00:03:57.616 --> 00:04:00.218
Oh, say worthy is
00:04:00.218 --> 00:04:03.388
The lamb was slain.
00:04:03.388 --> 00:04:06.925
Worthy is the lamb who was slain.
00:04:06.925 --> 00:04:10.295
To receive power.
00:04:10.295 --> 00:04:12.631
Riches and wisdom.
00:04:12.631 --> 00:04:14.933
Worthy is the lamb.
00:04:14.933 --> 00:04:17.569
Who was slain.
00:04:17.569 --> 00:04:21.006
Worthy is the lamb who was slain.
00:04:21.006 --> 00:04:28.513
Strengthen all honor, glory and blessing.
00:04:28.513 --> 00:04:34.286
Worthy is the lamb who was slain
00:04:34.286 --> 00:04:37.322
For the worthy is the lamb who was slain.
00:04:37.322 --> 00:04:41.860
Worthy is the lamb who was slain.
00:04:41.860 --> 00:05:00.212
Wow.
00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:02.414
Beautiful, beautiful.
00:05:02.414 --> 00:05:03.749
Welcome to praise everybody in the studio.
00:05:03.749 --> 00:05:06.351
Everyone watching.
00:05:06.351 --> 00:05:07.586
Wherever you're watching. these are.
00:05:07.586 --> 00:05:09.755
These are the days we dream of.
00:05:09.755 --> 00:05:11.390
These are the programs we love to do.
00:05:11.390 --> 00:05:14.359
We sit around and we get to sing.
00:05:14.359 --> 00:05:17.529
We get to celebrate.
00:05:17.529 --> 00:05:19.364
You know, arguably the greatest day in the calendar year.
00:05:19.364 --> 00:05:22.901
Resurrection, you know, is it's all about that.
00:05:22.901 --> 00:05:26.638
And, you know, david,
00:05:26.638 --> 00:05:30.008
And, mike, we ought to probably let
00:05:30.008 --> 00:05:33.645
The audience in on on a little secret.
00:05:33.645 --> 00:05:35.714
We we were over at your house when we kind of thought this up.
00:05:35.714 --> 00:05:39.785
So what are we actually doing here?
00:05:39.785 --> 00:05:43.288
What do you think we're doing here?
00:05:43.288 --> 00:05:44.856
We're kind of doing something a little different
00:05:44.856 --> 00:05:46.992
That that song came out of the book of revelation?
00:05:46.992 --> 00:05:49.961
Yes. okay, so i didn't know you could write a worship song
00:05:49.961 --> 00:05:54.132
Out of revelation.
00:05:54.566 --> 00:05:55.901
I thought that was the scary book, you know?
00:05:55.901 --> 00:05:58.203
That█s how i felt for a long time,
00:05:58.203 --> 00:06:00.605
I well, i felt the lord speak to me to write
00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:04.409
The revelation of jesus.
00:06:04.409 --> 00:06:05.844
And i remember saying to the lord,
00:06:05.844 --> 00:06:08.113
I'm not sure how i feel about the book of revelation.
00:06:08.113 --> 00:06:10.582
Yeah. can i say that to the lord?
00:06:10.582 --> 00:06:13.385
Because i would.
00:06:13.752 --> 00:06:14.886
This was the book i, i would always speed read through.
00:06:14.886 --> 00:06:17.756
Yeah, because i was afraid and didn't understand
00:06:17.756 --> 00:06:20.158
And didn't want to get any arguments.
00:06:20.158 --> 00:06:21.793
Yeah. or split any churches.
00:06:21.793 --> 00:06:24.229
But when i heard the lord say, write it, i really saw
00:06:24.229 --> 00:06:29.534
For the first time how much worship
00:06:29.534 --> 00:06:31.303
Is throughout the whole book.
00:06:31.303 --> 00:06:33.038
I mean, it's it's a book of worship.
00:06:33.038 --> 00:06:35.974
You called me a few years ago and you said,
00:06:35.974 --> 00:06:40.479
Hey, i've got a really, kind of really unique idea.
00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:43.882
And i thought it was the craziest thing i'd ever heard.
00:06:43.882 --> 00:06:46.551
I mean, at some point, how do you do what you're doing?
00:06:46.551 --> 00:06:50.155
But the problem is,
00:06:50.155 --> 00:06:52.123
Felt like a few years before you called me,
00:06:52.123 --> 00:06:54.659
The lord tapped me on the shoulder and said,
00:06:54.659 --> 00:06:56.428
I want to reset the book of revelation for you.
00:06:56.428 --> 00:07:01.299
I hadn't really talked much about that to anybody.
00:07:01.299 --> 00:07:04.569
It was something that i was just kind of heard from.
00:07:04.569 --> 00:07:06.771
The lord was on a run one day.
00:07:06.771 --> 00:07:09.040
This was just a surprise to me.
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.209
I didn't even know what it meant, david. for real.
00:07:11.209 --> 00:07:13.712
But all i knew to do is to pay attention
00:07:13.712 --> 00:07:16.214
To what you said to me a little differently.
00:07:16.214 --> 00:07:18.450
And i thought literally,
00:07:18.450 --> 00:07:20.619
Well, you know, i don't know how you're going to do that.
00:07:20.619 --> 00:07:22.988
And it sounds crazy, but oh, wait a second.
00:07:22.988 --> 00:07:26.091
But that would be resetting the book of revelation,
00:07:26.091 --> 00:07:29.561
Would it not?
00:07:29.561 --> 00:07:31.096
So then comes along at least a senior
00:07:31.096 --> 00:07:34.099
Pastor who kind of helps us kind of come through this, but
00:07:34.099 --> 00:07:37.702
What do you think we're doing here today?
00:07:38.603 --> 00:07:40.472
We're kind of something a little bit different, i think.
00:07:40.472 --> 00:07:43.575
Yeah. and i love it.
00:07:43.575 --> 00:07:45.210
Thank you.
00:07:45.210 --> 00:07:46.211
I'm honored to be here and we're going to learn
00:07:46.211 --> 00:07:48.079
Today, over the next few minutes of this easter special,
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.516
That there is so much more
00:07:52.083 --> 00:07:53.351
To the resurrection than we ever thought.
00:07:53.351 --> 00:07:55.053
Thank you, lord.
00:07:55.053 --> 00:07:56.054
And one of the things that we need to learn
00:07:56.054 --> 00:07:59.057
In reframing revelation is that revelation is filled with song.
00:07:59.057 --> 00:08:03.728
For those who don't
00:08:04.195 --> 00:08:05.196
Know, apocalypse is an end of the world scenario.
00:08:05.196 --> 00:08:09.134
Never meant that we're out to turn that coin over and help
00:08:09.134 --> 00:08:13.004
You understand that apocalypse is a word
00:08:13.004 --> 00:08:15.173
That means to reveal what is it revealing.
00:08:15.173 --> 00:08:18.810
In the first chapter, it says it's a revelation
00:08:18.810 --> 00:08:21.413
Of jesus christ,
00:08:21.413 --> 00:08:22.881
And the book of revelation is filled with song.
00:08:22.881 --> 00:08:26.851
The song of moses, the song of the lamb,
00:08:26.851 --> 00:08:29.754
The song of the redeemed the hallelujah chorus.
00:08:29.754 --> 00:08:33.024
It's worship songs.
00:08:33.024 --> 00:08:35.093
How could we miss that and be so blind?
00:08:35.093 --> 00:08:38.196
But what we're going to do today is intersperse
00:08:38.196 --> 00:08:40.699
These beautiful songs from revelation.
00:08:40.699 --> 00:08:44.536
And we'll, interspersed with little teaching words
00:08:44.536 --> 00:08:47.839
As we go forth. is that okay? sure.
00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:50.141
And you're kind of confirming that you're you're
00:08:50.141 --> 00:08:55.080
A little bit of a groundbreaker here, you know?
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.482
I mean, at some point, i had no idea
00:08:57.482 --> 00:09:00.018
There was songs in revelation that was the book.
00:09:00.018 --> 00:09:04.255
You weren't,
00:09:04.255 --> 00:09:05.457
You know, you're kind of afraid to read or you kind of.
00:09:05.457 --> 00:09:07.926
You thought it meant something very mysterious.
00:09:07.926 --> 00:09:10.028
And that kind of thing.
00:09:10.028 --> 00:09:11.363
And,
00:09:11.363 --> 00:09:12.664
But all i know is
00:09:12.664 --> 00:09:13.798
When you're sitting around a piano with friends
00:09:13.798 --> 00:09:15.734
And somebody who can play the piano, you're happy.
00:09:15.734 --> 00:09:17.902
So best thing in the world.
00:09:17.902 --> 00:09:20.805
You know, when we get into a little cluster like this,
00:09:20.805 --> 00:09:23.341
We've got family, got all my kids, got
00:09:23.341 --> 00:09:25.744
My grandbaby here,
00:09:25.744 --> 00:09:26.945
I got mike and kathy were like,
00:09:26.945 --> 00:09:28.446
My parents and i got dave and nicole, people
00:09:28.446 --> 00:09:31.182
That i even like grandparents too.
00:09:31.182 --> 00:09:32.684
So god love you, you know?
00:09:32.684 --> 00:09:34.786
Yeah, people that i love dearly around us and
00:09:34.786 --> 00:09:39.024
But we have the family of god.
00:09:39.024 --> 00:09:40.992
And so this just reminds me of this small little chorus.
00:09:40.992 --> 00:09:45.964
Can you imagine sitting in heaven when,
00:09:45.964 --> 00:09:49.034
When we all get together to a coming a tv?
00:09:49.034 --> 00:09:53.171
Yeah, exactly. that was good.
00:09:53.171 --> 00:09:55.206
And and get to worship together.
00:09:55.206 --> 00:09:58.243
That's what we're doing right here, right now.
00:09:58.243 --> 00:10:01.046
Jesus said, thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
00:10:01.046 --> 00:10:04.416
Heaven on earth.
00:10:04.416 --> 00:10:05.917
And this is where we're growing the kingdom of god right now.
00:10:05.917 --> 00:10:09.320
You know, the resurrection day was the launching pad for what
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.291
We call the beginning of everlasting life.
00:10:13.291 --> 00:10:18.163
So when we actually receive christ into our hearts,
00:10:18.163 --> 00:10:21.866
We get to join that family of god.
00:10:21.866 --> 00:10:24.669
We get to get set on that everlasting life.
00:10:24.669 --> 00:10:28.740
Not when we get to heaven
00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:30.408
Right now, right here in the old nasty now, now, as my dad
00:10:30.408 --> 00:10:34.312
Used to say, so, welcome and just worship with us today.
00:10:34.312 --> 00:10:38.049
It's going to be.
00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:39.084
I'm so looking forward to the next few minutes
00:10:39.084 --> 00:10:42.087
Let me set the scene for us here
00:10:42.087 --> 00:10:43.788
Because you talked about the intimacy, the smaller crowd.
00:10:43.788 --> 00:10:47.192
Let's go back 2000 years.
00:10:47.192 --> 00:10:48.993
And this is very much like other than the electronic equipment.
00:10:48.993 --> 00:10:53.164
It was a small, humble building.
00:10:53.164 --> 00:10:55.533
There was a crowd about this size, maybe a little smaller
00:10:55.533 --> 00:10:59.137
Or bigger in either ephesus or pergamum
00:10:59.137 --> 00:11:02.173
Or laodicea in one of seven churches in asia minor.
00:11:02.173 --> 00:11:05.944
And they got exciting news.
00:11:05.944 --> 00:11:08.346
One of their leaders came in.
00:11:08.346 --> 00:11:09.948
They were losing members to martyrdom.
00:11:09.948 --> 00:11:12.250
Every week. it looked like the end of the world.
00:11:12.250 --> 00:11:16.054
And the
00:11:16.321 --> 00:11:17.422
Elder came in looking at an umble group and said,
00:11:17.422 --> 00:11:21.993
I've got unbelievable news.
00:11:21.993 --> 00:11:24.729
We've got a letter from john.
00:11:24.729 --> 00:11:27.165
We thought he might be dead.
00:11:27.165 --> 00:11:29.267
He's been banished to patmos, and he sent us a word.
00:11:29.267 --> 00:11:33.938
And the book of revelation is the letter
00:11:33.938 --> 00:11:37.275
Sent to seven churches in asia minor
00:11:37.275 --> 00:11:40.178
About the impending
00:11:40.178 --> 00:11:41.479
Destruction of jerusalem and the roman empire,
00:11:41.479 --> 00:11:44.482
And the victory of jesus over it all.
00:11:44.482 --> 00:11:47.485
And that's the way it was read.
00:11:47.485 --> 00:11:50.221
John was the only apostle left that hadn't been martyred
00:11:50.221 --> 00:11:53.725
By 65 to 68 a.d.
00:11:54.092 --> 00:11:56.995
All the others were gone.
00:11:56.995 --> 00:11:58.997
They thought the early church thought john was dead
00:11:58.997 --> 00:12:01.766
Because he hadn't been heard from.
00:12:01.766 --> 00:12:03.434
He was actually taken to a distant island called patmos.
00:12:03.434 --> 00:12:07.806
That's an eight hour boat
00:12:07.806 --> 00:12:09.307
Ride south of athens, in the middle of the aegean sea.
00:12:09.307 --> 00:12:13.111
It was a roman place where they harvested rocks to make roads.
00:12:13.111 --> 00:12:16.781
They weren't mining gold.
00:12:17.348 --> 00:12:19.350
It was a desolate, mostly desert,
00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:22.287
Deserted island where they sent prisoners.
00:12:22.287 --> 00:12:25.523
John was there.
00:12:25.924 --> 00:12:27.625
And this is the way the book of revelation opens.
00:12:27.625 --> 00:12:31.529
Three years
00:12:31.863 --> 00:12:32.864
Ago, i had the privilege of going to patmos.
00:12:32.864 --> 00:12:35.700
I'd always wanted to go.
00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:37.268
It's a beautiful, sparsely inhabited place.
00:12:37.268 --> 00:12:41.739
About 3000 people live there.
00:12:41.739 --> 00:12:43.541
It's about 16 miles long.
00:12:43.541 --> 00:12:45.710
It's desert, but it's beautiful.
00:12:45.710 --> 00:12:47.312
It's mountainous.
00:12:47.312 --> 00:12:48.313
It has a thousand year old monastery of monks
00:12:48.313 --> 00:12:51.382
That protect the cave where john wrote revelation.
00:12:51.382 --> 00:12:54.953
So i found myself there,
00:12:55.453 --> 00:12:56.821
Walking on the rocky shore, the same place john was.
00:12:56.821 --> 00:13:00.458
And here's the way the revelation opens to john.
00:13:00.458 --> 00:13:03.862
And i'm standing on that beach.
00:13:03.862 --> 00:13:06.731
Revelation one and 12 says, john writes this
00:13:06.731 --> 00:13:10.435
I heard behind me a voice
00:13:10.435 --> 00:13:13.605
I was in the spirit on the lord's day.
00:13:13.605 --> 00:13:15.673
Lest we misread that, that doesn't mean sunday.
00:13:15.673 --> 00:13:19.477
He was in the spirit on the day of the lord when he wins.
00:13:19.477 --> 00:13:24.015
I was in the spirit on the lord's day, not rome's day,
00:13:24.015 --> 00:13:28.887
The lord's day.
00:13:29.287 --> 00:13:31.289
And i heard a voice behind me, and i turned to look,
00:13:31.289 --> 00:13:34.459
And i saw seven lampstands, and among them
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.563
I saw what was the son of man.
00:13:38.563 --> 00:13:41.666
He was in a long road to his feet,
00:13:41.666 --> 00:13:44.502
A gold sash around his chest.
00:13:44.502 --> 00:13:47.672
His eyes blazed like fire, and out of his mouth
00:13:47.672 --> 00:13:50.975
His voice sounded like the voice of many waters.
00:13:50.975 --> 00:13:54.178
His feet were like brass.
00:13:54.178 --> 00:13:56.114
And he said to me, now that's the first word
00:13:56.114 --> 00:14:01.486
I received on patmos is god says to me in my spirit.
00:14:01.486 --> 00:14:06.090
When i said that to john.
00:14:06.090 --> 00:14:09.227
And this gives me chills.
00:14:09.227 --> 00:14:10.561
But here's what you got to remember, folks.
00:14:10.561 --> 00:14:12.096
John is the only apostle left,
00:14:12.096 --> 00:14:14.165
And john was the last one at the cross.
00:14:14.165 --> 00:14:17.969
No one saw the bloody christ like john had seen him.
00:14:17.969 --> 00:14:22.407
And that's the last image he had in his mind.
00:14:22.407 --> 00:14:25.977
That's what john has in his mind now.
00:14:25.977 --> 00:14:29.447
He's on a deserted island, and the resurrected, glorified
00:14:29.447 --> 00:14:34.118
Jesus standing behind him, calls him to turn and look.
00:14:34.118 --> 00:14:39.524
Here's what i'm inviting us to in this special today.
00:14:39.524 --> 00:14:43.294
All of us, and i might say, most of us in christianity
00:14:43.294 --> 00:14:47.932
Need to hear the voice of god and turn and look back
00:14:47.932 --> 00:14:53.271
And pick up a fresh new image of a resurrected jesus.
00:14:53.271 --> 00:14:57.942
We have done enough to respect
00:14:57.942 --> 00:15:02.313
And understand the place of the cross.
00:15:02.313 --> 00:15:04.215
Look, if there's no cross, there's no resurrection.
00:15:04.215 --> 00:15:06.884
I get that.
00:15:06.884 --> 00:15:08.252
But the word crucifixion, that
00:15:08.252 --> 00:15:10.755
We get the word crucifix that we make jewelry of.
00:15:10.755 --> 00:15:14.058
Crucifix means to fix to a cross.
00:15:14.058 --> 00:15:18.129
That's not where jesus is.
00:15:18.696 --> 00:15:21.332
We need a new picture of him.
00:15:21.332 --> 00:15:23.868
He is the resurrected one and only glorified
00:15:23.868 --> 00:15:28.206
Alpha and omega, and he's got a new word for us.
00:15:28.206 --> 00:15:32.610
And it happened on patmos.
00:15:33.177 --> 00:15:36.147
John got a new vision of resurrected christ.
00:15:36.147 --> 00:15:41.252
And i'm going to submit that we need the same thing.
00:15:41.252 --> 00:15:44.756
He is not dead on the cross.
00:15:44.756 --> 00:15:47.258
He is not wounded in his body.
00:15:47.258 --> 00:15:50.128
He rules and reigns as a glorious lion of judah.
00:15:50.128 --> 00:15:55.099
Now let me set up this song.
00:15:55.666 --> 00:15:58.569
This is when i saw the hand of god on it.
00:15:58.569 --> 00:16:01.305
I am on patmos.
00:16:01.305 --> 00:16:02.907
I go for a walk.
00:16:02.907 --> 00:16:04.409
I'm coming up from the beach.
00:16:04.409 --> 00:16:06.010
I'm on a little paved trail and my phone, of all things
00:16:06.010 --> 00:16:10.348
In my pocket that i had got no calls on, beeps with a text.
00:16:10.348 --> 00:16:15.286
And i look at my phone and it's from david binion,
00:16:15.286 --> 00:16:18.823
Who has no idea where i am, and says, mike,
00:16:18.823 --> 00:16:22.126
When you get time, listen to this first recording.
00:16:22.126 --> 00:16:25.496
Come on, it's not finished, but it's the first song
00:16:25.496 --> 00:16:28.900
Of our album of revelation is called patmos.
00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:32.703
Oh, geez.
00:16:33.004 --> 00:16:35.373
I looked at that and realized
00:16:36.007 --> 00:16:38.109
David has no idea that i'm on patmos.
00:16:38.109 --> 00:16:41.612
And i press the button and i listen to the song
00:16:41.612 --> 00:16:45.850
And i wept.
00:16:46.184 --> 00:16:48.119
I saw that god had something he was doing
00:16:48.119 --> 00:16:51.722
That was so much bigger than me.
00:16:51.722 --> 00:16:54.459
But we have a job now that a lot of people
00:16:54.459 --> 00:16:57.895
Are joining us in a glorious new picture
00:16:57.895 --> 00:17:00.998
From patmos of resurrected christ.
00:17:00.998 --> 00:17:05.470
Beaten and bruised
00:17:05.903 --> 00:17:09.040
Boiled, abused
00:17:09.040 --> 00:17:12.810
Somehow i keep on breathing.
00:17:12.810 --> 00:17:19.183
Slave to the truth
00:17:19.183 --> 00:17:22.653
Exiled, accused
00:17:22.653 --> 00:17:25.656
The wages of my believing.
00:17:25.656 --> 00:17:31.996
But i don't have to be afraid
00:17:31.996 --> 00:17:38.636
I know who's with me in this cave
00:17:38.636 --> 00:17:49.013
Even in my darkest hour
00:17:49.547 --> 00:17:56.187
I know there's a fresh encounter.
00:17:56.187 --> 00:18:02.093
Find me on my knees.
00:18:02.527 --> 00:18:05.696
My heart still believes
00:18:05.696 --> 00:18:09.000
I can recognize your presence.
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:14.672
Drawing me to highest heaven.
00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:21.245
Find me on my knees.
00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:24.949
Let my spirit see.
00:18:24.949 --> 00:18:27.818
There's beauty on the island of patmos.
00:18:27.818 --> 00:18:39.830
There█s beauty on the island of patmos
00:18:40.665 --> 00:18:52.610
There's beauty on the island of patmos.
00:18:53.411 --> 00:19:04.589
There's beauty on the island of patmos.
00:19:05.389 --> 00:19:18.369
Meet me on the island of patmos.
00:19:19.103 --> 00:19:28.746
That's the song?
00:19:29.113 --> 00:19:30.548
That you were walking up and hearing?
00:19:30.548 --> 00:19:33.451
That's how you got introduced to that song.
00:19:33.451 --> 00:19:36.287
It is. i had never heard it.
00:19:36.287 --> 00:19:38.789
I'm on the island.
00:19:38.789 --> 00:19:40.124
And david texted to me and i listened to it.
00:19:40.124 --> 00:19:44.929
How could you not be moved?
00:19:44.929 --> 00:19:46.631
How could you not see that god has this glorious plan?
00:19:46.631 --> 00:19:49.567
Because frankly, this assignment feels bigger
00:19:49.567 --> 00:19:52.603
Than i can do anything about it.
00:19:52.603 --> 00:19:54.105
Yeah, but i saw hope because the next vision.
00:19:54.105 --> 00:20:01.679
That john has is in revelation chapter five.
00:20:02.613 --> 00:20:06.183
He sees a vision of the throne room,
00:20:06.183 --> 00:20:08.919
And he sees in the right hand of god the scrolls.
00:20:08.919 --> 00:20:11.522
Now, the last time
00:20:11.522 --> 00:20:12.757
The scrolls have been mentioned is by the prophet daniel.
00:20:12.757 --> 00:20:16.327
But when daniel asks about the scrolls, god
00:20:16.327 --> 00:20:19.230
Says you can't open them there for another time.
00:20:19.230 --> 00:20:23.401
So the scrolls weren't opened in daniel's day.
00:20:23.401 --> 00:20:26.937
But now john sees god holding scrolls
00:20:26.937 --> 00:20:30.908
And says, who is worthy to unlatch these scrolls
00:20:30.908 --> 00:20:35.379
So that they can be read because the scrolls contain
00:20:35.379 --> 00:20:38.649
The plan of god for all future. wow.
00:20:38.649 --> 00:20:42.787
And it says there is no one worthy.
00:20:43.587 --> 00:20:45.990
And john said, when i saw that and heard that,
00:20:45.990 --> 00:20:49.360
I wept,
00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:50.795
That no one was worthy to open the scrolls. so
00:20:50.795 --> 00:20:54.765
We walked blindly, not knowing what god's future plan is.
00:20:54.765 --> 00:20:59.503
And then i heard a voice and an angel
00:20:59.503 --> 00:21:01.906
Set his hand on my shoulder and said, don't weep, john.
00:21:01.906 --> 00:21:04.809
There is one that is worthy to behold.
00:21:04.809 --> 00:21:09.213
The lion of judah
00:21:09.213 --> 00:21:11.882
That has overcome.
00:21:11.882 --> 00:21:14.885
So john says, i turned,
00:21:14.885 --> 00:21:17.321
And this is the vision that john saw.
00:21:17.321 --> 00:21:19.523
And this is what broke me.
00:21:19.523 --> 00:21:21.092
The angel said, look and see the lion of the tribe of judah.
00:21:21.092 --> 00:21:24.495
But i looked and saw a lamb wounded,
00:21:24.495 --> 00:21:28.432
As had been killed.
00:21:28.432 --> 00:21:31.335
But standing
00:21:31.335 --> 00:21:33.938
In the midst of the throne.
00:21:33.938 --> 00:21:36.841
And when i saw this picture.
00:21:36.841 --> 00:21:40.478
Of a baby lamb
00:21:40.845 --> 00:21:41.946
Wounded from hoof to horn,
00:21:41.946 --> 00:21:45.249
But not laying, standing
00:21:45.750 --> 00:21:49.487
In the middle of the throne of god.
00:21:49.487 --> 00:21:52.223
The whole picture of
00:21:52.223 --> 00:21:54.692
Resurrection began to come together for me.
00:21:54.692 --> 00:21:57.061
And that's why i said, my hope is that we
00:21:57.061 --> 00:21:59.397
See so much more to resurrection than what we've seen.
00:21:59.397 --> 00:22:03.167
Resurrection starts with jesus because right now
00:22:03.167 --> 00:22:06.837
He's the one and only. so he died.
00:22:06.837 --> 00:22:10.107
He resurrected, he ascended,
00:22:10.107 --> 00:22:12.810
He was enthroned, and he rules.
00:22:12.810 --> 00:22:15.713
And he's coming back.
00:22:15.713 --> 00:22:17.882
That's all a part of the picture of resurrection.
00:22:17.882 --> 00:22:21.185
Why do we know that?
00:22:21.185 --> 00:22:22.453
Because he's a wounded lamb.
00:22:22.453 --> 00:22:24.789
That's the crucifixion.
00:22:24.789 --> 00:22:26.524
He's standing.
00:22:26.524 --> 00:22:28.159
That's the resurrection.
00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:30.027
He's in the middle of the throne in heaven.
00:22:30.027 --> 00:22:33.197
That's the ascension and the rule of christ.
00:22:33.197 --> 00:22:36.534
It's all picture in that one vision.
00:22:36.534 --> 00:22:40.704
I understand that judaism teaches
00:22:41.472 --> 00:22:43.441
That jesus was a real figure in history, a jewish rabbi
00:22:43.441 --> 00:22:47.645
That upset the romans and was killed for it and is still dead.
00:22:47.645 --> 00:22:52.817
Islam teaches he was a son of god
00:22:52.817 --> 00:22:55.519
And a prophet and a son of god, and a prophet cannot die,
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.290
So he must have gone back to heaven because he didn't die.
00:22:59.290 --> 00:23:03.160
So judaism says he died but is still dead.
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.464
Islam says he didn't die, so he must have gone back
00:23:06.464 --> 00:23:09.767
To heaven.
00:23:09.767 --> 00:23:11.068
Christianity says from biblical narrative he lived perfectly.
00:23:11.068 --> 00:23:16.807
He died horribly.
00:23:16.807 --> 00:23:18.809
He was raised again, gloriously.
00:23:18.809 --> 00:23:21.312
He ascended to the right hand of the father.
00:23:21.312 --> 00:23:23.614
He sits with power in the throne,
00:23:23.614 --> 00:23:26.417
And he's coming back to rule and reign forever.
00:23:26.417 --> 00:23:28.886
That's what we believe is all included in the resurrection.
00:23:28.886 --> 00:23:34.925
So this little part of the talk
00:23:35.593 --> 00:23:37.828
I call, “the standing lamb.”
00:23:37.828 --> 00:23:44.335
Come up here.
00:23:44.702 --> 00:23:51.008
Come up here.
00:23:51.375 --> 00:23:56.313
Come up higher.
00:23:56.313 --> 00:24:04.221
Come up here.
00:24:04.588 --> 00:24:10.828
Come up here.
00:24:11.195 --> 00:24:15.933
Come up higher.
00:24:15.933 --> 00:24:31.148
I see the throne.
00:24:31.582 --> 00:24:35.386
I see the one as brilliant as gemstone.
00:24:35.386 --> 00:24:44.461
I see the glow that swirls around
00:24:45.195 --> 00:24:51.502
The brightest of rainbows.
00:24:51.502 --> 00:24:57.641
And from the throne a thunderous roar
00:24:58.475 --> 00:25:05.115
And flashes of lightning.
00:25:05.115 --> 00:25:11.755
The seven flames all stand ablaze
00:25:11.755 --> 00:25:18.195
The spirit█s inviting
00:25:18.195 --> 00:25:24.034
Come up here
00:25:24.034 --> 00:25:30.407
Come up here
00:25:30.708 --> 00:25:35.679
Come up higher
00:25:35.679 --> 00:25:50.661
The elders clothed in whitest robes
00:25:51.395 --> 00:25:58.302
With crowns that are golden
00:25:58.302 --> 00:26:04.341
They all fall down
00:26:04.341 --> 00:26:08.012
They cast their crowns
00:26:08.012 --> 00:26:11.315
And worship before him.
00:26:11.315 --> 00:26:15.319
Oh,
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:17.855
Four beings rise with wings and eyes
00:26:17.855 --> 00:26:24.561
Magnificent faces
00:26:24.561 --> 00:26:30.801
The great reprise both day and night
00:26:30.801 --> 00:26:37.741
They all keep on saying
00:26:37.741 --> 00:26:43.580
Holy, holy
00:26:43.580 --> 00:26:49.953
Holy is the lord god almighty,
00:26:49.953 --> 00:27:03.067
The one who always was
00:27:03.067 --> 00:27:06.370
Who is and is to come.
00:27:06.370 --> 00:27:10.140
Holy, holy
00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:16.513
Holy is the lord god almighty,
00:27:16.513 --> 00:27:28.992
The one who always was
00:27:28.992 --> 00:27:32.830
Who is and is to come
00:27:32.830 --> 00:27:39.103
So come up here
00:27:39.503 --> 00:27:46.043
Come up here
00:27:46.343 --> 00:27:51.215
Come up higher
00:27:51.215 --> 00:28:04.561
Come up higher.
00:27:57.788 --> 00:28:11.101
Come up higher
00:28:11.101 --> 00:28:37.227
Come up higher
00:28:37.594 --> 00:28:50.707
Come up higher
00:28:51.074 --> 00:28:58.382
Come up higher
00:28:58.749 --> 00:29:05.389
He is high and lifted up
00:29:05.389 --> 00:29:20.437
That song introduces from revelation twelve and five.
00:29:21.438 --> 00:29:26.577
All of us are going to be taken up in the spirit of what he is.
00:29:26.577 --> 00:29:31.381
But when i say jesus is the one and only resurrected,
00:29:31.381 --> 00:29:35.986
You see those loved ones that have passed,
00:29:35.986 --> 00:29:38.889
Your mom and dad and mine,
00:29:38.889 --> 00:29:41.992
They are
00:29:42.226 --> 00:29:43.160
In a place of comfort and joy spiritually.
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:46.563
Their bodies are decayed.
00:29:46.563 --> 00:29:51.001
They are not reunited with their body.
00:29:51.001 --> 00:29:53.036
That doesn't happen until the day of resurrection.
00:29:53.036 --> 00:29:55.873
So that means that jesus is the only one.
00:29:55.873 --> 00:29:58.442
When jesus ascended into the heavens, he went in bodily form
00:29:58.442 --> 00:30:02.746
Because what was resurrected was all of him.
00:30:02.746 --> 00:30:05.849
There was no body left behind to decay,
00:30:05.849 --> 00:30:08.886
So he is there in the form we will be.
00:30:08.886 --> 00:30:12.456
And i love this.
00:30:12.456 --> 00:30:13.657
In revelation five, the king james says that he was caught
00:30:13.657 --> 00:30:17.160
Up to the highest heaven.
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.962
The niv that i was reading this week.
00:30:18.962 --> 00:30:22.165
I like it because i can almost see the father doing like this.
00:30:22.165 --> 00:30:25.736
He's paid the price he's raised from the dead.
00:30:25.736 --> 00:30:28.639
He's greeted the apostles now get back up here.
00:30:28.639 --> 00:30:32.376
We got stuff to do.
00:30:32.376 --> 00:30:33.777
The niv from the greek
00:30:33.777 --> 00:30:35.078
Says he was snatched back to the highest place in heaven.
00:30:35.078 --> 00:30:39.416
No lollygagging.
00:30:39.416 --> 00:30:40.984
Get back up here
00:30:40.984 --> 00:30:42.152
And get on the throne because we got changes to make.
00:30:42.152 --> 00:30:45.689
So i want to do something really quickly
00:30:45.689 --> 00:30:47.424
With this segment, and it leads to you all this next song.
00:30:47.424 --> 00:30:50.127
I'm enjoying all of them so much.
00:30:50.127 --> 00:30:53.230
So i'm going to give you the easiest way
00:30:53.230 --> 00:30:55.832
There is to understand what the whole
00:30:55.832 --> 00:30:57.367
Book of revelation is about.
00:30:57.367 --> 00:30:59.636
Early jewish writers often did this.
00:30:59.636 --> 00:31:02.105
They wrote in what we call a chiasm
00:31:02.105 --> 00:31:05.042
Or we know the word catechism.
00:31:05.042 --> 00:31:06.944
It's similar, but chiastic arch is a method of writing that
00:31:06.944 --> 00:31:11.815
The jewish authors would write, which builds to a central focus
00:31:11.815 --> 00:31:17.321
And then descends by repeating most of what the first half of
00:31:17.321 --> 00:31:20.958
It was about.
00:31:20.958 --> 00:31:22.125
There are other books of the bible written chiastically
00:31:22.125 --> 00:31:25.896
But certainly revelation is.
00:31:25.896 --> 00:31:28.332
So let me give you a secret.
00:31:28.332 --> 00:31:30.434
There are 22 chapters in revelation,
00:31:30.434 --> 00:31:33.070
So if it's written chiastically that means the apex
00:31:33.070 --> 00:31:36.406
Of the meaning of the whole book has to be in chapter 11,
00:31:36.406 --> 00:31:39.843
Because chapter 11 is the halfway point
00:31:39.843 --> 00:31:42.746
And it's not the middle of the book,
00:31:42.746 --> 00:31:44.348
It's the high point of the book.
00:31:44.348 --> 00:31:46.149
Then if you go to almost exactly the words
00:31:46.149 --> 00:31:50.721
In chapter 11 of the middle
00:31:50.721 --> 00:31:52.823
Of the chapter, it's the 15th verse.
00:31:52.823 --> 00:31:56.793
So revelation chapter 11, verse number 15
00:31:56.793 --> 00:32:02.265
Is the definition
00:32:02.265 --> 00:32:03.533
Of the purpose of the glory of the entire book of revelation.
00:32:03.533 --> 00:32:07.537
And what does that verse say?
00:32:07.537 --> 00:32:10.374
The kingdoms of this world
00:32:10.374 --> 00:32:13.443
Shall become the kingdoms of our lord
00:32:13.443 --> 00:32:16.980
And of his messiah, and he will reign forever.
00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:22.085
So if you want to put aside all the symbols
00:32:22.085 --> 00:32:26.189
And all the empires and all the battles,
00:32:26.189 --> 00:32:30.293
The purpose of the book of revelation is to understand that
00:32:30.293 --> 00:32:34.164
A glorified and resurrected jesus is going to take over
00:32:34.164 --> 00:32:39.169
Rule of a chaotic world and set it right.
00:32:39.169 --> 00:32:44.374
And that's what revelations about.
00:32:44.374 --> 00:32:46.843
It doesn't mean we won't have battles.
00:32:46.843 --> 00:32:48.745
It doesn't mean we don't have to go through things.
00:32:48.745 --> 00:32:51.348
It means that ultimately, the king of kings
00:32:51.348 --> 00:32:54.918
And the lord of lords is going to return to this planet
00:32:54.918 --> 00:32:59.156
And set up a kingdom that will never end.
00:32:59.156 --> 00:33:02.559
And that's what the book of revelation is about.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.128
Yes, he is the king.
00:33:05.128 --> 00:33:06.997
He is the lord of lords.
00:33:06.997 --> 00:33:08.331
And john's vision started with a picture of him glorified.
00:33:08.331 --> 00:33:13.270
And in the apex middle of the book.
00:33:13.270 --> 00:33:16.173
The next song says it perfectly.
00:33:16.173 --> 00:33:18.108
He is the king of kings and the lord of lords.
00:33:18.108 --> 00:33:20.477
That's what all of revelations about.
00:33:20.477 --> 00:33:37.761
See the rider a horse of white
00:33:38.428 --> 00:33:44.367
Angel armies in battle lines
00:33:44.367 --> 00:33:50.140
There's a fire in your eyes.
00:33:50.140 --> 00:33:56.880
As you come riding
00:33:57.314 --> 00:34:00.450
As you come riding
00:34:00.450 --> 00:34:04.054
On your head are many crowns.
00:34:04.054 --> 00:34:10.193
A mighty sword comes from your mouth.
00:34:10.193 --> 00:34:15.866
Kingdoms rise you strike them down.
00:34:16.666 --> 00:34:22.105
As you come riding.
00:34:22.572 --> 00:34:29.279
King of kings and lord of lords
00:34:25.742 --> 00:34:34.618
The victory is yours.
00:34:34.618 --> 00:34:41.591
In perfect judgement you wage war
00:34:37.821 --> 00:34:47.097
And the victory is yours.
00:34:47.097 --> 00:34:50.400
The victory is yours.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:35:00.544
You are faithful.
00:35:00.977 --> 00:35:03.246
You are true.
00:35:03.246 --> 00:35:06.683
There is no defying you.
00:35:07.184 --> 00:35:12.889
Sovereign strong.
00:35:13.323 --> 00:35:15.458
You will subdue
00:35:15.458 --> 00:35:18.995
As you come riding
00:35:19.429 --> 00:35:22.566
As you come riding
00:35:22.566 --> 00:35:26.136
King of kings and lord of lords.
00:35:26.136 --> 00:35:31.441
The victory is yours.
00:35:31.441 --> 00:35:38.415
In perfect judgement
00:35:34.678 --> 00:35:41.184
You wage war
00:35:41.184 --> 00:35:43.920
And the victory is yours.
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:47.257
The victory is yours.
00:35:47.257 --> 00:35:52.996
King of kings and lord of lords.
00:35:52.996 --> 00:35:58.735
Jesus, you will reign
00:35:59.236 --> 00:36:02.439
For evermore.
00:36:02.439 --> 00:36:05.642
Hallelujah!
00:36:05.642 --> 00:36:08.778
Hear us roar
00:36:08.778 --> 00:36:11.848
Jesus, you will reign
00:36:11.848 --> 00:36:15.085
Forevermore.
00:36:15.085 --> 00:36:18.188
King of kings
00:36:18.188 --> 00:36:21.291
And lord of lords.
00:36:21.291 --> 00:36:24.494
Jesus, you will reign forevermore
00:36:24.494 --> 00:36:30.900
Hallelujah
00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:34.571
Here us roar.
00:36:34.571 --> 00:36:37.941
Jesus you will reign forevermore.
00:36:37.941 --> 00:36:44.814
Oh, king of kings.
00:36:44.814 --> 00:36:47.117
And lord of lords.
00:36:47.117 --> 00:36:50.253
And the victory is yours.
00:36:50.253 --> 00:36:53.590
The victory is yours.
00:36:53.590 --> 00:36:57.327
With perfect judgement
00:36:57.327 --> 00:37:00.096
The victory is yours
00:37:00.096 --> 00:37:02.899
And the victory is yours.
00:37:02.899 --> 00:37:06.002
The victory is yours.
00:37:06.002 --> 00:37:08.805
King of kings.
00:37:08.805 --> 00:37:10.740
Oh lord of lords,
00:37:10.740 --> 00:37:15.045
Jesus you will reign forevermore.
00:37:15.045 --> 00:37:20.617
Hallelujah
00:37:20.617 --> 00:37:25.055
Hear us roar.
00:37:25.055 --> 00:37:27.691
Jesus you will reign forevermore.
00:37:27.691 --> 00:37:39.836
Jesus you will reign forevermore.
00:37:40.503 --> 00:38:11.735
Oh my gosh,
00:38:12.068 --> 00:38:14.671
If you just tuned in, welcome to this praise program.
00:38:14.671 --> 00:38:19.142
You know, i feel like we're
00:38:19.142 --> 00:38:20.543
Almost accidentally putting on a cantanta
00:38:20.543 --> 00:38:22.812
You know, we're just a few costumes short,
00:38:22.812 --> 00:38:25.281
You know, doing it.
00:38:25.281 --> 00:38:26.416
I feel like i need a tuxedo t shirt and some wings
00:38:26.416 --> 00:38:29.986
And maybe a crown and, you know,
00:38:29.986 --> 00:38:32.555
If we had
00:38:32.856 --> 00:38:33.790
A few flag dancers, i think we we would.
00:38:33.790 --> 00:38:36.326
I mean, seriously, that'd be awesome.
00:38:36.326 --> 00:38:38.294
Yeah.
00:38:38.294 --> 00:38:38.962
What are we?
00:38:38.962 --> 00:38:39.863
In case somebody tuned in?
00:38:39.863 --> 00:38:41.765
You're driving a narrative, mike.
00:38:41.765 --> 00:38:44.401
And i think that i would love to make sure that someone
00:38:44.401 --> 00:38:48.037
Understands clearly what we're trying to say here
00:38:48.037 --> 00:38:52.275
That, these songs
00:38:52.275 --> 00:38:56.379
That come from the book of revelation,
00:38:56.379 --> 00:38:58.882
The narrative that you're driving,
00:38:58.882 --> 00:39:01.217
What are you trying to say to us as we kind of move
00:39:01.217 --> 00:39:04.120
Into the final bits and parts here?
00:39:04.120 --> 00:39:07.457
Well, thank you.
00:39:07.457 --> 00:39:08.658
That's a great question, matt.
00:39:08.658 --> 00:39:10.026
And what we are saying is, the book of revelation
00:39:10.026 --> 00:39:13.763
Has been sadly short changed in what its real purpose is.
00:39:13.763 --> 00:39:17.434
It's not about wars, it's not about monsters.
00:39:17.434 --> 00:39:20.670
It was written to a small
00:39:20.670 --> 00:39:22.172
Community of seven churches that were being persecuted.
00:39:22.172 --> 00:39:25.775
And what god told john in the revelation was,
00:39:25.775 --> 00:39:28.611
I will show you things that are soon to come. so what did he do?
00:39:28.611 --> 00:39:33.049
He ascended to heaven.
00:39:33.049 --> 00:39:35.084
He was enthroned and seated as lord of lords.
00:39:35.084 --> 00:39:38.988
He's coming back to a renewed earth to rule and reign.
00:39:38.988 --> 00:39:44.127
Another thing we've shortchanged, changed
00:39:44.127 --> 00:39:46.529
In modern christianity is what we call salvation.
00:39:46.529 --> 00:39:50.133
We talk a lot about being saved, getting people saved, and
00:39:50.133 --> 00:39:54.671
And we stop there because for most people, we have either.
00:39:54.671 --> 00:39:58.708
Look, i'm all for reducing it down to simple understanding
00:39:58.708 --> 00:40:02.946
So anyone can comprehend.
00:40:02.946 --> 00:40:06.216
I'm not for dumbing it down to the point
00:40:06.216 --> 00:40:08.585
Where we leave out major parts.
00:40:08.585 --> 00:40:11.821
If you believe that we are saved because of the death of jesus
00:40:11.821 --> 00:40:15.959
To go to heaven when we die, then we have this dilemma.
00:40:15.959 --> 00:40:20.196
What are we supposed to do with the next 50, 60,
00:40:20.196 --> 00:40:22.799
70, 80 years waiting to die?
00:40:22.799 --> 00:40:26.336
No salvation.
00:40:26.703 --> 00:40:28.404
The greek word is sozo and it has three tenses.
00:40:28.404 --> 00:40:32.208
It means i was saved.
00:40:32.208 --> 00:40:34.577
I am being saved.
00:40:34.577 --> 00:40:36.513
I shall be saved.
00:40:36.513 --> 00:40:38.915
So let's apply that i was saved.
00:40:38.915 --> 00:40:41.618
You can mark the date where you accepted
00:40:41.618 --> 00:40:43.953
Christ were baptized. that's wonderful.
00:40:43.953 --> 00:40:46.723
But what are you doing with your life right now?
00:40:46.723 --> 00:40:49.158
How about living for the kingdom?
00:40:49.158 --> 00:40:51.394
That's the part that is.
00:40:51.394 --> 00:40:52.562
I am being saved.
00:40:52.562 --> 00:40:54.597
Victory! the victory faith. the faith.
00:40:54.597 --> 00:40:56.966
God keeps us. god watches us.
00:40:56.966 --> 00:40:59.569
God empowers us. god speaks to us.
00:40:59.569 --> 00:41:01.938
God uses us. i am being saved.
00:41:01.938 --> 00:41:05.975
And then i shall be saved,
00:41:05.975 --> 00:41:08.211
Because he either comes again and i welcome him back,
00:41:08.211 --> 00:41:11.848
Or i die, and i participate in the glorious resurrection,
00:41:11.848 --> 00:41:16.452
But i will be saved.
00:41:16.452 --> 00:41:18.321
So we're not including nearly enough.
00:41:18.321 --> 00:41:20.823
This package features a lot more than accepting jesus
00:41:20.823 --> 00:41:25.261
So you can go to heaven when you die.
00:41:25.261 --> 00:41:27.063
What about your life now?
00:41:27.063 --> 00:41:29.065
And i wish i could speak this to 280 million confessing
00:41:29.065 --> 00:41:34.003
Christians in america alone that don't understand.
00:41:34.003 --> 00:41:37.941
We have a job to do.
00:41:37.941 --> 00:41:39.876
We may be still in babylon, but the kingdom is coming.
00:41:39.876 --> 00:41:43.813
And we are, paul said, ambassadors of that kingdom.
00:41:43.813 --> 00:41:48.051
So what we're trying to say, matt, is there is more to come,
00:41:48.051 --> 00:41:51.721
And i'll finish with this.
00:41:51.721 --> 00:41:52.989
I think it's the greatest declaration of creativity
00:41:52.989 --> 00:41:56.893
That god has ever uttered,
00:41:56.893 --> 00:41:58.394
Even greater than let there be light,
00:41:58.394 --> 00:42:01.197
Because that was creating new out of something.
00:42:01.197 --> 00:42:07.170
And he created all that we know,
00:42:07.170 --> 00:42:10.039
And we have done a really good job of messing that up.
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:13.943
But in revelation 21,
00:42:13.943 --> 00:42:16.913
The victorious god that we've sung about in this special today
00:42:16.913 --> 00:42:21.584
Is going to make the greatest declaration of creativity
00:42:21.584 --> 00:42:24.487
That's ever been made.
00:42:24.487 --> 00:42:25.989
He's going to say, behold, i am making all things new.
00:42:25.989 --> 00:42:31.728
Now, i'm not a greek scholar, but i can look it up
00:42:31.728 --> 00:42:34.297
Like you can. i encourage you to do that?
00:42:34.297 --> 00:42:36.899
And i did this in my research that's going in our book.
00:42:36.899 --> 00:42:40.303
And here's what the phrase actually says.
00:42:40.303 --> 00:42:43.606
Behold, present tense.
00:42:43.606 --> 00:42:45.908
I am making all things new again.
00:42:45.908 --> 00:42:51.014
I want you to notice i'm not just trying to be picky.
00:42:52.015 --> 00:42:56.252
This is a hugely different statement.
00:42:56.252 --> 00:42:59.255
He could say, behold, i'm making new things.
00:42:59.255 --> 00:43:02.525
That's not what he said.
00:43:02.525 --> 00:43:04.193
He didn't say, i'm making new things.
00:43:04.193 --> 00:43:06.362
He said, i'm making all things new again.
00:43:06.362 --> 00:43:11.501
So the resurrection has been squeezed into too small a box.
00:43:11.501 --> 00:43:15.138
It's not just about ezekiel's vision of bringing bone to bone.
00:43:15.138 --> 00:43:18.441
So we stand back up at the resurrection,
00:43:18.441 --> 00:43:21.711
Know he makes all things new again.
00:43:21.711 --> 00:43:24.847
So that means the oceans and the earth and the mountains
00:43:24.847 --> 00:43:28.017
And the clouds and the terrafirma.
00:43:28.017 --> 00:43:30.553
No more violent weather, no more hurricanes.
00:43:30.553 --> 00:43:33.256
It's watered from beneath
00:43:33.256 --> 00:43:34.857
It's garden of eden, but the whole planet
00:43:34.857 --> 00:43:37.860
And the new jerusalem settles down in it
00:43:37.860 --> 00:43:40.430
With the authority of jesus.
00:43:40.430 --> 00:43:42.365
And we live forever and ever in a made new kingdom.
00:43:42.365 --> 00:43:46.836
Why is god doing this?
00:43:47.336 --> 00:43:48.838
I don't know why he's doing it this way,
00:43:48.838 --> 00:43:50.907
Because he could have destroyed it all and started over easier.
00:43:50.907 --> 00:43:54.811
Because the bible is a book where we'd already ruined it.
00:43:55.978 --> 00:43:58.481
Three chapters in,
00:43:58.481 --> 00:44:01.050
We're already killing each other.
00:44:01.050 --> 00:44:02.418
Three chapters in,
00:44:02.418 --> 00:44:04.654
And it takes the entirety of the scripture
00:44:04.654 --> 00:44:06.756
To get us to the last chapter.
00:44:06.756 --> 00:44:08.291
Okay, i've fixed everything and put it in place,
00:44:08.291 --> 00:44:11.961
Paid the price for my own blood,
00:44:11.961 --> 00:44:14.197
Came back and ruled from heaven.
00:44:14.197 --> 00:44:16.265
I'm making all things new again
00:44:16.265 --> 00:44:20.036
For my people, and we're going to rule and reign forever.
00:44:20.036 --> 00:44:23.706
That's the message of revelation.
00:44:23.706 --> 00:44:25.274
That's the message of the gospel.
00:44:25.274 --> 00:44:27.443
It's not just being saved to go to heaven when you die.
00:44:27.443 --> 00:44:31.180
It is living an unbelievable life of joy and creativity now.
00:44:31.180 --> 00:44:36.719
So you say, what should i do?
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.955
Plant a garden?
00:44:38.955 --> 00:44:40.823
That's right.
00:44:40.823 --> 00:44:41.824
Go buy a new dress.
00:44:41.824 --> 00:44:43.259
Yes. change the oil in your car.
00:44:43.259 --> 00:44:45.795
Send your kids to college.
00:44:45.795 --> 00:44:47.830
Raise a great business up.
00:44:47.830 --> 00:44:50.032
Do kingdom work in babylon because the new jerusalem is
00:44:50.032 --> 00:44:53.636
Coming. that's the message.
00:44:53.636 --> 00:45:04.714
Oh yes.
00:45:04.981 --> 00:45:05.681
Yes yes yes.
00:45:05.681 --> 00:45:08.551
All things you are making.
00:45:08.551 --> 00:45:13.356
All things, all things new.
00:45:13.356 --> 00:45:18.194
All things
00:45:18.194 --> 00:45:20.463
You are making.
00:45:20.463 --> 00:45:22.932
All things, all things new.
00:45:22.932 --> 00:45:27.770
All things you are making
00:45:27.770 --> 00:45:32.575
All things, all things
00:45:32.575 --> 00:45:36.145
You all things
00:45:36.145 --> 00:45:39.615
You are making all things,
00:45:39.615 --> 00:45:44.120
All things new.
00:45:44.520 --> 00:45:53.930
Oh
00:45:54.096 --> 00:46:05.374
Out of heaven from your presence.
00:46:06.142 --> 00:46:10.880
Like a bride prepared for a wedding.
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:15.484
Holy city, new jerusalem
00:46:15.484 --> 00:46:22.658
You will come and tabernacle
00:46:22.658 --> 00:46:30.132
Dwell among your holy people.
00:46:30.132 --> 00:46:34.904
Every elder, saint, and seraphim
00:46:34.904 --> 00:46:41.677
Oh, all things
00:46:42.044 --> 00:46:46.315
You are making all things,
00:46:46.883 --> 00:46:51.287
All things new.
00:46:51.687 --> 00:46:54.190
All things. you are making all things
00:46:54.190 --> 00:47:00.763
All things new. all things
00:47:01.330 --> 00:47:05.701
You are making
00:47:06.068 --> 00:47:08.804
All things new. all things
00:47:08.804 --> 00:47:13.309
All things you are you.
00:47:13.309 --> 00:47:16.445
You're making all things.
00:47:16.445 --> 00:47:20.182
All things new. yea.
00:47:20.182 --> 00:47:40.503
No more wounds.
00:47:40.903 --> 00:47:45.474
No more pain.
00:47:45.474 --> 00:47:50.479
Every tear.
00:47:50.479 --> 00:47:55.217
Wiped away.
00:47:55.217 --> 00:48:00.122
None will weep.
00:48:00.122 --> 00:48:05.161
None will mourn.
00:48:05.161 --> 00:48:09.632
Death is dead.
00:48:09.632 --> 00:48:14.704
Old is gone.
00:48:14.704 --> 00:48:19.942
No more wounds.
00:48:19.942 --> 00:48:24.513
No more pain.
00:48:24.513 --> 00:48:29.518
Every tear.
00:48:29.518 --> 00:48:34.256
Wiped away.
00:48:34.256 --> 00:48:39.161
None will weep.
00:48:39.161 --> 00:48:44.200
None will mourn.
00:48:44.200 --> 00:48:48.671
Death is dead.
00:48:48.671 --> 00:48:53.743
Old is gone.
00:48:53.743 --> 00:48:58.914
All things you are making.
00:48:58.914 --> 00:49:03.786
All things, all things new.
00:49:03.786 --> 00:49:08.491
All things you are making all things new.
00:49:08.491 --> 00:49:17.400
All things you are making all things
00:49:18.200 --> 00:49:25.107
All things new
00:49:25.107 --> 00:49:27.943
All things
00:49:27.943 --> 00:49:30.246
You are making all things,
00:49:30.246 --> 00:49:38.554
Oh, you're redeeming it all.
00:49:39.121 --> 00:49:43.526
Yeah, yeah, you're redeeming it all.
00:49:43.526 --> 00:49:50.066
All things new
00:49:50.433 --> 00:49:55.805
Out of heaven from your presence.
00:49:56.539 --> 00:50:01.243
Like a bride prepared for a wedding.
00:50:01.243 --> 00:50:06.115
Holy city, new jerusalem.
00:50:06.115 --> 00:50:20.896
All right.
00:50:21.197 --> 00:50:22.131
I want to pray for us here as we finish.
00:50:22.131 --> 00:50:23.833
Thank you, matt and laurie, for allowing this mighty voice
00:50:23.833 --> 00:50:28.871
Of tbn to carry something that
00:50:28.871 --> 00:50:32.842
I think not only has meaning, but is so necessary for us.
00:50:32.842 --> 00:50:36.412
The time is now
00:50:36.812 --> 00:50:38.981
Because i thank god for the beautiful message of the cross,
00:50:38.981 --> 00:50:43.385
And i have that image in my mind and that will never go away.
00:50:43.385 --> 00:50:47.323
But i just hope that you don't stop
00:50:47.323 --> 00:50:50.426
With an image of him crucified, but you include a throne room
00:50:50.426 --> 00:50:54.597
Vision of him victorious
00:50:54.597 --> 00:50:58.033
Because he's not still on the cross.
00:50:58.033 --> 00:51:00.202
And before we get our feelings hurt
00:51:00.202 --> 00:51:02.471
And somebody gets a religious spirit about that,
00:51:02.471 --> 00:51:05.174
Let me tell you what paul says jesus felt about that.
00:51:05.174 --> 00:51:07.810
Paul said jesus despised
00:51:07.810 --> 00:51:11.780
His death on a cross,
00:51:12.281 --> 00:51:14.884
But for the joy set before him
00:51:14.884 --> 00:51:17.186
Endured it. yes,
00:51:17.186 --> 00:51:20.656
So that he could come to where he is now.
00:51:20.656 --> 00:51:22.391
Don't cheat him out of the experience
00:51:22.391 --> 00:51:25.361
Of having the opportunity to come off of the cross
00:51:25.361 --> 00:51:28.664
And onto his throne and rule in our lives,
00:51:28.664 --> 00:51:32.801
He is not in it for eternal crucifixion.
00:51:32.801 --> 00:51:37.573
He is ruling forever.
00:51:37.573 --> 00:51:40.242
Father, i thank you for this
00:51:40.242 --> 00:51:42.778
Opportunity to share the beautiful message
00:51:42.778 --> 00:51:45.014
Of resurrection
00:51:45.014 --> 00:51:47.149
And all that it means.
00:51:47.149 --> 00:51:49.552
Thank you, jesus that you came, that you died,
00:51:49.552 --> 00:51:53.322
That you were raised again, that you ascended
00:51:53.322 --> 00:51:56.692
To the heavens, that you were enthroned,
