1 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: Full disclosure, ladies and gentlemen, I filmed some of these segments. 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: You know what evergreen is. It means content that you 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: can utilize at any time in any news cycle. The 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: Bible is evergreen. For instance, you could teach this Bible. 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: It's like, it's always amazing to me. I can go 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: to the radio and I listened to Chuck Swindle. I 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: don't even know these guds are still alive. I listened 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: to d James Kennedy. I could listen to the Word 9 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: of God preached under the anointing by a man of 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: God who's called and that word is alive. The story 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: of Joseph or Daniel, all of it translates into lessons 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: that are now because they're spiritual truths that transcend time. 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: That's why this book has a twenty two percent increase 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: in sales right now, called the Bible, you can knock 15 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: at all you want. Jordan Peterson has a great illustration. 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: I ask my team, my brilliant tech team back behind 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: the wall here to do this for me. I get 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: this visual of Jordan Peterson where he shows the Bible 19 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: and he has for the first send you know, the 20 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: two thousand years of recorded biblical history. I'm put in 21 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: a book here really was papyrus and scrolls originally, and 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: from the beginning of the recorded writings of the Old 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: Testament all the way to the last writing around you know, 24 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: seventy or so or eighty a d. Probably around seventy 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: eight y or so with the Book of Revelation. And 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: what Peterson shows is that if you take all the 27 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: books of the Bible, you know, sixty six of those 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: books right, that there's an arc that has these. He 29 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: calls it. It's like hyperlinks. He says, the hyperlinks between these. 30 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: In other words, bam, the prophetic hyperlink. It could only 31 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: be a divine intelligence that could have over fifty thousand 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: hyperlinks between time periods. For instance, you've got a prophet 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: like Zechariah over here, who's prophesying five hundred and twenty BC, 34 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: and he says that Jesus is going to return to 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: a specific hyperlink boom location, and it's going to be 36 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: at the Mount of Olives, and this will be the 37 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: location where he returns. Meanwhile, here's the hyperlink. In the 38 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Book of Acts, it's written that the disciples are in 39 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: the Gospels, it's written, rather the disciples watching Jesus as 40 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: sind in a cloud to Heaven from the Mount of Olives, 41 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: and he goes up in a cloud out of their sight. 42 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: And his last words were, you know where all powers 43 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: given it to me? Going, you know, in heaven and 44 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: on earth, go there for and teach all nations. He 45 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: blesses them and his sins into the cloud. And they're 46 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: staring like I guess I think he's going to come 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: back any minute or what. And two angels are standing. 48 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: They're dressed like normal, you know, tourists actually, And it 49 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: says two men were there, but we know they're angels 50 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: because of what they say. They say, you men of Galilee, 51 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: why do you keep staring up into heaven? This same 52 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Jesus who you have seen go up into heaven shall 53 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: come boom in like manner as you've seen him go, 54 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: meaning he is going to descend. Five point twenty BC. 55 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: The prophet gave the exact GPS location of where Jesus 56 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: would go up and where he would come back. So 57 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the nature of the Bible is a divine book, is 58 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: a fascinating study, and I can give you numerous examples 59 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: of it. As an author named Chuck Missler, who the 60 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: Book of Esther, for instance, was written and around the 61 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: same period of time, and and Esther is written, and 62 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: they they almost and when the councils were coming together 63 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: to consider what books to include in the sixty six books, 64 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean the Book of Enoch was not put in. 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: Enoch is quoted, and so there's so they have a 66 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: lot of other texts they had to determine are these 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: inspired scripture or are they just inspired by men but 68 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: not necessarily flawless. The Book of Estra was almost rejected, 69 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: and it was almost rejected because God's name isn't mentioned 70 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: once God's gods, it's kind and there's and the argument was, well, 71 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: it's it's a tremendous piece of history about Estra and 72 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: Mordecai and how the Jews were saved from annihilation in Persia. 73 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: While the first expedition of the Jews went down to 74 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: go rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, Hayman rises up to 75 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: annihilate all the Jews that remained behind. And it's it's 76 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: an important story. Out of it, you have you have 77 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: feasts in Israel and that are that are celebrated. But 78 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: it took almost computer analysis later on to reveal the acrostics, 79 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: and that is that embedded within the book is the 80 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: name of Yahweh and Elohem. And God's name is embedded 81 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: in the book like code. The first sentence of every 82 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: other word down there in the first chapter is the 83 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: name of God hidden in the text. And certain sentences 84 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: read forward or read backwards, actually reveal sentences. And so 85 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: you start to look. And Misler did this whole analysis 86 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: of all the codes that are in the Bible. All 87 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: that to say, this extraordinary hyperlink book deals with the 88 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: the intelligence of God, a extraterrestrial intelligence speaking to finite man, 89 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: so that whatever you read now actually can link back. 90 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: So in the margins of the Bible, for instance, my 91 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: Bible's falling apart here, this one, all these texts that 92 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: are in there in the middle, these are all hyperlinks. 93 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: It's like this goes to this verse. This goes to 94 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: this verse when the provin Zechariah again prophesies and says, 95 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: they will look upon him who they have pierced, and 96 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,119 Speaker 1: they shall mourn, meaning in the last days, Israel shall 97 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: be rescued from its final destruction. When all nations surround 98 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: it and go down to descend there Israel itself will 99 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: be delivered. A third shall go through the fire. There'll 100 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: be devastation. But that God himself, Jesus comes down and 101 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: interrupts the annihilation of Israel and Jerusalem, and himself deals 102 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: with the Antichrist and the military forces that are arrayed there. 103 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: And you say, well, that's kind of fantastical, thinking, yeah, 104 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: but that's but the Bible is remarkable, and that it 105 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: is so specific. It refers to looking upon him whom 106 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: they have pierced, Written by a guy who was in 107 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Israel five hundred years before. Five hundred and fifty years before, 108 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: Rome was executing people by crucifixion, piercing their hands and feet. 109 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: The manner of execution was in common nomenclature. When the 110 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: prophet said, they'll look upon him whom they have pierced. 111 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: And there again the prophet's prophesied that not a bone 112 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: of his shall be broken. And indeed, when they came 113 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: to Jesus and he was already dead on the cross, 114 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: they went to break the legs of all three of 115 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: the criminals, because if you break the legs, you can 116 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: no longer push up upon your legs, and while you're 117 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: struggling for breath, every time you push up on your 118 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: pierced feet to get a gulp of air. Then you 119 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: drop down an exhaustion. Well, if you break the legs, 120 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: you can no longer even push yourself up. You asphyxiate. 121 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: But they came to Jesus and that he's already dead, 122 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: so they didn't break his legs. They took a spear 123 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: and plunged it into his ribbed cage, right into the heart, 124 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: where the remainder of the blood in the water that 125 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: was in him congealed in the heart came pouring out. 126 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: And so there again the Bible says, and this is 127 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: to fulfill the hyperlink, going back all the way to 128 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: the Psalms and all the way back to the prophets, 129 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: that not one bone of his shall be broken. They 130 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: didn't expire, They didn't expire him. By God had to 131 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: do that. How could the Bible do that? Well, we 132 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: tap into an attribute of God in the hyperlink, which 133 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: is called fort knowledge, meaning that the omniscience of God, 134 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: stepping outside of time, can see the entire arrangement of events, 135 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: the sequence of events, the choices that human beings will make, 136 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: and that God oversees sovereignly in what is happening. So 137 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: that His will can be done in spite of the 138 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: fallen will of men or the malice of the devil. 139 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: And so how do you you know? I don't know 140 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: what Satan was thinking when he rebelled initially, Why would 141 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: he even think he could succeed. I think that remember this, 142 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: when the angels in their pre state here before this 143 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: history starts, when they fell, they had never seen this 144 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: side of God. They never saw a whole panoply of 145 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: the aspects of God, justice, judgment, wrath, the militant side 146 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: of God was never revealed because they had never seen it. 147 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: And I think there was an assumption that was made. 148 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: Lucifer thought that he could succeed in a rebellion and 149 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: establish his own domain. And the theory is, though it's speculative, 150 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: but it's the best that theologians come come up with, 151 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: is that he had he had awareness as one of 152 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: the top three archangels in heaven was Michael, Lucifer, and Gabriel, 153 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: and that each of them had a certain awareness. Though 154 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: they have angelic perception, they could not have all knowledge 155 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: their finite but they understood that God had a new 156 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: order of creation coming, and they could see that God's 157 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: plan for that new creation, which would be Adam, would 158 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: be greater than them, and that there'd be a new 159 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: species made that was actually going to be is when 160 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: they got a glimpse of it. Somehow this is going 161 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: to be brought into the very level of the Godhead. 162 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: It's going to be exalted above us. And that was 163 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: enough to push Lucifer into the conception of the idea 164 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: that why would I be subservient to another order of creation? 165 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: I am the sum total at the peak of the 166 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: hierarchy of angelic hosts. I'm the number one angel. The 167 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: last thing I want is to serve some new species. 168 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: And so that was the beginning of the decoupling division 169 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: started in heaven. And if you study how communism actually 170 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: works or how it operates, you'll see that it works 171 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: through subversion, through propagandizing, and through turning people against people. 172 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: And in the end, Jesus warns that fathers will turn 173 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: against children, children against parents, that the state will become 174 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: the new God, and that people will betray one another. 175 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: And in the midst of all this betrayal, many will 176 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: be offended, and that offense will cause them to even 177 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: depart from the agape or the love of God, and 178 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: their hearts will turn hard. It's a ferocious period of 179 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: time that is warned about. But there's always a way 180 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: of escape because the sovereignty of God and the foreknoledge 181 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: of God team up, and the fore knowledge of God 182 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen, and the sovereignty of God 183 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: comes over what's going to happen, so that there's a 184 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: way of escape made. And there's always a way of 185 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: escape for you. I don't care what situation you're in 186 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: right now, what dilemma you're in, there is a way 187 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: God has made a way to be able to exit 188 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: out of that trap that you're in. The very word 189 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: tribulation flips this as it is in the Greek is 190 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: a constrained place where you're narrowly trapped. But God will 191 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: make a way even through the tribulation. And we'll come 192 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: back in a moment. I want to talk to you 193 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: about that, all right. We're talking about the evergreen content, 194 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: which means that what I'm speaking to you now, regardless 195 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: of what's going on in world affairs, this is relevant, 196 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: timeless truth that will apply to your situation. I was 197 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: talking about the fall of Lucifer and the problem of 198 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: sin in the universe. Why would a good God, a 199 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: loving God, allow bad things to happen. That's that's the 200 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: philosophic stumbling block that man falls over all the time 201 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: when he starts his journey towards God. And of course 202 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: the answer to that is philosophically that it only can 203 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: mean that God, who is ultimately good and ultimately pure 204 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: and ultimately all powerful, would only allow something to happen 205 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: if there was a greater good that would come out 206 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: of that thing that is happening. So God will take 207 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: that adversity and out of it creates something even greater. 208 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: And that's and so in the in the calculus of 209 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: the Trinity, when man was put on the earth, they 210 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: knew he would fall. They knew their perfect creation would fall. 211 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: They could have created man without the faculty of freedom 212 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: of choice. They could have created like an AI bot 213 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't think for itself. It just is kind of 214 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: like robotic. And but there's no there's no satisfaction in 215 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: the in the Godhead, in a relationship that doesn't have 216 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: your own freedom of will and freedom of choice involved. 217 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: If you had somebody that was programmed or hypnotized to 218 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: love you, it isn't the same as though they voluntarily 219 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: see you, adore you, and choose even at this, even 220 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: at the price of pain, to stay faithful to you. 221 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: There's it's an exalted virtue. It is a it is 222 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: a higher principle of beauty, elegance, and righteousness. To see 223 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: man made in the image of God, with the faculty 224 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: of choice, and then the ability to fail in that choice, 225 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: or the ability to deny oneself to do what the 226 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Father wants. And so the great argument against that whole 227 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: premise that why would a good God allowed terrible things 228 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: to happen? Is Jesus himself. He came as the physical 229 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: manifestation of the Father. He was seeing me as seeing 230 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: the Father. If you want to know what God looks like, 231 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: what he asks of what he thinks, watch this And 232 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: then everywhere Jesus went and everything he said, I said, 233 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: I say what the Father tells me. I do what 234 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: the Father shows me to do. If you've seen me, 235 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: you've seen the Father. He's revealing the invisible Godhead and 236 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: the sacrifice of Jesus. He's in gasimone and he says, Father, 237 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: if there be a way out of this, take this cup, 238 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: take this trial, take this cup. He's going to drink 239 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: the cup of sin. He's going to become sin for mankind. 240 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: He will become the lightning rod that takes the full 241 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: wrath of God that is against you, and a boom 242 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: it'll hit him instead. And he says, if it's possible, 243 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: take this from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine 244 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: be done. I'm here as man in the place of men. 245 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm here to obey you, Father. If this is what 246 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: you want, then I'll do it. And so Jesus had 247 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: no way. He was locked in that path where the 248 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: only way he could go would be to utilize his 249 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: authority as the second person of the Trinity to say 250 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: that's it. I'm done with this species. I'm fed up 251 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: with them. Now they're coming to kill me after all 252 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: I've done for him. That's it. And he said, I 253 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: could right now call for twelve legions of angels, eighty 254 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: two thousand angels. It's all I need. One angel alone 255 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: wiped out one hundred thousand Assyrians in the Old Testament 256 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: when Elisha was ministering eighty two thousand. Will deal with 257 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: this little group right here. He said, I could call 258 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: for twelve legions, but that isn't what the Father wants, 259 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: I will obey, and in his obedience. He did it 260 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: for what reason? He did it because it's the only 261 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: way you could be redeemed. You see, if he hadn't 262 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: shed his blood and died for mankind, the mankind dies 263 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: and its sins. But you're created as an immortal being 264 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: wrapped up in an earth suit, and so you leave 265 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: your body and your eternal existence. We determine by whether 266 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: or not you have a knowledge of that, and this 267 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: is eternal life, that they may know thee the only 268 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: true God, in Jesus Christ. You have said to meet Jesus, 269 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: to encounter Jesus, who is available right now to come 270 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: into your life. That experience of encountering Jesus is the 271 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: encounter that causes your spirit to be regenerated. Something does 272 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: happen in the in the unseen substance of your inner man, 273 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: that living soul that you've got that goes out of 274 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: your body when you die. You're a spirit being, and 275 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: something happens in the core of that. It's called the 276 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: new birth. It's a change of nature at the very 277 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: core of your personality. The very fall of atom is 278 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: undone and the nature and Dna of Jesus comes in. 279 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: Now you have to work it out because you got 280 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: a whole body and mind. This program to go a 281 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: certain way, and you have to bring in an alignment. 282 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: And the Word of God is part of the way 283 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: which you find out how to align things so that 284 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: you can operate with a new heart, a new spirit, 285 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: and walk with God in a new nature. And then 286 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: your promise that to be absent from the body, to 287 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: slip out of your earth to a sudden accident, sudden death, 288 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: is to be present with the Lord. Paul said as 289 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: he was facing prison. He was in prison, facing death. 290 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: He said, it's far better for me to go, But 291 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: I'm determined that as far as my will is concerned, 292 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm not submitting myself to exit. I'll stay for your sake, 293 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: but it's better for me to go, for to be 294 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: absent from this physical body is to be in the 295 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: presence of the Lord. Now, I'm saying all that because 296 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: the argument for wide God allows bad things to happen 297 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: can only be answered when you see that God allowed 298 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: his own son, yeay, the son being the son of God, 299 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: God himself allowed himself to go through the betrayal. The torture, 300 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: the execution and the death an innocent man, the ultimate 301 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: injustice in the universe, decide killing your very creator. He 302 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: allowed himself to die because in doing so, going into 303 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: the earth and riose a the end of the third Day, 304 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: as the Prophet's prophesied in the hyperlink text in over 305 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: eleven hundred places regarding the coming of the Messiah's suffering, 306 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: servanthood and his ultimate exultation, he knew a greater good 307 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: would come out of that. The only reason why the 308 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: rationalization is Jesus is the example that tells us whatever 309 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: we don't understand about the mystery of suffering, the fact 310 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: that Jesus himself is there and experience what he did 311 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: tells us that he has not removed from our condition. 312 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: He is not unsympathetic with what it's like to be human. 313 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: He can therefore sympathize with you because he knows what 314 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: it's like to be tempted, to be tested, to be stressed, 315 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: to be persecuted in misunderstood, to be oppressed, to feel powerless. 316 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: At the same time, he lived a flawless life which 317 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: allowed him to be the perfect substitute for you. Because 318 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: if you believe on him, then, and the word to 319 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: believe on to be counted righteous in the New Testament 320 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: is an interesting words. It's an accounting word. It's a 321 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: word from accounting. It literally means that God does the 322 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: arithmeti and says he died for you so that if 323 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: you'll receive Him into your heart be born again, then 324 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: it's no longer you that has to be judged, because 325 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: your judgment was already paid for. I was in a 326 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: restaurant recently. It's always a blessing when it happens. I 327 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: was with a fellow there and I get a notice 328 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: from the waitress, your bill has been paid, And I 329 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: thought it was the guy I was with. I says, 330 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: somebody likes you here. And then if you said no, 331 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: it was you. Some guy watches you on TV or 332 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: something and he saw you were here. And so it 333 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: would be a crime for me to be charged for 334 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: the meal somebody else already paid for. You got that. 335 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: It would be a crime for God to charge you 336 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: with judgment and sin when it's already been paid for 337 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: and the only thing you have to do is to 338 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: receive it. Now. I could have said to the lady, 339 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: for I get it. I pay my own bills around 340 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: here and tear up that thing. I don't want anybody 341 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: else paying my bill, pay my own price. But you see, 342 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: the wages of sin is death, and the ultimate wage 343 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: of death is separation from your creator. And that's what 344 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: hell is, outer darkness, the place of separation from light. 345 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: So obviously I said thank you. I was I was 346 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: flattered that it was me instead of the other guys. 347 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: The guy's a big business guy. Figures somebody knew who 348 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: he was. But the point is, the redemption has already 349 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: been paid. Why am I taking time on this? Because 350 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: sometimes we need to break down. The sovereignty of God 351 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: will work over even the evil that is happening. And 352 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: when we're watching in our country right now, Uh, the 353 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: important thing is that I watch, I watch us get 354 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: hooked into these dialogues whether and strength and what the 355 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: enemy seeks to do. It's like the communist strategy or 356 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: a divorce strategy, is to plant seeds of offense of 357 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: division and then to create fault lines and rage and 358 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: anger and divisions. You see it between Elon Musk and 359 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Why why I would Elon who who invested 360 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: so much in that relationship? Uh? And and in friendship 361 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: with a little X there, you know, on his head 362 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: there in the Oval office. What could possibly cause him 363 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: to suddenly become a sworn enemy to Donald Trump? I 364 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: promise you, I promise you that the world will look 365 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: at it and say, oh, the Epstein files, Oh the 366 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: Doge thing, Oh the big beautiful bill. Oh the way 367 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: that the the you know, the electric vehicles didn't get 368 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: their subsidies, or oh the way that he wasn't you know, 369 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: his Nassau guy wasn't put in the posis. Oh, that's true. 370 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: There was a fence after a fence after a fence 371 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: that that Elon had to deal with. Not being a 372 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: man with a spiritual core on the inside of him, 373 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: he turned against Trump and said, oh, yeah, well how 374 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: about this. I'll drop this bomb on you and he'll 375 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: all to produce division. And I don't want. I don't want. 376 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 1: I don't want to be weirdly political. But you know 377 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: what the Position Party does. They just thrill fold them 378 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: and say, let them go at it. This is good because, 379 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, we have a whole political 380 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: party on the left that is only interested in the 381 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: will to power and them having their agenda, and they 382 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: don't care if America goes down in ashes, so long 383 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: as they are on top and so go you guys 384 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: fight it out. Meanwhile, you got two guys that are 385 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: trying to save the country becoming adversarial against each other 386 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: and then going against each other. It's a tragedy. But 387 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: I say it to Christians. I said, on a show 388 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: like this where you're hearing news cycles and then on Sunday, 389 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: you know, if you catch this program on a Sunday, 390 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: they were trying to I'm trying to integrate it into 391 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: the Bible. What I'm trying to say is without the 392 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: sustained intercession of the Body of Christ, taking his position 393 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: and praying prayers that God can answer, not praying dumb 394 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: prayers of indictiveness, beat them, judge them, do this, those 395 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: prayers hit the ceiling. You don't go anywhere but praying 396 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: the way that Jesus prayed, loving your enemies, even realizing 397 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: they know not what they do. It's one thing to 398 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: be able to say that is evil behaviors, the other 399 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: thing to hate the person who's doing it. You're not 400 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: allowed to do that because in Christianity you actually have 401 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: to love your enemy because they're under the control of 402 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: something that in their head is exercising a logic that 403 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: motivates them to kill you, thinking they're doing God's service. 404 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: That's what Jesus said, Here's the reality. Our prayers are 405 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: the only thing that restrains the darkness. And so Father, 406 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: we pray for peace upon America and then unity in 407 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: the company of those that are called and raised up 408 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: to save this country. We bind the spirit of division 409 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: and hatred and destruction, and pray for a ceiling of 410 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: the breach by the power of your Holy Spirit, for 411 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: the sake of this country and the work it's called 412 00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: to do. Act Father, and heal in Jesus' name. Well, 413 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, in a previous first session that I did 414 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: in my recording for this in the studio, we talked 415 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: about how the Bible is the first hyperlinked book that 416 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: it covers to sixteen hundred years worth of chronicles of writing, 417 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: two thousand years worth of literature, and yet the links 418 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: that exist from book to book to book reveal that 419 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: there is a divine oversight or an extraterrestrial extra celestial 420 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: intelligence that has overseeing the composition of the book. The 421 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: prophets who prophesied in the Old Testament, the Bible says 422 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: often didn't even know what it was they prophesied about. 423 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: But then the things that happen in the New Testament 424 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: become directly linked to the in depth detail prophecies of 425 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: the Old Testament. The likelihood that you would see something 426 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: like that happen, statistically is the equivalent of going to 427 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: a junkyard and blowing it up and having all the 428 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: parts come back in the symbol of Boeing seven forty seven. 429 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating book. And that's the reason why is 430 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: people start to read the book, they discover a mysterious 431 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: thing happens, the book starts reading them. It's a living 432 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: book and if you approach it with sincerity of heart, 433 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: it will talk to you, and it will speak back 434 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: to you. And so we're talking about the problem of evil, 435 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: and especially in the last days, we're told that there's 436 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: going to become a compression, an increase of darkness working. 437 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: But I want to cover a principle about what God 438 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: does as that takes place. Go to Genesis, the very 439 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: first book in the Bible. It opens with this inspired 440 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, text opens with these words. In the beginning, 441 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: God created the heavens, and the Earth. So God himself 442 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: is the agency. There's your big Bang theory that they 443 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: realized as they were coming to the understanding of the 444 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: universe that all the universe and its various manifestations all 445 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: kind of come out of an original entity, some kind 446 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: of energy that existed. But something had to exist in 447 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: order for that to exist. And so then at some 448 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: point boom, an explosion happens in the universe, begins to form, 449 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: space becomes filled with planetary objects, and so even science 450 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: goes back to there's a poom, an original bang. Well, 451 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to share where the bang is. The bang 452 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: is in the beginning, God creative, God spoke. What we'll 453 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: find is that the word that comes out of God's 454 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: mouth has creative power. That God speaks things into being. 455 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: If I want to pick up this cup over here, 456 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: I reach my hand out and raps it. If God 457 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: wants to reach into the universe do something, he speaks 458 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: and the thing happens. The agency of the hand of 459 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: God is the utterance of God. In the beginning, God 460 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: creates Boom, He speaks, and I'll show you where that is. 461 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: Later on, he speaks the universe in who existence Boom, 462 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: The Big Bang happens with an explosion of life coming 463 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: out of the utterance of God. Then in verse two 464 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: it says the earth was without form and void, and 465 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: darkness was on the face of the deep, and the 466 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 467 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: It's believed by many scholars that we don't have we 468 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: have the serpent show up in the third fourth chapter 469 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: here of Genesis, a cunning creature, a beautiful creature, seductively 470 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: slithering into the garden and whispering lies into Eave's ear, 471 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: who then gets Adam to go along with her, and 472 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: then they rebel against God. But we don't have the 473 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: fall of Lucifer. We now the origin of Lucifer in Genesis. 474 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: You know why, It's believed that between verse one and 475 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: verse two is when Lucifer fell. And so you see, God, 476 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: whenever God speaks, whenever God creates, doesn't create chaos. He 477 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: creates the end from the beginning. For instance, Iver, your 478 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: hand is withered like this in the synagogue in Jerusalem, 479 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: and everybody's wondering, you know, what's Jesus going to do? 480 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: Will he heal on the Sabbath? And the Jewish people 481 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: are all fixated and weirdly on trying to catch him 482 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: breaking one of their laws. And Jesus tells the man 483 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: to stand up, and he challenges the group that's there. 484 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: He says, is it good to do? Is it fair 485 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: to do good on the Sabbath or evil? If a 486 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: mule gets caught in a ditch, is it good to 487 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: bring it out of the ditch or leave it in 488 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: the ditch to die on the Sabbath? And they're all 489 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: stone cold staring at him. Jesus's Bible says, got angry 490 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: at them because of their hardness of heart. He was 491 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: trying to show them that he's going to do something 492 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: good on the Sabbath. And so he says, all right, 493 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: this man right here, stand up. They're all staring at him. Anyway, 494 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: he's conspicuous on the front road. Stretch forth your hand 495 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: the guy, and suddenly it's completely whole and functional. He's amazed, 496 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: and everybody whoa And then the pharisees what it's all 497 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: we have to see? And they got up and went out, 498 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: and they talked about how they have to kill him 499 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: because obviously he's got some demonic magic working with him. 500 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: He's breaking the law and making us look wrong. We're 501 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: trying to protect the integrity of the Torah and our laws. 502 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: I Meanwhile, the guy's free, and he's dancing around and 503 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: join Jesus. When God speaks, he speaks order out of 504 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: what is destroyed. Here's the question. If God always shows 505 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: up and what he does is create something beautiful, the 506 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: end product is always created by him first, it's perfect. 507 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: Then how did this mass of earth become void and 508 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: dark and without form? The Hebrew language there is even 509 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: more interesting. The word for without form and void is 510 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: tohu vabohu. So in the Hebrew you would say the 511 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: situation is tohovalboho, meaning it's an absolute message, a chaos, 512 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: it's destroyed. What happened was Lucifer rebelled between the first 513 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: chapter and the first verse of the second verse, and 514 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: when that happened, boom, there was a cosmic expulsion of 515 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: Lucifer and his rebellious angels out of heaven. The Bible 516 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: refers in Isaiah to Lucifer being cast down, to him 517 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: being Jesus said, I'd beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 518 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: And so evidently there's this cosmic conflict that took place 519 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: some even believe that the craters moved, that surfaced around 520 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 1: the moon or in some way a result of the 521 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: splattering of that cosmic conflict. Maybe maybe not. But the 522 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is, between verse one and verse two, 523 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: something happened with the order of creation and then the chaos. 524 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: And so God hovers over the tohuvaboho, He hovers over 525 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: the chaos of your life. He hovers over the chaos 526 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: of our nation. He hovers, and the spirit of God 527 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: broods almost like a medic, on the accident scene. And 528 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: then God said, now God will begin the creation process again. 529 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: And every time he speaks, he does us speak chaos 530 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: and darkness. That's why we know something happened between those 531 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: two verses. He speaks light and light is. And God 532 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: saw the light that it was good. He divided the 533 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: light from the darkness. And God called the light day, 534 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: and the darkness he called night. So the evening in 535 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: the morning with the first day. Then God said, let 536 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: there be a ferment in the midst of the waters, 537 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: and let it divide the words. So now the waters 538 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: are covering the earth. Now ground starts to show up, 539 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: and then God says, oh, that looks good. And then 540 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: he says, Now he divides the waters that are under 541 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: the heavens gathered in one place, and so the dry 542 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: land appears. And then he calls forth the grass and 543 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: the herb and seeds for various vegetations that are going 544 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: to make beautiful. And he's going to build a parrot. 545 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: So he's going to plant a garden. And he starts 546 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: planting his global garden, speaking and forth, and and every 547 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: time God speaks to the substance. He speaks to the 548 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: cosmos to create the light, and he speaks to the 549 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: earth to produce the vegetation. And then and then, and 550 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: then God says, he goes, all right, we're going to 551 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: let the water stand, and let's keep on going here, 552 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: and let the earth bring forth the living creatures. And boom, 553 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: out of the earth start to come forth the living 554 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: creatures that will creep every beast in the field, every 555 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: species of animal, every species of creation. And then God, 556 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: it comes time to make man. He doesn't speak to 557 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: the earth, out of which the vegetation will come, around 558 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: the earth out of which the animals will come, or 559 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: to the celestial cosmos, out at which the stars will form. 560 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: He speaks to himself, because He's going to make a 561 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: creation in his own image. So God says, let us 562 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: make man according to our likes, and let them have 563 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: dominion over the sea, and the birds of the air, 564 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: and the cattle and everything is on the ground, and 565 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: everything that creeps in the ground. And so God created 566 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: man in his own image. He forms him perfectly out 567 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: of the clay in the ground to form this beautiful, 568 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: artistic thing with all of its intricacies and it's interdependent parts. 569 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: And then the Bible says something rather interesting. It says 570 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: that the Lord God verse seven, chapter two, form Man 571 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: out of the dust of the ground and breathe into 572 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a 573 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: living soul. Now, so the breath of God forms the spirit, man, 574 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: the soul. The physical bodies like a clay object comes about, 575 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: animal kingdom, move around, but doesn't have consciousness, doesn't have 576 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 1: that level of consciousness that constitutes being in the order 577 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: of God, the ability to both think, to imagine, to recall, 578 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: to understand. And so man is made in the image 579 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: of God by the breath of God breathed into him. 580 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: He's put in the garden, and the man and woman 581 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: who God made were put there, and God put them 582 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: in the garden in order to cultivate it, because man 583 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: is called to have dominion over the earth, so he 584 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: will cultivate A culture comes out of that word cult, 585 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: which has to do with curating and working with the 586 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: substance of something like the earth to create the cultivation 587 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: of the garden. And that is when the serpent God 588 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: by the way, the animals are brought to Adam, and 589 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: God lets Adam name them, which is kind of interesting 590 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: because he's going to have dominion over them, so he's 591 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: given the authority to name them. And I personally believe 592 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: that as the creatures were brought you could see it 593 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: out of the ground. God formed every beast verse nineteen, 594 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam 595 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam 596 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: called each living creature was its name. And I would 597 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: say that in that creative moment, Adam infused not just 598 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: a name, but he put the r in the lion, 599 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: and he put the leap in the gazelle, and he 600 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 1: put the playfulness in the chimpanzee. The disposition that characterized 601 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: the species was launched out of the utterance of man 602 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: who was given dominion over the earth, just just a little. 603 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: It's an interesting insight that man's dominion was such that 604 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: he gave to the animal kingdom, its order, its name, 605 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,479 Speaker 1: and it's its personality, so to speak. And the Lord 606 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: God caused a deep sleep to fall on atam, and 607 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: out of the side he took a rib and formed 608 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: to help meet that was eve. He didn't go to 609 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: the dirt and speak and breathe in because woman and 610 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: man are going to be of the same thing. They're 611 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: going to be made of the same substance. And so 612 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: the woman is made out of man, and out of 613 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: the rib, the woman is form, and the woman is 614 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: partaker of the same nature of life is the man. 615 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: The breath of God is in her too, and he 616 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: brings her to the man, and the two of them 617 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: are both together. And then the Bible says they were 618 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: both naked, and they had no sense of shame, because 619 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: they had no consciousness of embarrassment or good or evil, 620 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: and like the ultimate hippies living in the garden. But 621 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: this was paradise. And then the serpent comes in the 622 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: next chapter. We'll be right back. And now the serpent 623 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: is more cunning. The Bible says than any of the 624 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: beast which God had made. Now we're dealing with very 625 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: mystical language here in a way, because Lucifer somehow Satan 626 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: exiled and taken out of his rule over earth. Interesting 627 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: premise that scholars believe that from Isaiah and Ezekiel, we 628 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: see that Satan is referred to as the god of 629 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: this world, that as an angel, he had the original jurisdiction, 630 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: and so the earth actually existed, pre existed because the 631 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: tohu va boho means that there was a destruction or 632 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: an accident scene that happened. Well, we find out about Lucifer, 633 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: and this is that kind of curious. You don't get 634 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: this stuff taught all the time. Let's go there, if 635 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: you go to I'll give it to you for you 636 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: guys who don't have a Bible with you. Ezekiel, chapter 637 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: twenty eight, there's a description of Lucifer before the Fall, 638 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what it says. It says that 639 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 1: he was what's called Lucifer, which means the light bearer, 640 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: and in his wings were literally all manner of instruments 641 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: and timbrels. His body was literally studded with gems, and 642 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: jewels from top to bottom. He was the ultimately beautiful creature, 643 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: and his role was to direct the worship of all 644 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: the earth to the throne of God. And so in 645 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: the world that then was Lucifer. When the worship would 646 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: hit a certain crescendo of the Earth's inhabitants, that he 647 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: would suddenly glisten and all the lights that were in 648 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: him illuminated. And now you have this technic color display 649 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: of all this dazzling brilliance in the heavenies beaming humbly 650 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: the worship towards the very throne of Yahweh. And what 651 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: you have is the picture of Lucifer being steward over 652 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: the Earth system. Now that's when he hears of the 653 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: plan that the Father has to have a new crew 654 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: over the Earth that is going to be planted in 655 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: the Earth. And he understands that something new is going 656 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: to happen. And I'm not going to be the center, 657 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: the orchestrating conductor who for I'm going to be the 658 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: servant to them. That's what I was saying. Something happened 659 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: in the mind of this archangel. You were the seal 660 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: of perfection, full of wisdom, imperfect and beauty. You were 661 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: in Eden, the Garden of God. Oh wait a second, 662 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: we find out that Eden actually pre existed, That Eden, 663 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: the Garden of God was there before God put Adam 664 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: in it. And Lucifer literally was the light bearer or 665 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: the worship leader over the earth that then was, and 666 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: that he ruled from a position out of Eden. And 667 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: now Eden is about to be given to man. That's 668 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: why the devil hates you. The workmanship of your timbrels 669 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: and pipes was prepared for you on the day you 670 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: were created. In other words, you were built you. A 671 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: symphony was built into you, so that worship would come 672 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: forth from you would sound magnified. And the jewel studied beauty, 673 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: and the light would suddenly glow on the inside of him. 674 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: And it was a celestial star studied blue explosion of 675 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: adoration towards the throne, channeling the worship of earth to 676 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: the throne of God. And they were and you were 677 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: the anointed cherub who covers covers. Now we go back 678 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: to Genesis. Only got four minutes here, But I'm telling 679 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: you this was he rebuilt against Lord. And here's one 680 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: of the theories of the case is that Michael was 681 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: the Angel assigned to the Father, Gabriel assigned to the 682 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: Spirit of Kadash, the Holy Spirit, and Lucifer was the 683 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: servant of the Sun, which is why Jesus had responsibility 684 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: to come down and deal with Lucifer and break his 685 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: control off of mankind so that he has authority to 686 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: establish a new Heaven and a new Earth, and this 687 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: realm of second Heaven here that Lucifer now is back 688 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: operating would be cleansed. And what you're dealing with now 689 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: in history is the period when Heaven is coming back 690 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: and wrapping up history, and all of this area here 691 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: in the middle is under the pressure of shaking. As 692 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: it shakes, instability, fault lines, wars, tur turmoil, and the 693 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 1: reordering of systems takes place. So power gets concentrated in 694 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: an end time empire ten kings, a governing system, a beast, 695 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence controlling, and who can make war against that system. 696 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: And then as nations come to a convergence point in 697 00:42:54,719 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: Israel becomes the centerpiece of global hostility, the Islamic Caliphate. 698 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: It's forming the communist Chinese Party type thing Davos. As 699 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 1: these things linked together to create a new system of 700 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: commerce that crushes the independence, the sovereign nation state, and 701 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: the freedom of believers. Jesus says that the day will 702 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: come when they will all you'll be despised of all 703 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: nations talking about persecution globally other people that walk with yahweh. 704 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,640 Speaker 1: But you see what the story is all meticulously hyperlinked 705 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: and explain book, explaining book, going back and cracking the 706 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,919 Speaker 1: code and revealing things. And yet we're called to be optimistic, 707 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: you know what, because Jesus says that as he is 708 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: coming back, he's shaking everything that can be shaken, so 709 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 1: that only his unshakable kingdom will be the last thing standing. Last, 710 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: the last territory standing is going to be that which 711 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: is built upon his word, his will, and his revelation 712 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: to his people. So we come back here to the garden. 713 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: And now we see that the serpent comes to the garden. 714 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 1: Cunning is operating through the voice of Lucifer, and the 715 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: woman is told to look at the tree of knowledge 716 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: of good and evil that is there. And God said, 717 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: because man has to have the freedom of choice, I 718 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 1: said earlier. Without choice, you don't really have a relationship. 719 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 1: And man has given all the garden a tree of life, 720 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: and a tree of knowledge of good and evil, and 721 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,400 Speaker 1: they're told, do not partake of that tree. All you 722 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: need to know is it's not my desire nor my 723 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: will that you ever do that. It's there, but you 724 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: must obey me with the option of not obeying. Obey 725 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: me and you'll be blessed. Well. What the devil does 726 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: is he shows the woman the tree that is good 727 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: for food. That refers to the three categories of sin. 728 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: You're going to see the human beings struggle with. It's 729 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,880 Speaker 1: good for food, it is pleasant to the eyes, and 730 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: it's desirable to make you wise. You'll have insight you 731 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: never had when you take that. For God's with holding 732 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: something from you. Girl, take it and she sees that 733 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: it is good for food. It'll taste good. That's the 734 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: lust of the flesh. It is a beautiful fruit. It's 735 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 1: very seductive, and its appearance, it's the lust of the eyes. 736 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: And then it will make you superior in your knowledge 737 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: the pride of life. Those are the three areas of 738 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: the New Testament, three temptations that will hit Jesus in 739 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 1: the wilderness forty days obeying God fasting meeting Lucifer. He'll 740 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: hit him boom with the offer of kingdoms boom, the 741 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: offer of turning stones to bread boom, the offer of 742 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 1: creating a public demonstration of his divine nature by jumping 743 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: off the pinnacle to the temple and having a soft 744 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: landing in front of thousands of gazers, the pride of light, 745 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh. 746 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 1: And Jesus said, with each one, quoting two chapters from Deuteronomy, 747 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: it is written, it is, it is written, and he 748 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: defeats Lucifer. Well, we come to this moment when man falls. 749 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: And then in verse eight, they hear the sound of 750 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: the Lord walk. It's interesting they hear a sound they 751 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,359 Speaker 1: don't like. There is a sound of God that came 752 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 1: into the garden. When God approaches, he is the Word, 753 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: and the Word has a sound, and the sound is approaching, 754 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: and they hide themselves, and so God has to shed blood. 755 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: He takes an animal, slays it covers their nakedness and 756 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,720 Speaker 1: gives them instructions that they have to leave the garden 757 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: of Eden. They have to leave the perfect place of preparation. 758 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: And that man is now no longer going to earn. 759 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 1: He's not going to find the earth cooperative. He's going 760 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: to have sweat and labor to till and wrestle with 761 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: that ground, and the woman is going to give birth. 762 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: They'll be pain and childbirth. But he promises, he says, Serpent, 763 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: I know you set them up for this. I'm going 764 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: to forgive them. I'm going to make a way for 765 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: them to be redeemed by the shedding of blood and 766 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: for you. She is going to have a child, and 767 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: one day that child is going to be my child. 768 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: And that child, who will be Jesus, will crush your 769 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 1: skull and end your rain over earth, and you will 770 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 1: inflict on him a bruise to his heel. He'll be 771 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: physically wounded for three days and on a third day 772 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: rise again, but he will crush your head with the 773 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:36,320 Speaker 1: heel that you injure. Wow, Hyperlink book a powerful story, 774 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 1: and I want you guys to know if this word 775 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: of God is alive and that God is actually in 776 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: the garden of your life creating a way for you 777 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,399 Speaker 1: to go forward. We'll be back again next week.
