  • "eating your way to wholeness:

  • A practical guide to the holy communion."
  • 00:00:37.646 --> 00:00:40.048
  • Joseph prince: the cross is the place where everything,
  • 00:00:42.784 --> 00:00:47.156
  • All the attributes of god, met.
  • 00:00:47.156 --> 00:00:51.126
  • God is love.
  • 00:00:51.126 --> 00:00:52.528
  • You see it at the cross.
  • 00:00:52.528 --> 00:00:53.996
  • God is just.
  • 00:00:53.996 --> 00:00:55.330
  • You see it at the cross. god is light, amen.
  • 00:00:55.330 --> 00:00:58.433
  • God has inflexible righteousness, amen,
  • 00:00:58.433 --> 00:01:02.771
  • Holiness, unbending holiness, amen?
  • 00:01:02.771 --> 00:01:07.075
  • So, how do you see all these attributes
  • 00:01:07.075 --> 00:01:08.710
  • At one time?
  • 00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:10.045
  • God's love, god's righteousness? at the cross.
  • 00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:12.014
  • God is love.
  • 00:01:12.014 --> 00:01:13.615
  • The bible defines god as love. but god is just.
  • 00:01:13.615 --> 00:01:16.552
  • So at the cross, you see his love,
  • 00:01:16.552 --> 00:01:17.886
  • You see his justice, because his justice,
  • 00:01:17.886 --> 00:01:19.588
  • You see jesus being punished,
  • 00:01:19.588 --> 00:01:20.923
  • The son that he loved being punished,
  • 00:01:20.923 --> 00:01:23.325
  • But jesus did no sin.
  • 00:01:23.325 --> 00:01:24.660
  • In him is no sin. he knew no sin.
  • 00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:26.428
  • But why was he punished?
  • 00:01:26.428 --> 00:01:27.763
  • Because he was carrying our sins.
  • 00:01:27.763 --> 00:01:30.098
  • So you see god's judgment, god did not say,
  • 00:01:30.098 --> 00:01:31.900
  • "oh, he's my son.
  • 00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:33.235
  • Okay, boys will be boys, never mind.
  • 00:01:33.235 --> 00:01:34.570
  • I sweep everything under the carpet."
  • 00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:35.904
  • No, because he was carrying our sins,
  • 00:01:35.904 --> 00:01:38.307
  • Your sins and my sins, he was punished,
  • 00:01:38.307 --> 00:01:42.611
  • He was judged.
  • 00:01:42.611 --> 00:01:46.381
  • He was cursed that you might be blessed.
  • 00:01:46.381 --> 00:01:48.784
  • He was rejected that you might be accepted, amen?
  • 00:01:48.784 --> 00:01:52.321
  • He wore a crown of thorns so that you and i today
  • 00:01:52.321 --> 00:01:54.423
  • Can have the peace of god guarding our hearts and minds.
  • 00:01:54.423 --> 00:01:59.628
  • Amen, people?
  • 00:01:59.628 --> 00:02:01.096
  • So, at the cross, you see god's love.
  • 00:02:01.096 --> 00:02:04.066
  • Announcer: does reading the bible feel difficult
  • 00:02:04.132 --> 00:02:06.268
  • Or confusing?
  • 00:02:06.268 --> 00:02:07.703
  • What if you read it as a love letter from god,
  • 00:02:07.703 --> 00:02:10.038
  • Written just for you?
  • 00:02:10.038 --> 00:02:12.107
  • In today's message, joseph reveals
  • 00:02:12.107 --> 00:02:14.076
  • How every page of the bible points to our lord jesus
  • 00:02:14.076 --> 00:02:17.512
  • And the amazing love he has for you and your family.
  • 00:02:17.512 --> 00:02:21.183
  • Have you ever opened the bible looking for answers,
  • 00:02:21.183 --> 00:02:23.752
  • Only to feel confused, overwhelmed,
  • 00:02:23.752 --> 00:02:26.088
  • And not quite sure where to begin?
  • 00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:28.290
  • What if there's a better way?
  • 00:02:28.290 --> 00:02:29.825
  • Stop looking for answers.
  • 00:02:29.825 --> 00:02:31.493
  • Start looking for jesus.
  • 00:02:31.493 --> 00:02:33.428

  • And now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:03:09.231 --> 00:03:11.600
  • With today's program.
  • 00:03:11.600 --> 00:03:12.968
  • Joseph prince: hebrews 1:3,
  • 00:03:13.035 --> 00:03:14.369
  • As you bring the ark out, please.
  • 00:03:14.369 --> 00:03:16.204
  • "who being the brightness"-- jesus is god's son--
  • 00:03:16.204 --> 00:03:19.808
  • "who being the brightness of his glory."
  • 00:03:19.808 --> 00:03:22.077
  • Everyone say "brightness of his glory."
  • 00:03:22.077 --> 00:03:25.213
  • And now say "and the express image of his person."
  • 00:03:25.213 --> 00:03:27.883
  • Say "the express image of his person."
  • 00:03:27.883 --> 00:03:30.385
  • Now, the brightness of his glory is the goal.
  • 00:03:30.385 --> 00:03:33.021
  • Jesus is the brightness of god's glory.
  • 00:03:33.021 --> 00:03:35.390
  • You wanna see god? look at jesus.
  • 00:03:35.390 --> 00:03:38.226
  • He is the brightness, the outraying of god's glory.
  • 00:03:38.226 --> 00:03:41.296
  • You cannot look at god's glory
  • 00:03:41.296 --> 00:03:42.798
  • Anymore than you can look at god's created glory,
  • 00:03:42.798 --> 00:03:46.401
  • All right, the sun.
  • 00:03:46.401 --> 00:03:48.470
  • And it's only created.
  • 00:03:48.470 --> 00:03:50.272
  • But can your eye look at the sun for some time?
  • 00:03:50.272 --> 00:03:52.341
  • No, no way, amen.
  • 00:03:52.341 --> 00:03:54.576
  • So likewise, no one can see god's glory,
  • 00:03:54.576 --> 00:03:56.611
  • But jesus came, became visible,
  • 00:03:56.611 --> 00:03:59.081
  • And he was the outraying of god's glory.
  • 00:03:59.081 --> 00:04:01.883
  • So that's gold without, gold outside.
  • 00:04:01.883 --> 00:04:04.886
  • And then, the bible says, "he's the express image,"
  • 00:04:04.886 --> 00:04:08.690
  • The exact.
  • 00:04:08.690 --> 00:04:10.959
  • In fact, one translation, one definition says
  • 00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:13.261
  • "facsimile," all right?
  • 00:04:13.261 --> 00:04:14.663
  • Exact, express image of his person, god's person.
  • 00:04:14.663 --> 00:04:18.400
  • You wanna know what god is like?
  • 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:20.235
  • Look at jesus.
  • 00:04:20.235 --> 00:04:21.570
  • "he is the brightness of his glory," gold outside,
  • 00:04:21.570 --> 00:04:23.872
  • "the express image of his person," gold within.
  • 00:04:23.872 --> 00:04:26.241
  • Don't forget the wood in between, amen?
  • 00:04:26.241 --> 00:04:28.643
  • He was cut off in the prime of his days, amen?
  • 00:04:28.643 --> 00:04:31.146
  • Wood, completely man, completely god.
  • 00:04:31.146 --> 00:04:35.984
  • The god-man, jesus christ.
  • 00:04:35.984 --> 00:04:38.053
  • "and upholding all things by the word of his power."
  • 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.355
  • Do you all see this crown?
  • 00:04:40.355 --> 00:04:41.757
  • It's literally got crowns all across, amen?
  • 00:04:41.757 --> 00:04:45.627
  • He who was once crowned with the crown of thorns
  • 00:04:45.627 --> 00:04:49.431
  • Is now in heaven, crowned with glory.
  • 00:04:49.431 --> 00:04:53.068
  • And he crowns you with loving-kindness
  • 00:04:53.068 --> 00:04:55.504
  • And tender mercies, amen.
  • 00:04:55.504 --> 00:04:58.006
  • So that crown there is this one here:
  • 00:04:58.006 --> 00:05:00.809
  • "upholding all things by the word of his power."
  • 00:05:00.809 --> 00:05:04.746
  • That's kingly power.
  • 00:05:04.746 --> 00:05:07.215
  • Upholding all things by the word of his power
  • 00:05:07.215 --> 00:05:09.584
  • Is this crown.
  • 00:05:09.584 --> 00:05:10.919
  • "then when he had by himself purged our sins,
  • 00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:14.289
  • Sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high."
  • 00:05:14.289 --> 00:05:17.325
  • Blood is put on the mercy seat once a year, amen,
  • 00:05:17.325 --> 00:05:21.296
  • And that is when he had, by himself, purged our sins.
  • 00:05:21.296 --> 00:05:24.633
  • So the mercy seat is him purging our sins,
  • 00:05:24.633 --> 00:05:29.738
  • Washing us from our sins, in his blood.
  • 00:05:29.738 --> 00:05:32.941
  • Some people have this idea that jesus,
  • 00:05:32.941 --> 00:05:34.676
  • Because he's god's son, he sat down.
  • 00:05:34.676 --> 00:05:36.578
  • No, his right to sit down is because he has done
  • 00:05:36.578 --> 00:05:39.614
  • A perfect work in putting away our sins.
  • 00:05:39.614 --> 00:05:43.585
  • Read your bible.
  • 00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:46.788
  • "when he had by himself purged our sins," sat down.
  • 00:05:46.788 --> 00:05:50.125
  • The priests in the old testament never sat down.
  • 00:05:50.125 --> 00:05:53.028
  • One thing, they'd have a table of showbread,
  • 00:05:53.028 --> 00:05:54.863
  • But they'd never have a chair,
  • 00:05:54.863 --> 00:05:57.899
  • Because their work is never finished.
  • 00:05:57.899 --> 00:06:00.869
  • But when jesus came, he finished his work.
  • 00:06:00.869 --> 00:06:06.842
  • He sat down.
  • 00:06:06.842 --> 00:06:08.977
  • The fact that jesus is seated means
  • 00:06:08.977 --> 00:06:10.779
  • Your sins have been efficaciously put away--
  • 00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:16.051
  • When god says, "god set forth jesus
  • 00:06:16.051 --> 00:06:17.986
  • To be a propitiation," very big word,
  • 00:06:17.986 --> 00:06:20.522
  • But it actually means a mercy seat,
  • 00:06:20.522 --> 00:06:23.058
  • Because the greek version, the septuagint,
  • 00:06:23.058 --> 00:06:25.260
  • In the old testament, whenever he mentions
  • 00:06:25.260 --> 00:06:27.295
  • The ark of the covenant, he calls the mercy seat,
  • 00:06:27.295 --> 00:06:30.866
  • All right, in the greek, hilasterion.
  • 00:06:30.866 --> 00:06:33.502
  • The same word used, mercy seat in romans 3,
  • 00:06:33.502 --> 00:06:36.738
  • "god sent jesus to be a hilasterion."
  • 00:06:36.738 --> 00:06:39.274
  • Jesus is the mercy seat.
  • 00:06:39.274 --> 00:06:40.709
  • He is the ark of the covenant.
  • 00:06:40.709 --> 00:06:43.712
  • And we learned that the ark is made of a box of wood,
  • 00:06:43.712 --> 00:06:47.549
  • Acacia wood.
  • 00:06:47.549 --> 00:06:49.050
  • Do you know that acacia wood, like cedar wood,
  • 00:06:49.050 --> 00:06:51.853
  • Is impervious to termites?
  • 00:06:51.853 --> 00:06:54.956
  • Termites cannot bore a hole into it, no?
  • 00:06:54.956 --> 00:06:58.960
  • It is immune to all kinds of diseases
  • 00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:02.430
  • That will attack trees, other trees.
  • 00:07:02.430 --> 00:07:05.367
  • Therefore, the illustration of acacia wood is used
  • 00:07:05.367 --> 00:07:07.969
  • For incorruptibility.
  • 00:07:07.969 --> 00:07:09.771
  • And wood in the bible is always mankind.
  • 00:07:09.771 --> 00:07:12.173
  • "all the trees of the field will clap their hands," mankind.
  • 00:07:12.173 --> 00:07:15.076
  • So jesus was like a tender plant,
  • 00:07:15.076 --> 00:07:17.112
  • Growing in a moral morass,
  • 00:07:17.112 --> 00:07:18.980
  • A place where everything was muddy,
  • 00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:21.483
  • And it was dirty and unclean,
  • 00:07:21.483 --> 00:07:24.185
  • And this beautiful tender plant grew up to be a tree.
  • 00:07:24.185 --> 00:07:27.022
  • But in the prime of his life, he was cut off.
  • 00:07:27.022 --> 00:07:30.692
  • He was cut off to prepare a mercy seat,
  • 00:07:30.692 --> 00:07:33.762
  • Ark of the covenant, and it was carved into shape,
  • 00:07:33.762 --> 00:07:37.799
  • Into a box, acacia wood.
  • 00:07:37.799 --> 00:07:40.735
  • The wood speaks of jesus's humanity, amen.
  • 00:07:40.735 --> 00:07:44.940
  • So jesus became a man, why?
  • 00:07:44.940 --> 00:07:47.943
  • So that this wooden box, all right, will be overlaid
  • 00:07:47.943 --> 00:07:51.212
  • With gold, overlaid with gold.
  • 00:07:51.212 --> 00:07:53.181
  • Gold within and gold without.
  • 00:07:53.181 --> 00:07:54.716
  • Not only the gold is outside,
  • 00:07:54.716 --> 00:07:56.952
  • The gold is inside, the inner side.
  • 00:07:56.952 --> 00:07:59.421
  • Gold outside, gold inside. gold without, gold within.
  • 00:07:59.421 --> 00:08:03.658
  • In between the wood.
  • 00:08:03.658 --> 00:08:05.727
  • That means jesus is 100% man and 100% god.
  • 00:08:05.727 --> 00:08:10.532
  • Because he's 100% man, he sat where you sat.
  • 00:08:10.532 --> 00:08:13.902
  • You feel tired, he feels tired, amen?
  • 00:08:13.902 --> 00:08:16.705
  • You feel thirsty, you feel hungry, he felt it.
  • 00:08:16.705 --> 00:08:19.140
  • All the gamut of human emotions, jesus felt it,
  • 00:08:19.140 --> 00:08:23.712
  • Without sin, amen?
  • 00:08:23.712 --> 00:08:25.480
  • But we feel something, but we don't have the power.
  • 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.383
  • But because he's 100% god, he has all the power,
  • 00:08:28.383 --> 00:08:32.220
  • Amen, praise god.
  • 00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:33.888
  • And he lived among us.
  • 00:08:33.888 --> 00:08:35.824
  • I said he lived among us.
  • 00:08:35.824 --> 00:08:38.526
  • He lived--i mean, he could have chosen
  • 00:08:38.526 --> 00:08:40.962
  • The jerusalem royal hilton, or you know,
  • 00:08:40.962 --> 00:08:45.200
  • The best places to be born in, but he chose,
  • 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.036
  • When he took off, you know, his outward form of regalia
  • 00:08:48.036 --> 00:08:54.376
  • As the king of the universe, he came down and he was born
  • 00:08:54.376 --> 00:08:57.345
  • In a manger, a smelly, dirty manger.
  • 00:08:57.345 --> 00:09:01.583
  • He chose to be born in a poor family,
  • 00:09:01.583 --> 00:09:03.151
  • And for those of you who argue about joseph and mary
  • 00:09:03.151 --> 00:09:07.689
  • Being wealthy and all that, let me tell you this.
  • 00:09:07.689 --> 00:09:09.424
  • When jesus was born, all right, prior to jesus's birth,
  • 00:09:09.424 --> 00:09:12.861
  • Prior to the coming of the wise men, all right,
  • 00:09:12.861 --> 00:09:16.297
  • Joseph and mary were poor, why?
  • 00:09:16.297 --> 00:09:18.266
  • Because they brought the offering for a new baby.
  • 00:09:18.266 --> 00:09:20.468
  • They brought two-- they brought a pair of doves,
  • 00:09:20.468 --> 00:09:23.672
  • And only the poor bring doves.
  • 00:09:23.672 --> 00:09:27.142
  • The wealthy bring a bullock to be offered.
  • 00:09:27.142 --> 00:09:30.245
  • The middle income bring a lamb.
  • 00:09:30.245 --> 00:09:32.414
  • The poor bring a pair of doves.
  • 00:09:32.414 --> 00:09:35.950
  • The very poor bring a handful of flour.
  • 00:09:35.950 --> 00:09:38.053
  • So god will always take what man can
  • 00:09:38.053 --> 00:09:40.288
  • To reflect anything on his son.
  • 00:09:40.288 --> 00:09:42.691
  • Even the handful of flour is jesus, the bread of life, amen.
  • 00:09:42.691 --> 00:09:46.294
  • And the bullock is strong to labor.
  • 00:09:46.294 --> 00:09:48.296
  • So today, whether you're wealthy spiritually is
  • 00:09:48.296 --> 00:09:51.332
  • Whether you have a large comprehension of jesus,
  • 00:09:51.332 --> 00:09:53.134
  • Like a bullock-sized revelation of jesus,
  • 00:09:53.134 --> 00:09:54.769
  • Or you only have an idea about his earthly life,
  • 00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:57.772
  • No concept of what his death has accomplished.
  • 00:09:57.772 --> 00:10:00.742
  • And that's a fine-- just a fine flour.
  • 00:10:00.742 --> 00:10:02.777
  • So, friend, joseph and mary did not stay poor,
  • 00:10:02.777 --> 00:10:06.448
  • Because jesus was there, all right?
  • 00:10:06.448 --> 00:10:09.150
  • The wise men came and they brought gold,
  • 00:10:09.150 --> 00:10:11.753
  • Frankincense, all the very expensive items
  • 00:10:11.753 --> 00:10:13.888
  • Because of the baby, and they became wealthy.
  • 00:10:13.888 --> 00:10:16.357
  • And by the way, the wise men did not come
  • 00:10:16.357 --> 00:10:17.926
  • The day that christ was born.
  • 00:10:17.926 --> 00:10:19.761
  • They came when he was about two years old.
  • 00:10:19.761 --> 00:10:23.264
  • I'm sorry i spoiled your nativity scene,
  • 00:10:23.264 --> 00:10:25.567
  • But that's in the bible, okay?
  • 00:10:25.567 --> 00:10:27.936
  • All right, so god said, "the ten commandments,
  • 00:10:27.936 --> 00:10:30.638
  • The two tablets of stone, put it inside the box."
  • 00:10:30.638 --> 00:10:35.710
  • Okay, let's look at a cross section
  • 00:10:35.710 --> 00:10:38.012
  • Of what's inside.
  • 00:10:38.012 --> 00:10:39.581
  • Now, if you look inside the ark of the covenant,
  • 00:10:39.581 --> 00:10:41.916
  • You see three items.
  • 00:10:41.916 --> 00:10:43.351
  • Number one, you see the two tablets of stone,
  • 00:10:43.351 --> 00:10:45.687
  • The ten commandments written the finger of god.
  • 00:10:45.687 --> 00:10:48.556
  • It's inside the ark.
  • 00:10:48.556 --> 00:10:51.292
  • Do you know the ark-- the first mention
  • 00:10:51.292 --> 00:10:53.628
  • Actually of the ark is not in exodus?
  • 00:10:53.628 --> 00:10:56.164
  • It's actually in genesis.
  • 00:10:56.164 --> 00:10:58.800
  • The bible says, "when joseph died,
  • 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:00.268
  • They buried him in-- they put him in a coffin."
  • 00:11:00.268 --> 00:11:03.838
  • The word "coffin" is the word "ark."
  • 00:11:03.838 --> 00:11:08.209
  • Ark, exactly the same word, ark.
  • 00:11:08.209 --> 00:11:09.878
  • So it's a coffin for the two tablets.
  • 00:11:09.878 --> 00:11:13.615
  • God is saying, "if you bring the ark out,
  • 00:11:13.615 --> 00:11:16.484
  • Everyone will die, because the ark's perfect holiness
  • 00:11:16.484 --> 00:11:19.921
  • Will bring judgment on everyone who comes short of it."
  • 00:11:19.921 --> 00:11:23.291
  • And, folks, we come short of it.
  • 00:11:23.291 --> 00:11:26.194
  • So the only place to put the two tablets of stone
  • 00:11:26.194 --> 00:11:29.397
  • Is under the mercy seat,
  • 00:11:29.397 --> 00:11:32.400
  • Where, once a year in israel, in ancient times,
  • 00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:35.470
  • Blood is sprinkled on the mercy seat.
  • 00:11:35.470 --> 00:11:39.574
  • It's called--in hebrew, the mercy seat is called--
  • 00:11:39.574 --> 00:11:42.210
  • In greek, hilasterion, in hebrew, kipporet.
  • 00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:45.814
  • That's why you have yom kippur,
  • 00:11:45.814 --> 00:11:47.148
  • The day of atonement, kippur, covering.
  • 00:11:47.148 --> 00:11:50.251
  • Watch this, blood on the mercy seat.
  • 00:11:50.251 --> 00:11:54.989
  • All it takes, people, is just one drop of blood.
  • 00:11:54.989 --> 00:11:58.159
  • And when blood is sprinkled on the mercy seat,
  • 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.062
  • This is where psalms 91 is referring to
  • 00:12:01.062 --> 00:12:06.401
  • The secret place under the wings
  • 00:12:06.401 --> 00:12:09.437
  • Of the almighty, the el shaddai, amen.
  • 00:12:09.437 --> 00:12:13.708
  • We dwell here, praise the lord.
  • 00:12:13.708 --> 00:12:15.176
  • Jesus is our mercy seat.
  • 00:12:15.176 --> 00:12:16.611
  • Can i have a good amen? hallelujah, amen.
  • 00:12:16.611 --> 00:12:20.014
  • The aaron's rod that budded--you see the white almond flowers?
  • 00:12:20.014 --> 00:12:23.685
  • That's aaron's rod that budded, because all of them
  • 00:12:23.685 --> 00:12:26.955
  • Were jealous that aaron--
  • 00:12:26.955 --> 00:12:28.957
  • They say, "oh, it's coi, conflict of interest.
  • 00:12:28.957 --> 00:12:31.659
  • Aaron is moses's brother, that's why he made him
  • 00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:33.461
  • The high priest," amen.
  • 00:12:33.461 --> 00:12:37.065
  • So god said to moses, "tell them,
  • 00:12:37.065 --> 00:12:38.733
  • All the twelve tribes, each one bring--
  • 00:12:38.733 --> 00:12:41.769
  • The leaders of each tribe, bring their rod."
  • 00:12:41.769 --> 00:12:44.172
  • So all the twelve rods plus aaron's rod
  • 00:12:44.172 --> 00:12:46.541
  • Was collectively put before the ark.
  • 00:12:46.541 --> 00:12:49.177
  • Amen, overnight.
  • 00:12:49.177 --> 00:12:51.079
  • The next day, they came to collect,
  • 00:12:51.079 --> 00:12:52.680
  • And all their rods-- you know when you cut off
  • 00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:54.249
  • The tree, right, there's no more life.
  • 00:12:54.249 --> 00:12:57.752
  • But all of them took back their rods the same.
  • 00:12:57.752 --> 00:13:00.121
  • But aaron, when he picked up his rod, also cut off, right?
  • 00:13:00.121 --> 00:13:03.791
  • That's how you get a rod.
  • 00:13:03.791 --> 00:13:05.126
  • But aaron's rod had blossomed, budded, blossomed
  • 00:13:05.126 --> 00:13:11.399
  • With white almond.
  • 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.001
  • Almond tree is white in color blossoms.
  • 00:13:13.001 --> 00:13:15.270
  • And then almond fruit.
  • 00:13:15.270 --> 00:13:18.106
  • It's a picture of resurrection, life from the dead, amen.
  • 00:13:18.106 --> 00:13:22.343
  • So, it speaks of-- how did it come about,
  • 00:13:22.343 --> 00:13:24.612
  • This occasion?
  • 00:13:24.612 --> 00:13:25.947
  • Man's rejection of god's leadership.
  • 00:13:25.947 --> 00:13:27.282
  • God has put it under the mercy seat,
  • 00:13:27.282 --> 00:13:28.650
  • Under the blood.
  • 00:13:28.650 --> 00:13:29.984
  • And then we have the golden pot of manna.
  • 00:13:29.984 --> 00:13:31.452
  • What was the occasion for the manna from heaven?
  • 00:13:31.452 --> 00:13:34.355
  • Amen?
  • 00:13:34.355 --> 00:13:35.690
  • Where do you find that story?
  • 00:13:35.690 --> 00:13:37.025
  • In exodus, after they came out of egypt,
  • 00:13:37.025 --> 00:13:39.060
  • They crossed through the red sea, amen,
  • 00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:41.229
  • And then the bible tells us that they were hungry
  • 00:13:41.229 --> 00:13:43.398
  • And they complained.
  • 00:13:43.398 --> 00:13:44.732
  • They told moses, "did you bring us out here to die, moses?
  • 00:13:44.732 --> 00:13:48.603
  • Is there any food here?"
  • 00:13:48.603 --> 00:13:50.838
  • And then god says, "moses, i will rain--" not judgment.
  • 00:13:50.838 --> 00:13:54.809
  • How could i have said that?
  • 00:13:54.809 --> 00:13:56.144
  • "i will reign bread from heaven."
  • 00:13:56.144 --> 00:13:58.012
  • And then jesus came, 1500 years after that.
  • 00:13:58.012 --> 00:14:01.082
  • Jesus came and said to the jews,
  • 00:14:01.082 --> 00:14:04.152
  • "i am the bread of life.
  • 00:14:04.152 --> 00:14:06.154
  • Your fathers did eat manna in the desert,
  • 00:14:06.154 --> 00:14:09.157
  • And they are dead.
  • 00:14:09.157 --> 00:14:10.925
  • This is the true bread which comes down out of heaven,
  • 00:14:10.925 --> 00:14:14.028
  • That if a man eat thereof, he will not die.
  • 00:14:14.028 --> 00:14:19.467
  • And i am the living bread which cometh down
  • 00:14:19.467 --> 00:14:21.803
  • Out of heaven, that if a man eat of me,
  • 00:14:21.803 --> 00:14:24.772
  • He shall live forever," and listen,
  • 00:14:24.772 --> 00:14:26.808
  • "and the bread that i will give is my flesh,
  • 00:14:26.808 --> 00:14:30.144
  • Which i will give for the life of the world."
  • 00:14:30.144 --> 00:14:35.350
  • Every time you take communion, remember that.
  • 00:14:35.350 --> 00:14:37.885
  • "the bread that i will give is my flesh,
  • 00:14:37.885 --> 00:14:40.588
  • Which i will give for the life of the world."
  • 00:14:40.588 --> 00:14:45.059
  • Remember when god told adam and eve, dying,
  • 00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:50.231
  • In the process of dying-- that's why aging
  • 00:14:50.231 --> 00:14:52.667
  • Is nothing more than dying.
  • 00:14:52.667 --> 00:14:54.502
  • Dying, you shall die one day.
  • 00:14:54.502 --> 00:14:57.438
  • The moment man start-- god never meant for man to die.
  • 00:14:57.438 --> 00:15:00.341
  • So that dying is now reversed,
  • 00:15:00.341 --> 00:15:02.577
  • Because "the bread that i will give is my flesh
  • 00:15:02.577 --> 00:15:05.413
  • Which i will give for the life of the world."
  • 00:15:05.413 --> 00:15:09.917
  • Remember that when you take communion.
  • 00:15:09.917 --> 00:15:11.853
  • You're taking his life.
  • 00:15:11.853 --> 00:15:13.821
  • I said you're taking his life.
  • 00:15:13.821 --> 00:15:15.823
  • And then the jews strove among themselves, saying,
  • 00:15:15.823 --> 00:15:17.458
  • "how can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
  • 00:15:17.458 --> 00:15:19.060
  • They don't understand. but thank god, we do, all right?
  • 00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:22.296
  • So praise god.
  • 00:15:22.296 --> 00:15:23.631
  • Now, the cherubim, these two cherubim--
  • 00:15:23.631 --> 00:15:26.367
  • Notice their eyes.
  • 00:15:26.367 --> 00:15:27.702
  • They are guardians.
  • 00:15:27.702 --> 00:15:29.037
  • When you go to heaven one day, amen--
  • 00:15:29.037 --> 00:15:32.240
  • I mean, now you can go to heaven.
  • 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.741
  • I hate the idea of going to heaven one day,
  • 00:15:33.741 --> 00:15:35.643
  • Because you can go to heaven anytime,
  • 00:15:35.643 --> 00:15:36.978
  • The throne of grace.
  • 00:15:36.978 --> 00:15:38.312
  • This is the throne of grace. there's blood there now.
  • 00:15:38.312 --> 00:15:40.481
  • And that blood is not the blood of bulls and goats.
  • 00:15:40.481 --> 00:15:42.583
  • It's the blood of jesus on the real mercy seat.
  • 00:15:42.583 --> 00:15:45.186
  • The blood of jesus is there in heaven.
  • 00:15:45.186 --> 00:15:46.687
  • That speaks better things than the blood of abel, amen?
  • 00:15:46.687 --> 00:15:49.957
  • All these are visual aids, you understand?
  • 00:15:49.957 --> 00:15:51.659
  • All these are like visual illustrations,
  • 00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:53.694
  • Kindergarten stage, for israel to learn their abcs.
  • 00:15:53.694 --> 00:15:56.731
  • So then jesus comes, he is the true lamb.
  • 00:15:56.731 --> 00:15:59.200
  • When john the baptist saw him, he says,
  • 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.701
  • "look, look, behold the lamb of god,
  • 00:16:00.701 --> 00:16:03.671
  • Who takes away the sin of the world!"
  • 00:16:03.671 --> 00:16:05.973
  • The blood of bulls and the blood of goats,
  • 00:16:05.973 --> 00:16:07.942
  • And the blood of lambs only covers sin from year to year.
  • 00:16:07.942 --> 00:16:11.012
  • It covers, it covers, but the sin is still there.
  • 00:16:11.012 --> 00:16:13.581
  • It's like you sweep it under the carpet,
  • 00:16:13.581 --> 00:16:14.916
  • The problem is still there, but it's covered,
  • 00:16:14.916 --> 00:16:16.250
  • It's covered, it's covered.
  • 00:16:16.250 --> 00:16:17.585
  • Because there's no way blood of bulls and goats
  • 00:16:17.585 --> 00:16:18.920
  • Can take away sins, until jesus came.
  • 00:16:18.920 --> 00:16:22.390
  • And john the baptist says, "the lamb of god, look, look.
  • 00:16:22.390 --> 00:16:26.294
  • The lamb of god who takes away
  • 00:16:26.294 --> 00:16:30.465
  • Sin of the world," amen?
  • 00:16:30.465 --> 00:16:32.800
  • Amen, church?
  • 00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:34.235
  • So these two cherubim in heaven, you will see them.
  • 00:16:34.235 --> 00:16:38.306
  • They are the guardians of god's righteousness and holiness.
  • 00:16:38.306 --> 00:16:43.111
  • They are first mentioned, in the law of first mention,
  • 00:16:43.111 --> 00:16:45.246
  • All right, we learned that they are guardians
  • 00:16:45.246 --> 00:16:46.581
  • Of god's righteousness.
  • 00:16:46.581 --> 00:16:47.915
  • When god drove adam and eve out of the garden,
  • 00:16:47.915 --> 00:16:49.884
  • They stood at the entrance with a flaming sword.
  • 00:16:49.884 --> 00:16:53.154
  • They would not allow anyone to come in.
  • 00:16:53.154 --> 00:16:55.389
  • They are guardians of god's righteousness.
  • 00:16:55.389 --> 00:16:57.125
  • So their eyes represent god's eyes.
  • 00:16:57.125 --> 00:16:59.193
  • It's like god's eyes.
  • 00:16:59.193 --> 00:17:00.528
  • But every time they look down, they see man's rebellion,
  • 00:17:00.528 --> 00:17:02.930
  • The three tokens of man's rebellion.
  • 00:17:02.930 --> 00:17:04.799
  • But once in a year, the blood is there.
  • 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.969
  • And you know what they see?
  • 00:17:07.969 --> 00:17:10.004
  • The blood speaking blessings upon the people, amen.
  • 00:17:10.004 --> 00:17:15.076
  • And now, people, the blood of jesus
  • 00:17:15.076 --> 00:17:16.711
  • Is permanently in heaven.
  • 00:17:16.711 --> 00:17:18.713
  • So when god looks at you, god does not look at you
  • 00:17:18.713 --> 00:17:20.581
  • With judgment.
  • 00:17:20.581 --> 00:17:21.949
  • God looks at you with mercy and love.
  • 00:17:21.949 --> 00:17:24.752
  • And folks, everything about the cross,
  • 00:17:24.752 --> 00:17:26.721
  • Just understand this is a visual aid, okay?
  • 00:17:26.721 --> 00:17:29.090
  • When i travel, i bring my wife's photo.
  • 00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:31.125
  • Of course, now it's in my smartphone.
  • 00:17:31.125 --> 00:17:33.060
  • And i look at my wife's photo to remind myself
  • 00:17:33.060 --> 00:17:35.229
  • How beautiful she looks, right?
  • 00:17:35.229 --> 00:17:36.864
  • But when i come back and i'm having coffee with her,
  • 00:17:36.864 --> 00:17:40.168
  • And i'm still looking at her photo,
  • 00:17:40.168 --> 00:17:41.502
  • Something is wrong, all right?
  • 00:17:41.502 --> 00:17:44.005
  • She will say, "baby, give me the phone," right, amen?
  • 00:17:44.005 --> 00:17:48.576
  • And you better not say to your wife,
  • 00:17:48.576 --> 00:17:50.077
  • "this one looks younger."
  • 00:17:50.077 --> 00:17:52.580
  • Then you will need my book on divine protection, amen?
  • 00:17:52.580 --> 00:17:57.518
  • People are asking, "where do you think
  • 00:17:57.518 --> 00:17:58.853
  • The ark of the covenant is, brother?"
  • 00:17:58.853 --> 00:18:01.122
  • Well, brother and sister, i have studied on this,
  • 00:18:01.122 --> 00:18:03.324
  • And i'm telling you, it's a waste of time,
  • 00:18:03.324 --> 00:18:05.226
  • Because some say it's over here, some say it's over there,
  • 00:18:05.226 --> 00:18:07.361
  • Some say it's in the temple mount,
  • 00:18:07.361 --> 00:18:09.630
  • Underneath, okay?
  • 00:18:09.630 --> 00:18:11.232
  • But the thing is that some say it's in ethiopia.
  • 00:18:11.232 --> 00:18:13.301
  • Doesn't really matter.
  • 00:18:13.301 --> 00:18:14.802
  • The real ark of the covenant came.
  • 00:18:14.802 --> 00:18:18.940
  • His name is jesus.
  • 00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:20.541
  • Oh, by the way, this might come as a surprise
  • 00:18:20.541 --> 00:18:21.909
  • To some people.
  • 00:18:21.909 --> 00:18:23.244
  • Even the bible scholars, they don't consider this:
  • 00:18:23.244 --> 00:18:26.214
  • That when jesus was here in jerusalem,
  • 00:18:26.214 --> 00:18:31.953
  • The temple that stood at that time,
  • 00:18:31.953 --> 00:18:33.387
  • The temple of herod,
  • 00:18:33.387 --> 00:18:34.755
  • Did not have the ark of the covenant.
  • 00:18:34.755 --> 00:18:36.757
  • Do you know that?
  • 00:18:36.757 --> 00:18:38.092
  • And the holy of holies is empty, because many years before,
  • 00:18:38.092 --> 00:18:42.096
  • Solomon, a man blessed by god with wisdom
  • 00:18:42.096 --> 00:18:46.867
  • Beyond that of any man except jesus,
  • 00:18:46.867 --> 00:18:49.136
  • Solomon knew that there will come a time
  • 00:18:49.136 --> 00:18:51.072
  • The babylonians will come in
  • 00:18:51.072 --> 00:18:52.640
  • And take away all the furnitures of the temple,
  • 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.942
  • Plus, if he don't hide it, the ark.
  • 00:18:54.942 --> 00:18:57.845
  • So solomon hid the ark. but listen.
  • 00:18:57.845 --> 00:19:01.415
  • By the time jesus was here, the temple that stood
  • 00:19:01.415 --> 00:19:05.019
  • Did not have the ark.
  • 00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:07.121
  • So one time, i was one of those that was very keen to find out
  • 00:19:07.121 --> 00:19:11.025
  • Where's the ark.
  • 00:19:11.025 --> 00:19:12.360
  • I would read books on it, buy, you know,
  • 00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:13.928
  • Books on it, watch "nat geo" docu
  • 00:19:13.928 --> 00:19:15.896
  • On these kind of things and all that.
  • 00:19:15.896 --> 00:19:17.365
  • But it's a waste of time, i'll just tell you that,
  • 00:19:17.365 --> 00:19:19.200
  • Because the real ark has come.
  • 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.202
  • I asked-- how i knew this was this:
  • 00:19:21.202 --> 00:19:22.737
  • I asked the lord one time, i asked the father,
  • 00:19:22.737 --> 00:19:24.105
  • "father in heaven, isn't it sad that when jesus was here,
  • 00:19:24.105 --> 00:19:26.774
  • The temple did not have the ark?"
  • 00:19:26.774 --> 00:19:28.743
  • And the father answered me and said,
  • 00:19:28.743 --> 00:19:30.544
  • "because he was walking outside,
  • 00:19:30.544 --> 00:19:34.448
  • Opening the eyes of the blind, unstopping deaf ears,
  • 00:19:34.448 --> 00:19:37.051
  • Raising the dead, cleansing the lepers," hallelujah!
  • 00:19:37.051 --> 00:19:39.687
  • Who needs a visual aid when the substance has come?
  • 00:19:39.687 --> 00:19:44.258
  • So, it's a visual aid to help us understand, okay?
  • 00:19:44.258 --> 00:19:48.195
  • Now sit back and watch this visual aid
  • 00:19:48.195 --> 00:19:50.197
  • As the ark opens up.
  • 00:19:50.197 --> 00:19:55.603
  • If you open up the panels on the right, the sides,
  • 00:19:55.603 --> 00:20:02.543
  • Gold within, gold without, this is what you see...
  • 00:20:02.543 --> 00:20:12.453
  • The cross.
  • 00:20:12.453 --> 00:20:13.788
  • So, it is the person and the work of jesus.
  • 00:20:13.788 --> 00:20:15.956
  • Everything the father has in mind is all about jesus
  • 00:20:15.956 --> 00:20:18.726
  • And the finished work.
  • 00:20:18.726 --> 00:20:20.394
  • It's all about jesus and the finished work.
  • 00:20:20.394 --> 00:20:22.530
  • And do you know that, whether israel knew this or not,
  • 00:20:22.530 --> 00:20:26.033
  • They could not understand why the cross,
  • 00:20:26.033 --> 00:20:28.002
  • Because the cross was not an invention
  • 00:20:28.002 --> 00:20:30.438
  • During moses's time.
  • 00:20:30.438 --> 00:20:31.772
  • The cross is a very cruel form of execution
  • 00:20:31.772 --> 00:20:35.109
  • That the phoenicians, and later on the romans
  • 00:20:35.109 --> 00:20:38.412
  • Got it from the phoenicians,
  • 00:20:38.412 --> 00:20:39.914
  • And it's quite a modern-day compared to moses's time, okay?
  • 00:20:39.914 --> 00:20:43.718
  • And that's why when david prophesied,
  • 00:20:43.718 --> 00:20:46.520
  • Before the cross-- the execution of the cross
  • 00:20:46.520 --> 00:20:49.690
  • Was implemented, david prophesied.
  • 00:20:49.690 --> 00:20:52.059
  • In david's time, 3000 years ago,
  • 00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.328
  • David says, "they pierced my hands and my feet."
  • 00:20:54.328 --> 00:20:59.533
  • So "pierce my hands and my feet" is crucifixion.
  • 00:20:59.533 --> 00:21:02.069
  • It was a messianic psalm, that jesus--
  • 00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:05.439
  • Because the the capital punishment at the time
  • 00:21:05.439 --> 00:21:06.974
  • Was stoning, but this was crucifixion.
  • 00:21:06.974 --> 00:21:11.078
  • So god was prophesying his son. let me tell you this.
  • 00:21:11.078 --> 00:21:13.447
  • The cross is the place where everything,
  • 00:21:13.447 --> 00:21:17.885
  • All the attributes of god, met.
  • 00:21:17.885 --> 00:21:21.756
  • God is love.
  • 00:21:21.756 --> 00:21:23.157
  • You see it at the cross.
  • 00:21:23.157 --> 00:21:24.592
  • God is just. you see at the cross.
  • 00:21:24.592 --> 00:21:27.194
  • God is light, amen.
  • 00:21:27.194 --> 00:21:29.497
  • God has inflexible righteousness, amen,
  • 00:21:29.497 --> 00:21:33.401
  • Holiness, unbending holiness, amen.
  • 00:21:33.401 --> 00:21:37.171
  • And that's why when you sin, you're in trouble, amen?
  • 00:21:37.171 --> 00:21:41.876
  • But in the end, god is love.
  • 00:21:41.876 --> 00:21:43.511
  • So how do you see all these attributes
  • 00:21:43.511 --> 00:21:45.379
  • At one time?
  • 00:21:45.379 --> 00:21:46.714
  • God's love, god's righteousness? at the cross.
  • 00:21:46.714 --> 00:21:48.582
  • Because at the cross, even though god is just
  • 00:21:48.582 --> 00:21:50.551
  • And he will punish sin--
  • 00:21:50.551 --> 00:21:51.886
  • Hey, you want a judge that is just.
  • 00:21:51.886 --> 00:21:54.321
  • You don't want a judge that sort of, like,
  • 00:21:54.321 --> 00:21:56.757
  • Because of money given to him, he's sort of, like--
  • 00:21:56.757 --> 00:22:00.594
  • Panders to people who are wealthy,
  • 00:22:00.594 --> 00:22:02.696
  • And then he's sort of, like, he's strong on people
  • 00:22:02.696 --> 00:22:05.800
  • Who are poor.
  • 00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:07.134
  • In some countries, you may have that.
  • 00:22:07.134 --> 00:22:08.469
  • Let me tell you this. you want a judge who is just.
  • 00:22:08.469 --> 00:22:12.273
  • We want a just judge.
  • 00:22:12.273 --> 00:22:14.642
  • But we also want a judge whose essence,
  • 00:22:14.642 --> 00:22:17.478
  • Whose person, whose being is love.
  • 00:22:17.478 --> 00:22:20.381
  • God is love.
  • 00:22:20.381 --> 00:22:21.882
  • The bible defines god as love. but god is just.
  • 00:22:21.882 --> 00:22:25.085
  • So at the cross, you see his love,
  • 00:22:25.085 --> 00:22:26.420
  • You see his justice, because his justice,
  • 00:22:26.420 --> 00:22:27.955
  • You see jesus being punished,
  • 00:22:27.955 --> 00:22:29.390
  • The son that he loved being punished.
  • 00:22:29.390 --> 00:22:31.892
  • But jesus did no sin. in him is no sin.
  • 00:22:31.892 --> 00:22:34.195
  • He knew no sin. but why was he punished?
  • 00:22:34.195 --> 00:22:36.163
  • Because he was carrying our sins.
  • 00:22:36.163 --> 00:22:38.499
  • So you see god's judgment.
  • 00:22:38.499 --> 00:22:39.834
  • God did not say, "oh, he's my son.
  • 00:22:39.834 --> 00:22:41.302
  • Okay, boys will be boys.
  • 00:22:41.302 --> 00:22:42.636
  • Never mind, i sweep everything under the carpet."
  • 00:22:42.636 --> 00:22:44.171
  • No, because he was carrying our sins,
  • 00:22:44.171 --> 00:22:46.674
  • Your sins and my sins, he was punished.
  • 00:22:46.674 --> 00:22:50.945
  • He was judged.
  • 00:22:50.945 --> 00:22:54.682
  • He was cursed that you might be blessed.
  • 00:22:54.682 --> 00:22:57.151
  • He was rejected that you might be accepted, amen.
  • 00:22:57.151 --> 00:23:00.721
  • He wore a crown of thorns so that you and i today
  • 00:23:00.721 --> 00:23:02.823
  • Can have the peace of god guarding our hearts and minds.
  • 00:23:02.823 --> 00:23:07.928
  • Amen, people?
  • 00:23:07.928 --> 00:23:09.463
  • So, at the cross, you see god's love.
  • 00:23:09.463 --> 00:23:12.600
  • You see god's love, why?
  • 00:23:12.600 --> 00:23:13.934
  • It's not you bearing the judgment.
  • 00:23:13.934 --> 00:23:16.470
  • It's not you, your children, suffering at the cross.
  • 00:23:16.470 --> 00:23:20.741
  • God provided his son to be the lamb
  • 00:23:20.741 --> 00:23:22.877
  • That takes away your sin,
  • 00:23:22.877 --> 00:23:24.445
  • And also the one that takes your punishment.
  • 00:23:24.445 --> 00:23:26.213
  • So you see god's love blending with god's justice,
  • 00:23:26.213 --> 00:23:29.283
  • Righteousness and mercy met,
  • 00:23:29.283 --> 00:23:31.151
  • Mercy and truth kissed at the cross.
  • 00:23:31.151 --> 00:23:33.621
  • At the cross, you see all the attributes of god
  • 00:23:33.621 --> 00:23:36.457
  • Magnified, glorified,
  • 00:23:36.457 --> 00:23:38.025
  • All the claims of divine holiness fully met,
  • 00:23:38.025 --> 00:23:40.828
  • The law of god magnified, the ten commandments honored,
  • 00:23:40.828 --> 00:23:44.298
  • And christ fulfilled the law.
  • 00:23:44.298 --> 00:23:45.666
  • We're not under the law because we break the law.
  • 00:23:45.666 --> 00:23:48.135
  • We're not under the law
