WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.680 Okay, so today we uh, today we want to go 2 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:09.439 back into because last week you were pretty happy. I 3 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.240 thought I was going to get tomatoes after church. I 4 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.000 thought I would be greeted with, you know something, some 5 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.960 kind of but no, you were. You were actually you 6 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:20.120 were actually kind of happy. 7 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:20.440 Uh. 8 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.320 And so that was a miracle. And you came back 9 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:25.960 to church. How many have you came back to church? 10 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:27.960 What in the world? 11 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.120 Of course you did, You're here? What in the world? 12 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.000 All right, so this is good. So last week I 13 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.439 was I spent a little bit of time. Uh, this 14 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.560 was from this is from first service. So I'll try 15 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.560 to explain this. Right, So last week we launched into 16 00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:50.560 attempting to wash religious pessimism out of our hearts. Part 17 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:56.240 of this pessimism is because the majority of so many folks, 18 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:58.399 I don't know who they are, but the majority they 19 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:05.680 see they see a devolving kingdom. Right, but we get 20 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:13.159 rescued at the end, and they also see the blessings 21 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:19.640 of God actually don't really erupt with great excitement until 22 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:27.879 after the rapture or the second Coming. Okay, so we 23 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.000 got all sorts of blessings over here, but I figure 24 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.040 we don't need them over here. 25 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.560 Do you need blessings over here? 26 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.439 Come on, You're gonna be transformed, You're gonna be in 27 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.000 corrupt the ball, You're never gonna die again. All this 28 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.439 stuff's going on. Okay, but this is after the last day. 29 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.680 The last day is First Corinthians fifteen twenty six. 30 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:51.359 Okay. 31 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.719 So, and what I was trying to tell you last 32 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.719 week a little bit, and I gave you about six 33 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.799 right scriptures as proof, but I'm gonna give you a 34 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:05.000 few more today so you'll have double proof. What I 35 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.879 was trying to tell you last week is that we 36 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.599 are not in the last days. We are in the 37 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.800 New days. We are in Kingdom days, we're in the 38 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.680 days of Heaven on Earth days. We're in the new 39 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.759 Heaven and New Earth days. That these are these amazing 40 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:31.639 days that we're living in. And that means you should 41 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.960 run around pinching yourself, like, how did you get in 42 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:36.719 this generation? 43 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.719 Yeah? How is it that God called you. 44 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.919 In the most amazing season the planet's ever seen and 45 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.199 you could possibly be depressed? You could allow a negative 46 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.759 thought to exist for longer than two seconds. 47 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:55.439 I mean, how in the. 48 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.159 World you got to realize you are in God shows 49 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:05.919 you to be in the most dynamic, exciting, amazing time 50 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.039 period the Earth has ever seen. And you're somewhere out here. 51 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.400 So you're actually out here where a lot of stuff. 52 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:16.919 I don't know exactly where you are. You could be 53 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:17.800 over here, but. 54 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.199 You're over here on the timeline where a lot of 55 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.879 the unclean realm has allready been subdued and put under 56 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:33.080 our feet. 57 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.319 You don't believe it. You just need to think for 58 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.280 a minute. Just think. Use that in Aggan and. 59 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.840 You'll realize what a crazy season we're living in and 60 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:47.400 how much has allready been done. And not only that, 61 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.159 we have two point eight billion Christians on the planet. 62 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.800 I love somebody, and the rate of conversion right now 63 00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:01.400 is literally mind boggling everywhere, mind boggling everywhere. Indonesia, which 64 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:08.919 is the largest populous nation of Muslims, is converting to 65 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.639 Christ so fast they can't keep up with it. And 66 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.360 there are churches there now of thirty thousand, sixty thousand, 67 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:22.120 one hundred thousand member churches in Indonesia. 68 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:24.000 Iran, you've heard it. 69 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.000 I ran as turning to the Lord at thousands every 70 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.759 single day, every single day. 71 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.639 So what's going on? We're just living in this group. 72 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.360 But I want you to I want you to remember 73 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.839 that what we had here is we had the Mosaic period. 74 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:46.319 This was the time under Moses, which the Ten Commandments 75 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.160 were only a part of that. The other part that 76 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.040 was relevant of the time under Moses was the tabernacle 77 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.240 and the sacrificial system. You're not familiar with that necessarily, 78 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.759 but that was he break that was Jewish and you 79 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.680 maybe have heard of it, you're aware of it. And 80 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.279 that was how. 81 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:09.160 They approached God. 82 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.560 They approached God through sacrifice, and they approached God at 83 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.519 the temple, and they approached God through the sacrificial system, 84 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.120 and a priesthood represented the people in approaching God. 85 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.040 So have you heard of that? Good? All right? 86 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.399 So the end at times, everybody say in times, the 87 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.519 end at times that the New Testament talks about is 88 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.639 actually the closure of that period. So that period was 89 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.519 coming into a close. Hebrews nine twenty five says that 90 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:50.399 it was becoming obsolete and disappearing. And that's because Jesus, 91 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.000 who was the priest, who was the sacrifice, who was 92 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:03.560 also coming to live within a new temple, right was 93 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.920 inaugurated as one who was starting a brand new kingdom 94 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:18.199 and one who was ascending into the glory of that kingdom. 95 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:27.639 Matthew Matthew sixteen twenty eight. In Matthew sixteen twenty eight, 96 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.560 Jesus says, many of you standing here will still be 97 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:39.000 alive and see the Son of Man come into his kingdom, 98 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:44.240 come into glory. He was literally quoting out of Daniel 99 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:51.839 Chapter two, where Daniel sees the Son of Man coming 100 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.560 up to the ancient of days, the sovereign one, receiving 101 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.600 a kingdom, a kingdom that's everlasting, and a king that 102 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.079 will never fade, in a kingdom that can never be 103 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.199 taken away. So he's actually Jesus is quoting. He does 104 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:11.480 it also in Matthew twenty four. He's quoting out of Daniel. 105 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.720 Even the abomination that causes desolation in the Holy Place. 106 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.519 All of this Jesus is quoting out of Daniel two, 107 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.160 Daniel seven, Daniel nine. 108 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:21.519 Et cetera. 109 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.040 But this period here ad thirty three, what happened in 110 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.920 eighty thirty three, I may remember. 111 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.759 Laurd was crucified, right. 112 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.680 So eighty thirty three to eighty seventy this is called 113 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.759 the last days, all right, So, and it's about what 114 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.920 would that be about thirty seven years? The Last days 115 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.519 now it's the last days of the Mosaic period. And 116 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.720 at the end of this period eighty seventy, this is 117 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:57.319 when the temple is destroyed, Jerusalem is destroyed, Israel is judge, 118 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:02.759 Jerusalem is destroyed, the temple is destroyed, and the sacrificial 119 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.319 system is no more, and never again has there been 120 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.800 a sacrifice, and never again has there been a temple. 121 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.560 So that was the end of that, the end of 122 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.959 that period. That was also the beginning time of this 123 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:24.519 advancing kingdom of Heaven on earth. And another way of 124 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:29.040 saying that would be a new creation and a new earth. 125 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:34.000 Now again, many times religion and religious school of thought, 126 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.519 it puts the new heaven and the new Earth out here, 127 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.120 after the second Coming, after the rapture, after. 128 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.679 The last Day. This is the last day, at the 129 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.600 last trump. Right. 130 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.759 So, but the Bible says First Corinthians fifteen twenty six 131 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.440 says that when he comes back, he's only coming to 132 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.279 conquer one enemy. The other enemies have been put under 133 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.759 his feet. And if they're put under his feet, who 134 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:14.000 else might they be put under Usen's right, So they're 135 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.480 put under our feet as well, because we are the 136 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:21.080 body of Christ. He is the head, and we are 137 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.679 the body. Last we check the feet are attached to 138 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.759 the body, and so he's coming back only to conquer 139 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:34.320 this enemy. That means that all the other enemies, the 140 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.480 demonic powers, the unclean powers, will have been conquered. Which 141 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:44.039 is why Isaiah sixty five sounds like it does. Look 142 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.320 like it does. We're going to read that Isaiah sixty five. 143 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.840 Why it sounds so amazing is because by the time 144 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.799 we get to the last day, the kingdom has on 145 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:02.279 the earth has grown significantly, and the right are living 146 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:11.039 in the abundance of this growing heaven on earth kingdom. Okay, 147 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.679 are you with me so far? Everybody with me so far? 148 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.759 Let's go back over here. I want to give you 149 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.759 some of these right here and talk a little bit. 150 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:23.440 I've got a couple about the last day again. So again, 151 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:30.519 these are the last days. These are the last days? Well, okay, 152 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.159 One Peter four to seven. The end of all things 153 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.559 is near. Therefore be alert and sober of a sober 154 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.919 mind for the sake of prayer. First Peter four to seven. 155 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.799 The end of all things is near. They understood, so 156 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.679 they preached this in all their churches. They talked about 157 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.000 this in all of their meetings. Now, part of why 158 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.320 they this was so important to them is because when 159 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.960 the Judgment happened to Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed, 160 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:06.200 and it was through Roman armies, it was through Titus, 161 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:13.039 and it was with fire and with armed warfare in 162 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.639 Jerusalem when that happened, God didn't want any of the 163 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:23.360 believers to fall prey to that, and so there was 164 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.960 so much writing about this. The Jewish people had become 165 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.799 the enemies of Christianity. Now they aren't our enemies, and 166 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.159 we long for the Jewish people to be restored, and 167 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.440 they will be According to Romans chapter eleven, they will 168 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:45.039 be restored. And when they're restored, it says grafted back 169 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.159 in Roman chapter eleven. When they're grafted back in, it's 170 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.440 going to be like salvation to the entire world. So 171 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.559 what's going to happen If you think life is good now, 172 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.000 and if you think this is good as it increases, 173 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.720 wait til the Jewish people are brought back in. Because 174 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.480 when they're grafted back in, we're going to see the 175 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:11.399 fulfillment of Romans chapter eight, where the suns of God 176 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:17.759 begin to deliver the entire creation out of futility and 177 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.919 out of the curse, and it's going to be like 178 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:23.600 a crazy time of salvation. You can tell I'm already 179 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.200 talking too loud. Uh so Ugo had to turn it 180 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:27.840 down a little bit. Who could you turn it up 181 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.759 a little bit? And then I'll talk quieter. This is 182 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.399 a it's a reverse psychology thing that we go through. 183 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.600 If I think I'm loud, I get quiet here that 184 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.200 hear the ring? Now there's a little ring. 185 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.759 Hear that. You didn't hear the ring? I can hear it. 186 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:51.200 But no, I'm gonna calm down so hard. 187 00:12:51.240 --> 00:13:14.960 You want to try this sometimes, be still my soul, 188 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:27.960 he's still sucking Peter Chapter three. Above all, you must 189 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.399 understand that in the last days, scoffers will come scoffing 190 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.879 and following their own evil desires. They will say, where 191 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.679 is this coming? He promised? Now, there are three kinds 192 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:38.039 of comings in the New Testament. 193 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:38.720 Oh I like it? 194 00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.840 See how better that is? 195 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.039 Isn't that? God? Keep it loud like that? 196 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.320 Oh? Yeah, maybe louder I don't know about there's three. 197 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.799 There's three comings in the New Testament. One is a 198 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.759 coming back. That's generally the only one we talk about 199 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.720 in evangelical churches. We don't understand. There's other comings. There's 200 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.519 another coming. That's the coming that Daniel talked about, and 201 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.639 Jesus himself talked about it in Matthew sixteen twenty eight, 202 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.480 coming into his kingdom. That's the second kind of coming, 203 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.679 coming into his kingdom. There's a third coming that we 204 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.440 get confused with these comings. The third coming is coming 205 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:19.559 in judgment. There's a third coming. The third coming is 206 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:24.480 coming in judgment. As Jesus talked in Matthew twenty four, 207 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.519 he talked about the temple and not one stone will 208 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:32.480 remain upon another, and he talked about the overthrow of 209 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:37.080 the temple, and he was talking about a judgment coming. 210 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.080 What he talked about in Matthew twenty four and Luke 211 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.720 twenty one as a judgment coming. He's talking about the 212 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.679 end of the Mosaic period, and he's talking about judging 213 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:55.919 the Jewish people who have killed the prophets and rejected 214 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.639 the Messiah. That's the coming he's talking about, is a 215 00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.440 coming of judgment. That's Matthew twenty four. That's First Peter. 216 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.600 That's Second Peter three. What we're reading right now, So 217 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.159 you'll notice that they're asking about a coming and a 218 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.039 coming that was promised. Why is the coming promised? Because 219 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.279 the coming, the new believers knew that they can't be 220 00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.279 two temples. The new believers knew, by the Holy Ghost, 221 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.919 there's only going to be one temple, and it's this one, 222 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.000 it's not that one. That one is going to be judged, 223 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.559 and it's going to become obsolete, and it's going to 224 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.039 pass away. This is Hebrews eight, Hebrews nine, et cetera, 225 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.679 et cetera. So and Paul is teaching this. They understood 226 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.799 this to be true. And so this second coming or 227 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.960 this coming of the Lord is a coming in judgment. 228 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.559 So they say, where is this coming that he promised? 229 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.600 Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on like the 230 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.360 beginning of creation. But they deliberately forget that long ago, 231 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.759 by God's word, the heavens came into being, and the 232 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.279 earth was formed out of water and by water, and 233 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.519 by these waters also the world that at that time 234 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.919 was deluged and destroyed. Oh so we're talking about a 235 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.559 delusion and a destruction. We're talking about a coming of judgment. 236 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.759 By that same word, the present heavens and earth are 237 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.840 reserved for fire. 238 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.879 Oh, there's a fire coming. 239 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.720 There's a fire judgment coming, and they are kept for 240 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.000 the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. These 241 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.200 are those who have resisted the Gospel, and they have 242 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.240 crucified the Messiah, and they have put to death the prophets. 243 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.440 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends. A 244 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.159 day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and 245 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.240 a thousand years are. 246 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:39.480 Like a day. 247 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.679 Now he's trying to tell them be patient, be patient, 248 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.759 be patient, be patient. 249 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.320 This is going to happen. Now. He's trying to tell them. 250 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.480 To be patient because there was a great movement in 251 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:54.480 the spirit realm afoot to mislead believers, to draw believers away, 252 00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:00.840 even to draw believers to false profits, even to Christ 253 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:05.039 who would appear and say, come out here, come out here, Oh, the. 254 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.000 Christ is out there. 255 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.799 Because if they could be drawn away at the right hour, 256 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.720 then they would come under the They lose of judgment 257 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.079 that God was using Titus to meet out on Jerusalem, 258 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.640 and were told time and time again that they were 259 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.880 warned so that they would not come under that judgment. 260 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.119 And for Theetsalonians five says, you know the times and 261 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.799 the seasons, you know about this wrath but you are 262 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:33.960 not children in the brath. You're not destined for wrath. 263 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:39.599 The believers were believers who were blessed to be led 264 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.079 of God into a place called Pella. They all went 265 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.079 to a place called Pella, and in that city they were. 266 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:51.240 Delivered and preserved. So but this is these are scriptures. 267 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:57.920 About, you know, the warnings of those things coming. The 268 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.319 Lord is not slow about keeping his promises. Understand slowness. Instead, 269 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.559 he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, 270 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.960 but everyone to come to repentance. 271 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:07.759 But the day of the Lord. 272 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.279 Now, this destruction that came upon the Temple and upon 273 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.400 Jerusalem and the sacrificial system was called the Day of 274 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.920 the Lord as well as it was called the Great Tribulation. 275 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:20.960 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. 276 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:23.920 The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will 277 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.640 be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done 278 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.240 in it laid bare. And it's the focus is not 279 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.400 the global earth that focuses the land. And if you 280 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.720 look at the translations, especially in the Book of Revelation, 281 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.839 you're going to find and in Matthew twenty four, when 282 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.599 it speaks most translators translated the earth, but it's actually 283 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:47.519 the land, and the tribes of the land will see 284 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:51.880 him coming in judgment. It's the Jewish land, it's Israel. 285 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.680 So the day of the Lord will come like a thief. 286 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.200 The heavens will disappear. The heavens will disappear. This refers 287 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:04.839 a lot to where in Deuteronomy thirty two we find 288 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:10.119 a passage about Genesis chapter eleven. In Genesis chapter eleven, 289 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.640 God divides the nations. Genesis nine is the flood. They 290 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.480 come out of the arc, and then there's the table 291 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:23.400 of nations. He divides the nations up and there's like 292 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.720 seventy nations here. But in Genesis chapter eleven, they've rebelled. 293 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:36.119 They've built a temple edifice, a zigarett, a temple edifice, 294 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.279 and they're already seeking false gods in Genesis chapter eleven, 295 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.759 and God comes in the midst of them and he 296 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:51.359 divides them up because they're in rebellion, and he scatters 297 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.039 them across the earth. And when he does this, he 298 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.720 assigns Elohim to them. 299 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:00.799 Eight and nine. 300 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:05.240 There's other passages talk about these lesser gods. Sixty nine 301 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:12.119 Elohim were assigned to these rebellious nations to be governors 302 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.640 over these nations, like the Prince of Persia referred to 303 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.640 in Daniel chapter ten, and like Daniel, and like. 304 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.759 Paul would have referred to. 305 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:31.160 Paul referred to this in Ephesians chapter six ten through eighteen. 306 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:39.720 He understood that these rulers over the nations were the 307 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.480 ones that were being judged, and they were losing their 308 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.119 authority to hold the people. And God was delivering the 309 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:53.200 people out from under these what he called principalities and powers, 310 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:59.960 and Jesus was being exalted in all of the nations 311 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.400 were being brought in to the kingdom. And that was 312 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.200 happening even right here in the beginning, as there was 313 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.480 this initial launch of the Kingdom of Heaven. So this 314 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.519 judgment that was taking place here, it was simultaneous with 315 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:24.079 the exaltation of Jesus the last atom into the heavens. 316 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.000 I shouldn't do it over here, forget my hand, forget 317 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:32.920 Jesus being exalted over here in the heavens. And Revelation 318 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.079 twelve seven through eleven talk about this. Actually, Revelation twelve, 319 00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:42.559 verse one two, it talks about the one third of 320 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:48.079 the angels, and then Revelation twelve seven through eleven talks 321 00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.160 about the war in heaven where the dragon is cast 322 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.480 down and cast out of the heavens. So what we're 323 00:21:55.519 --> 00:22:00.559 seeing is these Elohim who were ruling over the nations. 324 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:06.240 And it says here that only Israel or Jacob was 325 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:12.119 reserved as God's nation. So God reserved And I'm going fast, 326 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:19.680 come to Kingdom School of Transformation, register and we go deep. 327 00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:27.839 But I'm trying to help you. God bless you. So 328 00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.839 if you think about this, think about this, even as 329 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.079 you you know, all of us in our understanding of 330 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.640 the Old Testament, what we see is Israel against the nations, 331 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:42.720 and all the nations against Israel. We see Jehovah or 332 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:46.440 Yahweh against all of the gods, and all of the 333 00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:50.359 gods against Yahweh. It's because all of the other nations, 334 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.400 the elohem that they were turned over to, were apostate. 335 00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:01.599 They turned apostate, they turned against God, they governed in unrighteousness, 336 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.960 and they led the nations into idolatry so that they 337 00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.400 could control them. And they led them apostate, into witchcraft 338 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.680 and into Satanism and everything that was unclean. All right 339 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.960 with me, so far, and so even here in two Peter, 340 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.160 where he says that this judgment that's going to take 341 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.400 place as Christ is exalted, there's a judgment not only 342 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:31.519 on Israel, but everything is being shaken. And the full 343 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:36.079 consummation of the exaltation of the second atom, the last atom, 344 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:41.440 as he comes into his glory, is that those elo him. 345 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.599 And they were called in the Bible. In many places, 346 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.319 they were called the stars, they were called the host 347 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:54.240 of heaven. For instance, in Deuteronomy seventeen, they're instructed, do 348 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:58.720 not bow down to the host of heaven. And so 349 00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:01.839 look at that. You can see that. So what we 350 00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:06.359 see is that in this judgment of the exaltation of Jesus, 351 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:12.759 those Elohim were cast down. They were judged because of 352 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.960 the way they led the nations. They were judged and 353 00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:21.119 cast down. And now Jesus begins to plunder the lost 354 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:24.720 out of every nation, and he begins to bring all 355 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:28.759 of them into the kingdom. And it's really a reverse 356 00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:33.319 of Babel. Even the day of Pentecost was a reverse. 357 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.880 Today's the day of Pentecost by the one everybody shouts 358 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:45.960 shabbat this this is the fiftieth day after Passover. Even 359 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.960 the Day of Pentecost was I shouldn't say even. I mean, 360 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:56.400 the Day of Pentecost was a reverse of Babel, reverse 361 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:01.440 of Babel. And it's we're told in Acts chapter two. 362 00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:07.359 We're told in Acts chapter two even that there were 363 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:14.200 people there from every nation under the sun. Acts chapter two, 364 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.680 verse five. Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout 365 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.680 men from every nation under heaven. 366 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.880 Did you hear that? Now here's the deal. 367 00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:33.039 Back here in about eighty thirty two, Jesus is giving 368 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.279 them this warning. He's telling them what's coming. It might 369 00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:39.519 have been eighty thirty two point five. It was someone there. 370 00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.839 He's giving them all the warnings. That's Matthew twenty three, 371 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:44.559 Matthew twenty four, Luke twenty one. 372 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:46.039 We're going to read it in a minute. 373 00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:51.319 He's giving them all these warnings over here, and he's 374 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:57.000 telling them that first the Gospel has to go out 375 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:06.440 to every nation, and then the end will come. We're 376 00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.759 over here waiting for the Gospel to go out to 377 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:11.720 every nation and then the end will come. 378 00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.359 Thinking that's a sign of the end. It's not. It 379 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.480 was a sign of this end. 380 00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:26.519 Before the Temple was destroyed, God was re enacting a 381 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.519 very well choreographed reverse babble. 382 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.599 And through the dispersing of. 383 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:42.480 Israel earlier, through their sins in the every nation, God 384 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.000 had seeded Jewish people in every nation on the globe. 385 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.680 They had come together for Passover, and they had lingered 386 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.440 with their family through Pentecost. On the day of Pentecost, 387 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:01.519 which is the same exact day that God visited Moses 388 00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:05.960 on Mount Sinai with fire and gave him the Law. 389 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:10.759 On the same exact day on Pentecost, God visits the 390 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.720 one hundred and twenty in the upper room and pours 391 00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:23.279 out fire and an indwelling word and a glory that 392 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:28.400 they couldn't hide under a veil. This is the day 393 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.119 of Pentecost, and he launches the church. And then he 394 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:37.279 pours them out into the crowd. And in the crowd 395 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.000 there is somebody there from every nation under the sun. 396 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.640 And they all hear them speaking of the glories of 397 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:51.079 God and the resurrection of Jesus in their own tongue. 398 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:51.799 Guess what. 399 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.599 Then they all went home. Then they all went home. 400 00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:01.279 They went to Africa, They went to they went to 401 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.000
