We'll have the announcements. 21:06.260 --> 21:12.260 Thank you, Brother Bill. 21:12.260 --> 21:18.260 Alright. If I could get a bulletin, that would be also equally great. 21:18.260 --> 21:22.260 Anybody got one? 21:22.260 --> 21:26.260 Alright. Thank you. I appreciate that. 21:26.260 --> 21:30.260 Good evening. Welcome to the Shreve Foundation Baptist Church. 21:30.260 --> 21:32.260 Let's take our bulletins and go through the announcements. 21:32.260 --> 21:36.260 Anybody need one? Anybody else besides me? 21:36.260 --> 21:41.260 You got one left? Anybody need one? The one that we have left? No? 21:41.260 --> 21:44.260 Alright. On the front cover we have our verse of the week. It says, 21:44.260 --> 21:47.260 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 21:47.260 --> 21:51.260 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. 21:51.260 --> 21:55.260 We'll be having our service times on the inside page. 21:55.260 --> 21:59.260 10.30am Sunday morning service, Sunday evening service, 3.30pm. 21:59.260 --> 22:03.260 And our Thursday Bible study, 6.30pm. 22:03.260 --> 22:07.260 And we'll be in 1 Samuel chapter 5. 22:07.260 --> 22:10.260 Our soloing times are listed below. 22:10.260 --> 22:13.260 Normally we'd be in the book of Revelation, but tonight I'm preaching 22:13.260 --> 22:17.260 just a stand-alone sermon about the crucifixion, 22:17.260 --> 22:21.260 the death and crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. 22:21.260 --> 22:25.260 And our soloing times. We had soloing today. Did anybody get saved out there today? 22:25.260 --> 22:29.260 Anybody have any salvations? One right there. Anybody else? 22:29.260 --> 22:33.260 Alright. And then, let's see. 22:33.260 --> 22:37.260 I know that brother Jim over in West Virginia 22:37.260 --> 22:41.260 had one yesterday. So he's being counted 22:41.260 --> 22:45.260 among our numbers. Way, way, way local 22:45.260 --> 22:49.260 and soul winning. So that's pretty cool. 22:49.260 --> 22:53.260 Let's see. The men's preaching. How did that go this morning? I didn't get a chance to listen to any of them. 22:53.260 --> 22:57.260 Who all preached this morning? 22:57.260 --> 23:01.260 One, two, three, four, five. Alright, cool. I'm looking forward to hearing those. 23:01.260 --> 23:05.260 Thank you guys for doing that. I appreciate it. 23:05.260 --> 23:09.260 And I preached this morning in Seattle. I've been everywhere. 23:09.260 --> 23:13.260 I feel like that song, I've been everywhere. 23:13.260 --> 23:17.260 I've been driving all over the place, taking my printer everywhere I go. 23:17.260 --> 23:21.260 I just don't trust the hotel printers anymore. I just can't do it. 23:21.260 --> 23:25.260 It's all different technology at all these different places. And I don't even know if I trust the technology 23:25.260 --> 23:29.260 of the printer I have. But somehow I figured it all out. 23:29.260 --> 23:33.260 And they'll reprint everything. I did the wedding for Noah and Mai yesterday. That was really nice. 23:33.260 --> 23:37.260 And so, anyway, I drove straight here from 23:37.260 --> 23:41.260 church. And I ended up missing my stop for gas where I normally 23:41.260 --> 23:45.260 stop. And I had to go exit 72. And for some reason I was 23:45.260 --> 23:49.260 thinking it was exit 69. But it's exit 72. And then I had to turn 23:49.260 --> 23:53.260 around at CJ and Rachel's exit and then turn around and come back. 23:53.260 --> 23:57.260 So, sorry I was late. So, my bad. 23:57.260 --> 24:01.260 Let's see. We got the men's preaching night. 24:01.260 --> 24:05.260 Next Sunday is the Spokane anniversary. 24:05.260 --> 24:09.260 Is there anybody that's planning on going up there for the anniversary? Anybody? 24:09.260 --> 24:13.260 No? Okay. 24:13.260 --> 24:17.260 And then, let's see, we got the Megasolening marathon the following weekend. 24:17.260 --> 24:21.260 So, that is on the 4th on Saturday. 24:21.260 --> 24:25.260 And so, hopefully everybody's planning on participating in that. We're going to meet on location. 24:25.260 --> 24:29.260 The location will be revealed at the last 24:29.260 --> 24:33.260 hour. So, no, it'll be revealed. And we'll all have lunch 24:33.260 --> 24:37.260 someplace. But it's going to be someplace important. 24:37.260 --> 24:41.260 The Baptist Bias results will be on the show right afterwards on the Baptist Bias 24:41.260 --> 24:45.260 channel. I think they have a YouTube channel also if you're not 24:45.260 --> 24:49.260 on the rumble. And let's see. 24:49.260 --> 24:53.260 Easter Sunday, the next day. 24:53.260 --> 24:57.260 We'll have a potluck after the morning service. And I don't see 24:57.260 --> 25:01.260 Julene here. Where's Julene? Not here. 25:01.260 --> 25:05.260 Okay. Ham is provided by the church and 25:05.260 --> 25:09.260 we'll have some desserts and then bring a side if you would. 25:09.260 --> 25:13.260 Also, the Seattle anniversary is going to be the weekend of the 25:13.260 --> 25:17.260 17th. And if you plan on going to that, 25:17.260 --> 25:21.260 Pastor Anderson's preaching on Friday up there. And then 25:21.260 --> 25:25.260 I'll be preaching Sunday up there. There's going to be a solening 25:25.260 --> 25:29.260 on the Saturday. And then the same 25:29.260 --> 25:33.260 weekend, which I didn't mean to do this, but that same weekend, Brother David 25:33.260 --> 25:37.260 and Remy are kind of doing a co-soling event 25:37.260 --> 25:41.260 on the reservation in Idaho. 25:41.260 --> 25:45.260 So I meant to put the details in here, 25:45.260 --> 25:49.260 but I didn't end up getting a chance to. But I'll post it in the group too. 25:49.260 --> 25:53.260 I did post it on our YouTube channel. So if anybody 25:53.260 --> 25:57.260 wants to go to that, the details are also on the 25:57.260 --> 26:01.260 Straight Paths YouTube channel. 26:01.260 --> 26:05.260 And on ours too. So all the other stuff is 26:05.260 --> 26:09.260 on that page there. Did we sing Happy Birthday this morning? 26:09.260 --> 26:13.260 Ms. Rachel, we need to sing to you again? Is that what's going on? 26:13.260 --> 26:17.260 We didn't sing? What? Were you here? 26:17.260 --> 26:21.260 You weren't? Okay. So we've got to sing to you now. 26:21.260 --> 26:25.260 Usually you escape and hide someplace. What happened? 26:25.260 --> 26:29.260 So let's go ahead and sing Happy Birthday to Ms. Rachel then. 26:29.260 --> 26:33.260 So the 23rd is your birthday? How old are you going to be? 26:33.260 --> 26:37.260 She's not telling. Okay. Never ask a woman that. Okay. Alright, let's sing to Ms. Rachel. 26:37.260 --> 26:41.260 Alright.

If you don't have a Bible, there should be one underneath the seat in front of you. 37:11.580 --> 37:15.580 Be in John 19. 37:15.580 --> 37:23.580 John 19, the Bible reads, 37:23.580 --> 37:29.580 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him, 37:29.580 --> 37:33.580 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, 37:33.580 --> 37:39.580 And they put on him a purple robe, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! 37:39.580 --> 37:41.580 And they smote him with their hands. 37:41.580 --> 37:49.580 Pilate therefore went forth again and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 37:49.580 --> 37:53.580 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. 37:53.580 --> 37:57.580 And Pilate saith unto him, Behold, a man! 37:57.580 --> 38:04.580 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! 38:04.580 --> 38:10.580 Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. 38:10.580 --> 38:17.580 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 38:17.580 --> 38:21.580 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid, 38:21.580 --> 38:26.580 And went again into the judgment hall and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? 38:26.580 --> 38:28.580 But Jesus gave him no answer. 38:28.580 --> 38:32.580 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? 38:32.580 --> 38:37.580 Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee? 38:37.580 --> 38:44.580 Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except for as given thee from above. 38:44.580 --> 38:48.580 Therefore he that delivered me unto thee had the greater sin. 38:48.580 --> 38:53.580 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him. 38:53.580 --> 38:58.580 But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend. 38:58.580 --> 39:03.580 Whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 39:03.580 --> 39:13.580 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabotha. 39:13.580 --> 39:17.580 And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. 39:17.580 --> 39:24.580 And he saith unto the Jews, Behold your king! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! 39:24.580 --> 39:28.580 Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? 39:28.580 --> 39:32.580 The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 39:32.580 --> 39:37.580 Then delivered he him, therefore unto them to be crucified. 39:37.580 --> 39:40.580 And they took Jesus and led him away. 39:40.580 --> 39:51.580 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Galgotha, where they crucified him, and two other with him. 39:51.580 --> 39:57.580 On either side won Jesus and Jesus in the midst. 39:57.580 --> 40:03.580 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross, and the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. 40:03.580 --> 40:11.580 This title then read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in the Hebrew and Greek and Latin. 40:11.580 --> 40:19.580 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not the king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews. 40:19.580 --> 40:24.580 Pilate answered, What have I written? What I have written, I have written. 40:24.580 --> 40:33.580 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. 40:33.580 --> 40:38.580 Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 40:38.580 --> 40:43.580 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it. 40:43.580 --> 40:53.580 Whose it shall be, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. 40:53.580 --> 40:56.580 These things therefore the soldiers did. 40:56.580 --> 41:05.580 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 41:05.580 --> 41:15.580 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son. 41:15.580 --> 41:18.580 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother. 41:18.580 --> 41:22.580 And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 41:22.580 --> 41:30.580 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 41:30.580 --> 41:41.580 Now there was said a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon his mouth, and put it to his mouth. 41:41.580 --> 41:45.580 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. 41:45.580 --> 41:48.580 And he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 41:48.580 --> 41:55.580 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day. 41:55.580 --> 41:57.580 For that Sabbath day was in high day. 41:57.580 --> 42:03.580 We sought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 42:03.580 --> 42:10.580 Then came the soldiers, and break the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 42:10.580 --> 42:16.580 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they break not his legs. 42:16.580 --> 42:23.580 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 42:23.580 --> 42:33.580 And he that saw it bear record, and his record is true, and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 42:33.580 --> 42:38.580 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, a bone of him shall not be broken. 42:38.580 --> 42:42.580 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 42:42.580 --> 42:49.580 And after this Joseph of Arimnothea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, 42:49.580 --> 42:54.580 besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. 42:54.580 --> 42:57.580 He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 42:57.580 --> 43:02.580 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, 43:02.580 --> 43:07.580 and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 43:07.580 --> 43:15.580 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 43:15.580 --> 43:25.580 Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher, wherein was never man yet laid. 43:26.580 --> 43:32.580 There laid they Jesus, therefore, because of the Jews preparation day, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand. 43:32.580 --> 43:34.580 Brother Tim, will you pray for us? 43:44.580 --> 43:50.580 Alright, we're normally in Revelation on Sunday nights, but like I said we're going to forego that. 43:50.580 --> 44:00.580 I normally every year I preach at least one sermon where I definitely emphasize the death and burial of Christ. 44:00.580 --> 44:06.580 I think it's important. We already did the Lord's Supper, and I kind of did that out of order, so I'm kind of doing this out of order. 44:06.580 --> 44:14.580 Usually I preach a sermon like this, and then we do the Lord's Supper, but I'm kind of being backwards this year, and I apologize for that. 44:14.580 --> 44:21.580 But of course Easter is coming up. Next week I won't be here normally. Next week would be the time that I would preach a sermon like this, 44:21.580 --> 44:27.580 but I'm doing a little early, like I did the Lord's Supper a little early, so forgive me. 44:27.580 --> 44:33.580 I preach this sermon in Seattle, so I never usually preach the same sermon twice like that, 44:33.580 --> 44:38.580 but I usually, even if I do preach the same sermon twice, I usually don't preach exactly the same anyway, 44:38.580 --> 44:45.580 so hopefully nobody watched the sermon before they came to church, otherwise you're going to hear the same sermon twice, but not exactly hopefully. 44:45.580 --> 44:52.580 Anyway, John chapter 19 is going to be a little bit like a Bible study, but I'm definitely going to be preaching in it too. 44:52.580 --> 45:03.580 So the first thing I want you to look at this morning here, I mean this evening, is Jesus suffered and bled severely for us, severely. 45:03.580 --> 45:10.580 Look at chapter 19, verse 1, the Bible says, Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him. 45:10.580 --> 45:18.580 And that word scourged means to whip severely. So he didn't just get like a light lashing here. 45:18.580 --> 45:28.580 Someone actually took a whip that was skilled probably in this area. It wasn't like he just grabbed some regular soldier that's never held a whip in his hand before. 45:28.580 --> 45:39.580 He's probably someone that has done this before, probably very skilled in the art of giving out beatings, and took it and they probably, you know, 45:39.580 --> 45:47.580 bared his back, he probably didn't have his clothes on still at this point, and lashed his back with a whip. 45:47.580 --> 45:52.580 And has anybody ever actually heard a whip crack or seen something cracked with a whip before? 45:52.580 --> 46:03.580 They're leather and they draw blood. When human flesh is hit with a whip like that, it's going to cause a stripe, a bloody stripe, 46:03.580 --> 46:07.580 and it's going to cut down and pass the skin and make him bleed. 46:07.580 --> 46:18.580 And the Romans, you know, in the Bible they have a rule, 39 save, you know, save or 40 save one, where they can't hit you over 40 times. 46:18.580 --> 46:27.580 So they would actually not even get to 40. So it would be, you know, 39 lashes is the most they could give someone because they didn't want to accidentally go past that, right? 46:27.580 --> 46:33.580 So, but the Romans didn't have that rule. It's not like everybody in the world had that rule just because the Jews had that rule. 46:33.580 --> 46:39.580 That's God's rule. So who knows how many times they actually hit him. We don't really know. The Bible doesn't say. 46:39.580 --> 46:44.580 So, but just because, like I said, just because the Jews had that rule, it doesn't mean that they enforced that rule upon him. 46:45.580 --> 46:52.580 So a lot of times people will say, I've heard people preach this, that, you know, they hit him 39 times or whatever. We don't know that. 46:52.580 --> 46:55.580 It could have been more. It could have been less. We don't really know. 46:55.580 --> 47:05.580 But what we do know is that when the Bible says scourged, it means whipped severely. It's not just some regular, you know, whipping. 47:05.580 --> 47:12.580 And it's with, you know, a leather whip. So, but, you know, in movies, it'll like the passion of the Christ. 47:12.580 --> 47:17.580 It's like they have bones and like pieces of metal attached to it or cat of nine tails or whatever. 47:17.580 --> 47:22.580 It doesn't say that in the Bible. So we don't really know whether that's true or not. 47:22.580 --> 47:27.580 But we do know that he was whipped. So which is bad enough. 47:27.580 --> 47:34.580 And it is going to it's going to cut to the you know, the Bible says by his stripes, we are healed in Isaiah chapter 53 verse five. 47:34.580 --> 47:37.580 It says, but he was wounded for our transgressions. 47:37.580 --> 47:42.580 So whatever beating he got was considered wounded. 47:42.580 --> 47:46.580 And it says he was bruised for our iniquities. 47:46.580 --> 47:52.580 And the chastisement of our peace was upon him. So chastisement means punishment. 47:52.580 --> 47:59.580 So basically he got chastised so that we could have peace with God. 47:59.580 --> 48:05.580 All right. And it says and with his stripes, we are healed. 48:05.580 --> 48:10.580 So we know that this that when he was whipped, stripes happen. 48:10.580 --> 48:17.580 And what it's talking about is when a whip hits you like that, it's going to cause a bloody stripe to go across to you. 48:17.580 --> 48:20.580 It's going to cut open your skin and cause you to bleed. 48:20.580 --> 48:22.580 This is what it's talking about. 48:22.580 --> 48:26.580 And in John 19 verse two, it says, and the soldiers platted. 48:26.580 --> 48:31.580 That means to braid a crown of thorns and put it on his head. 48:31.580 --> 48:34.580 And they put on him a purple robe. 48:34.580 --> 48:36.580 Why are they doing this? 48:36.580 --> 48:42.580 They're doing this to mock Jesus because he you know, he's being called the king of the Jews. 48:42.580 --> 48:47.580 When he came into Jerusalem that you know, earlier that week, how did he come in? 48:47.580 --> 48:49.580 People were saying, Hosanna in the highest. 48:49.580 --> 48:52.580 They were calling him the son of David. 48:52.580 --> 48:55.580 They were saying that he is the king of Israel. 48:55.580 --> 49:01.580 And the Jews accusation against him is that he's saying he's the son of God, that he is the king of Israel. 49:01.580 --> 49:04.580 And basically they're pitting. 49:04.580 --> 49:07.580 They're pitting that against, you know, because Caesar is king. 49:07.580 --> 49:09.580 Caesar is the one that rules the world. 49:09.580 --> 49:11.580 And Pilate works for Caesar. 49:11.580 --> 49:14.580 He's a governor of Rome. 49:14.580 --> 49:21.580 And so anybody that would say they're a king, they're directly challenging Caesar and they would be put to death for this. 49:21.580 --> 49:23.580 So this is their angle. 49:23.580 --> 49:27.580 The Jews angle is to try to get Jesus killed by any means necessary. 49:27.580 --> 49:32.580 And they'll employ this tactic later on here as we go through the chapter. 49:32.580 --> 49:39.580 But it says that they platted or braided a crown of thorns. 49:39.580 --> 49:43.580 So this isn't something they just hand wove or something. 49:43.580 --> 49:47.580 They probably had to have some instruments or tools in order to do this. 49:47.580 --> 49:51.580 And thorns that grow out in the desert like that are pretty gnarly and rough. 49:51.580 --> 49:57.580 And a lot of the things that grow in the desert in Israel grow in the deserts in Arizona. 49:57.580 --> 50:00.580 So if you've seen thorns in Arizona, they're probably very similar. 50:00.580 --> 50:08.580 But these ones apparently you can weave together into, you know, they weaved it into a crown of thorns. 50:08.580 --> 50:15.580 So they put this crown of thorns upon his head and it says that they put a purple robe on him. 50:15.580 --> 50:17.580 So why would they put a purple robe on him? 50:17.580 --> 50:19.580 I thought he always wore a robe. 50:19.580 --> 50:21.580 Well, no, the Bible doesn't say that. 50:21.580 --> 50:29.580 This is what people in books and pictures of Jesus, they put pictures showing him in a white robe all the time with long hair. 50:29.580 --> 50:31.580 But the Bible never says that. 50:31.580 --> 50:34.580 The Bible never says he just walked around in a bathrobe all the time or whatever. 50:34.580 --> 50:36.580 The Bible never says that. 50:36.580 --> 50:39.580 So this is the time when it says that he had a robe on. 50:39.580 --> 50:41.580 They put that robe on him. 50:41.580 --> 50:43.580 He didn't walk around with a robe on. 50:43.580 --> 50:44.580 They put that robe on him. 50:44.580 --> 50:47.580 It says he had a coat, but doesn't say he had a robe. 50:47.580 --> 50:50.580 So they're doing this to mock him and it's purple. 50:50.580 --> 50:52.580 The color is purple here, right? 50:52.580 --> 50:56.580 So because that's like would be a royal color at that time. 50:56.580 --> 51:01.580 So now turn, pull your finger here and turn to Matthew chapter 27. 51:02.580 --> 51:06.580 And I want to show you a little bit more of a picture here because that's what the Gospels do. 51:06.580 --> 51:13.580 They help us see a little more of the picture of what's going on, a different angle of the story, 51:13.580 --> 51:18.580 maybe some extra details that weren't put in to the other part of the story. 51:18.580 --> 51:22.580 So John tells us that the robe was purple. 51:22.580 --> 51:25.580 Look what it says in Matthew 27, verse number 28. 51:25.580 --> 51:31.580 The Bible says, And they stripped him and put on him a scarlet robe. 51:31.580 --> 51:34.580 So they're saying it's scarlet. 51:34.580 --> 51:35.580 What color is scarlet? 51:35.580 --> 51:36.580 Is that purple? 51:36.580 --> 51:39.580 No, it's not. 51:39.580 --> 51:40.580 It's red, isn't it? 51:40.580 --> 51:45.580 So and that's the color that would be like blood, the color of blood, right? 51:45.580 --> 51:52.580 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head and a reed in his right hand. 51:52.580 --> 51:55.580 So what's the purpose of putting a reed in his right hand? 51:55.580 --> 51:58.580 Well, to make it appear to look like a scepter. 51:58.580 --> 52:03.580 A scepter is something that King would use for judgment and things like that. 52:03.580 --> 52:09.580 So but instead they put a reed in his hand and they bowed the knee before him and mocked him saying, 52:09.580 --> 52:11.580 Hail, King of the Jews. 52:11.580 --> 52:16.580 And they spit upon him and took the reed and smote him on the head. 52:16.580 --> 52:20.580 So just a little more detail here. 52:20.580 --> 52:23.580 So it didn't tell us about the reed in his hand and John. 52:23.580 --> 52:26.580 It didn't tell us about it being scarlet. 52:26.580 --> 52:29.580 So is this a contradiction in the Bible? 52:29.580 --> 52:31.580 People would say, well, it's a contradiction. 52:31.580 --> 52:35.580 One says purple and the other one says it's red or it's scarlet. 52:35.580 --> 52:41.580 And then you have the reed in his hand and the Bible says, I'm going to explain that here in just a minute. 52:41.580 --> 52:44.580 But the Bible says that they took that reed. 52:44.580 --> 52:48.580 First, they spit on him, which is disgusting, by the way, just to have to. 52:48.580 --> 52:51.580 I mean, they've been spitting on him all night, by the way. 52:51.580 --> 52:54.580 And then these guys, the soldiers are spitting on him. 52:54.580 --> 52:58.580 And then they take this reed out of his hand that they were mocking him and bowing down and saying, 52:58.580 --> 53:00.580 Oh, Hail, King of the Jews. 53:00.580 --> 53:02.580 They're making fun of him. 53:02.580 --> 53:06.580 And then they, you know, and as a matter of fact, they just got done whipping him. 53:06.580 --> 53:08.580 So he's got all these lashes all over him. 53:08.580 --> 53:11.580 And they put a they take his clothes off again. 53:11.580 --> 53:15.580 They put a robe over him, which I'm sure doesn't doesn't feel good. 53:15.580 --> 53:18.580 And then they take that reed and they smash him on the head. 53:18.580 --> 53:20.580 What's up? What else is on his head at this point? 53:20.580 --> 53:22.580 A crown of thorns. 53:22.580 --> 53:30.580 So they're smashing the crown of thorns even further into his head, which is causing him to probably bleed even more profusely. 53:30.580 --> 53:34.580 Because the thing about head wounds is head wounds bleed more than any other wounds. 53:34.580 --> 53:42.580 Anybody that's ever been in a fight or just had a cut your head or a dog bit your whatever, it like always seems worse than it really is. 53:43.580 --> 53:50.580 If you ever had like just a nick or something like a or even a you cut yourself shaving guys like it just bleeds and bleeds. 53:50.580 --> 53:55.580 And you're like, well, I can't believe all this blood is, you know, or a kid, they, you know, they'll hit their head on something. 53:55.580 --> 53:57.580 Then it's like, wow, look at all that blood. 53:57.580 --> 54:00.580 It's just like just a little tiny like Nick or something. 54:00.580 --> 54:02.580 You know, you can you'll bleed a lot from a head wound. 54:02.580 --> 54:07.580 But imagine having a crown of thorns smashed onto your head with a read. 54:07.580 --> 54:12.580 His face is, I mean, he's probably just a bloody soaking wet mess. 54:12.580 --> 54:23.580 And then not only that, but he also has blood all over him from the whipping that he took because every stripe, no doubt, cut him and made him bleed because it says his stripes. 54:23.580 --> 54:26.580 And those stripes were bloody stripes. 54:26.580 --> 54:33.580 So they did this now back to John 19, three, it says and said, Hail, King of the Jews. 54:33.580 --> 54:35.580 And they smote him with their hands. 54:35.580 --> 54:36.580 They're spitting on him. 54:36.580 --> 54:38.580 They hit him with the reed. 54:38.580 --> 54:40.580 They smash the crown of thorns on his head. 54:40.580 --> 54:43.580 And then they're they're hitting him with their hands or punching him. 54:43.580 --> 54:45.580 They're slapping him probably. 54:45.580 --> 54:54.580 And it says, pilot therefore went forth again and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you that you may know that I find no fault in him. 54:54.580 --> 54:55.580 Here's the thing. 54:55.580 --> 54:59.580 Pilate's probably just hoping at this point because he doesn't want to kill Jesus. 54:59.580 --> 55:03.580 I mean, the Bible is really clear about this, that pilot does not want to kill him. 55:03.580 --> 55:05.580 His wife has already warned him in a dream. 55:05.580 --> 55:07.580 Don't do anything to this guy. 55:07.580 --> 55:09.580 Pilot has asked him questions. 55:09.580 --> 55:11.580 He doesn't believe he deserves to die. 55:11.580 --> 55:19.580 But he has a funny way of, you know, you know, letting an innocent man go by beating him and letting them mistreat him like this. 55:19.580 --> 55:22.580 And but what does he want to do? 55:22.580 --> 55:25.580 He wants to he wants to appease them in some way. 55:25.580 --> 55:26.580 And so how does he do that? 55:26.580 --> 55:29.580 Well, letting them beat the crap out of him, basically. 55:29.580 --> 55:40.580 And so I think that what his plan is here is he's thinking, well, if I wheel him out here and he's just covered from head to toe with blood, maybe they'll just be like, OK, this is pretty gross. 55:40.580 --> 55:43.580 You know, yeah, maybe it's maybe this is enough. 55:43.580 --> 55:58.580 But not this man, not this moment in history, not this time, because what he what pilot does not realize, I mean, I'm sure he realizes that this is something's going on that's maybe different than any other time he's had to judge somebody. 55:58.580 --> 56:05.580 But the whole power of Satan and his army and his influence is involved in this situation right now. 56:05.580 --> 56:09.580 And that's why, you know, he probably feels really uneasy about all this stuff. 56:09.580 --> 56:11.580 He doesn't want to put him to death. 56:11.580 --> 56:12.580 And he's afraid. 56:12.580 --> 56:19.580 He's afraid for a good reason, because, you know, there's a lot of things hinging on his decisions right here. 56:19.580 --> 56:28.580 So he's so I mean, I believe that the devil's, you know, it might not be saying like the devil pushed him to do this and do that. 56:28.580 --> 56:38.580 But it's obvious that the devil and his agents of evil are surrounding this because the psalm tells us that the psalm says the bulls of Bayshan are surrounding him. 56:38.580 --> 56:41.580 It says the dogs have encompassed him round about. 56:41.580 --> 56:46.580 And, you know, the Bible is very clear that the devil is influencing this situation. 56:46.580 --> 56:56.580 John 19 five says, Then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe and Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man. 56:56.580 --> 57:05.580 So he wheels Jesus out basically after saying this to them and he showed he just like shows Jesus to everybody. 57:05.580 --> 57:08.580 Behold the man. Look at look at him. 57:08.580 --> 57:12.580 And he's wearing what the purple robe. 57:12.580 --> 57:14.580 So, again, was it purple? 57:14.580 --> 57:15.580 Was it red? 57:15.580 --> 57:17.580 I believe it was both. 57:17.580 --> 57:19.580 I think it was both colors. 57:19.580 --> 57:30.580 And I believe that the colors that the high priests were supposed to wear in the Old Testament are are this is like kind of prophecy fulfilled. 57:30.580 --> 57:34.580 Jesus, of course, becomes the high priest forever after the order Melchizedek. 57:34.580 --> 57:37.580 He ever liveth to make intercession for us. 57:37.580 --> 57:44.580 And I believe that the reason why the priest had to wear certain garments is to match what Jesus looked like. 57:44.580 --> 57:52.580 Not only was he wearing a purple robe and a scarlet robe, but he was also bloody from head to toe and bruised from head to toe. 57:52.580 --> 57:57.580 And, you know, it matches the color scheme that they were supposed to wear in the Old Testament. 57:57.580 --> 57:59.580 And it said it was for beauty. 57:59.580 --> 58:01.580 The Bible says turn to Exodus chapter 28. 58:01.580 --> 58:04.580 So it says it was for beauty, right? 58:04.580 --> 58:06.580 But you're like, well, what's beautiful about this? 58:06.580 --> 58:08.580 Everything's beautiful about this. 58:08.580 --> 58:14.580 Because without without this bloody mess of a man, we would not be able to be saved. 58:14.580 --> 58:17.580 We would be lost and going to hell and dying in our sins. 58:17.580 --> 58:27.580 And when God obviously God was had to turn his face from the Lord Jesus Christ, he could not look upon him because the sins of the world were upon him when he was on the cross. 58:27.580 --> 58:30.580 But really what he was doing was a beautiful thing for us. 58:30.580 --> 58:35.580 And so, yeah, you know, to the world, it's ugly to the world. 58:35.580 --> 58:37.580 You know, someone being a bloody mess is ugly. 58:37.580 --> 58:39.580 But to us, it's precious to us. 58:39.580 --> 58:43.580 It's beautiful because it saved us from our sins. 58:43.580 --> 58:46.580 Look at Exodus chapter number 28 verse 29. 58:46.580 --> 58:53.580 The Bible says an Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the blessed the breastplate of judgment upon his heart. 58:53.580 --> 59:05.580 And upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place for a memorial before the Lord continually, you see the Lord Jesus Christ does that for us continually forever after the order of Melchizedek. 59:05.580 --> 59:08.580 And he bears what the judgment in his heart. 59:08.580 --> 59:18.580 So and it says, and thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment, the Urim and the Thumim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart. 59:18.580 --> 59:31.580 When he goeth in before the Lord, and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the Lord continually, and thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 59:31.580 --> 59:38.580 And there shall be and hole in the top of it in the midst thereof, it shall have a binding of woven work round about the whole of it. 59:38.580 --> 59:43.580 And as it were the whole of the Habedron, that it be not rent. 59:43.580 --> 01:00:03.580 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue and of purple and of scarlet round about the hem thereof and bells of gold between them round about a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate upon the hem of the robe round about. 01:00:03.580 --> 01:00:14.580 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord and when he cometh out that he die not. 01:00:14.580 --> 01:00:22.580 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold and engrave upon it like the engravings of a signet holiness to the Lord. 01:00:22.580 --> 01:00:29.580 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace that it may be upon the miter upon the forefront of the miter it shall be. 01:00:29.580 --> 01:00:41.580 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel shall hollow in all their holy gifts and it shall be always upon his forehead that they may be accepted before the Lord. 01:00:41.580 --> 01:00:46.580 So Aaron is supposed to wear this crown, this miter is what they're calling it. 01:00:46.580 --> 01:00:49.580 But what is Jesus wearing when he appears before the people? 01:00:49.580 --> 01:00:52.580 He's wearing a crown of thorns, isn't he? 01:00:52.580 --> 01:01:02.580 So, I mean, obviously here they're supposed to be wearing this for beauty but again I think that this is a picture of the beauty of what actually Jesus is doing for everybody. 01:01:02.580 --> 01:01:11.580 It's ugly. What he's doing is it's ugly to most people but it really is in reality a beautiful thing that he's doing. 01:01:11.580 --> 01:01:16.580 And so I think when you think of it on a spiritual level it is a beautiful thing. 01:01:16.580 --> 01:01:40.580 And it says, And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, thou shalt make the miter of fine linen, thou shalt make the girdle of needlework, and for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, thou shalt make for them girdles and bonds, thou shalt make for them for glory and for beauty, and thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother and his sons with him and shall anoint them and to consecrate them and sanctify them that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. 01:01:40.580 --> 01:01:48.580 So, I mean, they had to have what colors? What were the colors? Blue, purple, and scarlet. Why is that? 01:01:48.580 --> 01:01:55.580 Well, because Jesus was black and blue and scarlet, I mean, not black, but he was blue, red, and purple. 01:01:55.580 --> 01:02:01.580 Because that's what color bruises are, people. I mean, if you've ever had bruises in your life you know exactly what they look like. 01:02:01.580 --> 01:02:14.580 And not only was he literally scarlet because of the blood, but also he's literally wearing, when he's appearing before the people, he's wearing the same colors as the high priest is supposed to be wearing. 01:02:14.580 --> 01:02:22.580 I mean, and it's a robe. He's wearing a robe. So, you know, people would say that's a contradiction. 01:02:22.580 --> 01:02:29.580 Well, no, I think it's just both colors. I think one guy is saying it's purple, one guy is saying it's scarlet, but I think it probably has both colors in it. 01:02:29.580 --> 01:02:34.580 I think there's just no doubt that that's the truth because that's what the Bible says, and I believe the Bible. 01:02:34.580 --> 01:02:44.580 So, John chapter 19 verse 6, When the chief priest therefore an officer saw him, they cried out saying, Crucify him, crucify him! 01:02:44.580 --> 01:02:49.580 Pilate saith unto them, Take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. 01:02:49.580 --> 01:02:55.580 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 01:02:55.580 --> 01:03:01.580 Well, first of all, he didn't make himself the Son of God. He just is the Son of God. He always has been the Son of God. 01:03:01.580 --> 01:03:11.580 And, you know, it just is what it is. He is the Son of God. So they can say whatever they want about their law, but he proved that he was the Son of God multiple times in front of them. 01:03:11.580 --> 01:03:24.580 They just don't want to admit that he is. And, you know, this book, the book of John, I mean, I don't know if you remember when I was talking about in the book of Revelation how the beasts match the different gods. 01:03:24.580 --> 01:03:32.580 And which one is John? Which one is the gospel of John? What beast does he match in Revelation? It's the eagle, right? 01:03:32.580 --> 01:03:37.580 And it's because Jesus didn't come from this world. He came from above. 01:03:37.580 --> 01:03:46.580 And I'm going to, when I preach about Revelation again, I'm going to kind of share a little bit more that I've studied about that whole situation. 01:03:46.580 --> 01:03:50.580 But I can't get into it for now. But Jesus is not from this world. 01:03:51.580 --> 01:04:01.580 And I think that the perspective of John here is it's trying to show us a little more of the fact that Jesus is not of this world. 01:04:01.580 --> 01:04:06.580 And this is how it kind of focuses on this conversation between him and Pilate. 01:04:06.580 --> 01:04:11.580 Because Pilate asked him some pretty interesting questions right here. 01:04:11.580 --> 01:04:16.580 It says, The Jews answered him, We have a law. And by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. 01:04:16.580 --> 01:04:20.580 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid. 01:04:20.580 --> 01:04:24.580 Why do you think he was afraid? Because he probably knew it was true. 01:04:24.580 --> 01:04:29.580 He's probably like, What? He says he's the Son of God. 01:04:29.580 --> 01:04:36.580 And then he, what? What's he do? And went out again unto the judgment hall and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? 01:04:36.580 --> 01:04:39.580 What does that mean? Where are you from? 01:04:40.580 --> 01:04:46.580 And then, but Jesus gave him no answer. He just like, just doesn't say a word. 01:04:46.580 --> 01:04:50.580 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? 01:04:50.580 --> 01:04:55.580 Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee? 01:04:55.580 --> 01:05:02.580 Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except that were given thee from above. 01:05:02.580 --> 01:05:06.580 Therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 01:05:06.580 --> 01:05:15.580 So I mean he's basically answering him by telling him, The power you have, only God allows you to have that power against me. 01:05:15.580 --> 01:05:21.580 And so he's kind of answering him in the way that, You want to know where I'm from? It's up there. 01:05:21.580 --> 01:05:30.580 So again, kind of matching that narrative about him, about that gospel being that beast, that eagle or whatever. 01:05:30.580 --> 01:05:35.580 So anyway, and basically the whole theme of the book of John is that he's not just a man. 01:05:35.580 --> 01:05:42.580 He is God. He is God manifest in the flesh. In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God. 01:05:42.580 --> 01:05:48.580 So that is what the Bible teaches. That is what the book of John teaches all throughout it. 01:05:48.580 --> 01:05:54.580 So turn to Matthew chapter 23. And there's, in that last verse it says, 01:05:54.580 --> 01:06:01.580 He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 01:06:01.580 --> 01:06:09.580 And look, there's this teaching out there that all sin is equal, which is just a bunch of baloney. It's not true. 01:06:09.580 --> 01:06:18.580 And obviously it's true that all sin would get you into hell if you commit one sin. You're worthy of death. You're worthy of hell. 01:06:18.580 --> 01:06:24.580 There's no doubt about that. So if you stole a pencil and that's the only sin you ever committed your whole life, you would still go to hell for that. 01:06:24.580 --> 01:06:31.580 And people have a hard time swallowing that, but the Bible says thou shalt not steal. Stealing is a sin. It's one of the Ten Commandments. 01:06:31.580 --> 01:06:38.580 You would go to hell for that. But really, why do people actually go to hell now? Why would people go to hell? 01:06:38.580 --> 01:06:45.580 Is it because of their sin or is it because they don't believe? Because the Bible actually says, Whosoever believeth in him, 01:06:45.580 --> 01:06:51.580 should not perish but have everlasting life. There's two types of people in this world. People that believe and people that believe not. 01:06:51.580 --> 01:06:59.580 If you don't believe, you go to hell. The wrath of God is already abiding on you because they have not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. 01:06:59.580 --> 01:07:05.580 That's why they go to hell. Because everybody has a choice to go to heaven or hell. It's just they make the wrong choice. 01:07:05.580 --> 01:07:10.580 They choose to not believe and they don't get saved and that's why they go to hell. 01:07:10.580 --> 01:07:19.580 But obviously our sin is what condemns us and obviously that's true. But also the fact that they just choose to not believe. 01:07:19.580 --> 01:07:29.580 Because look, God gives light to every single person on this planet. People know, they do know that Jesus is real. 01:07:29.580 --> 01:07:34.580 They know he's true or at least they have some kind of light that would lead them in the right way. 01:07:34.580 --> 01:07:41.580 Here in Matthew 23 verse 14 it says, Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you devour widows' houses and for a pretense, 01:07:41.580 --> 01:07:52.580 which means they're pretending, make long prayer. And everybody's been in that old live bee church or that church where the pastor at the end of a long service with 15 stanzas of just as I am. 01:07:52.580 --> 01:07:59.580 Then they call on the person who makes the longest prayers in the whole church, right? Who's been there before? Okay. 01:07:59.580 --> 01:08:05.580 It's like, come on man, the food's getting cold. You know, it's like, you know, we got places to go. 01:08:05.580 --> 01:08:13.580 He's just like, you know, going back to Genesis to go in through all the books of the Bible, the, you know, closing prayer or whatever. 01:08:13.580 --> 01:08:20.580 But I mean, some people just are eloquent in their prayers like that. And it's like, you know, they, but they're pretending. Why? 01:08:20.580 --> 01:08:25.580 Because they're hypocrites. That's what the Bible is saying. Therefore, ye shall receive the greater damnation. 01:08:26.580 --> 01:08:32.580 So true hypocrisy are people that pretend to be saved and they're not really saved and they're just pretending. 01:08:32.580 --> 01:08:37.580 That's that's the worst kind of hypocrite. So what does it say? They'll have greater damnation. 01:08:37.580 --> 01:08:41.580 So are there varying degrees of damnation? That's what the Bible says. 01:08:41.580 --> 01:08:47.580 And Jesus said, whoever delivered me unto you has the greater sin. 01:08:47.580 --> 01:08:53.580 So that means that there's people that have bigger sins than others, right? There's greater damnation. 01:08:53.580 --> 01:08:56.580 So that means there's varying degrees of hell. 01:08:56.580 --> 01:09:04.580 And in verse 15, it says, Woe unto you, scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, for you compass sea and land to make one proselyte. 01:09:04.580 --> 01:09:09.580 And when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 01:09:09.580 --> 01:09:15.580 So it's possible to be a double bigger heretic than somebody else. Somebody that's worse than you. 01:09:16.580 --> 01:09:21.580 So like he's saying that you're making a false another false prophet just like you. 01:09:21.580 --> 01:09:25.580 But except for he's double as bad as you are. 01:09:25.580 --> 01:09:30.580 So it's possible it's possible to be a worse heretic than somebody else. 01:09:30.580 --> 01:09:35.580 I mean, now look at Deuteronomy, Chapter 32, Deuteronomy, Chapter 32. 01:09:40.580 --> 01:09:44.580 So I this is just a puppy that I had to kick on the way to the next point. 01:09:44.580 --> 01:09:50.580 But anyway, I mean, I just sometimes people just get this idea that, you know, and they're like, all sin is equal. 01:09:50.580 --> 01:09:53.580 You know, this kind of nonsense is just not true. 01:09:53.580 --> 01:10:06.580 Deuteronomy, 32, verse 22, it says, For a fire is kindled in my anger and shall burn unto the lowest hell and shall consume the earth with her increase and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 01:10:06.580 --> 01:10:09.580 I will heap mischiefs upon them. I will spend mine arrows upon them. 01:10:09.580 --> 01:10:15.580 So this is talking about God is being super angry about something, but he says it shall burn to the lowest hell. 01:10:15.580 --> 01:10:18.580 So if there's a lowest hell, what does that also mean? 01:10:18.580 --> 01:10:28.580 By deduction, there's a higher hell, a hell that's not quite as hot, a hell that's not as I mean, all hell is bad, right? 01:10:28.580 --> 01:10:31.580 All hell is a place we would not want to go to. 01:10:31.580 --> 01:10:37.580 But that also just means that there's not the lowest hell is the hottest place, the worst one. 01:10:37.580 --> 01:10:42.580 So that means that the highest one is not as bad as the lowest one, but it's still bad, right? 01:10:42.580 --> 01:10:44.580 I mean, nobody wants to even go to the highest hell. 01:10:44.580 --> 01:10:47.580 But just saying that there's different degrees. 01:10:47.580 --> 01:11:01.580 So and then Psalm 86 and we'll get back to the to the text after this, but Psalm 86, verse 13 says, For great is thy mercy toward me and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 01:11:01.580 --> 01:11:05.580 So and I believe this is a prophetic verse about the Lord Jesus Christ. 01:11:05.580 --> 01:11:17.580 I believe that he actually did go to the lowest hell because he had all the sins of the whole world, past, present and future on his account when he went to hell for three days and three nights. 01:11:17.580 --> 01:11:30.580 And, you know, so if that's true, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, every rapist, every homo, every single wicked person that said any wicked thing, just the worst of the worst. 01:11:30.580 --> 01:11:34.580 All I mean, did Jesus die for the sins of the whole world? 01:11:34.580 --> 01:11:35.580 Yes, he did. 01:11:35.580 --> 01:11:41.580 So that would make sense then that he has to go to the lowest hell be punished for three days and three nights. 01:11:41.580 --> 01:11:42.580 His soul. 01:11:42.580 --> 01:11:44.580 OK, doesn't mean he deserved to go there. 01:11:44.580 --> 01:11:47.580 It's not like he's being punished for what he did. 01:11:47.580 --> 01:11:49.580 He's being punished for what we did. 01:11:49.580 --> 01:11:52.580 That's part of the sacrifice, right? 01:11:52.580 --> 01:11:54.580 So that's why there's burnt sacrifices. 01:11:54.580 --> 01:11:56.580 It's a picture of what you have to go through. 01:11:57.580 --> 01:12:01.580 So anyway, so all sin is not equal. 01:12:01.580 --> 01:12:02.580 All punishment is not equal. 01:12:02.580 --> 01:12:04.580 All rewards are not equal. 01:12:04.580 --> 01:12:08.580 So when we get to heaven, is everybody going to have the same reward? 01:12:08.580 --> 01:12:15.580 No, we're not, because some people do more and God rewards us based upon who does more. 01:12:15.580 --> 01:12:16.580 It's just that simple. 01:12:16.580 --> 01:12:20.580 So obviously we all get the baseline reward of everlasting life. 01:12:20.580 --> 01:12:24.580 And then based upon what you do here on this earth, you get rewarded for that. 01:12:24.580 --> 01:12:29.580 So but really, you know, our ways are not equal. 01:12:29.580 --> 01:12:34.580 And we like to say some people like to say, well, God is not equal in the way he does things. 01:12:34.580 --> 01:12:35.580 But that's not true. 01:12:35.580 --> 01:12:37.580 God is always equal in the way he does things. 01:12:37.580 --> 01:12:39.580 It's we that are not equal in our ways. 01:12:39.580 --> 01:12:47.580 So back to John 19, verse number 12, it says, And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him. 01:12:47.580 --> 01:12:54.580 But the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend. 01:12:54.580 --> 01:12:58.580 Whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 01:12:58.580 --> 01:13:01.580 So they know the rules of the game real well here, don't they? 01:13:01.580 --> 01:13:03.580 They know how to play politics. 01:13:03.580 --> 01:13:05.580 They know how to play the pressure game. 01:13:05.580 --> 01:13:08.580 And look, the Jews still do this stuff today. 01:13:08.580 --> 01:13:11.580 This is how they operate. 01:13:11.580 --> 01:13:13.580 They get people to do things for them. 01:13:13.580 --> 01:13:14.580 They don't do it themselves. 01:13:14.580 --> 01:13:16.580 They're very good at it. 01:13:16.580 --> 01:13:19.580 And so they're still doing these things today. 01:13:19.580 --> 01:13:24.580 They're still getting other people to do their dirty work, just like they got us the bomb I ran for them. 01:13:24.580 --> 01:13:27.580 I mean, and now we're in another war. 01:13:27.580 --> 01:13:28.580 Thanks. 01:13:28.580 --> 01:13:31.580 So and what were they doing to us exactly? 01:13:31.580 --> 01:13:35.580 Oh, there's some people protesting. 01:13:35.580 --> 01:13:37.580 I mean, I guess we're just the world police now. 01:13:37.580 --> 01:13:40.580 We have to jump into every now our gas prices are going up. 01:13:40.580 --> 01:13:41.580 Thanks. 01:13:41.580 --> 01:13:44.580 I mean, not that I don't care about people innocently being killed. 01:13:44.580 --> 01:13:45.580 I do. 01:13:45.580 --> 01:13:53.580 But I mean, it's just hard to know what's really going on because we just get fed a newsfeed that they like to tell us what's going on. 01:13:53.580 --> 01:13:56.580 And who knows what's really true and what's not sometimes. 01:13:56.580 --> 01:14:02.580 But all I know is that I don't want our country to be in another war and I don't want to fight battles for Israel. 01:14:02.580 --> 01:14:07.580 So I mean, Donald Trump kind of ran on the thing. 01:14:07.580 --> 01:14:09.580 I haven't gotten into any wars. 01:14:09.580 --> 01:14:10.580 And here we are. 01:14:10.580 --> 01:14:15.580 So but that's what they're good at. 01:14:15.580 --> 01:14:20.580 They're good at getting people to fight and they're good at manipulating people. 01:14:20.580 --> 01:14:22.580 They're this is what they did. 01:14:22.580 --> 01:14:24.580 They manipulated pilot by doing what? 01:14:24.580 --> 01:14:26.580 Playing on his biggest fear. 01:14:26.580 --> 01:14:28.580 What is his biggest fear? 01:14:28.580 --> 01:14:35.580 That Caesar is going to fire him or kill him because Jesus was being called the king of the Jews. 01:14:35.580 --> 01:14:37.580 And that's why he's like, hey, you're not a friend of Caesar. 01:14:37.580 --> 01:14:40.580 If you just let this guy go, you have to kill him. 01:14:40.580 --> 01:14:42.580 They've been plotting this for a while. 01:14:42.580 --> 01:14:47.580 This goes back earlier into other chapters that someone has to die for the people. 01:14:47.580 --> 01:14:50.580 And this is a plot that they've done. 01:14:50.580 --> 01:14:51.580 This is a Jewish plot. 01:14:51.580 --> 01:14:55.580 I know that people are like, oh, everybody's always saying this Jewish plot. 01:14:55.580 --> 01:14:57.580 They plot. 01:14:57.580 --> 01:14:59.580 It's a fact. 01:14:59.580 --> 01:15:00.580 They plot. 01:15:00.580 --> 01:15:01.580 They scheme. 01:15:01.580 --> 01:15:03.580 They've done it throughout history. 01:15:03.580 --> 01:15:06.580 They've been kicked out of every country in the world. 01:15:06.580 --> 01:15:10.580 England kicked them out and then they let them back in like dummies. 01:15:10.580 --> 01:15:17.580 I mean, sometimes I think that Cromwell just killed the king so he could bring the Jews back or something. 01:15:17.580 --> 01:15:21.580 I don't know what the deal is, but they're definitely not leaving again. 01:15:21.580 --> 01:15:25.580 So anyway, moving on here. 01:15:25.580 --> 01:15:29.580 So yeah, Pilate's a weak leader, though, and he's just afraid to do the right thing. 01:15:29.580 --> 01:15:34.580 And this is the thing that they say when they say this and there's no turning back after this. 01:15:34.580 --> 01:15:37.580 Pilate just lets them have them. 01:15:37.580 --> 01:15:46.580 So when Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the pavement, but in the Hebrew, 01:15:46.580 --> 01:15:53.580 Gabatha, and it was the preparation of the Passover and about the sixth hour. 01:15:53.580 --> 01:15:58.580 And he sat or he saith unto the Jews, Behold your king. 01:15:58.580 --> 01:16:02.580 So this is the preparation for the Passover. 01:16:02.580 --> 01:16:08.580 So this is what the 13th day of Nisan or Abib or whatever you want to call it. 01:16:08.580 --> 01:16:12.580 So this is the day before the Passover. 01:16:12.580 --> 01:16:14.580 What time does the Passover happen? 01:16:14.580 --> 01:16:20.580 It happens about six o'clock at night. It happens at dark, basically. Oh, dark 30. 01:16:20.580 --> 01:16:22.580 So they're preparing. 01:16:22.580 --> 01:16:26.580 This is the last time that they can work before the Passover is killed. 01:16:26.580 --> 01:16:29.580 And then once the Passover is killed, they have to prepare the Passover. 01:16:29.580 --> 01:16:34.580 They have to, you know, they're all preparing their tables and wherever they're going to eat the Passover at. 01:16:34.580 --> 01:16:40.580 And once it becomes dark, they can't do anything, any other servile work at all. 01:16:40.580 --> 01:16:42.580 The only thing they can do is eat. That's it. 01:16:42.580 --> 01:16:44.580 They can't do anything else. 01:16:44.580 --> 01:16:53.580 And then they have to rest for three days because of these high days that are about to come upon them, which, of course, is planned because this is the day, 01:16:53.580 --> 01:17:00.580 the three days and three nights that Jesus Christ is going to be in the grave working, you know, our salvation. 01:17:00.580 --> 01:17:09.580 So now let's see. Where am I at here? 01:17:09.580 --> 01:17:15.580 So. So, yeah. 01:17:15.580 --> 01:17:19.580 So so basically it says it's the sixth hour. 01:17:19.580 --> 01:17:29.580 So I just want I mean, you might not understand this, but the synoptic gospels have a way that they keep time the way they keep time is the Jewish way of keeping time, 01:17:29.580 --> 01:17:33.580 which it's evening and morning is a day. 01:17:33.580 --> 01:17:39.580 OK, the day starts at the evening time and goes into the morning. 01:17:39.580 --> 01:17:48.580 OK, and then John's way of keeping time in the end, this is the only book that does this in the gospels. 01:17:48.580 --> 01:17:53.580 He keeps time the way we keep time. So we kind of keep Roman time also. 01:17:53.580 --> 01:18:01.580 But he's keeping Roman time. I mean, he's this anti-Jewish, I guess, that he just just says, I'm not keeping Jewish time in this book or whatever. 01:18:01.580 --> 01:18:05.580 So he keeps time like we do. What time is zero? 01:18:05.580 --> 01:18:10.580 Like basically what time is zero time for us? 01:18:10.580 --> 01:18:13.580 Midnight, right? 12 a.m. 01:18:13.580 --> 01:18:18.580 So if this is the sixth hour, what time is it? 01:18:18.580 --> 01:18:23.580 Six a.m. Right. But this isn't saying that they crucified him at six a.m. 01:18:23.580 --> 01:18:27.580 This is just saying that he let them take him at six a.m. 01:18:27.580 --> 01:18:30.580 So he sent him off to be crucified at six a.m. 01:18:30.580 --> 01:18:36.580 But that doesn't mean that's what time he got crucified because the Bible actually says what time he got crucified in Mark, Chapter 15. 01:18:36.580 --> 01:18:43.580 So let's look at the timeline here of the crucifixion because this, you know, because people get confused about this. 01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:47.580 They go, it's a contradiction because Luke says this and Mark says this and John says this. 01:18:47.580 --> 01:18:53.580 It's not a contradiction. It's just the synoptic gospels, which are Matthew, Mark and Luke, keep the Jewish time. 01:18:53.580 --> 01:18:58.580 John keeps the Roman time. So it's not super hard to figure out. 01:18:58.580 --> 01:19:04.580 But Mark, Chapter 15, verse 25 says, And it was the third hour and they crucified him. 01:19:04.580 --> 01:19:11.580 So the Jews keep time from so at six a.m. would be the first hour. 01:19:11.580 --> 01:19:17.580 OK, so if it's the third hour, what time is it that they crucify him? 01:19:17.580 --> 01:19:19.580 Nine o'clock in the morning. All right. 01:19:19.580 --> 01:19:28.580 So Matthew, 27, verse 45 says, Now the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 01:19:28.580 --> 01:19:34.580 So from the sixth hour to the ninth hour. So Jesus is crucified at nine a.m. 01:19:34.580 --> 01:19:39.580 The sixth hour there's darkness over all the land. What time is the sixth hour? 01:19:39.580 --> 01:19:45.580 Twelve o'clock, right? Noon. And then to the ninth hour, which is three o'clock in the afternoon. 01:19:45.580 --> 01:19:50.580 So Jesus crucified at nine o'clock at three o'clock. 01:19:50.580 --> 01:19:55.580 He so he's on the cross from from nine o'clock in the morning till three o'clock in the afternoon. 01:19:55.580 --> 01:20:04.580 That's a long time. But so I'll pick up reading here at Matthew, 27, verse 46, it says, And about the ninth hour. 01:20:04.580 --> 01:20:13.580 Jesus cried with the law with a loud voice saying, Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani, that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 01:20:13.580 --> 01:20:25.580 Some of them that stood there when they heard that said this, this man called for Elias and straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it with vinegar and put it on a read and gave it gave him to drink. 01:20:25.580 --> 01:20:30.580 And the rest said, Let be let us see whether Elias will come for him to save him. 01:20:30.580 --> 01:20:35.580 Jesus then when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 01:20:35.580 --> 01:20:39.580 So when did he die? Around three o'clock in the afternoon. 01:20:39.580 --> 01:20:49.580 So this is the preparation day. So really, he kind of died at the at the right time for him to be able to they still had time to take him off the cross. 01:20:49.580 --> 01:20:57.580 They still had time to wrap him up in the linen and to bury him in the tomb before the Passover. 01:20:57.580 --> 01:21:03.580 And that's why they had to hurry up and do it really quickly, because the Passover was at hand. 01:21:03.580 --> 01:21:14.580 And so I mean, we had this guy that went to our church, Josh Tap, and he was trying to convince people that the time was like a different time. 01:21:14.580 --> 01:21:18.580 But the master's couldn't add up. 01:21:18.580 --> 01:21:26.580 You know, he was like trying to say that the day started at the right time of the day and that it was just these holidays that were a different time. 01:21:26.580 --> 01:21:36.580 But it just it couldn't make sense, the timeline, because it just it wasn't just was not jiving at all with the timeline of the whole week before. 01:21:36.580 --> 01:21:41.580 I was just like sitting there trying to figure it all out. But just there's just no way it could work out. 01:21:41.580 --> 01:21:46.580 But I mean, I had to stop him from going to preach a sermon in Seattle about it. 01:21:46.580 --> 01:21:55.580 It would have just made our church look like we're a bunch of retards or something, because he was going to say that that the Sabbath day was not on Saturday. 01:21:55.580 --> 01:22:03.580 That everybody that worships us or does the Sabbath day still today, like the Jews and the Seventh-day Adventists, we're doing it on the wrong time. 01:22:03.580 --> 01:22:11.580 And I just went, no, because the Sabbath day, they are supposed to do it from the evening in the morning. 01:22:11.580 --> 01:22:16.580 So, yeah, anyway, so I'm glad we dodged the bullet on that one. 01:22:16.580 --> 01:22:19.580 I'm glad I found out before he preached it. 01:22:19.580 --> 01:22:24.580 But it's just like stuff like that, that like, I mean, it can just make our church look really bad. 01:22:24.580 --> 01:22:31.580 And so I'm glad I caught that before that happened. But there's other things that he was teaching that were weird, too. 01:22:31.580 --> 01:22:35.580 I don't really like to talk about him too much because I just don't want to give him a platform. 01:22:35.580 --> 01:22:40.580 But, yeah, he was had some real special teachings. 01:22:40.580 --> 01:22:47.580 So let's see. Moving on. Let's see the. 01:22:47.580 --> 01:22:52.580 So anyway, so Jesus dies three o'clock in the afternoon. 01:22:52.580 --> 01:22:59.580 So it's the preparation day. It's the 13th day of Nissen, which right when the Passover is supposed to be killed in the evening. 01:22:59.580 --> 01:23:07.580 And then they eat the Passover. So so when Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples, it was the day before. 01:23:07.580 --> 01:23:09.580 So he did not eat his. He did. 01:23:09.580 --> 01:23:16.580 When he said, I desire to eat this Passover with you, he didn't eat it on the day of the real Passover. 01:23:16.580 --> 01:23:19.580 Why didn't he do that? Because he is the Passover. 01:23:19.580 --> 01:23:22.580 It's kind of hard to eat the Passover when he's dead. 01:23:22.580 --> 01:23:27.580 So he basically just he did it on a different day. 01:23:27.580 --> 01:23:33.580 He had to because he is the Passover. I mean, he was literally going to be the Passover the next day. 01:23:33.580 --> 01:23:37.580 So and that was a hard thing because I'm just so black and white when it comes to stuff like that. 01:23:37.580 --> 01:23:42.580 It's hard for me to just get off. You know, well, he had to do it on this on this on the right dates. 01:23:42.580 --> 01:23:47.580 So for me to think that he would he would eat the Passover on a different day than the day he was supposed to, 01:23:47.580 --> 01:23:51.580 like just kind of like, you know, doesn't compute to me. 01:23:51.580 --> 01:23:57.580 So I really had to, you know, come to that conclusion that he just didn't do it on the day he was supposed to. 01:23:57.580 --> 01:24:00.580 So because he couldn't, though, I mean, it makes sense. 01:24:00.580 --> 01:24:07.580 John 19, 15 says, But they cried out away with him away with him, crucify him. 01:24:07.580 --> 01:24:10.580 Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? 01:24:10.580 --> 01:24:15.580 The chief priest answered, We have no king but Caesar. 01:24:15.580 --> 01:24:23.580 I thought about this. I was just like, This kind of comes full circle from the time of Samuel. 01:24:23.580 --> 01:24:27.580 Because we're studying that book and I know that we're going to come to this chapter, 01:24:27.580 --> 01:24:33.580 but it really does come full circle because they rejected God as their king in the book of First Samuel. 01:24:33.580 --> 01:24:36.580 Let's turn over there real quick and look at these verses. 01:24:36.580 --> 01:24:42.580 First Samuel, Chapter eight, First Samuel, Chapter eight, because Samuel Samuel's sons, 01:24:42.580 --> 01:24:47.580 they took bribes and perverted judgment. He was a great judge. He was a great prophet. 01:24:47.580 --> 01:24:53.580 He was a great a great priest and he did a great job, but his sons were not. 01:24:53.580 --> 01:24:57.580 And so this is kind of the final straw with the children of Israel. 01:24:57.580 --> 01:24:59.580 They're like, We're sick of this little pattern. 01:24:59.580 --> 01:25:04.580 And instead of just, you know, trying to figure it out and keep the system of the judges, 01:25:04.580 --> 01:25:09.580 which God put in into place, they just rebelled against God and just said, 01:25:09.580 --> 01:25:12.580 Hey, just give us a king like all the other nations have. 01:25:12.580 --> 01:25:16.580 And see, we're not supposed to be like all the other nations. This is the thing. 01:25:16.580 --> 01:25:23.580 It says, And said unto him, verse five, Behold thou art old and thy sons walk not in thy ways. 01:25:23.580 --> 01:25:27.580 Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 01:25:27.580 --> 01:25:29.580 So they want to be like the world. 01:25:29.580 --> 01:25:34.580 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, Give us a king to judge us. 01:25:34.580 --> 01:25:36.580 And Samuel prayed unto the Lord. 01:25:36.580 --> 01:25:41.580 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Harken unto the voice of the people and all that they say unto thee. 01:25:41.580 --> 01:25:46.580 For they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 01:25:46.580 --> 01:25:51.580 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, 01:25:51.580 --> 01:25:57.580 even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 01:25:57.580 --> 01:26:02.580 Now therefore, hearken unto their voice, how yet protest solemnly unto them, 01:26:02.580 --> 01:26:06.580 and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 01:26:06.580 --> 01:26:12.580 And really, you know, it started out okay, but then, I mean, even the first king, Saul, failed them. 01:26:12.580 --> 01:26:17.580 David had his failures. Solomon, he did evil on the side of the Lord. 01:26:17.580 --> 01:26:19.580 He did good at first. He did evil on the side of the Lord. 01:26:19.580 --> 01:26:21.580 Then it was just kind of like hit or miss. 01:26:21.580 --> 01:26:23.580 I mean, the kingdom was divided. 01:26:23.580 --> 01:26:29.580 And then it ended in a complete train wreck where both Israel and Judah are taken out of the land 01:26:29.580 --> 01:26:32.580 and completely demolished. God brings them back. 01:26:32.580 --> 01:26:36.580 Same thing happens when we get to the point where Jesus is here. 01:26:36.580 --> 01:26:40.580 And who is Jesus? Jesus literally is their king. 01:26:40.580 --> 01:26:45.580 Jesus is their king. And he's also God. Right? 01:26:45.580 --> 01:26:51.580 And so here he is standing before them, a bloody mess, and they're like, 01:26:51.580 --> 01:26:53.580 we have no king but Caesar. 01:26:53.580 --> 01:26:58.580 And so the thing that they asked for in the book of Samuel was we want a king to reign over us. 01:26:58.580 --> 01:27:04.580 And then literally their king and their God is standing before them, and they reject him. 01:27:04.580 --> 01:27:07.580 He came to his own and his own received him not. 01:27:07.580 --> 01:27:11.580 And but yet, someone that comes in their own name, him they will receive. 01:27:11.580 --> 01:27:15.580 This is how wicked the nation of Israel actually is. 01:27:16.580 --> 01:27:24.580 These these supposed rulers, the Pharisees, they're not even the system that Israel was supposed to have. 01:27:24.580 --> 01:27:29.580 The Pharisees is just a system that was not even supposed to exist at the time. 01:27:29.580 --> 01:27:33.580 They sit in Moses' seat, but they're not really the system that God put in place. 01:27:33.580 --> 01:27:39.580 It's the high priest and the priests and the Levites were supposed to be the ones that were doing these things. 01:27:39.580 --> 01:27:41.580 And they were supposed to have the system of the judges. 01:27:41.580 --> 01:27:44.580 But they just kept continue to rebel and rebel and rebel. 01:27:44.580 --> 01:27:48.580 That's why God just never restored Israel as the head. 01:27:48.580 --> 01:27:49.580 They were always the tail. 01:27:49.580 --> 01:27:52.580 That's why Rome was ruling over them. 01:27:52.580 --> 01:27:54.580 That's why before them, the Greeks were ruling over them. 01:27:54.580 --> 01:27:57.580 That's why before them, the Medes and the Persians were ruling over them. 01:27:57.580 --> 01:28:00.580 That's why before them, the Babylonians were ruling over them. 01:28:00.580 --> 01:28:04.580 That's why they're not top dogs right now either. 01:28:04.580 --> 01:28:06.580 After 2000 years, they finally become a nation again. 01:28:06.580 --> 01:28:10.580 And then they need us to do all their work for them still. 01:28:10.580 --> 01:28:12.580 Because they're little harlots. 01:28:12.580 --> 01:28:14.580 They're little hoes. 01:28:14.580 --> 01:28:17.580 And they just always go after all these other gods. 01:28:17.580 --> 01:28:22.580 And like, I mean, they call them God's chosen people, but they don't even believe in God. 01:28:22.580 --> 01:28:24.580 How does that work? 01:28:24.580 --> 01:28:29.580 And then they sit there and say, we have no king but Caesar? 01:28:29.580 --> 01:28:31.580 It's wicked. 01:28:31.580 --> 01:28:34.580 No wonder why God destroyed that place. 01:28:35.580 --> 01:28:51.580 But then we got bootlickers like Phil Stringer, who's calling us wicked and putting us in categories with Adolf Hitler and all the worst types of people. 01:28:51.580 --> 01:28:54.580 And it's like, what in the world? 01:28:54.580 --> 01:28:56.580 We treated that guy like gold. 01:28:56.580 --> 01:28:58.580 We totally respected the guy. 01:28:58.580 --> 01:29:02.580 And he's just getting worse and worse, putting all these weird posts up on Facebook. 01:29:02.580 --> 01:29:08.580 Now we're Candace Owens, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, or whatever else he's saying. 01:29:08.580 --> 01:29:11.580 It's like, what are you talking about, man? 01:29:11.580 --> 01:29:13.580 You're out of your mind. 01:29:13.580 --> 01:29:16.580 And this is what zio worshippers do. 01:29:16.580 --> 01:29:18.580 They just lick their boots. 01:29:18.580 --> 01:29:22.580 They just would love to be their Gentile slaves in the millennial reign or something. 01:29:22.580 --> 01:29:31.580 And I mean, he gets on there and he says, I'm being accused of believing in two different covenants. 01:29:31.580 --> 01:29:33.580 He said it with his own mouth. 01:29:33.580 --> 01:29:35.580 I listen to him say it. 01:29:35.580 --> 01:29:41.580 I just want to post it on his page while I'm just having that time, where he actually says, and Israel has an everlasting covenant. 01:29:41.580 --> 01:29:44.580 That's what he said. 01:29:44.580 --> 01:29:46.580 It's like, yeah, you said it, buddy. 01:29:46.580 --> 01:29:48.580 You said that they have an everlasting covenant. 01:29:48.580 --> 01:29:57.580 And I agree with that, except for the everlasting covenant is the covenant of Abraham, which became the New Testament. 01:29:57.580 --> 01:29:59.580 It was until the promised seed should come. 01:29:59.580 --> 01:30:01.580 Have you not read? 01:30:01.580 --> 01:30:03.580 Have you not read the Bible? 01:30:03.580 --> 01:30:04.580 Don't you understand? 01:30:04.580 --> 01:30:11.580 It's like they're just blinded by their worship of the Israeli flag, which is the star of Remphan, by the way. 01:30:11.580 --> 01:30:14.580 I don't get it. 01:30:14.580 --> 01:30:16.580 I mean, God just spells it out for us here. 01:30:16.580 --> 01:30:23.580 They rejected him. 01:30:23.580 --> 01:30:29.580 They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 01:30:29.580 --> 01:30:30.580 And what did he say? 01:30:30.580 --> 01:30:40.580 In the millennial reign, he said he's going to separate the sheep from the goats, and he's going to say, bring them before me that I may slay them. 01:30:40.580 --> 01:30:46.580 I mean, those that would not have me to reign over them, bring them before me that I will enslave them before me. 01:30:46.580 --> 01:30:48.580 That's what he said. 01:30:48.580 --> 01:30:50.580 And who's he talking about? 01:30:50.580 --> 01:30:57.580 He's talking about the nation, quote unquote, of Israel, the so-called chosen people. 01:30:57.580 --> 01:30:59.580 It's ridiculous. 01:30:59.580 --> 01:31:01.580 It's so annoying. 01:31:01.580 --> 01:31:04.580 Verse 16, sorry, I went off on a side rant there. 01:31:04.580 --> 01:31:12.580 But then delivered he them, or him therefore unto them to be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away. 01:31:12.580 --> 01:31:28.580 Verse 17, And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha, where they crucified him, and two other with him on either side in Jesus in the midst. 01:31:28.580 --> 01:31:35.580 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross, and the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. 01:31:35.580 --> 01:31:44.580 This title then read many of the Jews for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. 01:31:44.580 --> 01:31:51.580 Then said the chief priest of the Jews to Pilate, write not the King of the Jews, but that he said, I'm the King of the Jews. 01:31:51.580 --> 01:31:53.580 I mean, they even try to control what he's writing. 01:31:53.580 --> 01:31:56.580 It's like, no, dude, just shut up. 01:31:56.580 --> 01:31:58.580 It's so funny. 01:31:58.580 --> 01:32:03.580 It's like, no, don't write that he was the King of the Jews, but write that he said he was. 01:32:03.580 --> 01:32:05.580 Pilate answered, What I've written, I've written. 01:32:05.580 --> 01:32:08.580 I mean, at least he kind of stands up to him a little bit, but it's not enough. 01:32:08.580 --> 01:32:11.580 Because I mean, I believe the pilot turns into a reprobate later on. 01:32:11.580 --> 01:32:16.580 I mean, he becomes friends with Herod later on. 01:32:16.580 --> 01:32:27.580 So it says, Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts to every soldier apart and also his coat. 01:32:27.580 --> 01:32:31.580 Now, the coat was without seam woven from the top throughout. 01:32:31.580 --> 01:32:40.580 So I mean, basically every shred of dignity that he has left, all he's literally got before he's crucified is his clothes on his back. 01:32:40.580 --> 01:32:46.580 The only clothes he has, which is a nice outfit, apparently nice enough to where they don't want to divide it up. 01:32:46.580 --> 01:32:48.580 They don't want to get wrecked. 01:32:48.580 --> 01:32:50.580 So they take his they strip his clothes off. 01:32:50.580 --> 01:32:59.580 So they strip him naked and nail him to the cross and hang him up there in front of his mom, in front of his sisters, in front of his brother, in front of his disciples, 01:32:59.580 --> 01:33:03.580 in front of everybody while they gamble for his clothes. 01:33:03.580 --> 01:33:05.580 Freaking sick, man. 01:33:05.580 --> 01:33:06.580 It's disgusting. 01:33:06.580 --> 01:33:11.580 This is the type of people that they just hate him. 01:33:11.580 --> 01:33:13.580 It's wicked. 01:33:13.580 --> 01:33:18.580 Every shred of dignity just stripped from him, humiliating him in front of everybody. 01:33:18.580 --> 01:33:25.580 The Psalm says in verse 22, verse 16, I won't have you turn there, but it says, For dogs have compassed me. 01:33:25.580 --> 01:33:28.580 The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me. 01:33:28.580 --> 01:33:30.580 They pierced my hands and my feet. 01:33:30.580 --> 01:33:32.580 I may tell all all my bones. 01:33:32.580 --> 01:33:34.580 They look and stare upon me. 01:33:34.580 --> 01:33:38.580 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture. 01:33:38.580 --> 01:33:45.580 But be not thou far from me, O Lord, all my strength has the to help me. 01:33:45.580 --> 01:33:50.580 Deliver my soul from the sword, my darling, from the power of the dog. 01:33:50.580 --> 01:33:53.580 Kind of makes me think there's some sodomites hanging out there or something. 01:33:53.580 --> 01:33:58.580 But I mean, obviously this is talking about, you know, spiritual warfare at the same time. 01:33:58.580 --> 01:34:01.580 I mean, he knows who's around him. 01:34:01.580 --> 01:34:10.580 John 19, 24, they said, Therefore among themselves, let us not rend it, but cast lots for whose it shall be, 01:34:10.580 --> 01:34:17.580 that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith they parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture did they cast lots. 01:34:17.580 --> 01:34:20.580 These things therefore the soldiers did. 01:34:20.580 --> 01:34:29.580 Now they're stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary, the wife of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene. 01:34:29.580 --> 01:34:37.580 When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciples standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son. 01:34:37.580 --> 01:34:41.580 Then saith he to his disciple, Behold thy mother. 01:34:41.580 --> 01:34:45.580 And from that hour that disciple took her into his own home. 01:34:45.580 --> 01:34:51.580 So I mean basically the last act that he does before he dies is make sure his mom is taken care of. 01:34:51.580 --> 01:34:56.580 I mean, he's a great, he's a stand-up man. Amen. 01:34:56.580 --> 01:34:58.580 Jesus takes care of his mother. 01:34:58.580 --> 01:35:00.580 Kids, take care of your mother. 01:35:00.580 --> 01:35:02.580 Be good to your mother. 01:35:02.580 --> 01:35:06.580 Take care of her. 01:35:06.580 --> 01:35:12.580 The last act he does right before he dies, he's in agony, he's been on the cross hanging there for six hours. 01:35:12.580 --> 01:35:15.580 And he just thinks about his mom. 01:35:15.580 --> 01:35:20.580 And you know sometimes Jesus would say things and you'd think he's a little gruff with his mom or whatever. 01:35:20.580 --> 01:35:22.580 But you know what? He loved her. 01:35:22.580 --> 01:35:23.580 He took care of her. 01:35:23.580 --> 01:35:25.580 He made sure she had a place to go and stay. 01:35:25.580 --> 01:35:29.580 Because his brothers apparently weren't going to take care of her or something. 01:35:29.580 --> 01:35:30.580 I don't know. 01:35:30.580 --> 01:35:34.580 His brothers ended up getting saved, but maybe he just knew they weren't going to take care of her. 01:35:34.580 --> 01:35:35.580 I don't know. 01:35:35.580 --> 01:35:38.580 But he definitely gave her a new place to dwell there. 01:35:38.580 --> 01:35:40.580 So verse 28. 01:35:40.580 --> 01:36:09.580 And this is like one of the dirtiest tricks I think that they could pull on him too. 01:36:09.580 --> 01:36:15.580 I mean vinegar is, I mean the vinegar that they're giving him is probably just looks like water. 01:36:15.580 --> 01:36:19.580 It's probably white vinegar that you could buy from the store. 01:36:19.580 --> 01:36:23.580 They put a little hyssop in it maybe to make it not smell or whatever. 01:36:23.580 --> 01:36:25.580 Like that vinegary smell. 01:36:25.580 --> 01:36:29.580 And then when he asks for water, they try to give him some vinegar. 01:36:29.580 --> 01:36:33.580 The grossest thing you could probably give somebody when they're about to take a drink of water. 01:36:33.580 --> 01:36:35.580 It's just like a trick. 01:36:35.580 --> 01:36:40.580 They're just waiting for him to say he's thirsty so they can give him some vinegar to drink. 01:36:40.580 --> 01:36:45.580 I mean they're just brutal until the end. 01:36:45.580 --> 01:36:52.580 That's why I think that it's just like all this is designed by the devil to just vex him to the very last breath in his body. 01:36:52.580 --> 01:36:54.580 It says, 01:36:54.580 --> 01:37:01.580 The Jews therefore because it was preparation, the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day. 01:37:01.580 --> 01:37:04.580 For the Sabbath day was a high day. 01:37:04.580 --> 01:37:08.580 Be sought, Pilate, that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 01:37:08.580 --> 01:37:12.580 Then came the soldiers and break the legs of the first and the other which was crucified with him. 01:37:12.580 --> 01:37:18.580 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they break not his legs. 01:37:18.580 --> 01:37:25.580 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there out blood and water. 01:37:25.580 --> 01:37:32.580 And he that saw it bear record, and his record is true, and he knoweth that he sayeth true, that ye might believe. 01:37:32.580 --> 01:37:38.580 For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, a bone of him shall not be broken. 01:37:38.580 --> 01:37:43.580 And again another scripture sayeth, they shall look on him who they pierced. 01:37:44.580 --> 01:37:51.580 So it's really interesting here because it says that this scripture is fulfilled, but then this scripture is going to be fulfilled again. 01:37:51.580 --> 01:37:57.580 And just really quickly, I know we're, well, we haven't even been an hour yet. 01:37:57.580 --> 01:38:02.580 Quit whining. I see your faces. 01:38:02.580 --> 01:38:10.580 Revelation 1, 7 says, Behold he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him. 01:38:10.580 --> 01:38:15.580 And all kinders of the earth shall wail because of him, even so, amen. 01:38:15.580 --> 01:38:19.580 So here it is again in Revelation, this is when Jesus actually comes back. 01:38:19.580 --> 01:38:22.580 So they're going to look on him who they pierced again. 01:38:22.580 --> 01:38:29.580 So I mean, the Bible is just a great book layered with multiple fulfillments in some areas. 01:38:29.580 --> 01:38:36.580 I mean, Jerusalem's been destroyed twice already, and the temple's been destroyed twice. 01:38:36.580 --> 01:38:39.580 But guess what? It's going to get destroyed again. 01:38:39.580 --> 01:38:43.580 The temple's going to get destroyed again. There's going to be another temple that gets destroyed again. 01:38:43.580 --> 01:38:50.580 But the Bible says for sure right here that again another scripture sayeth, they shall look on him who they pierced. 01:38:50.580 --> 01:38:56.580 So they are going to look on him who they pierced again in Revelation 1, verse number 7. 01:38:56.580 --> 01:39:00.580 So it's just interesting that it gets fulfilled again like that. 01:39:00.580 --> 01:39:03.580 So it just proves that the Bible is a very deep book. 01:39:03.580 --> 01:39:10.580 So verse 38, And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for the fear of the Jews, 01:39:10.580 --> 01:39:13.580 besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. 01:39:13.580 --> 01:39:18.580 And Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. 01:39:18.580 --> 01:39:27.580 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about a hundred pound weight. 01:39:27.580 --> 01:39:36.580 That's a lot. Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the spices as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 01:39:36.580 --> 01:39:43.580 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a new sepulcher wherein was never a man yet laid. 01:39:43.580 --> 01:39:49.580 So it's very interesting. So they wrap him in linen clothes and linen is white, fine linen. 01:39:49.580 --> 01:39:55.580 So and then the so when he raises from the dead, that's what he's in. 01:39:55.580 --> 01:40:00.580 Very interesting because that's also something that the high priest was supposed to be in. 01:40:00.580 --> 01:40:09.580 But then we're in a never man. So he goes into a borrowed tomb, wasn't his tomb, but they still laid him in it anyway. 01:40:09.580 --> 01:40:16.580 And so he definitely wouldn't have been defiled in that way where there's another body in there. 01:40:16.580 --> 01:40:25.580 Let's see. And then there they laid Jesus. Therefore, because of the Jews preparation day for the sepulcher was nigh at hand. 01:40:25.580 --> 01:40:33.580 So that means they didn't go very far. They didn't crucify him very far away from the city, but he was crucified outside the city gates. 01:40:33.580 --> 01:40:39.580 The Bible is very clear about that doesn't say it in this passage, but in other passages it does. So Jesus was without the gate. 01:40:39.580 --> 01:40:48.580 OK, but today in the current Jerusalem where it's at and later on they added on to the city and the city was expanded. 01:40:48.580 --> 01:40:59.580 And so people will say like, well, it wasn't in, you know, people say that the, you know, the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is not the burial place because look, it's inside the city. 01:40:59.580 --> 01:41:10.580 Yeah, but it wasn't then. And that church was built over the top of that garden because they dug down and found and found the plant life and stuff that was there. 01:41:10.580 --> 01:41:21.580 Because it says it was in a garden and the place where Paul Wittenberger's film says it is. Does that look like a garden on top of there or like there ever was a garden on top of there or ever a structure built on top of there? 01:41:21.580 --> 01:41:33.580 No, there doesn't. And in one, I think it was like one something AD, Hadrian built a temple over the top of where that place of the Holy Sepulcher is right now. 01:41:33.580 --> 01:41:42.580 And why did he build it right there? And he put like a god to something right over the spot where Jesus was crucified. 01:41:42.580 --> 01:41:49.580 And you know why he knew where to put it? Because everybody knew where Jesus was crucified. Nobody's ever lost the place where Jesus was crucified. 01:41:49.580 --> 01:41:56.580 It's the most famous place in the whole world. The Temple Mount is one of the most famous places in the whole world. 01:41:56.580 --> 01:42:04.580 Temple on Temple Mount. That's where it is. That's where it was. That's where everybody knows it is. It's just a fact of history. 01:42:04.580 --> 01:42:09.580 It's not moved. It's in the same spot. And we know exactly where it's at. 01:42:09.580 --> 01:42:16.580 And like it doesn't really matter as far as like it's not like Jesus is going to come back to the place where he was buried or whatever. 01:42:16.580 --> 01:42:24.580 But to say that we lost that that place is just ridiculous. But the fact that it says it's in a it's in a guard, you know, that he was crucified. 01:42:24.580 --> 01:42:32.580 There was a garden there. It's really interesting because when they dug, I mean, because like places were built on top of that over and over again. 01:42:32.580 --> 01:42:38.580 Why? Why would they just keep continuing to build churches and then Muslim mosques over the top of it? 01:42:38.580 --> 01:42:47.580 I mean, Hadrian built a temple, a pagan temple over the top of it. When Constantine became the emperor of Rome and he became a Christian or whatever, 01:42:47.580 --> 01:42:55.580 his mother went down to Jerusalem and went on a pilgrimage and she saw that there was like some pagan temple over the top of it or whatever. 01:42:55.580 --> 01:42:59.580 And she said there's, you know, she wrote him a letter and said, hey, there's some pagan temple on there. 01:42:59.580 --> 01:43:04.580 And then Constantine ordered to be torn down and they built a mausoleum over the top of it. 01:43:04.580 --> 01:43:11.580 So that place has a lot of history and it's pretty well documented to be the place where Jesus's tomb was. 01:43:11.580 --> 01:43:14.580 And again, when they did the archaeology, they went throughout. 01:43:14.580 --> 01:43:20.580 I mean, they know how old things are by the coins that they find in the ground, by all the structures. 01:43:20.580 --> 01:43:24.580 I mean, it's it's not like I mean, that's how they find things. 01:43:24.580 --> 01:43:29.580 The layers, what kind of architecture was there, what kind of pottery they find. 01:43:29.580 --> 01:43:34.580 It's a pretty well established archaeological science. 01:43:34.580 --> 01:43:38.580 So, I mean, I'm pretty convinced that it's where they think it is. 01:43:38.580 --> 01:43:42.580 Now, do I like all the idols and stuff like that that they have inside there? 01:43:42.580 --> 01:43:45.580 No, I'm not saying that I agree with that. 01:43:45.580 --> 01:43:52.580 But I mean, it's it's it's pretty well established where Jesus was crucified, where his grave was. 01:43:52.580 --> 01:43:57.580 But and the fact that they found, you know, when they got all the way to the bottom level of that, 01:43:57.580 --> 01:44:02.580 they find fauna from a garden in there on that bottom row. 01:44:02.580 --> 01:44:05.580 And the Bible says that there's a garden near the sepulcher. 01:44:05.580 --> 01:44:13.580 So and then in the in John chapter 20, it says that Jesus, when Mary was there and she's all upset, she's like, they've taken away my Lord. 01:44:13.580 --> 01:44:14.580 I don't know where he is. 01:44:14.580 --> 01:44:17.580 And then she's supposing him to be the gardener. 01:44:17.580 --> 01:44:20.580 When she saw Jesus at first, she supposed that he was a gardener. 01:44:20.580 --> 01:44:23.580 But she supposed he was a gardener because it was in a garden. 01:44:23.580 --> 01:44:24.580 That's why. 01:44:24.580 --> 01:44:27.580 So, I mean, pretty simple stuff. 01:44:27.580 --> 01:44:45.580 But then Jesus said unto her, Mary, and she turned herself and saith unto him, Roboan, which is to say, Master, Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not, for I'm not yet ascended to my father, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my father and your father and to my God and your God. 01:44:46.580 --> 01:44:53.580 So the thing about Jesus being crucified and killed, you know, he did a lot for us. 01:44:53.580 --> 01:44:56.580 He suffered a lot for us and went through a lot for us. 01:44:56.580 --> 01:44:58.580 But he did rise again. 01:44:58.580 --> 01:45:00.580 And if he didn't rise again, we wouldn't be here right now. 01:45:00.580 --> 01:45:07.580 We'd be doing whatever plan Call of Duty or doing playing at the park or doing something else. 01:45:07.580 --> 01:45:09.580 We'd be doing something besides what we're doing right now. 01:45:09.580 --> 01:45:15.580 But what Jesus did was really important and nobody's going to die for a lie. 01:45:15.580 --> 01:45:19.580 All of his disciples were killed because they continue to tell his story. 01:45:19.580 --> 01:45:23.580 And people have died throughout the ages because of this. 01:45:23.580 --> 01:45:26.580 And people still believe because it's true. 01:45:26.580 --> 01:45:28.580 It's not because it's false. 01:45:28.580 --> 01:45:30.580 A lot of blood's been spilled. 01:45:30.580 --> 01:45:32.580 He spilled his blood for us. 01:45:32.580 --> 01:45:35.580 He paid the ultimate sacrifice for us. 01:45:35.580 --> 01:45:41.580 And I mean, to say that he didn't go, I mean, to say like that just it was nothing for him to go for this. 01:45:41.580 --> 01:45:43.580 He felt everything. 01:45:43.580 --> 01:45:49.580 It's not like he didn't feel it when he's in the garden sweating as it were great drops of blood. 01:45:49.580 --> 01:45:55.580 It wasn't like he was sweating blood, but he was sweating so hard because he knew what he was going to go through. 01:45:55.580 --> 01:46:01.580 Because if you know what's in store for you, when you know exactly what's going to happen to you like that, 01:46:02.580 --> 01:46:06.580 you're going to be freaking out too and probably sweating like that too. 01:46:06.580 --> 01:46:09.580 I mean, I sweat sometimes just being nervous about having to do certain things. 01:46:09.580 --> 01:46:15.580 But like, I mean, he's sweating as it were great sweat drops as it were. 01:46:15.580 --> 01:46:21.580 Like if you're bleeding, that's how bad he was sweating because he knew what he was going to have to go through. 01:46:21.580 --> 01:46:23.580 And, you know, he took a lot for us. 01:46:23.580 --> 01:46:25.580 He took the spinning. He took the thorny crown. 01:46:25.580 --> 01:46:27.580 He took the punches. 01:46:27.580 --> 01:46:29.580 He took his beard being ripped out. 01:46:29.580 --> 01:46:32.580 He took the humiliation being stripped naked. 01:46:32.580 --> 01:46:35.580 And he did it so that we could be free. 01:46:35.580 --> 01:46:45.580 And, you know, just like, you know, the story of Barabbas isn't in this chapter, but Barabbas, his name means son of the father. 01:46:45.580 --> 01:46:49.580 Bar means son. Abba means father. 01:46:49.580 --> 01:46:53.580 And so when they had the choice of who they're going to set free, who they set free? 01:46:53.580 --> 01:46:55.580 They set free Barabbas, didn't they? 01:46:55.580 --> 01:46:57.580 Who deserved to be set free though? 01:46:57.580 --> 01:46:59.580 Jesus. 01:46:59.580 --> 01:47:05.580 But instead Jesus gets sacrificed and Barabbas, the murderer, and the seditionist gets set free. 01:47:05.580 --> 01:47:08.580 But really that picture pictures us. 01:47:08.580 --> 01:47:11.580 We don't deserve to be set free, but we get set free. 01:47:11.580 --> 01:47:14.580 And because Jesus sacrificed himself for us. 01:47:14.580 --> 01:47:23.580 So something to think about, you know, as we enter into this time of year and the great things that Jesus has done for us. 01:47:23.580 --> 01:47:28.580 And don't forget that, you know, we need to forgive other people for the things that they've done to us. 01:47:28.580 --> 01:47:31.580 And make sure that we're like Jesus. 01:47:31.580 --> 01:47:35.580 Because, you know, when people say, hey, are you a Christian? 01:47:35.580 --> 01:47:39.580 You know, we are Christians, but Christians means little Christ, right? 01:47:39.580 --> 01:47:42.580 So we should be and try to be like Christ as much as possible. 01:47:42.580 --> 01:47:43.580 We should be forgiving to other people. 01:47:43.580 --> 01:47:45.580 We should try to help people when we can. 01:47:45.580 --> 01:47:51.580 And we should also try to make other Christians also. 01:47:51.580 --> 01:47:56.580 And, you know, I just hope that our church continues to stay united and strong. 01:47:56.580 --> 01:48:00.580 And we should help out the strong members and the weak members. 01:48:00.580 --> 01:48:02.580 You know, I'm not saying anybody's weak here. 01:48:02.580 --> 01:48:06.580 I'm just saying that, you know, we all have times of weakness though. 01:48:06.580 --> 01:48:07.580 We all have times when we're strong. 01:48:07.580 --> 01:48:09.580 We all have times when we're weak. 01:48:09.580 --> 01:48:18.580 And, you know, this coming Easter, you know, we should reflect on the resurrection and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. 01:48:18.580 --> 01:48:23.580 And the fact that he gives us power to live a victorious and free life in him. 01:48:23.580 --> 01:48:27.580 So let's pray, Lord, we thank you so much for the Bible. 01:48:27.580 --> 01:48:30.580 And we thank you so much for what Jesus did for us. 01:48:30.580 --> 01:48:37.580 And Lord, may us never lose track and lose sight of the things that you did and how you bled and died for us. 01:48:37.580 --> 01:48:44.580 And all the punishment and the mocking and the cruel temptations that you endured for us. 01:48:45.580 --> 01:48:50.580 And Lord, it's just hard to even imagine going through that, that you did for us. 01:48:50.580 --> 01:48:53.580 And Lord, we ask that you would just help us. 01:48:53.580 --> 01:48:57.580 Forgive us where we fail and come short and where we've sinned. 01:48:57.580 --> 01:49:00.580 Pray you just help us to be unified as a church. 01:49:00.580 --> 01:49:02.580 Help us to love each other. 01:49:02.580 --> 01:49:06.580 Help us to love the community and the people in our area. 01:49:06.580 --> 01:49:10.580 Help us to be faithful to you, Lord. 01:49:10.580 --> 01:49:15.580 And Lord, I pray that you just bless us as we go our separate ways tonight. 01:49:15.580 --> 01:49:17.580 And take us home safely. 01:49:17.580 --> 01:49:19.580 It's in Jesus' name we ask. Amen. 01:49:32.580 --> 01:49:36.580 I thought we were doing revelations, so Christ returneth. 01:49:37.580 --> 01:49:39.580 561 in the blue. 01:49:41.580 --> 01:49:43.580 Altogether on the first. 01:50:07.580 --> 01:50:09.580 Oh 01:50:21.580 --> 01:50:23.580 Oh 01:50:36.580 --> 01:50:38.580 Oh 01:50:48.580 --> 01:50:50.580 And maybe 01:50:58.580 --> 01:51:00.580 Oh 01:51:06.580 --> 01:51:08.580 Oh 01:51:18.580 --> 01:51:20.580 Oh 01:51:36.580 --> 01:51:38.580 Oh 01:51:38.580 --> 01:51:40.580 Oh 01:51:52.580 --> 01:51:54.580 Hey 01:52:03.580 --> 01:52:05.580 Oh 01:52:08.580 --> 01:52:10.580 Oh 01:52:24.580 --> 01:52:26.580 Oh 01:52:38.580 --> 01:52:40.580 Oh 01:53:03.580 --> 01:53:05.580 Brother Jesse can enclose us with a prayer 01:53:08.580 --> 01:53:10.580 You
