00:02 THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU
00:03 BY THE FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:10 IT'S THE MOST READ BOOK IN THE WORLD,
00:12 SELLING CLOSE TO 4 BILLION COPIES
00:14 OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS.
00:16 THE BIBLE IS AN AMAZING BOOK, UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
00:20 ALTHOUGH IT WAS WRITTEN OVER A PERIOD OF AROUND 1,500 YEARS
00:23 BY 40 DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON THREE CONTINENTS,
00:26 THE BIBLE MAINTAINS INCREDIBLE HARMONY
00:29 THROUGHOUT ITS 66 BOOKS.
00:31 A LONG LIST OF BIBLE PREDICTIONS HAVE COME TO PASS
00:34 THAT CONFIRMS SCRIPTURES ARE DIVINELY INSPIRED,
00:37 BUT NONE OF THEM WERE DRAMATICALLY FULFILLED
00:39 THAN 125 PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MESSIAH
00:42 THAT WERE FULFILLED TO PERFECTION
00:44 IN THE LIFE OF JESUS.
00:46 VARIOUS OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS PREDICT WITH GREAT PRECISION,
00:50 THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH,
00:51 HIS TRIAL, THE MANNER OF HIS CRUCIFIXION,
00:53 THE TIMING OF HIS RESURRECTION,
00:55 AND MANY OTHER ASPECTS OF HIS LIFE.
00:57 ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN, THE DOZENS OF PROPHECIES
01:01 AND PREDICTIONS ABOUT HIS LIFE
01:02 COULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED BY CHANCE ALONE.
01:05 JESUS IS THE BIBLE'S CENTRAL FIGURE, BUT WHO IS HE?
01:10 AND HOW IS YOUR LIFE AFFECTED BY HIS?
01:13 JOIN ME NOW, AS WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
01:15 AT THIS HERO OF REVELATION.
01:22 OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT DEALING
01:23 WITH THE HERO OF REVELATION
01:25 IS PART OF OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER SERIES.
01:28 THIS IS REALLY A NEW SERIES, WE CALL IT PROPHECY ENCOUNTER
01:33 BECAUSE WE'RE HOPING THAT THROUGH THE STUDY OF PROPHECY
01:36 THAT PEOPLE WILL ENCOUNTER THE HERO OF REVELATION.
01:40 AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHO THAT IS.
01:42 MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU READ THE FIRST WORDS IN REVELATION,
01:46 IT'S NOT A REVELATION OF THE BEAST,
01:48 IT'S NOT A REVELATION OF THE ANTICHRIST.
01:50 PEOPLE SAY, "I WANT TO READ
01:51 ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST IN REVELATION."
01:53 ARE YOU AWARE THE WORD ANTICHRIST
01:55 DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION?
01:58 IT'S IN THE LETTERS OF JOHN.
02:00 THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS ABOUT JESUS.
02:03 HE IS THE CENTRAL FIGURE,
02:04 BUT NOT JUST THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
02:07 THE WHOLE BIBLE IS ABOUT JESUS
02:09 AS YOU'LL DISCOVER IN OUR STUDY TONIGHT.
02:11 FIRST VERSE, REVELATION 1:1,
02:13 "THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST,
02:16 WHICH GOD GAVE TO HIM TO SHOW HIS SERVANTS THINGS
02:19 WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS."
02:22 SO THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE THINGS
02:24 WE'RE GOING TO STUDY IN REVELATION,
02:26 BIBLE TELLS US WAY BACK IN THE TIME OF CHRIST
02:28 THEY WERE ABOUT TO COME TO PASS.
02:30 SO THE PROPHECY AT LEAST BEGINS DURING THE TIME OF CHRIST
02:34 AND CARRIES ON UNTIL, OF COURSE,
02:35 WE'RE IN HEAVEN IF YOU READ REVELATION 21 AND 22.
02:39 THERE ARE OVER 300 OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES
02:43 THAT PROVIDE A NUMBER
02:44 OF PRECISE IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS
02:46 REGARDING THE MESSIAH.
02:48 A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THINK THAT JESUS WAS JUST ONE
02:50 OF MANY RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
02:52 YOU CANNOT REALLY BELIEVE THAT AND BE A CHRISTIAN.
02:56 BIBLE SAYS, "THERE IS NO OTHER NAME GIVEN AMONG MEN
02:58 WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED."
03:00 JESUS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER RELIGIOUS TEACHER.
03:03 GOD BECAME A MAN.
03:05 IT'S CALLED THE INCARNATION IN CHRIST TO SAVE US
03:10 AND WE NEED TO KNOW WHO HE IS.
03:11 THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS ALL ABOUT JESUS
03:14 AND YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO HE IS.
03:16 THE WHOLE BIBLE TELLS US ABOUT THAT.
03:17 WE'RE GOING TO DELVE INTO SOME OF THESE.
03:19 FIRST PROPHECY IS IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS.
03:23 GENESIS 3:15.
03:25 THIS IS AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED
03:28 AND GOD THEN, SPEAKING TO ADAM AND EVE,
03:31 AND BECAUSE OF THE SERPENT WAS THE MEDIUM
03:34 THROUGH WHICH LUCIFER SPOKE,
03:36 GOD SAID "AND I WILL PUT ENMITY,"
03:39 THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE WORD ENEMY.
03:41 IT MEANS THERE IS ANIMOSITY, THERE IS FRICTION,
03:43 THERE IS A POLAR RESISTANCE, "BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN,"
03:48 BETWEEN THE SERPENT AND THE WOMAN.
03:50 THAT COMES UP IN REVELATION, SO I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT,
03:53 "BETWEEN YOUR SEED," THE SEED OF THE SERPENT,
03:56 "AND HER SEED," THE SEED OR THE OFFSPRING OF THE WOMAN.
04:00 THE SEED OF THE WOMAN,
04:01 IT'S TALKING ABOUT IS THE MESSIAH.
04:03 GOES ON TO SAY, "AND HE," THE SEED OF THE WOMAN
04:06 "WILL BRUISE YOUR HEAD."
04:08 CHRIST WOULD BRUISE THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT,
04:10 AND YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL."
04:12 THE PROGRESS OR THE WALK OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
04:14 HAS BEEN IMPEDED,
04:16 SLOWED BY THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.
04:19 THERE IS A BATTLE IN THIS WORLD BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL,
04:21 BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND THE SERPENT
04:23 THAT CARRIES ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
04:25 YOU READ IN REVELATION 12,
04:27 WE DON'T HAVE TO GUESS WHO THE SERPENT IS.
04:30 "SO THAT GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT,
04:32 THE SERPENT OF OLD CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN,
04:35 WHO DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD."
04:37 HOW MUCH OF THE WORLD DOES HE DECEIVE?
04:40 THE WHOLE WORLD.
04:42 SO WHERE DID JESUS COME FROM?
04:45 THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.
04:47 IS HE JUST A MAN?
04:49 WAS HE BORN LIKE OTHER MEN?
04:50 CHRIST MADE SOME PRETTY BOLD CLAIMS.
04:53 FOR ONE THING, HE SAID IN JOHN 6:38,
04:56 "FOR I HAVE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN..."
04:59 WELL, NOT EVERYBODY SAYS THAT.
05:01 I MEAN, IF YOU MEET SOMEBODY THAT SAYS,
05:02 "I'VE COME FROM HEAVEN" AND YOU KNOW THE BIBLE,
05:05 WE TALKED A LITTLE LAST NIGHT
05:06 ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE CHRIST.
05:10 AND THERE IS SOME PROMINENT CHARACTERS
05:13 THAT CLAIMED TO BE JESUS
05:14 BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME THAT ARE LOCKED UP HERE AND THERE.
05:18 AND I MET SOMEBODY ONCE THAT CLAIMED TO BE JESUS
05:21 THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET
05:23 BECAUSE I WAS BY MYSELF UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
05:24 I LIVED IN A CAVE BACK THEN.
05:26 I WAS A HERMIT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF
05:28 AND I WAS ALL BY MYSELF.
05:29 AND A HIKER CAME BY THE CAVE AND THAT WAS NOT THAT UNUSUAL,
05:32 I'D SEE PEOPLE FROM TIME TO TIME.
05:34 HE STAYED AND HE VISITED FOR A LITTLE BIT
05:36 THEN SAID HE WAS JESUS.
05:40 AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT,
05:41 "I'VE GOT SOME SPANISH FRIENDS NAMED JESUS, MAYBE THAT'S..."
05:44 HE DIDN'T LOOK SPANISH.
05:48 AND THEN HE SAID, "NO I AM CHRIST."
05:51 HE SAID, "MY NAME IS MICHAEL DAVID HARPER".
05:54 THEY SAID, "THAT'S MY EARTHLY NAME,
05:55 BUT I'VE COME FROM HEAVEN."
05:56 WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S A LITTLE SPOOKY
05:58 WHEN YOU'RE BY YOURSELF UP THE HILLS
05:59 AND YOU MEET SOMEBODY THAT SAYS,
06:01 "I'M JESUS, AND I HAVE COME."
06:03 AND I WASN'T QUITE SURE WHAT TO SAY
06:04 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I JUST STARTED READING THE BIBLE.
06:08 I THOUGHT, "WELL, IF IT IS JESUS,
06:09 I'VE GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
06:12 AND IF IT IS JESUS, I DON'T WANT TO SHOW A LACK OF FAITH
06:14 AND HURT HIS FEELINGS."
06:15 I MEAN, ALL KINDS OF CRAZY THINGS
06:17 ARE GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD, YOU KNOW?
06:18 AND I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE HIM MAD,
06:22 WHETHER HE WAS JESUS OR WASN'T JESUS.
06:24 I DIDN'T WANT.
06:26 AND SO I SAID, "WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS
06:29 THAT WHEN YOU COME
06:31 THAT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO SEE YOU,
06:32 IT WILL BE LIKE LIGHTNING".
06:34 HE SAYS, "THAT'S TRUE."
06:35 HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, "BUT I'M COMING SPECIALLY
06:36 TO PREPARE SOME OTHER PEOPLE EARLY."
06:38 AND HE HAD LIKE AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING,
06:40 HE KNEW THE BIBLE AND HE STAYED WITH ME
06:42 FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS
06:43 AND ATE ALL MY FOOD SO I KNEW HE WASN'T JESUS
06:45 AND HE DIDN'T CLEAN UP AND...
06:48 AND I SAW HIM A WEEK OR SO LATER
06:51 AND HE ACTUALLY HAD FOUND AN APOSTLE.
06:53 SOME GUY WAS FOLLOWING HIM AROUND SAYING, "THIS IS JESUS".
06:57 AND THEN I SAW HIM A FEW WEEKS LATER,
06:58 WE LIVED ON THE STREETS BACK THEN
07:00 WHEN I WASN'T UP IN THE CAVE
07:01 AND HE WAS MISSING A TOOTH
07:03 BECAUSE HE HAD GOT INTO A FIGHT.
07:04 I FELT SO MUCH BETTER
07:05 BECAUSE I KNOW JESUS HAS ALL HIS TEETH.
07:07 BUT YOU KNOW YOU MEET
07:09 ALL KINDS OF STRANGE PEOPLE OUT THERE.
07:10 WELL, SO, WHEN JESUS SAID, "I'VE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN"
07:13 AND THEN HE TOLD PILATE IN JOHN 18:36,
07:16 "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD."
07:17 "I AM FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD."
07:20 WELL, WHAT IS HE, AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL?
07:23 WHERE DID JESUS COME FROM?
07:24 HE'S MAKING SOME BOLD CLAIMS.
07:26 AND SO WE NEED TO EVALUATE THAT.
07:28 DID JESUS CLAIM DIVINITY?
07:31 DID HE CLAIM TO BE GOD?
07:33 IN A WORD, YES.
07:36 AND HERE'S SOME VERSES THAT ILLUSTRATE THAT.
07:37 JOHN 8:58, "JESUS SAID TO THEM,
07:40 'MOST ASSUREDLY I SAY TO YOU BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM.'"
07:47 NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING,
07:48 "WELL, THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE WAS CLAIMING TO BE GOD."
07:50 THE JEWS WHO WERE LISTENING TO HIM THAT DAY BELIEVED
07:53 HE WAS CLAIMING TO BE GOD BECAUSE GOD SAID TO MOSES,
07:56 "I AM THAT I AM."
07:57 THAT WAS A TITLE FOR GOD, THE SELF-EXISTENT ONE.
08:00 THEY TOOK UP STONES TO STONE HIM FOR BLASPHEMY
08:03 CLAIMING TO BE GOD AND JESUS DID NOT RETRACT THAT.
08:06 AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, "BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS,"
08:09 HE SAYS, "I PREEXISTED."
08:11 AND THEN YOU CAN READ AGAIN IN JOHN 17:18,
08:14 "THEREFORE MY FATHER LOVES ME, BECAUSE I LAY DOWN MY LIFE
08:18 THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN."
08:20 AND NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES
08:21 AND TAKE IT AGAIN.
08:22 HE SAYS, "NO ONE TAKES IT FROM ME.
08:24 I AM LAYING IT DOWN AND I'M TAKING IT UP."
08:28 AND THEN HE GOES ON AND HE SAYS IN MARK 2:10,
08:31 "THE SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS."
08:35 AND YOU CAN READ WHERE IT SAYS,
08:37 "GOD AND GOD ONLY CAN FORGIVE SINS."
08:39 AND SO, THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS
08:41 THAT JESUS EXPLAINED HE HAD DIVINE PREROGATIVES.
08:45 AND SO, YES, JESUS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER MAN.
08:47 HE SAID HE PREEXISTED BEFORE HE CAME TO THIS WORLD.
08:50 HAD POWER TO FORGIVE SIN.
08:53 HOW CAN WE EVALUATE HIS CLAIMS?
08:56 HOW DO WE TEST TO SEE IF THIS IS TRUE?
08:59 C.S. LEWIS, THE CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHER SAID,
09:02 "YOU REALLY ONLY HAVE THREE CHOICES WITH JESUS."
09:04 NO QUESTION THAT HE LIVED.
09:07 WHAT YEAR IS IT RIGHT NOW?
09:09 2017.
09:11 I KNOW I'M JUST TESTING. 2017 WHAT?
09:15 THE WHOLE DATING METHOD
09:16 THAT THE WORLD USES IS BASED ON THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.
09:19 I TOLD YOU THEY GOT THAT OFF A LITTLE BIT
09:21 BUT IT WAS OSTENSIBLY DATED FROM CHRIST.
09:25 SO YOU CAN'T DENY THAT HE LIVED.
09:27 HISTORY DOESN'T CHALLENGE HIS EXISTENCE THAT HE LIVED.
09:31 SO IT'S LIKE C.S. LEWIS SAID,
09:33 "HE WAS EITHER A LIAR, OR HE WAS A LUNATIC,
09:38 OR HE'S LORD.
09:40 THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY THREE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE."
09:44 HI, FRIENDS, DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
09:45 IN JUST A MOMENT WE WILL BE BACK
09:47 TO COMPLETE TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
09:49 HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT THIS ENIGMATIC CHARACTER
09:51 IN THE BIBLE CALLED MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL?
09:54 WELL, THAT'S THE TITLE OF THE BOOK
09:56 WE'D LIKE TO SEND YOU FOR FREE.
09:58 MICHAEL SUDDENLY APPEARS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
10:01 HE IS WORSHIPED BY JOSHUA,
10:02 AND IN OTHER PLACE HE IS INVOLVED IN THE RESURRECTION.
10:05 THE BIBLE SAYS, HE'S CONNECTED WITH THE SECOND COMING.
10:07 THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
10:09 WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL.
10:11 YOU EVEN FIND MICHAEL FIGHTING WITH THE DEVIL IN REVELATION.
10:15 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN
10:18 AND ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 170 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS.
10:22 AND AFTER YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE,
10:24 MAKE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND.
10:26 WELL, LET'S GET BACK NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION
10:28 AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
10:32 SO HOW DO WE DETERMINE.
10:34 WHERE DO WE GO TO FIND OUT?
10:36 THE BIBLE TELLS US AND JESUS HIMSELF SAID IN JOHN 5:39,
10:41 "SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES,
10:42 IN THEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE,"
10:44 HE SAID, "THESE ARE THEY THAT TESTIFY OF ME."
10:48 NOW WHEN JESUS SAID THAT,
10:49 HOW MUCH NEW TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN?
10:51 NONE. NONE.
10:53 AND SO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN ILLUSTRATE SOMETHING
10:55 AND I AM GLAD TO SEE SOME OF YOU
10:56 BROUGHT YOUR BIBLES HERE. I'M GOING TO QUICKLY...
10:58 OH, GOOD, I'VE FOUND IT RIGHT AWAY.
11:00 THIS IS YOUR BIBLE, I'VE DIVIDED IT
11:02 JUST VISUALLY SO YOU GET A ROUGH IDEA.
11:04 YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME CONTENTS AND CONCORDANCE
11:07 AND STUFF IN THE FRONT AND THE BACK,
11:08 BUT APPROXIMATELY THREE QUARTERS OF THE BIBLE,
11:11 OLD TESTAMENT, THIS IS WRITTEN BEFORE JESUS.
11:15 MATTER OF FACT, THE LAST BOOK MALACHI IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
11:17 WAS WRITTEN ABOUT 400 YEARS BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN.
11:20 SO THERE'S A NICE SPREAD BETWEEN THE TWO.
11:22 AND THEN YOU GET TO THE NEW TESTAMENT,
11:24 IT TALKS ABOUT THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST.
11:27 FIRST WORDS IN REVELATION ARE THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
11:30 FIRST WORDS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
11:31 THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS CHRIST.
11:34 SO IT TELLS ABOUT THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
11:36 THE OLD TESTAMENT FORETELLS WHEN THE SAVIOR WOULD COME,
11:39 WHEN GOD WOULD BECOME A MAN.
11:41 AND A LOT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IS TALKING ABOUT CHRIST.
11:45 THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PROPHECIES.
11:46 SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING NOW AT A LOT OF PROPHECIES HERE
11:50 THAT WERE WRITTEN HUNDREDS, IN SOME CASES,
11:52 MORE THAN A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE CHRIST WAS BORN,
11:55 AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE HERE
11:56 THAT EXACTLY WHAT WAS FORETOLD HAPPENED.
12:00 AND THIS IS ONE REASON
12:01 I THINK THIS IS NOT JUST WHITE PAGES AND BLACK INK.
12:04 I BELIEVE THE BIBLE
12:06 IS A SUPERNATURAL CORRESPONDENCE WITH HUMANITY
12:09 AND GOD HAS DONE SOMETHING MIRACULOUSLY
12:12 TO PROTECT THIS BOOK.
12:13 SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK IN THE BIBLE.
12:15 FURTHERMORE, LUKE 24:27, JESUS,
12:20 WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO THE TWO DISCIPLES
12:22 ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS,
12:23 HE SAID, "HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM BEGINNING AT MOSES
12:27 AND ALL THE PROPHETS HE EXPOUNDED TO THEM
12:30 IN ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES
12:31 THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF."
12:34 SO JESUS GAVE A BIBLE STUDY TO THESE TWO DISCIPLES
12:36 AND HE SHOWED THEM THROUGH ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES,
12:39 PRIOR TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.
12:42 AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
12:43 THAT JESUS IS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THERE.
12:45 I'VE BEEN TO CHURCHES BEFORE WHERE THEY SUPPLY A BIBLE
12:48 AND ALL THEY HAVE IS A NEW TESTAMENT.
12:50 THEY SAY, "WELL, WE'RE A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH,
12:51 WE DON'T, THAT'S THE OLD COVENANT."
12:53 YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE NEW TESTAMENT
12:56 WITHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT.
12:58 IT'S THE MOON THAT THE WOMAN STANDS ON,
13:02 THOUGH SHE IS CLOTHED WITH THE SUN OF THE NEW TESTAMENT,
13:04 IT'S THE FOUNDATION.
13:05 THE OLD TESTAMENT IS SO IMPORTANT
13:07 TO UNDERSTAND THE NEW.
13:09 AND AGAIN, HEBREWS 10:7, "HE
13:12 SAID, 'BEHOLD, I COME.
13:13 IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME
13:16 TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD."
13:18 SO THE WHOLE BIBLE IS TELLING US ABOUT JESUS.
13:21 DOES PROPHECY FORETELL THE MESSIAH'S FAMILY TREE?
13:26 AND THE ANSWER IS, ABSOLUTELY YES.
13:29 FOR ONE THING, GOD TOLD ABRAHAM
13:32 HE WAS CALLING HIM FROM MESOPOTAMIA.
13:35 HE SAID, "THROUGH YOUR DESCENDANTS,
13:37 THE MESSIAH WOULD COME."
13:38 AND YOU FIND THAT IN GENESIS 12:3,
13:41 "IN YOU SHALL ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED."
13:45 THROUGH YOUR DESCENDANTS
13:46 THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME THROUGH THE HEBREW LINE.
13:49 NOW YOU REALIZE, A JEW AND A HEBREW IS DIFFERENT.
13:52 ABRAHAM HAD MORE CHILDREN THAN JUST ISAAC
13:54 AND ISAAC HAD MORE CHILDREN THAN JUST JACOB.
13:57 AND JACOB HAD MORE CHILDREN THAN JUST JUDAH.
14:00 THE WORD "JEW" KIND OF COMES FROM THE DESCENDANTS OF JUDAH,
14:02 PRINCIPALLY.
14:04 BUT WE OFTEN USE IT TO TALK ABOUT HEBREWS, IN GENERAL.
14:07 BUT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME THROUGH
14:09 THE DESCENDANTS OF NOT ONLY ABRAHAM, BUT ISAAC.
14:12 YOU READ IN GENESIS 26:4, IT SAYS
14:14 "I WILL GIVE YOUR DESCENDANTS THESE LANDS,
14:17 AND IN YOUR SEED ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD
14:20 WOULD BE BLESSED."
14:21 BECAUSE JESUS DID NOT JUST COME FOR JEWS, DID HE?
14:23 HE CAME TO SAVE EVERYBODY.
14:25 "WHOSOEVER WILL" THE PROMISE IS.
14:28 HE TOLD THE DISCIPLES, GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.
14:30 AND THEN, NOT ONLY DID IT COME FROM ABRAHAM THROUGH ISAAC,
14:34 SEE ABRAHAM ALSO HAD ISHMAEL
14:36 AND SEVERAL OTHER CHILDREN THROUGH KETURAH.
14:38 ISAAC ALSO HAD ESAU.
14:41 BUT HE SAID THE BLESSING WOULD COME THROUGH JACOB
14:44 AND JACOB PROPHESIED.
14:46 YOU SEE THE PROPHECY IN NUMBERS 24:17.
14:49 "A STAR WILL COME OUT OF JACOB,
14:50 A SCEPTER" A SCEPTER'S WHAT A KING HOLDS,
14:53 "WILL RISE OUT OF ISRAEL."
14:55 THERE WOULD BE THIS KING,
14:56 THE KING OF KINGS THAT WOULD COME.
14:58 BY THE WAY, THAT'S THE PROPHECY, PROBABLY,
14:59 THAT THE WISE MEN IN THE EAST WERE READING WHEN THEY CAME
15:03 AND FOLLOWED THE STAR.
15:04 THE STAR THAT SAID, THERE WAS A NEW KING THAT WOULD COME.
15:07 AND THEN WHEN HE WAS DYING THERE IN GENESIS 49, JACOB,
15:12 LATER CALLED ISRAEL, HE PROPHESIED THAT OF HIS SONS,
15:15 AND HE HAD 12 SONS AND ONE DAUGHTER,
15:17 THE MESSIAH WOULD THEN BE COMING
15:19 SPECIFICALLY THROUGH WHICH ONE?
15:21 JUDAH, RIGHT?
15:24 YOU ALL WITH ME? YOU ALL KNEW THAT, DIDN'T YOU?
15:26 THE MESSIAH WOULD COME THROUGH OF THE 12 SONS OF JACOB,
15:29 HE WOULD COME THROUGH JUDAH.
15:31 AND HE SAYS THERE IN GENESIS 49,
15:33 "THE SCEPTER WILL NOT DEPART FROM JUDAH,
15:35 NOR A LAWGIVER FROM BETWEEN HIS FEET, UNTIL SHILOH COME,"
15:39 THAT MEANS THE KING OF PEACE.
15:41 AND UNTO HIM SHALL THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE.
15:44 SO IT WOULD COME THROUGH THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
15:46 "THERE WILL COME FORTH A ROD FROM THE STEM OF JESSE..."
15:49 JESSE WAS THE FATHER OF DAVID.
15:51 "AND A BRANCH WILL GROW FROM HIS ROOTS."
15:53 IT SAID THE MESSIAH WOULD COME FROM THE HOUSEHOLD OF DAVID.
15:56 "AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL REST UPON HIM."
15:59 WELL, WHY DOES IT SAY, "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD?"
16:02 THE VERY WORD "MESSIAH"
16:03 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT MEANS ANOINTED,
16:07 THE WORD CHRIST, CHRISTOS, IT'S GREEK FOR THE ANOINTED.
16:12 YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY CHRISTEN A SHIP,
16:14 THEY SPLASH THE BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE OR WINE ON IT
16:17 AND IT'S CALLED A CHRISTENING.
16:19 AN ANOINTING MEANS TO SHOWER SOMETHING.
16:22 JESUS WAS TO BE SHOWERED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
16:26 AND THEY CALLED HIM THE ANOINTED
16:28 THAT CAME THROUGH THE DESCENDANTS OF DAVID.
16:31 NOW YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
16:33 AND YOU SEE WAS IT FULFILLED?
16:35 AND YOU CAN READ IN LUKE 1:26,
16:38 "NOW IN THE SIXTH MONTH THE ANGEL GABRIEL
16:42 WAS SENT BY GOD TO A CITY IN GALILEE NAMED NAZARETH..."
16:46 WHERE'D THE ANGEL GO?
16:47 I WANT YOU TO CATCH THAT
16:49 BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM HERE IN THE MOMENT.
16:51 "TO A VIRGIN THAT WAS BETROTHED TO A MAN
16:53 WHOSE NAME WAS JOSEPH OF THE HOUSE OF" WHERE?
16:56 "HOUSE OF DAVID.
16:58 THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY."
16:59 AND THIS ALL SOUNDS LIKE A CHRISTMAS SERMON.
17:01 YOU ALL KNOW THIS STORY, RIGHT?
17:03 BUT BOTH MARY AND JOSEPH WERE DESCENDANTS FROM DAVID.
17:06 YOU FIND THE GENEALOGY OF MARY
17:08 GOING THROUGH HER FATHER BACK TO JESUS IN LUKE,
17:12 AND THE GENEALOGY FOLLOWS JOSEPH IN MATTHEW.
17:15 SO EITHER WAY THEY WERE BOTH DESCENDANTS OF DAVID
17:20 AND, FURTHERMORE, IT SAYS THAT JESUS
17:22 WOULD COME THROUGH NOT JUST THE HOUSE OF DAVID,
17:24 BUT THE MOTHER WOULD BE A VIRGIN.
17:25 NOW THAT CERTAINLY IS UNIQUE, RIGHT?
17:28 YOU READ THAT PROPHECY IN ISAIAH 7:14,
17:33 "BEHOLD A VIRGIN WILL CONCEIVE AND BEAR A SON,
17:36 AND THEY'LL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,"
17:38 WHICH MEANS GOD WITH US.
17:41 JUMP TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
17:42 BY THE WAY, THAT'S WRITTEN 700 YEARS
17:44 BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN,
17:46 FORETOLD THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN.
17:49 NOW YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND YOU READ IN MATTHEW 1:18.
17:53 IT SAYS THAT, "NOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS WAS AS FOLLOWS:
17:57 AFTER HIS MOTHER MARY WAS BETROTHED OR ENGAGED TO JOSEPH,
18:01 BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER,
18:03 SHE WAS FOUND TO BE WITH CHILD."
18:05 AND, OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF MARY,
18:11 VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS, BUT MARY WAS THE VIRGIN.
18:13 YEAH.
18:16 WHAT ABOUT WHERE HE WOULD BE BORN?
18:18 DOES THE BIBLE TALK SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANY DOUBTS
18:20 ABOUT WHO THE SAVIOR OF MAN WOULD BE?
18:23 NO DOUBTS ABOUT WHEN GOD BECAME A MAN.
18:24 WHO IS IT?
18:26 IT WASN'T JUST ONE OF MANY WISE MEN OR PROPHETS THROUGH TIME.
18:29 IT WAS JESUS.
18:30 THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH IS FORETOLD
18:32 IN THE BOOK OF MICAH
18:33 ABOUT 600 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST.
18:36 HE SPECIFICALLY SAID, "BUT YOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATHAH,
18:39 THOUGH YOU ARE LITTLE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF JUDAH,
18:42 UNTO YOU, YET OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH TO ME
18:46 THE ONE WHO IS TO BE THE RULER IN ISRAEL,
18:48 WHOSE GOINGS FORTH ARE FROM OLD,
18:50 EVEN FROM EVERLASTING."
18:52 SO IT'S ANOTHER PROPHECY HERE.
18:54 WHAT DOES IT TELL US ABOUT JESUS?
18:56 HE'S FROM EVERLASTING.
18:57 SEE, CHRIST DIDN'T JUST APPEAR
18:59 WHEN HE WAS BORN FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING.
19:02 YOU KNOW, IN REVELATION, HE'S REFERRED TO AS THE ETERNAL ONE.
19:07 HE'S THE "I AM" THERE.
19:09 HE'S THE ONE WHO IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST,
19:12 THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.
19:14 SO CHRIST IS FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING.
19:17 HE WAS ETERNAL.
19:18 AND IT SAYS THAT HE'D BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM.
19:21 DID THAT HAPPEN?
19:23 NOW, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
19:24 WHEN THE ANGEL CAME TO MARY, YOU HEARD ME SAY A MINUTE AGO?
19:27 WHERE WAS SHE?
19:29 GALILEE. AND WHAT CITY? NAZARETH.
19:32 I'VE GOT A MAP UP HERE ON THE SCREEN.
19:33 NOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEE NAZARETH
19:34 AS THE CROW FLIES ABOUT 70 MILES AWAY.
19:38 SHE'S GREAT WITH CHILD.
19:39 SHE'S A LONG WAY FROM HOME.
19:40 HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE MESSIAH BORN,
19:42 AS HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BORN,
19:44 IN THE CITY OF DAVID, BETHLEHEM?
19:46 WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY TIMES IN HISTORY
19:49 WE NEED TO THANK A POLITICIAN FOR DOING A TAX INCREASE.
19:54 CAESAR AUGUSTUS.
19:56 LUKE 2:1, ISSUED A DECREE,
20:00 "AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS
20:01 THAT THERE WENT OUT A DECREE FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS
20:04 THAT ALL THE WORLD SHOULD BE TAXED
20:06 AND THEY HAD TO GO REGISTER FOR THE TAX IN THEIR OWN CITY.
20:11 AND JOSEPH ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILEE
20:14 OUT OF THE CITY OF NAZARETH INTO JUDEA
20:17 THERE TO BE REGISTERED,
20:19 TO BE TAXED AND REGISTERED WITH HIS WIFE,
20:21 MARY" OR HIS ESPOUSED WIFE "BEING GREAT WITH CHILD."
20:25 AND, OF COURSE, WHILE THEY ARE THERE WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
20:29 "AND SO IT WAS, WHILE THEY WERE THERE,
20:31 THE DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED THAT SHE SHOULD BE DELIVERED.
20:34 AND SHE BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON."
20:37 AND THIS IS, OF COURSE, FULFILLING THAT THE MESSIAH
20:39 WOULD BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM.
20:41 WHEN THE SHEPHERDS SAW THE ANGELS WHERE WERE THEY?
20:43 "THERE WERE DWELLING IN THOSE DAYS
20:44 OUTSIDE BETHLEHEM SHEPHERDS WATCHING THEIR FLOCKS."
20:48 NOW, YOU KNOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AMAZING TO ME,
20:51 YOU KNOW WHAT BETHLEHEM MEANS?
20:53 BETH MEANS HOUSE.
20:55 BETHLEHEM, THAT MEANS HOUSE OF BREAD.
20:58 AND JESUS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE.
21:01 AND AFTER HE WAS BORN, HE WAS PLACED IN A MANGER.
21:04 A MANGER IS A TROUGH FOR PUTTING GRAIN FOR THE ANIMALS.
21:08 SO HERE YOU'VE GOT THE BREAD OF LIFE
21:09 BORN IN THE HOUSE OF BREAD PLACED IN A TROUGH FOR BREAD.
21:12 JESUS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE.
21:16 "AND SO SHE BROUGHT FORTH HER FIRSTBORN SON,
21:18 WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES,
21:20 AND LAID HIM IN A MANGER,
21:21 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR HIM IN THE INN."
21:25 AND AGAIN THE ANGELS SAID "FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN"
21:28 THEY TOLD THE SHEPHERDS, "IN THE CITY OF DAVID."
21:30 JESUS WOULD BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID BORN IN THE TOWN OF DAVID
21:34 AND IT WAS ALL FORETOLD BY THE PROPHETS,
21:37 THE SAVIOR WHO IS CHRIST THE ANOINTED, THE LORD.
21:41 AND WHEN CHRIST WAS A BABY, EIGHT DAYS OLD,
21:44 THEY BRING HIM TO THE TEMPLE TO BE NAMED AND CIRCUMCISED,
21:48 WHICH WAS TECHNICALLY THE FIRST TIME HE SHED BLOOD.
21:51 WHEN THEY CALLED HIS NAME JESUS,
21:53 HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.
21:55 THE PRIEST THERE IN THE TEMPLE, SIMON,
21:56 TOOK HIM UP IN HIS ARMS AND BLESSED HIM.
21:59 AND THEY SAID TO HIS MOTHER,
22:00 "BEHOLD, THIS CHILD IS DESTINED FOR THE FALL
22:02 AND THE RISING OF MANY IN ISRAEL,
22:05 AND FOR A SIGN THAT WILL BE SPOKEN AGAINST.
22:07 YES, A SWORD WILL EVEN PIERCE THROUGH YOUR OWN SOUL,"
22:11 FORETELLING, OF COURSE, THE SUFFERINGS
22:12 THAT JESUS WOULD BE GOING THROUGH,
22:14 "THAT THE THOUGHTS OF MANY HEARTS MIGHT BE REVEALED."
22:17 SO EVEN AT THE VERY BEGINNING MARY WAS GIVEN A PROPHECY
22:21 TO LET HER KNOW THAT JESUS WAS COMING, NOT JUST AS A LION,
22:26 BUT HE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO COME AS A LAMB
22:28 AND SUFFER FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
22:31 WELL, THEN, WHEN CHRIST WAS STILL A CHILD,
22:35 THEY'RE LIVING IN BETHLEHEM,
22:36 HEROD THE KING WANTED TO EXTERMINATE JESUS AS A BABY.
22:40 YOU KNOW THERE'S THREE TIMES IN THE BIBLE
22:42 WHEN THE DEVIL MADE AN EFFORT
22:44 TO TRY TO KEEP THE SAVIOR FROM COMING.
22:47 YOU CAN READ ABOUT THE DEVIL THOUGHT MAYBE
22:49 THAT A SAVIOR WAS COMING WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
22:51 WERE IN EGYPT.
22:52 SO HE WANTED ALL THE BABY BOYS TO BE EXTERMINATED.
22:57 AND YET MOSES WAS MIRACULOUSLY SPARED, THE SAVIOR WAS SPARED.
23:02 AND THEN DURING THE TIME
23:03 OF QUEEN JEZEBEL'S DAUGHTER ATHALIAH,
23:06 SHE KILLED ALL OF THE SEED OF DAVID.
23:09 AGAIN, THE DEVIL TRYING TO KEEP
23:10 THE MESSIAH FROM COMING.
23:12 BUT, MIRACULOUSLY, JOASH WAS SPARED.
23:16 AND THEN, OF COURSE,
23:18 DURING THE TIME WHEN CHRIST WAS A BABY,
23:19 HEROD SENT HIS SOLDIERS TO BETHLEHEM
23:20 TO KILL ALL THE BABY BOYS, ONCE AGAIN,
23:22 TO TRY TO KEEP THE SAVIOR FROM COMING.
23:26 AND JOSEPH WAS WARNED IN A DREAM TO GO DOWN TO EGYPT
23:28 AND YOU READ IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
23:30 THAT AFTER HE RECEIVED THAT WARNING.
23:32 HE SAID, "HE AROSE AND HE TOOK THE YOUNG CHILD
23:34 AND HIS MOTHER BY NIGHT AND HE DEPARTED FOR EGYPT..."
23:37 NOTICE WHAT MATTHEW SAYS, "THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED
23:40 WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE LORD THROUGH THE PROPHET SAYING,
23:43 'OUT OF EGYPT I HAVE CALLED MY SON.'"
23:46 AND, HERE, HE'S QUOTING HOSEA.
23:48 AND SO, EVEN THE NEW TESTAMENT WRITERS, LIKE MATTHEW,
23:52 COULD OFTEN SEE HOW JESUS
23:54 WAS A FULFILLMENT OF ALL THESE PROPHECIES.
23:56 THEY ALL COMBINED AND CONCENTRATED
23:58 AND FOCUSED IN HIS LIFE.
24:01 YOU KNOW, I GET EXCITED WHEN I TALK ABOUT THIS
24:02 BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NO QUESTION
24:04 THAT JESUS IS WHO HE SAYS HE WAS.
24:07 ALL RIGHT, AND THEN YOU CAN SAY
24:08 AND HE CAME WHEN HE WAS A CHILD.
24:10 HE MOVED BACK THEN, AFTER EGYPT TO NAZARETH
24:13 AND HE WAS SUBJECT TO HIS PARENTS
24:15 "THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED
24:17 THAT WAS SPOKEN OF BY THE PROPHETS,"
24:18 ANOTHER PROPHECY, "HE WILL BE CALLED A NAZARENE."
24:22 NOW THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN SAMSON'S PARENTS WERE TOLD
24:27 THAT THIS PROMISED CHILD WOULD BE A NAZARENE.
24:30 SEVERAL OF THE TYPES IN THE BIBLE,
24:31 LIKE SAMUEL AND SAMSON, HAD THE VOW OF A NAZARITE.
24:36 TYPICALLY, JESUS IS PAINTED WITH LONG HAIR.
24:39 AND YET, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS
24:41 "IT'S A SHAME FOR A MAN TO HAVE LONG HAIR."
24:43 BUT THE NAZARITES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO CUT THEIR HAIR.
24:45 AND SO SOME HAVE WONDERED,
24:47 "DID JESUS' PARENTS HAVE THE VOW OF A NAZARITE ON HIM
24:51 UP UNTIL HE WAS BAPTIZED?"
24:52 BECAUSE A PERSON COULD HAVE A NAZARITE VOW
24:54 FOR A VARYING LENGTH OF TIME.
24:57 IT WASN'T NECESSARILY A LIFELONG VOW.
24:59 NAZARITES COULD NOT EAT
25:01 OR DRINK ANYTHING FROM THE VINE.
25:03 JESUS OBVIOUSLY DRANK GRAPE JUICE.
25:05 AND SO, HE MAY HAVE JUST BEEN A NAZARITE
25:07 UP UNTIL HIS BAPTISM OR FOLLOWED THAT VOW.
25:10 WE'RE NOT SURE
25:11 BUT HE'S TYPICALLY PAINTED WITH LONG HAIR
25:13 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT.
25:16 BUT THAT WAS FORETOLD.
25:17 "AND THEN HE WENT DOWN WITH HIS PARENTS
25:19 AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH,
25:20 AND HE WAS SUBJECT TO THEM."
25:23 YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL THESE THEORIES THAT SAY,
25:24 YOU KNOW, THE REASON JESUS WAS SO BRILLIANT
25:27 IS BECAUSE, FROM THE TIME HE WAS BORN,
25:30 HIS PARENTS THEN TOOK HIM
25:31 AND HE STUDIED UNDER THESE WISE GURUS IN INDIA,
25:36 OR HE WENT TO EGYPT AND HE STUDIED THERE.
25:37 AND THEY'VE GOT ALL THESE THEORIES
25:39 ABOUT WHERE JESUS GOT HIS GREAT KNOWLEDGE
25:41 BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT HE WAS UNEDUCATED IN JERUSALEM.
25:44 IT TELLS US THAT HE LEARNED THE SCRIPTURES
25:47 RIGHT THERE FROM HIS PARENTS IN HOME.
25:49 HE DIDN'T GO OFF
25:50 AND WASN'T SECRETLY TAUGHT BY ANY,
25:53 YOU KNOW, KUNG FU EXPERTS OFF THERE SOMEWHERE.
25:55 AND THEN COME BACK
25:57 AND HAVE THIS GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT.
25:59 HE WENT TO HIS PARENTS.
26:00 HE LIVED A NORMAL LIFE FOR THE FIRST 30 YEARS
26:04 UNTIL HIS BAPTISM.
26:05 BUT THE MAIN REASON WE DO THESE SEMINARS
26:07 IS BECAUSE WE WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
26:09 THAT THE BIBLE IS ALL ABOUT JESUS.
26:13 WHEN ABRAHAM WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN WITH ISAAC
26:15 AND GOD SAID, "ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME YOUR SON?"
26:20 HE PUT THE WOOD ON ISAAC'S BACK.
26:23 THE CROSS WAS PLACED ON JESUS' BACK.
26:25 THE FATHER AND THE SON WENT TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP TOGETHER.
26:29 ISAAC WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
26:31 JESUS WAS A WILLING SACRIFICE.
26:34 ABRAHAM WAS WILLING TO GIVE HIS SON
26:37 AND THAT'S A TYPE OF GOD WHO DID GIVE HIS SON.
26:40 BUT WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE,
26:42 YOU'RE READING IN THE STORY OF JOSEPH,
26:44 AND IN THE STORY OF DAVID,
26:45 AND THE STORY OF SAMUEL AND GIDEON.
26:48 IT'S ALL TELLING US ABOUT JESUS.
26:50 YOU'RE SEEING SHADOWS IN A TAPESTRY OF CHRIST
26:53 ALL THROUGH THIS BOOK
26:54 BECAUSE GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW THEM AND KNOW HIM
26:57 AND HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS SON.
