- 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,
- 00:07:48.660 --> 00:07:50.395
- This is daniel 9:20, "confessing my sin
- 00:07:50.462 --> 00:07:51.563
- "confessing my sin and the sin of my people israel
- 00:07:51.630 --> 00:07:52.697
- And the sin of my people israel and making my request
- 00:07:52.764 --> 00:07:53.398
- And making my request to the lord my god
- 00:07:53.465 --> 00:07:54.399
- To the lord my god for his holy hill--"
- 00:07:54.466 --> 00:07:55.634
- For his holy hill--" listen, "while i was still
- 00:07:55.700 --> 00:07:56.835
- Listen, "while i was still in prayer, gabriel,
- 00:07:56.902 --> 00:07:59.170
- In prayer, gabriel, the man i had seen
- 00:07:59.237 --> 00:08:00.105
- The man i had seen in the earlier vision,
- 00:08:00.171 --> 00:08:01.072
- 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,
- 00:08:04.576 --> 00:08:05.277
- And he said, "daniel, i have now come
- 00:08:05.343 --> 00:08:06.811
- "daniel, i have now come to give you insight
- 00:08:06.878 --> 00:08:07.512
- To give you insight and understanding."
- 00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:08.380
- 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 --
- 00:08:09.915 --> 00:08:11.483
- Of my favorite verses -- my favorite verses.
- 00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:12.417
- My favorite verses. so, applicable to all of us.
- 00:08:12.484 --> 00:08:14.185
- So, applicable to all of us. it says in verse 23,
- 00:08:14.252 --> 00:08:15.353
- It says in verse 23, "as soon as you began to pray,
- 00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.656
- "as soon as you began to pray, daniel, a word went out,
- 00:08:17.722 --> 00:08:20.025
- Daniel, a word went out, which i have come to tell you,
- 00:08:20.091 --> 00:08:21.159
- Which i have come to tell you, now because you are
- 00:08:21.226 --> 00:08:22.327
- Now because you are highly favored.
- 00:08:22.394 --> 00:08:23.628
- Highly favored. therefore, consider the word
- 00:08:23.695 --> 00:08:24.696
- Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision."
- 00:08:24.763 --> 00:08:25.664
- 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,
- 00:08:30.302 --> 00:08:32.170
- "lord, we've sinned before you, but would you favor us?"
- 00:08:32.237 --> 00:08:33.538
- But would you favor us?" as soon as he begins to ask,
- 00:08:33.605 --> 00:08:34.506
- 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
- For him to get the answer. >> i think that's true
- 00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:42.247
- >> i think that's true of so many of our prayers,
- 00:08:42.314 --> 00:08:43.882
- Of so many of our prayers, i really do.
- 00:08:43.949 --> 00:08:45.383
- I really do. god hears it instantly,
- 00:08:45.450 --> 00:08:46.685
- God hears it instantly, and there's ----
- 00:08:46.751 --> 00:08:47.452
- And there's ---- but there is warfare.
- 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.387
- But there is warfare. we are dealing
- 00:08:49.454 --> 00:08:50.322
- We are dealing with principalities,
- 00:08:50.388 --> 00:08:52.290
- With principalities, with spiritual wickedness
- 00:08:52.357 --> 00:08:53.525
- With spiritual wickedness in high places,
- 00:08:53.592 --> 00:08:55.427
- In high places, that has an assignment
- 00:08:55.493 --> 00:08:56.928
- That has an assignment to stop your prayers
- 00:08:56.995 --> 00:08:58.396
- To stop your prayers from being answered.
- 00:08:58.463 --> 00:08:59.431
- From being answered. they are heard and there
- 00:08:59.497 --> 00:09:01.433
- They are heard and there is a dispatched answer
- 00:09:01.499 --> 00:09:03.902
- Is a dispatched answer to your prayer,
- 00:09:03.969 --> 00:09:05.804

- 00:13:59.597 --> 00:14:00.131

- 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.
- 00:17:08.186 --> 00:17:09.387
- 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,
- 00:17:17.628 --> 00:17:18.696
- Historical record, look it up anywhere,
- 00:17:18.763 --> 00:17:19.430
- Look it up anywhere, wikipedia, google,
- 00:17:19.497 --> 00:17:21.132
- Wikipedia, google, when the roman empire
- 00:17:21.199 --> 00:17:22.633
- When the roman empire destroyed the temple
- 00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.568
- Destroyed the temple in jerusalem,
- 00:17:23.634 --> 00:17:24.869
- 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,
- 00:17:33.344 --> 00:17:34.512
- >> it's so clear, it's just mind boggling.
- 00:17:34.579 --> 00:17:36.047
- It's just mind boggling. it's so clear.
- 00:17:36.114 --> 00:17:37.281
- It's so clear. so, now we have
- 00:17:37.348 --> 00:17:39.350
- So, now we have the specific date
- 00:17:39.417 --> 00:17:41.285
- 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.
- 00:17:48.459 --> 00:17:48.759
- >> exactly. >> he won't die
- 00:17:48.826 --> 00:17:49.460
- >> 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.
- 00:18:03.174 --> 00:18:04.809
- Absolutely clear. and notice it says,
- 00:18:04.876 --> 00:18:05.977
- And notice it says, "the rule --
- 00:18:06.043 --> 00:18:06.844
- "the rule -- the kingdom that comes will
- 00:18:06.911 --> 00:18:08.980
- The kingdom that comes will destroy the temple
- 00:18:09.046 --> 00:18:10.448
- Destroy the temple and jerusalem."
- 00:18:10.515 --> 00:18:12.083
- 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,
- 00:18:21.025 --> 00:18:22.160
- Family members of ours, the religious jewish community,
- 00:18:22.226 --> 00:18:23.427
- The religious jewish community, and the world
- 00:18:23.494 --> 00:18:24.162
- 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

- 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,
- 00:18:47.618 --> 00:18:48.619
- 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
- 00:18:52.757 --> 00:18:53.558
- >> 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
- That we have all of the historical records
- 00:19:07.772 --> 00:19:09.240

- 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
- 00:19:30.428 --> 00:19:31.562
- "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,
- 00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:56.407
- >> 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
- 00:21:57.074 --> 00:21:58.376
- "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,
- 00:22:03.681 --> 00:22:04.215
- 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
- Of the jewish messiah. >> this is the message that

- 00:22:12.423 --> 00:22:13.324
- You can bring to your jewish friends,
