055: Josh Hodge – The Pillar and Ground of the Truth

1
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:15,300
Welcome to the good Christian
talks podcast.

2
00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:18,100
I’m Levi and I’m Chris.
Thank you so much for joining us

3
00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800
this week on this podcast.
We select one taco week to help

4
00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:26,600
each one of us get the Bible in
our daily news feed.

5
00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
We post at the start of each
week for you to listen.

6
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
With a short intro before hand
to kind of set the stage for the

7
00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
talk.
You’re about to hear and now

8
00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
let’s hear more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:47,400
I want to start this week’s
intro just by apologizing to

10
00:00:47,408 –> 00:00:50,000
everyone for the talk being a
little late this week.

11
00:00:50,900 –> 00:00:53,700
It’s been a particularly trying
week with the fires that are in

12
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:56,000
the area of my house has been
going through some some power

13
00:00:56,000 –> 00:00:59,500
outages, which is made getting
some time to record the intro to

14
00:00:59,508 –> 00:01:03,200
be challenging.
It’s been a good reminder of God

15
00:01:03,200 –> 00:01:06,600
providing and putting things in
place to to remind you that

16
00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:10,300
despite all the modern
conveniences we have going on

17
00:01:11,000 –> 00:01:13,500
around us that so much is in his
control.

18
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:16,400
And I feel like the end of this
week has been something that’s

19
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:18,500
been a good reminder for for me
for that.

20
00:01:18,900 –> 00:01:22,000
So thank you for everyone for
your patience.

21
00:01:22,000 –> 00:01:23,700
And hope you enjoyed the talk of
this week.

22
00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:26,800
The class were listening to is
one that was given at the

23
00:01:26,800 –> 00:01:30,700
Ontario for internal Gathering
just as past year and is the

24
00:01:30,708 –> 00:01:34,900
second class from that weekend
that was given by a brother Josh

25
00:01:34,900 –> 00:01:36,900
Hodges.
I don’t actually know what

26
00:01:36,900 –> 00:01:41,100
Ecclesia Josh’s from other than
I can tell he’s from Canada and

27
00:01:41,100 –> 00:01:43,300
you’ll be able to tell really
quick when you hear him.

28
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:47,900
Giving his talk the subject for
the Fraternal was looking at

29
00:01:47,900 –> 00:01:51,800
First Timothy and one of the
things that was unique about

30
00:01:51,800 –> 00:01:54,300
this one as every class was
taught by a different speaker.

31
00:01:54,300 –> 00:01:57,300
So it kind of gives a different
flavor for each talk and for the

32
00:01:57,308 –> 00:02:01,200
second class that is titled the
pillar and ground of the truth

33
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:03,200
brother.
Josh is looking at the second

34
00:02:03,200 –> 00:02:06,900
and third chapters of First
Timothy and just kind of

35
00:02:06,900 –> 00:02:10,800
discussing the some of the key
points that are outlined in

36
00:02:10,800 –> 00:02:15,100
those two chapters and what I
really appreciated, from Brother

37
00:02:15,100 –> 00:02:19,300
Josh with his talk is that he
takes a topic about men and

38
00:02:19,300 –> 00:02:23,000
women’s roles and the roles of
husbands and wives and takes a

39
00:02:23,000 –> 00:02:27,600
very matter of fact look at it
from the perspective of just

40
00:02:28,300 –> 00:02:31,300
what the scriptures say and how
we can apply that to our lives

41
00:02:31,300 –> 00:02:34,400
and does it in a way that I feel
was a really good way of

42
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:36,800
approaching especially in the
kind of the climate of today’s

43
00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:41,500
society, which I found to be a
really good way to consider

44
00:02:41,500 –> 00:02:45,800
these passages and kind of puts
it in perspective of how these

45
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:47,800
first principles along with so
many of the other first

46
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:52,200
principles that we believe are
the basis of the foundation of

47
00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:55,300
our faith and how we approach
the truth and how we understand

48
00:02:55,300 –> 00:02:58,900
it a really really good class.
The whole series was really neat

49
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:02,900
being able to have a different
speaker each time.

50
00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:05,700
There were different things
about each speaker that you

51
00:03:05,708 –> 00:03:07,600
would like as you would listen
to the class.

52
00:03:07,900 –> 00:03:09,900
But all of the brothers did a
really good job of keeping a

53
00:03:09,908 –> 00:03:13,500
consistent theme of the passage
in the book.

54
00:03:13,600 –> 00:03:16,900
First Timothy and applying that
as it went all the way to the

55
00:03:16,900 –> 00:03:19,600
end.
So again, sorry for being a

56
00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:21,100
little bit late.
This will probably end up being

57
00:03:21,100 –> 00:03:24,500
a double in this week just to
kind of catch up but really

58
00:03:24,500 –> 00:03:28,300
excited to share this class by
brother Josh Hodges titled the

59
00:03:28,300 –> 00:03:30,100
pillar and the ground of the
truth.

60
00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:35,100
Well my dear brothers and
sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ

61
00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:42,400
It was the sons of Korah that
said my soul longeth.

62
00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:46,300
Yeah even fainted for the courts
of Yahweh.

63
00:03:47,700 –> 00:03:51,300
This was a faithful family who
desired more than anything else

64
00:03:51,900 –> 00:03:55,400
to be in those courts to be part
of the house of God.

65
00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:02,400
So much so that Psalm 84 says
they are envious over small

66
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:07,100
bird.
Over a sparrow that made its

67
00:04:07,100 –> 00:04:11,900
nest in the house of God.
Now this longing wasn’t merely

68
00:04:11,900 –> 00:04:15,700
for the building itself, but for
the fellowship with the

69
00:04:15,700 –> 00:04:19,100
brethren.
For the protection from the

70
00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:24,600
world for the Comforts of the
truth for the love of God and

71
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:27,300
for the glorification of the
deity.

72
00:04:29,300 –> 00:04:33,000
And really this is our theme
together this weekend, isn’t it?

73
00:04:33,300 –> 00:04:37,600
The theme of the house of God
and is found in the chapters

74
00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:43,800
before us if you look at First
Timothy in chapter 3 reading

75
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:52,400
from verse 14 There it says
these things write I unto thee

76
00:04:53,300 –> 00:04:56,800
hoping to come unto these
shortly what things were these

77
00:04:56,800 –> 00:05:00,200
these were the things he had
previously written in chapter 1

78
00:05:00,200 –> 00:05:05,600
2 and 3 he says, but if I
tearing long these things have

79
00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:10,000
been given to you that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest to

80
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:15,500
behave or to conduct thyself in
the house of God.

81
00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:22,300
But what is the house of God?
We actually have a definition

82
00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:29,600
because it goes on to say verse
15, which is the Ecclesia the

83
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:32,700
called out ones the assembly the
congregation.

84
00:05:32,900 –> 00:05:37,800
It’s the people that God dwells
in that forms the house of God.

85
00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:44,300
The Ecclesia of the Living God
it says the pillar and ground of

86
00:05:44,300 –> 00:05:49,100
the truth.
Now did you notice that it said

87
00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:55,500
Living God it didn’t have to but
the point is that God dwells in

88
00:05:55,500 –> 00:05:59,300
living people.
He’s alive and he’s active in

89
00:05:59,300 –> 00:06:02,800
our midst.
And he’s working with people.

90
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:07,600
That have taken on his Spirit
thinking.

91
00:06:08,900 –> 00:06:13,200
And if that’s the god that we
worship then we ought to take on

92
00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:19,000
that same spirit and be alive be
Vibrance in our occlusions.

93
00:06:21,300 –> 00:06:24,200
And the pillar and ground of the
truth.

94
00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:30,500
This is where God’s truth
flourishes in our midst in the

95
00:06:30,500 –> 00:06:37,700
Ecclesia in the called out ones.
Now as we consider the house of

96
00:06:37,700 –> 00:06:42,100
God throughout scripture to
occurs in a number of places,

97
00:06:43,100 –> 00:06:46,600
but perhaps none better than a
fission is chapter 2 and chapter

98
00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:52,200
3 and there we learned that
Jesus Christ is the chief Corner

99
00:06:52,200 –> 00:06:54,500
Stone upon which the house is
built.

100
00:06:55,100 –> 00:06:58,900
We learned that the apostles and
the prophets lay the foundation

101
00:06:58,900 –> 00:07:02,000
for us through the scriptures
which we read.

102
00:07:04,500 –> 00:07:08,000
And Ephesians 2 and 3 talks
about this building of people

103
00:07:08,200 –> 00:07:10,300
and it talks about how it’s
alive.

104
00:07:12,000 –> 00:07:17,200
It talks about it being fitly
framed how it groweth.

105
00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:21,800
That’s a term which teaches us.
It’s a live at groweth unto a

106
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:24,900
holy Temple.
It’s builded together again in

107
00:07:24,900 –> 00:07:29,700
Ephesians 3, it’s rooted and
grounded more language of a

108
00:07:29,700 –> 00:07:35,000
building that’s alive the breath
and the length the depth and the

109
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:39,300
height.
Ephesians speaks of the same

110
00:07:39,300 –> 00:07:45,900
building and you know in those
two chapters it says that that

111
00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:53,900
building exists. for a
habitation of God It says in

112
00:07:53,900 –> 00:07:58,000
chapter 3 that Christ May dwell
in our hearts.

113
00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:01,400
That’s a wonderful thing to
think about that.

114
00:08:01,400 –> 00:08:06,000
God is here in our midst.
We create that building for God

115
00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:10,500
based on his truth.
And his ways because it’s the

116
00:08:10,500 –> 00:08:19,300
pillar and ground of the truth.
But for a house to function

117
00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:23,800
smoothly.
Perhaps to be alive and vibrant

118
00:08:23,800 –> 00:08:28,600
and wholesome and healthy.
It has to be upon the sound

119
00:08:28,700 –> 00:08:34,100
principles of God.
There’s a lovely passage in

120
00:08:34,100 –> 00:08:38,799
Proverbs 24 verse 3.
It says through wisdom.

121
00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:45,700
Is in-house builded?
By understanding it is

122
00:08:45,700 –> 00:08:50,700
established.
And so we’re going to talk about

123
00:08:50,700 –> 00:08:54,400
three principles this afternoon
three principles and three

124
00:08:54,400 –> 00:08:59,300
aspects of God’s wisdom of his
understanding and those are

125
00:08:59,300 –> 00:09:06,900
found in Chapter 2 and 3.
The first one is chapter 2 verse

126
00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:10,600
1 to 7.
It’s all about prayer.

127
00:09:12,300 –> 00:09:15,000
We have chapter 2 and verse 8 to
15.

128
00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:19,600
It’s about roles of men and
women who work in the house of

129
00:09:19,600 –> 00:09:24,200
God.
And finally, we have chapter 3

130
00:09:24,300 –> 00:09:30,800
and verse 1 to 14, which is all
about leadership the Bishops and

131
00:09:30,800 –> 00:09:34,100
the deacons and those that serve
within the Ecclesia.

132
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:40,500
And here’s three aspects of
God’s wisdom that are a part of

133
00:09:40,500 –> 00:09:44,800
a collegial life the gods
direction for us how we ought to

134
00:09:44,800 –> 00:09:47,700
behave ourselves in the house of
God.

135
00:09:49,500 –> 00:09:54,900
And it’s the wisdom of Yahweh.
And through wisdom the house of

136
00:09:54,900 –> 00:10:00,500
God, which is the Ecclesia of
the Living God the pillar and

137
00:10:00,500 –> 00:10:06,000
ground of the truth is built and
by understanding that it is

138
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:09,600
established.
So let us begin then chapter 2

139
00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:17,400
verse 1 to 7.
It says there in verse 1 I

140
00:10:17,400 –> 00:10:20,300
exhort therefore that first of
all.

141
00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:25,000
Supplications prayers
intercessions and giving of

142
00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:32,600
thanks be made for all men.
Our communication with God our

143
00:10:32,600 –> 00:10:38,400
prayers to God is fundamental.
Acts 2 and verse 42 talking

144
00:10:38,400 –> 00:10:41,100
about the Believers who had just
been baptized in the Jerusalem

145
00:10:41,100 –> 00:10:44,600
the khaleja they continued
steadfastly in the apostles

146
00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:49,100
Doctrine and fellowship breaking
of bread and in prayers.

147
00:10:50,500 –> 00:10:52,700
It was an important part of the
Ecclesia.

148
00:10:54,800 –> 00:10:58,700
No, it says that prayers be made
for all men.

149
00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:03,800
It’s the Greek word anthrop us.
It’s referring to mankind.

150
00:11:05,100 –> 00:11:10,800
Two humans both men and women
are included in this term, but I

151
00:11:10,800 –> 00:11:15,000
suggest you that God isn’t
asking us to arbitrarily and

152
00:11:15,000 –> 00:11:19,400
universally pray for every
person that resides on Earth.

153
00:11:20,700 –> 00:11:24,300
But to pray for those in our
scope of reference without

154
00:11:24,300 –> 00:11:29,500
partiality.
Remembering that he is God and

155
00:11:29,500 –> 00:11:32,800
he has no pleasure in the death
of the wicked whether it’s a Jew

156
00:11:33,300 –> 00:11:39,400
or Gentile whether it’s a bond
or free a male or female or in

157
00:11:39,400 –> 00:11:44,500
this context a king or subject.
You see, sometimes we can

158
00:11:44,500 –> 00:11:48,400
Prejudice certain people in our
own minds and here in 1st

159
00:11:48,400 –> 00:11:52,700
Timothy to what might that have
been but the Kings because it

160
00:11:52,700 –> 00:11:54,900
says in verse to pray for all
men.

161
00:11:56,300 –> 00:12:00,800
And it specifically points out
for kings and all that are in

162
00:12:01,600 –> 00:12:06,800
authority.
God is asking us to consider

163
00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:11,800
those who we know and we might
cast down in our minds thinking

164
00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:17,300
they’re not worthy to be prayed
for the God says pray for them,

165
00:12:17,300 –> 00:12:23,400
too.
Four Kings Kings are people we

166
00:12:23,400 –> 00:12:25,400
would know pretty well people in
Authority.

167
00:12:25,400 –> 00:12:28,900
Timothy would have it.
We know the leaders of our

168
00:12:28,900 –> 00:12:32,300
country.
They are in the news.

169
00:12:33,900 –> 00:12:38,100
And they make decisions that
affect our lives and God says

170
00:12:38,100 –> 00:12:42,500
pray for them.
Do you know who the emperor was

171
00:12:42,500 –> 00:12:45,400
at the time that this was
written whether the early date

172
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:52,600
or the latter date has brother
Daryl has suggested. is Nero not

173
00:12:52,600 –> 00:12:57,800
an easy person to pray for and
if you take the latter date when

174
00:12:57,800 –> 00:13:03,500
this book was written.
Two-thirds of Rome had just been

175
00:13:03,500 –> 00:13:08,300
burnt to the ground and there
were rumors that were going

176
00:13:08,300 –> 00:13:11,600
around saying that it was Nero
who started the fire and so Nero

177
00:13:11,600 –> 00:13:14,400
wanted to divert the attention
to others.

178
00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:20,100
And so who did he divert it to
but this new group called the

179
00:13:20,100 –> 00:13:24,900
Christians.
And the Christians were gathered

180
00:13:25,300 –> 00:13:31,400
and they were slaughtered.
The Christians were the people

181
00:13:31,400 –> 00:13:36,200
that were torn apart by dogs.
The Christians were burnt alive

182
00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:43,000
as human torches.
And Paul says to Timothy pray

183
00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:48,600
for him.
Peter says honor all men honor

184
00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:53,100
the king.
And Paul says pray for all men

185
00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:57,200
pray for Kings.
Certain things in the truth are

186
00:13:57,200 –> 00:14:00,200
difficult.
They go against what we might

187
00:14:00,200 –> 00:14:05,700
naturally want to do.
You know, we live in an age

188
00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:14,100
where God is blasphemed. in the
universities God is eliminated

189
00:14:14,200 –> 00:14:18,500
from the schools.
God is challenged in the very

190
00:14:18,500 –> 00:14:22,500
structure of society.
He’s mocked in the workplace.

191
00:14:23,200 –> 00:14:26,200
And in many cases, it’s the
rulers of the land that guide

192
00:14:26,200 –> 00:14:29,700
and make these decisions that
influence all of this to happen.

193
00:14:30,600 –> 00:14:36,500
And the last thing we want to do
is pray for them. but even

194
00:14:36,500 –> 00:14:42,700
Christ says Pray for them which
despitefully use you and

195
00:14:42,700 –> 00:14:47,500
persecute you.
Now we do this for two reasons.

196
00:14:48,000 –> 00:14:55,500
You see in verse 2.
It says that we may be the quiet

197
00:14:56,900 –> 00:15:03,500
and Peaceable life know the word
quiet is talking about an Inward

198
00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:07,300
and outward piece is a contrast
to outward tumult.

199
00:15:09,700 –> 00:15:13,200
Where is the word Peaceable you
can think of it as the opposite

200
00:15:13,200 –> 00:15:20,400
of inward strife?
And we asked for this quiet and

201
00:15:20,400 –> 00:15:24,000
Peaceable life.
Not just that we avoid

202
00:15:24,000 –> 00:15:29,400
hindrance.
But that we might live it in

203
00:15:29,400 –> 00:15:35,200
godliness and honesty the word
godliness is you see Bia.

204
00:15:36,600 –> 00:15:40,100
It’s most often used in this
epistle.

205
00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:45,100
You see be a godliness God
likeness reverence to our God.

206
00:15:46,700 –> 00:15:52,400
and honesty living a life of
Integrity of Purity in our

207
00:15:52,400 –> 00:15:56,200
manner of Life recognizing our
position before God.

208
00:15:56,300 –> 00:15:59,700
This is the type of life.
We desire to live.

209
00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:06,300
So let us join together this
this weekend and Beyond to pray

210
00:16:06,300 –> 00:16:10,300
for our leaders that we might
continue to Worship in the

211
00:16:10,300 –> 00:16:17,700
manner that we do so now.
Verse 3 says this is good and

212
00:16:17,700 –> 00:16:21,200
acceptable in the sight of God
our savior.

213
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:23,900
And really this is the
transition verse two the second

214
00:16:23,900 –> 00:16:27,300
reason why we pray because did
you notice what it said about

215
00:16:27,300 –> 00:16:31,400
God?
It’s God our savior.

216
00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:36,100
We normally think of the Lord
Jesus Christ, don’t we as Our

217
00:16:36,100 –> 00:16:40,900
Savior But ultimately, it’s God
God is our savior.

218
00:16:41,200 –> 00:16:44,200
And when we think about it, God
has chosen us.

219
00:16:44,200 –> 00:16:49,800
We are his elect and we’re
thankful for that and he’s

220
00:16:49,800 –> 00:16:52,900
doesn’t show partiality when he
has chosen us.

221
00:16:54,300 –> 00:16:57,900
And so we ought not to show
partiality whom we pray for

222
00:16:58,500 –> 00:17:01,500
those that might enter our life
that need our prayers.

223
00:17:04,500 –> 00:17:08,900
God wants all men.
It says verse 4.

224
00:17:10,500 –> 00:17:14,900
And that word all men is the
same word all men of verse 1

225
00:17:15,400 –> 00:17:20,300
those that are to be prayed for
so God wants all men to be saved

226
00:17:20,400 –> 00:17:23,400
and to come unto the knowledge
of the truth.

227
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:29,800
And kings and leaders to wasn’t
it Paul that almost converted,

228
00:17:29,800 –> 00:17:34,100
Agrippa.
Is he because mankind is

229
00:17:34,100 –> 00:17:36,900
separated from God without
truth.

230
00:17:36,900 –> 00:17:39,400
They’re alienated from the
promises.

231
00:17:40,400 –> 00:17:43,700
They need to come to the truth.
They need repentance.

232
00:17:44,100 –> 00:17:48,600
And this idea of the truth is so
important to our community isn’t

233
00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:53,400
it to God’s house Paul uses it
there in verse 4, but it’s also

234
00:17:53,400 –> 00:17:59,100
found verse 7 Paul preaches and
he says I speak the truth in

235
00:17:59,100 –> 00:18:02,500
Christ and lie, not and he’s a
teacher of the Gentiles.

236
00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:07,500
In faith and Truth, which is the
word Verity.

237
00:18:09,600 –> 00:18:13,900
And isn’t it the house of God
the Ecclesia of the Living God

238
00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:17,700
the pillar and ground of the
truth.

239
00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:22,600
Is where the truth resides where
it’s elevated and promoted.

240
00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:30,100
And there’s no greater witness.
No greater evidence that God

241
00:18:30,100 –> 00:18:37,700
wants all men to be saved.
Then what it says in verse 6 who

242
00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:44,100
Christ who gave himself a ransom
for all?

243
00:18:46,100 –> 00:18:47,800
Because it was the Lord Jesus
Christ.

244
00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:54,900
That would bring man to God we
skip verse 5 because notice what

245
00:18:54,900 –> 00:19:01,000
it says there there is one God
and one mediator between God and

246
00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:06,700
man the man Christ Jesus.
Who asked the question?

247
00:19:07,800 –> 00:19:11,100
Why does it say one God one
mediator.

248
00:19:11,200 –> 00:19:12,800
Have you thought about that
before?

249
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:18,600
One God and one mediator.
It’s important, isn’t it?

250
00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:21,100
It’s part of the first
commandment hear o Israel the

251
00:19:21,100 –> 00:19:24,600
Lord.
Our God is one Lord.

252
00:19:26,500 –> 00:19:31,500
And it’s because man is
separated from God.

253
00:19:33,500 –> 00:19:40,300
But God is a unity in his
thinking in his character in his

254
00:19:40,300 –> 00:19:44,100
spirit.
I want you to turn with me to

255
00:19:44,100 –> 00:19:47,900
Galatians Galatians chapter 3
because this concept of the

256
00:19:47,900 –> 00:19:52,800
mediator and this concept of one
God of hers again, and it helps

257
00:19:52,800 –> 00:20:05,500
explain what this means.
Now the context of Galatians 3.

258
00:20:05,500 –> 00:20:12,500
We already looked at in class 1
the law highlighted man sinned

259
00:20:12,900 –> 00:20:17,200
it highlighted that man was
separate from God because of his

260
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:21,200
sins.
And also talks about how the law

261
00:20:21,200 –> 00:20:24,500
would be done away with when
Christ The Promised seed came.

262
00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:29,700
These are two covenants the New
Covenant and the old Covenant.

263
00:20:30,600 –> 00:20:34,100
But the New Covenant was the
Covenant that removed sins that

264
00:20:34,100 –> 00:20:37,800
the old Covenant highlighted,
but they are both brought about

265
00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:44,200
by a mediator.
And see what it says in verse 20

266
00:20:45,100 –> 00:20:50,200
now a mediator is not a mediator
of one.

267
00:20:51,600 –> 00:20:56,000
But God is one.
What does that mean?

268
00:20:57,500 –> 00:21:00,400
Mediator is not a mediator of
one but God is one.

269
00:21:01,800 –> 00:21:04,200
And you don’t have a mediator.
You don’t have someone who

270
00:21:04,200 –> 00:21:08,000
brings a covenant if there’s no
need for it, but there was a

271
00:21:08,008 –> 00:21:12,200
need because there were two
there was man and there was God

272
00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:18,300
God is one he is a unity and he
wants man to be brought to him

273
00:21:19,200 –> 00:21:23,500
to be United and character and
purpose and understanding and

274
00:21:23,500 –> 00:21:28,900
that’s why the Lord Jesus Christ
came to remove sin. through the

275
00:21:28,900 –> 00:21:34,900
face of individuals and through
taking on his name and that is

276
00:21:34,900 –> 00:21:43,800
why we have verse 28 have a look
at verse 28 because when we take

277
00:21:43,800 –> 00:21:46,900
on the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ in the waters of baptism

278
00:21:46,900 –> 00:21:51,300
it says there is neither Jew nor
Greek Bond or free male or

279
00:21:51,300 –> 00:21:57,700
female.
Ye are all one in Christ Jesus

280
00:22:00,100 –> 00:22:06,800
And what a wonderful thing that
is and so we ought to pray that.

281
00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:12,900
All men are saved and come to a
knowledge of the truth that they

282
00:22:12,900 –> 00:22:17,700
might be one with God for he is
one.

283
00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:27,600
And so a main point from this
section on prayer, it’s

284
00:22:27,600 –> 00:22:31,600
fundamental to communicate with
our Father in heaven without

285
00:22:31,600 –> 00:22:37,400
distinction without partiality.
In the house of God God’s house

286
00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:43,200
should be a House of Prayer.
And a key lesson that comes from

287
00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:48,500
this we must pray for the
leaders of our land that we can

288
00:22:48,500 –> 00:22:52,300
live a quiet and Peaceable life
in all godliness and honesty we

289
00:22:52,300 –> 00:22:57,000
must recognize that we are
afforded harmony with our God

290
00:22:57,000 –> 00:23:00,600
through Christ.
And this same Harmony we should

291
00:23:00,600 –> 00:23:08,700
desire that others have as well.
This is the wisdom of Yahweh.

292
00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:13,800
And it’s through wisdom that the
house of God.

293
00:23:15,300 –> 00:23:18,600
The Ecclesia of the Living God
the pillar and the ground of the

294
00:23:18,600 –> 00:23:23,000
truth is built and by
understanding that it is

295
00:23:23,000 –> 00:23:28,500
established.
Well now move on to the next

296
00:23:28,500 –> 00:23:32,400
section the next aspect of God’s
wisdom how we are to conduct

297
00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:40,700
ourselves in the house of God.
And it starts in verse 8 and

298
00:23:40,700 –> 00:23:43,900
speaks of roles.
So we looked at prayer but who

299
00:23:43,900 –> 00:23:50,200
is to pray?
Verse 8 says I will therefore

300
00:23:50,200 –> 00:23:55,100
that men pray everywhere and is
important to mention brothers

301
00:23:55,100 –> 00:23:57,900
and sisters that word men is
different than the word men of

302
00:23:57,900 –> 00:24:04,900
verse 1 and verse 4.
It’s a word which means man as

303
00:24:04,900 –> 00:24:14,200
distinct from woman. males and
where are they to pray?

304
00:24:14,200 –> 00:24:18,200
It says I will therefore that
men pray everywhere and the

305
00:24:18,208 –> 00:24:22,300
context is the house of God.
It’s something that the public

306
00:24:22,300 –> 00:24:25,200
prayer where Believers are
gathered together much like we

307
00:24:25,200 –> 00:24:28,300
are now to form the Ecclesia of
living God.

308
00:24:30,300 –> 00:24:32,900
It’s not referring to the
private prayer.

309
00:24:35,200 –> 00:24:39,900
No men are to pray everywhere
and there’s two aspects to how

310
00:24:39,900 –> 00:24:41,900
they are to pray.
It says lifting up.

311
00:24:41,900 –> 00:24:44,300
Holy hands without wrath and
doubting.

312
00:24:46,800 –> 00:24:50,000
Prayers were to be genuine but
notice that it was put in the

313
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:54,000
negative almost as if it may
have been happening at that time

314
00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:56,600
and surely it would have it
would have been difficult to

315
00:24:56,600 –> 00:25:00,000
pray for Nero without wrath to
pray for the leaders that were

316
00:25:00,000 –> 00:25:08,200
persecuting your brethren that
were killing them. and without

317
00:25:08,200 –> 00:25:15,400
doubting our prayers have to be
given knowing that God will

318
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:18,900
answer them according to how he
knows his best according to his.

319
00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:27,600
Divine will but that was without
wrath and doubting that’s

320
00:25:27,600 –> 00:25:32,300
talking about the inner man.
Brother offered Nichols says an

321
00:25:32,300 –> 00:25:36,700
attitude of body implies an
attitude of mind and so will

322
00:25:36,700 –> 00:25:39,000
notice that they were to do so
lifting up.

323
00:25:39,000 –> 00:25:41,600
Holy hands.
It seems to be an illusion back

324
00:25:41,600 –> 00:25:46,000
to the Old Testament where they
lifted up their hands a sign of

325
00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:50,300
spiritual thinking and there’s
many prayer positions in

326
00:25:50,300 –> 00:25:54,400
scripture hands uplifted
standing and respect sitting

327
00:25:54,400 –> 00:25:56,500
meditation.
Teta Vliet kneeling and humility

328
00:25:56,800 –> 00:26:00,600
looking up and one we’re
probably most familiar with is

329
00:26:00,600 –> 00:26:07,500
bowing our heads.
But it was this outward man.

330
00:26:08,000 –> 00:26:10,300
That was a reflection of the
inward man.

331
00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:16,800
And our prayers have to be
without wrath and in faith.

332
00:26:16,800 –> 00:26:22,100
And so as we pray for a dispute
to be solved as we pray for the

333
00:26:22,108 –> 00:26:25,400
leaders of our country who would
mock our God.

334
00:26:26,600 –> 00:26:30,500
As we pray for maybe the young
people that are struggling as we

335
00:26:30,500 –> 00:26:33,600
pray for the Brotherhood to
remain pure and Doctrine and

336
00:26:33,600 –> 00:26:37,100
practice as we pray for the
unity of the Brotherhood as we

337
00:26:37,100 –> 00:26:42,200
pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Let us do so with that genuine

338
00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:45,000
spirit and with the eye of
faith.

339
00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:51,600
And it tells us Brothers of the
massive responsibility.

340
00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:56,100
We have to set our lives
straight to focus our minds

341
00:26:56,100 –> 00:26:59,900
above to voice in our prayers
that which is edifying for all

342
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:04,600
to direct our words to God and
reverence to express our

343
00:27:04,600 –> 00:27:08,600
faithful thoughts appropriately
according to the specific

344
00:27:08,600 –> 00:27:14,500
occasion at hand and as best as
possible to not wander into the

345
00:27:14,500 –> 00:27:20,200
lethargic cliches and Stations
that are unfit for the prayer

346
00:27:20,200 –> 00:27:25,200
attend.
Because as we pray know this the

347
00:27:25,200 –> 00:27:32,100
word holy there in verse 8.
Occurs seven other times one of

348
00:27:32,108 –> 00:27:35,100
them is very similar to this
context, but three of them

349
00:27:35,100 –> 00:27:40,700
describe Our God and three of
them describe the Lord Jesus

350
00:27:40,700 –> 00:27:44,700
Christ.
And so as we pray we are to be

351
00:27:44,700 –> 00:27:49,600
as God and as the Lord Jesus
Christ, what a huge

352
00:27:49,600 –> 00:27:55,300
responsibility that is.
Now verse 10 verse 9 says in

353
00:27:55,300 –> 00:27:58,100
like manner.
Also, the following verses are

354
00:27:58,100 –> 00:28:02,400
direct comparisons a flow of
thoughts necessary to be read

355
00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:08,400
together complementary
principles and we’d suggest to

356
00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:12,900
you that the phrase an attitude
of body implies an attitude of

357
00:28:12,900 –> 00:28:19,000
mind is applicable here as well.
There is the outward man, which

358
00:28:19,000 –> 00:28:22,500
is to be a reflection of the
inward man or the inward woman

359
00:28:22,500 –> 00:28:27,300
as we will find easy verse 9
says in like manner also that

360
00:28:27,300 –> 00:28:31,200
women Adorn themselves and it’s
going to give a list of how they

361
00:28:31,200 –> 00:28:36,100
are to Adorn themselves, but
verse 10 says but which becometh

362
00:28:36,100 –> 00:28:42,700
women professing godliness?
That is the inward man right

363
00:28:42,700 –> 00:28:45,700
there.
What they profess professing is

364
00:28:45,700 –> 00:28:51,000
a strong word.
It means to promise most of the

365
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:54,400
time it’s used of God’s promise
to us.

366
00:28:57,000 –> 00:28:59,600
And the woman was to promise
godliness.

367
00:28:59,900 –> 00:29:07,100
She was to have this conviction.
Godliness is the word Theo see

368
00:29:07,100 –> 00:29:10,500
Bia is very similar to the word
godliness in verse 2 of a life

369
00:29:10,500 –> 00:29:18,800
that we all try to live. with
reverence and respect And so

370
00:29:18,800 –> 00:29:23,400
what the woman was to wear was
only a reflection of the inward

371
00:29:23,400 –> 00:29:29,600
man.
So what was the woman supposed

372
00:29:29,600 –> 00:29:33,500
to wear?
What is she supposed to Adorn

373
00:29:33,500 –> 00:29:39,900
herself with?
Specifically meeting with others

374
00:29:39,900 –> 00:29:44,400
coming to the house of God.
Well, it says with modest

375
00:29:44,400 –> 00:29:49,600
apparel the word modest apparel
means well-arranged seemly

376
00:29:49,700 –> 00:29:52,400
modest.
This is all about the standard

377
00:29:52,400 –> 00:30:02,200
of God. conforming to his
standard and so propriety before

378
00:30:02,200 –> 00:30:05,100
God is to be adopted and what is
Warren?

379
00:30:07,200 –> 00:30:10,600
And then it says with
shamefacedness now, this is a

380
00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:13,900
unique word and just occurs one
other time.

381
00:30:15,500 –> 00:30:18,700
And if you look it up, it means
a sense of shame or honor

382
00:30:19,300 –> 00:30:24,200
modesty bashfulness reverence
Hebrews. 12:28 is the only other

383
00:30:24,200 –> 00:30:28,200
currents and it means to serve
God acceptably with reverence

384
00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:31,000
and godly fear and it’s the word
reverence.

385
00:30:32,100 –> 00:30:35,900
Is the same Greek word and when
you take that into

386
00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:40,100
consideration, it seems to be
all about the position the

387
00:30:40,100 –> 00:30:43,000
recognition of God in our
position before him.

388
00:30:44,500 –> 00:30:49,200
It’s an attitude of knowing
where God is and where we stand.

389
00:30:51,000 –> 00:30:55,600
And so there is to be a position
before God that is to be adopted

390
00:30:55,600 –> 00:31:00,200
one of humility.
And then there’s sobriety.

391
00:31:01,200 –> 00:31:05,800
The soundness of mind that means
self control the related word is

392
00:31:05,800 –> 00:31:09,400
an adjective in it.
It means to be saying in one

393
00:31:09,400 –> 00:31:12,400
sense is curving one’s desires
and impulses.

394
00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:18,900
This is about being wise in how
we Adorn ourselves not going

395
00:31:18,900 –> 00:31:22,400
with our natural desires and our
tendencies.

396
00:31:23,800 –> 00:31:27,200
And so Prudence before God is to
be adopted.

397
00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:34,000
And how we Adorn ourselves and
finally it says not with broided

398
00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:39,800
hair or gold or pearls or costly
array that’s all about the

399
00:31:39,800 –> 00:31:43,500
riches and the opulence of the
world and the rich are the the

400
00:31:43,500 –> 00:31:47,500
trendsetters aren’t they the
force behind the movements that

401
00:31:47,500 –> 00:31:52,900
are empty self-absorbed Fashions
consumed by one’s own image

402
00:31:52,900 –> 00:31:58,400
rather than the image. of the
Elohim it’s all about the

403
00:31:58,400 –> 00:32:02,800
progression of the world.
How they like to progress and

404
00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:07,300
display themselves.
And Paul says to Timothy that is

405
00:32:07,300 –> 00:32:13,800
to be avoided progression of the
world is to be avoided.

406
00:32:16,000 –> 00:32:19,800
But it’s not enough to profess
godliness by our intentions nor

407
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:24,400
is it enough to dress in
godliness by his standards, but

408
00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:29,600
we must also Express godliness
by our works all are required

409
00:32:29,600 –> 00:32:32,600
according to the scriptures
because have a look at verse 10.

410
00:32:33,600 –> 00:32:37,000
The woman were to Adorn
themselves based on that inner

411
00:32:37,000 –> 00:32:42,400
conviction of verse 10, but it
ends with with good works.

412
00:32:44,000 –> 00:32:50,800
All are required. in the eyes of
God And then we move on to verse

413
00:32:50,800 –> 00:32:54,600
11.
It says let the woman learn in

414
00:32:54,600 –> 00:32:58,700
Silence with all subjection, but
I suffer not a woman to teach

415
00:32:58,700 –> 00:33:04,000
nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to be in Silence the

416
00:33:04,000 –> 00:33:07,500
word silence is in found in Acts
22 and verse 2.

417
00:33:09,000 –> 00:33:12,400
Referring to a quiet and
attentive audience listening to

418
00:33:12,400 –> 00:33:19,900
a presenter and contrary to some
beliefs today men and women are

419
00:33:19,900 –> 00:33:23,300
different.
They’re different physically,

420
00:33:23,900 –> 00:33:27,400
they’re different emotionally
and they are given different

421
00:33:27,400 –> 00:33:33,700
roles.
I’m reading a book right now via

422
00:33:34,100 –> 00:33:37,400
brother is lip Collier.
He wrote a biography on Robert

423
00:33:37,400 –> 00:33:41,700
Roberts and he tells a story
Robert Roberts had travelled

424
00:33:41,700 –> 00:33:45,900
over to America 1888
specifically Buffalo actually

425
00:33:47,000 –> 00:33:48,700
and he wanted to make contact
with the man.

426
00:33:48,700 –> 00:33:51,200
He had made contact with a few
years ago.

427
00:33:51,500 –> 00:33:54,000
It doesn’t say if it was a
brother or not, but regardless

428
00:33:54,000 –> 00:33:57,900
he decides to travel to what he
thought was this this man’s

429
00:33:57,900 –> 00:34:01,800
house.
And it was pouring with rain

430
00:34:01,800 –> 00:34:06,600
that day and he knocked no
answer Zoey knocked more

431
00:34:06,600 –> 00:34:11,000
vigorously and still no answer
and happy to wait it out because

432
00:34:11,000 –> 00:34:12,400
it was pouring with rain
outside.

433
00:34:12,400 –> 00:34:15,500
He sat Under The Verandah until
well.

434
00:34:15,500 –> 00:34:18,900
He thought he heard some
chopping of wood and some some

435
00:34:18,900 –> 00:34:21,900
Footsteps in the house.
So we got got up and knocked

436
00:34:21,900 –> 00:34:26,300
with such force.
That brother is lip says Even a

437
00:34:26,300 –> 00:34:30,600
partially deaf man could hear
this knock and apparently this

438
00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:33,400
man was partially deaf, but
still no answer.

439
00:34:33,600 –> 00:34:36,699
So what did Robert Stewie he
decides to go around the back of

440
00:34:36,699 –> 00:34:41,199
the house climbs under some
barricade and as brother is lip

441
00:34:41,199 –> 00:34:43,800
says a horse.
I’d him suspiciously.

442
00:34:45,500 –> 00:34:50,199
No, I found a door that was
unlatched and he enters through

443
00:34:50,199 –> 00:34:53,500
the door and I quote going
forward.

444
00:34:53,500 –> 00:34:57,300
He found himself in a narrow
room with garments and domestic

445
00:34:57,300 –> 00:35:00,900
utensils and what he described
as orderly disorder.

446
00:35:02,300 –> 00:35:05,500
Now most men will understand
this apparently contradictory

447
00:35:05,500 –> 00:35:09,000
phrase.
Nothing is stored away in such a

448
00:35:09,008 –> 00:35:13,000
manner to satisfy a woman sense
of order, but everything is

449
00:35:13,000 –> 00:35:15,800
ready at hand much more ready
than if it would be if a woman

450
00:35:15,800 –> 00:35:18,900
were to tidy up says brother is
low.

451
00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:23,400
And what is brother is lips
point at this time while except

452
00:35:23,400 –> 00:35:26,900
to say that men are different
than women women in this

453
00:35:26,900 –> 00:35:30,700
regards.
Although it’s a fairly

454
00:35:30,700 –> 00:35:37,000
simplistic story and perhaps not
entirely true in the day and age

455
00:35:37,200 –> 00:35:40,000
with which we live.
I know many Brethren who are

456
00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:44,100
quite tidy.
But nevertheless brother is a

457
00:35:44,200 –> 00:35:48,500
point was men and women are
different and just to finish the

458
00:35:48,500 –> 00:35:51,100
story brother.
Robert still haven’t found the

459
00:35:51,100 –> 00:35:53,300
man yet.
So he searched room by room

460
00:35:53,300 –> 00:35:56,200
until he came across to this
very dimly lit room.

461
00:35:57,700 –> 00:36:00,800
You can’t really see but it
seemed to be the kitchen and

462
00:36:00,800 –> 00:36:02,900
there was a sofa against the
wall.

463
00:36:03,600 –> 00:36:09,100
And so groping around he seems
to think that there’s a man on

464
00:36:09,100 –> 00:36:14,700
the sofa and so he feels around
until he finally found what was

465
00:36:14,700 –> 00:36:20,700
a man’s nose.
And this man suddenly startled

466
00:36:20,700 –> 00:36:26,700
wakes up and the story ends that
this man profusely apologize for

467
00:36:26,700 –> 00:36:29,100
not being ready for this
surprise visit of brother

468
00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:34,100
Roberts.
And I suppose today that would

469
00:36:34,100 –> 00:36:36,500
be quite a bit different.
We had think that brother

470
00:36:36,500 –> 00:36:42,900
Roberts would have to apologize.
Well, there we go a story by

471
00:36:42,900 –> 00:36:47,600
Brother on brother Roberts one
of our Pioneer Brethren, but

472
00:36:47,600 –> 00:36:51,400
when we come together in the
Ecclesia of God, the principles

473
00:36:51,400 –> 00:36:56,400
behind roles are important the
world might mock us for them.

474
00:36:57,400 –> 00:37:01,600
But they’re Divine they deal
with that which is spiritual

475
00:37:01,600 –> 00:37:07,300
Heavenly and holy.
And Paul gives two very

476
00:37:07,300 –> 00:37:13,800
important reasons.
And the first reason happened

477
00:37:14,200 –> 00:37:19,000
before sin.
You see what it says verse 13

478
00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:23,400
for Adam was first formed then
Eve and it’s remarkable.

479
00:37:23,400 –> 00:37:26,400
Isn’t it?
The reason given was before sin

480
00:37:26,400 –> 00:37:30,600
even entered the world and so
the principle is timeless.

481
00:37:30,800 –> 00:37:34,500
It’s indisputable.
It’s not about culture.

482
00:37:36,100 –> 00:37:38,900
It was Adam who received and was
made responsible for The

483
00:37:38,900 –> 00:37:42,800
Obedience of God’s commands at
the first and no doubt would

484
00:37:42,800 –> 00:37:47,700
have to pass them on.
So the first reason was before

485
00:37:47,700 –> 00:37:52,800
sin and the second reason was
for sin have a look at verse 14

486
00:37:52,800 –> 00:37:57,500
and Adam was not deceived he
knew very much what he was doing

487
00:37:57,500 –> 00:38:02,500
when he protective the fruit but
the woman being deceived was in

488
00:38:02,500 –> 00:38:08,600
the transgression brother Alfred
Nichols says the emotional

489
00:38:08,600 –> 00:38:12,100
balance of her nature which
enabled her to exercise that

490
00:38:12,100 –> 00:38:19,500
sweet and beneficent influence
also allowed her to beguiled and

491
00:38:19,500 –> 00:38:25,300
when we consider the principles
here, we recognize that man is

492
00:38:25,300 –> 00:38:30,700
to uphold what he failed to do
to lead to teach and to direct

493
00:38:30,700 –> 00:38:35,200
and the woman is to uphold but
she failed to do to act in

494
00:38:35,200 –> 00:38:41,000
subjection to the man and if man
and woman can uphold these

495
00:38:41,000 –> 00:38:44,500
commands of God, it will create
a beautiful and harmonious

496
00:38:44,500 –> 00:38:49,000
relationship within the Ecclesia
and within marital life.

497
00:38:51,700 –> 00:38:54,900
And while these two principles
have very practical implications

498
00:38:54,900 –> 00:38:58,000
for how our cleavages are
operated in our lives run.

499
00:38:59,300 –> 00:39:02,100
It’s all a reflection of
something greater isn’t it?

500
00:39:03,200 –> 00:39:07,000
Which is another reason why we
should maintain these Divine

501
00:39:07,100 –> 00:39:10,800
principles and values.
You see it says in 2nd

502
00:39:10,800 –> 00:39:14,100
Corinthians 11 verse 2.
Paul says, I am jealous over you

503
00:39:14,100 –> 00:39:17,700
with a Godly jealousy.
I have espoused you to one

504
00:39:17,700 –> 00:39:22,700
husband that I may present you a
chaste virgin to Christ.

505
00:39:23,800 –> 00:39:28,200
He says to the Ecclesia the
group of Believers.

506
00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:33,200
You are a chaste virgin to your
husband Christ.

507
00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:38,700
But it’s all drawing on the same
story in Genesis because it says

508
00:39:38,700 –> 00:39:42,900
but I fear lest by any means as
the serpent beguiled Eve.

509
00:39:44,300 –> 00:39:46,500
Through his subtlety.
So your minds should be

510
00:39:46,500 –> 00:39:49,200
corrupted from the Simplicity
that is in Christ.

511
00:39:49,200 –> 00:39:52,300
And he was warning them of
another gospel.

512
00:39:52,300 –> 00:39:54,800
That could be preached another
Christ.

513
00:39:54,800 –> 00:40:00,200
It says another spirit.
And it’s the Ecclesia that is to

514
00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:02,900
submit to the Lord Jesus Christ,
isn’t it?

515
00:40:06,900 –> 00:40:10,700
Now we move on in verse 15
because it says notwithstanding

516
00:40:10,700 –> 00:40:14,400
she shall be saved in
childbearing if they continue in

517
00:40:14,400 –> 00:40:20,600
faith and love and Holiness with
sobriety Have you thought about

518
00:40:20,600 –> 00:40:23,900
that verse before what what it
means to be saved in

519
00:40:24,500 –> 00:40:27,900
childbearing.
Now, there are several

520
00:40:27,900 –> 00:40:32,100
interpretations of this
particular verse and that

521
00:40:32,100 –> 00:40:35,900
particular phrase.
And the first one is she will be

522
00:40:35,900 –> 00:40:40,800
saved by having children, but
this would imply that having

523
00:40:40,800 –> 00:40:43,300
children itself is a meritorious
Act.

524
00:40:44,400 –> 00:40:50,300
There’s Merit in act itself.
But it also puts a condition on

525
00:40:50,300 –> 00:40:53,100
some like the unmarried or the
childless wife.

526
00:40:54,600 –> 00:40:58,600
And puts them at a disadvantage.
And more importantly it goes

527
00:40:58,600 –> 00:41:01,000
against other scriptural
teachings, like first first

528
00:41:01,000 –> 00:41:04,500
Corinthians 7 where Paul
actually discourages marriage to

529
00:41:04,500 –> 00:41:11,700
some degree in that context.
The other theory is she will be

530
00:41:11,700 –> 00:41:14,200
saved by means of the
childbirth.

531
00:41:14,200 –> 00:41:18,000
That is to say.
The birth of Christ who is

532
00:41:18,008 –> 00:41:22,900
described in Genesis 3:15 as the
seed of the woman but notice

533
00:41:22,900 –> 00:41:25,900
verse 15.
It says she shall be saved.

534
00:41:25,900 –> 00:41:30,500
It’s the future tense.
Andy was around in Genesis 3 and

535
00:41:30,500 –> 00:41:34,900
Christ had come died resurrected
and ascended to his father long

536
00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:39,500
before this was written and
contextually would be odd to

537
00:41:39,500 –> 00:41:43,600
single out a woman as a
beneficiary of Christ any more

538
00:41:43,600 –> 00:41:48,600
than a man man and a woman are
both equal beneficiaries of the

539
00:41:48,600 –> 00:41:53,300
Salvation from Christ and it
doesn’t make calls Point any

540
00:41:53,300 –> 00:41:56,800
stronger because it doesn’t have
any implications for the women

541
00:41:57,100 –> 00:41:59,900
in contrast to many.
And with perhaps the exception

542
00:41:59,900 –> 00:42:02,600
of Mary and certainly that isn’t
the point.

543
00:42:03,200 –> 00:42:06,900
Well, there’s a third reason she
will come safely through

544
00:42:06,900 –> 00:42:10,500
childbirth.
It suggests that’s not a good

545
00:42:10,500 –> 00:42:13,700
understanding either because the
word safely in the context here

546
00:42:13,700 –> 00:42:18,100
is time about salvation verse
for has it who will have all men

547
00:42:18,100 –> 00:42:20,700
to be saved.
It’s the same word, but there’s

548
00:42:20,700 –> 00:42:25,500
time about salvation.
Besides the fact that there are

549
00:42:25,500 –> 00:42:30,100
women who do not meet the
criteria verse 15 faith and love

550
00:42:30,100 –> 00:42:34,100
and Holiness and sobriety who do
come through childbearing

551
00:42:34,100 –> 00:42:38,800
safely.
And there are some women who no

552
00:42:38,800 –> 00:42:40,400
doubt.
Adhere these principles and

553
00:42:40,400 –> 00:42:44,700
don’t come safely through.
So the last option which will

554
00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:47,500
suggest to you brothers and
sisters is that she will be

555
00:42:47,500 –> 00:42:51,800
saved by the way of her
childbearing that is not by the

556
00:42:51,800 –> 00:42:55,800
way of public ecclesial work or
usurping a man’s place, but by

557
00:42:55,800 –> 00:43:01,900
dedicating her life to the
nurture of the young Now while

558
00:43:01,900 –> 00:43:05,600
childbearing is in reference to
giving birth itself to give

559
00:43:05,600 –> 00:43:09,700
birth to a child really means to
become a mother as well and to

560
00:43:09,700 –> 00:43:12,900
inherit all those
responsibilities associated with

561
00:43:12,900 –> 00:43:21,500
it and having a child allows her
to uphold that faith and love

562
00:43:21,500 –> 00:43:26,900
and Holiness and sobriety. and
if it’s the previous context

563
00:43:26,900 –> 00:43:32,300
with Eve because he you’re the
woman was deceived and usurp the

564
00:43:32,300 –> 00:43:34,600
leadership position which led to
the sin.

565
00:43:36,200 –> 00:43:40,600
And thus death.
But when given a child or the

566
00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:44,600
responsibility of helping to
raise young she’s given a

567
00:43:44,600 –> 00:43:50,000
responsibility a commitment a
connection with a child that is

568
00:43:50,000 –> 00:43:54,100
so powerful and full of energy.
It puts the woman in a position

569
00:43:54,100 –> 00:43:58,300
to adhere those principles and
there’s no more important work

570
00:43:58,300 –> 00:44:00,200
than raising a Godly seed is
there.

571
00:44:02,000 –> 00:44:07,200
Because what can happen is first
Timothy 5 that Paul actually

572
00:44:07,200 –> 00:44:11,600
encourages the younger widows to
get married and to Bear children

573
00:44:11,600 –> 00:44:14,000
less.
They become it says idle

574
00:44:14,300 –> 00:44:19,900
toddlers And busybodies speaking
things, which they ought not and

575
00:44:19,900 –> 00:44:22,600
children would help mitigate
that problem.

576
00:44:25,700 –> 00:44:28,300
I suppose some would say that
sister.

577
00:44:28,300 –> 00:44:31,500
Hen and I haven’t hearkened to
Genesis 1 be fruitful and

578
00:44:31,500 –> 00:44:36,600
multiply yet.
But I do happen to work at a

579
00:44:36,608 –> 00:44:42,000
place with lots of children CHC
across delphine’s school and

580
00:44:42,400 –> 00:44:45,900
many a time.
I count them as my own but what

581
00:44:45,900 –> 00:44:51,700
you see there as well is sisters
and mothers who dedicate their

582
00:44:51,700 –> 00:44:56,700
lives and live out this verse
and verse 15, and it’s inspiring

583
00:44:56,700 –> 00:45:07,200
thing. but it also fits Genesis
3, which is The context as well

584
00:45:07,200 –> 00:45:11,000
because if we refer to Genesis 3
brothers and sisters, it says in

585
00:45:11,100 –> 00:45:14,700
verse 16 unto the woman I will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and

586
00:45:14,700 –> 00:45:20,000
thy conception in sorrow Thou
shalt bring forth children and

587
00:45:20,000 –> 00:45:23,300
thy desire shall be to thy
husband and he shall rule over

588
00:45:23,300 –> 00:45:26,900
thee and there we have all the
responsibilities of the woman

589
00:45:27,400 –> 00:45:33,200
and the roles in the Ecclesia.
There we see that if the man is

590
00:45:33,200 –> 00:45:37,200
to rule over her than he is to
be the leader in the teacher and

591
00:45:37,200 –> 00:45:41,400
she is to submit to that.
But she also has a

592
00:45:41,408 –> 00:45:45,100
responsibility of bringing forth
the children, but more than

593
00:45:45,100 –> 00:45:48,100
that.
We notice in the next verse to

594
00:45:48,100 –> 00:45:49,800
Adam.
It was said cursed is the ground

595
00:45:49,800 –> 00:45:54,100
for thy sake in sorrow shalt
thou eat of it and all the days

596
00:45:54,100 –> 00:45:58,000
of thy life.
Why would God put those two

597
00:45:58,000 –> 00:45:59,800
things like that?
Unless there was a

598
00:45:59,808 –> 00:46:03,800
responsibility for the man to
provide for the family and a

599
00:46:03,808 –> 00:46:07,400
responsibility for the woman to
raise the family.

600
00:46:07,800 –> 00:46:11,100
You see because those two words
sorrow are the same word.

601
00:46:12,300 –> 00:46:16,400
One relates to the woman
bringing forth children and

602
00:46:16,400 –> 00:46:20,200
raising children and one refers
to the man providing for the

603
00:46:20,200 –> 00:46:27,200
family.
The point isn’t just that they

604
00:46:27,200 –> 00:46:29,400
raise children though.
Is it because it’s supposed to

605
00:46:29,400 –> 00:46:35,800
be in faith and love and
Holiness with sobriety.

606
00:46:37,400 –> 00:46:40,000
And you know what special that
phrase faith in love.

607
00:46:40,000 –> 00:46:45,300
We find it in the previous
chapter verse 14 the Lord Jesus

608
00:46:45,300 –> 00:46:49,100
Christ had faith and love and
why did he have faith in love

609
00:46:49,100 –> 00:46:54,200
verse 14 The Satan love which is
in Christ Jesus.

610
00:46:54,500 –> 00:46:57,600
This is a faithful saying and
worthy of all acceptation.

611
00:46:59,400 –> 00:47:05,400
That Christ Jesus chapter 1
verse 15 came into the world to

612
00:47:05,400 –> 00:47:11,100
save sinners.
Isn’t that amazing Christ

613
00:47:11,100 –> 00:47:15,600
adopted faith and love and he
saves Sinners and the woman is

614
00:47:15,600 –> 00:47:19,900
being asked to adopt faith and
love and save her children to

615
00:47:19,900 –> 00:47:23,700
save The Young and the Ecclesia.
But what it really is is a

616
00:47:23,708 –> 00:47:29,900
reflection of her groom of the
Lord Jesus Christ of the man of

617
00:47:29,900 –> 00:47:36,900
her husband.
Unless in raising children and

618
00:47:36,900 –> 00:47:40,700
saving them she is the
opportunity to Mir the Lord

619
00:47:40,700 –> 00:47:48,100
Jesus Christ.
And so a key main point in this

620
00:47:48,100 –> 00:47:52,100
section regarding Brothers rules
specifically, we have another

621
00:47:52,100 –> 00:47:54,700
slide about sisters roles.
It says it is the brothers

622
00:47:54,700 –> 00:47:58,500
responsibility to pray publicly
and to teach in the house of

623
00:47:58,500 –> 00:48:02,600
God.
And a key lesson specifically

624
00:48:02,600 –> 00:48:05,200
for brothers.
They must take on this

625
00:48:05,200 –> 00:48:09,200
responsibility enthusiastically
and unconditionally adopt into

626
00:48:09,200 –> 00:48:14,800
their lives whether in the
Ecclesia or in the homes and

627
00:48:14,800 –> 00:48:18,500
four sisters regarding Brothers
rules sisters are to submit and

628
00:48:18,500 –> 00:48:23,000
learn in silence adopting
humility and spirit in dress and

629
00:48:23,000 –> 00:48:26,500
in Works, they are to empower
within the hearts of other

630
00:48:26,500 –> 00:48:29,500
sisters this submissive spirit
and Garner.

631
00:48:29,600 –> 00:48:33,600
In the hearts of men the will to
lead as members in the house of

632
00:48:33,600 –> 00:48:37,300
God.
Anna main point regarding

633
00:48:37,300 –> 00:48:43,200
sisters roles It is the primary
responsibility of sisters to

634
00:48:43,200 –> 00:48:48,300
raise children in the Lord as a
member in the house of God and

635
00:48:48,300 –> 00:48:51,200
this responsibility must be
embraced wholeheartedly in the

636
00:48:51,200 –> 00:48:55,100
raising of one’s own children or
by influencing and educating the

637
00:48:55,100 –> 00:48:57,600
young who reside in the house of
God.

638
00:48:57,800 –> 00:49:01,300
The power of example should
never be dismissed as one of the

639
00:49:01,300 –> 00:49:06,800
greatest teaching tools.
And the lesson for brothers

640
00:49:06,800 –> 00:49:11,400
about sisters roles Brothers
must champion and be a guardian

641
00:49:11,400 –> 00:49:15,700
for wives and mothers to
dedicate their lives to child

642
00:49:15,700 –> 00:49:20,100
rearing a work unparalleled in
the house of God.

643
00:49:23,500 –> 00:49:27,200
And this last chapter brothers
and sisters were going to just

644
00:49:27,200 –> 00:49:31,500
touch on a few brief points.
But it’s regarding the

645
00:49:31,508 –> 00:49:34,300
leadership.
The last aspect of God’s wisdom.

646
00:49:38,500 –> 00:49:42,400
For this is the wisdom of Yahweh
and is through wisdom that the

647
00:49:42,400 –> 00:49:46,300
house of God the Ecclesia of
living God the pillar and ground

648
00:49:46,300 –> 00:49:50,200
of the truth is built and by
understanding that it is

649
00:49:50,200 –> 00:49:54,300
established.
So notice verse 1 it talks about

650
00:49:54,300 –> 00:49:57,400
the Bishops.
If a man desire the office of a

651
00:49:57,400 –> 00:50:04,000
bishop, he desireth a good work.
And in verse 8 likewise must the

652
00:50:04,000 –> 00:50:07,300
deacons be grave.
So we have Bishops and deacons

653
00:50:07,300 –> 00:50:08,800
discussed here.
And I’d suggest to you.

654
00:50:08,800 –> 00:50:12,000
They’re two distinct
identifiable groups within the

655
00:50:12,000 –> 00:50:15,900
Ecclesia.
In fact Paul says in verse 1 of

656
00:50:15,900 –> 00:50:23,100
Philippians 1 he introduces
himself and then says to those

657
00:50:23,100 –> 00:50:28,500
at Philippi with the Bishops and
deacons two distinct groups

658
00:50:28,500 –> 00:50:32,000
there.
And if we consider the word

659
00:50:32,000 –> 00:50:37,500
Bishop from verse to a bishop,
then must be blameless and we

660
00:50:37,500 –> 00:50:41,400
look at how it’s used in the New
Testament and we look at what a

661
00:50:41,408 –> 00:50:43,700
bishop does in other words the
verb.

662
00:50:45,500 –> 00:50:49,300
We can learn a lot.
Because God is actually

663
00:50:49,900 –> 00:50:53,300
described as a bishop or doing
the work of a bishop.

664
00:50:54,500 –> 00:50:59,500
For he hath visited it says and
redeemed his people and the word

665
00:50:59,600 –> 00:51:01,400
visit.
There is the verb form of

666
00:51:01,400 –> 00:51:05,000
Bishop.
And we learned that Bishops are

667
00:51:05,000 –> 00:51:09,100
to be redeemers of their
Brethren from Death Moses did

668
00:51:09,100 –> 00:51:11,900
the work of a bishop and we
learn that Bishops are to be

669
00:51:11,900 –> 00:51:14,300
delivers of their Brethren from
sin.

670
00:51:16,100 –> 00:51:20,700
The Ephesian Elders were Bishops
and we learn that Bishops are to

671
00:51:20,700 –> 00:51:24,800
nourish their Brethren by the
word to be Defenders of the

672
00:51:24,800 –> 00:51:32,100
doctrine disciples generically.
We learned that they are to be

673
00:51:32,100 –> 00:51:34,600
visitors of their Brethren who
are sick.

674
00:51:37,000 –> 00:51:42,300
And finally Christ we learn that
Bishops are to be guardians of

675
00:51:42,300 –> 00:51:46,700
their Brethren’s lives.
What have wonderful

676
00:51:46,700 –> 00:51:49,100
responsibilities that Bishops
have?

677
00:51:50,300 –> 00:51:55,500
Now when you look at deacons and
deacons is a very generic word,

678
00:51:55,800 –> 00:52:00,400
but it does seem to be used here
as a specific group Deacon.

679
00:52:00,400 –> 00:52:03,100
If you were to look it up, it
means servant one who executes

680
00:52:03,100 –> 00:52:09,500
the commands of another.
So Bishops or deacons were

681
00:52:09,500 –> 00:52:11,500
probably The Bishop’s
assistance.

682
00:52:13,000 –> 00:52:18,200
And while Bishops are servants.
And Bishops could be deacons as

683
00:52:18,200 –> 00:52:20,800
well deacons aren’t necessarily
Bishops.

684
00:52:23,700 –> 00:52:27,800
So I’ll give you an example of
how this word is used John 12:26

685
00:52:28,200 –> 00:52:31,300
If any man serve me let him
follow me and where I am there

686
00:52:31,300 –> 00:52:36,700
shall also my servant be my
Deacon be is used of every

687
00:52:36,700 –> 00:52:39,200
follower of Christ in that
manner.

688
00:52:40,100 –> 00:52:42,400
So we must be talking about
something different here in 1st

689
00:52:42,400 –> 00:52:47,500
Timothy 3 and we have a similar
list for deacons.

690
00:52:47,500 –> 00:52:51,400
We’re not going to go through it
other than highlight.

691
00:52:51,400 –> 00:52:54,800
The keywords deacons are too
Preachers to strengthen and

692
00:52:54,800 –> 00:52:58,600
comfort the Brethren to
distribute the funds to care for

693
00:52:58,600 –> 00:53:03,100
the widows to minister the word
and to give life.

694
00:53:06,900 –> 00:53:10,900
But it’s important to note that
as overseers, which is what a

695
00:53:10,900 –> 00:53:14,900
bishop is.
Overseer of preside over the

696
00:53:14,900 –> 00:53:19,800
Ecclesia and a deacon there were
qualifications that had to be

697
00:53:19,800 –> 00:53:23,200
met.
And that’s what the whole

698
00:53:23,200 –> 00:53:26,500
chapter is about the
qualifications for a bishop and

699
00:53:26,500 –> 00:53:28,800
a deacon some are put in the
positive.

700
00:53:28,800 –> 00:53:31,600
Look at verse 2.
They must be blameless the

701
00:53:31,600 –> 00:53:33,800
husband of one wife Vigilant
sober.

702
00:53:33,800 –> 00:53:36,900
Those are the things they are to
do some are putting the negative

703
00:53:36,900 –> 00:53:42,000
verse 3 not given to Wine.
No Striker not greedy some our

704
00:53:42,000 –> 00:53:47,100
individual responsibilities
verse 3 patient brawler not

705
00:53:47,100 –> 00:53:52,400
Covetous specific to the
individual, but then some Have a

706
00:53:52,400 –> 00:53:56,500
family responsibilities.
You see verse for one that

707
00:53:56,600 –> 00:53:59,900
ruleth.
Well his own house having his

708
00:53:59,900 –> 00:54:04,600
children in subjection with all
gravity or verse 11 for the

709
00:54:04,600 –> 00:54:07,400
deacons even so must their wives
be grave.

710
00:54:09,500 –> 00:54:15,500
But what does that word rule
mean verse 4 because verse 5

711
00:54:15,500 –> 00:54:19,900
says for if a man know not how
to rule his own house how shall

712
00:54:19,900 –> 00:54:24,400
he take care of the Ecclesia of
God It’s associated with the

713
00:54:24,400 –> 00:54:29,700
elders in chapter 5 that rule
well in labor and labor in word

714
00:54:29,700 –> 00:54:35,500
and Doctrine but it’s also this
word up here on the screen first

715
00:54:35,500 –> 00:54:40,400
Thessalonians 5 and verse 12 See
it says and we beseech you

716
00:54:40,408 –> 00:54:42,300
Brethren know them.
Which labor?

717
00:54:43,800 –> 00:54:47,300
That’s a word which means to be
tired and exhausted with

718
00:54:47,300 –> 00:54:52,000
wearisome effort among you and
are over you that’s our word

719
00:54:52,000 –> 00:54:57,100
rule in the Lord and admonish
you and there is a response

720
00:54:57,100 –> 00:54:59,400
which is to be had by the
membership.

721
00:55:00,500 –> 00:55:05,400
They are to esteem them very
highly in love for their work

722
00:55:05,400 –> 00:55:08,100
sake and be at peace among
yourselves.

723
00:55:08,100 –> 00:55:12,800
There was a responsibility to
know to care and to listen to

724
00:55:12,800 –> 00:55:17,700
the Bishops to the elders to the
overseers in the Ecclesia.

725
00:55:20,300 –> 00:55:22,200
Do you know what else it’s
associated with?

726
00:55:22,200 –> 00:55:27,500
Look at verse 5 again?
For if a man know not how to

727
00:55:27,500 –> 00:55:33,400
rule his own house how shall he
take care of the Ecclesia of God

728
00:55:33,400 –> 00:55:37,400
see that transition?
The word take care is only used

729
00:55:37,400 –> 00:55:43,500
in one other context.
It’s Luke 10 verse 34 and 35 the

730
00:55:43,500 –> 00:55:50,400
Good Samaritan.
Who had compassion and took care

731
00:55:51,000 –> 00:55:54,100
of the certain man who needed
his help?

732
00:55:57,100 –> 00:55:59,900
And that’s really the point of
being a bishop in an overseer

733
00:55:59,900 –> 00:56:04,600
isn’t it to look for the needs
and Welfare of the Ecclesia?

734
00:56:07,500 –> 00:56:13,600
and so main point in this
section of leadership the

735
00:56:13,600 –> 00:56:17,200
responsibility to both do and
not to do what God has outlined

736
00:56:17,200 –> 00:56:21,500
must first be promoted and
exemplified in our personal

737
00:56:21,500 –> 00:56:25,100
lives in our familial lies
before taking on leadership and

738
00:56:25,100 –> 00:56:27,100
service roles in the house of
God.

739
00:56:29,100 –> 00:56:32,200
It is a good work to be a bishop
in Deacon and with it comes a

740
00:56:32,200 –> 00:56:36,600
great responsibility to admonish
to guard to care for it to love

741
00:56:36,700 –> 00:56:40,100
and to bring life to both those
in the house of God and the

742
00:56:40,100 –> 00:56:43,200
principles which constitute the
house of God.

743
00:56:46,400 –> 00:56:49,400
And the membership must
recognize the eldership a

744
00:56:49,400 –> 00:56:53,700
steaming them very highly with
love submitting to those who

745
00:56:53,700 –> 00:57:02,100
tirelessly work amongst us all.
And this is the wisdom of

746
00:57:02,100 –> 00:57:07,000
Yahweh. and it’s through wisdom
that the house of God, which is

747
00:57:07,000 –> 00:57:11,200
the Ecclesia of living God the
pillar and ground of the truth

748
00:57:11,200 –> 00:57:17,600
is built and by understanding it
is established and Paul ends

749
00:57:17,600 –> 00:57:22,400
this section in verse 16 with a
crescendo of thought which

750
00:57:22,400 –> 00:57:27,100
answers why there is a house
What the helps of God is and

751
00:57:27,100 –> 00:57:32,100
what is its basis?
Because it says verse 16 without

752
00:57:32,100 –> 00:57:36,900
controversy without a doubt
great is the mystery of

753
00:57:36,900 –> 00:57:43,100
godliness.
God likeness reverence and

754
00:57:43,100 –> 00:57:47,000
respect.
Paul says do you want to know

755
00:57:47,000 –> 00:57:50,800
why we live our lives and
godliness in the house of God

756
00:57:50,800 –> 00:57:56,400
that mystery has been revealed.
And it’s the mystery there in

757
00:57:56,408 –> 00:58:01,000
verse 16.
God was manifest In the Flesh

758
00:58:01,300 –> 00:58:03,900
the Lord Jesus Christ came as a
man.

759
00:58:06,400 –> 00:58:09,900
But he didn’t just come as a man
because he was justified in the

760
00:58:09,900 –> 00:58:12,600
spirit.
He adopted the thinking of God.

761
00:58:13,700 –> 00:58:17,800
And then it says he was seen of
angels because the grave could

762
00:58:17,800 –> 00:58:21,900
not hold a righteous man.
And so he was resurrected there

763
00:58:21,900 –> 00:58:26,200
witnessed by the angels and the
Angelic beings to come in the

764
00:58:26,200 –> 00:58:30,000
future.
And upon the basis of the power

765
00:58:30,000 –> 00:58:33,300
of the Resurrection.
He was preached unto the

766
00:58:33,300 –> 00:58:39,800
Gentiles believed on in the
world and received up into glory

767
00:58:39,800 –> 00:58:47,400
and one day if we can be like
Christ. manifest the spirit of

768
00:58:47,400 –> 00:58:52,600
Christ be resurrected as a new
man in godliness with our

769
00:58:52,600 –> 00:58:56,500
thinking and behavior in the
house of God, then we will

770
00:58:56,500 –> 00:59:00,300
appear with him in glory as the
multitudinous Christ.

771
00:59:03,000 –> 00:59:09,800
So as brothers. as sisters as
christadelphians brethren in

772
00:59:09,800 –> 00:59:15,200
Christ who make up that body of
Believers, which formed the

773
00:59:15,200 –> 00:59:19,500
house of God.
Let us take heed to the wisdom

774
00:59:19,500 –> 00:59:26,300
of God the wisdom of prayer the
wisdom of rolls the wisdom of

775
00:59:26,300 –> 00:59:29,400
what it means to be leaders and
followers of her God because he

776
00:59:29,400 –> 00:59:34,500
is outlined precisely how we
ought to behave ourselves in his

777
00:59:34,500 –> 00:59:39,500
house.
And how we might be like him for

778
00:59:39,500 –> 00:59:41,600
this is the mystery of
godliness.

779
00:59:43,400 –> 00:59:46,400
And this conduct is based on the
wisdom of Yahweh.

780
00:59:47,600 –> 00:59:52,300
And it’s through wisdom that the
house of God, which is the

781
00:59:52,300 –> 00:59:56,500
Ecclesia of the Living God the
pillar and ground of the truth

782
00:59:56,500 –> 01:00:01,000
is built and by understanding
that it is established.

783
01:00:02,900 –> 01:00:07,800
It may the house of God be a
place where we desire fervently

784
01:00:07,800 –> 01:00:14,100
to be so that we can say as the
sons of Korah my soul longeth.

785
01:00:15,100 –> 01:00:18,600
Yeah even fainted for the courts
of Yahweh.
