00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:25.500
 We're going back now, probably close to 200 years, C.H. Spurgeon was a prominent pastor in Great Britain.

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:27.000
!

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.060
 And in the 1800s, he would often preach. He was kind of the premier preacher there in Great Britain.

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:41.359
 And he would be invited to go to places, and he would preach in locations without amplification.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:46.400
 They didn't have the benefit of microphones and speakers.

00:00:46.399 --> 00:01:04.000
 And so he had to communicate with just the gifts that God had given to him to emphasize and to just punctuate the morning with his ability to articulate the scriptures.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:11.519
 Well, in one location where he was, he was invited to this massive agricultural hall.

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:18.319
 And as was his custom, he would kind of check out the acoustics of the place.

00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.219
 And in that particular agricultural hall, it needed some renovation.

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:35.239
 So up in the rafters was a guy who was working on the ceiling or the roof and trying to help make sure that the things were patched up and ready for the venue that would be taking place later on in the week.

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.599
 And he went and just said one phrase.

00:01:40.619 --> 00:01:46.799
 Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:59.939
 And the truth, spoken by John the Baptist, so overcame this worker that he left immediately and gave his life to the Lamb.

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:04.759
 The power of the Word of God.

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:11.599
 And the power of the Lamb to accomplish his work in the hearts of people.

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.239
 This morning, it is my desire.

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.479
 I'm just going to put all my cards on the table.

00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:27.560
 It is my desire this morning as we work through 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, the first 11 verses,

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.620
 that we become familiar with the Lamb.

00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:37.639
 And that through understanding the Lamb,

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.259
 that it will fill our hearts not only with worship,

00:02:42.399 --> 00:02:47.319
 but it will lead us to deeper praise of the Lamb.

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:50.539
 As I think about the Lamb,

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.679
 and I think about that phrase spoken by John the Baptist,

00:02:54.679 --> 00:02:56.679
 it has its roots in the past.

00:02:57.959 --> 00:03:01.399
 Going all the way back to the very beginnings,

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.620
 we see that Cain and Abel offered two different sacrifices.

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:10.280
 Cain's was unacceptable,

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:16.120
 and Abel's was acceptable because he offered a spotless lamb.

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:23.620
 It was the lamb that was accepted as a sacrifice to God.

00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:26.700
 Moving a few more chapters,

00:03:26.699 --> 00:03:29.719
 we find that Noah and his family,

00:03:29.859 --> 00:03:30.939
 having gotten off the ark,

00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.879
 and having experienced rescue through the ark,

00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:36.039
 through the flood,

00:03:36.459 --> 00:03:40.919
 now offer some sacrifices to God.

00:03:42.079 --> 00:03:46.759
 The sacrifice of a lamb that helped to remind them of the covenant promise of God.

00:03:46.859 --> 00:03:49.899
 This promise of God that he would never bring a flood.

00:03:50.019 --> 00:03:52.639
 This kind of destruction on the earth again.

00:03:52.739 --> 00:03:54.839
 And they commemorated that promise,

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.420
 and that recognition of who God was by sacrificing a lamb.

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.780
 Moving forward to the time of Abraham,

00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:10.520
 and Abraham having waited years and years and years for the promised son, Isaac,

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.480
 and then being told by God to offer Isaac as a sacrifice.

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:21.060
 And as he's about to plunge the dagger into his son,

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:23.000
 God says,

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:25.099
 I provided a lamb.

00:04:26.019 --> 00:04:27.860
 I provided a sacrifice.

00:04:28.779 --> 00:04:30.899
 A replacement for Isaac.

00:04:31.599 --> 00:04:33.120
 A way for redemption.

00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:34.959
 A way for escape.

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:36.939
 Through the lamb.

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.980
 Generations would come and go,

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:44.079
 and the children of Israel would find themselves in Egypt.

00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.399
 They would find themselves as slaves there in Egypt.

00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:53.519
 And as God unleashes the plagues on the Egyptians,

00:04:54.019 --> 00:05:01.120
 he comes to the end where there is going to be a firstborn son from every household that will be destroyed.

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:08.079
 Save those who put the blood of the lamb across their doorposts.

00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.659
 And beginning what we would come to know,

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.800
 and what would be commemorated as the Passover.

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:22.120
 This time of passing over and saving those who put their trust in the lamb.

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.939
 And the sacrificial system,

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:29.980
 which would require the price of a lamb,

00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:33.259
 who through the lamb you would be able to come,

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:35.139
 and you would make your way to Jesus,

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:36.600
 to God in heaven,

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:38.420
 and you would ask for forgiveness.

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:42.720
 Generations more would come and go,

00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.960
 and John the Baptist would commemorate the ministry of Jesus through that statement,

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.560
 Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.880
 And then Jesus' ministry would begin,

00:05:56.980 --> 00:06:02.540
 and for 30 years he would talk about the redemption that would come through the lamb.

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.680
 Peter would mention this in his little letter.

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.379
 He would talk about the precious blood of Christ,

00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:15.220
 the redemption that came through the lamb.

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.900
 Fast forward all the way to the end,

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:20.699
 into Revelation,

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:26.220
 and we see in Revelation chapter 5 a scene that is portrayed for us.

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.439
 The coming of the king,

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:33.060
 the coming of the one who would exact judgment on the earth,

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:38.000
 who would unleash the wrath of God's fury on those who were wicked.

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:43.980
 And the only one who was worthy to open the scroll was the lamb.

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.139
 The lamb from the beginning to end.

00:06:49.259 --> 00:06:53.060
 And so we come to our passage this morning in 1 Thessalonians.

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.959
 We pick up where we left off last week,

00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:03.079
 and we recognize that there is continuity throughout the scripture from start to finish.

00:07:04.799 --> 00:07:07.279
 And as we worked our way through the passage,

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:12.639
 I want to just touch on these things to catch any of you up who were not here last week,

00:07:12.719 --> 00:07:16.060
 so that you can kind of get in the flow of our study.

00:07:16.979 --> 00:07:19.839
 We opened up to 1 Thessalonians chapter 5,

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:21.819
 and we read that first phrase.

00:07:21.819 --> 00:07:26.000
 The first phrase beginning there in verse 1 now,

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.180
 concerning the times and the seasons, brothers.

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:36.839
 And we came to realize that Christmas is not just locked away in Bethlehem.

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:42.480
 It's not just locked away with the angels and the shepherds and Mary and Joseph

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.500
 making their way to this anonymous little town,

00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.519
 and the wise men that happen to show up,

00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.799
 and who knows exactly how much further down the road.

00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.060
 But Christmas is actually encompassing an event.

00:07:57.299 --> 00:08:00.159
 And we saw this last week.

00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:01.859
 It says,

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:04.959
 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers.

00:08:06.139 --> 00:08:10.339
 Paul uses two words to help connect us to some chronology.

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.199
 The first is the word chronos,

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:19.860
 which helps us recognize the transpiring of hours and days and calendar.

00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.819
 Whereas the next word we come to is the word seasons or kairos.

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:30.480
 It's the word that helps us summarize events or periods of time.

00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.759
 Things that fit together as one unit.

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.659
 And we're forced to ask ourselves the question,

00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:43.259
 Okay, so is this something that we are anticipating yet to come,

00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:45.980
 or is this something that has already happened?

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:49.480
 Well, we look at the language here,

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.500
 and we look at verse 2,

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:56.879
 and we try to get some clues as to whether or not this is a future event or a past event.

00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.820
 And Paul says,

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:05.460
 For you know and are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.759
 This all fits in the context of chapter 4 as well.

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:14.159
 And you back up to chapter 4, verse 13,

00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:15.259
 and you get some more clues.

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:16.580
 It says,

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.659
 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those things,

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.100
 about those who are asleep,

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.519
 that you may not grieve as others who have no hope.

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.659
 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again,

00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:30.519
 even so, through Jesus,

00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:35.559
 God will bring those who have fallen asleep.

00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:38.100
 So there's our answer, right?

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:41.240
 We're talking about future events.

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.240
 We're talking about things that are yet to come.

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.399
 But then I messed everything up

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:51.559
 as we were looking at these future events

00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.899
 in the anticipation of what the prophets thought was going to happen.

00:09:56.119 --> 00:10:00.319
 How they summarized these events that would take place

00:10:00.319 --> 00:10:02.099
 in terms of the Messiah's coming.

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:04.099
 And then the angels,

00:10:04.219 --> 00:10:09.119
 what was their understanding about the prophecies of the Old Testament?

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:12.439
 And how did the apostles see things?

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:16.319
 And we got to understand that the first coming,

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.560
 Christmas actually sets the context

00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:21.980
 for everything that is about to follow.

00:10:23.020 --> 00:10:25.260
 That what Jesus accomplished,

00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.379
 what the Lamb has done for His people,

00:10:30.020 --> 00:10:31.120
 for the people of Israel,

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:32.600
 and also for the nations,

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.860
 actually guarantees

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:38.440
 what we have to anticipate

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.080
 in terms of Jesus' future coming.

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:44.980
 It helps us to order

00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:46.580
 and recognize

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:49.900
 the things that Jesus did do

00:10:49.900 --> 00:10:53.259
 in accomplishing and fulfilling His promises

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:56.340
 and what we can expect to happen

00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:57.720
 well into the future.

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.759
 We saw that Christmas is connected

00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:02.500
 to future events.

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:05.640
 But then we moved on a little further.

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:10.439
 And we got to explore this loaded word

00:11:10.439 --> 00:11:12.019
 that comes next.

00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:12.360
 It says,

00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.080
 Now, concerning the times and the seasons,

00:11:16.019 --> 00:11:16.500
 brothers.

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.580
 We saw that that was an important word

00:11:19.580 --> 00:11:21.159
 for us to begin to understand.

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:24.319
 Because for us,

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:25.819
 living here in the 21st century,

00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:26.960
 we make some assumptions.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.639
 We begin to say,

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.200
 Well, that must be talking about Christians.

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.400
 And we understand

00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:38.580
 that there are certain truths,

00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:40.660
 and I want to walk us through

00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:43.100
 four truths about the Lamb

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:45.120
 and four truths about

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.940
 the promises of God

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:47.860
 in the Old Testament

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:51.140
 that help to order our understanding

00:11:51.140 --> 00:11:51.940
 in relationship

00:11:51.940 --> 00:11:53.820
 to the coming of the Lamb.

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.160
 The first truth that we find right here

00:11:57.160 --> 00:12:00.280
 is that Israel and the church

00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:02.900
 are unified but distinct.

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.960
 Israel and the church

00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.040
 are unified but distinct.

00:12:07.980 --> 00:12:10.259
 All of that is encapsulated

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:12.780
 in this one little word,

00:12:13.400 --> 00:12:14.100
 the word brothers.

00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.840
 Paul uses this word 20 times

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.080
 in this little letter.

00:12:22.180 --> 00:12:23.160
 He uses this word

00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:24.200
 for a couple of reasons.

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.100
 One is to help emphasize

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:28.740
 his relationship to them.

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.379
 They were special to him.

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:33.820
 He had an affection for them.

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:36.159
 It just explodes

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.399
 out of the pages

00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:38.700
 of 1 Thessalonians.

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:40.220
 Paul's interest

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:42.559
 and his desire

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.580
 for these people.

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.600
 And so he calls them brothers

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.840
 time and time and time again.

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:52.000
 This little letter

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:53.720
 uses the word brothers

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:54.919
 more times

00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.179
 or concentrated more times

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.919
 than any other New Testament book.

00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.719
 because Paul wants to stress

00:13:01.719 --> 00:13:02.879
 his relationship

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.039
 to these people.

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.259
 But he also wants

00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:07.539
 to help emphasize

00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:08.939
 their relationship

00:13:08.939 --> 00:13:10.079
 to one another.

00:13:10.939 --> 00:13:12.439
 He wants them to recognize

00:13:12.439 --> 00:13:13.360
 that although

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:14.919
 they may come

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.059
 from different backgrounds,

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:18.159
 that they are

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.559
 in actuality

00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:20.439
 united

00:13:20.439 --> 00:13:22.099
 because of the work

00:13:22.099 --> 00:13:23.439
 of Christ

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:24.539
 in their life.

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:26.879
 although they are

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.719
 distinct as people,

00:13:28.839 --> 00:13:29.599
 their heritage

00:13:29.599 --> 00:13:30.679
 may be different.

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.319
 They are unified

00:13:32.319 --> 00:13:33.259
 by the working

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:34.319
 of Christ

00:13:34.319 --> 00:13:35.120
 in their life

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.599
 to make them part

00:13:36.599 --> 00:13:37.379
 of one

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:39.059
 unified body.

00:13:40.819 --> 00:13:42.120
 Paul wants them

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:43.000
 to recognize

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.799
 especially those

00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:45.819
 who are Jewish

00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:47.599
 to understand

00:13:47.599 --> 00:13:48.519
 that although

00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.019
 God has made them

00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:50.699
 distinct

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:52.840
 through Christ

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:53.700
 he has

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:55.259
 brought them

00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:55.780
 together.

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:57.900
 If you were to go

00:13:57.900 --> 00:13:59.360
 to Ephesians chapter 2

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.259
 and I would just

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.280
 let me just encourage you

00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:02.320
 turn with me

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.400
 to Ephesians chapter 2

00:14:03.400 --> 00:14:04.320
 we can see this

00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:05.879
 for ourselves.

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.940
 Ephesians chapter 2

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:11.100
 beginning

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:13.320
 in verse 11.

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:15.360
 We'll begin to understand

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.540
 why the Jews

00:14:16.540 --> 00:14:17.759
 were so

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.900
 interested

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:19.860
 in the heritage

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.720
 that they had

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.559
 through Abraham.

00:14:24.699 --> 00:14:25.819
 Here's what it says.

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:27.379
 Therefore

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:29.299
 remember that

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:30.379
 at one time

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.919
 you Gentiles

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.519
 in the flesh

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.120
 called the uncircumcision

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.500
 by what is called

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.399
 the circumcision

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.620
 which is made

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:39.179
 in the flesh

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:39.919
 by hands.

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:41.379
 Remember that

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:42.519
 you were

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.419
 at that time

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:44.059
 separated

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:44.799
 from Christ

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.480
 alienated

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:46.899
 from the

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:47.379
 commonwealth

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.860
 of Israel

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:49.139
 and strangers

00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:50.879
 to the covenants

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.560
 of promise

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:53.500
 having no hope

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:55.060
 and without God

00:14:55.060 --> 00:14:56.720
 in the world.

00:14:59.659 --> 00:15:00.919
 So if you're a Jew

00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.279
 and you're part

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:03.720
 of Abraham

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.899
 what is your thought?

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.399
 You're thinking

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:07.639
 hey

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.740
 God has blessed me.

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:10.840
 Hey

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.460
 I get to enjoy

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:13.159
 God's favor.

00:15:14.139 --> 00:15:14.360
 Hey

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:14.860
 I'm not

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.680
 one of those

00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:16.180
 people

00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:17.279
 one of those

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:17.879
 Jews

00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:18.740
 or one of those

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:19.539
 Gentiles

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:21.379
 who as

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:22.320
 Paul

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.460
 describes it

00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:23.860
 well

00:15:23.860 --> 00:15:25.680
 have a lot

00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:26.060
 of strikes

00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:26.620
 against them.

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:29.539
 They are

00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:30.180
 alienated

00:15:30.180 --> 00:15:31.039
 from Israel.

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:32.700
 They're

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:33.220
 strangers

00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:34.080
 from the

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:34.600
 covenants.

00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:36.000
 They have

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:36.560
 no hope

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:37.899
 and they are

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.860
 without God.

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:41.779
 so in

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:43.259
 one sense

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:43.740
 of the word

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:44.139
 they were

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:44.500
 right.

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:46.940
 Everything

00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:47.860
 that they had

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:48.200
 in their

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:48.940
 Jewishness

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:49.940
 they got

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:50.580
 to enjoy

00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:51.259
 because God

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:51.680
 had made

00:15:51.680 --> 00:15:52.279
 them a covenant

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:52.680
 people.

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.379
 But those

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:54.620
 who were

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.159
 outside

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.180
 of the covenant

00:15:56.180 --> 00:15:57.000
 of promise

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:58.560
 were not able

00:15:58.560 --> 00:15:59.180
 to enjoy

00:15:59.180 --> 00:15:59.800
 the blessing

00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:00.820
 of being

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.419
 called the

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:01.759
 people

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.419
 of God.

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:03.860
 So there's

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:04.340
 no wonder

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:04.820
 why

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:05.580
 when Paul

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:06.259
 begins to

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:06.740
 share the

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:07.220
 gospel

00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:08.540
 all over

00:16:08.540 --> 00:16:10.000
 Asia

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:11.100
 and Macedonia

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:13.040
 the Jews

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:13.780
 initially

00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:15.420
 received

00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:16.340
 the gospel

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.680
 with great

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:18.420
 zeal

00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:19.100
 and interest.

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:20.800
 Wow

00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:21.360
 the Messiah

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.820
 has come

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:22.160
 look what

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:22.399
 he has

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:22.800
 accomplished

00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:23.300
 for me.

00:16:24.420 --> 00:16:25.280
 But once

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:26.120
 the Gentiles

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.180
 began to

00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:28.300
 embrace

00:16:28.300 --> 00:16:28.940
 the gospel

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:29.800
 for themselves

00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:31.160
 now the

00:16:31.160 --> 00:16:31.540
 Jews

00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:33.259
 became jealous

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:34.500
 and because

00:16:34.500 --> 00:16:34.879
 of their

00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:35.379
 jealousy

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:37.159
 they expelled

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:37.620
 Paul

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:37.960
 and they

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.399
 came against

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:39.700
 Paul

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:40.299
 and sought

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:40.799
 to push

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.360
 him out

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.019
 of every

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:42.419
 town

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:43.039
 in which

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:43.279
 he was

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:43.500
 sharing

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:43.980
 the gospel.

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.799
 Things

00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.639
 in Thessalonica

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.000
 were no

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.399
 different.

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:49.960
 The hostility

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.779
 of this

00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:51.419
 location

00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:52.740
 was intense.

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:53.720
 We've got

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.220
 to see it

00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:54.600
 over the

00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.259
 past several

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:56.039
 weeks

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:56.840
 of going

00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:57.200
 through

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.879
 this little

00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.120
 letter.

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:00.000
 And so

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.439
 it was

00:17:00.439 --> 00:17:01.059
 of utmost

00:17:01.059 --> 00:17:01.559
 important

00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:01.899
 for the

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.559
 apostle Paul

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.379
 to emphasize

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:04.940
 the unity

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:05.819
 that this

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:06.480
 church had

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:06.799
 with one

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.079
 another

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:07.460
 and it

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:07.720
 was a

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.039
 unity

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.399
 that they

00:17:08.399 --> 00:17:08.740
 had

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.319
 because

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.139
 of faith

00:17:11.139 --> 00:17:11.899
 in Jesus

00:17:11.899 --> 00:17:12.859
 Christ.

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.559
 Notice

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.519
 if you're

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:15.839
 still in

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:16.279
 Ephesians

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.379
 what Jesus

00:17:17.379 --> 00:17:18.740
 did to

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:19.279
 eliminate

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:20.240
 the division.

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.539
 Now in

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:23.319
 verse 14

00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.319
 of Ephesians

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:24.899
 chapter 2.

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:26.659
 For he

00:17:26.659 --> 00:17:27.359
 himself

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:27.980
 is our

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:28.440
 peace

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.440
 who has

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:30.059
 made us

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:30.779
 both one

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.099
 and has

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:31.440
 broken

00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:31.960
 down

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.460
 in his

00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:32.920
 flesh

00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:34.000
 the dividing

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.559
 wall of

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.180
 hostility

00:17:35.180 --> 00:17:36.839
 by abolishing

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.339
 the law

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:38.139
 of commandments

00:17:38.139 --> 00:17:39.180
 expressed in

00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:39.700
 ordinances

00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:40.519
 that he

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.180
 might create

00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:41.839
 in himself

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.139
 one new

00:17:43.139 --> 00:17:43.759
 man

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.639
 in place

00:17:44.639 --> 00:17:44.899
 of the

00:17:44.899 --> 00:17:45.240
 two

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.960
 thus

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.799
 making

00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:48.500
 peace.

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:50.240
 You see

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.579
 the lamb?

00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.079
 You see

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.559
 what Jesus

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:53.359
 accomplished?

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.099
 Jesus

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:56.220
 as the

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:57.000
 seed

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:58.140
 of Abraham

00:17:58.140 --> 00:17:58.960
 Jesus

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.799
 as the

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:00.279
 offspring

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.180
 of David

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.099
 comes

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:03.319
 and now

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:04.140
 breaks down

00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:04.920
 the hostility

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:05.500
 because he

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.140
 fulfilled

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.220
 the law

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:08.519
 and brings

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:09.200
 the two

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:09.779
 together

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:10.400
 in

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.299
 himself

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:13.240
 now

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:13.720
 creating

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.279
 one

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:15.119
 new man

00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:15.420
 from the

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:15.640
 two.

00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:16.960
 Although

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.079
 we recognize

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.839
 there is still

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.740
 distinctiveness

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.279
 that we looked

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:20.700
 at a bit

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.339
 last week

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:22.559
 in Romans

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.359
 chapter 11

00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:24.059
 Paul is

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:25.200
 coming against

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:25.779
 some of the

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.519
 natural

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.480
 questions

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:27.779
 that would

00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:28.200
 come up.

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.620
 He says

00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:29.779
 has God

00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:30.360
 neglected

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:31.000
 the promises

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.720
 to Israel?

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.700
 Certainly

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:33.180
 not.

00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:34.380
 And as we

00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:34.720
 see in

00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.160
 Revelation

00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.039
 God has

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.680
 a continuing

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:37.799
 and enduring

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.400
 desire

00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.059
 to uphold

00:18:41.059 --> 00:18:41.480
 and to

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:41.819
 favor

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:43.200
 the people

00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:43.740
 of Israel.

00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:45.340
 But those

00:18:45.340 --> 00:18:45.660
 of us

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:45.900
 who are

00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:46.420
 Gentiles

00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:47.019
 which probably

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:47.620
 includes

00:18:47.620 --> 00:18:48.240
 all of us

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.559
 in this

00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:48.840
 room

00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:49.960
 if you

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.480
 have come

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.059
 to faith

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:51.460
 in Jesus

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:51.960
 Christ

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.259
 you now

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:53.740
 get to

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:54.259
 enjoy

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.039
 the benefits

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.639
 of being

00:18:56.639 --> 00:18:57.220
 a son

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:58.659
 the benefits

00:18:58.659 --> 00:18:59.240
 of being

00:18:59.240 --> 00:18:59.839
 a daughter

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.839
 because

00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:01.779
 of faith

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.379
 in Jesus

00:19:02.379 --> 00:19:02.799
 Christ.

00:19:03.159 --> 00:19:03.740
 All of the

00:19:03.740 --> 00:19:04.220
 promises

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.119
 that God

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:05.599
 gave to

00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:06.039
 Abraham

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.039
 Isaac

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.220
 and Jacob

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:09.339
 and Moses

00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:10.559
 and David

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.379
 can be

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:12.119
 yours

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:13.680
 through faith

00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:14.220
 in Jesus

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:14.700
 Christ.

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:16.019
 We have

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:17.099
 been adopted

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.759
 into the

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:18.139
 family.

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:19.000
 We have

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.859
 been grafted

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:20.460
 into this

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:21.599
 amazing tree

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:22.180
 that Paul

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:23.159
 talks about

00:19:23.159 --> 00:19:24.519
 in the book

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.019
 of Romans.

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.680
 there is

00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:27.420
 now unity

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.599
 that God

00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.220
 has created

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:30.059
 because of

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.839
 Jesus Christ

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.480
 and his

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.059
 finished work

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:32.299
 on the

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:32.539
 cross

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:32.899
 because

00:19:32.899 --> 00:19:34.519
 of the

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:34.779
 lamb.

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:36.879
 We can

00:19:36.879 --> 00:19:37.639
 rejoice

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:38.579
 in the

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:38.940
 work

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.579
 of the

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:39.920
 lamb

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:40.779
 for us.

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.139
 Israel

00:19:42.139 --> 00:19:42.500
 and the

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:42.779
 church

00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:43.399
 are unified

00:19:43.399 --> 00:19:45.039
 but distinct.

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.940
 We turn

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:47.559
 then to

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:48.259
 the next

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:48.980
 few verses

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:50.559
 in 1

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.099
 Thessalonians

00:19:51.099 --> 00:19:51.759
 chapter 5.

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.440
 we look

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.900
 at Christmas

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.240
 in the

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:55.559
 future.

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.799
 We're

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.319
 evaluating

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:57.920
 this truth

00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:58.240
 about

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.700
 Israel

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.200
 and the

00:19:59.200 --> 00:19:59.420
 church

00:19:59.420 --> 00:19:59.640
 being

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:00.079
 distinct

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.640
 but unified

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.339
 and then

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:01.819
 we turn

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:02.299
 to this

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:02.599
 second

00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:03.000
 truth

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.720
 that we

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.180
 find in

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.660
 verses 2

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.000
 and 3.

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.720
 for you

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.279
 yourselves

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:07.880
 are fully

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:08.259
 aware

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:08.619
 that the

00:20:08.619 --> 00:20:09.079
 day of

00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:09.220
 the

00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:09.480
 Lord

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:09.700
 will

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:10.240
 come

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:11.240
 like a

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.559
 thief

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:11.859
 in the

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:12.180
 night

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:13.839
 while people

00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:14.500
 are saying

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:14.980
 there is

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:15.480
 peace and

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.039
 security

00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:17.480
 then sudden

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:17.980
 destruction

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.380
 will come

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:19.059
 upon them

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:20.359
 as labor

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:21.220
 pains come

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.259
 upon a

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:22.619
 pregnant

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:22.980
 woman

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.680
 and they

00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.680
 will not

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.460
 escape.

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:27.720
 the second

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:28.240
 truth is

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.980
 that God's

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.880
 wrath will

00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.440
 be poured

00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:31.380
 out on

00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:32.340
 unbelievers.

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:33.740
 Now where

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.019
 do you get

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.519
 that Andrew?

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:34.860
 Well

00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:38.100
 notice this

00:20:38.100 --> 00:20:39.100
 statement

00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:40.100
 given by

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:40.799
 the people

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.880
 who are

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.519
 looking around

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:42.819
 at the

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:43.440
 circumstances

00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.420
 and wondering

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:46.299
 what's about

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:46.799
 to happen.

00:20:47.819 --> 00:20:48.079
 What do

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.500
 they say?

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:50.160
 It says

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:50.779
 in verse 3

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.440
 while people

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.140
 are saying

00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:52.980
 there is

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.640
 peace

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.880
 and security

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:56.300
 then

00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:56.660
 sudden

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:57.080
 destruction

00:20:57.080 --> 00:20:57.500
 will come.

00:20:58.600 --> 00:20:59.080
 Now isn't

00:20:59.080 --> 00:20:59.340
 that an

00:20:59.340 --> 00:20:59.600
 interesting

00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:00.020
 question?

00:21:03.120 --> 00:21:03.700
 You're

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:04.200
 looking around

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.860
 they seem

00:21:06.860 --> 00:21:07.260
 to look at

00:21:07.260 --> 00:21:07.700
 the world

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.600
 now by

00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:09.060
 the way

00:21:09.060 --> 00:21:09.900
 they're not

00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:10.320
 looking at

00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:10.660
 the world

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:11.260
 and saying

00:21:11.260 --> 00:21:12.280
 oh there's

00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:13.020
 no conflict

00:21:13.020 --> 00:21:14.180
 oh there's

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:14.900
 no war

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:16.440
 because as

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:17.260
 sin continues

00:21:17.260 --> 00:21:18.040
 to increase

00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:18.960
 those things

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.400
 will also

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:20.000
 increase.

00:21:20.780 --> 00:21:20.980
 It has

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:21.520
 nothing to do

00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:22.300
 with what's

00:21:22.300 --> 00:21:23.020
 happening around

00:21:23.020 --> 00:21:23.400
 them.

00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:24.340
 It has

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:25.139
 everything to

00:21:25.139 --> 00:21:26.259
 do with

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:26.959
 an anticipation

00:21:26.959 --> 00:21:28.399
 of judgment

00:21:28.399 --> 00:21:29.139
 that has

00:21:29.139 --> 00:21:29.599
 not yet

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:29.980
 come.

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.139
 That's why

00:21:32.139 --> 00:21:32.819
 they say

00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:34.039
 hey

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.279
 peace and

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:35.899
 security

00:21:35.899 --> 00:21:37.199
 we're doing

00:21:37.199 --> 00:21:38.039
 really good

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.799
 look what

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.199
 we're getting

00:21:39.199 --> 00:21:40.000
 away with

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.720
 things are

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:42.220
 going pretty

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:42.939
 well for us

00:21:42.939 --> 00:21:43.619
 God doesn't

00:21:43.619 --> 00:21:44.240
 really care

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.000
 and maybe

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.059
 God doesn't

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.740
 actually

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.639
 exist.

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.000
 very interesting

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.940
 observation

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.000
 by those

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:55.300
 who are in

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:55.800
 the world

00:21:55.800 --> 00:21:57.200
 who say

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.860
 hey

00:21:57.860 --> 00:21:59.040
 there's

00:21:59.040 --> 00:21:59.520
 peace and

00:21:59.520 --> 00:22:00.120
 security in

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.420
 the world

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:02.300
 which

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:03.259
 points

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:04.200
 to the

00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.740
 fact

00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:05.520
 that

00:22:05.520 --> 00:22:06.380
 unbelievers

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:07.480
 expect

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.480
 judgment

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.320
 to come

00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:11.700
 they expect

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:12.280
 judgment to

00:22:12.280 --> 00:22:12.860
 come because

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.240
 it is

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.140
 hardwired

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:15.800
 into their

00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:16.620
 very conscience

00:22:16.620 --> 00:22:18.320
 it's hardwired

00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:19.180
 into every

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:20.160
 individual

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:21.400
 that walks

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.640
 this earth

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.520
 because God

00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:25.480
 has wired

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:26.020
 it into

00:22:26.020 --> 00:22:26.360
 them

00:22:26.360 --> 00:22:28.680
 if you look

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.360
 at Romans

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.120
 chapter 2

00:22:30.120 --> 00:22:33.200
 verse 14

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.620
 and 16

00:22:33.620 --> 00:22:34.060
 I may have

00:22:34.060 --> 00:22:34.720
 put this

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.940
 on a slide

00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:36.560
 maybe not

00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:37.720
 let me read

00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:38.300
 it for you

00:22:38.300 --> 00:22:39.100
 here we go

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:40.419
 for when

00:22:40.419 --> 00:22:41.659
 the Gentiles

00:22:41.659 --> 00:22:42.919
 who do not

00:22:42.919 --> 00:22:43.740
 have the law

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.659
 by nature

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:45.419
 do what the

00:22:45.419 --> 00:22:46.139
 law requires

00:22:46.139 --> 00:22:47.519
 they show

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.039
 that the work

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.459
 of the law

00:22:48.459 --> 00:22:48.980
 is written

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:49.839
 on their

00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:50.359
 hearts

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:51.819
 while their

00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:52.219
 conscience

00:22:52.219 --> 00:22:52.939
 also bears

00:22:52.939 --> 00:22:53.399
 witness

00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:54.019
 and their

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.579
 conflicting

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:55.039
 thoughts

00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.439
 accuse

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:55.980
 or even

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:56.619
 excuse

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:57.079
 them

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:58.299
 on that

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:58.679
 day

00:22:58.679 --> 00:22:59.439
 when according

00:22:59.439 --> 00:22:59.839
 to my

00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:00.199
 gospel

00:23:00.199 --> 00:23:01.079
 God judges

00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.939
 the secrets

00:23:01.939 --> 00:23:02.919
 of men

00:23:02.919 --> 00:23:04.079
 by Jesus

00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:04.899
 Christ

00:23:04.899 --> 00:23:06.839
 one of the

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.319
 greatest

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:08.199
 resources

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:09.059
 that we

00:23:09.059 --> 00:23:09.480
 have

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.900
 in our

00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:10.519
 gospel

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.319
 testimony

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:12.360
 is that

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:12.980
 hired

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.480
 wired

00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:13.799
 into

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.299
 every

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:14.740
 person

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:14.940
 who

00:23:14.940 --> 00:23:15.340
 walks

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:15.620
 this

00:23:15.620 --> 00:23:16.059
 earth

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:16.700
 is

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.120
 a

00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:17.840
 recognition

00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:18.880
 however

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.700
 broken

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.519
 however

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:21.880
 insufficient

00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:22.920
 there is

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:23.440
 still

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.340
 a sense

00:23:24.340 --> 00:23:25.240
 of morality

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.980
 there is

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.680
 a broken

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.740
 moral compass

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:30.039
 in every

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:30.759
 individual

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.840
 that God

00:23:31.840 --> 00:23:32.200
 has put

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.440
 there

00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:33.279
 and that's

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.860
 why

00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:34.960
 people

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.100
 in the

00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:36.620
 last days

00:23:36.620 --> 00:23:37.140
 are asking

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:37.559
 themselves

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:38.100
 this question

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:39.579
 where is

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:39.919
 God

00:23:39.919 --> 00:23:41.500
 I guess

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:42.799
 I guess

00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:43.279
 I can just

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.639
 do what

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:43.919
 I want

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.240
 to do

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:44.699
 because

00:23:44.699 --> 00:23:45.480
 judgment

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:45.919
 hasn't

00:23:45.919 --> 00:23:46.179
 come

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.519
 yet

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:50.419
 God's

00:23:50.419 --> 00:23:50.799
 wrath

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.699
 will be

00:23:51.699 --> 00:23:52.240
 poured out

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.619
 on

00:23:52.619 --> 00:23:53.240
 unbelievers

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.879
 when is

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:56.299
 this going

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:56.759
 to happen

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:58.259
 when will

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:59.480
 his wrath

00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:00.240
 be poured

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:00.559
 out

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:01.659
 will it

00:24:01.659 --> 00:24:02.019
 happen

00:24:02.019 --> 00:24:02.899
 in eternity

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:03.579
 in hell

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:04.779
 or is

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.399
 there some

00:24:05.399 --> 00:24:06.500
 aspect of

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:06.980
 his wrath

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.220
 that is

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:07.380
 going to

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:07.779
 be poured

00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:08.120
 out

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:09.200
 here

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:10.940
 in this

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.240
 day and

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:11.539
 age

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:14.180
 I want

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.380
 to help

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:15.980
 us understand

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:17.299
 that people

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.420
 understand that

00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:18.960
 there is a

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:20.000
 demand for

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.620
 justice

00:24:20.620 --> 00:24:22.279
 they recognize

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:23.160
 that God

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.339
 will exact

00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:24.940
 judgment

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:25.720
 on them

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:27.079
 there is a

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.480
 demand

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.420
 for justice

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.120
 that they

00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:30.819
 recognize

00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:32.579
 but where is

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:32.980
 the place

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:33.579
 of justice

00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:34.960
 where will

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:35.500
 it happen

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:37.079
 will it be

00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:37.399
 something

00:24:37.399 --> 00:24:37.859
 visible

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.419
 or will

00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:38.919
 it be

00:24:38.919 --> 00:24:39.259
 something

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:40.379
 that we

00:24:40.379 --> 00:24:40.960
 don't get

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.359
 to see

00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:43.619
 what to see

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:43.919
 is the

00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:44.720
 testimony of

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.039
 scripture

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.639
 is there

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.240
 is a

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.679
 future

00:24:46.679 --> 00:24:47.199
 element

00:24:47.199 --> 00:24:47.819
 an eternal

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:48.639
 element

00:24:48.639 --> 00:24:49.259
 of judgment

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:50.819
 because of

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:51.220
 sin

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:52.099
 that God

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:53.000
 will sentence

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.879
 us to hell

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.439
 apart from

00:24:54.439 --> 00:24:54.699
 him

00:24:54.699 --> 00:24:55.299
 forever

00:24:55.299 --> 00:24:56.740
 but there

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:57.480
 is also

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.159
 coming a

00:24:58.159 --> 00:24:58.439
 day

00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.340
 when judgment

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:01.120
 will be poured

00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:01.960
 out on

00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:02.980
 the wicked

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:03.720
 here

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:04.779
 on the

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.100
 earth

00:25:05.100 --> 00:25:05.559
 that has

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:06.059
 been the

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.840
 testimony of

00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:07.100
 God

00:25:07.100 --> 00:25:07.860
 since the

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:08.539
 very beginning

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:10.000
 look at

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.820
 Adam and

00:25:10.820 --> 00:25:11.180
 Eve

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:12.200
 expelled

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:12.960
 from

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.759
 the garden

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.480
 you look at

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.039
 Noah and

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:16.539
 the flood

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.019
 that came

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.580
 on the

00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:17.920
 earth

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:18.299
 and

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:19.320
 extinguished

00:25:19.320 --> 00:25:20.420
 all

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:20.980
 living

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:21.600
 creatures

00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:23.200
 you look at

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:23.680
 Sodom and

00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:24.059
 Gomorrah

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:24.720
 and the fire

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:25.279
 and brimstone

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:25.660
 that God

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.360
 brought on

00:25:26.360 --> 00:25:26.820
 the earth

00:25:26.820 --> 00:25:27.580
 to judge

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.079
 the people

00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:28.519
 living in

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:29.039
 those cities

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.960
 you look at

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.599
 those from

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:32.500
 Pharaoh's army

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.679
 who pursued

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:34.960
 the Israelites

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.740
 across the

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.299
 Red Sea

00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:38.960
 all drowned

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.839
 in the

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:40.339
 Red Sea

00:25:40.339 --> 00:25:41.980
 God gives

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.699
 deliverance

00:25:42.699 --> 00:25:43.059
 to his

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.399
 people

00:25:43.399 --> 00:25:45.419
 the place

00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:46.059
 of God's

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.379
 vengeance

00:25:46.379 --> 00:25:47.639
 is consistently

00:25:47.639 --> 00:25:48.960
 visible

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:49.939
 earthly

00:25:49.939 --> 00:25:51.319
 and terrible

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:52.960
 and as we

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.299
 look at the

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.779
 Old Testament

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.319
 we see

00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:55.059
 the very

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:55.899
 same things

00:25:55.899 --> 00:25:56.879
 and reiterated

00:25:56.879 --> 00:25:57.419
 again by

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:58.160
 Jesus Christ

00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:59.039
 and helping

00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.460
 to set

00:25:59.460 --> 00:26:00.259
 the expectation

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.640
 for what

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:01.180
 that future

00:26:01.180 --> 00:26:01.980
 day will

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:03.060
 look like

00:26:03.060 --> 00:26:04.100
 and it

00:26:04.100 --> 00:26:05.220
 always involves

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:06.380
 a physical

00:26:06.380 --> 00:26:07.279
 component

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:07.960
 an earthly

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:09.039
 component

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:12.140
 but why

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.640
 does there

00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.480
 seem to be

00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:14.440
 a delay

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:17.700
 why is there

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.400
 a delay

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.720
 in justice

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.600
 why is God

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:22.560
 prolonged

00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:23.640
 and pushed

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.360
 out

00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:25.259
 this day

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:26.019
 of wrath

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:28.099
 it is

00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:28.539
 coming

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.680
 and I want

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.000
 to point

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.339
 us to

00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:30.680
 a couple

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.059
 of verses

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.599
 in 2nd

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:31.819
 Peter

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:32.639
 that help

00:26:32.639 --> 00:26:32.960
 us to

00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:33.859
 recognize

00:26:33.859 --> 00:26:35.019
 a similar

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.559
 passage

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:36.099
 that helps

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:37.180
 us see

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:37.900
 and draw

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:38.379
 out some

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:38.720
 of the same

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.180
 points

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:40.619
 2nd Peter

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:41.180
 chapter 3

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:41.779
 verses 3

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:42.139
 and 4

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:42.359
 says

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.940
 know this

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:44.039
 first of all

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:44.839
 that scoffers

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:45.359
 will come

00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:46.279
 in the last

00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:46.779
 days with

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.400
 scoffing

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:48.400
 following their

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:48.859
 own sinful

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:49.319
 desires

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.779
 they will

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.279
 say

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:51.940
 get this

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:52.660
 where

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:53.900
 is the

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.259
 promise

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:54.580
 of his

00:26:54.580 --> 00:26:54.940
 coming

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:56.200
 forever

00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:56.820
 since the

00:26:56.820 --> 00:26:57.400
 fathers fell

00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:57.720
 asleep

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:58.420
 all things

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:59.880
 are continuing

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.120
 as they were

00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:01.980
 from the beginning

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.039
 of creation

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:04.259
 you see it there

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:05.759
 peace and safety

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:07.820
 God's not coming

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.600
 after all

00:27:08.600 --> 00:27:10.440
 everything is fine

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.019
 there's no

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.559
 judgment

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.980
 you tell me

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.700
 that God

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.200
 is a God

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:14.860
 of justice

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:15.840
 and he's a God

00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:16.460
 of sovereignty

00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.420
 but where is he

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:18.940
 that's what the

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:19.740
 scoffers will say

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:21.740
 but moving on

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:23.460
 the Lord is not

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.620
 slow to fulfill

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:25.180
 his promise

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:25.799
 as some

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:27.099
 count slowness

00:27:27.099 --> 00:27:28.700
 but is patient

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:29.579
 towards you

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.740
 not wishing

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:31.700
 that any

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:32.620
 should perish

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:34.059
 but that all

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:35.000
 should reach

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.880
 repentance

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.559
 the reason

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:38.980
 for delay

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:40.220
 is because

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:40.799
 God

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.579
 desires

00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:42.420
 salvation

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:46.759
 he prolongs

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.240
 judgment

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.920
 because

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.859
 of a heart

00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:49.480
 of mercy

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:51.740
 he prolongs

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.680
 justice

00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:53.660
 that he will

00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:55.160
 have on

00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.120
 this earth

00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:57.099
 because of

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:57.620
 a desire

00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:58.339
 to lead

00:27:58.339 --> 00:27:59.420
 us

00:27:59.420 --> 00:28:00.099
 into

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:00.700
 repentance

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:03.140
 but

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.620
 the day

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:04.019
 will come

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:05.420
 the day

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:06.000
 of the Lord

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.599
 will come

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:07.539
 like a thief

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:07.980
 that should

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.539
 sound very

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.180
 familiar

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.980
 taken

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:11.559
 right out

00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:12.319
 of 1 Thessalonians

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:12.980
 chapter 5

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:14.259
 and then

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:14.720
 the heavens

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.460
 will pass away

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:16.079
 with a roar

00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:17.000
 and the heavenly

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.860
 bodies will be

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.460
 burned up

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:19.180
 and dissolved

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:20.420
 and the earth

00:28:20.420 --> 00:28:21.220
 and the works

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:21.940
 that are done

00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:22.539
 on it

00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:23.240
 will be

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:24.060
 exposed

00:28:24.060 --> 00:28:26.299
 this earthly

00:28:26.299 --> 00:28:27.240
 component

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:28.460
 that is coming

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:28.980
 to bear

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.680
 on this

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:31.840
 world

00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:33.440
 that God

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.880
 will

00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:34.900
 judge

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:35.720
 the earth

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:38.720
 and it is

00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:39.039
 coming

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:39.640
 like a thief

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:40.060
 in the night

00:28:40.060 --> 00:28:42.180
 a couple

00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:42.540
 of days

00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:42.900
 ago

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.480
 maybe you've

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:43.800
 had this

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:44.280
 experience

00:28:44.280 --> 00:28:44.840
 maybe not

00:28:44.840 --> 00:28:46.160
 a couple

00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.460
 of days

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:46.720
 ago

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.100
 I was

00:28:47.100 --> 00:28:47.640
 at the

00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:49.240
 gas station

00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:49.800
 filling up

00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:51.200
 I pulled

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.160
 into the slot

00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.320
 and the gas

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:55.220
 price was

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:56.000
 $1.29

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.279
 $2.29

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:57.039
 it's like

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:57.299
 okay

00:28:57.299 --> 00:28:57.640
 well

00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:58.279
 it's not

00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:58.579
 as good

00:28:58.579 --> 00:28:58.880
 as a few

00:28:58.880 --> 00:28:59.420
 days ago

00:28:59.420 --> 00:28:59.940
 but hey

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.519
 I can

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:01.079
 or maybe

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:01.220
 it was

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:01.680
 $2.29

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:03.099
 you guys

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:03.359
 are saying

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.079
 wow

00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.440
 where is

00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:07.119
 that gas

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:07.480
 station

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:07.799
 I want

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.180
 to find

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.460
 that

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:08.859
 yes

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:10.720
 it was

00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:11.339
 $2.29

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:12.220
 I don't

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.400
 want to

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:12.680
 get your

00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:13.099
 hopes up

00:29:13.099 --> 00:29:13.619
 too much

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:15.119
 okay

00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.839
 so

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.519
 $2.29

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:17.880
 I'm

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:18.839
 filling up

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.480
 and then

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:19.839
 I look

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:20.119
 at the

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:20.539
 sign

00:29:20.539 --> 00:29:21.039
 again

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.319
 and

00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:22.259
 it says

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:23.140
 $2.16

00:29:23.140 --> 00:29:25.340
 I'm like

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:26.340
 $2.29

00:29:26.340 --> 00:29:28.160
 which price

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.020
 did I pay

00:29:29.020 --> 00:29:30.840
 I looked

00:29:30.840 --> 00:29:31.060
 at the

00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:31.460
 receipt

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:32.240
 I paid

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:33.120
 $2.29

00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:34.740
 and so

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.320
 I walked

00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:36.240
 into the

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.540
 store

00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:36.940
 and said

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.380
 hey

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:39.300
 $2.29

00:29:39.300 --> 00:29:40.240
 it says

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.880
 $2.16

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:41.400
 out there

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.940
 right now

00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.440
 and it

00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:42.720
 didn't

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.100
 switch

00:29:43.100 --> 00:29:43.560
 for me

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:44.120
 when I

00:29:44.120 --> 00:29:44.360
 was in

00:29:44.360 --> 00:29:44.500
 the

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:44.680
 middle

00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:44.860
 of

00:29:44.860 --> 00:29:45.140
 pumping

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.820
 he said

00:29:45.820 --> 00:29:46.040
 I'm

00:29:46.040 --> 00:29:46.340
 sorry

00:29:46.340 --> 00:29:51.740
 I missed

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.060
 out

00:29:52.060 --> 00:29:53.020
 on

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:53.500
 $2.16

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.379
 I thought

00:29:54.379 --> 00:29:54.980
 at least

00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:56.039
 $1.50

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:56.960
 that's

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:57.259
 nothing

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.779
 he can

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:58.000
 just

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.259
 hand

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.400
 that

00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:58.599
 over

00:29:58.599 --> 00:29:58.900
 to me

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.119
 and I

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.279
 feel

00:29:59.279 --> 00:29:59.460
 like

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.660
 I

00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.319
 got

00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:00.779
 something

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:03.299
 the point

00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:03.779
 is this

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:04.099
 how does

00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:04.240
 this

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:04.619
 relate

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:10.379
 Jesus

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.940
 is coming

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.279
 like a

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:11.559
 thief in

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:11.859
 the night

00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:15.099
 and you

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:16.819
 may not

00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:17.720
 be ready

00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.859
 and if

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:19.200
 you

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.839
 aren't

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.220
 ready

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:20.759
 there is

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:20.960
 no

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:21.359
 refund

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.700
 there is

00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:22.920
 no

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:23.440
 refund

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:23.680
 for

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.220
 those

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.840
 who

00:30:24.840 --> 00:30:25.340
 miss

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:26.340
 the

00:30:26.340 --> 00:30:26.660
 coming

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:26.840
 of

00:30:26.840 --> 00:30:26.940
 the

00:30:26.940 --> 00:30:27.059
 day

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:27.160
 of

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:27.240
 the

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.420
 Lord

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:29.519
 that's

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:29.840
 why

00:30:29.840 --> 00:30:31.440
 Paul

00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:31.759
 moves

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.039
 on

00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:32.180
 through

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.360
 this

00:30:32.360 --> 00:30:32.920
 passage

00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:33.900
 he's

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:34.340
 speaking

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:34.600
 to

00:30:34.600 --> 00:30:35.160
 those

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:35.799
 who are

00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:36.140
 living

00:30:36.140 --> 00:30:36.400
 in the

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:36.680
 light

00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:36.940
 who've

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.080
 been

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:37.740
 called

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.539
 by the

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:38.799
 lamb

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:39.039
 into

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:39.580
 salvation

00:30:39.580 --> 00:30:41.140
 be

00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:41.580

 don't

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:43.460
 miss

00:30:43.460 --> 00:30:43.819
 it

00:30:43.819 --> 00:30:45.420
 anticipate

00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:46.860
 the

00:30:46.860 --> 00:30:47.160
 coming

00:32:49.899 --> 00:32:50.200
 to be

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:50.819
 ready

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.259
 for

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.879
 when

00:32:51.879 --> 00:32:52.059
 he

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:52.639
 comes

00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:53.119
 and

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.779
 the

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.339
 promise

00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:56.039
 of what

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:56.440
 Christ

00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:56.599
 has

00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.139
 accomplished

00:32:57.139 --> 00:32:57.500
 for

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:57.680
 this

00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:58.099
 people

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:59.000
 will

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.379
 set

00:32:59.379 --> 00:32:59.579
 for

00:32:59.579 --> 00:32:59.799
 them

00:32:59.799 --> 00:32:59.960
 an

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:00.420
 expectation

00:33:00.420 --> 00:33:00.940
 that's

00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:01.039
 what

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:01.180
 we

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:01.519
 see

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:02.119
 in

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:02.379
 verses

00:33:02.379 --> 00:33:03.099
 4

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.639
 and

00:33:03.639 --> 00:33:04.059
 5

00:33:04.059 --> 00:33:04.579
 and

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:05.019
 6

00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:09.539
 several

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:09.779
 years

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:10.059
 ago

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.460
 when

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:11.980
 Sarah

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.319
 and I

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:12.680
 got

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:13.099
 married

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:14.559
 and I

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:14.720
 don't

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:15.059
 recommend

00:33:15.059 --> 00:33:15.460
 this

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:15.779
 by the

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:16.000
 way

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.279
 but

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:16.480
 here's

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:16.599
 what

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:16.720
 I

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.000
 did

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.619
 on

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:18.779
 our

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:19.139
 honeymoon

00:33:19.139 --> 00:33:19.500
 I

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:19.720
 put

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.180
 together

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:21.700
 a

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:21.980
 list

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.200
 of

00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:22.480
 letters

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.660
 I

00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:22.799
 didn't

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:22.980
 even

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.240
 tell

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:23.460
 her

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:23.700
 where

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:23.940
 we

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:25.019
 were

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:25.460
 going

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:26.160
 I

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:26.920
 just

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:27.099
 said

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:27.559
 pack

00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:27.900
 with

00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:28.220
 certain

00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:28.759
 things

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.779
 and

00:33:29.779 --> 00:33:29.960
 kind

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.039
 of

00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:30.240
 gave

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.400
 her

00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:30.579
 a

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:30.879
 list

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.879
 she

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.059
 didn't

00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:32.339
 know

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.660
 what

00:33:32.660 --> 00:33:32.839
 was

00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.000
 going

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.099
 to

00:33:33.099 --> 00:33:33.400
 happen

00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:33.400


00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:33.599


00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:33.859
 I

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.000
 had

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.180
 a

00:33:34.180 --> 00:33:34.400
 letter

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:34.779
 set

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:35.160
 aside

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:35.359
 for

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:35.639
 every

00:33:35.639 --> 00:33:35.899
 day

00:33:35.899 --> 00:33:37.180
 and

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.539
 on

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:37.779
 that

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:38.160
 letter

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.799
 was

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.119
 kind

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.259
 of

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.480
 the

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:40.440
 location

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:40.879
 and

00:33:40.879 --> 00:33:41.119
 some

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:41.220
 of

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.319
 the

00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:41.839
 activities

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.779
 that

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:42.960
 we

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.160
 could

00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:43.519
 do

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.899
 in

00:33:43.899 --> 00:33:44.359
 each

00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:44.460
 of

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:44.619
 those

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:45.000
 places

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.660
 and

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:46.920
 so

00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:47.200
 she

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:47.480
 had

00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:47.720
 kind

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:47.819
 of

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:48.500
 an

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.079
 expectation

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:49.480
 of

00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:49.799
 hey

00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:50.079
 there's

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:50.279
 certain

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.519
 number

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:50.639
 of

00:33:50.639 --> 00:33:50.899
 letters

00:33:50.899 --> 00:33:51.359
 certain

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:51.619
 number

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:51.779
 of

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:52.099
 days

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:52.599
 I

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.859
 guess

00:33:52.859 --> 00:33:53.359
 there's

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.500
 a

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:54.920
 promise

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:55.480
 at least

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.839
 of

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.839
 hope

00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.079
 for

00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:57.259
 what

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:57.420
 is

00:33:57.420 --> 00:33:57.700
 to

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:58.099
 come

00:33:58.099 --> 00:33:59.519
 and

00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:00.039
 hopefully

00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.339
 based

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.700
 upon

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:02.119
 knowing

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:02.420
 me

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:03.180
 and

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:04.399
 deciding

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:04.800
 to marry

00:34:04.800 --> 00:34:05.060
 me

00:34:05.060 --> 00:34:05.440
 there was

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:05.700
 a

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.180
 confidence

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:07.040
 at least

00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:07.340
 in

00:34:07.340 --> 00:34:08.099
 my

00:34:08.099 --> 00:34:08.619
 character

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:09.280
 of being

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.579
 able to

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:09.780
 come

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:10.240
 through

00:34:10.240 --> 00:34:11.280
 with the

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.720
 promise

00:34:11.720 --> 00:34:12.260
 of a

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:12.619
 honeymoon

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:13.260
 and not

00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:13.619
 just

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.019
 we're going

00:34:14.019 --> 00:34:14.380
 to San

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:14.680
 Jose

00:34:14.680 --> 00:34:17.960
 in a

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:18.240
 similar

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:18.780
 fashion

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:19.400
 God

00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:20.160
 has given

00:34:20.160 --> 00:34:21.180
 promises

00:34:21.180 --> 00:34:22.860
 to us

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:23.940
 that are

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.599
 connected

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.920
 to promises

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:26.780
 given in

00:34:26.780 --> 00:34:27.420
 the past

00:34:27.420 --> 00:34:29.139
 and because

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:29.760
 of his

00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:30.519
 ability to

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.059
 accomplish

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:32.200
 and fulfill

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:32.619
 those

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:33.099
 promises

00:34:33.099 --> 00:34:33.799
 through

00:34:33.799 --> 00:34:34.219
 Jesus

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:34.719
 Christ

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.399
 we can

00:34:35.399 --> 00:34:35.980
 anticipate

00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:36.759
 that he

00:34:36.759 --> 00:34:37.319
 will come

00:34:37.319 --> 00:34:37.819
 clean

00:34:37.819 --> 00:34:38.519
 and come

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:38.899
 through

00:34:38.899 --> 00:34:39.899
 to fulfill

00:34:39.899 --> 00:34:40.399
 promises

00:34:40.399 --> 00:34:40.859
 for us

00:34:40.859 --> 00:34:41.039
 in the

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.319
 future

00:34:41.319 --> 00:34:43.699
 I think

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.039
 I have

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:45.399
 four promises

00:34:45.399 --> 00:34:45.739
 here

00:34:45.739 --> 00:34:46.159
 I want to

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:46.980
 just punch

00:34:46.980 --> 00:34:47.359
 through

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:48.339
 really quickly

00:34:48.339 --> 00:34:48.779
 for you

00:34:48.779 --> 00:34:50.219
 what I want

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:50.500
 you to

00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:50.939
 recognize

00:34:50.939 --> 00:34:52.119
 is that

00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:52.939
 God gives

00:34:52.939 --> 00:34:53.519
 a promise

00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:54.139
 to a

00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:54.659
 specific

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:55.139
 group of

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:55.480
 people

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:56.919
 and then

00:34:56.919 --> 00:34:57.699
 he blows

00:34:57.699 --> 00:34:58.539
 it up

00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:00.039
 and expands

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.579
 upon it

00:35:00.579 --> 00:35:00.819
 in the

00:35:00.819 --> 00:35:01.340
 New Testament

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:01.920
 through

00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:02.239
 Jesus

00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:02.739
 Christ

00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:04.000
 that he

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:04.340
 hasn't

00:35:04.340 --> 00:35:05.079
 replaced

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:06.079
 that promise

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.860
 he hasn't

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:07.599
 nullified

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.340
 that promise

00:35:08.340 --> 00:35:09.179
 he hasn't

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:09.980
 disqualified

00:35:09.980 --> 00:35:10.819
 that promise

00:35:10.819 --> 00:35:11.400
 but he

00:35:11.400 --> 00:35:11.940
 builds

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.619
 upon that

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.039
 promise

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:14.299
 and strengthens

00:35:14.299 --> 00:35:14.799
 it to

00:35:14.799 --> 00:35:15.719
 now welcome

00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:16.279
 in a whole

00:35:16.279 --> 00:35:16.639
 new group

00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:17.059
 of people

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:18.900
 for example

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:20.639
 his promise

00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:21.460
 to Abraham

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:22.460
 in Genesis

00:35:22.460 --> 00:35:23.159
 chapter 12

00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:24.480
 he says

00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:24.819
 this

00:35:24.819 --> 00:35:25.679
 I will

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:26.400
 make you

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:26.900
 a great

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:27.400
 nation

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:28.099
 and I

00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:28.679
 will bless

00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:29.079
 you and

00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:29.400
 make your

00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:29.880
 name great

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:30.460
 so that

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:30.780
 you will

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:31.039
 be a

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.400
 blessing

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:31.900
 I

00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:32.079
 will

00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:32.440
 bless

00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:32.720
 those

00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:32.880
 who

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.200
 bless

00:35:33.200 --> 00:35:33.440
 you

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:34.059
 and him

00:35:34.059 --> 00:35:34.220
 who

00:35:34.220 --> 00:35:34.680
 dishonors

00:35:34.680 --> 00:35:34.840
 you

00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:35.079
 I

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:35.260
 will

00:35:35.260 --> 00:35:35.640
 curse

00:35:35.640 --> 00:35:36.260
 and in

00:35:36.260 --> 00:35:36.579
 you

00:35:36.579 --> 00:35:37.320
 all the

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:37.740
 families

00:35:37.740 --> 00:35:38.180
 of the

00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:38.420
 earth

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:38.880
 shall

00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:39.160
 be

00:35:39.160 --> 00:35:39.720
 blessed

00:35:39.720 --> 00:35:40.599
 promise

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.019
 and in

00:35:42.019 --> 00:35:42.660
 Galatians

00:35:42.660 --> 00:35:43.599
 here's the

00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:44.000
 fulfillment

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:46.360
 the people

00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:47.760
 of God

00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:48.340
 who were

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:48.780
 Jews

00:35:48.780 --> 00:35:49.140
 thought

00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:49.660
 this is

00:35:49.660 --> 00:35:50.340
 amazing

00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:50.920
 for me

00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.380
 but now

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:53.680
 this is

00:35:53.680 --> 00:35:54.140
 amazing

00:35:54.140 --> 00:35:54.640
 for the

00:35:54.640 --> 00:35:55.200
 nations

00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:56.559
 know

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:56.880
 then

00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.340
 that those

00:35:58.340 --> 00:35:58.640
 who are

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.119
 of faith

00:35:59.119 --> 00:35:59.799
 are sons

00:35:59.799 --> 00:36:00.460
 of Abraham

00:36:00.460 --> 00:36:01.639
 and the

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:01.900
 scripture

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:02.460
 foreseeing

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.940
 that God

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.599
 would justify

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:04.319
 the Gentiles

00:36:04.319 --> 00:36:04.880
 by faith

00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:05.759
 preached the

00:36:05.759 --> 00:36:06.159
 gospel

00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:06.839
 before him

00:36:06.839 --> 00:36:07.319
 to Abraham

00:36:07.319 --> 00:36:07.880
 saying

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.139
 in you

00:36:09.139 --> 00:36:09.940
 shall all

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.619
 the nations

00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:11.679
 be blessed

00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:13.500
 so then

00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:14.019
 those

00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:14.480
 who are

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.980
 of faith

00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:16.019
 are blessed

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.639
 along

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.659
 with Abraham

00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:19.199
 the man

00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.819
 of faith

00:36:20.819 --> 00:36:23.059
 through

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:23.779
 faith

00:36:23.779 --> 00:36:24.559
 we can

00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:25.139
 participate

00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:25.639
 in the

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:26.099
 promise

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:26.779
 of Abraham

00:36:26.780 --> 00:36:28.160
 amazing

00:36:28.160 --> 00:36:30.260
 but how

00:36:30.260 --> 00:36:30.580
 about the

00:36:30.580 --> 00:36:30.880
 promise

00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:31.420
 to Israel

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:33.060
 we find

00:36:33.060 --> 00:36:33.480
 in Exodus

00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.380
 chapter 19

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:35.980
 now therefore

00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:36.540
 if you will

00:36:36.540 --> 00:36:37.160
 indeed obey

00:36:37.160 --> 00:36:37.800
 my voice

00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:38.260
 and keep

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:38.940
 my covenant

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:39.780
 you shall

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:40.360
 be my

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:40.840
 treasured

00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:41.240
 possession

00:36:41.240 --> 00:36:42.200
 among all

00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:42.940
 the peoples

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:44.019
 for all

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:44.340
 the earth

00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:44.860
 is mine

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.320
 and you

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:45.680
 shall be

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:46.080
 to me

00:36:46.080 --> 00:36:46.760
 a kingdom

00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:47.380
 of priests

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:48.200
 and a holy

00:36:48.200 --> 00:36:48.660
 nation

00:36:48.660 --> 00:36:49.720
 these are

00:36:49.720 --> 00:36:50.240
 the words

00:36:50.240 --> 00:36:50.500
 that you

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:51.040
 shall speak

00:36:51.040 --> 00:36:51.340
 to the

00:36:51.340 --> 00:36:51.620
 people

00:36:51.620 --> 00:36:52.120
 of Israel

00:36:52.120 --> 00:36:53.280
 and that

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:53.519
 should be

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.120
 really familiar

00:36:54.120 --> 00:36:54.620
 because we've

00:36:54.620 --> 00:36:54.960
 been going

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.579
 back to

00:36:55.579 --> 00:36:56.220
 1 Peter

00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:57.079
 a lot

00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:57.420
 so I

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:57.760
 wanted to

00:36:57.760 --> 00:36:58.000
 give you

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.400
 a different

00:36:58.400 --> 00:36:58.780
 verse

00:36:58.780 --> 00:36:59.440
 in Revelation

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.400
 to him

00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:02.260
 who loves

00:37:02.260 --> 00:37:02.880
 us

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.599
 and has

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:04.220
 freed us

00:37:04.220 --> 00:37:04.659
 from our

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:05.019
 sins

00:37:05.019 --> 00:37:05.599
 by his

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:06.039
 blood

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:06.679
 of course

00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:07.240
 speaking

00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:07.840
 about the

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.139
 lamb

00:37:08.139 --> 00:37:09.519
 and made

00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:10.019
 us

00:37:10.019 --> 00:37:11.079
 a kingdom

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:12.900
 and priests

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:13.480
 to his

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:13.960
 God

00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:14.840
 and father

00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:15.300
 to him

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:15.960
 be glory

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.039
 and dominion

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:18.079
 forever

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:19.699
 well how

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:20.480
 about promises

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:21.400
 to David

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.079
 promise to

00:37:25.040 --> 00:37:25.420
 here's what

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:25.860
 it says

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.520
 when your

00:37:26.520 --> 00:37:27.080
 days are

00:37:27.080 --> 00:37:27.460
 fulfilled

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:27.860

00:37:27.860 --> 00:37:28.500
 and you

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:29.060
 lie down

00:37:29.060 --> 00:37:29.360
 with your

00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:29.680
 fathers

00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:30.240
 I will

00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:30.760
 raise up

 will establish

 Jesus

00:37:54.720 --> 00:37:55.420
 he will

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:56.039
 be great

00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:56.340
 and be

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:56.599
 called

00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:57.079
 the son

00:37:57.079 --> 00:37:57.280
 of the

00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:57.840
 most high

00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:58.519
 and the

00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.240
 Lord God

00:37:59.240 --> 00:37:59.820
 will give

00:37:59.820 --> 00:38:00.320
 to him

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:00.880
 the throne

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:01.200
 of his

00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:01.500
 father

00:38:01.500 --> 00:38:01.920
 David

00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:02.980
 and he

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:03.519
 will reign

00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:04.039
 over the

00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:04.460
 house

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:05.260
 of Jacob

00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:05.940
 forever

00:38:05.940 --> 00:38:07.059
 and of

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:07.579
 his kingdom

00:38:07.579 --> 00:38:08.539
 there will

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:09.480
 be no

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:10.059
 end

00:38:10.059 --> 00:38:12.280
 in Jesus

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:13.400
 are the

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:14.280
 promises

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:15.480
 to David

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.179
 fulfilled

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:17.760
 well how

00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:18.440
 about promises

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.860
 to the

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:19.360
 nations

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.440
 come back

00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:21.900
 to Genesis

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.720
 chapter 12

00:38:22.720 --> 00:38:23.880
 in you

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.420
 all the

00:38:25.420 --> 00:38:26.140
 families of

00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:26.559
 the earth

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:26.940
 shall be

00:38:26.940 --> 00:38:27.440
 blessed

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:28.420
 well

00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:29.880
 which

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:30.559
 families

00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:31.720
 not just

00:38:31.720 --> 00:38:32.440
 Jewish

00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:33.039
 families

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.360
 but the

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:35.140
 families of

00:38:35.140 --> 00:38:35.700
 the earth

00:38:35.700 --> 00:38:36.360
 will be

00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:36.760
 blessed

00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:37.880
 through

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:38.740
 Jesus

00:38:38.740 --> 00:38:40.140
 who by

00:38:40.140 --> 00:38:40.760
 the way

00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:41.660
 has now

00:38:41.660 --> 00:38:42.780
 cemented a

00:38:42.780 --> 00:38:43.480
 relationship

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:44.760
 through Abraham

00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:45.920
 as being

00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.100
 his seed

00:38:47.100 --> 00:38:49.220
 and strengthened

00:38:49.220 --> 00:38:50.200
 that promise

00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:51.880
 now it is

00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:52.620
 an eternally

00:38:52.620 --> 00:38:53.300
 fulfilled

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:54.140
 in Christ

00:38:54.140 --> 00:38:55.000
 who is a

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:55.720
 descendant

00:38:55.720 --> 00:38:56.300
 of Abraham

00:38:56.300 --> 00:38:58.380
 and as

00:38:58.380 --> 00:38:59.440
 we find

00:38:59.440 --> 00:38:59.840
 in Isaiah

00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:00.580
 chapter 49

00:39:00.580 --> 00:39:01.060
 6

00:39:01.060 --> 00:39:03.400
 God speaking

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:04.000
 to Israel

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.800
 I will make

00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:05.580
 you as a

00:39:05.580 --> 00:39:06.320
 light for

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:06.980
 the nations

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:08.180
 that my

00:39:08.180 --> 00:39:09.020
 salvation

00:39:09.020 --> 00:39:09.880
 may reach

00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:10.580
 to the

00:39:10.580 --> 00:39:11.140
 ends

00:39:11.140 --> 00:39:12.000
 of the

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.300
 earth

00:39:12.300 --> 00:39:13.740
 fulfilled

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:14.339
 in Jesus

00:39:14.339 --> 00:39:14.939
 Christ

00:39:14.939 --> 00:39:15.839
 Simeon

00:39:15.839 --> 00:39:16.159
 says

00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:16.500
 now

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:17.099
 Lord

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:17.799
 you're

00:39:17.799 --> 00:39:18.039
 letting

00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:18.239
 your

00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:18.539
 servant

00:39:18.539 --> 00:39:18.899
 depart

00:39:18.899 --> 00:39:19.379
 in peace

00:39:19.379 --> 00:39:19.779
 according

00:39:19.779 --> 00:39:20.119
 to your

00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:20.579
 word

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:21.339
 for my

00:39:21.339 --> 00:39:21.719
 eyes

00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:22.279
 have seen

00:39:22.279 --> 00:39:22.500
 your

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.000
 salvation

00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:24.000
 that you

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.599
 have prepared

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:25.000
 in the

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:25.359
 presence

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:25.699
 of all

00:39:25.699 --> 00:39:26.159
 peoples

00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:26.879
 a light

00:39:26.879 --> 00:39:27.919
 for revelation

00:39:27.919 --> 00:39:28.339
 to the

00:39:28.339 --> 00:39:29.019
 Gentiles

00:39:29.019 --> 00:39:29.839
 and for

00:39:29.839 --> 00:39:30.479
 your glory

00:39:30.479 --> 00:39:30.879
 to the

00:39:30.879 --> 00:39:31.239
 people

00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:32.179
 Israel

00:39:32.179 --> 00:39:34.519
 finally

00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:36.539
 we see

00:39:36.539 --> 00:39:38.179
 what God

00:39:38.179 --> 00:39:38.819
 does for

00:39:38.819 --> 00:39:39.539
 his people

00:39:39.539 --> 00:39:41.099
 we see

00:39:41.099 --> 00:39:41.599
 that here

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:41.939
 in the

00:39:41.939 --> 00:39:42.619
 last part

00:39:42.619 --> 00:39:43.019
 of 1st

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:43.539
 Thessalonians

00:39:43.539 --> 00:39:44.219
 chapter 5

00:39:44.219 --> 00:39:45.619
 this final

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:46.039
 truth

00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:46.480
 Jesus

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:47.139
 endured

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:48.219
 the wrath

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:48.840
 of God

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.500
 for those

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:50.139
 who believe

00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:51.539
 and I've

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:52.019
 broken this

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:52.440
 into two

00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:52.800
 parts

00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:53.079
 that we

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.440
 need to

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:54.519
 touch on

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:55.480
 really briefly

00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.500
 the first

00:39:56.500 --> 00:39:57.259
 is that

00:39:57.259 --> 00:39:57.599
 Jesus

00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:58.179
 paid the

00:39:58.179 --> 00:39:58.719
 price for

00:39:58.719 --> 00:39:59.059
 sin

00:39:59.059 --> 00:40:00.699
 you know

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:01.039
 that

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:02.500
 Jesus

00:40:02.500 --> 00:40:03.820
 in speaking

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:05.279
 to Nicodemus

00:40:05.279 --> 00:40:06.559
 in John

00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:07.259
 chapter 3

00:40:07.259 --> 00:40:08.920
 this Pharisee

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:09.659
 of the Pharisee

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:10.059
 a leader

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:10.880
 of the Pharisees

00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:11.380
 he's called

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:12.039
 because he's

00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:12.519
 part of the

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:13.139
 Sanhedrin

00:40:13.139 --> 00:40:14.359
 Jesus

00:40:14.359 --> 00:40:14.839
 is having

00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:15.679
 a conversation

00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:17.079
 with Nicodemus

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:17.639
 about what

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:17.859
 does it

00:40:17.859 --> 00:40:18.239
 mean

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:18.879
 to be

00:40:18.879 --> 00:40:19.339
 a child

00:40:19.339 --> 00:40:19.679
 of God

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:19.879
 what does

00:40:19.879 --> 00:40:20.259
 it mean

00:40:20.259 --> 00:40:21.219
 to be

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:22.420
 one who

00:40:22.420 --> 00:40:22.679
 has been

00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:23.239
 accepted

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:23.839
 and not

00:40:23.839 --> 00:40:24.379
 condemned

00:40:24.379 --> 00:40:26.379
 he says

00:40:26.379 --> 00:40:26.859
 there in

00:40:26.859 --> 00:40:27.739
 John

00:40:27.739 --> 00:40:28.539
 chapter 3

00:40:28.539 --> 00:40:30.159
 he says

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.279
 God

00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:35.340
 God

00:40:35.340 --> 00:40:35.660
 did not

00:40:35.660 --> 00:40:36.080
 send

00:40:36.080 --> 00:40:36.680
 his son

00:40:36.680 --> 00:40:37.040
 into the

00:40:37.040 --> 00:40:37.340
 world

00:40:37.340 --> 00:40:37.560
 to

00:40:37.560 --> 00:40:37.960
 condemn

00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:38.160
 the

00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:38.480
 world

00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:39.820
 but

00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:39.960
 in

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:40.200
 order

00:40:40.200 --> 00:40:40.380
 that

00:40:40.380 --> 00:40:40.540
 the

00:40:40.540 --> 00:40:40.840
 world

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:41.120
 might

00:40:41.120 --> 00:40:41.340
 be

00:40:41.340 --> 00:40:41.900
 saved

00:40:41.900 --> 00:40:42.400
 through

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:43.019
 him

00:40:43.019 --> 00:40:44.440
 whoever

00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:44.980
 believes

00:40:44.980 --> 00:40:45.320
 in him

00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:45.700
 is not

00:40:45.700 --> 00:40:46.140
 condemned

00:40:46.140 --> 00:40:46.660
 but whoever

00:40:46.660 --> 00:40:47.220
 does not

00:40:47.220 --> 00:40:47.760
 believe

00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:49.080
 is condemned

00:40:49.080 --> 00:40:49.640
 already

00:40:49.640 --> 00:40:50.900
 because

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.600
 he has

00:40:51.600 --> 00:40:51.880
 not

00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:52.360
 believed

00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:52.620
 in the

00:40:52.620 --> 00:40:52.960
 name

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:53.760
 of the

00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:54.160
 only

00:40:54.160 --> 00:40:54.820
 son

00:40:54.820 --> 00:40:55.500
 of

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:55.820
 God

00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:58.080
 those

00:40:58.080 --> 00:40:59.559
 who

00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:00.460
 by faith

00:41:00.460 --> 00:41:00.960
 are now

00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.640
 sons of

00:41:01.640 --> 00:41:02.000
 Abraham

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:02.860
 because

00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:03.300
 of

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:05.180
 confessing

00:41:05.180 --> 00:41:05.900
 their faith

00:41:05.900 --> 00:41:06.260
 in Jesus

00:41:06.260 --> 00:41:06.760
 Christ

00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:07.800
 and asking

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:08.300
 forgiveness

00:41:08.300 --> 00:41:08.740
 for their

00:41:08.740 --> 00:41:09.140
 sins

00:41:09.140 --> 00:41:10.820
 will not

00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:11.380
 experience

00:41:11.380 --> 00:41:12.200
 the condemnation

00:41:12.200 --> 00:41:12.519
 of God

00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:13.100
 the wrath

00:41:13.100 --> 00:41:13.539
 of God

00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:14.080
 will not

00:41:14.080 --> 00:41:14.600
 come

00:41:14.600 --> 00:41:15.180
 upon

00:41:15.180 --> 00:41:15.559
 them

00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.480
 Paul

00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:18.100
 explains it

00:41:18.100 --> 00:41:18.340
 well

00:41:18.340 --> 00:41:18.840
 in Romans

00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:19.460
 chapter 6

00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:19.820
 he says

00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:20.660
 for the

00:41:20.660 --> 00:41:21.039
 wages

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:21.460
 of sin

00:41:21.460 --> 00:41:21.960
 is death

00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:23.260
 but the

00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:23.820
 gift

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:24.680
 of God

00:41:24.680 --> 00:41:25.320
 is eternal

00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:25.800
 life

00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:26.760
 through

00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:27.060
 Jesus

00:41:27.060 --> 00:41:27.500
 Christ

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:27.780
 our

00:41:27.780 --> 00:41:28.060
 Lord

00:41:28.060 --> 00:41:29.360
 Jesus

00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:30.060
 paid

00:41:30.060 --> 00:41:30.420
 the

00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:30.880
 price

00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:31.260
 for

00:41:31.260 --> 00:41:31.700
 sin

00:41:31.700 --> 00:41:32.900
 have

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:33.060
 you

00:41:33.060 --> 00:41:34.200
 experienced

00:41:34.200 --> 00:41:35.000
 the

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:35.720
 benefits

00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:37.519
 of that

00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:37.820
 payment

00:41:37.820 --> 00:41:39.480
 and because

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:40.160
 he paid

00:41:40.160 --> 00:41:40.580
 the price

00:41:40.580 --> 00:41:41.060
 for sin

00:41:41.060 --> 00:41:41.560
 Jesus

00:41:41.560 --> 00:41:42.260
 also

00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:43.100
 delivers

00:41:43.100 --> 00:41:43.660
 us

00:41:43.660 --> 00:41:44.260
 from

00:41:44.260 --> 00:41:44.920
 future

00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:45.580
 wrath

00:41:45.580 --> 00:41:46.460
 he

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:47.140
 endured

00:41:47.140 --> 00:41:47.800
 the

00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:48.340
 wrath

00:41:48.340 --> 00:41:49.120
 of God

00:41:49.120 --> 00:41:49.700
 on your

00:41:49.700 --> 00:41:50.280
 behalf

00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:51.380
 as the

00:41:51.380 --> 00:41:51.720
 prophet

00:41:51.720 --> 00:41:52.240
 Isaiah

00:41:52.240 --> 00:41:52.880
 says

00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:53.700
 Jesus

00:41:53.700 --> 00:41:54.200
 was

00:41:54.200 --> 00:41:55.340
 brutalized

00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:55.980
 for you

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.420
 and for

00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:56.740
 me

00:41:56.740 --> 00:41:57.760
 he

00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:58.019
 was

00:41:58.019 --> 00:41:58.880
 crushed

00:41:58.880 --> 00:41:59.920
 he

00:41:59.920 --> 00:42:00.140
 was

00:42:00.140 --> 00:42:01.120
 bruised

00:42:01.120 --> 00:42:03.380
 for you

00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:03.840
 and for

00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:04.120
 me

00:42:04.120 --> 00:42:04.860
 Jesus

00:42:04.860 --> 00:42:05.400
 does not

00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:06.039
 overlook

00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:06.500
 sin

00:42:06.500 --> 00:42:07.980
 Jesus

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:08.480
 does not

00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:09.039
 turn a

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:09.720
 blind eye

00:42:09.720 --> 00:42:10.160
 to sin

00:42:10.160 --> 00:42:10.380
 but

00:42:10.380 --> 00:42:11.380
 God the

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:11.800
 father

00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:12.600
 laid the

00:42:12.600 --> 00:42:13.079
 burden

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:13.640
 of sin

00:42:13.640 --> 00:42:14.160
 on the

00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:14.500
 shoulders

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:15.059
 of Jesus

00:42:15.059 --> 00:42:15.680
 and he

00:42:15.680 --> 00:42:16.180
 paid the

00:42:16.180 --> 00:42:16.640
 price

00:42:16.640 --> 00:42:17.640
 so that

00:42:17.640 --> 00:42:17.900
 you

00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:18.300
 and I

00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:18.600
 would not

00:42:18.600 --> 00:42:19.019
 have to

00:42:19.019 --> 00:42:20.400
 and as

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:20.840
 we find

00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:21.199
 here

00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:23.179
 in verses

00:42:23.179 --> 00:42:24.440
 8

00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:25.380
 through 11

00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:27.460
 Jesus

00:42:27.460 --> 00:42:28.679
 delivers

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.139
 us

00:42:29.139 --> 00:42:29.460
 from

00:42:29.460 --> 00:42:29.840
 future

00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:30.179
 wrath

00:42:30.179 --> 00:42:30.460
 look at

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:30.880
 this

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.719
 since

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:33.039
 we

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:33.820
 belong

00:42:33.820 --> 00:42:34.320
 to the

00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:35.159
 excuse me

00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:35.840
 but since

00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.119
 we belong

00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:37.420
 to the

00:42:37.420 --> 00:42:37.759
 day

00:42:37.759 --> 00:42:38.320
 let us

00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:38.960
 be sober

00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:40.179
 having

00:42:40.179 --> 00:42:41.079
 put on

00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:41.860
 the breastplate

00:42:41.860 --> 00:42:42.559
 of faith

00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:43.280
 and love

00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:43.900
 and for

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:44.320
 a helmet

00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:44.759
 the hope

00:42:44.759 --> 00:42:45.380
 of salvation

00:42:45.380 --> 00:42:46.360
 and here

00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:46.780
 we are

00:42:46.780 --> 00:42:47.840
 for God

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:48.519
 has not

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:49.140
 destined

00:42:49.140 --> 00:42:49.660
 us

00:42:49.660 --> 00:42:50.540
 for wrath

00:42:50.540 --> 00:42:51.860
 but to

00:42:51.860 --> 00:42:52.380
 obtain

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:53.140
 salvation

00:42:53.140 --> 00:42:53.700
 through

00:42:53.700 --> 00:42:54.300
 our

00:42:54.300 --> 00:42:54.700
 Lord

00:42:54.700 --> 00:42:55.160
 Jesus

00:42:55.160 --> 00:42:55.720
 Christ

00:42:55.720 --> 00:42:56.820
 this is

00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:57.100
 now the

00:42:57.100 --> 00:42:57.660
 second time

00:42:57.660 --> 00:42:57.900
 that he

00:42:57.900 --> 00:42:58.500
 said this

00:42:58.500 --> 00:42:59.240
 because he's

00:42:59.240 --> 00:42:59.800
 reiterated

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:00.180
 this from

00:43:00.180 --> 00:43:00.800
 chapter 1

00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:02.180
 chapter 1

00:43:02.180 --> 00:43:02.680
 verse 10

00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:03.160
 says much

00:43:03.160 --> 00:43:03.460
 the same

00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:03.880
 thing

00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:04.500
 and to

00:43:04.500 --> 00:43:05.040
 wait for

00:43:05.040 --> 00:43:05.580
 his son

00:43:05.580 --> 00:43:06.200
 from heaven

00:43:06.200 --> 00:43:06.980
 whom he

00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:07.460
 raised

00:43:07.460 --> 00:43:07.880
 from the

00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:08.160
 dead

00:43:08.160 --> 00:43:08.820
 Jesus

00:43:08.820 --> 00:43:09.500
 who

00:43:09.500 --> 00:43:09.960
 delivers

00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:10.480
 us

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.000
 from

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:11.460
 the

00:43:11.460 --> 00:43:11.980
 wrath

00:43:11.980 --> 00:43:12.280
 to

00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:12.720
 come

00:43:12.720 --> 00:43:14.280
 this is

00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:14.680
 all in

00:43:14.680 --> 00:43:15.340
 the context

00:43:15.340 --> 00:43:15.620
 of the

00:43:15.620 --> 00:43:15.860
 day of

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:15.960
 the

00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:16.280
 Lord

00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:17.180
 this is

00:43:17.180 --> 00:43:17.600
 all in

00:43:17.600 --> 00:43:18.280
 the context

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:18.760
 of the

00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:19.380
 vengeance

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:20.100
 of God

00:43:20.100 --> 00:43:20.760
 and the

00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:21.280
 wrath of

00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:21.560
 God

00:43:21.560 --> 00:43:22.340
 poured out

00:43:22.340 --> 00:43:22.800
 on the

00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:23.040
 wicked

00:43:23.040 --> 00:43:23.540
 of this

00:43:23.540 --> 00:43:23.860
 earth

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:25.660
 but those

00:43:25.660 --> 00:43:26.000
 who are

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:26.800
 in Christ

00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:28.640
 have already

00:43:28.640 --> 00:43:29.260
 endured

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:29.940
 the wrath

00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:30.440
 of God

00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:31.220
 because

00:43:31.220 --> 00:43:32.040
 Jesus

00:43:32.040 --> 00:43:32.900
 endured

00:43:32.900 --> 00:43:33.180
 it

00:43:33.180 --> 00:43:33.880
 for you

00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:34.940
 and thus

00:43:34.940 --> 00:43:35.580
 you are

00:43:35.580 --> 00:43:36.100
 preserved

00:43:36.100 --> 00:43:36.800
 from future

00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:37.180
 wrath

00:43:37.180 --> 00:43:39.060
 because

00:43:39.060 --> 00:43:40.780
 it's already

00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:41.460
 been paid

00:43:41.460 --> 00:43:44.220
 what a

00:43:44.220 --> 00:43:44.519
 blessing

00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:45.100
 to know

00:43:45.099 --> 00:43:46.059
 that

00:43:46.059 --> 00:43:46.360
 Jesus

00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:46.819
 has

00:43:46.819 --> 00:43:47.219
 truly

00:43:47.219 --> 00:43:47.599
 paid

00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:47.699
 it

00:43:47.699 --> 00:43:48.000
 all

00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:49.319
 and so

00:43:49.319 --> 00:43:49.659
 all
