Amazing Facts | Doug Batchelor - The Fullness of Time (Part 1) | December 1, 2024
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:01.317 --> 00:00:09.826
  • Doug batchelor: one of the most important topics in scripture is
  • 00:00:09.826 --> 00:00:12.896
  • The subject of "family."
  • 00:00:12.896 --> 00:00:14.831
  • From genesis to revelation, family is explained and
  • 00:00:14.831 --> 00:00:18.435
  • Magnified as being both a blessing and a necessity.
  • 00:00:18.435 --> 00:00:22.172
  • There is a heavenly family above, the father, the son, holy
  • 00:00:22.172 --> 00:00:25.909
  • Spirit and all the angels,
  • 00:00:25.909 --> 00:00:27.744
  • And there are families on the earth in every nation, tongue,
  • 00:00:27.744 --> 00:00:30.980
  • Tribe, and people.
  • 00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:32.348
  • And there's also such a thing as a church family, a collection of
  • 00:00:32.348 --> 00:00:36.086
  • People coming together for one specific purpose:
  • 00:00:36.086 --> 00:00:39.222
  • To worship god.
  • 00:00:39.222 --> 00:00:40.890
  • It's that unity in the assembly, which is of particular
  • 00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:43.960
  • Importance to god.
  • 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.462
  • In ephesians chapter 4, paul urges us "to keep the unity of
  • 00:00:45.462 --> 00:00:49.799
  • The spirit in the bond of peace."
  • 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.302
  • If you think about it, this is what composes a home, people
  • 00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:56.306
  • Uniting to form a family, creating a home.
  • 00:00:56.306 --> 00:00:59.476
  • Friends, jesus is wanting to adopt you.
  • 00:00:59.476 --> 00:01:02.712
  • He's inviting you to join his family.
  • 00:01:02.712 --> 00:01:05.548
  • He draws everyone unto him to calvary with the intention to
  • 00:01:05.548 --> 00:01:09.519
  • Unite his people on earth and prepare them for that journey to
  • 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.789
  • The heavenly home.
  • 00:01:12.789 --> 00:01:14.257
  • It's my hope that today's program will bring you closer to
  • 00:01:14.257 --> 00:01:17.460
  • Jesus and inspire you with a desire to be part of his family.
  • 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:22.499
  • And don't forget, stay tuned for a very important free offer at
  • 00:01:22.499 --> 00:01:26.769
  • The end of this presentation.
  • 00:01:26.769 --> 00:01:28.538
  • Doug: the message today, as you could tell from the scripture
  • 00:01:32.542 --> 00:01:36.179
  • Reading, is dealing with the fullness of time.
  • 00:01:36.179 --> 00:01:39.682
  • And when we think of the fullness of time during this
  • 00:01:39.682 --> 00:01:42.051
  • Time of year, we're thinking, of course, about christ's
  • 00:01:42.051 --> 00:01:45.121
  • First coming.
  • 00:01:45.121 --> 00:01:46.789
  • But jesus actually used that phrase twice.
  • 00:01:46.789 --> 00:01:49.826
  • Not only does paul say in galatians chapter 4, "but when
  • 00:01:49.826 --> 00:01:53.496
  • The fullness of time was come, god sent forth his son, made of
  • 00:01:53.496 --> 00:01:57.734
  • A woman," speaking of the birth of christ.
  • 00:01:57.734 --> 00:02:00.837
  • But also when jesus began his ministry, that marked another
  • 00:02:00.837 --> 00:02:04.107
  • Time in bible prophecy history.
  • 00:02:04.107 --> 00:02:06.476
  • And it says there in mark chapter 1, verse 15, he began
  • 00:02:06.476 --> 00:02:09.779
  • Preaching and the first words out of jesus's mouth were, "the
  • 00:02:09.779 --> 00:02:13.249
  • Time is fulfilled, the kingdom of god is at hand.
  • 00:02:13.249 --> 00:02:17.887
  • Repent, and believe the gospel."
  • 00:02:17.887 --> 00:02:21.424
  • So we're gonna be talking about some of the prophecies in the
  • 00:02:21.424 --> 00:02:24.027
  • Bible that prove that jesus was who he says he was.
  • 00:02:24.027 --> 00:02:27.864
  • You know, there are about 300 old testament prophecies that
  • 00:02:27.864 --> 00:02:32.001
  • Provide a number of precise identifying characteristics
  • 00:02:32.001 --> 00:02:36.406
  • Regarding the messiah.
  • 00:02:36.406 --> 00:02:37.740
  • And by the way, the word messiah means "the anointed one."
  • 00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:41.177
  • And it also, in greek, it's christos, or we call him
  • 00:02:41.177 --> 00:02:45.882
  • The christ.
  • 00:02:45.882 --> 00:02:47.250
  • That's why when they christen a ship, and when your parents put
  • 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:52.121
  • Suntan lotion on you, they are anointing you, they are
  • 00:02:52.121 --> 00:02:56.125
  • Christening you.
  • 00:02:56.125 --> 00:02:57.827
  • That's what that means.
  • 00:02:57.827 --> 00:02:59.162
  • It's the word messiah.
  • 00:02:59.162 --> 00:03:00.697
  • There would be one who would be filled with all the fullness
  • 00:03:00.697 --> 00:03:03.333
  • Of god.
  • 00:03:03.333 --> 00:03:04.667
  • He would be anointed with, filled, saturated with the holy
  • 00:03:04.667 --> 00:03:07.704
  • Spirit when god would come to the world in the form of a man.
  • 00:03:07.704 --> 00:03:11.774
  • And that was jesus.
  • 00:03:11.774 --> 00:03:13.209
  • But we're gonna show you from the bible that, that is so.
  • 00:03:13.209 --> 00:03:17.513
  • So can't talk about all 300 prophecies, but we're gonna take
  • 00:03:17.513 --> 00:03:21.584
  • A number of them.
  • 00:03:21.584 --> 00:03:22.919
  • And i hope that your faith is strengthened through
  • 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.454
  • This presentation.
  • 00:03:24.454 --> 00:03:25.788
  • From genesis to revelation, it talks about this battle between
  • 00:03:25.788 --> 00:03:30.426
  • Three primary characters.
  • 00:03:30.426 --> 00:03:32.195
  • You've got the seed of the woman, the messiah who would
  • 00:03:32.195 --> 00:03:34.564
  • Come, christ.
  • 00:03:34.564 --> 00:03:36.266
  • You've got the woman, and that's a symbol for the church,
  • 00:03:36.266 --> 00:03:38.801
  • The people of god.
  • 00:03:38.801 --> 00:03:40.403
  • And you've got the serpent or the dragon.
  • 00:03:40.403 --> 00:03:42.538
  • First prophecy in the bible you find in genesis chapter 3, verse
  • 00:03:42.538 --> 00:03:45.842
  • 15, where god said to adam and eve there in the garden, "and
  • 00:03:45.842 --> 00:03:49.846
  • I'll put enmity," there'd be this animosity, this opposition,
  • 00:03:49.846 --> 00:03:53.950
  • This war, "between you and the woman," the serpent and the
  • 00:03:53.950 --> 00:03:56.786
  • Woman, "between your seed," that's babylon and her
  • 00:03:56.786 --> 00:04:00.690
  • Daughters, the serpent in its seed, "and her seed.
  • 00:04:00.690 --> 00:04:05.194
  • And he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel,"
  • 00:04:05.194 --> 00:04:10.033
  • The heel of the church.
  • 00:04:10.033 --> 00:04:11.367
  • That's, you know, when you walk, if you're, i sprained my ankle
  • 00:04:11.367 --> 00:04:14.404
  • A little this week and i was limping for a couple of days,
  • 00:04:14.404 --> 00:04:17.473
  • Hurt the foot, and it affects your walk, and the devil has
  • 00:04:17.473 --> 00:04:21.844
  • Been biting at the heel of the believers all through history.
  • 00:04:21.844 --> 00:04:26.783
  • But it says in the end, that the seed of the woman would crush
  • 00:04:26.783 --> 00:04:30.186
  • The head.
  • 00:04:30.186 --> 00:04:31.521
  • If you get your head crushed, that's a lot different than
  • 00:04:31.521 --> 00:04:33.656
  • Having your foot bit.
  • 00:04:33.656 --> 00:04:35.491
  • There would be a mortal wound that would finally be dealt to
  • 00:04:35.491 --> 00:04:38.161
  • The serpent.
  • 00:04:38.161 --> 00:04:39.495
  • And you trace the prophecies in the bible, you go to the end of
  • 00:04:39.495 --> 00:04:42.131
  • The bible, and you read in revelation chapter 9.
  • 00:04:42.131 --> 00:04:45.401
  • Sorry, revelation chapter 12, verse 9, "so the great dragon
  • 00:04:45.401 --> 00:04:49.205
  • Was cast out, that serpent of old, called the devil and satan,
  • 00:04:49.205 --> 00:04:52.975
  • Who deceives the whole world," and he tries to destroy the
  • 00:04:52.975 --> 00:04:56.212
  • Woman and the seed of the woman, as you read in that chapter.
  • 00:04:56.212 --> 00:04:59.782
  • So this battle, the theme of the bible is consistent.
  • 00:04:59.782 --> 00:05:03.653
  • You know, in the first three chapters, you find man in
  • 00:05:03.653 --> 00:05:06.622
  • A paradise and he's surrounded with everything good.
  • 00:05:06.622 --> 00:05:11.594
  • But then because of the serpent, you have sin that comes in,
  • 00:05:11.594 --> 00:05:15.965
  • And all the misery and pain.
  • 00:05:15.965 --> 00:05:17.734
  • You get to the last three chapters of the bible, and
  • 00:05:17.734 --> 00:05:20.970
  • You have the serpent destroyed, and then you have
  • 00:05:20.970 --> 00:05:24.006
  • The garden of eden restored.
  • 00:05:24.006 --> 00:05:26.109
  • And once again, man is eating from the tree of life.
  • 00:05:26.109 --> 00:05:29.145
  • So the whole bible is about how to get back to the garden,
  • 00:05:29.145 --> 00:05:31.981
  • From the first three chapters to the last three chapters.
  • 00:05:31.981 --> 00:05:35.218
  • And the key, of course, is the messiah.
  • 00:05:35.218 --> 00:05:38.054
  • It's the savior.
  • 00:05:38.054 --> 00:05:39.422
  • God would come to earth as our savior and our substitute.
  • 00:05:39.422 --> 00:05:44.460
  • So we're gonna ask a number of questions here and let
  • 00:05:44.460 --> 00:05:47.063
  • The prophecies answer.
  • 00:05:47.063 --> 00:05:48.431
  • Now, most of the prophecies we're looking at are in
  • 00:05:48.431 --> 00:05:51.401
  • The old testament.
  • 00:05:51.401 --> 00:05:52.769
  • Just wanna remind you, you know, we have people at all
  • 00:05:52.769 --> 00:05:54.904
  • Different levels in their walk with the lord.
  • 00:05:54.904 --> 00:05:56.539
  • So you got the new testament book of matthew,
  • 00:05:56.539 --> 00:06:00.543
  • The old testament.
  • 00:06:00.543 --> 00:06:02.111
  • All of this was written before jesus was born.
  • 00:06:02.111 --> 00:06:05.615
  • This talks about the birth of christ.
  • 00:06:05.615 --> 00:06:07.817
  • Three quarters of the bible is old testament.
  • 00:06:07.817 --> 00:06:10.987
  • Most of the new testament was written by people that only read
  • 00:06:10.987 --> 00:06:14.657
  • The old testament.
  • 00:06:14.657 --> 00:06:16.993
  • Did you catch?
  • 00:06:16.993 --> 00:06:19.462
  • Talks about jesus even after the resurrection, or talks about
  • 00:06:19.462 --> 00:06:23.266
  • Paul and the apostles.
  • 00:06:23.266 --> 00:06:25.268
  • And they're always proving that jesus was the christ, pardon me,
  • 00:06:25.268 --> 00:06:30.540
  • From the old testament.
  • 00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:32.208
  • And so we're gonna look at those scriptures today and i think
  • 00:06:32.208 --> 00:06:35.611
  • You're gonna see why they came to that conclusion.
  • 00:06:35.611 --> 00:06:38.414
  • First of all, where did jesus come from?
  • 00:06:38.414 --> 00:06:40.650
  • He made some pretty bold statements.
  • 00:06:40.650 --> 00:06:42.418
  • He says in john 6:36, or 6:38, "for i have come down
  • 00:06:42.418 --> 00:06:47.356
  • From heaven."
  • 00:06:47.356 --> 00:06:49.225
  • Not only does he say it there, you can read in john 3, verse
  • 00:06:49.225 --> 00:06:52.929
  • 13, "no one has ascended into heaven but he that came down
  • 00:06:52.929 --> 00:06:57.567
  • From heaven, that is, the son of man who is in heaven."
  • 00:06:57.567 --> 00:07:01.704
  • He said he came from a place that is out of this world.
  • 00:07:01.704 --> 00:07:04.607
  • You can also read here in john 18, verse 36, "jesus said, 'my
  • 00:07:04.607 --> 00:07:09.445
  • Kingdom,'" he told pilate, "my kingdom is not of this world."
  • 00:07:09.445 --> 00:07:13.516
  • So jesus came from outside of this world, into this world,
  • 00:07:13.516 --> 00:07:18.354
  • And you and i will not understand through eternity.
  • 00:07:18.354 --> 00:07:21.491
  • We'll have a better idea when we get to the kingdom, how much
  • 00:07:21.491 --> 00:07:25.628
  • Jesus condescended to become a human and come to our world.
  • 00:07:25.628 --> 00:07:31.100
  • It'd be like you and i deciding to be a worm in a city dump.
  • 00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:35.638
  • To go from the glory that he had and the adoration he had, and
  • 00:07:35.638 --> 00:07:39.542
  • Come down and be treated like he was, it's just incomprehensible.
  • 00:07:39.542 --> 00:07:43.546
  • What would bring him to do that other than the explanation that
  • 00:07:43.546 --> 00:07:47.617
  • He loves us.
  • 00:07:47.617 --> 00:07:49.585
  • Did jesus claim divinity?
  • 00:07:49.585 --> 00:07:51.954
  • Now, there have been some people who've been debating this for
  • 00:07:51.954 --> 00:07:54.323
  • Years, but i don't see how you can read the bible and deny it.
  • 00:07:54.323 --> 00:07:58.461
  • You can read in mark 2, verse 10, "the son of man has power
  • 00:07:58.461 --> 00:08:01.998
  • On earth to forgive sins."
  • 00:08:01.998 --> 00:08:03.466
  • And even the jews knew god and god only can forgive sin.
  • 00:08:03.466 --> 00:08:07.203
  • There is one god, jehovah is our only savior, and yet jesus said
  • 00:08:07.203 --> 00:08:11.807
  • He is the savior.
  • 00:08:11.807 --> 00:08:13.509
  • The bible tells us that all the criteria that you would find
  • 00:08:13.509 --> 00:08:16.546
  • About god, you find about jesus.
  • 00:08:16.546 --> 00:08:18.981
  • Only god knows the thoughts of men's hearts, yet jesus always
  • 00:08:18.981 --> 00:08:22.685
  • Knew what they were thinking.
  • 00:08:22.685 --> 00:08:24.153
  • The bible says you are to worship god only, one of the
  • 00:08:24.153 --> 00:08:26.589
  • Ten commandments.
  • 00:08:26.589 --> 00:08:27.957
  • But in hebrews, it says even the angels worship him.
  • 00:08:27.957 --> 00:08:30.726
  • And when he rose from the dead, he said, "all hail," and they
  • 00:08:30.726 --> 00:08:33.429
  • Worshiped him.
  • 00:08:33.429 --> 00:08:34.797
  • And so jesus fills all the criteria of god.
  • 00:08:34.797 --> 00:08:38.634
  • You can look in john 8:58, jesus said to them, "most assuredly,
  • 00:08:38.634 --> 00:08:43.005
  • I say to you, before abraham was," what did he say?
  • 00:08:43.005 --> 00:08:46.976
  • "i am."
  • 00:08:46.976 --> 00:08:48.311
  • That is the name that god gave to moses as the self
  • 00:08:48.311 --> 00:08:52.748
  • Existent one.
  • 00:08:52.748 --> 00:08:54.116
  • Furthermore, you read in john 10, verse 30 and verse 33,
  • 00:08:54.116 --> 00:08:58.220
  • He said, "i and my father or are one."
  • 00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:01.223
  • The leaders listening understood what he was saying.
  • 00:09:01.223 --> 00:09:03.960
  • The jews answered and said, you being a man are making
  • 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.395
  • Yourself god.
  • 00:09:06.395 --> 00:09:07.730
  • Now, if i said that, it would be blasphemy.
  • 00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:09.231
  • But if jesus said it, it's true.
  • 00:09:09.231 --> 00:09:12.335
  • If i say that i'm a great basketball player, that's
  • 00:09:13.603 --> 00:09:16.906
  • Bragging and lying.
  • 00:09:16.906 --> 00:09:20.343
  • If michael jordan says, i'm just not very good.
  • 00:09:20.343 --> 00:09:23.312
  • That's not humility, that's dishonesty.
  • 00:09:23.312 --> 00:09:25.314
  • He has every right to say i'm one of the best,
  • 00:09:25.314 --> 00:09:27.917
  • Because he was, you know what i'm saying?
  • 00:09:27.917 --> 00:09:31.020
  • So jesus is stating a fact.
  • 00:09:31.020 --> 00:09:32.355
  • He's not bragging or it's not the visions of grandeur.
  • 00:09:32.355 --> 00:09:36.192
  • Furthermore read in john 10, verse 17, "therefore, my father
  • 00:09:36.192 --> 00:09:39.996
  • Loves me, because i lay down my life, that i might take
  • 00:09:39.996 --> 00:09:43.032
  • It again.
  • 00:09:43.032 --> 00:09:44.367
  • No one takes it from me, but i lay it down of myself.
  • 00:09:44.367 --> 00:09:47.903
  • I have power to lay it down, and i have power to take it again."
  • 00:09:47.903 --> 00:09:51.574
  • How could anyone have power to lay down their life, be dead,
  • 00:09:51.574 --> 00:09:54.510
  • And power to take it back up again?
  • 00:09:54.510 --> 00:09:57.480
  • Except you are divine.
  • 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.316
  • So how do we evaluate these very big claims?
  • 00:10:00.316 --> 00:10:03.653
  • Where do we go?
  • 00:10:03.653 --> 00:10:05.021
  • We've got to look at the history that we have, and most accounts
  • 00:10:05.021 --> 00:10:08.391
  • About the life of jesus are in the bible.
  • 00:10:08.391 --> 00:10:10.526
  • Though we will look at one or two that
  • 00:10:10.526 --> 00:10:12.061
  • Are extra-biblical today.
  • 00:10:12.061 --> 00:10:14.463
  • "search the scriptures, these are they that testify of me."
  • 00:10:14.463 --> 00:10:19.735
  • And if you look, for instance, in luke 24, when he rose from
  • 00:10:19.735 --> 00:10:22.805
  • The dead in verse 27, he's walking on the road with
  • 00:10:22.805 --> 00:10:26.375
  • Two disciples following the resurrection.
  • 00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:28.477
  • They don't know that he's raised, and he says, "o, fools
  • 00:10:28.477 --> 00:10:32.214
  • And slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken."
  • 00:10:32.214 --> 00:10:36.018
  • Notice he says, "'all that the prophets have spoken.'
  • 00:10:36.018 --> 00:10:38.387
  • Beginning at moses and all of the prophets, he expounded unto
  • 00:10:38.387 --> 00:10:43.225
  • Them in all of the scriptures the things concerning himself."
  • 00:10:43.225 --> 00:10:48.197
  • That means that the old testament is filled from moses
  • 00:10:48.197 --> 00:10:51.467
  • To malachi with prophecies that talk about jesus.
  • 00:10:51.467 --> 00:10:54.904
  • Doesn't mean every word of the old testament is talking about
  • 00:10:54.904 --> 00:10:57.106
  • Jesus, but you can find the theme of jesus, the messiah,
  • 00:10:57.106 --> 00:11:00.876
  • The plan of salvation all through the old testament.
  • 00:11:00.876 --> 00:11:04.880
  • Hebrews 10, verse 7, "then i said, behold, i come (in the
  • 00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:09.051
  • Volume of the book it is written of me,)
  • 00:11:09.051 --> 00:11:11.854
  • To do your will, o god."
  • 00:11:11.854 --> 00:11:13.756
  • The volume of the book, it is written of christ, and he was
  • 00:11:13.756 --> 00:11:18.094
  • The living expression of the will of god.
  • 00:11:18.094 --> 00:11:20.563
  • He lived out every aspect of the will of god in his life.
  • 00:11:20.563 --> 00:11:25.101
  • So let's begin to track down how do we know that jesus was
  • 00:11:25.101 --> 00:11:29.605
  • The messiah?
  • 00:11:29.605 --> 00:11:30.940
  • Well, the bible gives us some very specific understanding on
  • 00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:34.310
  • The family tree of the messiah,
  • 00:11:34.310 --> 00:11:37.713
  • What people, tribe, and family would the messiah come from.
  • 00:11:37.713 --> 00:11:41.550
  • Way back in genesis chapter 12, god spoke to abraham and he
  • 00:11:41.550 --> 00:11:45.988
  • Said, "in you, all the families of the earth would be blessed."
  • 00:11:45.988 --> 00:11:50.860
  • In fact, he repeats this promise to abraham three different times
  • 00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:55.231
  • Or slightly different, but he made it very clear that i have
  • 00:11:55.231 --> 00:11:58.367
  • Called you out of babylon to the promised land, and through your
  • 00:11:58.367 --> 00:12:02.204
  • Descendants, the messiah would come.
  • 00:12:02.204 --> 00:12:05.174
  • But you know, abraham was not only the father of uh isaac and
  • 00:12:05.174 --> 00:12:10.146
  • Ishmael from which you get, you know, the whole arab family.
  • 00:12:10.146 --> 00:12:15.384
  • Not every arab is a muslim, you know?
  • 00:12:15.384 --> 00:12:18.387
  • There are arab christians and a person can be born with jewish
  • 00:12:18.387 --> 00:12:22.625
  • Blood and become a muslim.
  • 00:12:22.625 --> 00:12:24.293
  • I know of jews that have become buddhists.
  • 00:12:24.293 --> 00:12:27.062
  • But islam did start from the descendants of abraham, but
  • 00:12:27.062 --> 00:12:34.470
  • Abraham also had a lot of children with keturah.
  • 00:12:34.470 --> 00:12:37.239
  • So which son was the messiah going to come through?
  • 00:12:37.239 --> 00:12:40.176
  • Well, the bible spells it out.
  • 00:12:40.176 --> 00:12:42.077
  • He said to isaac, i will give your descendants all these lands
  • 00:12:42.077 --> 00:12:46.615
  • And he repeated the promise to isaac, and in your seed, through
  • 00:12:46.615 --> 00:12:50.953
  • Your descendants, all the nations would be blessed.
  • 00:12:50.953 --> 00:12:54.390
  • The messiah would come through the descendants of isaac.
  • 00:12:54.390 --> 00:12:57.560
  • Now, isaac was a type of christ.
  • 00:12:57.560 --> 00:13:00.396
  • When isaac went up the mountain with his father, he was a
  • 00:13:00.396 --> 00:13:02.932
  • Willing sacrifice there in the prime of his life.
  • 00:13:02.932 --> 00:13:07.203
  • And he had the wood on his back as jesus had the cross on his
  • 00:13:07.203 --> 00:13:10.239
  • Back as he went up calvary.
  • 00:13:10.239 --> 00:13:12.741
  • And the bible tells us that, in the same way, it looked like
  • 00:13:12.741 --> 00:13:16.345
  • Isaac was doomed, but he came down the mountain alive, jesus,
  • 00:13:16.345 --> 00:13:21.283
  • Also rose from the dead.
  • 00:13:21.283 --> 00:13:23.252
  • So he's a type of christ, but the messiah was gonna come
  • 00:13:23.252 --> 00:13:26.689
  • Through isaac.
  • 00:13:26.689 --> 00:13:28.023
  • Now, isaac had two sons.
  • 00:13:28.023 --> 00:13:29.391
  • What were their names?
  • 00:13:29.391 --> 00:13:31.193
  • Jacob and esau.
  • 00:13:31.193 --> 00:13:33.762
  • They were very different, but it tells us which of those two sons
  • 00:13:33.762 --> 00:13:38.000
  • That the messiah would come through.
  • 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.602
  • God said to jacob in numbers 24, verse 17, "a star shall come out
  • 00:13:39.602 --> 00:13:45.441
  • Of jacob, a sceptre shall rise out of israel."
  • 00:13:45.441 --> 00:13:49.211
  • And even the prophecies that were given before their birth to
  • 00:13:49.211 --> 00:13:51.814
  • Rebekah, made it clear that the older esau would serve
  • 00:13:51.814 --> 00:13:55.317
  • The younger.
  • 00:13:55.317 --> 00:13:56.685
  • That it would be through the younger, jacob, who took hold
  • 00:13:56.685 --> 00:14:00.522
  • Of his brother's heel, the one who wrestled with god, his name
  • 00:14:00.522 --> 00:14:03.459
  • Was jacob, later changed to israel, meaning a prince with
  • 00:14:03.459 --> 00:14:06.795
  • God, because he wrestled with god and would not let go until
  • 00:14:06.795 --> 00:14:10.499
  • He had that blessing.
  • 00:14:10.499 --> 00:14:12.835
  • But then jacob had 12 sons.
  • 00:14:12.835 --> 00:14:15.204
  • So which one of them is the messiah gonna come through?
  • 00:14:15.204 --> 00:14:18.040
  • The bible is so specific.
  • 00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:19.875
  • You read here in genesis 49, when jacob was blessing his
  • 00:14:19.875 --> 00:14:22.778
  • Sons, it said, "the sceptre will not depart from judah, nor a
  • 00:14:22.778 --> 00:14:27.449
  • Lawgiver from between his feet, until shiloh come; and unto him
  • 00:14:27.449 --> 00:14:32.454
  • Shall be the gathering of the people."
  • 00:14:32.454 --> 00:14:34.857
  • I always thought it was interesting that judah was
  • 00:14:34.857 --> 00:14:39.061
  • The one of the brothers who suggested they sell joseph
  • 00:14:39.061 --> 00:14:42.364
  • Instead of killing him, which was, you know, better,
  • 00:14:42.364 --> 00:14:46.502
  • Of course.
  • 00:14:46.502 --> 00:14:48.337
  • But it was judas that sold jesus.
  • 00:14:48.337 --> 00:14:51.006
  • But later judah went through a real conversion, and when he
  • 00:14:51.006 --> 00:14:53.676
  • Went down to egypt, he had changed so much, that he told
  • 00:14:53.676 --> 00:14:57.346
  • Joseph, he didn't know joseph was joseph.
  • 00:14:57.346 --> 00:14:58.814
  • He told this prime minister, he said, "i will take
  • 00:14:58.814 --> 00:15:01.984
  • Benjamin's place.
  • 00:15:01.984 --> 00:15:03.819
  • I will be a slave."
  • 00:15:03.819 --> 00:15:05.321
  • He was willing to be the great substitute.
  • 00:15:05.321 --> 00:15:07.222
  • He had changed.
  • 00:15:07.222 --> 00:15:08.590
  • Well, the messiah was gonna come through the tribe of judah.
  • 00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:11.627
  • Well, judah had at least three sons, two of his sons died
  • 00:15:11.627 --> 00:15:15.464
  • Before they we're able to procreate.
  • 00:15:15.464 --> 00:15:18.801
  • And it tells us that the messiah was gonna come through the clan
  • 00:15:18.801 --> 00:15:24.373
  • Of david.
  • 00:15:24.373 --> 00:15:25.841
  • You read about this in isaiah 11, verse 1 and 2, "there shall
  • 00:15:25.841 --> 00:15:30.312
  • Come a rod, a stem from jesse," the house of jesse, and jesse
  • 00:15:30.312 --> 00:15:35.084
  • Had several sons, but which son?
  • 00:15:35.084 --> 00:15:37.186
  • And it said, "a branch shall grow from his roots: and the
  • 00:15:37.186 --> 00:15:40.222
  • Spirit of the lord shall rest upon him."
  • 00:15:40.222 --> 00:15:42.825
  • Later, the prophet nathan comes to david and says that
  • 00:15:42.825 --> 00:15:46.795
  • "your son will build me a house that will last forever."
  • 00:15:46.795 --> 00:15:49.431
  • Speaking of the son of david, not only did solomon build
  • 00:15:49.431 --> 00:15:52.267
  • A temple, but the son of david that would build a house that
  • 00:15:52.267 --> 00:15:55.237
  • Would last forever is jesus.
  • 00:15:55.237 --> 00:15:57.039
  • That's why jesus said, destroy this temple made with hands,
  • 00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.109
  • And in three days, i will make one without hands.
  • 00:16:00.109 --> 00:16:02.378
  • So you notice how the focus keeps getting a little sharper
  • 00:16:02.378 --> 00:16:05.848
  • As we're going through these prophecies, who is gonna be
  • 00:16:05.848 --> 00:16:07.950
  • The messiah.
  • 00:16:07.950 --> 00:16:09.284
  • By the way, i heard somebody did--since there's 300
  • 00:16:09.284 --> 00:16:11.954
  • Prophecies in the old testament that help identify jesus.
  • 00:16:11.954 --> 00:16:15.991
  • Someone did some math and they said the statistical odds of
  • 00:16:15.991 --> 00:16:21.497
  • Finding one person that meets the criteria of only eight of
  • 00:16:21.497 --> 00:16:25.901
  • These prophecies is, what is the word, a zillion beyond
  • 00:16:25.901 --> 00:16:30.105
  • A trillion?
  • 00:16:30.105 --> 00:16:31.473
  • What's the next?
  • 00:16:31.473 --> 00:16:34.109
  • A google?
  • 00:16:34.109 --> 00:16:36.278
  • Google is one of those.
  • 00:16:36.278 --> 00:16:37.713
  • Anyway, it's an astronomical number just so far beyond
  • 00:16:37.713 --> 00:16:41.250
  • The possibility that it could be coincidence that all of these
  • 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:45.287
  • Criteria would line up in one person.
  • 00:16:45.287 --> 00:16:48.257
  • Someone said it's something like taking the state of texas,
  • 00:16:48.257 --> 00:16:52.995
  • Covering it with quarters 2 feet deep, and then telling you that
  • 00:16:52.995 --> 00:16:57.366
  • There is one quarter out there that has been dipped in
  • 00:16:57.366 --> 00:17:01.170
  • Gold, go find it.
  • 00:17:01.170 --> 00:17:04.006
  • You know how big texas is?
  • 00:17:04.006 --> 00:17:06.241
  • So you cover the state of texas with quarters 2 feet deep, you
  • 00:17:06.241 --> 00:17:09.344
  • Gotta find that one quarter.
  • 00:17:09.344 --> 00:17:10.846
  • It's just the odds are astronomical.
  • 00:17:10.846 --> 00:17:14.983
  • So we know jesus came, of course, through the tribe
  • 00:17:14.983 --> 00:17:18.087
  • Of david.
  • 00:17:18.087 --> 00:17:19.455
  • And let's look at some verses to prove that
  • 00:17:19.455 --> 00:17:20.789
  • Now from the new testament.
  • 00:17:20.789 --> 00:17:22.191
  • You read in luke chapter 1, verse 26
  • 00:17:22.191 --> 00:17:24.426
  • And verse 27, "now in the sixth month the angel gabriel was sent
  • 00:17:24.426 --> 00:17:30.065
  • By god to a city of galilee, named nazareth."
  • 00:17:30.065 --> 00:17:33.969
  • Where was the angel sent?
  • 00:17:33.969 --> 00:17:36.538
  • Nazareth.
  • 00:17:36.538 --> 00:17:37.906
  • You know what nazareth means in aramaic?
  • 00:17:37.906 --> 00:17:40.209
  • It's the word branch, that comes up later for two reasons.
  • 00:17:40.209 --> 00:17:45.080
  • "to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was joseph, of
  • 00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:49.785
  • The house of," who?
  • 00:17:49.785 --> 00:17:51.720
  • "the house of david."
  • 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.589
  • Not only that, but said he'd be born of a virgin.
  • 00:17:53.589 --> 00:17:56.592
  • That's a whole separate prophecy that you find.
  • 00:17:56.592 --> 00:17:59.027
  • Look here in the book of isaiah chapter 7, verse 14, "behold,
  • 00:17:59.027 --> 00:18:03.265
  • A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and you will call his
  • 00:18:03.265 --> 00:18:07.236
  • Name emmanuel," which is being interpreted god with us.
  • 00:18:07.236 --> 00:18:10.606
  • And then you go to the new testament and we see that that
  • 00:18:10.606 --> 00:18:13.509
  • Was fulfilled there.
  • 00:18:13.509 --> 00:18:15.110
  • Now the birth, this is matthew 1:18, the birth of jesus christ
  • 00:18:15.110 --> 00:18:18.847
  • Was as follows, "after his mother mary was betrothed to
  • 00:18:18.847 --> 00:18:22.217
  • Joseph," that means they were engaged, "before they came
  • 00:18:22.217 --> 00:18:25.754
  • Together, she was found to be with child of the holy spirit."
  • 00:18:25.754 --> 00:18:30.392
  • And we heard where the angel said, "the power of the almighty
  • 00:18:30.392 --> 00:18:33.295
  • Would come over you."
  • 00:18:33.295 --> 00:18:34.897
  • And that's why, you know, jesus is this supernatural, and that's
  • 00:18:34.897 --> 00:18:41.069
  • The correct word, supernatural combination of human and divine.
  • 00:18:41.069 --> 00:18:48.143
  • The place of his birth is spelled out in the bible.
  • 00:18:48.143 --> 00:18:51.980
  • You can read the prophecy here in the book of micah, chapter 5,
  • 00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:55.083
  • Verse 2, "but you, bethlehem ephratah," now, the reason he
  • 00:18:55.083 --> 00:18:58.554
  • Says bethlehem ephratah is there were two places
  • 00:18:58.554 --> 00:19:01.023
  • Called bethlehem.
  • 00:19:01.023 --> 00:19:02.357
  • You know, it's like in north america, you got several cities
  • 00:19:02.357 --> 00:19:04.426
  • Called farmington, it means farming town.
  • 00:19:04.426 --> 00:19:06.995
  • There's a couple of portlands, you got portland, maine, you got
  • 00:19:06.995 --> 00:19:10.065
  • Portland, oregon.
  • 00:19:10.065 --> 00:19:11.767
  • But, so there was a--the word bethlehem means house of bread.
  • 00:19:11.767 --> 00:19:15.370
  • It was not an uncommon--anywhere that had a big bakery.
  • 00:19:15.370 --> 00:19:17.940
  • It might be called a house of bread, but this was the
  • 00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:19.908
  • Bethlehem ephratah, and this is where rachel died, giving birth
  • 00:19:19.908 --> 00:19:24.680
  • To benjamin.
  • 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:26.281
  • And she was buried there and it was just outside, or not too far
  • 00:19:26.281 --> 00:19:30.385
  • From jerusalem.
  • 00:19:30.385 --> 00:19:32.287
  • "but you bethlehem ephratah, though you are little among the
  • 00:19:32.287 --> 00:19:35.090
  • Thousands of judah," it's a little hamlet, "yet out of you
  • 00:19:35.090 --> 00:19:39.127
  • Shall come forth to me the one who's the ruler in israel; whose
  • 00:19:39.127 --> 00:19:43.565
  • Goings forth are from old, even from everlasting."
  • 00:19:43.565 --> 00:19:46.635
  • Now, that prophecy is so clear, it can't be misunderstood.
  • 00:19:46.635 --> 00:19:49.771
  • That prophecy is so clear that when the wise men came looking
  • 00:19:49.771 --> 00:19:53.775
  • For the one who was born king of the jews, and herod got all
  • 00:19:53.775 --> 00:19:58.046
  • Upset and agitated that there was gonna be someone to replace
  • 00:19:58.046 --> 00:20:01.383
  • Him, i don't know why he was worried about a baby king at
  • 00:20:01.383 --> 00:20:04.486
  • That point because he was already a pretty old man, and
  • 00:20:04.486 --> 00:20:06.555
  • He had nothing to worry about by the time the baby grew up.
  • 00:20:06.555 --> 00:20:09.157
  • He called in the scribes and pharisees and said, where does
  • 00:20:09.157 --> 00:20:11.927
  • The prophecy say that the messiah would be born?
  • 00:20:11.927 --> 00:20:15.297
  • They knew, they said bethlehem.
  • 00:20:15.297 --> 00:20:18.000
  • So it was really clear, it's clear from this,
  • 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.270
  • Was jesus born in bethlehem?
  • 00:20:21.270 --> 00:20:23.805
  • He was.
  • 00:20:23.805 --> 00:20:25.140
  • Now there's a problem, where did the angel come and appear
  • 00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.343
  • To mary?
  • 00:20:28.343 --> 00:20:30.245
  • Nazareth, remember we just read that?
  • 00:20:30.245 --> 00:20:32.648
  • "an angel came to a virgin that was in the city of galilee
  • 00:20:32.648 --> 00:20:35.417
  • Called nazareth."
  • 00:20:35.417 --> 00:20:36.952
  • Nazareth is 70 miles north, and she is found to be with child
  • 00:20:36.952 --> 00:20:42.324
  • 70 miles north.
  • 00:20:42.324 --> 00:20:44.059
  • And 70 miles back then was more than 70 miles today, because
  • 00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:49.331
  • 70 miles today, you conquer in an hour.
  • 00:20:49.331 --> 00:20:51.266
  • Some of you conquer it in half an hour,
  • 00:20:51.266 --> 00:20:53.602
  • Depends on how you drive.
  • 00:20:53.602 --> 00:20:56.004
  • But back then it was a pretty serious journey.
  • 00:20:56.004 --> 00:20:59.441
  • So god has to somehow get mary down to bethlehem before she
  • 00:20:59.441 --> 00:21:03.378
  • Gives birth.
  • 00:21:03.378 --> 00:21:04.713
  • Enter octavian caesar, also known as augustus caesar.
  • 00:21:04.713 --> 00:21:08.750
  • We've got a month named after him.
  • 00:21:08.750 --> 00:21:10.619
  • He was one of the most successful leaders in history.
  • 00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:13.188
  • He ruled rome for about 40 years, and it was during
  • 00:21:13.188 --> 00:21:16.625
  • The time of what they call the great "pax romana."
  • 00:21:16.625 --> 00:21:20.162
  • That means the roman peace.
  • 00:21:20.162 --> 00:21:22.631
  • See when jesus came, it was ideal in its timing
  • 00:21:22.631 --> 00:21:26.201
  • Historically, and it was ideal in its location.
  • 00:21:26.201 --> 00:21:30.806
  • Why was it ideal in its timing?
  • 00:21:30.806 --> 00:21:33.141
  • Because augustus caesar, he was the one who really went and
  • 00:21:33.141 --> 00:21:37.813
  • Stretched the roman roads farther than ever.
  • 00:21:37.813 --> 00:21:40.482
  • It was like the internet, communication--karen was in
  • 00:21:40.482 --> 00:21:43.452
  • Greece a little while ago, and she was telling me about seeing
  • 00:21:43.452 --> 00:21:45.654
  • The ancient roman roads, and i told her, they looked a lot
  • 00:21:45.654 --> 00:21:48.156
  • Better back then than they do now.
  • 00:21:48.156 --> 00:21:51.526
  • And they used to go screaming up and down those roads with
  • 00:21:51.526 --> 00:21:55.063
  • Chariots, like the pony express and they'd change
  • 00:21:55.063 --> 00:21:57.165
  • Riders and messages went flashing through the empire.
  • 00:21:57.165 --> 00:22:00.635
  • For them, it was lightning speed.
  • 00:22:00.635 --> 00:22:02.671
  • And so communications happened very quickly.
  • 00:22:02.671 --> 00:22:05.707
  • Another reason the timing was perfect is the jews had been
  • 00:22:05.707 --> 00:22:09.378
  • Scattered all over the roman empire, and they were
  • 00:22:09.378 --> 00:22:11.713
  • In industries.
  • 00:22:11.713 --> 00:22:13.048
  • If you doubt that, read acts chapter 2, when the holy spirit
  • 00:22:13.048 --> 00:22:15.984
  • Was poured out.
  • 00:22:15.984 --> 00:22:17.452
  • Says, "now devout jews from out of every nation under heaven
  • 00:22:17.452 --> 00:22:22.824
  • Came to jerusalem for pentecost."
  • 00:22:22.824 --> 00:22:25.427
  • So when the holy spirit was poured out and the news about
  • 00:22:25.427 --> 00:22:28.130
  • Jesus spread, they were converted.
  • 00:22:28.130 --> 00:22:30.465
  • They then fanned out from jerusalem back to their homes
  • 00:22:30.465 --> 00:22:33.935
  • And the gospel spread on those roman roads like lightning.
  • 00:22:33.935 --> 00:22:37.239
  • So that paul said in one generation, the gospel has been
  • 00:22:37.239 --> 00:22:39.708
  • Preached to every creature under heaven.
  • 00:22:39.708 --> 00:22:41.276
  • Of course, that was a little bit of hyperbole.
  • 00:22:41.276 --> 00:22:43.512
  • I'm not sure they had made it to, you know, south america and
  • 00:22:43.512 --> 00:22:46.715
  • Australia, and some of these places.
  • 00:22:46.715 --> 00:22:48.383
  • But the gospel had gone through the known civilized world in
  • 00:22:48.383 --> 00:22:51.953
  • One generation.
  • 00:22:51.953 --> 00:22:53.288
  • The other reason it was an ideal location is because the place
  • 00:22:53.288 --> 00:22:56.558
  • Where jesus was born, the land of israel was a land bridge
  • 00:22:56.558 --> 00:23:00.228
  • Between three great continents of europe, asia, and africa.
  • 00:23:00.228 --> 00:23:06.067
  • So here rome owned that territory.
  • 00:23:06.067 --> 00:23:09.571
  • Christ was born.
  • 00:23:09.571 --> 00:23:10.939
  • The message then went fanning out, it went into north africa,
  • 00:23:10.939 --> 00:23:13.975
  • It was taken down to ethiopia, it went off into india with
  • 00:23:13.975 --> 00:23:16.912
  • Thomas, it went off through europe with paul and peter and
  • 00:23:16.912 --> 00:23:20.115
  • The others.
  • 00:23:20.115 --> 00:23:21.450
  • So the timing was perfect.
  • 00:23:21.450 --> 00:23:23.452
  • So when the bible says, "in the fullness of time,"
  • 00:23:23.452 --> 00:23:27.155
  • Some people wonder, "why didn't jesus come 1,000 years
  • 00:23:27.155 --> 00:23:30.192
  • After adam sinned.
  • 00:23:30.192 --> 00:23:31.526
  • Why did he wait 4000 years?"
  • 00:23:31.526 --> 00:23:35.697
  • The ways of the lord is sometimes a mystery, but there's
  • 00:23:35.697 --> 00:23:37.732
  • Good reason for it.
  • 00:23:37.732 --> 00:23:39.067
  • He waited for the perfect timing.
  • 00:23:39.067 --> 00:23:40.502
  • He also waited for conditions to be at their lowest in some
  • 00:23:40.502 --> 00:23:44.706
  • Respects morally, when people especially needed, a time of
  • 00:23:44.706 --> 00:23:49.177
  • Darkness, this light shone the brightest.
  • 00:23:49.177 --> 00:23:52.647
  • So she went down to bethlehem, and luke chapter 2, verse 6,
  • 00:23:52.647 --> 00:23:58.553
  • "and so it was, while they were there, the days were
  • 00:23:58.553 --> 00:24:01.690
  • Accomplished that she should be delivered.
  • 00:24:01.690 --> 00:24:04.426
  • And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
  • 00:24:04.426 --> 00:24:08.230
  • In swaddling clothes," swaddling clothes is strips of cloth,
  • 00:24:08.230 --> 00:24:13.468
  • The early pampers, "and laid him in the manger; because there was
  • 00:24:13.468 --> 00:24:17.939
  • No room for them in the inn."
  • 00:24:17.939 --> 00:24:19.541
  • Isn't that something?
  • 00:24:19.541 --> 00:24:20.876
  • You've heard it before, but it's still staggering when you think
  • 00:24:20.876 --> 00:24:23.945
  • That god almighty of the cosmos comes to the world in the form
  • 00:24:23.945 --> 00:24:27.148
  • Of a man, and there's no room for him, and he comes to his own
  • 00:24:27.148 --> 00:24:30.819
  • People that had all the prophecies, and they do not
  • 00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:32.821
  • Know him.
  • 00:24:32.821 --> 00:24:34.356
  • And it's--the religious leaders totally miss it.
  • 00:24:34.356 --> 00:24:37.592
  • And yet it's revealed to a shepherd, and later to some
  • 00:24:37.592 --> 00:24:41.630
  • Foreign wise men or magi.
  • 00:24:41.630 --> 00:24:45.433
  • He's laid in a manger.
  • 00:24:45.433 --> 00:24:46.835
  • A manger is a place where you put grain for the beasts.
  • 00:24:46.835 --> 00:24:50.872
  • And i think it's interesting that here in a town called
  • 00:24:50.872 --> 00:24:54.876
  • "the house of bread," the bread of life is put in a vessel
  • 00:24:54.876 --> 00:24:59.514
  • For bread.
  • 00:24:59.514 --> 00:25:00.882
  • So everything about that is telling us that jesus is
  • 00:25:00.882 --> 00:25:03.285
  • The bread that came down from heaven, amen?
