1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,000
Well, it's evening. 
We are addressing our attention 

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,900
to the subject of the 
establishment of the kingdom. 

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,800
And I refer, of course to that 
that was promised by Isaiah in 

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,300
Isaiah. 
The second chapter, which we 

5
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:20,000
read a few of, from a moment ago
in this place, we hear Isaiah 

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
predicting. 
It shall come to pass in the 

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,100
last days that the mountain of 
the Lord's house shall be 

8
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,100
established in the top of the 
mountains and shall be exalted. 

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:37,300
Above the hills and All Nations 
shall flow unto it now, whatever

10
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:41,200
the mountain of the Lord's 
House, maybe as described In 

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,100
this passage of scripture when 
Isaiah spoke this, some 500 

12
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,500
years before Christ, it was yet 
future. 

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,500
It was something that was in the
future and coming and he said it

14
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,600
shall come to pass. 
So the question we want to 

15
00:00:58,608 --> 00:01:02,600
consider tonight is What is the 
Lord's House? 

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,700
I have spoken here. 
The answer of course, is found 

17
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:12,000
in the second chapter of Daniel.
There in this place, we here in 

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Daniel 2 and verse 35, that the 
prophet said, then was the iron,

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,000
the clay, the brass, the silver,
and the gold broken to pieces 

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,600
together and became like the 
chaff of the summer threshing, 

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,100
floors and the wind carried them
away that no place. 

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,600
Place was found for them and the
stone that smote the image 

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:39,200
became a great mountain and 
filled the whole earth. 

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,500
Now, the interpretation of this 
Vision given by Daniel in Daniel

25
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:50,500
2 and 44, he said, in the days 
of these Kings, shall the god of

26
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:52,800
Heaven set up a kingdom, which 
shall never be destroyed. 

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,600
And the kingdom shall not be 
left to other people, but it 

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,600
shall break in pieces and 
consume all these kingdoms. 

29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,300
And it shall stand forever. 
Now, like to point out that when

30
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,600
he said the mountain of the 
Lord's house shall be 

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,100
established in the top of the 
mountains, they mountain. 

32
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,000
Of course, is simply a symbol 
for a kingdom. 

33
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:20,300
And then he said, it shall be 
exalted above the hills now 

34
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,900
heels, if the mountain is a 
kingdom, the hills would be 

35
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,600
lesser governments, wouldn't it?
And so this is what he's talking

36
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200
about, but what is the Lord's? 
House. 

37
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,400
He said the mountain of the 
Lord's house, shall be 

38
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,200
established in the top of the 
mountains and exalted above the 

39
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,600
hills, what we find, what the 
Lord's House is. 

40
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,200
And First Timothy, the third 
chapter and verse 15 where the 

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,700
Apostle Paul writes to the young
preacher and he said that if I 

42
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,300
tear along thou mayest know how 
thou oughtest to behave thyself 

43
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
in the house of God, which is 
the Church of the Living. 

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,800
God, the pillar and ground of 
the truth. 

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,200
So the Lord's House. 
Is simply the church. 

46
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,100
This is a prediction of the 
church and when it will be 

47
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:12,000
established and what its purpose
maybe now Daniel said, in the 

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,200
days of these Kings, this tells 
us the time when the kingdom or 

49
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,600
the church is to be established.
But what Kings is he talking 

50
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,600
about? 
We have to remember that this 

51
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,600
was during the time of 
Nebuchadnezzar And the Bible 

52
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,000
tells us that Nebuchadnezzar had
a dream. 

53
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,900
That's nothing uncommon. 
We all have dreams. 

54
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:42,100
This dream was a very important 
dream. 

55
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:48,400
It was a dream that was given 
him no doubt by God, And the 

56
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,700
problem was that when he woke up
the next morning, he couldn't 

57
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:57,500
remember the dream. 
He said the thing has left me. 

58
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,500
Have you ever had an experience 
like that? 

59
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:05,100
Sure you have you've had a dream
that seemed so real and so vivid

60
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000
but then the next morning you 
couldn't even remember the 

61
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,500
details of it. 
Well, that's the fix that 

62
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,900
Nebuchadnezzar was in and so he 
called for his wise men and his 

63
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:20,200
soothsayers and he's Chaldeans 
and they all came in and he 

64
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,100
said, I have had a dream and I 
want you to give me the 

65
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:27,300
interpretation. 
In Arabic, they said, all right.

66
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,100
You tell us the dream and we'll 
give you the interpretation. 

67
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,800
Oh no, he said that's just the 
problem. 

68
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,900
Paraphrasing is words. 
Of course, he said, I the thing 

69
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,400
is left me. 
I don't know what the dream is, 

70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,700
but unless you tell me, you're 
going to be cutting pieces, and 

71
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:49,700
I'm going to make your houses a 
dunghill on the other hand. 

72
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,900
If you tell me the dream and you
give me the interpretation, 

73
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:57,400
you're going to get all kinds. 
He's of rewards and they said 

74
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,100
well there's not a man on Earth 
that can tell you the dream and 

75
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:04,300
then give you the 
interpretation, that's not the 

76
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:07,800
way it works. 
You tell us the dream and will 

77
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,400
tell you the interpretation 
thereof always said you're just 

78
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,800
stalling for time and he said if
you don't come up with this 

79
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,600
dream, all of you are going to 
be killed and even though they 

80
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,100
protested that was his decree. 
So he was rounding up all All of

81
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,800
the soothsayers and The 
Magicians, and the Chaldeans to 

82
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,800
kill them and he sent for Daniel
and the, the boys that were with

83
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,300
him from Judea. 
And Daniel said you give me a 

84
00:05:41,308 --> 00:05:45,700
little time and I'll tell the 
dream and I'll tell the 

85
00:05:45,707 --> 00:05:50,000
interpretation of it. 
And so of course he called upon 

86
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:54,900
God to provide that 
interpretation and during the 

87
00:05:54,900 --> 00:06:00,900
night, God gave to Daniel the 
dream and the interpretation 

88
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,200
thereof. 
And now we're ready to see what 

89
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,900
that dream. 
And what that interpretation was

90
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,000
in verse 31. 
This is the thing that he said 

91
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:19,500
to Nebuchadnezzar vowel King saw
us and behold a great Image this

92
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,600
great image, whose brightness 
was excellent stood before the 

93
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,800
in the form thereof was 
terrible. 

94
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,500
The this images head was of 
fine, gold his breast and his 

95
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:33,400
arms of silver, his belly and 
thighs of brass. 

96
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,400
His legs of iron his feet, part 
of iron and part of clay. 

97
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:42,400
Now, saw us till that a stone 
was cut out without hands, which

98
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,200
smote the image upon his feet 
that were of iron and clay and 

99
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,300
break them. 
Pieces, then was the iron, the 

100
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:54,400
clay, the brass, the silver, and
the gold broken to pieces 

101
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,100
together and became like the 
chaff of the summer threshing. 

102
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:01,900
Floors and the wind carried them
away that no place was found for

103
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:06,600
them and the stone that smote 
the image became a great 

104
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,100
mountain and filled the whole 
earth. 

105
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:15,300
This is the green and we will 
tell the interpretation thereof 

106
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:21,100
before the king. 
Now, the word king, of course, 

107
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:25,000
refers to a dynasty of kings and
each one. 

108
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,600
But now let's read the 
interpretation. 

109
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,700
He said the owl King are to King
of Kings for the god of Heaven. 

110
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,600
Hath given thee, a kingdom, 
power and strength and Glory. 

111
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:42,700
I like to point out that the 
Bible says, God gave it to him. 

112
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:47,100
Sometimes we think that we have 
a hand in the Affairs of men, 

113
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,600
but God. 
God rules in the kingdoms of 

114
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,000
men. 
And he said, God gave you this 

115
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,800
Kingdom and wheresoever. 
The Children of Men, dwell the 

116
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,700
beasts of the field and the 
fowls of the heaven hath. 

117
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:03,600
He given into thine hand, and 
hath made thee ruler over them. 

118
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,000
All thou art this head of gold. 
This is a significant statement 

119
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,100
Nebuchadnezzar was the head of 
gold of that great image that he

120
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:18,400
saw in his vision and after they
shall arise another, Kingdom 

121
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,800
inferior to thee and another 
third Kingdom of brass which 

122
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,900
shall bear rule over all the 
earth. 

123
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,600
And the fourth Kingdom shall be 
strong as iron forasmuch as iron

124
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,400
breaketh in pieces and subdueth 
with all things and as iron that

125
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,600
worketh all these, shall it 
break in pieces and bruise and 

126
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,100
whereas thou sawest the feet and
Toes part of potters. 

127
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,500
Clay. 
And part of iron the kingdom 

128
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,600
shall be divided but there shall
be in it of the strength of the 

129
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,900
iron Iron forasmuch as thou 
sowest the iron mixed with Miry 

130
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:56,700
clay and as the toes of the feet
were part of iron and part of 

131
00:08:56,700 --> 00:08:59,500
clay. 
So the kingdom shall be partly 

132
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:03,700
strong and partly broken. 
And whereas thou sawest iron 

133
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:07,800
mixed with Miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed 

134
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,000
of men but they shall not cleave
one to another. 

135
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Even as iron is not mixed with 
clay and in the days of these 

136
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,400
Kings shall the god of Heaven 
set up a kingdom, which shall 

137
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,400
never be destroyed. 
And the kingdom shall not be 

138
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400
left to other people, but it 
shall break in pieces and 

139
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,200
consume all these kingdoms and 
it shall stand forever. 

140
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:36,000
Now notice if you will, the four
things that he describes year, 

141
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,000
the head of gold, he described 
as being, King Nebuchadnezzar. 

142
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,300
In other words, that part of the
Kingdom that part of the pyre. 

143
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:52,500
And then he said that there was 
silver and then there was the 

144
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,500
brass and then there was the 
iron and part of iron and part 

145
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,700
of clay later on, we're going to
see that these represent the 

146
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,800
four Great World Empires known 
to man. 

147
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,000
And this is very easily done 
because when he said 

148
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Nebuchadnezzar, thou art that 
head of gold, he identified that

149
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,300
as the Bible own Ian Kingdom. 
One of the great world Empires. 

150
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,600
You remember in the study of 
history. 

151
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,700
No doubt that these four 
Universal dynasties Babylonia 

152
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:31,300
was the first. 
And then we have no trouble, 

153
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:36,000
locating the others. 
Daniel 8 tells us who they are 

154
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,900
in. 
Daniel the 8th chapter and verse

155
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,400
20. 
He said, the ram, which thou 

156
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,600
sowest having two horns are the 
kings of media and Persia. 

157
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:50,700
And the rough goat is The king 
of Grisha and the Great Horn 

158
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:54,500
that is between his eyes is the 
first king now that being 

159
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:57,800
broken. 
Whereas, for stood up for it for

160
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Kingdom, shall stand up out of 
the nation, but not in his 

161
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:08,800
power, You Remember by reading 
God's word and history that the 

162
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Babylonian kingdom was that 
which passed away because the 

163
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,900
medes and the Persians Came Upon
it. 

164
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:20,900
So that Median kingdom was that 
second Kingdom. 

165
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:27,400
I should say, was the, the 
kingdom, and then the silver, of

166
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,600
course, was that, which 
represented Greece, we can 

167
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:41,200
notice then that, in this, in 
this way, the four kingdoms are 

168
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,900
described now, I believe I have 
this mixed up just a little bit 

169
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:47,600
here. 
Let's read again. 

170
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,800
What He says. 
He said, the third kingdom was a

171
00:11:53,808 --> 00:11:59,000
kingdom of brass and it shall 
bear rule over all the Earth 

172
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,400
that silver Kingdom represented.
The Macedonian Empire of which 

173
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:10,100
Alexander you remember, was the 
great was the ruler. 

174
00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:15,800
Alexander had conquered all of 
the known world and he was ruler

175
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,800
of it all. 
And when Alexander died, He had 

176
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:25,900
no hair no, to leave it to, he 
had only one son who was an 

177
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:32,000
incompetent and his his generals
took over the kingdom and that 

178
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,200
when he said that being broken, 
whereas, for stood up for it for

179
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,200
Kingdom, shall stand up out of 
the nation, but not in his 

180
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,900
power. 
So since we have noticed, the 

181
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:49,800
medo-persian and the, and the 
Macedonian, or the Grecian 

182
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:54,400
Kingdom that leaves only one to 
be described and of course that 

183
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,100
was the Roman Kingdom. 
It is described so minutely that

184
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:03,800
it's unmistakable. 
It first comes as iron the Roman

185
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,300
Kingdom breaking everything in 
its power and its way and later 

186
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,500
a spirit of moderation is 
introduced and he says the clay 

187
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:18,300
begins to mingle with the iron. 
This is in the feet of that. 

188
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:22,900
Great Image the Eye. 
Iron and the Miry clay but while

189
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,800
they mingle, they will not 
cleave together. 

190
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,900
And Daniel 2 and verse 43 says, 
whereas thou sawest iron mixed 

191
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:34,600
with Miry clay, they shall 
mingle themselves with the seed 

192
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,300
of men but they shall not cleave
one to another. 

193
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,800
Even as iron is not mixed with 
Clay. 

194
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:51,500
So now we have described these 
kingdoms as the medo-persian The

195
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:56,800
Grecian. 
And finally, the Roman, those 

196
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:03,600
are the only four World Empires.
The iron of this Roman Kingdom 

197
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,800
became mingled with clay and of 
course, that produced a 

198
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,600
weakness. 
Now, Gibbons says in the second 

199
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,300
century of the Christian era, 
the Empire of Rome comprehended.

200
00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:19,800
The fairest part of the earth 
and the most civilized portions 

201
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:25,700
of mankind, Gibbon wrote the 
history. of the Roman Empire and

202
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:29,700
he said again the principal 
conquests of the Romans were 

203
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,700
achieved under the Republic and 
the emperor's for the most part 

204
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:37,400
were satisfied with preserving, 
those dominions which but had 

205
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,300
been acquired by the policy of 
the Senate, the act of emulation

206
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:45,000
of the count of the consoles and
the Marshal enthusiasm of the 

207
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
people, the 7 first centuries 
were filled with rapid 

208
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,500
succession of primes but it was 
reserved for Augustus to 

209
00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:56,600
relinquish Which the ambitious 
design of subduing, the whole 

210
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,200
earth and to introduce a spirit 
of moderation, into the public 

211
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,200
councils in these two quotations
that I have read from Gibbon the

212
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,800
historian. 
We learned that the Roman Empire

213
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:15,800
was the kind of a thing that 
broke everything in its path. 

214
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Some of our modern Scholars have
said that the Roman army was 

215
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,600
absolutely Invincible in its 
Force. 

216
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:29,000
And it broke other nations to 
pieces and that was the Republic

217
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,300
that did that hence the iron 
marks, the Roman Empire and its 

218
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:37,700
Republican form of government. 
But then there comes the clay. 

219
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:41,900
What about the clay? 
He says, the Kings mentioned 

220
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,700
mingle themselves with the seed 
of men and it was this seed of 

221
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,900
men to which they would not 
cleave. 

222
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,700
Now, if you will, notice the 
Romans changed from the Can form

223
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,600
of government to a kingdom but 
they never did abolish the 

224
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Senate therefore they retained a
part of the Republic, the part 

225
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,700
that was iron and that was 
mingled with a synod named 

226
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,100
Daniel said there shall be in 
it. 

227
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:14,300
The strength of the iron, the 
emperor's, the Kings with the 

228
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:17,100
Senate. 
Did they cleave together? 

229
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000
I submit that, they did not 
Gibbon. 

230
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:25,200
The historian of Rome says the 
Words of the Assassin. 

231
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,100
Something deep into the mind of 
Commodus and left an indelible 

232
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:33,100
impression of fear and hatred 
against the whole body of the 

233
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,600
Senate. 
They we can see that there was 

234
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:41,100
strife and animosity between the
Senate and those who represented

235
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:46,500
the King again from Gibbon. 
He said the tyrants rage after 

236
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:50,800
having shed the noblest blood of
the Senate at last recoiled on 

237
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,400
the principal instrument of his 
cruelty. 

238
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:59,400
That's Page 106 of Gibbons 
history of the Roman Empire. 

239
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Now I could read many more 
quotations from Gibbons tonight 

240
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,800
to show that the Roman emperors 
were the Kings who mingle 

241
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,599
themselves with the seed of men,
but would not cleave one to 

242
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,200
another. 
Hence, the emperor's were the 

243
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,900
clay of the image, while the 
Senate was the iron, and I'm 

244
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,500
mentioning all of this tonight 
because that shows the age of 

245
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,300
the world when God was To set up
his kingdom. 

246
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:30,500
He said, in the days of these 
kings, that is the Roman kings 

247
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,500
in the days of these Kings, 
shall the god of Heaven, set up 

248
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:38,000
a kingdom. 
Now, that was the Roman Caesars,

249
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,900
and that was during the time 
when the kingdom would be 

250
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,600
established. 
Now, like to point out that it 

251
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,400
was the mission of John the 
Baptist. 

252
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:56,800
To make the way of the Lord 
plane that was his mission. 

253
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,200
And so, we're not surprised to 
read in. 

254
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,600
Matthew the 3rd chapter and 
verse 1 in those days, Came 

255
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,500
John, the Baptist preaching in 
the wilderness of Judea and 

256
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:12,200
saying, repent. 
Ye for the Kingdom of Heaven is 

257
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,700
at hand. 
At hand means to cause to 

258
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:20,700
approach to draw near it. 
Hadn't come but he said it's at 

259
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:21,700
hand. 
It was not. 

260
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:26,800
I was very near again. 
We hear Jesus coming upon the 

261
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,800
scene. 
Jesus was born some six months 

262
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,800
after John. 
The Baptist was born and John 

263
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,200
was his Forerunner. 
The one who prepared his way, 

264
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:43,000
and Jesus came upon the scene 
and the disciples asked him. 

265
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,700
Lord, teach us to pray and Jesus
said after this manner, 

266
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:52,200
therefore pray, ye Our Father 
which is in heaven, Hallowed be 

267
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:59,200
thy name, thy kingdom come thy 
will be done on Earth as it is 

268
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,600
in heaven. 
Jesus taught his disciples to 

269
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,600
pray, thy kingdom come. 
So at that point in time, Jesus 

270
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,800
was on the scene, but his 
kingdom had not yet. 

271
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,400
Come we come on down. 
When Jesus came with his 

272
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,600
disciples to caesarea Philippi. 
And there it says area Philippi 

273
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,500
he asked his disciples whom do 
men say that I the son of man 

274
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:27,300
a.m. and they said, well some 
say that you're John the Baptist

275
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:31,800
others jeremias Elias or one of 
the prophets he says unto them 

276
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,700
whom say ye that. 
I am Simon Peter, you remember 

277
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:40,100
was the outspoken one and he 
said Thou Art the Christ, the 

278
00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:43,500
son of the Living, God, Jesus 
pronounce the bit. 

279
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,800
Action of Heaven upon him. 
He said blessed art thou Simon 

280
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,900
bar-jonah for Flesh and Blood 
hath, not revealed it unto thee 

281
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:53,400
but my Father which is in heaven
and I say also unto thee that 

282
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,500
thou art Peter and Upon This 
Rock, I will build my church and

283
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:00,600
the Gates of Hell shall not 
Prevail against it and I will 

284
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,800
give unto thee the Keys of the 
Kingdom of Heaven and 

285
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,900
whatsoever. 
Thou shalt bind on Earth shall 

286
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,900
be bound in heaven and 
whatsoever. 

287
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:10,900
Thou shalt loose on Earth shall 
be loosed in heaven. 

288
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:15,300
So now Jesus is talking in terms
of the Search or the kingdom. 

289
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:20,300
And he said, I will build that 
future tense again in Matthew, 

290
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:23,500
18 and 3. 
We hear Jesus saying to his 

291
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:27,600
quarreling disciples as he sat a
little child down in the midst 

292
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,300
of them except ye be converted 
and become as little children, 

293
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,400
ye shall not enter into the 
kingdom. 

294
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,100
Again, the apostles were not in 
the Kingdom at that point in 

295
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:44,600
time, again in Luke 22 and verse
18 just before Or Jesus was 

296
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,100
betrayed. 
He was observing the last 

297
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:50,800
supper, with his disciples and 
he said in Luke, 22 and verse 

298
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,100
18, verily. 
I say unto you. 

299
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:56,800
I will not drink of the fruit of
the vine until the kingdom of 

300
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,900
God shall come. 
So, here we are now on the last 

301
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:06,700
night of our Lord's life upon 
this Earth, and he's saying the 

302
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:11,500
kingdom shall come future tense,
you remember that? 

303
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,600
Jesus was crucified. 
The next day. 

304
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,000
And placed in Joseph's new Tomb.
And on the Sabbath day, he slept

305
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,500
in the darkness and the Gloom of
that tomb. 

306
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:29,000
And on the third day, he came 
forth with beams of healing in 

307
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,700
his wings, to dispel the 
darkness Gloom of Calvary, and 

308
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,300
the grave. 
And to give man a view of that 

309
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:38,900
land, that's over Yonder Beyond 
deaths tied. 

310
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,900
And he stood over there on the 
mountain and gave the Great 

311
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:45,200
Commission and commissioned his 
disciples. 

312
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,700
He spent 40 days showing himself
by many infallible proofs that 

313
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:53,500
he was indeed alive. 
He appeared to over five hundred

314
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:57,700
Brethren at one time, we're told
by Paul in 50 chapter First 

315
00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:00,700
Corinthians. 
And finally when those 40 days 

316
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:04,500
were over, he led the mount to 
mount all of it, all of it as 

317
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:08,700
such sweet and tender memories. 
And there he began to talk to 

318
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:12,900
them in terms about their Duty, 
no doubt. 

319
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,300
And one of the disciples said to
him, Lord. 

320
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,800
Weird. 
When thou at this time restore 

321
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:25,600
the kingdom again to Israel. 
And Jesus said, it's not for you

322
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,100
to know the times or the seasons
which the father has put in his 

323
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:32,800
own power but ye shall receive 
power after that. 

324
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,000
The Holy Ghost is come upon you.
In other words, they understood 

325
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:41,800
the kingdom hasn't come and 
Jesus informed them. 

326
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,400
It hasn't come, you have the 
wrong idea of it, but you will 

327
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,400
gain the right idea when the 
Holy Spirit comes, Now in the 

328
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:57,000
vision of Daniel Daniel the 7th 
chapter, we hear Daniel 

329
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:01,100
explaining what happened. 
You remember how that Jesus 

330
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:07,100
Arose. 
He began to rise up into the air

331
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,000
and a cloud received him out of 
their sight. 

332
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,500
And as I stood looking up into 
the heavens where Jesus had 

333
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:21,600
gone, we hear him saying the 
Angels saying, you men of 

334
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Galilee why stand ye here gazing
up into heaven, for this same 

335
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,500
Jesus, which you have seen go 
into heaven, shall so come in 

336
00:23:29,508 --> 00:23:33,400
like manner, as ye have seen him
go into heaven. 

337
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:41,700
Jesus left, but we have in the 
seventh chapter of Daniel. 

338
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,500
A picture from God's viewpoint. 
Then you'll say it in Daniel 7 

339
00:23:48,500 --> 00:23:51,600
and 13. 
I saw in the night visions and 

340
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
behold. 
One like unto the son of man 

341
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,300
came with the clouds of heaven 
and came to the Ancient of Days 

342
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:02,600
that could be none other than 
God himself and they brought him

343
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,800
near before him and there was 
given him dominion and glory and

344
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,400
a kingdom that all people 
Nations and languages should 

345
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600
serve him. 
His Dominion is an everlasting 

346
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,200
Dominion which shall not pass. 
Us away and his kingdom that, 

347
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:25,500
which shall not be destroyed. 
So, there is god's picture of 

348
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:27,900
what happened. 
When Jesus ascended to Heaven, 

349
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:32,700
you remember that? 
Some 10 days later the disciples

350
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,400
were there in the city of 
Jerusalem, all with one Accord 

351
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,300
in one place. 
And we're going to see what 

352
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:42,200
happened. 
Incidentally. 

353
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:51,500
Coming from the other angle. 
We see that John the, the one to

354
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,800
whom the Revelation was given. 
Sometimes people call him the 

355
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,300
Revelator, but actually Jesus 
was the Revelator. 

356
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,400
John was the Revel 80, I guess 
you could say. 

357
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,800
And John said, I John who also 
am your brother and companion in

358
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,900
Tribulation and in the kingdom 
and patience of Jesus Christ. 

359
00:25:13,300 --> 00:25:16,400
So John I was in the Kingdom, 
wasn't he? 

360
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,900
Now, let's notice the 
definitions of the word Church 

361
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,100
and Kingdom. 
Some people don't see how that 

362
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:28,500
could be the same institution, 
but I submit that it is because 

363
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:32,700
the church comes from a word, 
that means the called out. 

364
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:36,700
And when we are members of the 
church were called out of the 

365
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:41,400
world, it's an assembly. 
It's an assemblage of those who 

366
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800
are saved, the Church of Christ 
would be See those who were 

367
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,100
called out by him. 
Now in the Kingdom that 

368
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:54,000
describes it from the standpoint
that the Christ is King. 

369
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,300
Now, in order to have a kingdom 
there for things that are 

370
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:02,400
necessary, you have to have a 
king, you have to have subjects,

371
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,500
you have to have laws and you 
have to have a territory. 

372
00:26:06,900 --> 00:26:11,400
Now, Jesus may have had subjects
and a law while he's on Earth, 

373
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:15,800
but he had no territory. 
But in You're 28 and 18. 

374
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,600
Jesus said, all power is given 
unto me in heaven and in Earth, 

375
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,600
go, ye, therefore, and teach All
Nations. 

376
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:29,200
John was in the Kingdom. 
So it had to come after Jesus 

377
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,200
Ascension into heaven, and 
before John who gave the Book of

378
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,100
Revelation got into it. 
So now let's come back word to 

379
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:43,900
the, to the time of the 
Kingdom's, establishment notice?

380
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:49,100
We have said over here even at 
Jesus Ascension at his 

381
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,600
crucifixion. 
His Ascension into heaven the 

382
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,600
kingdom had not yet come because
the disciples are asking Lord 

383
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,200
wilt thou at this time restore 
unto us the kingdom unto Israel.

384
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,300
So the kingdom had come at that 
point yet over here when John 

385
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:12,000
wrote the Book of Revelation and
AD 96 we find John saying that 

386
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,200
he was in the Kingdom so 
somewhere In this period of 

387
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,600
time, the kingdom had to come 
and be established. 

388
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:22,400
We're going to find out from 
God's word when that happened 

389
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:27,400
again in Colossians. 1 verses, 
13 and 14. 

390
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:30,700
We hear Jesus. 
We hear of the Apostle Paul 

391
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:35,500
saying who act delivered us from
the power of darkness and hath 

392
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:39,600
translated us into the kingdom 
of God's dear son. 

393
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:44,600
Now that means that when Paul 
wrote his Letter to the 

394
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Colossians somewhere along here.
That the Kingdom at that time 

395
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,300
wants and existence Also let's 
see if we can find another 

396
00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:57,700
scripture again in Acts the 
second chapter and verse 47. 

397
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:02,900
You remember that on the day of 
Pentecost, the Bible says in 

398
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:07,000
Acts 2:47 they having favor with
all the people and the Lord 

399
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,900
added to the church daily. 
Such as should be saved. 

400
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,000
So this was some 10 days after 
Jesus. 

401
00:28:14,100 --> 00:28:18,100
Jesus Ascension to heaven, we 
find people being added to the 

402
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:20,400
church. 
So if the Lord added to the 

403
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,100
church daily, it's conclusive 
that the church at this point in

404
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:28,100
time, had an existence. 
Now couldn't have been set up, 

405
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:31,100
nor it couldn't of the Kingdom. 
Couldn't have been established 

406
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:35,100
later than the day of Pentecost,
but we've learned that only 10 

407
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:38,700
days before Pentecost. 
It hadn't been established. 

408
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:43,400
Now, let's notice again in Mark 
the 9th chapter and verse 1, 

409
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:46,500
Here. 
Jesus told his disciples verily.

410
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:49,400
I say unto you. 
That there be some of them that 

411
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,800
stand here which shall not taste
of death. 

412
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,000
Till they have seen the kingdom 
of God. 

413
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,900
Come with power. 
This is before the cross when 

414
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,700
Jesus was here upon the earth. 
Now notice what he said, he said

415
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:05,300
there's going to be some 
standing here which shall not 

416
00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:07,500
taste of death. 
Till they have seen the kingdom 

417
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:12,600
come with power. 
The Old Time, Gospel preacher 

418
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,000
said, you know if we can find It
out. 

419
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,800
When the power came, we can find
out when the kingdom came. 

420
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:22,800
And of course, if we can find 
out that then we know what time 

421
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,400
that was. 
All right, let's try again. 

422
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:30,200
In Acts 1 and verse 8, we hear 
Jesus saying to the disciples 

423
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,400
just before he ascended, you 
shall receive power after that. 

424
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,100
The Holy Ghost is come upon you.
Look here, if we can find out 

425
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:43,000
when the Holy Ghost came, we can
find out when the power came, if

426
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,300
we find out when Power came, we 
can find out when the kingdom 

427
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:49,400
came can't. 
Wait, can we find out when the 

428
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Holy Ghost came? 
Well, I believe we can turn over

429
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,400
there. 
The second chapter of Acts at 

430
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,000
verse 1, where the Bible says. 
And when the day of Pentecost 

431
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,600
was fully come, they were all 
with one Accord in one place. 

432
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,700
And suddenly, there came a sound
from Heaven as of a rushing, 

433
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:08,000
Mighty Wind, it filled, all the 
place, where they were sitting, 

434
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,900
there appeared unto them, cloven
tongues, like as of fire, and it

435
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:15,200
sat upon each of them and they 
were all I failed with the Holy 

436
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,900
Ghost and began to speak with 
other tongues, as the spirit, 

437
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:22,900
gave them utterance. 
So we found out that the Holy 

438
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:25,700
Ghost came on the day of 
Pentecost. 

439
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:30,600
We know it was about 9:00 in the
morning from the context of that

440
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,900
passage. 
Well, when the Holy Ghost came 

441
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:36,600
to power came and when the power
came, that's when the kingdom 

442
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,800
came, we've pinpointed the time 
that the kingdom or the Church 

443
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,700
of Our Lord was established. 
I'd like to On out, that that 

444
00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:48,300
day. 
Jesus rule on Earth, began the 

445
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:51,700
mountain of the Lord's House was
there, and then established in 

446
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:55,500
the highest government on Earth,
in the top of the mountains and 

447
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:59,000
the god of Heaven set up that 
Kingdom, which shall never be 

448
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000
destroyed. 
That was a wonderful occasion 

449
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,700
that day. 
Because on that day, at energize

450
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:10,000
the apostles, and we hear the 
Apostle Peter standing up and 

451
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,700
being the spokesman of the hour,
if you will, he preached A 

452
00:31:13,708 --> 00:31:16,900
wonderful sermon that day in 
which he set forth. 

453
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:19,900
The fact that Jesus was indeed 
the Christ. 

454
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:24,300
The anointed one of God, the one
that the prophet spoke about and

455
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:27,800
he said that it wasn't David 
that he was talking about when 

456
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,700
he said over there, Thou shalt 
not suffer thine, Holy One to 

457
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:34,200
see corruption nor his flesh to 
see corruption. 

458
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,600
He said that referred to Christ 
and then he came down to the 

459
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,100
climax of his sermon down there 
in verse 36. 

460
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:45,400
When he said, let all the House 
of Israel know assuredly that 

461
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,500
God hath made that same Jesus 
whom you crucified both Lord and

462
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:53,400
Christ. 
Now I want to tell you this when

463
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,700
that was spoken that was like a 
hammer breaking. 

464
00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:00,800
Those old Stony hearts into 
pieces because they realize they

465
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,600
had crucified godson, they'd 
kill the Lord Of Glory, and they

466
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,500
began to cry out and say men and
Brethren. 

467
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,700
What shall we do? 
Peter standing up with the 

468
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:15,800
eleven said, repented Be 
baptized every one of you in the

469
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,200
name of Jesus Christ for the 
remission of sins and ye shall 

470
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,400
receive the gift of the Holy 
Ghost for the promise, is unto 

471
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,200
you to them that are far too to 
your children, to them, that are

472
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,100
far off as many as the Lord. 
Our God shall call with many 

473
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:32,200
other words. 
Did he testify and exhort 

474
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,700
saying, save yourselves from 
this untoward generation. 

475
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:39,500
The Bible says, they that gladly
received his word were baptized 

476
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:42,800
and there were added unto them 
that day about three thousand 

477
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,200
Souls. 
They continued steadfastly in 

478
00:32:45,208 --> 00:32:47,800
the apostles Doctrine and 
fellowship and breaking of bread

479
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,300
and in prayers, fear Came Upon 
every soul and Many Wonders and 

480
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:55,300
signs were done by the apostles.
Then we read down there in verse

481
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:57,900
47. 
It says having favor with all 

482
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:00,700
the people and the Lord added to
the church daily. 

483
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:05,500
Such as should be saved. 
Wasn't that a wonderful occasion

484
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:07,400
in Ephesians? 
The first chapter? 

485
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,900
And verse 20? 
We hear Paul saying which he 

486
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:13,300
wrought in Christ when he raised
him from the dead and set him in

487
00:33:13,308 --> 00:33:15,000
his own. 
Own right hand in the Heavenly 

488
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,400
places. 
Far above all principality and 

489
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,100
power and might and dominion and
every name that is named not 

490
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:24,900
only in this world but also in 
that which is to come and it's 

491
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,500
made him to be head over all 
things to the church, which is 

492
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:32,900
his body, the fullness of him 
that filleth all in all. 

493
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:37,300
Now, there's a question. 
When was Jesus set at God's 

494
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,600
right hand as Paul spoke of 
there in Ephesians the first 

495
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,400
chapter? 
Well, Acts 2 and verse 33 says, 

496
00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:49,100
therefore being by the right 
hand of God, exalted and having 

497
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:52,600
received of the Father, the 
promise of the Holy Ghost, he 

498
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,900
has shared forth this which you 
now. 

499
00:33:54,900 --> 00:34:00,100
See, and hear that occasion, was
that great and notable day of 

500
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:02,800
the Lord. 
Isaiah said, it shall come to 

501
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:10,100
pass in the last days. 
When acts 2:17 it shall come to 

502
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:14,500
pass in the last days. 
Saith God, I will pour out of my

503
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:19,000
spirit upon All Flesh. 
You know what Peter said this is

504
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,199
that that was spoken by the 
prophet Joel. 

505
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,100
It was the last days. 
Zachariah, one in 16 said 

506
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,500
therefore thus saith the Lord. 
I'm returned to Jerusalem with 

507
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:35,000
mercies my house. 
Shall be built in it. 

508
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:37,800
Saith the Lord. 
Of hosts and the lion shall be 

509
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,600
stretched forth upon Jerusalem 
in Luke, 24 and verse 46. 

510
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:47,699
Jesus said, thus, it is written,
and thus it behoove Christ has 

511
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:51,100
suffered to rise from the dead. 
The third day that repentance 

512
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:54,800
and remission of sins should be 
preached in his name, among all 

513
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,400
nations, beginning at Jerusalem,
and you are witnesses of these 

514
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,800
things. 
And behold I send the promise of

515
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,600
my father upon you but tarry ye 
in the city of Jerusalem until 

516
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,800
you be Endued with power from on
high. 

517
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,100
Jesus told his disciples that 
the preaching of the Gospel was 

518
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:17,300
to begin at Jerusalem and all 
the events that we've mentioned 

519
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:20,600
here tonight took place there 
also. 

520
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,600
So this strengthens the whole of
what we have said acts 11 and 

521
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,700
verse 18 says that Peter in 
recounting his mission to the 

522
00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:33,200
Gentiles over there at the house
of Cornelius. 

523
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Said, as I began to speak The 
Holy Ghost fell on them, has on 

524
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,700
us at the beginning, that was 
the beginning of the church. 

525
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:48,800
The beginning of the reign of 
Jesus, since the apostles 

526
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,700
received, the Holy Spirit, on 
the day of Pentecost, it follows

527
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:56,700
that the day of Pentecost is the
day that the mountain of the 

528
00:35:56,707 --> 00:36:02,500
Lord's House was established. 
Now that happened about 9:00 in 

529
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:06,500
the morning. 
You remember Peter said, This is

530
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:11,400
the third hour of the day that 
was at 9:00 in the morning. 

531
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,100
And so, we've established here 
tonight that the church that 

532
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:21,400
Jesus Built that Kingdom, that 
was prophesied by Isaiah and by 

533
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,700
Daniel, and by those prophets of
the Old Testament, had its 

534
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:28,400
Inception. 
Its beginning shortly. 

535
00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:33,900
After Jesus crucifixion upon the
cross, some 53 days, after he 

536
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:38,800
was crucified, And it has 
continued since that time. 

537
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:43,500
Now, the Lord willing tomorrow 
night, we're going to trace the 

538
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:48,100
Journey of the church down 
Through the Ages as briefly as 

539
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:51,700
we can, in the amount of time 
that is allotted to us. 

540
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,900
But tonight, I'm through with 
this lesson and I hope that in 

541
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:00,900
this study that we've had 
tonight, as brief as it is, that

542
00:37:00,900 --> 00:37:03,800
you've been able to catch a 
glimpse of that Kingdom, that 

543
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:07,200
shall never pass. 
Away shall never be destroyed 

544
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,900
that. 
Daniel, and Isaiah spoke about. 

545
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,700
Here's the wonderful thing about
this tonight. 

546
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,000
You and I can be members of that
church that Kingdom Jesus said, 

547
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,500
you know, to his disciples. 
He said I pointed to you a 

548
00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:24,900
kingdom. 
My table in My Kingdom, that you

549
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:28,500
may eat and drink at my table, 
in My Kingdom. 

550
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:33,100
Jesus has a kingdom in that 
kingdom is his church. 

551
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,400
He said to Peter, I'm going to 
build my church and I'll give 

552
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,900
you the keys to the kingdom of 
heaven. 

553
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,600
So we understand then the church
and the kingdom described that 

554
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,500
institution that Jesus promised 
to build and the prophets spoke 

555
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,300
of in the Old Testament, and 
here's the wonderful part. 

556
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:54,600
You and I can have a part in 
that great Kingdom. 

557
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,200
And the way that we do that is 
by casting off all man-made, 

558
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,200
opinions, and ideas, and simply 
taking God at his word. 

559
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:08,300
Now, on that day of Pentecost, 
when people first become members

560
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:12,300
of it, they became Believers in.
Jesus Christ. 

561
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,600
They'd heard Peters matchless 
sermon, and they realize their 

562
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,900
guilt and their distance from 
God. 

563
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,600
And so Peter told them to do the
next Thing which is to repent 

564
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,500
and be baptized. 
And the Bible says they that 

565
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:30,300
gladly received his word were 
baptized. 

566
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,300
Now, here's a question. 
I want you to consider very 

567
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,600
carefully tonight. 
If the Lord added people to the 

568
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:44,100
church back in Bible times his 
church, who simply did what 

569
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:48,400
Peter said, wouldn't the Lord 
adds you to the same 

570
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,900
institution? 
If you did the same things, they

571
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:55,500
did sure he would because the 
Bible says, in Acts the 10th 

572
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,400
chapter, and the believe it's 
verse 43, that God is no 

573
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,800
respecter of persons. 
He's no respecter of persons in 

574
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,600
every nation, he that feareth 
God and worketh righteousness is

575
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,200
accepted with him so that means 
that that you can be a member of

576
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,700
that church without ever joining
any human denomination. 

577
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:19,500
You can yield obedience to the 
gospel of Christ and the Lord 

578
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:23,800
will add you to his church just 
like he did those back there on 

579
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,000
the day of Pentecost. 
That's a wonderful and great 

580
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,300
blessing. 
We don't have to pass in review 

581
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:32,500
before some board of a cliche 
See a sticks and be voted on. 

582
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:34,900
We don't have to join it as 
though. 

583
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:38,000
We were joining, some Human 
Institution will obey the 

584
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
gospel. 
The Lord saves us for our sins. 

585
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:45,200
He adds us to the church, he 
writes our names in his Lamb's 

586
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,300
Book of Life and we have that 
hope of Life Beyond this Vale of

587
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,800
tears, I may be speaking to 
someone tonight. 

588
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:54,000
Who would walk right down the 
aisle? 

589
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:58,300
Make that good confession. 
I believe that Jesus Christ, the

590
00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,900
son of God be immersed in water.
ER, in the name of the Sacred 

591
