(242) “The Promises of God Are Absolute, No Matter How Circumstances Appear”
Have you received some prophetic words that haven’t come to pass yet? When prophecy comes to us, we have a tendency to think that we will see an immediate fulfilment, and if we don’t, we can get discouraged. In this discussion, the Busses talk about prophecies from Scripture that saw different forms of fulfilment over many years of waiting, some of which have yet to be fulfilled. But God’s timing is always perfect. So if you’re still waiting, be encouraged—God isn’t done! His timing is perfect, and His promises are sure.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800
When prophecy comes to us, we have a tendency to think that it's immediate.
2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:07,440
We have an expectation that's immediate.
3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,920
And if it doesn't happen within a year, it's not God.
4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Yeah. And the thing about prophecy is that prophecy can have more than one fulfillment.
5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,520
Yes.
6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,960
And so we need to not be so quick about deciding what the prophecy means.
7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,720
Because many times it repeats itself.
8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:35,600
It'll repeat itself and it'll get bigger every time.
9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,400
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out a spirit on all humanity.
10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promise outpouring,
11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,040
we equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,240
I'm Philip Bus.
13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,040
And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.
14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,040
We are so glad that you're with us.
15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:03,360
This is going to be a wonderful, encouraging discussion that will help you gain faith
16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,040
because you can know that you know that you know that the promises of God are absolute,
17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,080
no matter how circumstances appear.
18
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,320

00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,840

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,720

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,320
It's going to be a glory time in St. Louis, Missouri at the St. Louis Airport Marriott.
32
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,560
We know for sure that we have Tony Kemp is going to be speaking for us and also Dean Braxton.
33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440
I'll be one of the speakers and we've got a few more.
34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720
So we're just wanting to make sure that you're going to be there.
35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,640
It will be a family camp.
36
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,000
There's something for every age group and it's going to be anointed and life changing.
37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,400
We're going to have glorious worship and deep word things that'll be life changing for you.
38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,800
Intercession off the charts and a call to the nations.
39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,800
If you have any kind of a call to the nations, if you're an intercessor,
40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,000
these are areas that in particular you're going to find people of like precious faith.
41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,600
You're going to find your tribe.
42
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
It's going to be a glory, glory time.
43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
So we want to make sure that you're planning to be with us.
44
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,360
There's a link on our website on the events page where you can go there and make a reservation
45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,400
at the hotel and just plan to be with us and bring somebody with you.
46
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,560
And while we're at it, bring somebody into this podcast with you.
47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,320
If you have friends that love the deep things of God and they have a vision for what God wants to
48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,880
do in the earth in these days that are to come, it's greater than revival.
49
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,400
It's outpouring.
50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400
It's greater even than reformation.
51
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,280
It's outpouring where the Holy Spirit is going to change lives.
52
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,360
So we want to encourage you to participate with us and bring people along,
53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080
especially if you're listening on Apple podcasts.
54
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960
If you would put a review, give us a five-star review.
55
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Those things help to promote the podcast and get other people interested in it.
56
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680
It will really make a difference for us.
57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,720
And if you want to help us, you know, we don't have anybody sponsoring this podcast.
58
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
I kind of don't even like the idea of having sponsors where you have to say,
59
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,800
this episode is sponsored by and do an advertisement for people.
60
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760
But we do need help to pay it forward.
61
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,440
We're just taking it out of our general fund to stand behind this and make these podcasts
62
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,320
available to you.
63
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,880
So if you are enjoying it, if you feel led by the Holy Spirit, we would encourage you to help us out
64
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,360
and encourage others.
65
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Just forward this on to somebody else that you know will be helped by it.
66
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,400
So Philip brought up a message in our devotions with our staff yesterday
67
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,840
that I just want to throw the ball to you, Philip, and you just run with it.
68
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,920
You know, this time of year, many of us, we listen to Handel's Messiah.
69
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Oh, yeah.
70
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,240
And it's all scripture.
71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,480
I love it.
72
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,640
And it's about, you know, the birth of Jesus and then the Hallelujah Chorus,
73
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,440
which everybody knows, even if they don't know anything else, they usually recognize
74
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,040
Hallelujah Chorus.
75
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,160
And there's one of the scriptures in there that is prophetic of Jesus,
76
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,720
but very, I'd say probably ninety nine point nine percent of believers would not know where
77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,480
it comes from or the circumstances have all been around it.
78
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,720
They might know that it comes from Isaiah, but they probably don't know the content.
79
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Yeah, they would know Isaiah, but they don't know what's going on around it.
80
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
And that is the scripture.
81
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,360
Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign.
82
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,360
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and call his name Emmanuel,
83
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,640
which when you listen to Hannah's Messiah, the interpretation is God with us.
84
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400
That's what Emmanuel means.
85
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Why don't you just sing that that little clip?
86
00:05:46,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel,
87
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,800
God with us.
88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,720
There you have it with no effects on it, no computers, nothing.
89
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Just voice.
90
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,600
So I want to look a little into the history because this is about Mary,
91
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,280
who is going to birth Jesus and the story behind that.
92
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,120
It's in the first chapter of Luke.
93
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,720
And when she has this visitation of the angel and the angel says unto her,
94
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,320
And behold, you shall conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus
96
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,160
or Yeshua.
97
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160
Yes, that would be the Hebrew name.
98
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,160
And it means salvation.
99
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,480
He shall be great and shall be called the son of the highest and the Lord God shall give unto him
100
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,480
the throne of his father, David.
101
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,200
He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
102
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Then Mary said unto the angel, How can this be?
103
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
See, and I know not a man.
104
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
The angel answered and said to her,
105
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,560
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee.
106
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,200
Therefore also the holy that uses thing here, you know, is the scripture.
107
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,800
I didn't have time to look that up.
108
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,920
It's got a better meaning, but which shall be born of you shall be called the son of God.
109
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,560
Amen.
110
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,640
So this is the promise to Mary.
111
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:39,520
So we go back the circumstances where this all started to about 742 BC.
112
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,000
This is a long time ago, 750 years plus 2000 years there.
113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,760
So you're talking 2750 years ago.
114
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280
This word was given that a virgin shall conceive.
115
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,960
And the story is referring to the days of Ahaz, the king of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah.
116
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,160
And this is what's happening.
117
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,880
The resin, the king of Syria, Pekah, the king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it.
118
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,520
So the city is going to be besieged.
119
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,400
And you know, back then, when a city is besieged,
120
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,440
they encamp around it and you starve the people out of it.
121
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,720
Yeah, that's usually what happens.
122
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,880
That's a that's a really tough thing.
123
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,120
But the word of the Lord comes to Isaiah.
124
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,360
And he says unto him, I'm writing out of the King James here,
125
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Take heed to be quiet, fear not, neither be faint hearted for the two tails of the smoking fire
126
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,320
brands, for the fierce anger resin with Syria and the son of Remaliah.
127
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Because Syria Ephraim, the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against you, saying,
128
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,560
Let us go against Judah, vex it, and let us make a breach thereof for it,
129
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,680
said a king in the midst of it, even the son of Thabiel.
130
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,680
And thus says the Lord God, it shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
131
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:02,240
Amen.
132
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Hallelujah.
133
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760
Now, tell you a little bit about this king.
134
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Was Ahaz a good guy?
135
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,960
He was not a good guy.
136
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,400
He was a wicked king.
137
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Yeah.
138
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,160
And so here you are, the prophet of God going to a wicked king.
139
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,240
So I'm going to go back to second Kings, chapter 16 and verse seven.
140
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,760
This is Ahaz.
141
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,880
And the 17th year, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah began to reign.
142
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,800
20 years old was Ahaz when he began to reign.
143
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680
Think of yourself as a 20 year old if you're older.
144
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,680
Do you think you are fit to rule a nation?
145
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,320
Uh huh.
146
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,880
You know?
147
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Sure is.
148
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,400
You got a lot of pressures, peer pressure, da da da da.
149
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,440
And he reigns 16 years in Jerusalem and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord
150
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,880
like David, his father.
151
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,160
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son pass through the fire.
152
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Oh my.
153
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,200
According to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
154
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,880
And what he is doing here is what they would do.
155
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,840
They would sacrifice their children.
156
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480
A lot of times the firstborn on the Moloch.
157
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
And this was a God of Ammon.
158
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,440
You know, this was a pagan practice.
159
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,680
Actually, I'll read the scripture here.
160
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,680
First Kings 11, 7.
161
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,080
Then did Solomon build, and this was the downfall of Solomon in his later years, which he did repent of.
162
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:42,320
Then did Solomon build a high place for Shimos, the abomination of Moab and the hill that is before Jerusalem and for Moloch, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
163
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Now what Moloch was, it would be like a big statue, a big idol.
164
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,320
And it had its hands would reach out.
165
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,320
And they had a big fire going in it.
166
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,320
So it would just get red hot and they would put a live baby in its hands and sacrifice it live.
167
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,320
That was the practice.
168
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,600
And different kings did this.
169
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,560
They would sacrifice their children under Moloch.
170
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,320
You know, this is an abomination.
171
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Sure it is.
172
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,320
You know, and all that.
173
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,320
And here it is in Jeremiah chapter 32, 35.
174
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:20,240
And they shall build the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnon to cause the abomination.
175
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:27,280
And they shall cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire on the Moloch, which I commanded them not.
176
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination to cause Judah to sin.
177
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,280
So you see adjoining here a Baal and Moloch.
178
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,280
And this same spirit is alive today.
179
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280
I'll give you one more scripture.
180
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,280
The first time this is mentioned, you know, Moloch, this is in Leviticus chapter 1821.
181
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,280
And now shot, and this is what the Lord gave Moses to tell the children of Israel.
182
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280
And now shall not let any of the seed pass through the fire to Moloch.
183
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Amen.
184
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Neither shall thou profane the name of the Lord thy God.
185
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280
I am the Lord.
186
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,280
So that is the background of Moloch.
187
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280
And so this is the influence on King Ahas.
188
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Because, you know, he also because he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places on the hills.
189
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Under every green tree, every abomination in the book.
190
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,280
So here you have the administration of that day.
191
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,280
He's the head cheese.
192
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,280
You know, he's the king.
193
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,280
He's the head administration are into idol worship.
194
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,280
And this is parallel to where we are today in this nation of USA and other nations.
195
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Yeah.
196
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,280
You talking about aborted babies.
197
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280
It's the same spirit.
198
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:46,280
The baby is not being put in the hands of a red hot iron, you know, idol to burn up.
199
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
But it's being torn limb from limb.
200
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,280
It's limb from limb in an abortion clinic.
201
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,280
Yeah.
202
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,280
And it's the same spirit.
203
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,280
And even the same administration we have has that spirit operating through them.
204
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280
And that's why it is so strong.
205
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,280
You know, this may sound like strong words, but this is things happen today.
206
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280
You can go back into the Old Testament and you can find what God says about it.
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,280
Right.
208
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Because he's the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.
209
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,280
And what he gives, what he says goes.
210
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Absolutely.
211
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,280
He's the creator of it all.
212
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280
He's the leader of it all.
213
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,280
So this would be like some well-known leaders of our nation that are real prophetic and all that.
214
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Going to the leaders of our administration say, this is the word of the Lord.
215
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Da da da da da.
216
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,280
You know, so here you have you have Ahaz going before the prophet Isaiah,
217
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,280
which give a lot of prophetic things about Jesus that is coming to pass.
218
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,280
And so he's talking to him, you know, and he gives in these scriptures.
219
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280
And so he comes to Isaiah or Isaiah goes to him.
220
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280
He wouldn't go to Isaiah.
221
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,280
Yeah.
222
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,280
You don't want the prophet to come to your house because he's got something to tell you.
223
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,280
I can attest to that.
224
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:03,280
So anyway, in verse 11 of chapter seven of Isaiah, you know, he says on to Ahaz,
225
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:09,280
as see a sign of the Lord thy God, ask it either in the depth or in the height the room.
226
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280
But Ahaz says, I will not ask.
227
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Neither will I tempt the Lord.
228
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280
What can he ask?
229
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,280
What can he say?
230
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Yeah, because he's he's been behaving so badly.
231
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Yeah, he's a rank heathen.
232
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:30,280
So anyway, you know, Isaiah has given them, you know, this word that these two firebrands that God's going to take care of it.
233
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:39,280
And then in verse 13, and he said, Here you know, how said David, it is a small thing for you to worry men, but will you worry my God also?
234
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign.
235
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bury son and shall call his name Emmanuel.
236
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,280
And this came to pass that the two firebrands did not take over Jerusalem.
237
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,280
Right.
238
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,280
And seven hundred and fifty two years later, Massamanos, a little bit.
239
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,280
This prophetic word happens to Mary.
240
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:12,280
The angel visits Mary and gives her this word, you know, that you are going to conceive and the Holy Spirit's going to come upon you.
241
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
What happened for those of you that received the Holy Spirit?
242
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280
What happened when he came down on you?
243
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,280
It changed your life, didn't it?
244
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Absolutely.
245
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,280
It changed Mary's life and it changed Joseph's life.
246
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,280
Because here is Mary pregnant with child and it's not him.
247
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280
You know, back then you would be stoned.
248
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Yeah, that was the matter.
249
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:40,280
You know, if a woman committed adultery, she was stoned because it says in Luke, you know, he thought maybe I need to put Mary away.
250
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,280
I need to hide her, you know, because now they're going to be taxed and there's no way to hide that.
251
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Right.
252
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,280
And you have to go to be taxed because that's an order of Caesar that has to be done.
253
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,280
That is where that scripture comes from.
254
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280
That's amazing context.
255
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,280
It's really amazing context when you look at the background of all that.
256
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,280
Wow, wow.
257
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:09,280
So let me just interject here that when prophecy comes to us, we have a tendency to think that it's immediate.
258
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
We have an expectation that's immediate.
259
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,280
And if it doesn't happen within a year, it's not God.
260
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Yeah. And the thing about prophecy and that's that's what we're going to show in this podcast is that prophecies were given.
261
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:36,280
And in the context, in their circumstances, they may have seen it being fulfilled in a temporary way or in a smaller way, because Isaiah went to a virgin and got her pregnant.
262
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:47,280
And he was thinking that it was his responsibility to bring this to pass, because if you go and read the next verse after that or verses after that, you know, it's talking about what's going to happen to this child.
263
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,280
And before the child is able to say whatever it is that this is going to come to pass.
264
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280
So there was a temporary version of it.
265
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:05,280
And yet we see here's a bigger picture when Jesus is conceived in Mary's womb.
266
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,280
So prophecy can have more than one fulfillment.
267
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:17,280
And so we need to not be so quick about deciding what the prophecy means because many times it repeats itself.
268
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,280
It'll repeat itself and it'll get bigger every time.
269
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Yeah. So at this time, you know, Israel goes into captivity after this happens down the road in the book of Jeremiah.
270
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:35,280
We'll be reading that. So go another seven hundred and fifty years forward when this prophecy is fulfilled.
271
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Jesus is born. Who's in control? Rome. Right. And what is Rome?
272
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,280
I mean, you didn't see that in Israel because they ruled with an iron thumb.
273
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,280
But at Rome itself, it was a debauched society. Absolutely homosexuality.
274
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Yeah, it was you just couldn't believe. And and so that's what was in control.
275
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Yeah. And you would have thought really, you would have thought when Israel came back into the land
276
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:09,280
and at some point, Alexander the Great shows up with his armies and, you know, when Alexander the Great died,
277
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:16,280
it was divided among his generals. And fast forward and you get this awful Antiochus epiphanies.
278
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,280
And he's doing these horrible things and sacrifices a pig in the in the temple.
279
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,280
And then the Maccabees rose up and they cleared the Greeks out of there.
280
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,280
You would think that maybe when everything's going so well,
281
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:39,280
that that would be the fulfillment of when God's going to send his Messiah, because here we've got everything.
282
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,280
The Jewish people are back in sovereignty in the land and all is well.
283
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,280
And you would think maybe that's when it would come to pass, but it didn't.
284
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Because even when Jesus was born, it was a type of a one world government.
285
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Exactly. Rome ruled an awful lot of territory.
286
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,280
The known world, basically.
287
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,280
The known world, basically. And so what do we have today?
288
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:11,280
We have administration that is presently in and many around the world, these leaders in high places.
289
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,280
Globalists. Globalists want a one world government.
290
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,280
See, it's the same spirit. Yes, it's the same spirit, just has different names.
291
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,280
And that's where we are today. Yeah.
292
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:32,280
So to go back to where we were when this promise was given and Israel is it's being prophesied by Isaiah.
293
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280
It's being prophesied by Jeremiah.
294
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,280
It's being prophesied by other minor prophets that Israel is going to go into captivity for 70 years.
295
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:46,280
I mean, it was Jeremiah that gave the 70 years picture, but the others were just saying you're going into captivity
296
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,280
because that's what the word of God promised under Moses,
297
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:59,280
that if you don't keep this instruction that I've given you from Mount Sinai, if you don't keep this, you can't stay in the land.
298
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Because the land was promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their descendants.
299
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,280
But it was based on keeping their relationship hot with God. Well, they didn't.
300
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,280
And they started idolatry.
301
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:22,280
So but it's interesting to me how we so often use Jeremiah 29, 11 as a word for us personally.
302
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,280
And it works that way. Don't don't think that I'm saying it doesn't.
303
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:33,280
But Jeremiah 29, 11 from the New Living Translation, for I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.
304
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,280
They are plans for good and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope.
305
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:43,280
But if you take that in context, they're getting ready to be deported.
306
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,280
They're getting ready to be deported to Babylon, and they're going to stay for 70 years.
307
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,280
And Jeremiah is saying, just go and start a new life.
308
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,280
You're going to be there for 70 years. Make it good.
309
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:06,280
You know, do all the things that you should do and live there and live for the blessing of the place where you're living.
310
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Because I'm going to bless you there. I have good plans for you.
311
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:16,280
This isn't for your disaster. Even though the circumstances are saying, this is awful.
312
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,280
You know, being sent out of your your land, being sent out of your inheritance for 70 years.
313
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:28,280
A lot of folks aren't going to make it back. It's only the young ones who come back as old men.
314
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:35,280
You know, the babies, the teenagers might come back as old men and women when they came back from.
315
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,280
Some of them cried. They saw the destruction. Yeah.
316
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,280
How bad it was. Yeah. And they're like teenagers. Yeah.
317
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:50,280
And even when the first temple was rebuilt, the ones that remembered how great Solomon's Temple was, they're crying like,
318
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,280
this is what it was. Yeah. This is a promise. Right.
319
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Here's this prophecy. I have plans for good for you.
320
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:05,280
I had to give you a future and a hope. And if you go on in Jeremiah 30 and 31, 32, 33,
321
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,280
there's promise after promise after promise of what God is going to do.
322
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Even when Israel comes back to the land, he says, I'm not ever going to push you out again.
323
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,280
Now, they did come back and they got pushed out again. Yeah.
324
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,280
But the promise. Because they sinned. Exactly.
325
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Broke all the commandments. They broke all the commandments.
326
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,280
And even the Pharisees were trying really hard to keep all the commandments and being the law police,
327
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,280
but they weren't doing it from their hearts. It was just from lip service, you know.
328
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,280
And they didn't recognize Jesus. That's true. That's true. They didn't.
329
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:50,280
But read Romans 11, God used that blindness that was over them to allow the word to go to the Gentiles
330
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:56,280
and to all the earth. But now we're in the season since the 1860s or so,
331
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:02,280
where the children of Israel are coming back, have been coming back for over a hundred years now.
332
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:09,280
And they are having the actual manifestation of all of these promises,
333
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,280
where they're planting vineyards and they're living on the land and God is blessing them.
334
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:23,280
And they're doing all of these things. This is a fulfillment that is over 2000 years since the prophecy was given.
335
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,280
Yeah, I remember one of the scriptures where the land shall be filled with fruit.
336
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:35,280
The world will be from Israel. And I remember our founder, Sister Gwen Shaw, she was in, I forget what...
337
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,280
She was in Hong Kong.
338
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,280
Hong Kong, looking at oranges and the sign said Jaffa orange. They came from Israel.
339
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:49,280
And God blessed Israel with the climate that the oranges there would be ripe before anywhere else.
340
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,280
And so they always had the advantage of getting the first fruits.
341
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Yes. And I remember her talking about how she picked up that orange in her hand and she said,
342
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,280
this is fulfillment of prophecy.
343
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,280
And I'll give you a little idea, like an orange. This was my mom's story. My mom was born in 1918.
344
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Oh, yeah.
345
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:14,280
And in Indianapolis on Christmas morning, there would be one orange on the table.
346
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Yeah.
347
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:24,280
One orange and they would slice it. You know, so every one of the kids would get a slice because oranges were very, very expensive.
348
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:30,280
And back then there wasn't any real highways. You know, you didn't have nice interstates like we have today.
349
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,280
So that's how rare an orange was unless you were very wealthy or wealthy family.
350
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Yeah. And that's just a hundred years ago.
351
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Wow. And so now today Israel can have four crops a year.
352
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Right.
353
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,280
A lot of things.
354
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,280
Right.
355
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
God has blessed them. All this prophetic words have all come to pass.
356
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Right.
357
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,280
So how does that relate to us then?
358
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,280
So how it relates to us as I see it is here we have this promise in Joel 2.28.
359
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Yes.
360
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:02,280
That I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
361
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams.
362
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,280
And on my servants and on my handmaidens will I pour out of my spirit and they shall prophesy.
363
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,280
And you've got this promise.
364
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:21,280
And on the day of Pentecost, when Jesus disciples were celebrating Pentecost, now they'd been celebrating Pentecost ever since Mount Sinai.
365
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:27,280
It was an annual event that they were celebrating the coming of the fire on the mountain and the giving of the law.
366
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:35,280
Here you have an instance where, okay, here's the first fulfillment.
367
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Peter says, this is that that was spoken of by the prophet Joel.
368
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280
And he quotes it again.
369
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:47,280
But what they were seeing there was the seed form because there were Jewish people,
370
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Israelites that had been dispersed all around the nations and they came back to Jerusalem for this feast because they were commanded to.
371
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280
They came like they were told to.
372
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:08,280
And they came from all these different nations and they're listed in Acts chapter two from Cappadocia and Pontus and Phrygia and Pamphylia and all those places.
373
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:21,280
And they came and they heard the great and marvelous things that God has done in their own language as the disciples were speaking in tongues because the fire had come down on them.
374
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:29,280
And that was the beginning of the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31, 31 to 34.
375
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:43,280
I think it is Jesus just maybe 50 days before or so had instituted the Holy Communion where he said this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
376
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:52,280
And and you have all through the Old Testament, you have the principle of substitution where a sacrifice of an animal could substitute for your sins.
377
00:26:52,280 --> 00:27:01,280
So Jesus is presenting a cup of wine and he's saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
378
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:08,280
So you have grapes, the blood of grapes substituting for Jesus literal blood.
379
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:16,280
And he says, this is the cup of the new covenant with the new covenant is that thing in Jeremiah 31, verses 31 to 34.
380
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:24,280
We've talked about it before where God says, I'm going to write my word in your hearts and in your minds and you can know me.
381
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,280
You can know me. That is the beginning of this fulfillment.
382
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:35,280
And it went out into the nations with those people who were there as a seed of the nations.
383
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,280
And they carried it and they they brought the word with them wherever they went.
384
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:51,280
So it went out to the nations. But we're about to see an outpouring that is a harvest fulfillment like that was the first fruits version.
385
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,280
And we're about to see something that is so much greater.
386
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:05,280
And I we've mentioned this prophecy before, but I think it bears mentioning again the the words that Arthur Burt heard.
387
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:12,280
He didn't give it, but he heard it back in a 1933, 34, 35, 36, somewhere in there.
388
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,280
And he carried around in his pocket for decades.
389
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,280
And it goes something like this. You know what?
390
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,280
I'm going to bring it up so that I quote it exactly.
391
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:33,280
It shall come as a breath and the breath shall bring the wind and the wind shall bring the rain and there shall be floods and floods and floods
392
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,280
and torrents and torrents and torrents.
393
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Souls shall be saved like falling leaves from mighty oaks swept by a hurricane.
394
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,280
Arms and legs will come down from heaven and there shall be no ebb.
395
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:59,280
No ebb. In other words, you know, when the waves come in, waves of revival come in, they'll last for weeks, months, a few years maybe.
396
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,280
And then the the wave goes back out just like the tide.
397
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280
The tide comes in and then it ebbs back out.
398
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:16,280
But this one, this move, this outpouring on all flesh, this prophesied that there shall be no ebb.
399
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,280
It's like the spirit of God is going to be poured out so strong.
400
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:28,280
And Paul says in Philippians 3 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection.
401
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280
So what happened when Jesus was resurrected?
402
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,280
All these people that were dead in the graves came to life.
403
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Yeah. I mean, wow.
404
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,280
Yeah. The power that raised him from the dead was enough to raise them from the dead as well.
405
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Wow. Wow. Yeah.
406
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,280
So it's going to quicken your mortal bodies.
407
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Yes. Yes.
408
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,280
By his spirit that dwells within you.
409
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,280
Wow. Hallelujah.
410
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,280
So no matter what the circumstances look like, no matter what the circumstances look like,
411
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,280
we can count on the promises of God.
412
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:04,280
We can have an expectation that he is going to fulfill everything that he promised.
413
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,280
And it doesn't matter what the circumstances look like.
414
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Jesus came when Rome was in control.
415
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:19,280
I mean, even Mary and Joseph themselves were put in a position where they had to obey this order from Caesar.
416
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:25,280
But it put them into Bethlehem where Jesus needed to be born because he's the bread of life.
417
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,280
And he's a descendant of David.
418
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,280
And he needed to be born in the place where David was born.
419
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,280
He needed to be born in the house of bread, Bethlehem.
420
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,280
He needed to be born there to fulfill prophecy.
421
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:45,280
So many prophecies about him that were fulfilled one by one by one by one.
422
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,280
And he still has yet some things to fulfill.
423
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,280
And he's in the process of doing it now, just like the coming of Israel back into the land
424
00:30:53,280 --> 00:31:01,280
and becoming a nation once again, just what is it, 75, 76 years ago, almost 76 now.
425
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,280
They've become a nation again.
426
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,280
And this is the one that God says, I will bring you back even as I've scattered you in the nation.
427
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,280
See, he didn't scatter them when they went to Babylon.
428
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,280
They just went to one place.
429
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
They weren't scattered into the nations at that point.
430
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,280
But when they were scattered by Rome, they were scattered into the nations.
431
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:26,280
But it took nearly 2000 years for that prophecy to begin to be fulfilled.
432
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,280
But we're living in the day of fulfillment of prophecy.
433
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,280
Amen.
434
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,280
Hallelujah.
435
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,280
So you can expect, you can trust God.
436
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,280
His promises are absolute.
437
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,280
And it doesn't matter how the circumstances appear.
438
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,280
If God has given you a word, hang on to it.
439
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,280
Trust him.
440
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:49,280
He is absolutely the one you can trust and put your confidence in because he loves you.
441
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Specifically, you yourself.
442
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,280
Even if there were nobody else on the planet, he has his eye on you.
443
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,280
He loves you and he's going to fulfill everything he's promised.
444
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,280
Amen.
445
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,280
Father, I just pray for all our listeners listening that, Lord, this is an encouragement to them.
446
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Even prophetic words, some had they haven't seen them come to pass yet, oh God.
447
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,280
But Lord, it awaits the right timing.
448
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Yes.
449
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Because, Lord, your timing is everything.
450
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,280
It's when we try to hurry things up that sometimes we get off on the wrong track.
451
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:29,280
So we thank you, Lord, while this Christmas season, Lord, even this time when Israel celebrates Hanukkah.
452
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,280
And, Lord, we celebrate, Lord, you because you are the light of the world.
453
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Yes.
454
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,280
So we thank you, Father, that your word is yes and amen.
455
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:45,280
And everything spoken concerning you thousands of years ago come into pass, still come into pass.
456
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,280
And there's more to come.
457
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,280
Amen.
458
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,280
But the great outpouring is coming.
459
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,280
Hallelujah.
460
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,280
Amen.
461
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Amen.

God bless you with this overwhelming, loving presence.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800
When prophecy comes to us, we have a tendency to think that it's immediate.
2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:07,440
We have an expectation that's immediate.
3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,920
And if it doesn't happen within a year, it's not God.
4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Yeah. And the thing about prophecy is that prophecy can have more than one fulfillment.
5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,520
Yes.
6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,960
And so we need to not be so quick about deciding what the prophecy means.
7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,720
Because many times it repeats itself.
8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:35,600
It'll repeat itself and it'll get bigger every time.
9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,400
God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out a spirit on all humanity.
10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promise outpouring,
11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,040
we equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,240
I'm Philip Bus.
13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,040
And I'm Sharon Bus. Welcome to the podcast today.
14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,040
We are so glad that you're with us.
15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:03,360

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:09,040
because you can know that you know that you know that the promises of God are absolute,
17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,080
no matter how circumstances appear.
18
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,320
Thank you so much for joining us today.

00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,840

Also, before we get started, we want to make sure that you are aware about our convention 2025
30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,720
that's coming up over Memorial Day weekend, the Wednesday through Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,320
It's going to be a glory time in St. Louis, Missouri at the St. Louis Airport Marriott.
32
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,560
We know for sure that we have Tony Kemp is going to be speaking for us and also Dean Braxton.
33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,440
I'll be one of the speakers and we've got a few more.
34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720
So we're just wanting to make sure that you're going to be there.
35
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,640
It will be a family camp.
36
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,000
There's something for every age group and it's going to be anointed and life changing.
37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,400
We're going to have glorious worship and deep word things that'll be life changing for you.
38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,800
Intercession off the charts and a call to the nations.
39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,800
If you have any kind of a call to the nations, if you're an intercessor,
40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,000
these are areas that in particular you're going to find people of like precious faith.
41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,600
You're going to find your tribe.
42
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
It's going to be a glory, glory time.
43
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
So we want to make sure that you're planning to be with us.
44
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,360
There's a link on our website on the events page where you can go there and make a reservation
45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,400
at the hotel and just plan to be with us and bring somebody with you.
46
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,560
And while we're at it, bring somebody into this podcast with you.
47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,320
If you have friends that love the deep things of God and they have a vision for what God wants to
48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,880
do in the earth in these days that are to come, it's greater than revival.
49
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,400
It's outpouring.
50
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400
It's greater even than reformation.
51
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,280
It's outpouring where the Holy Spirit is going to change lives.
52
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,360
So we want to encourage you to participate with us and bring people along,
53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080
especially if you're listening on Apple podcasts.
54
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960
If you would put a review, give us a five-star review.
55
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Those things help to promote the podcast and get other people interested in it.
56
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,680
It will really make a difference for us.
57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,720
And if you want to help us, you know, we don't have anybody sponsoring this podcast.
58
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
I kind of don't even like the idea of having sponsors where you have to say,
59
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,800
this episode is sponsored by and do an advertisement for people.
60
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,760
But we do need help to pay it forward.
61
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,440
We're just taking it out of our general fund to stand behind this and make these podcasts
62
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,320
available to you.
63
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,880
So if you are enjoying it, if you feel led by the Holy Spirit, we would encourage you to help us out
64
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,360
and encourage others.
65
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Just forward this on to somebody else that you know will be helped by it.
66
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,400
So Philip brought up a message in our devotions with our staff yesterday
67
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,840
that I just want to throw the ball to you, Philip, and you just run with it.
68
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,920
You know, this time of year, many of us, we listen to Handel's Messiah.
69
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Oh, yeah.
70
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,240
And it's all scripture.
71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:52,480
I love it.
72
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,640
And it's about, you know, the birth of Jesus and then the Hallelujah Chorus,
73
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,440
which everybody knows, even if they don't know anything else, they usually recognize
74
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,040
Hallelujah Chorus.
75
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,160
And there's one of the scriptures in there that is prophetic of Jesus,
76
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,720
but very, I'd say probably ninety nine point nine percent of believers would not know where
77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,480
it comes from or the circumstances have all been around it.
78
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,720
They might know that it comes from Isaiah, but they probably don't know the content.
79
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Yeah, they would know Isaiah, but they don't know what's going on around it.
80
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
And that is the scripture.
81
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,360
Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign.
82
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,360
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and call his name Emmanuel,
83
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,640
which when you listen to Hannah's Messiah, the interpretation is God with us.
84
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,400
That's what Emmanuel means.
85
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Why don't you just sing that that little clip?
86
00:05:46,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel,
87
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,800
God with us.
88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,720
There you have it with no effects on it, no computers, nothing.
89
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Just voice.
90
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,600
So I want to look a little into the history because this is about Mary,
91
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,280
who is going to birth Jesus and the story behind that.
92
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,120
It's in the first chapter of Luke.
93
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,720
And when she has this visitation of the angel and the angel says unto her,
94
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
95
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,320
And behold, you shall conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus
96
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,160
or Yeshua.
97
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160
Yes, that would be the Hebrew name.
98
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,160
And it means salvation.
99
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,480
He shall be great and shall be called the son of the highest and the Lord God shall give unto him
100
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,480
the throne of his father, David.
101
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,200
He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
102
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000
Then Mary said unto the angel, How can this be?
103
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
See, and I know not a man.
104
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
The angel answered and said to her,
105
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,560
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee.
106
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,200
Therefore also the holy that uses thing here, you know, is the scripture.
107
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,800
I didn't have time to look that up.
108
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:29,920
It's got a better meaning, but which shall be born of you shall be called the son of God.
109
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,560
Amen.
110
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,640
So this is the promise to Mary.
111
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:39,520
So we go back the circumstances where this all started to about 742 BC.
112
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:46,000
This is a long time ago, 750 years plus 2000 years there.
113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,760
So you're talking 2750 years ago.
114
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280
This word was given that a virgin shall conceive.
115
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,960
And the story is referring to the days of Ahaz, the king of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah.
116
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,160
And this is what's happening.
117
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,880
The resin, the king of Syria, Pekah, the king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it.
118
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,520
So the city is going to be besieged.
119
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,400
And you know, back then, when a city is besieged,
120
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,440
they encamp around it and you starve the people out of it.
121
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,720
Yeah, that's usually what happens.
122
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,880
That's a that's a really tough thing.
123
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,120
But the word of the Lord comes to Isaiah.
124
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,360
And he says unto him, I'm writing out of the King James here,
125
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Take heed to be quiet, fear not, neither be faint hearted for the two tails of the smoking fire
126
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,320
brands, for the fierce anger resin with Syria and the son of Remaliah.
127
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Because Syria Ephraim, the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against you, saying,
128
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,560
Let us go against Judah, vex it, and let us make a breach thereof for it,
129
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,680
said a king in the midst of it, even the son of Thabiel.
130
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,680
And thus says the Lord God, it shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
131
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:02,240
Amen.
132
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Hallelujah.
133
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,760
Now, tell you a little bit about this king.
134
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Was Ahaz a good guy?
135
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,960
He was not a good guy.
136
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,400
He was a wicked king.
137
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Yeah.
138
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,160
And so here you are, the prophet of God going to a wicked king.
139
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,240
So I'm going to go back to second Kings, chapter 16 and verse seven.
140
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,760
This is Ahaz.
141
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,880
And the 17th year, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah began to reign.
142
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,800
20 years old was Ahaz when he began to reign.
143
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680
Think of yourself as a 20 year old if you're older.
144
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,680
Do you think you are fit to rule a nation?
145
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,320
Uh huh.
146
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,880
You know?
147
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Sure is.
148
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,400
You got a lot of pressures, peer pressure, da da da da.
149
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:51,440
And he reigns 16 years in Jerusalem and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord
150
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,880
like David, his father.
151
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,160
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son pass through the fire.
152
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Oh my.
153
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,200
According to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
154
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,880
And what he is doing here is what they would do.
155
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,840
They would sacrifice their children.
156
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480
A lot of times the firstborn on the Moloch.
157
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,120
And this was a God of Ammon.
158
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,440
You know, this was a pagan practice.
159
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,680
Actually, I'll read the scripture here.
160
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:23,680
First Kings 11, 7.
161
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,080
Then did Solomon build, and this was the downfall of Solomon in his later years, which he did repent of.
162
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:42,320
Then did Solomon build a high place for Shimos, the abomination of Moab and the hill that is before Jerusalem and for Moloch, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
163
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Now what Moloch was, it would be like a big statue, a big idol.
164
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,320
And it had its hands would reach out.
165
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,320
And they had a big fire going in it.
166
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,320
So it would just get red hot and they would put a live baby in its hands and sacrifice it live.
167
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,320
That was the practice.
168
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,600
And different kings did this.
169
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,560
They would sacrifice their children under Moloch.
170
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,320
You know, this is an abomination.
171
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Sure it is.
172
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,320
You know, and all that.
173
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,320
And here it is in Jeremiah chapter 32, 35.
174
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:20,240
And they shall build the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnon to cause the abomination.
175
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:27,280
And they shall cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire on the Moloch, which I commanded them not.
176
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination to cause Judah to sin.
177
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,280
So you see adjoining here a Baal and Moloch.
178
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,280
And this same spirit is alive today.
179
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,280
I'll give you one more scripture.
180
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,280
The first time this is mentioned, you know, Moloch, this is in Leviticus chapter 1821.
181
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,280
And now shot, and this is what the Lord gave Moses to tell the children of Israel.
182
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280
And now shall not let any of the seed pass through the fire to Moloch.
183
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Amen.
184
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Neither shall thou profane the name of the Lord thy God.
185
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280
I am the Lord.
186
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,280
So that is the background of Moloch.
187
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280
And so this is the influence on King Ahas.
188
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Because, you know, he also because he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places on the hills.
189
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Under every green tree, every abomination in the book.
190
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,280
So here you have the administration of that day.
191
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,280
He's the head cheese.
192
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,280
You know, he's the king.
193
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,280
He's the head administration are into idol worship.
194
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,280
And this is parallel to where we are today in this nation of USA and other nations.
195
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Yeah.
196
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,280
You talking about aborted babies.
197
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280
It's the same spirit.
198
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:46,280
The baby is not being put in the hands of a red hot iron, you know, idol to burn up.
199
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
But it's being torn limb from limb.
200
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,280
It's limb from limb in an abortion clinic.
201
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,280
Yeah.
202
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,280
And it's the same spirit.
203
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,280
And even the same administration we have has that spirit operating through them.
204
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280
And that's why it is so strong.
205
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,280
You know, this may sound like strong words, but this is things happen today.
206
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280
You can go back into the Old Testament and you can find what God says about it.
207
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,280
Right.
208
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Because he's the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.
209
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,280
And what he gives, what he says goes.
210
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Absolutely.
211
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,280
He's the creator of it all.
212
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280
He's the leader of it all.
213
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,280
So this would be like some well-known leaders of our nation that are real prophetic and all that.
214
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Going to the leaders of our administration say, this is the word of the Lord.
215
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Da da da da da.
216
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,280
You know, so here you have you have Ahaz going before the prophet Isaiah,
217
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,280
which give a lot of prophetic things about Jesus that is coming to pass.
218
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,280
And so he's talking to him, you know, and he gives in these scriptures.
219
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280
And so he comes to Isaiah or Isaiah goes to him.
220
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280
He wouldn't go to Isaiah.
221
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,280
Yeah.
222
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,280
You don't want the prophet to come to your house because he's got something to tell you.
223
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,280
I can attest to that.
224
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:03,280
So anyway, in verse 11 of chapter seven of Isaiah, you know, he says on to Ahaz,
225
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:09,280
as see a sign of the Lord thy God, ask it either in the depth or in the height the room.
226
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280
But Ahaz says, I will not ask.
227
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Neither will I tempt the Lord.
228
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280
What can he ask?
229
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,280
What can he say?
230
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,280
Yeah, because he's he's been behaving so badly.
231
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,280
Yeah, he's a rank heathen.
232
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:30,280
So anyway, you know, Isaiah has given them, you know, this word that these two firebrands that God's going to take care of it.
233
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:39,280
And then in verse 13, and he said, Here you know, how said David, it is a small thing for you to worry men, but will you worry my God also?
234
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign.
235
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bury son and shall call his name Emmanuel.
236
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:54,280
And this came to pass that the two firebrands did not take over Jerusalem.
237
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,280
Right.
238
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,280
And seven hundred and fifty two years later, Massamanos, a little bit.
239
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,280
This prophetic word happens to Mary.
240
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:12,280
The angel visits Mary and gives her this word, you know, that you are going to conceive and the Holy Spirit's going to come upon you.
241
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
What happened for those of you that received the Holy Spirit?
242
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280
What happened when he came down on you?
243
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,280
It changed your life, didn't it?
244
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Absolutely.
245
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,280
It changed Mary's life and it changed Joseph's life.
246
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,280
Because here is Mary pregnant with child and it's not him.
247
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280
You know, back then you would be stoned.
248
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Yeah, that was the matter.
249
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:40,280
You know, if a woman committed adultery, she was stoned because it says in Luke, you know, he thought maybe I need to put Mary away.
250
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,280
I need to hide her, you know, because now they're going to be taxed and there's no way to hide that.
251
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Right.
252
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,280
And you have to go to be taxed because that's an order of Caesar that has to be done.
253
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,280
That is where that scripture comes from.
254
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280
That's amazing context.
255
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,280
It's really amazing context when you look at the background of all that.
256
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,280
Wow, wow.
257
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:09,280
So let me just interject here that when prophecy comes to us, we have a tendency to think that it's immediate.
258
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
We have an expectation that's immediate.
259
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,280
And if it doesn't happen within a year, it's not God.
260
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Yeah. And the thing about prophecy and that's that's what we're going to show in this podcast is that prophecies were given.
261
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:36,280
And in the context, in their circumstances, they may have seen it being fulfilled in a temporary way or in a smaller way, because Isaiah went to a virgin and got her pregnant.
262
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:47,280
And he was thinking that it was his responsibility to bring this to pass, because if you go and read the next verse after that or verses after that, you know, it's talking about what's going to happen to this child.
263
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,280
And before the child is able to say whatever it is that this is going to come to pass.
264
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280
So there was a temporary version of it.
265
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:05,280
And yet we see here's a bigger picture when Jesus is conceived in Mary's womb.
266
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,280
So prophecy can have more than one fulfillment.
267
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:17,280
And so we need to not be so quick about deciding what the prophecy means because many times it repeats itself.
268
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,280
It'll repeat itself and it'll get bigger every time.
269
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Yeah. So at this time, you know, Israel goes into captivity after this happens down the road in the book of Jeremiah.
270
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:35,280
We'll be reading that. So go another seven hundred and fifty years forward when this prophecy is fulfilled.
271
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Jesus is born. Who's in control? Rome. Right. And what is Rome?
272
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,280
I mean, you didn't see that in Israel because they ruled with an iron thumb.
273
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,280
But at Rome itself, it was a debauched society. Absolutely homosexuality.
274
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Yeah, it was you just couldn't believe. And and so that's what was in control.
275
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Yeah. And you would have thought really, you would have thought when Israel came back into the land
276
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:09,280
and at some point, Alexander the Great shows up with his armies and, you know, when Alexander the Great died,
277
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:16,280
it was divided among his generals. And fast forward and you get this awful Antiochus epiphanies.
278
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,280
And he's doing these horrible things and sacrifices a pig in the in the temple.
279
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:27,280
And then the Maccabees rose up and they cleared the Greeks out of there.
280
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,280
You would think that maybe when everything's going so well,
281
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:39,280
that that would be the fulfillment of when God's going to send his Messiah, because here we've got everything.
282
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,280
The Jewish people are back in sovereignty in the land and all is well.
283
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,280
And you would think maybe that's when it would come to pass, but it didn't.
284
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Because even when Jesus was born, it was a type of a one world government.
285
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Exactly. Rome ruled an awful lot of territory.
286
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,280
The known world, basically.
287
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,280
The known world, basically. And so what do we have today?
288
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:11,280
We have administration that is presently in and many around the world, these leaders in high places.
289
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,280
Globalists. Globalists want a one world government.
290
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,280
See, it's the same spirit. Yes, it's the same spirit, just has different names.
291
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,280
And that's where we are today. Yeah.
292
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:32,280
So to go back to where we were when this promise was given and Israel is it's being prophesied by Isaiah.
293
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280
It's being prophesied by Jeremiah.
294
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,280
It's being prophesied by other minor prophets that Israel is going to go into captivity for 70 years.
295
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:46,280
I mean, it was Jeremiah that gave the 70 years picture, but the others were just saying you're going into captivity
296
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,280
because that's what the word of God promised under Moses,
297
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:59,280
that if you don't keep this instruction that I've given you from Mount Sinai, if you don't keep this, you can't stay in the land.
298
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Because the land was promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their descendants.
299
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,280
But it was based on keeping their relationship hot with God. Well, they didn't.
300
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,280
And they started idolatry.
301
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:22,280
So but it's interesting to me how we so often use Jeremiah 29, 11 as a word for us personally.
302
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,280
And it works that way. Don't don't think that I'm saying it doesn't.
303
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:33,280
But Jeremiah 29, 11 from the New Living Translation, for I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord.
304
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,280
They are plans for good and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope.
305
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:43,280
But if you take that in context, they're getting ready to be deported.
306
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,280
They're getting ready to be deported to Babylon, and they're going to stay for 70 years.
307
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,280
And Jeremiah is saying, just go and start a new life.
308
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,280
You're going to be there for 70 years. Make it good.
309
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:06,280
You know, do all the things that you should do and live there and live for the blessing of the place where you're living.
310
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Because I'm going to bless you there. I have good plans for you.
311
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:16,280
This isn't for your disaster. Even though the circumstances are saying, this is awful.
312
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,280
You know, being sent out of your your land, being sent out of your inheritance for 70 years.
313
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:28,280
A lot of folks aren't going to make it back. It's only the young ones who come back as old men.
314
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:35,280
You know, the babies, the teenagers might come back as old men and women when they came back from.
315
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,280
Some of them cried. They saw the destruction. Yeah.
316
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,280
How bad it was. Yeah. And they're like teenagers. Yeah.
317
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:50,280
And even when the first temple was rebuilt, the ones that remembered how great Solomon's Temple was, they're crying like,
318
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,280
this is what it was. Yeah. This is a promise. Right.
319
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Here's this prophecy. I have plans for good for you.
320
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:05,280
I had to give you a future and a hope. And if you go on in Jeremiah 30 and 31, 32, 33,
321
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,280
there's promise after promise after promise of what God is going to do.
322
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Even when Israel comes back to the land, he says, I'm not ever going to push you out again.
323
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,280
Now, they did come back and they got pushed out again. Yeah.
324
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,280
But the promise. Because they sinned. Exactly.
325
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,280
Broke all the commandments. They broke all the commandments.
326
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,280
And even the Pharisees were trying really hard to keep all the commandments and being the law police,
327
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,280
but they weren't doing it from their hearts. It was just from lip service, you know.
328
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,280
And they didn't recognize Jesus. That's true. That's true. They didn't.
329
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:50,280
But read Romans 11, God used that blindness that was over them to allow the word to go to the Gentiles
330
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:56,280
and to all the earth. But now we're in the season since the 1860s or so,
331
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:02,280
where the children of Israel are coming back, have been coming back for over a hundred years now.
332
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:09,280
And they are having the actual manifestation of all of these promises,
333
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,280
where they're planting vineyards and they're living on the land and God is blessing them.
334
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:23,280
And they're doing all of these things. This is a fulfillment that is over 2000 years since the prophecy was given.
335
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,280
Yeah, I remember one of the scriptures where the land shall be filled with fruit.
336
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:35,280
The world will be from Israel. And I remember our founder, Sister Gwen Shaw, she was in, I forget what...
337
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,280
She was in Hong Kong.
338
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:42,280
Hong Kong, looking at oranges and the sign said Jaffa orange. They came from Israel.
339
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:49,280
And God blessed Israel with the climate that the oranges there would be ripe before anywhere else.
340
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,280
And so they always had the advantage of getting the first fruits.
341
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Yes. And I remember her talking about how she picked up that orange in her hand and she said,
342
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,280
this is fulfillment of prophecy.
343
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:07,280
And I'll give you a little idea, like an orange. This was my mom's story. My mom was born in 1918.
344
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,280
Oh, yeah.
345
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:14,280
And in Indianapolis on Christmas morning, there would be one orange on the table.
346
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Yeah.
347
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:24,280
One orange and they would slice it. You know, so every one of the kids would get a slice because oranges were very, very expensive.
348
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:30,280
And back then there wasn't any real highways. You know, you didn't have nice interstates like we have today.
349
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,280
So that's how rare an orange was unless you were very wealthy or wealthy family.
350
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,280
Yeah. And that's just a hundred years ago.
351
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,280
Wow. And so now today Israel can have four crops a year.
352
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Right.
353
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,280
A lot of things.
354
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,280
Right.
355
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280
God has blessed them. All this prophetic words have all come to pass.
356
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Right.
357
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,280
So how does that relate to us then?
358
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,280
So how it relates to us as I see it is here we have this promise in Joel 2.28.
359
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Yes.
360
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:02,280
That I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.
361
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams.
362
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,280
And on my servants and on my handmaidens will I pour out of my spirit and they shall prophesy.
363
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,280
And you've got this promise.
364
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:21,280
And on the day of Pentecost, when Jesus disciples were celebrating Pentecost, now they'd been celebrating Pentecost ever since Mount Sinai.
365
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:27,280
It was an annual event that they were celebrating the coming of the fire on the mountain and the giving of the law.
366
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:35,280
Here you have an instance where, okay, here's the first fulfillment.
367
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Peter says, this is that that was spoken of by the prophet Joel.
368
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280
And he quotes it again.
369
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:47,280
But what they were seeing there was the seed form because there were Jewish people,
370
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Israelites that had been dispersed all around the nations and they came back to Jerusalem for this feast because they were commanded to.
371
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280
They came like they were told to.
372
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:08,280
And they came from all these different nations and they're listed in Acts chapter two from Cappadocia and Pontus and Phrygia and Pamphylia and all those places.
373
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:21,280
And they came and they heard the great and marvelous things that God has done in their own language as the disciples were speaking in tongues because the fire had come down on them.
374
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:29,280
And that was the beginning of the fulfillment of Jeremiah 31, 31 to 34.
375
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:43,280
I think it is Jesus just maybe 50 days before or so had instituted the Holy Communion where he said this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
376
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:52,280
And and you have all through the Old Testament, you have the principle of substitution where a sacrifice of an animal could substitute for your sins.
377
00:26:52,280 --> 00:27:01,280
So Jesus is presenting a cup of wine and he's saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood.
378
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:08,280
So you have grapes, the blood of grapes substituting for Jesus literal blood.
379
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:16,280
And he says, this is the cup of the new covenant with the new covenant is that thing in Jeremiah 31, verses 31 to 34.
380
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:24,280
We've talked about it before where God says, I'm going to write my word in your hearts and in your minds and you can know me.
381
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,280
You can know me. That is the beginning of this fulfillment.
382
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:35,280
And it went out into the nations with those people who were there as a seed of the nations.
383
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,280
And they carried it and they they brought the word with them wherever they went.
384
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:51,280
So it went out to the nations. But we're about to see an outpouring that is a harvest fulfillment like that was the first fruits version.
385
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,280
And we're about to see something that is so much greater.
386
00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:05,280
And I we've mentioned this prophecy before, but I think it bears mentioning again the the words that Arthur Burt heard.
387
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:12,280
He didn't give it, but he heard it back in a 1933, 34, 35, 36, somewhere in there.
388
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,280
And he carried around in his pocket for decades.
389
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,280
And it goes something like this. You know what?
390
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,280
I'm going to bring it up so that I quote it exactly.
391
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:33,280
It shall come as a breath and the breath shall bring the wind and the wind shall bring the rain and there shall be floods and floods and floods
392
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,280
and torrents and torrents and torrents.
393
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,280
Souls shall be saved like falling leaves from mighty oaks swept by a hurricane.
394
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,280
Arms and legs will come down from heaven and there shall be no ebb.
395
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:59,280
No ebb. In other words, you know, when the waves come in, waves of revival come in, they'll last for weeks, months, a few years maybe.
396
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,280
And then the the wave goes back out just like the tide.
397
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,280
The tide comes in and then it ebbs back out.
398
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:16,280
But this one, this move, this outpouring on all flesh, this prophesied that there shall be no ebb.
399
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:21,280
It's like the spirit of God is going to be poured out so strong.
400
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:28,280
And Paul says in Philippians 3 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection.
401
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280
So what happened when Jesus was resurrected?
402
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,280
All these people that were dead in the graves came to life.
403
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Yeah. I mean, wow.
404
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,280
Yeah. The power that raised him from the dead was enough to raise them from the dead as well.
405
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Wow. Wow. Yeah.
406
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,280
So it's going to quicken your mortal bodies.
407
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Yes. Yes.
408
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,280
By his spirit that dwells within you.
409
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,280
Wow. Hallelujah.
410
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,280
So no matter what the circumstances look like, no matter what the circumstances look like,
411
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,280
we can count on the promises of God.
412
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:04,280
We can have an expectation that he is going to fulfill everything that he promised.
413
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,280
And it doesn't matter what the circumstances look like.
414
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Jesus came when Rome was in control.
415
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:19,280
I mean, even Mary and Joseph themselves were put in a position where they had to obey this order from Caesar.
416
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:25,280
But it put them into Bethlehem where Jesus needed to be born because he's the bread of life.
417
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,280
And he's a descendant of David.
418
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,280
And he needed to be born in the place where David was born.
419
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,280
He needed to be born in the house of bread, Bethlehem.
420
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,280
He needed to be born there to fulfill prophecy.
421
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:45,280
So many prophecies about him that were fulfilled one by one by one by one.
422
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,280
And he still has yet some things to fulfill.
423
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,280
And he's in the process of doing it now, just like the coming of Israel back into the land
424
00:30:53,280 --> 00:31:01,280
and becoming a nation once again, just what is it, 75, 76 years ago, almost 76 now.
425
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,280
They've become a nation again.
426
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,280
And this is the one that God says, I will bring you back even as I've scattered you in the nation.
427
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,280
See, he didn't scatter them when they went to Babylon.
428
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,280
They just went to one place.
429
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,280
They weren't scattered into the nations at that point.
430
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,280
But when they were scattered by Rome, they were scattered into the nations.
431
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:26,280
But it took nearly 2000 years for that prophecy to begin to be fulfilled.
432
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,280
But we're living in the day of fulfillment of prophecy.
433
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,280
Amen.
434
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,280
Hallelujah.
435
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,280
So you can expect, you can trust God.
436
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,280
His promises are absolute.
437
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,280
And it doesn't matter how the circumstances appear.
438
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,280
If God has given you a word, hang on to it.
439
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,280
Trust him.
440
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:49,280
He is absolutely the one you can trust and put your confidence in because he loves you.
441
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Specifically, you yourself.
442
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,280
Even if there were nobody else on the planet, he has his eye on you.
443
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,280
He loves you and he's going to fulfill everything he's promised.
444
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,280
Amen.
445
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,280
Father, I just pray for all our listeners listening that, Lord, this is an encouragement to them.
446
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Even prophetic words, some had they haven't seen them come to pass yet, oh God.
447
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,280
But Lord, it awaits the right timing.
448
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Yes.
449
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,280
Because, Lord, your timing is everything.
450
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,280
It's when we try to hurry things up that sometimes we get off on the wrong track.
451
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:29,280
So we thank you, Lord, while this Christmas season, Lord, even this time when Israel celebrates Hanukkah.
452
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,280
And, Lord, we celebrate, Lord, you because you are the light of the world.
453
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Yes.
454
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,280
So we thank you, Father, that your word is yes and amen.
455
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:45,280
And everything spoken concerning you thousands of years ago come into pass, still come into pass.
456
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,280
And there's more to come.
457
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,280
Amen.
458
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,280
But the great outpouring is coming.
459
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,280
Hallelujah.
460
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,280
Amen.
461
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Amen.
