00:00And I'm happy, so happy as onward I go

00:05Since Jesus came into my heart

00:10Since Jesus came into my heart

00:16Since Jesus came into my heart

00:21Flats of joy for my soul

00:24Like the sea billows fall

00:28Since Jesus came into my heart

00:36Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus.

00:40It's been such a thrill preparing, it always is.

00:43The person who gets blessed most is the person who prepares the message and stands here to share it.

00:48I've so enjoyed thinking of you all preparing a message.

00:51The theme tonight is the Holy Bible, the greatest romance of all time.

00:59Knowing who you all are, it's always a challenge.

01:02I wonder if there's something here you don't know.

01:05And even if you know it all, I think it's a good reminder.

01:08I think you'll enjoy it.

01:09The Bible is a true love story.

01:12All about Jesus.

01:15And all about us.

01:16Let's move on to the romance of the Bible.

01:20It comes tonight mainly from Genesis chapter 24 and Leviticus chapter 23.

01:27But I'm not there just yet.

01:29The story first.

01:31As Easter approached, an old Sunday school teacher taught his class about Easter and a little boy began to cry.

01:39Why are you crying?

01:42He was so sad.

01:44He said, Jesus never married.

01:48The old man said, ah, but he will.

01:52And out came a story, something like what you're going to hear now.

01:56The Bible can be summed up in four words.

01:58Paradise lost and paradise regained.

02:02You can also dig into it in so many places and get out the same stories.

02:05But the whole Bible is a romance about a father who had a son who had no wife.

02:13A wife had to be found.

02:17We are not fully aware of the Jewish betrothal process, which was in the Bible.

02:24But it has been used widely for thousands of years until almost our lifetimes.

02:29And still, marriages are arranged in many parts of the world, especially in the Muslim world, in the African world.

02:36In the 1990s, people were calling Princess Diana the fairy tale princess.

02:41Remember that?

02:43Well, you were divorced and it was a sad time.

02:47And at that time, I had just come out of my first house group.

02:50I'm now in five a week.

02:51They're a wonderful blessing.

02:52How else do you learn the Bible?

02:54What a wonderful thing retirement is.

02:56I didn't plan that.

02:57It just happened, really.

02:58This group and that group and here we are today.

03:01I love them all.

03:02And they're a very varied bunch of people, if you think of all five.

03:04Now, at that time, I realized I was blessed to have had such good Bible teaching with people like yourselves,

03:12including you, Barry, for one, you, Tony, for another.

03:16And Diana can't have had any of that.

03:19She might have been taught by a senior bishop, perhaps.

03:22I don't know.

03:23But there she was.

03:24And I'd seen in Ephesians chapter 5, the instructions to us men, husbands, love your wives.

03:31Don't try to understand her.

03:33You never will.

03:34Just love her.

03:35And that's good advice for any man.

03:37I also thought, Charles can't have had any of this teaching.

03:41Certainly doesn't fear the Lord God.

03:43And how sad that they haven't had the advantage that I've had.

03:49So I condensed what I'm going to say tonight into one page of A4.

03:52And I was able to send it by post to Diana.

03:55And I had a reply.

03:57Soon after, on August the 31st, 1997, she died in that car crash.

04:05Charles also can't have had this teaching of the scriptures, the Bible.

04:10So I wrote to him, and I sent him three lines from Deuteronomy, chapter 17.

04:15With me?

04:17Chapter 17, verses 18 and 19.

04:21Moses wrote,

04:22When he takes the throne of his kingdom,

04:25he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law

04:29taken from that of the priests who are Levites.

04:31It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life,

04:37so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God

04:39and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees.

04:45See, if we know something about the scriptures,

04:46and we know someone doesn't and they need it,

04:49well, Ezekiel 33,

04:52You're the watchman on the walls.

04:53You warn them, and that's fine.

04:55Then it's up to them.

04:55But if you don't warn them, God will have you.

04:58I thought I had to send these notes out,

05:00because it's not hard to write to do in short form.

05:04Who knows if that had any effect on Diana or Charles?

05:07I can't say I see that it had,

05:08but there we are.

05:09There you have it.

05:11So we're next.

05:12Well, we went to Mount Carmel in Israel in 2006

05:16for a two-week tour

05:18where they teach you all the references in the Bible to Israel

05:22and walk you around the land.

05:25There was a quiet elderly American on that trip.

05:28He seemed to know a lot, but he was very quiet.

05:30I asked him where he was there.

05:32I'm going on a lecture tour

05:33at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

05:36He was a professor.

05:38He knew his stuff.

05:39I asked, on what?

05:39And he replied, the Feasts of Israel.

05:42I remember saying to him,

05:44I had heard they all pointed to Jesus,

05:46but I didn't know how.

05:47Have you got a book?

05:49He said, it's in draft.

05:51I said, would you let me see it?

05:52Thinking he would never let out a draft.

05:55He kindly sent it to me by email very quickly.

05:58It wasn't well written.

05:59It was full of grammatical errors and no punctuation.

06:02But I learned two very precious things from that dear man.

06:06The big point is that we have words like feast, festival, and convocation.

06:12But he said they can also be translated recital or rehearsal.

06:18Recital or rehearsal.

06:19We'll come back to that.

06:21But those Feasts are all a recital or rehearsal, pointing to Jesus.

06:24Let us look at these appointed Feasts.

06:26They all point to this betrothal process, and you and I are included in that process.

06:32We're going to pick up a story from Genesis 24.

06:36It's a wonderful story.

06:37Abraham looking for a wife, his son Isaac, sending his servant back to his homeland to find a suitable bride, Isaac.

06:47And the servant, who's not named, is a wonderful man.

06:51He takes his ten camels and treasures, and he goes back to Abraham's home area.

06:57And he prays, if I see a girl come to a well of water, the animals, and I'll know she's the one.

07:02And she was the one.

07:02So, we'll pick up the story in this verse, Genesis 24, verse 53.

07:09It's 1857 B.C.

07:12Abraham sends his servant to find his bride, and he's told not to choose a bride from those awful Canaanites, like Ishmael had.

07:22It's a moving story, and the servant finds her drawing water for his ten camels and all their servants.

07:28And next to these lines, the servant of Abraham brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah.

07:37He also gave costly gifts to her brother and her mother.

07:42So, the key point is that a price was paid for the bride and costly gifts for the family.

07:51But 150 years later, the system is repeated in Genesis 34, 12.

07:55Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah, was ravished by Shechem, the prince of the Hivites.

08:01He loved her and proposed to marry her.

08:05He said to her father Jacob,

08:06Make the price for the bride and the gift as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask, and give me the girl as my wife.

08:14Once again, you've got this system, the price for the bride and the costly gifts.

08:20What does that make you think of?

08:21Jesus paid the price for us.

08:26He paid the bride price.

08:29He purchased us with his blood.

08:32There's no higher price he could have paid for you and me.

08:35We were bought at a price.

08:371 Corinthians 6.20

08:39You were bought at a price.

08:42It's in the last book of the Bible.

08:43Revelation 5.9

08:45You are a blood-bought servant of the Most High God.

08:49No, not nothing.

08:49That makes you valued rather highly in the eyes of heaven, not in the eyes of yourself.

08:56And then he and the Father gave us the gift, his love gift.

09:00In our case, the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

09:02The Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, is the fulfilment of the promise of Yahweh to Abraham in Genesis 12.3.

09:11Paul explains in Galatians 3 that we have been redeemed in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Jesus Christ,

09:21that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit, Galatians 3.14.

09:27Somehow that Lord God will make us holy, pure and spotless, a bride fit for Jesus.

09:33Remember, he promises that.

09:36I am the Lord who makes you holy.

09:38I've never felt holy at all.

09:40It's such a thrill to read he'll make you holy.

09:43Because you can't do it yourself.

09:45He'll do it.

09:45We just have to come to believe and repent.

09:49And he has to do the rest.

09:50And I think there's a mystery there.

09:54How many feasts did Jesus attend in a year?

09:57Well, to start with, there's the three annual pilgrim festivals listed in Exodus 23.

10:05The spring one around Easter, there's Pentecost, and there's the Harvest Festival, the Easter Tabernacles as well.

10:12I'll skip them to save some time.

10:14Feasts of the Lord come a little later on after the book of Exodus.

10:18In Leviticus, chapter 23, and they're repeated elsewhere.

10:22The Lord said to Moses, speak to the Israelites and say to them, these are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.

10:33And what was the first?

10:35The other feasts, people forget.

10:3752 of them a year.

10:39How many did Jesus attend?

10:41Presumably, 52 in the annual feast.

10:43Seven of them, that's 59.

10:46Purim, and Feast of Dedication, 61.

10:49And 12 new moon festivals, if they chose to have them.

10:5473, annual meetings for Yahweh.

10:57He attended them all.

10:58We know he went to Jerusalem, as was his custom, every year.

11:02So, he's our example.

11:04December feast.

11:06Six days, you may work.

11:07Seventh, you shall rest.

11:08And the Friday night meal was a real thrill in the Jewish household.

11:13The children loved it because they got the best food.

11:17And that is where, obviously, the head of the household taught the Torah.

11:21And I don't know how else Jesus learned the scriptures, except from his father and mother, perhaps, when he was brought up as a carpenter.

11:31What's next?

11:33Passover and unleavened bread.

11:35Leviticus 23, 5.

11:37Begins at twilight on the 14th day of the month, as you know.

11:41And seven days you must eat bread without yeast.

11:44Exodus 12, 3.

11:46Tells us something about the Passover.

11:48How they are to take a lamb, spotless year old male, and slaughter them at twilight.

11:55That's important.

11:56And they put blood on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses.

12:02Wood, presumably.

12:04Somewhat representing the cross.

12:06And when I see the blood, I will pass over you.

12:09It's been pointed out to me that if you look at the things the people wore in Ephesians chapter 6, they put on the helmet of salvation.

12:17The helmet of salvation is by the blood.

12:19And so it is suggested that Paul has a picture there of the blood over the head.

12:24So when Yahweh looks down on you, he doesn't see the sinful inside.

12:28He sees the blood of Jesus redeemed you.

12:31It's a nice little metal picture to have about the blood on the helmet.

12:35And so we were redeemed, says Peter, with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish.

12:42That affirms that he is the redeeming lamb.

12:46And Paul said something like it.

12:48For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

12:51And on the Baptist said twice, look, the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.

12:57So all those things confirm that Jesus is the lamb of God and they understood it in the early church.

13:05Now those words, recital or rehearsal.

13:08At the end of the Passover, you remember this, Exodus 12, 26?

13:12When your children ask you, what does this mean to you?

13:16Tell them it is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt

13:21and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.

13:25So by reciting it every year, they remembered it.

13:29And they should have spotted all these connections to Jesus.

13:32Well, of course, they failed, or most of them did.

13:34But later, around the world, people are seeing the connections.

13:38Here's our Passover lamb.

13:40What's next?

13:41Firstfruits.

13:43In Ephesians 23, 9.

13:45Firstfruits.

13:45The Lord said to Moses, speak to the Israelites and say to them,

13:48when you enter the land, yes, he has to bring a sheaf of the new harvest in.

13:54And as the priest waved that sheaf for a wave offering, on the day after Jesus was resurrected,

14:01there was the firstfruits of the resurrection standing in Jerusalem.

14:05And the priest was blind of it.

14:07Jesus fulfilled firstfruits in himself.

14:09That year, the high priest would have been there at the moment Jesus was appearing outside the tomb

14:18with his firstfruits offering, not knowing that all these priests are superseded by Jesus.

14:24A very important line in 1 Corinthians 15 about firstfruits.

14:28Paul explained,

14:29Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

14:35He's fulfilled firstfruits in himself.

14:37Then there's Pentecost, when he poured out the Holy Spirit, as you know,

14:42six weeks after the resurrection.

14:44And now there's an interval, an important interval.

14:48In the Last Supper discourse, John 14, verse 2, Jesus said,

14:54I am going there to prepare a place for you,

14:57and if I go and prepare a place for you,

14:59I will come back and take you to be with me,

15:03that you also may be where I am.

15:05It's the clearest statement in Scripture,

15:08that Jesus says, I'm coming back to take you with me.

15:12Then there's the Feast of Trumpets.

15:15So this is the day when they read the Torah, the law,

15:18on the first of the seventh month.

15:20And then in the next feast, a week later,

15:23there's Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement,

15:26that we just had.

15:28And it's to be a lasting ordinance,

15:31teaching in the next generations.

15:34And it's the only compulsory feast in the law.

15:40It's normally 25 hours long these days,

15:42to make sure it's more than 24.

15:43And that's, of course,

15:45why they get attacked on the 7th of October.

15:47That was Yom Kippur twice, as you know.

15:52Feast of Tabernacles, or Feast of Booths,

15:55is the last one.

15:56Probably the time of the year Jesus was born,

15:59because he came and tabernacled among us.

16:02And it fits with other scriptures,

16:04which we can look at at Christmas.

16:06And it's to remind them

16:07that they had to live that way

16:09when they came out of Egypt.

16:10To remind them that the Lord is their God.

16:13So there were four spring feasts,

16:16all fulfilled at Jesus' first coming.

16:19We are betrothed to Jesus.

16:21Betrothed.

16:21This is the betrothal process.

16:23Three autumn feasts will be fulfilled

16:25on his second coming.

16:27And at Feast of Tabernacles,

16:29the marriage will be consummated.

16:32Remember when, back in Genesis 24,

16:36Rebekah went back to his home

16:38with the servant, Abraham's servant,

16:40went into his mother's tent,

16:42because he'd just passed away.

16:44And the marriage was consummated.

16:47I think they lived very happily ever after.

16:50It's a nice story.

16:52So this whole story begins in the beginning

16:55and ends with,

16:57and they will live happily ever after.

17:00Amen.

17:02But there's something more to it.

17:03When we got married in this country,

17:06our names were entered into the parish books,

17:09registry of marriages.

17:11Where's your name now?

17:12Now where's that verse?

17:15It's in the last book from Revelation 17.9.

17:20What does it say?

17:21I've lost a note.

17:22It says,

17:23Your names are written in the Lamb's book of life

17:26from the creation of the world.

17:28That's where our names are written.

17:31They've been there a long time.

17:33The earthly marriage is to a death to a spot.

17:36The second marriage is forever and ever.

17:39And that's a nice note to end the talk on.

17:42Hallelujah.

17:42Amen.

17:45Now, I'd like to do things

17:46in a way that's non-standard.

17:49I've been to so many services

17:51in my youth upbringing,

17:53and today when I go to the Anglican Church,

17:54where it's the same exactly words

17:57chosen from 1 Corinthians 11 for Communion.

17:59Nothing wrong with it.

18:00It's from the Bible.

18:01But there are other ways to do Communion.

18:03And we have some entertainment here

18:06in a little song by some Jews.

18:12If you want to find it,

18:13it's the Red Sea Shanty.

18:15So we have six Israeli pirates

18:18singing this song

18:19about how Israel enjoys the Passover.

18:23The Jews have this unique way

18:24of saying something very serious

18:26in a very light way,

18:27which is quite nice after a serious sermon.

18:31This tells the story of the Exodus,

18:32as I said,

18:33they repeat it every year

18:34out of themselves.

18:35The young children answer the question,

18:37what does this mean to you?

18:38And they tell the story.

18:40The song contains the words,

18:42what shall we do with the middle matzo?

18:44Early in the Seder,

18:46there were three matzo's of unleavened bread

18:48with holes in them,

18:50representing the bread of heaven,

18:53holes in them,

18:54the middle matzo,

18:55Jesus on the cross.

18:57And what they used to do

18:58was hide the middle one.

19:00And I said,

19:00I don't know how to find it.

19:01I found it earlier,

19:02and it's there.

19:04So it'll save some time.

19:06Why don't you try and find it

19:07if I hide it?

19:08And Jews understand

19:09this is called the epikomion.

19:11It's a word for Jesus,

19:12the Messiah.

19:14And they learn to find this bread,

19:16the epikomion,

19:17but don't see that it's Jesus.

19:19So much points to it.

19:20It's extraordinary

19:21how Yahweh has put

19:22so many signs in place,

19:24which we see,

19:25believers see it,

19:26but until they believe,

19:27they just can't see it.

19:28So what should we do

19:32with the middle matzo?

19:33Hide it away.

19:33It's the epikomion.

19:36And Jesus, of course,

19:38was pierced through our transgressions.

19:40Middle cross,

19:41he'll explain that.

19:43And we read in John 19, 36,

19:45these things happen

19:46so that the scripture

19:47will be fulfilled.

19:48None of his bones

19:49will be broken.

19:50Exodus 12, 46.

19:51Do not break any of the bones.

19:53Another sign he fulfilled.

19:54And of course,

19:56Zechariah 12, 10.

19:57They will look on me,

19:59the one they have pierced.

20:02There once was a time

20:03in Egypt land.

20:05The Jews were slaves

20:06in the desert sand.

20:07We cried out for

20:08an outstretched hand.

20:09Oh, let my people go.

20:12Soon may our freedom come

20:14to bring us liberty,

20:15peace and fun.

20:16One day when the pharaohs

20:18have done,

20:18he'll let my people go.

20:21Brave Moses

20:21with his shepherd's rod

20:23had heard the mighty

20:24voice of God.

20:25It said,

20:26tell Pharaoh,

20:27clear and strong,

20:27to let my people go.

20:30Soon may our freedom come

20:32to bring us liberty,

20:33peace and fun.

20:35One day when the pharaohs

20:36have done,

21:04Later in the Seder.

21:07Soon may our freedom come

21:09to bring us liberty,

21:10peace and fun.

21:11One day when the pharaohs

21:13have done,

21:13he'll let my people go.

21:15Now Pharaoh's heart

21:16was not appeased.

21:18No Hebrew slave

21:19shall ever go free.

21:20But Moses said,

21:21let's wait and see,

21:22the plagues began to grow.

21:24Oy!

21:25Soon may our freedom come

21:27to bring us liberty,

21:28peace and fun.

21:29One day when the pharaoh's outdone,

21:31he'll let my people go.

21:34Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee.

21:36Just lean to the left

21:37and we'll tell the tale

21:38of how we left Egypt.

21:40God split the sea

21:42and we walked across

21:43with no need for a ship.

21:45But first before we get to that,

21:47there's sons and questions for,

21:50just when you think

21:51it's almost done,

21:52there's three hours more.

21:54There's three hours more.

21:56For Pharaoh sent men after us,

22:01their lives would soon be lost.

22:03And we spill wine drops

22:05from our cups

22:06cause freedom had a cost.

22:08Cause freedom had a cost.

22:10So every year we celebrate
