1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:04,400
I'm going to turn this morning 
to God's word. 

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,100
We're turning to the prophecy of
hi guy, haggai chapter 2 and I'm

3
00:00:13,107 --> 00:00:16,400
going to read from verse 22. 
The ant. 

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,700
Hi guy. 
Chapter 2. 

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,300
First 20. 
Let's hear the word of the Lord.

6
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:30,900
Hi guy. 
Chapter 2. 

7
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:37,800
Verse 20. 
And again, the word of the Lord 

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,700
came unto High guy in the four 
and twentieth day of the month, 

9
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,700
saying Speak to jerubbaal 
governor of Judah, saying I will

10
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,800
shake the heavens and the Earth 
and I will overthrow the Throne 

11
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,700
of Kingdoms and I will destroy 
the strength of the kingdoms of 

12
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:58,700
the Heathen and I will overthrow
the Chariots and those that ride

13
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,800
in there and the horses and 
their Riders shall come down 

14
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:05,200
every one by the sword of his 
brother. 

15
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,900
In that day, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

16
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:13,400
Will I take thee o zerubbabel my
servant the son of she LTE. 

17
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,300
Saith the Lord and I will make 
thee. 

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,500
As a segment for I have, chosen 
a saith, the Lord of hosts. 

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,300
My text this morning is taken 
from high guy. 

20
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:32,400
Chapter 2 verses 2223 that I've 
read and I want to preach in the

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,300
theme today that I've entitled 
on there. 

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,800
Astounding, God's Sovereign 
purpose. 

23
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,600
You see how Eye Guy chapter 2 
verses 2223 is the last out of 

24
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,400
four, sermons preached by the 
prophet haggai to certain Jews 

25
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,900
and the ruined city of 
Jerusalem. 

26
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,500
These Jews had returned from the
land of their captivity in 

27
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,700
Babylon. 
They totaled 50,000. 

28
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:06,300
And number the year, was 520 BC 
and their task was to Build the 

29
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:10,199
templates Arista. 
Remember the temple has lay in 

30
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:15,900
and ruins for 70 years, every 
stone, the rubble that they 

31
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,900
could see edele as a silent 
testimony to the true cost of 

32
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,700
for seeking God. 
The true cost of departing from 

33
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:30,000
his law. 
These ruins testified this is 

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,700
what apostasy does Jerusalem. 
Itself was also in ruins, the 

35
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,500
walls have been Toppled. 
The gates have been burned with 

36
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:38,900
fire. 
The treasures have been 

37
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,500
plundered tens of thousands, 
have been put to Death By The 

38
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:48,300
Sword and hundreds of thousands 
have been exiled to the land of 

39
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,900
Babylon. 
They were there for 70 years and

40
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:58,000
after 70 years, God visited his 
people and after the death of 

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,800
the last ruler of Babylon, the 
medes and Persians conquered 

42
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,300
Babylon. 
I'm the first king was King, 

43
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:14,500
Cyrus and under King, Cyrus the 
King of Persia. 

44
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,100
He issued a decree for the Jews 
to return to their Homeland to 

45
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,600
oversee, the rebuilding of the 
temple. 

46
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:25,800
They remember the temple is the 
most important building in the 

47
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,900
ruined City 50,000 of return to 
start the work of rebuilding. 

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400
This was a momentous occasion 
this we could say was a fresh 

49
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,700
start. 
This was a new beginning. 

50
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,200
This was a day of Revival and as
the began the work with all the 

51
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,700
pre is that, that would have 
brought they discovered it 

52
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:49,100
wasn't a fight has problems. 
Certain hostile enemies, certain

53
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,700
nieghbors opposed the rebuilding
of the temple. 

54
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:54,700
At first, they hired counselors 
to try and interfere in the work

55
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,900
then they offered to come and 
assist in the work and the ended

56
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,700
up writing to King Cyrus and 
accusing. 

57
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:04,900
These Jews of treason. 
King, Cyrus ordered, the work to

58
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:11,100
stop and for 14 years, nothing 
more was done in the Tampa. 

59
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,000
These Jews, they concentrated on
building their own homes. 

60
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:19,000
This was a day and a period of 
grit, a perfect. 

61
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,300
The children of Israel became so
busy with their own lives and 

62
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:26,600
houses that they lost hard for 
the work of God. 

63
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,600
This problem of apathy was not 
their only problem. 

64
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,300
The fearlessness persecuting 
attack from, without these 

65
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,600
hostile neighbors. 
And they also faced the problem 

66
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,700
of discouragement, you see, the 
older man, still at this new 

67
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:47,400
Temple would be nothing in 
comparison to Solomon's Temple 

68
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:52,900
and these problems. 
Apathy the problem of this 

69
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,400
persecution and opposition from 
without. 

70
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,500
And this problem of 
discouragement they had a 

71
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:04,500
devastating Stating impact on 
these random Jews so much so 

72
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:09,900
that they had no stomach for the
work for 14 years and then in 

73
00:05:09,900 --> 00:05:12,300
God's. 
Good Providence Helia stop. 

74
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:15,300
Hi guy to call the people back 
to work. 

75
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,500
How guy has of told you preached
for messages the first message, 

76
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:25,100
haggai preached Hi guy, 1 verses
1 to 15. 

77
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:30,500
It was a call to repent and to 
put the Lord First, Matthew 6, 

78
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:34,000
and 33 says seek, ye first, the 
kingdom of God and his 

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
righteousness and all these 
other things shall be added unto

80
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
you. 
And I believe that's a message 

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,200
that we also need to hear in our
day, the Church of Jesus Christ 

82
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,300
is a problem with apathy, a 
problem with opposition and 

83
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:49,800
persecution. 
A problem of discouragement. 

84
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Carelessness asset and slack 
this asset and word in this 

85
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,200
asset and in what areas and 
knowing gaunt and Bible. 

86
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,600
Reading some Christians. 
Never read their Bible from one 

87
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,500
week to the next. 
Do any portion of scripture they

88
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:05,300
read as the one that's read in 
the house of God and the Lord 

89
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:10,500
staying in relation to prayer, 
smallest meeting of the church. 

90
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:16,700
Few calls for half nature prayer
and nature prayer, despite the 

91
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,100
steel in the land. 
But where's our passion for 

92
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,600
souls and our love for what the 
sink? 

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Let the redeemed of the Lord 
say. 

94
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,700
So where's our quest for 
Holiness and holy living? 

95
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,500
See up with a carelessness. 
Slackness word is all is 

96
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:31,600
ticking. 
It's tool. 

97
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,500
The second message that high guy
preached is in Chapter 2, verses

98
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,100
1 to 9. 
It was a message of get 

99
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:39,600
encouragement of God's people 
because he said to them, get 

100
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,100
your raise and Gold's person. 
Eurasian God's presence. 

101
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:49,000
God's provision, God's power. 
The third message chapter 2 

102
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,900
verses 10 to 19 emphasize the 
importance of serving God with a

103
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:56,800
pure heart and the beauty of 
Holiness and the ended up with a

104
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,300
promise of divine blessing as 
the seed yet in the barn. 

105
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,300
Yay. 
As yet the vein and the Fig Tree

106
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,100
in the pomegranate and the Olive
Tree have not brought forth from

107
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:14,700
the stay, Well, I bless you. 
And then, the fourth message was

108
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:16,700
preached on. 
Exactly the same day as the 

109
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:23,100
third message. 
If you compare 2:10 on 2:20, and

110
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:26,300
this last message was directed 
to jerubbaal. 

111
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:30,700
The Civil leader. 
See the nation was in turmoil. 

112
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:35,200
As I've said, it was a day of 
great APA thing, a day of 

113
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,900
opposition and persecution by 
these hostile enemies, a day of 

114
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:45,200
great discouragement and in 
order to Emphasize and reinforce

115
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,500
the message that God was evil, 
and God was going to bless his 

116
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:53,100
people. 
He wanted the leader in the 

117
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:56,000
people to understand. 
This is what the fourth message 

118
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,900
about God's Sovereign purpose. 
And that's what we're going to 

119
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:03,900
think about this morning. 
I preach this last week and cool

120
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:07,100
Ray and I preached it a few 
weeks ago, on a Wednesday night,

121
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,900
prayer meeting, at least I 
brought a few thoughts. 

122
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:12,000
And that's what we're going to 
think about at this time. 

123
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,500
One think about the sovereignty 
of God's definite plan. 

124
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:22,200
You see if God is absolutely 
Sovereign and I believe he is, 

125
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,900
then he must have a definite 
plan for world history. 

126
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:32,100
It must have a definite plan for
creation for his creatures for 

127
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:37,100
his children for his church. 
And when I read, hi guy chapter 

128
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:44,400
2, especially versus 22 rate. 
Don't and verse 23, I got 

129
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,600
excited because I discovered 
word. 

130
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,200
God has a definite plan. 
Here's a statement of fact, 

131
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,200
listen to these words, I will 
shake the heavens and the Earth.

132
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,500
And I will overthrow the Throne 
of Kingdoms and I will destroy 

133
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:07,200
the strength of the kingdoms of 
the Heathen and I will overthrow

134
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,500
the Chariots and those that ride
in them and the horses and their

135
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,100
Riders shall come down every one
by the sword of his brother. 

136
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,300
In that day, saith the Lord of 
hosts will I take the user of of

137
00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:19,500
my servant the son of shealtiel?
Saith the Lord. 

138
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,800
And I will make the is a segment
for I have chosen thee, saith, 

139
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,200
the Lord of hosts. now, six 
times in the space of three 

140
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,900
versus you should notice that 
you've got 6, I Wills We'll call

141
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:38,600
them the I Wills of God. 
And here's what God is saying 

142
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,600
by, whoever statement of fact 
that he was going to do, he 

143
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,100
says, in verse 22, I will 
overthrow the Thrones of 

144
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:51,100
Kingdoms. 
Who she thinking about well 

145
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:55,700
Nebuchadnezzar ruler of Babylon 
belteshazzar. 

146
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,600
His successor Darius, the mede 
Cyrus King of Persia. 

147
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:10,700
You see these men represented, 
the greatest Empire in the 

148
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,900
kingdoms of this world. 
The kingdom of Persia was 

149
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:21,100
explore example, stretch from 
Egypt to India, 127 provinces, 

150
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:25,500
and these men were powerful, 
man, man with great Authority 

151
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,600
man to be feared. 
These were totalitarian rulers, 

152
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:38,800
and yet, the Lord of hosts, As 
such a sovereign, God, who 

153
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,700
controls all the Affairs of 
angels, demons, man, world 

154
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:48,600
events. 
Tame all human history. 

155
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:53,300
We could say, if it our god, he 
has the whole world under his 

156
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:56,600
control. 
It's all under his command, is 

157
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,700
he? 
Jerubbaal knew what the Throne 

158
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,300
of Cyrus represented. 
Because at that time, the Throne

159
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:09,900
of Cyrus stood for complete, 
absolute power unchallengeable 

160
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:15,500
power. 
Unalterable power and yet, 

161
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:20,600
here's the message. 
There is the Throne of God above

162
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,100
every one of these Thrones. 
Revelation 4 and 2001 sudden the

163
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:31,600
film and from that Throne. 
God sovereignly dispenses, his 

164
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,700
eternal plan and purpose. 
You see God's Throne. 

165
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,900
The Throne of absolute greatness
because only God is great. 

166
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,200
God's. 
Throne is a god of Throne of 

167
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,600
absolute government. 
Holy and pure and Justin through

168
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,300
government God's Throne the 
Throne of Greece because that's 

169
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:52,500
the basis that he deals with his
creatures. 

170
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:58,000
His children his church, his 
creation and God's Throne to God

171
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,400
of a throne of glory and surely.
That's a message that we need to

172
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,700
hear today. 
A message about the sovereignty 

173
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:10,900
of God and I believe that even 
and carried off their PC like 

174
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:12,700
it's true. 
If the free Presbyterian Church,

175
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:16,300
we need a vision of the total 
sovereignty of God. 

176
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,800
This is not a mere academic 
truth. 

177
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,700
This is not a mere Theory. 
This is not even a great 

178
00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:29,200
theological truth but this is a 
fatal truth and it will inspire 

179
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,800
confidence. 
It will bring encouragement. 

180
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800
It will breed comfort for the 
people of God. 

181
00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:41,300
See, I believe that this is what
the Church of Jesus Christ needs

182
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:44,300
today. 
Its leaders and its people. 

183
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:49,500
It needs to get a vision of the 
total sovereignty of God. 

184
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,800
There's a story told and I told 
us and went the night. 

185
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,700
A couple weeks ago, there's a 
church in Oregon. 

186
00:12:55,500 --> 00:13:00,300
The First Christian Church, I 
believe it was called They 

187
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,700
pastured put an ad in the paper 
next Sunday. 

188
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,400
Here's the subject. 
Whether it was a table by the 

189
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,700
pastor could have been you 
because he knew me and dyslexic 

190
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:14,200
or it could be in a table by the
editor who took the phone call. 

191
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:18,300
But this is what he wrote in the
paper Argan tree Saints. 

192
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:24,100
People saw the funny saint. 
What should it read our god 

193
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,100
reigns? 
But when you change the letter, 

194
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:30,900
i you can turn resigns and 
Dorien or radians and to resign,

195
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,100
and of course, the tax was the 
Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 

196
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:39,000
But isn't it? 
Sadly true. 

197
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,500
However, that in the experience 
of many of God's people today, 

198
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,000
they live as if God had 
resigned, as if God had the kid 

199
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,100
it has thrown. 
As if God had left the stage of 

200
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,900
world has to be as if God had 
abdicated. 

201
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,300
Well, here's the message, he 
hasn't he hasn't. 

202
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:01,500
Handed control to the devil even
hasn't handed control to the 

203
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,800
Wicket. 
This world is not out of 

204
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,100
control. 
This word is not in Tails. 

205
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,300
He has the whole world in his 
house. 

206
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:15,000
It is under his control and he 
is working to a definite master 

207
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,400
plan. 
Do you know that our God reans 

208
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,100
in the heavens? 
Not I and the greatness of his 

209
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:24,300
power readings and a holy, just 
and true government, reans, and 

210
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:30,400
Greece to bring a boat there 
rien of glory and what he doors.

211
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Is all according to his well 
he's always all-powerful 

212
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,300
all-knowing all-loving. 
Is he many of us of God's 

213
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:42,600
people, live and defeat. 
We live in despair. 

214
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,700
We live and died. 
We love with grit and 

215
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:48,300
discouragement and it's very 
easy to do that. 

216
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:53,100
When you have your age of God's 
throne, You think of the 

217
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:55,500
apostasy of the professing 
church? 

218
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,800
I think it's true to say the 
enemy has invaded the church. 

219
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:03,300
You know that there's churches 
and Northern Ireland like in 

220
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600
England, Scotland and Wales. 
It's also true in Europe. 

221
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,200
It's also true United States of 
America and Canada. 

222
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,900
These churches are openly run by
professed. 

223
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:19,900
Practicing homosexuals. 
What has happened? 

224
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,700
They've turned their back and 
biblical morality. 

225
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:26,900
There's set aside the standards 
of right and wrong. 

226
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:29,400
The throne The Ten Commandments 
are to the window. 

227
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,500
They've abandoned the authority 
of the scriptures you know that 

228
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:38,500
even the Lord's Prayer they want
that changed its offensive to 

229
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,300
them. 
Is he people see in the church 

230
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,500
pastors and elders and deacons 
and they have this badge of 

231
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,600
honor about them that they want 
to do what's right in their own 

232
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,600
eyes and the forgetting that the
scripture says to the law and to

233
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,100
the testimony, if they speak act
love, not according to this 

234
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:59,700
word, it is because there's no 
light in them. 

235
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,900
You see the gospel of these man 
preach. 

236
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:07,700
It's not a message that you need
to be see of from a life of sin.

237
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:12,300
It's not a message of Hope, and 
havin and a message of 

238
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:18,800
deliverance from hell. 
They use God and the things of 

239
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,100
God on Jesus Christ. 
I Stand as person or and they 

240
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:27,000
use it for personal fulfillment.
And again, We call it the health

241
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
and wealth gospel, which is a 
another gospel. 

242
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,200
I'm needin high. 
God's absolute sovereignty. 

243
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:40,300
And they put the sovereignty of 
man above the sovereignty of 

244
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:45,100
God. 
The cause of World missions is 

245
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:48,700
gone, there's no passion for 
Souls. 

246
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:52,500
Have no idea or concept of the 
sanctity of the Lord's Day. 

247
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:57,300
Some have even Fallen filed by 
age, just advocating, nine out 

248
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:01,000
of the 10 commandments for 
today, support for gay. 

249
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,099
Marrige you think of the state 
of the country? 

250
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,300
Thankful for the protest 
yesterday against abortion? 

251
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,000
But there's other moral evils 
homosexual, lifestyle this. 

252
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,099
Whoa, chasm. 
This gender ideology drunkenness

253
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,099
drugs the party. 
See what is all that I listened 

254
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:23,000
to recently? 
The can harm and he says it's a 

255
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,800
symptom of Abandonment of the 
complete authority of scripture 

256
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,700
and that is true and that's the 
state of the church. 

257
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,700
That's the state of the country,
Warren to them, that call evil 

258
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:41,700
good and good evil and yet the 
Spate that date and despite the 

259
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:46,000
darkness and the despair. 
And the discouragement. even 

260
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,900
though the church is of pasta 
taste and even though the state 

261
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:55,300
of the country is dark and 
Blake, It's all under God's 

262
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:59,000
Sovereign control. 
God controls all events times in

263
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,700
people's at listen, to the word 
of God. 

264
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:05,600
And as I have 14 and verse 24, 
it says the Lord of hosts have 

265
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,200
sworn saying, surely as I have 
thought, so shall it come to 

266
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,700
pass? 
And as I have proposed so shall 

267
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:18,000
it? 
Stand And as I had chapter 46, 

268
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,400
we read remember this and show 
yourselves, man. 

269
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,500
Bring it again to mine, don't 
you? 

270
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,500
Transgressors remember, the 
former things of old for I am 

271
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:30,000
God and there is none else. 
I am God and there is none like 

272
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,200
me declaring the end from the 
beginning. 

273
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,000
And from ancient times the 
things that are not yet done 

274
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
saying my counsel shall stand 
and I will do all my good 

275
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:46,000
pleasure. 
This is a statement of fact 

276
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:48,800
because I just tell you 
something else very quickly, 

277
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,800
it's a statement of focus. 
Gold is absolutely Sovereign. 

278
00:18:54,100 --> 00:18:58,100
Discover that today, I'll tell 
you something else, God has 

279
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,700
actively Sovereign, God is at 
work. 

280
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,100
Think of these six. 
I wills it not only confirms 

281
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:10,100
that God has a definite plan and
purpose but God is at work to 

282
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:11,400
fulfill. 
The plan. 

283
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
God is at work today for 
felling. 

284
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,800
His eternal purpose, he's not 
going to feel notice. 

285
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,000
He says, I will shake the 
heavens. 

286
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,700
On the earth, the whole of 
creation is under his control. 

287
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,200
There's not a part of that 
creation that's not under his 

288
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200
control. 
God is Sovereign even in 

289
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,500
relation to the weather patterns
and, and climate change Heroes. 

290
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:39,400
The Sun, the moon, and the stars
and the planets, he rules the 

291
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,100
fish in the sea, he rules over 
our weather patras, the seasons 

292
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:49,400
of the year are under his 
control seed, time and harvest. 

293
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:52,300
Has under his control. 
Genesis, he didn't want me to 

294
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:55,100
see The Wind Blows the 
reinforce. 

295
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,700
The the snow comes, the ace. 
It's all under his rule. 

296
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:07,800
He's not a wick important and 
significant irrelevant God. 

297
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,100
Our God is Sovereign in the 
heavens. 

298
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,600
I did the earth, I'll tell you 
something else. 

299
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
He's not only an absolute 
Sovereign and an act of 

300
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,500
sovereign but God is 
authoritatively Sovereign. 

301
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
God can't be overthrown. 
God can't be overwhelmed. 

302
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,100
God can't be outsmarted. 
Her overcome. 

303
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:32,500
He's also an authentic 
Sovereign. 

304
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800
He's not pretending he's not a 
fake. 

305
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,500
Is he God's? 
Sovereign plan is unchangeable. 

306
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:41,800
Malachi 3 and 6 a.m. the Lord a 
change. 

307
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,400
Not therefore, ye sons of Jacob 
are not consumed. 

308
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,600
Psalm 19 to says, from 
Everlasting to Everlasting Thou 

309
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,600
Art God, as I have 40 ask the 
question in relation to God in 

310
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Isaiah, 40, and verse 28. 
Listen to these words. 

311
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,400
As I have 40 and 20 and house, 
do I not know hast thou? 

312
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Not heard that the Everlasting 
God, the Lord, the creator of 

313
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,800
the ends of the Earth fiend. 
Of not neither is weary. 

314
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:16,500
There is no searching. 
Of us Understanding God's plan 

315
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,600
is a reversible. 
He's saying to us, I will do 

316
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,100
this six things, he's telling us
is going to do and you see what 

317
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:27,200
are we discovered? 
Well you can't fight against God

318
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,200
and when Because God's plan is 
irresistible. 

319
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:37,400
He told hi guy and I got chapter
2 and verse 6 for thus, saith 

320
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,100
the Lord of hosts yet. 
Once it is a little while and I 

321
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,600
will shake the heavens and the 
earth and the Sea and the dry 

322
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,200
land and I will shake All 
Nations and the desire of all 

323
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,100
Nations shall come and I will 
fill this house with Glory, 

324
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,400
Seth, The Lord of hosts. 
Where is Bob along today? 

325
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Young people where are the medes
and the Persians, where's the 

326
00:22:02,808 --> 00:22:07,500
create Grecian Empire of 
Alexander the greed, where's the

327
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:11,900
Roman Empire? 
Well, they're gone, why? 

328
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,900
Because the kingdom of God, 
prevails over the kingdom of 

329
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,100
mom. 
And the kingdom of my own does 

330
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:21,700
not able to withstand the 
kingdom of God and God uses 

331
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:25,000
dreitzer earthquakes floods 
plagues from damage and he 

332
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,600
brings down the armies of man 
because God's plan is a 

333
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,700
resistible and God's plan is 
unique. 

334
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,000
Do you know that haggai chapter 
2? 

335
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Verse 6 was used by the Apostle 
Paul. 

336
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:41,700
Turn over there to Hebrews 
chapter 12 and look with me at 

337
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:45,200
verse 26. 
Hebrews chapter 12, and verse 

338
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,200
26. 
Here's an important text of 

339
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:54,300
scripture. 
Whose voice then shook the Earth

340
00:22:54,900 --> 00:23:01,500
but not he have promising. 
Yet once more, I will shake, not

341
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:07,800
the Earth only but also heaven. 
And this word yet once more 

342
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,400
signify at the removing of those
things that are shaken out of 

343
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,600
things that are made that those 
things, which cannot be shaken. 

344
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:21,000
May remain, who's wherefore? 
We receiving a kingdom, which 

345
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,500
cannot be moved. 
Let us have Grace whereby. 

346
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,700
We may serve God acceptably, 
with reverence and godly fear 

347
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:33,400
for our gold as a Humming fire. 
You see Paul applied have high 

348
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,400
GI 2 and 6 in the book of 
Hebrews to the furtherance of 

349
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,000
the gospel and the establishment
of God's kingdom. 

350
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,100
Remember I said it's a kingdom 
of Greece. 

351
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:47,400
My That's the basis upon which 
God deals with the children of 

352
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,900
man. 
And of course, it's a kingdom of

353
00:23:49,900 --> 00:23:54,800
glory and government that's yet 
to come and all that God is 

354
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,100
doing and world history today 
and has been as For the 

355
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:03,700
advancement of the cause of 
Jesus Christ, and the kingdom of

356
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:06,600
God, and the advancement of his 
own church. 

357
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:10,300
In other words, the gospel will 
succeed and all world events 

358
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,700
Empires, Emperor's kings, and 
queens and world leaders. 

359
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:17,800
They're all under God's 
Sovereign. 

360
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Can't rule. 
It is true that man make 

361
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,200
choices. 
Men are accountable for those 

362
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,800
choices, they're responsible for
their choices and for their 

363
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,300
actions. 
But, man, make choices according

364
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:34,300
to the inclination of their 
sinful heart. 

365
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,800
But over and above man's Choice,
stands, a sovereign God, who 

366
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,800
will fulfill his purpose. 
Bring to pass as definite on, 

367
00:24:45,900 --> 00:24:48,800
it's interesting. 
When I read I guy this there's 

368
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,300
not one mention of a 
precondition read it, not one 

369
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:56,200
mention of a precondition it's 
not I will if you do it's not. 

370
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,100
I hope to do this or I will see 
what I can do. 

371
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,500
It's not well at all. 
Depends and how you respond to 

372
00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:10,200
me. 
It's not if you cooperate you 

373
00:25:10,208 --> 00:25:14,100
see, nothing can thwart or stop 
the plan of God. 

374
00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:17,400
God will be glorified in us for 
fulfillment. 

375
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,400
God is being Sovereign but he's 
been Resolute here. 

376
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Can you hear it? 
Is jerubbaal saying to God but 

377
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,800
it would be a few numbers or be 
of new king or with no weapons 

378
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,600
or if new Army nor take a look 
at the rubble there. 

379
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:35,400
Do you see the state of 
Jerusalem? 

380
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,900
There's no Gates, there's no 
walls Lord. 

381
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:41,900
There's no Tampa or to remember 
we're still under Persian rule, 

382
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:45,700
were subjects to Cyrus if he 
hears that we're trying to raise

383
00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:49,100
an army or fingerprint a king, 
we're going to get crushed. 

384
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,100
Lord, we still have a hostile 
Enemy at the Gate. 

385
00:25:54,100 --> 00:26:00,400
They're powerful. 
Focus on what God is doing. 

386
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:04,400
Focus on my I will. 
That's what he was telling 

387
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,800
jerubbaal, Zechariah 4 and 6 
tells us is not by might nor by 

388
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,900
power, but by my spirit, saith 
the Lord. 

389
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
And I think we need to focus on 
what God is doing, get a raise 

390
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,800
of our circumstances, and our 
situation. 

391
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000
And on to the Lord, the 
sovereignty of God's definite 

392
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600
plan very quickly. 
The sovereignty of God's 

393
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,700
delightful portrait You see, why
did God say this? 

394
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:35,100
This is the reason look at our 
text in that day. 

395
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:37,900
Saith the Lord of hosts. 
Will I take the user of O, my 

396
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:41,200
servant the son of shealtiel, 
saith the Lord and I will make 

397
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200
the is a Signet for have chosen 
thee, saith the Lord of hosts. 

398
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,700
Now I want you to think of Sir 
trouble. 

399
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:50,000
Here's a delightful, portrait of
the amount of gold, the Mount of

400
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,500
God was chosen. 
He says for I have chosen these 

401
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:59,300
saith, the Lord of hosts. 
It's not interesting. 

402
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,900
Jerubbaal was selected by God, 
no. 

403
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:09,500
Moral excellence in jerubbaal. 
No inherent goodness is 

404
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,700
mentioned, chosen, not because 
he was good or merited or earned

405
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:18,300
it it's known conditioner. 
Why did you choose me? 

406
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:20,600
Lord. 
Here's the answer free, grease. 

407
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,700
Free Sovereign Greece. 
I have chosen thee because I've 

408
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,500
chosen. 
And if you turn over there to 

409
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:32,200
the book of Ephesians, Ephesians
chapter 1 and verse 4, here's a 

410
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,100
Greek truth, and I emphasize 
this in Korean because it 

411
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:39,400
happened in cauldron and you Row
the right place with the church 

412
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,800
says Ephesians chapter 1 and 
verse 4 tells us according as he

413
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,700
hath chosen Us in him before the
foundation of Of the world that 

414
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:53,500
we should be holy and Without 
Blame before him in love, not 

415
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:58,700
chosen because God for sane that
you would trust Christ, not 

416
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:01,900
chosen because God, seems 
something good and you because 

417
00:28:01,900 --> 00:28:04,400
we're all Sinners dead in 
trespasses and said we're all 

418
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,600
blind. 
To God. 

419
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:08,700
We all have Wills that are pre 
of, than a factions are 

420
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:11,400
deceased. 
Remember the wages of sin is 

421
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,400
death. 
The gift of God is eternal life 

422
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,300
and if he could see her true 
steel, as a natural man were 

423
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:21,100
dead were Lane were diseased UND
how then were we? 

424
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:25,500
They had to lay hold and Christ.
We were regenerated by the power

425
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,500
of the spirit of God. 
You must be born again. 

426
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,900
We discovered the great truth, 
that salvation is of the Lord 

427
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:34,500
and I discovered that truth was 
a young man standing. 

428
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,100
I'd say the Lamppost at the 
police station & Lodge Road and 

429
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:41,300
cooler in many, many years ago 
after I was converted after 

430
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:44,300
leaving a meeting and and 
arguing with the preacher I 

431
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:46,900
asked Christ to be my savior and
he said, I know you did, but 

432
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:48,300
where did you get the desire 
from? 

433
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Why did you want to get? 
See it. 

434
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,000
You do fear thought our love for
God. 

435
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,400
And all of a sudden, you have 
that desire, your conscious of 

436
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,900
sin, you need to see if you want
to be. 

437
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:01,100
See it. 
Where did that come from? 

438
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:05,900
It comes the spirit of God and 
the new birth because God had 

439
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:11,000
chosen in Christ. 
The rubble was chosen. 

440
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,900
But jerubbaal was certified. 
If you look at the text again 

441
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:20,000
and go back there to hi guy. 
He says, in that day, saith the 

442
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,100
Lord of hosts will I take the 
user Rubble? 

443
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:24,400
My servant the son of shealtiel,
saith the Lord. 

444
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,000
And I will make the as a second.
You see that that refers to the 

445
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,900
king's ring? 
He used it to seal and certified

446
00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:35,900
documents. 
It was a sign of honor and 

447
00:29:35,900 --> 00:29:38,700
power. 
It was a saying that was 

448
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:41,000
Authority behind the king's 
message. 

449
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,700
When it was read out, the King 
has sent us and that Signet was 

450
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:50,900
a thing of dignity. 
Because the ring is chosen, 

451
00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:53,100
think of the choosing of 
engagement ring or a wedding 

452
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,500
ring that signal was a thing of 
beauty. 

453
00:29:55,500 --> 00:30:01,500
It was, it was, it was precious.
God was saying to jerubbaal your

454
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,700
precious. 
In my sight, just like a Signet 

455
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,400
ring is precious. 
He the king would never really 

456
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,300
have taken his ring off because 
he didn't want it lost or stolen

457
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:14,100
when he wore it. 
And Court people recognized that

458
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:18,200
he was wearing the Signet ring 
our most precious object, it was

459
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,400
a thing of security, the word 
couldn't be broken, It was a 

460
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:29,900
sign of authority. 
It was absolute and Jerubbaal 

461
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:33,900
was described by God, I will 
make the, as a segment, I will 

462
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,600
make thee. 
As I a person of dignity, a 

463
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,000
person of beauty, and security 
on Authority, your certified by 

464
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,600
me. 
I'll tell you something else. 

465
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,700
Rubble was cold, you know, 
jerubbaal points to the Lord 

466
00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:51,500
Jesus Christ. 
He tells us here and not, they 

467
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,400
said, the Lord of hosts. 
Will I take the user? 

468
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,900
Rubble. 
My servant. 

469
00:30:55,300 --> 00:31:00,100
What did he call? 
My servant and it points to 

470
00:31:00,100 --> 00:31:03,000
Jesus Christ God's perfect 
servant. 

471
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:05,800
Let me just draw a parallel. 
Here's a rubber bullet was from 

472
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,800
the tribe of Judah. 
So was the Lord Jesus Christ. 

473
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:10,600
He's called The Lion of the 
tribe of Judah. 

474
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:14,500
Durable was the key figure in 
the rebuilding of the temple and

475
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:16,700
who's the key figure in the 
building of God's spiritual 

476
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,900
Temple today. 
It's Jesus Christ. 

477
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:22,400
Zerubbabel was stirred and moved
by the Holy Spirit. 

478
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:25,000
Who received the Holy Spirit 
without measure the Lord. 

479
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,700
Jesus Christ at his baptism. oh,
Jerubbaal give himself to the 

480
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:31,500
work. 
The Lord Jesus said was she not?

481
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:36,100
I must be about my father's 
business, zaraba was a chosen 

482
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:40,700
vessel lakhtin precious, so was 
the Lord Jesus Christ. 

483
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:48,600
Jerubbaal was God segment. 
So was the Lord Jesus Christ 

484
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,400
jerubbaal was honored by God. 
So was the Lord Jesus Christ. 

485
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:56,300
You see. 
God is going to give great 

486
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:58,000
blessing to his people. 
That's what he says. 

487
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,700
In Chapter 2, 19 from this day. 
Will I bless you? 

488
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,300
The 24th day of the ninth month,
according to the Jewish 

489
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:09,400
calendar. 
And how is God going to give 

490
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400
great blessing to his people 
today? 

491
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Well, he does it through the 
Lord Jesus Christ, not without 

492
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,100
him, the Lord. 
Jesus Christ is at the center of

493
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:23,500
all of God's plans in human has 
strength and all spiritual 

494
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:25,600
blessings. 
Come to us through. 

495
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,300

Ephesians 1 and verse 3 blessed,

496
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,600
be the God, and father of our 
Lord. 

497
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,800
Jesus Christ who has blessed us 
with all spiritual blessings in 

498
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Heavenly places and Christ In 
Christ, he pardons us in Christ,

499
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:48,600
he provides for us in Christ, we
are precious to him and Christ. 

500
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:54,000
He is provision and power for us
or that we get her Asian Christ.

501
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,200
Christ is a blessing for you 
today. 

502
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,900
You're full of cares and 
concerns for the slave, you're 

503
00:32:58,900 --> 00:33:02,800
struggling. 
You're stumbling along and all 

504
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,500
that. 
He is and all that he has as for

505
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:09,500
us as people. 
Isn't it wonderful to know that 

506
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:12,900
he's the mediator of the New 
Covenant, the Redeemer, the Sea 

507
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,300
of your the friend, the Lord, 
The Seer. 

508
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:21,000
And the father accepts us 
because of him and we are n hem.

509
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,600
We've died and hand. 
We've been raised him or sheet 

510
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,100
it in him. 
Surely, that should be great 

511
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,900
encouragement today. 
The sovereignty of God's 

512
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:40,100
delightful portrait I have 
chosen you I've certified you I 

513
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:44,500
have called you my servant. 
That's a wonderful picture of 

514
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,500
Christ. 
One final thing, the sovereignty

515
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:53,000
of God's delightful purpose. 
If you go back to the tax that 

516
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
says I will, when was God going 
to do this if you link it up 

517
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,800
with haggai, Chapter 2 Verse 6 
yet once it is a little while. 

518
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:07,900
That speaks of tame you see? 
This was not for felled and 

519
00:34:07,900 --> 00:34:12,199
jerubbaal Tuesday through 
Rubble, never got the sit on the

520
00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:16,600
throne, its Aroma will never got
to wear a king's robe. 

521
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:22,699
He did not live to see the King 
of Persia overthrow 1. 

522
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,600
It had an initial fulfillment, a
partial fulfillment, but one 

523
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,500
day, it will have a complete and
final fulfillment. 

524
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,300
Little wife, God says, I will do
this. 

525
00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:42,500
So not only is there an element 
of tame here but there has to be

526
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:46,000
an element of trust. 
And I finished with this, this 

527
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,699
morning, over there in the book 
of Psalms and Psalm 118. 

528
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:55,300
And in the verse it we read it 
is better to trust in the Lord 

529
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:58,800
and put confidence in Mom, it is
better to trust in the Lord than

530
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,100
to put confidence and Princess 
trust in the Lord. 

531
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,700
That's the key trusted him at 
all times you. 

532
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,200
We pour out your hearts before. 
God is our refuge for us. 

533
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,100
We must learn to take God at his
word. 

534
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,900
We must stand on the promise, if
you read High guy very 

535
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:23,700
carefully, You will read in 
Chapter 2 and particular 14 x + 

536
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:28,200
12 versus the Lord of hosts is 
mentioned. 

537
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,700
We need to get her eyes at him. 
We live in a frightening, world,

538
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:36,800
full of kilometers. 
We feels powerful enemies in 

539
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,600
relation to the gospel. 
People are no longer got the 

540
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,300
fear of God, and that's true of 
Northern Ireland. 

541
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:47,900
Loyalist, communities, so-called
Protestant Community have no 

542
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:52,200
fear of God, And the churches in
need of reformation. 

543
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
I'm tired of that, we need to 
Reformation. 

544
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,300
We need Revival, we need a move 
of God's spirit and our hearts 

545
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,500
are discouraged. 
But God is able. 

546
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,600
We have got to focus on the 
sovereignty of God's. 

547
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,200
Definitely. 
Our focus on God's delightful 

548
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,200
portrait of his people because 
what was tree of zerubbabel is 

549
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,800
true of us. 
And focus on the sovereignty of 

550
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,800
God's delightful purpose. 
He has a time when he will 

551
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,100
fevers I am and we've got to 
trust him and take him at his 

552
00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,600
word and get her eyes on this 
one. 

553
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:29,600
That calls himself, the Lord of 
hosts. 

554
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,800
May the Lord help us this 
morning as we meditate on his 

555
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:34,900
word.
