00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.020
So<00:03:24.099><c> I</c><00:03:24.240><c> want</c><00:03:24.419><c> to</c><00:03:24.439><c> look</c><00:03:24.599><c> at</c><00:03:24.719><c> some</c><00:03:24.960><c> examples</c><00:03:25.419><c> here,</c><00:03:25.819><c> first</c><00:03:26.060><c> of</c><00:03:26.280><c> all.</c>

00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:47.020
Well,<00:03:41.599><c> the</c><00:03:41.699><c> first</c><00:03:41.900><c> one</c><00:03:42.000><c> we're</c><00:03:42.139><c> going</c><00:03:42.280><c> to</c><00:03:42.400><c> look</c><00:03:42.620><c> at,</c><00:03:43.599><c> then,</c><00:03:44.000><c> is</c><00:03:45.240><c> the...</c>

00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.560
Yeah,<00:03:59.159><c> that</c><00:03:59.500><c> would</c><00:03:59.639><c> be</c><00:03:59.879><c> great.</c>

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.500

the<00:04:10.180><c> Anglican</c><00:04:10.599><c> Church</c><00:04:11.000><c> teaches</c><00:04:11.780><c> their</c><00:04:12.340><c> doctrine</c><00:04:12.759><c> on</c><00:04:13.139><c> the</c><00:04:13.439><c> future</c><00:04:14.520><c> kingship</c><00:04:15.099><c> of</c><00:04:15.280><c> Jesus.</c>

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.160
And<00:04:16.319><c> I've</c><00:04:16.879><c> summarized</c><00:04:17.319><c> what</c><00:04:17.500><c> they</c><00:04:17.720><c> say</c><00:04:17.899><c> here.</c>

00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.379
Christ,<00:04:18.860><c> it's</c><00:04:19.399><c> a</c><00:04:19.500><c> bit</c><00:04:19.720><c> wordy,</c><00:04:20.120><c> but</c><00:04:20.279><c> I'll</c><00:04:20.500><c> try</c><00:04:20.639><c> to</c><00:04:20.879><c> summarize</c><00:04:21.120><c> what</c><00:04:21.279><c> I</c>

00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:22.199
think<00:04:21.500><c> it</c><00:04:21.639><c> means</c><00:04:21.819><c> at</c><00:04:22.019><c> the</c><00:04:22.079><c> end.</c>

00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.899
Christ<00:04:22.540><c> sustained</c><00:04:23.120><c> and</c><00:04:23.560><c> exercised</c><00:04:24.120><c> the</c><00:04:24.360><c> function</c><00:04:24.800><c> of</c><00:04:25.519><c> king</c>

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.000

00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.899
So<00:04:32.540><c> he</c><00:04:32.699><c> became</c><00:04:32.920><c> a</c><00:04:33.160><c> mediator</c><00:04:33.540><c> when</c><00:04:33.839><c> Adam</c><00:04:34.139><c> fell</c><00:04:34.399><c> from</c><00:04:34.620><c> grace,</c>

00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:35.899
they<00:04:35.180><c> say.</c>

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.839
Yet<00:04:36.120><c> it</c><00:04:36.420><c> may</c><00:04:36.560><c> be</c><00:04:36.779><c> said</c><00:04:36.920><c> that</c><00:04:37.139><c> he</c><00:04:37.279><c> was</c><00:04:37.560><c> publicly</c><00:04:38.000><c> and</c><00:04:38.379><c> formally</c>

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.819

earth<00:04:46.180><c> was</c><00:04:46.540><c> finished.</c>

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.220
So<00:04:48.560><c> they</c><00:04:49.079><c> say</c><00:04:49.379><c> that</c><00:04:49.980><c> when</c><00:04:50.259><c> Jesus</c><00:04:50.600><c> rose</c><00:04:50.860><c> up</c><00:04:51.100><c> to</c><00:04:51.259><c> heaven,</c><00:04:52.480><c> his</c><00:04:52.720><c> work</c><00:04:52.980><c> on</c>

00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.680

00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.420
OK,<00:04:58.420><c> so</c><00:04:58.540><c> that's</c><00:04:58.779><c> the</c><00:04:58.959><c> Anglican</c><00:04:59.279><c> view.</c>

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.279

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:56.360
Seems<00:07:55.680><c> a</c><00:07:55.860><c> bit</c><00:07:55.959><c> obscure.</c>

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.100

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:02.680
will<00:08:01.839><c> happen.</c>

00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:07.480
And<00:08:03.819><c> Jesus</c><00:08:04.300><c> will</c><00:08:04.500><c> bring</c><00:08:04.720><c> prosperity</c><00:08:05.360><c> to</c><00:08:05.660><c> all</c><00:08:05.819><c> the</c><00:08:05.959><c> Islamic</c><00:08:06.319><c> world.</c>

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:10.480
And<00:08:07.800><c> number</c><00:08:08.160><c> five,</c><00:08:08.459><c> will</c><00:08:08.500><c> bring</c><00:08:08.699><c> all</c><00:08:09.000><c> nations</c><00:08:09.300><c> into</c><00:08:09.620><c> Islam</c><00:08:10.180><c> as</c>

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.579
So<00:08:15.620><c> that's</c><00:08:16.120><c> what's</c><00:08:16.399><c> going</c><00:08:16.540><c> to</c><00:08:16.740><c> happen</c><00:08:17.000><c> according</c><00:08:17.360><c> to</c><00:08:18.100><c> these</c>

00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:21.060
I<00:08:19.259><c> think</c><00:08:19.399><c> they</c><00:08:19.639><c> kind</c><00:08:19.759><c> of</c><00:08:19.920><c> reflect,</c><00:08:20.259><c> maybe</c><00:08:20.439><c> the</c><00:08:20.600><c> Protestant</c>

00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:30.259
Now,<00:08:27.019><c> the</c><00:08:27.980><c> Jewish</c><00:08:28.360><c> expectation</c><00:08:28.980><c> of</c><00:08:29.180><c> the</c><00:08:29.339><c> Messiah</c><00:08:29.680><c> was</c><00:08:29.959><c> that</c>

this<00:08:42.080><c> view.</c>

00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.220
I<00:08:43.720><c> think</c><00:08:43.940><c> the</c><00:08:44.059><c> real</c><00:08:44.360><c> controversy</c><00:08:45.000><c> is</c><00:08:45.259><c> to</c><00:08:45.480><c> whether</c><00:08:45.639><c> this</c><00:08:46.019><c> view</c>

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:51.159
Now,<00:08:48.779><c> as</c><00:08:49.039><c> I've</c><00:08:49.259><c> shown</c><00:08:49.379><c> you,</c><00:08:49.799><c> our</c><00:08:49.940><c> religious</c><00:08:50.279><c> teachers</c><00:08:50.700><c> of</c><00:08:50.919><c> the</c>

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:58.500

They<00:08:59.360><c> severely</c><00:08:59.940><c> condemn</c><00:09:00.500><c> the</c><00:09:00.759><c> idea</c><00:09:01.100><c> of</c><00:09:01.320><c> a</c><00:09:01.440><c> visible</c><00:09:01.720><c> kingdom</c>

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:07.919
I'll<00:09:07.259><c> just</c><00:09:07.419><c> quote</c><00:09:07.580><c> this.</c>

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:10.659
They<00:09:08.379><c> said</c><00:09:08.539><c> that</c><00:09:08.860><c> the</c><00:09:09.059><c> Catholic</c><00:09:09.320><c> Church</c><00:09:09.559><c> said</c><00:09:09.759><c> that</c><00:09:09.980><c> it</c><00:09:10.059><c> was</c>

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:44.700
Well,<00:09:41.580><c> let</c><00:09:41.779><c> us</c><00:09:41.960><c> now</c><00:09:42.220><c> look</c><00:09:42.480><c> at</c><00:09:43.460><c> the</c><00:09:43.559><c> beginning</c><00:09:43.779><c> here.</c>

00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.840
Well,<00:10:14.259><c> I'll</c><00:10:14.360><c> try</c><00:10:14.500><c> to</c><00:10:14.659><c> show</c><00:10:14.779><c> it</c><00:10:14.940><c> to</c><00:10:14.960><c> you</c><00:10:15.120><c> tonight</c><00:10:15.399><c> that</c><00:10:15.519><c> those</c>

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.000
the<00:10:22.179><c> Bible.</c>

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.700

would<00:18:21.200><c> sit</c><00:18:21.299><c> on</c><00:18:21.619><c> a</c><00:18:22.440><c> seat,</c><00:18:24.500><c> and</c><00:18:24.500><c> it's</c><00:18:25.799><c> the</c><00:18:25.799><c> position</c><00:18:26.319><c> of</c><00:18:26.700><c> Queen</c>

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.160
So<00:18:27.980><c> when</c><00:18:28.099><c> we</c><00:18:28.259><c> say</c><00:18:28.400><c> the</c><00:18:28.700><c> throne</c><00:18:29.019><c> of</c><00:18:29.220><c> England</c><00:18:29.500><c> today,</c><00:18:29.839><c> we</c><00:18:29.960><c> would</c>

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.279
think<00:18:30.339><c> about</c><00:18:30.900><c> the</c><00:18:31.319><c> power</c><00:18:31.839><c> that</c><00:18:32.339><c> the</c><00:18:32.519><c> Queen</c><00:18:32.619><c> of</c><00:18:32.779><c> England</c><00:18:33.019><c> would</c>

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:47.680
And<00:18:37.400><c> so</c><00:18:37.660><c> it</c><00:18:37.740><c> is</c><00:18:37.920><c> with</c><00:18:38.099><c> the</c><00:18:38.220><c> throne</c><00:18:38.380><c> of</c><00:18:38.619><c> David.</c><00:18:39.259><c> It's</c><00:18:39.319><c> said</c><00:18:39.440><c> of</c><00:18:39.980><c> Solomon</c><00:18:40.519><c> on</c><00:18:41.480><c> the</c><00:18:41.720><c> occasion</c><00:18:42.079><c> of</c><00:18:42.500><c> his</c><00:18:43.119><c> accession</c><00:18:44.119><c> to</c><00:18:44.359><c> the</c><00:18:44.660><c> throne</c><00:18:45.039><c> in</c><00:18:46.180><c> the</c><00:18:46.380><c> room</c><00:18:46.460><c> of</c><00:18:46.700><c> David</c><00:18:47.039><c> in</c><00:18:47.460><c> 1</c>

Kings<00:18:47.859><c> Chapter</c><00:18:48.279><c> 2.</c>

00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:58.339
Then<00:18:48.880><c> sat</c><00:18:49.299><c> Solomon</c><00:18:49.859><c> on</c><00:18:50.500><c> the</c><00:18:50.799><c> throne</c><00:18:51.079><c> of</c><00:18:51.400><c> David</c><00:18:51.579><c> his</c><00:18:51.779><c> father.</c><00:18:52.619><c> However,</c><00:18:53.779><c> if</c><00:18:53.940><c> you</c><00:18:54.099><c> go</c><00:18:54.299><c> eight</c><00:18:54.559><c> chapters</c><00:18:54.980><c> later,</c><00:18:55.440><c> and</c><00:18:55.579><c> many</c><00:18:55.740><c> years</c><00:18:56.039><c> later,</c><00:18:56.440><c> it</c><00:18:56.559><c> says</c><00:18:56.720><c> that</c><00:18:57.259><c> Solomon</c><00:18:57.740><c> made</c><00:18:58.039><c> a</c>

great<00:18:58.539><c> throne</c><00:18:58.799><c> of</c><00:18:59.059><c> ivory</c><00:18:59.279><c> and</c><00:18:59.460><c> overlaid</c><00:18:59.779><c> it</c><00:18:59.960><c> with</c><00:19:00.319><c> the</c><00:19:00.559><c> best</c><00:19:00.799><c> gull.</c>

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:06.119
So<00:19:02.480><c> you</c><00:19:02.799><c> have</c><00:19:03.059><c> a</c><00:19:03.119><c> situation</c><00:19:03.740><c> where</c><00:19:04.559><c> Solomon</c><00:19:05.039><c> actually</c><00:19:05.619><c> sat</c><00:19:05.900><c> on</c>

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.119
David's<00:19:06.640><c> throne,</c><00:19:07.660><c> but</c><00:19:07.880><c> he</c><00:19:07.980><c> wasn't</c><00:19:08.240><c> really</c><00:19:08.599><c> sitting</c><00:19:08.779><c> on</c><00:19:08.940><c> the</c>

same<00:19:09.400><c> seat.</c>

00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:12.680
That's<00:19:10.119><c> kind</c><00:19:10.299><c> of</c><00:19:10.380><c> interesting.</c><00:19:11.700><c> And</c><00:19:11.839><c> there's</c><00:19:11.980><c> no</c><00:19:12.539><c> there's</c><00:19:12.680><c> no</c>

00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:13.619

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:21.440
I<00:19:13.980><c> think</c><00:19:14.200><c> that</c><00:19:14.359><c> any</c><00:19:14.839><c> possible</c><00:19:15.579><c> attempt</c><00:19:16.160><c> to</c><00:19:17.099><c> explain</c><00:19:17.559><c> or</c><00:19:17.940><c> compromise</c><00:19:18.519><c> on</c><00:19:18.819><c> this</c><00:19:19.039><c> fundamental</c><00:19:19.519><c> concept,</c><00:19:20.519><c> you</c><00:19:20.720><c> should</c><00:19:20.900><c> reject</c><00:19:21.259><c> it</c>

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.359
because<00:19:21.559><c> it</c><00:19:21.759><c> doesn't</c><00:19:21.920><c> make</c><00:19:22.140><c> any</c><00:19:22.319><c> sense.</c>

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:27.160
Christ<00:19:24.619><c> is</c><00:19:24.859><c> now</c><00:19:25.119><c> on</c><00:19:25.359><c> David's</c><00:19:25.900><c> throne.</c><00:19:26.359><c> We</c><00:19:26.380><c> know</c><00:19:26.660><c> that</c><00:19:26.859><c> Christ</c>

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.640
David<00:19:33.259><c> himself</c><00:19:33.660><c> is</c><00:19:33.859><c> not</c><00:19:34.000><c> even</c><00:19:34.160><c> there.</c><00:19:34.539><c> We</c><00:19:34.539><c> know</c><00:19:35.059><c> Peter</c><00:19:35.400><c> said</c>

00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:08.920

There's<00:25:35.180><c> many</c><00:25:35.519><c> prophets</c><00:25:35.940><c> that</c><00:25:36.259><c> say</c><00:25:36.420><c> no.</c><00:25:37.319><c> The</c><00:25:37.539><c> desolation</c><00:25:38.119><c> will</c><00:25:38.400><c> only</c><00:25:38.720><c> continue</c><00:25:39.279><c> until</c><00:25:40.339><c> something,</c><00:25:41.039><c> that</c><00:25:41.240><c> word</c><00:25:41.440><c> until</c><00:25:41.839><c> always</c><00:25:42.160><c> comes</c><00:25:42.440><c> up.</c>

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:46.660
Well,<00:25:43.460><c> until</c><00:25:43.720><c> what?</c><00:25:44.160><c> Until</c><00:25:44.539><c> ye</c><00:25:44.819><c> come</c><00:25:45.160><c> whose</c><00:25:45.400><c> right</c><00:25:45.680><c> it</c><00:25:45.900><c> is.</c>

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:47.980
Well,<00:25:47.380><c> who's</c><00:25:47.660><c> this?</c>

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.759
It<00:25:48.400><c> can</c><00:25:48.539><c> be</c><00:25:48.680><c> no</c><00:25:48.859><c> other</c><00:25:49.059><c> than</c><00:25:49.180><c> Jesus</c><00:25:49.539><c> Christ,</c><00:25:50.500><c> to</c><00:25:50.599><c> whom</c><00:25:50.900><c> the</c><00:25:51.160><c> throne</c><00:25:51.799><c> belongs</c><00:25:52.460><c> by</c>

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.640
right,<00:25:53.299><c> by</c><00:25:53.539><c> lineage,</c><00:25:54.859><c> by</c><00:25:55.079><c> descent</c><00:25:55.480><c> through</c><00:25:55.680><c> his</c><00:25:55.859><c> mother</c><00:25:56.119><c> Mary,</c>

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.759
So<00:26:04.599><c> let's</c><00:26:05.119><c> look</c><00:26:05.380><c> at,</c><00:26:06.500><c> I</c><00:26:06.720><c> think</c><00:26:06.920><c> I've</c><00:26:07.519><c> proved</c><00:26:07.819><c> hopefully</c><00:26:08.400><c> that</c>

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.220
these<00:26:09.039><c> things</c><00:26:09.299><c> that</c><00:26:10.420><c> were</c><00:26:10.680><c> overturned</c><00:26:11.380><c> at</c><00:26:11.640><c> that</c><00:26:11.859><c> time</c>

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:14.740
are<00:26:12.680><c> going</c><00:26:12.839><c> to</c><00:26:13.019><c> be</c><00:26:13.160><c> given</c><00:26:13.299><c> to</c><00:26:13.519><c> Christ</c><00:26:13.799><c> at</c><00:26:13.960><c> his</c><00:26:14.140><c> second</c><00:26:14.400><c> coming.</c>

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:16.160
So<00:26:15.279><c> what</c><00:26:15.440><c> were</c><00:26:15.519><c> these</c><00:26:15.759><c> things</c><00:26:15.900><c> again?</c>

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:22.000
You<00:26:16.339><c> have</c><00:26:16.599><c> the</c><00:26:16.980><c> diadem,</c><00:26:18.099><c> the</c><00:26:18.299><c> crown,</c><00:26:19.240><c> the</c><00:26:19.500><c> throne</c><00:26:19.880><c> and</c><00:26:20.359><c> the</c><00:26:20.539><c> kingdom</c><00:26:20.759><c> of</c><00:26:21.059><c> David.</c>

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.079
Well,<00:26:22.900><c> hence,</c><00:26:23.279><c> when</c><00:26:23.380><c> he</c><00:26:23.619><c> comes</c><00:26:24.019><c> whose</c><00:26:24.279><c> right</c><00:26:24.579><c> they</c><00:26:24.900><c> are,</c><00:26:25.819><c> he's</c>

00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.680
going<00:26:26.279><c> to</c><00:26:26.519><c> enter</c><00:26:26.960><c> into</c><00:26:27.579><c> their</c><00:26:27.819><c> possession</c><00:26:28.400><c> in</c><00:26:28.980><c> a</c><00:26:29.059><c> real</c><00:26:29.359><c> sense,</c>

00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:34.359
in<00:26:30.099><c> as</c><00:26:30.380><c> real</c><00:26:30.660><c> a</c><00:26:30.819><c> sense</c><00:26:30.980><c> as</c><00:26:31.140><c> they</c><00:26:31.319><c> were</c><00:26:31.519><c> held</c><00:26:31.700><c> by</c><00:26:31.960><c> Zedekiah.</c><00:26:33.299><c> Jesus</c><00:26:33.599><c> will</c><00:26:33.880><c> become</c><00:26:34.180><c> the</c>

00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:36.640

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:39.579
We<00:26:37.119><c> thus</c><00:26:37.319><c> perceive</c><00:26:37.779><c> a</c><00:26:38.000><c> striking</c><00:26:38.339><c> significance</c><00:26:39.000><c> in</c><00:26:39.240><c> the</c><00:26:39.380><c> words</c>

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.319
The<00:26:42.319><c> Lord</c><00:26:42.720><c> God</c><00:26:43.019><c> will</c><00:26:43.259><c> give</c><00:26:43.400><c> unto</c><00:26:43.640><c> Jesus</c><00:26:44.140><c> the</c><00:26:44.519><c> throne</c><00:26:44.900><c> of</c><00:26:45.160><c> his</c>

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.140
Now,<00:26:52.720><c> going</c><00:26:53.019><c> further</c><00:26:53.440><c> in</c><00:26:53.579><c> New</c><00:26:53.779><c> Testament,</c><00:26:54.500><c> we</c><00:26:54.660><c> come</c><00:26:54.920><c> to</c><00:26:55.079><c> the</c>

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:31.460
There's<00:27:27.519><c> some</c><00:27:27.759><c> thinking</c><00:27:28.099><c> that</c><00:27:28.279><c> perhaps</c><00:27:28.700><c> these</c><00:27:28.940><c> were</c><00:27:29.420><c> leftover</c><00:27:30.000><c> wise</c><00:27:30.339><c> men</c><00:27:30.539><c> who</c><00:27:30.660><c> had</c><00:27:30.799><c> been</c><00:27:30.960><c> trained</c><00:27:31.220><c> by</c>

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:05.259

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.900
