- At. Mt. Sinai – Israel made a contract with God that if they obeyed
they’d get material blessings – be kings and priests – get land etc…
- But if they disobeyed they’d be punished 7 times for their sins.
- Before each “time” of sin God would send prophets warning Israel to
repent and receive the blessing.
- But they always killed the prophets and chose the punishment.

- But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments; And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor
my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye
break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint
over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume
the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain,
for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and
ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign
over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not
yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times
more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and
|
|

|
- I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: And your
strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her
increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if
ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring
seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. I will also
send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and
destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways
shall be desolate. And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things,
but will walk contrary unto me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you,
and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a
sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when
ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the
|
|
5
|
- pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the
enemy. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall
bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again
by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. And if ye will not
for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will
walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you
seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and
the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. And I will destroy your high
places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the
carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. And I will make
your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I
will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. And I will bring the
land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be
astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will
draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your
cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it
lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the
land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. As long as it lieth desolate it shall
|
|

|
- rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into
their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken
leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and
they shall fall when none pursueth. And they shall fall one upon
another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall
have no power to stand before your enemies. And ye shall perish among
the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they
that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies'
lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away
with them. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of
their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and
that also they have walked contrary unto me; And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their
|
|
7
|
- enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then
accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember my
covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my
covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. The
land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she
lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of
their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and
because their soul abhorred my statutes. And yet for all that, when they
be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will
I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with
them: for I am the LORD their God. But I will for their sakes remember
the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of
Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the
LORD. These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made
between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of
Moses.

- On Jubilee year, probably on the day of Atonement, he read a prophecy
from Isaiah declaring the Jubilee:
- The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of
the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of
the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that
mourn;
- To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit
of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the
planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
(Isa 61:1-3 KJV)

- And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And
when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the
blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable
year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the
minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
(Luk 4:17-20 KJV) (notice Jesus skipped the part about vengeance.
That gap of 2000 years was for the Gentiles to be included.)

- Israel Rejected his message and Jesus will return on the feast of
Trumpets to give Israel their last “time” of punishment.
- The Day of the Lord.
- But our job is to bring God’s Kingdom and the Jubilee to all those in
bondage to Satan!

- He didn’t just tell people how to pronounce God’s name.
- He didn’t just tell people which day was the “real” sabbath.
- He didn’t tell people not to eat pork.
- He didn’t tell people to baptise themselves for the dead.
- He didn’t tell people to say hail Mary’s.
|
|
12
|
- He didn’t just tell the poor God loved them. He fed them.
|
|
13
|
- He didn’t just tell the sick a Kingdom was coming where there would be
no sickness – he healed them.
|
|
14
|
- He didn’t tell the heart broken God loved them.
- He was there friend and loved them.
|
|
15
|
- He cheered up the meek. He didn’t just tell them God was big and tough
and would protect them. He protected them.
|

16

- And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power
against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of
sickness and all manner of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles
are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his
brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and
Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of
Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the
Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus
sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the
Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go
rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely
give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor
scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet
staves: for the workman is worthy of
|
|
17
|
- his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come
into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace
come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And
whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out
of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say
unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and
harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to
the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye
shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony
against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no
thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given
|
|
18
|
- you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother
shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the
children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put
to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in
this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not
have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The
disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is
enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his
lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much
more shall they call them of
|
|
19
|
- his household? Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I
tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is
able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold
for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without
your
|
|
20
|
- Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not
therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore
shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I
also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am
come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's
|
|
21
|
- foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and
followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall
lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. He that
receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the
name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And
whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of
cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he
shall in no wise lose his reward.

- We are to feed the poor.
- We are to bind up the broken hearted.
- We are to free the slaves.
- We are to preach the good news.
- But we are to like faucets of the Holy Spirit too.

23
|
- Teaching the world the bible’s important.
- But how to pronounce God’s name – leaven.
- Which day is the Sabbath – leaven.
- Which race is the “chosen” race – leaven.
- Anything that doesn’t heal the sick and feed the poor is leaven.
- We’re the true church but God doesn’t heal anymore – Run!!!

- For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power
[dunamis], and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what
manner of men we were among you for your sake.

- And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a
word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean
spirits, and they come out.
(Luk 4:36 KJV)

27
|
- For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

28
|
- Be Jesus to people – don’t just tell people about him.
- Like Jackie Pullinger said – they don’t care who Jesus is and whether he
loves them.
- They just care if you care and whether you can help them change or not.
