Caption transcript for The Gospel According to Isaiah: “Jesus’ Rejection” (2/8)

• 00:12 HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN.
• 00:18 WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS AND BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES.
• 00:25 HE IS BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER.
• 00:29 WRITTEN 700 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST, ISAIAH KNEW THAT THIS PROPHETIC SCRIPTURE
• 00:34 WOULD ONE DAY BE FULFILLED IN THE LAMB OF GOD, JESUS.
• 00:47 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN. I'M SANDRA LEVITT.
• 00:49 I'M HERE WITH JEFF SEIF AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ISAIAH.
• 00:52 WHAT A MIGHTY, MIGHTY MAN, WHAT A MIGHTY PROPHET ISAIAH WAS.
• 00:56 INCREDIBLE INSIGHTS, TOO, SANDRA.
• 00:58 IT WAS ISAIAH WHO PROPHESIED THAT THE MESSIAH
• 01:00 WAS GOING TO BE DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN.
• 01:04 YOU CAN IMAGINE, GOD WOULD COME INTO THE WORLD
• 01:06 ONLY TO BE REJECTED THEREIN BY INDIVIDUALS
• 01:10 DRIVEN BY FORCES THEY COULDN'T CONTROL.
• 01:14 I BELIEVE THAT A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSANDS WORDS.
• 01:17 WE'LL GET TO ISAIAH'S WORDS IN A MINUTE,
• 01:19 BUT NOW LET'S LOOK AT A PICTURE OF JESUS AND HIS REJECTION.
• 01:24 AND WHEN THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES SAW HIM EAT WITH PUBLICANS AND SINNERS,
• 01:29 THEY SAID, HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS EATING WITH PUBLICANS AND SINNERS.
• 01:32 WHY ARE THERE BLASPHEMIES?
• 01:34 WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS, BUT GOD ALONE?
• 01:37 WHY DO YOU ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL
• 01:40 AND THE PHARISEES WENT FORTH AND STRAIGHT AWAY TOOK COUNSEL WITH THE HERODIANS AGAINST HIM,
• 01:46 HOW THEY MIGHT DESTROY HIM.
• 01:50 TODAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THE SECOND
• 01:53 OF AN 8 PART TREATMENT OF A STORY,
• 01:55 THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE.
• 02:01 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GOSPEL.
• 02:03 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GOSPEL FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 02:07 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GOOD NEWS THROUGH THE EYES OF JEWS.
• 02:11 WE'RE LOOKING AT ONE JEWISH PROPHET IN PARTICULAR, HIS NAME WAS ISAIAH,
• 02:16 HIMSELF ARGUABLY THE GREATEST OF THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS.
• 02:22 THIS MAN WHO LIVED AND MINISTERED IN THE 8TH CENTURY BC, AS YOU WILL SEE,
• 02:27 HAD A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE COMING MESSIAH.
• 02:32 TODAY WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT SOME OF WHAT HEHAD TO SAY,
• 02:35 BROADCASTING HERE FROM THIS HASMONIAN VILLAGE THAT DATES BACK TO THE 2ND CENTURY B.C.
• 02:43 STANDING IN FRONT OF A SYNAGOGUE, AN OLD SYNAGOGUE OF THE SORT THAT JESUS FREQUENTED,
• 02:49 OF THE SORT THAT HIS DISCIPLES BEING JEWISH THEMSELVES FREQUENTED
• 02:54 AND YOU MIGHT RECALL THERE WAS A FELLOW NAMED PAUL, A MEMBER OF THE PHARISEES.
• 03:02 THIS MAN CAME TO FAITH IN JESUS
• 03:05 AND THEN HE WENT ALL ABOUT THE GRECO-ROMAN WORLD ENTERING BUILDING LIKE THIS.
• 03:11 JEWISH PEOPLE REFER TO A SYNAGOGUE AS A SHUL, A SCHOOL
• 03:15 AND PAUL HIMSELF WAS AN EDUCATOR MINDED AS HE WAS
• 03:19 TO HELP THE WORLD TO SEE THAT THE MESSIAH HAD COME AND THAT HIS NAME WAS YESHUA, JESUS.
• 03:25 WELL, NEVER MIND WHAT PAUL HAD TO SAY FOR THE MOMENT, AS NOTED,
• 03:29 I'M INTERESTED IN ISAIAH, WHAT DOES THIS 8TH CENTURY PROPHET
• 03:33 HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE COMING MESSIAH.
• 03:36 IN THE 53RD CHAPTER HE MAKES A FEW STATEMENTS THAT ARE INTERESTING,
• 03:42 ONE OF WHICH IS IN HEBREW FIRST.
• 03:55 WHAT MEANS THIS PROPHET IN INFORMING THAT THE MESHIACH
• 03:59 WAS TO BE DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN?
• 04:03 OH, YOU WOULD THINK THE MESSIAH COMES INTO THE WORLD AND HE GETS A TICKER TAPE PARADE.
• 04:07 WHY, IN THE 8TH CENTURY BC ARE WE TOLD THAT THE MESSIAH COMES AND HE IS MARGINALIZED.
• 04:13 PEOPLE ARE MINDED TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM HIM.
• 04:17 YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ONLY THIS VERSE THAT GIVES THAT STORY,
• 04:20 IN THE 52ND CHAPTER, IN VERSE 14
• 04:26 THAT'S VERY STRONG LANGUAGE.
• 04:31 TO LOOK AT HIM WAS PROBLEMATIC,
• 04:35 SO MUCH SO THAT IN VERSE 15 WE'RE TOLD
• 04:41 WHAT MEANS THIS PROPHET IN SAYING THAT THE MESSIAH
• 04:44 WAS GOING TO BE APPALLING, STARTLING, MARRED AND THEN..
• 05:00 NO ONE LIKES TO BE REJECTED.
• 05:04 I DON'T LIKE IT. YOU DON'T LIKE IT. NOBODY LIKES IT.
• 05:10 WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COMING MESSIAH TO CONSIDER THAT HE WAS REJECTED,
• 05:13 I'M SURE HE DIDN'T LIKE IT.
• 05:16 NEVERTHELESS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT WHEN SOMEONE BRINGS GOSPEL TRUTH,
• 05:22 THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS WELL RECEIVED, WHETHER IT'S ME,
• 05:27 WHETHER IT'S YOU, WHETHER IT'S ISAIAH.
• 05:29 THERE ARE HOSTS OF OLD TESTAMENT GREATS THAT HAD THE SAME SITUATION.
• 05:37 YOU MIGHT RECALL THE STORY IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS IN ENGLISH,
• 05:41 YOU MIGHT RECALL IN THE 3RD AND 4TH CHAPTER
• 05:43 HE HAS THE BURNING BUSH EXPERIENCE.
• 05:46 THERE HE IS AND GOD IS BECKONING HIM INTO THE MINISTRY, INTO HIS SERVICE
• 05:50 AND MOSES HAS PROBLEMS, HE SAYS, GOD, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO ME.
• 05:54 THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL WON'T LISTEN TO ME THAT ARE HOLED UP IN EGYPT.
• 05:58 THEY WON'T REALLY HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
• 06:00 AND WHEN I GO TO (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 06:03 WHEN I GO TO PHARAOH, FOR SURE HE'S NOT GOING TO WANT TO HEAR ME OUT.
• 06:07 IN FACT MOSES, HIMSELF BALKED AT THE COMMISSION,
• 06:12 IN PART NOTING THAT OTHERS WERE GOING TO BALK AT HIM.
• 06:16 I FIND THAT INTERESTING.
• 06:18 WE SEE THAT NOT ONLY DID MOSES GET SOMETHING OF A ROUGH START IN MINISTRY GOING,
• 06:23 BUT IF YOU LOOK AT DAVID, NOW TODAY DAVID IS POPULAR.
• 06:27 GOODNESS, IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL WHERE I'M BROADCASTING FROM TODAY,
• 06:31 THE FLAG FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL HAS ON IT THE MOGEN DAVID, THE SHIELD OF DAVID.
• 06:38 DAVID IS THE SYMBOL OF THE NATION STATE.
• 06:41 I REMEMBER GROWING UP AS A LITTLE BOY, WE USED TO SING A SONG..
• 06:50 DAVID WAS IMMORTALIZED, HE IS IMMORTALIZED IN JEWISH CULTURE.
• 06:54 BUT, IF YOU LOOK AT DAVID'S BEGINNINGS, IN 1 SAMUEL 16
• 07:00 WHEN THE PROPHET SAMUEL WENT TO JESSE, DAVID'S FATHER UNDER THE UNCTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 07:08 SAYING, I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A KING IN THE HOUSE.
• 07:11 JESSE'S FATHER SERVED UP ALL OF HIS SONS FIRST.
• 07:15 THE PROPHET SAID, NO NOT THIS ONE, LET'S SEE ANOTHER.
• 07:19 HE BROUGHT ANOTHER, NO, NOT THIS ONE.
• 07:20 DON'T YOU HAVE ANYBODY ELSE?
• 07:22 AND THE PROPHET, HE'S PERPLEXED, I BELIEVE THIS IS THE HOUSE AND WHAT HAPPENS HIS FATHER SAYS,
• 07:28 WELL, LOOK, YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE ONE GUY, A YOUNG GUY,
• 07:31 INTERESTINGLY, DAVID'S FATHER DIDN'T THINK HE WAS WORTHY
• 07:36 TO BE CONSIDERED AS THE LEADER OF ISRAEL.
• 07:39 THEN WE SEE WHEN DAVID GOT STARTED AS YOU FOLLOW THE STORY IN 1 SAMUEL,
• 07:44 WHAT HAPPENS IS DAVID IS NOT ONLY REJECTED BY HIS FATHER, HE WAS REJECTED BY HIS BRETHREN
• 07:49 AND LATER ON WHEN HE ENTERS MORE DIRECTLY IN THE SERVICE OF SAUL, HE'S REJECTED BY SAUL.
• 07:55 WHAT'S WITH THIS REJECTION?
• 07:59 YOU STAND UP, YOU WALK WITH GOD AND BOOM, YOU TAKE IT IN THE FACE SOMETIMES.
• 08:04 WHY IS IT LIKE THAT?
• 08:06 IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY RESOLUTION TO THIS TENSION?
• 08:09 I WANT TO GO INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND TEACH A LITTLE BIT, BUT BEFORE I DO,
• 08:13 I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU FROM ANOTHER PASSAGE IN ISAIAH, THE 45TH CHAPTER.
• 08:18 THEREIN WE'RE TOLD THAT THE LORD HIMSELF IS GOING TO FINALLY BE VINDICATED IN HUMAN EXPERIENCE
• 08:27 AND NOT SUFFER THE REJECTION FOREVER.
• 08:29 WE'RE TOLD IN THE END OF VERSE OF 21 IN 45TH CHAPTER
• 08:37 HE SAYS IN VERSE 22 SOMETHING TO ME AND YOU, HE SAYS..
• 09:01 CONFESS WHAT?
• 09:03 I'M GOING TO GO INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND I'M GOING TO SEE YOU THERE IN THERE IN A MINUTE
• 09:09 AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE HOW THE RABBI PAUL FINISHED THE VERSE
• 09:12 THAT IN THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS
• 09:18 THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
• 09:22 WE'LL DO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.

• 09:59 ISAIAH'S NOTING THAT AT ONE POINT IN TIME
• 10:05 EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW THAT THIS MESSIAH, IS LORD,
• 10:10 IS FURTHER STATED AT THE VERY END OF THE DOCUMENT, IN FACT,
• 10:14 IN THE 66TH CHAPTER OF ISAIAH AND THAT'S WHERE HE ENDS
• 10:34 I THINK IT'S FASCINATING THAT ISAIAH NOTES THAT THE MESHIACH WOULD COME
• 10:39 AND BE DESPISED AND REJECTED AT ONE LEVEL AND LIGHTLY ESTEEMED HOWEVER,
• 10:46 DIFFICULTIES WITH A ROUGH START NOTWITHSTANDING, AT THE END OF DAYS HE WOULD TRIUMPH.
• 10:53 I AM THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE MESSIANIC JEWISH GOSPEL,
• 10:59 TO LOOK AT THE GOOD NEWS FROM THE EYES OF ANCIENT JEWS, ISAIAH PARTICULARLY.
• 11:06 BUT, HERE IN THIS SYNAGOGUE WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO NOW IS PICK UP FROM ANOTHER RABBI,
• 11:10 SOMEONE WHO WAS MINDED TO BE AN INTERPRETER OF ISAIAH, HIS NAME WAS PAUL,
• 11:18 REFERRED TO AFFECTIONATELY AMONGST JEWS AS RAB SHAUL.
• 11:22 THIS WAS A FELLOW WHO WAS HELL-BENT ON DESTROYING
• 11:26 THE FIRST MESSIANIC JEWISH FOLLOWERS OF YESHUA, OF JESUS,
• 11:30 BUT THAN HAD A RADICAL ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD
• 11:34 IN THE WAKE OF WHICH, HE BECAME A STAUNCH ADVOCATE..
• 11:37 HE WAS WRITING A LETTER TO A GROUP IN PHILIPPI.
• 11:42 ACTUALLY PAUL HAD VENTURED INTO PHILIPPI AND HE VISITED A SYNAGOGUE SERVICE
• 11:49 AND THERE HE OPENED UP THE SCRIPTURES, THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES, OF COURSE
• 11:53 AND A NUMBER OF JEWISH PEOPLE CAME TO FAITH.
• 11:55 MAY VERY WELL BE THAT HE OPENED UP ISAIAH,
• 11:58 THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE HE QUOTES ISAIAH, TOO.
• 12:02 YOU MIGHT RECALL OUTSIDE OF THE SYNAGOGUE WE LOOKED AT HOW ISAIAH SAID
• 12:06 THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS.
• 12:11 WELL, PAUL TAKES UP THAT STORY AGAIN IN HIS LETTER
• 12:14 AND I'D LIKE YOU TO TURN WITH ME PLEASE TO PHILIPPIANS 2:5.
• 12:20 LET ME SAY PARENTHETICALLY WHENEVER YOU TURN ON THE TELEVISION
• 12:25 AND COME TO THIS PROGRAM, BRING YOUR BIBLES ALONG WITH YOU,
• 12:27 BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A BIBLE TEACHER.
• 12:29 THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME, TO GET THE WORD OF GOD OUT THERE
• 12:32 FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE, PARTICULARLY.
• 13:06 RETURNING NOW TO ISAIAH CHAPTER 45, LET ME REMIND HE SAYS,
• 13:12 TO ME EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW.
• 13:16 A REFERENCE TO THE WORLD COMING TO TERMS WITH WHO THIS YESHUA, WHO THIS JESUS IS
• 13:21 AND THEN HE SAYS EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS.
• 13:25 THEN HE GOES ON TO NOTE IN VERSE 24
• 13:28 TO HIM ALL MEN SHALL COME.
• 13:33 THE PROPHETS SAY (SPEAKING HEBREW) ALL FLESH.
• 13:37 THE PROPHETS SAYS (SPEAKING HEBREW) ALL PEOPLES.
• 13:42 THERE'S A POINT IN TIME WHEN ALL PEOPLE COME TO KNOW WHO THIS YESHUA IS.
• 13:47 AND SO THEN HE STARTS OFF, HUMBLY, DESPISED AND REJECTED.
• 13:53 AT DAYS END HE GETS HIS DUE DOESN'T HE.
• 13:57 I THINK THAT'S FASCINATING.
• 13:59 THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID THAT HE WHO WAS IN THE FORM OF GOD DIDN'T COUNT EQUALITY WITH GOD,
• 14:05 BUT HE EMPTIED HIMSELF, HE TOOK ON THE FORM OF A SERVANT
• 14:09 AND THEN HE WAS HIGHLY EXALTED AT DAYS' END JUST AS ISAIAH THE PROPHET FORETOLD.
• 14:17 IN THAT WHICH FOLLOWS, WE'LL HEAR ZOLA,
• 14:21 WHO IN DAYS PAST LOOKED AT ISAIAH AND THEREIN, WHILE FOCUSING ON THE 53RD CHAPTER,
• 14:28 TOLD THE STORY OF JESUS' DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION.
• 14:33 HERE'S ZOLA IN HIS OWN WORDS.
• 14:35 ISAIAH SAW HIM AS DYING, HE WAS CUT OFF FROM THE LAND OF THE LIVING IT SAYS IN ISAIAH 53.
• 14:42 IT'S PREDICTED MESSIAH WILL DIE.
• 14:43 THIS IS NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD IN JUDAISM
• 14:46 AND CHRISTIANS THROUGH THE AGES HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THAT MESSIAH CAME TO DIE.
• 14:51 THEY ACCUSE PEOPLE OF KILLING MESSIAH, BUT MESSIAH SAYS "FOR THIS WAS I BORN."
• 14:56 DANIEL 2 SAYS HE WOULD BE CUT OFF.
• 14:59 DANIEL 9:26 IN THE 70 WEEKS OF YEARS PROPHECY IT SAYS
• 15:03 MESSIAH THE PRINCE IS CUT OFF BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF.
• 15:07 ISAIAH MAKES CLEAR FOR THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF MY PEOPLE WAS HE STRICKEN.
• 15:13 IT MAKES A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE PERSON AND THE PEOPLE.
• 15:17 "MY PEOPLE" IS ISRAEL ISAIAH IS TALKING.
• 15:20 HE WAS SOME OTHER PERSON STRICKEN FOR ISRAEL.
• 15:24 SOMETIMES AS AN OBJECTION TO THIS PROPHECY THAT IT'S THE WHOLE LAND OF ISRAEL,
• 15:27 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL THAT ARE MEANT, THAT ARE WOUNDED, THAT TAKE THE STRIPES AND SO ON.
• 15:32 BUT,HE SAYS IT WAS FOR THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE WAS STRICKEN.
• 15:37 THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
• 15:38 IT SAYS THAT HE'LL BE BURIED WITH THE RICH IN HIS DEATH
• 15:41 AND THAT'S ONE OF STRAY REMARKS OF SCRIPTURE THAT MAKES IT SO PRECISE.
• 15:45 JESUS WAS BURIED IN THE TOMB OF JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA,
• 15:47 A RICH MAN WHO DONATED HIS TOMB FOR THAT BURIAL.
• 15:50 GOD SAID HE WOULD MAKE HIS SOUL AN OFFERING FOR SIN,
• 15:54 A SACRIFICIAL OFFERING AS IN LEVITICUS 17:11.
• 15:58 I'VE GIVEN YOU THE BLOOD FOR REMISSION OF SINS.
• 16:00 BUT ISAIAH SAYS HE WILL PROLONG HIS DAYS, HE WOULD BE RESURRECTED,
• 16:05 HE WOULD LIVE ON DESPITE THAT HE WAS CUT OFF.
• 16:08 HE WILL PROLONG HIS DAYS AND THAT HE WILL JUSTIFY MANY,
• 16:12 SO MANY, NOT JUST THE JEWISH PEOPLE, BUT THE GENTILES, TOO.
• 16:15 SO, FROM THE PROPHET ISAIAH WE LEARN, MESSIAH SUFFERS, DIES,
• 16:21 RISES FROM THE DEAD AND THEN FORGIVES.

• 19:33 AND THAT'S SOME OF ZOLA'S MUSIC, LOVELY, LOVELY MUSIC ABOUT ISRAEL.
• 19:38 YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ISAIAH THE PROPHET AROUND 700 BC,
• 19:44 THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF PROPHECY COME TO TRUTH.
• 19:48 ISAIAH'S NAME MEANS "GOD SAVES" AND HERE ISAIAH PROPHESIED THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM.
• 19:57 YOU KNOW, JEFF, ISAIAH IS A WONDERFUL TEACHING.
• 19:59 I REALLY AM ENJOYING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
• 20:01 YEAH, HE'S VERY FAMOUS, OFTEN EMPLOYED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 20:04 HE'S WONDERFUL, YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE SCRIPTURE IN ISAIAH 45 THAT YOU'VE BEEN TEACHING ON,
• 20:09 BUT I LIKE THE ONE IT SAYS IN 17,
• 20:16 EVERLASTING SALVATION.
• 20:18 HERE IT IS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TALKING ABOUT A PERMANENT SALVATION
• 20:21 AND WE KNOW IT AS YESHUA.
• 20:24 LET'S UNDERSCORE ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED WITH SALVATION,
• 20:28 MANY PEOPLE JUST SAY THAT GOD TOOK ISRAEL AND THE JEWS
• 20:31 AND STUCK THEM ALL IN THE GARBAGE DUMP.
• 20:33 I BELIEVE THEY CALL THAT REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY.
• 20:35 I DON'T THINK THAT'S ISAIAH'S UNDERSTANDING, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
• 20:37 I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.
• 20:43 NOT UNTIL TOMORROW, NOT UNTIL YESTERDAY, EVERLASTING.
• 20:47 GOD HAS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH NOT ONLY THE JEWS, BUT WITH EVERYONE.
• 20:52 WE SEE A STORY IN THE BIBLE WHERE THERE IS A REJECTION AMONG SOME ISRAELITES TOWARD JESUS,
• 20:57 BUT APPARENTLY THAT SITUATION IS GOING TO BE RECTIFIED.
• 20:59 YOU KNOW, IT'S THE BAD NEWS AND THE GOOD NEWS
• 21:02 AND THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DO HAVE PERMANENT SALVATION.
• 21:04 ALL THE MORE WE NEED TO REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
• 21:07 BECAUSE THERE IS A PEACE THAT'S COMING TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
• 21:10 AND IT IS PERMANENT AND THAT'S WHAT, YOU KNOW, I GET SO UPSET ABOUT THE HEADLINES,
• 21:14 WHAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL, AND YET GOD IS IN CONTROL
• 21:18 AND THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF BEING A BELIEVER.
• 21:21 ANYWAY, WE'RE GOING GO AND LOOK AT ISRAEL AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS TRAVEL SPOT.
• 21:27 ISRAEL IS YOUR HOME.
• 21:29 BACK AFTER THIS.
• 21:31 FOLLOW ME TO GALILEE..
• 21:34 AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, DO NOT BE AFRAID,
• 21:37 GO TELL MY BRETHREN TO GO INTO GALILEE, THERE THEY WILL SEE.
• 21:45 IT STRENGTHENS OUR FAITH TO KNOW THAT JESUS WALKED ON THE WATER AND THAT WE CAN CALL OUT TO HIM.
• 21:50 IT MAKES THE WHOLE SCRIPTURES COME TO LIFE.
• 22:03 THAT'S ISRAEL.
• 22:04 THAT'S HOW WE SEE IT.
• 22:05 JEFF, I'M ALWAYS EXCITED TO GO TO ISRAEL
• 22:07 AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GO AND DO SOME MORE TEACHING IN ISRAEL.
• 22:10 I LOVE THE HOLY LAND.
• 22:11 I LOVE GOING TO ISRAEL AND I LOVE TALKING ABOUT ISRAEL.
• 22:15 ISAIAH HAS A FEW THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ISRAEL, AS WELL.
• 22:18 WE'VE BEEN CONSIDERING A TEXT IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 45 AMONG OTHERS
• 22:22 AND IN CHAPTER 45 VERSE 14 WE SEE THAT THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT ISRAEL
• 22:28 ARE GOING TO COME AND SAY...
• 22:36 REMINDS ME THAT ALL AROUND THE REGION PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT
• 22:40 HOW THERE'S NO GOD BUT ALLAH AND MOHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET.
• 22:43 IT IS INTERESTING TO WATCH THE MIDDLE EAST AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON
• 22:46 AND IT'S INTERESTING TO LIVE IN THESE TIMES AND SEE PROPHECY TRULY BEING FULFILLED.
• 22:52 HOW EXCITING IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR, I GUESS A LITTLE BIT FRIGHTENING FOR ISAIAH
• 22:57 TO KNOW THAT WHAT HE PROPHESIED WAS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
• 23:02 IT'S SO EXPLICIT, EGYPTIANS, ETHIOPIANS,
• 23:05 WE'RE LOOKING AT NORTHERN AFRICA AND ARABIAN PEOPLES COMING AND SAYING
• 23:09 "SURELY GOD IS IN YOU, THERE'S NO GOD BUT YOUR GOD."
• 23:12 AND LOOK AT ISRAEL'S ENEMIES TODAY, SAME AS BEFORE, NOTHING EVER CHANGES.
• 23:19 YOU KNOW, SOLOMON SAID THERE'S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN AND THERE'S NOT.
• 23:22 IRAQ IS COMING AT HER, IRAN, EGYPT, LIBYA, RUSSIA.
• 23:26 WE THINK RUSSIA IS AN ALLY, I DON'T THINK SO.
• 23:30 YET AT SOME POINT IN TIME ALL THAT SEEMS TO GET ALIGNED
• 23:33 BECAUSE THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT COME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 23:37 THAT IS GOING TO TAKE A MIGHT MOVE OF GOD, A MIGHTY REVIVAL
• 23:41 BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S HAPPENING AT PRESENT.
• 23:43 YOU KNOW, IN ISAIAH 45 YOU'VE BEEN TEACHING ON ISAIAH 45.
• 23:46 I LIKE IN VERSE 19 WHERE IT SAYS
• 23:51 GOD DOESN'T SAY THIS IS SECRET.
• 23:53 HE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS IS MY WORD, THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.
• 24:09 WHAT IS DECLARED HERE IS HIS LOVE FOR ISRAEL, HIS COMING TO SAVE ISRAEL,
• 24:15 THE FACT THAT ISRAEL'S ENEMIES ROUND ABOUT WILL NOT ONLY BE RECONCILED TO ISRAEL,
• 24:21 BUT WILL COME TO KNOW THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
• 24:23 AMEN, AMEN.
• 24:25 IT'S POWERFUL AND YOU KNOW YOUR POINT IS SO WELL STATED TOO,
• 24:27 BECAUSE IT'S SO REMARKABLE THAT YOU KNOW, MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE JESUS,
• 24:33 ISAIAH WOULD PREDICT THAT THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT ISRAEL
• 24:36 WOULD BE MOBILIZES AGAINST HER THAN BE RECONCILED TO HER.
• 24:39 AND WE'VE SEEN COUNTRIES COME AND GO AGAINST ISRAEL.
• 24:44 ISRAEL HAS STILL REMAINED.
• 24:46 YES.
• 24:47 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN HE SAYS IN VERSE 17,
• 24:52 ARE WE TALKING HERE ABOUT THE SAVING OF THE SOUL, AS IMPORTANT AS THAT IS,
• 24:58 OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAVING OF THE PEOPLE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE,
• 25:01 THE SAVING OF THE NATION?
• 25:02 WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE?
• 25:04 I THINK IT'S ALL OF THAT.
• 25:05 SO DO I, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S PROBLEMATIC SOMETIMES
• 25:08 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BEING SAVED, WE TALK ABOUT SOULS BEING SAVED.
• 25:11 I DON'T THINK JESUS IS JUST IN THE BUSINESS OF SOULS, AS IMPORTANT AS THAT IS,
• 25:16 JESUS SAVES WHOLE LIVES, THAT MEANS MINDS ARE HEALED,
• 25:20 I BELIEVE BODIES CAN BE HEALED, I BELIEVE CIRCUMSTANCES CAN BE CHANGED.
• 25:24 I BELIEVE SALVATION HAS BROAD CONNOTATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS
• 25:28 AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE CONNOTATIONS FOR ISRAEL ITSELF.
• 25:31 BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE VERY END, IT SAYS IT'S A NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH AND A NEW JERUSALEM.
• 25:37 IT DOESN'T SAY ANY OTHER LAND, BUT ISRAEL.
• 25:40 THAT'S RIGHT.
• 25:41 SO GOD DOES SAVE US.
• 25:42 HOW MARVELOUS ARE HIS WAYS.
• 25:45 AND THE FACT THAT HE SAVES US, HE HELPS US,
• 25:48 HE CARRIES US ON TO THE FUTURE, IS FANTASTIC NEWS, IS IT NOT?
• 25:52 IT'S THE BEST NEWS.
• 25:54 WHEN YOU WATCH THE WARS AND THE RUMORS OF WARS, I GET A LITTLE BIT AFRAID
• 25:59 AND THEN I STOP AND I THINK, GOD REALLY IS IN CONTROL.
• 26:02 HE IS IN CONTROL.
• 26:04 YES, AND THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO KNOW, TOO, THAT HISTORY IS NOT SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL.
• 26:09 GOD DECLARED FROM THE BEGINNING THROUGH TO THE END HOW HISTORY WOULD UNFOLD.
• 26:15 SPEAK OF UNFOLDING, I HOPE AS YOU GO INTO THE FUTURE,
• 26:18 YOU'LL REMEMBER WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS, TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
• 26:24 DO THAT PLEASE AND BELIEVE GOOD THING FOR YOU AS YOU WALK WITH THE LORD
• 26:29 AND BELIEVE HIS WORD AND PRAY ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.
• 26:32 GOD BLESS YOU.
