\nbanquet, which king ahasuerus <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:05,700 –> 00:01:10,400
\nshows to hold for all the world.
\nFirst of all, thanks very much <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:10,400 –> 00:01:15,500
\nfor having us here Susanna my
\nwife and little Mariah. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:15,600 –> 00:01:18,700
\nShe’s just about one so she’s
\nprobably talking to us <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:19,100 –> 00:01:23,100
\nthroughout the session.
\nThis afternoon, we’ve never been<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:23,100 –> 00:01:25,900
\nhere before at least I haven’t.
\nSo, it’s a very beautiful <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:25,900 –> 00:01:27,500
\ncountry.
\nSo thank you very much for <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:33,500
\nhaving us flying into Calgary
\nand into Kelowna. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:34,300 –> 00:01:38,200
\nYesterday was very nice but like
\nNew Zealand, so made us feel at <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:38,200 –> 00:01:40,800
\nhome.
\nWe’re living at the moment in <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:40,800 –> 00:01:45,000
\nLos Angeles and for those of you
\nwho have been to Los Angeles, As<\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:49,400
\nyou know, that it’s a hideous,
\nhorrible part of the world. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:55,500
\nIt really isn’t what you call
\nthe scenic center of the world. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:55,500 –> 00:01:58,600
\nIs it?
\nAnd in fact, we live, we live <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:58,600 –> 00:02:02,400
\nright where the 10 freeway by
\nsix, the 405 freeway. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:05,200
\nSo it’s right.
\nIt’s right in the heart of <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:05,500 –> 00:02:09,900
\ndowntown Los Angeles and we kind
\nof say to ourselves that if Los <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:09,900 –> 00:02:15,700
\nAngeles is the the armpit of
\nAmerica then We live right? <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:15,700 –> 00:02:20,800
\nIn the biggest Sweet Pork.
\nThis is not a nice place but <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:20,800 –> 00:02:25,000
\nit’s very nice to be here and to
\nbe here in Canada. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:26,700 –> 00:02:29,100
\nWell, we get to spend the week
\ntogether, looking at the story <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:29,100 –> 00:02:34,700
\nof Esther and it is a fantastic
\ndrama as I’m sure all of you <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:34,700 –> 00:02:39,600
\nknow, it’s really a magnificent
\nstory. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:43,500
\nIt’s one of those stories that
\nappeals to to all ages. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:43,500 –> 00:02:47,600
\nWe’ve got the fair Fabulously
\nwealthy King and thrown down the<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:52,700
\ncastle in the hill.
\nWe’ve got the extraordinarily, <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:52,700 –> 00:02:56,700
\nbeautiful captive girl, who’s
\nplucked from obscurity and made <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:56,700 –> 00:03:00,500
\nqueen of all the Earth.
\nWe’ve got her humble cousin <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:00,500 –> 00:03:05,300
\nwho’s made prime minister.
\nAnd lurking in the shadows. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:05,300 –> 00:03:09,500
\nWe have probably the darkest in
\nvillain in all of the Old <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:09,500 –> 00:03:15,600
\nTestament Haman the agagite and
\nteam tan treachery deceit and <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:18,200
\nmurder.
\nDoes it get any better than this<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:18,200 –> 00:03:21,400
\nbrothers and sisters?
\nEverything is here in the story.<\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:21,600 –> 00:03:24,900
\nFrom chapter to chapter, we’re
\ngoing to Lurch from extravagant <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:24,900 –> 00:03:29,800
\nfeasts to evil plots.
\nWe’re going to move from beauty <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:34,100
\npageants to assess a nation
\nattempts from Secret messages in<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:36,900
\nthe night to dramatic, expose
\nAce. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:38,000 –> 00:03:39,900
\nIt’s the kind of book that you
\ndon’t want to put down. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:39,900 –> 00:03:42,900
\nIt’s it’s got everything.
\nThe it’s love versus hate. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:42,900 –> 00:03:48,600
\nIt’s just seats versus honesty.
\nIt’s Evil versus righteousness. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:52,400
\nAnd hopefully brothers and
\nsisters as we go through this <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:52,400 –> 00:03:53,600
\nweek.
\nTogether, we’re going to be <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:53,600 –> 00:03:55,000
\nlikewise on the edge of their
\nseats. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:59,800
\nAs we look at the amazing.
\nTruly amazing way in which God <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:04,300
\nis able to save his Nation, how
\nhe’s able to pluck, as it were <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:04,300 –> 00:04:08,300
\nlife in Deliverance from the
\nvery jaws of death and defeat <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:09,500 –> 00:04:11,600
\nAnd you know, brothers and
\nsisters, the story of Easter, <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:16,300
\nand the Book of Esther is really
\nall about the Providence of God.<\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:17,600 –> 00:04:21,700
\nThat whatever comes God cares
\nfor his people. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:27,200
\nWe know that the quote in Romans
\n8 don’t we all things work <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:27,200 –> 00:04:30,800
\ntogether for good.
\nFor those who love God and it’s <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:33,100
\nreally, if you like a banner
\nthat we could put over the top <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:36,300
\nof the Book of Esther.
\nIt’s all about how God is <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:36,300 –> 00:04:41,400
\nworking to bring together.
\nThe called ones for his purpose.<\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:43,100 –> 00:04:47,600
\nAnd your brothers and sisters in
\na book that simply throbs of the<\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:51,100
\nProvidence of God and him
\nworking amongst the nation’s. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:57,000
\nDid you know that the name of
\nGod never appears in the Book of<\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:00,700
\nEsther?
\nThe name of God never appears in<\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:00,707 –> 00:05:04,000
\nthe Book of Esther.
\nWe don’t have a single title of <\/p>\n
73
\n00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:07,500
\nGod.
\nWe have no mention of God and we<\/p>\n
74
\n00:05:07,500 –> 00:05:12,100
\ndon’t even have a mention of
\nprayer to God in the Book of <\/p>\n
75
\n00:05:12,100 –> 00:05:14,400
\nEsther.
\nIt’s amazing. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:05:14,400 –> 00:05:16,900
\nReally isn’t it that absent from
\nthis book? <\/p>\n
77
\n00:05:17,900 –> 00:05:22,500
\nIt seems on the surface is the
\ngod who really is the center of <\/p>\n
78
\n00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:25,100
\nthe book.
\nWhy is that brother and sister <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:28,100
\nas well?
\nIt’s because this is the book of<\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:28,300 –> 00:05:33,100
\nProvidence and what is
\nProvidence and lease, it be, the<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:33,100 –> 00:05:40,900
\nUnseen hand of of God at work
\njust look at these couple of <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:40,900 –> 00:05:44,100
\nreferences from from the Old
\nTestament to illustrate what I <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:44,100 –> 00:05:47,800
\nmean, This is Deuteronomy
\nchapter 31. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:48,900 –> 00:05:52,600
\nIn the it sees, Yahweh said unto
\nMoses, behold. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:52,900 –> 00:05:58,600
\nThou shalt sleep with my
\nfather’s and I will hide my face<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:58,900 –> 00:06:03,100
\nfrom them since Jeremy, 31
\nverses 16 to 18. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:07,800
\nSo that they will say in that
\nday, not these evils come upon <\/p>\n
88
\n00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:11,200
\nus because their God is not
\namong us. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:06:12,100 –> 00:06:17,000
\nAnd I will surely hide my face
\nand that day for all the evils, <\/p>\n
90
\n00:06:17,000 –> 00:06:20,000
\nwhich they still have wrought in
\nthat, they are turned unto other<\/p>\n
91
\n00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:22,900
\ngods and they Winston they
\nbrother and sisters into <\/p>\n
92
\n00:06:22,900 –> 00:06:27,100
\ncaptivity because of idolatry
\nbecause they turned to other <\/p>\n
93
\n00:06:27,100 –> 00:06:32,200
\ngods and God sees you do that
\nand I will hide my face from <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:32,200 –> 00:06:36,100
\nyou.
\nIsaiah 45 verses, 15 to 17 there<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:36,100 –> 00:06:40,900
\nat a God that Heidi’s thyself o
\nGod of Israel. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:41,600 –> 00:06:45,300
\nThe savior, they shall be
\nashamed and also confounded, but<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:45,300 –> 00:06:49,800
\nIsrael shall be saved in the
\nLord within Everlasting <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:49,800 –> 00:06:53,400
\nsalvation.
\nYe shall not be ashamed nor <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:57,600
\nconfounded World Without End and
\nGod was going to be a God who <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:57,900 –> 00:07:02,000
\nwas going to hide himself and
\nwhere was he going to be hidden <\/p>\n
101
\n00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:07,200
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nBut he sees he’s the god that <\/p>\n
102
\n00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:11,800
\nhides himself.
\nOh, god of Israel and amongst <\/p>\n
103
\n00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:14,700
\nthe captives in Persia.
\nThere was a God who was hiding <\/p>\n
104
\n00:07:14,700 –> 00:07:19,300
\nhimself in the story.
\nThe god of the nation of Israel.<\/p>\n
105
\n00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:22,800
\nAnd so in the Book of Esther, we
\nhave the Unseen work of the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:27,600
\nsavior of Israel, it’s hidden as
\nit were to the Casual Observer <\/p>\n
107
\n00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:31,700
\nto those who are in ignorance or
\nin darkness of how God works. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:07:32,800 –> 00:07:35,600
\nBut not to us, brothers and
\nsisters to us. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:39,500
\nGod, simply jumps off the page,
\nalmost out of Erie versus will <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:43,400
\nsee, you know, it’s interesting
\nwhy we are here and talking <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:43,400 –> 00:07:47,900
\nabout the name of God and Easter
\nby way of introduction it’s not <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:47,900 –> 00:07:49,900
\nentirely true.
\nIs it to say that the name of <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:49,900 –> 00:07:52,700
\nGod doesn’t occur in Easter?
\nBecause as some of you will know<\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:52,900 –> 00:07:58,300
\nthe name of God does occur in
\nEaster, but it appears across <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:01,700
\nStickley.
\nWhat’s an acrostic by the way? <\/p>\n
116
\n00:08:01,700 –> 00:08:07,700
\nCan anyone Enlighten the group?
\nNo. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:08:07,700 –> 00:08:09,800
\nAll right.
\nLet me let me help you an <\/p>\n
118
\n00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:14,600
\nacrostic really as we’re a word
\nor a sentence will start with <\/p>\n
119
\n00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:19,000
\nsuccessive letters of the
\nalphabet and the word Yahweh or <\/p>\n
120
\n00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:20,500
\nat least the constants of
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:08:20,500 –> 00:08:25,300
\nGoing to be found in the Book of
\nEsther four times, two times, <\/p>\n
122
\n00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:29,200
\ngoing forwards and two times
\ngoing backwards hidden in the <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:29,200 –> 00:08:31,700
\ntext and it’s in these words
\nhere if you don’t have a note of<\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:31,707 –> 00:08:36,500
\nthem, you can take them down.
\nIt’s 1:20 when it says all the <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:36,500 –> 00:08:41,799
\nwives I shall give unto their
\nhusbands, the honor debts, do <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:42,299 –> 00:08:48,600
\n5:4.
\nLet the king and Haman come 5:13<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:49,600 –> 00:08:52,100
\npayments.
\nHe’s you know, this availeth <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:52,100 –> 00:08:58,000
\nmean nothing and lastly in 7:7
\nHeyman said dear he saw that <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:58,000 –> 00:09:02,100
\nthere was evil determined
\nagainst him by the king. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:09:03,000 –> 00:09:07,100
\nAnd the companion Bible comments
\non this and appendix number 60 <\/p>\n
131
\n00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:09,500
\nand he’s endured the writer of
\nthe companion. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:09:09,500 –> 00:09:11,400
\nBy will see.
\nIs that in the Book of Esther? <\/p>\n
133
\n00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:15,800
\nGod is known more by his
\nvirtues, then by open <\/p>\n
134
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:20,200
\nmanifestation, he’s hidden he’s
\nhe’s secretly embedded in the <\/p>\n
135
\n00:09:20,200 –> 00:09:22,300
\nbook and look at those little
\nphrases weathers. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:09:22,300 –> 00:09:25,600
\nThis is, don’t you think that
\nthat perfectly sums up the Book <\/p>\n
137
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:29,100
\nof Esther?
\nIt’s all about the bride. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:32,300
\nThat’s going to give honor to
\nher husband. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:33,800 –> 00:09:38,400
\nIt’s about the king and Haman
\ncoming to a banquet Feast. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:39,800 –> 00:09:44,100
\nIt’s all about haman’s Pride.
\nAll the surveillance mean <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:44,100 –> 00:09:47,900
\nnothing.
\nAnd it’s all about the <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:47,900 –> 00:09:53,700
\ndestruction of sin payments saw
\nthat there was evil determined <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:53,700 –> 00:09:57,400
\nagainst him by the king.
\nAnd to give those four little <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:57,400 –> 00:10:01,100
\nsimple statements summarize for
\nus in a certain way. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:10:01,100 –> 00:10:07,400
\nThe theme of the book of Esther
\nTrivia question for you. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:10:07,600 –> 00:10:09,200
\nThere is one other book
\nactually. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:13,900
\nIn the, the entire Bible that
\ndoesn’t have the name of God in <\/p>\n
148
\n00:10:13,900 –> 00:10:16,000
\nit.
\nDoes anyone know what that book?<\/p>\n
149
\n00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:20,300
\nMight be any guesses.
\nAnother book that doesn’t have <\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:20,300 –> 00:10:25,600
\nthe name of God in it.
\nAny suggestions. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:27,100 –> 00:10:28,700
\nThere’s no prizes.
\nBy the way, I’m sorry. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:33,800 –> 00:10:37,600
\nNo one knows.
\nIt’s the book of The Song of <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:37,600 –> 00:10:41,100
\nSolomon.
\nThe Song of Solomon, all about <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:41,100 –> 00:10:45,800
\nthe marriage of a bride to her
\nhusband. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:47,200 –> 00:10:49,600
\nWell, I want to say a few words
\nabout our approach to these to <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:53,100
\nthese studies because most of
\nyou have probably been in the <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:53,100 –> 00:10:57,500
\ntruth long a lot longer than me.
\nSo all of us pretty well know <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:57,500 –> 00:11:00,800
\nthe story of Easter, we know the
\neven the flow of the narrative, <\/p>\n
159
\n00:11:00,800 –> 00:11:05,500
\nwe all came here to this week
\nknowing that at the end Haman <\/p>\n
160
\n00:11:05,500 –> 00:11:09,200
\ndies and Mordecai is really
\ngoing to win. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:09,700 –> 00:11:13,200
\nWe all know that before we came
\nhere and we probably knew as <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:13,200 –> 00:11:16,900
\nwell that there was a kind of
\ntypical aspect to the book. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:17,100 –> 00:11:21,900
\nThat there was a typed lurking
\nin the shadows and so this week,<\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:21,900 –> 00:11:24,500
\nwe really want to try and limit
\nourselves to not going over the <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:24,500 –> 00:11:27,800
\nbasics of the story, but Pets
\ndrawing out a few lessons. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:28,100 –> 00:11:31,800
\nAnd I want to concentrate pets.
\nA little more than usual on The <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:31,900 –> 00:11:35,600
\nMarvelous type hidden in in the
\nBook of Esther because you know,<\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:38,200
\nbrothers and sisters I think by
\nthe end of the week, you are <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:43,700
\ngoing to be astounded astounded
\nwith what’s hidden in the type <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:43,700 –> 00:11:46,700
\nof the Book of Esther.
\nThe Perfection of it. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:52,100
\nIt’s just what seems like a very
\nsimple story and yet the type is<\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:52,100 –> 00:11:56,100
\nsimply incredible, you know,
\nI’ve heard some people say that <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:56,100 –> 00:12:02,100
\nthey even doubt that there is a
\ntype in the Book of Esther and <\/p>\n
174
\n00:12:03,200 –> 00:12:05,800
\nother people who say, well,
\nthere is a type in the Book of <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:05,800 –> 00:12:08,100
\nEsther, we know that.
\nAnd but you’ve really got to <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:08,100 –> 00:12:13,100
\ntake that with a pinch of salt.
\nBecause the subs, the, the <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:13,100 –> 00:12:16,400
\nshadow doesn’t prove the
\nsubstance of And you type <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:20,500
\ndoesn’t prove itself and, but
\nbrothers and sisters, you are <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:20,500 –> 00:12:24,000
\ngoing to see during the week
\nthat the type in the book of <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:27,600
\nEaster is astounding.
\nAnd we’re going to see it in our<\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:31,100
\nsession this afternoon as we go
\nthrough chapter one, some things<\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:31,100 –> 00:12:35,600
\nthat hopefully I hope even if
\nyou’ve read the book of Esther, <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:35,700 –> 00:12:38,400
\nall your life and been to Bible
\nschools, we’ve heard talks on <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:40,100
\nthe Book of Esther.
\nYou’re going to learn something <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:40,100 –> 00:12:45,400
\nnew this afternoon.
\nSo, please come now to the <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:45,500 –> 00:12:48,000
\nbackground and I want to say
\njust a few words about the <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:48,000 –> 00:12:52,400
\nbackground to the Book of Esther
\nbecause it’s notoriously <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:52,400 –> 00:12:54,400
\ndifficult.
\nAnd if you’ve ever tried to sit <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:58,600
\ndown on, you know, an empty
\nFriday or Saturday night, and <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:02,700
\ngot the books off the library
\nshelf and tried to nut out the <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:02,700 –> 00:13:07,500
\nchronology of the Persian kings,
\nyou will know that trying to fit<\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:11,800
\ntogether the Persian kings and
\nNehemiah and Ezra nest. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:14,100
\nIt is of notoriously difficult
\nthing to do. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:14,700 –> 00:13:16,900
\nThere’s a lot of naughty
\nproblems when we come to this <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:16,900 –> 00:13:20,500
\npart of the Bible and you know,
\nis preparing these talks I was <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:23,500
\nvery determined to come to the
\nbottom of this problem because I<\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:23,500 –> 00:13:26,800
\nreally dislike it when people
\nstand up and and say well it <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:26,800 –> 00:13:29,100
\ncould be this, it could be that
\nit could be this and that and I <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:29,108 –> 00:13:32,500
\nreally don’t know.
\nSo make up your own minds. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:35,500
\nThis is this is why we’re here
\nis to get some definitive <\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:35,500 –> 00:13:38,400
\nanswers.
\nSo I really tried to come up <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:41,300
\nwith exactly who a has you Eris
\nwas. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:41,300 –> 00:13:47,400
\nBut you know what, But I’m 95%
\nsure but I’m not going to be <\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:50,500
\ncompletely dog, Medics.
\nSo we’re not going to go into <\/p>\n
205
\n00:13:50,500 –> 00:13:52,600
\nthe Persian kings and
\nchronology. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:54,100
\nNow I’m going to have mercy upon
\nyou. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:54,100 –> 00:13:56,200
\nIt is just after lunch after
\nall. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:57,500 –> 00:14:00,400
\nBut I will say this that if you
\nhave stayed up late at night and<\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:04,500
\ntry to figure out the chronology
\nof the Persian kings, then I’m <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:04,500 –> 00:14:06,300
\nsure you’ll agree with me that a
\nhas. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:06,300 –> 00:14:13,400
\nYou Eris is Xerxes the first And
\nnot to rise Heist ESPYs or art <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,800
\nexhibits is the second.
\nNow if you have a slightly <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:16,800 –> 00:14:19,500
\ndifferent point of view, I’m not
\ngoing to kick you out of the <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:19,500 –> 00:14:23,400
\ncamp and but I would be very
\ninterested if you have looked at<\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:23,400 –> 00:14:26,400
\nthat part of the Bible to come
\nand talk to me during the week <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:26,400 –> 00:14:31,000
\nand give me your thoughts
\nbecause I’m I’m almost there but<\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:31,300 –> 00:14:35,200
\nand I have a lot of a lot of
\nreasons but I’m not 100% sure. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:35,200 –> 00:14:37,700
\nSo if you can provide that
\nMissing Link, I’d be greatly <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:37,700 –> 00:14:41,100
\nappreciative.
\nSo Xerxes, the first, and he <\/p>\n
220
\n00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:45,700
\nreigned from.
\nFrom 486 2465, I’m going to be <\/p>\n
221
\n00:14:45,700 –> 00:14:48,900
\nthis close to being dogmatic
\nabout that for your sakes. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:14:49,100 –> 00:14:53,600
\nAll right, so now we come and
\nchapter 12, the story of the <\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:57,200
\nking, and we’re confronted with
\nreally the picture of a <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:57,200 –> 00:15:00,700
\nmagnificent King.
\nWhen we come to Esther chapter <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:00,700 –> 00:15:04,400
\n1, and this is what we read in
\nverses 1 and 2. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:05,100 –> 00:15:08,900
\nNow, it came to pass in the days
\nof a, has you Eros? <\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:09,500 –> 00:15:12,800
\nThis is a hedge awareness, which
\nreigned from India even unto <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:12,800 –> 00:15:15,300
\nEthiopia over a hundred and
\nseven. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:15,300 –> 00:15:19,400
\nAnd twenty provinces have in
\nthose days when the king <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:19,400 –> 00:15:22,900
\nahasuerus set on the throne of
\nhis kingdom, which was in shoe, <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:22,900 –> 00:15:27,400
\nsend the palace, and then it
\ngoes on, and we’re given the <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:27,400 –> 00:15:31,800
\npicture of an extremely powerful
\nmonarch. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:35,900
\nNow, most of us know that I has
\nyou Eris is really a title. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:36,000 –> 00:15:42,400
\nIt’s not a name, it’s a bit like
\nfear or has our end and in the <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:42,400 –> 00:15:46,900
\nthe original language it means
\nvenerable King actually just <\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:46,900 –> 00:15:53,200
\nsenior see is it means Lion
\nKing, And so, because it’s a <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:53,208 –> 00:15:57,300
\ntitle and not a name here.
\nIn verse 1, the writer of <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:57,300 –> 00:16:00,500
\nEastern, we don’t know who that
\nwas, is it pains to tell us <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:00,800 –> 00:16:04,900
\nwhich a has weirdest, which
\nvenerable, Lion King? <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:04,900 –> 00:16:11,100
\nThis was he reigned from India
\nto Ethiopia and you can maybe <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:11,100 –> 00:16:15,000
\ntake a note, but both of those
\nplaces India and Ethiopia were <\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:15,000 –> 00:16:20,800
\nconquered by Kemp Isis.
\nIndia was conquered in 525, BC. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:26,300
\nAnd Ethiopia in 523.
\nIt’s about 30 years before <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:26,600 –> 00:16:30,200
\nXerxes, the first, in fact, the
\nConquering of Ethiopia was in <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:34,700
\nfulfillment wasn’t of that.
\nGreat prophecy in Isaiah 45, and<\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:34,700 –> 00:16:38,000
\nverse 14.
\nI will give you Ethiopia for a <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:38,000 –> 00:16:40,600
\nposition so we’re given a little
\nheads-up. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:40,600 –> 00:16:45,100
\nWe as to who a has serious was
\nand you reigned over at Sears in<\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:45,100 –> 00:16:50,600
\nhundred and seven and twenty
\nprovinces Now, no likelihood. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:50,600 –> 00:16:57,500
\nThis was the 120 provinces that
\nmade up the the great Empire of <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:57,500 –> 00:17:01,000
\nBabylon that we read of and in
\nDaniel 6 in verse one and <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:05,599
\nprobably tacked onto that was
\nthe seven provinces of the seven<\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:05,599 –> 00:17:09,599
\nprinces that we read of and in
\nEsther chapter 1 and verse 14. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:09,599 –> 00:17:15,000
\nSo 120 provinces of Babylon,
\nDaniel 6 verse 1, plus the seven<\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:20,000
\nprovinces of the seven princes
\nof seven, great Royal families <\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:20,300 –> 00:17:24,099
\nin 1:14 and we have 127
\nprovinces. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:25,700 –> 00:17:28,700
\nAnd it sees, doesn’t it brothers
\nand sisters in verse 2 that de <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:28,700 –> 00:17:32,200
\nright there.that.
\nA has you Eris reigned from a <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:37,100
\nplace called shushan?
\nThe Palace in shushan means the <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:37,100 –> 00:17:42,400
\ncity of white lilies.
\nIt was a beautiful place and had<\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:43,900
\na river flowing through the
\nmiddle. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:43,900 –> 00:17:47,200
\nAnd it was a very a very
\nbeautiful place to live and <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:51,800
\nwe’re told that shushan was the
\ncapital of the Persian Empire <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:52,200 –> 00:17:55,300
\nafter the reign of Darius.
\nHi Steph. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:55,500 –> 00:17:58,700
\nBees before it was somewhere
\nelse. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:59,100 –> 00:18:03,500
\nBut after the rice ice test
\nbecause it was in Susa or <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:03,500 –> 00:18:06,100
\nshushing.
\nNow, I have a couple pictures of<\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:06,100 –> 00:18:07,900
\nshushan to so we can wake
\nourselves up. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:12,300
\nSo actually, did I miss
\nsomething? <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:14,600
\nI think I did.
\nI think I did. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:15,500 –> 00:18:17,600
\nLet’s just backtrack one second.
\nThen we’ll come to the pictures <\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:19,600
\nof shoe shame.
\nSo we talked about the <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:22,600
\nbackground and the work and the
\ntype, that’s an estimate. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:22,900 –> 00:18:27,100
\nAnd look at this, this is a
\nsummary of how broad the type of<\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:27,100 –> 00:18:29,300
\nEaster is we’re going to see as
\nwe go through the week. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:29,600 –> 00:18:32,800
\nThe work that God is performing
\nin Israel. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:18:33,100 –> 00:18:36,000
\nThrough the law of Moses were
\ngoing to see that today, we’re <\/p>\n
278
\n00:18:36,000 –> 00:18:38,100
\ngoing to see God’s work with the
\njin-tae. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:18:38,200 –> 00:18:44,200
\nI’ll through the power of grace
\nand favor, the the gospel of <\/p>\n
280
\n00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:47,800
\nelection we’re going to see the
\nsacrifice of Christ that brought<\/p>\n
281
\n00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:50,400
\ndeliverance and joy to all the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:50,900 –> 00:18:53,600
\nWe’re going to see at the end of
\nEaster, the subduing of the <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:53,600 –> 00:18:56,500
\nnations in the battle of
\nArmageddon in the Conquering of <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:56,500 –> 00:19:01,200
\nEurope, we’re going to see the
\nfinal elevation of Christ and <\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:01,200 –> 00:19:04,600
\nthe bride.
\nAnd as a theme for the week, as <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:04,600 –> 00:19:08,400
\nwe’re going to see the Triumph
\nof of the spirit over the Fish. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:10,300
\nSo the type really is very
\nbroad, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:10,308 –> 00:19:12,800
\nIt’s not just narrow, it’s going
\nto take us, right? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:12,800 –> 00:19:17,000
\nFrom the time of Israel, under
\nthe law of Moses, through the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:21,400
\ntimes of the Gentiles, the work
\nof Jesus Christ, the subjection <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:21,400 –> 00:19:24,400
\nof goguen, the battle of
\nArmageddon, the Conquering of <\/p>\n
292
\n00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:27,500
\nEurope, the final elevation of
\nthe bride. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:30,500
\nAll of that is going to be
\nprefigured in the book of <\/p>\n
294
\n00:19:30,500 –> 00:19:32,400
\nEaster.
\nAs we go through this week. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:36,100
\nSo, now let’s come to the
\npictures of shushing. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:39,800
\nThis is probably the best
\npicture you can find, or at <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:44,300
\nleast I could find of what
\nshushan the palace looked like. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:44,300 –> 00:19:47,400
\nAnd it’s very dark on the
\nscreen, so I apologize for that,<\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:51,400
\nbut maybe you can imagine that
\nin the front here is to lots of <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:51,400 –> 00:19:55,200
\nsteps leading up to a central
\nCourtyard and probably just <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:55,200 –> 00:20:00,200
\nthrew that piece right in the
\nmiddle is is where the king <\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:02,500
\nwould have set all those years
\nago. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:03,300 –> 00:20:09,000
\nThis is shushan, the palace.
\nNow this is a another picture of<\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:09,000 –> 00:20:10,900
\nthis area.
\nAnd you can see that this seems <\/p>\n
305
\n00:20:10,900 –> 00:20:14,300
\nto be like a castle up on a, on
\na hill and everybody else. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:20:14,600 –> 00:20:18,400
\nThe the general populace has is
\nspread out in this city of <\/p>\n
307
\n00:20:18,400 –> 00:20:22,800
\nshushan the lowest city below.
\nIt was a very rich and affluent <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:24,900
\nplace.
\nThese are some of the, the <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:29,400
\nornate tiles and bricks that
\nwere taken and reconstructed of <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:32,100
\none of the walls of the Palace
\nof shushan. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:32,100 –> 00:20:36,100
\nAsurs was an extraordinarily
\nwealthy King. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:40,000
\nAnd this is what it looks a bit
\nlike today. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:45,400
\nIt’s just pretty much ruins in
\nthe middle of Iran and probably <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:45,400 –> 00:20:47,800
\nthey do too.
\nIs there to show the greatness <\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:47,800 –> 00:20:52,100
\nof that Kingdom?
\nThat now is completely gone. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:52,800 –> 00:20:56,200
\nThat’s certainly win that Palace
\nstood, brothers and sisters a <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:56,200 –> 00:21:01,500
\nhas u.s. was the Undisputed king
\nof all the world and if you <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:01,500 –> 00:21:06,300
\nwalked into his courtroom
\nuninvited, you probably swung <\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:06,300 –> 00:21:10,200
\nfor it.
\nAnd if he wanted to, he had <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:14,300
\nabsolute control, didn’t the
\nother life and death. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:14,900 –> 00:21:17,800
\nHe has complete dominion over
\nall the world. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:18,900 –> 00:21:23,200
\nAnd so clearly in the story is
\nwe’re going to see although of <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:23,200 –> 00:21:26,900
\ncourse he doesn’t deserve to be
\nbecause he’s just a mortal man. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:27,500 –> 00:21:29,400
\nA his awareness is going to type
\nfor us. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:29,900 –> 00:21:34,100
\nThe mighty Monarch of the humans
\nabove our Lord, our heavenly <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:34,100 –> 00:21:38,100
\nfather, who has all power and
\nall dominion. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:39,100 –> 00:21:41,500
\nAnd we’re going to read in verse
\n3, that is going to make a Grand<\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:41,500 –> 00:21:44,400
\nBanquet and the third year of
\nhis kingdom, a has rear has <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:44,400 –> 00:21:49,600
\ndecided to hold a grand feast.
\nLet’s just read these verses <\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:53,100
\nagain because they really are
\nmagnificent verse 3. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:54,700 –> 00:21:58,200
\nIn this third year of his Reign,
\nhe made a feast unto all his <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:58,200 –> 00:22:01,700
\nprinces and his servants.
\nThe power of Persia and media, <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:05,500
\nthe Nobles and princes of the
\nprovince’s being before him when<\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:05,500 –> 00:22:10,300
\nyou showed the riches of his
\nglorious Kingdom and the honor <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:10,300 –> 00:22:15,000
\nof his excellent Majesty.
\nMany days even in hundred and <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:18,800
\nfour score days.
\nAnd when these days were <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:22,500
\nexpired, the king made a feast,
\nanother Feast unto all the <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:22,500 –> 00:22:25,800
\npeople that were present and
\nRussia and the palace both under<\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:25,800 –> 00:22:29,900
\nGreat and Small seven days in
\nthe court of the garden of the <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:29,900 –> 00:22:35,200
\nking’s Palace, We’re were white
\ngreen and blue hangings. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:35,500 –> 00:22:40,200
\nFastened with cords of fine
\nlinen and purple to Super rings <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:44,100
\nand pillars of marble.
\nThe beads were of gold and <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:44,100 –> 00:22:47,700
\nsilver upon a pavement of red
\nand blue and white and black <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:47,700 –> 00:22:51,400
\nmarble.
\nAnd they gave them drinking <\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:54,600
\nvessels of gold.
\nThe vessels being diverse one <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:54,600 –> 00:22:57,700
\nfrom another and Royal Wine in
\nabundance. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:22:57,700 –> 00:23:01,000
\nAccording to the state of the
\nking in the drinking was <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:01,000 –> 00:23:05,000
\naccording to the law.
\nNone did compel for. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:09,000
\nSo the king had appointed in all
\nthe officers of his house that <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:09,000 –> 00:23:12,100
\nthey should do.
\nAccording to Every Man’s <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:12,400 –> 00:23:17,300
\npleasure, it was a magnificent
\nfeast And you know Brothers this<\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:17,300 –> 00:23:19,700
\nis if you need to listen to
\ntalks on Easter war, read any <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:19,700 –> 00:23:24,300
\nset of notes on his to before
\nyou will find that in my <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:24,300 –> 00:23:26,900
\nexperience.
\nAll of them say that this is a <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:26,900 –> 00:23:30,600
\ntype of the Kingdom.
\nThis is the king enthroned and <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:35,100
\nGlory.
\nBut you know I’ve kind of always<\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:39,100
\nstruggled with that in a type of
\nthe Kingdom where God is <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:39,100 –> 00:23:43,200
\nenthroned in splendor and
\nMajesty. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:23:43,700 –> 00:23:46,800
\nWe’re going to have a
\ndisobedient wife. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:48,300 –> 00:23:52,000
\nAnd we’re going to start with
\nthe kingdom and then we’re going<\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:57,000
\nto kind of jump back and get
\ninto the story of Haven and <\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:00,700
\nEsther and Mordecai but we kind
\nof started at the end. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:01,900 –> 00:24:05,000
\nAnd it’s always kind of made me
\nthink well, maybe maybe there’s <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:08,600
\nsomething more to this story and
\nI’m going to suggest to you <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:08,600 –> 00:24:14,500
\ntoday that versus 328 is not so
\nmuch the future glory of the <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:14,500 –> 00:24:20,300
\nKingdom.
\nBut it’s really talking to us <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:20,300 –> 00:24:26,400
\nhistorically about what God did
\nwith the nation of Israel when <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:26,400 –> 00:24:32,100
\nhe set them up as a kingdom a
\nkingdom of Kings and Priests and<\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:32,100 –> 00:24:34,300
\nyou know there’s a clue that
\nthat’s true. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:35,000 –> 00:24:39,300
\nAnd the clue is that in the
\nEaster chapter 1, The Feast the <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:39,300 –> 00:24:41,800
\nfeast in time is going to last
\nfor how long? <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:42,500 –> 00:24:47,500
\nBut we’re told out we 180 days
\nverse 4, And when those days <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:47,500 –> 00:24:50,100
\nwere expired, another seven
\ndays. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:50,100 –> 00:24:58,200
\nSo we have 187 days of feasting.
\nNow, the first thing you do is <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:58,200 –> 00:25:02,400
\nyou look at the concordance and
\nyou find it, 187 only occurs <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:02,400 –> 00:25:05,700
\nhere.
\nSo we’re no further on. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:05,700 –> 00:25:09,500
\nBut do you know that it’s not
\nactually the only place where <\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:09,500 –> 00:25:14,900
\n186, even occurs, I want you to
\ncome if you will back to Exodus <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:14,900 –> 00:25:21,300
\nand chapter 19.
\nWhat’s is the one really about? <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:27,300 –> 00:25:30,500
\nWell, I want you to hold your
\nhand and he said, and I want you<\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:30,500 –> 00:25:35,300
\nto have Easter in one hand and
\nexodus 19 and the other hand <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:39,000
\nbecause we’re going to talk
\nabout the grand Feast of Easter <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:39,000 –> 00:25:43,600
\nchapter 1, and we’re going to
\nmake a comparison between Esther<\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:48,100
\nchapter 1 and the grand Feast
\nthat God is going to hold for <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:48,100 –> 00:25:51,700
\nthe nation in the wilderness.
\nIt’s in the story of Exodus and <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:51,700 –> 00:25:56,500
\nLeviticus And here we are in
\nExodus 19. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:59,700
\nSo let me run through it with
\nyou on the screen and you can <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:59,900 –> 00:26:04,600
\ntake notes as you will.
\nSo in Esther chapter 1 and verse<\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:04,600 –> 00:26:09,600
\n38 has awareness held a banquet
\nto celebrate the newness of his <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:12,300
\nkingdom.
\nHe’s only just put down a <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:12,300 –> 00:26:15,800
\nrevolt.
\nAnd now, his newly established <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:15,800 –> 00:26:18,000
\nas king.
\nHe’s only in this third year and<\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:18,000 –> 00:26:20,600
\nit’s going to hold a banquet
\nfeast. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:21,200 –> 00:26:26,900
\nAnd when we come to Exodus, 19,
\nIn verse 6, God has newly taken <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:26,900 –> 00:26:30,300
\nIsrael out of Egypt.
\nAnd he is going to hold a <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:30,300 –> 00:26:34,400
\nbanquet feast in the wilderness
\nand make them his kingdom of <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:40,100
\npriests and a holy nation.
\nThey were constituted a kingdom <\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:40,100 –> 00:26:45,000
\njust recently Well, the first
\nbanquet in verse 3 tells us was <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:48,800
\nfor all the nobility and the
\naristocracy that called The <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:48,800 –> 00:26:52,300
\nNobles, and the princes in
\nshushan the palace. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:52,900 –> 00:26:58,700
\nAnd when we come over to Exodus
\nand chapter 24, just over two or<\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:58,700 –> 00:27:02,200
\nthree chapters we find in verse
\n1. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:02,200 –> 00:27:07,400
\nThat God said to Moses come up
\nunto Yahweh there and Aaron <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:07,400 –> 00:27:11,700
\nNader, been a buyer who end the
\n70 of the Elders of Israel. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:12,200 –> 00:27:15,500
\nVerse 9, and Moses and Aaron and
\nNative in a, by, who in the 70 <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:15,500 –> 00:27:19,500
\nof the Elders of Israel went up
\nto a special Feast with God. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:22,000 –> 00:27:25,400
\nIt wasn’t an extravagant pellas,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:28,900
\nIt was in God’s pelas on the top
\nof Mount Sinai. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:30,300 –> 00:27:34,900
\nAnd it’s is in Esther chapter 1,
\nverse 3, that at this Feast, <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:38,900
\nthey were before the king, and
\nthe word in the Hebrew really <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:38,900 –> 00:27:44,400
\nmeans that they saw his face.
\nThey were before his presence. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:45,300 –> 00:27:48,900
\nAnd, you know, I’m going to
\nsuggest to you that seeing, the <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:51,800
\nKings face was a very rare
\nevent. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:52,300 –> 00:27:56,900
\nWe know that in chapter 1, verse
\n14, the seven Chamberlain’s, the<\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:56,900 –> 00:28:01,900
\nseven wise men, they saw the
\nKings face, no one else did, It <\/p>\n
416
\n00:28:01,900 –> 00:28:06,300
\nwas very rare to see the Kings
\nface but at this banquet, all <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:06,300 –> 00:28:10,800
\nthe people present, saw the
\nKings face and an exodus 20:4. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:10,800 –> 00:28:14,800
\nLook what we read in verse 10
\nand they saw the god of Israel <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:14,800 –> 00:28:16,800
\nverse 11.
\nAlso. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:17,300 –> 00:28:24,100
\nThey saw God this was a very,
\nvery special banquet indeed. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:25,300 –> 00:28:28,600
\nWe find an Esther chapter 1 and
\nverse 4 that the feast lasted <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:35,100
\n180 days and probably why it
\nlasted so long was because all <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:35,100 –> 00:28:37,300
\nthe Army chiefs were going to
\ncome in, but you couldn’t bring <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:37,300 –> 00:28:41,200
\nall of them in at once because
\nthe perimeter of the implant <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:41,200 –> 00:28:45,100
\nneeded to be kept secure, so you
\nwould rotate them in to the <\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:48,700
\nbanquet in shushan.
\nSo the feast took longer than <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:48,700 –> 00:28:51,000
\nusual.
\nIt was 180 days. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:51,400 –> 00:28:54,800
\nAnd I’m going to suggest to you
\nbrothers and sisters, then the <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:54,800 –> 00:29:00,700
\nperiod of building.
\nThe Tabernacle took exactly 180 <\/p>\n
430
\n00:29:00,700 –> 00:29:02,700
\ndays.
\nWhen you look at those <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:07,800
\nreferences in Exodus chapter 19,
\nverse 1, 24 verse 18, 34 verse, <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:07,800 –> 00:29:12,200
\n28, and 40 verse 2.
\nIt tells us pretty much that <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:12,200 –> 00:29:17,300
\nthere was exactly six months
\ninvolved in building the <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:17,300 –> 00:29:21,700
\nTabernacle.
\nSo the first Feast for those His<\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:21,700 –> 00:29:26,000
\nskills and who were the
\naristocracy in the nobles was <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:26,000 –> 00:29:30,000
\nthe feast that God held in the
\nwilderness building the <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:32,800
\nTabernacle.
\nAnd it says an Easter that a has<\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:37,200
\nrear showed them the riches of
\nhis glorious Kingdom and the <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,700
\nhonor offers.
\nExcellent majesty. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:39,800 –> 00:29:41,400
\nAnd you know what?
\nBrother and sisters, you know <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:41,400 –> 00:29:44,900
\nwhat, the Tabernacle was, it was
\nright in the center of the <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:44,900 –> 00:29:51,800
\nnation to show them the honor
\nand the Majesty of God, it tells<\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:51,800 –> 00:30:00,100
\nus that in some 96 verse 6 and
\n145 verse 11 to 13 The <\/p>\n
444
\n00:30:00,100 –> 00:30:05,200
\nTabernacle or the century was to
\nshow Israel, the honor and the <\/p>\n
445
\n00:30:05,200 –> 00:30:08,200
\nMajesty of God and it’s exactly
\nwhat I had serious did. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:30:10,300 –> 00:30:13,900
\nWell the second bank with that
\nwe read of in Esther chapter one<\/p>\n
447
\n00:30:14,400 –> 00:30:18,400
\nthat lasted for only seven days
\nwas for the common people. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:20,000 –> 00:30:24,300
\nThe first banquet for 180 days
\nwas for the aristocracy, the <\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:24,300 –> 00:30:28,900
\nspecial people that was busily
\nLynn, a holier than those who <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:28,900 –> 00:30:32,500
\nare going to specially be
\nprepared by God to make the <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:32,500 –> 00:30:36,800
\nTabernacle.
\nBut now, after 180 days is <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:41,000
\nfinished, we’re going to have
\nanother Feast A Feast for seven <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:41,000 –> 00:30:43,900
\ndays in this time, it’s going to
\nbe for everyone and look what <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:43,900 –> 00:30:47,200
\nwe’re told in.
\nLeviticus, 8, and verse 3, on <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:47,200 –> 00:30:52,900
\nthe first day of the first, if I
\nthink it was the second banquet <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:52,900 –> 00:30:58,400
\nfor all the congregation was
\nheld, the seven-day consecration<\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:58,400 –> 00:31:02,600
\nof the sons of urine in God
\nsees, you get everyone outside <\/p>\n
458
\n00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:06,000
\nbefore the Tabernacle were going
\nto hold another face now for <\/p>\n
459
\n00:31:06,000 –> 00:31:11,300
\neverybody for seven days, Well,
\nassuming they face in Easter was<\/p>\n
460
\n00:31:11,300 –> 00:31:15,000
\nheld in the tent at the word
\nhangings, literally means <\/p>\n
461
\n00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:18,800
\nwarnings or draping.
\nSo it was in a tent and we know <\/p>\n
462
\n00:31:18,800 –> 00:31:23,600
\nthat the Tabernacle was just
\nsuch a thing, a tent What were <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:23,600 –> 00:31:28,000
\nthe colors that we’re involved
\nin Easter chapter 1? <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:35,000
\nWell, we’re told that they were
\nblue purple and fine white fine <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:35,000 –> 00:31:37,800
\nlinen.
\nAnd you know brothers and <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:37,800 –> 00:31:43,200
\nsisters you will search the
\nBible in vain for anywhere else <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:48,000
\nthat those three things occur
\ntogether except in one place. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:50,500 –> 00:31:54,600
\nThe colors of the Tabernacle
\nover and over and over and over <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:54,600 –> 00:31:58,200
\nagain.
\nBlue purple and white fine. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:00,400
\nLinen.
\nThis is the face brothers and <\/p>\n
471
\n00:32:00,400 –> 00:32:02,800
\nsisters of God.
\nSitting up the Tabernacle in the<\/p>\n
472
\n00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:06,800
\nwilderness, is it not?
\nThe hangings and Easter chapter <\/p>\n
473
\n00:32:06,800 –> 00:32:10,300
\n1 were held up by pillars, cords
\nand silver rings. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:32:10,500 –> 00:32:14,400
\nExactly the same as the
\nTabernacle pillars, chords <\/p>\n
475
\n00:32:14,400 –> 00:32:17,300
\nsilver rings.
\nIn fact, it’s interesting <\/p>\n
476
\n00:32:17,300 –> 00:32:20,400
\nbecause you probably can’t read
\nit down the back, but down the <\/p>\n
477
\n00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:24,100
\nbottom here, I’ve got that.
\nThe Apostle John in Revelation <\/p>\n
478
\n00:32:24,100 –> 00:32:28,600
\nquotes from Leviticus chapter 8
\nand verse 33 quotes from there <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:28,600 –> 00:32:32,600
\nin Revelation 3, those 12 and in
\nRevelation, 3, you remember <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:32,600 –> 00:32:37,300
\nthese words to him, that
\novercometh, I will make a pillar<\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:38,200 –> 00:32:41,400
\nin the house of God.
\nA pillar. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:42,300 –> 00:32:45,600
\nAnd it sees he quotes from
\nLeviticus eight, which is the <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:45,600 –> 00:32:49,700
\nvery Fist of the consecration of
\nAaron and his sons and he will <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:49,700 –> 00:32:53,800
\nknow more, go out, Because
\nthat’s exactly what here in the <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:53,800 –> 00:32:57,900
\nsons were to do it to go into
\nthe Tabernacle and for seven <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:57,900 –> 00:33:01,500
\ndays they could not come out.
\nThey were pillars in the house <\/p>\n
487
\n00:33:01,500 –> 00:33:03,600
\nof God.
\nAnd John, the Apostle John in <\/p>\n
488
\n00:33:03,600 –> 00:33:05,900
\nRevelation quotes from
\nLeviticus. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:33:06,200 –> 00:33:10,100
\nWhen he’s talking about pillars
\nbut all those things, come <\/p>\n
490
\n00:33:10,100 –> 00:33:12,000
\nstraight from the Tabernacle.
\nDo they not? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:33:14,000 –> 00:33:17,500
\nThere’s a pavement, we read in
\nverse 6 of different colors, <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:17,500 –> 00:33:21,900
\nStone in a few still.
\nIn Exodus 24, you find verse <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:21,900 –> 00:33:27,000
\nteam that there was a paved work
\nof a set, a fire stone under his<\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:27,000 –> 00:33:30,400
\nfeet.
\nThey were vessels of gold in the<\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:35,100
\nFeast of a has you are so
\ndiverse from one another and <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:35,100 –> 00:33:38,200
\nthen God’s newly-formed house,
\nthe nation of Israel. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:38,700 –> 00:33:41,300
\nThere were many diverse people,
\nbut all of them brothers and <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:41,300 –> 00:33:45,800
\nsisters were gold.
\nThey were all formed by faith. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:45,800 –> 00:33:54,300
\nThey came out of Egypt by faith.
\nAnd lastly, we find in verse 8, <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:54,300 –> 00:33:57,900
\nto Vista one that the drinking
\nwas according to the law. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:58,500 –> 00:34:03,400
\nBut none did compel what a
\nparadox that is a law that <\/p>\n
502
\n00:34:03,400 –> 00:34:08,699
\ndoesn’t compel while we read in
\nExodus 24 and verse 7. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:34:08,699 –> 00:34:12,199
\nThat all the people that were
\njoined to the law of Moses <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:12,900 –> 00:34:18,000
\nvolunteered their obedience,
\nthey said all that. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:18,000 –> 00:34:23,500
\nYahweh has said, we will do.
\nDo and be obedient, they <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:23,500 –> 00:34:27,199
\nvolunteered their obedience was
\nnot compelled of them. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:28,800 –> 00:34:32,900
\nAnd here we have the Fist and
\nhe’s the one which perfectly <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:32,900 –> 00:34:36,199
\nprefigures exactly what God has
\ndone to the nation. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:36,199 –> 00:34:40,800
\nIn the wilderness establishing
\nthe kingdom of God, in the <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:40,800 –> 00:34:44,199
\nDesert Palace of Sinai and
\neverything is just the same, <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:44,199 –> 00:34:46,600
\nisn’t it?
\nThe 187 days are the same. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:47,900 –> 00:34:52,400
\nThe colors in the finals in
\nanother same, the pillars and <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:52,400 –> 00:34:54,699
\nthe cords, and the sockets are
\nthe same. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:56,100 –> 00:35:03,400
\nAnd the nation seed, all that
\nYahweh has said, we will do and <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:03,400 –> 00:35:10,300
\nbe obedient.
\nAnd now we come to verse 9 <\/p>\n
516
\n00:35:11,200 –> 00:35:16,700
\nEaster chapter 1 and verse 9.
\nLet’s see, shall we wither the <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:17,100 –> 00:35:23,000
\nnewly-formed nation is going to
\nbe obedient that promised The <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:23,000 –> 00:35:24,400
\nObedience?
\nBut let’s see. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:25,700 –> 00:35:29,800
\nAnd in verse 9, we are
\nintroduced to the queen best. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:32,600
\nI who clearly is we’re going to
\nsee in a moment. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:32,600 –> 00:35:33,900
\nWhat is going to represent for
\nus? <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:33,900 –> 00:35:37,700
\nThe natural nation of Israel?
\nThe very Nation, let’s just <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:37,700 –> 00:35:39,500
\npromise.
\nThere are billions to God. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:40,800 –> 00:35:45,800
\nWell what was what was vest, I
\nlike vest either Queen? <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:46,800 –> 00:35:50,800
\nReally not told much about who
\nare we brothers and sisters that<\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:54,400
\nwe are given a clue in verse 9?
\nBecause, veg time means, <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:54,800 –> 00:35:58,100
\nbeautiful woman, beautiful
\nwoman. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:58,900 –> 00:36:02,400
\nNow some people say that she was
\nthe daughter of the king of <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:02,400 –> 00:36:06,600
\nsadhus others.
\nSay that she was Belle, chaises <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:06,800 –> 00:36:09,100
\ndaughter in.
\nAnd probably, if she was either <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:09,100 –> 00:36:11,000
\nof those, she was a political
\nwife. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:11,300 –> 00:36:14,200
\nShe was a wife of expediency.
\nShall we say? <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:14,200 –> 00:36:17,900
\nShe was married to two.
\nThe Peace of the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:24,000
\nBut look what it says in verse
\n9, because she seems to have a <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:24,000 –> 00:36:27,400
\nmind of her own.
\nVashti. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:27,400 –> 00:36:32,700
\nThe queen Made A Feast for the
\nwoman in the Royal house which <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:32,700 –> 00:36:37,400
\nbelonged to King ahasuerus.
\nYou know, the definite article <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:37,400 –> 00:36:40,600
\nis not there, it’s really should
\nbe that she made a feast for <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:40,600 –> 00:36:46,300
\nwomen, not for that woman for
\nwoman. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:47,500 –> 00:36:54,100
\nFor the cause of women.
\nHere is a liberal thinking and <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:54,100 –> 00:36:58,400
\nit’s clearly an attempt isn’t it
\nbrothers and sisters to usurp <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:58,800 –> 00:37:02,200
\nthe authority of the king?
\nIt was his Royal House. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:02,800 –> 00:37:08,000
\nIt belongs to him in this woman
\nis going to hold her own feast. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:10,200 –> 00:37:14,000
\nYou know, in Revelation chapter
\n19 and verse seven and eight. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:14,300 –> 00:37:16,200
\nIt’s going to describe for us a
\npicture. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:16,200 –> 00:37:22,000
\nA picture of the true wife of
\nthe bride and it says the <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:22,000 –> 00:37:27,500
\nmarriage of the Lamb is come
\ninto wife has made herself ready<\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:28,100 –> 00:37:32,300
\nand listen to these words Ends
\nto her. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:33,700 –> 00:37:38,600
\nIt shall be.
\nGranted that she should be <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:41,700
\narrayed in fine, linen, clean
\nand white. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:41,700 –> 00:37:45,300
\nIt was granted her, it was not
\nher, right. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:48,900
\nIt was not the right of the
\nBride. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:49,600 –> 00:37:55,500
\nIt was granted to her here.
\nBrothers and sisters is a woman <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:55,500 –> 00:37:58,800
\nwho does not appreciate what she
\nhas been given. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:00,000 –> 00:38:04,100
\nSo, let’s see what happens shall
\nwe verses 9 to 12 the <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:04,100 –> 00:38:08,200
\nDisobedience of veg died.
\nShe makes a face in an inverse <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:08,200 –> 00:38:11,100
\nT.
\nNazi’s on the seventh day, win <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:11,100 –> 00:38:13,500
\nthe heart of the King was merry
\nwith wine. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:14,100 –> 00:38:19,700
\nHe commanded the Hooman booster
\nharbona, big, fat and egg. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:19,700 –> 00:38:23,100
\nI beg sir, zither and caucus the
\nseven. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:23,100 –> 00:38:28,100
\nChamberlain’s that served in the
\nprison since before the face of <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:28,100 –> 00:38:31,700
\na hazy wearest.
\nThe king to bring Vesta the <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:31,700 –> 00:38:37,200
\nqueen before the king with the
\nCrown Royal to show the people <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:37,200 –> 00:38:42,100
\nin the princes who Beauty for
\nShe Was Fear to look upon but <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:42,100 –> 00:38:46,100
\nthe queen vest I refused to come
\nat the king’s commandment by his<\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:52,400
\nChamberlain’s therefore was the
\nking very wroth and his anger <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:52,800 –> 00:38:56,700
\nburned in him.
\nAnd so, on the seventh day, at <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:56,700 –> 00:39:00,100
\nthe end of the hundred and
\neighty seven days of feasting <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:03,000
\nthe king desired to bring
\nvegetable for them. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:03,100 –> 00:39:08,200
\nClearly, he was in a happy mood,
\nthe phrase Miri with want with <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:08,200 –> 00:39:11,200
\nwine.
\nIt can imply that the King was <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:11,200 –> 00:39:14,500
\ndrunk.
\nThat it imbibes a little bit too<\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:14,500 –> 00:39:18,600
\nmuch but it might not as well.
\nAnd I can give you a couple of <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:18,600 –> 00:39:23,000
\nreferences where clearly implies
\nthe drunk and clearly in a <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:23,008 –> 00:39:26,400
\ncouple of other references than
\nnot, So, we don’t know for sure.<\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:27,000 –> 00:39:30,700
\nBut clearly, his heart was Miri,
\nhe was in a cheerful frame of <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:30,700 –> 00:39:34,800
\nmind and he calls for the seven
\nChamberlain’s or Unix is the <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:34,800 –> 00:39:38,400
\nword actually means.
\nAnd he says, go and fetch vest. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:38,400 –> 00:39:41,400
\nI clearly.
\nHe wanted to show off to all the<\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:41,400 –> 00:39:43,900
\nkingdom.
\nThe crowning Jewel of the <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:43,900 –> 00:39:47,400
\nKingdom.
\nNew Proverbs chapter 12 and <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:47,400 –> 00:39:52,000
\nverse forces.
\nA virtuous woman is like a crown<\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:53,000 –> 00:39:56,900
\nto her husband.
\nYou know that strange isn’t it? <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:56,900 –> 00:40:01,700
\nYou’d think that it would say a
\nvirtuous woman is a crown to <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:01,700 –> 00:40:06,700
\nherself who virtue is who Crown?
\nBut no. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:08,200 –> 00:40:12,100
\nA virtuous woman is a crown to
\nher husband to him. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:13,300 –> 00:40:18,200
\nIt’s not her crown and now that
\nKing ahasuerus wants to bring <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:18,200 –> 00:40:21,500
\nher Ford’s.
\nHe’s going to display her for <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:21,500 –> 00:40:26,600
\nall of the world and everything
\nelse around him is inanimate. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:27,000 –> 00:40:30,200
\nIts glorious, but it doesn’t
\nhave life. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:30,700 –> 00:40:35,300
\nIt’s beautiful marble and fine
\nlinen and magnificent colors. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:36,800 –> 00:40:41,100
\nBut none of it is alive.
\nAnd now, the king wants to bring<\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:41,800 –> 00:40:44,500
\na living reflection of his glory
\nout. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:45,700 –> 00:40:47,300
\nThe Septuagint, puts it this
\nway. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:47,400 –> 00:40:54,200
\nIt sees to bring the queen to
\nhim to enthrone her and Crown <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:54,200 –> 00:41:00,100
\nher with the died in Clearly
\nwanted to show her off, you <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:00,100 –> 00:41:03,000
\nknow, some people have suggested
\nthat the King was drunk and that<\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:07,200
\nhe was asking vest.
\nI to come before, all the <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:11,100
\nraucous crowd of army Chiefs
\nwithout any clothes on? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:11,100 –> 00:41:14,200
\nI’m not sure if you’ve heard
\nthat, but I’m going to suggest <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:14,200 –> 00:41:15,600
\nto you.
\nThat, that clearly is just a <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:15,600 –> 00:41:18,600
\nJewish tradition.
\nAnd if you, if you do your <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:18,600 –> 00:41:21,600
\nresearch, you’ll find that
\nthere’s a whole lot of nasty <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:21,600 –> 00:41:24,700
\nthings that go along with that
\ntradition, none of, which are in<\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:24,700 –> 00:41:30,300
\nthe Bible, We’re not really told
\nwhy the king decided to do this.<\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:30,600 –> 00:41:35,200
\nAll we’re told is that it was
\nbecause of his wife’s Beauty, <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:35,900 –> 00:41:39,100
\nand I can understand that I have
\na wife, she’s extremely <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:39,100 –> 00:41:41,600
\nbeautiful.
\nAnd it’s nice. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:41,600 –> 00:41:43,800
\nSometimes to show off her
\nbeauty. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:44,200 –> 00:41:51,000
\nShe is, we’re working on her
\njust obedient, but that beauty. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:51,000 –> 00:41:55,800
\nShe’s not too bad.
\nSo we can understand, can’t we? <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:55,900 –> 00:41:59,500
\nIf you have a beautiful woman,
\nthe crowning Jewel of the Empire<\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:59,600 –> 00:42:01,700
\nthat the king would want to show
\nher off. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:02,900 –> 00:42:08,300
\nPsalm 45 and verse 11 says, so
\nshall the king greatly desire, <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:08,400 –> 00:42:13,000
\nthy Beauty for he is thy Lord
\nand worship their him. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:14,700 –> 00:42:20,000
\nBecause vest I was the greatest
\nliving proof of the Kings. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:20,000 –> 00:42:25,200
\nGlory, the beautiful wife that
\nperfectly was going to reflect <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:25,200 –> 00:42:29,000
\nhim and then we read in verse
\n12. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:29,400 –> 00:42:34,000
\nBut the queen vest I refused to
\ncome at the King’s Command by <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:34,000 –> 00:42:38,800
\nhis Chamberlain’s.
\nThe fall was the king very wroth<\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:39,600 –> 00:42:45,000
\nand his anger burned in him.
\nYou know, we’re not told why <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:45,100 –> 00:42:49,900
\nvest I refused to come.
\nWe’re not told what her motive <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:49,900 –> 00:42:54,500
\nwas, but clearly the king in all
\nthe Chamberlain’s saw it as an <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:54,500 –> 00:43:00,300
\nact of Disobedience to her Lord,
\nverse 15, describes it as a <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:00,300 –> 00:43:04,900
\nblatant Act of rebellion.
\nVerse 19 says, it was a <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:04,900 –> 00:43:08,300
\ndeliberate Act of contempt.
\nVerse 26. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:08,300 –> 00:43:10,600
\nThat was a calculated Act of
\nDishonor. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:11,400 –> 00:43:15,800
\nVerse 22 says it was an act of
\nflagrant disregard for the Kings<\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:15,800 –> 00:43:20,600
\nAuthority.
\nAnd 2:4 says that it was an ex <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:20,600 –> 00:43:24,200
\nthat did not please the king.
\nIt doesn’t matter. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:24,400 –> 00:43:26,800
\nDoes it brother and sisters?
\nWhy vest I didn’t come? <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:26,800 –> 00:43:33,300
\nWe’re not told what we are told
\nis that verse 17 this deed of <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:33,300 –> 00:43:37,000
\nthe queen, it’s what she did.
\nIt’s not why she did it. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:37,600 –> 00:43:40,100
\nIt’s what she did.
\nAnd you know, brothers sisters. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:40,100 –> 00:43:41,900
\nIt’s going to be like that for
\nall of us. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:42,800 –> 00:43:48,200
\nWe’re not going to be judged
\nnecessarily for are motives are <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:48,200 –> 00:43:51,500
\ngoing to be judged.
\nFor what we have done was the <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:51,500 –> 00:43:54,800
\nsame in the Garden of Eden.
\nWhen God judged the serpent, you<\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:54,800 –> 00:43:59,700
\nhave done this regardless of his
\nmotives and it’s exactly the <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:59,700 –> 00:44:01,800
\nsame when our Lord Jesus Christ
\nreturns, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:06,000
\nAnd sticking of Corinthians 5
\nappear before the Judgment seat <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:06,000 –> 00:44:10,700
\nand receiving are body.
\nAccording to what we have done <\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:11,500 –> 00:44:16,600
\nwith a good, For bed.
\nAnd what vest I did was clearly <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:17,100 –> 00:44:20,700
\ndisobedient that a type of
\nIsrael after the flesh. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:21,700 –> 00:44:25,900
\nIsrael is a nation that
\nblatantly rebelled in was <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:26,500 –> 00:44:30,800
\ncontemptuous of God’s
\nrequirements and nation that <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:30,800 –> 00:44:34,500
\nflagrantly disregarded, his law.
\nAnd look at clear, this is I <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:34,508 –> 00:44:37,600
\nwant you to come to Ezekiel and
\nchapter 16. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:38,700 –> 00:44:41,800
\nIt’s just read a couple of
\nverses here in Ezekiel 16 and <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:41,800 –> 00:44:45,300
\nthen go through this before we
\nfinish, because Vesta is the <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:45,300 –> 00:44:47,700
\nperfect type of disobedient,
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:48,900 –> 00:44:52,400
\nLook what it says in Ezekiel 16
\nin verse 8. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:53,800 –> 00:44:58,200
\nNow, when I pass by thee and
\nlooked upon the behold, by time <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:58,200 –> 00:45:02,100
\nwas the time of love and I
\nspread my skirt over the way, I <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:02,100 –> 00:45:06,400
\nswear unto the in entered into a
\ncovenant, with the says the Lord<\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:06,400 –> 00:45:12,000
\nGod and now the keenest mine
\nIsrael was God’s wife. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:12,100 –> 00:45:15,400
\nI wash you with water.
\nI thoroughly washed away your <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:15,400 –> 00:45:19,800
\nblood, I anointed you with oil.
\nI clothed you with broided work <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:19,800 –> 00:45:23,100
\nand shun shortly with badges
\nskins. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:45:23,300 –> 00:45:25,500
\nThat was on top of a Tabernacle
\nin. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:45:25,500 –> 00:45:27,600
\nGood of the about with fine
\nlinen. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:45:27,600 –> 00:45:31,100
\nI covered the with silk.
\nI dick you out with ornaments, I<\/p>\n
663
\n00:45:31,100 –> 00:45:33,600

\nbeautiful. <\/p>\n

\nAnd that is Prosper into a
\nkingdom. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:54,700 –> 00:45:58,700
\nAnd thy Renown went forth among
\nthe Heathen for they Beauty and <\/p>\n

\nit was perfect through, they
\ncoming this, which I had put <\/p>\n
672
\n00:46:02,000 –> 00:46:10,100
\nupon thee, saith the Lord, God,
\nBut dad’s trust in thine own <\/p>\n
673
\n00:46:10,100 –> 00:46:15,500
\nBeauty and played the Harlot.
\nThis is natural Israel. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:46:15,500 –> 00:46:18,900
\nAnd by the time we come to
\nEzekiel 21, God is going to say,<\/p>\n
675
\n00:46:18,900 –> 00:46:24,600
\ntake off the crown, remove the
\ndiadem, let it not be. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:46:25,900 –> 00:46:30,000
\nThis shall not be the same.
\nSo let’s have a look. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:46:30,000 –> 00:46:32,100
\nShall we at the Disobedience of
\nvest? <\/p>\n
678
\n00:46:32,100 –> 00:46:39,000
\nI as a type of natural Israel,
\nthis tie was the King’s first <\/p>\n
679
\n00:46:39,100 –> 00:46:44,100
\nwife and Israel was clearly
\nGod’s first wife. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:46:44,500 –> 00:46:48,900
\nJeremiah 31 sees, I wasn’t
\nhusband and to her. <\/p>\n

\n00:46:50,500 –> 00:46:54,000
\nBest Buy was known for her
\nbeauty in Esther chapter 1 and <\/p>\n
682
\n00:46:54,000 –> 00:46:57,000
\nverse 11, and we’ve just read in
\nEzekiel 16. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:46:57,000 –> 00:47:00,700
\nThat better Israel was exceeding
\nbeautiful. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:47:01,300 –> 00:47:04,900
\nThe renowned went forth among
\nthe Heathen for the beauty, she <\/p>\n

\nShe was supposed to be a <\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:10,700 –> 00:47:17,500
\nreflection of her Lord.
\nAnd God expected, Israel, didn’t<\/p>\n
687
\n00:47:17,500 –> 00:47:22,000
\nhe to be a perfect reflection of
\nhimself, Isaiah 43. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:22,000 –> 00:47:26,600
\nIn verse 7, says, I have created
\nIsrael for my glory. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:47:26,900 –> 00:47:29,900
\nIsrael is supposed to reflect
\neverything that was glorious <\/p>\n
690
\n00:47:29,900 –> 00:47:34,300
\nabout God.
\nHe has a rear center Fitch vest.<\/p>\n

\nDays, Brothers and Sisters God <\/p>\n

\nStephen days of the consecration<\/p>\n
696
\n00:48:03,400 –> 00:48:07,300
\nof the priests they were
\nsupposed to come out and be the <\/p>\n
697
\n00:48:07,300 –> 00:48:10,100
\nperfect reflection of God
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:48:10,800 –> 00:48:13,000
\nThe crowning Glory of his
\nkingdom. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:48:13,800 –> 00:48:17,100
\nAnd Leviticus 9 verse 6 is the
\nglory of Yahweh is going to <\/p>\n
700

\nBut their star refused to come. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:48:24,600 –> 00:48:28,800
\nWhat is that a type of brothers
\nand sisters the refusal of vest <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:28,800 –> 00:48:34,900
\nI to come except it be made are
\nbanned by who who offered <\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:34,900 –> 00:48:39,000
\nStrange Fire?
\nWhich God commanded them not <\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:39,800 –> 00:48:44,400
\nthey were disobedient.
\nThey did not reflect God’s <\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:44,400 –> 00:48:48,200
\ngoodness or his mercy, and they
\nwere a type of prototype weren’t<\/p>\n
706
\n00:48:48,200 –> 00:48:51,100
\nthey of the whole of the nation
\ndown through time. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:48:51,300 –> 00:48:55,400
\nWho was going to refuse to come?
\nRefuse to hear. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:48:55,600 –> 00:49:00,000
\nJeremiah 13 verse 11 says, but
\nthey would not here. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:49:01,100 –> 00:49:06,200
\nThe nation was just like Nate
\nabandoned by who and what <\/p>\n
710
\n00:49:06,200 –> 00:49:08,400
\nhappens in a debit to buy her
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:49:09,200 –> 00:49:12,500
\nWell it season Easter chapter 1,
\nthat a heads you Eris was very <\/p>\n
712
\n00:49:12,500 –> 00:49:16,200
\nRock and his anger burned within
\nhim. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:49:16,700 –> 00:49:18,600
\nWhat do you think it sees that
\nbrothers and sisters that he was<\/p>\n
714
\n00:49:18,600 –> 00:49:24,300
\nvery wroth and his anger burned
\nwithin him? <\/p>\n
715
\n00:49:25,700 –> 00:49:30,200
\nExcept it be a reference to
\nGod’s fire. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:49:30,200 –> 00:49:33,900
\nThat came out of human and
\ndestroyed need ebony by her for <\/p>\n
717
\n00:49:33,900 –> 00:49:36,600
\ntheir presumption in their
\nDisobedience right? <\/p>\n
718
\n00:49:37,000 –> 00:49:40,500
\nAt the very time when God wanted
\nthem to reflect his glory. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:49:41,600 –> 00:49:43,400
\nAnd down through time, brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:49:44,100 –> 00:49:47,000
\nWe won’t look these references
\nup, but it says in second <\/p>\n
721
\n00:49:47,000 –> 00:49:50,500
\nchronicles 36 that God sent
\nMessengers like the <\/p>\n
722
\n00:49:50,500 –> 00:49:54,100
\nChamberlain’s, he sent
\nMessengers, he sent Messengers <\/p>\n
723
\n00:49:55,200 –> 00:50:00,200
\nand they would not listen, they
\nwould not come and it says in <\/p>\n
724
\n00:50:00,200 –> 00:50:04,100
\nsecond chronicles, 36, and verse
\n16, God was Roth. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:50:05,800 –> 00:50:12,100
\nAnd he burned up their City,
\nMatthew chapter 22 and verse 7 <\/p>\n
726
\n00:50:13,000 –> 00:50:15,900
\nin that parable, about those who
\ndid not come to the wedding <\/p>\n
727
\n00:50:15,900 –> 00:50:19,600
\nFeast when it comes to Matthew
\n27, and just a moment. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:50:20,400 –> 00:50:26,100
\nSo vest, I clearly types for us,
\nthe nation that had sworn the <\/p>\n
729
\n00:50:26,100 –> 00:50:29,600
\nallegiance, they were obedience
\nat the foot of Mount Sinai and <\/p>\n
730
\n00:50:29,600 –> 00:50:34,900
\nyet, exactly, 187 days later,
\nthey come out, will they refused<\/p>\n
731
\n00:50:34,900 –> 00:50:38,000
\nto come out rather and reflect
\nGod’s glory. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:50:38,000 –> 00:50:42,900
\nThey pour shame and dishonor and
\ncontempt upon God. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:50:44,500 –> 00:50:47,300
\nYou know, if you didn’t think
\nbrothers and sisters that <\/p>\n
734
\n00:50:47,300 –> 00:50:51,700
\nDisobedience was Israel’s
\nproblem, look at this Joshua <\/p>\n
735
\n00:50:51,700 –> 00:50:55,800
\nfive, they’re consumed because
\nthey obeyed not the voice of <\/p>\n
736
\n00:50:55,800 –> 00:51:00,600
\nYahweh, sick and simulate.
\nThe people refused to obey the <\/p>\n
737
\n00:51:00,600 –> 00:51:04,500
\nvoice of Samuel.
\nIsaiah 42 verse 24 for, they <\/p>\n
738
\n00:51:04,500 –> 00:51:08,100
\nwould not walk in his ways.
\nNeither were, they obedient unto<\/p>\n
739
\n00:51:08,100 –> 00:51:10,100
\nhis Lord?
\nAnd look at this, classic one <\/p>\n
740
\n00:51:10,100 –> 00:51:13,800
\nin, Durham i-22.
\nBut now since I will not, Not <\/p>\n
741
\n00:51:13,800 –> 00:51:15,300
\nhere.
\nIsrael Sig. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:51:16,400 –> 00:51:21,500
\nThis Heth been by Men Are from
\ntheir youth that they are obey <\/p>\n
743
\n00:51:21,500 –> 00:51:23,300
\nasst.
\nNot my voice. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:51:24,100 –> 00:51:27,800
\nWe saw this morning, didn’t we
\nbet the mentor of Moab from the <\/p>\n
745
\n00:51:27,800 –> 00:51:31,300
\nyouth was that they were settled
\non the Ali’s? <\/p>\n
746
\n00:51:31,300 –> 00:51:34,600
\nThey were lazy.
\nThe manner of Israel from the <\/p>\n
747
\n00:51:34,600 –> 00:51:39,400
\nyouth was Disobedience.
\nAnd so we come to the last part <\/p>\n
748
\n00:51:39,400 –> 00:51:42,800
\nof obvious to chapter 1 and
\ntheir story because she’s shown <\/p>\n
749
\n00:51:43,000 –> 00:51:46,700
\nherself and worthy of the high
\nhonor of being God’s wife. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:51:46,700 –> 00:51:51,500
\nWhat is God going to do?
\nWell, we find when we come back <\/p>\n
751
\n00:51:51,500 –> 00:51:56,700
\nto Easter chapter one.
\nThat God is going to audit the <\/p>\n
752
\n00:51:56,700 –> 00:52:00,000
\nking rather is going to consult
\nverse 13. <\/p>\n
753
\n00:52:00,000 –> 00:52:04,400
\nWith his wise, mean the king
\nsaid to his wisely in which new <\/p>\n
754
\n00:52:04,400 –> 00:52:07,200
\nthe times for.
\nSo was the King’s Men at all, <\/p>\n
755
\n00:52:07,200 –> 00:52:10,600
\nthat new law and judgment.
\nThis the thing, what should we <\/p>\n
756
\n00:52:10,600 –> 00:52:12,800
\ndo?
\nAnd to the queen vest I <\/p>\n
757
\n00:52:13,300 –> 00:52:16,700
\naccording to law who are these
\nseven wise men, brothers and <\/p>\n
758
\n00:52:16,700 –> 00:52:20,300
\nsisters?
\nWell they are clearly the angels<\/p>\n
759
\n00:52:20,300 –> 00:52:23,700
\nin heaven there.
\nThose who know the times verse <\/p>\n
760
\n00:52:23,800 –> 00:52:29,000
\n13 there, those who always
\nbehold the face of My Father, <\/p>\n
761
\n00:52:29,000 –> 00:52:32,300
\nwhich is in heaven.
\nMatthew chapter 18, and verse <\/p>\n
762
\n00:52:32,400 –> 00:52:35,100
\nteam and now God confers with
\nthe angels. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:52:35,100 –> 00:52:39,500
\nWhat are we going to do about
\nthe nation of Israel that time <\/p>\n
764
\n00:52:39,500 –> 00:52:44,000
\nafter time has proved itself
\ndeliberately disobedient? <\/p>\n
765
\n00:52:45,300 –> 00:52:49,000
\nIn verse 15 makes it very clear
\nthat whatever the punishment was<\/p>\n
766
\n00:52:49,000 –> 00:52:53,200
\ngoing to be it had to be meted
\nout according to law. <\/p>\n
767
\n00:52:54,000 –> 00:52:59,500
\nThe nation, that disobeyed God’s
\nlaw would be punished with the <\/p>\n
768
\n00:52:59,500 –> 00:53:02,300
\nlaw.
\nSo it down through time. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:53:02,300 –> 00:53:06,200
\nThe nation was going to be
\npunished with all of the curses <\/p>\n
770
\n00:53:06,500 –> 00:53:10,200
\nof the law of Moses in
\nDeuteronomy chapter 28. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:53:12,100 –> 00:53:17,500
\nAnd so we find in verse 16 that
\nmanukan on behalf of the rest of<\/p>\n
772
\n00:53:17,500 –> 00:53:19,200
\nthe wise, men is going to lay
\nout his argument. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:53:19,200 –> 00:53:21,600
\nWhat are we going to do?
\nWe don’t have time to really <\/p>\n
774
\n00:53:21,600 –> 00:53:23,300
\nlook at this.
\nIn a lot of detail because their<\/p>\n
775
\n00:53:23,300 –> 00:53:26,500
\ntime is up, but let me just say
\nthis to summarize. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:53:26,600 –> 00:53:33,600
\nMamu canes ideas, he says listen
\nO, King Vesta, has overstepped <\/p>\n
777
\n00:53:33,600 –> 00:53:37,700
\nthe line.
\nAnd because she’s been given <\/p>\n
778
\n00:53:37,700 –> 00:53:43,600
\neverything on the basis of the
\nfact that greater privileges <\/p>\n
779
\n00:53:43,600 –> 00:53:47,500
\nbring greater responsibilities.
\nWe’re going to have to make an <\/p>\n
780
\n00:53:47,500 –> 00:53:51,300
\nexample of her.
\nOtherwise it’s going to cause <\/p>\n
781
\n00:53:51,300 –> 00:53:53,200
\nall other woman to design of
\ntheir husbands. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:53:53,200 –> 00:53:55,500
\nThey mean a vest I can do it to
\nthe king. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:53:56,300 –> 00:53:58,900
\nWhat woman can’t do it to the
\nhusband? <\/p>\n
784
\n00:54:00,000 –> 00:54:03,300
\nAnd so we read in verse 19 that
\nhe says, if it please the king <\/p>\n
785
\n00:54:03,900 –> 00:54:07,400
\nlet thee go a royal commandment
\nfrom him, let it be written <\/p>\n
786
\n00:54:07,400 –> 00:54:11,100
\namong the laws of the Persians.
\nAnd the medes that it be not, <\/p>\n
787
\n00:54:11,100 –> 00:54:13,900
\naltered that vest.
\nI come no more before King <\/p>\n
788
\n00:54:13,900 –> 00:54:18,700
\nahasuerus and let the King give
\nher Royal Estate and to another <\/p>\n
789
\n00:54:19,100 –> 00:54:23,500
\nthat is better than she, you
\nknow that those words another <\/p>\n
790
\n00:54:23,500 –> 00:54:29,700
\nthat is better than she must
\nEcho for us ekos to other. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:54:29,800 –> 00:54:37,100
\nBack to the Bible.
\nCan can anyone suggest we’re in <\/p>\n
792
\n00:54:37,100 –> 00:54:40,300
\nanywhere else in the Bible?
\nIt says something along those <\/p>\n
793
\n00:54:40,300 –> 00:54:42,500
\nlines.
\nI’m going to give her Royal <\/p>\n
794
\n00:54:42,500 –> 00:54:46,600
\nEstate and to another that is
\nbetter than she. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:54:48,100 –> 00:54:54,300
\nAny ideas, any thoughts?
\nSalter David or God just all <\/p>\n
796
\n00:54:54,900 –> 00:54:59,500
\nexactly first of Samuel 15, and
\nverse 28, God’s seed, or Samuel <\/p>\n
797
\n00:54:59,500 –> 00:55:05,700
\nseed Yahweh has rent the Kingdom
\nof Israel from the this day and <\/p>\n
798
\n00:55:05,700 –> 00:55:11,700
\ngiving it to a neighbor of thine
\nthat is better than there. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:55:12,400 –> 00:55:13,500
\nAnd we don’t have time to look
\nat it. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:55:13,500 –> 00:55:17,500
\nI was going to go there, but our
\nLord, Jesus Christ, picks up. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:55:17,500 –> 00:55:21,800
\nThose words in Matthew chapter
\n21 and verse 43. <\/p>\n
802
\n00:55:21,800 –> 00:55:24,700
\nTherefore, I say unto you, the
\nkingdom of God is going to be <\/p>\n
803
\n00:55:24,700 –> 00:55:30,300
\ntaken from you and given to a
\nnation bringing forth, the <\/p>\n
804
\n00:55:30,300 –> 00:55:32,700
\nfruits thereof.
\nSee how those two. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:55:32,900 –> 00:55:36,000
\nThose two passages are clearly
\nsit alongside each other. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:55:36,500 –> 00:55:39,200
\nIn the Disobedience of Israel
\nwas going to give way to the <\/p>\n
807
\n00:55:39,200 –> 00:55:44,200
\ntruth, going to the Gentiles and
\nnation, that was going to bring <\/p>\n
808
\n00:55:44,200 –> 00:55:48,600
\nforth the fruits thereof. and,
\nyou know, it’s very, very <\/p>\n
809
\n00:55:48,600 –> 00:55:53,400
\ninteresting that when we go to
\nMatthew chapter 21, It’s right <\/p>\n
810
\n00:55:53,400 –> 00:55:56,600
\nat the end of Matthew 21 that
\nwe’re told this, and when we <\/p>\n
811
\n00:55:56,600 –> 00:55:59,400
\ncome to the start of chapter 22,
\nwhat do we have y? <\/p>\n
812
\n00:55:59,800 –> 00:56:04,000
\nA parable about a weaving and
\nGod says, go out and bringing <\/p>\n
813
\n00:56:04,000 –> 00:56:09,000
\nthe gifts, and they would not
\ncome and God said, right? <\/p>\n
814
\n00:56:09,200 –> 00:56:14,600
\nI’ll find myself a new bride, go
\nout into the highways and byways<\/p>\n
815
\n00:56:15,000 –> 00:56:19,400
\nand bring those people in
\nbecause my wedding will be <\/p>\n
816
\n00:56:19,400 –> 00:56:23,900
\nfurnished with guests.
\nAnd so, the weeding parable of <\/p>\n
817
\n00:56:23,900 –> 00:56:31,600
\nMatthew 22 finds in its exact
\ncounterpart, the, the the search<\/p>\n
818
\n00:56:31,600 –> 00:56:33,600
\nfor a new queen.
\nAs we’re going to come to <\/p>\n
819
\n00:56:33,600 –> 00:56:39,600
\ntomorrow in Esther chapter 2.
\nWell, I want to just finish with<\/p>\n
820
\n00:56:39,600 –> 00:56:43,300
\nus Brothers, this is because the
\nbig lesson that comes out of <\/p>\n
821
\n00:56:43,300 –> 00:56:48,700
\nEsther chapter 1 is obedience.
\nIf we want to please the king, <\/p>\n
822
\n00:56:48,700 –> 00:56:52,100
\nif we want to show our
\nsubjection to him and be <\/p>\n
823
\n00:56:52,100 –> 00:56:57,600
\nsubmissive, we must learn the
\nlesson of obedience. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:56:58,200 –> 00:57:00,200
\nWhat vest?
\nI and the natural nation of <\/p>\n
825
\n00:57:00,200 –> 00:57:03,500
\nIsrael.
\nNever understood to references <\/p>\n
826
\n00:57:03,500 –> 00:57:06,200
\nFirst Peter chapter 4 and verse
\n17. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:57:06,200 –> 00:57:10,000
\nAnd look at this for the time
\nhas come that judgment must <\/p>\n
828
\n00:57:10,000 –> 00:57:15,600
\nbegin at the house of God and if
\nit first begin at us, What shall<\/p>\n
829
\n00:57:15,600 –> 00:57:19,000
\nwe indeed be of them that obey,
\nnot the gospel. <\/p>\n
830
\n00:57:19,100 –> 00:57:20,900
\nObedience is so important, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
831
\n00:57:20,900 –> 00:57:24,300
\nBrothers and sisters.
\nAs we prepare ourselves to be <\/p>\n
832
\n00:57:24,300 –> 00:57:28,900
\nthe Lambs wife, And second of
\nhis loan Ian’s chapter 1 and <\/p>\n
833
\n00:57:28,900 –> 00:57:31,600
\nverse 8.
\nOur Lord, Jesus Christ is coming<\/p>\n
834
\n00:57:31,600 –> 00:57:35,200
\nagain by the resistance is going
\nto be revealed from heaven with <\/p>\n
835
\n00:57:35,200 –> 00:57:40,900
\nhis mighty angels, in flaming
\nfire, just like God did to <\/p>\n
836
\n00:57:40,900 –> 00:57:44,800
\nNative in a buyer who taking
\nVengeance on them, that know, <\/p>\n
837
\n00:57:44,800 –> 00:57:50,500
\nnot God and that obey not the
\ngospel of our Lord, Jesus <\/p>\n
838
\n00:57:50,500 –> 00:57:53,500
\nChrist.
\nIt’s the bald facts of the <\/p>\n
839
\n00:57:53,500 –> 00:57:57,900
\nmatter Brothers as isn’t it.
\nIf we are not prepared to obey, <\/p>\n
840
\n00:57:58,700 –> 00:58:01,600
\nwe will be replaced in God’s
\npurpose. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:58:01,900 –> 00:58:05,700
\nHe doesn’t have any time for
\nDisobedience, he didn’t in the <\/p>\n
842
\n00:58:05,700 –> 00:58:07,800
\ntime of Saul and he doesn’t
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:58:08,900 –> 00:58:12,700
\nAnd you know what the problem is
\nthat we live? <\/p>\n
844
\n00:58:12,700 –> 00:58:15,100
\nDon’t we?
\nIn a time of Tolerance. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:58:15,900 –> 00:58:21,700
\nWe live in a time of
\nbroad-mindedness of acceptance <\/p>\n
846
\n00:58:22,300 –> 00:58:25,900
\nof what we might call
\nProgressive Christianity. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:58:28,000 –> 00:58:32,200
\nAnd everybody around us brothers
\nand sisters is blurring the <\/p>\n
848
\n00:58:32,200 –> 00:58:35,200
\nedges.
\nAnd what we want to take from <\/p>\n
849
\n00:58:35,500 –> 00:58:39,000
\ntoday’s session, is that what we
\nthink? <\/p>\n
850
\n00:58:40,000 –> 00:58:43,700
\nWhat we think is enough.
\nWhat we think will be <\/p>\n
851
\n00:58:43,700 –> 00:58:46,600
\nsatisfactory.
\nWhat we’re prepared to give God <\/p>\n
852
\n00:58:46,600 –> 00:58:50,700
\nis Not Enough.
\nThat must be what he has asked <\/p>\n
853
\n00:58:51,500 –> 00:58:54,400
\nbecause he’s asked from us
\nobedience. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:58:55,600 –> 00:58:59,800
\nOur Lord Jesus Christ, though.
\nHe were a son yet learned. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:58:59,800 –> 00:59:02,500
\nHe obedience by the things which
\nhe suffered. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:59:03,600 –> 00:59:07,900
\nAnd being made, perfect.
\nIt sees, he became the author of<\/p>\n
857
\n00:59:07,900 –> 00:59:12,300
\nEternal salvation unto all them,
\nthat obey him. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:59:13,700 –> 00:59:16,800
\nSo brothers and sisters, if we
\nwant to be part of the Bride, <\/p>\n
859
\n00:59:17,100 –> 00:59:20,700
\nthe Lambs wife, if we want to be
\nassociated with our Lord, Jesus <\/p>\n
860
\n00:59:20,700 –> 00:59:24,500
\nChrist.
\nAll that he has said, we must do<\/p>\n
861
\n00:59:25,000 –> 00:59:28,700
\nand be obedient because when he
\ncomes, we want to be part of <\/p>\n
862
\n00:59:28,700 –> 00:59:32,200
\nthat group of people that very,
\nvery small group of people, <\/p>\n
863
\n00:59:32,200 –> 00:59:37,000
\ndon’t we brothers and sisters
\nwho are obedient and to as it <\/p>\n
864
\n00:59:37,000 –> 00:59:39,900
