We continue our study of the Davidic Covenant

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:06.080
All right, last two weeks, I think it's been two

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.720
weeks we have been working on well, it's been longer.

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.199
Then we took a little break and then we came

4
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:11.759
back to it.

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.919
We've been dealing with David's the covenant God made with David,

6
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.120
or the Dividic Covenant.

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:17.879
Now.

8
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.640
I listened to last week and it seems like when

9
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.120
we were doing review from the week before, there was

10
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.800
some some problems or things that may not have been remembered.

11
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.519
So I'm going to go through some of this relatively quick.

12
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.880
Hopefully we will have at least some of this stuff

13
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.799
we've reviewed now for two weeks down on the third week,

14
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.920
and then we can try to finish this up. But

15
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.960
the main passage of scripture for God's Covenant with David,

16
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.560
if everyone remembers, is Second Samuel, chapter seven, verses twelve

17
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.079
through sixteen. Second Samuel, Chapter twelve versus Second Samuel, Chapter seven,

18
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.840
verses twelve through sixteen. So if you want to make

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.799
sure you have that open so that you can make

20
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.399
reference to it. Remember, David desired to build a temple

21
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.159
for the Lord to replace the temporary tent like tabernacle,

22
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.079
since David himself lived in a House of Cedar. It

23
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.120
seemed only fitting that there'll be a more permanent building

24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.000
for the worship of God. But God revealed to Nathan

25
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.840
the prophet that he had something far greater in mind

26
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.040
for David, and that revelation is the Davidic Covenant.

27
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.200
Remember the way Ryory put it. I talked about this.

28
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.000
The last two weeks that it's very interesting that the

29
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.959
way Ryri describes it as, Hey, David wanted to do this,

30
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.040
but God had something.

31
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:35.120
Greater for David.

32
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.000
Because the way most preachers handle it is David wanted

33
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.599
to do it, but because of David's sin, David wasn't

34
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.719
allowed to do it, right, And so, and we talked

35
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.040
about some of the problems with that perspective because people

36
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.319
will say, well, David was facing consequences, and we'll look,

37
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.640
We'll wait a minute, and then that will extrapolate from

38
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.799
that and then try to implement, you know, consequences on

39
00:01:58.879 --> 00:01:59.439
other people.

40
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.079
And a couple of issues with it.

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.200
First, David wasn't allowed to build the temple. And if

42
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.280
you say it's because of sin, who did get to

43
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:07.000
build the temple?

44
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.039
Okay? Right? Who had far greater sin?

45
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.199
Right, at least numerically speaking, right, and not only that

46
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.800
David is given. If the consequences are so bad that

47
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.120
David can't build the temple, you think, then God wouldn't

48
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.479
have used David to do what write scripture or here

49
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.360
the novel idea, would not have made the covenant with

50
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.680
him because Solomon built the temple, and what happened to

51
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.199
that temple it was destroyed.

52
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.479
What happened to the covenant God made with David, it's

53
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:42.520
forever right.

54
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.240
So clearly David gets the better end of the deal

55
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.560
from a human perspective.

56
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.039
Okay, So so just keep that in mind. We spend

57
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:49.759
a lot of time with that.

58
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.879
Now, say again, Second Samuel seven twelve through sixteen, we

59
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.800
looked at the promises related to David.

60
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.360
Two main promises related to David. You can look at.

61
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.199
Verse twelve and verse sixteen for these two promises. What

62
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:08.439
was the first promise to David Second Samuel seven to twelve. Yeah,

63
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.360
he would have a son who would succeed him. So

64
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.039
we called this promise the promise of descendants. He would

65
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.039
have a son who would succeed him and establish his kingdom.

66
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.159
That's the second Samuel seven to twelve. Second, All right, yes,

67
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.639
that's the kingdom, David's house, throne and kingdom would be

68
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:27.879
established and what's the.

69
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.680
Key word, forever? However, the covenant did not guarantee.

70
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.080
Uninterrupted rule by David's family, though it did promise the

71
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.120
right to rule would have remained with David's dynasty. The

72
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.879
Babyloni kept the captivity did of course interrupt the Davidic rule.

73
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.840
But still it's a promise for ever, all right. So

74
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.199
those were the promises related to David. Now this is

75
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.039
where we had a little problem last week, the promises

76
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.039
related to Solomon.

77
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.039
All right.

78
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.000
Look at verse thirteen, the first part of verse thirteen,

79
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.400
Second Samuel seven, Verse.

80
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.759
Thirteen, the very first part of it. What does it say?

81
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.919
What's the promise here? Okay?

82
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.439
And who is that referencing that Solomon rather than David

83
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.519
would build the temple?

84
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:18.040
All right?

85
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.879
So the first promise related to Solomon is the temple

86
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.240
right thirteen B or the second part of verse thirteen,

87
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.040
all right, the throne of Solomon's kingdom would be established forever.

88
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.199
Please note that forever forever as it relates to the kingdom,

89
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.240
not to the temple, but as it relates to the kingdom.

90
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:48.000
There was a forever aspect then verses fourteen through fifteen. Okay,

91
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.279
well continue verse fourteen fifteen. Yeah, he will be chasing

92
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:56.639
for his sins, but not deposed.

93
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.279
Right, everybody see that, So that's.

94
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.199
Already anticipated the Solomon would commit sin. Right, So meaning

95
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.199
God is establishing a covenant with people who are sinners

96
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.240
and he already knows they're going to sin. Now, remember

97
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.480
this leads to a lot of philological discussion. I don't

98
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.399
want to I don't want to get too sidetracked because

99
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.240
I want to finish the dividic covenant today.

100
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:21.639
Just remember number one.

101
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.480
If God makes a covenant with anyone, what is absolutely

102
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.920
guaranteed is going to happen with the people who mix

103
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.920
a covenant with they will sin. If God supposedly chooses

104
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.319
someone for salvation, what is absolutely guaranteed about the people

105
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.519
he chooses for salvation?

106
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.079
They're going to still sin. Right.

107
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.879
If God chooses a nation, what is absolutely guaranteed about

108
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.079
the nation he chooses, they're sin If he chooses someone

109
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.079
for ministry.

110
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.360
What is absolutely guaranteed will happen? They're going to sin? Right?

111
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:51.639
Because sin is.

112
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.920
Universal, it is perpetual, it is constant, it is frequent,

113
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.000
it is it's just a reality and now and so

114
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.240
then the question would then the obvious question would be

115
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.519
could God fix that?

116
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.680
Yeah? What could he do? Well? He could remove he can. First,

117
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.839
he could remove the sinful nature. Okay, yeah, he could

118
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.319
do that, right And a lot of times Christians talk

119
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.639
like he does, but he doesn't. Right now.

120
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.040
That raises all kinds of philological questions. Why then does

121
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:30.480
he not remove the sinful nature?

122
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.000
I don't know.

123
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.519
In fact, his real way of solving the problem, at

124
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.839
least on this on earth, in this life, is to

125
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.879
do wide, not to remove the sinful nature, but to

126
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:50.000
impute righteousness to sinners who still sin, which is a

127
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.519
convoluted like from a human perspective.

128
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.759
Even Christians struggle with that. We don't like that concept, right,

129
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.480
we don't like that concept. We want we want that.

130
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.959
This week on the Do What No, Well, even.

131
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.000
Christians have a hard time wrapping their mind around it

132
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.879
because even as much as they claim they believe in

133
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.480
imputed righteousness, they don't like it.

134
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.480
This week, the last couple of days on the podcast.

135
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.839
It's all been about Charles Finny, Charles Finny, Charles Finny,

136
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.480
Charles Finny, Charles Finny, Charles Finny and Charles Finny. You know,

137
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.959
many churches, whether they like it or not, they've been

138
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.319
influenced with Finny's ideas about revival. Well, Charles Finny was

139
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.199
a lost man. Charles Finny is in hell. Charles Finny

140
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.360
was a heretic. Charles Finny. There was nothing Christian about

141
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.680
Charles Finny. I mean, his theology is so abhorrent it's

142
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.279
not even funny. He did not believe in substitutionary atonement,

143
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.040
did not believe in penal substitution, did not believe in

144
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.480
salvation by an imputed righteousness with a full blown Pallagian.

145
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.519
I could go on and on and on and on

146
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.839
and on. Okay, so he was a mess. Right.

147
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.720
However, churches everywhere you know, are influenced by his thinking

148
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.040
when it comes to revival. Now here's what's the weird

149
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.920
thing is many people, in fact, I've been listening to

150
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.839
sermons all this week on Finny, and they will condemn Finny.

151
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.600
Outright, that is, theology is bad.

152
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.120
But then when they start talking about salvation, they will

153
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.040
sound like Finny. Because Finny basically believe unless you basically

154
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.920
stop sinning, you're not saved.

155
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.480
You have to keep the law in order to be saved.

156
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.040
Well, the preachers will say, what, you don't have to

157
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:23.120
keep the law in order to be saved, but you

158
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.480
will basically keep the law if you are saved, meaning

159
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.319
you have to keep the law in order to be saved.

160
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.240
And well that almost.

161
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.480
Requires that's the same thing, right, yeah, exactly.

162
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:39.679
Well that's pretty much Christianity today. And if you call

163
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.240
that into question, then you'll be labeled the heretic. It's

164
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.799
like that's the problem.

165
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.600
So it's very important to understand how these things can

166
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.399
play out. God chose people who were what sinners. He

167
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.759
knew they were going to sin, yet he still made

168
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.120
the promise with them because the promise was based on

169
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:06.679
what God's character, God's faithfulness, not man's.

170
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.000
God does not save us.

171
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.919
Everyone takes the idea that He's gonna save us to

172
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:13.960
make us something.

173
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.279
He saves us as really a trophy of what.

174
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.440
His grace, not so much his transformative power, because the

175
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:27.600
transformative power is seen where and glorification. Now everyone thinks

176
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:31.200
it's seen now, but every what you know, Ah, we

177
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.919
can get into a whole discussion there, but just remember

178
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.960
verses fourteen and fifteen. God knows Solomon's going to sin.

179
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.279
Punishment is spoken of. But what will not happen? He

180
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.360
will not be deposed?

181
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.960
Right, you're right? Remember that? Okay? All right? Then, so

182
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.960
does that get everything and concept? We got all of that,

183
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:53.399
all right? Great?

184
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.320
Now we started looking at Old Testament confirmation of the covenant,

185
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.600
all right. Now, there were a number of psalms given.

186
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.720
Sometimes these are referred to as basically the way ry

187
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.639
Rey puts it, all Old Testament passages that describe the

188
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.879
Messiah as king and his coming kingdom confirm the promises of.

189
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:15.919
The Dividic Covenant.

190
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.559
All the royal psalms, for example, give more information about

191
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.200
the devidic kingdom. Now he gives a list of these

192
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.879
royal psalms. I'm gonna argue, if you look at some

193
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:27.600
of them, some of them I don't feel.

194
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.600
I don't really know what he's using them for. Which

195
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.519
psalm did we.

196
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.200
Look at eighty nine? So let's go to Psalm eighty nine.

197
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:41.360
We will look at this one, Psalm eighty nine, because

198
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.639
this one had the greatest potential of giving us some things, right,

199
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:52.960
Psalm eighty nine, tell me when you're there, all right?

200
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.519
Sam eighty nine Verse three is where we started, right,

201
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.480
and it says I have made a covenant with my

202
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:04.320
chosen I have sworn to my servant David. So we

203
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.399
now we know who the chosen one is. It's David,

204
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.039
right now. It is David, chosen because he's more godly

205
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:12.919
than everyone else. No, he's chosen because God decided to

206
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.200
choose him. Right.

207
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.320
Did he know David would do all the things David did? Yes?

208
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:24.519
All right, your seed, I will establish verse four forever

209
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.840
and build upon your throne to all generations. All right,

210
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.240
So there's this promise. Now we could continue reading. Look

211
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.679
down to verse Rari wants us to look at Versus

212
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:38.759
starting in verse nineteen.

213
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.039
All right, verse nineteen. Are we there? Okay?

214
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.799
Then you spoke in a vision to your holy One

215
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.679
and said, I have given help to one who is mighty.

216
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.159
I've exalted one chosen from the people. I have found

217
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:01.320
my servant David. So once again this is about the

218
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.279
dividic covenant, right all right. With my holy oil, I

219
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:11.240
have anointed him with whom my hands shall be established.

220
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.720
My arm shall strengthen him.

221
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.759
The enemy shall not outwit him, nor the son of

222
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.200
wickedness afflict him. I will beat down the foes before

223
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.840
his face, and plague those who hate him. Now before

224
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.559
we go on, Remember we had a big discussion about this.

225
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:34.000
When we talk about pray. Right in the Old Testament,

226
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.639
the prayers that are recorded are typically are almost all

227
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.639
of them are prayers of whom Jewish people, people who

228
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:43.639
are part of Israel.

229
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:44.120
Yes.

230
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.679
And remember in these covenants are there not very specific

231
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.240
promises made to Israel. Yes, And in any cases those

232
00:12:54.279 --> 00:13:02.559
promises involve what type of things land, provision, protection, and

233
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:07.120
the destruction of their enemies. So if they pray in

234
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.919
that line or that type of prayer, they are not

235
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.240
praying in a way that would violate God's sovereignty or will.

236
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.480
It would be perfectly.

237
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.279
They're praying in accordance to what has been revealed. And

238
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.399
remember we cannot do what take our concepts of prayer

239
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.360
from that, because those covenants.

240
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.039
Are not made with us. All right, Remember we made

241
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.639
I made a big deal out of that.

242
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.159
Okay, all right, look and then continue reading verse twenty four.

243
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.000
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him?

244
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.519
All right? What two things are going to be with David?

245
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.480
Who's faithfulness, God's faithfulness and God's mercy. What do we

246
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:56.960
all need God's faithfulness because we tend to be unfaithful,

247
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.159
And what else do we need mercy?

248
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.240
Because we all constantly do what sin all right?

249
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.080
And my name his horn shall be exalted. Also I

250
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:08.720
will set.

251
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.399
His hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.

252
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:12.879
He shall cry to me, you are.

253
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.440
My Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

254
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.759
I will make him my first born, the highest of

255
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.159
the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep

256
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.919
for him forever, and my covenant shall stand firm with

257
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.559
him his seat. Also I will make to endure forever,

258
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.639
and his throne.

259
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:34.919
As the days of heaven. Those are very strong words.

260
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:35.480
Are they not.

261
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.159
Continue reading verse thirty If his son's forsake my law

262
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.720
and do not walk in my judgments, if they break

263
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.960
my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I

264
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:49.879
will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity

265
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.519
with stripes.

266
00:14:50.559 --> 00:15:00.639
Nevertheless, my loving kindness I will not thirty three.

267
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:10.399
Nevertheless, my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him. Now,

268
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.919
why is it verse thirty three so critical to the

269
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:23.759
dividic covenant? Sin will not do what sin will not

270
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.720
throw away the covenant. It does not do what it

271
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.759
does not discontinue the Covenant. It does not remove the covenant. Now,

272
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:38.559
why is this so important eschatology?

273
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:39.480
Right?

274
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.879
Because the dividic Covenant has a lot to do with Israel,

275
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.960
do we yes correct?

276
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:45.000
Right now?

277
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.120
That means whenever we have this language that you can't

278
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.559
come along and say, well, Israel didn't keep the covenant,

279
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.759
so therefore what God has done with Israel and replaced

280
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.759
it with the Church, we cannot say that.

281
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.480
We cannot do.

282
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.639
That because God's promise for the Covenant is even if

283
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.559
they sin, He's going to do what He's going to

284
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.480
remain faithful. Again, look at verse thirty three is key. Nevertheless,

285
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.200
my loving kindness, I will not utterly take from him,

286
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.960
nor allow my faithfulness to.

287
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.600
Fail my covenant.

288
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:18.159
Verse thirty four.

289
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.080
God will not violate as covenant. Okay, do you see

290
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.960
that my covenant?

291
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.639
I will not break nor alter the word that has

292
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.600
gone out of my lips. It doesn't matter what Israel does.

293
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:38.000
God is not going to do that.

294
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:38.919
Verse thirty five.

295
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.200
Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not

296
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.600
lie to David. His seed shall endure forever, his throne

297
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.320
as the sun before me. It shall be established forever

298
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.120
like the moon, even like the faithful witness in the sky. Now,

299
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.159
what does verse thirty seven sound very similar to verse

300
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.279
thirty seven? Should should remind you of a very important

301
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:11.079
section involved in another covenant, the Jeremiah thirty one. Everybody

302
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.200
look at Jeremiah thirty one and find that the verses

303
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:17.279
that sound similar to that. They're not exact, but there

304
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:31.119
is a similarity. There's a connection. Jeremiah thirty one. He's

305
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:34.680
going to make a new covenant. I like the covenants

306
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.279
I'm met with your father, the covenants made with the

307
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.359
House of Israel and the House of Judah.

308
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:45.880
And then he talks about does he not talk about sun, moon, stars.

309
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:59.599
Verse thirty five? What does he says?

310
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.319
All right, so kiss what as long as the sun,

311
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.480
moon and stars are there?

312
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:16.319
Israel is a nation before God. Now why is that important?

313
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.599
Because you could have said, well, Israel was they didn't exist,

314
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.480
but they still existed where.

315
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.640
Before God.

316
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.680
And God made a promise with them that he.

317
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.200
Would do what.

318
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.839
Restore them, bring them back, make a new covenant with them,

319
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.759
give them the land, and give them the promises.

320
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.640
So therefore that promise the sun, moon and stars is

321
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.480
a constant reminder of what Israel is still a nation

322
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.240
before God. So you can't just.

323
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.599
Say no, no, that that's referring to the Church. No,

324
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.759
it's referring to Israel. The same kind of language is

325
00:18:54.119 --> 00:19:00.279
there now? Ryrie says this Psalm eighty nine, which we've

326
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.240
just read, provides strong confirmation of the immutability of the Covenant.

327
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.240
It seems also as if God was anticipating Listen, this

328
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.000
is how Aari puts it. It seems as if God

329
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.640
was anticipating the all millennial claim that the Kingdom promise

330
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:20.480
should be spiritualized into the Church when he said that

331
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.960
even though chastisement for sin would come, the Covenant would

332
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.519
not be broken or altered. It's like God was already

333
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.440
The all millennial argument doesn't work.

334
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:34.200
Saw eighty nine makes it very clear.

335
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.240
That even if sin occurs, what is God not going

336
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:36.519
to do?

337
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.440
Not going to break the Covenant. So it's made.

338
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.680
It's made with David and all those promises that relate

339
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:45.519
to the nation of Israel itself.

340
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.720
Right, Does that make sense? All? Right? I cannot stress

341
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.240
that enough.

342
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.720
God was anticipating the a millennial claim that the Kingdom

343
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.079
promise would be spiritualized into the Church when he said

344
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.160
that even though chastisement for sin would come.

345
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.160
The Covenant would not be broken or altered.

346
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.319
God already knew the argument was coming, and he already

347
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:08.359
provided the scripture. There a number of passages and Isaiah

348
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.759
also predict and describe the visible earthly kingdom promised in

349
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:16.759
the Dividic Covenant. Isaiah predicted the reign of Messiah on

350
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.759
the throne of David in over his kingdom. Look at

351
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.359
Isaiah chapter nine, verse seven.

352
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.079
Tell me what you find.

353
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:24.680
There's a lot of scripture here, So we're going to

354
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:28.599
be looking at a lot. Look at Isaiah chapter nine,

355
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:42.319
verse seven. We'll start in verse six. We know this

356
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.440
passage right, very famous passage Isaiah nine to six. For

357
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:52.839
unto us, a child is born, unto us, a son

358
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.000
is given. And what's going to happen. The government will

359
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.519
be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called

360
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:07.599
wonderful counselor mighty God. Next verse everylast thing, father, or

361
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.960
the rest of the verse Prince of peace. And they

362
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:13.920
look at verse seven of the increase of his government

363
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.519
and peace.

364
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.759
There will be no end upon the throne.

365
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.480
Of David and over his kingdom to order it, establish

366
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:24.839
it with justice from justice. From that time forward even forever.

367
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.880
The zill of the Lord of Host will perform this.

368
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.920
Now, what are your options with that verse?

369
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.480
The first let's do this.

370
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.079
How would you prove Isaiah nine, six and seven is

371
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.799
about Christ?

372
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.359
That's the first thing. How would you prove it's about Christ?

373
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:55.599
That's the first challenge. How would you prove it? Nobody

374
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.440
has an idea how you would prove that's about Christ? Okay, yeah,

375
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:02.359
find me a New Testament reference where it's clearly about Jesus.

376
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.559
It's got to be either in Matthew.

377
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:09.240
Or Luke, right. I bet you has something to do with.

378
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:14.720
The birth narratives, right, Okay, I mean we quote these

379
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:20.240
every Christmas time? Right, So I bet you that puts

380
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.319
you somewhere between Matthew one and three and Luke one

381
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.960
and three.

382
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:29.759
I'm just guessing.

383
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:35.200
If your Bibles have cross references, then I'm assuming that

384
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.839
provide you a cross reference right to the cross reference?

385
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:13.480
How about Luke one? Maybe thirty two to thirty three?

386
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:20.759
What does it say?

387
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.599
Okay, that's pretty That may not be perfect, but that's

388
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.240
pretty close.

389
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.240
Would you not agree? Okay?

390
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:31.000
I think that's pretty I mean we could probably maybe

391
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:32.400
find a couple of others, but I think.

392
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.680
That's about as close as you can get.

393
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.680
So Luke one thirty two through thirty three should get

394
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.440
us pretty.

395
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.240
Close to there, right.

396
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:46.559
Right. How about Luke two eleven. I'm just looking at

397
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:54.960
Luke okay, right, not exactly, but there's a child will

398
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.440
be born.

399
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.799
Get us somewhat close to.

400
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.839
That, right, Okay, Yeah, I think that gets us close.

401
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.200
I've got some more cross references here, but I think

402
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.599
that gets us close. So the New what we need

403
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.680
to establish is that the New Testament clearly would say

404
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.440
Isaiah nine six and seven is about Jesus.

405
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.279
Can we can we agree to that? All right? So

406
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.160
then we everyone should agree.

407
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.799
A millennialist pre millennialist, No, no, millennialist, it doesn't matter

408
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.119
what you know, well, that would be an amillennialist, post

409
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.799
millennial It doesn't matter who. Everyone can agree that Isaiah

410
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.680
nine six through seven is a prophecy about Jesus.

411
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.359
Can we say amen? Amen? Okay?

412
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:41.759
Right, then, So when we see these phrases and the

413
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.519
government will be upon his shoulder, see that in verse six,

414
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.319
and then in verse seven where it says of the

415
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.960
increase of his government and peace, there will be no

416
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.079
end upon the throne of David and over his kingdom,

417
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.640
to order it and establish it. Those phrases, you've got

418
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.799
two two options. What are your two options? And how

419
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.039
to interpret those promises, those prophecies.

420
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:08.240
You've got two options.

421
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.160
Okay, you either make it somehow this deals with the Church.

422
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.680
I'm gonna I'll give you three options. The church, right, Well,

423
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.720
you're kind of I mean, the Church is literal, but

424
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.799
you're you're replacing Israel and you're making it.

425
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.400
About the Church.

426
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.119
Two, you could say, well, this only refers to a

427
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:32.960
spiritual kingdom. He's going to rule and reign over a

428
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:38.400
spiritual kingdom. Or Three you have to acknowledge, well, however,

429
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.319
he's ruling and reigning over a spiritual kingdom, this is

430
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:46.359
also speaking of a literal kingdom right over a literal kingdom.

431
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:48.880
And if it's speaking over a literal kingdom, then what

432
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.000
are your options with it? If it's speaking of a

433
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.880
literal kingdom, what are your options?

434
00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:58.519
Okay?

435
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:00.759
Well, well, if it's a literal kingdom, we know it's

436
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.640
not now we know did it happen in the first coming?

437
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.519
No? Is that happening now? No?

438
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.559
So therefore, if it's a literal kingdom, it's got to

439
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:12.160
happen in the future, all right, so just make it

440
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.240
just just make it very It's just it's it's we

441
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.279
have to understand you're only limited with a certain number

442
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.720
of options. There, we know that didn't happen. Literally right now.

443
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.519
We can say this, how did the Jews at the.

444
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.559
Time of Jesus understand the promise literal? In fact, they

445
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.759
were looking for him to stout set up the kingdom? Then, now,

446
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.759
where is the most important passage on this entire discussion?

447
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.720
Is there a passage of scripture that would clearly indicate

448
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:45.279
Jesus didn't see the church as a fulfillment, he didn't

449
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:47.319
see a spiritual kingdom as a fulfillment.

450
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.319
He seemed to indicate that.

451
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:52.000
There he put it this way, he has a perfect

452
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.599
opportunity to stop all of the debate, but he does not.

453
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.680
Where is that famous passage where Jesus has a great

454
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.039
opportunity to fix all of this and he doesn't fix it.

455
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.119
The Book of Acts.

456
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:10.720
Look in the very first part of the Book of Acts,

457
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:16.200
right before he ascends to the Father, he's asked a

458
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:23.160
very specific question by his disciples. And what do the

459
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.759
disciples ask Jesus that would relate to Isaiah nine six

460
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:34.160
and seven. At this time, will you restore the kingdom

461
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.960
of Israel? Now, has Jesus already talked about a spiritual

462
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.200
kingdom in the gospels?

463
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.480
Yes, that, so Jesus could say, wait.

464
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:44.119
Wait, wait, wait, the kingdom has already been restored. It's

465
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.160
a spiritual kingdom.

466
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:46.720
But he doesn't say that.

467
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.240
Does he say, hey, guys, guys, guys, there's no more kingdom.

468
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.960
There's the church which is getting ready to be established.

469
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.599
He doesn't say that. In fact, what is his exact words?

470
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.759
It is not for you to know.

471
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:05.200
He doesn't say it's never going to happen. This would

472
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.839
be the time to stop it, right What does he say?

473
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:16.480
It's not for you to know the time or the dates.

474
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.359
But does he tell them, what but the Holy Ghost

475
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.759
is gonna come upon you. You should be my witnesses where Jerusalem?

476
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.880
All right? So he does not in any way he

477
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.200
could fix the whole debate, right there? Could he not?

478
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.920
That is Acts chapter one, what verses six and seven

479
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.839
and Isaiah nine. You should have a cross reference to

480
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.680
Acts chapter one, six and seven.

481
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:51.920
So when it says that his government that his kingdom,

482
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.640
you know it's clearly an earthly kingdom. The disciples knew

483
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.920
it was an earthly kingdom. Even after all.

484
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.279
Of Jesus preaching right before he has sins, they're asking

485
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.079
what where is it? And Jesus does not say, guys,

486
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.920
stop worrying about.

487
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.640
No, No, he just says, it's not you don't you know?

488
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:13.240
It's not for you to know the time or the season,

489
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.200
or the date or exactly. However, depending on your translation,

490
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:20.039
does everyone see that I cannot I can't look of

491
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:21.240
everything we've talked about.

492
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.039
When it comes to the covenants.

493
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.880
That verse and Acts chapter one, those two verses are critical.

494
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:32.279
It stops the whole argument. There shouldn't even be an

495
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:36.319
argument anymore. The fact that there's still an argument means

496
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:37.359
that even.

497
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:43.279
A verse like that doesn't solve the philological disputes. Anyone

498
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:44.559
have any questions about that?

499
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:55.000
Yes, no, everyone understands the significance of it. Right, What

500
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:58.119
is Isaiah nine to seven indicate?

501
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.839
Everyone? Go to Isaiah nine to seven, just just just

502
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.640
quote the verse.

503
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:12.880
What does it indicate? A child is coming? Government will

504
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:19.519
be on his shoulders, and in verse there's gonna be

505
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.839
and there's gonna be no end to his government. Right,

506
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:28.119
He's gonna reign onto David's throne. There's gonna be a kingdom,

507
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:28.960
there's gonna be.

508
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:31.119
A government, there's gonna be a kingdom, and there's gonna

509
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:32.640
be a throne. Everybody see that.

510
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:39.720
So that child who Isaiah is promising, which is Jesus,

511
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.480
is going to be ultimately the fulfillment of the Dividic

512
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:45.400
covenant because he's going.

513
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.440
To rule and reign on David's throne.

514
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.640
He is of the seed of David, right, he comes

515
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.920
from the Davidic line, and his throne will reign and

516
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.839
rule forever. And has he established that literal kingdom, throne

517
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:01.319
and government. No, he has not. And when the and

518
00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:04.240
how do we know it's literal? Even the disciples understood

519
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.519
it to be literal. And when the disciples said, is

520
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.640
it now? What did Jesus say, It's not for you

521
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.200
to know. He does not say it's not going to happen.

522
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.000
He could have solved all the philological dispute right there.

523
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.319
Does everyone understand the significance of that? Yes?

524
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:25.599
Okay, Now look at Isaiah chapter eleven.

525
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.680
Look at Isaiah chapter eleven. This is taking longer than

526
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.720
I anticipated.

527
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.440
It always does.

528
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.000
Still, we still got plenty of time, right, We've got well,

529
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:37.519
I mean.

530
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.799
Yeah, this this text.

531
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.400
There are so many scripture passages here. Clearly Rory wants

532
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:44.200
to make a huge deal out of this. All right,

533
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:45.759
look at Isaiah eleven.

534
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.359
I'm gonna we're gonna have to read these. So some

535
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.119
of these I just like you to look up for.

536
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.119
Well, hang on, let's not jump, let's not let's not

537
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:58.119
read into it yet.

538
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.519
Okay, all right, Isaiah eleven.

539
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.319
Maybe the whole chapter, all right, Maybe he wants to

540
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:11.119
read the whole chapter here. Wow, Okay, this may take

541
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:14.119
us forever. All right, let's at least start working through it.

542
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.039
And see, I thought he wanted us to read verses,

543
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:20.119
but no, he wants us to read entire chapters here.

544
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.640
So this may take a while. So but let's go

545
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:25.319
through these as quickly as we can, all right. The

546
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:28.920
first one is chapter eleven. All right, let's see what

547
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:32.480
we can find here. Verse one, There shall come from

548
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.880
a rod. There shall come forth a rod from the

549
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:39.720
stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of

550
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.000
his roots. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,

551
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:47.000
the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel

552
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:49.200
and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the.

553
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.119
Fear of the Lord. All Right, that's Isaiah eleven, verses.

554
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.359
One through two. Right, how do we know who this

555
00:32:54.440 --> 00:33:05.720
is referencing? Yeah, but how do we know who it's referencing?

556
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:11.519
Well, what's always the go to way to answer that? Okay,

557
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.920
is there does the New Testament quote Isaiah eleven one

558
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:20.759
through two? That's always the right The answer is is

559
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.920
there a cross reference?

560
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:28.480
Is?

561
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:47.799
Okay? Look at it and see. Tell me what you find.

562
00:33:50.680 --> 00:34:12.719
See what cross references you can find? Tell me what

563
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.199
you find.

564
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.400
Alright?

565
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.599
How about Acts thirteen? What do you see in Acts thirteen?

566
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:29.960
Maybe verse twenty three possibly. I'm not saying it's it's there.

567
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.000
I'm just throwing out options to get you looking.

568
00:34:34.000 --> 00:35:09.800
I think twenty three maybe, what does it say.

569
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:09.679
And whatever?

570
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:13.920
Yeah, I don't think that's a cross reference to Isaiah

571
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:18.400
eleven one. That goes back to Isaiah. That goes back

572
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.840
to Isaiah nine. That's a great one for Isaiah nine.

573
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.000
How about the axe one? Was there anything in Acts thirteen?

574
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.000
How about see twenty three?

575
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:50.719
Possibly? Okay, that's that's kind of.

576
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:52.719
I mean, it's not perfect, but it does say a

577
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.719
shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse.

578
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.679
That seems to be that that's going back demonstrating who's

579
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.760
gonna come from that Jesus. Right, that seems to make

580
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:03.239
it very.

581
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:07.000
Clear, correct, all right, It doesn't use the same language,

582
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.159
but it's very similar. It's getting us to the basic

583
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:16.960
facts we can we agree to that, right, It connects

584
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:18.039
jesse to David.

585
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.559
To Jesus, which this is what Isaiah eleven is referring to.

586
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.480
All right, does that work? Ever?

587
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:27.199
Weld feel halfway okay with that as at least a

588
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.840
possible connection. I mean, we could do more work, but

589
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.559
I think that gets us close, right, all right? Now,

590
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.840
the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the

591
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.960
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,

592
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:39.800
the spirit of knowledge and of.

593
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.039
The fear of the Lord. All right, What do we

594
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.000
have in the New Testament that would say the spirit

595
00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:50.760
of the Lord was upon Jesus?

596
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:56.880
How about Matthew three p's sixteen. Tell me what you

597
00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:04.480
find there? Maybe before Matthew three sixteen. I don't know

598
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:06.559
if that Matthew three sixteen will actually work, but we'll

599
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.239
try it.

600
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:08.880
Now.

601
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:18.199
Now it's the baptism, and then what descends upon Jesus

602
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:19.039
the Holy Spirit?

603
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:19.519
Does it not?

604
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:22.360
Okay?

605
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:26.880
So the Holy Spirit was upon him, right. Okay, So

606
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:29.559
there's the there's Matthew three sixteen. How about John one

607
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:42.000
thirty two?

608
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:49.480
Not in John? The baptism is not recorded in John,

609
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:55.119
is it? I mean? I could be wrong John one thirty.

610
00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:03.480
Two, John, Okay, it's not recording the baptism, but it's

611
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:08.119
John's testimony that what happened, the spirit came upon Jesus.

612
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:10.079
I can give you more verses if you need them,

613
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.559
all right, So what can we say that we have

614
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:18.480
acts to connect Jesse to David to Jesus. There's Isaiah

615
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:21.280
eleven one. There shall come from a rod from the

616
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:23.199
stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of

617
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:25.360
the roots. Now, the term branch is a term for

618
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:27.320
the Messiah. I could prove that, if I need to,

619
00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.159
the spirit of the Lord shall come upon him. Clearly

620
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.079
the New Testament identifies that. So can we say with

621
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:37.039
some surety that with some certainty that Isaiah eleven one

622
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:38.840
two is referring to Jesus.

623
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:39.639
All right?

624
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.519
Now, once we know it's referring to Jesus, now what

625
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.400
do we do? What is it going to say about Jesus?

626
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.440
Starting in verse three followed and follow carefully? Why I'm

627
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:50.000
spending so much time on this.

628
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.000
Are you ready? Are you ready? His delight is in

629
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:53.880
the fear of the Lord.

630
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.320
He shall not judge by the side of his eyes,

631
00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:59.119
nor decide by the hearing of his ears. Okay, now

632
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.760
that means he's judging something deeper than external. He's going

633
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:08.280
to the heart. Jesus clearly makes that obvious in the Bible.

634
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:11.719
But with righteousness he shall judge the poor, decide with

635
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:13.239
equity the milk of the earth.

636
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.559
Now look at the next part. What shall he do?

637
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:20.960
He shall strike the earth with a rod of his mouth,

638
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.159
and with this breath of his lips he shall slay

639
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.760
the wicked.

640
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:25.159
Righteousness shall be the.

641
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:29.920
Belt of his loins, and faithfulness the belt of his waist. Now,

642
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.920
wait a minute. Did that happen in the first Coming?

643
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.960
So we'll spiritualize that and said that happened through his preachy,

644
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:42.800
and that this is figurative. But what does that verse

645
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:48.960
sound like? What does that sound like? Revelation what nineteen?

646
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.679
Everybody go to Revelation nineteen and see if that sounds

647
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:57.079
very similar to the language. Find the things in Revelation nineteen.

648
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:04.079
This sounds like Isaiah there, Revelation nineteen.

649
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.440
I know this can be tedious. But this is the

650
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:09.320
only way to do this properly. Okay.

651
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:11.760
I could just sit here and just read off the

652
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.000
connections to you, but then that doesn't do you of

653
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.559
any value because you'll forget it five minutes from now.

654
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:20.360
But hopefully when you're looking it up yourself, you'll remember

655
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:25.960
it for ten minutes. That's somewhat of a joke. But yeah,

656
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:27.400
Revelation nineteen.

657
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:38.320
Okay, okay.

658
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:42.079
And does it say anything about a name or any

659
00:40:42.159 --> 00:41:02.119
of his clothing or anything. There shall smite the nations?

660
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:02.440
Okay?

661
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.119
Right that Isaiah says, strike the earth with the rod

662
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.519
of his mouth. Okay, Now you can say, well, it

663
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:08.159
says a sword.

664
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:08.679
It's different.

665
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.599
So it's giving a very similar idea. Right, with his

666
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.920
breath of his lips, he shall slay the wicked?

667
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:19.679
Do people die? Are people slayed? Yes? All right?

668
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.840
Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins, and faithfulness

669
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:23.679
the belt of his way.

670
00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:25.559
Was I don't know if it refers to him as

671
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:26.679
righteous or faithful.

672
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:28.880
There, I don't know if it refers to him as

673
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:34.679
righteous or faithful. And Revelation and Isaiah.

674
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:39.519
Says, right, okay, righteousness he judges. Okay, does anything about faithful.

675
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:40.360
I don't think it does.

676
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.480
There we go, all right, ladies and gentlemen, there we

677
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.119
have it. Okay, So now what why is this significant?

678
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:55.639
We've established that this is Jesus, and now we're establishing

679
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:58.000
these are things he did not do in his first coming.

680
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.119
But revelation does what seem to describe that that's what

681
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:05.280
he's going to do and his second coming, and so

682
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:09.119
therefore we know we're onto something. Okay, Now look at

683
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:14.519
verse six. After this destruction? What does verse six say

684
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:20.360
in Isaiah eleven? The wolves shall dwell with the lamb?

685
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:24.079
What else shall happen? The leopard will lie down with

686
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:26.800
the young goat the calf, and the young lion and

687
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:29.920
the fattling together, and a little child shall lead them.

688
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:33.079
The cow and the bear shall graze. Their young ones

689
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.840
shall lie down together, and the lions shall eat straw.

690
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:37.559
Like the ox.

691
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:43.199
Something absolutely transformative is going to happen in six and seven.

692
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.199
That's not in the church, ladies and gentlemen, that's not

693
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:50.320
describing the church. The church is filled with what fighting

694
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:51.760
arguing enemies.

695
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:53.000
That's not the case.

696
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:56.440
So but this seems to occur when when does verse

697
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.800
six and seven seem to occur, or yes, when is

698
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:04.440
very six, seven and eight seem to occur right after

699
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:09.519
Jesus comes back. What happens in Revelation after nineteen? What

700
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.840
happens in chapter twenty oh we have the establishment of

701
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.639
the millennial kingdom, where he rules and reigns for one

702
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:21.400
thousand years. Continue reading in Isaiah eleven, what's gonna happen?

703
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:22.039
In verse eight?

704
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:29.920
The nursing child shall play by the cobras hole, and

705
00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.800
the wing child shall put his hand in the viper's den,

706
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.199
and they shall not hurt nor destroy. And all my

707
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.360
holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the

708
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.880
knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

709
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:42.559
That did not happen in the first Coming, and that

710
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.840
has nothing to do with the church. That is a

711
00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:51.920
reference to the second Coming. When what is established the

712
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.360
Davidic kingdom is now ruling irreny.

713
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:56.000
What happens in.

714
00:43:56.000 --> 00:44:03.599
Verse ten, Jesse, Oh, in that day there shall be

715
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:04.320
a root of Jesse.

716
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:05.320
Who's the root of Jesse?

717
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:12.000
It goes from David to Jesus right, who shall stand

718
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:14.400
as a banner to the people. For the gentile she'll

719
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:17.000
seek him, and his resting place shall be glorious. It

720
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:18.719
shall come to pass in that day that the Lord

721
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.960
shall set his hand again the second time to recover.

722
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:30.280
The remnant of his people. Who is that referencing Israel?

723
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:39.519
And does he name actual places Assyria, Egypt, Pathross depending

724
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:45.960
on your translation, cush Ilum, Shinar hey Moth, and the

725
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:46.960
islands of the sea.

726
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.360
So get what else is going to happen after God

727
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.280
destroys all the enemies, which is Revelation nineteen, There's gonna

728
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:56.280
be a complete transformation of everything.

729
00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.000
Who's gonna stand as a banner for all people the

730
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:00.760
root of Jesse which Jesus.

731
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.280
And then what's going to happen? The Lord is going

732
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.440
to recover all of his people.

733
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:07.639
And then look at verse twelve.

734
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.039
He will set up a banner for the nations, and

735
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.760
will assemble the outcast of Israel and gather together the

736
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:18.800
dispersed of Judah, from where the corners of the earth.

737
00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:22.920
Also the envy of Ephriam shall depart, and the adversaries.

738
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:23.519
Of Judas shall be cut off.

739
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:27.360
Ephriam shall not envy Judah, and Judas shall not harass Ephriam.

740
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.119
But they shall fly down upon the shoulders of the

741
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.960
Philistines towards the west. Together they shall plunder the people

742
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.039
of the east. They shall lay their land of Edom

743
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.480
and Moab, and the people of Ammon shall obey them.

744
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.840
The Lord will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea

745
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:42.119
of Egypt with his mighty hand. He will shake his

746
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.519
fist over the river and strike it in the seven streams,

747
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.440
and make men cross over dry shod. There will be

748
00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:50.559
a highway for the remnant of his people who will

749
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:54.000
be left from Assyria, as as it was for Israel

750
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:55.199
in that day that came from the.

751
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.559
Land of Egypt. Simply put, what is God going to do.

752
00:45:59.519 --> 00:45:59.920
He's going to.

753
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.760
Recover his people and they're going to flow in like

754
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:04.960
on a highway directly back to Israel. And then who

755
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.599
will be ruling and reigning the root of Jesse. That

756
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:11.679
is all promise, and that's all part of the Dividic Covenant,

757
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.199
And when will it be fulfilled? The only place we

758
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.440
can find it in the Bible is don't tell me

759
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:18.760
the church. That does not describe the Church in any way,

760
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:21.079
shape or form. I don't care what Matthew Henry has

761
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:25.039
to say. Where does that happen in Revelation nineteen and twenty?

762
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.559
What happens in nineteen he destroys the enemies. What happens

763
00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:32.519
in twenty he establishes wide a thousand year reign. What

764
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:37.039
happens to Satan during that thousand year reign? He's bound

765
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.239
and all the promises.

766
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:41.239
To Israel are fulfilled?

767
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:43.119
Right?

768
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.480
You see how important Isaiah eleven is to the entire

769
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:50.440
system of eschatology. All right, but Ryery's not done. He

770
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.639
wants us to go to Isaiah twenty four. He wants

771
00:46:54.719 --> 00:47:00.440
us to read like large portions of Isaiah.

772
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:02.800
But see, if I just give you the reference. What

773
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:04.800
Let's be honest, if I just give you the reference,

774
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:05.320
what would you do?

775
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:08.960
You would write it down and be in your notes,

776
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:10.719
and you probably would never go home and read it.

777
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:12.719
So that's why we have to do it in church. Okay.

778
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.519
So I know it's two long chapters, and we'll try

779
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:19.000
to go through these quickly. We got Isaiah twenty four

780
00:47:19.039 --> 00:47:22.679
and twenty five. This is a lot of verses, Okay,

781
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:24.880
so we'll go through it quickly and see what we

782
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.800
can find. All right, maybe it will be significant, maybe

783
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:32.039
it will not. All right, everybody ready, all right, let's

784
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:35.719
start in verse twenty four, verse one, right, Isaiah twenty four,

785
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.000
Chapter twenty four verse one.

786
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.320
Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and.

787
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:45.039
Makes it waste, distorts its surface, scatter abroad its inhabitants.

788
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.480
It shall be as with people, so with the priests,

789
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:49.320
as with the servants, so with the master, as with

790
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:51.320
the maids, so with the mistress, as with the buyers,

791
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.519
with the seller, as with the lenders, with the burrows,

792
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:55.719
with the creditor, to with the debtor. The land shall

793
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.360
be entirely emptied and utterly plundered.

794
00:47:58.400 --> 00:47:59.679
For the Lord has spoken his word.

795
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:03.000
Okay, if something sounds significant, it's going to happen here, right,

796
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:07.199
What exactly it's referring to? Let's continue. The Earth mourns

797
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.920
and fades away. The world languishes and fades away. The

798
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:12.239
haughty people of the earth languish. The earth also is

799
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:15.199
defiled under its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws,

800
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:18.760
changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore, the curse

801
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.079
has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it

802
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:24.039
are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,

803
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:26.239
and few men are left. This is speaking of some

804
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:29.079
absolutely catastrophic judgment.

805
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:31.840
Does that not what it sounds like? I think? So?

806
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:35.920
The new wine fails, the vine languishes, all the merry

807
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.360
hearted side, the mirth of the tempering ceases, the noise

808
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:42.599
of the jubilant ends, the joy of heart ceases.

809
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.239
They shall not, I mean, you.

810
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:49.320
Can just everything sounds like a total, complete destruction and judgment.

811
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:52.320
Does that sound fair? Is a good way of describing it.

812
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:59.960
What happens in verse fourteen. They shall lift up their voice.

813
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.320
They shall sing for the majesty of the Lord. They

814
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:05.360
shall cry aloud from the sea. Therefore glorify the Lord

815
00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.199
and the dawning night, the name of the name of

816
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:13.559
the Lord, God of Israel, and the coastlines of the sea,

817
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.800
from the ends of the earth. And we have heard

818
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.280
songs glory, be glory to the righteous. But I said,

819
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.199
I am ruined, ruined, woe to me. The treacherous dealers

820
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:26.000
have dealt treacherously. Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

821
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:30.400
Fear and the pit and the snare or upon you,

822
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:33.239
or inhabitants of the earth. And it shall be those

823
00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:35.440
who flee from the noise of fear shall fall into

824
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:37.519
the pit. And he who comes upon the midst of

825
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.480
the pit shall be caught in the snare for the

826
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:42.760
windows from when not high or open, and the foundations

827
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:45.360
of the earth are shaken. The earth is violently broken,

828
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:47.800
the earth is split open. I mean, all of that

829
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:49.440
it just sounds horrible, does it not?

830
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:51.239
All?

831
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:54.800
Right? Look at verse twenty one, punishment on the high ones,

832
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.480
there will be gathered together verse twenty two, they will

833
00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:59.920
be shut up in the prison. The moon will be disgrace,

834
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.880
the Sun will be ashamed. The Lord of Host will

835
00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:07.039
rain on Mount Zion, on Jerusalem, and before his elders graciously,

836
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:09.360
so you have a little bit of hope at the end,

837
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.440
right the end, who's going to be raining?

838
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:18.760
The fear of the Lord of Host will rain, The

839
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:21.360
God of Host will rain. Okay, but before that, all

840
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.159
that destruction, what does all of that sound like? Before

841
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.760
you get to verse twenty three.

842
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.400
Sounds a lot of luck? What you read in Revelation

843
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.559
oh well, even before Revelation nineteen. I mean, you're losing

844
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:37.920
a large portion of the earth in those passages, are

845
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.960
you not? People are being slaughtered, people are being killed

846
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:45.880
by the plagues, right, I mean, it's just massive destruction.

847
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.199
Is it not? What things happen to the moon and

848
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:53.119
the sun, right, all that stuff happens.

849
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:55.079
Okay, so that sounds like a lot of that. Now

850
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:59.239
what happens in verse twenty five or verse twenty five,

851
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:00.000
Chapter twenty five?

852
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:04.280
Oh Lord, you are my God.

853
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:06.639
I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for

854
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.440
you have done wonderful things. Your counsels of old are

855
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:11.920
faithful and true. That sounds very different than twenty four?

856
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:12.400
Does it not.

857
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.760
Sounds very different than twenty four? Yeah, twenty four is

858
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:19.840
all about judgment. We get a little hope at the

859
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:21.599
end of twenty three, and all of a sudden twenty

860
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:22.800
five breaks out into what.

861
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:26.920
Praise right?

862
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.639
For you have made a city a ruin, a forified city,

863
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:33.880
a ruin, a palace of a palace of foreigners, to

864
00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:36.920
be a city no more. It will never be rebuilt. Therefore,

865
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.880
the strong people will glorify you. The city of the

866
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:42.159
terrible nations will fear you. For you have been a

867
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:45.079
strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in

868
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:48.239
his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from

869
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:50.599
the heat from the blast of the terrible ones, as

870
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:53.199
a storm against the wall. You will reduce the noise

871
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:56.000
of aliens, as heat in the dry place, as heat

872
00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:58.280
in the shadow of a cloud. The song of the

873
00:51:58.360 --> 00:52:01.519
terrible ones will be diminished once again. It's praising God

874
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:05.239
for what. All of this destruction is coming on some people,

875
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:09.239
but it's obviously not coming upon whom the people doing

876
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:12.679
the praise. Right, and I think Israel would be make

877
00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:15.000
the most sense. Obviously here this is not the church.

878
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:19.639
And in this mountain? What mountain is that?

879
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:25.320
Mostly referring to probably Mount Zion, right, probably we say Jerusalem. Correct.

880
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:26.719
The Lord of.

881
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:29.480
Hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces,

882
00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:32.920
a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things ofmorrow,

883
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:35.760
of well refined wines on the leaves. He will destroy

884
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:38.800
on this mountain the surface of the covering cast overall people,

885
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:42.000
and the veil that has spread over all nations.

886
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.840
He's going to remove a veil. Okay.

887
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:47.760
He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will

888
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:49.599
wipe away tears from all faces.

889
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.119
Okay, Now does verse eight sound familiar?

890
00:52:58.920 --> 00:52:59.239
Well?

891
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:03.119
Maybe one grin day is fifteen definitely talks about death.

892
00:53:03.159 --> 00:53:04.079
Where is thy sting?

893
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:12.159
But that's you should lead you to a different place, revelation. Okay, go,

894
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:16.639
you'll find it in revelation. Yeah. Is it twenty? Is

895
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:18.760
it twenty one, tell me where is where it is?

896
00:53:29.239 --> 00:53:46.400
Find it? Twenty one four? Literally, that's Isaiah.

897
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:48.760
Twenty five eight, Ladies and jaid, that's literally Isaiah twenty

898
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:53.760
five eight. All right, Now, what would be the question? Now,

899
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.880
if you're dealing with our millennialists, they've already spiritualized passage

900
00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:59.519
after passage after passage said it's not Israel, said it's

901
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:01.239
the Church. Well, then what would be the question that

902
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.920
would have for a non millennialist. Is Isaiah twenty five

903
00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:04.599
to eight literal?

904
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:07.639
And what would be the answer?

905
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:10.880
Yes, Well, if that's literal, the rest of it has

906
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:12.639
to be literal or I don't even know how to

907
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:13.360
read the Bible?

908
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:13.800
Right?

909
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:17.000
And it will be said in that day, Behold, this

910
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:19.239
is our God. We have waited for him, and he

911
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.119
will save us. This is the Lord we have waited

912
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:23.079
for him, and he will be glad and rejoice in

913
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:23.719
his salvation.

914
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:28.559
Now, remember, Isaiah is written to whom Who is Isaiah too?

915
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:45.960
Look at go to Isaiah verse one, chapter one, verse one.

916
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:50.599
This is to Israel and Judah. There's no question who

917
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:51.280
this is? Two?

918
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:51.840
Right?

919
00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:55.679
So then these why are these promises? Because what was

920
00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:57.119
Israel facing at that time?

921
00:54:57.280 --> 00:55:02.840
Historically judgment, right, judgment, destruction?

922
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:04.599
And what can that make them feel like?

923
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:09.440
God has forgotten, God has abandoned? What is God's promise?

924
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:13.840
Over and over and over, I have made a covenant.

925
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:18.679
I will keep that covenant even if you are unfaithful.

926
00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:22.239
And how does this promise? How do all these promises

927
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:23.639
manifest themselves?

928
00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:27.800
And Revelation nineteen.

929
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:32.599
Twenty and twenty one, where you have the destruction of everyone,

930
00:55:32.639 --> 00:55:37.920
the establishment of a kingdom Israel being returned, and then

931
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:43.199
everything being made right? All right, look at verse nine,

932
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:44.960
and it will be said in that day, behold, this

933
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:45.639
is our God.

934
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.599
We have waited for him, and he will save us. See.

935
00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:49.320
And that day you're gonna say, this is our God.

936
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:53.880
We have waited for him. Have they been waiting? Yeah,

937
00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:56.800
but they've been waiting. They're still waiting. Right, this is

938
00:55:56.840 --> 00:55:58.800
the Lord. We have waited for him. We will be

939
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:01.440
glad and rejoice in his south. From on this mountain

940
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:03.119
the hand of the Lord will rest.

941
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:06.639
Moabs shall be trampled down under him, as straw is

942
00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:08.360
trampled down from the refuse heap.

943
00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:11.000
He will spread out his hands in their midst. As

944
00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:13.400
a swimmer reaches out to swim, he will bring down

945
00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:16.400
their pride together with trickery of their hand, the fortress,

946
00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:19.199
of the high fort of your walls, he will bring down,

947
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:22.320
lay low, and bring the ground down to the dust.

948
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.119
All their enemies are going to be destroyed.

949
00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:26.679
And then look what happens in verse twenty six, Chapter

950
00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:31.400
twenty six, Verse one. In that day this song will

951
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:37.239
be sung and the Land of Judah twenty four and

952
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.920
twenty five is about the destruction basically of all of

953
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:40.960
Israel's enemies.

954
00:56:41.199 --> 00:56:43.719
They're all going to be destroyed. Everything's going to be destroyed.

955
00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.719
But who's gonna be preserved Israel.

956
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:50.320
And they will then rejoice and there'll be no more tears,

957
00:56:50.559 --> 00:56:55.199
no more pain, no more death. Now you see why

958
00:56:55.320 --> 00:56:57.480
Israel could pray a certain way.

959
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:03.840
Now we have to stop there. We still have this

960
00:57:03.880 --> 00:57:06.440
is all. These are all the passages that we have

961
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:07.000
to go through.

962
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:09.480
Yet we have to read all of Isaiah fifty four,

963
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:13.239
all of Isaiah sixty, all of Isaiah sixty one, most

964
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:16.400
of Jeremiah twenty three, most of Jeremiah thirty most of

965
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:19.800
Jeremiah thirty three, most of Jeremiah twenty and twenty one,

966
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:24.280
Ezekiel thirty seven, Daniel chapter seven Hoseah chapter three, Amos

967
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:26.440
chapter eight, and Zechariah chapter fourteen.

968
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:32.639
Now it sounds tedious and not fun.

969
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:34.639
But the reason we have to do this is for

970
00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:39.480
what purpose? Because there's an entire philological.

971
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:42.000
Movement out there who says, Hey, this Covenant has nothing

972
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:44.199
to do with Israel, it's all for the Church, and

973
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:46.920
don't take that literal. Don't take that literal. Don't take

974
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:49.199
that literal. So the only way to combat it is

975
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:49.719
to do what.

976
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:55.199
Go read it, and we already saw in the midst

977
00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:57.800
of all of that, that promise of no more pain,

978
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:01.400
no more death, no more tears. All millennialists will interpret

979
00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:04.519
that to be literal. Well, how can you in the

980
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:07.119
middle of all of that say that's literal and everything

981
00:58:07.119 --> 00:58:10.039
else is somehow figurative and it's about God in the.

982
00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:12.400
Church defeating our enemies spiritually.

983
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.519
That makes literally no sense considering the entire book of

984
00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:19.599
Isaiah's written to whom he's writing about things concerning Israel

985
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.480
and Judah, not concerning the Church. So what do they

986
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:24.559
have to do that go have to go to Isaiah

987
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:27.400
one to one and basically say when it says concerning

988
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:29.840
Israel and Judah, that that's not really Israel, and that's

989
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:33.159
not really Judah. Do you understand how ridiculous that is

990
00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:36.360
considering the rest of that verse does what what does

991
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:41.079
the rest of verse one do in Isaiah? Well, it

992
00:58:41.199 --> 00:58:46.199
names actual kings, not of the church, literal historical kings.

993
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:50.119
So it's almost like it's anticipating what's going to happen.

994
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:52.880
The whole thing falls apart. Now I could just give

995
00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.320
you the reference. Well, what we'll do is next week

996
00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:57.320
we'll try it. We're just gonna work through the references.

997
00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:59.800
It may be tedious, but then nobody can come and

998
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.679
may look. If we had a Matthew Henry commentary every

999
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:04.679
one of these passages, he would be saying, over and

1000
00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:07.159
over the Church, the Church, the Church, the Church, the Church,

1001
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:10.079
the Church, the Church, the Church, the Church. And I

1002
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:12.719
know some will argue, well, all you may say is

1003
00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:15.440
the millennial Kingdom, the millennial Kingdom. I know we need

1004
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:19.360
a balance, right, but I can tell you this, It's

1005
00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:21.800
far more likely to find the millennial Kingdom that I'm

1006
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:23.719
going to find the Church in a book that's not

1007
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:27.679
even about the church. Okay, So I think the millennial

1008
00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:30.559
Kingdom makes far more sense because the millennial Kingdom is all.

1009
00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:35.559
About whom Israel. It's about Israel.

1010
00:59:35.559 --> 00:59:37.880
Everyone seems to forget that the millennial kingdom is about

1011
00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:43.039
whom Christ ruling and reigning over Israel. So that what

1012
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:48.639
can be fulfilled covenant promises can be literally fulfilled to

1013
00:59:48.719 --> 00:59:53.679
the literal nation in which they were made. That makes sense, right,

1014
00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:59.800
because if God doesn't literally fulfill those, than what God

1015
00:59:59.880 --> 01:00:03.960
is a liar? Or we have to change our entire

1016
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.000
hermaeudic and don't interpret anything literal. And if I don't

1017
01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:10.840
interpret think anything literal, then I mean when when amillennialists

1018
01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:16.679
read Isaiah? Do they interpret that a virgin will have

1019
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:17.559
a child literally?

1020
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:18.760
Yes?

1021
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:21.400
Do they interpret all those verses about Jesus first coming

1022
01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:22.000
as literal?

1023
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:25.000
Yes? I remember what we read here some of the

1024
01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:29.000
millennial quotes. Well, you can quote, you can interpret it

1025
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:34.239
literal if it's already happened, but you can't interpret it

1026
01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:37.280
literal if it hasn't happened yet. What kind of hermeneutic

1027
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:38.800
is that? Hey? Hey?

1028
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:40.760
And so then what would be the question, Well, then

1029
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:43.519
why is all the promises when they were made that

1030
01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:46.599
hadn't happened yet, So nobody should have interpreted them literal

1031
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:50.280
when they are first received the promise. Well, then you

1032
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:52.760
can't blame the Jews for not believing a virgin had

1033
01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:54.519
a child.

1034
01:00:56.039 --> 01:01:01.320
The text would infer what believe what I say as literal?

1035
01:01:01.480 --> 01:01:03.960
When he promised that they would go into Babylonian captivity?

1036
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:04.639
Was it literal?

1037
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:08.880
When he promised they would go into basically Egyptian captivity?

1038
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:12.599
Everything he promised happened literally, So then why would you

1039
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:14.719
then say, well, if it hasn't happened yet, I can

1040
01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:16.039
just interpret it as figurtip.

1041
01:01:16.239 --> 01:01:17.679
That's a bad hermeneutic.

1042
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:20.519
But that's why we're going through the passages, because if

1043
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:22.559
I just give them, everyone will write them in their

1044
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:24.679
notes and no one's going to actually read them. So

1045
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:27.440
my job is to make sure that here we actually

1046
01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:27.880
read them.

1047
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:30.199
All right. I know it's tedious, but it's still I

1048
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:32.800
don't know a better way, right, So we'll stop right there.

1049
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:34.800
All right, Lord God, we come before you this morning.

1050
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:38.039
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to look at

1051
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:40.840
these passages that we may not look at. I know

1052
01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:43.559
we're reading through them quickly or trying to make just

1053
01:01:43.639 --> 01:01:47.960
basic summaries. The Lord, help us really write these down,

1054
01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:50.679
consider them, and make reference to them frequently.

1055
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:52.119
We asked this in Jesus, name it gods.
