  • Very specific details about the atoning work
  • 00:01:52.638 --> 00:01:54.239
  • About the atoning work of the messiah
  • 00:01:54.306 --> 00:01:55.407
  • Of the messiah that were written in
  • 00:01:55.474 --> 00:01:56.608
  • That were written in the prophets and some
  • 00:01:56.675 --> 00:01:58.477
  • The prophets and some in the torah actually,
  • 00:01:58.544 --> 00:02:00.045
  • In the torah actually, which is why moses said
  • 00:02:00.112 --> 00:02:01.647
  • Which is why moses said that the mess -
  • 00:02:01.713 --> 00:02:02.714
  • That the mess - the one that would come
  • 00:02:02.781 --> 00:02:03.515
  • The one that would come after him would be greater
  • 00:02:03.582 --> 00:02:06.485
  • After him would be greater than him,
  • 00:02:06.552 --> 00:02:07.319
  • Than him, but would not add anything
  • 00:02:07.386 --> 00:02:08.921
  • But would not add anything to what he said.
  • 00:02:08.987 --> 00:02:10.389
  • To what he said. in other words,
  • 00:02:10.455 --> 00:02:11.723
  • In other words, he would be proclaiming
  • 00:02:11.790 --> 00:02:14.026
  • He would be proclaiming the revealed scripture.
  • 00:02:14.092 --> 00:02:15.827
  • The revealed scripture. in one sense,
  • 00:02:15.894 --> 00:02:17.729
  • In one sense, jesus didn't teach
  • 00:02:17.796 --> 00:02:19.031
  • Jesus didn't teach us anything that was new
  • 00:02:19.097 --> 00:02:20.999
  • Us anything that was new in the sense that
  • 00:02:21.066 --> 00:02:23.101
  • In the sense that it was foreign
  • 00:02:23.168 --> 00:02:25.504
  • It was foreign to the revelation
  • 00:02:25.571 --> 00:02:27.172
  • To the revelation of scripture --
  • 00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:28.006
  • Of scripture -- >> or a violation --
  • 00:02:28.073 --> 00:02:29.041
  • >> or a violation -- >> or a violation of scripture.
  • 00:02:29.107 --> 00:02:30.275
  • >> or a violation of scripture. that's actually the warning.
  • 00:02:30.342 --> 00:02:31.944
  • That's actually the warning. that anything that's contrary
  • 00:02:32.010 --> 00:02:33.979
  • That anything that's contrary to what you've been taught,
  • 00:02:34.046 --> 00:02:35.180
  • To what you've been taught, they're not the messiah,
  • 00:02:35.247 --> 00:02:36.381
  • They're not the messiah, don't trust them.
  • 00:02:36.448 --> 00:02:38.050
  • Don't trust them. jesus, of course brings us full
  • 00:02:38.116 --> 00:02:39.351
  • Jesus, of course brings us full meaning and understanding,
  • 00:02:39.418 --> 00:02:41.853
  • Meaning and understanding, and re-interprets
  • 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:42.921
  • And re-interprets things for us,
  • 00:02:42.988 --> 00:02:44.957
  • Things for us, in bringing clarity
  • 00:02:45.023 --> 00:02:46.191
  • In bringing clarity to what had become tradition,
  • 00:02:46.258 --> 00:02:47.726
  • To what had become tradition, and so on.
  • 00:02:47.793 --> 00:02:49.294
  • And so on. but the foundation
  • 00:02:49.361 --> 00:02:53.332
  • But the foundation of the work of messiah
  • 00:02:53.398 --> 00:02:55.634
  • Of the work of messiah is revealed in the torah
  • 00:02:55.701 --> 00:02:57.002
  • Is revealed in the torah and the prophets.
  • 00:02:57.069 --> 00:02:58.337
  • And the prophets. and one of the clearest
  • 00:02:58.403 --> 00:02:59.571
  • And one of the clearest out of the 300 --
  • 00:02:59.638 --> 00:03:00.973
  • Out of the 300 -- so, these are the messianic
  • 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.040
  • So, these are the messianic prophecies that lay out
  • 00:03:02.107 --> 00:03:04.276
  • Prophecies that lay out for us the things
  • 00:03:04.343 --> 00:03:06.945
  • For us the things to look for
  • 00:03:07.012 --> 00:03:08.180
  • To look for in identifying
  • 00:03:08.247 --> 00:03:09.014
  • In identifying the messiah correctly.
  • 00:03:09.081 --> 00:03:10.582
  • The messiah correctly. and that was very clear
  • 00:03:10.649 --> 00:03:12.551
  • And that was very clear to the disciples once
  • 00:03:12.618 --> 00:03:13.418
  • To the disciples once their eyes were open.
  • 00:03:13.485 --> 00:03:14.519
  • Their eyes were open. and when --
  • 00:03:14.586 --> 00:03:15.120
  • And when -- ezra, when the expounded
  • 00:03:15.187 --> 00:03:16.288
  • Ezra, when the expounded on scripture,
  • 00:03:16.355 --> 00:03:17.256
  • On scripture, we're told that they expounded
  • 00:03:17.322 --> 00:03:19.491
  • We're told that they expounded on the scriptures
  • 00:03:19.558 --> 00:03:20.392
  • On the scriptures to prove to their
  • 00:03:20.459 --> 00:03:22.027
  • To prove to their jewish brethren that this
  • 00:03:22.094 --> 00:03:23.562
  • Jewish brethren that this was the promised messiah,
  • 00:03:23.629 --> 00:03:25.063
  • Was the promised messiah, yeshua, was
  • 00:03:25.130 --> 00:03:26.164
  • Yeshua, was the promised messiah.
  • 00:03:26.231 --> 00:03:27.366
  • The promised messiah. they were using the torah,
  • 00:03:27.432 --> 00:03:29.067
  • They were using the torah, they were using
  • 00:03:29.134 --> 00:03:29.935
  • They were using the book of isaiah, of jeremiah,
  • 00:03:30.002 --> 00:03:32.204
  • The book of isaiah, of jeremiah, of daniel and so on,
  • 00:03:32.271 --> 00:03:34.273
  • Of daniel and so on, because those were
  • 00:03:34.339 --> 00:03:34.940
  • Because those were the scriptures.
  • 00:03:35.007 --> 00:03:35.941
  • The scriptures. >> we see that so often,
  • 00:03:36.008 --> 00:03:36.708
  • >> we see that so often, dozens of times,
  • 00:03:36.775 --> 00:03:37.676
  • Dozens of times, literally dozens of times
  • 00:03:37.743 --> 00:03:39.344
  • Literally dozens of times throughout the new testament,
  • 00:03:39.411 --> 00:03:40.712
  • Throughout the new testament, and the gospels,
  • 00:03:40.779 --> 00:03:41.413
  • And the gospels, and then in paul's writings,
  • 00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:42.914
  • And then in paul's writings, and the other letters.
  • 00:03:42.981 --> 00:03:44.016
  • And the other letters. in the books we see that phrase,
  • 00:03:44.082 --> 00:03:45.550
  • In the books we see that phrase, "so that the scriptures might
  • 00:03:45.617 --> 00:03:46.785
  • "so that the scriptures might be fulfilled," right?
  • 00:03:46.852 --> 00:03:47.653
  • Be fulfilled," right? this happened during the life,
  • 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.888
  • This happened during the life, the ministry,
  • 00:03:49.955 --> 00:03:50.689
  • The ministry, the death,
  • 00:03:50.756 --> 00:03:51.156
  • The death, the burial,
  • 00:03:51.223 --> 00:03:51.723
  • The burial, the resurrection
  • 00:03:51.790 --> 00:03:52.324
  • The resurrection and the ascension of yeshua,
  • 00:03:52.391 --> 00:03:53.792
  • And the ascension of yeshua, to be with the father
  • 00:03:53.859 --> 00:03:54.760
  • To be with the father at his right hand
  • 00:03:54.826 --> 00:03:55.560
  • At his right hand so that scripture might
  • 00:03:55.627 --> 00:03:56.728
  • So that scripture might be fulfilled,
  • 00:03:56.795 --> 00:03:57.696
  • Be fulfilled, and then it quotes
  • 00:03:57.763 --> 00:03:58.664
  • And then it quotes something from,
  • 00:03:58.730 --> 00:03:59.931
  • Something from, what's called the jewish bible,
  • 00:03:59.998 --> 00:04:01.133
  • What's called the jewish bible, or we know it as
  • 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:01.800
  • Or we know it as the old testament.
  • 00:04:01.867 --> 00:04:02.934
  • The old testament. >> exactly.
  • 00:04:03.001 --> 00:04:04.102
  • >> exactly. in great detail,
  • 00:04:04.169 --> 00:04:05.070
  • In great detail, in amazing detail.
  • 00:04:05.137 --> 00:04:06.838
  • In amazing detail. and one of the greatest
  • 00:04:06.905 --> 00:04:08.907
  • And one of the greatest is daniel 9.
  • 00:04:08.974 --> 00:04:10.575
  • Is daniel 9. we've looked at
  • 00:04:10.642 --> 00:04:11.243
  • We've looked at isaiah 53 recently,
  • 00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:13.512
  • Isaiah 53 recently, probably the clearest
  • 00:04:13.578 --> 00:04:15.013
  • Probably the clearest that speaks of his
  • 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:15.747
  • That speaks of his atoning death,
  • 00:04:15.814 --> 00:04:17.149
  • Atoning death, but daniel 9 is stunning
  • 00:04:17.215 --> 00:04:20.285
  • But daniel 9 is stunning in its detail because
  • 00:04:20.352 --> 00:04:22.187
  • In its detail because it lays out some facts
  • 00:04:22.254 --> 00:04:23.588
  • It lays out some facts that are indisputable
  • 00:04:23.655 --> 00:04:25.624
  • That are indisputable and that prove,
  • 00:04:25.691 --> 00:04:26.925
  • And that prove, literally prove that
  • 00:04:26.992 --> 00:04:29.127
  • Literally prove that yeshua was the messiah.
  • 00:04:29.194 --> 00:04:30.562
  • Yeshua was the messiah. >> yeah, and i think, jonathan,
  • 00:04:30.629 --> 00:04:31.363
  • >> yeah, and i think, jonathan, for context,
  • 00:04:31.430 --> 00:04:32.197
  • For context, for those watching today,
  • 00:04:32.264 --> 00:04:33.432
  • For those watching today, there's really two things
  • 00:04:33.498 --> 00:04:34.533
  • There's really two things going here in terms
  • 00:04:34.599 --> 00:04:35.600
  • Going here in terms of the jewish
  • 00:04:35.667 --> 00:04:36.335
  • Of the jewish community's understanding.
  • 00:04:36.401 --> 00:04:38.170
  • Community's understanding. the first is getting beyond
  • 00:04:38.236 --> 00:04:39.438
  • The first is getting beyond this idea that jesus
  • 00:04:39.504 --> 00:04:41.073
  • This idea that jesus is the god of the christians
  • 00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:42.708
  • Is the god of the christians who shows us in 0 a.d.
  • 00:04:42.774 --> 00:04:44.376
  • Who shows us in 0 a.d. and invents a new religion.
  • 00:04:44.443 --> 00:04:46.345
  • And invents a new religion. we have to get beyond
  • 00:04:46.411 --> 00:04:47.379
  • We have to get beyond that narrative
  • 00:04:47.446 --> 00:04:48.313
  • That narrative and our appeal
  • 00:04:48.380 --> 00:04:49.448
  • And our appeal to the jewish community is,
  • 00:04:49.514 --> 00:04:50.248
  • To the jewish community is, no, no, look again
  • 00:04:50.315 --> 00:04:51.450
  • No, no, look again at the person and the life,
  • 00:04:51.516 --> 00:04:53.251
  • At the person and the life, and the ministry,
  • 00:04:53.318 --> 00:04:53.952
  • And the ministry, and the death and resurrection
  • 00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:55.253
  • And the death and resurrection of yeshua from nazareth, jesus
  • 00:04:55.320 --> 00:04:57.989
  • Of yeshua from nazareth, jesus and then ask according
  • 00:04:58.056 --> 00:04:59.391
  • And then ask according to the scriptures,
  • 00:04:59.458 --> 00:05:00.359
  • To the scriptures, could he be the one
  • 00:05:00.425 --> 00:05:01.426
  • Could he be the one we've waited for?
  • 00:05:01.493 --> 00:05:02.494
  • We've waited for? and daniel 9, i believe,
  • 00:05:02.561 --> 00:05:04.463
  • And daniel 9, i believe, we believe
  • 00:05:04.529 --> 00:05:05.097
  • We believe and we're gonna show you
  • 00:05:05.163 --> 00:05:05.797
  • And we're gonna show you in a minute,
  • 00:05:05.864 --> 00:05:06.498
  • In a minute, clearly says that he was,
  • 00:05:06.565 --> 00:05:09.167
  • Clearly says that he was, because there was a specific
  • 00:05:09.234 --> 00:05:10.202
  • Because there was a specific time when he would be born,
  • 00:05:10.268 --> 00:05:11.870
  • Time when he would be born, and a specific time
  • 00:05:11.937 --> 00:05:13.171
  • And a specific time when he would die,
  • 00:05:13.238 --> 00:05:14.740
  • When he would die, spoken by daniel hundreds
  • 00:05:14.806 --> 00:05:15.841
  • Spoken by daniel hundreds of years before.
  • 00:05:15.907 --> 00:05:16.808
  • Of years before. >> and why he would die.
  • 00:05:16.875 --> 00:05:17.609
  • >> and why he would die. very clearly,
  • 00:05:17.676 --> 00:05:18.377
  • Very clearly, why he would die.
  • 00:05:18.443 --> 00:05:19.845
  • Why he would die. i say this
  • 00:05:19.911 --> 00:05:21.847
  • I say this and i challenge anyone
  • 00:05:21.913 --> 00:05:23.815
  • And i challenge anyone that's watching that
  • 00:05:23.882 --> 00:05:25.684
  • That's watching that hasn't embraced yeshua, jesus
  • 00:05:25.751 --> 00:05:28.687
  • Hasn't embraced yeshua, jesus as the messiah,
  • 00:05:28.754 --> 00:05:29.988
  • As the messiah, maybe you come
  • 00:05:30.055 --> 00:05:31.690
  • Maybe you come from a jewish background.
  • 00:05:31.757 --> 00:05:33.392
  • From a jewish background. anyone who looks
  • 00:05:33.458 --> 00:05:35.460
  • Anyone who looks at the scriptures with
  • 00:05:35.527 --> 00:05:36.495
  • At the scriptures with an open mind,
  • 00:05:36.561 --> 00:05:37.863
  • An open mind, looks at messianic prophecies,
  • 00:05:37.929 --> 00:05:39.364
  • Looks at messianic prophecies, predictive prophecy that
  • 00:05:39.431 --> 00:05:42.267
  • Predictive prophecy that indisputably was written
  • 00:05:42.334 --> 00:05:44.569
  • Indisputably was written hundreds of years before
  • 00:05:44.636 --> 00:05:46.371
  • Hundreds of years before he ever walked the earth,
  • 00:05:46.438 --> 00:05:48.140
  • He ever walked the earth, will come away convinced,
  • 00:05:48.206 --> 00:05:49.641
  • Will come away convinced, if you look with an open mind.
  • 00:05:49.708 --> 00:05:51.910
  • If you look with an open mind. the problem is,
  • 00:05:51.977 --> 00:05:52.844
  • The problem is, many don't,
  • 00:05:52.911 --> 00:05:54.279
  • Many don't, they come
  • 00:05:54.346 --> 00:05:54.713
  • They come with preconceived ideas,
  • 00:05:54.780 --> 00:05:56.648
  • With preconceived ideas, and one of those is jesus
  • 00:05:56.715 --> 00:05:58.450
  • And one of those is jesus can't be our messiah.
  • 00:05:58.517 --> 00:05:59.651
  • Can't be our messiah. he can't be,
  • 00:05:59.718 --> 00:06:00.752
  • He can't be, because it was determined
  • 00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:02.154
  • Because it was determined 2000 years ago that he wasn't.
  • 00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:04.156
  • 2000 years ago that he wasn't. there's another thing
  • 00:06:04.222 --> 00:06:05.023
  • There's another thing that we're gonna look at today
  • 00:06:05.090 --> 00:06:05.957
  • That we're gonna look at today that i don't want you to miss,
  • 00:06:06.024 --> 00:06:08.193
  • That i don't want you to miss, and that is the support
  • 00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:10.629
  • And that is the support of the messiahship of yeshua,
  • 00:06:10.695 --> 00:06:14.533
  • Of the messiahship of yeshua, of jesus in daniel 9,
  • 00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:15.834
  • Of jesus in daniel 9, according to the hebrew,
  • 00:06:15.901 --> 00:06:17.335
  • According to the hebrew, going back to the original
  • 00:06:17.402 --> 00:06:18.036
  • Going back to the original hebrew makes it
  • 00:06:18.103 --> 00:06:19.905
  • Hebrew makes it absolutely clear.
  • 00:06:19.971 --> 00:06:21.907
  • Absolutely clear. you know,
  • 00:06:21.973 --> 00:06:22.340
  • You know, you can look at some
  • 00:06:22.407 --> 00:06:23.141
  • You can look at some translations and say,
  • 00:06:23.208 --> 00:06:23.975
  • Translations and say, "i don't see it."
  • 00:06:24.042 --> 00:06:25.610
  • "i don't see it." but go back to the original
  • 00:06:25.677 --> 00:06:26.678
  • But go back to the original hebrew on daniel 9,
  • 00:06:26.745 --> 00:06:28.880
  • Hebrew on daniel 9, it's very clear.
  • 00:06:28.947 --> 00:06:29.915
  • It's very clear. >> right, and the context here,
  • 00:06:29.981 --> 00:06:31.550
  • >> right, and the context here, jonathan, before we even get
  • 00:06:31.616 --> 00:06:32.784
  • Jonathan, before we even get into the kind of focal passage
  • 00:06:32.851 --> 00:06:34.753
  • Into the kind of focal passage for today's teaching is,
  • 00:06:34.820 --> 00:06:36.388
  • For today's teaching is, daniel begins to pray
  • 00:06:36.455 --> 00:06:38.089
  • Daniel begins to pray because he understood
  • 00:06:38.156 --> 00:06:39.157
  • Because he understood from the scriptures
  • 00:06:39.224 --> 00:06:40.325
  • From the scriptures that there were these 70 years
  • 00:06:40.392 --> 00:06:41.660
  • That there were these 70 years when the jewish people
  • 00:06:41.726 --> 00:06:42.761
  • When the jewish people would be exiled to babylon
  • 00:06:42.828 --> 00:06:44.563
  • Would be exiled to babylon because of our sin,
  • 00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:45.564
  • Because of our sin, and we deserved it,
  • 00:06:45.630 --> 00:06:46.531
  • And we deserved it, make no mistake.
  • 00:06:46.598 --> 00:06:47.299
  • Make no mistake. but at that time,
  • 00:06:47.365 --> 00:06:48.266
  • But at that time, god would stretch
  • 00:06:48.333 --> 00:06:48.767
  • God would stretch out his hand to bring
  • 00:06:48.834 --> 00:06:49.668
  • Out his hand to bring us back to land of israel,
  • 00:06:49.734 --> 00:06:51.369
  • Us back to land of israel, really to bring us
  • 00:06:51.436 --> 00:06:51.970
  • Really to bring us back to himself,
  • 00:06:52.037 --> 00:06:53.138
  • Back to himself, as a people.
  • 00:06:53.205 --> 00:06:53.905
  • As a people. and i love this passage.
  • 00:06:53.972 --> 00:06:54.840
  • And i love this passage. daniel looks and says,
  • 00:06:54.906 --> 00:06:56.308
  • Daniel looks and says, "the set time has come
  • 00:06:56.374 --> 00:06:57.809
  • "the set time has come to favor the jewish people."
  • 00:06:57.876 --> 00:06:59.044
  • To favor the jewish people." seventy years are up,
  • 00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:00.345
  • Seventy years are up, and he sets his heart
  • 00:07:00.412 --> 00:07:01.513
  • And he sets his heart to praying and fasting.
  • 00:07:01.580 --> 00:07:03.315
  • To praying and fasting. and he gets more than
  • 00:07:03.381 --> 00:07:04.616
  • And he gets more than a return to israel,
  • 00:07:04.683 --> 00:07:05.617
  • A return to israel, he gets more than an answer
  • 00:07:05.684 --> 00:07:06.618
  • He gets more than an answer from heaven,
  • 00:07:06.685 --> 00:07:07.519
  • From heaven, he gets down low from god,
  • 00:07:07.586 --> 00:07:09.788
  • He gets down low from god, about the details
  • 00:07:09.855 --> 00:07:10.822
  • About the details of the messiahship of jesus.
  • 00:07:10.889 --> 00:07:12.123
  • Of the messiahship of jesus. >> now, what we're not gonna
  • 00:07:12.190 --> 00:07:12.924
  • >> now, what we're not gonna do today,
  • 00:07:12.991 --> 00:07:13.725
  • Do today, just to prepare you,
  • 00:07:13.792 --> 00:07:14.493
  • Just to prepare you, we're not gonna go into
  • 00:07:14.559 --> 00:07:15.393
  • We're not gonna go into the 70 weeks
  • 00:07:15.460 --> 00:07:17.295
  • The 70 weeks and go through the dating
  • 00:07:17.362 --> 00:07:18.196
  • And go through the dating of all that.
  • 00:07:18.263 --> 00:07:19.231
  • Of all that. we don't have time to do that.
  • 00:07:19.297 --> 00:07:20.866
  • We don't have time to do that. what were going to do is
  • 00:07:20.932 --> 00:07:22.968
  • What were going to do is to look at some
  • 00:07:23.034 --> 00:07:24.169
  • To look at some of the text in detail.
  • 00:07:24.236 --> 00:07:26.605
  • Of the text in detail. >> and jonathan,
  • 00:07:26.671 --> 00:07:27.205
  • >> and jonathan, opening up to daniel 9,
  • 00:07:27.272 --> 00:07:28.640
  • Opening up to daniel 9, i love this passage.
  • 00:07:28.707 --> 00:07:30.108
  • I love this passage. this is daniel confessing,
  • 00:07:30.175 --> 00:07:32.344
  • This is daniel confessing, not only his sin,
  • 00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:33.245
  • Not only his sin, but actually confessing
  • 00:07:33.311 --> 00:07:34.446
  • But actually confessing on behalf of the jewish people
  • 00:07:34.513 --> 00:07:36.114
  • On behalf of the jewish people his sin early on in chapter --
  • 00:07:36.181 --> 00:07:37.716
  • His sin early on in chapter -- the sins of the jewish people
  • 00:07:37.782 --> 00:07:38.583
  • The sins of the jewish people and saying,
  • 00:07:38.650 --> 00:07:39.184
  • And saying, "yet god, you promised
  • 00:07:39.251 --> 00:07:41.152
  • "yet god, you promised to restore to yourself
  • 00:07:41.219 --> 00:07:42.053
  • To restore to yourself and to the land.
  • 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:43.421
  • And to the land. i'm crying out to you
  • 00:07:43.488 --> 00:07:44.356
  • I'm crying out to you to do so."
  • 00:07:44.422 --> 00:07:44.890
  • To do so." and then verse 20, it says,
  • 00:07:44.956 --> 00:07:46.591
  • And then verse 20, it says, "while i was still speaking
  • 00:07:46.658 --> 00:07:47.926
  • "while i was still speaking and praying," --
  • 00:07:47.993 --> 00:07:48.593
  • And praying," -- this is daniel 9:20,

  • Listen, "while i was still in prayer, gabriel,
  • 00:07:56.902 --> 00:07:59.170
  • In prayer, gabriel, the man i had seen

  • In the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight
  • 00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:02.707
  • Came to me in swift flight about the time
  • 00:08:02.774 --> 00:08:03.475
  • About the time of the evening sacrifice.
  • 00:08:03.542 --> 00:08:04.509
  • Of the evening sacrifice. and he said,

  • To give you insight and understanding."

  • And understanding." and then listen to this,
  • 00:08:08.446 --> 00:08:09.080
  • And then listen to this, this is maybe one
  • 00:08:09.147 --> 00:08:09.848
  • This is maybe one of my favorite verses --

  • And understand the vision." jonathan, as soon as daniel
  • 00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:28.099
  • Jonathan, as soon as daniel begins to ask the lord,
  • 00:08:28.166 --> 00:08:30.235
  • Begins to ask the lord, "lord, we've sinned before you,

  • As soon as he begins to ask, the word goes out.
  • 00:08:34.573 --> 00:08:35.840
  • The word goes out. there's an answer in heaven
  • 00:08:35.907 --> 00:08:37.442
  • There's an answer in heaven as soon as he begins to pray.
  • 00:08:37.509 --> 00:08:39.044
  • As soon as he begins to pray. though it takes a little while
  • 00:08:39.110 --> 00:08:40.211
  • Though it takes a little while for him to get the answer.
  • 00:08:40.278 --> 00:08:41.513

  • "seventy weeks are decreed for your people
  • 00:13:34.939 --> 00:13:36.608
  • Decreed for your people and your holy city
  • 00:13:36.674 --> 00:13:37.742
  • And your holy city to finish transgression,"
  • 00:13:37.809 --> 00:13:40.211
  • To finish transgression," listen to this,
  • 00:13:40.278 --> 00:13:40.845
  • Listen to this, "to put an end to sin," amazing,
  • 00:13:40.912 --> 00:13:44.749
  • "to put an end to sin," amazing, "to atone for wickedness,
  • 00:13:44.816 --> 00:13:46.684
  • "to atone for wickedness, to bring in
  • 00:13:46.751 --> 00:13:47.352
  • To bring in everlasting righteousness,
  • 00:13:47.418 --> 00:13:49.821
  • Everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision
  • 00:13:49.888 --> 00:13:51.322
  • To seal up vision and prophecy
  • 00:13:51.389 --> 00:13:52.357
  • And prophecy and to anoint
  • 00:13:52.423 --> 00:13:53.725
  • And to anoint the most holy place."
  • 00:13:53.791 --> 00:13:55.059
  • The most holy place." talk about that.
  • 00:13:55.126 --> 00:13:55.727
  • Talk about that. >> right.
  • 00:13:55.793 --> 00:13:56.294
  • I think we can understand
  • 00:13:56.394 --> 00:13:57.228
  • I think we can understand the context.
  • 00:13:57.295 --> 00:13:58.096
  • The context. people go, "seventy weeks?
  • 00:13:58.162 --> 00:13:59.530
  • People go, "seventy weeks? that's not a lot.
  • 00:13:59.597 --> 00:14:00.131
  • That's not a lot. that's just a little
  • 00:14:00.198 --> 00:14:00.965
  • That's just a little more than a year."
  • 00:14:01.032 --> 00:14:01.566
  • More than a year." we need to understand
  • 00:14:01.633 --> 00:14:02.567
  • We need to understand in the context,
  • 00:14:02.634 --> 00:14:03.468
  • In the context, without going into
  • 00:14:03.534 --> 00:14:04.002
  • Without going into all the details,
  • 00:14:04.068 --> 00:14:04.836
  • All the details, 'cause we don't have time today,
  • 00:14:04.903 --> 00:14:06.671
  • 'cause we don't have time today, that this talking about
  • 00:14:06.738 --> 00:14:07.839
  • That this talking about weeks of years.
  • 00:14:07.906 --> 00:14:09.374
  • Weeks of years. so what we can understand here
  • 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.842
  • So what we can understand here is seventy seven of years, okay?
  • 00:14:10.909 --> 00:14:13.745
  • Is seventy seven of years, okay? so 490 years
  • 00:14:13.811 --> 00:14:15.713
  • So 490 years if i did the math right,
  • 00:14:15.780 --> 00:14:16.981
  • If i did the math right, are decreed for all these
  • 00:14:17.048 --> 00:14:18.683
  • Are decreed for all these things to happen,
  • 00:14:18.750 --> 00:14:19.684
  • Things to happen, to put an end to transgression
  • 00:14:19.751 --> 00:14:21.486
  • To put an end to transgression and sin,
  • 00:14:21.552 --> 00:14:22.153
  • And sin, to atone for wickedness,
  • 00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:23.588
  • To atone for wickedness, and to bring
  • 00:14:23.655 --> 00:14:24.122
  • And to bring everlasting righteous.
  • 00:14:24.188 --> 00:14:25.290
  • Everlasting righteous. and we go,
  • 00:14:25.356 --> 00:14:25.723
  • And we go, "wow okay, 490 year timeline."
  • 00:14:25.790 --> 00:14:27.992
  • "wow okay, 490 year timeline." and then it gets even
  • 00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:29.060
  • And then it gets even more specific.
  • 00:14:29.127 --> 00:14:30.061
  • More specific. remember this is gabriel
  • 00:14:30.128 --> 00:14:31.496
  • Remember this is gabriel bringing the answer
  • 00:14:31.562 --> 00:14:32.563
  • Bringing the answer to daniel's prayer from heaven,
  • 00:14:32.630 --> 00:14:34.666
  • To daniel's prayer from heaven, from the throne room itself.
  • 00:14:34.732 --> 00:14:36.000
  • From the throne room itself. and it says in verse 25,
  • 00:14:36.067 --> 00:14:37.468
  • "know and understand this:
  • 00:14:37.568 --> 00:14:38.937
  • "know and understand this: from the time the word
  • 00:14:39.003 --> 00:14:40.038
  • From the time the word goes out to restore
  • 00:14:40.104 --> 00:14:41.706
  • Goes out to restore and rebuild jerusalem."
  • 00:14:41.773 --> 00:14:44.008
  • And we can pause right there,
  • 00:14:44.108 --> 00:14:45.410
  • And we can pause right there, put a pin in that for a minute.
  • 00:14:45.476 --> 00:14:46.778
  • Put a pin in that for a minute. we understand that that happened
  • 00:14:46.844 --> 00:14:48.513
  • We understand that that happened during the reign
  • 00:14:48.579 --> 00:14:49.314
  • During the reign of darius, okay?
  • 00:14:49.380 --> 00:14:50.715
  • Of darius, okay? so, if we count that
  • 00:14:50.782 --> 00:14:52.083
  • So, if we count that on the year bc
  • 00:14:52.150 --> 00:14:52.984
  • On the year bc when it happened
  • 00:14:53.051 --> 00:14:53.685
  • When it happened and fast forward
  • 00:14:53.751 --> 00:14:54.285
  • And fast forward about 490 years,
  • 00:14:54.352 --> 00:14:56.220
  • About 490 years, it puts us right smacked dab
  • 00:14:56.287 --> 00:14:58.089
  • It puts us right smacked dab during the time
  • 00:14:58.156 --> 00:14:58.790
  • During the time when the historical records
  • 00:14:58.856 --> 00:14:59.958
  • When the historical records confirm that jesus of nazareth,
  • 00:15:00.024 --> 00:15:02.293
  • Confirm that jesus of nazareth, who you and i know is jesus,
  • 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.928
  • Who you and i know is jesus, yeshua, the messiah,
  • 00:15:03.995 --> 00:15:05.229
  • Yeshua, the messiah, the savior of the world,
  • 00:15:05.296 --> 00:15:06.898
  • The savior of the world, the savior of the lost,
  • 00:15:06.965 --> 00:15:07.665
  • The savior of the lost, sheep of the
  • 00:15:07.732 --> 00:15:08.232
  • Sheep of the house of israel...
  • 00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:09.233
  • House of israel... >> just to expound on that,
  • 00:15:09.300 --> 00:15:10.802
  • >> just to expound on that, we have the dates.
  • 00:15:10.868 --> 00:15:12.170
  • We have the dates. we know when the southern
  • 00:15:12.236 --> 00:15:14.305
  • We know when the southern kingdom returned
  • 00:15:14.372 --> 00:15:15.206
  • Kingdom returned from the babylonian captivity --
  • 00:15:15.273 --> 00:15:16.441
  • From the babylonian captivity -- >> and the temple
  • 00:15:16.507 --> 00:15:17.075
  • >> and the temple was rebuilt.
  • 00:15:17.141 --> 00:15:17.675
  • Was rebuilt. >> to rebuild the temple
  • 00:15:17.742 --> 00:15:19.310
  • >> to rebuild the temple and to rebuild jerusalem.
  • 00:15:19.377 --> 00:15:20.411
  • And to rebuild jerusalem. >> exactly.
  • 00:15:20.478 --> 00:15:21.079
  • >> exactly. very specific.
  • 00:15:21.145 --> 00:15:22.280
  • Very specific. not conjecture,
  • 00:15:22.347 --> 00:15:23.481
  • Not conjecture, historic fact.
  • 00:15:23.548 --> 00:15:25.483
  • Historic fact. >> so, we have this
  • 00:15:25.550 --> 00:15:26.217
  • >> so, we have this bookend, okay,
  • 00:15:26.284 --> 00:15:27.318
  • Bookend, okay, that the temple
  • 00:15:27.385 --> 00:15:27.952
  • That the temple is to be rebuilt.
  • 00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:29.020
  • Is to be rebuilt. fast forward 490 years.
  • 00:15:29.087 --> 00:15:30.722
  • Fast forward 490 years. now listen,
  • 00:15:30.788 --> 00:15:31.356
  • Now listen, i'm half way through verse 25.
  • 00:15:31.422 --> 00:15:33.224
  • I'm half way through verse 25. it says,
  • 00:15:33.291 --> 00:15:34.258
  • It says, "from the time the word
  • 00:15:34.325 --> 00:15:35.960
  • "from the time the word goes out to restore
  • 00:15:36.027 --> 00:15:36.961
  • Goes out to restore and rebuild jerusalem
  • 00:15:37.028 --> 00:15:38.029
  • And rebuild jerusalem until the anointed one,
  • 00:15:38.096 --> 00:15:40.231
  • Until the anointed one, the ruler, comes."
  • 00:15:40.298 --> 00:15:42.967
  • The ruler, comes." now, we can pause there again
  • 00:15:43.034 --> 00:15:44.502
  • Now, we can pause there again because some translations,
  • 00:15:44.569 --> 00:15:45.436
  • Because some translations, jonathan, people go,
  • 00:15:45.503 --> 00:15:46.304
  • Jonathan, people go, "okay, the anointed one.
  • 00:15:46.371 --> 00:15:47.572
  • "okay, the anointed one. that means maybe they
  • 00:15:47.638 --> 00:15:48.272
  • That means maybe they have an anointing.
  • 00:15:48.339 --> 00:15:49.207
  • Have an anointing. lots of people have
  • 00:15:49.273 --> 00:15:49.741
  • Lots of people have an anointing."
  • 00:15:49.807 --> 00:15:50.808
  • An anointing." some translations
  • 00:15:50.875 --> 00:15:51.909
  • Some translations of the jewish scriptures say,
  • 00:15:51.976 --> 00:15:53.711
  • Of the jewish scriptures say, "the anointed place."
  • 00:15:53.778 --> 00:15:55.113
  • "the anointed place." and we sorta go to this
  • 00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:55.913
  • And we sorta go to this different direction.
  • 00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.081
  • Different direction. but we need to look
  • 00:15:57.148 --> 00:15:58.449
  • But we need to look at the hebrew word,
  • 00:15:58.516 --> 00:15:59.784
  • At the hebrew word, because remember this
  • 00:15:59.851 --> 00:16:00.551
  • Because remember this is an english translation
  • 00:16:00.618 --> 00:16:01.953
  • Is an english translation of the hebrew bible
  • 00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:03.321
  • Of the hebrew bible written by hebrew
  • 00:16:03.388 --> 00:16:04.155
  • Written by hebrew speaking authors.
  • 00:16:04.222 --> 00:16:05.423
  • Speaking authors. and the word there, jonathan,
  • 00:16:05.490 --> 00:16:06.691
  • And the word there, jonathan, for anointed one is, "mashiach".
  • 00:16:06.758 --> 00:16:10.328
  • For anointed one is, "mashiach". if that doesn't
  • 00:16:10.395 --> 00:16:10.828
  • If that doesn't sound familiar to you,
  • 00:16:10.895 --> 00:16:11.629
  • Sound familiar to you, let me connect
  • 00:16:11.696 --> 00:16:12.163
  • Let me connect the dots, messiah.
  • 00:16:12.230 --> 00:16:14.799
  • The dots, messiah. mashiach is the anointed one.
  • 00:16:14.866 --> 00:16:16.634
  • Mashiach is the anointed one. the only meaning of that word
  • 00:16:16.701 --> 00:16:18.636
  • The only meaning of that word in hebrew is the messiah,
  • 00:16:18.703 --> 00:16:21.339
  • In hebrew is the messiah, the promised one who
  • 00:16:21.406 --> 00:16:22.440
  • The promised one who would save us --
  • 00:16:22.507 --> 00:16:23.174
  • Would save us -- >> and you say,
  • 00:16:23.241 --> 00:16:23.741
  • >> and you say, "well no, jesus is the christ."
  • 00:16:23.808 --> 00:16:25.610
  • "well no, jesus is the christ." well, christ is
  • 00:16:25.676 --> 00:16:27.378
  • Well, christ is the greek, cristos,
  • 00:16:27.445 --> 00:16:29.180
  • The greek, cristos, which comes from mashiach,
  • 00:16:29.247 --> 00:16:30.681
  • Which comes from mashiach, messiah, the anointed one.
  • 00:16:30.748 --> 00:16:32.417
  • Messiah, the anointed one. it's so clear.
  • 00:16:32.483 --> 00:16:33.384
  • It's so clear. >> the temple is to be rebuilt,
  • 00:16:33.451 --> 00:16:35.186
  • "until the messiah,
  • 00:16:35.286 --> 00:16:37.088
  • "until the messiah, the ruler, comes,
  • 00:16:37.155 --> 00:16:38.189
  • The ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,'
  • 00:16:38.256 --> 00:16:39.290
  • There will be seven 'sevens,' sixty--two 'sevens."
  • 00:16:39.357 --> 00:16:40.158
  • Sixty--two 'sevens." so again, just shy of 490 years.
  • 00:16:40.224 --> 00:16:42.493
  • So again, just shy of 490 years. "it will be rebuilt with streets
  • 00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.128
  • "it will be rebuilt with streets and a trench,
  • 00:16:44.195 --> 00:16:44.495
  • And a trench, but in times of trouble."
  • 00:16:44.562 --> 00:16:45.797
  • But in times of trouble." and then listen,
  • 00:16:45.863 --> 00:16:46.397
  • And then listen, "after the sixty--two 'sevens,'"
  • 00:16:46.464 --> 00:16:47.865
  • "after the sixty--two 'sevens,'" after this period of time.,
  • 00:16:47.932 --> 00:16:49.400
  • After this period of time., again, "the messiah will be
  • 00:16:49.467 --> 00:16:51.636
  • Again, "the messiah will be put to death --
  • 00:16:51.702 --> 00:16:54.272
  • Put to death -- the messiah will be put
  • 00:16:54.338 --> 00:16:55.640
  • The messiah will be put to death and will have nothing."
  • 00:16:55.706 --> 00:16:58.176
  • To death and will have nothing." and then,
  • 00:16:58.242 --> 00:17:00.111
  • And then, "the people of the ruler,"
  • 00:17:00.178 --> 00:17:01.479
  • "the people of the ruler," and we understand this
  • 00:17:01.546 --> 00:17:02.313
  • And we understand this contextually in history
  • 00:17:02.380 --> 00:17:03.481
  • Contextually in history to be the roman empire,
  • 00:17:03.548 --> 00:17:05.817
  • To be the roman empire, "will come to destroy the city
  • 00:17:05.883 --> 00:17:08.119
  • "will come to destroy the city and the sanctuary.

  • And the sanctuary. and the end will come
  • 00:17:09.454 --> 00:17:09.987
  • And the end will come like a flood."
  • 00:17:10.054 --> 00:17:11.189
  • We have a bookend of when darius
  • 00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:12.790
  • We have a bookend of when darius said the temple is to be rebuilt
  • 00:17:12.857 --> 00:17:14.692
  • Said the temple is to be rebuilt and we have bookend of 70 a.d.
  • 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.562
  • And we have bookend of 70 a.d. historical record,

  • When the roman empire destroyed the temple

  • In jerusalem, and within this period
  • 00:17:24.936 --> 00:17:26.037
  • And within this period of time,
  • 00:17:26.104 --> 00:17:26.938
  • Of time, the messiah,
  • 00:17:27.004 --> 00:17:28.106
  • The messiah, the anointed one would come
  • 00:17:28.172 --> 00:17:29.774
  • The anointed one would come and would die,
  • 00:17:29.841 --> 00:17:30.808
  • And would die, but not for himself.
  • 00:17:30.875 --> 00:17:33.277
  • But not for himself. >> it's so clear,

  • >> it's so clear, it's just mind boggling.

  • So, now we have the specific date

  • The specific date for the coming of the messiah
  • 00:17:41.352 --> 00:17:43.654
  • For the coming of the messiah and the death of the messiah,
  • 00:17:43.721 --> 00:17:46.023
  • And the death of the messiah, and the statement,
  • 00:17:46.090 --> 00:17:46.958
  • And the statement, "he won't die for himself."
  • 00:17:47.024 --> 00:17:48.392
  • "he won't die for himself." >> exactly.

  • >> he won't die for his own sins.
  • 00:17:49.527 --> 00:17:52.096
  • For his own sins. it's absolutely
  • 00:17:52.163 --> 00:17:55.533
  • It's absolutely mind-blowingly clear
  • 00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:57.869
  • Mind-blowingly clear that he's going to die before
  • 00:17:57.935 --> 00:18:00.605
  • That he's going to die before the destruction
  • 00:18:00.671 --> 00:18:01.405
  • The destruction of the second temple.
  • 00:18:01.472 --> 00:18:03.107
  • Of the second temple. absolutely clear.

  • And notice it says, "the rule --
  • 00:18:06.043 --> 00:18:06.844
  • "the rule -- the kingdom that comes will

  • And jerusalem." exactly what happened,
  • 00:18:12.150 --> 00:18:13.384
  • Exactly what happened, and we have
  • 00:18:13.451 --> 00:18:13.818
  • And we have the archaeological remains.
  • 00:18:13.885 --> 00:18:15.386
  • The archaeological remains. >> sure, and what's so
  • 00:18:15.453 --> 00:18:16.320
  • >> sure, and what's so interesting to me jonathan is
  • 00:18:16.387 --> 00:18:17.955
  • Interesting to me jonathan is that the majority
  • 00:18:18.022 --> 00:18:18.623
  • That the majority of the jewish community --
  • 00:18:18.689 --> 00:18:20.958
  • Of the jewish community -- family members of ours,

  • And the world is still waiting
  • 00:18:24.228 --> 00:18:25.463
  • Is still waiting for the messiah to come.
  • 00:18:25.530 --> 00:18:27.465
  • For the messiah to come. there is belief that a messiah,
  • 00:18:27.532 --> 00:18:29.300
  • There is belief that a messiah, a conquering king will come
  • 00:18:29.367 --> 00:18:31.402
  • A conquering king will come to save israel,
  • 00:18:31.469 --> 00:18:32.503
  • To save israel, to redeem the jewish people
  • 00:18:32.570 --> 00:18:33.504
  • To redeem the jewish people one day,
  • 00:18:33.571 --> 00:18:34.639
  • One day, to rule over the nations
  • 00:18:34.705 --> 00:18:35.506
  • To rule over the nations of the earth.
  • 00:18:35.573 --> 00:18:36.908
  • Of the earth. but most jewish people
  • 00:18:36.974 --> 00:18:37.775
  • But most jewish people in the world
  • 00:18:37.842 --> 00:18:38.309
  • In the world are still waiting
  • 00:18:38.376 --> 00:18:38.776
  • Are still waiting for him to come
  • 00:18:38.843 --> 00:18:39.510
  • For him to come and yet, what do we do
  • 00:18:39.577 --> 00:18:40.845
  • And yet, what do we do with these passage?
  • 00:18:40.912 --> 00:18:42.346
  • With these passage? that between king darius
  • 00:18:42.413 --> 00:18:44.282
  • That between king darius and 70 a.d.,
  • 00:18:44.348 --> 00:18:46.017
  • And 70 a.d., the messiah would come
  • 00:18:46.083 --> 00:18:47.552
  • The messiah would come and would die,

  • And would die, but not for himself.
  • 00:18:48.686 --> 00:18:49.921
  • But not for himself. it's right here in
  • 00:18:49.987 --> 00:18:50.721
  • It's right here in the old testament scriptures.
  • 00:18:50.788 --> 00:18:52.690
  • The old testament scriptures. >> literally not for his

  • >> literally not for his own iniquities.
  • 00:18:53.624 --> 00:18:55.059
  • Own iniquities. he would be cut off,
  • 00:18:55.126 --> 00:18:57.495
  • He would be cut off, but not for himself.
  • 00:18:57.562 --> 00:18:58.963
  • But not for himself. >> sure.
  • 00:18:59.030 --> 00:18:59.964
  • >> sure. >> and it's dated specifically
  • 00:19:00.031 --> 00:19:04.368
  • >> and it's dated specifically to a set time in history
  • 00:19:04.435 --> 00:19:06.671
  • To a set time in history that we have all
  • 00:19:06.737 --> 00:19:07.705

  • Records happened. >> exactly.
  • 00:19:11.509 --> 00:19:12.176
  • >> exactly. >> yeah, you want proof.
  • 00:19:12.243 --> 00:19:13.211
  • >> yeah, you want proof. >> yeah, and you know,
  • 00:19:13.277 --> 00:19:16.380
  • >> yeah, and you know, going back to verse 24, right?
  • 00:19:16.447 --> 00:19:17.114
  • Going back to verse 24, right? why did he die,
  • 00:19:17.181 --> 00:19:17.615
  • Why did he die, but not for himself?
  • 00:19:17.682 --> 00:19:18.316
  • But not for himself? you already read it,
  • 00:19:18.382 --> 00:19:19.150
  • You already read it, "to put an end to transgression
  • 00:19:19.217 --> 00:19:21.085
  • "to put an end to transgression and sin,
  • 00:19:21.152 --> 00:19:21.953
  • And sin, to atone for wickedness,
  • 00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:24.021
  • To atone for wickedness, and to bring in
  • 00:19:24.088 --> 00:19:24.589
  • And to bring in everlasting righteousness.
  • 00:19:24.655 --> 00:19:26.090
  • Everlasting righteousness. "behold the lamb of god,"
  • 00:19:26.157 --> 00:19:27.558
  • "behold the lamb of god," john, the baptist said.
  • 00:19:27.625 --> 00:19:29.093
  • John, the baptist said. yohanan in hebrew,
  • 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.361
  • Yohanan in hebrew, "who takes away the sin

  • "who takes away the sin of the world."
  • 00:19:31.629 --> 00:19:33.130
  • Of the world." john understood.
  • 00:19:33.197 --> 00:19:34.799
  • John understood. so many of the writers
  • 00:19:34.865 --> 00:19:35.933
  • So many of the writers of the new testament understood.
  • 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.168
  • Of the new testament understood. paul's eyes were opened
  • 00:19:37.235 --> 00:19:38.469
  • Paul's eyes were opened on the damascus road,
  • 00:19:38.536 --> 00:19:39.570
  • On the damascus road, to understand jesus
  • 00:19:39.637 --> 00:19:41.272
  • To understand jesus is one we've been waiting for.
  • 00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:43.074
  • Is one we've been waiting for. he came to fulfill everything
  • 00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:44.675
  • He came to fulfill everything the prophet spoke.
  • 00:19:44.742 --> 00:19:46.744
  • The prophet spoke. >> ezra, the clarity of this
  • 00:19:46.811 --> 00:19:48.846
  • >> ezra, the clarity of this raises the same question that we
  • 00:19:48.913 --> 00:19:51.015
  • Raises the same question that we talked about with isaiah 53.
  • 00:19:51.082 --> 00:19:54.118
  • Talked about with isaiah 53. why don't the jewish people
  • 00:19:54.185 --> 00:19:57.088
  • Why don't the jewish people see this?
  • 00:19:57.154 --> 00:19:58.689
  • See this? and the answer is spiritual.
  • 00:19:58.756 --> 00:20:00.558
  • And the answer is spiritual. it is spiritual.
  • 00:20:00.625 --> 00:20:02.426
  • It is spiritual. >> i think we have to remember
  • 00:20:02.493 --> 00:20:04.228
  • >> i think we have to remember that it's spiritual because
  • 00:20:04.295 --> 00:20:05.329
  • That it's spiritual because otherwise as believers we can
  • 00:20:05.396 --> 00:20:07.698
  • Otherwise as believers we can take our faith for granted,
  • 00:20:07.765 --> 00:20:09.900
  • Take our faith for granted, can't we?
  • 00:20:09.967 --> 00:20:10.835
  • Can't we? and we can take a critical eye
  • 00:20:10.901 --> 00:20:12.637
  • And we can take a critical eye back to the jewish community
  • 00:20:12.703 --> 00:20:13.838
  • Back to the jewish community or to anyone who doesn't believe
  • 00:20:13.904 --> 00:20:15.139
  • Or to anyone who doesn't believe and say, "how can --
  • 00:20:15.206 --> 00:20:16.073
  • And say, "how can -- how come they can't see?
  • 00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:16.974
  • How come they can't see? it's so clear.
  • 00:20:17.041 --> 00:20:18.075
  • It's so clear. it's right here in the jewish
  • 00:20:18.142 --> 00:20:18.876
  • It's right here in the jewish people's own scriptures.
  • 00:20:18.943 --> 00:20:19.777
  • People's own scriptures. it's in black and white."
  • 00:20:19.844 --> 00:20:21.646
  • It's in black and white." but it's a spiritual issue.
  • 00:20:21.712 --> 00:20:23.214
  • But it's a spiritual issue. it's a blindness over our eyes,
  • 00:20:23.281 --> 00:20:25.182
  • It's a blindness over our eyes, it's a callousness over
  • 00:20:25.249 --> 00:20:26.050
  • It's a callousness over our heart as paul says,
  • 00:20:26.117 --> 00:20:27.952
  • Our heart as paul says, until it's removed.
  • 00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:29.520
  • Until it's removed. and yet god promised
  • 00:20:29.587 --> 00:20:30.354
  • And yet god promised it can be removed.
  • 00:20:30.421 --> 00:20:31.589
  • It can be removed. >> sadly, compounded by a 2000
  • 00:20:31.656 --> 00:20:34.358
  • >> sadly, compounded by a 2000 year legacy of hatred
  • 00:20:34.425 --> 00:20:37.895
  • Year legacy of hatred and ultimately genocide,
  • 00:20:37.962 --> 00:20:40.531
  • And ultimately genocide, in the name of christ.
  • 00:20:40.598 --> 00:20:42.733
  • In the name of christ. you have the nazis that actually
  • 00:20:42.800 --> 00:20:46.037
  • You have the nazis that actually killed jewish people believing
  • 00:20:46.103 --> 00:20:48.005
  • Killed jewish people believing that they were doing
  • 00:20:48.072 --> 00:20:48.773
  • That they were doing god's bidding,
  • 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:50.007
  • God's bidding, with a cross on their uniform.
  • 00:20:50.074 --> 00:20:53.411
  • With a cross on their uniform. so, this is a misconception
  • 00:20:53.477 --> 00:20:55.913
  • So, this is a misconception and we have to make this right.
  • 00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:59.483
  • And we have to make this right. we have to demonstrate
  • 00:20:59.550 --> 00:21:01.419
  • We have to demonstrate as true believers and this
  • 00:21:01.485 --> 00:21:03.054
  • As true believers and this responsibility rests on you.
  • 00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:05.289
  • Responsibility rests on you. demonstrate that god loves
  • 00:21:05.356 --> 00:21:09.527
  • Demonstrate that god loves the jewish people.
  • 00:21:09.593 --> 00:21:11.295
  • The jewish people. that he has not held them
  • 00:21:11.362 --> 00:21:14.131
  • That he has not held them eternally responsible
  • 00:21:14.198 --> 00:21:16.200
  • Eternally responsible for the death of the messiah.
  • 00:21:16.267 --> 00:21:18.202
  • For the death of the messiah. yeshua, jesus came
  • 00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:20.037
  • Yeshua, jesus came for his own people.
  • 00:21:20.104 --> 00:21:21.005
  • For his own people. he came for the world, yes,
  • 00:21:21.072 --> 00:21:22.673
  • He came for the world, yes, but his earthly ministry
  • 00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:23.808
  • But his earthly ministry was to his own people.
  • 00:21:23.874 --> 00:21:25.676
  • Was to his own people. and this is just so critical
  • 00:21:25.743 --> 00:21:27.044
  • And this is just so critical to understand,
  • 00:21:27.111 --> 00:21:28.479
  • To understand, there is blindness covering
  • 00:21:28.546 --> 00:21:30.414
  • There is blindness covering the eyes of the jewish people,
  • 00:21:30.481 --> 00:21:32.049
  • The eyes of the jewish people, until you provoke
  • 00:21:32.116 --> 00:21:33.718
  • Until you provoke them to jealousy,
  • 00:21:33.784 --> 00:21:35.386
  • Them to jealousy, until you proclaim the word.
  • 00:21:35.453 --> 00:21:37.188
  • Until you proclaim the word. because faith cometh by hearing,
  • 00:21:37.254 --> 00:21:39.290
  • Because faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of god.
  • 00:21:39.357 --> 00:21:40.925
  • And hearing by the word of god. so, you carry a responsibility
  • 00:21:40.991 --> 00:21:43.394
  • So, you carry a responsibility and i encourage you,
  • 00:21:43.461 --> 00:21:44.395
  • And i encourage you, pick up that responsibility,
  • 00:21:44.462 --> 00:21:46.697
  • Pick up that responsibility, proclaim the gospel in love
  • 00:21:46.764 --> 00:21:48.599
  • Proclaim the gospel in love and demonstrate the love
  • 00:21:48.666 --> 00:21:50.468
  • And demonstrate the love of god to that jewish person
  • 00:21:50.534 --> 00:21:52.570
  • Of god to that jewish person in your life.
  • 00:21:52.636 --> 00:21:53.371
  • In your life. they're not there by accident.
  • 00:21:53.437 --> 00:21:55.072
  • They're not there by accident. >> yeah, you know,

  • >> yeah, you know, i've heard it said,
  • 00:21:56.474 --> 00:21:57.007
  • I've heard it said, "we can't do god's part

  • "we can't do god's part and god won't do ours."
  • 00:21:58.442 --> 00:21:59.844
  • And god won't do ours." god's part is to remove
  • 00:21:59.910 --> 00:22:01.746
  • God's part is to remove by that gift of faith,
  • 00:22:01.812 --> 00:22:02.847
  • By that gift of faith, the blinders.
  • 00:22:02.913 --> 00:22:03.614
  • The blinders. our part,

  • Our part, your part,
  • 00:22:04.281 --> 00:22:05.883
  • Your part, is to provoke the jewish people
  • 00:22:05.950 --> 00:22:07.151
  • Is to provoke the jewish people by jealousy by proclaiming
  • 00:22:07.218 --> 00:22:08.586
  • By jealousy by proclaiming the good news
  • 00:22:08.652 --> 00:22:09.286
  • The good news of the jewish messiah.
  • 00:22:09.353 --> 00:22:11.021
