Caption transcript for Revelation: Unveiling the Visions — “Ultimate Triumph” (8/8)

• 00:03 male announcer: Welcome to "Our Jewish Roots" with
• 00:06 insightful Bible teaching by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
• 00:12 ♪♪♪
• 00:22 ♪♪♪
• 00:28 David Hart: We are so glad you've joined
• 00:29 us today, I'm David Hart.
• 00:31 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 00:32 Jeffrey Seif: Jeffrey Seif here, and kudos
• 00:34 to you for being with us.
• 00:36 It's a great day today, by the way.
• 00:37 Good news finally in the literature.
• 00:40 Kirsten: It is finished.
• 00:42 Jeffrey: It's a rocky road; you know, not every
• 00:44 verse in the Bible is good.
• 00:45 Sometimes, preachers just preach the good
• 00:47 stuff, but there's bad stuff too.
• 00:48 But you got to go through it all,
• 00:49 but there's our good ending, and I'm glad we're there.
• 00:51 Kirsten: Also, some pastors try to pinpoint the timeline.
• 00:55 You haven't done that, you've unveiled the visions.
• 00:58 But we're not--no timeline, and I appreciate
• 01:00 that, you kind of can't.
• 01:01 Jeffrey: A little different approach to Revelation.
• 01:03 Kirsten: Right, it's good, good news.
• 01:05 David: Take your Bible right now and let's turn to chapter 20
• 01:08 as Dr. Seif teaches on Revelation.
• 01:16 Jeffrey: When I look at Revelation chapter 20,
• 01:18 I alight upon something that others might not because therein
• 01:22 I see a malefactor, someone who's guilty of something being
• 01:26 taken into custody and then imprisoned.
• 01:30 But I look at it like a cop, not just as a theologian.
• 01:34 I say that because in Revelation chapter 20,
• 01:36 finally the devil is seized, this dragon,
• 01:40 this beast, this serpent, Satan and the devil is identified.
• 01:44 And then he's taken in verse 3 and thrown into the abyss.
• 01:49 I mentioned that, and rightly so, today we live in a world,
• 01:51 we're looking for a kinder and gentler police force.
• 01:54 I don't just seize people and throw them because I've never
• 02:00 arrested anybody who was guilty.
• 02:02 The reason why I say that is because they're innocent until
• 02:04 proven guilty, I just have probable
• 02:06 cause to make an arrest.
• 02:08 I tend to be restrained.
• 02:10 And I've always imposed that on others that I
• 02:12 trained as a police officer.
• 02:15 That's not the case here.
• 02:17 And why is that?
• 02:19 There's a lot of tension in the room because God is finally
• 02:21 getting his planet back.
• 02:24 And here we are at the end of Revelation, harking
• 02:28 back to a story that begins at the beginning
• 02:30 of biblical revelation.
• 02:32 There's, hey lady, this hissing creature,
• 02:35 this serpent who seems to get away with it.
• 02:38 The race is defiled according to the literature.
• 02:41 And from Genesis to Revelation, we just see a world gone bad.
• 02:46 God so loved the world that he sent his Son into the world.
• 02:49 And there are individuals, in some sense, called out of the
• 02:52 world to be a counterculture in this world,
• 02:55 to be an advanced colony of new world to come.
• 02:58 But there's a sense in which even with Jesus's coming,
• 03:01 and people getting saved and participating in this new
• 03:03 community, still we have a rotten world to contend with.
• 03:08 And so it has been.
• 03:10 But that rottenness comes to a point in time.
• 03:13 Here is the point and now is the time to give voice to it.
• 03:17 In chapter 20 again, this heinous personality,
• 03:21 Satan the devil identified as such,
• 03:24 is taken and thrown into a pit for 1,000 years.
• 03:27 It's noted explicitly 1,000 years.
• 03:30 And this is where you get the--you know,
• 03:32 the language in Christian theology,
• 03:33 millennial.
• 03:35 Millennial just means 1,000 years.
• 03:37 Premillennial, post-millennial, amillennial.
• 03:40 The question is, what do we do with 1,000 years?
• 03:43 Are we tethered to 1,000 years the way we compute years?
• 03:48 Or do we want to just subscribe to some,
• 03:51 you know, indefinite period of time?
• 03:54 It's hard to say indefinite because it is given
• 03:56 a kind of definite periodization.
• 03:59 I don't want to wade into those waters
• 04:01 just to mention that it's there.
• 04:04 If you look in verse 7, however, we're told that after this
• 04:07 period, Satan is released, subsequent to which then
• 04:13 he is finally destroyed.
• 04:15 And with that, this language of the Ezekiel, it surfaces.
• 04:19 God, Magog, climactic kind of battle that's noted here
• 04:23 in the literature in Ezekiel.
• 04:25 After that battle in verse 10, the devil is then--who has
• 04:29 deceived the world is finally thrown into a pit.
• 04:32 And with that, we have the ultimate triumph
• 04:35 of God in human history.
• 04:39 It's good news, but I've got better news still.
• 04:44 You say, "Jeffrey, what could be better than that?"
• 04:46 Well, better than that is the fact that we
• 04:49 don't have to wait for that.
• 04:51 That is to say history moves at its own trajectory.
• 04:55 And there is some point in time when the devil has his day,
• 05:00 and finally he's bested by the Lord when he returns.
• 05:04 We considered that previously in Revelation.
• 05:07 There is a point in time when God gets his
• 05:11 planet back in total.
• 05:14 But we can give him back some earth right now.
• 05:19 And I mention that because that's what the whole notion of
• 05:22 surrendering to the Lord is and being born anew.
• 05:25 The term "born anew" carries with it
• 05:27 a connotation of rejuvenation.
• 05:30 That is let's do this again, let's do it better,
• 05:33 let's do it with Holy Spirit, let's do it God's way.
• 05:36 And that happens later on in time according to the Revelation
• 05:39 text, but you don't have to wait to that time.
• 05:42 For you, the clock can start ticking right now with a new
• 05:46 birth, with a regeneration, with being born again.
• 05:50 And you yourself can experience a life without the
• 05:55 dragon, without the serpent.
• 05:57 You know, without Satan, without the devil, without all of that.
• 06:00 To be sure, he can prowl around like a roaring lion,
• 06:03 seeking someone to devour.
• 06:05 But to be sure, you're part of a new
• 06:07 sheepfold, a new community.
• 06:09 You know, God is in the business of making things new not just at
• 06:13 the ragged edge of time, but he does it at a time when
• 06:16 individuals decide to make the time, to be honest about their
• 06:20 sin, to not blame everyone and everything on their
• 06:23 circumstance, to take a look how people are
• 06:26 responsible for their own life.
• 06:28 To then realize there's an offer on the table in the Bible where
• 06:32 individuals can experience forgiveness
• 06:34 of sins, newness of life.
• 06:36 People can be born anew and their lives can be transformed.
• 06:40 Transformation speaks of a radical redoing internally.
• 06:45 And all that's available.
• 06:46 To be sure, there is going to be a radical remanufacture of
• 06:52 circumstance on earth in days to come.
• 06:56 But I've spoken to you here now about an offer that's
• 06:59 on the table right now.
• 07:02 ♪♪♪
• 07:12 Jeffrey: You ever have it happen to you where the phone
• 07:16 freezes up, can't quite fix it, so what you do?
• 07:19 You have to shut it down, reboot it,
• 07:22 let it start all over again.
• 07:24 Well, I know it's happened to you.
• 07:25 It happens me on the phone, it happens on a computer.
• 07:28 Here it happens on planet Earth.
• 07:31 When we look at Revelation 21, we're, in effect,
• 07:35 looking at a reboot.
• 07:38 That is it was shut down, broke down,
• 07:40 now we're redoing it.
• 07:43 It's a fascinating story, by the way.
• 07:44 He says here he sees a new heaven and a new earth.
• 07:48 And in verse 2, there's a new Jerusalem coming down.
• 07:52 It's a little different, you know,
• 07:54 the older Jerusalem, the symbol of it was a menorah.
• 07:57 In fact, when the temple was destroyed, the Romans had
• 08:01 known that the menorah itself was a symbol, the
• 08:05 candelabra was a symbol of Jewish religion and temple
• 08:09 worship, and they took it away to Rome
• 08:11 and actually built an arch.
• 08:13 They're seizing the asset was their way
• 08:16 of depicting the triumph.
• 08:18 There's a new Jerusalem, but unlike the old one,
• 08:20 and we'll get to this later, there's no temple in it.
• 08:23 But what do we have here?
• 08:25 He says, "Behold, the dwelling of God is among men,
• 08:29 and he shall tabernacle among them.
• 08:33 They shall be his people, and God himself shall be among
• 08:35 them and be their God."
• 08:39 The language, to my way of thinking, harks back rather
• 08:42 clearly to Genesis, when humankind walked with God and
• 08:48 there was felicity, there was peace,
• 08:50 there was relationship, there was communication.
• 08:53 Sin makes its entrance to the stage of the human drama,
• 08:56 it gets ripped apart.
• 08:58 But here things are made new.
• 09:00 We saw previously how the serpent is taken,
• 09:04 seized, thrown away, and there we're going back to Genesis
• 09:07 edenic language, we're going back to Eden.
• 09:10 The readers are beckoned to revisit it.
• 09:12 And here similarly now, God dwelling among them and being in
• 09:15 relationship with humankind, that comes to the fore.
• 09:20 Speaking of four, not forefront, but the number four,
• 09:23 in verse 4 he says here that, "He will wipe away every tear
• 09:28 from their eyes, and death shall be no more."
• 09:35 Unfortunately, life comes replete with many dangers,
• 09:40 toils, and snares.
• 09:42 And it ends at a grave.
• 09:45 And as people make their journey from the womb to the tomb,
• 09:48 we all have ample time and occasion to shed a tear.
• 09:52 We're not going to have any more of that.
• 09:53 We're told that mourning and crying and pain,
• 09:57 all of that is going to pass away.
• 10:01 There's a new day, there's something of a restoration.
• 10:05 And as I am game to mention as we approach the end of this
• 10:09 series, I like to underscore that we don't have to wait.
• 10:14 That moment, we don't have to wait to that day till we can
• 10:18 experience something of this way, that is to say that
• 10:21 God can wipe away tears from eyes right now, that God
• 10:28 can become a friend to us if we become a friend to him.
• 10:35 Unfortunately, there's enmity between us and God.
• 10:38 Our sins make a separation, but that can be removed,
• 10:43 that can be fixed.
• 10:45 God is indeed in the restoration business.
• 10:47 I love it here, that's envisioned as a point in time
• 10:51 when all of humankind is brought back.
• 10:54 Just like humankind was lost in the garden,
• 10:57 now all of humankind is brought back.
• 10:59 But again, as I say, we don't have to wait till then.
• 11:02 You have in verse 6, "Behold, I am the Alpha and the Omega,
• 11:06 the beginning and the end," again harking
• 11:08 back to the beginning.
• 11:10 We're told as well as we move on,
• 11:12 we see this new Jerusalem coming down.
• 11:15 And in verse 10, he's carried away,
• 11:17 the author is, in the Ruach, in the Spirit, to a great mountain.
• 11:21 And he sees the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of
• 11:26 heaven from God, having the glory of God.
• 11:31 That the language here is rather fascinating.
• 11:35 Again, we're in the context of a restoration,
• 11:38 with worship being restored, people being restored to a
• 11:43 relationship with God finally and fully.
• 11:47 And there's a description here of the new Jerusalem.
• 11:51 There's a look at a regenerated, you know, landscape.
• 11:58 It's really worth having a look.
• 12:00 In fact, the author closes saying in verse 22 that in this
• 12:04 new world that dawns, there's no temple in her,
• 12:08 interestingly, for the Lord is the temple.
• 12:15 And I'm going to explore that in the very next segment.
• 12:18 We're told here that with the Lord's presence,
• 12:22 he is, in effect, going to light it up and be the lamp.
• 12:26 The Lord is, the Lamb of God is, the Messiah is.
• 12:29 "And nations shall walk by its light,
• 12:32 and the kings will bring their glory into it."
• 12:37 I want to look at light a little more as we bring
• 12:39 this series to a close.
• 12:41 Stay tuned, I'll do that in my next and last teaching segment.

• 14:52 Support us, support Israel also through this ministry.
• 14:55 David: Right now, let's go to the last chapter of
• 14:57 Revelation with Dr. Seif.
• 15:05 Jeffrey: There's an old show, movie, "Back to
• 15:07 the Future," popular title.
• 15:09 When we look at Revelation, we're going back in time to get
• 15:14 a look in the future.
• 15:15 And when we're at the end of Revelation,
• 15:17 we're at the end of time, going back in time back to the past.
• 15:20 We're kind of moving over eons of time,
• 15:22 it's rather interesting.
• 15:24 But we're out of time, this is the end of the
• 15:26 series with this program.
• 15:27 And in chapter 22, we're out of time because there's
• 15:30 this new world that's dawned.
• 15:32 We're told here after the death, after the carnage,
• 15:36 after the misery, the author sees in verse 1 this river of
• 15:41 water of life, bright as crystal.
• 15:44 And you're going to see the imagery noted in the literature
• 15:46 is very edenic like.
• 15:48 That is, at the end, we're going back to the beginning.
• 15:51 What do we see?
• 15:53 Well, in Genesis, there was the rivers that came from Eden.
• 15:59 We know that in early Genesis, and here he sees that.
• 16:03 In verse 2, he sees the tree of life.
• 16:07 Jewish people liken the candelabra,
• 16:10 the menorah, to a tree of life inasmuch as there is
• 16:13 a trunk and there's branches.
• 16:16 The menorah itself is likened to a tree that gives forth
• 16:21 light, radiance, if you will.
• 16:24 It's a symbol [speaking in Hebrew]
• 16:26 of the tree of life, and here, certainly, the tree of
• 16:29 life is notated in the garden of Eden, various trees.
• 16:33 The knowledge of good and evil, the tree of life.
• 16:36 And here we see the imagery again.
• 16:38 In verse 3, we're told that there's no longer a curse in
• 16:42 this new city; and again, we're harking back to early Genesis.
• 16:46 "The throne of God and the Lamb shall be in the city."
• 16:49 And we're told that his servants shall serve him.
• 16:55 By the way, we don't have to wait till then to serve,
• 16:57 you know, that we do it willingly now.
• 17:01 We act as servants.
• 17:03 We serve the Lord by giving him apportionment of our time,
• 17:06 our energy, our money, our adoration.
• 17:09 We start that now because we start being restored now.
• 17:14 People say one of the benefits of accepting the Lord is that we
• 17:17 can have life after we die.
• 17:18 That's true, but it starts before we die.
• 17:21 That is to say, "I am the way, the
• 17:23 truth, and the life," he said.
• 17:24 In other words, life starts now with the way.
• 17:28 And the curse is removed here.
• 17:30 The throne of God is there, the Lamb is there, we serve him.
• 17:33 "They shall see his face, and his name
• 17:37 will be on their foreheads."
• 17:39 They'll see his face.
• 17:41 It's an interesting expression, it speaks of intimacy.
• 17:44 We're not looking at a veiled presence.
• 17:46 And there you have it.
• 17:48 You know, the word "revelation"
• 17:51 from apocalypsis harks to
• 17:53 unveiling, being able to see it for what it really is.
• 17:58 And the author of Revelation looks at a sin-soaked world,
• 18:03 and he wants to see it for what it really is.
• 18:07 He sees the believers being oppressed in that world,
• 18:10 and he gives voice to their eventual triumph finally and
• 18:15 fully, and we're looking at it now.
• 18:17 We're told in verse 5 no longer is there darkness.
• 18:21 People will have no need for lamps,
• 18:23 for menorahs, for sunlight, "For the Lord God will shine on them.
• 18:30 And they shall reign forever and ever with him."
• 18:34 It's a beautiful ending.
• 18:37 It's a glorious ending to a glorious story in so many
• 18:40 ways, but such is life.
• 18:43 With all that attended to, before we get out of Revelation,
• 18:46 we hear the Lord again, "I'm coming soon, and my reward
• 18:51 is with me to pay back each one according to his deeds."
• 18:56 In the meantime, you know, we live between Calvary on the one
• 19:03 hand, we live between his first coming on the one hand,
• 19:06 and his second coming on the other.
• 19:09 And in between that time, we want to serve the Lord and be
• 19:12 about the Father's business.
• 19:15 He says, "How fortunate are those," in verse 14,
• 19:17 "who've washed their robes, so they have the right
• 19:21 to eat of the tree of life."
• 19:25 There it is.
• 19:26 People think, well, you know, Jesus died for
• 19:28 everybody, guess it's okay then.
• 19:30 Well, individuals need to secure the right to eat from the tree
• 19:36 of life, and thus to finish the verse,
• 19:39 "to enter through the gates into paradise," into the city.
• 19:45 And people secure the rights not by virtue of their own efforts.
• 19:49 You know, it's--you know, it's a ticket to a concert
• 19:51 that you can afford to pay.
• 19:53 But it's made available to you for the asking,
• 19:56 for sincere asking.
• 19:58 And who knows, you know, television goes
• 20:00 all over the world.
• 20:02 And who knows where you find yourself right now,
• 20:05 in space, in time and circumstance.
• 20:08 It's an opportunity here to remind you that wherever you
• 20:11 are, you're not too far from God's grace.
• 20:14 You know, the darkness can engulf you and you can say to
• 20:16 yourself, "Jeffrey, sounds like a good story,
• 20:18 just doesn't have anything to do with me."
• 20:20 Well, the moment you lift up your eyes,
• 20:23 the moment you lift up to God, that you ask him in your heart,
• 20:26 you ask him to forgive you for your sins,
• 20:28 the clock reset for you, and there's a new life waiting for
• 20:32 you on the other side of the sinner's prayer.
• 20:35 I hope you'll discover that if you haven't.
• 20:37 Thank you for discovering "Our Jewish Roots" and for going with
• 20:40 me on the journey through the book of Revelation.
• 20:42 We hopped, skipped, and jumped, went from the
• 20:45 beginning of it to the end.
• 20:47 There's a lot I didn't cover, but hopefully these musings
• 20:50 contribute to an overall understanding of God,
• 20:53 how he's at work in the world.
• 20:55 That was my purpose in looking at Revelation,
• 20:58 and looking to pull back the veil on the
• 21:00 mysteries noted therein.

• 22:26 We are at the end of our series on Revelation,
• 22:28 it's been up and down.
• 22:30 Jeffrey: It's been up and down, but we're on an upper now.
• 22:32 I want to land on a verse, and we'll just see
• 22:34 where it goes, okay?
• 22:35 In chapter 22, verse 16, where we--Yeshua is on record at the
• 22:41 end saying, "I am the root and the offspring of David,
• 22:46 the bright morning star."
• 22:47 It's fascinating, the newer testament closes connecting
• 22:52 Jesus to the Jewish story and a primary personality
• 22:57 in the older testament.
• 22:59 I like that reminder.
• 23:00 I think it's been so forgotten through time and circumstance.
• 23:04 People have lost sight of the Jewish origins
• 23:07 of the Jesus story, correct?
• 23:09 Kirsten: I agree, and that's why we're here.
• 23:11 That's why we keep doing what we're doing,
• 23:13 because that's how it ends.
• 23:16 It connects the dots and it closes the whole chapter.
• 23:20 And it closes it with, "I was a Jewish Messiah and Savior.
• 23:25 And I came for the whole world, but this is who I was and is."
• 23:29 Jeffrey: That's why I'm here, that's why we're here,
• 23:32 and that's why you're there.
• 23:33 You wouldn't tune into this if you didn't care.
• 23:37 And we really appreciate the fact there's a lot of people
• 23:41 that have come to know the Lord and have developed an
• 23:43 appreciation for the Jewish roots of the Yeshua,
• 23:47 of the Jesus story.
• 23:48 Dave, what about those that have not come to know the Lord?
• 23:51 You know, we're at the end of the book, and we
• 23:53 don't want people to pivot away and say, "Great series."
• 23:56 We want them to pivot away and
• 23:57 say, "Great Savior," correct?
• 23:58 David: Right, our goal in this series is not to scare
• 24:00 people, but to let them know that there is a goal,
• 24:05 there's a prize that we all are looking at.
• 24:08 Jeffrey: How can they get to the finish line?
• 24:10 David: I want--when I pass through those gates,
• 24:14 I want him to say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
• 24:17 That's my reason for living.
• 24:20 And our reason for this program is that if there's someone here
• 24:25 watching today that maybe hasn't received Yeshua in their heart,
• 24:29 in their life, that today would be that day.
• 24:30 Most of you watching have already done that.
• 24:33 And if there's one person here today that hasn't--I love John
• 24:37 3:16, "For God so loved this world that he gave his only
• 24:41 begotten Son, Yeshua, that we might have life everlasting."
• 24:46 That's our goal today for you.
• 24:48 Jeffrey: You know, Dave, you read the book Revelation,
• 24:51 and Kirsten, it talks about the tribulation,
• 24:53 the great tribulation.
• 24:55 And someone might be sitting there with a bottle in a hotel
• 24:58 room, saying, "Yeah, I'm in the middle of
• 24:59 my great tribulation now."
• 25:02 It really is true that success in life and a turnaround story
• 25:06 is just a prayer away, yes?
• 25:08 David: Even what we're going through right now in a pandemic,
• 25:12 a lot of people may be feeling like there's no life
• 25:15 in them, like what's next?
• 25:19 Jeffrey: And I think, by the way, mindful of heritage.
• 25:24 Jewish people are minded of history,
• 25:27 I think, more so than others.
• 25:29 And as a people group, we've been through hell and high water
• 25:32 on a number of occasions.
• 25:34 And Jewish people say, "Am Yisrael chai,"
• 25:37 the people of Israel live.
• 25:40 You know, we're only making our trek.
• 25:42 We have a--you know, from the womb to the tomb.
• 25:44 As individuals, we make our journeys,
• 25:46 and we go, "Oh my goodness, pandemic,
• 25:49 unemployment, political consternation."
• 25:52 And we experience it for the first time, but God's been
• 25:56 around for a long time delivering everyone who calls on
• 25:59 the name of the Lord through the passage of time, yes?
• 26:02 David: Something we're experiencing with friends who
• 26:04 live in Israel that there's a revival
• 26:07 going on there right now.
• 26:08 Have you experienced that there?
• 26:09 Jeffrey: Well, I have heard good words.
• 26:12 Certainly amongst Jewish people, there's been
• 26:14 this renewed interest.
• 26:16 And we still have to see work done there,
• 26:20 but yes, it's all on the up.
• 26:22 David: On fire, yes.
• 26:23 Kirsten: One of the closing things in Revelation is that
• 26:27 there's no more need for a temple.
• 26:29 There are no more churches 'cause God is
• 26:31 there face to face with us.
• 26:34 And that's our prayer for you as you watch this program and this
• 26:37 whole series, that you will come to a place by asking him into
• 26:41 your life, into your heart, asking him to forgive your sins
• 26:45 so that you can walk face to face with the Savior.
• 26:50 And in the end, he doesn't want to be separate,
• 26:52 he wants to be right there with you.
• 26:54 That's what this whole series has been
• 26:55 about and this whole program.
• 26:56 David: In the good times and the bad times.
• 26:58 Jeffrey: Amen, great word to finish up,
• 27:01 finish up this program.
• 27:02 There's more to come.
