  Speaker 2: We're in a series for those of you who have
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: been following along with us God, Government, church and state. God, Government,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Church and state. And today we're going to look at
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: government cover up. Amen, a government cover up?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Wow? Is that real? Yes?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It is in the Bible too, in your Bible government
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: cover up. Before we begin, quick moment word of prayer.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Father again, Great is your faithfulness, Great is your grace, mercy, love, peace,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: kindness toward us, your long suffering. Thank you that our
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: sins have been forgiven. We have been delivered from the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: power of darkness, translated into the kingdom of your dear son.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the blood of Jesus Christ that was
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: shed for the remission of our sins. Thank you that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: he rose again for our redemption to redeem us from
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all iniquity. We give you praise, glory and honor today.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your word that you've sent down from
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: heaven that we may eat and live thereby be glory
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: finding your people everywhere.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We give you praise and honor. Amen and Amen.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: All right, government cover up? We in Matthew's Gospel Chapter
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. I'm going to read a few verses at
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the end of this chapter twenty seven. And of course, again,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: if you've been following along with us, you know that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we've been from the scriptures examining and asserting the fact
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: that Jesus did not shy away from intervening with the government.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Not only did he not shy away, he challenged the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: leaders of that day in many instances as they also
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: came to challenge him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Amen. And he certainly spoke the truth. Amen.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And he did not again at all shy away from
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you know, the government of his day. But as we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: already he would of course be led to Calvary and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: crucified because of their insistence that he be removed from
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: their midst And so he he he certainly provoked them. Not,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and we asserted this as well. He didn't provoke them
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in a bad way. He was provoking them to good,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to good works, to believing on him with all the miracles, signs,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and wonders, everything that he did. A man, he was
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: provoking them, a man to repentance, a man he came
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to seeking to save that which was lost. But again,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: those who are self righteous, those who are rebellious. Those
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: who will persist in their unbelief a man, they will
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: die in their sins. These are the words of Jesus.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: If you don't believe that I am he a man,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he said, you will die in your sins. Matthew's Gospel,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: chapter number twenty seven, Universe number sixty two. On the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilot, saying, we remember
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: while he was still alive, how that deceiver said, after
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: three days I will rise. Therefore, command that the tomb
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: come by night and steal him away and say to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the people he has risen from the dead. So the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: last deception will be worse than the first.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Pilots said to them.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: You have a guard, go your way, make it as
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: secure as you know. How so they went and made
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the god Amen. Now,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: of course, after these corrupt, jealous government leaders, the Elders
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: describes the Pharisees the sadties.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: They all colluded together.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Of course, after they accomplished their goal of murdering Jesus.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Remember they kept conspiring how they were going to get
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: rid of him, and they sought on many occasions to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: kill him, even to stone him. But of course again
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that was not the way. It wasn't time. Of course,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that Jesus was going to die, and so their collusion
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: now was not yet over, even though they again had
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: accomplished their mission at least in their minds of putting
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: him to death. And by the way, of course, as
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, no one takes my life from me, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: lay it down willingly. Nevertheless, they remembered how that Jesus
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: promised that he would rise again the dead. He said,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: destroy this temple, and in three days that would raise
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: it up. He said, as the prophet Jonah was three
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: days and three nights in the heart of the belly
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of a fish, so the Son of Man will be
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Also he promised disciples that he would see them again,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that he would rise again. All of these things so
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: they remembered, amen, that Jesus promised his resurrection from the dead. However,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: they did not believe that Jesus had the power to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: do this amen, so they thought that it would be
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a conspiracy, a collusion of his disciples coming together, perhaps
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a man to steal away his body and make the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: words of Jesus a reality. So they make their petition
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to pilot Amen, to ensure that there would be no collusion,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to ensure that his disciples would not come with some
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: kind of trickery a man again, to make the promise
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of Jesus a reality. Oh, thank God that he does
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: not depend upon us. He does not need us to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: make his word a force. Amen, to make his word
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a reality, to make his promises. Yay and Amen, thank God,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: he doesn't need us Amen, to fulfill his word.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Now. Jesus is coming back, whether we believe it or not. Amen.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: He is God, whether we believe it or not. It
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: is not dependent upon our belief. It's not dependent what
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: God has promised to do. Folks, Please understand this, what
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: God has promised to do is not dependent upon man
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: cooperating at all.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Amen. He doesn't need our assistance. He doesn't need our help. Amen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: It is for our benefit. It is for our good
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: if we do, of course believe, and we do, of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: course cooperate.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And by the way, this was one miracle above all
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: others that they could not even fathom in their minds
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that it should take place. Jesus had already demonstrated his
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: power and his authority over death when he raised Jayris,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: his daughter from the dead, when he raised the weeping
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: widow's son from the dead as they were passing by,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: if you remember the funeral procession, and Jesus a man,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: raised the young man from the dead as they were
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: going to the a man gravesite to bury him. And then,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of course, most recently, shortly before he would be put
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: to death, of course, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: which was incredible in the fact that this man, Lazarus,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: had been dead for four days, a man, and he
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: was already in the grave, not like the daughter who
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: had just fallen asleep, not like the young man who
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: was a man on his way, a man to a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: man burial site. This man, Lazarus was a man four
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: days a man four days dead. And of course there
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: was I believe, I've read this before, a belief that
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the spirit or the soul of a person hovered over
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the body for a period of forty eight seventy two
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: hours or so. And in these cases they would argue,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: for example, and the other two resurrections, they would argue that, oh,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: they just they were not really dead. Their spirit, you know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: came back, and their soul came back and revived them.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: So they would be able to discount the miracle of
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Jarius's daughter and a man, the widow's son, being raised
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: from dead. But in the case of Lagardy, Hey, man,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: we're talking about four days a man riga mortis a man.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: The worms, the skin worms, as Joe spoke of them,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: had already begun a man their work. By this time
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the body was decaying a man, and of course they
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: could not argue against that miracle. And by the way,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: if you remember in the eleventh chapter of the Gospel
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of John, I mean, I think this is where the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: miracle takes place. And it goes on into the twelfth
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: chapter of the Gospel of John where the leaders, the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: government leaders conspired together also, if you remember, to put
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Lazarus to death. They wanted to kill him, amen, so
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that they could discount the miracle. They didn't know such
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: thing when it came to the others that were raised
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: from the dead. But in this particular case and man,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the raising of Lazarus from the dead, which was prefiguring
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: what would happen with Jesus and all of the saints
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of God. By the way, Amen, they said, we've got
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to even put Lazarus to death because a man because
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: of him, a lot of people are believing on Jesus,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and so they remember these things. However, they steal did
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: not attribute to Jesus the power.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: To be raised from the dead of his own accord.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: No, they persisted in their unbelief a man that Jesus
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: was able to be resurrected from the dead. And this
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: is the corrosive effect of unbelief. By the way, even
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: when miracles and signs and wonders have been witnessed a
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: man by the unbeliever, when he is hardened in his heart,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: no amount of persuasiveness, no amount of evidence and reasoning,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: will overcome a man.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Excuse me that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Spirit of rebellion, because it has taken root a man
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: within the heart. And we need to look no further,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: of course, than the Israelites, who were a man miraculously
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: all of the signs and wonders that God performed delivering
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: them out of bondage, out of slavery in Egypt, a
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: man from their task masters. They they they witnessed firstthand
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: all of the plagues and all of the signs in
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the wonders, and even after they were brought out a man.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: It was that generation, with the exception of two, that
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: perished in the wilderness. Why because of their unbelief. They
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: simply refused to believe God. Miracle after miracle, sign after sign,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: one after wonder. They ate bread from heaven. God gave
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: them meat in their lust, water out of a rock.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, what more do you want to see?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Their clothes never wore out, their shoes never wore out. Amen.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And so like that generation, the generation of Jesus, they
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: also witnessed supernatural miracle, signs and wonders a man performed
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: by Jesus, a man. And of course Jesus compared them
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: to their fathers who perished in the wilderness, who rebelled
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: against Moses in God, of course a man. And again
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it just shows us how that unbelief is what keeps
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: people shackled in chains of bundage. Unbelief is murderous. Unbelief
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: is a very powerful, again and corrosive force. A man
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: that destroys a man, the soul of a man, a man,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: and so these government leaders. They were so blinded by
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: their own greed and lust for power and control, of course,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: that they willfully ignored the miracles that they saw with
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: their own eyes. They willfully disregarded the fulfillment of the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: prophecies of the scriptures, their prophets that God sent to them,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: wrote of prophesied concerning the Messiah, when he would come,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: what he would do, where he would be born, all
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of these things. And had you even had wise men,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the body was speaking of these wise men that came
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: from Afar, where is he born? King of the Jews?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Whereas those who were there, who had the scriptures, who
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: had the oracles of God, they simply had to search
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the scriptures and see whether or not these things were
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: so it was being fulfilled right in their midst.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: They wilfully disregarded a man all of these things.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: And even by the way, in their collusion to murder Jesus,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: they themselves were unaware in their minds. And this again,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: this is how the mind can be so corrupted. They
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: were unaware in their own minds that they were also
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: fulfilling the prophecies that were written before concerning Jesus in
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: their own A man acts of a man, rebellion against
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: a man, Jesus. And so they murdered Jesus, put him
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to death. And now they want to be certain, They
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: want to be absolutely certain that this is the end
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: of his threat to their power. Amen, an influence a man,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: They want that power, They want that influence. This is listen,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something. There's something about power that corrupts.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: And this is just the way of man. This is
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the nature of man. And so they, in their minds
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and in their collusion, they decided that we will not
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: take any chance at all of his disciples mustering up
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: the courage. By the way, and keep in mind, never
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: forget this, that the disciples all forsook Jesus. They fled
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: a man, They left him. He was left alone and forsaken.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: And they were they were in despair, they were in fear.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: These guys were not going to come and search out
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the body of Jesus and then go and boldly proclaim
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: that he was risen from the dead if he was
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: not not, these guys they were cowering in fear.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Amen. They were disappointed in Jesus.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Amen, and they were that that's where their hope was.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And so to believe this was the belief of the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: or the stated belief of what the the you know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the the government leaders and their conspiracy wanted to and
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: man put forth at the disciples. The disciples of Jesus
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: would somehow again muster up the carriage and the boldness
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to come steal the body of Jesus and then make
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: what Jesus promised a reality.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Hm.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, So let's go quickly to Matthew chapters twenty.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: The next chapter, so after the sabbath, as the first
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: day of the week began to done, Mary Magdalene and
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the other Mary came to see the tomb, and behold,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: stone from the door and sat on it. His countenance
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And the guards, remember the guards are still there, Amen,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, shook for fear of him, and became
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: like dead men. But the angel answered and said to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the women, do not be afraid, for I know that
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: you seek Jesus, who was crucified.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: He is not here.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: He is risen as he said, come see the place
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: where the Lord lay, and go quickly and tell his
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: disciples that he is risen from the dead. And indeed
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: he is going before you into Galilee. There you will
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: see him. Behold, I have told you. So they went
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and ran to bring his disciples word.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Remember they were cowering.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: In fear a man, and still in bewilderment at what
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: had taken place. And so again they now get the
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: news a man that Jesus has risen from the dead.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, as they went to tell his disciples, behold,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus met them. He met the women a man, saying rejoice.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: So they came and held him him by the feet
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and worshiped him.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to them, do not be afraid.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: there they will see me. Now, while they were going,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: behold some of the guard. Now here is the government
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: cover up, Ladies and gentlemen, here is the government cover up.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Some of the guard came into the city and reported
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to the chief priests all the things that had happened
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: There it is, they're colluding again here.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: They got to work this cover up. What are we
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: gonna do, what are we gonna say? How we're gonna
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: handle this? Everything that happened. The soldiers, these are Roman soldiers, amen,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: And they were responsible for guarding the tomb. And this
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: is with their own life, amen. And they knew that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: And so nevertheless they come back. They didn't go to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Pontius pilot. They didn't go to their amen leaders. Ay, man,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: they go to the chief priest because they've got to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: find a way around all of this. And man, how
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: do how do we maneuver out of this? Let me
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: tell you what happened. There was an angel that came
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: that was a great earthquake, an angel from heaven came
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and we just all passed out.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: We lost consciousness, amen.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: And the tomb was open, and we even saw that
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the body of Jesus is no longer there.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: And so what do we do? What do we do?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: What do we do? They told?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: The Bible says the chief priest, this is the government,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, all what had happened?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: The Bible said? They assembled together with the elders, they
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: consulted together. In other words, again, they made they made
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a story, They made something that would perhaps just a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: fly with pilot.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: And and uh and and the rest of the people.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And they said, we've we've got to handle this. This,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: this is, this is by the way, this happens all
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It still happens to this day.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Of course, we will never get full truth from any
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: government lady in town. Matter of fact, most of us
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: can't handle the truth. Of course, we can't handle all
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the whole truth and the whole truth and nothing but
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the truth. So no, no, no, we can't. We can't
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: handle it. Most people can't handle it if they really
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: knew a lot of the things that the government covers up.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: A man with this cover up, my god, my god. Okay,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: So they the Bible says, they assemble together, They consulted together,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: and they gave Look what happened. They gave a large
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: psalm money to the soldiers. When all else fails, good
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: old fashioned bribery, Good old fashioned bribery works. And they
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: said to the soldiers, tell them his disciples came at
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: night and stole him away while we slept, ladies and gentlemen,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that does not fly, that does not fly. These soldiers
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: had specific orders and duties and responsibilities. First watched, the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: second watch, the third watch, the fourth watch. They had
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: round the clock duty. And for them to say that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: we all fell asleep, and while we were sleeping so
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: soundly that the disciples came rolled away the stone took
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: the body of Jesus out.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: So they stuck with that one.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: What they had told Pilot, what they had feared in
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: their minds, at least, what happened. They came to, aymen
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: this conclusion that this is the best story that we
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: can come up with. This is the best cover up
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: that we can come up with. Tell them that the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: disciples came by night and stole the body of Jesus
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: while we Roman soldiers, with our lives on the line,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: were sleeping. And if this comes to the governor's ears,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: this is what they said, Pilot of the years, about this,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: we will appease him and.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Make you cure man, oh man. So the Bible tells
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: us the soldiers took the money, did as they were instructed,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to this day. Now again, ladies and gentlemen, the spirit
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of unbelief and the blindness of the heart that accompanies unbelief.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Of course, it persists.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: In our world to this day, of course, and this
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: is why, of course the church has to mandate the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: mission that Jesus gave to the Church. Of course, right
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: even here in this twenty eighth chapter of Matthew's Gospel,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: before he would ascend back up to heaven, he would
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: say to.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: His disciples, go preach, teach.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Amen, We've got to go and reach the world. Teach
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the world, preach to the world this gospel message. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: of course we're going to look at, of course what
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: the disciples certainly did go forward and do.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: But the governments then and even now to this very day,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: do not want the government of God, not want the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Kingdom of God to rule over this world. In their minds,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: this world belongs to them. This world is their world, Amen.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: And so they have the answers, of course in their
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: minds to all of the man problems of poverty and inequity,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: of the wars and diseases and natural disasters. We know
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: how to fix everything. We know how that we've got
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: We got this. We don't need God, Amen, we don't
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: need this Jesus that you all preach about and talk about.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: They don't want Jesus, they don't want his king, they
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: don't want his authority, they don't want his word.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So government cover up of the truth about Jesus is
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: an agoing collusive effort a man that Psalm number two,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: of course, speaks about a man in their rebellion against
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: their creator, Psalm number two, verses two and three. And
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm closing here.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: The kings of the earth, the Bible says, set themselves.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That speaks of government.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: take counsel together. They collude a man against the Lord
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and against his anointed, saying, let us break their bandons
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: asunder and cast away their cords from us. They do
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: not want God. But nevertheless, ladies, gen Church of the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Living God, no collusive efforts on their heart, nor any
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: ongoing cover up of the truth of the Word of God,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the dead, will circumvent the inevitable return of Jesus Christ.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Amen. This same Jesus who was crucified.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Will return, And he is the judge of the quick
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: and the dead.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: He made a promise. He doesn't need us to fulfill
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: his promise, to fulfill his word. He's coming again, no
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: matter what men may say, nor do.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Father help us today. Speak to someone's heart today, speak
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to someone's mind.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Today, Change the.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Obstinate heart, the rebellious heart, as only you can do
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: by the power of your Holy Spirit.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus Christ, we praying your things
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: for all things. Amen. And a man
