Class 3 from this series was used for GCT Episode 245<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,040 –> 00:00:06,640
\nfor today.
\nIt’s our fifth class in this <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,640 –> 00:00:10,720
\nwonderful series that has so
\nmuch food for thought. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,960 –> 00:00:15,440
\nJohn the Baptist allowing God to
\nspeak to hearts. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:20,200
\nAnd I’m sure you’ll you’ll agree
\nwith me that our brother Ryan <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:20,800 –> 00:00:23,840
\nhas really expounded God’s word
\nin a way that opened our hearts <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:23,840 –> 00:00:28,120
\nand minds to receive this
\nungrafted word therein. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:30,800
\nAnd.
\nTraverse as we traverse this <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:30,800 –> 00:00:33,040
\npath to God’s Kingdom.
\nSo we come now to our final <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:33,040 –> 00:00:36,760
\nclass today.
\nAnd without any further delay, <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:37,120 –> 00:00:40,120
\nI’ll invite our brother Ryan
\nonce more for today. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:40,600 –> 00:00:44,680
\nClass #4.
\nFulfilling all righteousness. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:45,520 –> 00:00:57,020
\nBrother Ryan.
\nThank you, Brother Nigel. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:57,780 –> 00:01:00,060
\nGood afternoon.
\nOne more time, Brothers and <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:00,060 –> 00:01:02,180
\nsisters, we’ve done a really
\ngood job of sticking to our <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:02,180 –> 00:01:03,020
\nschedule.
\nToday. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:04,489 –> 00:01:07,130
\nSo we we left John on the desert
\nfloor, giving us that very <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:07,130 –> 00:01:11,010
\nrousing exhortation to live
\nwithin our means, to live a <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:11,010 –> 00:01:15,090
\nquiet and simple life.
\nWith the ability to isolate <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:15,090 –> 00:01:17,530
\nourselves from this.
\nTerrible world and and allow the<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:17,530 –> 00:01:20,370
\nvoice of.
\nGod to speak to our hearts. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:20,850 –> 00:01:23,650
\nAnd I think if you’ve learned
\nthat one lesson today, brothers <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:23,650 –> 00:01:26,010
\nand sisters, then we’ve all
\ntaken a gigantic. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:26,010 –> 00:01:28,490
\nStep forward to.
\nThe Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:28,490 –> 00:01:32,570
\nBecause there really is no other
\nway to the Kingdom than that. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:33,680 –> 00:01:36,760
\nBut a new phase is coming for
\nJohn and for. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:36,960 –> 00:01:40,240
\nIsrael is the words of the
\nProphet are about to be <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:40,240 –> 00:01:42,400
\nfulfilled.
\nBehold, I send my messenger, <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:43,080 –> 00:01:45,720
\nwhich was John and he.
\nWill clear the way. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:45,720 –> 00:01:47,680
\nBefore me and the Lord, whom ye?
\nSeek. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:47,960 –> 00:01:49,760
\nThat’s the Lord Jesus Christ
\nwill suddenly. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:49,760 –> 00:01:54,800
\nCome to his temple, even the
\nmessenger of the covenant, you <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:54,800 –> 00:01:58,120
\nknow, whilst John was down there
\nat the river Jordan, baptizing <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:58,160 –> 00:02:01,200
\nothers, he.
\nWas in a fervor of expectancy. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:02,960 –> 00:02:08,280
\nBecause he knew one day anytime
\nthe one of whom the Old <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:08,280 –> 00:02:11,960
\nTestament had spoken would
\narrive, the one in whom the the.<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:11,960 –> 00:02:15,280
\nPurpose of God was to be
\nvocalized. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:15,280 –> 00:02:18,640
\nAnd and you can imagine, John is
\nall Judea, and all Jerusalem is <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:18,640 –> 00:02:21,680
\ncoming down to hear him one
\nafter the other, the common <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:21,680 –> 00:02:24,080
\npeople.
\nThe soldiers, the Pharisees, the<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:24,080 –> 00:02:27,360
\ntax collectors.
\nHe knew one day that one would <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:29,880
\nstep.
\nOut of that crowd, who was? <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:33,560
\nTo be the Messiah.
\nAnd you can imagine in his body <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:33,560 –> 00:02:37,080
\njust quivering with.
\nExcitement as he awaited. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:37,360 –> 00:02:39,440
\nThat day and and.
\nIsn’t that the state? <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:39,720 –> 00:02:41,360
\nThat you and I should be in
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:41,520 –> 00:02:43,480
\nThe Lord is almost here any day
\nnow. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:43,480 –> 00:02:45,440
\nWe know he’s.
\nGoing to step forth. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:51,360
\nAnd proclaim himself any day now
\nthe the Messiah, the the <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:55,000
\nmessenger of the covenant.
\nIs to arrive. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:56,280 –> 00:02:59,560
\nWe have to be in that fervor of
\nexpectancy that John was in. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:00,590 –> 00:03:05,510
\nSalvation will only be to.
\nThose who love his appearing the<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:05,510 –> 00:03:07,870
\nlaw of the prophets, said the
\nLord Jesus. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:07,870 –> 00:03:10,550
\nChrist were until.
\nJohn but. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:10,710 –> 00:03:12,710
\nNow we come to.
\nThis this great. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:12,710 –> 00:03:15,270
\nTransition.
\nSo let’s start now in John <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:15,270 –> 00:03:20,550
\nchapter one as the excitement
\nand the the tension is is <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:20,550 –> 00:03:22,470
\nbuilding within John is that
\nday. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:22,790 –> 00:03:25,270
\nApproached.
\nNow John is. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:25,270 –> 00:03:28,190
\nOf course, speaking these words
\nhere, he’s he’s speaking them <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:28,190 –> 00:03:31,730
\nin.
\nIn hindsight, and this was <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:31,770 –> 00:03:34,890
\nJohn’s statement as he was
\nlooking for the. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:34,890 –> 00:03:40,050
\nLord Jesus Christ verse. 29 of
\nJohn chapter one the next day <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:40,570 –> 00:03:44,130
\nJohn one verse 29 John seeth
\nJesus coming unto him, and said,<\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:44,130 –> 00:03:45,530
\nBehold.
\nThe Lamb of God. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:45,530 –> 00:03:47,290
\nWhich taketh away the sin of
\nthe. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:47,290 –> 00:03:52,130
\nWorld this is.
\nHe of whom I said after me come <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:52,130 –> 00:03:54,090
\nwith a man which is performed
\nbefore me. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:54,530 –> 00:03:58,850
\nFor he was before me.
\nAnd I knew him not. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:59,690 –> 00:04:01,250
\nBut that he should be made
\nmanifest. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:01,250 –> 00:04:04,690
\nTo Israel, therefore.
\nI am come baptizing. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:05,050 –> 00:04:08,770
\nWith water.
\nNow I knew him. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:08,770 –> 00:04:11,970
\nNot now John the Baptist knew.
\nJesus, personally. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:12,410 –> 00:04:13,810
\nI mean they.
\nWere cousins. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:14,130 –> 00:04:17,450
\nSo he knew.
\nWho he was, clearly, But what? <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:17,450 –> 00:04:20,250
\nJohn didn’t know.
\nHere was that that. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:20,250 –> 00:04:23,610
\nPerson who made always known.
\nWas to be. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:23,770 –> 00:04:27,700
\nThe Messiah.
\nAnd we learn also from verse 31 <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:27,700 –> 00:04:31,460
\nthat John’s task was not.
\nJust to baptize others. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:31,460 –> 00:04:33,980
\nBut in that very.
\nProcess. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:35,100 –> 00:04:38,020
\nOne day, out of the thousands
\nthat came down there to see <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:38,020 –> 00:04:39,980
\nJohn.
\nOne day, Messiah would. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:39,980 –> 00:04:41,940
\nAppear and the way that Messiah
\nwas to be. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:41,980 –> 00:04:45,260
\nManifested to Israel was through
\nthe waters of. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:45,260 –> 00:04:50,220
\nBaptism in Jordan.
\nI knew him, not verse 31. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:50,660 –> 00:04:53,660
\nTherefore I am come baptizing.
\nWith what it was through. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:53,990 –> 00:04:55,990
\nThe act of.
\nBaptism that Messiah. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:56,270 –> 00:05:01,750
\nWould be revealed to Israel.
\nAnd as we’ll see this morning or<\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:01,750 –> 00:05:04,990
\nthis afternoon rather, it was
\nabsolutely necessary that <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:04,990 –> 00:05:09,590
\nMessiah be manifest and
\nintroduced to the nation in that<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:09,590 –> 00:05:11,430
\nway.
\nIt wasn’t just that the the <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:11,430 –> 00:05:13,470
\ncrowds were.
\nThere, and it would draw a lot <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:13,470 –> 00:05:16,950
\nof attention, those and sisters.
\nIt was, absolutely. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:16,950 –> 00:05:21,750
\nEssential that Jesus go.
\nThrough the River Jordan, as we <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:21,750 –> 00:05:24,250
\nshall see.
\nSo whilst we’re here in John <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:24,250 –> 00:05:27,410
\nchapter one, we note the the
\nextraordinary description in <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:27,410 –> 00:05:30,970
\nverse 29.
\nThe next day John seeth Jesus <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:30,970 –> 00:05:34,570
\ncoming unto him and said Behold
\nthe Lamb of. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:34,570 –> 00:05:37,690
\nGod which taketh away.
\nThe sin of the world. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:37,690 –> 00:05:40,170
\nNow that is a monumental
\nstatement. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:40,890 –> 00:05:44,530
\nJohn is not just saying here
\nthat the Lord was meek and mild.<\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:46,290 –> 00:05:51,650
\nYou will never find in the Old
\nTestament anywhere a male lamb <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:51,810 –> 00:05:55,360
\nfor a sin offering.
\nIt’s not in the law, it’s not in<\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:55,360 –> 00:05:57,680
\nthe Psalms, it’s not in the
\nProphets. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:58,680 –> 00:06:02,080
\nYou’ll find a female lamb for a
\nsin offering, but you will never<\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:05,000
\nfind a male lamb for a sin
\noffering. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:08,720
\nAnd he’s saying here in verse
\n29, here comes one that the law <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:08,720 –> 00:06:14,200
\nnever foresaw the Lamb of God.
\nWhich taketh away the sin. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:14,520 –> 00:06:16,280
\nNot just of Jewish.
\nPeople. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:17,240 –> 00:06:20,160
\nBut the sin of.
\nThe world. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:24,560
\nSo it was never seen anywhere in
\nthe law, and it’s efficacious <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:24,560 –> 00:06:27,360
\nfor more than just Jewish
\npeople. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:32,200
\nWhat a statement, the Lamb of
\nGod that taketh away the sin of <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:32,200 –> 00:06:35,920
\nthe world and John was waiting
\nfor that lamb to be manifest at.<\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:35,920 –> 00:06:38,920
\nJordan.
\nI mentioned a moment ago that. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:38,920 –> 00:06:40,960
\nIt had to be.
\nThis way and had to be this way.<\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:40,960 –> 00:06:45,360
\nFor several reasons, it wasn’t
\njust as. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:45,480 –> 00:06:48,080
\nAn example.
\nIt wasn’t just because the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:48,080 –> 00:06:51,830
\ncrowds were there.
\nI only know three men in the <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:51,830 –> 00:06:56,150
\nBible who were manifested.
\nTo Israel by. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:56,150 –> 00:06:57,550
\nComing up out of.
\nJordan. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:58,270 –> 00:06:59,870
\nAnd this?
\nThis is absolutely. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:59,870 –> 00:07:01,390
\nFascinating.
\nAnd what God did was to <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:01,390 –> 00:07:05,310
\ndemonstrate their leadership and
\nto put them forth as the great <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:05,310 –> 00:07:07,230
\ncaptain of.
\nGod’s people. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:07,790 –> 00:07:09,830
\nBy bringing them.
\nUp out of that. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:09,830 –> 00:07:13,870
\nRiver now those three men of.
\nCourse were Joshua, Elijah. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:14,550 –> 00:07:17,310
\nAnd the Lord.
\nJesus Christ, Let’s just take <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:17,310 –> 00:07:20,030
\nJoshua first of all and Joshua
\nchapter 3. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:20,560 –> 00:07:23,320
\nAnd we’ll see why.
\nIt was that the Lord. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:23,320 –> 00:07:25,440
\nHad to be manifest to Israel
\ncoming up. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:25,800 –> 00:07:29,960
\nOut of that river Joshua Chapter
\nthree, first of all. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:29,960 –> 00:07:32,040
\nWe’ll just.
\nGo through these quickly. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:32,680 –> 00:07:34,840
\nJust to get the point, it’s.
\nVery simple to grasp. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:39,040
\nMoses has passed off the scene
\nand there would have been much <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:39,040 –> 00:07:40,960
\napprehension about who the new
\nleader. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:41,240 –> 00:07:45,920
\nWas to be so God says to Joshua
\nJoshua three verse. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:45,920 –> 00:07:48,840
\nSeven.
\nThis day will I begin to magnify<\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:48,840 –> 00:07:50,260
\nthe.
\nIn the sight. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:50,260 –> 00:07:53,900
\nOf all Israel that.
\nThey may know that as I was with<\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:53,900 –> 00:07:55,500
\nMoses, so.
\nWill I be with? <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:55,500 –> 00:07:57,540
\nThee.
\nAnd how was that? <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:57,540 –> 00:08:00,580
\nHow was that to be done?
\nThou shalt command the priest. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:00,580 –> 00:08:03,660
\nThat bear the arc of the.
\nCovenant of saying, when you are<\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:03,660 –> 00:08:05,500
\ncome to the brink.
\nOf the water of. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:05,500 –> 00:08:08,700
\nJordan.
\nYe shall stand still in Jordan. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:08,700 –> 00:08:09,900
\nNow you see what was being done
\nhere. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:10,140 –> 00:08:12,740
\nThis day.
\nJoshua, I will magnify you in <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:12,740 –> 00:08:14,980
\nthe sight of all Israel.
\nNow go and tell the. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:14,980 –> 00:08:16,420
\nPriest to put their.
\nFeet in Jordan. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:17,590 –> 00:08:19,830
\nAnd as the priest, of course,
\nput their feet in Jordan, the <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:19,950 –> 00:08:22,350
\narc of the covenant would then
\npass. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:22,750 –> 00:08:26,110
\nOver Jordan verse 11, Behold the
\narc. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:26,150 –> 00:08:29,390
\nOf the covenant.
\nOf the Lord of all the earth <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:29,390 –> 00:08:32,909
\npasses over before you.
\nInto Jordan and. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:33,270 –> 00:08:35,750
\nThat arc there.
\nRepresented, of course, the <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:35,750 –> 00:08:39,950
\nleadership of the nation for.
\nWhich Joshua stood so as? <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:39,950 –> 00:08:44,190
\nThe arc went over Jordan.
\nJoshua was magnified in the <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:44,190 –> 00:08:45,830
\nsight.
\nOf all Israel. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:46,280 –> 00:08:48,880
\nAnd Yahweh showed his.
\nAcceptance of Joshua by. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:48,880 –> 00:08:51,080
\nConnecting him with the Ark
\ngoing. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:51,240 –> 00:08:54,600
\nOver the River Jordan.
\nBy getting. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:54,600 –> 00:08:59,800
\nAcross that particular river,
\nthat’s the first case. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:00,360 –> 00:09:05,360
\nThe next case, Second Kings
\nChapter 2, Elijah is gone. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:07,360 –> 00:09:09,120
\nHe’s left.
\nThe Earth in a storm, The <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:09,120 –> 00:09:11,160
\nquestion.
\nIs who is. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:11,160 –> 00:09:13,080
\nGoing to be his.
\nSuccessor. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:14,520 –> 00:09:18,280
\nThere were 50 aspirants for the
\njob, 51 if you count Elijah. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:19,920 –> 00:09:23,120
\nAnd how did God manifest his
\nacceptance of? <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:23,200 –> 00:09:32,240
\nElijah verse. 13 Second Kings.
\nChapter 2 he took up. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:32,240 –> 00:09:35,200
\nAlso the mantle of Elijah that
\nfell from him and went back and <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:35,200 –> 00:09:40,280
\nstood where by the Bank of
\nJordan and he took the mantle. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:40,280 –> 00:09:42,720
\nOf Elijah that fell.
\nFrom him and smote the waters <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:42,720 –> 00:09:45,470
\nand said.
\nWhere is Yahweh Elohim of <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:45,470 –> 00:09:47,270
\nElijah?
\nSo the question. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:47,270 –> 00:09:51,430
\nHere is is Where did God go?
\nDid he leave with Elijah or is <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:51,430 –> 00:09:53,470
\nthe?
\nStill small voice still working <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:53,670 –> 00:09:56,190
\nin Israel.
\nElijah picks up Elijah’s. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:56,190 –> 00:09:59,350
\nMantle and he whacks.
\nThe River Jordan. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:00,190 –> 00:10:03,910
\nAnd what does Jordan do?
\nIt goes back and Elijah goes <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:03,910 –> 00:10:05,550
\nright across into the promised
\nland. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:05,990 –> 00:10:08,310
\nWhere is.
\nYahweh Elohim of Elijah. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:09,910 –> 00:10:11,750
\nHe smites the waters and goes
\nover. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:12,230 –> 00:10:15,630
\nAnd verse 15 What do?
\nThey say, well, the spirit of <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:15,630 –> 00:10:17,710
\nElijah.
\nMust rest upon. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:17,710 –> 00:10:21,590
\nElijah and.
\nThey came to meet him and bowed <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:21,590 –> 00:10:23,950
\nthemselves to the ground before
\nhim. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:24,150 –> 00:10:25,950
\nSo when the.
\nSuccessor to Elijah. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:25,950 –> 00:10:28,830
\nCame he had to be manifest by.
\nComing out of what? <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:29,430 –> 00:10:32,630
\nJordan and he takes the man of.
\nElijah’s hits the water. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:32,630 –> 00:10:36,790
\nAnd back it.
\nGoes Yahweh manifested his <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:36,910 –> 00:10:39,670
\napproval of the great captain
\nby. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:39,670 –> 00:10:41,750
\nBringing him out.
\nOf. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:42,190 –> 00:10:44,910
\nJordan so.
\nIt begs the question then, well,<\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:44,910 –> 00:10:49,510
\nwhy those three men, Joshua,
\nElijah and the Lord? <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:49,590 –> 00:10:52,550
\nJesus Christ.
\nWell, the 1st. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:52,550 –> 00:10:55,110
\nReason, of course.
\nIs is that they all? <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:55,110 –> 00:10:58,150
\nBasically have the same name.
\nTwo of them are. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:58,150 –> 00:11:02,070
\nIdentical Joshua Yahashua.
\nIs the name. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:02,070 –> 00:11:04,750
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ.
\nJesus is but the. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:04,750 –> 00:11:10,030
\nGreek equivalent and Elijah
\nmeans the salvation of God and <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:10,030 –> 00:11:11,550
\nthey were.
\nAll manifested. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:15,520
\nAs Yahweh’s.
\nSalvation in coming up out of <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:15,520 –> 00:11:17,520
\nthat river.
\nThis day. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:17,520 –> 00:11:21,520
\nWill I begin to magnify thee?
\nThe spirit of Elijah dot the <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:21,520 –> 00:11:27,160
\nrest upon Elijah this.
\nIs my beloved son in whom I am <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:27,160 –> 00:11:29,960
\nwell pleased.
\nThat’s the answer to question <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:29,960 –> 00:11:32,360
\nnumber one.
\nQuestion #2 is. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:32,360 –> 00:11:34,880
\nWhy the River Jordan?
\nWhy would God? <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:34,880 –> 00:11:36,920
\nChoose to bring them.
\nOut. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:37,360 –> 00:11:39,160
\nOf Jordan.
\nI think we can see the <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:39,160 –> 00:11:40,760
\nconnection between the three
\nmen, but. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:41,650 –> 00:11:43,850
\nWhy?
\nJordan. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:45,170 –> 00:11:48,290
\nWell, the answer that, brothers
\nand sisters, lies in the very. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:48,290 –> 00:11:51,170
\nClear.
\nLesson for which Jordan stood. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:52,770 –> 00:11:54,690
\nYou see, Jordan begins way up
\nnorth. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:55,850 –> 00:11:58,410
\nThe melting snows come off of
\nHerman. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:58,410 –> 00:12:01,410
\nThey they go down and they form
\nthe river. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:01,410 –> 00:12:03,690
\nJordan is it.
\nYou burst from the ground up <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:03,690 –> 00:12:06,970
\nthere at Bannius.
\nThe water is crystal. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:06,970 –> 00:12:09,490
\nClear.
\nIn many places it’s. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:09,870 –> 00:12:12,350
\nIt’s emerald green when it
\nstarts off. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:13,870 –> 00:12:16,630
\nIt starts off pure.
\nGod made man upright. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:17,390 –> 00:12:23,430
\nSays Ecclesiastes.
\nThen you go down 30 miles South.<\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:25,470 –> 00:12:28,790
\nThe water turns brown.
\nMurky and. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:29,790 –> 00:12:33,710
\nThe name Jordan means the
\ndescender. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:34,670 –> 00:12:39,110
\nIt starts pure and as you make
\nyour way down it gets dirtier. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:39,400 –> 00:12:41,280
\nAnd dirtier.
\nAnd dirtier. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:41,920 –> 00:12:44,440
\nIt has a long, long course and
\nlane. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:44,440 –> 00:12:45,960
\nYou see it starts way up in the
\nnorth. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:45,960 –> 00:12:48,480
\nAt the top this lake, this body
\nof. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:48,480 –> 00:12:50,000
\nWater you see in the middle.
\nIs the sea. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:52,880
\nOf Galilee the Jordan goes in
\nthe top of. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:52,880 –> 00:12:56,960
\nThe Sea of Galilee.
\nAnd then it comes out the bottom<\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:57,560 –> 00:12:59,880
\nand then continues to flow
\nSouth. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:00,440 –> 00:13:03,200
\nIt starts right up at.
\nHerman, 9000. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:06,640
\nFeet above sea level.
\nBeautiful. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:06,920 –> 00:13:09,650
\nClear.
\nLike, like, like the like the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:09,650 –> 00:13:13,130
\nface of the high priest, says
\nPsalm. 133 but as it makes. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:13,130 –> 00:13:14,850
\nIts way South it.
\nGets brown. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:15,050 –> 00:13:18,370
\nIt descends.
\nHerman is 9000. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:18,370 –> 00:13:20,810
\nFeet above sea level, the Sea of
\nGalilee. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:20,970 –> 00:13:24,610
\nIs 690. 2 feet below sea level
\nat Galilee. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:24,650 –> 00:13:25,810
\nWe’re not even to the Dead Sea
\nyet. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:26,010 –> 00:13:29,170
\nAt Galilee it’s 6. 192 feet
\nbelow sea level. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:29,170 –> 00:13:33,810
\nWe’ve gone down almost 10,000
\nfeet in the space of about 40 <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:33,810 –> 00:13:37,930
\nmiles Jordan ever stood,
\nbrothers and sisters, for. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:38,410 –> 00:13:39,650
\nThe.
\nFlesh, and of course. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:40,930 –> 00:13:42,730
\nThe Sea of Galilee.
\nWhich we really won’t have time <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:42,730 –> 00:13:45,050
\nto talk about.
\nIt’s the sea of the nation. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:45,050 –> 00:13:48,170
\nSo it’s it’s the wild rough.
\nSea Jordan goes in. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:48,170 –> 00:13:49,970
\nThe top of.
\nGalilee, and then comes out the <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:49,970 –> 00:13:51,890
\nbottom.
\nOf Galilee. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:52,330 –> 00:13:56,050
\nIt stands for the flesh.
\nAnd who can overcome the flesh? <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:57,530 –> 00:14:00,890
\nNobody.
\nWell, eventually Jordan comes <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:00,890 –> 00:14:02,730
\nout of the.
\nBottom of the Sea of Galilee, <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:02,730 –> 00:14:04,850
\nthere’s the Golan Heights.
\nThere, in the background, here’s<\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:04,850 –> 00:14:06,750
\nJordan coming out of the.
\nThe. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:06,870 –> 00:14:12,230
\nBottom of the lake.
\nIt’s 65 miles from the bottom. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:12,230 –> 00:14:14,630
\nOf the Sea of Galilee to the top
\nof the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:16,110 –> 00:14:17,990
\nAnd Jordan as.
\nIt makes its way. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:17,990 –> 00:14:20,670
\nDown to the sea.
\nTo to the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:21,230 –> 00:14:25,710
\nThe lowest place on earth.
\nIt’s this winding course. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:26,270 –> 00:14:28,070
\nYou know what it’s like.
\nIt looks exactly like the <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:28,070 –> 00:14:32,470
\nwinding of a snake as it goes
\ndown and down and down. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:32,470 –> 00:14:34,720
\nTowards the Dead Sea.
\nJordan. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:34,720 –> 00:14:35,760
\nEver.
\nStood for the. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:35,760 –> 00:14:38,320
\nFlesh, and anybody who can get
\nthrough that river who can be <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:38,320 –> 00:14:43,640
\nbrought out of it, must be.
\nYahweh’s salvation. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:44,160 –> 00:14:45,680
\nSo it’s absolutely critical that
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:45,680 –> 00:14:51,200
\nJesus Christ be manifested.
\nAt that place and if you <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:51,200 –> 00:14:52,560
\nthought.
\nIt was brown up north. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:52,640 –> 00:14:56,650
\nYou should see it down South.
\nAnd it gets more turgid, more <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:56,650 –> 00:14:57,930
\nstagnant.
\nIt moves. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:57,930 –> 00:15:01,330
\nSo slow they’ve actually.
\nGot to use machines nowadays to <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:01,370 –> 00:15:05,250
\npush it along.
\nIt’s so slow and stagnant, man. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:05,250 –> 00:15:08,370
\nStarts off great, doesn’t it,
\nyou know? <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:08,730 –> 00:15:10,730
\nYou got a bundle.
\nOf joy in your arms. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:11,530 –> 00:15:12,850
\nHis brother, Robert said it’s
\nalso. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:12,850 –> 00:15:18,530
\nA bundle of propensities, and it
\ngoes down and down and down so. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:19,370 –> 00:15:24,730
\nThat’s where we started.
\nUp north, beautiful clear. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:26,350 –> 00:15:28,070
\nAnd here’s where we are as we go
\ndown South. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:28,870 –> 00:15:31,190
\nA muddy, stinking stream.
\nYou know you. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:31,190 –> 00:15:33,270
\nSee these kids?
\nBooks and these books. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:33,270 –> 00:15:36,670
\nPut out by socalled.
\nChristian Books of of of Jesus’s<\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:36,670 –> 00:15:39,710
\nBaptism and Jesus steps into
\nthe. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:39,710 –> 00:15:42,670
\nCrystal clear water.
\nAnd he’s got a Halo around his <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:42,670 –> 00:15:45,270
\nhead and the grass is all green.
\nIt’s. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:45,270 –> 00:15:49,190
\nExactly the opposite to that.
\nJordan was a muddy, stinking <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:49,190 –> 00:15:51,470
\nmess that, as we mentioned in
\nour last session. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:51,850 –> 00:15:54,770
\nZechariah the Prophet.
\nWarned people about Jeremiah the<\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:54,770 –> 00:15:56,450
\nProphet warned people about, he
\nwarned. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:56,450 –> 00:15:59,010
\nPeople about that, Jordan.
\nThere were lions down. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:15:59,010 –> 00:15:59,970
\nThere they were.
\nVipers. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:15:59,970 –> 00:16:03,570
\nDown there, it ever stood as a
\nsymbol for the flesh. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:03,570 –> 00:16:04,530
\nAnd look at that.
\nLook at that. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:04,530 –> 00:16:06,730
\nWater that’s there, we were
\nthere about. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:07,370 –> 00:16:10,330
\nFour or five months ago, another
\nbrother and I and. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:10,490 –> 00:16:13,450
\nThe flies were just.
\nSwarming us, I mean, you’ve <\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:13,450 –> 00:16:15,130
\nnever seen more flies in your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:15,130 –> 00:16:19,130
\nIt’s just, it’s even today it’s
\na nasty place, Prophets warned <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:19,130 –> 00:16:22,390
\npeople who came in contact.
\nWith that water. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:22,710 –> 00:16:27,030
\nAnd any person who can get.
\nThrough that water has to be. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:16:27,390 –> 00:16:31,110
\nYahweh’s salvation so.
\nJoshua Elijah. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:16:31,110 –> 00:16:34,550
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ were
\nall manifested to Israel coming <\/p>\n
306
\n00:16:34,550 –> 00:16:36,230
\nup out of that water.
\nAnd where does it end? <\/p>\n
307
\n00:16:37,710 –> 00:16:41,470
\nIt ends in the Dead Sea, in the
\nstagnation. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:16:41,830 –> 00:16:45,430
\nOf death the lowest.
\nPlace on the Earth. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:46,150 –> 00:16:48,590
\nSo we’ve gone from Mount Herman
\n9000. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:48,590 –> 00:16:50,710
\nFeet above sea level.
\nTo the dead. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:50,710 –> 00:16:54,590
\nSea which is 14192 feet.
\nBelow sea level. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:54,790 –> 00:16:57,350
\nAnd really only the space of
\nabout 100 miles. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:57,950 –> 00:17:01,190
\nIt goes down and down and down
\ninto death. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:01,190 –> 00:17:02,950
\nAnd.
\nFollows that that snake like <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:02,950 –> 00:17:04,630
\ncourse and of course.
\nTo get. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:04,630 –> 00:17:06,829
\nBack to what we said in our last
\nsession, when a snake. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:06,829 –> 00:17:08,589
\nLike river overflows its.
\nBanks. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:08,589 –> 00:17:11,109
\nIt really makes a mess.
\nYou know, 1 river that goes <\/p>\n
319
\n00:17:11,109 –> 00:17:13,750
\nstraight, yeah.
\nBut because. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:17:13,829 –> 00:17:17,069
\nAll the water eventually
\noverlaps and and leaves a mess <\/p>\n
321
\n00:17:17,069 –> 00:17:19,520
\nbehind it.
\nBut about 30. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:17:19,640 –> 00:17:21,319
\nMiles.
\nWell, here’s here’s a. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:17:21,319 –> 00:17:23,000
\nSign that says that.
\nYou’re at the lowest. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:17:23,000 –> 00:17:27,040
\nPlace on the earth that’s in
\nmeters, not feet, so the <\/p>\n
325
\n00:17:27,040 –> 00:17:30,680
\nCanadians in here will will know
\nwhat I’m referring to, Grant <\/p>\n
326
\n00:17:30,680 –> 00:17:34,640
\nPenny’s.
\nListening about. 30 miles north <\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:34,640 –> 00:17:36,880
\nof where John was baptizing,
\nthere was a city. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:43,960
\nCalled Adam Adam.
\nSo this represents the mortality<\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:43,960 –> 00:17:46,560
\nof man Jordan ever stood, didn’t
\nit, For? <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:47,240 –> 00:17:48,840
\nThe.
\nFlesh and And now we begin to <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:48,840 –> 00:17:51,520
\nunderstand why when God wanted
\nto manifest His salvation to <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:51,520 –> 00:17:53,600
\nmen, He.
\nDid so by bringing. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:53,600 –> 00:17:56,480
\nThem out of that.
\nWater the Joshua and Elijah were<\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:56,480 –> 00:17:58,120
\nbut types.
\nThey were but. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:58,120 –> 00:18:01,600
\nRepresentatives But there was a
\nman of our nature who came <\/p>\n
336
\n00:18:01,600 –> 00:18:04,360
\nthrough Adam, the stagnation of
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:18:04,880 –> 00:18:07,800
\nBut he got out of it.
\nAnd of course, the only way that<\/p>\n
338
\n00:18:07,800 –> 00:18:10,000
\nhe got out of it was through the
\npower. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:12,920
\nOf God and anyone who can
\nsuccessfully negotiate. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:18:12,920 –> 00:18:17,800
\nThat river has to be.
\nGod’s son, and John was waiting <\/p>\n
341
\n00:18:17,800 –> 00:18:19,520
\nwith with bated.
\nBreath for this. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:22,240
\nTo happen for the tide of
\nhumanity that that. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:18:22,240 –> 00:18:25,800
\nAll ends up in the Dead Sea.
\nTo one day be. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:18:26,120 –> 00:18:28,960
\nReversed.
\nSo we come now to the third <\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:28,960 –> 00:18:31,240
\nchapter of Matthew and just
\nremember the slides. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:31,240 –> 00:18:34,880
\nThat we just looked at.
\nAnd see Matthew’s description. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:34,920 –> 00:18:38,680
\nOf what the Lord?
\nDid as he came down to identify.<\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:38,680 –> 00:18:40,640
\nWith us?
\nIn that river. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:50,720
\nMatthew chapter 3 verse 13 then
\ncome with Jesus from Galilee to.<\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:50,720 –> 00:18:53,840
\nJordan.
\nUnto John to be. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:53,840 –> 00:18:56,440
\nBaptized.
\nThen come with Jesus from <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:56,440 –> 00:18:58,680
\nGalilee.
\nSo he’s basically. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:58,680 –> 00:19:00,440
\nTraversed the whole course of
\nthat. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:05,640
\nRiver from Galilee to Jordan to
\nJohn to be baptized. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:19:05,640 –> 00:19:08,440
\nHe’s basically walked the whole
\ncourse that we’ve just walked. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:19:09,520 –> 00:19:12,960
\nFrom uprightness into the
\nstagnation. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:19:13,620 –> 00:19:18,860
\nOf death he came from Galilee
\nand descended, which is what the<\/p>\n
358
\n00:19:18,860 –> 00:19:23,700
\nJordan means.
\nThe whole course of that river. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:19:23,980 –> 00:19:26,820
\nAnd of course, we know that was
\nthe place to where naming naming<\/p>\n
360
\n00:19:26,820 –> 00:19:28,100
\nthe Syrian had to get off his
\nhigh. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:19:28,100 –> 00:19:30,460
\nHorse.
\nAnd go down in. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:19:30,540 –> 00:19:33,340
\nTo the water to.
\nAcknowledge who he was, and it <\/p>\n
363
\n00:19:33,340 –> 00:19:34,900
\nwas only when he had done that
\nthat lo and. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:34,900 –> 00:19:39,100
\nBehold his leprosy.
\nWent and of course John was <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:39,100 –> 00:19:40,100
\nembarrassed.
\nWasn’t. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:40,100 –> 00:19:42,800
\nHe.
\nYou know this? <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:44,800
\nTells you that clearly John knew
\nwho he was. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:45,040 –> 00:19:47,160
\nBut first 14 John says no, no
\nno. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:47,160 –> 00:19:48,800
\nNo, I have.
\nNeed to be. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:48,800 –> 00:19:52,400
\nBaptized of thee.
\nAnd whence comest thou to me? <\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:55,360
\nSo John knew who Jesus?
\nWas. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:56,400 –> 00:19:59,760
\nWhat he didn’t know.
\nIs that he was to be the <\/p>\n
373
\n00:19:59,760 –> 00:20:01,520
\nMessiah.
\nBut he clearly knew him as a <\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:01,520 –> 00:20:05,120
\nperson and he knew that the
\nremarkable life. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:20:05,320 –> 00:20:08,840
\nThat that the Lord lived.
\nHe knew the character and and <\/p>\n
376
\n00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:10,240
\nlooking into.
\nThose eyes. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:20:10,780 –> 00:20:12,980
\nI mean, John was absolutely
\nembarrassed. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:20:13,580 –> 00:20:16,020
\nPut yourself for a. 2nd in
\nJohn’s shoes, Wouldn’t you be <\/p>\n
379
\n00:20:16,020 –> 00:20:18,300
\nembarrassed?
\nIf you had to put the Lord <\/p>\n
380
\n00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:20,460
\nJesus.
\nChrist under the water, knowing <\/p>\n
381
\n00:20:20,460 –> 00:20:22,300
\nthe life he lives, and knowing
\nthe life you live. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:20:23,780 –> 00:20:26,260
\nAnd So what is John going to do?
\nYour Lord? <\/p>\n
383
\n00:20:26,260 –> 00:20:28,100
\nI have need to be.
\nBaptized of thee. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:28,780 –> 00:20:33,780
\nAnd whence comest thou to me?
\nAnd furthermore, what was the <\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:33,780 –> 00:20:36,580
\nreason that Luke?
\nSpecified that John was <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:36,580 –> 00:20:39,860
\nbaptizing for he was baptizing
\nfor the baptism. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:39,940 –> 00:20:43,760
\nOf.
\nRepentance for the remission of.<\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:43,760 –> 00:20:49,200
\nSins Jesus has absolutely.
\nNothing at all to repent of and <\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:49,200 –> 00:20:51,680
\nand that would have added to the
\nto the extreme embarrassment. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:51,680 –> 00:20:55,680
\nYou know he’s he’s been putting
\ncommon people and Roman soldiers<\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:55,680 –> 00:20:58,560
\nand and tax collectors in there.
\nI mean it’s one thing to put <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:58,560 –> 00:21:00,880
\nthose guys in.
\nBut this is a. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:21:00,880 –> 00:21:02,920
\nPerfect man.
\nHe has, absolutely. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:21:02,920 –> 00:21:04,960
\nNo place in that water from that
\nstandpoint. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:21:05,440 –> 00:21:08,390
\nIf that’s all it was.
\nBut of course, we. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:21:08,390 –> 00:21:11,670
\nKnow that That’s.
\nThat’s not all it was John. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:21:11,670 –> 00:21:14,750
\nHe says 1st 15 there.
\nThere’s a 2 keywords in this <\/p>\n
398
\n00:21:14,750 –> 00:21:16,990
\nverse.
\nSuffer it to be. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:21:16,990 –> 00:21:25,030
\nSo now, now, when is now when
\nJesus Christ was a man being <\/p>\n
400
\n00:21:25,030 –> 00:21:28,710
\nfound in fashion as a man?
\nHe’s one of us. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:21:28,910 –> 00:21:31,470
\nSaid the Apostle Paul.
\nSuffer it to be so. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:21:31,950 –> 00:21:34,710
\nNow for.
\nThus it become with us to <\/p>\n
403
\n00:21:34,710 –> 00:21:38,230
\nfulfill all.
\nRighteousness now. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:21:38,470 –> 00:21:40,550
\nWhy?
\nHow is the righteousness of God <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:40,550 –> 00:21:44,630
\nfulfilled?
\nBy asking a perfect man. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:44,950 –> 00:21:49,230
\nTo be baptized well.
\nJohn wasn’t only baptizing, was <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:49,230 –> 00:21:52,150
\nhe, brothers and sisters for the
\nbaptism of repentance? <\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:53,270 –> 00:21:56,030
\nWhat did John say he was?
\nThey said John, who are you? <\/p>\n
409
\n00:21:56,350 –> 00:21:58,550
\nHe said I’m the.
\nVoice and he connected. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:21:58,550 –> 00:22:00,390
\nThat voice with the voice in
\nIsaiah 40. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:22:01,750 –> 00:22:03,510
\nNow what did the voice in Isaiah
\n40? <\/p>\n
412
\n00:22:03,510 –> 00:22:06,170
\nSay.
\nJust keep your hand here and <\/p>\n
413
\n00:22:06,170 –> 00:22:07,770
\ncome back to.
\nIsaiah Chapter 40, where. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:22:07,930 –> 00:22:09,890
\nWe’ve been in every.
\nClass so far. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:22:10,770 –> 00:22:13,090
\nHere is the.
\nKey to John’s. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:22:13,090 –> 00:22:15,970
\nLife all back here.
\nWe’ve looked at verse 9. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:22:16,930 –> 00:22:20,810
\nWe’ve looked at verse. 3.
\nIn our last session we we looked<\/p>\n
418
\n00:22:20,810 –> 00:22:25,650
\nat at 4:00 and 5:00.
\nBut what was the voice? <\/p>\n
419
\n00:22:25,690 –> 00:22:30,210
\nTo cry.
\nThe voice is John. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:22:30,330 –> 00:22:32,410
\nWe know that from John chapter
\none. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:22:32,770 –> 00:22:34,410
\nThe voice said.
\nWhat shall I cry? <\/p>\n
422
\n00:22:35,760 –> 00:22:37,680
\nAnd Isaiah said tell him this
\nverse 6. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:37,880 –> 00:22:45,760
\nAll flesh is grass.
\nAll flesh including. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:46,840 –> 00:22:51,240
\nThe Lords.
\nIncluding him all flesh. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:51,240 –> 00:22:53,720
\nIs grass.
\nAnd to go under that water was <\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:53,720 –> 00:22:58,080
\nan acknowledgement that all.
\nFlesh was grass. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:58,760 –> 00:23:01,240
\nSo had Jesus not submitted?
\nTo that baptism, brothers and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:23:01,240 –> 00:23:03,630
\nsisters.
\nHe would have been confessing to<\/p>\n
429
\n00:23:03,630 –> 00:23:05,310
\nbe a creature from another
\nplanet. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:23:06,950 –> 00:23:10,950
\nAll flesh is grass.
\nThus it becometh and. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:23:11,190 –> 00:23:12,790
\nHere’s the other.
\nKeyword in Matthew chapter. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:23:12,790 –> 00:23:19,270
\nThree us all flesh is grass.
\nYou’re. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:23:19,270 –> 00:23:22,670
\nFlesh, John.
\nAnd I’m flesh. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:23:23,350 –> 00:23:26,750
\nAll flesh is.
\nGrass and he makes. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:23:27,230 –> 00:23:31,280
\nThe identification.
\nThe declaration on that day as <\/p>\n
436
\n00:23:31,280 –> 00:23:34,280
\nthe Lord was to go under the.
\nWater was that his father was <\/p>\n
437
\n00:23:34,280 –> 00:23:35,920
\nright.
\nWhich? <\/p>\n
438
\n00:23:35,920 –> 00:23:38,120
\nWas seen even more powerfully as
\nwe know in the cross. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:23:38,120 –> 00:23:39,520
\nI mean, why?
\nDid the Lord have to go to the <\/p>\n
440
\n00:23:39,520 –> 00:23:41,000
\ncross?
\nTo declare that his. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:44,360
\nFather is absolutely right.
\nIn declaring the. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:48,000
\nThe death.
\nOf of human nature because there<\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:48,000 –> 00:23:50,960
\nis no value in this.
\nFlesh that we possess. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:51,160 –> 00:23:52,600
\nIn my flesh.
\nSaid the apostle. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:52,600 –> 00:23:54,600
\nPaul Dwells.
\nNo good thing. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:55,200 –> 00:23:57,000
\nThere’s nothing in this.
\nBody that’s worthy of <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:23:59,790
\nperpetuation.
\nAnd furthermore, as we know from<\/p>\n
448
\n00:24:00,070 –> 00:24:03,830
\nbitter experience, you can’t
\ntame it, you can’t train it, you<\/p>\n
449
\n00:24:03,830 –> 00:24:05,110
\ncan’t do anything with this
\nnature. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:24:05,110 –> 00:24:06,470
\nAll you can do is put it to
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:24:06,910 –> 00:24:08,270
\nIt cannot be disciplined.
\nIt. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:24:08,710 –> 00:24:11,870
\nTakes something else.
\nSo the Lord was. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:24:11,870 –> 00:24:14,150
\nDeclaring that my.
\nFather was. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:24:14,150 –> 00:24:15,590
\nRight and this is.
\nWhat we all should. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:24:15,590 –> 00:24:18,150
\nBe doing with our flesh, putting
\nit to death. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:24:18,910 –> 00:24:21,590
\nSo when the Lord.
\nStepped into the water on that <\/p>\n
457
\n00:24:21,590 –> 00:24:23,950
\nday, there were really two
\nthings that were being declared.<\/p>\n
458
\n00:24:25,190 –> 00:24:27,870
\nHe acknowledged that he.
\nWas flesh. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:24:28,420 –> 00:24:30,700
\nAnd that as a member of the
\nhuman race. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:24:30,820 –> 00:24:34,740
\nHe himself could do.
\nAbsolutely nothing and but. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:24:34,740 –> 00:24:37,940
\nWhat he was also.
\nDeclaring is he was making it <\/p>\n
462
\n00:24:37,940 –> 00:24:40,540
\nclear.
\nWho the real source? <\/p>\n
463
\n00:24:40,580 –> 00:24:43,020
\nOf his strength.
\nWas and that was. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:24:43,020 –> 00:24:44,220
\nIn God.
\nAnd for those. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:24:44,220 –> 00:24:49,740
\nTwo reasons John suffered.
\nJesus, Just look at Isaiah <\/p>\n
466
\n00:24:49,740 –> 00:24:51,940
\nchapter 42 whilst we’re still in
\nIsaiah. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:24:53,500 –> 00:24:57,210
\nIsaiah 42.
\nHere’s a picture in this verse <\/p>\n
468
\n00:24:57,210 –> 00:25:00,850
\nof the the greatness.
\nOf our of our God as He He takes<\/p>\n
469
\n00:25:00,850 –> 00:25:04,930
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nBy the hand verse five of <\/p>\n
470
\n00:25:04,930 –> 00:25:07,490
\nIsaiah. 42 Thus saith ale
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:25:07,730 –> 00:25:10,410
\nHe that created the heavens and
\nstretched them out. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:25:10,970 –> 00:25:12,370
\nHe that spread forth the.
\nEarth. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:25:12,370 –> 00:25:15,810
\nAnd that much comes out of it.
\nHe that giveth breadth unto the <\/p>\n
474
\n00:25:15,810 –> 00:25:17,530
\npeople.
\nUpon it the Spirit to them that <\/p>\n
475
\n00:25:17,530 –> 00:25:19,610
\nwalk there in.
\nI Yahweh have. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:25:19,610 –> 00:25:23,490
\nCalled thee in righteousness,
\nand will hold thine hand and <\/p>\n
477
\n00:25:23,490 –> 00:25:26,480
\nwill keep thee.
\nAnd give thee for a covenant of <\/p>\n
478
\n00:25:26,480 –> 00:25:28,120
\nthe people.
\nFor a light. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:25:28,320 –> 00:25:31,240
\nTo the Gentiles, so that he’s
\nsaying here to his son as he <\/p>\n
480
\n00:25:31,240 –> 00:25:32,800
\ntakes the hand of his son.
\nI want to. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:25:33,400 –> 00:25:34,920
\nI want to.
\nGive you for a. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:25:34,920 –> 00:25:37,600
\nCovenant he says here.
\nTo the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:25:38,080 –> 00:25:39,360
\nBut in order.
\nTo do that, he says. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:25:39,440 –> 00:25:40,680
\nI’ve got to.
\nHold your hand. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:25:41,240 –> 00:25:43,480
\nI’ve got to walk with you.
\nI’ve got to take you there. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:25:44,000 –> 00:25:47,400
\nAnd the Lord walked hand in hand
\nwith his father ultimately to <\/p>\n
487
\n00:25:47,400 –> 00:25:49,200
\nthe.
\nCross I’ve got to. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:25:49,200 –> 00:25:51,200
\nHold your hand.
\nAnd the Lord on that day is he <\/p>\n
489
\n00:25:51,240 –> 00:25:52,840
\nwent under the water and came
\nup. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:25:53,460 –> 00:25:55,260
\nHe would have felt the warmth
\nand the strength. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:25:55,260 –> 00:25:58,700
\nOf his father’s arm.
\nHolding him there, keeping him, <\/p>\n
492
\n00:25:59,100 –> 00:26:02,180
\nand giving him for.
\nA covenant of the people. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:26:03,820 –> 00:26:08,300
\nSo when God said this is my
\nbeloved Son, it wasn’t so much a<\/p>\n
494
\n00:26:08,300 –> 00:26:14,900
\nstatement of of endearment as it
\nwas God saying this is my son. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:26:15,220 –> 00:26:17,180
\nThat’s how he got out of that
\nriver. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:26:18,220 –> 00:26:20,980
\nHad he not been my son, he would
\nstill be in the stagnation of <\/p>\n
497
\n00:26:20,980 –> 00:26:23,690
\nhumanity.
\nInto the Dead Sea. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:26:23,970 –> 00:26:27,330
\nBut he got out of that river
\nbecause he was my son, and God <\/p>\n
499
\n00:26:27,330 –> 00:26:30,010
\nheld.
\nHis hand like Abraham and Isaac.<\/p>\n
500
\n00:26:30,450 –> 00:26:32,810
\nAnd they went.
\nForward to the cross. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:26:33,490 –> 00:26:36,410
\nAnd so John suffered him, and
\nJesus went. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:26:36,610 –> 00:26:38,970
\nUnder the water.
\nBut Luke tells us that as. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:26:38,970 –> 00:26:40,810
\nThe Lord went under the water
\nand came up. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:26:40,810 –> 00:26:42,650
\nHe was doing something and
\nMatthew. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:26:42,650 –> 00:26:45,410
\nDoesn’t tell us this, but look
\nat what Luke says Jesus was <\/p>\n
506
\n00:26:45,410 –> 00:26:49,090
\ndoing.
\nThis is a touch that that Luke. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:26:49,090 –> 00:26:51,810
\nAdds in his gospel that.
\nThe other writers don’t. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:26:53,870 –> 00:26:55,830
\nWhen the Transfiguration took
\nplace. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:26:56,870 –> 00:26:59,750
\nThe other gospel say.
\nThat Jesus was transfigured. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:27:00,230 –> 00:27:05,390
\nBut Luke says he was praying the
\nother Gospel. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:27:05,390 –> 00:27:06,870
\nSaid that Jesus went up under
\nthe water. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:27:06,870 –> 00:27:08,750
\nBut you know what Luke says he
\nwas doing is he came up from. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:27:08,750 –> 00:27:13,870
\nThe water verse. 21 of Luke 3
\nNow when all the people were <\/p>\n
514
\n00:27:13,870 –> 00:27:15,630
\nbaptized, it came to pass.
\nThat. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:27:16,110 –> 00:27:21,470
\nJesus also being baptized, he’s
\none of the human race and. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:27:22,110 –> 00:27:25,550
\nPraying the heaven was open so
\nas the. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:27:25,550 –> 00:27:29,150
\nLord came up from the water.
\nLuke says he was. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:27:29,270 –> 00:27:33,190
\nPraying now why?
\nShould Luke record that? <\/p>\n
519
\n00:27:34,710 –> 00:27:35,550
\nAnd what?
\nWhat? <\/p>\n
520
\n00:27:35,550 –> 00:27:40,510
\nDid the the Lord pray for?
\nWell, here in Luke’s Gospel we <\/p>\n
521
\n00:27:40,830 –> 00:27:42,310
\nfor the rest of the chapter we
\nhave. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:27:42,310 –> 00:27:45,310
\nThis genealogy that just seems
\nto be. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:27:45,910 –> 00:27:49,440
\nStuck here.
\nOut of Nomer going, going all <\/p>\n
524
\n00:27:49,440 –> 00:27:51,360
\nthe way back to Adam and you
\nthink well. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:27:51,360 –> 00:27:52,480
\nWhat’s?
\nWhat’s that here? <\/p>\n
526
\n00:27:52,480 –> 00:27:56,360
\nFor in a chronologically.
\nOrdered gospel like. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:27:56,360 –> 00:27:59,800
\nLuke, I think that’s giving you
\na clue as to what the Lord was <\/p>\n
528
\n00:27:59,800 –> 00:28:02,560
\npraying for.
\nSee suffered to be. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:28:02,640 –> 00:28:06,160
\nSo now he said to John that we
\nmight fulfill all righteousness.<\/p>\n
530
\n00:28:06,760 –> 00:28:08,880
\nAll Flesh’s.
\nGrass was was the message of <\/p>\n
531
\n00:28:08,880 –> 00:28:11,400
\nJohn the Baptist that the
\nmessage of Isaiah 40 as the <\/p>\n
532
\n00:28:11,400 –> 00:28:12,080
\nLord.
\nWent under the. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:28:12,080 –> 00:28:16,640
\nWater he He acknowledged that he
\nwas one of us and. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:28:17,430 –> 00:28:18,750
\nCognizant, of course, that he
\nwants to. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:28:18,750 –> 00:28:20,310
\nDeclare the righteousness of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:28:20,630 –> 00:28:24,270
\nHe came up out of that water and
\nand then comes all the genealogy<\/p>\n
537
\n00:28:24,270 –> 00:28:25,590
\nof.
\nAll the way back to. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:28:25,590 –> 00:28:28,070
\nAdam and I think it’s telling us
\nthat. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:28:28,070 –> 00:28:30,390
\nConscious in the Lord’s.
\nMind as he came up out of that <\/p>\n
540
\n00:28:30,390 –> 00:28:34,270
\nwater on that day was the
\ntremendous burden that he had <\/p>\n
541
\n00:28:34,310 –> 00:28:37,110
\nto.
\nTo share that for four. 1000 <\/p>\n
542
\n00:28:37,110 –> 00:28:40,590
\nyears back to Adam and and we
\ncan even say for another. 2000 <\/p>\n
543
\n00:28:40,590 –> 00:28:45,470
\nyears back to us the weight of
\nhaving to save all this lineage.<\/p>\n
544
\n00:28:45,910 –> 00:28:48,570
\nWas on his mind.
\nAnd he. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:28:48,570 –> 00:28:50,970
\nPrayed that the.
\nFather would give him the <\/p>\n
546
\n00:28:50,970 –> 00:28:53,490
\nstrength to to.
\nSave all of that. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:28:53,490 –> 00:28:56,170
\nLineage to save all of of
\nmankind. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:28:56,170 –> 00:28:59,010
\nI mean the salvation of great
\nmen like Abraham and David <\/p>\n
549
\n00:28:59,010 –> 00:29:02,250
\ndepended on this one.
\nAs we prayed that. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:29:02,450 –> 00:29:04,010
\nThe Father might give him the
\nstrength. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:29:04,010 –> 00:29:06,810
\nTo save all that.
\nLineage when the. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:29:06,810 –> 00:29:08,490
\nFather saw that.
\nAction, he said. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:29:08,490 –> 00:29:11,890
\nThis is my beloved son in whom I
\nam well pleased. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:29:11,890 –> 00:29:13,370
\nThere was an immediate
\nacknowledgement. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:29:13,370 –> 00:29:16,250
\nBy God of his faith, thou art my
\nson. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:29:16,980 –> 00:29:18,580
\nAnd I’m exceedingly well
\npleased. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:29:18,820 –> 00:29:24,740
\nWith that, he prayed.
\nJust a touch that that, Luke <\/p>\n
558
\n00:29:24,740 –> 00:29:26,180
\nadds.
\nAs he came up. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:29:26,700 –> 00:29:31,220
\nOut of that water.
\nWell, verse 22 says and the Holy<\/p>\n
560
\n00:29:31,220 –> 00:29:34,780
\nSpirit descended.
\nIn a bodily shape like a dove. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:29:35,300 –> 00:29:39,020
\nUpon him you know John, which I
\nwon’t take you to, John says. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:29:39,020 –> 00:29:42,700
\nThat that spirit settled.
\nUpon him like a dove and. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:29:43,020 –> 00:29:44,860
\nIt.
\nRemained. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:29:45,400 –> 00:29:47,040
\nOn him.
\nSo it wasn’t that the dove came <\/p>\n
565
\n00:29:47,040 –> 00:29:49,600
\nthere as he came up out of the
\nwater, and then the dove. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:53,640
\nLeft the spirit.
\nLeft, right afterwards, John <\/p>\n
567
\n00:29:53,640 –> 00:29:54,760
\nsays that, that.
\nSpirit. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:29:55,480 –> 00:30:00,560
\nCame on him that instant, and it
\nstayed on him from that point <\/p>\n
569
\n00:30:00,600 –> 00:30:03,040
\nonward.
\nThe Spirit was there. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:30:03,040 –> 00:30:05,600
\nHe was.
\nGod manifest in the flesh. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:30:05,600 –> 00:30:08,040
\nHe was Emanuel.
\nSo. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:30:08,040 –> 00:30:12,950
\nSo why a dove?
\nWhatever. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:30:12,950 –> 00:30:14,190
\nA dove.
\nRepresents you know you. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:30:14,190 –> 00:30:17,750
\nReally have to relate.
\nIt to to what’s happening here, <\/p>\n
575
\n00:30:18,790 –> 00:30:20,750
\nyou have all the characteristics
\nthat we know about a dove. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:30:20,750 –> 00:30:23,950
\nIt’s it’s harmless.
\nIt’s a symbol of peace. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:30:24,550 –> 00:30:26,790
\nWe know two things and and I
\nthink they fit this. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:30:26,790 –> 00:30:28,830
\nCase like like a.
\nHand fits a. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:30:28,830 –> 00:30:31,510
\nGlove.
\nThe two features that I think <\/p>\n
580
\n00:30:31,510 –> 00:30:33,990
\nare important is that the Dove
\nis a very. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:30:33,990 –> 00:30:36,790
\nClean little bird a dove will
\nnot. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:30:36,790 –> 00:30:38,790
\nPut its feet.
\nIn mud? <\/p>\n
583
\n00:30:40,690 –> 00:30:42,210
\nIt’s a very, very clean little
\nburden. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:30:42,210 –> 00:30:45,530
\nSo Song of Solomon says, My
\ndove, my undefiled. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:30:46,730 –> 00:30:49,210
\nYou think about the example.
\nOf the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:30:49,450 –> 00:30:52,130
\nHe was clean.
\nHe was. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:30:53,170 –> 00:30:56,290
\nNot one that put its foot in in
\nmud. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:30:57,530 –> 00:30:59,290
\nThe second quality.
\nThat we learn about. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:30:59,290 –> 00:31:01,730
\nIs that the Dove really it?
\nIt belongs to the. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:31:01,730 –> 00:31:04,050
\nPigeon family.
\nSo it has homing instincts. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:31:04,050 –> 00:31:08,130
\nThe dove will always come home
\nto where it belongs. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:31:08,660 –> 00:31:10,740
\nSo, so you think about this, he
\nhe’s clean. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:31:10,740 –> 00:31:11,940
\nHe’s.
\nSpotless. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:31:12,540 –> 00:31:16,260
\nAnd the spirit then comes home
\nwhere it belongs. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:31:16,420 –> 00:31:17,860
\nIt rested upon.
\nHim. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:31:19,220 –> 00:31:22,540
\nHe was clean.
\nThe Spirit of his Father, which <\/p>\n
597
\n00:31:22,540 –> 00:31:26,780
\nhad made that life holy.
\nHad made it clean the origin of <\/p>\n
598
\n00:31:26,780 –> 00:31:30,780
\nhis morality.
\nBeing in heaven, that spirit <\/p>\n
599
\n00:31:30,820 –> 00:31:33,340
\nhomed in where it belonged.
\nWhat else could it do? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:31:34,180 –> 00:31:40,180
\nAnd it remained with him.
\nYou know the dove is is <\/p>\n
601
\n00:31:40,180 –> 00:31:42,820
\nmentioned one other place, one
\nfamous place in scripture. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:31:42,820 –> 00:31:46,060
\nIf you come back to Genesis
\nChapter 7, we’ll just note. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:31:46,260 –> 00:31:49,180
\nA parallel here with.
\nThe first time we read about it <\/p>\n
604
\n00:31:49,180 –> 00:31:51,900
\nin the Bible, Genesis Chapter 7,
\nwhere. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:31:52,140 –> 00:31:57,060
\nThere was a baptism, you know
\nthe flood, says Peter. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:31:57,060 –> 00:31:59,780
\nAnd his epistle was.
\nA baptism. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:32:02,540 –> 00:32:06,340
\nThe Ark was was born aloft.
\nAs the the flesh was washed <\/p>\n
608
\n00:32:06,340 –> 00:32:10,150
\naway.
\nSo as Genesis Chapter 7 verse 22<\/p>\n
609
\n00:32:10,150 –> 00:32:12,150
\nnote note these words and their
\nsimilarity. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:32:12,150 –> 00:32:16,470
\nTo Isaiah 40.
\nAll in his nostrils. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:32:16,470 –> 00:32:19,710
\nWas the breath of life of all
\nthat. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:32:19,710 –> 00:32:28,590
\nWas in was on dried land.
\nDied so all died all flesh <\/p>\n
613
\n00:32:28,750 –> 00:32:32,710
\nverse. 21 died that moved upon
\nthe earth well. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:32:32,830 –> 00:32:35,550
\nWe’ve just read that all flesh
\nis grass, so you’ve got all <\/p>\n
615
\n00:32:35,550 –> 00:32:38,300
\nflesh died.
\nAll flesh is. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:32:38,300 –> 00:32:41,660
\nGrass.
\nNow what does Noah then send out<\/p>\n
617
\n00:32:41,660 –> 00:32:44,380
\nof the ark?
\nWe sends a dove. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:32:44,740 –> 00:32:48,180
\nChapter 8 and verse eight he
\nsent forth a dove from him to. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:32:48,180 –> 00:32:50,020
\nSee if the waters.
\nWere abandoned from off the face<\/p>\n
620
\n00:32:50,020 –> 00:32:51,700
\nof the ground.
\nBut the dove? <\/p>\n
621
\n00:32:52,020 –> 00:32:54,260
\nBeing the creature that it is,
\nit found no rest. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:32:54,260 –> 00:32:56,980
\nFor the soul of its foot.
\nAnd it Where did it go? <\/p>\n
623
\n00:32:56,980 –> 00:33:02,140
\nIt came back where it belonged.
\nIt homed in back into the ark, <\/p>\n
624
\n00:33:02,860 –> 00:33:07,200
\nand Noah pulls the dove in.
\nAnd it came home where it <\/p>\n
625
\n00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:07,800
\nbelongs.
\nSo you’ve. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:11,880
\nGot that parallel.
\nAll flesh died and the dove. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:33:11,880 –> 00:33:15,000
\nComes.
\nSo the Lord comes to the River <\/p>\n
628
\n00:33:15,000 –> 00:33:17,080
\nJordan.
\nHe proclaims that all flesh is <\/p>\n
629
\n00:33:17,080 –> 00:33:21,320
\ngrass, and the dove comes it
\nhomed in where it belonged on <\/p>\n
630
\n00:33:21,320 –> 00:33:24,480
\nthat very clean and undefiled
\nman. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:33:26,000 –> 00:33:30,720
\nSo in Luke Chapter 3, let’s just
\nfinish this up, as we’ve really <\/p>\n
632
\n00:33:30,720 –> 00:33:32,240
\nleft John temporarily, haven’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n
633
\n00:33:32,240 –> 00:33:35,280
\nWe’ve begun making a study.
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ but. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:33:35,750 –> 00:33:37,750
\nIt was necessary, of course,
\nthat as John. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:33:37,750 –> 00:33:41,030
\nStood there and witnessed.
\nThat event that he just stand <\/p>\n
636
\n00:33:41,030 –> 00:33:43,390
\nthere as an awe stricken
\nspectator? <\/p>\n
637
\n00:33:44,870 –> 00:33:46,510
\nWell Jesus.
\nHeard a voice. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:33:46,750 –> 00:33:53,270
\nIn Luke chapter 3, a voice that
\ncame from heaven saying this is <\/p>\n
639
\n00:33:53,270 –> 00:33:57,270
\nmy beloved son Luke 3, verse 22
\nin whom I am. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:33:57,270 –> 00:34:00,190
\nWell, pleased now.
\nRotherham says in his <\/p>\n
641
\n00:34:00,190 –> 00:34:04,950
\ntranslation.
\nThis is my son, the beloved. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:34:05,870 –> 00:34:10,949
\nThis is my son.
\nThe beloved It’s the. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:34:10,949 –> 00:34:16,469
\nSame word that’s used in the
\nSeptuagint version of Isaac and <\/p>\n
644
\n00:34:17,310 –> 00:34:18,630
\nAbraham.
\nNow I think we all know the <\/p>\n
645
\n00:34:18,630 –> 00:34:20,949
\nconnection, don’t we, between
\nthe offering of the. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:34:20,949 –> 00:34:23,790
\nLord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd the offering? <\/p>\n
647
\n00:34:23,830 –> 00:34:27,070
\nOf Isaac as a as a.
\nFather and a son cooperated, <\/p>\n
648
\n00:34:27,070 –> 00:34:28,909
\ndidn’t they, to?
\nTo go to. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:34:29,150 –> 00:34:31,710
\nMount Moriah.
\nBut why is is that language so <\/p>\n
650
\n00:34:31,870 –> 00:34:33,949
\nso reminiscent of what we find
\nhere in verse? <\/p>\n
651
\n00:34:34,440 –> 00:34:39,480
\n22 Because Abraham as he as he,
\nraised the knife, as he was <\/p>\n
652
\n00:34:39,480 –> 00:34:41,400
\nabout to come down upon his son,
\nit says. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:34:41,400 –> 00:34:43,480
\nThere fell a voice.
\nFrom heaven? <\/p>\n
654
\n00:34:45,840 –> 00:34:51,199
\nWell, here we have their fellow
\nvoice from heaven. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:34:51,199 –> 00:34:54,440
\nAll the gospel say.
\nThere came a voice from heaven, <\/p>\n
656
\n00:34:54,920 –> 00:34:56,719
\nthat voice.
\nHad gone way back, hadn’t. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:34:56,760 –> 00:34:59,240
\nIt to Genesis chapter 22 it was.
\nThe voice of. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:34:59,240 –> 00:35:00,800
\nGod to Abraham that.
\nSaved his. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:35:00,800 –> 00:35:04,050
\nSon from death but.
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ, as we <\/p>\n
660
\n00:35:04,050 –> 00:35:06,410
\nknow here, would would not.
\nGet that privilege. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:35:06,730 –> 00:35:08,330
\nAnd so Abraham had to look
\nbehind him. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:35:08,330 –> 00:35:09,530
\nHe looked.
\nBehind him and he saw. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:35:09,530 –> 00:35:13,170
\nThat the ram that was caught in
\nthe thicket here was God’s son, <\/p>\n
664
\n00:35:13,410 –> 00:35:17,850
\nentangled in our problems.
\nThere wasn’t any way out for <\/p>\n
665
\n00:35:17,850 –> 00:35:19,570
\nhim.
\nHe came. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:35:19,570 –> 00:35:22,130
\nTo identify with our.
\nWeakness, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
667
\n00:35:22,930 –> 00:35:25,890
\nthat in doing that we might
\nidentify. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:35:26,290 –> 00:35:29,650
\nWith his strength.
\nAnd there was the RAM with its. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:35:30,090 –> 00:35:32,570
\nIt’s it’s horn.
\nIt’s power caught in that <\/p>\n
670
\n00:35:32,570 –> 00:35:34,650
\nthicket.
\nThe thorny branches are our <\/p>\n
671
\n00:35:34,650 –> 00:35:38,010
\nsins, our problems our.
\nDifficulties the Lord came and <\/p>\n
672
\n00:35:38,010 –> 00:35:41,570
\nidentified himself with all of
\nthat He to get us up out of the <\/p>\n
673
\n00:35:41,570 –> 00:35:44,370
\nRiver Jordan.
\nAnd to stand us in newness of <\/p>\n
674
\n00:35:44,370 –> 00:35:52,490
\nlife in the Promised Land, Well,
\nJohn stood there as just an awe <\/p>\n
675
\n00:35:52,570 –> 00:35:58,170
\nstricken spectator.
\nHis course has now come to an <\/p>\n
676
\n00:35:58,170 –> 00:36:02,100
\nend.
\nBecause really, from that moment<\/p>\n
677
\n00:36:02,100 –> 00:36:03,500
\nonwards.
\nIt’s it’s vital. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:36:03,500 –> 00:36:09,700
\nIsn’t it that he?
\nMust decrease last we. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:36:09,700 –> 00:36:12,420
\nMove on in our studies.
\nBrothers and sisters, we’ll see.<\/p>\n
680
\n00:36:12,420 –> 00:36:16,620
\nJust how taken John was with
\nthat scene, that scene. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:36:16,620 –> 00:36:20,580
\nThere at the River Jordan.
\nHow he drew constant attention <\/p>\n
682
\n00:36:20,580 –> 00:36:22,220
\nto.
\nThe Lamb of God, Which? <\/p>\n
683
\n00:36:22,500 –> 00:36:24,620
\nTaketh away the sin.
\nOf the world. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:36:25,450 –> 00:36:27,170
\nYou.
\nFrom this point, Jesus was <\/p>\n
685
\n00:36:27,330 –> 00:36:29,130
\ndriven into the wilderness.
\nHe was tempted. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:36:29,130 –> 00:36:30,450
\nTo the Diablos 40.
\nDays. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:36:30,450 –> 00:36:34,250
\nAnd then he came back and saw
\nJohn and. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:36:35,210 –> 00:36:40,570
\nJohn sees Jesus.
\nComing and John’s got 2. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:36:40,570 –> 00:36:43,290
\nDisciples with him.
\nJohn and Andrew. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:36:43,970 –> 00:36:49,370
\nAnd John said there he is.
\nThere’s the one, the Lamb of <\/p>\n
691
\n00:36:49,370 –> 00:36:50,490
\nGod.
\nThat takes away. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:36:51,170 –> 00:36:53,930
\nThe sin of the world.
\nAnd his disciples were. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:36:53,930 –> 00:36:55,940
\nClinging to him, you know.
\nThat tells you how. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:36:55,940 –> 00:36:59,380
\nGreat John was that even after
\nthis this event here in Luke <\/p>\n
695
\n00:36:59,380 –> 00:37:04,540
\nchapter three with Jesus, John’s
\ncourses is finished effectively <\/p>\n
696
\n00:37:06,380 –> 00:37:08,060
\nand he says.
\nTo the disciples, that’s who you<\/p>\n
697
\n00:37:08,060 –> 00:37:09,460
\nhave to follow, and they won’t.
\nLeave him. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:37:10,180 –> 00:37:13,660
\nThey won’t leave him.
\nThey’re clinging to it and he <\/p>\n
699
\n00:37:13,660 –> 00:37:16,180
\nsays no.
\nMy work is done. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:37:17,380 –> 00:37:19,980
\nListen to me.
\nThere’s the lamb. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:37:20,820 –> 00:37:23,300
\nIt says that as Jesus walked
\npast. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:37:24,360 –> 00:37:29,520
\nJohn stood so as Jesus keeps
\nwalking John. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:37:29,520 –> 00:37:33,880
\nStops.
\nHe stops walking as if to say. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:37:35,240 –> 00:37:38,320
\nMy work is over.
\nThey’d heard the voice. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:37:39,520 –> 00:37:41,360
\nAnd they were now.
\nReady to follow? <\/p>\n
706
\n00:37:41,360 –> 00:37:45,000
\nHim.
\nAs Jesus walked past, they left.<\/p>\n
707
\n00:37:45,000 –> 00:37:47,760
\nJohn and they followed.
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:37:48,480 –> 00:37:50,800
\nSo it is our great and earnest
