WEBVTT 00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:02.120 so this year we 00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:06.960 have Christmas and kanuka the same time 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:08.440 so how are we not going to talk about a 00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:09.760 little bit we'll talk about a little bit 00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:12.320 the light of God coming into the world 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.679 which is the common theme of both of 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.840 them maybe give a little bit of 00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:19.240 background both to uh Christmas and 00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:22.680 kanuka so let's start how not in 00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:25.279 um Genesis chapter 00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:29.560 1 vers 1-4 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.160 says in the beginning God created the 00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:37.440 heavens and the Earth and the Earth was 00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:40.480 formless and void and darkness was over 00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:43.559 the face of the deep notice 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:45.960 immediately in the first couple of 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.039 verses of the Bible of Genesis that 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.800 there's a a conflict between Darkness 00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:54.480 and Light it's amazing skip out to the 00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:58.039 next verse coming 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:05.400 and God said let there be light and 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.600 there was light and God saw that the 00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:11.320 light was good and God separated between 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.680 the light and the Darkness so we've got 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.360 four times it says light and three times 00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:17.520 it says Darkness says the light is good 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:19.880 and the Darkness is bad so you see right 00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:22.479 at the beginning at the very beginning 00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:25.000 of the Bible there's a conflict between 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.159 and or contrast contrast I would say 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.400 physically between light light and 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.759 darkness and a conflict between good and 00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.280 bad the the spiritual part of light is 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.880 in a conflict with the spiritual part of 00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:41.560 darkness in the natural physical world 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.280 there's just a uh a contrast between the 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:50.600 two um it's amazing to think that um 00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:52.320 that this is how that God created the 00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.799 world by using the power of 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.759 light um I we don't know what people 00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:01.079 thought for most of the past 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.479 6,000 years until Einstein came and he 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:06.399 and he said that that energy is equal to 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:09.119 mass times the speed of light I mean it 00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:12.800 it's it's that what we think is physical 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.480 is actually you can convert between mass 00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.560 and light I mean it's who would have 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.319 thought of that you think energy being 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.080 the power of the Holy Spirit the dunamis 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.440 of the Holy Spirit Light being light and 00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:25.760 mass is being everything that was 00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:27.760 created I mean Einstein said that all 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:29.959 goes together I don't know what people 00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:31.959 thought I mean until this time you read 00:02:31.959 --> 00:02:34.360 those vers said well I believe but now 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.200 it's it's physically totally obvious now 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.640 it what it means is also that what we 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:43.440 what looks to be physical is not as 00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.360 physical as you think it is because mass 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.640 is really just converted energy if if as 00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:51.519 I understand the physics and I don't 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:53.720 understand it that all the physical 00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:55.800 world is actually very tiny tiny 00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:57.440 particles that are moving very very 00:02:57.440 --> 00:02:59.920 quickly and so it gives sort of an 00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:01.760 illusion that it's Mass but it's not 00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:04.319 really it's tiny little articles 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.799 particles that are moving so quickly 00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:09.440 that it it uh but really there's so much 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.360 space between them it's kind of like if 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.480 you look at the solar system if you 00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:15.040 would look at the solar system far away 00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:17.319 it would look like one Mass but when you 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.080 get up close there's there's light years 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.080 of distance between the planets and 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.640 everything as I understand if you were 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:25.519 to take all the matter in the world and 00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:27.640 collapse it down so that there would be 00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:30.439 no space between it at all just matter 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.159 matter matter you could put all the 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.760 matter in the universe basically in your 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:37.680 hands now it would weigh you know trilli 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.959 beyond what we could imagine that it 00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:40.799 could but really the mass you mean the 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:43.480 Bible says that God held the mass of the 00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:45.000 universe in his hand before he created 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.120 it now think of this and then he and 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.519 then it he multiplied it by light so 00:03:50.519 --> 00:03:52.599 what we think of is just mass is not 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:54.519 really mass is convertible into light 00:03:54.519 --> 00:03:57.840 and back and forth incredible I was 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.799 thinking that the example of of a 00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:02.879 hologram not not what we have as a 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.599 hologram but if you had a super hologram 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.840 that was actually really 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:08.720 three-dimensional where you could see a 00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.159 figure that was made of light particles 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:13.439 and you you could make a picture out of 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.479 light almost like a you know 3D printing 00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:18.759 but if you could see that you could 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.280 actually see a figure there would there 00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:21.919 would be a figure made out of light it 00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:23.919 would be real you could actually walk 00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:25.440 right through 00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:28.160 it it doesn't mean it wouldn't be there 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.400 but that's what the world is the world 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:33.520 is kind of God's light hologram amazing 00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:36.600 and if you understood it like Yeshua you 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.080 could walk right through the wall just 00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:40.240 like you could walk through a hologram 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.639 we don't understand it you know by the 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.960 way I know this don't get offended all 00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:48.600 of us we all talk about supernatural 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.199 that world's not in the Bible not one 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.479 time that I'm aware of what I think that 00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:53.880 we what our understanding of the world 00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:56.120 is subnatural what you think of as 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.080 Miracles is just being natural it's not 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:00.240 Supernatural That's just being natural 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.560 the the to think the natural world is is 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.120 something not under our control is 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.720 subnatural know what I'm saying so if we 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.560 were to understand how things work so 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.960 the whole world is like that so it's 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.000 kind of a a hologram now if you were to 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.080 make a hologram light particles forming 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:17.880 a being that you could walk through and 00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:20.720 walk out now if you would look at that 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.039 say I'm looking at a hologram here and 00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:26.720 uh then I'd have to ask the question 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.400 where did that hologram come from if 00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:30.919 there's hologram here there must be 00:05:30.919 --> 00:05:33.039 somebody sitting somewhere else this 00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:35.000 hologram didn't get here by itself 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.880 there's somebody somewhere else that 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:38.840 designed the Hologram and is shooting 00:05:38.840 --> 00:05:40.960 the picture of this hologram into here 00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:42.800 so when we look at the universe it's 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.240 it's a hologram according to Genesis 1 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.319 and Einstein physics and you look at 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.800 this well it didn't couldn't get there 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.240 by itself who where's the guy or where's 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.080 the thing that made that got that put 00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:55.759 this hologram into place and if you 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.520 realize that's what matter is it can 00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:59.199 matter can convert back and forth into 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.080 energy and the energy is light come on 00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:04.440 that's in the Bible it's the first verse 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:05.919 of the Bible so it says the light comes 00:06:05.919 --> 00:06:08.919 in and out and um and when you realize 00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:11.160 it all matters that way so maybe you 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.199 could walk through a hologram now let's 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.360 think of the air around us I mean 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.720 there's this is not Hollow front of us 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:19.479 there's air right there's particles in 00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:21.800 the air around us but you can walk 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.000 through it because it doesn't mean 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.560 there's not particles there there's 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.360 particles there it's created and it's 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.479 got light in it there's light and what 00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:29.880 else is in the air around us one of the 00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:33.199 things is is water there water now you 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.160 could have in the air right now if it's 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.199 a dry day 10% humidity you go wet day 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.400 you got 90% humidity you can have more 00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.880 or less water in the air but you can 00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:44.520 still walk through it you know what I'm 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:46.280 saying now if it gets more than that you 00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:48.599 could actually have a cloud and if you 00:06:48.599 --> 00:06:50.840 got more than that you have water and 00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:52.479 then the water could come come down I 00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:54.440 mean it's it's but it's all just 00:06:54.440 --> 00:06:56.919 different forms of light and energy and 00:06:56.919 --> 00:06:59.720 so just as if you understood it I mean 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.800 how can you even walk on Solid Ground I 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.319 mean if you could see what was there you 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.360 would be terrified I don't know how we 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:07.879 all sit on a plane you know I was 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:09.000 thinking the last time I flew on a plane 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.800 I was sitting there and it was kind of 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.960 windy outside we're up in the there the 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:14.879 plane is kind of shaking I'm thinking 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.160 between me and being 30,000 you know 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.960 feet above the ground is this thin tin 00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:24.240 can that I could probably punch through 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.280 it if I hit it or not I said why am I 00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:28.360 trusting that I could sit here because 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.680 cuz really but if if IID understand 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.840 Yeshua could have just walked right 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:33.560 through the plane and just kept walking 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:35.080 you could understand the physics of 00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:38.560 what's going on so if you walk on hard 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.960 land it's just it's just particles 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:43.080 spinning around and you walk on water 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:45.639 it's particles spinning around a little 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.000 faster a little wider and then you could 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.360 walk on air and a cloud and think about 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.599 Yeshua he could walk through a wall he 00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:53.720 could walk on top of the water he could 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.840 rise up in a cloud and and he looked at 00:07:55.840 --> 00:07:57.759 him and said you guys don't even 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.879 understand this I'm like this is ABC why 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.759 aren't you all doing this you're going 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.400 what because we don't understand if we 00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:06.960 could see what was really what nature 00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:11.199 was made up it's it's amazing so um so 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.240 this is the world we live in and we look 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.120 at this world and a lot of the world is 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.479 a play on light and darkness and there 00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:19.520 must have been somebody that made this 00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:23.039 light now a lot of Bible commentaries 00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:25.440 both Jewish and Christian have noticed 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:27.560 the fact that the sun wasn't created 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:28.960 till the fourth day and light created 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:30.680 the universe on the first day which 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.240 means the light of the first day wasn't 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:33.880 just the light of the sun it was before 00:08:33.880 --> 00:08:36.399 the sun it was and you can look at that 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.120 in two ways mystically both in Mystic 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.240 Christianity and Mystic Judaism it's 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.279 kind of like Zohar it's kind of seen as 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.160 this Divine Light spiritual light um but 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:49.120 even just in the plain sense of the text 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.800 it's the it's the original Power that 00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:54.360 just of the big bang that blasted the 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.519 energy out into the world so you could 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.440 see in all that levels now so 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:01.800 after a while the prophets were 00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:03.680 obviously thinking about that and that 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:05.200 one of the great prophets of course is 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.560 Isaiah and that was going to bounce us 00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:08.240 all the way up into the Christmas story 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.160 I hadn't forgot about it and Hanukkah so 00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:14.200 let's go up to uh Isaiah chapter 00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:18.360 9 and this is um it's verse one in the 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.640 Hebrew and two in the English it's a 00:09:19.640 --> 00:09:22.959 little different right and Isaiah is 00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:25.959 thinking about this and he's realizing 00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:28.120 that the light of 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.120 creation was 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.320 something 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.240 spiritual and something moral good and 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:39.120 bad so he says this 00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:45.399 the it says the people that were living 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.959 in darkness they saw a great light and 00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:50.920 the people living in the land of the 00:09:50.920 --> 00:09:52.560 shadow of death that's Shadow is 00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:55.399 darkness that a great a light shown upon 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.800 them so he's saying that light that 00:09:59.800 --> 00:10:01.720 contrast of good and bad light and dark 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.760 that's way the in the back in in in in 00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:07.000 the beginning he's saying first of all 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.760 there's something spiritual and he said 00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:12.720 at some point that's going to appear to 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.640 Mankind in a different way that we 00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:16.640 haven't understood he said that what 00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:18.839 we've you can read Genesis 1 I mean this 00:10:18.839 --> 00:10:21.560 was before Einstein when but he said 00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:25.440 sometime this light is we we as a human 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.200 beings we are living in darkness all of 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.640 us as human beings we are living living 00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:32.120 in spiritual darkness and at some point 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.360 this spiritual light is going to come in 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.399 and shine upon 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.560 us what an amazing thing and then he 00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:44.000 says I think now what is this 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.200 light what is that light was from 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.880 Genesis but not just the light of the 00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:53.920 Sun but a spiritual light that comes 00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:55.560 with it that represents it between good 00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:57.839 and bad what is 00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:00.360 it and he's praying when he gets a 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.480 vision he understands it's not a what 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.920 it's not a what it's a 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:09.760 who it's not a what it's a who the light 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:11.560 is coming from the guy that made the 00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:13.519 light and would you ask that you're 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:14.839 thinking of what because we're still 00:11:14.839 --> 00:11:16.800 thinking of neutral energy this there is 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:19.279 no such thing as neutral energy it's all 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.440 personal and God he said that light when 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.560 it comes to us is not going to be like 00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:25.760 just the sun shining it's going to be 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:29.399 born into us like a baby come on whoever 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:30.800 had that thought I think Isaiah was the 00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:33.200 first person to have that thought pretty 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.160 deep thought huh that's what is verse um 00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:39.279 what is it it's it's five in Hebrew six 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.200 in English and says 00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:51.600 this for now let's just make the 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.440 connection he said the people living in 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.320 darkness are going to see a light what 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.399 is the light no who is the light they're 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.160 going to see a light 00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:02.800 because a child will be given will be 00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:05.720 born he says for a child will be born to 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.079 us and a son will be given to us and on 00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:11.959 and uh the government will be on his 00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:13.639 shoulders and he and his name will be 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.480 called a wonderful counselor Mighty God 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.399 Everlasting father the Prince of Peace 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.320 amazing so the light is going to come 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.279 into this world in a 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.160 baby and you think why didn't God just 00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:35.360 bring the light only like a um like the 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.800 pillar of fire in the wilderness that's 00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:39.399 what the people weren't ready to see the 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.160 real light they had get was halfway you 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:43.120 know he was like well I wish I could 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.760 have seen that pillar no no no no this 00:12:44.760 --> 00:12:46.600 is better the B well why did he bring it 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.800 as a baby why didn't he just come down 00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:50.600 from heaven riding on a right 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.000 horse well that's a stupid question God 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.360 likes 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.680 babies God likes babies 00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:00.800 but why does he want to have his light 00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:02.040 come into the world coming down as an 00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:04.120 adult he wants to see a baby God likes 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.360 babies that's his idea not yours you 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.279 know we could bring a Le oror because 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.440 God likes babies why does he so he's 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.120 going to bring his eternal light that 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.240 created the world he's going to bring it 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.199 into this world in the form of a baby 00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:20.560 now come on only God could think of that 00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:23.480 one huh that's pretty astounding so he's 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.920 going to bring the light now this light 00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:28.959 because uh we're still influenced as 00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:30.959 much much as we are believers we're 00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:33.880 still influenced by kind of naturalism 00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:37.079 materialism and we think that energy is 00:13:37.079 --> 00:13:40.000 neutral there's got no no qualities to 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.360 it but power in the Bible is personal 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.120 the light has the character qualities of 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.720 that child in 00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:53.600 it the child has the character quality 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.199 of of God in it it's it's not just its 00:13:57.199 --> 00:13:59.880 energy but it's energy with love 00:13:59.880 --> 00:14:02.600 and its energy with generosity and its 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.440 energy with Holiness and with humility 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.279 and with all the all the wonderful 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.480 qualities of God are in that light power 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.639 that's in it it's not neutral physical 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.800 light or even neutral spiritual light it 00:14:14.800 --> 00:14:18.519 is personal of the light the character 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.040 the qu the character qual qualities of 00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:25.360 an all powerful and loving God I mean 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.399 all the young people want to have 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.920 positive energy this is the most 00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:30.320 positive energy you get you could get 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.079 it's so positive that it's pure it's so 00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:35.600 pure that it's holy and it's loving and 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.680 it's generous and it's patient and it's 00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:40.839 humble and it's confit in a baby I mean 00:14:40.839 --> 00:14:44.000 this is this is God's light his light it 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.920 has energy in it I mean it's amazing 00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:48.440 think the energy that created the whole 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.959 universe is in that baby and from God's 00:14:51.959 --> 00:14:54.399 point of view think about the big bang 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.040 with all the materialist out there how 00:14:57.040 --> 00:15:00.040 much energy to create that how to be out 00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:03.000 there energy time mass times speed of 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.839 light squar I mean that's enormous 00:15:04.839 --> 00:15:06.800 amount of energy enormous amount of 00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:10.399 energy but to God that's smaller than 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.120 the characteristic of love that's in the 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.240 child I mean that to God that's stronger 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.120 I mean all that power he's all 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.959 powerful but what's impressing him is 00:15:18.959 --> 00:15:21.800 the love the love that's in that baby 00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:25.120 wow now we 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.839 because our people have been turned away 00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:30.440 from the Lord we want 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.120 we get sensitive about this word Ben the 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.560 Son of God well here it is a child is 00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:37.279 born to us a son is 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.800 given who who is this child this isn't 00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:42.600 any child it's it's the child who's also 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.199 called The Mighty God and the 00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:45.839 Everlasting father and wonderful and 00:15:45.839 --> 00:15:48.120 counselor and Prince of Peace and Men 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:49.880 this is the child so we don't have 00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:51.240 anything to be afraid about saying the 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.480 word the Son of God here it is among 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.480 many places in Isaiah 9 a child is given 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.480 to us a son is Born To Us 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.199 and the government of the king that's 00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:03.399 the that's the Messiah the government 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.240 will be upon him now we'll come back to 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.959 that in a moment uh let's jump back and 00:16:09.959 --> 00:16:12.399 do a little bit of background 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.079 to kanuka and Christmas here uh don't 00:16:16.079 --> 00:16:18.399 get offended I'm going to but what I say 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.319 here just but kanuka is taken there's 00:16:22.319 --> 00:16:24.160 actually two totally different stories 00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:26.639 in hanuka one is the story of the makabe 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.120 conquest and the other one is the story 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:32.000 of the the Min the kanuk in the temple 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.399 and they're to totally two different 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.360 stories the story about the mabes is 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.160 historically in the book of mccabes 00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:40.160 which is between what we call the law 00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:41.480 and the prophets and the New Covenant 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.800 between the Old Testament and the New 00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:45.079 Testament uh Catholics actually see that 00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:48.120 as part of the Bible uh we Jews and 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.720 Protestants don't see that as it's an 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.560 inner testamental book um and it's a 00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:54.560 historical book we'll come that to 00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:56.000 minute then there's another part this 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.319 thing about the lighting of the lamp in 00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:59.639 the eight days that's all the way in the 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.519 gar that wasn't that wasn't written till 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.920 400 years after the time of the New 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:06.079 Covenant and it's only in one place in 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.240 other words the the the textual support 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.199 that that even happened is pretty weak 00:17:11.199 --> 00:17:14.480 now that doesn't have to bother us uh 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.480 because it's talking about lighting the 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.959 manora in the temple and that's got 00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:20.439 hundreds of references to the whole 00:17:20.439 --> 00:17:22.160 Bible so we we believe in the 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.880 restoration we believe in the meaning of 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.280 the in the 00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:31.200 temple whether the kanuk the Min is the 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.559 Seven Candle the kukia is the eight and 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:34.480 the 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.120 nine candled one and that the reason why 00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:39.919 there's eight days to kanuka is because 00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:43.440 it's sukot huh did you know that kanuka 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.000 was sukot kanuka was got when the temple 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.160 was in the and the Tabernacle was 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.720 dedicated was an 8-day ceremony from the 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.840 eight days that's according to the8 days 00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:57.080 of of sukot that's when it was dedicated 00:17:57.080 --> 00:17:58.919 now when they when they conquered 00:17:58.919 --> 00:18:00.039 according the story when they conquered 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.400 the temple it was already past the time 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.520 so they took another 8 days in Kev to to 00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:09.520 uh to cleanse the temple and to and and 00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:11.840 so they had to take another eight days 00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:13.240 um and Define it and it wasn't they 00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.120 didn't have oil they didn't have oil 00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:17.000 that was sealed by the priest it wasn't 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.720 there wasn't any oil in the city they 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.200 didn't have they didn't have oil with 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.679 Aim so it wasn't it wasn't pure from 00:18:25.679 --> 00:18:27.559 from the from the temple Viewpoint so 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.480 anyway that story did it really happen I 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:33.799 could see yes or no it could be a later 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.200 invention to kind of compete with 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.919 Christmas I don't know whatever it is it 00:18:37.919 --> 00:18:39.520 but in any case it doesn't matter why do 00:18:39.520 --> 00:18:41.600 I say it doesn't matter because we we 00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:44.880 believe in the spiritual meaning of the 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:49.360 of the manur that this baby is the light 00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:52.039 and then he comes to light the manur and 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.280 we see that in Revelation chap 1 big 00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:57.799 surprise it says it's clear no mystery 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.840 it says clear the manora is the Ecclesia 00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:03.080 the manora in the temple is a symbol of 00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:05.360 the Ecclesia this the branches are the 00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:07.960 different people groups and it's being 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.840 lit by the high priest the high priest 00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:12.320 is the is is Yeshua he lights a 00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:14.280 different people in congregations and 00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:16.679 people of Faith all around the world he 00:19:16.679 --> 00:19:18.360 brings the light into the world and then 00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:21.280 he lights us up so that we become 00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:23.720 together Jews and people from all the 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.840 nations that believe in him we become a 00:19:26.840 --> 00:19:30.400 living minora of the light of God 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.280 hallelujah so that's what we're we're 00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:34.559 here to do now the 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.559 mccabes and let's go back to that story 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.440 macbes was basically 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:46.400 uh um a group of ultra Orthodox Jews who 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.039 conquered uh the Greeks the Greek Empire 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.120 at that time and reconquered the Temple 00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:57.360 Mount Hallelujah let's eat donuts you 00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:59.799 know to celebrate but 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.159 um listen the political implications of 00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:09.159 this holiday in our generation 00:20:09.159 --> 00:20:13.200 are pretty crazy I mean do we believe in 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.760 that do we believe do we want a group of 00:20:15.760 --> 00:20:18.280 ultra Orthodox Jews going now and taking 00:20:18.280 --> 00:20:21.559 an army and burning down the eloa mosque 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.240 and and and taking a building up a 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:24.960 temple and doing that well at some point 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.880 that's going to happen but I don't know 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.880 that that's what we're going to say well 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.320 we want that to happen right now I mean 00:20:29.320 --> 00:20:30.440 that could that could cause a lot of 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.440 problems I'm saying that's basically 00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:36.400 what they did so but then after they set 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.080 that up they like they became a corrupt 00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:41.600 priesthood in the government themselves 00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:44.000 and they had to be destroyed but what I 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.039 realized and that's why it the in the 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:48.840 new in the New Covenant it recognizes in 00:20:48.840 --> 00:20:50.360 John 10 recognizes that this was a 00:20:50.360 --> 00:20:52.919 holiday it doesn't it doesn't criticize 00:20:52.919 --> 00:20:55.360 it but doesn't really bless it it's just 00:20:55.360 --> 00:20:57.200 this is something that happened there in 00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:58.679 other words I interpret that to mean 00:20:58.679 --> 00:21:00.000 were good things and bad things that 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.720 happened in that 200-year period of the 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.240 mcabe story now here's something else 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.640 now this is my interpretation of it that 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:11.080 had to happen the story of the mccabes 00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:12.880 had to happen before you get to the 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.600 birth of Yeshua why the mabes were a 00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:19.080 Messianic movement not not in the sense 00:21:19.080 --> 00:21:21.520 that we mean Messianic Messianic in the 00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:25.039 in the terms of ultra Orthodox militant 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.159 conquer kill the Romans kill the kill 00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:30.400 the kill the Greeks up the temple have a 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.400 halic state you know and and that had to 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.679 happen because God is preparing the 00:21:35.679 --> 00:21:37.159 people for the coming of the Messiah 00:21:37.159 --> 00:21:40.559 Yeshua so intuitively to every person 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.799 there's an expectation of the Messiah 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.000 coming now because because we understand 00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.159 that the Messiah had to come first as a 00:21:48.159 --> 00:21:52.039 baby and to suffer the the the 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.799 expectations of the coming of the 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.600 Messiah was correct the expectation that 00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:58.600 he would be a conqueror and set up the 00:21:58.600 --> 00:21:59.880 Kingdom by driving out the Greeks and 00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.279 Romans at that time was wrong but it had 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.880 to happen because the people wouldn't 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.080 have been ready for the king to come so 00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:09.320 it built the faith of the expectation of 00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:11.440 the Messiah am I going too fast you're 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.760 with it built the expectations of the 00:22:13.760 --> 00:22:16.520 coming of the Messiah in a good way but 00:22:16.520 --> 00:22:20.200 it also let to led to a conflict that 00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:23.080 the people were were such a high level 00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:25.039 of expecting a 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.880 militant uh Messiah at that time that 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:29.640 Yeshua coming on dying on the cross was 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.240 a scandal to them so they but so it had 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.919 to happen yet it was also doomed to half 00:22:35.919 --> 00:22:37.840 of a failure half success and half 00:22:37.840 --> 00:22:41.720 failure I was thinking about 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.919 that I think 00:22:44.919 --> 00:22:49.080 that kind of a makabe generation has to 00:22:49.080 --> 00:22:52.039 happen again in the generation before 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.559 Yeshua coming the second time because 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.600 the ex the the expectations of the 00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:59.000 coming of the Messianic Kingdom have to 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.720 be built up both in Israel and around 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:02.440 the world again in other words this 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.559 holiday is having a meaning not just uh 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:10.039 of 2,200 years ago but now it's starting 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.320 to have meaning now in our country 00:23:12.320 --> 00:23:14.360 because for and it's going to cause a 00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:16.320 problem it's good and bad but it's 00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:19.240 unavoidable there has to be a movement 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.760 of building up expectations in our 00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:23.520 country and in the rest of the nations 00:23:23.520 --> 00:23:24.880 of the world for Yeshua to be able to 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.320 come back he comes back to a Messianic 00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:32.279 apocalyptic expectations now the funny 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.679 thing is this time he's not coming back 00:23:34.679 --> 00:23:36.919 to disappoint he is coming back to 00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:39.400 conquer he's not coming as a baby he's 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.159 coming back as a conquering King from 00:23:41.159 --> 00:23:43.080 the heaven it's almost like what the 00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:44.799 macbes were sort of wishing that would 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.720 happen the lion of the tribe of Judah is 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:48.000 going to come and that's what they 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.159 wanted to happen 2,000 years ago and it 00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:52.080 didn't happen and they were freaked out 00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:53.880 was this a baby you know is that a 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.679 crucified baby come on what this isn't 00:23:56.679 --> 00:23:59.120 what we were expecting but now 00:23:59.120 --> 00:24:00.559 he's going to come back and it will be a 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.039 conquering King now here there's of 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.159 course also for our people there's going 00:24:06.159 --> 00:24:07.799 to be a 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.200 huge disappointment frustration surprise 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.240 because when he comes it's going to be 00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.880 issue I mean what what what who was 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.760 expecting that to happen but the Bible 00:24:18.760 --> 00:24:20.640 says when he come it says that the that 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.240 the tribe of Judah will be fighting for 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.960 Jerusalem fighting for God being heroic 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:26.720 amazing and then and then when he's 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.240 going to come and he's say what you're 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.880 the one we pierced and there's going to 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.640 be this incredible contrast and this 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.600 time fighting with Yeshua and then 00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:38.960 surpris that it is Yeshua amazing story 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.120 so we're doing a kind of makabe 2.0 you 00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:44.240 know it's coming in so there'll be 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.679 tremendous um positive buildup but then 00:24:48.679 --> 00:24:51.600 also a total surprise when Yeshua comes 00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:53.279 back now it's going to be a surprise 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.399 also for the Christian world who are 00:24:55.399 --> 00:24:57.320 still stuck back there 2,000 years ago 00:24:57.320 --> 00:24:59.039 with that little baby in the m you know 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.840 that's not going to happen it's not 00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:01.840 going to happen he's not going to come 00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:03.760 back that way so everybody's going to 00:25:03.760 --> 00:25:05.159 surprised we're all going to be wrong 00:25:05.159 --> 00:25:07.720 you know but but but God is moving us 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.880 toward this event for the Messianic 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:12.480 Kingdom to 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.200 come and now what's 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.679 happened over this past 14 months since 00:25:18.679 --> 00:25:21.159 since October 7th last year you know we 00:25:21.159 --> 00:25:23.080 went through that one week of horrible 00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:25.480 really one day of horribly being 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.120 slaughtered by by Kamas but really after 00:25:28.120 --> 00:25:31.600 that day our army has been unbelievable 00:25:31.600 --> 00:25:33.120 I mean just victory after Victory after 00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:35.279 Victory after Victory after Victory 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.399 after all this time we get to it 15 00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:42.600 months later you know a week before 00:25:42.600 --> 00:25:44.480 kanuka and a week before 00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.120 Christmas 00:25:46.120 --> 00:25:50.240 and everybody's gone Hamas is gone kbal 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.760 is gone Assad is gone Iran has been 00:25:52.760 --> 00:25:54.840 destroyed the H well they get on the two 00:25:54.840 --> 00:25:56.880 days they'll get wiped out but they I 00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:01.240 mean it's oh like Hey we're standing on 00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.520 our feet and the rest of the world is 00:26:03.520 --> 00:26:06.080 capping Israel has become in this one 00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:10.360 year the single superpower of the Middle 00:26:10.360 --> 00:26:13.440 East this is shocking fact our people 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.279 haven't even gotten it yet we're like 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.600 wait a minute what's happening you know 00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:18.440 what what's what's going on here we 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:20.679 don't we we don't we don't even know how 00:26:20.679 --> 00:26:23.000 to deal with it yet we don't know how to 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.799 deal with the fact that we are the 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.520 superpower of the Middle 00:26:26.520 --> 00:26:28.640 East you know I mean we're getting the 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:30.000 point that the United States wants to 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.000 attack somebody here they got to come 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.039 and ask us how to do it I'm not being 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.840 sarcastic about that but I'm saying is 00:26:34.840 --> 00:26:37.320 that it's something Supernatural 00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:39.240 biblical because God was saying in the 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.600 end times I'm going to make Israel so 00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:43.320 strong that all the rest of the world is 00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:45.480 going to look at him and say well this 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.120 must be God this must be God it's going 00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:50.200 on and God is doing that now another 00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.120 thing that happened during this is 00:26:53.120 --> 00:26:55.279 that the 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.960 ideology of a of classic secular Zionist 00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.559 loving you know kutnik people their 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.159 motivation has been going down and 00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:06.640 what's been happening is little by 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.159 little the the 00:27:10.159 --> 00:27:13.120 Umi the nationalistic religious are 00:27:13.120 --> 00:27:15.240 becoming more into the front line of the 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.640 army along with another group of people 00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:21.000 who are the messianics the messianics 00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.760 and the because we have an ideology to 00:27:23.760 --> 00:27:25.760 to have faith to be able to to keep 00:27:25.760 --> 00:27:27.760 fighting and to and and to win this 00:27:27.760 --> 00:27:29.640 thing and this is and what's happening 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.799 now is this group has risen up now the 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.480 blessing on the messianics has been that 00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:37.080 not only they fighting in the front line 00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:39.679 almost nobody's gotten killed we've had 00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:41.640 one or two instances and one or two in 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.159 of people but the the numbers the the 00:27:44.159 --> 00:27:46.679 It's Supernatural God's protection on 00:27:46.679 --> 00:27:49.880 our children has been amazing totally 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:51.960 Supernatural and among the ultra and 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:53.559 among the the 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:55.600 nationalistic uh 00:27:55.600 --> 00:27:57.559 religious the number of people that have 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.039 been killed and injured is 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.000 proportionally percentage wise you know 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.919 I don't know five six seven times the 00:28:04.919 --> 00:28:06.240 rest of the population because they're 00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.000 the one fighting there the only one 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:10.480 fighting now at really the highest level 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.240 of motivation because it's too difficult 00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:14.720 now you need some kind of spiritual 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:17.440 Faith to stand against all the evil and 00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.519 so it and this is coming forward so the 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.440 messianics are in that and but people 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.039 don't know about us but then the the 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:25.200 National Religious it's kind of like the 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.919 makabe story is arising and so the 00:28:27.919 --> 00:28:29.679 people people that believe in this type 00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:33.159 of makabe story are saying yeah it's 00:28:33.159 --> 00:28:35.360 happening we're and we are we are the 00:28:35.360 --> 00:28:38.279 new mcabe the whole the whole of course 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:40.600 I'm oversimplifying but but it's much 00:28:40.600 --> 00:28:42.279 more complex than that but basically 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:44.760 speaking the Nationalist the Dau me the 00:28:44.760 --> 00:28:46.760 National Religious see themselves as the 00:28:46.760 --> 00:28:48.960 they are the new mabes we're coming 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.279 forward and the people that used to see 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.080 them the mabes themselves as the mabes 00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:57.440 up until 2 3 years ago which was the the 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:01.039 basically the secular leftwing Army who 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.559 have incredible bravery they're they're 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.039 feeling disenfranchised from that I me 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:07.240 even at the point of saying we're 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:08.360 wondering maybe we shouldn't even 00:29:08.360 --> 00:29:10.399 celebrate Kano this is they're seeing 00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:12.399 the political implications of it it's 00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:15.799 incredible so here we have this now just 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.840 want to make uh we'll get to a moment 00:29:17.840 --> 00:29:19.399 when we say walking through the darkness 00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:22.679 let's look at that and all right now 00:29:22.679 --> 00:29:25.919 this uh child is born to us God brings 00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:29.240 his light into the world and this child 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.360 is the center of 00:29:31.360 --> 00:29:34.480 everything he is the he's from even he's 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.760 he was the center of God speaking and 00:29:37.760 --> 00:29:40.080 saying let there be light now if you 00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:42.679 follow this story particularly in the 00:29:42.679 --> 00:29:45.080 book of Isaiah it's so beautiful well 00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:46.200 we're not going to study the whole thing 00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:47.440 but let me just give you kind of a 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.320 snapshot of it so this 00:29:50.320 --> 00:29:54.080 baby carries the light and he is the one 00:29:54.080 --> 00:29:55.519 who will be the Messianic King with the 00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:56.799 government on 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.880 him all right right what kind of 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.399 government well it says in Isaiah 2 it 00:30:04.399 --> 00:30:06.159 says that all the nations there will be 00:30:06.159 --> 00:30:08.399 peace and prosperity in all the nations 00:30:08.399 --> 00:30:10.600 Jerusalem will be the capital city all 00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:12.720 the nations will have ambassadors coming 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.440 up to Jerusalem and will come up to 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.760 worship and there'll be one one 00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:20.159 beautiful K Kingdom of world peace on 00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:21.399 the whole world and there will be the 00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:23.440 king over that in 00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.399 Jerusalem that's this child the king 00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:29.120 that's in Isaiah 2 ruling the world is 00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:31.760 also the child that was born here 00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:33.919 in Isaiah 00:30:33.919 --> 00:30:38.200 9 now it's pretty a supernatural Kingdom 00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:39.399 how's there going to be peace over the 00:30:39.399 --> 00:30:42.480 whole earth well the Bible shows us 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.799 there in chapter six that this King when 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:47.399 he grows up is going to be filled with 00:30:47.399 --> 00:30:49.200 light he's going to be super proun he's 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.120 been resurrected from the dead he's 00:30:51.120 --> 00:30:53.480 going to be shining with light how is 00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.480 there going to be a king that's going to 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.320 rule over the whole world if he isn't 00:30:56.320 --> 00:30:58.519 filled with the power and glory of God 00:30:58.519 --> 00:31:00.360 so Isaiah 2 says there will be a kingdom 00:31:00.360 --> 00:31:01.720 of peace all over the world with the 00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:04.200 king in Jerusalem Isaiah 6 says he's 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:06.240 going to be resurrected from the dead 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.279 and glorified and and and Isaiah 9 here 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:12.120 says that he would be born as a 00:31:12.120 --> 00:31:15.200 child into the world well none of this 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.919 is a child of course but two chapters 00:31:18.919 --> 00:31:20.519 before that Isaiah 7 says he's going to 00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:22.159 be born of a 00:31:22.159 --> 00:31:24.360 virgin now our people want to say that 00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:26.639 it's not true listen all the Orthodox 00:31:26.639 --> 00:31:30.840 Jews you ever notice no that all of our 00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:32.559 what what's it what's the word for 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:35.960 matriarchs all of our matriarch Sarah 00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:39.440 Rifka Rachel were all 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:43.200 Baron as well as who else was Baron Kan 00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:47.120 the mother of of of S Shimon and then 00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:49.679 you have uh Elizabeth the mother of the 00:31:49.679 --> 00:31:53.159 mother of John all six people well now I 00:31:53.159 --> 00:31:54.799 didn't say this the rabbis say this now 00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:56.919 they actually exaggerate this they said 00:31:56.919 --> 00:31:59.080 well why are why were why were all the 00:31:59.080 --> 00:32:03.080 mothers a a kot why were they Barren and 00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:05.559 why did that the way because God wanted 00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.919 their the birth to be Supernatural they 00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:10.720 say that not me they say all the 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.279 forefathers were born supernaturally it 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.480 was a miracle that they that the 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.480 children were born there in fact they 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.519 even say that really it was born that 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.600 way because the children Abraham Isaac 00:32:22.600 --> 00:32:24.440 and Jacob and Joseph and Judah were 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:28.039 really born without the effects of the 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.080 fall of Adam and Eve because it was a 00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:33.159 supernatural event now I don't think 00:32:33.159 --> 00:32:34.880 that's true because you'd have to be a 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.279 total virgin to not have that effect but 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.320 that's the exact s that's the correct 00:32:39.320 --> 00:32:41.320 thinking why were all these people in 00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:43.039 because God has and I would I would 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:44.600 correct it to say this it's not that 00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:47.000 they overcame the power original sin but 00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:49.000 they were born out of a promise they 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.639 were born miraculously of a promise and 00:32:51.639 --> 00:32:54.760 that Covenant promise then led the way 00:32:54.760 --> 00:32:58.559 for the full virgin Miriam to be born 00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:00.760 and and this is a hope and we've talked 00:33:00.760 --> 00:33:04.000 about this of seeing uh Miriam we talked 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.399 about that last week of Miriam as being 00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:11.320 the ultimate Ultra Orthodox 00:33:11.320 --> 00:33:14.639 girl I mean because what you know why 00:33:14.639 --> 00:33:16.120 are all these Orthodox girls having so 00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:18.679 many kids because they're 00:33:18.679 --> 00:33:23.120 thinking maybe my child maybe my child 00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:25.799 maybe my child will be the Messiah so if 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.519 I can have 200 kids then I have greater 00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.320 odds of it being the Messiah I'm but but 00:33:31.320 --> 00:33:33.480 the point is they are they are looking 00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:35.919 to keep themselves pure and holy and 00:33:35.919 --> 00:33:37.480 bear children because they're believing 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.080 that the Messiah will come out of this 00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:41.559 generation and and Miriam was the 00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.480 ultimate Orthodox Jewish girl holding 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.840 herself pure believing for the Messiah 00:33:46.840 --> 00:33:49.159 to come now of course it was way above 00:33:49.159 --> 00:33:51.679 what she was expecting but still look at 00:33:51.679 --> 00:33:54.039 this is I mean Christmas the birth of 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:56.039 the Messiah should be the most Jewish 00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:58.320 holiday in the world I mean is if you 00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:00.600 talk about Jewish Jewish Jewish the 00:34:00.600 --> 00:34:02.559 Jewish King the son of David was born 00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.399 into this world by an Orthodox Jewish 00:34:04.399 --> 00:34:07.039 girl who M maintained herself pure to 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.399 give birth to Messiah so that God could 00:34:09.399 --> 00:34:11.520 bring a savior to all the rest of the 00:34:11.520 --> 00:34:14.200 Nations I mean this is come on this to 00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:16.679 is almost 00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:22.280 racist anyway so then it goes on of 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.040 course and then he says uh that when 00:34:25.040 --> 00:34:27.560 this kingdom is about to come that all 00:34:27.560 --> 00:34:29.240 the the Nations will attack it to stop 00:34:29.240 --> 00:34:31.480 the kingdom but they will miss it that's 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.440 the story of Isaiah 29 and what's called 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:35.079 the Ariel they will come and attack and 00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:36.399 it'll be like a dream and they will miss 00:34:36.399 --> 00:34:38.359 it and not only that when they come to 00:34:38.359 --> 00:34:40.440 attack the Messiah will come as the 00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:41.879 angel of the Lord and kill all the 00:34:41.879 --> 00:34:44.280 armies that come that's Isaiah 37 and 00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:45.760 then he will come to set up his kingdom 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.200 on it's all there in Isaiah amazing 00:34:49.200 --> 00:34:51.839 except for one thing which our people 00:34:51.839 --> 00:34:55.480 want to skip over to bring this Kingdom 00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.079 he's not only got to be pure himself 00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:58.359 he's got to make the M the rest of the 00:34:58.359 --> 00:35:01.000 people in the world pure and we're not 00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.200 pure we're sinful and we deserve death 00:35:04.200 --> 00:35:06.440 and judgment and so the only way this 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.680 person this child who has the light of 00:35:08.680 --> 00:35:10.680 God can be the king to rule over the 00:35:10.680 --> 00:35:12.920 world is do something to get us out of 00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:14.839 sin and death how is he going to have an 00:35:14.839 --> 00:35:16.440 eternal Kingdom when we're all dying 00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.240 hello how's he going to have a pure 00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:20.280 Kingdom when we're all in sin he's got 00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.240 to figure out a way to make us pure and 00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:24.480 there's only one way to do that is to 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.079 take our sin upon himself Isaiah 53 so 00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.920 that then he could purify us to do that 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.119 and that way he does he does several 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:35.839 things he he takes our sin upon us to 00:35:35.839 --> 00:35:38.520 set us free he demonstrates to us what 00:35:38.520 --> 00:35:41.079 is the light of God which is sacrificial 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:43.119 love to love other people and he proves 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.640 that he is the one worthy to be the 00:35:45.640 --> 00:35:48.280 king Yeshua was crucified and said this 00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:50.800 is the king of the Jews and said well I 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.560 don't know but then he rose from the 00:35:53.560 --> 00:35:56.680 dead proof maybe you didn't believe that 00:35:56.680 --> 00:35:58.960 sign over his head when he was crucified 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:00.400 that this is the king of the Jews but 00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.440 when he rose from the dead it's kind of 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.280 hard to say I don't know what else you 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:09.079 got to do you know look it the the the 00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.000 the C the crucifixion was the 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.920 Declaration of Yeshua being the king and 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:15.920 him changing getting us out of sin so we 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.280 could be in his kingdom and the 00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:18.720 resurrection was the proof that this is 00:36:18.720 --> 00:36:22.920 the guy hey maybe it's somebody else 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:24.800 except to be somebody else you got to 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.200 die and be raised from the dead to see 00:36:26.200 --> 00:36:28.200 that happen I haven't seen that happen 00:36:28.200 --> 00:36:31.680 yet with anybody 00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:34.720 else all right so that's the story in 00:36:34.720 --> 00:36:36.599 Isaiah let's look at the last point in 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:38.839 Isaiah uh and that 00:36:38.839 --> 00:36:41.800 is uh which has been our theme verse for 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:45.480 this year really is Isaiah 60 veres 1 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:48.960 through3 we'll end with 00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:54.839 this watch the word watch the play on 00:36:54.839 --> 00:36:56.240 Darkness and Light again here it's 00:36:56.240 --> 00:36:59.319 amazing from is one created light 00:36:59.319 --> 00:37:03.319 Darkness the light overcomes the 00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.640 darkness arise and shine it really says 00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:08.480 shine with light 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.359 there your light has 00:37:11.359 --> 00:37:13.400 come and for the glory of the Lord has 00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.160 sh shown upon 00:37:15.160 --> 00:37:17.599 you behold the 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.599 darkness has covered the 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:24.680 Earth and and fog the 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:29.040 Nations but upon you the glory of the 00:37:29.040 --> 00:37:31.920 Lord will shine and uh the light will 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.319 shine and His glory will be seen upon 00:37:34.319 --> 00:37:38.599 you there and you skip over a little 00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:44.200 bit and it says and Kings will come to 00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:47.200 your light uh Nations will come to your 00:37:47.200 --> 00:37:51.040 KN light and Kings to your shining Glory 00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:54.000 now here we see that that all these 00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:56.040 themes come come together the light in 00:37:56.040 --> 00:37:58.800 the Darkness Darkness covering the whole 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.520 Earth but then there will be a people 00:38:01.520 --> 00:38:03.359 who have the light of God in them 00:38:03.359 --> 00:38:06.280 against Great odds numerically then the 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:07.839 darkness is bigger but the light is 00:38:07.839 --> 00:38:10.319 stronger so we have to rise and shine 00:38:10.319 --> 00:38:11.800 with light we become the manora we 00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:14.200 become the kukia we become the extension 00:38:14.200 --> 00:38:15.640 of the Child of Light it's both 00:38:15.640 --> 00:38:17.720 Christmas and kanuka coming together 00:38:17.720 --> 00:38:20.960 into the end times apocalyptic version 00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.960 of the merging of Christmas and kanuka 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:26.520 coming to this is a rise and shine he's 00:38:26.520 --> 00:38:29.560 saying here is that in the end times the 00:38:29.560 --> 00:38:32.119 the the great majority will be huge 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:36.040 darkness and fog but in that midst will 00:38:36.040 --> 00:38:38.200 be a people in every nation that need to 00:38:38.200 --> 00:38:40.960 arise and shine they will be the living 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.319 manora and their light will then come 00:38:43.319 --> 00:38:47.160 and push back the darkness As we sing in 00:38:47.160 --> 00:38:49.119 uh 00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.160 in we have come to as the light to drive 00:38:52.160 --> 00:38:56.079 out the darkness just I mean I so wish 00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:57.319 the Christians could see this part of 00:38:57.319 --> 00:38:58.560 the driving out the darkness and the 00:38:58.560 --> 00:39:00.280 Jews could see the part of it theu is 00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.480 where the light comes fromo they're I'll 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:04.560 get it pretty soon Hallelujah and then 00:39:04.560 --> 00:39:07.200 we'll have that Victory um so we're 00:39:07.200 --> 00:39:10.400 walking in this I see the darkness as 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.040 being evil and the and the cloud as 00:39:13.040 --> 00:39:15.400 being confusion I interpret that you 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.480 know if there but the the the darkness I 00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:20.960 think is the the the violent spirit in 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.680 in Islam and communist dictatorships and 00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:28.400 the confusion is the the modern academic 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:32.200 news fake you know lies that's causing 00:39:32.200 --> 00:39:34.280 confusion so you got darkness which is 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.480 evil and violence you got fog which is 00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.000 confusion but our light has to shine 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.640 within us to push back both the evil and 00:39:42.640 --> 00:39:45.640 the confusion so this world can shine 00:39:45.640 --> 00:39:47.359 and we and that's what we want to 00:39:47.359 --> 00:39:49.440 believe for this year couple comments 00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.119 and we'll close one is that for each of 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.359 us individually it's great to read this 00:39:54.359 --> 00:39:56.640 in the Bible but we have to all walk 00:39:56.640 --> 00:39:59.000 this out in our individual lives as a 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:01.000 nation as all the eclesia but each one 00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:02.960 of us individually you got to walk this 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.560 out oh what a beautiful 00:40:07.640 --> 00:40:10.680 verse oh it sounds so nice no you're 00:40:10.680 --> 00:40:13.520 talking about living in a world of evil 00:40:13.520 --> 00:40:16.520 and darkness and you got to stand up by 00:40:16.520 --> 00:40:18.520 faith and let your light shine in the 00:40:18.520 --> 00:40:20.880 dark I mean this is terrifyingly 00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.839 demanding Faith to stand up and do that 00:40:23.839 --> 00:40:25.800 but we but we have to do that and what 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.880 you know it's like psalm 23 it 00:40:30.040 --> 00:40:32.040 says even if I have to walk through the 00:40:32.040 --> 00:40:34.560 valley of the shadow of death will fear 00:40:34.560 --> 00:40:36.960 no evil and what I say to a lot of 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.160 people listen it doesn't say when you 00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:41.359 get stuck in the Valley of the shadow of 00:40:41.359 --> 00:40:44.079 death it says when you walk through it 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.319 and I've learned this year no matter 00:40:46.319 --> 00:40:48.560 what happens just put the next foot in 00:40:48.560 --> 00:40:50.000 front of your foot and then put the next 00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.560 foot just keep going when you feel 00:40:53.560 --> 00:40:56.280 Darkness all over you and depression and 00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.359 fear and 00:40:58.359 --> 00:41:01.200 oosh with a Despair and it just like and 00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:03.160 you can't go on just take one more step 00:41:03.160 --> 00:41:06.280 just keep going just don't stop in if 00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.800 you stop in the middle of the valley of 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.920 death and sit down you're going to 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:13.000 you're going to succumb to Darkness just 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.599 keep going keep going and all of a 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:19.280 sudden you'll end up in Green Pastures 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:21.680 and pure Waters and it'll happen faster 00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:23.160 than you think but this just the way God 00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:25.480 does it the the the pathways of 00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:27.599 righteousness always go through the Val 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:29.520 the shadow of death but just keep 00:41:29.520 --> 00:41:30.800 walking so I'm telling you folks 00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:32.640 whatever you're going through right now 00:41:32.640 --> 00:41:34.920 just take another step and then another 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:37.079 step after that and don't worry about 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:39.079 that just take another step God will 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:40.880 take care of you and he'll let the light 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.240 shine so we come out of this two more 00:41:44.240 --> 00:41:47.079 quick comments one is that we work we 00:41:47.079 --> 00:41:48.240 have to walk through the valley of 00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:50.200 shadow of death we're coming out at the 00:41:50.200 --> 00:41:51.960 end of this year that just seem to be 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.520 disaster disaster and disaster we come 00:41:54.520 --> 00:41:56.359 to the end of the year the only 00:41:56.359 --> 00:41:59.079 superpower in the Middle East what 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.560 happened this was God this was God 00:42:02.560 --> 00:42:04.520 giving a miraculous sign to all of the 00:42:04.520 --> 00:42:06.359 Nations the world now the Nations ruling 00:42:06.359 --> 00:42:07.680 may not like 00:42:07.680 --> 00:42:10.880 it but they can't help seeing it you 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.839 know

standing on 00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:33.319 the front lines of the Beast powers and 00:43:33.319 --> 00:43:35.480 then like I said for for Europe we 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:36.760 prayed early and we'll end with it we 00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:38.720 just is having this think about this 00:43:38.720 --> 00:43:40.800 terrorist attack it was on this 00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:41.880 Christmas 00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.160 Market packed full of people I don't 00:43:44.160 --> 00:43:46.119 know if you saw the pictures of in in 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:48.720 Eastern Eastern Germany I talked to some 00:43:48.720 --> 00:43:50.640 friends there they said look it wasn't 00:43:50.640 --> 00:43:52.480 like there was a gospel story going on 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.720 in this market you know it was it was 00:43:54.720 --> 00:43:57.359 European Christian culture you know cook 00:43:57.359 --> 00:44:00.040 and songs and and you know selling stuff 00:44:00.040 --> 00:44:01.680 and it was a commercial event but it was 00:44:01.680 --> 00:44:03.440 still Christian it was still Christian 00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:06.240 culture it was not a coincidence that's 00:44:06.240 --> 00:44:08.400 that where that attack went the attack 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.520 was against Christian symbolism because 00:44:10.520 --> 00:44:12.520 they're saying we are going to destroy 00:44:12.520 --> 00:44:15.520 Europe in Europe we have to pray fast 00:44:15.520 --> 00:44:19.200 and hard because Europe is one step away 00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:22.640 from bending its knee to to Islamic 00:44:22.640 --> 00:44:24.960 jihadism and and and they have to wake 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.720 up to it but I want to believe that that 00:44:27.720 --> 00:44:30.599 this attack is is it's going to cause 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:32.920 people to wake up you know sometimes bad 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.440 events are wakeup calls okay it talked 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:36.520 for a long time but there was
