Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 337.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,360 –> 00:00:07,000
\nOur speaker for the second
\nsession is Brother Lane <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,040 –> 00:00:10,680
\nRittmeyer from Cardiff, Wales.
\nHis theme for the week is The <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:10,680 –> 00:00:13,160
\nPower of Bible Places and their
\nLessons. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:13,160 –> 00:00:15,720
\nFor us.
\nThis is his third class and the <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:15,720 –> 00:00:19,000
\nsubject for this class is
\nGalilee of the Gentiles. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:19,720 –> 00:00:23,400
\nOur reading was taken from John
\nchapter one verse 43 through <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:23,400 –> 00:00:33,720
\nJohn chapter 2 verse 11.
\nDear brother and sisters and <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:33,760 –> 00:00:37,360
\nyoung people, for those of you
\nwho were here for the first <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:37,360 –> 00:00:40,800
\nclass may remember that the land
\nof Israel could be divided into <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:40,800 –> 00:00:43,880
\n4 different geographical
\nregions. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:43,880 –> 00:00:47,160
\nWe looked at the coastal strip
\nwhich was dominated by the <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:47,480 –> 00:00:51,640
\nPhilistines, and then we looked
\nat the central mountain range. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:51,640 –> 00:00:55,200
\nThat’s where most of the holy
\nsites were located, where able <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:55,200 –> 00:00:58,000
\nmen to to Shechem.
\nThe Tabernacle stood in Shiloh, <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:58,520 –> 00:01:00,960
\nJerusalem, the place where the
\nTemple was built. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:01,640 –> 00:01:04,640
\nAnd then we indicated was that
\nJordan Valley. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,240
\nWe spent some time there last
\nnight and in the second-half of <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:08,240 –> 00:01:11,680
\nour talk today, we’re going to
\nlook at that Jordan Valley as <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:11,680 –> 00:01:14,520
\nwell now in the.
\nWe want to. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:14,520 –> 00:01:17,480
\nLook at the life of the Lord
\nJesus Christ through the Gospel <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:17,480 –> 00:01:23,760
\nof John in chapter 1.
\nJust pick out one verse in verse<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:23,760 –> 00:01:30,280
\n28.
\nVery first 26 for connection <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:30,280 –> 00:01:33,840
\nthere was John the Baptist
\nanswering the Pharisees, saying,<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:33,840 –> 00:01:37,360
\nI baptised this water, but there
\nstand this one among you whom he<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:37,360 –> 00:01:40,680
\nknow not.
\nHe it is who coming after me is <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:40,680 –> 00:01:44,440
\npreferred before me, whose shoes
\nlet it I’m not worthy to lose. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:44,800 –> 00:01:48,440
\nThese things were done in
\nBethabara beyond Jordan where <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:48,440 –> 00:01:51,320
\nJohn was baptizing.
\nAnd the next day Jesus, John <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:51,320 –> 00:01:54,720
\nsees Jesus coming unto him.
\nIt is, behold, the Lamb of God, <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:54,720 –> 00:01:56,680
\nwhich takes away the sin of the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:56,880 –> 00:01:59,920
\nAnd that’s where Jesus was
\nbaptized in Bethabara. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:00,320 –> 00:02:04,280
\nBut we’re talking much more
\nabout Bethabara in our one but <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:04,280 –> 00:02:09,039
\nlast talk.
\nSo from Bethabara, you can see <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:09,039 –> 00:02:12,680
\nhere on the map, Jesus had to
\ncome all the way down from from <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:12,680 –> 00:02:17,640
\nNazareth and he was baptised
\nhere in Bethabara, very close to<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:17,640 –> 00:02:20,960
\nwhere Sodom was located.
\nHe was tempted in the wilderness<\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:21,280 –> 00:02:24,560
\nand then he went back up to to
\nNazareth presumably. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:29,240
\nThen he continued journeying.
\nHe went to Cana 1st and then he <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:29,240 –> 00:02:35,800
\nwent to Capernaum.
\nSo Cana we have been reading in <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:35,800 –> 00:02:40,200
\nthis chapter one first of all
\nabout Nathaniel. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:41,320 –> 00:02:44,960
\nAnd Philip found Nathaniel,
\nsaid, we found him of whom Moses<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:46,680
\nin the law.
\nAnd the prophet said, right, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:46,720 –> 00:02:52,400
\nJesus of Nazareth, the son of
\nJoseph, and Nathaniel came from <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:54,760
\nCana.
\nThat is where he lived. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:56,120 –> 00:02:59,920
\nYou can go to John chapter 21
\nand verse 2 and it says that <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:59,920 –> 00:03:03,920
\nvery specifically that Nathaniel
\nwas from Cana in Galilee. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:06,840
\nSo what do we know about Cana in
\nGalilee? <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:07,440 –> 00:03:10,680
\nA very important place.
\nAnd it’s, I call it the city of <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:13,680
\ntwo signs.
\nNow some people say to talk <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:13,680 –> 00:03:17,200
\nabout the 8 signs of John, but
\nonly the first one is mentioned <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:17,200 –> 00:03:20,400
\nand the second one specifically
\nas the second sign. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:21,040 –> 00:03:24,000
\nNow, if you go to Cana, you’ve
\ngot the choice of places to go <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:26,160
\nto.
\nYou can go to Franciscan Cana or<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:26,160 –> 00:03:29,040
\nto Greek Orthodox Cana.
\nYou can go to the Chapel of <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:29,040 –> 00:03:33,200
\nNathaniel.
\nThat is what Christian tradition<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:36,200
\nhas done for us.
\nBeen in these churches patio, <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:39,680
\nyou see icons and you don’t
\nlearn anything at all from Cana.<\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:44,720
\nBut there is also a site called
\nKhirbet Khanna and I believe <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:49,120
\nthat is rather this site on
\nquite an interesting hill. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:49,720 –> 00:03:54,440
\nA few excavations have taken
\nplace there and looking on top <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:54,440 –> 00:03:57,840
\nfrom the satellite picture, you
\ncan see the outline of the city <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:57,840 –> 00:04:01,280
\nof Cana.
\nThere’s some S structures here. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:01,280 –> 00:04:04,440
\nThere’s a synagogue or a church
\nand some lower houses. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:04,440 –> 00:04:07,840
\nYou can see an excavation going
\non and that is most likely the <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:07,840 –> 00:04:12,880
\nplace where Cana was located.
\nYou can look across the Natoffa <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:12,880 –> 00:04:15,760
\nValley and there on the hill is
\nNazareth. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:15,760 –> 00:04:20,200
\nSo it was in view of Nazareth
\nand it was kind of the natural <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:20,480 –> 00:04:24,600
\nway to explore the horizons for
\nJesus to go to as he did as a <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:27,440
\nyoung man.
\nWell, there’s here’s some walls <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:27,440 –> 00:04:31,280
\nthat belong to houses of the 1st
\ncentury AD. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:31,280 –> 00:04:33,520
\nI just wonder how long it will
\nbe before they say, oh, this is <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:33,520 –> 00:04:36,040
\nthe House of Nathaniel.
\nThat’s how you work in <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:38,240
\narchaeology.
\nBut there’s also a synagogue <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:38,240 –> 00:04:44,320
\nhere and also a synagogue here.
\nSo it was a Jewish place where <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:45,240 –> 00:04:50,560
\nCana, where Nathaniel lived.
\nNow, three things happened there<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:50,560 –> 00:04:53,280
\nin Cana.
\nImportant science were given <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:53,280 –> 00:04:56,280
\nthere first of all.
\nWe have Nathaniel under the fig <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:56,280 –> 00:05:00,880
\ntree, then we have the water
\nturned into wine, and then Jesus<\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:00,880 –> 00:05:05,440
\nand the nobleman’s son.
\nSo what do we know about these <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:05,440 –> 00:05:09,080
\nincidences?
\nIt’s really an amazing thing <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:09,920 –> 00:05:16,800
\nthat if you think of Nathaniel
\nliving there, Philip coming to <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:20,080
\nhim, he says we have found him
\nof who Moses in the law and the <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:24,080
\nprophets did write verse 45,
\nJesus of Nazareth, the son of <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:24,080 –> 00:05:28,280
\nJoseph as a typical Jew.
\nHe says, can any good thing come<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:28,280 –> 00:05:32,400
\nout of Nazareth?
\nNow Philip says come and come <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:32,560 –> 00:05:37,120
\nset unto him, come and see.
\nNow the name Nathaniel, it’s the<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:37,120 –> 00:05:41,720
\nname of our second son, by the
\nway, means a gift of God, and <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:41,720 –> 00:05:47,200
\nJesus called him in a very
\nspecial way, and there’s a lot. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:47,560 –> 00:05:52,120
\nTo teach us because what does
\nJesus say? <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:52,120 –> 00:05:58,480
\nJust a one sentence in verse 48
\nbefore Philip Caldy, when thou <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:58,480 –> 00:06:01,840
\nwas under the fig tree, I saw
\nthee. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:06,360
\nAs somebody says to you, I saw
\nyou sitting on a tree. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:08,840
\nWould you react like this?
\nRabbi? <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:08,920 –> 00:06:11,600
\nThou art the Son of God.
\nThou art the King of Israel. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:12,320 –> 00:06:15,040
\nJust because he sat on a fig
\ntree and Jesus knew that. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:16,560 –> 00:06:19,760
\nIt gives an.
\nInsight into the mind of <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:19,760 –> 00:06:23,120
\nNathaniel and why Jesus called
\nhim. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:23,960 –> 00:06:26,000
\nHe was working, probably, you
\nknow. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:26,800 –> 00:06:29,480
\nDigging up the ground of the fig
\ntree, perhaps watering the fig <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:29,480 –> 00:06:32,880
\ntree, looking after it, cutting
\nout their branches, doing his <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:33,080 –> 00:06:36,520
\ndaily work.
\nWe all have our daily work to <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:36,520 –> 00:06:39,720
\ndo.
\nRemember Bob Lloyd one saying. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:39,960 –> 00:06:42,440
\nAbout the work of a housewife.
\nThe Sisters. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:42,440 –> 00:06:44,480
\nWork in the.
\nKitchen, he says because your <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:44,480 –> 00:06:47,520
\nhands are in the sink doesn’t
\nmean to say that your brain must<\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:47,520 –> 00:06:54,400
\nbe there.
\nAlso, because Dan and Nathani <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:57,480
\nwas working with the fig tree
\ndoesn’t mean to say that his <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:57,760 –> 00:07:00,240
\nbrain was in the fig tree.
\nHis brain was somewhere else <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:00,240 –> 00:07:03,000
\ncompletely because he made.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:05,400
\nThinking, but then.
\nHe was thinking about the fig <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:07,640
\ntree.
\nI’d like you to go to Proverbs <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:07,680 –> 00:07:10,760
\nchapter 27 and verse 18.
\nAnd then I. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:10,760 –> 00:07:13,920
\nBelieve we know what he was
\nthinking about <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:26,060 –> 00:07:33,460
\nSouth Proverbs 27 and verse 18.
\nIt’s a fantastically interesting<\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:33,500 –> 00:07:44,760
\nproverb where it says.
\nHe who tends a fig tree will eat<\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:47,000
\nits fruit.
\nAnd that’s why Nathaniel was <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:47,000 –> 00:07:48,880
\nworking.
\nHe was working, looking after <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:48,880 –> 00:07:51,960
\nthe tree as he said, putting out
\nthe branches, perhaps irrigating<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:51,960 –> 00:07:54,760
\nit so that he may get fruit.
\nBut then it says but. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:54,920 –> 00:08:00,840
\nHe who looks after or waits for
\nhis master, he’ll be on it. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:02,080 –> 00:08:05,160
\nAnd if he was thinking about
\nthis proverb, so Valley was <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:05,160 –> 00:08:06,760
\ndoing his daily work.
\nHe was thinking about the <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:06,760 –> 00:08:08,520
\nScriptures.
\nAll the time. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:09,160 –> 00:08:11,120
\nLet me say that if you’re an
\naccountant that you must stop <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:11,280 –> 00:08:13,000
\ndoing your accounting and
\nthinking about the Scriptures. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:13,000 –> 00:08:16,680
\nBut if you can, in whatever
\nsituation you find yourself, <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:17,560 –> 00:08:20,120
\nmake those biblical connections.
\nHe was working with the fig <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:20,120 –> 00:08:21,320
\ntree.
\nBut what does the Bible say <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:21,320 –> 00:08:24,480
\nabout the fig tree?
\nWho should tent? <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:24,480 –> 00:08:26,640
\nThe fig tree will eat its fruit
\nand who? <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:26,760 –> 00:08:28,800
\nWaits for his Master will be
\nhonoured. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:32,480
\nHe was waiting for the Master.
\nHe was waiting for the Messiah <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:32,480 –> 00:08:36,400
\nof Israel to come and just by
\nthat one sentence with Jesus <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:36,400 –> 00:08:40,200
\nsaid when you’re under the fig
\ntree, I saw that clinched him, <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:42,760
\nthe matic.
\nJesus could read his mind, He <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:42,760 –> 00:08:46,560
\nwas waiting for his Master and
\nJesus presented him as the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:46,560 –> 00:08:50,520
\nMaster.
\nSo it it shows pregnancy so that<\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:50,520 –> 00:08:54,160
\nwe need to be thinking about the
\nscriptures all the time. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:55,280 –> 00:08:58,360
\nSo there’s substance to the
\npromise of God to David. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:58,360 –> 00:09:01,080
\nI will set up thy seat after he
\nwhich shall proceed out of thy <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:03,080
\nbells, and I’ll establish his
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:03,080 –> 00:09:05,920
\nI’ll be his father, and he shall
\nbe my son. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:06,240 –> 00:09:08,440
\nAnd so the greatest son of
\nDavid, who would sit on the <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:08,440 –> 00:09:11,440
\nthrone, was also the son of God,
\nand that Nathaniel. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:11,440 –> 00:09:15,280
\nBelieved that and he was waiting
\nfor him and therefore Jesus <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:15,360 –> 00:09:18,960
\ncalled him because he was fully
\nconvinced that Jesus was that <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:21,680
\nmaster that he had been waiting
\nfor. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:22,360 –> 00:09:25,680
\nSo it teaches us that whatever
\nwe are doing at any given time, <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:25,920 –> 00:09:29,920
\nwhenever the opportunity arises,
\nwe should be thinking on God’s <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:29,920 –> 00:09:32,320
\nWord and making the right
\nconnections. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:32,520 –> 00:09:35,480
\nYou never know what kind of
\nanswer you may get. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:37,000 –> 00:09:39,720
\nNow the other two events took
\nplace in Cana of Galilee. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:40,320 –> 00:09:43,480
\nThe 1st and the second.
\nMiraculous signs were given <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:43,480 –> 00:09:48,760
\nthere, but the word for a sign
\ncomes from the Greek same, Mayan<\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:48,760 –> 00:09:51,280
\nand it.
\nIt’s kind of a miracle or <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:55,240
\nsomething that is done in
\nconfirmation of something else. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:56,040 –> 00:10:00,480
\nSo what were the signs and what
\ndid they confirm then? <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:00,480 –> 00:10:07,880
\nChapter 2 of John and 1st 9:00.
\nWe read that at that wedding <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:07,880 –> 00:10:12,640
\nfeast, there were six stone
\nwater jars. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:13,120 –> 00:10:16,760
\nThe kind that were used by the
\nJews for ceremonial washing, as <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:16,760 –> 00:10:21,520
\nit says there in verse 6.
\nAnd those stone vessels have <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:21,520 –> 00:10:23,880
\nbeen found in the excavations,
\nin many excavations. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:23,880 –> 00:10:25,360
\nYou can see they’re on on the
\nright. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:29,200
\nThey’re about so high.
\nThey contain about 20 or 30 <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:29,560 –> 00:10:32,560
\nlitres of waters.
\nAnd they used to ceremoniously <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:32,560 –> 00:10:34,200
\nwash their hands and and their
\nfeet. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:38,280
\nRing came from a long journey.
\nAccording to the tradition of <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:38,280 –> 00:10:42,120
\nthe Jews.
\nSo those vessels represented the<\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:42,120 –> 00:10:45,920
\ntradition of the Jews and they
\nwere empty. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:47,840 –> 00:10:51,760
\nThey didn’t work because the
\ntradition of the Jews can’t give<\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:51,760 –> 00:10:55,200
\nyou salvation at all.
\nAnd therefore. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:55,240 –> 00:11:02,000
\nJesus told them in verse 7 to
\nthe servants fill the water pots<\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:02,000 –> 00:11:05,760
\nwith water and they fill them up
\nto the brim. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:08,200 –> 00:11:11,480
\nBut Jesus at at another place he
\nsays you’ve had go of the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:11,480 –> 00:11:15,280
\ncommands of God and you hold on
\nfast onto the tradition of men <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:15,280 –> 00:11:17,120
\nas the washing of pots and of
\ncups. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:21,960
\nVery important in Jewish life.
\nBut Jesus changed that water <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:22,960 –> 00:11:35,860
\ninto wine, into new wine.
\nIf you go to Luke chapter 5 then<\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:35,860 –> 00:11:38,220
\nwe can see what that wine
\nrepresents. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:43,880 –> 00:11:48,480
\nHe says in chapter 5 and verse
\n37 and verse 38. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:52,120 –> 00:11:54,800
\nIf verse 36 for connection, you
\nspeak also a parable to them. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:57,280
\nNo man puts a piece of new
\ngarment upon an old. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:57,480 –> 00:12:01,120
\nIf otherwise, then both the new
\nmakers of rent and the piece <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:01,120 –> 00:12:03,640
\nthat was taken out of the new
\nagrees, not just the old. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:03,880 –> 00:12:08,280
\nNo man puts new wine into old
\nbottles, else the new wine will <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:08,280 –> 00:12:10,640
\nburst the bottles and be
\nspilled, and the bottles shall <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:10,640 –> 00:12:12,920
\nperish.
\nBut new wine must be put into <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:12,920 –> 00:12:15,600
\nnew bottles, and both are
\npreserved. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:16,080 –> 00:12:20,040
\nNo one, having drank old wine,
\nstraightway desires new. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:20,040 –> 00:12:22,320
\nFree says the old is.
\nIt’s easier. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:22,680 –> 00:12:25,760
\nIt was easier to just wash your
\nhands and your feet and you <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:25,760 –> 00:12:29,840
\nthink you’re all right, but to
\nhave new wine in yourself. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:29,840 –> 00:12:34,360
\nThe wine of the new covenant
\ndemands from us that we are new <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:37,080
\ncreatures and that is what he
\nwas teaching. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:37,320 –> 00:12:40,840
\nHe was showing he was the
\nmediator of the new covenant and<\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:45,000
\nthat was expressed in that new
\nwine, changing the water into <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:47,600
\nwine and interestingly, the
\nservants who. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:47,600 –> 00:12:50,560
\nDrew the water.
\nThey knew where the water came <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:50,560 –> 00:12:53,040
\nfrom.
\nLike it says in the vasudevra, <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:53,320 –> 00:12:57,720
\nThose that that are the drawers
\nof water they rehearsed. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:57,880 –> 00:13:02,360
\nThe mighty acts of Yahweh.
\nSo that new wine represents a <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:02,360 –> 00:13:05,760
\nnew covenant, and to be take
\npart of it, as the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:05,760 –> 00:13:08,960
\nexplains, if we are in Christ,
\nwe must be a new creation. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:09,240 –> 00:13:13,240
\nThe old is fading away and the
\nnew one has come. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:14,440 –> 00:13:18,000
\nSo that was the the first sign
\nwhich these did in Cana was then<\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:21,600
\nto take away the old covenant of
\nthe Jews, which was empty in any<\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:25,760
\ncase, and to present them as the
\nnew covenant represented by that<\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:25,760 –> 00:13:30,000
\nnew wine.
\nThat was the first sign which <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:36,480
\nJesus did in Cana of Galilee.
\nIf you go to chapter 4 we can <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:36,480 –> 00:13:46,280
\nsee the He went later back again
\nto Cana just reading John <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:46,280 –> 00:13:50,480
\nchapter 4 verse 46.
\nSo Jesus came again into Cana of<\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:50,480 –> 00:13:55,160
\nGalilee, same place where he had
\nmade the water vine, and there <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:55,160 –> 00:13:57,880
\nwas a certain nobleman whose son
\nwas sick at Capernaum. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:58,360 –> 00:14:00,840
\nWhen he heard that Jesus was
\ncome out of Judea into Galilee, <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:00,840 –> 00:14:04,080
\nhe went unto him and besought
\nhim that he would come down and <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:04,080 –> 00:14:06,680
\nheal his son, for he was at the
\npoint of death. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:07,400 –> 00:14:10,120
\nThen Jesus said unto him, Except
\nyou see signs and wonders, he <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:10,120 –> 00:14:13,600
\nwill not believe.
\nThe nobleman says unto him, Sir,<\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:13,600 –> 00:14:18,320
\ncome down, hear my child die.
\nAnd Jesus said unto him, Go thy <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:18,320 –> 00:14:22,520
\nway, thy son liveth.
\nAnd a man believed the word that<\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:22,520 –> 00:14:25,720
\nJesus had spoken to him, and he
\nwent his way, not like <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:25,720 –> 00:14:27,600
\nZacharias, who didn’t believe
\nthe Angel. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:30,680
\nAnd now as he was going down,
\nhis servants met him, and told <\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:30,680 –> 00:14:34,440
\nhim to say, Thy son liveth.
\nThen inquiry of them the hour <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:34,640 –> 00:14:38,040
\nwhen he began to amend, and they
\nsent him yesterday, the 7th <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:38,040 –> 00:14:41,000
\nhour, the fever left him.
\nSo the Father knew that was at <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:44,560
\nthe same hour in the which Jesus
\nsaid unto him, Thy Son liveth, <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:45,160 –> 00:14:47,360
\nand himself believed, and his
\nwhole house. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:47,640 –> 00:14:51,760
\nThis again the second sign that
\nJesus did when he was come out <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:57,480
\nof Tutia into Galilee.
\nSo the first sign was to bring <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:57,480 –> 00:15:01,720
\nthe new covenant and the second
\nsign was to make some. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:01,720 –> 00:15:05,680
\nHe was about to die alive again.
\nAnd it’s the essence of what we <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:05,680 –> 00:15:08,640
\nbelieve by the sisters.
\nWe believe, as we remember every<\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:08,640 –> 00:15:10,400
\nSunday, by the drinking of that
\ncup of. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:10,400 –> 00:15:14,120
\nWine that Jesus has.
\nIs the mediator of that new <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:14,120 –> 00:15:16,160
\ncovenant.
\nAnd if you follow him, then we <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:18,080
\ncan be saved.
\nAnd then he comes back the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:18,080 –> 00:15:22,400
\nsecond time, like he came back
\nto the second time to Canaan. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:22,680 –> 00:15:26,000
\nHe was raised the dead.
\nThat’s why it was happened. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:26,160 –> 00:15:29,440
\nIt’s why it happened in Canaan.
\nBut you ask, well, why must <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:29,440 –> 00:15:33,680
\nthose two sides be done in the
\nsame place in Canaan? <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:34,000 –> 00:15:36,520
\nWhy can’t we have one in Canada
\nand 1:00 in? <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:36,760 –> 00:15:41,280
\nCardiff, where we live, so I
\nthink that the Hebrew comes to <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:41,640 –> 00:15:45,840
\nour help.
\nThe name Cana is very closely <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:45,840 –> 00:15:51,640
\nrelated to the first son of Adam
\nand Eve called Cain when in <\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:51,640 –> 00:15:54,600
\nchapter 4 of Genesis.
\nIn the first one he said I’ve <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:59,200
\ngotten or purchased a man,
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:01,480 –> 00:16:07,280
\nThe word Cana in Hebrew means
\npurchased and we know that Jesus<\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:07,280 –> 00:16:10,960
\nhas purchased us through his
\nblood. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:11,000 –> 00:16:13,240
\nThe references, you know them
\nvery well indeed. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:14,040 –> 00:16:19,960
\nAnd so it was essential premises
\nthat that second sign was done <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:20,040 –> 00:16:27,000
\nin cana as well because the dead
\nwill be raised only if they are <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:30,360
\npart of the new covenant.
\nJesus came first to bring the <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:35,280
\nnew covenant and the purchased
\none that respond to the blood of<\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:35,280 –> 00:16:38,280
\nthe covenant.
\nThey the second time when Christ<\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:41,480
\ncomes, they’ll be raised.
\nSo the secret is in the name <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:41,560 –> 00:16:45,760
\nKayla a very important place.
\nThe meaning means the purchased <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:45,760 –> 00:16:48,320
\nones.
\nAnd so we should do all our <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:48,320 –> 00:16:52,640
\nbread, our best bread, and
\nsisters, that when we take that <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:52,640 –> 00:16:57,280
\ncup of that new wine that we
\nalso believe the right. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:57,280 –> 00:17:01,200
\nThings that, as Tim said this
\nmorning, that we study the <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:01,200 –> 00:17:04,359
\nScriptures so that we know what
\nto believe. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:07,800
\nAnd as we understand how we are
\npurchased by the blood of Christ<\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:08,079 –> 00:17:11,640
\nand how we must change our life
\nto live a life like the Lord <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:11,640 –> 00:17:14,760
\nJesus Christ, because by his
\nlife I’ll be saved by following <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:14,760 –> 00:17:16,200
\nhim.
\nAnd then when he comes back the <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:19,000
\nsecond time, he will raise us
\nfrom the dead. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:19,200 –> 00:17:22,119
\nThat is the power of that place
\nin Canaan. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:24,079 –> 00:17:29,480
\nAfter he went to Canaan, he went
\nto Capernaum, as we’ve just been<\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:29,480 –> 00:17:33,400
\nreading in chapter 2 of of the
\nchapter. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:34,120 –> 00:17:38,280
\nNow Capernaum means the place of
\ncomfort. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:38,440 –> 00:17:40,840
\nKfar Nahum it’s called in
\nHebrew. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:41,120 –> 00:17:44,040
\nKfar is the name for a village
\nand Nahum. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:44,360 –> 00:17:45,600
\nIt’s called a.
\nPerson’s name. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:45,600 –> 00:17:48,040
\nWe don’t know who it was.
\nDon’t think it was the Prophet’s<\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:48,040 –> 00:17:50,120
\nname, but the.
\nName Name means. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:50,600 –> 00:17:55,040
\nComfort, the village of Comfort,
\nand that is why Jesus went to <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:55,040 –> 00:17:57,920
\nlive there.
\nSo we can imagine that he came <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:57,920 –> 00:17:58,960
\nthere.
\nHe must have. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:59,120 –> 00:18:01,680
\nWhen he came back, after he was
\nbaptized, he went to Nazareth. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:02,000 –> 00:18:05,080
\nHe passed by suffrage where he
\nwas had been working all his <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:05,080 –> 00:18:10,040
\nlife and then he was in Cana.
\nFrom Cana he went to Capernaum. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:11,360 –> 00:18:14,800
\nNow Capernaum is on a very
\nimportant Rd. that goes from the<\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:14,800 –> 00:18:17,120
\nnorth.
\nFrom Damascus the Viamaris <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:17,120 –> 00:18:21,360
\npasses by Capernaum and then
\ngoes down by Bachemis, go <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:21,360 –> 00:18:24,320
\nthrough Megiddo all the way down
\nto Egypt. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:24,320 –> 00:18:29,040
\nSo the location of Nazareth is
\nvery important and you can walk <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:29,040 –> 00:18:34,320
\nactually from Cana to to
\nCapernaum as my wife and I doing<\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:34,320 –> 00:18:36,200
\nhere.
\nAnd you walk here over a past, <\/p>\n
291
\n00:18:36,200 –> 00:18:37,680
\nyou can walk over the Jesus
\nTrail. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:37,680 –> 00:18:41,200
\nNowadays it takes you four days
\nto walk from Nazareth to <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:42,800
\nCapernaum.
\nSo you go through the horns of <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:46,760
\nHathi through this valley and
\nthere is Capernaum at the north <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:46,800 –> 00:18:49,320
\neastern corner of the Sea of
\nGalilee. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:50,080 –> 00:18:54,800
\nNow it was an important harbour.
\nExcavations have shown that <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:54,800 –> 00:18:58,200
\nthese Piers at low water level
\ncan still be seen. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:01,600
\nThere’s a synagogue here and
\nwhat most people point out as <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:01,600 –> 00:19:07,360
\nthe House of of Peter.
\nSo along the shoreline we can <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:07,360 –> 00:19:10,800
\nlook back at the Horns of Hathan
\nis the valley that comes from <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:10,800 –> 00:19:13,280
\nCapernaum, from Nazareth and
\nCana. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:13,280 –> 00:19:14,920
\nAnd then you can walk in down
\nhere. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:18,040
\nBut you can still see the
\nremains of the harbour here, <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:18,040 –> 00:19:21,920
\nthese stone piles coming out
\nwhere the ships were anchored <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:22,640 –> 00:19:25,560
\nand coming to Capernaum.
\nBut this is what it looks like <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:25,640 –> 00:19:28,160
\ntoday.
\nIs the Franciscan monastery <\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:33,280
\nhere, the excavations in a
\nmonstrous museum built over the <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:33,280 –> 00:19:35,400
\nHouse of Peter.
\nIt must have looked something <\/p>\n
309
\n00:19:35,400 –> 00:19:39,520
\nlike this when Christ went to
\nlive in Capernaum, a harbour <\/p>\n
310
\n00:19:39,520 –> 00:19:42,560
\ncity with all those Piers coming
\nout where the boats could be <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:42,560 –> 00:19:47,680
\nanchored, warehouses along the
\nsign, a House of of toll where <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:51,080
\nyou had to pay some taxes, where
\nMatthew the tax collector came <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:51,080 –> 00:19:54,320
\nfrom, a synagogue and the houses
\nall around. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:54,320 –> 00:19:57,240
\nThat is the village where Jesus
\nwent to live. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:57,400 –> 00:20:00,520
\nHe made it his home.
\nHere you can see the synagogue <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:00,520 –> 00:20:04,760
\nof Capernaum made his white
\nlimestone blocks, but that is a <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:04,760 –> 00:20:09,120
\nByzantine synagogue.
\nBut next with is the school <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:09,120 –> 00:20:12,960
\nroom, the madrasah where all the
\nJewish boys. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:17,360
\nGo to school, they learned
\nHebrew to read and to write, and<\/p>\n
320
\n00:20:17,360 –> 00:20:20,560
\nthese would have been to a
\nsimilar school in Nazareth as a <\/p>\n
321
\n00:20:20,560 –> 00:20:24,760
\nJewish boy.
\nBut below the white synagogue of<\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:24,760 –> 00:20:29,520
\nthe 4th century, there’s a black
\nwall of Baselt that belonged to <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:29,520 –> 00:20:32,240
\nthe synagogue.
\nOf Capernaum from the time of <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:32,240 –> 00:20:35,040
\nChrist.
\nAnd inside you can see the <\/p>\n
325
\n00:20:35,040 –> 00:20:38,880
\ninside walls and some of the
\nwalls that belong to that <\/p>\n
326
\n00:20:38,880 –> 00:20:42,320
\nsynagogue.
\nSo we know that Kapeni was a <\/p>\n
327
\n00:20:42,320 –> 00:20:45,600
\nlarge fishing village located on
\nthe North Shore of the Sea of <\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:45,600 –> 00:20:48,760
\nGalilee, about 3 miles southwest
\nof the place where the River <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:48,760 –> 00:20:51,440
\nJordan entered the lake.
\nWe’ve seen it later on. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:52,160 –> 00:20:56,600
\nSo it’s the village of Comfort.
\nAnd that is where Jesus spent <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:56,600 –> 00:20:58,360
\nsome time and he made it his
\nhome. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:58,360 –> 00:21:01,680
\nActually.
\nNow it is located, as I said <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:01,680 –> 00:21:05,000
\nearlier, on an important Rd.
\nthat goes from Damascus all the <\/p>\n
334
\n00:21:05,000 –> 00:21:07,360
\nway down to Egypt called the
\nViamaris. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:07,840 –> 00:21:12,520
\nIt was a major trade route
\nconnecting Egypt via Caesarea <\/p>\n
336
\n00:21:12,520 –> 00:21:14,760
\nand Damascus even Miss
\nMesopotamia. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:21:14,760 –> 00:21:19,640
\nIf you go to Matthew chapter 4,
\nyou see how useful that location<\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:19,640 –> 00:21:23,680
\nwas, because in Matthew chapter
\n4. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:37,280 –> 00:21:41,320
\nWe read there in verse 24 that
\nJesus went about all Galilee <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:41,320 –> 00:21:44,360
\nteaching in their synagogues and
\npreaching the Kingdom of the the<\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:44,360 –> 00:21:47,160
\ngospel of the Kingdom and
\nhealing all men of sickness and <\/p>\n
342
\n00:21:47,160 –> 00:21:48,880
\nall men of disease among the
\npeople. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:21:49,120 –> 00:21:51,480
\nAnd his fame went throughout all
\nSyria. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:52,160 –> 00:21:55,240
\nHow did it get there?
\nThrough the road that passed by <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:55,240 –> 00:21:57,640
\nin a Capernaum.
\nIt was a trading route. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:00,320
\nSo people heard the gospel being
\npreached in in that, in <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:03,280
\nCapernaum, in the surrounding
\nvillages, and they took it with <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:03,280 –> 00:22:07,600
\nthem all the way into Syria.
\nSo it was an important location <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:07,600 –> 00:22:10,880
\nfor preaching the truth.
\nIf you want to preach the truth,<\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:11,160 –> 00:22:13,800
\nthere’s no point sitting some on
\nthe North Pole because you can <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:13,800 –> 00:22:17,240
\nonly preach to Penguins.
\nGo to a place where people come <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:17,240 –> 00:22:21,360
\ntogether and speak to them.
\nThat’s why Jesus chose <\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:25,600
\nCapernaum, because it was a very
\nsuitable starting point for his <\/p>\n
354
\n00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:28,320
\npreaching circuit.
\nHe made at least three recorded <\/p>\n
355
\n00:22:28,320 –> 00:22:31,720
\ncircuits that all started and
\nended in Capernaum. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:22:33,040 –> 00:22:37,520
\nSo there was a Roman Garrison.
\nAnd the the the the commander <\/p>\n
357
\n00:22:37,520 –> 00:22:39,440
\nthe sent too.
\nHe had even built a synagogue <\/p>\n
358
\n00:22:39,440 –> 00:22:43,720
\nfor the Jewish people.
\nSo it is a place where Jesus <\/p>\n
359
\n00:22:43,720 –> 00:22:49,520
\nlived after he was rejected by.
\nNazareth not that he didn’t own <\/p>\n
360
\n00:22:49,520 –> 00:22:52,560
\nhis own house.
\nWe can read here that after he <\/p>\n
361
\n00:22:52,560 –> 00:22:55,760
\nleft Nazareth, he came and dwelt
\na Capernaum which is upon the <\/p>\n
362
\n00:22:55,760 –> 00:22:58,920
\nseacoast in the borders of
\nZeblon and Naftali. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:22:59,560 –> 00:23:02,040
\nIt.
\nA sort of fulfillment of another<\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:02,040 –> 00:23:06,640
\nprophecy, the prophecy of Isaiah
\nsaying the Lent of Zebulon and <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:06,640 –> 00:23:09,640
\nthe Lent of Naftrai by the way
\nof the sea beyond Jordan, <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:09,920 –> 00:23:14,720
\nGalilee of the Gentiles.
\nNow what does that mean in the <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:19,240
\ntime frame of the prophecy of
\nIsaiah himself? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:20,360 –> 00:23:27,640
\nYou see, in the time of Isaiah
\nwe have the coming up of the <\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:27,640 –> 00:23:31,160
\ngreat Assyrian Empire under
\nTiglak. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:31,440 –> 00:23:37,160
\nTiglak Paliza, the 3rd pool was
\nby the way his royal Babylonian <\/p>\n
371
\n00:23:37,160 –> 00:23:40,120
\nname.
\nHe founded his empire, and in <\/p>\n
372
\n00:23:40,120 –> 00:23:44,920
\nthe face of that threat, Resin
\nof Damascus and Menachem of <\/p>\n
373
\n00:23:44,920 –> 00:23:50,600
\nIsrael, they made a a pact.
\nAnd they paid tribute to Tiglak <\/p>\n
374
\n00:23:50,600 –> 00:23:54,080
\nPaliza.
\nGo to 2nd Kings 15 and verse 19.<\/p>\n
375
\n00:23:55,920 –> 00:24:01,280
\nSecond Kings 15 We see then the
\noriginal background of this <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:01,320 –> 00:24:11,120
\nprophecy of Isaiah Chapter 9, in
\nthe days of Pika, king of <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:11,120 –> 00:24:13,280
\nIsrael.
\nThat’s exactly the time of the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:13,280 –> 00:24:16,320
\nprophecy of Isaiah.
\nCame Thiklar Paliza, king of <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:16,320 –> 00:24:21,440
\nAssyria, and took Ion Abbabed,
\nMahaka, Janova and Kaigis and <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:21,440 –> 00:24:24,840
\nKhatzour and Gilet and Galilee,
\nall the land of Naftali, and <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:24,840 –> 00:24:26,720
\ncarried them away captive to
\nSyria. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:27,480 –> 00:24:31,120
\nAnd Hoshiya, the son of Elah,
\nmade a conspiracy against Pika, <\/p>\n
383
\n00:24:31,120 –> 00:24:34,160
\nthe son of Himalayan, smote him
\nand threw him and reigned in his<\/p>\n
384
\n00:24:34,160 –> 00:24:36,320
\ndead.
\nThat happened in the 20th year <\/p>\n
385
\n00:24:36,600 –> 00:24:41,400
\nof Isaiah, now earlier.
\nMenachem. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:24:42,040 –> 00:24:46,040
\nSo I should have read verse 19.
\nPaul the king of Shi came <\/p>\n
387
\n00:24:46,040 –> 00:24:49,600
\nagainst the land, and Menachem
\ngave Paul 1000 talents of silver<\/p>\n
388
\n00:24:49,760 –> 00:24:52,520
\nthat his hand might be with him
\nto confirm the Kingdom in his <\/p>\n
389
\n00:24:52,520 –> 00:24:54,640
\nhand.
\nAnd Malachim exactly the money <\/p>\n
390
\n00:24:54,640 –> 00:24:57,800
\nof Israel, even all the mighty
\nmen of wealth, each men 50 <\/p>\n
391
\n00:24:57,800 –> 00:24:59,920
\nshekels of silver to give to the
\nking of Assyria. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:00,320 –> 00:25:03,280
\nSo the king of Assyria turned
\nback and stayed not in the land.<\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:04,960 –> 00:25:08,440
\nBut then later on, that’s the
\nfirst I first read in verse 29 <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:08,440 –> 00:25:09,720
\nand 30.
\nSorry for that. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:11,160 –> 00:25:15,840
\nPica And Rezian wants to make
\nthe pact with Assyria, but <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:16,680 –> 00:25:19,360
\nagainst Assyria.
\nBut Ahas who was then king of <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:19,360 –> 00:25:24,040
\nJudah refused.
\nIn verse 37 of the same chapter <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:24,400 –> 00:25:27,720
\nit says in those days Yah began
\nto send against Judah resent <\/p>\n
399
\n00:25:27,720 –> 00:25:31,240
\nking of Syria and Pika the son
\nof Rabbaniya and Jotham slapped <\/p>\n
400
\n00:25:31,240 –> 00:25:32,720
\nhis father.
\nIf you look at the map here, <\/p>\n
401
\n00:25:33,160 –> 00:25:37,120
\nwhat happened was because Judah
\nking Ayas didn’t want to join an<\/p>\n
402
\n00:25:37,120 –> 00:25:41,360
\nanti Assyrian alliance.
\nThe Syrians now. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:25:41,360 –> 00:25:46,320
\nCame together with Menachem of
\nIsrael here. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:25:46,320 –> 00:25:50,960
\nFrom here they came into Israel
\nand they started to besiege <\/p>\n
405
\n00:25:51,160 –> 00:25:56,200
\nJerusalem and that is when Ayas
\nappealed to Tiglak Paliza for <\/p>\n
406
\n00:25:56,400 –> 00:26:00,000
\nhelp.
\nIn chapter 16, you can read in <\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:08,720
\nverse 7 there’s to help him out
\nagainst Syria and Israel. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:09,920 –> 00:26:14,080
\nIn verse 7, Ahaz sent messengers
\nto Tigler Paliza, king of <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:14,080 –> 00:26:17,120
\nAssyria, saying, I’m thy servant
\nand thy son come up and save me <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:17,320 –> 00:26:19,960
\nout of the hand of the king of
\nSyria and out of the hand of the<\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:19,960 –> 00:26:21,640
\nking of Israel, which rise up
\nagainst me. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:21,840 –> 00:26:24,840
\nThey became turncoats and now
\nwent against Judah. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:25,520 –> 00:26:28,120
\nSo Ahaz took the silver and the
\ngold that was found in the House<\/p>\n
414
\n00:26:28,120 –> 00:26:30,880
\nof Yahweh and at the tragedy of
\nthe King’s house, and sent it <\/p>\n
415
\n00:26:30,880 –> 00:26:33,000
\nfor a present to the king of
\nAssyria. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:26:33,600 –> 00:26:35,200
\nAnd the king of Syria hearkened
\nto him. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:26:35,200 –> 00:26:38,360
\nFor the king of Syria went up
\nagainst Damascus and took it and<\/p>\n
418
\n00:26:38,360 –> 00:26:41,360
\ncarried the people captive, took
\nher and slew resin. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:26:43,240 –> 00:26:49,760
\nSo King Ahas, he saved his skin
\nfor a while, but that came at a <\/p>\n
420
\n00:26:49,760 –> 00:26:55,360
\nprice because later on the king
\nof Syria made him pay a huge <\/p>\n
421
\n00:26:55,360 –> 00:27:00,120
\namount of money and.
\nAs you can see here, he came in <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:00,120 –> 00:27:03,880
\nafter all and took the whole of
\nthe northern part of Israel and <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:03,880 –> 00:27:05,520
\nactually came to Jerusalem as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:05,880 –> 00:27:09,280
\nAnd we know that at that time,
\nGeng Ahaz died. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:09,600 –> 00:27:13,440
\nAnd his son Hezekiah, he kept
\nthe people of Judah free from <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:13,440 –> 00:27:17,040
\nthe Assyrian ascendancy.
\nAnd that may have been a direct <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:17,040 –> 00:27:21,000
\nfulfillment of Isaiah Chapter 9.
\nLet’s go to Isaiah 9 now that we<\/p>\n
428
\n00:27:21,000 –> 00:27:38,160
\nread about that prophecy.
\nJust nevertheless the dintness <\/p>\n
429
\n00:27:39,240 –> 00:27:42,440
\nshall not be such as was in a
\nvexation when at the first He <\/p>\n
430
\n00:27:42,440 –> 00:27:44,440
\nlightly afflicted the land of
\nZebulun. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:27:44,680 –> 00:27:47,400
\nAnd the land of Naftri was the
\nfirst invasion of the Syrian, <\/p>\n
432
\n00:27:47,760 –> 00:27:50,520
\nbut after it did more grievously
\nafflict her by the way of the <\/p>\n
433
\n00:27:50,520 –> 00:27:53,640
\nsea beyond Jordan, in Galilee of
\nthe nations. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:27:53,840 –> 00:27:57,320
\nThat’s the prophecy in Matthew,
\nwhich has been mentioned here to<\/p>\n
435
\n00:27:57,400 –> 00:27:59,560
\nindicate that Jesus had to live
\nin Capernaum. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:27:59,840 –> 00:28:03,200
\nBut then it says the people that
\nwalked in darkness of the <\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:03,200 –> 00:28:06,560
\nAssyrian threat and invasion
\nhave seen a great light. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:07,240 –> 00:28:09,640
\nThey could dwell in the land of
\nthe shadow of death. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:16,080
\nUpon them has the light shined.
\nWell, who was that light in the <\/p>\n
440
\n00:28:16,080 –> 00:28:19,320
\ntime of Isaiah?
\nIf you go to chapter 1 of Isaiah<\/p>\n
441
\n00:28:19,480 –> 00:28:23,000
\nand first one, we can see in
\nwhich time he lived exactly in <\/p>\n
442
\n00:28:23,000 –> 00:28:25,720
\nthis particular time.
\nIt’s the vision of Isaiah, the <\/p>\n
443
\n00:28:25,720 –> 00:28:28,800
\nson of Amas, which he saw
\nconcerning Judah and Jerusalem <\/p>\n
444
\n00:28:29,120 –> 00:28:33,640
\nin the days of Isaiah, Jotham,
\nAhaz and Hezekiah. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:28:35,440 –> 00:28:39,800
\nThat was Hezekiah that saved him
\nfrom the Assyrian threat because<\/p>\n
446
\n00:28:39,920 –> 00:28:44,360
\nGod didn’t allow the Assyrians
\nto take Jerusalem and so he was <\/p>\n
447
\n00:28:44,360 –> 00:28:48,280
\nthe first fulfilment.
\nOf that great light that was <\/p>\n
448
\n00:28:48,280 –> 00:28:51,840
\nshining to the people there in
\nthe north of the land of Israel.<\/p>\n
449
\n00:28:53,600 –> 00:28:56,840
\nAnd the ultimate fulfilment is
\nof course the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
450
\n00:28:58,160 –> 00:29:03,120
\nNow the Jews in those days, they
\nlive also under domination of <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:03,120 –> 00:29:07,120
\nthe Romans and.
\nThey wanted to be free of the <\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:07,120 –> 00:29:10,400
\nRoman domination, just like in
\nthe time of Ayas. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:13,240
\nThey wanted to be free of the
\nAssyrian domination. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:14,000 –> 00:29:18,040
\nIf Hezekiah is indeed that light
\nof which the the prophet Isaiah <\/p>\n
455
\n00:29:18,040 –> 00:29:20,800
\nin Chapter 9 was speaking out,
\nthe people that walked in <\/p>\n
456
\n00:29:20,800 –> 00:29:23,880
\ndarkness have seen a great light
\nthat may initially have been <\/p>\n
457
\n00:29:23,880 –> 00:29:27,320
\nHezekiah, but ultimately it was
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:29:27,520 –> 00:29:31,480
\nHe was that great light that
\nshines into the world. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:29:32,600 –> 00:29:34,800
\nAnd people knew.
\nThat at that time because they <\/p>\n
460
\n00:29:34,800 –> 00:29:36,880
\nwanted to be free of the Roman
\ndomination. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:29:37,680 –> 00:29:41,480
\nEven in Acts chapter 1, after
\nJesus was about to go up to to <\/p>\n
462
\n00:29:41,480 –> 00:29:44,080
\nto heaven to his Father, he
\nsaid, will thou at this time <\/p>\n
463
\n00:29:44,080 –> 00:29:47,440
\nrestore the Kingdom to Israel?
\nThe only thing they want to be <\/p>\n
464
\n00:29:47,440 –> 00:29:49,680
\nfree of the Roman.
\nDomination, like in the time of <\/p>\n
465
\n00:29:49,680 –> 00:29:53,960
\nIsaiah, they want to be free of
\nthe the Syrian domination. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:29:54,640 –> 00:29:58,800
\nBut he was the true light that
\nshines in the darkness, and then<\/p>\n
467
\n00:29:58,800 –> 00:30:00,640
\nthe darkness had not understood
\nit. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:01,400 –> 00:30:04,840
\nThe people did not understand
\nthe continuation of Isaiah <\/p>\n
469
\n00:30:04,840 –> 00:30:07,600
\nChapter 9.
\nIf you’re still there, then look<\/p>\n
470
\n00:30:07,600 –> 00:30:10,560
\nat verse 6.
\nHere is the true light <\/p>\n
471
\n00:30:10,680 –> 00:30:13,680
\nprophesied.
\nSays For until as a child is <\/p>\n
472
\n00:30:13,680 –> 00:30:17,560
\nborn, until as a son is given,
\nand the government shall be upon<\/p>\n
473
\n00:30:17,560 –> 00:30:21,560
\nhis shoulder, his name shall be
\ncalled wonderful councillor, the<\/p>\n
474
\n00:30:21,560 –> 00:30:25,720
\nmighty God, the everlasting
\nFather, and the Prince of peace,<\/p>\n
475
\n00:30:25,960 –> 00:30:28,160
\nOf the increase of his
\ngovernment and peace, there <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:28,160 –> 00:30:31,000
\nshall be no end.
\nUpon the throne of David, and <\/p>\n
477
\n00:30:31,000 –> 00:30:33,880
\nupon his Kingdom, to order it,
\nand to establish it with <\/p>\n
478
\n00:30:33,880 –> 00:30:37,240
\njudgment and his justice.
\nFrom henceforth, even forever. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:30:37,480 –> 00:30:41,320
\nThe zeal of Yah of hosts will
\nperform this. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:30:44,000 –> 00:30:47,840
\nSo well this is that is why
\nJesus had to go to Capernaum to <\/p>\n
481
\n00:30:47,840 –> 00:30:51,840
\nfulfil this prophecy.
\nThe name Hezekiah, I mean Yah is<\/p>\n
482
\n00:30:51,840 –> 00:30:55,560
\nmy strength.
\nAnd Jesus came to show that His <\/p>\n
483
\n00:30:55,560 –> 00:30:59,720
\nstrength came from God after he
\nwas closed upon with the Holy <\/p>\n
484
\n00:30:59,720 –> 00:31:01,720
\nSpirit.
\nBut he was baptised in Beit <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:01,720 –> 00:31:04,120
\nAbara at the end of the river
\nJordan. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:31:05,280 –> 00:31:08,280
\nBut nevertheless, several
\ndisciples came from Capernaum, <\/p>\n
487
\n00:31:08,280 –> 00:31:11,320
\nlike Andrew and Peter, James and
\nJohn and Matthew the tax <\/p>\n
488
\n00:31:11,320 –> 00:31:13,200
\ncollector.
\nHe may have had his little <\/p>\n
489
\n00:31:13,200 –> 00:31:16,320
\noffice right next to the
\nharbour, taking all the taxes <\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:16,320 –> 00:31:19,400
\nfrom the traders.
\nAnd he’s did many signs of <\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:19,400 –> 00:31:21,760
\nCapernaum.
\nTime won’t allow me to go <\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:21,760 –> 00:31:25,280
\nthrough all of them.
\nI just read out a few. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:31:25,520 –> 00:31:28,640
\nThe catch of the miraculous.
\nThe miraculous catch of the fish<\/p>\n
494
\n00:31:28,760 –> 00:31:30,800
\nin loop 5 to place near
\nCapernaum. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:31:31,280 –> 00:31:34,480
\nThe healing of the faithful
\ncenturion servant in Capernaum. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:31:35,000 –> 00:31:39,000
\nJesus healed Peter’s
\nmother-in-law in Capernaum, the <\/p>\n
497
\n00:31:39,000 –> 00:31:43,120
\ndaughter of Jairus was healed in
\nCapernaum, and the woman who had<\/p>\n
498
\n00:31:43,120 –> 00:31:46,720
\nbeen subject to bleeding for 12
\nyears was healed in Capernaum. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:31:47,120 –> 00:31:50,760
\nAnd the coin in the fish fishes
\nmouth that happened in <\/p>\n
500
\n00:31:50,760 –> 00:31:54,840
\nCapernaum, the man was possessed
\nof the evil spirit was done when<\/p>\n
501
\n00:31:54,840 –> 00:31:58,120
\nJesus was in Capernaum and the
\nparalytic man and he walked on <\/p>\n
502
\n00:31:58,120 –> 00:32:01,560
\nthe water.
\nSo many lessons were taught in <\/p>\n
503
\n00:32:01,560 –> 00:32:08,960
\nCapernaum but then still the
\npeople did not believe and it is<\/p>\n
504
\n00:32:08,960 –> 00:32:11,280
\nvery sad.
\nSo despite the many healings and<\/p>\n
505
\n00:32:11,280 –> 00:32:14,320
\nteaching of Jesus in Capernaum
\nthat the people did not believe <\/p>\n
506
\n00:32:14,520 –> 00:32:19,600
\nand repent.
\nGo to Matthew Chapter 11 and <\/p>\n
507
\n00:32:19,600 –> 00:32:29,720
\nverse 20 after done so many
\nsigns and. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:32:30,040 –> 00:32:35,160
\nSo many miracles.
\nThen he began to upgrade the <\/p>\n
509
\n00:32:35,160 –> 00:32:38,880
\ncities wherein most of his
\nmighty works were done, because <\/p>\n
510
\n00:32:38,880 –> 00:32:42,760
\nthey repented not.
\nWoe unto thee, Corazon, woe unto<\/p>\n
511
\n00:32:42,760 –> 00:32:45,080
\nthee.
\nBut sider with the mighty works <\/p>\n
512
\n00:32:45,080 –> 00:32:47,520
\nwhich were done in you, had been
\ndone in Tyre and Sidon. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:32:47,760 –> 00:32:51,200
\nThey would long have repented in
\nsackcloth and in ashes. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:32:51,560 –> 00:32:54,880
\nBut I say, it shall be more
\ntolerable for Tyre and Sidon in <\/p>\n
515
\n00:32:54,880 –> 00:32:56,160
\nthe day of judgement than for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:32:56,680 –> 00:33:01,160
\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art
\nexalted unto heaven, because the<\/p>\n
517
\n00:33:01,160 –> 00:33:04,880
\nSon of God lived among them,
\nshall be brought down to the <\/p>\n
518
\n00:33:04,880 –> 00:33:08,560
\ngrave with the mighty works
\nwhich had been done, and in had <\/p>\n
519
\n00:33:08,560 –> 00:33:12,040
\nbeen done in Sodom.
\nLook at the comparison, brethren<\/p>\n
520
\n00:33:12,040 –> 00:33:14,880
\nthesis.
\nIn Sodom it would have remained <\/p>\n
521
\n00:33:14,960 –> 00:33:17,360
\nunto this day.
\nBut I say to you, it shall be <\/p>\n
522
\n00:33:17,360 –> 00:33:20,880
\nmore tolerable for the land of
\nSodom in the day of judgement <\/p>\n
523
\n00:33:21,240 –> 00:33:25,120
\nthan for thee.
\nAnd it is said Brethren thesis <\/p>\n
524
\n00:33:25,120 –> 00:33:27,640
\nJesus went to live in the
\nvillage of Comfort. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:33:28,440 –> 00:33:32,120
\nBut he himself got no comfort
\nfrom the inhabitants of the <\/p>\n
526
\n00:33:32,120 –> 00:33:35,880
\nvillage of Comfort because they
\ndid not believe in him <\/p>\n
527
\n00:33:37,480 –> 00:33:41,600
\nnevertheless.
\nHe used it as a base to make <\/p>\n
528
\n00:33:41,600 –> 00:33:46,680
\nseveral preaching circuits, and
\nafter healing a blind man in <\/p>\n
529
\n00:33:46,680 –> 00:33:49,800
\nbedsider, he went up to
\nCaesarea, Philippine. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:33:50,640 –> 00:33:54,280
\nSo on one of his place, one of
\nhis journeys, he went from <\/p>\n
531
\n00:33:54,280 –> 00:33:58,800
\nbedside right next to Capernaum
\nall the way to Caesarea <\/p>\n
532
\n00:33:58,800 –> 00:34:04,640
\nPhilippine, at the top of that
\ngreat Jordan Valley that starts <\/p>\n
533
\n00:34:04,640 –> 00:34:07,960
\nhere at the foot of Mount Hermon
\nand goes all the way down to the<\/p>\n
534
\n00:34:07,960 –> 00:34:13,199
\nDead Sea.
\nWhy did Jesus go to Caesarea <\/p>\n
535
\n00:34:13,199 –> 00:34:16,719
\nPhilippine?
\nAnd why did He chose that place <\/p>\n
536
\n00:34:16,719 –> 00:34:19,159
\nto ask his disciples the
\nquestion? <\/p>\n
537
\n00:34:19,360 –> 00:34:23,360
\nWhom do men?
\nSay that I, the Son of Man AM <\/p>\n
538
\n00:34:24,040 –> 00:34:27,639
\nwell, you see the picture of
\nMount Hermon all covered in <\/p>\n
539
\n00:34:27,639 –> 00:34:30,560
\nsnow.
\nThis is about January time and <\/p>\n
540
\n00:34:30,560 –> 00:34:34,679
\nthe snow melt and then starts to
\nform the beginning of the River <\/p>\n
541
\n00:34:34,679 –> 00:34:37,120
\nJordan.
\nAnd you can go to Caesarea <\/p>\n
542
\n00:34:37,120 –> 00:34:39,560
\nPhilippi today.
\nHere it is. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:34:40,840 –> 00:34:44,400
\nHere’s a big cave and there was
\na rockfall, but inside is a <\/p>\n
544
\n00:34:44,400 –> 00:34:50,440
\nspring and the water comes out
\nhere at the Bunyas Falls and the<\/p>\n
545
\n00:34:50,440 –> 00:34:53,920
\nwater.
\nBegins to become part of the <\/p>\n
546
\n00:34:53,920 –> 00:34:59,440
\nriver Jordan if you go there
\ntoday then in already 2000 BC <\/p>\n
547
\n00:34:59,440 –> 00:35:02,800
\nthere was a cultic.
\nSite developed here, dedicated <\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:02,800 –> 00:35:05,880
\nto the Greek.
\nNature God Pan, the God of <\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:05,880 –> 00:35:11,400
\nimmorality and of pleasure.
\nIt is right beside Dan. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:35:12,640 –> 00:35:17,080
\nDan is an interesting place
\nwhere Tim spoke about that Levad<\/p>\n
551
\n00:35:17,080 –> 00:35:19,600
\nwithout a name.
\nYou remember this morning who <\/p>\n
552
\n00:35:19,600 –> 00:35:21,800
\nfinally found employee in the
\nHouse of Micah. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:35:22,640 –> 00:35:27,400
\nBut then if you let us go there
\nto judges chapter. 18. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:35:28,960 –> 00:35:30,920
\nJust to develop this a little
\nbit further. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:35:49,600 –> 00:35:56,520
\nSo 17 and first seven there was
\nthat young man out of Bethlehem,<\/p>\n
556
\n00:35:56,520 –> 00:35:58,920
\nJudah, of the family of Judah
\nwho was a Levite. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:35:58,920 –> 00:36:01,320
\nRemember he come from Bethlehem
\nwho was a Levite. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:02,000 –> 00:36:06,800
\nAnd so he came to Micah.
\nAnd 1st 9 he says events cometh.<\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:06,840 –> 00:36:10,000
\nNow he said I’m come a Levite of
\nBethlehem, Judah, and I go to <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:13,800
\nsodium where I may find a place
\nand Mike said with him dealt <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:13,800 –> 00:36:15,680
\nwith me and be unto me a father
\nand a priest. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:15,680 –> 00:36:18,400
\nNow give you 10 seconds of
\nsilver by the year and a sort of<\/p>\n
563
\n00:36:18,400 –> 00:36:22,200
\napparel and I fit also the Levi
\nwent in and served him. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:36:22,600 –> 00:36:26,560
\nBut later on me here about the
\nthe employees of the tribe of <\/p>\n
565
\n00:36:26,560 –> 00:36:30,440
\nDam, they couldn’t overcome the
\nPhilistines and they went all <\/p>\n
566
\n00:36:30,440 –> 00:36:33,360
\nthe way up to the north to Dam
\nto this place which was then <\/p>\n
567
\n00:36:33,360 –> 00:36:37,240
\ncalled Laish.
\nAnd they set up there a place to<\/p>\n
568
\n00:36:37,240 –> 00:36:39,880
\nlive, but also.
\nA sanctuary. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:36:40,080 –> 00:36:45,000
\nLook at verse 18 of chapter 18.
\nWhile they were going up north, <\/p>\n
570
\n00:36:45,000 –> 00:36:48,200
\nthe tribal down, they passed by
\nthat House of Micah. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:36:48,640 –> 00:36:51,320
\nWhat did they do?
\nIn verse 18? <\/p>\n
572
\n00:36:51,320 –> 00:36:53,880
\nThey went into Micah’s house,
\nfetched the carved image, the <\/p>\n
573
\n00:36:53,880 –> 00:36:56,880
\nephod and the terraphim, and the
\nmolten image, and said to the <\/p>\n
574
\n00:36:56,880 –> 00:36:58,640
\npriest.
\nThen said the priest of them, <\/p>\n
575
\n00:36:58,640 –> 00:37:00,800
\nWhat do ye?
\nAnd they said unto him, Hold thy<\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:00,800 –> 00:37:03,520
\npeace, lay thy hand upon thy
\nmouth, and go with us, and be <\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:03,520 –> 00:37:07,160
\nthou father and a priest.
\nIt’s better to be for Dee to be <\/p>\n
578
\n00:37:07,160 –> 00:37:10,120
\na priest unto the House of one
\nman, or that there’ll be priest <\/p>\n
579
\n00:37:10,120 –> 00:37:11,960
\nunto a tribe, a family in
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:37:12,320 –> 00:37:14,240
\nSo the priest’s heart was clad.
\nHe took the. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:37:14,280 –> 00:37:17,760
\nEphod and the Terepheme and the
\ngraven image, and went in the <\/p>\n
582
\n00:37:17,760 –> 00:37:21,520
\nmidst of the people.
\nSo there was that Levite. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:37:21,920 –> 00:37:24,840
\nAnd then in verse 30, we read
\nthat. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:37:26,160 –> 00:37:31,480
\nThe children of Dan in Dan right
\nbeside Kerryat sees where you <\/p>\n
585
\n00:37:31,480 –> 00:37:33,200
\nPhilippi.
\nIt’s the same place actually. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:37:33,440 –> 00:37:40,560
\nSet up a graven image, and now
\nwe know his name, Jonathan, the <\/p>\n
587
\n00:37:40,560 –> 00:37:44,440
\nson of Gershon, the son of
\nMoses, not Manasseh. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:37:44,920 –> 00:37:46,920
\nThey’ve changed in the Hebrew.
\nThey’re so ashamed. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:37:47,160 –> 00:37:50,280
\nHe was the grandson of Moses.
\nHe and his sons were priests to <\/p>\n
590
\n00:37:50,280 –> 00:37:54,120
\nthe tribe of them until the day
\nof the captivity of the land. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:37:54,520 –> 00:37:57,160
\nAnd they set them up.
\nMicah’s graven image, which he <\/p>\n
592
\n00:37:57,160 –> 00:38:00,160
\nmade all the time that the House
\nof God was in Shiloh. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:38:00,520 –> 00:38:03,520
\nIt’s a place of false idol
\nworship. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:08,200
\nAnd it was the same in the time
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:38:08,440 –> 00:38:15,360
\nIt’s a Pagan cult site.
\nAnd Jesus on purpose brought the<\/p>\n
596
\n00:38:15,360 –> 00:38:22,080
\ndisciples to that place of false
\nreligion, a place of pleasure <\/p>\n
597
\n00:38:22,520 –> 00:38:24,640
\nand immorality.
\nLet’s eat and drink, for <\/p>\n
598
\n00:38:24,640 –> 00:38:28,040
\ntomorrow we die.
\nAnd so we can read that. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:38:28,040 –> 00:38:29,800
\nAnd Jesus came to the coast of
\nCaesarea Field. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:38:29,800 –> 00:38:32,480
\nBut he asked the disciples,
\nsaying, Whom the man say that I,<\/p>\n
601
\n00:38:32,480 –> 00:38:35,760
\nthe Son of Man AM?
\nSome say John the Baptist, <\/p>\n
602
\n00:38:35,760 –> 00:38:39,200
\nElijah, Jeremiah, but whom say
\nhe that I am? <\/p>\n
603
\n00:38:40,720 –> 00:38:47,760
\nAnd then Simon Peter, not as
\nPeter, Simon Peter, Simon the <\/p>\n
604
\n00:38:47,760 –> 00:38:53,120
\nlistener, the hearer, and the
\nrock, Thou art the Christ, the <\/p>\n
605
\n00:38:53,120 –> 00:38:55,680
\nSon of the living God.
\nAnd then she said. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:38:55,880 –> 00:39:04,280
\nBlessed thou Simon Bard, Jonah
\nthe hearer, the son of a dove, a<\/p>\n
607
\n00:39:04,280 –> 00:39:07,360
\ntype of the Holy Spirit, because
\nthat’s where the words of <\/p>\n
608
\n00:39:07,360 –> 00:39:10,000
\nPeter’s mouth came from.
\nFor flesh and blood has not <\/p>\n
609
\n00:39:10,000 –> 00:39:12,680
\nrevealed entry.
\nBut my father, which is in <\/p>\n
610
\n00:39:12,680 –> 00:39:17,480
\nheaven, and I say to thee, thou
\nart Peter, and upon this rock <\/p>\n
611
\n00:39:17,720 –> 00:39:21,320
\nwill I build my church, my
\necclesia, and the gates of hell <\/p>\n
612
\n00:39:21,320 –> 00:39:24,680
\nshall not prevail against it.
\nNow these words are absolutely <\/p>\n
613
\n00:39:24,680 –> 00:39:28,080
\nfascinating by the sisters,
\nbecause why did he ask that <\/p>\n
614
\n00:39:28,080 –> 00:39:30,040
\nquestion?
\nIs Caesar in Philippi? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:39:31,680 –> 00:39:35,600
\nWell here we see the cold niches
\nare still there today with <\/p>\n
616
\n00:39:35,960 –> 00:39:39,960
\nlittle Pagan idols there.
\nAnd he was a cave, and I can <\/p>\n
617
\n00:39:39,960 –> 00:39:43,280
\njust imagine Pan sitting in
\nthere with his flute. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:39:44,000 –> 00:39:46,840
\nThe God of.
\nDrinking of sexual immorality <\/p>\n
619
\n00:39:46,840 –> 00:39:49,680
\nand pleasure.
\nWomen dancing around him. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:39:50,040 –> 00:39:54,320
\nAnd that was the nature of that
\ncourt site in Caesarea Philippi,<\/p>\n
621
\n00:39:54,640 –> 00:39:58,320
\nright beside the place where
\nthat false image was set up <\/p>\n
622
\n00:39:58,320 –> 00:40:02,800
\nalready at the end of the day of
\nthe judges, and more so. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:40:03,520 –> 00:40:08,000
\nJeroboam, after the king of
\nIsrael was split from Judah, he <\/p>\n
624
\n00:40:08,000 –> 00:40:13,640
\nset up two temples for a golden
\ncalf, one in Dan, right beside <\/p>\n
625
\n00:40:13,640 –> 00:40:16,000
\nCaesarea Philippi, and another
\none in Bethel. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:40:16,520 –> 00:40:19,000
\nThis is a place of false
\nreligion. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:40:19,320 –> 00:40:22,840
\nThis typifies the world with all
\nits pleasure and all its <\/p>\n
628
\n00:40:22,840 –> 00:40:27,840
\nimmorality.
\nAnd that is why Jesus said at <\/p>\n
629
\n00:40:27,880 –> 00:40:32,240
\nthat particular place, whom the
\nmen say that I, the Son of Man <\/p>\n
630
\n00:40:32,280 –> 00:40:35,000
\nAM.
\nHe wanted to make the disciples <\/p>\n
631
\n00:40:35,000 –> 00:40:38,160
\nminds up.
\nWhere are you going? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:40:39,560 –> 00:40:41,720
\nIs this what you want?
\nTo choose? <\/p>\n
633
\n00:40:42,280 –> 00:40:46,160
\nThe life of the world, with all
\nits pleasures and promiscuity. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:40:46,960 –> 00:40:50,120
\nOr do you believe that?
\nI am the Son of Man. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:40:50,560 –> 00:40:53,440
\nIt was an appropriate place to
\nask that question. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:40:53,720 –> 00:41:02,640
\nThe Cave is called the Gates of
\nHell because there was a temple <\/p>\n
637
\n00:41:03,080 –> 00:41:06,440
\nof zoos built there.
\nYou can see it in the <\/p>\n
638
\n00:41:06,440 –> 00:41:10,920
\nreconstruction and the temple
\ntook Pan and here was an image <\/p>\n
639
\n00:41:10,920 –> 00:41:13,160
\nof Pan.
\nThe Cave behind it was called <\/p>\n
640
\n00:41:13,160 –> 00:41:15,120
\nthe Gate of Hades.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
641
\n00:41:16,160 –> 00:41:20,400
\nBecause sacrificial animals,
\nthey were dedicated to zoos, <\/p>\n
642
\n00:41:20,680 –> 00:41:24,600
\nwere thrown into The Cave and
\nwere supposed to disappear. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:41:25,840 –> 00:41:30,320
\nBut if they saw blood running
\nout of the in the water here, <\/p>\n
644
\n00:41:30,640 –> 00:41:34,960
\nthen the sacrifice was rejected.
\nIt’s a matter of chance, isn’t <\/p>\n
645
\n00:41:34,960 –> 00:41:35,800
\nit?
\nGlad the sisters. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:37,800
\nIs your sacrifice going to be
\naccepted or not? <\/p>\n
647
\n00:41:37,800 –> 00:41:39,720
\nLet’s look in the water can’t
\nsee blood or can’t you? <\/p>\n
648
\n00:41:39,720 –> 00:41:43,120
\nBut I don’t know not so is the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:41:44,360 –> 00:41:49,680
\nChrist overcame death itself and
\nevery says the gates of hell <\/p>\n
650
\n00:41:50,400 –> 00:41:56,480
\nshall not overcome it.
\nChrist is more powerful than the<\/p>\n
651
\n00:41:56,480 –> 00:41:59,280
\npower of grave.
\nSo King, I had the great build a<\/p>\n
652
\n00:41:59,280 –> 00:42:02,080
\ntemple dedicated to Augustus
\nnear this cave. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:42:02,400 –> 00:42:05,800
\nA Philip built a city nearby and
\ntherefore it was the appropriate<\/p>\n
654
\n00:42:05,800 –> 00:42:10,840
\nplace to ask that question.
\nBut there was another point that<\/p>\n
655
\n00:42:10,840 –> 00:42:14,240
\nis imported in Siseria,
\nPhilippine was as you saw from <\/p>\n
656
\n00:42:14,240 –> 00:42:18,800
\nthat water, it’s one of the.
\nSources of the River Jordan <\/p>\n
657
\n00:42:20,200 –> 00:42:24,640
\nLet’s want to take you down a
\njourney down the River Jordan. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:42:25,640 –> 00:42:28,800
\nBecause that question was asked
\nat the beginning of the <\/p>\n
659
\n00:42:29,880 –> 00:42:33,320
\nHayaarden.
\nIn Hebrew, the name Jordan means<\/p>\n
660
\n00:42:33,320 –> 00:42:36,960
\nthe descender.
\nI said right at the first lesson<\/p>\n
661
\n00:42:36,960 –> 00:42:40,120
\nthat I believe that God has
\ndesigned the land of Israel as a<\/p>\n
662
\n00:42:40,320 –> 00:42:43,400
\nteaching aid.
\nAnd the most powerful lesson, <\/p>\n
663
\n00:42:44,480 –> 00:42:47,360
\nmore powerful than any Sunday
\nschool lesson, is to travel down<\/p>\n
664
\n00:42:47,360 –> 00:42:51,800
\nthe River Jordan.
\nIt’s a picture of life right at <\/p>\n
665
\n00:42:51,800 –> 00:42:54,920
\nthe beginning.
\nAt the foot of Mount Hermon, you<\/p>\n
666
\n00:42:54,920 –> 00:42:59,080
\ncan see this Mount Hermon here.
\nThere are four different sources<\/p>\n
667
\n00:42:59,320 –> 00:43:03,000
\nthat make the River Jordan.
\nIt’s absolutely fascinating to <\/p>\n
668
\n00:43:03,000 –> 00:43:05,160
\ngo to tell down because you see
\nthe water. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:43:05,160 –> 00:43:09,800
\nBubbling about at the ground
\nyou’re teaching in the teenage. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:43:09,800 –> 00:43:13,120
\nClass that the name Adam has a
\nmeaning. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:43:14,040 –> 00:43:16,320
\nIt comes from Adam Mau, which is
\nthe ground. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:43:17,280 –> 00:43:20,400
\nDust thou art, and to dust thou
\nshalt return. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:43:20,800 –> 00:43:23,800
\nIt makes you realise how you
\ncome from redness, ISIS, you <\/p>\n
674
\n00:43:23,800 –> 00:43:26,840
\ncome up out of the ground.
\nAt the beginning. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:43:26,880 –> 00:43:31,160
\nOf our descending life, which
\nends in the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:43:32,600 –> 00:43:36,360
\nAnd that is the most powerful
\nlesson you can ever learn from <\/p>\n
677
\n00:43:36,360 –> 00:43:38,880
\nthe land, from the river Jordan
\nin the land of Israel. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:43:40,000 –> 00:43:43,160
\nSo after those four sources come
\ntogether, you can see the water <\/p>\n
679
\n00:43:43,520 –> 00:43:47,240
\njumping over rocks and the
\nmighty waterfalls. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:43:47,680 –> 00:43:51,160
\nIt’s just like youth itself.
\nKids can’t sit still, they jump <\/p>\n
681
\n00:43:51,160 –> 00:43:53,320
\nand they’re waiting for their
\nfoot and their arms move and <\/p>\n
682
\n00:43:53,320 –> 00:43:55,560
\ntheir legs move.
\nJust like the water bubbling <\/p>\n
683
\n00:43:55,720 –> 00:43:58,840
\nthose teenagers jump out of
\nthrough waterfalls. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:43:58,840 –> 00:44:01,640
\nOur son is in, in, in in
\nAustralia at the moment. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:05,280
\nHis greatest joy is jumping off
\na 10m high Cliff into the sea. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:44:05,480 –> 00:44:08,480
\nThat is youth for you and that
\nis what a river is like. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:44:08,880 –> 00:44:11,200
\nKing David, I believe, was here
\nas. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:44:11,200 –> 00:44:13,760
\nWell.
\nOr does not record it in his <\/p>\n
689
\n00:44:13,760 –> 00:44:15,960
\njourneys.
\nBut he was just like Abram who <\/p>\n
690
\n00:44:15,960 –> 00:44:18,560
\ntravelled to the land from the
\nnorth to the South, from east to<\/p>\n
691
\n00:44:18,560 –> 00:44:20,600
\nWest.
\nLook at Psalm 42. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:44:21,800 –> 00:44:25,200
\nOh my God, my soul scarfed down
\nwithin me, therefore I remember <\/p>\n
693
\n00:44:25,200 –> 00:44:29,040
\nThee from the land of Jordan.
\nIt’s at the beginning of our <\/p>\n
694
\n00:44:29,040 –> 00:44:33,880
\nlife, our conscious life, that
\nwe start to remember our Lord <\/p>\n
695
\n00:44:34,560 –> 00:44:37,560
\nfrom the land of Jordan and the
\nHermonites. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:44:37,760 –> 00:44:39,560
\nThe Hermonites are the little
\ntroglodytes. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:44:39,880 –> 00:44:44,040
\nThey are the two pigs of Herman
\nHerman’s got 2 pigs like Jew and<\/p>\n
698
\n00:44:44,040 –> 00:44:46,480
\nGentile together.
\nDeep caused unto deeper the <\/p>\n
699
\n00:44:46,480 –> 00:44:49,600
\nnoise of thy water spouts all
\nthy ways, and thy bills are. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:44:49,600 –> 00:44:52,800
\nGone over me yet Yahweh will
\ncommand His loving kindest in <\/p>\n
701
\n00:44:52,800 –> 00:44:56,040
\nthe daytime and in the night his
\nHis song shall be with me. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:44:56,280 –> 00:44:58,880
\nMy prayer unto the God of my
\nlife. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:44:59,440 –> 00:45:04,000
\nHow can David write about Mount
\nHerman and all those water <\/p>\n
704
\n00:45:04,600 –> 00:45:07,400
\nspouts and things if he hasn’t
\nbeen there? <\/p>\n
705
\n00:45:08,440 –> 00:45:13,040
\nWell, we’ve been there in in the
\nyear 2000 and it’s just so <\/p>\n
706
\n00:45:13,040 –> 00:45:16,600
\nfascinating basis to be on the
\nspot like that, to think about <\/p>\n
707
\n00:45:16,600 –> 00:45:19,960
\nthe teaching aid built into the
\nland, the River Jordan descended<\/p>\n
708
\n00:45:20,280 –> 00:45:22,440
\nand even Linda Cadeau is here.
\nI said, can you see that? <\/p>\n
709
\n00:45:23,040 –> 00:45:29,600
\nAnd and we read Psalm 42 at that
\nparticular spot and he went <\/p>\n
710
\n00:45:29,720 –> 00:45:34,160
\nrafting on the River Jordan.
\nLovely experience, of course, <\/p>\n
711
\n00:45:34,160 –> 00:45:36,400
\nsplashing each other and getting
\nwet and things like that. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:45:36,960 –> 00:45:40,760
\nBut you know, I’m.
\nFloating in the water together <\/p>\n
713
\n00:45:40,760 –> 00:45:44,360
\nwith Stephen Palmer.
\nAnd he said, well, obviously I’m<\/p>\n
714
\n00:45:44,360 –> 00:45:49,840
\npretty good swimmer, but you
\ncould never swim back up again. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:45:50,560 –> 00:45:53,720
\nThe stream is so powerful it
\njust drags you down. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:45:54,280 –> 00:45:58,440
\nYou can’t swim back up again.
\nRemember every day of our life, <\/p>\n
717
\n00:45:58,760 –> 00:46:03,280
\nlike like David said in the
\nsounds, teachers to number our <\/p>\n
718
\n00:46:03,360 –> 00:46:05,840
\ndays.
\nToday’s the last day you ever <\/p>\n
719
\n00:46:05,840 –> 00:46:07,520
\nlive.
\nThis particular day it won’t <\/p>\n
720
\n00:46:07,520 –> 00:46:09,320
\ncome back.
\nYou can’t go back. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:46:09,680 –> 00:46:12,080
\nYou can’t say, oh, I wish I can
\ndo that again. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:46:12,600 –> 00:46:17,960
\nNo, the only way is downstream.
\nThere’s no way out. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:46:18,160 –> 00:46:21,600
\nThat is the descender, a picture
\nof life itself. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:46:21,600 –> 00:46:27,280
\nAnd here it flows down through a
\nCanyon into the Sea of Galilee, <\/p>\n
725
\n00:46:27,280 –> 00:46:31,320
\nwhich is here and there.
\nIt flows into the Sea of Galilee<\/p>\n
726
\n00:46:31,520 –> 00:46:35,200
\nnot far from Capernaum.
\nThat’s where Jesus stayed there.<\/p>\n
727
\n00:46:35,920 –> 00:46:39,240
\nJesus loved this area because he
\nstayed there. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:46:39,240 –> 00:46:42,600
\nAnd he did a lot of his teaching
\nand preaching round the Sea of <\/p>\n
729
\n00:46:42,600 –> 00:46:45,000
\nGalilee.
\nThat’s where most of the <\/p>\n
730
\n00:46:45,000 –> 00:46:48,160
\ndisciples come.
\nThere’s still fishermen today on<\/p>\n
731
\n00:46:48,160 –> 00:46:50,800
\nthe Sea of Galilee.
\nThat’s where they came from. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:46:51,880 –> 00:46:55,400
\nSo if the beginning of the River
\nJordan is all its waterfalls <\/p>\n
733
\n00:46:55,400 –> 00:46:56,440
\nrepresenting.
\nYouth. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:46:57,080 –> 00:47:00,400
\nThen I believe the Sea of
\nGalilee represents a more mature<\/p>\n
735
\n00:47:00,400 –> 00:47:02,480
\nstage in life.
\nThat’s why I was put my the <\/p>\n
736
\n00:47:02,480 –> 00:47:05,160
\npicture of my wife there.
\nVery mature lady. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:47:05,600 –> 00:47:10,000
\nAnd interestingly, right now,
\nthe Israelis to earn some money.<\/p>\n
738
\n00:47:10,240 –> 00:47:14,600
\nHave developed a baptismal site
\nat the Ganya just before the <\/p>\n
739
\n00:47:14,600 –> 00:47:19,440
\nJordan River flows out of the
\nSea of Galilee, and we all reach<\/p>\n
740
\n00:47:19,440 –> 00:47:22,440
\nthat stage of maturity better so
\nthat we can think of the <\/p>\n
741
\n00:47:22,440 –> 00:47:25,640
\nparables of Jesus, all the
\nhealing powers that he was, the <\/p>\n
742
\n00:47:25,640 –> 00:47:29,200
\nlight that had come.
\nThe light was promised of old, <\/p>\n
743
\n00:47:29,520 –> 00:47:33,760
\nand people are baptised and they
\nlead a life for Christ. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:47:33,920 –> 00:47:39,120
\nBut from then on the river
\nJordan flows through a desert <\/p>\n
745
\n00:47:39,120 –> 00:47:43,200
\ncountry.
\nIt meanders through a wide <\/p>\n
746
\n00:47:43,200 –> 00:47:50,400
\nriverbed and it goes down and
\nends up in the Dead Sea, which <\/p>\n
747
\n00:47:50,400 –> 00:47:53,800
\nhas no outlet whatsoever.
\nWe are. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:47:53,800 –> 00:47:57,760
\nAll going to the Dead Sea
\nPrincesses, unless Christ goes <\/p>\n
749
\n00:47:57,760 –> 00:48:01,400
\nback soon.
\nThat’s the story of life built <\/p>\n
750
\n00:48:01,440 –> 00:48:05,880
\ninto the landscape of Israel.
\nIt’s at the beginning of our <\/p>\n
751
\n00:48:05,880 –> 00:48:08,480
\njourney.
\nWe’ve got to make up our mind. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:48:08,840 –> 00:48:11,880
\nWhom do you say?
\nThat I, the Son of Man, am at <\/p>\n
753
\n00:48:11,880 –> 00:48:15,640
\nthe beginning of our life
\njourney by the sisters because <\/p>\n
754
\n00:48:16,000 –> 00:48:19,720
\nwe don’t have to end up in the
\nDead Sea, as we all see at <\/p>\n
755
\n00:48:19,720 –> 00:48:23,640
\nanother time they see.
\nIt’s very beautiful there, <\/p>\n
756
\n00:48:24,160 –> 00:48:26,760
\nespecially when the sun rises up
\nover the mountains of Moab. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:48:27,240 –> 00:48:30,000
\nBut along the shore there’s
\nstones are there’s not snow. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:48:30,360 –> 00:48:32,360
\nBut we’re not in Canada.
\nHere it is a salt. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:48:32,840 –> 00:48:35,920
\nThere’s so much salt and the
\nstones are covered with salt. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:48:36,280 –> 00:48:38,520
\nThere is no life possible at
\nall. <\/p>\n
761
\n00:48:39,600 –> 00:48:44,040
\nIn the Byzantine map in Mataba,
\nthere’s a picture of the River <\/p>\n
762
\n00:48:44,040 –> 00:48:46,640
\nJordan and the fish is in the
\nRiver Jordan and then it flows <\/p>\n
763
\n00:48:46,640 –> 00:48:48,520
\ninto the Dead Sea.
\nSee one fish going into the Dead<\/p>\n
764
\n00:48:48,520 –> 00:48:51,080
\nSea don’t come straight out
\nbecause you can’t live there at <\/p>\n
765
\n00:48:51,080 –> 00:48:53,920
\nall.
\nAnd so it’s lovely you can float<\/p>\n
766
\n00:48:53,920 –> 00:48:56,120
\nthere.
\nThere’s my son Joe on the right <\/p>\n
767
\n00:48:56,120 –> 00:48:59,040
\nhand side, our daughter Anna and
\nDaniel Crispin, her husband. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:48:59,480 –> 00:49:01,840
\nBut it’s the end of the journey
\nby the sisters. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:49:01,840 –> 00:49:05,440
\nBut it’s not going to stay like
\nthat because we know that it <\/p>\n
770
\n00:49:05,440 –> 00:49:07,200
\nshall come.
\nTo pass in the last days that <\/p>\n
771
\n00:49:07,200 –> 00:49:10,280
\nthe mountain of Yao’s house
\nshall be established in the top <\/p>\n
772
\n00:49:10,280 –> 00:49:13,080
\nof the mountain shall be
\nexhausted above the hills, and <\/p>\n
773
\n00:49:13,080 –> 00:49:17,320
\nall nations shall flow onto it.
\nNow the amount of water is 70 <\/p>\n
774
\n00:49:17,320 –> 00:49:19,080
\nmetres higher than the
\ntemperament. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:49:20,280 –> 00:49:24,160
\nWe are a low people, not many
\nmighty, not many nobles, but the<\/p>\n
776
\n00:49:24,160 –> 00:49:27,880
\nmountains are around about us
\nbecause as yeah, as the <\/p>\n
777
\n00:49:27,880 –> 00:49:30,120
\nmountains are around about
\nJerusalem, so Yah was round <\/p>\n
778
\n00:49:30,120 –> 00:49:31,200
\nabout them.
\nThat’s fear him. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:49:31,600 –> 00:49:36,680
\nIn 1927, such an earthquake that
\non the temple Manor Al Aqsa was <\/p>\n
780
\n00:49:37,560 –> 00:49:40,680
\ndestroyed and the waters of the
\nriver Jordan were cut off. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:49:41,240 –> 00:49:45,160
\nBut we know that in the Canaan
\nyou stand on the top of the <\/p>\n
782
\n00:49:45,160 –> 00:49:49,280
\nMount of Olives, the valley is
\nalready prepared to take the <\/p>\n
783
\n00:49:49,280 –> 00:49:52,800
\nwater down to the Dead Sea and
\nthe dead. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:49:52,800 –> 00:49:56,000
\nSea, they’ll be healed.
\nNow I’ve got some topographical <\/p>\n
785
\n00:49:56,000 –> 00:49:59,160
\nmaps out and I was just
\nabsolutely amazed to see that if<\/p>\n
786
\n00:49:59,200 –> 00:50:03,760
\nJerusalem is here and there’s
\nthe line of the New River, then <\/p>\n
787
\n00:50:03,760 –> 00:50:07,280
\nthe last bit on the map, it’s
\ncalled the Wadi Dahar. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:50:08,240 –> 00:50:13,160
\nThat Dahar means the word.
\nThey’re pretty well the British <\/p>\n
789
\n00:50:13,160 –> 00:50:16,800
\ntonics who gave the name to the
\nWadi the last end of it. <\/p>\n
790
\n00:50:17,160 –> 00:50:21,320
\nBecause that river is the word
\nof God that will go out and heal<\/p>\n
791
\n00:50:22,000 –> 00:50:27,760
\ndeath itself like my sisters,
\nbecause it mean be the end for <\/p>\n
792
\n00:50:27,760 –> 00:50:31,920
\nus, because Christ will swallow
\nup death in victory. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:50:32,440 –> 00:50:35,960
\nAnd therefore we come back to
\nthis place again as a very <\/p>\n
794
\n00:50:35,960 –> 00:50:39,640
\npowerful lesson for us.
\nSo let us then, especially young<\/p>\n
795
\n00:50:39,640 –> 00:50:43,000
\npeople at the beginning of your
\nlife, make up your mind whom <\/p>\n
796
\n00:50:43,000 –> 00:50:46,720
\nyou’re going to serve.
\nDo you believe that Jesus is the<\/p>\n
797
\n00:50:46,720 –> 00:50:49,480
\nSon of God?
\nOrder your radical for the <\/p>\n
798
\n00:50:49,480 –> 00:50:52,840
\npleasures of life as people did
\nin Caesarea Philippine. <\/p>\n
799
