We post at the start of each
7
00:00:28,600 –> 00:00:31,500
week for you to listen.
With a short intro beforehand to
8
00:00:31,500 –> 00:00:33,400
kind of set the stage for the
talk, you’re about to hear.
9
00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:35,800
And now let’s hear more about
this week’s talk.
10
00:00:44,800 –> 00:00:46,800
Hey Chris hey Levi.
How you doing?
11
00:00:49,800 –> 00:00:53,100
I’ve gotten an answer for that
over the over this week at work.
12
00:00:53,100 –> 00:00:56,800
It’s as good as I can be doing.
That’s my answer.
13
00:00:56,900 –> 00:00:58,900
You go.
My answer has been stay safe and
14
00:00:58,900 –> 00:01:01,300
stay sane has been has been the
goal every day.
15
00:01:02,800 –> 00:01:05,500
Yeah, it’s just a very still a
very strange time.
16
00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:13,100
We were recording this one
together because we had the idea
17
00:01:13,100 –> 00:01:17,200
to post an expectation that
someone had given just recently.
18
00:01:17,500 –> 00:01:21,200
So we’re doing Richard Morgan
who exhorted it.
19
00:01:21,208 –> 00:01:26,700
Simi Hills on March 29th and
it’s kind of been funny.
20
00:01:26,900 –> 00:01:28,700
Simi Hills has kept their live
stream going.
21
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:32,500
You usually attend?
Verdugo Hills and I am I am a
22
00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:34,400
member at Simi Hills but
actually have been attending
23
00:01:34,400 –> 00:01:36,500
Korea town for a couple of years
which is the Los Angeles,
24
00:01:36,500 –> 00:01:40,700
Hispanic meeting, but it feels
like Simi Hills has decided to
25
00:01:40,700 –> 00:01:43,100
continue with this live stream
which has been helpful for a
26
00:01:43,107 –> 00:01:45,300
bunch of meetings.
A bunch of Ecclesia is nearby in
27
00:01:45,300 –> 00:01:48,300
Southern California?
Yeah, it’s been awesome.
28
00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:51,300
One of the fun little quirks
that I’ve been doing with the
29
00:01:51,300 –> 00:01:53,800
live stream is in addition to I
like to take notes and jot
30
00:01:53,800 –> 00:01:55,900
things down while I’m listening
helps me to focus during the
31
00:01:55,900 –> 00:01:58,600
excitation, but one of the
things I do because I have a
32
00:01:59,100 –> 00:02:03,000
airplane, the video from My iPad
up onto the screen.
33
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:06,400
Is I glance every once in awhile
at what the live stream number,
34
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:08,800
is because the the stream tells
you that.
35
00:02:09,500 –> 00:02:14,800
So, like for this excitation the
max was 113 viewers.
36
00:02:14,800 –> 00:02:17,700
But for a lot of those viewers,
there’s multiple people.
37
00:02:17,700 –> 00:02:19,500
So like, for at our house, it’s
one viewer.
38
00:02:19,500 –> 00:02:21,600
But there’s technically five
people in the house, right?
39
00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:23,700
So just kind of gives you.
I just kind of like the idea of,
40
00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:25,400
you know, you’re sitting there
in your living room with just,
41
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:28,900
you know, just your family but
looking at that and then you can
42
00:02:28,900 –> 00:02:32,500
just kind of guesstimate on the
numbers but you No, it’s almost
43
00:02:32,500 –> 00:02:35,100
as big as a Bible School in some
cases, the number of people that
44
00:02:35,100 –> 00:02:37,900
are all streaming with you at
the same time which I just think
45
00:02:37,900 –> 00:02:39,700
it’s kind of cool especially
with everyone kind of feeling
46
00:02:39,700 –> 00:02:41,000
like you’re kind of isolated
right now.
47
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:45,300
Definitely unifying feeling it’s
confusing actually because I you
48
00:02:45,300 –> 00:02:48,500
can go on there you can go.
So Simi Hills has a Vimeo page
49
00:02:49,700 –> 00:02:53,200
and it will actually show like
between five and seven hundred
50
00:02:53,200 –> 00:02:55,600
views on each of these
exhortations last few weeks.
51
00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:58,300
So I don’t understand the
numbers on that.
52
00:02:59,500 –> 00:03:01,400
I think might be like, people
logging in and out.
53
00:03:01,900 –> 00:03:04,700
Anyways, we’re kind of jumping
or kind of fallen off topic.
54
00:03:04,700 –> 00:03:06,900
That this was a great
excitation.
55
00:03:07,900 –> 00:03:10,500
So I was actually in the room
because I was reading, my
56
00:03:10,500 –> 00:03:13,200
brother was reading and my
father was presiding will.
57
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:14,800
Richard was Richard, was there
exhorting?
58
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:18,200
So it was, It was obviously a
bit, you know, a pleasure to
59
00:03:18,600 –> 00:03:21,200
experience this education in
person listening to Richard and
60
00:03:21,200 –> 00:03:25,300
he was so such a blessing that
Luke 21 was our third portion
61
00:03:25,300 –> 00:03:28,500
reading on that Sunday.
That’s a, you know, a beautiful
62
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:31,500
chapter, which is what he
focused on the Olivet prophecy.
63
00:03:31,600 –> 00:03:33,400
See.
And you know what?
64
00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:37,500
We’ve been quoting about about
fear and all that lately.
65
00:03:37,500 –> 00:03:39,500
So is excellent.
Excellent expectation.
66
00:03:39,600 –> 00:03:41,800
What were your, what were your
notes from that exhort?
67
00:03:42,100 –> 00:03:46,300
So I really enjoyed it.
It was one of those a really
68
00:03:46,300 –> 00:03:48,500
practical way of looking at
prophecy.
69
00:03:48,500 –> 00:03:51,900
So you know the Olivet prophecy
is one that we already
70
00:03:51,900 –> 00:03:54,200
identified as being one of those
dual prophecies, right?
71
00:03:54,200 –> 00:03:56,900
It’s prophecy about 80 70 and
about what’s going to happen
72
00:03:56,900 –> 00:03:58,600
when the Romans conquered
Jerusalem.
73
00:03:58,600 –> 00:04:00,700
And he spent some time looking
at some of those things.
74
00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:05,600
And Talking about what the
people in Jerusalem would have
75
00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:07,900
experienced and what that would
have been like for the Believers
76
00:04:07,900 –> 00:04:10,800
that were in the city at the
time, who would have seen Luke,
77
00:04:11,100 –> 00:04:13,400
Luke 21, and read those
passages.
78
00:04:13,400 –> 00:04:16,600
And then applied that.
And then at the same time, how
79
00:04:16,600 –> 00:04:20,000
that applies to our time,
Richard made the really good
80
00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:22,900
point that, you know, we don’t
know if this is the end times
81
00:04:22,900 –> 00:04:26,200
yet, but if it is I think, you
know, we mentioned the last time
82
00:04:26,200 –> 00:04:28,400
you and I were talking together,
if this isn’t it, this is very
83
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,000
much what it could be like for
us.
84
00:04:31,500 –> 00:04:34,200
Yeah, he made, he made the exact
same kind of the exact same
85
00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:38,000
point that we had said last
time, we talked just like, if
86
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:39,600
this isn’t it.
This is what this, this is what
87
00:04:39,600 –> 00:04:41,500
it looks like.
Anyways, this is a great
88
00:04:41,500 –> 00:04:44,700
expectation, I think happy to
share with people.
89
00:04:45,100 –> 00:04:48,300
You had the idea to post this on
Saturday night for people to use
90
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:52,200
on Sunday if they are you.
No not at their normal meeting.
91
00:04:52,900 –> 00:04:55,800
So some excited to say to share
this with everybody.
92
00:04:56,800 –> 00:04:59,500
Yeah, and the I wanted to
highlight one more thing.
93
00:04:59,500 –> 00:05:02,200
Just that Richard had mentioned
that I thought was kind of the
94
00:05:02,600 –> 00:05:04,800
what I felt was kind of his call
to action from this expectation
95
00:05:04,800 –> 00:05:08,600
and that was kind of the the
what Christ says to his
96
00:05:08,600 –> 00:05:11,800
disciples at the end of Luke 21,
right about watching being on
97
00:05:11,800 –> 00:05:13,700
guard.
You know, basically what he
98
00:05:13,700 –> 00:05:16,500
says, it’s in Luke 21:36 and I
kind of have this all like
99
00:05:16,500 –> 00:05:19,200
highlighted and underlined in my
notes right?
100
00:05:19,200 –> 00:05:23,100
Is he tells them to stay awake,
pray and have strength, which I
101
00:05:23,100 –> 00:05:27,600
feel is a very good expectation
and You’re for all of us
102
00:05:28,100 –> 00:05:31,600
especially right now and it’s
what’s amazing is that, you
103
00:05:31,600 –> 00:05:36,200
know, Jesus was saying this to
them as he was going to go pray
104
00:05:36,500 –> 00:05:38,900
to God, just before he went
through the crucifixion, but he
105
00:05:38,900 –> 00:05:42,200
was giving them their last
little bit of advice on.
106
00:05:42,200 –> 00:05:46,000
This is what you need to do to
see yourself through the times
107
00:05:46,000 –> 00:05:48,800
that we are about to experience
the same kind of thing for us.
108
00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:52,000
Now, all the emotions that
Christ might have gone through
109
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:54,000
during the time, when he was in
The Garden of Gethsemane, to be
110
00:05:54,000 –> 00:05:58,000
crucified, all the emotions that
those During Jerusalem for 8070,
111
00:05:58,000 –> 00:06:02,500
we’re going through and not to
make living at home during the
112
00:06:02,500 –> 00:06:05,600
quarantine feel like a Siege of
Jerusalem by the Roman army.
113
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:09,200
But the same thing kind of the
wave of emotions that many of us
114
00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:11,600
have felt during the uncertainty
in the craziness of everything
115
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:16,700
that’s going on right now.
Yeah, it’s a yeah, it’s there’s
116
00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:20,700
a strong call to action.
I sorted it, Simi Hills, just
117
00:06:20,700 –> 00:06:23,500
this last last Sunday and kind
of referred back to his station
118
00:06:23,500 –> 00:06:26,300
twice, because it was a, it was
really excellent.
119
00:06:26,300 –> 00:06:30,100
So, here it is.
Richard Morgan on Luke next
120
00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:32,900
station, and Luke 21 from March
9th.
121
00:06:35,900 –> 00:06:37,500
Well, a very good morning to
everyone.
122
00:06:37,500 –> 00:06:41,100
The the jello family that here
with me to this morning in the
123
00:06:41,108 –> 00:06:44,300
hall and everyone who is
watching on the live feed.
124
00:06:45,700 –> 00:06:49,700
Perhaps, brothers, and sisters
during this time of uncertainty
125
00:06:49,700 –> 00:06:53,900
as Jeff mentioned, and of
anxiety fear, whatever.
126
00:06:53,900 –> 00:06:58,100
Emotion that we’re feeling maybe
our forts have gone to this,
127
00:06:58,100 –> 00:07:03,700
Olivet prophecy and particular.
Those verses that I was going to
128
00:07:03,700 –> 00:07:10,000
call you Luke that Levites
Thread in verses 25 and 26 about
129
00:07:10,000 –> 00:07:13,900
distress of Nations.
Perplexity men’s Hearts, failing
130
00:07:13,900 –> 00:07:17,500
them for fear and maybe that’s
what we’re thinking that we’re
131
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,400
on the verge of or we’re right
in the middle of right now.
132
00:07:20,900 –> 00:07:23,300
So what we want to do by way of
X or teaching this morning
133
00:07:23,300 –> 00:07:26,700
brother and sisters as have a
look at what Jesus says in this
134
00:07:26,700 –> 00:07:30,400
Olivet prophecy and see his
exhortation that comes out for
135
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:34,600
it and see how it can encourage
Us in these very difficult
136
00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:37,700
times.
Now the Olivet prophecy itself
137
00:07:37,700 –> 00:07:42,300
can be roughly divided into two
halves the first half.
138
00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:48,300
Jesus details events leading up
to ad 70 and then he talks about
139
00:07:48,300 –> 00:07:53,100
and any kind of parallels ad 70,
which was the end of the Jewish
140
00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:59,100
World with the end of the
Gentile World, which is the days
141
00:07:59,100 –> 00:08:01,800
in which way living we’re living
times, which are going to lead
142
00:08:01,800 –> 00:08:05,600
up to the end of this world, as
we know it.
143
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,700
And we can learn a lot of
lessons from what happened in ad
144
00:08:09,700 –> 00:08:13,000
70 and apply them to ourselves
today.
145
00:08:13,500 –> 00:08:17,500
So let’s start by having a look
down in verse 10 here, where
146
00:08:17,500 –> 00:08:21,400
Jesus talks about events which
would lead up to that
147
00:08:21,600 –> 00:08:25,400
cataclysmic.
Time of AD 70, when the Roman
148
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:30,700
armies came surrounded Jerusalem
besieged it and eventually
149
00:08:30,900 –> 00:08:35,700
destroyed the temple destroyed
the city killed, a huge amount
150
00:08:35,700 –> 00:08:39,500
of Jews who are in that city of
that time and led the rest away
151
00:08:39,500 –> 00:08:43,000
captive and that was the end of
the Jewish World.
152
00:08:43,600 –> 00:08:47,800
So he says in verse 10, he said
to the nation will rise against
153
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:49,700
nation and Kingdom against
Kingdom.
154
00:08:49,900 –> 00:08:53,400
There will be great earthquakes
and in various places famines
155
00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:57,700
and pestilences and it will be
Terrors and great signs from
156
00:08:57,700 –> 00:09:00,400
heaven.
But before all this, they will
157
00:09:00,400 –> 00:09:02,900
lay their hands on you.
And now, you can see that this
158
00:09:02,900 –> 00:09:05,800
is talking about ad 70, because
it’s talking about what.
159
00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:11,300
The Disciples of the Lord Jesus
Christ would experience between
160
00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:14,600
what he says.
Now, in the Olivet prophecy and
161
00:09:14,800 –> 00:09:17,500
the outworking of it, the
initial outworking of it at 80
162
00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:20,000
70.
He says, all before all this,
163
00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:23,100
they will lay their hands on
you, you disciples and
164
00:09:23,100 –> 00:09:27,400
persecute, you delivering you up
to synagogues and prisons, and
165
00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:30,800
you will be brought before Kings
and governors for my name’s
166
00:09:30,800 –> 00:09:36,400
sake, Now, look what he says in
verse 13 because up until now
167
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:41,400
it’s all doom and gloom, but in
verse 13, Jesus flips it around.
168
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:43,500
He says, look at the positives
of all.
169
00:09:43,500 –> 00:09:48,400
This verse 13 says, this will be
your opportunity to Bear
170
00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:51,300
Witness.
Now, what a wonderful thing.
171
00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:52,800
Our Lord Jesus Christ says
there.
172
00:09:52,800 –> 00:09:56,500
This will be your opportunity.
This is an opportunity for you.
173
00:09:56,500 –> 00:10:02,300
God is opening a door for you to
Bear witness and maybe we can
174
00:10:02,900 –> 00:10:05,400
allay some of the anxiety that
we might feel.
175
00:10:05,400 –> 00:10:09,100
At this time, brothers and
sisters, by flipping it around.
176
00:10:09,100 –> 00:10:14,300
And seeing what has God given to
us in these difficult times?
177
00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:19,500
Is this an opportunity for us?
Is the whole world is paused.
178
00:10:20,900 –> 00:10:27,000
And we have time now to pause at
home with our families, maybe
179
00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:32,200
with more time, on our hands to
reflect to do some introspection
180
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:36,500
to spend more time with our
families to figure out whether
181
00:10:36,500 –> 00:10:40,200
we are true, Brothers and
Sisters of the Lord, Jesus
182
00:10:40,200 –> 00:10:45,000
Christ and preparing our hearts
and Minds for the return of our
183
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:47,400
Lord.
And maybe this is an opportunity
184
00:10:47,400 –> 00:10:50,600
that God has given to us,
brothers and sisters to do.
185
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:57,300
That to prepare ourselves to get
our minds in the right frame.
186
00:10:57,500 –> 00:11:00,500
In order to welcome our Lord
when he returns.
187
00:11:03,100 –> 00:11:05,400
And then in verse 14, he says,
settle it there for on your
188
00:11:05,400 –> 00:11:08,700
minds, not to meditate before.
Had to answer for, I will give
189
00:11:08,700 –> 00:11:12,600
you a mouth and wisdom which
none of your adversaries will be
190
00:11:12,600 –> 00:11:16,500
able to withstand or contradict.
Now I want us to keep in mind,
191
00:11:16,500 –> 00:11:19,800
that would adversaries there
what we’re going to have a look
192
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:23,800
at in our excitation brother and
sisters is how Luke in his
193
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:29,600
gospel record keeps referring
back to things which Jesus said
194
00:11:29,600 –> 00:11:33,900
previously, So he talks here
about adversaries, you only uses
195
00:11:33,900 –> 00:11:37,700
this word twice in his gospel
record will look at the other
196
00:11:37,800 –> 00:11:40,000
occurrence a little bit later
on.
197
00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:44,300
And here, he tells his disciples
that they’re going to be able to
198
00:11:44,300 –> 00:11:49,200
say things in witnessing that
those adversaries are not going
199
00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:52,500
to be able to withstand and
we’re going to see an actual
200
00:11:52,500 –> 00:11:58,500
example of Jesus doing that very
thing witnessing and confounding
201
00:11:58,500 –> 00:12:00,500
his adversaries earlier on in
Luke.
202
00:12:02,500 –> 00:12:06,000
And it says, then in verse 16
you will be delivered up even by
203
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:08,100
parents and brothers and
relatives and friends.
204
00:12:08,100 –> 00:12:10,500
And some of you they will put to
death.
205
00:12:11,700 –> 00:12:13,200
Some of you, they will put the
death.
206
00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:16,500
So Jesus doesn’t beat about the
bush here.
207
00:12:16,500 –> 00:12:22,100
He says, some of you will suffer
during this time You will be put
208
00:12:22,100 –> 00:12:25,900
to death.
And as Jeff said in his opening
209
00:12:25,900 –> 00:12:29,400
remarks maybe the worst will
happen to us during this time.
210
00:12:29,400 –> 00:12:32,500
We don’t know.
But look what Jesus then says in
211
00:12:32,500 –> 00:12:36,800
verse 17 you will be hated by
all but for my namesake but
212
00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:43,000
Despite all of this, not a hair
of your head will perish.
213
00:12:44,100 –> 00:12:47,200
By your endurance, you will gain
your lives.
214
00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:51,700
This is the message of Jesus, to
his followers and message of of
215
00:12:51,700 –> 00:12:55,100
reassurance.
That not ahead, a hair of your
216
00:12:55,100 –> 00:12:57,700
head will perish, you will gain
your lives.
217
00:12:57,800 –> 00:13:00,900
Now, when we look at verse 16,
it says some of you are they
218
00:13:00,900 –> 00:13:03,200
will put the death that seems
like a contradiction.
219
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:05,000
You’re going to die but you
won’t perish.
220
00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:07,500
I think what the Lord Jesus
Christ is saying their brothers
221
00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:11,000
and sisters.
Is that not even death?
222
00:13:12,800 –> 00:13:20,800
Is it enemy too strong for God?
Despite some of you dying.
223
00:13:23,100 –> 00:13:26,600
Death will be conquered.
And that’s what we come to
224
00:13:26,608 –> 00:13:28,900
remember this morning in the
bread and the cup is it brother
225
00:13:28,900 –> 00:13:32,100
and sisters?
How our Lord Jesus Christ was
226
00:13:32,300 –> 00:13:36,000
put to death.
But now he is at God’s right
227
00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:39,900
hand and death has been
vanquished by a Lord.
228
00:13:39,900 –> 00:13:44,100
And that’s the encouragement for
us brothers and sisters as we go
229
00:13:44,100 –> 00:13:49,200
through these difficult times.
So then he says in verse 20 and
230
00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:53,200
this is the main sign that was
there for the followers of Our
231
00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:55,400
Lord in ad 70, it says in verse
20.
232
00:13:55,400 –> 00:14:00,800
But when you see Jerusalem
surrounded by armies, then know
233
00:14:00,800 –> 00:14:04,100
that it’s desolation, has come
near.
234
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:09,000
So Jesus here enlightens the
eyes of those who would listen
235
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:12,000
to his message.
And it’s interesting because
236
00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:15,300
then he says in verse 21 that
those who are in Judea flee to
237
00:14:15,300 –> 00:14:18,300
the mountains.
So this was an opportunity Jesus
238
00:14:18,300 –> 00:14:21,300
gave them to escape.
And what happened in ad 70?
239
00:14:21,300 –> 00:14:25,300
Is that the Romans initially
came, they surrounded, the city
240
00:14:25,300 –> 00:14:29,600
for a short period of time but
then they left and what Jesus is
241
00:14:29,608 –> 00:14:33,100
saying to them is when that
happens, that’s your opportunity
242
00:14:33,100 –> 00:14:36,400
to flee to the mountains.
And if they had ears to hear,
243
00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:41,600
they would heed that message and
obey the sign that Jesus gave
244
00:14:41,600 –> 00:14:45,600
them and they would Escape.
But if they had fallen asleep,
245
00:14:45,600 –> 00:14:48,100
spiritually speaking at this
point and thought, well,
246
00:14:48,100 –> 00:14:50,100
everything’s going to be fine
now.
247
00:14:50,800 –> 00:14:54,800
Well, the Roman armies came back
sometime later and then they
248
00:14:54,800 –> 00:14:58,600
stayed and they came back
brothers and sisters at about
249
00:14:58,600 –> 00:15:03,500
this time of year.
The time of Passover when many
250
00:15:03,500 –> 00:15:08,000
many Jews had flocked into
Jerusalem from the four corners
251
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:11,900
of the world.
And it was a strategic element
252
00:15:11,900 –> 00:15:17,500
of the Romans to do this to trap
many Jews in the city of
253
00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:22,300
Jerusalem.
And here they are in me if you
254
00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:26,600
like it, enforced, quarantine
surrounded by armies surrounded,
255
00:15:26,600 –> 00:15:33,000
by the Roman power.
And the end now had come.
256
00:15:33,700 –> 00:15:39,600
And so, it says, in verse 24,
They will fall by the edge of
257
00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:43,200
the sword and that’s what
happened to many, many Jews
258
00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:47,200
Josephus estimates that there
were 1.1 million Jews as
259
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:50,900
probably an over exaggeration.
But most of the Jews in the city
260
00:15:50,900 –> 00:15:54,400
did for at the hands of the
Romans.
261
00:15:55,600 –> 00:15:57,500
And that the hands of other
people would talk about that in
262
00:15:57,500 –> 00:15:59,700
a moment.
So they will fall by the edge of
263
00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:02,800
The Sword and the rest of them.
It says, in verse 24 will be led
264
00:16:02,900 –> 00:16:09,100
captive, among all nations, and
this present sisters was the end
265
00:16:09,100 –> 00:16:12,800
of the world for the Jews.
This was the Fulfillment of
266
00:16:12,800 –> 00:16:17,400
those curses that are outlined
in Leviticus chapter 26, in
267
00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:21,200
Deuteronomy chapter 28, her,
they would be scattered among
268
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:24,400
the Nations and even amongst
those Nations, they would
269
00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:27,600
suffer.
And so, all of these things now
270
00:16:27,600 –> 00:16:31,000
are going to come to pass and
Jerusalem verse halfway through
271
00:16:31,000 –> 00:16:37,100
verse 24 will be trampled,
underfoot by the Gentiles until
272
00:16:37,100 –> 00:16:40,400
the times of the Gentiles are
fulfilled.
273
00:16:41,100 –> 00:16:44,900
And now, Jesus is going to turn
his attention to those times of
274
00:16:44,900 –> 00:16:47,800
the Gentiles.
But what he’s going to say is
275
00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:52,000
that whereas the Jewish world
came to an end, and I was
276
00:16:52,000 –> 00:16:57,400
replaced by the Gentile times.
There’s a parallel and he says
277
00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:01,400
just as the Jewish world came to
an end, so the Gentile world
278
00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:04,800
will come to an end.
And that’s what he’s going to
279
00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:09,099
outline now in the rest of the
Olivet prophecy.
280
00:17:10,300 –> 00:17:14,000
So we can learn some lessons, we
can learn lessons from ad 70.
281
00:17:14,300 –> 00:17:17,200
Look at the end of the Jewish
World, look at some of the
282
00:17:17,200 –> 00:17:20,300
things that the people
experienced and and analyze.
283
00:17:20,300 –> 00:17:22,800
Some of the emotions that are
must have been going through
284
00:17:22,800 –> 00:17:26,000
them and we can apply that
brother and sisters to our
285
00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:33,200
situation today.
So Jesus says in verse 25 now in
286
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:37,000
relation to the end of the
Gentile world, he says in verse
287
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:42,500
25, there will be signs in sun
and moon and stars and on the
288
00:17:42,500 –> 00:17:48,100
earth distress of Nations notice
Nations plural, there’s not just
289
00:17:48,100 –> 00:17:51,200
now distress and that would
distress by the way, is a
290
00:17:51,200 –> 00:17:56,400
synonym for anxiety, anxiety of
Nations plural.
291
00:17:58,900 –> 00:18:00,600
The coronavirus brothers
sisters.
292
00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:07,300
The last time I looked was in
160 over 160 nations of the
293
00:18:07,300 –> 00:18:11,400
world, that’s incredible.
And our lifetime.
294
00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:15,700
We haven’t seen anything like
this and we are seeing distress
295
00:18:15,700 –> 00:18:17,100
of Nations.
Aren’t we Brothers?
296
00:18:17,100 –> 00:18:20,800
Whether this coronavirus were
experiencing now is what verse
297
00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:23,200
25 years talking about.
Well we don’t know in hindsight
298
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:26,300
will know but we are seeing
distress of Nations.
299
00:18:26,300 –> 00:18:30,200
We are seeing how these signs at
least could come to pass.
300
00:18:32,900 –> 00:18:38,000
Which is through this tiny
invisible protein that invades
301
00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:42,600
the human body that that can
bring the world to its knees.
302
00:18:42,600 –> 00:18:47,500
It’s an incredible thing.
And so if we question, whether
303
00:18:47,500 –> 00:18:49,900
this ever could come to pass
well, now we understand brother
304
00:18:49,900 –> 00:18:55,600
and sisters, it could distress
of Nations anxiety of nations in
305
00:18:55,600 –> 00:18:58,400
perplexity.
That’s an even stronger word for
306
00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:00,700
anxiety.
The idea behind the word
307
00:19:00,700 –> 00:19:05,000
perplexity is that there is No
Way Out.
308
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:11,500
No Way Out.
Now just think about the Jews in
309
00:19:11,600 –> 00:19:17,000
ad 70 and how that’s applicable
to them to no way out.
310
00:19:17,900 –> 00:19:20,800
You know, you’re in you’re in
Jerusalem and you’re surrounded
311
00:19:20,800 –> 00:19:23,900
by the Romans.
The superpower of the day, there
312
00:19:23,900 –> 00:19:29,300
is no way out.
And there was no way out and
313
00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:34,300
everyone was either killed or
scattered throughout the Earth.
314
00:19:35,000 –> 00:19:40,700
So it says in verse 26, people
fainting with fear all.
315
00:19:40,700 –> 00:19:43,500
Sorry, before we get to that, we
haven’t read the end of verse
316
00:19:43,500 –> 00:19:46,300
25.
Distress of nations with
317
00:19:46,300 –> 00:19:49,300
perplexity because of the
Roaring and a c.
318
00:19:49,300 –> 00:19:50,600
In the ways.
I didn’t want to forget this
319
00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:53,400
point brother and sisters
because of the Roaring of the
320
00:19:53,400 –> 00:19:56,400
Sea and the waves.
Now they’re Jesus is using
321
00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,000
symbolic language, isn’t he?
Although there may be a physical
322
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:02,600
element to this.
They may be at the time of the
323
00:20:02,600 –> 00:20:05,800
coming of the Lord and increase
in earthquakes and tsunamis,
324
00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:08,600
there may be a literal roaring
of the Sea and the waves.
325
00:20:08,900 –> 00:20:12,900
But really, what Jesus is doing
there is using symbolic language
326
00:20:12,900 –> 00:20:15,900
to describe the sort.
Of emotion.
327
00:20:15,900 –> 00:20:20,400
That’s going through people at
the time of the end, the Roaring
328
00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:24,400
of the Sea and the waves and you
can you can have that image in
329
00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:28,200
your hair to describe what it’s
like in the last days.
330
00:20:29,400 –> 00:20:32,400
But what’s really interesting
about this brother and sisters?
331
00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:36,500
Is that what Jesus is doing by
saying the Roaring of the Sea?
332
00:20:36,500 –> 00:20:41,300
And the waves is, he’s really
alluding to that Psalm that we
333
00:20:41,300 –> 00:20:45,700
had read earlier.
It’s quite intriguing what Jesus
334
00:20:45,700 –> 00:20:48,600
is doing here.
So, keep in Barker in Luke and
335
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:57,900
just turn with me back to Psalm
65, and Jesus is quoting from
336
00:20:57,900 –> 00:21:01,900
Psalm 65, and it’s a really
interesting context that he
337
00:21:01,908 –> 00:21:07,800
quotes from.
The Discerning ear would pick up
338
00:21:07,800 –> 00:21:11,000
on this Echo and think, well,
isn’t that interesting?
339
00:21:12,100 –> 00:21:14,300
Because I have a look, what some
65 is all about.
340
00:21:14,300 –> 00:21:20,400
It says in verse 5, by awesome
Deeds you answer us with
341
00:21:20,400 –> 00:21:24,800
righteousness o God of our
salvation.
342
00:21:25,900 –> 00:21:29,400
And what this Psalm is all about
brothers sisters, is that God of
343
00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:34,600
our Salvation Jesus is alluding
to the solution of a problem.
344
00:21:35,500 –> 00:21:38,800
The whereas the nations are in
distress in perplexity, whereas
345
00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:41,200
the nation, see there is no way
out.
346
00:21:43,000 –> 00:21:45,800
Listen says well, yes, actually,
there is a way out.
347
00:21:47,200 –> 00:21:48,700
Through the god of our
Salvation.
348
00:21:49,300 –> 00:21:52,300
It says, in verse 5 there that
God of our Salvation is, the
349
00:21:52,300 –> 00:21:58,800
hope of all the ends of the
Earth, a God, who is not just
350
00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:02,200
interested in the city of
Jerusalem, and the Jews in ad
351
00:22:02,200 –> 00:22:05,400
70.
But he’s the God of all the ends
352
00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:11,000
of the Earth.
The god of the father sees.
353
00:22:13,300 –> 00:22:18,300
God is keenly interested in well
over the hundred and sixty
354
00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:21,700
Nations that are suffering from
the coronavirus at this point.
355
00:22:23,600 –> 00:22:28,700
If he is the solution, he is the
one verse 6, who by his strength
356
00:22:28,700 –> 00:22:33,000
established, the mountains being
girded with might and it’s the
357
00:22:33,000 –> 00:22:36,600
great and awesome God Of Heaven,
brother and sisters who is in
358
00:22:36,600 –> 00:22:41,100
control of this situation.
And we have nothing to fear.
359
00:22:41,300 –> 00:22:47,600
And it says, in verse 7 that he
Stills, and here’s the words
360
00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:51,400
that Jesus was alluding to.
He Stills The Roaring of the
361
00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:58,900
Seas, the Roar Of their waves,
the tumult of the peoples and
362
00:22:58,900 –> 00:23:03,200
their the psalm itself
interprets the, the figurative
363
00:23:03,200 –> 00:23:05,600
language of the Roaring of the
Sea and the waves.
364
00:23:05,600 –> 00:23:11,200
It’s the tumult of the peoples
in distress in perplexity, but
365
00:23:11,200 –> 00:23:15,300
the god of the father sees the
God of all the end of the Earth.
366
00:23:16,400 –> 00:23:21,000
Can still the tumult of the
people’s.
367
00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:27,400
Verse 8, so that those who dwell
at the ends of the Earth
368
00:23:28,200 –> 00:23:34,500
everywhere, over the whole earth
are in awe at your signs because
369
00:23:34,500 –> 00:23:37,400
it’s those signs that Jesus is
bringing out in the Olivet
370
00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:40,600
prophecy and the end of verse 8
says, you make the going out of
371
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:44,500
the morning and the evening to
shout for joy.
372
00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:51,000
So here’s the end of the story,
a shout for joy.
373
00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:54,900
We know the end of the story
brothers and sisters in, right
374
00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:58,100
in the midst of that.
Doom and Gloom prophecy in
375
00:23:58,100 –> 00:24:01,300
verses, 25, and 26.
And so, on of the elevator,
376
00:24:01,300 –> 00:24:06,100
Olivet prophecy as we return
back to Luke 21, and the midst
377
00:24:06,100 –> 00:24:11,200
of all this language about
distress, anxiety, and so forth.
378
00:24:12,000 –> 00:24:16,100
Jesus alludes.
To the end of the story and the
379
00:24:16,100 –> 00:24:21,000
solution to the problem, there
will be a shout for Joy.
380
00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:23,800
That’s what we’re leading up to
brothers and sisters.
381
00:24:25,300 –> 00:24:28,300
So, come back with me to Luke
chapter 21.
382
00:24:30,600 –> 00:24:35,300
Carry on in verse 26, people
fainting with fear?
383
00:24:36,300 –> 00:24:40,000
King James says, men’s Hearts,
failing them for fear for those
384
00:24:40,000 –> 00:24:41,600
things that are coming on the
world.
385
00:24:42,000 –> 00:24:47,600
So people fainting with fear and
with foreboding, That’s a really
386
00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:49,600
good translation of their
foreboding.
387
00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:54,200
That’s that sense that we have
that horrible feeling we have
388
00:24:54,700 –> 00:24:59,000
when our, when I stomach just
like feels all scrunched up and
389
00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:01,900
and awful that the sense that
something is coming.
390
00:25:02,500 –> 00:25:05,500
We don’t know when it’s coming,
but it’s coming and maybe you
391
00:25:05,500 –> 00:25:08,500
have that sense of foreboding
now, brothers and sisters, you
392
00:25:08,500 –> 00:25:11,000
know, you read the news and you
see the number of people being
393
00:25:11,000 –> 00:25:14,500
affected and so forth and that
sense of when is this going to
394
00:25:14,500 –> 00:25:18,300
come into my house?
When is it going to affect my
395
00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:20,400
family?
My loved ones.
396
00:25:21,600 –> 00:25:26,300
Foreboding the expectation of
something horrible about to
397
00:25:26,300 –> 00:25:29,700
happen.
Now, imagine what it was like
398
00:25:29,700 –> 00:25:34,200
again in ad 70, you reduce stuck
in Jerusalem.
399
00:25:36,200 –> 00:25:39,300
No way out.
Can you imagine the foreboding
400
00:25:39,500 –> 00:25:41,900
and you’re wondering?
When are you going to die?
401
00:25:44,100 –> 00:25:47,500
And your end is known.
You know that you’re stuck in
402
00:25:47,500 –> 00:25:50,500
this city, you’re either going
to die at the hands of the
403
00:25:50,500 –> 00:25:54,200
Romans.
Well, you’re going to die at the
404
00:25:54,200 –> 00:25:56,400
hands of a fellow Jew.
One of the remarkable things
405
00:25:56,400 –> 00:26:00,500
about ad 70 is that the within
the city of Jerusalem factions
406
00:26:00,500 –> 00:26:04,500
formed and it was in fighting
while while the Romans were
407
00:26:04,500 –> 00:26:06,700
surrounding, there was
infighting amongst the Jews and
408
00:26:06,700 –> 00:26:13,200
he started killing each other.
And even some of them went to
409
00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:16,300
the food supply, and destroy the
food supply.
410
00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:21,400
I mean, how ridiculous is that?
And the rationale behind it, if
411
00:26:21,400 –> 00:26:25,200
you can call it rationale, was
that, well, if we destroy the
412
00:26:25,200 –> 00:26:30,100
food supply and maybe that will
motivate God to save us, that’s
413
00:26:30,100 –> 00:26:32,600
the sort of mindset there in at
this point.
414
00:26:35,500 –> 00:26:37,800
You’re in the midst of this,
you’re gonna die at the hands of
415
00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,600
the Romans.
Are you gonna die from the hand
416
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:42,600
of a fellow Jew?
Or you’re going to die?
417
00:26:42,600 –> 00:26:46,300
A slow death of starvation, and
you might in the midst there,
418
00:26:46,400 –> 00:26:49,400
eat one of your children.
I mean, it was just absolutely
419
00:26:49,400 –> 00:26:51,200
horrible.
What happened?
420
00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:54,100
Or you’re going to be led away
captive.
421
00:26:55,400 –> 00:26:59,100
Either way, it is the end of
your world.
422
00:27:00,100 –> 00:27:05,000
It’s done.
And a lot of people in this
423
00:27:05,000 –> 00:27:07,900
world of feeling like that right
now, that’s that same sense of
424
00:27:07,900 –> 00:27:12,300
foreboding.
Is the virus going to get me.
425
00:27:13,300 –> 00:27:15,500
Is the economic situation going
to get me?
426
00:27:15,500 –> 00:27:17,900
Is this the end of my world?
As I know it?
427
00:27:18,800 –> 00:27:22,500
So I get a little bit of little
bit of a sense of maybe what it
428
00:27:22,500 –> 00:27:25,100
was like for people in those
days.
429
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:30,800
So again in verse 26, people
fainting with fear with
430
00:27:30,800 –> 00:27:34,600
foreboding of what is coming on
the world for the powers of the
431
00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:38,200
heavens, will be shaken and we
know that the powers of the
432
00:27:38,200 –> 00:27:42,900
heavens is symbolic of the
rulers of the world, the Donald
433
00:27:42,900 –> 00:27:45,600
Trump’s of the world and he
says, you know, they are going
434
00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:50,900
to be shaken.
These men who appear on TV
435
00:27:50,900 –> 00:27:54,500
screens, all powerful and
whatnot, they’re going to be
436
00:27:54,500 –> 00:27:59,200
shaken by events because they’re
not going to see any way out of
437
00:27:59,200 –> 00:28:02,500
the situation.
Whether it’s a virus, whether
438
00:28:02,500 –> 00:28:06,600
its climate change, whether it’s
terrorism, whatever it might be.
439
00:28:06,900 –> 00:28:10,200
That eventually brings the
fullness of this prophecy.
440
00:28:10,800 –> 00:28:13,800
It’s going to shake the powers
of the heavens.
441
00:28:17,300 –> 00:28:23,000
Now, down in verse 34, Jesus
gives a follow-up excitation
442
00:28:23,000 –> 00:28:27,100
based on on his words here, he
says in verse 34, but watch
443
00:28:27,200 –> 00:28:31,200
yourselves.
So we’re privileged to your
444
00:28:31,208 –> 00:28:34,600
brother and sisters to have the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ,
445
00:28:34,600 –> 00:28:40,700
to Enlighten, our eyes to give
us signs that we might
446
00:28:40,900 –> 00:28:43,600
acknowledge the sort of times
that were in just as he gave the
447
00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:47,400
signs to those in ad 70.
So the excitation for us plans
448
00:28:47,400 –> 00:28:51,200
is to watch ourselves.
Lest your hearts.
449
00:28:51,200 –> 00:28:55,200
Be weighed down with dissipation
and drunkenness and cares of
450
00:28:55,200 –> 00:28:59,900
this life and Jesus there,
acknowledges that we can turn to
451
00:29:00,000 –> 00:29:03,400
Isn’t he says that’s not the
solution, whether you’re
452
00:29:03,400 –> 00:29:07,500
escaping in drink or any other
ways that this world tries to
453
00:29:07,500 –> 00:29:10,400
escape from reality.
It doesn’t change reality.
454
00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:11,900
Does it brother and sisters
Jesus?
455
00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:16,700
That’s not the solution.
So, don’t go down that way, even
456
00:29:16,700 –> 00:29:20,200
though you are weighed down.
That’s a really interesting word
457
00:29:20,200 –> 00:29:22,500
that Jesus uses their weighed
down.
458
00:29:24,200 –> 00:29:27,800
As we feel the burden on our
shoulders is the idea of a
459
00:29:27,800 –> 00:29:29,500
burden.
It’s a very unusual would use
460
00:29:29,500 –> 00:29:32,000
about five or six times in the
New Testament.
461
00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:36,700
So, you know, there’s burdens on
our shoulders right now, whether
462
00:29:36,700 –> 00:29:41,400
it’s in or mortality in general,
or the anxiety of what we’re
463
00:29:41,400 –> 00:29:45,600
going through, the foreboding
of, what’s going to come next
464
00:29:45,600 –> 00:29:48,800
with, maybe a very deep economic
recession.
465
00:29:48,900 –> 00:29:51,000
Whatever’s going through our
minds brothers sisters, we tend
466
00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:53,900
to be weighed down with the
cares or the anxiety.
467
00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:57,700
A piece of Life were bent over
with these things.
468
00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:01,300
What we’re going to talk about
is the solution to that.
469
00:30:01,300 –> 00:30:03,600
What if we feel weighed down
brother and sisters?
470
00:30:04,600 –> 00:30:06,700
What is the solution we’re going
to talk about that?
471
00:30:08,100 –> 00:30:13,800
It’s the same word that’s used
interestingly, in the record of
472
00:30:13,800 –> 00:30:17,900
Gethsemane and the disciples.
You remember, they were heavy
473
00:30:18,100 –> 00:30:23,700
with sleep, they were weighed
down with sleep, so it’s used of
474
00:30:23,700 –> 00:30:28,100
the disciples and what the
disciples went through in
475
00:30:28,100 –> 00:30:31,800
Gethsemane.
Perhaps symbolic of how we might
476
00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:36,200
feel when things get difficult
that we feel so weighed down a
477
00:30:36,208 –> 00:30:41,900
bogged down by it that we become
bent over and Jesus wants us to
478
00:30:42,800 –> 00:30:46,300
get over that and he’s going to
explain how to do it.
479
00:30:47,700 –> 00:30:50,400
Now the same word, let’s just
have a look at one of the
480
00:30:50,400 –> 00:30:52,900
recurrence of this wood is in
second Corinthians.
481
00:30:53,200 –> 00:31:00,300
And chapter one.
Second Corinthians.
482
00:31:00,300 –> 00:31:04,600
Chapter 1 and the Apostle Paul
uses this same word.
483
00:31:05,800 –> 00:31:10,300
In describing experiences that
he has gone through.
484
00:31:11,100 –> 00:31:14,900
Just look at the strength of the
words of the Apostle Paul here.
485
00:31:15,500 –> 00:31:19,500
He says in 2nd Corinthians
chapter 1 here in verse 8.
486
00:31:20,900 –> 00:31:24,100
For we do not want you to be
ignorant Brothers of the
487
00:31:24,100 –> 00:31:28,900
Affliction we experienced in
Asia for we were so actually
488
00:31:28,900 –> 00:31:32,300
burdened, it’s the same word
weighed down.
489
00:31:33,500 –> 00:31:39,400
We were so utterly burdened
beyond our strength.
490
00:31:40,600 –> 00:31:42,600
The pool doesn’t use those words
lightly.
491
00:31:43,700 –> 00:31:44,700
You meant them.
They are.
492
00:31:44,800 –> 00:31:49,600
It was beyond our strength.
He was in perplexity.
493
00:31:49,600 –> 00:31:52,300
In other words, there was no way
out.
494
00:31:54,800 –> 00:31:59,500
Beyond the strength that we
despaired of life itself.
495
00:32:00,800 –> 00:32:05,100
Just as the people experienced
in the gut in ad 70.
496
00:32:06,200 –> 00:32:10,900
Verse 9, indeed.
We felt that we had received the
497
00:32:10,900 –> 00:32:15,400
sentence of death.
That’s how they felt at this
498
00:32:15,400 –> 00:32:19,300
point.
Look at what Paul then goes on
499
00:32:19,308 –> 00:32:23,500
to say, but and he turns that he
flips this around again.
500
00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:28,700
He puts the positive spin on
this dire situation, he’s in.
501
00:32:29,900 –> 00:32:35,200
But that was to make us rely not
on ourselves, but on God who
502
00:32:35,200 –> 00:32:41,600
raises the Dead.
And that’s maybe another way we
503
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:43,600
can think about our situation
right now, brothers, and
504
00:32:43,608 –> 00:32:48,600
sisters, and some way God is
giving us a lesson, not to rely
505
00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:52,200
on ourselves.
But to rely on God, who raises
506
00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:55,300
the dead to put all our trust in
the God.
507
00:32:55,300 –> 00:32:59,200
Who is the one who will solve
the problems that this world is
508
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:02,900
going through verse 10.
He delivered us from such, a
509
00:33:02,900 –> 00:33:07,200
deadly Peril and he will Deliver
Us on him.
510
00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:10,000
We have set our hope that he
will.
511
00:33:10,200 –> 00:33:14,400
Liver us again.
That’s the frame of mind.
512
00:33:14,400 –> 00:33:18,000
We need to get ourselves into
And then he says in verse 11,
513
00:33:18,000 –> 00:33:24,500
you also must help us by prayer.
so, despite the fact that he did
514
00:33:24,500 –> 00:33:28,800
understand that God would
deliver him, he still Relied on
515
00:33:28,800 –> 00:33:31,700
the prayers of his brothers and
sisters and there’s obviously
516
00:33:31,700 –> 00:33:33,800
lessons for there for us as
well.
517
00:33:34,300 –> 00:33:37,100
So come back with me to Luke
chapter 21.
518
00:33:38,800 –> 00:33:42,700
Let’s carry on reading these
words, this exhortation that
519
00:33:42,700 –> 00:33:46,100
Jesus gives, so don’t be weighed
down.
520
00:33:47,600 –> 00:33:50,000
With the cares of this life for
that day will come upon you
521
00:33:50,000 –> 00:33:54,400
suddenly like a trap and then in
verse 35, it will come upon all
522
00:33:54,400 –> 00:33:58,400
who dwell on the face of the
whole earth.
523
00:33:58,900 –> 00:34:01,700
You see the all-encompassing
outworking of these?
524
00:34:02,100 –> 00:34:03,900
The situation brother and
sisters.
525
00:34:04,100 –> 00:34:08,199
Not now confined to Jerusalem,
but the whole world and again,
526
00:34:08,199 –> 00:34:11,400
we’ve seen that this where we’re
experiencing this right now.
527
00:34:11,400 –> 00:34:17,199
How these things can affect the
father seeds, sees the end of
528
00:34:17,800 –> 00:34:22,699
The world.
So he says, in verse 36, stay
529
00:34:22,699 –> 00:34:29,500
awake at all times.
Don’t try to escape from these
530
00:34:29,500 –> 00:34:35,500
things but try and dampen the
anxiety through dissipation
531
00:34:35,500 –> 00:34:38,699
drunkenness and the other
things, but stay a week.
532
00:34:40,500 –> 00:34:46,000
And he says praying that you may
have strength to escape all
533
00:34:46,000 –> 00:34:49,400
these things.
There’s the echo there with
534
00:34:49,400 –> 00:34:52,500
Paul’s words were just writing
Corinthians that God will
535
00:34:52,500 –> 00:34:55,699
deliver us and he will deliver
us again.
536
00:34:56,100 –> 00:34:57,900
So praying that you may have
strength to escape.
537
00:34:57,900 –> 00:35:01,000
All these things that are going
to take place and to stand
538
00:35:01,100 –> 00:35:05,600
before the son of man.
Now have a look at some of the
539
00:35:05,600 –> 00:35:08,800
language there and see if you
can think of another Echo here.
540
00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:14,400
Look at the keywords in verse
36, stay awake.
541
00:35:15,900 –> 00:35:19,600
Pray.
Have strength.
542
00:35:21,300 –> 00:35:25,100
Now, one of the wonderful things
about the Lord, Jesus Christ, is
543
00:35:25,100 –> 00:35:28,100
that he always practices what he
preaches and of course we’d
544
00:35:28,100 –> 00:35:30,900
expect that.
And what Jesus is going to do
545
00:35:30,900 –> 00:35:36,500
now in the very next chapter in
Luke chapter 22, is he is going
546
00:35:36,500 –> 00:35:41,300
to demonstrate the principle of
what he’s been talking about,
547
00:35:42,200 –> 00:35:46,100
because the very next occurrence
in Luke chapter. 22 is Jesus
548
00:35:46,100 –> 00:35:48,800
going into the Garden of
Gethsemane.
549
00:35:50,400 –> 00:35:55,600
Now, talk about distress,
perplexity fainting, with fear
550
00:35:56,000 –> 00:36:00,500
foreboding, anxiety, and bejesus
experiences at all.
551
00:36:00,500 –> 00:36:04,300
Now, in the Garden of
Gethsemane, he goes as it were
552
00:36:04,300 –> 00:36:08,100
through a little licks, a little
ad, 70 experience.
553
00:36:09,500 –> 00:36:14,200
The garden is surrounded by the
Roman and Jewish authorities and
554
00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:20,500
there is no way out.
So we read in chapter 22 here in
555
00:36:20,508 –> 00:36:25,200
verse 39.
He came out and went as was his
556
00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:29,100
custom to the Mount of Olives to
the scene of his words, in the
557
00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:31,400
Olivet prophecy, the disciples
followed him.
558
00:36:31,400 –> 00:36:34,900
Verse 14, when he came to the
place, he said to them, pray
559
00:36:35,800 –> 00:36:41,500
this one of the keywords pray
that you may not enter into
560
00:36:41,500 –> 00:36:46,400
temptation.
Or trial verse 41 and he
561
00:36:46,400 –> 00:36:49,400
withdrew from them about a
stone’s throw and knelt down and
562
00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:53,200
he himself prayed saying,
father, if you are willing,
563
00:36:53,300 –> 00:36:57,400
remove this cup from me
nevertheless not my will but
564
00:36:57,400 –> 00:37:02,400
yours be done.
And Jesus is experiencing that
565
00:37:02,400 –> 00:37:07,900
sentence of death in himself and
he prays to God, if there is a
566
00:37:07,908 –> 00:37:10,800
way out, then provide it,
please.
567
00:37:10,800 –> 00:37:16,500
But he finally submits to the
will of God because he knows
568
00:37:16,700 –> 00:37:21,900
that God is in control, despite
anything that the Roman and
569
00:37:21,900 –> 00:37:25,300
Jewish authorities can do to
him, even death itself is not
570
00:37:25,300 –> 00:37:29,000
too powerful and enemy for the
god of the ends of the Earth.
571
00:37:30,500 –> 00:37:33,300
And so, in verse 43, the
repaired to him, an angel, from
572
00:37:33,300 –> 00:37:37,000
heaven, strengthening him.
There’s another of the key words
573
00:37:37,000 –> 00:37:42,200
that Jesus said in that verse,
God will strengthen us to endure
574
00:37:42,400 –> 00:37:46,000
to the end?
And then, in verse 44, we get
575
00:37:46,000 –> 00:37:48,200
the emotion of Our Lord at this
point.
576
00:37:48,300 –> 00:37:54,000
Being in an Agony, he prayed
more earnestly and his sweat
577
00:37:54,000 –> 00:37:57,500
became like great drops of blood
falling down to the ground.
578
00:37:57,600 –> 00:37:59,400
Can you imagine brothers and
sisters?
579
00:37:59,400 –> 00:38:05,800
The anguish, the foreboding fear
of Our Lord at this time,
580
00:38:06,700 –> 00:38:08,600
knowing that he is going to be
arrested.
581
00:38:09,800 –> 00:38:15,700
He’s going to be flogged.
Scourged and a nailed to a cross
582
00:38:16,400 –> 00:38:19,700
and die.
A slow agonizing death.
583
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:23,900
You see, Jesus knows what it’s
like.
584
00:38:25,800 –> 00:38:29,200
He knew what it would be like
for those going through ad 70.
585
00:38:30,900 –> 00:38:33,000
He knows what it’s like for us
right now.
586
00:38:33,000 –> 00:38:39,800
He knows our anxiety.
He knows our fear. and we come
587
00:38:39,800 –> 00:38:44,500
to remember this morning, how
our Lord went through all of
588
00:38:44,500 –> 00:38:49,600
that for us, And how God saved
him out of it.
589
00:38:51,000 –> 00:38:55,700
Verse 45, verse 45 and when he
rose from prayer, he came to his
590
00:38:55,700 –> 00:39:00,400
disciples and found them
sleeping for sorrow.
591
00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:05,700
In the other accounts heavy
weighed down burdened that same
592
00:39:05,700 –> 00:39:10,600
word with sleep, Another key
words that Jesus uses and he
593
00:39:10,600 –> 00:39:12,700
said to them, why are you
sleeping?
594
00:39:12,800 –> 00:39:14,100
And that’s a lesson for us
today.
595
00:39:14,100 –> 00:39:18,400
But this is why are we sleeping?
God is nudged us awake at this
596
00:39:18,400 –> 00:39:22,800
point in our lives.
He says, wake up.
597
00:39:24,300 –> 00:39:28,500
Why are you sleeping rise and
pray that you may not enter into
598
00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:30,700
temptation?
And that’s the call that’s gone
599
00:39:30,700 –> 00:39:32,300
out to us right now, brother and
sisters.
600
00:39:32,500 –> 00:39:42,300
Let us rise and pray.
Now, I want to wait one last
601
00:39:42,300 –> 00:39:45,200
Point here, brother and sisters
and it’s what I mentioned
602
00:39:45,200 –> 00:39:48,200
earlier.
How Luke in many of his words,
603
00:39:48,200 –> 00:39:52,100
he is referring back to
something that happened earlier
604
00:39:52,100 –> 00:39:56,400
that Jesus said we talked about
the the adversaries early on
605
00:39:56,400 –> 00:40:01,600
that, they would not be able to
withstand the preaching of the
606
00:40:01,600 –> 00:40:04,300
Apostles.
Now, come with me to Luke
607
00:40:04,300 –> 00:40:08,700
chapter 13.
Let’s have a quick look at what
608
00:40:08,700 –> 00:40:11,400
happens in this chapter.
Luke chapter 13.
609
00:40:17,400 –> 00:40:19,400
So, as I said, this is one of
the really interesting things
610
00:40:19,400 –> 00:40:24,600
about Luke’s gospel record.
In the Olivet prophecy.
611
00:40:24,600 –> 00:40:30,500
Jesus talks about anxiety.
And he talks about being ready
612
00:40:30,500 –> 00:40:34,300
for his coming.
But when you look at Luke 21
613
00:40:34,300 –> 00:40:36,500
itself, he doesn’t actually say
much about.
614
00:40:36,500 –> 00:40:40,800
How do you deal with anxiety?
How do you get yourself, ready?
615
00:40:42,200 –> 00:40:44,300
Well, the reason for that is
because Jesus already talked
616
00:40:44,300 –> 00:40:46,800
about that earlier, in Luke.
If you look 10 for instance, in
617
00:40:46,800 –> 00:40:51,400
Luke chapter 12, I have some
headings above some of the
618
00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:54,200
paragraphs here.
So for instance, at the in
619
00:40:54,200 –> 00:40:59,500
chapter 12, the heading in verse
22 is do not be anxious.
620
00:41:00,300 –> 00:41:02,800
So if you want to know how to
overcome anxiety, just go back
621
00:41:02,800 –> 00:41:06,200
to Luke 12, read verses 22 to
34.
622
00:41:07,300 –> 00:41:10,300
And then the heading above verse
35, my my version.
623
00:41:10,300 –> 00:41:15,300
There says, You must be ready.
Jesus explains her in detail.
624
00:41:15,600 –> 00:41:18,900
How are we to ready ourselves
for the return of Our Lord?
625
00:41:21,200 –> 00:41:25,900
Well as another instance of this
over in Chapter 13, in a miracle
626
00:41:25,900 –> 00:41:31,700
of healing, which Jesus performs
in verses 10 to 17 and we know
627
00:41:31,700 –> 00:41:35,000
that with the healing Miracles
of our Lord, didn’t just heal
628
00:41:35,000 –> 00:41:38,500
for the sake of it, there was a
lesson in the healings.
629
00:41:39,100 –> 00:41:43,300
There was a parable in the
healings and we get that in the
630
00:41:43,300 –> 00:41:47,300
healing of this woman who had a
disabling spirit for eighteen
631
00:41:47,300 –> 00:41:49,700
years.
Now, have a look at the result
632
00:41:49,700 –> 00:41:53,800
of the healing first.
All invert in Chapter 13 and
633
00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:57,900
verse 17.
It says, as he said these things
634
00:41:58,000 –> 00:42:02,400
all his adversaries, see that?
That’s the word that
635
00:42:03,300 –> 00:42:07,000
anticipates, what the Olivet
prophecy is going to say.
636
00:42:08,700 –> 00:42:11,600
All his adversaries were put to
shame.
637
00:42:11,700 –> 00:42:18,600
So Jesus showed early on in Luke
13, how your adversaries will
638
00:42:18,600 –> 00:42:21,600
not be able to withstand you.
So, Jesus went through the
639
00:42:21,600 –> 00:42:24,700
example himself here.
They were put to shame and all
640
00:42:24,700 –> 00:42:27,100
the people rejoiced at all the
Glorious things were done by
641
00:42:27,100 –> 00:42:28,700
him.
So, how did he put his
642
00:42:28,700 –> 00:42:31,700
adversaries to shame?
Well, let’s have a look at this
643
00:42:31,700 –> 00:42:35,800
miracle and notice some of the
key language that is used here.
644
00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:39,700
So it says in verse 10, No, he
was teaching in one of the
645
00:42:39,700 –> 00:42:42,400
synagogue’s on the Sabbath and
there was a woman who had a
646
00:42:42,400 –> 00:42:45,300
disabling spirit for eighteen
years.
647
00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:49,600
She was bent over and could not
fully straighten herself.
648
00:42:49,600 –> 00:42:54,800
So this woman brothers sisters
represent us When we are bent
649
00:42:54,800 –> 00:43:02,500
over, when we are weighed down
burdened by sin, mortality the
650
00:43:02,508 –> 00:43:08,000
anxieties and the cares of this
life for 18 years, she suffered
651
00:43:08,000 –> 00:43:11,900
that.
And what Jesus is going to do is
652
00:43:11,900 –> 00:43:16,400
solve her problem.
What Jesus can do is, we
653
00:43:16,408 –> 00:43:19,100
remember in the emblems this
morning, brothers sisters, he
654
00:43:19,100 –> 00:43:26,000
can solve our being weighed down
to, he can solve our anxiety, is
655
00:43:26,000 –> 00:43:29,300
an all of our fears.
And so, in verse 12, when Jesus
656
00:43:29,300 –> 00:43:33,200
saw her, he called her over and
said, woman, you are freed from
657
00:43:33,200 –> 00:43:35,200
a disability that interesting
language.
658
00:43:35,200 –> 00:43:39,200
Why does Jesus say that you are
freed from your disability?
659
00:43:39,500 –> 00:43:40,600
I mean, he could have said
anything.
660
00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:44,900
You could’ve said you are cured.
He could have said you are.
661
00:43:46,900 –> 00:43:49,300
Your faith has made you whole
for instance, as he said,
662
00:43:49,300 –> 00:43:53,400
another healing Miracles, but
Jesus, chooses to use the word
663
00:43:53,400 –> 00:43:58,700
freed as if this woman has been
in a sort of prison.
664
00:44:00,600 –> 00:44:06,000
Bound by her disability and now
Jesus is going to free her from
665
00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:10,500
it.
Let’s apply that to ad 70,
666
00:44:10,500 –> 00:44:12,500
that’s apply that to Jesus in
Gethsemane.
667
00:44:12,500 –> 00:44:16,100
Let’s apply that to our
imprisonment in our homes right
668
00:44:16,100 –> 00:44:18,200
now.
With this quarantine, Jesus can
669
00:44:18,200 –> 00:44:21,700
free us.
Literally and he will free us
670
00:44:22,100 –> 00:44:26,900
spiritually from these things.
You are free.
671
00:44:26,900 –> 00:44:30,000
Free with disability verse 13.
He laid his hands on her and
672
00:44:30,000 –> 00:44:32,900
immediately.
She was made straight and she
673
00:44:32,900 –> 00:44:35,800
glorified God.
So there is Jesus, has the
674
00:44:35,800 –> 00:44:39,200
solution.
He can take the burden off our
675
00:44:39,200 –> 00:44:42,600
shoulders, all of our anxieties,
all of our fears.
676
00:44:42,800 –> 00:44:46,700
Jesus takes them away and he can
make a stand up straight.
677
00:44:51,000 –> 00:44:54,300
But the ruler of the synagogue
in verse 14 indignant because
678
00:44:54,300 –> 00:44:57,100
Jesus had healed on the Sabbath
said to his, to the people,
679
00:44:57,300 –> 00:44:59,500
there are six days on which work
ought to be done.
680
00:44:59,500 –> 00:45:01,900
Come on these days.
He’ll be healed and not on the
681
00:45:01,900 –> 00:45:03,600
Sabbath day.
Then the Lord answered him.
682
00:45:03,600 –> 00:45:06,200
You Hypocrites.
Now again have a look at the
683
00:45:06,200 –> 00:45:08,500
language that Jesus uses here.
Why does he use?
684
00:45:08,500 –> 00:45:11,300
This example does not each of
you on the Sabbath.
685
00:45:11,300 –> 00:45:15,100
Untie his ox or his Donkey from
the manger and Lead it away to
686
00:45:15,100 –> 00:45:17,400
water it.
Why does he use that example?
687
00:45:18,700 –> 00:45:21,400
You can use any number of
examples of things they did on
688
00:45:21,400 –> 00:45:25,900
the Sabbath day, but he talks
about untying his ox or donkey.
689
00:45:26,100 –> 00:45:30,200
So, again, the language, here is
about someone who is Shackled in
690
00:45:30,200 –> 00:45:32,600
some way imprisoned, in some
way.
691
00:45:33,600 –> 00:45:36,000
And Jesus can untie us from
that.
692
00:45:38,400 –> 00:45:41,600
And then he says in verse 16 or
not, this woman a daughter of
693
00:45:41,600 –> 00:45:46,100
Abraham whom Satan Bound for
eighteen years.
694
00:45:46,100 –> 00:45:50,400
There’s the language.
Again she has been bound by this
695
00:45:50,400 –> 00:45:53,600
disability.
You can see the language.
696
00:45:53,600 –> 00:45:57,500
Jesus wants us to pick up from
this, that would Bound.
697
00:45:57,500 –> 00:46:00,300
By the way, is the same word
that’s used.
698
00:46:00,400 –> 00:46:04,100
When the authorities came into
the Garden of Gethsemane, and
699
00:46:04,100 –> 00:46:06,800
they bound Jesus, and led them
away.
700
00:46:07,900 –> 00:46:11,200
So Jesus knows what it’s like to
be bound by this disability,
701
00:46:11,600 –> 00:46:15,600
Jesus knows what it’s like to be
weighed down with distress and
702
00:46:15,600 –> 00:46:20,200
foreboding and anxiety.
He’s gone through it and he was
703
00:46:20,200 –> 00:46:28,500
bound. but, Not this woman who
was being bounded, says, at the
704
00:46:28,500 –> 00:46:34,200
end of verse 16, be loosed from
this Bond on the Sabbath day.
705
00:46:37,000 –> 00:46:39,400
Let’s look at Acts chapter 2
very quickly where that same
706
00:46:39,400 –> 00:46:46,700
wood, loosed is used.
Jesus had the sentence of death
707
00:46:46,700 –> 00:46:54,800
in himself.
He’s anxiety, his fear was there
708
00:46:54,800 –> 00:46:57,800
in the Garden of Gethsemane and
they did bind him and they did
709
00:46:57,800 –> 00:47:00,100
take him away and they did put
him to death.
710
00:47:02,600 –> 00:47:06,300
But Acts chapter 2 again.
Written by Luke says, the
711
00:47:06,300 –> 00:47:08,900
following in verse 22, men of
Israel.
712
00:47:09,600 –> 00:47:13,600
Hear these words, Jesus of
Nazareth, a man attested to you,
713
00:47:13,600 –> 00:47:17,300
by God, with Mighty works and
wonders and signs that God did
714
00:47:17,300 –> 00:47:21,000
through him in your midst, as
you yourselves know, this Jesus
715
00:47:21,300 –> 00:47:25,100
delivered up according to their
definite plan and foreknowledge
716
00:47:25,100 –> 00:47:28,100
of God.
You see, this is this didn’t
717
00:47:28,100 –> 00:47:30,000
catch.
God by surprise.
718
00:47:31,400 –> 00:47:33,500
He didn’t have to scramble
around trying to figure this
719
00:47:33,500 –> 00:47:35,000
out.
They’ve taken my son and they’re
720
00:47:35,000 –> 00:47:38,200
gonna crucify him.
This is all part of the definite
721
00:47:38,200 –> 00:47:41,500
plan and foreknowledge of God.
And what we’re going through
722
00:47:41,500 –> 00:47:44,900
right now, brother and sisters
is all part of God’s plan.
723
00:47:45,900 –> 00:47:50,100
He is in control.
He is the god of the far ends of
724
00:47:50,107 –> 00:47:52,300
the Earth.
We have nothing to fear.
725
00:47:52,300 –> 00:47:55,200
God knows the end from the
beginning.
726
00:47:58,000 –> 00:48:00,400
You crucified and killed by the
hands of Lawless men.
727
00:48:00,400 –> 00:48:04,200
But verse 24, that is not too
powerful and enemy for God.
728
00:48:04,200 –> 00:48:10,400
Verse 24, God raised him up.
Loosing the pangs of death
729
00:48:10,700 –> 00:48:14,000
because it was not possible for
him to be held by it.
730
00:48:15,200 –> 00:48:20,100
Not even death is too strong, a
power for God.
731
00:48:21,200 –> 00:48:23,300
So no matter what we’re going
through, no matter what
732
00:48:23,300 –> 00:48:26,000
anxieties were going through,
brothers sisters, no matter what
733
00:48:26,000 –> 00:48:29,700
feeling of dread and foreboding.
We might have God is on our
734
00:48:29,700 –> 00:48:35,300
side, The God Who can raise the
Dead is on our side.
735
00:48:37,700 –> 00:48:41,300
And so she returned to Luke
chapter 21, one last time.
736
00:48:42,900 –> 00:48:51,200
Look what Jesus says in.
We will again, read verse 25.
737
00:48:54,100 –> 00:48:58,700
What is going to loosen us from
the anxiety of the things that
738
00:48:58,700 –> 00:49:01,100
are coming into our world?
Verse 25.
739
00:49:01,100 –> 00:49:03,300
Again, there would be signs in
the sun and the moon stars and
740
00:49:03,300 –> 00:49:06,900
on the earth distress of nations
in perplexity because of the
741
00:49:06,900 –> 00:49:10,000
Roaring of the Sea and the waves
people fainting with fear and
742
00:49:10,000 –> 00:49:12,300
with foreboding of what is
coming on the world, for the
743
00:49:12,300 –> 00:49:15,800
powers of heaven will be shaken
and then they will see the son
744
00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:19,300
of man coming in a cloud with
power and great Glory.
745
00:49:19,300 –> 00:49:24,100
Now when these things begin to
take place straighten up, Is the
746
00:49:24,100 –> 00:49:27,600
same word that that Jesus used
in the mirror in the miracle
747
00:49:27,700 –> 00:49:33,000
straighten up.
Raise your heads Because your
748
00:49:33,000 –> 00:49:38,300
Redemption your freedom, you’ll
loosening from all these
749
00:49:38,400 –> 00:49:42,500
troubles is Drawing Near
brothers and sisters.
750
00:49:42,600 –> 00:49:45,600
These should not be days of
distress.
751
00:49:45,800 –> 00:49:48,400
These should not be days of
anxiety.
752
00:49:48,600 –> 00:49:52,100
These should not be days of
Anguish, he should not be days
753
00:49:52,100 –> 00:49:54,500
of foreboding.
These should not be days of
754
00:49:54,500 –> 00:49:56,800
fear.
They should not be days of not
755
00:49:56,800 –> 00:50:00,400
seeing any way out.
These are things brothers and
756
00:50:00,400 –> 00:50:05,100
sisters.
When I Redemption draws nigh and
757
00:50:05,100 –> 00:50:16,600
