[00:00] why don't you give a knockout a little space you don't need to give me no spaces it's [00:07] okay baby sabbath peace [00:20] bigger than mine it's another opportunity for us to hear and learn that a word of truth that is given to us [00:26] by the most high god all honor goes to the father through the son whose name is yahushua [00:31] in him lies the only hope for salvation we know that it is obtained by grace through faith not of worship anyone [00:37] should boast and give him freely as a gift to all who obey him we understand that if you do not obey him and is made manifest [00:44] they're made obvious that you do not believe in this state we should expect no good thing from the most high however [00:51] anything that we do get whether it be a gift of tongues a gift of prophecy or any supernatural experience that we may [00:57] have it can and it will be used against us in the day of judgment with that said peace to the saints that [01:04] are in the room to the saints that couldn't make it but no peace to the wicked the only thing we say to them is repent [01:11] that they might live [01:16] max what where are we starting at today give me a book just a book any book give me a book [01:24] email around say dr seuss doctors say what's wrong with dr sue [01:31] zarah give me a book chapter 17. that's a chapter [01:40] who got a book for you got a book for me just pick a book book in the bible go which one you know go anyone it don't [01:45] matter go come on anyone you on the spot now you're on camera too [01:51] there's like three cameras in here and you own one of them right now [01:56] [Music] there you go that's an easy one look [02:01] genesis chapter 17 what verse give me a number any number all right [02:07] genesis chapter 17 verse 15. it's a good one too uh the promise order oh wow that was a [02:13] good one too he just hit it too oh no i'm thinking to genesis chapter 15 verse 17. uh [02:18] i think 17 the promise too though yeah then 17 that's the second problem [02:24] it's genesis chapter 17 verse 15. what watches the book say [02:30] and god said under you know the good thing is no matter where we go whole word talking about yahushua it [02:36] only matter it kind of matter but it don't matter and god said unto abraham is for sarah [02:42] thy wife you shall not call her name sarai but sarah shall be her name he changed her name [02:47] and i will bless her and give thee a son also of her yay i will bless her and she shall be a mother of nations okay kings [02:54] of people shall be of her okay then abraham fell upon his face and laughed and said in his heart shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred [03:00] years old okay and shall sarah that is 90 years old bear and abraham said unto god o that ishmael [03:07] might live before thee and god said sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed [03:13] and you shall call his name isaac and i will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant [03:18] and with his seed after him and with his what seed after him and with his what seed after him and with his seed [03:25] after him this is how the whole thing play out right the most high god give a promise [03:31] to abraham all right then you tell them okay well you know i'm saying i'm gonna promise you that [03:36] your kid and his seed after him is gonna carry my promise right they're gonna they're gonna rule they're gonna rule my [03:42] people right right so abraham died thinking that his son and the seed after him are going to do [03:48] it but guess what the seed after him get passed down and then it gets passed down again and the path down again [03:53] because the whole time you know what the most high god looking for who is the man that's going to live up to this promise [03:59] who is the man that's going to actually come here live obey according to what the words [04:04] say and live up to the promise who going to fulfill the prophecies [04:10] only one man could do it right that's why we read the gospels right because we look at it yahushua [04:16] yahushua came and in the flesh right the most like god [04:22] put his own spirit in the flesh and then he was energized enough to actually keep the commandments there [04:27] were plenty before y'all were sure right you had who would start with solomon [04:34] all right well i guess you could technically you got to start with david right then you go solomon right then after that you get real bowel [04:42] and who after that who you get you think uh asa you know yeah i think it was the body's your first and asa [04:48] yeah and the asa somewhere after that right and then they just keep going keep going till you get all the way down to what who the livestream is that acai [04:55] you get all the way down to zedekiah then they chop off and then uh and then uh what's his name get it [05:02] was it get a diary or uh get a liar maybe did a liar here the governor no it's a rubber bull get a lion king [05:09] before him though yeah i don't even know if that's the name but it's something or something like that and they conspired against him like all [05:15] right babylon did what they did and then he came from zerubbabel it's a rubber bull came from him [05:22] you get a couple generations there's a rubble boy pick back up with a rubber one the uh wi-fi password is my phone number [05:30] yeah either one of those all right yeah so uh [05:39] so yeah so you see that the mozart guy is just looking for somebody who can stand in that gap right somebody [05:44] who's able to to fulfill that promise and live up to what he promised then he'll give him that gift [05:50] it's that simple so in the same way we take that and we look at that in the [05:55] same way we gotta be able to apply that to ourselves because there's a promise out there for us too right there was a promise out [06:01] there to abraham and a man had to come and live up to that promise now there's a blanket promise all up to all men [06:07] and women right and so now it's our it's our opportunity to live up to those promises most of our guys say if you do this then [06:14] you shall get this and if you live this way and this will happen to you right so now it's our job to look at him be [06:20] like okay how can i live up to that promise right where we leave off last week [06:28] uh john 12 11. this is john chapter 12 verse 11. let's do it [06:34] it might be the end of the chapter that i got to see is it that short 12 can't be that short is it [06:43] either way it's john chapter 12 verse 11 let's see what we got [06:52] after that we're gonna grab luke chapter [07:00] 19. [07:15] you know we're gonna start 10 12 10. it's john chapter 12 verse 10. you cold go hit your blanket [07:23] you can actually but the chief priest consulted that they might put lazarus also to death because that by reason of him many of [07:30] the jews went away and believed on yahushua you remember last week we saw lazarus he got he got rose from [07:35] he he raised from the dead on the on the fourth day right and so after that everybody was [07:41] looking at y'all you look at they like lazarus would they man that was they homeboy and they knew him so it's like [07:46] oh this guy ain't no fraud this is real so they start believing on y'all they're like oh man y'all she was the [07:52] messiah he don't want so then after that there's like well we [07:57] can't just kill y'all sure we're gonna have to kill elijah because we got to put all this stuff to bed [08:02] before it spread too much right so they got to the point where they're about to kill him let's keep going watch this on the next [08:09] day much people that were come to the feast when they heard that yahshua was coming to jerusalem took branches of palm trees and went [08:17] forth to meet him and cried hosanna blessed is the king of israel that comes in the name of the [08:22] lord so you see that this is all prophecy [08:28] they're calling them the king they're declaring they're him the king right because the people think about what just you know you have to put [08:34] together the scene right so remember yahushua was walking he was on his way to jerusalem [08:40] he made a stop right and then he was like oh man [08:46] lazarus just fell asleep you remember the people we was like we're like yeah you sleep all right so no big deal right he just fell asleep [08:53] he's like no no he's not sleep he's dead right because we didn't understand what he meant by [08:58] sleep he said sleep because he's about to raise the man back up for him life is not like when life stopped here for him [09:04] that's not permanent he's looking at that oh that's just sleep because he got the power to raise us back up right so he's looking at his sleep we [09:11] had a lot of sleep no big deal he sleep he like let me clarify he did right do you [09:16] remember he took a detour instead of going right there he took a detour he come back he came back he'd been there for four days [09:22] by the time he got there he raised the man from the dead now all the people start believing in them because they saw that they boy they at [09:28] the man's funeral the kind of thing imagine i'm at this man's funeral right this is my friend [09:33] and this guy that he's kind of questionable right some people say he's the messiah some people say he's an [09:39] imposter all this stuff he's kind of questionable we all on the fence about them some people believe in them [09:45] some people don't right then all of a sudden this man and everybody kind of arguing about [09:50] come in and raise somebody from the dead that been dead and in a tomb for four days [09:57] well heck you made a believer out of me right that's all the people were the people like oh well nah he the real deal [10:03] say start believing in him so that's why after all this happened these people was like hosanna right [10:10] they're calling him king when he comes in they like this is it when you call him king what are you really calling them [10:16] the messiah you calling them the messiah this is the fulfillment of the prophecy this is the man of god that's going to [10:23] take us back to being the kingdom of kingdoms right remember when we started off we [10:29] was yes yeah what you mean most like god he pulled us out of egypt [10:34] he brought us into the land we got to kill all the cannon cannon knights and we was a smaller army [10:40] we was like we was like uh when they we had like uh grasshoppers and they sight we look like little bugs in their sight [10:47] see people were big old people they had tall fortified walls we just a small people compared to them [10:52] we started walking off we took over the whole shebang then after that king solomon came and [10:58] had a whole empire he's running the show they don't talk about that in the history they're [11:04] talking about they're talking about nebuchadnezzar they're talking you know why they don't talk about it it's a crazy part you know [11:10] why they don't talk about it because it can't be verified in other people's history [11:15] you know how much of nebuchadnezzar stuff that they talk about can't be verified you know why they believe nebuchadnezzar [11:21] because our books say it so let me get this straight our book tell you about us getting our [11:27] butt kicked by another man but y'all don't want to believe it when our book tell you that we actually won the fight show me any of these other people and [11:33] tell you about another nation coming and kicking their butt ain't nothing you ain't never seen [11:39] nobody putting on that oh yeah and they killed us they killed all our people and put us in slaves we got the only book though [11:46] our book is the only book that's honest that tell the whole story the majority of the book talking bad about us [11:52] you know how you got a book tagging talking bad about his own people you read the most the majority of our [11:57] but it's our history book at the end of the day right you you read the majority of our history [12:02] it done by we ain't do nothing at the most high god said we disobeyed the man we got our butt kicked by this nation [12:09] got our butt kit that's why they believe this other stuff they see it in a book then they go dig [12:14] it up and nebuchadnezzar got it written on this hieroglyph and all that stuff and they're like okay we believe it [12:19] however when we write something just because they can't find it somewhere else they don't believe even though they use our book at the standard [12:25] they don't want to admit it though they make a darn fool out of they still ain't making a fool out of they make a darn fool out of themself [12:31] it's our darn history right so we look at it we look at we look at yahshua [12:37] he's in this predicament we see that the people who believe on him is now calling him the king so [12:43] they're welcoming they are welcoming him they're like yo this is it right there they're crowning [12:48] him the king that means something though what does that mean for us right what does that mean if he's being [12:55] crowned king right now ain't about to take take our nation back that means rome has to go [13:02] so the dilemma with people is what if he's not really the messiah [13:08] right if they crown in him the messiah and he's not really the messiah that means we lose the war with rome [13:15] that's dangerous so we read last week how the leaders how the pharisees was looking like [13:20] listen it's expedient that one man died right this man that think he the messiah [13:26] and everybody thank you the messiah it makes sense it's appropriate that he we kill him [13:31] because otherwise we're gonna end up going to war with rome and they're gonna kill us all [13:37] right so this is the logic like when you hear people when you hear people tell you tell you about the bible a lot of times it lacks context you know [13:45] what i'm saying like it's this is the context like it's no clear in real life just like right now [13:50] you kind of look like you've probably been to churches and all that stuff right and like you go to a church and it's like well [13:56] well phil moore say you know what i'm saying like they'd be lying right but you go to church they don't [14:01] really feel like they'd be lying like even churches like they feel legit to me like it feel right right so it's like [14:08] it it's just like that back in this time like there's no clear like this person's absolutely [14:13] lying this person is absolutely telling the truth it's like well everybody feel like they got some truth to them [14:18] how am i supposed to know but they had odds just like i'm at odds with the majority of the christians [14:24] and the muslims in the hebrew i met eyes with everybody you know what's about i just did odds with everybody you know about but you look at it like that's the [14:30] same thing they looking at it there they're like well y'all should be calling the pharisees the hypocrites the sergey sees [14:36] the hypocrites the herodians the hypocrites right here odds with everybody right [14:43] but then they say that that he he a hypocrite and he don't you know i'm saying he'd be hanging out with sinners [14:48] and he can't be the real deal either who are we supposed to believe i saw the man raise somebody from the dead and he [14:55] was in the tomb for four days that's who i'm rolling with hosanna right so let's read watch this [15:07] and y'all sure when he had found a young donkey sat there on it as it is written fear not daughter of zion behold your [15:13] king comes sitting on a donkey's coat uh-huh these things understood not his disciples at the first [15:19] when yahshua was glorified then they remembered that those things were written of him and that they had done the things unto [15:25] him the people therefore that was with him when he called lazarus out of the out of his grave and raised him from the [15:32] dead bear record for this cause the people also met him for that they heard that he had done [15:37] this miracle pharisees therefore said among themselves perceive ye how [15:43] you prevailed nothing behold the world has gone after him and there were certain greeks they met [15:50] you see that there's like perceive you hey y'all understand y'all failed that's what he's looking at like the [15:56] pharisees talking amongst themselves they like y'all understand y'all messed up right now everybody is going after the man [16:02] remember they see him as a danger not because they you know i'm saying they they against god and they evil and they [16:09] mind that's not the case and they mind they see him as a danger because like this guy really thinks he's the messiah [16:15] he's going to get all these people round up and we're not going to be able to take rome like understand rome is a whole [16:20] empire we're like this small little country right so it's like the only way we win [16:27] this war is if god got our back we won that we we've been in this type of fight before [16:32] we took in a a whole group of people right and we just this small group right we've been there before we we cool [16:38] with it as long as we know god is behind us but if we're going after this guy and we [16:44] don't know if he's really the guy and he ain't even trying to scrap nothing like it ain't like y'all [16:50] popping up like yo we're wrong man show them to me they might roll with him if he said that the man [16:55] walking around like oh just love me do my commandments right you're a sinner [17:01] if you do this you're a hypocrite so it's like you're dividing us that's how they looking it's like man [17:07] you dividing us like we all unified we kind of fancy feel like we got all this stuff in line now you telling everybody we the [17:14] wicked ones everybody gonna fall apart they looking like you're a danger right so you have to understand it from [17:20] their point of view then they look at it they like oh y'all fail the man then roll somebody from the darn dead [17:26] now everybody following him they called the man hosanna they law we didn't laugh now now they [17:31] feel like now we can't just knock him off because we do the people think he's the darn king they're going to try to kill [17:37] us next so they can't kill him in front of the crowd we don't really keep on [17:42] and there were certain greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast the same came therefore to philip which [17:48] was of bethsaida of galilee and desired him saying sir we would see yahshua uh-huh philip comes [17:54] and tells andrew and andrew and philip tell yahshua okay and y'all answered them saying the [17:59] hour has come that the son of man should be glorified verily verily i say unto you except the corner of wheat fall into the ground and [18:06] die he said accept the corn hold on he said accept the corn of wheat [18:11] fall and die it abides on its own so it abides by itself [18:17] right but watch this but if it die it brings forth much fruit he that loves his life shall lose it and [18:22] he that has his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal if any man says hold on so [18:29] so you have to understand what that means so let me start we started off with abraham right [18:36] and abraham had abraham had a son right they named him isaac you know why they named [18:42] isaac i didn't mean laugh in hebrew right they named him isaac because when he told his wife [18:47] right when the most like god told his wife like yo you gonna have a kid she a hundred darn years old she laughed [18:53] at it she like this is this is a joke to me so they named him laughs right so [18:58] abraham has his miracle son he gets to a point where the most high god blesses him and says yo [19:05] yo seed that comes after your seed oh yeah he gonna rule the nations this [19:10] is a promise abraham hold we got grab genesis chapter [19:16] 26 this is genesis chapter 26 give me verse one [19:23] right abraham his whole at this point his whole hope in joy [19:31] is according to this promise his whole life is now devoted to this promise i'm gonna uphold my end [19:38] of the deal for this promise and you have to uphold your end of the deal that's how you're looking at god [19:44] right so everything that he got is for this promise watch this and there was a famine in the [19:51] land besides the first famine that was in the days of abraham and isaac went on to abimelech [19:56] king of the philistine philistines unto gerar and the lord answered unto him and said go [20:01] not down into egypt dwell in the land which i shall tell you uh-huh sojourn in this land and i will be with you and will bless you for [20:08] unto you and unto your seed i will give all these countries and i will perform the oath which i swear to abraham your [20:13] father look which i swear to what abraham your father okay and i will make [20:19] your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven and will give unto your seed all these countries and then your seed shall all the nations [20:26] of the earth be blessed so now the same promise that he gave to abraham who is he giving it to now [20:31] isaac he's giving it to isaac where's abraham at yes who do we got go to hebrews chapter 11. [20:40] [Music] and i want y'all to keep in mind what we just read in john chapter 12. in john chapter 12 he said unless this [20:47] or wheat and right unless this the seed drop into the ground it's gonna be there [20:53] by itself if if i take like i got a whole bunch of seeds and i'll take one seed and let's just [21:01] say i put it inside of that cup and leave it on that cup right if i do that will that seed ever [21:09] multiply it's going to be right there by itself right he's saying unless [21:16] it falls into the ground and it's buried and it dies that's the only way that seed becomes a [21:22] whole plant of wheat and when it comes the whole plant of wheat guess how many seeds come from that that one plant [21:28] it multiplies right so he's trying to tell us something right there so keep that concept in mind [21:33] so we had we had abraham who had a son named isaac abraham was given a promise about isaac [21:40] abraham died then isaac was given that same promise [21:45] right all right let's go to hebrews chapter 11 give me verse one now faith is the substance of things [21:52] hoped for the evidence of things not seen uh-huh for by it the elders ordained obtained a good report through faith we [21:59] understand that the words were framed by the word of god so that things which are seen were not made of things which [22:04] okay by faith abel offered unto god a more excellent sacrifice than cain by which he obtained witness that he was [22:12] righteous testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaks okay by faith enoch was translated that [22:19] he should not see death and was not found because god had translated him but before his [22:24] translation he had this testimony that he pleased god okay and without faith it is impossible to please him [22:31] where he that comes to god must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that did legitly seek him [22:36] okay by faith noah being warned of god being warned of god of things not seen [22:41] as yet move with fear prepared at art to the saving of his house by the witch he condemned the world and [22:48] became heir of the righteousness which is by faith watch this by faith abraham when he was called to go out into a place which he [22:55] should which he should after receive for an inheritance obey and he went out not knowing where he [23:00] went by faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country dwelling in [23:05] tabernacles with isaac and jacob the heirs with him of the same promise watch this where he looked for a city [23:11] which has foundations whose builder and maker is god boys calm down through faith also sarah [23:17] herself receives strength to conceive seed delivered of a child when she was past age because she judged and faithful who [23:23] had promised okay therefore spring there even of one and him as good as dead so many as the [23:30] stars of the sky and multitude and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable okay he's all died in faith [23:36] he said these what all died in faith these all did what died in faith all of these boys died in [23:43] faith watch this though not having received the promises they didn't get nothing before they died [23:51] right the promise that they directed their life towards sure they got you know they got these little promises [23:56] right but the promises that they change their whole life for they die without getting it [24:03] yoshua is trying to tell us that like listen unless you die right you never gonna multiply [24:13] unless you die like you never gonna produce real fruit never going to come to the glory just [24:20] like a plant we bury a seed in order to grow [24:25] a garden right so this is like this has to be our our mindset [24:33] if our mindset is like i'm talking to some brothers they've been gracious like really kind [24:39] but i've been talking to them over the last few weeks um uh some hebraiser like brothers and [24:45] and they we talk every we talk every week um and one of their focuses [24:52] is kind of unity right they're like oh we need to all come together and it was exposed last time that that [24:59] their reason for coming together is not necessarily to learn the word that's what i thought it was i thought [25:05] it was like hey let's work out our differences and let's let's all come and get solid on the word [25:10] but i heard them on the call and they were like and they all came to agreement i just i just was quiet because i want to understand where where are y'all [25:16] coming from what y'all thinking so i heard them on the call and they like they're like yeah you know i'm saying we need to all come together [25:22] because the the main goal needs to be to fight oppression around the world our black people are oppressed all the [25:29] way around the world and we have to fight that oppression so i'm looking i'm like i mean now [25:35] that's good i understand like i understand fight oppression yeah fight the power of black people oppressed but i'm like well hold on they [25:42] just going on about it and they're like oh rua this that another so i'm like [25:48] why are black people oppressed all the way around the world though [25:53] and it's like it's like because you know white supremacy and this that and uh i'm like okay okay but like who put [26:01] white in the supreme place like how does that happen [26:06] yeah like well you know the most high god he put you know what i'm saying he put you know rulers in places and i was like okay so i was like if we [26:13] end up fighting oppression without understanding how what god wants [26:19] from us do we find ourselves fighting against god right if we end up doing this wrong [26:25] right we fight no pressure for the sake of fighting oppression do we end up do we end up fighting against god [26:33] have we seen that before seen it plenty of times right [26:44] jeremiah telling you submit to babylon imagine that right imagine that i claim [26:50] to be a prophet of god you are the king you are a soldier we at war with babylon [26:57] babylon kicking in our doors they at our they at our gates every time somebody leave babylon chop [27:03] their darn head off right like we had literal war we got casualties to these people but we can take them [27:10] we're not going down like no little punks right so our king come to us and say let's do it [27:16] our soldiers is like yo let's move and then i come along right in this [27:23] environment when we losing casualties we have to keep our soldiers strong to go fight this war i come along and i say [27:30] no we just need to give it up we're not going to win god said we ain't gonna win can you imagine that like imagine [27:36] imagine us going to go fight terrorists in afghanistan right and then like one of the people in [27:43] congress is like nah we can't do it we're not gonna win and like publicly said that on the news or something like that [27:49] right people gonna be like you don't support our troops this that the other that they're if they have their life on the line for our [27:55] freedoms and you're you're down talking to them this that well that's the same thing that happened with our people but the reason why jeremiah had hey cut [28:02] it out the reason why jeremiah had to do that is because the book is very clear [28:08] he's saying the most i got saying i want i have babylon there and beating your butts because y'all disobeyed me so what i'm [28:16] trying to explain to the brothers is listen i understand the want to deal with oppression but we have to think about [28:22] the book we have to think about martha we have to think about the apostles remember the apostles when they first got put on [28:29] right people start fighting who start who people start fighting what they start fighting about remember the gentiles and [28:35] the hebrews start fighting yeah it is like they was like man look [28:42] it looked like the hebrew women are getting fed you know what i'm saying but not all the gentiles are getting fed [28:47] like they think if the gentiles complain like this thing ain't fair right so you know what happened they [28:54] wrote to the apostles so the problem was like listen listen listen we don't have time to be waiting on tables we got to [29:02] preach the word so they appointed individuals because [29:08] it's not that waiting on tables is not important so they they appointed individuals to hold you know to handle that business [29:15] but they themselves had to focus on the word you remember martha and mary y'all [29:21] walked in the house martha cleaning up she tried to make sure everybody good she cooking she making sure everybody [29:27] that is important but what mary do she sat her butt down right at his feet and wanted to learn [29:32] from him martha started complaining she said she said what [29:39] mary why aren't you helping me yo she was like leave her alone [29:44] she's sitting in my feet to learn she grabbed what was important [29:50] we have to think about these things because if not we'll lose ourselves if we start making our focus fighting [29:57] the white man and fighting oppression we lose focus of why he's there in the first place [30:05] and everything falls out of perspective then you start believing all types of stuff right all it takes is this little things [30:12] are what we think is little things and it throws off our whole perspective everything falls out of the line and [30:17] we'll believe anything at that point right we have to make sure we keep ourselves focused [30:24] that we understand what are we dealing with our first goal is to understand what the most high [30:30] god requires of us once we know that we can deal with oppression because now when i deal with [30:35] oppression i'm gonna deal with it appropriately i'm not about to try to go to war with the white man i'm not about to pick up my gun and go [30:41] try to you know i'm saying go tell trump i'm marching up i'm marching up to the white house and we going to war with them that don't [30:46] make no sense what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna obey god and i'm gonna tell trump you don't crook it and the next one i [30:54] get in i'm gonna be like you crooked too if you don't do right by my people right i'm not picking up no gun and [30:59] shooting it at you i'm gonna call out your sin [31:05] and i'ma call out my people sin and we're gonna be in obedience to the most high god [31:12] and i believe the prophecy at that point right the prophecy is saying that eventually it's gonna come a day where [31:18] the prophet's gonna come and they're gonna release us from this captivity and they're gonna take us back into the wilderness and then eventually make us [31:24] back into the land those are all prophecies we don't see that prophecy nobody sees that prophecy [31:30] if they not obeying at least they don't see the good part of the prophecy if they not obeying right [31:38] everything has to come in its own order what verse we own [31:45] reason hebrews give me uh give me uh luke chapter 19. [31:51] this is luke chapter 19 give me i don't know where we want to start but let's do verse one just in case [31:59] luke chapter 19 verse 1. [32:07] yahushua entered and passed through jericho and behold there was a man named which was of the chief among republicans [32:14] and he was rich he sought to see yahshua who he was and could not for the press because he was a [32:19] little uh and when they say when they say could not because of the press they talk about a whole bunch of people like you know [32:24] what i'm saying they say the press they talk about like a whole bunch of people like pressing against each other because it's like a huge crowd so you guys are kids you know [32:31] that's why i named my boy i'm saying tasha was like i want to name ourselves zachais you know what i'm saying so i [32:36] was like gaius things sound greek so i looked it up you know this one so he has the hebrew the original version of it zakai [32:43] right but you know what i'm saying like zacchaeus is what his name was akai he's looking like he's like oh what's [32:49] going on so he see this huge crowd everybody a lot of people didn't heard it y'all sure so you see the [32:54] huge crowd but he can't i like to imagine here like a little short dude you know what i'm saying looking it's a [33:00] huge presence you can't get to it so it's a guy looking around like you know how do i get you know what i'm [33:05] saying you short too you know what i'm saying how do i get how do i get up there so watch what he did [33:12] and he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him for he was to pass that way right so he said when he read before [33:18] when as they ran before what he's saying is he ran in front of it right so he ran in front of the crowd [33:24] so he sprinted the crowd well can you imagine you in a big old crowd usually you walking kind of slow you don't say it's too many people [33:30] everybody walking slow so he ran in front of the crowd and he jumped into a tree he jumped to a [33:35] big old tree and he climbed to the top of it so he could see watch this when y'all sure came to the place he looked up and saw him and said [33:41] zakiyah okay make hasten come down for today i'm gonna survive at your house now imagine that imagine that right [33:49] you just excited because you see the celebrity you know yo she was kind of like a celebrity in some crowds right [33:55] but you he like this like super hated figure or super love figure like it's split down the middle right [34:00] so it's like it's like you see the crowd and it's like oh this might be the guy you know what i'm saying so you don't [34:06] want to get too close but you just trying to see what's happening because you don't want to be around all that crowd so like all right let me run up here i [34:11] jump i jump in the tree and i'm just looking all i'm doing is looking all of a sudden the man walked [34:17] past out of nowhere to look up at you get your house ready i'm coming to your house tonight like you don't know the [34:22] man ain't never talk to the man ain't that the man didn't look at you and be like i'm coming to your house tonight [34:27] watch this and he made haste and came down and received him joyfully when they saw it they all murmured [34:33] saying that he was gone to be he was going to be the guest with a man that is a senator right now this man he's a republican [34:41] in other words he'd be collecting taxes with our people that's a no-no right because we hebrew we are prideful [34:48] people right we hebrews we got taken by rome and we let rome in our mind [34:54] we letting y'all have this because we disobeyed god right we know why we here because we you you couldn't do this as the most [35:00] high god wouldn't let you do it that's kind of how we think about it so then for somebody to go and say i'm [35:05] gonna collect taxes from my own people on behalf of rome that's just like the highest treachery [35:12] it's like oh you just a traitor you ought to be ashamed of yourself you're a sellout [35:17] right so when you got that person automatically you're a sinner like nobody cared nothing about you [35:25] right so he's looking at it like he looking like this dude is no good everybody knew who he was this dude did no good [35:32] right then y'all shoot with your papa like i'm coming to your house so that that right right some eyebrows everybody like how are you [35:37] going this guy the kai that boy beats no no no we can't do it right watch this and [35:45] zachais stood and said unto the lord behold lord the half of my goods i gave to the poor [35:50] and if i have taken anything from any man by false accusation i returned it to him fourfold [35:56] yo you said unto him this day is salvation coming to this house for as much as he also is the son of abraham [36:01] but the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost so you understand what he just did [36:09] he repented all right he repented he didn't get asked to [36:16] repent he just popped up and he said he already knew what he said listen i already did [36:21] these things so when everybody else is looking at it they're looking like oh you're going to [36:27] a center no y'all sure dealing with somebody who was repented [36:32] everybody else just didn't know he repented watch it keep going y'all sure said to [36:38] him this day of salvation come to this house for as much as he also was the son of abraham for the son of man has come to [36:44] seek it to save that which was lost and as they heard these things he added and make a parable because he was [36:50] tsunaya to jerusalem and because they thought that so remember he's on his way to jerusalem right that's [36:55] what all this is about he's like walking back to jerusalem because he's about to die right so he's [37:01] like walking back and all these things are happening on his way back so the books say he's nigh to jerusalem and what happened [37:07] because they thought that the kingdom of god should immediately appear he said therefore a certain nobleman [37:12] went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return and he called his ten [37:17] servants to deliver them ten pounds and said unto them occupied to i come okay but his citizens hated him and sent [37:23] a message after him saying we will not have this man reign over us okay it came to pass that when he was returned have he received the kingdom [37:30] then he commanded these servants to be called unto him to whom he had given the money that he might know how much every man [37:36] gained by trading okay then came the first saying lord your pound has gained 10 pounds right [37:42] so i gave you a pound you know what i'm saying i flipped that and i brought it back 10 pounds [37:47] you know what i'm talking about see that look you gave me one pound i went ahead and flipped that you went away i flipped that don't worry about it [37:53] lord i got you 10 pounds right i made the profit [37:58] let's see what you say he said of them well well you good servant because you have [38:03] been faithful in very little and thought wait in the end thou [38:08] authority over ten cities right intensity so because you was able to flip my one pound into [38:14] ten pound i'm gonna go ahead and make you a ruler over ten cities right watch this and the second came saying lord your [38:21] pound has gained five pounds and he said likewise to him be thou also over five cities [38:26] right oh you flipped it into five pounds i ain't quite ten but i'll give you five city go for it watch this and the other came saying [38:32] lord behold here is your pound which i have kept laid up in a nap for i fear thee because you are in [38:39] uh he said you're all steered man thou take us up that thou lay is not [38:45] down and reap thou reef that vow didn't so right so when they say austere man said it's like [38:50] saying uh yeah like you're a heart yeah hearts man you know what i'm saying so it's like man i know [38:56] like you kind of mean yeah he said he said look lord i gave you i got your pound i didn't lose a bit of it [39:02] i wrapped it up in a napkin and kevin because i know you kind of mean i know how you are like you be taking [39:09] other people's stuff that you didn't work for in other words you got always got people working for you right you know what i'm saying like you [39:14] don't be lifting the finger yourself i know how you get it so i was like i just wrapped it up in the napkin here's the pound you gave me [39:20] and here's it here it is back watch this he said unto him out of their own mouth will i judge thee you wicked [39:26] servant you knew that i was an austere man taking up that i did not the taking up that i laid not down and [39:33] reaping that i did not sow why wherefore then gave us not thou my money and to the bank [39:39] that at my coming i might have required my own with usury right so in other words the logic of the [39:45] man was like i know how you get it like i know you got people working for you i know you got a whole bunch of people [39:51] that are getting i know you getting yours so all i wanted to do is make sure i didn't lose what you gave me [39:57] because you were harsh man and that ends up being a loss for him he called him a wicked [40:03] man due to that right we have to understand how god is thinking [40:09] god is saying look i'm going to give you this i need you to flip it and i'm not talking about money right [40:16] i'm talking about doing his will right he gives us this life this body this [40:22] everything and we kind of feel like oh well it's because i need to enjoy this life [40:27] he gave it to me because you know i'm saying like god want me to have a family or he wants me to have a good job or to [40:33] be able to provide for you know provide for people or help people out uh well that's all secondary right [40:39] what he really wants you to do is obey his word and by obeying his word you multiply [40:45] right you have fruit you flipping when you obey his word right because when you obey his word then somebody see your life and they [40:51] like oh that's why he has so much peace because he served god and that's another [40:57] person that's obeying his word and another person that's obeying this word so you took the one pound and you [41:02] flipped it even if you're not preaching right just by obedience like [41:08] we don't understand we don't under like we don't see the whole picture the only thing we see is our peace and that's all we're supposed to see is [41:14] our peace right the trust that when people say trust god and the bible say trust god [41:20] what that is all that is is that basically saying trust that by doing your peace that the whole [41:26] picture is going to come together you may not see it it may not make sense it may be hard but just trust by you just every [41:34] day you know what i ain't gonna cuss i ain't gonna lie i ain't gonna steal you know what i'm gonna be i'm gonna [41:40] make sure i keep my my my you know i'm saying keep myself in check i'm gonna make sure i'm generous [41:45] to the people who need it this that another by doing these things i'ma keep in line right now we don't see [41:53] that people are constantly watching us waiting for us to fail waiting for us to fall back and when we don't [41:59] when we die and they like oh he didn't fail [42:04] that multiplies them right that that whatever was in them transfers into us [42:11] right that's how it works you have to be faithful to death people until you die people will throw [42:17] rocks at you people be sitting there now i mean you lie hypocrite philip don't i guarantee you [42:23] not because i guarantee you but this is how the book work when i die right these videos gonna [42:30] skyrocket it's another it's another gentleman not everything he said was true i forget it was pastor darby or something like that the [42:37] man was a nobody when he was alive but he had some prophecy right some of this prophecy he taught it right [42:43] according to the book when he died videos on youtube just blew up whole church blue he got a whole [42:49] church somebody else took over his church preaching lies but the whole thing blew up after he died [42:55] and that's how it worked yeah remember he's hanging we're gonna read about it but remember the man was hanging there's there mocking him like yeah why [43:02] don't you you you the son of god why won't you get yourself down why don't you just snap your finger and jump on down here since you're the son [43:08] of god why are you dying if you're the son of god then the man died and what did they say [43:15] the man died and started earthquaking sky was dark they're looking like surely that is the [43:21] son of god but the man had to die it goes to that [43:27] same concept the wheat if it's alone ain't gonna do nothing but when you bury that thing [43:35] and put a little water on it it's gonna grow and it's gonna multiply and then turn into a whole bunch of seeds that has to [43:42] be our mindset like we can't be caught up in in what's going on in this world [43:48] right because it's temporary that's why you'll see like y'all like like god god ain't really thinking about [43:53] us dying you know what i'm saying like it don't mean nothing because you know he got the power to raise us back up into a life that's more meaningful right [44:01] this is just like you know he just looking like this just proving ground so that's kind of how it's not saying [44:06] that don't enjoy this life and don't cherish what god has given you in this life that's not what i'm saying what i'm saying is the priority has to [44:12] be what does god require of me after that's all taken care of now i can [44:18] enjoy my family right now i can now i can enjoy my job or my money or whatever i might have [44:24] right i can enjoy that but what does god require of me first if you start putting anything before [44:29] that that's it right keep going watch this [44:36] and he said unto them that's never take from him the pound and give it to him that has ten pounds and they said unto him lord he has ten [44:42] pounds but i say unto you that unto everyone which has which has shall be given [44:48] and from him that has not even that he has shall be taken away from it those mine enemies which would not which [44:55] would not that i should reign over them being here and slay them before them [45:00] bring here and slay them before them and when he had when he had that spoken [45:06] he went before ascending up to jerusalem and it came to pass when he was come near the birthday [45:11] in bethany that the mountain called the mount of olives he sent two of his disciples [45:17] saying go into the village over against you and the witch and the witch at your entering you shall [45:22] find a coke tied where on yet never man sat use him and bring him here uh-huh he man [45:30] ask you why did you lose him you shall say unto him because the lord has need of him right we ain't got to get it but the [45:37] prophet zechariah uh prophesied about this all right so this is the reason why he [45:43] had to go get a donkey and a cult is because this had to fulfill prophecy right prophet zechariah said it was [45:49] going to play out so he just grabbed it it may seem like for anybody who don't know the scripture or it wasn't tuned into it [45:55] and really nobody really caught it because it's so hidden inside of the scripture right so it's like it may seem random [46:02] it's like why you gotta get a donkey right now but watch how this thing play out [46:07] and they that were sent went their way and found even as he had set up them and as they were losing the code [46:13] the owners thereof said unto them why do you choose the code and the lord has need of him [46:18] and they brought him to yahshua and they cast their garments upon the coat and they sat ya sure they're on and as [46:24] he went they spread their clothes in the way and he was come near even now at the descent of the mount of olives the whole [46:30] multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise god with a loud voice for all [46:35] the mighty works that he had that they had seen saying blessed is the king that comes in the name of the lord [46:40] right so now so now we look at it and we think oh you're just getting a donkey [46:46] that's random but our kings would ride in on donkeys [46:52] right when they got crowned as king they would ride in on donkeys so when he looked at it he started [46:58] writing donkeys and what he know the people who believe he's the king they just start laying out their coats [47:04] in front of them right this is when we read it the first place we read about it was in john 12 [47:09] they said he got the palm trees out it's the same event it's just told from two different perspectives right so this one they went into a [47:16] little more detail right so he got the he got the coat they started laying out everything they're like yeah the king is here why why [47:22] should i keep going some of the pharisees from among the multitudes turn unto him master rebuke [47:28] your disciples and he answered and sent under the democracy that if these should hold their peace the stones would immediately [47:34] cry out all right he is there trying to get him to stop like why don't you tell them the youngster why don't you tell me you ain't the king rebuke him [47:40] right rebuke him all right keep going and when he was come near he beheld the city and wept over it saying [47:48] even you at least in this that at least in this thy day the things [47:54] which belong unto your peace but now they are ahead from your eyes for the day shall come upon you that [47:59] your enemies shall cast the trench about you encompass you round and keep you in and keep you [48:05] in on every side and shall lay thee even with thee with the ground and thy [48:11] children within thee and they shall not leave and be one stone upon another because you know it's not the time of your hesitation [48:18] so he's letting him know like man if y'all only knew what was about to play out [48:23] right he was like man if y'all only knew who was right here standing right in front of y'all and what was about to play out but they [48:30] didn't know people don't really know like some even the people that believe don't really know right they think he about to [48:35] like take the crown right now and like make something happen he's like y'all have no idea it's about to get real rough like i'm [48:42] about to die and then after i die it's about to be some word spread and all that good stuff [48:47] but then after a while this whole thing about to get shut down so in history what we saw was after his [48:54] death years after his death like 30 years or something like that after his death the romans came and they literally [49:00] destroyed it exactly how he said and that's documented right in history they destroyed it exactly are you talking about [49:05] they're like man we ain't gonna leave one stone on top of another they got rid of jerusalem they didn't destroy all of israel but [49:11] jerusalem they got rid of it right boy be quiet [49:18] keep going watch this and he went to the temple and began to cast them that soul therein [49:24] and them that bought cast out that that sold their hand in that box it is written my house is a house of [49:31] prayer but you have made it a dinner thieves and he taught daily in the temple where the chief priests and the scribes and [49:36] the chief of the people sought to destroy him and could not find what they might do for all the people who are very [49:41] attentive to hear him that's the end of it uh let's grab uh [49:49] actually no that's that's that's good so we're gonna continue to kind of follow [49:55] him through throughout the land um he's now in jerusalem he goes into the temple [50:00] he starts making a ruckus right he's looking like all right we gotta get this stuff together cause y'all acting like this is a mess [50:05] so we're gonna see like as things start to develop he's gonna cause a lot of division [50:11] within the land because of the way he's acting right for the pharisees they're looking like oh man what are we gonna do we got [50:17] to protect the people they really starting to believe him and he's in jerusalem now it's different when like [50:22] you up north you know you up north and you talk about noise it's like that's a whole different thing now you in jerusalem like now you're in [50:29] the land you next to the temple talking this crazy stuff right so it's like oh we gotta do something about it and y'all she was [50:35] just looking like i know i have to die people are not really looking at it like he's looking at it he knows he's about to have to die right [50:42] so all these things are starting to come together at once the pressure is kind of going all over everybody everybody feeling like they [50:47] got to make a move and so we're going to kind of see how this how this stuff plays out we'll pick up next week probably at about [50:53] uh we'll probably do luke 20 or uh matthew i think like matthew 19 or [51:00] something like that um any questions [51:05] let's pray
