1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Bangkok

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Oh Lord my God, you have put my trust

3
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Oh Lord my God, you have put my hope

4
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:56,000
In you, in you I find my peace

5
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000
In you, in you I find my strength

6
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,000
In you, I live and move and breathe

7
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Let everything I say and do be part of our faith in you

8
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Lift up holy hands and sing, let the crisis ring

9
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Oh Lord my God, you have given my hands

10
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Oh Lord my God, you have given my peace

11
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Oh Lord my God, you have given my everything

12
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Oh Lord my God, you have given my life

13
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:09,000
In you, in you I find my peace

14
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:18,000
In you, in you I find my strength

15
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000
In you, I live and move and breathe

16
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Let everything I say and do be part of our faith in you

17
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Lift up holy hands and sing, let the crisis ring

18
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Let the crisis ring

19
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Let the crisis ring

20
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,000
I love this verse

21
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Why would he say it this way? He said it for this reason

22
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Paul said in Romans chapter 8, 38-39

23
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Look it up for yourself, it's the same word every version

24
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons

25
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Neither the present nor the future nor any powers, neither height nor death nor anything else in all creation

26
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord

27
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
You can write that down in your notebook or phone

28
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But what I love about it is he said for I am convinced

29
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And that's something that's very personal that we have to understand is that he was convinced

30
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Now we can take that and say I'm convinced about that too

31
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
But Paul wasn't trying to tell everybody what they're convinced about

32
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
He was saying no matter what, what goes on here

33
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
In the past, present, future, everything

34
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
I'm convinced that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord

35
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So my question is something to think about, do this

36
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Don't just think, do it, write it down

37
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Do something, take the action, take the initiative

38
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Think about it, what are you convinced about?

39
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
What are you convinced about Jesus? What has Jesus convinced you?

40
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Something to think about

41
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Amen

42
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Let's pray

43
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And then we'll sing another song

44
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
And then we're going to release the doors in the classroom in a moment

45
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And go to the word Limecite

46
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Tonight is part one of four on the kingdom of God

47
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It's quite a worksheet, it's a doozy

48
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
So I'm looking forward to it, alright?

49
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Father in heaven, I praise you, I thank you

50
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I thank you, good Lord, that as we talk with people, we can talk about how good you are

51
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
And even the last two days have been quite an experiment for me

52
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Since Sunday, really being convicted

53
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
That all we need to do is say how good you are

54
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And we find folks that agree with us

55
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And we also find folks that disagree with us or just aren't concerned

56
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
And some of that latter group

57
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
And some of that very first group that do agree with us that you are good

58
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
They're not saved and they're willing to listen

59
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
And we've seen it, Miss Chris led somebody to Christ just a few hours ago

60
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Using this very thing, Lord, just talked about

61
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And we're grateful that you brought that to our church

62
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Grateful that you brought that to us

63
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I want to pray for those who are hurting

64
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Aaron's hurting with the muscle that he injured in his chest

65
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
I would just pray, Lord, that you can heal that

66
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
We pray for Miss Barb

67
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Thank you that her surgery, which wound up being three surgeries

68
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Has gone well now and she's healing up

69
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And she'll be able to be with us in church on Sunday, it looks like

70
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
I hope that's true

71
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Lord, we pray for those who lost loved ones this week

72
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
The last ten days

73
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Lord, it's been, that's a tough journey

74
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
That's a hard time

75
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And we know that you can sustain us through it

76
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
So we're asking you to be mighty, mighty, mighty in your lives

77
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Mighty, mighty, mighty

78
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Lord, I pray for Sherry

79
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
She got stuck out of town longer than she wanted

80
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
She's not here now, I pray that she's driving safely

81
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Lord, thank you for warm weather

82
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Thank you for us being together

83
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
And we're going to be blessing on the candy for later

84
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Even though it's candy, that it'll be fun

85
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
And also that you can use it

86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Actually, help us as we learn about the kingdom of God today

87
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
And really as we learn about the kingdom

88
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
We pray all this in Jesus' name

89
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:56,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

90
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And a liar unto my bow

91
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

92
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And a liar unto my bow

93
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
When I feel a pain and I think of lost one way

94
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Still you're there right beside me

95
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Nothing will I fear as long as you are near

96
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:41,000
This we kneel before you

97
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

98
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And a liar unto my bow

99
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

100
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000
And a liar unto my bow

101
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000
I will not forget your love for me and yes

102
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,000
My heart forever is one dream

103
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Jesus be my God and hold me to your side

104
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And I will love you until the end

105
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

106
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And a liar unto my bow

107
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,000
My word is a lamb unto my feet

108
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,000
And a liar unto my bow

109
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,000
And a liar unto my bow

110
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Alright, at this time we'll dismiss the children and their leaders to the classroom

111
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:20,000
for the earth.

112
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary

113
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Here and holy, right and true

114
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000
With thanksgiving I'll be your living

115
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Sanctuary for you

116
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary

117
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Here and holy, right and true

118
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
With thanksgiving I'll be your living

119
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Sanctuary for you

120
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary

121
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Here and holy, right and true

122
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:43,000
With thanksgiving I'll be your living

123
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Sanctuary for you

124
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:56,000
With thanksgiving I'll be your living

125
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Sanctuary for you

126
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Okay, just a reminder

127
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Reminder of your binder, okay?

128
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Adults, everyone can have a binder that wants to have a binder

129
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,000
and then you get enough, either enough total worksheets

130
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
or enough worksheets in a row, then that's when the rewards start happening.

131
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Okay, so we just started the binders last week, two weeks ago.

132
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So this could be your third one in a row.

133
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
And I don't know if RJ, what steps and stones RJ is going to do for the youth on top of what I'm doing.

134
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
But seven in a row is my first mark, okay?

135
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
So then we'll see what happens with that.

136
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Seven in a row.

137
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
That's yours, seven as well?

138
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Okay, well we can't be both on the same one, so we're going to have to adjust.

139
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Let's go, we'll do six and eight for the youth.

140
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Mine will be eight for the teenagers, yours can be six.

141
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000
You can have seven. You can do seven, I'll do eight.

142
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Okay, that'll work.

143
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
You could give them all the rewards at once and then they'll be like,

144
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I won church, I'm going home now.

145
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
That would be terrible.

146
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Okay.

147
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
The date was seven days before now, the second.

148
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Today is the ninth, minus seven is two.

149
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Okay, yeah, so today is the ninth of April.

150
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Alright.

151
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,000
The first one was the 26th of March.

152
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Yeah, that didn't hole punch it.

153
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
There you go, you can make holes or you can get a hole punched in the cafeteria during fellowship time.

154
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Thank you, sir.

155
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Okay, so we are going to begin, as I mentioned tonight, a four part lesson on the kingdom of God.

156
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Now we're going to have a couple of interesting things to have almost,

157
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
well other than just because it's fun, almost nothing to do with the kingdom of God going on at the same time.

158
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
One of those things is throwing candy, that has nothing to do with the kingdom of God, but it's fun, so we do it anyway.

159
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Okay, it's not anti-kingdom of God.

160
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
These are pure chocolate.

161
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Pure chocolate is always good.

162
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
No, I just got them. They're not melted yet.

163
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
And then I got this here, bad boy. Look at this.

164
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000
That's a $15 bag of candy right there.

165
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
And it's open.

166
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Okay, alright, so to start with, we already kind of know that a kingdom is a place ruled over by a king.

167
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
That's just simple.

168
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,000
If you would say adukedom, that's a place ruled over by a duke.

169
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000
So most of those, there's only a few of those words that actually work that way, but king works that way.

170
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
And so tonight's lesson, the first one, is going to be about the king.

171
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Now I'm going to ask you, and it's a trick question, a little bit.

172
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
So take a stab at it. Who do you think the king is?

173
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
God.

174
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000
That is the answer to the trick question that is actually incorrect.

175
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
But that is what most people would say, right?

176
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
But you know what? You stepped out, and so here comes chocolate.

177
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Oh, grab that. Nice shot.

178
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
So Jesus is the king.

179
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
So now, is God in charge? Yes, God's in charge.

180
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
But God, the Father, God, the Son, God, the Holy Spirit are essentially all the same being.

181
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
So they are three in one.

182
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000
But the Bible teaches us from the beginning, and we're going to see it through the Scriptures

183
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:18,000
as we follow the arrows down this very fun, windy page, how Jesus specifically is the king that the Bible taught.

184
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000
So you start up in the left-hand corner where it says, only start OT.

185
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Does anybody know what the abbreviation OT stands for?

186
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Overtime.

187
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
No, not overtime.

188
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Old Testament.

189
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Right, Old Testament, right?

190
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,000
The reason that you start with the Old Testament because in Jesus' day, what was the Bible?

191
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The Old Testament.

192
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
The Old Testament, right? The New Testament didn't exist yet.

193
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
So it was the Old Testament.

194
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
So you start there, okay?

195
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Also, it would be, you could start somewhere completely else, like in the writings of Mohammed or something, right?

196
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
You could start in the lab notes of Benjamin Franklin, right, if you wanted to.

197
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And you would not get to the correct result.

198
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
You could start somewhere completely else.

199
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
So when you start with the Old Testament, you will see first three blanks, priest, prophet, king.

200
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
There are three offices, priest, prophet, and king.

201
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000
That's the first three blanks right there next where it says OT, okay?

202
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Priest, prophet, and king.

203
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:22,000
And those three offices are always, always, always ordained, which means the person is chosen by God

204
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
and the spot is filled by a person of God's choosing, okay?

205
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And that's true throughout the entire Old Testament of every priest, prophet, and king, okay?

206
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Unless, of course, they are a false priest or a false prophet or a false king, then that would be different, right?

207
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,000
But a true prophet, a true priest, or a true king always put in those positions by God.

208
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
As we move through the Old Testament, we will see, and this is what you're going to kind of be paying attention for,

209
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:54,000
we will see that little three lines with an arrow underneath that the king would be a son of David, okay?

210
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
That arrow says son of David.

211
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The king would be a son of David.

212
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Now, we could study priest and prophet, right?

213
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
That's a whole other thing.

214
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
But we're not talking about the priestdom, right?

215
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And we're not talking about the prophetdom.

216
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
We're talking about the kingdom.

217
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So we want to know about the king, right?

218
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
So the kingdom would be a son of David, okay?

219
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Now, before we go any further, I'm going to play a little game here.

220
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Brayden, tell me your birthday, month, day, and year.

221
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
One, ten, ten.

222
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
One, ten, ten.

223
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
That's too easy.

224
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Yeah, you wrote ten, twenty-ten.

225
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
You can eat one, hold another one.

226
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Thank you.

227
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Okay.

228
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Okay, so here we go.

229
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
It's the son of David.

230
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Now we're going up to where it says Genesis.

231
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Why do we start with Genesis?

232
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Does anybody know what the word Genesis means?

233
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
The beginnings, right?

234
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Or beginnings, plural.

235
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Up in the box, on the right-hand corner, up top.

236
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Genesis.

237
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Starts with a G.

238
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,000
There's a G already there.

239
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Just put Enesis next to the G.

240
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Je-enesis.

241
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Okay, the beginnings.

242
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
So we start at the beginning.

243
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
All right, so some of this I will not dig deeply into,

244
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
because if I do, this would be like a six-hour lesson,

245
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
and this is only part one, okay?

246
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
So stick with me.

247
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
In the beginning, in the beginnings,

248
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
we see the first story in the Bible, essentially, after creation,

249
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
is Adam and Eve, and the two blanks there, Adam lost.

250
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Okay?

251
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
So we're talking about, when we talk about the kingdom,

252
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
we're talking about everything that Adam lost.

253
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Okay?

254
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Because he kind of had the kingdom, right?

255
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
So in the kingdom, in the Garden of Eden,

256
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
before there were children, there was God,

257
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
and then there was Adam, and then there was Eve, right?

258
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
So if there are exactly two people living in a kingdom,

259
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
they are the king and the queen.

260
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
That's it, because they're the only two people there, right?

261
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
They're not subjects of a king yet to come,

262
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
because there ain't nobody else,

263
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
nobody else living on another part of the world.

264
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
It's just them, king and queen.

265
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000
So they were king and queen, essentially, under God in the beginning.

266
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Okay?

267
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And then Adam lost that.

268
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
So, at the two blanks up here, upper top, where Adam was?

269
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Adam lost, yep.

270
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
So there's Genesis, then there's a curvy arrow down,

271
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Adam lost.

272
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
All right, now we got a curvy arrow to the left.

273
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Okay?

274
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,000
And we see that God promises to Abraham

275
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
that he'll get back what Adam lost.

276
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Okay?

277
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
And so the first one, and I'll read the scriptures,

278
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I'll let some other people read if we are on good pace,

279
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
but otherwise we're just going to kind of fly,

280
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
we're moving pretty fast until we make sure we can get through it, okay?

281
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
So stick with me.

282
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
All right, so it's Abraham and Sarah, okay?

283
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
So it's the ampersand, that little signal in the middle,

284
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Abraham and Sarah.

285
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Okay, now we're back to Genesis 17.

286
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I said it wrong.

287
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Just ignore I ever said that.

288
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Yeah, Genesis 17, almost there, almost there.

289
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,000
All right, and it's, the first verse is 17-6, and it says,

290
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And I will make you exceedingly fruitful,

291
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
and I will make nations of you, and listen for it,

292
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
and kings, plural, shall come forth from you.

293
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Okay, that's Genesis 17-6.

294
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,000
And then a little later in 16 he says,

295
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her,

296
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
then I will bless her, and she shall be mother of nations,

297
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
kings of people shall come from her.

298
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Okay?

299
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
So it goes Abraham and Sarah, then 17, the first blank is 17,

300
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
the next blank is 6, then the next blank is 16.

301
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
So in other words, in chapter 17, both verse 6 and 16,

302
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Abraham and Sarah.

303
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Okay?

304
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
And then down under that there's two blanks,

305
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000
there's a blank and then a colon and a blank,

306
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
and that's 35 colon 11.

307
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000
So we're still in the book of Genesis, 35 colon 11,

308
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
and this is what that says.

309
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Thus he called him Israel, that was the end of 10,

310
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:30,000
God also said to him, I am God Almighty, be fruitful and multiply.

311
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
A nation and a company of nations shall come from you,

312
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
and kings shall come forth from you.

313
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And the land which I have gave to Abraham and Isaac,

314
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
I will give to you, and I will give the land to your descendants after you.

315
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And so God promised to Abraham and Sarah that he would give them kings,

316
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
meaning king after king after king after king,

317
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000
descendants to possess and to replace what Adam lost.

318
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Okay?

319
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
So that's where we're at in Genesis.

320
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Then there's a circle there that means all of those,

321
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
and the arrow goes down to the left,

322
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
and you've got a long line and three short lines.

323
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Okay?

324
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000
And the long line is Deuteronomy, or as I like to say, the dude, D-U-E-T.

325
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
What?

326
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
What goes in the box with the S-I-P-N?

327
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
King.

328
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Sorry, skip that.

329
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Good job, Jason.

330
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Kings, right?

331
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Notice that at Abraham and Sarah's day, he kept saying kings,

332
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
meaning king after king after king.

333
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Are you following that logic?

334
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
So they would have kings, kings who would have kings who would have kings.

335
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
But we're going to get to the point where we get to just one king,

336
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
but right now we've got kings.

337
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Okay?

338
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Then we've got the arrow going down to the left.

339
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
You've got a long line, which is Deuteronomy, or just dude.

340
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:57,000
And then it's 17, 14 to 20.

341
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Chapter 17, verses 14 to 20.

342
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Okay?

343
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you,

344
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
and you possess it and live in it, and you say,

345
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I will set a king over me like all the nations who are around me,

346
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000
you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses.

347
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000
One from among your countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves.

348
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
You may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your countrymen.

349
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Moreover, he shall not multiply horses for himself,

350
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
nor shall he cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses.

351
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Since the Lord has said to you, you shall never again return that way.

352
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away,

353
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself.

354
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom,

355
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll

356
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
in the presence of the Levitical priests.

357
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life,

358
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,000
that he may learn to fear the Lord his God,

359
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
by carefully observing all the words of this law in these statutes,

360
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
that his heart may not be lifted up above his countrymen,

361
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
and that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or the left,

362
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,000
in order that he and his sons may continue long in his kingdom in the midst of Israel.

363
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
So God now, we've moved into Deuteronomy,

364
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,000
God points to a king that they will choose, who will be from the Israelite people,

365
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
it's their people, but it's not really their choosing, it's God's choosing.

366
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,000
So God says, I will ordain a man, and you will find him, and you will put him in office.

367
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
And what kind of man will he be? He will be a man that listens to me.

368
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
He will be a man that does not abuse his people,

369
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000
that does not teach his people to go back and do wrong things, and so on.

370
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
So he will be a man of caliber who will be chosen as king.

371
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And if you go over to the left, there's a box, and you can put king in the box.

372
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
So we've transitioned now to looking in Deuteronomy at the caliber of the king.

373
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Now there may be still doubt, because what happens when we get a king?

374
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Does anybody remember the Bible stories of the kings?

375
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
No. A lot of them weren't good. That's a good way of summing it up.

376
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,000
They weren't good. A lot of them weren't good, like Manasseh,

377
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
who burnt all the priests on stakes all along the road to light the town.

378
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Not a good guy. There were lots of people who were really bad guys,

379
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000
and some of those were descendants of the actual right king.

380
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
So it was bad. It went bad, and then it went better for a little while,

381
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
and then it went bad, bad, bad, and then it went better for a while, bad, bad, bad.

382
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
So we already kind of know we have a problem with the king.

383
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
But in Deuteronomy, that problem has not really shown itself yet.

384
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Bad people have not really shown up to be king yet.

385
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
In fact, no one has been king yet. It's talking about when you have a king.

386
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Okay, so we're going to stop for a moment.

387
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Natalie, what's Brayden's birthday?

388
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I don't know.

389
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Okay. Hailey, what's Brayden's birthday?

390
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
One times X.

391
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Okay, you can give Hailey the other piece of chocolate.

392
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
The one I've been only going to?

393
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
All right.

394
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
See how easy that was now?

395
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Okay, now we know how to play the game.

396
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
And Hailey, what's your birthday?

397
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Nine, twenty-two, eleven.

398
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Okay, here's one to eat.

399
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
One to the wall.

400
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
You didn't even catch me there one.

401
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
That's almost a fail.

402
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Thank you, sir.

403
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Okay, I've literally been holding it like that for a whole week.

404
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Okay, he was trying really hard not to melt the chocolate. Good boy.

405
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Okay, so we're at the box that says king.

406
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Okay, now down to the left, follow the arrow.

407
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
And we're going to, we're working our way through the Old Testament.

408
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And those two lines say, is needed.

409
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Okay, and the book of Judges demonstrates that a king is needed.

410
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
That's a big part of what that book is about.

411
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Okay, and there's a whole bunch of verses and stuff that we could read,

412
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
but I'm going to read a couple.

413
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Okay, so we're in the book of Judges now.

414
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
This is all kind of before they have a king, right?

415
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:20,000
So 17.6 says, I'll find my spot.

416
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Next page.

417
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
17.6 says, in those days there was no king in Israel.

418
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Every man did what was right in his own eyes.

419
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
So it's really just a two-part statement.

420
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
The first part is there was no king.

421
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The second part is every man did what was right in his own eyes.

422
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
And that is not actually a good thing, right?

423
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Because if you think about it, people vary a lot on what they think is right.

424
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:49,000
And if you need it and you want it and you take it, that's still called fevary, right?

425
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
So people were, bless you, people were doing what they thought was right in their own eyes.

426
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:00,000
And so the writer of Judges is explaining to us that they needed a king and they didn't have one.

427
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
18.1, in those days there was no king of Israel.

428
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for themselves to live in.

429
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
For until that day an inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel.

430
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,000
So we had a whole tribe of Israel that was still not getting the land that they were promised that was supposed to be theirs.

431
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
And the author of Judges says it's because there was no king.

432
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
There was no just ruler on the throne.

433
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Okay, so we've got 17.6, 18.1.

434
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
We've got some hints there. The 6 is already there.

435
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
So 17.6, 18.1, now 19.1.

436
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Now it came about in those days when there was no king in Israel that there was a certain Levite

437
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000
staying in the remote part of hill country of Ephraim who took a concubine for himself from Bethlehem in Judah.

438
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Does anybody know this story?

439
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
It goes super bad.

440
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:01,000
She gets badly abused and is left after they have sex with her all night long against her will, she's left for dead.

441
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
They come out in the morning and find her dead.

442
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
So what does he do?

443
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:11,000
He cuts her into pieces and mails her to all the tribes of Israel to show how upset he is about how this never should have happened.

444
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Now the result of that is one of the tribes of Israel is almost completely wiped out.

445
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
It's pretty ugly. It gets really ugly.

446
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,000
But the writer of Judges is showing us that that all happened because there was no king in Israel.

447
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
That's what that statement was.

448
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
The story began with there was no king and there was a certain Levite.

449
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:40,000
So in the day that there was no king, so already you can see that the theme of this is if we don't have a king, we will screw it up.

450
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
That's what Judges is all about.

451
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
If there's no king, we will screw up.

452
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
One more, 21-25.

453
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
So you should have all those blanks filled in now.

454
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
21-25.

455
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:02,000
21-25 says, in those days there was no king in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

456
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So all the evil that's just been recounted in that book, all the bad things that just happened, and it's ugly.

457
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:17,000
They keep spiraling down into sin. They get a man for a while that will leave them and then they spiral down as soon as he's gone, or a woman.

458
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:22,000
And as soon as she's gone, they spiral down into sin again, all because there was no king.

459
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
So now we're following the arrow over to the right.

460
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:33,000
So we've now followed the entire Bible, one second, followed the entire Bible from Genesis through Judges, and we have a few lessons that we've assumed.

461
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Question.

462
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Back up in the beginning, what is that line after Son of David?

463
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Son of David, yep.

464
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Okay.

465
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,000
All right, let's see here.

466
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Kishon, what's Haley's birthday?

467
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
9-22-11.

468
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Okay, you can give her the other M&Ms, Haley.

469
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Now listen, Tony Tate's entire Wacked Out Simple Stuff was about writing something down.

470
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:11,000
He didn't cheat. He did it exactly right.

471
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,000
If you had walked five steps closer, you probably could have reached him in the throw.

472
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Okay, all right, here we go.

473
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,000
So now we're going to the right.

474
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
No, we'll probably do it again before we're done.

475
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Just be listening and you'll get whatever I test you on next.

476
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Okay, before we go to the right, let me just kind of recap.

477
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
So we have three offices ordained by God, priest, prophet, king.

478
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,000
We are following the logic that one of those would be a Son of David, the king would be a Son of David.

479
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
The beginning of the story, Adam loses the kingship.

480
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Then you've got Abraham and Sarah.

481
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
They're promised that they will have descendants who will be king after king after king.

482
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
That's what they were promised.

483
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Not just of one nation, but of many nations.

484
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Then it goes out of Deuteronomy and we see the qualifications or the caliber of the kind of king that people will need when they have a king.

485
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:11,000
And that points us to a certain king of each generation, at least for them.

486
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Then we go into Judges and we see they don't have a king and things are ugly, very, very bad.

487
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
And they keep getting worse.

488
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Even when they get better for a little while, they wind up worse than they were before.

489
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Now we're following to the right.

490
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:33,000
So from Ruth and Micah, so it's Ruth slash Micah on those two lines.

491
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
It's next to the house that has a giant bread leading on it.

492
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Does anybody know why there's a house with a giant bread leading on it?

493
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
It's the gingerbread man.

494
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
It is not the gingerbread man, but that's a great guess.

495
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Because she pulled from the field and she made bread out of it.

496
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Because they needed that food.

497
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
That's a great guess too, but also incorrect.

498
00:32:50,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Okay, so Ruth, there's a guy in Ruth who's important and who is he?

499
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Micah.

500
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Nope, not Micah. Micah's a prophet.

501
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Say it again.

502
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Boaz.

503
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Boaz, okay.

504
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
So the left half of the, when the arrow goes down, you get Boaz on the left.

505
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Boaz.

506
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Okay.

507
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Boaz, just like it sounds.

508
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
B-O-A-Z.

509
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Okay.

510
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Alrighty.

511
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:34,000
So Ruth points to Boaz as an ancestor and you could say a person of caliber in the ancestry of the coming king.

512
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
We're going to look at 418 through 22 real quick.

513
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
So 418.

514
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Now these are the generations of Perez.

515
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
To Perez was born Hezron, and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Aminadab.

516
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And to Aminadab was born Nashon, and to Nashon, Salmon, and Salmon was born Boaz.

517
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Listen closely.

518
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
And to Boaz, Obed.

519
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And to Obed, Jesse.

520
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
And to Jesse, David.

521
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Okay, we're getting close.

522
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
You're close, you're really close.

523
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Okay, I'll read you the Micah verse and you'll nail it.

524
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
As soon as I read you the Micah verse, you'll have it.

525
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Actually, you probably already know it.

526
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:25,000
If I say, out of you, least of these.

527
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I haven't given it to you yet.

528
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
The top two are Ruth Micah, the left one is Boaz.

529
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I haven't given you the Micah one yet.

530
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Okay.

531
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Can't find Micah in my Bible.

532
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Micah's not easy to find because he's little.

533
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I'm going to get there eventually.

534
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Okay, there we go.

535
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Alright, here we go.

536
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Listen for it.

537
00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:01,000
But as for you, Bethlehem, Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you one will go forth for me.

538
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:08,000
To be ruler in Israel, his going forths are from long ago and from the days of eternity.

539
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Now do we know why there's a house with bread on it?

540
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
No, because that's what Bethlehem means.

541
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Tony's nodding his head back.

542
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,000
He can do that.

543
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Because Bethlehem means house of bread.

544
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Okay, so Bethlehem goes on the right hand side.

545
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,000
While you're struggling with how to spell Bethlehem and filling it out and whatever, you can abbreviate if you want, that kind of thing.

546
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Listen to what the verse actually said.

547
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Bethlehem, which is not a very big town, too little to be among the clans of Judah.

548
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,000
They didn't have the big prominence of Judah.

549
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
They weren't recognized in court, let's say.

550
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
From you one, that's a capital O.

551
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Anytime he's a pronoun to represent God or Jesus, you're going to see it's capitalized most of the time.

552
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,000
It's a capital O.

553
00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:01,000
One will go forth for me, that capital M is God the Father, to be ruler in Israel.

554
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
His going forths are from long ago.

555
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
So now we have, what's a ruler?

556
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
A king.

557
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:14,000
So we have a prophecy about a king who would be born in Bethlehem, who would be the one king.

558
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000
And it says his going forths are from long ago.

559
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
So what does that mean?

560
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Kind of, kind of, you're not too far off.

561
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
It means that he exists before he exists.

562
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:33,000
He's prophesied long before he's ever born and in Jesus' case he was present at creation.

563
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
So he's always been coming, is what it's saying, he's always been coming.

564
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,000
It says even from the days of eternity.

565
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
That's powerful, right there.

566
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:48,000
So now we have a king coming out of Bethlehem, a descendant.

567
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Now I don't want to get too far out of myself, so just follow the arrow to the right.

568
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
So there's a funky looking arrow goes down to the right.

569
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:00,000
And it says one and then in the box goes Samuel or you can just put Sam.

570
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,000
16, it's already there, 12 to 13.

571
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
So that's a reference.

572
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Okay, so first Samuel, 16, 12 and 13.

573
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:20,000
So when you're memorizing or looking at the Bible, just understand that Samuel ordained the first kings.

574
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000
So Samuel always goes right before the kings and the chronicles.

575
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:35,000
So first Samuel, we're doing good.

576
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
First Samuel 16, 12 and 13.

577
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Here we go.

578
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,000
16, 12.

579
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
So he sent and brought him in.

580
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Now he was ruddy with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance and the Lord said, arise, anoint him for this is he.

581
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward.

582
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

583
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,000
And so what we have is a king who is a son of Jesse.

584
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Remember how it went?

585
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Obed, Jesse, David.

586
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Right.

587
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:22,000
So now we have a king who was the son of Jesse and in the blanks underneath that our son of Jesse, Colin, David.

588
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Colin's already there and the of is already there.

589
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:33,000
So first Samuel 16, 12, 13 is the anointing of David is the choosing of David to be the son, to be the king over Israel.

590
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:40,000
And I submit to you, I don't want to be too rough with Saul, but the first good one.

591
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,000
The first one will stay the course.

592
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Even though he screws up, he has a contrite heart, comes back to the Lord to be called a man after God's own heart.

593
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
He's the first good king of Israel.

594
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:58,000
So you almost could say if you wanted to that Deuteronomy 17, when you get a king, get a king like this, was talking about David.

595
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,000
And they didn't.

596
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
They got Saul.

597
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Right.

598
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
And then Saul is eventually replaced by David.

599
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:10,000
In fact, there is a verse we could have read, which we didn't, that says that the kingdom was ripped from Saul.

600
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Just a curiosity, don't know why the kingdom was ripped from Saul.

601
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
It actually is kind of important.

602
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Brother Tony, Deacon Tony.

603
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Yeah.

604
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
So who makes the sacrifices?

605
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
The priest.

606
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Right.

607
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Remember we had priest, prophet, king, three offices.

608
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Samuel's the priest.

609
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Saul is not the priest.

610
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
He's the king.

611
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Okay.

612
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
And so right there is a very clear line.

613
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
And Saul crossed it.

614
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
And God said, for that we will rip the kingdom from you and give it instead to David.

615
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000
That's literally what he said.

616
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Well, we've got multiple prophets.

617
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Right.

618
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
But the prophet is Jesus.

619
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Right.

620
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,000
But we're not talking about that so much as much because why?

621
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Because we're looking at kingdom.

622
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Right.

623
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
So our target is kingdom so we're looking at the king.

624
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:14,000
But you're right to have that question and the answer to that question is still Jesus.

625
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Okay.

626
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
All right.

627
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
So we're going to the left.

628
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,000
And we're going to the right in the Bible as we go to the left on the page.

629
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Second Samuel 7.

630
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,000
You probably already know what's about to happen I would imagine.

631
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Okay.

632
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
So Second Samuel 7.

633
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:37,000
And I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you and I will make you a great name.

634
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Listen to this.

635
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000
This is God talking to David.

636
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Are you listening?

637
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
And I will make you a great name like the names of the great men who are on the earth.

638
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:52,000
I will also appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them that they may live in their own place and must and not be disturbed again.

639
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly.

640
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Even from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel and I will give you rest from all your enemies.

641
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:09,000
The Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you when your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers.

642
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:16,000
I will raise up your descendant after you who will come forth from you and I will establish his kingdom.

643
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:22,000
He shall build a house for my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

644
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
You hear it?

645
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:34,000
God promised to David that there would be a descendant of David who would come on the throne and stay there forever.

646
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Not kings, king.

647
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
You see it?

648
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:50,000
So now we got from Adam gave it away to a king will come who is in the line of David from Jesse, from Boaz, right?

649
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Who is needed as we saw when they had judges appointed by God and the people, right?

650
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:03,000
So all of that happened but he says and then verse 14 says I will be a father to him and he will be a son from me.

651
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Pretty cool, huh?

652
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:18,000
And now we've taken it from Genesis through 2 Samuel and we have God's promise that he will send a king that will reign on the throne forever

653
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000
and he will be the descendant of David, okay?

654
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
So let's start.

655
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
What, sir?

656
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
That was, hold on, I lost my spot.

657
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Yes, it's, I have second, 7, 9 through 14 on my paper.

658
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,000
And I read through 14, yeah.

659
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Okay, all right, here we go.

660
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
I'm not going to ask you what's in a blank.

661
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,000
I'm going to ask you for the information so you might have to process a little bit.

662
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:57,000
All right, so what word on this page means beginnings?

663
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Verse 14 to answer, Jason?

664
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Genesis.

665
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,000
That is correct.

666
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Sega.

667
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Sorry.

668
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
I'll throw a little harder next time.

669
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Okay, not Sega, all right?

670
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,000
So who lost the kingship?

671
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,000
The man, I'm looking for the man.

672
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
What man lost the kingship?

673
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Somebody other than Jason, I'm going to give it to him.

674
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Haley?

675
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
No, oh yes, I'll give you that one actually, that is true.

676
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
That was the one I was looking for.

677
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Who else lost the kingship?

678
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Michael.

679
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Sooner than Saul.

680
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Michael.

681
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,000
Nope, not Michael.

682
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,000
The first one.

683
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
All right, Jason.

684
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Adam.

685
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,000
Sorry, man, I'm going to pelt you yet.

686
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Okay.

687
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:50,000
All right, let's see, anyone under 18 in the room?

688
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:56,000
And if you get it, you get to pick two adults to give candy to.

689
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:01,000
What does Bethlehem mean?

690
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Hannah.

691
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
House of bread.

692
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
House of bread is correct.

693
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000
So you may have two adults in the house.

694
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:14,000
No, you can't give any little teenager friends.

695
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Find some adults.

696
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Give them to two adults, the extra two.

697
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,000
You can get up, it's okay, this is not like worship, in worship we stay seated.

698
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Hey, that person got out of their seat, what's going on?

699
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
I can't concentrate on the Bible study now.

700
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,000
I'm so concerned.

701
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,000
All right, we're going to, here we go, here we go.

702
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Dial it in, we're going to, now we're following the arrow to where it says Psalms.

703
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Right?

704
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
The book of Psalms.

705
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Yes, ma'am.

706
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,000
James 7.

707
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Nine to fourteen.

708
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,000
And notice it does say promise there, because that's what that was.

709
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,000
That was God's promise to David that he would give him a king on the throne forever.

710
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Okay?

711
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Okay.

712
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,000
So, this is probably something you've never seen before.

713
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,000
All right?

714
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,000
This is a really cool way of looking at the book of Psalms.

715
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,000
The first 72 Psalms really talk about the history of David.

716
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Now, many of them are written by David, the things that he went through.

717
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,000
51 is when he was mourning over the loss of his child because of what he did, you know,

718
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,000
the curse, that kind of thing.

719
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,000
But the first 72 are largely the history of David to a point.

720
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,000
So that's one to 72, that's what goes into the blank, one dash 72.

721
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
History of David, one dash 72.

722
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:42,000
The next 73 through 89, 73 through 89, are the downfall of the throne.

723
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:50,000
They teach throughout them the various aspects of how errors occurred, right?

724
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Not everything went as desired.

725
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Then, 90 through 106 basically teaches Yahweh's reign or Yahweh as sovereign, 90 through 106.

726
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Yep.

727
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:21,000
So it's one to 72, then 73 to 89, then 90 to 106, and then 107 to 150.

728
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:27,000
And 107 to 150 largely teaches, and it's misspelled, largely teaches the greater David,

729
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,000
the greater Davidic throne, what's coming, okay?

730
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,000
So the downfall of the throne is 90 to 106.

731
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
The downfall of the throne is 73 to 89.

732
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Then next to Yahweh's, Yahweh apostrophe S, it says 90 to 106.

733
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:51,000
It says greater, but he didn't say it better to be in the Taurus post, or in the House of Wicked,

734
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,000
so he's greater.

735
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Right, he's a greeter, yeah, he's a greeter.

736
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Greeter, there'd be another E, so it's misspelled, it's like greater.

737
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,000
That's no word whatsoever.

738
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Proof positive, the pastor's not perfect, in case you thought otherwise.

739
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Okay, 107 to 150 is the last, and how many Psalms are there?

740
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,000
150.

741
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,000
There's 150, okay?

742
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
So that's all the Psalms, and you can break them down that way.

743
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Now, if you go read, you're not going to get everything that's in the first 72 Psalms,

744
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
it's about the history of David, but it's going to clearly lay it out for you.

745
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,000
And the same thing at the end, the greater Davidic throne to come is not the only thing

746
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:35,000
that it talks about in there, but it's going to clearly lay it out for you in those 44 Psalms.

747
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Okay, then you follow that funny looking arrow down, and I already gave you most of this.

748
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:47,000
So what we have is a promised king, the greater Davidic throne is a promised king like no other king.

749
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Remember back in the day when the Israelites wanted a king coming out of the judges,

750
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,000
and they said, we've got to have a king like the other nations have a king.

751
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000
They wanted a king like the other kings.

752
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,000
What God says, you can't have a king like the other king, because you're not a people like any other people.

753
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
So instead, what we get as we come out of the book of Psalms,

754
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:11,000
we're at the point where God has said, he has promised us a king like no other king.

755
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
And that's an R.

756
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,000
There, so it says DBR, got cut off on the photocopy.

757
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Bringing the kingdom by DBR.

758
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Anybody under 18 that can tell me what DBR stands for?

759
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,000
I'll give you candy for you and a friend.

760
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,000
I can't hear it. DBR.

761
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,000
What it wants? Don't bring ruin.

762
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Incorrect sir.

763
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,000
What do you think Haley, what does DBR stand for?

764
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Two weeks ago I gave you the gospel in three points, I mean four points and this is three of them.

765
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Luterotomy.

766
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Incorrect sir.

767
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
How about if I give you this?

768
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,000
The Easter celebration is because Jesus was DBR.

769
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Death, burial, and resurrection.

770
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Oh great.

771
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Alright, so it's prophecy, it's laid out in Psalms and prophecy that this king would bring the kingdom back

772
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000
by his death, burial, and resurrection.

773
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,000
What did God say would happen to Adam and Eve as soon as they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

774
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Die.

775
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:42,000
So from the moment that they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the kingdom was wrested away from them, they were subject to death.

776
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:48,000
No king could come and replace the king forever on the throne unless he can live forever.

777
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,000
You can't be on the throne forever unless you can live forever.

778
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,000
You can be on the throne and have descendants who are on the throne and that's what Abraham and Sarah were looking for.

779
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
But you can't live on the throne forever unless you live forever.

780
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:06,000
So death has to be defeated, death's triumph has to be undone.

781
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,000
And that's what the prophecies tell us Jesus would do.

782
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Jesus would bring the kingdom back and it didn't say the name Jesus, you won't find Jesus' name in there.

783
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:22,000
But the king who was a descendant of David, who would be on the throne forever, who would be born in Bethlehem,

784
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:29,000
who was a descendant of Boaz, who was absolutely necessary, who was promised to Abraham and Sarah back in the day,

785
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:35,000
who would be the king and was needed since the beginning of Genesis when it was taken away from Adam,

786
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:41,000
that king would be on the throne forever and to do that he would have to die.

787
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:48,000
And when people die they get buried and in his case they get resurrected, but in nobody else's case.

788
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000
That's the exception to the rule.

789
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:57,000
So then the kingship, and this is really a cool point that we don't want to do away with before we get into the kingdom of God more next week,

790
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000
there's a blank right above the Y there and that blank is never.

791
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:19,000
So kingship never isolated. Kingship is never isolated from, anyone want to take a stab at it? From what?

792
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Remember we have three offices, we have the king, the prophet and the priest.

793
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:32,000
And the kingship in Jesus is never isolated from one of those other offices. What is it?

794
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
The prophet.

795
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,000
No, he is a prophet but it is sometimes isolated from that. It's the priesthood.

796
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Jesus is our high priest just the same as he is our king.

797
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:52,000
In fact Jesus sacrificed himself, remember priests do the sacrificing.

798
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:57,000
So what did Jesus sacrifice? He sacrificed the perfect lamb, which was him.

799
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
So he committed that sacrifice to pay for sins.

800
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Same as a lamb might have been sacrificed previously to pay for sins, but he is the only perfect lamb because he is the only person who never had sin.

801
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
That blank is priesthood.

802
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:16,000
So the kingship that you'll find in the scriptures is that the kingship is never isolated from the priesthood.

803
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,000
And we're going to look at that for a second before we're done.

804
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Now, you've got to follow that it's tricky.

805
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Go across the top of the Y and you'll see the arrow starts right under king and it goes up and it goes through the hole in the top of the T.

806
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
You see it? There's a cave there. It goes through the hole and it comes out the other side of the T.

807
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,000
That was my kind of artistic fun. I just want to be fun. I like to have fun sometimes.

808
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,000
T for total.

809
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Yeah. Well this T is for thy.

810
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Okay. So we're going to watch how the New Testament makes it clear that the king and the priesthood are essentially the same.

811
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:01,000
All right. So John 6, that's John, the J is John.

812
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,000
You might even guess that since we've seen like we're in the New Testament now or could have been Jesus.

813
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:13,000
So it's John and John 6, 14 and 15.

814
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:18,000
So it's John 6, 14 and 15.

815
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Okay.

816
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:28,000
When therefore the people saw the sign which he had performed, they said, This is of a truth, the prophet who is to come into the world.

817
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were intending to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself alone.

818
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:49,000
So here in the New American Standard Version, you have prophet and king together.

819
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000
They saw him as the prophet who was to come.

820
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000
I'm going to see if I can get another version real quick.

821
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:00,000
They saw him as the prophet who was to come and they started trying to make him a king.

822
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
They didn't see the difference.

823
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,000
You follow?

824
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Matthew 22, we're going to go, if we have time, I'll go back and dig into that a little bit.

825
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:19,000
Matthew 22, 41 to 46.

826
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:25,000
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question saying, What do you think about the Christ whose son is he?

827
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
They said to him, the son of David.

828
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:35,000
He said to them, Then how does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying, The Lord said to my right hand, sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies beneath thy feet?

829
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,000
And David then calls him Lord, how is he son?

830
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:44,000
And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask him another question.

831
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:51,000
So this reference tells us he's making a reference actually to Psalm 110.

832
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
And by the way, what part of the Psalms was Psalm 110 in?

833
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,000
We broke it down into four pieces.

834
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:04,000
So if you know this, if you get these four pieces memorized, say it again, greater David, right?

835
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000
So this is the greater kingdom of David's Psalm section.

836
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:19,000
So anytime someone gives you a Psalm and they say, well, it's Psalm 121, you can remember that it has probably something to do with the greater kingdom of David, which would be pointing toward Jesus.

837
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
So let me go there to Psalm 110.

838
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
See, he's citing Psalm 110.

839
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Listen to see the similarities.

840
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,000
The Lord says to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.

841
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:35,000
The Lord will stretch forth thy strong scepter from Zion, saying, rule in the midst of thine enemies.

842
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of thy power, and wholly array from the womb of the dawn.

843
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Thy youth are to thee as the dew.

844
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind.

845
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Thou art a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

846
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
The Lord is at thy right hand.

847
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
He will shatter kings in the day of his wrath.

848
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
He will judge among the nations.

849
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,000
He will fill them with corpses.

850
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
He will shatter the chief men over a broad country.

851
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,000
He will drink from the brook by the wayside.

852
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
Therefore, he will lift up his head.

853
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:19,000
So this Psalm is about how the king to come would be the priest in the order of Melchizedek.

854
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:28,000
And when they saw Jesus in Jesus' lifetime, and the verse was Matthew 22,

855
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,000
back there again, Matthew 22, 41.

856
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:41,000
The Pharisees were gathered together.

857
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,000
They asked him, what do you think about the Christ, whose son is he?

858
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Jesus quotes back to him the first lines of that Psalm in verse 44.

859
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:55,000
The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies beneath thy feet.

860
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
If David then calls him Lord, how is he son?

861
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:02,000
But what he was quoting was the first verse of Psalm 110, in which are these words.

862
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,000
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind.

863
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Thou art a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

864
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
See what Jesus is saying?

865
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,000
He's saying, you're not getting it.

866
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
You're not understanding.

867
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,000
You're challenging me with these other things.

868
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
And what I'm saying to you is, I could teach you from the very beginning how God has been saying all along

869
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:30,000
that I would come, that I will be Lord, that I will be king, and that I will be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

870
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,000
It's all been laid out, even like Micah, where it says that he came from before.

871
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
He came from eternity back.

872
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
The throne is promised.

873
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
That's in Psalm 110.

874
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Also, he would be worthy to retrieve what Adam lost.

875
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
So Adam lost it.

876
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Now we need somebody who's worthy to retrieve it.

877
00:57:54,000 --> 00:58:02,000
So if Adam lost the kingship by sinning against God, what kind of king do we need if that king is going to retrieve it?

878
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
We need a king that doesn't sin.

879
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
And that's who Jesus is.

880
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
We only got two very small pieces left, and we're there.

881
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,000
So the first one is in between the T and the H standing up, and you don't have to fill in that blank.

882
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,000
It's already there for you.

883
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
It's Matthew 28, 18.

884
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,000
This is the end, if you will, of Jesus' public ministry on earth.

885
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:31,000
And it says this, all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth, Jesus speaking.

886
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
If you have all authority, you are the?

887
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,000
The king.

888
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,000
You're the chief ruler, baby.

889
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,000
28, 18.

890
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
You are the king.

891
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
All right?

892
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:49,000
And then you follow the arrow over, and it says he is king.

893
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Now I gave it to you fast, and I packed it all in, but take it like this.

894
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Three offices in the Old Testament laid out, priest, prophet, king.

895
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Since Genesis, when Adam lost the kingship, there have been pointings forward,

896
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,000
starting with Abraham and Sarah and then Deuteronomy and then all the way down to

897
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
the judges where it was demonstrated that it was needed.

898
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Ruth and Micah.

899
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Ruth would be in the descendants that would bring it to David, who would then bring it to Jesus.

900
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,000
Jesus would be a descendant of David.

901
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Bethlehem would be his birthplace.

902
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,000
That's a long time before Jesus was ever born.

903
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:35,000
So God has really been making this obvious from the beginnings what kind of king the kingdom would have.

904
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:41,000
And you could almost, if you were like God, which we're not, I understand that,

905
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,000
but if we were like God and could see the big picture, then we could see this from the beginning and go,

906
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:55,000
yeah, it dots and it connects and it goes like this and like, oh, and I can make all of this picture Jesus' face perfectly.

907
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,000
And if you could make it look like what you want it to look like and be what you want it to be,

908
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,000
and all the prophecies fit perfectly, and that's exactly what God has done.

909
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000
It is a masterpiece of the Lord.

910
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:12,000
And the reason we started with the kingdom tonight is no king, no kingdom.

911
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
That's the bottom line.

912
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,000
If you don't believe in the king, you are not part of the kingdom.

913
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
That's it.

914
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:26,000
And so we need to understand what the Bible teaches about the king that God would send and that it's there.

915
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,000
And this is only one page.

916
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:36,000
There are tons of prophecies, hundreds, literally hundreds of prophecies that lay out very specifically

917
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,000
where he would live, how he would live, what would happen to him, how he would die,

918
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:45,000
what wouldn't happen to him when he died, etc., etc., how he would teach.

919
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:49,000
All of it is all laid out, but you can trace the line now.

920
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Somebody gets talking, he's like, how do you know Jesus is the one?

921
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,000
So you could know it because you know him, and you can testify to that.

922
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Or you can claim it, you can say, I know it because look at what Jesus did.

923
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Nobody else did that.

924
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Nobody else came back from the dead.

925
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,000
That's perfect testimony, right?

926
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Nobody else did all of these miracles.

927
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,000
And they'll say, well, he never claimed to be God, and that's just not true.

928
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,000
He very clearly claimed to be God in the flesh, right?

929
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,000
It's very clear in his teaching multiple times he claimed to be God.

930
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
All the I am statements, right?

931
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Basically, he was claiming to be God because that's the Old Testament name for God, I am, right?

932
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,000
And so bottom line is it's all laid out there.

933
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,000
And if somebody says that Jesus doesn't connect to it, they're just being foolish.

934
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,000
They're just being foolish.

935
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:40,000
It's very clear that God was pointing to a certain king, and it's very clear without even getting

936
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
into where we're going next week, which is the first part of the kingdom come, right?

937
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:51,000
As God demonstrates in the New Testament and in Jesus' life how the kingdom had come upon people

938
01:01:51,000 --> 01:02:00,000
at that time, even without getting into that, it's painfully obvious that Jesus was the one.

939
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,000
It's very clearly laid out.

940
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,000
And that's, you just did it in 45 minutes.

941
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:11,000
And these guys memorize whole books of the Bible.

942
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:18,000
I submit to you to some degree there is no doubt in my mind that living in Jesus' day were men

943
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,000
that knew everything that we just studied and five times as much to know that Jesus was the man,

944
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,000
that He was the one.

945
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,000
And yet they denied Him.

946
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,000
How does that make any sense?

947
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,000
How does it make any sense that you'll crucify Him, crucify Him at a man who was said to be the king

948
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,000
of your people for eternity?

949
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Well, remember, before your two judgmental, remember that it says He would be bringing the kingdom

950
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,000
by His death, burial, and resurrection.

951
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,000
To this day, we don't know for sure when the high priest said,

952
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:57,000
do you not understand that it is beneficial for one man to die for the kingdom?

953
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,000
We don't know exactly how much He knew.

954
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,000
And He said, let Him die.

955
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Right?

956
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Did He mean, want to get rid of Him so we don't have any riots, get rid of Him so we don't have to deal

957
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,000
with the Romans, get rid of Him so we won't get in trouble, get rid of Him so we can get our power back?

958
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Or did He mean, He dies and if He manages to rise, then we'll know.

959
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
And we don't know.

960
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,000
But what we do know is this teaches it very clearly.

961
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000
And now you've seen it.

962
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,000
Next week, Kingdom Come.

963
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
So we're going to pray together at this time.

964
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Does anybody have any questions?

965
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaking of Brother Chris, he went and tried for a piece of candy.

966
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Oh, I hooked him up.

967
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Chris, do you know Brayden's birthday?

968
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
It's a tough one, isn't it?

969
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,000
It was the easy one to remember.

970
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Okay.

971
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:53,000
How about the two-word messages, the two-word message of judges?

972
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:56,000
She hooked you up anyway.

973
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Happy birthday, Brayden.

974
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,000
You got it?

975
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,000
A little help from your friends.

976
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000
Hey, you got it.

977
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,000
Come on out, Brayden.

978
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,000
And both to your general vicinity.

979
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,000
All right.

980
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Let's pray together.

981
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,000
And then there's candy and sweets in the cafeteria, so don't go home sick.

982
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,000
Right?

983
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Okay.

984
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,000
And a couple other things.

985
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
I hope it's been a blessing to you.

986
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,000
It took me some work to do that, but not a ton, but it took me a couple hours to piece

987
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:29,000
that together, and I can do it with the prophecy and stuff like that, but there's only so much

988
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
room on a page, and we don't want to go all night anyway.

989
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,000
So I think you get the gist of it.

990
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
The most important part is there is a king, and he has a kingdom.

991
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,000
And we're going to talk about that kingdom next.

992
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,000
Right?

993
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:45,000
I was just going to say, kingdom, and it doesn't, because I know that it means domination,

994
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,000
but by a king, we're done.

995
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,000
Without a king, we're done.

996
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Okay.

997
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:52,000
There you go.

998
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,000
I like it.

999
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,000
All right.

1000
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Let's pray.

1001
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Father, now, thank you so much for this display of your awesome power.

1002
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,000
The truth is it can't be contained on a page.

1003
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,000
It can't be written in ink.

1004
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Even from Genesis 1-1 through Revelation, the end is still not displayed in its full

1005
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,000
magnitude, its full glory.

1006
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
You are unbelievably awesome.

1007
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:16,000
We would be blown away, flabbergasted.

1008
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Just our minds would be so stretched that you wouldn't even be able to comprehend.

1009
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,000
If we could just see your greatness.

1010
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Think about how you have rolled together and connected people.

1011
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,000
You put us all in this room, and there's a reason for that.

1012
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Because here in this room, it's somebody who's going to grow up and preach the Word, or

1013
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,000
somebody who's going to go out and win a soul later today or tomorrow or next week.

1014
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:42,000
And the kingdom is going to advance, and the king is going to reign, and all authority

1015
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:47,000
and power has been put in his hands, and he has yet made the intercession for us, and

1016
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,000
we are grateful.

1017
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,000
I don't know.

1018
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:56,000
I don't think we're like Abraham or Sarah or even David, but we're humans.

1019
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,000
According to what I see in my Bible, that means that you made it for us to reign in

1020
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,000
this world under you.

1021
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000
That we have prophets here.

1022
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,000
That we are supposed to take care of what comes in our reach.

1023
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:13,000
That we are supposed to be kind and loving and gentle and compassionate, and yet strong

1024
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,000
and even dangerous.

1025
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Just right.

1026
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,000
But we're not vengeful.

1027
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:24,000
As we love, we don't keep a record of wrongs.

1028
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,000
But as we love, we don't back down.

1029
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,000
We don't back down.

1030
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,000
Father, make us your bold messengers.

1031
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:35,000
And we realize that a long time before we were ever born, we have to orchestrate something

1032
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
incredible, and then we now get to pick a sample of it.

1033
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,000
We get an inkling of it.

1034
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,000
And there is no varying with you.

1035
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,000
There is no shadow.

1036
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,000
You're very clear and open.

1037
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:52,000
This seems so painfully obvious to me, and I think it does to some others in this room,

1038
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,000
that you have been at work for a long time.

1039
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,000
And then a couple of decades and a half back when I heard about Jesus, you were at work

1040
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,000
that day, and you've been at work every day since.

1041
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,000
And in the lives of every person in this room, overcoming difficulty, overcoming trials,

1042
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:11,000
pushing through tight places, making a difference.

1043
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,000
That's your kingdom.

1044
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000
That's our kingdom.

1045
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,000
And we praise you for it.

1046
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Jesus, watch over us.
