How can you take a 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: guy seriously teaching the Bible, the very King James Bible 11 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: no less, with a silly hat. Well, I'm not gonna 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: wear it. I'm sorry, I'll put it on seeing some 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: Christmas Carls later. But the moment, we're going to go 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: to the oracles, and I pray that God get your Bible. 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: I'm serious, get your Bible. So I'm gonna I'm gonna 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: challenge you today and you're gonna go. Is that in 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the Bible? That's my goal to make you go? Is 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: that really in there? All right, We're going to go 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: to Matthew. Matthew's Gospel tells us the news about Jesus 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: I think Matthew was there's a theory behind who the 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: audience is right, and so Matthew presents Jesus as a 22 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: great teacher. I think he was trying to present him 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: to the gentiles. I'm correct, a record of the genealogy 24 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. He's actually going to go through the 25 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: genealogies as he's taking. Certainly this is going to be 26 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: important to the Jewish people. Now watch this. You ever 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: notice how you ignore the Begetts. Oh, the role of 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: your eyes. I don't know why they do all that. Well, 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: you see, there's a mystery in the Begats, and I'm 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: going to show you when you've missed your whole life 31 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: a record of the genealogy of Jesus. See, Jesus has 32 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: to specifically come from one. And do you know that 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: Jezebel in the Old Testament was a demonic principality operating 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: through a political leader who sought to exterminate all the prophets. 35 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: Elijah being the final one that stood up against Jezebel. 36 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: And in this kind of David and Goliath moment where 37 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: the fire comes down and having kaboom, it ends up 38 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: with you know, Jezebel getting thrown out of a window. 39 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: The dog's looking up her blood. Kind of a bloody end. 40 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: But this is what the prophet is, what happened when 41 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: she took on the prophet, and God vindicated and defended 42 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: the prophet. But her daughter, she had a daughter, and 43 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: the daughter went after the natural seed of David to 44 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: kill the bloodline because the promise was there would be 45 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: a ruler Messiah coming from the seat of David. You 46 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: talk about how it was like Hitler almost annihilating all that. 47 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: What if Hitler in won World War two and just 48 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: hunted down Jews all over the world, Well, it would 49 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: have been hard to have in Israel for Jesus to 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: come back to. It's truly weird right now. Everybody's angry 51 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: with the Jews, and they realized that for the love 52 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: of Pete, God had to preserve the Jewish people. There's 53 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: almost like there's a demonic something that wants to annihilate 54 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: the Jews and Israel, and it's always anti Christ spirits 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: doing it. All right, So the same way that Herod 56 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: had killed all the children two years old and under 57 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: in order to get at the Messiah, Jezebel, same spirit 58 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: of murder against the seed that has the overcomer in 59 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the earth, Jesus. The same spirit shows up in Second 60 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: King's Chapter eleven. The daughter of Ahb and Jezebel has 61 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the same spirit in her generational curse that Jezebel had. 62 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: Her name is Athalia, the mother of Azidah Ahaziah, and 63 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: she saw that her son was dead and she proceeded 64 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: to destroy the whole royal family. So she is Jezebel 65 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: and Ahab's daughter. Her son dies, and she goes after 66 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: the royal seed of David, every single one, to kill 67 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: them all to cut off the promise of the Messiah. 68 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: You know how close we came to losing mean, this 69 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: is amazing. One little boy was left of the promised 70 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: seed in the lineage, and so Jehosheba, the daughter of 71 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: King Jehoram and sister of Raziah, took joe Ash the 72 00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: son of Araziah, and stole him away among the royal 73 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 1: princes who were about to be murdered. She's going after 74 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: all the bloodline. She put him and his nurse in 75 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: a bedroom to hide him from Jezebel's daughter, so he 76 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: was not killed, and he remained hidden with his nurse 77 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: in the temple in the House of God, hidden for 78 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: six years while Italia ruled the land. In the seventh year, 79 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Yahida sent for the commanders of units of a hundred, 80 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the Karaites and the guards, and had them brought to 81 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: him at the Temple of the Lord. Now what's interesting 82 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: is you think of the priest as kind of a 83 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: soft shouldered meat kind of temple ordinance, but these were 84 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: actually palace guards, temple guards. They were armed, actually trained 85 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: for war, kind of like you know the kung Fu monks, 86 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, they they're they're they're kind of like the 87 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: meditative of the mystics, but they're all trained for combat. 88 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: Well that's what these guys were, and on occasion they 89 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: had to fight for it because Infidels were constantly attacking 90 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: the Hebrews. So the guards were brought to him at 91 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: the temple, and he made a covenant with them and 92 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: put them under oath of the Temple of the Lord, 93 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: showed them the King's son, brought him out, brought out 94 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: the king's son and commanded them and said, listen, everywhere 95 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: he goes, you go from now on, it's it's like 96 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: protecting the president. The third of you are guarding the 97 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: royal palace. A third of you are guarding the gate. 98 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: A third of you are actually going to be wandering around. 99 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: Wherever he goes. He goes to the bathroom, you go, 100 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: he goes out, you go. He's got to preserve and 101 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: protect the entrance, the exit, and where he goes, you go. 102 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: So stay close to the king. Now, the guards, each 103 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: with his weapon Verse elevens says in his hands, stationed 104 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: themselves around the king, near the altar with the temple 105 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: in the south side of the north side of the temple. 106 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: In the south side to the north side, Jehidah brought 107 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: out the king's son, put a crown on him. He's 108 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: just a kid seven years old, and proclaimed him king. 109 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and 110 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: shut along lived the king. Well, Jezebel's daughter, here's this. 111 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: The noise is made. She yells treason, treason. She races 112 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: into the temple, and the priest order the commander of 113 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops, 114 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: bring her out between the ranks and put to the 115 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: sword anyone who follows her. For the priest said she 116 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: must not be put to death. In the temple, so 117 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: they seized her as she reached the palace where the 118 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: horses entered the palace grounds, and there she was put 119 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: to death. Jeheida then made a covenant between the Lord 120 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: and the king and the people that they would be 121 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: the Lord's people, and they went after Bale's temple, tore 122 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: it down, smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and 123 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: killed the matan, the priest the bail in front of 124 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the altars, and with that began the reformation and revival 125 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: that took place in the in the years following. But 126 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: what I want you to do, what I want you 127 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: to do to see here, and he says, this is 128 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: the part that's so important, is that the enemy has 129 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: always wanted to destroy the genealogy and to destroy the bloodline, 130 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: to destroy the believers that are on the earth, and 131 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: to reduce them to a remnant. And at times God 132 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: has let it come down to that one wick on 133 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: one candle, but he never lets the never lets the 134 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: witness go out. That's why Hanakkah I believe the miracle 135 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: must be true. Jesus actually observed the Feast of Lights 136 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: the Honkkah commemoration, and it was when in Taikers. Epiphanes, 137 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: who was a type of the Antichrist, actually rose up 138 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: in Israel and put Pig's blood in the temple and 139 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: forced the Jews to blasphem like the Antichrist, who is 140 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: going to force people to take a mark and deny faith? 141 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: And it was the Maccabees were called the Hammer that 142 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: that family rose up and went after Antiochus and led 143 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: a rebellion, one of the rebellions that God was in. 144 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: The Jewish people were always in rebellion. In this case, 145 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: God was in the rebellion. Now, the oil that they 146 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: had in the lamp when they purified the temple, cleansed 147 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: it from this, you know, pig's blood, etc. Sanctified the altar. 148 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: The oil had to be of a particular Aaron and 149 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Levitic process in order for it to have the properties 150 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: that was sacred oil and not pagan oil. They only 151 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: had one vial, and so what they did was they 152 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: took the vial, poured it in one day's oil, and 153 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: they had to wait days for the preparation of the 154 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: other oil to be sanctified. But the oil lasted for 155 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: what eight days? And that's why you light eight candles 156 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: because it ran out. It's like the oil should have 157 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: run out, but it kept on refilling. It kept on 158 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: supernaturally eight days and the moment that it was ready 159 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: to run out, they had more oil. God always leaves 160 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: a witness for his people. And you may feel like 161 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: the oil is running out for you may feel like 162 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: time is running out. You may fielding your bank account, 163 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: maybe looking at a hey blood count, you know, with 164 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: a medical condition. I'm a voice at Christmas in the 165 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: world and iss saying there's a way. God's lighting a 166 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: light in the darkness. There is hope, there is victory, 167 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: there is an answer, there is a solution. There is 168 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: divine activity, divine intervention. God is the eleventh hour God. 169 00:10:52,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: He shows up and surprises people. So now we come 170 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: back to the genealogy of Jesus. I didn't get very 171 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: far in Matthew, did I. But I'm going somewhere because 172 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the genealogy, you see, is very important to the Jews 173 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: because jeesbel the devil has always tried to kill. Then 174 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Herod's gonna come along and try to kill the bloodline again. 175 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: But God always has a remnant and a lineage. Now 176 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: let's take a look at this. The genealogy record of 177 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: the genealogy of Jesus, the son of David, the son 178 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: of Abraham. Now you read these and it's Abraham was 179 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: the father of Isaac, guys, the father of Jacob, Jacob 180 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: the father of Jud. I want you to just go ahead, 181 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: look at all this is going to go on. We 182 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: got the Begats, the Begats of Begats. But notice something. 183 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: It starts at verse two with Abraham and it ends 184 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: with Jesse, the father of King David. So it's it's 185 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: important that you know how things begin and how they end. 186 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: Mostly I remember a friend of mine that had a 187 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: marching band, and he used to do Bob Harris next, 188 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: so you do Christian you know conferences, He said, people 189 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: remember the beginning lands, they remember the end. When I 190 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: had a marching band, it was how you went on 191 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: the field, it was how you went off the field. 192 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: That's what the crowd remember. Is in the middle of 193 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: his music, boun walking around blowing trumpets. I never forgot that. 194 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: Look how something begins, Look how something ends, that's the 195 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: part that's important. So it starts with Abraham and it 196 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: ends with David. In the first group that's from Abraham 197 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: Boom fourteen generations to David. Then David the father of Solomon, 198 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: whose mother had been your Eye's wife. You know, they 199 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: got the Bible puts that little chapter in their little 200 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: scandal in there. The Bible is the only book in 201 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: the world that talks about the sins of his heroes. 202 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: So David the follower of Solomon's mother was your Ey's wife, 203 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: Solomon the father ray of Bohm. And then you follow 204 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: it down and it says something interesting, what's the end 205 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: end of that chapter of history? Fourteen generations and joe 206 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: Ash the father of Jakiniah and his brothers at the 207 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: time of the exile to Babylon kaboom. In other words, 208 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: the Jewish history is Abraham the David, the glory of David, 209 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: and then Solomon and strength, then prutle It peters out 210 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: to exile in Babylon. It's important how it begins and 211 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: how it ends in other fourteen generations. They're there for 212 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: seventy years, Jeremiah propheesided. Then they then they come out 213 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: of exile. And Jakariah was the father of Shield to 214 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: your shield, to the father of Zerubabo, who you've heard 215 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: me talk about. The sign that ring anointing is this 216 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: little guy with a little remnant that goes back to 217 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: Israel and will rebuild the temple. He's in the lineage 218 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: of Jesus, So Jack and I, it starts with him 219 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: coming out of Babylon and it ends with Jesus, who 220 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: is called Christ. But here's something you've never seen. Tell 221 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: me if you've ever seen it before, what you've never seen. Thus, 222 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: there were fourteen generations in all, from Abraham to David, 223 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: and fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and 224 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: fourteen from the exile to the Christ. The problem is 225 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: there's actually only thirteen that come up to Joseph, and 226 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: then Christ is cut off. He has no offspring, he 227 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: has no children, He's killed at thirty three and a 228 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: half years of age. In other words, we have fourteen 229 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: generations in the first group Abraham to David, fourteen from Babel, 230 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: from Solomon to exile and Babylon, and then thirteen in 231 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: the last group. And I remember, as I was I 232 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: was studying this, I said, wait a second, this the 233 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: Bible's true. And they're very fastidious in the Bible about 234 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: generation to generate the generation. So how does it end up? 235 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: We've got thirteen. And then Jesus comes along, but there's no, 236 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: he's not the father of where's the fourteenth generation going 237 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: to be? And then I began to think. Go to 238 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: Hebrews chapter two, verse ten, and what does the Bible say? 239 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Something curious when you think about Jesus will have a 240 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: generation of offspring, and it gets into some interesting theology here. 241 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Whereas Hebrews chapter two, verse ten, it does say this. 242 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: It says in verse ten that in bringing many sons 243 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and 244 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: through whom exists everything exists, should make the author of 245 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: the salvation perfect through suffering. But it does say that 246 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: he is going to bring many sons to glory. So 247 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: Jesus in a sense is producing many sons. But then 248 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: I'll show you an even more interesting verse. Go to 249 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: Isaiah fifty three. Isaiah fifty three, and this is a 250 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: mystery verse Isaiah fifty three, verse the prophecy about Jesus, 251 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: and watch this. Verse nine says he was assigned to 252 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: grave with the wicked and with the rich, and his 253 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: death though he had done no violence, nor was any 254 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: deceit found in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord's 255 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: will to crush him and cause him to suffer. And 256 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering, he 257 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: will see his offspring and prolong his days. And the 258 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After 259 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: the sufferings of his soul, he shall see the light 260 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: of life and be satisfied by his knowledge. My righteous 261 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: servant will justify many. But take a look at this, 262 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: he will see his offspring. Jesus has offspring. That's right, 263 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: that Jesus brings many sons to glory. Evidently, so there 264 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: is an offspring of Jesus. Those that are born of 265 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: the spirit actually become the offspring of Jesus. It's mysterious's 266 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: mis mystery to me. But he becomes this fourteenth generation, 267 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: becomes the generation that that Jesus himself sires. He brings 268 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: to birth the final generation, the fourteenth generation. And thus 269 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: all fourteen generations happened in these verses. Just take a 270 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: look at it and see see what I'm talking about. 271 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: That there is the generation that is coming on the 272 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: scene now could be the final generation of the offspring 273 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: of Jesus on the earth. So this is how the 274 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: birth of Jesus came about. His mother Mary was pledged 275 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: to be married to Joseph, and you know the story 276 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. 277 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: I want you to think about the scandal of being chosen. 278 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: I think you know everyone, certainly all Catholics, would say 279 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: that she was blessed of all women hell married, favored 280 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: of God. Do you remember the accusation that they gave 281 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: Jesus when he claimed that before Abraham was I am, 282 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: and they took up stones to stone him. In the 283 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Gospel of Saint John, they said to him, we were 284 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: not born of fornication like you rumor that Jesus grew 285 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: up with in Nazareth. You know how small towns are. 286 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: Small Jewish towns are like Amish communities. Everybody talks about 287 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: everybody's families at the sun and so and so, the 288 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: sister so and so. Everybody's kind of like kiddetzing, putting 289 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: the couples together, matchmaking. It's a very interesting culture. I 290 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: guarantee that her pregnancy was brought up as an issue 291 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: that Joseph and she had to deal with the stigma 292 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: of premaritural sex, that they had to erase the marriage 293 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: because she was already pregnant and here she is a 294 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: virgin who is showing with child. Joseph himself wants to 295 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: divorce her. He fab he is having a hard time 296 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: believing her. God had to send an angel to him 297 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: to sort him out. My point is, Jesus, virgin born mother, 298 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: the virgin that birthed them, had to deal with the 299 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: scandal of premaritual infidelity in the Jewish tradition. Think about 300 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: the scandalous call of God. That's why I'm always amazed 301 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that people are worrying about, you know, God's reputation. God 302 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: started off his reputation with the surrounded by you know, 303 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: the National Inquirer in Nazareth talking about him. So, anyway, 304 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: Jesus is born after let's see. No, So this is 305 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: how the birth of Jesus happened. Because Joseph was her 306 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: husband Verse nineteen and a righteous man. He didn't want 307 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: to expose you to public disgrace, so he was going 308 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: to divorce her privately. But after he considered this, an 309 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: angel of the Lord appeared. I like to take my 310 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: Bible with a pen, the Angel of the Lord, and 311 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: I always circle the angels and the supernatural and dreams. 312 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: Circle the supernatural, underline it and read, so when you're 313 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: reading the Bible, you realize this is the supernatural lifestyle 314 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: of a Christian. God appeared to him in a dream. 315 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: An angel appeared to him and said, Joseph's son of David, 316 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: did not be afraid to take marry home as your wife, 317 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 318 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: She will get birth to a son. For you are 319 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: to give him the name Jesus, because he will save 320 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: his people from their sins. I love that statement. From 321 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: not in their sins, but pull you out. You know 322 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: you're a Christian. Sometimes sincere Christians and people wonder, I 323 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: wonder if I'm really saved. I wonder if I'm really saved. 324 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: You don't wonder if you're really saved when you're not saved. 325 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: It's only Christians that wonder. Wonder, wonder if they're really saved? Why? 326 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: Because they're afraid they're not. They're concerned about sin. They're 327 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: concerned about the areas in their life where they're not 328 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: yet overcoming. If you are conscientious about wanting to be 329 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: free from sin, that is a desire of the Holy 330 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: Spirit that is in you. You haven't committed the unpardonable sin. 331 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: If you're worried you committed it. Because the people that 332 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: probably have committed I don't have any Holy spirit convicting them. 333 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: They could care less. As a matter of fact, one 334 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: of the dangerous signs of judgment is when God stops 335 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: wrestling with someone's behavior. The fact that he's wrestling with 336 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: them shows he's loving them, He's trying to pull him 337 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: out of it. When God stops wrestling, you're in trouble. 338 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: So some of you that are listening right now, I 339 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: just got this feeling. You need to know that peace 340 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: with God is possible because He is sent to save 341 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: you from But as you are struggling to overcome you 342 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: are a Christian. God's desires to give you even more 343 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: grace so that you can enter into a place where 344 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: you are free from condemnation. Because there's no sin that 345 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: has a grip on you. We can all stumble and fall, 346 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: but you're not under the daily grip of something. He's 347 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: sent to save his people from, not in, but from 348 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: to pull you out and deliver you from sins. All 349 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: this took place. If fulfill what the Lord says to 350 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: the prophet, a virgin will be with child and give 351 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: birth to his son and they will call his name Emmanuel, 352 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: which means God with us. You know I did a 353 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: series of God with Us and he shall deliver us Emmanuel, 354 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: and you know he's come to deliver. So then want 355 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, right after I named the series, someone says 356 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: God does more than God with us, He's God in us. 357 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: And I thought, he says God with us is an 358 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Old Testament revelation. The New Testament revelation is God is 359 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: in us. I thought, now you tell me, I just 360 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: put the series out. Do you ever wonder about what 361 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: is the catalyst behind warfare spiritual warfare? I got an 362 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: unusual proposition to give you in the world's most unusual 363 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: kind of Bible study, which is what I like to do, 364 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: finding things that most people miss and don't appreciate in 365 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: the Bible called royal dainties and the song Solomon. I'll 366 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: tell you what they are. One of them is this 367 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: thought right here, is that the Spirit of God is 368 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: revealing things to his saints now that must be birthed 369 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: so that the prophetic can hear it, so that the 370 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: intercessors can pray it out. Paul said his warfare was 371 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: because of the abundance of revelation, an angel was assigned 372 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: to me, a tormenting spirit or a adversary. In other words, 373 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: Paul said, the abundance of revelation was the catalyst behind 374 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: because when God reveals something to you, he authorizes you 375 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,479 Speaker 1: to manifest it. When God reveals something to you, he 376 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: authorizes you to make it manifest. And how does that? 377 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: This is why the prophetic and the intercession takes such 378 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: a beating. I know many of your are not heard properly, 379 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: but I'm praying that all of us become Daniels who 380 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: have daytime jobs, even secular work we got to do. 381 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: But we can seal ourselves into the prophet's office or 382 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: the prophetic realm to pray so that we engage angels 383 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: in our intercession and are actually following up in ways 384 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: that affect the course of history. So let's start right 385 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: now with last week. I was talking about the generations 386 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: of Jesus and it's an interesting teaching and I was 387 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: I was studying it with some folks that were from 388 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: the Latter Rain movement. Actually, I was reading some of 389 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: their works and they were talking about how they believe 390 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: that there's a final company in the Earth that is 391 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: going to be a manifest son of God, or a 392 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: manifestation of the sons of God, or an overcoming generation 393 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: in the Book of Revelation, or a bride who is 394 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: clothed with the glory of God, or the final generation 395 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: that is that is going to be a glorious, victorious 396 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: bride that is caught up to before him, that which 397 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: to call the translation or the rapture or the meat 398 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: of the Lord in the air. However, your interpretation of 399 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: end times is there is a fully formed and mature 400 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: body that Apostle Paul said that he prayed that either 401 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: the fivefule ministry was going to continue until we come 402 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: to the fullness of the stature, of the fullness of Christ. 403 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: So there's this, there's this yearning in the earth for 404 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: a manifestation of the maturity of Jesus and a corporate man. 405 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: And this is what the spirit of God is going 406 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: to bring in the final iteration of expression of the Kingdom. 407 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: And it's proven by the fact that there are fourteen 408 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: generations in the first sequence of verses I covered last week, 409 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: fourteen Jenning the Bible says and fourteen. But if you 410 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: count the last fourteen, there's only thirteen which means Jesus 411 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: himself has his own seed, his own reproduced in a 412 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: sense a son or a man, or a company in 413 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: his image and in his likeness, and that will happen now. 414 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: If revelation is what causes the warfare, let me make 415 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: that point again here. Gabriel, for instance, is coming down 416 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: in the six months in Luke, chapter one, verse twenty six. 417 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: He's already visited Zechariah. He spoke to him, the angel Gabriel, 418 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: and freak as Zechariah. He said, hey, God's heard your prayer. 419 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: And Zechariah goes, what prayer well? For your wife to 420 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: have a baby. He goes, man, I haven't prayed that 421 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: in thirty years, twenty year. I stopped praying that when 422 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: we got old. And the angel says, stop talking, because 423 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: your prayer is in God's presence. It's a now prayer. 424 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: The prayers I want to tell you right now, prophetically 425 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: prayers you pray when you were eighteen twenty. I'll go 426 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: anywhere you want you this if you just send me anywhere, 427 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: I want to follow you all those sincere prayers you prayed. 428 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: How do you know God isn't company right now? And 429 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: saying I'm doing it. You got to you have to 430 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: have your faith up to get God to answer the 431 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: prayers of your passionate fasting prayer, youth. That he's now 432 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: saying is the fullness of times with a Zechariah. He 433 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: was out of sync with his own prayers, and the 434 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: Angel said, hey, I've come to give you the answer. Man. 435 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: It's like in our realm time is you know, a 436 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: second is like a thousand years. Sorry about that, but 437 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: I gotta make you mute. You're gonna mess up your 438 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: own miracle, which shows you have authority to affect the 439 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 1: spirit realm by what comes out of your mouth. You 440 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: have authority to affect the spirit realm and the angelic 441 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: activity by what comes out of your mouth, because you're 442 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: authorizing something by your utterance. So anyway, the Angel in 443 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: six months now goes to Gabriel. Gabriel's the Angel to Nazareth, 444 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: to a town in Galilee. The Angel goes to meet Mary, 445 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: talks to Mary and starts to give her the instructions 446 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: about what's gonna happen. I want to talk about Gabriel 447 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: for a second. I've fall into the trap. Sometimes you 448 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: hear preachers preach things. Michael's the warrior angel. Gabriel is 449 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: the mostinger angel. You know. It's like, wait a second, 450 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: they're all warrior angels, and I'll prove it to you 451 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: because the only angel would assorted fighting principalities talking to 452 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: Daniel is Gabriel. And Gabriel is a revelation angel who 453 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: wars to give to people on earth the divine word 454 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: that must be birthed, the divine direction that must be manifest, 455 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: the divine honorans that must be conceived and meditated upon him, 456 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: birthed in the body of Christ. So watch what happens here. 457 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: We'll go to a Daniel, and Daniel get go to Daniels. 458 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: You might have to search for a moment. You find 459 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: him after Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Anyway, So in Daniel, chapter eight, 460 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: verse sixteen, we have well, I Daniel, I'm going to 461 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: verse fifteen, was watching in a vision. He had a vision. 462 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: He fell into a vision, and he was trying to 463 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: understand it. Before me stood one who looked like a man, 464 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: and I called a man's voice, and I heard a 465 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: man's voice from the calling Gabriel tell this man the 466 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: meaning of the vision. As he came near the place 467 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: where I was standing. I was terrified and fell prostrate 468 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: son a man. He said to me, understand the vision 469 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: that concerns the time of the end. Immediately fell into 470 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: a deep sleep with my face to the ground. And 471 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: then he touched me and raised me up. The old 472 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: Pentecostal preacher told me was, see, you never notice how 473 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: most people fall backwards when they fall into the spirit 474 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: when you pray for the move kind of like they 475 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: fall back and glide back in the glide path of 476 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: someone to catch him. He said, you know when God 477 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: sometimes when God rarely shows up, your face plant and 478 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: your nose doesn't break either. Well, I want you to 479 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: think about that. If God's there, bam, you go down 480 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: on your face and you know your face doesn't get mulled. 481 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: While I was sleeping in a deep sleep with my 482 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: face to the ground, meaning he went out under the 483 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: power face first, he touched me and raised me up 484 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: at my feet and said, I'm going to tell you 485 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: what happened later in the time of wrath. And he 486 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: starts to reveal to him what's going to happen later. 487 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: What I want you to catch is the angel comes. 488 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: In that case, he comes looking almost like a man, 489 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: which was which why the Bible says you got to 490 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: be careful that you might be entertaining angels unaware they 491 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: could look ordinary. But now in the next iteration, go 492 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: to chapter nine, we start to get an unveiling of 493 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: what he looks like in the spirit realm. In nine 494 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: Chapter nine, Daniel is praying and confessing and standing in 495 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: the gap and wrestling for God to be to deliver 496 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: his people because he understood reading Jeremiah's prophecies. It's great 497 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: that a prophet was reading another prophet's prophecies. I think 498 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: it's so humble. He wasn't like, I'm Daniel, I got 499 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: hi have angels visit me. He goes, what did Jeremiah say? 500 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: He's written Jeremiah and Jeremiah the prophet said seventy years. 501 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: And Daniels looking at the clock and praying, oh my gosh, right, 502 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: the sixty ninth year, almost of the seventieth year, and 503 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: nothing's changing. He's about to praise Cyrus into office. He's 504 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: about to pray the end of the Babylonian dynasty. He's 505 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: about to pray a transition in politics. While he's in government, 506 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: he's interceding, and he's about to get angels involved with 507 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: casting principalities out because the time is up based on 508 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 1: a prophecy that he's dialing in on. He's in a 509 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: revelation war and he's pressing in. He's pressing into birth 510 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: the manifestation of the timing of God. Some of you 511 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: guys are hearing what I'm saying now. And while I 512 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: was speaking Verse twenty and praying and confessing my sin, 513 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: he identified with the failure of the church. He wasn't 514 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: like Rebulka the church. I'll not like them. He's saying, 515 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: it's me too, It's me too. We're all part of 516 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: this generation and the sin of my people. I'm making 517 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: request to God for his holy health. While I was 518 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in 519 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: an earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about 520 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: the time of the evening sacrifice, around the time when 521 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: Jesus is going to say, Father, into thy hands, I 522 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: commit my Spirit's interesting, These times are fascinating. Gabriel flies swiftly. 523 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: He instructed me and said, Danielle, I have now come 524 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: to give you insight and understanding. You understand something that 525 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: what was? It was? Daniel there praying for like twenty 526 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: one days or something. What was going on during that time? 527 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: He was in warfare for the Angel to break through, 528 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: to manifest the revelation. Remember, warfare is over revelation for 529 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: the abundance of revelation. An enemy was a spirit was 530 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: sent to afflict me. So as soon as you began 531 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: to pray, as soon as you began to pray, I 532 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: was sent with an answer. I've come to the other words, 533 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: the moment you started praying, I was sent. How many 534 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: of us have an answer the moment we pray, but 535 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: we stopped persisting in prayer because the answer didn't manifest. 536 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: How about persisting till the answer manifests. Then he says, 537 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: seventy sevens are decreating. He gives him a really powerful 538 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Daniel nine revelation about the next four hundred and twenty years, 539 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: right up to the Messiah showing up. Why am I 540 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: talking about this for a Christmas podcast? Because this same 541 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: Gabriel is the one sent to Zechariah and sent to Mary, 542 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: and the same Gabriel's running around today. Who knows who 543 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: he's being sent to belt your faith? Maybe he's gonna 544 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: come to you. Then Chapter ten says, in the third 545 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: year of Cyrus, king of Persia. He's succeeded. Now I'm 546 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: birthing a transition. The revelation got authorized through Daniel to manifest. Well. 547 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: In that third year, there was a revelation given to 548 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: Daniel once again. The understanding of the message to him 549 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: came in a vision. And here we go. There's the 550 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: three weeks morning. This is where we go with the 551 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: twenty one days, and I ate no choice food for 552 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: twenty one days, for three full weeks. We don't know 553 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: for chapter nine how long it was working on that one, 554 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: but this is twenty one days. In chapter ten, I 555 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: got that clear. Now, on the twenty fourth day of 556 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: the first month, I was standing at the bank, and 557 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: I looked up and there was a man dressed in 558 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,320 Speaker 1: linen with a belt of the finest gold. His body 559 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: was like crystal light, his face was like lightening, his 560 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: eyes like flaming torches, legs gleam, a burnished Bras's voice 561 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: sounded like an amplification of a multitude, And I, Daniel, 562 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: here's the fascinating thing. Daniel was the only one who 563 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: could see him. If he looked at his friends, they 564 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: didn't see anything, but they could sense it. They sensed it, 565 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: and the men that were with me didn't see it. 566 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: But such terror overwhelmed them. They fled and hid themselves. 567 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: See that's the fear of the Lord. That fear of 568 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: the Lord actually could be. Angels are in the room, 569 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: and if you could see it would petrify you. And 570 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: they hid themselves. So I was left alone gazing at 571 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: a great vision. I had no strength left. I turned 572 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: deathly pale. I was helpless. Then I heard him speaking, 573 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep. 574 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: Here he goes again, face plant, face forward, boom, but 575 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: his nose didn't break. He went down under the power. Daniel, 576 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: you're a highly esteem considered carefully the words of about 577 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: the speak to you. Stand up for I have now 578 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: been sent to you. Do not be afraid. So here's 579 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: the interesting thing. When angels minister to you, they speak 580 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: words that correspond to the virtue that comes into you. 581 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: So they're saying, in the spirit realm, don't be afraid. 582 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: Courage comes in. They're saying to you, you know, be strong, 583 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: and suddenly you can stand up. See they speak to 584 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: you and they touch you in the spirit realm, and 585 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily always hear what they say, but you 586 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: get the virtue, you get the transaction. 587 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 2: Does that make sense to you? 588 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: Your words were heard from the moment you started to pray. Gabriel, 589 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: the angelic realm heard what came out of your mouth, 590 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: and I have now come in response to what came 591 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Man, if I wasn't a word 592 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: of faith preacher, I would be word of faith preacher 593 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: just off of this salon, because it says, angels hear 594 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: the utterance it comes out of your mouth. But the 595 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: Principality of Persia resisted me for twenty one days. Then Michael, 596 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: one of the chief princes, came to help me, and 597 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: I was detained there with the King of Persia. In 598 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: other words, I've got revelation to give you that will 599 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: authorize you to manifest something in the earth. As a 600 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: prophet and intercessor, I'm bringing you a revelation. You're wrestling, 601 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: you're seeing a vision you know'tfully. But if once you 602 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: get it in your gut and I authorize it into 603 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: your spirit, you carry it in the earth round boom, 604 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: and you will break out a new era of kingdom, 605 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: advance through what gets put into you. I'm the revelatory angel. 606 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna explain it deposited in you, and then go 607 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: back and fight. Gabriel isn't just a revelatory angel. He's 608 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: a warring angel that brings a revelation. Now back, which 609 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: is nine minutes left. But it's okay. We had to 610 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: go back to Gabriel there because it's the same Gabriel 611 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: hundreds of years later that pops up in Luke chapter one. 612 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: So now Mary and Elizabeth, you know the story about 613 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: Mary and Elizabeth meeting each other and seeing each other, 614 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: and Mercedes was here earlier. She was here. Now I'd 615 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: have her tell you the revelation, but she says to me, 616 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: very interesting, Mary's six But we know that Elizabeth is 617 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: six months pregnant. We know that Mary now goes up 618 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: to her cousin, who's six months pregnant. Mary probably is, 619 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, just a couple of weeks after. I mean, 620 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: if she was told right away, go go immediately to 621 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: your cousin. So Jesus the baby in her, the Jesus 622 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: conceived in hers, probably no more than like twelve weeks old, 623 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: because it's like what the third month for Mary, So 624 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: that's twelve weeks and the baby leaps. When John the 625 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: Baptist hears Mary Jesus is already enough of a personality 626 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: form within twelve weeks that the that that he is 627 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: a person on the inside of her. Because the baby 628 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: leaps and recognizes the Messiah's in the room. I tell 629 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: us you twelve weeks, folks, right then you've got a 630 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: you got you've got a human You've got a human 631 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: life there. And that's according to Luke chapter one. So 632 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: this interesting verse here is verse eighty. The child grew 633 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: and became strong in spirit and lived in the desert 634 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: until they publicly appeared to Israel. That refers to the 635 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: song about uh John the Baptist. He grew in spirit 636 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,879 Speaker 1: and became strong. He grew Jesus. Here's an interesting verse. 637 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: And Jesus himself increased in wisdom and in stature, and 638 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: in favor with Jesus increased. John the Baptist grew. There's 639 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: a time when you hit a when you hit the 640 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: new level, when you hit the next level, you have 641 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: to grow into it. I remember hearing one guy Nevil Robertson, 642 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: who was a cousin of Kim Clement. He said that 643 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: when he first went into his church, it would see 644 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: it like fifteen hundred of two thousand. He said it 645 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: took him a while in his spirit man to grow 646 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: to the size where he could He felt he could 647 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: fill that room. It was a mysterious language he was using. 648 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: What he was saying is he had to mentally and 649 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: spiritually expand. When Samuel had his mother Hannah come visit 650 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: him every year, she brought the prophet a new mantle 651 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: up for seven years, and at the seventh year, I 652 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: believe it was around the seventh year he started to 653 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: hear God speaking to him. So we increase. If Jesus 654 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: could grow, you can grow. He didn't start off with 655 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: full stature. He started off small, and he grew until 656 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 1: he was fully matured and fully do perfect at every stage, 657 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: and yet growing to the next level. That's why I'm 658 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: talking about your next level warfare and what that might 659 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: mean to you now. In the Birth of Jesus, we 660 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: have the stories about the various teachings here are rather important. 661 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: I think that you know, people have talking about Jesus 662 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: being poor, birthed in poverty. That's a religious spirit. The 663 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: truth of the matter is Joseph could afford the end. 664 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: He could afford the place. The problem was everything was 665 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: book solid. You know, there was a census going on, 666 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: and so since there was a census, there was no 667 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: room in the inn. It wasn't lack of money, it 668 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: was lack of occupancy. So they ended up having to improvise. 669 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: But as soon as that manger scene, that lovely manger 670 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: scene with a child and swaddling clothes and the shepherd's coming. 671 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 1: As soon as they folks left town, Joseph rely said, 672 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: we're out of the bar and marry Boom into a house. 673 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: It says, not even an apartment, not even a rented room, 674 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: but a house. He could afford a house. They now they, 675 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: and now they have with the Kings visiting them at 676 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: the house, not the manger. I have a major scene 677 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: where they we eat three kings and they're all bringing 678 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: their gifts at the manger. But that's all kind of 679 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: like convoluted. It's the shepherds that came to the manger. 680 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: It was the Kings that came to the house. And 681 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: you know why, because if you have gold at Frankensis 682 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: and mirror in a barn with an open door, I 683 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to last very long in a 684 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: normal world. So it was in a house like keeping 685 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: a secret block the door here. We got it here, 686 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: and then the dream comes to Joseph. You know, hey, 687 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: scram get out of here, can I can I give 688 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: you my translation of it, Get out of here and 689 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: go to Egypt till we kill off Herod. In other words, 690 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: wait till Herod's dead. Their job. But it's a terrible prophecy. 691 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: When the prophecy of an angel says wait till the 692 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: guy's dead, then come back, that means their job is 693 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: to keep you protected until they've taken care of the 694 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: old man. So harod the old man. When he dies, 695 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: the word comes it's time go back, and they go 696 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: back to Nazareth. They go back, you know, back to 697 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: to to Nazareth. And of course that's what I talked 698 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 1: about in the earlier broadcast. Jesus was accused. The rumors 699 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: were that mom was he was born out of wedlock. 700 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: But that's you know, that's the scandal of the cross. 701 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: The scandal is that Jesus said he was the virgin 702 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: birth is probably you know, one of the I remember 703 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: James Kennedy said this. He said that one of the 704 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 1: greatest arguments for the divinity of Christ is the fact 705 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 1: that at no point did Mary ever pull him aside 706 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: and say, son, I need to talk to you about this. 707 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,919 Speaker 1: Meaning he was willing to go to his death under 708 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: the assumption that he was the supernatural prophetic fulfillment of 709 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: the Messianic hope and that God was his father. And 710 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: if he wasn't conceived supernaturally, Mary would have been the 711 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: one to have told him, you're not actually supernaturally born. 712 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: You were born by a man. But she never told 713 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: him that. You know why, because two people knew on 714 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: planet Earth that he was supernaturally birthed by a virgin 715 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 1: Mary and him. Everyone else had to take it by faith. 716 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: Those two cats knew exactly what the story was, and 717 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 1: she never bothered to change that story in his mind 718 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: because because it was truth. Now, this, this is an 719 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: interesting verse I want you to meditate upon in our 720 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 1: last three minutes, Simeon. And this is what I call 721 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: the magoo anointing. I mean it is not dignified, but 722 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: I mean I walk with it. I pray in tongues, 723 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: I walk around sometimes. I was in Washington last week. 724 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,440 Speaker 1: I was supposed to meet with a congressman. He was 725 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: in a session. He couldn't come out. I said, Okay, 726 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: I had to go. I had to go home. Frankly, 727 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: it was a long day. I had a long night 728 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,840 Speaker 1: ahead of me. I was there ten hours. I wanted 729 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: to take a nap. I want to go take a 730 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 1: shoos for ten minutes. Fifteen minutes at the hotel, I'm 731 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 1: trying to sneak out. I run into Matthew Faraci. He 732 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: is a Jewish guy. He's a great, great, great friend 733 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: of mine. He pulls me. I'm trying to escape. Out 734 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: of all the rooms I can go through, out of 735 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: all the exits I can get out of. I run 736 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: into him. He says, quick, we got to go pray 737 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: for a congressman. I go, man, I just you know 738 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: I don't need to do. He goes, I need you 739 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: to go pray with the congressman. He drags me upstairs. 740 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: I go up to a congressman who is about to 741 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: vote on an issue with Syria. And I walk in 742 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: the room and I think this is so awkward. I 743 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: have to explain he wants me to pray for you. 744 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 1: But the guy says, Lance, I know who you are. 745 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: The guy knew who I was, and he says, I 746 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: know exactly who you are, he said, And I know 747 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: Dutch sheets and I know Chuck Pearson. I thought, oh 748 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: my god, this is a divine appointment. He tells me 749 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:45,320 Speaker 1: the situation. Syria has been persecuting Christians and killing Israeli drews, 750 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,240 Speaker 1: and he doesn't like the fact that he's being pressured 751 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 1: to sign off on legislation that will give them diplomatic 752 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,359 Speaker 1: status when they're actually his information is that they're persecuting, 753 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,240 Speaker 1: you know. A day later after that, it was revealed 754 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: that the Syria attacked and to Americans. Trump was furious. 755 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: Of course, Boon was Ramification, but he was onto something. 756 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,479 Speaker 1: So I ministered to him. I'll tell him what I said, 757 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: won't tell you who he is, but I pray for him. 758 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,799 Speaker 1: I ministered to him, pray for him, and prophetically gave 759 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: him some advice that I think was good. And then 760 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 1: I left. But the point is I wandered right into 761 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: that divine appointment. I thought, how's it possible the place 762 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 1: I was supposed to go, the guy's a no show, 763 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: and the guy that I didn't plan on seeing I 764 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: ended up with. And so here's what happens in the Bible. 765 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 1: On the eighth Day when it was time to circumcise him. 766 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: At this time, this man Simeon, who was righteous and devout, 767 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: was waiting for the consulage verse twenty five. It's been 768 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,800 Speaker 1: revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he wouldn't 769 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: die till he actually saw the Lord's Christ move by 770 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: the spirit. He went into the temple courts move by 771 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: the spirit. He was brought right before Jesus move by 772 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: the spirit. The Lord says, that's him, and Simeon takes 773 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: him up in his arms and blesses God, prophesies and 774 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: praise and says, Lord, now let your servant depart in peace, 775 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,760 Speaker 1: because you've actually fulfilled your promise. You've brought You've actually 776 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: brought me into contact with the Messiah. I'm holding him 777 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: in my arms right now. And the child's father and 778 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: mother marvel. But Simeon was led and a woman named 779 00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: Anna came up also by the spirit, Holy Spirit. Let 780 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 1: I call it the mister Magoo, because a guy walked 781 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: around blind and he just this crazy stuff happened around him, 782 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: and God delivered him. That's I pray that for you, 783 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: because then God gets all the glory and you feel 784 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: at times limited, but God gets the glory, see you 785 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:51,839 Speaker 1: again on the next broadcast.
