\ntalks. <\/p>\n

\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,200
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
\nintro.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:48,900 –> 00:00:50,600
\nThis week’s talk is by Brother
\nRoger Lewis. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:53,600
\nIt’s called the parable of the
\nstrong man and the spoiling of <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:56,100
\nhis house.
\nThis was a I think it’s an <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:56,100 –> 00:00:58,600
\nevening lecture from what I can
\ntell. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:58,700 –> 00:01:02,900
\nIt’s presented on zoom in.
\nIs suggested to me by Brother <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:02,900 –> 00:01:05,300
\nvia text.
\nHe sent me the link to it on <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:05,300 –> 00:01:08,000
\nYouTube it was a classic Roger
\nLewis talk. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:12,200
\nIt’s he has a I think a really
\ndistinct style. <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,700
\nWe’ve his his he’s been on the
\non the on the podcast a few <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:15,700 –> 00:01:20,500
\ntimes now and this this talk
\nFalls right into that mode. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:20,500 –> 00:01:26,400
\nHis kind of usual Exposition for
\nthe first half, maybe 65% the <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:26,408 –> 00:01:29,800
\ntalk and then starts really
\npounding. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:29,900 –> 00:01:35,100
\nNG the exhortation point that
\nthis talk makes, which I thought<\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:41,400
\nwas excellent.
\nJust the essentially, and <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:44,800
\nobviously, he’s says this in a
\nlot more detail, but The Binding<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:44,800 –> 00:01:50,100
\nof the strong man is a type of
\nthe work that Jesus has done in <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:50,100 –> 00:01:54,200
\ndefeating sin but also a type of
\nthe work that we need to do in <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,700
\nspecifically addressing our
\nusual sin Tendencies. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:58,600 –> 00:02:03,100
\nAnd I really thought the That
\nthose points quite well, this <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:07,400
\ntalk, I listen to it in my car
\nbut it is one. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:07,500 –> 00:02:11,000
\nIf if you have the time to get
\nyour Bible out and to make the <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:15,800
\nnotes because he, it’s very fun
\nto hear the the Old Testament <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:15,800 –> 00:02:20,200
\nreferences that he draws out.
\nSo, if that’s available to you, <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:25,100
\nI would suggest that again.
\nI said this was a suggestion by <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:25,100 –> 00:02:28,100
\na friend, thank you.
\nAnd we really feed off those. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:31,800
\nI wish somebody we should maybe
\nThe show kind of what our inner <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:35,100
\nprocess looks like but there’s a
\nwhole list now on our working <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:35,100 –> 00:02:37,700
\nBoard of the different
\nsuggestions that people have <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:40,400
\nsent in to us through the email,
\ncould wrestle a good girl selfie<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:40,400 –> 00:02:46,600
\nand talks at gmail.com and that
\nis just absolutely helpful for <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:48,200
\nus.
\nWe when we first started the <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:48,200 –> 00:02:51,200
\nshow we were kind of listen we
\nneeded to listen to a lot more <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:51,200 –> 00:02:54,200
\ntalks to find ones that we could
\nkind of suggests. <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:54,400 –> 00:02:57,100
\nSo anyway thanks thanks again to
\nall of you. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:57,100 –> 00:02:58,900
\nHere is the strong man and the
\nspoiling. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:58,900 –> 00:03:01,600
\nHis house study.
\nLuke 11 by Brother, Roger Louis.<\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:02,400 –> 00:03:06,400
\nWe’re going to look this evening
\nat this little Parable in Luke <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:11,000
\nchapter 11, which we might
\ndescribe as The Binding of the <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:15,200
\nstrong man and the spoiling of
\nhis house. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:16,900 –> 00:03:22,400
\nNow that Parable is found in all
\nthree of the synoptic gospels. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,200
\nAnd at first sight, it seems to
\nbe the same Parable, but I think<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:27,200 –> 00:03:32,200
\nwhen we look more closely at the
\ntext, it suggests that that <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:36,700
\nLuke’s account is set at a
\ndifferent time to the other <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:36,700 –> 00:03:40,100
\ntwos, clearly worded in a
\ndifferent way. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:44,600
\nAnd in fact, no distinct.
\nThose differences adds to our <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:44,600 –> 00:03:49,100
\nappreciation of The richness and
\nthe detail of of what it was <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:49,100 –> 00:03:52,700
\nthat the Lord was teaching.
\nSo, our study tonight is going <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:52,700 –> 00:03:57,600
\nto be based upon Luke’s account,
\nbut we will briefly cross to the<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:03,100
\nother gospels along the way.
\nNow there was, of course, a <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:03,100 –> 00:04:07,000
\nbackground to the parable.
\nThere’s always a background to <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:11,800
\nThe Parables and finding that
\ncontext is the key to properly <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:12,100 –> 00:04:14,900
\ninterpret, the mystery of who
\nthe strongman might be. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:19,000
\nAnd what the Spoiling of his
\nhouse might involve. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:19,700 –> 00:04:22,300
\nSo, do you notice what the
\nrecord says here in Luke 11 <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:22,900 –> 00:04:29,400
\nreading from verse 14?
\nIt C is and he was casting out a<\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:34,800
\ndevil and it was done and it
\ncame to pass when the devil was <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:38,700
\ngone out the dumb speak and the
\npeople wondered would devil. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:38,700 –> 00:04:43,500
\nHere is diammonium the demon and
\nMatthew actually say is that <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:43,500 –> 00:04:47,300
\nthis man was both blind and
\ndumb. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:48,400 –> 00:04:52,500
\nIn other words, he was so
\ndamaged by the extent of his <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:52,500 –> 00:04:57,600
\nAffliction that people were
\namazed at the success of Christ.<\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:02,400
\nThey were astonished that he was
\nable to heal such a tragic case.<\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:06,700
\nWell, at least some of the
\npeople were amazed. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:12,900
\nBut not everybody.
\nBecause you notice that the next<\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:12,900 –> 00:05:17,800
\nverse says, verse 15 but some of
\nthem see and he casteth out <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:22,100
\nDevils through Beelzebub.
\nThe chief of the devils and it <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:22,108 –> 00:05:27,600
\nwas a hateful as spiteful
\ninsinuation and it didn’t just <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:27,600 –> 00:05:32,200
\ncome from anyone.
\nBecause Mark’s gospel tells us <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:38,600
\nin marks 3 verse 22 and the
\nscribes which came down from <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:38,600 –> 00:05:44,000
\nJerusalem, said he Beelzebub.
\nAnd by the prince of devils, he <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:48,400
\ncast out devils.
\nYou see, they couldn’t dispute <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:53,400
\nthe miracle itself.
\nSo they were forced instead to <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:53,400 –> 00:05:58,200
\ndiscredit or try and discredit
\nhow the Lord might have <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:58,200 –> 00:06:01,800
\naccomplished it.
\nAnd it wasn’t just a false <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:04,600
\nsuggestion.
\nIt was a very foolish one as the<\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:04,600 –> 00:06:07,800
\nLord would show because what
\nthey Proclaim, what they <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:12,300
\nsuggested, in fact, defied logic
\nand common sense, it was the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:12,300 –> 00:06:16,000
\nsuggestion of those who were
\ndesperate to discredit the <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:16,008 –> 00:06:18,900
\nLord’s power.
\nBecause the one thing that they <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:22,700
\ncould not bring themselves to
\nadmit, was that it might be from<\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:22,700 –> 00:06:26,400
\nGod himself.
\nAnd I think there’s an <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:26,400 –> 00:06:28,200
\nimplication and the gospel
\nrecords. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:28,200 –> 00:06:33,000
\nWhen we read them carefully that
\nin fact, they didn’t say these <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:33,000 –> 00:06:36,400
\nwords and verse 15 directly to
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:37,200 –> 00:06:42,200
\nI think what they did is they
\nmingled with the multitude and <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:46,700
\ninsidiously surreptitiously.
\nThey whispered the idea from ear<\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:46,700 –> 00:06:52,700
\nto ear From person to person.
\nThat the Lord was in League with<\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:52,700 –> 00:06:55,800
\nthe devil, didn’t say it out
\nloud to the law that Matthew <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:55,800 –> 00:06:59,700
\nsays, he perceiving their
\nthoughts out of them. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:00,900 –> 00:07:05,400
\nIt was a blatant Endeavor to
\nundermine the work of the father<\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:05,500 –> 00:07:10,800
\nin the Sun.
\nNow you notice in verse 15. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:18,800
\nThe record says it uses the word
\nblz, but but but the Greek has <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:18,900 –> 00:07:24,100
\nblz bull finishing with an l and
\nnot Abby. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:25,300 –> 00:07:31,900
\nAnd the word blz bul means
\nliterally, lord of the house. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:33,000 –> 00:07:37,500
\nAnd I think what follows in
\nChrist’s words is a deliberate <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:37,500 –> 00:07:40,200
\nallusion to the meaning of that
\nname. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:40,700 –> 00:07:45,500
\nThat the Jews use the term as a
\ntitle, to represent the power of<\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:45,500 –> 00:07:50,100
\nSatan bills evil there, which is
\nopposed to God and his ways. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:55,400
\nWell, now, the Lord’s going to
\nanswer that unjust insinuation. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:55,500 –> 00:08:01,000
\nAnd so, he says this in verse
\n17, It says, but he knowing <\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:07,200
\ntheir thoughts said unto them.
\nEvery Kingdom divided against <\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:13,700
\nitself is brought to desolation.
\nAnd A house divided against a <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:13,700 –> 00:08:17,200
\nhouse.
\nFourth. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:25,600
\nYou see Nations a kingdom and
\nFamilies Our House. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:26,700 –> 00:08:30,200
\nDo not deliberately embarked
\nupon a course of <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:30,200 –> 00:08:37,100
\nself-destruction.
\nCivil War in a kingdom and <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:37,100 –> 00:08:43,299
\nsibling rivalry in a family.
\nCan only ever be destructive to <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:43,299 –> 00:08:47,100
\ntheir future, both can only
\nProsper when everyone lives in <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:47,100 –> 00:08:50,100
\nharmony.
\nSo to suggest that Christ used <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:50,100 –> 00:08:55,500
\nthe power of Satan to overthrow
\nthe kingdom of Satan. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:56,400 –> 00:08:59,900
\nWas to argue that Satan fought
\nagainst his own realm. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:04,500
\nNow, Satan, of course, means
\nadversary, but he would hardly <\/p>\n

121
\n00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:11,000
\nbe an adversary to himself.
\nAnd so, the Lord says in Luke 11<\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:16,100
\nverse 18, if Satan also be
\ndivided against himself, how <\/p>\n

123
\n00:09:16,100 –> 00:09:20,400
\nshall his kingdom stand?
\nBecause he say that, I cast out <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:26,000
\nDevils by Devils by Beelzebub,
\nwhy would Satan see? <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:26,100 –> 00:09:31,900
\nSeek to publicly demolish, his
\nown kingdom in the sight of <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:31,900 –> 00:09:33,900
\nothers, all know, there was a
\nmuch better. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:33,900 –> 00:09:37,300
\nExplanations is the Lord if
\nSatan’s kingdom was under <\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:37,300 –> 00:09:43,600
\nthreat, it clearly was Because
\nanother kingdom had challenged <\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:43,600 –> 00:09:47,500
\nit.
\nAnd notice how Christ says, <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:52,700
\nbecause ye say that I cast out
\nDevils by his big by builds <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:52,700 –> 00:09:55,700
\nevil.
\nIn other words, he replied by <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:55,700 –> 00:10:00,200
\nusing their own argument, to
\nshow its fundamental weakness <\/p>\n

133
\n00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:04,100
\nand it’s fatal flaw.
\nActually marks is and Mark 3, <\/p>\n

134
\n00:10:04,100 –> 00:10:09,500
\nverse 23 called them unto him
\nand said unto them in Parables, <\/p>\n

135
\n00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:15,200
\nhow can Satan cast out Satan and
\nthat teaching? <\/p>\n

136
\n00:10:15,300 –> 00:10:19,100
\nI’m by Parables, will lead us
\neventually into the parable of <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:19,100 –> 00:10:22,600
\nThe Binding of the strong, man,
\nand the spoiling of his house <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:26,700
\nwhich will follow shortly in
\nthis record. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:28,100 –> 00:10:33,600
\nAnd so Jesus says in verse 19,
\nLuke 11 verse 19 and \/ blz will <\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:38,400
\ncast out Devils by whom do, your
\nson’s cast them out? <\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:41,100
\nTherefore, shall they be your
\njudges? <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:41,300 –> 00:10:46,800
\nNow, evidently in these times,
\nthere were certain Jews who <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:51,500
\npretended to exorcise demons and
\nthey probably did it for <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:51,500 –> 00:10:54,600
\nfinancial gain.
\nWe read of one such account in <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:54,600 –> 00:11:00,300
\nLuke 9 verse 49 when it says
\nJohn answered and said, Master, <\/p>\n

146
\n00:11:00,500 –> 00:11:04,600
\nwe saw one casting out devils in
\nthy name and we forbad him <\/p>\n

147
\n00:11:04,600 –> 00:11:06,500
\nbecause he followeth not with
\nus. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:11:07,900 –> 00:11:11,300
\nThere’s another one and x, 19
\nverse 13. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:11:11,300 –> 00:11:16,100
\nWhen it C is uncertain of the
\nbeggar bomb, do use exorcists <\/p>\n

150
\n00:11:16,500 –> 00:11:20,300
\ntook upon them to call over them
\nwhich had evil spirits, the name<\/p>\n

151
\n00:11:20,300 –> 00:11:23,800
\nof the Lord Jesus.
\nAnd there were seven sons of one<\/p>\n

152
\n00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:27,200
\nskiver, a Jew and chief of the
\npriests which did so. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:27,500 –> 00:11:32,300
\nSo, here were prot\u00e9g\u00e9es of the
\nJewish leaders who perform such <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:32,300 –> 00:11:34,400
\nwonders.
\nThere were probably encouraged <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:34,400 –> 00:11:38,700
\nby the Pharisees themselves who
\nenjoy And the influence and the <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:38,700 –> 00:11:42,700
\nrecognition of brought them,
\nthey had Wonder workers at their<\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:42,700 –> 00:11:46,000
\ndisposal that they never
\nsuggested that these miracle <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:49,700
\nworkers that these ones were in
\nLeague with Satan. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:51,300 –> 00:11:54,600
\nSo he was the problem, you see,
\nthey either had to admit that <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:59,700
\nthese Miracles by their own
\nfollowers, prove that they also <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:59,700 –> 00:12:03,100
\nwere working with Satan, which
\nis what they’re claiming of the <\/p>\n

162
\n00:12:03,100 –> 00:12:06,400
\nLord.
\nOr they had to admit, they were <\/p>\n

163
\n00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:11,700
\nfraudulent.
\nOh, they had to concede that. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:12:11,700 –> 00:12:19,100
\nThere might be, in fact must be
\na higher power which made such <\/p>\n

165
\n00:12:19,300 –> 00:12:24,900
\nMiracles possible and it was
\nthat higher power which the Lord<\/p>\n

166
\n00:12:24,900 –> 00:12:31,700
\nwas cleaning. as he made evident
\nin the very next verse, Because <\/p>\n

167
\n00:12:31,700 –> 00:12:36,000
\nJesus says in verse 20, but if
\nI, he says with the Finger of <\/p>\n

168
\n00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:40,400
\nGod cast out Devils, no doubt
\nthe kingdom of God is come upon <\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:43,100
\nyou.
\nNow, interestingly, the record <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:43,100 –> 00:12:47,300
\nin Matthew says that if I have
\nmet Matthew 12 verse 28 says, <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:47,300 –> 00:12:52,000
\nbut if I cast out Devils by the
\nspirit of God, then the kingdom <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:55,400
\nof God has come up to you.
\nAnd that was true as to the <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:55,400 –> 00:12:58,200
\npower that Christ.
\nWill, that was the spirit of God<\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:58,200 –> 00:13:01,500
\nthat the Lord used.
\nBut the Gordon. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:13:01,500 –> 00:13:07,400
\nLuke shows that Christ used a
\ndifferent expression because <\/p>\n

176
\n00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:13,800
\nLuke says that the Lord said, if
\nI with the Finger of God cast <\/p>\n

177
\n00:13:13,800 –> 00:13:17,500
\nout devils and that was a
\ndeliberate Old Testament. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:23,200
\nIllusion, you see, in the days
\nof Moses, The Magician’s of <\/p>\n

179
\n00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:28,700
\nEgypt tried to copy his plagues.
\nBut when it came to the plague <\/p>\n

180
\n00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:34,800
\nof the lice, they couldn’t, they
\nfound it impossible to duplicate<\/p>\n

181
\n00:13:35,100 –> 00:13:37,700
\nand they confess their inability
\nto do the same thing. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:13:37,700 –> 00:13:40,700
\nAnd and these were the words
\nthey use to confess their <\/p>\n

183
\n00:13:40,700 –> 00:13:44,300
\ninability to copy Moses, Exodus
\n8 verse 19. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:44,300 –> 00:13:49,200
\nSo you madinat Sees In The
\nMagician’s send unto Pharaoh, <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:50,300 –> 00:13:57,300
\nthis is the Finger of God.
\nIn other words, they Knowledge <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:57,300 –> 00:14:03,400
\nthat this miracle was beyond
\nhuman power to perform that it <\/p>\n

187
\n00:14:03,408 –> 00:14:08,000
\ncould only be accounted for on
\nthe basis of divine intervention<\/p>\n

188
\n00:14:08,300 –> 00:14:12,600
\nand it was this phrase that
\nChrist will use in his answer to<\/p>\n

189
\n00:14:12,608 –> 00:14:15,600
\nthe scribes.
\nIn Luke chapter 11, what a <\/p>\n

190
\n00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:19,900
\nsplendid passage for the Lord to
\nallude to in his response to <\/p>\n

191
\n00:14:19,900 –> 00:14:25,000
\nthose who could only pretend to
\ncopy his works of healing. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:14:26,900 –> 00:14:32,300
\nSo what then did his miraculous
\nhis own miraculous cures <\/p>\n

193
\n00:14:32,300 –> 00:14:35,200
\nindicate.
\nWell, he says, so in the, in the<\/p>\n

194
\n00:14:35,200 –> 00:14:39,000
\nverse 20, he says, if I with the
\nFinger of God cast out Devils, <\/p>\n

195
\n00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:42,800
\nno doubt the kingdom of God is
\ncome upon you. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:14:43,000 –> 00:14:45,600
\nSo what are the Lord mean, when
\nhe said that brothers and <\/p>\n

197
\n00:14:45,600 –> 00:14:49,800
\nsisters in what way, could he
\nsay that by this means the <\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:49,800 –> 00:14:52,500
\nkingdom of God, had come upon
\nthem? <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:53,800 –> 00:14:57,700
\nWell, I suggest that the answer
\nis that in Luke’s gospel, <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:04,300
\nparticularly in Luke’s gospel,
\nthe term kingdom of God is often<\/p>\n

201
\n00:15:04,300 –> 00:15:08,300
\na reference to Christ himself.
\nThis is come back and look at <\/p>\n

202
\n00:15:08,300 –> 00:15:11,800
\nthose two or three of those just
\nto establish that connection in.<\/p>\n

203
\n00:15:11,800 –> 00:15:18,100
\nLuke chapter 10, and verse 9.
\nThe record says that the Lord <\/p>\n

204
\n00:15:18,100 –> 00:15:20,800
\nsaid to his disciples heal, the
\nsick that are therein and say <\/p>\n

205
\n00:15:20,800 –> 00:15:24,200
\nunto them.
\nThe kingdom of God is come nigh <\/p>\n

206
\n00:15:24,200 –> 00:15:28,200
\nunto you as a reference and fact
\nto himself to the Lord. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:32,200
\nJesus Christ here in, in Luke
\n11, we’re going to have the same<\/p>\n

208
\n00:15:32,200 –> 00:15:35,900
\nthing verse 20.
\nIf I, if I perform Miracles, the<\/p>\n

209
\n00:15:35,900 –> 00:15:39,600
\nkingdom of God has come upon you
\nthat that that is a reference to<\/p>\n

210
\n00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:43,200
\nthe manifestation of Jesus
\nChrist in their midst. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:15:44,200 –> 00:15:48,400
\nLuke chapter 17 says in verses,
\n20 and 21. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:51,400
\nAnd when he was demanded of the
\nPharisees, when the kingdom of <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:56,200
\nGod should come He answered and
\nsaid the kingdom of God cometh, <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:56,400 –> 00:15:58,600
\nnot with observation.
\nNeither shall they? <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:04,200
\nSay Lo here, or Lo there for
\nbehold the kingdom of God is <\/p>\n

216
\n00:16:04,200 –> 00:16:08,300
\namong you.
\nHe says right now, it was among <\/p>\n

217
\n00:16:08,300 –> 00:16:14,100
\nthem because he himself was
\nthere, Luke 17 verses 20 and 21 <\/p>\n

218
\n00:16:14,600 –> 00:16:18,100
\nand in Luke chapter 21 and verse
\n31. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:16:18,100 –> 00:16:21,900
\nThe way called will say.
\nSo likewise, when you see these <\/p>\n

220
\n00:16:21,900 –> 00:16:26,200
\nthings come to pass, You know,
\nye that the kingdom of God is <\/p>\n

221
\n00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:32,900
\nnigh at hand and right there.
\nAnd right now, the Royal Majesty<\/p>\n

222
\n00:16:32,900 –> 00:16:37,000
\nof the kingdom was in the amidst
\nbuzzer sisters in the form of <\/p>\n

223
\n00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:39,600
\nour Lord.
\nJesus Christ himself and the <\/p>\n

224
\n00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:44,200
\ncures that Christ affected were,
\nbut a taste of the past that he <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:44,200 –> 00:16:50,200
\nwould command in the Kingdom age
\nat self the reality of the <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:50,200 –> 00:16:52,700
\nkingdom of God, had come upon
\nthem. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:53,200 –> 00:17:00,100
\nIn the form of its king.
\nThe challenge was would they <\/p>\n

228
\n00:17:00,100 –> 00:17:05,099
\nrecognize it and bow before him?
\nActually notice what it does. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:17:05,099 –> 00:17:08,599
\nSay in Luke 11, verse 20.
\nJust reading that last phrase a <\/p>\n

230
\n00:17:08,608 –> 00:17:11,700
\nlittle more carefully.
\nHe says, if I have done such <\/p>\n

231
\n00:17:11,700 –> 00:17:14,200
\nthings by the Finger of God,
\nthere no doubt. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:18,599
\nThe kingdom of God is come upon
\nyou but then still phrase come <\/p>\n

233
\n00:17:18,599 –> 00:17:22,700
\nupon you.
\nIf fessenden if hymas means <\/p>\n

234
\n00:17:22,700 –> 00:17:29,100
\nliterally to come before.
\nOr to arrive ahead. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:17:29,500 –> 00:17:31,600
\nIt’s the same word.
\nAnd the first of this alone <\/p>\n

236
\n00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:37,300
\nIan’s 4:15 when it says that
\nthat we which here and there <\/p>\n

237
\n00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:42,600
\nwill not prevent not go before
\nthose who are asleep in Christ. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:46,700
\nSo, this was a special warning.
\nYou see to the Jewish people. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:50,800
\nThere’s was the first
\nopportunity to submit to the <\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:50,800 –> 00:17:52,900
\nking.
\nIt’s come before you ahead of <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:52,900 –> 00:17:55,900
\neverybody else.
\nBut they would be others to <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:55,900 –> 00:18:00,900
\nfollow from the Gentiles who
\nmight be more prompt and their <\/p>\n

243
\n00:18:00,900 –> 00:18:05,600
\nresponse to acknowledge the
\nking, then the Jews themselves <\/p>\n

244
\n00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:09,800
\nand here in lay the challenge of
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

245
\n00:18:11,800 –> 00:18:15,600
\nAnd now, finally, in Luke’s
\ngospel, we will come to the <\/p>\n

246
\n00:18:15,600 –> 00:18:19,300
\nparable of the strong men and
\nhis house. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:24,100
\nBut before we examine Luke’s
\naccount, we need to read what <\/p>\n

248
\n00:18:24,100 –> 00:18:27,900
\nthe other.
\nAn Optics record in the wording <\/p>\n

249
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:31,400
\nof this particular Parable.
\nAnd we’re going to take this is <\/p>\n

250
\n00:18:31,408 –> 00:18:36,000
\nnot that we record from Mark’s
\naccount and Matt chapter 3. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:18:36,200 –> 00:18:38,600
\nSo come back with me.
\nIf you want to Mark chapter 3 <\/p>\n

252
\n00:18:38,600 –> 00:18:41,800
\nand it’s just see Max.
\nWe called now similar to <\/p>\n

253
\n00:18:41,800 –> 00:18:46,200
\nMatthews in terms of what they
\nsay about the parable of the <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:46,200 –> 00:18:49,500
\nstrong, man.
\nSo here it is. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:49,500 –> 00:18:55,700
\nIn Mark chapter 3 and reading
\nfrom verse 27, the record says, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:56,000 –> 00:19:03,100
\nno man can enter into a strong
\nmans house and spoil his Goods. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:19:03,600 –> 00:19:09,000
\nAcceptable first bind the strong
\nman and then he will spoil his <\/p>\n

258
\n00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:12,600
\nhouse.
\nNow, if you notice something <\/p>\n

259
\n00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:15,700
\ninteresting to notice here,
\nbrothers and sisters, is that <\/p>\n

260
\n00:19:15,700 –> 00:19:23,200
\nthis Parable is not quite what.
\nIt seems, you see this is not a <\/p>\n

261
\n00:19:23,200 –> 00:19:27,500
\nparable about the plunder of
\ntheft. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:33,700
\nIt’s a parable about The Spoils
\nof War. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:40,500
\nYou see, the thief broke in to
\nsteal in the night. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:44,400
\nWhile the household, are they
\nasleep? <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:51,000
\nBut the Conqueror defeated his
\nopponent in the day. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:52,000 –> 00:19:56,200
\nAnd then took Goods which were
\nThe Spoils of Victory. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:56,300 –> 00:19:59,500
\nYou see the strongman in this
\nParable was wide awake, when the<\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:02,300
\nInvader came, he stood ready to
\nrepel him. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:04,900
\nHe stood ready to safeguard?
\nWhat was his? <\/p>\n

270
\n00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:08,500
\nNow the house of a strong man
\ncould ever be wrong, unless the <\/p>\n

271
\n00:20:08,500 –> 00:20:15,100
\nstrong man had first been beaten
\nin contests and tied up tight. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:20:17,900 –> 00:20:24,000
\nNow, of course, the strongman in
\nthe paranal is symbolic. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:20:25,100 –> 00:20:32,600
\nWho ultimately had the ability
\nto hold all humankind enthrall, <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:38,100
\nwho ruled as Master commanding,
\nthe absolute Obedience of all <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:38,200 –> 00:20:43,200
\nhis subjects who finally possess
\nthe power of death, there could <\/p>\n

276
\n00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:46,700
\nbe only one answer, this was
\nsin. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:20:48,000 –> 00:20:51,600
\nKingson.
\nThe princely power of King sin. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:20:51,700 –> 00:20:56,200
\nPersonified.
\nHere is the strong man of the <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:56,200 –> 00:21:00,100
\nparable and if that was so and
\nthe Kingston were the strong <\/p>\n

280
\n00:21:00,100 –> 00:21:05,900
\nman, then the goods in the
\nstrongman’s house, We’re <\/p>\n

281
\n00:21:05,900 –> 00:21:10,700
\nactually people.
\nPeople Bound by the grip of <\/p>\n

282
\n00:21:10,700 –> 00:21:13,600
\nsickness.
\nPeople Bound by their bias <\/p>\n

283
\n00:21:13,600 –> 00:21:22,500
\ntowards sin, and people finally
\nBound by death in the grave. now<\/p>\n

284
\n00:21:22,500 –> 00:21:27,500
\nthe point of the Lord’s Parable
\nwas that his miracles of <\/p>\n

285
\n00:21:27,500 –> 00:21:32,400
\nhealing, proved that he’d
\nalready taken some of the goods <\/p>\n

286
\n00:21:32,400 –> 00:21:38,300
\nfrom the strong mans house, and
\nhe could only have done so, If <\/p>\n

287
\n00:21:38,300 –> 00:21:42,800
\nhe had the power to bind, the
\nstrongman, his healings were the<\/p>\n

288
\n00:21:42,800 –> 00:21:47,200
\nproof, it was an irrefutable
\nclaim. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:21:48,600 –> 00:21:51,400
\nAnd what’s interesting is that
\nthis parable of Christ, We <\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:57,100
\nBelieve had an Old Testament
\nthat ground where the ideas of <\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:57,100 –> 00:22:00,900
\nThe Binding of the strong man
\nand the spoiling of us house. <\/p>\n

292
\n00:22:01,700 –> 00:22:05,200
\nWere both to be found.
\nSo if you come back to the Old <\/p>\n

293
\n00:22:05,200 –> 00:22:08,900
\nTestament records remote to
\nIsaiah Before T done. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:22:09,200 –> 00:22:12,800
\nWe suggested this was the
\npersons that the Lord was using <\/p>\n

295
\n00:22:12,800 –> 00:22:18,300
\nas the basis for this Parable in
\nLuke chapter 11 and in the other<\/p>\n

296
\n00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:24,500
\nsynoptic records because in
\nIsaiah 49 and reading verse 24, <\/p>\n

297
\n00:22:24,500 –> 00:22:29,900
\nwe come across these words.
\nIt says there shall the prey be <\/p>\n

298
\n00:22:29,900 –> 00:22:35,100
\ntaken from the mighty or the
\nlawful captive delivered. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:22:36,300 –> 00:22:38,700
\nBut the Hebrew word for pray
\nhere. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:44,200
\nMale caller, is the Old
\nTestament equivalent for the New<\/p>\n

301
\n00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:48,500
\nTestament.
\nWord, spoil, the other part. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:22:48,500 –> 00:22:54,000
\nSo it literally means plunder,
\nboth words mean the same thing. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:22:54,600 –> 00:23:00,100
\nAnd the word mighty here in
\nverse 24 of Isaiah 49, Gabor and<\/p>\n

304
\n00:23:00,400 –> 00:23:04,300
\nmeans fundamentally a strong
\nman. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:08,500
\nAnd now suddenly, the illusion
\nis clearer in effect. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:23:08,500 –> 00:23:13,700
\nWhat the prophet crime is in
\nIsaiah 49 verse. 24 is shall the<\/p>\n

307
\n00:23:13,700 –> 00:23:16,400
\nspoil be taken from the
\nstrongman. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:23:17,500 –> 00:23:21,700
\nIn Reading from the revised
\nstandard version or the captives<\/p>\n

309
\n00:23:21,700 –> 00:23:26,900
\nof a tyrant be rescued.
\nAnd he is the very basis we <\/p>\n

310
\n00:23:26,900 –> 00:23:30,900
\nsuggest of the Lord’s Parable,
\nwhich we are looking at in the <\/p>\n

311
\n00:23:30,900 –> 00:23:35,100
\ngospels and the prophet gave the
\nanswer to his question in the <\/p>\n

312
\n00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:39,900
\nvery next verse when he said
\nthese words and Isaiah, 49 verse<\/p>\n

313
\n00:23:39,900 –> 00:23:45,200
\n25.
\nBut thus saith Yahweh even the <\/p>\n

314
\n00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:48,800
\ncaptives of the mighty shall be
\ntaken away and the prey of the <\/p>\n

315
\n00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:51,300
\nterrible shall be delivered
\nrival contained. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:23:51,300 –> 00:23:55,300
\nWithin that contain doth thee
\nand I will Save thy children. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:23:55,500 –> 00:24:01,000
\nNow, you see in Isaiah’s day,
\nthe reference of Isaiah 49 <\/p>\n

318
\n00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:06,200
\nverse. 25 was ^ Babylon.
\nIt would, that would take Israel<\/p>\n

319
\n00:24:06,200 –> 00:24:10,600
\ninto captivity, a captivity that
\nseemed irreversible into a <\/p>\n

320
\n00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:14,900
\nbondage that seemed unbreakable.
\nAnd yet declared the prophet, <\/p>\n

321
\n00:24:15,500 –> 00:24:21,500
\neven the captives of the mighty
\nshall be taken away and the prey<\/p>\n

322
\n00:24:21,500 –> 00:24:23,900
\nof the terrible shall be
\ndelivered. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:26,600
\nIt says the prophet Against All
\nOdds. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:24:26,800 –> 00:24:30,700
\nThe strongman would be
\noverpowered and those under his <\/p>\n

325
\n00:24:30,700 –> 00:24:33,400
\nsway, would be delivered.
\nNow, how could this possibly be <\/p>\n

326
\n00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:36,100
\nso?
\nWell, says, the recall denies <\/p>\n

327
\n00:24:36,100 –> 00:24:39,000
\nAre.
\nGod Alone had the power to do <\/p>\n

328
\n00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:42,900
\nso.
\nAnd so he says in this verse I <\/p>\n

329
\n00:24:42,900 –> 00:24:50,700
\nwill contend, I will save So,
\nYahweh seeing one who was <\/p>\n

330
\n00:24:50,700 –> 00:24:55,400
\nstronger than the strong man of
\ndevelin and his people were <\/p>\n

331
\n00:24:55,400 –> 00:24:59,500
\ndelivered.
\nBut that rescue out of that <\/p>\n

332
\n00:24:59,500 –> 00:25:04,000
\nMerlin was a foreshadowing of
\nthe final Triumph. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:11,100
\nYahweh took his son, whom he
\nmade strong for himself and sent<\/p>\n

334
\n00:25:11,100 –> 00:25:17,200
\nhim to do battle with the most
\npowerful, strong man of all the <\/p>\n

335
\n00:25:17,200 –> 00:25:25,600
\npower of sin and death.
\nAnd now see how Lux own account <\/p>\n

336
\n00:25:25,600 –> 00:25:32,900
\nof this, Parable will now draw
\non Liza end in Rich these ideas.<\/p>\n

337
\n00:25:33,100 –> 00:25:38,400
\nSo, if you come back now to Luke
\nchapter 11 and 2 verse 21. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:25:38,700 –> 00:25:43,500
\nLet’s now look at Luke’s record
\nlooks own account of this. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:25:43,500 –> 00:25:49,100
\nParable of the strong, man.
\nThis is how Luke writes about <\/p>\n

340
\n00:25:49,100 –> 00:25:51,700
\nthe parable.
\nLuke 11 verse 21. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:25:51,700 –> 00:25:58,900
\nC, is whether strong man.
\nKeep of his Palace, his goods <\/p>\n

342
\n00:25:58,900 –> 00:26:03,900
\nare in peace.
\nActually in the Greek it’s the <\/p>\n

343
\n00:26:03,900 –> 00:26:10,200
\nwords home is schooled us.
\nThe strong man. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:15,600
\nWhen these strong man keeps his
\nPalace, you see he is the <\/p>\n

345
\n00:26:15,600 –> 00:26:20,400
\nstrongest of them all sin.
\nPersonified, as a mighty men and<\/p>\n

346
\n00:26:20,400 –> 00:26:24,800
\nInvincible Champion.
\nA strong man who has hitherto <\/p>\n

347
\n00:26:24,800 –> 00:26:29,300
\nnever never once been beaten in
\nbattle. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:26:30,300 –> 00:26:34,100
\nHe’s more than just a strong
\nman, because this first says <\/p>\n

349
\n00:26:34,300 –> 00:26:39,000
\nhe’s described here as a strong
\nman armed, the revised Standard <\/p>\n

350
\n00:26:39,000 –> 00:26:46,200
\nVersion says fully and he’s
\nready to do battle with any who <\/p>\n

351
\n00:26:46,400 –> 00:26:50,200
\nmight strive to enter his house.
\nIn fact, even the word keepeth <\/p>\n

352
\n00:26:50,200 –> 00:26:55,600
\nhere in verse 21 for Less owe to
\nGod, means to keep by way of <\/p>\n

353
\n00:26:55,600 –> 00:27:00,500
\nprotection.
\nSo the strongman has a palace <\/p>\n

354
\n00:27:01,400 –> 00:27:05,900
\nfilled with his Goods, which he
\nkeeps under lock and key. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:27:07,400 –> 00:27:11,300
\nAnd so secure is as Palace, so
\nstrong, the guard that is good, <\/p>\n

356
\n00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:14,300
\nthe safe and secure which is
\nprobably what the word piece <\/p>\n

357
\n00:27:14,300 –> 00:27:21,100
\nreally means in this place. but
\nin reality, so those checked <\/p>\n

358
\n00:27:21,100 –> 00:27:26,300
\nwithin his Palace, It felt more
\nlike the bondage of a prison <\/p>\n

359
\n00:27:26,300 –> 00:27:34,600
\nhouse.
\nAnd then verse 22 says, but when<\/p>\n

360
\n00:27:34,900 –> 00:27:39,500
\na stronger than he shall come
\nupon him. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:27:41,600 –> 00:27:46,700
\nNow, what a marvelous expression
\nbrothers and sisters when a <\/p>\n

362
\n00:27:46,700 –> 00:27:51,600
\nstronger than he shall come.
\nDo you know the world had waited<\/p>\n

363
\n00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:56,300
\nfor this man from the days of
\nthe Garden of Eden? <\/p>\n

364
\n00:27:57,800 –> 00:28:01,700
\nSoon, entered the world and
\nimmediately held all within its <\/p>\n

365
\n00:28:01,700 –> 00:28:04,000
\ngrip and kept all under its
\nguard. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:28:04,100 –> 00:28:07,100
\nThere was no way out of the
\nstrongman’s palace. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:28:08,600 –> 00:28:13,300
\nUntil our Lord came.
\nAnd what he did was to prove <\/p>\n

368
\n00:28:13,300 –> 00:28:16,600
\nthat he was stronger than the
\nstrong man. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:22,500
\nShe’s like this is how it’s
\ndescribed that contest in <\/p>\n

370
\n00:28:22,500 –> 00:28:25,600
\nHebrews chapter 2, which we
\nshan’t turn up at Hebrews 2, <\/p>\n

371
\n00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:30,000
\nverses 14 and 15 series for as
\nmuch then as the children are <\/p>\n

372
\n00:28:30,000 –> 00:28:36,900
\npartakers of Flesh and Blood.
\nHe also himself likewise took <\/p>\n

373
\n00:28:36,900 –> 00:28:43,400
\npart of the same that through
\ndeath he might destroy way Mouse<\/p>\n

374
\n00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:50,500
\nears, wind a powerless Robert
\nhim says that he might paralyze <\/p>\n

375
\n00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:54,100
\nhim, that had the power of
\ndeath. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:28:54,100 –> 00:28:59,800
\nThat is the devil.
\nAnd deliver them release them. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:29:00,200 –> 00:29:06,900
\nFree them who through fear of
\ndeath were all their lifetime <\/p>\n

378
\n00:29:07,400 –> 00:29:11,300
\nsubject to bondage.
\nDo you think the world had <\/p>\n

379
\n00:29:11,300 –> 00:29:13,300
\nwaited for this man brothers and
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

380
\n00:29:14,300 –> 00:29:20,000
\nWe all waited for him and
\nbecause he was Stronger, he <\/p>\n

381
\n00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:24,300
\novercame the strongman and
\nreached right into his Palace to<\/p>\n

382
\n00:29:24,300 –> 00:29:28,000
\nspoil his Goods.
\nIn fact, The verse says, in Luke<\/p>\n

383
\n00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:32,300
\n11 verse 21 verse 22, when a
\nstronger than he shall come upon<\/p>\n

384
\n00:29:32,300 –> 00:29:35,500
\nthem.
\nHe shall overcome him and the <\/p>\n

385
\n00:29:35,508 –> 00:29:39,400
\nword overcome, and the KO means
\nof course, to conquer and <\/p>\n

386
\n00:29:39,400 –> 00:29:42,000
\nPrevail.
\nAnd that’s exactly what our Lord<\/p>\n

387
\n00:29:42,000 –> 00:29:46,900
\ndid.
\nJohn 16 Verse 33 cities in the <\/p>\n

388
\n00:29:46,900 –> 00:29:51,400
\nworld ye shall have tribulation
\nbut be of good cheer. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:29:52,900 –> 00:29:58,100
\nI have overcome the world.
\nIn Revelation 3 verse 21 that <\/p>\n

390
\n00:29:58,100 –> 00:30:02,100
\nsays to him that overcometh.
\nWill I grant to sit with me and <\/p>\n

391
\n00:30:02,100 –> 00:30:07,400
\nmy throne?
\nEven as I overcame and a.m. set <\/p>\n

392
\n00:30:07,400 –> 00:30:10,600
\ndown with my father in his
\nthrone you see this is what the <\/p>\n

393
\n00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:15,500
\nLord and come to do.
\nHis great mission was to <\/p>\n

394
\n00:30:15,500 –> 00:30:22,100
\novercome the strong men in his
\nown house and to take something <\/p>\n

395
\n00:30:22,100 –> 00:30:25,100
\nfrom him.
\nAs the verse goes on to say, <\/p>\n

396
\n00:30:26,000 –> 00:30:30,100
\nVerse 22.
\nNot only shall he overcome him, <\/p>\n

397
\n00:30:30,300 –> 00:30:37,400
\nbut he will take from him all
\nhis armor wherein he trusteth. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:30:37,800 –> 00:30:40,900
\nNow, it’s interesting that that
\nword armor in the Greek as the <\/p>\n

399
\n00:30:40,900 –> 00:30:46,600
\nword pain of clear.
\nIt literally means full armor. <\/p>\n

400
\n00:30:47,600 –> 00:30:50,400
\nIt’s the word used.
\nIncidentally, in Ephesians 6, <\/p>\n

401
\n00:30:50,700 –> 00:30:54,500
\nverse 11 and verse 13, where
\nit’s translated hole. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:30:56,000 –> 00:30:58,800
\nAnd Vines is of the Greek word
\npanoply. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:30:59,300 –> 00:31:03,800
\nIt says, among the Greeks, the
\npain appear was the complete <\/p>\n

404
\n00:31:03,800 –> 00:31:08,900
\nequipment used by heavily armed
\ninfantry. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:12,400
\nSee this strong man was covered
\nin armor. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:31:12,400 –> 00:31:15,300
\nFrom top to toe, he was armed to
\nthe teeth. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:31:16,400 –> 00:31:22,500
\nAnd yet.
\nHe’d been defeated and the proof<\/p>\n

408
\n00:31:22,500 –> 00:31:26,200
\nof his defeat.
\nWas it all that armor? <\/p>\n

409
\n00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:31,100
\nWe when he trusted?
\nHad been taken by another the <\/p>\n

410
\n00:31:31,100 –> 00:31:36,800
\nstronger than he.
\nNow that is a Bible Eco. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:31:36,800 –> 00:31:38,700
\nIsn’t it brother and sisters
\nthat reminds us? <\/p>\n

412
\n00:31:38,900 –> 00:31:42,000
\nDon’t you think of another time
\nand another circumstance? <\/p>\n

413
\n00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:47,900
\nWhen a man Took the armor of he
\nwhom he had defeated now <\/p>\n

414
\n00:31:47,900 –> 00:31:49,500
\nwhereabouts.
\nIs that in the record? <\/p>\n

415
\n00:31:49,500 –> 00:31:53,000
\nIt’s in the first of Samuel
\nchapter 17, come back to the <\/p>\n

416
\n00:31:53,000 –> 00:31:55,600
\nBattle of David and Goliath.
\nAnd and just notice how <\/p>\n

417
\n00:31:55,600 –> 00:32:00,200
\nbeautifully the record of of
\nDavid’s conquest of Goliath is <\/p>\n

418
\n00:32:00,200 –> 00:32:04,200
\nclearly one of the Old Testament
\npassages that our Lord must have<\/p>\n

419
\n00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:09,100
\nhad in mind as he gave the
\nparable of the strong, man, and <\/p>\n

420
\n00:32:09,100 –> 00:32:15,500
\nLuke Chapter 11, so the record
\nsay is and perhaps reading first<\/p>\n

421
\n00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:22,900
\nof Samuel 17 verse 54
\nconnection, it says the so David<\/p>\n

422
\n00:32:22,900 –> 00:32:29,900
\nprevailed over the Philistine
\nwith a sling, and with a stone <\/p>\n

423
\n00:32:30,500 –> 00:32:37,400
\nand smote the Philistine and
\nslew him There was no sword in <\/p>\n

424
\n00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:41,600
\nthe hand of David there for
\nDavid ran and stood upon the <\/p>\n

425
\n00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:45,100
\nPhilistines and took his sword,
\ntook his sword and do it out of <\/p>\n

426
\n00:32:45,100 –> 00:32:48,400
\nthe sheet there of and slew him
\nand cut off his head, there with<\/p>\n

427
\n00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:50,600
\nthem.
\nWhen the Philistines saw their <\/p>\n

428
\n00:32:50,600 –> 00:32:57,200
\nChampion was dead, they fled.
\nSo how was David introduced to <\/p>\n

429
\n00:32:57,200 –> 00:33:03,900
\nthe nation of Israel?
\nAnd the answer is, why is the <\/p>\n

430
\n00:33:03,900 –> 00:33:10,200
\nman who was stronger than the
\nstrong, man, and able to bind <\/p>\n

431
\n00:33:10,200 –> 00:33:13,400
\nhim?
\nAnd when David did that the <\/p>\n

432
\n00:33:13,400 –> 00:33:16,800
\neffect upon his own people was
\nabsolutely electric. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:33:16,900 –> 00:33:20,000
\nYou see, they saw that the
\nchampion of the flesh that Gabor<\/p>\n

434
\n00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:22,700
\nof the strongman was utterly
\ndefeated. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:33:23,200 –> 00:33:28,600
\nAnd in that moment, they were
\ntransformed from those gripped <\/p>\n

436
\n00:33:28,600 –> 00:33:33,500
\nby the despair of facing
\ninevitable, bondage to those who<\/p>\n

437
\n00:33:33,500 –> 00:33:37,700
\nnever contemplate in Freedom
\nfrom their oppressor. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:33:37,800 –> 00:33:40,700
\nAnd that’s what Samuel goes on
\nto say, verse 52. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:33:40,900 –> 00:33:45,900
\nI’ll first of Samuel 17 says the
\nmen of Israel and of Judah arose<\/p>\n

440
\n00:33:45,900 –> 00:33:49,800
\nand shuttered and pursued the
\nPhilistines until our come to <\/p>\n

441
\n00:33:49,800 –> 00:33:51,500
\nthe valley into the gates of
\nekron. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:33:51,600 –> 00:33:54,100
\nAnd the wounded of the
\nPhilistines fell down, by the <\/p>\n

443
\n00:33:54,100 –> 00:33:58,500
\nway, to shut, array, and even
\nunto death, and untick Ron. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:33:58,500 –> 00:34:02,100
\nAnd suddenly the whole nation
\nwas emboldened to fight with <\/p>\n

445
\n00:34:02,100 –> 00:34:06,900
\ntheir hero.
\nDavid, Whose example inspired <\/p>\n

446
\n00:34:06,900 –> 00:34:10,800
\nthem.
\nIn fact, there’s 53 says the <\/p>\n

447
\n00:34:10,800 –> 00:34:14,100
\nchildren of Israel turned from
\nchasing after the Philistines <\/p>\n

448
\n00:34:14,199 –> 00:34:19,300
\nand they spoiled the intents.
\nYou know, you couldn’t rightly <\/p>\n

449
\n00:34:19,300 –> 00:34:25,600
\nunjustly understand that David
\nmight have claimed The Spoils of<\/p>\n

450
\n00:34:25,600 –> 00:34:29,300
\nWar that day has rightfully.
\nHere’s, don’t you think To the <\/p>\n

451
\n00:34:29,300 –> 00:34:33,500
\nvictor the spoils after all?
\nIt was he who had slain the <\/p>\n

452
\n00:34:33,500 –> 00:34:40,100
\nstrong man And the we could see
\nisn’t Samuel, that David was <\/p>\n

453
\n00:34:40,100 –> 00:34:45,000
\ncontent on that day, not to take
\nall to himself. <\/p>\n

454
\n00:34:46,300 –> 00:34:50,400
\nBut to share The Spoils of
\nVictory with the people they <\/p>\n

455
\n00:34:50,400 –> 00:34:53,800
\nspoiled, their tents says the
\nweek award. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:34:55,699 –> 00:34:58,800
\nBut do you notice what David did
\nclaim? <\/p>\n

457
\n00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:06,300
\nHe wanted two things for himself
\nand so we’re told in verse 54, <\/p>\n

458
\n00:35:06,300 –> 00:35:11,900
\nDavid took the head of the
\nPhilistine and brought it to <\/p>\n

459
\n00:35:11,900 –> 00:35:15,500
\nJerusalem.
\nHe took the head of the <\/p>\n

460
\n00:35:15,500 –> 00:35:22,800
\nstrongman and buried it in the
\ncity where the final Victory <\/p>\n

461
\n00:35:22,800 –> 00:35:26,600
\nagainst sin would be fought and
\nwon. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:35:28,100 –> 00:35:34,600
\nThe skull of Goliath probably
\ncame to rest at Golgotha, the <\/p>\n

463
\n00:35:34,600 –> 00:35:41,100
\nplace of the skull.
\nYou see David recognized that <\/p>\n

464
\n00:35:41,100 –> 00:35:47,200
\nhis victory over the giant was a
\nforeshadowing of the battle that<\/p>\n

465
\n00:35:47,200 –> 00:35:51,700
\nthe Lord would win against the
\nstrong man of sin in that very <\/p>\n

466
\n00:35:51,700 –> 00:35:57,700
\nplace.
\nBut this 54 also see is, did you<\/p>\n

467
\n00:35:57,700 –> 00:36:02,400
\nnotice?
\nAnd he put his armor. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:36:04,500 –> 00:36:11,700
\nIn his tent.
\nHe took Goliath’s Armor, All six<\/p>\n

469
\n00:36:11,700 –> 00:36:16,800
\npieces of it and placed it in
\nhis tent. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:36:17,000 –> 00:36:21,400
\nAs the proof of his victory.
\nIt was the armor. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:26,300
\nWe’re in Goliath had trusted
\nthat it failed to deliver him <\/p>\n

472
\n00:36:26,300 –> 00:36:30,700
\nfrom David Stone.
\nNow, he is surely, was the very <\/p>\n

473
\n00:36:30,700 –> 00:36:35,200
\nscripture that Christ had in
\nmind and how encouraged he must <\/p>\n

474
\n00:36:35,200 –> 00:36:38,900
\nhave been.
\nMy David’s marvelous Victory <\/p>\n

475
\n00:36:38,900 –> 00:36:41,700
\nagainst all the odds.
\nIn fact Christ, when he made <\/p>\n

476
\n00:36:41,700 –> 00:36:45,200
\nquotation from this episode said
\nthis is what Luke says when a <\/p>\n

477
\n00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:47,100
\nstronger than he shall come upon
\nthem and overcome. <\/p>\n

478
\n00:36:47,100 –> 00:36:53,400
\nHe taketh from him, all his
\narmor, wherein he trusteth all, <\/p>\n

479
\n00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:55,600
\nyes, bones.
\nAs I think the Lord had David <\/p>\n

480
\n00:36:55,600 –> 00:37:00,600
\nstory in mind, don’t you think?
\nSo, he was a champion just like <\/p>\n

481
\n00:37:00,600 –> 00:37:05,300
\nDavid who was prepared to share
\nthe rewards of his victory <\/p>\n

482
\n00:37:05,300 –> 00:37:09,200
\nbecause the Lord went Say, he
\ntaketh from a mall as armor. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:37:10,200 –> 00:37:17,700
\nAnd divideth his spoils.
\nAnd I wonder whether the Lord <\/p>\n

484
\n00:37:17,700 –> 00:37:21,900
\nhad another Old Testament
\npassage in mind and a famous one<\/p>\n

485
\n00:37:21,900 –> 00:37:27,500
\nat that when he added those
\nwords and divideth the spoils. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:37:28,900 –> 00:37:33,700
\nNow we as that find, that wasn’t
\nsisters, isn’t that eyes eyes? <\/p>\n

487
\n00:37:34,000 –> 00:37:36,800
\nProphecy of the suffering
\nservant, in Isaiah 53. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:37:36,800 –> 00:37:40,600
\nCome and have a look at the last
\ntwo verses of Isaiah 53, because<\/p>\n

489
\n00:37:40,900 –> 00:37:43,700
\nI think we can hear in the
\nLord’s words are further <\/p>\n

490
\n00:37:43,700 –> 00:37:48,600
\nallusion to this famous prophecy
\nabout his own sacrificial <\/p>\n

491
\n00:37:48,600 –> 00:37:52,600
\nsuffering and death.
\nNow, here’s what it says, in <\/p>\n

492
\n00:37:52,600 –> 00:37:55,800
\nIsaiah 53.
\nThis is 11 and 12. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:37:55,900 –> 00:38:02,000
\nHe shall see of the travail of
\nhis soul and shall be satisfied.<\/p>\n

494
\n00:38:03,400 –> 00:38:08,100
\nBy his knowledge shall my
\nrighteous servant justify many <\/p>\n

495
\n00:38:08,200 –> 00:38:10,300
\nfor he shall bear their
\niniquities. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:38:10,500 –> 00:38:15,000
\nTherefore will I divide him a
\nportion with the great and he <\/p>\n

497
\n00:38:15,600 –> 00:38:23,500
\nshall divide the spoil with the
\nstrong because he poured out his<\/p>\n

498
\n00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:26,200
\nsoul unto death and he was
\nnumbered with the transgressors <\/p>\n

499
\n00:38:26,200 –> 00:38:28,900
\nand he bare the sin of many and
\nmade intercession for the <\/p>\n

500
\n00:38:28,900 –> 00:38:32,900
\ntransgressors.
\nSee at such an astonishing in <\/p>\n

501
\n00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:36,100
\nThe prophecy of Isaiah 53, isn’t
\nthat ancestors? <\/p>\n

502
\n00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:41,300
\nIt’s all about submission and
\nsuffering about sorrow and death<\/p>\n

503
\n00:38:41,300 –> 00:38:47,900
\nand yet suddenly the chapter
\nends with the victory, march of <\/p>\n

504
\n00:38:47,900 –> 00:38:54,000
\nthe triumphant Warrior who
\nshares The Spoils of his amazing<\/p>\n

505
\n00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:59,000
\nVictory, with those who are
\nassociated with him, the many <\/p>\n

506
\n00:38:59,000 –> 00:39:03,000
\nwho matching in his strength
\nhave associated with him. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:39:03,200 –> 00:39:06,200
\nIn the battle.
\nJust as the Israelites did with <\/p>\n

508
\n00:39:06,200 –> 00:39:11,700
\nDavid in his day, And that’s
\nthis phrase out of Isaiah 53. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:39:11,900 –> 00:39:16,800
\nHe shall divide the spoil.
\nThat’s woven into Luke’s account<\/p>\n

510
\n00:39:16,800 –> 00:39:21,500
\nof The Binding of the strong man
\nand the spoiling of his house. <\/p>\n

511
\n00:39:21,500 –> 00:39:23,700
\nThat’s how Luke will conclude
\nthe parable. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:39:23,900 –> 00:39:27,400
\nWhen he says, in Luke 11 verse
\n22, he taketh from him, Alma’s <\/p>\n

513
\n00:39:27,400 –> 00:39:33,100
\narmor were in each fastest and
\ndivide of his spoils. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:39:34,700 –> 00:39:40,700
\nBut now come back to Luke’s
\ngospel and see how he draws the <\/p>\n

515
\n00:39:40,700 –> 00:39:46,400
\nfinal excitation out of this
\nstory for the purposes of the <\/p>\n

516
\n00:39:46,400 –> 00:39:50,100
\nLord’s hearers in the Lord’s own
\ntime. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:39:51,600 –> 00:39:57,200
\nBack in Luke chapter 11, we read
\nthese words and I think they’re <\/p>\n

518
\n00:39:57,200 –> 00:39:59,900
\nabsolutely connected with the
\nparable. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:40:00,900 –> 00:40:03,300
\nThe parable seems to finish and
\nLuke 11. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:40:03,400 –> 00:40:10,000
\nVerse 22, but not quite.
\nSo I think because in Luke 11 <\/p>\n

521
\n00:40:10,000 –> 00:40:14,800
\nverse 23, the Lord then said he
\nthat is not with me is against <\/p>\n

522
\n00:40:14,800 –> 00:40:21,300
\nme and he that gathereth not
\nwith me, scattereth Now, these <\/p>\n

523
\n00:40:21,300 –> 00:40:26,200
\nwords are taken from Brother
\nJohn Carter’s book Parables of <\/p>\n

524
\n00:40:26,200 –> 00:40:28,600
\nthe Messiah, in his brief
\ncomments on this. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:40:28,600 –> 00:40:34,900
\nParable in Pages, 81 and 82, dr.
\nCarter put it this way. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:40:36,200 –> 00:40:39,000
\nIn commenting on this.
\nSee that’s not with me is <\/p>\n

527
\n00:40:39,000 –> 00:40:43,000
\nagainst me and he that gathereth
\nnot with me, scattereth by the <\/p>\n

528
\n00:40:43,000 –> 00:40:49,000
\nCarter said soon was strong.
\nBut not invincible. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:40:50,400 –> 00:40:54,800
\nThere was a stronger than he who
\ncould bind him as a captive and <\/p>\n

530
\n00:40:54,800 –> 00:40:58,900
\nliberators captives.
\nThe power of Jesus to do, it was<\/p>\n

531
\n00:40:59,100 –> 00:41:03,000
\nshown in the removal by him then
\nand there of the effects of <\/p>\n

532
\n00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:09,500
\nSatan’s power over the demoniac,
\nbut since the work of Jesus is <\/p>\n

533
\n00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:13,500
\nthus seem to be related to the
\nconflict of sin and <\/p>\n

534
\n00:41:13,500 –> 00:41:18,600
\nrighteousness in the world.
\nMen are not allowed to be <\/p>\n

535
\n00:41:18,600 –> 00:41:23,100
\nneutrals.
\nTo espouse the cause of <\/p>\n

536
\n00:41:23,100 –> 00:41:28,900
\nrighteousness is a duty.
\nNeutrality is a help to the <\/p>\n

537
\n00:41:28,900 –> 00:41:32,600
\nenemy.
\nThe Pharisees accused Jesus of <\/p>\n

538
\n00:41:32,600 –> 00:41:38,500
\nalliance with Satan, his
\nrejoinder is a warning Jesus <\/p>\n

539
\n00:41:38,600 –> 00:41:43,100
\nclearly was in opposition to
\nSatan since he had destroyed <\/p>\n

540
\n00:41:43,100 –> 00:41:48,100
\nSatan’s works.
\nIf the Pharisees were not with <\/p>\n

541
\n00:41:48,100 –> 00:41:53,200
\nJesus, they must be on Satan’s
\nside. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:41:54,600 –> 00:41:56,500
\nIt was a terrible counter
\nthrust. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:41:57,700 –> 00:42:01,900
\nSee his brother Carter.
\nYou see the Lord had already <\/p>\n

544
\n00:42:01,900 –> 00:42:03,800
\nproved that.
\nHe was stronger than Satan and <\/p>\n

545
\n00:42:03,800 –> 00:42:06,200
\nopposed him that.
\nNow what the Lord has really <\/p>\n

546
\n00:42:06,200 –> 00:42:12,200
\nsaying and verse 23 years, if
\nyou’re not on my side, then <\/p>\n

547
\n00:42:12,200 –> 00:42:16,400
\nyou’re on Satan side was the
\nblunt answer of Christ and what <\/p>\n

548
\n00:42:16,400 –> 00:42:21,400
\na call to Arms.
\nThe Lord statement is whose side<\/p>\n

549
\n00:42:21,400 –> 00:42:28,300
\nare we on brothers and sisters,
\nNow, you’ve just come to the end<\/p>\n

550
\n00:42:28,300 –> 00:42:32,600
\nof the day.
\nWhen on Sunday, we come to <\/p>\n

551
\n00:42:32,600 –> 00:42:35,300
\nmemorialize what Christ has
\naccomplished. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:42:35,400 –> 00:42:38,300
\nWhat we do, come to the table of
\nthe Lord button, such as we come<\/p>\n

553
\n00:42:38,300 –> 00:42:40,900
\nto remember.
\nAnd to celebrate that Christ, <\/p>\n

554
\n00:42:40,900 –> 00:42:44,700
\nwas stronger than the strong man
\nof sin and death. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:48,600
\nAnd that, if he wasn’t there,
\neven such as where would we be? <\/p>\n

556
\n00:42:48,800 –> 00:42:52,800
\nWe come to confess at that
\ntable, that we’ve been unable to<\/p>\n

557
\n00:42:52,800 –> 00:42:56,900
\nbind the strong, man.
\nAnd that our Lord is the only <\/p>\n

558
\n00:42:56,900 –> 00:42:58,900
\nman who’s ever been able to
\novercome the power. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:42:58,900 –> 00:43:04,700
\nAnd soon part of the power of
\nthe memorials is that enables us<\/p>\n

560
\n00:43:04,700 –> 00:43:10,000
\nto reaffirm every week that we
\ncan’t do it. but that we wish to<\/p>\n

561
\n00:43:10,000 –> 00:43:15,700
\ndeclare our association with the
\nman who has It’s a natural <\/p>\n

562
\n00:43:15,700 –> 00:43:18,800
\nwonder and praise to recognize
\nthat. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:43:18,900 –> 00:43:22,300
\nNot only did Christ winter, the
\nstrongmen powers, but he <\/p>\n

564
\n00:43:22,300 –> 00:43:27,600
\nAdvanced into the very suitable
\nof Satan and from his Palace, he<\/p>\n

565
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:31,200
\nled captivity captive and that
\nwork of Deliverance. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:43:31,200 –> 00:43:35,100
\nBrings such a sense of relief to
\nthose who are burdened by <\/p>\n

567
\n00:43:35,100 –> 00:43:38,500
\nsymbol.
\nThat it is as real, as the <\/p>\n

568
\n00:43:38,500 –> 00:43:43,900
\nopening of a prison door to the
\nlong incarcerated prisoner. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:43:44,000 –> 00:43:47,600
\nBut the Real Wonder of his work.
\nBut insistence as this as little<\/p>\n

570
\n00:43:47,700 –> 00:43:53,400
\nas this little Parable concludes
\nis that our Lord is prepared to <\/p>\n

571
\n00:43:53,400 –> 00:43:56,900
\ndivide with us.
\nThe spoils. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:43:58,600 –> 00:44:02,300
\nThat he invites us to share in
\nhis Triumph. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:44:03,500 –> 00:44:10,000
\nOver the strongman.
\nBut he also asks us verse 23. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:44:11,000 –> 00:44:16,800
\nTo join him in the battle.
\nHe will only divide the spoils <\/p>\n

575
\n00:44:17,000 –> 00:44:20,900
\nwith those who have followed him
\nin the way. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:44:23,000 –> 00:44:25,700
\nSo how do we do, how do we own
\nthat will tell you what is <\/p>\n

577
\n00:44:25,700 –> 00:44:28,300
\nachieved, you see we will never
\nbind the strongman in the way <\/p>\n

578
\n00:44:28,300 –> 00:44:32,200
\nthat Christ did.
\nIt’s important that we recognize<\/p>\n

579
\n00:44:32,200 –> 00:44:37,000
\nthat his work was unique, he was
\nGod’s special strong one. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:44:37,300 –> 00:44:41,400
\nHe was endowed with gifts, he
\nwas imbued with powers that no <\/p>\n

581
\n00:44:41,400 –> 00:44:47,400
\nother man or woman would ever
\nhave Was done once and for all <\/p>\n

582
\n00:44:47,400 –> 00:44:51,000
\ntime in the work of Christ.
\nBut what he did is set an <\/p>\n

583
\n00:44:51,000 –> 00:44:55,500
\nexample for us to follow.
\nSo that his sacrifice is one of <\/p>\n

584
\n00:44:55,500 –> 00:44:59,400
\nrepresentation and not
\nsubstitution. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:44:59,400 –> 00:45:05,400
\nWe honor Christ brothers and
\nsisters by trying to understand <\/p>\n

586
\n00:45:05,400 –> 00:45:10,300
\nhow he bound the strongman and
\nthen seeking to emulate him, <\/p>\n

587
\n00:45:10,300 –> 00:45:14,700
\ndespite our lesson power lines.
\nSo the question is, as we move <\/p>\n

588
\n00:45:14,700 –> 00:45:18,900
\nfrom the Parable to the
\npractical. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:45:20,500 –> 00:45:25,400
\nHow did Christ bind the
\nstrongman the power of the <\/p>\n

590
\n00:45:25,400 –> 00:45:30,700
\ndiable loss in his own life?
\nWell, this is what he did. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:45:32,100 –> 00:45:36,700
\nHe filled his mind with his
\nfather’s thinking at his <\/p>\n

592
\n00:45:36,700 –> 00:45:42,000
\nfather’s will and he exhibited a
\nstrong bias towards obedience <\/p>\n

593
\n00:45:42,000 –> 00:45:46,300
\nand righteousness.
\nHe used the word as a weapon to <\/p>\n

594
\n00:45:46,300 –> 00:45:50,100
\nchild in those moments in his
\nlife when he felt the power of <\/p>\n

595
\n00:45:50,100 –> 00:45:53,200
\nthe pull of the strong, man, he
\nwas in all points tempted, like,<\/p>\n

596
\n00:45:53,200 –> 00:45:56,200
\nas we are says, Hebrews yet
\nwithout sin, he never wants to <\/p>\n

597
\n00:45:56,200 –> 00:45:58,800
\ncome.
\nHe never once yielded, he never <\/p>\n

598
\n00:45:58,800 –> 00:46:03,000
\nonce was enticed because the
\nthinking, Of the spirit. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:46:03,000 –> 00:46:05,400
\nSo dominated his mind as to rule
\nit. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:46:05,500 –> 00:46:08,500
\nWell, this is the process that
\nwe’ve got to try and emulate <\/p>\n

601
\n00:46:08,500 –> 00:46:11,700
\nwill fall short of his victory
\nbubble sisters, but we’ve got to<\/p>\n

602
\n00:46:11,700 –> 00:46:17,700
\ntry and copy him all the same.
\nso now think of a sin that <\/p>\n

603
\n00:46:17,700 –> 00:46:23,300
\nbesets you One that you’ve
\nstruggled with, in the past, <\/p>\n

604
\n00:46:24,000 –> 00:46:26,700
\nwe’ve all got them, but there’s
\nno systems. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:46:28,800 –> 00:46:32,900
\nCan you think of a Sim its grip
\nto in your life? <\/p>\n

606
\n00:46:34,900 –> 00:46:41,200
\nnow, think of the most powerful
\nBible verses that confront that <\/p>\n

607
\n00:46:41,200 –> 00:46:49,900
\nsin and teach what God really
\ndesires, Then write those verses<\/p>\n

608
\n00:46:49,900 –> 00:46:54,900
\nout and memorize them and recite
\nthem until they were ingrained <\/p>\n

609
\n00:46:55,800 –> 00:47:00,000
\nin your thinking.
\nKnow what the first triggers <\/p>\n

610
\n00:47:00,000 –> 00:47:04,900
\ntowards that sin are in your own
\nlife and practice bringing the <\/p>\n

611
\n00:47:04,900 –> 00:47:08,000
\nsword of the spirit and the
\ncombat by referring, to those <\/p>\n

612
\n00:47:08,000 –> 00:47:11,200
\nverses, to about the thought and
\nwe direct your attention to a <\/p>\n

613
\n00:47:11,200 –> 00:47:14,400
\nbetter path and do it, as soon
\nas the moment arises and not a <\/p>\n

614
\n00:47:14,400 –> 00:47:20,100
\nmoment later, develop a bias
\ntowards obeying. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:47:20,100 –> 00:47:24,800
\nGod a desire to love
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:47:25,800 –> 00:47:30,000
\nAnd hate wickedness.
\nNow will we fail? <\/p>\n

617
\n00:47:30,900 –> 00:47:36,300
\nOf course we will but we will
\nknow nevertheless that we’re <\/p>\n

618
\n00:47:36,300 –> 00:47:39,800
\nwalking in the footsteps of Our
\nLord. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:47:40,900 –> 00:47:45,700
\nAnd we will strive to march with
\nhim in this battle until the <\/p>\n

620
\n00:47:45,700 –> 00:47:50,700
\nkingdom comes.
\nHow much better will the kingdom<\/p>\n

621
\n00:47:50,700 –> 00:47:53,200
\nage be?
\nWhen the strong one of God, will<\/p>\n

622
\n00:47:53,200 –> 00:47:56,900
\nrain and symbol be so greatly?
\nDiminished that godliness can <\/p>\n

623
\n00:47:56,900 –> 00:47:59,700
\nflush Christ.
\nInvites Us, by the way to join <\/p>\n

624
\n00:47:59,700 –> 00:48:03,000
\nus and that work in the age to
\ncome to be with him. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:48:03,300 –> 00:48:07,200
\nBut notice how wonderfully that
\nwork as described in the <\/p>\n

626
\n00:48:07,200 –> 00:48:09,400
\napocalypse.
\nIf you come to Revelation <\/p>\n

627
\n00:48:09,400 –> 00:48:15,200
\nchapter 20, We’re told this in
\nRevelation, chapter 20 and and <\/p>\n

628
\n00:48:15,200 –> 00:48:18,000
\nsomething there’s just one
\nlittle phrase that that jumps <\/p>\n

629
\n00:48:18,100 –> 00:48:21,700
\nout of the narratives, that
\nreminds us of the story of our <\/p>\n

630
\n00:48:21,700 –> 00:48:25,900
\nParable.
\nThis evening, Revelation chapter<\/p>\n

631
\n00:48:25,900 –> 00:48:33,200
\n20 C is in verse 1 and I saw an
\nangel coming down from heaven, <\/p>\n

632
\n00:48:33,200 –> 00:48:36,600
\nhaving the key of the bottomless
\npit and a great chain in his <\/p>\n

633
\n00:48:36,600 –> 00:48:41,500
\nhand.
\nAnd he lay he laid, hold on the <\/p>\n

634
\n00:48:41,500 –> 00:48:46,600
\ndragon that old serpent, which
\nis the devil and Satan. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:48:47,900 –> 00:48:52,000
\nAnd bound him a thousand years
\nand cast him into the bottomless<\/p>\n

636
\n00:48:52,000 –> 00:48:54,400
\npit and shut him up and set a
\nseal upon him that he should <\/p>\n

637
\n00:48:54,400 –> 00:48:59,300
\ndeceive the nation’s no more
\ntill the Thousand Years should <\/p>\n

638
\n00:48:59,300 –> 00:49:01,900
\nbe fulfilled.
\nSo the work of the Saints and <\/p>\n

639
\n00:49:01,900 –> 00:49:06,000
\nthe kingdom will be to assist
\nChrist in restricting and <\/p>\n

640
\n00:49:06,000 –> 00:49:11,300
\nsubduing, the power of sin.
\nBut it’s a work described. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:49:11,300 –> 00:49:15,900
\nIn these words says verse 2, he
\nlaid hold on that old. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:49:15,900 –> 00:49:22,300
\nSerpent Satan and bound him a
\nthousand years and as soon as we<\/p>\n

643
\n00:49:22,300 –> 00:49:25,800
\nhear that phrase in Revelation
\nchapter 20, our minds <\/p>\n

644
\n00:49:25,800 –> 00:49:28,300
\nimmediately do they not have
\nthem such as go back to Mark <\/p>\n

645
\n00:49:28,300 –> 00:49:31,900
\nchapter 3 verse 57?
\nNo man can enter into a strong <\/p>\n

646
\n00:49:31,900 –> 00:49:37,900
\nmans house and spoil his Goods
\nexcept he will first. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:49:39,200 –> 00:49:45,700
\nBind the strong, man.
\nHe is an echo of that parable. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:49:47,200 –> 00:49:51,700
\nIn the book of the Apocalypse to
\nshow that the work of binding, <\/p>\n

649
\n00:49:51,700 –> 00:49:56,400
\nwhich the Lord commenced in the
\nvictory of his first-ever themed<\/p>\n

650
\n00:49:57,300 –> 00:50:01,000
\nwill be continued throughout the
\nkingdom age. <\/p>\n

651
\n00:50:02,200 –> 00:50:06,200
\nUntil finally, the strongman of
\nSinners fully overthrown. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:50:08,500 –> 00:50:12,100
\nThat we won’t be invited to work
\nwith him and binding, the power <\/p>\n

653
\n00:50:12,100 –> 00:50:18,100
\nof sin and the kingdom. unless
\nwe followed him today in <\/p>\n

654
\n00:50:18,100 –> 00:50:24,400
\nseeking, to bind the thinking of
\nthe Flesh in our own lives, Our <\/p>\n

655
\n00:50:24,400 –> 00:50:29,800
\nstruggle against sin.
\nIs part of our preparation for <\/p>\n

656
\n00:50:29,800 –> 00:50:35,000
\nthe kingdom age. but the promise
\nof the word is that we can <\/p>\n

657
\n00:50:35,000 –> 00:50:41,800
\naccomplish in Christ, what we
\ncannot accomplish in our own <\/p>\n

658
\n00:50:41,800 –> 00:50:45,800
\nstrength.
\nHow thankful we should be button<\/p>\n

659
\n00:50:45,800 –> 00:50:49,000
\nsisters for the wisdom of the
\nword and for the teaching of our<\/p>\n

660
\n00:50:49,000 –> 00:50:53,700
\nLord, Jesus Christ.
\nIn such a powerful and <\/p>\n

661
