Mary And Joseph's Prophecy 00:09:42
Pastor Carl, you talk about some of the revelations that's buried deep in the word that you have been able to uncover and share in the book.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yes, sir.
Several of them.
Can you answer that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And one of them I'd just like to tie a bow on that I was already talking about is when you read this, I have it where Mary and Joseph are becoming aware that there are literal, specific scriptures that were lying there for several thousand years that were about not their people or not their times.
They were about them, Mary and Joseph.
You know, the Bible, you know, they had to know that because the first page of the New Testament opens by saying, this is what fulfilled the prophet Isaiah said, which means by then, when Matthew wrote that, he and Mary were already good friends.
Jesus was already resurrected.
So they had to be sitting around talking about this stuff.
And so can you imagine?
Can you imagine that happening?
All right.
Also, a couple of other things.
I reveal where the Bible says and kind of how it all came together, where Jesus was really born.
Yes, he was really born in Bethlehem, but he was also born in a very specific place that had a specific reason, specific duty, and was tied to specific people.
The shepherds were not just regular shepherds.
They were temple shepherds.
They were priestly shepherds.
And archaeologists and even, you know, modern Orthodox Jews, they know this.
The scriptures speak of it.
The classical scholars wrote about it.
And say the classical understanding of the word of God has just disappeared from the church.
Now, so much of it is just fluff and feel good.
And, you know, Jesus loves you, and that's all you need to know, but you got to know everything else.
But the bottom line is, I take you to the scriptures where you see where it's written that he would be born, he would come from and be presented and would be born in Bethlehem, but also at a place called the Tower of the Flock, Mycdaler, in Hebrew.
And then I tie that together and I show you how that more than likely happened that they wound up there.
And then the temple priests, the priestly shepherds, their responsibility was to take those little lambs up to the temple back and forth every day for the sacrifices.
Okay?
So anyway, I show all of that and I just put you in the story so that you feel it.
You're there.
You get it.
You understand it.
Bethlehem to Jerusalem in the temple was not that far.
And five or six miles, you can walk it in a couple of hours.
And they had wagons and carts and took, you know, so they were back and forth up and down the interstate every day.
That's right.
With their trucks shipping the goods and then the supply chain staying open.
And so all of that.
So all of that, you're just on that journey.
This is what I'm saying.
You might read this.
You might get there and say, Jesus wasn't born in a cave somewhere?
I mean, Carl, you're saying this.
No, the Bible says he was born in a cave somewhere.
The Bible doesn't say that.
In fact, I take you to the scripture where what the Bible does say.
It's amazing.
And then you follow the footnote and you go to the back and you read what the scholars have said, the archaeologists have said, the classic scholars have said, modern scholars are saying.
No, it was more than likely right there.
So anyway, that's one of them.
And the other thing is the place of the crucifixion.
That's an amazing revelation.
And so Golgotha and what that means.
Did you want to hint?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
Because we only have a few minutes left.
Okay, well, I will do this.
And I'm just going to go ahead and, well, you know, Messianic Rabbi Zeph Parat's a good friend of mine and y'all, too.
We love it.
And he's written a new book that's going to come out too that goes into detail of all of this.
But mine is in story form, and you just take in there, and I just say these things, and people say, what?
And then they follow the notes, and I've got a lot of the same notes that he and I have shared on this.
But the bottom line is, more than likely, I mean, 95, 98% chance, the crucifixion was on the Mount of Olives.
And the reason.
The New Testament, have you ever thought about this?
And I show you in the book.
The only thing that it says in the Gospels is he was taken to a place called the place of the skull, Golgotha.
Okay?
And there's a Greek word that's Golgotha that means like a skull, a place of skull.
But the Hebrew, it comes from Hebrew.
And the Hebrew words mean something else.
And let me explain.
That's all it says.
Why is that all it said?
Because they were writing to people who lived during that time who knew where it was.
See, we're the ones 2,000 years later.
Otherwise, it would have said he was taken to a place called Golgotha.
Now, here's where that was, and here's why it's called that.
They didn't say any of that.
Why?
Because everybody knew.
It was a very well-known place.
Well, what was it?
Watch this.
Take you on a quick journey.
You go all the way back.
You'll go all the way back.
People laughed when I said quick.
That hurt my feelings.
That hurt my feelings.
Do you ever say that?
People laugh at you?
I'm just going to say.
They do.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So you're a preacher.
You're the only one that feels my pain.
I know.
Everybody else, they're still laughing.
See?
All right, but watch.
Quick story.
I'm going to take you on a journey.
Watch.
You go all the way back in the Old Testament.
I don't remember books and chapters right now.
They're all in my book, but I promise you this is true.
You go all the way back in the Old Testament and you wind up with a young man named David, who's not a king yet.
He's still a shepherd boy, but he winds up battling this giant, Goliath.
Okay?
Goliath.
Goliath.
Now follow me.
And the Bible says, everybody, you know, most people say, yeah, how'd he kill Goliath?
With a slingshot?
No.
That's how he knocked him down.
How'd he kill him?
He took his sword and cut off the head of Goliath.
Gets better than that, though.
The scriptures also say later on that he took his head and his armor to Jerusalem.
Doesn't say where.
But then later, when David is running from Saul, he goes to Jerusalem up onto the Mount of Olives where there is an altar, one of the oldest, probably the oldest altar that the Jews had for worship of Yahweh recorded in scriptures and probably in history, was on the Mount of Olives.
He goes up there and there's priests, the priests of Nob.
And David, that's where he gets the bread for he and his companions, which David would later chastise the Pharisees about.
Don't you remember when David went up and got the bread?
Okay?
That was the altar.
All right, now watch.
And he asks the priest, do you have a sword here?
Something.
Saul is after me.
I need it.
And he says, I've got the sword of Goliath that you brought here.
Are you all following me?
We're following you.
Now, if he took the sword and the armor up there and the priest still had it, guess what else he took up there?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Now watch.
Why would he do that?
Because he's sacrificing it to the Lord.
It's an offering to the Lord.
You allowed me to kill this giant.
You allowed me to deliver my people.
Now I'm taking his head and his armor, which he thought, they thought this big man want to take his head off.
He can't drag the whole body up there.
And then all this armor, he was indefeatable, but you slew him through me.
So he takes all that up there.
That's in Jerusalem, by the way.
It's a golf ball's hit from the Temple Mount to the Mount of Olives.
And so then, then, all those years later, when it says they took Jesus to the place, Golgata, in Hebrew is the place of the head of Goliath.
Golgata.
That's where they took him.
Everybody knew where that was.
Everybody.
Then you get to the book of Hebrews, and the book of Hebrews says about they took him outside the city to an altar that even the priests don't have a right to eat of.
And some of the commentators are looking at that and say, well, they must be talking about the cross.
You know, that was the altar.
No.
No, no, no.
It was the offer of the sacrifice of the red heifer.
You can get on the internet right now and check it out.
The bridge to the altar of the red heifer was a bridge that was built over the Kidron Valley that came out of the temple, and it went over to the Mount of Olives, where the red heifer was sacrificed.
And that red heifer had to be consumed, and you took the ashes because it purified people's sin.
And Jesus is up there being crucified.
And there's another scripture in the Old Testament where David, you'll remember this, when he was running from his son Absalom, he's weeping, and he goes up the Mount of Olives, up a trail weeping.
And all the people came out of the city and went up with him weeping.
It's a picture, again, of Jesus, like Psalm 22.
He said, they've pierced my hands and my feet.
And David was living out a picture there.
