00:00:40 to say this is the word of the lord at which point i would appreciate very much if you would

00:00:44 respond by saying thanks be to god one final time our text for today is ezra chapter 3 verses 8

00:00:51 through 13, the Bible says this. Now in the second year after their coming to the house of God at

00:00:57 Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Yeshua, the son of Josedach,

00:01:05 made a beginning together with the rest of their kinsmen, the priest and the Levites and all who

00:01:11 had come to Jerusalem from the captivity. They appointed the Levites from 20 years old and upward

00:01:17 to supervise the work of the house of the Lord. 0.71

00:01:21 And Yeshua, with his sons and his brothers,

00:01:24 and Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah,

00:01:28 together supervised the workmen in the house of God,

00:01:31 along with the sons of Hinnadad and the Levites,

00:01:34 their sons and brothers.

00:01:36 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord,

00:01:40 the priests, in their vestments, came forward with trumpets,

00:01:43 and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals to praise the Lord according to the directions of

00:01:50 David king of Israel. And they sang responsibly, praising and giving thanks to the Lord, for he is

00:01:57 good, for his steadfast love endures forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great

00:02:04 shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

00:02:09 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of father's houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy, so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping.

00:02:30 For the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away.

00:02:35 This is the word of the Lord.

00:02:37 All right, please be seated. Let's go ahead and dive right in. If there were two main points from

00:02:42 the text today that I would like to, by the grace of God, elevate for our hearts and minds, they

00:02:47 would be found primarily in verse 11 and verse 12 of our text. Verse 11 and verse 12. In verse 11,

00:02:55 we see the responsive worship. It's not an arbitrary worship. It's not a random worship.

00:03:01 It's not a worship that's defined by the preferences of men,

00:03:06 but it is a worship that is fitting for the occasion.

00:03:09 It's responsive praise.

00:03:11 There's a particular event that's taking place within the providence of God,

00:03:15 namely the laying of the foundation of this second temple,

00:03:19 the first temple that was built by King Solomon.

00:03:23 All the materials gathered by his father, David,

00:03:25 but the building done under the kingship of Solomon,

00:03:29 that temple has been destroyed.

00:03:31 Israel had been taken captive for 70 years in Babylon. 0.92

00:03:35 But in God's providence, Babylon was sacked and overcome by the Persians and the Medes. 0.83

00:03:41 And one of these kings rises to power, namely Cyrus. 0.89

00:03:45 Cyrus, under God's providence, decides to send the Jews out of captivity back to Israel, back to Jerusalem, 0.65

00:03:53 to rebuild the city, and most particularly to rebuild the temple. 0.83

00:03:57 So this foundation of this second temple now has been laid, and with the laying of the foundation of the house of the Lord, there is fitting, appropriate praise and worship and singing.

00:04:12 The people are singing and worshiping the Lord in response to what God has just now done, which again is the laying of the foundation of this rebuilding project, the second temple.

00:04:23 The first has been destroyed, but now the temple being built the second time.

00:04:27 So that's verse 11.

00:04:28 We see the song.

00:04:30 We actually get some of the lyrics.

00:04:32 Perhaps it's the chorus of this particular song.

00:04:35 But we get some of the content, the substance, the lyrics of the song that is fitting for the occasion

00:04:41 that Israel is singing in worship and praise as the foundation of the second temple has been laid.

00:04:47 And the lyrics are as follows.

00:04:52 And they sang responsibly, praising the Lord according to the directions of David, the king of Israel.

00:04:57 they sang giving thanks to the Lord and this is what they sang for he is good for his steadfast

00:05:04 love endures forever toward Israel so I want us to focus on that the words of the song that

00:05:10 they're singing especially that last phrase his steadfast love endures forever toward Israel so

00:05:18 we'll come back to that in a moment the second point from verse 12 of our text that we'll focus

00:05:22 our attention on is that as some are praising some are singing some are rejoicing others at the very

00:05:30 same time are weeping again so that it's fresh in your minds verse 12 of the text says but many of

00:05:36 the priests and levites and heads of fathers houses old men who had seen the first house

00:05:42 right so it's been approximately 70 years now and there's a debate to be had within the history

00:05:48 of whether or not the temple was immediately destroyed.

00:05:52 Some say that it was destroyed approximately maybe 14 years

00:05:56 or even up to 20 years after Jerusalem was taken captive. 0.87

00:06:01 So 70 years, certainly, no debate about that, 0.63

00:06:03 70 years of captivity for Israel and Babylon.

00:06:06 But when Israel was taken captive by Babylon,

00:06:10 the temple didn't necessarily get destroyed at that same time,

00:06:14 but rather the temple may have been left intact for another decade and a half or so.

00:06:20 So it could have been 70 years since the temple was destroyed,

00:06:23 the previous temple built under Solomon,

00:06:25 or it could have been perhaps 55 years.

00:06:28 The point is this, there are some at this historic moment,

00:06:32 as the foundation of the second temple is being laid,

00:06:36 who were alive and witnesses,

00:06:38 they actually remember the glory of the first temple that was built under Solomon.

00:06:43 and these individuals the text says that they began to weep with a loud voice when they saw

00:06:50 the foundation of this house being laid so some are shouting with joy right shout on pray on

00:06:57 we're gaining ground this is a win we're heading in the right direction right laying the foundation

00:07:02 of the temple is a vast improvement in comparison comparison and contrasting i mean it's a vast

00:07:10 improvement from being captives in babylon right so so all things considered we went from captivity

00:07:15 and a strange land to now being in our homeland our heritage and resourced by a pagan king

00:07:23 to rebuild a house for god this is a massive win a massive victory step in the right direction

00:07:29 let's sing responsibly all right the the correct appropriate response is joy rejoicing worship and

00:07:36 praise. But some of the old guys, not to pick on the old guys here today, but these old guys,

00:07:43 at least, you know, make it particular to them. But some of the old guys, instead of worshiping 0.77

00:07:48 God for a great victory, a great step in the right direction, they're whining and crying

00:07:56 and mourning because back in my day, things were better. All right. Yeah, this is good,

00:08:04 you young bucks it beats captivity but it's not the america i used to know not the israel i used

00:08:12 to know not the temple uh-huh yeah you're right yeah it's it's it's not america in the 1600s

00:08:18 underneath the puritans and the pilgrims and the covenanters and the 13 colonies 10 of which

00:08:25 actually declared a state allegiance a formal allegiance to a particular christian church

00:08:30 yeah it's not that good you're right um but you got to start somewhere so the second point of the

00:08:36 sermon um if i was to title it anything would be you got a larp before you can fly okay now again

00:08:43 back to the old guys some of you guys i'll use this language from time to time and i was thinking

00:08:46 about it this week and i was like i should probably explain myself because this is um it's not your

00:08:51 fault it's my fault i'm using super nerdy dumb language so it's it's on me so i'll take full

00:08:56 ownership. But that word LARP, for anybody who's not familiar with it, it's an acronym. Capital L,

00:09:02 capital A, capital R, capital P. And it stands for live action role-playing, which is a somewhat

00:09:10 recent phenomenon that gives you a really good idea of the state of the culture and society,

00:09:16 which is not positive. It's where grown adult men, and sometimes women, who typically don't

00:09:24 have a job and live in their mother's basements, put on costumes and have plastic swords and go

00:09:31 into a field and pretend to be a part of some kind of heroic whatever. It's shameful and it

00:09:41 should be out of love. For their sake, it should be relentlessly mocked. So that's the correct

00:09:47 response, right? Praise responsibly. If you see live action role playing, you point, you laugh,

00:09:53 and that is the correct response. It honors the Lord. It's loving towards them. Hopefully,

00:09:58 they'll get a job, move out of their mother's basement, and do something productive. That said,

00:10:03 you know, the LARP, L-A-R-P, has been like many things, right? The matrix, you know, the blue

00:10:09 pill and the red pill. You've heard me maybe talk about that. That's just a popular thing in

00:10:13 internet, you know, jargon to say, you know, some people are taking the blue pill and they're just

00:10:18 oblivious. All that means is you're oblivious. You're choosing to be naive. You're the

00:10:23 ostrich with its head stuck in the sand. You know, everything's burning down. You're the news

00:10:28 reporter from CNN, right? In 2020, he said, mostly peaceful riots. And there's a building burning

00:10:33 down right behind you. You know what I mean? That's the blue pill. And then the red pill would

00:10:39 be, as it pertains to the matrix, is just, I'm awake. I'm awake. And then that became, you know,

00:10:45 there's splinters and shoot off into, you know, views of men and women. That actually is really

00:10:50 accurate. They get the problem right, this red pill group saying, okay, the awakened principle,

00:10:56 we're going to apply that particular to gender and men and women. And they actually, I think,

00:11:02 rightly diagnose the problem, but they have absolutely no solutions. Their solution is

00:11:08 basically just give up, you know, or just live for your own selfish pleasure and those kinds

00:11:15 of things. And then a lot of Christians, to be fair, on the other side, a lot of Christians,

00:11:18 as it pertains, again, to men and women, 0.55

00:11:20 they have solutions but won't recognize that there's any problem.

00:11:25 They're like, yeah, get married, and things are great. 0.96

00:11:28 And most women in society today are wonderful and fear the Lord,

00:11:33 which is not true.

00:11:34 The reality is that we should, as Christians,

00:11:37 older men should be training up younger men to give of themselves,

00:11:42 their whole lives, be willing to lay down their life for a wife,

00:11:45 to win a bride, all these things.

00:11:46 and we should accurately inform them

00:11:50 that the entire legal system of our nation

00:11:53 is against men

00:11:54 and that the moment that he marries

00:11:56 and especially the moment that if God would be so gracious

00:11:59 God gives him a child

00:12:01 the moment that he marries and God gives a child 0.98

00:12:04 legally he is the slave of the woman. 0.97

00:12:07 Everything culturally, legally, economically 0.83

00:12:10 is on her side.

00:12:11 She can destroy his life in a moment

00:12:14 and it's all over.

00:12:17 So that also is a part of discipleship.

00:12:20 But then the other part of discipleship that the red pill guys get wrong

00:12:23 is that you then tell him, but be a man.

00:12:28 You don't tell him, and so all hope is lost.

00:12:32 It's all over. That's not helpful.

00:12:34 You say, this is what the Bible says.

00:12:35 So find a good woman who has a long history and track record of faithfulness

00:12:41 in a Bible-preaching local church.

00:12:44 Ask her if she's heard the word patriarchy before.

00:12:47 See if she throws up a little bit in her mouth. 0.99

00:12:49 If so, break up. 0.59

00:12:52 Right? 0.78

00:12:52 But if she actually is like, yeah, I love godly male headship. 0.99

00:12:57 Then you put a ring on it as fast as you can before some other guy swoops her up.

00:13:02 So that's, you know, anyway, so that's red pill, blue pill, all these kind of things.

00:13:06 LARPing, back to LARPing.

00:13:07 So today we're giving a little bit of, some pastors give you Hebrew and Greek.

00:13:11 I'm giving you Twitter.

00:13:13 her. This is a little silly. But the whole point is, so LARPing, as it literally plays out, is 0.88

00:13:21 grown men who live in their mother's basements, you know, with plastic swords and costumes in a

00:13:25 field, you know, pretending. But it's been, that word, or acronym, it's been applied in other ways,

00:13:31 and I think it is a useful, because it provides a useful visual. It gives everybody can, oh, I see

00:13:37 what you're saying. So when I, you know, say you got a LARP before you can fly, one of the things

00:13:41 it's come lately is a lot of people will criticize Christians like you, like me, like our church,

00:13:49 who are saying Christendom was a good thing and we should seek to reestablish it. And then you

00:13:57 take baby steps, right? We're the minority. You know, it's not like you can't just change

00:14:07 everything overnight. Christians right now don't have that power to do so. Dusty Devers, God bless 1.00

00:14:14 him. He's doing great things. He's in office. He was duly elected. He's putting forward bills and

00:14:20 he's doing as much as he can righteously. And so that's a lot of people. Here's the thing. So there

00:14:25 are a lot of, I'm not talking about pagans who hate Christ. I'm talking about Christians who hate 1.00

00:14:29 Christ. And they exist. That's a massive category, right? At least professing Christians. Otherwise 1.00

00:14:36 it's a theological oxymoron, but they profess Christ. Some of them are not Christians and they

00:14:42 really do hate Christ. Others actually are Christians, but they're incredibly deceived and

00:14:47 ignorant. And so they don't actually hate Christ, but they're spewing rhetoric against faithful 1.00

00:14:53 believers that is essentially, if it was logically played out, if that Christian grew up and matured,

00:14:59 they would recognize this is a direct contradiction to the Christ who I claim to love. There are some

00:15:03 Christians right now who would look at someone like Dusty Devers and say, you're LARPing. Putting

00:15:08 forward a bill to abolish no-fault divorce in 2024 in these United States of America, that's LARPing.

00:15:18 So that's what I mean with the second point of the text. Okay, but you got to LARP before you can fly.

00:15:23 In that sense, LARPing is not being a loser, right? A 35-year-old man who lives in his mother's 0.97

00:15:29 basement, you know, and is dressing in costumes and swinging plastic swords in the woods. No,

00:15:34 in this sense, you doing your homestead in your backyard, God bless you. God bless you. And if

00:15:42 everything crumbles, you're going to be in trouble and that garden is probably not going to save you.

00:15:51 But still, God bless you for homesteading in your backyard. You seeking to be financially

00:15:56 independent as far as it depends on you. Like Paul, the apostle Paul counsels the slave. He says, 0.78

00:16:03 but if you can avail yourself to gain your freedom, then do so. Likewise, if economically

00:16:08 and in our current market and economy, if you can be self-employed, if you can be your own boss,

00:16:14 avail yourself to do so. And will that change the world, that one action overnight? No,

00:16:20 but it's good and anybody who says that's larping one i would say no it's not but two even if you

00:16:29 think it is well then see point a you got a larp before you can fly you've got to start somewhere

00:16:36 is what i'm saying and sadly there are many christians in the evangelical church like these

00:16:41 older heads of households verse 12 and these older priests and levites that when the younger

00:16:48 generation of israel the young generation of the church as it applies to us new testament israel

00:16:55 as they're celebrating as they seek to be diligent to obey the voice of the lord and they've just

00:17:02 experienced a progress a step in the right direction in obedience and they're celebrating

00:17:08 and thanking the lord praising him responsibly for his providence his deliverance the freedom

00:17:15 that he has supplied through Cyrus

00:17:17 and the resources and the foundation

00:17:20 of the temple being laid,

00:17:22 as they're praising and thanking and worshiping, 0.98

00:17:26 older Christians are disparaging.

00:17:33 That is not, right, you know,

00:17:35 like your grandma would say,

00:17:37 that's not where you want to be

00:17:38 when Jesus comes back. 1.00

00:17:40 An older Christian who should be a father 0.99

00:17:43 in the faith. An older Christian who should be a mother in the faith, disparaging a younger 0.99

00:17:49 generation of Christians who are trying to actually practically obey Jesus in all of life.

00:17:56 That's a bad look. That is not where you want to be. So does this foundation for the second temple 0.99

00:18:03 pale in comparison with the glory of the first built under Solomon with all the resources

00:18:10 gathered by King David?

00:18:13 Uh-huh, yeah.

00:18:14 It does.

00:18:17 But is it vastly superior 0.97

00:18:20 to a decimated Jerusalem with no temple 0.98

00:18:23 and all of Israel 15 minutes ago

00:18:27 being in captivity in Babylon? 1.00

00:18:29 Yes, of course it's an improvement. 1.00

00:18:33 And we celebrate progress

00:18:35 that the Lord in His mercy provides

00:18:37 regardless of how small.

00:18:39 And good fathers should know better.

00:18:43 Good spiritual fathers,

00:18:45 be they pastors or just older Christian men,

00:18:49 the Bible says explicitly in Ephesians,

00:18:52 fathers, do not exasperate your sons.

00:18:58 Don't disparage them.

00:19:01 Don't exasperate them in the one sense

00:19:03 by demanding of them certain requirements

00:19:07 that are beyond their capability.

00:19:09 to where they can only fail when i say requirements beyond their capability i'm not speaking to the

00:19:16 nature of the child the son in regards to his fallenness but rather in regards to his finitude

00:19:23 if you haven't heard this theological category it's helpful especially for parenting for both

00:19:28 fathers and mothers with your child at whatever stage of development they're in you need to be

00:19:34 aware that there are two things simultaneously going on. That child is fallen. They're a sinner.

00:19:43 And so there's going to be within the members of their being, their flesh, Romans 7,

00:19:48 a sin nature bucking up against good and right commandments from the Lord.

00:19:54 And that should be disciplined. But there's also going to be, not in regards to their fallenness,

00:20:00 but regards to their creatureliness,

00:20:03 there's going to be not only fallenness, but finitude.

00:20:06 So if the command is,

00:20:08 thou shalt read at a seventh grade reading level,

00:20:11 and the child's four, he's not obeying.

00:20:16 We're not discussing fallenness, we're discussing finitude.

00:20:20 And you, O parent, are in sin.

00:20:23 You're exasperating your child.

00:20:26 You're demanding something from them

00:20:28 that is not a moral deficiency,

00:20:31 but rather it's simply the development of the child at that time.

00:20:36 There's also something to be said for train up a child in the way they should go.

00:20:40 Now, 95% of my exegesis on that particular text,

00:20:44 exegesis would be train up a child in the way they should go,

00:20:47 a.k.a. the clear prescribed commandments in the Scripture for all children.

00:20:54 But I would also maintain that within that particular text,

00:20:57 there is, although it's not the headline, there is perhaps an exegetical footnote that each child

00:21:04 is unique. With unique giftings and deficiencies. Not only deficiencies, but also giftings.

00:21:13 You may have a particular child who is above average. And so with this child who's above

00:21:20 average that you begin to notice, your wife and you as mother and father, you begin to notice at

00:21:26 a young age they're three now they're four now they're five now and you recognize they they have

00:21:31 a peculiar giftedness in a particular area and although for the average three four five year old

00:21:38 this would be the standard we recognize that god in his mercy and sovereignty has given to our child

00:21:44 a unique gift we want to steward that well from a young age and so without exasperating or

00:21:50 disparaging but recognizing god's sovereign unique gifting we are actually going to require from this

00:21:56 child a higher standard in this area because we know that they can do it and that we will not be

00:22:03 bucking up against their finitude because they have less finitude in this particular area because

00:22:09 of the mercy and kindness of God. And when they fail in this area, it won't be because we're

00:22:13 holding too high of a standard. It'll actually be back to the moral, the moral issue of they're

00:22:18 just choosing not to obey. Okay, so fathers do not exasperate your children. One way to exasperate

00:22:25 your sons is to require something that is outside of their capability. That they're going to

00:22:31 inevitably fail, not because they're sinning, but because they're finite. That's one way.

00:22:37 But another way to exasperate your sons is not just by holding the bar above their head,

00:22:43 but another way is that when they reach the bar, even setting a right standard, right goals from

00:22:49 the scripture for your child at that stage of development, they succeed. And yet, instead of

00:22:56 praising them for their obedience, celebrating with them because of their success, your response

00:23:03 is to reserve encouragement and praise. Because, well, there's been other successes from other

00:23:11 people that were better in the past. My kid is four, playing the piano really well.

00:23:19 but he ain't mozart yeah and and you ain't a good dad

00:23:25 repent and change your head nobody's mozart except for mozart 0.50

00:23:31 what's wrong with you the young generation of christians lay the foundation of the second

00:23:40 temple and you're weeping and notice that again this this can preach volumes there's volumes of

00:23:46 application here. Who's weeping? It's not the young men. It's not the younger generation.

00:23:56 The people who are weeping are the older generation that had been alive and seen the previous

00:24:01 and superior. That's fair. It was superior, but the prior and superior glory of the first temple. 0.65

00:24:09 but but what were what were the conditions of the building of the first temple

00:24:17 the conditions of the building of the first temple is under king solomon the wisest and richest man

00:24:25 to ever live where other nations are coming to him the queen of sheba is making a pilgrimage

00:24:33 to Israel to sit at Solomon's feet and learn from him. What I'm saying is that Israel under Solomon

00:24:43 and very much so because of David, a man after God's own heart who paved a trail for him,

00:24:52 blazed a trail for his son, because of those conditions and all that stemming ultimately

00:24:57 from the sovereignty and mercy of God, Israel had far more resources in the building of the

00:25:03 first temple. Israel had far more manpower in the building of the first temple. Far more unity.

00:25:11 Far more wisdom. Far more this. Far more that. Of course it was a better temple.

00:25:17 But the question is not in regards to the precise results. The question is always in regards to the

00:25:25 precise obedience. Is this foundation, this inferior, technically inferior, lesser foundation

00:25:34 of this second temple, was it what God asked for? Did they cut corners? Is it inferior because they

00:25:41 were disobeying? Is it inferior because they were compromised? Is it inferior because of

00:25:48 moral deficiencies, because of fallenness, or because of finitude? And I would argue it's the

00:25:55 latter. That it wasn't because of any moral failure on Israel's part that this second

00:26:02 foundation for the second temple paled in comparison to the first. It wasn't any moral

00:26:08 compromise or failure on their part. And therefore, it should not be disparaged.

00:26:14 they should not be criticized and especially from their fathers notice it's the priest

00:26:23 verse 12 many of the priest and levites it's the spiritual fathers but not only them and the heads

00:26:31 of fathers households so in both sovereign spheres both the church and the household the family

00:26:39 You have familial fathers and ecclesiastical spiritual fathers looking at the work and saying, back in my day, back in my day, I walked to school, uphill, both ways, in the snow.

00:26:59 Like, sure, sure, you know, an A is good, but back in my day, I would make 110 on every test I took.

00:27:10 This is not helpful.

00:27:12 This is poor fathering.

00:27:15 So that's verse 12.

00:27:16 Let's go back to verse 11 now.

00:27:18 All that was supposed to be an overview

00:27:19 of what I was going to tell you,

00:27:21 but I have a difficult time telling you

00:27:23 what I'm going to tell you without telling you.

00:27:25 So the second half of the sermon,

00:27:28 the good news is that the second half of the sermon

00:27:29 in many ways has been preached,

00:27:31 although I do have a couple quotes that I'd like to use.

00:27:33 But let's go back now to verse 11.

00:27:35 So before you have the disparaging fathers,

00:27:37 both familial and the priesthood coming into play and discouraging their sons,

00:27:45 literal sons and spiritual sons, from obedience that they've just committed to the Lord

00:27:51 and laying the foundation of the second temple.

00:27:54 Before that comes into play, you have the initial response,

00:27:58 which is filled with joy, celebration, worship, praise responsibly,

00:28:05 meaning it fits the occasion it's a response to what god has just done it's appropriate it makes

00:28:10 sense and like i said the particular lyrics of one of the songs that they're singing is for he that

00:28:18 is god yahweh for he is good for his steadfast love endures forever and here's the key phrase

00:28:25 once more toward israel and all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised

00:28:32 the Lord because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. In order to extrapolate some of

00:28:39 this significance of God being good, particularly toward Israel, I'm going to use a quote from

00:28:46 Matthew Henry on this particular verse. He says the following, whatever our condition is, how many

00:28:52 soever are griefs and fears, let it be owned that God is good and whatever fails that his mercy

00:28:59 fails not let this be sung with application as here not only his mercy endures forever

00:29:05 but it endures forever towards Israel whatever captives in a strange land or strangers in their

00:29:13 own land however it be yet God is good to Israel that is to say good to us God is good to us

00:29:24 brothers and sisters you are israel you are israel one temple was built and because of the

00:29:33 faithlessness of israel according to the flesh it was destroyed and god's mercy and faithfulness

00:29:41 our second temple was built that's what we're seeing now in the book of ezra but again spoiler

00:29:47 alert but it's the bible it's been around for you know thousands of years if you haven't read it

00:29:51 it's kind of on you at this point but spoiler alert Israel is faithless again and the temple

00:29:58 gets destroyed again and then the third temple if we can give enough billions to Israel

00:30:06 and they can push out Palestine and we can lay on the temple mount no there will be no literal 0.83

00:30:15 third temple why because you're it ephesians chapter 4 it tells us explicitly that you

00:30:25 as new testament christians are not mere children according to the flesh but according to

00:30:31 the covenant the promise and that you and i by god's grace and god's grace alone not because

00:30:36 of anything superior in us but by god's grace we are living stones this third temple what material

00:30:44 will it be built out of? Unlike the second, which was inferior in glory to the first, where some men,

00:30:50 although they were wrong to disparage, there was a genuine, authentic sentiment of weeping because

00:30:56 they recognized the second temple is not as glorious as the first. But no, it will not be so

00:31:02 with the third. The third is the greatest, most superior temple, not made from cedar or stone or

00:31:10 gold but built with living saints as living stones into a temple a house of the lord and there will

00:31:17 be no other temple you're it god now is pleased to make his dwelling place be within the new

00:31:25 testament saints who have been saved by grace through faith in christ the most pure and precious

00:31:31 resource there is hearts and minds of the redeemed that's the third temple and there has been

00:31:39 historically attempts to build a physical third temple and i encourage you on your own time to

00:31:44 look it up the closest attempt that was ever made the guy was struck by lightning

00:31:50 and i don't think it's a coincidence

00:31:53 all those who bless israel will be blessed that's right so bless the church that's israel

00:32:01 billions to israel no billions to ukraine no you want to bless true israel

00:32:10 tithe

00:32:12 and pray that maybe we could build a wall at home

00:32:18 that's about it i mean obviously there's more in terms of particular application and being

00:32:26 obedient to christ and all of christ for all of life but that's what the scripture means when

00:32:31 it speaks of Israel as it pertains to our time and our place in the New Testament under the New

00:32:36 Covenant. This third temple, unlike the second, the second there's weeping, it pales in glory.

00:32:43 The third is better than the second and the first. And that's where we are today. And so when our

00:32:49 texts are singing, the Lord is good to Israel. What they're singing, what they're saying is that

00:32:56 even when there are difficult times,

00:32:57 whether it be in smiling providence

00:33:01 or whether it be in dark and foreboding providence,

00:33:06 when things are great, when things are bad,

00:33:08 in blessing, in suffering,

00:33:10 in everything that God does,

00:33:12 He is sovereign.

00:33:13 He's not just sovereign over victories,

00:33:15 He's sovereign over defeat.

00:33:17 And everything that God is sovereign over,

00:33:19 which is everything,

00:33:20 He's orchestrating and directing and channeling

00:33:23 all of it for a particular end.

00:33:25 And that end is His eternal glory and the good of all people.

00:33:29 No, the good of His people.

00:33:31 The good of Israel.

00:33:34 Nations will come and go.

00:33:36 Empires rise and fall.

00:33:40 But the Lord will be good to Israel.

00:33:43 Whether she be in captivity or whether she be under Solomon in all his splendor,

00:33:49 the Lord will be good to Israel.

00:33:50 if america is faithful the church will prosper for the lord is good to israel

00:33:58 and if america be faithless and a rebel to the things of god the church will still be blessed

00:34:07 and yet another light for the lord will be good to israel and as this pertains at the most

00:34:14 micro level christian the lord will be good to you to you when your little girl is sick

00:34:24 the lord is good to israel

00:34:26 when you lose your job the lord is good to israel you are israel and the lord has promised to be

00:34:39 good to you. Everything he orchestrates, which is everything, sin and righteousness, blessing

00:34:48 and suffering, all of it is being orchestrated by God for your eternal good. Romans chapter 8 says

00:34:59 that God works, and that's not merely salvaging a bad situation that was out of his control. No,

00:35:04 he works that is orchestrating, ordaining, planning. Like what Joseph says is his brothers,

00:35:13 you meant throwing me in a pit and selling me into slavery. You meant, that is you planned it, 0.96

00:35:18 you intended it from the beginning for evil, but God salvaged it for good. No, same word. God

00:35:24 meant it for good. The same kind of word attributed to Joseph's brothers. And not just you turn the

00:35:31 situation but but you actually planned you plotted against me with intent you meant this for evil

00:35:38 but god also behind you as the first cause of all things he was using your sinful plotting hearts

00:35:45 in his sovereignty to plan and orchestrate this for my good that a great many people might be saved

00:35:52 and as it pertains to romans chapter 8 it's the same as genesis what joseph says

00:35:59 the lord works that is he meant he intends he plans he orchestrates all things for the good

00:36:07 of everyone no for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose aka

00:36:15 israel the church the christian you beloved the lord is not just using good things for your good

00:36:27 but even bad things for your good.

00:36:30 Because the Lord, like a good father,

00:36:32 is not wholly committed to your present happiness,

00:36:39 but your eternal happiness.

00:36:43 And in order to secure for you

00:36:44 the greatest and most ongoing duration,

00:36:49 indefinite longevity of happiness and joy and peace,

00:36:54 necessarily in order to accomplish that end it includes pruning and discipline a rod and

00:37:04 difficulty in moments in this life hebrews 12 says a discipline is never pleasant in the time

00:37:13 but what it produces is worth it it produces perseverance and character and all these things

00:37:22 the fruit of discipline is why we discipline. We don't discipline because it's fun in the moment.

00:37:30 We discipline because it shapes the child in such a way that he becomes a more, a better postured

00:37:39 and positioned individual to receive eternal joy and happiness and peace from the Lord forever.

00:37:46 that's what we do with our children and to think that god would somehow do any less

00:37:53 is blasphemous jesus even says which of you fathers though you are evil would not give

00:38:02 good gifts to your son if he asks and he goes on to talk about fish and bread versus a serpent

00:38:10 or a scorpion how much more so your father in heaven will he not give to you the holy spirit

00:38:16 you've heard me say it before i'll say it again there is only one particular resource

00:38:22 that god who is infinite and owns the cattle on a thousand hills everything is his everything's

00:38:30 at his disposal he has no lack there's only one particular resource that our infinite god

00:38:37 would ever perhaps have a logical reason for being tempted to withhold and it would have been the

00:38:43 resource of the blood of his son but as the scripture testifies if God gave us even Christ

00:38:51 his own son how much more will he not give us freely all things which means if God is withholding

00:38:59 a particular finite practical temporary thing from you be it finances be it health whatever it might

00:39:09 be. If God's withholding that, it cannot be because he's stingy. Because a stingy God, if he were

00:39:16 tempted to withhold anything, would have withheld the most priceless possession he had, namely the

00:39:21 blood of his son. But he didn't. He gave you Jesus. Why would he withhold a job? A job is way easier.

00:39:31 So then the logical answer, and more importantly the biblical answer, but that's really redundant.

00:39:36 I repeat myself, logical, biblical. The answer is God is withholding this particular finite thing

00:39:42 because it's for your good. For whatever purpose in that season, he's pruning you. He's sharpening

00:39:50 you. He's training you to depend more on him, to trust him, to do. It has to be. That's the only

00:39:56 possible answer. It must be for your good. Because if it was stinginess, if it was a lack of

00:40:02 generosity, if it was a lack of resources, if it was any other reason, then this withholding,

00:40:08 temporary withholding, is for your greater eternal good. Then the thing that God would

00:40:13 have withheld would have been Jesus. And he didn't. The Lord will be good to Israel.

00:40:22 Ephesians chapter 1 verse 22. One more cross-reference on this particular point. It says

00:40:27 this and he that being God the father put all things under his that's Jesus Christ the son

00:40:33 his feet and gave him as head over the church no as head over all things to the church

00:40:44 Jesus Christ is head of the church and we might also say theologically with accuracy the bible

00:40:52 would back it up that Jesus Christ is head of the church and he is uniquely head of the church

00:40:57 meaning that Jesus Christ his headship of the church the church is the only entity for which

00:41:03 Christ in his headship died and gave himself up for her to purify her that she might be pure and

00:41:10 spotless and without blemish Jesus did not die for the state he didn't die even this one hurts

00:41:17 but it's true. He didn't die for the household. He died for the church, of which is made up of

00:41:23 many households. But in terms of institutions, Christ died for the church. And an individual

00:41:30 household may have members of the church, but there may be other members of the same household

00:41:34 who are not. And by membership to that particular household, it does not guarantee you the redemption

00:41:41 and forgiveness of sins, but membership to the church, which comes by grace and faith in Christ

00:41:47 alone does guarantee you that Christ's sacrifice, his giving up of himself was in fact for you. So

00:41:55 Christ is head of the church. Secondly, he is uniquely head of the church that in his headship

00:42:00 of the church, he died for her. But the last thing that we need to recognize from Ephesians chapter

00:42:06 one, verse 22, is that Christ is uniquely head of the church, but he is not only head of the church.

00:42:12 Ephesians 1.22 says that God has set him up as head of all things.

00:42:18 And any other doctrine would be some, at some degree or another,

00:42:23 a version of what we would call pietism. 0.96

00:42:26 Which, as with all isms, is bad. 0.99

00:42:30 Except for prisms and Christian nationalism. 1.00

00:42:37 So I'll throw that one in there. I have to throw that one in. 0.92

00:42:39 but pietism is not good piety is piety refers to holiness a piety prefer it refers to the process

00:42:50 the lifelong process from conversion to physical death of of pursuing greater and greater

00:42:56 sanctification being conformed into the image of christ piety is the personal pursuit of holiness

00:43:01 it's sanctification it is often defined by the spiritual disciplines of of prayer and bible

00:43:08 reading and meditation and memorization of scripture and fasting. This is piety. And we

00:43:14 should all, as Christians, be marked by piety, but not pietism. Pietism refers, instead of piety,

00:43:22 the pursuit of holiness, it refers to apathy, really, if we were to sum it up into a word.

00:43:28 Spiritual apathy. It makes all the objects of piety ultimately private, reserved for only

00:43:36 your home and the church, but that basically the Christian life has no application in any tangible,

00:43:45 literal, physical way outside of your home and the church. And that's wrong. All of Christ for all of

00:43:52 life. Christ is head of all things. That's what Ephesians 1.22 says. It's not just that he's head

00:43:59 of the church. He is uniquely head of the church, as I've already labored. He didn't die for any

00:44:04 other institution. He died for the church and died for the church alone. So he's uniquely head of the

00:44:08 church, but not only head of the church. He is head of the state. Caesar is not head. Caesar has a lord

00:44:16 above him. That's what the scripture means. Have you ever stopped to wonder, to think, what does it

00:44:21 mean when we say lord of lords, king of kings? Who are these other kings that Jesus is king over?

00:44:27 Earthly kings. Who are these other lords that Jesus is lord over? Earthly lords. And I'll give

00:44:34 you an example just to really bring it home and if anybody struggles with feminism it'll help you 1.00

00:44:39 know the rapid detox of just you'll cringe and maybe vomit a little bit out and you'll be better

00:44:43 for it uh some of these lords are civil lords but many of these lords that jesus is lord of lords

00:44:49 many of these earthly lords are not just lords in the civil realm but lords in their home

00:44:53 because first peter chapter three sarah a woman of faith that godly women today should seek to

00:45:00 imitate called her husband abram her lord as a sign of respect not capital l not savior not divine

00:45:10 lord but a lord sir in the same way that husbands should strive to use at times affectionate terms

00:45:19 and titles for their wives displaying the husband's obedience to his particular command which

00:45:24 is to love his wife sweetheart my bride my love likewise the wife who may be tempted to use an

00:45:33 affectionate term if she seeks to be all the more submitted to scripture she would seek to use a

00:45:39 term not of endearment or affection but rather respect and honor because the particular command

00:45:45 as it pertains her in her relation to the husband is to respect the husband the husband loves the

00:45:51 wife. And that's not to say that the wife has no love for him. But the wife is particularly called

00:45:56 to respect the husband. And that's not to say that the husband in no sense has any respect for his

00:46:01 wife. But there is something particular about the two roles. That the role of the wife towards the

00:46:07 husband is first and foremost to be characterized by respect, although there is love. And the husband

00:46:13 in his relationship to the wife is first and foremost characterized by love, although there

00:46:18 is still dignity and respect. And so the husband would use terms that are indicative of love and

00:46:26 affection. And the wife, Sarah, at least, which Peter says under the inspiration of the Holy

00:46:32 Spirit, right? So you might want to hold on to that one. Peter, underneath the inspiration of God,

00:46:37 says that Sarah did right and that she's worth imitating for other godly women. And she calls

00:46:43 Abram her lord. So all that back to Jesus and his headship. He's lord of lords, which at least

00:46:50 in part, all my exegesis there sums up to this. He's lord of husbands. That's one of the lords,

00:46:57 earthly lords, lowercase l lords, that he's lord of. He is lord of husbands, familial lords,

00:47:04 and civil lords. He's king of kings. Christ is over as head. That is head meaning authoritative.

00:47:13 in authority over everything, the household, the state, markets, medicine, schools, academics,

00:47:23 everything, uniquely head of the church. It's the only thing he died for. But he is exhaustively,

00:47:31 conclusively head of all, all things. And so whether we are in times of captivity or times

00:47:40 of victory in either sense the lord the lord jesus who is head of all things will be good to

00:47:50 israel now with that understanding of scripture in place now go back let's read ephesians 122

00:47:57 one final time and he that is god put all things under jesus feet and gave him as head over all

00:48:04 things to the church not just head of the church but head of all things to the church meaning for

00:48:10 the benefit and good of the church. Jesus is head and authority, sovereignly reigning as king right

00:48:17 now, not only in the 17th dimension, but over earthly kings and earthly lords. And he is doing

00:48:23 so in such a way that whether it be through providence that frowns or providence that smiles,

00:48:29 it will do good to the church that is Israel. The Lord is good to Israel.

00:48:38 And then you've got a LARP before you can fly. If you're a spiritual father, don't disparage

00:48:45 your sons. If you're an earthly father, as many of you are still, likewise, don't disparage your

00:48:52 sons one way to disparage them is by not considering their frame the lord as a heavenly

00:49:00 father that we should seek to imitate the scripture says he considers our frame that we are dust

00:49:05 he knows what we're capable of and then those things which are far outside of our ability

00:49:12 and he does not exasperate his sons so do not fathers exasperate your sons

00:49:17 by not humbly and lovingly considering their finitude

00:49:24 and putting everything into the fallenness category.

00:49:27 Well, it's just because he's sinful.

00:49:28 It's just because he won't obey me.

00:49:29 And not recognizing the creaturely finite category.

00:49:33 But the other way to disparage your sons

00:49:35 is when you actually have set fair and right and holy standards.

00:49:40 They achieve the standards and you don't throw them a party.

00:49:45 You don't praise.

00:49:47 You don't encourage. When your son achieved something that was difficult, and you know it

00:49:55 was difficult for him. It was within his ability. The thing that was hindering the whole time was

00:50:00 not his finitude, but it was in fact his sin. But still, nonetheless, by God's grace, he's grown to

00:50:07 the point where he's finally achieved something that he has not yet prior been able to achieve.

00:50:12 the correct response is not to weep and say the former temple was better than the second

00:50:19 you know sons of former generations they they would have had this you know

00:50:24 five years ago any step in the right direction is a step in the right direction

00:50:31 or whether it be applied to the household and families and parenting or whether it be applied

00:50:38 to our nation. Look, here's the deal. At least I'll speak to the nation for a moment. I can't

00:50:44 speak to each individual household. You're all in different places and different challenges. And

00:50:48 some of you are further along. Some of you are not. But as it pertains to our nation, these

00:50:52 United States, yeah, we have fallen off the wagon big time. So even if everything was perfect

00:51:01 and from here on out it would still take decades to get back to former glory

00:51:07 and for those decades as we're seeking to restore what we lost by our own sin and rebellion those

00:51:15 decades should not be marked with weeping those decades should be marked with rejoicing

00:51:22 even though it would take decades to get back to the former glory meaning in all that time as we're

00:51:30 walking this direction, trying to rebuild the ruins, trying to restore what has been lost because

00:51:35 of sin, until we get there for a very long time, everything around us would still by comparison

00:51:41 be inferior to that which came before. But that's not where our focus should lie.

00:51:48 It shouldn't lie on where we're at and how it pales to that which came before. It should lie

00:51:53 on where we're going by the grace of God and that the best is yet to come. I believe, I truly

00:51:59 believe, first and foremost, I believe it's true of scripture, that it's true in the Bible. But

00:52:04 secondly, I believe it's also true of human nature, simply winning strategies, what actually

00:52:10 works. I think this is what works when it comes to a vision. Vision that people will get behind

00:52:16 and find compelling has at least two primary aspects. One, it has a positive vision of the

00:52:21 past. Two, it has a positive vision for the future. You might call it this, to replace that positive

00:52:28 vision part, to get a little bit more specific. What does that mean? The positive vision of the

00:52:32 past, you might call that honor. It honors its fathers, and it has hope for its sons.

00:52:41 You want a winning Christianity? You want a winning, compelling vision?

00:52:47 honor for the past your fathers hope for the future your sons theology that says your fathers

00:52:59 were all racist that dog won't hurt and theology that says and your sons are hopeless because

00:53:10 everything will get worse and worse and worse and honestly jesus will probably be back next thursday 0.97

00:53:15 and then the church keeps losing and you say look it's proof it's a confirmation that our

00:53:22 doctrine is true no no no you just have a self-fulfilling prophecy you rigged the deck 1.00

00:53:28 this isn't god this is you things are getting worse uh-huh because you suck 1.00

00:53:34 that's why things are getting worse because you've abdicated your responsibility you've withdrawn 1.00

00:53:42 you've come to a point of an impotent powerless puny faith that only has application for the

00:53:51 sweetness of your private marriage and your sweetness of your private little heart in your

00:53:56 15 minute quiet time and the sweetness of an hour and a half on the lord's day in your private

00:54:01 little church you've sought to castrate king jesus and then you say well everything's getting worse

00:54:11 and that's what the Bible teaches.

00:54:14 No, everything is getting worse 1.00

00:54:15 because you're a loser 1.00

00:54:16 with loser theology 1.00

00:54:20 that says that the guys

00:54:22 who experienced victory in the past,

00:54:25 well, they only really experienced victory 0.94

00:54:26 because they were corrupt

00:54:27 and they were doing things 0.62

00:54:28 that they really had no business doing.

00:54:32 Really, they should have been more submitted

00:54:34 to the civil magistrate.

00:54:36 The war for independence, 0.97

00:54:37 I mean, yeah, I guess it was a victory,

00:54:39 but only because they were breaking the rules 0.99

00:54:40 because if they were more faithful Christians,

00:54:43 what they would have done is rolled over. 0.52

00:54:48 Charlemagne, King Alfred, Constantine,

00:54:52 George Washington, who was an evangelical Christian.

00:54:56 And we can debate whether or not

00:54:58 he took the Lord's Supper at a later time.

00:55:01 There were reasons for that.

00:55:03 That is our past.

00:55:05 Our past is glorious.

00:55:07 How do you make an entire generation,

00:55:09 how do you make an entire nation

00:55:10 especially when it's america and it was maybe still is i don't know but was at least a superpower

00:55:16 around the globe how do you beat a superpower you can't outdo them in terms of literal military

00:55:22 might how do you do it well you have to get them to roll over and how do you get them to roll over

00:55:28 you teach them to hate their heritage and to be ashamed instead of proud

00:55:32 you teach them that all their fathers were bigots and you teach them that all their sons

00:55:42 are lost and then you don't have to go to war because the psychological psyop war has already

00:55:52 been accomplished there is no enemy in fact in that case you don't want to destroy america

00:55:57 you just come inside once they have no resolve left to even have a border you just come inside

00:56:06 you don't want to destroy it because you actually want to take it you take all the resources and

00:56:11 they'll just give it to you don't have to fight them they just give it to you because they've

00:56:17 given up and why do they give up because because there's no will to fight for a country or heritage

00:56:23 or history that's ultimately the bad guys if you could convince an entire group an entire generation

00:56:32 that they're the bad guys they lose the will to fight and that's not to say that our history is

00:56:38 perfect and that there is no sin but if you want to talk about sinful past i would encourage you

00:56:43 to look at the history of every single nation in the world ours being the least the least

00:56:49 but what about slaves there's still slavery going on in other nations but not ours

00:56:57 now it's all been a lie it's all been a sigh of to get you to hate your fathers

00:57:08 instead of honor and to be hopeless for your sons instead of hope and what the bible teaches

00:57:14 is the opposite the fifth commandment demands that we honor our fathers it demands it and if

00:57:22 your particular fathers were not particularly honorable then look for the things with your

00:57:27 fathers that can be honored and remember that if you're a christian in the ultimate and spiritual

00:57:32 sense your lineage your heritage goes back to the greatest fathers who have ever lived

00:57:37 maybe your familial father maybe in your bloodline you can't find quite the honor that you wanted

00:57:43 well in that case you can say yeah but calvin is my father and luther is my father athanasius is

00:57:50 my father augustine is my father paul is my father and jesus although my older brother in

00:57:55 isaiah it speaks of him wonderful counselor eternal father because through him are all those

00:58:03 who are spiritually born my lineage my fatherhood is glorious and my sons will not be the lesser

00:58:10 sons of former sires but they will take the ball and go even farther than our fathers have gone

00:58:17 they will stand on the shoulders of those giants who came before them and usher in if god would

00:58:22 be so kind a glorious christendom that makes the former pale in comparison all for the honor and 0.93

00:58:29 the blessing of king jesus you preach that and the pietists won't like it but they will lose 0.89

00:58:36 because you know what? People respond to that. And you can sit and poke it with videos calling 0.99

00:58:43 it prosperity gospel and you're exegeting. You lost. You won't win. And you can take out one

00:58:50 guy with ad hominem attacks and get dirt on him and find out this and disparage him because of

00:58:55 his past and make character assassination. But you can't beat the substance. You won't beat the

00:59:01 argument you it's in the scripture it's it's hardwired into human essence we we respond we

00:59:10 can't help but respond to an honorable lineage and a hopeful future that message will go forward

00:59:17 whether it's called christian nationalism whether it's called theonomy whether it's called the

00:59:21 magisterial uh tradition or what it doesn't matter that that essence if you boiled it down to just

00:59:27 the bare minimum honor for the past fathers hope for the future sons that is the message of

00:59:34 scripture it's the story of scripture both in the old testament and in the new and it compels

00:59:41 and rallies the hearts of men men hear that message and they come and if you get men you 0.96

00:59:47 know who else you get their wives and children and the pietists will continue to have churches

00:59:53 that are 70% moms and their kids

00:59:56 and the men are at home watching football.

01:00:00 But those who believe in a potent

01:00:02 and powerful Christianity,

01:00:05 they will have the men, 0.94

01:00:07 which means they'll have the men 0.87

01:00:08 and the women and the children.

01:00:10 Those churches will continue

01:00:12 by the grace of God to grow

01:00:13 and the churches of 150 years

01:00:16 of dispensationalism will shrink.

01:00:19 And to which I respond

01:00:21 with a resounding praise God.

01:00:24 Let's pray.

01:00:25 Father, thank you for your word.

01:00:26 Bless it to your people.

01:00:27 Bring glory to Jesus.

01:00:28 In his name, amen.

01:00:30 Let's continue to worship the Lord now through song.

01:00:32 As we do, I will worship you.
