00:02:02.820 to do like a uh like a sort of a crash you know a thousand foot overview what has happened so far
00:02:09.220 it's actually a good idea yeah we can we can do a quick recap um can we pray first yeah all right
00:02:16.020 let's do it awesome uh father in jesus name we're just here to talk about your word there is no
00:02:20.660 agenda there is no flash lord it is just straight bible and uh we pray that it would be that so in
00:02:26.660 our insufficiency and our inadequacy would you just be made perfect um in all things in spirit
00:02:32.020 and in truth lord we're here to worship you may nothing be added to or taken away but would you
00:02:36.100 reveal to us the spirits of or excuse me the the mystery of your spirit in this moment um through
00:02:42.100 the word holy spirit uh hide us behind your cross and and and help us where we uh where we fail we
00:02:48.020 We bless you, Lord, and thank you for your grace.
00:02:49.560 It is in Jesus' name we pray.
00:02:50.460 Amen.
00:02:51.000 Amen.
00:02:51.520 Amen.
00:02:51.960 All right.
00:02:52.960 So the whole book of Hebrews is written to Jewish Christians
00:02:58.720 that at the time just witnessed Jesus get crucified.
00:03:03.440 And so now they are under Emperor Nero from 64 AD to 69 AD
00:03:10.220 because the temple of Jerusalem fell in 70 AD.
00:03:14.960 And so what they are witnessing right now is Emperor Nero now persecute these Jewish Christians, and they're getting their farmland taken away.
00:03:24.660 They're getting persecuted for their faith.
00:03:26.860 They are watching religious institutions fall apart, and they're actually witnessing death.
00:03:31.880 So 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.
00:03:42.300 It's like unless the Bible says it, then it doesn't really matter.
00:03:44.960 So the first word that we have really unpacked is just God, because that is the first word
00:03:50.760 in the New American Standard version.
00:03:53.620 And chapter one, at least we got through the first three verses, we talked about last time
00:04:00.280 of the Father was affirming the identity of the Son.
00:04:03.940 And so to those Jewish Christians, they were wondering if the work of Jesus was enough.
00:04:10.560 So that's what we're going to actually talk about throughout the entire book of Hebrews.
00:04:13.800 But 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.
00:04:25.380 Okay.
00:04:25.560 So that is just the first three verses, and we could do a quick skim through that.
00:04:29.480 And I guess I'll read New American Standard just so that way, if there is any interpretation, it's already done.
00:04:36.400 but it says God after he spoke long ago to the fathers and the prophets in many portions and in
00:04:41.180 many ways in these last days has spoken to us in his son whom he appointed heir of all things
00:04:46.340 through whom he also made the world and he is the radiance of his glory and the exact
00:04:51.280 representation of his nature and upholds all things by the word of his power when he made
00:04:55.680 purification of sins he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high so that is the text
00:05:00.600 which we pulled apart last week, and the whole point was to push the revelation to these Jewish
00:05:12.200 Christians that Jesus is God, and the important thing is that Jesus is now our high priest,
00:05:20.380 and what we're actually going to see is under the order of Melchizedek that he has given us a new
00:05:25.860 and better covenant that's jeremiah 31 ezekiel 36 whenever we are in this covenant because
00:05:31.600 jesus's blood was perfect and it was now put on the mercy seat we now have purification of sins
00:05:37.820 i like that you pointed out that it was in jeremiah and ezekiel as well though because
00:05:41.700 there's some things that'll happen that like no this was said ahead of time like if the writer
00:05:45.920 of the hebrews comes along and says hey we're under a new covenant they would be like okay
00:05:49.240 well show us in the scripture and you go okay no problem let's go look at ezekiel let's go look at
00:05:53.300 jeremiah let's look at these passages where god says he's going to have a new covenant with us
00:05:56.740 he's going to put his spirit within us let's look at those passages and then and then we know that
00:06:01.500 right because i feel like there's a comparison to that today where people say well the gifts of the
00:06:05.840 holy spirit have come to an end right and we say okay no problem just go to the scripture and let's
00:06:10.120 see where the scripture says that the gifts came to an end at the end of the first century because
00:06:13.640 it'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
00:06:17.300 wonky but that's not what the new covenant is the new covenant was told about in the old covenant
00:06:21.860 That'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.
00:06:28.720 And in the last days, he's spoken to us through his son.
00:06:30.920 So 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.
00:06:40.160 It actually talks about Yahweh's direct claim.
00:06:43.980 And he's saying that I am the first and I am the last.
00:06:46.360 I am the beginning and the end and I will share my glory with no one else.
00:06:50.580 that is yahweh's direct claim and then if we go to revelation um and i the only one let me just
00:06:56.480 actually go there go ahead and say the scripture and i'll pull it up it's i can't remember off the
00:07:00.960 top of my head um revelation 117 is that right sorry y'all this is a newer bible so all the
00:07:09.940 pages are sticky together um but oh you got it up we want to make that full screen there yeah so
00:07:18.520 like here um when i saw him i fell at his feet like a dead man he placed his right hand on me
00:07:23.560 saying do not be afraid i am the first and the last and then if we go all the way to the back
00:07:27.360 that's another one that i mean directly correlating it right so people have that
00:07:31.100 question when regarding the not just the divinity of christ but is christ the same as the father
00:07:37.080 right i guess it's kind of the trinity question but that's another one that's real clear if you
00:07:41.300 draw that correlation uh i am the first and the last well not only that but if you could pull up
00:07:46.380 revelation 22 13 this one encompasses everything that yahweh was saying in the book of isaiah
00:07:51.900 and he is he is just fully saying i am the alpha that make it the first and last in the beginning
00:07:55.820 and the end and if yahweh is saying in isaiah 40 and isaiah 41 4 42 8 whatever if he is saying that
00:08:02.940 um i will share my glory especially isaiah 42 8 i think that one says specifically that i will
00:08:07.980 share my glory with no one else but yeah he's making these direct claims that i'm the first
00:08:12.780 and i in the last it is showing that in these first four first four verses it says that if you
00:08:19.260 miss jesus you miss everything the book of hebrews and we talked about last time was like the way that
00:08:23.900 you view jesus is going to be the lens in which you interpret the bible meaning if you believe
00:08:28.620 that he is a resurrected savior seated at the right hand of the father in heaven and that he
00:08:32.860 has made atonement for your sins you're going to walk in to the promises that he has for his people
00:08:37.740 but if you believe that he was just a prophet of course it's not going to have any effect because
00:08:40.940 because it has to be mixed with faith.
00:08:42.760 That's what Hebrews 4 talks about.
00:08:46.040 It's like the passage in the Gospels where he says,
00:08:48.720 well, who do men say that I am?
00:08:49.960 And they say, well, man, some people say John the Baptist,
00:08:52.300 some people say Elijah, some say Jeremiah.
00:08:54.720 But everybody's pretty convinced you're somebody back from the dead,
00:08:57.120 like you're otherworldly.
00:08:58.620 And he says, yeah, but who do you say that I am?
00:09:00.420 And that's like how you respond to that question
00:09:04.340 determines everything for your soul for all eternity,
00:09:08.680 for your life here and in the eternal realm.
00:09:10.940 all right the relation to jesus like that's it there's not there's not and am i understanding
00:09:15.860 this the right way so he's saying like god spoke to the prophets of old but then speaks to us like
00:09:21.960 he spoke to the prophets but through his son yeah so he spoke through the prophets right was what
00:09:27.240 he was saying unto the fathers by the prophets okay unto the fathers by the prophets so by the
00:09:32.120 by way of the prophets god spoke to the fathers and in that same way he speaks to us through his
00:09:37.580 son amen okay yeah because i can't remember the exact reference off the top of my head but he's
00:09:42.240 like before he does something he pronounces it to his prophets of old um meaning that like the
00:09:47.320 lord would reveal his plans whenever it moved forward i'll even look that up i think it's in
00:09:50.860 amos where it says he won't do anything except be um reveal it to his servants the prophets first
00:09:56.280 um yeah so um amos 3 7 uh the eternal lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants
00:10:07.080 the prophets, they are as spokespeople. So the Lord would reveal like he did in Jeremiah 31,
00:10:13.180 Ezekiel 36. He said, hey, I'm prophesying through my people of this new covenant that is coming.
00:10:18.480 And Colossians 2, 17 would say that the Old Testament is a shadow of things to come
00:10:23.180 while Jesus Christ is the substance. And that is the same thing in Hebrews chapter 10,
00:10:28.980 where it talks about the things that are alluding to a covenant, but it never gave us the power
00:10:34.000 over sin. The blood of Jesus, since it's perfect, going back to that, he's seated now at the right
00:10:40.260 hand of the majesty, or he's seated at the right hand of power, is in the Old Testament, the high
00:10:46.080 priest never was able to sit down because he was constantly making atonement and sacrifices, not
00:10:50.480 just for the people of Israel, but also for himself. So whenever he was going into the Holy
00:10:55.120 of Holies, he was never going in there to commune with God. He was going in there for penitence. He
00:10:58.860 was going over to make sacrifice and atonement for the bloodshed. So it was always a reminder
00:11:03.380 of their sinful state.
00:11:05.760 Now, Hebrews 10 also talks about that
00:11:08.640 since we have been brought close by the blood of the Lamb,
00:11:10.820 we can approach the throne with boldness.
00:11:12.580 Now that we have that boldness,
00:11:14.020 it is actually open to fellowship for relationship with God,
00:11:16.740 not just for continued repentance.
00:11:19.000 Yes, we should repent and turn away from our sinful nature,
00:11:21.280 but because of the blood of Jesus,
00:11:23.260 God has actually forgotten of our sinful past
00:11:25.940 and he looks at us under the blood.
00:11:27.820 So the power of the first four verses in Hebrew
00:11:30.880 is to show about he was fully God, fully man, and the work is fully fulfilled.
00:11:35.360 And if you miss Jesus through this one part,
00:11:37.860 the book of Hebrews isn't going to mean anything because Jesus is everything.
00:11:41.840 That's a solid recap from last week.
00:11:44.140 All right.
00:11:44.580 Well, let's get into it then.
00:11:46.480 Man.
00:11:46.700 And so from Psalm 19, 1 through 4 and Romans 1, 20,
00:11:52.940 we know that God exists in creation and you can look at creation
00:11:56.540 and you can tell that there is a creator and he exists.
00:11:59.560 But reading, why don't you actually read in King James this part?
00:12:04.140 What Hebrews 1, 4 through?
00:12:06.260 Yeah, we could do 4 through.
00:12:10.300 Let's read, bro.
00:12:11.080 Let's just do it all.
00:12:12.000 Yeah, you stop me at any point.
00:12:13.340 3-14.
00:12:13.840 Stop me at any point.
00:12:15.340 Being made so much better than the angels as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
00:12:21.500 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
00:12:26.140 And again, I will be to him a father and he shall be to me a son.
00:12:30.060 And again, when he brings in the first begotten into the world, he saith, and let all the
00:12:34.220 angels of God worship him.
00:12:36.040 And of the angels, he saith, who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of
00:12:39.960 fire.
00:12:40.340 But under the sun, he saith, thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.
00:12:43.460 A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.
00:12:46.520 I don't know.
00:12:47.060 Maybe we do unpack that.
00:12:48.280 I mean, these are all these passages.
00:12:50.080 Let's start right there then.
00:12:51.480 Jesus is God.
00:12:52.520 And this is where people get hung up saying he's been created.
00:12:54.820 Look, he's begotten.
00:12:55.860 And so he must have been made by the father.
00:12:57.900 And so it gets a little mangled in some of that.
00:13:00.240 Well, dude, I actually want to, I actually, yeah, we can park right there.
00:13:04.140 Let's unpack that.
00:13:04.980 But since I know I'm jumping around a lot, but the whole, the whole book of Hebrews is
00:13:10.680 just so rich in its content that it all is just saying the same thing over and over again,
00:13:16.120 because it cannot stress how perfect the work and how fulfilled the work actually was.
00:13:19.900 But 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.
00:13:34.200 So Philippians 2, 7, it goes back to saying that Jesus took on the form of a bondservant.
00:13:39.780 He did not empty himself of his deity.
00:13:41.620 He simply added flesh to the deity that he already was.
00:13:44.580 We talked about that Jesus Christ is not a different God.
00:13:46.820 He's the invisible God made visible.
00:13:48.500 So 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.
00:13:59.960 That's what he's saying here.
00:14:01.000 And I would take it that that's where he there's two places where he's talking about today.
00:14:06.040 He was begotten.
00:14:07.220 He was begotten in the womb of Mary.
00:14:09.280 But 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.
00:14:18.040 God hath fulfilled the same unto us, their children, and that he has raised up Jesus again.
00:14:23.120 We talk about how God raised Jesus from the dead.
00:14:25.240 God the Father did it.
00:14:27.180 That'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.
00:14:33.540 God 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.
00:14:40.100 That's interesting, too.
00:14:40.920 That means the psalms were numbered.
00:14:42.340 Because, you know, sometimes we think about, like, chapters of the Bible were not chapters.
00:14:45.020 They were not numbered.
00:14:45.900 The psalms were because they were songs.
00:14:47.360 But 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.
00:14:59.140 So 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.
00:15:15.360 So when he raised Jesus from the dead, he's saying that's the context of that verse.
00:15:19.400 That's when Jesus was begotten.
00:15:20.900 He wasn't begotten in the beginning of time.
00:15:23.040 He wasn't like created by the father.
00:15:25.340 That's where he was begotten.
00:15:26.660 And that's where he's called like the firstborn of the dead.
00:15:29.340 Right.
00:15:29.700 And we're brothers with him.
00:15:31.040 He's the first.
00:15:31.940 And we just come afterwards.
00:15:33.720 Can you look up first Peter one 20 for me?
00:15:36.860 n a s b right any that's fine yeah here it is
00:15:51.920 who threw him are believers in god who raised him from the dead and gave him glory so that
00:15:59.820 your faith and hope are in god and then revelation 13 uh 8 says all who dwell on
00:16:06.060 earth will worship him. Everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world
00:16:10.180 and the book of life, the lamb who has been slain. So similarly throughout, just throughout
00:16:16.920 scripture, but primarily in this context of God's existence being before, or Jesus's existence being
00:16:25.280 predated to his incarnation, you know, the lamb of God who is slain before the foundation of the
00:16:32.580 world, that Jesus already enacted the Father's will in this moment simply by putting on flesh.
00:16:38.100 And it was to come and to make ransom for sin. It was to pay for the price of sin and the penalty
00:16:43.480 of it. And I think that there is, like we talked about the word begotten in the last episode,
00:16:51.720 it means a direct derivative of. So in plain context or plain text, we are adopted into God's
00:17:01.180 family, Jesus is directly from the Father. So you and I are created in the image of God while Jesus
00:17:08.620 actually is God. He is the actual substance of that power. So it would be like Jesus is flesh
00:17:15.400 and blood. We're off the street, to put it into perspective. And now we have been adopted. So
00:17:21.460 1 John 3 actually talks about that there is a difference between being a child of God and a
00:17:28.460 child of the world or a child of satan that's actually what jesus would call the pharisees
00:17:32.600 like you're of the you have your father the devil so there is a huge delineation in that but we
00:17:37.260 become a part of god's family when we become adopted in the sonship sonship by confessing
00:17:43.380 jesus christ as lord and then we get we get grafted into that family so not only that but
00:17:49.980 in the old covenant we were far off but now because of the blood of jesus actually talks
00:17:54.840 about in Ephesians 1 or 2, where it's like, you who are once far off have now been brought near
00:17:59.460 by the blood of Christ, meaning that we have now been brought into the family of Jesus. There's
00:18:05.220 no longer a separation, which was our sinful nature that put us out of what God's will for
00:18:12.360 us was. But it was simply by the blood of Jesus and His Son talking about how whenever the high
00:18:18.580 priest would go into the temple, it was always a reminder of his sin. But now that Jesus' blood
00:18:24.500 is there. Ours is now reconciliation with the Father. Does that make sense? So now, Jesus
00:18:31.920 definitely is the only begotten Son, John 3.16. Everybody knows that. For God's little world,
00:18:37.360 he's only begotten Son. Only begotten Son. But the crazy thing is what the writer of Hebrews is now
00:18:45.040 saying is he is actually showing the vast difference, not just in creation of who he is
00:18:51.920 in proportion to us, but who he is in proportion to angelic beings. So like Elohim translates to
00:18:57.240 angelic beings. Now Elohim is in reference to Yahweh, but Elohim is in reference to
00:19:05.720 angelic beings. Similarly, in Job chapter one, verse six, I think, I have it here somewhere.
00:19:15.340 What are you talking about when all the angels, the sons of God show up for him?
00:19:19.020 And he calls them sons of God.
00:19:21.840 Yeah, so angels may be collectively called sons of God.
00:19:24.980 No angel has ever been given the title begotten son.
00:19:28.500 You are my begotten son, which immediately puts Jesus in a rank of his own
00:19:33.540 if it didn't do that in the first four.
00:19:35.820 Because there was that temptation to worship angelic beings in Colossians 2.18 and Galatians 1.8.
00:19:44.300 That's where Paul was saying, I have been given this gospel by the Lord Jesus Christ
00:19:48.720 And if anybody comes and tries to get you to teach another gospel or believe a different gospel, like, let that person be accursed.
00:19:55.720 That is, Paul was revealing the revelation.
00:20:00.380 Let me actually just go there.
00:20:02.440 Paul was revealing the revelation of the gospel.
00:20:06.420 And he says the same thing in John chapter, no, 2 John and the end of Revelation where it's adding to it.
00:20:17.200 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you, this is Galatians 1.8, but even
00:20:21.440 if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to
00:20:25.180 you, he is to be accursed. And that is to simply say that Jesus is fully God, fully man. He came
00:20:30.700 to this earth, lived a perfectly sinless life, and he lived a life that we could not. He died
00:20:36.020 the death that we should have died. And in doing so, he made forgiveness of sin where he was buried
00:20:41.000 in the tomb for three days and he resurrected on the third day and ascended to the right hand of
00:20:45.360 father where he's reigning and ruling right now that jesus came fully god fully man in the flesh
00:20:49.520 that's what he would say he has to have come in the flesh because if today if somebody tries to
00:20:53.680 tell you that jesus did not come in the flesh that's actually uh doctrine of demons so so is
00:20:59.760 that a warning for uh i mean it sounds you just described the book of mormon and you described
00:21:05.360 islamism as like these kind of religions that are inspired by angels but um the bible strictly warns
00:21:12.960 against that absolutely it's interesting the dude prometheus lens when he was on brought that up too
00:21:17.160 that like you know why was israel like going astray in the wilderness and coming out of egypt
00:21:21.420 and stuff and he was making the point that they were being uh ministered to if you will they were
00:21:25.940 being influenced by other angels they were able to show them they show them stuff and there's this
00:21:31.260 thought i think in hebrews it brings it out too the angels were connected to the bringing forth
00:21:35.040 of the law i mean there was the pillar of fire um the the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire
00:21:40.780 that went with them uh day and night there's there's this other like supernatural stuff that
00:21:45.660 was happening and so like they very easily could be led astray by angels so you're just making the
00:21:50.700 point that like hey jesus is god yeah there's angels doing stuff don't be led astray by them
00:21:55.440 even if an angel shows up and preaches you another gospel let him be cursed so actually you guys are
00:22:01.140 gonna love this i i don't i don't know why i just like haven't mentioned this to y'all before but
00:22:06.500 before we get there, I do want to quote my source. 1 John 4, we can read verses 1 through 3. It says,
00:22:14.060 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
00:22:18.300 because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God.
00:22:22.820 Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit
00:22:27.600 that does not confess Jesus is not from God is the spirit of the Antichrist, of which you have
00:22:32.320 heard that is coming and now and now it is already in the world so yeah many people are already being
00:22:36.980 led astray by false doctrines that are indoctrinated by the spirit of the antichrist
00:22:40.980 islam and mormonism are you know sort of religious examples but if you look outside into the new age
00:22:47.700 and occult practices um they are presenting a false jesus and that jesus is one that is like uh
00:22:55.260 christ consciousness this idea that like you can achieve it through like meditative processes and
00:23:00.100 new age motifs and then there's uh you know pleiadian jesus which is a plug-in for the if
00:23:06.200 you're into aliens and such so there are so many different jesus's that's why this warning is so
00:23:13.220 important because i think that if you're in a religious institution of any sort and and that's
00:23:19.580 your framework then you'll see like like top mentioned islam and mormonism and things like
00:23:23.340 that and you'll understand it in that context but you step one foot outside of those institutions
00:23:27.800 and you look at what's happening on the world stage right now,
00:23:30.920 Donald Trump's doing alien disclosure and such,
00:23:33.260 they have one loaded up for that too.
00:23:35.500 So there's going to be, it doesn't matter what it is.
00:23:37.880 They have a Jesus loaded up.
00:23:38.940 They've got a Jesus loaded up for whatever your flavor is.
00:23:41.460 What did you call, or what did the people call it?
00:23:43.160 The Ascended Master?
00:23:44.280 That's like the Pleiadian one.
00:23:45.720 So there's a Pleiadian one that's like a straight up alien.
00:23:48.420 There's an Ascended Master, which is to say that Jesus is no different
00:23:51.740 than any of the, let's say like Buddha.
00:23:54.460 Buddha was an Ascended Master.
00:23:55.780 He achieved nirvana through meditative practices and living a life that is conducive to whatever that achievement actually is.
00:24:03.920 And Jesus is no different from that.
00:24:05.600 And 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.
00:24:14.920 And 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.
00:24:32.480 So it's, you know, Freemasonry, but like the OTO, much more extreme ones, Freemasonry in very many ways.
00:24:39.340 We talked to somebody recently from Italy.
00:24:41.340 In America, it is just a men's club.
00:24:45.140 But overseas, it's a totally different animal.
00:24:48.240 But they believe that all of this is allegorical for something that mankind can achieve.
00:24:55.520 You know, Jacob's Ladder turns into rungs of enlightenment so that you can achieve a certain state.
00:25:00.700 It's really no different than, I would say, like the Buddhist idea of reaching nirvana.
00:25:05.660 So, yeah, just just to, I guess, John's point, they they're going to do that.
00:25:10.280 They're already doing that. They've been doing that for a long time.
00:25:12.700 And it's probably a lot denser than even the ones that I've mentioned here.
00:25:16.800 There's probably a vast array of Jesus's in Hebrews goes to great lengths to describe who this Jesus is.
00:25:23.460 It's a timely book, man. I mean, it's always a timely book.
00:25:26.140 But 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.
00:25:31.540 We've talked about it before. He's a Jewish man. Yeah.
00:25:33.660 Like it's it matters who he is. Yeah. And what's crazy is how simple it's been made.
00:25:37.980 Yeah. And it really has been made simple because through all these mystery schools, it's a convoluted ceremony, ritual based, intellectual achievement based.
00:25:48.560 It works based. It's works based. Whereas, you know, the Christ of the Bible is actually very simple.
00:25:55.120 And I, and I, it seems to me that that's because, um, we can't ever claim it had anything to do
00:25:59.680 with us. Amen. Christianity is the only religion with an empty tomb. Come on somebody. Yeah,
00:26:04.780 there you go. Right. And, uh, so I do want to, uh, since we're, since we're here, I do want to
00:26:12.260 address that. Um, in Hebrews chapter 13, verse one, it says, let love of the brethren continue
00:26:18.200 or verse two, do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by this, some have entertained
00:26:23.480 angels without knowing it. Um, and this is, this is my, um, speculation rabbit hole that we can
00:26:30.620 like toss around is if Satan masquerades himself as an angel of light, we have now been made known
00:26:38.500 the mysteries of the angelic beings. And that if according to chapter one, verse 14, they are
00:26:44.120 ministering spirits, their messengers, they render service for the sake of those who will inherit
00:26:48.460 salvation, meaning that they have been given dominion. If we go to Job chapter one, that Satan
00:26:54.040 comes to and fro from heaven to earth as he pleases. And if he masquerades himself as an
00:26:59.520 angel of light, like Mormonism was founded on, then who's to say that demons can't do the same
00:27:06.940 thing? If, if these, if we are not being like we were talking about, there is a doctrine of demons,
00:27:12.780 those who forbid marriage and uh eating of meats yeah and being led astray um by saying preaching
00:27:22.100 a religion where jesus did not come in the flesh which he definitely did say forbids marriage yeah
00:27:27.360 can you reiterate that all that passage let me get it up yeah it's marriage that's wild well what do
00:27:32.600 you mean that's like the catholic system that's because they don't want procreation of the local
00:27:36.540 catholic system they don't get married those priests oh oh i understand what you're saying
00:27:40.980 now okay i'm just saying that's one modern example but he's saying that like there's coming a day
00:27:45.380 where they're going to forbid you to get married and and i think in the same verse it talks about
00:27:49.840 there's certain meats you can't eat like because this topic comes up people like oh you eat pork
00:27:53.900 you're living in sin obedience get some you know like people are like that scripture says like
00:27:58.820 eat you know they're going to forbid certain meats okay let's go first timothy chapter four
00:28:04.040 one through five. It says, but the spirit explicitly says that in later times, some will
00:28:11.560 fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons by
00:28:15.940 means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscious as with the branding iron men who
00:28:22.260 forbid marriage and advocate as abstaining from foods, which God has created to be gratefully
00:28:27.400 shared in those by who believe and know the truth for everything created by God is good and nothing
00:28:32.900 is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude for it is sanctified by means of the word of god
00:28:38.300 and prayer so you can eat anything you want is what that passage very clearly says it's interesting
00:28:43.740 i i think about that through like a maybe like a governmental structure what does it look like
00:28:48.500 you think a time could come where would that be specifically through a religious lens or would
00:28:53.740 they all of the above i mean it says now the spirit speaks so the holy spirit's telling paul
00:28:58.900 like communicating this to paul and paul's writing it to timothy saying the holy spirit
00:29:02.260 speaks expressly that in the latter times which which could potentially uh be it's definitely now
00:29:08.500 but it's really any time since christ yeah yeah uh then the latter times some shall depart from
00:29:14.420 the faith so this is heavy bro so this is specifically people who were part of the faith
00:29:19.140 it says that they will in verse one they will depart from the faith giving heed to seducing
00:29:24.020 spirits so spirits that come in and seduce you right so you can argue for it and you can prove
00:29:28.900 that you're right but you've been seduced right giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of
00:29:34.020 demons doctrines of devils speaking lies and hypocrisy so check their life right like jesus
00:29:39.300 says examine their fruit they're speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a
00:29:44.660 hot iron you've met people like that bro they don't have a conscience anymore having their
00:29:48.340 conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry they say oh yeah man certain people can't
00:29:54.020 get married like good luck what could go wrong there like what do you think is going to happen
00:29:58.500 and commanding to abstain from meats, from food, certain foods, which God has created to be
00:30:04.260 received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. So if you believe and know
00:30:08.960 the truth, you're eating whatever you want or whatever you want. Why? Because every creature
00:30:12.960 of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving. That's a real
00:30:19.500 problem for those people who say, yeah, for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
00:30:25.220 you know that's why people pray for their food and to sanctify it uh or to bless your food is
00:30:30.940 to thank god for it like like even sometimes like maybe you're in a maybe you're in a rush or
00:30:35.740 whatever like i don't think there's a lot of times that i food goes in my mouth that i don't at least
00:30:39.860 like even to myself just like thank you lord you know i was thinking about that the other day i was
00:30:43.920 like we always pray for food we never pray for our drinks for all of it man but no i think it's
00:30:50.760 I think it's more, it also has to do with procreation.
00:30:54.400 You know, the people in the church of God
00:30:56.020 is consistently and continually growing.
00:30:58.200 And so is the kingdom of heaven
00:30:59.780 because believers have been continuously procreating
00:31:04.020 and by sanctifying their children,
00:31:05.520 by the parents' faith and so on and so forth.
00:31:07.700 And God says in the Old Testament, he's like,
00:31:09.360 I am a compassionate God.
00:31:10.380 I will be gracious to whom I am gracious.
00:31:11.680 I'll have mercy on who I have mercy.
00:31:13.220 So ultimately, whenever we stand before God,
00:31:15.200 we have no idea what he's going to do
00:31:16.480 because we know that the work of Jesus
00:31:20.560 the work of jesus was for everyone where'd that go the work of jesus was for everyone and it was
00:31:28.060 completely full i have no idea where that went i'm sorry it went to a different realm no i like
00:31:33.380 where you're going with this though so what are you saying you're saying like uh i'm saying don't
00:31:38.380 judge of who's what uh because you don't really know it's funny because i was uh thinking about
00:31:43.080 nicodemus earlier this week i was uh preparing some stuff and i was thinking like i don't know
00:31:47.940 if this dude ever professed openly to love christ dude but like you see the way the story plays out
00:31:53.100 and how it and how it ends where he's getting the body down and wrapping it in aloes and stuff with
00:31:57.740 joseph varimathy i'm like this is a dude who maybe you know wasn't like out there brazen out in the
00:32:03.160 open claiming christ but people might have looked at him and said not this this guy's not a real one
00:32:08.160 but come to find out he was a real one we don't know absolutely just don't know and people that
00:32:13.340 It just goes, it just goes back to only God knows the heart of man and we can look at
00:32:17.480 outward intentions, but we, we do know, like, like we were talking about in Matthew chapter
00:32:23.720 seven, where it talks about the observation of a tree that bears good fruit.
00:32:28.260 You will, you will know, uh, people's theology.
00:32:32.040 You will know people's relationship with the father.
00:32:33.800 You will know who they are.
00:32:35.380 One, by the way that they speak and two, by the fruit of their lives and the fruit on
00:32:40.580 the tree.
00:32:41.380 And that is what we are called to observe.
00:32:42.880 We're not called to judge people based on the lifestyle that they live.
00:32:46.220 We can hold people accountable, and a lot of people tend to say, judge not lest you be judged.
00:32:49.980 No, judge not lest you be judged on the same order that you do judge or the same measure that you make judgment.
00:32:55.860 It is we are called to hold each other accountable.
00:32:57.700 There's an order, and that's why God gives it to us.
00:33:00.420 There's an order on how we do that privately, two or three brothers in front of the congregation.
00:33:05.580 Well, and there's a—I think that word carries more than just what we would call like judging.
00:33:09.720 It's like judge, jury, and executioner.
00:33:12.380 you're like they've done this this is what i'm going to judge their motive to i'm going to guess
00:33:15.900 their motive and i'm going to and this is what they deserve because of it that's right it's like
00:33:19.980 no no we do we do need to be judging especially in the church specifically to to understand what's
00:33:25.180 going on but at a certain point we leave it to god we say hey god like this is happening but i
00:33:29.180 don't want to guess their motive and i don't want to um subscribe to them some kind of punishment
00:33:34.140 for it it's amazing what that turns into though this is like we talk about definitions really
00:33:38.620 often yeah and uh you know for all love is is one of those definitions that gets totally screwed up
00:33:44.280 love is love becomes some totally interchangeable yeah and and uh i think judgment is another one
00:33:49.700 of those where people will do horrifying things or live a lifestyle that is to the detriment of
00:33:55.300 others and then you know if you should say anything and you're christian well you know
00:34:00.160 don't judge me or or else you'll be judged and it's like that's the most watered down ridiculous
00:34:05.240 version of that that you know but that's what happens you know destabilizing the definition
00:34:09.900 of words is uh a pretty good tactic if you want to be able to never draw a conclusion or come to
00:34:14.800 a consensus i love what you just said there the destabilizing of the word is a very good tactic
00:34:21.580 to get people to believe what you want and that's exactly satan's ploy with this you know whenever
00:34:26.080 jesus was led into the wilderness he was quoting scripture i guarantee you jesus or excuse me i
00:34:30.760 I guarantee you Satan knows Scripture better than any believer in life.
00:34:34.860 He's had thousands of years to practice and to learn how to find loopholes
00:34:39.920 and to change it away, masquerades himself as an angel of light.
00:34:42.820 But we also know that Jesus had to come in the flesh.
00:34:45.920 He was fully God and he was fully man.
00:34:48.020 And we also now know that the forbidding of marriage and of foods
00:34:51.120 is the doctrine of demons.
00:34:52.340 We know the spirit of the Antichrist.
00:34:53.640 We know the doctrine of demons.
00:34:55.080 We know what is true whenever we are in our words or in the word
00:35:00.600 And 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.
00:35:11.180 We 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.
00:35:21.520 That word realized in the Greek is a genito, which means to become incarnate.
00:35:25.760 So whenever grace and truth are realized in the full person of Jesus Christ, he's always been the same God.
00:35:31.820 The same God who said stone in anyone and anything that touches my holy mountain is the same God who said turn the other cheek.
00:35:37.580 The 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.
00:35:47.680 And that is exactly what the enemy wants.
00:35:50.780 He wants us changing the word to fit our lifestyle.
00:35:54.740 But like I tell or say all the time, most of the time, people do not want the one true living God nowadays.
00:36:01.140 They want a projection of their own heart.
00:36:02.640 They want to be able to contain them in a way that supports their lifestyle without giving them any accountability.
00:36:11.780 And that is really what pushes us away from the Word.
00:36:15.320 And Jesus, yes, He pardons sin, and He covers over a multitude because He is love.
00:36:21.540 and but don't get me wrong we cannot continue going on in our sin that's exactly what first
00:36:26.340 john chapter three talks about is that the one that who has been made right with god who has
00:36:30.860 been one with god does not continuously go on and sin not saying that you won't fall again
00:36:35.880 but we have been we have put fighting against it yes and another point to what you're saying
00:36:40.720 about the mangling of words and and specifically to that uh encounter between satan and jesus in
00:36:47.380 the wilderness you like you're saying satan's saying it is written and but jesus continues to
00:36:52.540 come back with but it is also written that's right and i think that's really where we have to get at
00:36:56.860 like that really is the context even for the straight bible show is like unpacking any given
00:37:00.800 passage with supporting references from the scripture i think like it's very easy for satan
00:37:06.820 or demons or whoever to say it is written but you have to have enough grounding in the word of god
00:37:12.300 to say but it is also written and to be able to balance these things i'm glad you said that you
00:37:16.520 never said that before but that's the entire point of straight bible i think it's that like
00:37:21.000 because we run up into that all the time where somebody says well look at this scripture and
00:37:25.380 it's like well what about the other ones but it's also written yeah you have to you have to have
00:37:29.660 this balance you have to have i mean that's how jesus did it it's not it's not really satan said
00:37:34.260 it is written jesus said yeah it's also written this is our whole life is just balancing these
00:37:39.100 things in the scripture like what do you do with these passages that even sometimes seem to
00:37:42.760 contradict right but if you're not doing that and you're just trying to pull passages for what you
00:37:47.380 want i think what you're alluding to is like people who create god in their image instead of
00:37:51.980 god creating them in his image they're just making god whoever they want them to be then you can just
00:37:56.820 pull passages and make it say whatever you want but that's why you have to have the bible in
00:38:00.340 context not just like a passage or a book but the entirety of the bible in context that's what
00:38:05.320 people are doing so going back to that idea of like preaching a different gospel of a different
00:38:09.000 jesus uh people are doing that when they're decoupling the old testament from the new
00:38:12.760 testament because they look at the old testament and they find it harsh to the extent because
00:38:16.760 they're not reading it in context if you read the whole thing in context it's constantly pointing at
00:38:20.680 jesus christ in the new testament so it's a it's a through line um but since they cannot square the
00:38:26.200 god of the old testament who seems harsh in comparison to jesus christ the coming of christ
00:38:30.840 and everything that he teaches they decouple it entirely they say that the god of the old
00:38:35.080 old testament is in fact this is the deep coveted knowledge this is the secret that's hidden within
00:38:39.080 the bible and this is like leaning on your own understanding but they'll go this is the demiurge
00:38:43.480 this is the entity that imprisons us here this is not the same god that is god the father that
00:38:48.260 jesus christ is talking about and it's like if you just read the entire thing with understand
00:38:53.000 that jesus christ is the fulfillment of everything that the god of the old testament is talking about
00:38:57.100 but without that you can start to like matt is saying pick and choose these different things
00:39:01.780 individual passages, compare and contrast them and go, look, they're totally different. Therefore,
00:39:06.540 the demiurge, therefore, you know, there is secret hidden knowledge that we can achieve if
00:39:12.000 we just read between the lines and determine God of the Old Testament is, in fact, an imprisoning
00:39:18.180 monster. Better live in the Word of God, man, to be able to get in between all that, man.
00:39:23.720 And the one thing that we cannot separate is that the entire Bible is to point to the substance
00:39:30.080 of Jesus Christ being God. And that is kind of where I want to throw us back in about the
00:39:37.160 difference between Jesus and angels is if you go to Colossians chapter two, verse 18, it says,
00:39:43.960 let no, or let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement
00:39:49.060 and the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen inflated without cause his
00:39:55.180 but by his fleshly mind um and there is this urge um also in galatians like i was reading earlier
00:40:03.500 before we go too far past that i'll just if you go a couple verses before that says let no man
00:40:07.960 therefore judge you and meet there's there's that again let no man judge you therefore and meet or
00:40:12.540 in drink or in respect of a holiday or of the new moon or even of sabbath days that goes back to
00:40:17.680 colossians 2 16 and 17 that's wild because i see people say that all the time on twitter
00:40:22.420 they'll be like oh you're still doing the sabbath on you're doing no man judge you
00:40:28.060 according to sabbath like it's the sabbath is i mean that's what paul's saying right there
00:40:31.520 and here's why you already alluded to this which are a shadow of things to come but the body is
00:40:36.880 of christ like all of this stuff was shadows pointing to christ that's right so because of
00:40:41.600 that like yeah there was sabbath days that's pre-law like sabbath is pre-law it's not just
00:40:45.640 in the law but but even that let no man judge you according to these things these are all types of
00:40:51.220 christ that's right yeah and the the cool thing is that there is just this constant theme that
00:40:58.620 jesus is the only source is supposed to be the only source of our worship of our daily cross
00:41:04.940 carrying he's supposed to be the one that we are setting our our our hope and he is the author
00:41:10.400 and finisher of our faith and we are to pursue him in all things and so going back to like what
00:41:16.540 I was saying in Galatians chapter 1, verse 8, but even if we or an angel from heaven should
00:41:21.000 preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed. The premise
00:41:25.320 of all of this is the weight of the gospel. And the book of Hebrews is saying that it had to have
00:41:31.620 been Jesus. Why? Because he is fully God and he's fully man. And it had to have been enough because
00:41:36.620 he is saying that his blood is much better than bulls and goats, that he is the perfect high
00:41:42.080 priest. He is the perfect king. He lives to make intercession for the believers. He is
00:41:46.080 constantly fulfilling everything that it was because he is a eternal being that was not
00:41:51.820 confined by a time limited moment, that it was an eternal being on the cross in one moment
00:41:57.020 that satisfied all of creation in that one moment because of how perfect it was on the
00:42:01.880 cross.
00:42:02.760 And so going to verse 14, I just want to like talk about what angels actually like, what
00:42:09.260 scripture just in this one scripture says angels are, says that they are excluded.
00:42:15.580 They are excluded from the titles of the son.
00:42:18.540 Going back to verse four, having become as much better than the angels, he hasn't inherited
00:42:23.560 a much more excellent name than they.
00:42:25.900 So angels are excluded from the titles and names of the son and that angels are messengers,
00:42:31.840 ministers, spirits, servants, and ambassadors.
00:42:34.780 That is it.
00:42:35.400 If 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.
00:42:50.900 Yeah, that's all.
00:42:51.960 That's his claim.
00:42:52.580 If we go to Jude, whenever Michael is contending over the body of Moses with Satan, he doesn't say the Lord rebuke you.
00:43:03.440 He puts the Lord in front of him.
00:43:05.400 He's an archangel.
00:43:06.480 That's probably top three, at least, in the kingdom of God.
00:43:12.060 And so he is still saying, the Lord rebuke you,
00:43:14.640 meaning that the Lord's name will always come before an angel.
00:43:18.940 Will always come before an angel.
00:43:20.500 Same thing with the gospel.
00:43:21.920 The gospel of Jesus Christ, what he did is always going to come
00:43:25.680 before any work of any messenger, angel, ambassador, servant, spirit,
00:43:30.480 whatever it is, because he has given them a much more higher name than they had.
00:43:33.760 at that name, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
00:43:38.720 So this whole first section is just showing the full, like this is going to, the first chapter
00:43:45.480 of Hebrews is going to be the lens, which we view the rest of the book. Because if we can understand
00:43:50.260 how perfect the work of Christ was just in this first chapter, everything else is just going to
00:43:55.880 glorify him. And whenever we say magnify the Lord with me, obviously we can't make God bigger because
00:44:00.920 he's already the biggest he can be we're actually widening our perspective of him so whenever we say
00:44:07.600 magnify the lord it's like hey let's renew our minds we're in more in uh in better light it's
00:44:14.220 metamorpho in the greek and whenever we go to the mount of transfiguration whenever um
00:44:20.540 peter is up on the mount with jesus and moses and elijah and he's saying lord should i make a uh
00:44:27.520 Should I make three tents for you guys?
00:44:29.000 In doing so, he was actually making Jesus equivalent to Moses and Elijah.
00:44:36.120 And that's whenever the father rebukes him.
00:44:38.020 And he says, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.
00:44:41.580 Listen to him.
00:44:42.520 He rebukes Peter.
00:44:43.740 Thank God for Peter.
00:44:44.620 Come on, man.
00:44:45.380 Thank God for the stuff he says and blurts out.
00:44:48.020 Like, it just shows us so much, man.
00:44:50.520 If he wasn't around asking those questions and doing those things, we wouldn't know about.
00:44:54.840 Yeah, that's intriguing, bro.
00:44:56.020 Well, the actual like metamorpho is used there again in the rebuke of a renewing.
00:45:02.520 He's like, hey, I know this is what you think of my son.
00:45:06.000 Is that metamorphoio?
00:45:07.400 Is that the word transfigured?
00:45:10.060 I believe so, yeah.
00:45:11.420 So when it says that Jesus was transfigured, it's like metamorphosis, like that is the word?
00:45:15.960 Because I know that whatever that Greek word is, I can't remember.
00:45:18.260 Maybe it is the metamorphosis word, but wherever it's used of Jesus that he was transfigured,
00:45:22.980 It's the same word in Romans 12, like 1-2, where it says, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:45:32.300 Same word.
00:45:33.020 It says, like, be transfigured.
00:45:34.420 Like, the same way Jesus was transfigured into that, radiating that glory, it's telling us the same thing, man.
00:45:40.500 Be transfigured by the renewing of your mind.
00:45:43.200 That's right.
00:45:43.840 Is it that same word?
00:45:44.760 Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:45:45.620 The transfiguration of Jesus in Romans 12, verse 2, where he says, do not conform to the patterns of this world.
00:45:50.780 the transform and transfiguration same synonymous yeah metamorpho and is and you're saying that's
00:45:56.940 what the father said back to peter though yeah he's saying like hey like what i was talking
00:46:01.260 about with magnify it is we are broadening our perspective of jesus in this moment because we
00:46:06.940 cannot make jesus bigger than that makes sense when we magnify some are put under a magnifying
00:46:11.340 glass the thing doesn't change right it's just it's just us changing our view that's right and
00:46:15.340 that's what that's what we're doing in this moment we're actually broadening our perspective on what
00:46:19.980 God is saying, or God, the father is saying, God, the son, we can spend our life doing that.
00:46:24.760 That's right. That's right. And, uh, so let all the angels of God worship him. And again,
00:46:30.940 going back to, uh, Joe chapter one, verse six, where he calls them all the sons of God. Um,
00:46:37.100 that is completely different to Jesus being the son of God. Uh, cause we, we know that he is the
00:46:43.480 only begotten and verse seven and the angels, he says, who makes his angels wins and his minister
00:46:49.420 is a flame of fire, but the son, he says, your throne, O God, is forever and ever. And the
00:46:54.340 righteous scepter is the scepter of his kingdom. We know that righteousness and justice are the
00:46:59.360 foundation of his throne. And at the right hand is where Jesus is sitting. And like I was saying
00:47:04.820 last episode in Matthew 28, 18 through 19, then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in
00:47:10.920 heaven on earth have been given to me. That's that right hand in position. Again, Jesus being at the
00:47:15.600 right hand of God, meaning he is all of God's power. And we talked about that too. And going
00:47:20.520 back to Luke chapter one, um, and Isaiah 40, 40 verse 12 or 41, 12, something like that,
00:47:27.060 where he measures the universe with the span of his hand. And now Jesus, whenever Mary is looking
00:47:32.420 at God and he, she's saying that, Hey, you have given me this promise of a son. Jesus is now the
00:47:36.720 strength of God's arm. And the scepter is, is made in righteousness for his kingdom because it will
00:47:43.320 last forever and the the premise of what i'm getting at is jesus is the only righteous one
00:47:51.560 amen jesus is the only righteous one and i can't remember where in isaiah it says but it says like
00:47:59.060 our righteous isaiah 43 i don't know maybe our righteousness is as filthy rags yeah it's like
00:48:04.320 a minstrelous minstrelous cloth period blood he's like oh you're so righteous it's like period blood
00:48:09.480 to me that's so crazy bro that's so crazy he's saying like hey any any form of accreditation
00:48:17.580 that you think that you have that could inherit any good favor with me your way to the kingdom
00:48:24.120 of heaven any love that i can give you i view it as minstress rags smells like pennies that's
00:48:29.980 crazy that is wild man it's actually insane all right let me see what else i got so
00:48:39.380 we know where did i stop at you want me to read the rest of the chapter i think we were at uh
00:48:44.220 verse 10 or 9 verse 9 i'll pick up a 9 you you have loved righteousness and hated iniquity
00:48:51.100 therefore god even thy god hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows and
00:48:55.780 thou lord in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of your
00:49:00.460 hands they shall perish but you remain and they all shall wax old as does the garment and as a
00:49:06.920 vesture shall they'll fold them up and they shall be changed but you are the same and your years
00:49:11.920 shall not fail but to which of the angels said he at any time sit on thy right hand until i make
00:49:17.040 your enemies thy footstool are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for
00:49:22.060 them who shall be heirs of salvation so this is just layers of delineation like who christ is
00:49:28.460 and if you think the angels are even close you're wrong about yeah better than angels better than
00:49:33.460 that's what the writer of hebrews is doing man he even gets into moses this is like you said laying
00:49:37.620 the groundwork for the lens that you're going to look at the rest of hebrews through okay that's
00:49:41.140 gonna be it and it's fair to look at the the groundwork for how you're going to look at
00:49:45.140 everything that you're reading at this point yeah yeah yeah jesus is totally separate jesus crushes
00:49:50.020 harder than he's not comparable to an angel that's right and if we go to um mark chapter 14
00:49:56.180 verses 62 through 63 um this is whenever jesus is brought before uh he's so fast
00:50:07.860 he's on it dude and jesus said i am and actually go up one more 61 through 63 uh but he kept
00:50:15.980 silent and did not answer again the high priest was questioning him and saying to him are you
00:50:20.080 the christ the son of the blessed one and jesus said i am and you shall see the son of man sitting
00:50:25.140 at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven, tearing his clothes. The high
00:50:29.700 priest said, what further need do we have of witnesses? So tearing clothes and throwing ashes
00:50:34.420 on your head was a form of lament, um, in that moment. Cause he's essentially saying that what
00:50:39.080 Jesus just said was blasphemy. But what Jesus just said was, um, that I am statement in verse 62,
00:50:45.480 if you translate that in a Greek and or Hebrew, um, it is to, um, it is a go in me, which is the
00:50:53.820 exact uh translation that yahweh used whenever moses said whom should i tell him send me he
00:51:00.600 says i am that i am that is the exact same thing and we also get that in um john 8 58 when he says
00:51:07.220 he's fighting with the dudes they say you're not even 50 how do you say before abraham was i am
00:51:12.280 yeah they knew what he was saying that's right so that's like whenever we read i am is going back
00:51:18.380 to the bible translations it doesn't matter that was freaking dudes out what for him to say that
00:51:23.400 yeah absolutely because they knew they knew it contextually weren't we just talking about uh
00:51:27.320 writing letters in hebrews and people believing that it was canonical because it was in their
00:51:30.520 original language who was i talking to about that yeah like they knew exactly that jesus was claiming
00:51:35.640 to be god there in that moment i think they knew he was dude i think that's what that terrible is
00:51:39.800 where he says uh you know man uh builds a builds a vineyard he puts everything there puts some
00:51:45.880 servants over it then he sends his uh servants to go there he leases it out to them he sends
00:51:51.800 some servants to go there to collect and they kill those servants then he sends some more they kill
00:51:56.520 those servants then he kills then he sends his son and they say yo if we kill him we can keep
00:52:02.280 everything and i think he was telling them bluntly he's saying only like they knew jesus was god but
00:52:08.360 their only mindset was the temporary realm and they had this monopoly on god and they're not
00:52:13.320 gonna let jesus come in and take that over and like take over their money and their control and
00:52:17.720 their power even though they knew he was god they couldn't help him man they're like we got to take
00:52:22.200 him out that's crazy i think they knew all along man i mean they they were in the scriptures well
00:52:27.360 even the parable of like the um the owner of the vineyard yeah is if you go to isaiah chapter 5
00:52:35.260 it is all about how he is that they would know that yahweh is the owner of the vineyard yeah
00:52:40.540 and so jesus made so many claims but of course we in two thousand years from then we view it
00:52:47.740 through a different lens sure of like maybe the word has changed and been polluted by man or
00:52:53.640 yeah like um which one yeah isaiah chapter five that is the one about the the parable of the
00:53:03.440 vineyard or not the parable of the vineyard yeah it is uh let me sing now for my well beloved a
00:53:09.300 song of my beloved concerning concerning his vineyard my well-beloved had a vineyard on a
00:53:13.920 fertile hill he dug it all around removed its stones and planted it with the choices vine and
00:53:18.440 he built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat in it and he expected it
00:53:22.880 to produce good grapes but it produced only worthless ones and now inhabitants of jerusalem
00:53:27.980 and men of judah judge between me and my vineyard what more was there to do for my vineyard that i
00:53:33.360 have not done in it why when i expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless
00:53:37.520 ones and he's actually like rebuking israel right now saying like i have given you access to me and
00:53:45.760 yet somehow you have completely turned away from me you have produced this sour wine that i did not
00:53:52.160 i did not enable you guys to produce this is completely out of human heart let me just say
00:53:56.880 this like because i picked up the nasb but this translation is another good example of like okay
00:54:03.120 that makes a lot more sick because i've read this in the king james and it's like
00:54:06.560 yeah yeah very poetic and like flowing but this is yeah you love the nasb now
00:54:12.240 dude it's so good man i love this translation we actually talked about bible translations
00:54:22.160 uh last episode too just about how there is word for word thought for thought and paraphrase which
00:54:28.200 i don't recommend people going to paraphrase uh because then you're not getting the word of god
00:54:32.140 you're getting somebody's commentary of the word of god um but word for word is there's like a uh
00:54:37.620 it's like a graph or a dial where like the farthest left is the closest translation from
00:54:43.920 the hebrew greek and aramaic to the english translation because you like we were talking
00:54:47.900 about there is a um there is a a language barrier from greek and hebrew where like love means four
00:54:54.840 different things in greek yeah then it does in over i love pizza i love my mom you know like
00:55:00.960 stuff like that and so uh word for word is is what i always encourage people to get into
00:55:07.760 whichever translation that is i'm gonna let the lord lead that um but that's that's what we were
00:55:12.040 i was bringing that up to raven before and he was like so which one has pictures i would love the
00:55:16.740 no we got action bible for my son uh that one has a lot of pictures they're really great pictures
00:55:20.660 but yeah i um in closing closing what's happening i thought we just got started
00:55:33.920 oh top's been like maneuvering to you telling you two o'clock it's two o'clock we're gonna have
00:55:37.960 time dude all right we're gonna sit here for a half hour that's your funeral i mean your show
00:55:42.580 faster rick will choke you out it's a celebration five minutes
00:55:46.160 all right did you want to say anything to um people who say so so why is he referred to as
00:55:52.500 the angel of the lord or do you think that when the angel of the lord shows up is that in fact
00:55:56.800 jesus what's what's your take on that it depends on where um i i actually don't know fair i like
00:56:04.320 that don't say that in front of top he hates that but yeah i don't know see like son of god son of
00:56:09.900 man 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
00:56:15.260 But it's just like he shows up as human of God, the son of God, as human of God.
00:56:21.660 In 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.
00:56:31.780 Right.
00:56:31.880 You think that still look like a dude, though?
00:56:33.560 Yeah.
00:56:34.060 Yeah.
00:56:34.260 Angels look like dudes anyway.
00:56:36.060 Well, not really.
00:56:36.640 Not not biblically accurate angels.
00:56:38.600 Right.
00:56:38.860 Right.
00:56:39.080 Right.
00:56:39.260 That's why I asked.
00:56:39.920 like it doesn't look like a passage where it says that like be careful entertaining strangers
00:56:44.180 unaware because because sometimes you've entertained angels unaware but if they're
00:56:47.580 presenting as what you perceive as a stranger then they're not presenting as angels yeah so
00:56:52.100 that's that's where my speculation is and the only thing that i can think of is um that going back to
00:56:58.160 that word wait wait wait wait so you're saying shape-shifting you're not saying i'm not saying
00:57:01.680 i mean angels just look like humans you're saying angels don't well i'm also saying satan is a
00:57:06.460 fallen angel and he masquerades meaning he covers or he conceals his true appearance as an angel of
00:57:13.060 light deceiving people into thinking that he is one way but in reality he's a different so i'm not
00:57:19.140 but don't we have like other passages where an angel shows up and they assume it's a human
00:57:23.140 well there's other passages where angels show up and they're like don't be a bitch about it
00:57:26.800 because they're like super they're really freaked out and fear not well yeah that's what i'm saying
00:57:30.380 so do not be afraid good point but you know whatever they're experiencing is terrifying
00:57:34.780 them right so they have to be but i think it's even like gideon's parents um an angel shows up
00:57:40.680 does like does this whole thing they may have a sacrifice on a rock and then the angel like goes
00:57:44.580 up but they but all the while they're talking about like it's a human they're talking about
00:57:47.660 like it's a man and then even in just like um uh like an axe uh there what is there two men it
00:57:55.920 says two men that say what are you guys so surprised about the same way you saw jesus uh
00:58:01.040 go the same way he's going to come back it's like man and angels kind of there's also the
00:58:06.780 sodom and gomorrah thing right where yeah those two are up and look like humans yeah i guess just
00:58:11.080 super attractive sometimes i'm thinking of the book of ezekiel where like he actually is the
00:58:16.000 wheel within the wheel yeah like covering in eyes yeah i mean no wonder they're saying do not be
00:58:20.440 afraid their immediate reaction is what the heck is that yeah i don't know i just think that stuff
00:58:24.440 is like something else it's probably a little bit like to me angels are always humans right
00:58:28.500 whatever that is that i just think there's a bunch of stuff in the spirit realm that we kind of
00:58:33.500 generically use the the phrase angel yeah we think the angels are the little babies with wings yeah
00:58:38.580 but there's tons of stuff in the spirit it's like there's a ton of stuff yeah cherubim has probably
00:58:42.220 a ton of stuff face of an oxen face of a lion seraphim has six wings two that cover his feet
00:58:48.040 two covers horses and chariots of fire feel like its eyes its feet and uh and then two that they
00:58:54.160 fly with yeah i'm just saying i think there's a bunch of stuff in that realm man i'd be bummed
00:58:58.020 out for i mean until it told me to calm down if a dude with you know three animal faces and a man
00:59:03.400 face showed up i'd be pretty uh pretty stressed yeah not not not cool man yeah but man since
00:59:12.080 since you're kind of jumping into this man i'd love to hear what kind of like sparked today like
00:59:17.360 what really stood out to you more than the rest since you weren't with us in the first part um
00:59:21.900 well i mean i like the idea that the first chunk of hebrews is about laying out the lens and this
00:59:27.220 is something that we were talking about not long ago uh the nephilim death squad bible study it's
00:59:32.800 really just the the community getting together and it was about the divinity of christ and you
00:59:37.000 know the trinity which i like how matt says pretty often it's something that you're struggling to
00:59:43.400 understand because we're limited we're in this physical realm and and we're trying to understand
00:59:48.500 the nature of of god who's you know outside of almost this entire experience outside of time
00:59:53.980 and space and you know not limited by the physical realm that we're in so of course we're going to
00:59:58.700 struggle with it i don't think there's anything wrong with struggling with it but what we did
01:00:02.360 that day was we were pulling up all of these references um where you know it talks about
01:00:07.560 in the beginning the word was with god and the word was god and then later on it says that uh
01:00:12.180 jesus christ is the word made flesh so you know you've got something here but but people will go
01:00:17.120 back and forth and they'll say well who then was jesus calling out to on the cross and you know
01:00:23.440 if he's doing the will of his father then how is this you know and i don't think there's like i
01:00:28.900 said anything wrong with trying to understand those things in fact i think that's a great
01:00:32.980 place to be is actually caring enough to try to understand those things but i like that hebrews
01:00:39.220 as soon as it starts off it's like yeah this is the lens that you're going to look at this
01:00:43.700 through um elevated higher than the angels and it's just that reiteration over and over again
01:00:48.760 of like you know whatever you think about this the angels don't have the titles and names that
01:00:54.300 jesus christ has they haven't been elevated to the position that he is and so there's your
01:00:59.660 framework for the whole thing and i don't know i mean i know there are listeners of our own show
01:01:04.840 who will still go back and forth with that because there is still instances where you read it and it
01:01:09.800 seems there's a separation and then there's instances where you read something else and
01:01:12.960 they are the same definitively and and i i go you know this is so intriguing though because
01:01:17.840 like i like we i think most of us read that and we're like jesus is better than angels like
01:01:22.020 yeah no kidding yeah oh no what are you talking about but what you're saying is so valid dude
01:01:26.100 like we live in a day where no this is a very necessary conversation yeah like there is there
01:01:31.100 is a lot of deception that's going to come from entities from another realm you want to know
01:01:34.780 something stupid uh david's a dragon ball z enjoyer hell yeah i am dude it made a lot more sense when
01:01:40.500 they had the scanners and we can put like numbers that's over 9 000 right yeah yeah but then things
01:01:45.780 started to get a little bit obscure once i was like that guy's super saiyan 13 yeah didn't mean
01:01:50.940 anything anymore the power like he could destroy a planet he could destroy a planet in the last two
01:01:54.440 seasons yeah but here they're like the book of hebrews like these are the power levels yeah
01:01:59.400 this is like laying you out yeah structure laid out i love that no more questions i'm always good
01:02:04.180 i'm gonna use that every time i talk about it you gotta pay me for it yeah that's also weird right
01:02:08.700 jesus christ i mean uh jesus christ goku comes to earth is the salvation of earth and sacrifices
01:02:14.180 prises himself i don't want to talk about it it's a great plot to pull from yeah it's a great plot
01:02:18.120 they all use it right yeah yeah they do because it's a banger matt's like i don't know what this
01:02:21.600 is just a beaver just a beaver i don't know i don't know no but i just wanted to tell panda
01:02:26.640 and kind of let everybody know that gavin right here i don't know if you got a camera on gavin
01:02:30.360 this is the new intern yeah he's crushing this is gavin right here let's go so this is uh aiden's
01:02:35.680 buddies so this is homie jj it's my son's friend jj somebody said who are these silent
01:02:41.060 always been yeah panda was asking so but but everybody needs to know gavin because he's the
01:02:46.240 he's the new intern man he's crushing yeah dude he's and also he's got a tiktok going so if you
01:02:50.640 guys play tiktok go get on the straight bible tiktok gavin the intern you want to say anything
01:02:54.880 um about the tiktok or anything or like tell people to follow or say comments it's
01:03:00.580 straight bible it should pop up oh oh on tiktok oh you're good yeah go follow the tiktok um we're
01:03:09.320 trying to grow it a little more, reach more people.
01:03:12.680 He's just scared because he spent the whole hour before the show
01:03:15.900 being like, can I come on the show?
01:03:17.020 And Matt's like, you absolutely cannot come on the show.
01:03:20.420 And he's like, hey, we got to get him on the show.
01:03:23.240 He's like, is this all right?
01:03:24.960 Am I okay to do this?
01:03:26.040 I like with the audience.
01:03:28.080 It's kind of cool.
01:03:28.660 Yeah, it's good.
01:03:30.220 Yeah, it's chill.
01:03:31.180 Man, I think that there is –
01:03:32.800 I think it's really cool, though, to bring us back.
01:03:39.960 that it pleased the father to fill the son with the godhead bodily um that's colossians 1 15
01:03:48.600 through 20 in colossians 2 9 we talked about that um but since the the premise of jesus's existence
01:03:58.040 predating his incarnation it was by the grace of god and within his will that jesus would actually
01:04:04.280 taste death yeah and i think that that has pleased him yeah that's huge yeah i think that we
01:04:13.400 because we hear that god delights in us we you know he rejoices over us with singing and we don't
01:04:19.420 we don't view such a powerful being having such like human like emotions i mean that's the the
01:04:26.860 10 cent word for the day for that is anthropomorphism um that is essentially how we
01:04:31.640 describe god in a way that helps us relate to him better as human beings um and the the reality of
01:04:40.340 the the fact is like god gave us these emotions and we were created in the image of god um to
01:04:46.460 actually lean into and like we were talking about that emotions are terrible masters but
01:04:50.720 they're wonderful servants which make um agape love so personal and real um similarly it pleased
01:04:59.780 the father if you go to um isaiah 53 heavy bro it is like the most heavy section in the whole book
01:05:09.900 i know but the thing is like i think this if if i had to teach uh something for the rest of my life
01:05:18.240 it would be isaiah 53 that is just yeah just straight gospel uh it's more it's like articulates
01:05:24.120 it more clearly than the gospels even do what's happening on the cross yeah it's crazy it's the
01:05:29.960 end of 52 it's the end of 52 rolling straight into 53 it's just like the most wild the suffering
01:05:37.000 servant here it's just it just like if you read that and say oh there's another way to god other
01:05:41.560 than through jesus i just think that you're saying that you're saying something crazy you're saying
01:05:47.560 like then why did we do this like if there was any other way to god if there was any other way for
01:05:52.680 humans to be won back to god then why in the world did we do the cross this was a heinous sin this
01:05:58.360 was a heinous suffering and torturous bloody death for jesus so if there's any other way then that's
01:06:04.440 then that's heinous man in here i'll start at verse 7 and i'll go to 10. isaiah 53 7-10
01:06:11.240 um it says he was oppressed and he was afflicted yet he did not open his mouth like a lamb that
01:06:15.560 that is led to slaughter and like a sheep that is silent before it shears so he did not open
01:06:19.880 in his mouth. By oppression and judgment, he was taken away and asked for his generation who
01:06:25.300 considered that he was cut out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people,
01:06:31.020 us, Israel in that time, to whom the stroke was due. His grave was assigned with wicked men,
01:06:37.220 yet he was with a rich man in his death, Joseph of Arimathea, because he had done no violence,
01:06:43.140 nor was there any deceit in his mouth. And this is the part, this is the part,
01:06:46.580 But the Lord was pleased to crush him, putting him to grief.
01:06:51.280 If he would render himself as a guilt offering, he will see his offspring.
01:06:56.800 He will prolong his days and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his hands.
01:07:01.120 And going back to what we were talking about in Hebrews chapter one of you have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.
01:07:08.860 Therefore, God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.
01:07:12.640 and and you lord in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are
01:07:17.180 the works of your hands not only did he do all this with the hands and with the spoken word but
01:07:20.840 he also crushed his son with it yeah and it pleased him to do that it's the only way to get
01:07:27.540 us back from the dead man that's right that's right it was and i don't i don't know why that's
01:07:33.220 so heavy on my heart right now like shouldn't that shake our life shouldn't that change like
01:07:36.400 how are you saying you're a christian and you've come to terms with that that it pleased god the
01:07:40.860 father to crush him because that was the only way to buy us back from the dead but your life
01:07:45.980 just looks like everybody else how's that even possible it's not even possible how does it not
01:07:52.780 look like oh here you go god here's my life do whatever you want with it like i'm on borrowed
01:07:58.120 time it's not my life anymore what is it uh who who said this i don't think it was c.s lewis
01:08:06.620 nt right i don't think it was nt right either but it said uh dallas willard it doesn't matter um it
01:08:13.260 says the grace that does not change my life will not save my soul meaning that the that was the
01:08:21.340 raven it's so true yeah amen amen i think that they're the same way as jesus saying you'll know
01:08:30.100 them by their fruit yeah i think that the the revelation that jesus is fully god that he's
01:08:35.260 higher than the angels, that he has inherited a better name than any angelic being or any realm
01:08:41.580 or ruler of darkness, wherever it is, any god of this age, any crystal, any frequency,
01:08:48.840 any tarot card, any kind of magic or any form of voodoo, anything, any dark principality that the
01:08:55.100 name of Jesus reigns and rules above it all, because he has received a much better name and
01:08:59.820 an excellent name. And that is Yahweh himself, and that he is now seated at the right hand of God.
01:09:06.620 And it just, again, it just, I'm so stuck on the fact that it pleased the father to crush the son
01:09:14.360 that God made, like whenever we read that God made him who knew no sin, beast him for us so
01:09:19.000 that in him, we might become the righteousness of God. Like I was saying, Jesus Christ is the
01:09:23.680 only righteous one. And the only way for us to actually experience that or go into that is to
01:09:30.280 be, is just to pass through under the crushing of the sun through the blood. And without the
01:09:37.100 spilling of blood or without the remission of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins,
01:09:42.420 meaning that Jesus truly did have to die, but it pleased the Father to do so. Similarly,
01:09:47.600 like in Hebrews chapter 12, verse 2, it's like Jesus Christ, looking under Jesus, the author
01:09:52.000 and finisher of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross that joy is is
01:09:59.600 synonymous with the pleasure that the father had in crushing the son that we would be adopted into
01:10:06.040 that for so you're saying jesus endured the cross despising the shame for the joy that was set
01:10:10.860 before him in the same way the father was pleased at it they they both as rough as it because imagine
01:10:16.420 jesus going through it imagine you going through it but imagine watching your son go through yeah
01:10:20.880 So it's the worst thing about that.
01:10:22.640 Imagine watching your son.
01:10:23.960 Like you'd be like, no, I'd rather be crucified than watch my son get crucified.
01:10:26.940 So imagine they're both going through something that hard, but they're both happy.
01:10:32.680 They're both joyous about it.
01:10:34.340 They're both pleased.
01:10:35.340 They're saying, we're going to win these humans back from the dead, man.
01:10:38.520 Well, not only that too, but if we go back to just verse one, God, after he spoke long
01:10:43.480 ago to the fathers and the prophets, he foreshadowed that in Isaiah 53.
01:10:49.280 Yeah.
01:10:49.560 and not only that but now that the revelation again ito the revelation has actually become
01:10:58.180 flesh he has lived out the words that were portrayed in isaiah 53 yeah that not only was
01:11:04.600 it a joy in theory but it was a joy in practice as well and i think that that is the same theme
01:11:11.480 throughout and it and it cannot i cannot stress the fullness of the work that jesus portrayed
01:11:19.180 on the cross like there there was nothing lacking nothing yeah not one no one piece go ahead i don't
01:11:26.020 want to interrupt or like bring the conversation somewhere else but uh when it says that he would
01:11:30.820 if he would render himself uh so i'll pull the scripture back up if he would render himself as
01:11:36.840 a guilt offering it really just adds more complexity to the idea of the trinity being this
01:11:43.060 three in one but also three completely separate things like if he would so it's like it implies
01:11:49.100 did he have the
01:11:50.260 did he have the ability to just not
01:11:52.800 he did well it's like when he asked if the cup could pass
01:11:55.120 him right like yeah yeah but
01:11:56.840 he's asking it's just so confusing
01:11:58.940 right he's asking he's he's making it clear
01:12:00.900 right there there's no other way to god
01:12:02.680 well if you go to john chapter 5
01:12:05.180 verse 30
01:12:05.920 um whoops
01:12:07.960 he's saying god if there's any other way to
01:12:12.920 do this let's let's do the plan b
01:12:14.800 yeah yeah yeah the god the father's saying like bro
01:12:16.900 there's no plan b man you know it pleases me
01:12:19.000 He says, okay, okay, to crush you.
01:12:21.260 This is Jesus, and he's saying, I can do nothing on my own initiative.
01:12:24.060 As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just,
01:12:26.100 because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
01:12:28.580 That's his life in one's end.
01:12:29.800 That's it.
01:12:31.980 And even jumping to Hebrews chapter 10, we can go to verse 4 and read on.
01:12:40.800 It says, for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
01:12:44.020 Therefore, when he comes into the world, he says, therefore, when he comes into the world,
01:12:49.000 predating incarnation. Again, sacrifice is an offering you have not desired, but a body you
01:12:54.080 have prepared for me. Again, predates incarnation. In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin,
01:12:59.780 you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, behold, I have come to do your will, O God.
01:13:05.900 Going back to Psalm 40, verses 7 through 8. Here we go again with the substance or the shadow of
01:13:15.360 things i'm sorry y'all i'm nerding out right now so 47 through 8 then i said behold i come in the
01:13:20.840 scroll of the book it is written of me i delight to do your will oh my god your law is within my
01:13:25.600 heart oh my goodness i'm about to nerd out all right substance a shadow of things to come
01:13:31.780 but the sub or excuse me a shadow of things to come is the old testament but the new testament
01:13:36.200 to the person of jesus christ it is the substance the things have fulfilled david said i delight to
01:13:41.340 do your well jesus said i have come to do your well meaning that in theory and in practice right
01:13:46.800 information transformation old testament new testament huge delineation y'all picking up
01:13:52.400 what i'm putting down yeah trying and doing well not just not only that but david is a picture of
01:13:59.140 jesus he is in a part of the lineage of christ he's a picture of christ and that he was the best
01:14:05.100 king that israel had until jesus christ and now we have a forever reigning and ruling king and high
01:14:10.720 priest. But the thing that I'm getting at is David is saying, I delight to do your will.
01:14:16.160 He couldn't because he was still under the sacrifice of bulls and goats. Jesus, he came
01:14:22.220 and he fulfilled it. He fulfilled the will of the Father. Not only that, but he was the only one that
01:14:26.220 could do it. So the shadow, I keep getting those things mixed up, y'all. The shadow is a picture
01:14:34.180 of David, but the substance is in the person of Christ because David, us, put us in that state
01:14:40.460 We could never, we delight in doing God's will whenever our hearts are aligned with the Father.
01:14:45.960 We want to please Him because we know that that is where our full identity
01:14:49.560 and all the fruits of the Spirit come from when we're aligned with Him.
01:14:52.560 But we could never fulfill the law because we had fallen.
01:14:56.120 Isaiah 51, because I said this last time, but I never read it.
01:15:00.500 Or Psalm 51, sorry.
01:15:02.960 I'm all over the place, y'all.
01:15:04.300 I'm sorry, I'm just going to, we're just freestyling now.
01:15:07.980 Behold, verse 5.
01:15:09.400 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
01:15:16.820 We could never fulfill what Jesus did.
01:15:21.820 No angel could ever fulfill what Jesus did.
01:15:25.660 And that's the crazy thing is that whenever God wanted to save the world,
01:15:28.660 he didn't send a man, he didn't send a woman, he didn't send an angel,
01:15:33.240 he didn't send an animal, he sent his son,
01:15:36.620 because he was the only one that was going to be able to do it.
01:15:39.400 And so what I'm getting at is that David delighted in doing the will of God because it was his spirit on David that enabled him to do it.
01:15:53.700 But like we talked about last episode, that Jesus had to die for us to receive the spirit.
01:16:00.320 He had to go.
01:16:01.360 He had to ascend at the right hand of the Father so that the helper would come.
01:16:04.940 but david delighted in jesus fulfilled so i just i just no that's good bro that's heavy man
01:16:13.340 that's like popping i love what you're saying it's like you know there was this law that there
01:16:16.840 was to live under but if anything the law just showed us that you can't live under the law that's
01:16:20.840 right like you can only fulfill obedience to god by his grace by his spirit inside of you like
01:16:26.540 you're not going to do it in your own strength all right we got to wrap it up because top's
01:16:30.120 getting a little antsy so um we just want to thank everybody for coming i don't know if you
01:16:34.000 want to close out with anything otis or if you guys want to say anything in closing or we'll just
01:16:39.020 wrap this thing up man where uh where am i there we go all right um the only thing that i would
01:16:47.120 close on is just is pointing to the fulfilled finished work of jesus christ that he was fully
01:16:52.040 god fully man and the work is fully finished that in the beginning god created this perfect design
01:16:56.540 out of love which is you but in our perfect design like we talked about we were born into a broken
01:17:01.880 sinful and fallen world. And we were kicked out of that perfect design. And now what do we try to
01:17:07.340 do with stuff when we're broken? We try to fix it. Well, how do we as human beings try to fix it
01:17:10.900 through sex, money, drugs, alcohol, and success? We chase after these vices to fill a God-shaped
01:17:15.780 hole in our heart with human-shaped desires. And we wonder why we're always left empty.
01:17:19.680 God knew he had the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world. His intelligence is
01:17:26.100 already there and it's immeasurable. So what he did was he sent his son Jesus down to earth
01:17:30.980 in the flesh, and He died on the cross. Whenever He died on the cross, He paid for your sin,
01:17:35.820 and He rose again on the third day. And in doing so, He opened up a doorway back for you into a
01:17:41.360 relationship with Him. And how do we receive that through the process of repentance, through turning
01:17:45.500 away from our sin, picking up our cross, and following after Him? Jesus says, I am the way,
01:17:49.440 the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me. When we answer that call,
01:17:53.560 we get restored and redeemed back into the relationship that we have with our Father
01:17:57.580 before the foundation of the world.
01:18:00.520 And in doing so, we become a new creation.
01:18:03.440 The Bible would say that if anybody is in Christ,
01:18:05.660 he's a new creation.
01:18:06.420 The old is gone and the new is here.
01:18:07.960 And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.
01:18:10.420 The blood of Jesus is the final work.
01:18:13.840 That is, we no longer have a barrier
01:18:15.780 that is separating us from our father in heaven.
01:18:18.040 The only thing that is stopping us now
01:18:20.560 from a relationship with God
01:18:21.700 is the decision that we have today to do so.
01:18:23.560 So if you guys have heard the good news today,
01:18:27.220 and I pray that you would mix it with faith
01:18:29.680 and that the gospel would not land on follow ground,
01:18:33.980 but you would actually do something with this information.
01:18:36.400 It's a lot of fun.
01:18:37.700 And I love getting to talk with these guys,
01:18:39.440 but more importantly, my heart is for the lost to come home.
01:18:43.140 So maybe if you have been running away from Jesus
01:18:45.720 or maybe you don't have a relationship with him,
01:18:47.600 I pray that if you're under the sound of my voice,
01:18:49.540 that the deceiver would not be able to come
01:18:51.820 and take the seed that has been planted,
01:18:53.440 that you would act that the Lord
01:18:54.600 would send somebody to water it
01:18:55.980 or in this moment that the scales of your eyes would fall off
01:18:58.620 and that you would be restored in your relationship with the Father in heaven
01:19:01.300 because he loves you.
01:19:02.460 He is not a distant, is active and impersonal and intimate,
01:19:06.060 and he cares deeply about you, and he wants all of his children to come home.
01:19:09.940 He wishes none would perish but all to come to repentance
01:19:12.740 and come to the knowledge that his son is enough.
01:19:25.980 We'll be right back.
