1
\n00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:03,600
\nHello everyone, this is Levi.
\nBefore we start the show as we <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:03,600 –> 00:00:06,280
\nnormally do, I wanted to make a
\nquick request. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:06,680 –> 00:00:09,800
\nWe’re doing great, everything is
\nfine on our end, so don’t be <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:09,920 –> 00:00:11,400
\nscared I guess.
\nBut what about to say? <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:11,400 –> 00:00:15,840
\nBut we are about to start our
\n8th year in October of the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:15,840 –> 00:00:17,560
\npodcast when we’re super
\nthankful for that. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:17,920 –> 00:00:20,160
\nWe are looking to kind of expand
\nthe team. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:20,240 –> 00:00:22,280
\nI think a few of us are
\ninterested in stepping back and <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:22,280 –> 00:00:26,440
\ndoing less hosting and we’re
\nlooking for a few more people to<\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:26,440 –> 00:00:28,800
\nhelp us listen to talks and find
\nintroductions. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:29,240 –> 00:00:31,760
\nSo if that’s something that
\nsounds interesting to you, and I<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:31,760 –> 00:00:34,040
\nwould also say most especially
\nif you’re not from North <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:34,040 –> 00:00:38,040
\nAmerica, as the other four of us
\nare from the states, please let <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:41,840
\nus know. e-mail us at
\ngoodchristadelphiantalks@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:44,080
\nLet us know if you’d be
\ninterested in doing some <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:44,080 –> 00:00:46,760
\nintroductions for some episodes
\nand kind of Co hosting. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:00:47,240 –> 00:00:48,640
\nThanks.
\nAnd now we’ll get back to the <\/p>\n

18
\n00:00:48,640 –> 00:00:53,880
\nshow.
\nWelcome to good Christadelphian <\/p>\n

19
\n00:00:53,880 –> 00:00:54,920
\ntalks.
\nI’m Levi. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:00:55,320 –> 00:00:56,720
\nI’m Chris.
\nI’m Jason. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:00:56,960 –> 00:00:58,320
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:00:58,320 –> 00:01:01,840
\nJoining us this week on this
\npodcast, we select one talk a <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:01,840 –> 00:01:05,319
\nweek to help us get the Bible in
\nour Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:09,600
\nEach week we post a talk that we
\npreviewed from suggestions sent <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:09,600 –> 00:01:11,320
\nin by listeners from around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:11,640 –> 00:01:14,960
\nThen we record a short intro
\nbeforehand as a personalized <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:14,960 –> 00:01:17,760
\nrecommendation to you on why we
\nare sharing the talk. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:18,280 –> 00:01:20,640
\nAnd now let’s talk more about.
\nThis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:35,980 –> 00:01:38,460
\nThis week’s talk is an
\nexhortation given by brother <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:38,460 –> 00:01:42,340
\nJohn Perry at the Portage
\nChristadelphian Study Weekend on<\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:42,380 –> 00:01:46,660
\nMay 18th of this year.
\nDon’t have a specific title for <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:46,660 –> 00:01:49,140
\nthe exhortation.
\nThe overall title of his weekend<\/p>\n

33
\n00:01:49,140 –> 00:01:53,180
\nwas simply Revelation.
\nJohn takes a look at the Olivet <\/p>\n

34
\n00:01:53,180 –> 00:01:56,780
\nProphecy and a bunch of other
\nscriptures in this exhortation <\/p>\n

35
\n00:01:57,260 –> 00:02:02,360
\nwith a really hopeful message,
\nwhich I really enjoyed about how<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:02,760 –> 00:02:05,800
\nthat even though the, you know,
\nthe return of Jesus, the <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:05,800 –> 00:02:09,800
\njudgment or the, or the, or the
\nRoman armies or, or any sort of <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:10,160 –> 00:02:13,320
\njudgment, as you know, as, as
\nsometimes negative or can be <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:13,320 –> 00:02:16,640
\nviewed positively.
\nIf we are in hope, there is <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:16,640 –> 00:02:19,000
\nstill time.
\nAnd he repeats that kind of <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:19,000 –> 00:02:23,280
\nthroughout the excitation.
\nJust that theme of repentance, <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:23,440 –> 00:02:29,840
\nright, And a recognition that we
\ncan be, we can always still turn<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:29,840 –> 00:02:32,560
\nand return to our heavenly
\nFather. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:37,920
\nReally enjoy this agitation.
\nI do think it kind of warms up. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:37,920 –> 00:02:43,080
\nI would say definitely John is
\nkind of he really gets gets <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:43,080 –> 00:02:45,360
\ngoing, I would say in the say in
\nthe middle and the second-half <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:48,120
\nof the agitation.
\nIt’s it’s an interesting Bible <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:48,120 –> 00:02:50,960
\nstudy portion that he does at
\nthe beginning, looking at the <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:50,960 –> 00:02:55,680
\nnames of the cities that Jesus
\nvisits on his final trip to <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:55,680 –> 00:02:58,040
\nJerusalem.
\nBut then you can kind of hear <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:58,040 –> 00:03:01,520
\nhim kind of reach his passion
\npoint in the middle of the talk <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:01,520 –> 00:03:04,360
\nand and throughout to the end.
\nVery fun. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:04,360 –> 00:03:08,000
\nListen.
\nSo here is Brother John Perry’s <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:08,000 –> 00:03:10,160
\nexcitation always, or simply
\nrevelation. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:16,960
\nMark 11 is the beginning of the
\nweek leading up to the <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:22,320
\ncrucifixion, and it begins with
\nJesus and the disciples <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:23,120 –> 00:03:28,960
\napproaching Jerusalem by way of
\nplaces that a very distinct <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:28,960 –> 00:03:30,640
\nnames.
\nMark 11 verse one. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:31,040 –> 00:03:34,000
\nAnd when they came nigh to
\nJerusalem unto Beth Phage and <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:39,200
\nBethany at the Mount of Olives,
\nhe sendeth forth two of his <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:39,200 –> 00:03:45,360
\ndisciples.
\nNow Beth Phage means House of <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:45,360 –> 00:03:50,280
\nunripe figs, and Bethany’s name
\nmeans House of figs. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:55,240
\nAnd the verses that follow
\ndescribe in some detail the <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:55,880 –> 00:04:00,520
\nentry of our Lord into Jerusalem
\non a colt, with the day ending <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:00,640 –> 00:04:05,680
\nin verse 11.
\nJesus entered into Jerusalem and<\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:05,680 –> 00:04:09,000
\ninto the temple.
\nAnd when he had looked round <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:09,000 –> 00:04:14,600
\nabout upon all things, and now
\nthe eventide was come, He went <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:14,680 –> 00:04:21,399
\nout unto Bethany, back unto the
\nHouse of Figs with the 12. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:25,440 –> 00:04:29,560
\nYou know Scripture sometimes
\ndraws our attentions to things <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:29,560 –> 00:04:33,760
\nby bookending things.
\nAnd so I would put to you that <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:34,000 –> 00:04:39,080
\nthis is the beginning of a
\nbookend, that Christ at the end <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:39,080 –> 00:04:45,520
\nof this triumphal entry into a
\ncity that will be his, goes to <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:45,520 –> 00:04:49,320
\nthe House of his Father, a House
\nof prayer for all nations, and <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:49,320 –> 00:04:52,960
\nlooks round about in verse 11
\nupon all things. <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:55,240 –> 00:05:02,480
\nNow the other bookend to this, I
\nthink, is in verse 15. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:03,920 –> 00:05:08,640
\nAnd they come to Jerusalem.
\nAnd Jesus went into the temple <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:08,640 –> 00:05:13,200
\nand began to cast out them that
\nsold and bought in the temple <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:17,080
\nand overthrew the tables of the
\nmoney changers and the seats of <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:17,080 –> 00:05:20,720
\nthem that sold doves and would
\nnot suffer that any man should <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:20,720 –> 00:05:23,800
\ncarry any vessel through the
\ntemple. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:30,200
\nSo what’s in the middle?
\nWhat’s where is our focus drawn <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:33,160
\nto?
\nWell, we know what day one was <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:33,360 –> 00:05:37,240
\nday one here of this last week
\nis Jesus triumphal entry day 2 <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:37,240 –> 00:05:41,960
\non the Morrow in verse 12 when
\nthey were come from where? <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:42,920 –> 00:05:50,240
\nFrom the House of figs Jesus was
\nhungry, and seeing a fig tree <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:54,360
\nafar off, having leaves, he came
\nhave happily he might find <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:54,360 –> 00:05:57,440
\nanything thereon.
\nAnd when he came to it, he found<\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:57,440 –> 00:06:01,200
\nnothing but leaves, for the time
\nof figs was not yet. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:02,040 –> 00:06:05,640
\nAnd Jesus answered and son, and
\nsaid unto it, No man eat fruit <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:05,640 –> 00:06:10,120
\nof thee hereafter forever.
\nAnd his disciples heard it. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:15,120 –> 00:06:21,360
\nThe fig tree in Scripture is 1
\nof many symbols for Israel and <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:21,360 –> 00:06:23,800
\nJudah of Judah.
\nIt is written in Jeremiah when I<\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:26,480
\nwould gather them.
\nThere are no grapes on the vine <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:26,720 –> 00:06:30,160
\nnor figs on the fig tree.
\nEven the leaves are withered. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:30,760 –> 00:06:32,560
\nAlso in Jeremiah of Israel is
\nwritten. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:32,560 –> 00:06:35,840
\nThus says the Lord of hosts,
\nBehold, I am sending on them <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:35,840 –> 00:06:39,520
\nsword, famine and pestilence,
\nand I will make them like vile <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:43,480
\nfigs that are so rotten they
\ncannot be eaten in Hosea, like <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:43,480 –> 00:06:46,720
\ngrapes in the wilderness.
\nI found Israel like the first <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:48,840
\nfruit on the fig tree in its
\nfirst season. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:48,840 –> 00:06:51,320
\nI saw your father’s.
\nSo what’s really interesting <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:51,320 –> 00:06:55,520
\nhere is we find the bookends
\nbeing Jesus coming to evaluate <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:55,520 –> 00:06:59,160
\nthe House of his father.
\nHe evaluates it on maybe <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:59,160 –> 00:07:02,280
\nafternoon, evening, and then
\ncomes back to the city and on <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:02,280 –> 00:07:06,280
\nhis way back into the city he
\nsees a symbol of that nation, a <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:06,280 –> 00:07:07,880
\nnation that he had just
\nevaluated. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:08,040 –> 00:07:11,040
\nHe sees the tree growing and
\nlooking like all was in place, <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:14,200
\nthe Pharisees and the Sadducees
\nand all their ordered <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:16,080
\narrangement.
\nIn a way they kept the temple <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:19,800
\nand that would have seemed to be
\na a vibrant fig tree, but it <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:22,880
\nwasn’t.
\nWhen Jesus came there, He found <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:26,960
\nno fruit on it.
\nNow it says it wasn’t the season<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:26,960 –> 00:07:29,280
\nfor figs.
\nSo what was Jesus doing looking <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:29,280 –> 00:07:30,640
\nfor fruit on this fig tree
\nanyway? <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:30,640 –> 00:07:34,360
\nWell, what’s interesting about
\nfig trees is fig trees will will<\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:38,720
\nproduce small edible buds before
\nthe ripe fruit. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:38,880 –> 00:07:42,440
\nNow these, you know, these are
\nnot actual figs, but they are a <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:42,440 –> 00:07:45,400
\nsymbol of what is to come.
\nAnd if your fig tree doesn’t <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:48,680
\nhave these little buds, it means
\nthat no fruit is coming in <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:48,680 –> 00:07:51,040
\nseason.
\nAnd so when Jesus comes to this <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:51,040 –> 00:07:55,000
\ntree and sees there’s no little
\nbuds on it, obviously nothing <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:55,000 –> 00:07:56,520
\npositive is coming from this
\ntree. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:56,520 –> 00:08:00,040
\nAnd it’s book ended by Jesus
\nevaluation of the temple and <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:00,040 –> 00:08:02,920
\nthen his castigation of those
\nthings that were happening <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:02,920 –> 00:08:06,200
\ninside that temple.
\nAnd we see this fig tree right <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:08,480
\nin the middle of it.
\nAnd we know what Jesus does to <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:08,480 –> 00:08:11,360
\nthis fig tree.
\nHe says it’s over for you fig <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:11,360 –> 00:08:15,600
\ntree, it’s done.
\nHe curses it and that’s that. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:15,840 –> 00:08:20,000
\nWell, is that that?
\nWell, we see in the next day the<\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:20,000 –> 00:08:23,760
\nbeginning of another bookend in
\nverse 20. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:25,920 –> 00:08:31,240
\nAnd in the morning as they pass
\nby, they saw the fig tree dried <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:33,600
\nup from the roots.
\nAnd Peter calling to remember, <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:36,280
\nand said unto him, Master,
\nbehold, the fig tree which thou <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:36,280 –> 00:08:39,159
\ncursed is withered away.
\nAnd Jesus answering said unto <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:39,159 –> 00:08:44,520
\nthem, Have faith in God.
\nYou know, that’s an interesting <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:44,520 –> 00:08:46,840
\nresponse.
\nBut knowing about the symbolism,<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:47,000 –> 00:08:50,240
\nwe see what Jesus is getting at.
\nWe see Jesus is getting at, he <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:50,240 –> 00:08:52,200
\nsaid, look, I’ve just evaluated
\nthis temple. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:54,960
\nI’ve found that it’s a disaster.
\nI’ve had to clean it out. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:55,120 –> 00:08:56,400
\nYou know, I’ve cursed this fig
\ntree. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:56,400 –> 00:08:59,640
\nAnd the symbol of this cursed
\nfig tree is that within my <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:59,640 –> 00:09:02,600
\nfather’s father’s house and
\nwithin the city that’s supposed <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:05,880
\nto be filled with people that
\nsaw me coming as a fulfillment <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:05,880 –> 00:09:08,720
\nof the law is nothing.
\nIt’s a faithless nation. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:08,920 –> 00:09:12,360
\nPeter, see this fig tree?
\nYou have faith unlike those <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:12,360 –> 00:09:17,920
\npeople in that city.
\nSo I want to show you where the <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:18,360 –> 00:09:22,560
\nend of this book end is.
\nAll right, This is there is one <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:22,560 –> 00:09:28,360
\nkind of large day now here.
\nSo the day ends if you turn over<\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:28,360 –> 00:09:31,240
\na few pages.
\nIt ends in the chapter we just <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:31,240 –> 00:09:36,560
\nread.
\nIt ends at the end of chapter <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:36,560 –> 00:09:39,080
\n13.
\nBut I don’t want to focus quite <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:39,080 –> 00:09:41,240
\nyet on the very end of chapter
\n13. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:41,840 –> 00:09:46,000
\nI want you to see the end of the
\nbookend here in 13 verse 28. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:47,280 –> 00:09:51,080
\nNow learn a parable of the fig
\ntree. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:51,440 –> 00:09:55,760
\nWhen her branch is yet tender
\nand putteth forth leaves, ye <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:55,800 –> 00:10:03,000
\nknow that summer is near.
\nNow I want you to take a look at<\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:05,880
\n13 verse one.
\nAnd as he went out of the <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:05,880 –> 00:10:09,800
\ntemple, one of his disciples
\nsaith on him, Master, see what <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:12,080
\nmanner of stones and what
\nbuildings are here. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,680
\nAnd Jesus answering said unto
\nhim, See us, thou these great <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:16,680 –> 00:10:22,080
\nbuildings, there shall not be
\nleft one stone upon another that<\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:22,080 –> 00:10:30,960
\nshall not be thrown down.
\nNow we kind of see, I think one <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:30,960 –> 00:10:35,080
\nof the reasons maybe the Olivet
\nprophecy is given here is <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:35,080 –> 00:10:40,280
\nbecause the disciples just may
\nnot kind of see what’s going on <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:40,280 –> 00:10:43,440
\nhere.
\nYou see, you know, 2 days ago <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:43,440 –> 00:10:46,840
\nfor them, Jesus evaluated all
\nthings in the temple. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:47,200 –> 00:10:51,920
\nA day ago for them, he cursed A
\nfig tree and cleaned out the <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:51,920 –> 00:10:53,880
\ntemple.
\nAnd now the beginning of this <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:53,880 –> 00:10:56,080
\nday, they see a withered fig
\ntree. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:56,120 –> 00:11:01,040
\nAnd yet, what do they still say?
\nThey still say Jesus look at how<\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:01,040 –> 00:11:04,320
\ngreat this temple looks.
\nLook at how amazing it is. <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:04,480 –> 00:11:06,920
\nLook at all these buildings.
\nWhereas Jesus has been building <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:06,920 –> 00:11:09,880
\nto the point of look, this is
\nall going away. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:09,880 –> 00:11:14,280
\nAnd so now Jesus now says I
\nthink now is basically saying, <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:14,440 –> 00:11:19,200
\nlet me now really tell you in
\ndetail what’s going to happen to<\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:22,200
\nthis place.
\nAll right now we know that this <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:22,200 –> 00:11:24,720
\nchapter is often styled the
\nOlivet prophecy. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:24,720 –> 00:11:26,480
\nWhy is it the style the Olivet
\nprophecy? <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:26,680 –> 00:11:30,200
\nWell, he’s sitting on the Mount
\nof Olives in verse 3, and as he <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:30,200 –> 00:11:34,400
\nsat set upon the Mount of Olives
\nover against the temple, 2 sets <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:34,400 –> 00:11:38,280
\nof brothers come to him.
\nPeter and James and John and <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:38,320 –> 00:11:43,520
\nAndrew asked him privately, tell
\nus, when shall these things be? <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:44,000 –> 00:11:48,200
\nAnd what shall be the sign when
\nall these things shall be <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:48,200 –> 00:11:51,400
\nfulfilled?
\nWe know that in Matthew there’s <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:54,640
\nan extra detail included.
\nWhat shall be the sign of the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:54,640 –> 00:11:56,960
\ncoming and of the end of the
\nage? <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:57,360 –> 00:12:01,120
\nAnd so Jesus then goes on to
\nanswer the first question, when <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:01,120 –> 00:12:04,080
\nshall these things be?
\nThe things here are there shall <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:04,080 –> 00:12:06,880
\nnot be left one stone upon
\nanother that shall not be thrown<\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:06,880 –> 00:12:10,960
\ndown, which we know happened
\nwhen the Romans took down stone <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:14,320
\nby stone and brick by brick, you
\nknow, parts of the wall and the <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:14,320 –> 00:12:16,080
\ntemple.
\nAnd they brought the end of the <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:16,080 –> 00:12:19,880
\nJewish age to a dramatic close
\nby destroying Jerusalem and <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:19,880 –> 00:12:23,080
\nburning to the ground.
\nJesus addresses a lot of these <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:23,080 –> 00:12:25,000
\nspecific details throughout the
\nchapter. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:25,000 –> 00:12:29,040
\nVerse 7 and 8 shall hear of wars
\nand rumors of wars. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:32,600
\nBe not troubled.
\nVerse 8, nation will rise <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:32,600 –> 00:12:35,960
\nagainst nation.
\nAnd verse 9, take heed to <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:35,960 –> 00:12:38,440
\nyourselves, for they’re going to
\ndeliver you up to councils and <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:38,440 –> 00:12:41,200
\nin the synagogue’s you will be
\nbeaten, and ye shall be brought <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:41,200 –> 00:12:44,480
\nbefore rulers and kings for my
\nsake, for a testimony against <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:44,480 –> 00:12:46,920
\nthem.
\nVerse 10, the gospel message has<\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:46,920 –> 00:12:49,920
\nto go out into all the world to
\nthe Gentiles. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:50,120 –> 00:12:52,160
\nThese things are going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:54,760
\nThat’s what’s going to happen.
\nThat’s what’s going to happen in<\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:54,760 –> 00:12:58,120
\nthe events surrounding 8070.
\nThe Jewish age is coming to a <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:58,120 –> 00:13:02,400
\nclose, and finally it comes to
\nan absolute close in verses 24 <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:02,400 –> 00:13:05,040
\nand 25.
\nBut in those days after that <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:05,040 –> 00:13:07,480
\ntribulation, the sun shall be
\ndarkened, and the moon shall not<\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:07,480 –> 00:13:10,320
\ngive her light, and the stars of
\nheaven shall fall, and the <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:10,320 –> 00:13:13,360
\npowers that are in heaven shall
\nbe shaken. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:15,520 –> 00:13:19,520
\nSo now we come to the answering
\nof the question posed in <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:19,520 –> 00:13:22,760
\nMatthew.
\nWhat will be the sign of thy <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:22,760 –> 00:13:25,040
\ncoming, and of the end of the
\nage? <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:26,040 –> 00:13:30,880
\nThis is clear cut in verse 26.
\nAnd then shall they see the Son <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:30,880 –> 00:13:34,280
\nof Man coming in the clouds with
\ngreat power and glory. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:34,560 –> 00:13:37,240
\nAnd then shall he send his
\nangels, and shall gather <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:37,240 –> 00:13:41,000
\ntogether his elect from the four
\nwinds, from the uttermost part <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:44,040
\nof the earth to the uttermost
\npart of heaven. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:46,640 –> 00:13:50,400
\nThe day that began with the
\nwithered fig tree from the roots<\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:51,040 –> 00:13:57,080
\ncursed by the Master, now comes
\nto an end with another parable, <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:58,280 –> 00:14:01,400
\na parable of a revitalized fig
\ntree. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:06,040
\nNow learn a parable of the fig
\ntree in verse 28. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:06,480 –> 00:14:09,080
\nWhen her branch is yet tender
\nand putteth forth leaves, you <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:09,080 –> 00:14:13,960
\nknow that summer is nigh.
\nSo ye see, so ye in like manner,<\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:17,480
\nwhen ye shall see these things
\ncome to pass, know that it is <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:17,480 –> 00:14:22,200
\nnigh even at the doors.
\nVerily I say unto you that this <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:22,200 –> 00:14:27,280
\ngeneration shall not pass until
\nall these things be done. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:30,480 –> 00:14:34,320
\nAnd this verse about this
\nrevitalized fig tree is <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:34,560 –> 00:14:38,800
\nsandwiched in between verses
\nabout the Kingdom age. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:39,080 –> 00:14:42,800
\nIt’s sandwiched in between
\nverses about Christ’s second <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:42,800 –> 00:14:47,080
\ncoming.
\nWe like the believers in Christ <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:47,080 –> 00:14:50,240
\nat the end of the Jewish age,
\nwe’ve been given ample time to <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:50,240 –> 00:14:52,440
\nbe prepared for what is coming
\nupon this world. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:55,280
\nDon’t turn this up.
\nBut in Luke’s account of the <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:55,280 –> 00:14:57,760
\nOlivet prophecy, those who
\nbelieved in Christ would have <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:57,760 –> 00:15:00,880
\nheeded this advice.
\nWhen ye shall see Jerusalem <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:00,920 –> 00:15:05,240
\ncompassed with armies, then know
\nthat the desolation thereof is <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:05,240 –> 00:15:07,400
\nnigh.
\nThen let them which are in Judea<\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:07,400 –> 00:15:09,640
\nflee to the mountains, and let
\nthem which are in the midst of <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:09,640 –> 00:15:13,440
\nit depart out, and let not them
\nthat are in the countries enter <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:13,480 –> 00:15:17,520
\ntherein.
\nTo those who believed in Christ,<\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:18,880 –> 00:15:23,440
\nthey left the city and were
\nspared, and those who would <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:23,440 –> 00:15:27,360
\nfight to preserve that cursed
\nfig tree of a city paid with <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:27,360 –> 00:15:30,240
\ntheir lives.
\nIf they held on to the corrupt <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:30,240 –> 00:15:33,240
\nway of doing things with the
\nPharisees and Sadducees had put <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:33,240 –> 00:15:37,600
\ntogether, their lives would end.
\nBut if they listen to Christ and<\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:40,960
\nleft their old lives behind,
\nthey had life. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:43,680 –> 00:15:46,640
\nAnd the lesson is there for us
\ntoday, isn’t it, Brother and <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:46,640 –> 00:15:50,280
\nsisters?
\nWe see the revitalized fig tree.<\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:50,960 –> 00:15:55,600
\nThere are people in this very
\nroom who remember when that fig <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:55,600 –> 00:15:59,720
\ntree first came to birth.
\nNow, it’s not mentioned whether <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:59,720 –> 00:16:02,960
\nthis fig tree has fruit or not,
\nbut we know that when Christ <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:02,960 –> 00:16:05,560
\ncomes, he will make them bear
\nfruit. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:10,400 –> 00:16:14,160
\nIt’s one of my probably my
\nfavorite things about the Olivet<\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:14,160 –> 00:16:23,800
\nProphecy is that no matter how
\nclose we are to the end, no <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:23,800 –> 00:16:28,880
\nmatter how close the Roman
\nlegions of 8070 are, no matter <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:33,640
\nhow close the King of the North
\nis to coming down upon this this<\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:33,640 –> 00:16:39,280
\nland again, no matter how close
\nArmageddon is, there’s still <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:39,280 –> 00:16:44,320
\ntime to leave the corrupt things
\nof our lives. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:45,040 –> 00:16:49,360
\nThere’s still time to get away
\nfrom old habits. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:49,360 –> 00:16:53,240
\nWe may have returned to old ways
\nof thinking, or maybe we have <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:53,240 –> 00:16:56,360
\njust clung far too long to
\nthings that we should have never<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:56,360 –> 00:17:00,080
\nbeen hanging on to all along.
\nBut it’s never too late. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:00,560 –> 00:17:04,119
\nThe lesson is not to wait until
\nChrist returns, for we don’t <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:04,119 –> 00:17:05,319
\nknow when that’s going to
\nhappen. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:08,319
\nWe don’t know when our less
\nbreath breath is. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:08,560 –> 00:17:13,000
\nBut we know that as long as
\nthere is breath in us that there<\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:17,920
\nis still time.
\nThere’s still time to get away <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:18,160 –> 00:17:21,000
\nfrom what God would bring upon
\nthis world in judgment. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:22,000 –> 00:17:45,760
\nThis brings us to Jeremiah 38.
\nWhy Jeremiah 38? <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:47,240 –> 00:17:53,520
\nJeremiah 38 is very, very
\nsimilar to what is happening in <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:53,520 –> 00:17:58,480
\n8070.
\nIn Jeremiah 38, we find the city<\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:59,200 –> 00:18:04,000
\nunder siege.
\nWe find desperate conditions. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:04,840 –> 00:18:09,240
\nIt is the end of an age.
\nThe religious leaders were <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:09,240 –> 00:18:12,480
\ncorrupt.
\nThere were false prophets. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:13,280 –> 00:18:17,440
\nThe prophet who was a type of
\nChrist, Jeremiah was persecuted <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:17,480 –> 00:18:22,400
\nand sentenced to death prior to
\nbeing lifted out of a literal <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,920
\npit.
\nThe city would go on to endure a<\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:29,080
\nterrible siege where people
\nwould eat their own children, as<\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:29,080 –> 00:18:33,200
\nwe’re told in Lamentations, and
\nthe temple would be completely <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:36,800
\ndestroyed on the exact same day
\nof the year that the Romans <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:36,800 –> 00:18:42,800
\ndestroyed Herod’s temple.
\nYet yet all of those things <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:47,400
\nbeing said, there was a way out.
\nAnd so in Jeremiah 38, what we <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:47,400 –> 00:18:50,120
\nfind at the beginning of
\nJeremiah 38 is Jeremiah <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:53,760
\nsentenced to death, has now been
\nlifted out of the pit. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:57,920
\nAnd the very person, the very
\nweak king that had sentenced him<\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:57,920 –> 00:19:03,000
\nthere now calls to Jeremiah,
\nsays Jeremiah, I need to talk to<\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:05,600
\nyou, but I need to talk to you
\nin secret. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:06,480 –> 00:19:09,680
\nLook at verse 14.
\nThen Zedekiah the king sent and <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:09,680 –> 00:19:14,040
\ntook Jeremiah the prophet unto
\nhim into the third entry that is<\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:14,040 –> 00:19:16,680
\nin the House of the Lord.
\nAnd people kind of commentators <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:16,680 –> 00:19:19,160
\nkind of suggest this is this is
\nlike the back door. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:19,760 –> 00:19:22,480
\nZedekiah sang.
\nJeremiah, I need to talk to you <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:22,920 –> 00:19:25,400
\nin quiet, but I know I just
\nsentenced you to death. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:28,400
\nI know that you’re here now, but
\nI really need to hear you know <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:28,480 –> 00:19:30,720
\nwhat you’re going to say.
\nHe says the end of verse 14, I’m<\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:30,720 –> 00:19:33,000
\ngoing to ask you a thing.
\nDon’t hide anything from me. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:33,640 –> 00:19:36,440
\nAnd Jeremiah says in verse 15,
\nLook, if I tell you the truth, <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:36,640 –> 00:19:38,160
\nyou’re going to sentence me back
\nto death. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:41,440
\nIn verse 16, Zedekiah says, no,
\nthat’s not true. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:41,640 –> 00:19:44,160
\nZedekiah the king square
\nsecretly under Jeremiah, saying,<\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:44,440 –> 00:19:48,120
\nAs the Lord lives that made us
\nthis soul, I won’t put you to <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:48,120 –> 00:19:51,360
\ndeath, neither will I give thee
\ninto the hand of these men that <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:51,360 –> 00:19:55,000
\nseek thy life.
\nSo then what does Jeremiah say? <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:55,760 –> 00:19:58,520
\nWhat does he say to this evil
\nking? <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:58,520 –> 00:20:03,760
\nHe says Thus saith the Lord, the
\nGod of hosts, the God of Israel,<\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:04,560 –> 00:20:08,240
\nif thou wilt assuredly go forth
\nunto the king of Babylon’s <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:08,240 –> 00:20:11,720
\nPrincess.
\nThen thy soul shall live, and <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:11,720 –> 00:20:14,880
\nthe city shall not be burned
\nwith fire, and thou shalt live <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:15,320 –> 00:20:18,480
\nand thine house.
\nBut if thou wilt not go forth to<\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:18,480 –> 00:20:21,680
\nthe king of Babylon’s Princess,
\nthen shall this city be given <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:21,680 –> 00:20:24,560
\ninto the hand of the Chaldeans,
\nand they shall burn it with <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:24,560 –> 00:20:27,680
\nfire, and thou shalt not escape
\nout of their hand. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:28,440 –> 00:20:31,600
\nThe message is the same.
\nThe message is the same as the <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:34,200
\nOlivet prophecy.
\nWhen you see, when you see <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:37,440
\nJerusalem surrounded by armies,
\nwhich it was right at this very <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:37,440 –> 00:20:40,800
\nmoment when Jeremiah spoke these
\nwords, it’s not too late. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:41,520 –> 00:20:43,680
\nIt’s not too late.
\nThere is a plan. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:43,840 –> 00:20:45,800
\nIt may not be the plan you want,
\nZedekiah. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:45,800 –> 00:20:48,680
\nThe plan may be you got to go to
\nBabylon, you know, and I’ll work<\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:48,680 –> 00:20:50,640
\nwith you there.
\nBut there is a plan. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:50,640 –> 00:20:54,800
\nIt seems dark.
\nIt seems impossible in life to <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:54,800 –> 00:20:57,520
\nget out of certain things, but
\nthere is a plan. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:57,720 –> 00:20:59,880
\nThere is a way.
\nWhat does Zedekiah say? <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:00,240 –> 00:21:03,600
\nZedekiah says, I can’t do that.
\nI’m going to be made fun of. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:03,960 –> 00:21:07,000
\nYou don’t understand.
\nI’m king and my pride is going <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:08,760
\nto be heard.
\nZedekiah says in verse 19. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:09,040 –> 00:21:11,760
\nZedekiah the Sing king said of
\nJeremiah, I am afraid of the <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:11,760 –> 00:21:14,760
\nJews that are fallen to the
\nChaldeans, lest they deliver me <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:14,760 –> 00:21:16,880
\ninto their hand and they mock
\nme. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:17,760 –> 00:21:22,480
\nAnd Jeremiah goes on to say, he
\nsays, look, just do what God <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:22,480 –> 00:21:30,400
\nsays, I’ll get you out of this.
\nNow where were the people in all<\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:34,320
\nof this mess that believed?
\nThere’s always a remnant that <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:34,320 –> 00:21:38,600
\nbelieves, and we are desperately
\ntrying to be that remnant in the<\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:40,400
\nlatter days.
\nWhere were they? <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:41,120 –> 00:21:44,960
\nWell, we know where they were.
\nWe know where they’re Daniel <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:44,960 –> 00:21:50,200
\nwas, Daniel was in Babylon.
\nEzekiel was in Babylon. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:50,640 –> 00:21:53,880
\nYou know, they had been there
\nfor for 20 years. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:55,480 –> 00:21:59,480
\nGod was working with them.
\nWhere do we find this in <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:59,480 –> 00:22:10,980
\nScripture in Jeremiah 24, and
\nwhat are they symbolized as? <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:11,760 –> 00:22:14,760
\nYou know what they’re symbolized
\nas because we’ve been talking <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:14,760 –> 00:22:18,920
\nabout this morning.
\nThey’re symbolized by fakes in <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:18,920 –> 00:22:23,880
\nverse 5.
\nThus saith the Lord, the God of <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:23,880 –> 00:22:29,600
\nIsrael.
\nLike these good figs, so will I <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:32,720
\nacknowledge them that are
\ncarried away captive of Judah, <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:33,000 –> 00:22:36,360
\nwhom I have sent out of this
\nplace into the land of the <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:36,360 –> 00:22:40,480
\nChaldeans for their good.
\nFor I will set my eyes upon them<\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:40,480 –> 00:22:43,080
\nfor good, and I will bring them
\nagain to this land. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:43,320 –> 00:22:45,600
\nAnd I will build them, and not
\npull them down. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:45,800 –> 00:22:47,840
\nAnd I will plant them and not
\npluck them up. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:48,160 –> 00:22:51,720
\nAnd I will give them in heart to
\nknow me, that I am the Lord, and<\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:51,720 –> 00:22:54,560
\nthey shall be my people, and I
\nwill be their God, for they <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:54,560 –> 00:22:56,600
\nshall return unto me with their
\nwhole heart. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:56,840 –> 00:23:02,520
\nThere is a plan, it may not be
\nthe plan that makes sense to <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:04,920
\nearthly minds.
\nThose people might have thought,<\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:05,080 –> 00:23:08,200
\nlook, look at all these holy
\nwonderful people that are saving<\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:10,160
\nthe city.
\nThey’re left into Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:12,880
\nThose are the good people.
\nAnd what Jeremiah and God is <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:12,880 –> 00:23:14,560
\nsaying through Jeremiah, no, no,
\nno, no. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:14,760 –> 00:23:19,040
\nMy plan is to get you out of
\nthat city, out of that wicked <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:19,040 –> 00:23:21,920
\ncity and work with you in
\nanother place. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:22,120 –> 00:23:25,720
\nAnd God says, I’ll tell you
\nexactly what I think about those<\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:25,720 –> 00:23:27,640
\npeople in that corrupt city in
\nverse 8. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:27,640 –> 00:23:30,640
\nAnd as these evil figs which
\ncannot be eaten, they are so <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:30,640 –> 00:23:33,840
\nevil, surely thus says the Lord.
\nSo will I give Zedekiah the king<\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:33,840 –> 00:23:36,800
\nof Judah and his Princess, and
\nthe residue of Jerusalem that <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:36,800 –> 00:23:39,320
\nremain in this land, and them
\nthat dwell in the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:39,520 –> 00:23:42,080
\nAnd I would deliver them to be
\nremoved in all the kingdoms of <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:42,080 –> 00:23:44,600
\nthe earth, for their hurt to be
\na reproach and a proverb, A <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:44,600 –> 00:23:47,600
\ntaunt and a curse in all places
\nwhere I shall drive them. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:47,800 –> 00:23:50,440
\nAnd I will send the sword,
\nfamine, pestilence among them, <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:50,640 –> 00:23:53,080
\nso that be consumed from off the
\nland that I gave unto them and <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:53,080 –> 00:23:55,440
\nto their fathers.
\nThose are the people that are, <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:55,520 –> 00:23:58,280
\nthat are the bad figs.
\nThose people are hanging on to <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:58,280 –> 00:24:01,520
\nthis wicked way of practice and
\nall the bad things that they <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:01,520 –> 00:24:04,520
\nhave done in the city.
\nAnd we see this time and time <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:04,520 –> 00:24:08,320
\nand time again in Bible
\nprophecy, and this applies very <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:08,320 –> 00:24:11,680
\nmuch to our lives.
\nOne, it’s not too late. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:12,960 –> 00:24:18,000
\nIt’s not too late what?
\nNo matter how bleak it looks, no<\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:18,000 –> 00:24:21,560
\nmatter how close the siege is,
\nno matter how close we think <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:21,560 –> 00:24:24,920
\nChrist’s return is, it’s not too
\nlate to turn around. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:25,120 –> 00:24:29,440
\nAnd two, don’t know how God
\nworks in our lives. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:30,280 –> 00:24:34,720
\nWe just can’t understand it
\nsometimes, sometimes drawing us <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:35,200 –> 00:24:38,600
\nout of something that we think
\nwe should be hanging on to, you <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:41,200
\nknow, hanging out or we should
\nbe hanging on to this temple. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:42,680
\nGod, this is, this is your
\nhouse. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:42,680 –> 00:24:45,040
\nThis is where we should be.
\nGod is saying no, no, no, no. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:45,360 –> 00:24:50,200
\nI’m drawing you out of this evil
\nsituation into a land where I <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:54,360
\ncan work with you.
\nAnd God works with us in the <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:54,360 –> 00:24:59,640
\nsame way, you know, and, and
\nsometimes for these people, God <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:59,640 –> 00:25:03,680
\nis merciful unto us.
\nAnd that even when we don’t give<\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:03,680 –> 00:25:07,640
\nup those things, a lot of these
\npeople drawn into captivity <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:07,760 –> 00:25:10,720
\ndidn’t want to be drawn into
\ncaptivity. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:11,520 –> 00:25:14,040
\nYet God was merciful to them and
\nsaid, I’m going to grab you <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:14,080 –> 00:25:16,400
\nanyway.
\nI know you don’t understand <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:17,880
\nwhat’s going on in your life
\nright now. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:18,360 –> 00:25:22,120
\nI know you don’t understand.
\nAnd I’m drawing you into this <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:22,120 –> 00:25:24,280
\nland of idolatry to work with
\nyou. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:24,800 –> 00:25:30,520
\nBut I am, you’re the good figs.
\nAnd so when it seems dark and it<\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:30,640 –> 00:25:34,560
\nand it seems dim and we don’t
\nunderstand what God is doing in <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:34,560 –> 00:25:36,680
\nour lives and how can God be
\nworking through this, I think <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:36,680 –> 00:25:39,560
\nI’m supposed to be over there.
\nWell, that just may not be the <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:39,560 –> 00:25:42,960
\ncase.
\nHopefully God is still working <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:42,960 –> 00:25:48,040
\nwith us as good figs in whatever
\ndifficult situation we find <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:48,040 –> 00:25:51,880
\nourselves in.
\nTo close, I want to end in <\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:51,880 –> 00:26:09,640
\nHebrews 13.
\nYou know some of those who have <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:10,160 –> 00:26:14,120
\ntried to put a date on the
\nwriting of Hebrews plates, its <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:14,160 –> 00:26:20,400
\nauthorship somewhere between
\n8050 and 8065. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:21,960 –> 00:26:27,480
\nAnd if it was written as late as
\n8065, that puts us right on the <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:27,480 –> 00:26:31,760
\neve of the Roman invasion
\nbeginning in 8066 and <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:31,760 –> 00:26:37,000
\nculminating in 87.
\nNow remember, Paul is likely the<\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:37,000 –> 00:26:39,720
\nauthor.
\nHe’s been making a case <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:43,240
\nthroughout the book that Christ
\nis greater than the angels <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:43,240 –> 00:26:46,600
\nthrough whom the law came,
\ngreater than Moses the Lawgiver,<\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:46,880 –> 00:26:50,800
\ngreater than Joshua, that the
\nlaw was not to be something to <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:54,680
\nreturn to, but something that
\nChrist had fulfilled, that the <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:54,680 –> 00:26:59,600
\nlaw pointed forward to him.
\nSome of these people so <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:59,600 –> 00:27:02,760
\ndesperately wanted to go back to
\nthe lives that they had left, <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:02,760 –> 00:27:06,480
\nthat they have left back to the
\nfamilies, and now rejected them <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:06,640 –> 00:27:09,880
\nfor believing in Christ.
\nBack to the synagogue. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:11,600 –> 00:27:14,480
\nSo what does Paul’s final
\nargument in the book of Hebrews <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:14,480 –> 00:27:17,160
\ninclude?
\nBut the same message of the <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:17,160 –> 00:27:21,440
\nOlivet prophecy.
\nGet out of that city and its <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:21,440 –> 00:27:24,560
\ncorrupt ways and go where?
\nGo to Christ. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:25,960 –> 00:27:32,800
\nVerse 8.
\nJesus Christ, the same yesterday<\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:33,360 –> 00:27:37,720
\nand today, and forever be not
\ncarried about with diverse and <\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:37,720 –> 00:27:39,880
\nstrange doctrines.
\nFor it is a good thing that the <\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:39,880 –> 00:27:43,600
\nheart be established with grace,
\nnot with meats which have not <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:43,600 –> 00:27:45,840
\nprofited them that have been
\noccupied therein. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:46,840 –> 00:27:52,080
\nWe have an altar where of they
\nhave no right to eat, which <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:52,080 –> 00:27:55,400
\nserve the Tabernacle.
\nFor the bodies of those beasts <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:55,640 –> 00:27:58,960
\nwhose blood is brought into the
\nsanctuary by the high priest for<\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:58,960 –> 00:28:03,400
\nsin are burned without the camp.
\nI want to stop right there. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:03,560 –> 00:28:05,200
\nThat’s a reference to the sin
\noffering. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:06,280 –> 00:28:11,440
\nWhen the blood went into the
\nMost Holy Place, the body went <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:12,120 –> 00:28:14,200
\noutside of the camp to be
\nburned. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:14,720 –> 00:28:17,880
\nIf you want to have.
\nThe law was speaking to this all<\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:17,880 –> 00:28:20,840
\nalong.
\nIf you want to have fellowship <\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:20,960 –> 00:28:24,800
\nwith the Most Holy place, with
\nthe mercy seat, you know that <\/p>\n

441
\n00:28:24,800 –> 00:28:28,120
\nrepresents Christ.
\nIf you want to be there, then <\/p>\n

442
\n00:28:28,160 –> 00:28:31,560
\nguess where you have to be?
\nYou have to be outside of the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:28:31,560 –> 00:28:33,600
\ncamp, because that’s where
\nChrist died. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:28:34,360 –> 00:28:37,480
\nVerse 12 Wherefore Jesus also,
\nthat He might sanctify the <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:37,480 –> 00:28:41,120
\npeople with His own blood,
\nsuffered without the gate. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:47,600
\nLet us go forth therefore unto
\nHim, without the camp, bearing <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:47,600 –> 00:28:51,960
\nHis reproach.
\nWe’re not embarrassed like <\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:51,960 –> 00:28:56,080
\nZedekiah.
\nWe’re not concerned about what <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:56,080 –> 00:28:59,320
\nother people may think about
\nthese decisions, about what it <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:59,320 –> 00:29:04,440
\nmight be to be like to stand
\nalone, to be different, to leave<\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:04,440 –> 00:29:07,440
\nthe things we’ve been hanging on
\nto that we that we should have <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:07,440 –> 00:29:11,000
\nleft all along.
\nTo say where I was this weekend <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:11,160 –> 00:29:14,040
\nand what I was doing and the
\nimportance that holds in my <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:14,040 –> 00:29:17,440
\nlife, you know, and, you know,
\nand not, you know, for myself <\/p>\n

455
\n00:29:17,440 –> 00:29:19,520
\nreturning back to work and, oh,
\nwhat did you do this weekend? <\/p>\n

456
\n00:29:19,880 –> 00:29:22,320
\nI was in Chicago.
\nYou know, I was just looking <\/p>\n

457
\n00:29:22,320 –> 00:29:25,160
\naround the city, you know, not
\nbe that person. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:29:27,240 –> 00:29:34,080
\nBear the reproach of the master.
\nVerse 14 For here have we no <\/p>\n

459
\n00:29:34,120 –> 00:29:38,880
\ncontinuing city, but we seek one
\nto come. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:29:41,000 –> 00:29:44,840
\nMany of the Jews who received
\nthis message wanted Jerusalem to<\/p>\n

461
\n00:29:44,840 –> 00:29:49,720
\nbe their continuing city.
\nHow could this beautiful temple <\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:49,960 –> 00:29:53,760
\nwith all its stones and all of
\nits gold go away? <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:54,720 –> 00:29:59,360
\nThey wanted to go back to their
\nold ways of doing things to be <\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:59,800 –> 00:30:03,680
\ncomfortable.
\nHow could the right answer not <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:03,680 –> 00:30:07,920
\nbe to go back to the temple and
\nit’s alter itself? <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:09,800 –> 00:30:11,120
\nBut it wasn’t the right answer,
\nwas it? <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:11,920 –> 00:30:15,240
\nThe right answer was that Christ
\nsuffered with outside of the <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:15,240 –> 00:30:19,400
\ncamp that this city, that this
\ncity is withered fig tree, that <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:19,400 –> 00:30:23,880
\nit’s going away, that Christ has
\ncursed it because it rejected <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:23,880 –> 00:30:26,880
\nhim.
\nNow get out of there and go <\/p>\n

471
\n00:30:26,880 –> 00:30:30,560
\nrelate to who Christ actually
\nwas, someone who suffered for <\/p>\n

472
\n00:30:30,560 –> 00:30:36,440
\nyour sins outside of this place.
\nAnd you know, when we get there,<\/p>\n

473
\n00:30:36,720 –> 00:30:40,520
\nwhen we get outside the city,
\nthere’s a sacrifice to be <\/p>\n

474
\n00:30:40,520 –> 00:30:47,520
\noffered there, which we do now
\nbecause it’s all we can do is be<\/p>\n

475
\n00:30:47,520 –> 00:30:52,400
\nthankful for what he has done,
\nwhat God has done through his <\/p>\n

476
\n00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:56,040
\nSon on our behalf.
\nIt’s in verse 15. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:30:57,640 –> 00:31:01,880
\nBy him.
\nTherefore, let us offer the <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:01,880 –> 00:31:05,720
\nsacrifice of praise to God
\ncontinually. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:06,560 –> 00:31:10,240
\nThat is the fruit of our lips
\ngiving thanks to his name. <\/p>\n
