Because<00:16:46.039><c> we</c><00:16:46.200><c> know,</c><00:16:46.559><c> don't</c><00:16:46.639><c> we,</c><00:16:46.679><c> from</c><00:16:47.299><c> the</c><00:16:47.659><c> Gospel</c><00:16:48.019><c> record,</c><00:16:48.460><c> that</c><00:16:48.580><c> as</c>

you<00:16:48.860><c> approach</c><00:16:49.240><c> John,</c><00:16:49.720><c> you</c><00:16:49.860><c> have</c><00:16:50.139><c> to</c><00:16:50.399><c> confess</c><00:16:50.740><c> your</c><00:16:51.080><c> sins.</c>

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.379
That<00:16:54.179><c> Christ</c><00:16:54.559><c> had</c><00:16:54.820><c> no</c><00:16:55.220><c> sins</c><00:16:55.580><c> to</c><00:16:55.919><c> confess.</c>

00:16:56.379 --> 00:17:02.100
So<00:16:57.259><c> why</c><00:16:58.679><c> did</c><00:16:58.980><c> he</c><00:17:00.259><c> become</c><00:17:00.899><c> baptized?</c>

00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:05.960

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.759
He<00:17:09.259><c> was</c><00:17:09.579><c> associating</c><00:17:10.059><c> himself</c><00:17:10.440><c> with</c><00:17:10.660><c> the</c><00:17:10.859><c> nature</c><00:17:11.200><c> that</c><00:17:11.480><c> men</c>

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:21.940
And<00:17:16.720><c> he</c><00:17:16.839><c> was</c><00:17:17.140><c> baptized</c><00:17:17.680><c> to</c><00:17:17.940><c> fulfill</c><00:17:19.279><c> all</c><00:17:20.500><c> righteousness.</c>

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:26.299
In<00:17:23.339><c> that</c><00:17:23.599><c> extraordinary</c><00:17:24.480><c> event</c><00:17:24.960><c> when</c><00:17:25.200><c> the</c><00:17:25.480><c> Spirit</c><00:17:25.680><c> ascended</c>

the<00:17:32.859><c> declaration</c><00:17:33.359><c> was</c><00:17:33.680><c> simple,</c><00:17:35.500><c> all</c><00:17:35.779><c> flesh</c><00:17:36.079><c> is</c><00:17:36.380><c> grass.</c>

00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.299
That's<00:17:38.539><c> why</c><00:17:38.720><c> the</c><00:17:38.839><c> Lord</c><00:17:39.000><c> Jesus</c><00:17:39.380><c> Christ</c><00:17:39.700><c> had</c><00:17:39.940><c> to</c><00:17:40.099><c> be</c><00:17:40.279><c> baptized,</c>

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:49.420
Because<00:17:45.799><c> he</c><00:17:45.980><c> was</c><00:17:46.460><c> identifying</c><00:17:47.160><c> himself</c><00:17:47.819><c> as</c><00:17:48.579><c> essentially</c><00:17:48.960><c> one</c>

The<00:28:00.059><c> king,</c><00:28:00.859><c> it</c><00:28:01.039><c> was</c><00:28:01.279><c> his</c><00:28:01.559><c> responsibility</c><00:28:02.319><c> to</c><00:28:03.180><c> execute</c>

00:28:24.140 --> 00:28:31.180
But<00:28:24.779><c> Jesus</c><00:28:25.420><c> demonstrated</c><00:28:26.339><c> that</c><00:28:28.420><c> he</c><00:28:28.720><c> had</c><00:28:28.900><c> power</c><00:28:29.880><c> given</c><00:28:30.880><c> from</c>

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.160

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:55.259
It's<00:32:53.400><c> the</c><00:32:53.819><c> Greek</c><00:32:54.000><c> word</c><00:32:54.240><c> thronos.</c>

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:59.579
And<00:32:56.420><c> so</c><00:32:56.500><c> it's</c><00:32:56.660><c> a</c><00:32:56.779><c> fulfillment</c><00:32:57.440><c> of</c><00:32:57.799><c> Revelation</c><00:32:58.279><c> 3,</c><00:32:58.740><c> verse</c><00:32:59.000><c> 21.</c>

00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:03.359
Those<00:33:00.160><c> that</c><00:33:00.460><c> have</c><00:33:00.599><c> overcome</c><00:33:01.059><c> are</c><00:33:01.380><c> now</c><00:33:01.720><c> sitting</c><00:33:01.960><c> upon</c><00:33:02.480><c> the</c><00:33:02.839><c> thrones</c><00:33:03.099><c> of</c>

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:06.720
Christ,<00:33:03.799><c> or</c><00:33:03.960><c> as</c><00:33:04.079><c> Psalm</c><00:33:04.200><c> says,</c><00:33:04.740><c> the</c><00:33:04.839><c> thrones</c><00:33:05.240><c> of</c><00:33:05.500><c> judgment.</c>

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:12.859
Judging<00:33:10.880><c> over</c><00:33:11.519><c> the</c><00:33:11.740><c> nations.</c>

00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:19.119
But<00:33:14.980><c> we'll</c><00:33:15.220><c> also</c><00:33:16.000><c> see</c><00:33:16.400><c> that</c><00:33:17.019><c> they're</c><00:33:17.460><c> in</c><00:33:17.640><c> white</c><00:33:17.940><c> raiment,</c><00:33:18.839><c> the</c>

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:22.779

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:26.980
So<00:33:23.740><c> they</c><00:33:24.359><c> are</c><00:33:24.759><c> arrayed</c><00:33:25.220><c> in</c><00:33:25.400><c> their</c><00:33:25.940><c> priestly</c><00:33:26.440><c> garments.</c>

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.180
And<00:33:27.599><c> here</c><00:33:27.759><c> we</c><00:33:27.980><c> see</c><00:33:28.180><c> a</c><00:33:28.500><c> new</c><00:33:29.160><c> priestly</c><00:33:29.599><c> community.</c>

00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:31.900
This<00:33:30.480><c> is</c><00:33:30.740><c> the</c><00:33:30.859><c> kingdom</c><00:33:31.099><c> of</c><00:33:31.440><c> priests.</c>

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:35.480
This<00:33:32.559><c> is</c><00:33:32.799><c> the</c><00:33:33.200><c> priest</c><00:33:33.539><c> after</c><00:33:34.140><c> the</c><00:33:34.539><c> order</c><00:33:34.799><c> of</c><00:33:35.039><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.480
This<00:33:35.839><c> is</c><00:33:36.000><c> a</c><00:33:36.079><c> wonderful</c><00:33:36.539><c> vision.</c>

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.480
But<00:33:37.859><c> it's</c><00:33:38.059><c> kings</c><00:33:38.319><c> as</c><00:33:38.579><c> well</c><00:33:38.779><c> because</c><00:33:39.079><c> upon</c><00:33:39.319><c> their</c><00:33:39.599><c> heads</c><00:33:40.019><c> they</c>

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:42.339
have<00:33:40.740><c> crowns.</c>

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:45.299
This<00:33:43.140><c> is</c><00:33:43.299><c> no</c><00:33:43.519><c> Levitical</c><00:33:44.140><c> priest.</c>

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.880
This<00:33:45.940><c> is</c><00:33:46.180><c> the</c><00:33:46.359><c> kingdom</c><00:33:46.720><c> priest.</c>

00:33:50.339 --> 00:33:54.059
And<00:33:50.900><c> the</c><00:33:51.140><c> crown</c><00:33:51.420><c> here</c><00:33:52.420><c> are</c><00:33:52.940><c> crowns</c><00:33:53.579><c> of</c><00:33:53.759><c> gold.</c>

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:57.720
And<00:33:54.220><c> as</c><00:33:54.359><c> we</c><00:33:54.480><c> know,</c><00:33:54.740><c> gold</c><00:33:55.240><c> is</c><00:33:55.920><c> the</c><00:33:56.099><c> color</c><00:33:56.539><c> of</c><00:33:57.180><c> tried</c><00:33:57.339><c> faith.</c>

00:33:57.779 --> 00:34:02.160
This<00:33:57.960><c> is</c><00:33:58.160><c> not</c><00:33:59.299><c> the</c><00:33:59.839><c> coronal</c><00:34:00.140><c> wreath</c><00:34:00.559><c> that</c><00:34:00.900><c> withers</c><00:34:01.180><c> away.</c>

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:07.119
This<00:34:03.740><c> is</c><00:34:04.000><c> a</c><00:34:04.319><c> victory</c><00:34:04.759><c> that</c><00:34:05.039><c> will</c><00:34:05.279><c> last</c><00:34:05.579><c> forevermore.</c>

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:10.820
But<00:34:09.679><c> why</c><00:34:09.980><c> twenty</c><00:34:10.340><c>-four</c><00:34:10.519><c> elders?</c>

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:12.320
And<00:34:11.059><c> I'm</c><00:34:11.099><c> sure</c><00:34:11.260><c> most</c><00:34:11.519><c> of</c><00:34:11.639><c> us</c><00:34:11.780><c> know</c><00:34:12.039><c> this.</c>

But<00:34:12.739><c> the</c><00:34:13.199><c> important</c><00:34:13.380><c> point</c><00:34:13.679><c> here,</c><00:34:15.719><c> as</c><00:34:16.179><c> was</c><00:34:16.440><c> said</c><00:34:16.599><c> in</c><00:34:16.760><c> Acts</c>
