- Tonight on a
- 00:00:01.057 --> 00:00:02.158
- Very special christmas episode of the rosenberg report.
- 00:00:02.158 --> 00:00:05.495
- Why should every christian know and cherish
- 00:00:05.495 --> 00:00:08.898
- The three most important
- 00:00:08.898 --> 00:00:10.867
- Messianic prophecies found in the hebrew scriptures
- 00:00:10.867 --> 00:00:13.870
- That were dramatically
- 00:00:13.870 --> 00:00:14.938
- And miraculously fulfilled in the birth of jesus?
- 00:00:14.938 --> 00:00:17.974
- On that very first christmas morning,
- 00:00:17.974 --> 00:00:20.910
- I'll walk you through all three prophecies and help
- 00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:23.947
- You share them with your family, friends, and neighbors
- 00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:27.283
- Who maybe have not yet ever considered these prophecies
- 00:00:27.283 --> 00:00:30.987
- For themselves.
- 00:00:30.987 --> 00:00:32.021
- It's a very merry, messianic celebration
- 00:00:32.021 --> 00:00:34.624
- Of god's love and mercy tonight.
- 00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:36.759
- On the rosenberg report.
- 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:47.837
- Good evening from jerusalem.
- 00:00:48.438 --> 00:00:49.672
- And a very merry christmas to you and your family.
- 00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:52.909
- Now for many.
- 00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:54.244
- Christmas is a season
- 00:00:54.244 --> 00:00:55.712
- Of sadness, loneliness and even depression.
- 00:00:55.712 --> 00:00:58.781
- But i pray that's not the case for you.
- 00:00:58.781 --> 00:01:01.117
- Especially this year.
- 00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:02.185
- I pray that you are experiencing the hope and the peace
- 00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:06.022
- And the comfort
- 00:01:06.022 --> 00:01:07.190
- That jesus promised to those who follow him,
- 00:01:07.190 --> 00:01:10.493
- And that you are filled with the light of god's love
- 00:01:10.493 --> 00:01:13.363
- That he offers,
- 00:01:13.363 --> 00:01:14.330
- Especially to those who are living amidst
- 00:01:14.330 --> 00:01:17.500
- This terrible darkness that has fallen.
- 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:19.602
- And so much of our world today,
- 00:01:19.602 --> 00:01:21.271
- A world filled with terror and war, crime, violence,
- 00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:24.841
- Poverty, natural disasters, persecution and injustice.
- 00:01:24.841 --> 00:01:30.580
- Now more than ever, we
- 00:01:31.047 --> 00:01:33.283
- Who call ourselves followers of jesus, need to know
- 00:01:33.283 --> 00:01:36.419
- And cherish the three most important messianic prophecies
- 00:01:36.419 --> 00:01:39.856
- Found in the hebrew scriptures the prophecies
- 00:01:39.856 --> 00:01:43.026
- That were so miraculously and gloriously fulfilled
- 00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:46.129
- In the birth of yeshua 2000 years ago.
- 00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:49.332
- On that very first christmas morning.
- 00:01:49.332 --> 00:01:52.068
- Why? well, first and foremost, because knowing these prophecies
- 00:01:52.068 --> 00:01:56.639
- Helps give us absolute confidence that yeshua really
- 00:01:56.639 --> 00:02:01.611
- Is the messiah of whom the hebrew prophets foretold.
- 00:02:01.611 --> 00:02:05.748
- And we can know that we know that we know that this jesus,
- 00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:09.986
- This yeshua, really is exactly whom he claimed to be
- 00:02:09.986 --> 00:02:13.957
- When he said, i am the way, the truth, and the life.
- 00:02:13.957 --> 00:02:18.628
- And no one comes to the father except through me.
- 00:02:18.628 --> 00:02:22.298
- And second,
- 00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:23.666
- Because when we
- 00:02:23.666 --> 00:02:24.901
- Know these three prophecies, we suddenly know how to explain
- 00:02:24.901 --> 00:02:28.371
- To our family and friends and neighbors
- 00:02:28.371 --> 00:02:30.139
- That jesus really is the promised one,
- 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.109
- The very one whom god the father promised
- 00:02:33.109 --> 00:02:36.512
- To send into the world to forgive our sins
- 00:02:36.512 --> 00:02:39.616
- And adopt us into his royal family and bring us
- 00:02:39.616 --> 00:02:43.219
- His supernatural comfort and joy and hope and healing,
- 00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:47.390
- And above all, give us the assurance
- 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:49.459
- Of spending eternity in heaven with the lord.
- 00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:53.329
- If and when we open our hearts to him
- 00:02:53.329 --> 00:02:56.899
- And say yes to his free offer of salvation.
- 00:02:56.899 --> 00:03:00.570
- This is the good news of christmas,
- 00:03:00.570 --> 00:03:02.972
- And this is what we want to focus on tonight.
- 00:03:02.972 --> 00:03:06.142
- So let's get started.
- 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:14.584
- The ancient hebrew prophets were crystal clear.
- 00:03:15.585 --> 00:03:18.388
- The messiah would not be a normal person
- 00:03:18.388 --> 00:03:21.224
- With a normal birth or a normal life.
- 00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:23.893
- No, sir.
- 00:03:23.893 --> 00:03:25.094
- The hebrew scriptures teach us unmistakably, that the messiah
- 00:03:25.094 --> 00:03:29.432
- Would have to have a supernatural conception,
- 00:03:29.432 --> 00:03:33.403
- An extraordinary birth, and a miraculous life.
- 00:03:33.403 --> 00:03:37.674
- That's why god spoke this through the prophet isaiah.
- 00:03:37.674 --> 00:03:41.811
- 700 years before jesus
- 00:03:41.811 --> 00:03:44.881
- Was even born, 700 years before isaiah.
- 00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:48.217
- The prophet wrote this in isaiah seven,
- 00:03:48.217 --> 00:03:50.920
- Chapter seven, verses ten through 14.
- 00:03:51.721 --> 00:04:42.705
- That is a really interesting prophecy,
- 00:04:43.539 --> 00:04:46.442
- A prophecy in which god is speaking to an old,
- 00:04:46.442 --> 00:04:49.612
- King of judah and said, ask for a sign about the future,
- 00:04:49.612 --> 00:04:53.883
- And the.
- 00:04:54.150 --> 00:04:54.784
- And the king won't do it.
- 00:04:54.784 --> 00:04:55.752
- He's like, i don't want to test the lord.
- 00:04:55.752 --> 00:04:57.720
- I don't want to get involved.
- 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.688
- You know, he's like, no. and the lord.
- 00:04:58.688 --> 00:05:00.423
- Oh my gosh, i'm asking you to give me a sign
- 00:05:00.423 --> 00:05:03.159
- Or ask me for a sign and i'll give you one.
- 00:05:03.159 --> 00:05:04.861
- So fine, i will give you a sign.
- 00:05:04.861 --> 00:05:06.863
- And this is the sign that he gives him,
- 00:05:06.863 --> 00:05:08.431
- That the messiah will come and he'll be born
- 00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:11.467
- With a supernatural conception.
- 00:05:11.467 --> 00:05:13.136
- He'll be born of a virgin.
- 00:05:13.136 --> 00:05:14.937
- And the will and that will call his name
- 00:05:14.937 --> 00:05:17.340
- The messiah's name emmanuel, which means god with us.
- 00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:21.344
- Now where's the fulfillment?
- 00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:22.478
- We see it in the book of luke, the gospel
- 00:05:22.478 --> 00:05:24.781
- According to luke, chapter one, verses 26 through 38.
- 00:05:24.781 --> 00:07:21.030
- Now there's another fulfillment
- 00:07:21.664 --> 00:07:23.032
- That we read in matthew chapter one, verses 18 to 25.
- 00:07:23.032 --> 00:07:26.602
- It really picks up the story that we read in luke.
- 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:42.084
- Okay, that's the that's the being a virgin
- 00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:45.221
- And having this, this, supernatural conception.
- 00:07:45.221 --> 00:08:58.894
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
- 00:08:59.695 --> 00:09:01.998
- We've covered the first prophecy that was miraculously
- 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:05.167
- Fulfilled by jesus
- 00:09:05.167 --> 00:09:06.535
- On that very first christmas morning 2000 years ago.
- 00:09:06.535 --> 00:09:10.239
- What are the next two critically important messianic properties
- 00:09:10.239 --> 00:09:14.343
- That every christian needs to know
- 00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:16.379
- And cherish and share with others?
- 00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:18.614
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:09:18.614 --> 00:09:22.551
- Right after this break.
- 00:09:22.551 --> 00:09:26.002
- Right after this break.
- 00:09:26.002 --> 00:09:29.192
- Welcome back to the rosenberg report.
- 00:09:29.993 --> 00:09:31.828
- Okay.
- 00:09:31.828 --> 00:09:32.963
- We've covered the first prophecy that was miraculously
- 00:09:32.963 --> 00:09:35.432
- Fulfilled by jesus on that very first christmas 2000 years ago.
- 00:09:35.432 --> 00:09:40.370
- So what are the next two critically important
- 00:09:40.370 --> 00:09:43.073
- Messianic prophecies that every christian
- 00:09:43.073 --> 00:09:45.509
- Needs to know and cherish and share with others?
- 00:09:45.509 --> 00:09:49.312
- Let's get right to it.
- 00:09:49.312 --> 00:09:59.790
- I find it fascinating that almost 700 years before
- 00:10:00.824 --> 00:10:04.528
- Jesus was born, god spoke through the hebrew prophet micah
- 00:10:04.528 --> 00:10:08.632
- To tell us precisely and i mean precise,
- 00:10:08.632 --> 00:10:11.968
- Where the messiah would be born.
- 00:10:11.968 --> 00:10:15.038
- The prophecy is found
- 00:10:15.038 --> 00:10:16.573
- In micah chapter five, verses two through five.
- 00:10:16.573 --> 00:10:19.876
- Let's take a look.
- 00:10:20.310 --> 00:11:01.518
- Now, did you know that there
- 00:11:02.119 --> 00:11:04.621
- Are 18 cities called bethlehem in the united states alone?
- 00:11:04.621 --> 00:11:08.959
- 18 worldwide.
- 00:11:09.326 --> 00:11:11.228
- There are at least 28 bethlehem's
- 00:11:11.228 --> 00:11:15.065
- In nine different countries. okay.
- 00:11:15.065 --> 00:11:17.200
- And even in ancient israel, at the time of jesus,
- 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.637
- They were two.
- 00:11:20.971 --> 00:11:21.972
- Bethlehem. one was just south of jerusalem.
- 00:11:21.972 --> 00:11:24.374
- That was where king david was born, very famously.
- 00:11:24.374 --> 00:11:28.345
- And the other one was in galilee, to the north,
- 00:11:28.345 --> 00:11:30.914
- Just ten kilometers north west of nazareth.
- 00:11:30.914 --> 00:11:33.984
- Interestingly enough, but the prophet micah tells us
- 00:11:33.984 --> 00:11:38.221
- Exactly which one the messiah will be born in.
- 00:11:38.221 --> 00:11:42.592
- And that one is this bethlehem.
- 00:11:42.592 --> 00:11:45.061
- Ephrata in judea.
- 00:11:45.061 --> 00:11:47.564
- That's right.
- 00:11:47.564 --> 00:11:48.431
- That's the one just south of jerusalem.
- 00:11:48.431 --> 00:11:51.101
- Bethlehem was the town or the village?
- 00:11:51.101 --> 00:11:53.003
- Ephrata was like the area, and judea was the province.
- 00:11:53.003 --> 00:11:56.506
- The tribe. okay.
- 00:11:56.506 --> 00:11:57.741
- And that's exactly where jesus yeshua was born.
- 00:11:57.741 --> 00:12:02.512
- Take a look at the fulfillment passage in
- 00:12:02.512 --> 00:12:04.848
- Luke chapter two, verses one through 20.
- 00:12:04.848 --> 00:14:58.888
- Now there's another great passage in matthew chapter two
- 00:14:59.990 --> 00:15:02.892
- That also goes through this.
- 00:15:02.892 --> 00:15:04.861
- But i just want to say how amazing it is, right?
- 00:15:04.861 --> 00:15:07.931
- That,
- 00:15:07.931 --> 00:15:09.699
- That god
- 00:15:09.966 --> 00:15:11.835
- Could and did speak through a hebrew prophet
- 00:15:11.835 --> 00:15:14.738
- In this case, micah
- 00:15:14.738 --> 00:15:16.373
- 700 or so years before the birth of jesus
- 00:15:16.373 --> 00:15:20.610
- And said exactly where the messiah was going to be born.
- 00:15:20.610 --> 00:15:23.246
- Not in bethlehem, pennsylvania, not the other,
- 00:15:23.246 --> 00:15:26.750
- 18 or 19 bethlehem in the united states alone,
- 00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:29.285
- Not in the 28 bethlehem's around the world,
- 00:15:29.285 --> 00:15:31.921
- Not even in the bethlehem in the north of israel.
- 00:15:31.921 --> 00:15:34.324
- It was very specific.
- 00:15:34.324 --> 00:15:35.525
- Bethlehem, the city of david, just outside of jerusalem.
- 00:15:35.525 --> 00:15:39.996
- That's where the messiah would be born.
- 00:15:39.996 --> 00:15:42.332
- And i just want to ask you, before we go to the break,
- 00:15:42.332 --> 00:15:45.635
- Can you think of
- 00:15:45.635 --> 00:15:46.669
- Any little towns called bethlehem where somebody
- 00:15:46.669 --> 00:15:50.240
- Was born that 2.5 billion people think is the messiah?
- 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.544
- And just just shout it out.
- 00:15:54.544 --> 00:15:55.879
- If you can think of one like it.
- 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.515
- I mean, that's the only
- 00:15:58.515 --> 00:15:59.749
- Place that the hebrew bible says the messiah can be born.
- 00:15:59.749 --> 00:16:04.120
- So the
- 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.723
- Fact that jesus was born there is very, very interesting.
- 00:16:06.723 --> 00:16:10.627
- I believe it's a fulfillment of prophecy.
- 00:16:10.627 --> 00:16:12.695
- What do you think?
- 00:16:12.695 --> 00:16:15.231
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report?
- 00:16:15.231 --> 00:16:17.333
- We've now covered two prophecies that were miraculously
- 00:16:17.333 --> 00:16:20.703
- Fulfilled by jesus and the very first christmas 2000 years ago.
- 00:16:20.703 --> 00:16:25.708
- So what is the third messianic prophecy
- 00:16:25.708 --> 00:16:28.912
- That every christian needs to know and cherish and share
- 00:16:28.912 --> 00:16:32.949
- With others?
- 00:16:32.949 --> 00:16:34.084
- I'll tell you when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:16:34.084 --> 00:16:37.887
- Right after this break.
- 00:16:37.887 --> 00:16:41.004
- Right after this break.
- 00:16:41.004 --> 00:16:44.562
- Welcome back to the rosenberg report.
- 00:16:45.362 --> 00:16:47.231
- Okay.
- 00:16:47.231 --> 00:16:48.466
- We've covered two prophecies that were miraculously fulfilled
- 00:16:48.466 --> 00:16:51.535
- By jesus on the very first christmas 2000 years ago.
- 00:16:51.535 --> 00:16:55.940
- So what is the third messianic prophecy that every christian
- 00:16:55.940 --> 00:17:00.211
- Needs to know and cherish and hopefully share with others?
- 00:17:00.211 --> 00:17:04.415
- I'm so glad you asked.
- 00:17:04.415 --> 00:17:16.560
- Let's i mean, that's a that's a that's a crazy thought
- 00:17:17.595 --> 00:17:19.830
- For those who don't believe.
- 00:17:19.830 --> 00:17:21.165
- But let's look carefully at the hebrew prophet isaiah
- 00:17:21.165 --> 00:17:25.035
- Chapter nine, verse a, two through seven,
- 00:17:25.035 --> 00:17:27.171
- Because you're going to see
- 00:17:27.171 --> 00:17:28.539
- That god spoke through one of these ancient hebrew prophets
- 00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:31.542
- And told us exactly that this messiah who was going to come
- 00:17:31.542 --> 00:17:35.679
- Would be human and god.
- 00:17:35.679 --> 00:17:38.182
- Let's take a look.
- 00:17:38.182 --> 00:18:40.110
- Okay,
- 00:18:40.344 --> 00:18:41.145
- I love this passage so much again.
- 00:18:41.145 --> 00:18:44.281
- 700 years before the birth of jesus,
- 00:18:44.281 --> 00:18:47.384
- Before the birth of yeshua god speaks through the hebrew
- 00:18:47.384 --> 00:18:51.121
- Prophet isaiah, and he tells us through isaiah
- 00:18:51.121 --> 00:19:03.734
- Okay?
- 00:19:03.968 --> 00:19:05.202
- Jews were not supposed to be looking for an angel or a ghost
- 00:19:05.202 --> 00:19:09.273
- Or some sort of apparition, some sort of spirit.
- 00:19:09.273 --> 00:19:12.309
- Right?
- 00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:13.544
- They were supposed to be looking for a human baby to be born
- 00:19:13.544 --> 00:19:17.548
- With,
- 00:19:17.781 --> 00:19:18.983
- With a supernatural conception and an extraordinary birth.
- 00:19:18.983 --> 00:19:22.253
- And this baby can't be a girl.
- 00:19:22.253 --> 00:19:24.455
- It's described as if for unto us a child is given a born,
- 00:19:24.455 --> 00:19:29.059
- A son is given. okay, so.
- 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:31.161
- So the jews were supposed to be looking for an extraordinary
- 00:19:31.161 --> 00:19:36.400
- Baby. human baby?
- 00:19:36.834 --> 00:19:38.202
- Who's a boy, right?
- 00:19:38.202 --> 00:19:39.670
- And we already know from isaiah 714,
- 00:19:39.670 --> 00:19:42.539
- That he comes from, a supernatural,
- 00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:45.776
- Divine conception, from a woman who's a virgin.
- 00:19:45.776 --> 00:19:49.213
- Okay, now, that's not all. okay.
- 00:19:49.213 --> 00:19:51.448
- The prophet tells us that this human baby boy
- 00:19:51.448 --> 00:19:55.352
- Will also be known as, in hebrew, el gilboa.
- 00:19:55.352 --> 00:19:59.323
- Okay.
- 00:19:59.556 --> 00:20:00.357
- In english, that means mighty god.
- 00:20:00.357 --> 00:20:03.427
- The prophet isn't telling us
- 00:20:03.427 --> 00:20:04.728
- He's going to be kind of like mighty god,
- 00:20:04.728 --> 00:20:06.630
- Or he's going to be a servant of the mighty god.
- 00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:08.499
- They say, he says, this is baby's going to be called libor.
- 00:20:08.499 --> 00:20:13.537
- He's going to be called mighty god.
- 00:20:13.537 --> 00:20:15.939
- And then he's also going to be called eternal father,
- 00:20:15.939 --> 00:20:18.976
- That he's going to be considered this this baby boy.
- 00:20:18.976 --> 00:20:21.879
- He's going to grow up
- 00:20:21.879 --> 00:20:22.913
- To be considered one with our father in heaven.
- 00:20:22.913 --> 00:20:25.983
- Now that's huge.
- 00:20:26.383 --> 00:20:28.052
- And to many, especially my jewish friends, this is crazy.
- 00:20:28.052 --> 00:20:32.556
- It's confusing. how can you be?
- 00:20:32.556 --> 00:20:35.626
- How could somebody be both god and man?
- 00:20:35.626 --> 00:20:38.796
- Yeah, that's exactly what he would have needed to be, right?
- 00:20:38.796 --> 00:20:41.932
- That's what the messiah would have to be.
- 00:20:41.932 --> 00:20:44.001
- If you're going to have a supernatural conception, right.
- 00:20:44.001 --> 00:20:46.070
- That's why you need a supernatural conception, right?
- 00:20:46.070 --> 00:20:48.806
- Because a normal woman and man sleeping together
- 00:20:48.806 --> 00:20:52.343
- And having a baby, that's a normal person.
- 00:20:52.343 --> 00:20:54.678
- Okay? human. but normal.
- 00:20:54.678 --> 00:20:57.014
- But if if this is god coming down to be with us,
- 00:20:57.014 --> 00:21:01.785
- Then you would expect this to
- 00:21:02.419 --> 00:21:04.088
- Be a supernatural conception and a supernatural birth.
- 00:21:04.088 --> 00:21:07.691
- And isn't that exactly what god told us in isaiah 714?
- 00:21:07.691 --> 00:21:12.196
- Right.
- 00:21:12.196 --> 00:21:13.330
- That the messiah would not only be born of a virgin.
- 00:21:13.330 --> 00:21:15.032
- That's one big deal, but also that he'll be known as emmanuel,
- 00:21:15.032 --> 00:21:20.504
- Which that's hebrew.
- 00:21:20.971 --> 00:21:22.272
- In english, it's god with us.
- 00:21:22.272 --> 00:21:25.776
- That's what god is telling.
- 00:21:25.776 --> 00:21:27.978
- That's what he's signaling. the jewish people.
- 00:21:27.978 --> 00:21:29.847
- That's what you're looking for.
- 00:21:29.847 --> 00:21:31.181
- You're looking for a messiah.
- 00:21:31.181 --> 00:21:32.449
- But he's not just,
- 00:21:32.449 --> 00:21:34.451
- Powerful and important.
- 00:21:34.451 --> 00:21:35.919
- And he he's it's actually god himself coming to earth.
- 00:21:35.919 --> 00:21:39.723
- God with us.
- 00:21:40.057 --> 00:21:41.492
- And that's exactly who jesus was, right?
- 00:21:41.492 --> 00:21:44.862
- Certainly a human being.
- 00:21:44.862 --> 00:21:46.397
- He was born to his mother, mary, in bethlehem.
- 00:21:46.397 --> 00:21:50.501
- They couldn't find, you know, a motel six or a hilton.
- 00:21:50.501 --> 00:21:53.137
- So he was born in a in a barn, in a manger, in
- 00:21:53.137 --> 00:21:56.473
- In a feeding trough because he's poor and lowly.
- 00:21:56.473 --> 00:22:00.844
- He's not coming with,
- 00:22:00.844 --> 00:22:03.414
- With,
- 00:22:03.647 --> 00:22:04.748
- Some sense that he's rich and famous and powerful.
- 00:22:04.748 --> 00:22:07.418
- He's going to be very powerful, and he becomes very famous, but
- 00:22:07.418 --> 00:22:10.187
- He comes lowly and humble as a baby
- 00:22:10.187 --> 00:22:14.291
- Boy born to mary, but not merely a human being.
- 00:22:14.291 --> 00:22:18.729
- After all this jesus, this yeshua was able to heal
- 00:22:18.729 --> 00:22:22.933
- The sick, cast out demons, walk on water, raise the dead.
- 00:22:22.933 --> 00:22:28.071
- Precisely.
- 00:22:28.372 --> 00:22:29.440
- Tell us the future and rise from the dead himself.
- 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.876
- This is not just a man.
- 00:22:33.377 --> 00:22:35.646
- This is a man who also is god.
- 00:22:35.646 --> 00:22:41.452
- Now we see, a wonderful passage
- 00:22:42.085 --> 00:22:44.922
- Helping us to understand the fulfillment of all this in,
- 00:22:44.922 --> 00:22:48.225
- In the gospel according to john the apostle.
- 00:22:49.126 --> 00:22:51.361
- John, who knew jesus personally, testified that jesus was both
- 00:22:51.361 --> 00:22:55.933
- God and man.
- 00:22:55.933 --> 00:22:57.434
- Let's take a look at john chapte
- 00:22:57.434 --> 00:24:57.821
- Wow! these are
- 00:24:58.155 --> 00:24:59.590
- Three powerful messianic prophecies,
- 00:24:59.590 --> 00:25:02.025
- And i love every single one of them.
- 00:25:02.025 --> 00:25:03.594
- And every single one of them was fulfilled by jesus
- 00:25:03.594 --> 00:25:06.830
- On that very first christmas 2000 years ago.
- 00:25:06.830 --> 00:25:10.300
- And whenever i study them, i find myself so encouraged
- 00:25:10.300 --> 00:25:14.504
- Because i know that i'm not blindly following jesus
- 00:25:14.504 --> 00:25:17.641
- And thinking that maybe he's the messiah,
- 00:25:17.641 --> 00:25:19.543
- But maybe he really isn't.
- 00:25:19.543 --> 00:25:20.811
- No, no, no, i know that i know that, i know
- 00:25:20.811 --> 00:25:24.815
- That i'm following the one true messiah that god promised
- 00:25:24.815 --> 00:25:29.052
- Through his prophets,
- 00:25:29.052 --> 00:25:30.220
- Through his ancient hebrew jewish prophets, would come
- 00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:34.091
- And rescue me, forgive me, save me, and adopt me
- 00:25:34.091 --> 00:25:38.261
- Even into his royal family so that i can live with him.
- 00:25:38.261 --> 00:25:42.132
- Not just now, but for eternity, for all of eternity,
- 00:25:42.132 --> 00:25:45.302
- And not have any fear of death and hell and eternal darkness.
- 00:25:45.302 --> 00:25:50.273
- And i want you to understand these prophecies, too,
- 00:25:50.273 --> 00:25:53.610
- And i want to create this episode
- 00:25:53.610 --> 00:25:56.513
- So that you can share this with others
- 00:25:56.513 --> 00:25:59.583
- So you can share them on social media,
- 00:25:59.583 --> 00:26:01.451
- Or just take the link and send it to family
- 00:26:01.451 --> 00:26:03.286
- And friends by email or text or whatever
- 00:26:03.286 --> 00:26:05.956
- So that they can discover, hopefully, god's hope
- 00:26:05.956 --> 00:26:09.559
- And his healing and his love
- 00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.795
- And the joy that they've been desperately craving
- 00:26:11.795 --> 00:26:15.098
- In this world of darkness, sadness and pain.
- 00:26:15.098 --> 00:26:17.300
- And having found
- 00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:19.102
- But that they can find all of that,
- 00:26:19.102 --> 00:26:21.605
- All of that hope and healing and joy and happiness and love
- 00:26:21.605 --> 00:26:25.509
- In god, in his messiah, in jesus.
- 00:26:25.509 --> 00:26:29.646
