00:01 Music...
00:30 Good morning and welcome back
00:32 to our 3ABN Australia Homecoming of 2019
00:35 and we've been having a wonderful weekend
00:39 and this is actually our final session here today
00:42 so we're looking forward to a blessing.
00:44 My name is name is Charissa Torossian
00:46 and this is John Malkiewycz.
00:47 You know, I'm very happy to have Charissa alongside me
00:50 because she's been with 3ABN Australia
00:53 from the very beginning
00:54 and she's been a blessing all around the world
00:57 and her sister, Marleta Fong will be singing,
01:00 "Captive to the Call"
01:02 and Sanja Kitesvski will be playing...
01:04 and she's another one that's very well known by 3ABN
01:08 and the Speaker is, Pastor Justin Torossian,
01:12 is he your husband?
01:14 He is.
01:15 Is he a good husband?
01:17 He is.
01:18 That's excellent and he will be talking on,
01:20 "Into Eternity. "
01:21 He's chosen a Bible text, Revelation 21:3 to 4
01:25 and I'm reading it,
01:26 "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
01:29 Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
01:32 and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
01:35 and God Himself shall be with them,
01:38 and be their God.
01:40 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
01:43 and there shall be no more death,
01:45 neither sorrow, nor crying,
01:48 neither shall there be any more pain:
01:51 for the former things have passed away. "
01:54 Amen, let's open with a word of prayer.
01:57 "Our loving Father in heaven,
01:59 Lord, we praise You for this new day of life
02:02 and we thank you that we can gather here together
02:05 to study Your Word
02:06 and as we listen to Your Word as in song and as it is preached,
02:10 we pray that the Holy Spirit would speak to our hearts.
02:13 May You point us to Jesus and point us to eternity
02:16 is our prayer in Jesus' name, amen. "
02:19 Pause...
02:30 Piano...
02:43 I hear Your voice so clearly
02:47 I feel Your hand guide
02:51 I know that You are near me
02:55 In You I can hide
02:59 I bring my life to You Lord
03:03 I give You my all
03:07 because You give me freedom
03:11 I'm captive to
03:15 the call
03:19 Captive to the call
03:26 Free from all my fear
03:34 No prisoner of the Lord
03:40 His freedom holds me here
03:49 I'm bound by bands of grace
03:56 and love that conquers all
04:03 My joy alone in Christ
04:10 I'm captive to the call
04:19 Piano...
04:22 I leave all things behind me
04:25 To find all things new
04:29 For now the dreams that bind me
04:33 Are realized in You
04:37 I've made the choice to follow
04:40 Through Him I will not fall
04:44 No power can separate us
04:47 I'm captive to the call...
04:55 I'm captive to the call
05:02 Free from all my fear
05:09 No prisoner of the Lord
05:16 His freedom holds me here
05:24 I'm bound by bands of grace
05:31 and love that conquers all
05:38 My joy alone in Christ
05:44 I'm captive to the call...
05:51 My hope is built on nothing else
05:57 Than Jesus blood
06:01 and His righteousness
06:07 I'm captive to the call
06:14 and I'm free from all my fear
06:21 No prisoner of the Lord
06:27 It's His freedom that holds me here
06:35 I'm bound by bands of grace
06:41 and love that conquers all
06:48 My joy alone in Christ
06:54 I'm captive to the call
07:01 My joy alone in Christ
07:08 I'm captive
07:11 to
07:14 the call...
07:19 I'm captive to the
07:22 call.
07:27 Audience: Amen.
07:30 Pause...
07:39 Good morning Friends,
07:41 Audience: Good morning.
07:43 It has been a wonderful weekend here
07:45 at 3ABN Homecoming hasn't it?
07:47 A weekend filled with powerful, Biblical messages.
07:50 I've been given the privilege this morning
07:52 of presenting a topic...
07:54 of the topic of the Sanctuary of God
07:58 and it really is a high and holy privilege.
08:01 It's been said that the Sanctuary is...
08:03 can be shallow enough for a spiritual toddler to splash in
08:08 but it's also deep enough
08:09 for the deepest theologian to drown in
08:12 and so, because of the vast array
08:14 of the topic of the sanctuary,
08:16 we could literally spend a 30-Part Sermon Series
08:19 just on the Sanctuary
08:20 but this morning we're only going to get to
08:23 scratch the surface
08:24 and because of its richness and depth,
08:27 we're just going to have a broad overview
08:29 for a message.
08:30 I'll also along the way
08:33 refer you to different books for further study,
08:35 if you'd like to study further on those specific aspects
08:38 of God's sanctuary.
08:40 You know, you may or may not have been here
08:43 to hear the messages earlier this weekend...
08:46 you may have missed some of them,
08:47 but Pastor Geoff Youlden preached some messages...
08:51 one called, "Let's investigate the Judgment"
08:53 and another... "The Year that Changed the Modern World"
08:56 and these messages did an excellent job in covering
08:59 the prophesies of Daniel 8 and 9
09:02 and the topic of Christ's work in the heavenly sanctuary
09:05 right now, during the Investigative Judgment
09:07 or the Pre-Advent Judgment
09:09 and because they were covered already this weekend,
09:11 we won't be covering them in our message this morning
09:14 but rather will have a broader overview
09:17 of the heavenly sanctuary.
09:19 Our message is entitled, "Into Eternity. "
09:24 Let us pray, "Our Father in heaven,
09:27 we thank You for the high and holy privilege that it is
09:31 to be called the Children of God.
09:33 We thank you for Jesus Who makes it a reality.
09:36 We thank You for Your Sanctuary
09:38 that teaches us Your way of salvation
09:41 that outlines for us the beautiful plan of redemption
09:44 through which You want to restore us
09:46 into communion with You.
09:47 We ask, Lord, that as we study Your word this morning
09:51 that You would fill us with Your Spirit...
09:53 that You would not only inform our minds
09:55 but that You would touch and speak to our hearts.
09:58 We ask it in Jesus' precious name, amen. "
10:01 I've never met the Queen of England
10:03 and chances are, realistically, that I never will
10:07 but I'm told that before you meet the Queen,
10:11 there are certain rules of propriety and etiquette
10:14 that you need to learn.
10:16 You need to learn what to say and what not to say,
10:18 what to do and what not to do in her presence.
10:22 Respect and proper formality are absolutely essential.
10:27 I understand that even Prince Charles
10:29 calls his mother, "Ma'am"
10:31 and bows to her.
10:33 Friends, I may never meet...
10:36 and most of us may never meet an earthly monarch
10:38 but one day soon by God's grace,
10:40 we're going to meet the King of kings.
10:42 We're going to see Him face to face.
10:45 The sanctuary outlines for us how we can be pure...
10:49 and impure people can become pure
10:51 and stand and live and dwell
10:53 in the presence of a pure and a holy God.
10:56 Not just for a moment... not for an afternoon
10:59 but for all of eternity.
11:02 We're going to have, as I mentioned,
11:04 a broad overview of the sanctuary together this morning.
11:06 We're going to look from Genesis all the way down
11:09 until the book of Revelation...
11:11 from beginning to the end
11:13 and between our time in Genesis and Revelation,
11:16 we're doing to be having three stops along the way,
11:19 how many stops?
11:20 Audience: Three.
11:22 Three stops... we're going to stop in Exodus for some time
11:24 and zoom into Exodus.
11:25 Next, we're going to stop in the gospel of John
11:27 and zoom in there through a passage of Scripture
11:29 and before closing with Revelation,
11:33 we'll stop in the book of 1st Corinthians.
11:36 So, this will be our journey... the broad overview
11:39 and we'll be zooming in and out of the message today
11:42 and I'd like to share some things with you
11:44 that I learned about the Sanctuary
11:46 just in the last few years that really, really amazed me
11:48 and when I learned them I was just completely blown away
11:52 and amazed by them
11:54 and I'd like to share them with you.
11:55 So, why don't we start our message in the book of Genesis?
11:59 You know, until a few years ago,
12:02 I thought that God's first sanctuary on earth,
12:05 was actually the sanctuary built under the instruction of Moses
12:10 in the book of Exodus
12:11 but did you know that that wasn't it?
12:14 God's first sanctuary on earth was the Garden of Eden.
12:19 Check this out... beautiful.
12:21 In Richard Davidson's recent book...
12:23 his textbook on the Sanctuary,
12:24 he outlines 40 different parallels
12:27 between the Old Testament Sanctuary
12:29 and the Garden of Eden.
12:31 We're not going to go through all 40
12:32 but I want to share a few of them that stood out to me
12:35 as the most powerful
12:36 and we're just going to fly through these
12:38 so buckle your pew belts because here we go.
12:40 First stop, did you realize that the Garden of Eden
12:43 was not the first Garden of Eden?
12:47 The one on the earth was not the first one in existence.
12:51 Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 13 says that before Lucifer's fall,
12:54 he was in Eden... the Garden of God.
12:57 So, the earthly Garden of Eden was actually to be a reflection
13:02 of the heavenly Garden of Eden.
13:03 God already had a Garden of Eden in heaven
13:06 and, of course, the one on earth as mentioned was designed
13:10 to be a picture or reflection of that one.
13:13 Now, the parallels between the Garden of Eden
13:16 and the Sanctuary.
13:18 The Garden of Eden... the Bible tells us
13:20 was planted eastward... Genesis 2 verse 8 tells us this
13:24 and it says in Genesis 3:24
13:26 that it's entrance was on the eastside
13:29 so, the Garden of Eden had an eastward orientation.
13:32 Well, did the sanctuary have anything to do with
13:36 the direction of east?
13:37 Absolutely, the entrance to the Sanctuary was on the east side.
13:41 Secondly, the Tree of Life... the Bible says
13:44 was placed in the middle of the Garden.
13:46 Well, similarly, in the Sanctuary,
13:49 the Menorah or the seven-branched candlesticks
13:52 in the middle of the Sanctuary... in the Holy Place
13:55 and the Bible tells us that it was designed to have buds
13:59 and be shaped like a tree with branches and almond blossoms
14:03 so, this was a picture of the Tree of Life in a sense.
14:07 Furthermore, the light that would shine from the Menorah
14:11 in the Sanctuary...
14:12 the word used to describe that light
14:15 is the Hebrew word, "mu'ár"
14:17 that word is only ever used
14:19 in the first five books of the Bible...
14:21 to describe the lesser light...
14:23 the lesser mu'ár and the greater mu'ár...
14:26 the sun and the moon in the Garden of Eden
14:28 in Genesis 1 in Creation.
14:30 These are the only two places that the word "mu'ár" is used
14:35 and so, there is that connection as well.
14:37 Next, the Bible says that God's temple in heaven
14:40 was on the Holy Mountain of God.
14:42 It was on a... what?
14:45 On a mountain... on the Holy Mountain of God.
14:46 Well, Solomon's Temple in the Old Testament
14:49 was on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
14:52 Did you know that the Garden of Eden
14:54 was actually on a mountain
14:56 or an elevated place?
14:58 It doesn't say it explicitly in the text there,
15:01 it doesn't say "Mountain" or a "Large Hill"
15:03 but we know this is the case
15:04 because Genesis 2 verses 10 through 14 tells us
15:07 that there were four different rivers
15:09 that came out of one source
15:11 and they flowed south and north and east and west
15:16 out of that one source.
15:18 Logical conclusion?
15:19 It was on an elevated place... either a large hill
15:23 or a mountain...
15:24 similarly too, the sanctuary that God designs.
15:28 Last, in the Garden of Eden the Bible says
15:32 that God walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden
15:35 in the cool of the day,
15:37 that Hebrew word is the word, "Halak"
15:39 and the word "Halak" is also used of God's presence
15:43 in the sanctuary later in the Old Testament
15:46 when the sanctuary was designed and built.
15:49 Friends, God walked and talked with Adam and Eve.
15:52 He spoke with them face to face.
15:55 How amazing it must have been
15:57 to walk and talk with the God of the universe.
16:01 What a beautiful thing that must have been!
16:04 What an incredible experience!
16:06 But sadly, as we know the Bible tells us
16:09 that Adam and Eve chose to disobey God.
16:11 They chose to sin and to eat of that Tree
16:15 of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
16:17 and as a result, pain and suffering and death
16:20 came in through sin and rebellion.
16:23 The Bible tells us in Isaiah 59 verse 2
16:26 that the result of sin is that we are separated from God.
16:29 Listen... look... read the verse along with me,
16:32 "But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
16:35 and your sins have hidden His... " what?
16:37 "hidden His face from you. "
16:40 All of a sudden, God was separated from His people.
16:44 Those who He had walked and talked with...
16:47 those who He had loved to commune with...
16:49 those made in His image...
16:51 He was separated from them
16:52 and He was in this long-distance relationship all of a sudden.
16:56 Last year, at 3ABN Homecoming,
16:59 my wife Charissa preached a message called:
17:02 We're getting married.
17:04 Well, we got married...
17:06 actually, right here in this church
17:09 and this is the first time that we are back
17:10 since our recent marriage...
17:12 our wedding and so, it was an amazing day
17:14 and marriage and ministry together has been amazing.
17:18 We're both happier...
17:20 hence a little heavier than when we...
17:23 before we got married
17:24 and, you know, our wedding day was an amazing day!
17:28 It was the end of a long... long-distance relationship
17:31 and although our marriage looks like this,
17:34 most of our relationship looked more like this.
17:38 We were... we were talking and texting...
17:41 we were on the phone speaking together...
17:43 we were texting each other back and forth...
17:45 we were communicating
17:47 because when you love somebody,
17:49 you can't bear to be separated from them.
17:52 You want to be together with them.
17:55 You want to be connected with them.
17:57 Friends, praise God that in this long-distance relationship
18:01 that we have with God right now,
18:02 we can be connected with Him through prayer
18:05 and not only prayer,
18:07 we can read His text messages to us in His holy Word, amen.
18:11 We can communicate with Him and be connected with Him
18:14 even though He's distant and far away in heaven
18:18 and praise the Lord that that day of this
18:21 long-distance relationship will come to an end very soon.
18:25 But this connection with Adam and Eve through prayer
18:29 wasn't good enough to God.
18:31 He wanted to end the long-distance relationship
18:35 with His people...
18:36 He wanted to dwell with us again face to face
18:40 and this brings us to our next passage.
18:42 Exodus 25 verse 8, this is, as many call it,
18:46 "The gospel according to Moses... "
18:49 Exodus 25 verse 8, tells us this...
18:52 that God spoke to Moses and He said,
18:54 "And let them make Me a sanctuary,
18:57 that I may dwell among them. "
19:00 Then in verse 9, God explains to Moses
19:02 that the earthly sanctuary he was to build
19:06 was to be a shadow of the heavenly sanctuary.
19:09 Now remember that word, "Shadow"
19:10 because we're going to come back to it later in our message.
19:13 Just would like to give you a quick overview
19:16 of the Old Testament Sanctuary very quickly,
19:18 just a walk-through of it.
19:20 The sinner would come into the sanctuary
19:22 and he would most often bring a lamb
19:24 although there were other sacrifices
19:26 that were brought as well
19:27 for different types of offerings,
19:29 and he would come... and as he would enter into the gate
19:31 of the sanctuary... there the priest would meet him
19:34 and he would confess his sins upon the head of this lamb
19:39 or this animal...
19:40 the throat sadly would be cut of this animal
19:44 and the blood collected in a basin.
19:46 The sinner... having been broken hearted
19:50 by having to see this perfect and innocent animal put to death
19:53 because of his own sins,
19:55 would leave knowing that he was forgiven.
19:58 The priest would then take the blood...
20:00 he would take the animal and he would divide it...
20:02 and place it on the Altar of Burnt Offering...
20:04 he would take the basin of blood...
20:06 wash his hands and feet there at the Laver
20:09 and then would enter into the Holy place of the sanctuary
20:11 where the blood would be applied as well
20:14 as it had already been applied to the horns of the Altar in...
20:17 of the... the Altar of Burnt Offering
20:20 toward the entrance.
20:22 And so, this was kind of the general overview.
20:24 In the Most Holy Place, there was...
20:26 or in the Sanctuary itself, was the Most Holy Place
20:28 and this is where the Ark of the Covenant was
20:31 as we're going to see in a few minutes together
20:34 but I want you to notice three special words with me
20:38 back in our verse, Exodus 25 verse 8,
20:40 what was the purpose of the Sanctuary?
20:43 God tells Moses, "Let them make Me a sanctuary,
20:47 that I might... " what?
20:49 "dwell among them. "
20:51 Friends, God's entire purpose for the sanctuary was...
20:56 so that He could dwell among His people,
20:59 so that He could be with us once again
21:01 and we're going to see this phrase, "Dwell among them"
21:04 or "dwell with them" thread throughout our entire message
21:07 as we see it throughout redemption history.
21:10 God dwelt with Adam and Eve in the Garden
21:12 and now He's communicating that the ultimate purpose
21:15 of His sanctuary
21:17 is to enable Him to dwell with His people once again...
21:21 face to face... to be able to walk and to talk with us.
21:25 To be able to put this long-distance relationship
21:27 at an end and to be together forever.
21:30 There are two overarching purposes for God's sanctuary.
21:35 First of all,
21:37 the first and primary and main purpose of the sanctuary
21:40 is so that God could be close...
21:43 God wanted to dwell with his people
21:47 amongst and within His people.
21:48 So, first of all, God wanted to be close to us,
21:52 praise God.
21:53 We serve a Savior and a God... the Creator of the universe
21:57 that's keeping the entire universe in orbit...
22:01 the planets and the stars
22:02 and all the number of worlds
22:04 and yet, He cares about us individually.
22:07 He loves us personally.
22:10 Praise God that He wants to dwell with us,
22:13 He wants to be close to us.
22:14 What a wonderful God that we serve.
22:16 But even more beautifully than being close
22:19 to Old Testament Israel
22:20 through the sanctuary in a physical sense.
22:22 Secondly, the sanctuary outlines how God would one day
22:26 dwell with His people again in a perfect universe
22:30 in the earth made new.
22:31 Friends, God wants to end this long distance
22:36 and to return...
22:37 as we heard this morning... for the ultimate rescue
22:40 when all the dead will live again.
22:42 We'll be raised back to life and taken home to heaven
22:45 for eternity with Him.
22:47 We live in a broken sin-sick world
22:51 and God must and can and will deal with sin,
22:56 and the sanctuary outlines through its structure
22:59 and through its services, just how God will do that.
23:03 How He will purify His people,
23:05 how He will purge the planet and the universe
23:07 from death and destruction... from Satan and his angel...
23:11 from sin itself
23:12 shows us how He will purify the universe.
23:16 In the words of that beautiful hymn,
23:19 "Only faintly now, I see Him,
23:22 With a darkening veil between,
23:24 But a blessed day is coming,
23:26 When His glory shall be seen.
23:29 Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
23:32 Face to face shall I behold Him,
23:35 Far beyond the starry sky;
23:37 Face to face in all His glory,
23:40 I shall see Him by and by!
23:42 Friends, are you looking forward to seeing Jesus face to face?
23:45 Audience: Amen Pastor: Amen... so am I.
23:47 Two final points on the Old Testament sanctuary
23:50 and then, we'll move on.
23:52 In Exodus 28 verse 36, the Bible tells us
23:55 that the Old Testament High Priest
23:57 would have something written on a gold plate
24:01 and tied to his forehead on the miter across his forehead
24:05 with a blue thread
24:06 and the Bible tells us
24:07 that this is what was written on the plate,
24:10 "Holiness to YHWH... "
24:13 "Holiness to YHWH" or Jehovah.
24:17 Secondly, 1st Kings 6 verse 20 tells us,
24:21 this of the Most Holy Place in Solomon's temple,
24:24 it says that its measurement was 20 by 20 by 20 cubits.
24:29 What shape is as long as it is wide as it is tall?
24:33 Audience: A cube.
24:34 That's exactly right... a cube...
24:36 so the most Holy Place was in the shape of a cube
24:39 and the Bible tells us in the very next verse there,
24:41 that it was overlaid with gold...
24:43 the walls... the ceiling... the floor...
24:45 everything in the Most Holy Place
24:47 was overlaid with pure gold.
24:49 So, when the Shekinah glory of God...
24:51 its brightness would actually come
24:53 and fill the Most Holy Place,
24:55 it would be the most bright and beautiful thing
24:58 that the High Priest had ever seen.
25:00 This is what the Bible tells us was the case
25:03 with the Old Testament sanctuary
25:05 and that Most Holy Place...
25:07 it will be bright and beautiful shining with the glory of God.
25:10 Well, we'll see in our next section
25:13 that the glory of God was about to shine brighter
25:17 and more beautiful than ever before.
25:19 First John... or excuse me...
25:21 John chapter 1 verse 14 tells us this beautiful reality
25:25 of the Plan of Redemption.
25:26 It says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. "
25:32 This word "dwelt" is... is similar...
25:35 it's the same idea as that Old Testament word
25:38 where God said, "Let them make me a sanctuary
25:40 and I will dwell among them. "
25:42 This verse is telling us that the God of all eternity
25:46 dwelt in human flesh.
25:47 The word there actually literally means,
25:50 "To pitch your tent... to pitch camp... "
25:52 so, Jesus pitched His tent among us
25:56 and He took on human flesh.
25:58 You know, we've been camping
26:01 once since we got married, Charissa and I,
26:04 this wasn't our actual tent
26:06 but this was at the same camp meeting,
26:08 it was that big camp in northern south wales,
26:10 it's Stuarts Points...
26:12 and you know, Charissa was a trooper,
26:14 she did great as camping for almost two weeks
26:17 without running water,
26:19 you know, all of the... those types of conveniences,
26:22 but one of Charissa's favorite things about heaven
26:26 is that there will be no germs there
26:28 and so, camping has some of its challenges
26:33 and let's... let's be real,
26:35 I mean, if you've ever been to a camp ground
26:37 where you're living with a lot of people,
26:40 you know that cleanliness and orderliness
26:43 and warmth in the cold and cool in the heat
26:46 and running water and your own shower
26:48 are things that you really start to miss after a while.
26:52 Well, friends, when Jesus pitched His tent among us...
26:56 when He became human...
26:58 He went not just from a house here on earth
27:04 to a tent here on earth,
27:05 He went from the palaces of paradise
27:08 to the nastiness of Nazareth.
27:10 Jesus' descension from a place where disease didn't exist
27:15 and germs didn't exist and uncleanliness didn't exist,
27:20 and pain and sorrow and suffering didn't exist,
27:22 to a world filled with darkness and pain and suffering
27:25 and sorrow and death...
27:26 this condescension is beyond what we can comprehend.
27:29 We're actually told that through all of eternity,
27:33 we're going to be studying the plan of redemption
27:36 and it's going to continue,
27:38 we would never be able to exhaust its beauties,
27:40 but we will continue to learn more and more and more
27:44 down through the ceaseless ages of eternity.
27:47 Friends, what a sacrifice... what a God!
27:51 Now, what happened was...
27:54 the Old Testament sanctuary was completed
27:57 was something very special and significant.
27:59 The Bible tells us that God's physical presence
28:02 came and dwelt there in the sanctuary...
28:04 His Shekinah glory... His brightness.
28:06 The next part of the verse in John 1:14 says this,
28:09 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
28:12 and we beheld His... " what?
28:14 "His glory...
28:15 the glory as of the only begotten Father,
28:19 full of grace and truth. "
28:21 Friends, the place where the glory of God shone the brightest
28:26 was the character... the face of Jesus Christ
28:30 in His life... in His personhood.
28:32 In Jesus, the glory of God shone brighter than ever before
28:37 than anywhere before.
28:39 The world was blessed with the Shekinah glory of God
28:43 in the person of Jesus Christ.
28:45 He was Immanuel... the Bible tells us
28:47 and what does the name "Immanuel" mean?
28:49 God with us.
28:53 Jesus tabernacled in human flesh,
28:55 He was like the sanctuary...
28:58 His body was the sanctuary
29:00 and in fact, Jesus mentioned the sanctuary a few times...
29:04 the temple in His life...
29:05 one was in John chapter 2 verses 19 to 21.
29:07 He was talking with the religious leaders
29:09 and the Bible tells us He told them,
29:11 "Destroy this temple, and in three days
29:13 I will raise it up. "
29:14 And the Jews thinking He was talking about that temple
29:17 that they so revered, they said,
29:19 "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,
29:21 and You will raise it up in three days?
29:24 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. "
29:28 Now, beyond Jesus just communicating here that...
29:32 that the human body is designed to be a temple for God,
29:36 Jesus was actually communicating something much more powerful.
29:40 He was telling the religious leaders,
29:42 "That temple that you so revered...
29:44 that you so built up and appreciate...
29:46 that temple that you consider as so holy...
29:50 everything about it pointed forward to me.
29:53 He was telling them that the sanctuary
29:56 was pointing them forward to Him.
29:58 It was all about Christ,
29:59 this was the purpose of the Old Testament sanctuary
30:03 and Friends, every furniture piece...
30:05 every sacrifice...
30:07 every service centered in Christ.
30:10 We're going to look just briefly and quickly together
30:13 at a few of these.
30:15 We're not going to spend much time
30:16 speaking about the sacrifices.
30:18 The Bible tells us in Leviticus,
30:19 it outlines the different sacrifices
30:21 of that were to take place at the temple,
30:24 and if you want an excellent book in learning how...
30:27 that will just explain very clearly
30:29 how each and every sacrifice points it forward to Jesus,
30:33 whether it was the goats or the lamb or the red heifer
30:37 or the grain offering or the turtle dove,
30:39 check out the book by Roy Gane called: Altar Call.
30:42 It's beautiful and you can see the gospel in Leviticus
30:45 very clearly
30:47 but I just want to talk to you for a moment
30:49 and speaking of the sanctuary or the sacrifices there
30:52 what did John say of Jesus in John 1 verse 29?
30:56 John the Baptist... he said, "Behold the... " what?
31:00 "The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. "
31:04 Every sacrifice of the sanctuary points it forward to Jesus.
31:08 Next, even the furniture of the sanctuary
31:11 pointed forward to Jesus
31:12 and check out a book called, "Sarah"
31:14 a book by Sarah Elizabeth Peck called: The Sanctuary.
31:17 It's an old book written in like 1902 or so
31:20 and very powerful
31:21 but let's just check this out briefly.
31:23 The bronze altar of burnt offering...
31:25 what kind of metal is bronze?
31:29 Can you dig bronze out of the ground in ore form and melt it?
31:32 No... bronze is a composite metal of copper and tin.
31:36 Was Jesus a composite being? Yes or no?
31:39 Yes He was... He was 100% man and 100% God...
31:44 both of them combined in one person.
31:47 God and man... 100% combined in one...
31:49 the Altar of Burnt Offering even points us to Jesus...
31:52 even the type of metal that it was.
31:53 Next, the Laver... John 7:37,
31:56 Jesus said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me, and drink. "
32:00 The Table of Shewbread, John 6:51,
32:02 He said, " I am the living bread which came down from heaven. "
32:05 The seven-branched candlesticks, John 8:12,
32:07 He said, "I am the... " what?
32:09 "the light of the world. "
32:11 The Altar of Incense... Hebrews 7:25 tells us,
32:14 "He ever lives to make intercession for us. "
32:17 The Ark of the Covenant... Hebrews 8 verse 1,
32:20 we're told, "We have such a High Priest,
32:23 who is seated at the right hand of the throne
32:25 of the Majesty in the heavens. "
32:29 Friends, Jesus is pointed to
32:32 in every article of furniture in the sanctuary.
32:35 Incredible... and if you look at the Old Testament Sanctuary,
32:38 and you turn it on its side
32:40 with the east side being in the bottom,
32:42 and you draw a line through every article of furniture,
32:45 guess what shape it makes?
32:46 It forms a cross.
32:48 Even the layout of the sanctuary
32:51 pointed forward to Jesus' death on the cross for us...
32:54 the Plan of Redemption at its apex... at its high point.
32:58 Next, the high priest in the Old Testament...
33:01 Exodus chapter 28 tells us that on his shoulders
33:03 were two special stones called the Urim and the Thummim.
33:06 Six names of the tribes of Israel were etched on one
33:09 and six names on the other
33:11 and on his chest he wore a gold breastplate
33:14 with twelve precious gems on it
33:16 and each one had a name of the tribes of Israel on it
33:19 and just like that human high priest
33:23 went into the presence of God
33:24 with the names of Israel on his shoulders
33:27 and over his chest,
33:28 now, Jesus our High Priest is in heaven
33:30 and as He is in the presence of God,
33:33 He has the names of His people on His shoulders.
33:36 He has us and He's bearing us...
33:38 all of our of our burdens on His shoulders,
33:41 but more than that, He has us over His heart.
33:44 He's in the presence of the God of the universe
33:47 with us on His heart.
33:50 We are loved by Christ.
33:52 God loves us Friends
33:54 and what a beautiful reality that is.
33:56 Friends, the entire focus of our message is the sanctuary,
34:01 and the entire focus of the sanctuary is Jesus.
34:05 This is the entire point of the Old Testament sanctuary.
34:09 God wanted to highlight this so much
34:11 that even in Jesus' life on earth,
34:13 it was bookended with the sanctuary.
34:16 John 1 verse 14,
34:18 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. "
34:20 That's a reference to the sanctuary
34:22 and then, all the way at the end of His life,
34:24 when Jesus was on the cross... when He breathed His last,
34:26 Matthew 27 tells us,
34:28 that something happened in that earthly sanctuary,
34:30 what was it?
34:32 Pause...
34:33 The veil was ripped from top... from the top down
34:37 in the Old Testament sanctuary...
34:39 in that sanctuary there...
34:41 that physical sanctuary and God was trying to say,
34:44 every lamb... every goat... every red heifer,
34:47 every turtledove,
34:49 every animal in every offering points us
34:52 to Jesus the Lamb of God
34:53 Who had just died to take away the sins of the world.
34:56 The Old Testament sanctuary was now obsolete...
35:00 it was no longer necessary.
35:02 The shadow had met its reality in Christ.
35:05 When Jesus spoke His final words on the cross,
35:08 it is finished...
35:10 it was three words in English, right,
35:12 but in Greek, it was just one word.
35:15 It was the word "Tetelestai"
35:18 Telelestai...
35:19 and this word has actually been found by archeologists
35:23 on written debt records...
35:25 where someone owed someone a large amount of money
35:28 and the word "Tetelestai" is actually written across the top
35:33 as to say: Paid in Full!
35:36 Friends when Christ cried out on the cross,
35:38 "It is finished... "
35:40 He wasn't just saying, "Hey, my life on earth...
35:42 my earthly life is finished. "
35:43 He was saying, "The price for the redemption of my children
35:47 is paid in full. "
35:49 Praise God for what Christ has done for us, amen.
35:54 We have been bought by the precious blood of Christ.
35:59 Fast forward with me 40 days,
36:01 Jesus had resurrected and now His disciples looked on,
36:05 He began to defy gravity
36:08 as He rose higher and higher into the sky
36:10 until He was caught up by a cloud of angels
36:13 and taken out of their sight.
36:14 "Jesus' words to them" as they thought
36:16 "seemed completely impossible. "
36:18 How could it be that by leaving His disciples,
36:21 He was going to be closer to them
36:23 than when He was actually there, walking and talking with them.
36:26 But after ten days in the Upper Room,
36:28 Christ was about to take that promise
36:31 that God would dwell with them to a whole 'nother level.
36:35 The book of Acts tells us that there was a loud sound
36:39 like a mighty rushing winds.
36:41 The disciples then had what looked like tongues of fire
36:43 above their heads
36:45 and were filled with the Holy Spirit.
36:47 They could miraculously speak in other languages
36:50 so that the gospel could go forth to the entire world.
36:53 The more miraculous than being filled with the Holy Spirit
36:57 or then, speaking in tongues
37:00 was that they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
37:02 He filled their hearts and minds in a whole new way.
37:06 In his letter to the church of Corinth,
37:08 in both of them actually... both letters...
37:11 Paul... a total of three times mentions this reality
37:16 that we are to be temples of the Holy Spirit.
37:20 Paul says in 1st Corinthians 3:16,
37:24 the following words,
37:26 "Do you not know that you are the temple of God
37:28 and that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?"
37:31 Corinth was a city saturated with salesmen and sailors
37:35 living sin-sick lives.
37:37 On a hill called the Acropolis in the middle of the city,
37:41 the city had this temple of Aphrodite
37:44 the Greek Goddess of Love as she was called.
37:46 It was really the the Greek Goddess of Lust.
37:48 Paul reminded the Corinthian believers,
37:51 "You are a temple of God"
37:53 and every time they would look up and see those temple ruins,
37:57 that were already ruins in Paul's day,
37:59 they would remember, "Wait a minute,
38:02 I am meant to be a temple of God... "
38:05 and they would pray a prayer,
38:06 "Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit,
38:08 I want to be a sanctuary for you. "
38:10 Though the temple was in ruins in Paul's day,
38:13 there were still 1,000 temple prostitutes
38:16 that would work the city below,
38:17 causing all kinds of degradation and perversion.
38:20 Right after Paul commands them to flee sexual immorality,
38:24 he pens these words in 1st Corinthians 6 verse 19,
38:28 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple
38:31 of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
38:32 whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
38:35 For you were bought at a price:
38:38 therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit,
38:42 which are God's. "
38:44 Friends, every time they pulled out their money pouch,
38:47 they were tempted to pay for pleasure.
38:51 They would think, "No, I have been bought at a price,
38:54 I belong to God...
38:56 I have been bought with the precious blood of Christ. "
38:59 Friends, we are living in a time
39:02 where perversity and sexual impurity
39:05 are at an all-time high.
39:07 Just like the 1,000 temple prostitutes of Corinth,
39:10 today, the devil has 1,000s of ways
39:12 that he's trying to tempt men and women
39:14 to fall into lust and sexual sins.
39:16 When you go shopping,
39:17 he tempts you to buy that dress that's a little shorter
39:20 or those pants that are a little tight...
39:22 that shirt that's a little lower...
39:24 or maybe it's the temptations of posts of Facebook or Instagram
39:28 that after-work-out photo of yourself
39:30 that you really know you shouldn't...
39:32 through promiscuous party culture
39:34 that permeates our university campuses and towns...
39:36 through the plague of online pornography...
39:39 through steamy romance novels...
39:41 through YouTube... Hollywood and Bollywood...
39:43 in thousands of different ways, Satan is trying to trip us up
39:47 but you know what?
39:48 Even in our highly sexualized society,
39:52 we can be pure.
39:54 We can be victorious, amen.
39:57 James 4 verse 7 tells us, "Draw near unto God... "
40:00 and it says, "Submit yourselves therefore unto God.
40:04 Resist the devil and he will... " what?
40:07 "Flee from you...
40:09 Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. "
40:12 The key to victory is drawing near to God
40:15 because in the presence of God,
40:17 and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit,
40:19 we can be victorious over the temptations that may assail us.
40:23 Now, the disciples experience this
40:26 through the power of God's presence
40:28 Christ dwelt in their hearts
40:31 through every surrendered follower of Him,
40:33 He lived out His life.
40:35 The disciples became so full of His purity...
40:39 so full of His goodness...
40:41 so full of His righteousness
40:43 that there was no room left for selfishness and sin
40:46 because they had let Jesus in.
40:48 Christ was living in their hearts by faith
40:51 and now, in the plan of redemption
40:54 God would dwell with His people
40:56 not in a physical building...
40:58 not limited to one physical location at a time
41:02 like Jesus was
41:03 but now, inside of every believer.
41:06 Check this out,
41:07 in the Old Testament with the sanctuary as we saw,
41:10 God said, "I will dwell with them. "
41:12 Then in John, the Bible says that the Word became flesh
41:16 and dwelt among us.
41:17 Jesus said, "I will dwell with them"
41:20 but now, through the Holy Spirit God was saying,
41:23 "I will dwell within them... "
41:25 and God was now able to be closer to every follower of His
41:30 than ever before since the fall of man.
41:34 The steps were being taken for the purification of His people
41:40 the preparation for us to spend eternity with Him.
41:44 Friends, He wants to prepare us to dwell
41:50 in His presence forever.
41:52 What a beautiful reality this is!
41:54 It doesn't matter that there are a 1,000 temptations,
41:58 just like for the Corinthians.
42:00 Doesn't matter if there are 1,000s of temptations
42:03 that the devil has to trip us up,
42:05 we can be victorious in Christ and through Christ
42:09 to live a Godly and a pure and an upstanding holy life.
42:13 Now, when we ask God to fill us...
42:15 to fill our hearts and minds with the Holy Spirit,
42:18 we find that... that He actually makes our lives
42:24 reflect the life of Christ,
42:25 and remember Jesus' life actually was...
42:29 was outlined in the sanctuary,
42:30 even in the articles of furniture,
42:32 and when we give our lives to Him,
42:34 our lives can be outlined there as well.
42:36 Check this out...
42:37 the Altar of Burnt Offering...
42:39 Romans 12 verse 1 tells us that we can die daily to self,
42:45 and that we are sacrifices... Romans 12:1 says,
42:48 "We are to be living sacrifices for God. "
42:50 Next, Galatians 3:27 says that we are baptized into Christ
42:54 and we put on Christ.
42:56 John 6:58... we are partakers
42:59 or we partake of Jesus the bread of life
43:02 daily through the Bible
43:04 and through studying God's holy Word.
43:07 Ephesians 6:18, we are to pray always...
43:09 this is that Altar of Incense...
43:11 Ephesians 6:18 tells us, we are to pray always
43:13 with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.
43:16 And last of all, the Most Holy Place of the sanctuary...
43:19 the Bible tells us in Revelation 3:21,
43:22 God spoke these beautiful words to His people...
43:24 He said, "To him who overcomes... "
43:27 to him who... what?
43:29 "To him who overcomes,
43:31 I will grant to sit with Me on My throne
43:34 even also as I overcame and sat with My Father on His throne. "
43:39 That Ark of the Covenant had the Mercy Seat on top
43:43 which was a symbol of the throne of the God of the universe
43:46 and Jesus says,
43:48 "Hey, you overcome through My strength,
43:50 when I come back to save you
43:52 and bring you home to heaven with Me,
43:54 you will sit with Me on My throne,
43:56 even also as I overcame
43:57 and sat with My Father on His throne. "
43:59 Friends, that is going to be a beautiful, beautiful thing.
44:03 God wants to dwell in us... within us...
44:06 and to shine His glory through us.
44:09 By-the-way, do you know the first person
44:11 that the Bible ever mentions
44:14 as being specifically filled with the Spirit of God?
44:17 Bezalel... you know who Bezalel was?
44:22 The artisan... the builder who God called
44:25 and set apart to design and to build
44:29 the Old Testament sanctuary.
44:31 From the very beginning,
44:33 God's sanctuary and being filled with God's Spirit,
44:36 were united.
44:37 These thoughts were one...
44:39 and it goes back even further than that,
44:40 Adam... in the Garden of Eden... his body was there...
44:43 his physical body... but he was lifeless
44:44 and the Bible says that God breathed into his nostrils
44:47 the breath of life and man became a living being.
44:49 That word "breath" in Hebrew is the same word as "Spirit. "
44:53 Adam was not only filled with physical breath,
44:56 but he was also filled with the Holy Spirit
44:58 and this brought him to life.
45:01 Friends, God's sanctuary and being filled with God's Spirit
45:05 have been connected all throughout time.
45:08 Now, check this out,
45:09 in Exodus 31, God tells Moses,
45:12 "I have called Bezalel by name. "
45:16 Do you know what Bezalel's name means?
45:19 It means, "In the shadow of God. "
45:22 You may be wondering, "Well, what's the significance?"
45:25 Hebrews... two times...
45:27 calls the Old Testament Sanctuary
45:29 a shadow of things to come.
45:31 It's... Bezalel was actually literally walking in
45:36 the shadow of God in the sanctuary
45:38 that was to be a shadow of the things to come...
45:41 a shadow of the cross and the plan of redemption
45:43 beyond a shadow of the...
45:45 Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary
45:48 as our High Priest.
45:49 Friends, amazingly Bezalel was set apart
45:52 and filled with the Holy Spirit
45:55 and this is our greatest need today as well.
45:59 We need to be filled with the Spirit of God.
46:03 We can try to live a good and a pure and a holy life,
46:07 all that we want in our own strength
46:09 but we will fail...
46:11 but if we are surrendered to Him,
46:13 we can be victorious.
46:15 because through Christ... how many things are possible?
46:18 All things are possible.
46:20 Christ promises us this, "This is our greatest need...
46:24 is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
46:27 We need the latter rain of God's Spirit.
46:29 In case you missed it in the news,
46:31 Australia is currently in the worst drought in 100 years,
46:36 and we want to invite you... whoever you are...
46:39 wherever you are watching this,
46:40 please join us in praying for rain.
46:41 Many of our farmers' families are terribly suffering out west.
46:45 My wife and I went out there,
46:48 she was leading a prayer weekend
46:50 in a regional of churches a few weeks ago,
46:51 and we went out... and it is just so dry and barren,
46:55 it's hard to fathom until you actually see it
46:58 and then it can sink in.
47:00 We were able to help a farmer and his... his family.
47:04 We were able to go and to... to feed...
47:06 help him feed some of his cattle...
47:09 it takes him all day just to feed all of his cattle
47:11 and the sheep that he has there as well.
47:14 Well Friends, as much as we need physical rain
47:17 and are desperately in need of that,
47:19 we're in even greater need of spiritual rain...
47:22 the rain of the Holy Spirit...
47:25 the outpouring of God's presence,
47:27 we need to be filled with God's Spirit individually as people...
47:31 unitedly as families
47:33 and corporately as a church.
47:35 He longs for the world to see His glory
47:38 and to come to know His character.
47:41 That's really what the glory of God is by the way,
47:43 it's His character.
47:44 You can check it out in Exodus 32... 34.
47:48 So God wants to show the world His character through us...
47:52 through His people.
47:53 Now the last point before moving to our final part
47:57 in our message...
47:59 what do you notice here
48:00 as you look at the three middle parts of our message?
48:04 We were in Exodus 25... John chapter 1...
48:07 and 1st Corinthians chapter 3...
48:10 Who is emphasized...
48:12 what member of the Godhead is emphasized more
48:14 on Mount Sinai and in the Old Testament sanctuary?
48:16 Pause...
48:18 God the Father... right?
48:20 God the Father is emphasized more there
48:22 Who then... God became a man
48:24 and His name was... what?
48:25 Jesus...
48:26 and then, God says,
48:28 "Know ye not that your body is the temple of God... "
48:29 Who dwells within you?
48:30 The Holy Spirit.
48:32 Every single person of the Godhead
48:35 is involved in the plan of redemption
48:37 and it centers in the sanctuary...
48:40 incredible...
48:42 Friends, God is doing everything that He possibly can
48:45 to prepare as many people as possible
48:49 to dwell with Him
48:50 not just for a little while
48:52 but face to face on into eternity
48:55 and every member of the Godhead...
48:58 every holy angel is working to prepare us for His soon return.
49:02 Come with me to Revelation as we wrap up our message.
49:05 Here the Bible tells us the beautiful reality
49:08 that we will live in heaven forever with Him.
49:12 After Jesus returns...
49:14 after He saves His people from earth's final crisis...
49:17 after we are in heaven for the 1,000 years...
49:19 after the wicked and Satan and sin itself is incinerated
49:22 in the lake of fire...
49:24 after death itself will be destroyed...
49:27 on the ashes, God will create a new heaven
49:31 and a new earth.
49:32 In heaven, one of the groups of people that will be there
49:36 is a group called the 144,000.
49:39 The Bible tells us that these are those that will be alive
49:42 at the very end of time, the righteous...
49:45 those who have given their lives to Christ...
49:47 who will be there at the end of time before Jesus...
49:50 or when Jesus returns.
49:51 They'll be alive during the ultimate rescue
49:54 of Christ's second coming,
49:55 and check out the Bible's beautiful description of that
49:58 in Revelation 14 verse 1,
49:59 "Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion,
50:03 and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,
50:06 having His Father's name written... " where?
50:08 "written in their foreheads. "
50:10 Does this sound familiar?
50:12 What was written on the forehead of the High Priest
50:17 in the Old Testament?
50:18 "Holiness to... " whom?
50:20 "Yahweh"
50:21 Yahweh is the name of God...
50:22 so in the Old Testament, it was just one person...
50:25 just the high priest
50:26 that would come into the physical presence of God,
50:29 and have His name written over his forehead but now,
50:32 all of the people of God would have His character...
50:35 His name imprinted in their frontal lobes.
50:38 Their minds will have been transformed to become like Him,
50:42 to reflect His character to be like their God
50:46 and to be like their Savior.
50:48 Friends, this is amazing
50:50 not just one of us will have this as a reality
50:53 like the Old Testament high priest,
50:55 but all the followers of God.
50:56 And next, it gets even more beautiful,
50:58 Revelation 21 verse 16,
51:00 "The city is laid out in a square:
51:02 its length is as great as its breadth.
51:04 And he measured the city with the reed:
51:06 twelve thousand furlongs.
51:08 Its length, breadth, and height are equal. "
51:10 What kind of shape is that?
51:12 It's a cube.
51:14 Friends, the Bible tells us here that the New Jerusalem...
51:17 when we will be dwelling in for all eternity...
51:21 that's primarily build out of Gold...
51:23 transparent like glass
51:24 is... is the place where God will dwell with His people
51:28 throughout eternity,
51:30 it's not just going to be one person
51:32 but we'll all dwell in a giant Most Holy Place
51:36 with God almighty for eternity.
51:39 The Shekinah glory of His presence
51:41 will illuminate the place
51:43 and the Bible tells us in Revelation
51:44 that that will be light and glorify the entire place.
51:50 Friends, if you gain one thing...
51:53 if remember one thing from this message,
51:56 let it be this,
51:57 that God longs to dwell with you.
52:03 He wants to be close to you
52:06 not just here and now
52:07 through filling you with His Holy Spirit
52:09 but then and there on into eternity
52:13 face to face.
52:15 That's His greatest desire...
52:17 that is what the sanctuary is all about.
52:20 That is what the life, death, resurrection
52:23 and ministry of Jesus is all about.
52:24 That is what the infilling of the Holy Spirit is all about
52:27 and praise God that on that day, it will be set.
52:30 Our last verse, Revelation 21 verses 3 and 4,
52:34 "... Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
52:37 and He will... " what?
52:39 "dwell with them, and they shall be His people.
52:43 God Himself will be with them and be their God. "
52:47 Friends, what a beautiful day that will be!
52:50 Audience: Amen.
52:51 God will have a holy people
52:53 who are living in the presence of the Holy King.
52:57 The first two chapters... we're standing...
53:01 we find ourselves... humanity face to face with God
53:05 in a sinless world.
53:06 The last two chapters of the Bible,
53:08 face to face with God in a sinless universe.
53:12 The whole Bible in between
53:14 is God making it possible to dwell with His people.
53:18 Friends, this is 3ABN Homecoming...
53:20 it's our last message
53:22 but this homecoming only exists
53:25 to prepare us to look forward to...
53:27 and be ready for that homecoming
53:29 when Jesus will come to gather His loved ones home.
53:33 I don't know about you but Friends,
53:35 I want to go home with Him for all of eternity.
53:37 This world with its brokenness and sin...
53:41 as much as...
53:43 as the blessings of God can... can fill it
53:46 and make it a joy in various ways,
53:48 I'm homesick for heaven, how about you?
53:51 It's time to go home Friends.
53:53 Revelation 21 verses 3 and 4 is the last time
53:58 that this phrase, "Dwell with them... "
54:00 exists in all of the Bible,
54:02 and the reason for that is because this,
54:05 "Dwell with them... "
54:07 will continue into eternity.
54:11 Praise His name...
54:13 we will dwell face to face with Him forever and ever.
54:18 Life will go on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
54:24 world without end... amen.
54:27 Audience: Amen.
54:29 Friends, do you want to say,
54:30 "Lord, I want to be Your sanctuary...
54:32 fill me with Your Spirit here and now
54:34 so that I can be ready to meet you
54:37 and dwell with You then and there through eternity.
54:39 Is that your desire this morning?
54:40 Amen.
54:42 "Father in heaven,
54:43 we thank You for the infilling of Your Spirit,
54:46 we thank You that Jesus is coming soon
54:49 to take us home...
54:50 the ultimate homecoming that will ever exist,
54:52 and Lord, we thank You for the sanctuary
54:55 that outlines the plan of redemption
54:57 and that You want to be close to us
54:59 and dwell with us face to face.
55:01 Fill us with Your Spirit Lord,
55:03 make us Your walking talking breathing living sanctuaries...
55:06 shine Your glory through us we pray,
55:09 in Jesus' name, amen. "
