0:00:00.399,0:00:02.120
so this year we

0:00:02.120,0:00:06.960
have Christmas and kanuka the same time

0:00:06.960,0:00:08.440
so how are we not going to talk about a

0:00:08.440,0:00:09.760
little bit we'll talk about a little bit

0:00:09.760,0:00:12.320
the light of God coming into the world

0:00:12.320,0:00:14.679
which is the common theme of both of

0:00:14.679,0:00:16.840
them maybe give a little bit of

0:00:16.840,0:00:19.240
background both to uh Christmas and

0:00:19.240,0:00:22.680
kanuka so let's start how not in

0:00:22.680,0:00:25.279
um Genesis chapter

0:00:25.279,0:00:29.560
1 vers 1-4

0:00:32.719,0:00:34.160
says in the beginning God created the

0:00:34.160,0:00:37.440
heavens and the Earth and the Earth was

0:00:37.440,0:00:40.480
formless and void and darkness was over

0:00:40.480,0:00:43.559
the face of the deep notice

0:00:43.559,0:00:45.960
immediately in the first couple of

0:00:45.960,0:00:49.039
verses of the Bible of Genesis that

0:00:49.039,0:00:51.800
there's a a conflict between Darkness

0:00:51.800,0:00:54.480
and Light it's amazing skip out to the

0:00:54.480,0:00:58.039
next verse coming

0:01:03.199,0:01:05.400
and God said let there be light and

0:01:05.400,0:01:07.600
there was light and God saw that the

0:01:07.600,0:01:11.320
light was good and God separated between

0:01:11.320,0:01:13.680
the light and the Darkness so we've got

0:01:13.680,0:01:15.360
four times it says light and three times

0:01:15.360,0:01:17.520
it says Darkness says the light is good

0:01:17.520,0:01:19.880
and the Darkness is bad so you see right

0:01:19.880,0:01:22.479
at the beginning at the very beginning

0:01:22.479,0:01:25.000
of the Bible there's a conflict between

0:01:25.000,0:01:28.159
and or contrast contrast I would say

0:01:28.159,0:01:30.400
physically between light light and

0:01:30.400,0:01:33.759
darkness and a conflict between good and

0:01:33.759,0:01:36.280
bad the the spiritual part of light is

0:01:36.280,0:01:38.880
in a conflict with the spiritual part of

0:01:38.880,0:01:41.560
darkness in the natural physical world

0:01:41.560,0:01:44.280
there's just a uh a contrast between the

0:01:44.280,0:01:50.600
two um it's amazing to think that um

0:01:50.600,0:01:52.320
that this is how that God created the

0:01:52.320,0:01:54.799
world by using the power of

0:01:54.799,0:01:57.759
light um I we don't know what people

0:01:57.759,0:02:01.079
thought for most of the past

0:02:01.079,0:02:03.479
6,000 years until Einstein came and he

0:02:03.479,0:02:06.399
and he said that that energy is equal to

0:02:06.399,0:02:09.119
mass times the speed of light I mean it

0:02:09.119,0:02:12.800
it's it's that what we think is physical

0:02:12.800,0:02:16.480
is actually you can convert between mass

0:02:16.480,0:02:18.560
and light I mean it's who would have

0:02:18.560,0:02:20.319
thought of that you think energy being

0:02:20.319,0:02:22.080
the power of the Holy Spirit the dunamis

0:02:22.080,0:02:24.440
of the Holy Spirit Light being light and

0:02:24.440,0:02:25.760
mass is being everything that was

0:02:25.760,0:02:27.760
created I mean Einstein said that all

0:02:27.760,0:02:29.959
goes together I don't know what people

0:02:29.959,0:02:31.959
thought I mean until this time you read

0:02:31.959,0:02:34.360
those vers said well I believe but now

0:02:34.360,0:02:37.200
it's it's physically totally obvious now

0:02:37.200,0:02:40.640
it what it means is also that what we

0:02:40.640,0:02:43.440
what looks to be physical is not as

0:02:43.440,0:02:46.360
physical as you think it is because mass

0:02:46.360,0:02:49.640
is really just converted energy if if as

0:02:49.640,0:02:51.519
I understand the physics and I don't

0:02:51.519,0:02:53.720
understand it that all the physical

0:02:53.720,0:02:55.800
world is actually very tiny tiny

0:02:55.800,0:02:57.440
particles that are moving very very

0:02:57.440,0:02:59.920
quickly and so it gives sort of an

0:02:59.920,0:03:01.760
illusion that it's Mass but it's not

0:03:01.760,0:03:04.319
really it's tiny little articles

0:03:04.319,0:03:06.799
particles that are moving so quickly

0:03:06.799,0:03:09.440
that it it uh but really there's so much

0:03:09.440,0:03:11.360
space between them it's kind of like if

0:03:11.360,0:03:13.480
you look at the solar system if you

0:03:13.480,0:03:15.040
would look at the solar system far away

0:03:15.040,0:03:17.319
it would look like one Mass but when you

0:03:17.319,0:03:20.080
get up close there's there's light years

0:03:20.080,0:03:22.080
of distance between the planets and

0:03:22.080,0:03:23.640
everything as I understand if you were

0:03:23.640,0:03:25.519
to take all the matter in the world and

0:03:25.519,0:03:27.640
collapse it down so that there would be

0:03:27.640,0:03:30.439
no space between it at all just matter

0:03:30.439,0:03:32.159
matter matter you could put all the

0:03:32.159,0:03:33.760
matter in the universe basically in your

0:03:33.760,0:03:37.680
hands now it would weigh you know trilli

0:03:37.680,0:03:38.959
beyond what we could imagine that it

0:03:38.959,0:03:40.799
could but really the mass you mean the

0:03:40.799,0:03:43.480
Bible says that God held the mass of the

0:03:43.480,0:03:45.000
universe in his hand before he created

0:03:45.000,0:03:48.120
it now think of this and then he and

0:03:48.120,0:03:50.519
then it he multiplied it by light so

0:03:50.519,0:03:52.599
what we think of is just mass is not

0:03:52.599,0:03:54.519
really mass is convertible into light

0:03:54.519,0:03:57.840
and back and forth incredible I was

0:03:57.840,0:04:00.799
thinking that the example of of a

0:04:00.799,0:04:02.879
hologram not not what we have as a

0:04:02.879,0:04:04.599
hologram but if you had a super hologram

0:04:04.599,0:04:06.840
that was actually really

0:04:06.840,0:04:08.720
three-dimensional where you could see a

0:04:08.720,0:04:11.159
figure that was made of light particles

0:04:11.159,0:04:13.439
and you you could make a picture out of

0:04:13.439,0:04:16.479
light almost like a you know 3D printing

0:04:16.479,0:04:18.759
but if you could see that you could

0:04:18.759,0:04:20.280
actually see a figure there would there

0:04:20.280,0:04:21.919
would be a figure made out of light it

0:04:21.919,0:04:23.919
would be real you could actually walk

0:04:23.919,0:04:25.440
right through

0:04:25.440,0:04:28.160
it it doesn't mean it wouldn't be there

0:04:28.160,0:04:29.400
but that's what the world is the world

0:04:29.400,0:04:33.520
is kind of God's light hologram amazing

0:04:33.520,0:04:36.600
and if you understood it like Yeshua you

0:04:36.600,0:04:38.080
could walk right through the wall just

0:04:38.080,0:04:40.240
like you could walk through a hologram

0:04:40.240,0:04:42.639
we don't understand it you know by the

0:04:42.639,0:04:44.960
way I know this don't get offended all

0:04:44.960,0:04:48.600
of us we all talk about supernatural

0:04:48.600,0:04:50.199
that world's not in the Bible not one

0:04:50.199,0:04:52.479
time that I'm aware of what I think that

0:04:52.479,0:04:53.880
we what our understanding of the world

0:04:53.880,0:04:56.120
is subnatural what you think of as

0:04:56.120,0:04:58.080
Miracles is just being natural it's not

0:04:58.080,0:05:00.240
Supernatural That's just being natural

0:05:00.240,0:05:02.560
the the to think the natural world is is

0:05:02.560,0:05:04.120
something not under our control is

0:05:04.120,0:05:06.720
subnatural know what I'm saying so if we

0:05:06.720,0:05:08.560
were to understand how things work so

0:05:08.560,0:05:10.960
the whole world is like that so it's

0:05:10.960,0:05:13.000
kind of a a hologram now if you were to

0:05:13.000,0:05:16.080
make a hologram light particles forming

0:05:16.080,0:05:17.880
a being that you could walk through and

0:05:17.880,0:05:20.720
walk out now if you would look at that

0:05:20.720,0:05:24.039
say I'm looking at a hologram here and

0:05:24.039,0:05:26.720
uh then I'd have to ask the question

0:05:26.720,0:05:29.400
where did that hologram come from if

0:05:29.400,0:05:30.919
there's hologram here there must be

0:05:30.919,0:05:33.039
somebody sitting somewhere else this

0:05:33.039,0:05:35.000
hologram didn't get here by itself

0:05:35.000,0:05:36.880
there's somebody somewhere else that

0:05:36.880,0:05:38.840
designed the Hologram and is shooting

0:05:38.840,0:05:40.960
the picture of this hologram into here

0:05:40.960,0:05:42.800
so when we look at the universe it's

0:05:42.800,0:05:45.240
it's a hologram according to Genesis 1

0:05:45.240,0:05:47.319
and Einstein physics and you look at

0:05:47.319,0:05:48.800
this well it didn't couldn't get there

0:05:48.800,0:05:51.240
by itself who where's the guy or where's

0:05:51.240,0:05:53.080
the thing that made that got that put

0:05:53.080,0:05:55.759
this hologram into place and if you

0:05:55.759,0:05:57.520
realize that's what matter is it can

0:05:57.520,0:05:59.199
matter can convert back and forth into

0:05:59.199,0:06:03.080
energy and the energy is light come on

0:06:03.080,0:06:04.440
that's in the Bible it's the first verse

0:06:04.440,0:06:05.919
of the Bible so it says the light comes

0:06:05.919,0:06:08.919
in and out and um and when you realize

0:06:08.919,0:06:11.160
it all matters that way so maybe you

0:06:11.160,0:06:13.199
could walk through a hologram now let's

0:06:13.199,0:06:15.360
think of the air around us I mean

0:06:15.360,0:06:17.720
there's this is not Hollow front of us

0:06:17.720,0:06:19.479
there's air right there's particles in

0:06:19.479,0:06:21.800
the air around us but you can walk

0:06:21.800,0:06:23.000
through it because it doesn't mean

0:06:23.000,0:06:24.560
there's not particles there there's

0:06:24.560,0:06:26.360
particles there it's created and it's

0:06:26.360,0:06:28.479
got light in it there's light and what

0:06:28.479,0:06:29.880
else is in the air around us one of the

0:06:29.880,0:06:33.199
things is is water there water now you

0:06:33.199,0:06:35.160
could have in the air right now if it's

0:06:35.160,0:06:38.199
a dry day 10% humidity you go wet day

0:06:38.199,0:06:40.400
you got 90% humidity you can have more

0:06:40.400,0:06:42.880
or less water in the air but you can

0:06:42.880,0:06:44.520
still walk through it you know what I'm

0:06:44.520,0:06:46.280
saying now if it gets more than that you

0:06:46.280,0:06:48.599
could actually have a cloud and if you

0:06:48.599,0:06:50.840
got more than that you have water and

0:06:50.840,0:06:52.479
then the water could come come down I

0:06:52.479,0:06:54.440
mean it's it's but it's all just

0:06:54.440,0:06:56.919
different forms of light and energy and

0:06:56.919,0:06:59.720
so just as if you understood it I mean

0:06:59.720,0:07:02.800
how can you even walk on Solid Ground I

0:07:02.800,0:07:04.319
mean if you could see what was there you

0:07:04.319,0:07:06.360
would be terrified I don't know how we

0:07:06.360,0:07:07.879
all sit on a plane you know I was

0:07:07.879,0:07:09.000
thinking the last time I flew on a plane

0:07:09.000,0:07:10.800
I was sitting there and it was kind of

0:07:10.800,0:07:12.960
windy outside we're up in the there the

0:07:12.960,0:07:14.879
plane is kind of shaking I'm thinking

0:07:14.879,0:07:18.160
between me and being 30,000 you know

0:07:18.160,0:07:21.960
feet above the ground is this thin tin

0:07:21.960,0:07:24.240
can that I could probably punch through

0:07:24.240,0:07:26.280
it if I hit it or not I said why am I

0:07:26.280,0:07:28.360
trusting that I could sit here because

0:07:28.360,0:07:30.680
cuz really but if if IID understand

0:07:30.680,0:07:31.840
Yeshua could have just walked right

0:07:31.840,0:07:33.560
through the plane and just kept walking

0:07:33.560,0:07:35.080
you could understand the physics of

0:07:35.080,0:07:38.560
what's going on so if you walk on hard

0:07:38.560,0:07:40.960
land it's just it's just particles

0:07:40.960,0:07:43.080
spinning around and you walk on water

0:07:43.080,0:07:45.639
it's particles spinning around a little

0:07:45.639,0:07:47.000
faster a little wider and then you could

0:07:47.000,0:07:49.360
walk on air and a cloud and think about

0:07:49.360,0:07:51.599
Yeshua he could walk through a wall he

0:07:51.599,0:07:53.720
could walk on top of the water he could

0:07:53.720,0:07:55.840
rise up in a cloud and and he looked at

0:07:55.840,0:07:57.759
him and said you guys don't even

0:07:57.759,0:07:59.879
understand this I'm like this is ABC why

0:07:59.879,0:08:01.759
aren't you all doing this you're going

0:08:01.759,0:08:04.400
what because we don't understand if we

0:08:04.400,0:08:06.960
could see what was really what nature

0:08:06.960,0:08:11.199
was made up it's it's amazing so um so

0:08:11.199,0:08:13.240
this is the world we live in and we look

0:08:13.240,0:08:15.120
at this world and a lot of the world is

0:08:15.120,0:08:17.479
a play on light and darkness and there

0:08:17.479,0:08:19.520
must have been somebody that made this

0:08:19.520,0:08:23.039
light now a lot of Bible commentaries

0:08:23.039,0:08:25.440
both Jewish and Christian have noticed

0:08:25.440,0:08:27.560
the fact that the sun wasn't created

0:08:27.560,0:08:28.960
till the fourth day and light created

0:08:28.960,0:08:30.680
the universe on the first day which

0:08:30.680,0:08:32.240
means the light of the first day wasn't

0:08:32.240,0:08:33.880
just the light of the sun it was before

0:08:33.880,0:08:36.399
the sun it was and you can look at that

0:08:36.399,0:08:39.120
in two ways mystically both in Mystic

0:08:39.120,0:08:41.240
Christianity and Mystic Judaism it's

0:08:41.240,0:08:43.279
kind of like Zohar it's kind of seen as

0:08:43.279,0:08:47.160
this Divine Light spiritual light um but

0:08:47.160,0:08:49.120
even just in the plain sense of the text

0:08:49.120,0:08:51.800
it's the it's the original Power that

0:08:51.800,0:08:54.360
just of the big bang that blasted the

0:08:54.360,0:08:56.519
energy out into the world so you could

0:08:56.519,0:09:00.440
see in all that levels now so

0:09:00.440,0:09:01.800
after a while the prophets were

0:09:01.800,0:09:03.680
obviously thinking about that and that

0:09:03.680,0:09:05.200
one of the great prophets of course is

0:09:05.200,0:09:06.560
Isaiah and that was going to bounce us

0:09:06.560,0:09:08.240
all the way up into the Christmas story

0:09:08.240,0:09:10.160
I hadn't forgot about it and Hanukkah so

0:09:10.160,0:09:14.200
let's go up to uh Isaiah chapter

0:09:15.160,0:09:18.360
9 and this is um it's verse one in the

0:09:18.360,0:09:19.640
Hebrew and two in the English it's a

0:09:19.640,0:09:22.959
little different right and Isaiah is

0:09:22.959,0:09:25.959
thinking about this and he's realizing

0:09:25.959,0:09:28.120
that the light of

0:09:28.120,0:09:30.120
creation was

0:09:30.120,0:09:31.320
something

0:09:31.320,0:09:34.240
spiritual and something moral good and

0:09:34.240,0:09:39.120
bad so he says this

0:09:43.040,0:09:45.399
the it says the people that were living

0:09:45.399,0:09:48.959
in darkness they saw a great light and

0:09:48.959,0:09:50.920
the people living in the land of the

0:09:50.920,0:09:52.560
shadow of death that's Shadow is

0:09:52.560,0:09:55.399
darkness that a great a light shown upon

0:09:55.399,0:09:59.800
them so he's saying that light that

0:09:59.800,0:10:01.720
contrast of good and bad light and dark

0:10:01.720,0:10:03.760
that's way the in the back in in in in

0:10:03.760,0:10:07.000
the beginning he's saying first of all

0:10:07.000,0:10:09.760
there's something spiritual and he said

0:10:09.760,0:10:12.720
at some point that's going to appear to

0:10:12.720,0:10:14.640
Mankind in a different way that we

0:10:14.640,0:10:16.640
haven't understood he said that what

0:10:16.640,0:10:18.839
we've you can read Genesis 1 I mean this

0:10:18.839,0:10:21.560
was before Einstein when but he said

0:10:21.560,0:10:25.440
sometime this light is we we as a human

0:10:25.440,0:10:27.200
beings we are living in darkness all of

0:10:27.200,0:10:29.640
us as human beings we are living living

0:10:29.640,0:10:32.120
in spiritual darkness and at some point

0:10:32.120,0:10:35.360
this spiritual light is going to come in

0:10:35.360,0:10:37.399
and shine upon

0:10:37.399,0:10:40.560
us what an amazing thing and then he

0:10:40.560,0:10:44.000
says I think now what is this

0:10:44.000,0:10:48.200
light what is that light was from

0:10:48.200,0:10:50.880
Genesis but not just the light of the

0:10:50.880,0:10:53.920
Sun but a spiritual light that comes

0:10:53.920,0:10:55.560
with it that represents it between good

0:10:55.560,0:10:57.839
and bad what is

0:10:57.839,0:11:00.360
it and he's praying when he gets a

0:11:00.360,0:11:03.480
vision he understands it's not a what

0:11:03.480,0:11:05.920
it's not a what it's a

0:11:05.920,0:11:09.760
who it's not a what it's a who the light

0:11:09.760,0:11:11.560
is coming from the guy that made the

0:11:11.560,0:11:13.519
light and would you ask that you're

0:11:13.519,0:11:14.839
thinking of what because we're still

0:11:14.839,0:11:16.800
thinking of neutral energy this there is

0:11:16.800,0:11:19.279
no such thing as neutral energy it's all

0:11:19.279,0:11:21.440
personal and God he said that light when

0:11:21.440,0:11:23.560
it comes to us is not going to be like

0:11:23.560,0:11:25.760
just the sun shining it's going to be

0:11:25.760,0:11:29.399
born into us like a baby come on whoever

0:11:29.399,0:11:30.800
had that thought I think Isaiah was the

0:11:30.800,0:11:33.200
first person to have that thought pretty

0:11:33.200,0:11:36.160
deep thought huh that's what is verse um

0:11:36.160,0:11:39.279
what is it it's it's five in Hebrew six

0:11:39.279,0:11:42.200
in English and says

0:11:48.800,0:11:51.600
this for now let's just make the

0:11:51.600,0:11:53.440
connection he said the people living in

0:11:53.440,0:11:55.320
darkness are going to see a light what

0:11:55.320,0:11:58.399
is the light no who is the light they're

0:11:58.399,0:12:00.160
going to see a light

0:12:00.160,0:12:02.800
because a child will be given will be

0:12:02.800,0:12:05.720
born he says for a child will be born to

0:12:05.720,0:12:09.079
us and a son will be given to us and on

0:12:09.079,0:12:11.959
and uh the government will be on his

0:12:11.959,0:12:13.639
shoulders and he and his name will be

0:12:13.639,0:12:17.480
called a wonderful counselor Mighty God

0:12:17.480,0:12:20.399
Everlasting father the Prince of Peace

0:12:20.399,0:12:23.320
amazing so the light is going to come

0:12:23.320,0:12:26.279
into this world in a

0:12:26.279,0:12:31.160
baby and you think why didn't God just

0:12:31.160,0:12:35.360
bring the light only like a um like the

0:12:35.360,0:12:37.800
pillar of fire in the wilderness that's

0:12:37.800,0:12:39.399
what the people weren't ready to see the

0:12:39.399,0:12:42.160
real light they had get was halfway you

0:12:42.160,0:12:43.120
know he was like well I wish I could

0:12:43.120,0:12:44.760
have seen that pillar no no no no this

0:12:44.760,0:12:46.600
is better the B well why did he bring it

0:12:46.600,0:12:48.800
as a baby why didn't he just come down

0:12:48.800,0:12:50.600
from heaven riding on a right

0:12:50.600,0:12:54.000
horse well that's a stupid question God

0:12:54.000,0:12:56.360
likes

0:12:57.240,0:12:59.680
babies God likes babies

0:12:59.680,0:13:00.800
but why does he want to have his light

0:13:00.800,0:13:02.040
come into the world coming down as an

0:13:02.040,0:13:04.120
adult he wants to see a baby God likes

0:13:04.120,0:13:06.360
babies that's his idea not yours you

0:13:06.360,0:13:09.279
know we could bring a Le oror because

0:13:09.279,0:13:11.440
God likes babies why does he so he's

0:13:11.440,0:13:14.120
going to bring his eternal light that

0:13:14.120,0:13:16.240
created the world he's going to bring it

0:13:16.240,0:13:18.199
into this world in the form of a baby

0:13:18.199,0:13:20.560
now come on only God could think of that

0:13:20.560,0:13:23.480
one huh that's pretty astounding so he's

0:13:23.480,0:13:25.920
going to bring the light now this light

0:13:25.920,0:13:28.959
because uh we're still influenced as

0:13:28.959,0:13:30.959
much much as we are believers we're

0:13:30.959,0:13:33.880
still influenced by kind of naturalism

0:13:33.880,0:13:37.079
materialism and we think that energy is

0:13:37.079,0:13:40.000
neutral there's got no no qualities to

0:13:40.000,0:13:43.360
it but power in the Bible is personal

0:13:43.360,0:13:47.120
the light has the character qualities of

0:13:47.120,0:13:49.720
that child in

0:13:50.560,0:13:53.600
it the child has the character quality

0:13:53.600,0:13:57.199
of of God in it it's it's not just its

0:13:57.199,0:13:59.880
energy but it's energy with love

0:13:59.880,0:14:02.600
and its energy with generosity and its

0:14:02.600,0:14:04.440
energy with Holiness and with humility

0:14:04.440,0:14:06.279
and with all the all the wonderful

0:14:06.279,0:14:08.480
qualities of God are in that light power

0:14:08.480,0:14:11.639
that's in it it's not neutral physical

0:14:11.639,0:14:14.800
light or even neutral spiritual light it

0:14:14.800,0:14:18.519
is personal of the light the character

0:14:18.519,0:14:22.040
the qu the character qual qualities of

0:14:22.040,0:14:25.360
an all powerful and loving God I mean

0:14:25.360,0:14:26.399
all the young people want to have

0:14:26.399,0:14:27.920
positive energy this is the most

0:14:27.920,0:14:30.320
positive energy you get you could get

0:14:30.320,0:14:33.079
it's so positive that it's pure it's so

0:14:33.079,0:14:35.600
pure that it's holy and it's loving and

0:14:35.600,0:14:37.680
it's generous and it's patient and it's

0:14:37.680,0:14:40.839
humble and it's confit in a baby I mean

0:14:40.839,0:14:44.000
this is this is God's light his light it

0:14:44.000,0:14:45.920
has energy in it I mean it's amazing

0:14:45.920,0:14:48.440
think the energy that created the whole

0:14:48.440,0:14:51.959
universe is in that baby and from God's

0:14:51.959,0:14:54.399
point of view think about the big bang

0:14:54.399,0:14:57.040
with all the materialist out there how

0:14:57.040,0:15:00.040
much energy to create that how to be out

0:15:00.040,0:15:03.000
there energy time mass times speed of

0:15:03.000,0:15:04.839
light squar I mean that's enormous

0:15:04.839,0:15:06.800
amount of energy enormous amount of

0:15:06.800,0:15:10.399
energy but to God that's smaller than

0:15:10.399,0:15:12.120
the characteristic of love that's in the

0:15:12.120,0:15:14.240
child I mean that to God that's stronger

0:15:14.240,0:15:16.120
I mean all that power he's all

0:15:16.120,0:15:18.959
powerful but what's impressing him is

0:15:18.959,0:15:21.800
the love the love that's in that baby

0:15:21.800,0:15:25.120
wow now we

0:15:25.120,0:15:27.839
because our people have been turned away

0:15:27.839,0:15:30.440
from the Lord we want

0:15:30.440,0:15:33.120
we get sensitive about this word Ben the

0:15:33.120,0:15:34.560
Son of God well here it is a child is

0:15:34.560,0:15:37.279
born to us a son is

0:15:37.279,0:15:39.800
given who who is this child this isn't

0:15:39.800,0:15:42.600
any child it's it's the child who's also

0:15:42.600,0:15:44.199
called The Mighty God and the

0:15:44.199,0:15:45.839
Everlasting father and wonderful and

0:15:45.839,0:15:48.120
counselor and Prince of Peace and Men

0:15:48.120,0:15:49.880
this is the child so we don't have

0:15:49.880,0:15:51.240
anything to be afraid about saying the

0:15:51.240,0:15:53.480
word the Son of God here it is among

0:15:53.480,0:15:57.480
many places in Isaiah 9 a child is given

0:15:57.480,0:15:59.480
to us a son is Born To Us

0:15:59.480,0:16:01.199
and the government of the king that's

0:16:01.199,0:16:03.399
the that's the Messiah the government

0:16:03.399,0:16:07.240
will be upon him now we'll come back to

0:16:07.240,0:16:09.959
that in a moment uh let's jump back and

0:16:09.959,0:16:12.399
do a little bit of background

0:16:12.399,0:16:16.079
to kanuka and Christmas here uh don't

0:16:16.079,0:16:18.399
get offended I'm going to but what I say

0:16:18.399,0:16:22.319
here just but kanuka is taken there's

0:16:22.319,0:16:24.160
actually two totally different stories

0:16:24.160,0:16:26.639
in hanuka one is the story of the makabe

0:16:26.639,0:16:28.120
conquest and the other one is the story

0:16:28.120,0:16:32.000
of the the Min the kanuk in the temple

0:16:32.000,0:16:33.399
and they're to totally two different

0:16:33.399,0:16:36.360
stories the story about the mabes is

0:16:36.360,0:16:38.160
historically in the book of mccabes

0:16:38.160,0:16:40.160
which is between what we call the law

0:16:40.160,0:16:41.480
and the prophets and the New Covenant

0:16:41.480,0:16:42.800
between the Old Testament and the New

0:16:42.800,0:16:45.079
Testament uh Catholics actually see that

0:16:45.079,0:16:48.120
as part of the Bible uh we Jews and

0:16:48.120,0:16:49.720
Protestants don't see that as it's an

0:16:49.720,0:16:52.560
inner testamental book um and it's a

0:16:52.560,0:16:54.560
historical book we'll come that to

0:16:54.560,0:16:56.000
minute then there's another part this

0:16:56.000,0:16:57.319
thing about the lighting of the lamp in

0:16:57.319,0:16:59.639
the eight days that's all the way in the

0:16:59.639,0:17:01.519
gar that wasn't that wasn't written till

0:17:01.519,0:17:03.920
400 years after the time of the New

0:17:03.920,0:17:06.079
Covenant and it's only in one place in

0:17:06.079,0:17:08.240
other words the the the textual support

0:17:08.240,0:17:11.199
that that even happened is pretty weak

0:17:11.199,0:17:14.480
now that doesn't have to bother us uh

0:17:14.480,0:17:16.480
because it's talking about lighting the

0:17:16.480,0:17:18.959
manora in the temple and that's got

0:17:18.959,0:17:20.439
hundreds of references to the whole

0:17:20.439,0:17:22.160
Bible so we we believe in the

0:17:22.160,0:17:24.880
restoration we believe in the meaning of

0:17:24.880,0:17:27.280
the in the

0:17:27.280,0:17:31.200
temple whether the kanuk the Min is the

0:17:31.200,0:17:33.559
Seven Candle the kukia is the eight and

0:17:33.559,0:17:34.480
the

0:17:34.480,0:17:38.120
nine candled one and that the reason why

0:17:38.120,0:17:39.919
there's eight days to kanuka is because

0:17:39.919,0:17:43.440
it's sukot huh did you know that kanuka

0:17:43.440,0:17:47.000
was sukot kanuka was got when the temple

0:17:47.000,0:17:49.160
was in the and the Tabernacle was

0:17:49.160,0:17:51.720
dedicated was an 8-day ceremony from the

0:17:51.720,0:17:53.840
eight days that's according to the8 days

0:17:53.840,0:17:57.080
of of sukot that's when it was dedicated

0:17:57.080,0:17:58.919
now when they when they conquered

0:17:58.919,0:18:00.039
according the story when they conquered

0:18:00.039,0:18:02.400
the temple it was already past the time

0:18:02.400,0:18:06.520
so they took another 8 days in Kev to to

0:18:06.520,0:18:09.520
uh to cleanse the temple and to and and

0:18:09.520,0:18:11.840
so they had to take another eight days

0:18:11.840,0:18:13.240
um and Define it and it wasn't they

0:18:13.240,0:18:15.120
didn't have oil they didn't have oil

0:18:15.120,0:18:17.000
that was sealed by the priest it wasn't

0:18:17.000,0:18:18.720
there wasn't any oil in the city they

0:18:18.720,0:18:22.200
didn't have they didn't have oil with

0:18:22.640,0:18:25.679
Aim so it wasn't it wasn't pure from

0:18:25.679,0:18:27.559
from the from the temple Viewpoint so

0:18:27.559,0:18:31.480
anyway that story did it really happen I

0:18:31.480,0:18:33.799
could see yes or no it could be a later

0:18:33.799,0:18:35.200
invention to kind of compete with

0:18:35.200,0:18:37.919
Christmas I don't know whatever it is it

0:18:37.919,0:18:39.520
but in any case it doesn't matter why do

0:18:39.520,0:18:41.600
I say it doesn't matter because we we

0:18:41.600,0:18:44.880
believe in the spiritual meaning of the

0:18:44.880,0:18:49.360
of the manur that this baby is the light

0:18:49.360,0:18:52.039
and then he comes to light the manur and

0:18:52.039,0:18:55.280
we see that in Revelation chap 1 big

0:18:55.280,0:18:57.799
surprise it says it's clear no mystery

0:18:57.799,0:19:00.840
it says clear the manora is the Ecclesia

0:19:00.840,0:19:03.080
the manora in the temple is a symbol of

0:19:03.080,0:19:05.360
the Ecclesia this the branches are the

0:19:05.360,0:19:07.960
different people groups and it's being

0:19:07.960,0:19:09.840
lit by the high priest the high priest

0:19:09.840,0:19:12.320
is the is is Yeshua he lights a

0:19:12.320,0:19:14.280
different people in congregations and

0:19:14.280,0:19:16.679
people of Faith all around the world he

0:19:16.679,0:19:18.360
brings the light into the world and then

0:19:18.360,0:19:21.280
he lights us up so that we become

0:19:21.280,0:19:23.720
together Jews and people from all the

0:19:23.720,0:19:26.840
nations that believe in him we become a

0:19:26.840,0:19:30.400
living minora of the light of God

0:19:30.400,0:19:32.280
hallelujah so that's what we're we're

0:19:32.280,0:19:34.559
here to do now the

0:19:34.559,0:19:37.559
mccabes and let's go back to that story

0:19:37.559,0:19:40.440
macbes was basically

0:19:40.440,0:19:46.400
uh um a group of ultra Orthodox Jews who

0:19:46.400,0:19:49.039
conquered uh the Greeks the Greek Empire

0:19:49.039,0:19:53.120
at that time and reconquered the Temple

0:19:53.120,0:19:57.360
Mount Hallelujah let's eat donuts you

0:19:57.360,0:19:59.799
know to celebrate but

0:19:59.799,0:20:04.159
um listen the political implications of

0:20:04.159,0:20:09.159
this holiday in our generation

0:20:09.159,0:20:13.200
are pretty crazy I mean do we believe in

0:20:13.200,0:20:15.760
that do we believe do we want a group of

0:20:15.760,0:20:18.280
ultra Orthodox Jews going now and taking

0:20:18.280,0:20:21.559
an army and burning down the eloa mosque

0:20:21.559,0:20:23.240
and and and taking a building up a

0:20:23.240,0:20:24.960
temple and doing that well at some point

0:20:24.960,0:20:26.880
that's going to happen but I don't know

0:20:26.880,0:20:27.880
that that's what we're going to say well

0:20:27.880,0:20:29.320
we want that to happen right now I mean

0:20:29.320,0:20:30.440
that could that could cause a lot of

0:20:30.440,0:20:32.440
problems I'm saying that's basically

0:20:32.440,0:20:36.400
what they did so but then after they set

0:20:36.400,0:20:40.080
that up they like they became a corrupt

0:20:40.080,0:20:41.600
priesthood in the government themselves

0:20:41.600,0:20:44.000
and they had to be destroyed but what I

0:20:44.000,0:20:47.039
realized and that's why it the in the

0:20:47.039,0:20:48.840
new in the New Covenant it recognizes in

0:20:48.840,0:20:50.360
John 10 recognizes that this was a

0:20:50.360,0:20:52.919
holiday it doesn't it doesn't criticize

0:20:52.919,0:20:55.360
it but doesn't really bless it it's just

0:20:55.360,0:20:57.200
this is something that happened there in

0:20:57.200,0:20:58.679
other words I interpret that to mean

0:20:58.679,0:21:00.000
were good things and bad things that

0:21:00.000,0:21:02.720
happened in that 200-year period of the

0:21:02.720,0:21:05.240
mcabe story now here's something else

0:21:05.240,0:21:08.640
now this is my interpretation of it that

0:21:08.640,0:21:11.080
had to happen the story of the mccabes

0:21:11.080,0:21:12.880
had to happen before you get to the

0:21:12.880,0:21:16.600
birth of Yeshua why the mabes were a

0:21:16.600,0:21:19.080
Messianic movement not not in the sense

0:21:19.080,0:21:21.520
that we mean Messianic Messianic in the

0:21:21.520,0:21:25.039
in the terms of ultra Orthodox militant

0:21:25.039,0:21:27.159
conquer kill the Romans kill the kill

0:21:27.159,0:21:30.400
the kill the Greeks up the temple have a

0:21:30.400,0:21:33.400
halic state you know and and that had to

0:21:33.400,0:21:35.679
happen because God is preparing the

0:21:35.679,0:21:37.159
people for the coming of the Messiah

0:21:37.159,0:21:40.559
Yeshua so intuitively to every person

0:21:40.559,0:21:42.799
there's an expectation of the Messiah

0:21:42.799,0:21:46.000
coming now because because we understand

0:21:46.000,0:21:48.159
that the Messiah had to come first as a

0:21:48.159,0:21:52.039
baby and to suffer the the the

0:21:52.039,0:21:53.799
expectations of the coming of the

0:21:53.799,0:21:56.600
Messiah was correct the expectation that

0:21:56.600,0:21:58.600
he would be a conqueror and set up the

0:21:58.600,0:21:59.880
Kingdom by driving out the Greeks and

0:21:59.880,0:22:02.279
Romans at that time was wrong but it had

0:22:02.279,0:22:03.880
to happen because the people wouldn't

0:22:03.880,0:22:07.080
have been ready for the king to come so

0:22:07.080,0:22:09.320
it built the faith of the expectation of

0:22:09.320,0:22:11.440
the Messiah am I going too fast you're

0:22:11.440,0:22:13.760
with it built the expectations of the

0:22:13.760,0:22:16.520
coming of the Messiah in a good way but

0:22:16.520,0:22:20.200
it also let to led to a conflict that

0:22:20.200,0:22:23.080
the people were were such a high level

0:22:23.080,0:22:25.039
of expecting a

0:22:25.039,0:22:27.880
militant uh Messiah at that time that

0:22:27.880,0:22:29.640
Yeshua coming on dying on the cross was

0:22:29.640,0:22:32.240
a scandal to them so they but so it had

0:22:32.240,0:22:35.919
to happen yet it was also doomed to half

0:22:35.919,0:22:37.840
of a failure half success and half

0:22:37.840,0:22:41.720
failure I was thinking about

0:22:42.000,0:22:44.919
that I think

0:22:44.919,0:22:49.080
that kind of a makabe generation has to

0:22:49.080,0:22:52.039
happen again in the generation before

0:22:52.039,0:22:54.559
Yeshua coming the second time because

0:22:54.559,0:22:56.600
the ex the the expectations of the

0:22:56.600,0:22:59.000
coming of the Messianic Kingdom have to

0:22:59.000,0:23:00.720
be built up both in Israel and around

0:23:00.720,0:23:02.440
the world again in other words this

0:23:02.440,0:23:06.559
holiday is having a meaning not just uh

0:23:06.559,0:23:10.039
of 2,200 years ago but now it's starting

0:23:10.039,0:23:12.320
to have meaning now in our country

0:23:12.320,0:23:14.360
because for and it's going to cause a

0:23:14.360,0:23:16.320
problem it's good and bad but it's

0:23:16.320,0:23:19.240
unavoidable there has to be a movement

0:23:19.240,0:23:21.760
of building up expectations in our

0:23:21.760,0:23:23.520
country and in the rest of the nations

0:23:23.520,0:23:24.880
of the world for Yeshua to be able to

0:23:24.880,0:23:29.320
come back he comes back to a Messianic

0:23:29.320,0:23:32.279
apocalyptic expectations now the funny

0:23:32.279,0:23:34.679
thing is this time he's not coming back

0:23:34.679,0:23:36.919
to disappoint he is coming back to

0:23:36.919,0:23:39.400
conquer he's not coming as a baby he's

0:23:39.400,0:23:41.159
coming back as a conquering King from

0:23:41.159,0:23:43.080
the heaven it's almost like what the

0:23:43.080,0:23:44.799
macbes were sort of wishing that would

0:23:44.799,0:23:46.720
happen the lion of the tribe of Judah is

0:23:46.720,0:23:48.000
going to come and that's what they

0:23:48.000,0:23:50.159
wanted to happen 2,000 years ago and it

0:23:50.159,0:23:52.080
didn't happen and they were freaked out

0:23:52.080,0:23:53.880
was this a baby you know is that a

0:23:53.880,0:23:56.679
crucified baby come on what this isn't

0:23:56.679,0:23:59.120
what we were expecting but now

0:23:59.120,0:24:00.559
he's going to come back and it will be a

0:24:00.559,0:24:03.039
conquering King now here there's of

0:24:03.039,0:24:06.159
course also for our people there's going

0:24:06.159,0:24:07.799
to be a

0:24:07.799,0:24:11.200
huge disappointment frustration surprise

0:24:11.200,0:24:13.240
because when he comes it's going to be

0:24:13.240,0:24:16.880
issue I mean what what what who was

0:24:16.880,0:24:18.760
expecting that to happen but the Bible

0:24:18.760,0:24:20.640
says when he come it says that the that

0:24:20.640,0:24:22.240
the tribe of Judah will be fighting for

0:24:22.240,0:24:24.960
Jerusalem fighting for God being heroic

0:24:24.960,0:24:26.720
amazing and then and then when he's

0:24:26.720,0:24:29.240
going to come and he's say what you're

0:24:29.240,0:24:30.880
the one we pierced and there's going to

0:24:30.880,0:24:33.640
be this incredible contrast and this

0:24:33.640,0:24:36.600
time fighting with Yeshua and then

0:24:36.600,0:24:38.960
surpris that it is Yeshua amazing story

0:24:38.960,0:24:42.120
so we're doing a kind of makabe 2.0 you

0:24:42.120,0:24:44.240
know it's coming in so there'll be

0:24:44.240,0:24:48.679
tremendous um positive buildup but then

0:24:48.679,0:24:51.600
also a total surprise when Yeshua comes

0:24:51.600,0:24:53.279
back now it's going to be a surprise

0:24:53.279,0:24:55.399
also for the Christian world who are

0:24:55.399,0:24:57.320
still stuck back there 2,000 years ago

0:24:57.320,0:24:59.039
with that little baby in the m you know

0:24:59.039,0:25:00.840
that's not going to happen it's not

0:25:00.840,0:25:01.840
going to happen he's not going to come

0:25:01.840,0:25:03.760
back that way so everybody's going to

0:25:03.760,0:25:05.159
surprised we're all going to be wrong

0:25:05.159,0:25:07.720
you know but but but God is moving us

0:25:07.720,0:25:10.880
toward this event for the Messianic

0:25:10.880,0:25:12.480
Kingdom to

0:25:12.480,0:25:15.200
come and now what's

0:25:15.200,0:25:18.679
happened over this past 14 months since

0:25:18.679,0:25:21.159
since October 7th last year you know we

0:25:21.159,0:25:23.080
went through that one week of horrible

0:25:23.080,0:25:25.480
really one day of horribly being

0:25:25.480,0:25:28.120
slaughtered by by Kamas but really after

0:25:28.120,0:25:31.600
that day our army has been unbelievable

0:25:31.600,0:25:33.120
I mean just victory after Victory after

0:25:33.120,0:25:35.279
Victory after Victory after Victory

0:25:35.279,0:25:38.399
after all this time we get to it 15

0:25:38.399,0:25:42.600
months later you know a week before

0:25:42.600,0:25:44.480
kanuka and a week before

0:25:44.480,0:25:46.120
Christmas

0:25:46.120,0:25:50.240
and everybody's gone Hamas is gone kbal

0:25:50.240,0:25:52.760
is gone Assad is gone Iran has been

0:25:52.760,0:25:54.840
destroyed the H well they get on the two

0:25:54.840,0:25:56.880
days they'll get wiped out but they I

0:25:56.880,0:26:01.240
mean it's oh like Hey we're standing on

0:26:01.240,0:26:03.520
our feet and the rest of the world is

0:26:03.520,0:26:06.080
capping Israel has become in this one

0:26:06.080,0:26:10.360
year the single superpower of the Middle

0:26:10.360,0:26:13.440
East this is shocking fact our people

0:26:13.440,0:26:15.279
haven't even gotten it yet we're like

0:26:15.279,0:26:16.600
wait a minute what's happening you know

0:26:16.600,0:26:18.440
what what's what's going on here we

0:26:18.440,0:26:20.679
don't we we don't we don't even know how

0:26:20.679,0:26:23.000
to deal with it yet we don't know how to

0:26:23.000,0:26:24.799
deal with the fact that we are the

0:26:24.799,0:26:26.520
superpower of the Middle

0:26:26.520,0:26:28.640
East you know I mean we're getting the

0:26:28.640,0:26:30.000
point that the United States wants to

0:26:30.000,0:26:31.000
attack somebody here they got to come

0:26:31.000,0:26:33.039
and ask us how to do it I'm not being

0:26:33.039,0:26:34.840
sarcastic about that but I'm saying is

0:26:34.840,0:26:37.320
that it's something Supernatural

0:26:37.320,0:26:39.240
biblical because God was saying in the

0:26:39.240,0:26:41.600
end times I'm going to make Israel so

0:26:41.600,0:26:43.320
strong that all the rest of the world is

0:26:43.320,0:26:45.480
going to look at him and say well this

0:26:45.480,0:26:48.120
must be God this must be God it's going

0:26:48.120,0:26:50.200
on and God is doing that now another

0:26:50.200,0:26:53.120
thing that happened during this is

0:26:53.120,0:26:55.279
that the

0:26:55.279,0:26:59.960
ideology of a of classic secular Zionist

0:26:59.960,0:27:02.559
loving you know kutnik people their

0:27:02.559,0:27:05.159
motivation has been going down and

0:27:05.159,0:27:06.640
what's been happening is little by

0:27:06.640,0:27:10.159
little the the

0:27:10.159,0:27:13.120
Umi the nationalistic religious are

0:27:13.120,0:27:15.240
becoming more into the front line of the

0:27:15.240,0:27:17.640
army along with another group of people

0:27:17.640,0:27:21.000
who are the messianics the messianics

0:27:21.000,0:27:23.760
and the because we have an ideology to

0:27:23.760,0:27:25.760
to have faith to be able to to keep

0:27:25.760,0:27:27.760
fighting and to and and to win this

0:27:27.760,0:27:29.640
thing and this is and what's happening

0:27:29.640,0:27:32.799
now is this group has risen up now the

0:27:32.799,0:27:35.480
blessing on the messianics has been that

0:27:35.480,0:27:37.080
not only they fighting in the front line

0:27:37.080,0:27:39.679
almost nobody's gotten killed we've had

0:27:39.679,0:27:41.640
one or two instances and one or two in

0:27:41.640,0:27:44.159
of people but the the numbers the the

0:27:44.159,0:27:46.679
It's Supernatural God's protection on

0:27:46.679,0:27:49.880
our children has been amazing totally

0:27:49.880,0:27:51.960
Supernatural and among the ultra and

0:27:51.960,0:27:53.559
among the the

0:27:53.559,0:27:55.600
nationalistic uh

0:27:55.600,0:27:57.559
religious the number of people that have

0:27:57.559,0:28:00.039
been killed and injured is

0:28:00.039,0:28:03.000
proportionally percentage wise you know

0:28:03.000,0:28:04.919
I don't know five six seven times the

0:28:04.919,0:28:06.240
rest of the population because they're

0:28:06.240,0:28:08.000
the one fighting there the only one

0:28:08.000,0:28:10.480
fighting now at really the highest level

0:28:10.480,0:28:13.240
of motivation because it's too difficult

0:28:13.240,0:28:14.720
now you need some kind of spiritual

0:28:14.720,0:28:17.440
Faith to stand against all the evil and

0:28:17.440,0:28:19.519
so it and this is coming forward so the

0:28:19.519,0:28:21.440
messianics are in that and but people

0:28:21.440,0:28:23.039
don't know about us but then the the

0:28:23.039,0:28:25.200
National Religious it's kind of like the

0:28:25.200,0:28:27.919
makabe story is arising and so the

0:28:27.919,0:28:29.679
people people that believe in this type

0:28:29.679,0:28:33.159
of makabe story are saying yeah it's

0:28:33.159,0:28:35.360
happening we're and we are we are the

0:28:35.360,0:28:38.279
new mcabe the whole the whole of course

0:28:38.279,0:28:40.600
I'm oversimplifying but but it's much

0:28:40.600,0:28:42.279
more complex than that but basically

0:28:42.279,0:28:44.760
speaking the Nationalist the Dau me the

0:28:44.760,0:28:46.760
National Religious see themselves as the

0:28:46.760,0:28:48.960
they are the new mabes we're coming

0:28:48.960,0:28:51.279
forward and the people that used to see

0:28:51.279,0:28:54.080
them the mabes themselves as the mabes

0:28:54.080,0:28:57.440
up until 2 3 years ago which was the the

0:28:57.440,0:29:01.039
basically the secular leftwing Army who

0:29:01.039,0:29:03.559
have incredible bravery they're they're

0:29:03.559,0:29:06.039
feeling disenfranchised from that I me

0:29:06.039,0:29:07.240
even at the point of saying we're

0:29:07.240,0:29:08.360
wondering maybe we shouldn't even

0:29:08.360,0:29:10.399
celebrate Kano this is they're seeing

0:29:10.399,0:29:12.399
the political implications of it it's

0:29:12.399,0:29:15.799
incredible so here we have this now just

0:29:15.799,0:29:17.840
want to make uh we'll get to a moment

0:29:17.840,0:29:19.399
when we say walking through the darkness

0:29:19.399,0:29:22.679
let's look at that and all right now

0:29:22.679,0:29:25.919
this uh child is born to us God brings

0:29:25.919,0:29:29.240
his light into the world and this child

0:29:29.240,0:29:31.360
is the center of

0:29:31.360,0:29:34.480
everything he is the he's from even he's

0:29:34.480,0:29:37.760
he was the center of God speaking and

0:29:37.760,0:29:40.080
saying let there be light now if you

0:29:40.080,0:29:42.679
follow this story particularly in the

0:29:42.679,0:29:45.080
book of Isaiah it's so beautiful well

0:29:45.080,0:29:46.200
we're not going to study the whole thing

0:29:46.200,0:29:47.440
but let me just give you kind of a

0:29:47.440,0:29:50.320
snapshot of it so this

0:29:50.320,0:29:54.080
baby carries the light and he is the one

0:29:54.080,0:29:55.519
who will be the Messianic King with the

0:29:55.519,0:29:56.799
government on

0:29:56.799,0:30:00.880
him all right right what kind of

0:30:00.880,0:30:04.399
government well it says in Isaiah 2 it

0:30:04.399,0:30:06.159
says that all the nations there will be

0:30:06.159,0:30:08.399
peace and prosperity in all the nations

0:30:08.399,0:30:10.600
Jerusalem will be the capital city all

0:30:10.600,0:30:12.720
the nations will have ambassadors coming

0:30:12.720,0:30:14.440
up to Jerusalem and will come up to

0:30:14.440,0:30:16.760
worship and there'll be one one

0:30:16.760,0:30:20.159
beautiful K Kingdom of world peace on

0:30:20.159,0:30:21.399
the whole world and there will be the

0:30:21.399,0:30:23.440
king over that in

0:30:23.440,0:30:26.399
Jerusalem that's this child the king

0:30:26.399,0:30:29.120
that's in Isaiah 2 ruling the world is

0:30:29.120,0:30:31.760
also the child that was born here

0:30:31.760,0:30:33.919
in Isaiah

0:30:33.919,0:30:38.200
9 now it's pretty a supernatural Kingdom

0:30:38.200,0:30:39.399
how's there going to be peace over the

0:30:39.399,0:30:42.480
whole earth well the Bible shows us

0:30:42.480,0:30:45.799
there in chapter six that this King when

0:30:45.799,0:30:47.399
he grows up is going to be filled with

0:30:47.399,0:30:49.200
light he's going to be super proun he's

0:30:49.200,0:30:51.120
been resurrected from the dead he's

0:30:51.120,0:30:53.480
going to be shining with light how is

0:30:53.480,0:30:54.480
there going to be a king that's going to

0:30:54.480,0:30:56.320
rule over the whole world if he isn't

0:30:56.320,0:30:58.519
filled with the power and glory of God

0:30:58.519,0:31:00.360
so Isaiah 2 says there will be a kingdom

0:31:00.360,0:31:01.720
of peace all over the world with the

0:31:01.720,0:31:04.200
king in Jerusalem Isaiah 6 says he's

0:31:04.200,0:31:06.240
going to be resurrected from the dead

0:31:06.240,0:31:09.279
and glorified and and and Isaiah 9 here

0:31:09.279,0:31:12.120
says that he would be born as a

0:31:12.120,0:31:15.200
child into the world well none of this

0:31:15.200,0:31:18.919
is a child of course but two chapters

0:31:18.919,0:31:20.519
before that Isaiah 7 says he's going to

0:31:20.519,0:31:22.159
be born of a

0:31:22.159,0:31:24.360
virgin now our people want to say that

0:31:24.360,0:31:26.639
it's not true listen all the Orthodox

0:31:26.639,0:31:30.840
Jews you ever notice no that all of our

0:31:30.840,0:31:32.559
what what's it what's the word for

0:31:32.559,0:31:35.960
matriarchs all of our matriarch Sarah

0:31:35.960,0:31:39.440
Rifka Rachel were all

0:31:39.440,0:31:43.200
Baron as well as who else was Baron Kan

0:31:43.200,0:31:47.120
the mother of of of S Shimon and then

0:31:47.120,0:31:49.679
you have uh Elizabeth the mother of the

0:31:49.679,0:31:53.159
mother of John all six people well now I

0:31:53.159,0:31:54.799
didn't say this the rabbis say this now

0:31:54.799,0:31:56.919
they actually exaggerate this they said

0:31:56.919,0:31:59.080
well why are why were why were all the

0:31:59.080,0:32:03.080
mothers a a kot why were they Barren and

0:32:03.080,0:32:05.559
why did that the way because God wanted

0:32:05.559,0:32:07.919
their the birth to be Supernatural they

0:32:07.919,0:32:10.720
say that not me they say all the

0:32:10.720,0:32:13.279
forefathers were born supernaturally it

0:32:13.279,0:32:15.480
was a miracle that they that the

0:32:15.480,0:32:17.480
children were born there in fact they

0:32:17.480,0:32:20.519
even say that really it was born that

0:32:20.519,0:32:22.600
way because the children Abraham Isaac

0:32:22.600,0:32:24.440
and Jacob and Joseph and Judah were

0:32:24.440,0:32:28.039
really born without the effects of the

0:32:28.039,0:32:30.080
fall of Adam and Eve because it was a

0:32:30.080,0:32:33.159
supernatural event now I don't think

0:32:33.159,0:32:34.880
that's true because you'd have to be a

0:32:34.880,0:32:37.279
total virgin to not have that effect but

0:32:37.279,0:32:39.320
that's the exact s that's the correct

0:32:39.320,0:32:41.320
thinking why were all these people in

0:32:41.320,0:32:43.039
because God has and I would I would

0:32:43.039,0:32:44.600
correct it to say this it's not that

0:32:44.600,0:32:47.000
they overcame the power original sin but

0:32:47.000,0:32:49.000
they were born out of a promise they

0:32:49.000,0:32:51.639
were born miraculously of a promise and

0:32:51.639,0:32:54.760
that Covenant promise then led the way

0:32:54.760,0:32:58.559
for the full virgin Miriam to be born

0:32:58.559,0:33:00.760
and and this is a hope and we've talked

0:33:00.760,0:33:04.000
about this of seeing uh Miriam we talked

0:33:04.000,0:33:07.399
about that last week of Miriam as being

0:33:07.399,0:33:11.320
the ultimate Ultra Orthodox

0:33:11.320,0:33:14.639
girl I mean because what you know why

0:33:14.639,0:33:16.120
are all these Orthodox girls having so

0:33:16.120,0:33:18.679
many kids because they're

0:33:18.679,0:33:23.120
thinking maybe my child maybe my child

0:33:23.120,0:33:25.799
maybe my child will be the Messiah so if

0:33:25.799,0:33:28.519
I can have 200 kids then I have greater

0:33:28.519,0:33:31.320
odds of it being the Messiah I'm but but

0:33:31.320,0:33:33.480
the point is they are they are looking

0:33:33.480,0:33:35.919
to keep themselves pure and holy and

0:33:35.919,0:33:37.480
bear children because they're believing

0:33:37.480,0:33:39.080
that the Messiah will come out of this

0:33:39.080,0:33:41.559
generation and and Miriam was the

0:33:41.559,0:33:44.480
ultimate Orthodox Jewish girl holding

0:33:44.480,0:33:46.840
herself pure believing for the Messiah

0:33:46.840,0:33:49.159
to come now of course it was way above

0:33:49.159,0:33:51.679
what she was expecting but still look at

0:33:51.679,0:33:54.039
this is I mean Christmas the birth of

0:33:54.039,0:33:56.039
the Messiah should be the most Jewish

0:33:56.039,0:33:58.320
holiday in the world I mean is if you

0:33:58.320,0:34:00.600
talk about Jewish Jewish Jewish the

0:34:00.600,0:34:02.559
Jewish King the son of David was born

0:34:02.559,0:34:04.399
into this world by an Orthodox Jewish

0:34:04.399,0:34:07.039
girl who M maintained herself pure to

0:34:07.039,0:34:09.399
give birth to Messiah so that God could

0:34:09.399,0:34:11.520
bring a savior to all the rest of the

0:34:11.520,0:34:14.200
Nations I mean this is come on this to

0:34:14.200,0:34:16.679
is almost

0:34:18.760,0:34:22.280
racist anyway so then it goes on of

0:34:22.280,0:34:25.040
course and then he says uh that when

0:34:25.040,0:34:27.560
this kingdom is about to come that all

0:34:27.560,0:34:29.240
the the Nations will attack it to stop

0:34:29.240,0:34:31.480
the kingdom but they will miss it that's

0:34:31.480,0:34:33.440
the story of Isaiah 29 and what's called

0:34:33.440,0:34:35.079
the Ariel they will come and attack and

0:34:35.079,0:34:36.399
it'll be like a dream and they will miss

0:34:36.399,0:34:38.359
it and not only that when they come to

0:34:38.359,0:34:40.440
attack the Messiah will come as the

0:34:40.440,0:34:41.879
angel of the Lord and kill all the

0:34:41.879,0:34:44.280
armies that come that's Isaiah 37 and

0:34:44.280,0:34:45.760
then he will come to set up his kingdom

0:34:45.760,0:34:49.200
on it's all there in Isaiah amazing

0:34:49.200,0:34:51.839
except for one thing which our people

0:34:51.839,0:34:55.480
want to skip over to bring this Kingdom

0:34:55.480,0:34:57.079
he's not only got to be pure himself

0:34:57.079,0:34:58.359
he's got to make the M the rest of the

0:34:58.359,0:35:01.000
people in the world pure and we're not

0:35:01.000,0:35:04.200
pure we're sinful and we deserve death

0:35:04.200,0:35:06.440
and judgment and so the only way this

0:35:06.440,0:35:08.680
person this child who has the light of

0:35:08.680,0:35:10.680
God can be the king to rule over the

0:35:10.680,0:35:12.920
world is do something to get us out of

0:35:12.920,0:35:14.839
sin and death how is he going to have an

0:35:14.839,0:35:16.440
eternal Kingdom when we're all dying

0:35:16.440,0:35:18.240
hello how's he going to have a pure

0:35:18.240,0:35:20.280
Kingdom when we're all in sin he's got

0:35:20.280,0:35:22.240
to figure out a way to make us pure and

0:35:22.240,0:35:24.480
there's only one way to do that is to

0:35:24.480,0:35:28.079
take our sin upon himself Isaiah 53 so

0:35:28.079,0:35:30.920
that then he could purify us to do that

0:35:30.920,0:35:33.119
and that way he does he does several

0:35:33.119,0:35:35.839
things he he takes our sin upon us to

0:35:35.839,0:35:38.520
set us free he demonstrates to us what

0:35:38.520,0:35:41.079
is the light of God which is sacrificial

0:35:41.079,0:35:43.119
love to love other people and he proves

0:35:43.119,0:35:45.640
that he is the one worthy to be the

0:35:45.640,0:35:48.280
king Yeshua was crucified and said this

0:35:48.280,0:35:50.800
is the king of the Jews and said well I

0:35:50.800,0:35:53.560
don't know but then he rose from the

0:35:53.560,0:35:56.680
dead proof maybe you didn't believe that

0:35:56.680,0:35:58.960
sign over his head when he was crucified

0:35:58.960,0:36:00.400
that this is the king of the Jews but

0:36:00.400,0:36:02.440
when he rose from the dead it's kind of

0:36:02.440,0:36:05.280
hard to say I don't know what else you

0:36:05.280,0:36:09.079
got to do you know look it the the the

0:36:09.079,0:36:11.000
the C the crucifixion was the

0:36:11.000,0:36:13.920
Declaration of Yeshua being the king and

0:36:13.920,0:36:15.920
him changing getting us out of sin so we

0:36:15.920,0:36:17.280
could be in his kingdom and the

0:36:17.280,0:36:18.720
resurrection was the proof that this is

0:36:18.720,0:36:22.920
the guy hey maybe it's somebody else

0:36:22.920,0:36:24.800
except to be somebody else you got to

0:36:24.800,0:36:26.200
die and be raised from the dead to see

0:36:26.200,0:36:28.200
that happen I haven't seen that happen

0:36:28.200,0:36:31.680
yet with anybody

0:36:31.680,0:36:34.720
else all right so that's the story in

0:36:34.720,0:36:36.599
Isaiah let's look at the last point in

0:36:36.599,0:36:38.839
Isaiah uh and that

0:36:38.839,0:36:41.800
is uh which has been our theme verse for

0:36:41.800,0:36:45.480
this year really is Isaiah 60 veres 1

0:36:45.480,0:36:48.960
through3 we'll end with

0:36:52.560,0:36:54.839
this watch the word watch the play on

0:36:54.839,0:36:56.240
Darkness and Light again here it's

0:36:56.240,0:36:59.319
amazing from is one created light

0:36:59.319,0:37:03.319
Darkness the light overcomes the

0:37:03.920,0:37:06.640
darkness arise and shine it really says

0:37:06.640,0:37:08.480
shine with light

0:37:08.480,0:37:11.359
there your light has

0:37:11.359,0:37:13.400
come and for the glory of the Lord has

0:37:13.400,0:37:15.160
sh shown upon

0:37:15.160,0:37:17.599
you behold the

0:37:17.599,0:37:20.599
darkness has covered the

0:37:20.599,0:37:24.680
Earth and and fog the

0:37:26.000,0:37:29.040
Nations but upon you the glory of the

0:37:29.040,0:37:31.920
Lord will shine and uh the light will

0:37:31.920,0:37:34.319
shine and His glory will be seen upon

0:37:34.319,0:37:38.599
you there and you skip over a little

0:37:41.240,0:37:44.200
bit and it says and Kings will come to

0:37:44.200,0:37:47.200
your light uh Nations will come to your

0:37:47.200,0:37:51.040
KN light and Kings to your shining Glory

0:37:51.040,0:37:54.000
now here we see that that all these

0:37:54.000,0:37:56.040
themes come come together the light in

0:37:56.040,0:37:58.800
the Darkness Darkness covering the whole

0:37:58.800,0:38:01.520
Earth but then there will be a people

0:38:01.520,0:38:03.359
who have the light of God in them

0:38:03.359,0:38:06.280
against Great odds numerically then the

0:38:06.280,0:38:07.839
darkness is bigger but the light is

0:38:07.839,0:38:10.319
stronger so we have to rise and shine

0:38:10.319,0:38:11.800
with light we become the manora we

0:38:11.800,0:38:14.200
become the kukia we become the extension

0:38:14.200,0:38:15.640
of the Child of Light it's both

0:38:15.640,0:38:17.720
Christmas and kanuka coming together

0:38:17.720,0:38:20.960
into the end times apocalyptic version

0:38:20.960,0:38:23.960
of the merging of Christmas and kanuka

0:38:23.960,0:38:26.520
coming to this is a rise and shine he's

0:38:26.520,0:38:29.560
saying here is that in the end times the

0:38:29.560,0:38:32.119
the the great majority will be huge

0:38:32.119,0:38:36.040
darkness and fog but in that midst will

0:38:36.040,0:38:38.200
be a people in every nation that need to

0:38:38.200,0:38:40.960
arise and shine they will be the living

0:38:40.960,0:38:43.319
manora and their light will then come

0:38:43.319,0:38:47.160
and push back the darkness As we sing in

0:38:47.160,0:38:49.119
uh

0:38:49.119,0:38:52.160
in we have come to as the light to drive

0:38:52.160,0:38:56.079
out the darkness just I mean I so wish

0:38:56.079,0:38:57.319
the Christians could see this part of

0:38:57.319,0:38:58.560
the driving out the darkness and the

0:38:58.560,0:39:00.280
Jews could see the part of it theu is

0:39:00.280,0:39:02.480
where the light comes fromo they're I'll

0:39:02.480,0:39:04.560
get it pretty soon Hallelujah and then

0:39:04.560,0:39:07.200
we'll have that Victory um so we're

0:39:07.200,0:39:10.400
walking in this I see the darkness as

0:39:10.400,0:39:13.040
being evil and the and the cloud as

0:39:13.040,0:39:15.400
being confusion I interpret that you

0:39:15.400,0:39:17.480
know if there but the the the darkness I

0:39:17.480,0:39:20.960
think is the the the violent spirit in

0:39:20.960,0:39:23.680
in Islam and communist dictatorships and

0:39:23.680,0:39:28.400
the confusion is the the modern academic

0:39:28.400,0:39:32.200
news fake you know lies that's causing

0:39:32.200,0:39:34.280
confusion so you got darkness which is

0:39:34.280,0:39:36.480
evil and violence you got fog which is

0:39:36.480,0:39:39.000
confusion but our light has to shine

0:39:39.000,0:39:42.640
within us to push back both the evil and

0:39:42.640,0:39:45.640
the confusion so this world can shine

0:39:45.640,0:39:47.359
and we and that's what we want to

0:39:47.359,0:39:49.440
believe for this year couple comments

0:39:49.440,0:39:52.119
and we'll close one is that for each of

0:39:52.119,0:39:54.359
us individually it's great to read this

0:39:54.359,0:39:56.640
in the Bible but we have to all walk

0:39:56.640,0:39:59.000
this out in our individual lives as a

0:39:59.000,0:40:01.000
nation as all the eclesia but each one

0:40:01.000,0:40:02.960
of us individually you got to walk this

0:40:02.960,0:40:06.560
out oh what a beautiful

0:40:07.640,0:40:10.680
verse oh it sounds so nice no you're

0:40:10.680,0:40:13.520
talking about living in a world of evil

0:40:13.520,0:40:16.520
and darkness and you got to stand up by

0:40:16.520,0:40:18.520
faith and let your light shine in the

0:40:18.520,0:40:20.880
dark I mean this is terrifyingly

0:40:20.880,0:40:23.839
demanding Faith to stand up and do that

0:40:23.839,0:40:25.800
but we but we have to do that and what

0:40:25.800,0:40:29.880
you know it's like psalm 23 it

0:40:30.040,0:40:32.040
says even if I have to walk through the

0:40:32.040,0:40:34.560
valley of the shadow of death will fear

0:40:34.560,0:40:36.960
no evil and what I say to a lot of

0:40:36.960,0:40:39.160
people listen it doesn't say when you

0:40:39.160,0:40:41.359
get stuck in the Valley of the shadow of

0:40:41.359,0:40:44.079
death it says when you walk through it

0:40:44.079,0:40:46.319
and I've learned this year no matter

0:40:46.319,0:40:48.560
what happens just put the next foot in

0:40:48.560,0:40:50.000
front of your foot and then put the next

0:40:50.000,0:40:53.560
foot just keep going when you feel

0:40:53.560,0:40:56.280
Darkness all over you and depression and

0:40:56.280,0:40:58.359
fear and

0:40:58.359,0:41:01.200
oosh with a Despair and it just like and

0:41:01.200,0:41:03.160
you can't go on just take one more step

0:41:03.160,0:41:06.280
just keep going just don't stop in if

0:41:06.280,0:41:08.800
you stop in the middle of the valley of

0:41:08.800,0:41:10.920
death and sit down you're going to

0:41:10.920,0:41:13.000
you're going to succumb to Darkness just

0:41:13.000,0:41:15.599
keep going keep going and all of a

0:41:15.599,0:41:19.280
sudden you'll end up in Green Pastures

0:41:19.280,0:41:21.680
and pure Waters and it'll happen faster

0:41:21.680,0:41:23.160
than you think but this just the way God

0:41:23.160,0:41:25.480
does it the the the pathways of

0:41:25.480,0:41:27.599
righteousness always go through the Val

0:41:27.599,0:41:29.520
the shadow of death but just keep

0:41:29.520,0:41:30.800
walking so I'm telling you folks

0:41:30.800,0:41:32.640
whatever you're going through right now

0:41:32.640,0:41:34.920
just take another step and then another

0:41:34.920,0:41:37.079
step after that and don't worry about

0:41:37.079,0:41:39.079
that just take another step God will

0:41:39.079,0:41:40.880
take care of you and he'll let the light

0:41:40.880,0:41:44.240
shine so we come out of this two more

0:41:44.240,0:41:47.079
quick comments one is that we work we

0:41:47.079,0:41:48.240

0:41:48.240,0:41:50.200
shadow of death we're coming out at the

0:41:50.200,0:41:51.960
end of this year that just seem to be

0:41:51.960,0:41:54.520
disaster disaster and disaster we come

0:41:54.520,0:41:56.359

0:41:56.359,0:41:59.079
superpower in the Middle East what

0:41:59.079,0:42:02.560
happened this was God this was God

0:42:02.560,0:42:04.520
giving a miraculous sign to all of the

0:42:04.520,0:42:06.359
Nations the world now the Nations ruling

0:42:06.359,0:42:07.680

0:42:17.520,0:42:20.520
second thing is is for all the problems

0:42:20.520,0:42:21.720
in the world

0:42:21.720,0:42:25.280
folks United States is still the

0:42:25.280,0:42:28.880
strongest nation in the world today

0:42:28.880,0:42:32.720
and in another two weeks the majority of

0:42:32.720,0:42:34.200
the cabinet

0:42:34.200,0:42:36.559
members in the United States are going

0:42:36.559,0:42:38.960

0:42:44.200,0:42:46.440
something has happened and we have to

0:42:46.440,0:42:48.559
pray the other thing we have to pray for

0:42:48.559,0:42:51.160
is there are people that are being

0:42:51.160,0:42:54.240
persecuted around the world first of all

0:42:54.240,0:42:57.599
any Christian within the greater Muslim

0:42:57.599,0:43:01.880
world is really under

0:43:01.880,0:43:03.960
attack and they don't have the Israeli

0:43:03.960,0:43:05.760
Army to help them you know so we really

0:43:05.760,0:43:07.880
need to pray for them the Christians in

0:43:07.880,0:43:10.160
in Iran and in Lebanon and in Egypt and

0:43:10.160,0:43:13.280
in me Iraq and Syria and everywhere and

0:43:13.280,0:43:16.160
Jordan we need to pray for them you know

0:43:16.160,0:43:17.800
and there's also places in those other

0:43:17.800,0:43:20.160
Beast Nations we've got Russia attacking

0:43:20.160,0:43:22.040
Ukraine we have to pray for Ukraine we

0:43:22.040,0:43:23.520
have to have Hong Kong China is

0:43:23.520,0:43:24.720
attacking Hong Kong you got to pray for

0:43:24.720,0:43:26.440
Hong Kong you have North Korea attacking

0:43:26.440,0:43:28.599
South Korea to track C for South Korea

0:43:28.599,0:43:30.400
there are nations that are standing on

0:43:30.400,0:43:33.319
the front lines of the Beast powers and

0:43:33.319,0:43:35.480
then like I said for for Europe we

0:43:35.480,0:43:36.760
prayed early and we'll end with it we

0:43:36.760,0:43:38.720
just is having this think about this

0:43:38.720,0:43:40.800
terrorist attack it was on this

0:43:40.800,0:43:41.880
Christmas

0:43:41.880,0:43:44.160
Market packed full of people I don't

0:43:44.160,0:43:46.119
know if you saw the pictures of in in

0:43:46.119,0:43:48.720
Eastern Eastern Germany I talked to some

0:43:48.720,0:43:50.640
friends there they said look it wasn't

0:43:50.640,0:43:52.480
like there was a gospel story going on

0:43:52.480,0:43:54.720
in this market you know it was it was

0:43:54.720,0:43:57.359
European Christian culture you know cook

0:43:57.359,0:44:00.040
and songs and and you know selling stuff

0:44:00.040,0:44:01.680
and it was a commercial event but it was

0:44:01.680,0:44:03.440
still Christian it was still Christian

0:44:03.440,0:44:06.240
culture it was not a coincidence that's

0:44:06.240,0:44:08.400
that where that attack went the attack

0:44:08.400,0:44:10.520
was against Christian symbolism because

0:44:10.520,0:44:12.520
they're saying we are going to destroy

0:44:12.520,0:44:15.520
Europe in Europe we have to pray fast

0:44:15.520,0:44:19.200
and hard because Europe is one step away

0:44:19.200,0:44:22.640
from bending its knee to to Islamic

0:44:22.640,0:44:24.960
jihadism and and and they have to wake

0:44:24.960,0:44:27.720
up to it but I want to believe that that

0:44:27.720,0:44:30.599
this attack is is it's going to cause

0:44:30.599,0:44:32.920
people to wake up you know sometimes bad

0:44:32.920,0:44:35.440
events are wakeup calls okay it talked

0:44:35.440,0:44:36.520
for a long time but there was a lot of

0:44:36.520,0:44:38.440
material to get out father we just thank

0:44:38.440,0:44:42.119
