003: Tim Badger – Honor the Son

1
00:00:10,900 –> 00:00:13,100
Welcome to the good Chris selfie
and talks podcast.

2
00:00:13,100 –> 00:00:15,800
I’m this week, we have brother.
Tim Badger.

3
00:00:15,800 –> 00:00:19,800
He gave me Series 2 into the
Thousand Oaks Ecclesia at their

4
00:00:19,800 –> 00:00:23,400
study weekend in California and
his title.

5
00:00:23,400 –> 00:00:27,000
For the series was closer to
God, the specific class were

6
00:00:27,000 –> 00:00:30,300
looking at is honor the sun.
This was during the New school

7
00:00:30,300 –> 00:00:32,500
session.
We actually also listen to a

8
00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:36,400
series by brother, Tim on the
general subject of Philippians

9
00:00:36,400 –> 00:00:39,100
at the Perth, young people’s
gathering in 2017.

10
00:00:39,600 –> 00:00:43,100
He has a class in there that was
basically the same topic, the

11
00:00:43,100 –> 00:00:46,000
elevation of Christ, but we
liked this version a little

12
00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:49,000
better.
So this is a very encouraging

13
00:00:49,000 –> 00:00:50,800
and motivating class.
Tim highlights.

14
00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:54,200
That is impossible to elevate
the sun beyond the father and

15
00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:55,700
recognizing him is alive and
working.

16
00:00:55,700 –> 00:00:58,500
Today has a massive impact on
our daily walks.

17
00:00:58,500 –> 00:01:01,900
I feel like Tim is All subdued
in the first half and there’s a

18
00:01:01,908 –> 00:01:04,800
significant raise in volume and
passion in the second half.

19
00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:07,700
He really gets into it.
We hope you enjoy it as much as

20
00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:10,700
we did.
This talk was a suggestion from

21
00:01:10,700 –> 00:01:13,000
a listener.
So we take those very seriously.

22
00:01:13,200 –> 00:01:16,000
Please keep sending them to us.
The email is good.

23
00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:18,700
Chris, Adelphia and talks at
gmail.com and all the social

24
00:01:18,700 –> 00:01:21,700
channels will be listed at the
end of the show.

25
00:01:22,300 –> 00:01:24,100
So here we go.
Tim Badger.

26
00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:28,000
Honor the Sun for the title of
our study school.

27
00:01:28,000 –> 00:01:31,600
This morning is on honor.
Of the Sun and that phrase is

28
00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:35,300
taken from a passage in John
chapter 5, but we won’t go there

29
00:01:35,300 –> 00:01:37,600
yet.
I’d like to read you a quote

30
00:01:37,600 –> 00:01:41,500
that I love from Fairly
well-known historian.

31
00:01:42,300 –> 00:01:47,100
His name is Philip schaff and he
had one of some of his works

32
00:01:47,100 –> 00:01:50,900
that are notable are written on
church history.

33
00:01:51,300 –> 00:01:57,200
And in one of those histories,
he takes an attempt at

34
00:01:57,200 –> 00:01:59,500
summarizing the greatness of
Jesus Christ.

35
00:02:00,200 –> 00:02:03,500
Let me read it to you.
It’s a beautiful quote, Jesus of

36
00:02:03,500 –> 00:02:07,600
Nazareth, without a money, in
arms, conquered more.

37
00:02:07,600 –> 00:02:12,800
Millions that Alexander the
Great Caesar Muhammad and the

38
00:02:12,800 –> 00:02:15,900
pulley with science and
learning.

39
00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:19,600
He shed more light on things,
human, and divine, and all

40
00:02:19,600 –> 00:02:23,000
philosophers and Scholars
combined with out of the

41
00:02:23,000 –> 00:02:27,000
eloquence of school.
He spoke such words of life as

42
00:02:27,000 –> 00:02:31,400
were never spoken before or
since Bruce effects, which lie

43
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:36,100
beyond the reach of orator or
poet without writing a single

44
00:02:36,100 –> 00:02:40,100
line, you said more pens in
motion and furnish themes.

45
00:02:40,100 –> 00:02:43,600
For more sermons orations
discussions, learning volumes

46
00:02:43,600 –> 00:02:46,900
works of art and songs of praise
and the whole Army of Ancient

47
00:02:46,900 –> 00:02:50,200
and modern times.
Now I love that because that’s a

48
00:02:50,200 –> 00:02:54,700
fantastic attempt, trying to
encapsulate, the greatness and

49
00:02:54,700 –> 00:02:58,200
the influence of the Lord, Jesus
Christ Through the Ages and it’s

50
00:02:58,200 –> 00:03:02,000
interesting because obviously,
Say for us we know that Christ

51
00:03:02,000 –> 00:03:04,500
is the focal point of everything
in our faith.

52
00:03:04,500 –> 00:03:07,500
That’s how God has designed it.
And if we look at our own

53
00:03:07,500 –> 00:03:10,600
community over time, we’ve
always preached that and we’ve

54
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:13,300
always held that dear to us.
So even in our own hymn book,

55
00:03:13,300 –> 00:03:19,700
The Green hymn book in that in
book alone, we have nine

56
00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:23,600
sections, revolving around the
Lord, Jesus Christ, hymns

57
00:03:23,900 –> 00:03:26,000
concerning or to the Lord, Jesus
Christ.

58
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:29,800
That’s 30% of our hymn book of
hymns that are centered around.

59
00:03:29,900 –> 00:03:33,700
That and back in 1997 in the
crew selfie magazine.

60
00:03:33,700 –> 00:03:35,700
When the hymn book was being put
together.

61
00:03:36,000 –> 00:03:38,700
A number of brothers were on
that committee putting things

62
00:03:38,700 –> 00:03:41,200
together and going through the
review of the hymn book from the

63
00:03:41,200 –> 00:03:42,900
Brotherhood.
And this is what they run with

64
00:03:42,900 –> 00:03:45,900
yourself magazine.
Concerning the hymns in those

65
00:03:45,900 –> 00:03:49,900
sections, concerning Christ,
they may be acclamations.

66
00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:54,500
So for example, sing praise, the
tomb is void statement

67
00:03:54,500 –> 00:03:57,300
addressing certain truths about
Christ, for example, Thou Art

68
00:03:57,300 –> 00:04:01,600
the way appeals for divine.
This has to be fulfilled such as

69
00:04:01,600 –> 00:04:03,900
the return of Christ.
Lord, we wait the time of

70
00:04:03,900 –> 00:04:06,000
blessing or expressions of
heartfelt.

71
00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:11,600
Thanks was it for Me by flesh
was wounded sore and all of

72
00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:14,600
those are hymns.
That relate to Lord, Jesus

73
00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:18,600
Christ and they put him in his
rightful position as the center

74
00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:23,500
of our faith by God’s design.
So what Philip schaff is done in

75
00:04:23,500 –> 00:04:26,800
his little quote that I’ve read
to you this morning is tried to

76
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:29,100
capture some that.
But when we look at the word of

77
00:04:29,100 –> 00:04:31,600
God business, There’s more going
to do that this morning.

78
00:04:32,900 –> 00:04:35,400
We want to understand.
Well, what does God say about

79
00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:38,900
his son?
Because sometimes it’s, it’s

80
00:04:38,900 –> 00:04:42,000
easy in the whole kind of
culture of Christianity that we

81
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:47,400
live in to, to be a little bit
more confused on where Christ

82
00:04:47,400 –> 00:04:50,500
position is sometimes.
We might react because the

83
00:04:50,500 –> 00:04:53,700
churches have made him part of
the Trinity and God himself.

84
00:04:53,700 –> 00:04:56,800
And so we want to be careful, of
course, and rightly.

85
00:04:56,800 –> 00:05:00,200
So of falling into that,
teaching in that Doctrine We

86
00:05:00,200 –> 00:05:02,600
have to be careful to have the
balance of scripture on where

87
00:05:02,600 –> 00:05:06,600
Christ is and his position when
you come to John chapter 5 the

88
00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:12,300
greatness of Christ.
From scripture point of view and

89
00:05:12,300 –> 00:05:15,600
not be underestimated in, this
is fitting thing to do on a

90
00:05:16,100 –> 00:05:19,000
Sunday morning because it just
helps us all the more in our

91
00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:21,600
preparations.
For getting this morning.

92
00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:26,000
Look at what John chapter 5
says.

93
00:05:27,400 –> 00:05:31,200
Now we’re going honey in at
verse 16 but just before this

94
00:05:31,200 –> 00:05:35,900
evening, John chapter 5 there
was the healing of The Man Who

95
00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:40,800
Loved Bethesda. when Jesus said
to him in verse 8, rise, take up

96
00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:47,200
your bed and walk No, the Jews
were angry but what happened.

97
00:05:47,700 –> 00:05:50,600
So verse 16.
We could look what it says.

98
00:05:51,100 –> 00:05:55,300
This reason, the Jews
persecuted, Jesus and sought to

99
00:05:55,308 –> 00:05:57,600
kill him because of what had
happened with this man.

100
00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:00,800
What he done?
And because he done these things

101
00:06:00,800 –> 00:06:03,600
on the Sabbath, the Jesus
answered them.

102
00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:06,800
So they’re challenging Christ.
And Jesus answered them says, my

103
00:06:06,800 –> 00:06:09,900
father has been working until
now and I have been working

104
00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:15,200
there for The Jews sought all
the more to kill him because he

105
00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:18,700
not only broke the Sabbath, but
he also said that God was his

106
00:06:18,700 –> 00:06:23,500
father making himself as they
thought equal with God.

107
00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:27,000
Now, if there was ever a point
at this is our classic first

108
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:28,800
principles passage that we could
go to.

109
00:06:29,000 –> 00:06:32,600
If there was ever a point where
Jesus could confirm the Trinity

110
00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:36,100
and their understanding, it was
right here because said yes,

111
00:06:36,100 –> 00:06:39,100
that’s exactly what I’m saying.
And that it would have been all

112
00:06:39,100 –> 00:06:43,900
along Jews versus Christ.
But he doesn’t say that.

113
00:06:43,900 –> 00:06:46,700
In fact, he corrects their
understanding, but in a way

114
00:06:46,700 –> 00:06:51,000
that’s actually quite amazing
for us to get a handle on.

115
00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:53,800
So they get all upset and
they’re in, they’re angry

116
00:06:53,800 –> 00:06:57,000
because of what he, what he’s
done and that he’s making

117
00:06:57,000 –> 00:07:00,500
himself equal with God.
So they think look at how Jesus

118
00:07:00,500 –> 00:07:03,200
responds verse 19.
Jesus answered and said to them,

119
00:07:03,200 –> 00:07:06,700
most assuredly, I say to you.
The son can do nothing of

120
00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:10,000
himself.
Well what he sees the father do

121
00:07:10,300 –> 00:07:12,800
from whatever he does the son
also does like matter.

122
00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:16,500
So clearly Jesus is saying from
an equality point of view.

123
00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:21,200
No I’m not cleaning to equal to
my father but that’s not the end

124
00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:25,100
of the story.
Verse 24, The Father loves the

125
00:07:25,100 –> 00:07:28,100
son and shows him all things
that he himself does.

126
00:07:28,300 –> 00:07:31,400
And you’ve got to imagine being
the group of Jews in this

127
00:07:31,400 –> 00:07:34,900
situation and receive the words
of Christ and you could just see

128
00:07:34,900 –> 00:07:39,100
the temperature like going out
because the More and more angry

129
00:07:39,100 –> 00:07:42,300
at what he’s saying, all of this
connection, The Father loves the

130
00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:44,300
son.
Can you say such things,

131
00:07:45,000 –> 00:07:47,500
although he’s not claiming to be
equal to God.

132
00:07:47,900 –> 00:07:51,500
He’s definitely claiming a close
relationship with him and that

133
00:07:51,500 –> 00:07:54,600
angers the Jews, all the more in
this section.

134
00:07:55,100 –> 00:07:57,600
So first 20, The Father loves
the son and shows him all things

135
00:07:57,600 –> 00:08:00,100
that he himself does and he will
show him Greater Works than

136
00:08:00,100 –> 00:08:03,700
these that you met marble for
and he just keeps going.

137
00:08:04,600 –> 00:08:08,100
If that’s not already intense
enough, he says in verse Verse

138
00:08:08,100 –> 00:08:11,600
21 for as the father, raises the
dead and gives life to them with

139
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:14,400
the Jews would nod and say, yes,
that’s, that’s possible.

140
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:19,200
At least some of the, the sex of
the Jews, even so the son gives

141
00:08:19,200 –> 00:08:22,800
life to whom he will.
Now, imagine those words falling

142
00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:29,000
on this audience, For, I want us
to notice first 22.

143
00:08:30,200 –> 00:08:34,400
The Father judges.
No one.

144
00:08:36,000 –> 00:08:42,200
But has committed all judgment.
The son and brother sisters.

145
00:08:42,500 –> 00:08:45,000
I don’t know if you’ve ever
thought about the implication of

146
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:50,300
that verse verse 22 Jesus in his
ministry, is illustrating to the

147
00:08:50,300 –> 00:08:54,000
Jews, his position, as the Son
of God.

148
00:08:54,600 –> 00:08:59,500
And he says, to them in his
ministry, the father judges, no

149
00:08:59,500 –> 00:09:04,200
one all judgment has been
committed to the sun.

150
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:06,800
That’s an extraordinary thing
for us to think about, and

151
00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:09,400
particularly this morning as we
examine ourselves.

152
00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:14,500
The father has given that whole
role of discernment and judgment

153
00:09:14,500 –> 00:09:18,700
in the hearts of men to his son.
The Lord Jesus Christ and we

154
00:09:18,700 –> 00:09:22,800
know he is the judge when he
returns to the Earth but he’s

155
00:09:22,800 –> 00:09:27,700
the judge now is well What’s
going on in our hearts and

156
00:09:27,708 –> 00:09:30,500
Minds.
Now look at verse 23, and this

157
00:09:30,500 –> 00:09:33,800
is where the title for our
considerations mornings come

158
00:09:33,800 –> 00:09:39,500
from.
That all should honor the son

159
00:09:40,600 –> 00:09:47,500
just as they honor the father,
he who does not honor.

160
00:09:47,500 –> 00:09:53,600
The son does not honor.
The father who sent me now

161
00:09:53,600 –> 00:09:56,500
that’s something that’s worthy
of our reflection and thinking

162
00:09:56,500 –> 00:09:59,100
about this morning, and every
day and our discipleship, the

163
00:09:59,100 –> 00:10:04,500
Jesus said everyone should honor
the son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

164
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:08,500
Just as in the sense of that is
in the same capacity to same

165
00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:13,200
degree to which we honor the
father And if you don’t honor

166
00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:16,100
the son that you cannot honor
the father.

167
00:10:16,500 –> 00:10:18,400
Now that’s an incredible
statement by the Lord.

168
00:10:18,400 –> 00:10:21,300
Jesus Christ will still in his
ministry to the Jews.

169
00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:24,800
No, he was not claiming
equality, but as far as honor

170
00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:27,600
goes, and he’s privileged
position as a Son of God.

171
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:31,900
He is saying that I am deserving
of just the same honor as my

172
00:10:31,900 –> 00:10:35,400
father.
Now, that that concept brothers

173
00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:39,200
and sisters only really truly
make sense with an understanding

174
00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:44,100
of God manifestation, that the
sun was a complete embodiment of

175
00:10:44,100 –> 00:10:46,400
the character and the will of
God.

176
00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:49,900
And that’s something I want us
to be challenged by this morning

177
00:10:49,900 –> 00:10:53,400
and think about our honor of the
son, the Lord Jesus Christ in

178
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:58,100
our, in our life that it needs
to be just the same as we honor.

179
00:10:58,100 –> 00:11:01,500
The father who sent him now,
what do you think about it?

180
00:11:01,500 –> 00:11:03,500
Think?
Well, how else do we know in?

181
00:11:03,700 –> 00:11:07,000
That the sun is to be honored
when the like Philip schaff,

182
00:11:07,000 –> 00:11:10,800
still description of Christ is
great, but how does God

183
00:11:10,800 –> 00:11:12,900
described his son?
Well, here’s an example, where

184
00:11:12,900 –> 00:11:15,800
Jesus is on teaching describes
that but, well, how does God

185
00:11:15,800 –> 00:11:19,400
described his son and this is
something that I want us to just

186
00:11:19,400 –> 00:11:23,000
think about this morning.
Now, do something possibly

187
00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:26,200
unusual.
But I do this for a reason.

188
00:11:26,500 –> 00:11:28,200
I’m going to read to you by the
sisters.

189
00:11:28,400 –> 00:11:32,500
All of The titles and
descriptions that belong to the

190
00:11:32,508 –> 00:11:34,900
Lord, Jesus Christ that we find
in the record of scripture.

191
00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:40,300
And if the purpose of doing,
this is exactly in a lot of John

192
00:11:40,300 –> 00:11:44,400
chapter 5 to just soak in this
morning, just to go to soak it

193
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:49,200
in and realize this supreme
place that God has by Design

194
00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:51,300
given to his son, the Lord Jesus
Christ.

195
00:11:52,000 –> 00:11:55,000
So incorporating some of those
titles and descriptions that

196
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:59,200
we’ve already had coming from
Isaiah and other places here is

197

00:18:29,400 –> 00:18:32,200
2.
The Apostle Paul says, therefore

306
00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:37,600
God has highly exalted him and
given him the name which is

307
00:18:37,600 –> 00:18:42,200
above every name that at the
name of Jesus every knee should

308
00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,600
bow of those in heaven.
And those are Earth and those

309
00:18:45,600 –> 00:18:48,400
under the year.
Every tongue should confess that

310
00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:51,300
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Now, here’s the point.

311
00:18:52,500 –> 00:18:56,000
Every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord.

312
00:18:56,500 –> 00:19:03,000
Paul says, to the glory of God,
the father, that is an amazing

313
00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:05,800
thing to say that all of those
things that are bestowed on

314
00:19:05,800 –> 00:19:08,100
Christ.
And the father does by Design

315
00:19:08,200 –> 00:19:11,700
from Genesis to Revelation all
of those titles that give him

316
00:19:11,700 –> 00:19:16,300
the absolute preeminence in the
creation of God, Are all

317
00:19:16,300 –> 00:19:19,600
designed to ultimately give
glory to God the father.

318
00:19:19,900 –> 00:19:24,000
So when we honor, Jesus Christ,
president sisters in any way by

319
00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:27,000
our actions and following him in
our faith and belief.

320
00:19:27,300 –> 00:19:30,200
Any of those things will
ultimately honor God because he

321
00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:35,700
sent him is his son and in him
all of the fullness of the

322
00:19:35,700 –> 00:19:38,600
godhead.
Dwells in the son, the Lord

323
00:19:38,600 –> 00:19:41,300
Jesus Christ.
You look at this passage kind of

324
00:19:41,308 –> 00:19:47,700
Colossians chapter 1. and by the
way, there could be more But I

325
00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:52,400
think we’ve exhausted, but I
think for the Sisters I actually

326
00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:56,600
go by way of I’ve got your copy
of all those with the references

327
00:19:56,600 –> 00:19:58,100
in versus so you can have an
after.

328
00:19:58,500 –> 00:20:01,500
But I actually have Sunday
morning sometimes the way I use

329
00:20:01,500 –> 00:20:06,000
that is I just read that list
and it’s just such a good way of

330
00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:07,600
reflecting.
In the Lord, Jesus, Christ.

331
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:11,400
It is very, very powerful and I
think we need to see it there.

332
00:20:11,400 –> 00:20:16,800
I come to Colossians chapter 1.
Look at this, the language of

333
00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:21,100
the Apostle Paul.
Could you not be stronger and we

334
00:20:21,100 –> 00:20:24,100
know this passage because of the
strength and the language of the

335
00:20:24,100 –> 00:20:27,200
Apostle Paul, and you sort of
think, oh, this is really,

336
00:20:27,200 –> 00:20:31,000
really extreme but it is, but in
sisters because of the position

337
00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:34,000
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
although the Trinity obviously,

338
00:20:34,000 –> 00:20:37,800
gets it wrong from a, from a
central point of view, we cannot

339
00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:40,800
underestimate in undervalue the
position of Christ.

340
00:20:41,800 –> 00:20:44,300
What he says.
And we know these these words

341
00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:49,900
Colossians 1:15 and there’s a
reason why Paul is doing this to

342
00:20:50,000 –> 00:20:53,400
in this letter to the Colossians
because of their troubles.

343
00:20:53,800 –> 00:20:56,300
They need an elevated position
of Christ.

344
00:20:56,300 –> 00:21:02,000
A few of his position verse 15.
He is the image of the

345
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:05,500
invisible.
God, the firstborn over all

346
00:21:05,500 –> 00:21:10,700
creation For by him, all things
were created that are in heaven

347
00:21:10,700 –> 00:21:14,000
and that are on earth, visible
and invisible, whether Thrones,

348
00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:16,200
or dominions, or principalities
or power.

349
00:21:16,700 –> 00:21:20,400
All things were created through
him and for him, and he is

350
00:21:20,400 –> 00:21:24,300
before, all things.
And in him all things consist

351
00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:28,000
and he is the head of the body,
the Ecclesia, who is the

352
00:21:28,000 –> 00:21:33,000
beginning the firstborn from the
dead that in all things, he

353
00:21:33,000 –> 00:21:37,000
might have the preeminence just
a little tension on it.

354
00:21:37,500 –> 00:21:42,200
Remember the Apostle Paul later
in his are 2, Timothy talks

355
00:21:42,200 –> 00:21:45,100
about Demetrius that loves to
have the preeminence, remember

356
00:21:45,100 –> 00:21:47,900
that brother?
And he started think, we’ll know

357
00:21:48,500 –> 00:21:52,000
the reason why that’s so wrong
for a brother or a sister or any

358
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:55,000
of us to love to have the
preeminence among our brothers

359
00:21:55,000 –> 00:21:59,300
and sisters, is because we have
no preeminence all the

360
00:21:59,300 –> 00:22:01,500
preeminence Belongs to the Lord.
Jesus Christ.

361
00:22:01,500 –> 00:22:04,800
He’s the head of this, Ecclesia
and the head of every one of us.

362
00:22:05,700 –> 00:22:10,500
But look at verse 19 for it.
Pleased, the father just soak

363
00:22:10,500 –> 00:22:15,000
the almost every word here is
just amazing for it, pleased.

364
00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:21,500
The father that in him all the
fullness should dwell.

365
00:22:23,600 –> 00:22:29,300
All the fullness, dwell. you
have two sizes again, in chapter

366
00:22:29,300 –> 00:22:34,400
two, Look at verse 9 for
anything.

367
00:22:34,800 –> 00:22:39,600
That is Christ.
Dwells all the fullness of the

368
00:22:39,600 –> 00:22:43,900
godhead, which is why.
When you come to Christ, you are

369
00:22:43,900 –> 00:22:46,900
complete in him.
Who is the head of all

370
00:22:46,900 –> 00:22:50,300
principality and power?
That’s extraordinary language,

371
00:22:50,300 –> 00:22:51,300
jump.
We can go to John.

372
00:22:51,300 –> 00:22:55,100
Chapter one is well and John
says that he came and he was

373
00:22:55,100 –> 00:23:00,500
Full of Grace and Truth full of
grace and truth was in sisters.

374
00:23:00,900 –> 00:23:03,600
That’s the Lord, Jesus Christ.
And that’s the place.

375
00:23:03,900 –> 00:23:08,100
Where is the father, his putting
in the scene of his Plan of

376
00:23:08,100 –> 00:23:09,600
Redemption.
No wonder.

377
00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:14,400
Then that Jesus says that all
should honor the son just as

378
00:23:14,400 –> 00:23:17,800
they honor the father and that’s
true, brothers and sisters from

379
00:23:17,800 –> 00:23:21,000
so many angles and we can see
that that’s the way that God has

380
00:23:21,000 –> 00:23:24,200
designed.
Because when we do, we accept

381
00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:27,900
the father who sent him and we
know who he is, you know,

382
00:23:27,900 –> 00:23:31,100
there’s a beautiful passage in
Song of Solomon, Chapter 5,

383
00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:38,300
Yeah, and I know I love the song
sounded and it just so happens

384
00:23:38,300 –> 00:23:41,500
that currently there’s a few
other views going around in some

385
00:23:41,500 –> 00:23:47,200
solvent, which I think needs to
my own personal use serious

386
00:23:47,200 –> 00:23:51,300
scrutiny.
But so we solving is an amazing

387
00:23:51,300 –> 00:23:53,400
book that institution I’m
absolutely convinced.

388
00:23:53,400 –> 00:23:56,100
We can show this in multiple
different ways that there is

389
00:23:56,100 –> 00:24:00,100
absolutely no doubt that this
book is talking about crisis.

390
00:24:00,100 –> 00:24:03,300
Ecclesia ultimately, it’s an
amazing book that when you think

391
00:24:03,300 –> 00:24:06,500
about it, we we go here and we
feel like, well, this is a bit

392
00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:09,900
of a tricky book to understand
and sometimes I remember, as a

393
00:24:09,900 –> 00:24:12,500
young person needs to be in
Sunday school, whatever it was

394
00:24:12,500 –> 00:24:14,400
and the really the only thing
you really makes you do

395
00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:19,700
sometimes is kind of like give
you a little bit nervous, but

396
00:24:20,700 –> 00:24:24,900
when you put it this way, if
this is a description ultimately

397
00:24:25,000 –> 00:24:28,200
of the love between God and
Israel and Christ Leah, please

398
00:24:28,200 –> 00:24:33,900
your, which it is family is and
must be We have an entire book

399
00:24:33,900 –> 00:24:38,700
in Scripture that plummets the
depths in Exquisite detail to

400
00:24:38,700 –> 00:24:43,500
try and get us to understand the
love that needs to exist in the

401
00:24:43,500 –> 00:24:46,700
passion in the depth of
commitment and Phi, delta T

402
00:24:46,900 –> 00:24:50,400
between Christ and he’s a
collision, a whole book devoted

403
00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:54,400
to it in language, that’s kind
of unusual for us to do so.

404
00:24:54,700 –> 00:24:58,700
But I think that this book has
our primary place in that role

405
00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:02,600
God is trying to just like Hosea
was and commissions You got is

406
00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:06,500
trying profoundly to get us to
understand the depth of the love

407
00:25:07,300 –> 00:25:10,000
that we need to have for his son
and for him.

408
00:25:11,200 –> 00:25:17,400
So in chapter 5 Stars home and
you have a little incident Where

409
00:25:17,500 –> 00:25:22,400
the female character the
shulamite. is going and looking

410
00:25:22,400 –> 00:25:29,200
for her beloved Look at verse 6,
I opened my for my beloved, but

411
00:25:29,200 –> 00:25:33,000
my beloved had turned away and
was gone and so she goes and

412
00:25:33,000 –> 00:25:35,000
finds him.
She seeks him like the Ecclesia,

413
00:25:35,000 –> 00:25:37,200
does you know how she’s going
along.

414
00:25:37,200 –> 00:25:39,500
Look what happens with what she
says.

415
00:25:41,800 –> 00:25:46,100
She says.
In verse a story The the

416
00:25:46,100 –> 00:25:48,700
daughters of Jerusalem, find her
going around looking for her

417
00:25:48,700 –> 00:25:51,100
beloved.
So she’s moving around looking

418
00:25:51,100 –> 00:25:54,500
for her blood and the daughters
of Jerusalem approached her in

419
00:25:54,500 –> 00:25:56,100
the streets and is what they say
to her.

420
00:25:56,100 –> 00:25:58,900
Of course not.
They say to her.

421
00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:04,300
What is your beloved more than
another beloved of fairest among

422
00:26:04,300 –> 00:26:05,700
women?
What is your beloved more than

423
00:26:05,700 –> 00:26:07,900
any other beloved that you so
charge us now?

424
00:26:07,900 –> 00:26:10,500
That’s a classic question.
Any context of what we’re doing?

425
00:26:10,900 –> 00:26:15,400
Like to view sort of asking
what’s what’s really the deal

426
00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:16,400
about?
Jesus Christ?

427
00:26:16,400 –> 00:26:18,500
Why is he so important more than
any other?

428
00:26:18,500 –> 00:26:22,600
What’s the what’s the position
that he has is so important and

429
00:26:22,600 –> 00:26:25,800
now obviously we know the answer
to that but that’s the question

430
00:26:25,800 –> 00:26:28,900
that she’s basically asking this
this Should align.

431
00:26:29,700 –> 00:26:33,300
So instead of just saying, well,
he’s my beloved, she launches

432
00:26:33,300 –> 00:26:37,500
into the most amazing
description of an answer to that

433
00:26:37,500 –> 00:26:39,100
question.
She’s our oath.

434
00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:41,500
You want to know why my beloved
is better than any other

435
00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:44,300
beloved?
Let me tell you and she does,

436
00:26:44,300 –> 00:26:47,200
she launches into this
description of her beloved look

437
00:26:47,200 –> 00:26:51,000
at verse 10 all the way to 16 my
beloved.

438
00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:55,800
Let me tell you my beloved is
white in ready and he’s Chief

439
00:26:55,800 –> 00:26:59,400
among ten thousand his head.
It is like finest gold.

440
00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:01,800
His locks are wavy, and black,
as a raven, of course,

441
00:27:01,800 –> 00:27:03,400
immediately.
We’re sort of confronted with

442
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:07,200
this imagery that is not meant
to be literal in any way because

443
00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:09,500
it would be a very
strange-looking beloved in that

444
00:27:09,500 –> 00:27:11,900
sense.
But all of these are absolutely

445
00:27:11,900 –> 00:27:13,700
packed with the metaphorical
meaning.

446
00:27:14,400 –> 00:27:17,800
Hey and she cannot restrain
herself by describing in great

447
00:27:17,800 –> 00:27:20,800
detail.
Why her beloved is the best and

448
00:27:20,800 –> 00:27:24,100
I think that has some sort of
application to us brothers and

449
00:27:24,108 –> 00:27:27,000
sisters.
Maybe our preaching.

450
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:31,500
Why is the Lord Jesus Christ?
So important to use your cell

451
00:27:31,500 –> 00:27:34,500
phones and we should be able to
answer that question for

452
00:27:34,500 –> 00:27:38,600
foundling.
And if people ask us at work,

453
00:27:39,000 –> 00:27:42,200
why why are you Chris tell me
why do you follow the lord Jesus

454
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:44,000
Christ?
What’s this thing about?

455
00:27:44,000 –> 00:27:46,800
The truth is we should be able
to give it an absolutely

456
00:27:46,800 –> 00:27:51,500
definite answer to that of why
we love the Lord Jesus Christ.

457
00:27:51,700 –> 00:27:54,700
In a profound sense, from a
scriptural, point of view from

458
00:27:54,700 –> 00:27:58,500
who he truly is and what he
truly means to us and that is

459
00:27:58,500 –> 00:28:01,800
what this shoe might does when
she’s confronted with that

460
00:28:01,800 –> 00:28:06,000
question, he was he more than
any other, let me.

461
00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:11,500
That’s her answer.
You know there’s many things in

462
00:28:11,508 –> 00:28:14,500
Scripture that emphasized to us
the primary importance of the

463
00:28:14,500 –> 00:28:18,300
Lord Jesus Christ.
We’re told in Matthew 28, verse

464
00:28:18,300 –> 00:28:23,600
9 that they came and held him by
the feet and worshipped him and

465
00:28:23,600 –> 00:28:27,800
he did not refuse them, John
does revelation when he went.

466
00:28:28,000 –> 00:28:31,800
He falls down before the angel
and he looks like he’s going to

467
00:28:31,808 –> 00:28:34,400
worship the angel.
The angel says, no, I’m one of

468
00:28:34,700 –> 00:28:37,600
your my brother do not do that.
That but when Jesus is

469
00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:40,600
worshipped by the disciples but
the sisters, he does not refuse

470
00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:43,700
and that word worship.
Needs to give obeisance to kiss

471
00:28:43,700 –> 00:28:47,800
or give reverence much the same
as Psalm chapter 2 that we re

472
00:28:47,800 –> 00:28:53,200
dead and no wonder based on who
he is in the divine plan.

473
00:28:54,300 –> 00:28:56,600
Now, let’s be careful with that
idea of worship because

474
00:28:56,600 –> 00:28:59,700
sometimes worship to wash
conjures up something that maybe

475
00:28:59,900 –> 00:29:03,600
it doesn’t imply worship is just
to give honor and reverence.

476
00:29:03,600 –> 00:29:06,500
That’s not just I shouldn’t say
that because it’s an extremely

477
00:29:06,500 –> 00:29:09,800
important Concept in word, you
know, interesting Lee.

478
00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:13,200
I think if you’ve ever listened
to our red to transcripted the

479
00:29:13,200 –> 00:29:17,300
Lee Mansfield debates, when HP
Mansfield was debating debating

480
00:29:17,300 –> 00:29:20,200
dr.
Lee happened in that, in the

481
00:29:20,200 –> 00:29:24,400
Adelaide in 1962, I believe it
was as any One got ahold of

482
00:29:24,408 –> 00:29:26,400
those debates before, never
listen to them.

483
00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:28,500
They are cracker.
Like, it’s amazing.

484
00:29:28,500 –> 00:29:30,900
If you get a group of people
around, do you have some?

485
00:29:30,900 –> 00:29:33,000
Listen to them, or even some of
them, they’re great.

486
00:29:33,400 –> 00:29:36,300
Actually, just a little side
pointed out during those debates

487
00:29:36,300 –> 00:29:41,000
in 1962 that happened, I’d like
they were advertised to the deaf

488
00:29:41,000 –> 00:29:44,600
community and I’ve number of the
deaf Community were convinced by

489
00:29:44,600 –> 00:29:47,800
those debates and came into the
truth of that time and we still

490
00:29:47,800 –> 00:29:51,000
have a Heritage College.
Any Judy Bailey, who is the

491
00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:53,400
librarian at our school and
Adelaide?

492
00:29:53,800 –> 00:29:56,300
Her parents came into the truth
to those debates, and they were

493
00:29:56,300 –> 00:30:00,300
both profoundly deaf.
And she works at our school and

494
00:30:00,800 –> 00:30:02,600
she came in basically through
that.

495
00:30:02,600 –> 00:30:08,200
Now, that was sidetracked.
Dr. Leave presents HP Mansfield

496
00:30:08,200 –> 00:30:09,800
with this challenge.
She said, well, hold on.

497
00:30:09,800 –> 00:30:12,000
How can you say that?
Jesus is not God.

498
00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:14,800
The Father, when the disciples
worshipped him.

499
00:30:16,300 –> 00:30:19,900
And the answer of HP man.
School is like that doesn’t

500
00:30:19,900 –> 00:30:21,900
prove anything.
Of course, they worshiped him.

501
00:30:22,200 –> 00:30:25,200
He was the Lord Jesus Christ.
In fact, they worship me quotes

502
00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:27,200
the Old Testament.
He shows that the people

503
00:30:27,200 –> 00:30:31,500
worshipped God and the King
David at the time because

504
00:30:31,500 –> 00:30:34,500
worship means to give reverence
and they knew that the King

505
00:30:34,500 –> 00:30:37,900
David of that time was God’s
representative on Earth and to

506
00:30:37,900 –> 00:30:41,200
Bow and give homage in,
obeisance to him, was to give

507
00:30:41,200 –> 00:30:43,700
homage and obeisance in
reverence to God.

508
00:30:43,900 –> 00:30:46,800
It’s not taking away from God at
all, in fact, Giving everything

509
00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:52,200
to him to recognize and worship.
The sun is, to do exactly the

510
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:56,100
same to the father because he
sent him, it’s his son and

511
00:30:56,100 –> 00:30:59,500
that’s the sense which we gain
all the way through scripture.

512
00:30:59,900 –> 00:31:03,300
That is no proof of the trinity
in any sense, but it is a proof

513
00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:09,000
of the status and position that
Jesus Christ has in relation to

514
00:31:09,000 –> 00:31:12,000
the father and his purpose.
Now what we want to do both the

515
00:31:12,000 –> 00:31:15,300
sisters is bring this thing all
the way to a reading and

516
00:31:15,300 –> 00:31:18,700
relationship. 25.
Now it’s Our intention is

517
00:31:18,700 –> 00:31:22,500
morning to sort of sort of
dissect, the elements of

518
00:31:22,500 –> 00:31:27,400
Revelation 4:5 in great detail.
But let’s just sort of briefly

519
00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:31,100
have a general.
Look at chapter 4 and 5 in the

520
00:31:31,100 –> 00:31:35,300
context, particularly of the
song that is sung Blanche at the

521
00:31:35,300 –> 00:31:37,600
five.
So chapter 4 and we’re just

522
00:31:37,600 –> 00:31:42,800
going to skim over this chapter.
For seems to be a vision of the

523
00:31:42,800 –> 00:31:47,700
final Glory that belongs to God
in the end with The four living

524
00:31:47,700 –> 00:31:50,100
creatures and the twenty-four
Elders around his throne

525
00:31:50,100 –> 00:31:53,400
singing.
Holy Holy Holy in verse 8.

526
00:31:54,600 –> 00:31:59,500
But then, we come to chapter 5.
And it seems like this is the

527
00:31:59,500 –> 00:32:03,000
glory of Christ or at least the
land that’s leading up to that

528
00:32:03,000 –> 00:32:05,700
point.
So it’s going back and showing

529
00:32:05,700 –> 00:32:07,900
how we got to chapter 4 in that
sense.

530
00:32:08,800 –> 00:32:14,100
And what we find is this in
chapter 5 verse 1, I saw in the

531
00:32:14,100 –> 00:32:17,300
hand of him, who sat on the
throne, a scroll written inside

532
00:32:17,300 –> 00:32:20,900
on the back sealed with Seven
Seals, there’s are Seven Seals

533
00:32:21,500 –> 00:32:24,300
that are going to be opened in
chapter 6.

534
00:32:24,900 –> 00:32:28,200
Then I saw a strong angel,
proclaiming with a loud voice,

535
00:32:28,500 –> 00:32:32,600
who is worthy to open the scroll
and to loose it seals and no one

536
00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:34,700
in heaven or on Earth or under
the Earth.

537
00:32:36,200 –> 00:32:38,800
Which is interesting because
we’ve heard those words before.

538
00:32:40,200 –> 00:32:43,500
Was able to open the scroll or
to look at it.

539
00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:48,400
So I wept much because no one
was found worthy to open and

540
00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:50,600
read the scroll or even to look
at it.

541
00:32:51,300 –> 00:32:55,500
But one of the elders said to
me, do not weep, Behold The Lion

542
00:32:55,600 –> 00:32:59,700
of the tribe of Judah.
The root of David has prevailed

543
00:32:59,700 –> 00:33:01,900
to open the scroll to exceed
Seven Seals.

544
00:33:02,300 –> 00:33:05,600
So what happens is John looks
and beholding the mr.

545
00:33:05,600 –> 00:33:07,500
Throwing the four living
creatures in the midst of the

546
00:33:07,500 –> 00:33:10,400
elders, stood a lamb as though
it had been slain having seven

547
00:33:10,400 –> 00:33:13,400
horns and seven eyes which are
the seven spirits of God sent

548
00:33:13,400 –> 00:33:19,400
out into all the Earth He came
this lamb, he came and took the

549
00:33:19,400 –> 00:33:24,000
scroll out of the right hand of
him who sat on the throne now.

550
00:33:24,000 –> 00:33:27,900
But this is this is a Monumental
moment in history.

551
00:33:28,100 –> 00:33:32,600
This is the very moment in a
sense in the first century where

552
00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:36,000
the elevated and resurrected
Christ has given all power and

553
00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:40,200
authority is now, taking the
seven sealed.

554
00:33:40,200 –> 00:33:44,600
Scroll that no one can open and
he’s taking that and he will be

555
00:33:44,700 –> 00:33:47,300
The one to open it.
The only one that could ever do.

556
00:33:47,300 –> 00:33:51,800
So, and when job sees that in
the, the people in this Vision,

557
00:33:51,800 –> 00:33:55,300
see that the lamb is taken at
school and he’s ready to open it

558
00:33:55,900 –> 00:33:59,100
which happens in chapter 6.
This is what happens response,

559
00:33:59,100 –> 00:34:02,200
death verse a.
Now when he had taken the

560
00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:04,500
scroll, the four living
creatures and the twenty-four

561
00:34:04,500 –> 00:34:08,199
Elders fell down before the lamb
each having a harp and golden

562
00:34:08,199 –> 00:34:11,800
bowls full of incense, which are
the prayers of the Saints.

563
00:34:12,199 –> 00:34:16,699
And they sang a new song saying,
You are worthy to take the

564
00:34:16,699 –> 00:34:22,100
scroll and to open its seals for
you were slain and have redeemed

565
00:34:22,100 –> 00:34:25,400
us to God by your blood out, of
every tribe and tongue, and

566
00:34:25,400 –> 00:34:28,900
people and nation, and have made
us Kings and Priests to our God.

567
00:34:28,900 –> 00:34:32,500
And we shall reign on the earth.
Now really six years for quite a

568
00:34:32,500 –> 00:34:35,199
long time.
I’ve always seen this vision is

569
00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:37,300
something that will have, that
will be doing in the Kingdom

570
00:34:37,300 –> 00:34:39,600
time.
And surely we will there’s there

571
00:34:39,600 –> 00:34:42,500
must be an aspect of that, which
when we are in the Kingdom of

572
00:34:42,500 –> 00:34:45,199
the East Gate of the Temple of
wherever we might be, So we will

573
00:34:45,199 –> 00:34:48,100
be able to sing these words to
the Lord Jesus Christ because he

574
00:34:48,100 –> 00:34:51,199
has redeemed us to God by his
blood.

575
00:34:51,600 –> 00:34:56,199
This Zone Lele from Reading
Revelation, chapter five and six

576
00:34:56,199 –> 00:35:01,800
carefully was first son in the
first century, that is when the

577
00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:07,100
Lord Jesus Christ, first took
that scroll, the first seal was

578
00:35:07,100 –> 00:35:12,600
opened in the first century.
In the late. 1890s as chapter 6,

579
00:35:12,600 –> 00:35:17,200
goes on to describe the
judgments Unpaid enroll, right

580
00:35:17,200 –> 00:35:20,800
verse 1 of chapter 6.
Now I saw when the lamb opened

581
00:35:20,800 –> 00:35:24,600
one of the seals and that’s the
that is the beginning of the

582
00:35:24,600 –> 00:35:28,300
whole unraveling of the story of
Revelation, the Judgment of God

583
00:35:28,300 –> 00:35:30,300
on the earth, to the Lord, Jesus
Christ.

584
00:35:30,900 –> 00:35:34,900
Now, this is something that our
Pioneer brother and have long

585
00:35:35,000 –> 00:35:39,700
written about This is what 13
lectures written by brother.

586
00:35:39,700 –> 00:35:44,600
Robert Robert says on this scene
that we find, he says in 13

587
00:35:44,600 –> 00:35:47,200
lectures.
This is a dramatic illustration

588
00:35:47,200 –> 00:35:52,600
of the great love and esteem
entertained for by the Lord,

589
00:35:52,600 –> 00:35:57,800
Jesus by all standing related to
the matter, the great loved and

590
00:35:57,800 –> 00:36:01,400
esteemed entertained from Lord,
Jesus by all standing related to

591
00:36:01,400 –> 00:36:03,300
the matter.
And he says, of this song,

592
00:36:03,300 –> 00:36:08,400
verses 8 to 10, this is what he
says, page 37. 13 lectures, the

593
00:36:08,400 –> 00:36:11,800
Saints are seeing here.
The Saints are in a Praying

594
00:36:11,800 –> 00:36:14,600
State.
The probationary State as

595
00:36:14,600 –> 00:36:18,700
represented by the 24 hours.
The elders, represent the

596
00:36:18,700 –> 00:36:23,800
Saints.
Not only in the final Glory that

597
00:36:23,800 –> 00:36:29,900
awaits them, but also In their
contemporary first century

598
00:36:30,200 –> 00:36:33,900
Adoration of Christ in their
several Generations.

599
00:36:33,900 –> 00:36:37,200
Well, yet in the flesh,
therefore they say

600
00:36:37,200 –> 00:36:41,400
prospectively, we shall reign on
the Earth showing that at the

601
00:36:41,408 –> 00:36:44,200
time of this part of the vision,
they are still in the position

602
00:36:44,400 –> 00:36:47,200
of Hope.
Now that’s a that’s an amazing

603
00:36:47,200 –> 00:36:48,900
thing to remember.
If you think about brothers

604
00:36:48,900 –> 00:36:51,700
sisters with this Vision,
although clearly it’s got

605
00:36:51,800 –> 00:36:55,100
implications for the future.
There is an element to which

606
00:36:55,100 –> 00:36:56,900
this Vision happens in the first
century.

607
00:36:57,100 –> 00:37:00,000
Because that’s when Christ was
elevated given all power and

608
00:37:00,000 –> 00:37:03,800
authority and our brothers and
sisters of that age.

609
00:37:03,800 –> 00:37:07,200
Recognized that that was the
position of Christ that he was

610
00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:10,500
going to be the one to unleash.
The judgments on Pagan Rome, the

611
00:37:10,500 –> 00:37:13,900
Seven Seals.
And they were so thankful to God

612
00:37:13,900 –> 00:37:17,100
at that time.
That they sang worthy.

613
00:37:17,100 –> 00:37:21,200
Are you to take the scroll and
to open it seals?

614
00:37:21,600 –> 00:37:24,900
if for you were slain and have
redeemed us to God by your

615
00:37:24,900 –> 00:37:29,800
blood, John then has another
element to this Vision.

616
00:37:29,800 –> 00:37:33,600
As he turns in verse 11.
And this is one of those

617
00:37:33,600 –> 00:37:36,400
elements in Revelation where he
suddenly goes right into the

618
00:37:36,400 –> 00:37:38,500
future and the evidence of that
is clear.

619
00:37:38,500 –> 00:37:41,300
Verse 11.
Then I looked and I heard the

620
00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:45,600
voice of many angels, not just
the Saints Angels around the

621
00:37:45,600 –> 00:37:48,100
throne, the living creatures,
the elders, and the number of

622
00:37:48,107 –> 00:37:51,000
them clearly, this is Kingdom
righted.

623
00:37:51,100 –> 00:37:54,400
The End of the Age, the number
of them was Ten Thousand Times.

624
00:37:54,400 –> 00:37:57,500
Ten Thousand and thousands of
thousands saying with a loud

625
00:37:57,500 –> 00:38:00,400
voice.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

626
00:38:00,400 –> 00:38:03,400
to receive power and riches.
Riches and wisdom and strength

627
00:38:03,400 –> 00:38:06,400
and honor and glory and blessing
to see what John is doing.

628
00:38:06,500 –> 00:38:08,400
That’s clearly at the End of the
Age.

629
00:38:08,500 –> 00:38:12,400
And and the song in verse 9 is
in the first century and from

630
00:38:12,400 –> 00:38:15,000
the first century to the very
end of the age, when Christ

631
00:38:15,000 –> 00:38:22,000
returns, We give you honor the
son because he has redeemed us

632
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:26,400
to God by his blood.
And in that time just like we

633
00:38:26,400 –> 00:38:30,500
saw in Revelation 19 we will be
rejoicing together as a

634
00:38:30,500 –> 00:38:35,800
community of Believers and with
the Lord Jesus Christ rejoicing

635
00:38:35,800 –> 00:38:38,800
over that salvation and all that
was accomplished through the

636
00:38:38,800 –> 00:38:44,700
sunroof, the will of the father
So I says in verse 13 and every

637
00:38:44,700 –> 00:38:48,000
creature which is in heaven and
on Earth and under the Earth and

638
00:38:48,000 –> 00:38:49,700
such as are in the sea and all
that are in them.

639
00:38:49,700 –> 00:38:56,600
I heard saying, blessing, and
honor and glory and power, be to

640
00:38:56,600 –> 00:39:03,900
him who sits on the throne and
to the lamb forever and ever.

641
00:39:04,700 –> 00:39:08,300
So here’s the thought, fresh
this morning with the sisters,

642
00:39:09,200 –> 00:39:13,400
we need to really give thought
to how is that Worship the Sun

643
00:39:13,500 –> 00:39:17,100
and honor the son in our life.
And now, just for the record

644
00:39:17,100 –> 00:39:20,300
sometimes we sort of when we’re
talking about this topic, we

645
00:39:20,300 –> 00:39:23,100
sort of, bring out that the
curly question of prayer to the

646
00:39:23,100 –> 00:39:25,600
Lord Jesus Christ.
And that’s a discussion that

647
00:39:25,600 –> 00:39:27,300
comes up frequently, our
community.

648
00:39:27,300 –> 00:39:30,500
But I think there’s a really
simple answer to that even

649
00:39:30,500 –> 00:39:32,100
though there’s a lot of
discussion around that.

650
00:39:32,100 –> 00:39:34,400
Um, I know that’s true in
Australia from time to time.

651
00:39:35,000 –> 00:39:39,600
The simple answer is this.
In my mind, the Lord Jesus

652
00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:43,200
Christ in the very context of
John in John chapter 14 taught

653
00:39:43,200 –> 00:39:45,600
us.
That prayer was to be made to

654
00:39:45,600 –> 00:39:48,000
the father.
That is what he teaches and he

655
00:39:48,000 –> 00:39:51,900
never taught anything else.
That’s what he says you pray to

656
00:39:51,900 –> 00:39:57,100
the father, but he says when you
do and if you do I will do it.

657
00:39:57,500 –> 00:39:59,600
That’s the amazing part.
That’s where Jesus is involved.

658
00:39:59,600 –> 00:40:02,300
He also, he not only does he
bring us to the father and open

659
00:40:02,300 –> 00:40:04,700
that way.
Make that possible, but he’s

660
00:40:04,700 –> 00:40:07,700
also saying that I’m the one
who’s going to be Foreman.

661
00:40:08,000 –> 00:40:11,000
And we can spend a whole nother
sort of time together.

662
00:40:11,000 –> 00:40:14,200
Looking at what Jesus Christ is
doing now as the resurrected

663
00:40:14,200 –> 00:40:17,300
Lord, in the Ecclesia as walking
through the lampstands and and

664
00:40:17,300 –> 00:40:20,300
so many other things and it’s
really important.

665
00:40:20,300 –> 00:40:24,400
I think to understand that that
to have a relationship with the

666
00:40:24,400 –> 00:40:27,500
Lord, Jesus Christ is not mean
that.

667
00:40:27,600 –> 00:40:30,200
I mean we don’t necessarily get
there by just chatting to him

668
00:40:30,200 –> 00:40:32,700
the disciples have that
opportunity for three or so

669
00:40:32,700 –> 00:40:36,000
years, right?
But even then they didn’t really

670
00:40:36,000 –> 00:40:38,800
necessarily perfect.
Paulino, the Lord Jesus Christ,

671
00:40:38,800 –> 00:40:43,200
the message of John is to know,
the Lord is to profoundly live

672
00:40:43,200 –> 00:40:46,400
him in your life.
It’s not just your conversation

673
00:40:46,400 –> 00:40:48,300
or or trying to talk to him in
prayer.

674
00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:52,500
Is there cases where people
actually came to Christ and said

675
00:40:52,500 –> 00:40:54,200
things?
Like at the end of Revelation

676
00:40:54,200 –> 00:40:56,900
quickly Carnival?
Oh, Lord, Jesus could become and

677
00:40:56,900 –> 00:40:58,200
the answer to that is.
Yes.

678
00:40:58,500 –> 00:41:02,000
And we’re thanks given to Christ
was Thanksgiving to Christ.

679
00:41:02,000 –> 00:41:04,400
Yes.
And some of our hymns do that

680
00:41:04,900 –> 00:41:08,500
but pre-eminently but the
sisters Theme in the thrust and

681
00:41:08,500 –> 00:41:11,700
the focus of the New Testament
is that we pray to the father

682
00:41:12,100 –> 00:41:15,900
through the son because that is
what the privilege is.

683
00:41:15,900 –> 00:41:19,700
That he is given to us.
So let’s honor the son, by the

684
00:41:19,700 –> 00:41:22,700
way, we live.
And by the way we speak, and by

685
00:41:22,700 –> 00:41:26,600
the way, we preach the gospel to
the world around us and may he

686
00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:29,900
come soon.
