Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 337.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,040 –> 00:00:08,320
\nOur speaker for this second
\nsession is Brother Lane <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,320 –> 00:00:12,760
\nRittmeyer from Cardiff, Wales.
\nHis theme this week is The Power<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:12,760 –> 00:00:15,440
\nof Bible Places and their
\nLessons for us. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,079 –> 00:00:20,080
\nThis is his second class and the
\nsubject for this class is He <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:20,080 –> 00:00:23,880
\nshall be called a Nazarene.
\nOur reading was taken from <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:23,880 –> 00:00:30,640
\nMatthew chapter 2.
\nDear brothers and sisters and <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:30,640 –> 00:00:36,000
\nyoung people, it’s very pleasing
\nto hear Josiah read Matthew <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:40,000
\nChapter 2 for me, one of my
\nformer students, to see Chris <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:43,800
\nAyles here, former teacher of
\nHeritage College, and Tim Badger<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:44,200 –> 00:00:46,360
\nand other children here that
\nwere my students. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:46,360 –> 00:00:48,280
\nIt’s lovely to be here in your
\nmidst. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:48,280 –> 00:00:52,160
\nIt makes me feel really at home.
\nYesterday we start to look at <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:52,160 –> 00:00:57,280
\nthe land of Israel and he saw
\nthat God has created that land. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:00,160
\nHe loved that land.
\nHis eyes were always on that <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:00,160 –> 00:01:02,960
\nland.
\nBut it was also to be used as a <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:02,960 –> 00:01:05,480
\nteaching aid.
\nAnd we’ve seen a few of these <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:05,480 –> 00:01:08,280
\nlessons and hope to bring out
\nmany more. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:09,560 –> 00:01:12,520
\nWe saw that the land of Israel
\nwas placed in the midst of the <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:12,520 –> 00:01:16,000
\nearth in between those
\ncontinents of Asia and of Europe<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:16,040 –> 00:01:18,800
\nand of Africa.
\nHow in the past they were vetted<\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:18,800 –> 00:01:22,720
\nbetween the powers of Egypt and
\nthe empires of Assyria, Babylon <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:22,960 –> 00:01:26,160
\nand and Persia.
\nAnd we’ve seen that it was both <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:26,160 –> 00:01:31,040
\nan opportunity to stay isolated,
\nto be separated under the <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:31,040 –> 00:01:34,880
\nsurface of God, or to be
\ninfluenced by those people that <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:34,880 –> 00:01:38,720
\nuse that land as a land bridge
\nto fight with one another. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:38,720 –> 00:01:44,160
\nAnd then we looked at the Angel
\nGabriel going to that <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:44,160 –> 00:01:48,000
\nmagnificent temple which Herod
\nhad built in Jerusalem, the most<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:51,240
\nbeautiful building that was ever
\nbuilt in the land of Israel. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:52,040 –> 00:01:54,520
\nBut his message was met with
\nunbelief. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:55,880 –> 00:02:01,080
\nA lady was sent to Nazareth, a
\nhumble village, a small village <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:05,760
\nin a humble abode, and there the
\nmessage was received with joy. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:06,440 –> 00:02:09,880
\nAnd Mary said, Behold the
\nhandmaid of the Lord, be it unto<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:09,880 –> 00:02:13,600
\nme, even according to thy word.
\nWhat a contrast that was. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:14,880 –> 00:02:17,920
\nThen we’ve seen how the Angel
\nintimated that she should go to <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:17,920 –> 00:02:21,760
\nvisit her cousin Elizabeth.
\nAnd we’ve seen that she lived in<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:21,760 –> 00:02:25,200
\nthe city of Aaron because she
\nwas a daughter of Aaron, married<\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:25,200 –> 00:02:29,000
\nto a son of Aaron, living in the
\ncity of Aaron, which was Hebron.<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:31,520
\nAnd we looked through the
\nhistory of Hebron, how the <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:31,520 –> 00:02:35,240
\npatriarchs were buried there,
\nhow David was anointed king in <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:38,520
\nHebron.
\nAnd so we saw the power of that <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:38,520 –> 00:02:42,080
\nplace of, of Hebron where
\nElizabeth was living. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:42,320 –> 00:02:47,680
\nAnd those two women, Mary and
\nElizabeth, had so much to share <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:47,680 –> 00:02:51,400
\nbetween them.
\nIn the chapter we read today, we<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:51,400 –> 00:02:54,760
\ntalked about the fulfilment of
\nJesus having to be born in <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:54,760 –> 00:02:58,880
\nBethlehem.
\nAnd we’ve seen how 1000 years <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:58,880 –> 00:03:03,560
\nbefore Christ actually was born,
\nGod had already prepared a place<\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:03,560 –> 00:03:06,680
\nfor him to be born in the Inn of
\nKim Ham. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:07,640 –> 00:03:12,280
\nAnd so we can only marvel at
\nGod’s foresight, at his care for<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:12,280 –> 00:03:14,560
\nthe preparation for the birth of
\nhis Son. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:15,200 –> 00:03:19,520
\nAnd in this chapter, again, we
\nsee that all the time prophecy <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:19,520 –> 00:03:25,720
\nis being fulfilled In verse 15,
\nwe read it out of Egypt. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:25,720 –> 00:03:29,120
\nHave I called my son?
\nHe wondered. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:32,360
\nIt’s going to tell Joseph, Mary
\nto take little baby Jesus and <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:32,640 –> 00:03:35,760
\nrun to Egypt because otherwise
\nhe would be killed by Herod. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:36,440 –> 00:03:40,800
\nI don’t think that was the case.
\nIf God can command legions of <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:44,080
\nangels than the power of
\nheritage, absolutely nothing <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:44,080 –> 00:03:47,880
\ncompared to Him.
\nBut they had to go there to <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:47,880 –> 00:03:52,200
\nfulfil a prophecy out of Egypt.
\nHave I called my son? <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:52,200 –> 00:03:58,000
\nNow the calling out of Egypt, of
\nIsrael is a theme that goes <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:58,000 –> 00:04:00,960
\nright through the Scriptures.
\nBrother Tim has been referring <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:00,960 –> 00:04:04,480
\nto it and all the time you have
\nthis reference of Israel being <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:04,480 –> 00:04:08,200
\nsaved out of the House of
\nbondage, the House of sin out of<\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:08,200 –> 00:04:13,000
\nEgypt.
\nBut why is this particular <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:15,440
\nprophecy referred to out of
\nEgypt? <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:15,440 –> 00:04:19,240
\nHave I called my son?
\nIt’s a reference you won’t find <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:19,240 –> 00:04:23,240
\nin Exodus or in Numbers,
\nLeviticus or Deuteronomy or <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:23,240 –> 00:04:25,520
\nJoshua.
\nYou find it in the prophecy of <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:25,800 –> 00:04:29,040
\nHosea.
\nSo let’s go to the prophecy of <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:29,040 –> 00:04:34,240
\nHosea Chapter 11 and see why
\nthis particular verse has been <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:34,280 –> 00:04:40,080
\nchosen to be fulfilled.
\nSo Hosea, Chapter 11. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:53,200 –> 00:04:58,160
\nAnd there we have it, right in
\nthe first verse when Israel was <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:58,160 –> 00:05:02,280
\na child.
\nThen I loved him and called my <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:02,280 –> 00:05:06,240
\nson out of Egypt.
\nSo the definite parallels there <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:10,200
\nbetween the nation of Israel
\ncoming out of Egypt and Jesus <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:10,200 –> 00:05:13,680
\nhaving to go to Egypt 1st and
\nthen to come out of Egypt again,<\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:14,160 –> 00:05:16,720
\nalthough he was totally unaware,
\nI suppose of what was happening <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:16,720 –> 00:05:18,560
\nto him because he was only a
\nlittle baby. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:21,160 –> 00:05:26,200
\nBut was the first sentiment in
\nthis verse, Why did God bring <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:26,480 –> 00:05:29,960
\nIsrael out of Egypt?
\nHe says because I loved him. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:31,360 –> 00:05:37,000
\nAnd this chapter is Speaking of
\nthe great love which God has for<\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:37,000 –> 00:05:43,360
\nIsrael, but also for his son.
\nIf you continue reading in verse<\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:43,360 –> 00:05:47,920
\nthree, he said I taught Ephraim
\nalso to go taking them by their <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:51,480
\narms.
\nNow that’s what happened to <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:51,480 –> 00:05:54,200
\nJesus as well.
\nHe was a little baby and I think<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:54,200 –> 00:05:56,600
\nhe learnt walking in the land of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:00,560
\nHe’s only up to two years old
\nand Joseph must have held his <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:00,560 –> 00:06:03,200
\nhands out of dummies and all
\nfires have dummies, their sons <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:03,200 –> 00:06:05,960
\nand their daughters.
\nAnd he taught teaching him how <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:05,960 –> 00:06:11,760
\nto walk.
\nGod is showing his love for his <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:11,760 –> 00:06:15,040
\nson in this chapter and that’s
\nwhy I believe this chapter is <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:20,440
\nreferred to in Matthew chapter 2
\nin verse 4I drood him with <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:20,440 –> 00:06:24,960
\nchords of of a man with bands of
\nlove. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:25,480 –> 00:06:31,120
\nIt’s how a man wants to bind his
\nwife to himself in in love. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:32,080 –> 00:06:36,360
\nAnd that is why this particular
\nprophecy has been referred to. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:36,640 –> 00:06:41,120
\nAlthough there were times that
\ngot absolutely despaired of <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:41,120 –> 00:06:43,960
\nIsrael.
\nLook at the previous chapter, <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:43,960 –> 00:06:48,280
\nverse 9.
\nIt says there in verse 15 all <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:48,280 –> 00:06:54,440
\ntheir wickedness is in Gilgal.
\nFor there I hated them for the <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:54,440 –> 00:06:57,200
\nwickedness of their doings.
\nI will drive them out of my <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:57,200 –> 00:06:58,840
\nhouse.
\nI will love them no more. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:59,240 –> 00:07:01,200
\nAll their Princess are
\nrevolters. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:03,920
\nEphraim is smitten.
\nTheir root is dried up. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:03,920 –> 00:07:07,280
\nThey show they bear no fruit and
\nGod can’t work as people like <\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:07,280 –> 00:07:09,840
\nthat.
\nHe can’t love them. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:11,720 –> 00:07:15,520
\nBut then God’s bowels were
\nyearning for Israel. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:15,760 –> 00:07:17,960
\nHe did not want to cast them
\noff. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:19,880 –> 00:07:21,720
\nIt says in verse seven of the
\nchapter. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:21,720 –> 00:07:25,120
\nReaders read Chapter 11.
\nMy people are bent to <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:28,840
\nbacksliding for me, though they
\ncall them to the Most High. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:29,120 –> 00:07:34,040
\nNone at all would exalt him, or
\nwould glorify or or sanctify <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:34,040 –> 00:07:36,120
\nGod.
\nAnd he was. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:36,320 –> 00:07:39,520
\nIn the meantime she was ready to
\ncast them off and to destroy <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:39,520 –> 00:07:43,040
\nthem.
\nBut then he says in verse 8, How<\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:43,400 –> 00:07:47,120
\nshall I give thee up?
\nIf I am, How shall I deliver <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:47,120 –> 00:07:50,240
\nthee, Israel?
\nHow shall I make thee as Atman? <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:50,520 –> 00:07:54,440
\nHow shall I set thee as Zeboim?
\nWe go to see tonight. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:54,440 –> 00:07:55,160
\nGod willing.
\nI would. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:55,160 –> 00:07:58,520
\nGod destroyed those cities of
\nSodom and Gomorrah, of Atma and <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:58,520 –> 00:08:01,640
\nZebovim, because he couldn’t
\ntolerate their sin anymore. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:03,600 –> 00:08:08,120
\nBut think about Israel.
\nMy heart is turned within me, my<\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:08,120 –> 00:08:11,000
\nrepentings.
\nI’m are kindled together. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:11,520 –> 00:08:14,800
\nI will not execute the
\nfierceness of my anger. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:15,040 –> 00:08:17,200
\nI will not return to destroy
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:17,800 –> 00:08:21,560
\nWhy Bradley sisters?
\nBecause he says I am God. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:22,200 –> 00:08:27,760
\nI’m Elohim, I’m not man, and
\nthat’s the greatest of God, that<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:28,200 –> 00:08:31,600
\nHe can forgive our sins,
\nalthough He doesn’t hold the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:31,600 –> 00:08:35,240
\nguilty innocent, that he could
\nnever give up Israel. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:38,440
\nAnd it’s amazing to see the
\nnation of Israel still gathered <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:38,440 –> 00:08:40,880
\ntogether in Israel.
\nThey have been gathered together<\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:40,880 –> 00:08:44,280
\nthere out of God’s love, so that
\nthey can look upon Him whom they<\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:44,280 –> 00:08:48,320
\nhave pierced.
\nJesus was totally unaware of all<\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:48,320 –> 00:08:50,320
\nthis happening.
\nBut you saw yesterday the <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:50,320 –> 00:08:53,760
\nbeautiful character of Mary who
\nkept all those things in her <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:53,760 –> 00:08:57,080
\nheart, who pondered about all
\nthe things that were being said <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:57,080 –> 00:08:59,000
\nto her when she had given birth
\nto Jesus. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:59,200 –> 00:09:02,920
\nAlmost too much to take in, but
\nshe remembered everything. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:03,640 –> 00:09:07,920
\nBy meditating on them, she
\neventually realised how old the <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:07,920 –> 00:09:11,680
\nprophecy had to be fulfilled for
\nher Son Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:11,680 –> 00:09:15,080
\nAnd when he was growing up, He
\nmust, He must have told Him all <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:15,080 –> 00:09:18,440
\nthose things, because God is the
\nFather of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:19,160 –> 00:09:22,480
\nHe wanted Jesus to know that
\neven if Jesus found life <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:22,480 –> 00:09:26,080
\ndifficult, that God would never
\ngive him up, just like he <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:26,240 –> 00:09:30,000
\ncouldn’t give up Israel.
\nHow shall I give thee up if I <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:33,160
\nam?
\nBecause Jesus wasn’t born <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:33,200 –> 00:09:36,800
\nperfect.
\nHe had to develop God’s <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:36,800 –> 00:09:40,120
\ncharacter also.
\nYou know the passage in he was 5<\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:40,120 –> 00:09:42,400
\nand 8.
\nSo well, though he were a son, <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:42,680 –> 00:09:45,880
\nhe had learnt the obedience by
\nthe things which he suffered. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:46,640 –> 00:09:50,120
\nIf he had to learn obedience,
\nthat there must be moments that <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:53,040
\nhe didn’t want to be obedient.
\nAnd like any other child, he’d <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:53,040 –> 00:09:57,880
\nlike to disobey sometimes.
\nBut of course, Jesus never ever <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:58,040 –> 00:10:00,840
\ndid.
\nAnd it was a process by many <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:00,840 –> 00:10:04,360
\nsisters, that learning of
\nobedience that continued to the <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:04,360 –> 00:10:07,000
\nend.
\nLet’s go to Mark chapter 14. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:11,320 –> 00:10:19,000
\nAnd God understands all that in
\nMark chapter 14, verse 34, we <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:24,520
\nnow at the end of the earthly
\nlife of Jesus in the Garden of <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:24,520 –> 00:10:29,520
\nGethsemane, He says in verse 34,
\nMy soul was exceeding sorrowful <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:29,520 –> 00:10:32,680
\nunto death.
\nTarry you here and watch. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:33,280 –> 00:10:36,120
\nAnd he went forward a little and
\nfell on the ground and prayed <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:36,120 –> 00:10:39,760
\nthat if it were possible the
\nhour might pass from him. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:40,240 –> 00:10:43,200
\nHe said, ABBA Fateh, all things
\nare possible unto thee. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:43,200 –> 00:10:47,760
\nTake away this cup from me, and
\nif there’s not what I know, but <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:47,800 –> 00:10:52,360
\nwhat thou build.
\nAnd so in learning to obey his <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:52,360 –> 00:10:56,320
\nmother and Joseph, who was a
\nfather figure to him, she’s <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:56,320 –> 00:10:59,200
\nlearnt to obey God even unto the
\nend. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:03,480
\nIt’s a salutary lesson by the
\nsisters and young people for for<\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:08,680
\nparents to learn to always love
\ntheir children, even when <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:08,680 –> 00:11:11,600
\nthey’re disobedient.
\nAnd it’s a good lesson for <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:11,600 –> 00:11:15,280
\nchildren because by obeying
\ntheir parents, they learn to <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:15,280 –> 00:11:19,160
\nobey God as their parents are
\nalso obeying God. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:21,040 –> 00:11:24,840
\nSo although we don’t know
\nexactly where in Egypt they went<\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:24,840 –> 00:11:29,040
\nto, you can see the the the
\njourney in in red. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:31,080 –> 00:11:35,240
\nSo they must have left Bethlehem
\nand gone down the road to <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:35,240 –> 00:11:39,800
\nAscalon, go all the way down the
\ncoast by Gaza and went into <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:39,840 –> 00:11:42,640
\nEgypt, probably staying there.
\nThe children of Israel were in <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:42,640 –> 00:11:45,680
\ncaptivity where they built all
\nthose buildings with mud bricks.<\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:46,240 –> 00:11:49,680
\nAnd then they had to come back
\nagain to fulfil another prophecy<\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:52,560
\nthat he shall be called a
\nNazarene. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:53,640 –> 00:11:55,920
\nWhat does that mean?
\nWhat is a Nazarene? <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:56,520 –> 00:11:58,600
\nAfter many speakers badly
\nsisters, young people about it, <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:58,600 –> 00:12:01,720
\nthey think it’s a Nazarite, but
\nit’s a completely different word<\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:01,720 –> 00:12:04,240
\nin Hebrew.
\nAnd Nazarite is a man who <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:04,520 –> 00:12:08,280
\nconsecrates himself to God, who
\nlet his hair grow along like <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:08,320 –> 00:12:11,560
\nElijah did in John the Baptist
\nwhen at a certain time it was <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:11,560 –> 00:12:14,600
\ncut off and offered to God.
\nBut that is not what it is, what<\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:14,600 –> 00:12:19,760
\nit is saying here.
\nA Nazarene is an inhabitant of <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:19,760 –> 00:12:22,320
\nNazareth.
\nBut there’s much more to that as<\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:22,320 –> 00:12:27,520
\nwell today.
\nIf you look at Nazareth, we saw <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:27,560 –> 00:12:31,160
\nthis slide yesterday.
\nSo we’re going to have a look at<\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:31,160 –> 00:12:35,040
\nthe power of the Bible place.
\nWhy did Jesus have to go back <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:40,120
\nthere or go there for the first
\ntime for him and be grow up <\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:40,360 –> 00:12:43,400
\ngrowing up in Nazareth?
\nYesterday I showed this slide. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:43,400 –> 00:12:48,600
\nNow it’s a very large city, a
\nlot of Christian Arabs living <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:48,600 –> 00:12:53,000
\nthere.
\nBut in the 100 years ago, this <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:56,920
\npicture was taken, 100 years
\nago, it was just a very small <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:56,920 –> 00:13:01,120
\nvillage.
\nAnd that is where Jesus grew up.<\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:02,080 –> 00:13:06,240
\nIt shows he was not a city kid.
\nGod, he didn’t choose Jerusalem <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:06,240 –> 00:13:10,840
\nfor his child to be educated.
\nHe chose a small little village <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:15,400
\nfar away from Jerusalem in the
\nHill Country of Galilee, in a <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:18,920
\nlittle bowl where you can’t see
\nmuch beyond the limit of your <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:18,920 –> 00:13:21,040
\nvillage.
\nAnd that’s where that’s where he<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:21,040 –> 00:13:23,760
\nwas educated.
\nRobert Roberts he wrote about <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:23,760 –> 00:13:28,200
\nthe spiritual benefits of
\ngrowing up in despised Nazareth.<\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:29,640 –> 00:13:32,720
\nIt was a place of preparation
\nfor the public life of Jesus. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:33,040 –> 00:13:38,280
\nRobert Roberts says this an
\nunexciting lowly life of private<\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:38,440 –> 00:13:43,320
\nmanual labour was chosen by God
\nas the right school for the <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:43,320 –> 00:13:48,360
\ntraining of his beloved son for
\nthe heirship of all things. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:49,160 –> 00:13:53,520
\nIf you continue reading about
\nRobert Robert’s work words about<\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:53,680 –> 00:13:57,280
\nthe first formative years of
\nJesus, he says the work the life<\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:57,280 –> 00:14:01,280
\nof a working man means the full
\ndevelopment of man, whose <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:01,320 –> 00:14:06,960
\nstrength a strong frame, a kind
\nand firmly muscular hand, a <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:10,960
\nsimple and independent character
\ncombined with humility of <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:10,960 –> 00:14:13,600
\ndeportment.
\nIf to these we add the <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:13,600 –> 00:14:18,240
\nclearness, clearness of a divine
\nintellect, the fire of godly <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:18,240 –> 00:14:22,600
\nzeal, and the tenderness of true
\nkindness and compassion, we get <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:22,600 –> 00:14:27,600
\nan approximation to Jesus of
\nNazareth in God was working out <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:27,600 –> 00:14:32,120
\nthe archetype to which all his
\nfamily needs to be conformed. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:34,400 –> 00:14:38,000
\nBut the more fundamental reason
\nis the fulfilment of this <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:38,000 –> 00:14:42,360
\nprophecy of Isaiah.
\nHe shall be called a Nazarene. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:43,040 –> 00:14:47,120
\nSo what is that all about?
\nLet’s go to Isaiah Chapter 11 <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:48,040 –> 00:14:55,560
\nbecause that’s where the the
\ncode comes from in Isaiah <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:55,560 –> 00:15:13,640
\nChapter 11.
\nI’ve got a wonderful description<\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:13,640 –> 00:15:15,480
\nof the work of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:15,880 –> 00:15:19,080
\nBut the preparation for that
\ntook place in Nazareth. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:25,080
\nThere shall come forth a rod out
\nof the stem of Jesse, and a <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:25,080 –> 00:15:27,600
\nbranch shall grow out of his
\nroots. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:28,560 –> 00:15:30,280
\nBut the stem of Jesse was cut
\noff. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:30,680 –> 00:15:35,040
\nThe House of David was cut off.
\nThere were no kings in Israel <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:35,040 –> 00:15:40,320
\nanymore after the Babylonian
\ndestruction of 586 BC. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:46,600
\nSo the the IT was like a stump
\nof a tree, but a branch, a chute<\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:47,240 –> 00:15:52,600
\ncame forth out of his roots.
\nAnd that word, the branch, is <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:52,880 –> 00:15:58,320
\nnetzer.
\nIn Hebrew, netzer is the branch,<\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:59,040 –> 00:16:04,320
\nbut Nazareth is the same word.
\nIt’s Nazareth in Hebrew. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:04,800 –> 00:16:09,760
\nIt’s the plural word of branch.
\nIt’s a place of branches. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:10,320 –> 00:16:14,760
\nThat’s what it means.
\nIf you continue reading, we can <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:14,760 –> 00:16:18,400
\nsee how God chose that place to
\neducate His Son. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:18,800 –> 00:16:23,160
\nThe Spirit of Yahweh shall rest
\nupon him, the spirit of wisdom <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:23,160 –> 00:16:26,320
\nand understanding.
\nThe spirit of counsel and might,<\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:26,680 –> 00:16:30,240
\nthe spirit of knowledge and the
\nfear of Yawa, and shall make him<\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:30,240 –> 00:16:33,200
\nof quick understanding in the
\nfear of Yawa. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:36,280
\nHe shall not judge after the
\nsight of His eyes, neither <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:36,280 –> 00:16:39,840
\nreproof after the hearing of His
\nears, but His righteousness <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:39,840 –> 00:16:43,400
\nshall He judge the poor, and
\nreprove his equity for the meek <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:46,360
\nof the earth.
\nAnd the time will come that He <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:46,360 –> 00:16:48,120
\nwill smite the earth with the
\nrod of his mouth. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:51,480
\nWith the breath of His lips
\nshall He slay the wicked, and <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:51,480 –> 00:16:54,360
\nrighteousness shall be the
\ngirdle of His loins, and <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:54,360 –> 00:16:57,000
\nfaithfulness the girdle of His
\nreigns. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:57,320 –> 00:17:01,440
\nYou could never develop such
\ncharacteristics in a big city in<\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:01,440 –> 00:17:03,800
\nthe city of Jerusalem.
\nIt’s just full of the <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:06,880
\nhypocritical Pharisees and
\nSadducees who are teaching their<\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:06,880 –> 00:17:12,319
\nstudents to be just like them.
\nGod chose Nazareth, the place of<\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:12,319 –> 00:17:17,599
\na branch to bring up His Son.
\nYou go to Isaiah chapter 60. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:27,690 –> 00:17:32,850
\nSo Naz was chosen for that new
\nbranch out of the stump of David<\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:33,130 –> 00:17:39,290
\nto grow again.
\nAnd we just read in verse 21, <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:40,010 –> 00:17:44,720
\nThy people also shall be all
\nrighteous, they shall inherit <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:44,720 –> 00:17:48,200
\nthe land forever.
\nThe branch of my planting as the<\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:52,880
\nLord Jesus Christ, the work of
\nmy hands, that I may be <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:52,880 –> 00:17:57,160
\nglorified.
\nThat called for the education of<\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:57,280 –> 00:18:00,840
\nJesus in Nazareth, so that
\neventually a little one shall <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:00,840 –> 00:18:03,720
\nbecome 1000 and a small one, a
\nstrong nation. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,880
\nI Yahweh will hasten it in his
\ntime. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:07,880 –> 00:18:12,680
\nSo in a Chapter 11, Jesus called
\nthe branch the Netzer who lived <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:12,680 –> 00:18:18,000
\nin the place Natserrat, the
\nplace of branches, because there<\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:22,000
\nwere two branches there.
\nBrethren, sisters got that <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:28,280
\ncarefully chosen Mary to be the
\nmother of his son and Joseph as <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:28,280 –> 00:18:31,160
\na father figure.
\nThey were both descendants of <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:31,160 –> 00:18:33,560
\nthe House of David.
\nAs you can read in Matthew <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:33,560 –> 00:18:38,240
\nchapter 1 and Luke chapter 32,
\nbranches of the House of David <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:38,240 –> 00:18:42,880
\ncame together in the place of
\nbranches to bring forth the <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:42,880 –> 00:18:48,400
\nbranch that came out of that cut
\noff stump of the House of David.<\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:52,600
\nMary was descended from David
\nthrough Solomon and Joseph <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:52,600 –> 00:18:55,240
\nthrough another branch of David
\nthrough Nathan. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:55,520 –> 00:18:59,040
\nBoth were branches of the House
\nof David, living in the place of<\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:03,960
\nbranches to bring up the greater
\nbranch of the House of David. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:04,640 –> 00:19:07,920
\nIf you go to Psalm 80, it speaks
\nagain about the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:07,920 –> 00:19:11,400
\nChrist as a branch, and you can
\nsee how God has chosen that <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:11,400 –> 00:19:13,560
\nparticular place to make Him
\nstrong. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:13,760 –> 00:19:32,630
\nIn Psalm 80
\nand in verse 14, we return, we <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:32,630 –> 00:19:37,750
\nbeseech the Yabweh of armies,
\nlook down from heaven, and <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:37,750 –> 00:19:41,470
\nbehold, and visit this vine and
\nthe vineyard which thy right <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:41,470 –> 00:19:45,710
\nhand has planted, and the branch
\nthat made us strong for thyself.<\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:46,640 –> 00:19:48,360
\nIt’s burnt his fire, it’s cut
\ndown. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:48,360 –> 00:19:50,720
\nThey perish as the rebuke of thy
\ncountenance. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:51,160 –> 00:19:55,640
\nBut let thy hand be upon the man
\nof thy right hand, upon the Son <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:55,640 –> 00:19:58,160
\nof man.
\nThat is the branch whom thou <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:58,160 –> 00:20:04,280
\nmade this strong for thyself.
\nAnd so God has chosen that place<\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:04,520 –> 00:20:08,640
\nin Nazareth to educate His Son,
\nto prepare him for a very <\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:12,160
\ndifficult public ministry,
\nactually in Hebrew. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:12,520 –> 00:20:17,080
\nThe word for Christians is not,
\nnot sreen Nazarenes. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:17,520 –> 00:20:21,040
\nThe Jews call us Christians
\nNazarenes, not sreen. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:23,160 –> 00:20:25,640
\nHave you just imagine how Jesus
\nwould have grown up there? <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:28,000
\nBecause he grew up in quite a
\nlarge family. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:31,400
\nHe was the eldest in the family.
\nJoseph and Mary had other <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:33,120
\nchildren.
\nWe know some of the names like <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:33,120 –> 00:20:36,600
\nJames and Joseph, Jude and their
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:37,480 –> 00:20:41,680
\nSo Jesus grew up in quite a
\nlively family, and if you go <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:41,680 –> 00:20:45,640
\nthrough the epistles of James
\nand of Jude, it’s quite clear <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:45,640 –> 00:20:47,480
\nthat they knew their Bible
\nstories. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:48,040 –> 00:20:51,400
\nThey knew the stories of Sodom
\nand Gomorrah, of Cora Jason, and<\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:51,400 –> 00:20:56,280
\nthe Byron of Adam and of Enoch.
\nSo we can imagine that Jesus and<\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:56,280 –> 00:20:59,440
\nhis brothers and his sisters
\ngrew up in the family with the <\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:59,440 –> 00:21:02,880
\nBible that was being read every
\nday. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:03,200 –> 00:21:06,760
\nA beautiful example for our
\nfamilies, brother sisters, as <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:06,760 –> 00:21:10,840
\nmost of the families do, reading
\nthe word of God and making those<\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:10,840 –> 00:21:14,480
\nstories of the Bible alive so
\nthat they will remember them. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:19,880
\nSo when Jesus was growing up,
\nMary must have told Jesus slowly<\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:20,160 –> 00:21:23,960
\nall that had happened to her.
\nFrom the time that the Angel <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:23,960 –> 00:21:28,400
\ngave your first appeared to her
\nin Nazareth, there has been a <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:33,800
\ntime when Jesus asked his
\nmother, why do the kids call me <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:33,800 –> 00:21:39,160
\nby that B word.
\nAnd he had to listen to that <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:39,160 –> 00:21:44,080
\nexplanation that people don’t
\nunderstand the power of God, <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:44,080 –> 00:21:47,000
\nwhich he had experienced in her
\nown body. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:47,520 –> 00:21:52,880
\nAnd he had a sharp mind and but
\nMary had to find out how much at<\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:52,880 –> 00:21:55,840
\na young age he could absorb.
\nBut he was made of quick <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:55,840 –> 00:22:00,880
\nunderstanding and he must have
\nsurprised her quite a few times <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:00,880 –> 00:22:05,200
\nwith his understanding because
\nhis ears were open from a young <\/p>\n
319
\n00:22:05,200 –> 00:22:06,320
\nage.
\nHe started to read the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:09,120
\nscriptures himself and praying
\nto his father. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:09,120 –> 00:22:12,360
\nThat is how God spoke to him.
\nAnd he grew up with the <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:12,360 –> 00:22:16,880
\nknowledge of his father.
\nBut of course, as any child, if <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:16,880 –> 00:22:20,200
\nyou live in a place, eventually
\nyou want to spread your wings <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:23,200
\nand you want to expand your
\nhorizons. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:23,600 –> 00:22:27,280
\nNow here we see a map where
\nNazareth is located. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:31,720
\nSo Nazareth is right here in
\nbetween the Sea of Galilee and <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:31,720 –> 00:22:36,160
\nthe Mediterranean Sea.
\nRight in in the South is the <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:36,320 –> 00:22:40,800
\nJezreel valley.
\nMount Tabor is very nearby and a<\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:44,840
\nplace which has been excavated
\nSephoris and that is more or <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:44,840 –> 00:22:50,120
\nless the surroundings with
\nAngharad and Mount Kilboa where <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:50,120 –> 00:22:52,240
\nJesus grew up.
\nSo I can just imagine him <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:52,760 –> 00:22:56,640
\nleaving home and creeping up the
\nbrow of the hill and then <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:56,640 –> 00:23:00,360
\nlooking out and what did he see?
\nEventually you would have <\/p>\n
334
\n00:23:00,360 –> 00:23:03,920
\nventured further afield.
\nFrom Nazareth you can go to <\/p>\n
335
\n00:23:04,080 –> 00:23:07,080
\nZephyrus and then to Cana of
\nGalilee, where he went later on.<\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:07,080 –> 00:23:09,840
\nAnd it’s not too far to go to
\nCapernaum. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:10,440 –> 00:23:14,600
\nAnd so all those places which we
\nread about were quite close by. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:18,840
\nAnd actually right here beside
\nin between Nazareth, just to the<\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:18,840 –> 00:23:21,360
\nnorthward is the tomb of the
\nprophet Jonah. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:21,840 –> 00:23:24,800
\nIt’s also features heavily in
\nthe life of Christ. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:25,840 –> 00:23:29,320
\nIf you stand on the top of Mount
\nTabor, that’s where you can see <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:29,320 –> 00:23:32,600
\nNazareth located here.
\nIt was in the deep here just <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:32,600 –> 00:23:37,040
\nbehind the hills.
\nAnd so Jesus Rudhev grown up <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:41,280
\nclose to the home inside the
\nvillage, but eventually climbing<\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:41,280 –> 00:23:43,840
\nup over the mountain and and
\nlook over the horizon. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:43,840 –> 00:23:46,640
\nAnd what did he see?
\nWell, the first thing he saw was<\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:46,640 –> 00:23:51,000
\nthat special mount, Mount Tabor
\nright in front of his eyes. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:51,520 –> 00:23:55,000
\nAnd it would have been
\nremembering all the stories of <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:55,000 –> 00:24:00,000
\nDeborah and of Barack and of
\nGideon and his 300 men of Seoul <\/p>\n
350
\n00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:02,360
\nlosing the battle and dying on
\nMount Kilboa. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:24:03,080 –> 00:24:07,120
\nBut you can see actually from
\nfrom Nazareth, this is a <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:07,120 –> 00:24:08,880
\nphotograph taken from Mount
\nCarmel. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:09,360 –> 00:24:12,400
\nSo it’s fairly to the West.
\nWe can see the whole of the <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:12,400 –> 00:24:17,440
\nJezreel Valley.
\nAnd here is Nazareth, and here’s<\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:17,440 –> 00:24:23,160
\nMount Tabor.
\nThat was his field of vision. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:28,120
\nAnd knowing the Scriptures, it’s
\nsuch great fun burden, sister, <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:28,120 –> 00:24:31,600
\nto travel through the land of
\nIsrael to go a place open by. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:31,800 –> 00:24:34,480
\nOh, this happened here.
\nYou understand why? <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:34,880 –> 00:24:37,960
\nWhat did he see?
\nWhat did he recognise apart from<\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:37,960 –> 00:24:39,880
\nMount Carmel on which we are
\nstanding? <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:42,400 –> 00:24:49,720
\nWell, here’s Nazareth, here’s
\nTabor, here’s Endor, here’s the <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:49,720 –> 00:24:54,880
\nhill of Moray, here’s the well
\nof Kharghod, Jezreel, and Mount <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:54,880 –> 00:24:57,440
\nGilboa.
\nAnd here the Jezreel Valley and <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:57,440 –> 00:25:00,800
\nthe Kishon River running right
\nthrough there were the <\/p>\n
365
\n00:25:00,800 –> 00:25:04,440
\nassociations.
\nThere are as all those places on<\/p>\n
366
\n00:25:04,440 –> 00:25:06,640
\nMount Tabor.
\nProbably Jesus was later <\/p>\n
367
\n00:25:07,920 –> 00:25:12,520
\ntransformed into His glory.
\nBut look at Mount Gilboa and the<\/p>\n
368
\n00:25:12,520 –> 00:25:15,200
\nwell of Kharghod.
\nWe have the great victory of <\/p>\n
369
\n00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:19,080
\nGideon with 300 men overcoming
\nthe Midianites who were there on<\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:19,080 –> 00:25:24,160
\nthe hill of Mohair and the 300
\nmen of the mighty army. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:25,000 –> 00:25:26,920
\nBut later, when Saul was
\nfighting against the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:26,920 –> 00:25:31,360
\nPhilistines, he was in the same
\nlocation he was in, just real. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:32,160 –> 00:25:35,840
\nThe Philistines were on the hill
\nof Mohair. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:36,680 –> 00:25:40,760
\nEndors on the other side for
\nSaul to breakthrough, to go to <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:40,760 –> 00:25:44,160
\nEndor, to go through the ranks
\nof the Philistines and talk to <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:44,160 –> 00:25:48,360
\nthat witch in Endor.
\nBut he never learnt anything <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:48,360 –> 00:25:51,200
\nfrom what he saw.
\nHe didn’t realise he was in the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:51,200 –> 00:25:55,360
\nsame place where Gideon with 300
\nmighty men overcame a huge army,<\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:55,360 –> 00:25:59,280
\nbut bigger than the Philistines.
\nTherefore it is a much larger <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:59,280 –> 00:26:01,120
\narmy.
\nHe lost the battle. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:26:01,920 –> 00:26:06,200
\nWhat lessons were than sisters
\nMount Tabar where we got Deborah<\/p>\n
382
\n00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:09,960
\nand Barak calling all the tribes
\ntogether, Issachar and Naftali <\/p>\n
383
\n00:26:10,160 –> 00:26:12,200
\nand Zebulun fighting against the
\ncanines. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:16,280
\nWe had to flee away and the the
\nthe views of the church were <\/p>\n
385
\n00:26:16,400 –> 00:26:19,800
\nstuck in the Kishung River which
\noverflows its banks. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:19,800 –> 00:26:23,840
\nNow when we do our readings ban,
\nthis is get an Atlas out, get <\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:23,840 –> 00:26:27,760
\nthe map out, and see what
\nhappened in those particular <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:27,760 –> 00:26:30,640
\nplaces, because the power of
\nthose places is overwhelming at <\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:30,640 –> 00:26:33,760
\ntimes and we only neglect him at
\nour peril. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:37,280 –> 00:26:40,600
\nSo here’s Nazareth then, viewed
\nfrom sufferers. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:40,640 –> 00:26:42,960
\nThe Jesuit Valley is on the
\nother side, and this is <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:43,400 –> 00:26:45,720
\nNazareth.
\nWe told that Jesus was a <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:48,880
\nCarpenter.
\nI don’t think he was actually, <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:50,120 –> 00:26:53,680
\nbecause the Greek word for a
\nCarpenter is tecton. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:53,680 –> 00:26:58,040
\nIt means a Craftsman, a
\nCraftsman in hard materials. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:58,040 –> 00:27:02,040
\nIt could be wood, it could be
\nstone or metal or precious <\/p>\n
397
\n00:27:02,040 –> 00:27:03,880
\nstones.
\nThat’s what Jesus did. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:27:03,880 –> 00:27:07,800
\nBut the interesting thing is
\nthat Belgies was growing up, a <\/p>\n
399
\n00:27:07,800 –> 00:27:12,160
\nnew city was being built,
\nSephorus, a Roman city, <\/p>\n
400
\n00:27:12,920 –> 00:27:15,080
\nbeautiful buildings and a
\ntheatre. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:27:15,680 –> 00:27:18,680
\nAnd it has been suggested that
\nJesus actually worked with his <\/p>\n
402
\n00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:22,400
\ndad was was Joseph, at least in
\nthis particular place. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:22,400 –> 00:27:25,120
\nAnd every morning he would walk
\nfor an hour or so. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:25,120 –> 00:27:27,880
\nHe was through the fields,
\npassing by the tomb of Jonah and<\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:28,120 –> 00:27:33,280
\nthen going to Sephorus.
\nWhile he was walking through the<\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:33,280 –> 00:27:37,360
\nfields, he was very observant.
\nHe knows the flowers of the <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:37,360 –> 00:27:38,880
\nfield.
\nDo you look at the flowers of <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:38,880 –> 00:27:41,120
\nthe field?
\nAnd do we think of the <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:41,120 –> 00:27:44,800
\nscriptural lessons Jesus did?
\nHe saw the birds of the airs <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:44,800 –> 00:27:47,640
\nflying overhead, learned the
\nlessons from it. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:48,240 –> 00:27:52,400
\nHe saw the soil and the grain in
\nthat every time, walking to work<\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:52,400 –> 00:27:55,960
\nand back again.
\nHe was an observant young man. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:56,280 –> 00:27:59,920
\nHe noticed everything.
\nAnd so should we, Brendan <\/p>\n
414
\n00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:02,360
\nsisters, because when you look
\nat the parables, they’re all <\/p>\n
415
\n00:28:02,360 –> 00:28:05,960
\ntaken from his walk from
\nNazareth to work and back again.<\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:06,200 –> 00:28:09,120
\nHe saw farmers working,
\nploughing, sowing, weeding and <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:09,120 –> 00:28:11,160
\nweeping.
\nThe fields were full of flowers <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:11,160 –> 00:28:14,480
\nand birds which later featured
\nin the sayings of Jesus. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:15,080 –> 00:28:17,400
\nIt knows.
\nIt shows that we also need to be<\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:21,360
\nobservant, use our eyes and our
\nears and our noses, our brains <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:21,760 –> 00:28:24,320
\nand use the scripture as our
\nguide. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:25,200 –> 00:28:30,000
\nNow the Sepphoris is then not
\nfar away, only hours walk and we<\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:30,000 –> 00:28:32,240
\nimagine Jesus walking there
\ngoing to work. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:32,600 –> 00:28:36,600
\nYou can go there today and you
\ncan see the beautiful paved St. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:42,160
\nwhich had calms on both sides to
\nthe citadel high on top and <\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:42,560 –> 00:28:44,600
\ninside.
\nHere they’ve reconstructed a <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:44,680 –> 00:28:47,480
\nhouse with a beautiful mosaic
\nfloor. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:51,720
\nThe centrepiece was the the face
\nof the woman of the house called<\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:51,720 –> 00:28:55,120
\na Mona Lisa of Sapphiris.
\nBut that city was being built at<\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:55,120 –> 00:28:59,480
\nthat particular time and there
\nwas a theatre being built as <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:59,480 –> 00:29:02,120
\nwell at the very time when Jesus
\nwas growing up. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:02,600 –> 00:29:06,360
\nThere’s a normal theatre cutting
\nthe mountainside with a stone. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:06,560 –> 00:29:11,720
\nBenches cut exactly every stone
\nto shape and it’s just wonderful<\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:11,720 –> 00:29:15,520
\nto be able to go there and sit
\nand contemplate on Jesus. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:17,440 –> 00:29:21,520
\nIf you think, if you go through
\nthe Gospels, look at the <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:21,520 –> 00:29:26,760
\nreferences to wood and the
\nreferences to stone, only one of<\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:26,760 –> 00:29:30,400
\nwood splinter in your eye.
\nBut there are hundreds of stone <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:31,280 –> 00:29:35,920
\nand the word hypocrite has been
\nused 17 times by Jesus. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:36,320 –> 00:29:41,520
\nWhy did he use the word
\nhypocrite actually portrayed the<\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:41,520 –> 00:29:43,640
\ncarrot of the Pharisees and the
\nSadducees? <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:43,640 –> 00:29:50,080
\nBecause the word hypocrite is an
\nactor who puts on a mask, and <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:50,080 –> 00:29:53,640
\nall these masks have been found
\nin different places because they<\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:53,640 –> 00:29:57,960
\npretend to be somebody else.
\nAnd Jesus learned that language <\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:58,000 –> 00:30:01,360
\nof a hypocrite in the theatre of
\nZeprat, which he actually may <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:01,360 –> 00:30:05,120
\nhave helped building himself.
\nLook at all the reference to <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:05,120 –> 00:30:08,040
\nstone, the stone which the
\nbuilders rejected, Cephas, <\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:08,040 –> 00:30:12,520
\nCephas, a stone, but one stone
\nleft upon another got him of the<\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:12,520 –> 00:30:16,000
\nstones to raise up, and so on.
\nJesus knew everything about <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:16,240 –> 00:30:20,680
\nhouse building, about stones,
\nmuch more than woodworking. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:20,680 –> 00:30:24,040
\nSo all those nice pictures of
\nJesus in the little carpet shop <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:24,040 –> 00:30:27,360
\nwith his father Joseph and the
\nblaming piece of wood is all <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:27,360 –> 00:30:32,920
\nnonsense.
\nSo we know where he lived, but <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:32,920 –> 00:30:36,440
\nwhat do we know?
\nHim as a growing teenager and as<\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:36,440 –> 00:30:39,280
\na young man.
\nLet’s go to Luke chapter 2. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:45,450 –> 00:30:49,210
\nI think the more we realise
\nunder what circumstances and in <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:49,210 –> 00:30:52,650
\nwhat powerful place Jesus was
\nbrought up, a place chosen by <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:52,650 –> 00:30:58,490
\nGod, then he also understands
\nthat he used all those 30 years <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:59,130 –> 00:31:00,730
\nto prepare himself for the
\nministry. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:00,730 –> 00:31:05,370
\nHe learned all those lessons
\nbefore he spoke to the spoke to <\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:05,370 –> 00:31:09,490
\nthe people in verse 40 of Luke
\nchapter 2. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:11,640 –> 00:31:14,960
\nThe child grew well.
\nChildren can’t help that. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:15,240 –> 00:31:17,280
\nI see some students here that
\nhaven’t seen for three years. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:17,280 –> 00:31:19,480
\nMy goodness, they’re almost
\ntaller than I am now. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:19,800 –> 00:31:24,120
\nSo that’s quite normal.
\nBut they vexed. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:24,200 –> 00:31:29,040
\nHe vexed strong in spirit.
\nHe was filled with wisdom and <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:29,040 –> 00:31:33,040
\nthe grace of God was upon him.
\nWe need to give proper <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:33,040 –> 00:31:35,280
\nnourishment to our children so
\nthey can grow up and they do <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:35,280 –> 00:31:38,440
\nthat whatever you do, but to
\nfill them with wisdom. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:38,440 –> 00:31:41,280
\nWe can only do bread and sister
\nby reading the scripture with <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:41,280 –> 00:31:44,760
\nthem and making it a life and
\nillustrated with lessons from <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:44,760 –> 00:31:47,480
\nlife.
\nAnd the grace of God was upon <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:47,480 –> 00:31:49,160
\nhim.
\nThat’s wonderful. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:49,160 –> 00:31:54,400
\nAnd then in verse 52 we see that
\nJesus increased in wisdom and in<\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:54,400 –> 00:31:58,880
\nstature and in favour with God
\nand man. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:00,240 –> 00:32:03,000
\nSo the place was well chosen and
\nmade me think about the <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:03,000 –> 00:32:04,800
\neducation of our children, Bread
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:05,680 –> 00:32:09,040
\nIt’s not always the the top
\ngrade university that is the <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:09,040 –> 00:32:12,800
\nbest education for our children.
\nThey need to be educated and I <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:12,840 –> 00:32:14,800
\nfully agree with that.
\nWe need to have a job, but <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:14,800 –> 00:32:16,840
\nthat’s the only reason why we
\nshould be educated. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:17,120 –> 00:32:20,600
\nThe greatest education is in the
\nWord of God because that gives <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:24,840
\nthem wisdom and understanding,
\nnot just knowledge which you can<\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:24,840 –> 00:32:30,920
\nget in many, many places.
\nBut think of this little country<\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:30,920 –> 00:32:33,400
\nbumpkin, as people would perhaps
\ncall him in the little village <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:33,400 –> 00:32:36,560
\nof Nazareth, now going for the
\nfirst time to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:39,640
\nWhat an impression that would
\nhave made on him. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:40,120 –> 00:32:44,760
\nOne more thing has said it.
\nOn his way to Sephorus, he <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:44,760 –> 00:32:47,480
\npassed by the tomb of Jonah.
\nThere’s still a mount Jonah <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:47,480 –> 00:32:50,840
\ncalled here and he says an evil
\nin the daughter’s generation <\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:50,840 –> 00:32:54,000
\nseeketh after sign, and shall no
\nsign be given it to it, but the <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:56,880
\nsign of the prophet Jonah,
\nbecause John was three days and <\/p>\n
492
\n00:32:56,880 –> 00:32:59,600
\nthree nights in the middle’s
\nbelly, so shall the Son of Man <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:59,600 –> 00:33:02,440
\nbe 3 days and three nights in
\nthe heart of the earth. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:03,000 –> 00:33:05,400
\nAnd he has learned that already
\nwhen he was growing up in in <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:05,400 –> 00:33:10,880
\nNazareth, but now 12 years old.
\nWhat an excitement. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:11,320 –> 00:33:15,280
\nWe’re going now to the temple.
\nAnd that is not another very <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:15,280 –> 00:33:17,800
\npowerful place.
\nWe’re still in Luke chapter 2. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:18,280 –> 00:33:24,520
\nAnd let us read from verse 41.
\nNow, as parents went to <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:24,520 –> 00:33:29,120
\nJerusalem every year at the
\nfeast of Passover, what a <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:29,120 –> 00:33:33,160
\nfaithful family.
\nEvery year they went to <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:33,160 –> 00:33:36,360
\nJerusalem, they must have left
\ntheir little children behind. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:36,840 –> 00:33:39,560
\nIt shows they lived in the
\ncommunity of caring brothers, <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:39,560 –> 00:33:42,080
\nsisters who would look after
\ntheir children if their parents <\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:42,080 –> 00:33:44,120
\nwent to Jerusalem.
\nAnd it’s a long journey. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:44,120 –> 00:33:46,080
\nIt took perhaps a couple of
\nweeks before they were back <\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:46,080 –> 00:33:50,520
\nagain.
\nSo it’s good to create good <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:50,520 –> 00:33:53,800
\ncustoms to go to the meeting on
\na Sunday in the go to the <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:53,800 –> 00:33:56,480
\nlecture, go to Bible class,
\nbring your kids to Sunday <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:56,480 –> 00:33:59,360
\nschool, to Bible schools,
\nwherever they can make friends <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:59,360 –> 00:34:02,880
\nand learn about God.
\nSo when he was 12 years old, he <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:02,880 –> 00:34:07,360
\nwas being so excited he went up
\nto Jerusalem at the custom of <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:07,360 –> 00:34:10,280
\nthe feast.
\nAnd then they had fulfilled the <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:10,280 –> 00:34:12,760
\ndays.
\nAs they returned, the child <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:12,760 –> 00:34:16,080
\nJesus tarried behind in
\nJerusalem, and Joseph and his <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:16,080 –> 00:34:20,080
\nmother knew not of it.
\nBut they look how comforting <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:20,080 –> 00:34:22,520
\nthis is, supposing him to be in
\nthe company. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:23,840 –> 00:34:26,199
\nAnd that’s so good, brothers,
\nsisters, to bring up your <\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:26,199 –> 00:34:28,400
\nchildren in the Christian
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:34:28,400 –> 00:34:31,000
\nWe always didn’t know where our
\nchildren were, but there would <\/p>\n
520
\n00:34:31,000 –> 00:34:33,239
\nbe always brothers, sisters
\nlooking after them, and we would<\/p>\n
521
\n00:34:33,239 –> 00:34:37,840
\nbring them together again.
\nSo they supposed him to have <\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:37,840 –> 00:34:40,000
\nbeen in the company.
\nHe went for a whole day’s <\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:42,400
\njourney, for 24 hours.
\nThey’d even bought it. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:42,600 –> 00:34:44,960
\nBecause he will be all right,
\nbecause the other brothers and <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:44,960 –> 00:34:48,040
\nsisters will take care of him.
\nBut then they started to get <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:48,040 –> 00:34:50,560
\nworried and sought him among
\ntheir kinsfroken acquaintance. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:50,920 –> 00:34:54,040
\nThey found him not they really
\ngot worried now, and they turned<\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:54,040 –> 00:34:55,960
\nback again to Jerusalem, seeking
\nhim. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:56,960 –> 00:34:59,440
\nAnd it came to pass that after
\nthree days they found him in the<\/p>\n
530
\n00:34:59,440 –> 00:35:02,440
\nTemple, sitting in the midst of
\nthe doctors, both hearing them <\/p>\n
531
\n00:35:02,440 –> 00:35:05,360
\nand asking them questions.
\nHe used every opportunity by an <\/p>\n
532
\n00:35:05,360 –> 00:35:08,640
\nassistor to to to challenge the
\nthe authorities and to see how <\/p>\n
533
\n00:35:08,640 –> 00:35:11,320
\nmuch they knew and how much he
\nknew he wanted to learn from <\/p>\n
534
\n00:35:11,320 –> 00:35:13,400
\nthem.
\nBut for actually the elevator <\/p>\n
535
\n00:35:14,160 –> 00:35:16,000
\nround happened.
\nI learned from him because all <\/p>\n
536
\n00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:19,640
\nthat hurt him were astonished at
\nhis understanding and answers. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:20,480 –> 00:35:22,480
\nAnd we can say, of course, you
\nhad the Spirit of God. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:22,480 –> 00:35:25,120
\nNo, he didn’t bring the sisters.
\nThat only happened when he was <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:25,120 –> 00:35:28,120
\n30 years old.
\nI’m sure he was reading the <\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:28,120 –> 00:35:32,440
\nscriptures because we suggested
\nwhen those three wise men came <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:32,440 –> 00:35:36,880
\nto to Bethlehem, that gold and
\nfrankincense and myrrh, not for <\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:36,880 –> 00:35:39,360
\nJoseph, for Mary, for the baby
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:39,360 –> 00:35:41,920
\nWhat can the baby do with gold?
\nWhat does the baby do with <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:41,920 –> 00:35:45,320
\nfrankincense and myrrh?
\nIt has been suggested, I can’t <\/p>\n
545
\n00:35:45,320 –> 00:35:48,440
\nprove it at all, but that they
\nwould have kept that money for <\/p>\n
546
\n00:35:48,440 –> 00:35:51,680
\nJesus and they would have bought
\nscrolls for him when he was <\/p>\n
547
\n00:35:51,680 –> 00:35:54,400
\ngrowing up.
\nIf you look at the references to<\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:54,400 –> 00:35:57,120
\nthe Old Testament in the
\nGospels, there are three books <\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:57,120 –> 00:36:01,520
\nthat stand out, Deuteronomy,
\nPsalms and Isaiah. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:02,240 –> 00:36:03,840
\nAnd I believe he had those
\nscrolls himself. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:03,840 –> 00:36:06,760
\nHe would have learnt reading
\nHebrew in synagogue with his own<\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:06,760 –> 00:36:08,200
\nscrolls.
\nHe was reading them. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:08,400 –> 00:36:12,040
\nAnd in that reading he God
\nopened his ears and he would <\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:12,040 –> 00:36:16,640
\nhave asked him for wisdom.
\nAnd God gave it to him, but now <\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:16,880 –> 00:36:18,800
\nbecome.
\nWhen they found him in the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:18,800 –> 00:36:21,800
\ntemple, it was 47.
\nThey were astonished at his <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:21,800 –> 00:36:24,360
\nunderstanding and answers.
\nAnd they when their son, they <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:24,360 –> 00:36:29,120
\nwere amazed, his mother said
\nunto him, Son, why hast thou <\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:29,120 –> 00:36:33,480
\ndealt thus with us?
\nWe all thy father, and I sought <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:33,480 –> 00:36:38,560
\nthee, sorrowing thy father.
\nJoseph wasn’t his father. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:36:39,200 –> 00:36:43,360
\nGod was his father.
\nAnd he said to them, How is it <\/p>\n
562
\n00:36:43,360 –> 00:36:48,320
\nthat he sought me?
\nIs he not that I must be in my <\/p>\n
563
\n00:36:48,320 –> 00:36:51,840
\nfather’s house?
\nGod was his father. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:36:51,880 –> 00:36:55,480
\nHe knew that at the age of 12.
\nHe was never disrespectful to <\/p>\n
565
\n00:36:55,480 –> 00:36:57,480
\nhis parents.
\nHe was never disrespectful to <\/p>\n
566
\n00:36:57,480 –> 00:37:00,800
\nJoseph, but he knew that God was
\nHis Father. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:01,560 –> 00:37:05,520
\nWe talked early about children
\nbeing obedient because his <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:05,520 –> 00:37:08,560
\nparents, if he was 15, did not
\nunderstand the saying which He’s<\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:08,560 –> 00:37:11,160
\nspoken to them.
\nThey had still much to learn. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:11,520 –> 00:37:17,040
\nBut look, the Son of God, such a
\nwise young man, could hold a <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:17,040 –> 00:37:20,160
\nconversation with the wise sages
\nof Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:20,160 –> 00:37:24,200
\nHe went down with them, He came
\nto Nazareth, and He was subject <\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:24,200 –> 00:37:28,680
\nunto them.
\nBut His mother kept all these <\/p>\n
574
\n00:37:28,680 –> 00:37:33,240
\nsayings in her heart.
\nGovernment went to Jerusalem, or<\/p>\n
575
\n00:37:33,240 –> 00:37:37,400
\ndid he see?
\nWhat do you know about the <\/p>\n
576
\n00:37:37,400 –> 00:37:41,080
\nTemple?
\nNowadays we can see the Temple <\/p>\n
577
\n00:37:41,080 –> 00:37:44,920
\nMount, and the Dome of the Rock
\nstands where the Temple Mount <\/p>\n
578
\n00:37:44,920 –> 00:37:46,400
\nstood.
\nHe used the Easter Wall of the <\/p>\n
579
\n00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:49,760
\nTemple Mount, the southern wall,
\nand having worked there for many<\/p>\n
580
\n00:37:49,760 –> 00:37:52,960
\nyears, we was able to make
\nreconstruction drawings. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:55,400
\nThese ones were done for the ESV
\nstudy Bible. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:37:55,400 –> 00:38:00,320
\nIt shows a huge complex.
\nThe sun was 280 meters long and <\/p>\n
583
\n00:38:00,680 –> 00:38:03,120
\n500 meters long, half a
\nkilometre long. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:38:03,560 –> 00:38:07,680
\nIstanbul and Westernbul and the
\ntemple stood there in the in the<\/p>\n
585
\n00:38:07,960 –> 00:38:11,600
\nin the centre, surrounded by the
\nbuildings of the temple. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:38:11,960 –> 00:38:14,840
\nThere are porticoes built all
\naround the temple, and the <\/p>\n
587
\n00:38:14,840 –> 00:38:18,280
\nAntonia Fort was there.
\nThat was the temple complex <\/p>\n
588
\n00:38:18,520 –> 00:38:21,000
\nwhich Jesus saw for the first
\ntime. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:38:21,360 –> 00:38:24,600
\nHere’s the Western Wall was
\nRobinson’s Arts and Warrensgate,<\/p>\n
590
\n00:38:25,200 –> 00:38:28,360
\nBarclays and Wilson’s Arts, a
\nmassive complex. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:38:28,360 –> 00:38:31,440
\nIt’s an astonishing complex.
\nAnd coming from a small village <\/p>\n
592
\n00:38:31,440 –> 00:38:34,960
\nof Nazareth, it must be
\nabsolutely overwhelming to see <\/p>\n
593
\n00:38:34,960 –> 00:38:36,240
\nthis.
\nBut he saw everything in <\/p>\n
594
\n00:38:36,240 –> 00:38:39,480
\nperspective.
\nHe still called this my father’s<\/p>\n
595
\n00:38:39,480 –> 00:38:42,040
\nhouse.
\nAnd so we were able to build a <\/p>\n
596
\n00:38:42,040 –> 00:38:46,200
\nmodel a long time ago.
\nAnd based on the these these <\/p>\n
597
\n00:38:46,200 –> 00:38:49,120
\ndrawings, you can see the
\ntemple, how high it was covered <\/p>\n
598
\n00:38:49,120 –> 00:38:52,320
\nover his gold towering over the
\nwhole temple complex. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:38:52,600 –> 00:38:54,960
\nAnd that was where God’s
\npresence was. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:38:55,320 –> 00:38:57,920
\nAnd Jesus knew this is my
\nfather’s house. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:38:58,800 –> 00:39:02,480
\nNow here’s the temple itself all
\ncovered over with gold. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:39:02,480 –> 00:39:05,120
\nHere’s the holy place where
\nyesterday we looked at how <\/p>\n
603
\n00:39:05,120 –> 00:39:10,480
\nZecharias was offering incense.
\nHe’s a massive veil separating <\/p>\n
604
\n00:39:10,480 –> 00:39:13,880
\nthe holy from the most holy.
\nBut Jesus, of course, he came <\/p>\n
605
\n00:39:13,880 –> 00:39:16,520
\nfrom the tribe of Judah.
\nHe wasn’t allowed in this <\/p>\n
606
\n00:39:16,520 –> 00:39:20,120
\ntemple.
\nAround the temple were the <\/p>\n
607
\n00:39:20,120 –> 00:39:23,160
\ncourts, several courts, the
\ntemple court, the court of the <\/p>\n
608
\n00:39:23,160 –> 00:39:25,120
\nIsraelites, and it’s the court
\nof the women. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:39:25,400 –> 00:39:28,600
\nAnd that is where all Israelites
\nthat were purified were allowed <\/p>\n
610
\n00:39:28,600 –> 00:39:30,520
\ntogether was called the
\ntreasury. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:39:30,880 –> 00:39:33,000
\nAnd because genius did a lot of
\nteaching there. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:39:33,760 –> 00:39:38,040
\nSo this magnificent complex, Mr.
\nRoyal stole a hole at a sudden <\/p>\n
613
\n00:39:38,040 –> 00:39:41,120
\nend where the money change was
\nsitting, and he was observing <\/p>\n
614
\n00:39:41,480 –> 00:39:43,760
\nhow they were fleecing the
\ntourists like they do nowadays <\/p>\n
615
\n00:39:43,760 –> 00:39:47,160
\nin most Middle Middle Eastern
\ncities and later. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:39:47,160 –> 00:39:49,720
\nAnd he was grown up.
\nHe took a court and he threw <\/p>\n
617
\n00:39:49,720 –> 00:39:52,360
\nthem all out of his father’s
\nhouse because they were defiling<\/p>\n
618
\n00:39:52,600 –> 00:39:56,720
\nthe House of his father.
\nAnd he was presented as a baby. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:39:56,720 –> 00:40:00,640
\nThat happened in this courtyard.
\nHere he met Simeon and Anna the <\/p>\n
620
\n00:40:00,640 –> 00:40:04,520
\nprophetess.
\nAnd under the colonnades were <\/p>\n
621
\n00:40:04,520 –> 00:40:07,280
\nmoney boxes.
\nWhich had a copper funnel to <\/p>\n
622
\n00:40:07,280 –> 00:40:10,680
\nguide the money into the box.
\nSo when Jesus laid it, saw the <\/p>\n
623
\n00:40:11,120 –> 00:40:14,320
\npoor widow cast in the last two
\nnights, he could hear by the <\/p>\n
624
\n00:40:14,320 –> 00:40:18,280
\nsound of those two little coins
\ngoing into that box, He knew <\/p>\n
625
\n00:40:18,280 –> 00:40:20,200
\nexactly how much she has cast
\nin. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:40:20,200 –> 00:40:23,160
\nIn contrast to the Pharisees
\nwith a big handful of shackles, <\/p>\n
627
\n00:40:23,160 –> 00:40:26,000
\nheavy coins and clank, clank,
\nclank, everybody knew how much <\/p>\n
628
\n00:40:26,000 –> 00:40:28,680
\nthey threw in.
\nSo Jesus learnt all those <\/p>\n
629
\n00:40:28,680 –> 00:40:33,640
\nlessons, but he went there at
\nthe time of Passover and it’s a <\/p>\n
630
\n00:40:33,640 –> 00:40:38,200
\nvery important feast, of course,
\nin the calendar of the Jews. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:40:39,120 –> 00:40:41,560
\nPeter and John, for example,
\nwere told by Jesus to kill the <\/p>\n
632
\n00:40:41,560 –> 00:40:43,560
\nPassover.
\nThey would have stood in this <\/p>\n
633
\n00:40:43,560 –> 00:40:48,280
\nrow in a line with a little
\nsheep, and the priest at the end<\/p>\n
634
\n00:40:48,280 –> 00:40:51,880
\nof this row would cut the
\njugular vein, catch the blood in<\/p>\n
635
\n00:40:51,880 –> 00:40:55,400
\nsilver and golden vessels passed
\nbetween rows of priests and <\/p>\n
636
\n00:40:55,400 –> 00:40:58,160
\nsplashed at the bottom of the
\naltar. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:40:59,080 –> 00:41:03,120
\nAnd so that was how they kept
\nthe Passover in the temple that <\/p>\n
638
\n00:41:03,120 –> 00:41:05,840
\nyou still keep the Passover
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:41:06,400 –> 00:41:10,120
\nAnd it’s quite interesting to
\nknow how they did it. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:41:10,280 –> 00:41:13,480
\nIf you read a Luke chapter was a
\n22. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:41:14,360 –> 00:41:15,920
\nWe read actually, we’re not
\ngoing to read it. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:41:16,360 –> 00:41:19,160
\nYou may remember that at least
\ntwo cups mentioned. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:41:21,480 –> 00:41:23,280
\nBut since you’re going there, I
\nmay as well follow you. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:41:33,360 –> 00:41:34,840
\nNow I’ve got to find myself as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:41:35,400 –> 00:41:38,160
\nIn verse 17 we read that he took
\nthe cup and gave thanks. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:41:38,160 –> 00:41:40,200
\nI said, take this and divide
\namong yourselves. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:41:40,600 –> 00:41:42,680
\nFor I say unto you, I will not
\ndrink of the fruit of the vine <\/p>\n
648
\n00:41:42,880 –> 00:41:48,920
\nunto the king of God shall come.
\nBut later on he said there was <\/p>\n
649
\n00:41:48,920 –> 00:41:51,120
\nanother cup, because then he
\ntook the bread. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:41:51,120 –> 00:41:53,240
\nThe verse 19 gave thanks and
\nbreak it. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:41:53,240 –> 00:41:55,960
\nAnd then verse 20 says like
\nthere’s also the cup after <\/p>\n
652
\n00:41:55,960 –> 00:41:58,720
\nsupper, saying this cup is the
\nnew covenant in my blood which <\/p>\n
653
\n00:41:58,720 –> 00:42:02,160
\nis shed for you.
\nThere are two cups I mentioned <\/p>\n
654
\n00:42:02,160 –> 00:42:05,640
\nhere.
\nActually the Jews still today, <\/p>\n
655
\n00:42:05,880 –> 00:42:10,160
\nas Jesus did at that particular
\ntime, drank 4 cups of wine. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:42:11,280 –> 00:42:16,480
\nWe were four cups of wine when
\nwe were still in Adelaide. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:42:16,480 –> 00:42:20,480
\nWe had a relationship with the
\nrabbi of Adelaide who let me <\/p>\n
658
\n00:42:20,480 –> 00:42:23,360
\ntake the students to the
\nsynagogue and they can see how a<\/p>\n
659
\n00:42:23,360 –> 00:42:26,240
\nsynagogue worked and all that.
\nBut we were invited once to his <\/p>\n
660
\n00:42:27,240 –> 00:42:30,400
\nPassover party because they must
\nalways have a Gentile there or, <\/p>\n
661
\n00:42:30,680 –> 00:42:32,840
\nor to sit on the empty chair of
\nElijah. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:42:33,320 –> 00:42:37,280
\nAnd he had his four cups.
\nAnd like it says in Psalm 23, my<\/p>\n
663
\n00:42:37,280 –> 00:42:39,760
\ncup flow is over.
\nHe had his first cup, quite a <\/p>\n
664
\n00:42:39,760 –> 00:42:43,680
\nbig cup, and it they filled it
\nout, overflowed and he drank it.<\/p>\n
665
\n00:42:43,680 –> 00:42:45,760
\nAnd he continued with his
\nPassover story. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:42:46,200 –> 00:42:48,280
\nBut after the 3rd and 4th cup,
\nhe didn’t know what he was <\/p>\n
667
\n00:42:48,280 –> 00:42:52,640
\ntalking about anymore.
\nThat is exactly the purpose of <\/p>\n
668
\n00:42:52,640 –> 00:42:56,720
\nit.
\nThe Jews like we just read in <\/p>\n
669
\n00:42:57,080 –> 00:43:01,200
\nverse 18, Jesus said I will not
\ndrink of the fruit of the vine <\/p>\n
670
\n00:43:01,920 –> 00:43:03,840
\nuntil the Kingdom of God shall
\ncome. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:43:05,000 –> 00:43:08,880
\nThe fruit of the vine is the
\ncollective name for those four <\/p>\n
672
\n00:43:08,880 –> 00:43:14,520
\ncups and all those cups have a
\nname and they take it from <\/p>\n
673
\n00:43:14,560 –> 00:43:17,160
\nExodus.
\nSo if you go to Exodus chapter <\/p>\n
674
\n00:43:17,160 –> 00:43:32,320
\n6.
\nTherefore say unto the children <\/p>\n
675
\n00:43:32,320 –> 00:43:37,360
\nof Israel, I am Yahweh, and
\nhere’s the name of the first <\/p>\n
676
\n00:43:37,360 –> 00:43:40,200
\ncup.
\nI will bring you out from under <\/p>\n
677
\n00:43:40,200 –> 00:43:42,840
\nthe burdens of the Egyptian.
\nThat was the first cup. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:43:43,160 –> 00:43:45,160
\nThe name of the first cup they
\ndrank at Passover. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:43:45,520 –> 00:43:48,800
\nI will bring you out from under
\nthe burdens of the Egyptians. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:43:49,440 –> 00:43:52,440
\nCup #2 was called.
\nI will rid you out of their <\/p>\n
681
\n00:43:52,440 –> 00:43:57,800
\nbondage.
\nThere’s a second cup, the third <\/p>\n
682
\n00:43:57,800 –> 00:44:00,760
\ncup.
\nIt’s called I will redeem you. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:44:01,280 –> 00:44:04,240
\nThat’s the cup of redemption,
\nand that’s actually the cup <\/p>\n
684
\n00:44:04,240 –> 00:44:09,080
\nwhich we drink every Sunday.
\nIf you know about the three cups<\/p>\n
685
\n00:44:09,080 –> 00:44:13,000
\nand you follow the the Passover
\nservice, then Jesus sent out <\/p>\n
686
\n00:44:13,000 –> 00:44:16,840
\nJudas just before they drank the
\nthird cup. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:44:17,640 –> 00:44:22,360
\nJesus was very merciful, but he
\nwouldn’t let a betrayer drink of<\/p>\n
688
\n00:44:22,360 –> 00:44:25,400
\nthe cup of redemption.
\nThat’s the cup which we drink <\/p>\n
689
\n00:44:25,400 –> 00:44:31,760
\nevery Sunday.
\nSo we also, we remember the <\/p>\n
690
\n00:44:31,760 –> 00:44:34,480
\nredemption of God because He
\nloved Israel. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:44:34,560 –> 00:44:36,880
\nHe took his son out of Egypt
\nbecause He loved him and He <\/p>\n
692
\n00:44:36,880 –> 00:44:40,120
\nloves us also.
\nBut the fourth cup is called in <\/p>\n
693
\n00:44:40,120 –> 00:44:42,440
\nverse 7.
\nI will take you to meet for a <\/p>\n
694
\n00:44:42,440 –> 00:44:46,640
\npeople and I will be to you and
\nAlabin, and ye shall know that I<\/p>\n
695
\n00:44:46,640 –> 00:44:49,960
\nam Yao Alabin, which brings you
\nout from under the burdens of <\/p>\n
696
\n00:44:49,960 –> 00:44:53,800
\nthe Egyptians.
\nHe didn’t drink that cup and <\/p>\n
697
\n00:44:53,800 –> 00:44:57,760
\naren’t we glad brethren,
\nsisters, that he didn’t, because<\/p>\n
698
\n00:44:57,760 –> 00:45:03,560
\nif he would have drunk that cup,
\nwhich means I will take you to <\/p>\n
699
\n00:45:03,560 –> 00:45:07,240
\nme for people, You didn’t all
\nhave to hang on the cross. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:45:09,120 –> 00:45:13,280
\nJesus did it once for all.
\nBut he said I will not drink of <\/p>\n
701
\n00:45:13,280 –> 00:45:17,800
\nthe cup of the fruit of the vine
\nuntil I drink it new with you in<\/p>\n
702
\n00:45:17,800 –> 00:45:20,320
\nmy Kingdom.
\nThat is when the Passover will <\/p>\n
703
\n00:45:20,320 –> 00:45:24,160
\nbe completed, when the Saints
\nhave that have been resurrected <\/p>\n
704
\n00:45:24,360 –> 00:45:28,520
\nand Judge writes us, we’ll hold
\nthe Passover and complete it in <\/p>\n
705
\n00:45:28,520 –> 00:45:31,720
\na sense, and I miss Jesus.
\nWe will drink that fourth cup <\/p>\n
706
\n00:45:32,080 –> 00:45:36,960
\nbecause then in our immortal
\nstate we will be taken to Him <\/p>\n
707
\n00:45:37,280 –> 00:45:42,320
\nfor a people, and then truly He
\nwill be to us God. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:45:42,640 –> 00:45:47,160
\nAnd then shall we fully know
\nthat He is Yahweh, your Elovim, <\/p>\n
709
\n00:45:47,440 –> 00:45:50,920
\nthat being brought out of the
\nburdens of the Egyptian. <\/p>\n
710
\n00:45:50,920 –> 00:45:54,200
\nWe’ve been brought out by the
\nblood of the Lord Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n
711
\n00:45:54,200 –> 00:45:57,080
\nwhich is representing that cup
\nof redemption, the third cup. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:45:58,000 –> 00:46:01,720
\nAnd we pray when the sisters and
\nyoung people that may continue <\/p>\n
713
\n00:46:01,720 –> 00:46:06,440
\nto walk worthy of Our Calling,
\nso that we may be there when <\/p>\n
714
\n00:46:06,440 –> 00:46:10,720
\nJesus will drink that last cup
\nanew in the Kingdom, and He will<\/p>\n
715
\n00:46:10,720 –> 00:46:13,800
\ntake us to Himself for a people.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
