Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 202<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:06,600 –> 00:00:09,600
\nWestern christadelphians Bible
\nschool at Minooka. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:10,400 –> 00:00:13,900
\nThis is the second class in a
\nseries given by brother, Matthew<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:18,000
\nblew it on the subject.
\nMeditations in Revelation. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:22,600
\nThis class is titled applying
\nthe approach. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:27,800 –> 00:00:30,200
\nWelcome back to the graveyard
\nsession. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:30,500 –> 00:00:35,200
\nI hope you all had sustained
\nwith some caffeine or some tea, <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:35,200 –> 00:00:36,700
\nor whatever.
\nIt is that you need to keep you <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:36,700 –> 00:00:38,900
\ngoing.
\nJust a few more minutes and then<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:38,900 –> 00:00:43,000
\nyou’ve got the whole afternoon
\nas you said to enjoy your <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:45,100 –> 00:00:48,100
\nSustained by the example of our
\nsubject of what an encouraging <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:48,100 –> 00:00:52,300
\nword from my brother John.
\nSo, we’re going to continue just<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:52,300 –> 00:00:55,100
\nto remind you a little about the
\nmeditation approach that, that I<\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:55,100 –> 00:00:57,900
\nwas suggesting, we’re going to
\nspend a bit of time today, just <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:57,900 –> 00:01:01,100
\nlooking at some of the
\ntechniques, which I guess many <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:01,100 –> 00:01:04,300
\nof you are familiar with that.
\nI’ve tried to employee in my <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:04,300 –> 00:01:07,100
\nmeditations and when they become
\na bit more, from a study point <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:07,100 –> 00:01:09,600
\nof view, the approach that I
\nthink is supported in scripture <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:12,500
\nand then we’re going to go and
\napply it and give you some <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:12,500 –> 00:01:17,100
\nexamples of Of some of the
\napplying the approach in some of<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:17,107 –> 00:01:19,600
\nthe meditations that I’ve had
\nbeen able to enjoy. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:19,900 –> 00:01:22,300
\nSo I’m just going to run very
\nquickly that some of these <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:22,300 –> 00:01:26,000
\nslides we’ve seen already.
\nSo I will just run through them.<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:26,400 –> 00:01:29,800
\nThose are the five steps that we
\nwere going through yesterday <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:33,900
\nfocus.
\nAnd then this idea of looking at<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:33,900 –> 00:01:38,700
\nthe overall passage first.
\nAnd then of course, remembering <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:40,900
\nthinking about Echoes.
\nAnd we’ll look at some of that <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:40,900 –> 00:01:44,300
\nin a bit more detail bringing us
\nto worship and Obviously looking<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:44,300 –> 00:01:47,600
\nat ways in which we can apply
\nwhat we’ve learnt and gaining <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:47,600 –> 00:01:50,900
\nfrom it, this spiritual truth,
\nthe principles that the Lord <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:50,900 –> 00:01:54,500
\nJesus Christ is intending to
\nshare with us in this amazing <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:54,500 –> 00:01:58,900
\nlove letter.
\nSo in this military action <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:58,900 –> 00:02:01,100
\napproach, as I’ve already
\nsuggested what I found really <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:01,100 –> 00:02:04,500
\nimportant is this idea of taking
\nour time. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:05,400 –> 00:02:08,400
\nAnd there was already allusions
\nto the fact that we live in a <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:12,800
\nworld that’s full of lots of
\nthings, but there’s not enough <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:12,800 –> 00:02:15,100
\ndepth happening.
\nAnd I think when we give <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:15,100 –> 00:02:19,100
\nourselves Tom, that is very
\nimportant and so one of the key <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:19,100 –> 00:02:22,500
\nprinciples that are found is
\ntaking a little bit less and <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:22,500 –> 00:02:25,000
\nreally giving it a whole bunch
\nof time. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:28,900
\nI’ve already spoken about when I
\nthink about a passage in the <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:28,908 –> 00:02:32,800
\nBook of Revelation, my intent is
\nnot to and I’ve been told saying<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:35,200
\nnot tick the boxes but check the
\nboxes. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:38,600
\nSo that’s what I mean by that.
\nDon’t just be trying to check <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:38,600 –> 00:02:43,100
\nthe boxes, trying to work out
\nwhat every symbol represents. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:43,700 –> 00:02:47,400
\nSometimes we get more caught up
\nin that then getting to <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:47,400 –> 00:02:51,600
\nunderstand the why?
\nAnd the real application and the<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:51,600 –> 00:02:54,600
\nprinciple behind the passage,
\nI’m sorry. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:56,500
\nYes.
\nMy template changed to Red on <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:56,500 –> 00:02:58,700
\nblack and I’ve already worked
\nout that that is not good. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:01,300
\nSo I’m going to go back to white
\non black, but we’ll have to hope<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:01,300 –> 00:03:03,600
\nto do with the last time.
\nYou can see some of the writing <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:04,800 –> 00:03:07,500
\nin doing that.
\nObviously, this principle that <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:07,500 –> 00:03:10,900
\nthat I’ve emphasized and will
\ncontinue to emphasize is the <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:10,900 –> 00:03:14,500
\nstrong principle that when we’re
\ntrying to Understand these <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:14,500 –> 00:03:18,600
\nsymbols, the best place to go is
\nspiritual with spiritual. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:20,700
\nYou know, the idea of symbols
\nand images. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:20,700 –> 00:03:23,700
\nI’ve really said, is exciting.
\nIt allows us to look at these <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,700
\nthese messages from a number of
\nangles, this multi-dimensional <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:27,700 –> 00:03:30,600
\napproach.
\nAnd the risk of it obviously is <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:31,100 –> 00:03:33,800
\nis also that because we’re
\nreading about symbols and <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:36,700
\nimages, we can bring a lot of
\nour own understanding and no <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:36,700 –> 00:03:39,900
\ndoubt when the Bible or
\nRevelation uses a symbol like <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:39,900 –> 00:03:43,500
\nlamb, it wants us to think about
\nthe natural qualities of a lamb.<\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:43,700 –> 00:03:48,100
\nAnd that it’s obviously often a
\ngentle creature, that it follows<\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:50,400
\nthe shepherd, and it follows the
\nSheep. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:50,400 –> 00:03:53,200
\nYes, those issue.
\nThose thoughts should come in, <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:57,000
\nbut a lot of what I believe
\nwe’re taught to think about is <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:57,000 –> 00:03:59,500
\nwhat and how those symbols those
\nimages. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:59,500 –> 00:04:02,700
\nThose ideas, those words have
\nbeen used in remembering the <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:02,700 –> 00:04:05,700
\nrest of scripture and we’ll see
\nin some of the techniques that I<\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:05,700 –> 00:04:10,300
\nthink Paul and the Lord, Jesus
\nChrist, who really are our. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:10,300 –> 00:04:14,200
\nThe great students were us of
\nthe Old Testament Use these <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:14,200 –> 00:04:19,200
\ntechniques and show us how to
\nactually unravel the meaning of <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:19,200 –> 00:04:21,100
\nthings that we find in the word
\nof God. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:21,399 –> 00:04:24,800
\nSo this is to me, one of the key
\npassages to do that, that <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:24,800 –> 00:04:28,400
\nexplains how we do that.
\nAnd then at the center of any <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,600
\nmeditation of any Bible, study
\nof any passage that we get into <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:34,000
\nin some detail, must always be
\nwhy? <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:34,000 –> 00:04:36,700
\nWhat, why is this passage of any
\nimportance? <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:37,100 –> 00:04:39,400
\nYou know, I think as we get
\nolder, we lose the. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:42,400
\nWhy question?
\nMy kids were really good when <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:42,400 –> 00:04:45,500
\nthey were young and asking why.
\nWhy eventually we got crazy with<\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:45,500 –> 00:04:49,400
\nAdam older or sicker as kid.
\nHe asked why so many times we <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:54,800
\ngave them three for the day and
\nthen he couldn’t ask anymore and<\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:55,100 –> 00:04:57,800
\nyou might be less gracious, a
\nmore gracious as parents. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:01,900
\nBut the reality is what we doing
\nis we squeezing the wires out of<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:01,900 –> 00:05:04,600
\nthem but obviously that’s the
\nmost important question we get <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:04,600 –> 00:05:06,800
\nolder.
\nWe stop asking why because maybe<\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:09,500
\nwe think we worked out
\neverything but every every <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:09,500 –> 00:05:12,900
\npassage of Revelation, every
\npassage of scripture is really <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:12,900 –> 00:05:15,700
\ntrying to bring As to the, why,
\nwhy is it recording for us? <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:17,400
\nWhy do we have the book of
\nHosea? <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:21,200
\nYou know, what is the Y?
\nAnd that’s what I want us to <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:24,400
\nkeep coming back to.
\nAnd then, for those of you heard<\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:28,500
\nme before, you know, I think I
\nplagiarized, well, sort of a <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:28,500 –> 00:05:30,500
\nplagiarism when you take
\nsomething from somebody else, <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:30,500 –> 00:05:33,200
\nbut I remember Peter King.
\nI’m sure some of you may have <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:33,200 –> 00:05:36,400
\nheard of Peter King.
\nHe always said that if you do <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:40,700
\nany Bible study or any Bible
\ntalk, and it doesn’t eventually <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:40,700 –> 00:05:44,300
\nbring you to the feet of Jesus.
\nYou perhaps have Haven’t used <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:44,300 –> 00:05:49,100
\nyour time effectively and so in
\nalmost any meditation, my <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:52,600
\nexpectation is that it’s going
\nto bring me back to Jesus and <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:55,200
\nthe Book of Revelation as we
\nsaid in the beginning in chapter<\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:55,200 –> 00:05:58,800
\n1 verse 1 says, this is the
\nRevelation from Jesus Christ and<\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:03,100
\nthat that genitive use of the
\nGreek also can mean of Jesus <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:05,900
\nChrist.
\nSo he is both the messenger <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:05,900 –> 00:06:09,300
\nwho’s giving us the message but
\nit’s also all about it begins <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:09,300 –> 00:06:11,600
\nwith them right at the
\nbeginning, he’s walking amongst <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:15,700
\nthe lampstands he’s the Symbol
\nof the lamb and many other <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:15,700 –> 00:06:18,500
\nimages of him throughout the
\nbook, and he’s there at the end.<\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:18,500 –> 00:06:22,200
\nAnd the last statement even soul
\nsecond to last statement, even <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:25,100
\nso come Lord Jesus.
\nSo he, he is the central figure.<\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:25,100 –> 00:06:29,100
\nWe should expect to see him in
\neverything that we meditate on <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:29,108 –> 00:06:31,400
\nand, and I hope to be able to
\nshow that as well. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:31,400 –> 00:06:35,700
\nSo what are some of the
\ntechniques that that, that I <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:35,700 –> 00:06:39,100
\nthink are really important?
\nAnd one of the ones that has <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:39,100 –> 00:06:42,200
\nbeen, I guess hugely impactful
\nfor me. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:44,500
\nAnd this is why I keep Keep
\nreferring to this as a <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:44,508 –> 00:06:49,200
\nmeditation approach is the idea
\nof when you read a few verses of<\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:53,200
\nRevelation, focusing on seeing
\nthe picture that has been <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:53,200 –> 00:06:57,400
\ndescribed a large part of what
\nJohn is recording for us in the <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:57,407 –> 00:07:00,900
\nBook of Revelation is visual so
\nhe saw something, he was caught <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:00,900 –> 00:07:04,000
\nup into the spirit.
\nHe sees a picture, sometimes he <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:06,900
\ndoes hear words, he records
\nthose words and then he takes <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:06,900 –> 00:07:10,000
\nthe visual and puts it back into
\nwords because he has to <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:10,000 –> 00:07:11,400
\ncommunicate.
\nIt didn’t have a video at the <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:11,400 –> 00:07:13,100
\ntop so he couldn’t capture it on
\nvideo. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:13,400 –> 00:07:17,100
\nSo He captures those words and
\nthen he presents it back to us <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:18,500
\noften.
\nWhat we do is we just stayed <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:18,500 –> 00:07:21,800
\nback at the words Zone, we read
\nthe words and then we attempt to<\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:25,700
\nstudy it, instead of trying to
\nconvert those words, in our <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:29,800
\nmind, back into a picture.
\nNow that might sound well that, <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:33,500
\nyou know, but it’s very
\nimportant because once we do <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:33,500 –> 00:07:37,000
\nthat, we begin to see and notice
\nthings that we may not have seen<\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:39,300
\njust by reading.
\nAnd I’m going to give you two <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:39,300 –> 00:07:42,300
\nlittle techniques to do that and
\nI think this is really <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:42,300 –> 00:07:44,000
\nimportant.
\nI’m also taught I’m not a <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:46,500
\npsychiatrist and I’m sure would
\nhave people that are more into <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:46,500 –> 00:07:48,100
\nstudying the way in which the
\nbrain works. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:52,400
\nThat when we, for example are
\nreading, and we’re going through<\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:52,400 –> 00:07:56,500
\nthe process of encoding letters
\nand two words, there’s a certain<\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:56,500 –> 00:07:57,900
\npart of our brain that’s
\nactivated. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:57,900 –> 00:08:01,500
\nAnd we enter into certain way of
\nthinking, which is quite <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:01,500 –> 00:08:04,100
\ndifferent to the way of thinking
\nwe may have when we see a <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:07,400
\npicture.
\nSo, there’s a different mindset <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:10,600
\nthat we approach something when
\nwe see it in picture form, and <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:10,600 –> 00:08:14,800
\nit’s also so important for me,
\nthis idea of trying to See that <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:14,800 –> 00:08:19,000
\nthe passages of Revelation that
\nI highly encourage you, if you <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:21,100
\nhave not already done this
\nbecause then you’re already are <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:21,100 –> 00:08:25,000
\ncorrupted not to go on the
\ninternet and find other peoples,<\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:28,400
\npictures of the passages of
\nRevelation because they’ll <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:32,000
\ncorrupt, you give yourself the
\nopportunity to build the picture<\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:35,000
\nfirst in your own mind, that’s
\nthe beauty when we read <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:35,000 –> 00:08:37,600
\nsomething and we create the
\npicture ourselves, that our <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:37,600 –> 00:08:40,100
\npictures will look different.
\nAnd why is that? <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:40,100 –> 00:08:42,100
\nBecause we will notice different
\nthings. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:42,299 –> 00:08:44,900
\nAnd in that is Something special
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:48,000
\nSo if you’ve really done it,
\nmaybe you’ve forgotten and you <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:50,000
\ncan recreate these pictures in
\nyour mind. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:54,000
\nAnd the important principle here
\nis what I call the principle of <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:54,000 –> 00:08:59,300
\ntaking the words off the page.
\nAnd hence my the thing that has <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:59,300 –> 00:09:03,600
\nworked really well for me is to
\ntry to limit the passage are <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:03,600 –> 00:09:07,600
\nmeditating on to one or two or
\nat best maybe three versus. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:10,500
\nNow this isn’t always easy
\nbecause sometimes the picture <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:10,500 –> 00:09:13,700
\nthat’s being described, even if
\nwe want to take the smallest, Of<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:13,700 –> 00:09:18,400
\nit is a bit more than that, but
\nthe point is, if you like me and<\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:18,400 –> 00:09:20,800
\nat some point, I want to read
\nwhat’s being said, and then I <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:23,700
\nwant to put it away so that I’m
\nnot in the reading mode. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:23,700 –> 00:09:25,700
\nI’m in the thinking imagining
\nmode. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:25,900 –> 00:09:29,800
\nWhat if it’s too many verses
\nyou’re going to fall, you’re not<\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:29,800 –> 00:09:32,000
\ngoing to be able to do that.
\nSo some of you may have really <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:34,400
\ngood memories, you can read ten
\nverses, put it away, and <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:38,000
\nremember it, then that’s great.
\nBut the idea of taking a small <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:41,300
\npassage helps us to take it off
\nthe page, the beauty of taking <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:41,300 –> 00:09:45,500
\nscripture off the page means you
\nmeditate, when you drive it or <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:45,500 –> 00:09:47,800
\nup, because it’s impossible.
\nAs far as I found to meditate <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:49,600
\nwhen you’re driving.
\nIf you’re reading those two <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:49,600 –> 00:09:52,600
\nthings don’t go well together.
\nSo this is going to elongate <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:52,600 –> 00:09:55,200
\nyour term of meditating taking
\nit off the page and when I mean <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:58,500
\ntaking off the page, it doesn’t
\nmean you’re trying to learn a <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:58,508 –> 00:10:01,600
\nverse or bahat.
\nYou read a passage three times. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:01,700 –> 00:10:03,700
\nWhat’s going to happen is
\ncertain words are going to stick<\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:03,700 –> 00:10:05,600
\nor certain ideas.
\nI hopeful even pictures in your <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:05,600 –> 00:10:08,400
\nmind so that you can take it off
\nthe page and further work with <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:11,500
\nit.
\nSo, that’s a key principle one <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:11,500 –> 00:10:14,100
\nway of doing this as well.
\nWe all different Is maybe <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:14,100 –> 00:10:17,400
\nchoosing actually not just to
\nimagine the vision, but to draw <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:17,400 –> 00:10:20,300
\nit to take the opportunities,
\nthey let me draw what I think <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:20,300 –> 00:10:23,300
\nI’ve read and again, I encourage
\npeople if you’re going to draw a<\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:23,308 –> 00:10:25,400
\nvision not to do it
\nanalytically, okay? <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:28,200
\nIt says that there are four
\ncreatures that we draw the four <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:30,500
\ncreatures.
\nSo, it says this and then go <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:30,500 –> 00:10:32,700
\nback in that analytical mode.
\nRead it. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:32,700 –> 00:10:35,000
\nRead it two or three times.
\nIf you’re very slow, reader, 10 <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:35,000 –> 00:10:37,800
\nterms, move it away.
\nAnd then from what you’ve <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:41,700
\nremembered trying to recreate
\nthat picture will do a little <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:41,700 –> 00:10:43,300
\nexercise in that and you’ll see
\nher. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:43,500 –> 00:10:45,300
\nAmazing.
\nIs when you start to draw <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:45,300 –> 00:10:48,000
\nsomething that you’ve heard as a
\npicture, you’ll notice that <\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:48,000 –> 00:10:50,300
\ncertain detail, isn’t there.
\nYou can’t actually draw it. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:10:50,400 –> 00:10:52,900
\nYou say, well, it didn’t say
\nwhether it was round or Square, <\/p>\n
203
\n00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:56,000
\nor it doesn’t tell me who’s
\nactually on the threat, is it a <\/p>\n
204
\n00:10:56,008 –> 00:10:56,800
\nman?
\nA lamb? <\/p>\n
205
\n00:10:56,800 –> 00:11:00,100
\nIt says someone.
\nSo, you begin to notice what’s <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:00,100 –> 00:11:02,500
\nmissing.
\nAnd that’s a very important <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:02,500 –> 00:11:04,400
\ntechnique for focus and
\nmeditation. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:05,600 –> 00:11:09,300
\nAs I’m presenting it, very
\nimportant for me, as I’ve <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:09,300 –> 00:11:11,700
\nalready mentioned.
\nIs this idea of Echoes? <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:11,700 –> 00:11:17,500
\nWe’re trying to pick up On
\nideas, themes, symbols and and <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:17,500 –> 00:11:20,100
\nthen to unlock them or
\npotentially gain more from them <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:20,100 –> 00:11:23,000
\nfrom what the rest of the Bible
\nsays, I’m passionate. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:23,300 –> 00:11:26,300
\nI said, I heard you remember
\ncamera and saying, in his first <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:26,300 –> 00:11:29,700
\ntalk I’m going back to Genesis 1
\nand I do that every time. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:29,800 –> 00:11:33,400
\nWell, that’s a good practice
\nbecause to me there’s a great <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:33,500 –> 00:11:35,800
\nespecially with revelation.
\nWe mentioned this in the first <\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:35,800 –> 00:11:37,900
\ntalk.
\nThere’s this this beautiful <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:41,800
\nsometimes parallel, sometimes
\ncontradiction between the first <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:44,900
\nand the last Genesis and
\nrevelation So, so many of the <\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:44,900 –> 00:11:49,500
\nthemes of Revelation are
\nJeannie, as it were have their <\/p>\n
221
\n00:11:49,500 –> 00:11:52,900
\nDNA in the Book of Genesis.
\nSo it’s always exciting to go <\/p>\n
222
\n00:11:52,900 –> 00:11:57,300
\nback to chasing up an idea or a
\npicture to the Book of Genesis <\/p>\n
223
\n00:11:57,300 –> 00:12:00,900
\nbecause they’re often the
\nbeginning, the seed of that <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:00,900 –> 00:12:04,000
\npicture is in Genesis and we see
\nit growing and reaching its <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:06,400
\nClimax and Revelation.
\nAnd sometimes what we see is an <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:08,700
\namplification of Revelation,
\nsometimes we’re having a <\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:08,708 –> 00:12:12,200
\ndiscussion yesterday.
\nWe actually see a paradox that <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:12,200 –> 00:12:15,900
\nin Revelation The dni and what
\nwe saw in Genesis has been <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:15,900 –> 00:12:17,900
\ncompletely changed around in the
\nBook of Revelation. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:21,300
\nAnd that’s, that’s a great way
\nof unlocking more from from the <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:21,300 –> 00:12:26,500
\nsymbol looking for themes, is it
\nobvious thing as 1, meditate <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:26,500 –> 00:12:29,500
\nmore and more in the Book of
\nRevelation certain themes become<\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:29,500 –> 00:12:32,700
\na parent.
\nOne of the key themes, you’ll <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:32,700 –> 00:12:35,700
\nhear me talking about over and
\nover again, that has become so <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:35,700 –> 00:12:40,400
\nobvious to me is the continuous
\nallusion to power with the Book <\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:44,300
\nof Revelation starts with this,
\nthis, this this place hissing of<\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:44,300 –> 00:12:46,700
\npower that’s been given to the
\nlamb and to God. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:12:46,800 –> 00:12:50,200
\nAnd in the whole way through
\nthis, a struggle for power, as <\/p>\n
239
\n00:12:50,200 –> 00:12:54,500
\nman, tries to exert, power and
\nstrength and then how God brings<\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:54,500 –> 00:12:56,800
\nthat power back.
\nSo, so we look out for these <\/p>\n
241
\n00:12:56,800 –> 00:12:59,200
\nthemes and these, these
\nrepetitions that, we expect to <\/p>\n
242
\n00:12:59,208 –> 00:13:02,900
\nsee and then meanings and
\npatents. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:02,900 –> 00:13:05,000
\nAgain, this is a bubble
\nTechnique. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:05,000 –> 00:13:08,900
\nWe make a lot of use of we try
\nand pick up patterns, we try and<\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:08,900 –> 00:13:10,600
\nsee, is there anything in the
\nmeaning of a word? <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:10,600 –> 00:13:15,200
\nAnd again, a lot of these, these
\ntechniques That helped us to <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:19,000
\ngain more from the message, or
\nto reveal the spiritual truth. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:21,500
\nOr as I mentioned earlier,
\nreally techniques that we’ve <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:21,500 –> 00:13:23,100
\nlearned from Jesus, and from
\nPaul. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:23,400 –> 00:13:26,200
\nI mean, for example, people
\nsometimes say to me, you know, <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:29,400
\nwe as barbel students, we keep
\ngoing back to the meaning of a <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:29,400 –> 00:13:31,600
\nword and then sometimes we over
\ndo that. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:31,600 –> 00:13:35,100
\nBut if you just look at porn
\nHebrew 7, he uses this <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:35,100 –> 00:13:36,700
\ntechnique.
\nFor example, when he mentions <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:36,700 –> 00:13:39,500
\nmilk is it?
\nHe says we’ve got a king called <\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:39,500 –> 00:13:43,300
\nMelchizedek and he begins to
\nunpack, what Melchizedek met. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:43,500 –> 00:13:47,200
\nMight mean today when he says
\nwell, his name means king of <\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:49,800
\nrighteousness.
\nSo he actually, he shows us this<\/p>\n
259
\n00:13:49,800 –> 00:13:52,500
\ntechnique, he takes the meaning
\nof the name, and he was the king<\/p>\n
260
\n00:13:52,500 –> 00:13:56,000
\nof Salem.
\nAnd Salem means peace. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:13:56,300 –> 00:13:59,200
\nSo we get from Melchizedek that
\nhe was first the king of <\/p>\n
262
\n00:13:59,200 –> 00:14:01,200
\nrighteousness.
\nAnd then he was the king of <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:04,400
\npeace and that idea of
\nRochester’s comes before P. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:08,700
\nSo so these are technique being
\ntaught to us by Paul of of <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:08,700 –> 00:14:10,900
\nmeanings.
\nI mean, as far as pectins is <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:10,900 –> 00:14:12,700
\nconcerned, the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, and it’s not always <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:12,700 –> 00:14:15,700
\nobvious is incredible at
\nteaching us to look at <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:15,700 –> 00:14:18,500
\noccurrences of words.
\nPeople often say, you know, you <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:18,500 –> 00:14:21,300
\nkeep talking about the number of
\ntimes this word appears and that<\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:21,300 –> 00:14:23,300
\nis so dominant in the Book of
\nRevelation. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:23,500 –> 00:14:26,000
\nI’ll give you one example.
\nBut we do Chase up Jesus says <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:26,900 –> 00:14:29,300
\nconsider the lilies.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:29,300 –> 00:14:33,000
\nAnd I can tell you that Solomon
\nin all his glory was not arrayed<\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:36,800
\nas one of these.
\nDon’t chase up the word Lily and<\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:36,800 –> 00:14:39,300
\nthe pattern of the use of that
\nword in the Old Testament, you <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:39,300 –> 00:14:42,400
\nwill find in almost every
\noccasion that its use. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:42,500 –> 00:14:46,300
\nSolomon is the one who uses it.
\nSo he’s made use of patents. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:46,300 –> 00:14:50,600
\nHe’s looked at who was who saw a
\nlily as something that was <\/p>\n
279
\n00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:54,100
\nglorious to and mentioned it all
\nthe time, Solomon sea. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:14:54,200 –> 00:14:57,200
\nDoesn’t just pick up the Lily
\nrandomly, he sees the pattern <\/p>\n
281
\n00:14:57,500 –> 00:15:00,500
\nand makes use of it.
\nSo, again, a Bible technique <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:00,500 –> 00:15:03,100
\ntalk to us by the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:06,000
\nLooking specifically for colors.
\nThe Book of Revelation is such a<\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:06,008 –> 00:15:09,400
\ncolorful books that we notice
\nthe colors and notice the <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:09,400 –> 00:15:12,100
\nnumbers we’re going to talk
\nabout how the book talks to us <\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:12,100 –> 00:15:16,000
\nin different languages.
\nAnd I want to just end on these <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:16,000 –> 00:15:18,000
\ntwo, what looks strange and what
\nis missing. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:18,500 –> 00:15:22,600
\nAnd again, I think this this
\ntechnique is taught to us by <\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:22,600 –> 00:15:24,100
\nboth Paul and the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:24,200 –> 00:15:28,900
\nWhen we focus on a scripture, we
\nexpect often because there’s a <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:28,900 –> 00:15:31,500
\nspiritual truth year that
\nthere’s something here that <\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:31,500 –> 00:15:35,200
\ndoesn’t fit naturally.
\nYou know, we’ve got to be very <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:38,800
\naware when we’re reading from
\nthe book of the spirit that many<\/p>\n
294
\n00:15:38,800 –> 00:15:42,500
\nof the things that the natural
\nmind expects to see and fraud <\/p>\n
295
\n00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:45,700
\nshouldn’t actually be there.
\nThey should be things that don’t<\/p>\n
296
\n00:15:45,700 –> 00:15:49,300
\nmake sense, because we’re being
\ntrained to think differently. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:15:49,700 –> 00:15:51,900
\nRemember what it says in Isaiah,
\nmy ways are not your ways. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:15:51,900 –> 00:15:54,000
\nMy thoughts are higher, as the
\nheavens are from the Earth. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:57,000
\nTo your thoughts.
\nI have a different way of <\/p>\n
300
\n00:15:57,000 –> 00:16:00,200
\ncomprehending things, so when we
\nconsider a passage, we should be<\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:00,200 –> 00:16:01,600
\nlooking for.
\nWhat’s missing? <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:03,900
\nWhat did I expect to find her
\nand it’s not here. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:04,300 –> 00:16:07,800
\nAgain, use the example.
\nHebrews 7, Paul, he says of <\/p>\n
304
\n00:16:07,800 –> 00:16:11,700
\nMelchizedek.
\nHe said who has no dissent. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:16:12,700 –> 00:16:17,800
\nWho has no father or mother now
\nwe think well surely because it <\/p>\n
306
\n00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:19,900
\nagain a father or a mother and
\nhad some dissent. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:23,100
\nBut what he’s saying is go back
\nto the record in Genesis use the<\/p>\n
308
\n00:16:23,100 –> 00:16:25,500
\nGenesis Gene practice.
\nGo back to the record in <\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:25,500 –> 00:16:28,500
\nGenesis.
\nLook at how the Bible reveals <\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:33,000
\nMelchizedek this incredibly
\nimportant, man who blesses Abram<\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:35,900
\nappears out of nowhere.
\nHe has no father. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:35,900 –> 00:16:39,000
\nHe has no mother used to say
\nhe’s saying, surely you noticed <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:39,000 –> 00:16:42,700
\nthat was missing and why?
\nWell, you got to go to Hebrews <\/p>\n
314
\n00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:43,700
\n7.
\nYou’ll find out. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:16:43,700 –> 00:16:46,500
\nSo so he’s using that, that
\nmissing what’s missing from the <\/p>\n
316
\n00:16:46,508 –> 00:16:51,700
\npassage, you know, Jesus does it
\nalso he’s phenomenon and that <\/p>\n
317
\n00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:54,600
\noften marveled at his technique
\nwhen they were argue about the <\/p>\n
318
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:16:57,500
\nresurrection.
\nHe said to them, what he is, the<\/p>\n
319
\n00:16:57,500 –> 00:17:01,500
\ngod of Abraham, Isaac, and
\nJacob, he is the god of the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:17:01,500 –> 00:17:05,599
\nliving, not the god of the Dead.
\nWhat was that all about? <\/p>\n
321
\n00:17:05,700 –> 00:17:07,800
\nHe was saying, didn’t you
\nrealize how? <\/p>\n
322
\n00:17:07,800 –> 00:17:10,099
\nWhen God the only time it’s
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:17:10,099 –> 00:17:12,200
\nIf you got to have a look at the
\nphrase, God is the god of <\/p>\n
324
\n00:17:12,200 –> 00:17:14,800
\nAbraham, Isaac, and Jacob, you
\nmight think that that phrase is <\/p>\n
325
\n00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:17,800
\nused throughout the Old
\nTestament as one of the labels <\/p>\n
326
\n00:17:17,800 –> 00:17:23,400
\nhave got it, isn’t it actually
\nonly appears four times around <\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:27,300
\nthe time of the burning and of
\nthe Bush and the revelation of <\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:27,300 –> 00:17:29,700
\nthe Eternal name?
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:30,300 –> 00:17:33,000
\nHe who was he, who is, he used
\nto come it represented. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:37,400
\nThe fact that God was Living.
\nAnd, in that revelation of his <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:40,000
\nname.
\nGod says, here’s my name Yahweh <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,800
\nand we will call me the god of
\nAbraham, Isaac, and Jacob. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:45,700
\nNow, what Jesus is saying is
\nwhat a strange Association to <\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:45,700 –> 00:17:49,800
\nmake that God in declaring
\nhimself to be living says, he’s <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:49,800 –> 00:17:52,600
\nthe god of three people that are
\ndead, that doesn’t make sense. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:17:52,600 –> 00:17:55,900
\nOf course, it doesn’t unless you
\nenter into the spiritual <\/p>\n
337
\n00:17:55,900 –> 00:17:58,200
\nmindset, that says, they’re not
\ndead. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:17:58,900 –> 00:18:03,600
\nThey will be raised again.
\nSo these, these biblical study, <\/p>\n
339
\n00:18:04,000 –> 00:18:07,200
\nMeek’s meditation techniques,
\nthey’re being taught to us by <\/p>\n
340
\n00:18:07,200 –> 00:18:10,700
\nthe two greatest students we
\ncould ever ask to learn from the<\/p>\n
341
\n00:18:10,700 –> 00:18:14,900
\nLord Jesus Christ, and Paul and
\nothers who show us how we can <\/p>\n
342
\n00:18:14,900 –> 00:18:17,900
\ntake parts of Revelation and
\nindeed parts of any part of <\/p>\n
343
\n00:18:17,900 –> 00:18:21,000
\nscripture and apply these kind
\nof techniques but it takes time,<\/p>\n
344
\n00:18:21,500 –> 00:18:25,200
\nit requires us to think deeply.
\nSo we’re going to be doing some <\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:26,800
\nof these things.
\nWe’re going to be saying, what <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:31,400
\nlooks strange what’s missing?
\nAnd hopefully from that maybe <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:31,700 –> 00:18:36,300
\nlearn a few things so these
\nlittle This yet developed by the<\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:40,100
\ngraphic designer, Matthew blew,
\nit they will appear every now. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:40,100 –> 00:18:43,200
\nAnd again, to show you that
\nwe’re using this technique, <\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:46,300
\nmaybe just to demonstrate it,
\nand I’m sure in your own Bible <\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:46,300 –> 00:18:48,400
\nstudy, you have.
\nBut for those who perhaps <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:51,100
\nhaven’t thought about it more
\nformally, he has a way of <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:51,100 –> 00:18:56,100
\nthinking about it, so let us
\nstart getting into some practice<\/p>\n
354
\n00:18:56,100 –> 00:18:57,200
\nbecause that’s the best way to
\nlearn. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:01,600
\nNow, if you haven’t worked out
\nby now, I have a computer it <\/p>\n
356
\n00:19:01,600 –> 00:19:03,100
\nbackground.
\nSo I do think of it like a <\/p>\n
357
\n00:19:03,100 –> 00:19:06,500
\ncomputer every night.
\nAgain and at the very basic <\/p>\n
358
\n00:19:06,500 –> 00:19:09,000
\nlevel of RT, the way that we’ve
\nimproved your life. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:12,000
\nSo massively is actually very
\nsimple, we just understood <\/p>\n
360
\n00:19:12,000 –> 00:19:14,600
\nbinary code, we understood that
\nin life. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:19:14,900 –> 00:19:17,200
\nEverything is either on or off.
\nSo right now some of you are <\/p>\n
362
\n00:19:17,200 –> 00:19:22,200
\noften some of you are on okay
\nI’m overly more 1s than 0 then <\/p>\n
363
\n00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:25,700
\nzeros in this room and we
\nrepresent that as a one and a <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:25,708 –> 00:19:30,100
\nzero and it’s the simplest piece
\nof information that in the <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:30,100 –> 00:19:33,000
\narticle computer world that we
\ncould represent and we can <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:33,000 –> 00:19:36,200
\neither represented by II
\nparticular piece of an <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:36,200 –> 00:19:39,400
\nelectronic circuit being on or
\noff, we can actually use <\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:39,400 –> 00:19:42,300
\nmagnetism to do that and we can
\nuse light to do that. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:42,300 –> 00:19:44,900
\nLight is on or off.
\nThat’s why we’ve got Optical <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:45,000 –> 00:19:46,400
\ncommunication methods, I’ll
\nstop. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:46,400 –> 00:19:50,800
\nThey leave the Artistry but you
\nget that just bits and then <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:55,700
\noften to sort of like represent
\nsomething a bit more meaningful <\/p>\n
373
\n00:19:55,700 –> 00:20:00,500
\nlike a letter, we take a number
\nof bits 8 butts and we call them<\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:00,500 –> 00:20:03,000
\na bite.
\nSo, if you, if you don’t <\/p>\n
375
\n00:20:03,000 –> 00:20:04,800
\nremember anything else at this,
\nYou’ve got a computer. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:20:04,800 –> 00:20:05,900
\nListen.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:07,900
\nNow the only reason I’m telling
\nyou all of that there is no <\/p>\n
378
\n00:20:07,900 –> 00:20:10,200
\nscriptural background as you
\nknow, bits and bytes and the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:20:10,208 –> 00:20:13,700
\nscripture it’s just that when I
\nwas doing my meditations I <\/p>\n
380
\n00:20:13,708 –> 00:20:17,700
\nbecame very aware that sometimes
\nI would meditate on a passage <\/p>\n
381
\n00:20:17,700 –> 00:20:21,000
\nand they would be a single idea.
\nI call that a bit, a beautiful <\/p>\n
382
\n00:20:21,000 –> 00:20:22,800
\nspiritual truth, that I would
\ntake for the day. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:24,800
\nMaybe I would pause on for two
\nor three days. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:25,200 –> 00:20:29,700
\nBut every now and again, and
\nmore more more more now than <\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:29,700 –> 00:20:33,900
\nagain, I would discover a bit
\nthat needed to be chewed on. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:34,800 –> 00:20:36,300
\nYou know, you understand about
\nchewing. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:36,300 –> 00:20:39,700
\nThe cud like the cattle.
\nTeach us when they really get a <\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:39,700 –> 00:20:43,300
\ngood piece of grass.
\nThey tasted say, wow, this this <\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:47,300
\ngrass is really good.
\nWhat they do, is they go to bed <\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:47,500 –> 00:20:48,900
\nand then they wake up in the
\nmorning, I think. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:48,900 –> 00:20:51,900
\nWow, I remember that piece of
\ngrass a tight and they bring it <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:51,900 –> 00:20:54,400
\nback up again.
\nI mean, sometimes I wish I could<\/p>\n
393
\n00:20:54,400 –> 00:20:56,500
\ndo that.
\nGot a great restaurant, have a <\/p>\n
394
\n00:20:56,500 –> 00:20:59,400
\ngood meal annexed, a bring it
\nback up and enjoy it again. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:21:01,500 –> 00:21:02,900
\nI won’t carry on with that
\nanalogy. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:21:03,500 –> 00:21:07,200
\nSo, The idea is that you can
\nchew the cat and of course <\/p>\n
397
\n00:21:07,200 –> 00:21:10,100
\nwhat’s so amazing about the word
\nof God is, we choose the kind <\/p>\n
398
\n00:21:10,300 –> 00:21:12,300
\nand we and we get into a bit
\nmore of the detail. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:15,900
\nWe pull more of the string, even
\nmore spiritual truths, come out.<\/p>\n
400
\n00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:19,900
\nAnd our mind begins to wonder
\nand think about it over the day <\/p>\n
401
\n00:21:20,400 –> 00:21:22,900
\nand over the week.
\nSo everyone, again, I have a <\/p>\n
402
\n00:21:22,900 –> 00:21:24,100
\nbat.
\nSo what we’re going to be <\/p>\n
403
\n00:21:24,100 –> 00:21:26,400
\nsharing with you through the
\nrest of our time together, are <\/p>\n
404
\n00:21:26,400 –> 00:21:30,700
\nsome bits, some meditations that
\nare, I think quite specific <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:30,900 –> 00:21:34,700
\nsingular in the, in the message
\nand some that We’ll take me <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:34,700 –> 00:21:37,300
\nabout half an hour to tell you
\nabout just, and I’m so excited <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:39,300
\nto share it.
\nSo, I’ve just got a lead you to <\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:39,300 –> 00:21:41,300
\nthe cad with me.
\nSo that’s a bit about. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:44,700
\nSo I’ll talk about Revelation, B
\nand Revelation butts and I have <\/p>\n
410
\n00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:47,000
\nno Bible reference to show you
\nto do that. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:53,500
\nBut anyway, let us now give to
\nillustrations of bits, just <\/p>\n
412
\n00:21:54,400 –> 00:21:58,700
\nputting into practice the the
\napproach that I’m suggesting. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:02,600
\nSo I’m going to start with a
\nseeing bit and on the screen. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:22:02,600 –> 00:22:03,900
\nYeah.
\nSo here we have. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:22:04,200 –> 00:22:07,100
\nPassage from Revelation chapter
\n19. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:22:07,100 –> 00:22:10,500
\nSo he jumping to Revelation, 19,
\nand let’s read it to you. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:22:11,000 –> 00:22:14,400
\nSo, if I was doing my meditation
\napproach, this is the passage <\/p>\n
418
\n00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:15,900
\nthat’s come up.
\nWe read it. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:22:16,100 –> 00:22:20,200
\nNow, I saw heaven, opened and
\nbehold a white horse, and he who<\/p>\n
420
\n00:22:20,200 –> 00:22:22,400
\nsat on him was called faithful
\nand true. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:25,300
\nAnd in righteousness, he judges
\nand makes War. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:29,600
\nHis eyes were like a flame of
\nfire and on his head were many <\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:29,600 –> 00:22:31,700
\ncrowns.
\nHe had a name written. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:31,900 –> 00:22:36,000
\nThat no one knew except himself.
\nIf he was clothed with a robe <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:36,100 –> 00:22:40,100
\ndipped in Blood, and his name is
\ncalled the word of God. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:40,500 –> 00:22:44,100
\nNow, if I click forward, just
\nIllustrated the point. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:46,000 –> 00:22:49,100
\nNot that forward, if I go back
\nlike that, there are a few more <\/p>\n
428
\n00:22:49,100 –> 00:22:51,200
\nverses that carry on with this
\nVision. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:52,800
\nThat’s not the end of that
\nVision. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:56,300
\nIn verse 14, it says and the
\narmies in heaven clothed, in <\/p>\n
431
\n00:22:56,300 –> 00:22:59,500
\nfine linen, white and clean
\nfollowed him on white horses. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:22:59,700 –> 00:23:03,600
\nNow, what I’ve purposely done
\nhere is I have decided to stop <\/p>\n
433
\n00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:05,500
\nthere because there is a break
\nin the vision. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:23:05,600 –> 00:23:08,000
\nThe next part of the vision is
\ngoing to focus on those who are <\/p>\n
435
\n00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:09,900
\naround the one on the White
\nHorse. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:23:10,100 –> 00:23:13,400
\nSo again, the only reason I’ve
\ndone that is because I’m a <\/p>\n
437
\n00:23:13,400 –> 00:23:16,100
\npretty simple guy.
\nIf I’ve got to try and Imagine <\/p>\n
438
\n00:23:16,100 –> 00:23:18,200
\nall of that.
\nMy mom not may not be able to <\/p>\n
439
\n00:23:18,200 –> 00:23:20,100
\nfocus.
\nI’m quite comfortable with doing<\/p>\n
440
\n00:23:20,100 –> 00:23:23,700
\nthat because the way I do, my
\nmeditation is in two or three <\/p>\n
441
\n00:23:23,700 –> 00:23:27,000
\ndays time, I will move on to the
\nnext part of the vision and <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:29,700
\nmaybe focus on that and there
\nmay be some context that’s <\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:32,600
\nrelevant from the previous spot.
\nSo so, you know, we always say <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:32,600 –> 00:23:34,000
\ntry and keep everything in
\ncontext. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:34,000 –> 00:23:37,700
\nWell, that’s maybe an exception.
\nSo we’re focusing just on that <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:37,700 –> 00:23:40,400
\nfirst part.
\nI’m going to read it again and <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:42,100
\nI’m warning you now.
\nSo after you’ve done that, then <\/p>\n
448
\n00:23:42,100 –> 00:23:44,500
\nI want you to close your eyes
\nand I want you to see the <\/p>\n
449
\n00:23:44,500 –> 00:23:45,600
\npicture.
\nYou can do it while I’m reading.<\/p>\n
450
\n00:23:45,700 –> 00:23:47,300
\nSay it again, but let’s read it
\nagain. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:23:47,300 –> 00:23:50,300
\nAre normally take three reads.
\nSome might take this. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:54,400
\nNow, I saw heaven opened and
\nbehold a white horse, and he who<\/p>\n
453
\n00:23:54,400 –> 00:23:56,400
\nsat on him was called faithful
\nand true. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:23:56,700 –> 00:23:59,400
\nAnd in righteousness, he judges
\nand makes War. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:23:59,700 –> 00:24:03,800
\nHis eyes were like a flame of
\nfire and on his head were many <\/p>\n
456
\n00:24:03,800 –> 00:24:06,300
\ncrowns.
\nHe had a name written that no <\/p>\n
457
\n00:24:06,300 –> 00:24:09,600
\none knew except himself.
\nHe was clothed with a robe <\/p>\n
458
\n00:24:09,600 –> 00:24:13,400
\ndipped in Blood and his name is
\ncalled the word of God. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:15,600
\nSo you’re going to be thankful,
\nI’m going to shut up for them. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:19,000
\nMinute and ask you just to
\nimagine and visualize that <\/p>\n
461
\n00:24:19,000 –> 00:25:20,300
\nlittle picture.
\nAt this point, anybody listen to<\/p>\n
462
\n00:25:20,308 –> 00:25:23,300
\nthe recording is just checking
\nthat it’s still working, but we <\/p>\n
463
\n00:25:23,300 –> 00:25:24,800
\nare still.
\nYeah, how many thought to minute<\/p>\n
464
\n00:25:24,800 –> 00:25:26,600
\nwas quite a long time and you
\ndidn’t need a minute. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:25:26,600 –> 00:25:27,900
\nTo think about that, put your
\nhands up. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:25:27,900 –> 00:25:31,500
\nIf you want to say that you were
\ndone in 10 15 seconds. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:35,900
\nSo so the point is, if that’s
\ntrue, it’s a practice, it’s a <\/p>\n
468
\n00:25:35,900 –> 00:25:39,000
\npractice of saying it just took
\nme 10 seconds to imagine a. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:25:39,008 –> 00:25:41,200
\nBut now I’ve got to get on top
\nof this man with it. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:42,800
\nWhat do I see?
\nHow do I see anything different?<\/p>\n
471
\n00:25:42,800 –> 00:25:45,500
\nWhen I zoom up and look at him
\nfrom above, is anything <\/p>\n
472
\n00:25:45,500 –> 00:25:47,900
\ndifferent from that perspective?
\nAnd then I look at him from the <\/p>\n
473
\n00:25:47,908 –> 00:25:50,700
\nfront door, I noticed I think I
\nmight notice anything different.<\/p>\n
474
\n00:25:50,800 –> 00:25:53,500
\nSo there’s looks to notice isn’t
\nthere in that there’s lots to to<\/p>\n
475
\n00:25:53,500 –> 00:25:57,100
\nget our attention, this picture
\nof this incredible man and he’s <\/p>\n
476
\n00:25:57,100 –> 00:25:59,300
\nriding his White Horse.
\nAnd the white is perhaps <\/p>\n
477
\n00:25:59,300 –> 00:26:03,500
\nstarting to get our mind racing.
\nAnd he’s got these fiery ours <\/p>\n
478
\n00:26:03,800 –> 00:26:06,000
\nand he’s got the word of God
\nwritten on them. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:26:06,000 –> 00:26:08,800
\nAnd of course, their minds
\nperhaps before we can even stop <\/p>\n
480
\n00:26:08,800 –> 00:26:10,200
\nthem because we try to imagine
\nit more. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:26:10,200 –> 00:26:13,500
\nWe maybe even getting it goes
\nback to John 1 and and we still <\/p>\n
482
\n00:26:13,500 –> 00:26:16,900
\ntrying to imagine the picture
\nand as we’re imagining it there,<\/p>\n
483
\n00:26:16,900 –> 00:26:18,700
\nso many things that could get
\nour attention. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:26:18,800 –> 00:26:21,100
\nThat’s why there’s so much in
\nhere. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:26:21,100 –> 00:26:24,000
\nNow, for me, what was it?
\nI’m taking you through my <\/p>\n
486
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:25,600
\nprocess.
\nWhat was it about that picture <\/p>\n
487
\n00:26:25,600 –> 00:26:29,200
\nthat maybe grab my attention,
\nthat seem peculiar using that <\/p>\n
488
\n00:26:29,200 –> 00:26:33,300
\nparticular technique and we’re
\ngoing to be sharing that <\/p>\n
489
\n00:26:33,300 –> 00:26:36,300
\ntogether.
\nSo for me, as I’ve just taken <\/p>\n
490
\n00:26:36,300 –> 00:26:40,000
\nyou through, it’s a process of
\nfocus, getting yourself into a <\/p>\n
491
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:43,000
\nquiet place so that you can
\nexternally, Focus doesn’t help <\/p>\n
492
\n00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:47,100
\nif you’re in a very noisy place,
\nit’s hard to see the vision we <\/p>\n
493
\n00:26:47,100 –> 00:26:48,700
\nspoke about internal Focus
\nclearing. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:26:48,900 –> 00:26:52,100
\nMind meditation practices,
\nperhaps before, even doing the <\/p>\n
495
\n00:26:52,100 –> 00:26:55,900
\nimagination and reading the
\nscripture spend 235 to have a <\/p>\n
496
\n00:26:55,908 –> 00:26:57,400
\nlong.
\nYou’ve got breathing techniques,<\/p>\n
497
\n00:26:57,600 –> 00:27:00,900
\nclear your mind, get yourself
\nready to truly be able to focus.<\/p>\n
498
\n00:27:01,200 –> 00:27:03,500
\nAnother little practice that I
\nfind very useful. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:27:03,700 –> 00:27:05,700
\nWhen you’ve got a shorter
\npassage of scripture, sometimes <\/p>\n
500
\n00:27:05,700 –> 00:27:09,000
\ntrying to read it in reverse.
\nNow I know that that’s to do <\/p>\n
501
\n00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:11,200
\nthat audibly is very difficult
\nbut it’s not difficult to do <\/p>\n
502
\n00:27:11,200 –> 00:27:13,000
\nthat.
\nWhen you just look at a passage <\/p>\n
503
\n00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:16,600
\nread the passage and the ideas
\nbackwards because our brains <\/p>\n
504
\n00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:18,200
\nhave ability.
\nWhen we looking at passages, <\/p>\n
505
\n00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:21,600
\nwe’ve seen many Any times before
\nto miss to see the same detail <\/p>\n
506
\n00:27:21,600 –> 00:27:24,300
\nevery time.
\nSo a practice, read it in <\/p>\n
507
\n00:27:24,300 –> 00:27:27,100
\nreverse.
\nAnd then of course in this Focus<\/p>\n
508
\n00:27:27,100 –> 00:27:30,300
\ntick method that I was thinking
\nof going Beyond, just seeing the<\/p>\n
509
\n00:27:30,300 –> 00:27:33,800
\npicture, but looking for that,
\nwhich is missing, or that, which<\/p>\n
510
\n00:27:33,800 –> 00:27:36,600
\nlooks like the red ball,
\nsomething, that’s different. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:27:36,700 –> 00:27:41,200
\nAnd so if we take this passage,
\ndid your picture look like that.<\/p>\n
512
\n00:27:41,800 –> 00:27:43,800
\nAnybody ever picture like that?
\nNot at all. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:27:44,000 –> 00:27:47,200
\nSo imagine if you had seen that
\nbefore, then you would have been<\/p>\n
514
\n00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:49,500
\nmaybe made to have Good.
\nThat picture. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:27:49,800 –> 00:27:52,300
\nSo that’s a part of this.
\nThis technique apart of this <\/p>\n
516
\n00:27:52,300 –> 00:27:55,100
\napproach but I have used that
\npicture for a reason because <\/p>\n
517
\n00:27:55,100 –> 00:27:59,300
\nwhen I spend time focusing on
\nthis image one thing suddenly <\/p>\n
518
\n00:27:59,300 –> 00:28:02,700
\njumped out at me.
\nYeah we have this this amazing <\/p>\n
519
\n00:28:03,400 –> 00:28:06,800
\nperson coming who’s going to
\nterrain and faithfulness and <\/p>\n
520
\n00:28:06,800 –> 00:28:09,300
\nbring Justice and of course,
\nwe’ve got the pictures of the <\/p>\n
521
\n00:28:09,308 –> 00:28:11,600
\nLord, Jesus Christ already in
\nour mind. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:28:12,000 –> 00:28:16,100
\nAnd it says that he is wearing
\nmany crowns and I wasn’t as good<\/p>\n
523
\n00:28:16,100 –> 00:28:18,400
\nas this archers.
\nI was wondering how he was going<\/p>\n
524
\n00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:19,100
\nto be.
\nBalance. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:28:19,100 –> 00:28:21,400
\nAll those crowns on his head, I
\ndon’t know that some of you had <\/p>\n
526
\n00:28:21,400 –> 00:28:23,800
\nthat kind of thought, you know,
\nI kind of I didn’t think you’d <\/p>\n
527
\n00:28:23,800 –> 00:28:26,000
\npick them like that.
\nYou had one here and one there, <\/p>\n
528
\n00:28:26,000 –> 00:28:30,100
\nit’s just quite awkward.
\nAnd I was looking at some video <\/p>\n
529
\n00:28:30,100 –> 00:28:32,000
\nfootage, you know, when the
\nQueen of England makes her a <\/p>\n
530
\n00:28:32,000 –> 00:28:35,500
\nrare appearance often not
\nlooking too happy, even for a <\/p>\n
531
\n00:28:35,500 –> 00:28:38,600
\nporous, grandson’s wedding.
\nBut anyway, besides that she <\/p>\n
532
\n00:28:38,600 –> 00:28:41,700
\narrives and she’s just got one
\ncrown and you don’t need more <\/p>\n
533
\n00:28:41,700 –> 00:28:43,700
\nthan one Crown to show you a
\nqueen or a king. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:28:43,700 –> 00:28:48,300
\nBut here is this, this many
\ncrowns and of course the the <\/p>\n
535
\n00:28:48,300 –> 00:28:50,600
\nperson, Drew this picture has
\ntried to illustrate that. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:28:50,800 –> 00:28:53,900
\nHe’s got them stacked up on his
\nhead and so suddenly my <\/p>\n
537
\n00:28:53,900 –> 00:28:57,100
\nattention is drawn to why many
\ncrowns? <\/p>\n
538
\n00:28:57,700 –> 00:28:59,500
\nWhy does he have to come with
\nmany crowns? <\/p>\n
539
\n00:28:59,500 –> 00:29:02,300
\nAnd what does that teach me and
\nis there something I can take <\/p>\n
540
\n00:29:02,300 –> 00:29:04,900
\nwith me for the day and for the
\nrest of my life? <\/p>\n
541
\n00:29:04,900 –> 00:29:06,900
\nSo it’s it’s follow that
\nthrough. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:29:07,400 –> 00:29:11,600
\nFirst of all, as I said, I do
\nlike to start by just saying, <\/p>\n
543
\n00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:14,600
\nwhat am I getting out of this
\npassage before I move into the <\/p>\n
544
\n00:29:14,600 –> 00:29:17,200
\ndetail of something I’ve noticed
\nand and I think we would all <\/p>\n
545
\n00:29:17,200 –> 00:29:20,500
\nagree when we stay at the First
\nlevel, this is a beautiful <\/p>\n
546
\n00:29:20,500 –> 00:29:23,900
\npassage, and if I get nothing
\nmore out of it, it’s confidence <\/p>\n
547
\n00:29:23,900 –> 00:29:27,200
\nthat although we live in a world
\nwhere sometimes we can feel like<\/p>\n
548
\n00:29:27,200 –> 00:29:30,400
\nthere’s no justice that will
\nthey ever come a day where there<\/p>\n
549
\n00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:33,200
\nis going to be this?
\nWell, to be colloquial this <\/p>\n
550
\n00:29:33,200 –> 00:29:36,900
\nknight in shining armor on a
\nwhite horse will come and rule <\/p>\n
551
\n00:29:36,900 –> 00:29:38,800
\nin righteousness and bring
\nJustice. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:29:39,000 –> 00:29:41,900
\nAnd and there’s the inspiration
\nbefore we even go any further. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:44,500
\nAnd the Book of Revelation is
\nfull of that inspiration. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:29:44,500 –> 00:29:48,000
\nSo that when I go out for my day
\nand suddenly at work, I’m <\/p>\n
555
\n00:29:48,000 –> 00:29:52,000
\nconfronted With power that I
\nunderstand is not good and not <\/p>\n
556
\n00:29:52,000 –> 00:29:54,400
\nby the principles that I want to
\nlive by. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:29:54,800 –> 00:29:58,300
\nI’m encouraged that that my
\njudge is coming and when he <\/p>\n
558
\n00:29:58,300 –> 00:30:00,200
\ncomes, he will Vanquish all
\nthat. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:02,800
\nI’ll be for him.
\nSo there’s the the Forest View. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:30:02,800 –> 00:30:05,100
\nBut, but that’s pursue now the
\nfocus. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:30:05,700 –> 00:30:07,900
\nAnd let’s think about these
\ncrowns. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:30:08,500 –> 00:30:12,400
\nSo he’s wearing many crowns and
\nso we want to say, well, how <\/p>\n
563
\n00:30:12,400 –> 00:30:14,200
\ndoes the bible help us to
\nunderstand crowns? <\/p>\n
564
\n00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:16,500
\nWell, from a natural point of
\nview, the minute we think of <\/p>\n
565
\n00:30:16,500 –> 00:30:21,300
\ncrowns, we think of English say
\nQueens, rest of us a king’s. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:26,500
\nOkay, we think of of power, we
\nthink of those who rule we think<\/p>\n
567
\n00:30:26,500 –> 00:30:28,900
\nof Kings, well, is that what the
\nscripture? <\/p>\n
568
\n00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:31,400
\nSays we go back to the
\nscriptures and fact the first <\/p>\n
569
\n00:30:31,400 –> 00:30:34,200
\noccurrence of a crown is linked
\nto a King. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:30:34,900 –> 00:30:37,800
\nFirst time we find it’s not in
\nGenesis, by the way or that I <\/p>\n
571
\n00:30:37,800 –> 00:30:41,000
\nfound, please if I’m wrong, I’d
\nlove to be able to correct that <\/p>\n
572
\n00:30:41,000 –> 00:30:44,100
\nact in fact, but second Samuel,
\nchapter 1 and verse 10 is the <\/p>\n
573
\n00:30:44,100 –> 00:30:47,500
\nfirst occurrence of a crown and
\nit was the first king’s crown. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:30:48,200 –> 00:30:51,500
\nSo very interesting, just a
\nlittle side note, we get <\/p>\n
575
\n00:30:51,500 –> 00:30:54,400
\nintroduced to Source Crown once
\nhe’s dead. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:30:55,300 –> 00:30:57,300
\nI think there’s a wonderful
\nmessage there, The People’s <\/p>\n
577
\n00:30:57,300 –> 00:31:01,400
\nChoice for power and we see his
\ncrown first, when he’s a dead <\/p>\n
578
\n00:31:01,400 –> 00:31:05,600
\nman, and of course, we have many
\nother references to crowns, but <\/p>\n
579
\n00:31:05,600 –> 00:31:09,500
\nthe one Echo that should be
\ncoming up is the crown of thorns<\/p>\n
580
\n00:31:09,800 –> 00:31:12,500
\nthat they gave to the one that
\nGod had chosen to be king. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:31:13,100 –> 00:31:16,700
\nSo the one that they chose to be
\nking, we find him with a crown <\/p>\n
582
\n00:31:16,700 –> 00:31:19,900
\nwhen he’s dead.
\nOne that they didn’t want us <\/p>\n
583
\n00:31:19,900 –> 00:31:21,900
\nKing.
\nWe found him with a crown of <\/p>\n
584
\n00:31:21,900 –> 00:31:23,300
\nthorns when they trying to kill
\nhim. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:31:24,100 –> 00:31:28,500
\nWhat an amazing contrast between
\npower and Kings. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:31:28,600 –> 00:31:32,200
\nSo, immediately we starting to
\nunderstand more about, he’s <\/p>\n
587
\n00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:37,200
\ncoming with many crowns and this
\nis something to do with with <\/p>\n
588
\n00:31:37,200 –> 00:31:42,500
\npower and God and man’s claims
\nto power And so why would he <\/p>\n
589
\n00:31:42,500 –> 00:31:48,500
\nhave to wear many crowns?
\nWell, but later on the verses <\/p>\n
590
\n00:31:48,500 –> 00:31:50,800
\nthat I didn’t ask you to read
\nand we would come to you in the <\/p>\n
591
\n00:31:50,800 –> 00:31:53,900
\nnext day of meditation.
\nHe and the very same vision is <\/p>\n
592
\n00:31:53,900 –> 00:31:57,600
\ncalled the king of kings.
\nIn other words, the word of God <\/p>\n
593
\n00:31:57,600 –> 00:32:00,800
\nwants you to know that there are
\nmany Pretenders to power out <\/p>\n
594
\n00:32:00,800 –> 00:32:02,700
\nthere.
\nMany people who want to hold the<\/p>\n
595
\n00:32:02,700 –> 00:32:05,500
\ncrown, this man is not coming
\njust to be another king. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:32:07,000 –> 00:32:09,100
\nHe’s coming to Vanquish all of
\nthem. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:12,300
\nAll of these Kings will be under
\nhis kingship. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:32:12,300 –> 00:32:15,100
\nEvery Crown is going to be his
\ncrown. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:32:15,100 –> 00:32:19,200
\nHe has many crowns because he is
\nthe king of everything and <\/p>\n
600
\n00:32:19,200 –> 00:32:22,400
\neveryone or crowns are brought
\nbefore him. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:32:22,900 –> 00:32:26,200
\nSo suddenly this idea of Many
\nCrowns, as unusual as it may <\/p>\n
602
\n00:32:26,200 –> 00:32:30,000
\nseem in a vision from the
\nnatural perspective in the <\/p>\n
603
\n00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:32,300
\nspiritual perspective, makes all
\nsense. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:32:32,500 –> 00:32:34,300
\nAnd so we find in the Book of
\nRevelation are lots of other <\/p>\n
605
\n00:32:34,300 –> 00:32:37,200
\ncrowns.
\nThe beasts have crowns. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:40,400
\nA dragon has crowns.
\nEverybody’s trying to show that <\/p>\n
607
\n00:32:40,400 –> 00:32:44,600
\nthey are the true power, but
\nthis is the only one with many <\/p>\n
608
\n00:32:44,600 –> 00:32:47,100
\ncrowns.
\nThis is the king of kings. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:32:48,900 –> 00:32:53,100
\nSo, that brings me to worship.
\nIt brings me to reflect on. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:32:53,400 –> 00:32:57,900
\nWhat does that mean for me and
\nmy Lord and it may bring me to <\/p>\n
611
\n00:32:57,900 –> 00:33:01,400
\npray and all of this matters
\nbecause it puts his greatness <\/p>\n
612
\n00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:04,800
\ninto perspective, I’m brought to
\nworship him with humility. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:33:04,800 –> 00:33:08,300
\nWe spoke about that today in the
\nknowledge of his omnipotence, <\/p>\n
614
\n00:33:08,600 –> 00:33:11,300
\nthough we may live in a world
\nwhere it seems that certain <\/p>\n
615
\n00:33:11,300 –> 00:33:15,400
\ncrowns wield, so much power, and
\nresultant Untold, Injustice and <\/p>\n
616
\n00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:17,700
\nmisery.
\nWe are humbled by his or <\/p>\n
617
\n00:33:17,700 –> 00:33:22,000
\nconsuming power, he will prevail
\nas the only Power For yours is <\/p>\n
618
\n00:33:22,000 –> 00:33:24,100
\nthe kingdom, the power, and the
\nglory, both now and forever. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:33:24,100 –> 00:33:27,700
\nAnd I’ve put it as a free
\nbecause to me, meditation must <\/p>\n
620
\n00:33:27,700 –> 00:33:30,900
\nbring us to some, some edit
\nconsciousness of our <\/p>\n
621
\n00:33:30,900 –> 00:33:33,100
\nrelationship with the Lord
\nJesus, and his father. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:33:33,500 –> 00:33:36,500
\nSo, that’s the worship.
\nAnd then before we leave our <\/p>\n
623
\n00:33:36,500 –> 00:33:39,000
\nmeditation.
\nWhat can I take with me for the <\/p>\n
624
\n00:33:39,000 –> 00:33:42,000
\nday?
\nHow can I apply this into my own<\/p>\n
625
\n00:33:42,000 –> 00:33:44,600
\nlife?
\nAnd isn’t it true? <\/p>\n
626
\n00:33:45,300 –> 00:33:50,000
\nThat he is the king of kings?
\nHe is the one who wants to be <\/p>\n
627
\n00:33:50,000 –> 00:33:54,200
\nking of every part of my life
\nand we do have different parts <\/p>\n
628
\n00:33:54,200 –> 00:33:56,100
\nof our Lives.
\nWe have the part that we’re <\/p>\n
629
\n00:33:56,100 –> 00:33:59,800
\nenjoying right now.
\nIt’s our ecclesial Church laugh <\/p>\n
630
\n00:34:00,200 –> 00:34:03,500
\nand sometimes it’s easy for him
\nto have that crown and we are <\/p>\n
631
\n00:34:03,500 –> 00:34:06,300
\ncelebrating the fact that he’s
\nthe king here right now but in a<\/p>\n
632
\n00:34:06,308 –> 00:34:09,800
\nfew days time we go back to work
\nand there’s some very, very <\/p>\n
633
\n00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:12,699
\nstrong people there.
\nPeople like our bosses people <\/p>\n
634
\n00:34:12,699 –> 00:34:16,000
\nlike the owners of the business
\nyou could fire us tomorrow and <\/p>\n
635
\n00:34:16,000 –> 00:34:19,000
\nthey exert power and sometimes
\nwe don’t want to tell them where<\/p>\n
636
\n00:34:19,000 –> 00:34:21,699
\nwe’ve been the last week because
\nwe’re afraid that maybe That <\/p>\n
637
\n00:34:21,699 –> 00:34:23,300
\nwould affect our relationship
\nwith him. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:34:23,900 –> 00:34:29,000
\nAnd so perhaps he isn’t the
\nkingly, well, maybe for you, he <\/p>\n
639
\n00:34:29,000 –> 00:34:31,300
\nis the king there, but you have
\nsome entertainment that you love<\/p>\n
640
\n00:34:31,300 –> 00:34:33,600
\nto do with friends, maybe
\nplaying golf. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:34:33,600 –> 00:34:36,100
\nMaybe going to watch football or
\nwhatever it might be. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:34:36,199 –> 00:34:37,900
\nAnd in that place, he doesn’t
\nhave the crown. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:34:39,300 –> 00:34:44,600
\nOr maybe it’s at your home in
\nyour family environment where <\/p>\n
644
\n00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:47,900
\nyou are, the boss would like to
\nbe the power and he doesn’t <\/p>\n
645
\n00:34:47,900 –> 00:34:50,100
\nhonestly rule there.
\nSo the point is, he has many <\/p>\n
646
\n00:34:50,100 –> 00:34:53,400
\ncrowns because he wants to be
\nthe king of every part of your <\/p>\n
647
\n00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:56,199
\nlife.
\nIs there a place in your life, <\/p>\n
648
\n00:34:56,199 –> 00:35:00,600
\nwhere he doesn’t hold the crown?
\nSo as I walk out into the day, <\/p>\n
649
\n00:35:00,600 –> 00:35:05,200
\nI’m thinking, Lord, you need to
\nbe my king of kings in every <\/p>\n
650
\n00:35:05,200 –> 00:35:07,500
\nplace that I’m found.
\nI need to be able to say you are<\/p>\n
651
\n00:35:07,500 –> 00:35:11,200
\nKing here.
\nAnd of course, if you like <\/p>\n
652
\n00:35:11,200 –> 00:35:13,900
\nbonus, Jim’s, I like to wish you
\na bonus Jim’s. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:35:13,900 –> 00:35:18,200
\nThere’s this idea that comes
\nfrom the New Testament. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:35:18,300 –> 00:35:21,500
\nWe’re in fact, pork talks about
\nthe Crown’s, we’re going to <\/p>\n
655
\n00:35:21,500 –> 00:35:23,800
\nreceive and often we think what
\nwe’re going to get this one <\/p>\n
656
\n00:35:23,800 –> 00:35:24,900
\nCrown.
\nWell, I’ve got good news for <\/p>\n
657
\n00:35:24,900 –> 00:35:26,100
\nyou.
\nYou’re not just getting one <\/p>\n
658
\n00:35:26,100 –> 00:35:29,300
\nCrown in.
\nFirst Corinthians 9, Paul says <\/p>\n
659
\n00:35:29,300 –> 00:35:31,200
\nyou’re going to get an
\nIncorruptible Crown, I’d like <\/p>\n
660
\n00:35:31,200 –> 00:35:34,900
\none of those, but he says in 1st
\nThessalonians, there’s a crown <\/p>\n
661
\n00:35:34,900 –> 00:35:37,400
\nof rejoicing that’s also on
\noffer. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:35:37,900 –> 00:35:40,900
\nAnd then Peter says, there’s a
\ncrown of Lori, first Peter, <\/p>\n
663
\n00:35:40,900 –> 00:35:43,900
\nfather’s, full.
\nAnd then we’ve read about from <\/p>\n
664
\n00:35:43,900 –> 00:35:46,600
\nJesus that he wants to give us a
\nCrown of Life. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:35:47,200 –> 00:35:50,200
\nAnd again, Paul says, there’s a
\ncrown of Rochester so I can’t if<\/p>\n
666
\n00:35:50,200 –> 00:35:53,800
\nthese Five Crowns that I’m
\nexpecting, so no wonder he’s <\/p>\n
667
\n00:35:53,800 –> 00:35:57,000
\ncoming with many crowns.
\nSo all of these ideas just <\/p>\n
668
\n00:35:57,000 –> 00:36:00,500
\nunlocking by listening for The
\nEchoes buying by remembering <\/p>\n
669
\n00:36:00,500 –> 00:36:03,600
\nwhat we’ve read in the rest of
\nscripture and I hope through <\/p>\n
670
\n00:36:03,600 –> 00:36:07,300
\nthat Illuminating the spiritual
\ntruth that is contained in a <\/p>\n
671
\n00:36:07,308 –> 00:36:09,600
\npassage that we may have just
\nviewed as predictive. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:36:10,000 –> 00:36:13,200
\nAs a fulfillment when the Lord
\nJesus Christ returns but that <\/p>\n
673
\n00:36:13,200 –> 00:36:19,300
\nhas value for us today.
\nSo let’s do some a different <\/p>\n
674
\n00:36:19,300 –> 00:36:20,600
\napproach.
\nWe’re going to do some drawing <\/p>\n
675
\n00:36:20,600 –> 00:36:22,900
\nbut we’re not going to.
\nWell, you have got a pencil and <\/p>\n
676
\n00:36:22,908 –> 00:36:24,900
\na piece of paper.
\nExcellent, good, good Bible <\/p>\n
677
\n00:36:24,900 –> 00:36:26,900
\nstudent.
\nSo at least you’ve got one that <\/p>\n
678
\n00:36:26,900 –> 00:36:31,200
\ncan participate in this.
\nSo, Because I forgot to give you<\/p>\n
679
\n00:36:31,200 –> 00:36:34,100
\nhomework Bulls, very good.
\nHe gives you a homework and my <\/p>\n
680
\n00:36:34,100 –> 00:36:35,900
\nhomework would have been simple,
\njust bring a pen and paper. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:36:36,200 –> 00:36:40,600
\nSo we have over here, Revelation
\nChapter 4, verses 1 to 4, a bit <\/p>\n
682
\n00:36:40,600 –> 00:36:43,100
\nof a long.
\nPassage I do, except it’s on the<\/p>\n
683
\n00:36:43,100 –> 00:36:46,500
\nlimit of even my ability to take
\noff the page. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:36:46,700 –> 00:36:48,700
\nSo here we have a picture, very
\nwell-known picture. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:36:48,700 –> 00:36:51,700
\nThe throne room scene.
\nIt’s often called that beautiful<\/p>\n
686
\n00:36:51,800 –> 00:36:55,800
\nscene of Glory that is pictured
\nfor us in Revelation 4. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:36:55,800 –> 00:36:58,500
\nSo what I want to do is I’m
\ngoing to read it to or two times<\/p>\n
688
\n00:36:58,500 –> 00:37:00,800
\ntwice twice.
\nWe have to And then, if you have<\/p>\n
689
\n00:37:00,800 –> 00:37:04,200
\ngot a pen and paper, you can
\nactually fast it, will let you <\/p>\n
690
\n00:37:04,200 –> 00:37:05,600
\ncheat.
\nYou can even start drawing while<\/p>\n
691
\n00:37:05,600 –> 00:37:08,600
\nI’m reading because we have got
\nTom constraints, and then I want<\/p>\n
692
\n00:37:08,600 –> 00:37:10,000
\nyou to quickly draw up, what you
\nsee. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:37:10,200 –> 00:37:14,900
\nNow, the idea of drawing is a
\npassage or a vision is not to <\/p>\n
694
\n00:37:14,900 –> 00:37:17,900
\npresent it to anybody else.
\nSo if you like me and you have <\/p>\n
695
\n00:37:17,900 –> 00:37:21,400
\nno artistic skill, this is not
\nfor you to prove that you are a <\/p>\n
696
\n00:37:21,400 –> 00:37:23,200
\ncloset artist.
\nYou can go to the training <\/p>\n
697
\n00:37:23,200 –> 00:37:26,000
\ncourses if you want to get that
\nto come out, this is purely for <\/p>\n
698
\n00:37:26,000 –> 00:37:30,400
\nyou in the process of drawing to
\nstart perhaps the In details <\/p>\n
699
\n00:37:30,400 –> 00:37:32,700
\nthat you hadn’t seen before.
\nSo you can start drawing one. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:37:32,700 –> 00:37:35,900
\nI read it’s read the passage
\nafter these things are looked <\/p>\n
701
\n00:37:35,900 –> 00:37:41,300
\nand beheld, a door standing open
\nin heaven and the first voice <\/p>\n
702
\n00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:43,000
\nwhich I heard was like a
\ntrumpet. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:37:43,000 –> 00:37:46,500
\nSpeaking with me saying, come up
\nhere and I will show you things <\/p>\n
704
\n00:37:46,500 –> 00:37:49,300
\nwhich must take place after this
\nimmunity. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:37:49,300 –> 00:37:54,200
\nI was in the spirit and behold a
\nthrone set in heaven and one sat<\/p>\n
706
\n00:37:54,200 –> 00:37:58,400
\non the throne and he who set
\nthere was like a Jasper and a <\/p>\n
707
\n00:37:58,408 –> 00:38:02,400
\nsociety, a stone in Appearance.
\nAnd there was a rainbow around <\/p>\n
708
\n00:38:02,400 –> 00:38:06,100
\nthe throne and appearance, like
\nan emerald around the throne <\/p>\n
709
\n00:38:06,100 –> 00:38:11,100
\nwere twenty-four Thrones and on
\nthe Thrones are sought 24 <\/p>\n
710
\n00:38:11,100 –> 00:38:15,700
\nElders, sitting clothed in white
\nrobes and they had crowns of <\/p>\n
711
\n00:38:15,700 –> 00:38:20,300
\ngold on their heads.
\nI’ll go a little bit further and<\/p>\n
712
\n00:38:20,300 –> 00:38:25,200
\nthe throne proceeded a lightning
\nthunder, and voices seven lamps <\/p>\n
713
\n00:38:25,200 –> 00:38:29,100
\nof fire were burning Before the
\nThrone which are the seven <\/p>\n
714
\n00:38:29,100 –> 00:38:31,700
\nspirits.
\nIt’s of God Before. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:38:31,700 –> 00:38:34,300
\nThe Throne there was a sea of
\nglass like Crystal and in the <\/p>\n
716
\n00:38:34,308 –> 00:38:37,000
\nmidst of the throne and around
\nabout The Throne were four <\/p>\n
717
\n00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:39,700
\nliving creatures, full of eyes
\nin front. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:38:39,900 –> 00:38:42,500
\nAnd in the back I’m going to
\nread it one more time to give <\/p>\n
719
\n00:38:42,500 –> 00:38:45,300
\nyou a bit more time to draw
\nbecause it is quite a bit of <\/p>\n
720
\n00:38:45,300 –> 00:38:47,900
\ndetail.
\nI’m going to leave out the first<\/p>\n
721
\n00:38:47,900 –> 00:38:50,900
\npart when he scored, he comes
\nthrough a door. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:38:51,300 –> 00:38:54,600
\nCome up here.
\nSee more verse 2 immediately. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:38:54,600 –> 00:38:58,300
\nI was in the spirit and behold a
\nthrone was set in heaven and one<\/p>\n
724
\n00:38:58,300 –> 00:39:01,500
\nsat on the throne.
\nHugh said they was like Jasper <\/p>\n
725
\n00:39:01,500 –> 00:39:04,000
\nand the Saudi has done an
\nappearance and there was a <\/p>\n
726
\n00:39:04,000 –> 00:39:07,000
\nrainbow around the throne and
\nappearance, like an emerald <\/p>\n
727
\n00:39:07,200 –> 00:39:09,400
\naround the throne were
\ntwenty-four Thrones and on the <\/p>\n
728
\n00:39:09,408 –> 00:39:13,400
\nThrones I saw 24 Elders sitting
\nclothed in white robes and they <\/p>\n
729
\n00:39:13,400 –> 00:39:15,800
\nhad crowns of gold on their
\nheads. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:39:17,300 –> 00:39:20,300
\nAnd from the throne proceeded
\nLightnings thunderings and <\/p>\n
731
\n00:39:20,300 –> 00:39:24,300
\nvoices seven lamps of fire were
\nburning Before the Throne which <\/p>\n
732
\n00:39:24,300 –> 00:39:27,800
\nare the seven spirits of God.
\nBefore the Throne, there was a <\/p>\n
733
\n00:39:27,800 –> 00:39:31,300
\nsea of glass like Crystal and in
\nthe middle of the throne and <\/p>\n
734
\n00:39:31,300 –> 00:39:34,300
\naround the throne were four,
\nliving creatures, full of ours <\/p>\n
735
\n00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:37,500
\nin front and in back.
\nAnd if you join very quickly, <\/p>\n
736
\n00:39:37,500 –> 00:39:40,700
\none was like a lion.
\nThe second was like a cough, the<\/p>\n
737
\n00:39:40,700 –> 00:39:44,200
\nthird had the face of a man, and
\nthe fourth was a flying eagle. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:39:45,300 –> 00:39:46,800
\nNow, that’s quite a long
\npassage. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:49,600
\nAnd the first thing that I’ve
\nlearned is I’m not necessarily <\/p>\n
740
\n00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:53,300
\ninterested in my drawing being
\nperfect and capturing every <\/p>\n
741
\n00:39:53,300 –> 00:39:56,100
\ndetail that’s in that passage.
\nWhat I am interested in is what <\/p>\n
742
\n00:39:56,100 –> 00:39:59,400
\nremains in my mind, that I heard
\nthat, I’d like to draw as I’m <\/p>\n
743
\n00:39:59,400 –> 00:40:01,300
\ndrawing.
\nI’m also interested that when <\/p>\n
744
\n00:40:01,300 –> 00:40:04,900
\nI’m drawing, there’s certain
\ndetail that I’m not sure of was <\/p>\n
745
\n00:40:04,900 –> 00:40:07,100
\nthat in the passage, is that
\ndetail there because I’m trying <\/p>\n
746
\n00:40:07,100 –> 00:40:09,800
\nto draw it and I don’t quite
\nknow how to draw it and that may<\/p>\n
747
\n00:40:09,800 –> 00:40:14,500
\nmake me go back and have a look.
\nAnd in those details are perhaps<\/p>\n
748
\n00:40:14,500 –> 00:40:16,400
\nthe ways in.
\nWhich we see something missing <\/p>\n
749
\n00:40:16,800 –> 00:40:18,800
\nor something that stands out for
\nus. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:40:19,000 –> 00:40:21,200
\nSo some of you may have been
\nable to draw something. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:40:21,200 –> 00:40:24,400
\nSo I’m not going to ask you to
\npresent your drawing to us <\/p>\n
752
\n00:40:24,400 –> 00:40:26,500
\nalthough I’m sure some of you
\ngot some beautiful pictures. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:40:26,900 –> 00:40:29,700
\nI’m going to show you some
\npictures and and you’ll see how <\/p>\n
754
\n00:40:29,700 –> 00:40:32,100
\ndifferent they may be from what
\nyou’ve done. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:40:32,500 –> 00:40:35,800
\nSo here’s a picture that I got
\noff the internet of that Vision.<\/p>\n
756
\n00:40:36,200 –> 00:40:38,200
\nDoes that look similar to any
\nother ones that anybody who did <\/p>\n
757
\n00:40:38,200 –> 00:40:39,400
\ndraw look?
\nNot at all? <\/p>\n
758
\n00:40:40,100 –> 00:40:41,700
\nAll right.
\nNow interestingly enough, it <\/p>\n
759
\n00:40:41,707 –> 00:40:43,100
\ndoesn’t make yours wrong.
\nWell there’s right. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:40:43,100 –> 00:40:45,400
\nAnd they may have some details
\nthat may not be quite Correct <\/p>\n
761
\n00:40:45,400 –> 00:40:48,300
\nwith the way it’s written.
\nBut the point is whoever drew <\/p>\n
762
\n00:40:48,300 –> 00:40:51,200
\nthat I can see and I don’t even
\nknow it is that there’s a <\/p>\n
763
\n00:40:51,200 –> 00:40:52,800
\ncertain word that caught their
\nattention. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:40:53,600 –> 00:40:56,400
\nWhat would you think that might
\nbe all right. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:40:56,400 –> 00:41:00,200
\nAnd they’ve captured them on on
\nthe circular nature of the <\/p>\n
766
\n00:41:00,200 –> 00:41:03,600
\nthrone room, which by the way is
\nvery interesting if you haven’t <\/p>\n
767
\n00:41:03,600 –> 00:41:07,300
\nthought about this because
\nclearly the throne room has all <\/p>\n
768
\n00:41:07,400 –> 00:41:12,300
\nof the Echoes of the Tabernacle
\nand what is one of the defining <\/p>\n
769
\n00:41:12,300 –> 00:41:13,800
\nfeatures of the Tabernacle and
\nTemple? <\/p>\n
770
\n00:41:15,900 –> 00:41:18,600
\nOh my goodness, that’s got my
\nattention. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:23,600
\nThe throne room looks round and
\ncircular and yet the pattern of <\/p>\n
772
\n00:41:23,600 –> 00:41:27,000
\nit on Earth, the Tabernacle the
\ntemple was fourfold Square. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:29,800
\nAnybody has an answer for that?
\nI don’t come and tell me that. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:41:30,100 –> 00:41:34,300
\nAll right?
\nYes, another picture, very <\/p>\n
775
\n00:41:34,300 –> 00:41:37,800
\ninteresting details.
\nAll right, focusing on lots of <\/p>\n
776
\n00:41:37,800 –> 00:41:42,000
\nours, on the on the four
\ncreatures and their your 24 <\/p>\n
777
\n00:41:42,000 –> 00:41:45,500
\nElders, coming through their
\nemphasis on the door. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:49,400
\nPerhaps lovely idea.
\nYou start drawing this picture <\/p>\n
779
\n00:41:49,400 –> 00:41:53,000
\nand you, and you draw that door
\nthat John is pulled up through. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:41:53,900 –> 00:41:58,400
\nAnd then there is my picture.
\nI must confess, I did my <\/p>\n
781
\n00:41:58,400 –> 00:42:01,100
\npicture, and then, I did say to
\nmy wife, please Icon present <\/p>\n
782
\n00:42:01,100 –> 00:42:03,700
\nthat, so, He took my picture and
\nshe might look a little bit <\/p>\n
783
\n00:42:03,700 –> 00:42:04,200
\nmore.
\nBeautiful. <\/p>\n
784
\n00:42:04,200 –> 00:42:06,000
\nI don’t roll like that either.
\nThat’s my wife. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:42:06,000 –> 00:42:09,000
\nShe’s incredible artist.
\nSo so I think sir. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:42:09,600 –> 00:42:11,600
\nSo here is the picture that I
\ndrew. <\/p>\n
787
\n00:42:12,000 –> 00:42:14,600
\nAnd and what I want to show you
\nin that picture in the drawing <\/p>\n
788
\n00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:18,300
\nof my picture, the two things
\nthat became my focus and there’s<\/p>\n
789
\n00:42:18,300 –> 00:42:21,000
\nso many things and this is just
\nthe, the approach of the <\/p>\n
790
\n00:42:21,000 –> 00:42:23,600
\nmethodology, two things that
\nreally Drew my attention and <\/p>\n
791
\n00:42:23,600 –> 00:42:26,700
\nmaybe they are quite reflected
\nour that one. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:42:27,400 –> 00:42:33,700
\nThe seven lamps before before
\nthe Roan and and we’ll talk a <\/p>\n
793
\n00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:35,700
\nbit about why that Drew my
\nattention. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:42:35,700 –> 00:42:38,600
\nBut that was wow, I hadn’t
\nreally noticed that these seven <\/p>\n
795
\n00:42:38,600 –> 00:42:41,800
\nlamps, this lamp stand, as it
\nwere right in front of the <\/p>\n
796
\n00:42:41,808 –> 00:42:44,000
\nthrone.
\nAnd then the other thing that <\/p>\n
797
\n00:42:44,000 –> 00:42:46,900
\nDrew my attention I’ve already
\nmentioned, is this idea of an <\/p>\n
798
\n00:42:46,900 –> 00:42:50,400
\nopen door?
\nSo so now my meditation focused <\/p>\n
799
\n00:42:50,400 –> 00:42:53,500
\nthrough the act of drawing some
\nthings out there, and there’s a <\/p>\n
800
\n00:42:53,500 –> 00:42:56,400
\nspiritual truth that I want to
\ngo and understand a bit more. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:42:56,700 –> 00:42:58,200
\nSo let’s take that a bit further
\nthen. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:43:00,600 –> 00:43:02,900
\nJust through the door,
\nunderstanding, Zoom thick. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:43:02,900 –> 00:43:05,600
\nWhat do we know before we even
\nget into any detail? <\/p>\n
804
\n00:43:05,800 –> 00:43:07,200
\nYou know what’s so amazing
\nabout? <\/p>\n
805
\n00:43:07,200 –> 00:43:10,500
\nThis is for John to see this
\npicture of Glory. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:43:10,700 –> 00:43:14,200
\nHe just had to come through a
\ndoor, there was a door in time <\/p>\n
807
\n00:43:14,200 –> 00:43:18,400
\nand space that revealed to him,
\nwhat it would seem luck, the <\/p>\n
808
\n00:43:18,400 –> 00:43:22,800
\nEarth reconciled to its God in
\nglory, to me, that’s phenomenal.<\/p>\n
809
\n00:43:22,800 –> 00:43:26,700
\nWhat an inspiration just from
\nthat through the door of time <\/p>\n
810
\n00:43:26,700 –> 00:43:29,300
\nand space weights the day of
\nGlory, your kingdom, come your <\/p>\n
811
\n00:43:29,300 –> 00:43:31,500
\nwill be done on Earth.
\nAs it is in heaven, you know, <\/p>\n
812
\n00:43:31,500 –> 00:43:34,500
\nsometimes in my daily life and
\nI’m sure you are the same. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:43:34,900 –> 00:43:39,600
\nIt seems so much further away.
\nThings are going wrong, I seem <\/p>\n
814
\n00:43:39,600 –> 00:43:42,900
\nlike I’m surrounded by
\nimmorality and sending it starts<\/p>\n
815
\n00:43:42,900 –> 00:43:46,500
\nwith me, actually, and that door
\nand that vision of the Kingdom <\/p>\n
816
\n00:43:46,500 –> 00:43:49,400
\nseems so far away.
\nAnd yet, John in chapter 4. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:43:49,400 –> 00:43:53,700
\nAnd Jesus talking to us as it’s
\nonly a doorway only as far as <\/p>\n
818
\n00:43:53,700 –> 00:43:55,200
\nthat door that you hear
\nknocking. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:43:55,400 –> 00:43:58,400
\nI’m standing at a time knocking.
\nI want to come in and share this<\/p>\n
820
\n00:43:58,400 –> 00:44:01,400
\nGlory with you.
\nSo that’s To me a wonderful <\/p>\n
821
\n00:44:01,500 –> 00:44:03,700
\noverall understanding but let’s
\ntalk about the focus, very <\/p>\n
822
\n00:44:03,700 –> 00:44:06,600
\nbriefly.
\nThis is what caught my <\/p>\n
823
\n00:44:06,600 –> 00:44:09,500
\nattention.
\nHebrews Nan says, for a <\/p>\n
824
\n00:44:09,500 –> 00:44:12,900
\ntabernacle was prepared.
\nThis image, The Echoes of the <\/p>\n
825
\n00:44:12,900 –> 00:44:17,500
\nTabernacle all over Revelation,
\nchapter 4 was prepared. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:44:17,500 –> 00:44:22,300
\nThe first part of which was the
\nlampstand, the seven lamps, the <\/p>\n
827
\n00:44:22,300 –> 00:44:24,200
\ntable of the showbread, which is
\ncalled the sanctuary. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:44:24,200 –> 00:44:27,700
\nAnd behind the second Veil, the
\npart of the Tabernacle, which is<\/p>\n
829
\n00:44:27,707 –> 00:44:31,400
\ncalled the holiest of all, which
\nhad the golden censer and the <\/p>\n
830
\n00:44:31,400 –> 00:44:35,400
\nArk of the Covenant, which we
\ncome to know from the Psalms is,<\/p>\n
831
\n00:44:35,600 –> 00:44:39,300
\nVery Throne of God.
\nAnd so here in Hebrews Paul is <\/p>\n
832
\n00:44:39,300 –> 00:44:44,300
\nsaying as we know that it did,
\nit wasn’t right in front, it <\/p>\n
833
\n00:44:44,300 –> 00:44:46,400
\nwasn’t front, but it was
\nseparated by avail. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:44:47,600 –> 00:44:53,100
\nAnd because of that separation
\nonly once a year, Only once a <\/p>\n
835
\n00:44:53,100 –> 00:44:57,000
\nyear could one man, go and stand
\nBefore the Throne. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:44:58,400 –> 00:45:03,100
\nBut in Revelation chapter fall.
\nThe holiest place the place of <\/p>\n
837
\n00:45:03,100 –> 00:45:07,000
\nthe throne is full of people or
\nat least what seems to be <\/p>\n
838
\n00:45:07,000 –> 00:45:10,300
\nrepresentation of people.
\nThere are the 24 Elders, they <\/p>\n
839
\n00:45:10,308 –> 00:45:12,800
\nare the four beasts and they’re
\npraising and they all in the <\/p>\n
840
\n00:45:12,800 –> 00:45:17,700
\nholiest place and the lampstand
\nwhich which we know represents <\/p>\n
841
\n00:45:17,700 –> 00:45:21,100
\nthe certainly in Revelation.
\nThe churches represents us is <\/p>\n
842
\n00:45:21,100 –> 00:45:25,200
\nnot separated, it’s right there,
\nright in front of the throne, <\/p>\n
843
\n00:45:26,200 –> 00:45:28,100
\nwhat an incredible spiritual
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:45:28,100 –> 00:45:32,300
\nThis is that this is true.
\nThey’re indeed. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:45:33,700 –> 00:45:38,200
\nWe have boldness to enter the
\nholiest by the blood of Jesus, <\/p>\n
846
\n00:45:38,800 –> 00:45:42,900
\nthat Jesus has turned the
\nholiest of all from a lonely <\/p>\n
847
\n00:45:42,900 –> 00:45:47,100
\nplace to a family place from a
\nplace. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:45:47,100 –> 00:45:51,200
\nWhere only one man could go to a
\nplace where all of us can go <\/p>\n
849
\n00:45:52,100 –> 00:45:55,000
\nthat he’s opened that door that
\nhe’s torn, that Veil. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:45:55,300 –> 00:45:59,100
\nWow, what a privilege to be able
\nto enter into the holiest today,<\/p>\n
851
\n00:45:59,300 –> 00:46:01,000
\nin communion with you.
\nMy Lord. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:46:01,400 –> 00:46:04,100
\nThank you for opening such an It
\nabout door. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:46:05,200 –> 00:46:08,300
\nSo as I go out into the day and
\nI look at how I can apply this <\/p>\n
854
\n00:46:08,300 –> 00:46:12,700
\ninto my everyday Living, Well,
\nit becomes obvious that not only<\/p>\n
855
\n00:46:12,700 –> 00:46:17,100
\ndo I have to be aware that as I
\nface challenges in my life as I <\/p>\n
856
\n00:46:17,100 –> 00:46:20,600
\nface these other crowns and the
\ndim the vision of the Kingdom <\/p>\n
857
\n00:46:20,600 –> 00:46:23,300
\nbecomes dim that day of Glory.
\nThat I know that it’s just a <\/p>\n
858
\n00:46:23,308 –> 00:46:27,000
\ndoorway that if I commune with
\nhim he’ll bring me to that place<\/p>\n
859
\n00:46:27,000 –> 00:46:29,500
\nof Glory.
\nI can experience that that <\/p>\n
860
\n00:46:29,500 –> 00:46:33,300
\nfeeling that is described in
\nRevelation, chapter 4 and more. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:46:33,400 –> 00:46:37,600
\nMorton V is that he’s done?
\nThe work, he’s broken the veil <\/p>\n
862
\n00:46:37,700 –> 00:46:40,100
\nand how often in our spiritual
\nlives. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:46:40,200 –> 00:46:43,500
\nEither, we are putting things to
\nseparate ourselves from God, or <\/p>\n
864
\n00:46:43,500 –> 00:46:46,900
\nother people are other people
\nare putting conditions by which <\/p>\n
865
\n00:46:46,900 –> 00:46:50,000
\nyou might break bread and be in
\ncommunion other people are <\/p>\n
866
\n00:46:50,000 –> 00:46:53,500
\nputting conditions, how you
\nshould communicate with God, and<\/p>\n
867
\n00:46:53,500 –> 00:46:56,200
\nhow you should have a
\nrelationship with him and all he<\/p>\n
868
\n00:46:56,200 –> 00:46:59,400
\nwas doing was to try and take
\naway those barriers. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:46:59,600 –> 00:47:03,200
\nThose whales those curtains that
\neither, we’re putting in place <\/p>\n
870
\n00:47:03,500 –> 00:47:07,500
\nOr others are putting in place
\nand to me that is inspiring to <\/p>\n
871
\n00:47:07,500 –> 00:47:09,700
\nknow that there is no separation
\nanymore. <\/p>\n
872
\n00:47:09,800 –> 00:47:14,800
\nThere is no dividing wall, there
\nis no Veil that seven lamp that <\/p>\n
873
\n00:47:14,800 –> 00:47:18,400
\nlamp stands, stands her up
\nbefore the throne because of <\/p>\n
874
\n00:47:18,400 –> 00:47:21,400
\nwhat he has achieved.
\nSo I hope in some small way <\/p>\n
875
\n00:47:21,400 –> 00:47:24,000
\nwe’ve been able to see how we
\ncan take these passages. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:47:24,400 –> 00:47:28,600
\nSome might say completely out of
\ncontext and meditate on them and<\/p>\n
877
\n00:47:28,600 –> 00:47:33,100
\nsee how they can bring us to
\nworship and change and reveal to<\/p>\n
878
\n00:47:33,100 –> 00:47:34,800
\nus.
\nSpiritual truths that can impact<\/p>\n
879
\n00:47:34,800 –> 00:47:37,700
\nour daily living.
\nI had intended to bring you a <\/p>\n
880
\n00:47:37,700 –> 00:47:41,800
\nbike but I would never do a but
\nany justice in the time that <\/p>\n
881
\n00:47:41,900 –> 00:47:45,700
\nremains so I will leave you so
\nthat we can get a but next door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
