12:21
If you go there, Psalm 102
12:27
Back up to, we'll start in verse 18
12:33
And then it'll lead us there We'll kind of follow along, see what the Psalm is saying Do you want to read that,
12:40
Robert? I've been talking a while Starting in verse 18 I don't want to cut you out Oh, that's all good I like hearing from you, bud
12:47
Starting in verse 18? Yeah This will be written for the generation to come
12:52
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord For He looked down from His holy height
12:59
From heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth To hear the groaning of the prisoner To set free those who were doomed to death
13:07
That men may tell of the name of the Lord in Zion And His praise in Jerusalem When the peoples are gathered together
13:15
In the kingdoms to serve the Lord He has weakened my strength in the way
13:20
He has shortened my days I say, oh my God Do not take me away in the midst of my days
13:28
Your years are throughout all generations Of old you founded the earth
13:33
And the heavens are the work of your hands Even they will perish, but you endure
13:40
And all of them will wear out like a garment Like clothing, you will change them
13:45
And they will be changed But you are the same And your years will not come to an end
13:50
The children of your servants will continue And their descendants will be established before you
13:58
It's amazing Because what is being said here is
14:04
The Christ that will come There's a generation that's going to see this happen
14:12
And the generation that's going to see this happen Is going to be the one who sees the fulfillment
14:21
Of Christ coming to the earth And it's going to happen so that God receives glory
14:31
So that He's worshipped He receives His just due
14:38
And verse 19 For He looked down from His holy height from heaven
14:43
The Lord gazed upon the earth You hear the groaning of the prisoner To set free those who are doomed to death
14:51
Which of the angels did that? Which of the angels was in the heaven and looked down And saw you and me in the future
15:00
A generation to come And said those folks are doomed to die
15:07
We haven't even been born yet Not even conceived yet Was it
15:13
Gabriel? Michael? One of the other ones,
15:18
I don't know their name There's lots of angels there Which one of them looked there and said
15:25
I've got to do something Or I'm going to do something It's not like he was reacting He said
15:30
I'm going to do something Not only do you have that perspective of the angels
15:35
None of the angels did this But the other perspective that you have here in this passage Who is he talking about here?
15:44
Who's the recipient of this? Who's the groaning prisoner who was doomed to death?
15:55
I'm the recipient of this grace Right, yep
16:01
And he tries to put it in terms that Finite little pea bearing creatures like us can understand
16:10
Yeah What is more sure We'll put it this way
16:17
Up here at my house I have Chickens, turkeys
16:23
A barn I've got a little pond out back I've got some land
16:30
There is Predators Predators who try to eat all of my chickens and birds
16:38
But there's I'm trying to think of A way
16:44
Realistically where I would see Like Half of my yard in the mountain
16:52
Behind us just Gone I can see
16:58
All the birds that we've had And we're down to Seven at this point
17:06
They came and went But the mountain back here has stood
17:11
The pond's been there since it was dug The springs over here on this side Have been flowing for,
17:17
I don't know Probably forever because it just Will not let my yard dry out And yet Christ is more sure
17:31
Than the mountains that have Been, than the mountain out back Has been standing there since the beginning of time
17:38
It's like one of my chickens Who was here for a year and gone Who got ate up by a fox or a weasel
17:48
So And since you're talking about nature The reason that the promises are sure
17:54
Is because he's sure The surety The surety and trust in him
18:01
Puts the surety of his promises Like you were talking about nature We're promised that After the flood
18:09
There's not going to cease to be seasons Okay We can trust the surety of that promise
18:15
Because of the surety of the Lord Right Right, because He's the one that caused it all
18:23
To spin up He's the one that caused it all to be And so we can take it to the bank
18:29
That more sure than the things That he's created exist More sure than The wood in your desk
18:37
Or the The paper in your book More sure than that is
18:43
Real and exist Christ is going to do what He said he's going to do
18:49
He laid the foundations He will remain, they will perish He will stand forever
18:55
And Same goes for his promises Which are Wonderful Great promises
19:06
You know we left ourselves With like Twelve minutes
19:11
To talk about one of the most quoted Psalms And all of scripture
19:18
So why don't you Go back to Hebrews and read Verse 13 and 14 We'll see how little justice we can do
19:27
To that passage in twelve minutes I want to cut it down Just a few more minutes too
19:32
Because I wanted to make this comment about The bookends of what we just read
19:37
Verse 18 Speaks of generations And then verse 28 speaks of Generations or the children
19:45
Of your servants will continue And your descendants will be established Before you I know that you and I Both think of our children
19:54
And I know our parents think of us And our grandparents thought of us Any Christian parents think about their
20:01
Children and grandchildren And you have concerns for them And we
20:07
We should Lead them to the Lord we should pray for their Souls but we can have
20:13
The assurance that if They're in Him Because of the surety
20:19
Of the Lord Our descendants Will be established and they will be before Him We can have that Confidence in that promise
20:30
And so of all the things That we can worry about We don't have to worry about that They will be
20:39
Secure in His hands If they Are led to the Lord and they're found in Him Right We can trust 100 % that the
20:48
Lord Who created heaven And earth will do what's right When it comes to our children
20:54
Amen Alright back to Hebrews Hebrews 13 and 14 But to Which of the angels
21:03
Has he ever said sit at my right hand Until I make your Enemies a footstool for your feet
21:10
Are they not all None of them I was answering that rhetorical question
21:17
And they not all Are they not all ministering spirits Sent out to render service for the sake
21:24
Of those who will inherit salvation I know Where this is a quotation from Yeah this is a quotation from Psalm 110 the first verse
21:34
Which says The Lord says to My Lord Sit at my right hand until I make
21:42
Your enemies a footstool for your feet Go I'm going to go on with the
21:47
Psalm The Lord will stretch Forth your strong scepter from Zion Saying rule in the midst of your
21:54
Enemies your people Will volunteer freely in the day Of power or in Your day of power or in the day
22:02
Of your power and holy Array from the womb of the Dawn your youth
22:08
Are to you as the do The Lord has sworn And will not change his
22:14
Mind you are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek The Lord is at your right hand
22:22
He will shatter kings In the day of his wrath He will judge among the nations
22:27
He will fill them with corpses He will shatter the chief Men over a broad country
22:34
He will drink from the Brook by the wayside Therefore He will lift up his head
22:43
Now that is Amazing The Lord said to my Lord Sit at my right hand until I make
22:51
Your enemies a footstool for your feet To which of the angels did God ever say that he's
22:56
Going to shatter the kings in the day Of his wrath. He didn't say That for Michael's sake
23:02
Or Gabriel's sake. He didn't Say he was going to fill the land with the corpses
23:08
Of those who were rebelling against Him. Not the angels He did not say he was going
23:16
To judge the nations for the purpose of The angels But what He did say is that he's going
23:23
To set all of his enemies there Until they're made a footstool For his feet In contrast it says
23:30
Are they not all ministering spirits Sent out to serve for the sake Of those who are to inherit salvation
23:38
That is The contrast Here you have
23:44
Christ who Has all of history working Towards his end because that is
23:50
The decree of God All of his enemies are being made a footstool For his feet and what are the angels doing
23:56
The angels are working to make sure That that happens at the direction Of God in heaven
24:03
So who Are we going to trust The message of angels which was sure and reliable Or The message of Christ and the answer
24:12
Is both But you shouldn't neglect The message of Christ Absolutely And this passage
24:22
Here goes back to the Boundaries you know God's operating God's functioning in this world
24:27
What is he doing this is what he's doing And like you said this is Psalm 110 is
24:34
The most quoted Is that accurate the most quoted In the
24:40
New Testament We got Matthew 22 Mark 12 Luke 20 Acts 2
24:46
Matthew 26 Ephesians 1 Colossians 3 Hebrews 8 10
24:52
And 12 1st Corinthians 15 Ephesians 1 That was just that's just the
25:00
First line you go Into the second line and you've got Let's see
25:08
I may have misspoke Yeah that's for the first verse The first verse is quoted
25:14
In all of those Which is why I said We're not going to be able to do justice to how
25:20
That verse was used Because if you really really want to Study how a
25:26
Verse should be interpreted You would need to look at How does the New Testament Interpret the verse that is
25:34
Quoted more In the New Testament than anywhere else Or than any other verse
25:41
So if we were to And it may be Beneficial to do this at some point
25:48
To like On our next episode I don't know To actually go through And look at all of the references
25:56
That Quote Psalm 110 And see what They're saying about this verse
26:02
And then take that Understanding and see how It's used specifically in Hebrews It'll give us a more full
26:10
Orbed understanding of what The Holy Spirit is revealing to us When he's saying
26:16
It's not the angels It's the one that I said Here sit at my right hand until I make your enemies
26:22
A footstool for your feet I think that would be really beneficial Because yes there are so many
26:28
Ways that what How God is doing things is Mysterious because he has
26:33
Probably more than one Trillion Operations functioning and happening
26:39
At one time to get That's generous To get to where he's going
26:47
With so many With the universe being So big and so many people being on this earth
26:53
There's so many things going on So many things that we don't understand Behind the scenes that we don't see And God's in control and in charge
27:00
And sovereign over all of it But what we can know From this passage is
27:06
We know that this is happening In the kingdom of Christ That enemies are
27:12
Being put under his feet And Angels are ministering
27:18
Spirits sent out to render service For the sake of those who are going to Inherit salvation
27:24
We know at least And looking at all those passages Would help us to understand how that Operation is happening
27:32
In more detail. I think that would be very beneficial But what we do know at least Is You've got these
27:39
Two things happening. You've got these two Categories. You've got those Who are
27:46
Being put under his feet as a Footstool or you've got those Who are inheriting salvation
27:53
Right And to bring it The whole passage Back Together.
28:01
Because we're coming To the end of the first Chapter of Hebrews. So what is it Saying all together when
28:07
It goes from the very beginning All the way through this At various times
28:14
In many ways God has spoken To our fathers By To the fathers
28:21
Through the prophets. But in these Last days he's spoken to us through His son. And then it tells
28:28
Us that the son is the imprint Of his nature. The exact Representation of him
28:34
Is the exact Imprint of his nature. The radiance Of his glory It also
28:42
Says that he Made all things Upholds all things by the word of his power
28:47
Made the purification for sins and sat down At the right hand of the father in heaven So what he's
28:54
Saying is that You have been given An incredible Word from the
29:01
Lord For your salvation And that word of the Lord Was the same word that those
29:07
Ministering spirits, those Angels from before were ministering To your fathers.
29:13
But now you've Been given a more full Word You've been given basically
29:19
The whole story. And here's The one coming who was Relaying that message to you before The angels
29:28
And they were relaying the message of the one Who has now come and made the purification For sins forever
29:33
And that's the one who's gonna come in Judgment and he's gonna come with healing And salvation in his wings
29:39
And those angels that spoke to you back in When they spoke to Moses And the prophets and through all of those
29:46
Those angels are coming with Him to do his bidding to Ensure that those who believe
29:51
Will absolutely inherit Salvation. So What he's saying is that the whole
29:58
Of the created order Is working together to fulfill God's purposes
30:04
On this earth. And those purposes Are to bring himself glory Through meting out justice on those
30:10
Who will not repent and believe And by bringing salvation Through the message
30:16
Of the gospel of Christ's death Burial and resurrection And now his putting down Of his enemies and his
30:23
Saving of the people for himself And it's just incredible The way that it puts it all together
30:31
Because it really is. Here is the Whole of scripture and all of Human history laid out before you
30:38
And all of it points to one reality And that is that Christ is King and that we need
30:44
Salvation from our sins Or we are in deep, deep Trouble. And we find
30:50
That salvation in Jesus Christ And it's as sure As the mountain is behind my house
30:56
Even more so because that thing may burn up One day. That's right, that's right So much of what you said
31:02
And This could happen with so many passages in scripture It just so happens that Lord willing
31:09
I'm going to be preaching on Matthew chapter 17 and the The boundless transfiguration
31:14
And so Those things are coming To mind as I'm hearing you speak
31:20
About the You first Started talking about Hebrews 1
31:26
He spoke long ago To the prophets Or to the fathers
31:32
And to the prophets in many ways In the last days he spoke to his son You started there and you talk about How sure this
31:40
Salvation is, how sure this promise Is and you talk about the mountain behind you And Everything I'm reflecting so much on what
31:50
I'm Learning from the mountain of transfiguration And the parallels that I'm Learning there with what we're talking about tonight
31:56
And it reminded me of Second Peter because We talked about how Peter was there
32:02
And then he recounts That time there And this is what he says in second
32:07
Peter chapter 1 Starting in verse 16 For we did not follow Cleverly devised tales
32:14
When we made Known to you the power And coming of our
32:19
Lord Jesus Christ but we were eyewitnesses Of his majesty For when he received honor and glory
32:26
From God the Father Such an utterance as this Was made to him By the majesty of glory
32:33
This is my beloved son That's who we've been talking about With whom
32:39
I'm well pleased and then the Account of Matthew Says God told them
32:45
This is my son listen to him And that goes along With he is now the
32:51
Word that we listen to He spoke long ago But now he speaks to his son
32:57
Listen to him and we ourselves Verse 18 heard this Utterance made from heaven
33:03
When we were with him on the Holy mountain Yep Verse 19 so we have a prophetic
33:11
Word made More sure Yep Yep wow
33:19
Beautiful Good stuff Absolutely so as Dan said come
33:27
To Christ there is No more sure Place to run
33:33
But With all the all the things in the world All the turmoil that you face in your personal
33:39
Life all the negative things That come across your screen On tv there
33:45
Are good things happening If this is how God is functioning in the world
33:52
Enemies are Being and will continue To be defeated
33:57
And made a footstool He he will prop his Feet up on his enemies until They are no more the last enemy
34:05
Is going to be dead And there are people Who are inheriting
34:11
Salvation and the nations Will run to him Jesus Jesus is going to Save the his creation
34:20
And it's a glorious thing and So as dan was was Pleading with you
34:28
Hold on to that Short promise come To jesus tonight let me let
34:33
Me pray for us father we thank You for this time that we've Had in your word thank you

35:06
Isn't elijah Supposed to come and Quoting malachi Before The great and terrible day of the lord

35:28
Of men but He promised them that he would be resurrected And when he was
35:34
