00:01 Wow, even though our time is just about up,
00:02 we have to get this question in. 00:04 "Jesus knew He was the Son of God 00:07 at an early age, 00:08 He was aware of His gift at age, at the age of 12, 00:12 when He got left behind at the temple 00:14 and His parents went back to find Him, 00:15 so why did He wait till He was 30 years old 00:18 before getting baptized and start preaching? 00:21 I never could understand that." 00:23 This comes from Ed. 00:24 Everything that happened in the life of Jesus 00:26 was according to Bible prophecy. 00:27 Amen. 00:29 Daniel 9:24-27 00:30 outline the entire life of Christ 00:32 and the Bible says in Galatians 4-4, 00:34 "When the fullness of time had come, 00:37 God sent forth His Son." 00:38 So He didn't come in the world before or after, 00:40 He didn't come late but according to schedule. 00:43 And all through His life, He said, 00:44 "The time is fulfilled." 00:46 In Daniel 9:25 about the life of Christ, 00:48 "Know therefore and understand 00:50 that from the going forth of the command 00:52 to restore and build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince, 00:55 there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks." 00:57 So even His baptism was ordained. 01:00 And so when you follow 01:01 from the going forth of the command, 01:03 the decree 483 years later, 01:06 it takes you right to the year that Jesus was baptized. 01:09 In Luke 3:1 says, 01:10 "It was the 15th year 01:11 of the reign of Tiberius Caesar." 01:13 Caesar co-reigned in 12 AD, you add 15 to 12, 27 AD. 01:18 That's why Jesus couldn't get baptized earlier, 01:21 it was foreordained, 01:22 and prophesied the year that He would be baptized. 01:25 Amen. Wow. 01:26 Yeah, I just got to add to that beautiful as pastor said 01:29 it's all according to Bible prophecy. 01:30 And as he referenced here, alluded to, 01:33 you know, Jesus always made mention of this 01:35 you know that His time was not yet, 01:36 I'm thinking of John 2:4, 01:38 "He said, 'Woman, what do you have concern with Me? 01:41 My hour has not yet come.'" 01:42 It was not according to His perfect timing just yet. 01:45 That's deep. That's deep. 01:47 Thank you so much for answering these questions 01:49 from the Word of God. 01:51 Thank you for your due diligence 01:52 in studying the Word, 01:54 and we want to thank you for submitting your questions. 01:55 Amen. 01:57 Make sure that you join us next Monday. 01:58 God bless you. |
