00:08 ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ATTRACTIONS 00:10 IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA 00:12 IS THE ICONIC GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. 00:15 DURING ITS CONSTRUCTION, THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 00:18 HAD ONE OF THE BEST SAFETY CONSTRUCTION RECORDS 00:20 OF ANY PROJECT DURING THAT TIME. 00:23 BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME RISKS, 00:25 THE CHIEF ENGINEER WAS ABSOLUTELY ADAMANT 00:27 ABOUT THEIR USING THE MOST RIGOROUS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 00:30 THAT HAD EVER BEEN USED IN BRIDGE BUILDING. 00:33 BUT THE MOST CONSPICUOUS SAFETY MEASURE 00:35 WAS A GIGANTIC NET SUSPENDED FROM END-TO-END 00:39 UNDER THE BRIDGE ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN THE BRIDGE AND THE BAY. 00:42 DURING CONSTRUCTION, 00:43 THIS NET SAVED THE LIVES OF 19 MEN 00:46 WHO WERE LATER KNOWN AS THE HALF WAY TO HELL CLUB. 00:49 WITH THE NET IN PLACE, 00:51 THESE MEN WERE MUCH MORE COURAGEOUS 00:52 AND BRAVE DURING CONSTRUCTION 00:54 BECAUSE THEY KNEW THERE WAS A MECHANISM TO PROTECT THEM 00:56 IF THEY SHOULD FALL. 00:58 FRIENDS, AS CHRISTIANS WE GET TO PARTICIPATE WITH JESUS 01:02 IN BUILDING A BRIDGE 01:04 THAT WILL CONNECT HEAVEN AND EARTH. 01:05 THERE ARE DANGERS ALONG THE WAY, 01:07 BUT JESUS HAS PROMISED TO PROTECT US, 01:10 AND WE DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID. 01:12 SO JOIN ME NOW AS WE DISCOVER THE FASCINATING BIBLE FACTS 01:16 ABOUT THE HERO OF REVELATION. 01:22 DURING THE CIVIL WAR, THERE WAS THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL 01:25 THAT REALLY SURPRISED EVERYBODY. 01:27 HIS NAME WAS JOSHUA LAWRENCE CHAMBERLAIN. 01:30 HE WAS ACTUALLY FROM MAINE. 01:32 HE WAS A SCHOOLTEACHER, ENGLISH MAJOR, 01:34 ACTUALLY MAJORED IN RHETORIC AND DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, 01:37 SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING OF A BOOKWORM. 01:39 BUT HE HAD VERY STRONG CONVICTIONS ABOUT SLAVERY. 01:43 AND WHEN, FINALLY, THE CIVIL WAR BROKE OUT, 01:47 EVEN THOUGH HIS FAMILY WAS VERY RELIGIOUS 01:49 AND HE, MAYBE, WAS A PACIFIST BY NATURE, 01:51 HE THOUGHT THE CAUSE DESERVES 01:54 THAT WE LAY OUR LIVES DOWN FOR THIS, 01:56 AND HE JOINED THE FORCES. 01:58 BECAUSE OF HIS EDUCATION THEY QUICKLY PROMOTED HIM. 02:01 AND THE NEXT THING HE KNEW, 02:02 HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. 02:05 SOME OF THE SOLDIERS UNDER HIM WERE A LITTLE WORRIED. 02:08 THEY SAID, "THIS GUY IS ALWAYS READING. 02:09 HE'S A BOOKWORM, HE'S A LAMB." 02:12 AND HE SEEMS SO POLITE AND HE SEEMS SO ARTICULATE, 02:14 THEY THOUGHT, "WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO ON THE BATTLEFIELD?" 02:17 WELL, IT TURNED OUT, IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST 02:19 AND THE BLOODIEST BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR, 02:21 THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, 02:24 50,000 PEOPLE DIED IN ONE DAY. 02:28 IT'S BEEN THE BLOODIEST BATTLE IN AMERICAN HISTORY, 02:30 IN ANY OF OUR WARS. 02:33 THE SOUTH WAS TRYING TO TAKE THIS HILL, 02:36 AND THEY WERE TRYING TO FLANK AROUND THE TROOPS OF THE NORTH, 02:39 AND CHAMBERLAIN KNEW 02:41 THAT HE NEEDED TO HOLD THAT HILL AT ALL COST 02:44 AND THEY 02:45 FOR THREE DAYS, THE BATTLE RAGED, 02:47 AND THE SOUTH CONTINUED TO THROW SOLDIERS AT THAT HILL 02:50 TRYING TO GET BEHIND THE TROOPS AND TO DEFEAT THEM. 02:55 AND THEY FOUGHT THE GROUP FROM MAINE THAT HE WAS OVER, 02:58 THEY FOUGHT UNTIL THEY RAN OUT OF AMMUNITION. 03:00 AND FINALLY, HE TOLD THEM, "FIX YOUR BAYONETS AND CHARGE." 03:04 WHEN THEY WERE COMING UP THE HILL AFTER THEM, 03:07 HE TOLD HIS MEN TO CHARGE BACK AT THEM 03:09 WITH JUST BAYONETS. 03:11 AND IT SO TERRIFIED THE SOUTHERNERS 03:14 THAT THEY TURNED AND THEY RAN. 03:16 THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF BULLETS. 03:19 THEY LATER CALLED HIM, INSTEAD OF THE LAMB, 03:21 THEY CALLED HIM THE LION OF LITTLE ROUND TOP. 03:24 LITTLE ROUND TOP WAS THE HILL THAT THEY WERE DEFENDING. 03:27 WELL, YOU KNOW, JESUS, WHEN HE COMES AGAIN, 03:29 HE'S COMING LIKE A LION. 03:30 WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME, HE CAME LIKE A LAMB. 03:33 BUT HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE ENTIRE BIBLE. 03:37 AND OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT, 03:39 DEALING WITH THE HERO OF REVELATION, 03:42 IS PART OF OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER SERIES. 03:45 I'VE GOT A LOT OF MATERIAL TO COVER. 03:47 YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A PEN OR PENCIL HANDY 03:49 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME NOTES. 03:50 WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT PROPHECIES IN REVELATION, 03:54 IN DANIEL, AND ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, 03:57 THAT SHOW US WHO JESUS IS, 04:00 SO WE CAN KNOW THAT HE IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS. 04:03 IF YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9. 04:06 DANIEL IS PRAYING. 04:08 GOD'S PEOPLE ARE CAPTIVES IN BABYLON. 04:11 HE'S SAYING, "WE'VE BEEN HERE 70 YEARS." 04:14 DANIEL IS READING THE PROPHECY OF JEREMIAH 04:16 THAT SAID AFTER 70 YEARS THEY WOULD GO HOME. 04:18 SO EVEN DANIEL READ THE PROPHETS. 04:20 AND HE'S PRAYING SAYING, 04:21 "LORD, WE'VE BEEN HERE 70 YEARS. 04:22 HOW LONG? 04:23 HOW LONG WILL YOU TOLERATE YOUR PEOPLE? 04:25 HOW LONG TILL THE SAVIOR THE MESSIAH COMES?" 04:27 WHILE DANIEL IS PRAYING, THE ANGEL GABRIEL COMES, 04:31 SAME ONE THAT APPEARS TO MARY, 04:33 AND HE HASN'T AGED A BIT WHEN HE APPEARS TO MARY 04:34 AT 500 YEARS LATER. 04:37 AND HE GIVES THIS PROPHECY, 04:40 "70 WEEKS ARE DETERMINED FOR YOUR PEOPLE..." 04:43 I'M IN DANIEL 9:24, 04:46 "FOR THEIR HOLY CITY, TO FINISH TRANSGRESSION, 04:50 TO MAKE AN END OF SINS, 04:52 TO MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY, 04:54 TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, 04:56 TO SEAL UP THE VISION AND THE PROPHECY..." 05:00 TALKING ABOUT THE VISIONS 05:01 ABOUT THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH. 05:02 "AND ANOINT THE MOST HOLY." 05:05 VERY CLEAR THAT THIS IS A PROPHECY 05:07 THAT TALKED ABOUT THE MOST HOLY BEING ANOINTED, 05:10 70 WEEKS. 05:12 SO WHAT DOES THE 70 WEEKS REPRESENT? 05:17 NOW, IN THE BIBLE, A DAY EQUALS A YEAR. 05:20 FIRST LET'S TALK ABOUT THE STARTING POINT HERE. 05:23 IT TELLS US THAT IT SAYS, 05:24 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT..." 05:26 IF YOU READ IN DANIEL 9:25, 05:28 WHAT'S THE STARTING POINT FOR THIS PROPHECY? 05:30 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMANDMENT 05:32 TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM." 05:35 JERUSALEM HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR. 05:38 THE PERSIAN KING, ARTAXERXES, ISSUED A DECREE. 05:42 YOU CAN FIND THAT IN YOUR BIBLE IN EZRA CHAPTER 7. 05:46 THAT THEY COULD GO BACK 05:47 AND HE ALSO HELPED SUBSIDIZE THEIR MISSION 05:49 TO REBUILD THE CITY, TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE. 05:52 AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WOULD BE 05:53 THE STARTING POINT OF THIS 70 WEEK PROPHECY. 05:57 "FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND 05:59 TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM 06:00 UNTO THE MESSIAH THE PRINCE, THERE'LL BE SEVEN WEEKS..." 06:03 NOW HE BREAKS UP THAT 70 WEEKS INTO THREE PARTS: 06:06 THERE'LL BE SEVEN WEEKS, AND 62 WEEKS, 06:08 THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FINAL WEEK. 06:10 OKAY? 06:11 AND SO SEVEN WEEKS WAS THE TIME IT TOOK THEM 06:13 TO REBUILD THE WALLS AND THE STREETS 06:15 AND TROUBLOUS TIMES IN THE TEMPLE. 06:17 THEN THERE WERE 62 MORE WEEKS, 06:20 THE MOST HOLY WOULD BE ANOINTED. 06:21 THEN DURING THAT LAST WEEK, 06:23 HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE, 06:26 BUT IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST WEEK 06:28 HE'D MAKE THE SACRIFICE CEASE. 06:29 NOW I'VE SAID IT, I'M GOING TO SAY IT SEVERAL TIMES 06:31 BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION, 06:34 AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS CLEAR IN YOUR MIND. 06:36 FIRST OF ALL, WHEN YOU'RE DEALING 06:37 WITH A LARGE BIBLE TIME PROPHECY LIKE THIS, 06:41 THERE'S A PRETTY SAFE PRINCIPLE 06:43 THAT YOU APPLY A DAY FOR A YEAR. 06:46 AND THERE'S THREE REFERENCES THERE, 06:48 YOU CAN SEE THAT SUPPORT THAT PRINCIPLE. 06:50 NOW I'M GOING TO PUT A CHART UP ON THE SCREEN 06:52 AND EXPLAIN THIS TIME PROPHECY. 06:55 YOU SEE THE DECREE IS GIVEN 457 B.C. 06:58 ARTAXERXES YOU CAN FIND IT IN EZRA 7. 07:00 IT'S A PRETTY WELL ACCEPTED DATE 07:03 IN ANCIENT HISTORY. 07:04 AND SO, 483 YEARS AFTER THE COMMAND 07:09 IS WHEN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THE MESSIAH ANOINTED. 07:11 HE BEGINS HIS MINISTRY. 07:12 HE THEN CONFIRMS THE COVENANT WITH GOD'S PEOPLE 07:15 FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. 07:17 IN THE MIDST OF THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS 07:18 HE MAKES THE SACRIFICE CEASE. 07:20 STAY WITH ME. 07:22 ALL RIGHT, JESUS WAS BAPTIZED WHEN? 07:25 YOU CAN READ IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 1:29. 07:27 HE CAME TO JOHN THE BAPTIST, AND IT SAYS, 07:31 "JOHN SAW JESUS COMING TO HIM AND SAID, 07:33 'BEHOLD! THE LAMB OF GOD 07:35 THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!'" 07:37 YOU KNOW, IF YOU READ IN LUKE, 07:38 IT TELLS US THAT THE YEAR 07:39 THAT JOHN WAS PREACHING WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, 07:42 IT TALKS ABOUT PONTIUS PILATE BEING IN POWER. 07:44 YOU'VE GOT TIBERIUS CAESAR, YOU'VE GOT HEROD. 07:48 THERE IS ONLY ONE YEAR IN HISTORY 07:49 WHEN THESE THREE CHARACTERS, THEIR REIGNS OVERLAPPED 07:53 AND IT WAS 27 A.D. 07:55 27 A.D. 07:56 IS EXACTLY 483 YEARS AFTER 08:00 KING ARTAXERXES' DECREE IN 457. 08:03 THAT'S WHEN THE MESSIAH WAS BAPTIZED. 08:05 WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS? 08:07 YOU CAN READ IN ACTS 10:38 WHERE PETER SAID, 08:11 "GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH 08:13 WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT..." 08:15 HE WAS THE ANOINTED, THE CHRIST. 08:17 "AND WITH POWER, WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD 08:20 AND HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL, 08:23 FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM." 08:25 AND SO JESUS WAS ANOINTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 08:29 EXACTLY 483 YEARS, 08:31 BUT NOW YOU'VE GOT ONE WEEK LEFT 08:33 STILL TO GET TO 490, RIGHT? 08:35 NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED 08:37 DURING THE MINISTRY OF JESUS. 08:38 WE'RE PARKING THE PROPHECY OF DANIEL. 08:40 SO YOU ALL WITH ME? WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO IT. 08:43 IT SAID THAT HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT DURING THIS WEEK. 08:46 WHAT DID JESUS DO DURING THAT TIME? 08:49 LET'S LOOK AT THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST 08:51 AND ARE THERE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST? 08:54 SO I'M PUTTING LAYERS IN HERE. PROPHECIES IN PROPHECIES. 08:58 ISAIAH 61:1, FIRST SERMON JESUS PREACHED 09:01 HE QUOTES FROM THIS IN NAZARETH, 09:02 HIS HOME CHURCH. 09:03 HE SAID, "THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS UPON ME 09:06 BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME 09:09 TO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR." 09:11 CHRIST IS THE ANOINTED. 09:12 HE'S TELLING PEOPLE, "I AM THE ANOINTED." 09:15 "HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED..." 09:17 DID JESUS DO THAT? 09:20 "TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES", 09:22 PEOPLE CAPTIVE BY THE DEVIL AND SIN. 09:24 "AND THE OPENING OF PRISON TO THOSE WHO ARE BOUND." 09:26 HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVE FREE 09:29 AND TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES 09:31 AND THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD. 09:33 AND PEOPLE THAT CAME TO HEAR JESUS PREACH, 09:36 YOU KNOW, SPIES WERE SENT TO ARREST HIM 09:37 AND THEY CAME BACK 09:39 AND THE LEADER SAID, "WHERE IS HE? 09:40 WE TOLD YOU TO ARREST HIM." YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR ANSWER WAS? 09:42 "NEVER MAN SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN." 09:47 AND I CAN TESTIFY TO YOU, THAT WAS MY IMPRESSION 09:50 BECAUSE I GREW UP BELIEVING THAT JESUS WAS... 09:54 IN OUR HOME, MY MOM DIDN'T SAY VERY NICE THINGS ABOUT JESUS. 09:58 CAME, LIKE I SAID, FROM A JEWISH BACKGROUND, 10:00 AND WE THOUGHT CHRISTIANS WERE THE PROBLEM. 10:03 MY JEWISH RELATIVES, 10:04 THEY'D TELL ME "OH, YEAH, JESUS WAS... 10:05 HE WAS A GOOD MAN. HE WAS A TEACHER." 10:08 AND I WOULD ASK MY GRANDFATHER, 10:09 I'D SAY, "NOW YOU REALIZE 10:10 THAT HE SAID HE WAS THE MESSIAH. 10:11 DO YOU THINK HE TOLD THE TRUTH?" 10:15 THEY SAID, "OH, YEAH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN. 10:16 HE WAS A TEACHER. HE'S A PROPHET." 10:18 "WELL, HE SAID HE WAS THE SON OF GOD. 10:21 HE SAID HE WAS THE ONLY ONE. HE'S THE ONLY DOOR." 10:24 AND SO THEY USED TO KIND OF STUMBLE OVER THAT. 10:26 SO I WAS VERY ANTAGONISTIC ABOUT JESUS. 10:28 WHEN I FINALLY STARTED READING THE BIBLE, 10:31 SO I COULD ARGUE WITH CHRISTIANS. 10:33 AND I'D READ WHERE IT SAYS, 10:35 "HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE." 10:36 I HAD HEARD THAT EXPRESSION ALL MY LIFE. 10:38 I SAID, "OH, JESUS SAID THAT." 10:41 "TURN THE OTHER CHEEK." OH, JESUS SAID THAT. 10:45 "GO THE SECOND MILE." 10:47 AND ALL OF THESE THINGS 10:48 I WAS READING IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, 10:50 I'M GOING, "I'VE BEEN HEARING THESE THINGS ALL MY LIFE. 10:51 I HAD NO IDEA THAT JESUS SAID THEM." 10:54 I SAID, "WOW, HE WAS REALLY SMART." 10:57 I MEAN, HE JUST SAID, 10:58 HE'S THE MOST QUOTED PERSON IN HISTORY. 11:00 NOBODY EVER SPOKE LIKE THIS MAN SPOKE. 11:03 NOW YOU LOOK AT THE PROPHECIES 11:05 AND THE EVENTS SURROUNDING THE CROSS. 11:08 ARE THERE SOME OF THOSE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? 11:10 FOR ONE THING, JUST THE WEEK BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED, 11:13 THEY CALL IT THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY. 11:15 "REJOICE GREATLY, O DAUGHTER..." 11:16 BY THE WAY, THIS IS ZECHARIAH 9:9, 11:19 "REJOICE GREATLY, O DAUGHTER OF ZION! 11:21 SHOUT, DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM! 11:22 BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU. 11:25 HE IS JUST AND HAVING SALVATION, LOWLY 11:28 AND RIDING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY." 11:32 AND THEN YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT 11:33 AND THEN YOU SEE THE STORY WHERE JESUS RODE INTO JERUSALEM 11:36 THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE ON A DONKEY. 11:39 JUSTICE HAD BEEN FORETOLD WITH ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICING. 11:43 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST 11:44 TODAY'S LIFE CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 11:47 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 11:49 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 11:51 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 11:53 TO GET YOUR COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 11:55 SIMPLY CALL US AND ASK FOR THE OFFER NUMBER 11:57 SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN, 11:59 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS AND DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY 12:03 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 12:05 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 12:07 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER 12:08 FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH AMAZING FACTS 12:11 WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT. 12:13 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 12:17 ARE THERE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE BETRAYAL OF JESUS? 12:20 YES, QUITE A FEW. 12:22 MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ IN PSALMS, 12:23 A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN, 12:26 KING DAVID WROTE, "EVEN MY OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND 12:29 IN WHOM I TRUSTED, WHO ATE MY BREAD, 12:32 HE HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME." 12:35 AFTER THEY ATE BREAD TOGETHER, 12:37 JUDAS WENT OUT AND HE BETRAYED HIM. 12:40 AND THEN, AGAIN, YOU READ IN ZECHARIAH, 12:41 IT SAYS, AND THIS IS 11, VERSE 12, 12:44 "THEN I SAID TO THEM, 'IF IT IS AGREEABLE TO YOU, 12:46 GIVE ME MY WAGES, AND, IF NOT, REFRAIN.' 12:50 SO THEY WEIGHED OUT FOR MY WAGES 12:52 THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.'" 12:55 HOW MUCH WAS JESUS SOLD FOR? 12:57 THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, EXACTLY. 12:59 AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY, "AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, 13:02 'THROW IT TO THE POTTER,' 13:04 THAT PRINCELY PRICE THAT THEY SET UPON ME. 13:06 SO THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER 13:08 AND THEY THREW THEM INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, 13:11 TO THE POTTER." 13:12 YOU KNOW WHAT JUDAS DID WITH THE MONEY 13:13 WHEN HE WAS OVERCOME WITH GUILT? 13:14 HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, 13:16 HE THREW THE SILVER DOWN. 13:17 THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY 13:19 BECAUSE IT WAS BLOOD MONEY. 13:20 THEY USED IT TO BUY A POTTER'S FIELD 13:22 TO BURY STRANGERS IN. 13:24 WHAT PRECISE DETAILS WERE FORETOLD 13:27 HUNDREDS OF YEARS EARLIER, THOUSAND YEARS EARLIER. 13:30 NO, THIS ONE HUNDREDS OF YEARS EARLIER 13:32 REGARDING THE BETRAYAL OF CHRIST. 13:34 AMEN. 13:35 WHAT ABOUT THE MANNER OF HIS DEATH? 13:37 WAS THAT FORETOLD? 13:39 YOU REALIZE WHEN SOME OF THESE PROPHECIES WERE WRITTEN, 13:41 THEY DIDN'T PRACTICE CRUCIFIXION. 13:43 BUT YOU LOOK IN PSALM 22. 13:45 NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FIRST WORDS ARE 13:46 IN PSALM 22? 13:48 "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 13:51 DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR? 13:53 THAT'S WHAT JESUS UTTERED FROM THE CROSS. 13:54 PEOPLE THINK, "DID HE SAY THAT BECAUSE HE WAS DISCOURAGED?" 13:57 NO, JESUS SAID THAT BECAUSE LATER IN THAT PSALM 14:00 YOU FIND THESE OTHER PREDICTIONS. 14:02 READ IN PSALM 22:16, 14:05 "FOR DOGS HAVE SURROUNDED ME, 14:07 THE CONGREGATION OF THE WICKED HAS ENCLOSED ME. 14:09 THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY FEET..." 14:13 DESCRIBING CRUCIFIXION. 14:14 IT'S IN THAT SAME PSALM, THAT MESSIANIC PASSOVER PSALM 14:19 WHERE HE SAYS, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" 14:22 CHRIST HAD NOT LOST COURAGE, 14:23 HE WAS DIRECTING THEM TO THE PSALM 14:25 THAT SHOWED THE VERY THING THAT WAS HAPPENING THAT DAY 14:27 AS HE HUNG UP ON THE CROSS. 14:29 IT SAYS, "THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS AMONG THEM, 14:32 AND THEY CAST LOTS FOR MY CLOTHING." 14:34 WHAT A PRECISE DETAIL. 14:36 AND THEN YOU READ, OF COURSE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 14:38 THERE, MARK 15:24 AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, 14:42 "WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED HIM, THEY DIVIDED HIS GARMENTS, 14:44 CASTING LOTS FOR THEM 14:46 TO DETERMINE WHAT EVERY MAN SHOULD TAKE." 14:49 GAMBLING THERE AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. 14:52 BUT WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS, 14:54 IT ALSO SAYS NONE OF HIS BONES WOULD BE BROKEN 14:56 IN THAT PROPHECY IN PSALM 22. 14:58 IT SAYS, "WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS 15:00 AFTER BREAKING THE BONES OF THE THIEF 15:01 ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT, 15:03 THEY SAW HE WAS ALREADY DEAD 15:04 AND THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS LEGS." 15:06 NOTICE JOHN GOES ON. 15:07 JOHN QUOTES FROM THE PROPHECY, 15:09 "BUT ONE OF THE SOLDIERS PIERCED HIS SIDE WITH A SPEAR, 15:12 AND IMMEDIATELY BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT." 15:14 TALKS ABOUT CHRIST, THE MESSIAH BEING PIERCED. 15:17 BLOOD AND WATER CAME OUT 15:18 BUT THEY DID NOT BREAK HIS BONES. 15:20 IT SAYS, "FOR THESE THINGS WERE DONE 15:21 THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE FULFILLED, 15:24 'NOT ONE OF HIS BONES WOULD BE BROKEN.'" 15:26 AND AGAIN ANOTHER SCRIPTURE SAYS, 15:27 "THEY LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY HAD PIERCED." 15:30 QUOTING AGAIN THAT SCRIPTURE, JESUS WAS PIERCED, 15:32 HIS BONES WERE NOT BROKEN, HE WAS CRUCIFIED, 15:34 THEY GAMBLED FOR HIS CLOTHING. 15:36 WAS HE THE ONE? 15:38 DO THE PROPHECIES ALL TALK ABOUT JESUS? 15:40 NOW I TOLD YOU, DON'T FORGET ABOUT DANIEL. 15:43 WE'RE GOING BACK NOW TO DANIEL CHAPTER 9. 15:46 WE GOT ONE WEEK TO GO. 15:48 AND IT SAYS, "AFTER THE SIXTY-TWO WEEKS 15:51 MESSIAH WILL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF." 15:55 WAS JESUS CUT OFF? YES. 15:57 AND WHEN A PERSON DIES OF OLD AGE, 15:59 THAT'S NOT BEING CUT OFF. 16:00 BUT WHEN THEY'RE 30 YEARS OLD, 16:03 33 AND A HALF, HE DIED IN HIS PRIME. 16:08 HE WAS CUT OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING. 16:09 BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF, FOR WHO? 16:12 FOR US. FOR ME, FOR YOU. 16:14 HE DIED FOR YOU AS THOUGH YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE 16:16 WHO HAD EVER SINNED. 16:17 HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH. 16:19 AND THEN IT SAID, "HE WOULD CONFIRM THE COVENANT 16:21 WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK." 16:23 SO THAT LAST SEVEN YEARS, FROM HIS BAPTISM 16:26 UNTIL SEVEN YEARS LATER, 16:29 HE IS CONFIRMING THE COVENANT WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE. 16:32 THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN PERSON, 16:35 THREE AND A HALF YEARS THROUGH THE APOSTLES, 16:38 UNTIL, FINALLY THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR, 16:41 WHICH IS STEPHEN, 16:43 HE IS TRIED BY THE JEWISH SUPREME COURT 16:44 FOR HIS FAITH. 16:46 THEY DO THE SAME THING TO HIM THEY DID TO JESUS. 16:47 THEY BRING HIM OUT OF THE CITY. 16:49 HE'S FALSELY ACCUSED AND THEN HE IS EXECUTED 16:53 AND HE PRAYS FOR THE FORGIVENESS 16:54 OF THOSE WHO KILL HIM, THE SAME THING JESUS DID. 16:57 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HE CAUSES, 16:59 HE MAKES THE OFFERING AND THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE. 17:02 THREE AND A HALF YEARS AFTER JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, 17:05 WHEN HE DIES ON THE CROSS, WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TEMPLE? 17:08 YOU READ IN MATTHEW 27:51, 17:11 "BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO 17:14 FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND THE EARTH QUAKED, 17:16 AND THE ROCKS WERE SPLIT..." 17:18 AND THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE IS TORN, 17:21 SHOWING THAT THE PURPOSE 17:22 FOR THAT SANCTUARY WAS COMPLETE. 17:26 JESUS SAID, "DESTROY THIS TEMPLE MADE WITH HANDS 17:28 AND IN THREE DAYS I WILL MAKE ONE WITHOUT HANDS." 17:30 HE SPOKE OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH. 17:33 TWO THINGS WERE TORN, THE TEMPLE WAS TORN 17:35 AND THE HIGH PRIEST TORE HIS GARMENTS. 17:37 WE NOW HAVE A NEW PRIESTHOOD. 17:39 IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST, 17:41 THEN YOU ARE PART OF THAT ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. AMEN? 17:44 AND WE ALSO HAVE A NEW TEMPLE. 17:45 IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST, 17:46 YOU ARE A LIVING STONE IN THAT BUILDING. 17:48 THAT'S WHAT PAUL AND PETER SAY. WE ARE THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD. 17:51 CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING, CHURCH IS THE PEOPLE. 17:54 NOW, GO BACK, I WANT YOU TO SEE THE CHART AGAIN. 17:57 AND YOU NOTICE HERE, WE GOT FROM THE DECREE 18:00 UNTIL THE 69 WEEKS ARE COMPLETE, 18:04 YOU'VE GOT 483 YEARS AND 69 WEEKS. 18:08 FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE DAYS 18:09 AND A DAY IS A YEAR. 18:10 CHRIST IS BAPTIZED 27 A.D. 18:13 HE CONFIRMS A COVENANT WITH GOD'S PEOPLE 18:15 FOR ANOTHER WEEK 18:16 BEFORE THE GOSPEL GOES TO THE GENTILES. 18:19 THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN PERSON, 18:21 THEN HE DIES AND HE CAUSES THE SACRIFICE TO CEASE. 18:25 THEN HE DOES ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF YEARS 18:26 THROUGH THOSE THAT HEARD HIM. 18:28 AND YOU'LL FIND THIS IS IN HEBREWS 2:3 18:33 WHERE IT SAYS THAT, 18:34 "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE..." NOTICE THIS. 18:36 "HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE 18:37 IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION, 18:40 WHICH AT THE FIRST BEGAN TO BE SPOKEN BY THE LORD..." 18:44 27 A.D. 18:45 FROM HIS BAPTISM BEGAN TO PREACH 18:47 FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS UNTIL HE WAS EXECUTED. 18:50 "AND WAS CONFIRMED TO US BY THOSE THAT HEARD HIM," 18:54 FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 18:55 DO YOU KNOW THE JEWS DID NOT GO WHEN CHRIST ROSE? 18:57 THEY DID NOT GO TO THE WORLD YET. 19:00 HE SAID, "FIRST BEGIN IN JERUSALEM AND JUDEA." 19:04 HE SAYS, "DO NOT GO, 19:05 BUT FIRST TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL." 19:08 THE APOSTLES' MINISTRY 19:09 FOR THE FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS 19:11 WAS EXCLUSIVELY TO THE JEWISH NATION. 19:13 AT PENTECOST, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS POURED OUT, 19:16 IT SAYS THERE WERE DEVOUT JEWS 19:17 DWELLING IN JERUSALEM FROM EVERY NATION. 19:19 THEY PREACHED TO JEWS. 19:21 IN ACTS CHAPTER 3, ACTS CHAPTER 5, 19:23 THEY'RE ALL JEWS BEING BAPTIZED. 19:24 IT WASN'T UNTIL STEPHEN WAS STONED, 19:26 IT SAYS, "A GREAT PERSECUTION AROSE 19:29 AND THE GOSPEL WENT EVERYWHERE." 19:31 THEN PAUL IS CONVERTED, FOLLOWING THAT, 19:34 IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. 19:35 PETER THEN GOES TO CORNELIUS 19:36 AND STARTS TO PREACH TO THE GENTILES 19:39 WHO HE HAD BEEN CALLING UNCLEAN. 19:40 FINALLY THE GOSPEL BEGAN TO GO TO EVERYONE. 19:43 THAT WAS EXACTLY 490 YEARS 19:46 AFTER, AS DANIEL HAD SAID THAT PROPHECY. 19:50 YOU'VE GOT THE DECREE, 457, 19:52 THE BAPTISM OF JESUS MARKS THE LAST WEEK 19:55 OF THAT PROPHECY, 19:56 FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS HE CONFIRMS THE COVENANT. 19:59 HE THEN CAUSES THE SACRIFICE 20:01 TO CEASE BY HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS. 20:03 THEN HE SAYS TO THE DISCIPLES, "AS THE FATHER SENT ME, 20:06 NOW YOU GO CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH THE LOST SHEEP 20:08 FOR ANOTHER THREE AND A HALF YEARS. 20:10 STEPHEN IS STONED. 20:11 AND HE SAYS, "NOW THE GOSPEL GOES 20:13 TO THE GENTILES AND EVERYBODY, WHOSOEVER WILL. 20:16 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD SAID WOULD HAPPEN. 20:19 THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH 20:21 THAT DANIEL FORETOLD. 20:22 AND I'VE EVEN GOT A QUOTE HERE FROM JOSEPHUS, 20:25 THE JEWISH HISTORIAN, 20:26 THAT TO ME IT JUST BLOWS ME AWAY. 20:28 JOSEPHUS, FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS 20:29 WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF THE APOSTLES 20:33 AND HE WROTE THIS FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST. 20:37 "NOW THERE WAS ABOUT THIS TIME, A WISE MAN, 20:41 IF IT BE LAWFUL TO CALL HIM A MAN, 20:43 FOR HE WAS A DOER OF WONDERFUL WORKS, 20:46 AND A TEACHER OF SUCH MEN 20:47 AS RECEIVE THE TRUTH WITH PLEASURE. 20:49 HE DREW OVER TO HIM BOTH MANY OF THE JEWS 20:52 AND MANY OF THE GENTILES, HE WAS THE CHRIST." 20:55 THIS IS COMING FROM A JEWISH SCHOLAR 20:56 WHO IS NOT WRITING IN THE BIBLE. 20:59 IT SAYS, "AND WHEN PILATE, 21:02 AT THE SUGGESTION OF PRINCIPAL PEOPLE AMONG US, 21:05 HAD CONDEMNED HIM TO THE CROSS, 21:07 THOSE THAT LOVED HIM 21:08 AT THE FIRST DID NOT FORSAKE HIM, 21:11 FOR HE APPEARED TO THEM ALIVE AGAIN 21:14 AFTER THE THIRD DAY." 21:16 SO THIS IS NOT JUST THE BIBLE, FRIENDS, THIS IS HISTORY. 21:18 AND EVEN THIS JEWISH HISTORIAN SAYS, 21:20 "YEAH, HE WAS THE MESSIAH, 21:22 HE APPEARED, HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD." 21:26 "AS THE DIVINE PROPHETS HAD FORETOLD THESE THINGS 21:28 AND TEN THOUSAND OTHER WONDERFUL THINGS 21:30 CONCERNING HIM. 21:32 AND THE TRIBE OF CHRISTIAN CONTINUES WITH US 21:34 AND THEY ARE NOT EXTINCT EVEN TO THIS DAY." 21:37 SO I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT HERE. 21:39 THERE ARE PROPHECIES THAT TELL ABOUT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH, 21:42 THAT HE'D BE BORN OF A VIRGIN, THE TIME OF HIS BAPTISM, 21:46 THE TYPE OF MINISTRY, THE EVENTS OF HIS BETRAYAL, 21:49 THE MANNER OF HIS EXECUTION, 21:51 HIS RESURRECTION, HIS ASCENSION. 21:52 THIS IS ALL FORETOLD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 21:55 AND THEN PEOPLE SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, WE HAD A QUESTION 21:58 I DIDN'T READ TONIGHT. 21:59 HOW DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE?" 22:00 I'M GOING, PFF! 22:02 WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT? 22:05 WHAT EVIDENCE WILL YOU ACCEPT? 22:07 THE BOOK HAS BEEN SUPERNATURALLY PRESERVED. 22:09 EVERYTHING IT SAYS HAS COME TRUE. 22:11 AND JESUS IS THE BEST EVIDENCE OF ALL. 22:13 AMEN. 22:14 YOU START TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER, FRIENDS, 22:16 AND YOU CAN SEE JESUS 22:17 IS WHAT THE WHOLE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT. 22:20 AMEN? 22:21 AMEN. 22:22 SO WHY DID HE COME? 22:24 THREE QUICK REASONS WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW. 22:26 ONE HE CAME AS OUR EXAMPLE. 22:29 JESUS, HE SAID, 22:31 "I'VE GIVEN YOU AN EXAMPLE 22:32 THAT YOU SHOULD WALK AS I'VE WALKED." 22:34 JESUS CHRIST CAME AND THAT, BY THE WAY, IS JOHN 13:15. 22:39 "I WANT YOU TO LIVE AS I HAVE LIVED." 22:41 A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. 22:44 HE CAME TO SHOW US THE FATHER, IS THE SECOND REASON HE CAME. 22:47 HE SAID, "HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER." 22:51 AND THEN, FINALLY, HE SAID, 22:53 "I'VE COME BECAUSE I WANT TO TAKE YOUR PLACE." 22:56 HE IS OUR SUBSTITUTE. 22:58 HE DIED AS A SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS 23:00 BECAUSE HE LOVES US. 23:02 BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DO. 23:04 WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT SACRIFICE IN OUR BEHALF. 23:08 AMEN. 23:09 YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS WAS BEING TRIED, 23:12 PILATE SAID TO HIM, 23:14 "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH JESUS 23:16 WHO IS CALLED THE CHRIST?" 23:17 EVERYONE REALLY NEEDS TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. 23:19 HE IS THE CENTRAL FIGURE OF HUMAN HISTORY. 23:22 ALL OF HISTORY DATED FROM HIS BIRTH. 23:25 YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE JESUS. 23:27 GOD HAS GIVEN AN INCREDIBLE GIFT 23:29 THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN. 23:31 AMEN. 23:32 I REMEMBER READING A STORY YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS, 23:35 A RAILWAY SWITCH KEEPER IN PRUSSIA OVER IN EUROPE 23:40 WHERE THEY HAD THIS SPAN THAT CROSSED THE BRIDGE, 23:43 A RAILROAD TRACK CROSSED THE RIVER 23:45 AND THERE WAS A DRAWBRIDGE. 23:46 AND WHENEVER THE TRAIN WAS APPROACHING 23:48 IT WOULD TOOT ITS WHISTLE 23:51 AND HE WOULD RAISE THIS FLAG AND SAID, 23:52 "ALL CLEAR, KEEP GOING." 23:54 AND ONE DAY, WHILE HE WAS AT HIS STATION 23:56 WAITING FOR THE TRAIN, IT TOOTED THE WHISTLE 23:59 AND HE GAVE THE ALL CLEAR SIGN. 24:01 BUT THAT WAS ALSO A DAY THAT HE HAD BROUGHT 24:02 HIS 4-YEAR-OLD SON WITH HIM TO WORK 24:04 AND HE HAD TAKEN HIS EYES OFF HIS SON 24:07 WHO HAD WANDERED OUT ON THE TRESTLE 24:09 AND HE SAW THE TRAIN COMING. 24:11 KNOWING THE SPEED OF THE TRAIN, 24:12 SEEING HOW FAR OUT ON THE TRACK HIS SON WAS, 24:16 HE THOUGHT, "WHAT DO I DO? 24:17 IF I LEAVE THE BRIDGE UP, 24:19 THE TRAIN WILL GO OFF AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE 24:21 WILL PERISH IN THE RIVER. 24:23 IF I DON'T SWITCH THE TRAIN OFF THE TRACK, 24:26 MY SON IS GOING TO PERISH." 24:29 AND SO HE SHOUTED OUT TO HIS SON, 24:31 "LAY DOWN NOW. 24:32 LAY DOWN AND DO NOT MOVE." 24:35 AND HE KNEW THE BOY COULDN'T OUTRUN THE TRAIN 24:38 AND THE BOY JUST LAY DOWN. 24:40 THE BRIDGE WENT DOWN, 24:41 THE TRAIN WENT ACROSS THE RIVER 24:44 AND THE MAN NEVER KNEW, AND THE PEOPLE WENT BY, 24:46 THEY ARE WAVING AT THE MAN IN THE BOOTH. 24:49 THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT 24:50 WHAT THE DECISION HE HAD JUST MADE. 24:53 AFTER THE TRAIN PASSED, HE RAN OUT THERE EXPECTING 24:55 MAYBE TO FIND THE MANGLED REMAINS OF HIS CHILDREN. 24:57 HIS BOY HAD OBEYED AND HE WAS ALIVE. 25:00 THE WHOLE TRAIN WENT OVER HIM. 25:03 NEXT DAY THE KING OF PRUSSIA GAVE THAT MAN A REWARD 25:06 FOR BEING WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIS SON 25:08 TO SAVE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. 25:11 HIS SON DID NOT DIE. 25:14 YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD VARIATIONS OF THAT STORY. 25:17 BUT IT IS TRUE THAT OUR FATHER GAVE HIS SON 25:20 AND HE DID DIE. 25:21 AND A LOT OF THE WORLD DOESN'T EVEN KNOW, 25:23 AS THEY GO ON THEIR MERRY WAY, 25:24 THEY'RE ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF THE GRACE OF GOD, 25:27 BECAUSE THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH. 25:28 AND WHY AREN'T THESE PEOPLE ALL DEAD? 25:31 BECAUSE JESUS, BY HIS SACRIFICE, 25:33 BOUGHT THE HUMAN RACE TIME, 25:35 PROBATION TO MAKE A DECISION. 25:38 WE'VE GOT JUST THIS LIFE. ONE LIFE TO MAKE A DECISION. 25:42 THAT'S WHY ALL THE PROPHECIES ARE THERE 25:44 THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS. 25:51 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST 25:52 TODAY'S LIFE CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 25:55 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 25:57 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 25:59 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 26:01 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 26:03 SIMPLY TEXT THE KEY WORD ON YOUR SCREEN 26:05 TO 40544, 26:07 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN, 26:10 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THAT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 26:13 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 26:14 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER 26:15 FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH AMAZING FACTS 26:18 WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT. 26:20 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 26:25 DOUG: HELLO FRIENDS, PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR HERE 26:27 WITH AMAZING FACTS. 26:29 WHEN SUSAN'S AND MICHAEL'S WHIRLWIND RELATIONSHIP 26:31 LED TO A WEDDING. 26:33 THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW HARD MARRIED LIFE COULD BE. 26:36 BEFORE THEY KNEW IT THEY WERE ON THE STORMY PATH 26:38 TOWARDS DIVORCE, BUT THAT'S WHEN GOD LED THEM 26:42 TO AN AMAZING FACTS BROADCAST. 26:44 AND THERE THEY SAW THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF MARRIAGE 26:47 AS PRESENTED IN KNOWING JESUS. 26:50 FINALLY, THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT MEANT TO LOVE SACRIFICIALLY 26:52 LIKE CHRIST AND TODAY, SUSAN AND MICHAEL ARE JOYFULLY MARRIED 26:56 SHARING WHAT THEY LEARNED WITH OTHERS. 26:59 NOW, YOU FRIEND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SOMEONE 27:01 TODAY AND TO MAKE AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE FOR MORE PEOPLE 27:05 LIKE MICHAEL AND SUSAN. 27:06 YOUR SIMPLE INVESTMENT OF FAITH IN AMAZING FACTS WILL KEEP 27:10 GROWING AND REACHING MORE PEOPLE WITH GOD'S LIFE CHANGING WORD. 27:14 WOULD YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER SENDING A GIFT TODAY 27:16 TO HELP OTHERS KNOW CHRIST AND THE WONDERFUL TRUTH 27:20 THAT YOU'VE LEARNED? 27:21 AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE A DONATION. 27:22 GIVE US A CALL AT 877-506-1751. 27:29 THE NUMBER AGAIN 877-506-1751 OR JUST VISIT 27:35 GIVE.AMAZINGFACTS.ORG, OR SEND YOUR GIFT 27:40 TO P.O.
