hey everybody when I open my bible in this 21st century that you and I live in it’s easy to come to the conclusion when you read it that the god of the Bible is a god that is prophetic some will use the word preent it means that God in his wisdom there’s nothing that he can learn because he knows all but all that is coming is for us to be aware of and that is called the prophetic scriptures of the Bible which by the way 27 33% of the Bible is prophetic in nature and you think about that for a moment it is the

Bible that talks about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ it is the Bible that tells us that the church should be ready for that moment where he catches us up into his glory what about the rise of the Antichrist what about the radical uh embracing of a cous Society things that you and I are seeing right now or a One World Government my goodness these things that we’re starting to see regarding the end time prophetic word of God as a church in the 21st century we’re starting to see indicators of the

end time events which means what which means you and I need to know the truth and we need to be living it it’s an exciting time because I believe every page of the Bible has some element that causes us to understand and to see Bible prophecy in fact the Bible is always in the now it’s always anticipating the day it’s always before you think of that when you wake up in the morning the Bible greets you but when you look 50 50 days or or 50 years or a 100 years down the road the Bible has the answer so

friends grab your bible and let’s dive into a message right now that is titled God is for you and even that is a prophetic statement of God’s goodness and God’s knowledge let’s find out more pretend you’re not at church today let’s let’s pretend we’re in a really really good theological course that you’re in a in a class today one of the things that I would say in in the class is that what is absolutely certain beyond all of the things that we can actually know about our uh immediate existence as human

beings is the fact what God has worked and what God has wrought at the cross through Jesus and his resurrection from the dead listen Christ actually was crucified you say I don’t believe the Bible so then read roman read roman accounts of it well I don’t like the Roman Empire well go to the British Museum of History then and look at the artifacts that are there why not read about some of the ancient volumes of writing that are records of the first and 2 Century regarding the crucifixion of Christ it’s not just the Bible that

announces that Jesus was crucified but if you decide to go with the Bible which you ought to go with the Bible it’s the same book that says he rose again from the dead the cross is where he paid for our sins and purchased our innocence 3 days later he rose again from the dead to be the very the the Bible uses the word advocate attorney to be your attorney and mine to make sure that what he did is finished in all eternity wow innocence what an awesome thing the Bible tells us it goes on there in that verse who shall bring a

charge against God’s elected is God who justifies we remembered that the in verse 33 the word justifies means that to show or to display it’s God’s desire Church to take every one of his children of whom I pray that you trust in Christ to exhibit righteousness to Proclaim to declare another righteous it’s an imparted righteousness this is the gospel this is what the Bible teaches is that God gives righteousness I’m reminded right now last Thursday night I had the opportunity I was asked by The Beautiful

People at pray feru and also at the Israeli consulate if I would assemble pastors and go to Los Angeles and have them see the October 7th uh Massacre from Hamas footage and I just want all of you to know something we we sat there we we watched it um you need all of you need to know something CU you know the narrative out there in the world is that was made up and um here’s the funny thing if it’s made up if it’s made up and it didn’t really happen you know that’s what they’re saying then why if I were to play portions of

what we viewed last Thursday night and streamed it to the world right now why would people uh be upset right why would why would why would Newsweek uh and USA Today have an article about about this church service tomorrow they would be absolutely Furious so what are you upset about you guys said it was fake you see then why are you upset when we pray to our god atheists get upset why do they get upset they just think we’re a bunch of idiots a bunch of fools why should they be upset if God doesn’t exist why be

upset if it never happened and we viewed it to all of you today why would the world be upset because it happened and we saw it we watched it when that viewing was over we all sat silent and the uh consulate General’s office he stood up and he said verbatim I say thank you for coming tonight you’re all dismissed and he walks away and nobody moved and I just had to stand up I walked down to the front and I said excuse me but I know many of you in here are Jews I brought a delegation of Christian pastors with me

tonight and I thanked Marissa CEO of prageru but you may not want to be hearing from a gentile right now that’s such a moment but can I remind all of you that according to the Bible if a Christian and a church does not love and support a Jew and Israel that they’re not a they’re not a New Testament Church they’re not New Testament Christians and I said I I you’re not going to like who I’m going to quote in a moment but he’s the guy you have the biggest problem with a couple of guys

chuckled there were rabbis there they knew where I was going and I said it’s the Apostle Paul and they laughed they they don’t like Paul Jesus they said Jesus was crazy Paul and I said so I want to quote the Renegade Paul who said the just shall live by faith and I said if any of you are listening carefully that’s actually not Paul that’s Paul quoting your Prophet habc 2:4 it’s habc 2:4 that says the just shall live by faith those who are Justified how do they get justified by faith in God not faith in ourselves

faith in him and so they’re they’re watching there’s listening if you’ve ever spoken to a Jewish audience it is a thrill for those of us who are old it’s called an e tiet ride ask somebody what we mean by that because they love they’re beautiful man they love to argue they know how to argue they’re taught how to argue it’s very very great it’s very good for your mind by the way very stimulating they question everything and we should be like that and so I just said but I said

before we go any further I happen to be a gentile who’s been grafted in to the family of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob based upon what your prophet Isaiah said to the Gentile Nations will come to Israel and will will receive the light of Salvation through Messiah and as soon as I said that I was a gentile who’s connected to Isaiah their Pro they started going okay I’m talking their language now what was the language you could see the lights coming on in their minds and said a few more words about

love and about if you need anything and what our church is doing to help families right now in real time throughout Israel that are suffering and what happened was is when I said Thank you and I started to walk people got up they got up they came over these they’re hugging me I got a couple of kisses from men it was not that kind of a thing it was a middle eastern thing it’s legit it’s not Goofy and it was precious you know why it was a dark Sinister hour and a half but we were not there’s no way as a

Christian I could have walked out of that theater and leave the atmosphere the way that it was you can’t do that you can’t do that but how do we do that because we know that we’ve been declared Innocent by the work of Christ it’s not us well Jack weren’t you nervous to get up there and stand nervous to the core did my mouth go dry it always does no I’m I’m serious see you don’t seem nervous when you’re speaking I’m lying to you I tremble before I come out here you just get after 33 34 years 35 years you

get used to it you just learn how to manage it it’s all of God but he did the work and we honor him when we obey him because what he bought for you and I is eternal life by the blood of Christ forgiveness of sins in a brand new world in 2 Corinthians 5:21 the Bible says for he made him who knew no sin wow for us that he might become or that we might become the righteousness of God in him Jesus Christ took upon himself all of our sins and this is the result I’m reading it backwards if you think about it that’s 2 Corinthians 5:21 but

before that is 2 Corinthians 517 but I read it backwards intentionally this is how he did it or this is the result I should say of what he did he who knew no sin Jesus I’m going to say it again when I say he who knew no sin shout Jesus right just for fun he who knew no sin Jesus God laid upon him God imparted to him God put all our sins upon him and we received his righteousness for what reason therefore if anyone is in Christ he’s a new creation old things have passed away did you hear that old things have passed

away what old things all old things yes nobody can control your life right including your old self when you wake up to this awesome biblical truth old things have passed away behold isn’t that beautiful open wide your eyes all things have become new did you know you’re all new you know you know you love new things right and I think God put that in US you’re to be a new creation you got to love it I think we’re going to Walk Around Heaven I don’t know how this is going to work of course not but I think every day

we’re going to have that sense of ah this is all so new well for how long forever can you imagine exploring eternity it’s Eternity for crying out loud we will forever be going on a hike somewhere we’re forever going to be making some sort of an expedition or journey to see what God has made it’s going to be be absolutely awesome the next thing is this everybody in verse 34 is that his death is now my death he said Jack is that good news yeah listen what are you going to do about Bible prophecy because this is a

prophetic utterance the Bible announced in advance that it would be God who would die for our sins on the cross it would be that little baby born in Bethlehem Micah 5: 2 of the Old Testament that would die on the cross for our sins it would be the very one who would be pierced his hands and his feet and hung on a cross in Psalm 22 he’s the very one in Isaiah chapter 53 that he would be there and he would suffer his beard would be plucked out you ought to read when’s the last time you read Isaiah 53 you ought to read it

again it’s Isaiah’s prophetic utterance about the suffering of the Messiah his beard would be plucked out his back would be laid wide open and the Bible tells us that all of that abuse he took for us that we might receive not only healing spiritually but also the Bible talks about physical healing as well wow his death now if I was to leave Jesus’s death right there at that Jesus died okay so here’s going to people are just they’re used to me saying something that they can twist and make weird so

here’s another one don’t want to have them run out of material do you know know the difference between a Christian crucifix and a Catholic crucifix anybody that’s right a Catholic crucifix has Jesus on it that’s right a Christian crucifix does not that may be a revelation to some of you but uh Christians view that uh as anathema to be honest with you that Christ he’s not on the cross he’s not on the cross he was on the cross one Friday afternoon that’s it it’s all it took and when he rose again from the

dead never to suffer again never the book of Hebrews for studied on Wednesday nights says that he he offered himself up once and suffered and never again he’s not on the cross he’s enthroned in Heaven above and the Bible makes it very very clear that his death my friends his death you got to remember something when we talk about the death of Jesus Christ we’re talking about the death of his physical body his Spirit didn’t die his soul didn’t die his body died if you were to die today your body

would die that’s the only part of you look you’re listen you are three parts body Soul and Spirit the Bible tells us Body Soul and Spirit the Bible says that apart from Christ we’re spiritually dead so our our spirit is like in a state of coma and the Bible says it’s the holy spirit that awakens our spirit and then the Mind Su in the Greek root word of psychology psyche is the thinking you’re we’re born spiritually dead but we have a soul which is our mind and we have a body listen without Jesus we’re running on

2third of what we are did you know that when we’re born again that third part comes alive the spirit is made alive and what’s great is that as you feed are you listening as you feed your spirit the word of God as you feed more and more you attend Bible study you you grow you serve you put the Bible into action and you grow and you get yourself honestly I’m not saying this to invoke any body signing up for anything don’t do that but go somewhere do whatever but when you begin to put into practice what you

know when you go do Christianity that’s when the fireworks that’s when things connect and the power of God shows up because honestly why would why would God give you power if you study the Bible and you’re just going to sit down the rest of your life he’s not going to give it I don’t see anything happening look speak for yourself God wants to do stuff with you when you read it tell him Lord I just read this today I’m going to go I’m going to get up and go do that watch what happens you’ll you’ll be

trembling you’ll be dry mouthed you’ll be scared and the spirit of God shows up and then you walk away freaked out galvanized and transformed when he died God says okay all those who will trust in my son it’s as though they died also so think about this the death of Christ is waiting for some of you you’ve never come to Jesus you’ve never asked him to forgive you of your sins you’ve never asked him to take control of your life you’ve never you’ve never had never once have you done that but this is what

God’s waiting for you to do to do that very thing why because when that happens he announces to you now that you’re alive do you see who you used to be yes I do my goodness people if you if you if you’re here today and you’ve never experienced that it’s like being lost in a fog and then when you get out of the fog and you look back at what you just came from you had no idea where you were until you got out of it the moment you realize that is the moment that the believer Revels not only the death of

Jesus but the fact that God has listen God has deposited upon my life and your life the death of Jesus that our life died 2,000 years ago you said how can that be and I’m not even a Christian today you might say he’s waiting for you it’s all been bought did you hear what I said in the closing a moment ago that Christ died on the cross for you he died on the cross for me you say Jack how in the world could that possibly be true well it would be impossible if it was some Rel just Guru some Sage some Messiah prophet and that’s all

he would be I get it I agree with you it’s impossible but it’s only possible because it was God who died on the cross for our sins this prophetic God The God Who died 2,000 years ago is the god who knew you back then he’s known you he paid on the cross the debt of all of our sin the remarkable thing is that you and I because you and I have sinned against God this is an eternal revelation of God that you and I would have committed these sins even though he was on the cross 2,000 years ago he knew this in

advance and he knew that you and I couldn’t become good enough he knew that you and I couldn’t be sweet enough nice enough moral enough and so Jesus went to the cross and it’s all been purchased for you and I that you and I could experience eternal life can I tell you this way it’s a you know we get all excited when Amazon or UPS or US postal or somebody pulls up and drops off the package at our door um and we open the door and we unwrap or we open up the box and we pull out pull out what we pull

out what we ordered the order was placed by us we we knew what we wanted so we purchased it right we place the order it arrives and we open it up and and we think some miracle has happened look it popped up at my my front door well the truth of the matter is you ordered it several days ago hours ago or weeks ago you had knowledge well think about this on a grand scale God had the knowledge and he invited you to become his child so can you do that right now can you say Lord Jesus forgive me of my sins Wash Me in the blood of the Lamb
