[Music] so I just want to pray for us Lord help us every day to be disciplined to read your word to speak it out to hear [Music] ourselves there is a second half to his mission and that he will not come as a suffering servant but as a conquering King he will not come as a Meek lamb but he will come as a Waring lion and when he comes the second time it will not be to die for our sins but it will be to judge the world of their sins and to establish his kingdom upon the Earth [Music] [Music] Hallelujah so as I was on my way here this morning with Jeremiah and we were talking on the way and what I had on my heart is about this idea called a miracle you me all of us we are a [Music] miracle and it's very relevant because in a few days we'll celebrate Hanukah here in Israel we have about s to eight million people here in Israel that will be celebrating Hanukah and we also have in this season Christmas yesu which is where we celebrate the miracle of God Yeshua coming to us [Music] so I want to encourage us that we're in this season surrounded by a miracle the [Music] miracle and a miracle represents first of all the intervention of [Music] God it also represents a supernatural phenomena something that man could not do [Music] and that's what happened at Hanukkah when the jar of oil that should have lasted for one day lasted eight [Music] days and that's the miracle that each and every one of us received that our lives were limited and lacking but we received life through Yeshua hallelujah our response to the miracle is to praise and worship God who's Seated on high so I want to read a verse and lead us into Thanksgiving and praise to [Music] God so let let's read from Psalm [Music] [Music] 77:1 I will remember the works of the Lord surely I will remember your wonders of old I will also meditate on all your work and talk of your Deeds your way oh God is in the sanctuary or in the Holiness who is so great a God as our God you are the God who does wonders you have declared your strength among the peoples so what we can respond to in that is just to praise God to thank him to lift him up and and give thanks for all that he's done and that's what we want to do this morning to thank him for all he's done for our lives and for the people of [Music] Israel so let's just stand and Worship the Lord together and all of our viewers also we invite you to just worship God With Us and thank him for everything that he's done in our lives amen [Music] [Music] [Music] make me be feeling [Music] [Music] oh said [Music] [Music] yes [Music] oh yes call sure

separation was created with [Music] us and God showed me all the signs and wonders that he did for Israel when we came out of Egypt and all the other shows of how he is a great and God of Miracles and our feasts and holidays are times for us to remember what God has done throughout all of [Music] history and as we're worshiping God I just saw these m Miracles and miracles that God is doing in the lives of each and every one of us here worshiping him and the same God is here with us working in our midst today in direct contact with us he's a miracle working God and he works in Supernatural ways so thank you Father that you the god of Miracles we will keep worshiping you and praising you and lifting up your name Yeshua thank you for your presence Hallelujah [Music] [Music] [Music] FL we will

love believe in me take part in me and see what happen Yeshua is inviting us to live a life of [Music] Miracles to live a life that is Supernatural it is not natural Miracles is not natural to have a

would raise up your your ideas your direction for our nation for such a time as this we ask for repentance for turning back to you for Heavenly wisdom and strategy in the name of Yeshua [Music] amen there is something on my heart because I was with a bunch of Israeli young guys last night that I've been sharing with and I just want to say that we really need to pray because a lot of them are smoking marijuana and they're doing drugs and I really have a sense that it's to push down the pain and this is the second time that this has like um been made I've been made aware of this because I was on the streets the other day and this policeman friend of mine who's also a Believer and he he got hold of some young guy and he was on prescription marijuana the guy was like a druggie and I want to pray the enemy is trying to to take these guys trying to F these young people let's pray can we just pray that that this deception that this Lord God lord we just praying that you're a supernatural

they come into a absolute disastrous Despair and lift their hands up lift their hands up in in in in surrender oh God to recognize the god of Israel is higher the god of Israel is more the god of Israel is power and there's no other explanation so father we pray that this fear of the god of Israel will fall upon our enemies and completely uh shatter all their uh machinations all their all their all their all their attempts to come against us in yeshua's name because they're not coming against Israel they're coming against the god of Israel who never fails and never loses in any confrontation so Hallelujah we say may your hand be revealed as the the god of gods bring glory to your name through this confrontation because you do not lose in any confrontation with lesser gods in yeshua's name we pray [Music] verse one come let us return to the Lord he has torn but he will heal us he has stricken but he will bind us up after two days he will revive us on the third day he will raise us up that we may live in his [Music] sight father we thank you that during this time you are um wounding but you are training the people of Israel disciplining the people of [Music] Israel that's who you are your father [Music] and if you if you consider us your sons that is your good act as a father to [Music] us I ask father that you will continue disciplining us until we submit to you as a people we pray now that our enemies would submit if we have prayed up until now that our enemies would submit and recognize you as the god of [Music] Israel I pray that we as a people will recognize that same fact that you are the god of [Music] Israel you are the reason for the things happening to us as a [Music] people your love your mercy and your [Music] fatherhood thank you for your word that says you will give us a new heart and a new [Music] spirit thank you for the way you've chosen to do that I think of the Book of Judges the pattern we see [Music] there where the people are scattered and each tribe does whatever they [Music] want and then you give your people over you sell them in order to train and discipline [Music] us so that we would cry out to [Music] you that our pride would be [Music] broken that we would ask for a [Music] savior and then in your grace that you would provide that [Music] [Music] savior I believe we're in a season where no one can be the answer for that cry of the people of [Music] Israel no one can be the savior or the judge or the king besides you [Music] [Music] Yeshua this is the time to remove every false god every Idol everything we are leaning on and to turn to you [Music] Hallelujah Father in heaven we give glory to your name through Yeshua your son amen hallelujah I also want to pray for the Christians in Europe or the Europeans were not exactly [Music] Christians in light of the uh terrorist attack where a car ran over people in [Music] M first of all I can't grasp how a person can run over 200 [Music] people it's 100 times that he feels his car raming 200 times his car Rams into people the and he feels the effect of it but he just keeps going boom boom [Music] [Music] boom and I've already heard in the news starting to say oh it's so terrible now there will be a response from the rightwing in Europe instead of looking at the people who are killing people they're spinning it to be against the Christians and they're saying oh maybe it's because in Germany they didn't give enough help to the Saudi Arabian [Music] refugees I see that Europe is in danger [Music] Europe is just one step away from Total collapse and surrender to Islam so father I want to [Music] pray for all those in Europe even if they don't believe just Chas to understand that this was a terror attack because of Christmas on [Music] Christmas I pray that people there will see what's [Music] happening see the darkness and repent turn to you and receive the true baby chras if they don't turn to you then that's it Europe will be wiped out father we pray for Revival in [Music] Europe a return to judeo-christian values to turn their hearts to you not just in Germany but all over Europe that they will begin to understand and wake up hallelujah thank you Father we pray that on this Christmas there will be a reval an Awakening in Europe that people will waken thank you Father hallelujah [Music] [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] fore [Music] for to to me to to me there yes [Music] [Music] for for [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] me sh [Music] [Applause] [Music] let [Music] Hallelujah father we thank you that you are the light in the darkness you are the way maker you are the one who shines and who does Miracles and who works wonders and you deserve all the glory and the praise praise and the honor hallelujah amen amen so this year we have Christmas and kanuka the same time so how are we not going to talk about a little bit we'll talk about a little bit the light of God coming into the world which is the common theme of both of them maybe give a little bit of background both to uh Christmas and kanuka so let's start how not in um Genesis chapter 1 vers 1-4 says in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth and the Earth was formless and void and darkness was over the face of the deep notice immediately in the first couple of verses of the Bible of Genesis that there's a a conflict between Darkness and Light it's amazing let's get to the next verse coming in and God said let there be light and there was light and God saw that the light was good and God separated between the light and the Darkness so we've got four times it says light and three times it says Darkness says the light is good and the Darkness is bad so you see right at the beginning at the very beginning of the Bible there's a conflict between and or a contrast contrast I would say physically between light and darkness and a conflict between good and bad the the spiritual part of light is in a conflict with the spiritual part of darkness in the natural physical world there's just a uh a contrast between the two um it's amazing to think that um that this is how that God created the World by using the power of light um I we don't know what people thought for most of the past 6,000 years until Einstein came and he and he said that that energy is equal to mass times the speed of light I mean it it's it's that what we think is physical is actually you can convert between mass and light I mean it's who would have thought of that you think energy being the power of the Holy Spirit the dunamis of the Holy Spirit Light being light and mass is being everything that was created I mean Einstein said that all goes together I don't know what people thought I mean but until this time you read those vers said well I believe but now it's it's physically totally obvious now it what it means is also that what we what looks to be physical is not as physical as you think it is because mass is really just converted energy if if is I understand the physics and I don't understand it that all the physical world is actually very tiny tiny particles that are moving very very quickly and so it gives sort of an illusion that it's Mass but it's not really it's tiny little articles particles that are moving so quickly that it it uh but really there's so much space between them it's kind of like if you look at the solar system if you would look at the solar system far away it would look like one Mass but when you get up close there's there's light years of distance between the planets and everything as I understand if you were to take all the matter in the world and collapse it down so that there would be no space between it at all just matter matter matter you could put all the matter in the universe basically in your hands now it would weigh Tru beyond what we could imagine that it could but really the mass it mean the Bible says that God held the mass of the universe in his hand before he created it now think of this and then he and then it he multiplied it by light so what we think of is just m mass is not really mass is convertible into light and back and forth incredible I was thinking that the example of of a hologram not not what we have as a hologram but if you had a super hologram that was actually really three-dimensional where you could see a figure that was made of light particles and you you could make a picture out of light almost like a you know 3D printing but if you could see that you could actually see a figure there would there would be a figure made out of light it would be real you could actually walk right through it it doesn't mean it wouldn't be there but that's what the world is the world is kind of God's light hologram amazing and if you understood it like Yeshua you could walk right through the wall just like you could walk through a hologram we don't understand it you know by the way I know this don't get offended all of us we all talk about supernatural that word not in the Bible at night one time that I'm aware of what I think that we what our understanding of the world is subnatural what you think of as Miracles is just being natural it's not Supernatural That's just being natural the the to think the natural world is is something not under our control is subnatural know what I'm saying so if we were to understand how things work so the whole world is like that so it's kind of a a hologram now if you were to make a hologram light particles forming a being that you could walk through and walk out now if you would look at that say I'm looking at a hologram here and uh then I'd have to ask the question where did that hologram come from if there's a hologram here there must be somebody sitting somewhere else this hologram didn't get here by itself there's somebody somewhere else that designed the Hologram and is shooting the picture of this hologram into here so when we look at the universe it's it's a hologram according to Genesis 1 and Einstein physics and you look at it well it didn't couldn't get there by itself who where's the guy or where's the thing that made that got that put this hologram into place and if you realize that's what matter is it can matter can convert back and forth into energy and the energy is light come on that's in the Bible the first verse of the Bible so he says the light comes in and out and um and when you realize it all matters that way so maybe you could walk through a hologram now let's think of the air around us I mean there's this is not Hollow FR of us there's air right there's particles in the air around us but you can walk through it because it doesn't mean there's not particles there there's particles there it's created and it's got light in it there's light and what else is in the air around us one of the things is is water this water now you could have in the air right now if it's a dry day 10% humidity you go wet day you got 90% humidity you can have more or less water in the air but you can still walk through it you know what I'm saying now if it gets more than that you could actually have a cloud and if you got more than that you have water and then the water could come come down I mean it's it's but it's all just different forms of light and energy and so so just as if you understood it I mean how can you even walk on Solid Ground I mean if you could see what was there you would be terrified I don't know how we all sit on a plane you know I was thinking the last time I flew on a plane I was sitting there and it was kind of windy outside we're up in the there the plane is kind of shaking I'm thinking between me and being 30,000 you know feet above the ground is this thin tin can that I could probably punch through it if I hit it or not I said why am I trusting that I could sit here because cuz really but if if IID understand Yeshua could have just walked right through the plane and just kept walking you could understand the physics of what's going on so if you walk on hard land it's just it's just particles spinning around and you walk on water it's particles spinning around a little faster a little water and then you could walk on air in a cloud and think about Yeshua he could walk through a wall he could walk on top of the water he could rise up in a cloud and and he looked at and said you guys don't even understand this I'm like this is ABCs why aren't you all doing this you're going what because we don't understand if we could see what was really what nature was made up this it's amazing so um so this is the world we live in and we look at this world and a lot of the world is a play on light and darkness and there must have been somebody that made this light now a a lot of Bible commentaries both Jewish and Christian have noticed the fact that the sun wasn't created till the fourth day and light created the universe on the first day which means the light of the first day wasn't just the light of the sun it was before the sun it was and you can look at that in two ways mystically both in Mystic Christianity and Mystic Judaism it's kind of like Zohar it's kind of seen as this Divine Light spiritual light um but even just in the plain sense of the text it's the it's the original Power that the of the big bang that blasted the energy out into the world so you could see in all that levels now so after a while the prophets were obviously thinking about that and that one of the great prophets of course is Isaiah and that was going to bounce us all the way up into the Christmas story I hadn't forgot about it and Hanukah so let's go up to uh Isaiah chapter 9 and this is U it's verse one in the Hebrew and two in the English it's a little different all right and Isaiah is thinking about this and he's realizing that the light of creation was something spiritual and something moral good and bad so he says this the PE uh it says the people that were living in darkness they saw a great light and the people living in the land of the shadow of death that shadow is darkness that a great a light shown upon them so he's saying that light that contrast of good and bad light and dark that's way the in the back in in in in the beginning he's saying first of all there's something spiritual and he said at some point that's going to appear to Mankind in a different way that we haven't understood he said what we've you can read Genesis 1 I mean this was before Einstein when but he said some time this light is we we as a human beings we are living in darkness all of us as human beings we are living in spiritual darkness and at some point this spiritual light is going to come in and shine upon us what an amazing thing and then he says and think now what is this light what is that light was from Genesis but not just the light of the Sun but a spiritual light that comes with it that represents the difference between good and bad what is it and he's praying but he gets a vision he understands it's not a what it's not a what it's a who it's not a what it's a who the light is coming from the guy that made the light and would you ask that you're thinking of what because we're still thinking of neutral energy there is no such thing as neutral energy it's all personal and God he said that light when it comes comes to us is not going to be like just the sun shining it's going to be born into us like a baby come on whoever had that thought I think Isaiah was the first person to have that thought pretty deep thought huh that's what is verse um what is it it's it's five in Hebrew and six in English and says this for now let's just make the connection he said the people living in darkness are going to see a light what is the light no who is the light they're going to see a light because a child will be given will be born he says for a child will be born to us and a son will be given to us and on and uh the government will be on his shoulders and he and his name will be called a wonderful counselor Mighty God Everlasting father the Prince of Peace amazing so the light is going to come into this world in a baby and you think why didn't God just bring the light only like a um like the pillar of fire in the wilderness that's what the people weren't ready to see the real light they had to get was halfway you know he was like well I wish I could have seen that pillar no no no no this is better the B well why did he bring it as a baby why didn't he just come down from heaven riding on a right horse well that's a stupid question God likes babies God likes babies but why does he want to have his light come into the world coming down as an adult he wants to see a baby God likes babies that's his idea not yours you know we could bring a Le or miror because God likes babies why does he so he's going to bring his eternal light that created the world he's going to bring it into this world in the form of a baby now come on only God could think of that one huh that's it's pretty astounding so he's going to bring the light now this light because uh we're still influenced as much as we our Believers we're still influenced by kind of naturalism materialism and we think that energy is neutral there's got no no qualities to it but power in the Bible is personal the light has the character qualities of that child in it the child has the character quality of of God in it it's it's not just its energy but it's energy with love and it's energy with generosity and it's energy with Holiness and with humility and with all the all the wonderful qualities of God are in that light power that's in it it's not neutral physical light or even neutral spiritual light it is personal of the light the character the qu the character qual qualities of an all powerful and loving God I mean all the young people want to have positive energy this is the most positive energy you get you could get it's so positive that it's pure it's so pure that it's holy and it's loving and it's generous and it's patient and it's humble and it's confit in a baby I mean this is this is God's light his light it has energy in it I mean it's amazing I think the energy that created the whole universe is in that baby and from God's point of view think about the big bang with all the materialist out there how much energy to create that how to be out there energy time mass times speed of light squared I mean that's enormous amount of energy enormous amount of energy but to God that's smaller than the characteristic of love that's in the child I mean that to God that's stronger I mean all that power he's all powerful yes but what's impressing him is the love the love that's in that baby wow now we because our people have been turned away from the Lord we don't want we get sensitive about this word Ben the Son of God well here it is a child is born to us a son is given who who is this child this isn't any child it's it's the child who's also called The Mighty God and the Everlasting father and wonderful and counselor and Prince of Peace and men have did this is the child so we don't have anything to be afraid about saying the word the Son of God here it is among many places in Isaiah 9 a child is given to us a son is born to us and the government of the king that's the that's the Messiah the government will be upon him now we'll come back to that in a moment uh let's jump back and do a little bit of background to kanuka and Christmas here uh don't get offended I'm going to but what I say here just but hanuka is taken there's actually two totally different stories in hanuka one is the story of the makabe conquest and the other one is the story of the the minora the kanuk in the temple and they're to totally two different stories the story about the macbes is historically in the book of mccabes which is between what we call the law and the prophets and the New Covenant between the Old Testament and the New Testament uh Catholics actually see that as part of the Bible uh we uh Jews and Protestants don't see that as it's an inner testamental book um and it's a historical book we'll come that a minute then there's another part this thing about the lighting of the lamp in the eight days that's all the way in the gar that wasn't that wasn't written until 400 years after the time of the New Covenant and it's only in one place in other words the the the textual support that that even happened is pretty weak now that doesn't have to bother us uh because it's talking about lighting the manora in the temple and that got hundreds of references to the whole Bible so we we believe in the restoration we believe in the meaning of the in the temple whether the theia the Min is the Seven Candle the kukia is the eight and the nine candled one and that the reason why there's eight days to kanuka is because it's sukot huh did you know that kanuka was sukot kanuka was got when the temple was in the and the Tabernacle was dedicated was an 8-day ceremony from the eight days it's according to the eight days of of sukot that's when it was dedicated now when they when they conquered at least according to the story when they conquered the temple it was already past the time so they took another eight days in Kev to to uh to cleanse the temple and to and and so they had to take another eight days um and Define it and it wasn't they didn't have oil they didn't have oil that was sealed by the priest it wasn't there wasn't any oil in the city they didn't have they didn't have oil with a HEC share so it it wasn't it wasn't pure from from the from the temple Viewpoint so anyway that story did it really happen I could see yes or no it could be a later invention to kind of compete with Christmas I don't know whatever it is it but in any case it doesn't matter why do I say it doesn't matter because we we believe in the spiritual meaning of the of the manur that this baby is the light and then he comes to light the manura and we see that in Revelation chap 1 big surprise it says it's clear no mystery it says clear the manora is the Ecclesia the manora in the temple is a symbol of the Ecclesia this the branches are the different people groups and it's being lit by the high priest the high priest is the is is Yeshua he lights a different people in congregations and people of Faith all around the world he brings the light into the world and then he lights us up so that we become together Jews and people from all the nations that believe in him we become a living minora of the light of God hallelujah so that's what we're we're here to do now the mccabes and let's go back to that story macbes was basically uh um a group of ultra Orthodox Jews who conquered uh the Greeks the Greek Empire at that time and reconquered the Temple Mount Hallelujah let's eat donuts you know to celebrate but um listen the political implications of this holiday in our generation are pretty crazy I mean do we believe in that do believe do we want a group of ultra Orthodox Jews going now and taking an army and burning down the El the mosque and and and taking a building up a temple and doing that well at some point that's going to happen but I don't know that that's what we're going to say well we want that to happen right now I mean that could that could cause a lot of problems I'm saying that's basically what they did so but then after they set that up they like they became a corrupt priesthood in the government themselves and they had to be destroyed but but I realized and that's why it in the new in the New Covenant it recognized in John 10 recognizes that this was a holiday it doesn't it doesn't criticize it but it doesn't really bless it it's just this is something that happened there in other words I interpret that to mean there were good things and bad things that happened in that 200-year period of the makabe story now here's something else now this is my interpretation of it that had to happen the story of the mccabes had to happen before you get to the birth of Yeshua why the mabes were a Messianic movement not not in the sense that we mean Messianic Messianic think in the in the terms of ultra Orthodox militant conquer kill the Romans kill the kill the kill the Greeks set up the temple have aaric state you know and and that had to happen because God is preparing the people for the coming of the Messiah Yeshua so intuitively to every person there's an expectation of the Messiah coming now because because we understand that the Messiah had to come first as a baby and to suffer the the the expectations of the coming of the Messiah was correct the expectation that he would be a conqueror and set up the kingdom by driving out the Greeks and Romans at that time was wrong but it had to happen because the people wouldn't have been ready for the king to come so it built the faith of the expectation of the Messiah am I going too fast you with it built the expectations of the coming of the Messiah in a good way but it also let to led to a conflict that the people were were such a high level of expecting a militant uh Messiah at that time that Yeshua coming on dying on the cross was a scandal to them so there but so it had to happen yet it was also doomed to half of a failure half success and half failure I was thinking about that I think that kind of a makabe generation has to happen again in the generation before Yeshua coming the second time because the ex the the expectations of the coming of the Messianic Kingdom have to be built up both in Israel and around the world again in other words this holiday is having a meaning not just uh of 2,200 years ago but now it's starting to have meaning now in our country because and it's going to cause a problem it's good and bad but it's unavoidable there has to be a movement of building up expectation in our country and in the rest of the nations of the world for Yeshua to be able to come back he comes back to a Messianic apocalyptic expectations now the funny thing is this time he's not coming back to disappoint he is coming back to conquer he's not coming as a baby he's coming back as a conquering King from the heaven it's almost like what the mccabes were sort of wishing that would happen the lion of the tribe of Judah is going to come and that's what they wanted to happen 2,000 years ago and it didn't happen and they were freaked out was this a baby you know in that a crucified baby come on what this isn't what we were expecting but now he's going to come back and it will be a conquering King now here there's of course also for our people there's going to be a huge disappointment frustration surprise because when he comes it's going to be issue I mean what what what who was expecting that to happen but the Bible says when he come in it says that the that the tribe of Judah will be fighting for Jerusalem fighting for God being heroic amazing and then and then when he's going to come and he's say what you're the one we pierced and there's going to be this incredible contrast and this time fighting with Yeshua and then surprised that it is Yeshua amazing story so we're doing a kind of makabe 2.0 you know it's coming in so there'll be tremendous um positive buildup but then also a total surprise when Yeshua comes back now it's going to be a surprise also for the Christian world who are still stuck back there 2,000 years ago with that little baby in the manger you know that's not going to happen it's not going to happen he's not going to come back that way so everybody's going to surprised we're all going to be wrong you know but but but God is moving us toward this event for the Messianic Kingdom to come and now what's happened over this past 14 months since since October 7th last year you know we went through that one week of horrible really one day of horribly being slaughtered by by Kamas but really after that day our army has been unbelievable I mean just victory after Victory after Victory after Victory after Victory after all this time we get to it 15 months later you know a week before kanuka and a week before Christmas and everybody's gone Kamas is gone is gone Assad is gone Iran has been destroyed theim well they get on the two days will get wiped out but they I mean it's it's like hey we're standing on our feet and the rest of the world is cing Israel has become in this one year the single superpower of the Middle East this is shocking fact our people haven't even gotten it yet we're going like wait a minute what's happening you know what what's what's going on here we don't we we don't we don't even know how to deal with it yet we don't know how to deal with the fact that we are the superpower of the Middle East you know I mean we're getting the point that the United States wants to attack somebody here they got to come and ask us how to do it I'm not being sarcastic about that but I'm saying is that it's something Supernatural biblical because God was saying in the end times I'm going to make Israel so strong that all the rest of the world is going to look at him and say well this must be God this must be God it's going on and God is doing that now another thing that happened during this is that the ideology of a of classic secular Zionist loving you know kutnik people their motivation has been going down and what's been happening is little by little the the um daui the nationalistic religious are becoming more into the front line of the army along with another group of people who are the messianics the messian ICS and because we have an ideology to to have faith to be able to to keep fighting and to and and to win this thing and this is and what's happening now is this group has risen up now the blessing on the messianics has been that not only they fighting the front line almost nobody's gotten killed we've had one or two instances and one or two inance of people but the the numbers the the It's Supernatural God's protection on our children has been amazing totally Supernatural and among the ultra and among the the nationalistic religious the number of people that have been killed and injured is proportionally percentage wise you know I don't know five six seven times the rest of the population because they're the one fighting there the only one fighting now at really the highest level of motivation because it's too difficult now you need some kind of spiritual Faith to stand against all the evil and so it and this is coming forward so the messianics are in that and but people don't know about us but then the the National Religious it's kind of like the mcabe story is arising and so the people that believe in this type of makabe story are saying yeah it's happening we're and we are we are the new mbes the whole the whole of course I'm oversimplifying but but it's much more complex than that but basically speaking the Nationalist the Dau me the National Religious see themselves as the they are the new macbes we're coming forward and the people that used to see them the mabes themselves as the mccabes up until 2 3 years ago which was the the basically the secular left-wing Army who have incredible bravery they're they're feeling disenfranchised from that I mean even at the point of saying we're wondering maybe we shouldn't even celebrate kanuk mean this is they're seeing the political implications of it it's incredible so here we have this now just want to make uh we'll get to the moment when we see walking through the darkness let's look at that and all right now this uh child is born to us God brings his light into the world and this child is the center of everything he is the he's from even he's he was the center of God speaking and saying let there be light now if you follow this story particularly in the book of Isaiah it's so beautiful well we're not going to study the whole thing but let me just give you kind of a snapshot of it so this baby carries the light and he is the one who will be the Messianic King with the government on him all right what kind of government well it says in Isaiah 2 it says that all the nations there will be peace and prosperity in all the nations Jerusalem will be the capital city all the nations will have ambassadors coming up to Jerusalem and will come up to worship and there'll be one one beautiful K Kingdom of world peace and the world and there will be the king over that in Jerusalem that's this child the king that's in Isaiah 2 ruling the world is also the child that was born here in Isaiah 9 now it's pretty a supernatural Kingdom how's there going to be peace over the whole earth well the Bible shows us there in chapter six that this King when he grows up is going to be filled with light he's going to be still pronounced he's been resurrected from the dead he's going to be shining with light how is there going to be a king that's going to rule over the whole world if he isn't filled with the power and glory of God so Isaiah 2 says there will be a kingdom of peace all over the world with the king in Jerusalem Isaiah 6 says he's going to be resurrected from the dead and glorified and and and Isaiah 9 here says that he would be born as a child into the world well none of this is a child of course but two chapters before that Isaiah 7 says going to be born of a virgin now why people want to say that it's not true listen all the Orthodox Jews you ever notice that all of our what what's it what's the word for matriarchs all of our matriarch Sarah Ripka Rachel were all Barren as well as who else was Barron Kan the mother of of of sim Shimon and then you have uh Elizabeth the mother of the mother of John those six people went now I didn't say this the rabbis say this now they actually exaggerate this they said well why were why were why were all the mothers a aot why were they Barren and why did that the way because God wanted their the birth to be Supernatural they say that not me they say all the forefathers were born supernaturally it was a miracle that they that the children were born there in fact they even say that really it was born that way because the children Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Joseph and Judah were really born without the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve because it was a supernatural event now I don't think that's true because you'd have to be a total virgin to not have that effect but that's the exact s that's the correct thinking why were all these people in because God has and I would I would correct it to say this it's not that they overcame the power orinal sin but they were born out of a promise they were born miraculous of a promise and that Covenant promise then led the way for the full virgin Miram to be born and and this is a hope and we've talked about this of seeing uh Miriam we talked about that last week of Miriam as being the ultimate Ultra Orthodox girl I mean because what you know why are all these Orthodox girls having so many kids cuz they're thinking maybe my child maybe my child maybe my child will be the Messiah so if I can have 200 kids then I have greater odds of it being the Messiah I'm making but but the point is they are they are looking to keep themselves pure and holy and bear children because they're believing that the Messiah will come out of this generation and and Miriam was the ultimate Orthodox Jewish girl holding herself pure believing for the Messiah to come now of course it was way above what she was expecting but still look at this is I mean Christmas the birth of the Messiah should be the most Jewish holiday in the world I mean this is if you talk about Jewish Jewish Jewish the Jewish King the son of David was born into this world by an Orthodox Jewish girl who M maintained herself pure to give birth to Messiah so that God could bring a savior to all the rest of the Nations I mean this is come on this holiday is almost racist anyway so then it goes on of course and then he says uh that when this kingdom is about to come that all the nations will attack it to stop the kingdom but they will miss it that's the story of Isaiah 29 and what's called the Ariel they will come and attack and it'll be like a dream and they will miss it and not only that when they come to attack the Messiah will come as the angel of the Lord and kill all the armies that come that's Isaiah 37 and then he will come to set up his kingdom on it's all there in Isaiah amazing except for one thing which our people want to skip over to bring this Kingdom he's not only got to be pure himself he's got to make the mess the rest the people in the world pure and we're not pure we're sinful and we deserve death and judgment and so the only way this person this child who has the light of God can be the king to rule over the world is do something to get us out of sin and death how is he going to have an eternal Kingdom when we're all dying hello how's he going to have a pure Kingdom when we're all in sin he he's got to figure out a way to make us pure and there's only one way to do that is to take our sin upon himself Isaiah 53 so that then he could purify us to do that and that way he does he does several things he he takes our sin upon us to set us free he demonstrates to us what is the light of God which is sacrificial love to love other people and he proves that he is the one worthy to be the king Yeshua was crucified and said this is the king of the Jews he said well I don't know then he rose from the dead he said proof maybe you didn't believe that sign over his head when he was crucified that this is the king of the Jews but when he rose from the dead it's kind of hard to say I don't know what else you got to do you know look it the the the the C the crucifixion was the Declaration of Yeshua being the king and him changing getting us out of sin so we could be in his kingdom and the resurrection was the proof that this is the guy hey maybe it's somebody else except to be somebody else you got to die and be raised from the dead to see that happen I haven't seen that happen yet with anybody else all right so that's the story in Isaiah let's look at the last point in Isaiah uh and that is uh which has been our theme verse for this year really is Isaiah 60 veres 1-3 we'll end with this watch the word watch the play on Darkness and Light again here it's amazing from Genesis one created light Darkness the light overcomes the darkness arise and shine it really says shine with light there your light has come and for the glory of the Lord has sh shown upon you behold the darkness has covered the Earth and and fog the Nations but upon you the glory of the Lord will shine and uh the light will shine and His glory will be seen upon you there and you skip over a little bit and it says and Kings will come to your light uh Nations will come to your KN light and Kings to your Shining Glory now here we see that that all these themes come come together the light in the Darkness Darkness covering the whole Earth but then there will be a people who have the light of God in them against Great odds numerically that the darkness is bigger but the light is stronger so we have to rise and shine with light we become the manora we become the kanuk we become the extension of the Child of Light it's both Christmas and kanuka coming together into the end times apocalyptic version of the merging of Christmas and kanuka coming to this is a rise and shine he's saying here is that in the end times the the the great majority will be huge darkness and fog but in that midst will be a people in every nation that need to arise and shine they will be the living manora and their light will then come and push back the darkness As we sing in uh in we have come to as the light to drive out the darkness just I mean I so wish the Christians could see this part of the driving out the darkness and the Jews could see the part of it the Sho is where the light comes from they I'll get it pretty soon Hallelujah and then we'll have that Victory um so we're walking in this I see the darkness as being evil and the and the cloud as being confusion I interpret that you don't know if there but the the the darkness I think is the the the violence spirit in in Islam and communist dictatorships and the confusion is the the modern academic news fake you know lies that's causing confusion so you got darkness which is evil and violence you got fog which is confusion but our light has to shine within us to push back both the evil and the confusion so this world can shine and we and that's what we want to believe for this year couple comments and we'll close one is that for each of us individually it's great to read this in the Bible but we have to all walk this out in our individual lives as a nation as all the Ecclesia but each one of us individually you got to walk this out oh what a beautiful verse oh it sounds so nice now you're talking about living in a world of evil and darkness and you got to stand up by faith and let your light shine in the dark I mean this is terrifying fly demanding Faith to stand up and do that but we but we have to do that and when you know it's like Psalm 23 it says even if I have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death will fear and no evil and what I say to a lot of people listen it doesn't say when you get stuck in the Valley of the shadow of death it say when you walk through it and I've learned this year no matter what happens just put the next foot in front of your foot and then put the next foot just keep going when you feel Darkness all over you and depression and fear andosh with a Despair and just like and you can't go on just take one more step just keep going just don't stop and if you stop in the middle of the valley of death and sit down you're going to you're going to succumb to Darkness just keep going keep going and all of a sudden you'll end up in Green Pastures and sure Waters and it'll happen faster than you think but this just the way God does it the the the pathways of righteousness always go through the valley of the shadow of death but just keep walking so I'm telling you folks whatever you're going through right now just take another step and then another step after that and don't worry about that just take another step God will take care of you and he'll let the light shine so we come out of this two more quick comments one is that we work we have to walk through the valley of shadow of death we're coming out at the end of this year it just seemed to be disaster disaster disaster we come to the end of the year the only superpower in the Middle East what happened this was God this was God giving a miraculous sign to all of the Nations the now the Nations rule may not like it but they can't help seeing it you know you can't help seeing it you can be angry you can be jealous but you can not see that it's not here you know and the second thing is is for all the problems in the world folks United States is still the strongest nation in the world today and in another two weeks the majority of the cabinet members in the United States are going to be born again Christian this has never happened in history before guys be encouraged be encouraged you know something has happened and we have to pray the other thing we have to pray for is there are people that are being persecuted around the world first of all any Christian within the greater Muslim world is really under attack and they don't have the Israeli Army to help them you know so we really need to pray for them the Christians in in Iran and in Lebanon and in Egypt and in Iraq and Syria and everywhere in Jordan we need to pray for them you know and there's also places in those other Beast Nations who got Russia attacking Ukraine we have to pray for Ukraine we have to have Hong Kong China is attacking Hong Kong you got to pray for Hong Kong you have North Korea attacking South Korea have to track pray for South Korea there are nations that are standing on the front lines of the Beast powers and then like I said for for Europe we prayed early we'll end with it we just is having us think about this terrorist attack it was on this Christmas Market packed full of people I don't know if you saw the pictures of in in Eastern Eastern Germany I talked to some friends there they said look it wasn't like there was a gospel story going on in this market you know it was it was European Christian culture you know cookies and songs and and you know selling stuff and it was a commercial event but it was still Christian it was still Christian culture it was not a coincidence that's that where that attack went the attack was against Christian symbolism because they're saying we are going to destroy Europe and Europe we have to pray fast and hard CU Europe is one step away from bending its knee to to Islamic jihadism and and and they have to wake up to it but I want to believe that that this attack is is it's going to cause people to wake up you know sometimes bad events are wakeup calls okay I talked for a long time but there was a lot of material to get out father we just thank you for um this amazing period that we're in WoW everything connected with the light coming into the world Christmas Hanukah the end time Israel the Nations it's it's all happening right in front of us Lord we it's like the Bible on the newspaper seems to be everything's happening and Lord I just pray for all of us to be strong to arise and stand and don't let depression and confusion and despair and fear and don't let that take us down but you just keep walking stand up and shine Stand Up Walk shine walk in the light along with Yeshua a light the cre the world is in that baby and he's in our hearts and all of us together Hallelujah we've come to drive out of the darkness all of us are just a little light but together we're a big strong light in yeshua's name amen okay questions comments criticisms you know I I learned something from Genesis between Genesis 1 and two maybe you learned the same thing I don't know but I'd like some confirmation on this that this toou boho phenomenon okay the uh the Earth being without form and void and that between verse one and verse two there was um the fall of uh the enemy um I don't agree with that you don't agree with that so I would like to know that they teach that in Bible schools actually just cuz they teach in Bible no no no I'm just asking you what you well I could be wrong but the reason why I say it can't be that way it can't be that way because Isaiah and Ezekiel said clearly that Satan was in the Garden of Eden and he was good until that point until sin was found in him when he was in the Garden of Eden it didn't happen millenniums billions of years before that the sin of Satan when he became when he stopped being the angel of Light with Gabriel and Michael and he came down in sin was when he went to Adam and Eve and tended them to sin and got them to submit to that was his Rebellion against God that's when he became Satan and that's when it all said because had it been before that God would have wiped him out which it's just form it's like the big bang you know you form the material God's formul he's you know straighten it up not everybody agrees with me but that's how I see okay so I just wanted to know what that was my uh dearly beloved departed husband was preaching what you're saying now about Europe 30 years ago in 95 he wrote a book exposing the purposes and plans of Islam and I can only think now when you you so graphically describe bumping into 200 people may this be a wakeup call to to to Europe because they've always said first we get the Saturday people then we get the Sunday people and so but Europe's been kind of in la la land and there are many many minimalistic uh as you say you know Christian in name but of course there's many beautiful Christians in Europe and and there are many many beautiful ones so may God arise in their midst and may there be great Revival because that's what it's going to take in yeshua's name and so we just pray that right now Lord may this horror event serve as a a wakeup call to the Beloved uh Believers in in Europe to make hey to become uh what you said about the we're going to arise and Conquer um uh uh and Conquer spiritually the rest of their nations in yeshua's name I'll just make a also comment to that that what you call the La La Land um I don't think the problem with Europe is Islam the problem with Europe is sin and sin sexual sin carnality greed Comfort all that sin is blinding themselves is blinding them to the danger you know if they would just get out I mean the lust of this world blind people you give the lust of the world you're just it's like looking in a mirror you don't see what's on the other side of the mirror so if they if the people just repent and come to the Lord then it wouldn't be any problem to drive the the the other forces of evil out but it's that's what's that's what's causing them not to see it there's so involved in I mean God look at look at some of the stuff in the Eurovision you understand why Islam is having no problem taking over last comment okay just a a thought um it doesn't say when the Lord was born um so any day is good but the interesting thing is if uh kanuka is delayed toot then Christmas is a delayed sukot as well or in a way um interesting if you follow um Elizabeth getting pregnant and then Mary you figure out when Elizabeth gave birth to John and the time that the Bible mentions until Yeshua is born you get to sukot somehow not somehow but this is interesting um I say with everything religion can do the facts are still there with saying yeah hanuka is this and it was a miracle about oil uh but it the fact it is Suk uh also saying no December is the birth of Messiah could be a different uh story I would just say this I mean I think I agree with you we would both say that doesn't say in the Bible when Yeshua was born but seems to us by a careful reading that he was born in sukot in in in the fall which means that Mary was conceived at the time of kanuka and what was what was the miracle there was nothing miracle in his birth the miracle was in the conception so the miracle of the of the Christmas story was at Christmas time it just wasn't the birth it was the conception that's when the light came into the world the supernatural light came into the world and came inside of her when she was conceived when he he was born I don't see anything all that you know of course it was miraculous and people came from the and and all that to be but but the uh I I see it probably that way but hard I've always thought that you know in in Genesis 9 and10 when it's talking about the sons of um you know Shem and and yeffet that you're a lot of those nations are European Christian nations and it it's the prophecy that yeffet will be in the tents of Shem so if God is going to if God has restored Israel to the land and and and yed is supposed to dwell in the tents of Shem then I have hope for Europe I have hope that that God is going to fulfill that Promise Too in making it whole amen I like what T told me so the reason there wasn't any room at the end because it had to be a holiday hadn't been a holiday it would have been room anyway God bless you thank you everybody
