Wow, even though our
time is just about up,
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.80
we have to get this question in.
00:00:02.83\00:00:04.70
"Jesus knew He
was the Son of God
00:00:04.73\00:00:07.00
at an early age,
00:00:07.04\00:00:08.47
He was aware of His gift
at age, at the age of 12,
00:00:08.50\00:00:12.27
when He got left
behind at the temple
00:00:12.31\00:00:14.18
and His parents
went back to find Him,
00:00:14.24\00:00:15.88
so why did He wait
till He was 30 years old
00:00:15.91\00:00:18.81
before getting
baptized and start preaching?
00:00:18.85\00:00:21.85
I never could understand that."
00:00:21.88\00:00:23.49
This comes from Ed.
00:00:23.55\00:00:24.89
Everything that
happened in the life of Jesus
00:00:24.92\00:00:26.25
was according to Bible prophecy.
00:00:26.29\00:00:27.62
Amen.
00:00:27.66\00:00:28.99
Daniel 9:24-27
00:00:29.02\00:00:30.36
outline the
entire life of Christ
00:00:30.39\00:00:32.39
and the Bible
says in Galatians 4-4,
00:00:32.43\00:00:34.50
"When the
fullness of time had come,
00:00:34.56\00:00:37.50
God sent forth His Son."
00:00:37.53\00:00:38.93
So He didn't come in
the world before or after,
00:00:38.97\00:00:40.80
He didn't come late
but according to schedule.
00:00:40.87\00:00:43.47
And all through
His life, He said,
00:00:43.54\00:00:44.87
"The time is fulfilled."
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.47
In Daniel 9:25
about the life of Christ,
00:00:46.51\00:00:48.94
"Know therefore and understand
00:00:48.98\00:00:50.78
that from the going
forth of the command
00:00:50.81\00:00:52.15
to restore and build Jerusalem
until the Messiah the Prince,
00:00:52.18\00:00:55.32
there shall be seven
weeks and sixty-two weeks."
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.69
So even His
baptism was ordained.
00:00:57.72\00:01:00.26
And so when you follow
00:01:00.29\00:01:01.69
from the going
forth of the command,
00:01:01.72\00:01:03.06
the decree 483 years later,
00:01:03.09\00:01:06.66
it takes you right to the
year that Jesus was baptized.
00:01:06.70\00:01:09.06
In Luke 3:1 says,
00:01:09.10\00:01:10.43
"It was the 15th year
00:01:10.50\00:01:11.83
of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar."
00:01:11.87\00:01:13.30
Caesar co-reigned in 12
AD, you add 15 to 12, 27 AD.
00:01:13.37\00:01:18.47
That's why Jesus
couldn't get baptized earlier,
00:01:18.51\00:01:21.08
it was foreordained,
00:01:21.11\00:01:22.68
and prophesied the year
that He would be baptized.
00:01:22.71\00:01:25.38
Amen. Wow.
00:01:25.41\00:01:26.88
Yeah, I just got to add to
that beautiful as pastor said
00:01:26.95\00:01:29.05
it's all
according to Bible prophecy.
00:01:29.08\00:01:30.82
And as he
referenced here, alluded to,
00:01:30.85\00:01:33.49
you know, Jesus
always made mention of this
00:01:33.52\00:01:35.12
you know that
His time was not yet,
00:01:35.16\00:01:36.52
I'm thinking of John 2:4,
00:01:36.56\00:01:38.63
"He said, 'Woman, what
do you have concern with Me?
00:01:38.66\00:01:41.23
My hour has not yet come.'"
00:01:41.26\00:01:42.76
It was not according to
His perfect timing just yet.
00:01:42.80\00:01:45.77
That's deep. That's deep.
00:01:45.80\00:01:47.14
