00:37

Just to kind of clear the air that I don't hoe that position any longer, but I Love listen listen to me.

00:45

00:55

I love it. I do Those that don't know I do Bible rebinding for a living.

01:02

01:10

Bibles and so that's what I do I Listen to stuff and a lot a great deal of what

01:17

I listen to Has to do with the prophetic has to do with eschatology

01:26

And so I love it I just love listening to every view Premial premial dispensationalism all meal post meal

02:47

Lord's Day I'm a pastor at a Reformed Baptist Church Covenant Reformed Baptist Church in Tullahoma, Tennessee.

02:56

It's coming Lord's Day. I'm going to be teaching And So I'm preaching through the book of Hebrews right now

03:05

But I've just come to a point where I have to go and lay some groundwork and to lay the groundwork

03:10

We're going to have to look at Matthew 24 dealing with What most people would call the fig tree generation, but even beyond that we're going to have to look at Daniel and so This week

03:29

I'm going to be taking a dive into Daniel chapter 9 And I hope that y 'all link to my church website or my church website or my church

03:40

YouTube channel like it And listen to this sermon that I'm going to be preaching and I'm going to be walking through for the next few weeks

03:50

Could be longer. I don't know But I want to give a heads up kind of like a little

03:59

I'll Touch on it a little bit this coming Lord's Day, but Daniel chapter 2 So Daniel chapter 2.

04:05

Listen, if you ain't got your ten full hats on get them on Daniel chapter 2 Daniel chapter 2 is

04:14

It's really the chapter when it comes to eschatology and when it comes to What you hold on On end times such as you know, are you a pre meal?

04:33

Are you an all meal or are you a post meal? So Daniel chapter 2 is going to be vital

04:41

To where you stand on the millennium So I don't have a Bible in front of me as you can see.

04:48

I'm In my vehicle. I'm driving to my son's preschool to pick him up.

04:54

I Just got done working all day. So I'm not going to be able to Read off text to you.

05:00

I don't really have a lot of time to do video So I have to get in where I fit in but Daniel chapter 2

05:09

Nebuchadnezzar has a dream And in this dream that he has he's looking for someone that can tell him what it is that he dream

05:17

He says if no one can tell me my dream Guess what? I'm gonna kill everybody. I'm gonna kill all the wise men all the people that think they know something

05:26

I'm killing them. He said not only are you to tell me what

05:31

I dream but you are to give me the interpretation of the dream So he sends out the decree

05:42

He's about to kill everybody Daniel finds out what's going on He asks permission to to pray with his with Shadrach Meshach and Abednego to figure out the dream to ask

05:52

God to give them an interpretation So God grants them the interpretation and he comes to King Nebuchadnezzar You know given all glory to God that Him as a man is he is not able to reveal to the king what he has dreamed but there's a

06:08

God in heaven who who can and has and he's given the the dream and the interpretation to Daniel to gift him

06:19

So he tells them that in his dream. He had a dream of an image and this image was

06:26

You know The head of the image was gold

06:32

The The chest and thigh. I mean the chest and arms. Excuse me.

06:38

The chest and arms were were silver the thighs

06:44

Were bronze and its legs of iron and its feet of iron mingled with clay and he tells him that that that he

06:59

Nebuchadnezzar is the head of gold Now that's vitally important because we know that not only does the head of gold represent

07:07

Nebuchadnezzar But it represents his kingdom the kingdom of Babylon. So the head of gold represents both

07:15

Nebuchadnezzar and his kingdom That's going to be key. Okay Well and after This kingdom the head of gold would come one

07:29

That would overthrow his kingdom and this would be the Mies and the Persians That would be the the chest and arms of silver and then you have

07:39

I have the dates Written down, but I don't have them in my head. So forgive me. Hallelujah, and then there's the the thighs of bronze which represents

07:51

Grisha Greece they they overthrew The Mies Persians, but then the fourth kingdom is the legs of iron and this fourth kingdom represents

08:08

Rome now whenever you get into the the eschatology discussion

08:15

This is where you want to put on some boxing gloves and try to knock each other out.

08:21

This is where the Where the ankles are and the ankles and the feet meet

08:29

Where the you have the iron the legs of iron, but then the feet are partly iron and partly clay the

08:38

Dispensationals will will put a gap Right there. So they'll say yes

08:45

There's no time gap in between the head of gold the chest of silver

08:52

The thighs of bronze and the legs of iron, but there is a time gap between The feet of iron mingled with clay and right now this time gap

09:08

It's a 2 ,000 year gap so far or greater than 2 ,000 years 2 ,400 something years

09:17

And so this gap will also feeds into Daniel chapter 9 Which we'll be dealing with this

09:25

Lord's Day at my church because in Daniel chapter 9, there's a gap which all prophecy all students of prophecy will know as The 70 weeks of Daniel they believe that the 69th week.

09:43

There's a gap and that we have not That we are not in the 70th week of Daniel well

09:53

So if the iron if the iron So the feet of this statue is partly iron partly clay so The partly iron has to be the same iron that's with the legs

10:08

So this iron that's in the feet is the same iron that's in the legs. Are you following me?

10:14

Do I need to slow it down? Okay, so that means that the in the feet the part that is partly iron is

10:22

Rome Okay, now I'm taking the view that there is no gap that There is no gap.

10:34

Now. The question is is what is the clay? What is the clay?

10:42

If the iron is Rome Then what is the clay that it is mixed with?

10:50

Well, I think scripture clearly answers this question Scripture clearly answers this question how?

11:00

Jeremiah Isaiah Even in Romans chapter 9 the the dreaded chapter, right?

11:09

for people to deal with exposition It's clear pointing to God you are the

11:21

Potter Yahweh God you are the Potter the

11:28

Jews We are the clay there's only so I believe the clay is a representation of Israel Jerusalem the

11:42

Jews and there's only one moment in time one period of time where iron was mingled with clay and this was during the

11:52

Roman peace This was during the time whenever The first century

12:00

Jerusalem now notice the next part of this Story of the statue. It says that there was a stone that's carved out by no human hand and it comes down and It hits the statue on the feet of iron mingled with clay

12:16

Are you following me that this stone that's carved out by no human hands comes down and hits

12:27

The statue part of the statue where the iron is mingled with clay

12:35

Jesus Christ had no earthly father born of a virgin the the

12:41

Holy Spirit Came upon Mary hovered over her she was conceived and bore a son

12:52

The stone was carved out by no human hands Jesus Christ is the stumbling stone that the builders rejected

12:58

He the church is built on the foundations of the Apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus being the cornerstone

13:10

Jesus Christ is the stone, but just like Nebuchadnezzar was a a

13:18

Representation of the gold But also the kingdom was a representation of the gold this stone

13:26

That came in the time When iron was mingled with clay first century

13:31

Jerusalem Jesus Christ came was incarnated the the hypostatic

13:39

Union the incarnation During the time where the iron was mingled with clay and this stone is not only a representation of Jesus Christ But it is the foundation of the church the kingdom of God and it says

13:59

Like if you keep reading this chapter, please do it says that this stone grows

14:05

Into a mountain and it covers the whole earth It goes on to say that this kingdom will never end

14:18

So this stone carved out by no human hands Hits the statue this would have been first century

14:25

Jerusalem. I believe it had been about 3 BC It hits the statue and that stone when it hits the earth hits the statue it grows on the earth as a mountain that covers the whole earth now this is where the millennial comes in So if you believe in a future millennial of Jesus raining on the earth for 1 ,000 years

14:54

Then that stone has not yet Touched the earth that stone has not yet entered and Smite the statue on the feet and has grown into a mountain that covers the whole earth if you're an all meal that stone

15:14

That grows into a kingdom that grows and covers the whole earth. It's never on the earth

15:19

It's in heaven all meals believe that the kingdom of God is the rule and reign of Jesus Christ in heaven and not on earth

15:28

Only post -millennialism teaches that Jesus being the stone

15:34

And that stone being the kingdom of God comes hands on the earth And that stone

15:41

The kingdom of God grows on the earth as a great mountain that covers the whole earth

15:46

That as the waters cover the sea so shall the knowledge of the Lord now.

15:52

I'm not saying that right now as we speak That this mountain covers the whole earth, but this mountain is a lot bigger than it was in first century

16:01

Jerusalem That's what I'm saying. That's what this guy's saying So like it just comes to a point where you have to look at this chapter

16:16

There is no gaps. There is no separation The iron in the feet is the same iron that's in the legs.

16:25

It's Rome and The clay is Jerusalem. There's only one moment of time where iron and clay were mixed together

16:33

That was in first century Jerusalem First century during the

16:40

Roman peace And that's when that stone was cut out by no human hands the incarnation of Jesus Christ And he came into the world and a stone not only represents

16:51

Christ Jesus, but it represents his kingdom His kingdom has come

16:56

He was given a kingdom by his father and that kingdom every time the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached and if God Sovereignly chooses to Open a heart to receive this message.

17:12

They are a brick that's added to the temple of God They are added to the kingdom brick by brick by brick this

17:22

Temple this mountain is going to cover the whole earth

17:28

And what you have to do if you're a Christian is preach the gospel Witness be a witness for Jesus Christ, and if you listen to this and you're not a

17:38

Christian know this you You're not a sin. I mean,

17:44

I mean, you don't sin because you're a sinner

17:51

I'm not excuse me You're not a sinner because you sin you sin because you're a sinner

17:59

Are you hearing me you have you you The you have never lived a moment of your life where you have been obedient to God You do you've never loved

18:14

God the way scripture commands you to you do not love your neighbor You you don't if you envy him if you look at if I'm speaking to like Let's say you're a man and your neighbor has a wife or your friend has a wife and you

18:30

Lustfully think about her you're not loving your neighbor. I don't care how many outward good deed you do for him

18:39

Like like like we are sinfully sinful. We are corrupt. Our nature is corrupt

18:47

There's nothing we can do to get to God The only way that anyone can be saved would be the same way that Abraham was saved

18:59

A God took Abraham away from his people. He takes him out into a dark lit

19:08

Desert in the night sky and stars everywhere He tells him that then an offspring was going to come from him and that this offspring that's going to come from him

19:19

Is going to to to to bless the nation and he tells him that that as many stars are in the sky

19:26

So shall his offspring be And the Bible says that Abraham believed

19:32

God He believed that so shall his offspring be when it comes to the number of the stars

19:38

That was according to the offspring that would come from him He believed God and God credited to him as righteousness

19:48

God credited to him as righteousness You and I we have to understand this

20:01

But the only way that you and I can go to that can be right with God is because of the active obedience of Jesus Christ the active obedience of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ lived a life that we could not live.

20:19

He loved God perfectly He loved his neighbors perfectly and he died the death that you and I deserve to die you and I Do not love

20:29

God perfectly you and I do not love our neighbors perfectly Jesus Christ had did

20:37

Jesus Christ Stood in our stead that when he was on the cross the wrath of God and the mercy of God met for the first time

20:45

The wrath of God that you and I deserve fell on Jesus and the mercy of God that you and I do not deserve comes to us

20:53

Through the active obedience of Christ because of the active obedience of Christ if we believe

21:02

God if we believe in Jesus Christ what God has done to rescue us through Christ Jesus you and I Can stand before God perfectly?

21:15

righteous Because of the active obedience of God God will credit to us

21:21

The righteousness of Jesus Christ, so when we stand before him it will be as if we have never sinned

21:29

Not because we have never sinned We're sinful, but because of the active obedience of Christ you and I have always been actively disobedient

21:39

Not obedient actively disobedient The only way that anyone can be saved is through the active obedience of Christ We believe what

21:50

God has done for us through Jesus Christ and by doing so he credited

21:57

His active obedience to our account, okay?

22:03

So I beg you to repent and believe the gospel ladies and gentlemen if you have a different view on eschatology
