1
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.880
Well, Blockhead Nation, good grief, good afternoon, good evening. Thank

2
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.599
you for whatever time you have to tune into this

3
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:20.039
little podcast. This is your favorite Blockhead the podcast. Some

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.800
of you didn't see this coming. You thought, oh, he

5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:28.359
normally records on Saturdays. This is not a normal routine.

6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:34.200
That's because this isn't a normal week. This is the beginning.

7
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.600
The significance of Palm Sunday needs to be taken into

8
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.079
consideration here. So what I'll do is I will go

9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.320
through several of my references, several of the resources that

10
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.600
I use, just to walk you through when the next

11
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.719
time we speak, it's going to be somber because today,

12
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.599
if we are in New Testament context, Jesus just rode

13
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:11.280
into Jerusalem on the back of a borrowed donkey. One

14
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.000
that's never been written before. Now, this quote comes straight

15
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.159
from god Questions dot Org talks about the triumphal entry.

16
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.760
This is what it has to say. The disciples spread

17
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.040
their cloaks on the donkey for Jesus to sit on,

18
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.400
and the multitudes came out to welcome him. Remember, he

19
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.760
was offered a horse or a donkey, and they were like,

20
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.439
the Savior needs a horse to ride in and he says, no,

21
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.159
this is fine, laying before him their cloaks and the

22
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.760
branches of palm trees. If you didn't know the significance

23
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.319
of the palm trees, there you have it. The people

24
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.760
hailed and praised him as the king who comes in

25
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.920
the name of the Lord. As he rode to the temple,

26
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.719
the same place where he taught the people, where he

27
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.760
healed them, the same place he drove out the money changers,

28
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.200
all the merchants who had turned his father's house into

29
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.240
a dinner thieves. He's making a public statement with this,

30
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:19.039
It's a public claim. It fulfills a prophecy. The prophecy

31
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.879
comes from Zechariah chapter nine, verse nine. Rejoice greatly, old

32
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:32.400
daughter of Zion, shout aloud, old daughter of Jerusalem. Behold,

33
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:36.719
your king is coming to you, righteous and having salvation.

34
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.680
Is he humble and mounted on a donkey, on a cult,

35
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.280
the foil of a donkey. So him doing this fulfills

36
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.960
one of the many prophecies that I could go into

37
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.199
detail with, but I don't have enough time with this episode.

38
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.039
So by the time Blockhead nation that we speak again,

39
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.680
several things will have already happened. That was just Today Monday,

40
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:11.840
there's gonna be a cleansing of the temple. Tuesday is

41
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.240
going to be the final teachings from Jesus. After that,

42
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.599
there's not really a whole lot except if you go

43
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:26.719
to Wednesday, Judas, just as Old Testament prophesied, will sell

44
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.759
out Jesus for thirty shekels of silver, the equivalent of

45
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.520
a slave. By Thursday, you will have had the last Supper.

46
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.840
By Friday we'll have the trial. That's really where I

47
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.599
would like to pick up for the rest of this

48
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.879
episode is there's a consultation that's held with the elders

49
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.039
and scribes during this time. It's officially daylight by the

50
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.759
time that happens. If you look at Luke twenty two

51
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.400
Versus sixty six through seventy one, if you happen to

52
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.120
have a Bible, that would be helpful, because by now

53
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.840
Judas has betrayed him. Most of the disciples have scattered,

54
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:14.599
just as the Old Testament said they would, just as

55
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:24.000
Jesus proclaimed they would. By now Peter will deny Jesus

56
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.920
three times, and so it's officially daylight where we hold

57
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:34.279
the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin. This comes from

58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.839
a commentator that I pulled off a blue Litterbible dot

59
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.040
org if that helps you. This is what he has

60
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.240
to say and I quote. This trial was held immediately

61
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.040
in the morning for good reason. The detail that Jesus

62
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.439
was delivered to pilots for him early in the morning

63
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:55.480
is significant. You're going by historical accuracy for the traditions.

64
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.879
It was necessary for the Sanhedron to bring its business

65
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.079
to pilot as soon after dawn as possible because the

66
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.680
working day of a Roman official began at the earliest

67
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.680
hour of daylight, so legal trials in the Roman Forum

68
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.279
are customarily held right after sunrise. There's more to it

69
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:19.639
than that. It is not customary for Jews to go

70
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.759
around handing out capital punishment by this time. Because the

71
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:30.720
Roman authority is in place. They can't just go around

72
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.279
killing their citizens. That's bad for business, it's bad for

73
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.560
the surrounding territories to see that. It's just bad for

74
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.680
the mediterrane as a whole to realize what they're doing.

75
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.560
So they bring it before a local provisionary governor Pilot

76
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.959
who really doesn't want anything to do with this. There's

77
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.199
another website I use often called stepbible dot org that

78
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.639
goes into detail about all of this. If you ever

79
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.879
want to see a chapter of the Bible, you can

80
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.920
go to stepbible dot org, pull up a chapter and

81
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.560
hit the word summary and they'll tell you better than

82
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.759
I can. So if you fast forward a little bit

83
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.639
eventually after the questioning which will fulfill prophecy, it will

84
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.720
fulfill exactly what happened in Isaiah chapter fifty three. How

85
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.680
the suffering servant, the sacrificial lamb never opens his mouth.

86
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:39.920
That amazes pilot. You're being charged defend yourself, and he doesn't.

87
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.959
It's also customary on the feast day to release a prisoner,

88
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:52.240
so pilot offers to release Jesus, and then who's brought forward?

89
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.920
The chief priest have convinced the crowd to ask for

90
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.920
a different prisoner. The chief priests say, release bar Rabbit.

91
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.680
And this is coming from Stipbible dot or. This sord

92
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.399
has to say about that. The crowd persistently demanded for

93
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.680
Jesus to be crucified, So a pilot released Barrabus and

94
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.360
had Jesus flogged and sent for crucifixion. The soldiers who

95
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.560
were keeping Jesus put a purple robe on him in

96
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.920
a crown of thorns, and then they proceeded to mock,

97
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.000
to spit and beat him. All of this is fulfilling

98
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.160
scripture from old Testament that I wish I could get

99
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.879
into today. Then they addressed him back in his old

100
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.759
clothes and led him to the crucifixion. Because he fell

101
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.160
several times, and because he was slowing up business, they

102
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.560
forced a man named Simon, not Simon, Peter, Simon of

103
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.279
Syene to help carry Jesus's cross. It's easily somewhere between

104
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.120
seventy five and one hundred pounds. And they get to Golgotha,

105
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.199
the place of the skull. It either looked like a

106
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.920
skull at the time or it was surrounded by all

107
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.759
the skulls who though have been those have been persecuted.

108
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.319
But we know this is the location and that it

109
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.759
took place. Jesus is actually going to refuse wine mixed

110
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.240
with murr they offered to him. You gotta remember, even

111
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.279
though murr is extremely bitter, and this mixture, it's almost

112
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.439
like figuratively in a way, Jesus has already separated the

113
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.560
sheep from the goats. Because the Pharisees are laughing at him.

114
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.600
That the believers are still giving him a chance. If

115
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.279
you look at what murr was us, it was often

116
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.240
used in a medicinal practice. They're going, please take this,

117
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:36.000
take this medicine. At least it will help you. He

118
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:40.759
refuses it. I have to endure every bit of this,

119
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.720
as I said to my father in the garden of Gethsemone.

120
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.279
Any other way, there's any other way to let this

121
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.799
cut pass, but not my will, but yours be done.

122
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:57.000
So he refused the murr. He refused the mixture that

123
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:02.600
was in Old Testament too. David mentions this in his Psalms.

124
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.480
So they crucified men and two robbers next to him

125
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.360
at nine am on the day of the Sabbath, and

126
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:15.159
they cast a lot of his clothes. That's prophetic as well.

127
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.600
And the charge brought against him is that you are

128
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.639
the king of the Jews. There is no other king

129
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:29.480
except Caesar. Even the robbers crucify him, except for one

130
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:36.200
that simply says, remembered me. So at one point he says,

131
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:40.519
I thirst. One man offered wine vinegar on a sponge

132
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:44.320
for Jesus to drink with a loud cry. Jesus is

133
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.480
gonna say it's finished. And what most of the time.

134
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.799
If you read Israel's account of this, they mentioned how

135
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.799
this fell upon a lunar day because they still celebrate

136
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.639
the new moon according to the lunar calendar. That this

137
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.480
was an eclipse that fell upon all of Israel proven

138
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.360
that this was not in Jesus, this was some prophet. Well,

139
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.200
if you look at how long that that eclipse lasted,

140
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.879
it's exactly a scripture said not to mention. You're not

141
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.200
wanting to talk about the tearing of the veil. You

142
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.279
know that that's kind of an important detail of doubt.

143
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:26.559
The temple curtain being torn into and the centurion who's

144
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.919
observed Jesus, who believes truly this is the son of God.

145
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.360
So there is so much blockadnation to unpackage here. So

146
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.399
if I can't go back, I have a commentary from

147
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.080
a guy by the name of Mark Strauss, because Jesus

148
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.679
gives this evasive answer when he's asked are you the

149
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.559
king of the Jews? When he says you say so,

150
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:55.600
According to Marx testimony, it probably means something like this.

151
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.879
That is how you would say it in the earthly terms.

152
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.159
But my kingship is not what you think. I love

153
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:09.000
what this says from Strauss. Here's his words. When the

154
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440
chief priests continue to accuse him, he remains silent. Pilot

155
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.799
is surprised that Jesus will not defend himself, so he

156
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.480
has Aren't you going to answer? But Jesus doesn't reply

157
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:27.279
because it fulfills Isaiah fifty three, verse seven. He was

158
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:32.600
oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his

159
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.559
mouth like a lamb that has led to the slaughter

160
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.840
blockad nation. How many prophecies did Jesus fulfill? I just

161
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.200
don't have time. But as far as burying our sins,

162
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.600
that's all of Isaiah fifty three the suffering Servant, But

163
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.440
I could bring up a few for you today, just

164
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.879
as the next time we speak, he will have been killed.

165
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:04.519
He was allowed a borrowed donkey to ride into victory,

166
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.519
and he's gonna be given a borrowed tomb of Joseph

167
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:13.440
of Arimathea. So I guess I could start there. If

168
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.759
we look at verse seven, the suffering servant is like

169
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.440
a lamb that does not defend itself. Jesus speaks a

170
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:23.240
few times during the trial, but he doesn't offer a defense.

171
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:31.600
The suffering servants people did not protest his death only

172
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.919
pilot protests it. He's like, what do you want me

173
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.039
to do with this man? What did he do? But

174
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.960
I'll wash my hands on my feet of this. The

175
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.519
suffering servant is gonna die with the wicked. Well, didn't

176
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.120
Jesus die between two thieves. This is where I can

177
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.440
pull in the suffering servant being buried in the grave

178
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.360
of a rich man. If you look at Isaiah fifty three,

179
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.279
verse nine, and they made his grave with the wicked

180
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.960
and with a rich man in his death, although he

181
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.679
had done no violence and there was no deceit in

182
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.159
his mouth. An opponent of Jesus, who had money, gives

183
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.039
up his own grave and says, you can use my tomb.

184
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.679
God ordained that the suffering servant is going to die.

185
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:32.360
All through Isaiah fifty three. The suffering servants sacrifice offers

186
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:40.120
forgiveness for sins. That's us blockhead nation. Jesus's sacrifice offers

187
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.399
forgiveness for what we did. It should have been me.

188
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.960
I should have been the one on the cross. I

189
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.240
should have been the one gain a trial and found guilty.

190
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.480
In a way, I'm bravis looking at Jesus knowing that

191
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:02.320
I got off the hook. Friend's servant intercedes for his abusers.

192
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.480
What did Jesus say when he was hung on the cross?

193
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:15.000
Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do. God

194
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:19.879
also promised that a great light would pierce the darkness

195
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.679
of Israel and the nations. That's Isaiah sixty. This is

196
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.960
straight from the Old Testament. A rise, shine to you,

197
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.000
for your light has come, and the glory of the

198
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.720
Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover

199
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.759
the earth and thick darkness the peoples. But the Lords

200
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.960
will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen

201
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:49.039
upon you and nations. So come to your light and kings,

202
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:56.879
to the brightness of your rising Luke two, verse thirty two.

203
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.399
A light for revelation to the gentle and for glory

204
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:08.120
to you people of Israel. Friends. That's just a few

205
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.120
of the prophecies that he fulfills. The righteous Branch, the

206
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.039
stump of Jesse, the root of David, the greater David,

207
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.679
the lineage that never should have happened. But there's a

208
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:29.960
virgin birth. And there is another great prophet by the

209
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.360
name of John the Baptist, who is in the womb

210
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.720
at the same time. So when we go to Zechar

211
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:42.559
Aryah's house. Mary is with child, and Elizabeth is with child,

212
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:51.600
and John the Baptist leaps in the womb. Behold when

213
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.639
Jesus is baptized at the Jordan. Think of what John

214
00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:01.720
the Baptist did there. Behold the lamb to take away

215
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.759
the sins of the world. I'm not worthy to baptize you,

216
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.559
but you must because the baptism not just of water.

217
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.240
It's of Holy Spirit and fire. That's all throughout scripture.

218
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.200
If you look to the end Revelation chapter five, there's

219
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.080
so much beauty in that because John starts to weep.

220
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.840
Who is the one that is worthy to open the scroll?

221
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.080
And it says that an elder comes to him. We

222
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.159
don't know who this elder is. It could be John

223
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.279
in his later years that scholars have debated that it

224
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.600
could be just one of the twenty four that says, John,

225
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.559
get up, Look who's coming. Friends. I would like to

226
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:50.279
believe that's John the Baptist. Remember he's beheaded long before

227
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:56.559
Jesus is killed. He uses the same wording in Revelation five.

228
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.200
Behold the Lion of Judah. Remember Jerusalem is Judas capital.

229
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:10.119
Remember where he rides into glory on the donkey. One

230
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.720
day he's gonna come back. He's going to rise up

231
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.079
on a white horse, and that sword is going to

232
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.119
come out of his mouth. You'll see the royal diadem.

233
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:24.440
You'll see what it's written on his clothing that says

234
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:28.039
King of kings and Lord of lords. That's all I

235
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.839
want Blockhead Nation to be in that army, to be

236
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.240
able to have whatever you give me. I don't care

237
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.759
if it's a horse, on't care if it's a donkey.

238
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.000
I don't care if I'm on foot. I just want

239
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.880
to be on your army on that day when you

240
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.200
come back and you establish your millennial kingdom and you

241
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.200
slay the nations just as you said you would. Because

242
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.200
I don't understand his kingship either, but I trust his

243
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:57.119
will be done. I pray that you see the beauty

244
00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.920
and that as I read one last thing to you.

245
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.079
John MacArthur put it this way in his book The

246
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:07.920
Supremacy of Christ, the writer of Hebrews narrows his focus

247
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.240
from the vastness of christ universe to his people. Jesus

248
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.559
by himself purged our sins. That's Hebrews, Chapter one, verse three.

249
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.680
Jesus by his atoning death brought about the purging or

250
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.440
cleansing of the sins of all believers. That is what

251
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.960
we needed most, and only the Lord Jesus could meet

252
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.680
that need. The Old Testament priests offered animal sacrifices over

253
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:38.160
and over, but those could not ultimately remove sins Hebrews,

254
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.559
Chapter nine, verse twenty eight. So Christ also having been

255
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.799
offered once to bear the sins of many, keeping with

256
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.160
the Old Testament law and the sacrificial lamb that had

257
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.359
to be spotless, the final New Covenant sacrifice has to

258
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.720
be a perfect, sinless substitute to pay the price of

259
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:02.160
sin for others. He had to be perfect, or he

260
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.240
would have likewise owed the price for his own sins,

261
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.880
thus been unacceptable when he said it is finished. If

262
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.039
you look at the original Hebrew translation, that means paid

263
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.119
in full. And since no one in the world is

264
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:20.640
without sin, the substitute had to be someone from outside

265
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.119
the world yet to die in the place of men

266
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.279
and women, he still needed to be the son of Man.

267
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.359
I pray that you chew on that this week. The

268
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.640
next time we speak blockad Nation, it's gonna be a

269
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.839
time when he's in the tomb waiting to rise again

270
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:46.200
for the third day to fulfill all scripture. Surely as

271
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:51.319
the coming of the dawn he will rise. Love you,

272
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.680
Blockad Nation. We'll catch you next time.
