Shabbat Shalom, everyone. Open your Bibles, please. We are going to turn to the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 15. Beloved brothers and sisters, Mark, Chapter 15 is really the climax. Especially the verses for today, verses 22 to 41. Those verses are really dealing with the work of redemption, the work of salvation, that our Blessed Lord Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, had to accomplish for each and every one of us, if we are ever to be forgiven and be saved and redeemed. And so we read Mark 15, verse 22: "And they bring Him unto the place Golgotha, which is being interpreted the place of a skull, and they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but He received it not.

And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots upon Him, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him. And the superscription of His accusation was written over the King of the Jews. And with Him they crucified two thieves, the one on His right hand and the other on His left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, and He was numbered with the transgressors. And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyselves and come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others.

Himself He cannot save. Let Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him, reviled Him. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, "Elohi! Elohi! Elohi! Lama shvaktani!" Which is being interpreted, "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" And some of them that stood by, when they heard it said, "Behold, he calleth Elias." And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, "Let alone, let us see whether Elias will come to take him down." And Yeshua cried with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the spirit, he said, "Truly, this man was the Son of God." There were also women, looking on far off, among whom was Miriam Magdalene, and Miriam the mother of James, Deless, and Joseph, and Salome, who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him, and many other women, which came up with him into Jerusalem. And I'm stopping here in verse 41, because today, I would like to share with you that one single message, which deal with the crucifixion, and the death of our Messiah, Yeshua, some 2,000 years ago, on a Roman cross.

And I would like brothers and sisters to remind you that really, this passage that I just read, Mark 15, verse 22 to 41, is one of the most important passages that is found in the Word of God, because the event that occurred about 2,000 years ago from our point of time, this event of the crucifixion, and the death of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, is really the climax of all the promises that were promised many years ago by the prophets of Israel. Beginning with Genesis chapter 3 and verse 15, where we have the promise of the seed of the woman that will come to crush the serpent's head, Satan's head, but his heel will be bruised.

Here in this passage of Mark chapter 15, we see the bruising, the death of the Messiah, in order to provide redemption, and by doing so, he defeated Satan, and he made it possible for sinners, like Adam, Eve, Abel, and many others, including you and I today, to receive forgiveness of sins, and eternal salvation. This passage is a very moving passage, because in this particular passage, we see two important things. On the one hand, we see the wickedness of men. We see how sinful sin is, that even at the time when the Mashiach, the Messiah, is crucified on a Roman cross, everyone in this world was against him.

That's the one thing that we see. On the other hand, what we see, is that a holy and a righteous God, could not be appeased, unless sin was judged. And he judged sin, in the person of his son, the Messiah of Israel, and the Savior of the world, who was sinless, undefiled, separate from sinners. It's amazing, beloved brothers and sisters, years ago, when we first heard the Gospel, we immediately were attracted, to the person of the Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, because he had done something for me, something for you, something for mankind. He was punished on our behalf. But very little, we enter in, to what it meant for him, who is holy, harmless, who is undefiled, who is God, who became a man, and took union humanity, with his divine nature, and was willing to go, all the way, to the shameful cross, where he was nailed, to the Roman cross, for the sin of this world.

That's why, when we read verses such as, John chapter 3, and verse 16, that we all memorize it in our hands. For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. But in giving His Son, the Messiah, had to be penalized, the just one, for us, the unjust one, in order to bring us to God. So Mark chapter 15, is a fascinating chapter, and all the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all those four Gospels, pointed, and spoke about this event, that happened, some 2,000 years ago, where God laid, the sin, of this world, upon this innocent, sinless man, Yeshua from Nazareth, our beloved Messiah.

And so in this passage, we see, the presentation, of the Lord, Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah, again, as a servant. servant. And that's why, Mark, does not give us, many of the details, that we see, in Matthew, or Luke, or even John, Yohanan. And the servant, business, and job, is to do, the work, for which, he came, to do. God said, behold, my servant, Isaiah chapter 42. And the purpose of God, is to present before us, through the Gospel of Mark, Yeshua, the Messiah, Jesus, the Messiah, as a servant, in obedience to God. He came down, from heaven, to go all the way, to finish the work, that his master, gave him to do.

We read, in Exodus, chapter 21, prophetically, about the Messiah, or typically, Now these are the judgment, which thou shall set, before them, if you have a Hebrew servant, six years, he shall serve, and in the seventh year, he shall go out, free for nothing. If he, came by himself, he shall go out, by himself. If he was married, then his wife, shall go out, with him. If his master, had given him a wife, and she, has born him, sons and daughters, the wife, and the children, shall be her masters, and he, shall go out, by himself. But notice, what it says, in Exodus 21, verse 5. But if the servant, shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children, I will not, go out, go out, free.

Then the master, shall bring him, unto the judges. He shall also, bring him, unto the door post, and his master, shall bore, his ear, through, with an awl, and he, shall serve, him, forever. devil. This Hebrew servant, typically, speaks about the Messiah, Yeshua, who is truly, the Hebrew servant, who said, I love my master, I love my wife, I love my children, I will not, go out, free.

He could, because he was the only man, who never sinned, and he could go back, to heaven, needed not, to go through the cross, and died, on a Roman cross, because he was the only man, that never sinned, the wages of sin, is death, but he chose, to love you and I, and I, and sure enough, the Hebrew servant, were taken by his master, and he went, to the door post, which represent, the cross, and there, his ear, was bore, with an owl, and he served, his master, forever, and here, our blessed Lord, Yeshua, have gone, all the way, to the door post, represented, by the shameful cross, where he was nailed, crucified, where they

pierced, his hands, and his feet, and he died, there, the just one, for the unjust, in order to bring, us, to God, so let me just present, before you, some of the thoughts, that we have here, in Mark, chapter 15, first of all, I want you to notice, that in verses 22, and verse 23, Yeshua, was brought, to Golgatha, in Hebrew, we call it, Golgolet, to the place, of a skull, notice verse 22, and they bring, him, unto the place, Golgatha, which is being, interpreted, the place, of a skull, and they gave, him, to drink, wine, mingle, with myrrh, but he, received, it not, now we just read, in a previous, verse, that he was

carrying, the cross, when a criminal, in those days, was guilty, they would, have him, bear, his very own, cross, but with Yeshua, he was not, guilty, and he still, bore, that tree, that cross, on his shoulder, but as he, was walking, remember, that he was, beaten, by the, Jewish leaders, in the house, of Caiaphas, and, he was, beaten, again, and, scourged, by the, Roman soldiers, who have, ripped, his back apart, and his body, apart, they placed, upon his, head, the crown, of thorns, and shoved it, down his head, and now, they were asking him, to carry, the cross, on the way, to Golgotha, and by that time, he was so broken, physically, that he was,

caving, under the, carrying, of that tree, that cross, and so they found, a man, one Simon, Cyrenian, who passed by, to bear his cross, and therefore, while they, led him, earlier, by now, they don't only, lead him, they bring him, they were helping him, even to continue on, because that word, bring him, pharaoh, in the Greek, is a word, that speaks about the fact, that it's not only, that he, been led now, but he's actually, been, bore, by others, to help him along, to continue on, to the place, that is called, Gul Golet, Golgotha, what is, Gul Golet, the place of a skull, apparently, in this area, there were so many, skulls, that were left,

from crucifixion, and there, the Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, was brought to, was carried to, and you notice, it says here, that it's called, a place, Golgotha, it's a location, those of you, that have been with me, to Israel, we always go, to this, very same location, where there is a hill, that is the shape, of a skull, and also, below the hill, is where, the crucifixion, would take place, as the people, would pass by, so it's not, a far, far away hill, it was right, by the road, when he was going, to be crucified, where people, will pass by, and they will, observe, and see, the results, of a violation, of the Romans, laws, and

there, he was going, to be crucified, on a Roman cross, and so, they brought him, you see, in verse 22, you read the word, they brought him, while earlier, there, we read, that they, led him, he started, being led, but now, he being brought, because he was, no longer, having strength, that he had earlier, because of, all, the beating, that he experienced, both by the, Jewish leaders, and by the, gentle, Roman soldiers, and you can, just imagine, the Lord, the Messiah, is all the way, walking towards, that place, called, in the Latin, it's called, Calvary, in English, they call it, Golgatha, in Hebrew, we call it, Gulgolet, the place, of a skull, and so, now,

you notice, that they gave him, to drink, wine, mingled with myrrh, in other words, they wanted, to kind of, ease, the pain, some wine, some wine, mingled, this was, supposed, to ease, the pain, that one, would have, because of, the soldiers, beating, but, you see, he would not, drink that, in Proverbs 31, verses, six, and seven, says, long, drink unto him, that is ready, to perish, and wine, unto those, that be, of heavy heart, let him, drink, and forget, his poverty, and remember, his misery, no more, and it is interesting, that, that wine, mixed with gold, would be given to him, to ease the pain, that he had, but he did not, accept that, he

was heading, towards, that cross, where he is going, to bear, the sin, of this world, he is heading, towards, Gul Goled, Gulgatha, so now, beloved brothers, and sisters, in this gospel, of Mark, we have, those three verses, that point, to the crucifixion, itself, we don't have, many details, that would have, been given to us, in Matthew, and Luke, and John, Mark, simply, lead us, immediately, and fast, into the time, of the death, of the Messiah, and that's, why, in verses 24, 25, and 26, we actually, see the crucifixion, itself, notice, it says, in verse 24, when they, crucified him, they, parted his garments, casting lots, upon them, what, every man, should, take, now, can you

imagine, when, they are, crucifying, the Messiah, they, they would, take his, outer garments, off, and they, are, casting lots, in other words, the Roman soldiers, in mockery, of the person, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, casting lots, upon, who is, going to have, this part, of the garment, or that part, of the garment, and that's, remind us, beloved brothers, and sisters, the fulfillment, of what, David wrote, prophetically, about, the Messiah, who would come, and the, death, that he will die, and the experiences, that he, will experience, if you, may please, open, Psalm 22, verses 16, 17, and 18, David, the king, of Israel, is a picture, of the Mashiach, and many times, when David, wrote,

his Psalms, he was, writing, the experiences, that, the Mashiach, of Israel, will experience, when he, will come, to this world, and specifically, Psalm 22, is one of the most, amazing Psalms, Psalm 22, is really presenting, before us, the sin offerings, of the Messiah, himself, who will die, for the sin, of this world, and so, in verse 16, David said, for dogs, have compassed me, the assembly, the assembly, of the wicked, have enclosed me, but here, notice what David, is saying, and they, pierced, my hands, and my feet, it is so interesting, that David, already, in his days, you see, because, when, our people, would, execute, someone, who would have, to be put to death, Israel,

the Jewish people, will stone, but, here, we see, of someone, who is not going, to be stoned, but, rather, he will be, pierced, through, and that's, why David, said here, they pierce, my hands, and my feet, in Hebrew, it says, ka'ari, yadai, veraglai, now, the word, ka'ari, often time, is being read, as a lion, but, someone, corrupted, this word, it should be, karu, yadai, veraglai, they pierced, my hands, and, my feet, this is the way, the Romans, executed, those, who were guilty, all the thieves, and the robbers, and those, that opposed the Romans, they will be, crucified, they will be, pierced, through, with nails, and hung, upon the cross, but notice, he continued, in verse

17, I may tell, all my bones, they look, and stare, upon me, and then verse 18, and they parted, my garments, among them, and cast lots, upon my vesture, David, who knew exactly, by, divine design, prophetically, what would happen, to the Messiah, who would come, and when I say, knew exactly, because God, had revealed this to him, to put it, for us, in the Hebrew, in the Tanakh, he could write, what would happen, to the Messiah, when he's come, and so, as we read, in Mark, when they crucified him, they parted his garment, casting lots upon them, what every man, should take, and then notice, verse 25, Yeshua's, crucifixion, was on the third, hour, of

the Jewish, counting, notice it says here, and it was the third hour, and they crucified him, now, pause with me, for a moment, there is a difference, between the, daily calculation, of the, people of Israel, in contrast, to the way, that the Romans, calculated, the day, the Romans, calculate day, from, midnight, to midnight, 24 hours, per day, beginning, from midnight, but in the, Hebrew scripture, it's not from, midnight, to midnight, but it is from, evening, to evening, Leviticus, chapter 23, verse 32, says, from even, to even, ye shall celebrate, your Shabbats, plural, in other words, every day, begin, at even, at sundown, whether it is, 6 o'clock, 5:30, 6:30, whenever the sun, is coming down,

a new day, begin, that's why, beloved brothers, and sisters, when the Shabbat, comes in, day, comes in, in Biblical, Hebrew, accounting, it's always, began, from the sun, down, then it goes, from sundown, until the next, 24 hours, the new day, began, so Shabbat, would begin, on Friday, evening, and will end, on Saturday, from evening, to evening, ye shall celebrate, your Shabbat, that's why, with the Hebrew, daily, calendar is divided, days and night, it starts from, evening, let's say, around 6:00 PM, and it will end, in the morning, about 6:00 AM, and then from 6:00 AM, it will continue, until 6:00 PM, that's how, the 24 hours, are divided, if you read, verses, of the book

of Genesis, in creation, it was even, and it was morning, the first day, it was even, and it was morning, the second day, evening, and morning, 12 hours, morning, to evening, another 12 hours, that's how, the Hebrew calendar, is presented, before us, the daily, hours, so you notice, here, in verse 25, it was the third hour, so, if the first hour, it began, at the morning, the first hour, of the day, is about, you might say, 6:00 AM, so, 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00, three more hours, we are speaking, about a nine o'clock, in the morning, where they, crucify, Yeshua, the Messiah, and it's, incredibly interesting, because, I want you, for a moment, to turn, to

the Gospel of John, and the reason, I'm reading this, is because, you will notice, that John, wrote this, a little bit differently, a different time, all together, John, gave us, the Roman hour, while, Mark, gave us, the Jewish, hours, of the day, notice, in John, chapter 19, verse 14, and it was, the preparation, of the Passover, and about, the sixth hour, and he says, unto the Jews, behold, your king, king, you see, John used, the Roman counting, he used, the word, the sixth hour, Jesus was not, yet, on the cross, it was long, before, he was on the cross, Pilate, was just presenting him, behold, your king, but when we get, to Mark, chapter 15,

the third hour, he was, already, on the cross, by the time, we get to the sixth hour, it was already, three hours, that he would be, so, Mark presents, before us, the Jewish, counting, while John presents, before us, the Roman counting, but if we just, stay put here, with this, Gospel of Mark, when it was, the third hour, of the day, they crucified him, nine, about nine o'clock, in the morning, the third hours, of the Jewish counting, Yeshua, the Messiah, is being crucified, by the Romans, Romans, and you can, just imagine, when they, crucified him, beloved brothers, and sisters, after they, beat him, after they, ripped his back, with these, metal balls, after they, put

upon his head, the crown, of thorns, he is, weak, he is tired, then they, place him, there on the ground, and they, nail his hands, and his feet, to the cross, there, and they, crucified him, they pierce, my hands, and my feet, as David, predicted, about the Messiah, and it is about, nine o'clock, in the morning, to display, Yeshua, the Messiah, in mockery, for everyone, that would pass, by, what a, sad, situation, we see here, and yet we know, that he had to be crucified, beloved, brothers and sisters, he had to die, for the sin, of this world, he had to be penalized, on our behalf, God, had to allow him, to experience, this crucifixion,

and notice, what we read here, in the very, same verses, he was crucified, on the third day, and notice, what the superscription, in verse 26, was on the cross, the accusation, this is, the king, of the Jews, I'm reading, verse 26, and the sign, of his accusation, was written, over, the king, of the Jews, Melech, a Yehudim, you know, if someone, is guilty, in doing, something wrong, you might have, the accusation, he stole, he robbed, he killed, he murdered, he had done, something, he opposed, the Roman government, he was against, Caesar, Caesar, and so on, but what's, the accusation, that Yeshua, had above, the cross, the king, of the Jews, he's Melech, of course, he's

the king, of the Jews, there is no doubt, about it, but what an accusation, that was not, placed there, in order, to give him, the title, that really, belonged to him, that was placed there, in mockery, okay, you Jewish people, here's your king, look at him, look what you can produce, the king, of the Jews, the Romans, are really saying, Pilate, is really saying, to the people of Israel, the king, of the Jews, and beloved brothers, and sisters, Jeremiah said, in chapter 23, prophetically, about the king, of the Jews, Jeremiah 23, verse 5, behold, the days coming, says the Lord, that I will raise, unto David, a righteous branch, and a king, shall reign, and

prosper, and shall execute, judgment, and justice, in the earth, this is the king, that once, will reign, in a future day, over the nation, of Israel, he will be the one, that will be, of David, and he will be, a branch, a shoot, that will come out, of the stem, of Jesse, that's the king, of Israel, but, before he is going, to reign, and rule, in righteousness, which will happen, at his second coming, his first coming, he came, in humility, in order to die, and so, Zechariah, in chapter 9, and verse 9, says rejoice, greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, of daughter, of Jerusalem, behold, your king, cometh unto thee, he is just, and having

salvation, but notice, he is lowly, and he is, riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the fall, of an ass, in other words, he is, lowly, in humility, he came, in order to be, come, the one, that will be judged, for the sin, of Israel, and for the sins, of this world, saw, the accusation, Melech, HaYehudim, the king, of the Jews, and no wonder, beloved brothers, and sisters, if you just, observe it, if you just, read it, and you just, imagine, what Yeshua, had to go through, with a mockery, by the human race, and let me, remind you, brothers and sisters, he is, the creator, God, who became, a man, all, move, and live,

through him, he could, have called, 10,000 angels, he could, have destroyed, all those, that oppose him, but he, did not, want to do it, because he knew, that he came, to die, when Peter, tried to help him, in the garden, of Gethsemane, Gatshmanim, Yeshua said to Peter, in Matthew 26, and verse 53, thinkest thou, that I cannot, now pray, unto my father, and he shall, presently, give me, more than, twelve legions, of angels, but how, the scripture, shall be fulfilled, he could, have called, 10,000 angels, but he died, alone, for the sin, of this world, you know, these twelve, legions, have about, 600, if you think, about God, the father, can give me, more, than

twelve, legions, more, than 72,000 angels, more, than 10,000 angels, who could, just stop, anything, and everything, that man does, to me, but the purpose, of my coming, is to give, my life, a ransom, for many, you and I, who are sinners, by nature, can receive, forgiveness, of sin, this is the gospel, of the grace, of God, that God, in love, for us, was willing, to become a man, and take, upon himself, this shameful death, at the cross, now, beloved brothers, and sisters, I want you to notice, that in verse 27, to verse 32, you would think, that people, will enter in, to the situation, and kind of, sympathize, with him, but you see, what we

learn, from these verses, that everyone, was against him, whether it is, the Roman soldiers, who crucified him, or whether it is, the thieves, on the cross, who reviled him, or whether it is, the passers by, who railed, at him, or whether it is, the religious leaders, who mocked him, everyone, was against him, and if he would come, today, man, by nature, will do, the very same thing, and so notice, that beloved brothers, and sisters, first of all, verse 27, 28, and 32b, look, what the thieves, on the cross, that were ready, to die, were saying, look what we read here, and with him, they crucified, two thieves, the one on the right, and the other,

on his left, and the scripture, was fulfilled, which says, and he was numbered, with the transgressors, and then just go down, to the second half, of verse 32, it says, and they, that were crucified, with him, reviled him, the Hebrew word, is, you can say, they reproached him, how is it possible, in a few seconds, in a few minutes, you on the right, hand of Yeshua, and you on the left, of Yeshua, are going to be killed, you are crucified, with him, you are the last moment, of your life, but even then, they began with, both of them, they reviled him, they are guilty, and he is innocent, they are sinful, and he is the

holy one, of God, they are the last moment, of their life, crucified, they took energy, in order, to revile him, and to reproach, the Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, you know, thankfully, when you turn, to the gospel, of Luke 23, one of them, became very wise, at the last, moment, of his life, Luke 23, verse 32, we read this, and there were also, two other malefactors, led with him, to be put to death, and then verse 39, and one of the malefactors, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, if you, be the Messiah, save thyself, and us, but the other, listen to this, answering, rebuking him, saying, dost not thou, fear God, seeing thou art, in

the same, condemnation, and we, indeed, justly, for we receive, the due reward, of our deeds, but this man, have done nothing, amiss, and he said, unto Yeshua, to Jesus, Lord, remember me, when thou cometh, into thy kingdom, and Yeshua, said unto him, verily I say, unto thee, today, thou shalt be, with me, in paradise, beloved brothers, and sisters, look at the divine work, that happened, in the last moment, of one's life, both of them, railing at him, both of them, as we read, in our chapter, reproaching Yeshua, the Messiah, but, somehow, in the last moment, of this one's life, one of them, that heard, the other, saying, save yourself, and us, he said to him,

doth not, thou fear God, in other words, somehow, the spirit of God, have touched, his soul, to recognize, we are guilty, we are on the cross, because we are, at fault, we have committed, something wrong, against the Romans, but this man, he have done, nothing amiss, and then he turned, to Yeshua, and how wonderful, to see, when someone, turned to Yeshua, he says, Lord, he used the word, Adoni, Lord, remember me, when you come, into your kingdom, and Yeshua, gave him an answer, and he said to him, today, not tomorrow, but today, he knew that, they were going to die, today, you are going, to be with me, in paradise, when the thief, died, by

the way, you notice, he was not baptized, he did not go, through any other, rituals, he was saved, at the moment, that he called, Yeshua, Adoni, Lord, today, when he passed, out of this scene, he entered, immediately, into paradise, into the presence, of Yeshua, the Messiah, amazing, but beloved brothers, and sisters, the thieves, railed at him, but not only the thieves, notice, back to Mark 15, in verses 29, and verse 30, not only the thieves, but the people, who passed by, just the ordinary people, who passed by, it says here, in verse 29, and they, that passed by, railed on him, wagging their heads, saying, aha, thou that destroyest, the temple, and buildest us, in

three days, save thyself, and come down, from the cross, the passers-by, you know, it might be, any one of us, who would pass by, who are looking, at this innocent man, placed on a cross, and have the audacity, to rail at him, the Hebrew word, is legadif, they actually, blasphemed him, they insulted him, they said to him, you, who said, that you will destroy, the temple, and rebuild it, in three days, well let's see, if you can save yourself, come down, from the cross, now do you think, beloved brothers, and sisters, he couldn't come down, from the cross, he could have, come down, from the cross, had he wanted, you remember, what we read, in

John chapter 10, therefore, doth my father, love me, because I lay down, my life, of myself, no man, taketh it from me, I lay it down, of myself, that I might, take it again, this commandment, I received, my father, no one, took his life, he laid it down, willingly, that's why, he said, John 10, therefore, doth my father, love me, he gave, joy, to the heart, of his father, when he was, submissive, all the way, to the cross, so all these, who wagging their head, and as they were, railing at him, blaspheming him, insulting him, saying to him, yeah, yeah, you come down, from the cross, let's see, if you can, come down, from the

cross, they were blinded, to the fact, that he could, come down, and for their, very own people, who mocked him, he went, to that shameful cross, so we see, the thieves, in verses 27, and 28, and 32, we see, the passers by, in verse 29, and verse 30, notice, in verses 31, and verse 32, the first part, there, we see, the chief priests, the Kohanim, they also, were mocking him, and deriding him, and you notice, what we read here, in verse 31, likewise, also, the chief priests, mocking the Hebrew word, lagu, in Hebrew, said among themselves, they were kind of, chatting among themselves, and they said, he saved others, but himself, he cannot save, they

look back, at the life, of Yeshua, in his life, how many people, he healed the sick, he allowed the lame, to walk, the blind, could see, the deaf, could heal, even the dead, he raised, like Eliezer, Lazarus, he saved others, but himself, he cannot save, now again, I would like to remind you, beloved brothers, and sisters, it's not that he cannot, save, but he will, not, save, he laid down his life, as a ransom, for many, notice verse 32, they continue in their, mockery of the Messiah, they said, let the Messiah, the King of Israel, descend, now, from the cross, that we, may see, and believe, now they have seen, plenty, in the life of

Yeshua, but they just, did not believe, they are, willfully, rejected him, they saw, the way he behaved, they saw, what he have done, in his life, and they rejected, the Yeshua, the Messiah, the Messiah, like people today, faith, comes by hearing, and hearing, by the word of God, we preach, the gospel, everywhere, people hear, the Bible teachers, and the gospel preachers, and those, who present, the word of God, everywhere in the world, they hear, the message, of the gospel, and they are, responsible, to come, to faith, in the only one, who can save them, because if not, they will end up, to suffer, eternal, separation, from God, and so, they have heard, they have seen,

what he have done, but they rejected him, willfully, like many, Jews, Gentiles, mankind, do that, today, willful rejection, of the offer, of Yeshua, the Messiah, we see, in those verses, that we read, so far, that the Romans, crucified him, the thieves, reviled him, the passers by, railed at him, the chief priests, mocked him, everyone, was against, the person, of Yeshua, the Messiah, and you and I, would have been, the very same, had the Lord, didn't work in our hearts, and open our hearts, if you remember, the days before, you became a believer, you wouldn't have, any use for this name, by the name, of Jesus, the Messiah, it is only, by the grace, of God,

that he opened our eyes, to accept him, otherwise, we are no different, than any other, human being here, in this world, by grace, are ye saved, through faith, which is a gift, of God, that is not, of yourself, lest any man, should boast, God, have opened our hearts, and enlightened us, to see, who Yeshua, the Messiah, now notice, beloved brothers, and sisters, in verse 33, to 38, we see, the last, words, of Yeshua, from the cross, look at this, verse 33, first of all, and when, the sixth hour, was come, there was darkness, over the whole land, until the ninth hour, and at the ninth hour, Yeshua, Jesus, cried, with a loud voice, saying, Elohi,

Elohi, lama, shvaktani, which is being interpreted, my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me, now let me mention something, throughout the four Gospels, there are seven statements, statements, that our Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, proclaimed, or shared, from the cross, let me give it to you, the first one, is in Luke 23, verse 34, where he said, Father, forgive them, the second one, is in Luke 23, verse 43, where Yeshua said, today, you will be, with me, in paradise, paradise, the third one, is in John chapter 19, verses 26, and 27, where he said, to his mother, woman, behold your son, and to John, he says, behold your mother, God, then we read, in Mark

chapter 15, where we are today, verse 34, the fourth statement, that he said, from the cross, Elohi, Elohi, my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me, then the fifth statement, is in John 19, verse 28, where Yeshua, the Messiah said, I am thirsty, I thirst, and then the sixth statement, it is in John chapter 19, and verse 30, where Yeshua said, it is finished, nigmar, tetelestai, in the Greek, and the final, that we read, of the person, of Yeshua, in Luke chapter 23, and verse 46, he says, Father, into thine hand, I commend my spirit, seven statements, that Yeshua, the Messiah, said from the cross, three of them, he said, in the first three

hours, and the other four of them, he said, in the second three hours, three hours, because, the Lord, Jesus, the Messiah, was six hours, on the cross, look at this, please bear with me, verse 25, and it was the third hour, and they crucified him, then a little bit further on, verse 33, 33, and when the sixth hour, was come, there was darkness, over the whole land, and then verse 34, and at the ninth hour, Jesus, cried, with a loud voice, saying, Elohi, Elohi, lama, shuvaktani, from the third hour, to the ninth hour, in a, Jewish, accounting, of the day, and of the night, Yeshua, the Messiah, was on the cross, he was crucified, at

about, and I'm using the word about, 9 a.m., he was placed, on the cross there, and six hours, he was on the cross, until about, and I'm using again, the word about, three p.m., in between the evenings, where he died, three, to nine, you have six hours, in between, on the sixth hour, there was darkness, over the whole land, and you notice, that I'm reading here, in verse 33, when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness, over the whole land, and I would like to say this, brothers and sisters, that I think, we should also, not forget, all the suffering, that Yeshua suffered, from the hands of man, throughout his 33 years, of his

life, including the first three hours, on the tree, never atoned, for the sin, of anyone, because he suffered, by human hands, by mankind, it is only, in the second three hours, where he made atonement, or a removal of sin, from the presence of God, and you know why?

because, in the second three hours, that the Lord Jesus, the Lord Yeshua, the Messiah, was on the cross, he didn't suffer, from the hands of men, but he suffered, by the hand, of a holy, and a righteous God, you see, God, had to judge, sin, he made that promise, he made that promise, already in Genesis 3:15, and also verse 21, when he provided, a garment of skin, for Adam and Eve, to close them, and he had to kill, an innocent animal, in order to cover, sinful Adam, Adam, and Eve, and all those sacrifices, that were given, of all, to our own nation, Israel, became pictures, and type, of that, which will once, come to fruition,

when the Messiah, will come, come, so what happened, beloved brothers, and sisters, Yeshua was, placed on a cross, at the third hour, nine o'clock, in the morning, he was suffering, and listening, to what people, would say about him, for those first, three hours, and there, remember what we read, that the Romans, crucified him, the thieves, reviled him, the passerby, railed at him, the chief priests, mocked him, he was listening, to all the words, that men, and the people, who were there, were saying about him, and by the way, if he will come today, they will do, the very same thing, to him, wherever he gonna be, here in this world, but then, what happened, God

had to judge him, and that's why, beloved brothers, and sisters, it says, when the sixth hour, was come, notice verse 33, now there was darkness, over all the land, that's the land of Israel, and for sure, the area, where he was there, there was complete darkness, and this sixth hour, would be 12 noon, when the sun, is in the middle of the day, when it's shining, at its brightest time, yet God turned, the sun off, and there was darkness, there was darkness, just like he did, in Egypt, when he, placed darkness, upon the Egyptian, who, represent the world, God turned, if it were, the sun, from shining, for the second, three hours, and there, beloved

brothers, and sisters, he lay, upon Yeshua, the iniquities, of us all, as Isaiah, predicted, in Isaiah 53, verse 6, all, we like sheep, have gone astray, we have turned, all, each of us, to his own way, and the Lord, Jehovah, laid, upon him, the Mashiach, the iniquities, of us all, when did he do it?

in the second, three hours, when the Lord Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, was there, on a Roman cross, darkness, no one could enter in, it is there, that God, who is holy, laid, the judgment, on this man, who is sinless, as a punishment, for the sin, of this world, you know, we have read, Psalm 22, where David, speaking about the Messiah, prophetically says, my God, my God, why, has thou forsaken me, why, are thou so far, from helping me, and from the words, of my roaring, oh my God, I cry, in the daytime, but thou hearest not, and in the night season, and I am not silent, and look what David said, prophetically, this is the

words, of the Messiah, who said, but thou unholy, holy, thou that inhabitest, the praises of Israel, God is holy, no one single sin, could stand before God, otherwise, he is not a holy God, that's why, every sin, that you and I, have committed, had to be paid for, and every sin, that you and I, have committed, past, present, and what we will commit, after the meeting, or maybe right now, as we sit here, and as we speak, those, all those sins, has to be washed away, by the blood of the Lamb, and that's why, there was that darkness, no one could enter in, and God is now, laying upon him, stroke, upon stroke, upon stroke,

as we read, in other passages, in the psalm, all thy waves, and billows, have run, over me, he bore everything, beloved brothers, and sisters, God's righteous, indignation, had to be laid, upon an innocent, person, that's why, when Israel, would be offering, a sacrifice, it had to have, no blemish in it, a perfect lamb, typifying, the perfect man, Yeshua, the Messiah, from Nazareth, the Son of God, for example, Paul said, in 2nd Corinthians, chapter 5, and verse 21, he has made him, to be, sin, for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made, the righteousness, of God, God made him, sin, he didn't make him, sinner, no, but he made him, sin, atoning, sin,

sacrifice, and order, that you, and I, will be now, recognized, and be made, the righteousness, of God, amazing, to grasp, this truth, beloved, brothers, and sisters, Peter said it, this way, in 1st Peter, chapter 3, and verse 18, listen to this, beautiful verse, for Messiah, also has once, suffered for sins, the just, for the unjust, that he might bring us, to God, being put to death, in the flesh, but quickened, by the spirit, for the Messiah, has once, suffered, for sins, peace, this is, called, propitiation, he satisfied God, and then, the just, for the unjust, this is, really, substitution, he is the just, we are the unjust, that he might bring it, to God, this

is reconciliation, we, who are far from God, he reconciled us, through the blood, of his cross, being put to death, in the flesh, he died, but he was resurrected, he was quickened, by the Holy Spirit, of God, amazing truth, to learn here, as we read, these verses, now please, go back, to Mark, chapter 15, and there you notice, the cry, of the Lord, I said to you, that there was, seven statements, that Yeshua, said, from the cross, the first, three, he spoke about, in the first, three hours, when he suffered, by the hands of man, and the second, four, he said, after he suffered, by the hand of God, and he said, in Mark, chapter

15, verse 34, Elohi, Elohi, at the ninth hour, lama azavtani, why did you forsake me?

And of course, the answer, is in Psalm 22, 22, for thou art holy, thou, that inhabitest, the praises, of Israel.

Brothers and sisters, just let me mention, one more point, before I leave, this verse, you notice, that when Yeshua, was in the garden, of Gethsemane, in chapter 14, in verse 36, there, Yeshua said, Abba, Father, Avi, my Father, all things, are possible, unto thee, take away, this cup from me, nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done, in the garden, he didn't say, my God, but he said, my Father, Avi, Abba Shili, but on the cross, he didn't say, my Father, but he said, my God, my God, Elohi, Elohi, lama azavtani, now what is the difference, that is so important, to understand, he was speaking, to the same God, to the same Father, in the

Godhead, we have the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it is the Son, who became a man, and as a man, he is the one, that went to die, on that shameful cross, for the sin of this world, but you see, in the garden, he was speaking, to his Father, the same God, and there he said, Abba, Avi, my Father, he said, if it is possible, take away, take away, the judgment, that I am going to, take upon myself soon, but you know, Abba, Father, nevertheless, not my will, but I know, that I have to submit, to your will, as my Father, and I am going to go, to pay, for the sin,

of this world, but you see, at the cross, the very same, Father, now was acting, as a judge, and as a judge, it's not so much, the issue, of a relationship, of father, and a son, there, as a judge, a holy judge, he had to judge, and punish sin, and at the cross, Yeshua, the Messiah, was punished, for the sin, of this world, and that's why, he didn't say there, my father, my father, no, at the cross, he says, my God, my God, because, their, God, his, father, acted, as a judge, and he punished, the very one, whom he loved, so much, but he is a judge, sin has to be judged, and I imagine,

for example, if you and I, have a father, who is a judge, in one of the cities here, and he's at home, is my father, but one thing, I've done something wrong, or you have done something wrong, and one day, we have to stand, before my very own father, who loves me, and I love him, but now, he's at the court, the city hall, so when we go to the city hall, and we stand before the, same judge, who is my father, can I, or can you say to him, hey, I've done something wrong, but don't forget, you are my father, and I would like you to forgive me, because you are my father, and

the father gonna say, son, I love you, but you violated, the law of the land, and as a judge, I must be true, to you, as to any other one, who committed something wrong, and I must punish you, because of the wrong doing, that you have done, I love you, attain me, to see you being punished, but yet, as a judge, Shophet, I have, to judge you, in accordance, with the law, and God's law, is holy, and he must judge sin, and therefore, in the garden, of Gat Shmanim, Gethsemane, he says, Abba, my father, Avi, Avi, but not at the cross, because on the cross, on the altar, the very same father, is acting as

a judge, imagine the pain, that this father, who is a judge, has in his own heart, when he has to judge, the very one, that he loves so much, that never sinned, he has to judge him, for something, he has never done, you and I, deserve to be there, not him, and that's amazing, that's what captures, our hearts, that he was willing, to be punished, on our behalf, that's why we love him, because he first, loved us.

And after, Yeshua, the Messiah, the Messiah, had to cry, that cry, in verse 34, my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?

And you notice, in verse 35, and 36, and some of them, that stood by, when they heard it, said, behold, he is calling Elias, Elias, in Hebrew, the word is really, Eliyahu, this is Eliyahu, Hanavi, Elijah, the prophet, and some ran, and filled a sponge, full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, let alone, let us see, whether Elias, will come, to take him down, you see, beloved brothers and sisters, notice the word, that he cried, Elohi, Elohi, Lama, Shvaktani, in verse 34, you notice, very similar, to the word, Elias, Eli, Eli, Eliyahu, and you notice, that some, saying, let alone, let us see, whether Eliyahu, will come,

to take him down, and if you, remember, beloved brothers and sisters, in the scripture, in the prophet, Malachi, we had that promise, that God, had given to our people, Israel of old, and there, there is a promise, that Elijah, will come, we read about him, in Malachi, chapter 3, in Malachi, chapter 4, those verses, that speaks, about the messenger, that will come, but you notice, here, specifically, it says, in chapter 4, of Malachi, and verse 5, behold, I will send you, Elijah, or Eliyahu, the prophet, before the coming, of the great, and dreadful, day of the Lord, and he shall turn, the heart of the fathers, to the children, and the heart of the children,

to their fathers, lest I come, and smite the earth, with a curse, well, there is a promise, that was given, to our forefathers, that Eliyahu, Anavi, Elijah, the prophet, will come, to restore, the hearts, of the people, of Israel, the fathers, to the children, but you see, Eliyahu, will come, but not, at the first coming, of the Messiah, at the first coming, of the Messiah, John, the baptizer, Yohanan, the baptizer, introduced him, at his first coming, before, he started, his ministry, at the Jordan River, and, you see, the Messiah, did come, he presented himself, before Israel, but eventually, he had to go, to pay, for the price, of the sin, and sins, of this world,

when he died, the Roman cross, but he, will come, in a future day, and eventually, he will restore, the hearts, of the fathers, to the children, and Israel, eventually, will recognize, Yeshua, the Messiah, of Israel, the Savior, of this world, and accept him, and eventually, the Messianic kingdom, will come, but here, we see, that, verses 35, and 36, some, that stood by, there, when they heard, these words, Elohi, Elohi, lama shvaktani, or, in another gospel, Eli, Eli, lama shvaktani, which really means, my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me, so they were assuming, that he was calling, Eliyahu, Eliyahu Hanavi, Elijah, the prophet, so, when they heard it, they said, behold, he is calling,

Eliyahu, he is calling Elijah, and one of them ran, and filled up, a sponge, full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, let alone, let us see, whether Eliyahu, will come, to take him down, and that is, where we have, that following, cry, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, with a loud voice, in order, to conclude, the work, of redemption, where he cried, with a loud voice, and he gave up, the spirit, amazing, amazing, when you think, about these, beloved brothers, and sisters, so, after the cry, in verses 35, and 36, you notice, what happened, beloved brothers, and sisters, in verse 37, notice, he gave up the spirit, it's

so interesting, to me, I mean, I can speak about it, for a long time, nobody took away, his life, he gave up, the spirit, you know, you and I, when we die, a spirit, taken out, of us, but when he died, he did it, willingly, nobody took it, away from him, he gave up, the spirit, who can do that, who can decide, when you die, nobody can make, this decision, that's why today, when they want to commit, what you call, a mercy death, and they unplug, that person there, there is always, the struggle, is could we do it, or could we not do it, is it legal, or is it not, is it moral, or

is it not, but here's a man, Yeshua, who decided, when he's gonna die, he laid down, he gave up the spirit, and notice what happened, beloved brothers, and sisters, in verse 38, the veil of the temple, was rent in twain, from the top, to the bottom, and you and I, might ask why, well listen, the veil, of the temple, that God, have instructed, our people, to have their, that no one, will enter, into the holy, of holy, lest he die, you remember, with Aaron's two sons, offered a strange fire, God smote them, on the spot, and in the, Yom HaKippurim, the day of atonement, God said, in Exodus chapter, 16, to Moshe, to tell Aaron,

you tell Aaron, when he come, into the holy, of holy, that he did not, come at any time, as he pleased, lest he die, God, had that veil, to separate, from the ordinary, individuals, in this case, our people of old, and the high priest, alone, could enter in, only one time, in a year, that's it, on the tenth day, of the month, of Nisan, Yom HaKippurim, the day of atonement, but now, that very same veil, was rent, from the top, not from the bottom, but from the top, to the bottom, it was a high veil, because the temple, was large, and the veil, was thick, no ordinary individual, could rip, that veil, from the bottom,

to the top, but God, had opened, the veil, in order, to allow, mankind, to enter, into his, immediate, presence, with no limitation, and the veil, of the temple, was rent, from, the top, to, the bottom, and you know why, beloved brothers, and sisters, God, has been satisfied, the work, of redemption, is complete, there is nothing, to be added, there is no more, need to be waiting, for another Messiah, who will come, on another day, God, is completely, satisfied, with the work, of his beloved son, and so the centurion, in verse 39, when he, stood against him, when he saw, that he, cried out, he gave up, the spirit, he said, listen, what the centurion said,

truly, this man, was the son, of, God, he recognized him, that he was, the son of God, and there were women there, looking afar off, among, of whom, there was, Miriam Magdalene, and Miriam, the mother of James, the lesson, Joseph, and Salome, who were, serving Yeshua, the Messiah, in Galilee, and beloved brothers, and sisters, the work, of redemption, was completed, God, is satisfied, the entrance, to his presence, is now, a veil, for anyone, who would truly, believe, in Yeshua, the Messiah, Hebrews 9, and Hebrews 10, tells us, that the veil, is open, let us draw in, with assurance, of faith, into the presence, of the Lord, because the veil, had been rent, and we can

come in, boldly, into the immediate, presence, of God, may the Lord, bless, his word, to us all.
