1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,140
Dear God, this is the time of year when all the world remembers and thinks about that

2
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:09,520
baby that was born.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,100
A baby that was born not just to be a baby but to live and to die for us.

4
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:17,560
Be with us as we open up your Word.

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,120
Fill us with your Spirit.

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Fill us with knowledge of your grace.

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,920
In your name we pray.

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Amen.

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,080
In our society today, we hate to wait.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,160
Anybody like to wait?

11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:38,320
When we go to the grocery store, we look for the line that is the shortest.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,520
Nowadays we're often having to check ourselves out.

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,740
If there's several people in line, you choose the shortest line you hope, but you probably

14
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:49,920
keep your eye on that other line that you didn't get in.

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,600
And if that line gets done first, you're like, oh, I should have gotten in that line.

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,980
Or you're at the stoplight and the person in front of you, the light turns green.

17
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:04,720
Why does it take five seconds to go?

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Five whole seconds.

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480
And we get impatient sometimes.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,680
Or maybe around here it's the traffic.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Whether it's Battlefield Parkway or the 75-24 split, whichever way we're going, it seems

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:26,120
like there's some kind of construction, there's some type of traffic which is often slowing

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,760
us down and we don't like to wait.

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,640
And often in our day and age now, we're a little bit spoiled because of something called

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,860
two-day shipping.

26
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:42,280
And if something's going to take a week to get here, a week, it takes a week to get something

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,280
from China.

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,700
Are you kidding me?

29
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:47,000
Why does it not only take two days?

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
We do not like to wait.

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,160
That is what society has taught us.

32
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,880
That is often our mindset and our mentality.

33
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,320
And yet in the Bible, that was also the cry that people often had.

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,840
We're going to start today, we're going to go to Psalm 13, the 13th Psalm.

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280
And we're going to track through several different passages here.

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:19,000
And we're going to be reminded that the people of God throughout the Bible often had a similar

37
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840
mindset to us.

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,000
So we're going to start in Psalm 13.

39
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,040
And as I said, we're going to have a text on the screen as we go through this, but I

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,800
really, really hope and encourage you to open up your Bibles and follow along with us.

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,760
So Psalm 13, we're going to start in verses one and two.

42
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,280
It says, what's those first two words there?

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,760
How long, does that sound a little impatient there?

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,820
How long, oh Lord, will you forget me forever?

45
00:02:48,820 --> 00:02:52,720
How long will you hide your face from me?

46
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,900
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?

47
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:03,760
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

48
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,520
So there's a group of people who are praying, who are crying out to God.

49
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:16,640
And yet in their mind, in their sense of what this reality is, they don't feel like God is listening.

50
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,160
God, how long do I have to pray before you will answer me?

51
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,840
How long before you will hear my cry?

52
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,960
We're going to turn over to another chapter, another verse, Habakkuk.

53
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,160
This might be a tougher one to find.

54
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,680
It's just two chapters back towards the end of the Old Testament.

55
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,960
I put a marker in mine so I could find it a little easier.

56
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Just remember, you do have a table of contents in the front of your Bible.

57
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,760
Habakkuk chapter one, this is way down towards the end of the Old Testament.

58
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,360
And we see a similar cry, Habakkuk chapter one and verse two.

59
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:04,320
The prophet cries out to God, oh Lord, how long shall I cry and you will not hear?

60
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,160
I even cry out to you violence and you will not save.

61
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,760
This is a time when the kingdom of Israel is being overrun by enemies.

62
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,880
It's being defeated and the prophet is saying, God, we are crying out to you.

63
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,080
There is violence happening against your people and it seems like you won't save us.

64
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,180
It seems like there's a disconnect.

65
00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:33,460
How long do we have to cry out and you won't listen?

66
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:37,800
How long until your promises are fulfilled?

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,720
Let's turn over way back to the beginning, to Genesis chapter three.

68
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Genesis chapter three, because God's promises begin at the very beginning of scripture.

69
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,640
In the Garden of Eden, they're created in this perfect environment, this perfect place,

70
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,080
and by the third chapter of the book, they've already turned away.

71
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360
They've already gone in a different direction.

72
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,920
But immediately, immediately after that sin takes place, just like we talked about to

73
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,400
the children there, that very first question in the Bible in Genesis chapter three, God

74
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,800
says, where are you?

75
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:20,900
And the rest of the story of scripture is this pursuit of God chasing after his people.

76
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:25,520
And we time and time again seem to be running in the opposite direction.

77
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,720
But time and time again, God chases after us.

78
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:36,200
And in Genesis chapter three and verse 15, we see a promise that God makes way back at

79
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,520
the very beginning of scripture.

80
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,800
Genesis three and verse 15.

81
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,720
This is God now talking to the serpent.

82
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800
He's talking to the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

83
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800
And he says, I will pit enmity.

84
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,720
I will pit strife or warfare, conflict.

85
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,040
I will pit enmity between you, snake, and the woman.

86
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,040
Anybody like snakes here?

87
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,360
I do not like snakes.

88
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,100
But there's going to be this conflict between Satan, that's who the snake was in the Garden

89
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:10,120
of Eden, and the woman.

90
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,120
That's singular.

91
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,440
Think back to your English days, your English class, English grammar.

92
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000
That's a singular phrase.

93
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,400
And then it changes.

94
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,080
And it says between your seed and her seed, it tells us that in the Bible, there's going

95
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
to be two sides.

96
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640
There's going to be a group of people that are following God.

97
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,440
And there's going to be a group of people who are living their life in the ways of the

98
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760
serpent following the serpent.

99
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,300
And immediately after this in scripture, we see that coming to fruition as there's a flood

100
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,520
just a couple chapters later.

101
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960
But then it turns back to singular again.

102
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:56,840
It says he, one of these descendants on God's side, he shall bruise your head and you snake

103
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,520
are going to bruise his heel.

104
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Now which is worse, a head wound or a foot wound?

105
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,680
A head wound is much worse.

106
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,160
You can survive a foot injury.

107
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,280
You might have to limp a little bit, use a wheelchair, crutches, whatever.

108
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,200
But you've got a much better chance than if somehow you have a head injury.

109
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:25,920
And so this is a picture of some descendant on God's side, which is going to voluntarily

110
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:32,680
place their head upon the snake, recognizing that they were going to be bit by the snake

111
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:40,560
and yet taking that wound so that they could injure, wipe out, destroy the snake once and

112
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,560
for all.

113
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,800
That's the promise way back in the Garden of Eden.

114
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,160
And so God's people through the pages of scripture are saying, how long?

115
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,240
God, how long is it going to be until these promises are fulfilled?

116
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,480
The promises are there, but still God's people, they go through bondage in Egypt as slaves.

117
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Moses says, after me, there's going to arise another.

118
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,560
They go through to the promised land, but even there there's defeat and there's exile.

119
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,400
Hundreds of years, thousands of years, these promises go.

120
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,120
Let's look at a couple more of the promises.

121
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Isaiah seven, verse 14.

122
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,720
This may be one you might read next week if you volunteer to read a passage.

123
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:36,160
Isaiah seven and verse 14, some of these Old Testament prophecies looking ahead.

124
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Isaiah seven and verse 14.

125
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:47,080
It says, therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.

126
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Behold, the Virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name, Emmanuel.

127
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000
Now what does Emmanuel mean?

128
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
God with us.

129
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,440
This is a verse we read during this time of year because we recognize that the creator

130
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,560
God came to be with us.

131
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,280
Emmanuel God came to be with us.

132
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,620
And that was a sign, a promise that God was going to be near.

133
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:18,440
And yet the people could cry out, how long?

134
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Turn over just two chapters, a page or two to Isaiah chapter nine.

135
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,240
We see another promise here.

136
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,700
Isaiah nine and verse two.

137
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:36,100
It says the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.

138
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:42,760
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.

139
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,160
The people of God recognize that this was a promise of something yet to come.

140
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,860
And we can look at our day and say, well, it seems like there's a lot of spiritual darkness.

141
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:55,320
There's a lot of challenges in our world.

142
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,120
The people walking in darkness see some kind of light.

143
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,000
There's a shadow of death, but a light shines upon them.

144
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,040
And then you can look at verse six and it says for unto us, here's the hope in this.

145
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Here's the light shining in the darkness unto us.

146
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,320
A child is born; unto us,

147
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,720
A son is given and the government will be upon his shoulder and his name will be called

148
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:30,480
wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace.

149
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,400
We could do sermons, series of sermons on each one of those titles of God.

150
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,440
And yet that is the promise that God's people got.

151
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,160
And yet they cried out, how long?

152
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Stay in Isaiah and let's go to Isaiah chapter 40.

153
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,440
We're just looking at different promises that the people of God had received.

154
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Isaiah 40 and verse one, the prophet writes comfort.

155
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,120
Yes, comfort my people says your God.

156
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,480
And then we can skip down to verse three and it says the voice of one crying in the wilderness,

157
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:14,360
prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

158
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:20,360
And verse five, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together

159
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,120
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken over and over and over.

160
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Promises were given to the people of God.

161
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,120
And we can read them all here, you know, in five minutes.

162
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:42,920
But as I said, this was over a vast expanse of time from Genesis to Moses to Isaiah, hundreds

163
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,640
and hundreds of years.

164
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,960
And the people can cry out, how long?

165
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,160
Let's go to Malachi chapter three.

166
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Look at one more passage here in the Old Testament, Malachi chapter three, the very last book

167
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,560
of the Old Testament.

168
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:06,880
Malachi chapter three, and we're going to look at verse one.

169
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,360
It says, behold, I send my messenger.

170
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,560
Now the name Malachi, the word Malachi means my messenger.

171
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,840
So it's a little bit of a play on words here.

172
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,880
I send my messenger and he will prepare the way before me.

173
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:28,280
The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant

174
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,320
in whom you delight.

175
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,040
Behold he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.

176
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,640
There's a promise there.

177
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,440
The messenger is going to come.

178
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,540
He's going to show up.

179
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:41,280
He's going to show up in the temple.

180
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,280
He's coming.

181
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,280
I promise it.

182
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Behold he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.

183
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:53,720
Now turn over to Malachi chapter five, Malachi chapter five.

184
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Malachi chapter, does your Malachi chapter five look like this?

185
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,080
Malachi only has four chapters.

186
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,080
That was kind of a trick.

187
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,080
I apologize.

188
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Malachi chapter five in my Bible is just a blank page.

189
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,040
It's between the Old Testament and the New Testament.

190
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,000
But that blank page represents about 400 years.

191
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
There's 400 years of silence that takes place between the Old Testament and the stories

192
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,900
that begin the New Testament, the gospels, the nativity story that we read at this time

193
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:31,080
of year.

194
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,640
400 years of silence.

195
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:40,400
400 years where the promises remain, but nothing else is happening.

196
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,520
You know how long 400 years is?

197
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Now two weeks ago when I was here, we talked about the pilgrims on Thanksgiving Sabbath.

198
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,640
That was 400 years ago.

199
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,720
400 years ago was when the pilgrims were celebrating the first Thanksgiving.

200
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,280
That's older than our nation is.

201
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,880
And there was this time of silence.

202
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:09,000
But during this silence of this time in between the Testament, there was things happening

203
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,100
in other kingdoms, in other nations.

204
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:19,400
You can go to history and you can read about a young man who was born in Macedonia.

205
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,760
His father's name was Philip Alexander.

206
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:28,660
We usually have a little tag that we put at the end of his name, Alexander the Great.

207
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:35,440
So he rose to power in Greece and he conquered the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea.

208
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,720
He spread like a lightning bolt from Greece to Persia to the rivers of India, this whole

209
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,920
vast region.

210
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,800
He even conquered what we call the Holy Land, although it's hardly even mentioned.

211
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,720
But then Alexander the Great, like a lightning bolt, flashes out.

212
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,800
Anybody remember how old he was when he died?

213
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:57,920
He was 33.

214
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:58,920
He was so young.

215
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:05,640
He had done all this by the age of 33 and that was about 300 BC.

216
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,360
There were other leaders in other lands.

217
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,640
There was a young man named Octavius.

218
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,220
He was the grand nephew.

219
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,320
His great uncle was Julius Caesar.

220
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,880
And Octavius actually became the adopted heir of Julius Caesar so that when Julius Caesar

221
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,200
died he received that power eventually and became known as Caesar Augustus.

222
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,320
That's who he was known as.

223
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,660
He became the sole ruler of Rome.

224
00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:48,120
He was called by, and apologize for my Latin, Divi Philius, which means son of God.

225
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640
He was called the son of God.

226
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:56,760
And as he ruled, he brought to Rome something called the Pax Romana, the Peace of Rome,

227
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
which spread throughout this vast region.

228
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:05,880
He even ruled over Judea and he shows up in the Christmas story because he's the one who

229
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,240
issued the census that brought Mary and Joseph.

230
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,720
He helped fulfill prophecy, you could say, because of that census is why Mary and Joseph

231
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,600
ended up in Bethlehem for Jesus to be born there.

232
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,320
And so there were kings and armies ruling in other countries, but for the people of

233
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:33,280
God, the promises of hope were still unfulfilled and they could still cry out, how long?

234
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Now let's turn to Galatians chapter four, our scripture reading of the day.

235
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Thank you for reading that.

236
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,240
That was well done.

237
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:46,440
Galatians chapter four, because the cry of God's people was how long, but we see that

238
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,800
God was right on time.

239
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
God was not delayed.

240
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,320
God was not hindered.

241
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,480
God was right on time.

242
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,640
So Galatians chapter four, we're going to read a couple of verses here.

243
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:03,240
It says, but when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth his son, born of

244
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:09,040
a woman, born under the law to redeem those who were under the law that we might receive

245
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
the adoption as sons.

246
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:18,400
The NIV, if you have the NIV, it says when the set time had fully come, when the time

247
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,600
was perfect, when the time was right, God sent forth his son to be born of a woman,

248
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,200
to be born in the place at the right time.

249
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,560
The fullness of the time had come and Jesus was born at the right time.

250
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,960
He was born at the right time.

251
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,780
Historians look at it and say it was the perfect time socially for Jesus to be born because

252
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:45,320
of that vast area that Rome ruled.

253
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,080
Everybody spoke the same language.

254
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,440
They could communicate this message of the gospel.

255
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,800
Once it started to spread, it could go to that whole region because there was a common

256
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,960
language.

257
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,560
There was this great transportation that took place through that Roman empire.

258
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,940
They could sail ships across the Mediterranean Sea.

259
00:18:05,940 --> 00:18:12,280
That piece of Rome, you could go, you didn't have to cross battlefields or into enemy

260
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,800
territory.

261
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,640
There's even a saying that we still use today.

262
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:25,040
Allll roads lead to Rome because they had such good roads, not Rome, Georgia, but there's

263
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,160
still roads built way back then that are still in use.

264
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,040
Yet we wonder how long is the interstate going to be paved before it has a pothole in it,

265
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,640
before they have to shut down a lane again to repair that.

266
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,860
Jesus was born at the right time socially, the right time politically, and the right

267
00:18:44,860 --> 00:18:46,960
time prophetically.

268
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:52,320
We're not going to get into all the details, but if you read Daniel 7, 8, and 9, those

269
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:58,280
prophecies pinpoint that time when Jesus was going to be baptized and crucified.

270
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,200
Then it had to recognize when he was going to be born.

271
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Now we know.

272
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,520
We know the answer to the question, how long?

273
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,760
When the people of God cry out, how long?

274
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,720
We can look back.

275
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,240
We have the benefit of hindsight.

276
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Over the next few weeks, we'll probably recite and retell the story of the baby born in Bethlehem,

277
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,360
the angels singing Gloria in Excelsis Deo.

278
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:33,000
But for the people of God, for thousands of years, the story was about waiting.

279
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,840
But that event has taken place.

280
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,600
The angels sang, the angels came, the birth of Jesus has come and gone.

281
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600
Jesus was born as a baby.

282
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,080
He lived a perfect life.

283
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,880
And then the reason for him coming, he died on the cross for our sins.

284
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,800
Salvation is one.

285
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:03,840
And yet it seems like maybe here we are again in this time of waiting.

286
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:09,920
This time of year, perhaps more than others, is about waiting.

287
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Maybe you have something like this somewhere in your household.

288
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,080
Got 25 numbers.

289
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,640
And so each day maybe you got to move this guy because today is the ninth, right?

290
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,840
And you're counting down to Christmas.

291
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,640
Anybody have something like this somewhere in your house?

292
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Maybe you've got the Lego version.

293
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,280
You open up the door and there's some Legos to build or some chocolates to put together.

294
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,280
We even have, let's see if I can get it out of my pocket, a little ornament.

295
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,120
Uh oh.

296
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:47,680
Here we go.

297
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,160
So you move the little thing.

298
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Okay, the night.

299
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:57,400
And we have just reminders as we're counting down because we're waiting.

300
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,580
We're looking for something.

301
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:04,840
But then you know, once Christmas comes, there's going to be more waiting because one week

302
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:10,640
later now we're not counting down days so much, but we find ourselves on December 31

303
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:16,560
and we're counting down hours and minutes and then even seconds 10, 9, 8 until you know,

304
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,960
maybe there's fireworks or you give somebody a kiss on New Year's Eve as we switch to a

305
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,880
new calendar.

306
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,880
And then what?

307
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,900
There's always something else to be waiting for next year.

308
00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:31,920
Is it your birthday?

309
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,660
Anybody graduating this year?

310
00:21:33,660 --> 00:21:40,640
We start counting down to those big events, whatever they are, and we find ourselves over

311
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:48,800
and over, always waiting, always wondering what's next, always saying how long that poet

312
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,400
Tom Petty says the waiting is the hardest part.

313
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:58,280
And that's what we often find ourselves doing because now we are waiting for the second

314
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,840
coming.

315
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,080
We're waiting for God to work in our heart, to work in our life.

316
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:11,280
In Matthew chapter 5, it starts off that sermon on the mount with the Beatitudes.

317
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:17,360
Remember those blessed are, happy are, and it describes different people.

318
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:21,240
Blessed are those who mourn.

319
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,880
Happy are the poor in spirit.

320
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,080
Happy are those who are persecuted.

321
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,520
Those aren't things that people are typically happy about.

322
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:39,160
They're not happy about those things now, but they're waiting for something in the future

323
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,800
and they're saying, how long?

324
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,580
God, how long is it going to be?

325
00:22:43,580 --> 00:22:49,360
And then these days, these weeks before Christmas, it's often referred to the season of Advent,

326
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:50,680
and it's about waiting.

327
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,280
It's about looking forward to something else.

328
00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:00,800
And we see that waiting is a part of life and God allows and even welcomes those questions

329
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,000
of how long.

330
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,960
We don't always understand the timing, but we do recognize that those promises remain

331
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,940
and those waiting, those moments of waiting bring anticipation, just like opening the

332
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:20,500
door on the Advent calendar, just to see what little prize is going to be there for that

333
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:26,960
day because as we wait, we're looking forward to what God has in store for us.

334
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,760
So think about in your own life, what has your year been like?

335
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,800
2023.

336
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,220
Think back 12 months.

337
00:23:36,220 --> 00:23:37,800
How has your year been?

338
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,040
What has happened in your year?

339
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Perhaps there's been uncertainty, confusion.

340
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,360
We can never be certain of what God has in store for us until it comes to pass.

341
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,920
We don't always recognize that God is near.

342
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:04,260
Perhaps you've taken moments and you've read the pages of scripture, but just there's seasons

343
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:06,320
where nothing seems to connect.

344
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Or maybe you've sung songs, but it just seems like, okay, nothing's making a difference.

345
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,880
Maybe you've even spent time in prayer and it seems like the prayers are just bouncing

346
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,760
off the ceiling and coming back and not making a difference.

347
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:31,880
But we keep at it and we can ask God as the people of God throughout time, we can say,

348
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,920
God, how long?

349
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,440
And we can give thanks for the promises that we have been given.

350
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:45,120
And as we cry out to God, as we continue to serve Him, believe it or not, sometimes God

351
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,480
does show up.

352
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,720
And maybe one day out of the blue, you're reading your Bible just because that's what

353
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,520
you do, even though it doesn't seem to be making any difference.

354
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:03,320
But one day something hits you and you're reading God's word and there's some tears

355
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,280
in your eyes.

356
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,960
Maybe one day you're singing in the car, your song's playing and suddenly you're singing

357
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:17,120
at the top of your lungs and you get goosebumps because that song about praising God is suddenly

358
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:20,640
becoming real in your life.

359
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,540
And one day maybe you're just doing your prayer, just going through the motions because that's

360
00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:26,360
what we do.

361
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,280
But one day it hits.

362
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:36,800
One day suddenly you sense the presence of God through a peace and a still small voice

363
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,540
because we've been waiting and that waiting is based on faith and that waiting is based

364
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:45,240
on the hope of God's promises.

365
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Turn back to Psalm 13.

366
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,520
We started there today, but I want to go back there.

367
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,720
Psalm 13, that 13th Psalm.

368
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:03,720
It starts off as we read earlier with that cry, how long, oh Lord, will you forget me

369
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,960
forever?

370
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,880
How long will you hide your face from me?

371
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:13,000
How long, how long will my enemy be exalted over me?

372
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,700
But if we skip down, that's a cry of despair, but if we skip down to verse five, notice

373
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:21,320
what David says there.

374
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,160
He says, but I have trusted in your mercy.

375
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,280
My heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

376
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,960
I will sing to the Lord because he has dealt bountifully with me.

377
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,200
Even though we don't always see God at work, we can keep singing, we can keep praising.

378
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:48,240
And even when we, we sense this passing of time, we recognize that God is with us.

379
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,240
Let's go over to second Peter.

380
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,680
This is our last verse we'll go to today.

381
00:26:52,680 --> 00:27:01,400
Second Peter chapter three, because we wonder, you know, why, how long, what's going on?

382
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,800
Second Peter three, verse eight, it says, just remember, you know, one day with the

383
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,640
Lord, this is a thousand years, a thousand years, this is one day.

384
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:17,880
But then notice verse nine, it says, the Lord is not slack concerning his promise.

385
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Which of God's promises is your favorite?

386
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,200
Is it the promise of the second coming, the promise of forgiveness, the promise of the

387
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:31,000
cross, the promise of healing, the promise of Emmanuel, God with us, which of God's promises

388
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,240
is your favorite?

389
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,880
It says the Lord is not slack concerning his promise.

390
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,880
He's not slow as some count slackness, but he is long suffering.

391
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:47,840
He is patient toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come

392
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280
to repentance.

393
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,880
How long?

394
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:57,520
When the fullness of the time has come, God sent forth his son.

395
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,960
And we have the promise, we have the assurance that when the fullness of the time comes again,

396
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,800
that same son who was born as a baby is going to come in the clouds of glory to take us

397
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,080
back to live with him forever and ever.

398
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:17,000
The Lord does not want any to perish, but wants each one of us to repent, wants each

399
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
one of us to come to him.

400
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,180
Jesus comes just in time.

401
00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:32,160
This season teaches us to wait in anticipation, in expectation, to wait through the silence,

402
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,960
to wait in hope of the promise.

403
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:41,160
I recently read a book about Apollo 8, it was called Rocket Men.

404
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Now just be aware I'm a little bit of a space junkie, so I like following NASA and all the

405
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,640
space stuff.

406
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:55,960
And so Apollo 8, you may remember that Apollo 11 was the first one that Neil Armstrong walked

407
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,400
on the moon.

408
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:04,800
And so a couple, one year before that, at the end of 1968, Apollo 8 was the first flight

409
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,240
to take humanity out of Earth's orbit.

410
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,000
There had been the ships had gone up, they had orbited Earth, but Apollo 8 was the first

411
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,640
one to go to the moon.

412
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,080
It didn't land on the moon, but it circled the moon and orbited the moon.

413
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,200
Now Apollo 8 was not supposed to do that.

414
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:28,120
Apollo 8 was supposed to stay in Earth's orbit, but they were very worried that the Russians

415
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,920
were going to launch their ship and beat them to orbit the moon.

416
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,600
And so they kind of skipped a few safety steps, and a couple months before they said let's

417
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
change this mission, let's send this one to the moon.

418
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,960
And so they didn't quite have all that they needed for safety, but they went for it anyway.

419
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:54,680
And so some of you may remember, I don't remember it, but 1968, as I've read about it in history,

420
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,960
was not a good year in the history of our country.

421
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,000
In 1968 there was a war going on in Vietnam.

422
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,080
There were protests about that war.

423
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,840
There were two assassinations that took place.

424
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,400
Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were both assassinated during that year.

425
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,500
It was not a good year in society.

426
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:27,880
But on December 21, I think that's 55 years ago if my math is correct, December 21, Apollo

427
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,360
8 launched.

428
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,480
Three astronauts, Frank Borman, James Lovell, William Anders, they launched, they circled

429
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,840
the Earth, they hit the button, flipped the switch, whatever they did, the rockets pushed

430
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,680
them further, and they left Earth's orbit, and they began to circle the moon.

431
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:51,020
Now Apollo 8 is famous for two things, besides all that that I already mentioned.

432
00:30:51,020 --> 00:30:58,780
The first thing they're famous for is a picture called Earthrise.

433
00:30:58,780 --> 00:31:04,200
They were there taking pictures of the moon, looking at the craters, trying to line up

434
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,520
where the landing site would be down the road a little bit.

435
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:14,760
But as they were taking pictures of the moon, they looked up and they saw Earthrise.

436
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:22,440
They were the first ones to see the Earth rising behind the horizon of the moon.

437
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,160
And so they took that picture, and that's one of the most published pictures of all

438
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,760
time right there.

439
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,160
They went to study the moon, but they learned about Earth, they learned about humanity,

440
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:40,080
they learned that we're all on this planet together, we're in the same place even though

441
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,040
we're different, we're still the same, we're on this planet.

442
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,680
The other thing they're famous for was something that took place, they launched on December

443
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:57,040
21, but on December 24, Christmas Eve, there was a plan to have a broadcast that would

444
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:03,640
be throughout the nation and perhaps even the world, a Christmas Eve broadcast from

445
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,560
the orbit of the moon.

446
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:12,440
People wondered, what would these three men say from the orbit of the moon?

447
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:18,440
And NASA didn't tell them what to say, they got to choose what they would say.

448
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:24,960
And I think we're going to listen to it if we've got the sound set up appropriately.

449
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,880
We're going to try, if not I'll read what they said, but spoiler, turn to Genesis chapter

450
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,280
1 and you'll see exactly what they said.

451
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:52,160
So we're going to see if this works, broadcast from the moon in 1968.

452
00:32:52,160 --> 00:33:02,840
Well let me try that again, it didn't look like it played did it?

453
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:09,560
Okay I'll read what they said.

454
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:17,520
I think when I shifted it over to the Google, maybe it didn't play the video.

455
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:23,200
Okay sorry about that, we should have tested that before, that was my fault.

456
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:30,880
You've got the cheat sheet there, you can see what they did, you got the spoiler, but

457
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,520
let me read it for you, because they had a little preview.

458
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:42,400
If I can find it here, here we go.

459
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,600
We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on earth, the crew

460
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,160
of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.

461
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:57,720
And then they begin to read from Genesis 1, in the beginning God created the heaven and

462
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,400
the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of

463
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,760
the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, and God said, let

464
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,840
there be light, and there was light.

465
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,960
And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.

466
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,800
And then the next astronaut spoke, and God called the light day and the darkness he called

467
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,160
night and the evening and the morning were the first day.

468
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,040
And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide

469
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,780
the waters from the waters.

470
00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:36,920
And God called the firmament heaven and the evening and the morning were the second day.

471
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,100
And the third astronaut spoke, and God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered

472
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:46,100
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so.

473
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:50,400
And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters called the

474
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,440
seas, and God saw that it was good.

475
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,480
And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, and Merry Christmas.

476
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,120
And God bless all of you, all of you on the good earth.

477
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:13,280
And so on Christmas Eve 1968, of that awful year, that was broadcast to the United States,

478
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:20,680
and that was broadcast to the world, and one billion people heard the word of God spoken.

479
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Even in communist Russia, they heard that.

480
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:30,120
One billion people were reminded of the creative power of God throughout the world.

481
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:37,380
Now this astronaut crew, as they arrived safely back home, they got many telegrams and congratulations

482
00:35:37,380 --> 00:35:42,920
and different things like that, but they got one telegram, and it said, thank you, Apollo

483
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,960
8, you saved 1968.

484
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,400
In the midst of that challenge, in the midst of that strife, in the midst of that troubled

485
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,680
year, when people could say, how long, what is going on in our world, there was a group

486
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:05,580
of people who used the word of God to draw people's attention to the Savior of the world.

487
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:12,280
And here we are in a world of chaos, and we can say how long, and yet we can recognize

488
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,360
God is at work in our life, and that God is coming again.

489
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,920
We're going to close in just a moment with number 204, but let's bow our heads for a

490
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,920
word of prayer.

491
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,120
Dear God, we thank you so much for all that you do, and Lord, sometimes we cry out and

492
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:35,960
wonder how long, what's going on in this world, and yet we have the promises, we have all

493
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:41,560
that you have laid out before us that we're waiting for, and we know that when the time

494
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,600
is right, those prophecies will be fulfilled.

495
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,520
In your name we pray, amen.
