live to the miracle temple worship center where our service is in progress tonight i want to turn your attention to let's see let's go to hebrews i want to sound very intelligent i'll say the writer to the hebrews all of the theologians out there will understand that that's uh key language hebrews chapter three and that will get us into our study for tonight he's there for you have you ever heard all those people saying i'm here for you well the problem with that is what can they do when they're here for you i want to talk about somebody who's there for me but who has power to do something because if you're there for me what can you do i know one thing if jesus is there for you you'll always have some power waiting on you what do you say so let's look tonight at uh let's look at hebrews chapter three only one verse will introduce it this is verse 1. wherefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling consider the apostle and high priest of our profession christ jesus would you pray with me father in heaven we call you once again tonight we dare not open this book without asking for your help oh we can read the words but without the power of the holy spirit we can't really understand everything you want to say to us so we open this holy book with the assurance that the author of the book can be with us tonight as we study this word father let us feel the power of jesus let us know not only word power but let our hearts be touched by jesus christ in a personal way in the name of jesus we pray amen i want to begin with uh with an amazing declaration the fact is that when jesus ascended to heaven we have already read that from the word of god i used to wonder as a child you know you can tell that my parents had a lot of religious themes because they would get things out of the word of god and then my brother and i would try to make them come down to our level and uh you know i'm happy about the fact that even children can understand the bible do you know that jesus could have made it so the bible was so deep and so entrenched in powerful words that nobody could understand it but it was written so that everybody can get it all you got to do is pray that the holy spirit will be with you and there are children in fact we get notes from children who are watching us in many of our downlink sites and they say they can understand i got a note from a young lady the other night who is nine years old and she sent the note to me had a mom write it over the internet and say i like the way that preacher talks but tell him even i understand those things he's talking about so hey only god can do that when jesus ascended i used to wonder what happened did he go to heaven well i already knew that what i wanted to know was what he was doing there well you know i figured it like a family i said if he went back to be with his father they're probably just kind of having a nice time and there's nothing wrong with that jesus paid the price for my salvation he would have deserved to go back to his father and sit down and talk or whatever he could do to divert himself from his job but jesus loves us so much that he always wants to be in touch and more than that he always wants to be doing something on our behalf now why he loves us so much it'll take ages for us to understand that because once i know who i really am and incidentally i really don't only jesus knows my heart but if i know myself as well as i do i wonder what is it about me that makes jesus want to be around me so much what is it about me that he finds so attractive it can't be my life because my life is flawed but he made me and we said it the other night he also ransomed me and when he looks at me he doesn't see me as i am but he sees the possibilities in me that can happen if i just let him have my life so what's attractive to him about me is what he can do for me if i'll just let him be my partner in life and i don't know about you but i'm kind of inclined to do that i have discovered that when i run my life it doesn't go too well uh somebody agrees the fact is that when i let jesus when i wake up early in the morning and start with my bible and get on my knees pray and then give god a little time to talk back to me i discovered that i turned in places that i would not have ordinarily turned and i might not know why but when i do what he says i get myself out of trouble i i go where he wants me to go so understand that when jesus went to heaven he did not go to relax it was not a vacation jesus went and sat down at the right hand of god but he had already showed us what job he was going to do because long ago when israel was in the wilderness god had said to moses through christ in fact go to exodus chapter 25. you need to read it need to see it there exodus chapter 25 i've got some some images to show you tonight i think i'm going to try and show you one in just a minute it's going to be a wonderful time i i got a little note the other day and they say when you preach it looks so easy that i think i could do it and i said yeah you can but uh when you get all these elements in you tonight's gonna be one of those moments in fact why don't you just whisper up a prayer for me right now because i'm adding another element to what is already kind of a busy experience i do enjoy it i promise you that i enjoy it so much that sometimes people say you're having too much fun well that's your problem jesus and i have an amazing relationship and i do enjoy his company and his word so if you ever see me having too much fun that's it he's in the book he's in my heart and when they bounce against each other ah i experience the power this is exodus chapter 25 and look at verses 8 and 9. it says and let them make me a sanctuary that i may dwell among them according to all that i show thee after the pattern of the tabernacle the pattern of all the instruments thereof even so shall you make it now if you begin at the first part of exodus 25 you'll find out that the people of israel were asked to bring things to build this tent that was going to be a little larger and more ornate than anybody's personal tent but god says let me live with you give me a place in your neighborhood i don't need a house the ass is the lord's and the fullness thereof heaven is his seat and that is his footstool he was not saying i want to come because i don't have a place jesus wasn't saying i can't find anywhere to rest he was saying i love you so much that i would like to be in your neighborhood so put me up a house so that you will remember that i live with you i want to tell you tonight that though you may not put a house up for him in your neighborhood jesus still wants to live with you amazingly enough with all the interesting things that go on in your house and i'm only going to pause a moment to let you think about that with all of the things that go on in your house with all of the music that you play with all of the things that you watch particularly late at night when the little children have been tucked away with all of those words you slip and say okay i'm sorry i'm ruining somebody's night the fact is that with our imperfections jesus still wants to live with us so he told moses in the mount i want you to build me a house make me a tent and he told him how to make it in fact verse 40 of exodus chapter 25 says and look that thou make them after their pattern which was shown thee in the mountain now i'm gonna i'm gonna let this one out of the bag the fact is that when moses got the instructions about how to build the tent and it had to be a tent because they moved all right you you can't build something that can't move if you are a people on the move in fact the bible says abraham look for a city with foundations because he's kind of tired of moving i i have been over to that part of the world where nomads move all the time they live they're here for a while then they're there for a while but watch how good god is he says if your camp moves move my house with your camp because everywhere you move i want to be with you somebody ought to say man really loud because you move too much particularly in america you can barely find people their jobs move sometimes the job closes and you got to move but neighbors move and you don't like them so you move family members move so you move you find a better job you move and you can barely nail us down we ought to be happy to know that when you've got a relationship with jesus he moves when you move if you've got the relationship it's the relationship that's important and you don't have to worry if you got that so the lord says when you move move mine and there were ways he had told him there was a particular tribe that had the responsibility of covering the the whole camp of putting together those those pieces of furniture and he said when i when you move take my house with you because i always want to be in your camp somebody ought to experience the power of the declaration that jesus does not stay where you used to live what good would a jesus be who didn't go where you needed him he's a very present help in the time of trouble well look at uh verse chapter 26 you you you're doing it again you're being able to stay in one place i'm going to do it one more time tonight it's going to be wonderful exodus chapter 26 and look at verses 33 and 34 and it says and thou shalt hang up the veil under the tatches that thou mayest bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony and the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy and thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place now you may not know it but you are a certified bible scholar now huh do you feel it do you need me to give you something to take home or can you trust me we are getting deep now because what we are learning in this chapter is that moses was not only instructed how to make this beautiful tent but he was instructed to make a division inside the tent that was a holy place and a most holy place now i'm gonna get one of my images let's try it gentlemen let's go with number two there is no number one don't worry we have to go by a different sequence somebody's gonna say you missed something you did not i need to uh show you uh the jewish tabernacle and what it looked like do you see it yet oh say can you see well let me see that is a representation of the tabernacle in the wilderness you see it's a tent but it's a very nice tent wouldn't you say some of you are averse to tents i used to be the leader of an organization that provided young people experiences in the woods and i uh used to try to teach them how to put up tents some of them were reluctant to learn i found myself out in the woods one night all alone with many tents no young people and i thought to myself i should make them put them up and finally i said well i'll just put them up i put up all the tents and then i sat for a long time after that and i think i heard the lord speak to me and say don't do this job anymore but i learned something about people in tents people who live in houses with all kinds of conveniences don't get excited about tents the people of israel were excited about that house that you just saw because that house represented the presence of god that's what churches are supposed to represent i know people get all excited and try to make the church exactly like they want it but it's not your house it's god's house and when you get inside of it you ought to act like you're in god's house huh because it's not your house that doesn't mean you've got to be always quiet in fact i am a little i have a little problem with churches that are too quiet i don't think churches ought to be raucous like some uh stadium but i think a church ought to have its own particular sound praising god ought to be recognized in the house of god so it was there let me tell you what was in it uh in that tabernacle in the holy place there was a table of showbread upon that were built up stacks of bread that represented jesus as the bread of life oh if i had time to tell you about all the things that had meaning you would be out of your mind with joy so there were there were the stacks of bread because he is the bread of life not the bread that fills my stomach alone he's the bread that nurtures my heart and inspires my mind then there was the seven branch golden candle stick and that represents jesus as the light of the world even when i'm in the middle of a dark moment in my life jesus is the light of the world he brightens up my pathway there was the altar of incense and that represented the prayers like sweet incense rising up to god when you pray god is pleased with your prayer and your prayer doesn't go up like you pray it anyway it's reinterpreted by the power of the holy spirit so it goes up to him in a way that god can understand in fact if you ever wonder how you get things that you don't ask for you've got to remember that the holy spirit interprets your prayer so he may ask for something that he knew you needed even though you didn't know to ask for but the prayers go on and and that's only the holy place when you went behind that veil and incidentally only the high priest could go behind that veil there were priests who worked in the in the holy place they could go in that place they were careful when they did but only the high priest could go in but if you went in here's what you would see you would see a piece of furniture artfully crafted out of pure gold it was made like a box overlaid with gold but then it was not an ordinary box because on either side of the box there were angels crafted out of gold and they veiled their faces and bowed towards each other and then amazingly in between those angels was a light that had no source of power that was earthly they call it the shekinah glory god has always been represented by light jesus is represented by light in fact i i would suggest and i know i'll make somebody who's technical angry but i suggest to you that when the earth was first created it was an amazing thing for jesus to have to say let there be light because his presence is like so what he must have meant was i'll leave you permanent light because so long as jesus was there there could be no darkness he dwells in light but when you opened up that place you saw those two angel figures made of gold you saw that box made of gold inside that box there was uh pardon me the ten commandments you know they were there there was aaron's rod that budded and there was manna we've talked about manna but above the law of god remember the ten commandments are inside the box but above the box above the ten commandments is something called the mercy seat well would you allow me to experience the power for a minute do you know if we had law and justice but no mercy none of us would be alive i certainly wouldn't be a preacher i wouldn't be qualified to get inside of a church if the commandments the law didn't have mercy on top i'm happy to report to you tonight don't ever let anybody make you afraid of god god showed us who he was by sending jesus and in christ we saw that he stands for right he said i won't take away the law i won't i won't tear it down in fact one dotting of an eye or crossing of a t will not pass from it until all is fulfilled jesus did not come to throw away law he came to bring mercy he came to seek and to save the lost that's why tonight i don't have to preach to holy people only in fact i refuse to preach the holy people alone huh and i'm not angry at holy people some holy people are the best people on the face of the earth then of course you have some people who think they're holy do i have time to talk to them no you must be careful that you don't slip on either side of the slippery slope here's holy on the slope slip down that side you're unholy you are unrighteous slip down this side you're self-righteous so if you think there's only one way to miss heaven remember my slope unrighteous self-righteous you're not gonna make it in fact the bible says you have come short of the mark you you can go left or right and mr mark the mark is to be holy in christ jesus came to seek and to save the lost he came to bring a reflection of god's character god can be perfectly righteous perfectly just and perfectly loving and merciful at the same time so instead of god throwing out the commandments he said jesus i remember you and i have an agreement you and i and the holy spirit have agreed from the foundation of the world you will go and walk the path in fact let me let me tell you what gets me excited adam tried to walk the path he saw it he had just come from the hand of god but every now and then he would turn he and eve would turn from the path of rectitude they would go one way or the other and not do what god said that tree had no evil in it by itself it was just that god wanted to find out what adam and eve obey and we still have the seeds of adam and eve inside of us that's why we are so easy to be pulled off the path but we could not listen you and i couldn't make it if we only have the pattern of adam to follow in fact some of the theologians call him the first adam and eve so he tried eve tried but they kept on going off the path so jesus came in order to get some powerful example that you can walk straight so jesus came and stood right where adam was and started walking all right you never made a turn never went to the left or to the right so tonight it is not adam's heritage that i need for my life it is the second adam jesus christ who i need to come in my life and what i've got to do he has he has the amazing sensitivity to knock on the door of my heart and all i've got to do is go out there and say oh it's you there's some people who get so confused that they hold him out they think their houses are not they're up to snuff and he can't come in but jesus hasn't come in for inspection he's come in with a cleaning power that's greater than anything you will ever know what can wash away my sin nothing but the blood of jesus so when he comes in he comes in to clean my life as anybody ever had that experience of letting jesus in well i got to move so so you have seen that now let me show you how it happened uh give me the furniture in the holy place and then i've got to move from that i this is an amazing thing because i i get carried away with this stuff the day that i've stopped being excited about doing this i'll quit give me number six and let's look at the furniture in the holy place and uh that will be interesting i believe i've described it you'll see if i'm right or wrong okay you're looking at the the the golden candlestick uh do i see the table of showbread yes i do but i don't see any bread on it i should have gotten another image for you i do see the altar of incense do you see it and the priest is standing in front of it so you've got that now the fact is that all of those things existed on the earth but here's the power of the earthly sanctuary the jewish tabernacle give me number one and here's what you need to see the power of that tabernacle was not the tent it was what happened in the tent now look at it you see the priest there's a family with a lamb they are about to cut the throat of that lamb in fact look at the next one that's number three i believe look what happened that lamb has done nothing a perfect a perfect animal without even a blemish no twisted limb and the reason why this lamb had to be perfect was because this lamb represented the son of god but the lamb was killed for nothing it had done its blood was shed every day at the tent and look at uh look at number five you will see that inside there there was there was something that would happen i'm gonna tell you now what you will find and i hope you go home and look at leviticus chapter 16. you will find there an amazing thing every day as people came to the sanctuary that's what they called it as they came to that tent they would come to the edge of it for a time the priest would be the one who took the lamb's life eventually i have read the families would be asked to take the the life of the lamb but they take that blood they go and offer it it would go into the into the inside court it would be transferred legally into the holy place so god took responsibility for the sins of israel and all you had to do was to take a lamb because you know what happens the lamb represents jesus and the blood of the lamb represents jesus death on gallery so every day it happened but there came a day called the day of atonement early in the year god would say my my tent my house is full of your sin and i can't let my house remain filled with your problems i've got to put the responsibility for sin where it belongs i don't know whether you think about it but you and i are not finally responsible for what we do when we sin our error has been to listen to the wrong voice if you follow jesus you're in great shape in fact even if your humanity what you do for christ there is mercy for that that's not the problem the problem is when fooling ourselves we say i'm not gonna do what he says nobody in fact i've heard him say it no preacher is going to tell me what to do and i agree with you you ought not let any preacher tell you what to do if they don't read it from the bible you may safely ignore it but when i read it from the word of god that's a whole different story because what god says matters and you cannot with impunity live your life in rebellion against god even your body will become riddled with pain if you continue to live outside of the laws of god you bring death upon yourself so what god said is there there must be a time during the year when we put sin where it belongs and watch what happened when they came down to the day of atonement the high priest alone would go and pull back that veil and go into the most holy place taking an offering that represented all of the accumulated sins that had been put into the tabernacle over the years and he would sprinkle the blood in there then he would come out and they would have made a choice between two goats one would be the lords the other one would be a zazel that name represents the name of satan in that particular symbol so the high priest with all of the sin of israel for a year on his person would say bring me isaiah and he put his hands on the head of that goat and legally transfer all of the sins of israel for a year onto the head of that goat representing satan and a man called the fit man would take aziza and lead him out and out and out and out until the goat could never find his way back he would wander in the woods until he died and that's where the sins were transmitted they were put on the head of the devil who has brought sin upon us and i don't know about you but i feel pretty good about it because that's where they belong there are times when i'm doing pretty good and the devil comes and interferes don't think the devil won't come to church i don't want to get too personal but you need to check who you're sitting by huh devil's influence is in church in fact he probably gets there earlier than most people who claim to be saints he's there but what i learned by looking at the day of atonement is this god shows us in this amazing parallel and i've got to remind you that what you see in the sanctuary in the wilderness is mirrored in heaven so if there's a table of show bread in the sanctuary there's one up there i wonder what that bread is like there's a candle stick here there's one up there what what does that like look like if there's an altar of instance here there's one there and if there is if there is an ark of the covenant if there are those angels that face each other carved out of gold on earth what must it be like in heaven well i got got something to show you look at number seven because these are not carved angels these angels are alive let me show you my number seven and uh what i want you to see is this that in heaven there is everything that is shown look those are not carved angels and incidentally the artist made them a certain color don't get locked into that nobody knows what color these angels are going to be when we see but i think it's a great photograph i think it's a great picture don't you but don't be shocked don't be shocked if when you see the angels i just know they're holy what do you say so so watch this in fact show me number nine show me number nine uh i'll look at it on this side i'm i'm amazingly equipped here if you look at this representation you see the high priest standing at the ark of the covenant and then you see a connection going down from that cloud down to a family on earth because here is what i must tell you whatever jesus is doing in heaven is not for himself he's there for you do you know what power this i was preaching in a certain country and in that country they were under the impression that when you pray you have to you have to pray to holy people you have to pray to saints who have died and the saint will recommend you perhaps to a relative of jesus when he lived on earth and then that maybe the mother of jesus on earth maybe she could get your prayer to jesus do you know that when jesus is standing in that sanctuary up there i don't need anybody to get me through when i think about it i get on my knees at home my home may not be the place i'd prefer to live but there must be a place in my house where i can pour out my heart to the high priest who ministers tonight in the heavenly sanctuary and every time i cry [Music] he hears my prayers well i don't know we need to talk about what happens in that place go to the book of hebrews uh because i'm telling you this this is powerful this whole sermon is an experience to power moment uh hebrews uh you know something i do i need to prove to you that in heaven they got the same thing yes i will i'll do it with one text go to revelation chapter 15. i'm sorry to interrupt you from hebrews but it's not far from revelation so you can go back revelation chapter 15 and verse 5. i don't really think i need it but some doubter may be there and the bible says in revelation chapter 15 verse 5 and and after that i looked and beheld behold the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was open if you look there you see the tabernacle of the testimony if you look in revelation 11 19 the ark of his testament is there if you look in revelation chapter 8 and verse 3 the altar of incense is there whatever was here is only a reflection of what's in heaven so now let's talk about what happens in heaven and now you're in hebrew some of you never left it you were wise you were wise uh hebrews 9 let's go there because you know something i've learned that i can just read and and run into powerful moments so you forgive me if i pause and experience the power because it's all in here this is hebrews chapter 9 and i'm going to try to read straight through i really don't want to interrupt you but from time to time i can't help myself the power multiplies itself exponentially and i feel things that i cannot resist do you forgive me thank you this is hebrews chapter 9 start verse 11. but christ being come and high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this building neither by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us watch this next one i'm going to try to read it and not get excited for if the blood of bulls and the goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh how much more shall the blood of christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to god purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living god ah that's a powerful moment i declare it and experience the power what god says is this if that sanctuary on earth worked if sprinkling blood of calves and bulls and goats if that worked if if anything happened because of that reflection of what happens in heaven then what do you think happens when jesus arrives in the heavenly sanctuary with the blood that he shed on calvary's cross what do you think happened if the blood of an animal reflecting what jesus does can make a change what happens when jesus comes and i guess some person like me would say uh lord where where is the blood do we have any blood he said don't you remember don't you remember where i was before i came here don't you remember that they hung me on a cross i'm not gonna steal my my sermon for sabbath tempted to but i'm not going to do it don't you remember that i just let them take what they had no power to take do you know jesus didn't have to stay on that cross listen listen jesus made the promise to die for me as god [Music] he had to keep it as man and he was not a play man all right this was not some cinematographer god said i will god said when they sin and i know they will i love them so much that i'll put on human flesh i reduce myself to seven to nine nine pounds of human flesh and be born of a virgin i'll be born with no extraordinary protection that every child of god cannot have don't give me anything special treat me like a man i want to become a man i want to walk where the first adam walk i want to go in that path where he could not walk straight i want to walk with the power that anybody can have if they just call on my father so father don't give me anything special don't make any special arrangements for me just give me what you would give pearson and then let me watch it [Applause] so he comes to the most holy place my high priest and he does not come with the blood of animals it comes with that blood that has just flowed from his own veins and let's let's read some more i'm sorry i got carried away hebrews chapter 9 i went did i go to 14 uh let me start with 23 hebrews 9 start with 23. it was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these for christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands which are figures of the truth but now into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of god for us know yet that he should offer himself often as the high priest entereth to the holy place every year with the blood of others for then must he have suffered since the foundation of the world but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin to put away sin to put away sin to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself oh that's powerful he went into heaven itself to appear before god for us can we talk all right do you know that man can't face god remember after moses had been up in the mount all those weeks you had enough temerity to say let me see i don't blame him there are times when i want to see jesus but i don't want him to show up in bodily form because the righteousness of god cannot be withstood by unrighteous man so so so moses says lord let me see he said you can't see me and live because my righteousness is too much for you i i'm gonna read this for you one time not not long from now when christ comes people who have not repented will be destroyed by the brightness of his coming you're not gonna have to do anything you just been living in darkness so long and when you see his brightness you're gone are you listening to me so so what moses said was let me see he said i'll tell you what i'll do and this is this is probably you forgive me i got all kinds of experience the power moments tonight jesus expressed himself in anthropomorphic terms hey i checked a couple words and he said i'm gonna i'm gonna ask you to go over there and get in that hole in that rock i'm gonna put my hand over you and then i'm gonna walk by you and when i get past you look at my back because that's all you can stand and even then when moses came down from the mount after having seen the back of the lord his face glowed so bright that they made him put a veil over his face just by looking at the back of the lord so i can't get back to god isaiah chapter 59 says your sins have separated you from your god my problem is i want to go back i want to go back to god i want to undo what adam did but i can't go so this text says that jesus my big brother and he's my big brother because he put on human flesh he chose to pitch his tent beside my kid he chose to take on humanity and then he went to the heavenly sanctuary to appear in the presence of god almighty for me do you see it well i gotta go i can't stay there but let me show you this christ did not go in fact i need to see you need to show you this uh look at 19 show me show me 19. it's one that will make it very clear i try to make my preaching clear but sometimes you need visual helps and we've got one now number 19 is the one i need for christ has not entered the holy places made with hands which are copies of the truth but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of god for us so he's there for me and he's there for you all right let me tell you what happened um long ago some some young scholars got together and they went and studied in the prophecies of the bible in fact turned to the book of daniel because this this is powerful but i gotta share it quickly because you don't have long to be with me i wish i could do all those long things can't turn to daniel chapter seven daniel chapter seven young people started studying the bible and when they studied they came across some predictions in the bible daniel chapter seven start with verse nine and here's what it says and i beheld till the thrones were cast down and the ancient of days did sit whose garment was white as snow and the hair of his head like pure wool can i stop there just for a minute come on okay i'm ready to go now his throne was like a fiery flame and his wheels as burning fire verse 10 a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministered unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him the judgment was set and the books were open this is the thing that you hate to hear preachers talk about don't i get so sick of these preachers talking about judgment well some preacher had better tell you what's in the word of god because whether you like it or not whether you know it or not the bible says there will come a time known as judgment and incidentally judgment is not about you it's about the vindication of the name of jesus it's not to justify you or to put you in trouble the fact is that your works through christ are not enough party your works alone are not enough the only ones who can be saved are those who have allowed christ to live his life inside of them so it's not about you it's about vindicating the name of jesus the devil said that that the lord was vengeful that he was mean if you don't do exactly what he says he'll kill you he said awful things about jesus but i'm going to tell you what jesus can do he can take any one of our lives and use it as proof that he's not mean but the judgment is coming look at look at daniel chapter 8 and verse 14 daniel chapter 8 verse 14 and he said unto me unto 2 300 days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed these scholars looked at this text they said we know what cleansing means it means judgment is coming it means that the equivalent of the atonement in the sanctuary on earth is about to happen then they went to daniel chapter 9 and verse 11. and am i getting it right yeah i got it no that's wrong daniel chapter 9 verse 25 and here's what they found know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build jerusalem unto the messiah the prince shall be seven weeks and three score in two weeks the street shall be built again and the wall even in troubles times these scholars looked at biblical predictions and compared them carefully and found that there is a time prediction in the bible that's connected with the atonement and they didn't make many mistakes they went and found the command to restore and rebuild jerusalem they found many commands but some of them only said rebuild they didn't say restore some of them never had any effect but there was one that had effect it was one made by artix xerxes it was made in 457 bc these young scholars found the year and said you know something i believe that these days 2300 days represent years if you go back in the old testament you'll find many places where days and years are almost interchangeable but if you go to numbers chapter 14 and verse 34 or ezekiel chapter 4 and verse 6 you will find that in prophecy days represent years so these young people started at 457 and went around for 2300 years and found out that something happened in the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 what they found was the beginning of the equivalent of atonement in heaven jesus our high priest moved from the holy place to the most holy place to begin the final phase of cleansing the heavenly sanctuary so that sin will not rise again and when they found it some of them thought ah we've got it the only mistake they made was that they thought it meant that jesus was about to come in 1844 you can go look in history books you'll discover that people sold all their property you'll discover that people went and said i don't want my stuff they gave it away you'll discover that people went and dressed themselves in white robes i've stood on a little rock called ascension rock up in up in the northeast and and i've been there where people said look jesus is coming in 1844 there was a preacher named william miller who would not believe it he said look you can't date when jesus coming he said and you know not the day or the hour but these people say they said no we found it they were at the right year they had the right time the only thing is they didn't have the right event and so there was a time right after that that was called a great disappointment and people were crushed but let me tell you something instead of jesus coming he simply went into the final phase that the theologians called the investigative judgment and let's make it real simple all it means is this the lord says behold i come quickly and my reward is with me how can you have your reward unless judgment has taken place huh you think the law going to come and give you a reward and then take it back that's not the way god works so before he comes there will be a process starting with the dead and then coming to the living and jesus will determine who is it who's willing to stand for right who's willing to obey jesus who's willing to let jesus come in and live his life inside of them and before you get scared because i i hear too many preachers turn to hebrews chapter seven i hear too many preachers preaching to make people scared there's nothing to be frightened about with a loving lord he will destroy the wicked he's gonna do it but he says i'm not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance what the lord wants you to know tonight is that anything he can do to save you he will do it we are in hebrews chapter seven go to verse 24 and 25 hebrews 7 24 25 but this man because he continues ever hath an unchangeable priesthood wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto god by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them jesus lives to intercede for you go to romans chapter 5 romans chapter five and let me tell you something if jesus says he will intercede for me i trust him with my case i trust him over any lawyer on the face of the earth jesus says i will take up your case you can't afford me so your case is paid for by my blood on calvary and i will be there standing before my father to intercede for you this is romans chapter 5 and look at verse 10 romans chapter 5 and verse 10. here's what it says for if when we were enemies we were reconciled to god by the death of his son much more being reconciled we shall be saved by his life and not only so but we also joy in god through our lord jesus christ by whom we have now received the atonement well i got to get to next wherefore as my one man sin entered into the world and death by sin so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned the fact is that jesus has given us the atonement i got one last text for you and if you can be scared after this first timothy chapter two if you can be frightened after that then you don't believe what the bible says because the bible has the truth first timothy chapter two and verse five first timothy chapter two and verse five for there is one god and one mediator between god and me the man christ jesus here's what i must tell you the fact is that the 2300 day prophecy leads us down to a time now that tells us that since 1844 we have been living in the time known as judgment but you don't have a thing to worry about unless you take your hand out of jesus if you take your hand out of his hand you got plenty to worry about but if you hold on to his unchanging hand then you have nothing to worry about until tomorrow night may god hear you when you call may god lift you if you fall may god bless you as you stand may god [Music] walter pearson believes that jesus christ is the answer to
