- 0:15Speaker 1: This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and
- 0:18Speaker 1: delivered him from all of his fears. Old taste and see.
- 0:21Speaker 1: The Summers says that the Lord is good. Blessed is
- 0:25Speaker 1: the man who puts his trust in the Lord. Blessed
- 0:28Speaker 1: is the one who walks not in the council of
- 0:31Speaker 1: the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor
- 0:33Speaker 1: sits in the seat of the scornful. The Bible says,
- 0:36Speaker 1: but his the law is l The light is in
- 0:38Speaker 1: the law of the Lord, and in his law he
- 0:40Speaker 1: meditates day and night. And then his great promise, Oh,
- 0:43Speaker 1: I love this Somnum one. He shall be like a
- 0:46Speaker 1: tree planted by the rivers of water, bringing for fruit
- 0:48Speaker 1: in season. His leaves shall not wither, and whatsoever he do,
- 0:52Speaker 1: it shall prosper.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Amen.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Thank God for his Holy Ghost, his spirit that leads
- 0:59Speaker 1: and guides us into truth. God that he orders our
- 1:02Speaker 1: steps in him.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Amen. Thank God.
- 1:04Speaker 1: It is he who has begun a good work in
- 1:07Speaker 1: us who were performing until the day of Jesus Christ.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Thank God that he never leaves us nor forsakes us.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Thank God that he is with us always, even until
- 1:18Speaker 1: the end. And so we are Amen, grateful to the
- 1:21Speaker 1: Lord again for another beautiful, glorious day that he has
- 1:25Speaker 1: allowed us to see this Friday, just before the day
- 1:29Speaker 1: of celebration of Christmas. And we welcome you once again
- 1:33Speaker 1: to this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries US,

- 2:05Speaker 1: not only a listener but a subscriber. Amen, and please
- 2:10Speaker 1: by all me and share it with someone else. We
- 2:12Speaker 1: also welcome you who are looking or viewing us by
- 2:15Speaker 1: way of our YouTube channel One Voice in the Wilderness
- 2:19Speaker 1: at one VW on YouTube the YouTube channel A man,
- 2:26Speaker 1: we are here, a man by the grace of God,
- 2:29Speaker 1: endeavoring as always to a man, speak the truth of
- 2:32Speaker 1: God in love. A man preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Preach the word Timothy. Was itmonished by his amen father
- 2:42Speaker 1: in the Gospel of the Apostle Paul to preach the
- 2:44Speaker 1: word be instant in season out of season, reproved, rebuke,
- 2:47Speaker 1: exhort with all suffering and doctrine, for the time will
- 2:51Speaker 1: come prophetically, it was spoken, it has happened, it is now.
- 2:56Speaker 1: The time has come when people do not want to
- 2:59Speaker 1: hear sound doctrine. But nevertheless, we as good soldiers of
- 3:04Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, are to endure hardness. And we certainly who
- 3:08Speaker 1: are called to amen preach the Gospel, must preach the
- 3:11Speaker 1: Word of God without compromise, and Amen, with no respect
- 3:16Speaker 1: of persons. Amen, Because what God says unto one, he
- 3:20Speaker 1: says unto all.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Amen.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And so we are admonished of the Lord Amen, to
- 3:26Speaker 1: hear the Word at his mouth. Obey, Amen, and then
- 3:31Speaker 1: the blessings of God will flow automatically. So we just
- 3:34Speaker 1: again grateful to the Lord for a man for keeping
- 3:37Speaker 1: us from day to day, week to week, month to month,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and almost through another calendar year, this year of twenty
- 3:43Speaker 1: twenty four, a man again, grateful to the Lord for
- 3:46Speaker 1: Amen this time and this season. And of course we're
- 3:49Speaker 1: in a series on God, Government, church and state. And
- 3:53Speaker 1: we've already stated from the outset that there is no separation. Amen,
- 3:58Speaker 1: there is no separation of God from government, God from
- 4:03Speaker 1: the state. God from the nations of the world, God
- 4:06Speaker 1: from the affairs of men. There is no separation. God
- 4:10Speaker 1: ruse in the kingdom of men. He watches over a man,
- 4:13Speaker 1: as I believe it was Ben when Franklin said, as
- 4:17Speaker 1: long as he's now lived, and I'm paraphrasing, of course,
- 4:20Speaker 1: a man he has come to realize that God governs
- 4:25Speaker 1: in the affairs of men. Not a sparrow falls to
- 4:28Speaker 1: the ground without his knowledge. So how in the world
- 4:31Speaker 1: can an empire rise and or fall without him knowing
- 4:36Speaker 1: about it? Not only knowing about it, but also being
- 4:39Speaker 1: intimately acquainted and involved with every aspect of our being.
- 4:46Speaker 1: And that is what Jesus himself said, a man, you
- 4:49Speaker 1: are of more value than sparrows. And if God again
- 4:52Speaker 1: pays attention to every sparrow a man, of course he's
- 4:58Speaker 1: watching over all of us, all that we do, the
- 5:01Speaker 1: good and the bad. And Jesus, by the way he
- 5:03Speaker 1: said it also that every idle word that men speak,
- 5:08Speaker 1: for example, Oh, my God, help us Jesus, we were
- 5:12Speaker 1: given account in the day of judgment. So Amen, let
- 5:15Speaker 1: the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
- 5:18Speaker 1: heart be acceptable in thy sight. Oh Lord, my strength
- 5:21Speaker 1: and my Redeemer. Let that be my prayer, as the
- 5:24Speaker 1: sums also prayed Amen. And we saw also that you
- 5:29Speaker 1: know we cannot have rogue governments. Rogue governments cannot survive,
- 5:34Speaker 1: cannot thrive, cannot prosper, cannot last. Amen in this world
- 5:41Speaker 1: because God again reigns and rules in the kingdom of men,
- 5:44Speaker 1: and any and all rogue governments must be and will be.
- 5:50Speaker 1: A man judged, a man by the Divine God will intervene.
- 5:56Speaker 1: God will judge a man because his words said, it
- 6:00Speaker 1: is righteousness that exalts a nation's sin as a reproach
- 6:04Speaker 1: to any people, a man in the wages of sin
- 6:07Speaker 1: being death. Of course, death comes to any nation or
- 6:11Speaker 1: people or government that is running a foul of the will,
- 6:16Speaker 1: and a man the word of God without a man repentance.
- 6:21Speaker 1: And God sends for the preacher, the prophet, the priests,
- 6:26Speaker 1: his people.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Amen to speak truth.
- 6:29Speaker 1: A man into a world that does not want to
- 6:34Speaker 1: obey God and will refuse to obey God unless they
- 6:39Speaker 1: are admonished to do so. And of course this manishment
- 6:42Speaker 1: comes in Psm number two, be wise, old kings of
- 6:45Speaker 1: the earth, kiss the son. Lets he be angry, and
- 6:49Speaker 1: you perish from the earth when his wrath is kindled
- 6:52Speaker 1: but a little, but on the other hand, blessed of
- 6:55Speaker 1: those who trust in Him. So we want to a man,
- 7:02Speaker 1: of course, as much as possible, living a nation, live
- 7:05Speaker 1: in a world where the governments of these nations, the
- 7:08Speaker 1: governments of this world, are a man, aligning themselves and
- 7:13Speaker 1: walking in the fear of God, aligning themselves with the
- 7:16Speaker 1: word of God.
- 7:17Speaker 2: A man.
- 7:17Speaker 1: We know, we understand we are living in a fallen
- 7:20Speaker 1: world with fallen men. And we're not saying that every
- 7:25Speaker 1: a man nation, or every every ruler is going to
- 7:28Speaker 1: be a saint of God. But far be it from
- 7:32Speaker 1: them to engage wholeheartedly in wickedness, because that will incur
- 7:38Speaker 1: the wrath of God. And by the way, the people
- 7:40Speaker 1: of God are manished to pray for those who are
- 7:42Speaker 1: in authority, that we might lead a peaceable life. And
- 7:46Speaker 1: so we have a responsibility and a duty there to
- 7:48Speaker 1: pray for those in God by the way has raised
- 7:51Speaker 1: up and permitted to be an authority. And we also
- 7:56Speaker 1: pointed out of course that these that rule and in
- 7:58Speaker 1: authority are thereby the a man will of God, the
- 8:03Speaker 1: permission permission of God if you will, and even God
- 8:07Speaker 1: raising them up, as it were, to sit on these thrones,
- 8:12Speaker 1: or to sit in these seats of judgment, to sit
- 8:14Speaker 1: in these seats of power. They are there by the
- 8:18Speaker 1: will of God, and they are there as His ministers.
- 8:21Speaker 1: By the way, again, doesn't mean that they are heaven bound,
- 8:24Speaker 1: but it certainly means that God has established government in
- 8:28Speaker 1: the earth, and those who are serving in government are
- 8:32Speaker 1: servants of His and they are a man duty bound
- 8:37Speaker 1: as all men are, to do the will of God,
- 8:40Speaker 1: to do what is good, to do what is right,
- 8:42Speaker 1: to do what is just. That of course includes just
- 8:47Speaker 1: laws a man, a man not doing what is abominable
- 8:52Speaker 1: and despicable in the eyes of the Lord.
- 8:54Speaker 2: A man.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Again, the Bible teaches that when the righteous rule, the
- 8:58Speaker 1: people rejoice. In other word words, when we have rulers,
- 9:01Speaker 1: when we have government, when we have leaders that are
- 9:04Speaker 1: doing what is right. That's what it means by righteousness,
- 9:07Speaker 1: doing what is right. When we have a government, what
- 9:10Speaker 1: does what is right, what enforces what is right a man,
- 9:15Speaker 1: then the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power,
- 9:18Speaker 1: when the wicked rule, when the wicked are a man, help.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Us, Jesus, Help us Jesus.
- 9:27Speaker 1: When the wicked are not only aligning with evil, but
- 9:35Speaker 1: promoting it.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Propagating it whatever. I mean.
- 9:40Speaker 1: We're in trouble when we're in a nation where wicked
- 9:45Speaker 1: rulers are bringing about all kinds of oppression upon the people,
- 9:51Speaker 1: because that's what happens, the Bible says, when the wicked
- 9:54Speaker 1: are empowerful in power. Rather, but what we want is
- 9:59Speaker 1: the kind of government that God has designed, God has desired,
- 10:05Speaker 1: God has purposed. And of course that only happens when
- 10:08Speaker 1: we the people, all of us, are obedient to the
- 10:13Speaker 1: word of the Living God. And oh, oh, oh, how
- 10:16Speaker 1: wonderful it would be to have an earthly government. That's
- 10:21Speaker 1: what we're going to be talking about today. How wonderful
- 10:24Speaker 1: it would be to have an earthly government that's governed
- 10:28Speaker 1: by a ruler or rulers, a man who is wonderful,
- 10:36Speaker 1: a wonderful counselor for example, a ruler who is mighty
- 10:40Speaker 1: in his power and authority, who would be able to
- 10:44Speaker 1: establish a government of everlasting peace.
- 10:48Speaker 2: For all people and all nations. Wouldn't that be wonderful.
- 10:52Speaker 1: That's what we're going to look at today. Wonderful government,
- 10:56Speaker 1: wonderful government. And by the way, it would be wonderful
- 11:01Speaker 1: to have that. But certainly we understand. I'm a realist,
- 11:06Speaker 1: I understand I read the Bible. Certainly I know enough
- 11:09Speaker 1: of history. I'm not a historian, but I know enough
- 11:12Speaker 1: of history. I know enough about the history of man
- 11:15Speaker 1: and the nature of man to know and to understand
- 11:18Speaker 1: that we're not going to have this kind of a
- 11:20Speaker 1: wonderful government in this present world. Again, the kings of
- 11:24Speaker 1: the earth are in alignment, are in agreement against God.
- 11:28Speaker 1: They don't want him to rule over them. They don't
- 11:31Speaker 1: want his word, they don't want his authority, they don't
- 11:34Speaker 1: want the yoke, as it were in their minds of
- 11:39Speaker 1: a man commands, his precepts, his principles, his laws to
- 11:45Speaker 1: a man regulate how they live and how they think,
- 11:49Speaker 1: and how.
- 11:50Speaker 2: A man move from day to day.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So they want to cast off the restraints, as they see.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Them, of God's law of God word.
- 12:00Speaker 1: And so we're not going to have that kind of
- 12:03Speaker 1: a wonderful government in our world. But the Word of
- 12:09Speaker 1: God makes a promise to us, and it comes, and
- 12:12Speaker 1: this is something we can certainly celebrate during this season.
- 12:15Speaker 1: And I want you to take you Bible, if you
- 12:17Speaker 1: have it, to go to Isaiah chapter nine, just a couple.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Of verses that we're going to look at. Amen.
- 12:22Speaker 1: But we need wonder no longer about this kind of
- 12:26Speaker 1: a wonderful government. We just need to a man wait patiently,
- 12:30Speaker 1: because this wonderful government of peace and prosperity with no end,
- 12:37Speaker 1: by the way a man, it will be revealed at
- 12:40Speaker 1: the appointed time. And the government of this wonderful kingdom
- 12:45Speaker 1: is already and forever established an eternity by the God
- 12:51Speaker 1: who created all things for his glory, for his honor,
- 12:54Speaker 1: for his majesty a man, and for his good pleasure.
- 12:58Speaker 1: So in light of this sea, of course, in which
- 13:01Speaker 1: we are in this season of celebration, we who celebrate
- 13:04Speaker 1: the coming of Jesus Christ into this world. We're in
- 13:07Speaker 1: this season of celebration Christ being born into this world
- 13:12Speaker 1: of the virgin birth a man. This season is a
- 13:16Speaker 1: wonderful opportunity for all mankind, especially again for those of
- 13:20Speaker 1: us who are a man living with this hope within us.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Is wonderful for us to a man to look at
- 13:30Speaker 1: the promise of this government, this kingdom, that God has
- 13:35Speaker 1: a man already a man made certain by the incarnation,
- 13:41Speaker 1: that it is coming a man to fruition, just as
- 13:45Speaker 1: the scriptures have all prophesied Isaiah nine. Listen, this is prophetic.
- 13:50Speaker 1: It was prophetic at the time the prophet Isaiah spoke
- 13:54Speaker 1: these words, or they were a man given to him
- 13:57Speaker 1: Isaiah nine.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Six.
- 13:59Speaker 1: You're familiar with it, these two verses a man from
- 14:03Speaker 1: Isaiah nine. For unto us, a child is born, unto us,
- 14:09Speaker 1: a son is given. Listen to what the Bible says.
- 14:14Speaker 1: And the government will be upon his shoulder, and his
- 14:20Speaker 1: name will be called wonderful counselor Mighty God, everlasting Father,
- 14:29Speaker 1: Prince of peace. But listen that verse number seven, of
- 14:32Speaker 1: the increase of his government and peace. There will be
- 14:39Speaker 1: no end upon the throne of David and over his
- 14:44Speaker 1: kingdom to order it and establish it with judgment or
- 14:50Speaker 1: I love this and justice. From that time forward, even forever,
- 14:57Speaker 1: the zeal of the Lord of will perform this.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Hey man woo.
- 15:05Speaker 1: It's already begun, because the son that was promised has
- 15:10Speaker 1: already come. The child that was born, the incarnation, the
- 15:13Speaker 1: child that was spoken of, that came by way of
- 15:16Speaker 1: the Virgin, that conceived by the miraculous power of the
- 15:20Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, has already come some two thousand years ago.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Jesus to Christ, the King of kings and Lord of Lords,
- 15:28Speaker 1: who was born by the way the King. He was
- 15:31Speaker 1: not crowned the king, he was not made the king.
- 15:34Speaker 1: He was born King of the Jews. So as we
- 15:38Speaker 1: celebrate in this season the coming of the Messiah into
- 15:41Speaker 1: the world of fallen manned again by way of this
- 15:46Speaker 1: incarnation miraculous birth.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Amen.
- 15:49Speaker 1: He came, of course by the way to save us. Amen,
- 15:53Speaker 1: to save his people from their sins. To deliver us
- 15:56Speaker 1: from the power of death, the power of Savan, power
- 15:58Speaker 1: of self, the power of the grave, from the fear
- 16:01Speaker 1: of all things that would a man haunt us or
- 16:05Speaker 1: press us possess us. God has come to deliver us
- 16:09Speaker 1: a man. And it is through Jesus to Christ.
- 16:12Speaker 2: And so.
- 16:14Speaker 1: May we all be mindful of the fact that his
- 16:18Speaker 1: first advent is the beginning and not the end, of
- 16:24Speaker 1: his rule on the throne of his father David. Remember
- 16:29Speaker 1: there were those even during the ministry of Jesus who
- 16:32Speaker 1: referred to him as the son of David. He is
- 16:35Speaker 1: the rightful heir, He is the forever heir, a man,
- 16:39Speaker 1: and the one who carries forth a man. The eternal
- 16:44Speaker 1: or the eternality of the Davidic covenant that God made
- 16:49Speaker 1: to David that forever there would be a king sitting
- 16:53Speaker 1: on the throne. Amen, the throne of David. And who
- 16:57Speaker 1: is that?
- 16:57Speaker 2: That's Jesus. Amen. Now he came down.
- 17:00Speaker 1: To us as a child. He came again through the
- 17:03Speaker 1: miraculous virgin birth. He came down to us as the
- 17:07Speaker 1: son of the Highest. He came down to us with
- 17:10Speaker 1: a mission. He came with a mission to fulfill all
- 17:13Speaker 1: that was written of him. And he came down to
- 17:15Speaker 1: us with a pre destined date with death. Also a
- 17:21Speaker 1: man with death, a man with the grave by which
- 17:26Speaker 1: and over which he rather triumphed, A man when he rose.
- 17:30Speaker 2: A man on the third day, a man.
- 17:33Speaker 1: He came down to us with a name. The Bible
- 17:36Speaker 1: says that name is above every name.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Amen. And he came down to us with a man.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Prophetic names that the Isaiah nine chap Six, Chapter nine,
- 17:50Speaker 1: verses sixty seven spoke of a man. These prophetic names
- 17:54Speaker 1: were descriptive a man of his government, a man that
- 17:59Speaker 1: will be too wonderful, a man for us to contemplate
- 18:05Speaker 1: to comprehend, a man in our of you know, finite minds,
- 18:10Speaker 1: we cannot even begin to.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Can you?
- 18:13Speaker 1: Can you even imagine that we would have a government.
- 18:17Speaker 1: I'm talking about a permanent government, a government of permanent
- 18:22Speaker 1: peace and joy and happiness, and justice and righteousness.
- 18:28Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine.
- 18:29Speaker 1: That where justice, we had real justice, we had real righteousness,
- 18:35Speaker 1: we had real goodness, we had real wholesomeness, we had
- 18:40Speaker 1: obedience and compliance.
- 18:42Speaker 2: I mean, what kind of whoo?
- 18:46Speaker 1: What a wonderful But see, it all begins with the
- 18:50Speaker 1: wonderful and powerful rule of the King of Kings and
- 18:54Speaker 1: the Lord of Lord. And this is what this is
- 18:56Speaker 1: what is promised by the way of His I let
- 19:00Speaker 1: me read it again. By the way, let me I'm sorry,
- 19:01Speaker 1: let me go back up and read it again, verse
- 19:03Speaker 1: number seven of the increase of His government. We're talking
- 19:07Speaker 1: about the government of Jesus, the Christ, the King, the
- 19:10Speaker 1: child who is born, the son who is given upon
- 19:14Speaker 1: whose shoulder the government is a man. The Bible says,
- 19:17Speaker 1: his name shall be called wonderful counsel of Mighty God,
- 19:20Speaker 1: everolescent Father, Prince of Peace, God in human flesh, the incarnation,
- 19:25Speaker 1: the increase, the Bible says, of his government and peace.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Will be endless. There will be no end. We're talking
- 19:35Speaker 2: he turned.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Can you imagine, oh, my God, who if we had
- 19:41Speaker 1: that kind of government, even a microcosm of that kind
- 19:45Speaker 1: of government. But he's coming, and he's going to sit
- 19:50Speaker 1: on the throne as the king of kings. And by
- 19:53Speaker 1: the way, he's already seated at the right hand of
- 19:55Speaker 1: the Majesty on High, and he reigns even now in
- 19:59Speaker 1: the Kingdom of men. And the time is coming. Oh
- 20:01Speaker 1: I'm getting to that just a minute. But but again
- 20:04Speaker 1: he came down. Amen, Amen, and and and and the
- 20:11Speaker 1: description of who he is, his name shall be called wonderful.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Amen.
- 20:18Speaker 1: That's I mean that this kind of government, that's that's wonderful. Amen,
- 20:23Speaker 1: from the one who is the wonder. He's a wonder
- 20:26Speaker 1: to behold, he works wonders, Amen. And that is going
- 20:30Speaker 1: to be a wonder, by the way, to behold. When
- 20:33Speaker 1: that kind of government, where the lion will lay down
- 20:37Speaker 1: with the lamb, there would be no war, no more swords,
- 20:43Speaker 1: no more uh weapons of warfare, but peace.
- 20:49Speaker 2: The Bible says there will be no end to it.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Oh, my God help us Lord, amen, because because listen,
- 20:58Speaker 1: this is going to be a government of the Divine
- 21:01Speaker 1: Counsel that cannot be compromised, It cannot be corrupted. It
- 21:06Speaker 1: cannot be coerced. It cannot be and will not be
- 21:10Speaker 1: controlled by greed or lust, or power or ulterior motives,
- 21:17Speaker 1: none of that, no bribery. Oh God help us. Amen.
- 21:22Speaker 1: The Mighty God himself is the supreme sovereign ruler over
- 21:27Speaker 1: this kingdom, over this government.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Amen. That is coming. Amen. And again what the Bible.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Says, the increase of it will have no end.
- 21:35Speaker 2: It's just gonna.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Flourish and flourish and flourish forevermore.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Amen.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And seeing that God is Jesus Christ, Amen, incarnate, God incarnate,
- 21:48Speaker 1: seeing that he is the everlasting Father, who was, who is,
- 21:51Speaker 1: and who is to come, A man who has declared
- 21:54Speaker 1: at the end from the beginning, the one, a man
- 21:57Speaker 1: whose counsel stands forever.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Amen.
- 22:00Speaker 1: There is, by the way, of course, no one or
- 22:04Speaker 1: nothing uh that can disturb, that can disrupt, that can
- 22:08Speaker 1: dis annul what he has already decreed.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Amen.
- 22:15Speaker 1: It again, it's she's gonna be such a such a
- 22:18Speaker 1: wonder to behold. Because what we as the people of
- 22:21Speaker 1: God know and should believe and grasp and take hold
- 22:24Speaker 1: by faith and live by faith in it, of course,
- 22:27Speaker 1: is that this government already exists in eternity, Amen. And
- 22:37Speaker 1: of course that's outside of our sphere of time and
- 22:40Speaker 1: space in which we are confined. But it's already it's
- 22:44Speaker 1: already in existence. And that's why Jesus taught us to pray,
- 22:47Speaker 1: what thy Kingdom come and die, will be done on earth, just.
- 22:52Speaker 2: As it is in heaven. And that time is coming.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Oh yes.
- 22:56Speaker 1: And so this is why I love this prophecy of
- 22:58Speaker 1: Isaiah a man nine and six. And again during this season,
- 23:02Speaker 1: we certainly should a man celebrate a man the birth
- 23:06Speaker 1: of Jesus, the coming of Jesus into this world. The
- 23:09Speaker 1: Bible says, joy to the world. Joy, Amen, Peace on earth,
- 23:13Speaker 1: and goodwill toward men. Joy has come. Peace has come.
- 23:17Speaker 1: God came to make peace with men. And that's how
- 23:19Speaker 1: we have peace. By the way Romans chapter five tells us.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Now we have.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Peace, Amen, with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by
- 23:28Speaker 1: whom we have received the atonement because of his sacrifice,
- 23:31Speaker 1: because of his dying in our place. Amen, because he
- 23:35Speaker 1: shed his blood for the remission of our sins. Now
- 23:38Speaker 1: we can be at peace with God.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Amen.
- 23:41Speaker 1: And so this promise of Isaiah's prophecy does not, by
- 23:46Speaker 1: the way, pertain just to the nation of Israel, Amen,
- 23:49Speaker 1: because the Bible says for unto us, unto us. No,
- 23:52Speaker 1: it's not just for Israel, Amen. But it is the
- 23:57Speaker 1: promise of a government of this Messiah that will extend
- 24:02Speaker 1: far beyond the mere borders of Israel. A man to
- 24:07Speaker 1: the limitless, a man expanse of all that is in creation.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Because remember the Bible tells us a book of Colossians,
- 24:15Speaker 1: he is the head of all principalities and powers.
- 24:18Speaker 2: A man.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Nothing is above him, a man, all of the angels,
- 24:23Speaker 1: a man, all of creation. A man is subjected unto him,
- 24:28Speaker 1: seen and unseen, known and unknown.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Amen. The government of Jesus.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Is eternally in its existence, It already is. I mean,
- 24:39Speaker 1: we're going to see the manifestation of it. We're gonna
- 24:42Speaker 1: be partakers of it. And as a matter of fact,
- 24:44Speaker 1: the Bible says we will reign and rule with him
- 24:47Speaker 1: as kings and priests.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Amen.
- 24:50Speaker 1: The increase of his government will involve I believe, every
- 24:56Speaker 1: knee bowing and every tongue confessing that he is Lord.
- 25:01Speaker 1: We will cast our crowns before his feet.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Amen, every knee, every need will bow. Of course, peace
- 25:11Speaker 1: again in his government will have no end. He's going
- 25:15Speaker 1: to sit on the throne of David, Amen, reigning over
- 25:19Speaker 1: his kingdom.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:21Speaker 1: In this kingdom that is already ordered, that's already established.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:26Speaker 1: With listen, justice and judgment, righteous judgment, a man, Just
- 25:33Speaker 1: judge justice, if you will, Amen. And it's forever Amen,
- 25:39Speaker 1: because it has been ordained, decreed, Amen, and it is irrevocable.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Where God is spoken, it shall come to pass.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Amen.
- 25:50Speaker 1: It's been determined, an eternity passed, and it's again already done.
- 25:56Speaker 1: So the hour is coming, the hour is nearing, and
- 26:00Speaker 1: time will be no more, and we will a man
- 26:05Speaker 1: enter into eternity where that kingdom will be a reality
- 26:10Speaker 1: a man.
- 26:11Speaker 2: And I think about you know when Adam and Eve.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Of course we were not made to die, We were
- 26:16Speaker 1: not created to die, and we are still eternal creatures.
- 26:20Speaker 1: But we have to pass from this mortal body in
- 26:23Speaker 1: which we are now living because of sin. Sin has
- 26:28Speaker 1: brought on the curse of death. And so because of
- 26:31Speaker 1: our love affair, if you will, and our nature of sin,
- 26:38Speaker 1: this mortal body in which we all live, these mortal
- 26:41Speaker 1: bodies in which we all live, must pass on to
- 26:46Speaker 1: death because the wages of sin is death. All have
- 26:49Speaker 1: sin and falling short of the glory of God. And
- 26:51Speaker 1: so therefore we die a man of mortal death.
- 26:55Speaker 2: But that is not the end.
- 26:59Speaker 1: That is not the in that tree of life. That
- 27:02Speaker 1: was that we were barred from.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Adam and Eve.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Remember in the Book of Genesis they were barred from
- 27:09Speaker 1: re entering the garden. The Bible says, lest they put
- 27:13Speaker 1: forth their hand and eat of the tree of life
- 27:15Speaker 1: and live forever.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Well, guess what in paradise.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Well do you think we're gonna have access to? Oh,
- 27:23Speaker 1: they're gonna be all kinds of trees, the Bible says,
- 27:26Speaker 1: for the healing of the nations. But also there will
- 27:30Speaker 1: be the.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Tree of life.
- 27:33Speaker 1: We're gonna have access again, if you will, to the
- 27:36Speaker 1: tree of life, and we will live forever. Amen, Because
- 27:41Speaker 1: this this kingdom, this government, this this this this government
- 27:45Speaker 1: that God has established. Amen, it's already there. It's already awaiting.
- 27:50Speaker 1: And again the hour is nearing when we were we will,
- 27:53Speaker 1: we will, we will, we will. Man, How can you
- 27:57Speaker 1: even I mean, it's it's gonna happened. The Bible speaks,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and we talk about the rapture of the church. For example,
- 28:04Speaker 1: where in a moment in the twinkling of an eye.
- 28:06Speaker 1: There's going to be a transformation that takes place. We're
- 28:09Speaker 1: going to be changed. We're going to put on the
- 28:13Speaker 1: immortal from the mortal, a man, the incorruptible from the corruptible.
- 28:19Speaker 2: The Bible says, we're going.
- 28:21Speaker 1: To be changed, and it's all going to happen. It's
- 28:23Speaker 1: all going to happen, transpire in a moment, in the
- 28:25Speaker 1: twinkling of an eye, because at that instant.
- 28:29Speaker 2: We are a man.
- 28:31Speaker 1: We're moving from the sphere of this time in which
- 28:37Speaker 1: we are confined to the a man eternal. And when
- 28:42Speaker 1: we get into the eternal, a man, there.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Is no yesterday. There is no today, there's no tomorrow,
- 28:48Speaker 2: There's only I mean, we can't we can't fathom it.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I can't fathom it.
- 28:52Speaker 1: I can't because we are so governed and dominated by time.
- 28:56Speaker 1: And so we're talking about an everlasting government that is
- 29:00Speaker 1: a wonderful by the one who is wonderful, a wonderful government,
- 29:07Speaker 1: a wonderful reign, a wonderful dominion that is never going
- 29:12Speaker 1: to end. The Bible tells us that his kingdom Amen
- 29:18Speaker 1: is from generation to generation. His dominion is an everlasting dominion.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Amen. Of course, that means it will never pass away.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Jesus said, heaven and earth, it's going to pass, but
- 29:30Speaker 1: my word, and he's spoken it. He's decreed, it's not
- 29:33Speaker 1: going to pass.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Amen.
- 29:35Speaker 1: So this is the wonderful government, Amen, that is promised
- 29:39Speaker 1: to us. It's already in the coming of Jesus Christ,
- 29:44Speaker 1: in the incarnation. Amen, to come to save us, to
- 29:48Speaker 1: deliver us. It's already underway.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Amen.
- 29:51Speaker 1: That's what John the Baptists came preaching. That's what Jesus
- 29:54Speaker 1: came preaching. Repent for the what kingdom of Heaven.
- 29:59Speaker 2: Is at hand.
- 30:00Speaker 1: It's already here. This is the wonderful government of the
- 30:07Speaker 1: Wonderful counselor the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the principiece
- 30:11Speaker 1: that we so long for, that we are looking for.
- 30:14Speaker 1: That we are commanded by the Way to pray for pray.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Jesus says, Thy Kingdom Come. Thy will be done on
- 30:23Speaker 1: earth as it is in heaven. So even so we pray,
- 30:29Speaker 1: Come Lord Jesus. Amen, God bless you in the name
- 30:34Speaker 1: of Jesus.
