  • 00:00:36.126 --> 00:00:38.628
  • My first week of teaching on
  • 00:00:38.628 --> 00:00:41.965
  • The word became flesh.
  • 00:00:41.965 --> 00:00:43.800
  • A powerful teaching.
  • 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.768
  • And actually, it's a combination
  • 00:00:45.768 --> 00:00:48.304
  • Of many different things
  • 00:00:48.304 --> 00:00:49.372
  • That i teach,
  • 00:00:49.372 --> 00:00:50.273
  • And it's all brought to bear
  • 00:00:50.273 --> 00:00:52.175
  • On the virgin birth.
  • 00:00:52.175 --> 00:00:53.376
  • I hadn't actually got to
  • 00:00:53.443 --> 00:00:54.210
  • I hadn't actually got to those scriptures yet
  • 00:00:54.277 --> 00:00:55.945
  • Those scriptures yet about the virgin birth of jesus,
  • 00:00:56.012 --> 00:00:58.515
  • About the virgin birth of jesus, but that's where i'm headed.
  • 00:00:58.581 --> 00:01:00.049
  • But that's where i'm headed. and what i'm doing is
  • 00:01:00.116 --> 00:01:01.050
  • And what i'm doing is giving some understanding of
  • 00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:02.886
  • Giving some understanding of why it took 4,000 years
  • 00:01:02.952 --> 00:01:06.322
  • Why it took 4,000 years for jesus to come into
  • 00:01:06.389 --> 00:01:07.924
  • For jesus to come into this earth as a little baby
  • 00:01:07.991 --> 00:01:10.260
  • This earth as a little baby and grow up,
  • 00:01:10.326 --> 00:01:10.960
  • And grow up, become our savior.
  • 00:01:11.027 --> 00:01:12.896
  • Become our savior. why did it take 4,000 years
  • 00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:14.297
  • Why did it take 4,000 years and why did god have to
  • 00:01:14.364 --> 00:01:16.499
  • And why did god have to become a man?
  • 00:01:16.566 --> 00:01:17.834
  • Become a man? couldn't he have redeemed us
  • 00:01:17.901 --> 00:01:19.135
  • Couldn't he have redeemed us some other way?
  • 00:01:19.202 --> 00:01:20.570
  • Some other way? i'm giving some background
  • 00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:21.938
  • I'm giving some background on this and ultimately,
  • 00:01:22.005 --> 00:01:24.007
  • On this and ultimately, if you understand these things
  • 00:01:24.073 --> 00:01:25.275
  • If you understand these things we're talking about,
  • 00:01:25.341 --> 00:01:26.176
  • We're talking about, it will make the virgin birth
  • 00:01:26.242 --> 00:01:28.111
  • It will make the virgin birth just come alive to you,
  • 00:01:28.178 --> 00:01:29.412
  • Just come alive to you, why it had to happen,
  • 00:01:29.479 --> 00:01:30.580
  • Why it had to happen, how it happened,
  • 00:01:30.647 --> 00:01:32.115
  • How it happened, and i believe it will bless you.
  • 00:01:32.182 --> 00:01:33.349

  • Plus, it'll help you in how to receive
  • 00:01:35.952 --> 00:01:36.786
  • In how to receive your miracle from god
  • 00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:38.221
  • Your miracle from god because the virgin birth
  • 00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:39.122
  • Because the virgin birth was an absolute miracle.
  • 00:01:39.189 --> 00:01:40.456
  • Was an absolute miracle. even god is constrained by
  • 00:01:40.523 --> 00:01:42.792
  • Even god is constrained by some of the laws that he made.
  • 00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:44.627
  • Some of the laws that he made. so i've already taught
  • 00:01:44.694 --> 00:01:45.428
  • So i've already taught a lot of things.
  • 00:01:45.495 --> 00:01:46.229
  • A lot of things. if you've missed any of this,
  • 00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:46.796
  • Please go back and look at
  • 00:01:47.363 --> 00:01:48.965
  • Our programs.
  • 00:01:48.965 --> 00:01:50.066
  • But i was sharing
  • 00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:50.967
  • The last couple of days
  • 00:01:51.034 --> 00:01:52.669
  • The last couple of days how that satan came to adam,
  • 00:01:52.735 --> 00:01:54.437
  • How that satan came to adam, and eve in genesis, chapter 3,
  • 00:01:54.504 --> 00:01:56.206
  • And eve in genesis, chapter 3, through a serpent,
  • 00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:57.607
  • Through a serpent, the most subtle animal.
  • 00:01:57.674 --> 00:01:58.608
  • The most subtle animal. not the biggest,
  • 00:01:58.675 --> 00:01:59.676
  • Not the biggest, not the most intimidating,
  • 00:01:59.742 --> 00:02:02.545
  • Not the most intimidating, not the most ferocious,
  • 00:02:02.612 --> 00:02:03.913
  • Not the most ferocious, but he came the...
  • 00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:04.514
  • But he came the... through the most subtle
  • 00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:05.648
  • Through the most subtle because he had no power
  • 00:02:05.715 --> 00:02:07.050
  • Because he had no power to force them to do anything.
  • 00:02:07.116 --> 00:02:08.484
  • To force them to do anything. he had to deceive them
  • 00:02:08.551 --> 00:02:09.919
  • He had to deceive them and get them to turn
  • 00:02:09.986 --> 00:02:11.888
  • And get them to turn the authority and control
  • 00:02:11.955 --> 00:02:13.389
  • The authority and control that god had given them
  • 00:02:13.456 --> 00:02:14.958
  • That god had given them over to satan.
  • 00:02:15.024 --> 00:02:16.159
  • Over to satan. and i made a statement
  • 00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:17.126
  • And i made a statement two days ago; this would've been
  • 00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:18.494
  • Two days ago; this would've been on wednesday's broadcast,
  • 00:02:18.561 --> 00:02:19.662
  • On wednesday's broadcast, and i didn't have time
  • 00:02:19.729 --> 00:02:20.530
  • And i didn't have time to explain it.
  • 00:02:20.597 --> 00:02:21.264
  • To explain it. i want to go into that
  • 00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:22.565
  • I want to go into that a little more today.
  • 00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:24.734
  • A little more today. but i said
  • 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:25.301
  • But i said that god created lucifer.
  • 00:02:25.368 --> 00:02:27.937
  • That god created lucifer. this is from isaiah, chapter 14,
  • 00:02:28.004 --> 00:02:30.640
  • This is from isaiah, chapter 14, and lucifer was a godly angel.
  • 00:02:30.707 --> 00:02:34.611
  • And lucifer was a godly angel. ezekiel, chapter 28,
  • 00:02:34.677 --> 00:02:35.812
  • Ezekiel, chapter 28, talks about all of the things
  • 00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:37.447
  • Talks about all of the things that he was adorned with
  • 00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:38.715
  • That he was adorned with and it describes him
  • 00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:39.616
  • And it describes him in perfection as being
  • 00:02:39.682 --> 00:02:41.150
  • In perfection as being in the garden of eden
  • 00:02:41.217 --> 00:02:43.119
  • In the garden of eden in this state of perfection.
  • 00:02:43.186 --> 00:02:46.422
  • In this state of perfection. don't forget where i'm going.
  • 00:02:46.489 --> 00:02:47.490
  • Don't forget where i'm going. i'm...i'm saying that to myself
  • 00:02:47.557 --> 00:02:48.691
  • I'm...i'm saying that to myself as much as to you,
  • 00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:49.859
  • As much as to you, but let me turn over here
  • 00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.828
  • But let me turn over here ezekiel, chapter 28,
  • 00:02:51.894 --> 00:02:54.097
  • Ezekiel, chapter 28, for just a second
  • 00:02:54.163 --> 00:02:54.731
  • For just a second and read a couple of
  • 00:02:54.797 --> 00:02:55.498
  • And read a couple of these things,
  • 00:02:55.565 --> 00:02:56.199
  • These things, because this is pertinent to
  • 00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:57.200
  • Because this is pertinent to what i'm talking about.
  • 00:02:57.267 --> 00:02:58.935
  • What i'm talking about. but ezekiel, chapter 28,
  • 00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:00.603
  • But ezekiel, chapter 28, is describing satan
  • 00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:02.805
  • Is describing satan in the garden of eden.
  • 00:03:02.872 --> 00:03:04.474
  • Ezekiel 28:12, son of man,
  • 00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:06.109
  • Ezekiel 28:12, son of man, take up a lamentation upon
  • 00:03:06.175 --> 00:03:07.443
  • Take up a lamentation upon the king of tyrus,
  • 00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:09.178
  • The king of tyrus, if i had time,
  • 00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:09.746
  • I could show you
  • 00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:10.680
  • I could show you that this is not talking about
  • 00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:11.914
  • That this is not talking about the physical man,
  • 00:03:11.981 --> 00:03:13.249
  • The physical man, some of the things
  • 00:03:13.316 --> 00:03:13.816
  • Some of the things that's said right here.
  • 00:03:13.883 --> 00:03:16.352
  • That's said right here. it even calls him a cherub
  • 00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:18.288
  • It even calls him a cherub which is an angelic being.
  • 00:03:18.354 --> 00:03:20.356
  • Which is an angelic being. but it's talking
  • 00:03:20.423 --> 00:03:21.090
  • But it's talking about the demonic power
  • 00:03:21.157 --> 00:03:22.191
  • About the demonic power that operated through him.
  • 00:03:22.258 --> 00:03:23.626
  • That operated through him. this happened in
  • 00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:24.260
  • This happened in daniel, chapter 9,
  • 00:03:24.327 --> 00:03:25.395
  • Daniel, chapter 9, and chapter 10,
  • 00:03:25.461 --> 00:03:26.396
  • And chapter 10, talking about
  • 00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:26.896
  • Talking about the prince of persia
  • 00:03:26.963 --> 00:03:27.830
  • The prince of persia came and withstood them
  • 00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:28.865
  • Came and withstood them and fought against
  • 00:03:28.931 --> 00:03:29.465
  • And fought against michael the archangel.
  • 00:03:29.532 --> 00:03:31.267
  • Michael the archangel. it isn't talking about
  • 00:03:31.334 --> 00:03:32.035
  • It isn't talking about the physical person.
  • 00:03:32.101 --> 00:03:33.102
  • The physical person. it's talking about
  • 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:33.603
  • It's talking about the demonic power
  • 00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:34.470
  • The demonic power operating behind him.
  • 00:03:34.537 --> 00:03:36.105
  • But it goes on and says,
  • 00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:37.407
  • But it goes on and says, take up a lamentation
  • 00:03:37.473 --> 00:03:38.374
  • Take up a lamentation upon the king of tyrus,
  • 00:03:38.441 --> 00:03:39.776
  • Upon the king of tyrus, and say unto him,
  • 00:03:39.842 --> 00:03:41.311
  • And say unto him, thus saith the lord god;
  • 00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:42.845
  • Thus saith the lord god; thou sealest up the sum,
  • 00:03:42.912 --> 00:03:44.347
  • Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom,
  • 00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:45.882
  • Full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
  • 00:03:45.948 --> 00:03:47.684
  • And perfect in beauty. thou hast been in eden
  • 00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:49.686
  • Thou hast been in eden the garden of god.
  • 00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:50.987
  • The garden of god. now this is another indication
  • 00:03:51.054 --> 00:03:52.322
  • Now this is another indication that this isn't talking about
  • 00:03:52.388 --> 00:03:53.589
  • A physical man, because eden,
  • 00:03:53.656 --> 00:03:56.092
  • A physical man, because eden, the garden of eden
  • 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.260
  • The garden of eden as described in
  • 00:03:57.327 --> 00:03:58.027
  • As described in genesis, chapter 2,
  • 00:03:58.094 --> 00:03:59.128
  • Genesis, chapter 2, and chapter 3,
  • 00:03:59.195 --> 00:04:01.130
  • And chapter 3, when god kicked adam and eve
  • 00:04:01.197 --> 00:04:03.032
  • When god kicked adam and eve out of eden,
  • 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:03.700
  • Out of eden, he placed a cherub there
  • 00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:05.568
  • He placed a cherub there with a flaming sword
  • 00:04:05.635 --> 00:04:06.803
  • With a flaming sword that turned every way,
  • 00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:08.037
  • That turned every way, to protect the tree of life,
  • 00:04:08.104 --> 00:04:09.772
  • To protect the tree of life, so that nobody would eat of it.
  • 00:04:09.839 --> 00:04:11.674
  • So that nobody would eat of it. and so no one
  • 00:04:11.741 --> 00:04:12.709
  • And so no one has ever been allowed back into
  • 00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:15.078
  • Has ever been allowed back into the garden of eden.
  • 00:04:15.144 --> 00:04:16.145
  • The garden of eden. and i don't know actually
  • 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:17.914
  • And i don't know actually what happened to
  • 00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:18.581
  • What happened to the garden of eden,
  • 00:04:18.648 --> 00:04:19.315
  • The garden of eden, whether it became some of
  • 00:04:19.382 --> 00:04:20.683
  • Whether it became some of those deserts over there
  • 00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:22.418
  • Those deserts over there in the middle east.
  • 00:04:22.485 --> 00:04:23.152
  • In the middle east. or you know,
  • 00:04:23.219 --> 00:04:23.886
  • Or you know, in the book of revelation,
  • 00:04:23.953 --> 00:04:25.021
  • In the book of revelation, it says that the tree of life
  • 00:04:25.088 --> 00:04:27.123
  • It says that the tree of life is in the new jerusalem,
  • 00:04:27.190 --> 00:04:29.158
  • Is in the new jerusalem, in the middle of this river
  • 00:04:29.225 --> 00:04:31.561
  • In the middle of this river that runs by it
  • 00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:32.528
  • That runs by it and it's for the healing of
  • 00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:33.396
  • And it's for the healing of the nations.
  • 00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:34.530
  • The nations. and so, either god created
  • 00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:36.199
  • And so, either god created another tree of life,
  • 00:04:36.265 --> 00:04:37.367
  • Another tree of life, or he transported
  • 00:04:37.433 --> 00:04:38.501
  • Or he transported that one to heaven.
  • 00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:40.002
  • That one to heaven. it's possible
  • 00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:40.636
  • It's possible that the garden of eden
  • 00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:41.804
  • That the garden of eden has been translated
  • 00:04:41.871 --> 00:04:42.739
  • Has been translated or at the very least,
  • 00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:43.673
  • Or at the very least, we can't find it today.
  • 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:45.775
  • We can't find it today. my point is,
  • 00:04:45.842 --> 00:04:46.843
  • My point is, for this person or this being
  • 00:04:46.909 --> 00:04:49.712
  • For this person or this being to have been
  • 00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:50.313
  • To have been in the garden of eden,
  • 00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:52.215
  • In the garden of eden, this is describing
  • 00:04:52.281 --> 00:04:53.216
  • This is describing before the fall of adam and eve.
  • 00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:55.451
  • Before the fall of adam and eve. so this isn't talking about
  • 00:04:55.518 --> 00:04:56.519
  • So this isn't talking about the physical man,
  • 00:04:56.586 --> 00:04:57.420
  • The physical man, the king of tyrus.
  • 00:04:57.487 --> 00:04:58.254
  • The king of tyrus. it's talking about
  • 00:04:58.321 --> 00:04:58.821
  • It's talking about the demonic power
  • 00:04:58.888 --> 00:05:00.189
  • The demonic power that operated behind him,
  • 00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:02.091
  • That operated behind him, and it describes him
  • 00:05:02.158 --> 00:05:03.359
  • And it describes him in the garden of eden.
  • 00:05:03.426 --> 00:05:04.394
  • In verse 13, it says,
  • 00:05:04.460 --> 00:05:05.328
  • In verse 13, it says, thou hast been in eden
  • 00:05:05.395 --> 00:05:07.096
  • Thou hast been in eden the garden of god;
  • 00:05:07.163 --> 00:05:08.331
  • The garden of god; every precious stone
  • 00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:10.366
  • Every precious stone was thy covering,
  • 00:05:10.433 --> 00:05:12.101
  • Was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz,
  • 00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:13.936
  • The sardius, the topaz, the diamond, the beryl,
  • 00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:15.405
  • The diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper,
  • 00:05:15.471 --> 00:05:16.973
  • The onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald,
  • 00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.241
  • The sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
  • 00:05:18.307 --> 00:05:20.843
  • And the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of
  • 00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:21.644
  • The workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes
  • 00:05:21.711 --> 00:05:23.880
  • Thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
  • 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:26.516
  • Was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
  • 00:05:26.582 --> 00:05:28.217
  • Again, the wording here,
  • 00:05:28.284 --> 00:05:30.086
  • Again, the wording here, we could spend a lot of time
  • 00:05:30.153 --> 00:05:31.454
  • We could spend a lot of time on this, but it's talking about
  • 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:32.922
  • On this, but it's talking about him being adorned
  • 00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.157
  • Him being adorned in a beautiful way,
  • 00:05:34.223 --> 00:05:35.358
  • In a beautiful way, diamond, beryl, onyx,
  • 00:05:35.425 --> 00:05:37.660
  • Diamond, beryl, onyx, all of these precious stones.
  • 00:05:37.727 --> 00:05:39.395
  • All of these precious stones. and then it talks about
  • 00:05:39.462 --> 00:05:40.263
  • And then it talks about his pipes and his tabrets
  • 00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:42.632
  • His pipes and his tabrets were in him.
  • 00:05:42.698 --> 00:05:44.267
  • Were in him. this has led some commentators
  • 00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:46.035
  • This has led some commentators to believe that lucifer
  • 00:05:46.102 --> 00:05:48.738
  • To believe that lucifer was actually a musical angel,
  • 00:05:48.805 --> 00:05:51.874
  • Was actually a musical angel, maybe the leader of
  • 00:05:51.941 --> 00:05:53.342
  • Maybe the leader of all of the worship in heaven.
  • 00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:55.478
  • All of the worship in heaven. and he literally,
  • 00:05:55.545 --> 00:05:56.746
  • And he literally, his body was like
  • 00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:57.814
  • His body was like a musical instrument.
  • 00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:58.981
  • A musical instrument. he could make sounds
  • 00:05:59.048 --> 00:06:00.082
  • He could make sounds and beautiful sounds and stuff.
  • 00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:02.351
  • And beautiful sounds and stuff. so this is describing him
  • 00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:03.653
  • So this is describing him in the garden of eden
  • 00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:04.754
  • In the garden of eden still in a perfect state,
  • 00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:06.389
  • Still in a perfect state, not as a demonic power.
  • 00:06:06.456 --> 00:06:08.357
  • Not as a demonic power. over in isaiah, chapter 14,
  • 00:06:08.424 --> 00:06:10.860
  • Over in isaiah, chapter 14, it talks about that...
  • 00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:11.961
  • It talks about that... lucifer there, and it uses
  • 00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:13.529
  • Lucifer there, and it uses that term lucifer
  • 00:06:13.596 --> 00:06:14.764
  • That term lucifer to describe him
  • 00:06:14.831 --> 00:06:16.299
  • To describe him in isaiah, chapter 14.
  • 00:06:16.365 --> 00:06:18.634
  • In isaiah, chapter 14. and it says,
  • 00:06:18.701 --> 00:06:19.135
  • And it says, when we see him, we will say,
  • 00:06:19.202 --> 00:06:20.703
  • When we see him, we will say, is this the one
  • 00:06:20.770 --> 00:06:23.172
  • Is this the one that weakened the nations,
  • 00:06:23.239 --> 00:06:24.740
  • That weakened the nations, that destroyed people's lives?
  • 00:06:24.807 --> 00:06:26.442
  • That destroyed people's lives? we're going to look at him
  • 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:27.543
  • We're going to look at him and look at this ugly,
  • 00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:29.545
  • And look at this ugly, detestable thing and think,
  • 00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:31.681
  • Detestable thing and think, is this the one
  • 00:06:31.747 --> 00:06:32.748
  • Is this the one that ruined my life?
  • 00:06:32.815 --> 00:06:34.517
  • That ruined my life? but see here,
  • 00:06:34.584 --> 00:06:35.151
  • But see here, it is describing him in beauty
  • 00:06:35.218 --> 00:06:38.120
  • It is describing him in beauty and musical instruments
  • 00:06:38.187 --> 00:06:39.956
  • And musical instruments and all of these things.
  • 00:06:40.022 --> 00:06:41.224
  • In verse 14, it says,
  • 00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:43.125
  • In verse 14, it says, thou art the anointed cherub
  • 00:06:43.192 --> 00:06:45.261
  • Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth;
  • 00:06:45.328 --> 00:06:45.995
  • That covereth; and i have set thee so:
  • 00:06:46.062 --> 00:06:47.096
  • And i have set thee so: thou wast upon
  • 00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:47.897
  • Thou wast upon the holy mountain of god;
  • 00:06:47.964 --> 00:06:49.499
  • The holy mountain of god; thou didst walk up and down
  • 00:06:49.565 --> 00:06:51.734
  • Thou didst walk up and down in the midst of
  • 00:06:51.801 --> 00:06:52.435
  • In the midst of the stones of fire.
  • 00:06:52.502 --> 00:06:53.636
  • The stones of fire. thou wast perfect in thy ways
  • 00:06:53.703 --> 00:06:56.038
  • Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day
  • 00:06:56.105 --> 00:06:56.572
  • From the day that thou wast created,
  • 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:57.874
  • That thou wast created, until iniquity
  • 00:06:57.940 --> 00:06:59.375
  • Until iniquity was found in thee.
  • 00:06:59.442 --> 00:07:00.376
  • And it goes on and says
  • 00:07:00.443 --> 00:07:01.344
  • And it goes on and says a lot of other things.
  • 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:02.478
  • A lot of other things. the reason i brought that up
  • 00:07:02.545 --> 00:07:03.479
  • The reason i brought that up is to say this is talking about
  • 00:07:03.546 --> 00:07:05.181
  • Is to say this is talking about satan, that demonic power.
  • 00:07:05.248 --> 00:07:07.583
  • Satan, that demonic power. if i had more time,
  • 00:07:07.650 --> 00:07:08.284
  • If i had more time, i believe i could
  • 00:07:08.351 --> 00:07:08.985
  • I believe i could establish that beyond a doubt.
  • 00:07:09.051 --> 00:07:12.522
  • Establish that beyond a doubt. and it's describing him
  • 00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:14.557
  • And it's describing him in the garden of eden.
  • 00:07:14.624 --> 00:07:16.125
  • In the garden of eden. some people have a theory
  • 00:07:16.192 --> 00:07:17.894
  • Some people have a theory that there was
  • 00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:18.394
  • That there was a pre-adamic civilization
  • 00:07:18.461 --> 00:07:21.264
  • A pre-adamic civilization and that when it says
  • 00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:23.132
  • And that when it says in genesis 1, that god created
  • 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.034
  • In genesis 1, that god created the heavens and the earth,
  • 00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:26.502
  • The heavens and the earth, that that was in the billions,
  • 00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:28.771
  • That that was in the billions, millions of years ago,
  • 00:07:28.838 --> 00:07:30.640
  • Millions of years ago, and then genesis 1:2,
  • 00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:32.275
  • And then genesis 1:2, and the earth was without form,
  • 00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:33.910
  • And the earth was without form, they will say
  • 00:07:33.976 --> 00:07:34.443
  • They will say that the earth became void
  • 00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:37.213
  • That the earth became void and without form, and that
  • 00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:39.348
  • And without form, and that that is a reflection of
  • 00:07:39.415 --> 00:07:40.783
  • That is a reflection of that this created being,
  • 00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:43.286
  • That this created being, lucifer, was over
  • 00:07:43.352 --> 00:07:44.654
  • Lucifer, was over this pre-adamic civilization,
  • 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.889
  • This pre-adamic civilization, and he led them into sin
  • 00:07:46.956 --> 00:07:48.891
  • And he led them into sin and god judged them
  • 00:07:48.958 --> 00:07:50.092
  • And god judged them and destroyed it
  • 00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:50.793
  • And destroyed it and wiped out the earth
  • 00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.295
  • And wiped out the earth and made it void.
  • 00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:53.362
  • And made it void. and then genesis 1:3
  • 00:07:53.429 --> 00:07:55.565
  • And then genesis 1:3 begins the re-creation
  • 00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:58.167
  • Begins the re-creation of the earth.
  • 00:07:58.234 --> 00:07:59.302
  • Of the earth. anyway, i haven't got time
  • 00:07:59.368 --> 00:08:00.202
  • Anyway, i haven't got time to go into all of that.
  • 00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:02.305
  • To go into all of that. but i don't believe that.
  • 00:08:02.371 --> 00:08:03.940
  • But i don't believe that. there's a number of reasons
  • 00:08:04.006 --> 00:08:04.807
  • There's a number of reasons i don't believe it.
  • 00:08:04.874 --> 00:08:05.808
  • I don't believe it. you can believe it.
  • 00:08:05.875 --> 00:08:07.944
  • You can believe it. just give me some grace,
  • 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:09.145
  • Just give me some grace, but i'm tell...
  • 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:09.745
  • But i'm tell... i don't believe that's what
  • 00:08:09.812 --> 00:08:10.580
  • I don't believe that's what the scripture teaches.
  • 00:08:10.646 --> 00:08:12.848
  • The scripture teaches. but here's my point,
  • 00:08:12.915 --> 00:08:14.283
  • But here's my point, the people who believe that,
  • 00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:16.252
  • The people who believe that, they will take
  • 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:16.852
  • They will take an obscure scripture
  • 00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:18.220
  • An obscure scripture over in revelation, chapter 12,
  • 00:08:18.287 --> 00:08:20.957
  • Over in revelation, chapter 12, where it talks about a dragon
  • 00:08:21.023 --> 00:08:22.725
  • Where it talks about a dragon that gets cast out of heaven
  • 00:08:22.792 --> 00:08:24.527
  • That gets cast out of heaven and this dragon with a...
  • 00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:25.728
  • And this dragon with a... with his tail brings one third
  • 00:08:25.795 --> 00:08:27.730
  • With his tail brings one third of the stars and cast them to
  • 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:30.232
  • Of the stars and cast them to the earth, and so they say that
  • 00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:32.668
  • The earth, and so they say that that's satan.
  • 00:08:32.735 --> 00:08:34.070
  • That's satan. and it does say in
  • 00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:34.804
  • And it does say in revelation, chapter 12, that
  • 00:08:34.870 --> 00:08:36.172
  • Revelation, chapter 12, that that old dragon is satan,
  • 00:08:36.238 --> 00:08:38.007
  • That old dragon is satan, so that is true.
  • 00:08:38.074 --> 00:08:39.508
  • So that is true. it's symbolic, but it defines
  • 00:08:39.575 --> 00:08:41.043
  • It's symbolic, but it defines that symbolism and says
  • 00:08:41.110 --> 00:08:42.545
  • That symbolism and says that the dragon is satan.
  • 00:08:42.612 --> 00:08:44.413
  • That the dragon is satan. but it doesn't say
  • 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.081
  • But it doesn't say what the stars are.
  • 00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:45.915
  • What the stars are. people just assume that
  • 00:08:45.982 --> 00:08:47.984
  • People just assume that that's satan taking one third of
  • 00:08:48.050 --> 00:08:49.785
  • That's satan taking one third of the angels that god had created
  • 00:08:49.852 --> 00:08:53.022
  • The angels that god had created and that they rebelled
  • 00:08:53.089 --> 00:08:53.889
  • And that they rebelled against god.
  • 00:08:53.956 --> 00:08:56.559
  • Against god. well first of all,
  • 00:08:56.626 --> 00:08:57.159
  • Well first of all, that's not good
  • 00:08:57.226 --> 00:08:58.027
  • That's not good bible interpretation
  • 00:08:58.094 --> 00:08:59.095
  • Bible interpretation to take something
  • 00:08:59.161 --> 00:08:59.829
  • To take something that is definitely symbolism,
  • 00:08:59.895 --> 00:09:02.698
  • That is definitely symbolism, and it does say
  • 00:09:02.765 --> 00:09:03.299
  • And it does say that satan was the dragon,
  • 00:09:03.366 --> 00:09:05.368
  • That satan was the dragon, so it explains that symbolism,
  • 00:09:05.434 --> 00:09:06.902
  • So it explains that symbolism, but it didn't explain
  • 00:09:06.969 --> 00:09:08.104
  • But it didn't explain the stars that were thrown
  • 00:09:08.170 --> 00:09:09.338
  • The stars that were thrown to the earth.
  • 00:09:09.405 --> 00:09:10.439
  • To the earth. it's not good
  • 00:09:10.506 --> 00:09:11.340
  • It's not good bible interpretation
  • 00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:12.408
  • Bible interpretation to take symbolism
  • 00:09:12.475 --> 00:09:14.276
  • To take symbolism that isn't used anywhere else
  • 00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:15.978
  • That isn't used anywhere else in scripture.
  • 00:09:16.045 --> 00:09:16.612
  • In scripture. this is the only time
  • 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.513
  • This is the only time in scripture that it says
  • 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:18.681
  • In scripture that it says anything about satan having
  • 00:09:18.748 --> 00:09:19.949
  • Anything about satan having one third of anything.
  • 00:09:20.016 --> 00:09:22.385
  • One third of anything. and people make a doctrine
  • 00:09:22.451 --> 00:09:23.686
  • And people make a doctrine out of that.
  • 00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:24.954
  • Out of that. you...the scripture says
  • 00:09:25.021 --> 00:09:26.055
  • You...the scripture says in deuteronomy, chapter 19,
  • 00:09:26.122 --> 00:09:27.723
  • In deuteronomy, chapter 19, jesus quoted this.
  • 00:09:27.790 --> 00:09:28.824
  • Jesus quoted this. paul quoted it twice
  • 00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.426
  • From deuteronomy 19,
  • 00:09:30.493 --> 00:09:31.594
  • From deuteronomy 19, that in the mouth of
  • 00:09:31.661 --> 00:09:32.361
  • That in the mouth of two or three witnesses
  • 00:09:32.428 --> 00:09:34.630
  • Two or three witnesses everything should
  • 00:09:34.697 --> 00:09:35.464
  • Everything should be established.
  • 00:09:35.531 --> 00:09:36.599
  • You don't take one
  • 00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:37.933
  • You don't take one passage of scripture and base
  • 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.236
  • Passage of scripture and base a major doctrine on that.
  • 00:09:40.302 --> 00:09:42.104
  • A major doctrine on that. you need multiple witnesses.
  • 00:09:42.171 --> 00:09:44.040
  • You need multiple witnesses. the word will confirm it
  • 00:09:44.106 --> 00:09:45.841
  • The word will confirm it and you have to
  • 00:09:45.908 --> 00:09:46.409
  • And you have to interpret scripture
  • 00:09:46.475 --> 00:09:47.276
  • Interpret scripture by scripture.
  • 00:09:47.343 --> 00:09:48.377
  • By scripture. so anyway, my point is,
  • 00:09:48.444 --> 00:09:50.613
  • So anyway, my point is, i'm not sure that
  • 00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:51.280
  • I'm not sure that that literally is saying
  • 00:09:51.347 --> 00:09:52.682
  • That literally is saying that satan took one third
  • 00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:53.783
  • That satan took one third of the angels.
  • 00:09:53.849 --> 00:09:54.450
  • Of the angels. it's possible that
  • 00:09:54.517 --> 00:09:55.885
  • It's possible that that's what it means.
  • 00:09:55.951 --> 00:09:57.053
  • That's what it means. i'll grant you that.
  • 00:09:57.119 --> 00:09:58.487
  • I'll grant you that. but i'm not going to say it
  • 00:09:58.554 --> 00:09:59.955
  • But i'm not going to say it because it's not good
  • 00:10:00.022 --> 00:10:00.790
  • Because it's not good bible interpretation.
  • 00:10:00.856 --> 00:10:02.491
  • Bible interpretation. but even if you believed
  • 00:10:02.558 --> 00:10:04.393
  • But even if you believed that satan took one third of
  • 00:10:04.460 --> 00:10:05.828
  • That satan took one third of the angels and rebelled at god,
  • 00:10:05.895 --> 00:10:09.565
  • The angels and rebelled at god, that does...
  • 00:10:09.632 --> 00:10:09.965
  • That does... that's not good odds.
  • 00:10:10.032 --> 00:10:12.101
  • That's not good odds. i...i believe the devil is
  • 00:10:12.168 --> 00:10:14.570
  • I...i believe the devil is stupid for fighting against god,
  • 00:10:14.637 --> 00:10:17.173
  • Stupid for fighting against god, but he's not ignorant.
  • 00:10:17.239 --> 00:10:19.508
  • But he's not ignorant. you know, if i was the devil
  • 00:10:19.575 --> 00:10:20.576
  • You know, if i was the devil and i was going to
  • 00:10:20.643 --> 00:10:21.143
  • And i was going to fight against god,
  • 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:22.645
  • Fight against god, i wouldn't have
  • 00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:23.112
  • I wouldn't have fought against him if i had
  • 00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:24.146
  • Fought against him if i had had 100% of the angels
  • 00:10:24.213 --> 00:10:25.781
  • Had 100% of the angels because god is the creator
  • 00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:26.849
  • Because god is the creator and he could have
  • 00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:27.550
  • And he could have wiped them all out.
  • 00:10:27.616 --> 00:10:29.085
  • Wiped them all out. i wouldn't have done that.
  • 00:10:29.151 --> 00:10:30.219
  • I wouldn't have done that. but certainly if i only had
  • 00:10:30.286 --> 00:10:31.587
  • But certainly if i only had one third of the angels,
  • 00:10:31.654 --> 00:10:32.855
  • One third of the angels, i wouldn't rebel against god.
  • 00:10:32.922 --> 00:10:34.924
  • I wouldn't rebel against god. how did satan rebel at god?
  • 00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:37.560
  • The scripture makes
  • 00:10:37.626 --> 00:10:38.060
  • The scripture makes it very clear.
  • 00:10:38.127 --> 00:10:38.828
  • It very clear. jesus said, i saw satan
  • 00:10:38.894 --> 00:10:40.596
  • Jesus said, i saw satan as lightning fall from heaven.
  • 00:10:40.663 --> 00:10:42.465
  • Jesus talked about
  • 00:10:42.531 --> 00:10:43.432
  • Jesus talked about the devil came and tempted him
  • 00:10:43.499 --> 00:10:45.601
  • The devil came and tempted him on the mount of temptation.
  • 00:10:45.668 --> 00:10:47.269
  • On the mount of temptation. there was a real being.
  • 00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:49.171
  • There was a real being. satan is not just a concept,
  • 00:10:49.238 --> 00:10:50.973
  • Satan is not just a concept, or a force,
  • 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:51.907
  • Or a force, or a personification of evil.
  • 00:10:51.974 --> 00:10:54.143
  • Or a personification of evil. he is a being.
  • 00:10:54.210 --> 00:10:56.112
  • He is a being. he was created by god.
  • 00:10:56.178 --> 00:10:59.215
  • He was created by god. but god created lucifer.
  • 00:10:59.281 --> 00:11:01.450
  • But god created lucifer. isaiah, chapter 14, talks about
  • 00:11:01.517 --> 00:11:03.419
  • Isaiah, chapter 14, talks about that...the son of the morning,
  • 00:11:03.486 --> 00:11:05.988
  • That...the son of the morning, and it tells you
  • 00:11:06.055 --> 00:11:06.889
  • And it tells you what his transgression was.
  • 00:11:06.956 --> 00:11:08.824
  • What his transgression was. he didn't hate god in the sense
  • 00:11:08.891 --> 00:11:10.426
  • He didn't hate god in the sense that he didn't like him.
  • 00:11:10.493 --> 00:11:11.594
  • That he didn't like him. he was envious of god.
  • 00:11:11.660 --> 00:11:12.828
  • He was envious of god. he said, i will be like
  • 00:11:12.895 --> 00:11:14.096
  • He said, i will be like the most high god.
  • 00:11:14.163 --> 00:11:15.064
  • The most high god. i will exalt my throne
  • 00:11:15.131 --> 00:11:16.432
  • I will exalt my throne above the stars of the north.
  • 00:11:16.499 --> 00:11:18.601
  • Above the stars of the north. i will sit on
  • 00:11:18.667 --> 00:11:19.101
  • I will sit on the sides of the north.
  • 00:11:19.168 --> 00:11:20.269
  • The sides of the north. i will be like god.
  • 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:22.271
  • I will be like god. satan's transgression was envy
  • 00:11:22.338 --> 00:11:24.807
  • Satan's transgression was envy and jealousy,
  • 00:11:24.874 --> 00:11:25.474
  • And jealousy, not hatred and rejection.
  • 00:11:25.541 --> 00:11:28.410
  • Not hatred and rejection. and so, how did he
  • 00:11:28.477 --> 00:11:30.079
  • And so, how did he rebel at god?
  • 00:11:30.146 --> 00:11:31.280
  • Rebel at god? right here in the garden of eden
  • 00:11:31.347 --> 00:11:33.215
  • Right here in the garden of eden i believe is where
  • 00:11:33.282 --> 00:11:33.816
  • I believe is where this rebellion took place.
  • 00:11:33.883 --> 00:11:35.251
  • This rebellion took place. and here's the logic
  • 00:11:35.317 --> 00:11:36.285
  • And here's the logic behind this.
  • 00:11:36.352 --> 00:11:38.120
  • Behind this. imagine that you were going to
  • 00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:38.954
  • Imagine that you were going to go in and rob a bank,
  • 00:11:39.021 --> 00:11:41.056
  • Go in and rob a bank, and the bank's got
  • 00:11:41.123 --> 00:11:41.690
  • And the bank's got security guards
  • 00:11:41.757 --> 00:11:42.958
  • Security guards and they've got weapons.
  • 00:11:43.025 --> 00:11:43.926
  • And they've got weapons. they got automatic weapons,
  • 00:11:43.993 --> 00:11:45.995
  • They got automatic weapons, and maybe all you have
  • 00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:46.829
  • And maybe all you have is a knife.
  • 00:11:46.896 --> 00:11:48.531
  • Is a knife. you don't have anything, really.
  • 00:11:48.597 --> 00:11:50.132
  • You don't have anything, really. how are you going to
  • 00:11:50.199 --> 00:11:50.733
  • How are you going to overpower these people?
  • 00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:52.835
  • Overpower these people? you go in
  • 00:11:52.902 --> 00:11:53.736
  • You go in and you take a hostage,
  • 00:11:53.803 --> 00:11:55.638
  • And you take a hostage, and you take this hostage
  • 00:11:55.704 --> 00:11:56.906
  • And you take this hostage and put this knife
  • 00:11:56.972 --> 00:11:57.606
  • And put this knife to their throat and say,
  • 00:11:57.673 --> 00:11:58.507
  • To their throat and say, if you shoot at me,
  • 00:11:58.574 --> 00:11:59.909
  • If you shoot at me, if you do anything to me,
  • 00:11:59.975 --> 00:12:01.010
  • If you do anything to me, i'm going to kill this hostage.
  • 00:12:01.076 --> 00:12:02.678
  • I'm going to kill this hostage. and even though
  • 00:12:02.745 --> 00:12:03.445
  • And even though the bank security
  • 00:12:03.512 --> 00:12:04.480
  • The bank security has by far superior...
  • 00:12:04.547 --> 00:12:07.216
  • Has by far superior... ss...force and they could
  • 00:12:07.283 --> 00:12:09.652
  • Ss...force and they could stop you; they won't stop you.
  • 00:12:09.718 --> 00:12:12.188
  • Stop you; they won't stop you. they won't kill you
  • 00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.088
  • They won't kill you because they don't want to
  • 00:12:13.155 --> 00:12:14.156
  • Because they don't want to harm the hostage.
  • 00:12:14.223 --> 00:12:17.059
  • Harm the hostage. i believe that satan could not
  • 00:12:17.126 --> 00:12:19.061
  • I believe that satan could not make a frontal assault on god
  • 00:12:19.128 --> 00:12:21.497
  • Make a frontal assault on god and just overcome him
  • 00:12:21.564 --> 00:12:22.631
  • And just overcome him even if he had had 100%
  • 00:12:22.698 --> 00:12:24.400
  • Even if he had had 100% of the angels.
  • 00:12:24.466 --> 00:12:25.534
  • Of the angels. what he had to do
  • 00:12:25.601 --> 00:12:26.735
  • What he had to do was find some way
  • 00:12:26.802 --> 00:12:29.238
  • Was find some way to shield himself
  • 00:12:29.305 --> 00:12:31.173
  • To shield himself from god's wrath.
  • 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.708
  • From god's wrath. and he saw that god
  • 00:12:32.775 --> 00:12:34.410
  • And he saw that god loved mankind so much.
  • 00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:37.446
  • It says in revelation 4,
  • 00:12:37.513 --> 00:12:39.548
  • It says in revelation 4, for his pleasure
  • 00:12:39.615 --> 00:12:40.516
  • For his pleasure we are and were created.
  • 00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:42.818
  • We are and were created.
  • 00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:43.352
  • God created
  • 00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:43.819
  • God created this entire universe,
  • 00:12:43.886 --> 00:12:44.987
  • This entire universe, but specifically mankind,
  • 00:12:45.054 --> 00:12:46.889
  • But specifically mankind, he created us for fellowship.
  • 00:12:46.956 --> 00:12:50.759
  • He created us for fellowship. he created us for his pleasure.
  • 00:12:50.826 --> 00:12:53.662
  • He created us for his pleasure. he gets pleasure out of us.
  • 00:12:53.729 --> 00:12:55.898
  • He gets pleasure out of us. he wanted to have
  • 00:12:55.965 --> 00:12:56.565
  • He wanted to have relationship with us.
  • 00:12:56.632 --> 00:12:57.833
  • Relationship with us. god loved adam and eve,
  • 00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:00.669
  • God loved adam and eve, and satan saw that his love
  • 00:13:00.736 --> 00:13:02.605
  • And satan saw that his love for adam and eve was so great
  • 00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:04.640
  • For adam and eve was so great that if he could get
  • 00:13:04.707 --> 00:13:05.374
  • That if he could get adam and eve
  • 00:13:05.441 --> 00:13:06.609
  • Adam and eve to willfully submit to him,
  • 00:13:06.675 --> 00:13:10.346
  • To willfully submit to him, then that scripture
  • 00:13:10.412 --> 00:13:10.913
  • Then that scripture i used earlier,
  • 00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.881
  • Romans 6:16, know ye not,
  • 00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:14.216
  • Romans 6:16, know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
  • 00:13:14.283 --> 00:13:16.118
  • That to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants
  • 00:13:16.185 --> 00:13:17.353
  • Servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
  • 00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:18.854
  • Ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death,
  • 00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:20.689
  • Whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
  • 00:13:20.756 --> 00:13:21.257
  • Or of obedience unto righteousness?
  • 00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:22.791
  • Unto righteousness? if he could get
  • 00:13:22.858 --> 00:13:23.492
  • Adam and eve to yield to him
  • 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.895
  • Adam and eve to yield to him and submit to him,
  • 00:13:25.961 --> 00:13:27.529
  • And submit to him, they gave him his power
  • 00:13:27.596 --> 00:13:29.999
  • They gave him his power and authority.
  • 00:13:30.065 --> 00:13:30.766
  • And authority. and for god to come down
  • 00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:32.635
  • And for god to come down and judge satan,
  • 00:13:32.701 --> 00:13:34.970
  • And judge satan, he would've had to have
  • 00:13:35.037 --> 00:13:35.838
  • He would've had to have destroyed man, too,
  • 00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:37.006
  • Destroyed man, too, because they, in a sense,
  • 00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:38.274
  • Because they, in a sense, were joint in this rebellion.
  • 00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:41.010
  • Were joint in this rebellion. mankind willfully participated.
  • 00:13:41.076 --> 00:13:43.679
  • Mankind willfully participated. man became a hostage.
  • 00:13:43.746 --> 00:13:45.581
  • Man became a hostage. and so in that sense,
  • 00:13:45.648 --> 00:13:46.649
  • And so in that sense, satan was able to use mankind
  • 00:13:46.715 --> 00:13:49.618
  • Satan was able to use mankind as a shield.
  • 00:13:49.685 --> 00:13:50.319
  • As a shield. god, they willfully
  • 00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:51.687
  • God, they willfully submitted to me.
  • 00:13:51.754 --> 00:13:52.588
  • Submitted to me. for you to do anything to me,
  • 00:13:52.655 --> 00:13:53.923
  • For you to do anything to me, you've got to punish them, too.
  • 00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:57.693
  • You've got to punish them, too. and i believe that satan
  • 00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.995
  • And i believe that satan might have come under
  • 00:14:00.062 --> 00:14:01.597
  • Might have come under god's judgment if it had just
  • 00:14:01.664 --> 00:14:03.165
  • God's judgment if it had just been him.
  • 00:14:03.232 --> 00:14:04.500
  • Been him. but because of god's great love
  • 00:14:04.566 --> 00:14:06.335
  • But because of god's great love for us, and man, i could use
  • 00:14:06.402 --> 00:14:08.304
  • For us, and man, i could use so many scriptures.
  • 00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:09.305
  • So many scriptures. a real popular one,
  • 00:14:09.371 --> 00:14:10.239
  • God so loved the world,
  • 00:14:10.306 --> 00:14:12.107
  • God so loved the world, that he gave his only
  • 00:14:12.174 --> 00:14:13.008
  • That he gave his only begotten son, john 3:16.
  • 00:14:13.075 --> 00:14:15.878
  • Because of god's great love
  • 00:14:15.945 --> 00:14:17.413
  • Because of god's great love for us, the hostage,
  • 00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:20.316
  • For us, the hostage, he wouldn't just wipe out satan
  • 00:14:20.382 --> 00:14:22.751
  • He wouldn't just wipe out satan and eradicate this evil
  • 00:14:22.818 --> 00:14:24.720
  • And eradicate this evil that happened.
  • 00:14:24.787 --> 00:14:26.288
  • That happened. but he was limited, too,
  • 00:14:26.355 --> 00:14:27.790
  • But he was limited, too, because we had
  • 00:14:27.856 --> 00:14:28.991
  • Because we had willfully submitted.
  • 00:14:29.058 --> 00:14:30.993
  • Willfully submitted. our great, great, great,
  • 00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:32.795
  • Our great, great, great, whatever grandfather and mother
  • 00:14:32.861 --> 00:14:35.264
  • Whatever grandfather and mother willfully submitted to satan
  • 00:14:35.331 --> 00:14:36.966
  • Willfully submitted to satan and they're the ones
  • 00:14:37.032 --> 00:14:37.967
  • And they're the ones that made satan.
  • 00:14:38.033 --> 00:14:38.901
  • That made satan. god created lucifer
  • 00:14:38.968 --> 00:14:40.369
  • God created lucifer a godly angel.
  • 00:14:40.436 --> 00:14:41.804
  • A godly angel. when s...lucifer rebelled,
  • 00:14:41.870 --> 00:14:44.106
  • When s...lucifer rebelled, we gave him
  • 00:14:44.173 --> 00:14:45.541
  • We gave him the authority and power.
  • 00:14:45.607 --> 00:14:46.942
  • The authority and power. we created satan,
  • 00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:48.844
  • We created satan, and he can't do anything
  • 00:14:48.911 --> 00:14:50.746
  • And he can't do anything without us
  • 00:14:50.813 --> 00:14:51.647
  • Without us as a physical human being
  • 00:14:51.714 --> 00:14:53.048
  • As a physical human being and cooperate.
  • 00:14:53.115 --> 00:14:54.149
  • And cooperate. now this explains
  • 00:14:54.216 --> 00:14:55.884
  • Now this explains why it took 4,000 years
  • 00:14:55.951 --> 00:14:59.221
  • Why it took 4,000 years for god to come into this earth,
  • 00:14:59.288 --> 00:15:00.756
  • For god to come into this earth, because the original adam
  • 00:15:00.823 --> 00:15:02.825
  • Because the original adam was created by words.
  • 00:15:02.891 --> 00:15:04.393
  • Was created by words. he spoke him into existence.
  • 00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:06.762
  • He spoke him into existence. the second adam,
  • 00:15:06.829 --> 00:15:07.796
  • The second adam, that's a terminology
  • 00:15:07.863 --> 00:15:08.697
  • That's a terminology that's applied to jesus in
  • 00:15:08.764 --> 00:15:10.132
  • That's applied to jesus in 1 corinthians, chapter 15,
  • 00:15:10.199 --> 00:15:12.568
  • 1 corinthians, chapter 15, the second adam was jesus.
  • 00:15:12.634 --> 00:15:15.637
  • The second adam was jesus. he likewise had to be
  • 00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:16.972
  • He likewise had to be spoken into existence.
  • 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.274
  • Spoken into existence. but when god created
  • 00:15:19.341 --> 00:15:20.142
  • But when god created the heavens and the earth,
  • 00:15:20.209 --> 00:15:21.043
  • The heavens and the earth, there was no resistance.
  • 00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:22.411
  • There was no resistance. there wasn't a satan
  • 00:15:22.478 --> 00:15:23.379
  • There wasn't a satan at that time.
  • 00:15:23.445 --> 00:15:24.747
  • At that time. there was no conflict of
  • 00:15:24.813 --> 00:15:27.349
  • There was no conflict of any kind.
  • 00:15:27.416 --> 00:15:28.050
  • Any kind. he was in absolute control.
  • 00:15:28.117 --> 00:15:29.752
  • He was in absolute control. he hadn't delegated any control
  • 00:15:29.818 --> 00:15:31.754
  • He hadn't delegated any control or authority to mankind
  • 00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:33.255
  • Or authority to mankind at that time,
  • 00:15:33.322 --> 00:15:34.390
  • At that time, but now he had given the earth
  • 00:15:34.456 --> 00:15:37.593
  • But now he had given the earth to mankind,
  • 00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:38.660
  • Psalms 115, verse 16,
  • 00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:41.130
  • Psalms 115, verse 16, the heavens,
  • 00:15:41.196 --> 00:15:41.730
  • The heavens, even the heavens
  • 00:15:41.797 --> 00:15:42.431
  • Even the heavens are the lord's:
  • 00:15:42.498 --> 00:15:43.198
  • Are the lord's: but the earth hath he given
  • 00:15:43.265 --> 00:15:44.400
  • But the earth hath he given to the sons of men.
  • 00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:45.901
  • God gave dominion, control,
  • 00:15:45.968 --> 00:15:48.270
  • God gave dominion, control, authority over this earth to us.
  • 00:15:48.337 --> 00:15:50.339
  • Authority over this earth to us. and when we turned around
  • 00:15:50.406 --> 00:15:51.407
  • And when we turned around and gave it to satan,
  • 00:15:51.473 --> 00:15:53.809
  • And gave it to satan, then we empowered satan,
  • 00:15:53.876 --> 00:15:55.911
  • Then we empowered satan, and god was no longer
  • 00:15:55.978 --> 00:15:58.881
  • And god was no longer in absolute control
  • 00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:00.749
  • In absolute control of the earth.
  • 00:16:00.816 --> 00:16:01.683
  • Of the earth. he had delegated
  • 00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:02.418
  • He had delegated that to mankind.
  • 00:16:02.484 --> 00:16:03.886
  • That to mankind. so now for god to speak
  • 00:16:03.952 --> 00:16:05.421
  • So now for god to speak the second adam, jesus,
  • 00:16:05.487 --> 00:16:07.489
  • The second adam, jesus, into existence, he had to
  • 00:16:07.556 --> 00:16:09.658
  • Into existence, he had to speak through people.
  • 00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:13.228
  • Speak through people. a verse that i used
  • 00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:13.962
  • A verse that i used the very first day
  • 00:16:14.029 --> 00:16:14.897
  • The very first day back monday of this week
  • 00:16:14.963 --> 00:16:17.032
  • Is ephesians, chapter 3,
  • 00:16:17.099 --> 00:16:18.434
  • Is ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20, and it says,
  • 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.802
  • Verse 20, and it says, now unto him who is able to
  • 00:16:19.868 --> 00:16:20.869
  • Now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly
  • 00:16:20.936 --> 00:16:22.404
  • Do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think,
  • 00:16:22.471 --> 00:16:24.306
  • Above all we ask or think, according to the power
  • 00:16:24.373 --> 00:16:26.275
  • According to the power that works in us.
  • 00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:27.543
  • That works in us. god flows through us.
  • 00:16:27.609 --> 00:16:29.378
  • God flows through us.
  • 00:16:27.609 --> 00:16:30.779
  • Now that he has created
  • 00:16:30.846 --> 00:16:32.848
  • Now that he has created the earth and given authority
  • 00:16:32.915 --> 00:16:34.116
  • The earth and given authority over the earth to men,
  • 00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.651
  • Over the earth to men, he flows through men.
  • 00:16:35.717 --> 00:16:37.152
  • He flows through men. he doesn't do things
  • 00:16:37.219 --> 00:16:38.187
  • He doesn't do things independent of us.
  • 00:16:38.253 --> 00:16:40.322
  • Independent of us. he always has to have
  • 00:16:40.389 --> 00:16:41.723
  • He always has to have a person to work through.
  • 00:16:41.790 --> 00:16:44.526
  • A person to work through. there had to be moses
  • 00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:46.395
  • There had to be moses that god touched and anointed
  • 00:16:46.462 --> 00:16:48.063
  • That god touched and anointed to go and bring
  • 00:16:48.130 --> 00:16:48.730
  • To go and bring the children of israel
  • 00:16:48.797 --> 00:16:49.631
  • The children of israel out of the land of egypt.
  • 00:16:49.698 --> 00:16:50.866
  • Out of the land of egypt. there had to be joshua
  • 00:16:50.933 --> 00:16:51.900
  • There had to be joshua that led them into
  • 00:16:51.967 --> 00:16:52.935
  • That led them into the promised land.
  • 00:16:53.001 --> 00:16:54.203
  • The promised land. there was david,
  • 00:16:54.269 --> 00:16:55.037
  • There was david, there was samuel,
  • 00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:56.038
  • There was samuel, there was isaiah, jeremiah,
  • 00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:58.040
  • There was isaiah, jeremiah, ezekiel, on and on it goes.
  • 00:16:58.107 --> 00:17:00.008
  • Ezekiel, on and on it goes. and likewise today,
  • 00:17:00.075 --> 00:17:02.077
  • And likewise today, god flows through people.
  • 00:17:02.144 --> 00:17:03.712
  • God flows through people. he doesn't do things
  • 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.713
  • He doesn't do things independent of people.
  • 00:17:04.780 --> 00:17:07.182
  • Independent of people. and again, this is another
  • 00:17:07.249 --> 00:17:07.983
  • And again, this is another great misconception
  • 00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:09.718
  • Great misconception that a lot of people have.
  • 00:17:09.785 --> 00:17:10.686
  • That a lot of people have. they think he's god.
  • 00:17:10.752 --> 00:17:11.620
  • They think he's god. he can just do anything.
  • 00:17:11.687 --> 00:17:12.754
  • He can just do anything. no, god had to flow
  • 00:17:12.821 --> 00:17:14.623
  • No, god had to flow through people.
  • 00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:15.691
  • It's according to
  • 00:17:15.757 --> 00:17:16.492
  • It's according to the power that works in us.
  • 00:17:16.558 --> 00:17:18.827
  • And now he had to speak
  • 00:17:18.894 --> 00:17:21.296
  • And now he had to speak jesus' body into existence.
  • 00:17:21.363 --> 00:17:23.398
  • Jesus' body into existence. jesus existed from
  • 00:17:23.465 --> 00:17:25.934
  • Jesus existed from the beginning.
  • 00:17:26.001 --> 00:17:26.602
  • The beginning. there is no beginning
  • 00:17:26.668 --> 00:17:28.170
  • There is no beginning to jesus.
  • 00:17:28.237 --> 00:17:29.738
  • To jesus. colossians, chapter 1,
  • 00:17:29.805 --> 00:17:30.906
  • Colossians, chapter 1, says that all things
  • 00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:33.242
  • Says that all things were created by jesus
  • 00:17:33.308 --> 00:17:36.145
  • Were created by jesus and for his pleasure.
  • 00:17:36.211 --> 00:17:37.646
  • And for his pleasure. jesus did not start
  • 00:17:37.713 --> 00:17:39.581
  • Jesus did not start when he was born of a virgin
  • 00:17:39.648 --> 00:17:42.084
  • When he was born of a virgin in bethlehem.
  • 00:17:42.151 --> 00:17:42.985
  • In bethlehem. he existed from eternity.
  • 00:17:43.051 --> 00:17:45.687
  • He existed from eternity. he is god manifest in the flesh.
  • 00:17:45.754 --> 00:17:47.890
  • He is god manifest in the flesh. but his physical body
  • 00:17:47.956 --> 00:17:49.725
  • But his physical body had to be created.
  • 00:17:49.791 --> 00:17:51.660
  • Had to be created. and how was god going to do it?
  • 00:17:51.727 --> 00:17:52.961
  • And how was god going to do it? he was going to speak it
  • 00:17:53.028 --> 00:17:53.729
  • He was going to speak it into existence,
  • 00:17:53.795 --> 00:17:54.696
  • Into existence, but him not being
  • 00:17:54.763 --> 00:17:55.731
  • But him not being in absolute control anymore,
  • 00:17:55.797 --> 00:17:57.432
  • In absolute control anymore, him delegating that to people,
  • 00:17:57.499 --> 00:17:59.268
  • Him delegating that to people, he had to speak through people.
  • 00:17:59.334 --> 00:18:02.604
  • He had to speak through people. and so he had to speak
  • 00:18:02.671 --> 00:18:04.072
  • And so he had to speak certain things before jesus'
  • 00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:06.775
  • Certain things before jesus' physical body could
  • 00:18:06.842 --> 00:18:08.310
  • Physical body could come into being.
  • 00:18:08.377 --> 00:18:10.145
  • Come into being. and there was just a multitude
  • 00:18:10.212 --> 00:18:11.513
  • And there was just a multitude of things that needed
  • 00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:12.381
  • Of things that needed to be said.
  • 00:18:12.447 --> 00:18:13.015
  • To be said. over in the book of malachi,
  • 00:18:13.081 --> 00:18:13.982
  • Over in the book of malachi, it says, he'll be born
  • 00:18:14.049 --> 00:18:15.050
  • It says, he'll be born in bethlehem.
  • 00:18:15.117 --> 00:18:17.152
  • In bethlehem. there was many other scriptures.
  • 00:18:17.219 --> 00:18:18.420
  • There was many other scriptures. isaiah gave a lot of
  • 00:18:18.487 --> 00:18:20.489
  • Isaiah gave a lot of prophecies about jesus.
  • 00:18:20.556 --> 00:18:22.691
  • He said in isaiah, chapter 7,
  • 00:18:22.758 --> 00:18:24.760
  • He said in isaiah, chapter 7, he says,
  • 00:18:24.826 --> 00:18:25.227
  • He says, a virgin shall conceive
  • 00:18:25.294 --> 00:18:27.496
  • A virgin shall conceive and bring forth a child.
  • 00:18:27.563 --> 00:18:29.565
  • And bring forth a child. man, that's radical.
  • 00:18:29.631 --> 00:18:30.999
  • I'm glad god didn't ask me
  • 00:18:31.066 --> 00:18:32.568
  • I'm glad god didn't ask me to prophesy that a virgin
  • 00:18:32.634 --> 00:18:34.036
  • To prophesy that a virgin was going to get pregnant
  • 00:18:34.102 --> 00:18:35.304
  • Was going to get pregnant and have a child.
  • 00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:36.638
  • And have a child. boy, you're putting your life
  • 00:18:36.705 --> 00:18:37.539
  • Boy, you're putting your life on the line, your reputation
  • 00:18:37.606 --> 00:18:39.274
  • On the line, your reputation on the line.
  • 00:18:39.341 --> 00:18:39.841
  • On the line. and yet,
  • 00:18:39.908 --> 00:18:40.175
  • Isaiah was bold enough
  • 00:18:40.242 --> 00:18:42.211
  • Isaiah was bold enough that he said,
  • 00:18:42.277 --> 00:18:42.678
  • That he said, a virgin is going to conceive
  • 00:18:42.744 --> 00:18:45.581
  • A virgin is going to conceive and bring forth a child.
  • 00:18:45.647 --> 00:18:46.882
  • And bring forth a child. and his name will be called
  • 00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:47.849
  • And his name will be called wonderful, counsellor,
  • 00:18:47.916 --> 00:18:49.084
  • Wonderful, counsellor, the mighty god,
  • 00:18:49.151 --> 00:18:49.918
  • The mighty god, the everlasting father,
  • 00:18:49.985 --> 00:18:51.119
  • The everlasting father, the prince of peace.
  • 00:18:51.186 --> 00:18:52.120
  • Of his kingdom
  • 00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:52.955
  • Of his kingdom there will be no end.
  • 00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:55.190
  • There will be no end. moses prophesied that there was
  • 00:18:55.257 --> 00:18:56.625
  • Moses prophesied that there was going to be a prophet like him.
  • 00:18:56.692 --> 00:18:57.993
  • Going to be a prophet like him. and there's just
  • 00:18:58.060 --> 00:18:58.493
  • And there's just multiple prophecies.
  • 00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:00.028
  • Multiple prophecies. david prophesied about him
  • 00:19:00.095 --> 00:19:02.464
  • David prophesied about him that he would be risen
  • 00:19:02.531 --> 00:19:03.498
  • That he would be risen from the dead over in
  • 00:19:03.565 --> 00:19:04.967
  • From the dead over in the 16th chapter of psalms,
  • 00:19:05.033 --> 00:19:07.002
  • The 16th chapter of psalms, and on and on.
  • 00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:07.536
  • And on and on. and so, all of these things
  • 00:19:07.603 --> 00:19:09.104
  • And so, all of these things had to be spoken.
  • 00:19:09.171 --> 00:19:10.806
  • Had to be spoken. and you know why
  • 00:19:10.872 --> 00:19:11.306
  • And you know why it took 4,000 years for jesus
  • 00:19:11.373 --> 00:19:13.675
  • It took 4,000 years for jesus to show up?
  • 00:19:13.742 --> 00:19:15.444
  • To show up? because god could not find
  • 00:19:15.510 --> 00:19:17.179
  • Because god could not find any one person who was
  • 00:19:17.246 --> 00:19:19.815
  • Any one person who was so in union with him
  • 00:19:19.881 --> 00:19:21.817
  • So in union with him and so submitted to him
  • 00:19:21.883 --> 00:19:23.385
  • And so submitted to him that he could speak everything
  • 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:24.987
  • That he could speak everything that needed to be spoken.
  • 00:19:25.053 --> 00:19:27.155
  • That needed to be spoken. and so it took 4,000 years
  • 00:19:27.222 --> 00:19:29.191
  • And so it took 4,000 years for god to speak a little bit
  • 00:19:29.258 --> 00:19:30.459
  • For god to speak a little bit through moses,
  • 00:19:30.525 --> 00:19:31.393
  • Through moses, and a little bit through samuel,
  • 00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:32.594
  • And a little bit through samuel, and a little bit through david,
  • 00:19:32.661 --> 00:19:34.062
  • And a little bit through david, and then all of the prophets,
  • 00:19:34.129 --> 00:19:35.264
  • And then all of the prophets, and on and on.
  • 00:19:35.330 --> 00:19:36.265
  • And on and on. and it took 4,000 years
  • 00:19:36.331 --> 00:19:38.767
  • And it took 4,000 years for god to speak jesus' body
  • 00:19:38.834 --> 00:19:42.504
  • For god to speak jesus' body into existence.
  • 00:19:42.571 --> 00:19:44.239
  • Into existence. but then going back to
  • 00:19:44.306 --> 00:19:45.207
  • But then going back to the scripture i started
  • 00:19:45.274 --> 00:19:46.141
  • The scripture i started this whole series with,
  • 00:19:46.208 --> 00:19:47.309
  • Galatians 4:4, when the fullness
  • 00:19:47.376 --> 00:19:49.778
  • Galatians 4:4, when the fullness of time was come,
  • 00:19:49.845 --> 00:19:51.947
  • Of time was come, god sent forth his son.
  • 00:19:52.014 --> 00:19:53.682
  • After everything was prepared,
  • 00:19:53.749 --> 00:19:55.751
  • After everything was prepared, after he had spoken
  • 00:19:55.817 --> 00:19:56.685
  • After he had spoken every prophecy that needed to
  • 00:19:56.752 --> 00:19:59.121
  • Every prophecy that needed to be spoken to create
  • 00:19:59.187 --> 00:20:00.555
  • Be spoken to create that physical body...
  • 00:20:00.622 --> 00:20:04.192
  • That physical body... i'm going to say something
  • 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:04.860
  • I'm going to say something right here that i'm going to
  • 00:20:04.926 --> 00:20:05.761
  • Right here that i'm going to have to go into next week
  • 00:20:05.827 --> 00:20:08.030
  • Have to go into next week to explain, but let me just
  • 00:20:08.096 --> 00:20:09.498
  • To explain, but let me just give you a little tease.
  • 00:20:09.564 --> 00:20:10.499
  • Give you a little tease. if you can understand,
  • 00:20:10.565 --> 00:20:11.400
  • If you can understand, if you've tracked with me
  • 00:20:11.466 --> 00:20:12.467
  • If you've tracked with me up to this point,
  • 00:20:12.534 --> 00:20:13.935
  • Up to this point, this is awesome.
  • 00:20:14.002 --> 00:20:16.338
  • This is awesome. that the bible says
  • 00:20:16.405 --> 00:20:17.506
  • That the bible says that the word of god is a seed.
  • 00:20:17.572 --> 00:20:21.143
  • 1 peter, chapter 1, verse 23,
  • 00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:23.412
  • 1 peter, chapter 1, verse 23, says we are born again,
  • 00:20:23.478 --> 00:20:24.813
  • Says we are born again, not of corruptible seed,
  • 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.948
  • Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed,
  • 00:20:27.015 --> 00:20:28.383
  • But of incorruptible seed, by the word of god,
  • 00:20:28.450 --> 00:20:29.217
  • By the word of god, that lives and abides for ever.
  • 00:20:29.284 --> 00:20:31.053
  • The greek word for seed
  • 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.854
  • The greek word for seed in 1 peter 1:23 is sper...
  • 00:20:32.921 --> 00:20:35.691
  • In 1 peter 1:23 is sper... is spora.
  • 00:20:35.757 --> 00:20:37.092
  • Is spora. that's like a spore, you know,
  • 00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:38.527
  • That's like a spore, you know, that's how a flower
  • 00:20:38.593 --> 00:20:39.428
  • That's how a flower is pollinated by the spores
  • 00:20:39.494 --> 00:20:41.830
  • Is pollinated by the spores going from one plant to another.
  • 00:20:41.897 --> 00:20:43.465
  • Going from one plant to another. and the word spora
  • 00:20:43.532 --> 00:20:44.966
  • And the word spora is a derivative of
  • 00:20:45.033 --> 00:20:46.068
  • Is a derivative of the greek word, sperma,
  • 00:20:46.134 --> 00:20:48.270
  • The greek word, sperma, and that's what
  • 00:20:48.337 --> 00:20:48.837
  • And that's what we talk about sperm,
  • 00:20:48.904 --> 00:20:50.005
  • We talk about sperm, a man's sperm, this is how
  • 00:20:50.072 --> 00:20:51.440
  • A man's sperm, this is how a child is conceived.
  • 00:20:51.506 --> 00:20:53.275
  • A child is conceived. so the word of god
  • 00:20:53.342 --> 00:20:54.242
  • So the word of god is called a seed, a sperm,
  • 00:20:54.309 --> 00:20:57.779
  • Is called a seed, a sperm, and god spoke these words
  • 00:20:57.846 --> 00:20:59.815
  • And god spoke these words through prophecy,
  • 00:20:59.881 --> 00:21:00.882
  • Through prophecy, through 4,000 years of prophecy.
  • 00:21:00.949 --> 00:21:03.885
  • Through 4,000 years of prophecy. and then when it came time
  • 00:21:03.952 --> 00:21:05.287
  • And then when it came time for the bir...virgin birth,
  • 00:21:05.354 --> 00:21:06.655
  • For the bir...virgin birth, when that fullness of time came,
  • 00:21:06.722 --> 00:21:08.890
  • When that fullness of time came, the angel gabriel appeared
  • 00:21:08.957 --> 00:21:11.193
  • The angel gabriel appeared and made a proposal to mary,
  • 00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:13.428
  • And made a proposal to mary, she accepted it and said,
  • 00:21:13.495 --> 00:21:14.763
  • She accepted it and said, so be it unto me
  • 00:21:14.830 --> 00:21:15.797
  • So be it unto me according to thy word.
  • 00:21:15.864 --> 00:21:17.899
  • According to thy word. and you know what?
  • 00:21:17.966 --> 00:21:18.767
  • And you know what? the sperm, the word,
  • 00:21:18.834 --> 00:21:20.502
  • The sperm, the word, these prophecies
  • 00:21:20.569 --> 00:21:21.636
  • These prophecies that had been spoken
  • 00:21:21.703 --> 00:21:22.437
  • That had been spoken for 4,000 years entered into
  • 00:21:22.504 --> 00:21:25.140
  • For 4,000 years entered into the womb of mary.
  • 00:21:25.207 --> 00:21:26.742
  • The womb of mary. and the virgin birth of jesus
  • 00:21:26.808 --> 00:21:28.610
  • And the virgin birth of jesus was natural in every single way
  • 00:21:28.677 --> 00:21:31.580
  • Was natural in every single way except one, and that was
  • 00:21:31.646 --> 00:21:33.348
  • Except one, and that was that a physical man
  • 00:21:33.415 --> 00:21:35.884
  • That a physical man didn't provide the seed.
  • 00:21:35.951 --> 00:21:37.686
  • Didn't provide the seed. the word of god was the seed.
  • 00:21:37.753 --> 00:21:41.289
  • The word of god was the seed. and this is exactly
  • 00:21:41.356 --> 00:21:43.125
  • What john, chapter 1,
  • 00:21:43.191 --> 00:21:44.760
  • What john, chapter 1, and this is what i'll get into
  • 00:21:44.826 --> 00:21:45.827
  • And this is what i'll get into next week.
  • 00:21:45.894 --> 00:21:46.595
  • Next week. it says, in the beginning
  • 00:21:46.661 --> 00:21:47.696
  • It says, in the beginning was the word,
  • 00:21:47.763 --> 00:21:48.997
  • Was the word, and the word was with god,
  • 00:21:49.064 --> 00:21:50.332
  • And the word was with god, and the word was god.
  • 00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:51.733
  • And the word was god. the same was in the beginning
  • 00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:53.135
  • The same was in the beginning with god.
  • 00:21:53.201 --> 00:21:54.069
  • With god. all things were created by him.
  • 00:21:54.136 --> 00:21:55.704
  • All things were created by him. and then in verse 14,
  • 00:21:55.771 --> 00:21:56.838
  • And then in verse 14, the word became flesh.
  • 00:21:56.905 --> 00:21:59.474
  • The word became flesh. how did it become flesh?
  • 00:21:59.541 --> 00:22:01.209
  • All of these prophecies
  • 00:22:01.276 --> 00:22:02.310
  • All of these prophecies were spoken.
  • 00:22:02.377 --> 00:22:03.111
  • Were spoken. gabriel came and made
  • 00:22:03.178 --> 00:22:04.880
  • Gabriel came and made the proposal to mary,
  • 00:22:04.946 --> 00:22:06.748
  • The proposal to mary, and when she accepted,
  • 00:22:06.815 --> 00:22:08.083
  • And when she accepted, the holy ghost overshadowed her,
  • 00:22:08.150 --> 00:22:10.852
  • The holy ghost overshadowed her, and she conceived
  • 00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:13.155
  • And she conceived through the word of god.
  • 00:22:13.221 --> 00:22:15.290
  • Through the word of god. everything about the birth
  • 00:22:15.357 --> 00:22:16.525
  • Everything about the birth was normal except am...
  • 00:22:16.591 --> 00:22:18.560
  • Was normal except am... a man didn't provide the sperm.
  • 00:22:18.627 --> 00:22:21.062
  • A man didn't provide the sperm. the word of god was the sperm.
  • 00:22:21.129 --> 00:22:23.532
  • The word of god was the sperm. and then mary conceived
  • 00:22:23.598 --> 00:22:24.766
  • And then mary conceived and gave birth
  • 00:22:24.833 --> 00:22:26.034
  • And gave birth and jesus came into this life.
  • 00:22:26.101 --> 00:22:27.803
  • And jesus came into this life. i've got a lot more
  • 00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:28.537
  • I've got a lot more to say about that,
  • 00:22:28.603 --> 00:22:29.905
  • To say about that, but if you can understand that,
  • 00:22:29.971 --> 00:22:31.973
  • But if you can understand that, did you know it's
  • 00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:32.407
  • Did you know it's the same thing with us?
  • 00:22:32.474 --> 00:22:33.809
  • The same thing with us? you have a spiritual womb
  • 00:22:33.875 --> 00:22:35.677
  • You have a spiritual womb whether you're merl...
  • 00:22:35.744 --> 00:22:36.378
  • Whether you're merl... male or female.
  • 00:22:36.445 --> 00:22:37.879
  • Male or female. you have a spiritual womb.
  • 00:22:37.946 --> 00:22:39.481
  • You have a spiritual womb. and you know how you conceive
  • 00:22:39.548 --> 00:22:40.382
  • And you know how you conceive a miracle?
  • 00:22:40.449 --> 00:22:41.550
  • A miracle? you take these words,
  • 00:22:41.616 --> 00:22:43.952
  • You take these words, these promises,
  • 00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:45.487
  • These promises, and you meditate on it,
  • 00:22:45.554 --> 00:22:46.521
  • And you meditate on it, mix it with faith, and man,
  • 00:22:46.588 --> 00:22:49.858
  • Mix it with faith, and man, you conceive a miracle
  • 00:22:49.925 --> 00:22:52.194
  • You conceive a miracle and then you give birth to it.
  • 00:22:52.260 --> 00:22:54.196
  • And then you give birth to it. there are so many people
  • 00:22:54.262 --> 00:22:55.197
  • There are so many people praying for a miracle,
  • 00:22:55.263 --> 00:22:56.531
  • Praying for a miracle, but it's like a virgin praying
  • 00:22:56.598 --> 00:22:59.134
  • But it's like a virgin praying for a virgin birth.
  • 00:22:59.201 --> 00:23:00.402
  • For a virgin birth. there was only one virgin birth
  • 00:23:00.469 --> 00:23:02.103
  • There was only one virgin birth and that happened through
  • 00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:02.938
  • And that happened through the word of god
  • 00:23:03.004 --> 00:23:04.706
  • The word of god being the sperm.
  • 00:23:04.773 --> 00:23:06.274
  • Being the sperm. yet there's christians praying,
  • 00:23:06.341 --> 00:23:07.642
  • Yet there's christians praying, oh god, heal me,
  • 00:23:07.709 --> 00:23:08.643
  • Oh god, heal me, and yet they don't know
  • 00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:09.177
  • And yet they don't know what the word of god says.
  • 00:23:09.244 --> 00:23:10.278
  • What the word of god says. they haven't taken those sperm
