Class 3 from this series was used for GCT Episode 253.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,080 –> 00:00:07,680
\nOur second period speaker is
\nBrother Jim Harper. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,080 –> 00:00:11,680
\nHis general subject is the work
\nof the Holy Spirit in the New <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,680 –> 00:00:17,280
\nTestament, and today’s subtopic
\nis inseparable baptisms, water <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:33,400
\nand Spirit.
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters, we<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:33,480 –> 00:00:36,760
\nembark on this next study
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:42,400
\nAnd as always, I try to set some
\nfocus at the beginning and make <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:42,400 –> 00:00:47,080
\nsome attempt to to stay with it
\nquestions that will attempt to <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:47,120 –> 00:00:49,520
\naddress together in this
\nsession. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:49,520 –> 00:00:54,200
\nBrothers and sisters, first of
\nall, what are the Old Testament <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:57,440
\nprecedents for Holy Spirit?
\nBaptism. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:58,250 –> 00:01:03,810
\nAnd what can we learn from them?
\nAnd secondly, how are water <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:03,810 –> 00:01:07,210
\nbaptism and Holy Spirit baptism
\nrelated? <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:10,490 –> 00:01:14,490
\nAnd again, we’ll have a menu
\nwhich will more or less address <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:14,490 –> 00:01:18,730
\nthose two questions in order.
\nAnd first we’ll look at the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:18,730 –> 00:01:27,570
\nprecedents and principles, and I
\ndon’t know what. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:28,170 –> 00:01:32,930
\nYou have felt as you go through
\nthe daily readings by January <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:32,930 –> 00:01:37,010
\n2nd, we’re into Matthew chapters
\n3:00 and 4:00, and we are <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:37,010 –> 00:01:42,570
\nimmediately immediately set upon
\nby Holy Spirit baptism, and it <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:42,570 –> 00:01:46,050
\njust keeps coming at us through
\nour New Testament readings. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:46,330 –> 00:01:49,570
\nHoly Spirit baptism seems to
\nburst on the scene in New <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:49,570 –> 00:01:54,250
\nTestament times, and it stands
\nat the forefront of New <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:54,250 –> 00:01:58,540
\nTestament teaching.
\nYou go to Matthew 3. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:58,860 –> 00:02:02,100
\nI indeed baptize you with water.
\nUnder repentance, he will <\/p>\n
25
\n00:02:02,100 –> 00:02:06,660
\nbaptize you with the Holy Spirit
\nand fire Mark Chapter one. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:06,780 –> 00:02:09,979
\nI indeed baptize you with water.
\nHe will baptize you with the <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:09,979 –> 00:02:13,980
\nHoly Spirit.
\nLuke Chapter 3 I indeed baptize <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:13,980 –> 00:02:16,060
\nyou with water.
\nHe will baptize you with the <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:16,060 –> 00:02:20,860
\nHoly Spirit and fire John
\nChapter One, He who sent me to <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:20,860 –> 00:02:24,760
\nbaptize with water.
\nThis is he who baptizes with the<\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:24,760 –> 00:02:31,400
\nHoly Spirit, Acts chapter one.
\nYou have heard of me for John <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:34,720
\ntruly baptized with water, but
\nyou shall be baptized with the <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:34,720 –> 00:02:39,000
\nHoly Spirit not many days from
\nnow, brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:42,760
\nMatthew 3, Mark one, Luke 3,
\nJohn one, Acts 1A. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:42,760 –> 00:02:46,160
\nBible subject cannot get much
\nmore forefront than that. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:48,440 –> 00:02:51,320
\nIt simply cannot get much more
\nforefront than that. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:54,760
\nAnd that’s always been something
\nthat has struck me about this <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:54,760 –> 00:02:57,600
\nwhen we come to the New
\nTestament, because the question <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:57,600 –> 00:03:00,280
\nthat it that it raises in my
\nestimation is where does it come<\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:00,280 –> 00:03:04,080
\nfrom?
\nWhere does this concept come <\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:04,080 –> 00:03:06,280
\nfrom?
\nThe phrase baptized with the <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:06,280 –> 00:03:10,440
\nHoly Spirit is unprecedented as
\nfar as I can tell. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:10,440 –> 00:03:14,160
\nIn the Greek Septuagint, there’s
\nonly one place where the word <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:14,160 –> 00:03:16,920
\nbaptized as we find it in the
\nNew Testament is used. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:16,920 –> 00:03:19,760
\nIt’s Isaiah 21.
\nAnd we don’t need to go back <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:19,760 –> 00:03:22,000
\nthere now.
\nIt it hardly seems at first <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:24,240
\nglance to have a connection with
\nour subject. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:24,240 –> 00:03:26,160
\nIn fact, where does it come
\nfrom? <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:26,160 –> 00:03:28,960
\nIt’s unprecedented.
\nWhere do we find anything like <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:28,960 –> 00:03:33,440
\nit in the Old Testament?
\nYet John the Baptist preached to<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:33,440 –> 00:03:41,400
\nJews, and while some of the
\nthings that he he said may not <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:44,240
\nhave been comprehended, I don’t
\nbelieve anything he said, <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:44,240 –> 00:03:47,200
\nbrothers and sisters, was
\nincomprehensible. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:49,700 –> 00:03:52,900
\nHe preached to Jews.
\nThe apostles of Jesus, to whom <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:52,980 –> 00:03:55,540
\nJesus spoken.
\nActs One were Jews. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:55,740 –> 00:03:58,980
\nThe concept of Holy Spirit
\nbaptism has to be understandable<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:58,980 –> 00:04:04,900
\nin Jewish terms.
\nConsequently, my logic takes me <\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:04,900 –> 00:04:08,180
\nhere.
\nWe are compelled to find it, and<\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:08,180 –> 00:04:11,620
\nnot just find it, but to find it
\nwritten large in the Old <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:11,620 –> 00:04:14,620
\nTestament.
\nAnd so we go back to Numbers <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:14,620 –> 00:04:17,420
\nChapter 11, for example, and
\nyou’ll remember some of these. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:17,420 –> 00:04:19,579
\nAnd of course, you’ve probably
\nalready put some of these <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:19,579 –> 00:04:21,620
\ntogether in your own thinking,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:21,899 –> 00:04:25,780
\nBut Numbers Chapter 11.
\nSo Moses went out and told the <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:25,780 –> 00:04:29,020
\npeople the words of the Lord,
\nand he gathered the 70 men of <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:29,020 –> 00:04:31,260
\nthe elders of the people and
\nplaced them around the <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:31,260 –> 00:04:35,060
\nTabernacle.
\nThen the Lord came down in the <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:35,060 –> 00:04:38,860
\ncloud and spoke to him.
\nAnd took of the Spirit that was <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:38,860 –> 00:04:44,460
\nupon him, and placed the same
\nupon the 70 elders. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:44,900 –> 00:04:47,140
\nAnd it happened when the Spirit
\nrested upon them that they <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:47,140 –> 00:04:49,780
\nprophesied, although they never
\ndid so again. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:49,940 –> 00:04:52,220
\nBut just look at the highlighted
\nwords there, brothers and <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:52,220 –> 00:04:55,220
\nsisters, and I want you to think
\nabout it again for just a <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:55,220 –> 00:04:59,100
\nmoment.
\nWe sometimes say that the <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:59,100 –> 00:05:01,940
\napostles had the power to
\ntransfer the Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:01,940 –> 00:05:04,180
\nI’m not sure that’s good
\ntheology. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:05,150 –> 00:05:07,590
\nI’m not sure it’s good Biblical
\ntheology at least. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:07,710 –> 00:05:11,590
\nThere’s plenty of theology that
\nsays that if there’s any <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:11,590 –> 00:05:14,830
\nprinciple of transfer, it has to
\nhonor what I think we see here, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:14,830 –> 00:05:19,670
\nbrothers and sisters, the Lord
\ncame down in the cloud and spoke<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:19,670 –> 00:05:22,110
\nto him and took of the Spirit
\nthat was upon him and placed the<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:22,110 –> 00:05:26,230
\nsame upon the 70 elders will
\nperhaps come back to that just a<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:26,230 –> 00:05:30,390
\nbit more when we come to Acts 8
\nand the Samaritans and so forth.<\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:30,830 –> 00:05:34,050
\nJust keep in mind.
\nHe shall baptize you with the <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:34,050 –> 00:05:35,650
\nHoly Spirit when we come to the
\nNew Testament. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:35,770 –> 00:05:39,410
\nIt’s the Lord’s work, and it’s
\nthe Lord’s work here, whatever <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:39,410 –> 00:05:43,370
\nwe may understand of transfer
\nhappening here from Moses to the<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:43,450 –> 00:05:47,130
\nto the 70 elders.
\nAnd when this happened, the <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:47,130 –> 00:05:50,450
\nSpirit rested upon them.
\nThey prophesied, though they <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:50,450 –> 00:05:53,810
\nnever did so again.
\nAnd so there was a spirit gift <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:53,810 –> 00:05:58,050
\nof limited scope and duration.
\nAnd these 70 men, for a for a <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:58,050 –> 00:06:02,810
\ntime spoke for God, and bore
\nwitness to the fact that God was<\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:02,810 –> 00:06:06,650
\nnow going to work with them in
\nvarious capacities as they <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:06,650 –> 00:06:09,290
\njoined Moses in the judgments of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:09,290 –> 00:06:14,290
\nAnd then it goes on.
\nBut two men had remained in the <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:14,290 –> 00:06:17,050
\ncamp.
\nThe name of one was Eldad, and <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:17,050 –> 00:06:21,170
\nthe name of the other me, Dad,
\nand the spirit rested upon them.<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:21,640 –> 00:06:24,800
\nNow they were among those
\nlisted, but who had not gone out<\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:28,080
\nto the Tabernacle, yet they
\nprophesied in the camp. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:28,520 –> 00:06:32,080
\nSo Joshua the son of none.
\nMoses, assistant one of the <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:32,080 –> 00:06:36,320
\nchoice men, answered and said,
\nMy Lord Moses forbid them. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:37,360 –> 00:06:41,080
\nThen Moses said to him, Are you
\nzealous for my sake? <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:41,680 –> 00:06:46,360
\nOh that all the Lord’s people
\nwere prophets, and the Lord <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:46,360 –> 00:06:52,070
\nwould put his spirit upon them.
\nWhatever else, brothers and <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:52,070 –> 00:06:55,470
\nsisters, we just paused to
\nthink, what a, what a lovely man<\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:55,470 –> 00:06:59,310
\nof goodwill is, Moses.
\nWhat a lovely man of goodwill <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:59,310 –> 00:07:03,590
\ntoward his fellows.
\nYou know he’s not threatened by <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:03,590 –> 00:07:08,870
\nthe fact that God now blesses
\nthem, by the fact that they can <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:08,870 –> 00:07:11,790
\ndo some wonderful thing in the
\nname of the Lord. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:11,790 –> 00:07:16,860
\nHe’s not threatened by that.
\nHe is a man of goodwill toward <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:16,860 –> 00:07:22,060
\nhis fellows and and Moses prayer
\nis that the Lord would bless his<\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:22,060 –> 00:07:27,260
\npeople, that all were prophets,
\nall were prophets, and that the <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:27,260 –> 00:07:28,940
\nLord would have put his spirit
\nupon them. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:29,220 –> 00:07:35,060
\nThe prayer of Moses will not go
\nunanswered, but it was not yet <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:35,060 –> 00:07:38,580
\nthe time for all God’s people to
\nbe prophets and we say why? <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:39,700 –> 00:07:42,500
\nWell just keep in mind this is a
\nstiff necked people. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:42,660 –> 00:07:44,500
\nWe’ll return to that theme
\nlater. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:44,930 –> 00:07:48,210
\nThis is a stiff necked people,
\nand they grieve the Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:48,210 –> 00:07:52,130
\nthat worked amongst them, as
\nIsaiah 63 will tell us, and <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:52,650 –> 00:07:55,690
\nwe’ll come back to that.
\nBut right now we’re just looking<\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:55,690 –> 00:07:58,610
\nfor the concept of Holy Spirit
\nbaptism in the Old Testament, <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:58,610 –> 00:08:02,050
\nand we come to Isaiah 44.
\nYet here now, old Jacob, my <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:02,050 –> 00:08:04,650
\nservant, and Israel, whom I’ve
\nchosen. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:05,210 –> 00:08:09,450
\nThus says the Lord who made you,
\ninformed you from the womb, who <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:09,450 –> 00:08:13,560
\nwill help you.
\nFear not, oh Jacob, my servant. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:13,560 –> 00:08:18,600
\nAnd you, Gesherin, whom I’ve
\nchosen for I will pour water on <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:18,600 –> 00:08:24,960
\nhim.
\nWho’s thirsty, living water, <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:24,960 –> 00:08:30,440
\nBrothers and sisters, I will
\npour water on him who is thirsty<\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:31,080 –> 00:08:35,919
\nand floods on the dry ground.
\nI will pour my spirit on your <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:35,919 –> 00:08:39,840
\ndescendants and my blessing on
\nyour offspring. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:42,200 –> 00:08:49,880
\nWhen, when still Isaiah 44
\nsingle heavens. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:50,520 –> 00:08:55,440
\nFor the Lord has done it, shout
\nyou lower parts of the earth, <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:55,440 –> 00:08:59,880
\nbreak forth into singing you
\nmountains or forests and every <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:59,880 –> 00:09:02,800
\ntree in it.
\nFor the Lord has redeemed a <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:10,240
\nJacob and glorified himself in
\nIsrael, in Israel. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:12,010 –> 00:09:18,810
\nIsaiah 59 As for me, says the
\nLord, this is my covenant with <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:18,810 –> 00:09:22,210
\nthem, my spirit that is upon
\nyou. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:23,490 –> 00:09:27,690
\nAnd my words, which I have put
\nin your mouth, shall not depart <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:27,690 –> 00:09:32,970
\nfrom your mouth.
\nIncredible Brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:33,410 –> 00:09:40,710
\nno more trivial talk.
\nNo more chatter coming from the <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:40,710 –> 00:09:44,310
\nmouths of these people.
\nAnd I don’t say this to to be be<\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:44,310 –> 00:09:46,670
\nmeaning, demeaning brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:46,670 –> 00:09:53,750
\nI don’t say it that way, But we
\nthink of how trivial can be the <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:53,750 –> 00:09:58,150
\nwords of our mouths.
\nMy words which I have put in <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:58,150 –> 00:10:01,110
\nyour mouth shall not depart from
\nyour mouth, nor from the mouth <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:01,110 –> 00:10:04,270
\nof your descendants, nor from
\nthe mouth of your descendants to<\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:04,310 –> 00:10:08,010
\ndescendants.
\nSays the Lord from this time <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:08,010 –> 00:10:11,090
\nforevermore.
\nOh, that all the Lord’s people <\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:11,090 –> 00:10:15,210
\nwere prophets.
\nMoses was a man of vision, and <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:15,210 –> 00:10:19,370
\nthat vision resurfaces here.
\nIt’ll resurface in Joel. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:19,690 –> 00:10:22,730
\nIt’ll resurface in a in a
\nlimited way on the day of <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:22,730 –> 00:10:26,050
\nPentecost.
\nIt will yet resurface when all <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:26,050 –> 00:10:29,730
\nof God’s people are prophets and
\nhe’s poured his spirit upon <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:29,730 –> 00:10:32,690
\nthem.
\nWhen the Redeemer will come to <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:32,690 –> 00:10:36,890
\nZion, this chapter ends.
\nAnd to those who turn from <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:36,890 –> 00:10:39,370
\ntransgression.
\nAnd Jacob says the Lord, And it <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:39,370 –> 00:10:44,090
\ngoes on to say, Arise, shine,
\nFor your light has come, and the<\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:44,090 –> 00:10:48,650
\nglory of the Lord is risen upon
\nyou, is risen upon you. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:49,210 –> 00:10:53,250
\nAnd we were taken earlier this
\nweek to Matthew 13 verse 43. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:53,450 –> 00:10:57,610
\nThen shall the righteous shine
\nforth as the Son in the Kingdom <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:57,610 –> 00:11:00,370
\nof the Father.
\nThe glory of the Lord is risen <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:00,370 –> 00:11:03,160
\nupon you.
\nFor behold the darkness you’ll <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:03,160 –> 00:11:05,360
\ncover the earth, and deep
\ndarkness the people. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:05,480 –> 00:11:10,320
\nBut the Lord will arise over
\nyou, and his glory will be seen <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:10,360 –> 00:11:15,440
\nupon you.
\nEzekiel 36 I will put my spirit <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:15,440 –> 00:11:18,400
\nwithin you, and cause you to
\nwalk in my statutes, and you <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:18,400 –> 00:11:23,840
\nwill keep my judgments and do
\nthem when For I will take you <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:23,840 –> 00:11:26,720
\nfrom among the nations, gather
\nyou out of all countries, and <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:26,720 –> 00:11:29,820
\nbring it to your own land.
\nAnd we’re going to expand on <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:29,820 –> 00:11:34,060
\nthat concept in in a bit.
\nBrothers and sisters, Then you <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:34,060 –> 00:11:36,980
\nshall dwell in the land that I
\ngive to your fathers. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:37,180 –> 00:11:41,580
\nYou shall be my people, and I
\nwill be your God, which is a <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:41,580 –> 00:11:44,500
\nrefrain that repeats itself
\nagain and again through the <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:44,500 –> 00:11:48,420
\nprophets at last.
\nAt last they are his people, and<\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:48,420 –> 00:11:52,140
\nat last the one who reigns in
\nthe heavens is their God. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:53,100 –> 00:11:58,100
\nAnd these people are saved.
\nJoel too. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:58,680 –> 00:12:03,000
\nIt shall come to pass afterward,
\nthat I will pour out my spirit <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:05,520
\non all flesh.
\nYour sons and your daughter <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:05,520 –> 00:12:09,720
\nshall prophecy, oh, that all go.
\nThe Lord’s people were prophets.<\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:12,640 –> 00:12:15,400
\nYour old men shall dream dreams.
\nYour young men shall see <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:15,400 –> 00:12:18,400
\nvisions.
\nAnd also on my men’s servants, <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:18,640 –> 00:12:22,760
\nand on my maid servants.
\nI will pour out my spirit in <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:22,760 –> 00:12:26,600
\nthose days, and it shall come to
\npass. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:26,960 –> 00:12:30,240
\nThat whoever calls on the name
\nof the Lord shall be saved. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:30,920 –> 00:12:33,680
\nFor in Mount Zion, and in
\nJerusalem there shall be <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:33,680 –> 00:12:38,680
\ndeliverance, as the Lord has
\nsaid, among the remnant whom the<\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:38,680 –> 00:12:48,320
\nLord calls When when, and this
\nis bracketed in Joel, then the <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:52,000
\nLord will be zealous for his
\nland, and pity his people. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:53,120 –> 00:12:55,920
\nFor behold, in those days at
\nthat time. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:56,380 –> 00:13:00,060
\nWhen I bring the captives of
\nJudah and Jerusalem, when I <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:00,060 –> 00:13:05,460
\nbring them back, and we’ll
\nreturn to that theme of being <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:05,460 –> 00:13:12,420
\nbrought back momentarily, God’s
\nspirit will be poured out on all<\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:12,420 –> 00:13:16,980
\nflesh.
\nWhen Israel is restored to God <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:17,020 –> 00:13:21,060
\nand the land, they’re restored
\nto the land in some respects at <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:21,060 –> 00:13:23,540
\nthis time, brothers and sisters,
\nbut not to God. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:25,880 –> 00:13:28,360
\nGod’s spirit will be poured out
\nin all flesh when Israel is <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:28,360 –> 00:13:31,640
\nrestored to God in the land.
\nThese great events of Old <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:31,640 –> 00:13:36,120
\nTestament prophecy go together.
\nThe restoration of Israel and <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:36,120 –> 00:13:38,360
\nthe outpouring of God’s spirit
\non His people. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:38,360 –> 00:13:42,200
\nThey go together, and this is
\nthe background. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:42,200 –> 00:13:44,680
\nIt’s the backbone of Acts
\nchapter One. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:46,760 –> 00:13:51,000
\nThus the Old Testament prophets
\nspoke eloquently of the day when<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:51,000 –> 00:13:55,360
\nthe Redeemer would come to Zion.
\nGod would restore His people, <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:55,360 –> 00:13:58,600
\nIsrael, and pour out His spirit
\non them. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:05,680
\nThey would henceforth walk in
\nHis laws, speak His words, and <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:05,680 –> 00:14:10,040
\nbe His people.
\nHe would be their God. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:13,640 –> 00:14:20,760
\nPlease grasp these points, The
\nRedeemer. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:22,190 –> 00:14:28,350
\nIsrael’s restoration and Holy
\nSpirit baptism go together in <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:28,350 –> 00:14:31,990
\nthe saving message of the Old
\nTestament prophets. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:35,110 –> 00:14:40,270
\nEnter Acts One.
\nIt’s against this Old Testament <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:40,270 –> 00:14:44,710
\ntheme and and Luke, if you
\nhaven’t really delved into this.<\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:45,520 –> 00:14:48,240
\nLuke may have been a gentile
\nbrothers and sisters, but his <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:48,240 –> 00:14:52,240
\ntreatment of the Old Testament
\nis unbelievably magnificent. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:53,520 –> 00:14:57,760
\nHe builds Acts One, Acts 2, Acts
\n3 on the very themes we’ve just <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:57,760 –> 00:15:00,200
\nseen.
\nHis use of Old Testament <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:05,320
\nlanguages is incredible, and
\nit’s against this Old Testament <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:05,320 –> 00:15:08,360
\ntheme of Israel’s salvation that
\nLuke wrote the first few <\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:08,360 –> 00:15:11,730
\nchapters of the Book of Acts.
\nAnd thus, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:11,730 –> 00:15:15,250
\nit’s in keeping with the purpose
\nof God, with Israel, that the <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:15,250 –> 00:15:19,570
\nGreat Commission began amongst
\nthe Jews of Jerusalem on the day<\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:19,610 –> 00:15:22,730
\nof Pentecost, and in the days,
\nand the weeks and the months, <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:22,730 –> 00:15:30,690
\nand even the years, immediately
\nfollowing Acts 1 To his <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:30,690 –> 00:15:32,610
\napostles, they are the
\nantecedent. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:32,810 –> 00:15:39,640
\nThey are Luke’s focus.
\nAt least as far as the work of <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:39,640 –> 00:15:43,080
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ is
\nconcerned, through men the <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:43,080 –> 00:15:47,120
\nApostles are the focus.
\nHe also presented to them <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:47,120 –> 00:15:49,600
\nhimself alive.
\nAfter his suffering by many <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:54,160
\ninfallible proofs, being seen by
\nthem during 40 days, and <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:54,160 –> 00:15:56,960
\nSpeaking of the things
\npertaining to the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:56,960 –> 00:16:01,440
\nGod, he opened their
\nunderstanding of the Scriptures,<\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:01,440 –> 00:16:10,140
\nwe’re told from Luke 24.
\nIsrael’s redemption, Israel’s <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:10,140 –> 00:16:14,500
\nredemption.
\nBut then it goes on, and we <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:14,500 –> 00:16:18,020
\nsometimes leapfrog over these
\nverses to get to the question of<\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:18,020 –> 00:16:19,980
\nthe apostles.
\nLord, will you at this time <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:19,980 –> 00:16:23,660
\nrestore the Kingdom to Israel,
\nhaving seen from the earlier <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:23,660 –> 00:16:27,060
\nverses that he had spoken to
\nthem for 40 days concerning the <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:27,060 –> 00:16:29,940
\nKingdom of God?
\nBut we mustn’t miss this piece <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:29,940 –> 00:16:33,700
\nas well-being assembled together
\nwith them. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:34,720 –> 00:16:37,800
\nAnd now again the focus remains
\non the 12 For the moment he <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:41,160
\ncommanded them not to depart
\nfrom Jerusalem, but to wait for <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:41,160 –> 00:16:44,000
\nthe promise of the Father.
\nAnd that promise he’d been <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:47,720
\ntalking to them about.
\nThat promise goes back to Isaiah<\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:47,720 –> 00:16:52,600
\n44 or Isaiah 59, or Ezekiel 36,
\nor Joel to or even all the way <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:52,600 –> 00:16:55,720
\nback to the words of Moses.
\nWould God that all the Lord’s <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:55,720 –> 00:16:58,520
\npeople were prophets, and that
\nhe would put his spirit upon <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:58,520 –> 00:17:03,080
\nthem, but wait for the promise
\nof the Father, which he said, <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:03,200 –> 00:17:05,950
\nYou’ve heard from me?
\nPerhaps we’ve just got a little <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:05,950 –> 00:17:08,829
\nidea here of some of the Old
\nTestament background that he <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:08,829 –> 00:17:12,670
\nopened their understanding of.
\nFor John truly baptized with <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:12,670 –> 00:17:16,630
\nwater, but usually baptized with
\nthe Holy Spirit Not many days <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:16,630 –> 00:17:18,750
\nfrom now.
\nThese words are intimately <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:18,750 –> 00:17:21,710
\nrelated to the things he has
\nbeen saying to them about the <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:21,710 –> 00:17:26,990
\nKingdom of God, Israel’s
\nredemption. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:27,069 –> 00:17:30,910
\nSpirit poured out.
\nYou and I are apostles, and we <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:30,910 –> 00:17:32,910
\nlook at each other.
\nWe say this is it. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:34,830 –> 00:17:38,790
\nThis is it.
\nOr is it? <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:43,230 –> 00:17:45,190
\nImagine this.
\nBrothers, sisters, you and I are<\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:45,190 –> 00:17:48,910
\nJewish apostles of Jesus.
\nJesus, the Messiah, the Redeemer<\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:48,910 –> 00:17:51,950
\nof Israel, is alive from the
\ndead, alive eternally. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:52,790 –> 00:17:55,550
\nHe’s just taught us well
\nconcerning the Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:55,550 –> 00:17:58,510
\nWe’re well versed in the Old
\nTestament hope of Israel. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:58,930 –> 00:18:02,690
\nGod will restore His people and
\nput His Spirit in them. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:02,810 –> 00:18:08,570
\nStay in Jerusalem, and you will
\nreceive the promise of the <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:08,570 –> 00:18:10,610
\nFather of which I’ve spoken to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:11,890 –> 00:18:14,410
\nHe now tells us to remain in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:14,690 –> 00:18:18,130
\nWe will be baptized with the
\nHoly Spirit not many days from <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:18,130 –> 00:18:19,930
\nnow.
\nWhat’s the question? <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:20,930 –> 00:18:26,820
\nThat’s obvious, therefore.
\nThey get the sense as you read <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:26,820 –> 00:18:29,380
\nthis, brothers and sisters, that
\nas they listen to Jesus and they<\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:29,380 –> 00:18:30,900
\nheard these things coming
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:30,980 –> 00:18:34,380
\nAnd he said, now you remain not
\nmany days from now you’ll be <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:34,380 –> 00:18:36,220
\nbaptized with the Holy Spirit.
\nAnd they’re putting this <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:36,220 –> 00:18:38,060
\ntogether against the Old
\nTestament background. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:38,260 –> 00:18:41,260
\nAnd they go home and that they
\nwith each other and they talk <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:41,260 –> 00:18:45,380
\nabout it and they come back with
\nJesus when they come together. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:45,780 –> 00:18:52,340
\nThey asked him, saying, Lord,
\nwill you at this time restore <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:52,340 –> 00:19:00,390
\nthe Kingdom to Israel?
\nHoly Spirit, baptism and the <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:00,390 –> 00:19:03,670
\nrestoration of the Kingdom to
\nIsrael go together. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:04,110 –> 00:19:06,190
\nIt went together in the Old
\nTestament prophets. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:06,190 –> 00:19:10,510
\nIt goes together in Acts, and it
\ngoes together in the minds of <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:10,510 –> 00:19:13,430
\nthe apostles, and it goes
\ntogether in Acts chapter One. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:14,070 –> 00:19:18,510
\nWhen when will you at this time
\nrestore the Kingdom to Israel? <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:18,510 –> 00:19:22,550
\nYou know the answer.
\nIt’s not for you to know. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:26,030 –> 00:19:34,990
\nRasp, the impact of that
\nPentecost is not the fulfillment<\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:35,710 –> 00:19:44,790
\nof the promise.
\nIt is not for you to know when <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:47,670 –> 00:19:49,990
\nit is a fulfillment of the
\npromise. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:49,990 –> 00:19:52,350
\nIt is a fulfillment of the
\npromise. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:55,290 –> 00:20:02,810
\nIn a token sense for 12 it is
\nnot the fulfillment of the <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:02,810 –> 00:20:07,650
\npromise, the Kingdom, the Spirit
\nof God and all his people. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:07,650 –> 00:20:12,370
\nNo, not yet, not yet.
\nStop the presses. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:13,570 –> 00:20:15,930
\nAnd the presses have been
\nrunning for generations, and <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:15,930 –> 00:20:18,490
\nhundreds of books have been
\npublished on Pentecost and <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:18,490 –> 00:20:20,210
\nmillions of words have been
\nprinted. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:20,590 –> 00:20:24,670
\nAnd a tremendous theological.
\nSuper theological, yes, <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:24,870 –> 00:20:27,710
\ntheoretical too.
\nTheological superstructure has <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:27,710 –> 00:20:31,310
\nbeen built on that.
\nAnd Jesus is saying no, this is <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:31,310 –> 00:20:33,750
\nnot the time.
\nIt’s interesting, brothers and <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:33,750 –> 00:20:36,750
\nsisters and go back through the
\npages of the Chris Adelphian <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:36,750 –> 00:20:41,670
\nmagazine to the 19th century and
\nthere was a great debate that <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:41,670 –> 00:20:45,270
\nwas very often the theme of a
\nSunday evening lecture. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:45,270 –> 00:20:49,140
\nAmongst our brethren in in
\nBritain was Pentecost, the <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:49,180 –> 00:20:54,740
\nestablishment of the Kingdom of
\nGod and the the general Orthodox<\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:54,740 –> 00:20:58,540
\nposition was yes, it was
\nPentecost was the establishment <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:58,540 –> 00:21:00,940
\nof the Kingdom of God on earth.
\nAnd that Kingdom is the church <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:00,940 –> 00:21:04,020
\nand Christ began his reign on
\nthe heavenly throne of David, <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:04,020 –> 00:21:07,260
\netcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
\nAnd our brethren in the 19th <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:07,260 –> 00:21:10,780
\ncentury constantly were refuting
\nthat idea. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:12,540 –> 00:21:16,660
\nAnd well, they ought to have,
\nbecause it wasn’t yet. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:18,030 –> 00:21:22,270
\nStop those presses.
\nAll Holy Spirit, baptisms and <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:22,270 –> 00:21:25,630
\nNew Testament times, beginning
\nwith the day of Pentecost, must <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:25,630 –> 00:21:28,430
\nnow be understood as incipient
\nevents. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:28,590 –> 00:21:30,910
\nIs this the Time Lord?
\nNo, it isn’t. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:31,070 –> 00:21:33,430
\nYou’re going to be baptized not
\nmany days hence. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:33,430 –> 00:21:36,830
\nAnd so they were.
\nAnd so that grand token, that <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:36,830 –> 00:21:41,750
\nempowering token, that that
\nmoved explosively, started the <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:41,790 –> 00:21:44,030
\nthe, the, the Great Commission
\nin Jerusalem, brothers and <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:44,030 –> 00:21:46,030
\nsisters.
\nBut that was not it. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:47,010 –> 00:21:51,970
\nIt simply was not it.
\nAll Holy Spirit baptisms and New<\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:51,970 –> 00:21:55,210
\nTestament times must now be
\nunderstood as incipient events. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:55,490 –> 00:21:58,850
\nThe final great baptism of the
\nHoly Spirit that Messiah will <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:58,850 –> 00:22:03,650
\nadminister in the name of God
\nremains for the end times, <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:03,650 –> 00:22:06,970
\nrestoration of Israel and the
\nestablishment of the Kingdom of <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:06,970 –> 00:22:08,770
\nGod on earth.
\nAnd that was not the day of <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:08,770 –> 00:22:12,860
\nPentecost, though Orthodox
\ntheology may have emphasized <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:12,860 –> 00:22:16,100
\nthat a great deal more perhaps
\nthan even now, at the end of the<\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:16,100 –> 00:22:22,740
\n19th century, these times and
\nseasons, the Father holds in his<\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:22,740 –> 00:22:27,820
\nown power, and we know where
\nJesus is, is taking us. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:27,940 –> 00:22:31,460
\nHe’s taking us back to Daniel
\nChapter 2, and the passages are <\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:31,460 –> 00:22:32,980
\nprinted there in your notes for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:34,180 –> 00:22:36,420
\nAnd we know what Daniel Two is
\nabout. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:36,830 –> 00:22:40,230
\nAnd we know something about when
\nthe Kingdom will be established.<\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:40,430 –> 00:22:45,190
\nIn the days of the feet of of
\nmixed myrie, clay and iron. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:45,390 –> 00:22:49,390
\nIn the days of these kings, the
\nGod of heaven shall set up a <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:49,390 –> 00:22:51,510
\nKingdom which shall never be
\ndestroyed. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:51,670 –> 00:22:54,550
\nIt shall not be left to other
\npeople, but it shall break and <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:54,550 –> 00:22:57,990
\nconsume all these kingdoms, and
\nit shall stand forever. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:59,990 –> 00:23:03,830
\nThat’s when this will be.
\nAnd these are the times and the <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:03,830 –> 00:23:06,150
\nseasons which the fathers put in
\nhis own power. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:06,310 –> 00:23:09,070
\nSo, brothers and sisters, what
\nhad to come first? <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:11,110 –> 00:23:13,270
\nHere’s the structure of acts
\nagain. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:13,470 –> 00:23:17,070
\nWhat had to come first?
\nWhat has to come first? <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:19,630 –> 00:23:23,990
\nWhat is the fundamental Old
\nTestament principle on which the<\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:23,990 –> 00:23:26,190
\nrestoration of Israel is
\npredicated? <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:31,400 –> 00:23:33,840
\nThe answer is again written
\nlarge across the pages of the <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:33,840 –> 00:23:36,600
\nOld Testament Has to be These
\nthings may not have been <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:36,600 –> 00:23:42,120
\ncomprehended by the Jews, but
\nthey were not incomprehensible, <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:42,960 –> 00:23:44,920
\nand they were not
\nincomprehensible from their <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:44,920 –> 00:23:49,600
\nScriptures.
\nThe answer is repentance. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:51,480 –> 00:23:54,600
\nEnter Acts 2.
\nEnter Acts three. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:57,920 –> 00:24:00,240
\nWe go back first to Deuteronomy
\n30. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:01,640 –> 00:24:04,760
\nNow it shall come to pass when
\nall these things come upon you, <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:05,280 –> 00:24:08,360
\nthe blessing and the curse which
\nI have set before you, and you <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:11,400
\ncall them to mind.
\nAnd that’s, that’s a vitally <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:11,400 –> 00:24:14,960
\nimportant word for the sisters.
\nAnd every time you see it <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:14,960 –> 00:24:19,070
\nhighlighted, it’s the same
\nHebrew word, and it carries the <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:19,070 –> 00:24:24,110
\nidea of turning, of returning.
\nIt carries the spiritual <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:24,110 –> 00:24:28,390
\nsignificance of repentance when
\nit applies to men, and in a <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:28,390 –> 00:24:30,670
\nsense, repentance when it
\napplies to God. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:30,670 –> 00:24:34,990
\nBecause he will turn again to
\nyou if you will turn to Him. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:36,350 –> 00:24:38,750
\nThere’s the burden of the day of
\nPentecost, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:40,910 –> 00:24:43,670
\nIf you bring these things to
\nyour mind that I’ve set before <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:43,670 –> 00:24:47,230
\nyou, if you call them to mind
\namong all the nations where the <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:47,230 –> 00:24:51,990
\nLord your God drives you, and
\nyou return same word to the Lord<\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:51,990 –> 00:25:03,190
\nyour God and obey His voice,
\nrepentance, all these things. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:05,310 –> 00:25:09,110
\nI can only but say, brothers and
\nsisters, let’s take our minds <\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:09,110 –> 00:25:12,790
\nback to the penultimate things
\nthat brother Brother Nigel was <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:12,790 –> 00:25:16,830
\nsaying about the significance of
\nthe law of Moses and the impact <\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:16,830 –> 00:25:20,150
\nit ought to have had upon the
\nhearts of the Jewish people. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:20,150 –> 00:25:21,950
\nAnd that’s what this I think is
\nabout. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:22,510 –> 00:25:26,190
\nAnd repentance is at the very
\nheart of it, literally and <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:26,190 –> 00:25:29,870
\nfiguratively.
\nThe Lord your God will bring you<\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:29,870 –> 00:25:32,190
\nback.
\nHe’ll restore you from captivity<\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:32,350 –> 00:25:36,070
\nand have compassion on you, and
\ngather you again from all the <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:36,070 –> 00:25:38,150
\nnations where the Lord your God
\nhas scattered you. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:38,430 –> 00:25:41,680
\nRestoration Restore your heart
\nto God. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:41,960 –> 00:25:47,760
\nHe’ll restore you.
\nDeuteronomy 30 For the Lord will<\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:47,760 –> 00:25:52,160
\nagain rejoice over you.
\nHe will turn to rejoicing again <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:53,320 –> 00:25:55,160
\nas he rejoiced over your
\nFather’s. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:55,400 –> 00:25:58,560
\nIf you obey the voice of the
\nLord your God to keep His <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:58,560 –> 00:26:02,080
\ncommandments and His statutes,
\nwhich are written in this book <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:02,080 –> 00:26:05,880
\nof the Law, if you turn to the
\nLord your God with all your <\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:05,880 –> 00:26:13,280
\nheart and with all your soul
\nrestoration, if repentance, <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:16,040 –> 00:26:18,320
\nLord, will you at this time
\nrestore the Kingdom to Israel? <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:18,320 –> 00:26:20,600
\nNo, there’s a key ingredient
\nmissing. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:25,440 –> 00:26:29,120
\nBut God will again rejoice over
\nyou if you restore your heart to<\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:29,120 –> 00:26:32,720
\nHim first.
\nKings, eight brothers and <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:32,720 –> 00:26:34,840
\nsisters.
\nThese are as as you can well <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:35,450 –> 00:26:38,370
\nappreciate, these are not
\nobscure places in the Old <\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:38,370 –> 00:26:41,090
\nTestament.
\nIn Deuteronomy chapter 30, <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:41,090 –> 00:26:43,930
\nthey’re on the verge of going
\ninto the land to become, as it <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:43,930 –> 00:26:46,410
\nwere, the Kingdom of God.
\nIn First Kings Eight. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:46,410 –> 00:26:49,730
\nWe now have the dedication of
\nthe temple, in which, at least <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:49,730 –> 00:26:53,290
\nin symbol, God is making a
\nfurther commitment to dwell with<\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:53,290 –> 00:26:58,010
\nmen on earth.
\nThese are not obscure contexts. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:59,490 –> 00:27:02,330
\nWhen your people Israel, are
\ndefeated before an enemy because<\/p>\n
396
\n00:27:02,330 –> 00:27:06,160
\nthey have sinned against you.
\nWhen they turn back. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:06,160 –> 00:27:09,720
\nSame word.
\nWhen they turn back to you and <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:09,720 –> 00:27:14,640
\nconfess your name and pray and
\nmake supplication, acts One <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:14,760 –> 00:27:19,640
\nverse 14 they continued in one
\naccord in prayer and <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:19,640 –> 00:27:22,400
\nsupplication.
\nSame Greek words here as in the <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:22,400 –> 00:27:27,090
\nas in the acceptuagent, as in
\nthe as in the Book of Acts, when<\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:27,090 –> 00:27:30,410
\nthey turn back to you and
\nconfess your name and pray and <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:30,410 –> 00:27:32,890
\nmake supplication to you in this
\ntemple. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:32,890 –> 00:27:35,290
\nDo we want to know where the day
\nof Pentecost took place? <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:35,530 –> 00:27:40,050
\nFrom A-Z in this temple?
\nGranted, it’s not the same <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:40,050 –> 00:27:43,530
\nphysical building as perhaps in
\nthe days of Solomon, but there <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:43,530 –> 00:27:46,290
\nis the right place.
\nThat’s as places, as close as <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:46,290 –> 00:27:49,890
\nthey’re going to come, as it
\nwere, to the presence of God, as<\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:49,890 –> 00:27:51,730
\nthey are in prayer and
\nsupplication. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:52,050 –> 00:27:54,370
\nIn this house where they are
\nsitting. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:54,370 –> 00:27:58,140
\nActs too.
\nThis is where it is, when they <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:58,140 –> 00:28:01,740
\nturn back to you and confess
\nyour name and pray and make <\/p>\n
413
\n00:28:01,740 –> 00:28:05,860
\nsupplication to you in this
\ntemple, then here in heaven and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:05,860 –> 00:28:11,620
\nforgive the sin of your people
\nIsrael, and bring them back same<\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:11,620 –> 00:28:15,300
\nsame word again to the land
\nwhich you gave to their fathers.<\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:15,620 –> 00:28:20,340
\nRestoration when repentance.
\nWhen Israel turns back to God, <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:20,340 –> 00:28:24,380
\nhe will bring them back to him.
\nIsaiah 44 again. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:25,150 –> 00:28:31,030
\nI have blotted out like a thick
\ncloud your transgressions, and <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:31,030 –> 00:28:36,790
\nlike a cloud your sins return to
\nme, for I’ve redeemed you. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:38,430 –> 00:28:42,470
\nThere is the appeal of the
\nglorified Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:42,470 –> 00:28:46,510
\nthrough 12 simple men on the day
\nof Pentecost. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:46,790 –> 00:28:51,390
\nAnd that appeal of Jesus through
\ntheir lips is returned to me. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:51,840 –> 00:28:56,080
\nAnd it’s it’s it’s it’s God
\nspeaking by Jesus through his <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:56,080 –> 00:28:58,720
\napostles.
\nReturn to me, for I’ve redeemed <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:58,720 –> 00:29:01,160
\nyou.
\nI’ve redeemed you. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:29:02,120 –> 00:29:06,080
\nIsaiah 59 Again, our
\ntransgressions are multiplied <\/p>\n
427
\n00:29:06,080 –> 00:29:12,680
\nbefore you, and our sins testify
\nagainst us, for our <\/p>\n
428
\n00:29:12,680 –> 00:29:17,800
\ntransgressions are with us.
\nHere’s ownership and our <\/p>\n
429
\n00:29:17,800 –> 00:29:20,680
\niniquities.
\nWe know them. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:24,840 –> 00:29:28,880
\nWe know them.
\nEzekiel. 36 Again. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:29,920 –> 00:29:32,960
\nThen you will remember your evil
\nways and your deeds that were <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:32,960 –> 00:29:38,120
\nnot good, and you will loathe
\nyourselves in your own sight for<\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:38,120 –> 00:29:40,920
\nyour iniquities and your
\nabominations. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:42,200 –> 00:29:43,360
\nJoel.
\nTwo again. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:43,840 –> 00:29:46,200
\nNow therefore, says the Lord,
\nTurn. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:46,200 –> 00:29:48,960
\nThere it is again.
\nRestore to me with all your <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:48,960 –> 00:29:54,380
\nheart, with fasting, with
\nweeping, with mourning, and rend<\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:54,620 –> 00:29:58,820
\nyour heart and not your
\ngarments. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:30:00,340 –> 00:30:04,940
\nRestore to me.
\nRestore to the Lord, your God, <\/p>\n
440
\n00:30:06,940 –> 00:30:09,500
\nrepentance, and the blotting out
\nof sins. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:30:09,500 –> 00:30:12,300
\nAnd just remember that little
\nphrase from Isaiah 44. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:30:12,540 –> 00:30:16,260
\nI’ve blotted out your sins or
\nyour transgressions like a <\/p>\n
443
\n00:30:16,260 –> 00:30:17,940
\ncloud.
\nLike a thick cloud. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:18,440 –> 00:30:20,520
\nThe repentance and the blotting
\nout of sins are the <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:20,520 –> 00:30:25,760
\nprerequisites of Israel’s
\nrestoration and Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:25,760 –> 00:30:29,840
\nbaptism in the grander scheme of
\nthings. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:30,560 –> 00:30:32,760
\nAnd so we come back to Acts two
\nand Three. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:32,920 –> 00:30:37,320
\nThis is surely what Luke is
\nbuilding on as he now unfolds <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:37,320 –> 00:30:39,600
\nthis story.
\nBut it isn’t just Luke building <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:39,600 –> 00:30:41,720
\non it.
\nThis is the story that’s being <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:41,760 –> 00:30:46,280
\norchestrated from heaven.
\nNo wonder it fits the Old <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:46,280 –> 00:30:49,160
\nTestament so well.
\nThis is the story that’s being <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:49,160 –> 00:30:54,040
\norchestrated by God Almighty
\nthrough the Lord Jesus Christ at<\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:54,040 –> 00:31:01,840
\nhis right hand, and so acts too,
\ntherefore, that all the House of<\/p>\n
455
\n00:31:01,840 –> 00:31:06,320
\nIsrael know assuredly that God
\nhas made this Jesus whom you <\/p>\n
456
\n00:31:06,320 –> 00:31:13,000
\ncrucified both Lord and Christ.
\nNow when they heard this, they <\/p>\n
457
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:16,830
\nwere cut to the heart, and they
\nsaid to Peter and the rest of <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:16,830 –> 00:31:19,630
\nthe apostles, men and brethren,
\nwhat shall we do? <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:20,470 –> 00:31:25,510
\nThey were cut to the heart.
\nI can’t say it well enough. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:27,070 –> 00:31:33,390
\nThe Lord Jesus has starting with
\nthe tongues which were totally <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:33,390 –> 00:31:39,430
\ncomprehensible to the Jews,
\nStarting with the tongues and <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:39,430 –> 00:31:45,940
\ngoing on to Peter’s exhortation.
\nThe Lord Jesus has been <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:45,940 –> 00:31:54,060
\nappealing to these people to
\nturn back, and he has succeeded.<\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:55,580 –> 00:32:01,220
\nThey were cut to the heart.
\nRend your heart and not your <\/p>\n
465
\n00:32:01,220 –> 00:32:09,660
\ngarments, What shall we do?
\nAnd now Acts 2 and Acts 3. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:32:10,940 –> 00:32:15,110
\nAs if the witness of Acts 2 is
\nnot enough, Luke will repeat <\/p>\n
467
\n00:32:15,110 –> 00:32:19,110
\nPeter’s message again in Acts 3.
\nAnd I just want you to see the <\/p>\n
468
\n00:32:19,110 –> 00:32:22,110
\nexact parallels, brothers and
\nsisters, between the message and<\/p>\n
469
\n00:32:22,110 –> 00:32:25,150
\nActs 2 and the and the message
\nthat’s repeated in Acts 3. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:32:25,430 –> 00:32:28,230
\nFrom the the healing of the lame
\nman at the beautiful gate of the<\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:28,230 –> 00:32:32,790
\ntemple on through Acts chapter 4
\nto to verse 31, brothers is <\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:32,790 –> 00:32:35,630
\nwe’ve got a replication of
\nPentecost. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:39,710 –> 00:32:42,510
\nThen Peter said to them repent
\nand let every one of you be <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:42,510 –> 00:32:45,110
\nbaptized in the name of Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:45,270 –> 00:32:50,230
\nActs 3 repent and be converted
\nand in the Greek New Testament <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:50,310 –> 00:32:54,670
\nthat’s the same word that’s used
\nfor return restore in the Old <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:54,670 –> 00:32:58,710
\nTestament.
\nAnd the parallelism says that <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:58,710 –> 00:33:02,310
\nconversion and baptism are are
\nare inseparable in their own <\/p>\n
479
\n00:33:02,310 –> 00:33:06,480
\nright.
\nIt is part of our repentant <\/p>\n
480
\n00:33:06,480 –> 00:33:11,200
\nresponse to God that we want our
\nsins washed away. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:33:12,320 –> 00:33:16,040
\nAnd this is the means whereby
\nGod in in just such a simple <\/p>\n
482
\n00:33:16,040 –> 00:33:20,200
\nway, has provided for us to
\nexpress that faith obediently. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:33:21,640 –> 00:33:29,200
\nRepentance and restoration to
\nGod for the remission of sins. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:37,780
\nFor the remission of sins.
\nActs 3 Isaiah 44 That your sins <\/p>\n
485
\n00:33:37,780 –> 00:33:40,220
\nmay be blotted out.
\nI’ve blotted out your <\/p>\n
486
\n00:33:40,220 –> 00:33:42,420
\ntransgressions like a thick
\ncloud. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:43,180 –> 00:33:46,340
\nThere’s the Isaiah language
\nbeing picked up again, and the <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:46,340 –> 00:33:49,060
\nJews would have heard it.
\nThey would have recognized it <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:49,500 –> 00:33:58,540
\nthat your sins may be blotted
\nout forgiveness of sins and you <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:58,540 –> 00:34:00,700
\nshall receive the gift of the
\nHoly Spirit. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:00,900 –> 00:34:06,710
\nThere’s when it’s finally going
\nto be Is this the time to <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:06,710 –> 00:34:07,750
\nrestore the Kingdom?
\nNo. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:07,870 –> 00:34:15,230
\nThis is the time, and it’s the
\ntimes of refreshing that will <\/p>\n
494
\n00:34:15,230 –> 00:34:16,670
\ncome from the presence of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:34:16,870 –> 00:34:20,030
\nAnd here’s the parallel that
\nLuke gives at Acts 3 compared <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:20,030 –> 00:34:23,469
\nwith this part of Acts two.
\nWe mustn’t miss those <\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:23,469 –> 00:34:27,260
\nconnections, the time when they
\nwill receive the gift of the <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:27,260 –> 00:34:29,940
\nHoly Spirit.
\nUltimately, whatever tokens <\/p>\n
499
\n00:34:29,940 –> 00:34:32,699
\nmight have been received in the
\nNew Testament times are the <\/p>\n
500
\n00:34:32,699 –> 00:34:36,580
\ntimes that refreshing will come
\nfrom the presence of the Lord. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:34:37,020 –> 00:34:42,260
\nIn fact, they must repent, so
\nthat the times of refreshing may<\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:42,260 –> 00:34:45,139
\ncome from the presence of the
\nLord, that He may send Jesus <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:45,139 –> 00:34:48,940
\nChrist, who was preached to you
\nbefore whom heaven must receive <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:49,139 –> 00:34:55,650
\nuntil the times of restoration
\nof all things which God has <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:55,650 –> 00:35:00,370
\nspoken by the mouth of all His
\nholy prophets since the world <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:00,370 –> 00:35:04,050
\nbegan.
\nThis would not be lost on the <\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:04,050 –> 00:35:09,730
\nJews.
\nHoly Spirit baptism and <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:09,730 –> 00:35:13,170
\nrestoration go together.
\nThey go together. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:13,170 –> 00:35:17,130
\nAnd what does it mean then to
\nthe Jewish mind? <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:17,130 –> 00:35:19,570
\nAnd we just juxtapose a few
\npassages. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:20,010 –> 00:35:23,140
\nYou should receive the gift of
\nthe Holy Spirit, times of <\/p>\n
512
\n00:35:23,140 –> 00:35:26,420
\nrefreshing from the presence of
\nthe Lord, the times of the <\/p>\n
513
\n00:35:26,420 –> 00:35:30,820
\nrestoration of all things.
\nI will put my spirit within you.<\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:33,100 –> 00:35:38,260
\nUltimately, all of the overt
\nHoly Spirit activity of the New <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:38,260 –> 00:35:42,540
\nTestament has ultimately got to
\ncome to dwell within the hearts <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:42,540 –> 00:35:45,660
\nof those who receive that
\nministration. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:45,900 –> 00:35:50,140
\nI will put my spirit within you.
\nThen you shall dwell in the land<\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:50,140 –> 00:35:54,730
\nthat I gave your Father’s, You
\nshall be my people, and I will <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:54,730 –> 00:35:58,690
\nbe your God.
\nAnd there is Israel’s salvation.<\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:02,850 –> 00:36:06,570
\nThe gift of the Holy Spirit and
\nthe restoration of all things <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:06,770 –> 00:36:10,570
\nwent inseparably together, not
\njust in the Old Testament, but <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:10,570 –> 00:36:13,490
\nin Peter’s preaching to the Jews
\nof Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:36:13,890 –> 00:36:16,650
\nAnd that’s the grander structure
\nof these early chapters of the <\/p>\n
524
\n00:36:16,650 –> 00:36:19,620
\nBook of Acts.
\nThis is what the prophets had <\/p>\n
525
\n00:36:19,620 –> 00:36:22,860
\nbeen saying, at least from the
\nbeginning of Israel’s history <\/p>\n
526
\n00:36:23,020 –> 00:36:26,820
\nall that all the Lord’s people
\nwere prophets, and that the Lord<\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:26,820 –> 00:36:34,780
\nwould put his spirit upon them.
\nThe restoration of the hearts of<\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:34,780 –> 00:36:37,780
\nthe Jewish people began on the
\nday of Pentecost. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:38,780 –> 00:36:41,860
\nThe restoration of the Kingdom
\nto Israel is still to come. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:42,670 –> 00:36:46,830
\nThe restoration of the heart was
\nand is manifested in the baptism<\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:46,830 –> 00:36:49,670
\nof repentance for the
\nforgiveness of sins. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:49,830 –> 00:36:53,670
\nThe restoration of all things at
\nthe coming of Jesus Christ will <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:53,670 –> 00:36:56,350
\nbring the baptism of Holy
\nSpirit. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:56,750 –> 00:37:06,270
\nThe two baptisms are inseparable
\nrepentance unto life. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:37:11,550 –> 00:37:16,590
\nThere can be no human salvation
\nwithout repentance and the <\/p>\n
536
\n00:37:16,590 –> 00:37:20,270
\nforgiveness of sins.
\nWater baptism. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:37:21,710 –> 00:37:26,670
\nThat’s the divinely ordained way
\nthat we publicly confess this <\/p>\n
538
\n00:37:28,480 –> 00:37:32,320
\nThere can be no human salvation
\nwithout the full restoration of <\/p>\n
539
\n00:37:32,320 –> 00:37:34,360
\nlife.
\nThis is where we said yesterday <\/p>\n
540
\n00:37:34,480 –> 00:37:37,960
\nthat Orthodoxy simply cannot
\nappreciate our need for eternal <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:37,960 –> 00:37:41,520
\nlife because of its doctrine of
\ninherent immortality. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:42,680 –> 00:37:45,840
\nThere can be no human salvation
\nwithout the full restoration of <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:45,840 –> 00:37:49,200
\nlife, the life of God and man.
\nAnd here’s where Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:49,200 –> 00:37:54,140
\nbaptism plays its role.
\nThe Old Testament principles of <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:54,140 –> 00:37:59,820
\nsalvation, repentance, and
\nrestoration were understood and <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:59,820 –> 00:38:02,660
\nconsistently applied in New
\nTestament times. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:02,980 –> 00:38:07,100
\nWater baptism and Holy Spirit
\nbaptism were and remain <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:07,300 –> 00:38:10,100
\ninseparable in the saving
\npurpose of God. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:11,020 –> 00:38:15,620
\nAnd so John the Baptist and I
\njust want to survey quickly the <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:15,620 –> 00:38:19,540
\nNew Testament references you’ll
\nfind again and again and again <\/p>\n
551
\n00:38:19,540 –> 00:38:21,460
\nand again.
\nThey’re both there. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:24,470 –> 00:38:27,910
\nI indeed baptize you with water.
\nHe will baptize you with the <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:27,910 –> 00:38:31,830
\nHoly Spirit and fire.
\nI indeed baptize you with water.<\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:32,110 –> 00:38:33,830
\nHe will baptize you with the
\nHoly Spirit. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:34,950 –> 00:38:37,710
\nI indeed baptize you with water.
\nHe will baptize you with the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:37,710 –> 00:38:40,510
\nHoly Spirit and fire.
\nLet me just stop there. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:40,510 –> 00:38:43,950
\nBrothers and sisters, we talk or
\nwait. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:43,950 –> 00:38:45,070
\nWell, we don’t.
\nWell, we do. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:45,070 –> 00:38:48,950
\nYes, we do.
\nBut so do people like Benjamin <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:49,110 –> 00:38:55,850
\nWarfield of orthodox fame and
\nsay that the apostles received <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:56,010 –> 00:38:58,330
\nthe power of the Holy Spirit and
\ncould pass it on. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:04,760 –> 00:39:08,400
\nJohn is saying there’s only one
\nthat baptizes with the Holy <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:08,400 –> 00:39:13,680
\nSpirit.
\nJohn couldn’t do it. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:20,280
\nWhen we administer baptism to
\nour friends and our children, we<\/p>\n
565
\n00:39:20,280 –> 00:39:25,380
\ncannot do it.
\nThere’s only one no mortal <\/p>\n
566
\n00:39:25,380 –> 00:39:29,980
\nfollower of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist can give the tokens of <\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:29,980 –> 00:39:34,660
\neternal life, even now, in this
\nage, to other mortal men. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:35,580 –> 00:39:39,300
\nThe Savior is the one who does
\nthis, and that’s what the New <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:39,300 –> 00:39:43,260
\nTestament is telling us.
\nIt’s the Savior. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:43,380 –> 00:39:46,100
\nSo when Peter and John go down
\nto Samaria, they don’t give the <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:46,100 –> 00:39:48,900
\nHoly Spirit.
\nIn fact, you’ll remember they’re<\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:48,900 –> 00:39:50,940
\npraying that the Holy Spirit may
\ncome. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:51,490 –> 00:39:53,290
\nThat doesn’t sound like the
\nwords of, well, we’ve got to get<\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:53,290 –> 00:39:54,890
\ndown to Samaria and give them
\nsome Holy Spirit. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:56,610 –> 00:39:58,210
\nAnd how does the Holy Spirit
\ncome? <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:58,690 –> 00:40:04,050
\nIt fell on them.
\nNow, you know, I’m kind of a <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:04,050 –> 00:40:08,210
\nstupid physics teacher, and to
\nme, that means this way, not <\/p>\n
578
\n00:40:08,610 –> 00:40:10,970
\nthat way.
\nAll right? <\/p>\n
579
\n00:40:11,890 –> 00:40:13,490
\nThey prayed, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:40:13,490 –> 00:40:17,680
\nThey knew their role.
\nThey were the feet and the hands<\/p>\n
581
\n00:40:17,720 –> 00:40:20,720
\nand the mouth of Jesus.
\nThey were the ones whom he had <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:20,720 –> 00:40:22,760
\ncommissioned.
\nThey were his apostles. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:22,840 –> 00:40:24,600
\nAnd there are other lessons to
\nlearn here. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:24,720 –> 00:40:28,520
\nThey come down from Jerusalem
\nbecause, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:28,520 –> 00:40:31,320
\nthere’s not going to be the
\nfirst Church of Christ at <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:31,320 –> 00:40:35,970
\nJerusalem and the first Church
\nof Christ in Samaria and the <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:35,970 –> 00:40:38,250
\nfirst Church of Christ in
\nCaesarea. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:38,490 –> 00:40:40,890
\nAnd we’ve got multiple
\ndenominations going on here. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:41,170 –> 00:40:45,290
\nThese Samaritans are going to be
\nat one with the Ecclesia in <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:45,290 –> 00:40:47,690
\nJerusalem.
\nThe Jews, the Jews had no <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:47,690 –> 00:40:52,850
\ndealings with the Samaritans.
\nThey do now, and the apostles <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:52,850 –> 00:40:55,330
\nare the means whereby that’s
\nmade clear to us. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:55,530 –> 00:40:58,250
\nAnd after they left there, they
\npreached through the villages of<\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:58,250 –> 00:41:00,690
\nSamaria, and the Great
\nCommission is going forth <\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:00,690 –> 00:41:03,960
\nthrough them.
\nBut all of that result is part <\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:03,960 –> 00:41:05,840
\nand parse makes them one
\necclesia. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:05,920 –> 00:41:07,880
\nThat’s why the apostles are
\ninvolved. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:08,920 –> 00:41:11,760
\nLet’s jettison Benjamin
\nWarfield’s ideas here, Brothers <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:11,760 –> 00:41:15,400
\nand sisters, no mortal follower
\nof Jesus gives the tokens of <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:15,400 –> 00:41:17,440
\neternal life to another mortal
\nfollower. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:18,720 –> 00:41:21,160
\nThat is the Lord’s province to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:21,760 –> 00:41:24,720
\nHe gives the Holy Spirit.
\nJohn says I can’t do it. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:25,160 –> 00:41:29,440
\nHe will baptize you with the
\nHoly Spirit, and so through the <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:29,440 –> 00:41:32,750
\nhands of his designated
\napostles. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:32,870 –> 00:41:37,390
\nIt is Jesus who brings the Holy
\nSpirit upon the Samaritans and <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:37,390 –> 00:41:39,550
\nsays to us, this is not a
\nPentecost of the Samaritans. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:39,750 –> 00:41:43,830
\nThis is the proof that these
\nSamaritans are on an equal <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:43,830 –> 00:41:46,670
\nfooting with the Jews of
\nJerusalem as the heirs of <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:46,670 –> 00:41:51,430
\neternal life to be given by the
\nglorified Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:51,790 –> 00:41:55,590
\nThat to me is what it’s saying.
\nI indeed baptize you with water.<\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:55,950 –> 00:41:58,190
\nHe will baptize you with the
\nHoly Spirit. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:59,310 –> 00:42:01,350
\nHe who sent me to baptize with
\nwater. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:02,550 –> 00:42:05,710
\nThis is he who baptizes with the
\nHoly Spirit. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:07,310 –> 00:42:10,670
\nJohn Baptist made it clear that
\nwater baptism and Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:10,670 –> 00:42:13,550
\nbaptism fully.
\nGod ordained and fully <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:13,550 –> 00:42:17,750
\ncomplimentary, and I have no
\nqualms about John’s baptism. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:17,750 –> 00:42:23,750
\nIt was absolutely valid, and it
\nwas still a valid baptism on the<\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:23,750 –> 00:42:28,570
\nday of Pentecost.
\nJohn did not teach that Holy <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:28,570 –> 00:42:32,090
\nSpirit baptism would replace
\nwater baptism, but rather that <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:32,090 –> 00:42:34,490
\nthe coming might.
\nHere one Jesus would administer <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:34,490 –> 00:42:38,250
\nthe Holy Spirit baptism that
\nneither John nor the Apostles, <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:38,250 –> 00:42:42,490
\nnor you, nor I, nor any other
\nevangelical, can give to men. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:47,690 –> 00:42:55,370
\nThe apostles repent and be
\nbaptized and receive the gift of<\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:55,370 –> 00:43:00,970
\nthe Holy Spirit following the
\npreaching of Philip. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:00,970 –> 00:43:03,410
\nWhen they believed the things
\nconcerning the Kingdom of God in<\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:03,410 –> 00:43:05,890
\nthe name of Jesus Christ.
\nThey were baptized, both men and<\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:05,890 –> 00:43:09,130
\nwomen, but they’d only been
\nbaptized in the name of the Lord<\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:09,210 –> 00:43:11,810
\nJesus.
\nThen they laid hands on them and<\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:11,810 –> 00:43:14,370
\nthey received the Holy Spirit
\nfrom heaven. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:14,970 –> 00:43:20,850
\nIt fell on them and it doesn’t,
\ntelling us that somehow the <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:20,850 –> 00:43:23,570
\nbaptism in water was inadequate.
\nIt’s telling us that the <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:23,570 –> 00:43:26,770
\nparadigms not complete yet.
\nIt’s not complete yet. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:27,370 –> 00:43:30,370
\nThey’ve done this part, and now
\nheaven does its part. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:31,530 –> 00:43:34,730
\nBaptized in the name of Jesus,
\nand they received the Holy <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:34,730 –> 00:43:38,490
\nSpirit.
\nThe conversion of Saul and Anaya<\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:38,490 –> 00:43:42,170
\nsays be filled with the Holy
\nSpirit, and he arose and was <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:42,170 –> 00:43:44,610
\nbaptized.
\nAnd now it almost looks to us, <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:44,610 –> 00:43:46,930
\nwe can’t be sure that the
\norder’s reversed here. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:47,930 –> 00:43:51,690
\nMaybe it’s that maybe there was
\nthis baptismal gift that was <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:51,690 –> 00:43:55,400
\ngiven to to to Saul.
\nAnd in response to that, Hannah <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:55,400 –> 00:43:58,960
\nand I says, why Terrius, Thou
\narise and be baptized and wash <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:58,960 –> 00:44:00,960
\naway your sins, calling on the
\nname of the Lord. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:01,280 –> 00:44:03,960
\nThey had to go together.
\nAnd the order isn’t necessarily <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:03,960 –> 00:44:06,960
\nimportant at this point in time.
\nIt’s the message. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:06,960 –> 00:44:09,600
\nIt’s the inseparableness that’s
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:10,160 –> 00:44:12,520
\nYou come to Acts 10.
\nWe see the same thing, don’t we?<\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:12,720 –> 00:44:14,600
\nFirst the Holy Spirit fell on
\nthem. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:14,600 –> 00:44:17,560
\nThere’s the same language.
\nPeter’s hands are off here. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:18,240 –> 00:44:20,200
\nPeter has nothing to do with
\nthis. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:20,200 –> 00:44:23,000
\nHis hands are not on on
\nCornelius as far as we can tell <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:23,000 –> 00:44:26,600
\nAt this point in time.
\nHe’s as amazed as anybody else <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:26,600 –> 00:44:29,520
\nis.
\nThe Spirit fell upon those who <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:29,520 –> 00:44:33,200
\nheard the word and he commanded
\nthem to be baptized and will <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:33,200 –> 00:44:37,160
\nperhaps see a hint in Chapter 11
\nlater of why Peter was instantly<\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:37,320 –> 00:44:41,720
\nmoved to do this.
\nThe order is reversed here, <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:41,720 –> 00:44:44,340
\nisn’t it?
\nThe order of water baptism and <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:44,340 –> 00:44:46,740
\nHoly Spirit baptism was clearly
\nnot as important in New <\/p>\n
658
\n00:44:46,740 –> 00:44:49,620
\nTestament times as was the
\nprinciple inseparableness. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:44:49,780 –> 00:44:52,300
\nBecause the Holy Spirit baptisms
\nwere incipient. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:44:52,940 –> 00:44:56,540
\nThey’re not the ultimate
\nbestowal of eternal life on men.<\/p>\n
661
\n00:44:57,620 –> 00:45:02,500
\nPut another way, having scanned
\nJohn’s preaching, having scanned<\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:02,500 –> 00:45:05,900
\nthe apostles experience, put
\nanother way, one baptism cannot <\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:05,900 –> 00:45:10,340
\nhappen without the other.
\nThe alternating order also <\/p>\n
664
\n00:45:10,340 –> 00:45:13,530
\nunderscores the fact that Holy
\nSpirit, baptisms, and New <\/p>\n
665
\n00:45:13,530 –> 00:45:17,290
\nTestament times were a token of
\nsalvation to come and not <\/p>\n
666
\n00:45:17,290 –> 00:45:24,370
\nsalvation itself.
\nWhat it meant in those days was <\/p>\n
667
\n00:45:25,090 –> 00:45:31,610
\nthat God has granted to the Jews
\nin Jerusalem, to the Samaritans,<\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:31,810 –> 00:45:36,170
\nto the Gentiles of Caesarea,
\nultimately extend the principle <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:36,610 –> 00:45:40,890
\nGod has granted to the Gentiles
\nrepentance to life. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:42,850 –> 00:45:46,370
\nPaula Deposus.
\nThey were baptized and the Holy <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:46,370 –> 00:45:49,850
\nSpirit came upon them.
\nWater baptism and Holy Spirit <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:49,850 –> 00:45:53,130
\nbaptism were inseparable in the
\nNew Testament times. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:45:53,490 –> 00:45:58,130
\nThe evidence of the Gospels and
\nActs is unmistakably clear, and <\/p>\n
674
\n00:45:58,130 –> 00:46:05,450
\nthe clock has beaten me.
\nI was thinking that would happen<\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:06,130 –> 00:46:12,110
\nand my mind went to our hymn
\ntime like an over ever rolling <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:12,110 –> 00:46:20,350
\nstream bears All our talks away
\nand probably if you’re like me, <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:20,350 –> 00:46:24,070
\nthe rest is true.
\nThey fly forgotten as a dream <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:24,070 –> 00:46:26,750
\ndies at the break of day.
\nBut somehow, brothers and <\/p>\n
679
\n00:46:26,750 –> 00:46:28,830
\nsisters were the better for this
\nexercise. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:46:29,110 –> 00:46:31,430
\nEven if we don’t remember the
\ndetails, we’re the better for <\/p>\n
681
\n00:46:31,430 –> 00:46:34,070
\nit.
\nThe Lord Jesus was the ultimate <\/p>\n
682
\n00:46:34,070 –> 00:46:36,230
\nparadigm of water and spirit,
\nwasn’t he? <\/p>\n
683
\n00:46:37,450 –> 00:46:40,810
\nAnd you’ll just have to look at
\nthose thoughts in the notes. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:46:41,010 –> 00:46:47,730
\nWe turn to page 13.
\nFitting, I guess. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:46:47,730 –> 00:46:49,810
\nThis is today’s date, isn’t it?
\n213? <\/p>\n
686
\n00:46:51,930 –> 00:46:54,450
\nAnd we just look at the summary
\ntogether and Brother David told <\/p>\n
687
\n00:46:54,450 –> 00:46:57,210
\nme I stop at high noon, it’s now
\nhigh noon +2. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:46:58,090 –> 00:47:02,970
\nHoly Spirit baptism is at the
\nforefront of New Testament <\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:02,970 –> 00:47:04,890
\nteaching.
\nIt is therefore, it’s got to be <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:04,890 –> 00:47:06,690
\nan integral part of man’s
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:47:07,440 –> 00:47:10,240
\nIts significance is established
\nin the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:47:10,880 –> 00:47:14,920
\nThe repentance of Israel, its
\nrestoration to God in the land, <\/p>\n
693
\n00:47:14,920 –> 00:47:17,240
\nand the outpouring of God’s
\nSpirit on His people are <\/p>\n
694
\n00:47:17,280 –> 00:47:21,560
\ninseparable events.
\nThey are all fundamental to the <\/p>\n
695
\n00:47:21,560 –> 00:47:25,720
\nrestoration of the Kingdom to
\nIsrael by the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
696
\n00:47:25,920 –> 00:47:29,240
\nThey are all fundamental to
\nIsrael’s eternal salvation. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:47:30,920 –> 00:47:33,800
\nPentecost marked only a
\nbeginning of Israel’s <\/p>\n
698
\n00:47:33,800 –> 00:47:36,840
\nrepentance.
\nIt was characterized by a <\/p>\n
699
\n00:47:36,840 –> 00:47:40,040
\nbaptism of repentance in the
\nname of Jesus Christ for the <\/p>\n
700
\n00:47:40,040 –> 00:47:43,720
\nremission of sins.
\nIt carried the promise of Holy <\/p>\n
701
\n00:47:43,720 –> 00:47:48,160
\nSpirit Baptism, the gift of the
\nHoly Spirit, to those whose <\/p>\n
702
\n00:47:48,160 –> 00:47:52,960
\nhearts were turned, turn, turn,
\nturn. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:47:54,400 –> 00:47:56,480
\nGod has also granted repentance
\nto life. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:47:56,480 –> 00:47:59,960
\nTo Gentiles the necessity of
\nrepentant baptism and Holy <\/p>\n
705
\n00:47:59,960 –> 00:48:02,480
\nSpirit.
\nBaptism is the same for us. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:03,460 –> 00:48:05,900
\nThe culmination point is also
\nthe same. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:06,660 –> 00:48:11,100
\nThe return of Israel’s Redeemer
\nto Zion and the glory of God are<\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:11,100 –> 00:48:17,180
\nrising upon us and seen in us.
\nThe Redeemer Himself. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:48:17,180 –> 00:48:20,140
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ is the
\nliving embodiment of the <\/p>\n
710
\n00:48:20,140 –> 00:48:23,460
\nprinciples of human salvation.
\nHis water baptism. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:48:23,460 –> 00:48:27,060
\nBrethren and sisters expressed
\nhis commitment to death as a son<\/p>\n
712
\n00:48:27,060 –> 00:48:31,300
\nof Adam and the Holy Spirit
\nbaptism that Jesus that God <\/p>\n
713
\n00:48:31,300 –> 00:48:34,860
\nimmediately gave to our Lord.
\nJesus expressed God’s commitment<\/p>\n
714
\n00:48:34,860 –> 00:48:39,620
\nto his eternal life as the Son
\nof God. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:48:41,420 –> 00:48:44,780
\nWater baptism and Holy Spirit
\nbaptism are thus seen as <\/p>\n
716
\n00:48:44,820 –> 00:48:48,620
\ninseparable essentials of human
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:48:48,950 –> 00:48:52,550
\nThis message was clear and for
\nwith John the Baptist to all who<\/p>\n
718
\n00:48:52,550 –> 00:48:55,990
\napplied to him for baptism.
\nAnd this was the clear message <\/p>\n
719
\n00:48:55,990 –> 00:49:00,270
\nof the apostles being attested
\nto now by the miraculous <\/p>\n
