Pastor Shipley with us this evening I have to get out of the habit.

03:21

I'm just calling you Josiah. That's fine, too But anyways By the way,

03:28

I'm it it just thrills me to know in that you have

03:35

Decided to listen and take it on the path that I feel like the Lord has put you on It really does warm my heart

03:44

Deeply because I saw it in you many years ago and you were like,

03:51

I'm teaching Spanish That's what I'm like But you know

04:11

See there you go Like she was

04:27

So tonight We're gonna be in the book of Isaiah verse of what verses or what we are in chapter 46 verses 1 through 4

04:39

If we feel like we'll skip on down further, but specifically chapter 46 verse 1 through 4

04:45

I Have one through six All right,

04:51

Mercedes Yeah, okay, all right 46 right?

04:57

Yeah Bell crouches Nebo cowers their idols were consigned to beast and cattle

05:03

The images you carry are loaded as a burden for the weary animal the gods coward they crouch together

05:09

They are not able to rescue the burden, but they themselves go into captivity Listen to me house of Jacob all the remnant of the house of Israel Who have been sustained from the womb carried along since birth?

05:23

I will be the same until your old age and I will bear you up when you turn gray I have made you and I will carry you

05:30

I will bury bear and save you Okay, so Pastor why did you choose this first?

05:44

Meditating on from the encouragement from Comparison of the idols the would -be

06:09

And if you don't mind So It's not the same as bail

06:22

Nebo stoops their idols are decent livestock, right? So they're images of their gods, right?

06:28

They have to play obviously they can't move right there wouldn't stone They place them on animals to be carrying them, right and it says these things you carry are born as burdens on weary beasts

06:40

Your your would -be gods have to be carried And these are even gods the gods people sometimes from time to time turn to Yeah, so in a literal sense the burden of the weight is heavy because it's a big rock or carved wood

06:59

And they're having to put on their animals or carry it themselves and they're having to carry it around right this supposed powerful being right

07:08

Right you look at verse 2. They stoop. They bow down together They cannot save the burden, but they themselves go into captivity

07:17

Verse 3 for those you jump it on Isaiah 46. I'm in verse 3 Listen to me a house of Jacob all the remnant of Israel Who have been

07:29

In ESV. It says who have been instead of sustained who have been born by me

07:35

Since before your birth. I want you to hear that sentence again You have been born by me since before your birth

07:46

Carried from the moon Even to your old age. I am he and to the gray hairs.

07:53

I will carry you I've made you I will bear you. I will carry you. I will say We have these would -be gods being carried

08:01

But if you notice our God carries us listen to comparison between Yahweh Yahweh our

08:06

God That's his personal name right like Jehovah Yahweh, right? Listen to me a house of Jacob.

08:12

So these are what your would -be gods They have to be placed on animals to be able to move right? But listen to me a house of Jacob all the remnant of Israel.

08:19

You have been born by me since before your birth Just stop and think about it for a minute just that one sentence you've been born by me since before your birth

08:31

Pastor Jeff often says Vicki why do we love

08:42

God? Because what? He loved us first, right?

08:48

We love him because he first loved us. Oh, I could go Okay, fair enough

08:53

I was quoting first Look you have been born by me since before your birth and not just born by me carried from the moon

09:10

Even to your old age I am he Even to the gray hairs.

09:15

I'll carry you. I've made you I will save you. I'll carry you You know think about that for a minute

09:25

Yahweh just means I am right like he told Moses I Am that I am right?

09:31

I am tell them I am I said Yahweh. I am that's what Yahweh means Okay, and so thank you for saying that What did

09:40

Jesus say in John 8 58 as Mercedes quoted? Jesus said before Abraham was in John 8 58

09:47

I am Look at this again Yahweh says even to your old age.

09:53

So not only did I Were you born by me from before your physical birth?

09:59

Right? You were you were born by me from where the physical birth? He's telling all of Israel and the individual members of the house of Israel.

10:07

You're born by me from your own birth Not just that Just like God didn't just create the world and see what happens

10:14

He didn't just create you and see what happened you have been sustained and carried even to your old age and your gray hairs and Then Jesus when he said before Abraham was

10:25

I am listen that again even to your old age I am he in Greek ego.

10:31

I'm me which is exactly what Jesus said in John 8 ego I'm me even to your old age.

10:36

I am Exactly as Jesus said because before Abraham ever was

10:45

Holman says I will be the same until your old age, which I like to because God never changes.

10:51

Yeah, never Yeah I would be the same. It's the same yesterday

11:11

Gospels it's a Matthew, but I don't know the chapter This is let me teach you something

11:17

This is when you can use your phone and cheat all you have to do is get your phone out My yoke is easy

11:27

You'll keep reading I Know my glasses

12:08

One time I was looking for my sunglasses Worst one was

12:14

Hey, sweetheart, I call you back I have lost my phone in the couch for hours.

12:21

I was like, I'll just call it Thanks Come to me all of you who are weary and burden and I will give you rest

13:11

All of you take up my yoke and learn from me because I am gentle and humble in heart You will find rest for yourselves for my yoke is easy.

13:17

My burden is light when it was talking about The burden that the animals had to carry

13:23

While they were carrying those statues of those God those gods that my brain went to that Where is that's great.

13:36

This is it. No, this isn't that's really good. That's fantastic Yeah He goes on You I'm still in Isaiah 46

13:51

Verse 5 To him when you liken me and make me equal compare me that we may be alike

13:56

There's your lavish gold from the purse and weigh out silver on their scales the higher goldsmith and make them into a god

14:02

And then fall down and worship. Yeah, so you've got to go get all this gold. You got to work for this gold Yeah Then you gotta weigh it melt it down Make a goldsmith making this on you fall down and worship something that you paid for you work for you did all this, right?

14:16

Verse seven They lifted to your shoulders. They carry it set it in place and it stands there

14:21

It can't move from its place. If one cries to it, it doesn't have an answer can save them in trouble verse 8 Remember this and stand in front of a car.

14:29

We're called to mind you transgressors. Now, this is the part I think we have all read before it here.

14:34

I think I was here first not All I'd ever say is do a job Remember what happened long ago for I am

14:40

God and there is no other I am God and no one is like me I declared the end from the beginning and from long ago

14:48

What is not yet done saying my plan will take place and I will do all

15:01

Yes, that that's that I need to write that down So verse 8 remember remember this

15:10

Stand firm recall it to mind you transgressors. One of the ways that you can stand firm is remembering what

15:15

God has done in the past Remember the former things of old. Okay. Now he's speaking to the Israelites.

15:21

Now. This is an Isaiah 46 Remember what I did for Moses and bringing you out of Egypt, right?

15:27

Remember we're bringing you into the promised land. Remember King David Remember it right. Remember the things of old how

15:33

I sustained you like I told you I would for I am God and there is No other hey, you're the would -be gods

15:40

I am God. There's no other I am God and there was no one like me. I Declare the end from the beginning that sentence right there should bring us so much.

15:48

Peace Yeah, I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet seen or not yet done

15:55

Saying my counsel will stand and I will accomplish accomplish all

16:03

My purpose that that right that right there Eases my

16:11

Soul yes so much because Where the my plan will take place.

16:18

Yeah, and I will do all You can just go

16:28

I Mean it's it this chapter

16:37

The sovereignty of God laid out right he's he's in total control whatever other God, whatever the

16:44

I know whatever the thing we're trusting in we're having to work for it, you know, whether that be

16:52

Status or Whatever it is attention

16:58

We're having to work for it, we're wavering over it we're staying up at night Oh, we're working for it and just like with these gods we're doing all the work

17:06

Yeah, nothing in return. Yeah, and then still longing after these things exactly But our

17:12

God we have been born by him since before birth carried from the land even to your old age even to your gray hairs

17:19

I've carried you and you know sitting here it There's so much that I've sat back and looked at and wondered well before I Would sit back and wonder.

17:32

I don't know make it through all that. I think I really do that, but I didn't do that It wasn't me at all

17:42

I was just Is it safe to say that The description of all the labor that they had to put into With weighing up getting the gold and weighing it all out and all that with that being more of like a works based

18:03

Oh, of course, I mean, yeah exactly with with these would -be gods, you know, it's like we've said before Christianity Is the reverse of all the would -be

18:16

Religions the others are about man climbing the ladder to get the God piling

18:22

Robbie Zacharias Who's in glory now said it this way. He said every other

18:30

Religion if you will, even though religion is not the term we prefer Is about piling up merit to climb it to reach

18:39

God you got a pile it up Christianity is story where God came down to man

18:45

You look at this verse six You lavish gold from the perch way out the so on the skills you hire a goldsmith

18:54

He makes it into a god then you fall down and worship it And then they lift it to your shoulders you carry it set in place it stands there and it doesn't move

19:04

It cries out you cry for help and it doesn't save you from trouble We were separated completely from God there would be nothing for us to climb

19:26

In order to reach him, right he had to reach down for us That's why the whole thing goes

19:38

That's why people tell you all the time you can witness to people But you don't lead anybody to Christ The Holy Spirit does that work and all we're to do is to plant the seed because it's his will

19:51

Yeah, we're shining a light we're planting a seed those are the terms that we do, right We're not we're not taking someone by the hand and carrying them to the cross, right?

20:00

We're just Showing them this is that right? So it's not None of it's us.

20:08

We're not the ones carrying and sustaining Like These these statues that are made by these people they will deteriorate

20:33

Deteriorate good graces, sorry over time with weather and Everything else and that's something else like Yeah God does not deteriorate.

20:46

He is not They just think they gotta do more work and build in another one Right, right, right

20:55

And then that one's probably the next one's probably not gonna look just like the other one did It is gonna have some sort of difference and I think in our modern context every one of us could

21:07

Replace this veil and Nebo with some of the God or idol we have in our life. That's exactly what

21:13

I was thinking I mean Every one of us either have or currently have something like that.

21:19

I'm sorry. I said that backwards either had or currently have Something like this.

21:24

Yeah, and it's happy and we certainly do this we work for we pay for it

21:31

Whether it's with our sweat with them or whatever and then we expect it to work for us, right? That's exactly what happens whether that's acceptance mental

21:43

Yeah, and it will cause you to have the gray hair Truth So I have a new

22:12

I think I have a new favorite Now I declare the end from the beginning

22:25

And from long ago What is not yet done saying my plan will take place and I will do

22:37

The problem example of that alone is you know when An angel of the lord came down to speak to mary telling her about she was going to be pregnant with You know jesus,

22:53

I mean and he was going to be the savior of men And it happened and then

23:01

And there was prophecies in the old testament of his dazzling across right and then that happened and then

23:09

I mean It's undeniable truth Just like the end

23:21

I would have done what has not yet been done. Let me let me ask you do you think?

23:28

Which I know that you don't like to Thanks for your experiences, yeah, okay

23:51

Anyways, so are we going because I know we're we are Studying revelation.

23:58

Yeah, good job. I didn't use put an s on it, did I? That's so good, did you hear the the

24:07

How much concentration that took she's like just thinking about god only needed one god only needed one god

24:14

Yeah So because you you've told me that several times so, um, so in revelation and what we've been studying um

24:25

I know that we've gotten to the this the The people are going to be lifted and the dead are going to rise and all that stuff.

24:34

Yeah. Okay, so Hey janine Sorry work for you.

24:40

Oh, hi work friend. So do you think that? Yeah, we're gonna

24:53

Okay, we're we're gonna meet each other right because that's that's his that's his will we're gonna meet each other.

25:01

Yeah In my way. Yeah, yeah So that's going to be something that's going to be hot.

25:09

Okay When he calls his church home from all the earth, yeah, all believers will meet him in the air.

25:15

Yes. Okay. Yes like a hoover Yeah, he'll be like, okay let's let's grab the russians let's grab the australians they met

25:24

Yes, and we'll all be in the air like a hoover. Sure, but it says in the blink of an eye and those hoover

25:29

No, they're not but you know, but that's what I you know, because you see all these pictures of people like You know, it says the blink of an eye.

25:37

I know it's just gonna be like that. Yeah, that's not even that's not even as fast Ah, but still right.

25:43

Um But that too is his will Yes, so It will happen it will happen

25:53

And then in that seven years There's going to be

26:00

A lot of people Crawling to christ Yeah, and uh, just to leave room

26:09

Just um, do you think that I mean, I know that it's all part of his will but My thing is and this is what kind of strikes me with with that one passage right there

26:20

In 10. Yeah Um Is it

26:27

You know, it would really be cool to say all that but I don't want to Does that make sense?

26:33

Yes So the ones that are going to be left here if everybody goes then who's going to be left here to To do that to lead people in christ during that seven years

26:47

You follow that there'll be a lot of people that convert and become believers and then continue to do so So is it gonna they're gonna have to like start from scratch

27:00

Oh Yeah, thinking about like all the knowledge and like self -taught. Uh, well kind of but remember

27:07

Well, okay. First off just to make sure i'm being fair to everybody There are plenty of believers even in this church who who hold to more of a mid

27:14

Trib rapture or a post -trib rapture, but since i'll share my bias I tend to believe pre so I do believe it'll be seven not three and a half years after that.

27:23

So yes So I could totally be wrong but at any rate that's not the point of the question one of the question is if When the lord calls his church home?

27:33

Yes. Okay a few things first off The day of pentecost 3 000 people came believers that day.

27:41

Gotcha the holy spirit Salvation is of god God saves

27:47

Okay, I know you know, that's uh, not pastor. Jeff. Not billy graham. Not right Not me.

27:54

No, no god saves. Yes also You know it even says uh, you will be taught by god

28:03

Keep in mind this that Abraham did not have a pastor right neither did moses, right?

28:13

The lord can teach everyone's if the lord Right now it is the lord's will That pastors shepherd his flock.

28:21

Gotcha, even though jesus is the great shepherd, right, right, right but the lord There are nothing more than a tool for god to use for that purpose.

28:30

I mean god told moses Explained the creation the beginning so that he could record it.

28:36

What's that? Yeah, so Yeah, that makes sense. Um Keep in mind even though Uh, it'll be whisked away by many people

28:46

I think there'll be plenty of people get saved in that time Uh, and once the holy spirit regenerates someone james 1 5 and if you're listening out there and you're

28:59

A new christian you're not a christian or you just don't know where to start with memorizing scripture I always encourage everybody the first verse.

29:07

I think everyone should memorize is james 1 5 james 1 5 or psalm 119 11 but james 1 5 james 1 5 says

29:17

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of god Who gives to all generously and without criticizing?

29:25

If you trust and believe that verse If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of god or gives all

29:34

Don't happen. Also. Um, I just looked for my phone's about the night miss quinn made a comment

29:39

There's a lot of people with head knowledge of jesus right now, but no heart knowledge Well the next day that heart knowledge is going to activate that see right now they have

29:49

Their trichotomy backwards of what's in charge, right? and that That's where the holy spirit's going to be saying i've been telling you

29:58

So miss quinn's got a good point there What's fun for me was james 1 5 is

30:03

I didn't even know that was a verse And I did that and I literally started understanding

30:11

As as soon as I opened my bible back up after I said amen And I didn't even know that was a verse in scripture i've shared your stories of Sanctification of you growing of your salvation before mercedes

30:27

Okay, mercedes, I think I said this last time I was on you it's a beautiful I told her last week I don't remember the chapter i'm going to say it's ephesians one that may have been it but Mercedes is reading

30:39

The bible as an unbeliever. This was some years ago. So let's say i'm just gonna make up a number three years ago, right? Four years ago five years ago, whatever right?

30:47

She was reading it some years ago last year last year Okay, so okay last year as an unbeliever mercedes is reading

30:56

I think it was ephesians one Yeah, because I'm gonna do that one And she's I don't understand it now

31:04

That has nothing to do with head knowledge She understands every word that's on the page.

31:09

She knows what it prays The god and father of our lord jesus christ.

31:15

She knows what those words mean You don't need a dictionary. She knows what they mean, right? She knows what they mean.

31:21

So let me Mercedes gets saved and the next month goes back and reads that and understands that now what happened in those two or three months

31:29

Did mercedes go to college? Did mercedes get a tutor did mercedes take a speed reading program?

31:35

None of those things because it had nothing to do with a head knowledge had to do with a heart

31:40

I literally said help me understand Now don't get me wrong There are genuine things that god has ordained that we can learn to help us read the bible.

31:50

They're called hermeneutics Yes, okay And it's a process by which you read the bible and helping those can help us understand some very difficult passages

31:59

But at the core of it is a spirit -led thing and that's not a Supernatural set the lighting just right make sure the worship music's on in the background

32:09

And I mean those things can help the focus, but you don't need to create an ambience. It's about a Contrite and humble heart.

32:17

Yeah, I was laying in bed had my bible app open on my phone going. Yep I don't get it.

32:22

Yeah exactly. I stopped and I asked just help me understand this. Yeah open my eyes started in I was like Oh Okay, I can get that one.

32:30

Let me write that one Yeah, and me and vicki have talked about it. Like that was I think the point of my conversion

32:37

That was when it started that was it. Let me tell you why I agree and i'm not you uh

32:43

In other words, I can't tell you this for sure because you only let me tell you why I agree We see that in scripture all the time where the holy spirit

32:56

Enters in the son of life and their salvation and they can finally understand the things of god

33:04

And I think you're probably right I think that moment in time that day May have been that moment for you and it's just a beautiful thing to see and I love using that example

33:15

Because so often we let our head knowledge or human knowledge get in the way of god. Yeah Well, like you say we're saying what would go where you know

33:24

You can't dim the lights and light your incense or light your candle and turn your worship music on I found some of my best study time was when

33:34

My husband was in the recliner passed out And I was stressed out to no end and all

33:40

I could do was say god Show me Teach me what am I doing? And why am

33:46

I doing it? And show me what you want me to do And how i'm to do it and It just went from there

33:55

It's like when you keep hearing one specific verse over and over throughout the period of like a week and you're like, all right

34:01

All right. Let me go look at yeah, and then you're like, oh and then you just keep going Well, what I what

34:06

I would have to do is I would just have to sit there quietly Because the kids by this time were in bed

34:12

But like I said, he was passed just move out And I would just pray Show me now today

34:22

What I am to learn and what I am to see what you want me Yeah, and I would just open my bible

34:30

And start reading and there would be I mean, I kid you not it would be and I started doing this at least three nights a week when the night would

34:41

Go in such a manner as i've already spoken of which was Seven days a week, but seven days a week.

34:48

I didn't have the time to sit and do that seven days a week So I tried to do it at least three nights a week but in the chaos

34:57

Of my life at that time is when he spoke to me the loudest I just had to be still

35:07

So it can be done yes, you just have to take that minute You just have to take that And and i'll tell you once I got started and my eyes were being open more and more and things were getting clearer and I was going well, i've just been messing everything up because I was like, well,

35:27

I need to be doing this and it's on me to do this and it's and there was so much of Cleansing I had to do myself

35:34

Of myself. Yeah Yeah, it's definitely a wake -up call. Yeah. Okay. Oh, I got this wrong.

35:40

Yeah Yeah, I need to yeah, let me step back for a second martin luther um said the more holy a man becomes

35:48

So we would say the more sanctified a man becomes the more disgusted he is with the sin that remains

35:55

Because now he's more aware of it than he's ever been right? Yes, then you look back because before I just known then what

36:02

I know now Right things would have been so much easier. Yeah, exactly But you wouldn't be where you're at now if you hadn't gone through what you went through then

36:09

Or if he hadn't gotten you what you went through then Does that make sense?

36:16

Yeah, I think so I was actually talking to a young lady at work today and um

36:23

She was having some issues because she does some leadership she has some leadership role in her church and um

36:32

I was trying to help her With applying scripture. I said I don't don't give them thoughts

36:39

Give them truth It's not what you're thinking. It's what he says well said

36:45

So, you know It's not what you're thinking. It's what he says how far apart

36:53

Are because isaiah wrote isaiah So how far apart are david and isaiah isaiah wrote isaiah as best we can tell 700 maybe 650 years before jesus david became king a thousand thousand fifty years so roughly

37:12

Well a thousand so roughly three hundred and three hundred fifty years so david before Isaiah david before isaiah by three centuries.

37:22

Yeah david in psalm Psalm 33 11 says the counsel of the lord stand forever the plans of his heart from generation to generation.

37:31

Yep Watch this. Yeah And then watch this the council so it says the same thing right and the point being of course is that This is why we always say

37:44

We believe that the bible is the word of god Written by 40 some different people over a period of 1500 years, but all says the same thing nebuchadnezzar who

37:56

Learned who the real god was said this something very similar to daniel four. I just read this Somewhere.

38:01

I don't know where daniel four All right, so you just read psalm 33, right read that again 33 11 the counsel of the lord stands forever the plans of his heart from generation to generation

38:15

At the end of the days i'm nebuchadnezzar with some eyes to heaven my reason returned to me I bless the most high and praise and honor him in this forever for his dominion is an everlasting

38:25

Dominion his kingdom endures from generation to generation From All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing

38:32

He does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth No one can stay his hand or say to him what have you done?

38:44

33 12 also says happy as a nation whose god is yahweh the people he has chosen to be his own possession and then over here

38:53

In 46 13, I am bringing my justice near if it's not far away. My salvation will not delay

38:58

I will put salvation in zion my splendor in israel. Yeah I I love being able to find parallel passages

39:09

Exponential amount of years in between them because it proves it's unchanging.

39:15

Yeah, it's consistent Yeah but I mean You know what?

39:22

I just accidentally turned here. This is isaiah 52, right? It says behold my servant This god speaking of jesus will act wisely.

39:29

He will be high and lifted up and exalted Jesus says unless the son of man is lifted up Right and he'll draw all men to himself

39:39

He recognized And It's not just us our church

39:45

Brothers and sisters and fathers for many years are recognized that the old testament prophesied about our lord 700 years before he was ever born on this planet

39:57

Oh, what a night God carrying us and sustaining us from birth.

40:14

So We are he said he

40:20

He intervenes and protects us from things that we don't even see we needed protection from Therefore from the time we were before we were born that protection was there

40:33

Because we were already chosen That's my boy That's there are gonna be things when we get to heaven.

40:42

We're gonna be able to look back and see Oh That's why you did that lord

40:49

That's why you did that because if you didn't do that this would happen That's yeah for me sometimes it's just going down the road like the other night last saturday night we were out

40:59

There's a long story. We were out having to handle some some family issues and We're coming down the interstate.

41:07

It's pitch dark and there is a car flipped over upside down And another car off in the ditch the people were safe.

41:16

They were fine But had we been Just a few minutes sooner

41:23

You know my my brain went that could have been us Could have been you run late in traffic or you run late to work so you get stuck in traffic because there's a bad accident

41:32

But if you were on time You could have been in that accident, right? Like that's just how my brain was like That's why

41:42

I don't fuss about being late to work sometimes but Sometimes it's just me going

41:59

It's not there's no time to get in a hurry. Yeah, don't run people over Don't create that accident, right?

42:10

perfect I can't tell you how many times i've said that myself. I'll put it to you this way.

42:16

I was in little rock arkansas back in my hem holidays and um I was in a corvette

42:24

With three people in it Okay corvettes were two seizures, right? um

42:30

And the driver says How did I end up on this? How did

42:35

I end up going the wrong way on this one -way street? I was like Oh, there was one time me and justin were on the going the wrong way in a one -way and I went oh

42:53

I don't think the street signs should be backwards He's like, oh crap, I did it once downtown

42:59

I immediately put the thing in reverse back into a uh

43:06

Traffic light. No, I didn't back into a crossway. What am I trying to say? Intersection intersection goodness gracious.

43:12

Yeah I've done that. You know where the starbucks is on poplar where it is legitimately a one -way right in that one little area

43:20

I had no clue. It was one way. I was in a little panic attack because I was trying to go take my state board test

43:26

For my massage license and all of a sudden I see cars coming at me and I was like, this isn't good

43:31

This isn't good. This isn't good Why are all these people going the wrong way, right?

43:36

What is happening? Why are they all? All these people which did not help the the anxiousness at all about the test

43:45

I failed it the first time three weeks by like I missed it by like five points I took it again three weeks later and upped it by like 70 points and passed it.

43:55

So All right, good job, this is out of 100, um, this was out of Because if you upped it by 70 that means the first time you made it really bad

44:08

It's one of those tests where you can only miss so many before it's an automatic failure Yeah, there is a whole lot of question on that test

44:16

Yeah, it was like a two or three hour test understood It's okay. Oh, um

44:23
