1
00:00:30,099 --> 00:00:30,763
Back with us tonight.

2
00:00:30,811 --> 00:00:34,555
I know many of you know him,
most of you know him again, president

3
00:00:34,627 --> 00:00:38,123
of the Norris Baptist Bible
Seminary, really evangelist out of

4
00:00:38,131 --> 00:00:40,747
the Victor Baptist Church in
Weatherford and appreciate him, appreciate

5
00:00:40,763 --> 00:00:41,195
his friendship.

6
00:00:41,227 --> 00:00:42,439
Come on, preach to us.

7
00:00:48,019 --> 00:00:48,603
Amen.

8
00:00:48,651 --> 00:00:50,603
I do remember your mother
singing that song.

9
00:00:50,651 --> 00:00:52,059
She could surely sing.

10
00:00:52,179 --> 00:00:53,879
Genesis chapter six.

11
00:00:54,179 --> 00:00:58,759
We're going to use our little
travel guide now and I got a little

12
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:02,179
insert in there for you so
you'll be able to go home and go

13
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:06,423
deeper that'll mean something
to you.

14
00:01:06,431 --> 00:01:08,023
In a minute we start talking
about the flood waters.

15
00:01:08,071 --> 00:01:09,927
You can go deeper in the study.

16
00:01:09,983 --> 00:01:10,343
Okay?

17
00:01:10,391 --> 00:01:11,859
Genesis chapter six.

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:13,927
We're going to climb a mountain.

19
00:01:14,103 --> 00:01:16,823
We're going to camp out on the
mountain and then we're going to

20
00:01:16,831 --> 00:01:17,511
claim the mountain.

21
00:01:17,575 --> 00:01:17,959
All right?

22
00:01:17,999 --> 00:01:21,297
And there is a four letter
word here, starts with R in, ends

23
00:01:21,313 --> 00:01:23,149
with T, rhymes with best.

24
00:01:24,009 --> 00:01:26,449
And it's a very big part of
what's going on here.

25
00:01:26,489 --> 00:01:28,145
We can't climb a mountain.

26
00:01:28,337 --> 00:01:31,521
We can't get up and get a
perspective, refreshed to go back

27
00:01:31,545 --> 00:01:32,909
down the valley to minister.

28
00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:36,513
If we let things hold us down,
hold us back.

29
00:01:36,601 --> 00:01:37,457
Alright.

30
00:01:37,633 --> 00:01:41,921
And by the way, one of the
great things about a mountain, it

31
00:01:41,945 --> 00:01:45,921
gives you a perspective and
life can get kind of mundane in the

32
00:01:45,945 --> 00:01:49,035
plain and you need to get up
there and see some things in a fresh

33
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:49,211
way.

34
00:01:49,235 --> 00:01:52,091
The air is better up there,
it's cleaner on and on.

35
00:01:52,115 --> 00:01:54,171
And maybe sometime this week
I'll have a chance to tell you about

36
00:01:54,195 --> 00:01:56,475
Mount Sunflower in western Kansas.

37
00:01:56,667 --> 00:01:58,251
Don't go to the Internet and
ruin it.

38
00:01:58,275 --> 00:01:59,835
Just stay off the Internet.

39
00:02:00,027 --> 00:02:01,531
Don't go to the Internet and
ruin it.

40
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:03,771
Let me tell you about Mount
Sunflower later this week.

41
00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:06,171
If I don't squeeze it in
Wednesday, then I'll email you.

42
00:02:06,195 --> 00:02:06,395
Okay?

43
00:02:06,427 --> 00:02:08,043
But anyway, Genesis chapter six.

44
00:02:08,131 --> 00:02:10,319
Look at your notes and we'll
have a word of prayer.

45
00:02:10,739 --> 00:02:16,499
If you're Noah, you have truly
weathered the worst part of the worst

46
00:02:16,579 --> 00:02:17,759
storm ever.

47
00:02:18,779 --> 00:02:19,331
He said.

48
00:02:19,355 --> 00:02:20,755
Well, how bad was it, Brother Stewart?

49
00:02:20,787 --> 00:02:23,119
It was worldwide all at once.

50
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:29,443
Not that it was all smooth
sailing from here on, but the severity

51
00:02:29,491 --> 00:02:31,879
of the situation was lessening.

52
00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:36,707
You have left behind a society
that was self destructing before

53
00:02:36,763 --> 00:02:41,219
your eyes and on the verge of
absolute implosion.

54
00:02:41,559 --> 00:02:45,219
Coming in, not out, but
imploding, collapsing on itself.

55
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:53,579
God has stepped in and done so
in such a way as to leave behind

56
00:02:54,519 --> 00:02:56,895
a testimony for the ages to come.

57
00:02:57,047 --> 00:03:02,527
Don't raise your hand, but how
many have scars in your body because

58
00:03:02,583 --> 00:03:06,217
of past challenges?

59
00:03:06,313 --> 00:03:07,033
Okay.

60
00:03:07,161 --> 00:03:10,521
I walked into a barbed wire
fence one time, out hunting, had

61
00:03:10,545 --> 00:03:11,801
Grass growing up in it.

62
00:03:11,905 --> 00:03:12,969
Ripped my arm open.

63
00:03:13,009 --> 00:03:16,745
Here I was in shop class one
day and we were working with metal,

64
00:03:16,777 --> 00:03:18,105
and that was that semester.

65
00:03:18,137 --> 00:03:22,681
And I was trying to get a
deeper gnarl into the plumb bob we

66
00:03:22,705 --> 00:03:23,593
had fashioned.

67
00:03:23,721 --> 00:03:25,929
And us guys were trying to get
the deepest one.

68
00:03:25,969 --> 00:03:27,465
We're cranking that wheel on
that machine.

69
00:03:27,497 --> 00:03:30,441
I had a really fine point, had
it stuck in there, cranking that

70
00:03:30,465 --> 00:03:33,611
thing down and it snapped and
my arm went in there.

71
00:03:33,635 --> 00:03:34,919
It ripped my arm open.

72
00:03:35,299 --> 00:03:38,475
Had that round thing full of
water in the shop, had lava soap

73
00:03:38,507 --> 00:03:38,939
there.

74
00:03:39,059 --> 00:03:41,051
All my buddies are sitting
there watching me.

75
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:43,003
Not a tear in the eye yet.

76
00:03:43,171 --> 00:03:48,091
I go over there and he takes
that lava soap machine oils all over

77
00:03:48,115 --> 00:03:50,187
my arm from the machine,
scrubs it on there.

78
00:03:50,243 --> 00:03:51,435
My friends are looking at me.

79
00:03:51,507 --> 00:03:52,843
Not a tear in my eye yet.

80
00:03:52,931 --> 00:03:54,699
It stings like crazy.

81
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:56,795
And I didn't get stitches.

82
00:03:56,827 --> 00:03:58,427
We just kind of butterflied it
back together.

83
00:03:58,483 --> 00:04:00,427
I got scars all over my body.

84
00:04:00,483 --> 00:04:02,639
My shins looked like I played
the NFL.

85
00:04:03,769 --> 00:04:05,617
I can tell you story after story.

86
00:04:05,753 --> 00:04:10,385
God left behind scars and
sores and sicknesses.

87
00:04:10,497 --> 00:04:12,497
Physically, in this universe.

88
00:04:12,673 --> 00:04:15,825
The flood was not just upon
the earth, the flood waters were.

89
00:04:15,977 --> 00:04:18,993
But when God got done with
creation, Genesis 1:31, he said it

90
00:04:19,001 --> 00:04:19,949
was very good.

91
00:04:20,409 --> 00:04:22,337
It's not very good anymore.

92
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:25,345
And let me just say something,
because we've preached Bible prophecy

93
00:04:25,377 --> 00:04:29,237
on the flood and six days, it
takes a whole semester to maybe even

94
00:04:29,353 --> 00:04:30,637
broach the subject.

95
00:04:30,813 --> 00:04:33,805
But God left behind such evidence.

96
00:04:33,997 --> 00:04:39,729
And if Noah's flood happened,
it blows the doors out of evolution

97
00:04:40,389 --> 00:04:42,253
because evolution has these concepts.

98
00:04:42,301 --> 00:04:44,493
We started chaotic and we're evolving.

99
00:04:44,541 --> 00:04:46,477
And I don't want to tell them
we're going to ruin their party.

100
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:48,157
We're devolving, okay?

101
00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:51,613
But God did something and we
need to see it and we need to hear

102
00:04:51,621 --> 00:04:51,933
it.

103
00:04:52,021 --> 00:04:54,781
Here's the biggest thing I've
learned studying the Bible through

104
00:04:54,805 --> 00:04:55,333
the years.

105
00:04:55,461 --> 00:04:59,269
I think the biggest thing that
we do not do as Christians is we

106
00:04:59,309 --> 00:05:01,653
don't sufficiently personalize it.

107
00:05:01,821 --> 00:05:05,397
When I say something and you
hear it and that's fine.

108
00:05:05,573 --> 00:05:10,085
But when Jesus, let these
sayings sink down into your ears,

109
00:05:10,197 --> 00:05:11,317
having ears, do you hear?

110
00:05:11,373 --> 00:05:12,769
Having eyes, do you see?

111
00:05:13,629 --> 00:05:15,809
You need to make this Bible personal.

112
00:05:16,589 --> 00:05:20,341
What I mean by that is what
we're going to look at tonight is

113
00:05:20,365 --> 00:05:22,809
in the Bible for you as much
as anybody else.

114
00:05:23,689 --> 00:05:26,193
You are not an accident on
this planet.

115
00:05:26,241 --> 00:05:27,073
It's not incidental.

116
00:05:27,121 --> 00:05:28,497
It's not accidental.

117
00:05:28,673 --> 00:05:30,709
It's even stronger than providential.

118
00:05:31,289 --> 00:05:33,073
You are here for a reason.

119
00:05:33,161 --> 00:05:34,577
Man was not made for the present.

120
00:05:34,713 --> 00:05:36,721
Present was never Intended to
satisfy man.

121
00:05:36,825 --> 00:05:39,429
Man was made for eternity,
eternity with God.

122
00:05:39,769 --> 00:05:42,833
This story in the Bible's
really happened and it's for you.

123
00:05:42,921 --> 00:05:43,745
Let's pray.

124
00:05:43,857 --> 00:05:46,609
Father, help us the next few
minutes to make good use of the time

125
00:05:46,649 --> 00:05:47,521
allotted us.

126
00:05:47,625 --> 00:05:48,801
Thank you for this church.

127
00:05:48,865 --> 00:05:53,429
Thank you for how I don't come
here and change the flow or offer

128
00:05:53,469 --> 00:05:54,069
anything new.

129
00:05:54,109 --> 00:05:57,013
It's just right along with
this church is about Bible preaching

130
00:05:57,061 --> 00:05:57,925
and teaching.

131
00:05:58,117 --> 00:06:00,581
And I pray the Spirit of God
would help me to say what you want

132
00:06:00,605 --> 00:06:02,661
me to say and leave out what
you want me to leave out.

133
00:06:02,685 --> 00:06:04,613
And we pray these things in
Jesus name.

134
00:06:04,701 --> 00:06:05,333
Amen.

135
00:06:05,461 --> 00:06:07,813
So you're there in Genesis
chapter six.

136
00:06:07,981 --> 00:06:12,261
Sometimes somebody will say
what kind of God would wipe the entire

137
00:06:12,325 --> 00:06:14,889
world out with a worldwide flood.

138
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,983
Well, let's take a look at
look at verse number five.

139
00:06:18,151 --> 00:06:23,007
And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the

140
00:06:23,063 --> 00:06:23,699
earth.

141
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:28,703
And that every imagination.

142
00:06:28,831 --> 00:06:31,455
Remember I told you our
thought life is before God.

143
00:06:31,647 --> 00:06:38,079
Every imagination of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil

144
00:06:38,159 --> 00:06:38,959
continually.

145
00:06:39,119 --> 00:06:40,139
Notice this.

146
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,879
Every only continually.

147
00:06:45,699 --> 00:06:49,387
Every only continually.

148
00:06:49,563 --> 00:06:53,323
This is not a man talking,
this is not merely a man writing.

149
00:06:53,371 --> 00:06:58,459
This is God telling you every
imagination of the thoughts of his

150
00:06:58,499 --> 00:07:01,515
heart were only evil continually.

151
00:07:01,707 --> 00:07:03,195
So what do you think was happening?

152
00:07:03,307 --> 00:07:05,243
They were living out those thoughts.

153
00:07:05,371 --> 00:07:06,075
It was horrible.

154
00:07:06,107 --> 00:07:07,079
It got bad.

155
00:07:07,499 --> 00:07:10,243
If you drop down to verse 11,
you ought to read this whole chapter

156
00:07:10,291 --> 00:07:12,003
later, but drop down to verse 11.

157
00:07:12,171 --> 00:07:15,359
God continues to present this
case to us.

158
00:07:16,299 --> 00:07:19,843
The earth also was corrupt
before God.

159
00:07:19,891 --> 00:07:22,879
And the earth was filled with what?

160
00:07:23,579 --> 00:07:24,599
Violence.

161
00:07:25,419 --> 00:07:27,039
Not as violence here.

162
00:07:28,139 --> 00:07:31,795
Excuse me, not as violence
here and violence there.

163
00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:34,359
The earth was filled with violence.

164
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:37,419
Look at the next verse.

165
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:47,179
And God looked upon the earth
and behold, and behold, it was corrupt.

166
00:07:47,679 --> 00:07:52,231
For all flesh had corrupted
his way upon the earth.

167
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:53,623
By the way, that's how we get
in trouble.

168
00:07:53,671 --> 00:07:55,139
We go against God's way.

169
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,059
So we're looking at a horrible situation.

170
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,397
And here just to jump right in
and make sure you get this.

171
00:08:01,543 --> 00:08:05,129
If God had not stepped in,
there would have been nobody left

172
00:08:05,169 --> 00:08:06,069
after a while.

173
00:08:06,449 --> 00:08:08,905
If violence has filled the
earth, you read this whole chapter,

174
00:08:08,937 --> 00:08:09,593
it's very clear.

175
00:08:09,681 --> 00:08:15,389
If violence filled the earth
and there's just widespread evil

176
00:08:15,729 --> 00:08:19,417
besides murder, it be disease,
all kinds of things.

177
00:08:19,553 --> 00:08:24,441
It was self destructing and
just to think ahead and we'll hit

178
00:08:24,465 --> 00:08:25,869
this a little bit in a minute.

179
00:08:26,449 --> 00:08:30,179
God waited until There was
only eight people left.

180
00:08:31,119 --> 00:08:34,019
He'd been warning for at least
300 years.

181
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,319
The name Methuselah was a warning.

182
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:44,899
When Enoch was a certain age,
very young, 65 years old, young.

183
00:08:45,359 --> 00:08:47,047
Well he's going to live to be 930.

184
00:08:47,103 --> 00:08:47,639
That's pretty young.

185
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,535
Amen.

186
00:08:48,727 --> 00:08:50,039
He's 65 years old.

187
00:08:50,079 --> 00:08:53,351
He's told about something
that's coming and it hits him so

188
00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:56,263
hard, he names his son
Methuselah, which means when he dies,

189
00:08:56,311 --> 00:08:57,139
it's coming.

190
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,591
Don't you feel sorry for Methuselah?

191
00:08:59,735 --> 00:09:01,979
Never took the training wheels
off his bicycle.

192
00:09:02,319 --> 00:09:04,499
Never could get up on a tree
very high.

193
00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:06,339
Never could play football.

194
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,111
I mean, the kid had to be
overly protected.

195
00:09:09,175 --> 00:09:09,879
Amen.

196
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:10,983
Don't do that.

197
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:12,535
Dad, can I have my driver's license?

198
00:09:12,567 --> 00:09:13,415
No, no, no, no.

199
00:09:13,487 --> 00:09:14,007
Pretty soon.

200
00:09:14,063 --> 00:09:14,899
Pretty soon.

201
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:19,367
The year the flood came, Noah,
Methuselah died.

202
00:09:19,543 --> 00:09:20,663
Enoch was a prophet.

203
00:09:20,711 --> 00:09:24,601
Methuselah, Noah's name has
great meaning too.

204
00:09:24,705 --> 00:09:28,137
God warned and warned and
warned the world and he waited till

205
00:09:28,153 --> 00:09:29,513
there was eight people left.

206
00:09:29,681 --> 00:09:31,909
God was not sitting up there
doing this.

207
00:09:32,289 --> 00:09:34,585
God was waiting until it was absolutely.

208
00:09:34,617 --> 00:09:36,201
You couldn't wait any longer.

209
00:09:36,345 --> 00:09:37,689
You understand what I'm saying?

210
00:09:37,809 --> 00:09:39,629
All right, now look at the
next paragraph.

211
00:09:40,689 --> 00:09:42,825
Soon you will have been in the
ark over a year.

212
00:09:42,897 --> 00:09:45,497
In chapter seven, he builds
the ark.

213
00:09:45,593 --> 00:09:47,401
God says, I want you to build
this ark.

214
00:09:47,545 --> 00:09:50,269
And boy, this is worth several sermons.

215
00:09:50,609 --> 00:09:55,017
Noah's sons and his family,
basically his daughter in laws.

216
00:09:55,113 --> 00:09:57,389
Weren't they glad they married
the boys they married?

217
00:09:59,329 --> 00:10:02,217
I don't think their mothers
were real happy at first.

218
00:10:02,273 --> 00:10:05,033
But I'll tell you what, they
married the right guys.

219
00:10:05,081 --> 00:10:06,345
They got through the flood okay.

220
00:10:06,377 --> 00:10:09,949
But anyway, he saved them
literally from the flood waters.

221
00:10:10,529 --> 00:10:13,549
When they got inside that ark,
it saved them from the flood waters.

222
00:10:14,789 --> 00:10:18,781
He also saved his sons from
the society of that day because they

223
00:10:18,805 --> 00:10:20,609
were busy in the work of God.

224
00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:22,429
What's the obvious?

225
00:10:22,509 --> 00:10:26,769
Stay in church, stay active,
get involved, have a ministry.

226
00:10:27,829 --> 00:10:31,229
Let this church pull on you
harder than society pulls on you.

227
00:10:31,349 --> 00:10:33,821
The lust of the eyes, the lust
of the flesh, the pride of life can

228
00:10:33,845 --> 00:10:35,169
pull you out of church.

229
00:10:35,589 --> 00:10:37,645
Stay busy in the work of God.

230
00:10:37,677 --> 00:10:42,195
His kids were saved from a
corrupt society and they actually

231
00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:43,811
saw a gospel presentation.

232
00:10:43,875 --> 00:10:45,011
That's astounding.

233
00:10:45,155 --> 00:10:48,611
We see them as understanding
the greater thing, the wrath of God.

234
00:10:48,675 --> 00:10:51,139
The floodwaters picture the
wrath of God as we're going to see.

235
00:10:51,259 --> 00:10:54,599
So just get this picture going
and just kind of use your imagination.

236
00:10:55,019 --> 00:10:56,515
And this is what's really neat.

237
00:10:56,547 --> 00:10:59,651
If you look at chapter seven,
they build the ark and they get it

238
00:10:59,675 --> 00:11:00,067
all finished.

239
00:11:00,083 --> 00:11:02,479
But look what God says in
verse one of chapter seven.

240
00:11:02,939 --> 00:11:06,435
I'm sorry I'm not as congested
as I sound, but I don't want to cough

241
00:11:06,467 --> 00:11:07,279
in your face.

242
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:11,823
I had that fluid.

243
00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:12,779
I'm over it.

244
00:11:13,079 --> 00:11:15,951
I just have just some memories
of it.

245
00:11:15,975 --> 00:11:17,179
Okay, Verse one.

246
00:11:18,199 --> 00:11:22,063
And the Lord said unto Noah,
go into the ark.

247
00:11:22,111 --> 00:11:23,179
Is that what it says?

248
00:11:23,719 --> 00:11:29,151
No, if you knock on my door, I
don't walk outside and go, oh, yeah,

249
00:11:29,215 --> 00:11:31,295
yeah, yeah, go.

250
00:11:31,367 --> 00:11:32,479
Go on in, go on in.

251
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,419
That's what you do with your
dog or your cat.

252
00:11:35,079 --> 00:11:36,095
Okay.

253
00:11:36,287 --> 00:11:37,615
No, you say, come.

254
00:11:37,767 --> 00:11:39,139
What's that imply?

255
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:41,259
I'm in here.

256
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:44,699
And just jump ahead to chapter
8, verse 16.

257
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:47,199
When the flood was over.

258
00:11:47,319 --> 00:11:51,579
What did God say in verse 16
of chapter 8?

259
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:53,535
Come, come out here, Noah.

260
00:11:53,567 --> 00:11:54,591
Is that what it says?

261
00:11:54,775 --> 00:11:56,979
No, he says, go forth.

262
00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:57,711
Now.

263
00:11:57,735 --> 00:11:58,591
I'm not going to tell you.

264
00:11:58,615 --> 00:12:00,335
Christ was an Old Testament appearance.

265
00:12:00,447 --> 00:12:02,433
He did make several Old
Testament appearances.

266
00:12:02,551 --> 00:12:06,477
They're called Christophanes
theophanies, where he actually appeared

267
00:12:06,653 --> 00:12:08,093
many times throughout the Old Testament.

268
00:12:08,141 --> 00:12:11,453
Who's walking in the Garden of
Eden after Adam and Eve sinned?

269
00:12:11,581 --> 00:12:13,549
Who brought Eve to Adam?

270
00:12:13,709 --> 00:12:14,813
Who's talking?

271
00:12:14,941 --> 00:12:15,325
Okay.

272
00:12:15,357 --> 00:12:16,973
When he said he heard the
voice of the Lord.

273
00:12:17,101 --> 00:12:20,957
But at least it implies
they're going to sense God's presence.

274
00:12:21,133 --> 00:12:24,205
They weren't just in that ark
for a year by themselves, so to speak.

275
00:12:24,317 --> 00:12:26,237
God ministered to them in a
special way.

276
00:12:26,293 --> 00:12:28,475
So keep thinking along these things.

277
00:12:28,637 --> 00:12:29,551
And look at verse.

278
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:30,671
Look at the third paragraph.

279
00:12:30,735 --> 00:12:31,343
Excuse me.

280
00:12:31,431 --> 00:12:33,663
For the ark to stop moving.

281
00:12:33,791 --> 00:12:37,567
They had been in that ship and
it had rocked and moved around for

282
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:39,019
over a year.

283
00:12:39,319 --> 00:12:40,495
Think about it.

284
00:12:40,647 --> 00:12:42,367
You're inside that ship.

285
00:12:42,543 --> 00:12:45,679
How many have been to the ark
up north in Kentucky.

286
00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:51,579
Yeah, there you go inside that
thing for a year.

287
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:55,055
And think of the effect when
you got in there from that.

288
00:12:55,127 --> 00:12:57,599
They had to be affected by
society to some degree.

289
00:12:57,759 --> 00:12:59,487
They said goodbye to loved ones.

290
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:00,831
That wouldn't be easy.

291
00:13:00,975 --> 00:13:03,375
They get inside that thing and
they're inside there.

292
00:13:03,527 --> 00:13:04,939
And you know what?

293
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,391
It came to a rest.

294
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:09,359
It came to rest in chapter eight.

295
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:15,139
It came to rest atop of a
mountain, on top of a mountain.

296
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:19,059
This is the first mountain
mentioned in the Bible.

297
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,099
Now it's going to say
mountains of Ararat.

298
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,661
And we're not 100% sure where
it is, but it's very possibly in

299
00:13:27,845 --> 00:13:29,085
eastern Turkey.

300
00:13:29,197 --> 00:13:33,569
There's a Lesser Ararat and
Greater Ararat, two big mountains.

301
00:13:33,989 --> 00:13:37,869
Evolutionists will even tell
you this, that the mountains we have

302
00:13:37,909 --> 00:13:43,213
today are the result of
catastrophic, catastrophic events.

303
00:13:43,341 --> 00:13:47,645
Plates of the earth crashing
up like this uplift or from volcanoes.

304
00:13:47,837 --> 00:13:50,689
Well, at least knocking on the
right door.

305
00:13:52,149 --> 00:13:55,889
The flood caused the mountains.

306
00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:58,769
The flood caused the Grand Canyon.

307
00:13:59,109 --> 00:14:01,501
I've got a little insert in
here with you.

308
00:14:01,685 --> 00:14:02,813
Don't read it now.

309
00:14:02,901 --> 00:14:05,613
Okay, but it overviews the
flood event.

310
00:14:05,781 --> 00:14:09,049
It has a timetable for you on
the flood event.

311
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:10,461
It has a picture of me.

312
00:14:10,485 --> 00:14:10,829
No, no.

313
00:14:10,869 --> 00:14:11,213
Anyway.

314
00:14:11,261 --> 00:14:15,009
And it talks about sicknesses,
sores and scars.

315
00:14:15,429 --> 00:14:19,183
Droughts, floods, blizzards,
hail, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes.

316
00:14:19,301 --> 00:14:20,315
That's not good.

317
00:14:20,467 --> 00:14:22,043
You didn't have that in the
pre flood world.

318
00:14:22,131 --> 00:14:22,843
Look over here.

319
00:14:22,931 --> 00:14:25,835
Swords, geysers, volcanoes, earthquakes.

320
00:14:25,947 --> 00:14:28,639
That's the place in the Earth
that are cracked and they shift.

321
00:14:29,699 --> 00:14:31,483
Meteorites, comets, asteroids.

322
00:14:31,531 --> 00:14:32,439
Say what?

323
00:14:32,739 --> 00:14:35,307
There was no craters on the
moon before the flood.

324
00:14:35,483 --> 00:14:37,931
Do you know the Earth, if you
drained all the water off of it and

325
00:14:37,955 --> 00:14:40,491
took all the sedimentation,
it's covered with craters just like

326
00:14:40,515 --> 00:14:40,987
the moon.

327
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:43,003
The ocean floor's got craters
in it.

328
00:14:43,091 --> 00:14:46,091
We have an asteroid built out
there that's broken satellites or

329
00:14:46,115 --> 00:14:48,221
planets or broken planets out there.

330
00:14:48,395 --> 00:14:50,345
You get past Mars, it's out there.

331
00:14:50,497 --> 00:14:54,189
God is telling us there's been
a catastrophe.

332
00:14:54,929 --> 00:14:57,193
Evolution takes that warning away.

333
00:14:57,361 --> 00:15:01,749
If you go with the Bible, you
realize that God has made a big statement.

334
00:15:03,009 --> 00:15:09,513
It's the second most
impressive, the most dramatic illustration

335
00:15:09,561 --> 00:15:10,669
of his wrath.

336
00:15:11,489 --> 00:15:13,321
You say Mount Sinai is number two.

337
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:15,269
I'd say Mount Sinai is number three.

338
00:15:15,909 --> 00:15:17,069
Okay, stay with us.

339
00:15:17,109 --> 00:15:18,301
Flip over in the back.

340
00:15:18,485 --> 00:15:22,029
And this tells you how Noah's
flood is affecting our world right

341
00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:22,649
now.

342
00:15:23,189 --> 00:15:24,589
When you get a chance, read it.

343
00:15:24,629 --> 00:15:25,949
God intended this.

344
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:27,933
All God had to do was this.

345
00:15:28,101 --> 00:15:29,449
You want to see it again?

346
00:15:30,149 --> 00:15:30,829
Look at it again.

347
00:15:30,869 --> 00:15:32,409
All God had to do was this.

348
00:15:32,709 --> 00:15:34,957
And everybody would evaporate
off the Earth.

349
00:15:35,133 --> 00:15:36,129
They're gone.

350
00:15:36,789 --> 00:15:38,649
God, did he not have to do this?

351
00:15:41,359 --> 00:15:41,767
No.

352
00:15:41,823 --> 00:15:43,095
God could have just spoke the word.

353
00:15:43,127 --> 00:15:44,247
God could have thought the thought.

354
00:15:44,303 --> 00:15:45,819
Everybody would have disappeared.

355
00:15:46,479 --> 00:15:49,939
But he sent the worldwide
flood for a reason.

356
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,139
It's all through the Bible.

357
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,899
And we Baptists and other
people that think properly about

358
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:03,959
what's behind me, a Baptistry,
are illustrating Noah's flood and

359
00:16:03,999 --> 00:16:04,939
something else.

360
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:09,965
We're starting a new convert
on a life of maturity and growth,

361
00:16:10,037 --> 00:16:11,469
if we get the picture.

362
00:16:11,549 --> 00:16:15,581
Okay, so flip your page over
there and you know, you see there

363
00:16:15,605 --> 00:16:17,085
at the top of the second page here.

364
00:16:17,157 --> 00:16:18,781
Go ahead and put this blue
sheet away.

365
00:16:18,885 --> 00:16:20,929
You have any idea why this is
in blue?

366
00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:23,437
Yeah, water.

367
00:16:23,493 --> 00:16:23,997
Thank you.

368
00:16:24,053 --> 00:16:25,357
That guy's sharp.

369
00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:26,861
That guy is sharp.

370
00:16:26,925 --> 00:16:27,677
Okay.

371
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:30,925
All right, second panel at the
very top of the page.

372
00:16:31,117 --> 00:16:34,931
Anticipation coupled with
gratification would certainly have

373
00:16:34,955 --> 00:16:36,759
been part of the family's thinking.

374
00:16:37,099 --> 00:16:38,755
In chapter seven, they build
the ark.

375
00:16:38,787 --> 00:16:39,667
They go inside the ark.

376
00:16:39,683 --> 00:16:40,323
Here come the animals.

377
00:16:40,371 --> 00:16:42,771
In chapter eight, they're
going through the flood event.

378
00:16:42,955 --> 00:16:45,719
Man, every verse here is just amazing.

379
00:16:48,059 --> 00:16:51,091
But now it's starting to come
to an end.

380
00:16:51,115 --> 00:16:56,835
Inside that ship, they would
have a lingering sense of sorrow

381
00:16:56,947 --> 00:17:00,119
for the loss of the masses,
the mass of humanity.

382
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:05,239
This had been no joy ride
inside that ark, as depicted on many

383
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:06,103
a nursery wall.

384
00:17:06,151 --> 00:17:07,927
You know, nursery walls
sometimes have pictures.

385
00:17:08,023 --> 00:17:10,199
Everybody's smiling, they're
on board this ark.

386
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,019
Well, the whole world's wiped out.

387
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,375
I'm not making fun of anybody,
but, I mean, sometimes we have lost

388
00:17:18,447 --> 00:17:21,979
sight of the drama of Noah's
flood in the ark.

389
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:29,425
By the way, cousin, we all
came from Ham Sham or Japheth.

390
00:17:29,537 --> 00:17:31,377
I talked to junior high when I
was in school.

391
00:17:31,433 --> 00:17:32,429
You know the story.

392
00:17:33,049 --> 00:17:35,777
Some of these guys have heard
98% of my stories.

393
00:17:35,873 --> 00:17:37,665
Sam Walker, you got a few more
to go, so don't.

394
00:17:37,697 --> 00:17:38,309
Don't.

395
00:17:39,369 --> 00:17:42,529
I used to tell the boys, the
kids, the girls in junior high department

396
00:17:42,569 --> 00:17:45,905
at Worth Baptist Church way
back In, I guess, 1980, somewhere

397
00:17:45,937 --> 00:17:50,097
in there, previous century,
I'd say, Ham, Sham and jam.

398
00:17:50,273 --> 00:17:51,441
No, no, no, no, no.

399
00:17:51,465 --> 00:17:52,008
I said, what?

400
00:17:52,088 --> 00:17:52,984
Ham Sham and Japheth.

401
00:17:53,016 --> 00:17:53,592
I said, no, no, no.

402
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,088
I said, what?

403
00:17:54,128 --> 00:17:55,112
Ham, Shem and Japheth.

404
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,588
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

405
00:17:57,488 --> 00:17:58,792
We all go back to Noah.

406
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,576
We all go back to Adam.

407
00:18:01,752 --> 00:18:03,816
There's only one race, the
human race.

408
00:18:03,992 --> 00:18:05,528
Evolution messes stuff up.

409
00:18:05,568 --> 00:18:06,632
It's so goofy.

410
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,152
He said, why do we look so different?

411
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,624
Well, first of all, just
common sense.

412
00:18:09,656 --> 00:18:11,068
You want to come home to yourself.

413
00:18:13,568 --> 00:18:14,744
I didn't want to go to.

414
00:18:14,816 --> 00:18:15,624
Got to go to a wedding.

415
00:18:15,656 --> 00:18:16,588
I look at myself.

416
00:18:17,248 --> 00:18:19,074
Well, it's a female version of me.

417
00:18:19,176 --> 00:18:25,739
Ooh, I'm glad I got that
version right there.

418
00:18:26,199 --> 00:18:27,583
She's not, but I am.

419
00:18:27,671 --> 00:18:29,899
But anyway, no.

420
00:18:30,199 --> 00:18:33,183
When the tower of Babel took
place, families scattered and they

421
00:18:33,191 --> 00:18:34,271
had to intermarry back time.

422
00:18:34,295 --> 00:18:38,511
The genetics were such
genetics stacked and God made all

423
00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:39,903
kinds of potential in us.

424
00:18:40,071 --> 00:18:41,519
We all go back to one blood.

425
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:42,959
Acts 17, verse 26.

426
00:18:42,999 --> 00:18:43,471
Okay, just.

427
00:18:43,495 --> 00:18:44,431
I'm throwing a lot of stuff at you.

428
00:18:44,455 --> 00:18:45,617
I'm trying to pull this in.

429
00:18:45,743 --> 00:18:48,333
All right, so they've been on
this ark, and you know, when they

430
00:18:48,341 --> 00:18:51,581
get on board that ark and God
shuts the door, I mean, how could

431
00:18:51,605 --> 00:18:53,129
you shut the door on the world?

432
00:18:54,229 --> 00:18:55,965
I'm glad I'm not making the decision.

433
00:18:56,037 --> 00:18:57,009
The Rapture.

434
00:18:57,349 --> 00:18:59,037
I'm glad it's in God's hands.

435
00:18:59,133 --> 00:19:02,749
In some ways, I'd love to get
out of here, but there's too many

436
00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:04,381
people I'm concerned about.

437
00:19:04,565 --> 00:19:05,949
We got midterms to great.

438
00:19:05,989 --> 00:19:08,637
No, but anyway, there's too
many people I'm concerned about.

439
00:19:08,693 --> 00:19:09,453
And whatever.

440
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,501
I'm glad because I couldn't
shut the door.

441
00:19:11,565 --> 00:19:13,849
And if God said to me, okay,
it's up to you.

442
00:19:14,229 --> 00:19:17,773
You say, when we're going to
have the Rapture, I wouldn't want

443
00:19:17,781 --> 00:19:18,781
to make that decision.

444
00:19:18,965 --> 00:19:20,609
God shut the door.

445
00:19:20,949 --> 00:19:22,941
And you know what they were
inside of?

446
00:19:23,125 --> 00:19:24,929
They were inside of a hope chest.

447
00:19:26,229 --> 00:19:28,941
That really wasn't a boat that
you went out in the water and the

448
00:19:28,965 --> 00:19:30,125
guys water skied some.

449
00:19:30,197 --> 00:19:31,181
No, no, no.

450
00:19:31,205 --> 00:19:32,253
That water was hot.

451
00:19:32,341 --> 00:19:34,349
There was lava coming up from underneath.

452
00:19:34,429 --> 00:19:35,613
There was stuff coming down.

453
00:19:35,701 --> 00:19:37,005
You say, where are you getting
all that stuff?

454
00:19:37,037 --> 00:19:40,249
Well, creation scientists show
us these things by the record.

455
00:19:40,369 --> 00:19:42,953
But number two, Psalm 18 and
Psalm 104.

456
00:19:43,041 --> 00:19:44,149
Don't turn there.

457
00:19:44,609 --> 00:19:46,149
Do that when you get home.

458
00:19:46,689 --> 00:19:52,409
It describes fiery stones
coming out of the sky, meteorites.

459
00:19:52,569 --> 00:19:53,401
Not just meteors.

460
00:19:53,465 --> 00:19:54,829
Meteorites hitting the earth.

461
00:19:55,569 --> 00:19:58,153
The Bible is an amazing book.

462
00:19:58,321 --> 00:20:01,189
The flood references are all
through it.

463
00:20:04,779 --> 00:20:07,507
Okay, so it's a floating hope chest.

464
00:20:07,683 --> 00:20:09,839
Look at chapter nine, verse one.

465
00:20:10,219 --> 00:20:11,839
Chapter nine, verse one.

466
00:20:13,339 --> 00:20:15,363
You go through what they went through.

467
00:20:15,451 --> 00:20:18,399
And I think this is so significant.

468
00:20:18,699 --> 00:20:20,467
We're gonna come back in a
minute to a passage.

469
00:20:20,483 --> 00:20:22,399
I'm just trying to get this
big picture to you.

470
00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:24,339
Look at chapter nine.

471
00:20:24,379 --> 00:20:26,319
Look at verse one after the
flood event.

472
00:20:26,619 --> 00:20:28,547
And they're getting off of the
ark, et cetera.

473
00:20:28,563 --> 00:20:29,235
They're leaving the ark.

474
00:20:29,267 --> 00:20:29,955
What's it saying?

475
00:20:30,027 --> 00:20:33,639
God bless Noah, Chapter nine,
verse one of Genesis.

476
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:37,311
God blessed Noah and his sons
and said to them, be fruitful and

477
00:20:37,335 --> 00:20:39,631
multiply and replenish the earth.

478
00:20:39,775 --> 00:20:41,779
Why would it say God blessed?

479
00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:47,839
If you're on an airplane and
that airplane goes down and several

480
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:50,111
of the people don't make it,
so to speak, and you're one of the

481
00:20:50,135 --> 00:20:54,499
few that make it, you have
what we call post traumatic stress.

482
00:20:56,199 --> 00:20:58,911
What if you changed seats with
somebody so you could be with your

483
00:20:58,935 --> 00:21:00,623
wife because your tickets were
separate, or.

484
00:21:00,711 --> 00:21:04,271
Or you changed places, you'd
be with your child and you survived,

485
00:21:04,335 --> 00:21:06,579
and you would not have had if
you hadn't changed seats.

486
00:21:06,919 --> 00:21:09,087
You can't go through something
like this.

487
00:21:09,143 --> 00:21:10,863
I'm not talking about the
terror of the ark.

488
00:21:10,911 --> 00:21:12,623
I don't think the ark was terrifying.

489
00:21:12,751 --> 00:21:17,071
I think once they kind of got
acclimated and so forth, and God

490
00:21:17,135 --> 00:21:18,303
knows what he's doing.

491
00:21:18,471 --> 00:21:25,343
If Noah's wife would have been
named Lara Stewart, there would have

492
00:21:25,351 --> 00:21:27,579
been more than two of each kind.

493
00:21:30,629 --> 00:21:32,221
We would have had them in our house.

494
00:21:32,325 --> 00:21:34,333
You know, you go to that ark
up there, they got their own living

495
00:21:34,381 --> 00:21:34,861
quarters.

496
00:21:34,925 --> 00:21:35,969
We would have animals.

497
00:21:36,309 --> 00:21:37,677
Can I get a couple more of these?

498
00:21:37,733 --> 00:21:39,329
My wife, she loves animals.

499
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:42,941
But anyway, some of you ladies
are like that too.

500
00:21:42,965 --> 00:21:45,069
But Anyway, look what he says.

501
00:21:45,189 --> 00:21:48,929
I think it's telling us these
are human vessels.

502
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:53,831
And when you really see what
they went through, they need to be

503
00:21:53,855 --> 00:21:54,583
touched by God.

504
00:21:54,631 --> 00:21:55,339
Amen.

505
00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:57,975
You know what Noah did as soon
as the flood was over?

506
00:21:58,047 --> 00:22:01,175
He took seven sets of clean
animals for food and for sacrifice.

507
00:22:01,287 --> 00:22:04,055
He built a big altar and
sacrificed unto the Lord.

508
00:22:04,247 --> 00:22:06,983
A picture of the coming great
sacrifice of Christ.

509
00:22:07,151 --> 00:22:08,967
Are you kind of feeling what
I'm saying?

510
00:22:09,103 --> 00:22:10,631
If you've studied this, it's
kind of like.

511
00:22:10,655 --> 00:22:11,143
Yes, yes.

512
00:22:11,191 --> 00:22:13,703
If you haven't studied this,
your mind might be getting blown

513
00:22:13,751 --> 00:22:16,139
right now because this is so amazing.

514
00:22:16,639 --> 00:22:21,601
Second Peter 3 says that this
is a warning that I've judged the

515
00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:23,153
world by water once.

516
00:22:23,321 --> 00:22:25,229
The next time it's going to be
by fire.

517
00:22:27,209 --> 00:22:28,549
It's astounding.

518
00:22:29,689 --> 00:22:30,801
God warns.

519
00:22:30,865 --> 00:22:32,273
Okay, now let's climb the mountain.

520
00:22:32,321 --> 00:22:33,041
Look at your notes there.

521
00:22:33,065 --> 00:22:36,545
Go back to chapter eight,
verse one through five in your notes.

522
00:22:36,577 --> 00:22:37,809
You can have your Bible open there.

523
00:22:37,849 --> 00:22:39,393
And God remembered Noah.

524
00:22:39,441 --> 00:22:42,449
The flood's been going on for
over a year.

525
00:22:42,569 --> 00:22:44,785
And also the Bible says, and
God remembered Noah.

526
00:22:44,817 --> 00:22:47,927
That didn't mean God went, oh,
I forgot about Noah.

527
00:22:47,943 --> 00:22:48,695
Where's Noah?

528
00:22:48,807 --> 00:22:50,551
Noah remembered him in action.

529
00:22:50,735 --> 00:22:52,455
Okay, I can tell my wife.

530
00:22:52,487 --> 00:22:54,579
Honey, I remembered it was
Valentine's Day.

531
00:22:56,399 --> 00:22:57,415
She said, yeah, yeah.

532
00:22:57,447 --> 00:23:00,135
Oh, good, yeah, she's waiting
for a card.

533
00:23:00,247 --> 00:23:04,699
Waiting for a certain kind of
rose that she likes and so forth.

534
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,751
No, by giving her things and
doing something, I'm showing her

535
00:23:07,775 --> 00:23:08,919
that I remembered.

536
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:10,903
I said Valentine's Day, not anniversary.

537
00:23:10,951 --> 00:23:12,465
No, that's coming up.

538
00:23:12,647 --> 00:23:15,261
My wife and I, it was great
marriage, but fireworks started the

539
00:23:15,285 --> 00:23:16,009
next day.

540
00:23:16,389 --> 00:23:17,789
Oh, we got married July 3rd.

541
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:20,701
But anyway, look at Genesis 8:1:5.

542
00:23:20,725 --> 00:23:22,045
And God remembered Noah.

543
00:23:22,157 --> 00:23:24,365
Not in the sense he'd
forgotten about him, but in the sense

544
00:23:24,397 --> 00:23:27,885
that he acted on his behalf in
what immediately follows the stopping

545
00:23:27,917 --> 00:23:28,413
of the flood.

546
00:23:28,461 --> 00:23:30,141
Now, we're going to camp out
here in a few moments.

547
00:23:30,205 --> 00:23:31,149
This is really big.

548
00:23:31,189 --> 00:23:32,129
Get ready.

549
00:23:32,709 --> 00:23:33,581
If you say right now.

550
00:23:33,605 --> 00:23:35,357
Brother Stewart, I know
everything you've said so far.

551
00:23:35,413 --> 00:23:36,413
Stay with me.

552
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:39,469
And every living thing and all
cattle was with him in the ark.

553
00:23:39,549 --> 00:23:44,399
And God made a wind to pass
over the earth because of the great

554
00:23:44,439 --> 00:23:46,527
variation in temperatures
occurring in the earth.

555
00:23:46,623 --> 00:23:51,535
Now, with no canopy moderating
the temperature, the firmament formerly

556
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:54,431
over the earth, uniformly over
the earth as it had been the pre

557
00:23:54,455 --> 00:23:54,911
flood world.

558
00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:56,799
Why they live to be 800 to 900
years old.

559
00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,899
Because of a lot superior
environment, a lot better.

560
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:02,751
The pre flood world was far
better than what we're living in

561
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:03,199
right now.

562
00:24:03,239 --> 00:24:06,175
Our lives have been shortened
because we don't need ADOLF Hitler's

563
00:24:06,207 --> 00:24:07,819
living five and 600 years.

564
00:24:09,369 --> 00:24:12,785
And by the way, during the
millennial kingdom, during the millennial

565
00:24:12,817 --> 00:24:14,513
kingdom, if the rapture
happens today, I don't know when

566
00:24:14,521 --> 00:24:17,249
the Rapture's going to happen,
but if it happened today, seven years

567
00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:21,201
from now, Christ is going to
rule the world out of Jerusalem and

568
00:24:21,225 --> 00:24:23,229
it's going to be like it was
in the pre flood world.

569
00:24:23,769 --> 00:24:27,025
If somebody dies at the age of
100, it'll be like a child dying.

570
00:24:27,137 --> 00:24:28,737
There'll be no more disease.

571
00:24:28,913 --> 00:24:31,829
If somebody dies, it'll be
basically an accident.

572
00:24:32,249 --> 00:24:34,057
We could be seven years away
from that.

573
00:24:34,153 --> 00:24:37,641
He doesn't totally lift the
curse, but he lifts it largely and

574
00:24:37,665 --> 00:24:39,897
he's ruling the world for a
thousand years.

575
00:24:39,953 --> 00:24:41,625
And you know what happens in
the thousand years?

576
00:24:41,697 --> 00:24:44,025
There's still a group that
rebels against him.

577
00:24:44,177 --> 00:24:47,129
God is showing us the problem
is not society.

578
00:24:47,289 --> 00:24:48,521
The problem's not outward.

579
00:24:48,585 --> 00:24:50,069
The problem's the heart.

580
00:24:50,609 --> 00:24:51,849
We're fallen.

581
00:24:52,009 --> 00:24:53,849
We have a self centered heart.

582
00:24:53,969 --> 00:24:56,585
If you give vent to that, you
get uglier and uglier and uglier

583
00:24:56,617 --> 00:24:57,669
in what you do.

584
00:24:58,529 --> 00:25:00,329
Christians can be kind of ugly
at times.

585
00:25:00,369 --> 00:25:00,617
Why?

586
00:25:00,673 --> 00:25:02,109
They still have that old nature.

587
00:25:02,509 --> 00:25:05,861
Thank God, when you die and go
to heaven, the rapture, that old

588
00:25:05,885 --> 00:25:06,969
nature is gone.

589
00:25:08,589 --> 00:25:12,645
The Bible says in Second Peter
talking about this heaven wherein

590
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:15,973
dwelleth righteousness, as
waterfall as the millennial kingdom

591
00:25:16,021 --> 00:25:19,209
is, it's still not heaven on earth.

592
00:25:19,629 --> 00:25:23,093
Okay, and folks, we'll talk
about this Wednesday night.

593
00:25:23,181 --> 00:25:24,981
Things are shaping up like
they never had before.

594
00:25:25,005 --> 00:25:26,661
You say Brother Stuart, you
say that every year.

595
00:25:26,765 --> 00:25:30,759
Yeah, but we're a year closer
than last year, man.

596
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,743
If you can't see what's
happening, they said the other day

597
00:25:32,751 --> 00:25:35,979
they think about naming Gaza,
Judea and Samaria.

598
00:25:38,239 --> 00:25:41,059
Don't read Ezekiel 37, you'll
be up all night.

599
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,519
Brother Gidney back there.

600
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:43,239
Okay, all right.

601
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:44,499
Anyway, keep going here.

602
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:46,215
And he acted on his behalf.

603
00:25:46,247 --> 00:25:47,943
And what immediately follows,
they stopping.

604
00:25:47,991 --> 00:25:49,431
And look what it says here.

605
00:25:49,615 --> 00:25:50,647
Come down to.

606
00:25:50,783 --> 00:25:51,351
Excuse me.

607
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:52,167
Verse 3.

608
00:25:52,303 --> 00:25:56,127
Beyond this, God especially
sent a wind to accelerate the process.

609
00:25:56,303 --> 00:25:59,247
Now when you read these
psalms, I told you Psalm 18, 104

610
00:25:59,303 --> 00:26:00,079
other passages.

611
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:03,119
What happened all of a sudden
is the ocean floors dropped.

612
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,175
God created the deep oceans
and he caused an uplift.

613
00:26:06,207 --> 00:26:07,215
The mountains came up.

614
00:26:07,287 --> 00:26:10,207
There were rolling hills in
the pre flood world.

615
00:26:10,263 --> 00:26:13,339
But because of the flood
event, you have these mountains now

616
00:26:13,719 --> 00:26:16,447
and then you have the ocean
floors drop and that's when the water

617
00:26:16,503 --> 00:26:21,711
with the wind begin to drain
off and the ark finally stops and

618
00:26:21,735 --> 00:26:23,939
it settles in as we're going
to talk about in a minute.

619
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:26,111
And look what it says here.

620
00:26:26,215 --> 00:26:27,023
Five words.

621
00:26:27,071 --> 00:26:29,583
Now if you don't have your
bible open, make sure you see what

622
00:26:29,591 --> 00:26:31,231
I got down here on the notes here.

623
00:26:31,255 --> 00:26:33,503
I got five words circled in blue.

624
00:26:33,631 --> 00:26:35,615
This is a really big deal.

625
00:26:35,687 --> 00:26:39,423
If you'll get this, it'll be
foundational to the point I want

626
00:26:39,431 --> 00:26:40,335
to make tonight.

627
00:26:40,447 --> 00:26:41,871
You say, what's your outline tonight?

628
00:26:41,935 --> 00:26:46,687
Climbing the mountain, camping
out of the mountain and claiming

629
00:26:46,703 --> 00:26:46,975
the mountain.

630
00:26:47,007 --> 00:26:47,535
That's my outline.

631
00:26:47,567 --> 00:26:48,127
Okay.

632
00:26:48,223 --> 00:26:48,575
Alright.

633
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:49,455
So here you go.

634
00:26:49,607 --> 00:26:50,959
If you read chapter eight.

635
00:26:50,999 --> 00:26:53,151
And God remembered Noah, verse
one and every living thing.

636
00:26:53,175 --> 00:26:55,407
And all the cattle that was
with him in the ark.

637
00:26:55,503 --> 00:26:58,079
And God made a wind to pass
over the earth and the waters.

638
00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,419
What assuaged.

639
00:27:01,479 --> 00:27:03,903
Now that's not that old of a word.

640
00:27:04,031 --> 00:27:05,775
You actually see it more than
you realize.

641
00:27:05,807 --> 00:27:09,711
Once you realize, once you see
it, it's sometimes spelled with a

642
00:27:09,735 --> 00:27:10,735
U instead of a W.

643
00:27:10,807 --> 00:27:11,599
Okay.

644
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:12,911
And I can give you instances.

645
00:27:12,975 --> 00:27:15,119
I got a sheet where it's
actually being used in different

646
00:27:15,159 --> 00:27:16,089
places today.

647
00:27:16,239 --> 00:27:17,653
But the word's very special.

648
00:27:17,741 --> 00:27:20,101
Your King James Bible is the
only one that has it.

649
00:27:20,285 --> 00:27:23,861
The other ones use a different
word and they blow it when they do

650
00:27:23,885 --> 00:27:24,213
it.

651
00:27:24,301 --> 00:27:26,597
Now you do know if you come
out with a new translation, it can't

652
00:27:26,613 --> 00:27:28,089
read the same as the King James.

653
00:27:28,589 --> 00:27:30,069
You have to change words.

654
00:27:30,229 --> 00:27:32,853
And you do know they're using
different copies of the Bible.

655
00:27:32,981 --> 00:27:35,477
That's one of the reasons why
it translates different in some places

656
00:27:35,573 --> 00:27:37,077
because it doesn't read the same.

657
00:27:37,213 --> 00:27:40,325
We believe the manuscripts by
the King James Old New Testament

658
00:27:40,357 --> 00:27:41,973
are the right ones for a lot
of reasons.

659
00:27:42,021 --> 00:27:43,541
Number one, we have almost
6,000 of them.

660
00:27:43,565 --> 00:27:47,015
They have around 50 or and
it's pieces, et cetera.

661
00:27:47,047 --> 00:27:50,679
So I don't want to chase that
rabbit with horns, but I'm just with

662
00:27:50,719 --> 00:27:51,207
antlers.

663
00:27:51,223 --> 00:27:53,287
But anyway, this word assuaged.

664
00:27:53,463 --> 00:27:55,879
The reason you have five
different words here.

665
00:27:55,919 --> 00:27:56,711
Look at your notes here.

666
00:27:56,735 --> 00:27:57,447
Just for a minute.

667
00:27:57,543 --> 00:28:02,295
Assuaged, stopped, restrained, returned.

668
00:28:02,327 --> 00:28:04,759
And down at the bottom of that
paragraph abated.

669
00:28:04,919 --> 00:28:08,135
God uses five different words.

670
00:28:08,327 --> 00:28:11,111
The reason your translators
use five different words, because

671
00:28:11,135 --> 00:28:12,779
there are five different
Hebrew words.

672
00:28:13,709 --> 00:28:16,709
God's got a big nail here and
you can't drive it with just one

673
00:28:16,749 --> 00:28:18,129
3 pound hammer hit.

674
00:28:18,909 --> 00:28:21,493
You couldn't drive if you had
one 10 pound sledge.

675
00:28:21,621 --> 00:28:24,741
God hits this nail five times
and leaves the dead to make sure

676
00:28:24,765 --> 00:28:25,541
we got it.

677
00:28:25,645 --> 00:28:27,141
What's he talking about?

678
00:28:27,325 --> 00:28:28,741
The flood waters?

679
00:28:28,805 --> 00:28:30,089
Picture his wrath.

680
00:28:32,429 --> 00:28:33,077
That's important.

681
00:28:33,133 --> 00:28:34,533
You want to understand water baptism.

682
00:28:34,581 --> 00:28:38,101
If you don't know that they
picture his wrath, that's what we

683
00:28:38,125 --> 00:28:39,929
need to be saved from is his wrath.

684
00:28:41,059 --> 00:28:43,755
It's the wrath of God that we
need to be saved from.

685
00:28:43,907 --> 00:28:48,011
Whatever Christ was suffering
on the cross, that's what we need

686
00:28:48,035 --> 00:28:49,211
to be saved from.

687
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:51,291
He wasn't suffering from a bad marriage.

688
00:28:51,355 --> 00:28:53,883
He wasn't suffering from
financial ruin.

689
00:28:54,011 --> 00:28:56,587
He wasn't suffering from some
terrible phone call from the doctor.

690
00:28:56,683 --> 00:28:58,491
He was suffering something far worse.

691
00:28:58,555 --> 00:29:00,639
The wrath of God for sins.

692
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:04,251
And thank God he took it all.

693
00:29:04,435 --> 00:29:06,479
Only God could take all of
God's wrath.

694
00:29:07,649 --> 00:29:10,269
By the way, I'll give you
another proof that we're not animals.

695
00:29:11,169 --> 00:29:13,577
The Bible says the blood of
bulls and goats cannot take away

696
00:29:13,633 --> 00:29:14,269
sin.

697
00:29:14,769 --> 00:29:15,753
See, we're not animals.

698
00:29:15,801 --> 00:29:17,881
It had to be a man to die for man.

699
00:29:18,065 --> 00:29:21,449
In fact, it had to be a son of
Adam without sin.

700
00:29:21,609 --> 00:29:22,361
Virgin birth.

701
00:29:22,425 --> 00:29:23,629
Virgin conception.

702
00:29:24,209 --> 00:29:26,469
Wow, what a book.

703
00:29:27,089 --> 00:29:28,921
Alright, now look at this assuage.

704
00:29:28,985 --> 00:29:30,857
What's the big deal about the
word assuage?

705
00:29:31,033 --> 00:29:33,309
It has a synonym.

706
00:29:34,099 --> 00:29:38,251
A synonym means a word that
means the same or very close to it.

707
00:29:38,355 --> 00:29:39,799
This one means the same.

708
00:29:40,339 --> 00:29:42,795
The word there means propitiation.

709
00:29:42,987 --> 00:29:43,291
Say.

710
00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:45,227
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
Propitiation, yeah.

711
00:29:45,243 --> 00:29:47,039
We named one of our kids propitiation.

712
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:49,999
It's a wonderful word.

713
00:29:50,579 --> 00:29:52,443
It's in First John and it's in Romans.

714
00:29:52,491 --> 00:29:54,059
If it's in Romans, you better know.

715
00:29:54,099 --> 00:29:56,699
Okay, it's in Romans and it's
in First John.

716
00:29:56,819 --> 00:29:58,999
Okay, for the sake of time.

717
00:29:59,589 --> 00:30:01,133
Okay, we won't turn there.

718
00:30:01,221 --> 00:30:04,493
But it says that Jesus Christ
is the propitiation.

719
00:30:04,541 --> 00:30:07,085
Not for our sins only, but for
the sins of the whole world.

720
00:30:07,237 --> 00:30:09,021
By the way, it was a worldwide
flood, you say?

721
00:30:09,045 --> 00:30:10,765
Well, I understood that it was
maybe local.

722
00:30:10,917 --> 00:30:12,529
Why would you build an ark?

723
00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:14,893
Why would you have all the
animals come?

724
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:17,741
And where's all this evidence
come from if it was local?

725
00:30:17,845 --> 00:30:22,077
Well, the Black Sea over
there, you know, over there underneath

726
00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:23,005
Russia.

727
00:30:23,117 --> 00:30:24,237
No, that's not the Black Sea.

728
00:30:24,253 --> 00:30:25,649
It was a worldwide flood.

729
00:30:26,939 --> 00:30:27,875
You go around Dr.

730
00:30:27,907 --> 00:30:30,931
Ball down there, these other
scientists, you have the same limestone

731
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,643
bed going all the way across.

732
00:30:32,731 --> 00:30:36,419
The white cliffs of Dover are
part of what we have out here called

733
00:30:36,459 --> 00:30:37,411
dinosaur highway.

734
00:30:37,475 --> 00:30:41,171
This limestone out here, boy,
we can talk about that for a while.

735
00:30:41,195 --> 00:30:43,187
I told you I'd like to come
back in one of my nine lives.

736
00:30:43,243 --> 00:30:44,227
I'd like to come back as a.

737
00:30:44,283 --> 00:30:46,599
I'd like to really come back
as a flood geologist.

738
00:30:47,499 --> 00:30:48,691
But anyway, let's move on.

739
00:30:48,715 --> 00:30:48,947
Okay?

740
00:30:48,963 --> 00:30:53,979
The word propitiation means
that God has been propitious, propitiated.

741
00:30:54,399 --> 00:30:58,311
Now, I know I've used this
before and I've tried to use Other

742
00:30:58,335 --> 00:31:00,299
illustrations, they just have
the same punch.

743
00:31:00,639 --> 00:31:01,379
Stop.

744
00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:02,375
That's a clock.

745
00:31:02,407 --> 00:31:02,695
Here.

746
00:31:02,767 --> 00:31:04,539
They just don't have the same punch.

747
00:31:07,439 --> 00:31:12,135
Brother Crawford gets a brand
new, beautiful.

748
00:31:12,247 --> 00:31:13,191
Don't say anything.

749
00:31:13,255 --> 00:31:13,543
I know.

750
00:31:13,551 --> 00:31:14,855
They have an exhaust manifold leak.

751
00:31:14,887 --> 00:31:15,767
Don't say anything.

752
00:31:15,943 --> 00:31:18,279
Gets a brand new ram pickup truck.

753
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:20,619
Just like what Abraham drove
after Mount Moriah.

754
00:31:22,449 --> 00:31:23,449
Some of you will get that later.

755
00:31:23,489 --> 00:31:23,929
Okay?

756
00:31:24,009 --> 00:31:24,857
Remember the ram?

757
00:31:24,953 --> 00:31:26,749
Caught in the thickets by his horns.

758
00:31:27,089 --> 00:31:28,553
He killed it instead of his son.

759
00:31:28,601 --> 00:31:29,049
Okay.

760
00:31:29,129 --> 00:31:30,985
Boy, that's a mountain.

761
00:31:31,177 --> 00:31:32,761
I saw it was preached on
Wednesday night.

762
00:31:32,785 --> 00:31:34,537
So I just said, I'll stay away
from it, okay?

763
00:31:34,633 --> 00:31:36,025
I'll give you the handout, whatever.

764
00:31:36,057 --> 00:31:40,873
But, hey, a brand new Ram
pickup truck.

765
00:31:40,921 --> 00:31:43,737
He says, brother Stewart comes
out to school to preach in chapel.

766
00:31:43,913 --> 00:31:45,017
I said, yeah, boy.

767
00:31:45,033 --> 00:31:45,321
Where's.

768
00:31:45,385 --> 00:31:45,881
How y'all.

769
00:31:45,945 --> 00:31:47,571
Brother Stuart take it for a spin.

770
00:31:47,745 --> 00:31:52,415
When I come back 30 minutes
later, it's on its rims, the windshield's

771
00:31:52,447 --> 00:31:54,063
busted out, it's dented up.

772
00:31:54,231 --> 00:31:57,135
I mean, it sounds like it's
got more than a manifold exhaust.

773
00:31:57,167 --> 00:31:58,335
Tick, tick, tick, tick sound.

774
00:31:58,367 --> 00:32:00,415
I mean, it's like what I said.

775
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:02,655
He said, what have you done to
my truck?

776
00:32:02,767 --> 00:32:08,319
He's mad, he's hurt, he's
chagrined, he's scared.

777
00:32:08,479 --> 00:32:09,455
That guy's crazy.

778
00:32:09,487 --> 00:32:10,223
What have you done?

779
00:32:10,311 --> 00:32:11,739
I said, what's your problem?

780
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:14,019
Don't you have insurance?

781
00:32:14,529 --> 00:32:16,329
Yeah, they'll fix it.

782
00:32:16,449 --> 00:32:18,789
And insurance would either fix
it or replace it.

783
00:32:19,329 --> 00:32:21,749
But what about how he feels
towards me?

784
00:32:22,369 --> 00:32:23,449
I've offended him.

785
00:32:23,489 --> 00:32:24,189
Amen.

786
00:32:27,329 --> 00:32:28,789
I've offended him.

787
00:32:30,129 --> 00:32:33,337
Sin is not just an offense to
God, as we talked about this morning,

788
00:32:33,393 --> 00:32:35,577
because we violated the God of
the universe.

789
00:32:35,673 --> 00:32:37,069
You know, he's in charge.

790
00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:41,189
How far did you get when you
violated your dad growing up?

791
00:32:42,309 --> 00:32:43,421
I didn't get any.

792
00:32:43,525 --> 00:32:45,197
I lost ground, okay?

793
00:32:45,293 --> 00:32:46,689
I didn't get anywhere.

794
00:32:47,749 --> 00:32:49,197
This is our Father.

795
00:32:49,293 --> 00:32:50,449
This is God.

796
00:32:50,869 --> 00:32:54,109
But you know what I told you
this morning?

797
00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:57,277
When we sin, we're not just
breaking God's law, we're going against

798
00:32:57,333 --> 00:32:58,209
his nature.

799
00:32:58,629 --> 00:33:00,569
We're rubbing God the wrong way.

800
00:33:00,949 --> 00:33:01,889
Amen.

801
00:33:03,109 --> 00:33:04,329
Well, guess what?

802
00:33:05,029 --> 00:33:08,381
When the flood was over, which
pictured the wrath of God for the

803
00:33:08,405 --> 00:33:11,999
sins of the world, God had exhausted.

804
00:33:12,499 --> 00:33:13,959
He had poured out.

805
00:33:14,339 --> 00:33:17,199
By way of picture, he had
flooded the whole Earth.

806
00:33:18,739 --> 00:33:21,243
And you say, why did it affect
the whole universe, folks?

807
00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:23,599
The first three days, all
there was was the Earth.

808
00:33:24,419 --> 00:33:25,755
Read Genesis.

809
00:33:25,947 --> 00:33:28,283
The first three days, all
there was was the Earth.

810
00:33:28,411 --> 00:33:31,035
He didn't make the sun, moon
and stars and planets, etc.

811
00:33:31,067 --> 00:33:33,787
Until the fourth day, when he
made the sun and the moon.

812
00:33:33,883 --> 00:33:35,019
He didn't say there's the sun.

813
00:33:35,059 --> 00:33:35,515
There's the moon.

814
00:33:35,547 --> 00:33:37,019
He said the greater light to
rule today.

815
00:33:37,059 --> 00:33:37,283
The.

816
00:33:37,331 --> 00:33:38,419
The lesser light to rule the night.

817
00:33:38,459 --> 00:33:39,955
They were made for the earth.

818
00:33:40,147 --> 00:33:41,379
He's describing the sun.

819
00:33:41,419 --> 00:33:43,075
The greater light to rule the day.

820
00:33:43,227 --> 00:33:46,279
He's describing the sun and
the moon being made for the earth.

821
00:33:48,299 --> 00:33:49,359
We're it.

822
00:33:49,899 --> 00:33:51,635
He created the earth to be inhabited.

823
00:33:51,747 --> 00:33:52,259
We're it.

824
00:33:52,299 --> 00:33:53,203
This is it.

825
00:33:53,371 --> 00:33:56,159
All the universe is for us.

826
00:33:56,539 --> 00:33:58,359
Well, that's another one we
could chase.

827
00:33:59,499 --> 00:34:04,139
You know, Genesis is a pretty
amazing book if we just get it and

828
00:34:04,179 --> 00:34:04,875
read it.

829
00:34:05,027 --> 00:34:06,347
He started with one man.

830
00:34:06,403 --> 00:34:07,531
What does that tell you?

831
00:34:07,635 --> 00:34:10,907
If God set the precedent
making one man, and from that one

832
00:34:10,963 --> 00:34:14,091
man making a woman, why did he
take the woman and make it from the

833
00:34:14,115 --> 00:34:14,679
man?

834
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:19,679
Because if she comes out of
Adam, then she can get saved.

835
00:34:20,019 --> 00:34:22,219
Because Adam, Eve was deceived.

836
00:34:22,299 --> 00:34:23,995
Her eyes weren't open until
Adam ate.

837
00:34:24,107 --> 00:34:24,875
Read it.

838
00:34:25,027 --> 00:34:26,011
Go to Timothy.

839
00:34:26,075 --> 00:34:26,715
Paul tells.

840
00:34:26,747 --> 00:34:29,963
Tells you that tells Timothy
that Eve was deceived, but Adam knew

841
00:34:29,971 --> 00:34:30,411
what he was doing.

842
00:34:30,435 --> 00:34:34,359
By one man sent into the
world, not by one couple.

843
00:34:34,859 --> 00:34:36,467
When he ate, he doomed us all.

844
00:34:36,523 --> 00:34:36,931
Why?

845
00:34:37,035 --> 00:34:38,451
So one person gets out of this mess.

846
00:34:38,475 --> 00:34:41,159
If God would have made 10
Adams, we need 10 Saviors.

847
00:34:41,659 --> 00:34:43,107
What are we going to do with God?

848
00:34:43,203 --> 00:34:44,595
God can't become God, woman.

849
00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:45,879
He's masculine.

850
00:34:46,619 --> 00:34:48,519
The Bible makes sense.

851
00:34:49,499 --> 00:34:50,979
It's consistent.

852
00:34:51,139 --> 00:34:53,119
You couldn't come up with a
better plan.

853
00:34:54,299 --> 00:34:57,203
That's why Luke's genealogy
goes all the way back to Adam to

854
00:34:57,211 --> 00:34:58,269
make sure you get it.

855
00:34:58,419 --> 00:34:59,305
Matthew to Abraham.

856
00:34:59,337 --> 00:35:01,305
Because he's got to be a Jew,
he's got to be in the Davidic royal

857
00:35:01,337 --> 00:35:02,509
line, etc.

858
00:35:03,009 --> 00:35:06,313
God was completely satisfied.

859
00:35:06,441 --> 00:35:08,829
His wrath had been exhausted.

860
00:35:14,209 --> 00:35:15,305
Are the young ones.

861
00:35:15,417 --> 00:35:17,029
There's young kids in here,
aren't there?

862
00:35:17,329 --> 00:35:20,057
I was going to tell you I
exhausted my dad's wrath so I wouldn't

863
00:35:20,073 --> 00:35:20,665
get a spanking.

864
00:35:20,697 --> 00:35:23,385
But I'm not going to go there
because we don't want to have parenting

865
00:35:23,417 --> 00:35:23,673
problems.

866
00:35:23,721 --> 00:35:26,119
Early in the ministry, I would
tell these stories.

867
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:29,111
You know, you're preaching
four or five times a week and you

868
00:35:29,135 --> 00:35:30,359
know you're just getting started.

869
00:35:30,399 --> 00:35:32,119
You're starting a church,
you're preaching four or five times

870
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:32,679
a week.

871
00:35:32,799 --> 00:35:34,487
You can't keep buying
illustrations out of books.

872
00:35:34,503 --> 00:35:35,815
You got to come up with your
own illustrations.

873
00:35:35,847 --> 00:35:37,591
I started telling stories from
my childhood.

874
00:35:37,735 --> 00:35:39,959
One of these days the mothers
come up and said, preacher.

875
00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:40,599
I said, what?

876
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,659
They said, stop telling these
stories from your childhood.

877
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:46,727
I said, why?

878
00:35:46,863 --> 00:35:49,059
Because our kids are going out
and doing them.

879
00:35:49,919 --> 00:35:51,259
I said, duh.

880
00:35:52,729 --> 00:35:54,561
So I have to be careful when I
tell those stories.

881
00:35:54,625 --> 00:35:56,897
This word Assuage is so big.

882
00:35:57,033 --> 00:36:01,841
God was saying, I'm satisfied
I've been propitiated.

883
00:36:01,905 --> 00:36:05,041
Now expiations take care of
the damage.

884
00:36:05,185 --> 00:36:07,265
The insurance would fix the
truck and replace it.

885
00:36:07,337 --> 00:36:09,361
But who's going to restore
goodwill between me and him?

886
00:36:09,385 --> 00:36:10,433
That word's important.

887
00:36:10,601 --> 00:36:13,425
You miss the Christmas story
in Luke 2 if you miss that word,

888
00:36:13,457 --> 00:36:14,241
goodwill.

889
00:36:14,385 --> 00:36:17,871
When the angel said goodwill
toward man, it meant vertically.

890
00:36:18,025 --> 00:36:19,539
Christ is the peace offering.

891
00:36:19,619 --> 00:36:20,803
He's a reconciler.

892
00:36:20,851 --> 00:36:23,619
It's not peace among good men
with whom God is pleased, like these

893
00:36:23,659 --> 00:36:24,759
new translations.

894
00:36:25,179 --> 00:36:26,723
It's goodwill from God.

895
00:36:26,771 --> 00:36:31,319
Jesus is the peace offering
and it restores goodwill.

896
00:36:31,739 --> 00:36:34,199
It's just as if I'd never sinned.

897
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:36,259
I'm Kim out here for just a second.

898
00:36:36,299 --> 00:36:37,395
This is where we got to get to.

899
00:36:37,467 --> 00:36:38,279
Okay?

900
00:36:41,099 --> 00:36:43,599
We have some baggage in our
life from our past.

901
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:46,111
We've all said things we
shouldn't have said.

902
00:36:46,215 --> 00:36:48,127
We've all done things we
shouldn't have done.

903
00:36:48,263 --> 00:36:50,159
We've all whatever and so forth.

904
00:36:50,319 --> 00:36:51,919
And let me tell you something.

905
00:36:51,959 --> 00:36:53,391
It's not just what you've done.

906
00:36:53,415 --> 00:36:54,495
It's what you haven't done.

907
00:36:54,647 --> 00:36:56,399
I was here with Brother Stone
growing up.

908
00:36:56,439 --> 00:37:01,651
I was saved at the age of 11,
and I became very convicted at the

909
00:37:01,665 --> 00:37:04,671
age of 19, 18 and 19 that I
had not been the witness I should

910
00:37:04,695 --> 00:37:05,295
have been.

911
00:37:05,447 --> 00:37:07,855
I didn't get involved in a lot
of stuff young people got involved

912
00:37:07,887 --> 00:37:10,473
in back then, but I wasn't the witness.

913
00:37:10,521 --> 00:37:10,969
Should have been.

914
00:37:11,009 --> 00:37:11,817
I had a lot of light.

915
00:37:11,873 --> 00:37:13,961
I could have led a lot of
people to Christ in junior high and

916
00:37:13,985 --> 00:37:14,789
high school.

917
00:37:15,729 --> 00:37:18,041
And God's going to hold us
accountable for the light that we

918
00:37:18,065 --> 00:37:19,269
had we didn't use.

919
00:37:20,449 --> 00:37:22,041
So I got a lot I could be hung
up on.

920
00:37:22,065 --> 00:37:22,521
But you know what?

921
00:37:22,545 --> 00:37:24,509
God can turn that to a good motivation.

922
00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:27,589
I decided I didn't like to get
in front of people and talk.

923
00:37:28,129 --> 00:37:29,149
I'm shy.

924
00:37:30,369 --> 00:37:31,789
I'm introverted.

925
00:37:32,689 --> 00:37:34,233
I'm very reserved.

926
00:37:34,281 --> 00:37:34,869
I.

927
00:37:35,369 --> 00:37:39,617
I don't like to make funny
faces or do goofy things unless you're

928
00:37:39,633 --> 00:37:39,921
out at school.

929
00:37:39,945 --> 00:37:41,189
I'm trying to keep you awake.

930
00:37:43,289 --> 00:37:46,657
When I got called to preach,
God unloosed my tongue.

931
00:37:46,833 --> 00:37:47,905
I threw clocks out.

932
00:37:47,977 --> 00:37:50,833
But anyway, so what I'm saying
to you is this.

933
00:37:50,921 --> 00:37:52,017
This is so important.

934
00:37:52,153 --> 00:37:54,801
You're not going to climb a
mountain to higher level if you let

935
00:37:54,825 --> 00:37:56,749
your past pull you down.

936
00:37:58,169 --> 00:37:59,509
It's amazing.

937
00:37:59,929 --> 00:38:01,203
It's amazing.

938
00:38:01,401 --> 00:38:03,659
We're going to see a word here
in a little bit.

939
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:09,579
But God said, when that ark
stopped, God made a statement.

940
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:15,871
And in the book of Hebrews, it
talks about how we have to labor

941
00:38:15,935 --> 00:38:17,499
to enter into that rest.

942
00:38:19,319 --> 00:38:20,799
The ark is such a picture.

943
00:38:20,879 --> 00:38:22,047
Okay, now watch this.

944
00:38:22,103 --> 00:38:23,711
Look down here as quickly get these.

945
00:38:23,815 --> 00:38:26,175
So that word assuage is
extremely important.

946
00:38:26,327 --> 00:38:27,423
Look that up.

947
00:38:27,591 --> 00:38:34,239
The word also stopped,
restrained, returned, abated five

948
00:38:34,279 --> 00:38:34,527
times.

949
00:38:34,583 --> 00:38:38,015
God said, it's over, it's
over, it's over, it's over.

950
00:38:38,087 --> 00:38:40,019
What did Christ say just
before he died?

951
00:38:40,439 --> 00:38:44,419
It is finished.

952
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:47,999
And the only reason he stayed
in the grave for three days and three

953
00:38:48,039 --> 00:38:50,739
nights was to make sure you
knew he was dead.

954
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:54,867
Because we can't prove the
resurrection in if he's not dead.

955
00:38:55,043 --> 00:38:57,839
He could have died and three
minutes later came back.

956
00:38:58,139 --> 00:39:00,195
But he stayed dead for three
days and three nights.

957
00:39:00,227 --> 00:39:01,923
Committed your sins to the
grave, et cetera.

958
00:39:01,971 --> 00:39:03,155
Left the grave closed behind.

959
00:39:03,227 --> 00:39:04,595
He left the grave close behind.

960
00:39:04,667 --> 00:39:06,099
He left the grave closed behind.

961
00:39:06,219 --> 00:39:07,763
He left the grave closed behind.

962
00:39:07,851 --> 00:39:10,839
To show you that your past is
in the grave.

963
00:39:11,819 --> 00:39:14,839
When we get to heaven, God's
not going to have a chip on his shoulder.

964
00:39:16,619 --> 00:39:17,839
All right, come in.

965
00:39:20,069 --> 00:39:21,021
I'll look at you in a minute.

966
00:39:21,045 --> 00:39:22,009
Just hold on.

967
00:39:23,589 --> 00:39:25,969
Boy, you were something else
on earth, buddy.

968
00:39:28,549 --> 00:39:29,261
Get in here.

969
00:39:29,285 --> 00:39:30,413
I'll think about it later.

970
00:39:30,501 --> 00:39:31,129
No.

971
00:39:31,589 --> 00:39:35,965
There's rejoicing in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth.

972
00:39:36,077 --> 00:39:38,333
By the way, the Old Testament
saints weren't there yet.

973
00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:39,917
And it says among the angels.

974
00:39:40,013 --> 00:39:43,501
I think it's a triune God
rejoicing who ran out to meet their

975
00:39:43,525 --> 00:39:44,609
prodigal son.

976
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:46,311
Who was Jesus talking about?

977
00:39:46,335 --> 00:39:47,499
Our Heavenly Father.

978
00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:49,479
You want to make God excited?

979
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:51,099
Get somebody saved.

980
00:39:51,919 --> 00:39:54,779
How many times God's been
excited about this church?

981
00:39:55,199 --> 00:39:57,751
You know how many people are
getting saved through your missions

982
00:39:57,815 --> 00:39:58,419
program?

983
00:39:58,719 --> 00:39:59,659
Amen.

984
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:03,179
Guys, we're not one of God's hobbies.

985
00:40:03,759 --> 00:40:05,415
This is what God's doing.

986
00:40:05,567 --> 00:40:06,439
Amen.

987
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:07,751
And you're part of it.

988
00:40:07,855 --> 00:40:08,967
We have embraced with God.

989
00:40:08,983 --> 00:40:09,719
Now let's skim through.

990
00:40:09,759 --> 00:40:11,619
Let me get to something I want
to get to real quick.

991
00:40:12,989 --> 00:40:14,389
It says in verse four.

992
00:40:14,429 --> 00:40:15,329
Look at it.

993
00:40:16,509 --> 00:40:17,749
Chapter number eight.

994
00:40:17,789 --> 00:40:18,709
Go back to chapter eight.

995
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:19,861
I had to get those words in there.

996
00:40:19,885 --> 00:40:20,549
Look at verse four.

997
00:40:20,589 --> 00:40:21,141
And the ark.

998
00:40:21,205 --> 00:40:29,909
What rested there is a rest in
Jesus Christ by nature.

999
00:40:29,989 --> 00:40:35,049
We are performance based
acceptance in our thinking.

1000
00:40:35,869 --> 00:40:39,619
We're raised that way to some
degree for different reasons because

1001
00:40:39,659 --> 00:40:40,947
our parents caught that.

1002
00:40:41,003 --> 00:40:41,411
Caught that.

1003
00:40:41,435 --> 00:40:42,131
It goes all the way back.

1004
00:40:42,155 --> 00:40:44,067
What did Adam and Eve do after
they sinned?

1005
00:40:44,163 --> 00:40:46,387
They hid in the trees, they
covered themselves with fig leaves,

1006
00:40:46,403 --> 00:40:46,883
etc.

1007
00:40:46,931 --> 00:40:49,923
Why did Cain offer up the
sacrifice trying to work his way

1008
00:40:50,011 --> 00:40:50,835
into salvation?

1009
00:40:50,947 --> 00:40:54,307
Religion is us trying to work
our way into acceptance.

1010
00:40:54,483 --> 00:40:56,359
Christianity is not a religion.

1011
00:40:57,259 --> 00:40:59,479
It's not a Religion, It's a relationship.

1012
00:41:00,619 --> 00:41:03,475
They were in fellowship with
God until they sinned.

1013
00:41:03,507 --> 00:41:05,953
And the word death is separation.

1014
00:41:06,091 --> 00:41:08,005
They died spiritually, they
died relationally.

1015
00:41:08,037 --> 00:41:11,209
At that moment, they lost
fellowship with God.

1016
00:41:12,829 --> 00:41:14,449
How much does this piano cost?

1017
00:41:19,229 --> 00:41:20,569
Listen to the difference.

1018
00:41:24,189 --> 00:41:25,369
Pretty good, huh?

1019
00:41:28,189 --> 00:41:30,809
This is what Adam and Eve
sound like in the Garden of Eden

1020
00:41:31,709 --> 00:41:33,049
after they sinned.

1021
00:41:34,849 --> 00:41:36,345
We're out of fellowship with God.

1022
00:41:36,377 --> 00:41:37,849
We've got a fallen nature.

1023
00:41:38,009 --> 00:41:39,257
We're not descending.

1024
00:41:39,353 --> 00:41:40,201
We're separated.

1025
00:41:40,265 --> 00:41:44,969
Now God restores that you go
from Brr.

1026
00:41:45,049 --> 00:41:45,869
Mmm.

1027
00:41:46,689 --> 00:41:48,345
We're in complete harmony with God.

1028
00:41:48,377 --> 00:41:48,713
Why?

1029
00:41:48,801 --> 00:41:50,069
Because we're in Christ.

1030
00:41:51,489 --> 00:41:54,189
Noah went through the flood.

1031
00:41:54,689 --> 00:41:57,193
Noah went through the wrath of God.

1032
00:41:57,321 --> 00:41:59,869
Everybody in that day went
through the wrath.

1033
00:42:00,369 --> 00:42:01,513
Everybody went through the flood.

1034
00:42:01,561 --> 00:42:02,349
Everybody.

1035
00:42:03,019 --> 00:42:05,159
Everybody went through the flood.

1036
00:42:07,419 --> 00:42:12,851
Outside the ark or in the ark,
who was better off?

1037
00:42:13,035 --> 00:42:14,467
Those inside the ark.

1038
00:42:14,563 --> 00:42:15,399
Amen.

1039
00:42:17,019 --> 00:42:19,139
Everybody's going to go
through the wrath of God.

1040
00:42:19,299 --> 00:42:22,559
Either outside of Christ or in Christ.

1041
00:42:23,019 --> 00:42:24,879
Aren't you glad tonight you're
in Christ?

1042
00:42:25,899 --> 00:42:30,941
You see, when you got saved,
Christ's life and his death, his

1043
00:42:30,965 --> 00:42:33,049
burial, resurrection was
applied to you.

1044
00:42:33,749 --> 00:42:37,533
And sometimes we need to
forgive ourself the way God's forgiven

1045
00:42:37,581 --> 00:42:38,169
us.

1046
00:42:38,949 --> 00:42:39,889
Amen.

1047
00:42:41,829 --> 00:42:44,909
We finally come to the point
where we realize you can't earn salvation.

1048
00:42:45,069 --> 00:42:46,929
But then we try to earn God's favor.

1049
00:42:47,669 --> 00:42:48,221
I'm going to.

1050
00:42:48,245 --> 00:42:51,005
I gotta tithe because I feel I
didn't put.

1051
00:42:51,077 --> 00:42:52,605
You know, I feel bad because I
didn't tithe.

1052
00:42:52,637 --> 00:42:54,191
God loves you whether you
tithe or not.

1053
00:42:54,365 --> 00:42:55,291
Should you tithe?

1054
00:42:55,355 --> 00:42:56,091
Absolutely.

1055
00:42:56,155 --> 00:42:58,683
But not because you want God
to smile on you.

1056
00:42:58,851 --> 00:43:00,619
We're co laborers with God.

1057
00:43:00,779 --> 00:43:02,199
This is our work.

1058
00:43:02,899 --> 00:43:04,235
This is our work.

1059
00:43:04,387 --> 00:43:05,659
We found out when God was doing.

1060
00:43:05,699 --> 00:43:07,179
We said, God, can I get on board?

1061
00:43:07,219 --> 00:43:08,139
God says, get on board.

1062
00:43:08,179 --> 00:43:08,999
Let's go.

1063
00:43:09,379 --> 00:43:10,155
Amen.

1064
00:43:10,267 --> 00:43:11,163
What's the work?

1065
00:43:11,251 --> 00:43:15,199
Reaching people, getting them
saved, discipling them, etc.

1066
00:43:16,019 --> 00:43:16,879
Yes.

1067
00:43:17,459 --> 00:43:19,211
All right, so keep flowing here.

1068
00:43:19,315 --> 00:43:19,537
I.

1069
00:43:19,563 --> 00:43:20,405
I've got to hurry.

1070
00:43:20,517 --> 00:43:21,413
These things are flying.

1071
00:43:21,461 --> 00:43:22,917
You know what Henry Morris says?

1072
00:43:23,053 --> 00:43:26,453
Henry Morris says, when the
ark rested, notice the date.

1073
00:43:26,581 --> 00:43:29,413
If you take their secular
calendar the Jews had back then,

1074
00:43:29,501 --> 00:43:32,117
and you bring in the religious
calendar that God gave later under

1075
00:43:32,173 --> 00:43:32,629
Moses.

1076
00:43:32,709 --> 00:43:36,405
Henry Morris and others tell
you that was the same day that Christ

1077
00:43:36,477 --> 00:43:37,929
resurrected from the dead.

1078
00:43:39,149 --> 00:43:41,049
What's the resurrection prove?

1079
00:43:41,789 --> 00:43:43,029
God has been appeased.

1080
00:43:43,109 --> 00:43:44,421
He's been assuaged.

1081
00:43:44,565 --> 00:43:45,917
He's been satisfied.

1082
00:43:46,053 --> 00:43:47,649
The wrath is gone.

1083
00:43:48,069 --> 00:43:49,757
You know what Romans 8 says?

1084
00:43:49,893 --> 00:43:52,769
He spared not his own son.

1085
00:43:53,269 --> 00:43:54,925
He that hath a son hath life.

1086
00:43:54,997 --> 00:43:57,325
He that hath not the son of
God hath not life, but the wrath

1087
00:43:57,357 --> 00:43:57,597
of God.

1088
00:43:57,613 --> 00:43:58,445
Abideth on him.

1089
00:43:58,517 --> 00:44:01,453
Ephesians and Colossians tell
us, if you do these certain sins,

1090
00:44:01,501 --> 00:44:02,957
the wrath of God's on us.

1091
00:44:03,093 --> 00:44:07,453
You know what Jesus took on
the cross, all the wrath of God.

1092
00:44:07,581 --> 00:44:09,389
He wasn't just showing us how
ugly sin was.

1093
00:44:09,429 --> 00:44:10,269
And it does that.

1094
00:44:10,309 --> 00:44:12,039
He wasn't just showing us how
much God loves us.

1095
00:44:12,109 --> 00:44:14,467
If that's all he's doing, we
can't get saved.

1096
00:44:14,643 --> 00:44:17,123
He had to be the greater ark.

1097
00:44:17,251 --> 00:44:18,851
He had to go through the wrath
of God.

1098
00:44:18,915 --> 00:44:20,959
Now, let me give you a thought
just for a second.

1099
00:44:21,579 --> 00:44:22,979
Go buy Cracker Barrel.

1100
00:44:23,059 --> 00:44:23,987
Brother Reed in here.

1101
00:44:24,043 --> 00:44:25,331
Your father in here.

1102
00:44:25,515 --> 00:44:26,559
He's outside.

1103
00:44:27,099 --> 00:44:30,595
Go buy Cracker Barrel on the
way home tonight or tomorrow.

1104
00:44:30,627 --> 00:44:33,379
And get a pack of clove gum.

1105
00:44:33,539 --> 00:44:35,331
I want you to have something
to chew on.

1106
00:44:35,515 --> 00:44:36,883
Say, why clove gum?

1107
00:44:37,011 --> 00:44:39,479
It was probably one of the
five ingredients.

1108
00:44:40,339 --> 00:44:44,459
Incense that they used in the
tabernacle, the incense they burned.

1109
00:44:44,539 --> 00:44:46,555
Probably stacty.

1110
00:44:46,667 --> 00:44:49,355
Probably the little nails,
what it means, probably cloves.

1111
00:44:49,547 --> 00:44:50,603
You need to meditate.

1112
00:44:50,651 --> 00:44:51,719
Chew on this.

1113
00:44:53,059 --> 00:44:55,083
It's just as if I'd never sinned.

1114
00:44:55,131 --> 00:44:56,299
Christ did it all.

1115
00:44:56,419 --> 00:44:58,395
And it says, he came to arrest.

1116
00:44:58,547 --> 00:44:59,959
He came to arrest.

1117
00:45:00,419 --> 00:45:02,491
Christ is completely satisfied.

1118
00:45:02,555 --> 00:45:03,499
God's satisfied.

1119
00:45:03,579 --> 00:45:04,747
The Father's satisfied.

1120
00:45:04,843 --> 00:45:06,265
You don't have to perform.

1121
00:45:06,427 --> 00:45:09,421
I tithe because I want to.

1122
00:45:09,605 --> 00:45:10,889
It's my work.

1123
00:45:11,269 --> 00:45:12,397
God gave me everything.

1124
00:45:12,453 --> 00:45:14,685
People say, well, the tithe's
not for now.

1125
00:45:14,837 --> 00:45:17,757
You know, the Bible says,
David said, we give God but his own.

1126
00:45:17,813 --> 00:45:19,821
We can't give God anything he
didn't give us first.

1127
00:45:20,005 --> 00:45:23,089
If God didn't require 10%, you
couldn't give an offering.

1128
00:45:23,509 --> 00:45:24,861
It's all God's.

1129
00:45:25,005 --> 00:45:27,529
I have nothing that God didn't
give me first.

1130
00:45:27,909 --> 00:45:28,769
Amen.

1131
00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:33,837
So when I am required to give
10% anything, I give over, that's

1132
00:45:33,853 --> 00:45:34,419
an offering.

1133
00:45:34,549 --> 00:45:35,495
See how it works?

1134
00:45:35,607 --> 00:45:36,583
A lot of silly stuff.

1135
00:45:36,631 --> 00:45:40,019
Now, as we wrap this up real
quick, go to Psalm 69.

1136
00:45:40,319 --> 00:45:41,719
Now, I'm gonna dwell on this more.

1137
00:45:41,759 --> 00:45:43,271
I just wanted to get the can
opened up.

1138
00:45:43,295 --> 00:45:44,423
All right, you got the notes here.

1139
00:45:44,431 --> 00:45:47,207
It'd be helpful if you go read
these when you get home.

1140
00:45:47,343 --> 00:45:49,111
And you go back on the
backside here.

1141
00:45:49,135 --> 00:45:49,815
There's some great stuff.

1142
00:45:49,847 --> 00:45:52,379
I'm gonna bring two things
together real quick, okay?

1143
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,279
Don't turn there because of time.

1144
00:45:54,319 --> 00:45:56,099
But Psalm 69.

1145
00:45:56,479 --> 00:45:58,299
Boy, the Psalms are amazing.

1146
00:45:58,959 --> 00:46:02,415
In Psalm 69, it's called a
Messianic psalm.

1147
00:46:02,567 --> 00:46:04,499
Brother, thanks for singing
that song tonight.

1148
00:46:04,919 --> 00:46:08,191
Psalm 69, it's messianic.

1149
00:46:08,335 --> 00:46:11,939
It's quoted several times in
the New Testament, several places.

1150
00:46:12,279 --> 00:46:14,899
It has Christ drowning on the cross.

1151
00:46:15,879 --> 00:46:17,939
Waters are coming to my soul.

1152
00:46:18,279 --> 00:46:18,751
Read it.

1153
00:46:18,775 --> 00:46:20,367
I sink in deep mire.

1154
00:46:20,543 --> 00:46:22,703
It's very definitely messianic.

1155
00:46:22,751 --> 00:46:24,383
It has Christ dying in our place.

1156
00:46:24,471 --> 00:46:24,831
Read it.

1157
00:46:24,855 --> 00:46:25,779
It's amazing.

1158
00:46:26,279 --> 00:46:29,511
What he's telling you is
Noah's flood was a picture of what

1159
00:46:29,535 --> 00:46:30,583
I was going through.

1160
00:46:30,751 --> 00:46:33,511
Now think about what happened
on that cross for six hours.

1161
00:46:33,695 --> 00:46:37,047
If we're gonna take those six
hours, the first three hours of focus

1162
00:46:37,103 --> 00:46:38,311
is on physical suffering.

1163
00:46:38,375 --> 00:46:40,375
Christ, at high noon, it gets
pitch black.

1164
00:46:40,447 --> 00:46:42,939
It wasn't an eclipse, it
wasn't a dust storm.

1165
00:46:43,839 --> 00:46:46,379
From noon to 3:00, it's dark.

1166
00:46:47,439 --> 00:46:50,311
My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?

1167
00:46:50,335 --> 00:46:51,207
Read Psalm 22.

1168
00:46:51,263 --> 00:46:52,979
It goes along with Psalm 69.

1169
00:46:54,569 --> 00:46:55,329
Wow.

1170
00:46:55,489 --> 00:46:58,129
He's drowning under the wrath
of God in the Bible.

1171
00:46:58,209 --> 00:46:59,457
Water, okay.

1172
00:46:59,553 --> 00:47:00,833
Fire, famine and flood.

1173
00:47:00,881 --> 00:47:01,857
Picture God's wrath.

1174
00:47:01,953 --> 00:47:02,865
Christ is famine.

1175
00:47:02,897 --> 00:47:04,081
Psalm 22.

1176
00:47:04,265 --> 00:47:05,233
Flood waters.

1177
00:47:05,281 --> 00:47:05,825
Okay.

1178
00:47:05,937 --> 00:47:06,497
Fire.

1179
00:47:06,633 --> 00:47:08,273
And he's put in an oven.

1180
00:47:08,401 --> 00:47:11,889
In Malachi, in Leviticus,
chapter two, they had an offering,

1181
00:47:11,969 --> 00:47:12,545
peace offering.

1182
00:47:12,577 --> 00:47:15,409
You put it in the oven, you
cook it, fry it, burn it.

1183
00:47:15,529 --> 00:47:17,937
The Bible says the earth's
going to be filled like the earth's

1184
00:47:17,953 --> 00:47:18,545
going to be like an oven.

1185
00:47:18,577 --> 00:47:23,115
When God pours out his wrath
on the cross, it's as though he's

1186
00:47:23,147 --> 00:47:25,079
drowning in the wrath of God
for us.

1187
00:47:25,699 --> 00:47:27,355
Now, let me tell you something.

1188
00:47:27,507 --> 00:47:29,519
This is what I want to leave
you with tonight.

1189
00:47:29,939 --> 00:47:32,679
That Baptistery, that city water.

1190
00:47:33,539 --> 00:47:34,379
Yeah.

1191
00:47:34,539 --> 00:47:36,331
You know what I wish we could
do, Brother Stewart?

1192
00:47:36,395 --> 00:47:39,019
I wish we could get water from
the Jordan river and bring it over

1193
00:47:39,059 --> 00:47:39,643
here.

1194
00:47:39,811 --> 00:47:41,867
When I was over there, I got
some water out of the Jordan River.

1195
00:47:41,883 --> 00:47:42,715
I still haven't a bottle.

1196
00:47:42,747 --> 00:47:44,203
I got some water out of the
Dead Sea.

1197
00:47:44,331 --> 00:47:45,281
It's still dead.

1198
00:47:45,395 --> 00:47:48,069
Okay, I brought water back.

1199
00:47:48,189 --> 00:47:48,629
It's great.

1200
00:47:48,669 --> 00:47:49,013
Okay.

1201
00:47:49,061 --> 00:47:49,749
But you know what?

1202
00:47:49,789 --> 00:47:53,477
That's not the same water that
was there when John the Baptist and

1203
00:47:53,533 --> 00:47:54,277
Christ was.

1204
00:47:54,413 --> 00:47:56,149
They were baptized with the apostles.

1205
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:58,501
This thing called a
hydrological cycle.

1206
00:47:58,645 --> 00:48:01,013
You may have drinking some
Georgian water, we don't know.

1207
00:48:01,101 --> 00:48:02,309
By the way, there's no new water.

1208
00:48:02,349 --> 00:48:03,969
All water's pre flood water.

1209
00:48:05,469 --> 00:48:07,089
You ever had pre flood water?

1210
00:48:07,789 --> 00:48:08,645
All water you drink.

1211
00:48:08,677 --> 00:48:09,589
God's not making any new water.

1212
00:48:09,629 --> 00:48:12,409
All the water you drink is pre
flood water like that.

1213
00:48:12,529 --> 00:48:16,329
We have pre flood water out of
the school, okay?

1214
00:48:16,409 --> 00:48:17,609
Some of these guys would drink it.

1215
00:48:17,649 --> 00:48:19,149
It's called the Fountain of youth.

1216
00:48:20,609 --> 00:48:21,469
Okay?

1217
00:48:22,289 --> 00:48:26,713
The Baptistery waters do not
picture a washing and they do not

1218
00:48:26,721 --> 00:48:27,145
wash.

1219
00:48:27,257 --> 00:48:29,945
If the Baptistry washed away
your sins, Christ had never gotten

1220
00:48:29,977 --> 00:48:30,777
baptized.

1221
00:48:30,953 --> 00:48:33,641
If they pictured to wash away
your sins, Christ never got baptized.

1222
00:48:33,705 --> 00:48:36,169
John said, I came Baptized to
make it manifest.

1223
00:48:36,329 --> 00:48:37,587
Now, now we can't have.

1224
00:48:37,643 --> 00:48:38,643
I can't come up here.

1225
00:48:38,731 --> 00:48:39,075
Pastor.

1226
00:48:39,107 --> 00:48:41,219
Preach for 30 minutes on the
wrath of God.

1227
00:48:41,299 --> 00:48:42,339
But you need to learn.

1228
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:45,155
When that new convert's in
that water, it's just as though he's

1229
00:48:45,187 --> 00:48:46,147
in Noah's ark.

1230
00:48:46,243 --> 00:48:49,235
He goes through the flood and
then he comes out on the ark.

1231
00:48:49,347 --> 00:48:52,639
They walked out the ark on new ground.

1232
00:48:53,499 --> 00:48:55,759
Buried in the likeness of his death.

1233
00:48:56,379 --> 00:48:57,123
Left handed.

1234
00:48:57,171 --> 00:48:57,859
Oh, excuse me.

1235
00:48:57,899 --> 00:48:59,491
Buried in the likeness of his death.

1236
00:48:59,675 --> 00:49:00,451
I leave them under.

1237
00:49:00,475 --> 00:49:03,011
There are a couple of big
sets, no buried likes of his death.

1238
00:49:03,115 --> 00:49:05,971
Raised in the likeness of his
resurrection and walk a newness of

1239
00:49:05,995 --> 00:49:06,515
life.

1240
00:49:06,667 --> 00:49:11,159
Romans chapter six says, it's
just as though you were on the cross.

1241
00:49:11,499 --> 00:49:13,459
It's just as though you were
in the tomb.

1242
00:49:13,619 --> 00:49:15,347
And it's just as though you
rose from the dead.

1243
00:49:15,443 --> 00:49:16,835
If they would have nailed you
to the cross.

1244
00:49:16,867 --> 00:49:19,011
When Christ was on the cross
and he died, you died.

1245
00:49:19,155 --> 00:49:21,171
When they put Christ in the
tomb, they put a board between you

1246
00:49:21,195 --> 00:49:22,035
and wrapped you up.

1247
00:49:22,107 --> 00:49:24,419
And you laid there with him
for three days and three nights.

1248
00:49:24,499 --> 00:49:26,291
And when he rose from the
dead, you rose from the dead.

1249
00:49:26,315 --> 00:49:28,159
You'd be no more saved than
you are now.

1250
00:49:28,469 --> 00:49:30,381
Because he didn't do it for himself.

1251
00:49:30,525 --> 00:49:31,769
He did it for us.

1252
00:49:32,869 --> 00:49:33,997
The ark.

1253
00:49:34,173 --> 00:49:35,453
This is where you get this.

1254
00:49:35,461 --> 00:49:36,061
Brother Stuart.

1255
00:49:36,125 --> 00:49:40,365
First Peter 3:18 through 22
says that Noah's flood and water

1256
00:49:40,437 --> 00:49:42,289
baptism are like figures.

1257
00:49:43,029 --> 00:49:45,649
The water in the baptistry
picture the wrath of God.

1258
00:49:46,869 --> 00:49:48,141
That's why I look the way I look.

1259
00:49:48,165 --> 00:49:49,649
I've been through the wrath of God.

1260
00:49:50,149 --> 00:49:50,925
Amen.

1261
00:49:51,037 --> 00:49:52,289
Does that make sense?

1262
00:49:52,949 --> 00:49:56,011
So that new converts, he said,
okay, now what do you do?

1263
00:49:56,035 --> 00:49:56,443
New convert.

1264
00:49:56,491 --> 00:50:01,039
The new convert begins to
learn what it is to be fully accepted.

1265
00:50:01,459 --> 00:50:04,315
Guilt all gone, forgiven.

1266
00:50:04,507 --> 00:50:07,159
When I sin, God doesn't say,
okay, get out of here.

1267
00:50:07,619 --> 00:50:09,359
He draws me back to himself.

1268
00:50:09,859 --> 00:50:11,851
I get to where I don't want to sin.

1269
00:50:11,995 --> 00:50:12,875
I want to live.

1270
00:50:12,947 --> 00:50:13,799
I grow.

1271
00:50:14,259 --> 00:50:15,707
I walk in newness of life.

1272
00:50:15,763 --> 00:50:16,879
I have a new nature.

1273
00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:21,623
So if we're going to climb
that mountain and we're going to

1274
00:50:21,631 --> 00:50:24,439
get up there, you need to camp
out on it and you need to meditate.

1275
00:50:24,519 --> 00:50:25,527
And we're going this further.

1276
00:50:25,583 --> 00:50:27,991
The mountains I've picked are
taking us step by step.

1277
00:50:28,095 --> 00:50:31,399
Because you see, in a sense
we're already in heaven.

1278
00:50:31,559 --> 00:50:33,099
We're already in Mount Zion.

1279
00:50:33,839 --> 00:50:34,519
We'll see that.

1280
00:50:34,559 --> 00:50:35,863
I think tomorrow night.

1281
00:50:36,031 --> 00:50:36,951
We're already.

1282
00:50:37,135 --> 00:50:39,099
We're already in heaven legally.

1283
00:50:40,799 --> 00:50:42,039
And we need to live like it.

1284
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:42,779
Amen.

1285
00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:45,767
We've been fully accepted.

1286
00:50:45,943 --> 00:50:47,099
If we're saved.

1287
00:50:47,679 --> 00:50:48,951
I got a few more things to say.

1288
00:50:48,975 --> 00:50:50,199
But you'll have to come back, Pastor.
