History of The Greatest Story Ever Told | Intermediate Discipleship #52 | Dr. Gene Kim

now remember we're hitting the timeline of jesus christ rome is about to meet its match and through the kingdom of jesus christ which is a spiritual kingdom it began to conquer all of physical kingdom rome now before we do that we got to review back so we got to go blast to the past and then let's review a culmination of our history remember everything you learned about in your world history class and then i want you to see how god's dealings with mankind was operating and then you'll see dispensationalism matching to a t with man's history it is ingrained dispensationalism with our history and prophecy they all go hand in hand together they cannot be separated all right so let's go all the way back so remember satan had his own kingdom back here and then it fell apart god started with mankind the genesis gap is ingrained in dispensationalism so i strongly believe that if you're a genuine dispensationalist you would believe in the genesis gap because it is a part of our history and we saw that that was probably the most hit views on our uh discipleship history video was what happened before the the genesis gap before creation before the beginning so adam and eve they were in innocence that was mankind but then through satan's temptation they fell into sin and then they were living under conscience but satan he kept attacking in his own kingdom satan's kingdom started ruling ever since after here but then god allowed mankind to keep going with their own physical kingdom and this physical kingdom is called the kingdom of heaven the kingdom of heaven the kingdom of heaven that you hear in the bible is not a spiritual kingdom it is not referring up to heaven it is referring to god's physical kingdom on earth so we're going to look at matthew chapter 11 matthew chapter 11. i would highly recommend to watch the video kingdom of heaven versus kingdom of god and that will be intensely revelatory to you again matthew chapter 11 and then we'll read verse 12. so god he kept the physical kingdom going but through selected people and satan's kingdom was in conflict with this one kingdom of heaven started right here but then satan's kingdom blew it began to take over that's why he was trying to wreck it through kane and then wiped out abel but then god kicked out cain and start through set but then those sons of god remember it was a j what kind of kingdom is it a genesis what six civilization as i kept repeating over and over again and that became all the way till today but let's look at this kingdom of heaven to prove it verse 12 and from the days of john the baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth what violence and the violence take it by forth so notice over here that it is not a heavenly kingdom it is definitely an earthly kingdom but it's suffering violence why there's a conflict with satan's kingdom and his kings trying to take over that kingdom of heaven now during this time god wiped them all out he says i'm going to drown you all out and start from scratch again now this is the key thing you want to pay attention to he drowned them out started from scratch again and then laid rules because conscience was not enough they kept violating their conscience so god let set a little bit of rule so human government but satan's civilization twisted with human government over here and then satan was trying to rebuild his genesis 6 civilization again and this started another pivotal thing from satan and that is cemeteries and nimrod religion which is babylon the great this spirit carried on all the way to today as well following following along satan's kingdom so nimrod's babylon religion was starting to take place however this wicked spirit was all the way ever since the beginning of conscience and that was during the time of cain cain was a precursor to this one why is that in our previous discipleship i showed it to you jesus said to those jews that from the blood of righteous abel all the way to today's prophets the blood is on you and i showed you comparing with revelation 18 babylon was responsible for the blood of all the prophets ever since the beginning of april so babylon spirit was ever since the time of cain now god in his ingenious plan because he can't just keep ruining drowning them out again genius plan he just messed up people's languages so simple purely genius that it took the devil a long time to try to conglomerate everything and you saw those aryans that they tried that the devil used them japheth's line because god shall enlarge japheth satan start to use them to spread it all out shem was the line that god decided to concentrate because blessed be the lord god of shem during ham's line where nimrod came out we see where egypt started to take a toll and satan used that kingdom from ham's line so then japheth through the aryans was spreading that's how the devil used it the devil used ham with egypt which was crucial but then babylonia egypt and assyria were the three superpowers that time and then god says okay this is a mess so i'm going to start from scratch again and then he did it by promise this time just purely by promise i'm going to use your children abraham and the children of israel this is their kingdom so abraham starts his physical kingdom through based on promise and satan tried to attack them again where he's trying to intermingle his kingdom with god's kingdom children and then what happened after that was then the lord based it on laws this time through moses the lord gave a great victory against satan's three superpowers where abraham and his couple hundred conquered those powerful kingdoms based off of the superpowers of satan kingdom during abraham's timeline remember we talked about hammurabi who was existent that time the lord the lord did a miraculous comeback against that through abraham and his small band of servants to rescue lot he did the second time against the other superpower egypt through moses just by a shepherd's rod and based off of that egypt was in ruin satan's kingdom was getting tackled by the kingdom of heaven through god but satan had another kingdom set up through phoenicia the canaanite religion the most widespread kingdom of satan was was the phoenician kingdom the canaanite religion baal and god says okay now i'm going to use my kingdom of heaven to stop this and then he did but satan's genesis 6 civilization and his babylon religion kept tempting the jews during this time and then during this time it's the times of the gentiles you see that you notice the split start right here based on promise because god was using everyone during these first two dispensations but then he said i'm going to start with a brand new new group of jews right here the jews were based off these dispensations but not the gentiles the gentiles they were all based off of satan's kingdom that time in order for a gentile to be saved i taught you in the previous history classes it had to be based on what like what god did before conscience conscience and rules based on the best that they could live that time based on romans 2 but satan always tried to mingle with that but god left it well enough alone because he says i'm going to start with a brand new group of people his mercy is on gentiles the best that they uh live and know how i'll take them i'll give them salvation now the law is started to be the law system however started to need a physical king the jew says we want a physical king like what all the other nations the jews were contaminated by satan's human kingdom so then god based it on a promise on kingdom but saul messed it up so god rejected saul and then with david he made an eternal covenant so no matter how much messed up david's line was that kingdom would be established just like abraham's seed no matter how much they messed up he established it these two are unconditional this one was conditional however and they kept breaking it the jews kept breaking it so then god finally gave up this human kingdom based on the gods kingdom of heaven physical kingdom of heaven he ended it when he ended it during the time of the gentiles right here and it was right here during this time that when babylon persia greece rome took over god ended it he was done with the physical kingdom how we know this is based off of the book of lamentations lamentations notice that the physical crown that the god gave to the jewish kingdom is off now we're going to look at the book of lamentations and actually i did not mark down the verse over here so but basically the verse points out that the crown is fallen from off the heads of the jewish kingdom at the book of lamentations so you can look that up at your spare time unless i find it later on but the crown has fallen off from the heads of the jews at the time of lamentations that's when babylon took it over the king the physical kingdom was gone now the jews notice over here here's what's going on now we're at the time of the gentiles and the jews the jews over here and the gentiles they were meeting something over here and that was jesus christ this made the pivotal change in our history in fact it made such a crucial change that our date setting is based off of jesus christ this literal jews and the gentiles or timelines are now being interfered or being changed there's something going on here through jesus depending on jesus then we see what happens to the rest of the timeline here jesus was key because he changed all of history bc before christ a.d in the year of our lord it is you cannot deny the you cannot deny history itself proving that jesus christ has to exist that all of history revolves around jesus christ no matter how your liberal schools try to diminish jesus to make him as a less important figure and make all the other historical figures more popular than jesus julius caesar alexander the great to god they were just a blink of the nine and he didn't even name them remember that he didn't even name them he didn't even name them he didn't think they were that important thank you okay so it's lamentations chapter 5 and verse 16. were you going to say that too brother randall yes sir so it's lamentations 5 16. notice it says the crown has fallen from our head woe unto us that we have sin based on their sinful condition the lord took the crown off of them now we're going to come back someday to the jews but let's see these two people what's going on what's going to happen with jesus christ now do we understand our world history so far where this is going along what is jesus christ based on well let's first talk about the story of jesus luke chapter 3 please luke chapter 3. let's set the drama here we looked at all of the satanic kingdoms haven't we babylon persia greece and rome and that was quite an interesting story seeing how the lord prophesied about it in the book of daniel how the jews were involved with it but now it starts to fall apart this kingdom remember satan had a tired system during the days of jesus christ rome had a huge whopper rome was basically the world itself while all the other kingdoms didn't pay much attention to rome was the world itself it contained a tired system that went from the roman caesar down to herod who was ruler and pontius pilate who was the governor district of israel down to the powerful sanhedrin who were the priest kings at over the nation of israel ananias and caiaphas so look what god thinks very specially about these men at verse 1. now in the 15th year of the reign of tiberius caesar who now was the ruler after octavius caesar who was after julius caesar pontius pilate being governor of judea herod being tetrarch of galilee his brother philip tetrarch of itaraya and of the region of trachonitis and lysanias the tetrarch of abilene anderson caiaphas being the high priest comma the word of god did not come to them the word of god started again god was gone that time where was he all that time times of gentiles was here but now the for this was known as the 400 years of silence here the 400 years of silence we saw a lot of what was going on now god broke the silence the word of god came to john the baptist came unto john the son of zacharias in the wilderness see all these big shots prestigious people and god went to a man who was uh clothed in camel hair and eating locusts and wild honey that's where god came down to it was starting from that that god was gonna break the roman empire and the jewish system from a man who just came out of the wilderness this man john the baptist as you might know prepared the way of the lord jesus christ and he baptized him and then jesus christ was about to start a ruckus let's read a few interesting notes concerning about jesus christ widowson says on page 119 about jesus the birth like death and resurrection represents represent the hinge upon which all human history swings you won't find christ mentioned in contemporary secular writings during his life or even just after it as to the world's way of thinking he was just another insignificant person he did not lead armies conquer territories or slaughter millions of people but more has been written about him than about any other man in history now we're on page 120 as the christian movement grew from what was thought to be a mere sect of judaism to a religious annoyance to rome to finally the state religion of declining rome it filled the earth that's how powerful it became the system of jesus christ became so powerful that eventually satan's kingdom had to adapt and take it for its state religion itself that's powerful my friend jesus christ made a huge difference we're going to read some more things concerning about jesus christ at matthew chapter 22. let's go to matthew 22. now let's see jesus make a comeback against this powerful tired system matthew 22 is the best chapter to read how jesus knocked off this powerful system of rome rome was known as the iron kingdom and you saw this iron kingdom just conquer hannibal it conquered powerful carthage which was a remnant from phoenicia it was conquering egypt the remnants of alexander the great's mighty empire with through his four generals of diodachi rome jesus christ look how he come back against this one all through a different kingdom this time this kingdom was known as the kingdom of god the kingdom of god is known to be a spiritual kingdom notice jesus christ he did not conquer through sword or spear he just brought spiritual word of the lord which the jews cannot understand the jews were seeking which kind of kingdom this one right here their physical kingdom restored but jesus christ in order to bring this kingdom he wasn't denying this he was going to bring it but first they needed this you know why the jews they they their problem was they were more legalistic than spiritual remember the powerful sin he had to attack them first he had to attack them to teach his jewish people the spiritual dealings of god that sanhedrin was so legalistically dead that it represents today's modern day churches the reformed church current ifb churches of today mormonism catholicism especially all rules rules purely legalism now this is going to be fun let's look at matthew chapter 22 verse 15. the first groups over here the herodians and we see the pharisees two of them joined together the religious power and the secular power they weren't friends they were never friends but they joined power to tackle this 33 year old man who was supposedly just a carpenter's son verse 15 then went the pharisees and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk and they sent out unto him their disciples with the herodians saying master we know that thou art true and teaches the way of god in truth neither shut up man you double-faced liar talks like a twisted tongue calvinist right verse 17 tell us therefore what thinks is thou is it lawful to give tribute unto caesar or not jesus wasn't stupid verse 18 why tempting me hypocrites genius verse 19 show me the tribute money why because if he says that it was uh that it's not lawful to pay taxes because the taxes that went to this wicked caesar then the pharisees can catch him saying oh so then you're supporting caesar's wickedness his pagan feast his idolatry etc and if jesus if jesus mentioned that it's okay to pay the taxes then the pharisees would catch him in that sense but if jesus said no to the taxes then the herodians would catch him that's saying you're supporting rebellion against the government so what did jesus say verse 20 he saith unto them whose is this image and superscription they say unto him caesar's then say unto them render therefore unto caesar the things which are caesar's and to god the things which are what oh busted booyah man man in your face man i mean satan's kingdom that he worked so hard he didn't like jesus christ satan i mean jesus was ruling ruining satan's little powerful system that he did no satan you are only granted that because god gave it up 400 years how about that now look they weren't done again look what they do the sadducees remember the next powerful system they were the more liberal side we got the republicans gone now at verse 15 the pharisees now here comes the democrats the sadducees at verse 23. the same day came to him the sadducees which say that there is no resurrection and asked him these wicked people these hypocrites saying master moses said if a man die having no children his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother now there were with a seven brethren and the first one he had married a wife deceased and having no issue left his wife unto his brother likewise the second also and the third unto the seventh and last of all the woman died also therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven this is wickedness these these guys didn't believe in a literal resurrection remember not only that who who conjured up a story like that that this woman went through seven men i mean six husbands died what in the world so what did jesus said verse 30 for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but as the angels of god in heaven and jesus did not end there he says look in the resurrection they don't marry but look how jesus busted them he said he was preaching them the resurrection because he know they didn't believe in the resurrection so jesus said oh by the way you should believe in the resurrection because verse 31 but as touching the resurrection of the dead have you not read that which was spoken unto you by god saying i am the god of abraham and the god of isaac and the god of jacob thus what god is not the god of the dead but of the living and when the multitude heard this they were astonished at his doctrine look at this powerful system torn apart one by one by one the lawyer tries to silence jesus at verse 34 through but jesus crushes him saying the what's the greatest commandment and they m admitted loving the lord your god with all your heart and soul and then loving the neighbor as yourself and jesus got them on that one and then we see the scribes they try to silence jesus and then verse 41 jesus decided you know what you guys kept challenging me let me challenge you look at this one verse 41. so then he knocked off this tired system this tired clean system of satan from state to religious and then jesus gave them one question that knocked them all out he said while the pharisees were gathered together verse 41 jesus asked them saying what think he of christ whose son is he they say unto him the son of david he saith unto them how then david david in spirit call him lord saying answer this one the jews can't answer this one how are they going to answer this one the lord said unto my lord sit thou on my right hand till i make thine enemies thy footstool if david then called him lord how is he his son proving jesus the deity of jesus christ to jews if you want to use an old testament passage verse 46 no man was able to answer him a word neither there's any man from that day forth ask him any more questions yeah praise the lord that's why they hated him that's why they wanted to kill him just like today's society you challenge them with questions the status quo of human education the government and you know what they do they hate it so much that they try to keep silencing but they can't silence anymore to a point that they have to kill you that's right history is prophecy history is prophecy i told you that so many times what men what men learn from history today is at what church men never learn from history stupid human beings they're stupid creatures who deserve hellfire and brimstone and amen to that one had it not been for the mercy and grace of god who just loved us for some weird reason and died for us man we humans are so stupid right it's like god says look i've seen you the past 6 000 years and you stupid humans who only live for five years you question my way of doing things you don't understand how i do things how dare you question god human amen man it's something so then they killed jesus christ and satan thought he got the victory because now death took over jesus christ and jesus went down to hell to preach to the captives and then what did satan do well satan thought he would have his moment the disciples were scattered abroad it looked like christianity would die out but you know what happened the lord jesus christ did a miracle by raising himself from the dead that resurrection was what gave the motivation to thousands of christian mil if not millions of saved believers throughout history to carry on his work and never die it's because of his resurrection that was powerful the roman government could not silence it the pharisees and the jews the same powerful sanhedrin tried to kill them but it would not be science because the resurrection has proven true and even till today if you go to professional debate conferences one of the greatest evidences of christianity is the resurrection of jesus christ that muslims and atheists have a hard time trying to defeat this resurrection is proven to be true because it was recorded in history they cannot deny it it is proven to be true page 122 of widowson's work according to carsten thied as revealed in his book eyewitness to jesus the earliest known papyrus that exists containing a small part of the gospel of matthew is from just before the fall of jerusalem may well have been that the apostle matthew was still alive when this copy was made other scholars insist that the scrap of papyrus is much older than the 60s a.d date that thied ascribed to it it is called the magdalen papyrus the oldest thing that traditional historians are certain of in regard to christianity is not the existence of christ himself but the existence of christians there are references to their persecution written early in the century however in josh mcdowell's the new evidence that demands a verdict he outlines several extra biblical sources for christ's life look at this these are pagan non-christian non-jewish sources one is cornelius tacitus a roman historian who lived from 55 to 120 a.d his most famous works were the anals and histories he has been considered rome's greatest historian a man known for his integrity and truthfulness he refers to christ's death when talking about the persecution of the christians by nero he is also the only pagan historian who mentions pontius pilate by name now notice that these guys were pagans uh the perhaps the most trustworthy roman historian that time uh attributed and confirmed the biblical account amen as previously mentioned lucian of samasota a greek satirist of the latter half of the second century mockingly speaks of christ's crucifixion and the christians worship of him in his work the death of peregrine swiftonius historian from which michael grant's the twelve caesars derives much of its base information writing in his life of claudius speaks of the christians being expelled from rome and speaks also of christ himself this reference places christians in rome less than 20 years after the crucifixion around 52 a.d a roman writer named phallus wrote about christ but this is found only in reference by julia julius africanus in 221 a.d flagon in his history called chronicle by africanus in his chronography mara bars european a syrian stoic philosopher writing about 70 a.d pens a letter from prison to his own son comparing jesus to socrates and pro protagoras to greek philosophers in addition there are jewish references to christ's crucifixion in the babylonian talmud then we have the disputed testimony of josephus all of these references and many more waiting to be found can be added to the testimony of the early christian leaders called the anti-nice scene before the council of nicaea in the 300's a.d fathers a term jesus himself obeyed the use of when rest uh referring to religious leaders in matthew 23 9 to give a full picture of the reality of the historical jesus unfortunately many historians inspired by the doubts of so-called professing christians of the german higher criticism of the late 18th and 19th centuries tend to doubt whether or not jesus even existed so you notice that you have to be incredibly stupid to deny the existence of jesus denying the existence of christians who claim they saw a resurrected savior that is indisputable even bart ehrman the famous atheist champion said whether atheists like it or not jesus really did exist and the resurrection argument did exist so then that resurrection argument then becomes very powerful because there is no other way of explaining of denying the resurrection you can't say that they were under a hallucination they were deceived by a blind religious lie or that there was a twin body of jesus to be found i mean you can't when you combine the evidences of an empty tomb antibody christians who claim that they touched him and they saw him face to face over 500 and that they literally die for that name how can you deny that evidence you can't this shook up satan's entire system just the resurrection even till today his higher education from satan's genesis 6 civilization and nimrod babylonian religion is crushed simply by the resurrection of jesus christ amen powerful stuff even until today man man what a man that is some man if you don't believe he's god that man i don't know what kind of a person he is the only explanation had to be that he is god manifested in the flesh now we're going to see what happened over here as we get down to the book of acts chapter 15 and then i want you to go to galatians chapter 3. there are three passages galatians 3 acts 15 and then we're also going to turn to john chapter 1. now do you see this chart over here there's something going on what's going on over here is that ministered unto first but then notice there's a transition do you see this what's going on they were fading away and notice that the gentiles they're the ones that are accepting this so the gentiles can choose to go through satan's system roman system where the secular word is world is heading toward or the gentiles can now have a chance to go over here you remember japheth was the one that satan mightily used to spread his satanic kingdom it was the same group of people god used to slap the devil's face and use japheth c to spread christianity i mean it is so widespread that stupid liberal scholars today call christianity a white man's religion that's how stupid that these and mentally mentally incapable the liberal scholars became because that's how powerful our god was to use dogs who he called dogs disgraced people that liberals just have to give you japhethites of credit amen how about that man in your face satan right that god is powerful man our god is powerful i mean this is history is so amazing how god and the devil just went back and forth back and forth and how god was always such a genius ruining satan system starting from the little things little thing carpenter's son and a man who just came from the wilderness eating locusts when satan built his mighty iron empire through centuries and centuries of careful planning god just did it within a couple years how about that man that's phenomenal amen that's your god now because the gentiles were more receptive while the jews were being unreceptive and rejecting that's why with jesus made a full difference in this timeline when jesus was ministering notice the gentiles were more receptive while the jews were being rejected thus notice over here that the jewish line has been faded out and then god entered into this age of grace this is his new testament church and from henceforth our world history has changed from a jewish history now we're heading toward christian church history now we've just enter that territory wow what a story huh great stuff now we're entering new testament church history the jewish history they've been postponed you might say why based off of romans 11. so you want to write these verses down the chapters are romans 11 and the other one is also acts 28 acts 28 acts 28 you'll notice that this was the final time period of the acts of the apostle that's the title of the book acts of the apostles jesus power and his teachings were passed along his apostles this acts of the apostles notice was in a time of transition if you read the entire book of acts it is undeniable it went from jewish to gentile jewish to gentile why the jews were rejecting more and more and the gentiles became more receptive so what you're going to see over here was there was a dispensational change this whole time period we noticed that it consisted of faith and works did you notice that works were involved this entire dispensation they they failed in their works so then god turned to the so then god says okay devil you can reign with your gentile kingdom but then god decided that you know what i'll give them grace granting grace and then jesus christ died on the cross and when jesus christ died on the cross what happened is that because the jews rejected their messiah then god decided to switch over to the new testament church because he was switching to gentiles and this gospel was basing on grace not on the law that's why when you read the book of acts it is important to understand that the infamous passages you read on works for salvation acts chapter 2 verse 38 repent and be baptized where it talks about keeping the sabbath some people will claim seventh-day adventists other people will claim that the law is still valuable so you should abide by it but let's but we got to see what happens over here we believe christ started some dispensational change that's undeniable to deny dispensational salvation is to deny the word of god itself so let's look at the passages here look at john chapter one and then notice what the bible reads at verse 17 for the law was given by moses but grace and truth came by what jesus christ so notice that grace was taking over the law now now let's jump to galatians 3. galatians chapter 3 verse 23 but before faith came is that what it said before faith came we were kept under the what law shut up unto the what faith which should afterwards be revealed look at that so salvation by faith could not even happen until the law was out of the way because look at verse 25 but after that faith is come we are what no longer a school master which is the law wow so notice over here that there is no this is evidence that salvation by faith without works could not happen until jesus did something jesus had to set something now notice that this jewish program of works was fading away when the gentiles took over because the gentiles are not the jewish program when gentiles came in and god was switching to them no change that was happening but it was transitioning it's not clear-cut so beware of a doctrine called hyper-dispensationalism also known as the mid-axe church these are dangerous people because they cut they make a clear-cut timeline somewhere that this is when god was done with the jews and then this is when god started to use paul's revelation the pauline revelation where god was revealing to the body of christ no this was transitional it was transitioning you might say why would god do that because if you read throughout every dispensational age and every historical timeline god was merciful to his people and he wanted to give them chance after chance just like you you notice how when god gives you chances he's fading away his work with you and turning to another person to do his work but he didn't cut you off like that he's fading his work in you and starting to use this other person more and more just in case you might repent giving you a chance this is the transition is the number one doctrine you want to know about dispensationalism is transition eye-opening in interpretation of the bible that's why think about it use your head why is it that when you matthew to john they're written by who the apostles look at this one hebrews it's written to which group of people jews all the way to revelation these were written to who apostles so notice that they were written excuse me not two from they were written from apostles that's why you all said jews sorry so then because they were written from apostles that's the reason why that these books are going to have jewish doctrine why because the apostles ministry were to jews go to galatians chapter 2 whereas paul was to the gentiles that's important to understand we could look at galatians chapter 2 and then we'll read verse 9 and when james cephas and john who perceive to be pillars perceive the grace that was given unto me they gave to me and barnabas the right hands of fellowship paul's speaking about himself that we should go unto the who he then so paul goes to the gentiles and they unto the who circumcision the jews ah so that's why this one over here was written all from paul the church age doctrine about grace there is no doubt okay i don't care what kind of scholar you are even if you're liberal there is no denying to muslim or liberal or even a calvinist or anti-dispensational scholar the clearest apostle ever for the doctrine on grace and not by jewish works is paul no one can deny that so then paul doctrine concerning about grace was where the gentiles partook in it because remember paul was to the who gentiles why because god was for giving up on the jews here jews were rejecting over here their ministry was to jews but this is the problem with these hyper-dispensationalist mid-axe people notice it's circled on what transition that is very important you might say why is that because they were apostles to the jews but look what they did because of paul and god was switching his program from jew to gentile that's why the gentiles were taking over look these apostles you can't deny it these apostles minister to gentiles too peter ministered to the gentiles at acts chapter 10. john he was writing to seven churches throughout gentile areas and so there is no doubt that there are gentiles that they minister to as well but their prime mini primary ministry was jewish which is why you have to be aware of something jewish but you can't deny they did dealings with gentiles not only that they were influenced by paul's teachings and writings and that is very clear when we go to acts 15. that's going to be very clear so because of that that's why there's a mingling here so matthew to john hebrews to revelation is double application books where it is going to be primarily jewish but you will see christians as well that is eye-opening that anti-dispensationalist and mid-axe dispensationalists overlook every single time and that is very important to understand now let's go to acts 15 acts chapter 15. so this is extremely important when satan starts to use his babylon religion and his little daughters and his cults come out of this babylon religion and pull up to you scriptures that simon peter believed in baptism for salvation acts 2 38 they used james chapter 2 on you that faith and works is involved for salvation seventh-day adventists put the burden on you for keeping the sabbath and the law then you show them what the new testament church itself decreed for their doctrine together they held a debate on this go to acts chapter 15 verse 1 certain men which came down from judea taught the brethren and said except he be circumcised after the manner of moses he cannot be deceived when therefore paul and barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them see that why is paul involved because he's the one bringing this up very clearly look at verse 5. now look what kind of church you might picture over here in today's church but there rose up certain of the sect of the pharisees which believes saying that it was needful to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of moses i wonder what religions you can think of how about that now look what now look what they agreed upon in verse 10 now therefore why tempting god to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither are fathers nor we were able to bear but we believe that what through the grace of the lord jesus christ we shall be saved even as they and this was based on what verse 12 the gentiles because the gentiles were involved here verse 7 the gentiles were involved here see this was a gentile program which is why this doctrine of grace when god was turning to the gentiles they were based on grace you see that they were based on grace and the apostles they could not deny that doctrine they all had to agree with that if anyone tries to pull up verses from the bible to say you have to do works for salvation or the law notice the program that they're going to focus on is jews it is not the time of the gentiles we're not in the jewish timeline today we're in the time of the gentiles based on romans chapter 11. that is extremely important now who was who agreed so that before the stupid catholic church came out immediately after these true christians they started to put these this law for salvation but their first pope peter at verse 7 was the one who said that they didn't even listen to their first pope the stupid catholic church you'll notice also that even james was involved at verse 13 and everybody thinks that this james was the author of james chapter 2 faith and works for salvation well you can pull that one up on them james was even in agreement you'll notice also that uh obviously verse 22 look at this all the apostles the whole church all right there's your catholic church the entire universal church was involved there paul barnabas uh you'll notice verse 23 the gentiles in antioch all involved look i love verse 24. now use this on the cults today this is a sign of a true church all right seventh-day adventists catholics cannibalites etcetera etcetera who claim themselves to be the true church of god you pull verse 24 on them for as much as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words subverting your souls saying he must be circumcised and keep the law to whom we gave what no such commandment now this is a sign of a new testament church all right is acts 15 and you pull that up on anti-churches that we're going to see later on in history satan raised up anti-churches to combat against this one now that is intensely eye-opening that i hope would be helpful to you the establishment of their church as you might notice when you go to acts chapter 11 i have to end it here so all right so i have to end it here acts chapter 11. next history it's going to be quite a time jesus started something he says okay now that i establish my kingdom of god over here and spreading the gospel spread it and we're gonna see how the kingdom of god not by sort of spear overcame this physical kingdom of satan and in the and i'm talking about first centuries we're going to look at the apostles and the early believers during the first centuries what they did that cr that just crumbles satan's empire it's gonna that's gonna be the story that you wanna hear jesus said that to the apostles you're gonna do greater works than me and he meant that satan's system was not crumbled during g when jesus came down it was shaken when jesus came down it crumbled when jesus sent out his followers it's gonna be fun and we're gonna and i'm to look at world history here during the first centuries how jesus started to crumble all of satan's world empires don't forget hinduism buddhism taoism that was going on a long time ago what did jesus do to re to crumble that one don't forget the roman pagan empire where it con assisted all the way to the uh end of europe where it reached spain and all to the celtic islands as well what did jesus do to spread his spiritual kingdom of god to reach over there and then satan that's why he had to concentrate on the west of americas so this is going to be incredible we're going to look at that our next discipleship but i want to end it by looking at this one the baseline of the church the true christian church this is important that you want to know in your history notice acts chapter 11 verse 22 and verse 26 the disciples were first called christians and where this was the base this was the base that god was going to use to establish his new testament church that affected centuries that satan's anti-churches could not overcome in the first centuries so we're going to see the battle between antioch versus satan's two superpowers that we're going to later see alexandria and rome now this is we're going to have a lot of fun but that's going to cover in later discipleship classes next discipleship class let's see what the roman pagan empire the buddhist hindu pagan empires and the babylonian empire pagan religious system all fell apart and then satan had to do something to the americas after that to come back next discipleship don't forget your next ad-lib commentary homework god my father i pray today's discipleships were a blessing to the hearers made us eye-opening about history and what we should learn from history in jesus name we pray amen
