Savior Jesus has been increased I rejoice to when I learn from your programs that through the bible is going into more and more languages how wonderful you are in my daily prayers Well thanks so much Cynthia for those daily prayers and keep listening are these great letters I happily love hearing about how God's word is changing lives all over the world don't you well maybe like these listeners you too have a story that you can share want to write to us and tell us how God is using these studies in your life we'd love to hear from you today our email address is Bible bus at t t v dot org or grab a pen and write to us a box 7100 Pasadena California 91109 or in Canada box 25325 London Ontario and 6 c 61 now let's prepare our hearts for the teaching that God has for us today bother guide us as we study your word we come with ready hearts asking that you would show us what we need to know we ask this in the name of your precious Son Jesus Christ amen here is through the Bible with Dr j. Vernon McGee. Our friends we come to the 12th chapter of Daniel and this is the conclusion of the vision that began back and Chapter 10 and we need to keep before us what this vision is all about the problem is that today a great many just dip in here any place and try to make application in just any way they see there but beginning with chapter tan and through 12 it's one vision and everything has to fall into place are you certainly don't bail out the jigsaw puzzle here it all now he said back in chapter 10 verse 14 now I am calmed of Mike the understand what shall be fall by people in the latter days for yet the vision is for many days now there are 3 things that are endpoint why people concerns the nation is surreal that's after the church is removed from the earth it's in the latter day and the latter days in the Old Testament is a dandy 5 in the last day is in the New Testament that has the new as the large ease a sedan abided as the Great Tribulation period are the 70th week of Daniel as we've seen in this book those of the latter days and Daniel was told yet the vision is from man a day that is it's going to take a long time for all of this to be worked out but before you get to the latter days well now that's been a pretty good time sense Daniel by the way several years have gone by and the fact of the matter is at least 2500 years have gone by it's far too many a day and whether we're moving into the orbit of these today as I do. Not No the Church will have to be removed 1st that's the next happening in the program of God and we have no date for that we have no sign Fahri and anyone today that's going to try to set up a date they are dealing with something that the Word of God doesn't permit us to deal with it all now in verse one here we have the great tribulation mention Now will you listen to their son Daniel makes it clear now like he's talking about and at that time shall my stand on the great prince who stand there for the children of thy people and that shall be a time of trouble such as never was sent so I was a nation even to that same time and at that time by people shall be delivered every one that shall be found written in the book now somebody says By what authority do you call this period of great tribulation period well by the authority of the large ease he use this language that Daniel uses here he says that this would be a period a brief period of time a trouble of being nothing like it but for nothing afterward and the largest called it The Great Tribulation period so why take it that he knew what he was talking about and that we are considering him reliable Well that's what we will excel Now at that time you see it a dandy Fi's the time that we're talking about and it is the time of the Am Not only did we see it back in chapter 10 but we saw that it was mentioned to us over here in verse 40 and at the time of the am and then we are given. That in verse 35 a Chapter 11 to the time of the end not band of time but the time of the hand that says they end of this particular vision that been given to Daniel and it ans now with the Great Tribulation period and this art of be clear I thank you and to a theologian by the way I think that it might be well for me to quote someone else at this point I'd like to quote Dr Colver I have referred to as book several times a very excellent book and I'm quoting now from him another expression at the time of the Am let him 40 seems to indicate s. Cattle logical time but I do not feel that this evidence taken by Excel can be press too far but obviously the end of whatever series of events is in the mind of the author is designated by the expression time of the Am This is not necessarily a series reaching on to the consummation of the ages however it is quite clear from Chapter 10 verse 14 which thanks is this cult of the prophecy to include the latter days that the time of the and in this proper say is with reference to the period consummated by the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom and I think that's a profound statement now Michael is a dentist by far as here is the archangel and is the name means who is like and of God He is the one you'll recall it is going to cast sight now out of heaven that's in Revelation $1278.00 and here is the one that protects the nation s. Real and he stands and the how of s. Will as Daniel makes it very clear and John over. Or in Revelation outlines his strategy and that's in the 12th chapter will not go into that at this time why people now again let me emphasize at that time show Michael stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of vi people now that's positive live the nation history otherwise the language has no meaning whatsoever and the time of trouble is the great tribulation it's a log so labeled it in Matthew 2421 now the remnant of Estrella's preserved we find that given to us in Matthew 2422 Romans 1126 and Revelation 7 for we are told that a certain number was seal in Revelation 7th floor for instance and I heard a number of them which were sealed and they were sealed 144000 of all the tribes of the children of this 3 and children of this will of course means children a vessel that means someone out now will you notice in vs 2 and 3 here 1st verse 2 we have the resurrection now the Old Testament saint and I've sent I'm reading verse 2 and many of them that sleep in the dust so they are shall away some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt now the remnant living in the Great Tribulation will be preserved and that great company of Gentiles are to be saved in that period they are preserved and those of the Old Testament who died that belong to that remnant and the Gentiles that were saved back in the Old Testament they'll be. Re is that the end of the great tribulation some that is the use to everlasting life the Old Testament saints are not raised to the rapture of the church at the Rapture it clearly states only those which sleep then Jesus will God bring with him only the dad in Christ shall rise 1st and we get in Christ but the bad chasm of the Holy Spirit began on the day of Pentecost it will end at the Rapture and that is a particular body call a church and we are told there definitely and 1st Corinthians 1212 for as the body is one have many members and all of members of that one body being many are one body so also is cries for by one's spirit are we are all bad guys then to one body whether we be bonded for a year and have been made to drink into ones bearing now Christ told his disciples who were members of the nation Israel that they would be baptized by the Holy Spirit and put in the body of believes John truly bad guys with water the Lord Jesus said but ye shall be bad guys with the Holy Spirit not many days hence Now the church is raptured out of the world and the Old Testament saints are not right why well because they come to enter the kingdom as an end of the Great Tribulation period when Christ comes then the kingdom is established then they are raised Abraham Isaac and Jacob they're all going to be raised for the kingdom they are going to enter into the kingdom upon this earth that that time now they were raised at the time of the rapture they have to stand around with their hearts that could maybe have walked Mr practice. So I don't know but they just have to be standing around with their arcs for 7 years and I think that would get a little you know monotonous but they're going to be raised at the end which I think this passage makes very very clear Well now let me move along here verse 3 and they that be wives shelf shyness in the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness those are the stars for ever and ever now God's servants in the dark days of the great tribulation they all shine is lights in the world and believers today are to do the same thing by the way and the remnant in that day will be God's witness in the world and they're going to turn man into righteousness and the righteousness is price because that's the only righteousness that God is acceptable Our Righteousness is felt there right in here side not in our sight we think we're pretty good we look at each other at each other on the back and tell each other how wonderful we are and while we are just of bunch of dirty laundry friends and dogs not accepting our works he's accepting the righteousness of Christ and that's only provided by faith now where you notice verse 4 because we have here the ceiling of prophecy but via our all Daniel shut up the words and Seal of book even to the time of the in many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be encrease Now these prophecies were to be sealed under the time of the End Now this does not mean they end of time but it refers to that definite period of time which in Daniel is in the 7 day of the week and in view of the fact that we are in that interval immediately preceeding this period it's due. If a doctor know just how much we really understand today to tell the truth we find a great many man disagree today on these matters and all of us are very dogmatic but I'm of the opinion that none of us have all information that will be opened up when it reaches this particular period and that's the reason I think we need to keep our eyes upon one thing looking far that last said whole and it blow Reus of clearing of the largest keep our eyes fixed upon a large Jesus Christ now we are told that many shall run to and fro and I personally believe that this means running up and down the Bible in the study of prophecy when it shows search it through and through and there is a study of prophecy being made today that we haven't had in the past I think certain great doctrines are developed particular periods in the history of the world at the very beginning of the church the doctrine of the inspiration of the Scriptures was pretty well established the Deity of Christ redemption then as you move along in the history of the church I think now we've moved into in our bit where those more study of prophecy and it says knowledge shall be increased and I think it means a knowledge of proper say it's true that knowledge has increased in every field of day but I'm trying to confine this what I think primarily it refers to and of course Manisha been runnin to and fro but that I think it refers to the study of prophecy now we have and verse 5 here let me begin reading there then I Daniel loved and behold I was there to the one on their side the bank of the river the other on the other side the banker Reverend one said to the man clothed in linen which was upon the waters of the river How long shall it be to that and of these wonders and I heard a man close. Then land in which was upon the waters of the river when he held up his right hand and his left hand under heaven and swam by on that liveth forever that it shall be for a time times and a half and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people all these things shall be Benj Now these verses return us to the vision of Daniel that he had seen at the beginning of chapter can the man clothed in the land and he was a den of 5 as the post incarnate Christ and 2 others joined him here one stands on one bank of the Tigris River and the other on the other and a standard the power of the holy people that's a strange phrase it may mean that the rebellion of Israel will have been finally broken by the end of the Great Tribulation period and that it will be of great turning to God that time which by the way we do not even see at this particular time now verse 8 and I heard but I understood not then said I own my lord what shall be the end of these things now Daniel was a witness to this same and he says he did not understand what he heard not Daniel was puzzled he wanted to know how all these things he had just witnessed would work out verse 9 and he said Go thy way Daniel for the words of closed up and sealed at the time of the end not Daniel is reminded again that these things would take place in the time of the an anorak temporarily seal Now you notice we have their bomb a nation of desolation before us and now verse 10 and then I shall be to Europe by night why and tried but the wicked shall do wicked and none of the wicked shall understand why I shall understand how these great principles of God prevail from Daniel today that the time of the end irrespective of dispensation mannish shall be . Purified those who come to cry not by works of righteousness but according to His mercy and the why shall understand because Paul said the natural man receive it not the things of the Spirit of God their foolishness under him now versa land and from the time that the daily sacrifies shall be taken away and the abomination that make a desolate set up that shall be a 1209 a day now the importance of this verse I don't think I can overemphasize it as the large ease this are referred to it he says 20 that for show see the abomination of desolation spoken of the Daniel the prophet stand in the Holy Place eat it read it let him understand now that obeyed the beginning of the Great Tribulation period now for 1209 a days the idol of the beast remains in the temple this is 30 days actually beyond the 3 and a half years in other words the last half of the great tribulation which is 1260 days and for some unexplained reason their image will be there 30 more day it's what you were saying to me to indicate they'll be an interval there but for the setting up of the kingdom here upon this earth then verse 12 blast cities he that white it and cometh to the 1305 and 30 days now another series of days is given to us here with no other explanation then last it is he that white at the end common Well apparently we haven't come there and again these are day is that I'm of the opinion and far as I'm concerned no one has the interpretation of these why it's sealed till the time of am now. And I think sometimes we try to know more than has actually given to us to know verse 13 but gold loud highway tell it and be for the hour shall rest and stand and I a lot in the end of the day not Daniel is told just as the large Jesus told Simon Peter that he stood died it not lay on the say the return of Christ but he would be raised from the dead to enter the monument and he says in via lot means that Daniel will be raised with the Old Testament saint at the beginning of the millennium at the end of days that brings us to the abundant and Prince into the kingdom and Franz why I say tell you that that is they do cheer that is before us right now a future that says Jesus was coming and the Book of Daniel says is going to Kunda this earth and stablish just Kingdom Hall Kauser son the large eases himself said I'm going to come and receive you and where I am going to be with me I'm going to prepare a place for you these are the things we should keep before us in these day May the Lord richly bless you my beloved.

We are focusing in on the garden of death 70 today and the encouragement that we find in this dark moment in time join us now and ingrates with Pastor Gary Wagner coming up next. And begin greetings in Christ welcome to abounding grace Reformed Church here in San Jose We're continuing our survey of Luke and today that survey takes us to chapter 22 verses 39 through 46 it's there that we see our elder brother Lord Christ go into the garden of death sending. Time for him yet there are the silver linings of the clouds that we so often look for if you will but just look that's what we'll do today please join us here Pastor Gary Wagner with today's edition of abounding grace if it is possible let this cup pass from me nevertheless your will be done by. This cup torments this cup torture's this cup causes indescribable pain and agony without relief throughout all eternity this cup separates you from God The meaning of this cop can be no all other then the fact that Christ finds the door of his father's house close to him. Now Jesus is the last song more than anything like the product he was alive to well rise and go to his father's house but his father is not waiting for him. The door to the house of heaven is close to him the judge just barges accessing our place so we can go boldly before God's throne of grace oh terrible I'll die our said shelter the casting out of fear cannot take place Christ cannot leap into God's loving protecting arms hence the suffering and says is one whose nature desires to labor with God in for him but his status is like that of the man of sorrow who opposes God and accomplishes the law of hell on our from this tension Christ suffering arises that which is in his heart his love for God drives him to God that which is on the outside are sent draws him away from God unquote. Nanos the 3 elements in Christ prayer What does he call God even while the father is received he calls implanter other gospel writers actually use the word Abba here but Luke didn't because he's writing if you remember to a Greek audience and they wouldn't have known what that Aramaic word Abba meant but Abba Father is what a child would call his father when he is in danger and when he is sick and for Jesus to call God Father at this deep and dark moment of his life is to say that what Jesus desires and God's desires are absolutely one what God wants to happen and what Jesus wants to happen are in perfect harmony. To call God Father or. At this point in his life is to express intense fervent law. Deep trust that God is going to get him through it and some mission to do whatever his father wants to do the petition if I have to drink this cop I will is because Jesus knows he must satisfy God's justice the justice the cost of software it must come to Jesus not because of the relationship of love between the Father and the son but because of Jesus agreement to be our mediator that God's justice screams out that we be punished for the wages of sin is death. The Lord Jesus Christ steps in voluntarily agreed to do it from all eternity if you remember last week we talked about the call that of redemption he agreed for all eternity in a call that would God the Father and God the Holy Spirit that he would step in between God's Fiore undisputable and that he would satisfy God's judgment and satisfy God's broken law by bearing all of its penalties and all of its hell and himself in our place and so now we have those last words of his prayer. Which should be an encouragement to a song nevertheless die will be done. What we agreed to do what you sent me to do Lord before time began it's now reach this very moment I'm Since I'm suffering about to be betrayed and die and be buried because that is what you sent me to do. Even before the 1st Adam was even created so I have come here to this day in the garden of the many that was pretty dust and before all eternity began the climax of my saw Frayne that will mean the salvation of all of my people then notice what Luke tells us happened next in verse 3043 now an angel from heaven appeared to him strengthening him now when you read that you kind of draw a sigh of relief Ah that's great praise the Lord there was an angel here comforting him. But as one man said We don't know Wade what way the heaviest on Jesus the comfort in the disc race or the disc race in the conference that Angel was a humiliation to him all it was a comfort to him but it was unique combination of comfort and humiliation as a man he needed the confort of an angel but here is the Son of God in human flesh being conquered by an Angel needing the strength of an angel so as shoulder said we don't know what way the heaviest on Jesus the comfort of the angel gave in the midst of the described order described as have been comforted by an angel. To Jesus the man that angels appearing was especially a cause of joy because that angel gave him what the disciples withheld from him friendship in his last hours. This is a sharp and shameless contrasts. Man had that to give which Jesus needed support and he did not give it an angel gave what the disciples with no. These men could have and should have watched with Jesus their watching and standing with him would have been part of strength to his human soul which would have been encourage much to him but beloved men have nothing to give Jesus nothing. So when Jesus solve that age I'm sure his spirit left for joy but don't for get the appearance of this Angela was still part of his suffering. That angel represented in aggravation of Christ suffering that Angela her Jesus grievously by strengthening him never was Jesus Paul 40 so drastically Delian aided so eerie futilely infirmed affirmed as when the angel came to strengthen the Son of God Furthermore the softening of Jesus's Dadeland by this strengthening not just by having an angel there to convert him by the but by the strengthening itself now what do you think it means that an angel came saw Jesus in agony and strengthen him in his humanity Christ human strength was about exhausted the angle came to him to give him the ability to endure the physical suffering and the death that was imminent the Angel sees to it says shoulder but the Son of Man has the strength of a lion for only in that way can he die the death of a lion. In other words the angel came to strengthen Jesus physically to endure the physical sacrifice he would be experience over in the next verse Now listen. This angel strengthened Jesus so he would not lapse into unconsciousness during his suffering and dying so that to the very last who would be conscious and bearing the last measure of the terminal death our sins deserve he strengthened him so he wouldn't pass out a Wouldn't it have been a relief for him to have passed out in the midst of all of this but he was strengthened so he would remain conscious and so as active obedience would keep pace with his passive obedience that is so that to the very end while God was afflicting him with the hell that we deserved he would be strengthened by this angel to love God with all of his heart soul strength and mind while he was suffering at God's hands. Jesus was not allowed to be something that just Jesus saw for and was not allowed to be something that just came upon. His software and had to remain his conscious and voluntary work he had to be conscious so that he could volunteer and laying down his life as a sacrificial lamb and that is what the angel was sent from heaven for Jesus to do if you remember in the wilderness about 3 years earlier Angle's Astley came to Jesus and came in again kept him from hurting his feet against stones do you remember that. This angel comes to get 70 not to keep Jesus from hurting himself but to keep Jesus from being hurt without feeling the pain he had to experience the pain to the last. And we cannot appreciate have all the intensity of such suffering now that leads us to verse 44 and being in agony he was praying very fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood and in Greek it actually says clots of blood falling down upon the ground it is obvious that Jesus was in deep mental distress but he had new physical strength then Angela had brought him a new strength so that he could endure right at the time when the agony of a struggle was at its highest pitch the mind in the body of Jesus that were sinking lower and lower beneath the strain rallied powerfully so he could face the full horror of the curse on the wrath that words impending That is why I Jesus went on to pray more intensely and fervently and that crucial moment he had been made stronger by this Angelo to face the whore that awaited him. The intensity of the struggle produced such physical reaction that the sweat of Jesus became bloody as it were clots of blood the stress and the strain was so severe that tiny blood vessels of the skin Rob shirred and his blood mingled with his perspiration childer said the blood of Christ was driven out of him twice 1st I guess 70 and then a dog off for the 1st time it gets them any of the blood was expelled a sweat the 2nd time it gotten the blood was forced out by wounds inflicted externally Christ's blood was driven out of him in 2 ways the way of any internal agony of soul and the way of an external physical affliction Taken together these 2 final and high points show us that Christ blood is being demanded by the whole universe heaven draw it out hell drives it out they are earth forces that out from every side Christ blood which is the bearer of life is being demanded of him why because he is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world and without the shedding of his blood there is no forgiveness of sin against them and he suffers as no man had suffered many no one touched him but God alone consider how many his soul was sucker fice his own soul sucker Feist itself to go a good many he offered his soul to God as a sacrifice as on Calvary he sucker Feist his body. When men require his blood and dog author he allows them to take it for he has subjected himself to their service but before Jesus allows mankind to take his blood on the cross he gives God the privilege in the 70 in the final analysis it is God alone who force Christ's blood out of his Poor's and the Garden of the olive press the hour of sacrifice is not day tarmon to by grass being human hands it was determined by the father and a son in God's own time and quote Isaiah 53 says but the Lord was pleased to crush him in the olive press of the guest seminary and on the cross blow the Lord was pleased to crush him putting him to grief. I think that is the thing Mel Gibson never understood. The matter what the distinguishing feature of the movie The Passion wells the brutality of the pain inflicted by man. So that you could see a bloody person beyond recognition because of what man did to him but the important thing about his death and the most painful and agonizing thing about his death is not what man did to his body it was what God did do a soul in causing him to bear the full fury of his wrath in our place fully conscious. The New Testament puts it this way who who spared not his own song but delivered him up for us all how shall he not also with him freely give us all things now remember brother and that God treated his son like this and get some money for seeing bloody sweat God to use Mon on the cross made him drink the full fury of the cup because that is what it took to save sinners like you and me from our sins that is what it took and that is how horrendous your sins are. Now look at verses 45 and 46 and when he rose from prayer he came to his disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow and he said to them Why are you sleeping arise and pray that you may not enter into temptation now what do we see here we see 1st of all something humiliating taking place here is Jesus sweating drops of blood while his disciples are sleeping because they can't stand the weight of the sorrow as shoulder said here we see that Jesus Christ came to suffer and die for sleep verse . And here you see Jesus' love and concern for his disciples safety the remarkable thing about these 2 verses is that in the midst of his on paralleled agony Jesus comes to look after his vulnerable disciples and I don't know about any of you but when I'm sick or hurting I want people to think and serve me. Here Jesus is facing an excruciating death and he's thinking about his disciples he goes to check on them and warn them to tell them that they're going to fail in their struggle and be overwhelmed by their struggle if they are not spiritually awake and alert to face the sifting of their loyalties by Satan that will be coming their way and Jost off few hours so now do you see why a set at the very give beginning at these verses are so heavy. Let me now make a few conclusions the measure of Jesus agony against so many as the measure of man's sinfulness and of its disastrous and painful consequences in other words what do you see in the garden of God 70. You see what your sin and mine deserve nothing less the measure of Christ agony nga semi is the measuring of the suffering which Christ endured in bearing the wrath of God towards sinners the immensity of Christ agony in the garden of a seminary is in direct proportion to the agony which the saved men and women will face in hell when they drink the cost of God's raw Don't ever forget that the law of what Jesus experiencing is 70 is what every on believer experiences in hell throughout all eternity packed into 3 days my friend you don't want to go to hell and the only way you can keep from going to hell is by believing in the one who sweat great drops of blood and guts somebody and died on dog office cross and left an impi tomb that we might live with Him and worship him throughout all eternity. The measure of Christ agony and disseminate is the measure of the love of God for sinners which caused him to die that we might live now I've tried to paint for you today with the words that are very in adequate. And overwhelming picture of what Jesus experienced as a substitute for his people he did it because he loves us please understand. No one forced him to do this. It says one way or another throughout the book of Luke that Christ said his face steadfastly toward Drusilla almost as if he ran toward money and God author he voluntarily pursued the agony of the Cross that he experienced for all us into 70 ad and on God's law he eagerly pursued he and braced it that is how much he loves us no one could keep him off that cross no one could keep him from drinking the cop of God's wrath that's how much he loves you under me who believe in Him as our Lord and Savior. The story of Jesus in the garden of 70 makes clear what Jesus did for the salvation of people and that he did it all along there's no cooperation in our salvation in any way shape or form it's not that man does a little of Jesus a little every thing that was done to save men from their sins was done by Christ alone and we contribute Bob So lewdly not there is nothing we can achieve and nothing we does are Jesus paid at all. The suffering of Jesus is the tast and the standard of all human suffering if you think you have had to suffer for Jesus. Quickly compare what he suffered for you. His suffering for all should surely silence any complain for anything we have had to suffer or sacrifice or give up for him any suffering we experience in this world does not call near to approximate they are trying to do a bit softer rain for artists but a lot of the learn here in this story the power of prayer notice what they prayed for and what prayer did for them prayer did not deliver Jesus from suffering he didn't ask not to suffer but it delivered him through the suffering prayer didn't deliver Jesus from the pain and they are going to have suffering but it supported him protected him and delivered him through that suffering. So offer often you and I pray that God might get us out of adversity rather than getting through diversity. Prayer is actually one of God's primary provisions for our in durance and our perseverance and what Jesus said to his apostles that day applies to OS pray that you will not fail at fall into temptation and how do we normally pray. Lead us not even into temptation but deliver us completely from all evil for Vine is the kingdom and the power in the glory forever and because of the Lord I don't deserve any trials but love Jesus is the only one who never deserved one ounce of wrath or one moment of trial and yet for our sake. He suffered what not of can come close to comprehend and even gold. And how dare we. Just sit.
