Leen Ritmeyer – The Power of Bible Places and their Lessons for Us – Class 6 – A place called Golgotha

1
00:00:00,680 –> 00:00:05,640
This is the 2010 Ontario Winter
Bible School.

2
00:00:06,480 –> 00:00:10,880
Our speaker for this session is
Brother Elaine Ritmeyer from

3
00:00:10,880 –> 00:00:15,520
Cardiff, Wales.
His theme this week is The Power

4
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:18,840
of Bible Places and their
Lessons for us.

5
00:00:19,720 –> 00:00:25,120
This is his sixth class and the
subject for this class is a

6
00:00:25,120 –> 00:00:30,440
place called Golgotha.
Our reading was taken from John

7
00:00:30,440 –> 00:00:42,900
19.
Good morning, Braden and sisters

8
00:00:42,900 –> 00:00:47,780
and young people.
Yesterday we followed Jesus from

9
00:00:48,460 –> 00:00:51,940
Jerusalem when he went to that
city of Ephraim where he

10
00:00:52,180 –> 00:00:56,540
meditated on the life of Gideon.
And then he went to Beita Bara.

11
00:00:56,980 –> 00:01:01,880
And then we followed his path
from Bethelbarra up to Bethany,

12
00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:05,640
where he stayed in the House of
his friends Martha, Mary, and

13
00:01:05,640 –> 00:01:08,960
Lazarus and their father Simon
de Lape.

14
00:01:10,960 –> 00:01:15,000
The following day he would have
left that house, and he went up

15
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:18,440
to Jerusalem and he passed by
Bethfage.

16
00:01:18,920 –> 00:01:21,120
Bethany means the House of good
figs.

17
00:01:21,520 –> 00:01:24,920
Bethfage means the House of
unripe figs.

18
00:01:25,280 –> 00:01:28,680
And there he took that donkey
away, which was a fulfillment of

19
00:01:28,680 –> 00:01:31,600
another ancient promise.
But you won’t have time to go

20
00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:34,120
into that.
And then when he came to the top

21
00:01:34,120 –> 00:01:37,960
of the Mount of Olives, which
you can see right here, there’s

22
00:01:37,960 –> 00:01:40,400
a beautiful mount, especially in
twilight.

23
00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:43,320
He was now standing here on the
top of the Mount of Olives.

24
00:01:43,960 –> 00:01:50,320
And here is the path going down
if you go to Luke chapter 17.

25
00:01:53,400 –> 00:02:15,470
Sorry, Luke 19.
And there we read the verse 29

26
00:02:15,470 –> 00:02:18,510
came to pass with us come night
to Bethfate and Bethany to mount

27
00:02:18,510 –> 00:02:20,630
called Olives.
He sent two of his disciples

28
00:02:20,630 –> 00:02:24,030
saying, Go into the village over
against you in the which you are

29
00:02:24,030 –> 00:02:25,910
entering you shall find a cold
tie.

30
00:02:26,510 –> 00:02:29,150
Never men yet said lose.
Him and bring him hid him.

31
00:02:29,510 –> 00:02:31,910
If any men ask you, why do you
lose him?

32
00:02:32,240 –> 00:02:36,080
Thus shall he say unto him,
Because the Lord of him has

33
00:02:36,080 –> 00:02:39,520
need, says it in the Greek.
And they that were sent went

34
00:02:39,520 –> 00:02:42,320
their way, and found, even as he
said unto them, And as they were

35
00:02:42,320 –> 00:02:44,600
loosen the cold, the owners
thereof said unto them, Why

36
00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:47,800
loosen the cold?
And he said The Lord of him has.

37
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:50,240
Need.
And they brought him to Jesus,

38
00:02:50,240 –> 00:02:52,680
and they cast their garments
upon the cold, and they set

39
00:02:52,720 –> 00:02:56,160
Jesus down, and as he went they
spread their clothes in the way.

40
00:02:56,680 –> 00:03:00,760
And when he was come nigh, even
now at the descend of the Mount

41
00:03:00,760 –> 00:03:04,160
of Olives, the whole multitude
of the disciples began to

42
00:03:04,160 –> 00:03:07,840
rejoice and praise God with a
loud voice for all the mighty

43
00:03:07,840 –> 00:03:11,280
works that they had seen.
Well, the fact Brandon sisters,

44
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:14,840
that they put on the their
clothes on their donkey and on

45
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:20,760
the road reminds us very much as
when Elisha was sent to anoint

46
00:03:20,840 –> 00:03:24,640
Jihu king of Israel, because
they also they heard and they

47
00:03:24,840 –> 00:03:28,520
took their clothes and spread
their clothes under him and said

48
00:03:28,520 –> 00:03:33,200
that blue trumpet said Jihu is
king by putting your garments on

49
00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:38,760
on a donkey or on the road and
underneath the person, the Lord

50
00:03:38,760 –> 00:03:42,160
Jesus Christ or you in the past.
It’s an honour which you give to

51
00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:45,840
kings.
And it’s obvious that the people

52
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:50,400
wanted to proclaim him king to
get rid of the Roman domination

53
00:03:50,680 –> 00:03:54,160
and to be a free people one
again once again.

54
00:03:54,240 –> 00:03:56,720
And that was the accusation
written on his cross.

55
00:03:56,720 –> 00:03:59,680
This is Jesus of Nazareth, the
king of the Jews.

56
00:04:02,480 –> 00:04:04,600
But we see how fickle people
are.

57
00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:09,560
Bradley sisters, they were
praising God and the next two

58
00:04:09,560 –> 00:04:11,440
days later they said crucify
him.

59
00:04:12,840 –> 00:04:17,800
But we are here at the very top
of the descent when Jesus went

60
00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:23,320
down to Jerusalem and we want to
stay there for a little bit

61
00:04:24,280 –> 00:04:30,160
because the associations of the
Mount of Olives and that

62
00:04:30,160 –> 00:04:33,880
particular spot where he stood,
which is directly opposite the

63
00:04:33,880 –> 00:04:37,200
temple.
When you there we try to enter

64
00:04:37,200 –> 00:04:40,960
into the mind of Jesus.
What would have gone through his

65
00:04:40,960 –> 00:04:44,280
mind knowing the Scriptures,
what should go through our mind

66
00:04:44,280 –> 00:04:46,480
by my sisters when we stand
there.

67
00:04:46,520 –> 00:04:49,200
But when you’re on the top of
the Mount of Olives, that is

68
00:04:49,200 –> 00:04:52,560
what you see.
You see the Temple Mount, the

69
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:55,320
beautiful Golden Temple where
which stood there and Herod

70
00:04:55,320 –> 00:04:58,120
stood here is the the Golden
Gate.

71
00:04:58,680 –> 00:05:01,040
I remember when the disciples
sat on the Mount of Olives in

72
00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:05,360
Matthew 24 and Luke 21 said
Master behold the buildings of

73
00:05:05,360 –> 00:05:09,040
the temple and he said not one
stone shall be left upon

74
00:05:09,040 –> 00:05:11,280
another.
But they saw something like

75
00:05:11,280 –> 00:05:14,840
this.
There was a golden faced temple

76
00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:18,760
which at the height of our 20
Storey high building.

77
00:05:19,160 –> 00:05:22,800
These were the buildings of the
temple that were built around it

78
00:05:23,080 –> 00:05:26,400
with the Antonia Fortes on the
northwest of the corridors are

79
00:05:26,400 –> 00:05:28,360
going all around here in the
Royal Stova.

80
00:05:28,360 –> 00:05:32,400
And here’s the Shushan Gate, the
eastern gate, where’s the lower

81
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:36,960
gate, the myth gate, and the
path going down into the Kidron

82
00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:42,960
Valley, and that was the temple.
They would have seen something

83
00:05:42,960 –> 00:05:48,600
similar at least when they
looked over the Temple Mount

84
00:05:48,600 –> 00:05:52,280
from the Mount of Olives.
But Jesus mind bread, my sisters

85
00:05:52,720 –> 00:05:57,640
would have gone over the whole
history, I believe of the city

86
00:05:57,640 –> 00:06:00,280
of Jerusalem and where does it
start?

87
00:06:00,760 –> 00:06:02,840
It started with Genesis chapter
14.

88
00:06:03,720 –> 00:06:08,040
Then after Abram had we spoke
about this earlier, brought back

89
00:06:08,120 –> 00:06:11,080
Lot Melchizedek, the king of
Salem, the king of righteousness

90
00:06:11,080 –> 00:06:14,600
and the king of peace brought
forth bread and wine, and he was

91
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:19,560
the priest of the Most High God.
And these would have known from

92
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:23,200
Psalmont and 10 that thou art a
priest forever after the order

93
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:26,640
of Melchizedek because he
instituted the bread and the

94
00:06:26,640 –> 00:06:28,960
wine which we celebrate every
Sunday.

95
00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:32,240
But it was first of all
instituted by Melchizedek.

96
00:06:33,640 –> 00:06:36,800
And this is a model which we
built in in the students in

97
00:06:36,800 –> 00:06:38,000
heritage.
College and you can.

98
00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:42,200
See Aben coming back here with
Lot, and Melchizedek coming down

99
00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:43,920
the mountainside, and the King
of Sodom.

100
00:06:43,920 –> 00:06:47,280
And a wonderful meeting took
place right beside the Gaion

101
00:06:47,280 –> 00:06:51,400
Spring, the spring of living
waters, which reflect the Word

102
00:06:51,400 –> 00:06:54,280
of God.
Pregnant sisters and there must

103
00:06:54,280 –> 00:06:59,680
have been an amazing event as a
was passing by through the

104
00:06:59,680 –> 00:07:05,120
Quidong valley just below the
top of Mount Moriah he wonder if

105
00:07:05,120 –> 00:07:07,440
he knew what was going to happen
next.

106
00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:16,720
If you go to Genesis chapter 14
and there’s something amazing

107
00:07:16,720 –> 00:07:26,200
there, I believe because after
now Kiszekin verse 18 brought

108
00:07:26,200 –> 00:07:29,320
forth bread and wine and he was
the priest of the Most High Ale

109
00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:38,280
and he blessed Abraham
immediately after that event we

110
00:07:38,280 –> 00:07:43,320
have Genesis 15.
Have you ever connected the two

111
00:07:43,320 –> 00:07:45,880
things?
It says after these things, But

112
00:07:45,880 –> 00:07:48,560
I just mean to say 10 years
later, it could have been

113
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:52,200
immediately after this word.
After these things occurs many

114
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:53,920
times, especially in the book of
Genesis.

115
00:07:54,200 –> 00:07:56,680
I mean, we’ve looked at one
event and now we’re going to

116
00:07:56,680 –> 00:08:00,120
look at the next event.
Where would Abram F stay now?

117
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:04,960
The city of Melchizedek was too
small to accommodate all his

118
00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:07,160
army.
He would probably have encamped

119
00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:12,800
on Mount Moriah.
And then in chapter 15 God

120
00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:17,320
appears to him and he says, fear
not Abram in the first one.

121
00:08:17,320 –> 00:08:19,680
I’m thy shield and I exceeding
great reward.

122
00:08:19,920 –> 00:08:23,080
And Abel said, Lord Yahweh, what
will thou give me, seeing I go

123
00:08:23,080 –> 00:08:25,800
childless and the steward of my
house is this early age of

124
00:08:25,800 –> 00:08:28,600
Damascus.
He said, behold to me thou was

125
00:08:28,600 –> 00:08:31,800
given no seed, and the one born
in my house is mine heir.

126
00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:35,039
He was asking for a son and I
believe when says he was on

127
00:08:35,039 –> 00:08:40,880
Mount Moriah when he asked for
that for that that request and

128
00:08:40,880 –> 00:08:45,560
then in verse 5 God brought him
forth abroad in if the camp of

129
00:08:45,720 –> 00:08:47,280
Abel was somebody here he may
have.

130
00:08:47,280 –> 00:08:51,200
Walked to the top of the Mount
Moriah, and God brought him

131
00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:53,800
forth abroad.
And he said, Look now towards

132
00:08:53,800 –> 00:08:57,040
heaven, and tell the stars if
they’ll be able to number them.

133
00:08:57,520 –> 00:09:01,040
And he said unto him, So shall
thy see be.

134
00:09:01,320 –> 00:09:04,680
And he believed in Yahweh, and
he counted him to him for

135
00:09:04,680 –> 00:09:07,800
righteousness.
But I believe when this is that

136
00:09:07,880 –> 00:09:11,280
chapters connected to chapter
14, it would make great sense

137
00:09:11,280 –> 00:09:15,160
that the promise of a son has
been given on Mount Moriah

138
00:09:15,400 –> 00:09:19,160
itself.
Anyway, at least it is something

139
00:09:19,160 –> 00:09:23,120
for you to think about because
we aren’t told exactly where it

140
00:09:23,120 –> 00:09:25,800
was.
And the next chapter 16, we are

141
00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:30,600
back in Sarah’s tent.
And so a few chapters later,

142
00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:35,760
when the sisters or after these
promises of a son have been

143
00:09:35,760 –> 00:09:39,680
given, and that great sacrifice
took place where he defied all

144
00:09:39,680 –> 00:09:43,560
those animals because all the
Abrah built and he built an

145
00:09:43,560 –> 00:09:46,760
altar there later on.
And it became the altar which

146
00:09:46,760 –> 00:09:48,600
David built.
It became the altar of all the

147
00:09:48,600 –> 00:09:52,160
temples when the sisters, all
these associations in there are

148
00:09:52,160 –> 00:09:54,680
there.
But now let’s go to Chapter 22

149
00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:58,600
because it came to pass after
these things.

150
00:10:00,600 –> 00:10:10,280
When Isaac was born, and God
had, I believe, rejuvenated

151
00:10:10,480 –> 00:10:14,440
Abram and Sarah, so that they
could bring forth the son.

152
00:10:14,440 –> 00:10:19,960
And now comes chapter 27.
After the things that Alabin he

153
00:10:19,960 –> 00:10:22,760
tempted, he tried Abram and said
unto him, Abram.

154
00:10:22,960 –> 00:10:27,240
He said, Behold, here am I, Take
now thy son, thine only son

155
00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:30,720
Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
it into the land of Moriah, and

156
00:10:30,720 –> 00:10:33,160
offer him therefore a burnt
offering upon one of the

157
00:10:33,160 –> 00:10:35,440
mountains.
Which I will tell thee of the

158
00:10:35,440 –> 00:10:40,080
name Moriya bread Mrsus means
the teaching of Yah.

159
00:10:40,760 –> 00:10:45,000
And we know that Avon believed
God that he was able to raise

160
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:46,840
him up from the dead as we had
told him.

161
00:10:46,840 –> 00:10:50,960
Hebrews Chapter 11.
That teaching on the mount of

162
00:10:50,960 –> 00:10:55,160
teaching Mount Moriah is the
resurrection of the dead.

163
00:10:57,360 –> 00:11:01,320
You remember the word Shechem
means getting up early and

164
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:04,800
bearing the burden?
Well, Abram rose up early.

165
00:11:05,080 –> 00:11:08,320
He got on his shoulder and he
pushed himself up and he put the

166
00:11:08,320 –> 00:11:11,120
wood on the shoulder of Isaac,
also a burden bearer.

167
00:11:11,320 –> 00:11:13,440
They sell at his.
Ass took two of his young men

168
00:11:13,440 –> 00:11:16,400
with him, and Isaac’s son claved
the wood for a burnt offering,

169
00:11:16,640 –> 00:11:19,600
and rose up and bent on the
place of which Alwin had told

170
00:11:19,600 –> 00:11:21,080
him.
It must have been a very

171
00:11:21,080 –> 00:11:23,800
difficult journey, very hard to
hear, but he got up.

172
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:26,360
Early in the morning.
And he did it asking no

173
00:11:26,360 –> 00:11:29,000
questions.
Jacob called, Joseph said.

174
00:11:29,640 –> 00:11:32,400
Look very bread and I he got up
and he went.

175
00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:36,840
And then we read in verse 4.
Then on the third day, Abram

176
00:11:36,840 –> 00:11:40,360
lifted up his eyes and he saw
the place afar off.

177
00:11:41,880 –> 00:11:46,320
But you go to that place where
the sisters, here it is, this

178
00:11:46,640 –> 00:11:51,440
coming from the South is the 1st
place where you can see Mount

179
00:11:51,440 –> 00:11:54,840
Moriah in the Temple Mount, see
Jerusalem in the Temple Mount.

180
00:11:54,840 –> 00:11:57,640
And here the city of Narcisse,
that is, is in a bowl.

181
00:11:57,960 –> 00:12:01,280
They’re called the sacred bull.
And the mountains round about

182
00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:04,800
it, you can’t see it from fire.
You’re almost on top of it.

183
00:12:04,800 –> 00:12:07,200
And suddenly that it’s all in
front of you.

184
00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:12,240
So to say he saw the place afar
off from 10:10 or 20 miles

185
00:12:12,240 –> 00:12:14,440
further away doesn’t make any
sense.

186
00:12:15,240 –> 00:12:17,240
Isn’t 1 kilometre to go and
you’re there.

187
00:12:18,880 –> 00:12:24,400
That’s a very special word, the
word afar off, because David

188
00:12:24,720 –> 00:12:28,680
used the very same word, but he
translated it very differently.

189
00:12:29,240 –> 00:12:32,240
When Abram lifted his eye, he
saw the place afar off, that

190
00:12:32,240 –> 00:12:34,520
word afar off as merkhak in
Hebrew.

191
00:12:35,560 –> 00:12:38,520
And God gave those wonderful
promises to David in the book of

192
00:12:38,520 –> 00:12:42,320
Chronic on Samuel says, thou has
spoken also to thy servants

193
00:12:42,320 –> 00:12:46,840
house for a great while to come.
It’s the same word in Hebrew by

194
00:12:46,840 –> 00:12:51,200
the sisters, Merkhak.
So it is not the physical

195
00:12:51,200 –> 00:12:56,600
distance that was very far off,
but God made Abraham look into

196
00:12:56,600 –> 00:13:00,760
the future to that greatest
sacrifice that was also brought

197
00:13:01,040 –> 00:13:07,520
on Mount Moriah.
Because here we see a mosaic

198
00:13:07,520 –> 00:13:12,640
floor portraying the events of
Genesis 22.

199
00:13:12,640 –> 00:13:17,440
Here we see Abraham, he’s his
name, Afraham lifting up Itzhak.

200
00:13:17,440 –> 00:13:20,520
There is Isaac, I think.
Isaac was a bit bigger than to

201
00:13:20,520 –> 00:13:23,840
be able to pick him up his one
hand he carried all the root for

202
00:13:23,840 –> 00:13:27,840
the burnt of him himself.
And then we see the van, which

203
00:13:27,840 –> 00:13:33,000
is thorns in what is a thorn
Bush, and the little black cloud

204
00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:35,760
hides the Angel.
You can’t portray the Angel.

205
00:13:35,760 –> 00:13:38,240
The hand represents the Angel,
the Angel.

206
00:13:38,240 –> 00:13:44,480
Saying Alti Slach, don’t send
your hand to slay Isaac.

207
00:13:44,480 –> 00:13:48,280
And he had the two servants
waiting with the donkeys.

208
00:13:49,160 –> 00:13:53,120
And the great thing is, if you
look at verse 5 of Genesis 22 by

209
00:13:53,120 –> 00:13:55,600
the sisters, it’s much stronger
in the Hebrew.

210
00:13:56,000 –> 00:14:00,440
Abram said it to his young men.
Abide he here with the S and I,

211
00:14:00,560 –> 00:14:04,560
and the lad will.
Go Yonder and worship and we

212
00:14:04,560 –> 00:14:08,200
will come again to you.
He’s speaking in the plural.

213
00:14:08,200 –> 00:14:10,680
We didn’t say I am coming back
now we.

214
00:14:11,960 –> 00:14:14,880
Isaac and myself will come back
to you.

215
00:14:15,200 –> 00:14:19,280
His faith in the resurrection is
expressed here because God has

216
00:14:19,280 –> 00:14:22,800
said that his siege on inherit
the land forever.

217
00:14:23,320 –> 00:14:24,880
Well, how can he give a promise
like that?

218
00:14:24,880 –> 00:14:27,880
If he was going to kill Isaac?
I would believe that even if God

219
00:14:27,880 –> 00:14:30,960
was going, he had to kill.
God would have to raise him from

220
00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:33,080
the dead to fulfil those
promises.

221
00:14:34,360 –> 00:14:40,120
Think of the ram, brethren,
sisters, that ram that was

222
00:14:40,120 –> 00:14:46,240
called in a thicket by his
horns, that was a thorn Bush.

223
00:14:47,920 –> 00:14:52,560
That ram, by getting his head in
the thorn Bush, he got thorns in

224
00:14:52,560 –> 00:14:57,880
his head and Jesus stood before
those Roman souls, They put a

225
00:14:57,880 –> 00:15:02,400
crown of thorns on his head.
It’s a fulfilment of the type of

226
00:15:02,400 –> 00:15:05,400
that ram that was thick at that
thorn Bush is called.

227
00:15:05,680 –> 00:15:08,280
Sabah.
It’s a thorny Bush and he can

228
00:15:08,280 –> 00:15:10,520
see a ram which is horned in the
thicket.

229
00:15:10,760 –> 00:15:15,600
When he says Eli Eli lama
sabakhtani, it doesn’t mean in

230
00:15:15,600 –> 00:15:18,120
the Hebrew.
Why is thou forsaken me?

231
00:15:18,120 –> 00:15:21,680
Because that will be Al Zaftani
Sabak.

232
00:15:22,160 –> 00:15:25,760
Is that thicket?
It means the horns of the ramble

233
00:15:25,760 –> 00:15:28,880
court.
It represents humanity, and

234
00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:34,440
Christ never felt the humanity
of Himself greater than when He

235
00:15:34,440 –> 00:15:38,640
was hanging on that tree.
God never forsook his son when

236
00:15:38,640 –> 00:15:42,040
he says Ali, Ali Lama SA
Bahtani.

237
00:15:43,120 –> 00:15:45,520
He doesn’t.
He doesn’t use the word Yahweh.

238
00:15:45,960 –> 00:15:49,480
He doesn’t use the word elohim.
He used the word ail.

239
00:15:50,920 –> 00:15:54,040
Ali is my ail and ail means
power.

240
00:15:54,560 –> 00:15:57,880
He said actually my power, my
power.

241
00:15:58,080 –> 00:16:01,920
Why has thou thicketed me?
Because I said thorn Bush

242
00:16:02,160 –> 00:16:08,280
neutralized the power of the
ram, so the power which Jesus

243
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:11,480
had, which was given to him when
he was baptised in Bethelbarra,

244
00:16:11,760 –> 00:16:16,120
when the Holy Spirit came upon
him and I was ebbing away.

245
00:16:16,640 –> 00:16:19,080
Otherwise he could not have died
with their sisters.

246
00:16:19,760 –> 00:16:22,960
So God never forsook him like
the Father of Gideon never

247
00:16:22,960 –> 00:16:25,440
forsook him.
But we need to understand

248
00:16:25,440 –> 00:16:29,240
exactly what did Jesus say?
My power, my power.

249
00:16:29,720 –> 00:16:32,120
Why have you forsaken me?
Why has my power now caught up

250
00:16:32,120 –> 00:16:36,360
in this thorn Bush of humanity?
Because in the beginning he

251
00:16:36,480 –> 00:16:39,920
could still come down from the
cross, but a few hours later

252
00:16:40,160 –> 00:16:41,520
that would not have been
possible.

253
00:16:41,880 –> 00:16:45,800
It was necessary that his power
went away from him so that he

254
00:16:45,800 –> 00:16:49,920
could fulfill.
And then in Genesis 22.

255
00:16:50,400 –> 00:16:53,440
After the events.
In verse 14, look what it says

256
00:16:53,440 –> 00:16:55,600
there.
Abram called the name of that

257
00:16:55,600 –> 00:16:59,560
place because the power of that
place is in its name.

258
00:16:59,680 –> 00:17:02,040
It says in in the English here
Jehovah.

259
00:17:02,120 –> 00:17:04,319
Yeah, well Jehovah is a bad
translation.

260
00:17:05,000 –> 00:17:08,280
It is Yahweh and it’s not Yah,
it is Yah.

261
00:17:08,280 –> 00:17:14,640
E got to provide or you can.
There’s an interpretation, it

262
00:17:14,640 –> 00:17:20,200
says in the Hebrew.
The Ha that’s in the mountain,

263
00:17:20,920 –> 00:17:28,240
Yahweh, Yah E shall be seen
because Abraham looked into the

264
00:17:28,440 –> 00:17:31,320
future.
He saw the place afar off.

265
00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:36,360
He knew that the greater Son of
God himself, his only begotten

266
00:17:36,360 –> 00:17:39,600
Son, would be sacrificed on that
mountain.

267
00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:45,080
In the mount.
Yahweh shall be seen, and all

268
00:17:45,080 –> 00:17:47,800
that would have gone through the
head of the Lord Jesus Christ

269
00:17:47,800 –> 00:17:50,760
when he was standing on the top
of that Mount of Olives and

270
00:17:50,960 –> 00:17:54,840
looking over Jerusalem.
He would have gone forward in

271
00:17:54,840 –> 00:17:58,040
His mind to the time of David
when?

272
00:17:58,120 –> 00:18:01,080
David had built a city.
Here he was, his palace.

273
00:18:01,520 –> 00:18:04,360
But outside, here’s the top of
the mountain, and next to it was

274
00:18:04,360 –> 00:18:08,200
a threshing floor.
And he built an altar there that

275
00:18:08,200 –> 00:18:11,800
became the altar for the
beautiful temple which King

276
00:18:11,800 –> 00:18:12,880
Solomon had.
Built.

277
00:18:13,480 –> 00:18:17,160
And so the city grew through the
80s, but the place of the altar

278
00:18:17,160 –> 00:18:20,360
always remained the same.
It was the city of David.

279
00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:23,320
This is the city of Solomon in
the town of King Hezekiah.

280
00:18:23,320 –> 00:18:25,760
The city was.
Made very, very large.

281
00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:29,760
All the western hill was now
included in the limits of

282
00:18:29,760 –> 00:18:32,960
Jerusalem.
Now originally it was only on

283
00:18:32,960 –> 00:18:35,440
the eastern hill.
The Old City is built on two

284
00:18:35,440 –> 00:18:38,720
hills, the eastern hill and the
western hill.

285
00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:41,200
And God’s purposes was the
eastern hill.

286
00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:44,400
That’s where the city of
Melchisedecros, the city of

287
00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:46,000
David.
That’s where Sonam built a

288
00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:49,640
temple, but later it was
extended and Hezekiah.

289
00:18:49,640 –> 00:18:51,960
Built a big wall.
Around it, and he joined the

290
00:18:51,960 –> 00:18:55,040
city together.
That’s what it says in Psalm 22.

291
00:18:55,040 –> 00:18:58,920
Jerusalem is a city that is not
compact, that is joined

292
00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:02,160
together.
Hezekiah joined the Western Wall

293
00:19:02,360 –> 00:19:05,960
with Heston Hill to the east
wall by this massive city wall

294
00:19:06,360 –> 00:19:08,080
which had been excavated as
well.

295
00:19:09,240 –> 00:19:12,760
And after the exile, Nehemiah
first, Ezra came back.

296
00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:16,360
It’s a rebel and Yeshua, they
built the altar first.

297
00:19:16,720 –> 00:19:20,440
And only 20 years later another
temple was built and Nehemiah

298
00:19:20,440 –> 00:19:23,880
built the city walls.
And that’s it again developed

299
00:19:24,280 –> 00:19:26,280
until you come to the time of
Christ.

300
00:19:26,280 –> 00:19:27,880
And this is the city which he
saw.

301
00:19:28,360 –> 00:19:33,000
There’s a huge temple complex, a
beautiful gold covered temple,

302
00:19:33,320 –> 00:19:35,680
but still that altar there in
front.

303
00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:39,840
Here’s the Siloam pool where
Jesus healed the blind man.

304
00:19:40,360 –> 00:19:43,920
Here is the palace of Pilate,
the Praetorium where Jesus stood

305
00:19:43,920 –> 00:19:47,000
before Pilate.
And somewhere here is the palace

306
00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:49,560
of the high priest.
And we’re going to follow the

307
00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:52,160
roots of the Lord Jesus Christ
in those last days.

308
00:19:52,160 –> 00:19:54,040
But.
When he was standing still on

309
00:19:54,040 –> 00:19:55,800
the top of the Mount of Olives
breadness.

310
00:19:56,960 –> 00:19:59,440
I think he would have thought
about the red heifer.

311
00:20:01,040 –> 00:20:05,440
In Numbers chapter 19 we read
about the red heifer.

312
00:20:05,520 –> 00:20:22,320
Let’s go to Numbers chapter 19.
And in verse 2, this is the

313
00:20:22,320 –> 00:20:25,920
ordinance of the law which Yao
had commanded, saying, Speak on

314
00:20:25,920 –> 00:20:29,040
the children official, that they
bring thee a red heifer without

315
00:20:29,040 –> 00:20:33,080
spot, without blemish, upon
which never came a yoke, or

316
00:20:33,080 –> 00:20:35,320
Christ was without spot and
without blemish.

317
00:20:35,800 –> 00:20:38,200
And ye shall give her unto
Eliezer the priest, that may

318
00:20:38,480 –> 00:20:41,480
bring her forth without the
camp, and one shall slay her

319
00:20:41,480 –> 00:20:43,600
before his face.
And Eliezer the priest shall

320
00:20:43,880 –> 00:20:46,000
take off the blood of his.
Finger and sprinkle.

321
00:20:46,000 –> 00:20:49,000
Off her blood, directly before
the Tabernacle of the

322
00:20:49,000 –> 00:20:52,560
congregation, 7 times one shall
burn the heifer in his sight.

323
00:20:52,760 –> 00:20:55,920
Her skin, her flesh, her blood
pressure, dung shall he burn.

324
00:20:56,280 –> 00:20:59,200
And the priest shall take cedar
root and hyssop and scalp and

325
00:20:59,200 –> 00:21:00,920
cast it into the midst of the
burning.

326
00:21:01,160 –> 00:21:06,000
Of the heifer and then they
would take 1st 10 the ashes of

327
00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:11,720
the heifer heifer they put it in
a bowl of water and it would

328
00:21:11,720 –> 00:21:15,680
personally to be purified.
You sprinkled that person with

329
00:21:15,680 –> 00:21:20,880
the ashes of the red heifer, but
it says in verse 4 the blood was

330
00:21:20,880 –> 00:21:27,320
sprinkled directly before the
Tabernacle.

331
00:21:28,040 –> 00:21:30,840
And they did the same thing in
the time of the Lord Jesus

332
00:21:30,840 –> 00:21:33,440
Christ, as you can read in the
Mishnah, there was a place on

333
00:21:33,440 –> 00:21:36,560
the Mount of Olives right
opposite the temple just before

334
00:21:36,560 –> 00:21:39,840
you go down, and that is where
they sacrificed the red heffer.

335
00:21:40,600 –> 00:21:44,600
So Jesus would have thought
about that red heffer, and you

336
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:48,040
can read in Hebrews Chapter 9
with the blood of bulls and of

337
00:21:48,040 –> 00:21:51,480
goats and the ashes of the
heffer sprinkling the unclean.

338
00:21:51,480 –> 00:21:54,360
It was sacrificed on the place
where he was pregnant.

339
00:21:54,360 –> 00:21:59,040
Sisters, if it sanctifies to the
puring after flesh, how much

340
00:21:59,040 –> 00:22:02,160
more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit

341
00:22:02,160 –> 00:22:05,400
offered himself without spot to
God, purge your conscience from

342
00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:07,600
dead works to serve the living
God?

343
00:22:07,960 –> 00:22:09,880
Because standing on the spot
where the red heifer was

344
00:22:09,880 –> 00:22:14,080
sacrificed, from time to time,
Jesus knew that he would have to

345
00:22:14,080 –> 00:22:17,320
shed his own blood.
And there’s another association

346
00:22:17,320 –> 00:22:23,200
there with the Mount of Olives.
On Yom Kippur, the Day of

347
00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:29,720
Atonement, a priest would bring
2 almost identical looking goats

348
00:22:30,120 –> 00:22:33,440
and present him before the high
priest at the foot of the steps

349
00:22:33,440 –> 00:22:35,400
that lead up to the port of the
temple.

350
00:22:36,880 –> 00:22:39,080
And while they were standing
there before the high priest,

351
00:22:39,080 –> 00:22:42,840
the high priest would cast lots.
And they’ve made lots again

352
00:22:42,840 –> 00:22:48,080
today by the sisters.
They have a little box here and

353
00:22:48,080 –> 00:22:53,160
it says he lots, and this is Le
Azazel for the scapegoat.

354
00:22:54,040 –> 00:22:58,680
And the priest here standing
with the two goats, he has drawn

355
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:02,640
his lot hosed up Le Azazel and
that goat would get a scarred

356
00:23:02,640 –> 00:23:07,800
thread round his horns.
But then the priest would,

357
00:23:08,040 –> 00:23:09,880
because he’s facing the temple
here.

358
00:23:10,560 –> 00:23:15,400
Then he would turn the goat.
Around when it faced the people

359
00:23:16,840 –> 00:23:19,560
and he had.
Put his hand on the head of the

360
00:23:19,560 –> 00:23:24,520
goat, and he laid all the things
of the hen on the head of the

361
00:23:24,520 –> 00:23:26,520
goat.
A design is booked.

362
00:23:26,520 –> 00:23:29,880
The temple, right?
A more marked type of Christ

363
00:23:30,160 –> 00:23:34,080
could not have been conceived.
As he was brought forth by Pilot

364
00:23:34,080 –> 00:23:37,720
and stood before the people just
before he was about to be let

365
00:23:37,720 –> 00:23:42,920
forth, bearing the iniquity of
the people, he said, Behold the

366
00:23:42,920 –> 00:23:49,680
scapegoat, Pilot says.
Behold the man I saw, Brendan

367
00:23:49,680 –> 00:23:55,240
sisters that scapegoats, as you
can read in Leviticus 16.

368
00:23:55,480 –> 00:23:59,760
He shall bear upon him all the
iniquities unto a land not

369
00:23:59,800 –> 00:24:02,440
inhabited.
I think I mentioned this before.

370
00:24:02,680 –> 00:24:04,600
He shall let the goat into the
wilderness.

371
00:24:05,120 –> 00:24:08,240
But the Hebrew says He shall
bear upon him all the

372
00:24:08,240 –> 00:24:12,760
iniquities, 16 of his, 22 of
his, into a land cut off.

373
00:24:13,720 –> 00:24:16,320
It’s the same word as is used in
Isaiah 53.

374
00:24:16,560 –> 00:24:20,000
He was cut off out of the land
of the living.

375
00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:23,880
So it’s not only the association
with the red heifer, but also

376
00:24:23,880 –> 00:24:27,120
with the scapegoat, because that
was brought out of the temple,

377
00:24:27,480 –> 00:24:32,160
went across the Kedong Valley,
passed by Gethsemane, went up

378
00:24:32,160 –> 00:24:34,320
that path where Jesus was
standing at the top.

379
00:24:35,040 –> 00:24:38,120
All those things by the scissors
would have gone through his

380
00:24:38,120 –> 00:24:42,200
head.
And the more we know Scriptures.

381
00:24:42,440 –> 00:24:45,240
And the more we know what
happened at particular places

382
00:24:45,240 –> 00:24:49,160
where the Lord Jesus Christ was,
the more we can enter into His

383
00:24:49,160 –> 00:24:52,520
mind.
And here it is, Then that’s

384
00:24:52,520 –> 00:24:54,880
scapegoat.
I will place His.

385
00:24:54,880 –> 00:24:57,800
Hands on the head of the
scapegoat who symbolically

386
00:24:57,800 –> 00:25:01,640
carried away the sins of the
people into a land cut off.

387
00:25:02,040 –> 00:25:07,680
Leviticus 1622 and Isaiah says
that he was cut off, same word

388
00:25:09,080 –> 00:25:14,600
out of the land of the living.
So if you remember then the red

389
00:25:14,600 –> 00:25:20,040
heaven and the scapegoat, the
types of what the Lord Jesus

390
00:25:20,040 –> 00:25:25,200
Christ was now going to fulfil
and so when he walked down that

391
00:25:25,200 –> 00:25:27,160
path.
And you can still do that today.

392
00:25:27,160 –> 00:25:30,360
He’s our son Benjamin, and our
daughter-in-law, Claire, walking

393
00:25:30,360 –> 00:25:34,280
down that path as Jesus did.
So he would have thought,

394
00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:38,560
brethren, sisters, that was the
day that David fled from his son

395
00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:41,440
Absalom, because he crossed the
Kedon Valley and went over the

396
00:25:41,440 –> 00:25:43,600
Mount of Olives.
You can read the whole story

397
00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:46,640
there.
And he just knew that he was

398
00:25:46,640 –> 00:25:48,640
going to be rejected by his
brethren also.

399
00:25:49,040 –> 00:25:52,400
But as David came back the
second time as king, he would

400
00:25:52,400 –> 00:25:55,800
have taken comfort.
But as David also came back the

401
00:25:55,800 –> 00:25:59,440
second time to be king of
Israel, so Jesus also would come

402
00:25:59,440 –> 00:26:01,960
back the second time king of
Israel.

403
00:26:01,960 –> 00:26:05,840
He would have thought then about
the root of the scapegoat, the

404
00:26:05,840 –> 00:26:09,800
root of the red heifer.
But at the bottom of this road

405
00:26:09,840 –> 00:26:15,640
by the Sisters is Gethsemane.
And that’s where Jesus went

406
00:26:15,760 –> 00:26:17,640
next.
Let’s go to.

407
00:26:17,680 –> 00:26:33,550
John, Chapter 18.
So after Jesus had spoken all

408
00:26:33,550 –> 00:26:39,390
those words of John 17, then he
went over with his disciples

409
00:26:39,630 –> 00:26:42,760
over the brook Kitron.
There was a garden into the

410
00:26:42,760 –> 00:26:44,880
which he entered and his
disciples.

411
00:26:45,840 –> 00:26:48,440
It wasn’t really happening then
when he went down the first

412
00:26:48,440 –> 00:26:51,800
time, but a few days later he
would be there in Gethsemane.

413
00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:53,400
And what does it mean by the
sisters?

414
00:26:54,240 –> 00:26:59,320
Gethsemane is only the Greek
form of the Hebrew Gatsmanim.

415
00:27:00,040 –> 00:27:03,640
It means the Press of the olive
oil.

416
00:27:04,680 –> 00:27:09,280
And we need to understand how an
olive press works because that

417
00:27:09,280 –> 00:27:13,400
process.
Of getting an olive produce

418
00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:17,240
eventually, that oil was a very
harsh process.

419
00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:24,160
So we’ve seen then that Jesus
came down from Gethsemane and

420
00:27:25,120 –> 00:27:27,080
you one slide behind.
Here’s Gethsemane.

421
00:27:27,080 –> 00:27:32,520
He came down that path.
It comes down right here, and

422
00:27:32,520 –> 00:27:37,960
here is Gethsemane.
It means an olive press, and

423
00:27:37,960 –> 00:27:40,640
here is one example is in
Capernaum, there are many all

424
00:27:40,640 –> 00:27:46,120
over the country.
It’s a huge wooden basin with

425
00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:49,680
kind of an upright stand and a
hole in the middle because a

426
00:27:49,680 –> 00:27:52,440
wooden beam goes through the
hole of that roller.

427
00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:55,800
There was turned around over
those olives.

428
00:27:55,800 –> 00:27:58,680
I remember one of our little
boys and for the first time

429
00:27:58,680 –> 00:28:03,280
showed him the olive press and I
told him that the olives get

430
00:28:03,280 –> 00:28:06,360
picked off the tree.
And they put it in this basin.

431
00:28:06,720 –> 00:28:09,560
And then the.
Wheel runs over it to crush it.

432
00:28:10,160 –> 00:28:14,640
So the little boy says wow, if I
was an olive I’d be dead.

433
00:28:17,160 –> 00:28:19,760
And and that’s it.
It’s the first phase of

434
00:28:19,760 –> 00:28:24,280
producing the Holy Spirit, of
which the olive oil is a type.

435
00:28:24,880 –> 00:28:26,960
So first of all, the oils get
crushed.

436
00:28:27,240 –> 00:28:31,000
They need to be broken open and
then they need to be pressed,

437
00:28:31,000 –> 00:28:32,560
and there are two ways of doing
that.

438
00:28:32,840 –> 00:28:36,560
In the Old Testament period, in
both pairs, they put those

439
00:28:36,560 –> 00:28:38,960
crushed olives in a round
basket.

440
00:28:39,240 –> 00:28:43,200
They stacked them up in the Old
Testament period underneath a

441
00:28:43,200 –> 00:28:45,320
heavy stone and a.
Huge.

442
00:28:45,320 –> 00:28:48,280
Lever a huge.
Beam is massive stones hanging

443
00:28:48,280 –> 00:28:53,200
on it and slowly, slowly that
would press the oil out of those

444
00:28:53,200 –> 00:28:57,120
crushed olives and here in the
second temple period they had a

445
00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:01,480
contraction out of stone or a
fruit and a screw and that

446
00:29:01,600 –> 00:29:06,280
pressed down and down and down
on all those baskets that were

447
00:29:06,280 –> 00:29:08,680
filled just the crushed olives
so eventually.

448
00:29:09,280 –> 00:29:12,560
The olive oil comes out.
I mean, nobody says that olive

449
00:29:12,560 –> 00:29:14,840
oil is a type of the Holy
Spirit.

450
00:29:15,640 –> 00:29:20,880
Which can only produce it
through crushing and pressing.

451
00:29:21,560 –> 00:29:25,280
And that’s why Jesus had to be
in the Garden of Gethsemane.

452
00:29:26,000 –> 00:29:29,520
So it’s good to think from that
about the literal process by the

453
00:29:29,560 –> 00:29:34,720
Sisters of the Garden of
Gethsemane, the garden of the

454
00:29:34,920 –> 00:29:37,040
oil press, because that was the
process.

455
00:29:37,040 –> 00:29:39,400
Which Jesus is going to go
through right now.

456
00:29:42,320 –> 00:29:44,840
After he was arrested in
Gethsemane, we skipped now the.

457
00:29:44,840 –> 00:29:48,360
Days in between.
He was brought to the palace of

458
00:29:48,360 –> 00:29:51,440
the high priest.
Look at John 18 and verse 13.

459
00:29:54,280 –> 00:29:58,400
After he was arrested in
Gethsemane, they led him away to

460
00:29:58,400 –> 00:30:01,360
Anas first, where he was
father-in-law, to Caiaphas,

461
00:30:01,360 –> 00:30:03,400
which was the high priest.
The same hour.

462
00:30:03,720 –> 00:30:07,360
Now Caiaphas was he which gave
counsel to the Jews that was

463
00:30:07,360 –> 00:30:09,920
expedient for one man to die for
the people.

464
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:14,200
And Simon Peter followed Jesus,
and so did another disciple, and

465
00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:17,040
that disciple was known unto the
high priest, and went in with

466
00:30:17,120 –> 00:30:19,640
Jesus into the palace of the
high priest.

467
00:30:20,880 –> 00:30:26,560
Let us go back to slides.
We we made a map, one of our

468
00:30:26,560 –> 00:30:31,640
Bible charts, to show exactly
that path of the last day of the

469
00:30:31,640 –> 00:30:33,880
Lord Jesus Christ.
Here’s the Garden of Gethsemane.

470
00:30:34,520 –> 00:30:37,600
He would have walked alongside
the east side of the Temple

471
00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:39,760
Mount, go through the Mifkad
Gate.

472
00:30:39,760 –> 00:30:42,880
That was the gate through which
the red heifer and the scapegoat

473
00:30:42,880 –> 00:30:45,480
was led out.
Then he came round the Double

474
00:30:45,480 –> 00:30:48,880
Gate Plaza, and then he went
here to the palace of the High

475
00:30:48,880 –> 00:30:53,080
Priest.
From there he was led to Pirate,

476
00:30:53,640 –> 00:30:57,600
who stayed in the old palace of
King Herod the Great, and he had

477
00:30:57,600 –> 00:30:59,920
this judgment seat there called
the Praetorian.

478
00:31:00,400 –> 00:31:03,920
From there he went to Herod
Antipath, who lived in the

479
00:31:04,160 –> 00:31:07,680
Hasmonean Palace.
From the Hasmonean Palace, back

480
00:31:07,680 –> 00:31:10,000
to Pirate again, and then to
Golkotha.

481
00:31:10,600 –> 00:31:13,480
Now some people think it’s here,
some people think it’s there.

482
00:31:13,800 –> 00:31:19,760
I think it’s somewhere else, but
never mind.

483
00:31:21,520 –> 00:31:24,760
Professor Avigad, during his 10
year long excavations in the

484
00:31:24,760 –> 00:31:29,600
Jewish quarter, uncovered a
massive building and I was later

485
00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:32,840
put in charge in the restoration
of this building.

486
00:31:33,120 –> 00:31:35,480
It’s an absolutely massive
building.

487
00:31:36,120 –> 00:31:39,600
The professor called it the
palatial mansion.

488
00:31:39,880 –> 00:31:43,480
It’s occupied about 5 1/2
thousand square feet.

489
00:31:43,840 –> 00:31:47,680
It was a huge building which was
had all the rooms centred around

490
00:31:48,000 –> 00:31:51,640
a stone courtyard.
And it’s the main reception

491
00:31:51,680 –> 00:31:53,680
room.
But I’ve also decorated with

492
00:31:53,680 –> 00:31:57,200
stucco or with fresco.
There are bathrooms here and

493
00:31:57,200 –> 00:32:00,720
this particular one, it’s four
MIC FA Oh, ritual bath for

494
00:32:00,720 –> 00:32:02,800
bathing.
One here, one there and two

495
00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:06,280
below the courtyard and the
staircase going down.

496
00:32:06,280 –> 00:32:08,760
And you can.
Walk through the palace and

497
00:32:08,760 –> 00:32:12,360
today because it’s been opened
to the public and if you know

498
00:32:12,360 –> 00:32:17,040
your scriptures you can imagine
exactly what happened when Jesus

499
00:32:17,040 –> 00:32:21,360
stood before Anas now Anas was
the high priest, but not really

500
00:32:21,360 –> 00:32:26,360
because Caiaphas was the high
priest see Anas was only high

501
00:32:26,360 –> 00:32:32,400
priest from. 680 to 1580 and
then he was that was the the

502
00:32:32,400 –> 00:32:36,480
time the Romans gave him to be
high priest and it had another

503
00:32:36,480 –> 00:32:38,920
neck, another high priest and
another one and another one

504
00:32:39,400 –> 00:32:42,960
actually all the.
Five sons of Anas, the high

505
00:32:42,960 –> 00:32:46,000
priest, became high priest one
after the other, so I can

506
00:32:46,000 –> 00:32:49,000
imagine.
Anas the great behind the scenes

507
00:32:49,160 –> 00:32:52,080
telling his sons what to do, and
then he went through his five

508
00:32:52,080 –> 00:32:54,680
sons and then no more sons then
his son-in-law.

509
00:32:54,680 –> 00:32:58,120
Caiaphas became high priest in
the time of the Lord Jesus

510
00:32:58,120 –> 00:33:02,840
Christ.
But Jesus was led to Anas first.

511
00:33:03,160 –> 00:33:07,440
He was the major power figure,
the Eminence Greece of the high

512
00:33:07,440 –> 00:33:11,040
priesthood, and he stood before
him, I believe, in this

513
00:33:11,040 –> 00:33:13,400
reception room, which we
restored.

514
00:33:15,120 –> 00:33:18,040
And I made a reconstruction
drawing of this magnificent

515
00:33:18,040 –> 00:33:21,000
building, the most beautiful
room ever excavated in Jerusalem

516
00:33:21,200 –> 00:33:22,800
and in the whole of the land of
Israel.

517
00:33:23,040 –> 00:33:26,840
It is 6 metres wide and 11 1/2
metres wide.

518
00:33:26,840 –> 00:33:29,200
That was the reception room of
the high priest.

519
00:33:29,200 –> 00:33:32,080
And I believe that Jesus stood
before the high priest in this

520
00:33:32,080 –> 00:33:35,320
particular room.
And if you can follow me, then

521
00:33:35,320 –> 00:33:39,960
you can understand what Peter
was also, because John knew the

522
00:33:39,960 –> 00:33:42,560
high priest and he went into the
palace.

523
00:33:42,920 –> 00:33:45,520
And so, and he took in Peter
also.

524
00:33:46,800 –> 00:33:51,080
Now in that centre courtyard we
read in John 18 and verse 18.

525
00:33:51,400 –> 00:33:53,880
And the servants and the
officers stood there who had

526
00:33:53,880 –> 00:33:56,960
made a fire of cold, for it was
cold.

527
00:33:57,320 –> 00:34:00,200
And they warned themselves.
And Peter stood with with them

528
00:34:00,200 –> 00:34:03,800
and warned himself.
So he’s our daughter-in-law,

529
00:34:03,800 –> 00:34:08,199
Claire, with a pretend fire, the
rucksack there.

530
00:34:08,560 –> 00:34:11,000
And people were warming
themselves in the courtyard

531
00:34:11,239 –> 00:34:15,159
because to warm the rooms, you
can’t make a bonfire in the room

532
00:34:15,159 –> 00:34:18,239
because everything gets black.
They brought charcoal in from

533
00:34:18,239 –> 00:34:21,400
the Mount of Olives that they
bought and they they heated it

534
00:34:21,400 –> 00:34:25,239
up and they had bronze braziers
in which the the burning coals

535
00:34:25,239 –> 00:34:27,560
were put in and ones had stopped
smoking.

536
00:34:27,560 –> 00:34:29,080
And they put them in the
different rooms.

537
00:34:29,360 –> 00:34:31,520
And Peter was there, and we
know.

538
00:34:31,520 –> 00:34:36,480
All how the cock grew three
times and Jesus looked at Peter.

539
00:34:36,480 –> 00:34:38,159
How is that possible by the
sisters?

540
00:34:38,600 –> 00:34:41,280
There’s only one place where
that is possible.

541
00:34:42,480 –> 00:34:44,600
He asked.
And that the husband of our

542
00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:48,159
daughter Claire stands there
next to my own picture here on

543
00:34:48,159 –> 00:34:50,960
the wall when I was doing the.
Restoration standing in the

544
00:34:50,960 –> 00:34:53,800
place right in the centre of
this building where we believe

545
00:34:53,840 –> 00:34:59,400
Jesus stood and Peter moved away
from the fire because they

546
00:34:59,880 –> 00:35:03,440
thought he was a Galilee.
But if you stand exactly in the

547
00:35:03,440 –> 00:35:06,360
centre of the reception room,
there are two doorways you can

548
00:35:06,360 –> 00:35:09,800
look through.
If you stand in the one corner

549
00:35:10,360 –> 00:35:14,840
of that courtyard, you can look
right into the reception room.

550
00:35:15,480 –> 00:35:17,880
And then the Lord turned and
looked upon Peter.

551
00:35:18,160 –> 00:35:20,520
And Peter, remember the word of
the Lord, how he had said unto

552
00:35:20,520 –> 00:35:23,800
him before the Cockrell, Thou
shalt deny me thrice.

553
00:35:24,680 –> 00:35:26,720
And sober.
And sisters, here in the place

554
00:35:27,160 –> 00:35:30,840
in this corner of the courtyard
which we restored, you look

555
00:35:30,840 –> 00:35:34,520
through the entrance hall,
through this doorway and right

556
00:35:34,520 –> 00:35:39,120
in the centre there Jesus stood.
I put the Bible up in there in a

557
00:35:39,120 –> 00:35:43,760
one place where you can stand.
And then Peter remembered the

558
00:35:43,760 –> 00:35:46,360
words of Jesus which said on
train before the cock crowed, I

559
00:35:46,360 –> 00:35:48,240
shall deny me thrice.
And he went out.

560
00:35:48,240 –> 00:35:50,800
And that’s bitterly.
Yeah.

561
00:35:51,480 –> 00:35:53,320
And so it’s amazing by my
sisters.

562
00:35:53,760 –> 00:35:56,120
Once the two were there and one
of the brothers who knew the

563
00:35:56,120 –> 00:35:57,960
Scriptures all stood in that.
Place and he broke.

564
00:35:57,960 –> 00:35:59,560
Down.
But, she said.

565
00:35:59,560 –> 00:36:03,280
We all stood there.
We’ve all denied the Lord Jesus

566
00:36:03,280 –> 00:36:14,320
in our life.
And so from the palace of the

567
00:36:14,320 –> 00:36:18,160
high priest, Jesus brought to
Pilot, where he stood before

568
00:36:18,160 –> 00:36:21,680
him.
And it’s all amazing for the

569
00:36:21,680 –> 00:36:25,600
sisters to follow the that way
to Golgotha.

570
00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:30,400
He went to Herod Antipaths and
back to Pilot, and then he was

571
00:36:30,400 –> 00:36:33,880
brought out to Golgotha.
Now there are arguments where

572
00:36:33,880 –> 00:36:36,240
Golgotha is, but actually it
doesn’t matter.

573
00:36:36,920 –> 00:36:40,840
We are told that he was brought
to a place of a skull.

574
00:36:41,800 –> 00:36:44,360
And that’s the important thing,
brethren and sisters.

575
00:36:46,720 –> 00:36:50,160
What skull was it?
Whose skull was it?

576
00:36:50,400 –> 00:36:56,280
Where Jesus was crucified?
The place of a skull, The

577
00:36:56,280 –> 00:37:02,080
traditions that when Christ.
Died a blood of drop of blood

578
00:37:02,080 –> 00:37:07,680
trickle down on what the Jews
believe where Adam’s skull is

579
00:37:07,680 –> 00:37:09,480
buried.
They believe that Adam’s.

580
00:37:09,480 –> 00:37:11,560
Skull is buried.
On.

581
00:37:12,040 –> 00:37:15,320
In Jerusalem, just north of
Mount Moriah.

582
00:37:15,320 –> 00:37:18,600
And he momentarily became alive,
and then he died again.

583
00:37:19,080 –> 00:37:24,160
But they’re just legends.
But there’s a very powerful

584
00:37:24,600 –> 00:37:26,560
connection with the skull, brain
and scissors.

585
00:37:26,560 –> 00:37:37,910
If you turn to One Samuel
chapter 17, they’ve got the

586
00:37:37,910 –> 00:37:44,110
battle of David with Goliath, a
story which we know very well

587
00:37:44,190 –> 00:37:51,200
indeed.
But we need to look, brethren,

588
00:37:51,200 –> 00:37:56,920
sisters, what motivated David?
Where did he get the courage

589
00:37:56,920 –> 00:38:03,320
from to face this giant?
It says in verse 45.

590
00:38:03,320 –> 00:38:06,000
Then said David to the
Philistine, Thou comes to me

591
00:38:06,000 –> 00:38:10,720
with a sword and a spear, and
with a shield, but I come to

592
00:38:10,720 –> 00:38:17,240
thee in the name of Yahweh of
armies, the Elvin of the armies

593
00:38:17,240 –> 00:38:19,560
of Israel, whom thou hast
defied.

594
00:38:19,880 –> 00:38:23,880
This day will Yahweh deliver
thee into mine hands, and I will

595
00:38:23,880 –> 00:38:25,800
smite thee and take thy hat from
thee.

596
00:38:26,040 –> 00:38:28,960
Now give the carcasses of the
host of the Philistines this day

597
00:38:28,960 –> 00:38:31,840
unto the fowls of the air and to
the wild beasts of the earth,

598
00:38:32,320 –> 00:38:38,920
that all the earth may know that
there is a God in Israel.

599
00:38:40,600 –> 00:38:44,040
There is pregnant sisters.
It’s one word in Hebrew.

600
00:38:44,480 –> 00:38:49,120
It is yesh.
His sole purpose was that to

601
00:38:49,120 –> 00:38:54,040
show that there is yesh, a God
in Israel.

602
00:38:55,600 –> 00:39:00,120
That’s the name of David’s
father and a brother in our

603
00:39:00,120 –> 00:39:03,240
meeting, which is called.
Jesse.

604
00:39:04,160 –> 00:39:12,040
Jesse means there is, and David
came to show who his real father

605
00:39:12,040 –> 00:39:13,800
was.
Of course, Jesse.

606
00:39:13,800 –> 00:39:17,720
Was his father from Bethlehem,
but his real father was in was

607
00:39:17,720 –> 00:39:21,120
God in heaven?
I’m come here to show that the

608
00:39:21,280 –> 00:39:26,840
whole world may know that Jesse
that there is a God in Israel

609
00:39:28,640 –> 00:39:32,440
and after he’d killed the the
giant in verse 54, David took

610
00:39:32,440 –> 00:39:35,280
the head of the Philistine and
brought it to Jerusalem.

611
00:39:35,960 –> 00:39:38,920
Why?
Why did he care that massive

612
00:39:38,920 –> 00:39:42,760
head head and walked all the way
up the the the Valley of Elah

613
00:39:43,080 –> 00:39:47,480
and go over Bethlehem and go to
Jerusalem and bury that head

614
00:39:47,480 –> 00:39:50,440
there?
Well, let us first.

615
00:39:50,440 –> 00:39:54,200
Come back to him again what
David did, He came to declare

616
00:39:54,200 –> 00:40:00,160
the name of his father.
Saul didn’t know who he was.

617
00:40:00,560 –> 00:40:04,440
He knew who David was, but he
didn’t know who David’s father

618
00:40:04,440 –> 00:40:09,120
was.
He says three times about David

619
00:40:09,200 –> 00:40:13,440
Luke in verse 56, the king said
in choir, Whose son is this

620
00:40:13,440 –> 00:40:18,440
tripling of verse 55.
First he said to Abner.

621
00:40:18,440 –> 00:40:21,200
The captain tells Abner, whose
son is this youth?

622
00:40:21,200 –> 00:40:25,320
The second one says, 56 Whose
son is this tripling?

623
00:40:25,840 –> 00:40:30,320
Verse 58 Saul said to him, Whose
son art thou, thou young man?

624
00:40:31,200 –> 00:40:34,440
And David answered, I’m the son
of thy servant.

625
00:40:35,000 –> 00:40:40,160
There is.
Yes, he the Bethlehemites, but

626
00:40:40,160 –> 00:40:43,000
Jonathan understood all, David
said.

627
00:40:43,400 –> 00:40:45,080
I’m the son of our servant,
Jesse.

628
00:40:45,360 –> 00:40:47,920
He would have listened.
To David when he said there.

629
00:40:48,040 –> 00:40:50,440
Is.
A God in Israel, because verse

630
00:40:50,480 –> 00:40:53,120
18, verse one, it came to pass
when he had made an end of

631
00:40:53,120 –> 00:40:57,240
speaking to soul, that the soul
of Jonathan was knit with the

632
00:40:57,240 –> 00:41:01,240
soul of David, and Jonathan
loved him as his own soul.

633
00:41:02,480 –> 00:41:04,440
When they’ve made the end of
speaking, what did he say?

634
00:41:05,160 –> 00:41:09,760
I am the son of the one who is,
and that is why this wonderful

635
00:41:09,760 –> 00:41:14,400
friendship started between
Jonathan and David and that

636
00:41:14,400 –> 00:41:17,720
school.
Was brought to Jerusalem.

637
00:41:18,400 –> 00:41:21,680
Now Jerusalem in that time there
was only a Canaanite city where

638
00:41:21,680 –> 00:41:24,440
the Melchizedek city was.
It was on the eastern hill of

639
00:41:24,440 –> 00:41:27,200
Jerusalem and I believe he would
have buried that school to the

640
00:41:27,200 –> 00:41:33,040
north of that city, but north of
Mount of Mount Moriah.

641
00:41:34,200 –> 00:41:37,040
If you go.
Nowadays to Jerusalem, the

642
00:41:37,640 –> 00:41:40,160
perpetual question we were asked
by Christian Delphi is when we

643
00:41:40,160 –> 00:41:42,120
lived there, where’s the tomb of
Jesus?

644
00:41:42,120 –> 00:41:46,360
Is the Holy Sepulchre or the
Garden tomb, the Holy Sepulchre?

645
00:41:46,360 –> 00:41:50,200
Brandon, sisters, this is David.
That’s the real skull we need to

646
00:41:50,200 –> 00:41:53,240
think about.
But outside Jerusalem, at the

647
00:41:53,240 –> 00:41:54,920
time of Jesus, there was the
temple.

648
00:41:54,920 –> 00:41:57,320
And here’s the 1st wall and the
second wall there’s a garden

649
00:41:57,320 –> 00:41:59,840
gate and you can go inside the
Holy Sepulchre.

650
00:41:59,840 –> 00:42:02,920
The top of this rock is visible.
You can’t even put 3 crosses on

651
00:42:02,920 –> 00:42:04,040
it.
And they say that’s the place

652
00:42:04,040 –> 00:42:08,160
where Christ was crucified.
I had to make this drawing

653
00:42:08,160 –> 00:42:11,560
against my own ideas for the ESV
study Bible.

654
00:42:12,040 –> 00:42:15,000
But then there you go.
But there’s another place to the

655
00:42:15,000 –> 00:42:18,840
north of the old city, near the
Damascus Gate and the bus

656
00:42:19,160 –> 00:42:21,040
station.
And there you can see a mount of

657
00:42:21,040 –> 00:42:24,880
formation with a kind of a.
Skull in it, but is that the

658
00:42:24,880 –> 00:42:26,440
skull?
The Bible refers to by the

659
00:42:26,440 –> 00:42:29,240
sisters.
Was the significance of a rock

660
00:42:29,240 –> 00:42:34,560
face which was cut later after
Christ died already that he went

661
00:42:34,560 –> 00:42:38,200
to the place called the school.
It’s a fulfillment when it says

662
00:42:38,200 –> 00:42:41,160
let’s go to.
Psalm 110 And that’s what David

663
00:42:41,160 –> 00:42:46,160
understood.
Goliath was the was the head of

664
00:42:46,560 –> 00:42:50,280
the great enemy of Israel, who
defied the name of the living

665
00:42:50,280 –> 00:42:54,000
God of Israel.
And then it gets Psalm 110.

666
00:42:54,760 –> 00:42:59,200
David understood, he says,
Yahweh said unto my Master, to

667
00:42:59,200 –> 00:43:04,520
my Lord, talking about his seed,
the Lord Jesus Christ.

668
00:43:04,680 –> 00:43:09,400
He called him Master Adam in
Hebrew, sit at my right hand

669
00:43:09,680 –> 00:43:11,680
until I make thine enemies thy
fruitstool.

670
00:43:11,680 –> 00:43:14,880
Let me read that he was going to
make a priest in verse 4, after

671
00:43:14,880 –> 00:43:18,000
the order of Melchizedek, that
in verse five he was strike

672
00:43:18,000 –> 00:43:19,800
through kings in the days of his
wrath.

673
00:43:19,800 –> 00:43:24,920
And in verse six he shall judge
among the nations, He shall fill

674
00:43:24,920 –> 00:43:29,360
the places with the dead bodies,
He shall wound the head of a

675
00:43:29,360 –> 00:43:32,360
great country.
It says in the Hebrew, just like

676
00:43:32,360 –> 00:43:35,120
Goliath was the head of a great
country of the Philistines, the

677
00:43:35,160 –> 00:43:37,800
enemy of God.
So in the last days there will

678
00:43:37,800 –> 00:43:41,320
be a head of all the armies that
come against Jesus, and he will

679
00:43:41,320 –> 00:43:46,800
just crush them.
And the proof of God’s power in

680
00:43:46,800 –> 00:43:51,560
crushing the head of the enemy
of Israel was.

681
00:43:52,000 –> 00:43:55,320
Taking that skull and burying it
in Golgotha.

682
00:43:55,320 –> 00:44:00,440
And therefore David overcame the
greatest enemy of his saw at his

683
00:44:00,440 –> 00:44:03,400
time.
But Jesus overcame a much

684
00:44:03,400 –> 00:44:08,800
greater enemy, death itself on
the place of the skull, the

685
00:44:08,800 –> 00:44:14,120
skull of Goliath, which
foreshadowed his own burial

686
00:44:14,120 –> 00:44:16,480
place.
It’s over in the Sisters.

687
00:44:17,400 –> 00:44:21,400
The Garden Tomb is closer to my
heart, although the tomb which

688
00:44:21,400 –> 00:44:27,240
is there was already 700 years
old when Christ died and was

689
00:44:27,240 –> 00:44:29,720
buried.
So that cannot have been the

690
00:44:29,720 –> 00:44:31,680
tomb.
But at least if you’ve been

691
00:44:31,680 –> 00:44:34,840
there as a beautiful quiet
garden and you can walk around

692
00:44:34,840 –> 00:44:37,840
to the benches to sit down and
you can open your Bible and read

693
00:44:38,120 –> 00:44:41,480
and think about this great
event, the power of God, Gotham,

694
00:44:41,480 –> 00:44:44,080
and.
Then Jesus was laid in a new

695
00:44:44,080 –> 00:44:46,360
tomb.
Well, a new tomb would have

696
00:44:46,360 –> 00:44:49,440
looked like this.
It would have been only A1

697
00:44:49,440 –> 00:44:52,960
chamber tomb with three benches
because the disciples and the

698
00:44:53,040 –> 00:44:56,760
women had to bend down.
They saw the body lying right in

699
00:44:56,760 –> 00:44:59,320
front of them.
But that tomb has not been

700
00:44:59,320 –> 00:45:02,080
found.
Let’s go to John chapter 20

701
00:45:02,080 –> 00:45:16,840
verse 5 and verse 8,
because that way it says so

702
00:45:18,520 –> 00:45:21,600
Peter who came first to the
sepulchre, John 20 verse 5, and

703
00:45:21,600 –> 00:45:23,840
he’s stooping down.
He had to bend down a low

704
00:45:23,840 –> 00:45:25,680
opening.
He saw the linen clothes lining,

705
00:45:26,000 –> 00:45:29,400
and yet he went not in.
Then comes Simon Peter following

706
00:45:29,400 –> 00:45:32,840
him and bent into the sepulchre
and seized the linen clothesline

707
00:45:33,120 –> 00:45:35,440
and the napkin that was about
the head, not lying with the

708
00:45:35,440 –> 00:45:37,960
linen clothes, but wrapped to
get into place by itself.

709
00:45:38,360 –> 00:45:41,000
That meant also the other
disciple is John which came

710
00:45:41,000 –> 00:45:44,680
first to the sepulchre and he
saw and he believed.

711
00:45:45,680 –> 00:45:48,720
What did He see by the sisters
that made Him believe?

712
00:45:49,440 –> 00:45:57,640
I’ll go back to Lazarus in
Chapter 11 because in John 11

713
00:45:57,640 –> 00:46:07,120
and verse 44 when Jesus raised
up Lazarus, in verse 44 it says

714
00:46:07,120 –> 00:46:12,040
he that was dead came forth.
He was bound hand and foot with

715
00:46:12,040 –> 00:46:17,840
grave clothes, and His face was
bound about with a napkin, and

716
00:46:17,840 –> 00:46:21,240
he sent him loose him and let
him go.

717
00:46:21,800 –> 00:46:22,920
He had to be.
Loosed.

718
00:46:23,520 –> 00:46:26,680
He was all tied up, hovering
over his head.

719
00:46:26,680 –> 00:46:30,440
He couldn’t see, and he just
came mortal out of the grave.

720
00:46:30,440 –> 00:46:33,840
And the proof is what John saw.
Because he needed the help of

721
00:46:33,840 –> 00:46:36,320
the angels to take that
headcloth off his face so that

722
00:46:36,320 –> 00:46:38,160
he could see what to do.
Then he could.

723
00:46:38,160 –> 00:46:41,720
Sit up with help of the angels.
Take off all the grave clothes.

724
00:46:42,320 –> 00:46:46,320
And then only after it appeared
to Mary Magdalene, then he went

725
00:46:46,320 –> 00:46:48,280
up.
He was close upon his

726
00:46:48,280 –> 00:46:50,400
immortality, and went up to his
father.

727
00:46:51,880 –> 00:46:54,200
And then by the sisters, he went
up.

728
00:46:54,840 –> 00:46:56,880
The disciples went before him to
Galilee.

729
00:46:56,880 –> 00:46:58,520
They appeared to them.
They would have gone over

730
00:46:58,520 –> 00:47:01,840
Bethabarra and they can imagine
that Jesus, if not embodied and

731
00:47:01,840 –> 00:47:04,960
in spirit, he would have again
crossed Bethabarra where he met

732
00:47:05,200 –> 00:47:08,160
the disciples and he gave them
the Great Commission.

733
00:47:08,440 –> 00:47:09,960
And then he went back to
Bethany.

734
00:47:10,960 –> 00:47:14,440
He went back to Bethany.
He looked 24.

735
00:47:14,920 –> 00:47:18,920
It says he led them out as far
as to Bethany and lifted up his

736
00:47:18,920 –> 00:47:22,680
hands and blessed them.
When he had spoken these things

737
00:47:22,680 –> 00:47:24,800
while they be held, he was taken
up in a cloud.

738
00:47:25,040 –> 00:47:28,160
Received him out at their sight.
Well, on the top of the Mount of

739
00:47:28,160 –> 00:47:31,200
Olives, right in the sight of
the old city is the Tower of

740
00:47:31,200 –> 00:47:34,880
Dissension.
People don’t read carefully.

741
00:47:34,880 –> 00:47:38,920
Bretton sisters.
These didn’t go up to heaven in

742
00:47:38,920 –> 00:47:45,120
full view of the city.
He went as far as Bethany, who

743
00:47:45,120 –> 00:47:47,360
was living in Bethany by any
sisters.

744
00:47:48,120 –> 00:47:54,680
That’s where his friends lived,
Martha and Mary and Lazarus.

745
00:47:55,240 –> 00:47:59,360
And I believe that he went to
his father from the House of his

746
00:47:59,360 –> 00:48:01,880
friends and that is a wonderful
thing.

747
00:48:01,880 –> 00:48:03,760
And then the Angel said in next
chapter 1.

748
00:48:04,280 –> 00:48:08,000
Why do you gaze up into heaven?
The same Jesus which is taken up

749
00:48:08,000 –> 00:48:10,760
from you in heaven.
So, So come in like manner as

750
00:48:10,760 –> 00:48:14,240
you see him go in heaven.
And then they returned unto

751
00:48:14,240 –> 00:48:16,680
Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet.

752
00:48:16,760 –> 00:48:18,880
So we need to know those places,
brethren, sisters.

753
00:48:18,880 –> 00:48:21,400
And I lived for two years in
Bethany.

754
00:48:21,840 –> 00:48:24,960
I know the place.
It took me about 20 minutes

755
00:48:24,960 –> 00:48:28,640
every morning to walk from our
house, which is here all the way

756
00:48:28,640 –> 00:48:31,000
up the back of the Mount of
Olives until you come to the

757
00:48:31,000 –> 00:48:32,800
top.
You go down to Kidron Valley

758
00:48:32,800 –> 00:48:34,640
and.
Here I’ve worked and my wife’s

759
00:48:34,640 –> 00:48:37,800
Catherine as well, and that
journey’s printed on my mind

760
00:48:37,800 –> 00:48:40,800
because I’ve must have walked it
hundreds of times.

761
00:48:42,000 –> 00:48:46,000
So Ben insists we need to
prepare ourselves for the return

762
00:48:46,000 –> 00:48:49,400
of our Lord, because He will
come back to the Mount of Olives

763
00:48:50,200 –> 00:48:52,640
with Christ.
We have walked through the land,

764
00:48:53,000 –> 00:48:54,560
the length of it and the breadth
of it.

765
00:48:54,640 –> 00:48:57,800
We’ve been in Bethlehem and
witnessed God’s Providence in

766
00:48:57,800 –> 00:49:02,760
having prepared a birthplace for
His Son in his own inheritance.

767
00:49:03,280 –> 00:49:06,320
We’ve seen why God chose
Nazareth, that humble village in

768
00:49:06,320 –> 00:49:09,920
the north, far away from the
destructions of the world, as

769
00:49:09,920 –> 00:49:12,520
the best place for the education
of His Son.

770
00:49:13,680 –> 00:49:15,560
The woman of.
Samaria gave us hope for his

771
00:49:15,560 –> 00:49:19,600
Gentiles to be grafted into that
natural olive tree of Israel

772
00:49:19,840 –> 00:49:23,360
which was predicted by Jacob,
and he contemplated the place

773
00:49:23,360 –> 00:49:26,840
where Jesus was baptized and
Bethabara and reflected on the

774
00:49:26,840 –> 00:49:32,360
need to revisit her own baptism
time and time again as the Lord

775
00:49:32,360 –> 00:49:37,000
Jesus Christ did.
Now when we lie bed at night, so

776
00:49:37,000 –> 00:49:39,120
we have time to think for a
quiet moment.

777
00:49:39,680 –> 00:49:44,520
We could also be Hebrews if we
use the Scriptures in our mind.

778
00:49:44,520 –> 00:49:47,880
That was to help the scripture.
We can pass through the land on

779
00:49:47,880 –> 00:49:51,360
which Yahweh’s eyes are resting
continually.

780
00:49:52,080 –> 00:49:53,840
You could think of other
journeys in the Bible.

781
00:49:53,840 –> 00:49:57,560
The journey of Abraham is think
about the journey of the Exodus

782
00:49:57,560 –> 00:50:01,520
from Egypt, the journey of the
messenger in Revelation 2 and

783
00:50:01,520 –> 00:50:04,960
three visiting the seven
eccleses in Revelation.

784
00:50:05,360 –> 00:50:09,960
We also are on a long journey by
the sisters on a pilgrimage to

785
00:50:09,960 –> 00:50:14,760
Zion and we should often think
how are we going to get there?

786
00:50:14,760 –> 00:50:20,080
By God’s grace, Jeremiah says,
let Jerusalem come into your

787
00:50:20,080 –> 00:50:23,520
mind.
And Jacob spoke about his

788
00:50:23,680 –> 00:50:27,000
pilgrimage.
He counted every day of his

789
00:50:27,000 –> 00:50:30,160
life.
He said to Pharaoh, the days of

790
00:50:30,160 –> 00:50:34,400
the years of my pilgrimage are
130 years.

791
00:50:35,200 –> 00:50:38,800
And David wrote in the sounds
that thy statutes have been my

792
00:50:38,800 –> 00:50:41,720
songs in the House of my
pilgrimage.

793
00:50:42,160 –> 00:50:44,160
We are on a journey by the
sisters.

794
00:50:44,560 –> 00:50:47,240
In the Kingdom.
If I got grace, we’ll be able to

795
00:50:47,240 –> 00:50:50,240
serve and help the Lord Jesus
Christ as king and priest.

796
00:50:50,240 –> 00:50:53,840
It says in Jeremiah again in
those days and in that time says

797
00:50:53,840 –> 00:50:56,720
Yahweh, the children of Israel
shall come, they and the

798
00:50:56,720 –> 00:50:59,640
children of Judah together going
and weeping.

799
00:50:59,880 –> 00:51:03,080
They shall go and seek Yahweh
