\n00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:52,900
\nHello, everyone.

\nand we’re back with our second
\nweek of the July, summer <\/p>\n

\nHope that the GCT team are <\/p>\n

\n00:01:04,400 –> 00:01:07,600
\nclasses by new speakers for the
\npodcast. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:12,900
\nThis week, we have brother Mike
\nRobinson, my brother-in-law and <\/p>\n
\n00:01:12,900 –> 00:01:19,000
\nhe is going to talk to us from
\nway back in 2009 during him and <\/p>\n
\n00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:21,800
\nTim keating’s.
\nShin for the Manitou and youth <\/p>\n
\n00:01:21,800 –> 00:01:26,200
\nconference workbook.
\nAnd the class for this week is <\/p>\n
\n00:01:26,300 –> 00:01:31,300
\nMike’s, final exhortation during
\nthe youth conference study day. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:31,500 –> 00:01:34,400
\nThat was getting everybody ready
\nfor the week leading into <\/p>\n
\n00:01:34,400 –> 00:01:38,900
\nManitoulin that Year.
\nMike was working on this study <\/p>\n
\n00:01:39,100 –> 00:01:43,100
\non Ezra Nehemiah.
\nThe return of the Exiles for <\/p>\n
\n00:01:43,200 –> 00:01:45,600
\nyears.
\nI can actually remember Mike <\/p>\n
\n00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:49,300
\ngiving early versions of some of
\nthese classes when I was in <\/p>\n
\n00:01:49,300 –> 00:01:52,800
\nperson with him, Him at the
\nSeattle, youth weekend that some<\/p>\n
\n00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:56,500
\nof our listeners may have
\nremembered back in 2006. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:56,900 –> 00:02:00,500
\nAnd we had a really great time
\nthat weekend and by the time he <\/p>\n
\n00:02:00,500 –> 00:02:05,800
\ngets to this study day, he had
\nbeen just talking about this so <\/p>\n
\n00:02:05,800 –> 00:02:07,600
\nmuch.
\nAnd he was so passionate about <\/p>\n
\n00:02:07,600 –> 00:02:11,300
\nthe lessons from Nehemiah,
\nthey’re very applicable, very <\/p>\n
\n00:02:11,300 –> 00:02:13,900
\npersonal.
\nAnd he’s got just so much to <\/p>\n
\n00:02:13,900 –> 00:02:16,800
\ncontribute.
\nThis class is really wonderful. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:20,400
\nThe main thing in this class
\nthat he does, and I love is, He <\/p>\n
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:24,500
\ngoes through this question that
\nNehemiah asks, remember me, oh <\/p>\n
\n00:02:24,500 –> 00:02:28,300
\nmy God for good.
\nThis kind of pleading prayer and<\/p>\n
\n00:02:28,300 –> 00:02:31,000
\nhe asks us, you know, is this a
\ncrazy question? <\/p>\n
\n00:02:31,100 –> 00:02:34,400
\nDoes God work this way?
\nCan we ask something like this? <\/p>\n
\n00:02:34,900 –> 00:02:38,600
\nWell let’s get right into it and
\nlisten to Mike’s answer and find<\/p>\n
\n00:02:38,600 –> 00:02:40,500
\nout.
\nSo this is Mike Robinson. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:45,500
\nRemember me, oh my God for good.
\nGood morning, my dearly beloved <\/p>\n
\n00:02:45,500 –> 00:02:48,000
\nbrothers and sisters in the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:53,600
\nMe and Sarah have come from Echo
\nLake, Ecclesia in New Jersey and<\/p>\n
\n00:02:53,600 –> 00:02:56,400
\nwe’d love to pass on the love
\nand the greetings of your <\/p>\n
\n00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:59,800
\nbrothers and sisters there who
\nare remembering the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:02:59,800 –> 00:03:02,200
\nChrist.
\nAs we do this morning and this <\/p>\n
\n00:03:02,200 –> 00:03:07,500
\nEcclesia and across this
\ncontinent and it’s really going <\/p>\n
\n00:03:07,500 –> 00:03:10,100
\nto be this morning, isn’t it a
\nremembrance of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:03:10,100 –> 00:03:13,000
\nChrist.
\nAnd we’re going to get to that <\/p>\n
\n00:03:13,000 –> 00:03:15,000
\npoint actually and kind of a
\nbackwards way. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:16,100 –> 00:03:18,500
\nWe’ve read Nehemiah 13.
\nAnd for the young people, it was<\/p>\n
\n00:03:18,500 –> 00:03:20,500
\nthe second time you’ve heard
\nthat this weekend, we’ve read it<\/p>\n
\n00:03:20,508 –> 00:03:22,900
\nyesterday as well.
\nThe youth conference study that <\/p>\n
\n00:03:22,900 –> 00:03:26,700
\nwe’re doing this year, brother.
\nTim Keating and myself are <\/p>\n
\n00:03:26,700 –> 00:03:30,700
\nworking on putting together the
\nbook this year for conference in<\/p>\n
\n00:03:30,700 –> 00:03:32,700
\nthe study is the Exiles
\nreturning. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:36,000
\nI would have Babylon it of
\nPersia who have come back to the<\/p>\n
\n00:03:36,008 –> 00:03:39,800
\nland in the time of Ezra and
\nNehemiah at the time of haggai <\/p>\n
\n00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:46,900
\nZechariah Malachi And there’s a
\nphrase that came up a few times <\/p>\n
\n00:03:46,900 –> 00:03:50,700
\nthroughout Nehemiah in the
\nphrase, was remember me. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:51,200 –> 00:03:54,000
\nOh my God, for good, remember
\nme? <\/p>\n
\n00:03:55,800 –> 00:03:58,300
\nNow that’s backwards, you were
\nhere to remember. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:58,300 –> 00:04:01,100
\nJesus Christ, are we not?
\nWe’re here to remember God’s <\/p>\n
\n00:04:01,100 –> 00:04:06,000
\nincredible plan and yet in
\nNehemiah chapter 13, nehemiah’s <\/p>\n
\n00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:09,900
\nprayer.
\nTo God is Remember Me, Lord, <\/p>\n
\n00:04:10,400 –> 00:04:14,600
\nremember the things I have done.
\nRemember the works that I have <\/p>\n
\n00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:18,600
\ndone in your name to cleanse
\nIsrael, to get them back on the <\/p>\n
\n00:04:18,600 –> 00:04:20,899
\nspiritual track that’s focused
\non you. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:23,600
\nRemember me.
\nOh my God. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:23,600 –> 00:04:31,800
\nFor good.
\nAnd this actual phrase, remember<\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,800 –> 00:04:35,800
\nme comes up three times in
\nNehemiah chapter 13, we’re going<\/p>\n
\n00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:37,300
\nto take a look at those briefly
\nhere. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:38,300 –> 00:04:41,100
\nWe’re going to be skipping
\naround a bit, but we’re going to<\/p>\n
\n00:04:41,100 –> 00:04:48,400
\nstay mostly in Nehemiah.
\nThis really is the end of what <\/p>\n
\n00:04:48,400 –> 00:04:52,200
\nwe have as far as what’s
\nrecorded from Ezra and Nehemiah.<\/p>\n
\n00:04:52,300 –> 00:04:54,800
\nThis is the last chapter and
\nright up till the end. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:57,800
\nThey’re struggling, aren’t they?
\nWhere are we in the historical <\/p>\n
\n00:04:57,800 –> 00:04:59,500
\nrecord?
\nThe children of Israel had come <\/p>\n
\n00:04:59,500 –> 00:05:02,700
\nback under Cyrus’s?
\nDecree, that was definitely <\/p>\n
\n00:05:03,700 –> 00:05:06,200
\noverseen, by God’s Sovereign,
\nwill that he would make a <\/p>\n
\n00:05:06,207 –> 00:05:09,500
\nproclamation for all the Jews
\nand others. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:09,900 –> 00:05:13,400
\nThe Nephilim are included in the
\nlist of those who came back the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:18,100
\ngibeonites as well.
\nCame To help to build the Temple<\/p>\n
\n00:05:18,100 –> 00:05:21,600
\nof the Lord and to restore the
\nland of Judah. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:24,500
\nAgain, to a people that have
\nbeen dispossessed from their <\/p>\n
\n00:05:24,500 –> 00:05:28,200
\nland for 70 years, as Jeremiah
\nhad prophesied, and now they <\/p>\n
\n00:05:28,200 –> 00:05:33,100
\ncame back and incredible feat.
\nThe really incredible has it <\/p>\n
\n00:05:33,100 –> 00:05:35,900
\never happened ever before that,
\na people taken out of their <\/p>\n
\n00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:39,200
\ncountry had been tried to be
\nassimilated into a totally <\/p>\n
\n00:05:39,200 –> 00:05:41,600
\ndifferent culture.
\nTotally different religion, <\/p>\n
\n00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:46,400
\ntotally different language of
\npeople had stayed turret for 70 <\/p>\n
\n00:05:46,400 –> 00:05:49,200
\nyears.
\nWell, not all of them did, but <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,200 –> 00:05:51,200
\nmany of them did and they come
\nback. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:51,400 –> 00:05:54,700
\nSo we had under the rubble and
\nJoshua and under the the help of<\/p>\n
\n00:05:54,700 –> 00:05:57,500
\nthe Prophet Zechariah and
\nhaggai, the encouragement of <\/p>\n
\n00:05:57,500 –> 00:06:00,600
\nthem, they started building the
\nTemple even though there was <\/p>\n
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:04,400
\nbumps, there were valleys and
\nthey were Hills they succeeded <\/p>\n
\n00:06:04,400 –> 00:06:07,400
\nin doing this.
\nAnd next comes well, and within <\/p>\n
\n00:06:07,400 –> 00:06:11,200
\nthat time, period is a stir,
\nback in shushan and some <\/p>\n
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:13,500
\nincredible Feats that happen.
\nThey’re showing once again that <\/p>\n
\n00:06:13,500 –> 00:06:16,800
\nGod is in control and that he
\nwe’ll see his promises to the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:20,400
\nchildren of Israel fulfilled.
\nAnd he sees that and then we <\/p>\n
\n00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:23,500
\nhave azra coming back.
\nWe have him restoring once <\/p>\n
\n00:06:23,500 –> 00:06:27,100
\nagain, Temple worship with
\nanother decree from a pagan <\/p>\n
\n00:06:27,100 –> 00:06:31,400
\nHeathen King, that God had his
\nhand on that said, I’ll give you<\/p>\n
\n00:06:31,400 –> 00:06:33,700
\nall the things you need to
\nrepair that Temple and to <\/p>\n
\n00:06:33,700 –> 00:06:36,800
\nrestore.
\nOnce again, the worship of the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:36,808 –> 00:06:41,000
\nLord in the land of Jerusalem.
\nAnd so what we had again, was a <\/p>\n
\n00:06:41,008 –> 00:06:44,300
\nrest restoration and then
\nanother wave under Nehemiah, who<\/p>\n
\n00:06:44,300 –> 00:06:47,100
\nhears about the state of
\nJerusalem, not having any walls <\/p>\n
\n00:06:47,100 –> 00:06:51,000
\nto protect himself, And he goes
\nthere with a purpose in mind, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:53,300
\nthe gather, the people and to
\nsay, look at the distressed, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:53,300 –> 00:06:55,900
\nwe’re in, let’s gather the wits
\nthat we have. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:56,000 –> 00:07:00,000
\nLet’s let’s strengthen our faith
\nand let’s build and he does it, <\/p>\n
\n00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:03,200
\nand they build those walls.
\nAnd from what we see from <\/p>\n
\n00:07:03,200 –> 00:07:07,200
\narchaeologists like this man,
\nSir, Charles Warren 200 feet <\/p>\n
\n00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:10,300
\nhigh walls that were built in 52
\ndays. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:11,900 –> 00:07:16,400
\nThat’s a big feat for a people
\nwho were Goldsmith’s who are <\/p>\n
\n00:07:16,400 –> 00:07:20,200
\nperfumers and even the women
\nwere helping at all, working <\/p>\n
\n00:07:20,200 –> 00:07:24,400
\ntogether to build this wall, and
\nincredible work of the Ecclesia <\/p>\n
\n00:07:24,400 –> 00:07:26,900
\nof the Exiles.
\nAnd here we are today. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:26,900 –> 00:07:29,100
\nBrothers and sisters doing the
\nsame thing. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:29,500 –> 00:07:32,700
\nAnd we come to this chapter
\nNehemiah 13, the back end of all<\/p>\n
\n00:07:32,700 –> 00:07:37,300
\nthe events and the last phrase
\nin the whole book as Nehemiah <\/p>\n
\n00:07:37,300 –> 00:07:39,700
\nrecounts, the story is and what
\ngoes on in his life. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:39,700 –> 00:07:42,900
\nHe says, remember me.
\nOh my God, for good. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:45,400
\nNow, although that phrase.
\nSo remember me. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:46,200
\nOh my God.
\nFor good. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:48,200
\nOnly comes up three times in the
\nAmaya. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:49,600 –> 00:07:53,400
\nThe principle of remembrance
\ncomes up many times in the <\/p>\n
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:55,900
\nAmaya’s life and let’s just take
\na look at these. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:55,900 –> 00:07:58,300
\nYou know, if you look them up,
\nit starts out in chapter 1. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:00,900
\nAfter he’s asked his brother Han
\nand I what’s the state of <\/p>\n
\n00:08:00,900 –> 00:08:03,100
\nJerusalem in?
\nWell Nehemiah, the state of <\/p>\n
\n00:08:03,300 –> 00:08:06,400
\nJerusalem is horrible.
\nThe people are in distress. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:06,500 –> 00:08:09,400
\nThe walls are broken down.
\nThe gates are burned with fire. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:13,200
\nWe’re in a bad State Nehemiah.
\nWe don’t know where to turn <\/p>\n
\n00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:15,700
\neverywhere.
\nWe look, there’s enemies after <\/p>\n
\n00:08:15,700 –> 00:08:17,900
\nus.
\nWe’re scared to sleep at night <\/p>\n
\n00:08:17,900 –> 00:08:19,200
\nin case they come up and attack
\nus. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:21,100
\nUs.
\nWe’re scared for our families <\/p>\n
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:24,100
\nand the safety of our children.
\nNeed my, we don’t know what <\/p>\n
\n00:08:24,100 –> 00:08:27,500
\nwe’re going to do and Sonia.
\nMy is in great distress and what<\/p>\n
\n00:08:27,500 –> 00:08:30,100
\ndoes he do?
\nHe prays to the Lord fervently, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:30,300 –> 00:08:33,500
\nthat’s Nehemiah chapter 1 and we
\nknow his prayers beautiful. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:33,700 –> 00:08:37,799
\nIt’s in the same kind of vain as
\nDaniels prayers as Asura’s <\/p>\n
\n00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:40,299
\nprayers, who prayed about the
\nmoral problems? <\/p>\n
\n00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:41,799
\nThe Ecclesia was having his
\ntime. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:42,799 –> 00:08:46,600
\nIt’s in the same theme sometimes
\nin some ways as John 17, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:50,200
\nChrist’s prayer of unity of
\nstrengthening of the disciples <\/p>\n
\n00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:52,000
\nthat they might be one with
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:52,200 –> 00:08:54,600
\nAnd with God, as he was one with
\nhis father. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:56,000 –> 00:09:00,300
\nIn chapter 1 Ezra.
\nSorry Nehemiah chapter 1 We had <\/p>\n
\n00:09:00,300 –> 00:09:02,800
\nNehemiah saying, remember, I
\npray the word that you <\/p>\n
\n00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:04,600
\ncommanded.
\nYour servant Moses. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:07,300
\nSaying, if you are faithful, I
\nwill scatter you among the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:07,300 –> 00:09:10,300
\nNations, God.
\nI want you to remember this. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:11,500 –> 00:09:16,800
\n4:14 he says, and I looked in a
\nrose and said to the Nobles, the<\/p>\n
\n00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:20,200
\nleaders into the rest of the
\npeople do not be afraid of them.<\/p>\n
\n00:09:20,500 –> 00:09:24,000
\nRemember the Lord great and
\nawesome and fight for your <\/p>\n
\n00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:26,400
\nbrethren, your son’s, your
\ndaughter’s, your wives, and your<\/p>\n
\n00:09:26,400 –> 00:09:30,800
\nhouses petitioning, the rest of
\nthe Ecclesia to remember, how <\/p>\n
\n00:09:30,800 –> 00:09:34,900
\nincredible and awesome God had
\nbeen through their history in <\/p>\n
\n00:09:34,900 –> 00:09:37,700
\n13:14.
\nRemember me? <\/p>\n
\n00:09:37,700 –> 00:09:39,500
\nHere’s this, here’s one of these
\noccurrences. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:44,400
\nOh my God, concerning This and
\ndo not wipe out my good deeds <\/p>\n
\n00:09:44,400 –> 00:09:47,700
\nthat I have done for the house
\nof my God, and for its services <\/p>\n
\n00:09:48,600 –> 00:09:52,300
\nand 13 Verse 22.
\nAnd I commanded the Levites that<\/p>\n
\n00:09:52,300 –> 00:09:55,100
\nthey should cleanse themselves,
\nthat they should go and guard. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:55,100 –> 00:09:57,500
\nThe gates to sanctify the
\nSabbath. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:01,700
\nRemember me.
\nOh my God, concerning this also.<\/p>\n
\n00:10:01,900 –> 00:10:04,500
\nAnd spare me according to the
\ngreatness of your mercy. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:05,400 –> 00:10:10,100
\nIt’s you more remembrances right
\nat the end verse 29, remember <\/p>\n
\n00:10:10,100 –> 00:10:12,800
\nthem?
\nOh my God, those who had to <\/p>\n
\n00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:16,000
\nfile.
\nThose who had had marriages with<\/p>\n
\n00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,600
\nthose outside.
\nThe boundaries of the Ecclesia, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:18,900 –> 00:10:20,600
\nremember them?
\nOh my God, because they have to <\/p>\n
\n00:10:20,608 –> 00:10:23,500
\nfile the priesthood and the
\nCovenant of the priesthood and <\/p>\n
\n00:10:23,500 –> 00:10:26,000
\nthe Levites.
\nAnd then finally verse 31, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:26,000 –> 00:10:28,400
\nremember me.
\nOh my God, for good. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:32,700
\nAnd I have a question for you,
\nbrothers and sisters this <\/p>\n
\n00:10:32,700 –> 00:10:35,000
\nmorning.
\nAnd the question is, do we ask <\/p>\n
\n00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:40,000
\nGod to remember us?
\nAnd maybe there’s a question <\/p>\n
\n00:10:40,000 –> 00:10:43,000
\nthat we need to ask before we
\ncome to an answer on that one. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:43,700 –> 00:10:49,800
\nAnd that question might be, how
\ncan we the average ordinary <\/p>\n
\n00:10:49,800 –> 00:10:52,700
\ndisciple totally aware of our
\nweaknesses? <\/p>\n
\n00:10:54,500 –> 00:10:58,200
\nEven begin to base our prayers
\nupon our way of life like a <\/p>\n
\n00:10:58,200 –> 00:11:00,600
\nNehemiah did because that’s what
\nhe does. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:00,600 –> 00:11:02,400
\nDoesn’t he in chapter 19 chapter
\n13. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:02,700 –> 00:11:05,000
\nRemember me for what I have done
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:07,600
\nOh God, how does that work into
\nour minds? <\/p>\n
\n00:11:08,400 –> 00:11:11,400
\nHow does that work into our
\ntotal understanding of the word <\/p>\n
\n00:11:11,400 –> 00:11:13,500
\nof God?
\nDoes that make sense to us? <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,300 –> 00:11:16,400
\nPerhaps, because we don’t answer
\nthis first question. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:18,700
\nWe don’t even get to the second
\nquestion that we do. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:18,700 –> 00:11:21,900
\nWe remember to ask God to
\nremember us, because we’re not <\/p>\n
\n00:11:21,900 –> 00:11:25,300
\nsure if we can we can actually
\nWe asked him this. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:29,100
\nWe have nehemiah’s example.
\nBut then again, we might doubt <\/p>\n
\n00:11:29,100 –> 00:11:32,400
\nif we’re like Nehemiah.
\nThe think of the man, think of <\/p>\n
\n00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:36,000
\nthe man in Nehemiah, the man is
\nan incredible example of putting<\/p>\n
\n00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:38,900
\nhis heart.
\nHis soul and his mind into <\/p>\n
\n00:11:38,900 –> 00:11:42,800
\nreforming, Israel, working hard
\nand diligently a man of great <\/p>\n
\n00:11:42,800 –> 00:11:45,200
\nintelligence.
\nSo that it seems that he handles<\/p>\n
\n00:11:45,200 –> 00:11:48,600
\nevery situation correctly.
\nThat’s that’s what we see. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,700
\nThat’s what we feel.
\nWhen we read Nehemiah. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:53,200 –> 00:11:57,500
\nSo of course, he could say, God,
\nremember my good works. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:58,200 –> 00:12:01,200
\nPlease don’t wipe those out
\nbecause he had many good works. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:07,100
\nHe has bragging rights, we might
\nsay, it seems like it, doesn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:12:07,100 –> 00:12:10,400
\nit?
\nBut I don’t, I feel like, I <\/p>\n
\n00:12:10,400 –> 00:12:12,300
\ndon’t sometimes that’s why we
\nneed to be here. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:13,300 –> 00:12:16,700
\nWhat have I done being fully
\naware of my faults and my <\/p>\n
\n00:12:16,700 –> 00:12:19,100
\nblatant unrighteousness, which
\naligns myself. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:19,100 –> 00:12:22,400
\nSometimes more with allyship,
\nthe high priest, who had <\/p>\n
\n00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:26,900
\nconnections With the world or
\nwith tobiah, sometimes doubted <\/p>\n
\n00:12:26,900 –> 00:12:30,900
\nor Ashley always doubted.
\nThe promises that were given to <\/p>\n
\n00:12:30,900 –> 00:12:33,300
\nthe children of Israel and
\nworked at opposing them. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:35,400
\nMaybe sometimes, that’s what I’m
\nlike. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:37,100 –> 00:12:40,400
\nI’ve not single-handedly LED an
\nocclusion in a successful Reform<\/p>\n
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:42,600
\nmovement nor have I been so
\ndecisive. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:47,700
\nWhen tough problems and taken my
\nfamily or my Ecclesia or me by <\/p>\n
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:53,500
\nthe throat as Nehemiah did I’m
\nspeaking as a representative of <\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,500 –> 00:12:57,300
\nall of us, of course.
\nAnd first we must understand <\/p>\n
\n00:12:58,100 –> 00:13:00,800
\nthis, very important principle
\nin the truth in God’s word. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:02,300 –> 00:13:06,300
\nBrother, Cyril henin, he said,
\nGod does not require moral <\/p>\n
\n00:13:06,500 –> 00:13:11,200
\nperfection from his children.
\nAnd if that were the case, there<\/p>\n
\n00:13:11,200 –> 00:13:14,900
\nwould be none that could stand
\nbefore him, the laws whole <\/p>\n
\n00:13:14,900 –> 00:13:18,900
\npurpose was to break down those
\nunder it so that they would <\/p>\n
\n00:13:18,900 –> 00:13:22,700
\nrealize it was absolutely
\nimpossible to live a perfect <\/p>\n
\n00:13:22,700 –> 00:13:25,700
\nlife.
\nBut instead of giving up and <\/p>\n
\n00:13:25,700 –> 00:13:28,200
\nthrowing in the towel, the
\nindividual that was crushed by <\/p>\n
\n00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:32,100
\nthis realization would be led to
\nChrist in whom there is <\/p>\n
\n00:13:32,100 –> 00:13:35,900
\nforgiveness and righteousness
\nthat is given to us by God. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:38,700
\nAnd to quote, brother, Cyril,
\n10. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:42,000
\nAnd again, the Christian then is
\nnot a man who considers himself <\/p>\n
\n00:13:42,100 –> 00:13:45,700
\nTo Be A Cut Above others.
\nBut rather one who can recognize<\/p>\n
\n00:13:45,700 –> 00:13:49,700
\nhimself to be a sinner.
\nAnd, as such seek his perfection<\/p>\n
\n00:13:49,900 –> 00:13:53,400
\nin Christ, it is this belief and
\ncondition of mine, which <\/p>\n
\n00:13:53,400 –> 00:13:56,100
\nconstitutes righteousness in the
\nbiblical sense. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:57,600 –> 00:14:01,000
\nEnd of quote, Abraham, is our
\nexample of this, isn’t he? <\/p>\n
\n00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:06,200
\nHe’s in line with Nehemiah.
\nHe is brought out by God into a <\/p>\n
\n00:14:06,200 –> 00:14:10,700
\nstarry night and he’s told by
\nGod, I want you to look up the <\/p>\n
\n00:14:10,708 –> 00:14:13,900
\nAbraham.
\nHe’s told that his seed would <\/p>\n
\n00:14:13,900 –> 00:14:17,500
\neventually be like those stars
\nthat he saw in the sky coming <\/p>\n
\n00:14:17,500 –> 00:14:23,000
\nthrough one that was not Ishmael
\nbut through two very old people.<\/p>\n
\n00:14:25,300 –> 00:14:30,000
\nAnd Abraham was not justified by
\nany of his great works. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:31,900
\nAnd he liked me and Maya had
\nmany of them. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:35,400
\nIn fact, so he had in common
\ntraveling from Irv to Cal these <\/p>\n
\n00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:38,900
\nmany years before Nehemiah set
\nfoot on those same trails. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:41,400 –> 00:14:45,300
\nBut because he had complete
\ntrust and faith in what God Said<\/p>\n
\n00:14:45,800 –> 00:14:50,100
\nand this sets the tone for our
\nunderstanding of how God <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:53,300
\njustifies us.
\nDoes it depend on our own <\/p>\n
\n00:14:53,300 –> 00:14:57,900
\nrighteousness, of course not.
\nIt is based on our belief that <\/p>\n
\n00:14:57,900 –> 00:15:01,000
\nJesus was raised from the dead
\nand that God has extended <\/p>\n
\n00:15:01,000 –> 00:15:04,600
\nforgiveness of sins to us.
\nAnd that’s exactly what Romans 3<\/p>\n
\n00:15:04,600 –> 00:15:08,600
\nis teaching us when we read
\nthere in verse 21 to 26, but now<\/p>\n
\n00:15:08,600 –> 00:15:12,100
\nthe righteousness of God apart
\nfrom the law We’re at a distance<\/p>\n
\n00:15:12,100 –> 00:15:15,400
\nfrom the law is revealed being
\nwitnessed by the law and the <\/p>\n
\n00:15:15,400 –> 00:15:18,400
\nprophets, even the righteousness
\nof God through faith in Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:15:18,400 –> 00:15:22,500
\nChrist to all.
\nAnd on all who believe for there<\/p>\n
\n00:15:22,500 –> 00:15:25,500
\nis no difference for all have
\nsinned, and fall short of the <\/p>\n
\n00:15:25,508 –> 00:15:30,400
\nglory of God.
\nEven the Amaya Even Abraham <\/p>\n
\n00:15:31,300 –> 00:15:34,400
\nbeing justified freely by his
\ngrace through the Redemption <\/p>\n
\n00:15:34,400 –> 00:15:37,300
\nthat is in Christ.
\nJesus whom God set forth as a <\/p>\n
\n00:15:37,300 –> 00:15:42,100
\npropitiation by his blood
\nthrough faith to demonstrate his<\/p>\n
\n00:15:42,100 –> 00:15:45,600
\nrighteousness because in his
\nforbearance God had passed over <\/p>\n
\n00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:49,000
\nthe sins that were previously
\ncommitted to demonstrate at the <\/p>\n
\n00:15:49,000 –> 00:15:53,100
\npresent time, his righteousness
\nthat he might be justified. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:57,200
\nAnd the justifier of the one who
\nhas faith in Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:58,300 –> 00:16:01,400
\nAnd did Nehemiah understand
\nthese ideas coming out of Romans<\/p>\n
\n00:16:01,400 –> 00:16:03,800
\nor out of the New Testament that
\nwe can look back on. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:04,200 –> 00:16:06,800
\nDid he understand a messiah
\nwould come? <\/p>\n
\n00:16:09,300 –> 00:16:11,000
\nYes, he did brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:11,300 –> 00:16:13,600
\nSometimes I think we struggle
\nwith that in the Old Testament. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:14,100 –> 00:16:16,700
\nThinking about these men who
\ndidn’t know nearly as much as we<\/p>\n
\n00:16:16,700 –> 00:16:18,300
\ndo.
\nNow, we’re looking back on four,<\/p>\n
\n00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:20,600
\ngospels, and all these books
\nthat are written afterwards to <\/p>\n
\n00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:23,700
\nhelp us explain that, we need to
\nhave faith in Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:25,700 –> 00:16:30,100
\nNehemiah was a man who had
\nprofits in his time. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:30,700 –> 00:16:34,600
\nIn one of these prophets was
\nZechariah and I think we need to<\/p>\n
\n00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:37,700
\nsee what Zechariah has to say
\nabout the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:40,400
\nI would have given me a Maya,
\nthe same faith that you and I <\/p>\n
\n00:16:40,400 –> 00:16:42,700
\npossess.
\nBut looking forward, instead of <\/p>\n
\n00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:46,800
\nbackwards.
\nTake a look over at Zechariah <\/p>\n
\n00:16:46,800 –> 00:16:48,900
\nand we know that Zechariah was
\ncontemporary. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:48,900 –> 00:16:53,000
\nWe know from Ezra 5 verse 1, and
\nEzra 6, verse 14, that Ezra and <\/p>\n
\n00:16:53,008 –> 00:16:56,400
\nNehemiah came in a very critical
\ntime when the nation was losing <\/p>\n
\n00:16:56,400 –> 00:16:59,200
\ninterest in building.
\nThe the temple, they just laid <\/p>\n
\n00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:02,500
\nthe foundation, they put the
\naltar on its base, and then they<\/p>\n
\n00:17:02,500 –> 00:17:04,900
\nsat back because there were so
\nmany problems from the Nations <\/p>\n
\n00:17:04,900 –> 00:17:07,700
\naround them, they were being
\nopposed and so Zechariah and <\/p>\n
\n00:17:07,700 –> 00:17:10,300
\nhaggai were sent by God the stir
\nup. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:10,300 –> 00:17:13,099
\nThe people and encourage them,
\ngive them visions and really <\/p>\n
\n00:17:13,099 –> 00:17:16,599
\nthey, they work as a great team.
\nShaggy, I comes with a strong <\/p>\n
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:20,000
\nmessage, rebuking them saying,
\nconsider your ways, you’re <\/p>\n
\n00:17:20,000 –> 00:17:23,500
\nsitting here and you’re paneled
\nhouses, while the city of God <\/p>\n
\n00:17:23,599 –> 00:17:27,099
\nsits empty and for Lauren
\nconsider your ways, think about <\/p>\n
\n00:17:27,099 –> 00:17:30,800
\nwhat you’re doing.
\nAnd then you had Zechariah on <\/p>\n
\n00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:34,400
\nthe other side working with
\nHagee, I his brother, his <\/p>\n
\n00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:38,000
\nspiritual brother working with
\nhim and saying, let me show you <\/p>\n
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:39,900
\nsome incredible visions of the
\nfuture. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:40,100 –> 00:17:44,600
\nYou’re building this small
\nTemple of just think of the <\/p>\n
\n00:17:44,608 –> 00:17:47,300
\nfuture.
\nWhen a king priest will sit on a<\/p>\n
\n00:17:47,308 –> 00:17:50,700
\nthrone, when the Lord Jesus
\nChrist will be your king. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:54,900
\nWhen all nations will flow to
\nthem to Judah to Jerusalem, <\/p>\n
\n00:17:55,700 –> 00:17:59,700
\nthink of that time.
\nAnd now build and together, they<\/p>\n
\n00:17:59,700 –> 00:18:02,900
\nwork with a vision with a
\nrebuke, they work together and I<\/p>\n
\n00:18:02,900 –> 00:18:04,500
\nthink that’s the same in our
\nlives, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
\n00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:07,300
\nThe two things really compel us
\nand work with us. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:07,500 –> 00:18:09,100
\nSo in Zechariah, what do we
\nhave? <\/p>\n
\n00:18:09,100 –> 00:18:12,400
\nWhen we have some little
\nsnapshots that I’m sure Nehemiah<\/p>\n
\n00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:14,700
\nwould have read in been
\nencouraged by take a look at <\/p>\n
\n00:18:14,700 –> 00:18:22,400
\nZechariah, 3 verses 8 to 10.
\nAnd here’s Zechariah is speaking<\/p>\n
\n00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:24,800
\nto Joshua, who was the high
\npriest at the time, right before<\/p>\n
\n00:18:24,800 –> 00:18:28,200
\nNehemiah?
\nHe says to him hero, Joshua, the<\/p>\n
\n00:18:28,200 –> 00:18:30,800
\nhigh priest you and your
\ncompanions, and Joshua is the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:30,800 –> 00:18:33,700
\nhigh priest you and your
\ncompanions, you sit, before you <\/p>\n
\n00:18:33,700 –> 00:18:36,800
\nfor, they are a wondrous sign
\nfor behold. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:36,800 –> 00:18:40,200
\nI am bringing forth my servant
\nthe branch for behold the stone <\/p>\n
\n00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:43,700
\nthat I have laid before Joshua
\nupon the stone are seven, eyes, <\/p>\n
\n00:18:43,700 –> 00:18:44,800
\nbehold?
\nI will engrave. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:48,700
\nIt’s inscription says, the Lord
\nof hosts and I will remove the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:48,700 –> 00:18:53,100
\niniquity of That land in one day
\nin that day says the Lord of <\/p>\n
\n00:18:53,100 –> 00:18:55,600
\nhosts.
\nEveryone will invite his <\/p>\n
\n00:18:55,600 –> 00:19:00,000
\nneighbor under his Vine and
\nunder his fig tree and Nehemiah <\/p>\n
\n00:19:00,100 –> 00:19:03,800
\nknew better than to think that
\nthat prophecy stopped at Joshua.<\/p>\n
\n00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:06,600
\nThe high priest.
\nHe knew there was no way under <\/p>\n
\n00:19:06,600 –> 00:19:09,100
\nthe law that a high priest could
\nbe a king. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:10,800
\nAnd yet, here we have a king
\npriest. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:12,200 –> 00:19:14,900
\nNot only that but it says that I
\nwill remove the iniquity of that<\/p>\n
\n00:19:14,900 –> 00:19:18,300
\nland in one day.
\nWhen does that ever happen? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:18,300 –> 00:19:20,200
\nYou could say, well, maybe the
\nday of atonement. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:20,800 –> 00:19:23,300
\nBut even then, how is there any
\nreconciliation between the <\/p>\n
\n00:19:23,300 –> 00:19:26,600
\npeople and their God?
\nWhen only one man could enter <\/p>\n
\n00:19:26,600 –> 00:19:31,600
\ninto the most?
\nHoly the high priests Zechariah <\/p>\n
\n00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:33,100
\n6.
\nVerse 11 to 13. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:35,100 –> 00:19:39,200
\nAnother Vision another prophecy.
\nTake the silver and gold make an<\/p>\n
\n00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:41,900
\nelaborate Crown.
\nSet it on the head of Joshua, <\/p>\n
\n00:19:41,900 –> 00:19:45,500
\nthe son of josedech, the high
\npriest, then speak to him saying<\/p>\n
\n00:19:45,500 –> 00:19:48,600
\nthus, says, the Lord of hosts
\nsaying, behold the man whose <\/p>\n
\n00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:52,400
\nname is the branch from his
\nplace, he will Branch out and he<\/p>\n
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:54,100
\nwill build the Temple of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:56,300
\nYes, he shall build the Temple
\nof the Lord. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,000
\nHe shall bear the glory and
\nshall sit and rule on his <\/p>\n
\n00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:02,300
\nthrone.
\nSo he shall be a priest on his <\/p>\n
\n00:20:02,300 –> 00:20:06,400
\nthrone and the Council of peace.
\nShe’ll be between them both both<\/p>\n
\n00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:08,100
\noffices.
\nPriest and King. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:09,100 –> 00:20:12,600
\nWhat an incredible Vision.
\nNehemiah this man that we’ve <\/p>\n
\n00:20:12,600 –> 00:20:16,100
\nbeen looking at this weekend,
\ndefinitely saw the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:20:16,100 –> 00:20:20,100
\nChrist.
\nHe saw the attributes that we <\/p>\n
\n00:20:20,100 –> 00:20:25,700
\nsaw in his life Zechariah 9,
\nverse 9, finally Rejoice greatly<\/p>\n
\n00:20:25,700 –> 00:20:28,600
\no Daughter of Zion.
\nShout o daughter of Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:28,800 –> 00:20:30,700
\nBehold your king is coming to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:36,800
\nHe is just and having salvation
\nlowly and riding on a donkey on <\/p>\n
\n00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:41,100
\na Colt, the foal of a donkey in
\na time when there was no King, <\/p>\n
\n00:20:42,400 –> 00:20:47,200
\nwhen there was no King in Judah,
\nthis prophecy is given and <\/p>\n
\n00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:49,600
\nNehemiah would have been
\nencouraged by this brothers and <\/p>\n
\n00:20:49,600 –> 00:20:54,900
\nsisters.
\nHe knew the mercy of God, he <\/p>\n
\n00:20:54,900 –> 00:20:58,300
\nknew the Salvation that this
\nKing, the branch would bring <\/p>\n
\n00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:04,300
\nthat the iniquity would be gone
\nin one day so Nehemiah <\/p>\n
\n00:21:04,300 –> 00:21:07,200
\nunderstood all these things.
\nHe also understood that <\/p>\n
\n00:21:07,200 –> 00:21:10,500
\nforgiveness was an integral part
\nof praying to God and have been <\/p>\n
\n00:21:10,500 –> 00:21:14,000
\ngiven salvation by God’s grace
\nand his first prayer. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:14,000 –> 00:21:17,100
\nMakes this totally clear in
\nNehemiah chapter 1. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:23,500 –> 00:21:29,700
\nHe says there in verse 6.
\nPlease let your ear be attentive<\/p>\n
\n00:21:29,900 –> 00:21:34,200
\nand your eyes open that you may
\nhear the prayer of your servant,<\/p>\n
\n00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:37,400
\nwhich I pray before you now day
\nand night for the children of <\/p>\n
\n00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:40,600
\nIsrael, your servants, and
\nconfess the sins of the children<\/p>\n
\n00:21:40,600 –> 00:21:42,900
\nof Israel, which we have sinned
\nagainst you. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:43,000 –> 00:21:48,600
\nWe have sinned against you.
\nTaking the sin upon himself. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:53,900
\nFor my father’s house and I have
\nsinned. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:55,700 –> 00:21:59,000
\nSo, based on the understanding
\nthat asking God, to remember, us<\/p>\n
\n00:21:59,300 –> 00:22:01,800
\nis a display of our
\nunderstanding that he has <\/p>\n
\n00:22:01,800 –> 00:22:04,600
\nJustified Us by faith and that
\nwe are forgiven. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:04,900 –> 00:22:09,200
\nWe can now ask the questions.
\nDo we ask God, to remember us <\/p>\n
\n00:22:09,900 –> 00:22:13,900
\nfor good?
\nIt’s what we want. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:14,100 –> 00:22:16,500
\nIsn’t it?
\nWhat do we ask him? <\/p>\n
\n00:22:18,000 –> 00:22:21,700
\nDo we feel strange going into
\nhis presence and recounting to <\/p>\n
\n00:22:21,700 –> 00:22:23,400
\nhim?
\nWhat we have tried to do in <\/p>\n
\n00:22:23,400 –> 00:22:25,500
\nfaith to bring glory to his
\nname. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:26,300 –> 00:22:29,000
\nDo we relate to him our
\nexperiences in the Ecclesia, <\/p>\n
\n00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:33,400
\nboth bad and good, how we
\ninstructed the younger, how we <\/p>\n
\n00:22:33,400 –> 00:22:36,900
\nencourage the week, how we
\nstrengthen the faith, how we <\/p>\n
\n00:22:36,900 –> 00:22:38,800
\nexercise patience when it was
\nhard? <\/p>\n
\n00:22:39,300 –> 00:22:41,300
\nHow we helped an older person to
\ntheir chair. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:43,300
\nAsk them about their life in the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:50,100
\nDo we use the access that we
\nhave been given the full <\/p>\n
\n00:22:50,100 –> 00:22:53,700
\nadvantage going boldly into the
\nmost holy to be there in <\/p>\n
\n00:22:53,700 –> 00:22:57,700
\nfellowship with God and his
\nbeloved Son, the pour out to <\/p>\n
\n00:22:57,700 –> 00:23:01,100
\nhim, how we want to be
\nremembered for good and not for <\/p>\n
\n00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:04,800
\nevil?
\nAnd we should because in the <\/p>\n
\n00:23:04,800 –> 00:23:09,600
\nannals of scripture, we have not
\nonly Nehemiah asking God to <\/p>\n
\n00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:12,700
\nremember him for good, but we
\nhave quite a few incredible <\/p>\n
\n00:23:12,700 –> 00:23:16,700
\nindividuals that we would love
\nto be associated with Moses <\/p>\n
\n00:23:17,100 –> 00:23:18,400
\nasked.
\nGod to remember him. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:19,600 –> 00:23:22,400
\nSampson when he standing there
\nbetween the pillars. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:22,700 –> 00:23:28,800
\nPraise to God and says O, Lord
\nGod remember me, I pray thee and<\/p>\n
\n00:23:28,800 –> 00:23:30,200
\nstrengthen me.
\nI pray thee. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:30,400 –> 00:23:36,000
\nOnly this once oh God.
\nHannah for Samuel, 1 verse 11. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:36,300 –> 00:23:39,800
\nShe vows a vow.
\nIf thou will indeed look on the <\/p>\n
\n00:23:39,800 –> 00:23:44,100
\nAffliction of thine handmaid.
\nAnd remember me and not forget, <\/p>\n
\n00:23:44,100 –> 00:23:48,000
\nthine handmaid, but will give
\ninto thine handmaid a man-child,<\/p>\n
\n00:23:48,000 –> 00:23:50,700
\nthen I will give him unto the
\nLord, all the days of his life. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:51,900 –> 00:23:55,300
\nHezekiah in his struggles with
\nhis life. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:55,300 –> 00:23:57,600
\nGoing to be shortened.
\nHe says, I beseech thee. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:57,600 –> 00:24:01,600
\nIn Second Kings, 20 verse 3.
\nRemember now O Lord, how I have <\/p>\n
\n00:24:01,600 –> 00:24:05,300
\nwalked before thee in truth and
\nwith a perfect heart and have <\/p>\n
\n00:24:05,300 –> 00:24:07,100
\ndone that, which is good and
\neyesight. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:07,800 –> 00:24:11,600
\nWe remember, Joe.
\nAnd Joe 14, verse 13, do that, <\/p>\n
\n00:24:11,600 –> 00:24:15,000
\nthat Woods tied, me in the grave
\nthat that would keep me secret <\/p>\n
\n00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:18,500
\nuntil thy wrath be past that.
\nThat was the point me a set <\/p>\n
\n00:24:18,500 –> 00:24:23,100
\ntime.
\nAnd remember me, And then <\/p>\n
\n00:24:23,100 –> 00:24:27,000
\nthere’s David and there’s
\nJeremiah and there’s so many <\/p>\n
\n00:24:27,000 –> 00:24:31,100
\nbrothers and sisters that ask
\nGod specifically remember me? <\/p>\n
\n00:24:34,500 –> 00:24:37,700
\nAnd there’s one more that we
\nneed to consider this morning <\/p>\n
\n00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:40,500
\nthat will bring us right to the
\ntable of Our Lord. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:41,400 –> 00:24:45,100
\nWe come to a scene just outside
\nof Jerusalem that we’re all <\/p>\n
\n00:24:45,100 –> 00:24:49,200
\nfamiliar with and our savior,
\nthis King priest. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:55,800
\nThis man who would take away the
\niniquity in one day by the power<\/p>\n
\n00:24:55,800 –> 00:24:58,100
\nof God.
\nThis man that was bruised for <\/p>\n
\n00:24:58,100 –> 00:25:02,600
\nour iniquities who represented
\nUs in the last moments of his <\/p>\n
\n00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:05,800
\nlife.
\nAfter years of Total Service and<\/p>\n
\n00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:11,400
\nObedience of Desiring to do
\nGod’s will He is there between <\/p>\n
\n00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:16,200
\ntwo men, two thieves.
\nThe one is like Nehemiah. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:17,400 –> 00:25:19,900
\nThe other is like the enemies of
\nNehemiah. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:22,400 –> 00:25:25,200
\nThe one understands that he is
\nthere because he deserves death,<\/p>\n
\n00:25:25,500 –> 00:25:28,800
\nsince he has done something
\ndeserving of it and he is not <\/p>\n
\n00:25:28,800 –> 00:25:32,500
\nnamed, but we can see his heart
\nand the exchange that he has <\/p>\n
\n00:25:32,500 –> 00:25:35,300
\nwith Jesus, in these last few
\nmoments of their lives. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:36,200 –> 00:25:38,300
\nAnd this will bring us to the
\nemblems powerfully brothers and <\/p>\n
\n00:25:38,300 –> 00:25:40,700
\nsisters.
\nThe exchange takes place in Luke<\/p>\n
\n00:25:40,700 –> 00:25:53,200
\nchapter 23, Luke 23, verse 42,
\n43. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:56,600 –> 00:26:00,500
\nWe’re jumping into the context,
\nsays there, but the other <\/p>\n
\n00:26:01,200 –> 00:26:05,800
\nanswering rebuked him saying, do
\nyou not even fear God, seeing <\/p>\n
\n00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:08,700
\nyou, are under the same
\ncondemnation and we indeed <\/p>\n
\n00:26:08,700 –> 00:26:11,500
\njustly for.
\nWe receive the due reward of our<\/p>\n
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:16,100
\nDeeds, but this man has done
\nnothing wrong that he said to <\/p>\n
\n00:26:16,100 –> 00:26:23,000
\nJesus, Lord, remember me when
\nyou come into your kingdom, And <\/p>\n
\n00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:26,700
\nJesus said to him, assuredly, I
\nsay to you today, you will be <\/p>\n
\n00:26:26,700 –> 00:26:30,900
\nwith me in Paradise.
\nWe find ourselves in the same <\/p>\n
\n00:26:30,900 –> 00:26:34,300
\nposition brothers and sisters.
\nThe Nehemiah found himself into.<\/p>\n
\n00:26:35,300 –> 00:26:38,300
\nWe deserve the sentence of death
\non us because we have earned the<\/p>\n
\n00:26:38,300 –> 00:26:42,200
\nwages through sin.
\nJesus, did not. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:44,100 –> 00:26:46,800
\nAnd when we realize that Jesus
\nis the reason that we can ask <\/p>\n
\n00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:51,000
\nGod to remember us for good, we
\nappreciate his life and his <\/p>\n
\n00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:57,000
\ndeath, he died that you and I
\nand the thief and Nehemiah and <\/p>\n
\n00:26:57,000 –> 00:27:00,700
\nall who call on his name and
\nfull faith may have life. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:03,000 –> 00:27:06,200
\nSo we under God and understand
\nthat God will justify his by his<\/p>\n
\n00:27:06,200 –> 00:27:08,700
\ngrace because of our faith in
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:09,100 –> 00:27:13,500
\nAnd we believe that God wants us
\nto give him no rest concerning. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:13,500 –> 00:27:18,300
\nOur hope in the resurrection and
\ngiving glory to him, God loves <\/p>\n
\n00:27:18,300 –> 00:27:21,200
\nus to remind him to remember us
\nfor good. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:25,500
\nWe now remember Jesus.
\nAnd in so doing ask him to <\/p>\n
\n00:27:25,500 –> 00:27:28,200
\nremember us when he comes into
\nhis kingdom. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:29,300 –> 00:27:31,600
\nThe closes one passage, I think
\nthat fits so well. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:32,200 –> 00:27:37,800
\nMalachi chapter 3 verse 16 to 17
\nin the same general period as <\/p>\n
\n00:27:37,800 –> 00:27:41,200
\nNehemiah, was working with an
\nEcclesia that had tons of <\/p>\n
\n00:27:41,200 –> 00:27:44,400
\nstruggles, tons of problems as
\nit fought against opposition on <\/p>\n
\n00:27:44,400 –> 00:27:52,300
\nthe outside and within Malachi’s
\nmessage at the end is Malachi 3,<\/p>\n
\n00:27:52,300 –> 00:27:56,000
\nverse 16 and 17.
\nThen those who feared the Lord, <\/p>\n
\n00:27:56,100 –> 00:28:00,200
\nspoke to one another and the
\nLord listened, and he heard <\/p>\n
\n00:28:00,200 –> 00:28:02,900
\nthem.
\nSo, a book of remembrance was <\/p>\n
\n00:28:02,900 –> 00:28:06,400
\nwritten before him for those who
\nfear the lord, and who meditate <\/p>\n
\n00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:09,900
\non his name.
\nThey shall be mine, says the <\/p>\n
\n00:28:09,900 –> 00:28:14,300
\nLord of hosts on the day that I
\nmake up my jewels and I will <\/p>\n
\n00:28:14,300 –> 00:28:18,000
\nspare them as a man, spares.
\nHis only son who served him. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:19,200 –> 00:28:22,100
\nRemember us.
\nO Our God for good. <\/p>\n
