• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Testament Prophecies. We'll get into that in just a moment,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but first I'd like to say welcome to you and
• 1:05

  Speaker 2: and then we will get underway. Father, we thank you
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: for this new Sabbath morning and for the privilege you've
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: entrusted to us to be together in this manner so
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: early in the morning, at least where I am. Thank
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you for giving us your word. And I pray now
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that we will receive your Holy Spirit too, and then
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: see what you would have us to do in Jesus name.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, and so fulfilling
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Old Testament prophecies. Let me read beginning at John chapter
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: five and verse thirty six. John chapter five and verse
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: thirty six reads, But I have a greater witness than
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: John's for the works which the Father has given me
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to finish. The very works that I do bear witness
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of me that the Father hath sent me. The Father
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: hath sent me. Jesus is on planet Earth, the Bible
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: teaches us, for God so loved the world that he
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: should not perish, but have everlasting life. So Jesus was
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: given to us all of heaven in one gift by
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: God the Father. And it was it was Paul who
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: said in Galatians chapter four and verse four, when the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: made of a woman, made under the law, to fulfill
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the things that are under the law, that we shall
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: be called the We shall be called the through the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: option of sons, you see. So through Christ, through Christ,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: we are now adopted into the family of God. We
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: are now adopted into the family of God. And this
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: was prophesied by so many in the Old Testament we
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: now call the Old Testament, you see. And so it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: no surprise that we can be saved through the Messiah's work.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It is no surprise that there is forgiveness for those
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: who keep covenant with him. It is no surprise that
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: we are now the sons and daughters of God. But
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: we're looking forward to a day that we will receive
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a name that is greater and better than of sons
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and the daughters. It is a name that will remain forever.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Why because the prophets of the Old Testament they shared
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this before time, you see. And I'm thankful, I'm thankful,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and so what we're going to do is look at
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: some of these throughout the week. But let me just
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: begin by giving a few tips, okay, a few guide
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: lines for us. Number One, study the scriptures deeply. Study
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the scriptures deeply, because in the scriptures we find the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: testimony of Jesus Christ. Can I say it this way?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: From John chapter five and verse thirty nine, Jesus speaking
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to the so called people of God who chose to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: be his enemy. Search the scriptures. You do that, that's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: what you do. You search the scriptures because in them
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: ye think, ye have eternal life. You think, but by
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: your studying, you think, by what you can see in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the scriptures. You think, by being able to master the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: words and memorize them, put them on your heads, around
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: your wrists, wear them on your bodies. You feel like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: this is the way to have eternal life. But let
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: me just give you a little tip here, a secret.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: They testify of me. So the scriptures, the prophecies. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: scriptures and the prophecies all point to Jesus, and so
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: we should study. And it is our privilege to study
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the scriptures deeply. But when we're studying the scriptures, we're
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: looking for a connection with God through Christ. When we
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: study the scriptures, we're looking for a connection with God
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: through Christ. Thank God. Now we move to verse thirty
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: six of the same chapter John chapter five, and the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, but I have greater witness than that of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: John for the works which the Father hath given me
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to finish. Finish. That means that the work started already. Okay,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the same works that I do bear witness of me
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that the Father hath sent me. So Jesus pre existed
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the time that he lived on planet Earth. The prophecies
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: foretold that Messiah, who is equal to God, our Father,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: who is eternal, that same one will take on human
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: flesh in order to save us from our sins. This
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is a fulfillment of so many prophecies, but one would
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: be in Micah chapter five and verse two, and in
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Daniel chapter nine. During the seventy weeks of years prophecy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: So the one who was equal to the Father, he
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: volunteered to come on planet Earth in human form, the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: theanthropic one, one hundred percent God, one hundred percent human,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: so that we can be saved. Great, the Bible says,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: is the mystery of godliness that God took on human
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: form in the person of Jesus Christ, so that we
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: could be saved. And I'm thankful. So we recognize and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: revere the actual works of Jesus Christ. We recognize and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: revere what God did in order to save us. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of course, of course, in John chapter one and verse ten,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the Bible says he Jesus was in the world and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the world was made by him. Did you get that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Jesus actually created the world made by him and the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: world knew him not? Can you imagine the one who
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: created them, the one who created us, the one who
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: created all things animate and inanimate, visible and invisible. Jesus Christ,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the Son of God and God the Son. He comes
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: down to planet Earth and those he created him whom
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: he created, many of them did not believe, did not believe.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So we need the Holy Ghost to open to our
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: hearts understanding. Spiritually speaking, we need spiritual understanding that only
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: God can give, so that when we are seeing the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: prophecies all fulfilling, that we get what God intended for
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: us to get and not make up creepy, scary stuff
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: in order to try to frighten people into the kingdom,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: but to embrace and say, like some of the disciples
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like this is the Christ, this is the Messiah, of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: whom the prophets spoke. We found him, aren't you glad
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: we found him in these last days of whom the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: prophets spoke. And of course one writer and inspiration, Missus White,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: she said, she said that we have no fear of
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the future, for the future, except that we forget how
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: God has led us in the past. And so in
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that vein we read verse forty of John chapter five,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and ye will not come to me that ye may
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: have life. See, there was reluctance from some of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: people so called people of God prior to this moment
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: in time recorded in John chapter five, and based on
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: those errors and huge spiritual mistakes, people are still making decisions.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: When when Saul was holding the garments when they were
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: stoning Stephen, he believed based on based on what the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: people before him had said, that Jesus was not who
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he said he was. What the Bible is teaching us
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: is that we need to learn from our past mistakes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: You won't come to me because somebody before you didn't
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: come to me. You won't come to me because you're
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: choosing to doubt rather than to believe what the scriptures
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: said about me. You will not come to me because
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you are repeating the errors of the past. And of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: course we have the privilege of embracing humility. And John
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: chapter seven and verse seventeen. The Bible says, if anybody
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is willing to do God's will, then he will know
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of the doctrine the Bible teachings, whether they be of
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: God or whether I speak Jesus speaking of myself. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful that the prophecies of the Old Testament pointed
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: to the ultimate Son of God.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
