00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:04.530
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.530 --> 00:00:08.550
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:11.820
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:15.390
and your mind: where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:17.370
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.370 --> 00:00:20.670
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:22.080
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:26.640
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.540 --> 00:00:29.430
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:32.730
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:38.460
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:41.010
Hey, I'm so glad you're with
me. My name is Rick Renner.
13
00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:44.190
Today we're continuing the series called Christmas,
14
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:45.600
The Rest of the Story.
15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.420
And as you can see on the
screen behind me today,
16
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:51.630
we're gonna be seeing what
happened on the day when Jesus
17
00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.620
was dedicated to the Lord
in the temple in Jerusalem:
18
00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:58.680
two starvings of God, who both had a spirit
19
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.460
of prophecy operating upon
them, came into the temple at
20
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:06.450
that very moment and they
begin to prophesy over Jesus.
21
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.130
And that's what we're going to see today
22
00:01:08.130 --> 00:01:10.920
and see what we can learn
from that example to know
23
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.150
how we need to be prepared for the 2nd Coming of Jesus.
24
00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.310
But we're offering you my brand new series,
25
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:18.510
which is called Christmas,
26
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.300
The Rest of the Story.

00:01:24.510 --> 00:01:26.730
It comes in multiple formats.
29
00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:30.630
The subtitle says - Amazing Insights about Christmas
30
00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:32.280
that you've never heard before.
31
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.310
And my friends, there's a lot
of insights in this series
32
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.400
that I'm just sure
you've never heard before
33
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
and it will thrill you
when you hear it or see it.
34
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.910
And this comes with a great study guide so
35
00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:46.710
that you can read all of it while you're
36
00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:48.000
seeing it or hearing it.
37
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.800
We want you to have all the tools you need
38
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:53.190
to really get this teaching
down deep inside you.
39
00:01:53.190 --> 00:01:55.590
And we're also offering
you right now my book
40
00:01:55.590 --> 00:01:58.980
by the same title, Christmas,
The Rest of the Story.
41
00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:02.910
I worked 2-years on this book: not just me,
42
00:02:02.910 --> 00:02:06.870
but we hired an illustrator to take all of this story
43
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:08.010
and to put it on paper
44
00:02:08.010 --> 00:02:11.220
so you can see it while
you're reading about it.
45
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:12.930
And every single page
46
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.560
of this book is fully
illustrated, full color,
47
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.270
it is a feast for the eyes.
48
00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:21.480
When you see it, you're going to be amazed
49
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:22.710
and say - Wow! -
50
00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:26.460
I had no idea this book
would be that beautiful.
51
00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:29.670
It's so beautiful that I'm
sure it need to order a couple
52
00:02:29.670 --> 00:02:31.950
because you're gonna want to
give one of these to your kids
53
00:02:31.950 --> 00:02:34.440
or to your grandkids or to a friend.
54
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:37.800
But you can order all of
these things by going online
55
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.060

56
00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:42.150
And I always tell you
that if you need prayer,
57
00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:43.470
we want to pray for you.
58
00:02:43.470 --> 00:02:46.350
That is a major feature of our ministry.
59
00:02:46.350 --> 00:02:49.830
We really pray for people that reach out to us.
60
00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:53.010
And we have so many testimonies from people who said,
61
00:02:53.010 --> 00:02:56.610
I had no idea that when I called you, I'd be prayed for like
62
00:02:56.610 --> 00:03:00.340
that because the prayers are so powerful.
63
00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.220
And if you need somebody to pray with you, please reach out

to really move in your life and he will.
68
00:03:12.940 --> 00:03:15.370
But I want you to watch this and then I'll be right
69
00:03:15.370 --> 00:03:16.510
back.
70
00:03:16.510 --> 00:03:19.720
In a culture where Santa
seems to overpower the reason
71
00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:22.690
for the season, it's time to
return to the true meaning
72
00:03:22.690 --> 00:03:26.080
of Christmas. In Rick Renner's timeless new book, Christmas,
73
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.380

uncovers the stunning details
74
00:03:29.380 --> 00:03:30.490

75
00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:32.920
you have never heard: details like -
76
00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:35.830
Who exactly was Joseph, the father of Jesus?
77
00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:37.690
Why did God choose Mary?
78
00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:40.540
What was the star that guided the Wise Men?
79
00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:42.880
Who were the wise men who came to see Jesus?
80
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:44.410
How far did they travel
81
00:03:44.410 --> 00:03:47.800
and what was the value of the gifts they brought to Christ?
82
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.650

83
00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:52.960

101
00:04:39.130 --> 00:04:42.880
Don't miss this special
Christmas offer. In the
102
00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:45.010
last program, we saw how Joseph
103
00:04:45.010 --> 00:04:48.220
and Mary brought Jesus to
Jerusalem to the temple
104
00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:50.380
to dedicate him to the Lord.
105
00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:53.260
It was a once and for all dedication,
106
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:55.600
and we are told in Romans 12:1,
107
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.400
in the same way, we need
108
00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:01.540
to present ourselves once
and for all to the plans
109
00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:03.790
and purposes of God.
110
00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:06.910
But in the illustration
behind me today, we see Mary
111
00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:08.290
and Joseph here,
112
00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:11.740
they're standing in the temple when two significant
113
00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:15.850
characters come into the temple at one synchronized moment,
114
00:05:15.850 --> 00:05:19.000
both of them prophetic
individuals who then begin
115
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.940
to prophesy over Jesus.
116
00:05:21.940 --> 00:05:24.460
And these characters were named Simeon
117
00:05:24.460 --> 00:05:29.050
and Anna: two amazing people who were led
118
00:05:29.050 --> 00:05:31.750
by the Holy Spirit at one exact moment
119
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:34.570
to come into the temple
when Jesus was being
120
00:05:34.570 --> 00:05:36.730
dedicated as a baby.
121
00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:39.490
Both of them had long believed
122
00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:43.900
and prophetically forecasted that they would see the arrival
123
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:47.320
of the Messiah before they left this world.
124
00:05:47.320 --> 00:05:49.990
And by studying the examples of Simeon and Anna
125
00:05:49.990 --> 00:05:51.910
and how they waited for
the coming of the Lord,
126
00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:55.690
there's a lot for us to learn
about what we need to do now
127
00:05:55.690 --> 00:05:58.250
as we're waiting for the coming of Jesus.
128
00:05:58.250 --> 00:06:01.970
But who was this Simeon? Again,
129
00:06:01.970 --> 00:06:04.880
when Joseph and Mary came into
the temple to present Jesus
130
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:07.580
to the Lord, Simeon
came into the temple at
131
00:06:07.580 --> 00:06:10.040
that exact synchronized moment.
132
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.420
And the Bible tells us in Luke 2:21
133
00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:16.070
24:
134
00:06:16.070 --> 00:06:19.070
And behold - that word behold is really important
135
00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:20.750
because it means, wow.
136
00:06:20.750 --> 00:06:23.030
Even Luke when he was writing this said, wow,
137
00:06:23.030 --> 00:06:24.950
it is amazing that this happened.
138
00:06:24.950 --> 00:06:26.900
He was really taken back
139
00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:30.170
because this Simeon was a very significant character
140
00:06:30.170 --> 00:06:32.270
and beholder - Wow!
141
00:06:32.270 --> 00:06:35.360
There was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon,
142
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.890
and the same man was just
143
00:06:36.890 --> 00:06:39.800
and devout waiting for
the consolation of Israel.
144
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.010
And the Holy Ghost was upon him
145
00:06:43.010 --> 00:06:46.520
and it was revealed unto
him by the Holy Ghost
146
00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:48.200
that he should not see death
147
00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:50.990
before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
148
00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:52.850
And guess what? In Jerusalem at
149
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:57.170
that very time history shows us there really was a man named
150
00:06:57.170 --> 00:07:00.620
Simeon who was revered for his theological
151
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:02.240
and spiritual acuity.
152
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.360
He was really respected
as a great man of God,
153
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.040
and it was generally believed
154
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.820
that he operated under
a spirit of prophecy.
155
00:07:10.820 --> 00:07:12.410
And because he was honored above
156
00:07:12.410 --> 00:07:15.560
so many people in the great Sanhedrin of that time,
157
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.230
some regarded him to
be the greatest leader
158
00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:20.330
of the great Sanhedrin.
159
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:22.370
But he's an example
160
00:07:22.370 --> 00:07:25.730
of a celebrity type leader
in the city of Jerusalem.
161
00:07:25.730 --> 00:07:29.180
At that time, everyone knew who he was
162
00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:31.670
and respected him for his spirituality
163
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:35.300
and for his inklings
that were so prophetic.
164
00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:37.670
And the Jewish leadership at the time
165
00:07:37.670 --> 00:07:41.510
of Jesus' birth generally
accepted that this Simeon,
166
00:07:41.510 --> 00:07:45.980
this powerful celebrity like
theologian in Jerusalem was
167
00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:49.760
endued with a supernatural
spirit of prophecy
168
00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:54.050
and had a unique God-given
gift to discern the times.
169
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.160
And in Luke 2:
170
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.220
25, we're told the Simeon was waiting
171
00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:01.100
for the consolation of Israel
172
00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:03.710
or for the coming of the Messiah.
173
00:08:03.710 --> 00:08:07.190
Israel had been harassed,
they had been occupied by Rome
174
00:08:07.190 --> 00:08:08.540
for a very long time,
175
00:08:08.540 --> 00:08:09.590
and the coming
176
00:08:09.590 --> 00:08:12.890
of the Messiah would be
a consolation to them.
177
00:08:12.890 --> 00:08:15.710
And the spiritual leadership
in Jerusalem was aware
178
00:08:15.710 --> 00:08:18.290
that Simeon had prophetically declared
179
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:21.260
that God promised he would not see death
180
00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:25.220
until he had seen the
Messiah with his own eyes.
181
00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:27.620
And when writing about this Simeon,
182
00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.800
Luke tells us in chapter 2:25 -
183
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.060
And behold,
184
00:08:32.060 --> 00:08:35.660
there was a man in Jerusalem
whose name was Simeon.
185
00:08:35.660 --> 00:08:38.390
And again, this word
behold carries the idea
186
00:08:38.390 --> 00:08:42.500
of bewilderment, shock, amazement, wonder.
187
00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:45.200
It was as if Luke said - Wow,
188
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.990
can you imagine it?
189
00:08:47.990 --> 00:08:51.020
And then he proceeds to
give us the shocking events
190
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:54.260
that occurred when this renowned Simeon came into the temple
191
00:08:54.260 --> 00:08:58.350
in Jerusalem on the day
that Jesus was dedicated.
192
00:08:58.350 --> 00:09:01.500
But the Bible says Simeon
was waiting, waiting
193
00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:03.090
for the consolation of Israel.
194
00:09:03.090 --> 00:09:05.400
And that word waiting is very important
195
00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:09.420
because it depicts a
hope or an expectation.
196
00:09:09.420 --> 00:09:13.680
It tells us this, Simeon
had his faith engaged.
197
00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:17.730
In fact it means to embrace,
to gladly welcome to fully
198
00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:20.340
and completely take
something without reservation
199
00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.660
or hesitation.
200
00:09:21.660 --> 00:09:23.850
His faith was really engaged.
201
00:09:23.850 --> 00:09:27.480
He was reaching out by faith
to hold the promises of God
202
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.610
and to see them in manifestation.
203
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:31.920
And he was waiting for
the consolation of Israel.
204
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.580
The word consolation describes
comfort, encouragement,
205
00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:37.560
support, or even soulless.
206
00:09:37.560 --> 00:09:40.110
And again, Israel had been so occupied
207
00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:43.020
and harassed, they were
waiting for some comfort
208
00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:45.570
and they believed that
when the Messiah came,
209
00:09:45.570 --> 00:09:47.820
it would change everything.
210
00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:50.520
And Simeon had engaged his faith
211
00:09:50.520 --> 00:09:54.030
that he would see the coming
of the Messiah before he died.
212
00:09:54.030 --> 00:09:56.760
He was waiting for it.
He was waiting for it.
213
00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:01.230
And we know that Simeon had
a spirit of prophecy upon him
214
00:10:01.230 --> 00:10:03.990
because we read in Luke 2:25 -
215
00:10:03.990 --> 00:10:07.860
and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
216
00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:10.468
That word, upon, means the spirit of God
217
00:10:10.468 --> 00:10:12.001
rested on top of him
218
00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:16.740
and even the spiritual leadership in Jerusalem esteemed
219
00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:19.770
him due to his prophetic inklings.
220
00:10:19.770 --> 00:10:23.160
Simeon was a reliable prophetic voice,
221
00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:28.160
and Luke confirms that Simeon
indeed operated under a spirit
222
00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:31.920
of prophecy that operated upon his life.
223
00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:34.260
And Luke 2:26 says,
224
00:10:34.260 --> 00:10:38.940
And it was revealed unto him -
it was revealed unto Simeon
225
00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:42.270
by the Holy Ghost that
he should not see death
226
00:10:42.270 --> 00:10:44.880
before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
227
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:48.300
Then in Luke 2:27, Luke continues
228
00:10:48.300 --> 00:10:52.620
to tell us - And he came by the spirit into the temple.
229
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:56.340
So here we see that Simeon
was operating in the control
230
00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:59.670
of the Holy Spirit and he
was being supernaturally led
231
00:10:59.670 --> 00:11:01.950
by the Spirit to come into the temple at
232
00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:04.260
that precise moment that day.
233
00:11:04.260 --> 00:11:08.460
Then Luke 2:27-29 tells us,
234
00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:11.640
And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do
235
00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:15.180
for him after the custom of the law, then took he
236
00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:20.130
that is Simeon, took him up
in his arms and blessed God
237
00:11:20.130 --> 00:11:24.060
and said, Lord, now lettest thy servant depart in peace
238
00:11:24.060 --> 00:11:26.820
according to thy word.
239
00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:28.830
But notice he says he blessed God.
240
00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:31.890
I just wanna say a word
about this word blessed.
241
00:11:31.890 --> 00:11:36.450
In Greek, it means to bless,
to speak good words, to praise
242
00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:37.980
or to celebrate.
243
00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:41.670
And a blessing is always
verbally expressed.
244
00:11:41.670 --> 00:11:45.930
If it's not verbally expressed, then it's not a blessing.
245
00:11:45.930 --> 00:11:48.780
A blessing is always verbally expressed.
246
00:11:48.780 --> 00:11:53.230
And now Simeon begins to verbally bless God and bless Jesus.
247
00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:57.340
And it must have really
dumbfounded Joseph and Mary
248
00:11:57.340 --> 00:11:58.990
because they knew who this was.
249
00:11:58.990 --> 00:12:02.350
This was a celebrity in
the city of Jerusalem
250
00:12:02.350 --> 00:12:05.680
who was revered for his
prophetic anointing.
251
00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:09.880
Then in Luke 2:28-32, it says
252
00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:14.320
that Simeon said - For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
253
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.520
which thou has prepared
254
00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:18.430
before the face of all people, a light to lighten,
255
00:12:18.430 --> 00:12:23.290
the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel.
256
00:12:23.290 --> 00:12:26.410
Some people assume that
Simeon was an old man
257
00:12:26.410 --> 00:12:28.630
because then he said, Lord,
258
00:12:28.630 --> 00:12:30.996
now let us thy servant depart in peace
259
00:12:30.996 --> 00:12:33.520
according to thy word.
260
00:12:33.520 --> 00:12:37.300
But this verse does not say he was old.
261
00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:39.940
And in fact, we know
from historical sources
262
00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:42.400
that he was not an old man at this time.
263
00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:44.890
It was simply the equivalent
of him saying, you know,
264
00:12:44.890 --> 00:12:48.010
even if I died now at
this point in my life,
265
00:12:48.010 --> 00:12:49.210
it would be all right
266
00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:52.270
because I have seen what
the Lord has promised.
267
00:12:52.270 --> 00:12:53.710
But there's nothing in this verse
268
00:12:53.710 --> 00:12:55.810
that states that he was old.
269
00:12:55.810 --> 00:12:59.200
But all of these events were so amazing
270
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.470
that Luke 2:33 says - Joseph
271
00:13:02.470 --> 00:13:06.880
and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken
272
00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:08.440
of him or of Jesus
273
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:12.700
By Simeon. The word, marveled, means to wonder,
274
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:17.050
to be at a loss of words, and it indicates shock, amazement,
275
00:13:17.050 --> 00:13:18.910
and bewilderment.
276
00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:22.270
Imagine how shocked they must have been.
277
00:13:22.270 --> 00:13:26.380
Joseph and Mary were stunned that this famous
278
00:13:26.380 --> 00:13:29.620
and renowned prophetic individual was speaking such
279
00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:33.310
remarkable words over their newborn son.
280
00:13:33.310 --> 00:13:35.170
And now Joseph
281
00:13:35.170 --> 00:13:38.410
and Mary simply marveled in a speechless state
282
00:13:38.410 --> 00:13:43.300
that this legendary man was
speaking such words over their
283
00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:47.020
newborn. And then suddenly something else happened.
284
00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:51.220
Another person entered the picture whose name was Anna.
285
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:56.220
Anna entered the scene. You might ask - Who is Anna?
286
00:13:56.290 --> 00:14:00.370
Well, we read about Anna in Luke 2:36,
287
00:14:00.370 --> 00:14:04.330
where the Bible says - And there was one Anna, a prophetess
288
00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:06.100
it's another prophet -
289
00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:10.150
and there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of
290
00:14:10.150 --> 00:14:12.790
Phanuel of the tribe of Asher and she was of great age
291
00:14:12.790 --> 00:14:17.260
and had lived with a husband 7-years from her virginity.
292
00:14:17.260 --> 00:14:21.010
So Luke tells us this,
Anna was a prophetess.
293
00:14:21.010 --> 00:14:23.950
So we see two people in this scene
294
00:14:23.950 --> 00:14:25.990
that have a prophetic anointing.
295
00:14:25.990 --> 00:14:27.760
In addition to the spirit of prophecy
296
00:14:27.760 --> 00:14:29.470
that operated upon Simeon,
297
00:14:29.470 --> 00:14:32.020
Anna was another prophetic individual
298
00:14:32.020 --> 00:14:34.750
through whom the spirit of
prophecy was operating in the
299
00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:38.380
city of Jerusalem and
she was renowned for it.
300
00:14:38.380 --> 00:14:41.530
And Luke 2:37 says, she - Anna
301
00:14:42.790 --> 00:14:45.760
was a widow of about four score and four years.
302
00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:49.450
The text really is not clear
as to whether she was that age
303
00:14:49.450 --> 00:14:52.280
or whether she had been
a widow for many years.
304
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:54.590
But verse 37 goes on to say
305
00:14:54.590 --> 00:14:56.510
that she departed not from the temple,
306
00:14:56.510 --> 00:15:00.560
but served God with fastings and prayers night
307
00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:04.580
and day, which means she lived a life of prayer
308
00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:06.500
and intercession.
309
00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:08.960
She prophetically stayed
in touch with the Lord
310
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.540
and prophetically had
proclaimed the coming
311
00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:13.850
of the Messiah was near
312
00:15:13.850 --> 00:15:17.090
and in a very similar fashion to Simeon,
313
00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:19.430
she prophetically forecasted
314
00:15:19.430 --> 00:15:23.630
that the Messiah would soon
bring redemption - and he did.
315
00:15:23.630 --> 00:15:28.310
And the Bible says she
departed not from the temple
316
00:15:28.310 --> 00:15:31.700
and it demonstrates
her devotion to be near
317
00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:34.760
where the Messiah would be revealed.
318
00:15:34.760 --> 00:15:39.200
The original text literally means she did not step away from
319
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.240
the temple grounds.
320
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.130
She had her faith engaged.
321
00:15:43.130 --> 00:15:45.710
She was so expecting to see the Messiah
322
00:15:45.710 --> 00:15:48.560
that she didn't take one
step away from the temple
323
00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:49.910
grounds lest,
324
00:15:49.910 --> 00:15:52.640
she missed the moment when he would appear.
325
00:15:52.640 --> 00:15:57.320
She stayed on site at all times for decades as she waited
326
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.140
with fastings and prayers, night
327
00:16:00.140 --> 00:16:02.780
and day with her faith engaged
328
00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:05.570
that she would see the
Messiah with her own eyes.
329
00:16:05.570 --> 00:16:09.200
And in Luke 2:38, we are told,
330
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:13.070
And she coming in, in that instant, gave thanks
331
00:16:13.070 --> 00:16:15.050
likewise unto the Lord
332
00:16:15.050 --> 00:16:18.290
and spoke of him to all them that looked
333
00:16:18.290 --> 00:16:20.720
for redemption in Jerusalem.
334
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.970
The Bible says in that
instant, it really means in
335
00:16:22.970 --> 00:16:26.120
that very same hour and shows how she
336
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.200
and Simeon were synchronized
in the way that they were led
337
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.920
by the Holy Spirit into the
temple at that very moment.
338
00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:37.280
And in Luke 2:38, it says -
339
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:42.110
That rising up from her prophetic spirit, she spoke of him
340
00:16:42.110 --> 00:16:44.840
to all them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem.
341
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.000
The word looked is the same word,
342
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.850
which we saw in Luke 2:25,
343
00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:53.930
to depict Simeon engaging his faith as he is waiting
344
00:16:53.930 --> 00:16:55.550
for the consolation of Israel.
345
00:16:55.550 --> 00:16:59.060
Now we see that Anna also
embraced the revelation
346
00:16:59.060 --> 00:17:01.970
that God gave her about
the coming Messiah.
347
00:17:01.970 --> 00:17:05.150
And when she saw Jesus, she immediately perceived
348
00:17:05.150 --> 00:17:09.530
this is him, this is the Messiah. The Holy Spirit
349
00:17:09.530 --> 00:17:11.270
let both of them know
350
00:17:11.270 --> 00:17:13.760
that they would see the coming of the Messiah.
351
00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:16.130
They released their faith for it,
352
00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.590
and they experienced precisely
353
00:17:18.590 --> 00:17:22.130
what the Holy Spirit had
communicated to them.
354
00:17:22.130 --> 00:17:26.210
Wow. But what can we learn
from them about how we need
355
00:17:26.210 --> 00:17:28.940
to be prepared for the next coming of the Lord?
356
00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:31.820
Well, 1st of all, we see that we need to engage our faith.
357
00:17:31.820 --> 00:17:35.960
We're going to receive exactly what we believe
358
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.080
and we need to engage our
faith just like they did.
359
00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:40.520
They were believing they wouldn't die
360
00:17:40.520 --> 00:17:42.170
until they saw the Messiah.
361
00:17:42.170 --> 00:17:45.050
I'm believing I'm not gonna
leave this word till I see the
362
00:17:45.050 --> 00:17:46.460
rapture of the church.
363
00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:48.260
We have to engage our faith.
364
00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:51.990
But in 2 Peter 3:3
365
00:17:51.990 --> 00:17:55.500
4, Peter told us - Knowing this first
366
00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:58.620
that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking
367
00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:00.210
after their own lusts
368
00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:03.630
and saying, where is the
promise of his coming?
369
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:05.820
Notice at the first of
this verse, Peter says,
370
00:18:05.820 --> 00:18:09.000
knowing this first. This is really important.
371
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.090
Knowing this - in the Greek tense would be knowing,
372
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:13.440
knowing, knowing, knowing.
373
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.460
It means know this, know this,
know this. Never forget this.
374
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:21.090
The word - first - means as a first matter of priority.
375
00:18:21.090 --> 00:18:24.450
It's something about the last
days Peter wants us to know
376
00:18:24.450 --> 00:18:27.390
and understand so that
we'll be prepared for it.
377
00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:30.300
And then he adds what it is - That there shall come
378
00:18:30.300 --> 00:18:34.890
in the last days scoffers. Even the words, shall come, are
379
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:37.740
so very important because in
Greek there is an indication
380
00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:41.490
of something being widely released in the church:
381
00:18:41.490 --> 00:18:43.590
a new phenomena, there shall come,
382
00:18:43.590 --> 00:18:48.150
there shall be released just
in the last days scoffers
383
00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.220
walking after their own lust
384
00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:54.420
and saying, where is the
promise of his coming?
385
00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:58.200
The word scoffers describes
one who makes fun of another
386
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.030
through mockery.
387
00:19:00.030 --> 00:19:02.820
It depicts those who disdain, scorn
388
00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:05.310
and ridicule the word of God
389
00:19:05.310 --> 00:19:07.350
and mock those who believe
390
00:19:07.350 --> 00:19:10.800
that Jesus is coming again soon.
391
00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:12.270
And Peter warns
392
00:19:12.270 --> 00:19:14.880
that these scoffers are gonna
be released in the church in
393
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.010
the end of the age and
they're going to be saying,
394
00:19:17.010 --> 00:19:19.680
where is the promise of his coming?
395
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.350
And in fact, if you read the entire text, they're gonna say
396
00:19:22.350 --> 00:19:25.350
Oh, people have been saying Jesus is coming forever,
397
00:19:25.350 --> 00:19:26.700
but nothing has ever changed.
398
00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:28.650
So come on, do you really believe this?
399
00:19:28.650 --> 00:19:31.380
Where is the promise of his coming?
400
00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:35.550
And Peter says, this is going
to occur in the last days.
401
00:19:35.550 --> 00:19:39.210
The word last is a form of the Greek word, eschatos.
402
00:19:39.210 --> 00:19:42.210
It's where we get eschatology,
which is the study
403
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:44.310
of End-Times or End-Things.
404
00:19:44.310 --> 00:19:47.550
But the word eschatos, describes the very end of a thing.
405
00:19:47.550 --> 00:19:51.450
It was used to describe the very ultimate end of the earth.
406
00:19:51.450 --> 00:19:54.030
If you've gone here, you can go no further.
407
00:19:54.030 --> 00:19:56.100
It was used in a navigational sense
408
00:19:56.100 --> 00:19:58.110
to describe the last port.
409
00:19:58.110 --> 00:19:59.820
So if your ship has sailed to this port,
410
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:01.950
there's not another port after this.
411
00:20:01.950 --> 00:20:03.360
It is the end.
412
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:07.860
And in this verse, it depicts
the very, very end of the age.
413
00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:11.010
And Peter says, in the
very end of the age,
414
00:20:11.010 --> 00:20:14.790
there will be a releasing
of people who mock us,
415
00:20:14.790 --> 00:20:18.510
who still believe that
Jesus is coming soon.
416
00:20:18.510 --> 00:20:23.130
But Jesus is not slow in returning,
417
00:20:23.130 --> 00:20:27.000
he's just patiently waiting
for people to be saved.
418
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.270
That's what Peter says in verses 8 and 9.
419
00:20:30.270 --> 00:20:35.160
But beloved, be not ignorant
of this one thing that one day
420
00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:36.960
with the Lord is as a thousand years
421
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.890
and a thousand years as one
day the Lord is not slack
422
00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:44.670
concerning his promise as
some men count slackness,
423
00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:47.890
but is long suffering to us-word, not willing
424
00:20:47.890 --> 00:20:49.570
that any should perish,
425
00:20:49.570 --> 00:20:52.930
but that should all
should come to repentance.
426
00:20:52.930 --> 00:20:56.410
I want you to notice that the
word slack appears twice in
427
00:20:56.410 --> 00:20:59.800
these verses and both
times it is a Greek word
428
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:02.890
that describes something
that is tardy, slow, delayed
429
00:21:02.890 --> 00:21:05.140
or late in time.
430
00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:09.160
And the Holy Spirit uses this
word twice to affirm to us
431
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:13.000
that God is not slow, God is not tardy,
432
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.380
God is not delayed.
433
00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:18.160
He is right on time concerning
his promise that he's going
434
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:19.900
to send Jesus again.
435
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:24.900
But God, Peter says, is long suffering - which means
436
00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:28.960
for the sake of those who still need to come to repentance,
437
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.500
God is waiting.
438
00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:34.450
And the end will finally come when
439
00:21:34.450 --> 00:21:37.930
that last person repents and calls Jesus the Lord
440
00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:38.980
of his life.
441
00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.060
And in that very moment, 1 Thessalonians 4:
442
00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:47.830
16-17 says, the Lord himself in that moment
443
00:21:47.830 --> 00:21:50.980
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice
444
00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:53.560
of the archangel and with the trump of God
445
00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:56.050
and the dead in Christ shall rise first,
446
00:21:56.050 --> 00:21:57.550
then we which are alive
447
00:21:57.550 --> 00:21:59.440
and remain shall be caught up together
448
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.950
with him in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
449
00:22:02.950 --> 00:22:07.570
And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
450
00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:10.270
I'm waiting for it.
451
00:22:10.270 --> 00:22:13.720
I've got my faith engaged for it.
452
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.920
At Jesus 1st coming, there were two in Jerusalem
453
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.320
who really engaged their faith
454
00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:23.740
that they would see the coming
of the Messiah with Simeon
455
00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:26.890
and Anna; they prophetically declared it, used their faith
456
00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:30.250
to believe for it and they received it.
457
00:22:30.250 --> 00:22:33.790
And now we see in the very
same way, we have to be tuned
458
00:22:33.790 --> 00:22:35.470
to the voice of the Holy Spirit.
459
00:22:35.470 --> 00:22:38.560
We have to live in
anticipation of Jesus coming
460
00:22:38.560 --> 00:22:41.680
and engage our faith that
we're going to see it
461
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.700
with our own eyes
462
00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:46.630
and experience the rapture of the church and my friends,
463
00:22:46.630 --> 00:22:50.710
a day really is coming soon when Jesus will gather his
464
00:22:50.710 --> 00:22:54.430
people who are anticipating his return.
465
00:22:54.430 --> 00:22:57.280
Jesus really is coming soon.
466
00:23:05.290 --> 00:23:07.360
Someone asked the question - What is weeping
467
00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:08.770
and gnashing of teeth?
468
00:23:08.770 --> 00:23:10.630
That's a very good question.
469
00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:13.150
And Jesus refers to people that are going
470
00:23:13.150 --> 00:23:16.570
to be cast into outer darkness
where there will be weeping
471
00:23:16.570 --> 00:23:17.800
and gnashing of teeth.
472
00:23:17.800 --> 00:23:22.210
And we read about that in Matthew 25:30.
473
00:23:22.210 --> 00:23:24.310
And let me tell you where that phrase comes from.
474
00:23:24.310 --> 00:23:27.730
In the ancient world, if they suspected someone was guilty
475
00:23:27.730 --> 00:23:29.740
of something but they weren't sure, they would bind him
476
00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:32.770
with ropes and they would put him into outer darkness,
477
00:23:32.770 --> 00:23:35.290
which was on the exterior of a city,
478
00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:38.440
and during the night, the lions roamed around
479
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.090
that area roaring,
480
00:23:40.090 --> 00:23:42.100
and the next morning when
they found the person,
481
00:23:42.100 --> 00:23:46.370
if he was still alive,
usually his teeth ground down
482
00:23:46.370 --> 00:23:49.280
because he had been so
fearful during the night
483
00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:52.100
of the consuming roar of the lions.
484
00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:55.850
But if they found him alive, it meant he was not guilty.
485
00:23:55.850 --> 00:23:59.600
So they put this person that was charged into outer darkness
486
00:23:59.600 --> 00:24:03.080
and left him there in a place
of torment to see whether
487
00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:05.450
or not he was really guilty or not.
488
00:24:05.450 --> 00:24:09.170
It really describes torture or torment - weeping
489
00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:11.450
and gnashing of teeth.
490
00:24:11.450 --> 00:24:13.610
Do you really know
the story of Christmas?
491
00:24:13.610 --> 00:24:15.830
Is there more to the story about the birth
492
00:24:15.830 --> 00:24:18.140
of our savior than what you've been told? In this
493
00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:19.190
series, Christmas,
494
00:24:19.190 --> 00:24:22.160
The Rest of the Story, Rick Renner dives deep into the parts
495
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.920
of the Christmas story that
most people have never heard.
496
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:27.920
Rick says - I've studied this story for decades
497
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.100
and I found fabulous treasures no one ever shared with me.
498
00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:33.950
In this series, we explore the Bible history,
499
00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:35.180
historical writings,
500
00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:38.660
and so much more so we can really understand all the events
501
00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.150
that took place surrounding
the birth of Jesus.
502
00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:44.420
Rick answers questions like - Why did God choose Mary?
503
00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:46.340
Was Joseph really a carpenter?
504
00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:49.310
Why was Herod so troubled by Jesus' birth?
505
00:24:49.310 --> 00:24:50.690
Who were the Magi
506
00:24:50.690 --> 00:24:53.360
and what was the estimated value of their gifts?
507
00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:56.840

My friends, I wanna tell you, Jesus
522
00:25:33.590 --> 00:25:34.730
really is coming again.
523
00:25:34.730 --> 00:25:36.350
He came the 1st time
524
00:25:36.350 --> 00:25:39.830
and there were two in Jerusalem who had engaged their faith
525
00:25:39.830 --> 00:25:41.870
that they would see his coming.
526
00:25:41.870 --> 00:25:43.670
I'm engaging my faith.
527
00:25:43.670 --> 00:25:45.080
Are you engaging yours

00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:47.660

and I wanna pray for you and me right now.
557
00:27:02.250 --> 00:27:04.620
Father, in the name of Jesus, we want
558
00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:06.870
to see the rapture of the church.
559
00:27:06.870 --> 00:27:08.370
Help us Lord, to be like Simeon
560
00:27:08.370 --> 00:27:10.800
and Anna, that we would engage our faith
561
00:27:10.800 --> 00:27:15.090
and not be moved by the mockers in the last day
562
00:27:15.090 --> 00:27:16.200
who think we're silly
563
00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:19.710
because we believe in the rapture. Lord, we engage our faith
564
00:27:19.710 --> 00:27:21.900
that it's gonna happen in our life, that we're gonna see it
565
00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:25.920
with our own eyes and experience it in Jesus' name
566
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.910
Amen - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
567
00:27:29.910 --> 00:27:33.810
But please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
568
00:27:33.810 --> 00:27:37.440
of a king is there really is power."
569
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.720
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
570
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:44.100
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
571
00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:46.230
Jesus has to give you.
572
00:27:46.230 --> 00:27:50.310
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
573
00:27:50.310 --> 00:27:54.420
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
574
00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:57.330
and Lord. Wash away my sin
575
00:27:57.330 --> 00:28:00.330
and make me completely new.
576
00:28:00.330 --> 00:28:04.110
I thank you that my sin is removed
577
00:28:04.110 --> 00:28:09.110
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
578
00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:13.650
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
579
00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:15.360
for the rest of my life -
580
00:28:16.230 --> 00:28:17.230
Amen.
