Jesus heart of Prophetic Execution
Jesus heart of Prophecy
Jesus on the Throne of David
Jesus Christ is the heart of Prophetic Execution. That is, in the law, there needs to be judgment upon any and all violators of that law. In this case, man, without HOPE before God, needed HOPE, God, therefore, sent his Only begotten Son to lawfully before God bring the judgment to pass and allow men and women, jew and gentile to be passed from condemnation into acceptances and sonship before God.
Execution: (law) a routine court order that attempts to enforce the judgment that has been granted to a plaintiff by authorizing a sheriff to carry it out
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
In Revelation we see in chapter 19 and verse 10 that John fell at the feet of the one who had been talking to him. The one speaking to John said “I am thy fellowservant”. This statement alone lets us know that this
Simply put “Prophecy must have at its core and heart, Jesus Christ”
Ryrie says this “the study of prophecy should witness to Jesus”, While Gaebelein paraphrases it this way “All prophecy concerns the Lord Jesus Christ.” Some however as Ladd looks at this meaning this way: “This may again be either a subjective or an objective genitive. It may mean that the witness to God?s redemptive purpose borne to men by Jesus is accomplished only through the spirit of prophecy.? On the other hand, it may mean that any true testimony to the person and redemptive work of Jesus must have its source in the spirit of prophecy. In any case, both ideas are true; in the present context, the objective genitive is the easier resolution” Gregg, Steve: Revelation, Four Views : A Parallel Commentary. Nashville, Tenn. : T. Nelson Publishers, 1997, S. Re 19:1-10
At the Heart of all things prophetic is the “prophetic execution” in “Jesus Christ”. Prophecy is at the heart, the core, the source of what we believe, testify, and witness to the world about.
The Same Spirit of God residing in you, also moves in you through the Spirit of Prophecy to speak, testify, and witness of Jesus Christ and the Father. The very essence of our God and Father is the fact, he “tells the end from the beginning”, from this we find that Jesus Christ the Son of God was “slain from the foundation of the world.”
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Matthew in Jesus Parable of the Tares speaks of secrets from the foundation:
1. Jesus spoke in parables
2. Revealing secrets that have been kept quiet from the foundation of the world
Matthew 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

Intro: Revelation of the Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 16:25 ¶Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Revelation of the Mystery of Jesus Christ:
1. Kept secret since world began
2. Made manifest through Jesus Christ and by scriptures of the Prophets
3. It is made known to all nations for the obedience of faith [note one faith here, not many, one Lord here not many, one savior for all men, not many]
Romans 16:25 ¶Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Paul speaks on this mystery: A mystery not only of redemption but of hidden wisdom, the mind of Christ!
1. The hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory
2. Which none of the princes of this world knew[they would not have crucified Lord of glory]
3. It is has not been seen nor heard, nor entered into heart of man the things God prepared for them that love him!
4. But God now has revealed them by his Spirit[it is only the spirit that searches deep things God]
1 Corinthians 2:7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1 Corinthians 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians 2:10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
5. Spirit of man knows the things of men, even so things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God
6. Through Christ we have received this Spirit which is of God so we might know the things freely given to us of God.
7. This is not in mans wisdom, but that which the Holy Ghost teaches
8. The Natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, foolishness to him, spiritually discerned or known, he cannot know them by or through the spirit of man or demon. He can only know them through the Spirit of God.
9. He that is Spiritual judgeth all things, in Christ, yet because of Christ, he is judged of no man. [1 John 1:7 ‘if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowhip with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin’ Also Romans 8:1 ‘there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit’.]
10. We have the mind of Christ, if we walk in the Spirit, for it is the Spirit that searches the deep things of God and reveals them to us.
1 Corinthians 2:11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1 Corinthians 2:13
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1 Corinthians 2:16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
This Mystery that was hidden and hidden from ages, aeons, and from generations of men, was made manifest to his saints, through Christ!
This Mystery would also be made know to the Gentiles
This Mystery is “Christ in you, the Hope of Glory”
This Mystery will bring understanding and the acknowledgement of “God, of the Father, and of Christ.
This Mystery will bring in Christ and the bride, his church, we are all members of one body.
This Mystery will be finished in the days of the voice of the seventh angel. This angel sounds in Rev 11:15 and declares “The Kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Revelation 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church
The Day this mystery shall be finished:
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

H.O.P.E. Moses and the Messiach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moses, a Prophet that the Lord Knew face to face Deut 34:10, spoke of Prophet that will raise up from the midst of thee [Israel].
Deuteronomy 18:15 ¶The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Peter Quotes this prophecy as being fulfilled in Jesus Christ:
Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
John records Jesus words saying of Moses “he wrote of me”!
John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me

H.O.P.E. Blindness of Israel

The blindness of and rejection of the Jews
He came to his own and they received him not!
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

H.O.P.E. Israel: Remnant Election of Grace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God has not cast away his people, there is a remnant according to the election of grace!
Romans 11:1 ¶I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
God has given them a spirit of slumber, eyes that should not see and ears that they should not hear unto this day!
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Gentiles: Grafted in Branches
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Unbelief, natural branches broken off, wild grafted in, yet do not boast
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Israel’s blindness will only be until the fulness of the Gentiles come in!
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Messiach given for a covenant of the people, a servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and restore the preserved of Israel and a Light to the Gentiles, salvation to the end of the earth!
Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Messiach is the Light and glory of the LORD is risen upon thee, the LORD shall arise upon thee!
Isaiah 60:1 ¶Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Messiach shall be a stone of stumbling and rock of offence to both houses of Israel

Therefore, God hath Commanded saying “What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”
Gentile who feared God with all his house, gave alms, and prayed to God!
Acts 10:1 ¶There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 ¶On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common..
This was not about what was clean and unclean to eat, but about something else:
Peter himself tells us!
At First Peter did not know what this vision meant, then men sent by Cornelius showed up!
Acts 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19 ¶While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Peter after hearing from the men of Cornelius’ vision went to Cornelius house. The reason for vision is made clear, verse 28; It was unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation; but
God has showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean!
Acts 10: 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
Peter Then proceeds to tell them of the Christ, the Yeshua Ha Massiach! Cornelius repeats the vision he saw to Peter then Peter says further, God is no respector of persons!
Acts 10:34 ¶Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 ¶While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
As Many as received Him: to them gave he power to become Sons of God!
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth
1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:10 ¶He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
14 ¶And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
