:51.97\00:41:55.04
is because Jesus
00:41:55.04\00:41:58.08
is are holding this
00:41:58.08\00:42:01.88
a man. So like, look,
you go, you want insurance
00:42:01.88\00:42:05.99
holding. This is the criteria
00:42:05.99\00:42:08.79
all you need to say is like,
look, I claim the holiness of
00:42:08.79\00:42:12.26
Jesus,
00:42:12.26\00:42:14.00
a man and they said come on
in and and praise the lord and
00:42:14.00\00:42:19.10
other weight is not Our
Holiness. Are you kidding me?
00:42:19.10\00:42:22.77
It's the holiness of Jesus.
And it's because of him as our
00:42:22.77\00:42:26.21
mediate are intercessor in
our representative and he wears
00:42:26.21\00:42:29.88
that play and you get in on his
righteousness, which is holding
00:42:29.88\00:42:35.38
this by the way
and you can't buy it.
00:42:35.38\00:42:39.12
It's by face
00:42:39.12\00:42:41.02
holding. This is
00:42:41.02\00:42:43.53
righteous us
00:42:43.53\00:42:46.03
Ezekiel Chapter 20 and verse 12
00:42:49.43\00:42:53.10
says and I gave them
00:42:53.10\00:42:55.54
my SATs
00:42:55.54\00:42:57.21
as a sign between us
00:42:57.21\00:42:59.54
so that they would know
00:42:59.54\00:43:01.41
that I the Lord made them Holy.
00:43:01.41\00:43:06.68
Now, let me
unpack this with you.
00:43:06.68\00:43:10.99
Made a holy
00:43:10.99\00:43:15.46
now he did it.
00:43:15.46\00:43:17.49
And every time
we keep the Sabbath
00:43:21.90\00:43:24.70
what you do on the Sabbath work
00:43:24.70\00:43:27.34
you rest
00:43:27.34\00:43:28.87
and it comes
around every 7 days.
00:43:28.87\00:43:32.11
What is the
chapter 20 verse 12 says
00:43:32.11\00:43:35.91
is like, look,
we need a reminder
00:43:35.91\00:43:39.71
every 7 days
00:43:39.71\00:43:41.78
because we tend to forget
if you have noticed, right,
00:43:41.78\00:43:46.22
we need reassurance because
the ticket to be able to see the
00:43:46.22\00:43:50.53
face of God, his holiness, but
every 7 days, which is tomorrow
00:43:50.53\00:43:54.83
for starting this evening,
we don't work. We're asked
00:43:54.83\00:44:00.24
in the assurance that even as
God made a holy he can make you
00:44:00.24\00:44:05.04
and me Hawley, a man.
00:44:05.04\00:44:07.44
And we're asked in
that assurance by faith
00:44:07.44\00:44:12.08
because we need
to be reminded man,
00:44:12.08\00:44:14.88
as we forget, we think we can
make ourselves holy. We think
00:44:14.88\00:44:18.45
we can do things to contribute
to our salvation and earn it
00:44:18.45\00:44:23.29
one way or the
other. But every 7 days,
00:44:23.29\00:44:26.73
it's a reminder
00:44:26.73\00:44:28.26
that, look,
00:44:28.26\00:44:29.43
I rest in the assurance because
even though I don't feel it,
00:44:29.43\00:44:33.07
even though I don't have
any ownership of it, even though
00:44:33.07\00:44:35.24
there's nothing meritorious in
me, I'm reminded that it is the
00:44:35.24\00:44:38.97
right distance of Christ and
his his power that can make me
00:44:38.97\00:44:43.48
holy even as though
he made a gay holy a man.
00:44:43.48\00:44:49.75
That's the
assurance it's that remind
00:44:49.75\00:44:52.89
so every 7 days
00:44:52.89\00:44:55.42
as the whole, the wave of
the Sabbath comes upon us,
00:44:55.42\00:44:59.86
we're mind
00:44:59.86\00:45:01.96
we rest
00:45:01.96\00:45:05.73
God created the Earth
00:45:05.73\00:45:07.87
and all
00:45:07.87\00:45:09.10
that is in it
00:45:09.10\00:45:11.97
in 6 literal
00:45:11.97\00:45:14.71
contiguous
consecutive days. By the way
00:45:14.71\00:45:18.88
of 24 hour periods.
00:45:18.88\00:45:20.98
They're exactly like
the ones that we experience
00:45:20.98\00:45:24.25
didn't take millions and
billions and trillions of
00:45:24.25\00:45:26.42
years.
00:45:26.42\00:45:30.33
It was 6 literal days.
00:45:30.33\00:45:33.60
I don't care what Darwin says.
00:45:33.60\00:45:37.77
Orr pH D's.
00:45:37.77\00:45:40.37
So he creates the earth
00:45:40.37\00:45:42.47
in 6 days
00:45:42.47\00:45:44.54
and on the 7th day,
00:45:44.54\00:45:47.11
he puts his whole
the signature on it.
00:45:47.11\00:45:50.51
Scott's Afis,
00:45:50.51\00:45:52.71
you know, when you when you
make a masterpiece, a painting
00:45:52.71\00:45:56.52
the site
00:45:56.52\00:45:58.22
at the end
00:45:58.22\00:46:01.16
doesn't put his signature
in a place. He puts it in time
00:46:01.16\00:46:07.03
and infuses it with holiness.
00:46:07.03\00:46:10.47
He takes you and me
00:46:10.47\00:46:12.77
messed up
00:46:12.77\00:46:14.60
and begins this process
00:46:18.84\00:46:20.98
in praise God. It didn't
take billions of years, a man,
00:46:20.98\00:46:24.98
but it is a process
00:46:24.98\00:46:27.28
of recreating in you
and I the image of God.
00:46:27.28\00:46:33.39
And he puts his signature on it
00:46:33.39\00:46:37.83
and he says they look like me
00:46:37.83\00:46:41.73
and it's symbolized
00:46:41.73\00:46:46.20
praise its name.
00:46:46.20\00:46:49.34
Now I praise got
00:46:49.34\00:46:51.57
for his mercy
00:46:54.04\00:46:57.55
that we don't have to
feel like we've arrived.
00:46:57.55\00:47:01.52
And that's why this process
00:47:01.52\00:47:04.19
is by faith.
00:47:04.19\00:47:08.52
In Second Corinthians,
chapter 3, verse 18,
00:47:08.52\00:47:11.96
a practical application
00:47:15.20\00:47:19.03
of ensuring that when
Jesus comes the second time,
00:47:19.03\00:47:23.61
we can be able to look
00:47:23.61\00:47:25.44
at the face of God
00:47:25.44\00:47:27.34
and not run from his presence.
00:47:27.34\00:47:30.05
Second Corinthians
chapter 3 verse 18,
00:47:30.05\00:47:32.51
but we all
00:47:32.51\00:47:34.22
with on veiled face.
00:47:34.22\00:47:38.22
Let me unpack that with
for you. If you read Second
00:47:38.22\00:47:40.89
Corinthians, the context
of this is the exact context.
00:47:40.89\00:47:45.33
We just talked about
an Exodus chapter. 33,
00:47:45.33\00:47:48.86
he's talking about Moses when
he came down from the mountain
00:47:48.86\00:47:52.23
and they had to Vail his face
because they couldn't look at
00:47:52.23\00:47:56.17
his glory.
00:47:56.17\00:47:57.71
That's why he says with
unveiled face, he had just seen
00:47:57.71\00:48:00.88
the the Chacon a glory of God
and you have to build his face.
00:48:00.88\00:48:04.68
And that was just from
looking at the back of got
00:48:04.68\00:48:08.08
not looking at the face of God.
00:48:08.08\00:48:11.65
Paul is expounding on this theme
00:48:11.65\00:48:15.29
and he uses this analogy to
describe this process of how we
00:48:15.29\00:48:20.83
become changed. And that's
why he says, but we all with on
00:48:20.83\00:48:25.87
they'll face behold, he has
in a mere the glory of the Lord
00:48:25.87\00:48:33.24
are being
transformed from glory to glory.
00:48:33.24\00:48:40.08
In other words,
00:48:40.08\00:48:42.22
you want to be ready for
the second coming of Jesus.
00:48:42.22\00:48:44.95
You want to be able to stand
before the face of God and not
00:48:44.95\00:48:47.69
be Paul, the
rise and not be just
00:48:47.69\00:48:50.69
running from his presence.
00:48:50.69\00:48:53.46
Behold his glory.
00:48:53.46\00:48:56.56
You can do that
00:48:59.43\00:49:01.04
by his grace
00:49:01.04\00:49:04.91
because its glory.
00:49:04.91\00:49:07.11
He's right here.
00:49:07.11\00:49:09.44
The word
00:49:09.44\00:49:11.08
was made flash
00:49:11.08\00:49:12.91
and dwelt among us.
00:49:12.91\00:49:15.18
And every day
00:49:15.18\00:49:16.92
I encourage
00:49:16.92\00:49:18.29
to open the word of God
00:49:18.29\00:49:21.69
to study
00:49:21.69\00:49:23.02
to reflect on his
presence because look
00:49:23.02\00:49:27.66
what Paul the same
00:49:27.66\00:49:29.76
is that even greater than
looking at the back of God on
00:49:29.76\00:49:33.20
Mount Sinai?
00:49:33.20\00:49:35.50
When you look at it,
00:49:35.50\00:49:37.27
Jesus through his word,
00:49:37.27\00:49:40.21
you're looking at the face.
00:49:40.21\00:49:42.74
You're looking at the face
of Jesus Christ and even as the
00:49:42.74\00:49:46.18
glory that was reflected in
Moses that people couldn't see.
00:49:46.18\00:49:50.82
When you look at this
00:49:50.82\00:49:52.65
when you meditate on it,
when you think about Jesus every
00:49:52.65\00:49:55.99
single day,
00:49:55.99\00:49:58.63
we'll be able to tell
00:49:58.63\00:50:00.43
that you have been with Jesus.
00:50:00.43\00:50:04.00
Do you want that by his grace?
00:50:04.00\00:50:06.30
You desire that you wanted to
be when people hang around you
00:50:06.30\00:50:09.40
there like all
00:50:09.40\00:50:10.74
they have been on the map.
00:50:10.74\00:50:14.01
They've been in the presence of
God. They have seen his glory,
00:50:14.01\00:50:21.75
selected messages, book 3
00:50:21.75\00:50:24.69
page one, 69
00:50:24.69\00:50:27.09
by the holding
00:50:27.09\00:50:28.59
and good but admire and
become more attracted to him.
00:50:28.59\00:50:34.10
More charmed and more desirous
to be like Jesus until he
00:50:34.10\00:50:40.34
assimilates to his image
and has the mind of Christ like
00:50:40.34\00:50:46.34
Enoch. He walks with God.
His mind is full of cheeses and
00:50:46.34\00:50:52.31
his glory. He is his best friend
00:50:52.31\00:50:59.35
last few minutes here on
to make this very practical.
00:50:59.35\00:51:03.63
White says that the way
that Enoch walked with God,
00:51:03.63\00:51:09.70
he was in his thoughts.
00:51:09.70\00:51:12.20
He thought about Jesus
00:51:12.20\00:51:15.94
all through his day
00:51:15.94\00:51:17.51
and before he
went to bed at night,
00:51:17.51\00:51:20.24
the individual and the entity
that we'd like to think about
00:51:20.24\00:51:24.61
the most
00:51:24.61\00:51:27.45
is where our hearts really are.
00:51:27.45\00:51:30.15
Do you have a favorite place in
your mind that you love to go?
00:51:30.15\00:51:36.02
You have this place
00:51:36.02\00:51:37.56
that you go
00:51:37.56\00:51:39.29
that you find
the greatest pleasure
00:51:39.29\00:51:44.03
if we were to flash on the
screen today. Our thoughts from
00:51:44.03\00:51:47.64
this past week, Lord
have mercy on our souls.
00:51:47.64\00:51:53.84
Now we can't control what
pops into our minds, but we can
00:51:53.84\00:51:56.95
control what we
choose to dwell upon.
00:51:56.95\00:52:00.78
We can dismiss
00:52:00.78\00:52:02.38
and replace with scripture.
00:52:02.38\00:52:05.82
And so this is a very
practical application.
00:52:05.82\00:52:09.32
Our sops the inner sanctum of
our minds. And sometimes we as
00:52:09.32\00:52:13.03
a community of faith can
fall into this trap of thinking
00:52:13.03\00:52:15.53
like, look, I'm not going to
do it, but I'm going to think
00:52:15.53\00:52:19.23
about
00:52:19.23\00:52:20.40
I'm going to toss it around in
our minds in my mind and think
00:52:20.40\00:52:23.77
about it and imagine it.
And it just in grisly just the
00:52:23.77\00:52:27.91
details fantasize about
it. Imagine it go through the
00:52:27.91\00:52:32.11
actions in my mind. And
the Bible says that if you lost
00:52:32.11\00:52:35.52
after a woman,
00:52:35.52\00:52:37.45
you guilty of adultery
00:52:37.45\00:52:39.95
going to Jesus, you've
already cross the line.
00:52:39.95\00:52:44.46
A brother
00:52:44.46\00:52:46.46
guilty of murder
00:52:46.46\00:52:48.33
by the grace of got
00:52:50.87\00:52:53.47
can develop
00:52:53.47\00:52:54.84
the have it
00:52:54.84\00:52:56.77
that when we're
standing at Walmart
00:52:56.77\00:52:59.74
and there's a line,
00:52:59.74\00:53:01.98
don't pull out your phone,
00:53:01.98\00:53:04.81
what's he looking at
the Bible to get real Bible?
00:53:04.81\00:53:08.55
You know, I believe that in the
end of time, people are getting
00:53:08.55\00:53:10.89
sealed through
their smartphones.
00:53:10.89\00:53:13.09
They should go around like this
00:53:13.09\00:53:15.82
because that's the
reality when they get up.
00:53:15.82\00:53:18.06
>> They look at their
smartphone when they're in
00:53:18.06\00:53:19.79
line. They look at the
smartphone before they go to
00:53:19.79\00:53:21.83
bed. They look at their smart
bomb. People are getting sealed
00:53:21.83\00:53:25.13
by the culture of the world
00:53:25.13\00:53:27.20
through these devices
and they are destroying us.
00:53:27.20\00:53:33.27
Absolutely. We're getting seal
00:53:33.27\00:53:36.54
by our smartphones,
00:53:36.54\00:53:39.88
which should be sealed
by the word of God. A man
00:53:39.88\00:53:43.85
out of the pocket
by by take with me.
00:53:43.85\00:53:46.76
Pull it out.
00:53:46.76\00:53:49.06
Don't reach for your smartphone.
00:53:49.06\00:53:51.83
We trust scripture.
00:53:51.83\00:53:53.86
Make that
00:53:53.86\00:53:54.96
your meditation. And by
the way, there is biblical
00:53:54.96\00:53:57.93
meditation,
00:53:57.93\00:53:59.57
eastern meditation emptying
your mind. Biblical meditation,
00:53:59.57\00:54:03.34
very simple. Filling
your mind with the word of God
00:54:03.34\00:54:07.74
about Jesus all
throughout your day
00:54:07.74\00:54:13.82
and you can use your
sanctified imagination.
00:54:13.82\00:54:18.39
Last passage as we wrap up
Deuteronomy chapter 6. It's
00:54:18.39\00:54:22.26
known as the show mom.
00:54:22.26\00:54:24.86
Every Hebrew
00:54:24.86\00:54:27.73
in the Old Testament would get
up in the morning and say the
00:54:27.73\00:54:31.10
Schema Jesus quotes it in
the New Testament. Deuteronomy
00:54:31.10\00:54:34.57
chapter 6 verse 4. Hear o
Israel. The Lord, our God.
00:54:34.57\00:54:38.41
The Lord is one.
00:54:38.41\00:54:40.61
And you shall love the Lord.
Your God. With all your heart
00:54:40.61\00:54:43.68
with all your soul.
And with all your strength,
00:54:43.68\00:54:49.28
what does it look like for
an individual that is absolutely
00:54:49.28\00:54:52.92
sold out? Forgot.
00:54:52.92\00:54:55.22
What does it look like in a
practical sense for a person
00:54:55.22\00:54:58.73
that is just immersed in
got and really loves. Got with
00:54:58.73\00:55:03.06
every fiber of his being.
00:55:03.06\00:55:06.77
I'm glad you asked
00:55:06.77\00:55:10.87
because Deuteronomy
answers. The question
00:55:10.87\00:55:13.84
a person that
loves got looks like this
00:55:13.84\00:55:16.98
for 6 and these words, which
I command you today, Shelby,
00:55:16.98\00:55:21.02
in your heart,
00:55:21.02\00:55:22.58
you should teach them
diligently to your children.
00:55:22.58\00:55:25.62
Just talk of them. When you
sit in your house when you walk,
00:55:25.62\00:55:29.06
by the way, when you lie
down and when you rise up.
00:55:29.06\00:55:32.36
>> And notice says you shall
bind them as a sign on your
00:55:32.36\00:55:36.00
hand and as front,
let's between your rights,
00:55:36.00\00:55:40.00
sounds like a ceiling to
me. You shall write them on the
00:55:40.00\00:55:43.24
door-post of your
house and on your gates
00:55:43.24\00:55:46.57
practically speaking, how do
you know you love God with all
00:55:46.57\00:55:48.84
your heart with all your song
with all your mind when you get
00:55:48.84\00:55:51.38
up in the morning,
you think about Jesus
00:55:51.38\00:55:54.28
when you're at the breakfast
table, your favorite place to
00:55:54.28\00:55:56.45
go is jeez it's as you go
through your day and you talk
00:55:56.45\00:55:59.49
to your kids. It's all about
Jesus as you're on the subway.
00:55:59.49\00:56:02.59
Just thinking about Jesus it
in line at Walmart. You're not
00:56:02.59\00:56:06.03
pulling out your phone. You're
thinking about Jesus and before
00:56:06.03\00:56:08.43
you go to bed at
night, it's all about Jesus.
00:56:08.43\00:56:14.34
That's the person
that sold out for Jesus.
00:56:14.34\00:56:17.81
That's the person
00:56:17.81\00:56:19.47
that's being C
00:56:19.47\00:56:23.61
from glory to glory,
00:56:23.61\00:56:26.75
from Fay to faith
and from day to day.
00:56:26.75\00:56:31.45
>> And when Jesus comes
in, the clouds of glory,
00:56:31.45\00:56:35.59
we're not running.
00:56:35.59\00:56:39.36
We're saying like
the people in Isaiah,
00:56:39.36\00:56:42.63
this is our guy.
00:56:42.63\00:56:44.57
We have waited for him
00:56:44.57\00:56:46.33
and he will save us. And
when Jesus comes, the Bible says
00:56:46.33\00:56:51.84
that we will be like him,
00:56:51.84\00:56:57.38
but we will see him
00:56:57.38\00:56:59.15
as he is highly yeah praises
name and Jesus will come down
00:56:59.15\00:57:04.45
and say they look just like
00:57:04.45\00:57:09.32
I mean, you want to be like
that. A man by his grace and
00:57:13.93\00:57:17.50
say, Lord, when you come up,
00:57:17.50\00:57:19.53
I want to look like you.
00:57:19.53\00:57:21.27
Let's pray. Father in heaven.
We thank you for your grace for
00:57:21.27\00:57:23.54
your love.
00:57:23.54\00:57:25.97
Write your lawn. Our hearts.
00:57:25.97\00:57:28.01
We claim the holiness of Jesus
so that we can have access to
00:57:28.01\00:57:31.48
the throne room of your grace
work in us both to will and to
00:57:31.48\00:57:36.38
do
00:57:36.38\00:57:37.59
of your good pleasure. We asked
the sings in the precious name
00:57:37.59\00:57:42.06
of Jesus Christ,
