00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.700
 If you don't have a Bible, please raise your hand.

00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:05.759
 We'd love to give you a Bible so you can use while you're here.

00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:10.859
 And if you have one with you, please open it to Revelation chapter 5, verses 1 to 14.

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.300
 We'll cover the whole chapter today.

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.900
 Revelation is the last book of the Bible, so it should be fairly easy to find.

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.039
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:43.560
 Father, it is difficult to convey the worthiness of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:56.140
 But won't you, Lord, by the power of your Holy Spirit,

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:10.280
 enable me to speak of and enable all of us to listen to and grasp and apply

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:20.260
 the supreme worthiness of Jesus as the lion and the lamb

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:27.320
 so that our lives are shaped by that reality

00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:34.900
 so that our life of worship, our sacrifice of praise

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:40.840
 is spurred on and motivated by that reality

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.520
 so that ultimately all that we do redounds to your glory, Father.

00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:51.460
 And lead with us.

00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.200
 In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:04.700
 If you are able, please stand for the reading of God's word

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:06.200
 from Revelation chapter 5.

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:19.780
 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:23.439
 a scroll written within and on the back,

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.000
 sealed with seven seals.

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:30.980
 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice

00:02:30.980 --> 00:02:35.699
 who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals.

00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:43.039
 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth

00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.319
 was able to open the scroll or to look into it.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.019
 And I began to weep loudly

00:02:52.019 --> 00:02:56.879
 because no one was found worthy to open the scroll

00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.599
 or to look into it.

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.500
 And one of the elders said to me,

00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:04.819
 weep no more.

00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:09.819
 Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah,

00:03:10.419 --> 00:03:13.060
 the root of David has conquered

00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:17.539
 so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.

00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:22.879
 And between the throne and the four living creatures

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.180
 and among the elders,

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.699
 I saw a lamb standing,

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.159
 as though it had been slain,

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.340
 with seven horns and with seven eyes,

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:37.399
 which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:43.340
 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:45.200
 who was seated on the throne.

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.259
 And when he had taken the scroll,

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:51.879
 the four living creatures and the 24 elders

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.259
 fell down before the lamb,

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.580
 each holding a harp

00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:59.780
 and golden bowls full of incense,

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.120
 which are the prayers of the saints.

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.400
 And they sang a new song saying,

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:11.039
 worthy are you to take scroll and to open its seals.

00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:13.620
 For you were slain

00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:18.280
 and by your blood you ransomed people for God

00:04:18.280 --> 00:04:24.079
 from every tribe and language and people and nation.

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:26.399
 And you have made them a kingdom

00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.600
 and priests to our God

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.019
 and they shall reign on the earth.

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.300
 Then I looked

00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:36.959
 and I heard around the throne

00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:37.899
 and the living creatures

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:39.519
 and the elders,

00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:42.199
 the voice of many angels

00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.439
 numbering myriads of myriads

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.399
 and thousands of thousands,

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.540
 saying with a loud voice,

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.000
 worthy is the lamb who was slain

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.160
 to receive power

00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:56.620
 and wealth

00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:57.800
 and wisdom

00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.040
 and might

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.100
 and honor

00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:01.020
 and glory

00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:02.600
 and blessing.

00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:07.980
 And I heard every creature

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:08.560
 in heaven

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:09.840
 and on earth

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:11.100
 and under the earth

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.060
 and in the sea

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:14.260
 and all that is in them,

00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:14.780
 saying,

00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:17.000
 to him who sits

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.000
 on the throne

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.300
 and to the lamb

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:20.740
 be blessing

00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:21.760
 and honor

00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:22.840
 and glory

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:23.860
 and might

00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:25.439
 forever and ever.

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.600
 and the four living creatures

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:29.019
 said,

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.259
 Amen.

00:05:31.219 --> 00:05:33.399
 And the elders fell down

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:34.819
 and worshiped.

00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:37.199
 This is God's holy

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.279
 and authoritative word.

00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:38.839
 You may be seated.

00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:39.560
 It's not.

00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:49.480
 When people think of great leaders,

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.240
 they often think of charismatic,

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.420
 larger-than-life figures.

00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:56.379
 Historically,

00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.000
 this is what boards of directors

00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:59.639
 would look for

00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.139
 when trying to identify

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:02.759
 and hire CEOs

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:03.980
 that can take their company

00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:04.980
 to the next level.

00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:06.800
 They'd look for someone

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:07.420
 with, quote,

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:10.240
 an extreme personality,

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.920
 an egocentric chief

00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.300
 who can lead the corporate charge

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:15.920
 because,

00:06:16.340 --> 00:06:17.259
 the thinking goes,

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:19.259
 it takes a certain level

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:20.120
 of chutzpah,

00:06:21.159 --> 00:06:22.199
 a certain level

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.379
 of arrogance

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:24.599
 and audacity

00:06:24.599 --> 00:06:26.199
 to be a CEO.

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:27.719
 That's the popular thinking

00:06:27.719 --> 00:06:28.139
 at least.

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:31.759
 But Jim Collins,

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.300
 a business consultant expert

00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:35.000
 and an author

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:36.620
 of the best-selling book,

00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:37.740
 leadership management book,

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:38.420
 Good to Great,

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.379
 turned that assumption

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:41.680
 on its head

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.639
 when he published

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.060
 an article

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:44.180
 in the Harvard Business Review

00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:45.120
 in 2001

00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.120
 entitled,

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:47.439
 Level 5 Leadership,

00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.259
 The Triumph of Humility

00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:51.120
 and Fierce Resolve.

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:53.860
 The article shares

00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:55.019
 the findings

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:56.680
 of a five-year research

00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:57.259
 that followed

00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:58.220
 11 companies

00:06:58.220 --> 00:06:59.379
 in order to determine

00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:00.220
 what is required

00:07:00.220 --> 00:07:01.439
 for a good company

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.360
 to become

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:03.819
 a great company.

00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.660
 Defying all expectations,

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:08.819
 Collins and his team

00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:09.680
 concluded that

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:10.340
 they found out

00:07:10.340 --> 00:07:11.420
 that the type of leader

00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:12.480
 who can take a company

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.519
 from being good

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.540
 to great

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:15.580
 is not

00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:17.080
 the egocentric chief

00:07:17.080 --> 00:07:18.960
 with an extreme personality

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:20.220
 but, quote,

00:07:20.280 --> 00:07:21.000
 an executive

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:21.939
 in whom

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:24.480
 extreme personal humility

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.939
 blends paradoxically

00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:29.320
 with intense professional will.

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:32.560
 This was

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.280
 a groundbreaking publication

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:35.700
 that upended

00:07:35.700 --> 00:07:36.939
 the conventional wisdom

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:37.759
 of the leadership

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:39.120
 management world.

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.220
 But the result

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:41.879
 should not

00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.199
 be surprising

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.860
 to us

00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:45.079
 as Christians

00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.939
 because

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:47.879
 best leaders

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.300
 should take

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:49.120
 after our God

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.500
 and our God

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:52.259
 as it says

00:07:52.259 --> 00:07:53.579
 in Isaiah 57, 15

00:07:53.579 --> 00:07:54.139
 is the one

00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:55.000
 who is high

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.379
 and lifted up

00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:57.519
 who inhabits

00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:58.100
 eternity

00:07:58.100 --> 00:07:59.379
 whose name is holy

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:00.899
 but that very God

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:01.519
 also says

00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.639
 I dwell in the high

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.620
 and holy place

00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:04.899
 and also

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:05.720
 with him

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.199
 who is of a contrite

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:08.160
 and lowly heart.

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:09.819
 To revive

00:08:09.819 --> 00:08:10.699
 the spirit

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:11.639
 of the lowly

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:12.780
 and to revive

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:13.360
 the heart

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.300
 of the contrite.

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.699
 That's what

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:16.160
 our God

00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:16.620
 is like.

00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:18.740
 He dwells

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.120
 in the high

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:19.899
 and holy place

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:21.019
 and with those

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:21.500
 who are

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:22.699
 lowly

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:23.740
 and humble.

00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:25.579
 And that's

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:26.439
 what the Holy Spirit

00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:27.000
 is like.

00:08:27.579 --> 00:08:28.519
 He convicts

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.199
 the world

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.699
 concerning sin

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.439
 and righteousness

00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:32.340
 and judgment

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:34.340
 but simultaneously

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:35.299
 he is also

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:36.180
 the very spirit

00:08:36.180 --> 00:08:36.720
 who is called

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:37.560
 the comforter.

00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.639
 our advocate.

00:08:42.079 --> 00:08:42.879
 God's son

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:43.439
 Jesus

00:08:43.439 --> 00:08:45.279
 also demonstrates

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.539
 that paradoxical

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:47.419
 blend

00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:48.739
 as we see

00:08:48.739 --> 00:08:49.219
 in our passages

00:08:49.219 --> 00:08:49.559
 today

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:50.539
 Jesus is

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.359
 the lion

00:08:51.359 --> 00:08:52.319
 of the tribe

00:08:52.319 --> 00:08:52.799
 of Judah

00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.199
 who has conquered

00:08:54.199 --> 00:08:56.519
 and yet

00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.199
 he is the lamb

00:08:58.199 --> 00:08:59.759
 who was slain.

00:09:01.939 --> 00:09:02.699
 Jesus is

00:09:02.699 --> 00:09:03.299
 the image

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:04.099
 of the invisible

00:09:04.099 --> 00:09:04.500
 God

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.659
 by whom all things

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:06.239
 were created.

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:06.980
 he is before

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:07.580
 all things

00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:08.580
 and in him

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:09.120
 all things

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.779
 hold together.

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:10.960
 Jesus is

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:11.779
 preeminent

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:13.279
 in every way

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:13.759
 and yet

00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.279
 he says

00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:14.700
 in Matthew

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:15.480
 11 29

00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.379
 I am lowly

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:18.940
 and humble

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:19.680
 in heart.

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:21.259
 He's meek

00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:22.600
 and gentle.

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:23.960
 That's

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:24.480
 the glory

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.159
 of our God.

00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:28.419
 Revelation 5

00:09:28.419 --> 00:09:28.960
 teaches us

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:29.440
 that Jesus

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:30.200
 is worthy

00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.159
 to execute

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.039
 God's sovereign

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:32.460
 judgment

00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:33.639
 because he

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.100
 died

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:34.980
 and rose

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:35.360
 again

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.220
 to ransom

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:36.820
 people for

00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:37.100
 God

00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:37.740
 from every

00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:38.100
 nation.

00:09:38.900 --> 00:09:39.180
 And we're

00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:39.560
 going to talk

00:09:39.560 --> 00:09:39.920
 about how

00:09:39.920 --> 00:09:40.540
 he is first

00:09:40.540 --> 00:09:41.440
 the conquering

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:41.800
 lion

00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:42.560
 and then

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:43.139
 the slain

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:43.460
 lamb

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:44.320
 and finally

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:44.860
 the worthy

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:45.680
 Lord.

00:09:47.740 --> 00:09:48.519
 Let's look at

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:49.060
 how Jesus

00:09:49.060 --> 00:09:49.540
 is presented

00:09:49.540 --> 00:09:49.920
 to us

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:50.220
 as the

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:50.600
 conquering

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:50.860
 lion.

00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:51.120
 It says

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:51.420
 in verse

00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:51.800
 one

00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:52.779
 then I

00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:53.120
 saw

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:53.479
 in the

00:09:53.479 --> 00:09:53.719
 right

00:09:53.719 --> 00:09:54.120
 hand

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:54.500
 of him

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:54.679
 who

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:54.899
 was

00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:55.240
 seated

00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:55.579
 on the

00:09:55.579 --> 00:09:55.919
 throne

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.500
 a

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:57.000
 scroll

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:57.399
 written

00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:57.859
 within

00:09:57.859 --> 00:09:58.059
 and

00:09:58.059 --> 00:09:58.319
 on

00:09:58.319 --> 00:09:58.500
 the

00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:58.879
 back

00:09:58.879 --> 00:09:59.620
 sealed

00:09:59.620 --> 00:09:59.879
 with

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:00.339
 seven

00:10:00.339 --> 00:10:00.959
 seals.

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:01.240
 So

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:02.259
 in his

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:02.620
 vision

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:02.939
 Jesus

00:10:02.939 --> 00:10:03.199
 sees

00:10:03.199 --> 00:10:03.359
 the

00:10:03.359 --> 00:10:03.559
 one

00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:03.679
 who

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:03.819
 is

00:10:03.819 --> 00:10:03.979
 seated

00:10:03.979 --> 00:10:04.099
 on

00:10:04.099 --> 00:10:04.199
 the

00:10:04.199 --> 00:10:04.399
 throne.

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:04.799
 We saw

00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:05.039
 that

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:05.559
 last week

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:05.899
 in chapter

00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:06.279
 four

00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:06.740
 the

00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:07.639
 thrice

00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:07.939
 holy

00:10:07.939 --> 00:10:08.299
 God

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:08.639
 seated

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:08.779
 on

00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:08.899
 the

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:09.159
 throne.

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:09.740
 He

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.659
 notices

00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:11.120
 holding

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:11.339
 a

00:10:11.339 --> 00:10:11.719
 scroll

00:10:11.719 --> 00:10:11.979
 in

00:10:11.979 --> 00:10:12.199
 his

00:10:12.199 --> 00:10:12.479
 right

00:10:12.479 --> 00:10:12.759
 hand

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:13.059
 so

00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:13.299
 you're

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:13.559
 right

00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:13.879
 here

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:14.679
 and

00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:14.839
 the

00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:15.099
 one

00:10:15.099 --> 00:10:15.459
 seated

00:10:15.459 --> 00:10:15.639
 on

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:15.759
 the

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.039
 throne

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.339
 is

00:10:16.339 --> 00:10:16.740
 God

00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:17.000
 in

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.240
 all

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:17.419
 his

00:10:17.419 --> 00:10:17.740
 glory

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:17.939
 the

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:18.259
 sovereign

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:18.579
 king

00:10:18.579 --> 00:10:18.740
 and

00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:19.199
 creator

00:10:19.199 --> 00:10:20.039
 who

00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:20.179
 is

00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:20.419
 worthy

00:10:20.419 --> 00:10:20.579
 of

00:10:20.579 --> 00:10:20.839
 all

00:10:20.839 --> 00:10:21.219
 glory

00:10:21.219 --> 00:10:21.379
 and

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:21.599
 honor

00:10:21.599 --> 00:10:21.759
 and

00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.099
 power

00:10:22.099 --> 00:10:22.579
 we saw

00:10:22.579 --> 00:10:22.860
 that

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.299
 last

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:23.599
 week

00:10:23.599 --> 00:10:25.480
 and

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:25.699
 he's

00:10:25.699 --> 00:10:26.059
 holding

00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:26.500
 this

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:27.159
 scroll

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.379
 the

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:28.620
 fact

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:28.799
 that

00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:29.120
 God's

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.459
 holding

00:10:29.459 --> 00:10:29.639
 this

00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:29.819
 scroll

00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:29.939
 in

00:10:29.939 --> 00:10:30.079
 his

00:10:30.079 --> 00:10:30.379
 right

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:30.740
 hand

00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:31.139
 is

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:31.539
 significant

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:32.000
 because

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.339
 right

00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:32.620
 hand

00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:32.860
 is

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:33.139
 most

00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:33.779
 people's

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:34.240
 dominant

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:34.599
 hand

00:10:34.599 --> 00:10:35.299
 that's

00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:35.419
 the

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:35.639
 hand

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:35.860
 with

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:36.059
 you

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:36.379
 which

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:36.519
 you

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:36.839
 hold

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:37.240
 something

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:37.939
 securely

00:10:37.939 --> 00:10:39.159
 everybody

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:39.539
 wants

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:39.959
 to be

00:10:39.959 --> 00:10:40.179
 the

00:10:40.179 --> 00:10:40.699
 person's

00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:41.179
 someone's

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:41.500
 right

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:41.699
 hand

00:10:41.699 --> 00:10:41.919
 man

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:42.299
 no one

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:46.500
 when you

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.179
 are

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:47.480
 trying

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:47.679
 to

00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.059
 uphold

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:48.480
 someone

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:48.919
 when

00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:49.480
 God

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.099
 assures

00:10:50.099 --> 00:10:50.319
 his

00:10:50.319 --> 00:10:50.579
 people

00:10:50.579 --> 00:10:51.039
 Israel

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.419
 that

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:52.579
 he

00:10:52.579 --> 00:10:52.779
 will

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:52.980
 be

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:53.279
 with

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.519
 them

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:53.799
 he

00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:54.099
 tells

00:10:54.099 --> 00:10:54.219
 them

00:10:54.219 --> 00:10:54.299
 in

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:54.519
 Isaiah

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:54.939
 41

00:10:54.939 --> 00:10:55.299
 10

00:10:55.299 --> 00:10:55.899
 fear

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.259
 not

00:10:56.259 --> 00:10:56.480
 for

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:56.639
 I

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:56.779
 am

00:11:30.319 --> 00:11:30.559
 Jesus

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.019

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:31.179

00:11:46.579 --> 00:11:46.939
 that

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:49.339
 seals

00:11:49.339 --> 00:11:50.419
 we've

00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:50.659
 talked

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:50.979
 many

00:11:50.979 --> 00:11:51.379
 times

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:51.839
 throughout

00:11:51.839 --> 00:11:52.219
 revelation

00:11:52.219 --> 00:11:52.639
 already

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.479
 of how

00:11:53.479 --> 00:11:53.859
 the number

00:11:53.859 --> 00:11:54.279
 seven

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:54.979
 is symbolic

00:11:54.979 --> 00:11:55.620
 because

00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:55.979
 God

00:11:55.979 --> 00:11:56.500
 created

00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:58.739

00:11:58.739 --> 00:11:59.179
 so

00:11:59.179 --> 00:11:59.559
 seven

00:11:59.559 --> 00:11:59.899
 is

 that

00:12:00.599 --> 00:12:01.159

00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:01.659
 fullness

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:02.359
 and

 completeness

00:12:03.319 --> 00:12:04.019
 and

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.899

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:10.199
 imagine

00:12:10.199 --> 00:12:10.559
 this is

 the

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.360
 this

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.519

 God

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.960
 I hope

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.160
 we can

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.700
 feel

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.660
 just

00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:29.900
 the

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.920
 weight

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.460
 of this

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:32.940
 reality

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:35.920
 only

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:36.460
 Jesus

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.420
 can bring

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:37.819
 God's

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:38.220
 salvation

00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:38.639
 history

00:25:38.639 --> 00:25:39.039
 to its

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.579
 climactic

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:40.160
 conclusion

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.200
 because

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:42.160
 he is

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.619
 the only

00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:43.119
 savior

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:44.160
 and

00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:44.639
 redeemer

00:25:44.639 --> 00:25:47.319
 and that

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.759
 means

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.259
 and this

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.579
 is good

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:48.879
 news

00:25:48.879 --> 00:25:49.160
 that you

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:49.460
 and I

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:49.759

00:25:50.879 --> 00:25:54.240
 you are

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.460

00:25:54.660 --> 00:25:54.900
 savior

00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:55.519
 that

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:55.779
 this

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:56.000
 world

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.180
 is

00:25:56.180 --> 00:25:56.420
 looking

00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:56.720
 for

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.640
 and you

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:57.980
 are not

00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:58.200
 the

00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.579
 you and I

00:25:59.579 --> 00:25:59.859

 the savior

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.620
 of this

 the savior

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.519
 of our

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.079
 respective

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.180
 you and I

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.859
 cannot even

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.259
 save

00:26:07.259 --> 00:26:07.920
 ourselves

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.019
 there is

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:12.460
 salvation

00:26:12.460 --> 00:26:13.180
 in no one

00:26:13.180 --> 00:26:13.559
 else

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:14.400
 for there

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:14.960
 is no

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.940
 other name

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.700

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.339
 given to

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:17.680
 mankind

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.680
 by which

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.319
 we must

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:20.140
 be saved

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:20.900
 and that

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.680
 is the

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.059
 name

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:23.000
 of Jesus

 our names

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.579
 cannot save

00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:41.079
 it's only

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:41.420
 the name

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:41.839
 of Jesus

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.180
 and John

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:45.740

 is

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:47.519
 weeping

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.460
 he's interrupted

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:51.799
 by one of the

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.440
 elders in verse

 weep

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:55.400
 no more

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.259
 behold

00:26:58.259 --> 00:27:01.000
 the lion

00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.660
 of the tribe

00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:02.160
 of Judah

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:05.140
 the root

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:05.720
 of David

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:07.519
 has conquered

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:09.820
 so that he

00:27:09.820 --> 00:27:10.420
 can open

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.860
 the scroll

00:27:10.860 --> 00:27:11.200
 and its

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:11.920
 seven seals

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.400
 it's an

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:15.720
 amazing

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.080
 scene

00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:17.700
 Jesus is

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:18.180
 the root

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:18.900
 of David

00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:19.600
 he's the

00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:20.240
 fulfillment

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:20.660
 of the

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.100
 prophecy

00:27:21.099 --> 00:27:22.459
 that there

00:27:22.459 --> 00:27:22.899
 shall come

00:27:22.899 --> 00:27:23.079
 forth

00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:23.619
 a shoot

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.059
 from the

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:24.359
 stump

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:24.879
 of Jesse

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.219
 that's

00:27:25.219 --> 00:27:25.519
 David's

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.799
 father

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.539
 and a

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:26.819
 branch

00:27:26.819 --> 00:27:27.199
 from its

00:27:27.199 --> 00:27:27.419
 root

00:27:27.419 --> 00:27:27.959
 shall bear

00:27:27.959 --> 00:27:28.359
 fruit

00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:28.719
 that's a

00:27:28.719 --> 00:27:29.059
 prophecy

00:27:29.059 --> 00:27:29.459
 about the

00:27:29.459 --> 00:27:29.899
 Davidic

00:27:29.899 --> 00:27:30.480
 dynasty

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.199
 and the

00:27:31.199 --> 00:27:31.539
 Messiah

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:31.819
 that will

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.179
 come from

00:27:32.179 --> 00:27:32.659
 the Davidic

00:27:32.659 --> 00:27:33.079
 line

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.919
 so Jesus

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.259
 is the one

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.779
 who fulfills

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.419
 that prophecy

00:27:35.419 --> 00:27:36.459
 and remember

00:27:36.459 --> 00:27:37.139
 that story

00:27:37.139 --> 00:27:38.059
 of David

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:38.700
 and Goliath

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.179
 from 1st

00:27:39.179 --> 00:27:39.839
 Samuel 17

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.559
 famous story

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:41.819
 I'm sure

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:42.139
 all of you

00:27:42.139 --> 00:27:42.419
 guys have

00:27:42.419 --> 00:27:42.740
 heard it

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.399
 the Philistine

00:27:43.399 --> 00:27:43.759
 army

00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.559
 and the

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:45.339
 Israeli army

00:27:45.339 --> 00:27:46.240
 are arrayed

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.879
 against each

00:27:46.879 --> 00:27:47.319
 other in

00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:48.079
 battle formation

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.440
 and they

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.059
 have what is

00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:50.419
 called the

00:27:50.419 --> 00:27:50.940
 battle of the

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.480
 champions

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.559
 a single

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.179
 combat to

00:27:53.179 --> 00:27:53.799
 decide the

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.220
 outcome

00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:54.960
 of the

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:55.259
 war

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:56.359
 and Goliath

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:56.940
 a giant

00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:57.639
 the representative

00:27:57.639 --> 00:27:57.919
 of the

00:27:57.919 --> 00:27:58.539
 Philistine army

00:27:58.539 --> 00:27:59.240
 comes out

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.179
 and every

00:28:00.179 --> 00:28:01.039
 single day

00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:01.899
 he taunts

00:28:01.899 --> 00:28:02.619
 the Israeli

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:03.019
 army

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:04.519
 and every

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:05.079
 single day

00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:06.099
 he defies

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:06.799
 the Lord

00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:07.379
 God of

00:28:07.380 --> 00:28:07.820
 Israel

00:28:07.820 --> 00:28:09.080
 and says

00:28:09.080 --> 00:28:09.780
 who can

00:28:09.780 --> 00:28:10.540
 defeat me

00:28:10.540 --> 00:28:12.900
 and that

00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:13.420
 happens

00:28:13.420 --> 00:28:14.400
 day after

00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:15.280
 day after

00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:15.740
 day

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.580
 and men

00:28:16.580 --> 00:28:18.000
 he's totally

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.820
 emasculated

00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:19.160
 the army

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.520
 of Israel

00:28:19.520 --> 00:28:19.880
 they all

00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:20.720
 cower before

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.120
 him

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:22.560
 they bow

00:28:22.560 --> 00:28:23.040
 their heads

00:28:23.040 --> 00:28:23.520
 in shame

00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:24.300
 and no one

00:28:24.300 --> 00:28:25.080
 comes up

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:26.000
 because no

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.340
 one is

00:28:26.340 --> 00:28:26.720
 worthy

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.220
 no one

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.720
 can defeat

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:29.260
 Goliath

00:28:29.260 --> 00:28:31.760
 how sad

00:28:31.760 --> 00:28:33.020
 and tragic

00:28:33.020 --> 00:28:33.600
 is that picture

00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:34.080
 and then

00:28:34.080 --> 00:28:34.740
 one day

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:35.580
 David

00:28:35.580 --> 00:28:36.020
 comes

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:38.220
 and he

00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:38.660
 goes

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:40.559
 and this

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:40.819
 is what

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.299
 he says

00:28:41.299 --> 00:28:41.819
 to Goliath

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:42.420
 you come

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:42.779
 to me

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.160
 with the

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:43.539
 sword

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.220
 and with

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:44.779
 the spear

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.079
 and with

00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:45.660
 the javelin

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:45.940
 but I

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:46.319
 come to

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:46.740
 you

00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:47.460
 in the

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.960
 name

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.359
 of the

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:48.579
 Lord

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:49.079
 of hosts

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.700
 the God

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:49.980
 of the

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.299
 armies

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:50.819
 of Israel

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.720
 whom you

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.099
 have

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.799
 defied

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.220
 this day

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.819
 the Lord

00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.379
 will deliver

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:56.079
 you into

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.740
 my hand

00:28:56.740 --> 00:28:57.460
 and I

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:57.980
 will strike

00:28:57.980 --> 00:28:58.480
 you down

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:58.940
 and cut

00:28:58.940 --> 00:28:59.240
 off your

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.519
 head

00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:00.420
 that all

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:00.819
 the earth

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:01.339
 may know

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:01.700
 that there

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:02.639
 is a God

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.180
 in Israel

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:04.220
 and that all

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:04.940
 this assembly

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.519
 may know

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.160
 that the

00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:06.880
 Lord saves

00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.500
 not with

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:07.880
 sword

00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:08.500
 and spear

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:09.340
 for the

00:29:09.340 --> 00:29:09.620
 battle

00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:09.960
 is the

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:10.299
 Lord's

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:10.580
 and he

00:29:10.580 --> 00:29:11.039
 will give

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.640
 you into

00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:12.400
 our hand

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.160
 and David

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:15.799
 with the

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.200
 sling

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:17.120
 slays

00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:17.580
 Goliath

00:29:17.580 --> 00:29:19.019
 and the

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.420
 entire

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:19.740
 army

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.360
 is victorious

00:29:20.360 --> 00:29:22.259
 that's

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:23.100
 what it

00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:23.519
 means here

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.660
 that Jesus

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.279
 is the

00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:25.840
 root of

00:29:25.840 --> 00:29:26.200
 David

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:26.880
 because David

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.440
 is a

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.299
 foreshadowing

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:29.080
 and he's

00:29:29.080 --> 00:29:29.840
 a type

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:30.820
 of the

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.299
 Messiah

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.759
 to come

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.380
 the Jesus

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:33.140
 to come

00:29:33.140 --> 00:29:33.940
 he's the

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.240
 one who

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:34.580
 fights

00:29:34.580 --> 00:29:35.140
 the battle

00:29:35.140 --> 00:29:35.380
 of the

00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:35.880
 champions

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:36.460
 that no

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.840
 one else

00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:37.600
 can fight

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.700
 Jesus

00:29:38.700 --> 00:29:39.160
 is the

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.540
 one who

00:29:39.540 --> 00:29:39.940
 went to

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.620
 the battlefield

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.700
 to fight

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:42.200
 the battle

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.740
 and defeat

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.160
 the enemy

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:43.560
 that we

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:44.220
 could never

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:45.060
 hope to

00:29:45.060 --> 00:29:45.540
 defeat

00:29:45.540 --> 00:29:46.360
 because he

00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:47.140
 is the

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:48.120
 lion of

00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:48.720
 the tribe

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.220
 of Judah

00:29:49.220 --> 00:29:49.700
 who has

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.440
 conquered

00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:54.100
 who of

00:29:54.100 --> 00:29:54.640
 us can

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:55.140
 face

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:55.960
 Satan

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.760
 the accuser

00:29:56.760 --> 00:29:57.760
 who

00:29:57.760 --> 00:29:58.400
 accuses

00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:58.800
 to our

00:29:58.800 --> 00:29:59.140
 face

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.380
 and

00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:00.680
 exposes

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.300
 and points

00:30:01.300 --> 00:30:01.820
 out every

00:30:01.820 --> 00:30:02.280
 sin

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.559
 that you

00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:02.759
 have

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.160
 committed

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.460
 every

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:04.920
 way in

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.200
 which we

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:05.839
 are unworthy

00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:06.279
 who can

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.879
 stand

00:30:06.879 --> 00:30:07.639
 who can

00:30:07.639 --> 00:30:07.960
 stand

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:08.339
 and fight

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:08.740
 against

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.000
 them

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:10.599
 who of

00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:10.960
 us can

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.339
 defeat

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:11.879
 death

00:30:11.879 --> 00:30:12.599
 when death

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:12.960
 is the

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:13.299
 wages

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:13.899
 of sin

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.460
 and we

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:14.960
 have all

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:15.359
 sinned

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:15.680
 and fall

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.019
 short of

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:16.339
 the glory

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.700
 of God

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.379
 who can

00:30:17.379 --> 00:30:17.980
 stand

00:30:17.980 --> 00:30:18.379
 before

00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:18.779
 our

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.099
 enemy

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:20.440
 no one

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:21.220
 is worthy

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.920
 except

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.920
 for the

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.899
 lion of

00:30:23.899 --> 00:30:24.379
 Judah

00:30:24.379 --> 00:30:25.420
 who has

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:26.160
 conquered

00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.420
 and that's

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:29.860
 an allusion

00:30:29.860 --> 00:30:30.360
 to Genesis

00:30:30.360 --> 00:30:31.140
 49

00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:32.200
 8-10

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:33.660
 when in

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.540
 his prophetic

00:30:34.540 --> 00:30:35.320
 blessing of

00:30:35.320 --> 00:30:35.800
 his son

00:30:35.800 --> 00:30:36.380
 Jacob

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:37.140
 prophesied

00:30:37.140 --> 00:30:37.759
 that Judah

00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.560
 is a

00:30:38.560 --> 00:30:39.279
 lion's

00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:39.620
 cub

00:30:39.620 --> 00:30:41.259
 and that

00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:41.880
 from his

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.160
 line

00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:43.240
 the scepter

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:43.740
 will not

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.259
 depart

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:46.540
 rulers

00:30:46.540 --> 00:30:47.340
 will come

00:30:47.340 --> 00:30:47.920
 from Judah

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.120
 the messianic

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.519
 king

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.320
 the lion

00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:51.779
 will come

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:52.620
 from the tribe

00:30:52.620 --> 00:30:53.060
 of Judah

00:30:53.060 --> 00:30:53.519
 and that

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.480
 is Jesus

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:58.180
 and he

00:30:58.180 --> 00:30:58.980
 has conquered

00:30:58.980 --> 00:31:03.519
 that word

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:03.940
 conquer

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.819
 as you guys

00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:05.140
 have seen

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:05.440
 already

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:05.960
 is a key

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.259
 word

00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:06.519
 throughout

00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:06.860
 the book

00:31:06.860 --> 00:31:07.400
 of Revelation

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.480
 at the end

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:09.839
 of each

00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:10.339
 of the letters

00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:11.500
 to the seven

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:11.779
 churches

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.160
 that we have

00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:12.519
 seen

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.579
 Jesus

00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:14.180
 ends the

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:14.339
 letter

00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:14.680
 with the

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.240
 same

00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:15.960
 line

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:16.480
 he offers

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:16.779
 them a

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.319
 promise

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:18.500
 of eternal

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:18.960
 life

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.319
 and of

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:19.740
 the kingdom

00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:20.299
 of God

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:20.680
 and a

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:20.940
 heavenly

00:31:20.940 --> 00:31:21.500
 reward

00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:22.240
 and he

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.599
 begins

00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:23.160
 that promise

00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:23.720
 always by

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.079
 saying

00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:24.720
 to the

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.079
 one

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:25.539
 who

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:26.460
 conquers

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:27.339
 I will

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:27.879
 give this

00:31:27.879 --> 00:31:28.899
 to the

00:31:28.899 --> 00:31:29.220
 one

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:29.539
 who

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:30.359
 conquers

00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:31.379
 and so

00:31:31.379 --> 00:31:31.899
 this is

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.579
 it's going

00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:33.119
 back to

00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:33.399
 that

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:34.139
 that language

00:31:34.139 --> 00:31:34.519
 here

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:35.139
 and it's

00:31:35.139 --> 00:31:35.679
 telling us

00:31:35.679 --> 00:31:36.399
 that Jesus

00:31:36.399 --> 00:31:37.119
 has

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:37.659
 conquered

00:31:37.659 --> 00:31:39.240
 and so

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.619
 if you

00:31:39.619 --> 00:31:39.879
 want to

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.240
 conquer

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.559
 if you

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:40.740
 want to

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.039
 be one

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.159
 who

00:31:41.159 --> 00:31:41.619
 receives

00:31:41.619 --> 00:31:41.859
 those

00:31:41.859 --> 00:31:42.220
 promises

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.639
 of God

00:31:42.639 --> 00:31:42.980
 then you

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:43.279
 need to

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:43.559
 do

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:43.980
 what

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.419
 Jesus

00:31:44.419 --> 00:31:44.859
 did

00:31:44.859 --> 00:31:45.139
 you need

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.579
 to follow

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:46.500
 in his

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:47.139
 footsteps

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:48.259
 and that

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:48.819
 raised the

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.179
 question

00:31:49.179 --> 00:31:49.579
 well how

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:50.199
 exactly

00:31:50.199 --> 00:31:50.720
 did Jesus

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.199
 conquer

00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:54.860
 it tells

00:31:54.860 --> 00:31:55.100
 us in

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.660
 verses 6

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.039
 to 9

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:56.420
 and that's

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:56.700
 where we

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:57.019
 see that

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:57.460
 Jesus is

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:57.880
 not only

00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.380
 the line

00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:00.039
 the conquering

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:00.620
 line but he's

00:32:00.620 --> 00:32:01.160
 the slain

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:01.539
 lamb

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:04.700
 he says

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:05.360
 in verse 6

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:05.819
 and between

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:06.460
 the throne

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:06.840
 and the

00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:07.259
 four living

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:07.680
 creatures

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.259
 and among

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.759
 the elders

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:09.259
 I saw

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:09.940
 a lamb

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.960
 standing

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:12.039
 as though

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.360
 it had

00:32:12.360 --> 00:32:13.220
 been slain

00:32:13.220 --> 00:32:14.259
 with seven

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.700
 horns

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.059
 and with

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.840
 seven eyes

00:32:15.840 --> 00:32:16.279
 which are

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.880
 the seven

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:17.600
 spirits of

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:18.259
 God sent

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:18.880
 out into

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.420
 all the

00:32:19.420 --> 00:32:19.720
 earth

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:21.740
 there's a

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.240
 deliberate

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:23.319
 shocking

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.059
 juxtaposition

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.740
 here between

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.420
 what John

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:25.980
 hears

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.920
 and what

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.220
 John

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.799
 sees

00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.000
 he hears

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.339
 the lion

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:32.019
 of the tribe

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.339
 of Judah

00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:33.160
 has conquered

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:34.539
 but then

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:34.880
 when he

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:35.420
 turns to

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:35.860
 look

00:32:35.860 --> 00:32:37.339
 he doesn't

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:38.240
 see a

00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:38.559
 mighty

00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:39.019
 roaring

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:39.440
 lion

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.519
 he sees

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:43.259
 a slain

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:43.860
 lamb

00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:46.880
 it's not

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:47.360
 saying here

00:32:47.360 --> 00:32:48.000
 that he

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:48.680
 only looked

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:49.240
 like he was

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.579
 slain

00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:50.199
 as though

00:32:50.199 --> 00:32:50.419
 it had

00:32:50.419 --> 00:32:50.720
 slain

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.079
 can be

00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:51.740
 misinterpreted

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:52.000
 that way

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:52.359
 but that's

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.619
 not what

00:32:52.619 --> 00:32:53.000
 it means

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.259
 you can

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.779
 see clearly

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.119
 in verse

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:54.419
 nine

00:32:54.419 --> 00:32:54.799
 that he

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:55.319
 was

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.919
 slain

00:32:55.919 --> 00:32:57.500
 and this

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:57.720
 is a

00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:58.179
 profound

00:32:58.179 --> 00:32:58.699
 revelation

00:32:58.699 --> 00:32:59.399
 of who

00:32:59.399 --> 00:32:59.839
 Jesus

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.319
 is

00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:00.740
 and how

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:01.179
 we ought

00:33:01.179 --> 00:33:01.619
 to follow

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:01.859
 him

00:33:01.859 --> 00:33:02.019
 as

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.419
 Christians

00:33:02.419 --> 00:33:05.679
 people

00:33:05.679 --> 00:33:08.240
 have a

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:08.639
 hard time

00:33:08.639 --> 00:33:08.919
 with this

00:33:08.919 --> 00:33:09.240
 reality

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.779
 sometimes

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:12.179
 they want

00:33:12.179 --> 00:33:12.960
 God to be

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.659
 a conquering

00:33:13.659 --> 00:33:14.019
 lion

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:15.220
 but not

00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:15.779
 the slain

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:16.139
 lamb

00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:21.160
 Jews

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.080
 had a

00:33:22.080 --> 00:33:22.640
 hard time

00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:23.360
 accepting

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:23.940
 the fact

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:24.600
 that their

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:24.980
 long

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.759
 awaited

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.220
 Messiah

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:27.020
 was the

00:33:27.020 --> 00:33:27.520
 crucified

00:33:27.520 --> 00:33:28.020
 king

00:33:28.020 --> 00:33:30.060
 who bore

00:33:30.060 --> 00:33:31.040
 the curse

00:33:31.040 --> 00:33:31.480
 of sin

00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:31.759
 in our

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:32.160
 place

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.780
 Muslims

00:33:34.780 --> 00:33:35.700
 likewise

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:36.220
 revere

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:36.580
 Jesus

00:33:36.580 --> 00:33:37.000
 as a

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.320
 prophet

00:33:37.320 --> 00:33:38.280
 but they

00:33:38.280 --> 00:33:38.580
 do not

00:33:38.580 --> 00:33:39.080
 worship

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.580
 him as

00:33:39.580 --> 00:33:39.900
 the son

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.340
 of God

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:42.300
 as the

00:33:42.300 --> 00:33:43.040
 24 elders

00:33:43.040 --> 00:33:43.300
 and the

00:33:43.300 --> 00:33:43.820
 living creatures

00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:44.259
 do here in

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:44.799
 our passage

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.839
 they despise

00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:47.299
 the idea

00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:47.940
 that Jesus

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:48.579
 suffered

00:33:48.579 --> 00:33:49.559
 and died

00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:51.839
 a Christian

00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:52.240
 missionary

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.879
 once shared

00:33:52.879 --> 00:33:53.619
 this excerpt

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:53.980
 from a

00:33:53.980 --> 00:33:54.220
 Muslim

00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:54.579
 poem

00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:54.819
 that he

00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:55.119
 found

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:55.579
 entitled

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:56.420
 a wonderful

00:33:56.420 --> 00:33:56.940
 question

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:57.299
 for the

00:33:57.299 --> 00:33:57.559
 people

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:57.799
 of the

00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:58.079
 cross

00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:58.299
 and it

00:33:58.299 --> 00:33:58.440
 goes

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.619
 like

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:58.980
 this

00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:00.339
 you

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.539
 who

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:00.900
 worship

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.359
 Jesus

00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:02.119
 I

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:02.359
 have a

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:02.660
 question

00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:03.140
 for you

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:03.859
 can you

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:04.119
 answer

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.400
 it

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.359
 if

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:05.680
 Jesus

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:05.920
 was

00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:06.539
 almighty

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:07.079
 God

00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:07.420
 with

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:07.759
 power

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:07.980
 to

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.239
 strike

00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:08.659
 terror

00:34:08.659 --> 00:34:08.900
 into

00:34:08.900 --> 00:34:09.179
 all

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:09.519
 men

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:10.599
 why

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:39.360
 exactly

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:39.660
 what

00:36:39.660 --> 00:36:39.980
 Jesus

00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:42.680
 precisely

00:36:42.680 --> 00:36:43.220
 why

00:36:43.220 --> 00:36:43.640
 these

00:36:43.640 --> 00:36:43.900
 men

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.219
 that's

00:36:50.219 --> 00:36:50.400
 why

00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:02.940
 raise

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.079
 him

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.239
 from

00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:03.380
 the

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:03.559
 dead

00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:03.800
 because

00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:03.940
 he

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:04.039
 had

00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:04.280
 already

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.639
 promised

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:04.820
 to

00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:04.960
 him

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:05.119
 that

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:05.280
 his

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:05.619
 descendants

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:05.840
 would

00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.019
 come

00:38:06.019 --> 00:38:06.300
 through

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:06.699
 Isaac

00:38:06.699 --> 00:38:07.320
 and

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:07.460
 so

00:38:07.460 --> 00:38:07.639
 in

00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:08.000
 faith

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:08.159
 he

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:08.519
 goes

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:09.820
 and

00:38:09.820 --> 00:38:10.019
 as

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:10.199
 they're

00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:10.579
 going

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:11.179
 Isaac

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:11.880
 poignantly

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:12.320
 asks

00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:13.159
 his

00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.519
 dad

00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:14.460
 father

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:15.739
 behold

00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:16.340
 the

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:16.659
 fire

00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:16.780
 and

00:38:16.780 --> 00:38:16.900
 the

00:38:16.900 --> 00:38:17.099
 wood

00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:17.300
 but

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:17.559
 where

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:17.699
 is

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:17.880
 the

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:18.219
 lamb

00:38:18.219 --> 00:38:18.440
 for

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.579
 the

00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:18.780
 burnt

00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:19.159
 offering

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:20.280
 and

00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:20.440
 then

00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:20.880
 Abram

00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:21.420
 says

00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.259
 son

00:38:22.259 --> 00:38:23.360
 the

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:23.539
 Lord

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:23.780
 God

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:23.960
 will

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.300
 supply

00:38:24.300 --> 00:38:24.500
 the

00:38:24.500 --> 00:38:24.759
 lamb

00:38:24.759 --> 00:38:26.320
 and

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:26.500
 of

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:26.719
 course

00:38:26.719 --> 00:38:27.099
 God

00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:27.780
 intervenes

00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:27.880
 in

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:27.960
 the

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:28.199
 last

00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:28.519
 minute

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:29.259
 spares

00:38:29.259 --> 00:38:29.699
 Isaac

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:30.059
 and

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:30.619
 provides

00:38:30.619 --> 00:38:31.280
 a

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:31.599
 ram

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.900
 that

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.780
 sacrifice

00:38:33.780 --> 00:38:34.179
 in

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:34.820
 place

00:38:34.820 --> 00:38:35.159
 of

00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:35.519
 Isaac

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:37.639
 and

00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:37.719
 in

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:37.940
 this

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.179
 way

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:38.460
 it's

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.000
 Jesus

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.599
 whose

00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:40.359
 sacrifice

00:38:40.359 --> 00:38:41.179
 restores

00:38:41.179 --> 00:38:41.799
 us

00:38:41.799 --> 00:38:42.319
 as

00:38:42.319 --> 00:38:42.839
 his

00:38:42.839 --> 00:38:44.299
 son

00:38:44.299 --> 00:38:44.699
 as

00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:44.839
 we

00:38:44.839 --> 00:38:44.980
 are

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:45.219
 called

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:45.379
 the

00:38:45.379 --> 00:38:45.559
 people

00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:45.699
 of

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:45.879
 God

00:38:45.879 --> 00:38:45.980
 in

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:46.239
 Exodus

00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:46.719
 3

00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:47.259
 to

00:38:47.259 --> 00:38:47.500
 the

00:38:47.500 --> 00:38:48.119
 father's

00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:48.859
 arms

00:38:48.859 --> 00:38:52.179
 as we

00:38:52.179 --> 00:38:52.480
 read in

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:52.599
 our

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:52.919
 assurance

00:38:52.919 --> 00:38:53.099
 of

00:38:53.099 --> 00:38:53.339
 pardon

00:38:53.339 --> 00:38:53.579
 this

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:53.819
 morning

00:38:53.819 --> 00:38:54.039
 in

00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:54.279
 Isaiah

00:38:54.279 --> 00:38:54.919
 53

00:38:54.919 --> 00:38:55.219
 it

00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:55.960
 prophesied

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:56.399
 of

00:38:56.399 --> 00:38:56.759
 the

00:38:56.759 --> 00:38:57.019
 coming

00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:57.440
 Messiah

00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:57.659
 that

00:38:57.659 --> 00:38:57.779
 he

00:38:57.779 --> 00:38:57.960
 would

00:38:57.960 --> 00:38:58.659
 bear

00:38:58.659 --> 00:38:58.980
 our

00:38:58.980 --> 00:38:59.559
 griefs

00:38:59.559 --> 00:38:59.699
 and

00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:00.039
 carry

00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:00.279
 our

00:39:00.279 --> 00:39:00.799
 sorrows

00:39:00.799 --> 00:39:01.539
 that

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:01.619
 he

00:39:01.619 --> 00:39:01.779
 be

00:39:01.779 --> 00:39:02.319
 pierced

00:39:02.319 --> 00:39:02.519
 for

00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:02.799
 our

00:39:02.799 --> 00:39:03.559
 transgressions

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:03.739
 and

00:39:03.739 --> 00:39:03.899
 that

00:39:03.899 --> 00:39:04.059
 he

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:04.239
 would

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:04.419
 be

00:39:04.419 --> 00:39:04.899
 crushed

00:39:04.899 --> 00:39:05.399
 for

00:39:05.399 --> 00:39:05.559
 our

00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:06.039
 iniquities

00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.159
 that he

00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:07.400
 would be

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:07.779
 like a

00:39:07.779 --> 00:39:08.179
 lamb

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:08.519
 that is

00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:08.940
 led to

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:09.099
 the

00:39:09.099 --> 00:39:09.440
 slaughter

00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:09.759
 who is

00:39:09.759 --> 00:39:10.139
 silent

00:39:10.139 --> 00:39:11.000
 before

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:11.259
 its

00:39:11.259 --> 00:39:11.820
 shearers

00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:15.059
 we

00:39:15.059 --> 00:39:15.619
 were the

00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:15.960
 sinful

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.480
 rebellious

00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:16.699
 sheep

00:39:16.699 --> 00:39:16.980
 that had

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:17.179
 gone

00:39:17.179 --> 00:39:17.639
 astray

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:18.380
 all to

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:18.539
 our

00:39:18.539 --> 00:39:18.860
 own

00:39:18.860 --> 00:39:19.320
 ways

00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:20.059
 but

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:20.639
 Jesus

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.400
 who was

00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:21.920
 perfectly

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.420
 obedient

00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:22.860
 he

00:39:22.860 --> 00:39:23.139
 took

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:23.380
 our

00:39:23.380 --> 00:39:23.699
 place

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:23.940
 and

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.320
 died

00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:25.039
 in our

00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:25.500
 place

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:26.539
 so that

00:39:26.539 --> 00:39:26.739
 we

00:39:26.739 --> 00:39:27.179
 can be

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:27.699
 restored

00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:28.059
 to the

00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:28.320
 fold

00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:28.559
 of the

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:28.759
 great

00:39:28.759 --> 00:39:29.059
 shepherd

00:39:29.059 --> 00:39:31.739
 and

00:39:31.739 --> 00:39:32.000
 perhaps

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.320
 most

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:32.880
 prominently

00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:33.099
 the

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:33.299
 lamb

00:39:33.299 --> 00:39:33.460
 of

00:39:33.460 --> 00:39:33.779
 God

00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:34.000
 is

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.099
 an

00:39:34.099 --> 00:39:34.420
 allusion

00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:34.599
 to

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:34.739
 the

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:35.239
 Passover

00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:36.099
 in

00:39:36.099 --> 00:39:36.360
 Exodus

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:36.820
 12

00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:37.579
 when

00:39:37.579 --> 00:39:37.860
 God

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:38.019
 was

00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:38.440
 delivering

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:38.739
 Israel

00:39:38.739 --> 00:39:38.940
 from

00:39:38.940 --> 00:39:39.119
 their

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:39.599
 slavery

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:39.880
 in

00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:40.340
 Egypt

00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:40.920
 he

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.420
 instructed

00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:41.659
 the

00:39:41.659 --> 00:39:41.880
 Israelites

00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:42.079
 to

00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:42.340
 take

00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:42.519
 a

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:42.920
 lamb

00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:43.619
 without

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:44.279
 blemish

00:39:44.279 --> 00:39:44.679
 and

00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:44.840
 to

00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:45.079
 kill

00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:45.259
 it

00:39:45.259 --> 00:39:45.420
 and

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:45.619
 to

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:45.820
 take

00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:46.000
 some

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:46.079
 of

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:46.179
 its

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:46.539
 blood

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:46.719
 and

00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:46.900
 to

00:39:46.900 --> 00:39:47.639
 daub

00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:47.759
 it

00:39:47.759 --> 00:39:48.019
 on

00:39:48.019 --> 00:39:48.239
 the

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:48.659
 lintel

00:39:48.659 --> 00:39:48.860
 and

00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:48.980
 the

00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:49.539
 doorpost

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:49.719
 of

00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:49.840
 the

00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:50.179
 houses

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:50.880
 so that

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:51.019
 the

00:39:51.019 --> 00:39:51.380
 blood

00:39:51.380 --> 00:39:51.639
 may

00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:51.719
 be

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:51.880
 the

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:52.360
 symbol

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:52.759
 to

00:39:52.759 --> 00:39:53.259
 them

00:39:53.259 --> 00:39:54.099
 and

00:39:59.059 --> 00:39:59.239
 blood

00:39:59.239 --> 00:39:59.380
 of

00:39:59.380 --> 00:39:59.500
 the

00:39:59.500 --> 00:39:59.860
 lamb

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:00.599
 so

00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:00.759
 they

00:40:00.759 --> 00:40:00.860
 can

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:01.059
 be

00:40:01.059 --> 00:40:01.579
 spared

00:40:01.579 --> 00:40:02.159
 from

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:02.360
 the

00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:02.699
 wrath

00:40:02.699 --> 00:40:02.840
 of

00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:02.940
 the

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:03.500
 destroyer

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:03.619
 that

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:03.840
 God

00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:04.199
 sends

00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:04.480
 throughout

00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:04.799
 Egypt

00:40:04.799 --> 00:40:05.019
 in

00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:05.360
 judgment

00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.480
 and

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:07.619
 so

00:40:07.619 --> 00:40:07.880
 Paul

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:08.139
 says

00:40:08.139 --> 00:40:08.259
 in

00:40:08.259 --> 00:40:08.500
 1st

00:40:08.500 --> 00:40:08.779
 Corinthians

00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:09.320

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:09.799
 Christ

00:40:09.799 --> 00:40:10.179
 our

00:40:10.179 --> 00:40:10.799
 Passover

00:40:10.799 --> 00:40:11.299
 lamb

00:40:11.299 --> 00:40:11.639
 has

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:11.880
 been

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.719
 sacrificed

00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:13.820
 it's

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:13.960
 the

00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:14.320
 blood

00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:14.519
 of

00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:14.840
 Jesus

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:15.340
 shed

00:40:15.340 --> 00:40:15.639
 for

00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:16.119
 us

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:16.960
 Jesus

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.579
 death

00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:17.799
 on

00:40:17.799 --> 00:40:17.980
 our

00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:18.519
 behalf

00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:19.079
 that

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:19.460
 averts

00:40:19.460 --> 00:40:19.659
 the

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:20.039
 judgment

00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:20.299
 and

00:40:20.299 --> 00:40:20.799
 punishment

00:40:20.799 --> 00:40:21.659
 that

00:40:21.659 --> 00:40:21.980
 we

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:22.679
 deserve

00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:23.719
 and

00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:24.079
 frees

00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:24.239
 us

00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:24.420
 from

00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:24.579
 our

00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:24.860
 slavery

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:25.099
 to

00:40:25.099 --> 00:40:25.320
 sin

00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.719
 Jesus

00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:27.940
 is

00:40:27.940 --> 00:40:28.079
 the

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:28.539
 fulfillment

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:28.779
 of

00:40:28.779 --> 00:40:29.320
 all

00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:29.539
 of

00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:29.719
 these

00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:30.099
 biblical

00:40:30.099 --> 00:40:30.500
 imageries

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:30.860
 and

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:31.300
 more

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:31.719
 about

00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:31.960
 the

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:32.360
 lamb

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:32.880
 of

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:33.300
 God

00:40:33.300 --> 00:40:34.659
 and

00:40:34.659 --> 00:40:34.900
 note

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:35.119
 that

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:35.279
 in

00:40:35.279 --> 00:40:35.599
 all

00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:35.739
 of

00:40:35.739 --> 00:40:35.940
 those

00:40:35.940 --> 00:40:36.219
 images

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:36.420
 that

00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:36.519
 we

00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:36.699
 just

00:40:36.699 --> 00:40:36.960
 talked

00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:37.279
 about

00:40:37.279 --> 00:40:38.179
 and

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:38.400
 there

00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:38.480
 are

00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:38.860
 others

00:40:38.860 --> 00:40:39.900
 in

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:40.300
 all

00:40:40.300 --> 00:40:40.500
 of

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:40.639
 them

00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:40.900
 every

00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:41.199
 single

00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:41.380
 one

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:41.460
 of

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:41.579
 those

00:40:41.579 --> 00:40:41.900
 images

00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:42.259
 the

00:40:42.259 --> 00:40:42.639
 lamb

00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:43.360
 dies

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:46.159
 and

00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:46.440
 that's

00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:46.559
 the

00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:46.960
 point

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.639
 Jesus

00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:50.360
 conquered

00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:50.940
 by

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:51.420
 being

00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:52.059
 slain

00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:53.980
 Jesus

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:54.840
 won

00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:55.759
 by

00:40:55.759 --> 00:40:56.920
 losing

00:40:56.920 --> 00:41:00.380
 and

00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:00.900
 that's

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:01.119
 the

00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:01.500
 pattern

00:41:01.500 --> 00:41:01.720
 that

00:41:01.720 --> 00:41:01.900
 we

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:02.079
 have

00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:02.200
 to

00:41:02.200 --> 00:41:02.460
 follow

00:41:02.460 --> 00:41:02.680
 if

00:41:02.680 --> 00:41:03.019
 we

00:41:03.019 --> 00:41:03.320
 want

00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:03.420
 to

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:03.539
 be

00:41:03.539 --> 00:41:03.920
 ones

00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:04.099
 who

00:41:04.099 --> 00:41:04.579
 conquer

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:04.800
 and

00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:05.260
 inherit

00:41:05.260 --> 00:41:05.460
 the

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:05.760
 promises

00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:05.960
 of

00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:06.240
 God

00:41:06.240 --> 00:41:10.099
 1 Peter 2

00:41:10.099 --> 00:41:11.039
 19-25

00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:11.480
 tells us

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:11.800
 that Jesus

00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:12.619
 was reviled

00:41:12.619 --> 00:41:12.900
 but he

00:41:12.900 --> 00:41:13.139
 did not

00:41:13.139 --> 00:41:13.599
 revile

00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:14.099
 in return

00:41:14.099 --> 00:41:14.619
 he suffered

00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:15.340
 unjustly

00:41:15.340 --> 00:41:15.559
 yet he

00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:15.860
 did not

00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:16.340
 threaten

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:17.260
 instead

00:41:17.260 --> 00:41:17.960
 he

00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:18.680
 entrusted

00:41:18.680 --> 00:41:19.059
 himself

00:41:19.059 --> 00:41:19.400
 to

00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:19.820
 God

00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:20.000
 who

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:20.380
 judges

00:41:20.380 --> 00:41:20.980
 justly

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:22.719
 and in

00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:23.059
 that same

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.539
 passage

00:41:23.539 --> 00:41:23.820
 Peter

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:24.340
 tells us

00:41:24.340 --> 00:41:24.699
 that in

00:41:24.699 --> 00:41:24.960
 this

00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:25.260
 manner

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:25.599
 Jesus

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:26.280
 suffered

00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:27.119
 so that

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:27.699
 for us

00:41:27.699 --> 00:41:28.059
 he could

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:28.699
 leave an

00:41:28.699 --> 00:41:29.559
 example

00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:30.320
 so that

00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:30.740
 we might

00:41:30.740 --> 00:41:31.240
 follow in

00:41:31.240 --> 00:41:31.760
 his steps

00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:34.119
 and that

00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:34.360
 word

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:34.800
 translated

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:35.340
 example

00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:36.719
 was used

00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:37.119
 at the

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:37.500
 time

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:38.039
 to refer

00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:38.719
 to a

00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:39.159
 pattern

00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:39.920
 of

00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:40.400
 alphabet

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:40.860
 letters

00:41:40.860 --> 00:41:41.820
 over which

00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:42.340
 children

00:41:42.340 --> 00:41:43.260
 would write

00:41:43.260 --> 00:41:43.760
 and learn

00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:44.280
 to write

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:45.219
 they would

00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:45.699
 trace

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:46.139
 and that's

00:41:46.139 --> 00:41:46.340
 how they

00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:46.780
 would learn

00:41:46.780 --> 00:41:47.059
 the

00:41:47.059 --> 00:41:47.519
 the

00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:48.219
 Greek

00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:48.559
 alphabet

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:49.559
 so it's

00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:49.940
 really like

00:41:49.940 --> 00:41:50.679
 a stencil

00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:51.719
 so it's

00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:52.059
 a much

00:41:52.059 --> 00:41:52.799
 maybe even

00:41:52.799 --> 00:41:53.339
 stronger

00:41:53.339 --> 00:41:53.679
 word

00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:54.079
 than a

00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:54.460
 pattern

00:41:54.460 --> 00:41:55.279
 or an

00:41:55.279 --> 00:41:55.799
 example

00:41:55.799 --> 00:41:57.379
 Jesus

00:41:57.379 --> 00:41:57.679

00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:58.259
 suffering

00:41:58.259 --> 00:41:59.259
 and death

00:42:28.459 --> 00:42:28.899
 that looks

00:42:28.899 --> 00:42:29.359
 out for the

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:49.200
 of power

00:42:49.200 --> 00:42:49.960
 and prestige

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.860
 in this

00:42:50.860 --> 00:42:51.180
 world

00:42:51.180 --> 00:42:54.800
 we can get

00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.360
 a glimpse

00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:56.000
 of what our

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:56.940
 society is like

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:57.320
 I think

00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:57.820
 and what our

00:42:57.820 --> 00:42:58.599
 political discourse

00:42:58.599 --> 00:42:59.099
 is like

00:42:59.099 --> 00:42:59.700
 from just

00:42:59.700 --> 00:43:00.820
 scanning the

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:02.280
 clickbait

00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:02.820
 to YouTube

00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:03.300
 headlines

00:43:03.300 --> 00:43:06.780
 it seems

00:43:06.780 --> 00:43:08.440
 like everybody

00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.420
 wants to

00:43:10.420 --> 00:43:11.220
 watch videos

00:43:11.220 --> 00:43:12.260
 where so

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:12.680
 and so

00:43:12.680 --> 00:43:13.680
 owns

00:43:13.680 --> 00:43:14.600
 so and so

00:43:14.600 --> 00:43:16.240
 you guys know

00:43:16.240 --> 00:43:16.740
 exactly what I'm

00:43:16.740 --> 00:43:17.180
 talking about

00:43:17.180 --> 00:43:18.120
 so and so

00:43:18.120 --> 00:43:19.460
 destroys

00:43:19.460 --> 00:43:20.320
 so and so

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:21.240
 so and so

00:43:21.240 --> 00:43:22.240
 humiliates

00:43:22.240 --> 00:43:22.900
 so and so

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:23.600
 so and so

00:43:23.600 --> 00:43:25.140
 embarrasses

00:43:25.140 --> 00:43:26.820
 so and so

00:43:26.820 --> 00:43:31.800
 we love the

00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:32.400
 idea of

00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:33.240
 resistance

00:43:33.240 --> 00:43:35.340
 vive la

00:43:35.340 --> 00:43:35.820
 revolution

00:43:35.820 --> 00:43:40.059
 but that's

00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:40.460
 the way

00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:40.780
 of the

00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:41.240
 dragon

00:43:41.240 --> 00:43:42.420
 not the

00:43:42.420 --> 00:43:42.680
 way of

00:43:42.680 --> 00:43:43.100
 the lamb

00:43:43.100 --> 00:43:48.720
 where are

00:43:48.720 --> 00:43:49.280
 the Christians

00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:50.820
 who are

00:43:50.820 --> 00:43:51.340
 willing to

00:43:51.340 --> 00:43:51.780
 lose

00:43:51.780 --> 00:43:53.080
 arguments

00:43:53.080 --> 00:43:55.940
 to win

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:56.480
 the person

00:43:56.480 --> 00:44:00.699
 where are

00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:01.240
 the Christians

00:44:01.240 --> 00:44:01.519
 who are

00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:01.880
 willing to

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:02.480
 confess their

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:03.000
 sins

00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:04.719
 in vulnerability

00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:05.800
 rather than

00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:06.360
 putting on

00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:07.300
 pretensions of

00:44:07.300 --> 00:44:09.860
 invincibility

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:13.199
 where are the

00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:13.699
 Christians who

00:44:13.699 --> 00:44:14.119
 are willing to

00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:14.740
 be crushed

00:44:14.740 --> 00:44:15.920
 by their

00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:16.699
 persecutors

00:44:16.699 --> 00:44:18.139
 and by their

00:44:18.139 --> 00:44:18.500
 enemies

00:44:18.500 --> 00:44:19.000
 rather than

00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:19.860
 destroying their

00:44:19.860 --> 00:44:20.280
 enemies

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.880
 where are the

00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:23.260
 Christians who

00:44:23.260 --> 00:44:23.619
 are willing to

00:44:23.619 --> 00:44:24.400
 give up their

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:25.460
 selfish ambitions

00:44:25.460 --> 00:44:26.519
 and their

00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:27.579
 rights and

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:28.440
 their entitlements

00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:29.340
 to give away

00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:30.019
 their wealth

00:44:30.019 --> 00:44:31.000
 and to give away

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:31.740
 their possessions

00:44:31.740 --> 00:44:32.900
 and to give away

00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:33.699
 even their very

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:35.159
 lives to bear

00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:35.960
 witness to the

00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:36.920
 slain lamb of

00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:38.559
 God so that you

00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:39.840
 can say my life

00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.980
 that's the picture

00:44:40.980 --> 00:44:42.000
 of what Jesus did

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:42.460
 for you

00:44:42.460 --> 00:44:46.920
 will you succumb

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:48.019
 to this world by

00:44:48.019 --> 00:44:48.659
 following its

00:44:48.659 --> 00:44:50.039
 pattern its

00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:51.119
 stencil or will

00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:52.639
 you overcome by

00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:53.639
 following the

00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:54.240
 pattern of Jesus

00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.619
 Christ but we

00:44:58.619 --> 00:44:59.359
 must not mistake

00:44:59.359 --> 00:44:59.839
 the lamb's

00:44:59.839 --> 00:45:01.099
 humility as

00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:03.379
 weakness we

00:45:03.379 --> 00:45:04.099
 see the lamb's

00:45:04.099 --> 00:45:05.119
 resurrection power

00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:06.639
 here too because

00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:07.139
 even though the

00:45:07.139 --> 00:45:07.639
 lamb has been

00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:09.199
 slain we see in

00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:10.079
 verse 6 the lamb

00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:12.359
 is standing it's

00:45:12.359 --> 00:45:14.459
 amazing that's a

00:45:14.459 --> 00:45:15.279
 sign of Christ's

00:45:15.279 --> 00:45:15.699
 victorious

00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:17.659
 resurrection Jesus

00:45:17.659 --> 00:45:19.119
 died but he did

00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:20.079
 not stay dead he

00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:20.819
 rose from the dead

00:45:20.819 --> 00:45:21.379
 that's why he's

00:45:21.379 --> 00:45:23.119
 still standing and

00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:23.839
 not only that verse

00:45:23.839 --> 00:45:24.599
 6 says that the

00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:25.500
 lamb has seven

00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:27.900
 horns seven eyes

00:45:27.900 --> 00:45:28.639
 which are the

00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:29.619
 seven spirits of

00:45:29.619 --> 00:45:31.099
 God sent out into

00:45:31.099 --> 00:45:32.420
 all the earth the

00:45:32.420 --> 00:45:33.420
 horns are a symbol

00:45:33.420 --> 00:45:34.859
 of power and

00:45:34.859 --> 00:45:35.960
 authority as we see

00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:36.500
 clearly in the

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:37.359
 prophetic visions of

00:45:37.359 --> 00:45:39.579
 Daniel 7 and that's

00:45:39.579 --> 00:45:40.179
 what that's alluding

00:45:40.179 --> 00:45:41.679
 to and the eyes are

00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:42.719
 a symbol of knowledge

00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:44.980
 and vision and here

00:45:44.980 --> 00:45:45.759
 more specifically

00:45:45.759 --> 00:45:46.599
 referring to the

00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:47.400
 Holy Spirit so

00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:48.079
 Jesus has the

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:49.519
 fullness of spirit

00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:50.199
 that's why he says

00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:50.839
 he has the seven

00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:52.039
 spirits of God

00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:56.740
 the sets of seven

00:45:56.740 --> 00:45:57.620
 all describe the

00:45:57.620 --> 00:45:58.700
 completeness or the

00:45:58.700 --> 00:45:59.860
 fullness of Jesus's

00:45:59.860 --> 00:46:00.640
 attributes so in

00:46:00.640 --> 00:46:01.420
 other words Jesus

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:03.559
 has all power his

00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:04.920
 seven horns Jesus

00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:06.539
 has all knowledge he

00:46:06.539 --> 00:46:08.140
 has seven eyes he

00:46:08.140 --> 00:46:10.240
 is omnipotent and

00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:14.800
 omniscient and yet he

00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.600
 was slain so that by

00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:20.699
 his blood he might

00:46:20.699 --> 00:46:21.839
 ransom people for

00:46:21.839 --> 00:46:22.559
 God as it says in

00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:24.460
 verses 9 to 10 from

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:25.559
 every tribe and

00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:26.500
 language and people

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:27.500
 and nation that he

00:46:27.500 --> 00:46:28.599
 might make them a

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.380
 kingdom and priest to

00:46:30.380 --> 00:46:31.679
 our God who reign on

00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:33.539
 the earth the four

00:46:33.539 --> 00:46:34.480
 full repetition of

00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:35.380
 those terms that are

00:46:35.380 --> 00:46:36.599
 similar tribe language

00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:37.839
 people and nation

00:46:37.839 --> 00:46:39.179
 they imply the

00:46:39.179 --> 00:46:41.940
 universality of God's

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:44.159
 saving work the

00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:45.139
 number four is often

00:46:45.139 --> 00:46:45.920
 used symbolically in

00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:46.960
 revelation to refer to

00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:48.900
 the entire earth that

00:46:48.900 --> 00:46:49.460
 or the all of

00:46:49.460 --> 00:46:50.099
 creation so he

00:46:50.099 --> 00:46:51.280
 speaks of the four

00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:52.460
 winds from the four

00:46:52.460 --> 00:46:53.240
 corners of the earth

00:46:53.240 --> 00:46:54.720
 in revelation 7 and

00:46:54.720 --> 00:46:56.539
 or the four corners of

00:46:56.539 --> 00:46:57.300
 the earth in revelation

00:46:57.300 --> 00:46:59.300
 20 verse 8 and so

00:46:59.300 --> 00:47:00.119
 here when he says

00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.840
 four times the tribe the

00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:03.860
 language and people and

00:47:03.860 --> 00:47:05.880
 nation he's telling us

00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:07.820
 that God's people will

00:47:07.820 --> 00:47:08.639
 be made up of people

00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:10.500
 from every nation and

00:47:10.500 --> 00:47:14.519
 from everywhere that

00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:15.660
 means he saves not the

00:47:15.659 --> 00:47:18.079
 Jews only but also you

00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:20.759
 and me includes all of

00:47:20.759 --> 00:47:23.940
 us we who are once far

00:47:23.940 --> 00:47:25.359
 off have been brought

00:47:25.359 --> 00:47:27.059
 near we who are once

00:47:27.059 --> 00:47:28.879
 unclean spiritual lepers

00:47:28.879 --> 00:47:30.579
 have been made to stand

00:47:30.579 --> 00:47:31.699
 in the temple of God to

00:47:31.699 --> 00:47:32.719
 be the temple of God to

00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:34.619
 be priests of God we who

00:47:34.619 --> 00:47:36.920
 are once treasonous rebels

00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.559
 have been made to reign

00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.139
 with him as kings in the

00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:46.480
 kingdom of God that's the

00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.119
 mercy that Christ shows

00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:49.719
 and we should be grateful

00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:50.739
 that he is a slain lamb

00:47:50.739 --> 00:47:51.859
 of God because he is only

00:47:51.859 --> 00:47:54.019
 the line of Judah who

00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:55.500
 came to conquer all of his

00:47:55.500 --> 00:47:57.619
 enemies with the force of

00:47:57.619 --> 00:47:59.480
 his might we would have

00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:06.739
 all been crushed and

00:48:06.739 --> 00:48:08.500
 because Jesus is the lion

00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:10.760
 and the lamb we now must go

00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:12.159
 and tell these nations

00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.639
 every nation tribe people

00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.420
 and language about what

00:48:17.420 --> 00:48:18.659
 Jesus has done and about

00:48:18.659 --> 00:48:20.320
 who he is because he

00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:21.380
 deserves to be worshipped

00:48:21.380 --> 00:48:24.079
 and praised by all of

00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:26.380
 them God has already

00:48:26.380 --> 00:48:27.860
 ordained people from all

00:48:27.860 --> 00:48:28.860
 of these nations and

00:48:28.860 --> 00:48:29.739
 ethnic and linguistic

00:48:29.739 --> 00:48:30.840
 people groups to come to

00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:32.199
 know him and to worship

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:33.780
 him and that's why we can

00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:35.400
 with confidence go to the

00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:36.820
 ends of the earth to make

00:48:36.820 --> 00:48:38.480
 disciples of all nations

00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.360
 and we see finally the

00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:45.480
 picture of Jesus as the

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:47.179
 worthy Lord in verses 11

00:48:47.179 --> 00:48:50.400
 to 14 note how in verse

00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:52.579
 8 Jesus took that scroll

00:48:52.579 --> 00:48:53.780
 from the right hand of God

00:48:53.780 --> 00:48:57.000
 think about the audacity of

00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.699
 that the one seated on the

00:48:59.699 --> 00:49:01.559
 throne though thrice holy God

00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:04.900
 holding it in his right hand

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:07.420
 no one is worthy to take it

00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:10.380
 except Jesus and he takes it

00:49:10.380 --> 00:49:14.099
 and immediately as he takes

00:49:14.099 --> 00:49:15.360
 it the four living creatures

00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:16.380
 which we talked about how

00:49:16.380 --> 00:49:17.900
 represents kind of these

00:49:17.900 --> 00:49:19.820
 attributes of God these

00:49:19.820 --> 00:49:21.500
 angelic representatives all of

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:22.900
 all the creatures on earth

00:49:22.900 --> 00:49:23.760
 they're kind of the heads

00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:25.780
 they represent each other as

00:49:25.780 --> 00:49:27.119
 heads of all the respective

00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:28.420
 categories of animals and

00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:32.099
 creatures the 24 elders

00:49:32.099 --> 00:49:33.720
 elders represent all the people

00:49:33.719 --> 00:49:36.239
 of God the 12 tribes the heads

00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:38.279
 of tribes of Israel the old

00:49:38.279 --> 00:49:39.259
 covenant people of God and the

00:49:39.259 --> 00:49:41.099
 12 apostles were the foundation

00:49:41.099 --> 00:49:42.279
 of the new covenant people of

00:49:42.279 --> 00:49:44.459
 God the church they all fall

00:49:44.459 --> 00:49:46.059
 down before the lamb in worship

00:49:46.059 --> 00:49:48.819
 and adoration the 24 elders even

00:49:48.819 --> 00:49:51.199
 pick up harps they assume the role

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.279
 of worship leaders which is

00:49:53.279 --> 00:49:55.679
 reminiscent of the 24 orders of

00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:57.599
 the Levites who are charged with

00:49:57.599 --> 00:49:59.339
 leading the music in the house of

00:49:59.340 --> 00:50:01.480
 the Lord there were 24 orders of

00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:02.480
 them and these 24 elders

00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:03.920
 representative of that

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.079
 first chronicles 25 6 and it

00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:08.059
 says that they were entrusted

00:50:08.059 --> 00:50:10.220
 with symbols harps and lyres for

00:50:10.220 --> 00:50:12.760
 the service of God so I like to

00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:14.600
 imagine that probably fitting that

00:50:14.600 --> 00:50:16.340
 scene the harps are representative

00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:18.620
 instruments but not the only

00:50:18.620 --> 00:50:21.019
 instruments so I imagine harps

00:50:21.019 --> 00:50:26.340
 strings lyres symbols joining in

00:50:26.340 --> 00:50:30.260
 in worship of the slain lamb of

00:50:30.260 --> 00:50:33.240
 God the elders are also holding a

00:50:33.240 --> 00:50:35.039
 golden golden bowls each holding a

00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:36.460
 golden bowl full of incense which

00:50:36.460 --> 00:50:38.600
 are the prayers of the saints and

00:50:38.600 --> 00:50:40.220
 then means right now as that

00:50:40.220 --> 00:50:42.240
 heavenly worship is going on all the

00:50:42.240 --> 00:50:43.920
 prayers that we utter as the saints

00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.360
 of God are resounding in worship in

00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:51.320
 heaven and they sing a new song

00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:54.519
 because Christ has done a new thing

00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:57.219
 in our midst as God had promised to

00:50:57.219 --> 00:51:00.480
 do in Isaiah 43 he has made us

00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.920
 forget our former pain and our

00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.019
 former sins because he has brought

00:51:05.019 --> 00:51:07.440
 about a new creation for all of

00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.280
 eternity he's worthy to be praised

00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:11.800
 with the new song forever and ever

00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:16.659
 this is why I've spoken to Wes about

00:51:16.659 --> 00:51:19.059
 this our worship leader the leader of

00:51:19.059 --> 00:51:22.360
 our music ministry team I pray for

00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:25.700
 this and I pray that God would use

00:51:25.700 --> 00:51:28.420
 people in our church to write songs

00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:31.760
 of praise worship to God that we

00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:33.559
 might even be able to sing corporately

00:51:33.559 --> 00:51:35.180
 as a body of Christ and maybe it'll

00:51:35.180 --> 00:51:36.860
 even be taken up who knows by

00:51:36.860 --> 00:51:38.079
 sovereign grace music and maybe

00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:40.099
 they'll sing it and record it that's

00:51:40.099 --> 00:51:41.480
 how they get most of their songs it's

00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:42.740
 written by people in other sovereign

00:51:42.740 --> 00:51:43.360
 grace churches

00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:50.200
 not many of you know this but I've

00:51:50.200 --> 00:51:52.840
 been writing worship songs as well

00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:54.400
 since a young age I haven't done in a

00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.820
 while and I wrote one recently and I

00:51:57.820 --> 00:51:59.820
 don't play it for anyone because

00:51:59.820 --> 00:52:04.740
 they're terrible I played it for my

00:52:04.740 --> 00:52:07.300
 wife and she kindly told me it's okay

00:52:07.300 --> 00:52:19.320
 but I write them anyway because I want

00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:25.660
 to sing a new song to God and I want

00:52:25.660 --> 00:52:27.980
 to write thousands of songs even if no

00:52:27.980 --> 00:52:30.260
 one else sings it because God is worthy

00:52:30.260 --> 00:52:33.860
 of it because Jesus is worthy to be sung

00:52:33.860 --> 00:52:40.180
 with a new song every day because his

00:52:40.180 --> 00:52:45.860
 excellencies are infinite his worth is

00:52:46.539 --> 00:52:54.720
 infinite and I can't wait until I get to

00:52:54.720 --> 00:52:57.480
 partake in this chorus that we see in

00:52:57.480 --> 00:52:59.500
 verses 11 to 14

00:52:59.500 --> 00:53:08.039
 first right immediately the 24 elders

00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:09.980
 and the four living creatures immediately

00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:11.920
 around the throne at the center God's

00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:13.599
 throne is at the center of this heavenly

00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.500
 gathering the king ruling above among his

00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:21.019
 people above his people and then so

00:53:21.019 --> 00:53:23.300
 immediately around the throne the four

00:53:23.300 --> 00:53:25.719
 living creatures and and the 24 elders

00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:27.480
 bow down in worship and they're singing

00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.099
 songs and they're cymbals and lyres and

00:53:30.099 --> 00:53:32.820
 and harps and the music is resounding and

00:53:32.820 --> 00:53:34.599
 that's already a pretty significant chorus

00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.340
 and then and then it says in verse 11

00:53:37.340 --> 00:53:39.360
 then I looked and I heard around the

00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:41.740
 throne and around the living creatures

00:53:41.740 --> 00:53:44.400
 and the elders the voice of many angels

00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:47.880
 numbering myriads of myriads and

00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:52.059
 thousands of thousands and myriad is

00:53:52.059 --> 00:53:54.760
 10,000 but it's a word that often

00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:56.719
 refers to an innumerable number of people

00:53:56.719 --> 00:53:59.859
 an innumerable throng and so imagine these

00:53:59.859 --> 00:54:01.679
 concentric circles there's a small

00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:03.459
 circle and then there's a concentric

00:54:03.459 --> 00:54:06.099
 circle around it as the elders the 24

00:54:06.099 --> 00:54:08.099
 elders are bowing down before Jesus in

00:54:08.099 --> 00:54:10.500
 worship and as the living creatures four

00:54:10.500 --> 00:54:12.219
 living creatures are worshiping him he

00:54:12.219 --> 00:54:14.759
 hears tens of thousands and thousands

00:54:14.759 --> 00:54:17.559
 upon thousands of angels raising their

00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:20.879
 voices and extolling the virtues of our

00:54:20.879 --> 00:54:25.959
 slain and risen Savior Jesus Christ and as

00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.019
 they're worshiping him that's not the end

00:54:28.019 --> 00:54:32.179
 there's more it says in verse 12 and 13

00:54:32.179 --> 00:54:35.639
 and I heard every creature in heaven and

00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:38.599
 on earth and under the earth and in the

00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:41.500
 sea and all that is in them say to him

00:54:41.500 --> 00:54:44.220
 who sits on the throne and to the lamb be

00:54:44.220 --> 00:54:48.119
 blessing and honor and glory and might

00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:54.759
 forever and ever all creation around the

00:54:54.759 --> 00:54:59.299
 angels now you can't even see them praising

00:54:59.299 --> 00:55:06.279
 God in one voice praising Jesus this is the

00:55:06.279 --> 00:55:09.440
 highest statement of the deity of Christ the

00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:12.099
 divinity of Christ that you can find in the

00:55:12.099 --> 00:55:17.980
 Bible he is praised side by side with the one

00:55:17.980 --> 00:55:21.179
 who is seated on the throne to him who sits

00:55:21.179 --> 00:55:23.860
 on the throne and to the lamb

00:55:23.860 --> 00:55:35.440
 we're gonna get to join that one day

00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:40.760
 and this our gathering is a foretaste of that

00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:48.860
 and we'll only want to be a part of that

00:55:48.860 --> 00:55:53.380
 throng if we know that Jesus is the lion and
