1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,300
Please stand for the reading of 
the word. 

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,000
We're in The Sermon on the 
Mount. 

3
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:11,700
The Beatitudes verse number, 9 
will be our primary focus today.

4
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:17,300
But here the reading seeing the 
crowds, Jesus went up on the 

5
00:00:17,308 --> 00:00:22,300
mountain and when he sat down 
his disciples came to him and he

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:26,500
opened his mouth and taught them
saying blessed are the poor in 

7
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:29,600
spirit for theirs is the Kingdom
of Heaven. 

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,300
Blessed, are those who mourn for
they shall be comforted? 

9
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:39,100
Blessed are the meek for they 
shall inherit the earth. 

10
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:43,700
Blessed are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for 

11
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:48,200
they shall be satisfied. 
Blessed are the merciful for 

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,000
they shall receive Mercy? 
Blessed are the pure in heart 

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,300
for they shall see. 
God blessed are the peacemakers 

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,400
for they shall be called sons of
God. 

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,900
Blessed are those who are 
persecuted for righteousness 

16
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:06,000
sake? 
For theirs is the Kingdom of 

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Heaven. 
Blessed? 

18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,400
Are you when others, revile you,
and persecute you and utter all 

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,900
kinds of evil against you 
falsely on my account rejoice 

20
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:19,800
and be glad for your reward is 
great in heaven for. 

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,100
So they persecuted the prophets.
Outfits who were before you. 

22
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:28,400
The word of the Lord may be 
seated. 

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Today, we look at verse 9. 
Beatitude blessed, felicitous. 

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,100
Happy Well, pleased are those 
who are the peacemakers. 

25
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,000
For they shall be called the 
sons of God to keywords In this 

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200
passage. 
Peacemakers. 

27
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,800
And sons of God. 
The peacemakers are those who 

28
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,300
follow pursue and establish 
peace. 

29
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,699
This is the sole use of this 
word. 

30
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:12,500
Anywhere in scripture is not 
used anywhere. 

31
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:15,600
In the Old Testament nor 
anywhere else in the New 

32
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200
Testament. 
This word Peacemaker. 

33
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,000
In order to understand what it 
means to be the sons of God, we 

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,900
have to remember a few things 
and then we can go from there. 

35
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Scripture says that those who 
are peacemakers, whatever that 

36
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,100
is, are the ones that will be 
called the sons of God. in other

37
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:47,800
words, they will be like their 
father You'll be able to see the

38
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,800
genetic code in them. 
They will be doing those things 

39
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:57,800
that their father does. 
Now the Bible gives us several 

40
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,600
senses in which we are the sons 
of God. 

41
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,600
In the first instance we are 
sons of God by creation. 

42
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,100
Genesis 2. 
And that's the ants. 

43
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:13,100
All human beings are the 
children of God. 

44
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,800
By creation, God took Adam from 
the Dust. 

45
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,500
Molded him. 
He was thoroughly physical 

46
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:32,000
thoroughly of the earth earthy 
thoroughly of human. 

47
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:41,300
Stock and standard and stuff 
dust Thou Art and dust, Thou 

48
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:44,800
shalt return. 
But God breathed into his 

49
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:51,200
nostrils, the breath of life and
he became a living soul. 

50
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,600
And in doing this God said, let 
us make man in our image and 

51
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,600
after our likeness and he did 
that, he created them male and 

52
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,500
female created. 
He them So there's a sense in 

53
00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:08,700
which we are as Paul says, and 
as even most Pagan religions 

54
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,500
will tell us, we are in that. 
Sits, The Offspring of God, the 

55
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:18,100
sons of God, we are God's Sons 
by creation and I think the 

56
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:20,700
designation here where it says 
they shall be called or they 

57
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,700
shall be accounted, they shall 
be reckoned, the sons of God, 

58
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
isn't there something else to it
beyond that? 

59
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,100
We are children of God are sons 
of God by New Creation. 

60
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,800
John 3 and First John 3. 
You must be born again. 

61
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:44,200
We are born of the spirit of 
God. 

62
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,100
Just like, God took that lump of
clay and breathed into his 

63
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,500
nostrils, the Blessed Breath of 
Life and Adam became a living 

64
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:59,300
Soul physically. 
So spiritually, God takes the 

65
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:03,800
dead lump. 
And breathed into our nostrils. 

66
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:08,800
By his holy spirit, in a 
marvelous work of regeneration 

67
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:14,000
in a marvelous work of 
recreation, and now we are the 

68
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,200
regenerate sons of God. 
And as we mentioned, that's who 

69
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,600
this passage is directed to by 
and large are the people who are

70
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,800
the born-again regenerated. 
Sons of God. 

71
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,600
But then there's another sense 
and that's the sense of 

72
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,000
adoption. 
We are adopted, this is the 

73
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,300
legal forensic type of 
understanding of our sonship, it

74
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,100
has to do with the air to the 
Heritage. 

75
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,800
The air that it belongs in. 
Paul flesh. 

76
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,500
Has this out for us in Romans 
principally in chapter 8 and 

77
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:54,400
other places. 
So God is our father. 

78
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,100
We are his sons, but in order to
be Designated that special piece

79
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:03,900
maker, designation. 
We've got to take a look at what

80
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,100
we need to be doing. and 
basically, we take a look at our

81
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:14,400
father What did our father do? 
Our father is a peacemaker. 

82
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:21,100
John brought us says there is no
more Godlike work on Earth than 

83
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:28,100
being a peacemaker. 
That's what God had to do from 

84
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:31,400
the very start. 
After Mankind's sins, God had to

85
00:06:31,407 --> 00:06:33,200
start a work of being a 
peacemaker. 

86
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,500
There was an Alien Nation. 
There was a separation. 

87
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,100
There was a parting, there was 
an enmity in a hostility that 

88
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:48,000
existed between God, the father 
and Humanity. 

89
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:51,900
All have sinned and fallen short
of the glory of God. 

90
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:54,000
There's none righteous. 
No, not one. 

91
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:59,400
There's those that are far from 
God, and he must bring them back

92
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:04,100
to himself. 
So, the Lord began a work, that 

93
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:08,800
is the work of reconciliation. 
Peacemaking. 

94
00:07:09,900 --> 00:07:14,100
Bringing the two that are at 
enmity and hostile. 

95
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:22,900
Bringing them into one and 
atonement. 70 over 70 times in 

96
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:29,700
the Old Testament, there is a 
Word used that refers to one of 

97
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,300
the sacrifices, it was called 
the selim. 

98
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,500
Shalom peace. 
It was the Salim, the selenium 

99
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:45,000
was the peace offering and it 
was an offering that was quite 

100
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,200
expensive but quite important 
and we find it mentioned and God

101
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,900
tells him how to do it in the 
book of Exodus. 

102
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:54,500
Leviticus and he goes all 
through the Old Testament, 

103
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:59,000
you'll find from time to time 
that peace offerings are made. 

104
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,300
And a peace offering has kind of
in the middle of it. 

105
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:02,600
You can kind of always remember 
this. 

106
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,900
It means appeasement It is to 
placate the Wrath of the 

107
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:13,500
parties. 
It is to appease the parties, it

108
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:18,700
is to bring them together. 
There's a Reconciliation God 

109
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:23,300
reconciled to man in the fact 
that he reconciles and 

110
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,200
irreconcilable man. 
It's man that must change it. 

111
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,299
Is we who have fallen short. 
We are the ones that must be 

112
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:38,100
made. 
New God is God, he changes not. 

113
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:42,900
He has no reason in this 
relationship to be reconciled in

114
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,600
and of himself. 
He reconciles us and the 

115
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,500
imperative from scripture is be 
ye reconciled to God and that's 

116
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,400
what the peace offering was all 
about. 

117
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,700
The peace offering was. 
Reconciliation. 

118
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:02,600
It was an act of worship. 
It was an act of appeasement and

119
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,900
it involved as a said he was 
expensive involved. 

120
00:09:04,900 --> 00:09:10,200
Two Lambs without spot without 
blemish, firstlings of the flock

121
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,100
etc. 
Etc. 

122
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:13,900
You know the standard for the 
sacrifice of the Old Testament, 

123
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,700
it had to be perfect. 
Interesting, it's two Lambs. 

124
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:19,700
Passover was one lamb, it's two 
Lambs. 

125
00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,900
There's some real heavy duty 
work to be done in 

126
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:27,900
reconciliation. and man has to 
Be there. 

127
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:34,100
Ready and open for God to do it 
and the bended knee and the 

128
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:38,200
bowed head and the slaughter. 
The animal was man's way to come

129
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:44,300
to God and see if there might 
not be a Reconciliation. 

130
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,700
God commanded him to be 
approached himself to be 

131
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:51,000
approached, that way, a bullock 
that's quite a sacrifice that an

132
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000
agrarian economy. 
You go out here to any Angus, 

133
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
breeder in Texas, and ask them 
to surrender their best. 

134
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:00,800
All they miss may not want to do
that but that's what God calls 

135
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,800
for. 
A bullock or even a ram, which 

136
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,900
is the chief of all of those 
sheep and goat species. 

137
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,600
And the reason it's expensive 
offering his it's precious, 

138
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:21,300
there's absolutely nothing more 
important than a Reconciliation 

139
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,700
apiece to be made between God 
and his people. 

140
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:32,500
And any mediator work between 
God and man has been fulfilled. 

141
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,500
We see a massive amount of 
Prophecy and shadows and types 

142
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:41,300
and teaching and pictures. 
images of all of this in the Old

143
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:45,900
Testament, but We see this work 
of piece of peacemaking. 

144
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:52,000
Is really the Sovereign work of 
the Lord, and he promises it in 

145
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,700
who he will send. 
Let me read a passage of 

146
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,500
scripture that is most familiar 
to you. 

147
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,800
In fact, I hesitate to even read
it so familiar, but you know 

148
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:08,000
doesn't hurt its Isaiah chapter 
9, listen to the language of 

149
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,200
what we celebrate usually around
the Advent season. 

150
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,600
For unto us. 
A child is born. 

151
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,300
There's The Human Side of Jesus.
A little child is born unto us. 

152
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:23,400
A son is given the exalted Son 
of God. 

153
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:26,600
There's the deity of Christ 
Right There For unto us. 

154
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,800
A child is born unto us a son is
given and the government shall 

155
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,100
be upon his shoulder. 
And his name Shall be Called 

156
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:41,800
wonderful, counselor, Mighty 
God, Everlasting father Prince 

157
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,900
of Peace. 
That's a title. 

158
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:55,900
That's David's son. 
David's great, son. 

159
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:01,200
Or Solomon. 
That's what his name means. 

160
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:06,400
Shalom, Solomon. 
It's a man of Peace. 

161
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,000
David was a man of war, but 
because he was a man of Peace, 

162
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,700
God, assign Solomon, the sacred 
Duty and privilege of building 

163
00:12:16,700 --> 00:12:19,400
the Temple. 
The place where God would meet 

164
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400
with man, where they would be 
reconciliation, where they would

165
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000
be peace, where they would be 
meeting when all, the enmity 

166
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,200
would be put aside, and they 
would become his very people. so

167
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:37,000
David's son is the candidate to 
do this work of reconciliation, 

168
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:43,900
peacemaking and Christ is the 
one that fulfill that and so 

169
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:48,200
Christ is prophesied here to be 
called The Prince of Peace of 

170
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,000
the increase of his government 
and of Peace. 

171
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,600
There will be no end. the whole 
point of the government, The 

172
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Authority, the rule, the reign 
of Christ in his kingdom, is to 

173
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:11,600
establish that peace and to keep
it A peacemaker and a 

174
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,800
peacekeeper. 
And that's who Christ is to us. 

175
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,500
Another Prophet prophesying 
around about the same time in 

176
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:26,300
Israel. 
That had a passage similar to, 

177
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:31,700
this is another passage. 
We consider often at Advent 

178
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:34,800
season. 
But you o Bethlehem are too 

179
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,700
little to be among the clans of 
Judah from you shall come forth 

180
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:43,500
from me one, who is to be a 
ruler in Israel? 

181
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,000
Whose origin is from old from 
ancient days. 

182
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:51,900
There we have the eternality of 
Christ from old. 

183
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,500
As coeternal with the father, he
was with the father in the 

184
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:02,300
beginning, but we also see his 
Incarnation, his coming to Earth

185
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:06,000
is coming to live in a tent of 
Flesh. 

186
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:13,200
One more time, God is going to 
take a lump and Infuse, his 

187
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,300
breath, his spirited to it as he
did in Adam in the Incarnation, 

188
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:21,200
that's what happened. 
God, takes human flesh and 

189
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,800
hovers over by the Holy Spirit 
and what's conceived in Mary is 

190
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,600
the very Spirit, the very 
breath, the very word of God. 

191
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,400
And so that's the prophecy. 
Therefore, he shall, give them 

192
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,100
up until The time when she, who 
has to labor, has given birth. 

193
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:44,200
Then the rest of the brothers 
shall return to the people of 

194
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Israel. 
Here is the birth of Christ. 

195
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,400
The Incarnation, he shall stand 
and Shepherd his flock in the 

196
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:57,500
strength of the Lord. 
Don't miss that, he shall stand.

197
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,200
On a stasis stand-up, be raised.
He shall stand and Shepherd. 

198
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,100
His flock in the strength of the
Lord. 

199
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:09,100
In the Majesty of the name of 
the Lord. 

200
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:14,900
God, they shall dwell secure for
now. 

201
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,800
He shall be great. 
To the ends of the Earth and he 

202
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:25,500
shall be their peace. 
That's precisely what Paul says 

203
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:32,200
in Ephesians 2. 
Says Christ is our peace, he's 

204
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,000
our peace offering. 
He's the one that makes piece of

205
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,600
the coming of the Prince of 
Peace. 

206
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:44,300
Is the one that comes to make 
this breach between God and 

207
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,100
Humanity. 
Clothes. 

208
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:53,600
Disappear healed. 
And that's what God has done for

209
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,900
us. 
God is the ultimate primary 

210
00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:02,100
Eternal, peace maker. 
If you do not know the Peace of 

211
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:05,800
the Lord this morning, it is 
time for you to know that. 

212
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,300
The Bible says the wicked are 
like the troubled sea. 

213
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,400
They cannot rest. 
There's no peace. 

214
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:19,500
Saith my God to the wicked. 
God wants you. 

215
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:24,300
He calls you. 
He says to you seek me while I 

216
00:16:24,308 --> 00:16:27,800
may be found call upon me while 
I am near. 

217
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,600
He's broken down the middle wall
of partition. 

218
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:39,000
He has made peace for us, and he
calls upon us to do just that 

219
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:48,400
and having come by faith. 
To the Savior who was a blood 

220
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,400
shedding peace offering to God 
on our behalf. 

221
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,600
To thus remove that which 
separates us. 

222
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,400
The Lord's hand is not shortened
that he cannot save, neither his

223
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,000
ear heavy that he cannot hear 
your sins have separated between

224
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800
you and your God. 
And your iniquity has hid his 

225
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,300
face from you, and he will not 
hear if you do not have that 

226
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:18,000
piece this morning. 
It's because of your sin. 

227
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400
You must repent. 
Abandon your sin. 

228
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Flee to him and call upon him. 
And as we've tried to indicate 

229
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,000
He will give that peace. 
That will keep him in. 

230
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Perfect peace. 
Whose mind is stayed on thee 

231
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:37,700
because he trust in thee. 
That's what we're asking you to 

232
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:41,400
do this morning is to is to 
trust the Lord. 

233
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:49,700
Let me make one practical note. 
and, If I have a moment, I'll 

234
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:54,400
read one more scripture. 
I mentioned that brought us had 

235
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,600
said that peacemaking there's no
more Godlike work on Earth than 

236
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,500
being a peacemaker. 
What is the role of a peacemaker

237
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:09,400
in our society as we operate and
live our lives and seek to be 

238
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,200
peacemakers as God has called us
to be making peace involve 

239
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:21,100
sacrifice. 
It's a removal of Wrath hatred 

240
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:25,500
and strife between parties. 
You think you want to get in the

241
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,700
middle of a fight? 
You think you want to get 

242
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,900
involved? 
Peacemaking requires that but 

243
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:37,300
when he does, it will require 
require you to endure all the 

244
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:38,800
way I got this all out of 
Calvin. 

245
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,700
It's just you just listed it out
there, you can just read it in 

246
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:49,400
door and dignity. 
To here and tolerate reproach. 

247
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:53,600
in fact, I like the way he said 
it, he says you will hear 

248
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Grievous complaints from both 
sides, In a peacemaking 

249
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:08,400
Enterprise, you will be hated. 
you will be mistreated by both 

250
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:19,000
sides, both parties that we have
a absolute Duty to advocate for 

251
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,900
truth, justice and mercy in our 
efforts, as peacemakers brought 

252
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:29,900
us in his remarks going to say 
that you must be impartial. 

253
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:34,800
Loving. 
Tactful. 

254
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:41,000
Selfless. 
And exercise an enormous amount 

255
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:47,000
of self-control. 
How will we do? 

256
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,700
Well, the good news is God calls
us to do everything. 

257
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:58,200
They were supposed to do. 
The fact is we usually don't do 

258
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,700
it too well. 
Full of imperfections and 

259
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:04,900
failing and even mixed and 
mingled with motives and sins. 

260
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,800
So we have the assurance that 
God is going to take everything 

261
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,000
and make it just right. 
And as Robbie praying, this 

262
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,600
prayer just a few minutes ago. 
It's not as it used to be. 

263
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,600
And it's not as it will be. 
Let me read. 

264
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Just one very, very interesting,
passage out of the the Old 

265
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,800
Testament to conclude and there 
are many passages in the Old 

266
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,500
Testament that talk about peace 
and the Shalom, that will be 

267
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:41,200
upon the Earth with the animals,
the wild animals, and the fierce

268
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,600
animals, lying down with the 
domestic animals. 

269
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
And there will be nobody hurting
and destroying and all of God's 

270
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,300
mountain and over and over and 
over in the books. 

271
00:20:49,300 --> 00:20:51,300
But here's an interesting. 
I didn't like the way the Lord 

272
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:52,900
phrases it. 
Let me close with this. 

273
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:57,800
Therefore this is it Ezekiel by 
the way Ezekiel 34 therefore 

274
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,900
says the Lord. 
Behold, I myself will judge 

275
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:07,100
between the fat sheep and the 
lean sheep. 

276
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,100
I had a wish. 
I had time to talk about that. 

277
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,700
Would Ron preach only preached 
on fat sheep. 

278
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:22,300
Because you push with side and 
shoulder, and thrust it all with

279
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,500
the week with your horns, till 
you have scattered them abroad. 

280
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,900
This is the hustle, and the 
tussle in the friction and all 

281
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,900
of the hostility that is between
the Sheep. 

282
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:37,000
Peacemaking is to be done within
the house of the Lord true. 

283
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,800
And the Lord says, one of these 
days I'm going to settle all 

284
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,500
these disputes. 
I'm going to recognize this, I'm

285
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,300
going to bring to judgment and 
I'm going to judge between this 

286
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:51,000
sheep and that sheep. 
He says I will rescue my flock. 

287
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:55,800
They shall no longer be a pray. 
I will judge between sheep and 

288
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,300
sheep. 
I will set up over them. 

289
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:05,800
One Shepherd, Christ my servant 
David and he shall feed them, he

290
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,300
shall feed them and he shall be 
their Shepherd. 

291
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,900
And I the Lord will be their 
God. 

292
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,200
And my servant, David will be 
Prince among them. 

293
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:18,800
I am the Lord I have spoke now. 
Listen to this. 

294
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,100
I will make with them, a 
covenant of peace and banished, 

295
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,500
wild beast from the land. 
So that they may dwell securely 

296
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,600
in the wilderness and sleep in 
the woods. 

297
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,700
And I will make them in the 
places all around my heel of 

298
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:38,600
blessing and I will send down 
the showers in their season. 

299
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,600
They shall be Showers of 
blessing and the Trees of the 

300
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,400
field shall yield their fruit in
the Earth, shall yield its 

301
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,900
increase, and they shall be 
secure in their land. 

302
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,600
And they shall know that I am 
the Lord, when I break the bars 

303
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,600
of their yoke, when I deliver 
them from the hand of those who 

304
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,100
have enslaved them, they shall 
no more be prey. 

305
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:59,000
And the Nations nor shall the 
beasts of the land devoured 

306
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,900
them. 
They shall dwell securely. 

307
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:06,400
And The way shalom means 
well-being Prosperity safety 

308
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800
dwelling in in peace. 
That's what the word shalom 

309
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,400
means. 
I will provide for them renowned

310
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,700
plantations so that they may 
know more be consumed with 

311
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,400
hunger in the land and no longer
suffer the reproach of the 

312
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,600
Nations. 
And they shall know that I am 

313
