1
00:00:00,755 --> 00:00:02,107
Praise, we're gonna miss you guys.

2
00:00:04,333 --> 00:00:05,684
But a lot of I don't people visit

3
00:00:05,684 --> 00:00:07,116
lot. So hopefully so we'll see you guys

4
00:00:07,116 --> 00:00:07,434
visiting.

5
00:00:08,324 --> 00:00:10,242
I visited over there. I got church family

6
00:00:10,242 --> 00:00:11,921
over there with my brother's brother sisters in

7
00:00:11,921 --> 00:00:12,081
and

8
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:14,958
flesh and blood, which is also Church family

9
00:00:14,958 --> 00:00:16,556
over there, and I'll probably be there at

10
00:00:16,556 --> 00:00:17,435
the end of the year a little bit.

11
00:00:18,250 --> 00:00:20,089
You guys should waited until after July.

12
00:00:22,009 --> 00:00:23,369
I just did doctor to Joe Pi, he

13
00:00:23,369 --> 00:00:25,129
goes, it's been a hundred and 4 for

14
00:00:25,129 --> 00:00:25,849
a months straight.

15
00:00:26,822 --> 00:00:29,056
Eat hot. But it cools off. You know,

16
00:00:29,215 --> 00:00:31,050
It'll little cool off. So when we're still

17
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:32,166
hot, that'll get cool over there.

18
00:00:33,044 --> 00:00:34,001
So load is good. Amen.

19
00:00:35,676 --> 00:00:35,915
Alright.

20
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:37,289
First Timothy,

21
00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:38,490
chapter 6.

22
00:00:39,289 --> 00:00:41,609
The name of this message is 3 great

23
00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:42,109
reasons

24
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:43,850
to praise the Lord.

25
00:00:44,901 --> 00:00:46,356
3 huge reasons

26
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:49,516
or great reasons to praise the Lord,

27
00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:51,130
and

28
00:00:51,998 --> 00:00:53,666
We've got a few more studies or so,

29
00:00:53,905 --> 00:00:55,732
3 or 4 more studies, then we're done

30
00:00:55,732 --> 00:00:56,527
with First Timothy,

31
00:00:57,162 --> 00:00:59,149
Lord Willing. I'm gonna say, I think so.

32
00:00:59,307 --> 00:01:00,102
We'll see what happens.

33
00:01:00,674 --> 00:01:02,349
But what is the amazing book we have

34
00:01:02,349 --> 00:01:02,508
here.

35
00:01:03,226 --> 00:01:05,938
And in first Timothy, chapter 6, we're gonna

36
00:01:05,938 --> 00:01:08,570
be covering versus... Week... We've looked at 13

37
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:10,426
and a little verse 12, and

38
00:01:10,739 --> 00:01:12,892
in some depth last week, and then we

39
00:01:12,892 --> 00:01:14,089
looked at verse 13 a little bit,

40
00:01:15,285 --> 00:01:16,880
and even jumped into, you know,

41
00:01:18,156 --> 00:01:19,752
13 and then even in 14 a little

42
00:01:19,752 --> 00:01:21,914
bit as well. But I didn't... There was

43
00:01:21,914 --> 00:01:22,947
a lot of meat on the bone that

44
00:01:23,106 --> 00:01:25,648
I left, which I want to go over

45
00:01:25,648 --> 00:01:27,260
with you guys. And

46
00:01:28,284 --> 00:01:29,633
go in more depth, and then we'll cover

47
00:01:29,633 --> 00:01:30,981
more of a solid weight to verse 16.

48
00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:31,695
Lord willing.

49
00:01:32,410 --> 00:01:34,314
And me, Obeying, if it's as well that

50
00:01:34,314 --> 00:01:35,345
we get through that all,

51
00:01:36,314 --> 00:01:38,547
but verse 12, and I won't say a

52
00:01:38,547 --> 00:01:39,823
whole lot about verse 12, but it'll come

53
00:01:39,823 --> 00:01:40,541
up a couple times,

54
00:01:41,259 --> 00:01:43,333
but this is this amazing verse,

55
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:45,406
fight the good fight of faith.

56
00:01:46,298 --> 00:01:48,369
Let take hold of eternal life,

57
00:01:49,404 --> 00:01:50,200
which you were called,

58
00:01:51,235 --> 00:01:52,111
to which you were called.

59
00:01:52,908 --> 00:01:55,154
And you made a good confession in the

60
00:01:55,154 --> 00:01:56,752
presence of many witnesses. Is of course, the

61
00:01:56,752 --> 00:01:59,070
apostle Paul is ready to the young pastor

62
00:01:59,229 --> 00:01:59,549
Timothy,

63
00:02:00,108 --> 00:02:02,825
and he's encouraging him to fight the good

64
00:02:02,825 --> 00:02:04,918
fight of faith Ae gh is a Greek

65
00:02:04,918 --> 00:02:07,475
word. So where we get ago from, and

66
00:02:07,555 --> 00:02:09,153
I'm not gonna go through everything we talked

67
00:02:09,153 --> 00:02:11,150
about last week if you didn't catch that

68
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:12,679
that message wanna see what it means to

69
00:02:12,679 --> 00:02:14,589
fight the good fight of faith. That would

70
00:02:14,589 --> 00:02:15,306
help you because,

71
00:02:16,022 --> 00:02:17,932
that was a message that ties into this

72
00:02:17,932 --> 00:02:20,240
message. And you'll find out more about fighting

73
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,088
the good fight of faith Now even though

74
00:02:22,088 --> 00:02:22,966
we looked at this verse,

75
00:02:24,003 --> 00:02:25,839
it would... You know, I'd be remiss if

76
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,196
I didn't read it again and talk about

77
00:02:27,196 --> 00:02:28,713
it because otherwise you're not gonna get the

78
00:02:28,713 --> 00:02:30,562
context of the verses that come up, because

79
00:02:30,562 --> 00:02:32,969
it's a unit of thought. So Paul is

80
00:02:33,026 --> 00:02:33,900
challenging Timothy,

81
00:02:34,456 --> 00:02:37,000
charging Timothy. Fight the good fight of faith.

82
00:02:37,238 --> 00:02:38,669
It's not just fighting for the sake of

83
00:02:38,669 --> 00:02:38,907
fighting.

84
00:02:39,798 --> 00:02:41,234
It's fighting for the sake. It's fighting for

85
00:02:41,234 --> 00:02:43,706
your faith. Amen. Your personal faith in Lord

86
00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:46,338
Jesus Christ. Fighting for the faith, the body

87
00:02:46,338 --> 00:02:47,296
of Christian doctrine,

88
00:02:48,173 --> 00:02:48,891
and it's a fight.

89
00:02:49,464 --> 00:02:52,323
Ago is related to the word ae there.

90
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:53,379
Ago.

91
00:02:53,912 --> 00:02:54,945
Ago for the truth.

92
00:02:55,898 --> 00:02:57,646
And if you are not ago agonizing for

93
00:02:57,646 --> 00:02:59,884
the truth and ago agonizing to stay head

94
00:02:59,884 --> 00:03:02,106
steadfast in your faith. You will peter out.

95
00:03:03,059 --> 00:03:05,122
You'll be a casualty of spiritual war eventually.

96
00:03:05,916 --> 00:03:07,761
It's not about it is very important to

97
00:03:07,761 --> 00:03:08,877
put on the full arm of God a

98
00:03:08,877 --> 00:03:09,994
amen that you may be able to stand

99
00:03:09,994 --> 00:03:10,632
in the evil day.

100
00:03:11,748 --> 00:03:13,343
Amen. But when you put on the full

101
00:03:13,343 --> 00:03:15,256
arm god understand, there's gonna be some agonizing

102
00:03:15,256 --> 00:03:17,898
going on. There's be agonizing times in your

103
00:03:17,898 --> 00:03:19,568
life when your flesh wants you to have...

104
00:03:19,727 --> 00:03:20,920
Wants to have victory over you.

105
00:03:21,795 --> 00:03:23,386
When the world, the flesh in the devil,

106
00:03:23,466 --> 00:03:25,948
your 3 main enemies. They're always... We're always

107
00:03:25,948 --> 00:03:27,700
at war with the world system, the the

108
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:28,973
lies that are from the pit of hell.

109
00:03:29,929 --> 00:03:31,999
You ever noticed the media, especially the mainstream

110
00:03:31,999 --> 00:03:34,082
media is just constantly promoting lies.

111
00:03:34,878 --> 00:03:36,628
And it's all like, almost like they're locks

112
00:03:36,628 --> 00:03:37,264
stepped together,

113
00:03:38,139 --> 00:03:39,570
and you just scratch your head, and it's

114
00:03:39,570 --> 00:03:41,320
like, the world doesn't really What's going on.

115
00:03:41,574 --> 00:03:42,606
Because most of the world's just to see

116
00:03:42,606 --> 00:03:44,432
by. They don't know it. Yeah. You know?

117
00:03:45,147 --> 00:03:47,132
But it's just so clear to us.

118
00:03:48,006 --> 00:03:49,276
And it's like they all get their marching

119
00:03:49,276 --> 00:03:51,278
orders from the same demonic realm. They do

120
00:03:51,278 --> 00:03:51,915
for the most part.

121
00:03:52,871 --> 00:03:54,544
And you can get frustrated or you can

122
00:03:54,544 --> 00:03:55,579
say, you know what? I need fight the

123
00:03:55,579 --> 00:03:58,288
good fight. I remember why I'm here. I'm

124
00:03:58,288 --> 00:03:59,722
here to stand it for the Gospel Jesus

125
00:03:59,801 --> 00:04:00,040
Christ.

126
00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:02,276
I'm praying Hall would be thy name. The

127
00:04:02,355 --> 00:04:03,861
Thy kingdom come By will be done. And

128
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:05,208
I know he's gonna resolve it all with

129
00:04:05,208 --> 00:04:07,348
his reign. Amen. So I don't lose heart.

130
00:04:07,839 --> 00:04:10,174
So I fight the good fight of faith

131
00:04:10,552 --> 00:04:12,068
for the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.

132
00:04:12,387 --> 00:04:13,584
Your personal faith in him.

133
00:04:14,701 --> 00:04:17,592
Amen? Enemy attacks you say Lord, I trust

134
00:04:17,592 --> 00:04:19,350
help me to keep trusting. Help my trust

135
00:04:19,350 --> 00:04:21,348
to grow. Help my trust not to wan.

136
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:24,705
When you're the enemy attacks sound doctrine,

137
00:04:25,278 --> 00:04:27,343
the the the body of truth that you

138
00:04:27,343 --> 00:04:29,170
see in you read scripture, you know, budget

139
00:04:29,170 --> 00:04:29,805
inch. Amen.

140
00:04:30,917 --> 00:04:32,903
When you have post modern is attacking the

141
00:04:32,903 --> 00:04:36,188
bible. We have liberal professors attacking god's word

142
00:04:36,268 --> 00:04:38,264
And and say, no, no. We... Yeah. Yeah.

143
00:04:38,424 --> 00:04:40,499
I believe the Bible, but it accepts, you

144
00:04:40,499 --> 00:04:43,149
know, gay marriage and gay pastors and we

145
00:04:43,149 --> 00:04:44,346
we need to be accepting of all this,

146
00:04:44,506 --> 00:04:46,422
and and, you know, and and it's okay

147
00:04:46,422 --> 00:04:47,699
to kill little baby in the womb, because,

148
00:04:47,779 --> 00:04:49,056
you know, we don't even know when they

149
00:04:49,056 --> 00:04:51,132
really are alive. So it's okay. When you

150
00:04:51,132 --> 00:04:53,144
start hearing those lies, you need to fight

151
00:04:53,144 --> 00:04:53,785
for the truth.

152
00:04:55,464 --> 00:04:55,964
But

153
00:04:56,345 --> 00:04:58,365
those truths, while those are important

154
00:04:58,745 --> 00:05:00,199
applications of truth in and the scripture, You

155
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,316
need to take a stand for the fact

156
00:05:01,316 --> 00:05:03,391
that Jesus is God. Amen. That was born

157
00:05:03,391 --> 00:05:05,386
of a virgin that God the father through

158
00:05:05,625 --> 00:05:07,540
Christ is a creator of all things, Amen.

159
00:05:08,034 --> 00:05:09,872
That Christ rose again on the third day

160
00:05:09,872 --> 00:05:11,391
that were saved by grace through faith and

161
00:05:11,391 --> 00:05:12,989
not through keeping the law of Moses. Amen,

162
00:05:13,788 --> 00:05:15,386
and that Jesus was not only born of

163
00:05:15,386 --> 00:05:17,040
a virgin, but he was born

164
00:05:17,479 --> 00:05:19,716
as a as a man, as the God

165
00:05:19,716 --> 00:05:21,314
man. A real man. Man, not just an

166
00:05:21,314 --> 00:05:21,794
app operation,

167
00:05:22,593 --> 00:05:24,431
but he wasn't born from Joseph Mary.

168
00:05:25,804 --> 00:05:27,023
Joseph was his

169
00:05:27,642 --> 00:05:30,519
step father so to speak. Okay? His adopted

170
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,937
father. He was conceived by the holy spirit

171
00:05:33,076 --> 00:05:34,515
through the work of the the father in

172
00:05:34,515 --> 00:05:36,288
heaven. So we have to stand on these

173
00:05:36,288 --> 00:05:37,966
cardinal truths. That the bible is the word

174
00:05:37,966 --> 00:05:39,804
of God that there is an eternal hell.

175
00:05:40,204 --> 00:05:42,361
You know? We don't wanna compromise on biblical

176
00:05:42,361 --> 00:05:43,880
truths. So we have to stand for the

177
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,884
faith And it says to take hold of

178
00:05:45,884 --> 00:05:46,441
eternal life.

179
00:05:47,872 --> 00:05:49,860
The eternal life is something and it's really

180
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:51,769
someone. Jesus is the way the truth and

181
00:05:51,769 --> 00:05:53,836
the life. He said I am the resurrection.

182
00:05:54,249 --> 00:05:56,553
And the life. First, John chapter 5, the

183
00:05:56,553 --> 00:05:57,983
very end of the chapter their first John

184
00:05:57,983 --> 00:05:59,730
chapter 1 the first few verses that he

185
00:05:59,730 --> 00:06:00,763
is our eternal life.

186
00:06:01,494 --> 00:06:04,131
So we relate... We have eternal life through

187
00:06:04,131 --> 00:06:04,291
him.

188
00:06:05,170 --> 00:06:06,868
He has a son has the

189
00:06:07,247 --> 00:06:08,845
life. He would not have a son does

190
00:06:08,845 --> 00:06:10,764
not have the life. He's a life give

191
00:06:10,764 --> 00:06:13,223
me vine and we have life as branches

192
00:06:13,223 --> 00:06:14,809
who are attached to him through faith. Amen.

193
00:06:15,364 --> 00:06:17,004
So we fight the good fight of faith

194
00:06:17,203 --> 00:06:19,511
It's a good fight. Praise God because there's

195
00:06:19,511 --> 00:06:20,704
a lot of bad fights.

196
00:06:21,420 --> 00:06:23,250
But there's a he a fight in the

197
00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:25,000
good fight, take hold of eternal life to

198
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,927
which you were called talked about what it

199
00:06:26,927 --> 00:06:28,681
means to be called last week, and you

200
00:06:28,681 --> 00:06:29,877
made a good confession.

201
00:06:30,913 --> 00:06:32,131
Tiffany made a good

202
00:06:32,747 --> 00:06:34,581
confession in the presence of many witnesses.

203
00:06:35,393 --> 00:06:37,702
And we can't be dogma mad and say,

204
00:06:37,941 --> 00:06:39,772
it was here there or this place where

205
00:06:39,772 --> 00:06:40,887
he made that great confession.

206
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,325
Because it could have been a few different

207
00:06:44,325 --> 00:06:44,825
circumstances

208
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,109
that paul referring in a few different times

209
00:06:47,109 --> 00:06:49,257
his life. The most likely place is his

210
00:06:49,257 --> 00:06:51,485
good confession was when he confessed his faith

211
00:06:51,485 --> 00:06:53,249
public because it says, In the presence of

212
00:06:53,249 --> 00:06:55,554
many witnesses was perhaps at his baptism.

213
00:06:57,382 --> 00:06:59,846
Okay? That's where we just... The Sunday before

214
00:06:59,926 --> 00:07:01,436
I preached that message on 06:12,

215
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:03,681
We just had a baptism where a number

216
00:07:03,681 --> 00:07:05,752
of people made a good confession before many,

217
00:07:05,832 --> 00:07:06,469
many witnesses.

218
00:07:07,664 --> 00:07:09,735
And he wants him to hold on to

219
00:07:09,735 --> 00:07:12,223
that good confession wherever first made it publicly.

220
00:07:12,943 --> 00:07:14,940
And to fight the good fight and hold

221
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:16,699
on. He says, hold on, take hold of

222
00:07:16,699 --> 00:07:18,457
eternal life. We looked at various verses that

223
00:07:18,457 --> 00:07:21,345
talk about holding on to the confession. Holding

224
00:07:21,345 --> 00:07:23,726
on to the life holding on to Christ.

225
00:07:24,917 --> 00:07:27,615
But it gives him reasons to persevere in

226
00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:28,965
his faith We looked at some of them

227
00:07:28,965 --> 00:07:29,654
last week

228
00:07:30,174 --> 00:07:32,651
looks like at verse 13 now. I charge

229
00:07:32,651 --> 00:07:34,489
you, he says, I charge you.

230
00:07:36,327 --> 00:07:37,605
This is Paul the apostle.

231
00:07:39,298 --> 00:07:39,798
Charging

232
00:07:40,177 --> 00:07:41,076
young Timothy

233
00:07:41,775 --> 00:07:43,692
in the presence, check this out. In the

234
00:07:43,692 --> 00:07:44,911
presence of 2 witnesses

235
00:07:46,182 --> 00:07:47,698
Woo, you talk about 2 witnesses. You can't

236
00:07:47,698 --> 00:07:49,853
get 2 greater witnesses than he he has

237
00:07:49,853 --> 00:07:52,166
right here. He's charging Timothy the presence of

238
00:07:52,326 --> 00:07:52,485
God.

239
00:07:53,375 --> 00:07:55,517
Who gives life to all things and of

240
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:55,755
who,

241
00:07:56,628 --> 00:07:57,342
Christ Jesus.

242
00:07:58,453 --> 00:08:00,912
So he's charging him. This a charge, Timothy,

243
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,390
in the presence of God,

244
00:08:04,821 --> 00:08:06,887
the being of God the father, and of

245
00:08:06,887 --> 00:08:08,396
the Lord, Jesus Christ.

246
00:08:09,762 --> 00:08:12,305
And it's interesting because it's a solemn charge.

247
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:15,403
He's giving Timothy AAA

248
00:08:15,403 --> 00:08:16,777
strong a responsibility

249
00:08:17,962 --> 00:08:19,553
And by the way, you'll see that this

250
00:08:19,553 --> 00:08:21,463
word charges is use of Timothy to Timothy,

251
00:08:21,861 --> 00:08:24,168
but Paul tells Timothy to charge us,

252
00:08:24,885 --> 00:08:26,578
believers. Believers at ethic

253
00:08:27,047 --> 00:08:28,953
Not just them, but all of us, because

254
00:08:28,953 --> 00:08:31,493
in second Timothy chapter 2 verse 2, that

255
00:08:31,493 --> 00:08:34,136
great disciples at passage, Paul says to Timothy

256
00:08:34,764 --> 00:08:36,833
what I've commanded you, you command to other

257
00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:37,492
good men

258
00:08:37,947 --> 00:08:39,698
that they may command others. Right?

259
00:08:40,494 --> 00:08:41,768
So the truth was supposed to be passed

260
00:08:41,768 --> 00:08:43,439
down. Just as Jesus told his apostles.

261
00:08:44,489 --> 00:08:46,483
To go teaching throughout all the nations making

262
00:08:46,483 --> 00:08:49,355
staples all nations commanding them what, Teaching them

263
00:08:49,355 --> 00:08:50,870
to observe all things I've commanded you.

264
00:08:51,747 --> 00:08:53,582
That's how the gospel will spread throughout the

265
00:08:53,582 --> 00:08:53,741
world.

266
00:08:54,633 --> 00:08:57,257
Jesus is the master builder. So Paul is

267
00:08:57,257 --> 00:08:59,484
charging Timothy in the presence of God. Now

268
00:08:59,484 --> 00:09:00,597
this gets his attention, man.

269
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:03,460
This gets his attention because it's like,

270
00:09:04,748 --> 00:09:06,659
Timothy, I'm calling God the father.

271
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:07,854
God the son,

272
00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:09,549
there witnesses

273
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:12,018
before you at this for a moment

274
00:09:12,792 --> 00:09:13,292
to

275
00:09:14,162 --> 00:09:14,662
discharge

276
00:09:15,359 --> 00:09:17,773
or to follow the charge and your responsibility

277
00:09:18,071 --> 00:09:18,150
here.

278
00:09:19,028 --> 00:09:21,261
The word charged in the Greek is pair

279
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:22,240
par Para.

280
00:09:23,016 --> 00:09:23,175
Okay?

281
00:09:24,229 --> 00:09:27,105
I'm sorry. It's Par gallo. Okay? If you're

282
00:09:27,105 --> 00:09:30,062
write it down to be PARAGELL0

283
00:09:30,062 --> 00:09:30,882
in a trans,

284
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:32,140
par gallo,

285
00:09:32,792 --> 00:09:35,889
It's often used of a as a military

286
00:09:35,889 --> 00:09:38,112
command, this Greek word. So we see Par

287
00:09:38,112 --> 00:09:40,097
gallo in the Greek, you'll see it different

288
00:09:40,097 --> 00:09:43,153
ways, but it's often in military context, and

289
00:09:43,526 --> 00:09:45,986
I think because Timothy just was just told

290
00:09:45,986 --> 00:09:48,209
by Paul too wet, Fight the good fight.

291
00:09:48,447 --> 00:09:48,605
Right?

292
00:09:49,654 --> 00:09:52,365
That he's using it as, you know, hey,

293
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:53,025
Timothy

294
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:54,860
as

295
00:09:55,317 --> 00:09:57,311
the general that Paul is the apostle.

296
00:09:57,789 --> 00:09:58,927
In the presence of

297
00:09:59,958 --> 00:10:01,074
the commander in chief,

298
00:10:01,951 --> 00:10:04,343
not Joe Biden, or Ka kamala harris whoever

299
00:10:04,343 --> 00:10:05,938
it is right now. It's probably neither them.

300
00:10:06,417 --> 00:10:07,932
But not in the presence of them, but

301
00:10:07,932 --> 00:10:10,105
the commander but by the commander and chief

302
00:10:10,105 --> 00:10:12,585
god himself. Amen. God the father, God the

303
00:10:12,585 --> 00:10:12,825
son.

304
00:10:13,945 --> 00:10:16,105
By the way, that word, it's also used

305
00:10:16,105 --> 00:10:18,759
of, in the context of what would be,

306
00:10:18,839 --> 00:10:20,379
like, a modern subpoena

307
00:10:20,839 --> 00:10:22,699
today, that if somebody

308
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:26,379
disregard a subpoena, they'd be in great liability

309
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:26,839
to the courts,

310
00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:28,291
end up prison.

311
00:10:28,849 --> 00:10:30,364
It's used by Aristotle,

312
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,634
even before this was written, of course, Aristotle

313
00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:36,960
came before the first century of a physician

314
00:10:37,476 --> 00:10:40,969
who prescribe to a a patient, and the

315
00:10:40,969 --> 00:10:44,168
patient is obliged to, you know, follow that

316
00:10:44,383 --> 00:10:45,518
prescription or

317
00:10:46,701 --> 00:10:48,688
fulfill his duty to take the medicine otherwise,

318
00:10:48,847 --> 00:10:49,483
he will die.

319
00:10:50,596 --> 00:10:52,368
So it's used often

320
00:10:52,901 --> 00:10:54,594
in an court... An

321
00:10:54,968 --> 00:10:55,207
sense.

322
00:10:56,095 --> 00:11:00,087
And here, it's used of Timothy from Paul

323
00:11:00,222 --> 00:11:02,285
who's charging him to fight the good fight

324
00:11:02,285 --> 00:11:03,952
of faith. To lay hold on eternal life.

325
00:11:04,445 --> 00:11:05,565
And it's interesting,

326
00:11:07,804 --> 00:11:10,544
pro Para gallo is used 5 times

327
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,225
in first Timothy

328
00:11:12,538 --> 00:11:13,492
that that was interesting.

329
00:11:13,969 --> 00:11:15,955
It's issues at first Timothy 1 3 where

330
00:11:16,114 --> 00:11:17,703
Timothy says that he charges,

331
00:11:18,577 --> 00:11:21,141
Paul tells Timothy to charge certain men not

332
00:11:21,141 --> 00:11:23,933
to teach strange doctrines. At first timothy 04:11

333
00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:26,087
to charge and teach these things in first

334
00:11:26,167 --> 00:11:28,811
Timothy 5 7, to charge or command these

335
00:11:28,811 --> 00:11:30,561
things as well so that they will be

336
00:11:30,561 --> 00:11:31,277
a above approach.

337
00:11:31,913 --> 00:11:34,539
In first, Timothy 05:13 right here, I charge

338
00:11:34,539 --> 00:11:35,891
you in the presence of God and so

339
00:11:35,891 --> 00:11:38,208
forth. And first timothy these 06:17 is the

340
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:40,906
few versus later. I charge or instruct those

341
00:11:40,906 --> 00:11:43,127
who are rich in this present world, not

342
00:11:43,127 --> 00:11:45,288
to be conceded where to fix their hope

343
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:48,100
on the uncertainty of riches, but on god

344
00:11:48,238 --> 00:11:50,949
who rich ritual supplies us with all things

345
00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:51,587
to enjoy.

346
00:11:52,305 --> 00:11:54,868
So 5 times he use it, But a

347
00:11:54,868 --> 00:11:56,854
number of times he tells Timothy you used

348
00:11:56,854 --> 00:11:57,728
you charge them,

349
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,826
and Paul and Timothy is a young pastor.

350
00:12:02,749 --> 00:12:04,744
And it's important to understand. If you're wondering

351
00:12:04,744 --> 00:12:05,861
sometimes when I'm preaching,

352
00:12:06,420 --> 00:12:08,336
how come I'm not just wimp up here

353
00:12:08,336 --> 00:12:10,251
and just suggest maybe we should do this.

354
00:12:10,984 --> 00:12:13,000
And I tell you what god calls do

355
00:12:13,058 --> 00:12:14,414
because if I wanna be a good steward

356
00:12:14,414 --> 00:12:15,929
of God's word. If I wanna be a

357
00:12:15,929 --> 00:12:18,641
good pastor, you know, I'm told as a

358
00:12:18,641 --> 00:12:21,129
pastor to that no 1 despise me. Read

359
00:12:21,129 --> 00:12:23,209
that in first Timothy, thing read that to

360
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:25,129
titus and so forth. It despise what I'm

361
00:12:25,129 --> 00:12:27,049
doing what I'm teaching in the word, The

362
00:12:27,049 --> 00:12:28,649
word of this is the word of God.

363
00:12:29,384 --> 00:12:31,535
I mentioned to you that there's about a

364
00:12:31,535 --> 00:12:33,526
hundred and 8 versus or so in

365
00:12:34,562 --> 00:12:35,438
in James,

366
00:12:36,568 --> 00:12:37,284
5 chapters,

367
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:40,787
but there's about 59

368
00:12:40,787 --> 00:12:41,185
commands,

369
00:12:42,538 --> 00:12:43,414
59

370
00:12:43,414 --> 00:12:43,732
commands.

371
00:12:44,384 --> 00:12:45,819
Once sister came up to me said, how

372
00:12:45,819 --> 00:12:47,891
many commands did you say, are in James,

373
00:12:49,405 --> 00:12:51,478
and I said 59 and she said, I'm

374
00:12:51,478 --> 00:12:53,564
excited about that. I wanna hear what God

375
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:55,395
commands me to do. How he commands me

376
00:12:55,395 --> 00:12:57,307
to live. That bless my heart. You know?

377
00:12:57,784 --> 00:12:59,377
That bless my heart. That was that was

378
00:12:59,377 --> 00:13:00,036
actually c.

379
00:13:00,412 --> 00:13:02,342
You know? And she was... And I bless

380
00:13:02,342 --> 00:13:03,858
my heart because she was like, hey, I

381
00:13:03,858 --> 00:13:05,215
wanna hear what God's word has to say

382
00:13:05,215 --> 00:13:07,051
to me. And I love that when I

383
00:13:07,051 --> 00:13:08,248
see people that fear and love the lord,

384
00:13:08,328 --> 00:13:09,525
of course. I know Carol loves and fears

385
00:13:09,525 --> 00:13:11,215
the lord. But just need to hear expressed

386
00:13:11,215 --> 00:13:13,607
that. Some people... I'm just being honest. When

387
00:13:13,766 --> 00:13:14,883
I read their... When I let you know,

388
00:13:14,962 --> 00:13:17,514
there's 59 commands in James. Some people are

389
00:13:17,514 --> 00:13:18,231
like, where's the door.

390
00:13:19,042 --> 00:13:20,551
Because I'm here just have a good time

391
00:13:20,551 --> 00:13:22,456
or just to get my fire insurance by

392
00:13:22,456 --> 00:13:24,441
just showing up, don't get fire insurance. Man

393
00:13:24,521 --> 00:13:25,712
I need to have relationship with the Lord

394
00:13:25,712 --> 00:13:27,557
of Jesus Christ. That's the only way you

395
00:13:27,557 --> 00:13:30,109
have true, you know, eternal fire assurances is

396
00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:31,306
through him. But you have to be true

397
00:13:31,306 --> 00:13:33,300
to him. Amen. And Jesus said, in John

398
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:34,815
14, I think around there was 15, if

399
00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:36,011
you love me. Right?

400
00:13:37,063 --> 00:13:37,859
Obey my commandments.

401
00:13:38,973 --> 00:13:40,804
And so if we love him, we're going

402
00:13:40,804 --> 00:13:42,555
to obey his commands.

403
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:46,216
So para para, a great word there.

404
00:13:47,184 --> 00:13:49,802
That Paul uses. Now, it's in the presence

405
00:13:49,802 --> 00:13:52,183
of god. Man, in the presence of God.

406
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:53,714
Literally, it means

407
00:13:54,103 --> 00:13:56,415
to be positioned in the front of the

408
00:13:56,415 --> 00:13:56,893
almighty God.

409
00:13:57,849 --> 00:13:59,226
Mean, I'm charging you

410
00:14:00,001 --> 00:14:01,196
and you're position Timothy,

411
00:14:01,848 --> 00:14:03,859
as I'm charging you is in the presence

412
00:14:04,313 --> 00:14:07,118
of the face of the almighty God, and

413
00:14:08,128 --> 00:14:09,162
the Lord Jesus Christ.

414
00:14:10,291 --> 00:14:11,964
So that is so heavy.

415
00:14:14,195 --> 00:14:16,028
If... And he's saying, I'm I'm telling you

416
00:14:16,028 --> 00:14:17,860
that a commander chiefs there and and Paul's

417
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:20,190
is reminding it because even though I may

418
00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:22,110
not be around where you're at Timothy because

419
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:24,929
you're struggling with these false teachers at Ethic

420
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:26,429
where he in the first few first of

421
00:14:26,509 --> 00:14:28,681
Timothy Paul deals with these guys. And that

422
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,189
Timothy is supposed to preach the word and

423
00:14:30,189 --> 00:14:32,253
second timothy, in season out of season no

424
00:14:32,253 --> 00:14:33,840
matter what these guys are teaching how many

425
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,587
people's ears that they're tick that you need

426
00:14:35,587 --> 00:14:36,460
to still preach the word.

427
00:14:37,428 --> 00:14:38,621
Not back off from it, Timothy.

428
00:14:39,258 --> 00:14:40,155
Timothy had

429
00:14:40,928 --> 00:14:42,121
perhaps because he's young,

430
00:14:43,155 --> 00:14:44,826
and maybe some problems with timid,

431
00:14:45,224 --> 00:14:45,542
you know,

432
00:14:46,274 --> 00:14:47,394
Paul had struggled with Mark.

433
00:14:48,434 --> 00:14:49,975
Mark for took him on a missionary

434
00:14:50,355 --> 00:14:52,754
trip. He found a... You know, and he

435
00:14:52,754 --> 00:14:54,570
got it really upset. There was a just

436
00:14:54,848 --> 00:14:56,200
sharp dispute even I mean, Art I should

437
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,279
say,

438
00:14:57,234 --> 00:14:58,109
it caused some problems.

439
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:00,256
Later on, he found that Mark was useful.

440
00:15:00,893 --> 00:15:03,373
You know, Barn is encouraging, you know? And

441
00:15:03,373 --> 00:15:04,963
he found out... And he later says him

442
00:15:04,963 --> 00:15:07,133
in 1 of the Timothy, that second timothy

443
00:15:07,269 --> 00:15:09,415
found that Mark was was actually useful to

444
00:15:09,415 --> 00:15:12,214
him. Timothy young. At 1 point, Paul will

445
00:15:12,214 --> 00:15:14,285
say everyone's for forsaken me. He he talks

446
00:15:14,285 --> 00:15:16,276
about even D, who the scripture say was

447
00:15:16,276 --> 00:15:18,188
a servant of the Lord has for forsaken

448
00:15:18,188 --> 00:15:19,542
me having loved this present world.

449
00:15:20,272 --> 00:15:22,337
God, you have to be dedicated. So Paul,

450
00:15:22,575 --> 00:15:23,608
I believe is because of...

451
00:15:24,402 --> 00:15:26,387
Keep in mind. It's not so easy to

452
00:15:26,387 --> 00:15:28,078
be a Christian and Paul's circumstances,

453
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:29,110
Timothy

454
00:15:29,579 --> 00:15:32,056
Right? Marx, D and so forth. Demi had

455
00:15:32,056 --> 00:15:33,654
the lumen of the world, but Paul had

456
00:15:33,654 --> 00:15:35,332
the. It's not that there was a persecution

457
00:15:35,332 --> 00:15:37,903
as well. Sometimes there's things, but Paul, it

458
00:15:37,903 --> 00:15:39,920
tells Timothy and Second Timothy 1 7

459
00:15:40,298 --> 00:15:41,735
that God has not given us a spirit

460
00:15:41,735 --> 00:15:44,689
of fear, but of power and of love

461
00:15:44,689 --> 00:15:46,126
out of a sound mind. Amen?

462
00:15:47,098 --> 00:15:49,964
So he is concerned that Timothy could fear

463
00:15:49,964 --> 00:15:51,101
the false teachers

464
00:15:51,557 --> 00:15:52,671
that Timothy could fear,

465
00:15:53,468 --> 00:15:56,931
the persecution that could arise. That Timothy could

466
00:15:57,149 --> 00:15:58,983
succumb to the s deductions of the world.

467
00:15:59,701 --> 00:16:01,774
The s deductions say he's struggling as a

468
00:16:01,774 --> 00:16:04,087
young pastor to make ends meet to to

469
00:16:04,087 --> 00:16:06,015
to, you know, suck up to the world

470
00:16:06,015 --> 00:16:08,883
and and and Rebel against his calling. And

471
00:16:09,042 --> 00:16:10,954
Paul knew that god had placed a call

472
00:16:10,954 --> 00:16:11,751
on Timothy life.

473
00:16:12,323 --> 00:16:13,596
Paul knew how serious it would be to

474
00:16:13,596 --> 00:16:15,188
turn from that call. That's why Paul is

475
00:16:15,188 --> 00:16:17,177
woe to me if I don't preach the

476
00:16:17,177 --> 00:16:19,166
gospel. Amen. So he's telling Timothy,

477
00:16:19,738 --> 00:16:21,008
that he's used to fight the good fight.

478
00:16:21,167 --> 00:16:22,914
He said, lay hold on eternal life. Amen.

479
00:16:23,469 --> 00:16:25,851
He's supposed to remember that he gets this

480
00:16:25,851 --> 00:16:27,439
charge and the presence of almighty God.

481
00:16:28,962 --> 00:16:30,945
Gets this charge in the presence of the

482
00:16:31,025 --> 00:16:32,056
Lord, Jesus Christ.

483
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:34,991
And we need to keep that in mind

484
00:16:34,991 --> 00:16:35,308
you guys.

485
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,114
Because Timothy to remember when he's serving the

486
00:16:38,193 --> 00:16:40,109
Lord, there at ethic and things get hot,

487
00:16:42,103 --> 00:16:44,355
that God is witnessing him. That God is

488
00:16:44,355 --> 00:16:46,115
watching every move and every thought he has.

489
00:16:47,394 --> 00:16:48,595
Right? And we need to do that as

490
00:16:48,595 --> 00:16:49,714
well. As believers, amen?

491
00:16:51,088 --> 00:16:52,762
Wherever you're at, man, you need to recognize

492
00:16:52,841 --> 00:16:53,479
God is there.

493
00:16:54,754 --> 00:16:56,587
And if if you're seeking him and you

494
00:16:56,587 --> 00:16:58,101
love him praise lord your his child.

495
00:16:58,753 --> 00:16:59,867
If you're rebellion to him,

496
00:17:00,583 --> 00:17:01,458
you're in huge trouble,

497
00:17:02,015 --> 00:17:03,288
you do not wanna be in rebellion to

498
00:17:03,368 --> 00:17:03,527
God.

499
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,710
That's the scripture say in that context, Bible

500
00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:09,514
says to you know, worship him. Right? And

501
00:17:09,514 --> 00:17:11,907
and in reverence and and fear for our

502
00:17:11,987 --> 00:17:13,741
God is a consuming fire.

503
00:17:14,379 --> 00:17:15,656
We need to make sure that we are

504
00:17:15,656 --> 00:17:18,702
right with God. And it's interesting. What does

505
00:17:18,702 --> 00:17:19,340
he say next?

506
00:17:20,537 --> 00:17:22,372
What does you say next? He says, who

507
00:17:22,372 --> 00:17:25,027
gives life to all things. Amen? Sir

508
00:17:25,817 --> 00:17:27,803
So Timothy is being charged the prince of

509
00:17:27,883 --> 00:17:30,346
God, the father, God the son as well.

510
00:17:32,571 --> 00:17:33,310
Their witnesses

511
00:17:35,375 --> 00:17:36,894
It's pretty solemn. What Paul's is doing there.

512
00:17:37,214 --> 00:17:39,234
But he but now he encourages him

513
00:17:39,775 --> 00:17:41,535
that he gives life to all things, Amen.

514
00:17:42,269 --> 00:17:45,386
He's making He's letting Timothy know, God gives

515
00:17:45,386 --> 00:17:47,783
you life, Timothy. In fact, he gives life

516
00:17:47,783 --> 00:17:50,101
to all things. And that's encouraging because Timothy

517
00:17:50,101 --> 00:17:51,160
is supposed to remember

518
00:17:51,873 --> 00:17:52,910
who it is it gives life.

519
00:17:53,787 --> 00:17:55,382
When the attic antichrist were shipped in the

520
00:17:55,382 --> 00:17:55,861
end times,

521
00:17:56,658 --> 00:17:58,174
people say who can make where with him.

522
00:17:58,333 --> 00:17:58,493
Right?

523
00:17:59,290 --> 00:18:00,885
Hit we lo enough heads left and right.

524
00:18:02,335 --> 00:18:03,690
It'll be important at that time to remember

525
00:18:03,690 --> 00:18:04,885
that God gives life to all things.

526
00:18:07,117 --> 00:18:08,471
Oh, wait a minute. Man?

527
00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:11,828
You know, they'll breathe life into an image

528
00:18:11,828 --> 00:18:12,306
of the beast.

529
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:13,999
Maybe it's

530
00:18:14,612 --> 00:18:15,487
Ai, you know?

531
00:18:16,377 --> 00:18:18,202
And then Chris will maybe have a promise

532
00:18:18,202 --> 00:18:19,233
of giving life too.

533
00:18:20,741 --> 00:18:22,328
In this mark, man, look, man, we're in

534
00:18:22,328 --> 00:18:24,312
this kingdom we can buy ourselves, no, man.

535
00:18:24,883 --> 00:18:26,391
Know, that christ so live for he don't

536
00:18:26,391 --> 00:18:27,740
even rain for 42 months. Right?

537
00:18:28,534 --> 00:18:30,518
And then you're destroyed who follow them, even

538
00:18:30,518 --> 00:18:32,050
before that you get a g sore

539
00:18:32,518 --> 00:18:34,533
buying is selling. Now you got this really

540
00:18:34,830 --> 00:18:35,330
painful

541
00:18:35,866 --> 00:18:37,381
or grow test disease,

542
00:18:38,098 --> 00:18:39,374
and you yank ain't can last very long.

543
00:18:40,664 --> 00:18:41,863
But God is the 1 who gives life

544
00:18:41,863 --> 00:18:42,422
to all things.

545
00:18:43,541 --> 00:18:46,018
And this is important because Emperor worship was

546
00:18:46,018 --> 00:18:48,255
rife at Ethic where Timothy was at.

547
00:18:49,308 --> 00:18:51,541
It's important to understand bible background to a

548
00:18:51,541 --> 00:18:52,977
degree when you're going through the text of

549
00:18:52,977 --> 00:18:54,035
scripture, and

550
00:18:54,413 --> 00:18:56,726
it was dangerous at certain times in certain

551
00:18:56,726 --> 00:18:58,502
provinces in certain cities

552
00:18:59,212 --> 00:19:00,746
in the roman empire to

553
00:19:01,438 --> 00:19:01,756
you know,

554
00:19:02,631 --> 00:19:03,926
give credence to

555
00:19:04,539 --> 00:19:07,640
another God that you consider supreme to the

556
00:19:07,878 --> 00:19:08,378
Emperor

557
00:19:08,848 --> 00:19:09,803
or to Caesar,

558
00:19:10,599 --> 00:19:12,191
who would be the emperor who's... And he

559
00:19:12,191 --> 00:19:14,260
was worship everywhere. Yes.

560
00:19:14,976 --> 00:19:16,648
Az zeus was considered the highest god, but

561
00:19:16,648 --> 00:19:18,182
he was personified often

562
00:19:19,535 --> 00:19:22,575
the Caesars were considered, you know, under the

563
00:19:22,575 --> 00:19:24,414
divine right, whether it was a Roman Caesar

564
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:25,955
or the the Greek leader

565
00:19:26,494 --> 00:19:28,426
with Romans, you know, they had They they

566
00:19:28,426 --> 00:19:29,621
they just switched the names of their god's

567
00:19:29,621 --> 00:19:32,327
off and so forth. But Caesar, that was

568
00:19:32,327 --> 00:19:33,919
the 1 that you had to fear, and

569
00:19:34,078 --> 00:19:35,033
I've told you before.

570
00:19:36,082 --> 00:19:38,542
Last time, He's talking about the good confession

571
00:19:38,542 --> 00:19:39,574
that Timothy made. Right?

572
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:42,430
And I'm telling you right now.

573
00:19:43,719 --> 00:19:45,237
And I tried to try to keep keep

574
00:19:45,237 --> 00:19:47,075
your brain around this when you read the

575
00:19:47,075 --> 00:19:48,134
holy scripture

576
00:19:48,593 --> 00:19:50,590
that when the bible talks about confessing Jesus

577
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:50,910
Lord,

578
00:19:51,564 --> 00:19:53,722
people just didn't go around easily saint, Jesus

579
00:19:53,802 --> 00:19:55,560
Lord, because you could lose your head.

580
00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:59,716
The bible says in Romans chapter 10 versus

581
00:19:59,716 --> 00:20:01,090
9 and 10. If we confess the Lord

582
00:20:01,170 --> 00:20:02,130
Jesus, Christ with our mouths.

583
00:20:02,850 --> 00:20:03,970
And we believe in our hearts that God

584
00:20:03,970 --> 00:20:05,250
raised for the dead, we will be saved.

585
00:20:05,650 --> 00:20:07,490
When you're confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord,

586
00:20:07,650 --> 00:20:08,850
you confess him as Lord with your mouth.

587
00:20:09,343 --> 00:20:11,172
You're cove confessing him Lord means master.

588
00:20:11,808 --> 00:20:13,478
You're saying he is my master.

589
00:20:14,034 --> 00:20:16,181
And you're saying I'm following him. No matter

590
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:18,425
what he says, And if it contradicts what

591
00:20:18,505 --> 00:20:20,498
Caesar says, and what the roman government says,

592
00:20:20,657 --> 00:20:21,933
I'm doing what Jesus says, amen.

593
00:20:22,650 --> 00:20:24,005
And the room say, no nope, you can't

594
00:20:24,005 --> 00:20:25,280
come in here and preach the gospel here.

595
00:20:26,093 --> 00:20:28,245
Let's whip these guys, and Peter says better

596
00:20:28,245 --> 00:20:29,042
obey God than men.

597
00:20:29,839 --> 00:20:32,629
Jewish and Roman persecution throughout the book of

598
00:20:32,629 --> 00:20:32,868
acts.

599
00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:36,073
You know, but all the disciples for the

600
00:20:36,073 --> 00:20:38,567
most part, were Jewish, believers

601
00:20:39,104 --> 00:20:41,736
who were confessing Jesus as a messiah. And

602
00:20:41,895 --> 00:20:43,592
I mentioned, it's... It was treason

603
00:20:44,064 --> 00:20:44,621
at times.

604
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:46,794
Many of the Roman soldiers

605
00:20:47,729 --> 00:20:49,561
could lose their lives as a roman soldier,

606
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,871
you'd have to burn since to caesar, but

607
00:20:51,871 --> 00:20:53,146
as a Christian, you couldn't do that.

608
00:20:54,358 --> 00:20:55,498
You'd have to either,

609
00:20:56,036 --> 00:20:57,554
you know, they'd have to look the other

610
00:20:57,554 --> 00:20:58,752
way because you're not doing it or you

611
00:20:58,752 --> 00:20:59,652
can lose your head

612
00:21:00,510 --> 00:21:02,039
or you just You know, it was it

613
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:03,334
was really tough

614
00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:05,062
and out have time to get into it,

615
00:21:05,221 --> 00:21:06,971
but I think it's important in this context.

616
00:21:07,130 --> 00:21:08,975
When I look at this, It's very powerful,

617
00:21:09,294 --> 00:21:11,125
especially with regard to certain we're gonna read

618
00:21:11,125 --> 00:21:12,240
to keep this in mind.

619
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:14,947
And I want you to right now keep

620
00:21:14,947 --> 00:21:16,952
it in mind for your own life. Because

621
00:21:16,952 --> 00:21:17,827
the time may come,

622
00:21:18,622 --> 00:21:21,247
where you are told that you cannot talk

623
00:21:21,247 --> 00:21:22,997
about Jesus. You cannot confess him as your

624
00:21:22,997 --> 00:21:23,157
lord.

625
00:21:24,209 --> 00:21:26,127
It's in that country in many countries right

626
00:21:26,127 --> 00:21:27,965
now. Can't go around telling people about Jesus.

627
00:21:29,563 --> 00:21:31,002
I've tried to tell you before New Zealand,

628
00:21:31,481 --> 00:21:32,920
Australia, United States America.

629
00:21:33,413 --> 00:21:35,400
These are like, you know, anomalies.

630
00:21:36,115 --> 00:21:38,499
These are countries that haven't had Christian persecution.

631
00:21:39,452 --> 00:21:41,220
You go out through most countries in the

632
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:42,819
world where that Christian Gospel is there's been

633
00:21:42,819 --> 00:21:45,220
a lot of persecution or some excuse to

634
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,019
1 degree or another.

635
00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:48,980
So I've tried to prepare you because I

636
00:21:48,980 --> 00:21:50,432
know what the scriptures say about how all

637
00:21:50,432 --> 00:21:51,250
the nations

638
00:21:51,622 --> 00:21:53,844
will worship the beast it says every nation

639
00:21:53,844 --> 00:21:56,700
people and tongue will worship him, and that

640
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,779
may or may not happen our lifetime. But

641
00:21:58,940 --> 00:22:00,059
I want you to be ready, and I

642
00:22:00,059 --> 00:22:01,500
want to make your children ready because it's

643
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:02,700
gonna happen in someone's lifetime.

644
00:22:03,419 --> 00:22:04,299
Hey, amen, it's coming.

645
00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:07,106
But guess what? Whether it happens on lifetime

646
00:22:07,106 --> 00:22:08,775
or or not. We didn't make sure Jesus

647
00:22:08,775 --> 00:22:10,126
is truly our lord right now.

648
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,225
Because how many Christians have been killed, put

649
00:22:13,225 --> 00:22:14,678
to death or persecuted

650
00:22:14,989 --> 00:22:17,382
because name of Jesus prior to this time

651
00:22:17,382 --> 00:22:19,136
long before the antichrist came, it's happened all

652
00:22:19,136 --> 00:22:19,615
over the place.

653
00:22:21,689 --> 00:22:23,443
But you can get lazy and say yeah,

654
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:25,847
Confess jesus Lord. But guess what? Because you're

655
00:22:25,847 --> 00:22:27,675
in an a affluent world where there's not

656
00:22:27,675 --> 00:22:29,424
a lot of persecution, we have to be

657
00:22:29,424 --> 00:22:30,854
very, very careful of a fluent.

658
00:22:32,523 --> 00:22:33,659
And temptation

659
00:22:34,529 --> 00:22:36,049
And that's 1 thing that Paul deals with

660
00:22:36,210 --> 00:22:37,910
Timothy in regard to

661
00:22:38,369 --> 00:22:40,630
temptation, which is couple versus previously

662
00:22:40,930 --> 00:22:42,049
that we've already looked at a little bit,

663
00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:44,218
but they're gonna play into the verses that

664
00:22:44,218 --> 00:22:46,701
we're talking about coming up as well because

665
00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:47,867
what did Paul say?

666
00:22:49,612 --> 00:22:50,564
Titus 01:16.

667
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,724
Remember this? Finish it with me if you're

668
00:22:52,724 --> 00:22:55,271
remembered. Paul says of these people that aren't

669
00:22:55,271 --> 00:22:57,578
really following Jesus. He says, they profess to

670
00:22:57,578 --> 00:22:58,533
know him, but what?

671
00:22:59,648 --> 00:23:00,841
Denying by their works.

672
00:23:01,575 --> 00:23:02,214
They deny him.

673
00:23:03,015 --> 00:23:05,095
So you can deny Christ more than just

674
00:23:05,095 --> 00:23:06,934
by just saying, I don't believe in Jesus.

675
00:23:08,134 --> 00:23:09,434
You wanna confess him

676
00:23:09,909 --> 00:23:11,423
And you know what? That's why it's important

677
00:23:11,423 --> 00:23:13,277
to pray and crowd to god

678
00:23:13,733 --> 00:23:15,109
and and seek the father

679
00:23:15,486 --> 00:23:16,840
because it says no 1 can say Jesus

680
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,513
Lord, but by the holy spirit, amen.

681
00:23:19,564 --> 00:23:21,233
So it's holy spirit it inspires us to

682
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:22,425
say that Jesus Lord, amen.

683
00:23:23,221 --> 00:23:25,685
And if you can sincerely say Jesus is

684
00:23:25,764 --> 00:23:27,689
Lord, and mean it from your heart. That's

685
00:23:27,689 --> 00:23:29,367
by the holy spirit. Have confidence in that.

686
00:23:29,607 --> 00:23:30,326
That's what the scriptures say.

687
00:23:31,125 --> 00:23:33,443
That's exciting, amen. You want some assurance to

688
00:23:33,443 --> 00:23:36,080
salvation. Just say with sincerely yes, Jesus is

689
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,612
Lord. That he's your Lord.

690
00:23:38,809 --> 00:23:40,964
This holy spirit that gives us function that

691
00:23:40,964 --> 00:23:43,038
gives us empowerment that gives us the power

692
00:23:43,038 --> 00:23:45,288
to confess Christ's name and that's why it's

693
00:23:45,288 --> 00:23:47,925
important to cold fast to your confession and

694
00:23:47,925 --> 00:23:48,724
never turn back.

695
00:23:49,364 --> 00:23:51,921
Now, he gives life to all things. The

696
00:23:51,921 --> 00:23:52,640
word life there,

697
00:23:53,373 --> 00:23:55,126
is it's it's a couple words there in

698
00:23:55,126 --> 00:23:57,676
the Greek of compound words. It's it's a

699
00:23:57,676 --> 00:23:58,176
zoo.

700
00:23:58,792 --> 00:23:59,031
K?

701
00:23:59,669 --> 00:24:00,169
Zoo.

702
00:24:00,879 --> 00:24:02,626
And that means Zoo, we eat the word

703
00:24:02,705 --> 00:24:04,849
Zoo from that word... That first word, Zoo,

704
00:24:05,167 --> 00:24:06,040
you know, creatures,

705
00:24:06,755 --> 00:24:08,605
all all these creatures, Zoo Ag,

706
00:24:09,057 --> 00:24:09,772
life, living,

707
00:24:10,424 --> 00:24:12,578
He gives life to all the creatures, all

708
00:24:12,578 --> 00:24:15,292
things. He's telling Timothy, god is the 1

709
00:24:15,292 --> 00:24:18,299
that gives life. Don't freak out. Don't fear

710
00:24:18,739 --> 00:24:19,778
He's the 1 that gives life.

711
00:24:20,577 --> 00:24:23,374
If you lose your life, Timothy in your

712
00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:23,533
ministry,

713
00:24:24,572 --> 00:24:26,330
God is able to raise you back up

714
00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:26,490
again.

715
00:24:27,222 --> 00:24:27,301
Amen.

716
00:24:28,494 --> 00:24:30,322
There's what we call the resurrection of the

717
00:24:30,322 --> 00:24:31,038
just. I have a,

718
00:24:32,707 --> 00:24:34,240
a neat quote from a

719
00:24:34,948 --> 00:24:38,126
a great west comment, Adam Clark said this.

720
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,009
God, who is a fountain of life

721
00:24:41,383 --> 00:24:43,314
and who is the resurrection

722
00:24:43,624 --> 00:24:45,861
and who will raise the up at the

723
00:24:45,861 --> 00:24:48,758
last day to a life of in glory

724
00:24:48,897 --> 00:24:50,415
if thou be faithful in the death,

725
00:24:51,149 --> 00:24:53,549
and should thy life fall a sacrifice to

726
00:24:53,549 --> 00:24:54,909
the performance of thy duty?

727
00:24:55,789 --> 00:24:56,769
All will be safe

728
00:24:57,230 --> 00:24:58,909
for thy life is hid with Christ in

729
00:24:58,990 --> 00:24:59,149
God.

730
00:25:00,284 --> 00:25:02,681
Yeah. That's from cl. And when he is

731
00:25:02,681 --> 00:25:04,619
thy life shall appear, then

732
00:25:05,158 --> 00:25:07,955
shall... Thou also appear with him in glory.

733
00:25:08,769 --> 00:25:10,849
That's just beautiful. So keep my God is

734
00:25:10,849 --> 00:25:12,450
the 1 that gives life, and we're gonna

735
00:25:12,450 --> 00:25:15,329
be resurrected. That's good news. Amen. Look at

736
00:25:15,329 --> 00:25:17,730
chapter 6 verse 13, the next part.

737
00:25:18,464 --> 00:25:19,743
He says Not only is god the father

738
00:25:19,743 --> 00:25:21,181
of the witness, but we've talked about this

739
00:25:21,181 --> 00:25:24,218
briefly as well, and of Christ Jesus. He's

740
00:25:24,218 --> 00:25:25,337
a witness, Timothy,

741
00:25:26,455 --> 00:25:26,935
who what?

742
00:25:27,748 --> 00:25:30,081
Testified the good confession confession before who

743
00:25:30,538 --> 00:25:32,690
punches pilot. We talked about this last week

744
00:25:32,690 --> 00:25:34,864
a little bit. So he's telling Timothy

745
00:25:36,295 --> 00:25:38,455
Endure, persevere in your faith, fight the good

746
00:25:38,455 --> 00:25:40,134
fight of faith, they journal life, it gives

747
00:25:40,134 --> 00:25:41,414
them incentives as to why.

748
00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:45,069
Remember you're confession before many witnesses, and I

749
00:25:45,268 --> 00:25:46,700
I charge you guys in the name of

750
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:48,687
the Lord Jesus Christ. And in the president

751
00:25:48,687 --> 00:25:49,244
of the father,

752
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,504
remember your confession that you have made publicly

753
00:25:52,504 --> 00:25:52,901
before others.

754
00:25:53,554 --> 00:25:55,072
That Jesus Christ your Lord. Amen.

755
00:25:55,871 --> 00:25:57,309
And be thankful that you able to make

756
00:25:57,309 --> 00:25:59,786
that confession, and you've made that confession and

757
00:25:59,786 --> 00:26:01,712
continue to make it. But don't just think

758
00:26:01,712 --> 00:26:03,539
about that confession and praise God for that

759
00:26:03,539 --> 00:26:05,604
confession, but you made a confession. Do not

760
00:26:05,604 --> 00:26:06,716
tarnish the name of Jesus.

761
00:26:07,431 --> 00:26:09,337
Do not cause gentile towels or pagan to

762
00:26:09,337 --> 00:26:10,131
spit on the name of Jesus.

763
00:26:10,704 --> 00:26:12,622
Because of your reno of Christ or because

764
00:26:12,622 --> 00:26:13,741
of wicked behavior amen.

765
00:26:15,179 --> 00:26:17,497
Don't bring bla upon his name. That's... It's

766
00:26:17,497 --> 00:26:18,695
a fearful thing to fall in the hands

767
00:26:18,695 --> 00:26:20,868
of the mighty God. Almighty got he's consuming

768
00:26:20,868 --> 00:26:22,786
fire, but I also keep this in mind.

769
00:26:24,464 --> 00:26:27,101
Remember the confession that Jesus made before pilot.

770
00:26:30,062 --> 00:26:31,491
And I mentioned to you last week that

771
00:26:31,570 --> 00:26:33,237
Jesus said he could have called 12 legions

772
00:26:33,237 --> 00:26:35,618
of angels to told them right? Called 12

773
00:26:35,618 --> 00:26:37,047
legions of angels. Right now,

774
00:26:38,654 --> 00:26:39,929
He didn't have to go to the cross.

775
00:26:41,123 --> 00:26:42,818
He could've have said to the father and

776
00:26:42,955 --> 00:26:45,424
the internal counsel and the eternity past.

777
00:26:46,873 --> 00:26:48,858
Father son Holy spirit that, you know,

778
00:26:49,732 --> 00:26:51,083
when I say could have this is, you

779
00:26:51,083 --> 00:26:52,830
know, hypothetical because that's was the heart of

780
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:55,388
God. So in a sense, no. Because God

781
00:26:55,388 --> 00:26:57,138
is love. But he did have it prerogative

782
00:26:57,138 --> 00:26:58,967
because we also believe he's free amen. And

783
00:26:58,967 --> 00:27:00,797
we don't believe he died for us by

784
00:27:00,797 --> 00:27:01,854
way of necessity

785
00:27:02,324 --> 00:27:03,996
as far as something that was necessary in

786
00:27:03,996 --> 00:27:05,054
his own being

787
00:27:05,430 --> 00:27:07,501
because... Well, wait a minute. Because he's love,

788
00:27:08,059 --> 00:27:09,891
and he and he loves He's so much.

789
00:27:09,970 --> 00:27:12,220
He well, guess what. But, you know, he

790
00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:13,740
created us, So he's gonna wanna redeem us,

791
00:27:14,539 --> 00:27:15,980
but he never had... He didn't have to

792
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:16,779
create us. Amen.

793
00:27:17,740 --> 00:27:19,259
He could've created a bunch of robots Came

794
00:27:19,259 --> 00:27:19,420
amen.

795
00:27:20,233 --> 00:27:21,131
So he never

796
00:27:21,508 --> 00:27:23,420
had to die for. The only time he

797
00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:25,570
has to die for us is when... I

798
00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:26,606
mean, when he becomes a man,

799
00:27:27,259 --> 00:27:28,774
Now he's gotta fulfill the scriptures and he

800
00:27:28,774 --> 00:27:31,246
says, the son man what must be lifted

801
00:27:31,246 --> 00:27:33,160
up. Just like you must be born again.

802
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:34,755
If where to be saved, he's gonna have

803
00:27:34,755 --> 00:27:35,712
to be lifted up. A amen?

804
00:27:36,764 --> 00:27:37,880
He's gonna have to die if he wants

805
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,236
to save us, and you're gonna have be

806
00:27:39,236 --> 00:27:42,427
born again. Amen. So... But in the presence

807
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:43,703
of I love this.

808
00:27:44,500 --> 00:27:45,059
I love this.

809
00:27:46,668 --> 00:27:49,205
And of Christ Jesus who testified the good

810
00:27:49,205 --> 00:27:52,377
confession Jesus gave a good confession before po

811
00:27:52,377 --> 00:27:54,384
pilot. They were good their carlos

812
00:27:54,694 --> 00:27:57,985
He translated in different ways, noble confession, good

813
00:27:58,203 --> 00:28:01,075
confession. 1 translation has fearless witnessed to the

814
00:28:01,075 --> 00:28:03,967
truth. Another translation gave me fearless testimony.

815
00:28:04,838 --> 00:28:07,149
And that's coming of course, from John 18

816
00:28:07,149 --> 00:28:09,859
37 when pilot says, you are king then,

817
00:28:10,417 --> 00:28:10,975
said pilot.

818
00:28:11,533 --> 00:28:12,464
She's answered

819
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:14,493
You say that I'm a king.

820
00:28:15,368 --> 00:28:17,119
In fact, the reason I was born and

821
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,028
came into the world is the testify of

822
00:28:19,028 --> 00:28:19,426
the truth.

823
00:28:20,476 --> 00:28:23,025
Everyone who sides with the truth listens to

824
00:28:23,025 --> 00:28:25,096
me. Yes. It's pilot on the game.

825
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,602
That's a good confession. This is a crazy

826
00:28:28,602 --> 00:28:29,102
thing

827
00:28:29,653 --> 00:28:31,728
My point is is that God never had

828
00:28:31,728 --> 00:28:33,643
to become a man. He didn't have to

829
00:28:33,643 --> 00:28:34,442
give this confession.

830
00:28:36,038 --> 00:28:36,915
He did it for us.

831
00:28:37,967 --> 00:28:40,439
Not for himself. It's for his glory ultimately,

832
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:42,751
but it's for you're good. Amen. He'd be

833
00:28:42,751 --> 00:28:44,825
glorified with you or without you, amen. He

834
00:28:44,825 --> 00:28:45,542
doesn't need us.

835
00:28:46,988 --> 00:28:48,812
But guess what we need. We need him.

836
00:28:49,129 --> 00:28:50,952
Amen. And we don't have him if we

837
00:28:50,952 --> 00:28:52,379
don't hold on... If we don't fight a

838
00:28:52,379 --> 00:28:53,806
good fight and hold on to eternal life.

839
00:28:54,298 --> 00:28:56,843
If we don't hold on to our confession.

840
00:28:57,399 --> 00:28:59,148
If we don't continue to make a good

841
00:28:59,148 --> 00:29:00,341
confession. So we look to Jesus.

842
00:29:00,898 --> 00:29:03,284
What was Jesus confession that he's the king.

843
00:29:03,602 --> 00:29:03,681
Amen?

844
00:29:04,411 --> 00:29:06,397
Well, it's our confession the same that Jesus

845
00:29:06,397 --> 00:29:09,494
is a king. That's our confession. Amen. So

846
00:29:09,494 --> 00:29:10,685
hold faster confession.

847
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,227
Let's be an on fire church. Amen.

848
00:29:14,439 --> 00:29:16,276
In the last days, when everybody... When so

849
00:29:16,276 --> 00:29:18,834
many are becoming pans these, you know, and

850
00:29:18,834 --> 00:29:21,971
and just, you know, just going just

851
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:24,270
sticking their finger there and I'm going with

852
00:29:24,270 --> 00:29:25,779
whatever the world's is going. Don't do it.

853
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:30,227
Don't do it. Don't go that route. Guys,

854
00:29:30,465 --> 00:29:31,656
You'll regret it. Big time.

855
00:29:34,526 --> 00:29:34,843
Wow.

856
00:29:36,666 --> 00:29:38,490
So he says I charge you in the

857
00:29:38,490 --> 00:29:40,733
presence of God. Right? Presence of Jesus as

858
00:29:40,733 --> 00:29:41,932
well. What's the charge?

859
00:29:43,371 --> 00:29:44,889
What's he charging him? We should know what

860
00:29:44,889 --> 00:29:45,928
the charges is? Shouldn't we?

861
00:29:47,367 --> 00:29:49,045
Well, look at here's charge verse 14?

862
00:29:49,539 --> 00:29:51,238
That you keep the command

863
00:29:51,696 --> 00:29:52,516
without staying

864
00:29:53,214 --> 00:29:54,194
that you keep

865
00:29:54,812 --> 00:29:56,490
not that you just do the command at

866
00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:58,922
1 time. But you keep the command

867
00:29:59,619 --> 00:30:01,236
without stain or rep approach

868
00:30:02,333 --> 00:30:02,812
until what?

869
00:30:03,929 --> 00:30:05,526
The appearing of our lord Jesus Christ.

870
00:30:06,658 --> 00:30:08,573
So the the the charge...

871
00:30:09,211 --> 00:30:11,047
The military charge for Timothy that he's supposed

872
00:30:11,047 --> 00:30:12,562
to give us is that he keeps a

873
00:30:12,562 --> 00:30:14,012
command without staying. K?

874
00:30:15,043 --> 00:30:16,495
Without rep approach until

875
00:30:17,502 --> 00:30:18,931
until the appear of the lord Jesus Christ.

876
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:21,549
Now that helps a little bit but wait

877
00:30:21,549 --> 00:30:23,551
a minute. Yeah. Okay. The charges to keep

878
00:30:23,551 --> 00:30:25,222
the command, put then in the questions, beg

879
00:30:25,222 --> 00:30:27,291
the question. What's the command? Right?

880
00:30:27,927 --> 00:30:28,802
What's the command?

881
00:30:29,773 --> 00:30:32,561
Well, back up. Gotta go back. That's why

882
00:30:32,561 --> 00:30:35,031
I said we need verse 12. Context actually

883
00:30:35,031 --> 00:30:36,089
back up to verse

884
00:30:37,037 --> 00:30:37,354
11.

885
00:30:38,227 --> 00:30:40,290
And before you read verse 11, keep in

886
00:30:40,290 --> 00:30:42,036
mind the context, so we understand what the

887
00:30:42,036 --> 00:30:44,758
command is, the... The context is

888
00:30:46,182 --> 00:30:48,575
The verses that preceded versus 5 through 10,

889
00:30:49,213 --> 00:30:51,765
where walk warns about these false teachers now

890
00:30:51,765 --> 00:30:53,839
how they teach that god is a means

891
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:54,796
of financial gain.

892
00:30:55,689 --> 00:30:57,207
Name and claimant it, folks,

893
00:30:57,926 --> 00:30:59,684
bla it and grab it. You know, God

894
00:30:59,684 --> 00:31:01,202
wants you to be rich in this world

895
00:31:01,202 --> 00:31:02,401
and he wants you to to get sick

896
00:31:02,401 --> 00:31:04,732
and be a king's skin. And and where

897
00:31:04,732 --> 00:31:06,488
they get the focus on you and us

898
00:31:06,488 --> 00:31:08,823
and as, you know, 1 popular

899
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:11,276
Tv preacher what was popular Tv preacher in

00:31:17,328 --> 00:31:17,566

904
00:31:20,524 --> 00:31:23,241
That's Joel. Okay? I don't have to always

905
00:31:23,241 --> 00:31:24,839
say the names, but pete saying, why isn't

906
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:27,077
he saying the name? Okay. I say it

907
00:31:27,077 --> 00:31:28,835
enough, you know, Those kind of things. Those

908
00:31:28,835 --> 00:31:31,089
are sad things. And then he warns them

909
00:31:31,089 --> 00:31:32,529
that those who will seek to be rich

910
00:31:32,529 --> 00:31:34,210
in this world. If you live for riches,

911
00:31:34,529 --> 00:31:36,049
he talks about plunging yourself in a ruin

912
00:31:36,049 --> 00:31:36,609
and instruction.

913
00:31:37,264 --> 00:31:39,422
And many pierce themselves with many hurts and

914
00:31:39,422 --> 00:31:41,420
have wandered away from the faith. So he

915
00:31:41,420 --> 00:31:43,418
warns them, don't live for riches.

916
00:31:44,297 --> 00:31:46,135
Don't live for riches. Okay?

917
00:31:47,268 --> 00:31:48,545
It it's destructive.

918
00:31:49,263 --> 00:31:51,897
And... But so understand the context. So before

919
00:31:51,897 --> 00:31:54,291
you get verse 11, Paul's giving him that

920
00:31:54,291 --> 00:31:54,610
instruction.

921
00:31:55,104 --> 00:31:56,379
I'm tempted to read all this verse again,

922
00:31:56,538 --> 00:31:58,291
but I'd... But I'm just... But I've gotta

923
00:31:58,291 --> 00:31:59,110
get to the newer.

924
00:31:59,487 --> 00:32:01,639
But I I want understand the context. So

925
00:32:01,639 --> 00:32:02,457
the command

926
00:32:03,008 --> 00:32:05,154
is this, in light of him telling them,

927
00:32:05,472 --> 00:32:07,699
Timothy and warning them that we brought nothing

928
00:32:07,699 --> 00:32:08,971
in the world. We'll bring nothing out of

929
00:32:08,971 --> 00:32:10,164
the world not to live for the things

930
00:32:10,164 --> 00:32:12,414
this world. In light of warning to him

931
00:32:12,414 --> 00:32:12,815
that way.

932
00:32:13,535 --> 00:32:15,054
He says in verse 11, but what?

933
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:16,994
But flee

934
00:32:17,775 --> 00:32:18,894
these things.

935
00:32:20,588 --> 00:32:22,582
Flee these things what? The desire to be

936
00:32:22,582 --> 00:32:25,135
a rich person. Yeah. Desire to be richer,

937
00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:27,858
and and by the way, guys, we're filthy

938
00:32:27,858 --> 00:32:29,128
rich compared to most of the world. This

939
00:32:29,128 --> 00:32:29,842
just being honest.

940
00:32:30,397 --> 00:32:30,556
K?

941
00:32:31,429 --> 00:32:34,205
Well, wait a minute. He said, you... Contradicts

942
00:32:34,205 --> 00:32:36,204
20 we're we're living... No. Guess what we're

943
00:32:36,204 --> 00:32:37,790
in a a affluent society.

944
00:32:38,742 --> 00:32:38,901
Okay?

945
00:32:41,201 --> 00:32:42,074
We're so rich.

946
00:32:44,393 --> 00:32:47,913
You know, the Emperor had the most incredible

947
00:32:48,685 --> 00:32:49,185
transportation

948
00:32:50,686 --> 00:32:51,640
But if you have a car right now,

949
00:32:51,878 --> 00:32:53,546
your transportation blows his away.

950
00:32:54,658 --> 00:32:56,883
Right? I remember Brian Bean showed with me

951
00:32:56,883 --> 00:32:58,765
1 time. He was reading something about

952
00:32:59,202 --> 00:33:02,146
how that Roman Emperor would sometimes, you know,

953
00:33:02,942 --> 00:33:03,817
want an icy.

954
00:33:04,851 --> 00:33:06,124
Not how he put it, but he'd go

955
00:33:06,124 --> 00:33:07,658
all the way to the swiss alps

956
00:33:08,048 --> 00:33:11,150
not him, but people would take horses in

957
00:33:11,150 --> 00:33:13,059
have horses station in different areas. So a

958
00:33:13,059 --> 00:33:15,127
guy could run a horse to death, they

959
00:33:15,127 --> 00:33:15,923
get on the next horse.

960
00:33:16,734 --> 00:33:18,490
Then get on another horse. And get some

961
00:33:18,490 --> 00:33:20,325
ice for the king and bring it back

962
00:33:20,325 --> 00:33:21,123
horse to horse to horse.

963
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,475
Guess what? You just go to the convenience

964
00:33:24,475 --> 00:33:26,797
store go 07:11. I... And you got flavored

965
00:33:26,797 --> 00:33:28,942
ice. Probably takes way better than what the

966
00:33:28,942 --> 00:33:29,681
king had

967
00:33:30,293 --> 00:33:32,836
with Amp had. Right? We're filthy rich.

968
00:33:37,303 --> 00:33:38,814
Compared to most people in the world you

969
00:33:38,814 --> 00:33:39,291
are as well.

970
00:33:40,165 --> 00:33:42,392
I'm not condemning you. This... We're born into

971
00:33:42,392 --> 00:33:44,714
an affluent society. But what do we live

972
00:33:44,714 --> 00:33:45,351
for? Amen?

973
00:33:46,226 --> 00:33:48,693
Or... And and guess what happens? It's never

974
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:50,683
enough. I always need more. Always need more.

975
00:33:50,922 --> 00:33:51,718
Don't be a leech.

976
00:33:52,514 --> 00:33:52,673
Okay?

977
00:33:53,963 --> 00:33:54,463
And

978
00:33:55,638 --> 00:33:57,632
he gives instruction a little bit later versus

979
00:33:57,632 --> 00:33:59,067
we're going to verse 16 today. We're gonna

980
00:33:59,067 --> 00:34:01,700
finish at verse 16. Lord William. Verse 17,

981
00:34:02,098 --> 00:34:03,349
18 and 19, instruct

982
00:34:03,787 --> 00:34:05,559
Versus versus 10 through

983
00:34:06,570 --> 00:34:08,956
15, he warns about the false teachers who

984
00:34:08,956 --> 00:34:11,103
teach this false doctrine to be rich. And

985
00:34:11,103 --> 00:34:12,534
then he warns about what it is like

986
00:34:12,534 --> 00:34:13,193
for those

987
00:34:13,583 --> 00:34:15,492
the danger to want to be rich, but

988
00:34:15,492 --> 00:34:16,447
versus 17,

989
00:34:17,003 --> 00:34:18,674
18 and 19 he warns, those who are

990
00:34:18,674 --> 00:34:19,469
rich. Okay?

991
00:34:20,757 --> 00:34:23,700
And now I know relative to our society.

992
00:34:23,859 --> 00:34:26,007
There's people that are far richer than probably

993
00:34:26,007 --> 00:34:27,121
all here, you know?

994
00:34:28,170 --> 00:34:28,807
Which is true,

995
00:34:29,444 --> 00:34:30,660
but we have to be careful

996
00:34:31,275 --> 00:34:32,787
that that we keep 2 things in mind.

997
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,038
We shouldn't

998
00:34:35,588 --> 00:34:37,735
live for money number 1. And number 2,

999
00:34:38,132 --> 00:34:40,222
we need to be wise and

1000
00:34:40,676 --> 00:34:42,744
loving and caring and compassionate with the resources

1001
00:34:42,744 --> 00:34:44,175
that god has given us as servants of

1002
00:34:44,254 --> 00:34:46,344
God amen. And that's the instruction that Paul

1003
00:34:46,344 --> 00:34:47,005
will give

1004
00:34:47,304 --> 00:34:48,984
in versus 17 8 to 19, which we

1005
00:34:48,984 --> 00:34:51,065
don't have time to get into. But understand

1006
00:34:51,065 --> 00:34:54,506
this, the context is, after he warns about

1007
00:34:54,506 --> 00:34:57,286
living for to be rich. In that context,

1008
00:34:57,366 --> 00:34:59,273
he says what, verse 11. That's where verse

1009
00:34:59,273 --> 00:35:00,702
11 appears. And this is the command.

1010
00:35:01,353 --> 00:35:03,180
This command this the charge that he gives

1011
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:05,166
Timothy and the presence of of God the

1012
00:35:05,166 --> 00:35:06,040
father and God son.

1013
00:35:07,232 --> 00:35:08,820
But flee from these things.

1014
00:35:09,869 --> 00:35:12,186
Don't be running after the riches, flee from

1015
00:35:12,186 --> 00:35:14,423
these things, you man of God. The only

1016
00:35:14,423 --> 00:35:15,861
time man of God is found in the

1017
00:35:15,861 --> 00:35:16,740
new testament, by the way.

1018
00:35:17,392 --> 00:35:19,939
Timothy called the Man of god. And it's

1019
00:35:19,939 --> 00:35:21,291
reserved to saying, do you wanna be a

1020
00:35:21,291 --> 00:35:22,963
man of God you flee from those things.

1021
00:35:25,365 --> 00:35:27,456
Flee from these things, you man of God

1022
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:28,070
and what?

1023
00:35:29,105 --> 00:35:29,742
Pursue what?

1024
00:35:31,095 --> 00:35:33,005
Now you're fleeing, but you're not just fleeing

1025
00:35:33,005 --> 00:35:34,014
away from something you're

1026
00:35:34,530 --> 00:35:37,703
pursuing, you're fleeing something, but you're also following

1027
00:35:37,703 --> 00:35:38,258
something else.

1028
00:35:39,210 --> 00:35:41,614
You're following after you're pursuing righteousness.

1029
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:42,980
God,

1030
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,079
faith,

1031
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:45,280
love,

1032
00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:46,339
perseverance

1033
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,619
and gentleness.

1034
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:50,000
These things that riches can't buy.

1035
00:35:51,131 --> 00:35:52,905
But these things with which

1036
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:54,554
without you are empty.

1037
00:35:55,669 --> 00:35:57,124
If you don't have righteousness,

1038
00:35:57,738 --> 00:35:58,238
god,

1039
00:35:58,629 --> 00:36:00,221
you don't have faith. Possibly if you don't

1040
00:36:00,221 --> 00:36:01,177
have love, you're wed.

1041
00:36:01,893 --> 00:36:04,281
You're nothing, perseverance and gentleness,

1042
00:36:05,077 --> 00:36:07,242
gentleness fruit of the spirit. If the the

1043
00:36:07,242 --> 00:36:09,234
lost world system doesn't have true love. They

1044
00:36:09,234 --> 00:36:10,371
don't have the Ag

1045
00:36:10,907 --> 00:36:12,580
or the ag agave love of God and

1046
00:36:12,580 --> 00:36:13,217
they're empty.

1047
00:36:14,028 --> 00:36:16,809
So flee these things, you man have God

1048
00:36:16,809 --> 00:36:18,795
and pursue righteousness god in his faith love

1049
00:36:18,795 --> 00:36:21,257
and perseverance and gentleness. And then what? What's

1050
00:36:21,257 --> 00:36:21,734
the next word?

1051
00:36:22,704 --> 00:36:24,220
This is part of the command. This is

1052
00:36:24,220 --> 00:36:25,816
part of the charge, fight the good fight.

1053
00:36:25,976 --> 00:36:28,130
There it is. A faith. Amen. So you

1054
00:36:28,130 --> 00:36:29,886
could have 3 f's here. Flee,

1055
00:36:30,698 --> 00:36:34,107
follow and fight. Here's the command, guys. Flee,

1056
00:36:34,741 --> 00:36:37,595
right? Flee, try to pursue riches. Don't do

1057
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:37,753
that.

1058
00:36:38,404 --> 00:36:41,117
Follow after righteousness and the things he's mentioned

1059
00:36:41,117 --> 00:36:42,713
there and fight the good fight of faith

1060
00:36:42,713 --> 00:36:44,149
they hold on eternal life. Amen,

1061
00:36:44,867 --> 00:36:46,878
This is the command. This is a charge.

1062
00:36:47,198 --> 00:36:49,276
So in your life, brothers and sisters,

1063
00:36:50,155 --> 00:36:52,233
you should actively keep in mind throughout your

1064
00:36:52,233 --> 00:36:54,811
christian walk that I need to flee the

1065
00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:55,110
temptation.

1066
00:36:56,004 --> 00:36:56,483
To be rich.

1067
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,237
I need to pursue,

1068
00:36:59,035 --> 00:37:02,464
follow after righteousness and and faith and love

1069
00:37:02,464 --> 00:37:04,698
and, you know, perseverance god is, all these

1070
00:37:04,698 --> 00:37:06,388
things he mentions here. Gentleness.

1071
00:37:07,904 --> 00:37:10,138
And said very, very important that we get

1072
00:37:10,138 --> 00:37:11,814
this. In fact, you know a lot of

1073
00:37:11,814 --> 00:37:13,903
people have favorite portion of scripture, know, it's

1074
00:37:13,903 --> 00:37:15,260
portion of the scripture sometimes that you just

1075
00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:16,218
go to. Right?

1076
00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:18,133
You just go to,

1077
00:37:18,931 --> 00:37:20,607
some some of you open up the book

1078
00:37:20,607 --> 00:37:22,617
of psalms. Right? You Some of you like

1079
00:37:22,617 --> 00:37:24,453
to go to the proverbs, You know, Mark

1080
00:37:24,613 --> 00:37:26,449
Hunter, you know, lisa's brother,

1081
00:37:27,486 --> 00:37:29,082
comes Sundays. He lives out of towns, but

1082
00:37:29,082 --> 00:37:30,120
but he comes most Sundays.

1083
00:37:30,612 --> 00:37:33,155
And sometimes mid week. He's always reading proverbs.

1084
00:37:33,712 --> 00:37:35,143
Oh, and an over again. He loves problems.

1085
00:37:35,460 --> 00:37:36,732
He reads a lot about the scripture too,

1086
00:37:37,050 --> 00:37:38,004
but he loves prove.

1087
00:37:40,804 --> 00:37:41,440
That's awesome.

1088
00:37:42,157 --> 00:37:43,909
Some love to focus on those 2 books,

1089
00:37:44,068 --> 00:37:46,059
some love to focus. You know what? A

1090
00:37:46,059 --> 00:37:47,731
focus should be for your Christian walk at

1091
00:37:47,731 --> 00:37:49,655
times. If you wanna make sure you keep

1092
00:37:49,655 --> 00:37:51,402
your walk right with God right here in

1093
00:37:51,402 --> 00:37:52,276
this portion of scripture.

1094
00:37:53,468 --> 00:37:54,581
It's Wise Counsel.

1095
00:37:55,454 --> 00:37:58,251
It's a very powerful. If poor of scripture

1096
00:37:58,251 --> 00:37:59,682
to keep our focus right.

1097
00:38:00,317 --> 00:38:01,748
What we should be fleeing from, what we're

1098
00:38:01,748 --> 00:38:03,679
supposed to be pursuing and following

1099
00:38:04,132 --> 00:38:06,453
and how we're supposed to be fighting the

1100
00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:08,865
good fight amen. It's a very, very important

1101
00:38:09,003 --> 00:38:12,508
passage of scripture. I love this. So... But

1102
00:38:12,508 --> 00:38:13,464
he but it's interesting.

1103
00:38:14,022 --> 00:38:15,829
So he tells him what the flee from

1104
00:38:16,029 --> 00:38:17,701
tells them what to follow, tells me how

1105
00:38:17,701 --> 00:38:19,055
to fight the good fight and lay hold

1106
00:38:19,055 --> 00:38:21,444
on nature eternal life. This is the command.

1107
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,550
This is the the charge for Timothy,

1108
00:38:24,884 --> 00:38:27,116
And guess what? Think out revolutionary that is.

1109
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:30,384
If you truly are fleeing,

1110
00:38:30,942 --> 00:38:32,536
living for the material world.

1111
00:38:33,590 --> 00:38:35,190
Praise the Lord the... We're gonna talk about,

1112
00:38:35,989 --> 00:38:37,750
next time we get together because either instruct

1113
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:38,869
those who are rich in this world.

1114
00:38:39,829 --> 00:38:41,510
Anybody who has things, material things,

1115
00:38:43,442 --> 00:38:44,798
that he god gives gets has given us

1116
00:38:44,798 --> 00:38:47,293
all things to enjoy. So I'm not preaching

1117
00:38:47,351 --> 00:38:48,649
pure as

1118
00:38:49,027 --> 00:38:50,873
and God wants to have anything, we should

1119
00:38:50,873 --> 00:38:52,703
all leave in live in tents and and

1120
00:38:52,703 --> 00:38:54,771
find out how somewhere and or whatever, or

1121
00:38:54,771 --> 00:38:56,815
no. I'm not talking like that. Okay? About

1122
00:38:57,013 --> 00:38:58,520
That's the other... That's the other extreme. I'm

1123
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,661
not talking about that. I'm talking about not

1124
00:39:00,661 --> 00:39:03,462
living for things, but living for Jesus. Seeking

1125
00:39:03,517 --> 00:39:05,835
first, the king of God. And his righteousness.

1126
00:39:06,074 --> 00:39:08,141
Hey men, are you with me? Sir Seek

1127
00:39:08,141 --> 00:39:09,733
first kindergarten got his races all these things

1128
00:39:09,733 --> 00:39:11,324
about it to you? Woo, he's not a

1129
00:39:11,324 --> 00:39:13,094
against the things. Seek for his kingdom of

1130
00:39:13,174 --> 00:39:15,014
God and as righteousness and all these things

1131
00:39:15,014 --> 00:39:16,454
will be added to you. He wants to

1132
00:39:16,454 --> 00:39:17,974
bless you with things. In fact, he tells,

1133
00:39:18,534 --> 00:39:19,815
instruct those that are rich in this world

1134
00:39:19,815 --> 00:39:21,094
versus 17 18 19.

1135
00:39:22,466 --> 00:39:24,539
To share their wealth with others and God's

1136
00:39:24,539 --> 00:39:26,613
give us all things to enjoy. Sir. So

1137
00:39:26,613 --> 00:39:29,005
he does wanna bless you. So I'm not

1138
00:39:29,005 --> 00:39:31,093
trying to be, like, holy, man, if if

1139
00:39:31,093 --> 00:39:32,922
you have anything, you should you should feel

1140
00:39:32,922 --> 00:39:35,229
guilty. No. But I'm saying if you live

1141
00:39:35,229 --> 00:39:36,581
for those things, you don't live for Jesus,

1142
00:39:36,740 --> 00:39:38,590
you ought to feel guilty. Sir You ought

1143
00:39:38,590 --> 00:39:40,349
to confess that and repent of that and

1144
00:39:40,349 --> 00:39:41,950
make sure you're putting Jesus first. Amen.

1145
00:39:44,110 --> 00:39:46,190
Amen. Are you with me tonight? Yes, sir.

1146
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:48,523
Praise the Lord. Or some you saying, I

1147
00:39:48,523 --> 00:39:50,441
wish you would preach like this. No. That's

1148
00:39:50,441 --> 00:39:52,438
why you come here, Amen. We get into

1149
00:39:52,438 --> 00:39:53,956
the word. You know, We love the Lord

1150
00:39:53,956 --> 00:39:55,567
we wanna do his well, Lord. Help us

1151
00:39:55,567 --> 00:39:56,838
to wanna do your will more and where

1152
00:39:56,838 --> 00:39:58,426
we praise your name you are so good,

1153
00:39:58,585 --> 00:39:58,744
Lord.

1154
00:39:59,459 --> 00:39:59,697
So,

1155
00:40:02,001 --> 00:40:03,113
then he says in verse 12,

1156
00:40:03,843 --> 00:40:05,591
that the middle of verse 12 because that

1157
00:40:05,591 --> 00:40:07,338
we kinda cut it off the middle of

1158
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:07,735
verse 12,

1159
00:40:08,530 --> 00:40:10,039
b, 12 b will call it. And you

1160
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:11,549
made a good confession in the presence of

1161
00:40:11,549 --> 00:40:13,317
many witnesses. I charge you the presence of

1162
00:40:13,396 --> 00:40:15,871
God who gives life to all things and

1163
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:18,106
and of Christ Jesus who testified the good

1164
00:40:18,106 --> 00:40:20,101
confession before conscious pilot. Right?

1165
00:40:20,993 --> 00:40:22,340
And that it's... In that context that he

1166
00:40:22,340 --> 00:40:23,450
says you keep the command,

1167
00:40:25,274 --> 00:40:27,969
without saying or approach. So that's the command,

1168
00:40:28,128 --> 00:40:28,286
guys.

1169
00:40:29,019 --> 00:40:30,697
Man, if you can say, hey, man, this

1170
00:40:30,697 --> 00:40:32,535
is an important charge that Lord's giving me.

1171
00:40:32,934 --> 00:40:34,773
Don't live for this world system, live for

1172
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:38,223
Jesus. Amen, and fight the good fight. Your

1173
00:40:38,223 --> 00:40:40,853
your Christian Blanc be in great shape. It's

1174
00:40:40,853 --> 00:40:41,752
not that complicated.

1175
00:40:42,368 --> 00:40:43,643
Are you fighting a good fight? First of

1176
00:40:43,643 --> 00:40:45,158
all, you fleeing those things? Or you're fleeing

1177
00:40:45,158 --> 00:40:45,715
after those things?

1178
00:40:46,844 --> 00:40:48,376
Second of all, are you pursuing

1179
00:40:48,989 --> 00:40:50,521
righteousness. Right? God.

1180
00:40:51,054 --> 00:40:54,244
Right? Faith and love, and you know, gentleness,

1181
00:40:54,402 --> 00:40:55,670
are you pursuing these things?

1182
00:40:56,542 --> 00:40:58,364
It's very, very important. And notice what he

1183
00:40:58,364 --> 00:41:00,028
says at the end of verse 14,

1184
00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:02,595
that you keep the command with without stain

1185
00:41:02,595 --> 00:41:03,952
or rep approach until what.

1186
00:41:05,708 --> 00:41:08,661
Until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1187
00:41:10,272 --> 00:41:12,502
Until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1188
00:41:13,856 --> 00:41:15,927
Now this is amazing because he's emphasized our

1189
00:41:15,927 --> 00:41:18,019
focus should be the lord's return

1190
00:41:19,525 --> 00:41:21,197
now, Lord's return is it just an event,

1191
00:41:21,435 --> 00:41:24,164
it's the event in the future because everything

1192
00:41:24,937 --> 00:41:26,131
flows to him.

1193
00:41:26,623 --> 00:41:28,773
At the end, and every knee confess every

1194
00:41:28,773 --> 00:41:31,321
tongue confess. Every knee bowser say every tongue...

1195
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,232
And the every knee confess the little knee.

1196
00:41:33,471 --> 00:41:35,794
Praise jesus. You know, but every knee will

1197
00:41:35,794 --> 00:41:38,418
confess every tongue, every knee will bow. Every

1198
00:41:38,418 --> 00:41:39,690
tongue will confess. I didn't it again.

1199
00:41:40,406 --> 00:41:42,155
That he is Lord Of, and that's everybody

1200
00:41:42,155 --> 00:41:44,541
on earth, you know, in heaven under the

1201
00:41:44,541 --> 00:41:47,994
earth everywhere. Everyone's confess. Everything's flowing to the

1202
00:41:47,994 --> 00:41:48,474
throne guys,

1203
00:41:49,594 --> 00:41:51,034
and everything's gonna be transformed.

1204
00:41:51,355 --> 00:41:52,074
You be with him,

1205
00:41:52,968 --> 00:41:53,787
away from him

1206
00:41:54,405 --> 00:41:55,043
forever and ever.

1207
00:41:55,761 --> 00:41:58,554
So that's what we're looking forward to. And

1208
00:41:58,554 --> 00:42:01,360
this command about his appearing whether you're alive

1209
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,030
or dead. It matters because guess what. If

1210
00:42:03,030 --> 00:42:04,700
you're dead, the dead Chris arrives first, they're

1211
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:06,290
looking forward to a companies as well. Guys,

1212
00:42:06,608 --> 00:42:07,801
they're gonna they're gonna come with him with

1213
00:42:07,801 --> 00:42:08,994
the armies they heaven And when we caught

1214
00:42:08,994 --> 00:42:10,027
beat them there, then they're gonna come and

1215
00:42:10,027 --> 00:42:12,025
rain. So you're always should be looking for

1216
00:42:12,025 --> 00:42:14,164
the second covenant of Christ, whether you are

1217
00:42:14,164 --> 00:42:15,432
alive or whether you're dead. Think about it

1218
00:42:15,432 --> 00:42:16,541
that way. It's pretty heavy. When we think

1219
00:42:16,541 --> 00:42:17,017
about like that.

1220
00:42:18,063 --> 00:42:20,533
Now now, it's quite interesting because this reminds

1221
00:42:20,533 --> 00:42:21,033
me

1222
00:42:21,808 --> 00:42:22,047
of

1223
00:42:23,481 --> 00:42:26,049
this this word appearing here and the context

1224
00:42:26,049 --> 00:42:27,650
of living a holy life and not living

1225
00:42:27,650 --> 00:42:29,670
for the world reminds me of a warning

1226
00:42:29,809 --> 00:42:30,609
in first Peter,

1227
00:42:31,329 --> 00:42:31,969
chapter 3.

1228
00:42:32,543 --> 00:42:34,393
In first, Peter chapter 3 verse 17,

1229
00:42:35,163 --> 00:42:37,546
he's also telling him telling them to to

1230
00:42:37,546 --> 00:42:39,134
not let the world suck him in to

1231
00:42:39,134 --> 00:42:40,643
look forward to the lord's return and to

1232
00:42:40,643 --> 00:42:42,804
live pure in holy lives. In verse 13

1233
00:42:42,804 --> 00:42:45,108
he says, therefore, Peter says, prepare your minds

1234
00:42:45,108 --> 00:42:45,744
for action.

1235
00:42:46,460 --> 00:42:47,652
Keep sober and spirit.

1236
00:42:48,288 --> 00:42:51,033
Keep sober and spirit fix your hope completely

1237
00:42:51,092 --> 00:42:52,691
on the grace to be brought to you

1238
00:42:52,691 --> 00:42:55,328
at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient

1239
00:42:55,328 --> 00:42:57,565
children do not be conform to the former

1240
00:42:57,565 --> 00:42:59,735
lust, which were yours in your ignorance. In

1241
00:42:59,735 --> 00:43:02,048
other words, don't go after those things, flee

1242
00:43:02,048 --> 00:43:02,767
those former less,

1243
00:43:03,485 --> 00:43:05,734
verse 15, but like the the 1 like

1244
00:43:05,734 --> 00:43:07,809
the holy 1 who called you. Be holy

1245
00:43:07,809 --> 00:43:10,524
yourselves also in all your behavior because it

1246
00:43:10,524 --> 00:43:12,280
is written, you shall be holy for I

1247
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:12,839
am holy.

1248
00:43:13,717 --> 00:43:14,776
If you address

1249
00:43:15,089 --> 00:43:17,885
as father, the 1 you who partially judges.

1250
00:43:18,285 --> 00:43:20,282
Remember he's watching everything. He's the witness, According

1251
00:43:20,282 --> 00:43:23,091
to each one's work, conduct yourselves, in the

1252
00:43:23,091 --> 00:43:24,998
in fear during the time of your stay

1253
00:43:24,998 --> 00:43:26,984
on earth, conduct yourselves in the fear of

1254
00:43:26,984 --> 00:43:27,938
god while you're on Earth,

1255
00:43:29,606 --> 00:43:31,767
that sounds a lot like, you know, I

1256
00:43:31,767 --> 00:43:33,358
charge you the presence of God. Amen.

1257
00:43:34,233 --> 00:43:36,540
Out of the Lord Jesus Christ. He's gonna

1258
00:43:36,540 --> 00:43:38,074
judge us, and we need to... We

1259
00:43:38,543 --> 00:43:40,533
your life and my life should be revolutionized

1260
00:43:40,533 --> 00:43:41,648
by the fear of god, the fact that

1261
00:43:41,648 --> 00:43:43,080
we're gonna stand before the 1 who judges

1262
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,229
all things. Amen. Now we should be grateful

1263
00:43:45,229 --> 00:43:46,662
and praise god and say thank you, jesus

1264
00:43:46,662 --> 00:43:47,856
for dying for my sins. I'm saved.

1265
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:50,659
Amen, But we're also still gonna still stand

1266
00:43:50,659 --> 00:43:52,491
you for the judgment seat of Christ. A

1267
00:43:52,491 --> 00:43:54,005
give an account for our lives. So it's

1268
00:43:54,005 --> 00:43:56,713
live lives that are worthy of our calling

1269
00:43:56,713 --> 00:43:58,643
as we're commanded. And we wanna hear, we

1270
00:43:58,643 --> 00:44:00,082
we will hear well done good faithful servant.

1271
00:44:00,242 --> 00:44:02,160
You're faithful of the, you know, small amount

1272
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:03,678
of things. Now you'll be ruler of many

1273
00:44:03,678 --> 00:44:05,197
enter into the the the the joy of

1274
00:44:05,197 --> 00:44:07,035
your Lord. We're looking forward to that Amen.

1275
00:44:07,928 --> 00:44:11,357
Now it's interesting. Notice the translation, and I

1276
00:44:11,357 --> 00:44:13,271
don't care what you have for the most

1277
00:44:13,271 --> 00:44:14,547
part, I think they probably all use the

1278
00:44:14,547 --> 00:44:16,302
same word appearing there.

1279
00:44:17,433 --> 00:44:17,752
Appearing.

1280
00:44:18,708 --> 00:44:18,947
Right?

1281
00:44:19,585 --> 00:44:21,259
So it's important that you get this is

1282
00:44:21,259 --> 00:44:21,759
that

1283
00:44:22,216 --> 00:44:22,694
he says,

1284
00:44:23,571 --> 00:44:25,187
that you to keep the command

1285
00:44:25,737 --> 00:44:28,282
without staying or approach until the appearing of

1286
00:44:28,282 --> 00:44:30,430
our Lord, Jesus Christ.

1287
00:44:31,702 --> 00:44:33,713
That's interesting that he uses that word appearing

1288
00:44:34,184 --> 00:44:35,643
because the word appearing there

1289
00:44:36,181 --> 00:44:38,119
is a greek word that's not used often

1290
00:44:38,338 --> 00:44:40,175
of Jesus is coming, let's it's used a

1291
00:44:40,175 --> 00:44:42,343
few times, in the pastor roll epi,

1292
00:44:43,059 --> 00:44:44,594
to use more than once. It's used

1293
00:44:45,368 --> 00:44:46,960
in Second thessalonians it's 2 8 of Christ

1294
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,052
coming. But it's a it's an interesting

1295
00:44:49,363 --> 00:44:51,291
Greek word. It's a pi... P.

1296
00:44:51,823 --> 00:44:52,061
K?

1297
00:44:52,695 --> 00:44:55,552
Or epi Fe. Cam I'm I'm I'm connect...

1298
00:44:55,790 --> 00:44:56,480
I'm, I'm

1299
00:44:57,077 --> 00:44:58,672
putting the English word with the Greek word

1300
00:44:58,672 --> 00:45:00,665
and pronouncing it wrong, but it's a...

1301
00:45:01,702 --> 00:45:02,600
It's a Pi.

1302
00:45:03,775 --> 00:45:04,652
Okay. Ep,

1303
00:45:05,622 --> 00:45:07,234
like Epi epicenter, epi,

1304
00:45:07,608 --> 00:45:10,253
Ep, in the word, ep

1305
00:45:10,626 --> 00:45:11,126
Fe.

1306
00:45:11,659 --> 00:45:13,804
Okay? Or what English would you think comes

1307
00:45:13,804 --> 00:45:14,463
from Epi?

1308
00:45:15,887 --> 00:45:16,286
What's that?

1309
00:45:17,243 --> 00:45:17,642
Epiphany.

1310
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:18,519
Epiphany.

1311
00:45:19,875 --> 00:45:20,375
Epi

1312
00:45:20,912 --> 00:45:23,385
is the word from which we get epiphany,

1313
00:45:25,634 --> 00:45:28,031
Another greek word. That's used of the coming

1314
00:45:28,031 --> 00:45:29,490
more often is par.

1315
00:45:30,189 --> 00:45:32,586
Par means speaks of his presence is coming,

1316
00:45:32,906 --> 00:45:33,785
the second coming.

1317
00:45:34,754 --> 00:45:35,389
Of Jesus,

1318
00:45:35,945 --> 00:45:38,167
another Greek word speaking of his coming is

1319
00:45:38,167 --> 00:45:38,667
apocalypse.

1320
00:45:40,389 --> 00:45:41,635
K? The word

1321
00:45:42,151 --> 00:45:44,931
Per is AAA word that speaks of come

1322
00:45:44,931 --> 00:45:46,067
in. Apocalypse

1323
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:47,576
speaks of unveiling

1324
00:45:48,029 --> 00:45:50,015
like the apocalypse, but it's use of his

1325
00:45:50,015 --> 00:45:51,071
coming. The apocalypse

1326
00:45:51,619 --> 00:45:53,760
with the word apocalypse from it. Apocalypse is

1327
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:54,260
also

1328
00:45:54,871 --> 00:45:57,330
unveiling, like, lifting the curtain, taking the lid

1329
00:45:57,330 --> 00:45:58,385
off, unveiling

1330
00:45:58,934 --> 00:45:59,175
But,

1331
00:45:59,894 --> 00:46:00,875
ep Fe,

1332
00:46:02,054 --> 00:46:04,635
the epiphany of Christ, the epi

1333
00:46:05,175 --> 00:46:06,454
has to do with

1334
00:46:06,855 --> 00:46:07,815
Jesus appearing.

1335
00:46:08,546 --> 00:46:11,162
Epiphany. And it's a very interesting Greek word.

1336
00:46:12,510 --> 00:46:13,485
It's a supernatural

1337
00:46:14,254 --> 00:46:17,050
manifestation of divine reality, a moment of great

1338
00:46:17,050 --> 00:46:19,360
or sudden revelation when it's used for somebody

1339
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,671
of a revelation that God truly gives you

1340
00:46:21,671 --> 00:46:23,026
from his word by his spirit,

1341
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:24,559
so it's interesting,

1342
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,000
but it speaks of,

1343
00:46:26,639 --> 00:46:27,839
of his appearing,

1344
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,519
his little appearing.

1345
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,440
Every eye will what.

1346
00:46:32,255 --> 00:46:34,575
See him. And they also which pierce all

1347
00:46:34,575 --> 00:46:35,695
are well because we used.

1348
00:46:36,335 --> 00:46:38,095
Gonna see him. Jesus says I'm not coming

1349
00:46:38,095 --> 00:46:38,494
secretly.

1350
00:46:39,135 --> 00:46:39,295
Right?

1351
00:46:40,030 --> 00:46:40,750
But he says what?

1352
00:46:41,390 --> 00:46:42,750
When I come back, it won't be like

1353
00:46:42,750 --> 00:46:44,349
the secret rapture. He says if they say,

1354
00:46:44,430 --> 00:46:46,269
it's... I'm secret, don't believe him. He said,

1355
00:46:46,510 --> 00:46:48,190
I come back, be like lightning shining for

1356
00:46:48,190 --> 00:46:49,309
these east to the west. You can't miss

1357
00:46:49,309 --> 00:46:51,943
it. Hey, amen. This is a glorious appearing

1358
00:46:51,943 --> 00:46:54,163
that we long for. In Titus chapter 2

1359
00:46:54,163 --> 00:46:55,907
verse 11, we read for the grace of

1360
00:46:56,066 --> 00:46:58,868
God has appeared. Bringing salvation to all men,

1361
00:46:59,347 --> 00:47:01,505
instructing us to deny and god and worldly

1362
00:47:01,505 --> 00:47:03,902
desires and to live sen righteous godly in

1363
00:47:03,902 --> 00:47:06,755
this present world. Looking for the blessed hope

1364
00:47:07,112 --> 00:47:09,420
and the appearing of our the glory of

1365
00:47:09,420 --> 00:47:11,648
our Great God and savior Christ Jesus, who

1366
00:47:11,648 --> 00:47:13,240
gave himself for us to redeem us from

1367
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:15,562
every law deed, and a purify for himself

1368
00:47:15,562 --> 00:47:18,846
a people for his own possession, Zealous for

1369
00:47:18,983 --> 00:47:20,653
good deeds. Isn't that awesome?

1370
00:47:21,623 --> 00:47:22,123
So

1371
00:47:22,661 --> 00:47:24,336
we're looking forward for the blessed hope.

1372
00:47:25,852 --> 00:47:27,608
Some people like, oh, man, There's... Give you

1373
00:47:27,608 --> 00:47:29,853
a blessed hope and you know, the church

1374
00:47:29,853 --> 00:47:32,082
got shaken recently is... I can't tell you

1375
00:47:32,082 --> 00:47:33,833
how many of you and other people outside

1376
00:47:33,833 --> 00:47:35,265
the church text me after,

1377
00:47:36,380 --> 00:47:39,028
you you know, this... What something what's the

1378
00:47:39,028 --> 00:47:39,427
guy's name.

1379
00:47:40,385 --> 00:47:42,699
He was on Tucker Carlson, a country artist,

1380
00:47:43,656 --> 00:47:45,748
John Rich. And they go. Everybody's he's like,

1381
00:47:45,828 --> 00:47:46,946
did you see him? He was on Tucker

1382
00:47:47,026 --> 00:47:49,583
Carlson, and he started reading from the scripture

1383
00:47:49,583 --> 00:47:51,340
saying, we're not... We're gonna go through the

1384
00:47:51,340 --> 00:47:52,710
tribulation. A lot of pre trevor is gonna

1385
00:47:52,710 --> 00:47:53,985
get upset with me with saying this, but

1386
00:47:53,985 --> 00:47:55,260
it's true. And Tucker was like, I didn't

1387
00:47:55,260 --> 00:47:56,694
even heard about what we're gonna go through

1388
00:47:56,694 --> 00:47:58,367
and Tucker was, I just read the bible

1389
00:47:58,367 --> 00:48:00,678
last year. And he reads him second thessalonians

1390
00:48:00,678 --> 00:48:03,580
his chapter 2. You know, first few verses

1391
00:48:04,034 --> 00:48:05,306
that don't be deceived. Right?

1392
00:48:07,056 --> 00:48:07,373
What's that?

1393
00:48:10,014 --> 00:48:11,772
Fine. So. He did pick up on buying

1394
00:48:11,772 --> 00:48:12,172
and selling.

1395
00:48:12,971 --> 00:48:13,291
Yeah.

1396
00:48:14,889 --> 00:48:16,727
Yeah. Tucker was kinda startled. I never read

1397
00:48:16,727 --> 00:48:17,446
that. And almost it's here.

1398
00:48:18,405 --> 00:48:20,092
Yeah. Well, he said he didn't he didn't

1399
00:48:20,092 --> 00:48:21,999
understand it. You know? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't

1400
00:48:21,999 --> 00:48:24,383
understand it. So... And and then guess what?

1401
00:48:24,543 --> 00:48:25,893
The Internet went wild. You know?

1402
00:48:26,704 --> 00:48:27,742
I can't believe this guys guy said when

1403
00:48:27,742 --> 00:48:29,896
you go through the tribulation. Takes a country

1404
00:48:29,896 --> 00:48:31,412
artist to say this to people. It's like,

1405
00:48:31,572 --> 00:48:33,886
come on, man. So this kind of a

1406
00:48:33,886 --> 00:48:36,128
trip. You know? So we're looking for not

1407
00:48:36,128 --> 00:48:38,217
a secret rapture. We're looking for his glorious

1408
00:48:38,273 --> 00:48:38,987
appearing Ama amen.

1409
00:48:39,781 --> 00:48:41,766
Every I will see him, like Late Shining

1410
00:48:41,766 --> 00:48:43,449
for the east to west. Jesus said in

1411
00:48:43,528 --> 00:48:45,750
Matthew 25 31 but when the son comes

1412
00:48:45,750 --> 00:48:46,622
in his glory.

1413
00:48:47,098 --> 00:48:49,003
And all the angels with him, then he

1414
00:48:49,003 --> 00:48:51,239
will sit on his glorious thrown. It's gonna

1415
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,462
be not this little squeaky thing that happens

1416
00:48:53,462 --> 00:48:54,255
that people miss.

1417
00:48:55,049 --> 00:48:56,953
It's gonna be happy with a Trumpet man,

1418
00:48:57,192 --> 00:48:59,271
and with a roar. Right? The voice of

1419
00:48:59,271 --> 00:49:01,735
the arch angel. Right? Every Eye will see

1420
00:49:01,735 --> 00:49:03,428
him. It's gonna be a glorious glorious

1421
00:49:03,803 --> 00:49:04,121
appearing.

1422
00:49:04,757 --> 00:49:06,529
And it trips me out guys because

1423
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:08,599
when you look at the text here,

1424
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,400
and I think about this,

1425
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:14,059
that word, epi.

1426
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:15,320
K?

1427
00:49:17,091 --> 00:49:17,829
That word

1428
00:49:18,443 --> 00:49:21,089
of his or his appearing is used

1429
00:49:21,861 --> 00:49:23,156
in Timothy as well

1430
00:49:24,087 --> 00:49:25,438
of his first coming.

1431
00:49:27,438 --> 00:49:28,945
He didn't come as some phantom in his

1432
00:49:28,945 --> 00:49:29,501
first coming.

1433
00:49:31,167 --> 00:49:31,802
He didn't come,

1434
00:49:32,833 --> 00:49:33,150
you know,

1435
00:49:35,227 --> 00:49:35,727
secretly.

1436
00:49:36,416 --> 00:49:38,396
In fact, listen to what second Timothy 01:10

1437
00:49:38,396 --> 00:49:38,634
says,

1438
00:49:39,268 --> 00:49:41,011
but now has... But now,

1439
00:49:42,058 --> 00:49:44,790
has been revealed by the appearing

1440
00:49:45,247 --> 00:49:45,747
epi

1441
00:49:46,682 --> 00:49:50,211
of our savior Christ Jesus who abolished death

1442
00:49:50,525 --> 00:49:53,085
and brought life and immortality to light through

1443
00:49:53,085 --> 00:49:54,125
the gospel. Amen.

1444
00:49:55,085 --> 00:49:57,405
And it talks about his glorious appearing, the

1445
00:49:57,405 --> 00:49:58,365
second coming in Titus.

1446
00:49:59,019 --> 00:50:01,097
Verse 13, but look at verse 11, for

1447
00:50:01,097 --> 00:50:02,795
the grace of God has appeared

1448
00:50:03,253 --> 00:50:05,810
appeared epi finance, the related that we're same

1449
00:50:05,810 --> 00:50:08,457
word. Bringing salvation to all men. His first

1450
00:50:08,457 --> 00:50:09,813
coming was an appearing amen.

1451
00:50:10,690 --> 00:50:12,604
His second coming is a second appearing.

1452
00:50:13,401 --> 00:50:15,076
God promised that he would come the first

1453
00:50:15,076 --> 00:50:15,576
time

1454
00:50:15,889 --> 00:50:17,563
Did Jesus come the first time? Yes.

1455
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:18,760
He did.

1456
00:50:20,115 --> 00:50:20,992
We're day ready?

1457
00:50:21,869 --> 00:50:23,943
Some were some weren't. Yes. Is he coming

1458
00:50:23,943 --> 00:50:26,510
a second time? Just like those prophecies were

1459
00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:28,583
fulfilled brothers sisters. These prophecies are gonna be

1460
00:50:28,583 --> 00:50:28,823
fulfilled.

1461
00:50:29,780 --> 00:50:32,172
Okay? And just like, first coming was history,

1462
00:50:32,332 --> 00:50:34,565
someday is second coming, will be history.

1463
00:50:35,059 --> 00:50:37,380
Question is what side of history will you

1464
00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:39,220
be on? In fact, it's interesting.

1465
00:50:39,780 --> 00:50:42,599
Those 2 Greek words, par for coming

1466
00:50:42,914 --> 00:50:46,257
and epi Fe for appearing. Those 2 greek

1467
00:50:46,257 --> 00:50:46,757
words

1468
00:50:47,132 --> 00:50:48,883
appear in 1 verse together of his coming.

1469
00:50:49,122 --> 00:50:51,510
In second thessalonians chapter 2. Same chapter you're

1470
00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:53,117
just talking about. Ray Mark, where talks about

1471
00:50:53,117 --> 00:50:55,268
the coming the ana antichrist, and Jesus defeating

1472
00:50:55,268 --> 00:50:58,057
him, and it says, in verse 8, then

1473
00:50:58,057 --> 00:51:00,208
the La 1. That's Si antichrist. Then the

1474
00:51:00,287 --> 00:51:01,402
La 1 will be revealed.

1475
00:51:02,692 --> 00:51:03,728
And, by the way, a lot of people

1476
00:51:03,728 --> 00:51:05,184
are saying that Trump

1477
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,189
is the antichrist because he had a a

1478
00:51:08,189 --> 00:51:09,088
deadly wound

1479
00:51:09,796 --> 00:51:11,784
and then he was healed, and then you

1480
00:51:11,784 --> 00:51:13,373
say, it grace his ear.

1481
00:51:13,930 --> 00:51:15,202
I'm sure that hurt. It's not a... It's

1482
00:51:15,202 --> 00:51:17,920
a bummer, but he it wasn't what says

1483
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:19,352
how the appearance of daily wound?

1484
00:51:20,386 --> 00:51:20,864
Yeah.

1485
00:51:22,295 --> 00:51:23,989
Appearance of a daily wound means

1486
00:51:24,379 --> 00:51:25,658
a deli wound. That doesn't appear to be

1487
00:51:25,658 --> 00:51:27,496
a deadly wound. And then it says he'll

1488
00:51:27,496 --> 00:51:29,413
be healed in the world with marvel. Is

1489
00:51:29,413 --> 00:51:30,932
everybody tripping Like, whoa,

1490
00:51:31,411 --> 00:51:32,530
Trump got a healed.

1491
00:51:33,103 --> 00:51:36,838
From that that that ear blow. He's he's

1492
00:51:36,838 --> 00:51:37,338
whoa.

1493
00:51:38,030 --> 00:51:40,588
No. Come on, guys. Okay. I'm sorry. If

1494
00:51:40,588 --> 00:51:42,098
you're watching on Live stream, I love you

1495
00:51:42,098 --> 00:51:43,291
if that's your. I don't know it's not

1496
00:51:43,291 --> 00:51:44,745
personal. I don't know who has a you

1497
00:51:44,802 --> 00:51:45,994
saw it's out there chad dealt with it

1498
00:51:45,994 --> 00:51:47,585
in 1 of our podcasts, You know, you

1499
00:51:47,585 --> 00:51:49,254
gonna wanna check that out for a deeper

1500
00:51:49,254 --> 00:51:49,652
review of that.

1501
00:51:50,778 --> 00:51:51,334
But guys,

1502
00:51:51,969 --> 00:51:53,953
let's be careful when we pinned the tail

1503
00:51:53,953 --> 00:51:54,984
on the Ana antichrist. Okay?

1504
00:51:55,778 --> 00:51:57,682
You know? Because he... Can make us look

1505
00:51:57,682 --> 00:52:00,001
foolish, you know? Now I'm not saying not

1506
00:52:00,001 --> 00:52:02,306
to keep your eye on world leaders. I

1507
00:52:02,306 --> 00:52:03,736
keep my on everybody. I keep my on

1508
00:52:03,816 --> 00:52:05,723
Trump. I keep my eye on everybody. Okay?

1509
00:52:06,854 --> 00:52:08,372
But at the same time, I don't wanna

1510
00:52:08,372 --> 00:52:10,370
stretch the scriptures to make them say something

1511
00:52:10,370 --> 00:52:11,728
they don't to prove so some kind of

1512
00:52:11,728 --> 00:52:12,128
you have.

1513
00:52:13,646 --> 00:52:14,525
Let's be careful.

1514
00:52:15,259 --> 00:52:17,411
In that ana antichrist, when when Jesus comes

1515
00:52:17,411 --> 00:52:18,687
back, though it's gonna be Gnarly.

1516
00:52:19,883 --> 00:52:21,956
So it's there's 2 companies of Christ. This

1517
00:52:21,956 --> 00:52:23,391
first company came in humiliation.

1518
00:52:24,125 --> 00:52:25,644
His second company comes at ex.

1519
00:52:26,125 --> 00:52:26,284
Amen.

1520
00:52:26,925 --> 00:52:27,644
His first coming,

1521
00:52:28,284 --> 00:52:30,445
he came on a donkey. The second time

1522
00:52:30,445 --> 00:52:32,697
he comes on a white horse. Amen. The

1523
00:52:32,697 --> 00:52:33,972
first time he came he came to be

1524
00:52:33,972 --> 00:52:36,362
killed. The next time he comes to kill

1525
00:52:36,362 --> 00:52:38,832
his enemies. First time he became, he came

1526
00:52:38,832 --> 00:52:41,155
to serve Next time he comes to be

1527
00:52:41,155 --> 00:52:42,906
served. First time he came he became as

1528
00:52:42,906 --> 00:52:44,895
a suffering servant in Amen. Next time he

1529
00:52:44,895 --> 00:52:47,059
comes comes as the conquering king. Amen. First

1530
00:52:47,059 --> 00:52:48,256
time he became he came as a lamb

1531
00:52:48,256 --> 00:52:50,092
of God. Next time he comes... He's coming

1532
00:52:50,092 --> 00:52:51,609
the lion as a lion of the tribe

1533
00:52:51,609 --> 00:52:54,642
of Judah, Amen. So let's get excited about

1534
00:52:54,642 --> 00:52:55,701
his coming

1535
00:52:56,333 --> 00:52:57,371
Amen? Yes lord.

1536
00:52:58,409 --> 00:53:00,085
And I love that the apostle Paul. You

1537
00:53:00,085 --> 00:53:02,081
could go to second Timothy chapter 4, if

1538
00:53:02,081 --> 00:53:04,795
you will, because he uses this word appearing

1539
00:53:04,795 --> 00:53:07,443
again. In second Timothy chapter 4, and this

1540
00:53:07,443 --> 00:53:09,676
is about him being ready. And this is

1541
00:53:09,676 --> 00:53:12,308
second Timothy. This he writes not long before

1542
00:53:12,308 --> 00:53:14,802
he is beheaded by nero

1543
00:53:15,193 --> 00:53:17,284
According Eu cbs, the early, early

1544
00:53:17,659 --> 00:53:18,851
church historian,

1545
00:53:20,124 --> 00:53:22,907
he lost his head to neuro about... I

1546
00:53:22,907 --> 00:53:24,497
think I think he has that 60, you

1547
00:53:24,497 --> 00:53:25,867
know, late sixties,

1548
00:53:27,860 --> 00:53:30,572
and look at negativity, Paul says this, for

1549
00:53:30,572 --> 00:53:33,044
am already being poured out as a drink

1550
00:53:33,044 --> 00:53:33,523
offering.

1551
00:53:34,653 --> 00:53:36,398
And the time of my departure has come.

1552
00:53:36,715 --> 00:53:38,460
The old testament there were drink offerings where,

1553
00:53:39,095 --> 00:53:40,919
Jacob, when his name has changed Israel, he

1554
00:53:40,919 --> 00:53:42,347
pours out a drink offering to the lord.

1555
00:53:42,838 --> 00:53:44,989
Their drink offerings prescribed in the law.

1556
00:53:45,546 --> 00:53:47,776
Jesus is the ultimate drink offering for our

1557
00:53:47,776 --> 00:53:50,403
salvation. Right? He said this cup is a

1558
00:53:50,403 --> 00:53:52,087
cup which I poured out. For you is

1559
00:53:52,087 --> 00:53:53,989
the covenant in my blood. He poured out

1560
00:53:53,989 --> 00:53:56,286
his life for us. Paul's point out his

1561
00:53:56,286 --> 00:53:58,267
life as a thank offering to Jesus.

1562
00:53:59,157 --> 00:54:01,068
Okay. And he says, for I'm already being

1563
00:54:01,068 --> 00:54:03,140
poured out as a drink offering, and the

1564
00:54:03,140 --> 00:54:05,688
time of my departure come. I have fought

1565
00:54:05,688 --> 00:54:08,013
the good fight. Check that out, man. That's

1566
00:54:08,013 --> 00:54:09,205
at the end of his life, man.

1567
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,907
He Timothy he's telling being told by him

1568
00:54:11,907 --> 00:54:13,497
and that first Timothy fight the good fight,

1569
00:54:13,656 --> 00:54:15,325
but here he says, I have fought the

1570
00:54:15,325 --> 00:54:17,486
good fight. Paul tells Timothy now. I have

1571
00:54:17,486 --> 00:54:18,360
finished the course.

1572
00:54:19,155 --> 00:54:21,381
Praise the Lord, man. I have kept the

1573
00:54:21,381 --> 00:54:23,846
faith. Praise the lord. In the future, there

1574
00:54:23,846 --> 00:54:25,688
is laid up for me, the crown of

1575
00:54:25,688 --> 00:54:26,188
righteousness,

1576
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,338
which the Lord, the Righteous judge will award

1577
00:54:29,338 --> 00:54:31,402
to me on that day, and not only

1578
00:54:31,402 --> 00:54:33,068
to me, but also to all who have

1579
00:54:33,068 --> 00:54:33,227
what.

1580
00:54:33,877 --> 00:54:35,172
Have loved his

1581
00:54:35,547 --> 00:54:35,865
appearing.

1582
00:54:36,501 --> 00:54:36,660
Amen.

1583
00:54:38,170 --> 00:54:39,521
How do he love appearing man? If you

1584
00:54:39,521 --> 00:54:41,684
love me, keep my commandments, obey him, fall

1585
00:54:41,684 --> 00:54:42,880
in love with him, look at what he's

1586
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,996
done for you and who he is,

1587
00:54:44,634 --> 00:54:46,229
to know him is truly to love him

1588
00:54:46,229 --> 00:54:47,505
when you know who God is. Amen.

1589
00:54:48,542 --> 00:54:50,057
So it's just amazing when you think of

1590
00:54:50,057 --> 00:54:50,717
how wonderful

1591
00:54:51,108 --> 00:54:53,041
our lord is. Now look at chapter

1592
00:54:54,213 --> 00:54:55,168
6 verse 15,

1593
00:54:55,805 --> 00:54:58,056
which he will bring about at the proper

1594
00:54:58,113 --> 00:54:58,613
time

1595
00:54:59,164 --> 00:55:01,822
He's gonna bring his coming, it's gonna be

1596
00:55:01,881 --> 00:55:04,119
perfect timing at the proper time. No 1

1597
00:55:04,119 --> 00:55:05,717
knows a day in the hour. It's in

1598
00:55:05,717 --> 00:55:06,596
god's timing amen.

1599
00:55:07,648 --> 00:55:09,556
And, God, the first coming, the first appearing

1600
00:55:09,556 --> 00:55:10,670
was at the proper time.

1601
00:55:11,306 --> 00:55:12,340
I mean, it's perfect timing.

1602
00:55:13,294 --> 00:55:16,077
Daniel chapter 9, certain Jews, Simeon and Anna,

1603
00:55:16,236 --> 00:55:18,800
they were anticipating it. Others were anticipated, but

1604
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,475
they wanted to... Then the kick the booty

1605
00:55:20,475 --> 00:55:20,954
of the Romans.

1606
00:55:21,671 --> 00:55:23,266
They didn't want him as a suffering servant

1607
00:55:23,266 --> 00:55:25,021
yet. But he's like, no. You need to

1608
00:55:25,021 --> 00:55:26,457
have your sins dealt with. That's the first

1609
00:55:26,457 --> 00:55:27,015
coming. Amen.

1610
00:55:27,747 --> 00:55:28,963
It was perfect timing

1611
00:55:29,338 --> 00:55:31,882
in many respects. The Greeks had been rolling

1612
00:55:31,882 --> 00:55:32,700
before the Romans

1613
00:55:33,155 --> 00:55:35,222
and everybody... So many people were speaking Greek,

1614
00:55:36,352 --> 00:55:38,186
There was not a language that was so

1615
00:55:38,186 --> 00:55:40,577
universal until the Greeks ruled now the Greeks

1616
00:55:40,577 --> 00:55:42,331
ruled setting up to where the Gospel was

1617
00:55:42,331 --> 00:55:44,737
spread in Greek around the world. Oh, but

1618
00:55:44,737 --> 00:55:46,568
it was so hard to travel through the

1619
00:55:46,568 --> 00:55:47,524
world because it weren't a lot of roads.

1620
00:55:47,683 --> 00:55:49,116
Well, that's where the Roman government came in,

1621
00:55:49,833 --> 00:55:51,425
took over from the Greeks, and they built

1622
00:55:51,425 --> 00:55:52,062
all these roads.

1623
00:55:53,034 --> 00:55:55,032
And it's real dangerous travel but guess what?

1624
00:55:55,431 --> 00:55:56,869
The Romans are rolling so you could actually

1625
00:55:56,869 --> 00:55:58,787
travel from place to place. And in I

1626
00:55:58,787 --> 00:56:00,385
in fact, even Roman soldiers who he became

1627
00:56:00,465 --> 00:56:01,991
Christians, They're are the first ones that show

1628
00:56:01,991 --> 00:56:02,864
the gospel in Britain,

1629
00:56:03,499 --> 00:56:05,245
Roman soldiers that Christians that were stationed there.

1630
00:56:06,515 --> 00:56:08,341
Perfect timing and the fullness of time, Paul

1631
00:56:08,341 --> 00:56:09,452
says in Galatians 4 4.

1632
00:56:10,102 --> 00:56:12,087
Jesus was born the first time. And the

1633
00:56:12,087 --> 00:56:14,150
second time it's be perfect timing all over

1634
00:56:14,150 --> 00:56:15,897
again. Yes. It's gonna be heavy to see

1635
00:56:15,897 --> 00:56:16,849
it. Are you still with me?

1636
00:56:18,929 --> 00:56:19,429
So

1637
00:56:19,969 --> 00:56:21,889
let's be excited Let's get excited about the

1638
00:56:21,889 --> 00:56:23,510
lord's return. Let's not try to pick

1639
00:56:24,050 --> 00:56:25,809
pick exact dates that's very dangerous.

1640
00:56:26,303 --> 00:56:27,414
I met a guy and I talked to

1641
00:56:27,414 --> 00:56:27,890
him for a while,

1642
00:56:28,763 --> 00:56:30,509
and saw him speak. I didn't Cole deal.

1643
00:56:30,985 --> 00:56:33,445
And he wrote a book Christ returns by

1644
00:56:33,445 --> 00:56:34,239
19 88.

1645
00:56:35,047 --> 00:56:36,001
101

1646
00:56:36,001 --> 00:56:36,637
reasons why.

1647
00:56:37,988 --> 00:56:40,610
I disagree with him. I got into it

1648
00:56:40,610 --> 00:56:41,722
with him in a loving way.

1649
00:56:42,453 --> 00:56:43,885
In fact, he had a pre trip rapture

1650
00:56:43,885 --> 00:56:44,998
going to, so I just hit him with

1651
00:56:44,998 --> 00:56:47,146
the post trip stuff, you know? Well, what?

1652
00:56:47,703 --> 00:56:49,707
Last trumpet it dah the and we just

1653
00:56:49,707 --> 00:56:51,378
went back and forth. But I knew he

1654
00:56:51,378 --> 00:56:52,970
was wrong because I knew jesus was wasn't

1655
00:56:52,970 --> 00:56:54,641
coming 19 8 because it was a couple

1656
00:56:54,641 --> 00:56:55,994
years before that, when I was watching speak,

1657
00:56:56,233 --> 00:56:57,348
I'm like, he was talking about the second

1658
00:56:57,348 --> 00:56:58,701
coming in at 88 and or that, you

1659
00:56:58,701 --> 00:57:00,473
know, and I'm like, these things aren't even

1660
00:57:00,473 --> 00:57:00,873
lining up.

1661
00:57:02,791 --> 00:57:03,989
Stay away from the weird stuff on the

1662
00:57:03,989 --> 00:57:06,626
internet guys? Okay. Be very, very careful. You

1663
00:57:06,626 --> 00:57:07,825
don't want egg on your face. Amen?

1664
00:57:09,355 --> 00:57:09,593
Now,

1665
00:57:10,786 --> 00:57:12,059
let's go to the rest of the verse

1666
00:57:12,059 --> 00:57:15,003
or the... Sorry, verse 15 again, the last

1667
00:57:15,003 --> 00:57:17,484
part of that. He is the blessed and

1668
00:57:17,484 --> 00:57:18,200
only sovereign,

1669
00:57:18,677 --> 00:57:19,234
check this out.

1670
00:57:20,030 --> 00:57:22,098
Now, Paul just breaks forth in praise.

1671
00:57:22,909 --> 00:57:25,306
He who is the blessed and only sovereign

1672
00:57:25,306 --> 00:57:27,065
the king of kings and Lord of Lords.

1673
00:57:27,464 --> 00:57:28,583
He's the only sovereign, man.

1674
00:57:29,701 --> 00:57:30,820
Right? He's sovereign.

1675
00:57:31,789 --> 00:57:33,477
He works all things together for the good

1676
00:57:33,849 --> 00:57:35,354
for those who 11 are the call the

1677
00:57:35,354 --> 00:57:37,573
purpose. He's a maker of all things. Amen.

1678
00:57:38,697 --> 00:57:39,885
No 1 can fort him, amen.

1679
00:57:40,994 --> 00:57:41,470
He he,

1680
00:57:42,896 --> 00:57:44,243
in him, we live and move and have

1681
00:57:44,243 --> 00:57:44,639
our being.

1682
00:57:45,843 --> 00:57:48,070
Right? He's made all things visible and invisible

1683
00:57:48,309 --> 00:57:48,547
Amen.

1684
00:57:49,422 --> 00:57:52,842
He's on the throne. Amen, Jeremiah 32 17.

1685
00:57:53,002 --> 00:57:55,663
Oh, sovereign Lord. You have made the heavens

1686
00:57:55,798 --> 00:57:57,864
and the earth by your great power and

1687
00:57:57,864 --> 00:58:00,827
outs stretch arm, nothing is too hard for

1688
00:58:00,882 --> 00:58:01,677
you. Amen.

1689
00:58:02,471 --> 00:58:04,869
Revelation 04:11. You are worthy our Lord and

1690
00:58:04,948 --> 00:58:07,115
God to receive glory and honor and power

1691
00:58:07,170 --> 00:58:09,076
for you created all things and by your

1692
00:58:09,076 --> 00:58:11,774
will, they were created and they have their

1693
00:58:11,774 --> 00:58:12,568
being Amen.

1694
00:58:13,376 --> 00:58:15,598
I love that, man. In Daniel chapter 2,

1695
00:58:15,916 --> 00:58:17,661
Daniel talks about how he sets up kings,

1696
00:58:17,899 --> 00:58:20,358
and he opposes kings. Abi, if she said

1697
00:58:20,358 --> 00:58:22,439
look at this Babylon that I've made. He

1698
00:58:22,439 --> 00:58:25,063
gets humbled for 7 years. Right? And eats

1699
00:58:25,063 --> 00:58:26,892
to dew and grass and so forth. And

1700
00:58:26,892 --> 00:58:28,085
then he comes out of it. And he

1701
00:58:28,085 --> 00:58:29,698
says when I regain my sanity

1702
00:58:30,009 --> 00:58:30,669
He says

1703
00:58:31,286 --> 00:58:33,282
that I raised my eyes toward heaven, and

1704
00:58:33,282 --> 00:58:35,198
my reason returned to me, and I blessed

1705
00:58:35,198 --> 00:58:37,992
the most high and praised and honored him

1706
00:58:37,992 --> 00:58:40,315
who lives forever. For his dominion an ever

1707
00:58:40,315 --> 00:58:43,972
last dominion. And his kingdom endure from generation

1708
00:58:43,972 --> 00:58:45,880
to generation. All of the inhabitants in the

1709
00:58:45,959 --> 00:58:47,731
Earth are counted as nothing

1710
00:58:48,755 --> 00:58:51,380
But he does according to his will in

1711
00:58:51,380 --> 00:58:53,526
the host of heaven and among the inhabitants

1712
00:58:53,526 --> 00:58:55,434
of the Earth, and no 1 can ward

1713
00:58:55,434 --> 00:58:57,875
off his hand or say to him, what

1714
00:58:58,074 --> 00:58:59,033
have you done.

1715
00:58:59,753 --> 00:59:01,031
That's Debbie Kin our, man.

1716
00:59:02,629 --> 00:59:05,506
Jesus Christ. Revelation 17. Verse 14 is coming

1717
00:59:05,506 --> 00:59:07,116
back as king of kings and Lord of

1718
00:59:07,195 --> 00:59:09,021
Lords. Revelation 19 he comes back on his

1719
00:59:09,021 --> 00:59:10,927
white horse versus 15 to 16 is a

1720
00:59:10,927 --> 00:59:12,435
name written on his thigh, King of kings

1721
00:59:12,435 --> 00:59:13,864
and Lord of Lords. And that brings us

1722
00:59:13,864 --> 00:59:15,293
to that last verse. Okay?

1723
00:59:15,944 --> 00:59:16,584
And we see that.

1724
00:59:17,463 --> 00:59:20,020
He's mentioned here in this last verse,

1725
00:59:21,458 --> 00:59:23,056
and I I really want you to focus

1726
00:59:23,056 --> 00:59:24,985
on it for a moment because We're getting

1727
00:59:24,985 --> 00:59:26,674
here to the end of our deal, but

1728
00:59:26,887 --> 00:59:29,900
verse 15 b, he who is blessed. Right?

1729
00:59:30,376 --> 00:59:31,644
And the only sovereign the what,

1730
00:59:32,853 --> 00:59:35,247
king of kings and Lord of Lords. He's

1731
00:59:35,247 --> 00:59:37,163
called that varies. He's called that revelation 17

1732
00:59:37,163 --> 00:59:38,599
is he's that called that in revelation,

1733
00:59:39,717 --> 00:59:41,728
19 as well. He's not just a king,

1734
00:59:41,888 --> 00:59:44,205
man. He's he's king of kings, and he

1735
00:59:44,205 --> 00:59:44,945
is Lord

1736
00:59:45,324 --> 00:59:48,940
of Lords, and that's important to understand

1737
00:59:51,886 --> 00:59:52,205
in fact,

1738
00:59:54,438 --> 00:59:55,874
when you're looking at this, and I'm gonna

1739
00:59:55,954 --> 00:59:57,708
I'm gonna try to end right right about

1740
00:59:57,708 --> 00:59:59,797
here in a couple minutes here. Because when

1741
00:59:59,797 --> 01:00:01,015
you look at verse

1742
01:00:02,110 --> 01:00:02,589
16,

1743
01:00:03,227 --> 01:00:05,859
goes on to say that he what, who

1744
01:00:05,859 --> 01:00:07,875
alone possesses what. Mortality

1745
01:00:08,331 --> 01:00:08,651
mortality.

1746
01:00:09,223 --> 01:00:11,368
God alone possesses mortality. But you say, well,

1747
01:00:11,527 --> 01:00:13,354
don't aren't we... Don't we have eternal life?

1748
01:00:14,068 --> 01:00:16,157
The the the meaning there is he alone

1749
01:00:16,293 --> 01:00:16,793
possesses

1750
01:00:17,326 --> 01:00:18,278
immortality inherently.

1751
01:00:19,328 --> 01:00:21,903
He is self existing the great I am

1752
01:00:22,042 --> 01:00:24,277
from ever last to ever last, he never

1753
01:00:24,277 --> 01:00:26,192
came into existence. The only way we can

1754
01:00:26,192 --> 01:00:26,991
have eternal life.

1755
01:00:27,724 --> 01:00:28,684
Is through him. Amen,

1756
01:00:29,484 --> 01:00:32,844
as branches attached to the vine through having

1757
01:00:32,844 --> 01:00:35,724
eternal life through him, who alone possesses mortality

1758
01:00:35,724 --> 01:00:36,364
and dwell what?

1759
01:00:37,657 --> 01:00:38,396
An una

1760
01:00:39,411 --> 01:00:39,731
light,

1761
01:00:41,167 --> 01:00:43,661
whom no man has seen or can see

1762
01:00:44,612 --> 01:00:46,526
You guys. No 1 has seen.

1763
01:00:47,164 --> 01:00:48,201
No 1 can't see him.

1764
01:00:49,318 --> 01:00:50,833
Well, moses talked to him and says he

1765
01:00:50,833 --> 01:00:52,429
talked to him face to face, not all

1766
01:00:52,429 --> 01:00:52,827
glory didn't.

1767
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:55,712
I wanna see you how I see your

1768
01:00:55,712 --> 01:00:57,943
glory. Okay, Moses. I'll put you behind the

1769
01:00:57,943 --> 01:00:58,660
clef of a rock,

1770
01:00:59,297 --> 01:01:00,891
and I'll let you see my after glow.

1771
01:01:01,543 --> 01:01:03,213
And Moses is tripping out because you know

1772
01:01:03,213 --> 01:01:03,770
what he talks about?

1773
01:01:04,565 --> 01:01:04,963
Glory.

1774
01:01:05,599 --> 01:01:08,382
Beauty, the the beauty of the lord. They

1775
01:01:08,382 --> 01:01:10,609
talks about the justice of god upon the

1776
01:01:10,609 --> 01:01:10,847
wicked.

1777
01:01:11,579 --> 01:01:13,098
And that was just from seen as after

1778
01:01:13,098 --> 01:01:13,598
glow

1779
01:01:14,296 --> 01:01:16,454
because guess what? When Jesus Christ comes back.

1780
01:01:16,694 --> 01:01:18,052
And he says that's a little of his

1781
01:01:18,052 --> 01:01:19,571
glory out to the non believers.

1782
01:01:21,024 --> 01:01:22,779
Like lightning, shining from the east the west.

1783
01:01:25,093 --> 01:01:26,929
It says he destroys Louisiana chris with the

1784
01:01:26,929 --> 01:01:28,125
spirit of his mouth and what?

1785
01:01:28,777 --> 01:01:30,523
The brightness of his coming.

1786
01:01:34,334 --> 01:01:35,866
The catch, the brightness

1787
01:01:37,614 --> 01:01:38,114
The

1788
01:01:40,175 --> 01:01:41,394
of his par

1789
01:01:42,735 --> 01:01:44,655
is what destroys the an antichrist is appearing.

1790
01:01:45,629 --> 01:01:48,206
Think about that. That's why in Z 14

1791
01:01:48,585 --> 01:01:49,085
people's

1792
01:01:49,463 --> 01:01:51,621
standing there to make war with him, Their

1793
01:01:51,621 --> 01:01:53,954
eyes dissolve. From their sockets and their tongue

1794
01:01:53,954 --> 01:01:54,994
is dissolved from their mouths.

1795
01:01:56,514 --> 01:01:57,394
What a powerful God?

1796
01:01:58,914 --> 01:01:59,875
But we won't see him.

1797
01:02:01,806 --> 01:02:04,516
Well, there's a promise though. No 1 has

1798
01:02:04,516 --> 01:02:05,951
seen him or can't see him right now.

1799
01:02:06,748 --> 01:02:06,907
Right?

1800
01:02:07,864 --> 01:02:11,093
Psalm 18 11 He made darkness his secret.

1801
01:02:11,711 --> 01:02:14,029
He hid himself in the clouds and thick

1802
01:02:14,029 --> 01:02:16,666
darkness. In executing his judgments. He did not

1803
01:02:16,666 --> 01:02:18,678
allow himself to be seen. But guess what?

1804
01:02:18,997 --> 01:02:20,833
We read in Matthew 5 8. The Lord

1805
01:02:20,913 --> 01:02:22,909
Jesus Christ said, the sermon mount blessed are

1806
01:02:22,909 --> 01:02:24,425
the pure in heart for they show what?

1807
01:02:25,303 --> 01:02:26,341
They shall see God.

1808
01:02:27,634 --> 01:02:29,871
Revelation 22 4 the last chapter of the

1809
01:02:29,951 --> 01:02:30,270
Bible.

1810
01:02:30,909 --> 01:02:32,348
They will see his face,

1811
01:02:32,827 --> 01:02:34,265
and his name will be on their forehead.

1812
01:02:35,159 --> 01:02:37,796
How incredible is that? And when John sees

1813
01:02:37,796 --> 01:02:39,394
him on the throne in the vision in

1814
01:02:39,714 --> 01:02:40,193
Revelation 4,

1815
01:02:40,913 --> 01:02:42,990
he talks about these beautiful colors as rainbow

1816
01:02:42,990 --> 01:02:43,550
on the throne.

1817
01:02:44,125 --> 01:02:45,964
And he's just seen a vision. You not

1818
01:02:45,964 --> 01:02:48,204
seen laws glory yet, And he's just blown

1819
01:02:48,204 --> 01:02:50,204
away. Right? And they... In the living creatures

1820
01:02:50,204 --> 01:02:52,284
on fall down because he's so beautiful. We're

1821
01:02:52,284 --> 01:02:53,005
going to see him.

1822
01:02:53,659 --> 01:02:54,932
And the last part of that verse,

1823
01:02:56,364 --> 01:02:57,717
the last part of the last verse were

1824
01:02:57,717 --> 01:02:59,149
studying night to him be wet.

1825
01:02:59,944 --> 01:03:00,444
Honor

1826
01:03:00,994 --> 01:03:02,033
an eternal dominion.

1827
01:03:02,752 --> 01:03:03,232
All amen.

1828
01:03:04,431 --> 01:03:05,469
Now check this out guys.

1829
01:03:07,068 --> 01:03:09,065
This this blew me away. First time I've

1830
01:03:09,065 --> 01:03:09,385
seen this.

1831
01:03:10,596 --> 01:03:12,188
First time I saw this, and it really

1832
01:03:12,188 --> 01:03:14,017
minister to me, and I give this to

1833
01:03:14,017 --> 01:03:15,370
you to really think about.

1834
01:03:17,612 --> 01:03:19,224
You see this do.

1835
01:03:20,074 --> 01:03:22,298
Okay? Do means to speak praise.

1836
01:03:22,855 --> 01:03:23,672
You see this

1837
01:03:24,443 --> 01:03:26,691
right in the middle of him talking about

1838
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:27,800
the rich.

1839
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:30,599
You know what I see over and over

1840
01:03:30,599 --> 01:03:31,340
overhead commentaries,

1841
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,079
and commentary commentaries are great. Otherwise I don't.

1842
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,200
And there's a lot of good commentaries, a

1843
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:37,572
lot of good things gotta check everything thing.

1844
01:03:37,731 --> 01:03:38,847
But over and over what I'm saying, We

1845
01:03:38,847 --> 01:03:40,601
don't know why Paul breaks forth and praise

1846
01:03:40,601 --> 01:03:43,151
right here, you know? Because he just breaks

1847
01:03:43,151 --> 01:03:45,238
forth and praise because he's excited, but We

1848
01:03:45,238 --> 01:03:46,432
don't know if there's any rhyme or reason.

1849
01:03:46,591 --> 01:03:47,864
Some will try to say there's rhyme or

1850
01:03:47,864 --> 01:03:48,182
reason,

1851
01:03:48,978 --> 01:03:50,092
but it hit me like a ton of

1852
01:03:50,092 --> 01:03:50,649
bricks today.

1853
01:03:51,604 --> 01:03:53,116
And I thought this is so good by

1854
01:03:53,116 --> 01:03:53,911
way of application.

1855
01:03:55,042 --> 01:03:57,673
Because he's praising him, but then he gets

1856
01:03:57,673 --> 01:03:59,906
into what verse 17 and instruct those who

1857
01:03:59,906 --> 01:04:02,878
are wet. Rich. The point is is

1858
01:04:03,668 --> 01:04:05,496
1 comment I read no kidding. I read

1859
01:04:05,496 --> 01:04:06,053
this last week.

1860
01:04:07,166 --> 01:04:07,666
Paul

1861
01:04:08,518 --> 01:04:09,972
wants to end here with this,

1862
01:04:10,665 --> 01:04:12,017
but then he decides all I need to

1863
01:04:12,017 --> 01:04:13,051
say something else to the rich.

1864
01:04:14,025 --> 01:04:16,025
No. That's not what's going on. Paul was

1865
01:04:16,025 --> 01:04:17,385
saying, I'm gonna end here. Oh, I better

1866
01:04:17,385 --> 01:04:19,224
say something to the rich. He's been inspired

1867
01:04:19,224 --> 01:04:20,025
by the holy spirit.

1868
01:04:20,824 --> 01:04:21,944
But, you know what's happening here.

1869
01:04:24,030 --> 01:04:26,258
He's talking about the great the period of

1870
01:04:26,258 --> 01:04:26,974
our Lord God.

1871
01:04:28,167 --> 01:04:29,202
And it's gonna be glorious.

1872
01:04:29,774 --> 01:04:31,606
And that's the end goal. And he begins

1873
01:04:31,606 --> 01:04:33,756
to praise him because he's coming. And you

1874
01:04:33,756 --> 01:04:35,110
know how I believe that's why I know

1875
01:04:35,429 --> 01:04:37,442
I believe really strongly that that that's true

1876
01:04:37,659 --> 01:04:38,478
is because

1877
01:04:39,029 --> 01:04:40,627
If you go to first Timothy 1, go

1878
01:04:40,627 --> 01:04:41,506
to first Timothy 1,

1879
01:04:42,385 --> 01:04:43,583
check this out. Okay.

1880
01:04:48,945 --> 01:04:50,699
He's talking about Christ's first coming.

1881
01:04:51,336 --> 01:04:54,206
His first appearing. He's talking about how he

1882
01:04:54,206 --> 01:04:56,048
was the chief of sinner and all that

1883
01:04:56,048 --> 01:04:58,746
and how Christ would demonstrate his perfect patience

1884
01:04:58,746 --> 01:05:00,572
as an example to those who would believe

1885
01:05:00,572 --> 01:05:01,604
in him to eternal life.

1886
01:05:02,492 --> 01:05:04,163
What Jesus did for him in his first

1887
01:05:04,163 --> 01:05:06,231
coming. Then guess what he does. He breaks

1888
01:05:06,231 --> 01:05:06,731
into.

1889
01:05:07,742 --> 01:05:10,537
Now to the king eternal immoral invisible, the

1890
01:05:10,537 --> 01:05:13,154
only God be honored and glory forever and

1891
01:05:13,154 --> 01:05:13,868
ever amen.

1892
01:05:14,661 --> 01:05:17,094
Betty goes on. Do you think Timothy is

1893
01:05:17,293 --> 01:05:18,482
Paul was gonna end there. He said, oh,

1894
01:05:18,561 --> 01:05:19,830
wait. I got get more to say, no.

1895
01:05:20,227 --> 01:05:22,923
He's breaking forth and praise because Jesus came

1896
01:05:22,923 --> 01:05:24,430
to save him the first time Amen.

1897
01:05:25,239 --> 01:05:27,480
He's breaking forth the praise, the second time

1898
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:29,239
because there's gonna be a second period amen.

1899
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:31,079
And this is why hit me like a

1900
01:05:31,079 --> 01:05:31,480
ton of bricks.

1901
01:05:33,411 --> 01:05:35,245
And by wave of application, I encouraging this.

1902
01:05:35,883 --> 01:05:36,123
A,

1903
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,255
praise him for the first time he came

1904
01:05:39,473 --> 01:05:41,626
to save you. Why do you think Christmas

01:05:41,626 --> 01:05:44,130

1906
01:05:44,505 --> 01:05:47,072
