00:06:06.627 --> 00:06:09.263
Its stem had the hebrew alphabet.
00:06:09.329 --> 00:06:11.198
Hebrew alphabet. when the high priest
00:06:11.265 --> 00:06:12.266
When the high priest went into the tabernacle
00:06:12.332 --> 00:06:14.234
Went into the tabernacle and stood before the light
00:06:14.301 --> 00:06:16.270
And stood before the light coming from those
00:06:16.336 --> 00:06:16.970
Coming from those seven candlesticks,
00:06:17.037 --> 00:06:18.439
Seven candlesticks, the light of god would
00:06:18.505 --> 00:06:20.007
The light of god would go into one of those
00:06:20.073 --> 00:06:21.308
Go into one of those 12 precious stones
00:06:21.375 --> 00:06:23.477
12 precious stones he had in his attire.
00:06:23.544 --> 00:06:25.546
He had in his attire. brother, if you think you
00:06:25.612 --> 00:06:27.314
Brother, if you think you have a giddy up go suit
00:06:27.381 --> 00:06:29.850
Have a giddy up go suit to go to church,
00:06:29.917 --> 00:06:30.451
To go to church, that's really one.
00:06:30.517 --> 00:06:32.286
That's really one. a huge array of jewelry.
00:06:32.352 --> 00:06:35.589
A huge array of jewelry. when that light hit that it went
00:06:35.656 --> 00:06:38.826
When that light hit that it went to the stem of that menorah,
00:06:38.892 --> 00:06:42.029
To the stem of that menorah, and letter by letter,
00:06:42.095 --> 00:06:43.664
And letter by letter, word by word,
00:06:43.730 --> 00:06:45.933
Word by word, spelled the perfect will
00:06:45.999 --> 00:06:47.868
Spelled the perfect will of god for israel to follow.
00:06:47.935 --> 00:06:50.604
Of god for israel to follow. israel didn't go into
00:06:50.671 --> 00:06:51.905
Israel didn't go into the wilderness and rub
00:06:51.972 --> 00:06:53.740
The wilderness and rub their arthritic elbows
00:06:53.807 --> 00:06:54.975
Their arthritic elbows wondering what god
00:06:55.042 --> 00:06:56.143
Wondering what god wants to do today.
00:06:56.210 --> 00:06:57.644
Wants to do today. they went into
00:06:57.711 --> 00:06:58.512
They went into the tabernacle and god
00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:00.147
The tabernacle and god gave them a specific
00:07:00.214 --> 00:07:02.282
Gave them a specific assignment to do.
00:07:02.349 --> 00:07:03.717
Assignment to do. and when the high priest went
00:07:03.784 --> 00:07:05.986
And when the high priest went into the tabernacle and stood
00:07:06.053 --> 00:07:07.821
Into the tabernacle and stood before the light coming out,
00:07:07.888 --> 00:07:09.656
Before the light coming out, the light of god reflected
00:07:09.723 --> 00:07:11.758
The light of god reflected from the ephod and focused on
00:07:11.825 --> 00:07:13.794
From the ephod and focused on the letters of the stem
00:07:13.861 --> 00:07:15.062
The letters of the stem of the candlestick
00:07:15.128 --> 00:07:16.363
Of the candlestick and put the exact
00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:18.165
And put the exact and perfect will of god
00:07:18.232 --> 00:07:19.900
And perfect will of god for israel into play.
00:07:19.967 --> 00:07:21.869
For israel into play. it was an exact
00:07:21.935 --> 00:07:23.237
It was an exact and personal revelation
00:07:23.303 --> 00:07:25.339
And personal revelation from god to israel.
00:07:25.405 --> 00:07:27.875
From god to israel. think about that.
00:07:27.941 --> 00:07:29.009
Think about that. how many of you would like
00:07:29.076 --> 00:07:30.277
How many of you would like to receive a direct
00:07:30.344 --> 00:07:31.945
To receive a direct and personal revelation
00:07:32.012 --> 00:07:33.780
And personal revelation of the will of god
00:07:33.847 --> 00:07:34.982
Of the will of god for your life?
00:07:35.048 --> 00:07:35.816
For your life? let me see your hand.
00:07:35.883 --> 00:07:36.750

This is your guiding light,
00:07:47.761 --> 00:07:50.097
This is your guiding light, all you have to do is read it.
00:07:50.163 --> 00:07:52.299
All you have to do is read it. the word of god is our light
00:07:52.366 --> 00:07:55.769
The word of god is our light and the candlestick
00:07:55.836 --> 00:07:56.570
And the candlestick of revelation,
00:07:56.637 --> 00:07:58.005
Of revelation, the word and the will of god
00:07:58.071 --> 00:07:59.873
The word and the will of god are always the same.
00:07:59.940 --> 00:08:02.242
Are always the same. the word is the foundation
00:08:02.309 --> 00:08:03.810
The word is the foundation of our hope.
00:08:03.877 --> 00:08:04.745
Of our hope. this is the lamp
00:08:04.811 --> 00:08:05.612
This is the lamp to our feet
00:08:05.679 --> 00:08:06.480
To our feet and a light to our pathway.
00:08:06.547 --> 00:08:08.615
And a light to our pathway. it shows us immediately
00:08:08.682 --> 00:08:09.783
It shows us immediately what to do and what to do
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:11.518
What to do and what to do into the future.
00:08:11.585 --> 00:08:12.819
Into the future. the word is pure.
00:08:12.886 --> 00:08:14.288
The word is pure. the word is holy.
00:08:14.354 --> 00:08:15.656
The word is holy. the word is true from
00:08:15.722 --> 00:08:17.124
The word is true from genesis to revelation.
00:08:17.190 --> 00:08:18.659
Genesis to revelation. this word is eternal.
00:08:18.725 --> 00:08:20.260
This word is eternal. it is prophetic.
00:08:20.327 --> 00:08:21.628
It is prophetic. it is the light that
00:08:21.695 --> 00:08:22.663
It is the light that shines in a dark place.
00:08:22.729 --> 00:08:24.364
Shines in a dark place. may it lead you to have

00:08:26.033 --> 00:08:27.634
The place of hope, to discover peace,
00:08:27.701 --> 00:08:29.303
To discover peace, to know joy that is
00:08:29.369 --> 00:08:30.404
To know joy that is unspeakable and full of glory.
00:08:30.470 --> 00:08:32.673
Unspeakable and full of glory. may it take you from
00:08:32.739 --> 00:08:34.174

00:08:38.946 --> 00:08:40.113
Over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:41.515
The flesh, and the devil. let god arise and let his
00:08:41.582 --> 00:08:43.283
Let god arise and let his enemies be scattered.
00:08:43.350 --> 00:08:44.885
Enemies be scattered. can i hear an amen
00:08:44.952 --> 00:08:45.953
Can i hear an amen in this house?
00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:46.687
[cheering and applause]
00:08:47.020 --> 00:08:52.426
The lamp without fire.
00:08:52.893 --> 00:08:56.330
The lamp without fire. think of it.
00:08:56.396 --> 00:08:57.531
Think of it. there it is.
00:08:57.598 --> 00:08:58.699
There it is. the menorah without
00:08:58.765 --> 00:09:00.067
The menorah without flame is useless.
00:09:00.133 --> 00:09:03.337
Flame is useless. back to the lamp
00:09:03.403 --> 00:09:04.137
Back to the lamp in the tabernacle.
00:09:04.204 --> 00:09:05.739
In the tabernacle. when the light
00:09:05.806 --> 00:09:06.273
When the light of the holy spirit
00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:08.275
Of the holy spirit that has the oil
00:09:08.342 --> 00:09:08.909
That has the oil and the lamp catches on fire,
00:09:08.976 --> 00:09:11.979
And the lamp catches on fire, it reveals the perfect
00:09:12.045 --> 00:09:13.513
It reveals the perfect will of god.
00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:15.616
Will of god. in scripture,
00:09:15.682 --> 00:09:16.316
In scripture, oil is the type
00:09:16.383 --> 00:09:17.317
Oil is the type of the holy spirit.
00:09:17.384 --> 00:09:18.952
Of the holy spirit. the symbolism of the candlestick
00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:21.188
The symbolism of the candlestick tells us that the church can
00:09:21.254 --> 00:09:22.823
Tells us that the church can only give light when it is
00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:24.591
Only give light when it is filled with the holy spirit
00:09:24.658 --> 00:09:26.393
Filled with the holy spirit and set on fire by god.
00:09:26.460 --> 00:09:30.163
And set on fire by god. remember the words
00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:30.864
Remember the words of john the baptist?
00:09:30.931 --> 00:09:32.132
Of john the baptist? he said, "he will baptize you."
00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:34.568
He said, "he will baptize you." speaking of jesus,
00:09:34.635 --> 00:09:35.669
Speaking of jesus, "with the holy spirit
00:09:35.736 --> 00:09:36.937
"with the holy spirit and fire."
00:09:37.004 --> 00:09:39.206
And fire." and fire.
00:09:39.272 --> 00:09:41.441
And fire. listen, this is not all --
00:09:41.508 --> 00:09:43.677
Listen, this is not all -- this is not rocket science.
00:09:43.744 --> 00:09:45.846
This is not rocket science. oil and fire produce light.
00:09:45.912 --> 00:09:49.483
Oil and fire produce light. oil without fire,
00:09:49.549 --> 00:09:51.318
Oil without fire, you're still in the dark.
00:09:51.385 --> 00:09:53.186
You're still in the dark. oil plus fire brings light.
00:09:53.253 --> 00:09:56.423
Oil plus fire brings light. the oil demands fire.
00:09:56.490 --> 00:09:59.226
The oil demands fire. the church without the fire
00:09:59.292 --> 00:10:00.894
The church without the fire of the holy spirit is nothing
00:10:00.961 --> 00:10:03.163
Of the holy spirit is nothing but a pile of bricks.
00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:06.767

And were cast out of heaven.
00:10:13.674 --> 00:10:15.375

Declared war on those

That can crush the darkness of sin and satan.
00:12:23.203 --> 00:12:25.005
Of sin and satan. you are the light of truth.

You are the light of truth. you are the light that can
00:12:26.773 --> 00:12:27.941
You are the light that can receive hope and love
00:12:28.008 --> 00:12:29.409
Receive hope and love and righteousness

In your church, in your synagogue.

In your synagogue. let the light of god

00:12:39.452 --> 00:12:40.120
[applause]
00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:45.926
America is in darkness.
00:12:46.359 --> 00:12:48.728
America is in darkness. looking at the candlestick
00:12:48.795 --> 00:12:49.863
Looking at the candlestick in the tabernacle flaming
00:12:49.930 --> 00:12:51.832
In the tabernacle flaming with the holy spirit
00:12:51.898 --> 00:12:52.666
With the holy spirit anointed with oil,
00:12:52.732 --> 00:12:53.900
Anointed with oil, we have a remarkable
00:12:53.967 --> 00:12:55.302
We have a remarkable picture of the church.
00:12:55.368 --> 00:12:57.404
Picture of the church. without the candlestick,
00:12:57.470 --> 00:12:58.572
Without the candlestick, there is no source of light
00:12:58.638 --> 00:13:00.140
There is no source of light in the holy place.
00:13:00.207 --> 00:13:01.708
In the holy place. apart from the church,
00:13:01.775 --> 00:13:02.809
Apart from the church, there is no light in america
00:13:02.876 --> 00:13:06.046
There is no light in america and there are people who want
00:13:06.112 --> 00:13:07.180
And there are people who want to snuff out that light.
00:13:07.247 --> 00:13:09.449
To snuff out that light. but jesus said,
00:13:09.516 --> 00:13:10.383
But jesus said, "you are the light.
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.419
"you are the light. you are the light."
00:13:12.485 --> 00:13:14.855
You are the light." just as the candlestick
00:13:14.921 --> 00:13:16.122
Just as the candlestick can give light only
00:13:16.189 --> 00:13:17.524
Can give light only when it is filled
00:13:17.591 --> 00:13:18.892
When it is filled with oil and set on fire,
00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:20.393
With oil and set on fire, the church can give light
00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.995
The church can give light only when it is filled
00:13:22.062 --> 00:13:23.330
Only when it is filled with the holy spirit
00:13:23.396 --> 00:13:24.731
With the holy spirit and set on fire.
00:13:24.798 --> 00:13:27.734
And set on fire. i repeat, the candlestick
00:13:27.801 --> 00:13:29.302
I repeat, the candlestick had only one object,
00:13:29.369 --> 00:13:31.471
Had only one object, which was to cast
00:13:31.538 --> 00:13:32.539
Which was to cast light on the bread.
00:13:32.606 --> 00:13:35.208
Light on the bread. our mission as a church is
00:13:35.275 --> 00:13:37.310
Our mission as a church is to cast light on jesus christ,
00:13:37.377 --> 00:13:39.946
To cast light on jesus christ, who is the bread of life.
00:13:40.013 --> 00:13:41.815
Who is the bread of life. he is the way.
00:13:41.882 --> 00:13:43.350
He is the way. he is the truth.
00:13:43.416 --> 00:13:44.417
He is the truth. he is the light.
00:13:44.484 --> 00:13:45.752
He is the light. he's our blessed hope.
00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:47.354
He's our blessed hope. he is the lamb of god that takes
00:13:47.420 --> 00:13:49.356
He is the lamb of god that takes away the sins of the world.
00:13:49.422 --> 00:13:51.024
Away the sins of the world. his precious blood will
00:13:51.091 --> 00:13:52.659
His precious blood will never lose its power.
00:13:52.726 --> 00:13:54.160
Never lose its power. he's the lion of the tribe of
00:13:54.227 --> 00:13:55.929
He's the lion of the tribe of judah that breaks every chain.
00:13:55.996 --> 00:13:58.164
Judah that breaks every chain. demons tremble at the mention
00:13:58.231 --> 00:14:00.567
Demons tremble at the mention of jesus' glorious name.
00:14:00.634 --> 00:14:02.302
Of jesus' glorious name. he is the great physician
00:14:02.369 --> 00:14:03.970
He is the great physician that heals sick bodies.
00:14:04.037 --> 00:14:05.839
That heals sick bodies. he is the prince of peace
00:14:05.906 --> 00:14:07.507
He is the prince of peace that can conquer the storm
00:14:07.574 --> 00:14:08.942
That can conquer the storm you're going through.
00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:10.443
You're going through. with peace be still,
00:14:10.510 --> 00:14:12.045
With peace be still, your troubles are behind you.

Your troubles are behind you. he conquers fear and doubt.

He conquers fear and doubt. seek the lord while
00:14:16.449 --> 00:14:17.684
Seek the lord while he may be found.
00:14:17.751 --> 00:14:19.119
He may be found. turn on the light.
00:14:19.185 --> 00:14:20.453
[applause]
00:14:20.820 --> 00:14:27.694
The bible says israel
00:14:28.061 --> 00:14:29.996
The bible says israel is a light to the gentiles.
00:14:30.063 --> 00:14:32.632
Is a light to the gentiles. think about that.
00:14:32.699 --> 00:14:33.633
Think about that. most christians have
00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:34.334
Most christians have that turned around.
00:14:34.401 --> 00:14:36.603
That turned around. they think christians
00:14:36.670 --> 00:14:37.304
They think christians brought the light
00:14:37.370 --> 00:14:37.904
Brought the light to the jewish people.
00:14:37.971 --> 00:14:38.905
To the jewish people. that's a mistake.
00:14:38.972 --> 00:14:40.473
That's a mistake. the bible has israel as
00:14:40.540 --> 00:14:41.875
The bible has israel as the light to the gentiles.
00:14:41.942 --> 00:14:43.944
The light to the gentiles. isaiah 42:6 reads,
00:14:44.010 --> 00:14:45.645
Isaiah 42:6 reads, god is speaking to israel
00:14:45.712 --> 00:14:46.913
God is speaking to israel and the jewish people saying,
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:48.882
And the jewish people saying, "i, the lord, have called you,
00:14:48.949 --> 00:14:50.116
"i, the lord, have called you, i will keep you as
00:14:50.183 --> 00:14:51.484
I will keep you as a light to the gentiles."
00:14:51.551 --> 00:14:55.855
A light to the gentiles." here are some bible ways
00:14:55.922 --> 00:14:57.324
Here are some bible ways israel is portrayed as
00:14:57.390 --> 00:14:58.224
Israel is portrayed as a light to the gentiles,
00:14:58.291 --> 00:14:59.893
A light to the gentiles, as a chosen people.
00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:01.661
As a chosen people. god chose israel to be
00:15:01.728 --> 00:15:03.063
God chose israel to be his people to live
00:15:03.129 --> 00:15:04.464
His people to live by his laws and values.
00:15:04.531 --> 00:15:06.299
By his laws and values. the special relationship
00:15:06.366 --> 00:15:07.801
The special relationship is meant to serve as
00:15:07.867 --> 00:15:09.235
Is meant to serve as a model for christians
00:15:09.302 --> 00:15:10.637
A model for christians that would follow them,
00:15:10.704 --> 00:15:12.405
That would follow them, that we are to follow
00:15:12.472 --> 00:15:15.208
That we are to follow the word of god
00:15:15.275 --> 00:15:16.676
The word of god and to obey the lord.
00:15:16.743 --> 00:15:19.679
And to obey the lord. are we doing that as a nation?
00:15:19.746 --> 00:15:21.081
Are we doing that as a nation? absolutely not.
00:15:21.147 --> 00:15:22.983
Absolutely not. david said, "thy word have
00:15:23.049 --> 00:15:24.351
David said, "thy word have i hidden in my heart,"
00:15:24.417 --> 00:15:26.019
I hidden in my heart," that means he memorized it.
00:15:26.086 --> 00:15:27.520
That means he memorized it. "thy word have i hidden
00:15:27.587 --> 00:15:28.688
"thy word have i hidden in my heart that i might
00:15:28.755 --> 00:15:29.923
In my heart that i might not sin against god."
00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:31.391
Not sin against god." consider how america
00:15:31.458 --> 00:15:32.826
Consider how america would be transformed from
00:15:32.892 --> 00:15:34.728
Would be transformed from the moral insanity we are
00:15:34.794 --> 00:15:36.896
The moral insanity we are presently having if we obey
00:15:36.963 --> 00:15:39.065
Presently having if we obey just the ten commandments,
00:15:39.132 --> 00:15:41.735
Just the ten commandments, there would be no murders.
00:15:41.801 --> 00:15:43.336
There would be no murders. there would be no rapists.
00:15:43.403 --> 00:15:44.604
There would be no rapists. there would be no liars.
00:15:44.671 --> 00:15:47.474
There would be no liars. dear god, the halls of congress
00:15:47.540 --> 00:15:48.641
Dear god, the halls of congress would be virtually empty.
00:15:48.708 --> 00:15:50.176
[laughter]
00:15:50.543 --> 00:15:51.644
There would be no stealing.
00:15:52.479 --> 00:15:54.147
There would be no stealing. there would be no abortions.
00:15:54.214 --> 00:15:55.415
There would be no abortions. there would be no
00:15:55.482 --> 00:15:56.149
There would be no sex trafficking.
00:15:56.216 --> 00:15:58.518
Sex trafficking. the work ethic
00:15:58.585 --> 00:15:59.019
The work ethic would be restored.
00:15:59.085 --> 00:16:00.020
Would be restored. six days you shall work.
00:16:00.086 --> 00:16:02.389
Six days you shall work. the only god recognized
00:16:02.455 --> 00:16:04.124
The only god recognized in america would be
00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:05.325
In america would be the god of abraham,
00:16:05.392 --> 00:16:06.359
The god of abraham, isaac and jacob.
00:16:06.426 --> 00:16:07.727
[applause]
00:16:08.128 --> 00:16:13.700
Consider israel's prophetic
00:16:14.167 --> 00:16:15.802
Consider israel's prophetic light forecasting the future.
00:16:15.869 --> 00:16:18.338
Light forecasting the future. the prophets of israel foretold
00:16:18.405 --> 00:16:20.473
The prophets of israel foretold the world what was going
00:16:20.540 --> 00:16:22.175
The world what was going to happen in the world
00:16:22.242 --> 00:16:23.777
To happen in the world in the future from that
00:16:23.843 --> 00:16:25.779
In the future from that moment until messiah comes.
00:16:25.845 --> 00:16:30.016
Moment until messiah comes. gentiles, like me can open
00:16:30.083 --> 00:16:32.485
Gentiles, like me can open this bible and tell you
00:16:32.552 --> 00:16:34.687
This bible and tell you to the last day what
00:16:34.754 --> 00:16:36.322
To the last day what is going to happen on

Is going to happen on planet earth in the future.
00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:39.292
Planet earth in the future. i can tell you what
00:16:39.359 --> 00:16:40.060
I can tell you what is going to happen.
00:16:40.126 --> 00:16:41.561
Is going to happen. i just can't tell you
00:16:41.628 --> 00:16:42.862
I just can't tell you when it's going to happen.
00:16:42.929 --> 00:16:45.732
When it's going to happen. and people who are writing
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.766
And people who are writing books telling you when
00:16:46.833 --> 00:16:47.567
Books telling you when it's going to happen,
00:16:47.634 --> 00:16:51.237
It's going to happen, don't buy the book.
00:16:51.304 --> 00:16:52.338
[laughter]
00:16:52.806 --> 00:16:54.307
The prophets of israel
00:16:55.208 --> 00:16:55.909
The prophets of israel foretold a time when israel
00:16:55.975 --> 00:16:57.777
Foretold a time when israel under the leadership of messiah,
00:16:57.844 --> 00:16:59.813
Under the leadership of messiah, will bring peace and knowledge
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.648
Will bring peace and knowledge of god to the entire world.
00:17:01.714 --> 00:17:06.086
Of god to the entire world. that's in the future,
00:17:06.152 --> 00:17:08.088
That's in the future, not far into the future,
00:17:08.154 --> 00:17:09.456
Not far into the future, but when isaiah said
00:17:09.522 --> 00:17:10.690
But when isaiah said that in chapter two,
00:17:10.757 --> 00:17:12.425
That in chapter two, it was a long way off.
00:17:12.492 --> 00:17:14.027
It was a long way off. a thousand years
00:17:14.094 --> 00:17:14.961
A thousand years of perfect peace is coming.
00:17:15.028 --> 00:17:16.596
Of perfect peace is coming. jerusalem is going
00:17:16.663 --> 00:17:17.831
Jerusalem is going to be the epicenter.
00:17:17.897 --> 00:17:19.065
To be the epicenter. jerusalem is
00:17:19.132 --> 00:17:19.933
Jerusalem is the shoreline of eternity.
00:17:19.999 --> 00:17:21.534
The shoreline of eternity. jerusalem is a city where
00:17:21.601 --> 00:17:23.036
Jerusalem is a city where isaiah and jeremiah penned
00:17:23.103 --> 00:17:25.138
Isaiah and jeremiah penned the principles of righteousness
00:17:25.205 --> 00:17:26.539
The principles of righteousness upon which the foundations
00:17:26.606 --> 00:17:28.541
Upon which the foundations of morality were established
00:17:28.608 --> 00:17:29.943
Of morality were established for western civilization.
00:17:30.009 --> 00:17:31.878
For western civilization. the messiah will rule the world
00:17:31.945 --> 00:17:34.647
The messiah will rule the world with the ten commandments.
00:17:34.714 --> 00:17:35.715
With the ten commandments. he's going to return to earth
00:17:35.782 --> 00:17:37.317
He's going to return to earth as a jewish rabbi.
00:17:37.383 --> 00:17:39.119
As a jewish rabbi. think about that.
00:17:39.185 --> 00:17:39.853
Think about that. israel's light to the world
00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:41.254
Israel's light to the world demanded we believe that
00:17:41.321 --> 00:17:42.856
Demanded we believe that there is one god.
00:17:42.922 --> 00:17:46.292
There is one god. one god.
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.128
One god. that god is almighty god.
00:17:48.194 --> 00:17:50.296
That god is almighty god. that god is the creator
00:17:50.363 --> 00:17:51.731
That god is the creator of heaven and earth.
