Joni Mannell – Class 4: With the voice of the archangel

1
00:00:00,700 –> 00:00:05,900
Is it proper that from memory?
Now, goes something like a word

2
00:00:05,900 –> 00:00:13,500
fitly spoken is like apples of
gold in pictures of silver and

3
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:16,900
it’s a lovely idea that is now
don’t have you ever experienced

4
00:00:17,300 –> 00:00:21,500
that feeling when somebody has
said something to you, that’s

5
00:00:21,500 –> 00:00:22,800
really stick with you.
Maybe.

6
00:00:22,800 –> 00:00:26,700
Just maybe in a moment in your
life when it was necessary.

7
00:00:26,700 –> 00:00:29,900
And somebody said the right
thing, maybe said the wrong

8
00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:31,900
thing.
They stick with you too, don’t

9
00:00:31,900 –> 00:00:35,200
they?
But my memory is full, to be

10
00:00:35,200 –> 00:00:39,700
honest of brothers and sisters
throughout my life, whose words

11
00:00:39,700 –> 00:00:44,900
of really left an imprint.
And I often a kind of rehearse

12
00:00:44,900 –> 00:00:48,600
them occasionally because there
they, they said valuable things

13
00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:52,000
that I realized we’re in.
The moment were a real true

14
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:54,900
statement that resonated with
me, that I now go back to it

15
00:00:55,400 –> 00:01:00,200
time and again, like an apple of
gold in pictures of silver and

16
00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:04,300
And it’s worth thinking about
sometimes the way we speak to

17
00:01:04,300 –> 00:01:05,099
our brothers.
This isn’t it.

18
00:01:05,099 –> 00:01:08,800
Hoping that that’s the memory
that they have of those

19
00:01:08,800 –> 00:01:13,700
statements that that are made
I’m on my way when I just think

20
00:01:13,700 –> 00:01:15,800
about.
Now before lunch is this second

21
00:01:15,800 –> 00:01:20,200
seem to pull paint of the coming
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

22
00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:24,000
We talked about the shout
Lazarus, come forth.

23
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:27,900
Now, it’s the voice of the
Archangel.

24
00:01:27,900 –> 00:01:32,100
The Lord Jesus will return with
the voice of the Archangel.

25
00:01:32,100 –> 00:01:36,200
It’s one of the more enigmatic
ones of the ones, Paul chose.

26
00:01:36,200 –> 00:01:39,200
What was the voice of the
Archangel?

27
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:40,700
What was its purpose?
What did he say?

28
00:01:40,700 –> 00:01:44,800
Why is it that Jesus?
Comes with that voice.

29
00:01:45,500 –> 00:01:49,200
And it’s interesting, wasn’t it?
Because the Archangel doesn’t

30
00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:53,600
appear many times in scripture,
in fact only three types.

31
00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,800
He’s mentioned by name.
If this is the one to whom Paul

32
00:01:58,100 –> 00:02:02,300
is referring there in 1
Thessalonians chapter 4, he

33
00:02:02,300 –> 00:02:08,199
appears in Daniels last prophecy
Disney chapters 10 to 12 if

34
00:02:08,199 –> 00:02:10,800
that’s which is turning up limp.
Actually, you might still have

35
00:02:10,800 –> 00:02:18,200
some fingers in In Danville.
because the funny thing is, this

36
00:02:18,200 –> 00:02:24,900
is the first time we meet by
name Michael the Archangel and

37
00:02:27,100 –> 00:02:29,700
particularly the context of what
we’re trying to unravel this

38
00:02:29,700 –> 00:02:33,200
morning in our session.
He never says a word.

39
00:02:34,700 –> 00:02:40,500
He’s absolutely silence.
All right, so he’s introduced by

40
00:02:40,500 –> 00:02:42,600
the Angel.
That’s giving Daniel the vision

41
00:02:42,600 –> 00:02:45,800
there in chapter 10.
And if you come over to chapter

42
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:50,600
12, which I think is partly
where the Apostle Paul is

43
00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:56,700
quoting from This is this is the
famous moment, isn’t it that

44
00:02:56,700 –> 00:03:00,400
time but he’s speaking about the
last days.

45
00:03:00,400 –> 00:03:04,000
Now, verse 1 of chapter 12 at
that time, shall Michael stand

46
00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:08,200
up, the great prince, who stands
for the children of your people,

47
00:03:08,600 –> 00:03:12,100
and there will be a time of
trouble such as never was since

48
00:03:12,100 –> 00:03:16,300
there was a nation even to that
same time.

49
00:03:16,700 –> 00:03:19,800
And at that time, thy people
shall be delivered.

50
00:03:20,300 –> 00:03:22,200
Every one that shall be found
written.

51
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:26,100
In the book.
So here’s this great standing up

52
00:03:26,100 –> 00:03:28,900
with Michael.
You’re Prince says, says the

53
00:03:28,900 –> 00:03:33,400
angel to Daniel and he never
says a word, he’s just standing

54
00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:36,400
there.
And the engine goes on to say,

55
00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:39,800
look in verse 2.
This is what I think the Apostle

56
00:03:39,800 –> 00:03:42,200
Paul is quoting there in 1
Thessalonians 4.

57
00:03:42,500 –> 00:03:45,800
Many of them that sleep in the
dust of the Earth, shall awake,

58
00:03:46,300 –> 00:03:49,900
some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting

59
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:51,300
contempt.
These were the words of Jesus

60
00:03:51,300 –> 00:03:52,500
weren’t there that we looked at
earlier.

61
00:03:52,800 –> 00:03:56,100
In John chapter 5 and this is
what Paul is rehearsing Now.

62
00:03:56,100 –> 00:03:59,000
Isn’t he that the Lord himself
will descend from heaven with a

63
00:03:59,100 –> 00:04:02,000
shout with the voice of the
Archangel with the trumpet of

64
00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:04,300
God.
And those who sleep in Christ

65
00:04:04,300 –> 00:04:08,300
will rise first and he’s
referencing Daniel’s prophecy.

66
00:04:08,300 –> 00:04:13,600
Here is knee in chapter 12, when
Michael stands up and, and many

67
00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:18,100
verse 2, who sleep in the dust
of the Earth, shall awake, some

68
00:04:18,100 –> 00:04:20,800
to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt,

69
00:04:21,300 –> 00:04:24,700
and then Michael by name, Mmmmm
disappears off the scene in

70
00:04:24,700 –> 00:04:28,500
Tyler until Jude wrote his
letter.

71
00:04:29,800 –> 00:04:31,900
That’s the next time we meet him
by name.

72
00:04:32,100 –> 00:04:35,100
It can’t be the next time we
meet them in person because the

73
00:04:35,100 –> 00:04:39,300
references you know that Jude
makes is to a later time in his

74
00:04:39,300 –> 00:04:41,600
upper are in Israel.
But he’s never mentioned by name

75
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:42,800
in Zechariah.
In Israel.

76
00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:46,800
Judah is the one who tells us.
It was Michael the Archangel.

77
00:04:47,900 –> 00:04:53,900
And it’s only due to tells us.
I think in scripture the words

78
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:56,600
of the Archangel, you remember
what they were drummer in.

79
00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:01,200
Jude it says, Michael when
disputing with the devil about

80
00:05:01,200 –> 00:05:05,900
the body of Moses said, The Lord
rebuke thee.

81
00:05:07,400 –> 00:05:11,900
And explicitly in scripture.
They are the only words we ever

82
00:05:11,900 –> 00:05:16,300
hear from the lips of Michael
explicitly.

83
00:05:16,500 –> 00:05:20,700
I’m trying to be really clear
explicitly by name, that’s the

84
00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:25,000
only thing we’re told that
Michael ever says the Lord

85
00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:30,100
rebuke thee.
Apples of gold in pictures of

86
00:05:30,100 –> 00:05:32,600
silver.
Do you just kind of wraps up the

87
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:35,700
the events that he’s describing
that took place in this summary

88
00:05:35,700 –> 00:05:38,700
statement that Michael said and
it changed.

89
00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:42,200
The course of certainly one
man’s life definitely too and

90
00:05:42,200 –> 00:05:46,900
probably a generation and Jude
says, all that he said was the

91
00:05:46,900 –> 00:05:50,200
Lord rebuke you.
And it was done.

92
00:05:52,700 –> 00:05:56,100
And the last time we meet
Michael is is in Revelation.

93
00:05:56,600 –> 00:05:58,200
Maybe finish with that, we have
time.

94
00:05:59,200 –> 00:06:02,800
So the only three times by name,
we meet Michael.

95
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:05,000
Now it’s worth just coming back
with me.

96
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:08,200
If you will to supper our
chapter 3 just very very briefly

97
00:06:08,500 –> 00:06:11,500
because you remember this you
have done this jigsaw puzzling

98
00:06:11,500 –> 00:06:15,800
before I suspect as to what it
was.

99
00:06:15,800 –> 00:06:19,400
Dude was referring to when he
makes this statement that do

100
00:06:19,400 –> 00:06:25,200
that the Michael spoke in its
context of the Lord rebuke you.

101
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:30,000
And and he quotes back here to
Zachariah chapter 3, Just need,

102
00:06:30,000 –> 00:06:33,300
I don’t want you to notice the
template now of how Michael is

103
00:06:33,300 –> 00:06:36,700
positioned as speaking, these
words and the impact that it had

104
00:06:37,300 –> 00:06:43,400
on those to whom it was said for
spoken for.

105
00:06:43,800 –> 00:06:46,100
All right.
And here is after our chapter 3,

106
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:50,900
I’m thus after our says, he
showed me this one is up, there

107
00:06:50,900 –> 00:06:53,400
are three he showed me Joshua,
the high priest standing before

108
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:57,500
the angel of the Lord, and Satan
standing at his right hand to

109
00:06:57,500 –> 00:07:02,300
resist him under the law.
It said to Satan the Lord rebuke

110
00:07:02,300 –> 00:07:04,700
you that that’s that’s the
phrase that you just pick

111
00:07:04,700 –> 00:07:09,800
something and it captures their
and in his letter the Lord

112
00:07:09,800 –> 00:07:12,900
rebuke you and now of course is
after I discover, like I said a

113
00:07:12,907 –> 00:07:17,500
bit more.
He went on to say even the Lord

114
00:07:17,500 –> 00:07:21,800
that has chosen Jerusalem verse
to rebuke you is not this a

115
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:25,700
brand plucked out of the fire
and and suffer.

116
00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:29,100
I goes on to describe how he
sees Joshua the priest.

117
00:07:29,300 –> 00:07:32,700
They’re clothed with filthy
garments and standing before the

118
00:07:32,700 –> 00:07:36,100
angel, and he answered and spoke
to that those who stood before

119
00:07:36,100 –> 00:07:38,500
him saying, take away those
filthy garments from him.

120
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:41,200
I know to him.
He said, behold I have caused

121
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:44,100
your iniquity to pass through
you and I will clothe you with a

122
00:07:44,100 –> 00:07:47,300
change of raiment and I said let
them put a fair Mitre upon his

123
00:07:47,300 –> 00:07:49,000
head.
And so they put a fair, my trip

124
00:07:49,000 –> 00:07:52,400
on his head and clothed in, with
garments and the angel of the

125
00:07:52,400 –> 00:07:58,600
Lord stood by Lovely moment.
This now here’s the next we need

126
00:07:58,600 –> 00:08:00,400
food and it’s time to take you
through in detail.

127
00:08:00,400 –> 00:08:03,300
But you remember the sequence,
when you go back and look for

128
00:08:03,300 –> 00:08:06,300
this incident, when it actually
happened, in the book of Ezra

129
00:08:08,400 –> 00:08:12,800
Michael Michael is not there and
again, he says nothing.

130
00:08:14,300 –> 00:08:17,900
And what happens here, the way
this unfolds is Zach, as far as

131
00:08:17,900 –> 00:08:21,900
I can see, it Zachariah sits
down with Joshua and zerubbabel,

132
00:08:21,900 –> 00:08:25,200
who are facing all kinds of
opposition to the building work

133
00:08:25,200 –> 00:08:28,100
of the temple.
As they’ve arrived back up there

134
00:08:28,100 –> 00:08:31,300
in Jerusalem and Josh you were
struggling.

135
00:08:32,500 –> 00:08:35,400
And he sits down with the
prophets year, Zachariah and

136
00:08:35,400 –> 00:08:39,299
Huggy, and Malachi.
I’d always imagined this moment

137
00:08:39,299 –> 00:08:42,200
in Sister Zacharias, it’s down
alongside Joshua.

138
00:08:43,000 –> 00:08:44,300
This is Josh.
I want to tell you about a

139
00:08:44,308 –> 00:08:48,700
vision.
I had And I saw the opposition

140
00:08:48,700 –> 00:08:52,600
that you were facing and God
presented it to me this dramatic

141
00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:57,800
scene and you were standing
there in filthy garments. and we

142
00:08:57,800 –> 00:09:02,400
could see all these adversaries
who were against you, I’m God

143
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:05,600
sent Michael.
It’s pretty strong workout.

144
00:09:05,600 –> 00:09:08,400
Is that what the correlation is
between Daniels prophecy?

145
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:12,900
And this is these events that
unfolded there in Ezra and and

146
00:09:12,900 –> 00:09:16,600
in this prophecy of Zechariah
because we normally immediately

147
00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:18,900
take all those moments as they
describe their in.

148
00:09:18,900 –> 00:09:23,900
Daniel 12 to be the last days or
certainly a lot Laster than, you

149
00:09:23,900 –> 00:09:27,500
know, Ezra chapter 4 and yet.
It’s almost as if scripture

150
00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:31,600
wants you to see that this
generation saw or God wanted

151
00:09:31,600 –> 00:09:34,900
that generation to see that.
There was, there was Reality of

152
00:09:34,900 –> 00:09:38,200
fulfillment about that prophecy
that wasn’t just going to be for

153
00:09:38,200 –> 00:09:41,900
the last days it was going to be
for this generation to, which is

154
00:09:41,900 –> 00:09:43,600
wise.
After I now sits down with Josh

155
00:09:43,600 –> 00:09:47,400
and says, I saw Michael the
Archangel and he stood up to

156
00:09:47,400 –> 00:09:52,900
defend his people.
And I know I saw him speak to

157
00:09:52,900 –> 00:09:56,600
your adversaries as God’s
mouthpiece and he said the Lord

158
00:09:56,600 –> 00:10:00,300
rebuke you.
And you carry a reading in Ezra

159
00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:03,300
and who is the one?
Who rebukes the adversaries.

160
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:10,500
It wasn’t Michael. it was Josh,
you Joshua was strengthened and

161
00:10:10,500 –> 00:10:13,600
emboldened to stand up against
those who tried to stop him.

162
00:10:13,800 –> 00:10:16,000
And he was the one who said the
Lord rebuke.

163
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:19,400
You the words don’t come out as
blunt as that he positions it in

164
00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:23,000
a more logical sequence and in a
more palatable way.

165
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:26,300
But anything Joshua says, is the
one who says you have no right

166
00:10:26,300 –> 00:10:29,100
to build with us and we will
continue building.

167
00:10:29,100 –> 00:10:31,600
And of course, as a result, the
whole building project gets

168
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:34,100
stopped and letters are written
to the king to go.

169
00:10:34,100 –> 00:10:35,900
What is what are these people
doing there?

170
00:10:36,100 –> 00:10:37,900
They’re rebelling.
They’re building this Temple.

171
00:10:37,900 –> 00:10:40,900
It’s going to be a disaster.
What’s the for you and and then

172
00:10:40,900 –> 00:10:46,000
after searching the, the the
libraries of Babylon and batana

173
00:10:46,200 –> 00:10:50,400
and they find Cyrus has decree,
and eventually, all the thing

174
00:10:50,400 –> 00:10:53,500
kicks off again and starts.
And it was because of the word

175
00:10:53,500 –> 00:10:58,200
of the Lord, it wasn’t because
Joshua did something remarkable

176
00:10:58,200 –> 00:11:01,800
other than trust in the fact
that the things God said, will

177
00:11:01,800 –> 00:11:04,500
be at a reality became a
reality.

178
00:11:04,700 –> 00:11:07,700
God had planned that those
documents that decree of Cyrus

179
00:11:07,800 –> 00:11:11,100
would be Stirred in every
library in the Babylonian Empire

180
00:11:11,100 –> 00:11:16,000
years before, God had prophesied
150 years before that.

181
00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:18,800
After the desolations of
Jerusalem, they would return

182
00:11:18,800 –> 00:11:20,900
from Babylon and restore and
rebuild.

183
00:11:21,000 –> 00:11:24,400
All this have been pre-planned
and predone, it was out of

184
00:11:24,400 –> 00:11:29,400
Joshua’s control.
But Joshua wasn’t feeling that

185
00:11:29,400 –> 00:11:34,100
was he he was stood there facing
Challenge and opposition and

186
00:11:34,100 –> 00:11:36,000
sucker.
I sat him down and said you wait

187
00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:37,800
till I tell you the vision I
see.

188
00:11:39,100 –> 00:11:43,200
Michael is standing right beside
you and he’s speaking

189
00:11:43,300 –> 00:11:47,500
authoritatively.
The Lord rebuke you and Joshua

190
00:11:47,500 –> 00:11:52,200
was emboldened to carry on the
work and to review himself his

191
00:11:52,200 –> 00:11:55,600
adversaries and to trust that
all the plans and preparations

192
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:58,700
that God had already made would
not fail.

193
00:11:58,900 –> 00:12:01,300
And that’s all the Michael did
in the end.

194
00:12:01,300 –> 00:12:03,800
I say all, I mean, I’m sure I’m
being cautious.

195
00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:06,800
Now, all that Michael did was
stand up and say, listen, this

196
00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:11,400
is in good hands, Joshua there
No question about the reality of

197
00:12:11,400 –> 00:12:14,300
this, these events under and the
work that’s already been

198
00:12:14,300 –> 00:12:17,900
prepared by God.
And the voice of the Archangel

199
00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:20,600
in the ears of Joshua was just,
it will be done.

200
00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:22,400
And in fact, if you just look
down, if you’re still in

201
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:24,900
Zechariah 3 department, where
you are now, if you’re still in

202
00:12:24,900 –> 00:12:28,500
Zechariah 3, Michael keeps
speaking.

203
00:12:29,100 –> 00:12:34,400
And in fact, here he says,
they’re verse 6, the angel of

204
00:12:34,408 –> 00:12:38,400
the Lord protest stood to Joshua
saying thus, says the Lord of

205
00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:41,500
hosts. if you will walk in my
ways and if you will keep my

206
00:12:41,500 –> 00:12:46,500
charge, Then you will judge my
house and you will keep my

207
00:12:46,500 –> 00:12:49,400
quartz and I will give you
places to walk among these, that

208
00:12:49,400 –> 00:12:51,300
standby here.
Now, I’m Joshua.

209
00:12:51,300 –> 00:12:54,200
The high priest you and your
fellows that sit before you for

210
00:12:54,200 –> 00:12:56,800
they are men wouldn’t adapt for
behold.

211
00:12:56,800 –> 00:13:00,000
I will bring forth my servant
the branch and what the angel

212
00:13:00,000 –> 00:13:03,100
goes on to say to, Joshua is the
stuff that you’re doing and

213
00:13:03,100 –> 00:13:07,700
involved in Joshua, is itself,
is kind of just a prophecy with

214
00:13:07,700 –> 00:13:10,300
this Temple cannot be stopped in
building because the

215
00:13:10,300 –> 00:13:13,100
significance and the symbology
of what it stands for.

216
00:13:13,600 –> 00:13:18,400
Stick your head under the the
Angel, Michael continues to say,

217
00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:21,900
I will bring forth my servant,
the branch be sure all the stone

218
00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:26,500
that I have laid before Joshua
upon one stone shall be seven

219
00:13:26,500 –> 00:13:28,000
eyes.
I will engrave it with the

220
00:13:28,008 –> 00:13:31,300
graving thereof saith, the Lord
of hosts, and I will remove the

221
00:13:31,300 –> 00:13:33,500
iniquity of that land the in one
day.

222
00:13:34,300 –> 00:13:35,900
And in that day, saith the Lord
of hosts.

223
00:13:35,900 –> 00:13:38,700
She will call every man, his
Neighbour under his Vine and

224
00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:40,300
under his fig tree.
Can you hear what Michael is

225
00:13:40,300 –> 00:13:42,800
saying?
Joshua, this stuff itself is

226
00:13:42,800 –> 00:13:44,400
symbolic.
Like the stuff that you were

227
00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:47,800
doing the role that you have the
temple that you are building is

228
00:13:47,800 –> 00:13:49,800
itself.
Just part of a bigger grander

229
00:13:49,800 –> 00:13:54,100
story that cannot be stopped, it
has to be done because the men

230
00:13:54,100 –> 00:13:56,900
who with whom you are working,
are themselves prophetically, a

231
00:13:56,900 –> 00:14:01,100
sign of the one who is still to
come, I will bring forth my

232
00:14:01,100 –> 00:14:06,300
servant the branch and you know,
now of whom Michael is speaking.

233
00:14:08,000 –> 00:14:10,600
She goes on to quote from Micah
chapter 4 there, doesn’t he?

234
00:14:10,900 –> 00:14:12,600
In that day?
Saith the Lord of hosts verse

235
00:14:12,600 –> 00:14:14,200
10.
Show you call every man his

236
00:14:14,200 –> 00:14:17,700
Neighbour under the vine and
under the Fig Tree and he’s

237
00:14:17,700 –> 00:14:20,800
referencing Mike afford.
Remember that great Prophecy in

238
00:14:20,800 –> 00:14:23,500
the last days, the mountain of
the Lord’s house, shall be

239
00:14:23,500 –> 00:14:26,700
established in the top of the
mountains and people will flow

240
00:14:26,700 –> 00:14:28,800
to it.
And many nations will come and

241
00:14:28,800 –> 00:14:31,400
say, come, let us go up to the
house of the Lord.

242
00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:35,300
He will teach us of his ways and
they will sit every man under

243
00:14:35,300 –> 00:14:37,300
his Vine and under his fig tree
of Nike.

244
00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:40,200
Is that prophecy by saying
because the mouth of the Lord of

245
00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:42,800
hosts has spoken it.
That’s how we know.

246
00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:46,500
It will be a reality.
And all that Michael did again

247
00:14:46,500 –> 00:14:50,400
I’m saying, oh, you know, it was
a small thing all that Michael

248
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:52,700
did was appear to Zakaria in a
vision.

249
00:14:54,500 –> 00:14:59,100
And ask him to remind Joshua.
Of all these things that are

250
00:14:59,100 –> 00:15:02,500
already done.
They’re already sealed and all

251
00:15:02,500 –> 00:15:05,100
Joshua.
I say, all all Josh.

252
00:15:05,100 –> 00:15:10,000
You asked to do Is realize, he’s
part of a big story here.

253
00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:14,600
That cannot be stopped.
And to play his part.

254
00:15:15,900 –> 00:15:18,400
And to hear those words, the
Lord rebuke you.

255
00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:23,100
This, this is not Joshua’s work.
This is the Lord’s work and he

256
00:15:23,100 –> 00:15:26,600
is there just playing his part.
And I wonder Francis if there’s

257
00:15:26,600 –> 00:15:31,600
a couple of other occasions in
scripture when this template of

258
00:15:31,600 –> 00:15:35,900
how Michael’s voice is to be
used, can be seen.

259
00:15:35,900 –> 00:15:54,800
We commit to Joshua chapter 5.
jaundice occasion, when interest

260
00:15:54,800 –> 00:16:00,100
rates another Joshua.
They’ve crossed the Jordan.

261
00:16:00,800 –> 00:16:04,700
Joshua is new in his role as the
commander of God’s army or so he

262
00:16:04,700 –> 00:16:11,100
thinks and he meets an angel,
he’s not named not explicitly

263
00:16:11,100 –> 00:16:16,100
anyway, and it says, in verse 13
of Joshua five, it came to pass

264
00:16:16,100 –> 00:16:18,300
when Joshua was by Jericho.
They lifted up his eyes, and

265
00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:21,300
looked, and behold there, stood,
a man over against him with his

266
00:16:21,300 –> 00:16:24,100
sword drawn in his hand and
Joshua went into a man.

267
00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:26,600
Are you for us or for our
enemies?

268
00:16:28,000 –> 00:16:31,700
And the man answered.
No, that’s captain of the host

269
00:16:31,700 –> 00:16:33,600
of the Lord.
Am I now?

270
00:16:33,600 –> 00:16:35,800
Come?
Now, you’re probably know this

271
00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:38,900
description.
This man gives his own rank is I

272
00:16:38,900 –> 00:16:42,900
am the captain and that’s the
same word that’s used there.

273
00:16:42,900 –> 00:16:47,800
In Daniel chapter 12, Michael
your prince same, same word

274
00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:54,300
there, The Arc bit of the Angel
but that’s that’s that word

275
00:16:54,300 –> 00:16:55,300
there.
Captain.

276
00:16:59,300 –> 00:17:03,200
Under Joshua fell on his face to
the Earth and worshipped and

277
00:17:03,200 –> 00:17:06,200
said to him.
What says my Lord and to his

278
00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:11,400
servant just to immediately
recognizes now from his words

279
00:17:12,300 –> 00:17:20,700
this man And the words of the
Angel were verse 15, loose your

280
00:17:20,700 –> 00:17:22,900
shoe from your foot.
For the place whereon, you’re

281
00:17:22,900 –> 00:17:26,900
standing is Holy You remember
the last man who was asked to do

282
00:17:26,900 –> 00:17:31,100
that.
I saw it was a rhetorical

283
00:17:31,100 –> 00:17:33,600
question but thank you.
Yeah, good to know you’re there.

284
00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:37,200
There’s no space for the he was
the last man asked to carry out

285
00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:39,200
this process.
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it

286
00:17:39,200 –> 00:17:43,400
whether the man to whom Moses
spoke was the same one now to

287
00:17:43,400 –> 00:17:47,400
who Joshua speaks and he’s
purposely asked to connect with

288
00:17:47,500 –> 00:17:48,900
the experience.
Most have been through by

289
00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:51,700
removing his shoes.
He’s standing on Holy Ground in

290
00:17:51,700 –> 00:17:54,900
front of this angel.
Now listen to the words now of

291
00:17:54,900 –> 00:17:56,900
the Angel because it’s one of
those awkward things where

292
00:17:56,900 –> 00:18:00,000
you’ve got to imagine.
There’s no chatter division Now

293
00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:01,700
Jericho was straight.
We should tip because of the

294
00:18:01,708 –> 00:18:03,600
children of Israel.
No one went out.

295
00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:07,000
No one came in and the Lord said
to Joshua and I put

296
00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:08,600
achievements, it’s the same
Angel speaking.

297
00:18:08,600 –> 00:18:11,000
Now these are the words of the
Angel to Joshua.

298
00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:14,000
This is what I want you to do.
I have given into your hand

299
00:18:14,000 –> 00:18:17,900
Jericho and it’s king and the
Mighty Men of Valor and this is

300
00:18:17,900 –> 00:18:20,600
what I want you to do.
I want you to Compass the city

301
00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:23,900
and remember how the city was
going to fall, it was going to

302
00:18:23,900 –> 00:18:27,700
fall with two key mechanisms,
the blowing of trumpets and

303
00:18:27,700 –> 00:18:31,100
shouting.
That’s how this city was going

304
00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:32,300
to fall.
They were going to Encompass,

305
00:18:32,300 –> 00:18:36,300
the city for seven days.
And on the seventh day on the

306
00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:39,000
seventh time around the city
because on the seventh day that

307
00:18:39,000 –> 00:18:41,600
we’re going to go around the
city, seven times, the priests

308
00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:45,200
were going to blow the trumpet
and Joshua said you wait for my

309
00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:52,700
word and when I say you shout
And it was the shouting, the

310
00:18:52,700 –> 00:18:56,600
trumpet brother and sisters that
made that City form on the

311
00:18:56,600 –> 00:19:00,900
seventh day on the seventh
trumpet, sound the city fell

312
00:19:01,700 –> 00:19:07,000
because the people shouted and
God’s wrote his victory, and it

313
00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:10,300
was because of the words I put
into your ancestors of the

314
00:19:10,300 –> 00:19:13,900
Archangel who all he did was say
to Joshua.

315
00:19:13,900 –> 00:19:18,700
I say all, all he did was say,
This battle is mine actually

316
00:19:18,700 –> 00:19:20,000
Joshua.
It’s not yours.

317
00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:23,500
And this is how I want you to
achieve it.

318
00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:27,700
I want to blow some trumpets and
shouts, that’s how we’re going

319
00:19:27,700 –> 00:19:31,900
to be victorious here.
The next Temple.

320
00:19:31,900 –> 00:19:33,100
I just want you to see really
quickly.

321
00:19:33,100 –> 00:19:35,300
Runs this is in Judges, chapter
6.

322
00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:41,600
Remember this occasion?
when Gideon on this occasion

323
00:19:41,700 –> 00:19:49,500
meets an angel, again he’s not
named He’s not named, but he

324
00:19:49,500 –> 00:19:52,900
meets in the middle part there
of chapter 6 and I think rinses

325
00:19:52,900 –> 00:19:55,200
he’s the only judge to meet an
angel.

326
00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:59,100
But personally Samson’s parents,
if you remember met an angel,

327
00:19:59,100 –> 00:20:03,400
but something didn’t himself it
was before he was born Gideon.

328
00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:07,300
Was the only one to personally
have this regular encounter,

329
00:20:07,300 –> 00:20:10,800
with this Angel throughout his
experience, in a way to notice

330
00:20:10,800 –> 00:20:13,800
Gideon’s reaction when he
realizes with whom he’s been

331
00:20:13,800 –> 00:20:17,400
speaking and 6:22.
When Gideon, Perceive that he

332
00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:21,100
was an angel of the Lord Gideon
said the last, oh Lord God, I

333
00:20:21,108 –> 00:20:24,400
have seen an angel of the Lord
face to face.

334
00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:29,000
He’s think of the only other
person princesses who is

335
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:33,900
described as seeing God In This
Way, face-to-face, not

336
00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:37,700
rhetorical right, Moses?
I’ve doubted that back in the

337
00:20:37,700 –> 00:20:40,800
vibe with, you know, their real
noses was described.

338
00:20:40,800 –> 00:20:42,800
As, having spoken to the Lord
face to face.

339
00:20:42,900 –> 00:20:45,200
And it’s almost if Gideon is
referencing that now, isn’t he?

340
00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:47,700
And he said, I’ll ask I’ve
spoken with the Lord face to

341
00:20:47,700 –> 00:20:51,500
face.
Under the angel comes in down

342
00:20:51,600 –> 00:20:55,100
now.
You might remember how Gideon

343
00:20:55,200 –> 00:20:59,100
achieves his victory.
The angel asked him to select

344
00:20:59,100 –> 00:21:02,300
his army.
And it’s a lovely picture.

345
00:21:02,300 –> 00:21:04,400
Actually, the coming of the
Lord, Jesus Christ, Gideon,

346
00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:08,600
blows the trumpet, and he has
3,000.

347
00:21:08,700 –> 00:21:11,400
There are 30,000 men, come and
join him.

348
00:21:11,900 –> 00:21:13,300
And the angel said, it’s too
many.

349
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:17,300
So despite the fact when the
trumpet was heard, this great

350
00:21:17,300 –> 00:21:20,900
congregation gathered, the angel
said, we need to have a process

351
00:21:20,900 –> 00:21:23,400
of elimination here because
there’s too many.

352
00:21:24,700 –> 00:21:28,000
And by process of elimination
Gideon is, you know, we thought

353
00:21:28,000 –> 00:21:33,400
it down to only 300 men.
I know the night before the

354
00:21:33,408 –> 00:21:38,100
battle, the angel said to
Gideon, I think you need some

355
00:21:38,100 –> 00:21:40,500
encouragement here Gideon.
I want you to sneak down into

356
00:21:40,500 –> 00:21:45,000
the midianite camp, then just
hear the outcome of a dream just

357
00:21:45,000 –> 00:21:46,700
before we go and fight this
battle.

358
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:49,500
And remember how Gideon
crouching down outside the

359
00:21:49,500 –> 00:21:52,000
midianite.
Tent heard, the story of The

360
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:56,100
Barley loaf rolling down and
Opening the midianite army.

361
00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:01,700
And all the angel did bring
sisters was tell Gideon to go

362
00:22:01,700 –> 00:22:03,800
and listen to somebody else’s
dream.

363
00:22:04,900 –> 00:22:08,500
And the battle was done and
remember the weapons that Gideon

364
00:22:08,500 –> 00:22:14,300
chose to go into battle.
He chose trumpets and voices.

365
00:22:15,700 –> 00:22:18,800
and when they surrounded, the
host of Midian Gideon, said when

366
00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:22,500
it when I give the work in a way
to break the picture, I don’t

367
00:22:22,500 –> 00:22:26,600
wait to blow the trumpet, which
in the other hand, the cry

368
00:22:26,700 –> 00:22:32,600
ambidextrous to be in Gideon’s
Army sword torch in a picture,

369
00:22:33,500 –> 00:22:36,000
breaking one shouting blowing, a
trumpet.

370
00:22:36,300 –> 00:22:37,500
I don’t know.
They did all that.

371
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:40,100
This is what was like holding
trumpets for each other somehow

372
00:22:40,700 –> 00:22:45,200
but when the moment came, they
shouted a sword for the Lord and

373
00:22:45,200 –> 00:22:48,100
for Gideon and they blew the
trumpet and the battle was done.

374
00:22:49,700 –> 00:22:53,700
I know, all the angel did
Brethren sisters was remind

375
00:22:54,100 –> 00:22:56,700
Gideon that this battle is not
his.

376
00:22:57,200 –> 00:23:01,100
All this work was already done.
I’ll all he had to do.

377
00:23:01,200 –> 00:23:06,400
I say all was to play his part,
in this Grand flow of the work

378
00:23:06,400 –> 00:23:09,800
that God was to do.
Well, you might remember and

379
00:23:09,800 –> 00:23:13,800
sisters the last time, Michael
appears in scripture which part

380
00:23:13,800 –> 00:23:16,700
of Revelations, you think you
would expect to meet Michael

381
00:23:21,400 –> 00:23:23,700
It’s in the blowing of the
trumpets, right?

382
00:23:23,900 –> 00:23:28,200
Michael doesn’t stand up until
the last Trump is about to

383
00:23:28,200 –> 00:23:31,500
sound, which is why the Apostle
Paul said, isn’t it at the last

384
00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:36,500
Trump that the dead in Christ
will rise and all these, all

385
00:23:36,500 –> 00:23:38,700
these templates.
Now, come to the fore and at the

386
00:23:38,700 –> 00:23:43,200
last trumpet, sound Michael
stood up in heaven and he Realty

387
00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:45,500
Group you kick, you remember the
description given there.

388
00:23:45,800 –> 00:23:49,600
It says, it was that old sir.
The devil, that’s who Michael

389
00:23:49,600 –> 00:23:53,500
cast out of out of Heaven, by
his word.

390
00:23:53,900 –> 00:23:56,700
And and you kind of got to kind
of work out what these metaphors

391
00:23:56,700 –> 00:23:59,800
are telling you, bro, sisters
that the serpent can only be

392
00:23:59,800 –> 00:24:03,000
removed by ancestors from your
life from Gideon’s life from

393
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:06,000
Joshua’s life, from the life of
the Lord Jesus Christ, by the

394
00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:10,400
power of the word of God and it
can be done and when the Lord

395
00:24:10,400 –> 00:24:14,400
Jesus Christ will descend with a
shout and with the voice of the

396
00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:17,400
Archangel Steve, alluded to it
earlier there was that there was

397
00:24:17,400 –> 00:24:20,800
a Statement there in Hebrews to
where it said, God subjected the

398
00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:24,800
the world that was into the
hands of the Angels, but not the

399
00:24:24,800 –> 00:24:26,900
world to come.
That’s in the hand of the Lord

400
00:24:26,900 –> 00:24:29,000
Jesus Christ.
And it’s almost like the Baton

401
00:24:29,000 –> 00:24:30,700
is now being handed on.
Isn’t it?

402
00:24:30,700 –> 00:24:33,600
The, with the voice of the
Archangel, Michael has kept

403
00:24:33,600 –> 00:24:36,700
everything in place that God
needed to be done for all these

404
00:24:36,700 –> 00:24:39,600
years.
And now, with his voice, he

405
00:24:39,600 –> 00:24:42,400
hands over that work to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the Lord

406
00:24:42,400 –> 00:24:46,200
descends, and the world to come
is now putting some Jetson into

407
00:24:46,200 –> 00:24:47,500
the hands of the Lord Jesus
Christ.

408
00:24:47,700 –> 00:24:51,900
Missed and maybe burn sisters,
we can hear that voice.

409
00:24:52,100 –> 00:24:54,700
So often is for how we finished,
our first sessions knit, that

410
00:24:54,700 –> 00:24:57,800
voice is clear and it gets fuzzy
and it gets Willian, it gets

411
00:24:58,100 –> 00:25:01,500
difficult to hear.
But if you feel your enemies are

412
00:25:01,500 –> 00:25:03,700
too great to be overcome Bronte
sisters.

413
00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:07,100
Then just here though the only
thing the Archangel is ever

414
00:25:07,100 –> 00:25:10,900
described as saying The Lord
rebuke you.

415
00:25:11,900 –> 00:25:14,000
And the final enemy, who will
hear that?

416
00:25:14,000 –> 00:25:16,900
Rebuke Brynn.
Sisters, is that old serpent

417
00:25:16,900 –> 00:25:22,000
himself the devil What upwind
difference is it that voice will

418
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:25,500
come when the Lord Jesus Christ
comes with a shout.

419
00:25:26,200 –> 00:25:30,300
All the all these things will be
brought with him and our enemies

420
00:25:30,300 –> 00:25:34,400
too will be destroyed in great
Pomp and ceremony just like they

421
00:25:34,400 –> 00:25:36,600
were for Joshua and forget him.
