Speaker: Rick Hall, Date: 30/05/2021, Title: Turn To God's Messiah, Bible Passage: Acts 2:1-41, Series: Acts

God's Commandments and God's Messiah (Matthew 22:34-46)

The "Hebrew of Hebrews" was headed for hell. There were few as accomplished in the Jewish religion as Saul of Tarsus. And yet he was rejecting God's Messiah and murdering believers, right up to the moment he was grabbed by grace. If anyone knew that the Law doesn't save, it was our old friend, Paul. Well, what about you? What rules are you keeping, to buy your way into heaven? Here's Part 3 of our Galatians study. Pastor Jim calls the message The First False Gospel.

As Jesus makes His entrance into Jerusalem, He paints an unmistakable picture that He is God's Messiah who has come to save His people.

Dedication of the Temple 2 Chronicles 6v1-21 Tonight as you may have gathered, we go back to looking at the prayers of Solomon in 2 Chronicles 6. Not in an exhaustive way, but to discover together what we can learn about God and His relationship with those who are His and seeing how this is relevant to us some 3 millennia later. During the intervening period, I wonder if Solomon had wrestled in his mind over what he prayed… Let us wrestle together now, in these prayers of his, albeit briefly. This is a key passage, a link if you like, between the Covenant that God made with Solomon’s father, David, including the building of a House for God, the Temple, and the glory of the Lord filling the Temple in 2 Chronicles 7. This reflects I think, the necessity and vitality of prayer in the unfolding of God’s will for humanity. The story is also regaled in 1 Kings 8 but with some nuance as you may expect.

A covenant is an important way to describe the progress of the relationship between God and humanity through the Biblical story. A covenant at the time of the Old Testament was a solemn commitment between the two covenanting parties to fulfil all the promises and obligations of the covenant. Covenants were common in all kinds of life, and not just between God and humanity. The idea comes from the sort of agreement commonly entered into in the ancient area round Israel between a high king, and a sub king or clan chief. It is easy to see how a covenant is a good way to describe the relationship between God and humanity. God, who promises to protect and help the human with faithfulness, and the human who promises to worship and honour God with faith. The Covenants between God and humanity have several things about them regarding the relationship. In these Covenants between God and humanity, God always took the initiative – sometimes by complete surprise. God has made certain commitments and has given His solemn promise to fulfil His end of the bargain. God waits for a response from humanity. God does not coerce or force but waits for humanity to take the responsibility of replying and acquiescing to God's covenantal promises through obedience, faithfulness and worship. There are Covenants made in the Garden of Eden, Covenants made in history with Adam, Noah and Abraham, but we will fast forward to the Covenant between God and Moses before going onto His covenant with Solomon’s father, David. The Mosaic Covenant Why look at the Covenant made between God and Moses? We do so because there is a connection between that Covenant and the prayer of Solomon we are looking at tonight. Indeed the very Ark of the Covenant contained a gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and two tablets of stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed. Charles Spurgeon commented “One is struck, with the fact that the language of Solomon is far from new, and is full of quotations from the Pentateuch (where the Mosaic Covenant is fully explained), some of which are almost word for word.” This covenant is between God and humanity, in this case with the particular nation of Israel. It commences with the stipulation “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5). This covenant was to Israel in order that those who believed God’s promise, could know how to live righteously. Israel’s task was to bring the knowledge of God to all the world so that blessing might come to all humanity. In this, however, they were to fail and only when Jesus came as the perfectly obedient Israelite was it to become possible that all the world should be blessed. This Mosaic covenant covered the three areas of life: The commandments were given so they would know how to relate socially to God correctly (Exodus 20:1-17) The judgments were given in order that they could relate socially to each other properly (Exodus 21:1 - 24:11 and in Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) The decrees dictate their religious life so that God could be approached by humanity on His terms (Exodus 24:12 - 31:18, and in Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). The Mosaic Covenant was never meant as a means by which humanity could achieve salvation with God. It was given so that they could realize the helplessness of their own efforts, and their need of God's help as well as expressing their devotion to the Lord. Yet they still failed to bring blessing to other peoples. Galatians 3:22-24 explains that the Law was only a protective fence until through the promised Messiah, when humanity could be made right with God through faith. That Messiah we know to be the man Jesus Christ. More later though. The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:4-17) Now we fast forward to the Covenant which was in place as Solomon dedicates the Temple to God and is mentioned here. This covenant that God made with David, Solomon’s father. Three great things were promised: A land forever (2 Samuel 7:10); A dynasty without end (2 Samuel 7:11, 16) A perpetual kingdom (2 Samuel 7:13, 16) Through the Covenants we see a God who is willing to interact with His creation and bless it. When first century Christians such as the Apostles Paul, Peter and John checked and thought over all the events surrounding the life of Jesus Christ, they searched their Scriptures (our Old Testament). It was as God the Holy Spirit illuminated their minds, that they wrote down and passed on the whole range of Old Testament promises which were fulfilled in God's Messiah and the world's hope - Jesus Christ and Him alone. That is why it is important for us as twenty-first century Christian Disciples to read our Old Testament as well as the New Testament. For by reading the Old Testament, new light is shed upon our own understanding of the New Testament. One of the fundamentals of understanding the Bible, is to let the Bible interpret the Bible. There is one more Covenant of God which we are to look at tonight, but we will see that shortly! We press on with these prayers of Solomon. There are 3 prayers here. v1-2 are opening words of praise to God v4-11 are the 2nd prayer v16-41 are the 3rd prayer. We won’t go into any great detail tonight, you will no doubt be glad to know. We will get to about verse 21 I think. But with a very general overview, let’s look together and see what we can learn together from the wise man Solomon about God and about prayer. Charles Spurgeon said that “It is worthy of remark concerning this prayer that it is as full and comprehensive as if it were meant to be the summary of all future prayers offered in the temple.” Right mouse click or tap here to save this Podcast as a MP3. Part 1 1. Verses 1 & 2 - Solomon acknowledges God’s presence in the cloud Here we see that Solomon acknowledges God’s presence in the cloud. The cloud of God’s glory has a long association with His presence. Solomon knew that the presence of the cloud meant that God dwelt in the temple in a special way. It was to be a special place to come and meet with God. It was symbolic of God living with His people. 2.Verses 3 to 9 – Solomon blessed the people and blesses God. Here we see that Solomon blessed the people and blesses God. Solomon knew, affirmed and recognized that the completion of the Temple was the fulfilment of the plan of God and not of Solomon himself or indeed of his father David. God’s plan. David and Solomon were merely the human instruments, they were God’s arms and legs, but the work was affirmed to be God’s alone! God’s actions or work have confirmed His words, His promises! God’s hands were at work building the Temple as He guided and strengthened the human workers who contributed themselves to its construction. Solomon recounts how their ancestors had escaped from Egypt in the Exodus 500 years hence. This shows its importance to the people of Israel at the time! Their minds were singing “If the Lord can bring us out of Egypt and rescue us, He will help us establish ourselves as a nation and build this Temple in order to worship Him. “ God is faithful to His promises. Down through the ages God has been faithful and keeping His part of the Covenant that He made with people. Later when we come to conclude we will see together briefly the promises of God for the Christian, including us today almost 3 millennia later. Solomon now issues a statement concerning his father, David! Why David was not to build it. Though David, the mighty King had done extensive preparations for it, he didn’t actually complete it. The completion was left for his son, Solomon. Why? Because of God’s ideal of rest for his King and for his people. David had fought many wars and battles. It was part of his rest in God not to build the Temple. Solomon was spared the emotional turmoil of war, so could dedicate his energies to building the Temple – the House of God. 3. Verses 10-11 - Solomon presents the finished temple unto God. And with verses 10 to 11, we see that Solomon presents the finished Temple to God. Solomon recognized that being the successor of his father David to the throne of Israel was significant. He then places the Ark of the Covenant, in its resting place in the Temple. The Ark of the Covenant was a physical representation of God’s promised presence with His people, the nation of Israel. It was a wooden chest clad with gold containing a gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. Solomon speaks of a God who fulfilled with His hands what He had spoken with His mouth. God had said what He was going to do, and then went and did it. How are we doing at worshipping as we work for the Lord? Are we workers primarily and then click a switch to engage worship mode as we come here on a Sunday? Or do we consider ourselves God worshippers as we work? God wants worshippers before workers. In God’s mind, the only acceptable workers are those who have learnt the art of worship. Do you consider all you do as acts of worship to God? Everything you do as acts of worship to God? Because that is the kind of people God wants and desires, the kind of people who worship Him in Spirit and in truth and in all aspects of life – not just for a couple of hours on a Sunday. Part 2. Solomon’s prayer. Verses 12-14 - Humility before and praise unto God. .Here in verses 12 to 14 we see that Solomon stands before the altar of the Lord. Solomon did not dedicate the Temple from within the Temple itself because that would have been the wrong place. That was where only the Priest could go, so Solomon stands outside, raised up so that the throngs of people could see him. Before the altar, spreading out his hands in an act of symbolism - reaching out toward heaven in a gesture of surrender, openness, and ready reception. Here Solomon recognizes that God was and is completely unique in all facets of being and expresses it. The false and pretend gods of the nations around Israel could not compare to Him in any way.Verses 15-17 - Solomon recognizes God as the maker and keeper of promises. Solomon commences now to thankfully praise God, because God has kept all His promises that He had mad in the past. Have you done that in your prayer life? Speaking out thanks for what God has done for you in the past? He continues and calls upon God to keep the promises that He has now made. We are, as His people, to take on board God’s promises, take them to heart in faith, and then boldly and reverently call upon Him to fulfil the promises. Again, is that part of your prayer life? God promises and we are to appropriate, take hold of them and proclaim them, taking them on board in our life by faith, knowing that God fulfils the promises that He makes to people. Verses 18-21 - Solomon asks God to dwell in this place and honour those who seek Him here. Solomon now asks a question in this prayer! How often have you and I asked God questions as we pray, rather than just listing off our demands. God would reside in the Temple but not to the exclusion of other places. While God would have a special presence in the Temple, He would not be restricted to it. Solomon asks God to listen to His people as they pray and worship in this Temple dedicated to Him. When God hears the prayers made in the Tempe, Solomon implores that He would forgive His people and probably the greatest answer to prayer that they could expect.

What are the challenges and comforts we have seen from this passage of Scripture? This Temple was destroyed about 400 years later by the Babylonians. It is long gone. What about David’s Covenant though? Was that ever fulfilled? Remember David’s Covenant which we looked at briefly earlier on? Was that ever fulfilled? We can say that it has been! It was fulfilled gloriously in the coming of God, in the man Jesus Christ. When the great God did indeed come as a human being in the person we know as Jesus Christ. It is historical fact. 2 Samuel 7:12 predicted the birth of Solomon as David's successor to the throne, with his role being to establish David's throne forever (2 Samuel 7:13). We see this link to the man Jesus Christ, through the genealogies to both Joseph: who had a legal right to King David's throne (Matthew 1:1-17) and to Mary: who had a blood right to King David's throne (Luke 3:23-38). The land is the whole world, now potentially the sphere of the rule of Jesus (Romans 4:13); the dynasty was, through Solomon, eventually to be the eternal son, Jesus (Matthew 1:1, 6, 16; Luke 3:23, 31); the Kingdom is the kingdom of God, now established, and ever growing in the world in which we live. (Matthew 11:12) All of which were fulfilled gloriously in the coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus the Messiah, the Saviour. Jesus Christ – fully God and fully human. Not just for the Jews but for all people of every race and language. Really that should make us go WOW in awe of our God. Our God is the God of history and has stepped into history as a human being. The New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 22:15-20) We see all this in what is called the New Covenant. Four features of this covenant are: Regeneration – God will write His law on the hearts of people. (Jeremiah 31:33) Restoration - God will be their God, and they will be God's people. (Jeremiah 31:33) Promised Holy Spirit – God will indwell people and they will be led by Him (Jeremiah 31:34) Justification – Sins will be forgiven, removed and remembered no more (Jeremiah 31:34) This new covenant is sealed only through the perfect sacrifice of the God-Man Jesus on the cross. His death ensures the truth of this New Covenant. His death pays the penalty for the sins of all people. That is why we are to say yes to God and His New Covenant. This New Covenant can be contrasted with the Old Covenant, the Mosaic covenant that we looked at earlier, (Jeremiah 31:32; Hebrews 8:6-13) because this New Covenant finalizes and makes possible what the Mosaic Covenant could only point to: the follower of God living in a righteous life conforming to God's holy character. Solomon asks in verse 18 “But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple that I have built!” In Solomon’s direct context, he was talking about the Temple which he was dedicating to God. In the overall context of the Bible, however, God did indeed come and dwell on earth. Not just with humans, but to be a human. Jesus Christ, the God-man. God keeps His promises and Jesus Christ is evidence of that. Oh that is so easy to forget when we are undergoing the trials of life. In what way does God keep His promises to us today? Five quick statements. By faith, He is praying for us. God the Son, Jesus Christ is making intercessions for Christians (Romans 8:34). He knows our troubles and He feels our cares and knows what we are going through (Hebrews 4:14-16). Isn’t that simply amazing and oh how easily we forget. By faith - He will come to us. Have you ever felt like God is far away? Well you aren’t alone! Solomon’s father, David, often felt that God was far away and unconcerned with his life. Just a cursory look in the Psalms will reveal that. However he also knew that God would ultimately rescue him. Jesus always comes to us through difficult times. Although He may not come in the time we think He should come, because He knows when we need Him most. By faith - He will help us grow - Once, when His disciples were in the storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus came to them walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-33). The purpose of this incident was to show that Jesus would be leaving them soon, so they had to learn to trust in Him when He wasn’t physically present. One of those disciples, Peter, wrote later on in his life, “for the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers” (1 Peter 3:12). How are you growing as a follower of Jesus? Not only in your knowledge but also in your transformation and development? As we are being transformed by the power of God the Holy Spirit into the image of God the Son, Jesus Christ, it is to the praise and glory of God the Father. Our transformation reveals God at work. By faith, He will see us through - Again, when the disciples were in the storm, Jesus said “Come” and Peter went with Him. This must have encouraged the other disciples, for upon seeing Jesus’ power they worshipped him. Whatever troubles you are undergoing are temporary, and Jesus will see you through. For various reasons 2015 for Youngmi and I started out as if it could be our annus horribilus. Yet it became our annus mirabilis instead as we saw God at work each day throughout the year. By faith, you have salvation - if you are trusting in Jesus alone for your salvation. By faith Jesus is praying for you, will come to you, grow you and help you through troubles. By being obedient to God, you and I are showing others our salvation and showing that faith, is not blind, but active. We can be obedient to Him by relying on His strength and wisdom. We are to be faithful to God and show it by being obedient to Him and getting on with the work we have been given, just as Solomon was in getting the Temple competed. Is your work worship or your worship work? As we go out tonight, let us remember that God keeps His promises, He is listening to your prayers and He wants us to be in a dynamic moment by moment relationship with Himself. This great God wants you and I to be actively obedient to Him in all facets of our lives – our work, our play, our conversations, our worship and our relationships. If you are struggling in a particular area, get trusted others to pray for you and to hold you accountable – that is part of discipleship – part of following and loving God. Our verse for the year as a Church is Psalm 105:4 “Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” That was what Solomon did in the building of the Temple. That is what we are to do as well, as I am sure you are aware. Not only the Church here as a whole, but as individual followers of Jesus Christ. If we try to do it in our own strength we will fail. If we do it in the strength of the God we proclaim to love, worship, serve and glorify then we can – because all glory and honour will go to Him and Him alone. As we go, are we ready in some way to tell others about this great God we claim is great and sing here in this fabulous building of our love and service? Are we ready to enable and encourage each other in the faith, and not just our friends and favourites, in some way as we see need? Are we actively engaging with the great God throughout each day, worshipping Him in all aspects of life and letting Him have dominion over every aspect of our lives as we put our trust fully in Him and in all aspects of life? We are to be faithful to God and show it by being obedient to Him and getting on with the work we have been given, just as Solomon was in getting the job done. As a general observation, most of the Church is scared of that word evangelism. We are not all to be evangelists like the Billy Grahams or Bruce Kitchings of this world, but we are to tell and show others about the God we claim to love and are in covenant with. Let’s go WOW the world, all of it, including our little corner here for God with the news of our God – the God who is outside of time who stepped down into time, into human history, in order that humanity could choose to follow Him or not - to be His children or not. Let’s keep our eyes fixed firmly on our God as we seek to enable and encourage – not just as a church body but also as individuals to all others that we meet. We are the Church on the hill. Let us, both as a church and as individuals, “Look to the LORD and his strength; seeking his face always.” Let’s go WOW for God together, heeding His advice and worshipping Him alone in all facets of life. Are you tired and in need of comfort from all the challenges you are having to endure? Keep your eyes on God and allow Him to embrace you, comfort and lift you up. Remember that He is for you, He lives within you and you are His child. Are you too comfortable? In need of a challenge to stop you becoming complacent? Ask God to help you overcome, to empower you and seek His face and wisdom. Ask for His strength to help you do what He has asked you to do? The God we have comforts us in our challenges and challenges us in our comfort. We have an amazingly glorious God! Let’s have a minute or two to bring ourselves before God and ask God to help you as only He can. Then I will close with a prayer before we go on to have our final song together.

Mark 8 - The significance of Peter's announcement that he believes Jesus is God's Messiah... and what it means to take up our cross.

LEVITICUS 5-6:Yesterday we read about sacrifices given for unintentional sins and for peace offerings. And I said that we would hear about offerings for intentional sins today. PSALM 12:In Psalm 12, we hear of trusting in God's promises even in the midst of hard times. LUKE 9a:Yesterday to the woman healed of bleeding, Jesus said, “It is because you believe in me that you are healed.” And to Jairus, He said, “ Don’t be afraid. Just keep on believing in Me.” GNT Translation note:Ps. 12:6 The [words//promises] of the Lord can be trusted;they are as genuine as silverrefined seven times in the furnace.[The Hebrew word here is not specific to just promises. But on the other hand, in this context, this verse is responding to the Lord’s promise in verse 5. So GNT’s translation is fine. However one can see the influence of the GNT on other translations by looking at this verse.]====Mrk. 9:8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had come back to life. 18 One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “[What role do the crowds say that I am fulfilling?//Who do the crowds say I am?]” he asked them.19 “Some say that you are [taking the role of] John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say that you are [taking the role of the prophet] Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”20 “What about you?” he asked them. “[What do you say about me?//Who do you say I am?]”Peter answered, “You are God's Messiah.”22 He also told them, “[I, the//The Son] of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. [I//He] will be put to death, but three days later [I//he] will be raised to life.”26 If you are ashamed of me[, the Son of Man,] and of my teaching, then [I//the Son of Man] will be ashamed of you when [I come in my//he comes in his] glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. NLT Translation notes:Ps. 12:5 The LORD replies, “I have seen [your violence done againstthe helpless,//violence done to the helpless,]and I have heard the groans of the poor.6 [Your promises, O LORD,//The LORD’s promises] are pure,like silver refined in a furnace,purified seven times over.====Mrk. 9:18 One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them, “[According to the crowds, whose position am I ministering in?”/ /According to what the people are saying, whose position am I apparently filling?”//Who do people say I am?”][In English, the answer to “Who do people say I am?” would be “Jesus”— his name. This is a case where one has to use more words than the original to capture the same intent.]19 “Well,” they replied, “some say the position of John the Baptist, some say [taking Elijah's place//Elijah], and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.”20 Then he asked them, “But [whose place do you say I am filling?”//who do you say I am?”]21 Jesus warned his disciples not to tell anyone [about this//who he was]. 22 “[I, the//The] Son of Man must suffer many terrible things,”he said. “[I/He] will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. [I/He] will be killed, but on the third day [I/he] will be raised from the dead.”23 Then he said to the crowd, “[PET  Everyone who wants to follow Me has to leave his own self interests and follow Me every day, thinking like this, I will keep following the Lord even to the point of death— even death by crucifixion!’//If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me.]44 “Listen to me and remember what I say. [I, the Son of Man am//The Son of Man is] going to be betrayed into the hands of [my/his] enemies.”58 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but [I,/0] the Son of Man, has no place even to lay [my/his] head.”

Does Philippians 2:5-11 describe the eternal God the Son humbling himself to become man? We think not. - In this podcast we explain some problems and contradictions with the "deity of Christ" interpretation of Philippians 2, and suggest a better way to understand this section of Scripture: When Christ Jesus "emptied" and "humbled" himself, he was already a human being. The acts of emptying and humbling himself relate to his obedience to die on the cross, not "to become a human being". - 1. The context of the Letter to the Philippians shows that Paul is talking about the human being, Jesus Christ. - 2. Paul is describing the mind of Christ Jesus, the title (Christ/Messiah) and name (Jesus) of the human being, not of an assumed pre-existent "Second Person of the Godhead". - 3. Paul expects his readers to have the same mind of Christ Jesus, which would be impossible if he was referring to an eternally pre-existent God who became a man. - 4. As in many other places in his writings, in this passage Paul differentiates three times between God and Jesus Christ. God is someone other than Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is someone other than God. - 5. Being in "the form of God" means Jesus is not God. The word for "form" does not have reference to the metaphysical nature of Jesus. - 6. Jesus has a certain representative, functional equality with God that Jesus knows is given to him by God, so Jesus knows he does not have to seize or hold on to that equality. He has it because God has given it to him. - 7. Jesus "being/being made in the likeness of men, in the fashion of men" (2:7-8) means that Jesus is a human being. - 5. Christ Jesus "emptied himself", taking on the form of a servant, that is, as a human being. Paul does not say that Christ Jesus "emptied himself" of his deity to become a man, but that he "emptied himself, taking on the form of a servant". - 6. Jesus Christ is obedient to God, to the extant of death on a cross. This means that Jesus is not God - he is obedient to God, and God does not die. - 7. God exalted Jesus Christ and gave him a name above all names. This means that Jesus is not God, since God exalted Jesus, and gave Jesus a name. - 8. Jesus Christ's exaltation and glory is never described as something he "gave up" and then "received back" again. Rather, his exaltation and glory is something he had and received only after his death. - 9. Will you and I bow the knee to God's designated human Messiah Jesus, or will we continue to insist that Jesus must be "God become man" before we bow the knee to him, refusing God's Messiah and God's will for us?

After opening his sermon with an explanation for the pouring out of the Holy Spirit that his Pentecost Day crowd was witnessing, Peter now turns to the main focus of his sermon. Beginning in verse 22 Peter now spends most of his time giving undeniable proof that Jesus Christ is Israel's Messiah and therefore God  has made Him both Lord and Christ. In this sermon, Brother Tracey looks at the 4 ways Peter shows that Jesus is God's Messiah.

The writer's goal in penning this epistle was to encourage and strengthen the faith of his Jewish Christian audience. They'd suffered hardship and deprivation and were being ostracized by their Jewish countrymen who accused them of forsaking the true God and His Torah by following a false messiah. They needed to be assured that Jesus is indeed God's Messiah. But even more importantly, they needed to understand that the totality of Israel's covenant relationship with God had been fulfilled and transformed in Him. Mosaic Judaism had served its role in God's purposes, and there was nothing to return to. The first proof of this is Jesus' supremacy as God's ultimate and final prophet.

The Gospel account has reached the pivotal moment - Yeshua's crucifixion. The fate of all humanity rests on 6 hours during a long planned-for-by-the-Father Passover. Genesis 3:15 is about to be fulfilled - "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." This ancient prophecy was given to Satan to let him know his inevitable doom at the hands of God's Messiah, a human descendant of Adam and Eve. At the crucifixion, Satan strikes Yeshua's "heel," bringing him death. And simultaneously, Yeshua crushes Satan's head, i.e. conquers his tyrannical dominion over mankind. Listen to Pastor Jay as he describes the events, the process, and prophecies of Yeshua's crucifixion in this gripping end to Satan's rule and our freedom!

The word disciplina itself, a Latin noun, is multi-faceted in meaning; it refers to education and training, self-control and determination, knowledge in a field of study, and an orderly way of life. Would you like to know HOW to download self-control, knowledge and orderliness? And, at the same time delete, nullify and protect yourself from disorder, ignorance and "out of control" responses? First of all, you must start your day with God's Word. It is the only primer for REAL success, guidance concerning daily living, and solutions for conflict. The Holy Bible will also protect you from ignorance of future "earth happenings." Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus, the Messiah) taught us that the Holy Spirit would: 1. Guide us into all truth; and, 2. Show us things to come. So ... what about the future? What about things we can't see? What about things like UFO's? The Book of Revelation shows us that there will be 10 Kings (geopolitical leaders) who will assist the anti-Christ Beast: the coming New Global Governance Leader. "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour [an undesignated period of time] will receive authority as kings along with the beast. These are of one mind and they hand over their authority and power unto the beast." (Revelation 17:12-13) I believe that these 10 End-Time Leaders will be "extra-natural" (outside of this world) beings, maybe extra-terrestrial beings. Or, maybe hybrid [the product of demonic spirits who have sex with earthlings and produce offspring]. This has been done before when the Nephilim were on earth. Read Tanakh [Hebrew scriptures] Genesis 6:1-4. +++ One reason I believe this is the following Scripture: "They will wage war against the Lamb [God's Son, Messiah], but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings ..." (Revelation 17:14) You would have to be awfully stupid to fight against God's Messiah! Only demons - or those associated with Satan's fallen wisdom - would attempt this. So ... what about the End-Time Ten Global Leaders who will assist Satan for a "period" of time? Will they be - are they - hybrids, aliens? Do NOT expect aliens to tell you the truth. They will probably tell you such things as: "We created you." "We want to enhance you." "We want to help you get out of the mess you're in!" Aliens are tangible: They show up on multiple radars simultaneously. They leave radioactive traces: evidence like burnt ground. They violate physical laws: 1. Faster than the speed of sound with NO sonic boom. 2. Make right angle turns at extreme speeds. In the Book of Daniel we learn many End-Time truths that were revealed to Daniel. [Messiah Jesus, himself, validated Daniel's teaching.] Daniel had been fasting for 21 days when the Angel appeared to him. "A hand touched me and set me trembling on my knees. He said, 'Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.' And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling." (Daniel 10:10) Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them." (Daniel 10:12) The Angel then told Daniel, "But the prince [head demonic authority] of the Persian kingdom resisted me for 21 days. Then Michael [the 'Warring Angel'], one of the chief princes [for God], came to help me, because I was detained there [fighting] with the king [head demon principality] of Persia. Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people [the Jewish People and Israel] in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come." (Daniel 10:13) It is clearly evident from this Scripture that a demonic "prince" fought against the Angel of the LORD for 21 days to delay the prophetic message assigned to Daniel. Should it be no less evident that demonic principalities, who are assigned certain geopolitical realms, would work in these days to influence or deter certain KEY decisions made by world - even local - leaders in authority? This is where the office of the Prophet is so important. This is WHY you need to start your day with God's Word ... and to PRAY as the LORD gives you revelational knowledge. I suggest you read and study my book Prophecy, Transition & Miracles: Healing Nations. It will help you know HOW to make prophetic decrees to bring about God's Order in your current environment. We know from Scripture that Satan drew one-third of the Holy Angels with him in his rebellion against God. These are no longer "holy" angels; they are demonic spirits who oppose all that is Good and Holy: all that is in the purpose of God. But ... they can NOT win because two-thirds of the angels remaining faithful to God are the Holy Angels sent to assist YOU ... if you know and serve Him. Many undoubtedly helped you find your way to a personal relationship with the LORD and His Messiah. Many more are with us than against us! We are now at the "entrance" to the Last Days. As we progress farther along in the End-Times, realize that Satan has his plans for world domination: through Global Governance, Global Religion and Global Finance. But, more importantly, realize that God WINS because His Son, the Messiah of Israel, will bring deliverance and continual blessing to Planet Earth. No ... He won't be some "new age" rabbi in the desert: He will be the KING from Heaven: the greatest Jew alive today! Make sure you know Him. If you do NOT know Him yet, here is HOW you can WIN.

10am Morning Service 6th January 2019 Luke 1:1-4 The first in our series looking at Jesus through the Gospel of Luke. Our hope is that as we spend our Sunday mornings this year delving into this amazing account of Jesus' life we might come to see Jesus more clearly, love Him more dearly and walk with Him more nearly. A few helpful facts about the Gospel of Luke... It's one of four accounts of Jesus' life. It's written by Luke, who was a physician, artist and a companion of Paul. Luke is the only author in the Bible who is not of Jewish heritage. The Gospel of Luke is the first of his two books in the Bible and there are many strong links with his second book, Acts. Luke's Gospel was written 20-35 years after Jesus' death to a 'patron' Theophilus and it's implied that it is also to Gentile Christians. Common themes in Luke's Gospel include... God's Messiah has come to His people That Jesus is the Saviour, including to the marginalised and the Gentiles Forgiveness of sins is through the death and resurrection of Jesus Jesus' ministry is in the power of the Holy Spirit Some of the account of Jesus' life is unique to the book of Luke, i.e the Samaritan and Prodigal stories.

Isaiah a special messenger from God came to the Jews, the special people God created to be a platform for His rescuer which a confounding message. God's Messiah, would be both a conquering hero and a suffering savior.

Matthew Series

05-31-16 - The AntiChrist - Revelation Chapter 13 The term "antichrist" occurs only in 1 and 2 John, and there in both singular and plural forms. It is part of a complex of images and figures that represent the activity and power of evil of those forces that are hostile to God. The Old Testament uses the figure of a dragon to symbolize evil's conflict with God existing from the time of creation to God's final triumph ( Isa 27:1 ; cf. Gen 1:21 ; see also the reference to Rahab the dragon/sea monster defeated at the time of creation, Psalm 89:9-10 ; cf. Job 9:13 ; 26:12 ). The dragon figure is applied to earthly powers who are enemies of God, such as Nebuchadnezzer ( Jer 51:34 ) and Pharoah ( Eze 32:2 ). The figure of the beast also denotes forces (specifically political powers) hostile to God ( Dan 7 ). Both these figures reappear in the New Testament, particularly in Revelation. The dragon is used twelve times in Revelation and designates the devil and Satan and the enemy of God's Messiah. The beast is a central image in Revelation used to symbolize that which opposes and parodies God. The New Testament indicates the presence of cosmic opposition to God through reference primarily to forces, people, or a person who seek to deceive those who already know God's Messiah. The cosmic struggle with evil is now chiefly localized in the church. So the spirit of antichrist ( 1 Jo 4:3 ), the false Christ ( Mark 13:22 ) and antichrists ( 1 Jo 2:18 ), the antichrist ( 1 John 2:18 1 John 2:22 ; 4:3 ; 2 John 1:7 ), the man of lawlessness ( 2 Th 2:3 ), and the "desolating sacrilege" ( the 1:1 Mark 13:14 the ; masculine participle suggesting a person such as the antichrist ) all concentrate their activity on the elect or the community of faith. These figure(s) lie and deny Christ ( 1 John 2:22 ; 2 John 7 cf. 1 John 4:3 ), lead astray ( Mark 13:22 ), oppose and even declare himself as God in the temple ( 2 Thess 2:4, ; cf. Mark 13:14 ). In both Testaments these figures function not only to describe the magnitude and threat of evil but to affirm God's control over creation. In the Old Testament and New Testament the image of the beast is used to describe both the power and intensity of evil and to declare God's ultimate victory. The figure of the antichrist and the man of lawlessness do not occur in the Old Testament, although their New Testament use is replete with Old Testament allusions. In the New Testament these figures function in line with the Old Testament conviction that God will ultimately defeat the forces of evil.

Do you ever feel that it simply doesn't pay to believe in the God of the Bible? He simply can't deliver on what He promises. Nehemiah and Ezra were both slaves in Persia, but God kept His promises to them. He brought Nehemiah home to rebuild Jerusalem and Ezra home to rebuild obedience to the Law. Both men set the stage for the gift of God's Messiah four hundred years later.

When Jesus entered Jersualem on a donkey's colt, he was making a bold claim to be God's Messiah - the one all Israel had been waiting for. But what kind of Messiah was he going to be and how would he save us? Join us as Pads Dolphin takes us back to that first Palm Sunday.

Genuine conversion must be among the most important issues to the Christian faith. How can we test whether we have experienced a genuine conversion? How can you discern a genuine conversion in another? Genuine conversion is based on faith in God's Messiah and demonstrated by repentance.

PODCAST SATELLITE  /  The Voice of IsraelWWW.PODCASTSATELLITE.COMwith Prince Handley WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL & ALL OF THE MIDDLE EAST Click the center of the pod circle ... give it 30 seconds to load.Listen now  ... or download for later.DESCRIPTION:A war between Israel and probably ALL of the Middle East will happen, not just bordering Arab states like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan: the Palestinians, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and others. In this podcast I show you WHY. In subsequent shows I will show you HOW.MUSICINTRODUCTIONThe Middle East conflict … the Israeli-Arab dispute … is at its essence thousands of years old. It is a spiritual conflict: the political aspects of which are merely the symptoms.The beautiful thing is, and which many of us know, that both sides can WIN. Individuals on both sides of the geo-cultural battleground can win by yielding to the headship of Yeshua, God's Messiah for all nations.National entities may clash, but individuals can find PEACE. I have had tremendous fellowship with Egyptian, Israeli, and Arab brethren in the Lord for many years. When Egyptian, Israeli, and Arab brethren love each other and all have similar major goals … to see the LOVE of God heal people and the POWER of God deliver them … then you have a benchmark from which to measure. These are NOT goals of homicide and terrorism. You know a tree by its fruit. You have a model for nations and cultures to emulate.Neither is this an offshoot of the ecumenical movement, where different theologies who have different ideas or philosophies of how to reach God, or to contact him, attempt unity in the flesh. What I’m talking about is a TRUE fellowship of people, in the Holy Spirit, who have experienced God through His Son, Yesua Ha Meshiach: Jesus the Anointed One.MUSICAlso, those who have experienced a genuine NEW BIRTH through the Messiah can do something that NONE of the cults, the occult, or the so-called New Age adherents can do: Yeshua's followers can PLEASE God! However, even though we can have peace individually and KNOW the TRUE GOD, the scriptures do show us that there will be a final Israeli-Arab war.In Isaiah Chapter 11, verses 12-16, we read a description of a war that will happen BEFORE Messiah comes to earth again (the second time). The first 11 verses tell us about Messiah's return and his rule of peace on earth. Verses 12-16 (the description of war) cannot happen during this time because Messiah's reign is characterized by peace. Another distinctive feature of the prophecy in verses 12-16 is that the war therein described has NOT happened historically. It has not happened yet!A war between Israel and probably ALL of the Middle East will happen, not just bordering Arab states like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. They (that is, the children of Israel ... both Ephraim and Judah) will "fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines (Palestinians) to the west".  In context Israel will strike against Egypt and Iraq (Assyria) and "plunder the sons of the East".  Israel will control these nations, and evidently, their wealth as a result of the plundering. Lexicographically, the "people of the East" include the Arab nations of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and others.It is very evident here in this passage ... see verse 14 ... that Israel will control the East Bank of Jordan (Ammon, Moab, and Edom). This happened in Joshua's time and it has NOT happened SINCE the days of Isaiah. This is a future prophecy that WILL happen!In the next podcast I will discuss HOW this will take place! Don't miss it!MUSICRight now, I want to discuss some things that are currently taking place in the world.A financial collapse and worldwide recession is about to take place. Food shortage is becoming manifest in many countries. A financial collapse accelerates the move toward a world money system. Right now there are 144,000 Jewish male prophets (12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel) being prepared to usher in the return of Messiah Yeshua for the establishment of His Kingdom.  Remember, before the 144,000 Jewish male prophets of God are to be marked, their will be a time of 1. Peace; then, 2. War; then, 3. Hyper inflation; then, 4. Death. This fourth devastation ... death ... will result in one fourth ... 25% ... of the world’s population dead. They will die from fighting, famine, disease, and wild beasts.Those who push for a  New World Order don’t realize it, but they are simply pawns in the hands of Satan. For example, look at the following quote:    "One-fourth of humanity must be eliminated from the social body. We are in charge of God's selection process for planet earth. He selects, we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death."  The above quote was spoken by Psychologist Barbara Marx Hubbard, Member and futurist/strategist of Task Force Delta; a United States Army think tank. (Read Revelation Chapter Six in the Brit Chadasha.)MUSICSatan needs the New World Order so that he can possess the body of the New World Leader, who will be none other than the False Messiah (the anti-Christ, or Beast) who will deceive the nation of Israel. This coming world leader of the NWO will make a treaty with Israel for seven years and allow the Jews to build their Temple on the Temple Mount. However, in the middle of the seven years (after 42 months have passed) he will go into the Temple and blaspheme G-d, even stating that he is god.Then a time of great persecution for the Jews will begin ... greater than the Holocaust under Nazi Germany.Be alert! Watch and pray! All these things will come to pass before Messiah returns. However, the Good News is that you can know the Messiah personally ... NOW! Pray to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Ask Him to reveal to you if Yeshua is really the Messiah. If He does, then receive Yeshua and live for Him. Study His Word. Read the Torah, the Tanach, and the Brit Chadasha. Pray ... ask G-d how He wants you to serve Him.MUSICPodcast time: 10 minutes, 18 seconds (with music)Podcast size:  9.43 MBIf you have been helped or received a miracle as a result of this study, email us and let us know what G-d has done for you.

To say that Jesus was a radical, “thinking-outside-of-the-box” person may well be the understatement of understatements! In living out his call as God's Messiah, he went against a lot of the expectations and categories of his Jewish contemporaries, especially the religious leaders. It appeared that everywhere he went he was turning social convention on its head with his Holy Spirit-empowered deep wisdom and amazing love. Jesus' incredibly loving, accepting behavior towards social outcasts and “sinners” made him the constant target of attention, scorn, and many questions from people.
