The miraculous birth of Jesus Christ is a testament to the power of prophecy and the fulfillment of scripture. The story of the virgin birth, as told in the book of Isaiah, is a sign of the miraculous and the divine. The prophecies of the Bible, including those made 4,000 years before they were fulfilled, demonstrate the mathematical odds of zero that they can happen, making them a true science. The faith of believers is rooted in the truth of scripture and the power of prophecy.

and this indeed is the voice of the christian resistance and my highly esteemed co-host is none other than kenny good evening pastor hey esteemed how are you highly esteemed huh yeah all righty i don't think i've ever been called that before well yes stick around where you're going places here going places here you know you're on the rise we uh the title of this message is it was seven centuries before christmas and we're gonna get we're gonna start tonight in isaiah chapter seven isaiah chapter seven verses 10 through 14 moreover the lord spake unto me unto a has saying ask thee a sign of thee of the lord thy god ask it either in depth or in height or above and he has said i will not ask neither will i tempt the lord and he said here you now oh house of david it is a small thing for you to weary men but will you weary god also therefore the lord himself will shall give you a sign behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name emmanuel now here's the story god has told uh here a has that his friends who he has considered to be his friends were going to well they were going to try to take him down and replace him and they were going to replace him and put another king here in his place uh the son of tabiel and uh so he he sends isaiah over to tell this a hat and a has is having a hard time believing these guys would do that okay and so uh he he says in verse nine and the head of it he free him is samaria and the head of samaria is rema son and if you will not believe surely he shall not be established in other words so the lord is telling him okay isaiah go tell him uh if he if he's having a hard time believing you tell him to ask of me a sign anything don't whatever the sign is there's you know nothing nothing's off the table i can do anything so he goes he tells a has well go ahead and ask the asylum the lord thy god ask it either in depth or in height or both and a has says and a has says i will not ask and neither will i tempt the lord so i have the same way if this is this is the lord i don't want to say anything what if i say something that angers him well what if i ask him something that that he doesn't you know i don't want to anger god no not at all right so he he says i'm not gonna do it so isaiah says oh my gosh it's it's one thing for you it's one thing uh for you to weary men he says but are you gonna weary god too okay and so he says all right well god god is gonna send you a sign anyhow not just for you it's gonna be a sign for all and here uh he says therefore the lord shall give you a sign behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name emmanuel and so here uh that means emmanuel means god with us that god with us okay so here now the the critics the liberals out there you know who are always trying to try to disprove the bible and i'm talking about your theologians that are uh you know they're they're liberal theologians saying that the book of daniel is really uh really not true yeah these are people who are supposed to be studying this right okay and this is where they come up with all these new age bibles out there that pervert the word of god and so they're they're saying here that well you see that word virgin there in the hebrew is alma well uh alma is used six times in the bible and and every time uh that word uses for a young a woman unmarried woman now the other thing about that is that all six times these young unmarried women were virgins and so what is the implication there well if i know that one thing is when the bible scholars when they take that they translated that into the greek it's uh parathimos parthimos parthimos which in every single case means virgin and here so um this is what they're doing it's nothing but a device to avoid the miracle of christ virgin birth and so here now so then they had to come up with something else and they said well you know this is the the following chapter verse eight explains that okay and they go and they tell you and they said here uh if you go over and you read that and starting in verse three and i went into the prophetess and she conceived now this is isaiah and he's talking about uh going into his wife and she bare a son then said the lord to me call his name mah hershala hashbaz for before the child shall have knowledge to cry my father and my mother the riches of damascus and the spoil of samaria shall be taken away before the king of syria but we we saw that just happened recently didn't we yeah with with asad huh yeah anyhow history repeats itself doesn't it certainly does now here's the problem so they're saying hey look that's who it's referring to but there's a problem with that remember what the word emmanuel means with god god with us right god with us but do you know what the word mahara mahir shall hall hashbaz mean absolutely no clue well first of all that's the longest name and the longest word in the bible okay but it means a speedy pray a speedy pray now let me ask you this ken being a bible scholar yourself is god with us and a speedy pray are they one of the same no i don't think so okay so now here's what we get into get into the deep deep woods right now ken this this is what he's given you this sign this sign is a miraculous sign right so if that word just meant young women young woman is it possible that to have young women get pregnant out of wedlock absolutely nowadays i mean it happens all the time now yeah so nowadays about half of the half of the women they get pregnant aren't even married are they no and so here uh that wouldn't really be much of a mirror no not really not at all all right so all right now we go over to isaiah chapter 9 and we read for unto us the child is born unto us the son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders and the name shall be called the wonderful consular the mighty god the everlasting father the prince of peace of the increase of his government and his peace there should be no end upon the throne of david and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever the zeal of the lord of hosts will perform this now this is very interesting okay uh who do you think that's talking about uh i would think that's talking about jesus yeah you'd be right now was the roman government and was the sent hindering upon his shoulders no oh yeah they were being the government was persecuting him oh okay okay that's what it means to be upon your shoulders to be persecuting you and so here we saw that but now how would that apply to us today see christ is the head of the church and the church is what the body of christ yeah we're the church aren't we yeah we are yeah and so the body of christ here worldwide are governments worldwide persecuting christians today yes unfortunately right so they're upon his shoulders today now and we're seeing you know north korea really bad saudi arabia uh of course china is is very very bad where it comes to that india a lot of places in india there's a lot of persecution of christians and to our north canada now is becoming more and more here in america we've seen what's happened to the pro-lifers who are all christians the home schoolers that are christians those people that have confronted the corrupt school boards that are all christians and now the the let the latest two the two largest fines put against any colleges universities were were put against uh liberty baptist and the largest christian school in the country and that's grand canyon university those are the two by far the two largest fines against them for not being woke they find them for not being woke yeah that's absurd yeah well they do it to the irs that this program or that program biden biden said go get them uh biden told his his doj infiltrate the churches send your people inside the churches which they did okay and so so here we're seeing that today all over the world that's happening but now here's what's coming so here he goes he says when twice a child is born a son is given the government shall be up on his shoulder and his name shall be called wonderful consular wonderful constant now this is interesting here and i'll tell you why okay uh if we go over to matthew chat no it's john the gospel john chapter seven and the gospel in john chapter seven started with verse 45 then came the officers to the chief priests and the pharisees this is the san hindrance and uh and they said unto them why have you not brought him because see the san hindrance sent him out he said go bring this jesus here go bring him here and and and so now they said why haven't you brought him then the officers answered and said never never has there been a man that speaks like this man then answered them the pharisees are you also deceived have any of the rulers of the pharisees believed in him believed in him but those people who knoweth not the law are cursed and nicodemus said unto them he came to to jesus by night being one of them now and so here now uh the people of that they say this man there's nobody that speaks like this man because he speaks with extreme knowledge and absolute authority he knows exactly he you know there's no doubt in what he's saying and complete truth yes and so here now then then he says uh the mighty god well we know if we go over to uh matthew chapter 28 and read verse 18 and jesus came and spake unto them saying all power is given to me in heaven and on earth all power he's the mighty god and then he calls him and he says uh the everlasting father well back and back to the gospel of john chapter 10 jesus answer that too in verse uh 29 my father which gave them to me is greater than all no man is able to pluck them out of my father's hand i and my father are one remember then when philip asked jesus when when are we going to see the father he said when you've seen me and you've seen the father he says in in colossians that uh you find that god had bodily in the presence of christ the god had bodily in other words when you saw jesus you were looking at the father son and the holy ghost all all in one and so then he goes on to say um he goes on to say the the prince of peace and of course speaking of colossians you go over to colossians and you ask that okay uh for it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell and having made peace through the blood of his cross by him to reconcile all things unto himself by him i say whether they be things in earth or things in heaven and so so all of those things we've seen all those prophecies were fulfilled and then he goes on to say uh of the increase of his government and and the peace there should be no end upon the throne of david and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever uh the zeal of the lord of hosts will perform this now this is mentioned uh several times in scripture um i'm trying thinking about g i'm trying to remember how many times that was mentioned i know in daniel 244 i know it's the same thing here in isaiah 37 but numerous times in every case where it says the zeal of the lord of hosts will perform this um do you know what the implications of that is um not really no in every case it means that nobody else could do that there was no other way it could be performed only god only god could do it nobody else could do it okay and so here i want to go over now to to jeremiah chapter 31 and and then uh jeremiah 31 i passed it up you know i'm gonna have to wet my whistle hold on one second here right jeremiah 31 verse 20 set the up way marks make the high heaps set thine heart toward the highway even the way which thou wentest to turn again o virgin of israel turn again to thy cities now there's there's an implication here okay uh it's like a type and a shadow now the next verse says this how long wilt thou go about oh thou backsliding daughter for the lord has created a new thing in the earth a woman shall compass a man that word compass there in hebrew the same word as we use is encompass and encompass means that a woman that a man is going to be composed is going to be completely uh encased in a woman in other words a man is going to be in the womb of a woman okay when when do you think that happened um would jesus when jesus was born well i mean he he was just a little babe wasn't he i mean he wouldn't fully grown well i mean i guess as a baby yes but i mean it was still the lord jesus who was always there so in other words when it says a man that means someone who has was already a man now remember this was written some 700 years before the birth of christ so jeremiah and isaiah were contemporaries were contemporaries and so in other words he's saying look someone who's already been a man and if we go back about over 2 000 years prior to that to what jeremiah says we have well let me read you in genesis 18 verse one and two and three and the lord appeared unto him in the plains of memory and he set into the tent door in the heat of the day and he lifted up his eyes and looked in lo three men stood by him and when he saw them he ran to meet them from the tech door and bowed himself towards the ground and said my lord if now i have found favor in thy sight pass not away i pray thee from thy servant let a little water i pray you be fast and your and wash your feet and rest yourselves under the tree so here now the lord is appearing to abraham in the plains of memory and as a man in fact he's he's got two angels with him and they all appear as a man now the lord jesus several times in scripture appeared as a man long before he became the baby in the womb huh yeah we just read of one last week yeah so let us are you talking about me with mckill's a deck yeah yeah all right good good good example let's go now that memory's working a little bit yeah yeah you know i had a lot of questions on that about a lot of you know i didn't know that pastor i never knew that i was listening to you you know and so in fact today you get that a lot i got it today but it wasn't about anything we've read so far it's about what we're we're gonna read here uh tonight before the program's over and so in matthew chapter one starting with verse 18 we read now the birth of jesus christ was on this wise when as his mother mary was espoused to joseph before they came together she was found with child of the holy ghost now in that day to be espoused means to be engaged it's engaged but it's different than it is today you see in that day once you became engaged uh it was the same as being married okay uh with uh without consummating you know prior to the consummate meeting of the union and so here in other words in that day in order to to become unengaged you had to get a divorce you had to get a writing of divorce and not only that but for a woman to become be found with child before uh you know the husband had had consummated i mean the the man if he found out she was pregnant by somebody else he could he could ever stone yeah yeah that would that would be grounds for divorce at the very least yeah and so uh then joseph her husband being a just man and not willing to make her a public example was minded to put her away privately okay uh so in other words uh he wanted to do it uh just means upright he wanted to do it secretly not not brain why do you think he wanted to do it secretly um probably because he didn't want uh anyone asking questions or you know kind of looking down upon them you know judging her judging well that was it her and her family it would bring this disgrace to her family wouldn't it yeah and sometimes she could try to explain it all she wants but you know people aren't gonna believe her you know i i know a fellow who belonged to the catholic church his whole life and and this guy you know and and eddie was i knew eddie for a long time and eddie said well you know it was it was probably one of those rabbis i said what are you kidding me eddie you've gone to the catholic church your whole life and you're saying something like this and uh but uh wait you mean as the father of jesus yeah what yeah i said of you i can't believe this eddie that you would even say something like that to me but anyhow i mean i could i could maybe understand hearing that from a non-believer but someone who's gone to church their whole life and yeah regardless the denomination if if it's a christian believing in jesus that's kind of foundation here you know well you know the catholics teach that mary was the continual virgin okay i don't know what that means um that means that she stayed a virgin since she never uh had sexual relations with a man that she she continued as a virgin but of course we know that that wasn't the case no jesus had half brothers and sisters didn't he four brothers and at least two sisters yeah yeah but they don't teach that huh they they teach that that word their uh brothers is the word means cousins but it doesn't if you look the word up in the greek it means of the same womb of the same womb now if you're the same womb okay then then you're not a cousin you're a brother right yeah exactly yeah and so here uh he says but while he thought on these things behold the angel of the lord appeared unto him in a dream saying joseph thou son of david fear not to take unto the mary thy wife for that which is conceived in her is of the holy ghost now this is really a miraculous thing do you know why this is really a miraculous thing okay do you know who the angel of the lord is wouldn't that be jesus that's right that's right yeah so here the lord jesus is appearing to joseph in a dream and at the same time he's a babe in mary's womb and so we know that he is what he's omnipresent huh yep we're going to see another example of this here as we go through this right so here now let me ask you this let's just say you were joseph mm-hmm and this happened to you and the next morning you wake up and you say was that god or was i just dreaming i think you would know though i think you yeah i think you have to know like that's got it like you have dreams everyone has dreams crazy dreams sometimes that you can't make heads or tails of but something like this i i think you wake up knowing so you think god was god was in charge of this and god 100 has the capabilities to make sure you know how do we know that well he says that his words will always serve the purpose they will always complete whatever the his purpose of his words are they will be completed yeah okay okay and so that's what happened here and so here and she shall bring forth the son and now shall call his name jesus for he shall save his people from their sins now the hebrew word for jesus is yahushua yahushua and uh that means jehovah saves jehovah saves now the shorter version of that is yeshua yeshua that a lot of people referred to jews jesus as yeshua or joshua okay and that that word simply means salvation and so actually that they they mean the same thing you know yahushua and and uh yeshua mean both deal with salvation huh and so here he goes and we continue on now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the lord by the prophet saying behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they shall call his name emmanuel which is being interpreted god is with us we just read that in isaiah 7 14 huh yeah then joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the lord had bidden him and took unto him and took unto him his wife and he knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name jesus okay so here do you remember when jesus was was talking to the pharisees okay and uh the the pharisees were saying we are the sons of abraham okay you know in other words we we don't we're not illegitimate what do you think that they were making a reference to you think they knew that joseph wasn't his father uh well yeah because jesus told everybody he wasn't his father so i mean the lord jesus and so here it goes on to say then joseph being raised from the sleep did as the angel of the lord had bidden him and took it to him his wife and knew her not until she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name jesus so here um she was kept a virgin until after the birth of christ now uh what do you think some some of the sex of the seventh day admits believe oh i don't i don't know they believe that jesus was the youngest of the five boys not the oldest that doesn't make any sense well they believe that joseph was married prior to to marrying mary and maybe he was a widower okay okay and so but i guess that could make sense that way but i don't think that's not what's taught here there's absolutely no no genuine bible so they're trying to use that as a as an excuse to continue the virgin mary you know throughout her life that she always always was after yeah okay not only that but but uh they don't believe that they believe jesus is the son of god but not god the son uh the joe was witnesses the seven now one sect there's like three different sects that i know of the seventh-day admins one of them their belief is very close to to the bible to what we believe okay uh and they they do believe in the virgin birth okay uh the other two don't uh they don't they don't believe in fact not only do they not believe that jesus was god the son the creator god but they they actually believe if you worship on saturday not sunday you'll you go to hell if you don't worship on saturday and not sunday that you'll burn in hell okay either either way it just seems absurd and some of the mormons some of the mormons believe that uh christ the lord jesus and satan were literally brothers and you know they give you examples of isaac and ishmael and jacob uh or isaac and ishmael and jacob and he saw and and they referred to jesus and satan well with jesus and lucifer's brothers but uh but satan was an angel right he was a created being and so again uh this is heresy okay there's a lot of this false false teaching that has come crept in now when jesus was born in bethlehem of juda judea in the days of harold the king behold there came wiseman from the east to jerusalem i was there in bethlehem and they they today it's a good side city okay back then it was very very small okay the city of red and uh boy does that that city have a lot of history a lot of history here and so here now he goes on to say there came came wiseman there came wiseman from the east to jerusalem why do you think we say three wise men because no place in the bible does it say three wise men i don't know i i knew because there was three gifts and they figured because there was three gifts there was one okay now these were magi which were basically they came up there um from persia or what we would call iran today from that area there and uh they were very very very well they were experts in astronomy and astrology and very well versed in the old testament too okay and so here they came now let me ask you this do kings usually travel alone or do they have an entourage of guards and servants oh there's usually a big entourage right and and so here uh that's not mentioned but you know you get you always get the picture of these three these three travelers traveling together yeah traveling alone on their camels or yeah with their gifts now so here and jesus was born in bethlehem of judea in the days of harrod the king behold there came a wise man from the east to Jerusalem saying where is he that was born of the jews for we have seen his star in the east that are coming to worship him now when harrod heard the king had when harrod the king had heard these words he was troubled in all of Jerusalem and when he had gathered all the chief priests and the scribes of the prophets of the people to together he demanded of the them where christ should be born now listen to this harrod was a harodian he was a half breed jew but he had been placed as king of the jews by caesar and so here now harrod you know when he uh he demanded to know by his scribes where does the bible say where does god's word say that the king will be born yeah you want to know the prophecy yeah and but now but see harrod uh wanted to find out because he wanted to kill the king yep it was a threat to his power no but but now think about this if god had if this was the king going to be the king if god had anointed this what man in his right mind would go to war with god only only a complete fool okay if this guy was here today would he be a democrat you think yeah because uh he he'd probably be a she or a he she a zen whatever his pronoun would probably be this guy harrod he was so evil that he killed his three oldest sons and their mother he had them killed because he was afraid that they were going to have a conspiracy and overthrow his throne so he had them killed and uh well that's like a democrat i mean they love death don't they yep and so then and we uh and they said unto him in bethlehem of judaea for this is written by the prophet and bethlehem in the land of judah are not the least among the princes of judah for out of thee shall come a governor that shall rule my people you know who said that it was mica five two and also in revelations chapter two verse 27 now then harrod when he had privately called the wise men and quite of them diligently what time the star appeared and he sent them to bethlehem and said go and search diligently for the young child and when you have found him bring me word again that i may come and worship him also oh that's nice yeah he had maybe a different definition of worship you think yeah some nefarious uh intentions there and when they had heard the king they departed and lo the star which they saw in the east went before him till he came and stood over where the young child was you know there's there's times that i've often thought about if i could go back and live at any time in history there are two two places i would like to be one in the field of the shepherds the night that the angel of the lord announced the birth of the miss of the christ child but two right here with these guys now with these three magi no here you know the perception we have first of all nativity scenes you you cannot find a nativity scene that has an actual depiction of the time they always in all the nativity scenes you find the stable you find that the three magic and you find a baby a newborn baby well when these men showed up christ was already two years old and older oh wow okay and he wasn't unstable he was in his house he was in his house and so it's just like to like when the lord's table here at the lord's table you had you have all these people you have all these the disciples and the lord jesus with hair down pastor's shoulders they didn't have hair down pastor's shoulders um the their hair was in that day was about like yours and mine in fact had the lord jesus had what they call komea which means long hair or woman's hair do you think the apostle paul would have said doesn't nature itself even tell you that for a man to have long hair it's a shame unto him do you think he would have said that if jesus had hair down to his shoulder probably not no no but if you go into in europe if you go into the museums well right here too some in here where they have the the plaster bust you know of these guys that are they go that are several thousand years old you know uh of the caesars and even of the uh apostles none of them have shoulder looked here they all have hair like about like what we do today and so so it's hard to find but those are artists deceptions depictions and distortions not really truly understanding scripture huh yeah and so here and when they heard the king they departed and lo the star which they saw in the east went before them till he came and stood over where the young child was and when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy and when they were come into the house into the house he had his own house then own house them they saw the young child with mary his mother and fell down and worshipped him and when they had opened their treasures they presented him gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh so what do you think okay why do you think they brought those three things gold frankincense and myrrh are those uh kind of kingly gifts you know well gold was an indication of the royal reign his royal reign okay as king but not just a king as king of kings okay frankincense uh indicated his priestly intercession for them and myrrh was an indication of his coming death for them they used that what uh they wrapped you in myrrh and clothing and what is myrrh i always i always thought i always thought that was like some kind of oil it is oh okay so here as we go on it says here and being warned of god in a dream uh they should not turn to herrod they should depart unto their own country another way now you notice something here they're being warned of who of herrod weren't weren't warned of god oh it doesn't say an angel or doesn't say the angel of the lord it says being warned of god so it's it's not being specific of any one uh person of the of the trinity of the godhead it's it's the god himself in other words in a dream god had came to him and usually when it's when that that means that is the second person of the trinity because in the chain of command god the father always gives the orders god the son always carries him out and the holy ghost always provides the power and so he goes on and when they were departed behold the angel of the lord appeared to joseph in a dream saying arise now here you go you got the angel of the lord again arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into egypt and be thou there until i bring the word for herrod will seek the young child to destroy him so this is the lord jesus himself now so were they in they were in nazareth at this point then or no or still bethlehem well no they had come they were uh coming back uh well no this was going to egypt okay with that they were going to egypt but you said that jesus was too already and they didn't stay in a manger in bethlehem no uh no so they right now they were they were heading towards egypt and when they were departed behold the angel of the lord appeared to them in a dream saying arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into egypt and be thou there until i bring the word for herrod will seek the young child to destroy him okay and so here by this time this is before herrod puts the word out yeah before you go to bethlehem now bethlehem wasn't that big at that time there when it was it was small and there really wasn't that many young children at the time there okay and he wanted them all slaughtered yeah well the men all the the males yeah the little boys and when he arose he took the young child and the mother by night and departed into egypt and was there until the death of herrod that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the lord by the prophet saying out of egypt i have called my son that's hosea the prophet hosea 11 verse 1 if i remember right when then herrod when he saw that he was mocked at the wise men was exceedingly wrought and sent forth and slew all the children that were in bethlehem and all the coast thereof for two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men so by this time the lord jesus was two years old okay and probably a little older than two then was fulfilled that which was spoken of by jeremiah the prophet saying in rama there was a voice heard lamentation weeping and the great mourning rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they are not and so here now uh rachel was was she actually died there she rachel was jacob's was jacob's wife and she was his favorite wife okay and here uh she was born there and she died there in bethlehem just on the outskirts of bethlehem so you know everyone said she dies in bethlehem but again today it probably wouldn't be the outskirts it would probably be in in the city because the city is much bigger now than it was um back in those days okay and here rachel actually represented the mothers of all those babies that were slain by harrod but when uh harrod was dead behold now listen behold an angel of the lord appeared in a dream to to joseph and egypt so so that's different than the right of the lord right saying arise and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of israel for they are dead which sought the young child's life and he arose and took the young child and his mother and came into the land of israel and when he had heard that our choice did reign in juda now that was the son that harrod didn't kill and he was this guy was as evil as harrod but that was the son by a different wife figures okay uh and harrod was afraid to go there tither notwithstanding being warned of god in a dream he turned aside into the parts of galilee and he caught or and he came and dwelt in a city called nazareth that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets he shall be called a nazarene now here's where there's a lot of confusion uh people confuse nazarene with nazarite uh they're two different two different things okay and and people uh there are those out there that that try to teach that jesus was the nazarite now why do you think when jesus could not have been a nazarite right i'm not sure what the difference between the words are nazarites were priests they were priests they had a priest they had a nazarite one they could they could never touch anything that was unclean okay never touch anything that was dead uh did did jesus touch anything unclean and dead yes lazareth um lepers um pretty much anything and everything that's that's right okay now what else couldn't they do they they um were not allowed they could never partake of wine did jesus partake of wine yes he did the lord's table didn't he okay what else now there were three groups of individuals that had long hair the nazarite was one of them that had comea uh the others were the barbarians those were the german soldiers that the romans drafted into their army you know they brought in and the third were sodomites homosexuals okay those three had no and they couldn't uh now the nazarite could never cut their hair they weren't allowed to ever cut their hair who was one of those samson ah okay now did did samson violate those laws yeah and it was his downfall yeah how did he what did he touch he they weren't allowed to ever touch anything dead what did he touch it was dead i'm not sure i don't know the full story well he killed the lion okay and on the way back from his journey they the bees had made a a nest inside the lion and they made of honey and he reached inside and grabbed a handful of honey uh violation one two uh he was supposed to be respectful to his parents and obedient to his parents uh but um he wasn't he wasn't he took uh a non-Jewish woman uh for a wife and and um he was totally disobedient and didn't listen and then he ended up uh with Delilah yep and Delilah was uh like one of those women on the view maybe Delilah was oh she's a piece of work yeah she was a piece of work but from what i understand she was a physically very beautiful woman well then she couldn't be one of the ones on the view well that's true too you know legend has it she uh so yeah so he just about everything you could do wrong he did wrong yeah and so here but the point was that the lord jesus it was yeah he was an azerine but not an azerite yeah so it's just people trying to stir confusion they they always do that yep so anyhow we're at that point in the bible where uh that the program where we always tell folks the most important thing is you know all of this everything that we just said tonight who's is absolutely true is right out of the word of god is there any higher authority than what we just read from absolutely not okay so out there today in our judicial system you have these people these judges put under black robes and they think they're high authority the question is are they going to stand before god or will god stand before the supreme court oh they'll stand before god they're going to stem all of them out there okay now with over 1800 prophecies the vast majority have already been completed the vast majority and so here the mathematical odds are zero that they can happen okay zero and so you have to and so you have prophecies made 4 000 years before they were fulfilled exactly when exactly where exactly how just as scripture says so is math a true science um i i i guess i mean i always thought it was yeah math is a true science okay i mean you can you know one plus one equals two and you can check it by two minus one equals one you know did you ever hear of jerry lucas no he used to back in my day he was one of the top basketball players in the country okay and after he retired from basketball he wrote a book called theomatics okay and he spent his life working with universities uh calculating the odds of being able to fulfill scripture bible scripture the prophecies in other words that let's just say with men and all of his technology today we try to try to fill fulfill the the bible prophecies in scripture and it came out the odds were one with 132 zeros behind it that would be impossible okay yeah yeah and so whatever that number is i don't know i've heard i've heard a number of a googleplex but i'm not even sure what that is it might even be more than that yeah in other words it's impossible but but we got all things are possible huh yep and so it's possible that this program will end with about 45 seconds oh no that's about what we got yeah okay so then i guess we're coming to that time you did you did good tonight not too bad huh no man i'm telling you i don't like patting my own back but yeah it wasn't too bad yeah you're getting every week you're getting better and better well i got a good teacher yeah yeah well it's time to say good night all
