So we are continuing in Isaiah and we are up to chapter 12 and what I want you to
notice in verse number 4 it begins by saying in that day in that day we'll
talk about in a moment shall you say praise the Lord call upon his name
declare his doings among the people make mention that his name is exalted the
title of the sermon this morning is his name is exalted his name the name of the
Lord is exalted I want his name to be exalted he had blessed up at the church
this morning and I thank you for praising him thank you for singing with
your heart and with your with your mouth and of course all I want all I want from
our church is to put a smile on God's face I just want him to be happy I want
him to be pleased with our church here in Fairfield I want him to be pleased in
the church and New Life Baptist Church and so it's so important that we teach
the truth of his word you know that we exalt him and we we make known his word
we know that he elevates his name about his word above his name and so the the
Word of God is very important to God if we honor his word we're going to honor
his name and we're going to please our Lord God so I do want to notice that
when we did see the beginning of verses before it says in and in that day and
that's how verse number one begins look at verse number one it says and in that
day and so just to bring you up to speed what day are we referring to when we're
looking at chapter 12 what day in that day of course it's speaking about what
we spoke about in Isaiah 11 so come back with me to Isaiah 11 very quickly just
as a reminder Isaiah 11 look at verse number 10 for example Isaiah 11 verse
number 10 it says and in that day so again it's a continuation of what we saw
in verse number chapter 11 sorry and in that day there shall be a root of Jesse
which shall stand from ensign of the people to which shall the Gentiles seek
and his rest shall be glorious and so I was teaching how this is speaking of the
millennial reign of Christ when he comes back to this earth and reigns for a
thousand years it says to thee shall the Gentiles seek in other words the
entire world all the nations are going to be looking to Jesus as the ruler but
also as the Savior and the knowledge of God's going to be known throughout the
whole world instead of soul winners having to go out you know and basically
shining light in a place of darkness I still believe someone's gonna have to
show people the gospel but the salvation of the Lord's going to be well
understood you know and there's going to be a majority of people that have
trusted on Jesus Christ in that day and even though he's ruling from Israel and
there's still some twelve tribes of Israel on the land all the nation of the
earth will know the name of God and so when we start chapter 12 in that day
it's speaking of the continuation of that time in the mill in his millennial
reign but we can also look at chapter 12 because it speaks of salvation and of
course for those that will be ruling with Christ in that thousand years a
people that are saved and you know when you're saved the Bible speaks of being
regenerated in the spirit but of course we are expecting the rapture to come
after the great tribulation before God pours out his wrath at the rapture we're
going to receive new resurrected bodies and our bodies will be regenerated and
so of course to enter into that millennium reign with Jesus Christ you
must be saved and so chapter 12 begins teaching us about that time but also the
salvation that is given to his people and so if you look at Isaiah chapter
actually before we start with verse number one there's something I do want
to turn to keep your finger there and come with me to 2nd Kings come with me
to the book of 2nd Kings please 2nd Kings chapter 21 2nd Kings chapter 21
please again keep your finger there in Isaiah 12 and the reason we're turning
to 2nd Kings is because 2nd Kings is the 12th book of the Bible and I've been
showing you how there are parallels with the number of books the way that the
books are numbered in the Bible with the corresponding chapters of Isaiah so I
want to bring you to up to speed to a better story of Manasseh King Manasseh
and his father was King Hezekiah we have had a look at King Hezekiah in the
previous chapters and how King Hezekiah was a godly King King Hezekiah's father
was a wicked King but Hezekiah himself was a godly King and he took down the
idols he he rebuilt the altars and you know he brought the nation back to
worshiping the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and even though he was a great
King what we see in Isaiah as Isaiah is preaching the nation itself is wicked
like even though Hezekiah is great the nation is still worshiping false gods
the people the families have still chosen many of them of course have many
chosen to still worship the gods the false gods of the surrounding nations
rather than the God of Israel and so eventually of course King Hezekiah
passes away and his son Manasseh begins to reign in his stead and we read about
King Manasseh here in second Kings chapter 21 and the reason I'm going to
this story is so when we start Isaiah 11 verse number one you have a better
picture of what's what's developing here but in second Kings 21 verse 1 second
Kings 21 verse 1 the Bible reads Manasseh was 12 years old when he began to reign
how would you like to be 12 years old and being a king over entire nation I
mean you're going to mess things up pretty badly and he does and yeah and of
course look he's 12 years old obviously at 12 years old he's been directed by
other people okay he's got you know counselors and he's got advisors and
because the nation is still wicked of course this had an impact on his life
and it says he and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem and his mother's
name was Hepzibar and he did look at this he did that which was evil in the
sight of the Lord after the abominations of the heathen whom the
Lord cast out before the children of Israel and so Hezekiah's father was a
bad king Hezekiah was a good king and then his son starts out wicked okay
becomes wicked and he goes back to the way it was with his grandfather
worshipping the gods of the other nations verse number three it says for he
built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed
remember Hezekiah destroys all those idols all those places of false worship
to false gods his son turns around starts building them up again you know
we learn a lesson fathers that you know it's our responsibility it is our task
of course to teach our children about God you know to read the Bible to them
you know to show them the love of God to show them salvation and you can do the
best job that you can I mean there are great men of God like even Samuel okay
even King David is a great example you know great men of God who love God who
directed the children to love God but at the end of the day it's the children
they're gonna have to make their own decisions in life you know the world is
wicked the world is tempting you know the world's gonna throw all matters of
philosophies and ideas and things that are contrary to to the God of the Bible
and our children are going to be influenced you look as much as we
protect them they've got to operate in the world eventually eventually they're
going to get out there and depending on how strong their faith is is going to
depend on how well they perform in the world if their faith is weak they're
going to be influenced by the world if their faith is strong they're still
going to be influenced by the world but of course they're going to have a better
chance of overcoming the influences and the evil that that the world brings into
their life and so as much as Hezekiah tore down the false worship you know
there is his son King Manasseh building them all up again and let's keep going
there in verse number three it says and he reared up altars to Baal and made a
grove and as did Ahab king of Israel and worshiped all the hosts of heaven and
served them when it says he worshiped all the hosts of heaven he's not talking
about the third heaven where God's throne is well you know worshiping God
when it's all the hosts of heaven he's saying that he's worshiping the Sun the
moon the stars okay so things like what's that religion that what's the
well they look at the stars and they fall to the future what's all that
astrology astrology not astronomy that's the study right astrology so basically
he's got some form of astrology right they're worshiping the Sun the Sun the
moon the stars that's our God you know that's going to tell us how we're going
to live our lives it's by looking at these objects that we're going to be
able to foretell the future and so he's gone this direction against the Lord God
and verse number four it says and he built altars in the house of the Lord so in the
house of the Lord that's a temple he starts worshiping altars for other false
gods in the temple he says of this and then it says this of which the Lord said
in Jerusalem will I put my name so God said look Jerusalem is where my name is
worshipped and then we have King Manasseh put in the names of false gods
in the very temple of God now the reason I read that to you if you can and we
read um sorry I'll just read it to you again in where are we up to here as I
took the 12 if you've got a finger as I told come back with me please as I 12
and look at the last verse in Isaiah 12 and verse number six in Isaiah chapter 12
verse number six says this cry out and shout thou inhabitants of Zion remember
Zion is a reference to Jerusalem it says here for great is the holy one of Israel
in the midst of thee so according to that verse who should be worshipped in Zion who
should be worshipped in Jerusalem our Lord God right the holy one of Israel
and what do we see happening in second kings the opposite okay King Manasseh
put in false gods worshiping false gods in the very house of God now we are going to come back
to Isaiah 12 Isaiah 12 is not a very long chapter obviously so I'm trying to give you some other
stories that will help flesh out what we're seeing in Isaiah 12 now what is the end of King Manasseh
though he reigned for 55 years so he had a very long time reign as a king more than many of the
other kings of that day come with me now to second chronicles let's see the end of his life second
chronicles 33 verse 9 second chronicles 33 second chronicles 33 now look in your own time you can
read about more wicked acts of King Manasseh in second Kings 21 if you want but he did horrible
things such as sacrificing his children to the fires you know just the most horrendous things
that you can read about and in second chronicles chapter 33 verse number nine there's a reason why
I'm showing you these verses okay second chronicles 33 verse number nine it says so Manasseh made Judah
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err that means to make to to make error okay they've gone the
wrong way it says and to do worse than the heathen whom the Lord had destroyed before the
children of Israel worse like the nation's doing worse than all the other pagan and heathen nations
that surround it you can better understand when you go through Isaiah you know the book of Isaiah
why God's judgment is so severe why he's warning them again and again and he's giving them chance
of the chance to be made right with God and look at verse number 10 and the Lord spoke to Manasseh
and to his people but they would not hearken and it says that the Lord spoke to Manasseh they
would not hearken God sent them prophets like Isaiah okay and God would speak to the people
you know God would plead with the people and they would not hearken now brethren every time we read
stories of the bible they're meant to be lessons for us lessons for us okay I am the pastor of this
church I'm the main preacher here you know a new testament prophet if you will all right my job is
to tell you what God's word says my question is are you going to hearken to those words
are you going to listen are you going to pay attention are you going to put them into
practice in life it's up to you like God is so generous with his time and so merciful so long
suffering with us but it's at the end it's free will are you going to hearken or not are you going
to listen or not Manasseh chose not to listen this is why he's gone down a dark path I have no doubt
Hezekiah his dad taught him well have no doubt Hezekiah showed him every truth of God's word
try to protect them from the wickedness of the world but Manasseh just doesn't listen okay and
look every time we sin every time well I'm not saying some of you are just the most righteous
amazing you know holy people and some of you just the most wicked we all don't hearken every time
you sin every day when you sin the moment when you sin when you give into temptation you say no Lord
I'm not going to listen to what you have to say I'm going to do what I want every time so you know
as wicked as this is and stories I want you to take the lessons and apply them to yourself take
them to heart and then it says here in verse number 11 second chronicles 33 11 wherefore the
Lord brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria which took Manasseh among
the thorns and bound him with fetters and carried him to Babylon so God says all right I'm going to
let you be arrested taken prisoner into Babylon look at verse number 12 and when he was in
affliction he besought the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his
fathers brethren when you're far from the Lord and you know you're far from the Lord and you know
you're not walking with him and God brings his chastisement on your life you better do what
Manasseh does you better humble yourself greatly before the Lord you better say look what he says
he besought the Lord his God okay Hezekiah taught him this is our God and all these years he's like
no that's not my God I'm going to worship other gods but God allows me to go through great
affliction arrested taken into prison treated harshly and so he calls on the Lord
look at verse number 13 and prayed unto him and he was entreated of him and heard his supplication
and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom then Manasseh knew that the Lord
he was God that's it look he ends well like his later years he ends well praise God we have
examples in the bible where kings start well and they end badly we have an example here a king
starting badly but he ends well and the reason I show you that brethren is our Lord is merciful
this guy sacrificed his children in fire
like at some point you'd be like I wouldn't be surprised I wouldn't I wouldn't like for us to
be like that guy must be reprobate right I mean obviously he was not reprobate you know but what
we're seeing here is that some people can be so excessively wicked and God still stretches out
his hand of mercy still God still hears the prayers of a man that says sorry God I was
worshiping the wrong things I was turning my heart to the wrong things but look it took great
affliction okay and some of you are saved some of you have trusted Christ simply because of great
affliction in your life where your life is upside down your life is falling apart relationship
problems you know marriage problems you know financial problems all kinds of problems and you
said God where are you I need to hear from you and you spoke to the Lord and he's come through
he's shown you the wonderful gospel and you trusted him but that's the lesson that we see
of King Manasseh again what we started with in second Kings 21 so come back with me because
we're going for Isaiah aren't we so let's go back to Isaiah 12. Isaiah 12 please Isaiah 12
and I think now that we understand that story we understand God's mercy and love and we see even
a man so wicked able to come to faith in the Lord God of his father Hezekiah then we can understand
what verse number one is speaking about here in Isaiah 12 verse one and in that day now we're
now again we're talking about the millennium we understand that those that were going to rule
with Christ are going to be those that are saved Manasseh is going to be one of them
okay believe it or not Manasseh a wicked man I mean who he is not wicked who he has not done
wrong can I see your hand good okay good if you raise your hand I've got to talk to you later on
I mean look praise God that he's able to look down at our wickedness our wickedness was put on
Jesus Christ our sins were put on Christ and he paid for them on the tree okay and he's given us
salvation praise God because then we see this in that that in that sorry and in that day that
shall say oh Lord I will praise thee though that was angry with me thine anger is turned away
and thou comfortest me so think of King Manasseh was God angry at King Manasseh absolutely
to the point where he allows a foreign nation to take him prisoner but then his anger was
turned away because Manasseh humbled himself look all he did and I have taught him pride
we all have pride you know when you humble yourself and you've got a broken and contrite
spirit within you God looks down and is pleased you've got to exalt God right the title for the
sermon this morning was his name is exalted we come to church to exalt Jesus not pastor Kevin
Sepulveda not brother or sister so and so we come to exalt the name of Jesus because he's our
savior his anger was turned away from us and it says and thou comfortest me he gave Manasseh back
the kingdom I mean I don't think I would do that like I don't think I'm that merciful like to see
such the wickedness of a man and restore to him the kingdom in his later years I don't think I'd
do that if I was you know if I was God shows us that his mercy his grace is far superior than
what any man's mercy can be so much so that he offered his son to die in your place and so this
is the story this is what we're going to be praising God in the millennium that yeah he was
angry at us we were sinners we went our own way you know we may have worshipped other gods if you
came from a you know a family of false religion but his anger has been turned away he comforts us
and just like he gave Manasseh the kingdom brethren we're going to have the kingdom of Christ
like unbelievable like who are we to reign with Christ you know he says we're going to be made
kings and priests in his kingdom who are we to deserve such a thing who is Manasseh to deserve
his kingdom restored unto him and of course again we're again speaking of the thousand year rule of
Christ let's continue verse number two behold God is my salvation why are you saved this morning
because you're a good person are your good works your salvation
is blessed hope Baptist church your salvation is pastor Kevin Sepulveda your salvation if you said
yes to any of those in your heart there's something wrong again i've got to talk to you
and if you're getting baptized and you said yes to any of those i've got to talk to you as well
you're not getting baptized don't worry look you've got to get saved and and look God is
our salvation we can't we can't save ourselves we can't do enough good works to save ourselves
we can't just find the right church that's preaching all the right things and that's what
saves me it's not going to save you either it's God God is our salvation
understand Jesus Christ had to die on the cross for a reason i mean christianity as a whole
they know like how many churches have a cross you know on their building or you know behind the
preacher or somewhere in the building they've got a cross but they still think keeping the
ten commandments is my salvation they don't look at the cross and understand it's God who died for
me that's my salvation and if you're able to say it's his shed blood his death his burial his
resurrection that saves me then that's the right approach it's what God has done for you that saves
you look at this i will trust verse number two people say to me all the time but i believe he
died yeah but you don't trust that he died for you you don't trust that he paid for all of your sins
because you're still trying to pay your own sins in your own way you haven't put your trust on
Jesus you know the bible uses the word trust and believe interchangeably it's the same thing
if you're if you're going dorsal soul winning and you're having a hard time explaining to someone
that they need to put their belief or their faith on Jesus and they're a christian to some extent
and they say but i have believed on Jesus i do believe in him but you know they haven't
because they said earlier i'm a good person that's what i'm going to heaven because i said
earlier i'm taking keeping the ten commandments they said earlier i can lose it if i don't live
righteously you know they haven't put their trust on Jesus and so it's the best way to show people
if they're confused on that term is to show them that believe is to trust you're still trusting in
yourself you're still trying to keep the commandments yourself to be saved no you need
to put your trust on Jesus who was perfect who was without sin and it's through Jesus Christ that we
can enter heaven so trust verse number two let's read again behold God is my salvation i will trust
and not be afraid brethren the moment you put your trust on Jesus there's no more fear of death
there's no more fear of what's going to happen in eternity you know what's going to you know
how is God going to judge me for my sin he's not going to your sins have been judged already on the
cross Christ has paid for all of your sins look when you stand before God on his throne praise
God he sees you through the righteousness of Jesus Christ he doesn't see you for your own
righteousness which are like filthy rags he doesn't bring up your sins that is forgiven
no he sees the righteousness of Jesus and he welcomes you into heaven based on what Jesus has
done that's why we don't need to be afraid once you're saved hey i know where i'm going maybe i
might be a little bit afraid of how i will die but i'm not afraid of death i'm not afraid of
eternity i'm not afraid to stand before God i'm not afraid because you're prideful no because
i'm standing in the righteousness of Jesus Jesus was 100 perfect so when God sees me i'm 100 perfect
in Jesus Christ not afraid and then it says this for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song
he also is become my salvation okay so you can either take this to speak of King Manasseh
you know preach singing spiritually as it were a spiritual illustration of King Manasseh
you know you can take this of course for those that are going to rule with Christ that thousand
years we're going to be praising of him where it's on the previous chapter the whole earth will know
of him and so all of these things are applicable but one thing i do want you to notice here in
verse number two is that it says for the Lord Jehovah is my strength you know i think this
might be the only time i didn't check this but i i could i believe i'm right i believe this is
the only time you're going to see the term Lord Jehovah together in your King James Bible and when
you look at the word Jehovah there it's the word Lord like that's why it's together the Lord
Jehovah and in the Hebrew it's known as the tetragrammaton the tetragrammaton i don't know
if you've heard of that before now there was a discussion not long ago on the one of the church
chats about you know why do some people call Jehovah the name Jehovah as it's translated
in English for us as Yahweh not Yahweh as is it Yahweh yeah Yahweh it is why why do people say no
no the name of God is Yahweh now first of all it's pretty much like the Jehovah witnesses right
or the Jehovah false witnesses what do they say to you they say well in order for you to be saved
you must know the real name of God Jehovah now look is Jehovah one of his names of course
okay but today in the new testament you're not saved by the name Jehovah okay so i want to show
you a few things here keep your finger there and come with me to exodus chapter 6 please
come with me to exodus chapter 6 exodus chapter 6 i feel this is something important to understand
in the scriptures because there is a crazy desire to return back to the Hebrew you know known as the
Hebrew roots movement and people will say to you hey the name of Jesus that's not really his name
his name is jeshua and god's real name is Yahweh and you better get these names right in order for
you to be saved and yet you open your bible and you'll never see those names anywhere in your
bible okay so let me just give you a bit of history regarding this in exodus chapter 6 and
verse number 2 and god spake unto moses and said unto him i am the lord that's Jehovah right there
okay and i appeared unto Abraham and unto Isaac and unto Jacob by the name of god almighty but by
my name Jehovah was i not known to them so Abraham Isaac and Jacob great men of god amen god says
they did not know my name as Jehovah so if you have to be saved by the name of Jehovah that's
not right because how did Abraham Isaac and Jacob get saved they knew him by god almighty
so what we see here is that the very first saints believers when you caught upon the name of the
lord they caught upon the name of god almighty when it began when we start with moses and the
the old cup the old testament or the old covenant god revealed his name as Jehovah or lord capital
l capital o capital r capital d Jehovah okay now that's known as the like i said the tetragrammaton
i feel like i'm pronouncing that wrong no that's the right way to pronounce it okay and people are
saying well that's not really how it should be pronounced because Jehovah is the latinized form
of it now i just want to show you that god has revealed himself in different names at different
times okay god almighty before the old covenant under the old covenant Jehovah and in the new
covenant okay let's go to um acts of the four let's go to action the four versus number 12
action the four versus number 12 acts chapter four and verse number 12
of course the new name that we're given about god is found in new testament is jesus
you know jesus and in acts 4 12 it says neither is there salvation in any other
for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved
there is no other name reverend in the new testament you must call upon jesus to be saved
jesus was jehovah jesus is god almighty that's who he is the son of god who sacrificed himself
for our sins jesus
jesus in spanish
what is it in greek brother do you know
jesus what is it in uh asirian
tom what is it in australian
jesus
australian english american english british english jesus
all right this is the name that god has given us whereby we must
be saved like if i'm going to get any doctrine of the bible right like if god says all right you
got a choice you get one doctrine right and everything else wrong the one i'm going to get
right is salvation like that is by far the most important doctrine and that doctrine teaches me
that i need to call upon them with jesus to be saved yeshua who's that yahweh who's that
i have no idea who those names are they're not in your bible i don't know who they are
god did not reveal those names to anybody god almighty jehovah jesus
okay now how did jesus pronounce the tetra grammaton does anyone know
did you say yeah yahweh come with me to um come with me to luke chapter four please
luke chapter four
you're still you still got a finger in isaiah don't you so go to luke four and go to isaiah
61 please go to isaiah 61 let's read from isaiah 61 first isaiah 61 verse number one
isaiah 61 and verse number one please
i'll give you a minute's turn there to luke chapter four and isaiah 61
isaiah 61 verse 1 reads the spirit of the lord god is upon me because the lord that's a
tetra grammaton okay you see most of the times when the english king james translators translated
that name sometimes jehovah but most often the lord capital l capital o capital r capital d
because the lord have anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek he have sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them
that abound look at verse number two to proclaim the acceptable year of the lord or jehovah or the
tetra grammaton and the day of vengeance of our god to comfort all that mourn now that passage
of scripture should be pretty familiar because it's a passage of scripture that was read by
jesus okay so come with me to luke chapter 4 and verse number 17
look we've been given the old testament we've been given the new testament the job of this church
is to preach the bible not what some scholarly man says the real name of god is now i want to
know what the bible says god's real name is how did jesus speak of this name in luke chapter 4
verse number 17 and there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet isaias
and when he had opened the book he found the place where it was written the spirit of the
lord is upon me because he or in the old testament says the lord there anointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor he have sent me to heal the brokenhearted to preach deliverance to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind to set at liberty them that are bruised look at this to
preach the acceptable year of the lord it doesn't say to preach the acceptable year of yahweh
how did god choose to translate this in the new testament the lord the acceptable year of the lord
so how did jesus pronounce the tetragrammaton the lord
the new testament was written in greek
do you think god cares look if you don't understand what okay after after jerusalem
was destroyed in 70 a.d and the jews were all scattered hebrew became a dead language
there's nothing wrong with the language it's not righteous language it's not wicked language
it's just a language like any other language and for 2 000 years nobody spoke hebrew the jews
started to speak yiddish okay nobody knows what hebrew sounds like what biblical old testament
hebrew sounds like nobody knows what it sounds like okay back in those days there was no tape
recorder there were no videotapes there was no youtube to capture how they spoke how they
pronounce the words not only that even more difficult is that the hebrew language has no
vows so with vows you can't even get the word out you don't know what it sounds like
does that seem like a major problem to god god says you know what we need the new testament in
greek and when it's translated what jesus spoke it's translated in greek and it's translated as
in greek as kyrios if that's the right word if that's the right pronunciation which is the lord
in english that's why the english king james translators went with the lord more often than
jehovah and did not say yahweh because who knows what even that name is
or even yeshua nobody knows that's the hebrew way to pronounce jesus name
well if that was important god would have told us in his word if that was important
god would have made sure that the hebrew language stayed true till today so we know how
to pronounce hebrew language we have no idea how to pronounce it modern day hebrew is at best a
good attempt at trying to speak the language but they have no idea what it sounds like
and then the scholar comes up to you it's yahweh
it's yeshua for jesus look i truly believe the reason for this hebrew roots movement garbage
is to move our trust away from the name of jesus
they're calling upon the name of yeshua who is that
you say well that's joshua okay it is okay there's plenty of joshuas in the world
okay do you call upon the name of joshua to be saved they call by the name of jesus that's the
name that god recorded for us in his word if you start telling me pastor no you got it wrong you
need to go back to the hebrew well so you're smarter than god you know something that god
didn't want us to know that god did not reveal look the emphasis in the new testament is the
name of jesus
i'll read it again neither is there salvation in any other
that's what it says for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we
must be saved none of the name he's given us the name of jesus yeshua yahweh who are these people
who are these gods i don't know i don't know them the bible doesn't give you those names
okay so please don't be sidetracked don't start thinking oh man we've got to go back to him
go back to his word god's word is the most important thing okay learning from god's word
god what name have you given us what name am i going to trust what name is my salvation for
everything in the new testament we've got the honor to know the name of the son of god
jesus christ back to isaiah 12 please isaiah 12 isaiah 12 verse number three isaiah 12 verse 3
by the way when jesus spoke his native tongue what was his native tongue
aramaic when the bible records his native tongue you know on the cross you know eli eli
lamash shabakthani the jews did not understand they're like oh they call him for he's calling
for elijah give him something to drink right he's calling for elijah no he's calling on god
he's speaking aramaic now did jesus know hebrew of course he knew hebrew okay because he also
walked jesus spent most of his time in galley they spoke aramaic there okay god translated the
new testament in greek because that was the international language of the time we have the
name jehovah as latin because we had the roman empire as the power of that time okay and obviously
there were times that jesus had to interact in jerusalem in judea okay teaching there and of
course he must have been teaching in hebrew okay for the people to understand okay but the native
tongue of jesus was aramaic so this are the holy hebrew language and we've got to go back and name
it it's just it's garbage it's garbage to drive you away from the name of jesus okay
verse number three therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation
so this is what salvation is brethren this is how easy it is jesus offers you water you say
thank you nice water great salvation no work required okay you know and jesus says in john
4 14 but whosoever drinketh of the water that i shall give him shall never thirst but the water
that i shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life look now
look now that you're saved the bible says you've got a well of water a well of water
springing up into everlasting life well what the verse number three say therefore with joy shall
you draw water out of the wells of salvation when you combine that with the new testament you are
the well of salvation you are the one that you'll need to go to people and say hey i've got a well
of water in me let me show you how i got saved and you can be saved too that's you going out
preaching the gospel of jesus christ verse number four and in that day shall you say praise the lord
call upon his name his name yahweh and yeshua no call upon jesus declare his doings among the
people make mention that his name is exalted remember the top what is the context of this
the millennial reign of jesus in the in that thousand years who are they going to be glorifying
yahweh no jesus
what am i up to i'm losing track five sing unto the lord for he have done excellent things
this is known in all the earth cry out and shout though inhabitants of zion for great is the holy
one of israel in the midst of thee so the entire world in the millennium is going to be praising
god jesus christ is going to be ruling from zion okay and again i had mentioned about a physical
nation of israel of regenerated people people that have been saved old testament saints ruling with
christ in that thousand years because they're it says in verse six cry out and shout they're
inhabitants of zion so again there's going to be habitation in that place you know we know that
the 12 apostles are going to be ruling over the 12 tribes of israel during the millennial reign
of christ now what i want to end with is let's go back to second kings because second kings is
the 12th book of the bible and something is said very similar in here in second kings chapter 5
second kings chapter 5 second kings chapter 5 while you're turning to second kings of the five
let me read one more time from isaiah 12 verse 5 it says sing unto the lord for you have done
excellent things this is known in all the earth so again all the nations all gentile nations
are going to be praising the lord god and they're going to be saying for he have done excellent
things okay they're going to be saying for great is the holy one of israel in the midst of thee
okay what makes israel holy if jesus is in the midst of thee again modern day israel is garbage
god is not in the midst of them jesus is not worshiped jesus is not praised
okay i'm not i never look when i'm preaching about israel and a godly israel i'm never talking
about modern day israel 1948 israel okay that's a garbage nation that's a garbage religion okay
i'm talking about the israel of the thousand years that all the nations of the earth can
be praising jesus because he rules from zion now coming to your day already second kings five
second kings five let me show you of a gentile man here in verse number one now nayim captain
of the host of the king of syria so he's not he's not a jew he's not a hebrew he's nothing like that
right he's he's a syrian he says he was a great man with his master and honorable because by him
the lord had given deliverance unto syria he was also a mighty man in valor but he was a leper
so he got this great man this powerful man but he becomes leprous okay now i'm not going to
tell you the whole story let's go to verse number nine so he goes to a prophet he says look he gets
instructed look go to israel go to where god is okay and so in verse number nine second kings
verse number nine says so nayim came with his horses and with his chariot and stood at the
door of the house of elijah and elijah sent a messenger unto him saying go and wash in jordan
seven times and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shall be clean so it tells name look
your leprous go and wash yourself in jordan jordan river seven times wash yourself again get back in
wash yourself again wash yourself seven times okay and you'll be clean you'll be clean from
leprosy well again let's fast forward a little bit verse number 14 then went he down and dipped
himself seven times in jordan according to the saying of the man of god and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of a little child and he was clean you know why it says the flesh of a little
child first of all little child's flesh is smooth nice but it's got no scars it's got no like you
know as you live your life you damage your skin don't you like this the sign itself damages your
skin okay well he once it gets washed and cleansed it's not like he gets he doesn't get fixed like
he was before he had leprosy his skin gets fixed like a newborn baby like there's not a single
problem with his skin like that's the miracle that took place in name's life
and then verse number 15 it says now i want you to know what he says again this is a gentile okay
and returned to the and he returned to the man of god he and all his company and came and stood
before him and he said behold now i know that there is no god in all the earth but in israel
now therefore i pray thee take a blessing of thy servants will say now i know that there is no god
in all the earth but in israel it goes look the only place where the true god is is in israel
what are they going to be saying in the millennium same thing all the earth are going to be saying
the same thing you know just like name was cleansed just like a gentile was cleansed
you know these all these people are going to know the the salvation of our lord jesus christ
you know there's going to be a majority of people saved at least in the early days of
the millennium praising god worshiping god you know leprosy many times in the bible is a
picture of our sin nature you know even though you may not have leprosy on the outside you know
sin is like leprosy on the inside you know and it stains us and and it's filthy before god but
god of course cleanses us you know god saved manasseh god's saved name you know and you've
got these these gentiles you know that have trust in false gods when they know that christ
is ruling in zion in the millennium they're going to be praising him saying well there's only one
true god the god of israel and so we see these parallels there with ziah 12 and you know um
and uh second kings and so as i said the title for the sermon this morning was his name is exalted
i hope you understand the importance to exalt jesus he saved you i mean you're going to heaven
like man it's not like oh okay i'm not going to hell that's that's awesome that's awesome okay
we're safe from hell great and i'm going to heaven great but he's got a mansion for you
he's got positions of authority he wants to give you maximum reward you're going to be a joint
heir with christ the bible says you're going to inherit all things in heaven and earth
praise god like think about your position before god is it not worthy to be exalted
is god not worthy to be praised and loved and honored and look like manasseh like nayim
some of you guys were filthy people worshiping false gods you know you've been saved by jesus
christ and look i hope you can take the sermon this morning and say you know what i don't want
to be like manasseh who refused to hear the word of god you know i i need to find victory in my sin
i need to live a life that is holier that is cleaner a life that pleases god because we can
exalt him with our mouth but let's exalt him with all our body and sin with sin in our bodies let's
let's try to fix that in our lives and brevin when you do sin don't forget just like manasseh
all we need to do is call upon him in in humility and he's ready to forgive us you need we need to
learn our lessons from chastisement from time to time but don't forget in all times whether you're
in chastisement whether you're living the most spiritual life today
make sure that you exalt his name okay let's pray
