00:02:52.960So the whole book of Hebrews is written to Jewish Christians
00:02:58.720that at the time just witnessed Jesus get crucified.
00:03:03.440And so now they are under Emperor Nero from 64 AD to 69 AD
00:03:10.220because the temple of Jerusalem fell in 70 AD.
00:03:14.960And so what they are witnessing right now is Emperor Nero now persecute these Jewish Christians, and they're getting their farmland taken away.
00:03:24.660They're getting persecuted for their faith.
00:03:26.860They are watching religious institutions fall apart, and they're actually witnessing death.
00:03:31.880So they're being martyred for their faith, and there is the writer of Hebrew, which doesn't have a definitive source regardless of what people say about scholars say this, scholars say this.
00:03:42.300It's like unless the Bible says it, then it doesn't really matter.
00:03:44.960So the first word that we have really unpacked is just God, because that is the first word
00:03:53.620And chapter one, at least we got through the first three verses, we talked about last time
00:04:00.280of the Father was affirming the identity of the Son.
00:04:03.940And so to those Jewish Christians, they were wondering if the work of Jesus was enough.
00:04:10.560So that's what we're going to actually talk about throughout the entire book of Hebrews.
00:04:13.800But the whole first passage that we talked about was the deity and the person of Jesus Christ and how he was fully God and he was fully God, he was fully man, and the work is fully finished.
00:04:25.560So that is just the first three verses, and we could do a quick skim through that.
00:04:29.480And I guess I'll read New American Standard just so that way, if there is any interpretation, it's already done.
00:04:36.400but it says God after he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets in many portions and in
00:04:41.180many ways in these last days has spoken to us in his son whom he appointed heir of all things
00:04:46.340through whom he also made the world and he is the radiance of his glory and the exact
00:04:51.280representation of his nature and upholds all things by the word of his power when he made
00:04:55.680purification of sins he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high so that is the text
00:05:00.600which we pulled apart last week, and the whole point was to push the revelation to these Jewish
00:05:12.200Christians that Jesus is God, and the important thing is that Jesus is now our high priest,
00:05:20.380and what we're actually going to see is under the order of Melchizedek that he has given us a new
00:05:25.860and better covenant that's jeremiah 31 ezekiel 36 whenever we are in this covenant because
00:05:31.600jesus's blood was perfect and it was now put on the mercy seat we now have purification of sins
00:05:37.820i like that you pointed out that it was in jeremiah and ezekiel as well though because
00:05:41.700there's some things that'll happen that like no this was said ahead of time like if the writer
00:05:45.920of the hebrews comes along and says hey we're under a new covenant they would be like okay
00:05:49.240well show us in the scripture and you go okay no problem let's go look at ezekiel let's go look at
00:05:53.300jeremiah let's look at these passages where god says he's going to have a new covenant with us
00:05:56.740he's going to put his spirit within us let's look at those passages and then and then we know that
00:06:01.500right because i feel like there's a comparison to that today where people say well the gifts of the
00:06:05.840holy spirit have come to an end right and we say okay no problem just go to the scripture and let's
00:06:10.120see where the scripture says that the gifts came to an end at the end of the first century because
00:06:13.640it's a lot of people's view and so if you can't go to the scripture to do that it makes it a little
00:06:17.300wonky but that's not what the new covenant is the new covenant was told about in the old covenant
00:06:21.860That's right. Yeah. And at the beginning, it even says that he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets, many portions and many ways.
00:06:28.720And in the last days, he's spoken to us through his son.
00:06:30.920So what we did was we actually unpacked the beginning text and we showed how in Isaiah, Isaiah 41, 4, 42, 8, 44, 6 and 48, 12.
00:06:40.160It actually talks about Yahweh's direct claim.
00:06:43.980And he's saying that I am the first and I am the last.
00:06:46.360I am the beginning and the end and I will share my glory with no one else.
00:06:50.580that is yahweh's direct claim and then if we go to revelation um and i the only one let me just
00:06:56.480actually go there go ahead and say the scripture and i'll pull it up it's i can't remember off the
00:07:00.960top of my head um revelation 117 is that right sorry y'all this is a newer bible so all the
00:07:09.940pages are sticky together um but oh you got it up we want to make that full screen there yeah so
00:07:18.520like here um when i saw him i fell at his feet like a dead man he placed his right hand on me
00:07:23.560saying do not be afraid i am the first and the last and then if we go all the way to the back
00:07:27.360that's another one that i mean directly correlating it right so people have that
00:07:31.100question when regarding the not just the divinity of christ but is christ the same as the father
00:07:37.080right i guess it's kind of the trinity question but that's another one that's real clear if you
00:07:41.300draw that correlation uh i am the first and the last well not only that but if you could pull up
00:07:46.380revelation 22 13 this one encompasses everything that yahweh was saying in the book of isaiah
00:07:51.900and he is he is just fully saying i am the alpha that make it the first and last in the beginning
00:07:55.820and the end and if yahweh is saying in isaiah 40 and isaiah 41 4 42 8 whatever if he is saying that
00:08:02.940um i will share my glory especially isaiah 42 8 i think that one says specifically that i will
00:08:07.980share my glory with no one else but yeah he's making these direct claims that i'm the first
00:08:12.780and i in the last it is showing that in these first four first four verses it says that if you
00:08:19.260miss jesus you miss everything the book of hebrews and we talked about last time was like the way that
00:08:23.900you view jesus is going to be the lens in which you interpret the bible meaning if you believe
00:08:28.620that he is a resurrected savior seated at the right hand of the father in heaven and that he
00:08:32.860has made atonement for your sins you're going to walk in to the promises that he has for his people
00:08:37.740but if you believe that he was just a prophet of course it's not going to have any effect because
00:08:40.940because it has to be mixed with faith.
00:13:04.980But since I know I'm jumping around a lot, but the whole, the whole book of Hebrews is
00:13:10.680just so rich in its content that it all is just saying the same thing over and over again,
00:13:16.120because it cannot stress how perfect the work and how fulfilled the work actually was.
00:13:19.900But in Hebrews chapter 10, verse 7, no, actually verse 5, it says, therefore, when he comes into the world, he says, sacrifice and offering you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me.
00:13:34.200So Philippians 2, 7, it goes back to saying that Jesus took on the form of a bondservant.
00:13:39.780He did not empty himself of his deity.
00:13:41.620He simply added flesh to the deity that he already was.
00:13:44.580We talked about that Jesus Christ is not a different God.
00:13:48.500So whenever he took on the form of the bond servant, he actually says here, you prepared a body before me, which means his existence predated his incarnation and that the very incarnation was submission to the father's will.
00:14:09.280But in Acts, if we look at Acts 13, 32 and 33, it says this, says, and we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers.
00:14:18.040God hath fulfilled the same unto us, their children, and that he has raised up Jesus again.
00:14:23.120We talk about how God raised Jesus from the dead.
00:14:27.180That's what it says in Romans as well, that you must confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead.
00:14:33.540God hath fulfilled the same unto us, their children, and that he hath raised up Jesus again, as it is also written in the second psalm.
00:14:45.900The psalms were because they were songs.
00:14:47.360But anyway, so in Acts, they're quoting Psalms 2, I think it's 2-7, raised up Jesus again, as it is also written in the second Psalm, thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
00:14:59.140So the writer of Acts, which is Luke, he ties all this together saying, God hath fulfilled the same unto us, their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again, as it is also written in the second Psalm, thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
00:15:15.360So when he raised Jesus from the dead, he's saying that's the context of that verse.
00:24:05.600And since Buddha did it and Jesus did it and a number of other historical religious figures throughout different Eastern religions have achieved it, you too can achieve it.
00:24:14.920And it's like, so whatever your thing is, if you're a new ager, if you're into the psychedelics movement, if you're into aliens, if you're into the deep occulted ideas of, and I would say that's where you get the ascended master thing as well, through these mystery schools.
00:24:32.480So it's, you know, Freemasonry, but like the OTO, much more extreme ones, Freemasonry in very many ways.
00:24:39.340We talked to somebody recently from Italy.
00:24:45.140But overseas, it's a totally different animal.
00:24:48.240But they believe that all of this is allegorical for something that mankind can achieve.
00:24:55.520You know, Jacob's Ladder turns into rungs of enlightenment so that you can achieve a certain state.
00:25:00.700It's really no different than, I would say, like the Buddhist idea of reaching nirvana.
00:25:05.660So, yeah, just just to, I guess, John's point, they they're going to do that.
00:25:10.280They're already doing that. They've been doing that for a long time.
00:25:12.700And it's probably a lot denser than even the ones that I've mentioned here.
00:25:16.800There's probably a vast array of Jesus's in Hebrews goes to great lengths to describe who this Jesus is.
00:25:23.460It's a timely book, man. I mean, it's always a timely book.
00:25:26.140But I suppose based on all of that that you just said, that's in the news now and stuff, it does matter who Jesus is.
00:25:31.540We've talked about it before. He's a Jewish man. Yeah.
00:25:33.660Like it's it matters who he is. Yeah. And what's crazy is how simple it's been made.
00:25:37.980Yeah. And it really has been made simple because through all these mystery schools, it's a convoluted ceremony, ritual based, intellectual achievement based.
00:25:48.560It works based. It's works based. Whereas, you know, the Christ of the Bible is actually very simple.
00:25:55.120And I, and I, it seems to me that that's because, um, we can't ever claim it had anything to do
00:25:59.680with us. Amen. Christianity is the only religion with an empty tomb. Come on somebody. Yeah,
00:26:04.780there you go. Right. And, uh, so I do want to, uh, since we're, since we're here, I do want to
00:26:12.260address that. Um, in Hebrews chapter 13, verse one, it says, let love of the brethren continue
00:26:18.200or verse two, do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by this, some have entertained
00:26:23.480angels without knowing it. Um, and this is, this is my, um, speculation rabbit hole that we can
00:26:30.620like toss around is if Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light, we have now been made known
00:26:38.500the mysteries of the angelic beings. And that if according to chapter one, verse 14, they are
00:26:44.120ministering spirits, their messengers, they render service for the sake of those who will inherit
00:26:48.460salvation, meaning that they have been given dominion. If we go to Job chapter one, that Satan
00:26:54.040comes to and fro from heaven to earth as he pleases. And if he masquerades himself as an
00:26:59.520angel of light, like Mormonism was founded on, then who's to say that demons can't do the same
00:27:06.940thing? If, if these, if we are not being like we were talking about, there is a doctrine of demons,
00:27:12.780those who forbid marriage and uh eating of meats yeah and being led astray um by saying preaching
00:27:22.100a religion where jesus did not come in the flesh which he definitely did say forbids marriage yeah
00:27:27.360can you reiterate that all that passage let me get it up yeah it's marriage that's wild well what do
00:27:32.600you mean that's like the catholic system that's because they don't want procreation of the local
00:27:36.540catholic system they don't get married those priests oh oh i understand what you're saying
00:27:40.980now okay i'm just saying that's one modern example but he's saying that like there's coming a day
00:27:45.380where they're going to forbid you to get married and and i think in the same verse it talks about
00:27:49.840there's certain meats you can't eat like because this topic comes up people like oh you eat pork
00:27:53.900you're living in sin obedience get some you know like people are like that scripture says like
00:27:58.820eat you know they're going to forbid certain meats okay let's go first timothy chapter four
00:28:04.040one through five. It says, but the spirit explicitly says that in later times, some will
00:28:11.560fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons by
00:28:15.940means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscious as with the branding iron men who
00:28:22.260forbid marriage and advocate as abstaining from foods, which God has created to be gratefully
00:28:27.400shared in those by who believe and know the truth for everything created by God is good and nothing
00:28:32.900is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude for it is sanctified by means of the word of god
00:28:38.300and prayer so you can eat anything you want is what that passage very clearly says it's interesting
00:28:43.740i i think about that through like a maybe like a governmental structure what does it look like
00:28:48.500you think a time could come where would that be specifically through a religious lens or would
00:28:53.740they all of the above i mean it says now the spirit speaks so the holy spirit's telling paul
00:28:58.900like communicating this to paul and paul's writing it to timothy saying the holy spirit
00:29:02.260speaks expressly that in the latter times which which could potentially uh be it's definitely now
00:29:08.500but it's really any time since christ yeah yeah uh then the latter times some shall depart from
00:29:14.420the faith so this is heavy bro so this is specifically people who were part of the faith
00:29:19.140it says that they will in verse one they will depart from the faith giving heed to seducing
00:29:24.020spirits so spirits that come in and seduce you right so you can argue for it and you can prove
00:29:28.900that you're right but you've been seduced right giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of
00:29:34.020demons doctrines of devils speaking lies and hypocrisy so check their life right like jesus
00:29:39.300says examine their fruit they're speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a
00:29:44.660hot iron you've met people like that bro they don't have a conscience anymore having their
00:29:48.340conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry they say oh yeah man certain people can't
00:29:54.020get married like good luck what could go wrong there like what do you think is going to happen
00:29:58.500and commanding to abstain from meats, from food, certain foods, which God has created to be
00:30:04.260received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. So if you believe and know
00:30:08.960the truth, you're eating whatever you want or whatever you want. Why? Because every creature
00:30:12.960of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving. That's a real
00:30:19.500problem for those people who say, yeah, for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
00:30:25.220you know that's why people pray for their food and to sanctify it uh or to bless your food is
00:30:30.940to thank god for it like like even sometimes like maybe you're in a maybe you're in a rush or
00:30:35.740whatever like i don't think there's a lot of times that i food goes in my mouth that i don't at least
00:30:39.860like even to myself just like thank you lord you know i was thinking about that the other day i was
00:30:43.920like we always pray for food we never pray for our drinks for all of it man but no i think it's
00:30:50.760I think it's more, it also has to do with procreation.
00:30:54.400You know, the people in the church of God
00:30:56.020is consistently and continually growing.
00:34:55.080We know what is true whenever we are in our words or in the word
00:35:00.600And that is what the book of Hebrews is pointing us to, is that the Old Testament was a shadow of the New Testament and the substance of Jesus.
00:35:11.180We talked about last show in John 1, verse 17, how the law was given to us through Moses, but grace and truth are realized through Jesus Christ.
00:35:21.520That word realized in the Greek is a genito, which means to become incarnate.
00:35:25.760So whenever grace and truth are realized in the full person of Jesus Christ, he's always been the same God.
00:35:31.820The same God who said stone in anyone and anything that touches my holy mountain is the same God who said turn the other cheek.
00:35:37.580The difference is that now Jesus has given us the Holy Spirit to allow us to walk in the spirit so we don't gratify the desires of our flesh.
00:35:47.680And that is exactly what the enemy wants.
00:35:50.780He wants us changing the word to fit our lifestyle.
00:35:54.740But like I tell or say all the time, most of the time, people do not want the one true living God nowadays.
00:36:01.140They want a projection of their own heart.
00:36:02.640They want to be able to contain them in a way that supports their lifestyle without giving them any accountability.
00:36:11.780And that is really what pushes us away from the Word.
00:36:15.320And Jesus, yes, He pardons sin, and He covers over a multitude because He is love.
00:36:21.540and but don't get me wrong we cannot continue going on in our sin that's exactly what first
00:36:26.340john chapter three talks about is that the one that who has been made right with god who has
00:36:30.860been one with god does not continuously go on and sin not saying that you won't fall again
00:36:35.880but we have been we have put fighting against it yes and another point to what you're saying
00:36:40.720about the mangling of words and and specifically to that uh encounter between satan and jesus in
00:36:47.380the wilderness you like you're saying satan's saying it is written and but jesus continues to
00:36:52.540come back with but it is also written that's right and i think that's really where we have to get at
00:36:56.860like that really is the context even for the straight bible show is like unpacking any given
00:37:00.800passage with supporting references from the scripture i think like it's very easy for satan
00:37:06.820or demons or whoever to say it is written but you have to have enough grounding in the word of god
00:37:12.300to say but it is also written and to be able to balance these things i'm glad you said that you
00:37:16.520never said that before but that's the entire point of straight bible i think it's that like
00:37:21.000because we run up into that all the time where somebody says well look at this scripture and
00:37:25.380it's like well what about the other ones but it's also written yeah you have to you have to have
00:37:29.660this balance you have to have i mean that's how jesus did it it's not it's not really satan said
00:37:34.260it is written jesus said yeah it's also written this is our whole life is just balancing these
00:37:39.100things in the scripture like what do you do with these passages that even sometimes seem to
00:37:42.760contradict right but if you're not doing that and you're just trying to pull passages for what you
00:37:47.380want i think what you're alluding to is like people who create god in their image instead of
00:37:51.980god creating them in his image they're just making god whoever they want them to be then you can just
00:37:56.820pull passages and make it say whatever you want but that's why you have to have the bible in
00:38:00.340context not just like a passage or a book but the entirety of the bible in context that's what
00:38:05.320people are doing so going back to that idea of like preaching a different gospel of a different
00:38:09.000jesus uh people are doing that when they're decoupling the old testament from the new
00:38:12.760testament because they look at the old testament and they find it harsh to the extent because
00:38:16.760they're not reading it in context if you read the whole thing in context it's constantly pointing at
00:38:20.680jesus christ in the new testament so it's a it's a through line um but since they cannot square the
00:38:26.200god of the old testament who seems harsh in comparison to jesus christ the coming of christ
00:38:30.840and everything that he teaches they decouple it entirely they say that the god of the old
00:38:35.080old testament is in fact this is the deep coveted knowledge this is the secret that's hidden within
00:38:39.080the bible and this is like leaning on your own understanding but they'll go this is the demiurge
00:38:43.480this is the entity that imprisons us here this is not the same god that is god the father that
00:38:48.260jesus christ is talking about and it's like if you just read the entire thing with understand
00:38:53.000that jesus christ is the fulfillment of everything that the god of the old testament is talking about
00:38:57.100but without that you can start to like matt is saying pick and choose these different things
00:39:01.780individual passages, compare and contrast them and go, look, they're totally different. Therefore,
00:39:06.540the demiurge, therefore, you know, there is secret hidden knowledge that we can achieve if
00:39:12.000we just read between the lines and determine God of the Old Testament is, in fact, an imprisoning
00:39:18.180monster. Better live in the Word of God, man, to be able to get in between all that, man.
00:39:23.720And the one thing that we cannot separate is that the entire Bible is to point to the substance
00:39:30.080of Jesus Christ being God. And that is kind of where I want to throw us back in about the
00:39:37.160difference between Jesus and angels is if you go to Colossians chapter two, verse 18, it says,
00:39:43.960let no, or let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement
00:39:49.060and the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen inflated without cause his
00:39:55.180but by his fleshly mind um and there is this urge um also in galatians like i was reading earlier
00:40:03.500before we go too far past that i'll just if you go a couple verses before that says let no man
00:40:07.960therefore judge you and meet there's there's that again let no man judge you therefore and meet or
00:40:12.540in drink or in respect of a holiday or of the new moon or even of sabbath days that goes back to
00:40:17.680colossians 2 16 and 17 that's wild because i see people say that all the time on twitter
00:40:22.420they'll be like oh you're still doing the sabbath on you're doing no man judge you
00:40:28.060according to sabbath like it's the sabbath is i mean that's what paul's saying right there
00:40:31.520and here's why you already alluded to this which are a shadow of things to come but the body is
00:40:36.880of christ like all of this stuff was shadows pointing to christ that's right so because of
00:40:41.600that like yeah there was sabbath days that's pre-law like sabbath is pre-law it's not just
00:40:45.640in the law but but even that let no man judge you according to these things these are all types of
00:40:51.220christ that's right yeah and the the cool thing is that there is just this constant theme that
00:40:58.620jesus is the only source is supposed to be the only source of our worship of our daily cross
00:41:04.940carrying he's supposed to be the one that we are setting our our our hope and he is the author
00:41:10.400and finisher of our faith and we are to pursue him in all things and so going back to like what
00:41:16.540I was saying in Galatians chapter 1, verse 8, but even if we or an angel from heaven should
00:41:21.000preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed. The premise
00:41:25.320of all of this is the weight of the gospel. And the book of Hebrews is saying that it had to have
00:41:31.620been Jesus. Why? Because he is fully God and he's fully man. And it had to have been enough because
00:41:36.620he is saying that his blood is much better than bulls and goats, that he is the perfect high
00:41:42.080priest. He is the perfect king. He lives to make intercession for the believers. He is
00:41:46.080constantly fulfilling everything that it was because he is a eternal being that was not
00:41:51.820confined by a time limited moment, that it was an eternal being on the cross in one moment
00:41:57.020that satisfied all of creation in that one moment because of how perfect it was on the
00:42:35.400If we go to Luke chapter one, right before the Magnificat with Mary, Gabriel will come to Mary and he will say, behold, I am the archangel Gabriel and I stand in the presence of God.
00:45:45.620The transfiguration of Jesus in Romans 12, verse 2, where he says, do not conform to the patterns of this world.
00:45:50.780the transform and transfiguration same synonymous yeah metamorpho and is and you're saying that's
00:45:56.940what the father said back to peter though yeah he's saying like hey like what i was talking
00:46:01.260about with magnify it is we are broadening our perspective of jesus in this moment because we
00:46:06.940cannot make jesus bigger than that makes sense when we magnify some are put under a magnifying
00:46:11.340glass the thing doesn't change right it's just it's just us changing our view that's right and
00:46:15.340that's what that's what we're doing in this moment we're actually broadening our perspective on what
00:46:19.980God is saying, or God, the father is saying, God, the son, we can spend our life doing that.
00:46:24.760That's right. That's right. And, uh, so let all the angels of God worship him. And again,
00:46:30.940going back to, uh, Joe chapter one, verse six, where he calls them all the sons of God. Um,
00:46:37.100that is completely different to Jesus being the son of God. Uh, cause we, we know that he is the
00:46:43.480only begotten and verse seven and the angels, he says, who makes his angels wins and his minister
00:46:49.420is a flame of fire, but the son, he says, your throne, O God, is forever and ever. And the
00:46:54.340righteous scepter is the scepter of his kingdom. We know that righteousness and justice are the
00:46:59.360foundation of his throne. And at the right hand is where Jesus is sitting. And like I was saying
00:47:04.820last episode in Matthew 28, 18 through 19, then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in
00:47:10.920heaven on earth have been given to me. That's that right hand in position. Again, Jesus being at the
00:47:15.600right hand of God, meaning he is all of God's power. And we talked about that too. And going
00:47:20.520back to Luke chapter one, um, and Isaiah 40, 40 verse 12 or 41, 12, something like that,
00:47:27.060where he measures the universe with the span of his hand. And now Jesus, whenever Mary is looking
00:47:32.420at God and he, she's saying that, Hey, you have given me this promise of a son. Jesus is now the
00:47:36.720strength of God's arm. And the scepter is, is made in righteousness for his kingdom because it will
00:47:43.320last forever and the the premise of what i'm getting at is jesus is the only righteous one
00:47:51.560amen jesus is the only righteous one and i can't remember where in isaiah it says but it says like
00:47:59.060our righteous isaiah 43 i don't know maybe our righteousness is as filthy rags yeah it's like
00:48:04.320a minstrelous minstrelous cloth period blood he's like oh you're so righteous it's like period blood
00:48:09.480to me that's so crazy bro that's so crazy he's saying like hey any any form of accreditation
00:48:17.580that you think that you have that could inherit any good favor with me your way to the kingdom
00:48:24.120of heaven any love that i can give you i view it as minstress rags smells like pennies that's
00:48:29.980crazy that is wild man it's actually insane all right let me see what else i got so
00:48:39.380we know where did i stop at you want me to read the rest of the chapter i think we were at uh
00:48:44.220verse 10 or 9 verse 9 i'll pick up a 9 you you have loved righteousness and hated iniquity
00:48:51.100therefore god even thy god hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows and
00:48:55.780thou lord in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of your
00:49:00.460hands they shall perish but you remain and they all shall wax old as does the garment and as a
00:49:06.920vesture shall they'll fold them up and they shall be changed but you are the same and your years
00:49:11.920shall not fail but to which of the angels said he at any time sit on thy right hand until i make
00:49:17.040your enemies thy footstool are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for
00:49:22.060them who shall be heirs of salvation so this is just layers of delineation like who christ is
00:49:28.460and if you think the angels are even close you're wrong about yeah better than angels better than
00:49:33.460that's what the writer of hebrews is doing man he even gets into moses this is like you said laying
00:49:37.620the groundwork for the lens that you're going to look at the rest of hebrews through okay that's
00:49:41.140gonna be it and it's fair to look at the the groundwork for how you're going to look at
00:49:45.140everything that you're reading at this point yeah yeah yeah jesus is totally separate jesus crushes
00:49:50.020harder than he's not comparable to an angel that's right and if we go to um mark chapter 14
00:49:56.180verses 62 through 63 um this is whenever jesus is brought before uh he's so fast
00:50:07.860he's on it dude and jesus said i am and actually go up one more 61 through 63 uh but he kept
00:50:15.980silent and did not answer again the high priest was questioning him and saying to him are you
00:50:20.080the christ the son of the blessed one and jesus said i am and you shall see the son of man sitting
00:50:25.140at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven, tearing his clothes. The high
00:50:29.700priest said, what further need do we have of witnesses? So tearing clothes and throwing ashes
00:50:34.420on your head was a form of lament, um, in that moment. Cause he's essentially saying that what
00:50:39.080Jesus just said was blasphemy. But what Jesus just said was, um, that I am statement in verse 62,
00:50:45.480if you translate that in a Greek and or Hebrew, um, it is to, um, it is a go in me, which is the
00:50:53.820exact uh translation that yahweh used whenever moses said whom should i tell him send me he
00:51:00.600says i am that i am that is the exact same thing and we also get that in um john 8 58 when he says
00:51:07.220he's fighting with the dudes they say you're not even 50 how do you say before abraham was i am
00:51:12.280yeah they knew what he was saying that's right so that's like whenever we read i am is going back
00:51:18.380to the bible translations it doesn't matter that was freaking dudes out what for him to say that
00:51:23.400yeah absolutely because they knew they knew it contextually weren't we just talking about uh
00:51:27.320writing letters in hebrews and people believing that it was canonical because it was in their
00:51:30.520original language who was i talking to about that yeah like they knew exactly that jesus was claiming
00:51:35.640to be god there in that moment i think they knew he was dude i think that's what that terrible is
00:51:39.800where he says uh you know man uh builds a builds a vineyard he puts everything there puts some
00:51:45.880servants over it then he sends his uh servants to go there he leases it out to them he sends
00:51:51.800some servants to go there to collect and they kill those servants then he sends some more they kill
00:51:56.520those servants then he kills then he sends his son and they say yo if we kill him we can keep
00:52:02.280everything and i think he was telling them bluntly he's saying only like they knew jesus was god but
00:52:08.360their only mindset was the temporary realm and they had this monopoly on god and they're not
00:52:13.320gonna let jesus come in and take that over and like take over their money and their control and
00:52:17.720their power even though they knew he was god they couldn't help him man they're like we got to take
00:52:22.200him out that's crazy i think they knew all along man i mean they they were in the scriptures well
00:52:27.360even the parable of like the um the owner of the vineyard yeah is if you go to isaiah chapter 5
00:52:35.260it is all about how he is that they would know that yahweh is the owner of the vineyard yeah
00:52:40.540and so jesus made so many claims but of course we in two thousand years from then we view it
00:52:47.740through a different lens sure of like maybe the word has changed and been polluted by man or
00:52:53.640yeah like um which one yeah isaiah chapter five that is the one about the the parable of the
00:53:03.440vineyard or not the parable of the vineyard yeah it is uh let me sing now for my well beloved a
00:53:09.300song of my beloved concerning concerning his vineyard my well-beloved had a vineyard on a
00:53:13.920fertile hill he dug it all around removed its stones and planted it with the choices vine and
00:53:18.440he built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat in it and he expected it
00:53:22.880to produce good grapes but it produced only worthless ones and now inhabitants of jerusalem
00:53:27.980and men of judah judge between me and my vineyard what more was there to do for my vineyard that i
00:53:33.360have not done in it why when i expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless
00:53:37.520ones and he's actually like rebuking israel right now saying like i have given you access to me and
00:53:45.760yet somehow you have completely turned away from me you have produced this sour wine that i did not
00:53:52.160i did not enable you guys to produce this is completely out of human heart let me just say
00:53:56.880this like because i picked up the nasb but this translation is another good example of like okay
00:54:03.120that makes a lot more sick because i've read this in the king james and it's like
00:54:06.560yeah yeah very poetic and like flowing but this is yeah you love the nasb now
00:54:12.240dude it's so good man i love this translation we actually talked about bible translations
00:54:22.160uh last episode too just about how there is word for word thought for thought and paraphrase which
00:54:28.200i don't recommend people going to paraphrase uh because then you're not getting the word of god
00:54:32.140you're getting somebody's commentary of the word of god um but word for word is there's like a uh
00:54:37.620it's like a graph or a dial where like the farthest left is the closest translation from
00:54:43.920the hebrew greek and aramaic to the english translation because you like we were talking
00:54:47.900about there is a um there is a a language barrier from greek and hebrew where like love means four
00:54:54.840different things in greek yeah then it does in over i love pizza i love my mom you know like
00:55:00.960stuff like that and so uh word for word is is what i always encourage people to get into
00:55:07.760whichever translation that is i'm gonna let the lord lead that um but that's that's what we were
00:55:12.040i was bringing that up to raven before and he was like so which one has pictures i would love the
00:55:16.740no we got action bible for my son uh that one has a lot of pictures they're really great pictures
00:55:20.660but yeah i um in closing closing what's happening i thought we just got started
00:55:33.920oh top's been like maneuvering to you telling you two o'clock it's two o'clock we're gonna have
00:55:37.960time dude all right we're gonna sit here for a half hour that's your funeral i mean your show
00:55:42.580faster rick will choke you out it's a celebration five minutes
00:55:46.160all right did you want to say anything to um people who say so so why is he referred to as
00:55:52.500the angel of the lord or do you think that when the angel of the lord shows up is that in fact
00:55:56.800jesus what's what's your take on that it depends on where um i i actually don't know fair i like
00:56:04.320that don't say that in front of top he hates that but yeah i don't know see like son of god son of
00:56:09.900man angel of the lord i don't i don't know for me i don't i don't know if i can even articulate it
00:56:15.260But it's just like he shows up as human of God, the son of God, as human of God.
00:56:21.660In other places, he shows up like, I don't know how you would say this, like as angel, like at like he's he's entering in and out of realms, which like an angel can do.
