"Is Jesus from God or Not?" (Matthew 21:23-46)
What would have been the big 'mystery' for people in the 1st century to label Rome (or even Jerusalem) as Babylon. The Roman Empire's biblical symbol has always been a beast (Danial & Revelation), not a woman. The woman symbol is something new and different...hence, the 'mystery.' Clearly, mystery Babylon was a city that didn't exist in the 1st century when Revelation was written, but would be the #1 city on earth in the 'end times' right before the return of Christ. There is only one city on earth that fulfills everything Revelation prophetically said about her - NYC.
It wasn't people in the first century who labeled Rome "Babylon" in Revelation. It was God. Because the anti type of Old Testament Babylon was finally being revealed by divine revelation.
Nebuchadnezzar's idol was 60 cubits x 6 cubits. That's a 10 to 1 ratio. No statue of a man is built with that ratio. What is built with that ratio is something more akin to an obelisk.
Well the Statue of Liberty is a little over 10m wide and 93m tall... We aren't told in Daniel 3 whether the image is raising a hand, holding a sword (or a torch!) or any other details. Just that it is an image. A likeness. A representation. And an ancient Babylonian document from the time reads, “Beside my statue as king . . . I wrote an inscription mentioning my name, . . . I erected for posterity. May future kings respect the monument, remember the praise of the gods. . . . He who respects . . . my royal name, who does not abrogate my statutes and not change my decrees, his throne shall be secure, his life last long, his dynasty shall continue.”
The Statue of Liberty only has a ratio of 3.1 to 1 ( w/ the raised arm!) and a 6.2 to 1 ratio if one includes the pedestal.
@alphaomegaambassador4978 Well I'm not sure that's accurate (regarding the proportions when including the whole structure) but either way it's beside the point. You are assuming that Nebuchadnezzar would have built his image following conventions that are thought of as realistic today (like Greco-Roman or modern statues). But that's not a valid assumption. Paintings from around the same period show very disproportionate portrayals of human figures in order to communicate qualities the artist wished to emphasize. One pre Attic painting from around 600 BC, for example, portrays a man with proportions approximately 13:1. The fact that Daniel tells us Nebuchadnezzar set up an "image" tells us it was a representation (and verse 19 of Daniel 3 uses the same word, ts'lem, for the king's face!). And 10:1 proportions probably are meant to communicate that Nebuchadnezzar believed his kingdom would last forever (he elongates his gold portion of the image in chapter 2, to occupy the whole image in chapter 3). You can be pugnacious if you want and insist that no one would make a statue like that, but all you're really saying is no one who thinks like you do makes statues like that. You're really just contradicting what the Scriptures say, in that Nebuchadnezzar built a humanoid statue with 10:1 proportions.
I look forward to hearing this... That's an interesting passage
It is! Any takeaways you'd like to share?
The Bible is nothing but a collection of fairy tales. To use it as a source of authority is an exercise in absurdity.
What an absurd and empty assertion. The Bible does not contain a single fairy tale.
@@beacon.church "The Bible does not contain a single fairy tale." The Bible contains many fairy tales, including but not limited to, Adam's Rib, the Tree of Knowledge, a talking serpent, Methuselah, Noah's Ark, the Virgin Birth, and the Resurrection.
More empty assertions. Not a single one of those fits the genre of fairy tales. Unless you mean you think they didn't happen. Then just say you think they didn't happen. If that's your opinion, fine. But it makes one wonder why a teacher from Australia would bother trolling videos from a little church on the other side of the world to share contrary opinions. Are you hoping for a chance to share why you think these things in the Bible never happened? Go ahead, I'm all ears.
Thanks for this great message, Dr. Joe! Really helps me to understand Jesus’ purpose in framing His return to Jerusalem so carefully…we must see Him as He wants to be seen so that we come to Him as we must-on our knees. “Bob from Duncan”… love it! Also, loving the Beacon Sunday Gathering Spotify playlist. Thanks for making this available, EMelville and Beacon Church.
You're welcome Bob! 😁
it's really great blessing
Praise God!
Three things (among many others) that I had never before considered from this passage that Pastor Joe brought out in this sermon: 1) the kindness of the Landowner in going out to hire unskilled workers. He didn’t really NEED those workers (us), but we sure do need to be “hired”. 2) The Landowner acted more like a farmer of people than just the owner of a vineyard. He went to the marketplace so often to look for workers--even the reject workers that no one else would hire. 3) Jesus’ parable of Matt. 20: 1-16 is an answer to Peter’s question in chapter 19:27. Thanks, Joe, for faithfully opening the Word of God to us!
You're welcome. I thank God that it was helpful!

Great explanation on this passage I am learning so much through this study Grateful to God
Glad it was helpful!
Grace upon Grace for Shepherds worthy of the call that is on the Pastor/Elder Great reminder
Thanks Rob!
Hi Joe , any recommendation on a commentary that is not dogmatic on Dispensational /Pre-trib / Pre - mil . Thanks in advance
Sure Rob. The Final Prophecy of Jesus, by Oral Collins. The ESV Expository Commentary: Hebrews-Revelation (Revelation is by Tom Schreiner). Matthew Henry's Commentary. G.K. Beale's Revelation: A Shorter Commentary, and The Book of Revelation, by Robert Mounce. Collins and Henry are closest to my own view but I've learned a lot from the others as well.
Great message Joe , thank you
You are very welcome Rob.
Hi Your Dad encouraged me to walk through this study with you. Grateful to God for your faithfulness to His word, Maranatha Brother

Where does your Authority come from
"The authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed, dependeth not upon the testimony of any man or church, but wholly upon God (who is truth itself), the author thereof; therefore it is to be received because it is the Word of God. ( 2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 John 5:9 )." LBCF 1.4
@Beacon Church For Scripture to have Authority, it must have been written by someone, it didn't just appear out of the sky. Also for the scripture's to have been maintained they must have been maintained by people in Authority. Finally considering the Importance of scripture, it must be told by those who have Authority. Because you have none of the above, why should I believe you. You are not the Authority on scripture, and I can gaurantee you that, God did not make you an Authority on scripture, that Authority belongs to the Catholic Church, and its priests to use scripture to preach and teach the scripture's. Anyone can pick a book any book and say that they have Authority but do not. Authority is something that is passed on from one person to another it is not something that a person can claim for themselves. That belief to claim something you have no right to claim, in this case Authority does not come from God but from satan.
Thank you so much We really blessed by God's word

@peterxuereb9884 Thanks for your follow-up comment, Peter. Let me respond to your points one at a time below. But first let me point out that your rather accusing tone is not appropriate for a Christian. As Paul writes to Timothy, "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will." (2 Tim. 2:24-26 ESV) This indeed is my prayer for you, that you may still come to your senses and escape the devil's snare. This video you commented on features one of our elders teaching on a Sunday morning. I am the so-called "lead pastor," (I prefer "preaching elder"). My name is Joe. It falls to me to reply to your comment. You wrote, " For Scripture to have Authority, it must have been written by someone, it didn't just appear out of the sky." The logic of your point is odd. I mean, obviously the Scriptures were written by someone. That's why they are called "scriptures" (i.e. writings). What makes them authoritative or not is who wrote them. You wrote, "Also for the scripture's to have been maintained they must have been maintained by people in Authority." This is just a false claim. The more than 5000 fragments of ancient New Testament manuscripts in existence prove your claim is false. The fragments come from a very wide geographic area, and while some were found in monastic libraries, etc., some were found in piles of trash. The entire New Testament can be pieced together many times over from the surviving fragments (not to mention the parts quoted in ancient sermons!). See here: biblearchaeologyreport.com/2019/02/15/the-earliest-new-testament-manuscripts/ The widespread geography where NT fragments have been found suggest that local churches and local Christians preserved and copied manuscripts for a long time because those manuscripts were loved and cherished by ordinary Christians. You wrote, "Finally considering the Importance of scripture, it must be told by those who have Authority [sic]." What "must be told"? Do you mean that the Scriptures "must be READ" by people in authority? Why? Or do you mean that the Scriptures "must be PREACHED" by people in authority? If that's what you mean, I actually agree with you. See below. You wrote, "Because you have none of the above, why should I believe you." By "none of the above," I assume you mean to say I don't have any authority. I don't have any authority with regard to you. That's true. But my church has entrusted me with the authority to preach TO THEM, and authorizes me to teach them, submitting to the teaching and preaching only insofar as I preach and teach what the Scriptures say. That is, the congregation has chosen me to preach and teach as an "overseer" (Latin: bishop) in our local congregation. But why should you believe me, as you ask? You shouldn't. You should do what Luke says the noble people of Berea did, "Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." (Acts 17:11 ESV) You wrote, "You are not the Authority on scripture, and I can gaurantee you that, God did not make you an Authority on scripture, that Authority belongs to the Catholic Church, and its priests to use scripture to preach and teach the scripture's. [sic]" Did God "make you an authority" over who has authority to preach the Bible? In other words, how can you personally "guarantee" that I do not have authority to preach and teach the Scriptures? The only way you could "guarantee" such a thing, by your own logic, is if God himself had given you yourself authority to determine who has the right to teach Scripture. "…That Authority [sic] belongs to the Catholic Church, and its priests to use Scripture to preach and teach the scripture's [sic]." I am part of the catholic (universal) church, the Body of Christ including all those justified by grace through faith in His name. But I think you must be referring to the Roman Catholic Church, which is not a true church of Christ but a counterfeit. The counterfeit nature of the Roman Catholic Church is symbolically foretold in Revelation under the image of a great prostitute (instead of a true bride). But even if the Apostle John had not foreseen the rise and career of the apostate church called "the Roman Catholic Church," and if the Apostle Paul had not foreseen the rise and career of the Popes, the "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2, it would be obvious from history that the priests of Rome are no priests of Christ. First, because Christ did not appoint priests. He appointed 12 apostles, plus Paul, and sent them to preach His Gospel (which the priests of Rome abandoned centuries ago). And they planted congregations where they preached the Gospel and they appointed elders in those congregations to oversee the churches and preach the Word. They gave us the New Testament Scriptures to instruct and guide faithful congregations to discern and appoint the men God raises up within congregations to serve as overseers and elders to carry on the ministry of the Word (see 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, 1 Peter 4). Second, because whereas the Scriptures call believers to pray to and worship God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the Roman Catholic Church and its false priests instruct people to also pray to idols. You wrote, " Anyone can pick a book any book and say that they have Authority but do not. Authority is something that is passed on from one person to another it is not something that a person can claim for themselves." You are right that anyone could simply assert they have authority but that does not mean they do have authority. But you say, "Authority is something that is passed on from one person to another…" On what authority do you make this assertion? On what basis does your claim rest? I'll tell you: you think this is true because the priests and Popes of Rome long ago began claiming higher authority than the other churches. In order to buttress their claim they invented a line of succession as "proof" that they are Peter's successors. They have done exactly what you said "claim for themselves" an illegitimate authority. You wrote, "That belief to claim something you have no right to claim, in this case Authority does not come from God but from satan [sic]." As Scriptures teach, those who pastor congregations do not possess authority in themselves. They are not allowed to assert their own opinions and ideas as doctrines. They are merely allowed to explain and apply what is written in the Scriptures. The Scriptures are the holy word of God and as such carry His own authority in every word written. When the Scriptures are faithfully preached and taught, the teaching, if it is faithful to what is written, is binding on those who hear. In other words, as a teaching elder, or pastor, I have no authority at all. Neither do your pope and priests. But the Bible is God's authority. I strive to preach and teach what the Bible says. Your popes and priests have polluted their teaching with "traditions of men" (Mat 15:9; Mar 7:7-8) for centuries. Preaching "another gospel" (2 Cor 11:4; Gal 1:6-7) than the one delivered by the apostles to Christians. As Jude warned, "I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." (Jude 1:3-4 ESV)
We lost audio for 2.5 minutes in the middle of the sermon. See the description above for that part of the sermon taken from Joe's notes.
Excellent teaching, thank you.
You are welcome!
This is a great message… thank you for sharing and for reminding me!
Praise God! And thank you, Casa, for the wonderful work you are doing in Oaxaca!
This is the best study of the book of Revelation I’ve found. Thank you for taking the time to put this detailed series together.
Glad it is helpful!
Hi pastor Joe, great that you are back after a long time. I am happy that you now continue the study of the book of Revelation. I believe that you will finish what you started through God's grace. Greetings and blessings.
Thanks Margreeth! Please pray that I will finish.
I'm really enjoying your series! Lily told me about you, I used to go to the same church as her in Tsawwassen. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to when i get to this point in the study. 🤗

I'm very glad
The people as so called Christian leader has brought some of this c-4 bill back lash on yourselves. How you may ask well if you truly are a called spiritual leader it is NOT your job to force the doctrines of the bible on the world outside the church of God. The rule and regulations are for those whom are part of the house hold of God NOT outsiders. When Jesus was on earth did he condemn sinners whom were outside the house hold of God? The answer is NO but he was constantly getting on to those people whom claimed to be part of God's house hold. He was always get after those who "claimed" to be leaders of the house of God. Christians are NOT called to condemn those whom do not except Jesus as there savior. If we as children of God condemn those in the world how are we to show them mercy and forgiveness if we are constantly pushing them away. This is why people don't want anything to do with Jesus because so called Christians have destroyed the gospel that Christ taught. Mercy, grace, forgiveness, humbleness Love and Christ's salvation.
I'm sorry Matt. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you disagreeing with the statement Adam read in this video?
Hi Joe, There’s a lot of wisdom and thought within your devotionals. Through them I am becoming very much more educated in the historicity of both Old and New Testament times, and I love the sincere way you deliver them. I thank God for them and for you!
Wonderful!
Thank you pastor Joe!

Excellent video. Thank you, I learned many new things about history and in general about these verses.
So glad!
Thank you for all your videos. I am still working my way through them, but, I find them so easy to follow. I love that you take Revelation verse by verse. There is not a lot of video content on this, in my opinion correct,!interpretation of Revelation.
You are so welcome!

CORRECTION: In the sermon I made remark about the meaning of "Immanuel" in Hebrew, saying, "Unless I'm mistaken..." Well, I was completely mistaken! The word is merely 'with-us-is-God", with no verbal root at all. I apologize. The application, however, that God is always with us is valid. - JH
