Class 2 from this series was used for GCT Episode 196.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,000 –> 00:00:10,500
\nI am so excited to be talking
\nabout this subject Christ coming<\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,500 –> 00:00:17,000
\nin clouds but it begins.
\nIt begins with the resurrection <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,000 –> 00:00:21,100
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nI want you just to imagine the <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:21,100 –> 00:00:27,400
\ntime that Jesus had risen from
\nthe tomb had been many weeks. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:27,400 –> 00:00:31,800
\nNow, many things that pass by
\nand for the Pools. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:32,100 –> 00:00:36,400
\nIt was no longer daring to
\nbelieve that Jesus would rise. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:37,700 –> 00:00:43,400
\nBut now, they firmly knew that
\nhe had risen from the dead. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:44,800 –> 00:00:50,600
\nAnd it was one Sabbath that that
\nJesus led his 12 disciples out <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:54,500
\nfrom Jerusalem.
\nDown into the kedron valley, <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:54,500 –> 00:00:58,400
\npast the Garden of Gethsemane
\nup, the slopes of the Mount of <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:58,400 –> 00:01:01,800
\nOlives and there they were.
\nThey stood there listening to <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:01,800 –> 00:01:05,200
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAs he has, he gave them words of<\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:08,900
\ninstruction.
\nHis last words before he <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:12,700
\ndeparted.
\nAnd can you imagine that scene <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:12,700 –> 00:01:15,900
\nand that scene is so
\nreminiscent, isn’t it of Elijah?<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:21,000
\nAnd Elijah?
\nElijah, the pupil of Elijah and <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:25,800
\nElijah told Elijah that if
\nElijah saw him go up into <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:25,800 –> 00:01:31,000
\nheaven, then he would receive
\nthe double portion Under the Sun<\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:38,500
\nship. and here, now, these 12
\nThey too would watch their <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:38,500 –> 00:01:40,100
\nMaster.
\nGo up into heaven. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:41,600 –> 00:01:46,800
\nAnd they too would receive
\nsonship, they would become heirs<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:46,900 –> 00:01:52,400
\nthe apostles and their mission
\nwould be to take the still small<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:57,700
\nvoice of calm to the four
\ncorners of the earth. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:00,400
\nSo let’s just open up our Bibles
\nthis morning, brothers, and <\/p>\n
26
\n00:02:00,400 –> 00:02:02,000
\nsisters.
\nAnd let’s have a look at Acts <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:02,200 –> 00:02:06,800
\nchapter 1.
\nUnder this special day had <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:09,000
\narrived.
\nJesus would have sent to his <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:09,000 –> 00:02:11,700
\nfather and their Jesus, stood
\nwith the 12. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:11,700 –> 00:02:13,900
\nAnd I want you just to notice a
\nlittle details, always in the <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:13,908 –> 00:02:16,700
\nlittle details, isn’t it?
\nAt the end of verse 12, it says <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:20,300
\nthat Jerusalem where they stood
\non the Mount of Olives was a <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:20,300 –> 00:02:24,400
\nSabbath Day’s Journey.
\nWant you to notice that Sabbath <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:27,500
\nDay’s Journey, that’s really,
\nreally important. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:27,600 –> 00:02:31,900
\nAccording to tradition a Sabbath
\nDay’s Journey was 2,000. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:33,600 –> 00:02:36,800
\nCubic he’s so Luke is
\ndeliberately drawing our <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:40,100
\nattention to the fact that where
\nJesus, stood moments before he <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:40,100 –> 00:02:44,600
\nascended into heaven and a city
\nof the king, the city of the <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:50,300
\npromises, the city that had
\nrejected, the Messiah, what’s <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:50,300 –> 00:02:58,200
\n2,000 cubits away, I’m surely
\nthen with this deliberate <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:58,500 –> 00:03:00,500
\ndrawing of our attention.
\nBye bye. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:00,500 –> 00:03:02,200
\nLuke.
\nSurely this. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:02,300 –> 00:03:06,400
\nThere’s something being hinted
\nhere and there is just remember,<\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:06,900 –> 00:03:12,200
\njust remember how there were
\n2,000 cubits between the Ark of <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:16,200
\nthe Covenant and the people of
\nGod as they made their way, into<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:16,200 –> 00:03:18,500
\nthe promised land and you can
\nread it that if you’re making <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:18,500 –> 00:03:23,400
\nnotes, Joshua 3 verse 4, we know
\nin symbol that this Arc spoke of<\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:23,400 –> 00:03:27,100
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ and
\nthey’ll be In unit two thousand <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:27,100 –> 00:03:32,200
\nyears, he would be the first and
\nthen many others would be <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:37,100
\nushered into Glory.
\nAnd so in other words, then I <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:37,100 –> 00:03:40,800
\nbelieve, I personally believe
\nthat what we’re seeing here in <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:43,600
\nActs chapter 1 is a, is a
\nkingdom seen. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:44,100 –> 00:03:48,500
\nIt’s a kingdom.
\nSeen 2000 cubits between the Ark<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:48,500 –> 00:03:52,300
\nof the Covenant of the people of
\nGod, 2,000 cubits between where <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:52,300 –> 00:03:55,600
\nJesus, stood with his 12
\ndisciples and the City of <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:55,600 –> 00:04:01,300
\nJerusalem that was in darkness.
\nand they were the first to see <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:04,600
\nJesus ascending to heaven and
\nsurely the excitation is that in<\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:08,700
\ntwo thousand years later,
\nJerusalem would see that Glory <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:09,900 –> 00:04:14,000
\nJerusalem would see that Glory,
\nas brother Johnny mentioned, <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,899
\nisn’t it an amazing privilege
\nthat here? <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:16,899 –> 00:04:19,700
\nWe have this Kingdom seeing
\nthese two thousand cubits and we<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:19,700 –> 00:04:23,300
\nhappen to be the generation
\nliving in the 2000 cubits. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:23,900 –> 00:04:26,700
\nWe are the ones brothers and
\nsisters are young people who are<\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:26,707 –> 00:04:31,300
\non the threshold of the Kingdom.
\nWhat a privilege, what an honor.<\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:31,400 –> 00:04:36,000
\nWhat an opportunity we have.
\nLet’s seize that opportunity. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:37,100 –> 00:04:40,200
\nwell, it’s also quite
\ninteresting to observe the way <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:44,000
\nthat Luke Mentoring these two
\nthousand cubits. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:47,900
\nThe way that Luke highlights the
\nway that Jesus ascended into <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:47,900 –> 00:04:49,900
\nheaven.
\nWe’ve got the, the phrases here <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:49,900 –> 00:04:52,900
\non the screen, but they’re
\ninteresting to notice at the end<\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:52,900 –> 00:04:58,000
\nof Luke and Luke 24:51, it says
\nthat Jesus was carried up into <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,000
\nheaven.
\nVery, very simple language. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:04,100
\nIn Acts chapter 1 verse 9, it
\nsays he was taken up in the <\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:06,100
\nchapter which were looking at
\nnow acts 1 verse 9. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:06,100 –> 00:05:10,300
\nHe was taken up and that means
\nto lift up to razor and in Acts <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:10,300 –> 00:05:13,800
\n1 verse 10, he went up Which
\nmeans to go to depart. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:13,800 –> 00:05:16,600
\nSo if you look at those words, I
\nknow it’s early in the morning <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:20,000
\nto be doing this, but if you
\nlook at those words, it’s <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:25,900
\ntelling you from acts that Jesus
\nphysically went away up into <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:25,900 –> 00:05:28,800
\nheaven, there’s a physical
\nmovement that’s going on, but in<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:28,800 –> 00:05:33,800
\nLuke under the spirit, Luke
\nchoose is a very different word <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:38,700
\nand there’s a message, being
\nconveyed here and that word <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:38,700 –> 00:05:41,100
\nbrothers and sisters, young
\npeople is really interesting <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:41,100 –> 00:05:45,600
\nbecause when we look at that,
\nWord it relates to sacrifice. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:51,500
\nAn acceptable sacrifice, I’m
\ngoing to show you a verse here. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:51,500 –> 00:05:55,200
\nYou’ll all know it, but this is
\nthe way that this word is used <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:56,400 –> 00:06:00,000
\nwho needeth, not daily, as those
\nHigh, priests to offer up <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:00,100 –> 00:06:02,900
\nsacrifice first for his own
\nsins. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:06,700
\nAnd then for the people’s for
\ntheir he did once when he <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:06,700 –> 00:06:09,900
\noffered up himself for the that
\nphrase their offer up and <\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:09,900 –> 00:06:15,000
\noffered up himself is the same
\nwere there, he went up or he was<\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,600
\ncarried her in Luke 24.
\nAnd verse 51. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:21,900
\nSo what’s the message there?
\nWhat it’s telling us that <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:21,900 –> 00:06:25,300
\nsomething momentous happened
\nupon this land. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:25,300 –> 00:06:27,800
\nIt wasn’t just simply that the
\nLord Jesus Christ ascended from <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:32,000
\nthis mount.
\nSomething was finished. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:32,700 –> 00:06:37,100
\nIt was completed and it Rose as
\na sweet smelling Savor. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:39,500
\nI want you to imagine it as the
\nLord Jesus Christ ascended into <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:39,500 –> 00:06:41,100
\nheaven.
\nIt was as if it were a <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:41,100 –> 00:06:44,800
\nsweet-smelling savour rising up
\ninto the nostrils of almighty <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:44,800 –> 00:06:47,000
\nGod.
\nBut it also tells us that a <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:51,400
\njourney at finished Fitness
\njourney that the ministrations <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:51,400 –> 00:06:54,400
\nof the Lord, Jesus Christ, the
\nword that he had upon the Earth <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:57,800
\nwas now finished upon this
\nMount, and it’s telling us that <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:57,800 –> 00:07:01,200
\na the commencement of a New
\nJourney began, and I want you <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:01,200 –> 00:07:03,700
\njust to plan those ideas in your
\nmind. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:03,700 –> 00:07:06,700
\nThat as he leaves the Mount of
\nOlives, of course, he ascends <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:08,800
\ninto heaven, but it’s a New
\nJourney. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:09,800 –> 00:07:13,300
\nAnd you live for the Lord.
\nJesus Christ, and he was <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:13,300 –> 00:07:21,000
\naccepted by God.
\nNow, today, even the most <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:25,600
\npowerful telescopes in space,
\nlike the Hubble telescope <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:33,100
\nnothing has discovered heaven.
\nAnd if you look at what gone a <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:33,100 –> 00:07:35,600
\nscreen here, the Andromeda
\ngalaxy, which is the the <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:37,900
\nfarthest object, which is
\nvisible to the naked. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:37,900 –> 00:07:39,800
\nI’m sure you’ve all seen
\npictures like that, you Actually<\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:44,700
\nsee it on a clear starry night,
\nthat’s two and a half million <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:44,700 –> 00:07:46,800
\nlight-years away.
\nSo you have to travel for two <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:50,100
\nand a half million years at the
\nspeed of light to get to our <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:56,100
\nnearest galaxy.
\nIf you look at space, A <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:56,108 –> 00:07:58,700
\nscientist talk about observable
\nuniverse. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:02,500
\nSo if you look at the center of
\nthe earth to the Outer Perimeter<\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:02,500 –> 00:08:08,900
\nof the observable universe, it’s
\n46 billion light years. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:09,300 –> 00:08:12,000
\nSo the circumference of space
\neverything that we can see in a <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:12,000 –> 00:08:17,000
\ncircle is between 92 and 93
\nbillion light years away. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:18,200 –> 00:08:19,800
\nSo you might be asking which
\nreally intelligent all. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:23,100
\nThis is, what is beyond the
\nobservable universe. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:23,800 –> 00:08:28,700
\nI don’t know, nobody knows
\nscientist owner because the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:28,700 –> 00:08:33,900
\ngalaxies and the stars are so
\nfar away that the light will <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:33,900 –> 00:08:38,200
\nnever reach us.
\nNow, let’s think about God. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:40,000 –> 00:08:43,900
\nWhere does he abide?
\nSurely by by, just simply <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:43,900 –> 00:08:45,900
\nthinking about these things.
\nHe lives. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:45,900 –> 00:08:48,300
\nHe dwells beyond the observable
\nuniverse. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:48,300 –> 00:08:53,000
\nSurely that’s a reasonable thing
\nto think that that he’s Beyond <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:57,500
\nhis own creation, that he
\ntranscends the world’s that he <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:57,500 –> 00:09:03,200
\nbuilt.
\nThis is almighty God and Jesus <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:03,200 –> 00:09:06,000
\nis now he’s on his way to be
\nwith him. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:12,300
\nJust think of that.
\nJust think of that. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:17,000
\nAnd so, then surely we can only
\nconclude one thing that when the<\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:17,000 –> 00:09:20,200
\ndisciples there on the mountain,
\nthey see the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:23,100
\nNow, their Master ascending into
\nheaven, who is it for? <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:23,500 –> 00:09:25,700
\nIt’s not for Jesus, he’s got a
\nlong way to go. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:27,200 –> 00:09:30,800
\nIt’s for them.
\nTo make an impression upon them <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:31,700 –> 00:09:35,800
\nto change their lives.
\nBut surely when the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:41,600
\nChrist is out of sight.
\nHe was teleported to a fourth <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,200
\ndimension.
\nNow you might be thinking fourth<\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:46,700
\ndimension, its 9:30 on a
\nSaturday morning, that’s too <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:46,700 –> 00:09:47,800
\nmuch.
\nIs it brothers? <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:52,000
\nAnd sisters is not at all.
\nAll, it’s not at all think of <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:56,100
\nJacob’s Ladder.
\nThe angels that ascended and <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:56,100 –> 00:10:00,300
\ndescended from Earth to heaven
\nwith God at the top. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:01,900 –> 00:10:07,000
\nAnd surely then the Lord Jesus
\nChrist was transported to heaven<\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:07,400 –> 00:10:10,900
\nin a similar way.
\nThere are the Angels and they <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:10,900 –> 00:10:17,600
\nabide with almighty God beyond
\nall time in the eternity of God <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:17,600 –> 00:10:23,000
\nand they have the ability to
\nreturn to this earth in any <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:27,000
\npoint in the human timeline.
\nIt’s extraordinary, it’s beyond <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:27,000 –> 00:10:32,500
\ncertainly a Saturday morning to
\nthink about So, I want you to <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:32,500 –> 00:10:35,500
\nimagine then Jesus being lifted
\nup into the clouds. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:36,300 –> 00:10:40,500
\nYes and there the disciples are
\nseeing him higher and higher <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:42,900
\nuntil he’s finally out decide.
\nAnd then we read these. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:42,900 –> 00:10:45,500
\nWell-known versus, let’s have a
\nlook at verse 10 of Acts chapter<\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:45,500 –> 00:10:47,400
\none.
\nAnd while they looked <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:47,600 –> 00:10:51,700
\nsteadfastly towards heaven, as
\nJesus went up, behold two, men, <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:51,700 –> 00:10:55,000
\nstood by them in white apparel,
\nwhich also said ye men of <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:55,000 –> 00:11:01,600
\nGalilee, Why stand ye gazing up
\ninto heaven, this same Jesus, <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:01,600 –> 00:11:04,900
\nwhich is taken up from you into
\nheaven, shall so come in like <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:04,900 –> 00:11:07,800
\nmanner.
\nAs we have, as you have seen him<\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:07,800 –> 00:11:14,200
\ngo into heaven.
\nI’m surely we’ve all got a vivid<\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:14,200 –> 00:11:17,300
\npicture of that, but I want to
\ndraw your attention to a word <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:17,300 –> 00:11:22,700
\nhere.
\nIt says that Jesus was received <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:23,900 –> 00:11:25,700
\ninto this plan.
\nI want just to look at that, <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:25,700 –> 00:11:27,800
\nplease.
\nIt says that he was received. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:31,000
\nI believe this a little clue
\nhere that that something’s going<\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:34,900
\non, that’s possibly behind or
\nbeyond our imagination here. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:40,800
\nThat that would receive means to
\nPick up from below to carry <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:40,800 –> 00:11:44,500
\nupward and and so, then it’s
\nquite natural, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:44,500 –> 00:11:48,600
\nThat this Cloud came down and,
\nand, and, and gathered up Jesus <\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:48,800 –> 00:11:51,900
\nand picked him up and took him
\non his way. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:52,100 –> 00:11:56,900
\nBut he’d also means to receive
\nhospitably to welcome. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:56,900 –> 00:11:59,800
\nSo the Something About This
\nCloud that welcomes the Lord <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:59,800 –> 00:12:04,400
\nJesus Christ.
\nThe welcomes him do clouds, do <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:07,600
\nthat and escorting him on his
\nway. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:07,900 –> 00:12:10,700
\nWell, what is this Cloud?
\nWell perhaps it is the Shekinah <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:10,700 –> 00:12:13,200
\nGlory that the symbol of of
\nGod’s presence. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:16,500
\nHis power, his glory.
\nThat the very thing that covered<\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:16,500 –> 00:12:18,500
\nthe Tabernacle the temple.
\nWhen we look at the <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:18,500 –> 00:12:22,200
\nTransfiguration it engulf the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:32,200
\nBut I believe that this Cloud
\nwas a cloud of angel. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:41,000
\nAnd think about this.
\nIf a multitude of the Heavenly <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:41,000 –> 00:12:47,500
\nHost sound glory to God at the
\nbirth of the Lord, Jesus Christ,<\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:48,200 –> 00:12:52,200
\nwhat would they do?
\nWhen one who has overcome the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:54,700
\nworld, when his work is now
\nfinished? <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:54,700 –> 00:12:58,700
\nHe’s now to ascend the Father in
\nHeaven, he’s journey is over and<\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:58,700 –> 00:13:02,600
\na New Journey Begins.
\nSurely they would shout for joy.<\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:03,700 –> 00:13:07,300
\nAnd I believe this is the
\nwelcoming of the angels that we <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:07,300 –> 00:13:10,800
\nhave here.
\nSo we have two magnificent book <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:13,600
\nends, just imagine that we’ve
\ngot two magnificent book ends at<\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:13,600 –> 00:13:17,000
\nthe beginning of the life of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:17,000 –> 00:13:20,400
\nAnd at the conclusion of his
\nlife on Earth you what do you <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:20,400 –> 00:13:22,000
\nhave?
\nYou’ve got something very <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:22,000 –> 00:13:24,600
\nsimilar.
\nHaving you, you’ve got an angel <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:30,000
\nor Angels narrating to Shepherds
\nand disciples and then you’ve <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:30,000 –> 00:13:35,500
\ngot a spectacular Heavenly
\ndisplay or Angels, praising God.<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:35,900 –> 00:13:37,900
\nHave you ever thought about that
\nbrothers and sisters young <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:37,900 –> 00:13:41,200
\npeople?
\nIt’s absolutely marvelous. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:46,600
\nAnd these two angels, these two
\nangels that stayed behind that <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:49,300
\ndidn’t ascore.
\nJesus Christ to Heaven, who were<\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:49,300 –> 00:13:53,100
\nthey were surely.
\nWe don’t have to exercise our <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:55,900
\nimaginations too much.
\nSurely, they were Gabriel and <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:55,900 –> 00:14:00,700
\nMichael Gabriel the one that
\nspoke to Mary about the begotten<\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:00,700 –> 00:14:03,800
\nson.
\nThe one who had taken on the <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:03,800 –> 00:14:08,400
\nrole to preserve the seed.
\nAnd Michael. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:09,500 –> 00:14:14,100
\nThe angel of God’s people, the
\nangel of his presence. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:16,900 –> 00:14:21,900
\nNow I want to add some more
\npicture, a color, and and drama <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,100
\nto this climactic picture that
\nwe’re looking at. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:27,300
\nI want to have a look at an Old
\nTestament prophecy. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:27,900 –> 00:14:29,300
\nCan we have a look at Daniel
\nchapter 7? <\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:29,300 –> 00:14:32,700
\nYou might be thinking, it’s not
\na natural connection to go to, <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:32,700 –> 00:14:49,000
\nbut it is,
\nDaniel chapter 7 and as we go <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:49,000 –> 00:14:53,700
\nhere, that the connections with
\nthe scene that we try to paint <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:53,700 –> 00:14:56,400
\nin your minds, will just jump
\nout from the page. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:56,400 –> 00:14:59,700
\nLet’s have a look at verse 13.
\nI’ve Daniel chapter 7. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:03,400
\nSo here then that the drama of
\nthis Vision, I saw in the night <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:07,000
\nvisions and behold, one like the
\nson of man, we’re going to look <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:09,300
\nat this thing all the way
\nthrough the weekend. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:09,500 –> 00:15:12,600
\nWhen you think about clouds, you
\nhave to think about the son of <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:12,600 –> 00:15:15,500
\nman one.
\nLike the son of man came with <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:19,000
\nthe clouds of heaven and came to
\nthe Ancient of Days and they <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:22,800
\nbrought him near before him.
\nWell, it’s interesting, isn’t it<\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:22,800 –> 00:15:26,900
\nthat we’ve got one like notice
\nthat one like the son of man, <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:26,900 –> 00:15:29,000
\nand if you know anything about
\nDaniel chapter 7, you’ve got a <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:29,000 –> 00:15:32,200
\nwhole list of beasts.
\nTerrifying beasts there. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:32,500 –> 00:15:35,200
\nAnd it’s interesting.
\nIsn’t it the way that Daniel <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:38,600
\ndescribes these beasts have a
\nlook at this verse for like a <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:43,900
\nlion like a bear like a leopard.
\nSo there’s an immediate contrast<\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:43,900 –> 00:15:47,100
\none like the Son of Man 1 like a
\nlion. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:47,300 –> 00:15:50,000
\nOne like a bear.
\nOne like a leopard. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:50,000 –> 00:15:53,200
\nSo these three animals that
\nwe’ve looked at so far, take on <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:57,200
\nthe attributes and
\ncharacteristics of wild animals,<\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:57,400 –> 00:16:00,000
\nbut we have a fourth piece and
\nthis fourth Beast here. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:00,400 –> 00:16:03,300
\nIs absolutely terrifying and you
\ncan see that in verse 7. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:03,300 –> 00:16:07,000
\nIt’s unlike any other of the
\nanimals that Daniel has <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:07,000 –> 00:16:09,800
\nwitnessed.
\nIn fact, there’s no other animal<\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:09,800 –> 00:16:16,500
\nlike it in the animal kingdom,
\nbut the next scene is altogether<\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:16,500 –> 00:16:18,600
\ndifferent.
\nThis is a man with the Clouds Of<\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:18,600 –> 00:16:20,700
\nHeaven.
\nIt’s not terrifying. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:21,300 –> 00:16:24,200
\nIt’s not like the four beasts
\nthat preceded. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:24,900 –> 00:16:27,100
\nIt’s a picture that is
\ncomforting and uplifting. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:29,900
\nIt’s one that Thrills.
\nDaniel and brothers and sisters <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:29,900 –> 00:16:32,100
\nyoung people.
\nIt’s one that should thrill us, <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:32,200 –> 00:16:36,300
\nand there’s so much units.
\nBut before we look at that, I <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:36,300 –> 00:16:40,900
\njust want to notice some of the
\nlanguage, one like the son of <\/p>\n
252
\n00:16:40,900 –> 00:16:45,000
\nman there in verse 13.
\nWell, that prompts the thought, <\/p>\n
253
\n00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:47,500
\ndoesn’t it?
\nBecause that’s very similar to <\/p>\n
254
\n00:16:47,500 –> 00:16:50,500
\nsomething that I’m sure we’ve
\nall looked at in the past. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:50,500 –> 00:16:53,000
\nLet’s have a quick look at
\nDaniel chapter 3 and you’ve got <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:57,200
\nthe fiery.
\nFurnace, a well-known story and <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:57,200 –> 00:16:59,500
\nyou’ve got Nebuchadnezzar and he
\nsees doesn T. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:01,500
\nHe’s got handed.
\nHi I’m Michelle and Azariah <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:01,500 –> 00:17:06,700
\nthere in the fire and he notices
\nan unidentified Fourth Man. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:08,000 –> 00:17:10,700
\nSo Daniel 3 then and verse 25
\nand the reason we going there, <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:10,700 –> 00:17:16,200
\njust notice the similarity in
\nthe language So these are the <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:16,200 –> 00:17:18,000
\nwords of King, Nebuchadnezzar
\nlow. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:18,000 –> 00:17:22,099
\nHe says, in verse 25, I see four
\nmen loose walking in the midst <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:22,099 –> 00:17:24,000
\nof the fire and they have no
\nhurt. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:27,599
\nAnd the form of the fourth is
\nlike, the Son of God, that’s the<\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:27,599 –> 00:17:28,700
\npoint.
\nI want to make. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:17:29,400 –> 00:17:31,900
\nSo the one in the fiery furnace
\nis one like the Son of God. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:31,900 –> 00:17:34,700
\nAnd here, the one in heaven is
\none like the son of man. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:35,100 –> 00:17:37,700
\nSo there’s a beautiful contrast
\nthat’s being made here, <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:37,800 –> 00:17:41,200
\nhananiah, mishael and Azariah
\nthere in the fiery furnace and <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:43,700
\nNebuchadnezzar sees the
\nappearance of a man. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:47,800
\nAnd this man is Entirely Divine,
\nhe’s an angel. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:54,900
\nBut Daniel having this Vision in
\nheaven, he sees the appearance <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:55,000 –> 00:18:00,200
\nof a man also that this man is
\naltogether. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:08,200
\nHuman and this son of man here
\nin verse 13, really resonates <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:08,200 –> 00:18:12,800
\nhere in this chapter, if we look
\nat this theme in a concordance, <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:19,800
\nthe son of man that the Hebrew
\nthere is Ben, Adam Ben Adam. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:20,100 –> 00:18:23,900
\nAnd in the very name it’s taking
\nus all the way back to Adam, the<\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:23,900 –> 00:18:28,900
\nfirst born of God.
\nAnd so it’s telling us right <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:30,800
\naway that this son of, man, the
\nbed. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:30,800 –> 00:18:34,100
\nAdam is a representative of
\nmankind. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:34,300 –> 00:18:39,400
\nHe is of the line of Adam.
\nHe Bears, our nature. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:45,000
\nA human nature tempted in all
\npoints as we are yet, as we know<\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:45,300 –> 00:18:48,300
\nwithout sin.
\nSo, this is the one we’re <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:48,300 –> 00:18:50,900
\nlooking at and it’s really
\nimportant to kind of fuse those <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:50,900 –> 00:18:53,800
\nthoughts in our minds, as we
\nlook at this one in heaven. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:53,800 –> 00:18:57,200
\nThis glorious man, but he’s a
\nson of man. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:00,000 –> 00:19:03,200
\nIf you think about the Southern
\nand I wonder what kind of things<\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:07,000
\npop into your head.
\nIt’s a wonderful thing. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:08,800
\nWhat I want to do I just want to
\nillustrate this at. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:08,800 –> 00:19:11,300
\nWant to look at Mark’s gospel.
\nYou’ll now I’m sure that Mark’s <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:11,300 –> 00:19:15,400
\ngospel is a gospel that really
\nemphasize the the servitude of <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:18,000
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ as a
\nservant of God. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:18,400 –> 00:19:22,200
\nAnd I just want to look at the
\nattributes and the <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:25,000
\ncharacteristics of the son of
\nman just in Mark’s gospel. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:27,500
\nWe don’t need to turn them.
\nI just look at the phrases on <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:27,500 –> 00:19:30,800
\nthe screen and what you need to
\nremember as we go through these <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:30,800 –> 00:19:34,600
\nverses, is that all these
\nqualities are sealed up their <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:38,300
\nbound up in this?
\nMan who stands in the presence <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:38,300 –> 00:19:41,600
\nof God in heaven and it’s
\nbecause of these qualities. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:48,500
\nHe’s there. so, the son of man
\nin Mark, 2 and verse 10 hath <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:48,500 –> 00:19:54,300
\npower on Earth to forgive sins,
\nthe son of man must suffer, many<\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:57,100
\nthings and be rejected at the
\nElders of the chief priests and <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:57,100 –> 00:20:00,100
\nscribes and be killed and after
\nthree days. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:00,100 –> 00:20:05,800
\nRise again, that’s, that’s Mark
\n8, verse 31 The son of man came <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:08,800
\nnot to be ministered unto but to
\nminister and to give his life a <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:11,400
\nransom for many years.
\nSomething we’d all understand <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:11,400 –> 00:20:15,400
\nthat more 10 verse 45, that the
\nson of man is coming in the <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:16,900
\nclouds with power and great
\nGlory. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:16,900 –> 00:20:18,500
\nThat’s what we’re talking about
\nthis weekend. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:18,500 –> 00:20:24,000
\nThat’s Mark 13 verse 26.
\nAnd then finally, the son of man<\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:30,500
\nis sitting, we’re now seeing him
\nstanding Mark, says he goes <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:30,500 –> 00:20:33,600
\nbeyond that point.
\nHe sits at the right hand of <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:33,600 –> 00:20:37,100
\npower and he’s going to come in
\nthe Clouds Of Heaven. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:37,100 –> 00:20:40,900
\nMark, 13, verse 26, Mark, 14 and
\nverse 62. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:40,900 –> 00:20:44,300
\nSo what we have here is an
\nextraordinary man, a wonderful <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:44,300 –> 00:20:48,600
\nman, a beautiful man, a great
\nman, a powerful man and brothers<\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:55,300
\nour sisters in young people, a
\nMan Who Loved A man who died for<\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:55,300 –> 00:21:01,000
\nus yet without sin.
\nA man who was slain from the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:01,000 –> 00:21:07,500
\nfoundation of the world and his
\nlove was so great that he <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:07,500 –> 00:21:14,100
\nreceives now, honor and praise
\nand acclimation from God in <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:15,200
\nheaven.
\nThat’s the picture. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:16,900
\nThat’s being painted brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:16,900 –> 00:21:19,500
\nWe have to be moved by that.
\nIt’s amazing. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:20,300 –> 00:21:26,100
\nIt’s amazing that this meeting
\ntruly took place. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:30,600 –> 00:21:33,500
\nI want to think a little more
\nabout the role of the son of man<\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:33,500 –> 00:21:36,800
\nbecause we could think about
\nJesus here standing alone and he<\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:40,500
\nwas in a certain sense, he was
\nstanding alone but there’s <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:40,500 –> 00:21:43,600
\nsomething else that’s going on.
\nAnd to highlight that, let’s <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:43,600 –> 00:21:45,700
\nhave a look at Hebrews chapter
\n2, please. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:54,200 –> 00:21:58,000
\nHebrews chapter 2 and the point
\nI want to make here, is that <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:00,500
\nHebrews chapter 2 quotes from
\npsalm eight and we going to be <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:00,500 –> 00:22:02,900
\nlooking at Psalm 8 a few times
\nduring the weekend. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:06,700
\nIt’s a real launching pad in
\nthinking about the son of man. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:06,700 –> 00:22:11,100
\nSo Hebrews 2 the Apostle here
\nquotes from Psalm a let’s just <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:11,100 –> 00:22:13,300
\npick up.
\nThen in verse 6 and you’ll get a<\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:13,300 –> 00:22:15,000
\nsense right away, why we’ve gone
\nhere? <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:16,600 –> 00:22:21,500
\nHebrews 2 Verse 6, but one in a
\ncertain place testified saying <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:22,100 –> 00:22:24,900
\nwhat is man that thou art
\nmindful of him or the son of <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:27,900
\nman.
\nNotice that thou visitest him <\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:29,200 –> 00:22:33,300
\nAnd think about Jesus in heaven.
\nNow in Daniel chapter 7 and look<\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:36,500
\nwhat the Apostle writes, thou
\nmadest him a little lower than <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:36,500 –> 00:22:38,500
\nthe Angels.
\nOur Crown has him with glory and<\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:38,500 –> 00:22:41,000
\nhonor and did set him over.
\nThe works of thy hands. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:41,000 –> 00:22:43,400
\nThat was put all things in
\nsubjection under his feet. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:47,500
\nFor in that, he put all in
\nsubjection under him, he left <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:47,500 –> 00:22:50,000
\nnothing.
\nThat is not put under him, but <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:53,500
\nnow we see not yet all things
\nput under him, but we see Jesus <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:53,500 –> 00:22:57,400
\nwho was made a little lower than
\nthe angels, for the suffering of<\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:57,400 –> 00:22:59,100
\ndeath.
\nCrowned, with Glory and Honor. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:59,100 –> 00:23:03,100
\nThat he by the grace of God,
\nshould taste death for every <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:03,100 –> 00:23:04,900
\nman.
\nAnd this is the, this is the <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:04,900 –> 00:23:07,600
\nthat the kind of the climax here
\nfor it. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:07,600 –> 00:23:10,800
\nBecame him for whom are all
\nthings and by whom are all <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:10,800 –> 00:23:14,800
\nthings in bringing many sons
\nunto Glory. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:14,800 –> 00:23:19,500
\nAt least underlying those words
\nin your mind, many sons unto <\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:19,500 –> 00:23:21,700
\nglory to make the captain of
\ntheir salvation. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:21,700 –> 00:23:27,500
\nPerfect through sufferings.
\nSo if I were to ask you, what is<\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:27,500 –> 00:23:29,700
\nthe purpose?
\nWhat is the All of the son of <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:31,200
\nman.
\nYou’ve got the answer here in <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:31,200 –> 00:23:35,000
\nHebrews 2 verse 10 that it was
\nnot for Jesus alone. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:36,800
\nHe’s purpose in the role of the
\nson. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:36,800 –> 00:23:40,900
\nOf man was to bring many sons
\nand daughters unto Glory. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:40,900 –> 00:23:45,100
\nWe need to really remember that
\nthe role of the son of man was <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:45,100 –> 00:23:48,400
\nto bring many sons and daughters
\nunto glory. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:48,600 –> 00:23:53,100
\nAnd so then in a way that the
\nson of man becomes the sons of <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:53,100 –> 00:23:57,500
\nmen, doesn’t it that this man,
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ represents<\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:57,500 –> 00:24:00,400
\nour host.
\nWho’s the host? <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:01,900 –> 00:24:06,500
\nThe host of Adam.
\nHe’s the Ben Adam and he’s going<\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:11,500
\nto redeem our host and he’s
\ngoing to change them and they’re<\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:11,500 –> 00:24:14,600
\ngoing to become Sons and
\nDaughters unto Glory. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:17,800
\nThe one will become a multitude
\nthat the singularity will become<\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:21,700
\nthe multitudinously.
\nWe know this language And here <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:21,700 –> 00:24:25,000
\nwe have it.
\nBrothers and sisters, and this <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:25,200 –> 00:24:28,400
\nall happened.
\nThen the son of man or happened <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:28,500 –> 00:24:32,400
\nfor you.
\nAnd for me, there he is standing<\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:33,300 –> 00:24:39,900
\nas a representative for a hidden
\nmultitude, for men, past <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:39,900 –> 00:24:43,700
\npresent, and future, and he’s
\ngoing to redeem all of them. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:24:46,400 –> 00:24:48,700
\nBy God’s grace brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:24:48,700 –> 00:24:53,200
\nThis is amazing what he did.
\nAmazing what he did. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:24:54,900 –> 00:24:56,700
\nIs that a few other little
\ndetails? <\/p>\n
382
\n00:24:56,700 –> 00:25:00,200
\nI want to highlight here.
\nI’m sure we’ve all got our <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:00,200 –> 00:25:03,400
\nthoughts about the captain of
\ntheir salvation there, in verse <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:05,600
\n10.
\nBut what I want to just draw <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:05,608 –> 00:25:07,700
\nyour attention to is is Vines
\ndictionary. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:07,700 –> 00:25:10,800
\nIt’s a good dictionary.
\nI think you can buy from the <\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:14,100
\nchristadelphians office.
\nIt’s a good dictionary and the <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:14,100 –> 00:25:17,400
\ntranslation there on the captain
\nis one who goes. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:17,400 –> 00:25:21,300
\nFirst, I want you to think about
\nthat one who goes first, just <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:21,300 –> 00:25:25,300
\nreflect upon that for a moment.
\nWhat went first? <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:25,600 –> 00:25:32,600
\nWhere did we start today?
\nThe ark went first 2,000 cubits <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:32,900 –> 00:25:36,100
\nearly.
\nWhat else went first? <\/p>\n
393
\n00:25:36,400 –> 00:25:38,300
\nWell the Lord Jesus Christ
\nascended from the Mount of <\/p>\n
394
\n00:25:38,300 –> 00:25:44,600
\nOlives, 2,000 years later to
\nwhen he’s going to return to <\/p>\n
395
\n00:25:44,600 –> 00:25:49,600
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd here we have the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
396
\n00:25:49,600 –> 00:25:53,800
\nChrist going first.
\nBeing the firstfruits of them <\/p>\n
397
\n00:25:53,800 –> 00:25:59,100
\nthat slept and a harvest Sons
\nand Daughters would be brought <\/p>\n
398
\n00:25:59,100 –> 00:26:03,100
\nto Glory would follow.
\nCan you see that this idea of <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:03,100 –> 00:26:05,900
\nthe first?
\nAnd that’s what he’s doing, is <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:08,900
\nushering in a multitude.
\nSo in other words and this is <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:08,900 –> 00:26:11,500
\nall about us brothers and
\nsisters young people, this is <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:13,600
\nall about us and it’s consistent
\nlanguage. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:13,600 –> 00:26:16,600
\nTo Daniel said, let’s go back to
\nDaniel chapter 7 and you can see<\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:16,600 –> 00:26:20,700
\nthis That the vision is so
\nencompassing that we see here, <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:20,700 –> 00:26:22,800
\nthe many sons and daughters
\nbeing brought to Glory. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:32,000
\nLook at Verse 18 of Daniel
\nchapter 7, But the Saints of the<\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:32,000 –> 00:26:37,000
\nmost high shall take the kingdom
\nand possess the kingdom forever <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:37,400 –> 00:26:41,900
\neven forever and ever, they’re
\nnot the sons and daughters <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:45,500
\nbrought to Glory.
\nThat the writer of the Hebrews <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:45,500 –> 00:26:48,100
\ntalks about that the Saints, but
\nthat the same things that the <\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:48,100 –> 00:26:51,900
\nglorified ones, these are the
\nsons and daughters to Glory but <\/p>\n
412
\n00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:54,000
\nwho are these Saints?
\nThink about it. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:57,100
\nWell, when we look at that that
\nthat don’t just read and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:26:57,100 –> 00:27:01,600
\naccepted who are these Saints?
\nThese are the men and women who <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:01,600 –> 00:27:06,400
\nhave been terrorized tormented
\nand in many cases killed by The <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:06,400 –> 00:27:08,600
\nLion and the bear and the
\nleopard. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:08,700 –> 00:27:11,900
\nAnd as Jesus stood in heaven,
\nwhat was prevailing at the time,<\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:11,900 –> 00:27:15,700
\nthe menacing fourth Beast, the
\nRoman beast and think about the <\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:15,700 –> 00:27:23,200
\nChristians under Nero that died.
\nAnd so Jesus, as he stood there <\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:29,900
\nin heaven, he thought about all
\nthese past present and future <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:30,400 –> 00:27:33,100
\nand they were all bound up with
\nhim. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:33,100 –> 00:27:36,800
\nThese are the sons and daughters
\nto Glory of Hebrews chapter 2. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:38,600 –> 00:27:40,600
\nAnd it’s so dramatic.
\nIt’s so beautiful. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:43,700
\nI just want to try and
\nillustrate this. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:48,300
\nThat the son of man now reaches
\nheaven. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:50,200 –> 00:27:55,200
\nI’ve sat in his throne room.
\nIs the Almighty. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:27:56,400 –> 00:28:02,600
\nAnd he’s described here as the
\nAncient of Days. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:02,600 –> 00:28:05,900
\nI want you to look at verse 14
\nof Daniel chapter 7. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:07,700 –> 00:28:11,200
\nAnd there was given him dominion
\nand glory and a kingdom that all<\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:11,200 –> 00:28:13,600
\npeople Nations and languages
\nshould serve him. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:13,600 –> 00:28:16,900
\nHis Dominion is an everlasting
\nDominion which shall not pass <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:16,900 –> 00:28:21,100
\naway and his kingdom that will
\nnot be destroyed. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:21,300 –> 00:28:24,300
\nAnd so picturing here is that
\nthe son of man and he comes now <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:24,300 –> 00:28:26,500
\nto the Ancient of Days and
\nsomething is going to be <\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:26,500 –> 00:28:29,700
\ntransferred from the Ancient of
\nDays to the son of man. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:28:29,700 –> 00:28:33,000
\nAnd what is it?
\nIt’s a little phrase here and <\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:33,000 –> 00:28:35,500
\nit’s something we should just
\nOverlook look at it. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:35,600 –> 00:28:38,700
\nIt says their Dominion.
\nGlory and a kingdom. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:38,700 –> 00:28:40,800
\nWe’re going to come across that
\nphrase repeatedly through this <\/p>\n
440
\n00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:43,400
\nweekend to try and plant that in
\nyour head Dominion. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:45,700
\nGlory and a kingdom.
\nIt’s a triplet. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:28:46,300 –> 00:28:48,600
\nAs you can see on the screen
\nit’s a triplet that runs all the<\/p>\n
443
\n00:28:48,608 –> 00:28:52,000
\nway through the Book of Daniel
\nand in every reference that <\/p>\n
444
\n00:28:52,000 –> 00:28:55,200
\nwe’ve got on the screen at least
\ntwo of the Dominion glory and <\/p>\n
445
\n00:28:55,200 –> 00:28:57,700
\nkingdom are mentioned in those
\nverses. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:28:58,200 –> 00:29:00,600
\nAnd so a rhetorical questions
\nbeing asked is the reader reads <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:04,200
\nthe Book of Daniel and it’s like
\nwho is going to have dominion <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:04,300 –> 00:29:06,000
\nglory and kingdom?
\nIs it going to be the kingdom <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:06,000 –> 00:29:07,200
\nman?
\nOr is it going to be the king? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:07,300 –> 00:29:10,000
\nOf God and here in Daniel
\nchapter 7, a resounding answer <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:10,000 –> 00:29:13,100
\nGoes Forth.
\nThe kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:15,300 –> 00:29:18,400
\nThe kingdom of God.
\nThrough the Lord, Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:18,400 –> 00:29:23,300
\nthat’s how dramatic it is.
\nAnd it’s handed over to the Lord<\/p>\n
454
\n00:29:23,400 –> 00:29:32,800
\nJesus Christ.
\nAnd just notice here carefully <\/p>\n
455
\n00:29:32,900 –> 00:29:37,800
\nhow this Authority is granted.
\nYou can look at verse 13. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:29:38,200 –> 00:29:40,400
\nIt’s kind of an exercise of
\nfilling in the gaps. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:29:40,900 –> 00:29:44,000
\nDaniel 7 verse 13.
\nIt says they and the word. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:29:44,000 –> 00:29:46,300
\nThey there is referring to the
\nclouds. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:29:47,200 –> 00:29:50,300
\nThe clouds brought him.
\nWho the son? <\/p>\n
460
\n00:29:50,300 –> 00:29:56,700
\nOf man near before him who The
\nAncient of Days. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:29:57,500 –> 00:30:02,600
\nSo the clouds, brought the son
\nof man near the Ancient of Days <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:02,600 –> 00:30:06,500
\nand you can see in verse 13,
\nthat it was the clouds that took<\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:06,800 –> 00:30:11,400
\nthe son of man to the Ancient of
\nDays. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:12,400 –> 00:30:15,700
\nAnd look at the phrase that use
\ntheir brought him near before <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:15,700 –> 00:30:17,200
\nhim.
\nYou might have other <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:17,200 –> 00:30:19,900
\ntranslations, they could go
\nsomething like this, he was led <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:19,900 –> 00:30:22,900
\ninto his presence or he was
\nescorting. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:23,100 –> 00:30:24,800
\nJust think about that that the
\ncloud. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:27,800
\nHere were leading and a scoring,
\nbut natural clouds. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:30:27,800 –> 00:30:30,000
\nDon’t do that.
\nDo they let they don’t welcome <\/p>\n
471
\n00:30:30,000 –> 00:30:32,200
\nsomeone in Acts chapter 1 and
\nthey certainly don’t ask or <\/p>\n
472
\n00:30:32,200 –> 00:30:37,600
\nsomeone who sat upon the throne
\nthis is talking about something <\/p>\n
473
\n00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:41,100
\nelse, isn’t it?
\nThis is the cloud of angels, <\/p>\n
474
\n00:30:41,500 –> 00:30:43,900
\nit’s the very same, kind of
\nangels, that took Jesus up into <\/p>\n
475
\n00:30:43,900 –> 00:30:47,600
\nheaven.
\nIn Acts chapter 1, And it’s <\/p>\n
476
\n00:30:47,600 –> 00:30:51,100
\nbreathtaking.
\nIt is so moving, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
477
\n00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:55,600
\nBut what’s missing in all of
\nthis Teeter? <\/p>\n
478
\n00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:02,500
\nYou would imagine with this
\nbuild up that we’d have a lovely<\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:02,800 –> 00:31:06,600
\nseeing that’s described for us.
\nIf what almighty God said to his<\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:06,600 –> 00:31:08,000
\nson?
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ, but <\/p>\n
481
\n00:31:08,000 –> 00:31:11,700
\nnothing why it was a private
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:31:12,800 –> 00:31:15,300
\nIt was an intimate moment
\nbetween the Father and Son. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:31:15,300 –> 00:31:17,500
\nCast your minds back to the
\nresurrection morning. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:31:19,100 –> 00:31:21,600
\nWhat was said between the father
\nand son, we can only allude to <\/p>\n
485
\n00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:23,400
\nfrom the on the Psalms can’t
\nlie. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:31:24,900 –> 00:31:27,400
\nIt was between the father and
\nson and them alone, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
487
\n00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:31,600
\nLovely.
\nAnd what a moment, it was. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:31:33,800 –> 00:31:37,200
\nBut why is it?
\nThat. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:31:38,400 –> 00:31:44,600
\nThe Angels, a host of angels
\ntook the Lord Jesus Christ into <\/p>\n
490
\n00:31:44,600 –> 00:31:46,800
\nheaven just just ask yourselves
\nthat question. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:31:46,800 –> 00:31:49,900
\nWhy didn’t the Lord Jesus Christ
\nascend on his own? <\/p>\n
492
\n00:31:49,900 –> 00:31:52,100
\nWhy did it need a host of
\nangels? <\/p>\n
493
\n00:31:54,400 –> 00:31:57,000
\nWell, these angels live in the
\npresence of God, don’t they? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:31:57,900 –> 00:32:00,900
\nThey live in heaven and just as
\nJacob’s Ladder describes them <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:01,000 –> 00:32:06,300
\nascending and descending.
\nSo do these angel. and Jesus <\/p>\n
496
\n00:32:06,300 –> 00:32:10,700
\nnever been to Heaven before had
\nhe He didn’t know the ruins. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:32:13,100 –> 00:32:19,400
\nAnd so the gypsies Angels, they
\ncelebrated the fact that wanted <\/p>\n
498
\n00:32:19,400 –> 00:32:24,200
\novercome and for the first time
\never they were taking someone <\/p>\n
499
\n00:32:24,200 –> 00:32:27,200
\nhome with them.
\nThey were taking the Lord. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:32:27,200 –> 00:32:31,600
\nJesus Christ.
\nGod’s only begotten son and they<\/p>\n
501
\n00:32:31,600 –> 00:32:34,500
\ncould not be happier.
\nCould though. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:32:36,300 –> 00:32:38,100
\nI want to have a look at Psalm
\n104. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:32:38,100 –> 00:32:40,000
\nLet’s have a quick look at Psalm
\n104. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:32:40,900 –> 00:32:43,600
\nIt’s going to be our last
\nreference here. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:32:54,400 –> 00:32:56,800
\nAnd the reason why we’re going
\nhere is that this style I <\/p>\n
506
\n00:32:56,808 –> 00:32:59,300
\nbelieve Builds on the picture of
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:32:59,900 –> 00:33:04,300
\nGoing in clouds to his Heavenly
\nFather picture of Acts chapter <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:04,300 –> 00:33:05,600
\n1.
\nA picture of Daniel chapter 7 <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:05,600 –> 00:33:07,200
\nlet’s just see what we find
\nhere. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:07,600 –> 00:33:09,500
\nJust going to read the words
\ncarefully. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:33:10,100 –> 00:33:13,300
\nIt’s lovely poetic language
\nthat’s expressed in the psalm <\/p>\n
512
\n00:33:13,300 –> 00:33:15,800
\nPsalm 104.
\nThen in verse 1 bless the Lord O<\/p>\n
513
\n00:33:15,800 –> 00:33:19,200
\nmy God.
\nOh my soul O Lord my God Thou <\/p>\n
514
\n00:33:19,200 –> 00:33:21,800
\nArt, very great.
\nThou are clothed with honor and <\/p>\n
515
\n00:33:21,800 –> 00:33:25,700
\nMajesty who covers thyself with
\nlight as with a garment who <\/p>\n
516
\n00:33:25,700 –> 00:33:29,700
\nstretches out the heavens like a
\ncurtain who latest the beams of <\/p>\n
517
\n00:33:29,700 –> 00:33:31,900
\nhis Chambers.
\nIn the waters, who make us the <\/p>\n
518
\n00:33:31,900 –> 00:33:36,000
\nclouds, his cherish who walketh
\nupon the wings of the Wind. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:33:37,000 –> 00:33:42,600
\nWho maketh his angels Spirits.
\nHis ministers, a flaming fire. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:33:43,800 –> 00:33:45,600
\nLovely.
\nWords, are they look at verse 3,<\/p>\n
521
\n00:33:45,600 –> 00:33:53,000
\nthe clouds there they are
\nassociated with God’s chariots. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:33:54,300 –> 00:33:57,700
\nAnd so Jesus was brought to
\nheaven in God’s Own per store <\/p>\n
523
\n00:33:57,700 –> 00:34:00,400
\nChariot.
\nJesus, traveled in God’s special<\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:00,400 –> 00:34:04,900
\nvehicle with God’s angels and
\nlook at verse 4 who maketh his <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:04,900 –> 00:34:10,400
\nangels spirits, You may have
\nsomething slightly different in <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:12,199
\nyour Bible.
\nThe revised version margin, <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:12,199 –> 00:34:15,699
\ncertainly says these words he’s
\nAngel winds. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:16,300 –> 00:34:20,699
\nSo in other words, saying God
\nmade the Angels like wind Mighty<\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:20,699 –> 00:34:27,300
\nand Swift and invisible in doing
\nGod’s work and fulfilling God’s <\/p>\n
530
\n00:34:28,100 –> 00:34:33,699
\npurpose.
\nSo, we then have the clouds as <\/p>\n
531
\n00:34:33,699 –> 00:34:40,000
\nGod’s chariots.
\nThe angels as his wind and we <\/p>\n
532
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:45,300
\nhave the figure of angels
\npowering the cloud Chariot of <\/p>\n
533
\n00:34:45,300 –> 00:34:48,500
\nGod, which is exactly what we
\nsee in. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:34:48,500 –> 00:34:55,199
\nDaniel chapter 7, Like a turbine
\ndriving the Cheerios. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:34:55,500 –> 00:34:59,100
\nThe cloud Chariot to Heaven.
\nBrothers and sisters, isn’t that<\/p>\n
536
\n00:34:59,100 –> 00:35:03,000
\njust lovely?
\nSo moving, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:06,500 –> 00:35:10,200
\nSo, can you imagine?
\nSuch a moment. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:12,200 –> 00:35:15,600
\nThe Father and Son, laying Eyes,
\nUpon each other, in the flesh, <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:15,600 –> 00:35:21,200
\nfor the first time.
\nNo father has ever loved a son <\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:21,200 –> 00:35:27,500
\nlike God loved his.
\nAnd no son has earned the love <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:28,300 –> 00:35:33,200
\nand the respect of a father,
\nlike the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:33,200 –> 00:35:38,700
\nAnd now in this eternal State
\nthey stand there in the <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:38,700 –> 00:35:44,300
\ncourtroom led by a great host of
\nangels. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:47,500
\nThis is utterly amazing, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
545
\n00:35:48,800 –> 00:35:51,700
\nAnd just cast your eyes around
\nthat room and you can see a host<\/p>\n
546
\n00:35:51,700 –> 00:35:54,300
\nof angels and they’re all,
\nthey’re all smiling, aren’t <\/p>\n
547
\n00:35:54,300 –> 00:35:57,300
\nthey?
\nThey are all savoring the <\/p>\n
548
\n00:35:57,300 –> 00:35:59,600
\nmoment.
\nThis is a moment that they have <\/p>\n
549
\n00:35:59,600 –> 00:36:07,000
\nwaited for Fraternity.
\nAnd now it has arrived and the <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:07,000 –> 00:36:12,400
\nroom is filled with with
\nexcitement of what is about to <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:12,400 –> 00:36:17,300
\ntake place.
\nAnd as the Angels now, present <\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:17,300 –> 00:36:23,900
\nthe Lord, Jesus Christ.
\nAlmighty God, Did Jesus bow in <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:23,900 –> 00:36:27,300
\nreverence of the sovereignty of
\nthe one who sat upon the throne.<\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:28,800 –> 00:36:33,500
\nAnd then did he rush over and
\nembrace his father as a father <\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:33,500 –> 00:36:40,800
\nand son?
\nOr was it that as soon as Jesus <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:40,800 –> 00:36:46,600
\nwas presented by the Angels?
\nThe father got up from his <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:46,600 –> 00:36:50,000
\nthrone.
\nAnd race to his son. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:52,500 –> 00:36:55,300
\nFor many of us, we have families
\nthis weekend and this is an <\/p>\n
559
\n00:36:55,300 –> 00:36:57,800
\nemotional moment between the
\nfather and son. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:36:59,900 –> 00:37:04,500
\nAnd it would have moved effort.
\nand brothers and sisters in <\/p>\n
561
\n00:37:04,500 –> 00:37:07,100
\nyoung people, if there is
\nrejoicing in heaven, over one <\/p>\n
562
\n00:37:07,100 –> 00:37:11,500
\nsinner that repents What kind of
\nrejoicing took place? <\/p>\n
563
\n00:37:11,500 –> 00:37:14,600
\nThis day?
\nIt must have been wild <\/p>\n
564
\n00:37:14,600 –> 00:37:19,400
\ncelebration as the Angels
\napplauded after the private <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:21,900
\nmoment between the father and
\nson. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:23,000 –> 00:37:28,000
\nBut what are they celebrating?
\nThey weren’t merely celebrating.<\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:28,000 –> 00:37:30,000
\nWhat had been done?
\nWhat had been achieved? <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:35,700
\nWhat had been accomplished?
\nThey rejoiced. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:36,700 –> 00:37:42,100
\nIn a sure future.
\nBecause this son of man would <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:42,100 –> 00:37:51,200
\nbecome a multitude of men and
\nwomen redeem from atoms line and<\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:51,200 –> 00:37:54,700
\nthey rejoiced in that knowledge.
\nAs soon as it happened, the <\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:54,700 –> 00:37:58,500
\nkingdom of God was guaranteed,
\nit was a surety Jesus Christ, <\/p>\n
573
\n00:37:58,500 –> 00:38:02,500

583
