Joni Mannell – Class 5: Devotional – With the sound of the trumpet

1
00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:57,000
Well, good morning everyone and
welcome.

2
00:00:58,000 –> 00:01:02,500
So this morning, as we prepare
ourselves to go and break bread,

3
00:01:02,500 –> 00:01:06,900
we get to think about the last
of our Trilogy of statements.

4
00:01:06,900 –> 00:01:13,400
That the Apostle Paul told us in
1 Thessalonians would be the

5
00:01:13,400 –> 00:01:17,100
marks of the coming of the Lord.
Jesus Christ for the Lord he

6
00:01:17,100 –> 00:01:21,000
said himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout with the

7
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:25,300
voice of the Archangel and with
the Of God and it’s somehow

8
00:01:25,300 –> 00:01:27,100
fitting isn’t it?
Because the next thing he goes

9
00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:32,400
on to say is as you know and the
dead in Christ will rise first

10
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:35,700
and then we, which are alive and
remain will be caught up

11
00:01:35,700 –> 00:01:38,600
together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air.

12
00:01:39,400 –> 00:01:42,400
And so, shall we ever be with
the Lord?

13
00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:46,300
Wherefore Comfort.
One, another, with these words,

14
00:01:46,300 –> 00:01:47,600
it’s kind of fitting in a way,
isn’t it?

15
00:01:47,600 –> 00:01:53,100
That we get to, or I get to try
and raise the trumpet sound this

16
00:01:53,100 –> 00:01:55,700
morning.
And as we prepare to go and be

17
00:01:55,700 –> 00:01:59,600
as it were ever with the Lord,
just get a little taste in some

18
00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:03,300
small way as we sit together at
the Lord’s table, at his table,

19
00:02:04,000 –> 00:02:09,199
we get to just imagine what it
will be like one day when all of

20
00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:12,000
these things, which today you’re
wrapped up in symbol and

21
00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:17,200
metaphor become a reality.
So I hope you enjoy the next

22
00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:19,700
hour as we think about those
those things together.

23
00:02:19,800 –> 00:02:22,300
Just remain seated with even
just bow your heads in prayer,

24
00:02:25,700 –> 00:02:28,700
Logan, Eternal.
Father, we come to you with a

25
00:02:28,708 –> 00:02:35,100
deep sense of thankfulness and
gratitude for The things that

26
00:02:35,100 –> 00:02:40,900
have been passed down to us,
that have become our inheritance

27
00:02:41,300 –> 00:02:45,400
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
And we thank you for the time

28
00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:51,000
that has been afforded to us to
think about these things and too

29
00:02:52,300 –> 00:02:56,800
Give us the opportunity to order
our lives around them and to

30
00:02:56,800 –> 00:03:01,100
ensure that the things that are
the most important thing.

31
00:03:01,100 –> 00:03:04,800
Remained the most important
thing in our lives and that we

32
00:03:04,800 –> 00:03:08,200
never lose sight of the coming
day.

33
00:03:08,600 –> 00:03:12,200
When your son will be revealed
and we pray, you’ll be with us

34
00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:17,100
this morning, Father
individually collectively that

35
00:03:17,100 –> 00:03:22,600
we as we bring ourselves and our
hearts and our thoughts, No

36
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:28,500
issues to your table and we pray
will leave father with an answer

37
00:03:28,500 –> 00:03:31,200
of peace.
So be with us today.

38
00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:32,600
We pray for the sake of the
Lord.

39
00:03:32,600 –> 00:03:37,500
Jesus.
Okay, brother Owen is going to

40
00:03:37,500 –> 00:03:39,900
begin by Leading us in a reading
of the last.

41
00:03:39,900 –> 00:03:47,700
Psalm, Psalm 150.
And the last song, Almost

42
00:03:47,700 –> 00:03:51,800
includes the last trumpet.
All right, so just a lovely way

43
00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:54,900
to begin this morning.
So Psalm 150,

44
00:04:13,400 –> 00:04:17,800
So, I’m 150.
Praise the Lord.

45
00:04:18,300 –> 00:04:23,400
Praise God in his sanctuary.
Praising in his Mercy, 12.

46
00:04:24,800 –> 00:04:29,900
Praise him for his mighty Acts.
Praise Him according to his

47
00:04:29,900 –> 00:04:34,400
excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the

48
00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:38,100
trumpet.
Praise him with the lute and

49
00:04:38,100 –> 00:04:41,800
harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and

50
00:04:41,800 –> 00:04:45,400
dance.
Praise him with stringed

51
00:04:45,400 –> 00:04:50,100
instruments and flutes.
Praise him with loud, cymbals

52
00:04:50,900 –> 00:04:55,900
praise him with bashing symbols.
Let everything that has breath.

53
00:04:56,500 –> 00:04:59,600
Praise the Lord, praise the
Lord.

54
00:05:08,700 –> 00:05:11,700
Thanks for another lovely
progression through that song as

55
00:05:11,700 –> 00:05:16,600
you reach the the moment when
all the orchestra is introduced

56
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:20,900
and the first sound that you
hear is the sound of the trumpet

57
00:05:21,700 –> 00:05:25,000
and and it and it ends with the
last sound that you hear which

58
00:05:25,000 –> 00:05:28,100
is that the sound of everything
that has breath.

59
00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:33,200
Praise the Lord, right?
And so there is to be a there is

60
00:05:33,200 –> 00:05:39,100
to be a movement from the things
that He sounds and that give

61
00:05:39,100 –> 00:05:44,300
these announcements of Praise
from from a, from a man-made

62
00:05:44,300 –> 00:05:48,300
instrument, or from an inanimate
object into you.

63
00:05:48,300 –> 00:05:51,300
And me that that’s the
progression here from this arm,

64
00:05:51,300 –> 00:05:55,200
isn’t it?
That the trumpet sound whenever

65
00:05:55,200 –> 00:05:57,900
it sounds I’m going to look at
some of the the occasions this

66
00:05:57,900 –> 00:06:00,900
morning throughout history.
When it sounded it was a

67
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:05,000
foretaste of the fact that the
way that sound will end by the

68
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:07,700
grace of God and you and I will
have the Opportunity to

69
00:06:07,700 –> 00:06:10,400
participate in.
It will be that all things that

70
00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:12,800
have breath.
Praise the Lord.

71
00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:16,700
Okay, not in animal objects but
as the Apostle Paul would

72
00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:19,700
describe life-giving
instruments.

73
00:06:21,300 –> 00:06:24,400
He’s talking about you and me.
Not orchestral ones.

74
00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:27,900
Okay it’s a lovely moment that
so I thought we should stand and

75
00:06:27,900 –> 00:06:33,300
sing our version or a version of
that Psalm in the in him 75.

76
00:06:34,000 –> 00:06:38,300
Oh Praise ye the Lord Praise Him
in the Heights rejoice in his

77
00:06:38,300 –> 00:06:43,200
word he angels of light Psalm
150 I noticed we’re all a bit

78
00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:45,400
kind of not sure when to stand
up and sit down when we’ve been

79
00:06:45,400 –> 00:06:47,600
thinking this weekend.
So I’m like please stand when

80
00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:51,300
you hear the the introduction
being played and let’s Ready to

81
00:06:51,300 –> 00:06:55,700
give voice with our life-giving
instruments to the words of this

82
00:06:55,700 –> 00:06:57,400
song.
Psalm 115.

83
00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:24,600
Thank you.
I’m a Yorkshire boy at heart and

84
00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:31,100
where I grew up in Leeds, not
far from the leads.

85
00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:32,800
I was going to say leads
International Airport.

86
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:36,700
Lots of way over statement.
When I was kid, I think it was

87
00:09:36,700 –> 00:09:40,200
called leeds/bradford airports,
which is pretty much the extent

88
00:09:40,200 –> 00:09:44,400
of all the surviving and sorry,
that was a reminiscence.

89
00:09:44,400 –> 00:09:50,100
You didn’t need I remember as a
kid for some reason, I said I

90
00:09:50,108 –> 00:09:52,400
did it.
What it was and whether it was

91
00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:54,800
just a thing in Leeds or whether
it was a national thing.

92
00:09:54,800 –> 00:09:58,300
I’m not sure what they would
still occasionally test the air

93
00:09:58,300 –> 00:10:04,800
raid sirens that had been used
during the war and there was one

94
00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:07,900
not far from our house and we
live kind of on the on the edge

95
00:10:07,900 –> 00:10:12,600
of lead so you know it on a
windy day the sound would carry

96
00:10:12,600 –> 00:10:16,500
and I remember as a kid saying
to Dad what it what is that?

97
00:10:16,500 –> 00:10:19,900
What is that?
Sound the other never heard it

98
00:10:19,900 –> 00:10:21,600
before course.
There’s a kid.

99
00:10:21,600 –> 00:10:26,300
I, you know, Union said not have
needed to hear it when it was

100
00:10:26,300 –> 00:10:32,200
first installed, and My parents
both grew up in London as

101
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:35,700
children, they were born and
very late nineteen thirties.

102
00:10:36,500 –> 00:10:40,200
So their childhood memories
grow, keep growing up in London.

103
00:10:40,200 –> 00:10:42,600
In fact, it’s kind of one of the
reason I think I ended up being

104
00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:46,800
a yorkshireman because they
ended up being evacuated away

105
00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:49,900
from them than his children.
They’re at their childhood

106
00:10:49,900 –> 00:10:54,000
memories, of course, will
hearing that sound in London and

107
00:10:54,000 –> 00:10:57,000
my dad remembers heading off to
the air, raid shelter in the

108
00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:01,200
playground at school.
You know when It would be heard

109
00:11:01,400 –> 00:11:04,600
and it was interesting to watch
his reaction when when the sound

110
00:11:04,600 –> 00:11:08,900
would give off, right?
Because whilst it was, it was

111
00:11:09,400 –> 00:11:13,500
irrelevant, you know, on a on a
Saturday morning, in Yorkshire

112
00:11:13,500 –> 00:11:18,500
in the mid-1980s to hear that
sound, replayed, you could see,

113
00:11:18,700 –> 00:11:20,900
you could see, it sounds have
triggers, don’t they?

114
00:11:20,900 –> 00:11:23,800
And you could see some of the
things that, that would

115
00:11:24,100 –> 00:11:26,000
reimagine again.
I don’t know why they were still

116
00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:27,300
playing them in the nineteen
eighties.

117
00:11:27,300 –> 00:11:29,500
I suspect may be among those
Yorkshire.

118
00:11:29,900 –> 00:11:32,300
A lot of philosophies that at
some point, we’re probably going

119
00:11:32,300 –> 00:11:34,100
to get invaded by somebody
anyway.

120
00:11:34,400 –> 00:11:37,300
And if it wasn’t the Russian to
explore going to be lancastrians

121
00:11:38,100 –> 00:11:41,500
for similar County desperate to
acquire the Brass Band, as

122
00:11:41,500 –> 00:11:45,000
their, the only art form that,
we’ve managed to take as our

123
00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:47,600
own, so it was worth keeping
them active, you know, for any

124
00:11:47,600 –> 00:11:52,800
of those eventualities.
The pointer wanted to make

125
00:11:52,800 –> 00:11:56,100
princesses.
It seems to me a little bit that

126
00:11:57,600 –> 00:12:00,400
when Israel heard the sound of
the trumpet.

127
00:12:02,100 –> 00:12:06,600
Instead of a triggering in them,
this great sense of awe, and

128
00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:12,700
wonder, and Delight that God was
calling out to them, to come to

129
00:12:12,700 –> 00:12:15,300
him.
It had that sense.

130
00:12:15,300 –> 00:12:21,600
I saw in my dad of the air raid
siren this kind of sense of

131
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:26,000
foreboding and this sense of
unease that was not a sound to

132
00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:30,100
be enjoyed or to be received
with gladness.

133
00:12:31,100 –> 00:12:32,300
And you get the sense, don’t
you?

134
00:12:32,300 –> 00:12:35,800
In fact even Moses said the fact
let’s get into it, shall we?

135
00:12:35,800 –> 00:12:38,800
Come with me to Exodus 19.
The first time you hear the

136
00:12:38,800 –> 00:12:42,800
trumpet sound in scripture and
of course, it’s an important

137
00:12:43,500 –> 00:12:49,800
moment because it’s a it signals
in a way it sets off that the

138
00:12:49,800 –> 00:12:53,700
the catalog of moments when that
sound will be heard throughout

139
00:12:53,700 –> 00:12:58,400
scriptural history and and you
might recall it here in Exodus

140
00:12:58,400 –> 00:13:02,500
chapter 19, three times.
We’re told here in Exodus 19.

141
00:13:02,500 –> 00:13:05,700
You know, that, you know, the
context just make sure our minds

142
00:13:05,700 –> 00:13:08,200
are there this morning.
So that the children of Israel

143
00:13:08,200 –> 00:13:11,700
of arrived at saini.
I we given the timings there and

144
00:13:11,700 –> 00:13:14,100
in the opening verses of Exodus
chapter 19.

145
00:13:14,300 –> 00:13:16,900
And for the first time as a
nation, since they crossed the

146
00:13:16,900 –> 00:13:20,100
Red Sea and they left Egypt,
they’ve arrived at the mountain

147
00:13:20,400 –> 00:13:24,400
and God calls them to come and
have a conversation with him

148
00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:27,600
through Moses.
And three times were told that

149
00:13:27,600 –> 00:13:31,800
one of the, the great sounds of
that He was going to be the

150
00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:33,600
truth.
It sounds so in Exodus chapter

151
00:13:33,600 –> 00:13:37,400
19 and verse Where should we
begin?

152
00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:43,000
Verse 12, you will set balance
to the people round about

153
00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:44,400
saying, take heed to yourselves
that.

154
00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:46,900
You do not up into the mount or
touch the border of it.

155
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:50,200
Whoever touches the mountain
shall be surely put to death.

156
00:13:50,200 –> 00:13:53,100
So we did have this, there was
this dual aspect to it.

157
00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:57,900
Wasn’t there that there was this
sense of trepidation to some

158
00:13:57,900 –> 00:14:01,800
degree about what what the
significance of this occasion.

159
00:14:02,000 –> 00:14:06,500
And these moments were to be
about, in fact, verse 13, there

160
00:14:06,500 –> 00:14:10,400
will not a hand touch it.
The mountain that is but he

161
00:14:10,400 –> 00:14:13,500
shall surely be stoned or shot
through whether it be Beast or

162
00:14:13,500 –> 00:14:17,700
man, it will not live.
When the trumpet sound of long,

163
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:22,900
they will come up to the Mount.
So the first sound that they

164
00:14:22,900 –> 00:14:25,100
were going to hear that was
going to signify that they were

165
00:14:25,100 –> 00:14:27,900
being called to come and meet
with God.

166
00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:30,000
What was this sound of the
trumpet?

167
00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:34,300
And it was going to sound long
and loud and even noses were

168
00:14:34,308 –> 00:14:38,300
told in the letter to the
Hebrews said I exceedingly.

169
00:14:38,400 –> 00:14:44,100
Feared and quaked when I heard
that sound and it comes again in

170
00:14:44,100 –> 00:14:48,900
verse 16, it came to pass on the
third day in the morning that

171
00:14:48,900 –> 00:14:52,000
there were Thunders and
Lightnings and a thick Cloud on

172
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:56,300
the mountain and the voice of
the trumpet exceeding loud.

173
00:14:56,300 –> 00:14:59,500
So that all the people in the
camp trembled?

174
00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,000
Right, can you imagine that kind
of resonance?

175
00:15:03,300 –> 00:15:08,800
And with all of its connotations
and and it struck a sentence Of

176
00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:14,100
something into the, the hearts
and the feelings of the children

177
00:15:14,100 –> 00:15:16,600
of Israel.
And it comes again in verse 19.

178
00:15:16,900 –> 00:15:20,900
And when the voice of the
trumpet sounded along and watch

179
00:15:20,900 –> 00:15:27,700
the loud and louder, Moses spoke
and God answered him by a voice.

180
00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:31,200
I mean, this is a dramatic
occasion, isn’t it here?

181
00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:34,400
There’s no question.
God wanted to announce something

182
00:15:34,400 –> 00:15:38,300
very significant with this with
this congregation this.

183
00:15:38,400 –> 00:15:40,500
Generation.
This group of people who have

184
00:15:40,500 –> 00:15:43,800
been redeemed out of Egypt and
they’ve arrived now at the

185
00:15:43,800 –> 00:15:45,900
mountain to which God had said
all along.

186
00:15:46,000 –> 00:15:49,400
They will worship me on this
mountain and they’ve arrived.

187
00:15:49,400 –> 00:15:52,400
I got is announcing that fact
and he wants them to know it’s

188
00:15:52,400 –> 00:15:56,100
significant and the trumpet is
getting louder and louder.

189
00:15:56,100 –> 00:16:00,700
And Moses speaking and God is
answering and this is a dramatic

190
00:16:00,700 –> 00:16:02,800
occasion, isn’t it?
And Stephen took us to this

191
00:16:03,100 –> 00:16:06,500
chapter yesterday because the
cloud is going to descend on the

192
00:16:06,500 –> 00:16:12,500
mountain there. and it’s right,
isn’t it that Paul may have been

193
00:16:12,500 –> 00:16:17,000
thinking about this when he
wrote 1 Thessalonians 4:16

194
00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:22,500
Because he said the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a

195
00:16:22,508 –> 00:16:27,100
trumpet.
And the dead in Christ shall

196
00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:32,100
rise first and we will go to
meet with the Lord, and we will

197
00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:35,200
forever be with in there.
And did you notice the reverse

198
00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:37,000
13?
That was the essence of it,

199
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:40,500
wasn’t it?
When the trumpet sound of long,

200
00:16:40,500 –> 00:16:42,200
they will come up to the
mountain.

201
00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:48,700
And, and in verse 15, we’re told
Moses said to the people be

202
00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:52,500
ready against the third day,
come not at your wives.

203
00:16:52,500 –> 00:16:56,000
And in verse 17, Moses brought
forth the people out of the camp

204
00:16:56,100 –> 00:17:01,700
to meet with God.
So, you can see why this

205
00:17:01,700 –> 00:17:07,400
incident.
Stands in a way.

206
00:17:09,200 –> 00:17:13,800
As a template for the day, when
the sound will be sounded out

207
00:17:13,800 –> 00:17:18,300
for you and me that and the
first use of the trumpet in

208
00:17:18,300 –> 00:17:22,000
scripture was this, this great
voice that was designed to call

209
00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:24,300
the people.
It was a great sound and

210
00:17:24,300 –> 00:17:28,400
everybody was to understand its
voice and they were all to come

211
00:17:28,500 –> 00:17:32,700
and to meet with God and to be
with him there forever.

212
00:17:33,800 –> 00:17:37,000
It’s not how it worked out.
Of course, on this occasion.

213
00:17:38,600 –> 00:17:43,500
But it’s how it will work out
finally, when it’s used the next

214
00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:49,500
time. so, we have the sound of
the trumpet.

215
00:17:49,600 –> 00:17:52,900
We have the cloud coming down on
the mountain.

216
00:17:54,200 –> 00:17:57,900
And in a moment, princesses, I
put it to you, we have the voice

217
00:17:57,900 –> 00:18:01,400
of the archangel.
And you have to wait till this

218
00:18:01,400 –> 00:18:04,300
afternoon to hear the shout.
All right, so hold on to that

219
00:18:04,300 –> 00:18:07,500
thought.
Before we finish today.

220
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:12,500
And we know this incident is
important in that context.

221
00:18:12,500 –> 00:18:16,000
Prince’s if you keep a finger in
Exodus 19 Community, Hebrews 12

222
00:18:16,400 –> 00:18:18,400
because of course if you
remember the way this incident

223
00:18:18,400 –> 00:18:22,400
is positioned here by the writer
to the Hebrews.

224
00:18:24,500 –> 00:18:28,300
It’s used as the contrasting
image, isn’t it?

225
00:18:28,300 –> 00:18:35,100
The the antitype almost of, of
the day when that we’ve been

226
00:18:35,100 –> 00:18:41,300
thinking about this weekend?
Hebrews chapter 12 and verse 18.

227
00:18:42,000 –> 00:18:44,800
You remember these words, we are
not coming to the mountain that

228
00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:47,600
might be touched, right?
We just read about that.

229
00:18:48,000 –> 00:18:51,200
This was a physical experience
here at Sinai.

230
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:53,000
That’s not the mounting.
We’ve come to.

231
00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:57,900
It’s not tangible in that way.
And that burned with fire and to

232
00:18:57,900 –> 00:18:59,900
Blackness and darkness and
Tempest.

233
00:19:00,000 –> 00:19:03,900
And the sound of the trumpet was
there, and the voice of Words

234
00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:07,900
which voice they who heard in
treated that, the word should be

235
00:19:07,900 –> 00:19:10,100
spoken to them.
No more.

236
00:19:10,400 –> 00:19:12,400
And that was their response to
this occasion, wasn’t it?

237
00:19:12,400 –> 00:19:14,600
They said to Moses.
Listen, it’s probably safer

238
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:17,200
that.
We don’t get consumed by this

239
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:21,500
experience.
You do the talking and we’ll

240
00:19:21,500 –> 00:19:25,800
listen to you.
All right, so, this is this

241
00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,500
incident is being positioned
here coronavirus 20, they could

242
00:19:29,500 –> 00:19:31,100
find or that, which was
commanded.

243
00:19:31,100 –> 00:19:34,300
And if so much, as a beast touch
the mountain, it shall be stoned

244
00:19:34,300 –> 00:19:37,300
or thrust through with a dart.
And so terrible was the sight.

245
00:19:37,300 –> 00:19:43,400
That Moses said, I exceedingly
fear and Quake, And then the

246
00:19:43,400 –> 00:19:46,400
writer moves on now and says,
well, what about you and me?

247
00:19:46,400 –> 00:19:49,500
Then it’s not the same
experience for us.

248
00:19:49,600 –> 00:19:57,400
It’s the same in principle, but
it’s different in practice. but

249
00:19:57,400 –> 00:20:02,400
you verse 22 of come to Mount,
Zion And to the city of the

250
00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:06,300
Living, God the heavenly
Jerusalem and to an innumerable

251
00:20:06,300 –> 00:20:09,400
company of angels and to the
general assembly and to the

252
00:20:09,400 –> 00:20:13,000
Church of the firstborn which
are written in heaven.

253
00:20:15,200 –> 00:20:19,400
And to God, the judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men

254
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:25,200
made perfect and to Jesus, the
mediator of the New Covenant and

255
00:20:25,200 –> 00:20:29,000
the blood of sprinkling that
speaks better things than that

256
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:33,700
of Abel that lovely.
So in a way, we have been this,

257
00:20:33,700 –> 00:20:36,700
all these things do have
relevance to us, but they’re

258
00:20:36,700 –> 00:20:40,100
different for us and our
response to them needs to be

259
00:20:40,100 –> 00:20:43,000
different to the response that
was experienced there when they

260
00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:46,700
were heard and experienced and
felt First time so it’s right

261
00:20:46,700 –> 00:20:49,900
isn’t it that we see this moment
in Exodus 19 as having some

262
00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:52,700
relevance for the times that
we’re thinking about this

263
00:20:52,700 –> 00:20:56,500
weekend and that the Hebrew
writer positions them, right?

264
00:20:56,500 –> 00:21:00,500
Alongside one another there so
that we can see the lessons and

265
00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:03,800
see the template is it’s being
presented to us.

266
00:21:04,600 –> 00:21:09,700
Now notice what the writer to
the Hebrews goes on to say next

267
00:21:09,700 –> 00:21:21,100
verse This. 25.
See that you refuse not him, who

268
00:21:21,100 –> 00:21:25,900
speaks?
For if they escaped Nazi refused

269
00:21:25,900 –> 00:21:29,400
him who spoke on Earth, how much
more shall not?

270
00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:32,700
We escape if we turn away from
him.

271
00:21:33,100 –> 00:21:36,800
Who speaks from Heaven, whose
voices end shook the Earth.

272
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:40,800
But now he has promised saying,
yet once more, I will shake, not

273
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:44,000
the Earth, only, but also
heaven.

274
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:47,000
So as Richard was just stopping
in trying thinking about that

275
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:51,400
for a moment and sisters, when
it says there, if they if they

276
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:56,000
escape not who refused Who spoke
on Earth, how much more shall we

277
00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:58,700
not Escape?
Who was the one who spoke on

278
00:21:58,700 –> 00:22:03,400
Earth whom they refused to whom?
Do you think the Apostle is

279
00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:07,200
referring there?
When, when he describes him?

280
00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:14,400
Who speaks And to make sure that
we refuse not him, who speaks to

281
00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:18,700
us, he was the one who spoke to
them.

282
00:22:19,700 –> 00:22:23,100
Welcome back with me, Brent,
sisters to to Exodus this time

283
00:22:23,400 –> 00:22:37,400
to chapter 23.
So he’s not given specific

284
00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:41,400
mention there, in Exodus chapter
19 but by the time we get to

285
00:22:41,400 –> 00:22:45,400
Exodus chapter 23, you remember,
we are introduced to this

286
00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:52,700
special angel.
Verse 20 behold.

287
00:22:52,700 –> 00:22:56,700
I send an angel before you to
keep you in the way.

288
00:22:58,500 –> 00:23:01,900
The role of this, Angel was
specifically to keep this

289
00:23:02,800 –> 00:23:05,900
generation in the way beautiful
phrase.

290
00:23:05,900 –> 00:23:07,100
That is there.
We thought about it in our

291
00:23:07,100 –> 00:23:09,800
discussion group, yesterday, it
was the same commission that

292
00:23:09,800 –> 00:23:14,300
have been given to Noah because
all flesh had corrupted his way.

293
00:23:14,500 –> 00:23:16,600
It was the same commission that
have been given to Abraham.

294
00:23:16,800 –> 00:23:19,100
I know him that he will command
his children and his household

295
00:23:19,100 –> 00:23:21,100
after him, and they will keep
the way.

296
00:23:21,900 –> 00:23:25,400
And the role of this Angel was
to now keep this company of

297
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:29,600
people in the weigh-in.
God’s way.

298
00:23:31,700 –> 00:23:35,300
And to bring you into the place
there’s 20 which I have prepared

299
00:23:35,300 –> 00:23:41,000
beware of him and obey his voice
provoke him.

300
00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:44,900
Not for he will not pardon your
transgression for my name is in

301
00:23:44,900 –> 00:23:49,000
him, but if you will indeed obey
his voice and do all the time I

302
00:23:49,008 –> 00:23:54,500
speak, then I will be an enemy
to your enemies and an adversary

303
00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:57,800
to your adversaries.
Another lovely description of

304
00:23:57,808 –> 00:24:02,200
this, the role of this angel.
He will be an adversary to your

305
00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:05,400
adversaries.
All right, he will lead you in

306
00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:07,500
the way.
He will bring you to the place,

307
00:24:08,200 –> 00:24:12,900
and if you obey his voice, then
I will, I will fight your

308
00:24:12,900 –> 00:24:18,900
enemies for you refuse.
Not him who speaks And that and

309
00:24:18,900 –> 00:24:23,400
the one who was going to speak
to them, was this angel that God

310
00:24:23,400 –> 00:24:27,500
had specifically appointed and
the instruction of God to the

311
00:24:27,500 –> 00:24:32,400
people was obey his voice, not
lovely.

312
00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:37,500
Well just keep a finger in
Exodus and just come to Acts

313
00:24:37,500 –> 00:24:46,100
chapter 7 just quickly because I
think Steven just also adds a

314
00:24:46,100 –> 00:24:49,100
little flourish here in his
commentary.

315
00:24:49,100 –> 00:24:55,800
Next seven or two the
personality of this angel.

316
00:25:04,500 –> 00:25:08,600
Acts chapter 7, verse 38.
Speaking of Moses, Stephen says,

317
00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:11,600
this is he who was in the church
in the wilderness with the

318
00:25:11,600 –> 00:25:15,900
angel, which spake to him in the
Mount Sinai eye, and with our

319
00:25:15,900 –> 00:25:21,100
fathers, who received the Lively
oracle’s to given to us to whom

320
00:25:21,100 –> 00:25:25,400
our fathers would not obey but
thrust him from them and in

321
00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:28,100
their hearts turned back again
to Egypt.

322
00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:30,500
So, again, this is Steven just
adding this little flourish,

323
00:25:30,500 –> 00:25:33,200
isn’t it?
That Moses was with the angel

324
00:25:33,800 –> 00:25:37,500
and it was Angels Voice, who
with Moses was speaking to the

325
00:25:37,500 –> 00:25:39,700
congregation.
So there we have our moment,

326
00:25:39,700 –> 00:25:41,100
don’t we?
We have our moment that the

327
00:25:41,100 –> 00:25:44,900
Apostle Paul wants us to
identify and see here when the

328
00:25:44,900 –> 00:25:49,000
Lord himself descended with,
with, with the the voice of the

329
00:25:49,000 –> 00:25:52,500
Archangel who was there.
It was him who was with Moses in

330
00:25:52,500 –> 00:25:55,200
the mountain and the pleading of
God obey.

331
00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:59,500
His voice do not refuse him, who
speaks because he is able to

332
00:25:59,500 –> 00:26:02,600
lead you in the way and bring
you into the place of which I

333
00:26:02,600 –> 00:26:05,100
have spoken off.
And And it and if we should have

334
00:26:05,100 –> 00:26:07,400
to learn, anything says, the
writer to the Hebrews, about the

335
00:26:07,400 –> 00:26:11,200
fact that Israel refused to
listen to his voice, then they

336
00:26:11,200 –> 00:26:14,500
it biron sisters, we refuse, not
him, who speaks to us.

337
00:26:16,100 –> 00:26:19,900
The one who will also come with
a shout and with the sound of

338
00:26:19,900 –> 00:26:23,800
the trumpet and with the voice
of the Archangel.

339
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:27,700
So a little template picture
here, that it’s worth noting.

340
00:26:27,800 –> 00:26:30,100
And of course, the response of
Israel bread sisters comes in

341
00:26:30,100 –> 00:26:36,800
Deuteronomy chapter 4, This Is
How They responded to Moses and

342
00:26:36,800 –> 00:26:41,500
to this Angel, which again maybe
just gives us some some some

343
00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:45,300
context and some other reference
points as to their their

344
00:26:45,300 –> 00:26:47,600
experience in their
understanding and Moses

345
00:26:48,200 –> 00:26:55,500
experience with this angel.
Deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse.

346
00:26:57,300 –> 00:27:01,800
32 and Moses.
Now, many years later reminding

347
00:27:01,800 –> 00:27:04,100
the children of Israel of the
awesome nature of what they’d

348
00:27:04,100 –> 00:27:08,000
been invited to experience.
He says ask now the days that

349
00:27:08,000 –> 00:27:10,700
have passed, which will be for
you since the day that God

350
00:27:10,700 –> 00:27:14,100
created, man, upon Earth and ask
from one end of Heaven to the

351
00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:16,100
other.
Whether there has been any such

352
00:27:16,100 –> 00:27:20,700
thing as this great thing or has
has been heard like it did ever

353
00:27:20,700 –> 00:27:24,700
people, hear the voice of God
speaking out of the midst of the

354
00:27:24,700 –> 00:27:29,000
fire her as you have heard Live.
And it’s beautiful the way Moses

355
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:31,200
positions that experience of
Israel isn’t it?

356
00:27:31,208 –> 00:27:34,600
He said it was like hearing a
voice out of the fire and Moses

357
00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:37,200
was the one who turned the voice
out of the fire, isn’t it?

358
00:27:37,300 –> 00:27:39,900
He was the one who stood there
on the mountain before the

359
00:27:39,900 –> 00:27:43,200
burning bush being told to take
his sandals for off his feet

360
00:27:43,200 –> 00:27:46,200
because he was standing on.
Holy Ground and those, he says,

361
00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:49,300
it wasn’t just me.
Who had that experience that

362
00:27:49,300 –> 00:27:53,300
experience was multiplied out
and when the fire came down and

363
00:27:53,300 –> 00:27:57,900
burned the top of Mount Sinai.
I and you heard the Voice, that

364
00:27:57,900 –> 00:28:00,900
was the experience.
I’d had just me standing there

365
00:28:01,600 –> 00:28:04,700
on my own with God.
There in Exodus 3, and God

366
00:28:04,700 –> 00:28:07,300
multiplied, up that voice, and
you all heard it.

367
00:28:07,900 –> 00:28:11,400
You all have that experience of
God speaking out of the fire.

368
00:28:11,500 –> 00:28:13,700
And he’s almost using the
metaphor of the Bush.

369
00:28:13,700 –> 00:28:15,900
Isn’t he?
When the Bush was burned but was

370
00:28:15,900 –> 00:28:18,600
not consumed.
We were speaking yesterday about

371
00:28:18,600 –> 00:28:22,100
the power of fire and its
ability to destroy some things

372
00:28:22,100 –> 00:28:25,400
and purify others, and that that
it was the Marvel of the fact

373
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:28,400
that the bullshit was on Fire,
but was not consumed.

374
00:28:28,400 –> 00:28:30,100
That made Moses stand.
And look at it.

375
00:28:30,100 –> 00:28:32,300
Do you remember?
And now it’s almost as if he

376
00:28:32,300 –> 00:28:35,900
opens up this, Parable to the
whole congregation and he says

377
00:28:35,900 –> 00:28:38,800
you heard the voice of God out
of the fire.

378
00:28:38,900 –> 00:28:43,800
And you were not consumed.
God was inviting you to come and

379
00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:48,800
meet with him and be with him
did ever a nation ever on Earth.

380
00:28:48,800 –> 00:28:53,300
At any time, have an experience
like that and if you come over

381
00:28:53,300 –> 00:28:56,600
to chapter 5, he reminds them.
What?

382
00:28:56,800 –> 00:29:04,600
Happened. 5:23, it came to pass
when you heard the voice out of

383
00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:09,600
the midst of the darkness. for
the mountain was burning with

384
00:29:09,600 –> 00:29:13,900
fire that you came near and to
me, even all the heads of your

385
00:29:13,900 –> 00:29:19,800
tribes and your elders and you
said, Behold the Lord Our God

386
00:29:19,800 –> 00:29:25,200
has showed us his glory and his
greatness and we have heard his

387
00:29:25,200 –> 00:29:27,100
voice out of the midst of the
fire.

388
00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:33,200
We have seen this day that God
talked with man and he lives

389
00:29:33,700 –> 00:29:35,800
during that’s Jimmy, those
words, we have heard them

390
00:29:35,800 –> 00:29:40,000
yesterday on the lips of Gideon.
I’ve spoken with the Lord face

391
00:29:40,000 –> 00:29:42,800
to face.
And am I going to survive?

392
00:29:42,800 –> 00:29:51,700
It was his question. we have
heard the voice of God, and God

393
00:29:51,700 –> 00:29:55,000
speaks with man and he lives.
Now therefore this 25, why

394
00:29:55,000 –> 00:29:59,200
should we die?
For this great fire will consume

395
00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:01,700
us.
If we hear the voice of the

396
00:30:01,700 –> 00:30:05,000
Lord, Our God anymore there.
We shall die.

397
00:30:05,700 –> 00:30:09,000
For who is there of All Flesh?
That is heard the voice of the

398
00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:10,700
Living.
God speaking out of the midst of

399
00:30:10,700 –> 00:30:16,100
the fire as we have and lived
and so they said to Moses, you

400
00:30:16,100 –> 00:30:23,400
go near to God and all that you
speak to us, we will do it. and

401
00:30:23,400 –> 00:30:28,100
so Brendan sisters, we have our
choice to make this morning.

402
00:30:28,100 –> 00:30:30,900
Don’t worry about how we respond
to this sound.

403
00:30:32,100 –> 00:30:35,900
We spoke we wanted to yesterday
about the fact that we’ve been

404
00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:38,500
speaking about all the exciting,
the positive things about the

405
00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:43,300
coming of the Lord this weekend.
There’s a there’s a flip side to

406
00:30:43,308 –> 00:30:46,800
that coin, isn’t there?
It does come with a sense of

407
00:30:46,800 –> 00:30:52,900
awe, and authority, and
distinction.

408
00:30:53,800 –> 00:31:00,600
And Difference.
When that voice sounds, some

409
00:31:00,600 –> 00:31:04,600
will be raised to life.
And some will be raised to

410
00:31:04,600 –> 00:31:07,800
judgment and it’s, it’s a
challenge, isn’t it?

411
00:31:07,800 –> 00:31:10,600
For those of us have faith,
princesses, because we are

412
00:31:10,600 –> 00:31:11,900
supposed depends on your
character.

413
00:31:11,900 –> 00:31:15,900
We again, are you auctioning?
So we tend to assume the cup is

414
00:31:15,900 –> 00:31:18,600
normally half-empty spend most
of our Lives wondering.

415
00:31:18,600 –> 00:31:21,600
Whether on that day of
Resurrection, we ought to be

416
00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:24,900
hearing an air raid siren but
that’s kind of the natural

417
00:31:24,900 –> 00:31:28,000
tension that exists between this
point of definition that has to

418
00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:31,500
be made that when this sound is
heard, it will trigger a

419
00:31:31,500 –> 00:31:34,500
response.
That there will be a sense of

420
00:31:34,500 –> 00:31:38,000
something in the, in the ears of
those who hear its sound, and

421
00:31:38,000 –> 00:31:40,500
the voice of God, and the
invitation to come and meet with

422
00:31:40,500 –> 00:31:42,900
him.
As all the chances we’ve been

423
00:31:42,900 –> 00:31:46,000
given Francis has all the days
of our lives that have been laid

424
00:31:46,000 –> 00:31:48,400
out before us.
And I’ve already gone behind us,

425
00:31:49,300 –> 00:31:52,400
are to enable us to prepare
ourselves for that day.

426
00:31:52,400 –> 00:31:56,400
So that when we hear that sound
Francis, is it fills us with

427
00:31:56,400 –> 00:32:00,500
joy?
And a sense of distinct pleasure

428
00:32:00,500 –> 00:32:03,600
that we get to be invited to go
and be with the Lord.

429
00:32:03,600 –> 00:32:05,900
If at the very sense of the
words that are used that are

430
00:32:05,900 –> 00:32:09,100
translated in English, hear the
trumpets again there’s only one

431
00:32:09,100 –> 00:32:11,900
word typically used in English.
It’s just the trumpet, there’s

432
00:32:11,900 –> 00:32:15,400
more than one word being used
there in the Hebrew and and even

433
00:32:15,400 –> 00:32:18,000
the sense of some of those words
are less about the instruments

434
00:32:18,000 –> 00:32:21,300
are more about the sound and it
was to be a joyful sound.

435
00:32:21,300 –> 00:32:24,000
That was the intention of the
trumpet sound that it would

436
00:32:24,000 –> 00:32:28,100
cause a sense of gladness and
happiness and excitement in the

437
00:32:28,100 –> 00:32:31,600
years of the She heard it and
the experience of this first

438
00:32:31,600 –> 00:32:34,700
generation, we were the first
ones to hear that call

439
00:32:35,100 –> 00:32:37,200
prentices.
Was it did not engage them in

440
00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:40,100
that sense.
And maybe run sisters.

441
00:32:40,100 –> 00:32:43,600
We consider our orientation to
it today.

442
00:32:44,300 –> 00:32:48,100
It doesn’t trigger that sense in
us through, not, because we’re

443
00:32:48,100 –> 00:32:51,000
in some way, we have some right
to go and be there when it

444
00:32:51,000 –> 00:32:53,500
comes.
But, because of the grace of

445
00:32:53,500 –> 00:32:59,200
God, you know, Lord Jesus Christ
that we can go and be with God,

446
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:03,800
he is the one who will go and
take us to be forever with the

447
00:33:03,800 –> 00:33:08,200
Lord.
We join in singing, hymn 109.

448
00:33:11,100 –> 00:33:13,500
I’m going to use voice of
Thunder.

449
00:33:14,300 –> 00:33:19,100
Once made the Earth to shake and
Israel at the mountain in it, or

450
00:33:19,100 –> 00:33:25,500
did fear and Quake.
Well, with boldness, we seek

451
00:33:25,500 –> 00:33:31,000
your face for, we have come to
know you, the Living God of

452
00:33:31,000 –> 00:33:34,100
Grace.
So let’s stand seeing him, 109.

453
00:35:53,300 –> 00:36:02,000
Thank you.
Well Community, princesses to

454
00:36:02,000 –> 00:36:07,200
Numbers chapter 10 because
there’s a lovely kind of image

455
00:36:07,200 –> 00:36:09,400
here.
That as Israel arrived, it’s

456
00:36:09,400 –> 00:36:11,400
tiny.
I the here this great trumpet

457
00:36:11,400 –> 00:36:15,300
sound and you know the thing
they heard when sisters as the

458
00:36:15,300 –> 00:36:19,700
day they left signee, I was the
trumpet sound, right?

459
00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:22,800
So lovely book ends of their
experience here at the mountain

460
00:36:22,800 –> 00:36:26,000
with God, they were invited to
be there with the sound of a

461
00:36:26,008 –> 00:36:29,400
trumpet and they are invited to
leave with the sound of the

462
00:36:29,400 –> 00:36:34,300
trumpet and Here in numbers 10,
we’re given the background to

463
00:36:34,300 –> 00:36:37,800
that occasion.
So let’s have a just a look

464
00:36:37,800 –> 00:36:41,200
briefly at this because the
spirit with which they left, it

465
00:36:41,200 –> 00:36:45,900
seems to me was a slightly
different, kind of energy, and

466
00:36:45,900 –> 00:36:48,700
Vibe than the one with which
they arrived.

467
00:36:48,700 –> 00:36:51,200
And it’s worth thinking about
what had happened in the

468
00:36:51,200 –> 00:36:57,000
intervening year or so that may
be changed that that Tempo that

469
00:36:57,000 –> 00:37:01,600
sense that that atmosphere even
Bring Numbers chapter 10 and

470
00:37:01,600 –> 00:37:04,400
verse 1.
The Lord said to Moses, make Two

471
00:37:04,400 –> 00:37:09,800
Trumpets of silver of a whole
piece, you will make them that

472
00:37:09,800 –> 00:37:13,200
you may use them for the calling
of the assembly for the Journey

473
00:37:13,200 –> 00:37:16,900
of the camps.
And when they blow with them all

474
00:37:16,900 –> 00:37:19,600
the assembly will assemble
themselves to you at the door of

475
00:37:19,600 –> 00:37:21,100
the Tabernacle of the
congregation.

476
00:37:21,400 –> 00:37:23,800
And if they blow out with one
troop it and so on, and so on,

477
00:37:23,800 –> 00:37:30,500
then all these different sounds
would be used to call and to see

478
00:37:30,600 –> 00:37:33,900
Define different things and
inverse a the sons of Aaron, the

479
00:37:33,900 –> 00:37:36,800
priest will blow with the
trumpets and they will be to you

480
00:37:36,800 –> 00:37:39,900
for an ordinance forever
throughout your generations.

481
00:37:40,600 –> 00:37:43,000
For.
If you go out to war in your

482
00:37:43,000 –> 00:37:45,100
land against the enemy that
oppresses, you then you will

483
00:37:45,100 –> 00:37:49,400
blow an alarm and so on, and you
will be remembered before the

484
00:37:49,400 –> 00:37:53,100
Lord your God and you will be
saved from your enemies.

485
00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:56,400
So there are two trumpets to be
made of silver.

486
00:37:56,800 –> 00:38:01,000
They were to be given to error
in cells, which are He has two

487
00:38:01,000 –> 00:38:06,400
left, of course, to died during
that year, inside your home, and

488
00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:09,300
there are two left.
So, two trumpets are made one

489
00:38:09,300 –> 00:38:14,600
for tomorrow and one for Eliezer
and and they were to be used for

490
00:38:14,800 –> 00:38:17,700
sending the signals to the
children of Israel.

491
00:38:18,300 –> 00:38:21,500
Pretty pressure job that for
Eleazar and ithamar, can you

492
00:38:21,500 –> 00:38:23,500
imagine them sitting down with
Aaron and Moses go missing?

493
00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:26,200
We need to practice boys,
because, you know, you don’t

494
00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:28,700
want to appear on a play, the
wrong tune of the wrong moment,

495
00:38:28,700 –> 00:38:31,000
you know?
Can you imagine if we play, This

496
00:38:31,100 –> 00:38:33,800
day of gladness when we should
have been playing the sound for

497
00:38:33,800 –> 00:38:36,600
war, everyone’s going to be
really confused and if on the

498
00:38:36,607 –> 00:38:39,700
day, when the Tabernacle sets
out, we blow the sound for the

499
00:38:39,700 –> 00:38:42,300
East Camp instead of the South
or the north of the West is

500
00:38:42,300 –> 00:38:45,600
going to be total chaos.
So I don’t know how they worked

501
00:38:45,600 –> 00:38:47,300
out.
Those sounds are what practice,

502
00:38:47,400 –> 00:38:50,800
the trumpet practice sounded
like in in Moses, and Aaron’s

503
00:38:50,800 –> 00:38:53,400
family, but you can imagine the
need to get that, right?

504
00:38:53,400 –> 00:38:54,700
You know, you couldn’t text
everybody.

505
00:38:54,700 –> 00:38:57,800
It was no WhatsApp group in the
camp of Ruben, you know, to say,

506
00:38:57,800 –> 00:38:59,600
time to go, boys, get your
stuff.

507
00:38:59,600 –> 00:39:03,600
It’s your turn to Move, you had
to wait for the trumpet sound

508
00:39:03,700 –> 00:39:09,300
and everybody would know what
the trumpet sound would mean.

509
00:39:09,300 –> 00:39:11,100
That was the purpose of these
trumpets, wasn’t it.

510
00:39:11,100 –> 00:39:14,100
This was God speaking to the
people and when you hear the

511
00:39:14,100 –> 00:39:17,900
sound, you will know, you will
know whether it’s a Battle Cry,

512
00:39:18,000 –> 00:39:20,900
you’ll know whether it’s a camp
on the Move cry, you’ll know

513
00:39:20,900 –> 00:39:24,200
whether it’s a day of solemn
assembly or a day of gladness or

514
00:39:24,200 –> 00:39:28,200
the burnt offering, you will
know the sound of the trumpet.

515
00:39:28,700 –> 00:39:30,400
And when you hear it, you will
know.

516
00:39:30,600 –> 00:39:34,200
What to do?
That was the that was the kind

517
00:39:34,200 –> 00:39:39,100
of vibe here.
As I sent it from the way God is

518
00:39:39,100 –> 00:39:43,300
instructing Moses here to
Institute the sound and the

519
00:39:43,300 –> 00:39:47,300
blowing of the trumpet and they
would assemble at the door or

520
00:39:47,300 –> 00:39:50,000
they would move or they would
gather for war, or it would be a

521
00:39:50,008 –> 00:39:53,200
day of gladness or the beginning
of months or the birds in the

522
00:39:53,200 –> 00:39:55,300
peace offerings.
These were all the different

523
00:39:55,300 –> 00:40:00,100
uses for the trumpet.
And you know the first time run

524
00:40:00,100 –> 00:40:04,400
sisters, those trumpets were
heard was the day Israel left.

525
00:40:04,400 –> 00:40:08,700
Sign your eye.
And it was a it was a it’s worth

526
00:40:08,700 –> 00:40:12,500
just reading it with your with
your imagination runs.

527
00:40:12,500 –> 00:40:16,600
This is not just with your eyes.
Can you imagine just put

528
00:40:16,600 –> 00:40:20,700
yourself princesses for a moment
in the sandals of Israel who

529
00:40:20,700 –> 00:40:22,900
been through all these
experiences of saini?

530
00:40:22,900 –> 00:40:27,000
I they’d seen the mountain on
fire, they’d heard the voice of

531
00:40:27,000 –> 00:40:30,500
God speaking to Moses.
They’d seen Moses coming down

532
00:40:30,500 –> 00:40:35,700
with his shining face having
Moses having attempted to make

533
00:40:35,700 –> 00:40:40,100
atonement for the It’s in.
After the experience with the

534
00:40:40,100 –> 00:40:43,400
golden calf, they come and they
brought their offerings.

535
00:40:43,400 –> 00:40:45,900
And now in their midst, they had
a sanctuary.

536
00:40:46,900 –> 00:40:48,600
And if that this group of
people, been sisters were

537
00:40:48,600 –> 00:40:52,500
changed from the group who
derived there and met with the

538
00:40:52,500 –> 00:40:55,800
Lord in Exodus 19.
And this is part of the flow of

539
00:40:55,800 –> 00:40:57,300
this lovely picture that God
wants you.

540
00:40:57,300 –> 00:41:00,900
And I to see the group of men
and women, who leave Sonia

541
00:41:00,900 –> 00:41:03,400
hybrids, this is a different to
the ones who arrived.

542
00:41:03,800 –> 00:41:07,300
They arrived in their companies
of fives and tens and 50s and in

543
00:41:07,308 –> 00:41:10,700
their family.
Camping all over the place.

544
00:41:11,700 –> 00:41:13,700
By the time they left, sign over
and sisters.

545
00:41:13,700 –> 00:41:15,400
They were camping in there,
Square.

546
00:41:16,700 –> 00:41:19,400
God was in the middle.
The ark.

547
00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:25,400
Was there in the most holy place
and there was offerings and a

548
00:41:25,400 –> 00:41:27,400
century.
And there was a method of

549
00:41:27,400 –> 00:41:31,800
worship all of this had begun
during that year or so.

550
00:41:31,800 –> 00:41:35,300
They’ve been there at signee.
I and in fact, if you just look

551
00:41:35,300 –> 00:41:41,300
down there in Numbers, Chapter
10, We’re given the day that

552
00:41:41,300 –> 00:41:43,200
Israel left Sinai.
Verse 11.

553
00:41:43,200 –> 00:41:48,800
It came to pass on the 20th day
of the second month in the

554
00:41:48,800 –> 00:41:53,400
second year that the cloud was
taken up from the Tabernacle of

555
00:41:53,400 –> 00:41:57,100
the testimony and the children
of Israel took their Journeys.

556
00:41:57,100 –> 00:42:00,500
Out of the Wilderness of Sinai.
I am the cloud rested in the

557
00:42:00,500 –> 00:42:03,200
wilderness of Paran and they
first took their Journey

558
00:42:03,200 –> 00:42:05,900
according to the Commandment of
the Lord by the hand of Moses.

559
00:42:05,900 –> 00:42:09,300
And the trumpet was sounded
verse 14 and The end.

560
00:42:09,300 –> 00:42:11,800
The first place was the standard
of the camp of the children of

561
00:42:11,800 –> 00:42:16,100
Judah according to their armies,
and over his host was National

562
00:42:16,100 –> 00:42:18,800
on the some of them in and out
and over the host of the tribe

563
00:42:18,800 –> 00:42:20,600
of the children.
Mr. Kerr was left, Anil.

564
00:42:20,600 –> 00:42:23,400
The son of zoo and you notice
even how the language is changed

565
00:42:23,600 –> 00:42:27,900
now, they’re camping in their
armies and they have captains

566
00:42:28,300 –> 00:42:32,100
and they have standards and
Banners and the group of people

567
00:42:32,100 –> 00:42:35,300
friends sisters, who leave,
sorry, I look totally different

568
00:42:35,300 –> 00:42:38,000
to the ones who arrived they’re
organized.

569
00:42:38,200 –> 00:42:40,900
And when the truth, It sounds,
they know what to do, and they

570
00:42:40,900 –> 00:42:44,200
react, and they move and things
happen and they carry the

571
00:42:44,200 –> 00:42:46,900
banners.
And when the trumpet sounds off,

572
00:42:46,900 –> 00:42:49,800
goes Reuben first.
And, and they want the trumpet

573
00:42:49,800 –> 00:42:52,800
sounds again, that the next
quadrant goes and then the

574
00:42:52,800 –> 00:42:55,300
Tabernacle there in it in the,
in the center.

575
00:42:55,300 –> 00:42:57,300
And then the trumpet sounds and
the next quadrant.

576
00:42:57,300 –> 00:43:00,100
And if you have been standing on
the mountains but instances,

577
00:43:00,100 –> 00:43:02,800
looking down on the valley of
cyanide, it would have been

578
00:43:02,800 –> 00:43:05,400
quite an extraordinary sight
with me that this ramshackle

579
00:43:05,400 –> 00:43:07,700
group of people who had arrived
there.

580
00:43:08,400 –> 00:43:12,300
Now we’re in formation and
they’re marching and they’ve got

581
00:43:12,300 –> 00:43:15,500
Captain’s and Banners and
they’ve got this this

582
00:43:15,500 –> 00:43:18,900
extraordinary set of equipment
would with them.

583
00:43:20,400 –> 00:43:23,100
And their kin Rubik aren’t they
grunts hisses?

584
00:43:23,100 –> 00:43:24,700
That’s the description that’s
being given here.

585
00:43:24,700 –> 00:43:28,600
That’s the picture here.
This four-cornered Camp.

586
00:43:29,300 –> 00:43:30,900
Yeah.
With its, with its captains and

587
00:43:30,900 –> 00:43:34,200
it’s standards is become Gods
Chariot.

588
00:43:34,200 –> 00:43:37,000
As little as we’ve been thinking
about this weekend, and it’s,

589
00:43:37,000 –> 00:43:39,300
and it’s not some mystical thing
in a vision.

590
00:43:39,500 –> 00:43:44,200
It’s physical and his people,
and God is moving in his in his

591
00:43:44,200 –> 00:43:47,300
congregation.
God is amongst his people and

592
00:43:47,300 –> 00:43:49,400
they’re leaving.
Sorry, I with one intention

593
00:43:49,400 –> 00:43:52,600
Bryn, sisters.
To go and take the promised

594
00:43:52,600 –> 00:43:54,700
land.
Of course, it’s hard for us to

595
00:43:54,700 –> 00:43:56,600
read this without hindsight,
isn’t it?

596
00:43:56,700 –> 00:43:59,900
Because we know that what should
have been a few days journey to

597
00:43:59,900 –> 00:44:05,200
the kingdom of God, became a
multi, Millennial problem.

598
00:44:06,500 –> 00:44:09,400
But the intention here was that
within a matter of days when

599
00:44:09,400 –> 00:44:12,600
that trumpet sounded they would
be there in the kingdom of God

600
00:44:12,600 –> 00:44:16,200
and this generation would have
experienced the promises to

601
00:44:16,200 –> 00:44:19,200
Abraham and the Fulfillment of
all of those things that was in

602
00:44:19,200 –> 00:44:21,000
their minds.
They didn’t know that there was

603
00:44:21,000 –> 00:44:25,100
another 34 thousand years ago
today in their minds when that

604
00:44:25,100 –> 00:44:28,700
trumpet sounded pretty sisters
on the in the second month of

605
00:44:28,700 –> 00:44:32,000
the second year and and they
heard that trumpet for the first

606
00:44:32,000 –> 00:44:36,200
time this trumpet, this was a
different sound now.

607
00:44:36,700 –> 00:44:38,200
They’ve been changed.
They’ve been through

608
00:44:38,200 –> 00:44:43,900
extraordinary experiences.
They’d understood now the

609
00:44:44,800 –> 00:44:51,000
kindness and the mercy of God
long-suffering and abundant in

610
00:44:51,000 –> 00:44:53,700
goodness and truth and some of
them have been touched deeply by

611
00:44:53,700 –> 00:44:57,000
that.
And now as they leave sign,

612
00:44:57,000 –> 00:44:59,900
Aaron says it’s a different
congregation all together.

613
00:45:01,100 –> 00:45:02,900
And they’re heading for the
Promised Land.

614
00:45:04,000 –> 00:45:06,100
And there’s something in those
never ancestors for you.

615
00:45:06,100 –> 00:45:10,400
And I, as to what it will be
like when the trumpet sounds

616
00:45:10,500 –> 00:45:13,300
when all these metaphors in
these symbols, and these

617
00:45:13,300 –> 00:45:17,400
patterns of the past become a
reality, I have no, I suspect,

618
00:45:17,400 –> 00:45:20,200
it will be nothing like this,
these things are trying.

619
00:45:20,200 –> 00:45:22,200
These are pictures that are
being painted for us, aren’t

620
00:45:22,200 –> 00:45:25,800
there to try and engage our
hearts and our minds to imagine

621
00:45:26,100 –> 00:45:29,400
the magnitude of what it will be
like princesses when we hear

622
00:45:29,400 –> 00:45:32,800
God’s trumpet being sounded and
we are called to March like an

623
00:45:32,800 –> 00:45:36,300
army.
The vehicle of God’s presence to

624
00:45:36,300 –> 00:45:38,600
go in.
Take the kingdom of God.

625
00:45:38,600 –> 00:45:43,300
Beautiful picture here.
And as you come down to the end

626
00:45:43,300 –> 00:45:46,900
of Numbers, chapter 10, Moses
said a prayer.

627
00:45:50,200 –> 00:45:53,100
I’m going to notice this
princess says I want to imagine

628
00:45:53,100 –> 00:45:55,400
again, if you can and Eric’s
difficult, you’re probably

629
00:45:55,400 –> 00:45:58,500
tired, not slept very well and
all sorts of things.

630
00:45:58,700 –> 00:46:01,800
I see you to exercise the
deepness of your imagination,

631
00:46:01,800 –> 00:46:04,000
this morning, but can you
imagine how Moses would have

632
00:46:04,000 –> 00:46:07,100
felt?
The day Israel, if Sonia are

633
00:46:07,100 –> 00:46:09,700
looking down on this
congregation that have changed

634
00:46:09,700 –> 00:46:12,800
in some way, so much and in some
ways.

635
00:46:12,800 –> 00:46:17,400
So little and he would have
stood there watching as the

636
00:46:17,400 –> 00:46:20,600
trumpet, sounded the
congregation set off in their

637
00:46:20,600 –> 00:46:23,800
order and the pattern that he’d
received from God.

638
00:46:23,800 –> 00:46:28,900
In the mountain has now become a
physical reality, in a sense, in

639
00:46:28,900 –> 00:46:32,500
front of him and they would have
been tears rolling down his

640
00:46:32,500 –> 00:46:35,100
face.
Wouldn’t there as he saw God’s

641
00:46:35,100 –> 00:46:40,400
Army marching out on words to
fulfill and receive the

642
00:46:40,400 –> 00:46:43,300
inheritance that they’d been
promised by God.

643
00:46:43,300 –> 00:46:50,400
And Moses said these words Verse
35, it came to pass when the arc

644
00:46:50,400 –> 00:46:55,000
set forward that Moses said rise
up O Lord, let your enemies be

645
00:46:55,000 –> 00:46:59,000
scattered.
And let them who hate you flee

646
00:46:59,000 –> 00:47:02,000
before you.
And when it rested he said

647
00:47:02,100 –> 00:47:06,400
return O Lord and to the many
thousands of Israel and that was

648
00:47:06,400 –> 00:47:09,300
modes of perception of God’s
interaction here with the

649
00:47:09,300 –> 00:47:12,000
children of Israel.
Rise up.

650
00:47:12,000 –> 00:47:13,900
O Lord, and let your enemies be
scattered.

651
00:47:13,900 –> 00:47:16,100
Let them move.
Who hate you, flee before you.

652
00:47:16,200 –> 00:47:18,300
And this prayer of Moses is
captured by and sisters.

653
00:47:18,300 –> 00:47:24,000
In Psalm 68 was just spotting it
very, very quickly here and it’s

654
00:47:24,000 –> 00:47:26,400
and it’s expanded significantly
here.

655
00:47:26,600 –> 00:47:31,300
Some 68 you can’t miss it.
The opening verse comes right

656
00:47:31,300 –> 00:47:34,900
out of numbers, 10, there of
those 35, this is a Psalm of

657
00:47:34,900 –> 00:47:37,700
David, of course, who maybe I
don’t know, whether he just took

658
00:47:37,700 –> 00:47:41,800
Moses full prayer or whether he,
it took Moses short prayer and

659
00:47:41,900 –> 00:47:45,800
added the next chapter to it
himself, and maybe, as he

660
00:47:45,800 –> 00:47:49,800
brought himself the ark to Zion
for the first time.

661
00:47:50,000 –> 00:47:51,800
Can you imagine that?
Ramsey, says, the auction of

662
00:47:51,800 –> 00:47:55,900
arrived in Zion hundreds of
years before and David was the

663
00:47:55,900 –> 00:47:59,400
one who Finally brought it to
its rightful resting place.

664
00:47:59,400 –> 00:48:02,500
All those years later and it was
right that he picks up on this

665
00:48:02,700 –> 00:48:05,600
prayer of Moses there in
Numbers, chapter 10 who had

666
00:48:05,600 –> 00:48:09,000
every intention of taking God,
to Zion to the Heavenly

667
00:48:09,000 –> 00:48:13,000
Jerusalem and he never made it.
Moses, never got the Ark of God

668
00:48:13,000 –> 00:48:14,800
to Jerusalem and it will be
David.

669
00:48:14,800 –> 00:48:16,700
He would.
Finally, of course rightfully

670
00:48:16,900 –> 00:48:19,700
bring the ark to Jerusalem as
the number one job.

671
00:48:19,700 –> 00:48:22,800
He spent all of his life,
waiting to be killed King so

672
00:48:22,800 –> 00:48:25,200
that he could achieve that
thing.

673
00:48:25,500 –> 00:48:28,100
And he says in verse, Let God
arise.

674
00:48:28,100 –> 00:48:31,300
Let his enemies be scattered.
Let them also that hate him,

675
00:48:31,400 –> 00:48:34,600
flee before him.
And and as you come down this

676
00:48:34,600 –> 00:48:40,100
prayer, this this, this song You
Can Hear The Echoes of Numbers,

677
00:48:40,200 –> 00:48:42,500
chapter 10 verse 11, the lord
gave the word.

678
00:48:42,500 –> 00:48:45,100
Great was the company of those
that established it.

679
00:48:45,200 –> 00:48:49,600
Kings of armies did flee apace
and she, that’s her at home.

680
00:48:49,600 –> 00:48:52,800
Divided the spoil and it’s a
lovely description here.

681
00:48:52,800 –> 00:48:56,400
And in verse, you can censor the
end of Moses.

682
00:48:56,500 –> 00:49:00,000
Are there in verse 17.
The Chariots of God are 20,000,

683
00:49:00,000 –> 00:49:05,100
even thousands of Angels.
The Lord is among them as inside

684
00:49:05,100 –> 00:49:07,900
me.
I in the Holy place and a lovely

685
00:49:07,900 –> 00:49:10,900
reference here made by the
Apostle Paul to Christ, you have

686
00:49:10,900 –> 00:49:14,600
ascended on high and led
captivity captive.

687
00:49:14,600 –> 00:49:17,300
So again that there’s but
scripture, writers want you to

688
00:49:17,300 –> 00:49:20,600
connect to all these events and
seen as being part of the one

689
00:49:20,600 –> 00:49:22,700
big pattern of the coming of the
Lord.

690
00:49:22,700 –> 00:49:24,500
Jesus Christ.
Isn’t that beautiful?

691
00:49:24,700 –> 00:49:26,400
And the description are in verse
17.

692
00:49:26,600 –> 00:49:29,800
Chariots of God, this is David’s
version of the end of Moses

693
00:49:29,800 –> 00:49:32,500
prayer.
Are the many thousands of

694
00:49:32,500 –> 00:49:35,300
Israel.
The Lord is among them and the

695
00:49:35,308 –> 00:49:38,500
description there of the Angels
there, in verse 17 is the idea

696
00:49:38,500 –> 00:49:41,400
of the changed ones.
And the major difference in this

697
00:49:41,400 –> 00:49:44,100
somber and sisters to Moses
prayer is the name of God is no

698
00:49:44,100 –> 00:49:46,000
longer Yahweh.
It’s Elohim.

699
00:49:47,500 –> 00:49:51,200
Right.
And so there’s a sense in which

700
00:49:52,500 –> 00:49:56,800
God has now become manifested in
this group of people that

701
00:49:56,800 –> 00:50:00,300
they’ve been changed by their
experience of God and this is

702
00:50:00,300 –> 00:50:03,700
now the Chariot of God and God’s
company and at the sound of the

703
00:50:03,700 –> 00:50:08,500
trumpet run sisters, they move
and they go to inherits the

704
00:50:08,500 –> 00:50:14,000
kingdom of God.
So that was how they departed

705
00:50:14,200 –> 00:50:19,200
from Sonia and Brenda sisters.
The trumpets are still yet to

706
00:50:19,200 –> 00:50:25,700
sound its voice for you and for
me And will be thinking, I

707
00:50:25,700 –> 00:50:29,500
suspect for the rest of the day,
about the words of the Lord

708
00:50:29,500 –> 00:50:32,800
Jesus Christ.
In the Olivet prophecy for the

709
00:50:32,800 –> 00:50:34,900
trumpet, shall sound during the
Lord.

710
00:50:34,900 –> 00:50:40,700
Jesus said, And God will send
his angels and they will gather

711
00:50:40,700 –> 00:50:43,700
God’s elect from the four
corners of the Earth.

712
00:50:44,600 –> 00:50:46,600
So that’s what will happen at
the trumpet sound and sisters

713
00:50:46,600 –> 00:50:48,900
for you.
And me, God’s elect will be

714
00:50:48,900 –> 00:50:51,500
called from the four corners of
the earth, not the four corners

715
00:50:51,500 –> 00:50:54,000
of the camp.
Now, that’s what the trumpet was

716
00:50:54,000 –> 00:50:55,500
used for in numbers 10 there,
wasn’t it?

717
00:50:55,500 –> 00:50:59,800
So that each core Each corner of
the camp had its own sound.

718
00:50:59,800 –> 00:51:03,100
So then you went to move.
Now when the trumpet sounds been

719
00:51:03,100 –> 00:51:05,200
says, it won’t be the four
corners of the camp.

720
00:51:05,300 –> 00:51:08,300
It will be the four corners of
the earth, who will hear that

721
00:51:08,300 –> 00:51:13,100
sound and God’s elect, those who
know what that sound means will

722
00:51:13,100 –> 00:51:17,500
be called to be Together by the
angels of God to fit to be

723
00:51:17,500 –> 00:51:21,700
called into the company who will
go to meet the Lord and to be

724
00:51:21,700 –> 00:51:24,100
forever with him and that,
lovely.

725
00:51:24,100 –> 00:51:26,800
And when the trumpet sound is
used in scripture and sisters,

726
00:51:27,000 –> 00:51:29,500
it’s used to denote, the calling
of the dead.

727
00:51:29,500 –> 00:51:32,500
That’s how the Apostle Paul used
in 1 Thessalonians 4, isn’t it?

728
00:51:32,600 –> 00:51:36,500
It’s how we used it in?
1 Corinthians 15 for the trumpet

729
00:51:36,500 –> 00:51:39,600
will sound and he says, it’s the
last trumpet.

730
00:51:39,600 –> 00:51:42,800
We’ve heard the first trumpet
this morning in Exodus 19 and

731
00:51:42,800 –> 00:51:45,400
the Apostle Paul says when their
Strumpet, sounds.

732
00:51:46,400 –> 00:51:49,600
The dead shall be raised.
And he says, and we shall be

733
00:51:49,600 –> 00:51:52,400
changed.
That’s what he says, doesn’t it

734
00:51:52,700 –> 00:51:54,800
just as Israel were, they were
changed.

735
00:51:54,800 –> 00:51:57,100
Not in a moment, not in a
twinkling of an eye.

736
00:51:57,107 –> 00:51:59,600
Our that doesn’t happen in this
lifetime.

737
00:51:59,600 –> 00:52:01,800
Does it the change that we are
looking for?

738
00:52:01,800 –> 00:52:05,100
Bring the sisters can only
happen in a moment when that

739
00:52:05,100 –> 00:52:10,200
final trumpet sounds and the
dead are raised incorruptible.

740
00:52:12,100 –> 00:52:15,600
Well, just before we finish bin
sisters, taking all of those

741
00:52:15,600 –> 00:52:17,400
ideas and thoughts.
Will you come with me one more

742
00:52:17,400 –> 00:52:22,600
time to 1 Thessalonians?
This time to chapter one.

743
00:52:38,500 –> 00:52:43,300
because this trumpet run
sisters, whilst it will sound In

744
00:52:43,300 –> 00:52:45,600
some way, shape, or form on the
day of the Lord is here.

745
00:52:45,600 –> 00:52:48,900
It has another work to do.
And just as we saw yesterday

746
00:52:48,900 –> 00:52:53,500
with, with the shouts and the
voice of the Archangel, there is

747
00:52:53,500 –> 00:52:58,000
a work for all of these emblems
in our lives today.

748
00:52:58,400 –> 00:53:00,600
And it’s the Apostle Paul in
beautifully picks out this

749
00:53:00,600 –> 00:53:05,200
practical lesson for us.
And in 1st Thessalonians 1 and

750
00:53:05,200 –> 00:53:08,000
verse 8, listen to what the
Apostle Paul says.

751
00:53:09,100 –> 00:53:10,700
And he’s rotting to this lovely,
please.

752
00:53:10,700 –> 00:53:16,400
You and Tessa Monica and he
says, for from you, sounded out

753
00:53:16,400 –> 00:53:20,400
the word of the Lord, not only
in Macedonia and achaia, but

754
00:53:20,400 –> 00:53:23,700
also in every place your faith
to God, word is spread abroad.

755
00:53:23,700 –> 00:53:26,400
So that we need not to speak
anything, for they themselves,

756
00:53:26,700 –> 00:53:30,000
show of us what manner of
entering in we hadn’t to you and

757
00:53:30,000 –> 00:53:33,200
how you turned to God from
Idols, to serve, the living and

758
00:53:33,200 –> 00:53:37,600
true God, and to wait for his
son from Heaven, whom he raised

759
00:53:37,600 –> 00:53:40,400
from the dead.
Even Jesus, which delivered us

760
00:53:40,400 –> 00:53:43,200
from the Wrath to come and the
Apostle Paul says everybody

761
00:53:43,200 –> 00:53:45,900
knows about that, everybody
who’s coming into contact with,

762
00:53:45,900 –> 00:53:48,900
you knows about that.
Because him per se for through,

763
00:53:48,900 –> 00:53:51,800
you has sounded out the word of
the Lord.

764
00:53:51,800 –> 00:53:54,300
And that phrase that the Apostle
Paul uses there in verse 8

765
00:53:54,300 –> 00:53:56,800
sounded out.
It’s only normally used in the

766
00:53:56,800 –> 00:54:03,000
sense of a of an instrument,
giving an orchestral sound and

767
00:54:03,000 –> 00:54:05,600
the Apostle Paul says, the sound
that you were giving out is like

768
00:54:05,600 –> 00:54:10,400
the voice of the trumpet calling
out to everyone to hear the word

769
00:54:10,400 –> 00:54:13,900
of God and to prepare a people
so that when the trumpet finally

770
00:54:13,900 –> 00:54:17,200
sounds, they will know what it
means and they will be ready at

771
00:54:17,200 –> 00:54:19,700
the coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ, when he will come to

772
00:54:19,700 –> 00:54:22,500
raise the dead and it was the
Apostle Paul.

773
00:54:22,500 –> 00:54:26,100
Of course, in 1, Corinthians 14,
who when chastising the

774
00:54:26,100 –> 00:54:29,000
Corinthians for their terrible?
Use of the gifts of the holy

775
00:54:29,000 –> 00:54:35,300
spirit said, Unless the trumpet
give a certain sound, who will

776
00:54:35,300 –> 00:54:39,700
prepare himself for battle.
What a fascinating use of the

777
00:54:39,700 –> 00:54:42,400
Old Testament, scripture and
sisters in the context of 1

778
00:54:42,400 –> 00:54:46,300
Corinthians 14.
And the Apostle Paul says, if

779
00:54:46,300 –> 00:54:49,500
the, unless that trumpet, it be
everybody knows what it means.

780
00:54:49,800 –> 00:54:51,800
What will, how will they know
how to respond?

781
00:54:51,900 –> 00:54:54,100
If one minute, you’re sounding a
call for battle and the next

782
00:54:54,100 –> 00:54:57,700
minute it’s chaos and he said,
that’s what I see in Corinth.

783
00:54:57,700 –> 00:55:01,600
Nobody knows what’s going on.
And the trumpet sound needs to

784
00:55:01,600 –> 00:55:07,600
be loud and clear so that
everybody knows what to do when

785
00:55:07,600 –> 00:55:12,200
they hear it’s voice and brother
she says that’s your blessing

786
00:55:12,200 –> 00:55:16,400
and mind this morning isn’t it?
Because the Lord will descend

787
00:55:16,900 –> 00:55:20,400
from heaven with a shout with
the voice of the Archangel and

788
00:55:20,400 –> 00:55:22,300
with the trumpet of God.
And the question is, what will

789
00:55:22,300 –> 00:55:26,300
our response be to that core and
the challenge to us?

790
00:55:26,300 –> 00:55:28,300
Princesses, it’s calling
already.

791
00:55:28,900 –> 00:55:31,400
The Apostle Paul tells us
absolutely clearly that it’s the

792
00:55:31,400 –> 00:55:34,000
voice of the Gospel is the
trumpet call for us.

793
00:55:34,300 –> 00:55:36,800
That’s the one that prepares us
for the ultimate call.

794
00:55:37,100 –> 00:55:40,200
That’s the voice that tells us
so we know what to do.

795
00:55:40,400 –> 00:55:42,900
And when you wake up tomorrow
morning brand system, the alarm

796
00:55:42,900 –> 00:55:46,300
clock goes off down here.
The alarm clock, you know?

797
00:55:46,400 –> 00:55:49,600
Don’t hear that sense of
foreboding, right?

798
00:55:49,700 –> 00:55:52,800
The air raid siren, hear the
trumpet of God.

799
00:55:53,100 –> 00:55:56,700
And here is sounding out to you
to prepare your lives and to

800
00:55:56,700 –> 00:56:00,000
make sure you are your hearts
and minor ready for the coming

801
00:56:00,000 –> 00:56:02,700
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s what that trumpet call is

802
00:56:02,700 –> 00:56:04,500
designed to do.
And it’s supposed to be a

803
00:56:04,500 –> 00:56:08,400
joyful, sound blessed are, the
people said, the song we were

804
00:56:08,400 –> 00:56:10,500
going to sing it, but we’re not
going to because we’ve run out

805
00:56:10,500 –> 00:56:12,800
of time.
Blessed are the people who know

806
00:56:12,900 –> 00:56:17,000
the joyful sound.
Sound and that were joyful sound

807
00:56:17,000 –> 00:56:19,600
there in that.
In Psalm 89, it’s the trumpet

808
00:56:19,600 –> 00:56:21,300
sound.
It’s the word that’s used to

809
00:56:21,308 –> 00:56:23,500
describe, what men and women
would hear.

810
00:56:23,500 –> 00:56:25,300
When they heard the voice of the
trumpet.

811
00:56:25,400 –> 00:56:30,200
Blessed are the people who know,
The joyful sound?

812
00:56:30,200 –> 00:56:34,700
The trumpet sound.
And maybe brothers sisters on

813
00:56:34,700 –> 00:56:37,300
that day when we hear it
together Godzilla act from the

814
00:56:37,300 –> 00:56:41,700
core four corners of the earth,
we don’t hear the air raid siren

815
00:56:41,700 –> 00:56:46,400
floating over the hills, and the
satanic Mills of Yorkshire.

816
00:56:48,700 –> 00:56:53,000
But we hear the joyful sound and
it was the Lord Jesus Christ.

817
00:56:53,000 –> 00:56:55,800
Who said, when you see these
things come to pass, then look

818
00:56:55,800 –> 00:57:01,000
up And lift up your heads, I
know that your Redemption

feeling to have Prentiss is this

820
00:57:06,000 –> 00:57:08,600
morning as we listen to that
voice.

821
00:57:09,600 –> 00:57:12,800

Thanks for the privilege of

829
01:00:21,600 –> 01:00:27,400
being able to be here today.
For a mind to be taken to these

830
01:00:27,400 –> 01:00:31,600
places where we contemplate, The
Wonder of what you have done and

831
01:00:31,600 –> 01:00:36,900
what you will do.
We bring with us thoughts of the

832
01:00:36,900 –> 01:00:40,100
different and complicated
circumstances of Our Lives,

833
01:00:40,600 –> 01:00:44,000
where there’s so much
distraction, so many things that

834
01:00:44,000 –> 01:00:47,900
we feel we need to do, but which
don’t achieve that which you

835
01:00:47,900 –> 01:00:51,900
want for us yet.
We know that throughout all

836
01:00:51,900 –> 01:00:56,300
this, you in your love of
prepare, the way for us that we

837
01:00:56,300 –> 01:01:01,400
should follow.
So, maybe father because of this

838
01:01:02,100 –> 01:01:05,800
be ready for the sounds when we
hear them.

839
01:01:06,800 –> 01:01:13,000
For the trumpet sound for the
call of God for the call of the

840
01:01:13,000 –> 01:01:15,600
resurrection of those who have
fallen asleep.

841
01:01:16,600 –> 01:01:20,900
That’s all of us.
Might ultimately be a part of

842
01:01:21,600 –> 01:01:24,800
the wonderful purpose that you
will fulfill through the Lord

843
01:01:24,800 –> 01:01:29,400
Jesus because we realize that
the hope that we have is

844
01:01:29,500 –> 01:01:33,200
something that has been prepared
for us through the life that

845
01:01:33,200 –> 01:01:38,600
Jesus lived and gate.
So my all these things come

846
01:01:38,600 –> 01:01:42,400
together in our minds, as we
look forward to his return.

847
01:01:43,400 –> 01:01:46,900
So bless us, father, until that
time in his name,
