  • 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

  • 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.
