  • Pastor matt hagee: we live
  • 00:00:18.601 --> 00:00:19.102
  • Pastor matt hagee: we live in a world that
  • 00:00:19.169 --> 00:00:21.438
  • In a world that has become addicted
  • 00:00:21.504 --> 00:00:22.405
  • Has become addicted to the artificial.
  • 00:00:22.472 --> 00:00:25.375
  • To the artificial. we crave imposters.
  • 00:00:25.442 --> 00:00:29.212

  • As a matter of fact, we brag about 'em.
  • 00:00:30.013 --> 00:00:31.915
  • We brag about 'em. if it looks like the real thing,
  • 00:00:31.981 --> 00:00:35.051
  • If it looks like the real thing, if it feels like the real thing,
  • 00:00:35.118 --> 00:00:38.588
  • If it feels like the real thing, but it doesn't cost or require
  • 00:00:38.655 --> 00:00:41.024
  • But it doesn't cost or require the same sacrifice, maintenance,
  • 00:00:41.091 --> 00:00:42.859
  • The same sacrifice, maintenance, and upkeep as the real thing,
  • 00:00:42.926 --> 00:00:45.528
  • And upkeep as the real thing, we'll show it to our friends

  • And tell them, "feel it. it's faux."
  • 00:00:51.334 --> 00:00:55.038
  • It's faux." as if "faux" makes
  • 00:00:55.105 --> 00:00:57.707
  • As if "faux" makes "fake" sound better.

  • And while i'm talking
  • 00:01:25.768 --> 00:01:26.436
  • And while i'm talking about things that
  • 00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:27.337
  • About things that are imposters and artificial,
  • 00:01:27.403 --> 00:01:30.006
  • Are imposters and artificial, i really don't mind

  • I really don't mind if you prefer the artificial in
  • 00:01:31.841 --> 00:01:33.476
  • If you prefer the artificial in your wardrobe or on your plate,
  • 00:01:33.543 --> 00:01:36.379
  • Your wardrobe or on your plate, but i can tell you for sure it
  • 00:01:36.446 --> 00:01:38.047
  • But i can tell you for sure it is altogether different
  • 00:01:38.114 --> 00:01:39.649
  • Is altogether different when you've got
  • 00:01:39.716 --> 00:01:40.216
  • When you've got the artificial in a pulpit,
  • 00:01:40.283 --> 00:01:42.085
  • The artificial in a pulpit, or you've got the artificial
  • 00:01:42.152 --> 00:01:43.253
  • Or you've got the artificial in a classroom,
  • 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:44.354
  • In a classroom, or you've got the artificial
  • 00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:45.555
  • Or you've got the artificial in a courtroom,
  • 00:01:45.622 --> 00:01:46.356
  • In a courtroom, or you've got the artificial
  • 00:01:46.422 --> 00:01:47.657
  • Or you've got the artificial in your congress
  • 00:01:47.724 --> 00:01:48.558
  • In your congress and in your senate.
  • 00:01:48.625 --> 00:01:49.559
  • And in your senate. why?
  • 00:01:49.626 --> 00:01:50.293
  • Why? because you can't
  • 00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:51.427
  • Because you can't beat the real thing.
  • 00:01:51.494 --> 00:01:54.130
  • Beat the real thing. and when it comes
  • 00:01:54.197 --> 00:01:54.864
  • And when it comes to the real thing,
  • 00:01:54.931 --> 00:01:55.965
  • To the real thing, god's word sets the standard.
  • 00:01:56.032 --> 00:01:58.134
  • God's word sets the standard. jesus christ said,
  • 00:01:58.201 --> 00:01:59.702
  • Jesus christ said, "thy word is truth."
  • 00:01:59.769 --> 00:02:02.405
  • "thy word is truth." this is the standard of truth.
  • 00:02:02.472 --> 00:02:04.741
  • This is the standard of truth. and jesus told us in john 8:32,
  • 00:02:04.807 --> 00:02:07.377
  • And jesus told us in john 8:32, "you shall know the truth

  • Have you ever correlated the fact that the farther
  • 00:02:18.421 --> 00:02:19.556
  • The fact that the farther we get away from truth,
  • 00:02:19.622 --> 00:02:20.957
  • We get away from truth, the more freedom we lose?
  • 00:02:21.024 --> 00:02:23.326
  • The more freedom we lose? why?
  • 00:02:23.393 --> 00:02:23.960
  • Why? because this is the truth
  • 00:02:24.027 --> 00:02:25.828
  • Because this is the truth and the truth
  • 00:02:25.895 --> 00:02:26.663
  • And the truth will make you free.
  • 00:02:26.729 --> 00:02:28.698
  • Will make you free. the more truth you have,
  • 00:02:28.765 --> 00:02:29.933
  • The more truth you have, the more freedom you enjoy.
  • 00:02:29.999 --> 00:02:31.334
  • The more freedom you enjoy. the more truth you reject,
  • 00:02:31.401 --> 00:02:32.869
  • The more truth you reject, the more bondage you endure.
  • 00:02:32.936 --> 00:02:35.805
  • The more bondage you endure. truth is the standard

  • 00:02:37.207 --> 00:02:38.208
  • Of knowledge. truth is the standard of wisdom.
  • 00:02:38.274 --> 00:02:40.276
  • Truth is the standard of wisdom. jeremiah told us,
  • 00:02:40.343 --> 00:02:41.311
  • Jeremiah told us, "let not the wise man
  • 00:02:41.377 --> 00:02:42.745
  • "let not the wise man glory in his wisdom
  • 00:02:42.812 --> 00:02:43.913
  • Glory in his wisdom or the mighty man in his might,
  • 00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:45.682
  • Or the mighty man in his might, or the rich man
  • 00:02:45.748 --> 00:02:46.716
  • Or the rich man in his riches.
  • 00:02:46.783 --> 00:02:47.750
  • In his riches. but let him glory in this
  • 00:02:47.817 --> 00:02:49.519
  • But let him glory in this that he knows god."
  • 00:02:49.586 --> 00:02:52.889

  • 00:02:55.058 --> 00:02:57.760
  • The gold standard. and instead of going back
  • 00:02:57.827 --> 00:02:59.362
  • And instead of going back to get it,
  • 00:02:59.429 --> 00:03:01.331
  • To get it, he decides to set a
  • 00:03:01.397 --> 00:03:02.232

  • 00:03:02.298 --> 00:03:03.766
  • New standard and says, "bronze will do."

  • Wouldn't that be a wonderful anniversary gift?
  • 00:03:19.282 --> 00:03:24.554

  • Out of elephant tusks. and then he not only
  • 00:06:54.597 --> 00:06:55.631
  • And then he not only had an ivory throne,
  • 00:06:55.698 --> 00:06:57.033
  • Had an ivory throne, he decided that he was going
  • 00:06:57.099 --> 00:06:58.267
  • He decided that he was going to overlay it with gold.
  • 00:06:58.334 --> 00:07:00.837
  • To overlay it with gold. that's bling, baby.

  • The throne room. marble steps.
  • 00:07:08.945 --> 00:07:10.913
  • Marble steps. and on each of the steps
  • 00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.315
  • And on each of the steps to his right and to his left
  • 00:07:12.381 --> 00:07:13.816
  • To his right and to his left sat a gold lion because
  • 00:07:13.883 --> 00:07:15.852
  • Sat a gold lion because he was the tribe of judah.
  • 00:07:15.918 --> 00:07:18.154
  • He was the tribe of judah. and those twelve gold lions
  • 00:07:18.221 --> 00:07:20.156
  • And those twelve gold lions cascaded from his throne down
  • 00:07:20.223 --> 00:07:22.458
  • Cascaded from his throne down announcing that judah was
  • 00:07:22.525 --> 00:07:24.126
  • Announcing that judah was the king over all of israel.
  • 00:07:24.193 --> 00:07:27.763
  • The king over all of israel. above him were cedar beams
  • 00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:29.599
  • Above him were cedar beams from lebanon in the throne room,
  • 00:07:29.665 --> 00:07:31.501
  • From lebanon in the throne room, and on the cedar beams
  • 00:07:31.567 --> 00:07:33.536
  • And on the cedar beams were 200 gold shields.
  • 00:07:33.603 --> 00:07:37.273
  • Were 200 gold shields. now, the purpose of these gold
  • 00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:38.407
  • Now, the purpose of these gold shields is that when solomon
  • 00:07:38.474 --> 00:07:40.176
  • Shields is that when solomon would get up from his throne
  • 00:07:40.243 --> 00:07:42.111
  • Would get up from his throne and walk up into the temple,
  • 00:07:42.178 --> 00:07:43.946
  • And walk up into the temple, the guard that
  • 00:07:44.013 --> 00:07:44.914
  • The guard that protected solomon,
  • 00:07:44.981 --> 00:07:46.082
  • Protected solomon, 200 men,
  • 00:07:46.148 --> 00:07:47.283
  • 200 men, 100 men would take the gold
  • 00:07:47.350 --> 00:07:49.218
  • 100 men would take the gold shields and go to the right side
  • 00:07:49.285 --> 00:07:50.920
  • Shields and go to the right side of the road
  • 00:07:50.987 --> 00:07:51.587
  • Of the road and 100 men would take
  • 00:07:51.654 --> 00:07:52.755
  • And 100 men would take the gold shields
  • 00:07:52.822 --> 00:07:53.623
  • The gold shields and go to the left side
  • 00:07:53.689 --> 00:07:54.490
  • And go to the left side of the road,
  • 00:07:54.557 --> 00:07:55.124
  • Of the road, and solomon would leave
  • 00:07:55.191 --> 00:07:56.459
  • And solomon would leave the throne room
  • 00:07:56.526 --> 00:07:57.493
  • The throne room and head to the temple.
  • 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.129
  • And head to the temple. and even today,
  • 00:08:00.196 --> 00:08:00.963
  • And even today, you can see exactly how
  • 00:08:01.030 --> 00:08:02.365
  • You can see exactly how this lays out
  • 00:08:02.431 --> 00:08:03.232
  • This lays out because mount zion is higher
  • 00:08:03.299 --> 00:08:05.434
  • Because mount zion is higher than the mountain where
  • 00:08:05.501 --> 00:08:06.335
  • Than the mountain where the king's throne was,
  • 00:08:06.402 --> 00:08:07.336
  • The king's throne was, so the king would
  • 00:08:07.403 --> 00:08:08.237
  • So the king would have to go up to the temple.
  • 00:08:08.304 --> 00:08:11.274
  • Have to go up to the temple. there's a preaching point there
  • 00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:12.441
  • There's a preaching point there that i don't have time
  • 00:08:12.508 --> 00:08:13.109
  • That i don't have time to get into,
  • 00:08:13.175 --> 00:08:13.910
  • To get into, but you need to understand
  • 00:08:13.976 --> 00:08:15.144
  • But you need to understand anytime you're going after god,
  • 00:08:15.211 --> 00:08:17.013
  • Anytime you're going after god, you've gotta go up to get him.
  • 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.314
  • [applause]
  • 00:08:19.148 --> 00:08:24.820
  • And when solomon would
  • 00:08:25.288 --> 00:08:26.022
  • And when solomon would go up into the temple,
  • 00:08:26.088 --> 00:08:27.790
  • Go up into the temple, it would look as if
  • 00:08:27.857 --> 00:08:29.125
  • It would look as if the golden arms of god
  • 00:08:29.191 --> 00:08:30.927
  • The golden arms of god were reaching down
  • 00:08:30.993 --> 00:08:32.028
  • Were reaching down to pull him in.
  • 00:08:32.094 --> 00:08:34.664
  • To pull him in. yet in the fifth year,
  • 00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:37.667
  • Yet in the fifth year, the king of egypt
  • 00:08:37.733 --> 00:08:38.434
  • The king of egypt comes and the bible
  • 00:08:38.501 --> 00:08:40.403
  • Comes and the bible says he took everything.
  • 00:08:40.469 --> 00:08:45.274
  • Says he took everything. how much did he take?
  • 00:08:45.341 --> 00:08:46.943
  • How much did he take? everything.
  • 00:08:47.009 --> 00:08:48.444
  • Everything. you say, "pastor matt,
  • 00:08:48.511 --> 00:08:49.312
  • You say, "pastor matt, he couldn't possibly
  • 00:08:49.378 --> 00:08:50.212
  • He couldn't possibly take every," --
  • 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:50.780
  • Take every," -- oh, he took everything.
  • 00:08:50.846 --> 00:08:54.584
  • Oh, he took everything. "he took the ivory throne?"
  • 00:08:54.650 --> 00:08:56.953
  • "he took the ivory throne?" everything.
  • 00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:58.554
  • Everything. "he took the twelve gold lions?"
  • 00:08:58.621 --> 00:09:01.424
  • "he took the twelve gold lions?" everything.
  • 00:09:01.490 --> 00:09:02.925
  • Everything. "he took the cedar beams?"
  • 00:09:02.992 --> 00:09:05.628
  • "he took the cedar beams?" everything.
  • 00:09:05.695 --> 00:09:07.063
  • Everything. "he took the 200 gold shields?"
  • 00:09:07.129 --> 00:09:11.033
  • Why?
  • 00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:16.772
  • Why? because of sin.
  • 00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:19.976
  • Because of sin. you see,
  • 00:09:20.042 --> 00:09:20.476
  • You see, david was man after god's
  • 00:09:20.543 --> 00:09:21.644
  • David was man after god's own heart and solomon
  • 00:09:21.711 --> 00:09:24.647
  • Own heart and solomon upheld the worship of the lord
  • 00:09:24.714 --> 00:09:26.115
  • Upheld the worship of the lord in the temple,
  • 00:09:26.182 --> 00:09:27.750
  • In the temple, but rehoboam had allowed idols
  • 00:09:27.817 --> 00:09:30.052
  • But rehoboam had allowed idols to enter god's house.
  • 00:09:30.119 --> 00:09:33.089
  • To enter god's house. he preferred a fake, imposter,
  • 00:09:33.155 --> 00:09:36.292
  • He preferred a fake, imposter, substitute, artificial god
  • 00:09:36.359 --> 00:09:38.628
  • Substitute, artificial god next to the one true god.
  • 00:09:38.694 --> 00:09:41.564
  • Next to the one true god. and god said, "my glory,
  • 00:09:41.631 --> 00:09:42.798
  • And god said, "my glory, "i'll share with no one."
  • 00:09:42.865 --> 00:09:46.102
  • "i'll share with no one." so, all it took was five years
  • 00:09:46.168 --> 00:09:49.639
  • So, all it took was five years and rehoboam
  • 00:09:49.705 --> 00:09:50.306
  • And rehoboam lost everything.
  • 00:09:50.373 --> 00:09:53.075
  • Lost everything. let me tell you something,
  • 00:09:53.142 --> 00:09:54.877
  • Let me tell you something, sin will cost you everything.
  • 00:09:54.944 --> 00:09:58.581
  • Sin will cost you everything. it might not take
  • 00:09:58.648 --> 00:09:59.315
  • It might not take it all at once,
  • 00:09:59.382 --> 00:10:00.449
  • It all at once, but eventually it will
  • 00:10:00.516 --> 00:10:01.651
  • But eventually it will take everything.
  • 00:10:01.717 --> 00:10:03.319
  • Take everything. you let it into your house,
  • 00:10:03.386 --> 00:10:04.720
  • You let it into your house, it'll take your family.
  • 00:10:04.787 --> 00:10:05.955
  • It'll take your family. you let it into your marriage,
  • 00:10:06.022 --> 00:10:07.189
  • You let it into your marriage, it'll destroy that.
  • 00:10:07.256 --> 00:10:08.391
  • It'll destroy that. you let it into your business,
  • 00:10:08.457 --> 00:10:09.792
  • You let it into your business, you'll go bankrupt.
  • 00:10:09.859 --> 00:10:10.926
  • You'll go bankrupt. you let it into your life,
  • 00:10:10.993 --> 00:10:12.128
  • You let it into your life, it will kill you.
  • 00:10:12.194 --> 00:10:15.765
  • It will kill you. why?
  • 00:10:15.831 --> 00:10:17.333
  • Why? because there is only one true
  • 00:10:17.400 --> 00:10:18.534
  • Because there is only one true god and he will not share
  • 00:10:18.601 --> 00:10:20.569
  • God and he will not share his glory with anyone.
  • 00:10:20.636 --> 00:10:23.906
  • His glory with anyone. rehoboam becomes a pretender
  • 00:10:23.973 --> 00:10:25.775
  • Rehoboam becomes a pretender in the palace.
  • 00:10:25.841 --> 00:10:27.710
  • In the palace. you say,
  • 00:10:27.777 --> 00:10:28.244
  • You say, "well how can you blame him?
  • 00:10:28.310 --> 00:10:29.945
  • "well how can you blame him? the king of egypt
  • 00:10:30.012 --> 00:10:30.880
  • The king of egypt came and took it."
  • 00:10:30.946 --> 00:10:31.914
  • Came and took it." if you understood anything
  • 00:10:31.981 --> 00:10:33.449
  • If you understood anything about the ancient world,
  • 00:10:33.516 --> 00:10:34.917
  • About the ancient world, the only way that
  • 00:10:34.984 --> 00:10:36.018
  • The only way that an invading king would allow
  • 00:10:36.085 --> 00:10:37.887
  • An invading king would allow the king that he conquered
  • 00:10:37.953 --> 00:10:39.655
  • The king that he conquered to live is if the king
  • 00:10:39.722 --> 00:10:41.057
  • To live is if the king that he conquered submitted
  • 00:10:41.123 --> 00:10:42.358
  • That he conquered submitted himself to the new king.
  • 00:10:42.425 --> 00:10:45.127
  • Himself to the new king. if rehoboam would have
  • 00:10:45.194 --> 00:10:46.162
  • If rehoboam would have fought the king of egypt,
  • 00:10:46.228 --> 00:10:47.763
  • Fought the king of egypt, he would be dead.
  • 00:10:47.830 --> 00:10:50.433
  • He would be dead. it would say,
  • 00:10:50.499 --> 00:10:51.367
  • It would say, "and rehoboam got
  • 00:10:51.434 --> 00:10:52.268
  • "and rehoboam got his head cut off,
  • 00:10:52.334 --> 00:10:53.369
  • His head cut off, and then he took everything."
  • 00:10:53.436 --> 00:10:56.138
  • And then he took everything." but the fact that rehoboam
  • 00:10:56.205 --> 00:10:57.373
  • But the fact that rehoboam is still around after
  • 00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:58.507
  • Is still around after everything's gone means
  • 00:10:58.574 --> 00:11:00.242
  • Everything's gone means that the grandson of david
  • 00:11:00.309 --> 00:11:01.544
  • That the grandson of david and the son of solomon helped
  • 00:11:01.610 --> 00:11:03.112
  • And the son of solomon helped the king of egypt load up
  • 00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:04.847
  • The king of egypt load up his stuff in his truck
  • 00:11:04.914 --> 00:11:07.083
  • His stuff in his truck and send him back to egypt.
  • 00:11:07.149 --> 00:11:10.686
  • And send him back to egypt. now in texas,
  • 00:11:10.753 --> 00:11:11.654
  • Now in texas, that's called all hat
