Today, 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to be continuing on the subject of covenants 10 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: and how this helps us to understand how God dealt 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: with humanity throughout various different epochs of time as the 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: Bible records. Today, I'm going to be talking about the 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: Covenant of Adam or the Covenant of Creation, and also 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: Noah's covenant. So the word covenant does not appear when 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: God talks to talks about what He's going to give 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: to Adom and them when he talks to Adam, but 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: all the characteristics of covenant are there, so briefly, to 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: review from previous podcasts, they always involve covenant heads. So 19 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: the Hebrew word for Adam actually means man. So this 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: is the covenant between man and God all mankind. The 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: terms are what it takes to keep the covenant, along 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: with the blessings for fulfillment and the curses for failure 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: to keep it. So here I'm going to start with 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: Genesis one, twenty six to twenty eight. So this is 25 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: before man is made. Obviously, Then God said, let us 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: make man in our image according to our likeness. Let 27 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: the earth. So God created man in his own image 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: and the image of God. He created him male and female. 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: He created them. Then God bless them, and God said 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: to them, be fruitful and multiply fill the earth and 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: over the birds of the air, and over every living 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: thing that moves on the earth. So that's the first part. 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: And then after Adam is around and God gives him 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: the terms, this is what he says. So in Genesis two, 39 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: beginning in verse sixteen sixteen to twenty three, and the 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: Lord God commanded the man, saying of every tree of 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: the garden you may freely eat. But of the tree 42 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: for in the day that you eat of it, you 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: shall surely die. And the Lord God said, it is 45 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: not good that man should be alone. I will make 46 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: him a helper comparable to him. Out of the ground. 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: The Lord formed every beast of the field and every 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: and to every beast of the field. But for Adam 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: there was not a helper, and not found a helper 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: comparable to him. And the Lord God caused a deep 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and he 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh 57 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: had taken from man, he made into a woman, and 59 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: he brought her to the man. And Adam said, this 60 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: flesh shall be called woman, because she was taken out 62 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: of man. Okay, So the provisions that God has made 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: are dominion over the earth, companionship offspring. He told him 64 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: to be fruitful and multiply purpose tending the garden, naming 65 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: the animals, and they were given authority. So Psalm eighty 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: two was reflecting back on this in Psalm eighty two, 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 2: And I mean it says dominion, so this is authority. 68 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: But Psalm eighty two, verse six says, I said you 69 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: are gods, and you and all of you are children 70 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: of the Most High. This is God's little guh. But 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: I mean, essentially God is delegated the authority of the 72 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: earth to man at this point. Psalm one fifteen also 73 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: talks about this. See if I can find that. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Okay. 75 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: Psalm one fifteen, verse sixteen says the heaven, even the heavens, 76 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: are the lords, but the earth he is given to 77 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: the children of men. So He's explicitly designated at this 78 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: point that this is that the mankind are to be 79 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: the stewards of the earth. God also told them eat 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: from any tree in the garden, com mingling of all 81 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: God has. So that's one of the characteristics of covenant, 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: is sharing all things in common. And at this point 83 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: Adam has nothing, so God is everything and that includes 84 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: the Tree of life. At that point that's implicit, so 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 2: I mean it's every tree. The only one that's accepted 86 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: is the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil. 87 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: We find out that the Tree of life was previously 88 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: included when the fall happens and God expels them so 89 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 2: that they don't eat from the Tree of life after 90 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: that point. But up until that point, that's the tree 91 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: of life, which means eternal life too. And God the 92 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: only terms was don't eat from the Tree of the 93 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: Knowledge of Good and evil or you'll die, is what 94 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: he said. The blood is only involved after the fall, 95 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: So at that point in Genesis three, verse twenty one 96 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: is where so Adam knows that now he's naked. Adam 97 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: and you both know that they're naked. So it says 98 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: also for Adam and his wife, the Lord God made 99 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: tunics of skin and them. So it doesn't say that 100 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: God killed an animal in order to produce these skins, 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: but that's where the skin comes from. So presumably this 102 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: is animal sacrifice, and we have good reason to think 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: that because that gets carried throughout the rest of scripture. 104 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: Some animal had to die because Adam zinnd in this 105 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: particular case, so there was an immediate death for something, 106 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: but eventually death would catch up with Adam and all 107 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: of Adam's race as well, And so at some point 108 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: this must have been also explicitly communicated. We know that 109 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: because in Genesis four, where Cain and Abel are involved, 110 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: so Abel was the keeper of the sheep, So this 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: is Genesis four. I'll start it four four and five. 112 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: Abel also brought of the first firstborn of his flock 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: and of their fat, and the Lord respected Abel and 114 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: his offering, but he did not respect Cain and his offering, 115 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: and Cain was very angry in his countenance fell. So 116 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: there's no it's not in the text that God specifically 117 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 2: told Adam and Eve or Cain and Abel that he 118 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: required a blood sacrifice. But obviously Cain knew, and he 119 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: decided that he was going to bring the fruit of 120 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: his of farming. Anyway, Abel was the one he brought 121 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: what he had, but what he had was the blood, 122 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: and that's what God required, So we know at some 123 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: point that that does get made explicit. Also, even though 124 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: the word covenant doesn't show up here, in Hoseiah six, 125 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: verse seven, it says but like Adam. Some translations say 126 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 2: but like men, but in Hebrew they're the same word. 127 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: They have broken the covenant. They were unfaithful to me. 128 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: There at that point, he's talking about Israel and Judah, 129 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 2: but he's making the comparison that just like Adam fell, 130 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: Israel and Judah also broke the covenant that was in 131 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: place for them, the Mosaic covenant at that point as well. 132 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: So what was going on in the garden. Satan was 133 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: the accuser, so he had no power. Yet the only 134 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: thing he could do at this point was deceived. So 135 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Genesis three to one says, now the serpent was more 136 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord 137 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: God had made. And he said to the woman, has 138 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree 139 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: of the garden. So notice the slight implication here. So 140 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: God's given them absolutely everything except one tree, and that's 141 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: the thing that Satan point out is the one thing 142 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to have. Why can't you have that? 143 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: Is he holding out on you? Is kind of the 144 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: implication there. And so then verses four and five is 145 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: where Eve responds and says that he says that we 146 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: may eat of the trees of the garden, but of 147 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst 148 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: of the garden. God has said you shall not eat it, 149 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: nor shall you touch it lest you die. So that's 150 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: interesting because that was never in the original terms. God 151 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: never said you can't touch it. God just said you 152 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: can't eat it. So I'm just wondering if maybe the 153 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 2: fact that Eve got the second hand, because God originally 154 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 2: gave Adam the terms before Eve had been created, if 155 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: the fact that she wasn't there meant that it's kind 156 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: of like playing telephone and she got things just slightly wrong, 157 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: and that might have been significant in the sense that 158 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: after that when the woman's so verse six, when the 159 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: woman saw that the tree was good for food and 160 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree 161 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit 162 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: and ate so you have to take it in order 163 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: to eat it. But I wonder if taking it and 164 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: she didn't and immediately drop dead convinced her that maybe 165 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: the rest was of what Satan had implied was true 166 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: also when in fact it was slightly twisted, so that 167 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: caused doubt to arise in her mind. I'm just speculating, 168 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: but I wonder if that had something to do with it, 169 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: so that could have been part of it. But then 170 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: Satan the serpent more specifically though, he tells her, so 171 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: she says, you will not that we will surely die. 172 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: Satan says, the serpent says, you will not surely die, 173 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: for God knows that in the day that you eat 174 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: of it, your eyes will be opened and you will 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: be like God, knowing good and evil. So he's essentially 176 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: slandering God's character. He is saying God is holding out 177 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: on you. And if Eve had trusted God, had trusted 178 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 2: that God loved her and that he was giving her 179 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 2: every good and perfect gift, she would have told Satan 180 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: to go take a hike and it wouldn't have been 181 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: tempted by it. But she believed him, and so that 182 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: was really the first that doubt was the beginning of 183 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: her beginning her actually following through with what Satan was 184 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: tempting her to do. Okay, so after the fall, all 185 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: all mankind, because Adam's the covenant head, so everybody below 186 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: him is in on this same deal. So he's now 187 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: on the cursing side of the covenant, and that means 188 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: spiritual death. That's what God told them. If you eat 189 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: of this, then you will surely die. So everything that 190 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: was under Adam was likewise curse. Because Adam was in 191 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: charge of the earth, he had dominion. So now the 192 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: earth itself was cursed. We see that in so this 193 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: is when God was speaking to Adam after the fact cursed. 194 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: This is a versus Genesis three, verse seventeen. Cursed is 195 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 2: the ground for your sake in toil. You shall eat 196 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: of it all the days of your life, both thorns 197 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: and thistles. It shall bring forth for you, and you 198 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: shall eat the herb of the field. Okay. And then 199 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: later Paul makes this explicit as well in Romans Romans eight, 200 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: verse let's see we're doing nineteen Romans eight, nineteen to 201 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: twenty two for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly 202 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For 203 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because 204 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: of Him who subjected it. In hope, because the creation 205 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption 206 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For 207 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: we know that the whole creation groans and labors with 208 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 2: birth pangs together until now. So that's part of the curse, 209 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 2: is that everything that is underneath ends up getting cursed death. 210 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: So God told them they will die. They didn't immediately die, 211 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: the animal did, but spiritual death begins at that moment, 212 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: the moment that they sin, so sin is essentially incipient death. 213 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 2: James tells us that. So James one five, this is fine. 214 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 2: James one to fifteen says, Then when desire is conceived, 215 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: it gives birth the sin, and sin when it is 216 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: full grown, brings forth death. So God told them that 217 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: they would die. They didn't die that instant. In fact, 218 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: Adam didn't die until almost a thousand years later, but 219 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: back then people lived a whole lot longer before the flood. 220 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: But essentially the process was set in motion more or less. 221 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: And they were also sent out of the garden, which 222 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: essentially sealed their fate because this means now you cannot 223 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: continue to eat from the tree of life, which is 224 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: what gives eternal life. So we see that that was 225 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: the whole reason that God sent them out of the garden. 226 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: God still wanted to fellowship with them, but in verse okay, 227 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: Genesis three, verse twenty two, then the Lord God said, 228 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: behold the man has become like one of us to 229 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: know good and evil. And now lest he put out 230 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: his hand and take also of the tree of life 231 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: and eat and live forever. Therefore the Lord God sent 232 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: him out of the garden of Eden to till the 233 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: ground from which he was taken. So we drove out 234 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: the man, and he placed the chair of him at 235 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming 236 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: sword which turned every way to guard the way to 237 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: the Tree of life. So this was merciful. God was 238 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: not wanting man to live forever in our fallen state. 239 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: We had limited time, even though at that point it 240 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: was a whole lot longer than it is now. We 241 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: had limited time. But he wanted to bring forth redemption ultimately, 242 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 2: so eventually the physical death would fall and pain and 243 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: child bearing. Eve was also told this part. So this 244 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: is Genesis three, verse sixteen. So this is also here's 245 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: all the things that are happening on the cursing side. 246 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: He tells Eve, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and 247 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 2: your conception and pain. You shall bring forth children. Your 248 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: desires shall be for your husband, and he shall rule 249 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: over you. So at that point also the hierarchy within 250 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: the household was set up to the gender hierarchy, and 251 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: Satan was also now in charge legally. So mankind, remember, 252 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: had authority on earth, God gave it to him. So 253 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: God voluntarily limited his power by giving it Adam. To Adam, 254 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: who were in charge of the earth. Now they became 255 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: slaves of Satan through sin and Romans six verse sixteen says, 256 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 2: do you not know that to whom you present yourself 257 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: slaves to obey? You are that one slaves whom you obey, 258 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: whether of sin leading to death or of obedience leading 259 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: to righteousness. So Satan then has the power that originally 260 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: was supposed to belong to Adam at this point, and 261 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: he used it. John ten ten tells us to steal, kill, 262 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: and destroy. So that was still the case all the 263 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: way up until jesus death and resurrection. That was the 264 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: whole thing God was trying to do. So when Jesus 265 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: was on the earth, Satan was tempting Jesus in the 266 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: wilderness and Luke go he use just There's multiple examples 267 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: of recordings of this story of Satan tempting Jesus, but 268 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: Luke four, verse six is where Satan takes it the devil, 269 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: So in the new testimony now becomes the devil, which 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 2: is the false accuser, rather than the accuser, which is 271 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: what Satan means. Then the devil, taking him up on 272 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the 273 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: world in a moment of time, and the devil said 274 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: to him, all this authority I will give you and 275 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: their glory, for this has been delivered to me, and 276 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if you 277 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: will worship before me, all will be yours. And Jesus 278 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: answered and said to him, get behind me, Satan, for 279 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: it has written you shall worship the Lord, your God, 280 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 2: and him only shall you serve. Notice what Jesus did 281 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: not say there. He did not say, that's a lie. 282 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 2: He did not say that I can that it's a lie, 283 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: that Satan could give this to whomever he wish, and 284 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: that it is his, because Jesus knew it was true. 285 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: At that point in history. It was it did all 286 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: belong to Satan, and Satan could theoretically have given that 287 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: authority to Jesus had he so chosen. I'm sure he 288 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: would have double crossed him if that. If the opportunity 289 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: had come. But Jesus also said in a couple of places. 290 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: I guess I won't read them, because it just essentially says, 291 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: Jesus calls Satan the ruler of this world. John fourteen, 292 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: verse thirty and John twelve, verse thirty one. Jesus recognizes 293 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: he is the ruler of this world. And Matthew eight 294 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: twenty nine is also an interesting peelback the curtain moment. 295 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: So in this situation, okay, Matthew eight verse twenty nine, 296 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: So this is when Jesus is Okay, it says when 297 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: he'd come to the other side, to the country of 298 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: the Gergesenes. I think this is the gatherings. Yeah, the gatherings. 299 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: My translation just doesn't say that there he met there 300 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: met him two demon possessed men coming out of the tombs, 301 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: exceedingly fearce so that no one could pass that way. 302 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: And suddenly they cried out, saying, what have we to 303 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 2: do with you, Jesus, you son of God? Have you 304 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: come here to torment us before the time? Before the time. 305 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: So that's interesting, right, because that implies that they're crying foul. 306 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: They're trying to say, you're not allowed to do this 307 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: yet they realize that eventually they're going to be cast out, 308 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 2: but they still have legal authority to be here, is 309 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: what they're saying. So what they don't understand is that 310 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: the reason why Jesus could do what he did before 311 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: his death and resurrection was because even though yes, he 312 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: is God and it is not legal for God to 313 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: come in and directly intervene without a man to intervene 314 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: for him, because Jesus was also one hundred percent human, 315 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: he could do it. So he was like the Trojan horse. 316 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: They didn't understand all of this. They were just saying, 317 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: you're God, you're not allowed to cast us out, but 318 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: he did anyway. And then later in retrospect we can 319 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: see what was actually going on, but this was this 320 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: was a legal discussion essentially, so Satan kept power all 321 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: the way up until Jesus died and rose from the 322 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: dead Matthew twenty eight. This is where post resurrection Jesus says, 323 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: all power and authority were given to me. I'm going 324 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: to read it, okay, Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen. And 325 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, all authority has 326 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go 327 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them 328 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: in the name of the Father and of the Son 329 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all 330 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: things that I have commanded you, And lo I am 331 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. 332 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: But the point here is now he's saying, all authority 333 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: is given to me. It wasn't before, but now it is. 334 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: He's gotten it back because he's gone through all the 335 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: legal channels and he's checked all those boxes. This is 336 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: the absolute only way he could do it. But he 337 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: did it, and now we're also Paul told us in 338 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 2: Collostions another interesting description of what was going on in 339 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: the spirit realm around that time. Okay, Colossians two, verse 340 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: fifteen says, having disarmed principalities and powers, he Jesus made 341 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. 342 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: So this is a word picture of what used to 343 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 2: happen when there was a king that was conquered. They 344 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: would drag him back through the streets of the conqueror 345 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: so that they could see he's never going to be 346 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: a threat to you anymore. They're making a public spectacle 347 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: that's what Paul is referencing here that Jesus did to Satan, 348 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: because now Jesus has the keys of the kingdom back, 349 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: He's gotten it all back, so things are different now. 350 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: But so backing up a little bit, it wasn't God's 351 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 2: will that the fall should happen in the first place. 352 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: So God told Adam do not eat of the fruit. 353 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: He did everything he possibly could to prevent Adam from 354 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 2: eating the fruit. It was not his intention that all 355 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: of this would happen, and we see that he was 356 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: heartbroken if you look at the phrasing. Here where the Lord. 357 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: So now I'm back in Genesis three. Then the Lord 358 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: God called to Adam and said to him, where are you? 359 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: So he said, I heard your voice in the garden, 360 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: and I was afraid because I was naked, and I 361 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: hid myself. And he God said, who told you you 362 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which 363 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 2: I commanded you that you should not eat? Then the 364 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: man said, the woman whom you gave to be with me, 365 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: she gave me of the truth, and I ate. And 366 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: the Lord said to the Lord God said to the woman, 367 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: what is this you have done? The woman said, the 368 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 2: serpent deceived me and I ate. But I can just 369 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: imagine how God knew this was going to happen. He's omniscient, 370 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: but it wasn't what he wanted. He wanted fellowship with 371 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 2: his people, his creature, his creatures. But now he has 372 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: to come up with plan B. So think of this 373 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: like you're a landlord and you're renting out the house, 374 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: and now you're tenant, have legal right to be there. 375 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 2: You cannot get back in that house without having express 376 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: permission of the people. So now God has to figure 377 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: out a way to get back on the inside and 378 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: do what he needs to do. So that is what 379 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: all of the covenants are ultimately tending toward. And God 380 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 2: tells us, gives us a little hint of what his 381 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: plan is at the very end of all of this, 382 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: at the very end of the fall, where the curse 383 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: in Genesis three, verse fifteen says, and I will put 384 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 2: enmity between you and the woman, between her seed, your 385 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: seed and her seed. This is talking to the serpent. 386 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. 387 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: So the seed of Eve is the first reference to 388 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: Jesus in the scripture, and very oblique, of course, but 389 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: ultimately the purpose of all of the covenants is to 390 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: get God back on the inside so that he can 391 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: get his man in to do what Jesus ultimately did, 392 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: so that he can redeem us. That was the whole 393 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 2: point of it. So this is covenant number one, So 394 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: everybody has fallen at this point. The very next covenant 395 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: that shows up in the scriptures is Noah's covenant, and 396 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: I'll end with this one. So Noah's covenant. Prior to 397 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 2: this was the period where there were no laws at 398 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: all against evil. So Romans four fifteen references this. You 399 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: find that one second Orse fifteen because the law brings 400 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: about wrath. Where there is no law, there is no transgression. 401 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: So at this point there's no transgression quote unquote. Essentially 402 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: the sin is not being imputed unto man, which means 403 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: that sin is just running rampant. So think of a 404 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: toddler with absolutely no rules. They do whatever they want 405 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 2: and there's no checks and balances, and within a couple 406 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: of generations, sure enough, things look pretty awful. So this 407 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 2: is Genesis six, where essentially God is looking and seeing 408 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: that there's only evil, that the thoughts of man are 409 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: only evil all the time. Okay, so let's see where 410 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: do we say that. Okay, this is Genesis six. Then 411 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great 412 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts 413 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 2: of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord 414 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: was sorry that he had made man on the earth, 415 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: and he was grieved in his heart. So that was 416 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: the situation. But prior to that, so I'm going to 417 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: back up slightly in the can and Able situation. So 418 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: Cain murders his brother, right, And what's very interesting is 419 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: that at that point God does not punish murder because 420 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 2: there was no law against murder. So when Cain cries 421 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: out to God that there's going to be vengeance from 422 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: his brothers against him for killing his other brother, we 423 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: just assume there's other brothers because who else is going 424 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 2: to kill him? And he's talking about that, God says 425 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: in Genesis four, verse fifteen, and the Lord said to him, Therefore, 426 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: whoever kills Cain vengeance, she'll be taken upon him sevenfold. 427 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: And the Lord said, of mark on Cain, lest anyone 428 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 2: finding him should kill him. Okay, because there's no law, 429 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: there's the sin not being imputed. Yet at this point, 430 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 2: so God's actually protecting even though murder has always been evil, 431 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: but there wasn't a law that said so yet, so 432 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 2: it hadn't Sin hadn't come alive in that regard. So 433 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 2: Satan's strategy meanwhile through throughout, like basically from the garden on, 434 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 2: was to prevent the ceed of E from showing up. 435 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 2: So this is what's happening in the heavenlys. He wants 436 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 2: to make sure there's no seat of Eve. So his 437 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: next strategy, we now find out in Genesis six, is 438 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: the Nephelin. So Genesis six wonder four. Now it came 439 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 2: to pass when men began to multiply on the face 440 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 2: of the earth and daughters were born to them, that 441 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: the sons of God, which that same word is used 442 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: elsewhere to refer to angels, saw the daughters of men, 443 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: that they were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves 444 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: of all whom they chose. Okay, So that's essentially corruption 445 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: of the human genetic line. So God said it has 446 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 2: to be a seed of Eve, it has to be 447 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 2: a pure human right. So now Satan is sending his 448 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: angels or I guess it doesn't say that Satan sent them, 449 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 2: but presumably this was under his direction. The angels are 450 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: now commingling the blood line, they're contaminating the blood line. 451 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 2: If it gets too contaminated, there's no humans left. So 452 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: where's the seed of Eve going to come from? Where's 453 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: redemption going to come from? At that point? Genesis six' 454 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: nine says this is the genealogy Of. Noah noah was 455 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: a just, man perfect in his. Generations So i've heard 456 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: that interpreted that that means That noah was a righteous, 457 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 2: man which was also, true but certainly a lot of 458 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: what was going on in his, family if you keep, 459 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: reading wasn't particularly. RIGHTEOUS i suspect what this actually meant 460 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: was that his bloodline was. Pure So god had very few, 461 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: people presumably to choose from at this point whose blood 462 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: lines were still. PURE i think that's probably what it meant. 463 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: Here but we're told that these The nephelim in this 464 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: story were half. Breath we're also told that In genesis, 465 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: six verse, four there were giants on the earth in those, 466 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 2: days and also afterward when the sons Of god came 467 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: into the daughters of men and they bore children to. 468 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 2: Them those were the mighty men who were of old 469 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: men of, renown and these are also referred when it 470 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: says also, afterwards they're referenced in The Promised land When 471 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: joshua goes, in And joshua in the twelve spot and 472 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: the rest of the other eleven, spies and they see 473 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: all of the giants, there and they're told that these 474 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: are The. Nephelin so there's still some more of that 475 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: going on, somehow one way or the. Other but these 476 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: were essentially half breeds more or. Less this is likely 477 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: Why god had to destroy the earth in the first. 478 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: Place what's going on in the heavenly is in the. 479 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: Background so after the, flood After noah's the one, left 480 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 2: we're told In genesis, eight verse, twenty Then noah built 481 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: an altar to The lord and took of every clean 482 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: animal and every clean, bird and offered burnt offerings on the. 483 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: Altar so there's the blood sacrifice. Again and The lord 484 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: smelled a soothing. Aroma then The lord said in his, 485 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: HEART i will never again curse the ground for man's, 486 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: sake although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his, 487 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: Youth nor WILL i again destroy every living thing AS 488 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: i have. Done so this Is god's terms this is 489 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: what he's vowing to.

Earth 524 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: And god, said this is the sign of the covenant 525 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 2: WHICH i make between me and you and every living 526 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: creature that is with, you for perpetual. GENERATIONS i set 527 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: my rainbow in the. Cloud this is the first sign 528 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: of a. Covenant and it shall be the sign of 529 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 2: the covenant between me and the. Earth it shall be 530 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: WHEN i bring a cloud over the, earth that the 531 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 2: rainbow shall be seen in the, cloud AND i will 532 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: remember my covenant which is between me and you and 533 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: every living creature of all. Flesh the waters shall never 534 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: again become a flood to destroy all. Flesh the rainbow 535 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 2: shall be in the, cloud AND i will look on 536 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: it and remember the everlasting covenant Between god and every 537 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: living creature of all flesh that is on the. Earth 538 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: And god said To, noah this is the sign of 539 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: the covenant WHICH i have established between me and all 540 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 2: flesh that is on the. Earth, okay So noah's covenants, 541 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: again terms and. Conditions there's a blood sacrifice at the 542 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: very beginning of. It god promises to never destroy the 543 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: earth in a flood specifically, again and note that one 544 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: really important point here Is god is, sovereign which means he, 545 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: could but he says he. Won't so that means that he's. 546 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 2: Committed he's bound himself by his, word and he exalts 547 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 2: his word even above his. Name so In psalm one 548 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: thirty eight on thirty eight one a second someone thirty, 549 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: eight verse two, SAYS i will worship towards your holy 550 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 2: sample and praise your name for your loving kindness and your, 551 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 2: Truth for you have magnified your word above all your, 552 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: name so he's really exalting what he. Says he is 553 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 2: going to keep his word no matter, what, right And 554 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: hebrews one three says that he's upholding all things by 555 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: the authority of that. Word hebrews one three, says who 556 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: being the brightness of his glory and the express image 557 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: of his, person and upholding all things by the word 558 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 2: of his. Power so the fact That god can do 559 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: something doesn't mean that he will if he's already explicitly said. 560 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: Otherwise he's standing on, That and that becomes very important 561 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 2: as we go through the rest of this series because 562 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 2: it's VERY a lot of times people will, say, well 563 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 2: you never really know What god's going to. Do he 564 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 2: can do anything he. Wants, yeah he. Can but if 565 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: he's explicitly said he's not going to do, something then 566 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 2: you can rest on. That if he's explicitly said he 567 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 2: is going to do, something you can rest on. That 568 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: because he stands behind his. Word he exalts his word 569 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: even above his. Name he is going to stand by. 570 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: That so the provisions In Noah's covenant are. Fertility they 571 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: can eat meat, now so before that everybody was vegetarian 572 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: and animals will fear, humans which those are probably related 573 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: conditions are don't eat the meat with the blood in 574 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: it and don't. Murder and then the first sign of 575 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 2: the covenant was the. Rainbow SO i think next time 576 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: my plan is to do a little kind of mini 577 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: a side on The book Of, job even though there's 578 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: no covenant With. Joe BUT i think that it's really 579 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: important to look At job through the lens of the 580 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: covenants that were in place at the, time because a 581 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: lot of times people will look at that and, think 582 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: what happened To job could happen to, me and it 583 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: couldn't because the only covenants That job had that were 584 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 2: in place at the time were The covenant Of adam 585 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: and The covenant Of. Noah because he was before he 586 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: was either a contemporary Of abraham or he was Before, 587 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: abraham one of the, two but either, way there was 588 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: no covenant that he was. Under he wasn't A, jew 589 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: So god Still satan was the god of this, world 590 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: and there were no provisions For god to take care Of. 591 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 2: Job that's really important for helping to understand what's going 592 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: on in that. Story So i'll go into that a 593 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: little more on that next.
