1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Let us pray. He was in the world, and the 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: world was made by him, and the world knew him, 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: not John one ten. Father, it breaks my heart to 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: see how the enemy has distracted so many with the 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: foolishness of the world and blinded them from the truth. 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: They are unable to recognize what is right in front 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: of them. You walked among your people, teaching the wisdom 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: of God and revealing the power of love. You healed 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: the sick and delivered the demon possessed. You spoke a word, 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: and the elements obeyed. You multiplied fish to feed the 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: hungry crowds. You were right there in front of the multitudes, 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: and the world could not see the truth of who 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,319 Speaker 1: you were. If they had realized the truth, they never 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: would have crucified you. Satan has done a good job 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: of seducing the people and to pursue the false gods 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: of this world. He has put a lust for greed 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: and false enticements in front of them to burn their 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: eyes with lies. They cannot hear the still small voice 19 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: of love through the loud shouts of sin. You gave 20 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: life to each person and made them in your own image, 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: but they do not recognize the true source of their life. 22 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: Help them Father, to realize you are the only salvation. 23 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: It's not in money, power, possession, or relationships. It's in 24 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: you and your son Jesus Christ, the baby born to 25 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: save them. Without you, they will continue to live in darkness. 26 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: Help them God in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello to you around the world. 51 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you because we are headed 52 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: towards a very important season in the year, and that 53 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: is Resurrection Sunday. Now, personally, I don't like to call 54 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: it Easter. If you like to call it Easter, you know, 55 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: you know, whatever floats your boat. But I don't like 56 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: calling it Easter because Easter or the name Easter has 57 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: paganism in its roots. But I do celebrate Resurrection Sunday, 58 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: which is the celebration that commonly known as Easter, where 59 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: we celebrate Jesus getting up from the depth. One of 60 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: the first things I want to say about Resurrection Sunday, 61 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: because it's coming very fast, is that it is the 62 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, not just his death, 63 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: not just his burial, not just his crucifixion, but his resurrection. 64 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: And I think oftentimes Easter or Resurrection Sunday or whatever 65 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: you want to call it, can have a negative connotation 66 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: when we don't observe the Lord's resurrection. So that's just 67 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: my quick little usurp. But I'm not talking about the 68 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: resurrection of the Lord today. I want to talk to you, 69 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: guys from a very deep subject called the pre incarnate Christ. 70 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: Once again, the pre incarnate Christ. And I'm gonna make 71 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: this make sense to the moment, but I want to 72 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: read to you a scripture out of John chapter eight, 73 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: Versus forty eight to fifty nine. Once again, that's John 74 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: eight forty eight to fifty nine, all right, And it 75 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 2: reads the Jews answered him, are we not right in 76 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon? 77 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: Jesus answered, I do not have a demon. But I 78 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: honor my father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do 79 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks it, 80 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: and he is the judge. Truly, I say to you, 81 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. 82 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: The Jews said to him, Now we know that you 83 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: have a demon. Abraham died, as did the Prophets. Yet 84 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: you say, if anyone keeps my word, he will never 85 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: taste death. Are you greater than our father Abraham who 86 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: died and the Prophets who died? Who do you make 87 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 2: yourself out to be? Jesus answered, if I glorify myself, 88 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: my glory is nothing. If it is my father who 89 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: glorifies me, of whom you say he is our god. 90 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: But you have not known him. I know him. If 91 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: I were to say that I do not know him, 92 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: I would be a liar like you. But I do 93 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: know him, and I keep his word. Verse fifty six. 94 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: Your father Abraham rejoice that he would see my day. 95 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: He saw it and was glad. So the Jews said 96 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: to him, you are not yet fifty years old, and 97 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: how have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, truly, truly, 98 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: I say to you, before Abraham was I am. So 99 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: they picked up stones and to throw at him, But 100 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. So 101 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: once again today we're gonna be talking to you about 102 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: the pre incarnate Christ. Everyone who's never heard that phrase before, 103 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: I just want you to say it really fast, say 104 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: the pre incarnate Christ. What does it mean to be 105 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: pre incarnate? Well, let's break down this word for a moment. 106 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: Pre means to be something that is done before or 107 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: to happen before, and incarnate means to be placed into flesh. 108 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: It means to be brought into this world. I am incarnate. 109 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: You that are listening, You are incarnate. As long as 110 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: long as you have a body flesh and bone in blood, 111 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: and you are put in a body, and you are 112 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: a spirit and soul in a body, you are incarnate. 113 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: So that gives us a little better understanding of what 114 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: it means to be reincarnate. Now, the Christian does not 115 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: believe in reincarnation because the Bible says to be absent 116 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: from the body is to be present with the Lord. So, 117 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: in other words, we will not be placed in flesh 118 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: again except for in that great getting up morning when 119 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: we get our new bodies and we meet Him in 120 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: the air. According to Colossians, Corinthians, and Thessalonians, what the 121 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: New Testament testifies about the great coming back when Jesus 122 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: comes back for his spotless bride. Right, we're gonna get 123 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: our new bodies, but we don't believe in reincarnation because 124 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: reincarnateation suggests that we will receive another body in another life, 125 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: and that is not true. But to be pre incarnate 126 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: would point to the state of an individual before they 127 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: were given flesh. I want to submit this phrase to you, 128 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: or submit this principle to you. Jesus was active alive 129 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: during his flesh, but he also was active and alive 130 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: before his flesh. Now we must look at the scriptures 131 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: to understand this, and I wanted to read John eight 132 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: for a moment just to kind of bring your attention 133 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: to this, because Jesus gives us some powerful pre incarnate 134 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: principles about how he existed before his flesh in John 135 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: chapter eight. As a matter of fact, I love the 136 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: Book of John. The reason why I love the Book 137 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: of John, it actually is my favorite gospel out of 138 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: all four Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. John is 139 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: my favorite gospel because various gospels out of the four 140 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: present the Lord Uh in different ways, and John presents 141 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: Jesus as more than a man, but he presents Jesus 142 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: as God or as divinity or as deity. Uh. How 143 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: do I know that? Because when you look at the 144 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 2: other gospels, like for example, Matthew or Uh, it begins 145 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: with the genealogy of Jesus. So it goes all the 146 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: way back to Adam to Seth to following through Noah 147 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: to Abraham and and and all the way down the 148 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: line until we get to Rayhab. And we get Rahab 149 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: who gives birth to somebody else, and somebody else, and 150 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: rayhabs the great grandmother of of Jesse, and Jesse has David, 151 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: and David has Solomon, and and Bada bang by the women. 152 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: We go all the way down to the line of Joseph. 153 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: So we see the genealogy of Jesus and other gospels. 154 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: But when we get to John, we don't see genealogy 155 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: the way the other gospel presents it. As a matter 156 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: of fact, when we get to the Gospel of John, 157 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: John gives the genealogy of Jesus, just not from a 158 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 2: natural perspective. Let's look at this. John says, in the 159 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: beginning was the word. It's John one, and the word 160 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: was God, and the Word was with God. And it 161 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: says all these things about the Word. And we're gonna 162 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: get to that in a moment. But John begins the 163 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: origins of Christ not from a natural or a human perspective, 164 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: but from a divine perspective. Now, if we catch up 165 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: to John chapter eight, Jesus is revealing himself as God 166 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: to the Jews, and they're just having a hard time 167 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: perceiving who Jesus really is, so in they begin to 168 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: accuse him in verse forty eight of having a demon, 169 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: and he goes into this hole feel of how he 170 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: does not have a demon, and he's not a Samaritan. 171 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: But they dis honor him, and he doesn't seek his 172 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: own glory, but he but but but there is one 173 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: who seeks his glory and h he is the Judge. 174 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: And he goes on to talk about when they when 175 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: they answer him again, he says, he says, if I 176 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: glorify myself, my glory is nothing. Now, I want to 177 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: give you a principle before we get into this whole 178 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: thing about Jesus as pre incarnate. Uh, firstly, let's deal 179 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: with the fact that Jesus says something very very powerful. 180 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: He says that if I glorify myself, my glory is 181 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: nothing to you that are preachers. You that are apostles 182 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: and prophets and evangelists, teachers and singers and worship leaders 183 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: and musicians and ushers and anything in the household of faith. 184 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 2: You that are intercessors that love the Lord, any of 185 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: you that love the Lord. Jesus gives us a major 186 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: key to walking in the glory of God. He tells 187 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: us in John eight that that if he glorifies himself, 188 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: his glory is nothing. So in other words, if I 189 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 2: talk about myself, if I exalt myself, if I am 190 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: always pointing to myself, it is a sign that I 191 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: have no glory in my life, that there is no 192 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: manifestation in my life. But the ultimate sign of someone 193 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: who has glory in their life is if they glorify 194 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 2: or talk about somebody else. Let me give you a principle. 195 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: Who's ever glory you talk about shows up once again? Whomover, 196 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: who's ever whomever? I don't know, whoever's glory you talk about, 197 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: it shows up? So could it be? This is one 198 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: of the reasons why we can lok into the standard 199 00:12:52,360 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: American Christian Church and leave the same because everything in 200 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: this standard American church is self centered. I've said it, 201 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 2: and I won't take it back. If you walk into 202 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: the regular American church, everything is about you and me, beloved. 203 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: The worship is about us. The worship is all singing 204 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: about me, myself, my needs, everything going on with me, 205 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: all of that wonderful stuff. But we rarely hear songs 206 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 2: about the throne room. We rarely hear songs about the 207 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: presence of God. We rarely hear songs about God's beauty anymore. 208 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: New songs that are being written are so centered upon us, 209 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: our needs, our desires, our wants and our wishes, and 210 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: the rarely about God. The preaching in a lot of 211 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: churches has nothing to do with us. It has I mean, 212 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with God. It has all 213 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: to do with us. The sermons are about breakthrough, and 214 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: I appreciate that, and some of that stuff is necessary. 215 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: But what we have to understand is whoever you talk about, 216 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 2: their glory shows up. So could it be that our 217 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: singing's about us, Our preaching is about us, Our teaching 218 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: is about us, our motive is about us, our ambition 219 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: is about us. So therefore our glory shows up, and 220 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: our glory is nothing. But if we were to change 221 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: our glory, our glorying our glorifying, our attention, our teaching, 222 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: our preaching, our worship, our music, our lyrics, our songs, 223 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: to being once again about the Lord and being about 224 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: the Father, being about Jesus. Perhaps his glory will show 225 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: back up in the American church. Perhaps the reason why 226 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: people are not getting out of wheelchairs, and broken bones 227 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: aren't being healed commonly, and death ears aren't popping open. 228 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: Perhaps the reason why people are coming and depressed and 229 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: leaving the same with the de of depression, or leaving 230 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: the same bound by witchcraft, bound by addiction, bound by fornication, 231 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: bound by us, bound by whatever. Could it be that 232 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: we are glorying in ourselves. But if we were to 233 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 2: glory in God, his essence, his presence, his glory would 234 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: show up. So Jesus said, if I glory fie myself. 235 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: Thank you Jesus. My glory is nothing now. This is 236 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: Jesus is the son of God. But he did not 237 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: have access to his eternal glory when he was walking 238 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: on the earth in the days of his flesh. This 239 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: is why he looked at the Father, when Jesus, give 240 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: me the glory that we had before the world began. So, 241 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: in other words, when as long as Jesus was walking 242 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: in the earth, before he had died and resurrected, he 243 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: did not have access to the glory he had with 244 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: the Father in the very beginning. So everything that Jesus 245 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: did he did as a man, So as a man 246 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: empowerbuy the Holy Spirit. He said, if I glorify in myself, 247 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: my glory is nothing. This is powerful to me. So 248 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: now the marble tells us, uh that Jesus says something 249 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: very very interesting to the Jews. He says, he says, Uh, 250 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: if you keep my words, you will not taste death. 251 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: Now this was bothersome and a problem to everyone that 252 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: was Jewish at the time. You must understand the Jewish 253 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: mindset when it comes to greatness or significance. Uh. In 254 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: the Hebraic, especially the ancient he Breake mindset, but in 255 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: the Hebrake mindset in general. Uh, the thing that comes 256 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: first carries more weight, value, significance, authority, any of those things. Uh. 257 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: And so what Jesus was he was saying, listen, if 258 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 2: you keep my words, you will not taste death. And 259 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: what bothered the Jews about this is because Paul says this. 260 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: He says, the last enemy to be defeated is death itself. 261 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: The last thing to be defeated is death. And they're saying, 262 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: they're beginning to bring up Abraham and all the prophets, 263 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: and they were saying, listen, Abraham was great, Elijah was great, 264 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 2: Moses was great, Ezekiel was great, Isaiah was great. Yet 265 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: though after all that they accomplished, they had a wrestled 266 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: with death and they still died. So to say that 267 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: if I keep your words, I will not taste death 268 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: would be you saying Jesus that you have authority and 269 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: power over death. Now this is kind of bothersome to 270 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: those that are Jewish, because listen, you've come after Abraham, 271 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: our father, You've come after Elijah, you've come after Elisha. 272 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: So how in the world can you say that you 273 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: have authority over something that those whom we consider to 274 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: be greater than you have not yet been able to overcome. 275 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 2: Because remember, in the Jewish mindset, if you come first, 276 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: whatever the older thing is, carries greater weight, significant power, 277 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 2: and authority. It's even powerful because the Bible tells us 278 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 2: that Elisha had a double portion of eli Jah's spirit 279 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: and that Elisha did double the miracles minus one until 280 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 2: he raised that man from the different his bones, that 281 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 2: Eli Shah did double the double the miracles as Elijah. 282 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: But the Bible never said that Elijah Elisha was coming back. 283 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 2: It said eli Jah was coming back. When the prophet 284 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: saw Elisha coming with Elijah's mantle, who came first? They 285 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: didn't say, it's now the spirit of Elisha. Though Elisha 286 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: moved in something greater than Elijah, they said, it is 287 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: the spirit of Elijah that rest upon him. So, in 288 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: other words, Elijah, though did not have as many great works, 289 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: was still considered the greater prophet because he came first. Right, 290 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: So we have to understand in the Hebraic mindset, whatever 291 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 2: comes first has greater way and Authorlready, Joshua successfully brought 292 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: the children of Israel into the land of Canaan. But 293 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: if you ask the Hebrews, the greater one was Moses. 294 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: Moses didn't fulfill his assignment and Joshua had to take 295 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: over prematurely at that because of Moses's disobedience, he had 296 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 2: to take over. But yet, in the he Breaked mindset, 297 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 2: because Moses came first, elighten, because mostkan for it first, 298 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 2: he's greater than Joshua. So Jesus here is considered to 299 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: be less than all of these great prophets that came 300 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 2: before his flesh. And so now Jesus, he says to 301 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: the Jews, he said, he says, listen, I'm gonna go 302 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: down to verse fifty five. He says, but you have 303 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: not known him. I know him. If I were to 304 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: say that I do not know him, I would be 305 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: a liar like you. But I do know him, and 306 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he 307 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 2: would see my day. He saw it and was glad. 308 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: Verse thirty seven. So the Jews said to him, you 309 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham. 310 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: Now this perplexed the Jews and probably agitated them and 311 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: made them mad at Jesus, because now Jesus is saying, listen, 312 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: Abraham saw my day and it was glad. Jesus was 313 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: saying here when he said I have authority over death, 314 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: he was saying, I'm greater than Elijah. I'm greater than 315 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: Abraham because I have power over the thing that took 316 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: them out, death itself. And so now Jesus says that 317 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: Abraham saw my day and was glad. Now here is 318 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: the problem. If you look in the Torah or the 319 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: first five books of the Bible. If you look at 320 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: Genesis and look at the life of Abraham, you only 321 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: see messianic symbolism and not messianic prophecy. Once again, you 322 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 2: only see messianic symbolism and you don't see messianic prophecy. 323 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: We go to the book of Isaiah, we see messianic prophecy. 324 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: We go to Ezekiel, we see messianic prophecy. Daniel, all 325 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 2: of the books of the prophets we see messianic prophecy. 326 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: But when we look at Abraham's life in Genesis, which 327 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: Moses wrote, we don't see messianic prophecy. We only see 328 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 2: messianic symbolism. We see Abraham having to kill his promised 329 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: son and then God stopping him, and through that promised 330 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: son many sons were born. And that was the line 331 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: in which God chose for the Messiah to come through 332 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: and all those different things, which was a prophecy of 333 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: the Father choosing his only begotten son to have to 334 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: die so that many sons could come forth out of 335 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: that line. That Jesus is that line because God has 336 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: more than one son, He only has one begotten son. 337 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: Which is Christ Jesus. But the archangels of the Cherubim 338 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: and various other creatures in the Bible are referred to 339 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: as sons of God. They are found in Genesis six. 340 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: They're found in the Book of Job that the sons 341 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: of God presented themselves before the Lord. So God has 342 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: other sons. The Bible refers to in Matthew as Adam 343 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: as god son. So God has many sons, but only 344 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: one son. Hallelujah. I get excited sometimes could bring us 345 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: into glory, which was His begotten. So now we see 346 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: messianic symbolism, but not prophecy in Abraham's day. So as 347 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: we continue on that, they're confused, because how in the 348 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 2: world are you going to say that Abraham saw your day, Jesus, 349 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: when I can't look at anywhere in the Torah anywhere 350 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 2: in Genesis that proves that statement. Could it be that 351 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 2: Jesus was recalling an ancient memory glory to God when 352 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 2: he spoke to Abraham and showed Abraham his day wrapped 353 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 2: in flesh. Could Jesus be recalling a conversation that he 354 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 2: himself had with Abraham when Abraham was still alive, stating 355 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: hear me that he would wrap himself in flesh. But 356 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 2: it was off the record. It was something perhaps that 357 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: Moses did not record, because where in the scriptures do 358 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 2: we see God communicating to Abraham about the Messiah. Nowhere, 359 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the bulk of his communication 360 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: was about the promised land and a great people. That 361 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: was it just about. But nowhere do we see him 362 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 2: say that is gonna be a man named Jesus wrap 363 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: them in flesh. It's not even insinuated anywhere. So could 364 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: God have or could have Jesus before he was Jesus 365 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 2: been talking to a Abraham before he was wrapped in flesh. 366 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: We get a greater clue into this because they said, 367 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: you're not even fifty years old, and Jesus responds and says, 368 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 2: in verse fifty eight, Jesus said to them, truly, Julie, 369 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: I say to you, before Abraham was I am, and 370 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: if I will, says, they picked up stones to stone him, 371 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: but he hid. Now this is powerful to me because 372 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: when Jesus says, before Abraham was I am, Jesus is 373 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 2: playing with the Hebrew people's words. The Bible tells us 374 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: that he said before Abraham was Now the Greek word 375 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: here or was, is the Greek word general mind, and 376 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 2: general mind means to become, to come into existence, to began, 377 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 2: to be, to receive, to be given birth, to to 378 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 2: be generated, if you will, So Jesus was saying, before 379 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: Abraham was given birth to or came into existence, I am. Now. 380 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: The Greek word for I am is in me e, 381 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: I am I, and it means to exist and to 382 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: happen and to be present. So, in other words, what 383 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: Jesus was saying, before Abraham was born, I existed. He 384 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: was saying, he came out of the womb of a woman, 385 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: but I came out of eternity. I've always been. He 386 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: looked at those Jews right in the face and said, 387 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: I existed before I came out of Mary's wound, and 388 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: I existed before Abraham was ever even created. And he 389 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: uses the words I am, which was a play on 390 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: Exodus chapter three, verse fourteen. If we go back and 391 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 2: look at Exodus chapter three, verse fourteen, the Bible tells 392 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: us now that Moses turned aside to see a flaming 393 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: bush now in the desert where Jesus was, where Moses 394 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: was keeping jeth Throw's flocked his father in law. It 395 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: was not an uncommon thing to see a bush on fire. 396 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: It was not an uncommon thing. It was regular. It 397 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 2: happened all the time. But the significant thing was that 398 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: the bush was on fire and not consumed. This bush 399 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 2: was a picture of what it meant to be a 400 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: tree consumed by fire or a man. It was a 401 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: picture of how we will house the Holy Spirit and 402 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: the fire of God in our lives, yet not be consumed. 403 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: And so Moses said, this is a sign of the 404 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: wonder itself. This is talking about the unfeeling of the 405 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. Moses turns around and he sees what the 406 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 2: Bible says, is the Angel of the Lord. Now the 407 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 2: Hebrew work there for Angel the Lord are the two 408 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: words malach Jehovah, which means just messenger and Lord. Could 409 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 2: it be now not that this angel, this being speaks 410 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: out of the midst of the fiery bush and calls 411 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 2: Moses's name and says, take off your shoes, Moses, from 412 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 2: the ground that you were sending on this holy ground. 413 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: And we come up Exodus fourteen, and God has this 414 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 2: long conversation with moston about how He's gonna use him 415 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 2: and let my people go, and all that great stuff. 416 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: But the most becomes perplexed and responds and says, hey, 417 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: who do I say is sending me? And God responds saying, 418 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 2: or this being respond says, I am that I am now. 419 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: The Milach Jehovah is a very interesting being or the 420 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: Angel of the Lord's interesting being. In the scriptures. We 421 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: see him all throughout the Old Testament. He the Angel 422 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 2: of the Lord, is not a regular angel. He appeared 423 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: to Manoah and his wife, the mother and father of Samson. 424 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: He appeared to Gideon before Gideon became this great military 425 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 2: uh leader Uh. He appeared to Hagar in the wilderness 426 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 2: when Sarah dealt with her harshly when she was when 427 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: Hagar was pregnant with Ishmael. This Malach Jehovah appears many 428 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 2: times throughout the scripture, and every time he appears, he 429 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: begins to behave like God. He appears to Hagar and says, hey, 430 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: you're pregnant with Ishmael. He's gonna be a hairy rough man, 431 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: and I will increase his descendants. Hold on, how does 432 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: an angel have authority to increased descendants? He appears to 433 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: Manoah and his wife, the mother and father of Samson, 434 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: and uh Manoah says to the angel or to the being, 435 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: he says, what is your name? And the being responds, 436 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: why do you ask my name? Being? On account that 437 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: it's wonderful? Hold on, an angel's name is wonderful. That 438 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: does makes sense. 439 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 3: But Isaiah tells us this speaking about Jesus, and his 440 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: name shall be called wonderful counselor money, God, Prince of Peace, 441 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 3: everlasting Father, and to the increase of his government and peace, 442 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: there shall be no end. 443 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: But the angel referred to his name as wonderful. Hmm. 444 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: And we see the same thing appear to Moses, and 445 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:45,479 Speaker 2: he says, I am that I am. Hold On, I 446 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: am that I am. This word I am, and I 447 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: want to pull it up in my Bible because I 448 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: never want to get things wrong. This is an Exodus 449 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: chapter three, verse fourteen, And he says, is I am 450 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: who I am in the esv at least? And that 451 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: word I am in the Hebrew is heya or heya, 452 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: and hey ya means to become, to become, to pass, 453 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: and to exist. So in other words, this being's response 454 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: to is what is my name? Is what is your name? 455 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: Is I exist? This was the same person that looked 456 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: at them looked at the Jews in John chapter eight, 457 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: around verse forty nine or fifty around there, and says, 458 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: before Abraham was or created or born, I am so 459 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 2: what Jesus was saying to the Jews. I'm the one 460 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: who spoke to Moses in the fiery bush. I was there. 461 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 2: I'm the one who who who spoke to Abraham and 462 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 2: told him to depart from his place and gave him 463 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: all these instructions. I'm the one who visited Hagar in 464 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 2: the wilderness and increased her descendants. He was saying, I'm 465 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: the one who walked with Adam in the garden. Now 466 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: what am I talking about when I say that? Bible 467 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 2: says uh in John one, in the beginning was the word, 468 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 2: and war was with God, and war became flesh and 469 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 2: daughter among us, all that wonderful stuff. The word word 470 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: in the Greek is the word logos. Now there's this 471 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 2: thing in the prophetic camp where they say Rayma is 472 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: the spoken word of God and logo this is the 473 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: written word of God. But if you look at the 474 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 2: definition of logos, there actually is nowhere in the definition 475 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 2: of logos that says that it is the written Word 476 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 2: of God, because logos is not written. Logos is a person. 477 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 2: The word logos in the Greek means a word uttered 478 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 2: by a living voice. It embodies a concept or an idea. 479 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: It is the act of speaking. It is a speech. 480 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: And so the Bible says that in the beginning was 481 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: the word in the word was with God. Now we 482 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: know that John was talking about when he said the 483 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: word was talking about Jesus. Now, the Bible says that 484 00:33:52,120 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 2: Adam falls in Genesis, and he said, I heard the 485 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: voice of the Lord walking into the garden. How does 486 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 2: a voice walk? How does the voice walk? Well, let's 487 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 2: look at the Hebrew word for voice, the Hebrew word 488 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: for voice, And I'm told you I'm going to look 489 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 2: it up. I'm gonna I'm gonna show it to you 490 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: because I want you to see it. The the Hebrew 491 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:33,479 Speaker 2: word or voice is I want to pull it up whoa, 492 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 2: which means a speech or something spoken. So what John 493 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: was trying to communicate to us is that Jesus was 494 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: the one walking through the garden communing with Adam during 495 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: the day, ladies and gentlemen, I want to let you 496 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 2: know Jesus has a pre incarnate state.

Follow me on social media. I 506 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 2: love you. Remember Jesus was, and is and is to come. 507 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: He is the I Am God, bless you, soundstripe and 508 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 2: gentle mind. Means to become, to come into existence, to begin, 509 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: to be, to receive, to be given birth, to to 510 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 2: be generated, if you will. So Jesus was saying, before 511 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: Abraham was given birth to or came into existence, I am. Now. 512 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,439 Speaker 2: The Greek word for I am is in me e 513 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: I am I, and it means to exist and to 514 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 2: happen and to be present. So, in other words, what 515 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 2: Jesus was saying, before Abraham was born, I existed. He 516 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: was saying, he came out of the womb of a woman. 517 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: But I came out of eternity. I've always been. He 518 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 2: looked at those Jews right in the face and said, 519 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 2: I existed before I came out of Mary's wound, and 520 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 2: I existed before Abraham was ever even created. And he 521 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 2: uses the words I am, which was a play on 522 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: Exodus chapter three, verse fourteen. If we go back and 523 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 2: look at Exodus chapter three, verse fourteen, the Bible tells 524 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 2: us now that Moses turned aside to see a flaming 525 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 2: bush now in the desert where Jesus, where Moses was 526 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 2: keeping jeth Throw's flocked, his father in law. It was 527 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 2: not an uncommon thing to see a bush on fire. 528 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: It was not an uncommon thing. It was regular. It 529 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 2: happened all the time. But the significant thing was that 530 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: the bush was on fire and not consumed. This bush 531 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 2: was a picture of what it meant to be a 532 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 2: tree consumed by fire or a man. It was a 533 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 2: picture of how we will house the Holy Spirit and 534 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: the fire of God in our lives yet not be consumed. 535 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 2: And so Moses said, this is a sign of the 536 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: wonder itself. This is talking about the unfeeling of the 537 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 2: Holy ghost. Moses turns around and he sees what the 538 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 2: Bible says is the Angel of the Lord. Now the 539 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 2: Hebrew work there for Angel the Lord are the two 540 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 2: words Malach Jehovah, which means just messenger and Lord. Could 541 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 2: it be now this angel, this being speaks out of 542 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 2: the midst of the fiery bush and calls Moses's name 543 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 2: and says, take off your shoes, Moses, from the ground 544 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 2: that you were sending on this holy ground. And we 545 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 2: come up EXTENDUS fourteen. And God has this long conversation 546 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 2: with moston about how He's gonna use him and let 547 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: my people go and all that great stuff. But the 548 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 2: Most becomes perplexed and responds and says, hey, who do 549 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 2: I say is sending me? And God responds saying, or 550 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 2: this being respond says, I am that I am. Now 551 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 2: the Milach Jehovah is a very interesting being, or the 552 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 2: Angel of the Lord is very interesting being. In the scriptures. 553 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: We see him all throughout the Old Testament. The Angel 554 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 2: of the Lord is not a regular angel. He appeared to 555 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 2: Manoah and his wife, the mother and father of Sampson. 556 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 2: He appeared to Gideon before Gideon became this great military 557 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: Uh leader Uh. He appeared to Hagar in the wilderness 558 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 2: when Sarah dealt with her harshly when she was when 559 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 2: Hagar was pregnant with Ishmael. This malach Jehovah appears many 560 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 2: times throughout the scripture, and every time he appears, he 561 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 2: begins to behave like God. He appears to Hagar and says, hey, 562 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: you're pregnant with Ishmael. He's gonna be a hairy rough man, 563 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 2: and I will increase his descendants. Hold on, how does 564 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 2: an angel have authority to increased descendants? He appears to 565 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 2: Manoah and his wife, the mother and father of Samson, 566 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 2: and Manoah says to the angel or to the being, 567 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 2: he says, what is your name? And the being responds, 568 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: why do you ask my name? Being? On account that 569 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 2: it's wonderful. Hold On, an angel's name is wonderful, that 570 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 2: it makes sense. But Isaiah tells us this speaking about Jesus, 571 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 2: and his name shall be called Wonderful counselor money God, 572 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 2: Prince of peace, everlasting Father, and to the increase of 573 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 2: his government and peace there shall be no end. But 574 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 2: the angel referred to his name as wonderful Hm. And 575 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 2: we see the same thing appere to Moses, and he says, 576 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 2: I am that I am. Hold on, I am that 577 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 2: I am this word I am, and I want to 578 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: pull it up in my Bible because I never want 579 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: to get things wrong. This is an Exodus chapter three, 580 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 2: verse fourteen, and he says, because I am who I 581 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 2: am in the esv at least, and that word I 582 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 2: am in the Hebrew is heya or heya, and hey 583 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: ya means to become, to become, to pass, and to exist. So, 584 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 2: in other words, this being's response to is what is 585 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 2: my name? Is? What is your name? Is? I exist? 586 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 2: This was the same person that looked at them, looked 587 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 2: at the Jews in John chapter eight, around verse forty 588 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 2: nine or fifty around there, and says, before Abraham was 589 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 2: or created or born, I am so what Jesus was 590 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 2: saying to the Jews. I'm the one who spoke to 591 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 2: Moses in the fiery bush. I was there. I'm the 592 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 2: one who who who spoke to Abraham and told him 593 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 2: to depart from his place and gave him all these instructions. 594 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 2: I'm the one who visited Hagar in the wilderness and 595 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 2: increased her descendants. He was saying, I'm the one who 596 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 2: walked with Adam in the garden. Now what am I 597 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 2: talking about when I say that? Bible says, uh, in 598 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 2: John one, in the beginning was the Word, and the 599 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 2: war was with God, and war became flesh and daughter 600 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 2: among us, all that wonderful stuff. The word word in 601 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 2: the Greek is the word logos. Now there's this thing 602 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 2: in the prophetic camp where they say Rayma is the 603 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 2: spoken word of God and Logos is the written word 604 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 2: of God. But if you look at the definition of logos, Uh, 605 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 2: there actually is nowhere in the definition of logos that 606 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 2: says that it is the written word of God, because 607 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 2: logos is not written. Logos is a person. The word 608 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 2: logos in the Greek means a word uttered by a 609 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 2: living voice. It embodies a concept or an idea. It 610 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 2: is the act of speaking. It is a speech. And 611 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 2: so the Bible says that in the beginning was the word, 612 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 2: in the word was with God. Now we know that 613 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 2: John was talking about when he said the word was 614 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: talking about Jesus. Now the Bible says that Adam falls 615 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 2: in Genesis and he said, I heard the voice of 616 00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 2: the Lord walking into the garden. How does a voice 617 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 2: walk how does the voice walk. Well, let's look at 618 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 2: the Hebrew word for voice, the Hebrew word for voice, 619 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 2: and I'm told you I'm going to look it up. 620 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna show it to you because I 621 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 2: want you to see it. The the Hebrew word or 622 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 2: voice is I want to pull it up whoa, which 623 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 2: means a speech or something spoken. So what John was 624 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: trying to communicate to us is that Jesus was the 625 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 2: one walking through the garden communing with Adam during the day. 626 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, I want to let you know Jesus 627 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 2: has a pre incarnate state.
