04. The Predestination Of Jesus Christ 1

Welcome to track #4 of predestination. I want to move on to another subject, still on predestination, and that is the predestination of Jesus Christ. Unlike other religious figures like you or me, we were not predicted to come, do you understand? But Jesus Christ was predetermined. I believe we were also predetermined, but our, our importance is far less than Christ. It's not written, but the predetermination that Christ would come to save you and me is there. Amen. And you see, I'm just going through this is just the background. I'm trying to give you a certain background for you to believe because when we finish this path, then I'm now coming to what you are predestined to do, which is 2 things, to full time ministry and then to kill yourself. So I am sharing with you, Yeah, you see, because you don't know we are discovering the will of God. We are discovering the will of God. So we have to discover quickly because one of the things that I'm going to also show you is where man has been planning something and God has also got another plan and how the whole thing mixes up messy. So 40. 5. Predictions about your saviour coming to this world to save you and detailed predictions. Detailed predictions about him, which is very important because it proves you see a cementing the reality. And this, what I'm preaching is what sometimes even ministers to Jews, because Jews. I was once sitting by a lady who inspired me to preach one of my favorite camps, which I preached, called my first love. You, you, you. You must. I told you to get the Makanair. Is it on the Makanair? I believe in this Makanair. Yeah. Spend time. You listen to it, you become even. You are depressed, I'm telling you. How many songs am I listening to? The Makana? The depression goes away. Yeah. It's like radio that is on. Yeah, it's like radio, I'm telling you. Yeah. You just become fluid and happy. Now. What was I saying? There's a lady who inspired me, said Jew, Jewish lady. I was sitting on a flight with her from either Australia or somewhere or she was coming from Australia. I was coming from the east, the east. So I sat by her for a long time and she told me that she was, she had she had been to England, she had seen her first laugh, her boyfriend her for my boyfriend said, well, he was my first laugh. That's how she described him. It is your first laugh that you lose your reasoning, powers of reasoning and then you flow in a certain way. But after the 1st and 2nd have gone, you see another one. You say what you love me. OK, you. We shall see 45. Predictions number one, that Jesus Christ would be born of the seed of a woman. Galatians chapter 4, verse 4 When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son made of a woman under the law. Galatians 4/4 that the woman it is a woman's seat, not a man's seat. Amen. This one brings me to something else, but I don't want to talk about that number two. There are so many verses. So I if we if you delay and I have a lot of little short films, I want to show you how many want to watch films like films. OK, Isaiah, that number two that he would be born of a virgin. It was predicted that a virgin would give birth. Isaiah 7 verse 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel. And in Matthew one verse 18, the Bible says Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 118 Amen. So you see that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. But in the Old Testament Now I was the reason why I was explaining about this lady who told me about her first love was that she was a Jew. And then, you know, she was telling me that, you know, sometimes when they explain these things, it, it makes you want to be convicted. You get it. And I've, I spoke to another Jewish person, or was it the other person maybe who was also explaining that when you, when they read Isaac or their whole Bible is this Isaiah and so on. That's the real Bible that they use. You see Torah, they, they, they believe this is the word of God. And they believe, like when the Bible professor, that Elijah is coming, he's coming to whatever in Israel every year they have a celebration of the Passover and they have a table and a chair and a cup that is left free for Elijah, everybody's house because. Elijah is supposed to. Come before them as Anna comes so they have this cup and Elijah's place I'm. Waiting for him. Yeah, so that's what Jesus said. Turn the Baptist. Elijah, if you can't believe it, he's the Messiah. Are you OK? No close eyes if you are in the 1st row, Second row, please. We are going 45 predictions. So if you close the eye on the second one, how will you, how will you get to Somebody here should predetermine the exit of such things. Amen. So. What do you call it when they read these things? That Isaiah, the one they believe in, He said that a virgin would give birth as far back as death. Then they look at it and say, wow, is this the Messiah? So it really confuses them #3 they predicted that this, that would be the Messiah, would be the Son of God, Son of God, which Jesus came and said he was in Psalm 2 verse 7, and says, I will declare the decree. The Lord has said unto me, Thou art my son, this day I have begotten thee. And in Matthew chapter 3, verse 17, the Bible says that a voice came down from heaven saying, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Remember when Jesus went for his baptism? So it was predicted in Psalm 2, and you can show to your Jewish friends that it was fulfilled in Matthew 3 when a voice came and said, that's my son. But in Psalm 2 he says, the Lord said to me, you are my son. So all through the Old Testament you see this prediction #4 that he would be the seed of Abraham. That means he would descend directly from Abraham. And in Genesis chapter 22, it's it's very specific, you see that things are too many to be accidental. That and there are. 45. Exact things. That's why Look, any of you here who likes me, I take you as a divine appointment. Yeah. If I like you, it's a divine appointment. If you are here, it's a divine. It's what A? The things are too many to be by chance. Which part is by chance that he will be? He will descend. Straight from Abraham, he says, In thy seed that was talking to Abraham shall. All. The nations of the earth be blessed because thou has obeyed my voice. Genesis 22, verse 18. That's the prophecy that he gave to Abraham. So when you are speaking to the Jewish brother, you tell him that every nation in the world is going to be blessed through Abraham, not just the 12 million Jews, that Jewish nation that they have today, there are only 12 million, there are only 12 million that country. But he says all nations have been billion are going to be blessed by you, Abraham, because you have obeyed my voice. Amen. What do you think? And then in Matthew chapter one verse one which you don't often read. The genealogy, it starts and it traces Jesus Christ from Abraham. It says this book, Matthew chapter 1, the book of the generation of Jesus Christ. The son of David, the son of Abraham. And verse 2. Verse 2. Abraham begat Isaac, Isaac begat Jacob, Jacob begat Judas and his brethren. Verse 3. And Judas begat Faris, and Zara of Tamar, and Faris begat, and Ezra and begat Aram. Go on. Verse 4. Aram begat amid Adam amid Adat begat Nasson. Next one verse 5. Salman begat booze of ratchet booze begat Obed of Ruth and Obed Jesse next one. Jesse begat David the King. David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Ureas. You see you you. You wouldn't have. Chosen that woman's child. You'd have said that he's a dirty child. Next one, verse 7. And Solomon begat Reboam. Reboam begat Abya. Abya begat assa go on Assa begat Josepha. Josepha begat Joram. Joram begat Ozias next 19 Ozias begat Joatam. Joratam begat Achas. Achas begat Ezekaeas next one. Ezekaeas begat Manasseh. Manasseh begat Aman. Aman begat Josiahs. Go on. Josiah begat Jaconas and his brother about the time they were carried away to Babylon. Yes, and after they were brought to Babylon, you cannot begat Salatiya. Salatiya begat Zerubbabel. Go on. The rebel begat Abeel. Abeel begat Aliya Khan, Aliya Khan Azo Azo begat Zebra. Zebra begat Achim. Achim begat Elude, next one Elude begat Eliza begat Matan. Matan begat Jacob. Next, Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is also called Christ. It has been traced from Abraham and it is it is something that was predicted that the land Abraham through Abraham, everybody in the world will be blessed. So all these. You see, like Judah, Judah, the child of Jacob. Is it Jacob? Yeah, Jacob, one of Jacob's sons. That's when he went and slept with the his daughter-in-law. And that daughter-in-law gave birth to. It's all in the line there fares. And that led to all those because that woman's husband was dead. It was his son's wife and then his son's wife when she married her mom, but her husband died. So that people are afraid of the woman that anybody, any man who marries her dies. So nobody wanted to whatever. So she was lined up as a prostitute and he came instead from her. She became pregnant. This is not the New Testament, this is the Old Testament. So they choose when they see that because you would have thought that Christians have created that pathway, but it's like the pathway passes through these people like that. Through all these complexes which are in the Bible, why is that? Particular incident that all of them coming through that's fantastic. So I tell you, shake your nearest predetermined person who was supposed to predetermine sit by you in a destinated fashion. It's powerful. #5 It was pretty. Tell me that he will be the son of Isaac, which was the son of Isaac. Amen. Which was the son of Jacob, Which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, Which was the son of Tara, which was the son of Naco. In Luke 334 he was predicted also to come from Isaac. That's number six. It was predicted that he will be also the son of Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. In Numbers 24, verse 17, it says, I shall see him, but not now. I shall behold him, but not nigh. There shall come a star out of Jacob. A scepter shall arise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of of chef. Numbers 24 verse 17, you see right here that a star, a star was predicted to come out of Jacob. Wow #7 it was predicted that he will come out of the tribe of Judah. I want you to know that details of your life have been planned by God. Don't get angry with God because He has planned your life in great detail, that He will come from the tribe of Judah. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. And unto him shall all the gathering of the people be. Amen. Now go to Genesis chapter 49, verse one on the screen here when Jacob wanted to bless his children. Do you see he started mentioning the different ones and then he called his sons best two. He called his sons best two. That by yourself best 3. Then he started with the first boy. He said you, you will not do well because you see you see, because what you went to sleep with one of my wives and his father saw it, but his father didn't his father saw it. You never hear anything but I was about Jacob knew about it. That's why the Bible says you shall rise up before the great headed and and honor the agent. Then verse 5, go on. Then these two guys, Simeon and Levi, the very powerful guys, number 2 and #3 we finished with number one because the one that he blessed who was going to rule was the 5th person. So Simeon and Levi, their instruments of cruelty, because they went and killed the people that they asked to be circumcised because they had slept with their sister, and they went and killed all of them. So he also cancelled them from the listing. The next one was who? Oh my soul not coming because they slew a man. OK verse 6 verse 7 K said be their anger mercy. Next one he was just facing them. OK then the 4th 1 is Judah. He. Whom thy brethren shall praise. Thy hand shall be the neck of the enemies to thy father to go down. Next one, Judah is a lion's, well, he cultures a lion go down next one. And the scepter. Scepter means that like now the leadership, you see the fourth child. So leadership left the first, the head bypass, the second bypass, the 3rd and then came to the fourth child. And then his scepter is a symbol of the king, of the leader. So you are going to be the king so that the kingship and rulership will never go from you. Judah, even though he had Joseph whom he loved, He's all those Benjamin and they were all there. He was going to bless them later, but when he got here, then he gave him the leadership, you see. So Jesus Christ is predicted to be, they will come from Judah, a lion from the tribe of Judah, you see. So Judah had to. So Reuben had to sleep with his mother, and Simeon and Levi had to commit murder. So that they will be eliminated. So that when somebody has sent, realize that is it may even be something related to you. The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, not a law give up from between his feet, until Shiloh come. And Shiloh speaks of of the Lord, you know, coming of the Lord or whatever. So this is a powerful prophecy. So, so you see Jesus Christ called the lion of the tribe of Judah. And you ask why the tribe of Judah? All these predetermined things. OK then the next one it was predicted that he will come from a particular family called Jesse Isaiah. Isaiah predicted this. Isaiah was also a Jew. In Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 1, he said. There shall come forth. A rod out of the stem of Jesse and a branch shall go out of his roots. So it's like you see Jesse's family, Jesse was the father of David, isn't it? But he predicted a rod will come out of Jesse's line, you see, then he goes on in verse 2, read verse two, he says, and this person, the spirit, my friend, whoever is there should be fast, otherwise I will change you. The Spirit of the Lord shall. Rest upon him the spirit of wisdom, spirit of understanding, spirit of counsel, my spirit of knowledge, and of the fear. Of the Lord describing the anointing that is on Christ and then goes on in the next verse and he says I shall make him a quick understanding in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge after the sight of his eyes nor reprove after the hearing of his ears that he's not going to operate by just what he's seen and hearing. So we're going to operate by more than that going to be a man of visions, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, understanding. And this verse is what all right, but with righteousness he shall judge the poor and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth and shall smite the whole earth with the rod of his mouth and the breath of the lips. He shall slay the wicked. Are you there? So it's a powerful and this one is talking about this the rod that is going to come out of Jesse. Yes, verse 9 and in Luke chapter 3, verse 32, you see which of the son of Jesse, which of the son of Uber Utah, the son of Bhutto, the son of Samuel Utah, the son of Nasun, he shows in the line Jesse is right there verse 9 #9 that he will come from the House of David in Jeremiah chapter 23 and this one of the prophet, the Jews themselves love and respect. He says, Behold the days come, said the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. Jeremiah 23 verse #5 It's also predicted that he will come from David. So if they are predicted that you come from Jesse, from David, from Abraham, from Isaac, from Jacob, I mean it's a very complex, it's like a sub puzzle. You have to come from here. So how come one person come from all these? Places. Do you get it? Yeah. And this one, they are not born. Oh, and some of them are born, but they are saying you come from David, called Jeremiah. David was born already. You come from David. This was a you come from Jesse. This was a star of this Judah, this they predicted and placing all the prophecies in place. So now the. Person come and fulfill all these credentials. Wow, it's not a small credential to have to say that you are the Son of God. Are you there now? When? All the people were baptized. In Luke 321, you see, I don't know if I have the right verse here, but it says in Luke 321 to 23, yeah, no one, all the people have our ties. The heaven was opened verse 22 and then verse 22 and the Holy Ghost descended, thou and beloved son, verse 23 and verse 23. And Jesus himself began to be 30 years of age, be, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, as was supposed the son of Helly. Amen. All right. But anyway, he was predicted to come from the House of David, number 10. He was predicted that he would be born in Bethlehem. So you must come from Abraham, you must come from Isaac, you must come from Jacob, you must come from Jesse, you must come from David, You must be born in Bethlehem. Hey. So you see, your best place is also important. And they said unto him in Bethlehem of Judah, Judea. For thus it is written by the Prophet. And thou Matthew 2, verse 5 and 6, it's a, it's a, it's a quotation from, I think Zachariah. Thou Bethlehem in the land of Judah are not the least among the Princess of Judah. For out of thee shall come a governor that shall rule my people Israel. Amen, thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah. Are not thou the least among the Princess of Judah? But out of you shall come a governor. So which person has such credentials? So many things about the person are described. I am saying all. These things to show you that there is nothing so accidental about your life. Amen. And you better be careful to find out His will and fit into it fast. Amen just predicted that He will be presented with gifts. Psalm 72, verse 10. The kings of Tashish and of the Isles shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts, Amen. What's vest 9? What does Vest 9 say? They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him Is predicting about, I believe, about the Saviour, and the best before, and the best before. He shall have dominion from sea to sea, and the best before. In his days shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace, and the best before. He shall come down like rain upon the moon, gas the best before they shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon throughout all generations. So he's talking about Him. Then he says, people shall bring gifts to Him. Amen. And Matthew chapter 2, verse 11. So when they would come to the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasure, they presented unto him gifts, gold, frankincense, and Mer, Amen. Verse #12 It was predicted that children would be killed by Herod. If you remember when Jesus was born it was associated with the killing of a number of children in Bethlehem and the regions around Jeremiah Chapter 31 verse 15. Thus say the Lord, a voice was heard in Rama. Jeremiah 31 verse 15, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children because they were not. It was predicted #13 that he pre existed. His going forth are from everlasting. Micah chapter 5. That's the scripture I was talking about Micah chapter 5 and verse 2. Amen. It was predicted that he would be somebody who has been there forever, and that's why Jesus said before Abraham was I am. Do you remember Jesus saying that I've been there before Abraham? But Micah predicted that somebody who was there before Abraham was going to come. And in Micah chapter 5 verse two, he says, But thou Bethlehem a prata, though thou belittle among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth he that is to be ruler in Israel, whose going forth have been from old, from everlasting, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. So if you come and you say you are the Messiah and you are not from everlasting, and you are not from Abraham, from Isaac, from Jacob, from David, from Jesse born in Bethlehem, people presenting against all the a lot of combination, you are not the one. So you see the details. I think it is beyond our fathomable imagination that such details can exist. And that is why we read in Psalm 139 said that you are wonderfully and marvelously created by God, fastened in great detail. I believe that God knew that I'll be here exactly today. My friends are my friends. My pastors are my pastors, my members are my It is a divine thing. It's true. It's very accurate. Long ago I stopped worrying about money in this work that I'm doing because I have come to believe God will give me what I need to do his work. So it was predicted. Ask your neighbor, are you from everlasting? Please ask your neighbor, are you from everlasting? Of old? Have you been around from of old, from everlasting? America was formed in 1777, just 1777. But we are talking of somebody who has been from everlasting from of old, not 1777. And the first thing that he will be called. Lord and the Lord said. To my Lord Psalm 1110. That's why sit down till I make Psalm 110, verse one to four. Thy enemies thy foodstool. The Lord shall send a rod of strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, and in the beauties of holiness. From the womb of the morning Thou hast the dew of thy youth. Amen. The Lord has sworn, and He will not repent. Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. A priest forever #15 that he will be called Emmanuel. Isaiah Chapter 7, verse 14. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel a virgin. Look, there is a big court case in actually it is in my own family and that case involves and a relative. You see there was one of the members of the family who was very rich many years ago and in his will he had children. These are the children. Now when he wrote the will, one of the children. Was not born. Yes, and I can show you properties that are worth millions of dollars. That have been. Bequeathed to this person who was not born on the date that the will was being written, but he was predicted in the will two years before he was born, that there shall be a son. Born and his name shall be such and such, and he's also being given all these millions of whatever, yes. So I was once having an argument. With one of them and I was, I was telling him that look, the the age of the wife, the the wife has already finished giving birth. She was now in her 40s, in the in the twilight of fertility. Twilight years of fertility Yes, now you are predicting that this. Person who is in the Twilight Zone. Of fertility is going to become pregnant in two years, that you will be alive in two years and that the child will be born and it will be a male, a boy, and that this will be his name. And can you understand why some people will say that its a forgery? Yes, so you will not understand these things in the Bible till you meet somebody who is trying to be like Jesus. He's trying to be like Jesus to say that he Isaiah 7 bring the best. Oh, who is that? And and a virgin. This is a woman in her twilight zone. This one is a virgin free. I mean, everything is intact, and she shall conceive and she will bear. A son, not a daughter. Go and ask this lady Queen. Queen, this the wives of Henry the Eighth, his eight wives, What happened to them? All of them gave birth to girls, especially one of the famous uncle Anne Boleyn. She tried. She kept getting. Pregnant and losing all of them. Pregnant losing their pregnant losing their. Pregnant losing them. It was her, one of her sister's children or her daughter. Queen became the Queen Mary who or she gave and she gave birth to Queen Elizabeth, the first Elizabeth, what was called the Virgin Queen. She saw her mother executed and all these things happened. She decided never to marry, never mind everybody wanted to marry the Duke of Sweden, the Prince of France, this of that. Everybody said no, she just call them and do something. Came like that. Never married any of them what she saw. It's not easy to have a son before you. Predict that a virgin or a woman in the twilight zone. Will give birth in two years time and you have predicted a yes, yeah. And the name and you will have said all this money and all these properties and whatever are for you. Have you seen that you yourself are saying? So it's a very fantastic prophecy. So when Mary got up and said, you know, the Angel appeared to me and said the holy thing that shall be conceived of this whatever, whatever. That's why we do the 9 lessons and cows. I hope you have been doing it in your churches. You're doing 9 lessons and we have to read this particular verses to remind ourselves of the more fantastic prophecies that we believe. There are 52 fantastic things in the Bible that we all believe, but I cannot share it with you at this camp. 52 of them fantastic and. This is one of the fantastic things. It must be a man of faith. Amen. So. It was predicted and they gave him the name Emmanuel. Matthew 123 unless one that he will be a prophet. Deuteronomy, verse 8, chapter 18, verse 18. I will raise. Them up a prophet from among their brethren like unto thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command them. Deuteronomy 1818 There's going to be a prophet. 17 That he'll be a priest. Psalm 1110 Thou shall be a priest, a judge, and a king #18 That he will have a special anointing, and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. Isaiah 11 That a man will come with a special anointing. Amen. What do you think and and what was Jesus? Jesus, His father's name was not Joseph Christ, Joseph and Mary Christ. No, he was Mary and Joseph. But Jesus nickname which is anointing was Christ. From his movements and maneuvers in the system he developed a name. You know how some people get a nickname in school? There are some schools in Fancy Pym school in Ghana. There's a school in Ghana called in Fancy Pym. There are special things that they have in that school, Nicknames. Everybody is giving a nickname when you go to that school. That's the main thing that they do in that school, give giving nicknames. Are you there? Are you listening to me? I said, Are you listening to me? Jesus had a nickname, anointing Christ, Amen #19 That he will be a man of zeal. Psalm 69. For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me. Zeal. His zeal was pretty, that he would beat the people in the temple. So the day that he went to the temple and was lashing the people, that one was also predicted #20 that He would begin his ministry in Galilee. Isaiah Chapter 9 tells us about that. Perhaps the most anointed of all the prophets. Isaiah never. Isaiah Chapter 9, verse one. Nevertheless, the dearness shall not be such as was in her vexation. When are the first He likely afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali. After we did more grievously afflicted by the way of the sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nation. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death upon them have the. Light shined beyond Jordan in Galilee, so the people that walked, so you see it was in Galilee, and Galilee is where. Jesus did miracles. I don't do miracles everywhere. No one does miracles everywhere. You have miracles at particular places where miracles are held or can be held. It's. True. You can't do Everything Everywhere. I can't teach everywhere. Yes, so Baba, Baba said one, they just began to upgrade the cities where his great miracles were done corazing. There's that. Those towns beside us, all around the Lake of Galilee. Galilee was at lake surrounded with so many little towns and villages. And these towns, Galilee, Kapenum, Corazon, beside us all, that is where Jesus did his great miracles, you see. So the man, the Bible says he began to upgrade the cities where the great miracles were done. That's what he means. So you can't do it everywhere. And it is Galilee that they saw that great light. Wow. So when you are coming. You say you are the Messiah. You must come from Abraham, you must come from Isaac, you must come from Jacob, must come from David, from Jesse. You must be from Bethlehem, at the same time must be from Galilee. You must, you must be giving gifts a lot. You must also come from Egypt. It's also there. So you look at it, you ask yourself, what type of person must you be that he will be a man of miracles #21 then Isaiah 35, verse 5, verse 6. Then the eyes of the blind shall be open, and the years of the death shall be unstopped, and the lame shall leap us a hat and the tongue of the damsing. For in the wilderness our waters break out, and streams in the desert. Isaiah 35 verse 5 and 6 you see all through the Bible you suddenly see these glimpses of revelation when the prophet is speaking. Then suddenly you see something has come up that he will be a teacher of parables. Psalm 78 verse 2 I will open my mouth in a parable and I will act utter the dark sayings of old. Psalm 78, Somebody may ask, how do you know that this particular verse applies to Jesus? When you read the context, sometimes you can't even see that it applies to Jesus. But that is how prophecies are. Most prophecies are known after they have happened, when it when it has already happened. There is, oh, this is that almost every prophecy that has happened, you know that it's a prophecy. After it has happened, then you realize that oh. This is that because when you look at Jesus, you realize that oh, he is from Abraham, He is from Isaac, He is from Jacob, He is from he is from Jesse. He came from Egypt because his father took him there. He kissed his life from Galilee. He did miracles, He did parables. He was anointed, very annoying. So much so that he became a nickname. He was with sisters. He was born in Bethlehem. This he seemed to be fitting. All the predictions that he would enter the temple #23 I will shake all nations at the desire of all these things shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. Haggai 2, verse 7. And the glory of the latter house shall be greater than that of the former #24 that He will be a light to the Gentiles. Isaiah 16, verse 3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. How many umbrellas are the whole Gentile world? The nations of the world, from the East, Africa, Europe, everywhere we have. All come to the light, but no one used to come to the light. The Gentiles didn't used to come to any light in Jerusalem or any light in Israel. But when Christ came and light came and the Gentile nations of the all of us from Malaysia, from Singapore, from India, from Australia, from Africa, China, and we are all coming to that, that we never used to go to any light of any Israelis. They have their own religion, but there was a position. That the Gentiles will come to this light that is going to come. So, my friends, the predictions are too many. That he will rise from the dead. Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body. They shall arise awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust, for thy dews are the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isaiah 26, verse 19. Isaiah 26. Go to 18. We have been with child, we have been in pain brought forth wind. We have brought forth wind messy. We have not brought any disease price to the earth, neither have the inhabitants of the world falling the next best. Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body. Shall they arise awakening? Mercy. And we know that Jesus rose from the dead #26 that he would ascend to heaven. I mean, all these things are in the Bible. Psalm 68, verse 18. Thou has ascended on high, and thou has let captivity captive. Thou has received for men. Yeah, for the rebellious also that the Lord God might dwell among them. I mean, look at that, You've ascended on high and let captivity captive. It was predicted by Jewish prophets that there is something about ascending on high. What? Whoever is ascending on high, there is an ascending on high and then what? There is a captivity being LED captive and then there is receiving gifts for men. Is it not a gift to be a pastor, an apostle who can establish church, a prophet who can see visions? An evangelist is a gift. He just shared gifts so that God could be amongst. Men. Is it, is it not that God? Might dwell among them. Through the presence of these powerful gifts, Apostolic, prophetic, pastoral, evangelistic teaching that is through that that we have the presence of God amongst men, even for the rebellious, I'm going to have this blessing. So you see, you see, I mean, this is Jesus and he's talking about how he ascended into heaven. The whole of Christianity is based on Christ ascending to heaven and giving gifts to men. That's why. Paul gave the revelation, he ascending to other and gave gifts to men to suddenly give apostle, prophet, pastor, teach and evangelist, that God might dwell among them, that God might dwell among them in the presence. Of these people that brings the presence of God among that we can also send this looking up towards God. Amen. 27 That he will sit at the right hand of God. Psalm 1110, verse one. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit down at my right hand, until I make that enemies thy footstool, who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person. Hebrews 1/3 And upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had Himself paired our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. Hebrews one. Verse 3 was predicted in 28, the 28th prediction that He will be betrayed by his friend. Psalm 55 For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, then I could bear it, nor is it one who hates me, who has exalted himself against me. Then I would hide myself. But it is you, a man my equal, my companion and my familiar friend. We who had sweet fellowship together walked in the House of God in the throne. Yeah, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted we did eat of my bread, Hath lifted up his heel against. Me. Well, it looks just like Judas. The name Judas cannot be found on this earth anymore. It was a good name. That one act embodies the act of all forms of treachery. And that name now means treachery. It means betrayal, it means its an evil name. Now my. Own familiar friend and Judas embodied everything about betrayal. Just believe that he'll be betrayed for money. And I said unto them, if you think with Zachariah Chapter 11 verse 12, now the Zakaria ones are coming. Zakaria was very powerful. Zakaria. You never know why some of these names are strong. And Zakaria was very wild in his predictions. He said and I said unto them, if you think good, give me my price Zakaria 11/12 and it's not for bear. So they wait for my price. 30 pieces of silver, not 31, not 40. I mean, do you think when Judas was going to start, like he was trying to fulfill some prophecies? I want to fulfill the prophecy and I was selling for exactly 30 pieces of silver. You now think about it and see how you have gone. He asked for Tessa. We will give you 30 and that thirty was in the Bible. If you are sold him for 40. Christ would have been good, but he came to fulfill something. Exactly so sometimes when you are misbehaving you don't know that you are fulfilling a prophecy. Zim like this, you are exactly the Bible. Mercy Matthew 26, verse 15 And he said unto them, What will you give me? And I will deliver him unto you. And they covenanted with him for 30 pieces of silver, that the money received from betraying him would be thrown into the temple. That's number 13 #30 they predicted it was predicted in the Bible, the autism and that money that was collected from betraying Christ will be thrown into the temple. God Judas threw it away to them. If you remember, if you want the passion, Zechariah 11, verse 13. And the Lord said unto me. Cast. It unto the Potter a good prize, that I was prized out of them. And I took the 30 pieces of silver and cast them to the Porter in the House of the Lord. And it's fulfilled in Matthew 27, verse 5. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went and hung himself. It was predicted that the money would be used to purchase a field. You see, now we are coming to the more fantastic parts of the prophet because this part you cannot manipulate it. They are historical and we see involved deaths and events involving treachery and how he was bred. All those things that happened, you see that you can't really control it. Things that are out of there, maybe you also. Jesus knew that He would be this, so he went to do it. Jesus realized how the Messiah would be this so that when he reaches this point, things were not under His control anymore. He was not guiding Judas. OK now Judas throw it here. OK, now Judas do this here. OK now pry priest use it to buy this. OK do this now. Now the money we used. To purchase a field, Zachariah Levin beste And the law said unto me, cast it onto the Potter, a goodly prized, that I was prized out of them. And I took 30 pieces of silver and cast it to the Potter in the House of the law, that it would be used to purchase a field. Amen. And they took counsel with them, with the Pottes field and bought with them the Pottes field, Matthew 27, verse 7. They bought a Potters film to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called the field of blood. And to this day, So pastors, a good price. Don't be sad when people take an offering for you. And it's very small. It's in Zechariah, he said. I was priced at 30 pieces of silver. That is the value they gave for what I was doing for them. A goodly prized that I was prized for 30 pieces. I've met so many passes who are so disappointed when their churches take offerings for them to appreciate them or to honor them. Sometimes their birthdays different things and you see they have brought. The meager amounts, one person was telling me say, hey, when I was transferred from this church and I was going to this church, I've been with them for so many years. He said that the offering that they took for me, he said, look, I just look at these people and I just left. I'm talking about full time. Not even a lay pastor. A lay pastor, your, your real work is at the place that you work. And a layman is not so really supposed to eat the offering. He's a holy thing. And I would say and a layman shall not eat of it. Yeah, I'm talking about somebody whose life, work, everything is to be a Levite and working from Monday to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, every day. So I said, look, a good leaper. I was pride the. Value They place on me 30 pieces of silver. If I was to follow the price that people have placed on me, like you, you leave the ministry. It's true. The next 1 #32 that he would be patient and silent under suffering. When he was suffering. Isaiah 53 verse seven, that he will be patient and silent. Read it. Who has a microphone? Read it. He was oppressed and he was what, Afflicted. Yet He opened up his mouth. Remember that He was quiet. Jesus, Herod, Pontius Pilate, when they were questioning him, isn't it? Isn't it OK? He's brought as a lamb to the slaughter, isn't it? When lambs are being brought to the slaughter, do they speak? They say, will it be painful? No, they don't ask for that to be painful. They are just cool. And then you cut. So Jesus. Most Christians, we suffer like pigs, not like lambs. Have you ever seen a pig that is going to die? You see us screaming we die like pigs. We don't die like lambs. But Jesus died like a lamb. Why? Actually, we just let that died silently like a lamb. And most of us, we die like pigs. Resist every form of suffering. We reject every kind of struggle, any kind of hardship or difficulty. When God calls and said come and give up your life for me, we reject it. We fight with God like pigs. We are not like lambs. And the sometimes even when you yield yourself, you yield yourself with a lot of complaints and a lot of talking. That's true, Ababa says. Like a sheep. And this is only a farmer who can say this, somebody who has flotted different types of animals and knows how all of them behave when they have to suffer. So I'm just cool it like that. If this is what you want from me, I want it. The others are wow. That is why pigs are killed with guns. They shoot them. Yeah, they shoot them. Cannot easily kill a pig. And the body is slippery, so they shoot them in the head. Yeah, they shoot them in the head. No, no, they look. Cannot easily kill it. It will fight, scream. Oh, and the Bible say that Jesus died like a lamb. They took him to the altar. They took him to the cross. They never said anything. You, you will see your father, this, your mother, your children. I'll kiss you. Your this will be that. You will see fire. You, you. You are the one who spat on me. I've seen you. Your children will be like this, this and that. No, just quiet. Moving, cooling, cooling. That's what it means when you say he died like a lamb cooling it's. True. Many times when God calls us and even we start to obey of our pig, nature begins to rise up. Swine, Swine. Matthew 27 verse 12 says. And when he was accused of the chief prison elder, he answered nothing. Then said Paladin unto him, Here rest thou not how many things they witnessed against thee. And he answered him never a word in so much that the governor marveled greatly. Yeah. I mean, some of you, if you go to the doctor and they are doing something or the dentist and they are doing so, they better have a soundproof room injection #33 that he would be hated without a cause. He would just predicted that there will be somebody who will come, will be hated without a cause. He said They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. They that would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully are mighty. Then I restored that which I took not away. John 15, verse 24 The fulfillment. If I have not done among them the works which none other man did, then they had not seen. But now they are both seen and hated me, both me and my father. This cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law. They hated me without a cause. John 152425 That's 34 #34 that the Jews and the Gentiles would come together against him, both Jews and Gentiles. It was predicted that Jews and Gentiles will come together against our Saviour. Why do the hidden rage and the people imagine the main thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers to take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointing. Psalm 2 verse 1 and 2 people gang up against Pilot. The rulers, the leaders of Jerusalem, the political leaders, everybody came together against Christ. Amen, Bible says, and the same day Pilot and Herod were made friends together, but before they were at enmity between themselves. Luke 1223, verse 12. The kings of the earth and rulers take counsel together. Is it not fantastic? Stand on your feet, everybody, that His hands and his feet #35 stand on your feet and write that his hands and his feet will be nailed to the cross. That his hands and his feet will be nailed to the cross. We are coming to one of the most amazing sounds, Psalm 22, verse 16. It says, for dogs have come past me, the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet. Psalm 22, verse 16. Amen. Are you there? They have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet. All right. Dogs have come past me. Messi the disciples therefore said unto him, John chapter 20, verse 25 Except I shall see his hands in his hand, the print of the nails, and put my finger into the prints of the nails, and thrust my hand into the side. I will not believe. Amen. I feel a lot of people moving in and out. It's really disturbing me. So I want to stop. And then you sort out yourself. Whatever it is that is the problem. Then when you solve it, and I'll continue preaching, it actually disturbs me. OK, It's distracting to me. So sort it out and then when you are ready you call. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
