1 00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:02,120 so this year we 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,960 have Christmas and kanuka the same time 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,440 so how are we not going to talk about a 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,760 little bit we'll talk about a little bit 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,320 the light of God coming into the world 6 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,679 which is the common theme of both of 7 00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:16,840 them maybe give a little bit of 8 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,240 background both to uh Christmas and 9 00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:22,680 kanuka so let's start how not in 10 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,279 um Genesis chapter 11 00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:29,560 1 vers 1-4 12 00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:34,160 says in the beginning God created the 13 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:37,440 heavens and the Earth and the Earth was 14 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,480 formless and void and darkness was over 15 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,559 the face of the deep notice 16 00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:45,960 immediately in the first couple of 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,039 verses of the Bible of Genesis that 18 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:51,800 there's a a conflict between Darkness 19 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,480 and Light it's amazing skip out to the 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,039 next verse coming 21 00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:05,400 and God said let there be light and 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,600 there was light and God saw that the 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,320 light was good and God separated between 24 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:13,680 the light and the Darkness so we've got 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,360 four times it says light and three times 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520 it says Darkness says the light is good 27 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880 and the Darkness is bad so you see right 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,479 at the beginning at the very beginning 29 00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:25,000 of the Bible there's a conflict between 30 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,159 and or contrast contrast I would say 31 00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:30,400 physically between light light and 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,759 darkness and a conflict between good and 33 00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:36,280 bad the the spiritual part of light is 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880 in a conflict with the spiritual part of 35 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,560 darkness in the natural physical world 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 there's just a uh a contrast between the 37 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:50,600 two um it's amazing to think that um 38 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,320 that this is how that God created the 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,799 world by using the power of 40 00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,759 light um I we don't know what people 41 00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:01,079 thought for most of the past 42 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,479 6,000 years until Einstein came and he 43 00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:06,399 and he said that that energy is equal to 44 00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:09,119 mass times the speed of light I mean it 45 00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:12,800 it's it's that what we think is physical 46 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,480 is actually you can convert between mass 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560 and light I mean it's who would have 48 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,319 thought of that you think energy being 49 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,080 the power of the Holy Spirit the dunamis 50 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,440 of the Holy Spirit Light being light and 51 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,760 mass is being everything that was 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760 created I mean Einstein said that all 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,959 goes together I don't know what people 54 00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:31,959 thought I mean until this time you read 55 00:02:31,959 --> 00:02:34,360 those vers said well I believe but now 56 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,200 it's it's physically totally obvious now 57 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,640 it what it means is also that what we 58 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,440 what looks to be physical is not as 59 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,360 physical as you think it is because mass 60 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,640 is really just converted energy if if as 61 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,519 I understand the physics and I don't 62 00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:53,720 understand it that all the physical 63 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800 world is actually very tiny tiny 64 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,440 particles that are moving very very 65 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,920 quickly and so it gives sort of an 66 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,760 illusion that it's Mass but it's not 67 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,319 really it's tiny little articles 68 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:06,799 particles that are moving so quickly 69 00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:09,440 that it it uh but really there's so much 70 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,360 space between them it's kind of like if 71 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,480 you look at the solar system if you 72 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,040 would look at the solar system far away 73 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,319 it would look like one Mass but when you 74 00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:20,080 get up close there's there's light years 75 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,080 of distance between the planets and 76 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,640 everything as I understand if you were 77 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:25,519 to take all the matter in the world and 78 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:27,640 collapse it down so that there would be 79 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,439 no space between it at all just matter 80 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:32,159 matter matter you could put all the 81 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:33,760 matter in the universe basically in your 82 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,680 hands now it would weigh you know trilli 83 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,959 beyond what we could imagine that it 84 00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:40,799 could but really the mass you mean the 85 00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:43,480 Bible says that God held the mass of the 86 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,000 universe in his hand before he created 87 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,120 it now think of this and then he and 88 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,519 then it he multiplied it by light so 89 00:03:50,519 --> 00:03:52,599 what we think of is just mass is not 90 00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,519 really mass is convertible into light 91 00:03:54,519 --> 00:03:57,840 and back and forth incredible I was 92 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,799 thinking that the example of of a 93 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:02,879 hologram not not what we have as a 94 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,599 hologram but if you had a super hologram 95 00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:06,840 that was actually really 96 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,720 three-dimensional where you could see a 97 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,159 figure that was made of light particles 98 00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:13,439 and you you could make a picture out of 99 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,479 light almost like a you know 3D printing 100 00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:18,759 but if you could see that you could 101 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,280 actually see a figure there would there 102 00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:21,919 would be a figure made out of light it 103 00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:23,919 would be real you could actually walk 104 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:25,440 right through 105 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,160 it it doesn't mean it wouldn't be there 106 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,400 but that's what the world is the world 107 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,520 is kind of God's light hologram amazing 108 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,600 and if you understood it like Yeshua you 109 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,080 could walk right through the wall just 110 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240 like you could walk through a hologram 111 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,639 we don't understand it you know by the 112 00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:44,960 way I know this don't get offended all 113 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,600 of us we all talk about supernatural 114 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,199 that world's not in the Bible not one 115 00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,479 time that I'm aware of what I think that 116 00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:53,880 we what our understanding of the world 117 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120 is subnatural what you think of as 118 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,080 Miracles is just being natural it's not 119 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,240 Supernatural That's just being natural 120 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,560 the the to think the natural world is is 121 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,120 something not under our control is 122 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,720 subnatural know what I'm saying so if we 123 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,560 were to understand how things work so 124 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960 the whole world is like that so it's 125 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,000 kind of a a hologram now if you were to 126 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080 make a hologram light particles forming 127 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,880 a being that you could walk through and 128 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,720 walk out now if you would look at that 129 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,039 say I'm looking at a hologram here and 130 00:05:24,039 --> 00:05:26,720 uh then I'd have to ask the question 131 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400 where did that hologram come from if 132 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,919 there's hologram here there must be 133 00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:33,039 somebody sitting somewhere else this 134 00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:35,000 hologram didn't get here by itself 135 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,880 there's somebody somewhere else that 136 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,840 designed the Hologram and is shooting 137 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,960 the picture of this hologram into here 138 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800 so when we look at the universe it's 139 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,240 it's a hologram according to Genesis 1 140 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,319 and Einstein physics and you look at 141 00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:48,800 this well it didn't couldn't get there 142 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,240 by itself who where's the guy or where's 143 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080 the thing that made that got that put 144 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,759 this hologram into place and if you 145 00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:57,520 realize that's what matter is it can 146 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,199 matter can convert back and forth into 147 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,080 energy and the energy is light come on 148 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,440 that's in the Bible it's the first verse 149 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,919 of the Bible so it says the light comes 150 00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:08,919 in and out and um and when you realize 151 00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:11,160 it all matters that way so maybe you 152 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,199 could walk through a hologram now let's 153 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,360 think of the air around us I mean 154 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,720 there's this is not Hollow front of us 155 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,479 there's air right there's particles in 156 00:06:19,479 --> 00:06:21,800 the air around us but you can walk 157 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,000 through it because it doesn't mean 158 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,560 there's not particles there there's 159 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,360 particles there it's created and it's 160 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,479 got light in it there's light and what 161 00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:29,880 else is in the air around us one of the 162 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,199 things is is water there water now you 163 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,160 could have in the air right now if it's 164 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,199 a dry day 10% humidity you go wet day 165 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:40,400 you got 90% humidity you can have more 166 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,880 or less water in the air but you can 167 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,520 still walk through it you know what I'm 168 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,280 saying now if it gets more than that you 169 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,599 could actually have a cloud and if you 170 00:06:48,599 --> 00:06:50,840 got more than that you have water and 171 00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,479 then the water could come come down I 172 00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:54,440 mean it's it's but it's all just 173 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,919 different forms of light and energy and 174 00:06:56,919 --> 00:06:59,720 so just as if you understood it I mean 175 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800 how can you even walk on Solid Ground I 176 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,319 mean if you could see what was there you 177 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,360 would be terrified I don't know how we 178 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,879 all sit on a plane you know I was 179 00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:09,000 thinking the last time I flew on a plane 180 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,800 I was sitting there and it was kind of 181 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,960 windy outside we're up in the there the 182 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,879 plane is kind of shaking I'm thinking 183 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,160 between me and being 30,000 you know 184 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,960 feet above the ground is this thin tin 185 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,240 can that I could probably punch through 186 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,280 it if I hit it or not I said why am I 187 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360 trusting that I could sit here because 188 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680 cuz really but if if IID understand 189 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,840 Yeshua could have just walked right 190 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,560 through the plane and just kept walking 191 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,080 you could understand the physics of 192 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,560 what's going on so if you walk on hard 193 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,960 land it's just it's just particles 194 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080 spinning around and you walk on water 195 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,639 it's particles spinning around a little 196 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:47,000 faster a little wider and then you could 197 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360 walk on air and a cloud and think about 198 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,599 Yeshua he could walk through a wall he 199 00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:53,720 could walk on top of the water he could 200 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840 rise up in a cloud and and he looked at 201 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,759 him and said you guys don't even 202 00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:59,879 understand this I'm like this is ABC why 203 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:01,759 aren't you all doing this you're going 204 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:04,400 what because we don't understand if we 205 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960 could see what was really what nature 206 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,199 was made up it's it's amazing so um so 207 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,240 this is the world we live in and we look 208 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120 at this world and a lot of the world is 209 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,479 a play on light and darkness and there 210 00:08:17,479 --> 00:08:19,520 must have been somebody that made this 211 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,039 light now a lot of Bible commentaries 212 00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:25,440 both Jewish and Christian have noticed 213 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,560 the fact that the sun wasn't created 214 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,960 till the fourth day and light created 215 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,680 the universe on the first day which 216 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,240 means the light of the first day wasn't 217 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,880 just the light of the sun it was before 218 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,399 the sun it was and you can look at that 219 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:39,120 in two ways mystically both in Mystic 220 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,240 Christianity and Mystic Judaism it's 221 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,279 kind of like Zohar it's kind of seen as 222 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:47,160 this Divine Light spiritual light um but 223 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,120 even just in the plain sense of the text 224 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800 it's the it's the original Power that 225 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,360 just of the big bang that blasted the 226 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,519 energy out into the world so you could 227 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:00,440 see in all that levels now so 228 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,800 after a while the prophets were 229 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,680 obviously thinking about that and that 230 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,200 one of the great prophets of course is 231 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,560 Isaiah and that was going to bounce us 232 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,240 all the way up into the Christmas story 233 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,160 I hadn't forgot about it and Hanukkah so 234 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,200 let's go up to uh Isaiah chapter 235 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,360 9 and this is um it's verse one in the 236 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,640 Hebrew and two in the English it's a 237 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,959 little different right and Isaiah is 238 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,959 thinking about this and he's realizing 239 00:09:25,959 --> 00:09:28,120 that the light of 240 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,120 creation was 241 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,320 something 242 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,240 spiritual and something moral good and 243 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,120 bad so he says this 244 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,399 the it says the people that were living 245 00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,959 in darkness they saw a great light and 246 00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:50,920 the people living in the land of the 247 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,560 shadow of death that's Shadow is 248 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,399 darkness that a great a light shown upon 249 00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:59,800 them so he's saying that light that 250 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,720 contrast of good and bad light and dark 251 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,760 that's way the in the back in in in in 252 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,000 the beginning he's saying first of all 253 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760 there's something spiritual and he said 254 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,720 at some point that's going to appear to 255 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Mankind in a different way that we 256 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,640 haven't understood he said that what 257 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,839 we've you can read Genesis 1 I mean this 258 00:10:18,839 --> 00:10:21,560 was before Einstein when but he said 259 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,440 sometime this light is we we as a human 260 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200 beings we are living in darkness all of 261 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,640 us as human beings we are living living 262 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120 in spiritual darkness and at some point 263 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,360 this spiritual light is going to come in 264 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,399 and shine upon 265 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,560 us what an amazing thing and then he 266 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,000 says I think now what is this 267 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,200 light what is that light was from 268 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,880 Genesis but not just the light of the 269 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920 Sun but a spiritual light that comes 270 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,560 with it that represents it between good 271 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,839 and bad what is 272 00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:00,360 it and he's praying when he gets a 273 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,480 vision he understands it's not a what 274 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920 it's not a what it's a 275 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,760 who it's not a what it's a who the light 276 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,560 is coming from the guy that made the 277 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,519 light and would you ask that you're 278 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:14,839 thinking of what because we're still 279 00:11:14,839 --> 00:11:16,800 thinking of neutral energy this there is 280 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,279 no such thing as neutral energy it's all 281 00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,440 personal and God he said that light when 282 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,560 it comes to us is not going to be like 283 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,760 just the sun shining it's going to be 284 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,399 born into us like a baby come on whoever 285 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:30,800 had that thought I think Isaiah was the 286 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,200 first person to have that thought pretty 287 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,160 deep thought huh that's what is verse um 288 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,279 what is it it's it's five in Hebrew six 289 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:42,200 in English and says 290 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,600 this for now let's just make the 291 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,440 connection he said the people living in 292 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,320 darkness are going to see a light what 293 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,399 is the light no who is the light they're 294 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,160 going to see a light 295 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800 because a child will be given will be 296 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,720 born he says for a child will be born to 297 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,079 us and a son will be given to us and on 298 00:12:09,079 --> 00:12:11,959 and uh the government will be on his 299 00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:13,639 shoulders and he and his name will be 300 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:17,480 called a wonderful counselor Mighty God 301 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,399 Everlasting father the Prince of Peace 302 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,320 amazing so the light is going to come 303 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,279 into this world in a 304 00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:31,160 baby and you think why didn't God just 305 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,360 bring the light only like a um like the 306 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800 pillar of fire in the wilderness that's 307 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,399 what the people weren't ready to see the 308 00:12:39,399 --> 00:12:42,160 real light they had get was halfway you 309 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,120 know he was like well I wish I could 310 00:12:43,120 -->

313 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,600 from heaven riding on a right 314 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000 horse well that's a stupid question God 315 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,360 likes 316 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,680 babies God likes babies 317 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,800 but why does he want to have his light 318 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,040 come into the world coming down as an 319 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,120 adult he wants to see a baby God likes 320 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,360 babies that's his idea not yours you 321 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,279 know we could bring a Le oror because 322 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,440 God likes babies why does he so he's 323 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120 going to bring his eternal light that 324 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,240 created the world he's going to bring it 325 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,199 into this world in the form of a baby 326 00:13:18,199 --> 00:13:20,560 now come on only God could think of that 327 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,480 one huh that's pretty astounding so he's 328 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,920 going to bring the light now this light 329 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,959 because uh we're still influenced as 330 00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:30,959 much much as we are believers we're 331 00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:33,880 still influenced by kind of naturalism 332 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,079 materialism and we think that energy is 333 00:13:37,079 --> 00:13:40,000 neutral there's got no no qualities to 334 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,360 it but power in the Bible is personal 335 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,120 the light has the character qualities of 336 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,720 that child in 337 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,600 it the child has the character quality 338 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,199 of of God in it it's it's not just its 339 00:13:57,199 --> 00:13:59,880 energy but it's energy with love 340 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,600 and its energy with generosity and its 341 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,440 energy with Holiness and with humility 342 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,279 and with all the all the wonderful 343 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:08,480 qualities of God are in that light power 344 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,639 that's in it it's not neutral physical 345 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:14,800 light or even neutral spiritual light it 346 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,519 is personal of the light the character 347 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,040 the qu the character qual qualities of 348 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,360 an all powerful and loving God I mean 349 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,399 all the young people want to have 350 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:27,920 positive energy this is the most 351 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,320 positive energy you get you could get 352 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,079 it's so positive that it's pure it's so 353 00:14:33,079 --> 00:14:35,600 pure that it's holy and it's loving and 354 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,680 it's generous and it's patient and it's 355 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,839 humble and it's confit in a baby I mean 356 00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:44,000 this is this is God's light his light it 357 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,920 has energy in it I mean it's amazing 358 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,440 think the energy that created the whole 359 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,959 universe is in that baby and from God's 360 00:14:51,959 --> 00:14:54,399 point of view think about the big bang 361 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:57,040 with all the materialist out there how 362 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,040 much energy to create that how to be out 363 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,000 there energy time mass times speed of 364 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,839 light squar I mean that's enormous 365 00:15:04,839 --> 00:15:06,800 amount of energy enormous amount of 366 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,399 energy but to God that's smaller than 367 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,120 the characteristic of love that's in the 368 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,240 child I mean that to God that's stronger 369 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,120 I mean all that power he's all 370 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,959 powerful but what's impressing him is 371 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:21,800 the love the love that's in that baby 372 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,120 wow now we 373 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,839 because our people have been turned away 374 00:15:27,839 --> 00:15:30,440 from the Lord we want 375 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,120 we get sensitive about this word Ben the 376 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,560 Son of God well here it is a child is 377 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,279 born to us a son is 378 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,800 given who who is this child this isn't 379 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,600 any child it's it's the child who's also 380 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,199 called The Mighty God and the 381 00:15:44,199 --> 00:15:45,839 Everlasting father and wonderful and 382 00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:48,120 counselor and Prince of Peace and Men 383 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,880 this is the child so we don't have 384 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,240 anything to be afraid about saying the 385 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480 word the Son of God here it is among 386 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,480 many places in Isaiah 9 a child is given 387 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,480 to us a son is Born To Us 388 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,199 and the government of the king that's 389 00:16:01,199 --> 00:16:03,399 the that's the Messiah the government 390 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,240 will be upon him now we'll come back to 391 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,959 that in a moment uh let's jump back and 392 00:16:09,959 --> 00:16:12,399 do a little bit of background 393 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:16,079 to kanuka and Christmas here uh don't 394 00:16:16,079 --> 00:16:18,399 get offended I'm going to but what I say 395 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,319 here just but kanuka is taken there's 396 00:16:22,319 --> 00:16:24,160 actually two totally different stories 397 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,639 in hanuka one is the story of the makabe 398 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,120 conquest and the other one is the story 399 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,000 of the the Min the kanuk in the temple 400 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,399 and they're to totally two different 401 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:36,360 stories the story about the mabes is 402 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160 historically in the book of mccabes 403 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 which is between what we call the law 404 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,480 and the prophets and the New Covenant 405 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,800 between the Old Testament and the New 406 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,079 Testament uh Catholics actually see that 407 00:16:45,079 --> 00:16:48,120 as part of the Bible uh we Jews and 408 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,720 Protestants don't see that as it's an 409 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560 inner testamental book um and it's a 410 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560 historical book we'll come that to 411 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,000 minute then there's another part this 412 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,319 thing about the lighting of the lamp in 413 00:16:57,319 --> 00:16:59,639 the eight days that's all the way in the 414 00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:01,519 gar that wasn't that wasn't written till 415 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,920 400 years after the time of the New 416 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,079 Covenant and it's only in one place in 417 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,240 other words the the the textual support 418 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,199 that that even happened is pretty weak 419 00:17:11,199 --> 00:17:14,480 now that doesn't have to bother us uh 420 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,480 because it's talking about lighting the 421 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,959 manora in the temple and that's got 422 00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:20,439 hundreds of references to the whole 423 00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:22,160 Bible so we we believe in the 424 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880 restoration we believe in the meaning of 425 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,280 the in the 426 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,200 temple whether the kanuk the Min is the 427 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,559 Seven Candle the kukia is the eight and 428 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:34,480 the 429 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,120 nine candled one and that the reason why 430 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,919 there's eight days to kanuka is because 431 00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:43,440 it's sukot huh did you know that kanuka 432 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,000 was sukot kanuka was got when the temple 433 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,160 was in the and the Tabernacle was 434 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 dedicated was an 8-day ceremony from the 435 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,840 eight days that's according to the8 days 436 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,080 of of sukot that's when it was dedicated 437 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,919 now when they when they conquered 438 00:17:58,919 --> 00:18:00,039 according the story when they conquered 439 00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,400 the temple it was already past the time 440 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,520 so they took another 8 days in Kev to to 441 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520 uh to cleanse the temple and to and and 442 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840 so they had to take another eight days 443 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,240 um and Define it and it wasn't they 444 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,120 didn't have oil they didn't have oil 445 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:17,000 that was sealed by the priest it wasn't 446 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,720 there wasn't any oil in the city they 447 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,200 didn't have they didn't have oil with 448 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,679 Aim so it wasn't it wasn't pure from 449 00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:27,559 from the from the temple Viewpoint so 450 00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:31,480 anyway that story did it really happen I 451 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,799 could see yes or no it could be a later 452 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:35,200 invention to kind of compete with 453 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,919 Christmas I don't know whatever it is it 454 00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:39,520 but in any case it doesn't matter why do 455 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,600 I say it doesn't matter because we we 456 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,880 believe in the spiritual meaning of the 457 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,360 of the manur that this baby is the light 458 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:52,039 and then he comes to light the manur and 459 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,280 we see that in Revelation chap 1 big 460 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,799 surprise it says it's clear no mystery 461 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:00,840 it says clear the manora is the Ecclesia 462 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,080 the manora in the temple is a symbol of 463 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,360 the Ecclesia this the branches are the 464 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,960 different people groups and it's being 465 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,840 lit by the high priest the high priest 466 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,320 is the is is Yeshua he lights a 467 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,280 different people in congregations and 468 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,679 people of Faith all around the world he 469 00:19:16,679 --> 00:19:18,360 brings the light into the world and then 470 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:21,280 he lights us up so that we become 471 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,720 together Jews and people from all the 472 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840 nations that believe in him we become a 473 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,400 living minora of the light of God 474 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,280 hallelujah so that's what we're we're 475 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,559 here to do now the 476 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,559 mccabes and let's go back to that story 477 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,440 macbes was basically 478 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,400 uh um a group of ultra Orthodox Jews who 479 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,039 conquered uh the Greeks the Greek Empire 480 00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:53,120 at that time and reconquered the Temple 481 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,360 Mount Hallelujah let's eat donuts you 482 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,799 know to celebrate but 483 00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:04,159 um listen the political implications of 484 00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:09,159 this holiday in our generation 485 00:20:09,159 --> 00:20:13,200 are pretty crazy I mean do we believe in 486 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,760 that do we believe do we want a group of 487 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,280 ultra Orthodox Jews going now and taking 488 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,559 an army and burning down the eloa mosque 489 00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:23,240 and and and taking a building up a 490 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,960 temple and doing that well at some point 491 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,880 that's going to happen but I don't know 492 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,880 that that's what we're going to say well 493 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,320 we want that to happen right now I mean 494 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,440 that could that could cause a lot of 495 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,440 problems I'm saying that's basically 496 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,400 what they did so but then after they set 497 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,080 that up they like they became a corrupt 498 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,600 priesthood in the government themselves 499 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,000 and they had to be destroyed but what I 500 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,039 realized and that's why it the in the 501 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:48,840 new in the New Covenant it recognizes in 502 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,360 John 10 recognizes that this was a 503 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,919 holiday it doesn't it doesn't criticize 504 00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:55,360 it but doesn't really bless it it's just 505 00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:57,200 this is something that happened there in 506 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,679 other words I interpret that to mean 507 00:20:58,679 --> 00:21:00,000 were good things and bad things that 508 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,720 happened in that 200-year period of the 509 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,240 mcabe story now here's something else 510 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,640 now this is my interpretation of it that 511 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,080 had to happen the story of the mccabes 512 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,880 had to happen before you get to the 513 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,600 birth of Yeshua why the mabes were a 514 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,080 Messianic movement not not in the sense 515 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,520 that we mean Messianic Messianic in the 516 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,039 in the terms of ultra Orthodox militant 517 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,159 conquer kill the Romans kill the kill 518 00:21:27,159 --> 00:21:30,400 the kill the Greeks up the temple have a 519 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,400 halic state you know and and that had to 520 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,679 happen because God is preparing the 521 00:21:35,679 --> 00:21:37,159 people for the coming of the Messiah 522 00:21:37,159 --> 00:21:40,559 Yeshua so intuitively to every person 523 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,799 there's an expectation of the Messiah 524 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:46,000 coming now because because we understand 525 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,159 that the Messiah had to come first as a 526 00:21:48,159 --> 00:21:52,039 baby and to suffer the the the 527 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:53,799 expectations of the coming of the 528 00:21:53,799 --> 00:21:56,600 Messiah was correct the expectation that 529 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,600 he would be a conqueror and set up the 530 00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,880 Kingdom by driving out the Greeks and 531 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,279 Romans at that time was wrong but it had 532 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:03,880 to happen because the people wouldn't 533 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,080 have been ready for the king to come so 534 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,320 it built the faith of the expectation of 535 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,440 the Messiah am I going too fast you're 536 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,760 with it built the expectations of the 537 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520 coming of the Messiah in a good way but 538 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,200 it also let to led to a conflict that 539 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080 the people were were such a high level 540 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,039 of expecting a 541 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,880 militant uh Messiah at that time that 542 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,640 Yeshua coming on dying on the cross was 543 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,240 a scandal to them so they but so it had 544 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,919 to happen yet it was also doomed to half 545 00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:37,840 of a failure half success and half 546 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,720 failure I was thinking about 547 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,919 that I think 548 00:22:44,919 --> 00:22:49,080 that kind of a makabe generation has to 549 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,039 happen again in the generation before 550 00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:54,559 Yeshua coming the second time because 551 00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:56,600 the ex the the expectations of the 552 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,000 coming of the Messianic Kingdom have to 553 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,720 be built up both in Israel and around 554 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,440 the world again in other words this 555 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,559 holiday is having a meaning not just uh 556 00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:10,039 of 2,200 years ago but now it's starting 557 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,320 to have meaning now in our country 558 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,360 because for and it's going to cause a 559 00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:16,320 problem it's good and bad but it's 560 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,240 unavoidable there has to be a movement 561 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,760 of building up expectations in our 562 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,520 country and in the rest of the nations 563 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,880 of the world for Yeshua to be able to 564 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,320 come back he comes back to a Messianic 565 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,279 apocalyptic expectations now the funny 566 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,679 thing is this time he's not coming back 567 00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:36,919 to disappoint he is coming back to 568 00:23:36,919 --> 00:23:39,400 conquer he's not coming as a baby he's 569 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,159 coming back as a conquering King from 570 00:23:41,159 --> 00:23:43,080 the heaven it's almost like what the 571 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,799 macbes were sort of wishing that would 572 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:46,720 happen the lion of the tribe of Judah is 573 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,000 going to come and that's what they 574 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,159 wanted to happen 2,000 years ago and it 575 00:23:50,159 --> 00:23:52,080 didn't happen and they were freaked out 576 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,880

that the that 588 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,240 the tribe of Judah will be fighting for 589 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,960 Jerusalem fighting for God being heroic 590 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,720

world well none of this 763 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,919 is a child of course but two chapters 764 00:31:18,919 --> 00:31:20,519 before that Isaiah 7 says he's going to 765 00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:22,159 be born of a 766 00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:24,360 virgin now our people want to say that 767 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,639 it's not true listen all the Orthodox 768 00:31:26,639 --> 00:31:30,840 Jews you ever notice no that all of our 769 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,559 what what's it what's the word for 770 00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:35,960 matriarchs all of our matriarch Sarah 771 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,440 Rifka Rachel were all 772 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,200 Baron as well as who else was Baron Kan 773 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,120 the mother of of of S Shimon and then 774 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,679 you have uh Elizabeth the mother of the 775 00:31:49,679 --> 00:31:53,159 mother of John all six people well now I 776 00:31:53,159 --> 00:31:54,799 didn't say this the rabbis say this now 777 00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:56,919 they actually exaggerate this they said 778 00:31:56,919 --> 00:31:59,080 well why are why were why were all the 779 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,080 mothers a a kot why were they Barren and 780 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,559 why did that the way because God wanted 781 00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:07,919 their the birth to be Supernatural they 782 00:32:07,919 --> 00:32:10,720 say that not me they say all the 783 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,279 forefathers were born supernaturally it 784 00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:15,480 was a miracle that they that the 785 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,480 children were born there in fact they 786 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,519 even say that really it was born that 787 00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,600 way because the children Abraham Isaac 788 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,440 and Jacob and Joseph and Judah were 789 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,039 really born without the effects of the 790 00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,080 fall of Adam and Eve because it was a 791 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,159 supernatural event now I don't think 792 00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:34,880 that's true because you'd have to be a 793 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,279 total virgin to not have that effect but 794 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:39,320 that's the exact s that's the correct 795 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,320 thinking why were all these people in 796 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,039 because God has and I would I would 797 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:44,600 correct it to say this it's not that 798 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,000 they overcame the power original sin but 799 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000 they were born out of a promise they 800 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,639 were born miraculously of a promise and 801 00:32:51,639 --> 00:32:54,760 that Covenant promise then led the way 802 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,559 for the full virgin Miriam to be born 803 00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,760 and and this is a hope and we've talked 804 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,000 about this of seeing uh Miriam we talked 805 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,399 about that last week of Miriam as being 806 00:33:07,399 --> 00:33:11,320 the ultimate Ultra Orthodox 807 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,639 girl I mean because what you know why 808 00:33:14,639 --> 00:33:16,120 are all these Orthodox girls having so 809 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,679 many kids because they're 810 00:33:18,679 --> 00:33:23,120 thinking maybe my child maybe my child 811 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,799 maybe my child will be the Messiah so if 812 00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:28,519 I can have 200 kids then I have greater 813 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:31,320 odds of it being the Messiah I'm but but 814 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,480 the point is they are they are looking 815 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,919 to keep themselves pure and holy and 816 00:33:35,919 --> 00:33:37,480 bear children because they're believing 817 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,080 that the Messiah will come out of this 818 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,559 generation and and Miriam was the 819 00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,480 ultimate Orthodox Jewish girl holding 820 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,840 herself pure believing for the Messiah 821 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,159 to come now of course it was way above 822 00:33:49,159 --> 00:33:51,679 what she was expecting but still look at 823 00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:54,039 this is I mean Christmas the birth of 824 00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:56,039 the Messiah should be the most Jewish 825 00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:58,320 holiday in the world I mean is if you 826 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,600 talk about Jewish Jewish Jewish the 827 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,559 Jewish King the son of David was born 828 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:04,399 into this world by an Orthodox Jewish 829 00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:07,039 girl who M maintained herself pure to 830 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:09,399 give birth to Messiah so that God could 831 00:34:09,399 --> 00:34:11,520 bring a savior to all the rest of the 832 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,200 Nations I mean this is come on this to 833 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,679 is almost 834 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,280 racist anyway so then it goes on of 835 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,040 course and then he says uh that when 836 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,560 this kingdom is about to come that all 837 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,240 the the Nations will attack it to stop 838 00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:31,480 the kingdom but they will miss it that's 839 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,440 the story of Isaiah 29 and what's called 840 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,079 the Ariel they will come and attack and 841 00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:36,399 it'll be like a dream and they will miss 842 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:38,359 it and not only that when they come to 843 00:34:38,359 --> 00:34:40,440 attack the Messiah will come as the 844 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,879 angel of the Lord and kill all the 845 00:34:41,879 --> 00:34:44,280 armies that come that's Isaiah 37 and 846 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,760 then he will come to set up his kingdom 847 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,200 on it's all there in Isaiah amazing 848 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,839 except for one thing which our people 849 00:34:51,839 --> 00:34:55,480 want to skip over to bring this Kingdom 850 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,079 he's not only got to be pure himself 851 00:34:57,079 --> 00:34:58,359 he's got to make the M the rest of the 852 00:34:58,359 --> 00:35:01,000 people in the world pure and we're not 853 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,200 pure we're sinful and we deserve death 854 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,440 and judgment and so the only way this 855 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,680 person this child who has the light of 856 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,680 God can be the king to rule over the 857 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,920 world is do something to get us out of 858 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,839 sin and death how is he going to have an 859 00:35:14,839 --> 00:35:16,440 eternal Kingdom when we're all dying 860 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,240 hello how's he going to have a pure 861 00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,280 Kingdom when we're all in sin he's got 862 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,240 to figure out a way to make us pure and 863 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:24,480 there's only one way to do that is to 864 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,079 take our sin upon himself Isaiah 53 so 865 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,920 that then he could purify us to do that 866 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,119 and that way he does he does several 867 00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:35,839 things he he takes our sin upon us to 868 00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:38,520 set us free he demonstrates to us what 869 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,079 is the light of God which is sacrificial 870 00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:43,119 love to love other people and he proves 871 00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:45,640 that he is the one worthy to be the 872 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,280 king Yeshua was crucified and said this 873 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,800 is the king of the Jews and said well I 874 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,560 don't know but then he rose from the 875 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,680 dead proof maybe you didn't believe that 876 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,960 sign over his head when he was crucified 877 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,400 that this is the king of the Jews but 878 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,440 when he rose from the dead it's kind of 879 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,280 hard to say I don't know what else you 880 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,079 got to do you know look it the the the 881 00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:11,000 the C the crucifixion was the 882 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,920 Declaration of Yeshua being the king and 883 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,920 him changing getting us out of sin so we 884 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,280 could be in his kingdom and the 885 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,720 resurrection was the proof that this is 886 00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,920 the guy hey maybe it's somebody else 887 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,800 except to be somebody else you got to 888 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,200 die and be raised from the dead to see 889 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,200 that happen I haven't seen that happen 890 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,680 yet with anybody 891 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,720 else all right so that's the story in 892 00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,599 Isaiah let's look at the last point in 893 00:36:36,599 --> 00:36:38,839 Isaiah uh and that 894 00:36:38,839 --> 00:36:41,800 is uh which has been our theme verse for 895 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,480 this year really is Isaiah 60 veres 1 896 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,960 through3 we'll end with 897 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,839 this watch the word watch the play on 898 00:36:54,839 --> 00:36:56,240 Darkness and Light again here it's 899 00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:59,319 amazing from is one created light 900 00:36:59,319 --> 00:37:03,319 Darkness the light overcomes the 901 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,640 darkness arise and shine it really says 902 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,480 shine with light 903 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,359 there your light has 904 00:37:11,359

covered the 908 00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:24,680 Earth and and fog the 909 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,040 Nations but upon you the glory of the 910 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,920 Lord will shine and uh the light will 911 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,319 shine and His glory will be seen upon 912 00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:38,599 you there and you skip over a little 913 00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,200 bit and it says and Kings will come to 914 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,200 your light uh Nations will come to your 915 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,040 KN light and Kings to your shining Glory 916 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,000 now here we see that that all these 917 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,040 themes come come together the light in 918 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,800 the Darkness Darkness covering the whole 919 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,520 Earth but then there will be a people 920 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,359 who have the light of God in them 921 00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:06,280 against Great odds numerically then the 922 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,839 darkness is bigger but the light is 923 00:38:07,839 --> 00:38:10,319 stronger so we have to rise and shine 924 00:38:10,319 --> 00:38:11,800 with light we become the manora we 925 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,200 become the kukia we become the extension 926 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,640 of the Child of Light it's both 927 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,720 Christmas and kanuka coming together 928 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:20,960 into the end times apocalyptic version 929 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,960 of the merging of Christmas and kanuka 930 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,520 coming to this is a rise and shine he's 931 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,560 saying here is that in the end times the 932 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,119 the the great majority will be huge 933 00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:36,040 darkness and fog but in that midst will 934 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,200 be a people in every nation that need to 935 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,960 arise and shine they will be the living 936 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,319 manora and their light will then come 937 00:38:43,319 --> 00:38:47,160 and push back the darkness As we sing in 938 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,119 uh 939 00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,160 in we have come to as the light to drive 940 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,079 out the darkness just I mean I so wish 941 00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:57,319 the Christians could see this part of 942 00:38:57,319 --> 00:38:58,560 the driving out the darkness and the 943 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,280 Jews could see the part of it theu is 944 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,480 where the light comes fromo they're I'll 945 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,560 get it pretty soon Hallelujah and then 946 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,200 we'll have that Victory um so we're 947 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,400 walking in this I see the darkness as 948 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,040 being evil and the and the cloud as 949 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,400 being confusion I interpret that you 950 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,480 know if there but the the the darkness I 951 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,960 think is the the the violent spirit in 952 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,680 in Islam and communist dictatorships and 953 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,400 the confusion is the the modern academic 954 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,200 news fake you know lies that's causing 955 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,280 confusion so you got darkness which is 956 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,480 evil and violence you got fog which is 957 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000 confusion but our light has to shine 958 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,640 within us to push back both the evil and 959 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,640 the confusion so this world can shine 960 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,359 and we and that's what we want to 961 00:39:47,359 --> 00:39:49,440 believe for this year couple comments 962 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,119 and we'll close one is that for each of 963 00:39:52,119 --> 00:39:54,359 us individually it's great to read this 964 00:39:54,359 --> 00:39:56,640 in the Bible but we have to all walk 965 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,000 this out in our individual lives as a 966 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000 nation as all the eclesia but each one 967 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,960 of us individually you got to walk this 968 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,560 out oh what a beautiful 969 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,680 verse oh it sounds so nice no you're 970 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,520 talking about living in a world of evil 971 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,520 and darkness and you got to stand up by 972 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,520 faith and let your light shine in the 973 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,880 dark I mean this is terrifyingly 974 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,839 demanding Faith to stand up and do that 975 00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:25,800 but we but we have to do that and what 976 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,880 you know it's like psalm 23 it 977 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,040 says even if I have to walk through the 978 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,560 valley of the shadow of death will fear 979 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,960 no evil and what I say to a lot of 980 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,160 people listen it doesn't say when you 981 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,359 get stuck in the Valley of the shadow of 982 00:40:41,359 --> 00:40:44,079 death it says when you walk through it 983 00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,319 and I've learned this year no matter 984 00:40:46,319 --> 00:40:48,560 what happens just put the next foot in 985 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,000 front of your foot and then put the next 986 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,560 foot just keep going when you feel 987 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,280 Darkness all over you and depression and 988 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,359 fear and 989 00:40:58,359 --> 00:41:01,200 oosh with a Despair and it just like and 990 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,160 you can't go on just take one more step 991 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,280 just keep going just don't stop in if 992 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,800 you stop in the middle of the valley of 993 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,920 death and sit down you're going to 994
