That was rich...
rich, rich, rich...
00:00:31.43\00:00:34.30
rich in faith and hope and
love, I got more than my share,
00:00:34.33\00:00:38.13
that's how I feel right
now, I just feel filled up...
00:00:38.17\00:00:40.30
filled up... we looked
at Revelation chapter 5
00:00:40.34\00:00:43.87
and we didn't get
all the way through
00:00:43.91\00:00:46.01
but I think it will be
good for us to kind of summarize
00:00:46.04\00:00:48.61
what we do have... as
we go in and finish it up
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.81
because there's so much there...
it is worth going over again
00:00:50.85\00:00:54.35
and just saying,
"Okay, where did...
00:00:54.38\00:00:55.72
what have we got,
what have we got...
00:00:55.75\00:00:57.09
I don't know... maybe we
should, maybe we should...
00:00:57.12\00:00:58.82
Yvonne: Oh no... pop quiz...
00:00:58.85\00:01:00.99
James: Boom...
fill in the details...
00:01:01.02\00:01:04.23
see where our
Viewers are, you know,
00:01:04.26\00:01:07.40
well, let's pray at least first,
shall we? All right, Ivor...
00:01:07.43\00:01:09.96
Ivor: "Heavenly
Father, we want to ask you
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.03
that you bless us
as we open your Word,
00:01:12.07\00:01:14.07
Father, we thank you for the
00:01:14.10\00:01:16.07
bread of life
that you give to us,
00:01:16.10\00:01:18.54
that you feed us
Lord, you ask us to pray,
00:01:18.57\00:01:20.98
'give us our daily bread' and so
we're praying that today Lord,
00:01:21.01\00:01:23.81
give us this
day our daily bread,
00:01:23.85\00:01:26.15
fill us with your
love, with your grace
00:01:26.18\00:01:29.88
and we just pray this
in Christ's name, amen. "
00:01:29.92\00:01:32.22
All: "Amen... "
00:01:32.25\00:01:33.72
James: So, we got a
problem and we got a solution,
00:01:33.76\00:01:36.19
we got a response to the
solution, what's the problem?
00:01:36.22\00:01:38.63
What's the problem
in Revelation chapter 5?
00:01:38.69\00:01:41.20
Jason: No man
could open the seal.
00:01:41.23\00:01:44.10
James: Hmmm... hmmm... so what?
00:01:44.17\00:01:46.53
What is that... what's
the seal, what do you mean,
00:01:46.57\00:01:48.70
"No man can open the
seal?" What does that mean?
00:01:48.74\00:01:50.84
What is that... what is that...
what is it talking about?
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.38
Jason: Foretelling
the future of humanity.
00:01:53.41\00:01:55.84
James: Yes, our
future is sealed up,
00:01:55.88\00:01:57.88
our fate is sealed up
and no one can alter it,
00:01:57.91\00:02:00.18
no one in
heaven, no one in earth,
00:02:00.22\00:02:01.55
no one under the earth,
we looked at Enoch, I mean,
00:02:01.58\00:02:03.18
he had a close walk
with God, he's in heaven,
00:02:03.22\00:02:04.99
he was so close with God
00:02:05.05\00:02:07.06
that God said, "Hey,
come on home with me"
00:02:07.09\00:02:09.02
he cannot alter
our destiny with death,
00:02:09.06\00:02:11.89
this scroll is the
history of Planet Earth,
00:02:11.93\00:02:14.66
it's written inside and outside,
00:02:14.70\00:02:16.20
there's nothing
missing and it's sealed up
00:02:16.23\00:02:18.03
and it's in the
hands of the Lord because
00:02:18.07\00:02:19.83
"the earth is the Lord's
and the fullness thereof... "
00:02:19.87\00:02:22.64
but Satan is contending for it,
00:02:22.67\00:02:24.34
he's contending for us
and this planet, he wants it,
00:02:24.37\00:02:26.84
and so there has to be an answer
00:02:26.88\00:02:29.18
but John doesn't see an
answer and how do we relate...
00:02:29.21\00:02:32.15
what was the Old
Testament story related to that?
00:02:32.18\00:02:34.22
Ivor: So we connected
it to the story of Ruth
00:02:34.25\00:02:36.22
because we see it at a
term, "the Root of David... "
00:02:36.25\00:02:39.35
which we saw... points us back
00:02:39.39\00:02:42.26
to that story of Ruth
in which Ruth and Naomi...
00:02:42.32\00:02:47.10
don't have a future
because their spouses have died
00:02:47.13\00:02:51.90
and so, they have
no hope of a lineage,
00:02:51.93\00:02:57.31
that's the problem in that story
00:02:57.37\00:02:59.07
and we saw that there
was a beautiful parallel
00:02:59.14\00:03:02.38
between the story of Ruth
00:03:02.41\00:03:04.48
and Boaz... who steps
up to be the redeemer,
00:03:04.51\00:03:08.28
he's the nearest of kin,
00:03:08.32\00:03:09.65
that word
literally means redeemer,
00:03:09.68\00:03:11.05
so the problem... just
going with the problem...
00:03:11.09\00:03:14.72
is... they have no
future, they have no future,
00:03:14.79\00:03:18.39
no lineage, no
offspring, that's the problem
00:03:18.46\00:03:21.76
which is the same
problem of humanity
00:03:21.80\00:03:23.80
in Revelation
chapter 5, there's no future,
00:03:23.83\00:03:26.53
our future is sealed,
00:03:26.57\00:03:27.90
doomed... death...
destruction, that's the problem.
00:03:27.94\00:03:30.84
James: And then we
went into the solution
00:03:30.91\00:03:32.77
and the solution is... the Lamb,
the Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
00:03:32.81\00:03:36.58
the Root of David,
00:03:36.61\00:03:38.01
He has prevailed
where we have failed,
00:03:38.05\00:03:41.02
He has done for us what
we couldn't do for ourselves
00:03:41.05\00:03:44.05
and it's really powerful
because one of the elders...
00:03:44.09\00:03:47.06
and we identified
the elders in Chapter 4
00:03:47.09\00:03:49.12
as one of those
who's been redeemed,
00:03:49.16\00:03:50.79
one of those who
is raised with Christ,
00:03:50.83\00:03:52.39
one of the elders comes to John
and taps him on the shoulder
00:03:52.43\00:03:55.30
and says, "Hey,
John, weep not... "
00:03:55.36\00:03:57.63
answer... solution... "behold
the Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
00:03:57.67\00:04:01.14
behold the Lion of
the Tribe of Judah...
00:04:01.17\00:04:03.07
you're not called to prevail,
you're not called to overcome,
00:04:03.10\00:04:06.41
you're called to
connect with Christ,
00:04:06.44\00:04:08.21
He's the One who has prevailed
and as you connect with Him,
00:04:08.24\00:04:10.85
you will overcome...
00:04:10.88\00:04:12.21
as you connect with
Him, you will prevail,
00:04:12.25\00:04:13.72
because He's the
prevailer, He's the overcomer. "
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.12
Ivor: We parallel that
again back to the story of Ruth
00:04:16.15\00:04:19.79
and Boaz is the
answer to Ruth's problem,
00:04:19.82\00:04:23.73
right, Boaz comes... he
calls... remember in the story
00:04:23.76\00:04:27.26
he brings the elders
together in the gate...
00:04:27.30\00:04:30.30
where is Jesus gone?
00:04:30.33\00:04:32.13
He's gone into
the gates of heaven,
00:04:32.17\00:04:34.10
He gathers the
elders and then...
00:04:34.14\00:04:36.00
He's making this
purchase not only of Ruth
00:04:36.04\00:04:38.74
but of the land that was
part of the whole package,
00:04:38.77\00:04:43.91
if you will, and so...
here you have Christ saying,
00:04:43.95\00:04:47.22
I'm going to redeem the woman,
by-the-way... that woman...
00:04:47.25\00:04:50.32
is a Gentile woman
with a Hebrew mother-in-law,
00:04:50.35\00:04:52.89
this New Testament Church...
00:04:52.92\00:04:54.92
but her mother-in-law...
Hebrew... Old Testament church.
00:04:54.96\00:05:00.13
James: She was a Gentile...
00:05:00.16\00:05:02.30
Ivor: Exactly,
and what does she say?
00:05:02.36\00:05:03.87
"Your God will be
my God... " right,
00:05:03.90\00:05:05.77
this is exactly what the
people in these churches,
00:05:05.80\00:05:07.90
"You're people
will be my people... "
00:05:07.94\00:05:09.27
so, and it's interesting because
00:05:09.30\00:05:12.84
Ruth's job is to
work in the field,
00:05:12.87\00:05:16.38
to bring in the
sheaves, that's what she's doing
00:05:16.41\00:05:20.65
and that's what
attracts Boaz's eye there,
00:05:20.68\00:05:23.05
"Who is this woman who
is working in the field?"
00:05:23.08\00:05:25.49
Right, and so,
in a greater sense,
00:05:25.52\00:05:28.12
that "working in the field"
is bringing in the sheaves
00:05:28.16\00:05:31.03
and that's... that's
what Christ wants to happen
00:05:31.06\00:05:33.63
within His church,
He wants her to multiply
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.76
multiply seed...
offspring... and so,
00:05:35.80\00:05:38.20
it is because of
Christ's redemption...
00:05:38.23\00:05:40.54
Christ saying... "I'm going
to take this woman as my own,
00:05:40.57\00:05:42.80
and if you take the woman,
you got to take the land too. "
00:05:42.84\00:05:45.04
"Yes, I'm going to
take the land too... "
00:05:45.07\00:05:46.64
He's redeeming...
00:05:46.68\00:05:48.28
and that's why the
chapter uses that verse...
00:05:48.31\00:05:51.38
"they're excited
because He has redeemed us... "
00:05:51.41\00:05:54.48
our Boaz has stepped in...
00:05:54.52\00:05:56.55
so it's like
Christ saying, "Look... "
00:05:56.58\00:05:59.09
we were talking
about this earlier,
00:05:59.12\00:06:01.56
that He set up that
story of Ruth and Boaz,
00:06:01.59\00:06:04.49
because if that did not happen,
Jesse would not have come,
00:06:04.53\00:06:08.40
David would not have come,
00:06:08.43\00:06:09.80
and the Messiah would not
have come, technically speaking,
00:06:09.83\00:06:12.53
so He's... He's saying,
00:06:12.60\00:06:13.94
"Look, just as there
would be no hope for the Messiah
00:06:13.97\00:06:17.11
if that
redemption did not happen,
00:06:17.14\00:06:19.41
so I stand before you
now, as the Root of David,
00:06:19.44\00:06:22.74
remember, remember,
so I'm showing you now
00:06:22.78\00:06:26.35
that had I not stepped in,
mankind would have no future. "
00:06:26.38\00:06:30.69
James: And it's
inclusive, God is inclusive...
00:06:30.72\00:06:33.36
so, we don't just
go to the New Testament
00:06:33.39\00:06:35.86
and try to argue that...
"Yeah, after the... the...
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.66
the crucifixion of Christ and
the gospel went to the Gentiles,
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.70
and they were included... "
00:06:41.73\00:06:43.06
the Gentiles
were already included,
00:06:43.10\00:06:44.43
they were always included,
00:06:44.47\00:06:45.80
the story of Ruth as
well as others proves that,
00:06:45.83\00:06:48.37
because it shows us the
lineage of Christ, Messiah,
00:06:48.40\00:06:51.24
Redeemer Himself as
connected to the lineage
00:06:51.27\00:06:54.74
that is bringing us back to the
Gentiles as well as the Jews.
00:06:54.78\00:06:57.31
Ivor: Absolutely...
00:06:57.35\00:06:58.68
James: So we have it
right there in the history,
00:06:58.71\00:07:00.05
we have it right there in
the lineage of Christ Himself
00:07:00.08\00:07:01.92
and it's a beautiful
picture if you think about it.
00:07:01.98\00:07:03.95
Ivor: It's a love story...
00:07:03.99\00:07:05.32
James: It's a love story...
00:07:05.35\00:07:06.69
and that's what
I like about this
00:07:06.72\00:07:08.06
because the Book of Revelation
is going from one love story
00:07:08.09\00:07:10.76
to tell us the
ultimate love story...
00:07:10.79\00:07:13.19
Ivor: The verse we talked about,
we used 1st Peter chapter 1,
00:07:13.23\00:07:17.07
tells us that we're
born again by the Word of God
00:07:17.10\00:07:20.90
right, and we see
there the first seal,
00:07:20.94\00:07:24.14
is a rider on a white horse
00:07:24.17\00:07:25.74
which Revelation 19
identifies His name...
00:07:25.77\00:07:28.84
the name of the rider on
that horse is "the Word of God,"
00:07:28.88\00:07:32.65
and so James one...
00:07:32.68\00:07:34.52
James: Yeah, it's
twelve tribes scattered abroad,
00:07:34.58\00:07:36.35
Ivor: The twelve
tribes scattered abroad...
00:07:36.38\00:07:37.82
James: That's who
James is writing to...
00:07:37.85\00:07:39.25
Ivor: Right, and he says,
of... what does the verse say?
00:07:39.29\00:07:42.06
James: "of his own will begat
he us with the word of truth,
00:07:42.09\00:07:45.19
that we should be a kind of
firstfruits of his creatures. "
00:07:45.26\00:07:48.33
Ivor: So, we're
"begotten... by the word"
00:07:48.36\00:07:50.97
that's what Christ was saying
in Revelation 5 demonstrating,
00:07:51.00\00:07:54.44
"Listen, I'm going to
take this woman to myself
00:07:54.47\00:07:56.91
and raise up the
name of the dead... "
00:07:56.94\00:07:59.24
James: Yes...
00:07:59.27\00:08:00.61
Ivor: that's what was
happening in the story of Boaz
00:08:00.64\00:08:02.14
and it literally says,
00:08:02.18\00:08:03.51
"Boaz came to her to raise
up the name of the dead... "
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.82
so Jesus says, "Okay,
we're going to produce now... "
00:08:06.85\00:08:09.75
how does He
produce? By His Word...
00:08:09.78\00:08:11.79
born again, born again,
00:08:11.82\00:08:13.49
a great
multitude is being formed
00:08:13.52\00:08:15.66
that are... the Bible
tells us "redeemed... "
00:08:15.69\00:08:18.56
these are they
which were redeemed,
00:08:18.59\00:08:20.30
there's that word
again, there's a kin...
00:08:20.33\00:08:22.20
redeemed from the earth,
so it's a beautiful picture
00:08:22.23\00:08:25.40
that Christ is showing
us in Revelation chapter 5
00:08:25.43\00:08:28.80
which, again, sets the
stage for our understanding
00:08:28.87\00:08:32.17
of what the seven
seals are all about.
00:08:32.21\00:08:34.01
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:08:34.04\00:08:35.78
James: And the 144,000...
of Revelation 7 are called
00:08:35.81\00:08:37.88
the first fruits
in Revelation 14...
00:08:37.91\00:08:39.25
they're the first fruits.
00:08:39.28\00:08:40.62
Ivor: Absolutely, so now you
begin to see why these words...
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.08
they're not
just thrown in there,
00:08:43.12\00:08:44.45
why is it calling
them "the first fruits?"
00:08:44.49\00:08:46.45
Why does it say
in Revelation 14,
00:08:46.49\00:08:48.36
"These are they
which were redeemed... "
00:08:48.39\00:08:49.76
because Revelation 5 is
trying to prep our minds,
00:08:49.79\00:08:55.30
"go back to the story of Ruth...
00:08:55.33\00:08:57.90
see what's happening there
so that you can understand... "
00:08:57.93\00:09:01.30
look, if there was no Ruth...
00:09:01.34\00:09:03.10
we kind of talked about
this a little bit earlier...
00:09:03.14\00:09:05.51
jumping a little
bit into the seals but
00:09:05.57\00:09:07.98
the second seal is
a rider on a red horse
00:09:08.01\00:09:10.35
which represents
death, without Christ, right?
00:09:10.41\00:09:16.02
James: That's our destiny...
Ivor: That's our destiny...
00:09:16.05\00:09:17.52
James: There's no white horse...
00:09:17.55\00:09:18.92
Ivor: There's not white horse...
00:09:18.95\00:09:20.29
James: There's a red
horse, there's a black horse...
00:09:20.32\00:09:23.09
there's a pale horse,
but there's no white horse.
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.59
Ivor: But because
of what Christ does...
00:09:25.66\00:09:27.46
when the seals are opened
up, you see a white horse first.
00:09:27.50\00:09:30.90
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.10
James: So,
history just got altered.
00:09:33.13\00:09:34.57
Ivor: "I jumped in
between you and death"
00:09:34.60\00:09:36.60
James: Yes, yes,
history has been altered.
00:09:36.64\00:09:39.11
James: So now, no
man can alter history
00:09:39.14\00:09:41.54
but Christ is able to
take and alter history,
00:09:41.58\00:09:43.38
He has altered history, so
now when He opens the seals,
00:09:43.41\00:09:45.65
we see a different history
and we see a different destiny,
00:09:45.71\00:09:47.92
we see... we see...
what could have been
00:09:47.95\00:09:49.48
and what will be for some...
00:09:49.52\00:09:50.85
but we see something
different taking place.
00:09:50.89\00:09:52.62
Ivor: He's our
Prince on the white horse.
00:09:52.65\00:09:54.56
James: Yes... we have a whole...
00:09:54.62\00:09:56.19
He has re-written the history
of the human race in Himself,
00:09:56.22\00:09:58.33
He's the second Adam...
00:09:58.36\00:09:59.69
He's the second
head of the human race,
00:09:59.73\00:10:01.46
and in Him... we
have a different destiny,
00:10:01.53\00:10:03.37
in Him, every human
being has a different destiny.
00:10:03.43\00:10:05.77
When we talk to...
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.37
to Sister So-and-so...
and Brother So-and-so...
00:10:07.40\00:10:09.24
because every
person at the gas station,
00:10:09.27\00:10:10.64
every person at
the grocery store,
00:10:10.67\00:10:12.01
every person that we
meet is a brother or a sister,
00:10:12.04\00:10:14.01
we talk to them and say,
"You have a destiny in Christ,
00:10:14.08\00:10:16.08
Christ has
re-written your history
00:10:16.11\00:10:18.45
your history is
bleak according to...
00:10:18.48\00:10:20.55
the scroll of this world...
00:10:20.58\00:10:22.65
but your history is rich
00:10:22.68\00:10:24.22
according to the
destiny of Jesus Christ. "
00:10:24.25\00:10:26.19
James: And that is
why we have response now,
00:10:26.22\00:10:31.19
okay, now we're
going to do response,
00:10:31.23\00:10:32.63
that is why we see
the response that we see,
00:10:32.66\00:10:34.66
the response that
we see first comes,
00:10:34.70\00:10:36.77
let's just look at it
again in Revelation chapter 5,
00:10:36.83\00:10:39.83
Ivor: You just said that
Christ is the second Adam
00:10:39.90\00:10:43.30
and that's just such a
beautiful picture because
00:10:43.34\00:10:46.44
He's the second Adam
that marries the church
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.44
and the first Adam was death,
00:10:49.48\00:10:52.45
the first Adam... you know...
00:10:52.48\00:10:55.48
we're under that
sentence of death,
00:10:55.52\00:10:57.42
almost like Boaz
coming in to replace that...
00:10:57.45\00:11:00.49
that fallen husband...
Christ comes in and says,
00:11:00.56\00:11:03.56
"Listen, I'm the second Adam...
00:11:03.59\00:11:05.19
just as the first
Adam was put to death
00:11:05.23\00:11:08.00
and the bride
came from his side,
00:11:08.03\00:11:10.13
so I have stepped in
now, I die on the cross
00:11:10.17\00:11:12.80
and from my open side...
comes forth... a new Eve... "
00:11:12.83\00:11:17.51
James: Wow! the
water and the blood...
00:11:17.54\00:11:18.87
Ivor: The water and the blood,
so, it's... it's... it's...
00:11:18.91\00:11:21.04
again this is a love story
00:11:21.08\00:11:22.91
from like so many
different angles He's saying,
00:11:22.94\00:11:26.21
"Look, I'm coming in because
your first husband led to death,
00:11:26.25\00:11:28.52
first husband...
there was no hope...
00:11:28.55\00:11:30.49
but in me... you have a future.
00:11:30.55\00:11:33.12
James: Hmmm... hmmmm...
yeah, that wound in the side...
00:11:33.15\00:11:35.69
at Calvary... that brought
forth water and the blood...
00:11:35.72\00:11:38.19
the heart of Christ was broken
00:11:38.23\00:11:40.00
and that broken heart
brings forth a new Bride,
00:11:40.06\00:11:42.96
we are created out
of that broken heart,
00:11:43.00\00:11:44.80
we're created out of
that water and that blood,
00:11:44.83\00:11:46.57
we're cleansed
and we're empowered,
00:11:46.60\00:11:48.84
we're forgiven...
it's a beautiful picture...
00:11:48.87\00:11:51.01
the story goes
on... so the response...
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.71
the response... oh! in verse...
00:11:53.74\00:11:57.61
chapter 5 in verse 7,
00:11:57.65\00:12:00.48
now, I just want to
touch on verse 6 again
00:12:00.52\00:12:03.42
because it talks
about how "he beheld and lo,
00:12:03.45\00:12:06.25
in the midst of the
throne and of the four beasts,
00:12:06.32\00:12:07.76
and in the midst of the elders,
00:12:07.79\00:12:09.12
stood a Lamb as it had
been slain... " Calvary...
00:12:09.16\00:12:10.83
"having seven
horns and seven eyes... "
00:12:10.89\00:12:13.36
and when we look at that
seven... we're talking about
00:12:13.40\00:12:16.00
all inclusive...
complete or perfect...
00:12:16.03\00:12:19.33
horns represent power,
00:12:19.40\00:12:21.40
eyes represent
God's ability to see,
00:12:21.44\00:12:23.91
He's all
powerful, He's omnipotent...
00:12:23.94\00:12:26.27
and He's all
seeing, He's omniscient...
00:12:26.31\00:12:28.58
He's all powerful and all
seeing okay, so this power...
00:12:28.61\00:12:32.35
all power... all-seeing God...
00:12:32.38\00:12:34.02
is now going to send this
power out into all the earth,
00:12:34.05\00:12:36.99
the Holy Spirit is the
third person of the Godhead
00:12:37.02\00:12:39.02
that's going to
come to represent God
00:12:39.05\00:12:41.16
and fill His disciples
on earth... Planet Earth.
00:12:41.19\00:12:44.03
Yvonne: What is "seven horns?"
00:12:44.06\00:12:45.56
James: Seven horns represent
God's power... God's power...
00:12:45.59\00:12:49.56
the eyes represent His
seeing, His omniscience...
00:12:49.60\00:12:52.43
the horns represent
His power, horn is power,
00:12:52.47\00:12:55.04
so seven is just
complete or perfect,
00:12:55.07\00:12:57.01
God is complete
in perfect power...
00:12:57.04\00:12:58.87
and He's complete in
perfect omniscience...
00:12:58.91\00:13:00.71
and He's sending all that power
through His Holy Spirit to us...
00:13:00.78\00:13:03.91
on Planet Earth, then
there's this response,
00:13:03.95\00:13:06.61
we are a little bit
overwhelmed but can you imagine
00:13:06.68\00:13:11.45
the elders that are there
00:13:11.49\00:13:12.82
and the living
creatures that are there,
00:13:12.85\00:13:14.19
you got to put yourself
in their place in a sense
00:13:14.22\00:13:15.72
because the living creatures,
00:13:15.76\00:13:18.09
the representatives of
all the unfallen universe,
00:13:18.13\00:13:20.80
the angels, the
living beings that are there
00:13:20.86\00:13:23.43
are just... they've
been sitting through this
00:13:23.47\00:13:25.97
for thousands of years,
they're watching... watching...
00:13:26.00\00:13:28.04
and finally, it's
come... finally it's come...
00:13:28.07\00:13:31.04
victory has come...
and they are just...
00:13:31.07\00:13:33.98
notice the response...
"And he came and took the book,"
00:13:34.01\00:13:36.88
verse 7, "out of the right hand
of him that sat upon the throne"
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.51
Jesus is not taking the book,
00:13:39.55\00:13:42.05
the Lamb is not
taking the book from God,
00:13:42.08\00:13:43.69
because God and the Lamb are one
00:13:43.72\00:13:45.85
but He's taking
possession of Planet Earth
00:13:45.92\00:13:48.22
because God has been allowing
Satan's accusation to continue
00:13:48.26\00:13:52.13
and there it sits
in His hand untouched
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.06
but there's still
controversy over it...
00:13:54.10\00:13:55.93
"No, no more controversy now,
we have been given to the Lamb
00:13:55.96\00:13:59.27
we are the
possession of Jesus Christ. "
00:13:59.30\00:14:01.84
Yvonne: So when He took the book
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.71
from the hand of Him
that sits on the throne,
00:14:04.74\00:14:07.01
He... it wasn't that
He was snatching the book,
00:14:07.04\00:14:10.25
He was accepting his
assignment is that it?
00:14:10.28\00:14:12.25
James: Yes, He was
accepting the reward...
00:14:12.28\00:14:14.18
He was accepting the
fact that He has redeemed us,
00:14:14.22\00:14:17.19
"It's yours... here you go... "
00:14:17.22\00:14:19.29
it's kind of like when you
go and you pay off your car,
00:14:19.35\00:14:22.92
you pay off your
house and you go to the Bank
00:14:22.96\00:14:24.99
and they give
you the title deed,
00:14:25.03\00:14:26.36
are they doing you a favor?
00:14:26.39\00:14:27.76
Are you ripping
it out of their hand?
00:14:27.83\00:14:29.76
No, they're
giving you what is yours.
00:14:29.80\00:14:31.67
Yvonne: Right... I got it...
00:14:31.70\00:14:33.23
James: So God is
giving Christ what is His...
00:14:33.27\00:14:35.74
and that that is His... is us...
00:14:35.77\00:14:37.91
it's not just a piece
of paper, no, this is us,
00:14:37.94\00:14:41.71
this is the whole
planet, "What? know ye not
00:14:41.74\00:14:45.51
that you are
bought with a price. "
00:14:45.55\00:14:47.78
Ivor: Yes, that's right.
00:14:47.82\00:14:49.15
James: "You've been redeemed
by the blood of the Lamb,
00:14:49.18\00:14:50.75
you are not your own,
yes, you're not your own. "
00:14:50.79\00:14:54.09
Ivor: That's
exactly what Boaz does,
00:14:54.12\00:14:55.46
it actually says,
"He purchases Ruth... "
00:14:55.49\00:14:58.46
that's what Christ did for us,
He purchased us with His blood,
00:14:58.49\00:15:02.53
I want you to think about
that... that excitement...
00:15:02.56\00:15:05.10
think about how
bleak it must have looked
00:15:05.13\00:15:07.74
for Naomi and for Ruth and
then think about the joy that...
00:15:07.77\00:15:13.61
it says the women named this...
00:15:13.64\00:15:16.01
so there was
happiness in the Community,
00:15:16.04\00:15:17.61
"oh... " you know, women
like go... "Oh... oh... "
00:15:17.65\00:15:21.08
well, this is the whole
universe, sometimes like,
00:15:21.12\00:15:24.35
I don't know like...
women are different than men,
00:15:24.42\00:15:27.66
and women love to know, I think,
00:15:27.69\00:15:31.89
what's going on in
other people's lives
00:15:31.93\00:15:34.43
and they really, really,
really get excited about it,
00:15:34.46\00:15:36.56
the genuinely
get... "Oh... " you know...
00:15:36.60\00:15:38.57
and they get
excited... and I'll be like...
00:15:38.60\00:15:39.93
"Oh great... " but they are...
00:15:39.97\00:15:42.30
"Oh... Susie got
married... oh... "
00:15:42.34\00:15:43.74
and everyone's
excited and I'm like,
00:15:43.77\00:15:46.17
"Okay, yeah, Susie
got married, great...
00:15:46.21\00:15:48.58
what about the Bible... "
00:15:48.64\00:15:49.98
and it's almost like
the universe is watching
00:15:50.01\00:15:56.32
the days of our lives...
and they're genuinely like...
00:15:56.38\00:16:01.59
"Huh... because of Christ...
look, humanity now has a future,
00:16:01.62\00:16:07.96
and there is genuine excitement,
00:16:08.00\00:16:11.10
you see what I'm
saying... in heaven?
00:16:11.13\00:16:12.93
They're not excited
for like... themselves...
00:16:12.97\00:16:15.87
they're excited because of
us, you know what I'm saying,
00:16:15.90\00:16:19.64
that look... that lost
sheep out of the one hundred
00:16:19.67\00:16:22.68
that now has a future
again that is not returned
00:16:22.71\00:16:25.71
because of what
Christ has done for them.
00:16:25.75\00:16:28.38
James: I love
that, that's beautiful,
00:16:28.45\00:16:31.02
so... so... " he came and took
the book out of the right hand
00:16:31.05\00:16:34.09
of him that sat on the throne.
00:16:34.16\00:16:35.49
And when he had taken
the book," here it comes...
00:16:35.52\00:16:37.36
"the four beasts and
the four and twenty elders
00:16:37.39\00:16:39.49
fell down before the Lamb,
00:16:39.53\00:16:43.10
having every one of them harps,
and golden vials full of odors,
00:16:43.13\00:16:47.44
which are the
prayers of the saints.
00:16:47.50\00:16:48.97
And they sung... " verse
9... "a new song, saying,
00:16:49.00\00:16:51.31
Thou art worthy
to take the book,
00:16:51.34\00:16:53.27
and to open the seals
thereof: for thou wast slain,
00:16:53.31\00:16:55.98
and has redeemed
us to God by thy blood
00:16:56.01\00:17:00.22
out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people,
00:17:00.25\00:17:03.59
and nation;"
it's not done there...
00:17:03.62\00:17:05.02
"And hast made us unto our God
00:17:05.05\00:17:06.96
kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth. "
00:17:06.99\00:17:11.46
Now, this is incredible,
when you look at this picture
00:17:11.49\00:17:15.86
because we're not only redeemed,
God doesn't leave us there,
00:17:15.93\00:17:18.93
sometimes, you know... oh
yeah, "I'll accept Christ,
00:17:18.97\00:17:21.07
I'm redeemed and now
I'll just go on living... "
00:17:21.10\00:17:23.20
no, God has made
you kings and priests,
00:17:23.24\00:17:26.71
now a king... has
dominion, he reigns...
00:17:26.74\00:17:32.28
he has sovereignty,
you... on this earth...
00:17:32.31\00:17:36.48
you are king...
you're not a servant,
00:17:36.52\00:17:38.62
you're not a slave
to Satan or to sin...
00:17:38.65\00:17:41.12
you are a king now,
you have sovereignty,
00:17:41.16\00:17:43.93
you're in charge
and you're a priest,
00:17:43.96\00:17:46.66
now, priests point to
the other side of that coin
00:17:46.70\00:17:50.17
in the Old
Testament there were kings
00:17:50.20\00:17:51.63
and there were
priests, but we're both...
00:17:51.67\00:17:53.87
we're both... we are
kings, we have power,
00:17:53.94\00:17:55.70
we have
sovereignty and we are priests,
00:17:55.74\00:17:57.47
in that... we are called to
specifically connect with God
00:17:57.51\00:18:01.54
on a spiritual level, intercede
for ourselves and for others,
00:18:01.61\00:18:05.28
we're called to this experience
that God wants us to have
00:18:05.31\00:18:08.95
that is outlined in
all the Old Testament
00:18:08.98\00:18:12.05
and even in the New
Testament as priesthood...
00:18:12.12\00:18:14.42
you have priesthood...
and you have kingship...
00:18:14.46\00:18:16.69
and this is what
God wants to do beyond
00:18:16.73\00:18:19.23
simply forgiving
us and redeeming us,
00:18:19.26\00:18:21.70
He wants us to step into
a new relationship with Him,
00:18:21.73\00:18:25.17
it's identified as
being kings and priests.
00:18:25.20\00:18:26.90
Ivor: It's interesting
that what God calls us here
00:18:26.94\00:18:30.77
and what He desires...
this king... kingship...
00:18:30.81\00:18:34.18
and priesthood... are spiritual,
He wants us to be kings
00:18:34.21\00:18:38.81
and priests
through the Holy Spirit...
00:18:38.85\00:18:41.75
it's very interesting that
Satan is seeking to counterfeit
00:18:41.78\00:18:46.25
this kings and
priests with his concept of
00:18:46.29\00:18:49.72
Church and State...
which is outward control,
00:18:49.76\00:18:53.16
you know... outward
force and it's quite amazing...
00:18:53.19\00:18:56.87
Satan seeks to counterfeit
everything... every good thing
00:18:56.90\00:19:00.44
that God wants to do
00:19:00.47\00:19:01.90
so He says,
"kings and priests...
00:19:01.94\00:19:03.27
I've made you
kings and priests,"
00:19:03.30\00:19:04.64
what is Satan going to do?
As we read through the book,
00:19:04.67\00:19:08.44
he's going to try to counterfeit
this... this combination
00:19:08.48\00:19:12.78
and make it so... that
it is external... outward
00:19:12.81\00:19:16.38
while nothing
00:19:16.42\00:19:17.75
is happening on the inside.
00:19:17.79\00:19:19.72
James: And he's
going to make it singular.
00:19:19.75\00:19:21.12
Ivor: Yes.
00:19:21.19\00:19:22.52
James: And in fact, some
translations of the Bible
00:19:22.56\00:19:23.89
will say, "I've made you
a kingdom of priests... "
00:19:23.93\00:19:25.29
now that is not
what God is talking...
00:19:25.33\00:19:28.03
because in a
kingdom, there's one king...
00:19:28.06\00:19:31.00
there's one
president, there's one head
00:19:31.03\00:19:33.94
and we all look to him,
00:19:33.97\00:19:35.30
"No, I've made you kings
and I've made you priests... "
00:19:35.34\00:19:37.77
each one of us has
responsibility over ourselves,
00:19:37.81\00:19:41.54
we don't give
that responsibility
00:19:41.58\00:19:42.91
to another human being,
00:19:42.94\00:19:44.28
that responsibility
is ours before God,
00:19:44.31\00:19:45.98
"I've made you
kings and priests...
00:19:46.01\00:19:48.08
not a king... but
kings and priests... "
00:19:48.12\00:19:49.48
so it's individual in
our relationship with Him
00:19:49.55\00:19:52.15
and it's powerful... really.
00:19:52.19\00:19:54.12
Yvonne: It's also
interesting to me...
00:19:54.16\00:19:56.32
when... when people...
are going through hard times
00:19:56.36\00:20:00.26
and everything... know
that God wants to elevate us,
00:20:00.30\00:20:04.17
to a different
position not just you know...
00:20:04.20\00:20:08.47
not... not feeling lower than
00:20:08.50\00:20:10.47
but to elevate us to
a different position,
00:20:10.51\00:20:13.17
we are kings which
means the head of something
00:20:13.21\00:20:15.88
and priests which
is the spiritual head
00:20:15.91\00:20:18.61
so... it's... it's
like God is saying,
00:20:18.68\00:20:21.38
"I'm taking you
to a new level... "
00:20:21.42\00:20:24.09
James: And I like that because
00:20:24.15\00:20:26.29
even though we
are under presidents
00:20:26.32\00:20:30.73
and under government,
there is a sense in which
00:20:30.76\00:20:34.56
each one of us has a sovereignty
00:20:34.63\00:20:38.10
and I think this Country
of America stands for that
00:20:38.13\00:20:41.97
at least in its Constitution
00:20:42.00\00:20:43.34
that there's this
individuality that we have
00:20:43.37\00:20:45.87
that does not
come under the dominion
00:20:45.91\00:20:47.48
of any government or any king...
00:20:47.54\00:20:48.88
and there's this
individuality we have
00:20:48.91\00:20:51.05
that does not come
under the... the... the...
00:20:51.08\00:20:53.48
control of any religious system
00:20:53.52\00:20:56.12
or pastor or priest
or anyone like that...
00:20:56.15\00:20:58.59
we ourselves are to
connect with God in prayer...
00:20:58.62\00:21:02.59
in confession, in intercession,
00:21:02.62\00:21:04.89
and we ourselves are
to be accountable to God
00:21:04.93\00:21:07.76
in our understanding
our beliefs when it comes to
00:21:07.80\00:21:10.57
the things that have to do
with our internal salvation
00:21:10.60\00:21:13.03
with the Kingdom of God...
00:21:13.07\00:21:14.97
we have to obey
the laws of the land...
00:21:15.00\00:21:17.01
we have to obey the
kings and the presidents...
00:21:17.04\00:21:19.74
that's important... but in these
in these areas where we know
00:21:19.77\00:21:23.78
it's eternal and it's
spiritual, we have one person
00:21:23.81\00:21:27.08
that we give account
to and we are sovereign
00:21:27.12\00:21:29.68
in our
relationship with that person
00:21:29.75\00:21:31.25
and that's really important here
00:21:31.29\00:21:33.36
because the
blood of Jesus Christ
00:21:33.39\00:21:35.12
has freed us to
be able to do that
00:21:35.16\00:21:36.79
and that's why we can't
allow anything to step in
00:21:36.83\00:21:40.63
between us and the
blood of Jesus Christ,
00:21:40.66\00:21:42.60
there's no other atonement...
no other sacrifice...
00:21:42.63\00:21:45.37
nothing else... that can
step in between that place
00:21:45.40\00:21:47.54
because it frees us to
be the kings and priests
00:21:47.57\00:21:49.00
that we're called to be.
00:21:49.07\00:21:50.41
Yvonne: Right... right...
00:21:50.44\00:21:51.77
James: Okay, so then it
goes on here and it says,
00:21:51.81\00:21:53.88
and this is where it
gets even more intense,
00:21:53.91\00:21:56.68
in the last few verses
00:21:56.71\00:21:58.05
and I'm just going
to be honest with you,
00:21:58.08\00:22:00.85
these last few
verses 11, 12, 13 and 14...
00:22:00.88\00:22:03.89
when I first started
studying the Book of Revelation,
00:22:03.92\00:22:06.02
I was just all about
prophecy, all about it,
00:22:06.05\00:22:09.92
oh man! I had a
cassette tape... now...
00:22:09.96\00:22:13.19
Jason, you may not know
what a cassette tape is...
00:22:13.23\00:22:17.40
Jason: I was around... I
was around for the 8 track...
00:22:17.43\00:22:21.50
James: It's okay, all right...
and I would put that tape in
00:22:21.54\00:22:23.74
and I would listen to the
half the Book of Revelation,
00:22:23.77\00:22:25.91
flip it over... and I
just went through that
00:22:25.94\00:22:27.54
till it quit
working, I mean... it...
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.08
I loved the Book of Revelation
but I really got bored
00:22:29.11\00:22:31.88
like, "Okay, why do
they have all these... "
00:22:31.91\00:22:34.78
I'm just going to say
these "praise interruptions"
00:22:34.82\00:22:37.05
interruptions of
praise I call them,
00:22:37.09\00:22:38.95
I mean, there are four verses
and it is... it's four verses...
00:22:38.99\00:22:41.92
but when we look
at the word count
00:22:41.96\00:22:43.29
it's probably half
of the chapter is praise
00:22:43.32\00:22:45.33
and in chapter
4... same thing...
00:22:45.36\00:22:47.10
you know, "Holy, holy, holy,"
and they're all praising God
00:22:47.13\00:22:49.16
and they're all praising God,
and they're all praising God...
00:22:49.20\00:22:51.23
and I'm like...
"What about prophecy,
00:22:51.27\00:22:52.87
what about the
beast, what about the Mark,
00:22:52.90\00:22:54.50
what about... you
know... what is all...
00:22:54.54\00:22:56.34
why are we
wasting... and I'm thinking,
00:22:56.37\00:22:58.07
"Wow... " now that I
look back I am realizing,
00:22:58.11\00:23:01.34
because I missed the point,
I missed the purpose of praise,
00:23:01.38\00:23:05.41
I missed the response
because like Ivor said,
00:23:05.45\00:23:09.68
when you're... when
you're going to a wedding,
00:23:09.72\00:23:11.92
when you're
seeing people married...
00:23:11.95\00:23:14.26
you're excited and
you're happy and you're just...
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.26
you're loving it and you
want to just savor the moment
00:23:16.29\00:23:19.56
because... and it's just this
time of rejoicing and praise,
00:23:19.59\00:23:21.96
and I wasn't
going to the wedding...
00:23:22.03\00:23:24.17
I was looking
for the prophecies...
00:23:24.20\00:23:26.33
I was looking for the history
00:23:26.37\00:23:27.70
but I wasn't
going to the wedding
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.07
and when we actually
step into the wedding,
00:23:29.10\00:23:31.51
we realize the
bleakness of our situation...
00:23:31.54\00:23:33.94
we recognize in chapter 4
God's throne is set finally,
00:23:33.98\00:23:38.05
it's set... the
rainbow is there,
00:23:38.08\00:23:40.05
justice and mercy
has been reconciled,
00:23:40.08\00:23:41.65
the elders are there...
down payment in earnest,
00:23:41.68\00:23:43.99
when we realize and we
see this big picture...
00:23:44.02\00:23:46.35
and how it took place and...
00:23:46.39\00:23:47.72
and the
impossibility for us and yet...
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.92
what God has accomplished
for us... we get excited.
00:23:49.96\00:23:52.66
Ivor: There's a
serious danger here because...
00:23:52.69\00:23:55.33
there's a Bible
principle that says,
00:23:55.36\00:23:57.87
"By beholding...
we become changed... "
00:23:57.90\00:24:00.34
and what we behold... in
the Book of Revelation...
00:24:00.40\00:24:04.61
I mean, think about it,
if our focus is on the beast,
00:24:04.64\00:24:08.84
the beast, the
beast, the beast, the beast,
00:24:08.88\00:24:11.51
right... and "I just
want to see the beast... "
00:24:11.55\00:24:14.15
James: Yeah, we're escaping...
00:24:14.18\00:24:16.08
Ivor: I want to see the
beast, what begins to happen is
00:24:16.12\00:24:20.09
you may not realize
it but your character
00:24:20.12\00:24:22.36
is not balanced by
beholding the beast
00:24:22.42\00:24:24.63
and so, we can become very...
00:24:24.66\00:24:26.70
"You know
what... I mean, just... "
00:24:26.73\00:24:29.36
James:
beastly... Ivor: beastly...
00:24:29.40\00:24:32.00
man that guy is a
beast... you know...
00:24:32.03\00:24:34.64
but so... so the
Book of Revelation
00:24:34.67\00:24:36.60
is not the
revelation of the beast
00:24:36.64\00:24:38.37
it's the
revelation of the Lamb...
00:24:38.44\00:24:40.11
right, so the Lamb is the
focus and the beast is secondary
00:24:40.14\00:24:44.21
it's important... we
need to understand the beast
00:24:44.25\00:24:46.92
but if we don't
have the character,
00:24:46.95\00:24:49.55
we might end up
becoming like the beast, right,
00:24:49.58\00:24:54.36
knowing the truth but
our hearts are very beastly.
00:24:54.39\00:24:59.09
James: This is
really important because
00:24:59.13\00:25:01.30
in Revelation it says
00:25:01.36\00:25:02.70
there's this group of people who
follow the Lamb wherever He goes
00:25:02.73\00:25:04.70
and the rest follow the
beast... Ivor: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:25:04.73\00:25:06.07
James: and the way we are tells
00:25:06.10\00:25:07.97
whether we're following the Lamb
or we're following the beast,
00:25:08.00\00:25:09.37
are we following the
Lamb on a daily basis
00:25:09.40\00:25:11.54
or are we following the beast
00:25:11.57\00:25:12.91
because ultimately, we
follow one or the other
00:25:12.94\00:25:14.84
because of the
decisions we're making daily.
00:25:14.88\00:25:16.88
The other things I
love about these verses is
00:25:16.91\00:25:18.91
they give us a
little bit of a picture...
00:25:18.95\00:25:20.95
a little bit of a
taste of eternity...
00:25:20.98\00:25:23.18
Revelation's seven churches
does that, you know, you have...
00:25:23.22\00:25:25.95
"I want to make you
a pillar in the temple,
00:25:25.99\00:25:27.66
I'm going to give you a
new name with a white stone"
00:25:27.69\00:25:29.86
and... and... here we see...
00:25:29.89\00:25:31.93
it says here... let's
just read the verses again
00:25:31.96\00:25:35.06
"And... and I... " verse 11...
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.03
"And I beheld, and I
heard the voice of many angels
00:25:37.07\00:25:39.23
round about the throne
and the beasts and the elders:
00:25:39.27\00:25:41.34
and the number of them was
ten thousand times ten thousand,
00:25:41.37\00:25:43.54
and thousands of thousands;
00:25:43.61\00:25:45.27
Saying with a loud voice,
00:25:45.31\00:25:46.94
Worthy is the
Lamb that was slain
00:25:46.98\00:25:48.38
to receive power,
and riches, and wisdom,
00:25:48.41\00:25:50.15
and strength, and
honour, and glory, and blessing.
00:25:50.18\00:25:51.75
And every
creature... " verse 13...
00:25:51.78\00:25:53.62
"which is in heaven, and on
the earth, and under the earth,
00:25:53.68\00:25:56.42
and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them,
00:25:56.45\00:25:58.52
heard I saying, Blessing... "
00:25:58.55\00:25:59.92
this is pointing all the
way to the very end of times
00:25:59.95\00:26:03.53
see... it's going to
give us a little taste,
00:26:03.56\00:26:05.79
a little taste of
what it's going to be like
00:26:05.83\00:26:08.00
when everything is made new,
00:26:08.06\00:26:09.53
that's what Revelation does
in the churches, in the seals,
00:26:09.56\00:26:13.07
it's a little taste of...
00:26:13.10\00:26:14.44
all the way
down to the very end.
00:26:14.47\00:26:15.80
Yvonne: This also
gives a little taste of the
00:26:15.84\00:26:17.97
fourth commandment too
00:26:18.01\00:26:19.34
"the earth and under the earth
and such as are in the sea,
00:26:19.37\00:26:22.88
and all that in
them is... " you know...
00:26:22.94\00:26:24.51
James: And verse 14...
"and worshipped him... "
00:26:24.55\00:26:29.42
Ivor: Remember the location...
right, the Table of Shewbread,
00:26:29.45\00:26:33.39
where is the Table of Shewbread?
It's in the sides of the north,
00:26:33.42\00:26:36.59
what's happening there?
That's where, every Sabbath,
00:26:36.62\00:26:39.66
the priests change the bread
00:26:39.69\00:26:41.20
showing that the
Table of Shewbread
00:26:41.23\00:26:42.96
reveals Christ as Creator,
that's why it's His throne,
00:26:43.00\00:26:46.80
because He's creating so...
this context of redemption...
00:26:46.84\00:26:50.61
the Sabbath also is
a sign of redemption...
00:26:50.64\00:26:52.44
it falls right in line
with everything we're looking at
00:26:52.47\00:26:56.85
in chapter five...
preparing us for the seals,
00:26:56.88\00:26:59.78
it's all about redemption...
redemption... redemption.
00:26:59.81\00:27:03.18
Yvonne: Wow! James:
Beautiful... beautiful...
00:27:03.22\00:27:04.55
We...
00:27:04.59\00:27:05.92
we are ready to open the seals,
00:27:05.95\00:27:08.69
yes, we are ready to open
the seals... now because see...
00:27:08.72\00:27:11.06
understanding the
seals is predicated upon
00:27:11.09\00:27:13.66
understanding chapters
four and five of Revelation,
00:27:13.70\00:27:16.43
this is all about...
what is this all about...
00:27:16.46\00:27:18.23
and when we get
this figured out,
00:27:18.27\00:27:19.60
we start opening the
seals, "Oh! wow, yes, got it now
00:27:19.63\00:27:22.54
now it makes sense
because we got this...
00:27:22.57\00:27:24.87
we got... so...
this... this is beautiful...
00:27:24.91\00:27:27.18
this is... it's in our
pocket, God has blessed
00:27:27.21\00:27:29.44
and now we're
ready for the seals,
00:27:29.48\00:27:31.15
now there may be some
people who have some questions
00:27:31.18\00:27:33.05
that they want to
ask video questions,
00:27:33.08\00:27:35.02
where are they going to
send those questions, Jason?
00:27:35.05\00:27:36.99
Jason: To sss@3abn. org
00:27:37.02\00:27:40.26
that's "s" as in
Salvation in Symbols and Signs,
00:27:40.32\00:27:43.39
@3abn. org video
submissions, of course.
00:27:43.43\00:27:46.29
James: Yvonne, close us
out with prayer, would you?
00:27:46.36\00:27:49.50
Yvonne: Yes,
sure... "Oh Father God...
00:27:49.53\00:27:51.33
what a rich study in your Word,
00:27:51.40\00:27:53.13
thank you for being
the divine designer,
00:27:53.17\00:27:55.17
we know that this is not
by happenstance but by design
00:27:55.20\00:27:58.71
so we praise you
and thank you so much
00:27:58.77\00:28:01.14
and as we continue
to study your Word...
00:28:01.18\00:28:03.55
we pray for continued guidance
00:28:03.58\00:28:05.75
for your anointing and your
power and your presence Lord,
00:28:05.78\00:28:09.02
thank you, in
Jesus' name, amen. "
00:28:09.05\00:28:10.39
All: "Amen... "
00:28:10.42\00:28:12.15
