- 0:42Speaker 1: are simulcasting again a man from Amen our home studio,
- 0:48Speaker 1: if you will, and we thank God again for the
- 0:51Speaker 1: opportunity to a man be chosen to be appointed by God,
- 0:56Speaker 1: to a man be a partaker and also a minister
- 1:01Speaker 1: of the Word of the Living God. And so we
- 1:03Speaker 1: don't take it for granted, and every opportunity that He

- 1:13Speaker 1: the calling a man and be found faithful in the
- 1:17Speaker 1: dissemination of the Word of the Living God. And so today,
- 1:21Speaker 1: as we continue in this series that we've begun a
- 1:23Speaker 1: few weeks ago, several weeks ago, God Government Church in State,
- 1:28Speaker 1: today we want to take a look again at God's
- 1:32Speaker 1: divine intervention. And today we're going to Amen just entitle
- 1:37Speaker 1: this particular podcast, Divine Disruption, Divine disruption, and make no
- 1:44Speaker 1: mistake about it, God is not separated, Amen, from the
- 1:48Speaker 1: affairs of this world. He not only is intimately acquainted
- 1:52Speaker 1: with all of what transpires in this world, but He
- 1:56Speaker 1: is also intimately involved a man. There is nothing that happens,
- 2:02Speaker 1: nothing that transpires in this world outside of the purview
- 2:06Speaker 1: of God's sovereign reign and rue. We would do ourselves
- 2:10Speaker 1: well a man, certainly as to people of God, a
- 2:14Speaker 1: man to keep that in mind, to know that, so
- 2:17Speaker 1: that we can rest in it. No matter what happens,
- 2:20Speaker 1: No matter what transpires in our world, God is in control.
- 2:25Speaker 1: He reigns and rules in the kingdom of Men. Again,
- 2:29Speaker 1: we thank God again for all of you who will listen,

- 3:00Speaker 1: for this. We pay we pay for amen. This podcast.
- 3:05Speaker 1: The audio podcast and certainly we are we are not
- 3:10Speaker 1: being again compensated for our Amen. Time and and for
- 3:18Speaker 1: this ministry. We do this as a labor of love, love,
- 3:22Speaker 1: because freely we have received. Freely we give Amen. And
- 3:26Speaker 1: God has a man again provided for us great reward
- 3:32Speaker 1: in heaven. And that's what I personally look forward to. Amen.
- 3:36Speaker 1: My reward is not of this earth, it's not of
- 3:41Speaker 1: this world. Amen. God supplies all my needs. Amen. He's
- 3:46Speaker 1: always been faithful. And to that end, Amen, I am grateful,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and I certainly believe in trust that he will always
- 3:53Speaker 1: do just that. So if you have your Bible to
- 3:57Speaker 1: go with us, we're going to in just a few
- 4:00Speaker 1: moments ago again to Daniel, chapter number two. But divine disruption,
- 4:07Speaker 1: divine disruption. But again before we began, let's just take
- 4:11Speaker 1: a moment to a man invoke the presence of the Lord.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And as always, I just loved, I just love to
- 4:19Speaker 1: thank him for being the God that he is. Father.
- 4:23Speaker 1: We stretch our hands to you. We're thankful and grateful
- 4:26Speaker 1: to you for all of your provision, all of your promises,
- 4:29Speaker 1: all of your protection. You've been with us. You've never
- 4:32Speaker 1: left us, you've never forsaken us. And we just want
- 4:35Speaker 1: to give glory and honor to you this day. Thank
- 4:38Speaker 1: you for your word, your enduring word, the word from
- 4:42Speaker 1: which we gain wisdom and knowledge and insight and understanding
- 4:47Speaker 1: and prudence and discernment and know from your word, Lord,
- 4:52Speaker 1: the way that we should go. So we just asked
- 4:55Speaker 1: today that you will speak to someone's heart and open
- 4:58Speaker 1: their eyes ears and what they're understanding, to know and
- 5:02Speaker 1: to perceive, and to not only know, but to have
- 5:05Speaker 1: a heart to obey your word, and to a be
- 5:09Speaker 1: one of your a man sheep sheep of your pasture,
- 5:13Speaker 1: wherein there is rest and peace and joy, protection, Amen, goodness, mercy,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and all that you have promised to those who love
- 5:24Speaker 1: and obey you. We give you glory and honors today.
- 5:26Speaker 1: It's in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray man
- 5:29Speaker 1: and Amen. All right. Divine disruption, Divine disruption is what
- 5:35Speaker 1: we're going to kind of focus on a little bit
- 5:37Speaker 1: today and again, as we have already discussed in our
- 5:39Speaker 1: previous podcast in this series on God, Government, Church and state. Amen,
- 5:47Speaker 1: it is incontrovertible. It is plainly evident, it is explicit
- 5:53Speaker 1: explicitly Rever Lady bear before us in the scriptures and
- 5:58Speaker 1: we can certainly see this in history, that the God
- 6:01Speaker 1: who created the universe, he has not separated himself a man,
- 6:08Speaker 1: from the affairs of this world. It is his world.
- 6:13Speaker 1: All souls belong to him. Everything in the world belonged
- 6:16Speaker 1: to him. He made it, It's his, he owns it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: He's the owner. He has ownership rights, amen. And all
- 6:25Speaker 1: of this before the foundation of the world, he ordained
- 6:30Speaker 1: and decreed for things, events, all of this, everything that
- 6:37Speaker 1: transpires in our world again to culminate a man in
- 6:41Speaker 1: bringing to him the honor, the majesty, the glory, the
- 6:45Speaker 1: praise that is due only to him. It's all working
- 6:49Speaker 1: together a man to that end. And in order for
- 6:52Speaker 1: that to be fulfilled, in order for that to be fulfilled,
- 6:57Speaker 1: he must bring to pass of necessity. He must bring
- 7:02Speaker 1: to pass all events to that end. This means that
- 7:09Speaker 1: the governments and the institutions of this world that are
- 7:14Speaker 1: in the world must, by that determined end that God
- 7:19Speaker 1: has decreed, be under his sovereign rule and subject to
- 7:26Speaker 1: his authority. And this is exactly, I believe, what the
- 7:30Speaker 1: apostle Paul is alluding to. For example, when he wrote
- 7:33Speaker 1: these words to the Corinthian Church first Corinthians, Chapter fifteen.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Couple of verses there, Verses twenty four and twenty five,
- 7:40Speaker 1: will be in Daniel in just a moment. I just
- 7:43Speaker 1: want you, a man, point out, if you will, that
- 7:50Speaker 1: there is an end that is coming, and that end
- 7:55Speaker 1: God has ordained, and he is orchestrating it even now. Amen.
- 8:02Speaker 1: But Paul writes these words verse twenty four. Then comes
- 8:05Speaker 1: the end when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father,
- 8:11Speaker 1: when he puts an end to all rule and all
- 8:19Speaker 1: authority and power. What is Paul talking about? What is
- 8:24Speaker 1: he referencing here? The empower, the authorities, the rule of
- 8:28Speaker 1: this world, the governments of this world, and of course
- 8:30Speaker 1: even the principalities and powers of the demonic world that
- 8:35Speaker 1: is invisible to us. All of it will be brought
- 8:39Speaker 1: to an end verse twenty five. For he must reign
- 8:45Speaker 1: till he has put all enemies under his feet. And
- 8:51Speaker 1: again now in previous podcasts in this series, we saw,
- 8:56Speaker 1: particularly in the Book of Daniel, that the sovereign God,
- 9:00Speaker 1: who created all things and again orchestrates all things for
- 9:05Speaker 1: his glory. We see how God intervened in the bedroom,
- 9:11Speaker 1: if you will, of a pagan king by giving to
- 9:15Speaker 1: this king a dream, an unforgettable dream that he could
- 9:20Speaker 1: not shape, that he absolutely had to have an interpretation of.
- 9:25Speaker 1: And of course you know the story a man how
- 9:28Speaker 1: that he called in all of his wise men, the astrologist,
- 9:31Speaker 1: the soothsayers, all of the people that were on his payroll,
- 9:35Speaker 1: who were supposedly able and gifted and trained in being
- 9:43Speaker 1: able to interpret these kinds of things. He called all
- 9:46Speaker 1: of the men, and none of them were able to
- 9:49Speaker 1: make known to the king what the dream was and
- 9:51Speaker 1: the interpretation of it. But at the last Daniel, God's
- 9:57Speaker 1: man who was exiled to that place. Again, God does
- 10:04Speaker 1: all of these things for his own purpose and for
- 10:06Speaker 1: his glory. So even when we find ourselves, as Daniel did,
- 10:11Speaker 1: in situations and circumstances that are beyond our control, please
- 10:15Speaker 1: understand and know that God is still in control, and
- 10:21Speaker 1: he is orchestrating, and he is a man ordering. He
- 10:26Speaker 1: has a man done this according again to his purpose
- 10:30Speaker 1: and his decrees, a man long before the foundation of
- 10:34Speaker 1: the world. So he has Daniel in that place in
- 10:39Speaker 1: exile under the punishment of the nation of Judah because
- 10:44Speaker 1: of their disobedience. A man Daniel is one of the
- 10:48Speaker 1: captives that has been carried away into Babylon. But while
- 10:51Speaker 1: he is there, God a man uses him to interpret
- 10:59Speaker 1: to this pagan king a dream that God, only God,
- 11:04Speaker 1: could have given to this king. And what this dream is,
- 11:08Speaker 1: and what we're about to see here is something that again,
- 11:12Speaker 1: only the God who is in control, only the God
- 11:15Speaker 1: who is sovereign, Only the God who has the power,
- 11:17Speaker 1: Only the God who has the ability to make all
- 11:20Speaker 1: of this happen. Only he could even give this dream
- 11:26Speaker 1: to this king. Daniel, Chapter two, verse thirty one, O King,
- 11:31Speaker 1: you were watching and behold a great image. This great image,
- 11:36Speaker 1: whose splendor was excellent, stood before you, and its form
- 11:41Speaker 1: was awesome. This image's head was a fine goal, its
- 11:47Speaker 1: chest in arms of silver, It's belly and thighs of bronze,
- 11:52Speaker 1: its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and
- 11:57Speaker 1: partly of clay. Watched while a stone was cut out
- 12:03Speaker 1: without hands, which struck the image on its feet of
- 12:07Speaker 1: iron and clay and broke them in pieces. Then the iron,
- 12:13Speaker 1: the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were
- 12:17Speaker 1: crushed together and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors.
- 12:22Speaker 1: The wind carried them away, so that no trace of
- 12:27Speaker 1: them was found, and the stone which struck the image
- 12:32Speaker 1: became a great mountain and field the hold earth. This
- 12:39Speaker 1: is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of
- 12:45Speaker 1: it before the king. So again, King Nebukanazza, that is
- 12:51Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of Babylon, had this dream. God gave
- 12:56Speaker 1: it to him, and he didn't know what the meaning
- 12:58Speaker 1: of it was. And so Daniel comes to him tells
- 13:02Speaker 1: him not only the interpretation as we're about to see,
- 13:05Speaker 1: of the dream, but told him what the dream was,
- 13:07Speaker 1: because that's act and actuality. What the king demanded. He
- 13:10Speaker 1: wanted of his wise man to not only give him
- 13:14Speaker 1: the interpretation of the dream, but to tell him what
- 13:16Speaker 1: he dreamed. This was something that is impossible of man.
- 13:21Speaker 1: But God with his man, that he puts in place
- 13:28Speaker 1: for his purpose, for his glory, for his honor, for
- 13:33Speaker 1: his again decrees that he a man in his own
- 13:39Speaker 1: wisdom and a man glory for his own glory, a
- 13:43Speaker 1: man determined before the foundation of the world. So he
- 13:47Speaker 1: now revealed. This is revelation. By the way, this is
- 13:50Speaker 1: revelation that God is doing, is revelation revealing through this
- 13:55Speaker 1: king a man what will come to pass. Hundreds and
- 14:02Speaker 1: thousands of years down the line. This is the dream king.
- 14:07Speaker 1: This is interpretation Verse thirty seven. You, o King, are
- 14:12Speaker 1: king of kings, for the God of Heaven has given you.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Never forget it, never can forget it. Those of you
- 14:20Speaker 1: in leadership, those of you in government, those of you
- 14:22Speaker 1: are the head of institutions, those of you who rise
- 14:25Speaker 1: to power and authority, never forget where it comes from.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Don't be like that fool. Jesus called him a fool,
- 14:35Speaker 1: very rich man, who had amassed so much, and he
- 14:38Speaker 1: just did not acknowledge that it all came from God.
- 14:41Speaker 1: And the Bible says, and Jesus, speaking of this, said,
- 14:45Speaker 1: thou fool, this night, thy soul is required of thee.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Know where your power comes from. Know where your position
- 14:53Speaker 1: comes from. Know where your help comes from. Know where
- 14:56Speaker 1: your provision comes from. Know where your healing comes from.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Know where you're health comes from. It comes from God.
- 15:04Speaker 1: If God, the very breath is in us comes from God.
- 15:08Speaker 1: So you, King, Daniel, says God, the God of Heaven
- 15:13Speaker 1: gave you the kingdom that you rule over. He gave
- 15:17Speaker 1: you the power, He gives you strength, He gave to
- 15:21Speaker 1: you glory, and wherever the children of men dwell or
- 15:25Speaker 1: the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.
- 15:28Speaker 1: He has given them into your hand, and he has
- 15:34Speaker 1: made you ruler over them. All. You are this head
- 15:42Speaker 1: of gold. But after you, this is future. This is prophecy,
- 15:50Speaker 1: This is what God is revealing. After you shall arise
- 15:54Speaker 1: another kingdom inferior to yours. Then another a third kingdom
- 15:59Speaker 1: of bronze shall which shall rule over all the earth.
- 16:03Speaker 1: And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron,
- 16:06Speaker 1: inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, And
- 16:11Speaker 1: like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces
- 16:17Speaker 1: and crush all the others. Whereas you saw the feet
- 16:22Speaker 1: and toes partly of Potter's clay and partly of iron,
- 16:26Speaker 1: the kingdom shall be divided. Yet the strength of the
- 16:30Speaker 1: iron shall be in it, just as you saw the
- 16:33Speaker 1: iron mixed with ceramic clay, and as the toes of
- 16:38Speaker 1: the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay.
- 16:40Speaker 1: So the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
- 16:45Speaker 1: As you saw iron mix with ceramic clay, they will
- 16:49Speaker 1: mingle with the seed of men, but they will not
- 16:52Speaker 1: adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix
- 16:57Speaker 1: with clay, and in the daze look at this of
- 17:01Speaker 1: these kings. The God of Heaven will set up a
- 17:05Speaker 1: kingdom which shall never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall
- 17:09Speaker 1: not be left to other people. It shall break in
- 17:12Speaker 1: pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out
- 17:23Speaker 1: of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces,
- 17:28Speaker 1: the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, the gold.
- 17:33Speaker 1: The Great God has made known to the king what
- 17:39Speaker 1: will come to pass after this? The dream is certain,
- 17:47Speaker 1: and its interpretation is sure. Oh man, oh my God,
- 17:56Speaker 1: no wonder. The critics of the Bible absolutely hate the
- 18:01Speaker 1: Book of Daniel. They hate it because it is so accurate.
- 18:06Speaker 1: It is precision. And we know those of us. Everybody knows.
- 18:16Speaker 1: They shouldn't know. Even those who deny that it was
- 18:20Speaker 1: written before all of these things came past. They know
- 18:24Speaker 1: what this dream is all about. What these empires are,
- 18:28Speaker 1: the Babylonian Empire, the Empire, the Means, and the Persians,
- 18:33Speaker 1: the Greeks, and then the Romans. And we know that
- 18:39Speaker 1: God revealed to King Nebukinneszen the rise in the fall
- 18:45Speaker 1: of all of these empires. But lest we forget, what
- 18:49Speaker 1: really disturbed the king was the obliterating of these kingdoms
- 18:56Speaker 1: by a stone that was not cut out, not made
- 19:02Speaker 1: with man's hands. That stone, of course, that rock, of course,
- 19:08Speaker 1: is Jesus the Christ. And even in his testimony, if
- 19:14Speaker 1: you remember before Pontius Pilot in the Gospel of John,
- 19:22Speaker 1: Jesus indeed acknowledged that he was a king, just as
- 19:29Speaker 1: the Jews, of course, had accused him of being. He said,
- 19:31Speaker 1: I am. However, he informed Pilot that his kingdom was
- 19:37Speaker 1: not of this world, which is all the more remarkable
- 19:42Speaker 1: when we look and observe all of the things that
- 19:46Speaker 1: are happening in our world. It's all the more remarkable
- 19:49Speaker 1: that his kingdom that is not of this world, that
- 19:52Speaker 1: is now invisible to our eyes, that kingdom is yet
- 19:58Speaker 1: even now ruling and reigning over the visible kingdoms, the
- 20:05Speaker 1: visible nations, the governments, the institutions, the affairs of this world,
- 20:15Speaker 1: our present world, Ladies and gentlemen, You see, when Jesus
- 20:20Speaker 1: came to visit us in the incarnation, his purpose was
- 20:27Speaker 1: not to overthrow the kingdoms of this world. The dominant kingdom,
- 20:32Speaker 1: of course, at that time, was the Roman Empire. That Iron,
- 20:38Speaker 1: the kingdom of Iron. But Jesus rather came to to
- 20:45Speaker 1: build his church, and and and and by divine disruption,
- 20:52Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I call divine disruption. Jesus came to
- 20:57Speaker 1: change the entire course of a world that was mired
- 21:04Speaker 1: in a great darkness and hopelessness. As a matter of fact,
- 21:10Speaker 1: God's own chosen people, the nation of Israel, they had
- 21:14Speaker 1: fallen into idolatry. They ten of the tribes, the northern
- 21:20Speaker 1: tribes were dispersed into the Assyrian Empire and ultimately throughout
- 21:27Speaker 1: the world. The Southern Kingdom not long after was taken
- 21:34Speaker 1: into captivity into Babylon. This is, of course, we referenced
- 21:37Speaker 1: earlier with Daniel being one of the exiles. And after
- 21:41Speaker 1: they returned under a man, the leadership of the Nehamyahs
- 21:50Speaker 1: and the Ezra's and the others that brought back and
- 21:56Speaker 1: helped to rebuild into sort of bring back the nation
- 22:01Speaker 1: into its place of a man promise. Even after that
- 22:07Speaker 1: there was a period of four hundred years of silence
- 22:13Speaker 1: where there was no divine revelation from God. But just
- 22:20Speaker 1: as he had already spoken, just as he had already promised,
- 22:25Speaker 1: even from the beginning even from the fall of Adam
- 22:28Speaker 1: and Eve and the Garden of Eden Genesis chapter three,
- 22:31Speaker 1: and throughout all of the Old Covenant, all of the
- 22:33Speaker 1: Old Testament, through the mouth of all of his prophets.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Just as he promised, God sent forth his son, the Deliverer,
- 22:48Speaker 1: the Redeemer, the one and only one, a man who
- 22:54Speaker 1: would be able to disrupt the foundations of a fallen world,
- 22:58Speaker 1: who would be able to overthrow and to expose the
- 23:01Speaker 1: oppression of the principalities and powers of the invisible world,
- 23:07Speaker 1: of the darkness, of the demonic of the devil. You
- 23:11Speaker 1: remember how when Jesus came in some of the instances
- 23:15Speaker 1: where he was either approached by or came a man
- 23:20Speaker 1: into contact with people who were either oppressed by the
- 23:23Speaker 1: devil or possessed by the devil. In some of those
- 23:26Speaker 1: cases you had these demons speaking out, for example, saying,
- 23:31Speaker 1: why have you come to torment us? Before the time
- 23:34Speaker 1: Jesus came, ladies and gentlemen, to disrupt, to overthrow, to overturn.
- 23:40Speaker 1: He came to set the captives free. He came to
- 23:44Speaker 1: proclaim liberty, because even without Satan, even without the Devil,
- 23:54Speaker 1: even without the demonic forces, of darkness, the fallen nature
- 23:59Speaker 1: of man itself. We'll oppress, will subject, we'll enslave, will persecute,
- 24:11Speaker 1: amen will kill, we'll murder. That's because the heart of man,
- 24:18Speaker 1: the Bible says, it's desperately wicked. Jesus said, the heart,
- 24:23Speaker 1: out of the heart, out of the heart of man,
- 24:25Speaker 1: proceeds all of these things even without the devil. We
- 24:29Speaker 1: can you know, Yeah, those of you are old enough
- 24:32Speaker 1: to remember. Back in the seventies, there was this comedian
- 24:34Speaker 1: by the name of Flip Wisdom who made popular this saying,
- 24:37Speaker 1: the devil made me do it. The devil doesn't make
- 24:39Speaker 1: us do everything. We are wicked, we are evil, We
- 24:44Speaker 1: have that in our nature. It's in our hearts. We
- 24:46Speaker 1: are falling. We're not naturally good people. Any goodness that
- 24:52Speaker 1: is in us, any goodness that is in this world,
- 24:55Speaker 1: comes from God. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And it is because of its goodness that there is
- 25:03Speaker 1: any goodness in this world. And that's what Jesus came
- 25:07Speaker 1: to do. And Lord have mercy, Thank you Lord. He
- 25:10Speaker 1: brought light, he brought joy Amen to the world. Much
- 25:17Speaker 1: needed peace and rests for our longing souls. Now in
- 25:23Speaker 1: order for Jesus to accomplish what he came to do.
- 25:26Speaker 1: It was necessary for Jesus at that time. It was
- 25:30Speaker 1: rather not necessary for Jesus at that time to overthrow
- 25:34Speaker 1: the Roman government. It wasn't necessary for him to overthrow
- 25:36Speaker 1: the Roman government to accomplish what he came to do.
- 25:39Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he through twelve disciples, one
- 25:45Speaker 1: of them, by the way, being a man, a son
- 25:49Speaker 1: of the devil, a man, a child of the devil,
- 25:53Speaker 1: a son of tradition, a man. Through these men, amen, Jesus, Amen,
- 26:04Speaker 1: As one would later testify in the Book of Acts,
- 26:07Speaker 1: these have turned the world upside down. One man. And
- 26:16Speaker 1: it's ragtag bunch of disciples who fought amongst each other,
- 26:24Speaker 1: who who desired that they had no different inclinations and
- 26:30Speaker 1: desires that that we have. And man, they weren't any
- 26:34Speaker 1: anyone any in any special, select kind of group, uh,
- 26:39Speaker 1: and unique they had, you know, desires for example, to
- 26:43Speaker 1: sit in his kingdom, one on the right and the
- 26:46Speaker 1: other on the left, and and who's going to be
- 26:48Speaker 1: the greatest among us, and and and all of those
- 26:51Speaker 1: kinds of things that Jesus but but but but nevertheless,
- 26:54Speaker 1: Jesus used these ordinary people Galileans, bishomen, tax collectors, Amen,
- 27:04Speaker 1: people that will look down upon, despised, rejected, second class.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And this is what Paul wrote about, by the way,
- 27:11Speaker 1: again in the Corinthians, he says, not many might mighty,
- 27:15Speaker 1: not many noble or called. God doesn't need I mean
- 27:18Speaker 1: the mighty, the high, and the noble, and the princes
- 27:21Speaker 1: of this world, the kings of this world, in order
- 27:23Speaker 1: to disrupt, in order to shake up, Amen, the systems
- 27:29Speaker 1: of this world. Amen. No, no, no, no, no, no no no.
- 27:33Speaker 1: God came in the person of his son, Amen. And
- 27:42Speaker 1: again it was unnecessary to overthrow the Roman government in
- 27:47Speaker 1: order to establish his kingdom, because Hello, his kingdom is
- 27:52Speaker 1: already established. It is of old, it is of eternity.
- 27:56Speaker 1: If you will, it is from everlasting to everlasting, because
- 28:01Speaker 1: as I believe Moses testified, from everlasting to everlasting. You
- 28:05Speaker 1: are God. Amen. But God at that time used the
- 28:12Speaker 1: existing governments, the existing ruling authorities of the world, the
- 28:19Speaker 1: Jewish leaders, the Jewish authorities, the Roman government, the Roman authorities. Amen,
- 28:27Speaker 1: to fulfill all of the prophecies again spoken long before.
- 28:36Speaker 1: And it was, as Peter said, of their own accord,
- 28:44Speaker 1: by their own wicked hands for their own nefarious purposes
- 28:49Speaker 1: and reasons. And Pilot even spotted it concerning the Jewish authorities.
- 28:53Speaker 1: He knew, the Bible says, the Bible testifies, Pilot knew
- 28:57Speaker 1: that they were envious of Jesus. Yet in the foreknowledge
- 29:02Speaker 1: of God, in the predestined plan of God coming down
- 29:09Speaker 1: to save us, he used the governments, the authorities, the leaders,
- 29:19Speaker 1: the rulers of this world, by their own willingness. They
- 29:26Speaker 1: weren't coerced to do this. Again, this comes out of
- 29:29Speaker 1: our own wickedness, our own jealousy, our own envy, our
- 29:33Speaker 1: own strife, our own rebellion. But God, even though they
- 29:38Speaker 1: meant it for evil. See they thought they were getting
- 29:42Speaker 1: rid of Jesus, they meant it for evil, for God
- 29:48Speaker 1: his purpose. Oh thank you Jesus. In their willingness yet
- 29:53Speaker 1: unawareness to murder the sinless, faultless son of God, they
- 30:02Speaker 1: fulfilled the scriptures. So in the greatest miscarriage of justice
- 30:10Speaker 1: ever in the history of this world, the greatest miscarriage
- 30:17Speaker 1: of justice that this world will ever witness. It was
- 30:22Speaker 1: the purposed, predestined plan of God, that there would be
- 30:30Speaker 1: divine disruption by Jesus Christ descending down and ladies and gentlemen.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Came in humility too, that's the other beauty of it. Oh,
- 30:42Speaker 1: my God, in humility he came. It would have been
- 30:47Speaker 1: a lot different, and perhaps to some degree, if he
- 30:51Speaker 1: had come in majesty, in splendor, in royalty and made
- 30:59Speaker 1: a claim to be the king, with a crown on
- 31:02Speaker 1: his head, with a band of soldiers, it would have
- 31:05Speaker 1: been different from their perspective in wanting to fight against him,
- 31:12Speaker 1: because that's what we do. We war, We fight against
- 31:16Speaker 1: kings and kingdoms of this world each other. So had
- 31:20Speaker 1: Jesus come in that manner, we could kind of, you know,
- 31:25Speaker 1: understand how they would be jealous of him, how they
- 31:28Speaker 1: would be envious of him, how they would feel threatened
- 31:31Speaker 1: by him. But here he came, healing people, feeding people,
- 31:41Speaker 1: working miracles of all kinds, signs and wonders, raising people
- 31:45Speaker 1: from the dead, curing all kinds of diseases. And they said,
- 31:53Speaker 1: we got to get rid of this guy. Only God
- 31:58Speaker 1: can orchestrate. Only God could do such a thing. Jesus
- 32:05Speaker 1: Christ again, in the greatest ever miscarriage of justice, disrupted,
- 32:14Speaker 1: brought about disruption even at the highest levels of the governments. Amen,
- 32:22Speaker 1: and he did it. Amen. To save us. Now, please
- 32:30Speaker 1: understand that right now in our world, far too many
- 32:35Speaker 1: of the governments and the ruling of authorities today also
- 32:42Speaker 1: reject Jesus, and they do not desire for Him to
- 32:48Speaker 1: rule over them. This, again, is yet another fulfillment of Scripture,
- 32:57Speaker 1: and it is let me says, it's evident for us
- 33:03Speaker 1: to see. It's plain for us to see. We witness
- 33:06Speaker 1: it right here unfolding before our eyes, how they are
- 33:12Speaker 1: rebelling against God. They don't want God to rule over
- 33:16Speaker 1: They don't want his commands. They don't on his word,
- 33:17Speaker 1: they don't on his his his laws, his precepts. They
- 33:22Speaker 1: don't even want his name. They hate the name of Jesus. Now,
- 33:26Speaker 1: you can say God to a certain extent, because you
- 33:30Speaker 1: know it can be kind of generic. But when you
- 33:36Speaker 1: say Jesus, when you invoke the name of Jesus, demons tremble,
- 33:45Speaker 1: people become restless, because he is the stone. He's that
- 33:54Speaker 1: stone that is threatening to them. He is that stone
- 34:00Speaker 1: that is the head of that kingdom. He's that stone
- 34:02Speaker 1: that was cut out without hands. He is the rock
- 34:05Speaker 1: of ages. He is the stone that the builders rejected.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And again, just as it was foretold, just at as
- 34:19Speaker 1: it was revealed to the king neverkin As, just as
- 34:23Speaker 1: Daniel interpreted it to him, that stone is going to
- 34:29Speaker 1: crush the kingdoms of this world, and we will with
- 34:38Speaker 1: him reign and rule and and and and and the
- 34:44Speaker 1: Bible promises his kingdom will then be visible. It's going
- 34:50Speaker 1: to be right here, new heaven, new Earth, wherein dwells righteousness.
- 34:58Speaker 1: And those that are with him, those who will be
- 35:00Speaker 1: with him are those who are called and faithful, chosen, obedient,
- 35:08Speaker 1: those who love him, those who honor him, those who
- 35:13Speaker 1: worship him, those who praise him, those who look for him.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Are you looking for him? That's the question, By the way,
- 35:21Speaker 1: are you looking? Are you? Are you still looking and
- 35:25Speaker 1: hoping and trusting in the governments of this world to
- 35:29Speaker 1: bring about peace and stability and tranquility and rest. No, no, no,
- 35:37Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Divine disruption has already taken place, and
- 35:43Speaker 1: it's going to happen again. But the next time, the
- 35:47Speaker 1: next time, he will overthrow, he will root out, he
- 35:55Speaker 1: will cast out. But you don't want to be on
- 36:00Speaker 1: that side. So today, if you hear his voice, hard
- 36:06Speaker 1: not your heart. Father, We pray as somebody somewhere will
- 36:12Speaker 1: come to fear and tremble at your word, to know
- 36:15Speaker 1: that you are the King of kings, the Lord of Lords,
- 36:17Speaker 1: the Great. I am the First, the last day alphel
- 36:19Speaker 1: the o May of the beginning, in the end. You
- 36:22Speaker 1: are the soon coming King. So help us today, Lord,
- 36:26Speaker 1: to walk worthy, speak the truth in our hearts, to
- 36:29Speaker 1: speak the truth and love, to be found, faithful, to
- 36:32Speaker 1: be watching, persevering, looking for and hastening to the coming
- 36:39Speaker 1: of the day of the Lord. Without glorifying your people everywhere,
- 36:43Speaker 1: we give you praise, honor in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen.
