Class 4 from this series was used in GCT Episode 297.

1
00:00:04,040 –> 00:00:05,800
Thank you, brother Harry, and
good morning brothers and

2
00:00:05,800 –> 00:00:10,400
sisters, young people and those
of you in the hall or online.

3
00:00:10,960 –> 00:00:14,840
Good morning.
Well, we try, don’t we generally

4
00:00:14,840 –> 00:00:17,120
to give an exitation from the
readings.

5
00:00:17,120 –> 00:00:20,080
And I was thinking, well, you
know, we’ve got this series that

6
00:00:20,080 –> 00:00:22,400
we’re trying to work through
this weekend on the judges.

7
00:00:22,600 –> 00:00:25,000
So I did feel.
Exceptionally well blessed when

8
00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:29,480
the readings were Psalm 110 and
2nd Corinthians 4, which I think

9
00:00:29,480 –> 00:00:33,200
we’re going to be able to tie in
to the character of Gideon and

10
00:00:33,200 –> 00:00:36,120
to that story.
I would like you to turn first

11
00:00:36,120 –> 00:00:41,920
please to Judges chapter 6 and I
wonder if if you VE ever noticed

12
00:00:41,920 –> 00:00:46,280
I haven T.
Until recently, that before.

13
00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:50,280
Gideon there SA prophet and and
if I asked you the name of the

14
00:00:50,280 –> 00:00:52,760
prophet, none of you would know
because none of us do know.

15
00:00:53,240 –> 00:00:56,360
So so just jump to verse seven
of Judges chapter. 6.

16
00:00:56,840 –> 00:00:59,200
Where we read that it came to
pass when the children of Israel

17
00:00:59,200 –> 00:01:02,640
cried to the Lord because the
Midianites, the Lord sent a

18
00:01:02,640 –> 00:01:07,000
prophet, and the end of the
record of that prophet is verse

19
00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:10,560
10.
And so a prophet is.

20
00:01:10,560 –> 00:01:13,840
Sent before.
Gideon who we come.

21
00:01:13,840 –> 00:01:16,520
Across in verse 11.
And.

22
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:19,840
Immediately and in our studies
this weekend, we VE been trying

23
00:01:19,840 –> 00:01:23,000
to unpick.
What it is that the judges

24
00:01:23,000 –> 00:01:24,920
teach?
Us about the work of the Lord

25
00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:30,240
Jesus, both at his first coming.
And his return.

26
00:01:31,880 –> 00:01:36,160
And a prophet going before well,
we think Don T we immediately

27
00:01:36,160 –> 00:01:38,640
off and I could ask you and if
perhaps inappropriate in an

28
00:01:38,640 –> 00:01:39,880
exhortation, so I won.
T.

29
00:01:40,720 –> 00:01:43,120
But all of your minds are at
John the Baptist, aren T they?

30
00:01:44,440 –> 00:01:47,600
And if I said to you what?
About the time of the end, Well,

31
00:01:47,600 –> 00:01:50,480
who is the prophet that S going
to go before the Lord Jesus at

32
00:01:50,480 –> 00:01:54,520
the time of the end and I can
see all of your minds are at

33
00:01:54,520 –> 00:01:57,760
Elijah.
I’d like you to keep a marker,

34
00:01:58,120 –> 00:02:03,120
but will you come to John
Chapter one where we read of

35
00:02:03,560 –> 00:02:10,960
John the Baptist coming onto the
scene and the elders, the Jewish

36
00:02:10,960 –> 00:02:13,680
elders?
Are challenged.

37
00:02:13,680 –> 00:02:19,520
By John the Baptist and they ask
him, who are you John one verse

38
00:02:19,520 –> 00:02:23,320
22 they said to him, who are you
that we may give us answer to

39
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:24,920
them that sent.
Us what?

40
00:02:24,920 –> 00:02:28,280
Says thou of thyself and he.
Answers to them.

41
00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:31,200
I am the.
Voice.

42
00:02:32,120 –> 00:02:36,720
At no point does he say I am
John the Baptist.

43
00:02:36,920 –> 00:02:38,880
Well, have you still got your
marker in Judges?

44
00:02:39,240 –> 00:02:42,880
What do you read at the end of?
Judges 6 and Verse. 10 Regarding

45
00:02:42,880 –> 00:02:46,960
that unnamed prophet.
He is well, he S just a.

46
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:50,800
Voice they VE got obeyed.
God S voice.

47
00:02:51,600 –> 00:02:55,840
He says, I, John the Baptist,
back in John one says I am the

48
00:02:55,840 –> 00:03:01,640
voice of one crying in the
wilderness makes straight the

49
00:03:01,640 –> 00:03:04,480
way of the Lord, as said the
prophet Isaiah.

50
00:03:04,800 –> 00:03:07,960
And so he.
Quotes doesn T he from Isaiah

51
00:03:07,960 –> 00:03:13,080
chapter 40 and you remember that
in Isaiah 40 the.

52
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:17,000
Prophet, who is the?
Voice of one crying in the

53
00:03:17,000 –> 00:03:22,120
wilderness, preparing the way of
the Lord, that prophet, the

54
00:03:22,120 –> 00:03:29,800
great shout of that.
Prophet is all flesh is grass.

55
00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:35,560
There’s the flower of the field,
the only thing.

56
00:03:35,640 –> 00:03:40,520
The Prophet goes on to explain.
That will last forever, is the

57
00:03:40,520 –> 00:03:43,920
word we’ve.
Seen in our studies this.

58
00:03:43,920 –> 00:03:45,600
Weekend.
The significance?

59
00:03:45,600 –> 00:03:48,320
Of the word all.
Flesh.

60
00:03:48,360 –> 00:03:51,480
Is grass, the prophet says in
Isaiah 14.

61
00:03:51,960 –> 00:03:55,840
But the word of the Lord endures
forever now.

62
00:03:57,120 –> 00:03:59,200
The.
Reason John the Baptist is sent

63
00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:03,600
is to repair the way of the Lord
and so when in John chapter one

64
00:04:03,600 –> 00:04:06,280
now.
We see the Lord Jesus Christ.

65
00:04:06,480 –> 00:04:07,720
Come on to the.
Sea.

66
00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:12,880
John.
Is going to exit and so we see.

67
00:04:12,880 –> 00:04:16,920
Don’t we in verse 29 that where
John is baptising?

68
00:04:17,480 –> 00:04:23,120
He sees Jesus coming.
To him and says, Behold the Lamb

69
00:04:23,120 –> 00:04:28,280
of God, behold the Lamb of God.
And so John’s.

70
00:04:29,720 –> 00:04:33,800
Key message to the world is to
tell everyone.

71
00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:38,640
All flesh is grass, the only
thing that will last.

72
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:43,040
Is the.
Word of God verse 14 of John one

73
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:46,320
that is the Lord Jesus.
Christ.

74
00:04:46,680 –> 00:04:50,000
The one who’s been made flesh to
dwell among us you’re going to

75
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:53,720
behold.
His glory and he introduces.

76
00:04:53,720 –> 00:04:58,880
Him now to the world, behold the
Lamb of God.

77
00:05:00,880 –> 00:05:05,560
Now, why is that so significant
in relation to the story of

78
00:05:05,560 –> 00:05:07,680
Gideon?
And the story of.

79
00:05:07,680 –> 00:05:09,920
Gideon that you could.
Do a whole Bible school on.

80
00:05:09,920 –> 00:05:12,480
So we’re going to have to do
some jumping and I apologise for

81
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:14,800
that, but you’ll be thrilled to
know that I’m going to try and

82
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:18,480
behave this morning in terms of
time I want you to come back to.

83
00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:21,760
Judges, Chapter 6.
And I want.

84
00:05:21,760 –> 00:05:23,480
You to just.
Cast your eye.

85
00:05:24,360 –> 00:05:25,840
And I’ll.
Give you a clue, Perhaps go

86
00:05:25,840 –> 00:05:28,200
towards the end of the chapter.
See if you.

87
00:05:28,240 –> 00:05:39,650
Can find a lamb?
Did you find a lamb well?

88
00:05:40,930 –> 00:05:43,730
It’s not all that easy, is it?
But I.

89
00:05:43,730 –> 00:05:46,650
Suspect that most of you a
penny.

90
00:05:46,650 –> 00:05:50,890
Is dropping because actually.
We find a.

91
00:05:50,890 –> 00:05:54,090
Fleece, don’t we?
How do you get a fleece?

92
00:05:54,210 –> 00:05:55,690
Is that what you’ve got?
Is that what you’ve got?

93
00:05:56,490 –> 00:06:04,120
How do we get that fleece?
Well, Allah has perhaps had to

94
00:06:04,120 –> 00:06:11,800
be sacrificed to have a fleece.
And as soon as you get this, I

95
00:06:11,800 –> 00:06:13,200
find.
What I’m about to tell you now.

96
00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:19,160
Spine tingling because.
Up until really recently, I

97
00:06:19,160 –> 00:06:20,960
thought the story.
Of the fleece.

98
00:06:21,160 –> 00:06:24,080
When it was simply an
extraordinary miracle.

99
00:06:24,760 –> 00:06:28,760
That gave Gideon assurance.
Of the fact that God was with

100
00:06:28,760 –> 00:06:32,560
him.
Well, it is that, but it S

101
00:06:32,560 –> 00:06:37,880
altogether marvellous because
look carefully if we.

102
00:06:37,880 –> 00:06:39,720
Apply the principle here that
the.

103
00:06:39,720 –> 00:06:43,400
Lamb The.
Fleece is a lamb, and that the

104
00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:46,000
lamb is pointing forward to the
Lord.

105
00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:49,680
Jesus Christ Let S read verse
36.

106
00:06:49,680 –> 00:06:52,400
Gideon said to God, if, if you
will save Israel by my.

107
00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:55,480
Hand, as you said.
Behold, I LL put a fleece of

108
00:06:55,480 –> 00:07:00,440
wool on the floor, and if the
dew be on the fleece only, and

109
00:07:00,440 –> 00:07:03,600
if it be dry upon all the earth
beside, then shall I know that

110
00:07:03,600 –> 00:07:06,080
you’ll save Israel by my hand,
as you’ve said.

111
00:07:06,640 –> 00:07:10,360
Now, first of all, let’s just
pick out a couple.

112
00:07:10,360 –> 00:07:14,080
Of words here the fleece.
Well, I’m sure that you’ve

113
00:07:14,080 –> 00:07:17,240
already made a note, and Brother
Steve has already pointed out

114
00:07:17,240 –> 00:07:18,400
the fact that I can’t help
myself.

115
00:07:18,400 –> 00:07:20,480
Can I say get your pencil out?
But all the same, I’m going to

116
00:07:20,480 –> 00:07:22,960
tell you again.
Look next to the word fleece.

117
00:07:23,080 –> 00:07:25,720
Put John 129.
It’s the lamb.

118
00:07:26,360 –> 00:07:36,040
OK, the fleece is of wool.
Well, there are two references

119
00:07:36,040 –> 00:07:37,000
I’m going to give you.
I’m going.

120
00:07:37,320 –> 00:07:40,720
To suggest that you make a note
of for the wool, I’ll tell you

121
00:07:40,720 –> 00:07:41,600
them and then we’ll look at
them.

122
00:07:42,040 –> 00:07:50,240
Isaiah one, verse 18 and
Revelation one and verse 14.

123
00:07:51,240 –> 00:07:53,400
So I’m going to turn there.
You might want to make a note

124
00:07:53,480 –> 00:07:58,080
Isaiah 1 and verse 18.
What do we read about the wool?

125
00:07:58,440 –> 00:08:01,680
Come now, Isaiah 118.
Let S reason.

126
00:08:01,680 –> 00:08:04,480
Together, saith the Lord, though
your sins.

127
00:08:04,480 –> 00:08:09,080
Be a scarlet they.
Shall be white as snow.

128
00:08:09,200 –> 00:08:11,480
Though they be.
Red like Crimson, they.

129
00:08:11,480 –> 00:08:18,200
Shall be as wool, so the wool is
going to somehow.

130
00:08:18,200 –> 00:08:23,560
Point forward to the idea.
Of sin being forgiven.

131
00:08:25,160 –> 00:08:30,760
Ayes I 118 we give you the other
one Revelation chapter one.

132
00:08:31,640 –> 00:08:35,440
Now we turned here yesterday,
young people, because in

133
00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:40,760
Revelation chapter one we saw
didn T we the the multitudinous

134
00:08:40,760 –> 00:08:45,160
Christ or the one man or the
rainbowed Angel, and we saw didn

135
00:08:45,160 –> 00:08:48,840
T we in verse 16 the sharp 2
edged sword coming out of his

136
00:08:48,840 –> 00:08:51,960
mouth.
But this picture of this

137
00:08:51,960 –> 00:08:58,840
immortal man of us as Saints,
well look verse 14.

138
00:09:00,080 –> 00:09:03,080
His head and his hair were
white.

139
00:09:03,280 –> 00:09:08,280
Like wool as white.
As snow well.

140
00:09:08,280 –> 00:09:12,880
We know immediately from Isaiah
118 that Speaking of the fact.

141
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:16,840
Sin has been dealt with, that’s
why this.

142
00:09:16,840 –> 00:09:21,600
Is an immortal man OK?
Come back to judges. 6.

143
00:09:22,560 –> 00:09:28,080
To keep moving with our clues
and our reading today or one of

144
00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:33,480
our readings is Psalm 110, and
we looked at some length

145
00:09:33,480 –> 00:09:36,880
yesterday at Psalm 100.
And 10 I want.

146
00:09:36,880 –> 00:09:38,160
You to turn.
There for this.

147
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:40,240
If nothing else, for our
brothers and sisters who are

148
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:43,120
joining us this morning because
in Psalm 100.

149
00:09:43,120 –> 00:09:46,240
And 10 we read.
This this Kingdom Psalm.

150
00:09:48,160 –> 00:09:52,600
And we read.
Thy people will be willing in

151
00:09:52,600 –> 00:09:56,080
the day of thy power, in the
beauties of holiness from the

152
00:09:56,080 –> 00:10:01,480
womb of the morning.
Thou hast the Jew.

153
00:10:02,160 –> 00:10:04,800
Of thy.
Youth from the.

154
00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:07,600
Womb of the morning.
The womb.

155
00:10:08,880 –> 00:10:12,280
This is about birth, isn’t it?
The womb.

156
00:10:12,280 –> 00:10:16,840
Of the morning.
Thou hast the Jew of thy youth.

157
00:10:16,960 –> 00:10:19,560
What is this metaphor?
Getting at the.

158
00:10:19,560 –> 00:10:23,440
Womb of the Morning.
The Jew of thy thy youth.

159
00:10:24,920 –> 00:10:31,800
Well, when is our youth?
Going to be renewed at the

160
00:10:31,800 –> 00:10:36,520
resurrection.
Come on, come to Isaiah 26 and

161
00:10:36,520 –> 00:10:45,160
verse 19.
Isaiah 26.

162
00:10:45,160 –> 00:10:51,400
And verse 19 thy dead men shall
live now if that S not a clue,

163
00:10:51,400 –> 00:10:55,560
nothing is what are we talking
about in Isaiah 2619, the

164
00:10:55,560 –> 00:10:58,160
resurrection all right, I’m sure
you VE made a note already.

165
00:10:58,280 –> 00:11:01,520
If you haven T put a note next
to verse 19 the resurrection,

166
00:11:02,280 –> 00:11:04,360
thy dead men shall.
Live.

167
00:11:04,840 –> 00:11:08,040
Together with my dead body shall
they arise.

168
00:11:08,160 –> 00:11:12,360
This is resurrection.
Language ISN T it Awake and see

169
00:11:13,040 –> 00:11:15,760
ye that.
Dwell in dust for thy.

170
00:11:16,120 –> 00:11:22,160
Jew is thus the Jew of herbs and
the earth.

171
00:11:22,400 –> 00:11:25,480
Shall cast out the.
Dead.

172
00:11:27,080 –> 00:11:33,640
So the Jew is a symbol of the
resurrection.

173
00:11:34,840 –> 00:11:39,640
Psalm 110, verse three.
Isaiah 26, verse 19.

174
00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:44,400
The Jew in Scripture is the
symbol.

175
00:11:44,960 –> 00:11:49,520
Of the resurrection.
Now I want you to keep a marker

176
00:11:49,560 –> 00:11:54,080
in Isaiah 2619, or at least
remember this phrase.

177
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:56,200
As the Jew of.
Herbs.

178
00:11:56,200 –> 00:12:00,640
The Earth.
That word Earth is elsewhere,

179
00:12:00,640 –> 00:12:02,320
translated.
We’ll get to it in a minute in

180
00:12:02,320 –> 00:12:04,920
Judges 6.
Ground it’s the same.

181
00:12:04,920 –> 00:12:07,960
Hebrew word we’re going to see.
In Judges 6 ground.

182
00:12:08,360 –> 00:12:10,760
So you could read.
The ground.

183
00:12:10,760 –> 00:12:14,320
Shall cast out the dead come
back.

184
00:12:14,320 –> 00:12:22,280
To Judges Chapter 6 please.
So with these types.

185
00:12:22,280 –> 00:12:26,720
Echoing in our mind, Let S look
again at verse 37.

186
00:12:27,720 –> 00:12:31,120
I will put a fleece of wool on
the floor.

187
00:12:31,440 –> 00:12:33,600
Who is the?
Fleece of wool pointing.

188
00:12:33,600 –> 00:12:37,880
To who?
Is the Lamb of God the Lord?

189
00:12:37,880 –> 00:12:43,480
Jesus Christ and if the Jew be.
On the fleece only the.

190
00:12:43,640 –> 00:12:47,440
Jew is speaking about the
resurrection.

191
00:12:49,640 –> 00:12:56,280
And if it be dry on the earth or
on the ground, then shall I know

192
00:12:56,280 –> 00:12:58,200
that you LL save Israel by my
hand.

193
00:12:58,200 –> 00:13:03,760
As you VE spoken, so it S
speaking first.

194
00:13:05,440 –> 00:13:09,120
Of the resurrection.
Of the Lord Jesus Christ.

195
00:13:11,560 –> 00:13:15,400
But then Gideon says.
I hope you don’t.

196
00:13:16,280 –> 00:13:17,600
Could.
I have another sign.

197
00:13:18,760 –> 00:13:26,240
This time could the Jew just.
Be on the ground, but not on the

198
00:13:26,240 –> 00:13:31,960
fleece.
Isaiah 26 Thy.

199
00:13:31,960 –> 00:13:35,400
Dead.
Men shall live together.

200
00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:39,000
Thy Jews is the Jew.
Of herbs and the earth the

201
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:48,440
ground will cast out the dead.
So now look Judges 6 verse 39.

202
00:13:49,680 –> 00:13:52,880
It was so he rose up early in
the morning, or verse 39 rather,

203
00:13:53,160 –> 00:13:55,280
Gideon said to God, let not
thine anger.

204
00:13:55,280 –> 00:13:58,240
Be hot against me and I will.
Speak with this once, let me

205
00:13:58,240 –> 00:14:01,200
prove, I beseech thee, but this
once with the fleece, let it now

206
00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:06,560
be dry on the fleece, but on all
the ground, let there be due.

207
00:14:08,360 –> 00:14:11,000
Now here is the clincher
reference.

208
00:14:12,680 –> 00:14:15,000
I said to the children this week
when we were doing the readings,

209
00:14:15,280 –> 00:14:17,800
and I won T get them to call it
out, but they should be able to

210
00:14:17,800 –> 00:14:19,320
tell you.
You can ask them afterwards.

211
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:24,400
What is First Corinthians 15
about And all of us should know,

212
00:14:24,400 –> 00:14:27,480
shouldn’t we, that when we say
First Corinthians 15, we know

213
00:14:28,000 –> 00:14:30,440
the resurrection.
So of course, when we’re looking

214
00:14:30,440 –> 00:14:33,880
at the resurrection, we go to
1st Corinthians 15 and we’re

215
00:14:33,880 –> 00:14:37,840
told the order of events of the
resurrection in First

216
00:14:37,840 –> 00:14:47,280
Corinthians 15, verse 20.
Do you know for time?

217
00:14:47,280 –> 00:14:49,200
I’m going to say verse. 23
straight away.

218
00:14:50,360 –> 00:14:54,680
Each man in his own order,
Christ the.

219
00:14:54,680 –> 00:14:57,680
First fruits.
Where was the Jew first?

220
00:14:58,040 –> 00:15:02,840
The Jew was only.
On the fleece.

221
00:15:05,560 –> 00:15:08,000
Afterward they that.
Are.

222
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:13,200
Christs at his coming, the Jew
in the second.

223
00:15:13,200 –> 00:15:14,600
Miracle.
Was.

224
00:15:14,840 –> 00:15:20,240
Only on.
The ground well.

225
00:15:21,360 –> 00:15:25,240
What an amazing sign.
Being given to Gideon.

226
00:15:26,160 –> 00:15:28,680
I don’t know if he understood.
It I’m.

227
00:15:28,680 –> 00:15:32,040
Sure, he’s a more spiritual man
than most of us, and he probably

228
00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:34,120
got it.
And could see that.

229
00:15:34,120 –> 00:15:38,280
Before he was going.
Into battle, he had nothing to

230
00:15:38,280 –> 00:15:40,960
worry about.
Now come that to.

231
00:15:40,960 –> 00:15:45,760
Judges 6.
Because when the final hair on

232
00:15:45,760 –> 00:15:50,200
the back of my neck stood up,
looking at that, I found myself

233
00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:54,080
thinking, well, I’ve got to look
at this more and, and look

234
00:15:54,080 –> 00:16:01,760
carefully now at verse 38,
because he rose up early on the

235
00:16:01,760 –> 00:16:03,760
Morrow.
Well, that’s resurrection

236
00:16:03,760 –> 00:16:06,520
language, isn’t it?
Rising up early on the Morrow.

237
00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:10,840
And he?
Thrust the fleece together and.

238
00:16:10,880 –> 00:16:14,920
Wringed.
The Jew out of the fleece.

239
00:16:15,080 –> 00:16:19,000
He wrote the Jew.
Out of the fleece, now in our.

240
00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:22,000
First readings at the moment
we’re in Leviticus, aren’t we?

241
00:16:23,520 –> 00:16:26,960
And in the sin offering, a note
to make next to the word ring

242
00:16:26,960 –> 00:16:31,240
here is Leviticus 5 verse nine.
I’m not going to turn there

243
00:16:31,240 –> 00:16:37,040
because of time, but with the
sin offering they wrung the

244
00:16:37,040 –> 00:16:40,000
blood out of the sin offering.
They.

245
00:16:40,560 –> 00:16:42,040
Wrung it out.
So imagine.

246
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:45,120
Gideon with this fleece, he’s.
Picked the fleece up and he’s

247
00:16:45,480 –> 00:16:51,560
ringing every last drop of water
to fill up this.

248
00:16:51,560 –> 00:16:58,320
Bowl full of water, but this
fleece is speaking to us.

249
00:16:58,760 –> 00:17:00,520
About the Lord Jesus.
Christ.

250
00:17:02,400 –> 00:17:04,040
And what was it?
That he did.

251
00:17:04,680 –> 00:17:10,240
Would he come to Philippians
Chapter 2 Keep your mark cover

252
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:11,920
come to philippians.
Chapter 2.

253
00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:22,839
The Lord Jesus.
We read in verse.

254
00:17:22,839 –> 00:17:29,680
Seven made himself.
Of no reputation and took upon

255
00:17:29,680 –> 00:17:34,960
him the form of a servant being
in the likeness of men.

256
00:17:34,960 –> 00:17:37,360
Now we reflected on aspects of
the atonement didn T we

257
00:17:37,360 –> 00:17:41,080
yesterday, particularly in the
likelihood but.

258
00:17:41,440 –> 00:17:43,520
This.
Captures what we looked at

259
00:17:43,520 –> 00:17:46,200
yesterday in terms of that.
Aspect of the Atonement.

260
00:17:46,320 –> 00:17:48,760
Being made in the likeness.
Of men.

261
00:17:49,560 –> 00:17:52,320
But I wanted to concentrate at
the beginning of that verse

262
00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:58,960
where the revised version.
Says he emptied himself.

263
00:18:00,520 –> 00:18:02,120
Take you on the form of a
servant.

264
00:18:02,520 –> 00:18:04,640
He emptied.
Himself.

265
00:18:05,000 –> 00:18:07,200
What did they do?
With that fleece, what did he

266
00:18:07,200 –> 00:18:09,600
do?
He wrung it out.

267
00:18:10,280 –> 00:18:14,360
Until the fleece was empty of
water.

268
00:18:14,480 –> 00:18:15,960
What did they do with the sin
offering?

269
00:18:16,160 –> 00:18:18,040
They.
Wrung it out.

270
00:18:18,640 –> 00:18:25,120
Until it was empty of blood.
And now I ask you the question.

271
00:18:27,120 –> 00:18:34,080
When the.
Lamb of God gave Himself as the

272
00:18:34,080 –> 00:18:39,040
sacrifice to deal with the
problem of our sin.

273
00:18:41,960 –> 00:18:45,880
When he hung.
On the cross, that’s where we

274
00:18:45,880 –> 00:18:52,720
see him emptied, empty himself.
Before we go.

275
00:18:52,720 –> 00:18:55,240
Back to the recording judges,
will you come?

276
00:18:55,240 –> 00:18:56,280
To the Gospel.
Of John.

277
00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:02,880
Chapter 19 we LL come back to
philippians two in a bit if we

278
00:19:02,880 –> 00:19:03,800
have.
Time so.

279
00:19:04,120 –> 00:19:13,400
Keep a marker in John 19.
The Lord Jesus has emptied

280
00:19:13,400 –> 00:19:18,480
himself.
He’s sacrificed himself.

281
00:19:21,040 –> 00:19:22,760
There’s just a fleece, as it
were.

282
00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:29,840
He’s died.
He’s fallen asleep just like

283
00:19:29,840 –> 00:19:33,400
that fleece.
The Lamb of God.

284
00:19:33,760 –> 00:19:41,800
Has emptied himself, and as he’s
emptied himself, the soldiers

285
00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:45,120
came.
And they broke the legs, didn?

286
00:19:45,120 –> 00:19:46,880
T they of.
Those who were crucified

287
00:19:46,880 –> 00:19:48,400
alongside the.
Lord Jesus.

288
00:19:49,200 –> 00:19:52,240
But when they got.
To the Lord Jesus it was so

289
00:19:52,240 –> 00:19:59,120
clear it was already dead, it
need to break.

290
00:19:59,120 –> 00:20:01,240
A bone of his.
This was the Lamb of God.

291
00:20:01,240 –> 00:20:04,840
This was the Passover lamb.
A bone would never be broken.

292
00:20:09,040 –> 00:20:12,200
So what they did?
Verse 34.

293
00:20:13,640 –> 00:20:16,280
One of the.
Soldiers with a spear pierced

294
00:20:16,280 –> 00:20:18,640
his side.
And forthwith.

295
00:20:18,880 –> 00:20:26,800
Came out blood and water.
The sin offering has been wrung

296
00:20:26,800 –> 00:20:29,280
out.
The fleece has been.

297
00:20:29,280 –> 00:20:35,880
Wrung out.
Why you and I might sit here

298
00:20:35,880 –> 00:20:41,240
this morning?
Knowing whatever we VE done.

299
00:20:41,240 –> 00:20:44,120
This week.
Whatever we VE done in our.

300
00:20:44,120 –> 00:20:49,000
Life our sin.
Can be dealt with and forgiven.

301
00:20:51,560 –> 00:20:56,640
What an extraordinary sign that
fleece was Forgive you.

302
00:20:58,120 –> 00:20:59,240
Will you come back to the
record?

303
00:20:59,240 –> 00:21:07,880
In Judges to judges.
Chapter 7 and you know the story

304
00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:11,040
very well and we re not going to
go into this story in any depth.

305
00:21:12,040 –> 00:21:18,520
You remember that many are
called but few are chosen that

306
00:21:18,520 –> 00:21:21,360
the number has to be whittled
down, doesn’t it of the

307
00:21:21,360 –> 00:21:23,240
faithful.
There’s a refining process.

308
00:21:23,240 –> 00:21:25,480
We’re not surprised.
We’ve seen the importance of a

309
00:21:25,480 –> 00:21:29,440
refining process that takes
place for those who are called

310
00:21:29,440 –> 00:21:31,760
out.
And, and, and we read then,

311
00:21:31,760 –> 00:21:35,800
don’t we, that the 300 men with
Gideon go.

312
00:21:36,240 –> 00:21:40,880
And he divided verse 16 of
Chapter 7, the 300 men into

313
00:21:40,880 –> 00:21:43,200
three companies.
And he put the trumpet in every

314
00:21:43,200 –> 00:21:46,320
man’s hand with empty pictures
and lamps within the pictures.

315
00:21:46,840 –> 00:21:49,080
And he said to them, look on me
and do likewise.

316
00:21:49,080 –> 00:21:53,680
And behold, I when I come to the
outside of the camp, you do what

317
00:21:53,680 –> 00:21:57,400
I do when I blow the trumpet, I,
and all that with me will blow

318
00:21:57,400 –> 00:21:59,120
the trumpet on every side of the
camp.

319
00:21:59,280 –> 00:22:02,800
And say the sword.
Of Yahweh and of Gideon.

320
00:22:03,640 –> 00:22:07,560
So what do they do?
Well, they do, exactly.

321
00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:13,360
As he says, they.
They stand there with the with

322
00:22:13,360 –> 00:22:16,800
their torches in the earthen
vessels.

323
00:22:18,080 –> 00:22:22,320
When the call comes, they break
the earthen vessels and they

324
00:22:22,320 –> 00:22:25,600
shout and cause chaos, don’t
they in the camp?

325
00:22:25,880 –> 00:22:27,640
The.
Sword of the Lord and the

326
00:22:27,640 –> 00:22:31,760
Gideon.
Now go to Isaiah chapter 10,

327
00:22:32,400 –> 00:22:36,720
because in Isaiah 10 we’re told
that when the latter day

328
00:22:36,720 –> 00:22:44,200
Assyrian will come to the land
of Israel.

329
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:49,040
So we’re talking now about Gog,
the king of the north, coming

330
00:22:49,040 –> 00:22:53,240
down against Israel.
He will be destroyed and we’re

331
00:22:53,240 –> 00:22:57,760
told.
In verse 26 that.

332
00:22:58,120 –> 00:22:59,880
The Lord of Hosts will stir.
Up a.

333
00:22:59,880 –> 00:23:02,760
Skirt for him, according to the
slaughter of.

334
00:23:02,760 –> 00:23:05,040
Midian.
At the Rock of Orel.

335
00:23:05,480 –> 00:23:07,960
So look at Imagine Judges
Chapter 7.

336
00:23:08,360 –> 00:23:10,400
So this.
Battle that.

337
00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:15,600
Gideon Fights is compared.
With shown in scripture to the

338
00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:17,720
time.
Of the end when.

339
00:23:18,360 –> 00:23:20,200
The Battle of Armageddon.
Takes place.

340
00:23:21,720 –> 00:23:23,080
It’s.
Going to be the same.

341
00:23:23,320 –> 00:23:26,040
Thing now I wonder.
What’s happening here?

342
00:23:26,320 –> 00:23:32,880
Will it come to Zechariah 14?
Zechariah Chapter 14.

343
00:23:36,440 –> 00:23:39,440
This is a chapter, isn’t it?
That’s an Armageddon chapter

344
00:23:40,280 –> 00:23:43,360
where we see the feet of the
Lord Jesus Christ and the

345
00:23:43,360 –> 00:23:46,680
rainbowed angels stand verse
four, upon the Mount of Olives,

346
00:23:47,280 –> 00:23:50,920
and the great earthquake goes
off and the earth is shattered

347
00:23:50,920 –> 00:23:54,120
as we currently know it.
We reflected yesterday, didn’t

348
00:23:54,120 –> 00:23:55,320
we, on the earthquake.
We’ve seen.

349
00:23:55,320 –> 00:24:01,160
In Turkey and Syria and the
awfulness of the destruction and

350
00:24:01,160 –> 00:24:04,040
realise it is as.
Nothing compared to when this

351
00:24:04,080 –> 00:24:06,040
earthquake goes.
Look what happens.

352
00:24:06,240 –> 00:24:09,160
The end of verse 4.
There shall be a very great.

353
00:24:09,280 –> 00:24:13,640
Valley the the earthquake just
going back a bit cleaves the the

354
00:24:13,640 –> 00:24:15,400
mountain towards the.
East.

355
00:24:15,720 –> 00:24:20,480
And the West and there will be a
very great valley and it will

356
00:24:20,480 –> 00:24:24,080
remove the mountain will remove
toward the north and toward the

357
00:24:24,080 –> 00:24:25,360
South.
So this is how.

358
00:24:25,360 –> 00:24:29,040
Enormous this earthquake is.
Not only does it open up to

359
00:24:29,040 –> 00:24:31,640
create a valley, east and West
half of the mountain goes N,

360
00:24:31,640 –> 00:24:34,840
half of it goes S.
We re told that when this

361
00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:37,360
earthquake happens.
It will create.

362
00:24:37,360 –> 00:24:40,640
Devastation in the earth like.
Never seen before.

363
00:24:43,080 –> 00:24:50,440
But you and I, we hope and pray.
Well, we we, we’re going to be

364
00:24:50,440 –> 00:24:51,680
as the Jew of.
The morning.

365
00:24:53,520 –> 00:24:58,280
We’re going to be as youth.
Having energy, we’ll be

366
00:24:58,280 –> 00:25:01,520
immortal.
And so has the mount of on his.

367
00:25:01,520 –> 00:25:05,040
Brakes.
And dust and rubble goes

368
00:25:05,040 –> 00:25:07,760
everywhere and.
At the slaughter of Gideon, do

369
00:25:07,880 –> 00:25:09,520
you remember?
That they fought against each

370
00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:11,520
other.
In Ezekiel 38 we re told that

371
00:25:11,520 –> 00:25:13,080
they start to fight against each
other.

372
00:25:14,320 –> 00:25:16,080
But what will we do?
Will we just stand there?

373
00:25:17,240 –> 00:25:19,200
No.
What will we do?

374
00:25:20,000 –> 00:25:26,240
Well verse the end of verse five
the Lord my God will come and

375
00:25:26,240 –> 00:25:28,560
all the Saints with you.
We re going to go and help.

376
00:25:28,560 –> 00:25:32,240
And save those.
Left in the city, it will come

377
00:25:32,240 –> 00:25:34,800
to pass in that day.
That the light.

378
00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:39,680
Shall not be clear nor dark.
And we ask ourselves well, what

379
00:25:39,680 –> 00:25:42,160
does that mean?
The light will not be clear nor

380
00:25:42,160 –> 00:25:44,640
dark.
Well, in my mind that I VE got

381
00:25:44,640 –> 00:25:47,240
an authorised version and a
revised version and the revised

382
00:25:47,240 –> 00:25:53,920
version margin says this.
So that phrase, the light shall

383
00:25:53,920 –> 00:25:58,320
not be clear nor dark.
It suggests that the Hebrew

384
00:25:58,320 –> 00:26:01,760
could.
Mean this there shall not.

385
00:26:01,760 –> 00:26:07,160
Be light the.
Bright ones shall.

386
00:26:07,160 –> 00:26:14,120
Contract themselves now.
Think of our story.

387
00:26:15,560 –> 00:26:18,280
What have they done?
With the lights.

388
00:26:19,240 –> 00:26:23,160
In the time.
Of Gideon, the lights are

389
00:26:23,440 –> 00:26:28,080
hidden.
The light is hidden, isn’t it?

390
00:26:28,680 –> 00:26:32,280
Until the call goes, there shall
not be light.

391
00:26:32,680 –> 00:26:38,600
The bright ones will hide the
light and then the call.

392
00:26:38,600 –> 00:26:40,840
Goes.
And what will we do?

393
00:26:41,400 –> 00:26:44,040
Well, I believe that we’ll go
in.

394
00:26:44,840 –> 00:26:53,240
We’ll go in to Jerusalem.
We come to Isaiah 30 for the

395
00:26:53,240 –> 00:26:55,920
people verse 19 that dwell in
Zion at Jerusalem.

396
00:26:55,920 –> 00:26:59,160
Thou shalt weep no more.
He LL be graciously at the voice

397
00:26:59,160 –> 00:27:01,040
of thy cry when he shall hear
it.

398
00:27:01,040 –> 00:27:03,760
You will answer thee and know
the Lord did give you the bread

399
00:27:03,760 –> 00:27:05,400
of adversity in the water
affliction.

400
00:27:05,600 –> 00:27:08,600
Yet shall not thy teachers be
removed in the corner anymore?

401
00:27:08,840 –> 00:27:11,280
Thy.
Eyes will see thy teachers, and

402
00:27:11,280 –> 00:27:13,240
your ears will hear a word
behind you saying.

403
00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:15,040
This is the way.
Walk.

404
00:27:15,040 –> 00:27:19,480
In it so we.
LL we re immortal, we walk?

405
00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:21,280
Through the dust.
And the rubber.

406
00:27:22,160 –> 00:27:26,200
As every wall collapses.
And we get into.

407
00:27:26,200 –> 00:27:30,120
Jerusalem And we say, hold my
hand, Come.

408
00:27:30,280 –> 00:27:32,840
This is the way.
Walking it, go to the left,

409
00:27:33,160 –> 00:27:34,040
left.
Right.

410
00:27:35,480 –> 00:27:38,400
We bring people out.
Just come up to chapter 40 of

411
00:27:38,400 –> 00:27:41,600
Isaiah.
What did the prophet call?

412
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:45,360
Well, Elijah has gone ahead of
the Lord Jesus.

413
00:27:45,360 –> 00:27:49,240
Christ, he was the.
Messenger that goes before and

414
00:27:49,240 –> 00:27:51,680
what was it that he called out
all?

415
00:27:51,680 –> 00:27:54,800
Flesh is grass.
That S what the Jews have got

416
00:27:54,800 –> 00:27:55,800
to.
Learn ISN T it?

417
00:27:56,560 –> 00:28:00,240
Inside.
Jerusalem, the grass Withers.

418
00:28:00,240 –> 00:28:01,720
Verse 8.
The flower.

419
00:28:01,720 –> 00:28:04,440
Fades, but the word of our God
shall stand forever.

420
00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:06,320
O Zion, that brings good
tidings.

421
00:28:06,480 –> 00:28:08,520
Get up into the high mountain.
Why?

422
00:28:08,760 –> 00:28:11,280
Zechariah 14 Half.
The city S been.

423
00:28:11,280 –> 00:28:13,280
Taken the high mountain.
Is.

424
00:28:13,280 –> 00:28:17,280
Zion, get up into Zion, O
Jerusalem, that brings good

425
00:28:17,280 –> 00:28:19,120
tidings.
Lift up your voice with

426
00:28:19,120 –> 00:28:20,200
strength.
Lift it up.

427
00:28:20,400 –> 00:28:22,480
Be not afraid.
Save the city of Judah.

428
00:28:22,680 –> 00:28:26,880
Behold your This Is Us now,
coming, going.

429
00:28:26,880 –> 00:28:28,760
To save the.
Tents of Judah getting.

430
00:28:28,760 –> 00:28:33,760
Into the city the inhabitants of
Jerusalem to save.

431
00:28:33,760 –> 00:28:36,680
Them as they look.
On the Lord Jesus Christ, and

432
00:28:36,680 –> 00:28:38,880
they realise that He S their
Saviour.

433
00:28:39,720 –> 00:28:42,680
The whole the Lord God will come
with.

434
00:28:42,680 –> 00:28:45,280
Strong hand his arm will.
Rule for him.

435
00:28:45,320 –> 00:28:47,440
His reward is with him and his
work before him.

436
00:28:48,440 –> 00:28:50,320
He shall feed his.
Flock like a.

437
00:28:50,320 –> 00:28:54,840
Shepherd he shall.
Gather the lambs in his arm and

438
00:28:54,840 –> 00:28:56,400
carry them.
In his bosom.

439
00:28:57,040 –> 00:28:59,200
And shall gently.
Lead those little with young.

440
00:28:59,240 –> 00:29:03,080
Isn’t that such a lovely?
Picture that you say.

441
00:29:03,080 –> 00:29:11,400
Listen, pass me to that.
Mum who’s broken and she’s got a

442
00:29:11,400 –> 00:29:13,360
baby in her arms.
You say I’ll.

443
00:29:13,360 –> 00:29:14,440
Hold your baby.
For you.

444
00:29:15,680 –> 00:29:19,200
I’ll take your little lamb.
Yeah, but I’ve got a I’ve got

445
00:29:19,200 –> 00:29:20,840
another little girl here.
And a little boy.

446
00:29:22,040 –> 00:29:24,920
I’m immortal.
I can carry as many.

447
00:29:24,920 –> 00:29:28,160
People as you want and you scoot
these.

448
00:29:28,360 –> 00:29:30,200
Lambs up in your.
Arms.

449
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:36,000
And as the rubble.
Falls and as the dust is so

450
00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:40,880
thick they can’t see you gently
leave those that are with young

451
00:29:40,880 –> 00:29:42,680
and you say.
Come on.

452
00:29:43,520 –> 00:29:46,680
Come on.
I’ll get you out of the city.

453
00:29:47,760 –> 00:29:54,240
It’s going to be OK.
What a privilege is ours,

454
00:29:54,880 –> 00:29:57,040
brothers and sisters, to be
there.

455
00:29:57,120 –> 00:30:08,990
Even after will he come finally?
It’s the Second Corinthians.

456
00:30:08,990 –> 00:30:17,840
Chapter 4.
You see for all of us today.

457
00:30:19,240 –> 00:30:21,000
Well, we’re trying to fight that
battle.

458
00:30:22,000 –> 00:30:24,120
We’re trying to.
Deal with the Midianites in our

459
00:30:24,120 –> 00:30:27,320
life.
But really?

460
00:30:27,600 –> 00:30:29,800
We’ve got this treasure.
What’s the treasure we’ve got?

461
00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:32,840
Well, it it was the torch on
fire.

462
00:30:35,200 –> 00:30:37,400
Some of you might have a marker
in Philippians 2.

463
00:30:37,400 –> 00:30:39,040
What are we told later on in
Philippians 2?

464
00:30:39,040 –> 00:30:40,280
We won’t go there because of
time.

465
00:30:40,680 –> 00:30:45,760
You’ve got to shine as lights in
this Dark World.

466
00:30:47,960 –> 00:30:49,600
Well, we’ve got.
This.

467
00:30:49,600 –> 00:30:53,120
Light.
It’s on your lap or your table.

468
00:30:56,200 –> 00:31:01,800
We’ve got it, it’s in US.
It is the sword.

469
00:31:01,800 –> 00:31:05,080
Of the Lord and of Gideon.
This is it.

470
00:31:05,480 –> 00:31:07,120
It’s the sword of.
Eard.

471
00:31:07,560 –> 00:31:11,720
It’s the water dropping out of
the clouds of Deborah and Beira.

472
00:31:11,800 –> 00:31:16,080
This is it.
It’s even the dew.

473
00:31:16,080 –> 00:31:18,840
Of the morning, Deuteronomy 32.
We won’t go there.

474
00:31:19,360 –> 00:31:24,120
This is it.
And it’s the light that’s

475
00:31:24,120 –> 00:31:27,560
shining.
But at the moment, well.

476
00:31:30,040 –> 00:31:34,000
This earth and vessel, it keeps
messing up.

477
00:31:35,360 –> 00:31:40,520
Day on day, week on week, I’ll
be thrilled of it if I get home

478
00:31:40,520 –> 00:31:43,240
this afternoon without an
argument taking place in our

479
00:31:43,240 –> 00:31:44,840
car.
Are we delighted?

480
00:31:44,840 –> 00:31:48,920
It’ll be the first ever.
And that’s just me and Beck.

481
00:31:48,920 –> 00:31:54,720
Not really.
Do you know we’ve got it in

482
00:31:54,720 –> 00:31:56,000
earthen vessels?
Do you see?

483
00:31:56,840 –> 00:31:59,520
We’re going to keep messing up,
that is.

484
00:31:59,520 –> 00:32:04,120
What we do, it’s the.
Problem of the Flesh in US.

485
00:32:05,760 –> 00:32:09,240
I gotta keep the light.
Shining and be so.

486
00:32:09,560 –> 00:32:11,880
Thankful for God who command
you.

487
00:32:11,880 –> 00:32:15,760
The light to shine out of
darkness has shined in our.

488
00:32:15,760 –> 00:32:19,280
Hearts.
To give the light of the

489
00:32:19,280 –> 00:32:22,160
knowledge of the glory of God in
the face.

490
00:32:22,600 –> 00:32:24,520
Of the Lord Jesus.
Christ, the one whom we are

491
00:32:24,520 –> 00:32:27,840
going to come to remember now.
We do have this treasure on

492
00:32:27,840 –> 00:32:33,640
earth and vessels.
Why, that the Excellency of the

493
00:32:33,640 –> 00:32:40,200
power may be of God, not of us.
So, so long.

494
00:32:40,240 –> 00:32:45,080
As in your life.
You say I’m so.

495
00:32:45,360 –> 00:32:48,360
Grateful.
To God, for those of us who.

496
00:32:48,360 –> 00:32:51,880
Take the emblems.
Now be so thankful.

497
00:32:52,360 –> 00:32:59,240
To God to provide the land.
Then he’ll deal.

498
00:33:00,320 –> 00:33:02,080
With the fact that we’re in.
Earthen vessels.

499
00:33:02,600 –> 00:33:04,320
He wants.
Us in an athem vessels.

500
00:33:04,880 –> 00:33:08,240
That we might never think that
anything.

501
00:33:08,520 –> 00:33:12,880
Is of our strength.
And so we can know.

502
00:33:14,120 –> 00:33:16,080
That he which raised.
Up the Lord.

503
00:33:16,160 –> 00:33:19,720
Jesus, this.
Ecclesia is thought today of

504
00:33:19,800 –> 00:33:23,240
sister.
Rose for she lives in the sure

505
00:33:23,240 –> 00:33:24,600
and.
Certain home of the

506
00:33:24,600 –> 00:33:27,480
Resurrection.
That fleece.

507
00:33:27,920 –> 00:33:31,920
He which raised up the Lord
Jesus shall raise up also by.

508
00:33:31,960 –> 00:33:34,360
Jesus.
And shall present us.

509
00:33:34,560 –> 00:33:38,520
With you and so as we.
Leave or as we.

510
00:33:38,840 –> 00:33:42,520
Take him shortly.
We reflect on our earth and.

511
00:33:42,520 –> 00:33:44,040
Vessel.
And we do.

512
00:33:44,040 –> 00:33:46,760
That and we look back at the
weak and there are things to say

513
00:33:46,760 –> 00:33:50,800
sorry for.
We should be encouraged.

514
00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:55,400
We need faith because thou our
outward.

515
00:33:55,400 –> 00:33:59,040
Man.
Perish yet the inward.

516
00:33:59,040 –> 00:34:01,760
Man, the light shining in the
earthen.

517
00:34:01,760 –> 00:34:05,880
Vessel, the sword of the Lord is
renewed.

518
00:34:06,320 –> 00:34:10,520
Day by day for our light.
Affliction.

519
00:34:11,679 –> 00:34:15,600
It’s just for a moment worketh
for us a.

520
00:34:15,600 –> 00:34:17,600
Far.
More exceeding and.

521
00:34:17,600 –> 00:34:21,639
Eternal weight of glory while we
look not at the things which

522
00:34:21,639 –> 00:34:23,719
are.
Seen but the things.

523
00:34:23,719 –> 00:34:26,800
Which are not seen.
The things which are seen in a

524
00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:31,360
temple, the things which are
Nazi, are returned.
