Transcript

Welcome to the 6th episode of the Pivot of Ages.  

My name is Bruce 

We looked at the fourth day in the 5th episode, and we will continue that day.  The law and prophets spoke of the redeemer, the Messiah.  A promise was made to Abraham, the father of faith, he did have the law, but he followed God’s voice.

Gen 17:7  And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 

“I will establish my covenant”.  Then it says, “in their generations for an everlasting covenant”, but what generation was he talking about.  Some will say in the law was given it will not be changed.  The prophecies were of a new time where the law would be the our hearts.

Jer 31:32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 

Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

There would be a day this would come about, where Isaiah 9:6 is the pivot point of time, creation, and a generational time frame.  

Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

The sun, stars, the light were created on the fourth day. The fourth day reveals light which corresponds to life and salvation.

Mal 4:2  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 

Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 

Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

Jesus’ ministry would begin on his 30th birthday and would last for 3.5 years.  A high priest has to be 30 years old or older, and here we see Jesus in the high priest roll starting at that age.  

Luk 3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 

Heb 5:4  And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 

Heb 5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 

Heb 5:6  As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 

Jesus would fulfill the work of deliverance spoken of in Isaiah 61, Jesus read those words in the synagogue and his were healing, comforting, and casting out devils.

Luk 4:17  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, 

Luk 4:18  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, 

Luk 4:19  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

Adam and Eve’s sin brought death to mankind, but it was greater than physical death it was eternal death. Jesus would not take away the physical death but he took away the eternal death due to the sin.  When he walked the earth Jesus set individuals free from their torments to show that he is the Mighty God, as he also can set us free from an eternal destruction, which gives hope, and life today. Jesus promised in the law and prophets this change.

Eze 36:25  Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 

Eze 36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 

Eze 36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 

And 

Isa 28:10  For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 

Isa 28:11  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 

Isa 28:12  To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 

The fourth day, a new day would begin in creation, sun, moon and star.  Now in the middle of the promised 7000 years, Jesus would complete the process of the law and w man can receive a new heart.  As Isaiah said, “here a little and there a little”, each day of creation to the final sacrifice of the law in Jesus. 

Joh 1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 

The Mighty God, Everlasting Father would fulfill his words to be the lamb, the sacrifices of the law, to become our Prince of Peace.

 Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

Joh 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

Joh 14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

Here we find the comforter and the peace which is in Isaiah 9:6.  As in times of old God would fill the temple or tabernacle to show his power to the children of Israel.  Here the promise of that power, glory can be inside of us.

Even though Jesus did many miracles many still did not believe that he is the Emmanual, God with us.  That didn’t matter, what matter to our God was that he was going to be the final sacrifice of sin on Calvary.

Joh 19:16  Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 

Joh 19:17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 

This was the day before Passover, which was on the third day of week via the Dead Sea Calendar, Tuesday.  We will go back to that in another episode.  The year began in the middle of the week, the fourth day, and Jesus would be placed in the tomb just shy of 14 days, the hours just before sunset of the 13th day of Abib leading to the 14th day, which was the fourth day of the week.  Another prophetic picture of the fourth day of creation.  

As the sun was to rule the day, so the moon was given to rule the night.  To the follower of Jesus when Jesus was placed in the tomb all seemed but lost to them, darkness.  They thought Jesus would wipeout the Romans and make an earthly kingdom.  They were not considering Isaiah 53.

Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 

Isa 53:4  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 

Isa 53:5  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 

Jesus was still the light in darkness, the fourth day.  At the crucifixion we find darkness but deliverance through an event in the temple.

Mat 27:45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 

Mat 27:50  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 

Mat 27:51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 

Mat 27:52  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 

Mat 27:53  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 

There was darkness, sin, on the earth, but after the darkness light shown and Jesus gives up his spirit.  Even in death Jesus would reveal, or give light to the world, because would not hold him.  There is a veil in the temple where the veil separates the Holy place from the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of testament and mercy seat resides.  The veil splits which allow more than just the high priest to see the ark, the mercy seat.  Once a year the high priest would enter on Yom Kippur for the sins of all, now the veil opens up to mankind the mercy seat, Jesus was the final sacrifice of the law.  

Heb 9:2  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 

Heb 9:3  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 

Heb 9:7  But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 

Heb 9:8  The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 

Heb 9:11  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 

Heb 9:12  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 

Heb 9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 

All can come to the mercy seat of Jesus.  

Back in Matthew, it says after Jesus’ resurrection saints of old resurrected, assuring us of a final resurrection in Jesus.  I am the resurrection and life. Jesus did not stay in the grave, no, he rose after the third day.  Jesus would show himself to the group of disciples on the fourth day after the crucifixion.  The fourth day, sound familiar?  The fourth day sun, moon and star that shine in the heavens. The Bible says:

Mat 28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 

Mat 28:3  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 

Lightning, light, bright made visible and revealed.  The fourth day.

2Pe 1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 

On the fourth day the stars were placed in the heavens, now Jesus shines on all of us to give hope in the night, which means in the fears, on the fourth day.  As Jesus was in the grave three days and three nights, it was the fourth day he rose to shine forth a light of life.

Joh 20:19  Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

The first day there was eternal life in the garden, and it was also when sin came into the world, then looking at man’s history through the days of creation.  Now Jesus brings the final peace to man by his death but then his resurrection, as in the garden there was a sacrifice for sin.  Jesus would be the fulfillment of that promise of the son and his heel bruised but crushing the serpent head.  The fourth day a new light came for all mankind and now in the middle of creation Jesus gives light to us.

Jesus would minister to his followers and ascend into heaven with the promise that he gave of a new man.

Act 1:4  And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 

Act 1:5  For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 

Act 1:7  And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 

Act 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

Act 1:9  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 

Jesus is taken up to heaven and the balance of the sin of man is made right.  The next two days of creation will be the church age which Jesus is the foundation.  Now the center of creation has finished his work, the one outside of time but the middle of time, Isaiah 9:6.

Thank you for listening and I invite you to more of the point of ages in Isaiah 9:6
