[00:00:00] Welcome to Faith in Focus from the Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn, The Resurrection Land. I was sitting in his study by his desk when he showed me an ancient coin. What do you see on it? asked the teacher. A man standing by a palm tree, I said, and under the tree is a woman sitting down. The man is a Roman soldier, he said, and the woman represents Israel weeping.
[00:00:28] It's called Judea Capta, a commemorative coin issued by the Romans to celebrate their destruction of Israel. Now look at this! He handed me another coin, silver and not ancient, but modern. What do you see? The palm tree, the woman, and a man. But it's different. The woman is standing up and holding a baby, and the man is planting a tree. It's called Israel Liberata. It's the coin issued by Israel
[00:00:56] after it came back into the world. It's based on the Roman coin. But the image of death and sorrow has turned into one of resurrection and joy. Nations are born and grow. But Israel is different. Israel is a resurrection. And what is a resurrection? It's a restoring of what once was. So the coins of Israel are the resurrections of its ancient coins.
[00:01:23] Its language is the resurrection of its ancient language. Its cities, the resurrections of its ancient cities. Even its trees and forests are the resurrections of its ancient trees and forests. And much of these resurrections came through translating what was in the Bible into reality. Through the word came the nation. The resurrection of Israel is a sign, a picture of salvation.
[00:01:51] You see, our salvation is not only a new birth. It's a resurrection. It's a restoration. But we've never been anything else but fallen, I said. How can we be restored or resurrected to what we've never been? If this is the fallen version, then there has to be another version. The person God made you to be. That is the resurrection of salvation. In it, you become that which you were always meant to become.
[00:02:19] God's holy creation. The you as you would have been if you were never fallen. And how do you take part in that resurrection? You do as did Israel in its resurrection. You translate the word of God into your life in every area and realm. Make your goal resurrection. That you might become that which in him you are and are to be. The mission. Your life is a resurrection.
[00:02:48] Follow, in the word of God, the pattern for life And become the person you were created to become. Jeremiah 30-31 Hosea 6-2 After two days will he revive us. In the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. After two days will he revive us. In the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Amos 9-14-15
[00:03:17] And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel. And they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them,
[00:03:44] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. The Resurrection Zion. Thank you for joining me on Faith in Focus.
