   Welcome to the good Christian talks podcast. I’m Levi and I’m Chris. Thank you so much for joining us this week on this podcast. We select one taco week to help each one of us get the Bible in our daily news feed. We post at the start of each week for you to listen.

2. 0:30

   With a short intro before hand to kind of set the stage for the talk. You’re about to hear and now let’s hear more about this week’s talk.

3. 0:44

   I talked this week comes from Brother lean ripped Meyer who gave his series of classes. The recording that were listening to is given at a weekly Bible class talking about women in the line of Christ specifically in that chapter in Matthew where it talks about the different women that are specifically mentioned instead of the men in the genealogy of Christ the beginning of math. I actually listened to this series of classes almost a year ago and it kind of forgotten that I listen to him. I was listening to him.

4. 1:13

   Preparation for a class that I was giving to the cyc years on a similar topic and was looking for some other materials and I really enjoyed the way that brother Ling look at the women in the line of Christ that he talked about the class we’re going to be listening to is on Tamar Tamar as Berlin will get into a little bit has a little bit of a assorted place in the history of Israel just because of the circumstances with her and Judah and everything that happened but as brother Ling looks at her story and the story of Judah.

5. 1:43

   You find this really amazing story with all these details and little nuggets of information that I found super interesting both when I was listening to it in preparation for the class that I gave. And now when I went back to listen to it again, I really enjoyed the way that he approached it all four of the classes.

6. 2:02

   That’s a four-part series and we’ll make sure to get them up on the extended podcast here pretty soon. We’re all really good. He goes in and talks about Tamar and then Rahab In Ruth’s and then finally Bathsheba and I enjoyed all of them Tamar and Bathsheba probably my two favorite classes of the ones that he gave and which is class 1 we’re listening to and then best for you as class 4 again.

7. 2:27

   They were both really excellent. I really enjoyed the way brother lean gave these classes and his methodology it going through them. I found them really interesting to listen to so we hope you enjoy them as much as we did good one for you for us to share to you if you have any suggestions Of course, as always, please send them in we still get those all the time and they’re super useful allowing us to find new classes and new things to to share with all of you. So with that we’ll turn it over to brother lean for his class on women in the line of Christ Tamar in our studies. We going to look at the reason why for women Tamar Rahab Ruth and Bathsheba I mentioned in the line of Jesus now buddy Peter corrected him.

8. 3:13

   Shelf in his prayer is in the line of Jesus. Not the life of Jesus. You would had a very long life. If you would have seen all those women, but as for women are mentioned in Matthew chapter 1 if you go to Matthew chapter 1

9. 3:28

   we can read about the book of the generation of Jesus Christ. So that’s what the generation is all about the book of the generation of Jesus Christ the son of David the son of Abraham Abraham begat Isaac and Isaac begat, Jacob and Jacob begat Judas and his Brethren and Judas begat phares and Zara of Tamar and phares begat. Esrom and esrom begat Aram and Aram begat aminadab and aminadab begat an action and math shown baguettes Salman. And someone because though as of Rahab and Boaz, we get Obed of Ruth and Obed begat Jesse and Jesse begat David the king and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah T.

10. 4:21

    So here are those for women these four women brightnesses that either risked their lives. They suffered a deepest humiliation or the left are closest friends and family behind to show their faith in The promise of God that a seed of the woman would come to bring Salvation to Mankind. In other words. They were saved in the bearing of that child that was promised to Eve many women must have had at Hope in Israel. Not just to have babies which most women do in any case but to become the mother of that child that was to overcome the seed of the serpent.

11. 5:00

    These women were living examples of that wise woman of Proverbs chapter 14. Yep. Valis Heritage College is nothing bad without it there now. This is clarity.

12. 5:17

    Like I may mention how it is called my talk in any case sorry way. Yo, there’s something not quite right here. I just started up again.

13. 5:32

    Right. So where were we I said they were the examples of that wise woman that Builders her house and not like a foolish one who practice it down with her hands, but why were these four women specially mentioned in the line of Jesus by not Sarah and Rachel and and before that Rebecca, they would a great Mother’s of Israel.

14. 5:56

    How would we cope with those four sisters? in Genesis 38 which we just read we are told how tame Our God had promised seed from Judo not an easy chapter to read and some families actually skipped a chapter in their daily readings because it’s so difficult Raves profession is also not dumb you like to elaborate on you would like to have sisters like that in our class. He would be and if our creature was a Jewish Ecclesia, it would like to have rare poor Ruth in it. I had him now David he was a beloved king of Israel but his actions which Bathsheba cannot be condoned yet. God forgave him when he acknowledged his sin and we would have thought naturally that Abigail would have been the seed bearer of the promised seed, but no God shows but Sheba.

15. 6:45

    Would we then in those women see the beautiful qualities which got soul or what? We look down our noses at those women S A disciples did at a woman of Samaria and it’s all Jesus conversing her at the well, they marveled that he spoke with her. They would have done that spoken to him Samaritan woman and immoral one at that.

16. 7:11

    So lesson renesas difficult to learn tonight. Is that Yahweh. See you. Not as mencius for mencius at the outward appearance or he sees with his eyes. But yah, Lucas upon the heart with Tamar for example be like to focus not on what she did, but why she did it? And he’d have got elected these women to be the ancestors of Christ.

17. 7:35

    We need to take into consideration what it says in Romans chapter 8 and verse 33 and 34 says who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect. It is God who justifies? Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the right hand of God, which also makes intercession for us? It’s good advice when you study any character of The Bible or when we talk about other members of the Ecclesia good Christ have condemned his great-great grandmother’s whom God had Justified these women are commended in scripture for their faith for our otherwise could have been mentioned in the line of Jesus re-up is mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11. It says by faith the Harlot Rahab Parish not with them that believe not when she had received the spies with peace. He’s in James chapter two.

18. 8:28

    We got two examples of people that were justified by works. First of all Abraham and secondly Rahab. She was justified by works when she hit those spines. So why is it then that God chose those women to be their forebears of Christ? I believe that two reasons. First of all is that no flesh should glory in his presence so that God may be glorified if you look at 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 23 it says we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumbling-block and unto the Greeks foolishness, but unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God because the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men for you. See your calling Brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh.

19. 9:26

    Not many mighty not many noble are called but God has chosen the foolish things of the world. To confound the wise God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are Mighty and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to nought things that are that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him, are you in Christ Jesus who have got is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and Redemption that according as it is written he That glorious let him glory in the Lord.

20. 10:06

    They also bonuses are despised by the world. At least when we live a life in the truth and Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 4. We are made as the filth of the world the off scarring of all things unto this day the word off scarring means the scum or the scrapings that which is thrown away with distaste. This is what these women would appear to be through the eye of the flesh.

21. 10:32

    But yeah, she is not as mencius shall not the judge of the whole world do right. The second thing is that is one thing which all these women had in common all four of them apart from their Faith and Hope none of them received that promised seed by their first husband because Tamers first husband called are he was killed by God because she was evil.

22. 11:00

    Ray that was a hard hat yet living with her family, which is quite unusual. However, Canaanite is women when their husbands died often men back to their families like Tamar did for example, it’s not impossible to imagine it Rahab her husband may have died and it was the only way to supplement her income from agriculture because she was growing Flex wasn’t it to make linen from and to support her family as well as possibly a Canaanites custom which is well accepted when those Nations they didn’t have got God’s will to guide us Society. She may actually have run an inn where the two spies would naturally go to and what she did maybe in a custom part of the services of the hostel.

23. 11:41

    And I’m Ruth her first husband my flan he died in Moab and that she does husband. You’re right. He was killed by David. So why should this be the thing that all those women have in common possibly because in this way God could she like their husbands you look at it your way around it’s a seed of the woman. We are talking about the one who is in the line of the promised seed and because the first husband of these women had died they were free to marry another wonderful example was like and we are made free from sin.

24. 12:14

    Then we are free to become the bride of Christ. We look forward to the marriage of the lamb and without having there. first and unnatural husbands The seed was really the seed of the woman and not affect the original husband, but all of us are descendants from Eve. She was disobedient to God’s commandment and we all suffer the consequences of her sin in that we all die. But by God’s grace his seat was promised to the woman who was to overcome the seed of The Serpent and was ultimately fulfilled in an another woman without a natural husband Mary whose seed was Christ.

25. 12:55

    Starting with this introduction. I just looked and I was for women. And today we’re going to deal with Tamar these women of whom the world was not worthy. But who through faith obtained the promises have obtained a good report through faith. They became the mothers of the promised seed of our last album Lord and Master Jesus Christ, and they build up the house of God.

26. 13:18

    So let’s start in by looking at Tamar in Genesis chapter 38. She be introduced. to Judah as I previously advised this chapter about Tamar and Judah right in the middle of the story of Joseph got the story of Joseph start with Genesis 38 and continues all the way to the end of the book.

27. 13:43

    But the underlying theme is how God is working to bring Judah back to him first one in chapter 8 says it came to pass at that time that Judah went down from his bread and and turned into a certain Adela mate whose name was Hiring, why did you go down? It was a going down indeed friend, wasn’t it?

28. 14:06

    But knowing Judas keratin which was later revealed through much suffering is possible to suggest that he went down because he couldn’t see the sorrow of his father seen a previous chapter in verse 34. We read it after you heard it Joseph had been killed he rent his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned for a son many days.

29. 14:33

    And always sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and he said I will go down into the grave and to my son morning. There’s his father wept for him and later on if you go to chapter 43 when he stands before Joseph.

30. 14:53

    And he told him not to come back unless they’re younger brothers wisdom and in verse 8 of chapter 43 Judah said unto his father send the lad with me and your arise and go that you may live and not die both. We and our and also our little ones I will be sure to for him of my hand shall require it if I bring him not into the and set him before T.

31. 15:19

    Then let me bear the blame for ever and he said Turning Point. In Judas character because later on in chapter 44, he says in verse 31 it shall come to pass when he sees that the lad is not with us that he will die and thy servant shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant Our Father his sorrow to the grave and so he couldn’t bear to see the evil that came upon his father and therefore he went away now after adding something evil brother and sister. Is that two ways of dealing with the situation the first and the best one will be to confess you things like David hit and they are forgiven.

32. 16:04

    The other one is to run away to escape at the hope that a bad situation go go away, but that never happens certainly not when God is involved something as selling Joseph would never be forgotten. It’s always on the conscience of the when you look at chapter 42. verse 21 Reuben is speaking here. He speaks here for his brethren.

33. 16:31

    In chapter 42 and 21. They said one to another we are very guilty concerning our brother me about our brother in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us and we would not here. Therefore is this distress come upon us to Cindy anguish on the face of Joseph is something they could never forget. But you don’t chose to run away and not cope with the situation, but he couldn’t bear to see.

34. 17:02

    The first thing he did wrong and the second thing is in verse 2. He saw that a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was schewe and sure our means shouting and he took her and went in unto her is the most unhelpful thing to do Brenda sisters running away from your father’s grievance who marry a KN 80s woman. It’s condemned by God through Malachi to go to Malachi and keep your hands in Genesis 38 in Malachi chapter 2. We have God’s judgment on the act of Judah marrying this canaanitish woman.

35. 17:38

    Universe 10 and 11 My God is speaking to them as his children four stanzas have not all one father has not been God created us. Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother by profaning the Covenant of our fathers Judah has dealt treacherously an Abomination is committed in Israel. And in Jerusalem for Judah has profaned the Holiness of Yahweh which he loved and he married a daughter of a strange God And that’s the evil which he did about on that first one. He did he profaned the Covenant of God that she had made with Abram is Isaac and of Jacob.

36. 18:26

    How does it get profaned the children brothers sisters? They were half Jewish and half Canaanite but good can come of people off such mixed backgrounds, but kind of education would his children have of their parents but I still showed us the picture of tareq. It’s College after all because there we are as parents and Just working together single-mindedness to bring up new children into the truth. But if the parents are divided one pulls down by another goes the other way, but good can come from that. That’s why God brought a flat on the first world because the sons of God the Believers saw the daughters of men the unbelievers that they were fair and they took them wives of all that they chose.

37. 19:13

    So the problems of the mixed marriages as really starkly out. outlined in the Family Life of Judea He was by the way, first of all you gave birth to a stunning first three, she conceived and bare a son and called his name. He was at half kyanite is half Jewish boy. She conceived again and bare a son and called his name owner and she yet again conceived and bare a son and called his name Sheila. Let me talk to you was it kiss him when he bear him and kiss it means a lie.

38. 19:46

    He was living a life of a lie, not alive after truth and his three sons. They were born to the canaanitish woman. Baker’s van pulling away another pulling the other way, the stronger of the pain will win in this case. The Canaanite is woman. She won she succeeded because in verse 7, we read that Judas firstborn was wicked in the sight of Yahweh and Yahweh has slowed him. We read in verse 6.

39. 20:17

    They taken away for his first born whose name was Tamar. Again Tamar means a pantry wonderful symbol for Heritage College because it’s an upright tree and we want our children to be upright like palm trees be done who she was or where she comes from but she was Jewish okay night, but her name is a Hebrew name and perhaps there is some kind of an indication later on in the chapter from Which tribes he came.

40. 20:47

    So was killed by God because he was evil and then when he died in verse 8, we read a Judas had to own and going into that but his wife and marry her and raise up seed to die, brother. This was a feeble attempt of Judah to imposed lever right law on his family. That law was later Incorporated in the law of Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 25, a brother is required to take the wife of his deceased older brother and raise up seed in his brother’s name.

41. 21:24

    So that boy, that would be born the firstborn would actually take on the name of his older brother and get the inheritance. But it’s such a mixed family is the murder not agreeing and the father feeling imposing some order of the family K expect the cooperation of the sense, of course, you can’t but it’s the first hint perhaps that you have felt that there was something wrong in his family are usually young families when their children get born. They get some pangs of conscience. So you must give some guns to our children. He left his father’s house.

42. 22:01

    He must have remembered all the wonderful laws, which Jacob had imposed on his family. But after owning was also killed by God because he wouldn’t raise up seed for his older brother. Then in verse 11. We are told it Judas had to Tamar his daughter-in-law remain a widow and I father’s house till Sheila. My son be grown for said lest peradventure. He died also as his bread and it and so she went and dwelled in her father’s house.

43. 22:29

    But it means sending her into isolation. Well, what good can that do sending her away from a household where? The law of God should have been ruling the Judah did not act according to what he knew to be right is to give Sheila to Tamar. Why didn’t he do it or we just read it lest.

44. 22:49

    He die. Also now Judah I was getting afraid but she knew that God was working in his life after all and I am next verse and verse 12 we read in process of time the daughter of shua Judas wife died also. So everything was taken away from him. It’s very much like Nomi. She left Bethlehem the house of bread and the Asia they had actually brought his family away from the country the promised land what happened to her husband died and two sons died the same happened to Judah and it’s marvelous to see how God was working with Judah bonuses.

45. 23:31

    He made him suffer to bring him back to him just like got workers us and also wish to Jewish people. Do a Jew is Judah Judah means a Jew you who deem is the plural of the words and it’s a parable of how God is bringing the Jewish people back to him and he’s still doing it.

46. 23:51

    The reason for suffering is that it brings out our real character. Jesus also had to learn obedience by the things which he suffered. What’s going to happen next? Well from verse 30 Young from birth 13 own words, we get it part of scripture, but you like to ignore and we condemn when Tamar played the Harlot but we need to look beyond the ACT. We can openly condemn it.

47. 24:22

    We can also ask the question what motivated her to act in the way she did Tamar knew her father. Those character well enough and but if you go to in verse 14, we are told she put her widows garments of from her and covered her with a veil. I first saw looking at the back of the wall there there was time where there’s kind of a pop staying with her veil over her face.

48. 24:45

    She covered her way to fail and wrapped herself and setting in open place. Only margin it says the door of Ines. It’s better a name. That means the opening of the eyes and indeed what happened. There was an eye-opening in both the character of Tamar and the character of Judah and also an eye-opener for us.

49. 25:12

    How do we judge Tamar? We often brought into situation was a real eye openers into our character. How do we react to them? Remember that after Adam and Eve sinned their eyes were opened the same phrase as an eye-opening, but all they saw was not what they expected. They expected that when your eyes shall be opened said the serpent he shall be as God’s knowing Good and Evil.

50. 25:39

    But are they really saw was the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons and they heard a voice of yowling Walking In The Garden by The Wind of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of yahwah eloheem among the Trees of the garden and by Rook looking wrongly at scripture when her sisters be can also hide ourselves from God so that he cannot see the lessons which God is teaching us.

51. 26:09

    So take my place the Harlot. It’s not a normal word for a prostitute. The world is a kadosh as a holy one and among the Canaanites had 10 per services and women were around the temple and they offered their services as part of the festival that was happening. It was shearing time and after this year, they brought offerings to the temple and some women were around that place.

52. 26:36

    So we need to do some lateral thinking the he’s which Judas showed which he acted upon showed his keratin, which was well known to Tamar. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared or what she did. She knew Judah well enough to know that you would make use of an Harlot shows. Of course that he must be no desperately unhappy men.

53. 26:57

    But the reason for Tamar I was very different. Why did she do it? Frozen fish 14 we are told at the end of age 14. She saw that Sheila was grown and she was not given unto him to wife.

54. 27:13

    She’s a mad keen on Sheila. No, I don’t think so or perhaps she was I don’t know but she wants to be the mother of the promised seed. That’s what I should ask in. The first place. That was The Promise by being the wife of the first born son of Judah and she was not going to let go of it by the way. How did she know that Judah was going to be the bearer of the promised seed?

55. 27:39

    We are told in chapter 49 You got a chapter 49 at the end of Jacob’s life and there’s many years after this event. Weary there in verse 8. Judah Thou Art he whom thy Brethren shall praise. Thy hand shall be in the neck of down enemies. Thy father’s children shall bow down before tea. Judah is a lion’s whelp from the prey. My son thou had gone up.

56. 28:11

    He stood down he couched as a lion as an old line who shall Rouse him up the scepter shall not depart from Judah nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh to whom it belongs come and Him shall be the Gathering of the people buying it a foal unto the vine and the SS cult under the choice Vine.

57. 28:32

    He was his garments in wine and his clothes in Blood of grapes here. The scepter shall not depart from Judah. But how did Tamar know that?

58. 28:45

    Long before Jacob gave the blessing to his sons, but she must have listened to their family stories, which Judah undoubtedly had told him that you go back to the beginning of this chapter. He must have told you about Reuben the first three Reuben doubt my first born my mate and the beginning of my strength the Excellency of dignity and the Excellency of power. Unstable as water Thou shalt not Excel because I went to step to die father’s bed.

59. 29:13

    Then there are the finest it he went up to my couch and Tamar. Mr. Reasons a man like that can never get the promises. There were two other boys in line for the promised seed in verse 5, you got Simeon and Levi their Brethren instruments of Cruelty or in their habitations of my so come on down to their secret of today assemblyman only be no doubt United from their anger. They slew a man and in the self will they dig down a wall Kashmir anger for it was fierce and their wrath for it was cruel.

60. 29:46

    I’ll divide him in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. So she must have listened to those family stories Judah talking about his breath in as you must have realized that those three would never get the blessing. The next one in line was Judah. She was an extremely perceptive woman knowing this long before Jacob actually said so the reward for his service to Judah was going to be a kids from the flock see in verse 17 of chance of 38.

61. 30:21

    When he asked to come into her she said at the end of end of her 16, but dildo give me that thou mayest come in and to me. He said I’ll send e a kid from The Flock as a kid of the goats. Why would he suggest a kid of the goats? But you know is a typical signal frame.

62. 30:41

    Well that future knew that what he did wasn’t right and he paid a sin offering by the time I accepted. She also knew that what she did wasn’t right and she also needed a sin offering but we all brothers sisters need a sin offering because we’ve all committed sins. They members of remember the Garden of Eden when God clothed Adam and Eve with the skins of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. And he’s must have waited desperately for that seed of the woman to be born and Cain was born to go to chapter 4 in Genesis.

63. 31:20

    It says there in verse 1. The Genesis for and first man Adam knew his wife and she conceived and bare came and said I’ve got a man from the Lord but that is not what the Hebrews says and he was says, I’ve got a new man that Yahweh. But she didn’t get the man from the Lord.

64. 31:45

    She got the man from Adam because Adam knew his wife Eve and therefore they got the baby boy, but she believed that at first boy was that Yahweh. The one who shall be the one who should overcome the seed of the serpent, but then she saw him growing up. She must been disappointed when he saw his character developing because he didn’t have the right attributes. He was being like Reuben and Simeon and Levi. There’s not a right attributes of character to To overcome the seed of The Serpent and therefore she called her next sand in verse 2.

65. 32:17

    She again bare her brother Abel and Abel was a keeper of sheep. That is speaking volumes by the sisters into the perception of Eve. She thought his Cane I’ve gotten a man that Yahweh but you must have realized that he wouldn’t be able to be the bount overcome the seed of The Serpent and she called a second son Abel vanity. She must’ve realized that none of her. And would qualify to become that one that yahwah to overcome the seed of The Serpent and women all three Ages which been waiting for that see to be born was to overcome the seed of the serpent Tabor knew that the seed would come through Judah and she wanted to be saved by bearing that child. She must have believed that if I strongly that God will be with her what would have happened if she would not have conceived that should have been just a heart. It as you would have been self-condemned, but God gave her conception.

66. 33:17

    So instead of focusing on the natural death as men’s he is with his eyes. I can’t be look at her through God’s eyes because he looks at her heart. She risked her life to get it seed from Judah the promised seed knowing that if she would be found out or rather when she will be found out. She’s going to get today.

67. 33:40

    It was an Act of Faith. Judah said in verse 24 off chance of 38 when he learned that time. I was with child by hoarding. What did he say? Bring it forth and let her be burnt. That’s so easy to say isn’t it? Great and sisters very quick in condemning others with all about himself.

68. 34:02

    Have I did he not first found out who was two men involved. There’s always a second party involved is in there. See the punishment was later adopted in the law of Moses. If you go to Leviticus chapter 21. His name says the daughter of any priest. As you profane a Cell by playing the horror.

69. 34:26

    She profane is her father. She shall be burned with fire. Not as a punishment only reserved for a daughter of a priest normally when a harlot was found out. She was stoned to death remember that woman taken in adultery and those Pharisees and the scribes came to Jesus and says Moses in the law commanded us that shut soupy Stone, but what says down again they were very quick to condemn righteously so because it’s forbidden the law of Moses. But what is Jesus saying he that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her.

70. 35:09

    So imagine me like Judah let him be burned without finding out all the facts and have those scribes and Pharisees who go to John chapter 8. Would have only looked at Jesus. I would have taken notice or what he was doing. They would have stopped dead in their tracks.

71. 35:32

    In verse seven rather first five, we just read now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned. But what says down this they said tempting him that he might have to accuse him, but Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground. And the rest is in italics.

72. 35:53

    It’s not in the original text as though he heard them not Jesus is not like that. He doesn’t pretend not to hear anybody. So when they continued asking him, he lifted himself and said unto them. He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her and again, he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

73. 36:12

    What was he writing? It only would have looked over their shoulder and would have remembered Jeremiah chapter 17. Look at Jeremiah chapter 17. If you’re 13. It says Yahweh. The hope of Israel all that forsake thee shall be ashamed and they depart for me shall be written in the Earth because they forsaken yahwah the Fountain of Living Waters and I feel sure that Jesus was writing down the names of those Pharisees in those said he sees and those scribes that said she was taken in adultery.

74. 36:53

    They didn’t do it out of good motives. They wanted to do it to trap Jesus. Names are written in the Earth. But our names Brennan says are written in heaven as you do all our best to keep our name written in a book of life and not have our name wiped out. But Tamar was going to be burned with fire that punishment reserved for daughters of a priests and although there were no Jewish priests around while she perhaps related to the tribe of Levi who later became the priests because the punishment is not a usual punishment. for her eyelids And also in the next chapter in Leviticus chapter 22 and you go back to Leviticus 20 to the following chapter 21. It says in verse 13, but for the priests daughter be a widowed or divorced and have no child and returned into a ferris house as in a youth she show eight of her father’s meat, but it shall No Stranger eat their oath to me that Moses wrote those laws. He didn’t just Invented those laws. They were already put into practice like even we kept all God’s laws and his statutes and his commandment Moses wrote him down.

75. 38:08

    So the two indications perhaps that she may be in the daughter of a tribe who later became priests and if that would be the case, which we can’t prove time old have set in motion a tradition of intermarriage between the tribes of Levi and Judah. Remember Aaron he’s got to access chapter 6 It can be right.

76. 38:29

    It’s probably extra step 2 3. You’re actually Step 2 for sorry. I made a mistake in here. in Exodus chapter 4 we read in verse 23 that Aaron took him Alicia bar the daughter of mean adapt sixth of nation’ to wave because read those two names in Matthew chapter 1 they belong to the tribe of Judah and she bare made up in the bayou Eleazar and ithamar so he be called a strong link between the tribe of Levi and the tribe of Judah and later on.

77. 39:05

    Also you get your shoe be after daughter of King. Jehoram was married to the high priest as you say to her cousin’s life. Who was Joey the king of Judah and Mary the mother of Jesus, but her cousin was Elizabeth was of the House of Aaron. So there are quite a few links and possibly more in the scripture where the line of Judah and the line of Levi intermarry and perhaps erase a perhaps. This is the first instance of it. So it Christ could claim to be both King and priest from both lanes of his family, but Tamar, Wanted the seed of Judah so that the promises could continue and therefore she risked her life. What did Jesus say about people that risk their life? He says in John 15 and 13 greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. So all the great woman.

78. 40:00

    She was however, she knew that she needed something to save her life because she is going to be burned with fire. And what is it in 417 of Genesis 38?

79. 40:18

    He said I’ve send thee a kid from The Flock and she said Builder gave me a pledge till thou send it. Our pledge in Hebrew is two words for Arab on the most interesting word. It means actually to mix with another person. It’s still used in modern Hebrew and I first went to Israel in 1967 was joking at this machine going please. I want to rent a car from an eye out for and he told me how much it will cost and I agreed several Tenley. I had a bun.

80. 40:58

    He wanted have an Arab unsaid. What’s the Arab on? Deposit who said I want some money to make sure that you bring that car back and I Robin and that word actually is carried over into the New Testament into the Greek.

81. 41:16

    What was it? What was the pledges he asked for in verse 18 we read but pledge shall I give thee which era bungle I gave you and she said I seek knit and I bracelets and thy staff that is in thine hand. Hands, and he gave it her and committed to her and she conceived by him. So they’re not three individual items the Signet and the bracelet and the staff.

82. 41:43

    They are all connected. Remember when I gave those archaeological talking that wine museum place. I showed you these Bully from the city of David. Those were those clay seals. Thank you how to cut the next one. And these were clay seals when I used to write a letter. You should try it as a string of remember put a blob of Clay on and these are stamp seals because as I showed you then they found a seal.

83. 42:16

    This is a proper seal a stamp seal, which is on a ring is a precious or semi precious stone. And then reverse it has the name of Hannah Anderson of hilkiah the high priest written on so she would write a letter then he put a string around. The letter and put a blob of Clay on and impresses seal into the clay so you can actually read who is the sender that is the character which means an imprint of the sender of the writing. and so we found some other seals like this one off by off describe the son of neriah and again not a seal was found, but he’d ability in impression in the clave on that stamp seal and you can read perfectly if you know ancient Hebrew who the sender is it’s like his signature now, these seals only came into being later on in history in a time of Judah and Jacob their Kind of seals they were called cylinder seals as you can see here a cylinder seal is a little cylinder about three four centimeters high and I got a hole drilled through the center. So as you can see from the drawing on the right, you can put a string around it and either hang it around your neck or attach it to your staff as Judah had done now in the seal certain things.

84. 43:42

    Tsar Graven in and if you take a piece of clay and you take your Co you put a stick through it? You can roll it into the clay you get the same effect as the stamps you which is come from from a ring from a seal. And so here the you see the impression of the seal on the claim.

85. 44:04

    Metal bar goes through the hole and you roll it through the play it French First Impressions onto the clay tablet. They are carved from Stone some this precious stone and they have all sort of animals or Birds Plants things affect patterns in and often writing and says in the bottom they were used to identify the person carrying it.

86. 44:26

    In fact, it represented a signature of the person when he rolled it over clay tablet and It’s sometimes have something specific to their personal to the function. Could Daya he was a man an architect to listen about 1800 BC the same time of reading about and he presents here a bottle with water flowing out of it at two strings the Euphrates and the Tigris and a tree the tree of life growing out into the God so it can continue with his work and in the left hand side you can see there is writing enough to they would write their name actually. Lie on that cylinder seal so when he would write a letter on a clay tablet then he rose at all it and it was a signature, you know, he was an architect and he has presented itself to the gods and he must be a qualified person and on the bottom you get some Egyptian cylinder seals. Also, they were widely used in that period a doctor also had a cou have new prescription and to make sure that it was his prescription.

87. 45:26

    He rolled his your cylinder over there clay tablet and you can see him standing there on the left. So the Tuesday used and again writing on the right hand side. So that was the seal that was attached by a string to the neck of a person you have those with you or onto the staff and the bottom line. See you notice Sumerians heel and you mustn’t forget about Abram came from they would have continued those Traditions that there’s a Temple there on the on the left here Temple buildings to opening the writing in the tree and he have for birds flying and He excels jumping around whatever they represent. We don’t know exactly but there’s the kind of seal which Judah would have had attached to his staff. That was a significance of it.

88. 46:20

    If you go to Exodus chapter 28, we see where the word seal. Autumn is used in we read about the garments of the high priest and in verse 36. It doesn’t make a plate of pure gold and Grave upon it like the Engravings of a CEO of a sickness as the same word as the Seal of Genesis 38 holy to Yahweh. So it was engraved like you saw the Engravings on that cylinder seal if you roll it out if you impressed it and it was holy to you our and as how the thought because they’re located in. Our forehead should be holy to you our and the high priest thought he’d certainly be holy to yeah, man. And in verse 37 be read and thou shalt put it on a blue lace that is maybe upon the mighty upon the Forefront of the mighty it shall be and at what time I’ll also wanted she wanted have not only this seal but also die bracelet the same word for the bracelet here that lace upon which that golden plate was fixed to the headdress of the hype. Priest and so the spiritual meaning is not lost when we read in Revelation chapter 9 that was commanded at certain people should not be hurt.

89. 47:45

    They should not hurt the grass of the earth neither any green thing neither any tree, but only those men who have the Seal of God in their foreheads. And as how we should be sealed brother and sisters living somebody Reach Out thought they can recognize the Seal of God in our foreheads. The bracelets those blue lasers were very important if you go to Numbers chapter 15. They can read about the significance of those laces. If were 37, we read the our spake unto Moses saying Speak unto the children of Israel and bid him that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their Generations that they put upon The Fringe of the board’s a ribbon of blue a lace or a bracelet of blue same with patil and Hebrew it shall be unto you for a fringe why that you may look upon it and remember all the Commandments of Yahweh and do them.

90. 48:44

    That’s what a bracelet. And that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes after which he used to go a whoring but that you may remember and do all my Commandments and be holy unto your Elohim. I am Yahweh your Elohim which brought you out from the land of Egypt to be you Al Rahim. I am Yahweh your Elohim.

91. 49:06

    Seeing the seal. It was attached by those ribbon of blue to the staff and was a staff is some 23, we know it. So well, I will fear no evil when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff they comfort me a Shepherd uses staff to guide his sheep.

92. 49:25

    It’s like an extension of your body. In Exodus chapter 4 we know the story so well that Moses when he was given the sign by by God to take his rot away staff same word. Throw it on the ground and became a serpent he took it up again. And with that staff visited brought he could do all those wonderful signs. It’s represents the extension of the owning, which is God and that staff was Jesus who first had our serpent nature, but the second time like that lepers hand it was healed. And all those wonderful sayings they were done by the staff. So that’s why she asked those very personal belongings of Judah his seal and his bracelet to tie the seal unto the staff. And that saves her life. because when you go back to Genesis 38 Then after you had said bring a force and let her be burnt if there’s 25 breed when she was brought forth. She sent to her father-in-law saying vitamin whose these are am I was child as your discern.

93. 50:36

    I prayed he whose are these the sickness and the bracelets and the staff? And confronted with him due to acknowledge them and said she has been more righteous than I because I gave him not to Sheila my son and a new again no more. So these three things the seal and the bases and the staff saved her life. We also are guilty of death.

94. 51:04

    We also got to be burned by fire unless we can produce this seal. Maybe have to seal of God’s name enough for her. So the keeping of The Commandments tied to the staff which represent Jesus who guides our life then our life will be saved at the Judgment seat because Judah pronounce judgment on Tamar also judgment is going to be pronounced on Earth.

95. 51:28

    And read out the wonderful thing that happens. It was 27. It came to pass in the time for travel that the old trains were in a room. It came to pass when she traveled at Van put out his hand and the Midwife took and bound upon his hand a Scarlet thread saying this came out first it came to pass as he drew back his hand that behold his brother came out and she said, how is thou broken forth? This bridge be upon thee therefore his name was called 5s and afterward came out his brother. That the Scarlet thread upon his hand and his name was called Sarah.

96. 52:03

    So it’s a wonderful thing the Scarlet thread the color of red color of blood the blood of the Covenant was first given to share to Sera got first gave his promises and it’s coming to Israel, but they withdrew and in Paris broke through just like the Gentiles because he said you count yourself Unworthy of everlasting life said Paul Lo he turned to the Gentiles who come back to that Scarlett threatened.

97. 52:28

    Our next study God willing they will see how the Scarlet thread can save lives now Judas children by Tamar Sera and pairs must have been in the possession of the Israelites going down to Egypt and Judah had no more sins after that. He must have been a broker man named a few of that strange relationship with Tamar because he didn’t marry him.

98. 52:54

    And afterwards after he stood before Joseph and everything has been put to rights with Joseph. He was just told his father all the things they had done to him. Then he knew that God was with him again, and it may be an indication in 1 Chronicles chapter 2. That he puts things right for Tamar also. Remember onami should have raised up seed unto his brethren.

99. 53:24

    So that at firstborn boy would have the inheritance of his father now in 1 Chronicles chapter 2 we get stole families of Judah. I start in verse 3 the sons of Judah our and onand Sheila, then he gets the sons of fire and has one and so on but I want you to go to another study for three the scent of juniper and own and and Sheila which 3 were born unto him of the daughter of sure the kyanite is and are the first one of Judah was even decide of yahwah and he slew him and Tamar is daughter-in-law burn fat as ends are all the sons of Judah were Five, but if you go to the next page in chapter 4 where he gets more information about the sense of Judah first of all dealing with five hours and has Roman comienza en but I want to go to see what happened to Sheila.

100. 54:27

     There’s a third son of Judah and we read about him in verse 21. It’s just a little while those undesigned scripturally. Versus the sons of Sheila the son of Judah so Sheila must have married we don’t told here who is wife was but we are told what Austin name of his firstborn son, and he called his firstborn son. Why would he call his firstborn son? That was the name of his older brother for whom I believe he raised up seed so that they may get the natural inheritance of was the firstborn of Judah.

101. 55:13

     So it may be that Judea later changed his mind and his attitude towards Tamar after being reconciled to Joseph and puts his family, right? So as he may be married to Sheila. And and a really wonderful thing when the whole circle is it in a sense of complete? What can we learn ourselves personally from this moving in significant period in scripture at the Judgment seat.

102. 55:38

     We also need something like a pledge to save our lives. So what is our CEO and our pledge or how do we get the pledge? You notice a robin in Hebrew as being carried on great off into the Greek? And translated also our album and that word is well known in Middle Eastern country is used as a down payment or a deposit.

103. 56:05

     Let’s go to Ephesians chapter 1. It’s always difficult is feels chapter 1 if you want to start somewhere in the middle because you don’t have a first for connection. You could go all the way back to verse 1 but we don’t have time to do that now. It says in verse 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ. So we talking about trusting in Christ in whom he also hoped her trusted after that.

104. 56:36

     Ye heard the word of Truth The Gospel of your salvation in whom also after that. Ye believed you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of Promise. So we also are Sealed which that seal which Tamar wanted to have from Judah which is the earnest Lester – Robin that’s what for pledge. So the seal which the Holy Spirit of Promise is the Pledge for what of our inheritance then we’ll get our inheritance at the Redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory. So we also need a pledge.

105. 57:20

     In chapter 4 of Ephesians that word is used again. It says in verse 29 showing how we must live our leader lines. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth. But that which is good for the use of edifying that it may Minister Grace unto the hearers and grieve. Not the holy spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption so that are Savers and that they of redemption if you go II Corinthians chapter 5 Again, we see this word used in a wonderful context.

106. 58:05

     The speak send chapter 4 about God who commanded the light to shine out of the darkness has shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, but we have this treasure in Earthen vessels and the next chapter 5, he speaks about ads and he says in verse 4 for we died are in this Tabernacle do groan being burdened because I’d like to cannot shout out until this pot is broken. Good luck in Gideon’s time.

107. 58:37

     So we have bird and not for that. He would be unclothed but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up by life. Now he that has brought us for the selfsame thing is God who is also given unto us the pledge of the spirit? And therefore we are always confident knowing that while we are at home in the body.

108. 58:56

     We are absent from the Lord for a walk by faith. We are confident and willing by the be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord because time was absolutely sure that pledge would save her life LSU as she was and she knew that she needed it. So we also have been even this Pledge of the spirit you go few pages back in chapter 1 of chapter in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 talking about the promises in verse 20. There’s one second.

109. 59:33

     So our second Corinthians chapter 1 just a previous page speaks louder firmness of God’s promises that he will certainly do as he has promised if there’s 24 all the promises of God in him. Are ye and in him? Amen unto the glory of God by us? Otherwise would time I have their to do what she did.

110. 1:00:00

     She was absolutely sure about the promises of God now he which stablish has us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God who’s also sealed us and given us the pledge of the spirit in our hearts. Remember God doesn’t look as Mendes. She doesn’t look at the outward appearance, but he looks at the heart and that’s where we need to have the promise. Remember in Revelation chapter 7 let’s go to Revelation chapter 7 so wonderful because the scriptures spend right from Genesis to Revelation giving the same message all the way through.

111. 1:00:47

     And after these things I saw four Angels standing on the four corners of the Earth holding the four corners of the wind the Four Winds that the wind should not blow on the earth nor on the sea nor on any tree. That’s so another Angel ascending from the East having the Seal of the Living God and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the Sea saying hurt not the Earth.

112. 1:01:11

     Neither the sea nor the trees till we have sealed the Servants of our God in there. Four heads and I heard the number of them which were sealed. There were sealed 144,000 of all the tribes of spiritual Israel. And so we get all those numbers what a wonderful thing redness sisters. Now, let’s go to Romans chapter 8 in see the importance of that pledge, which is the spirit of God. It doesn’t mean to say that we get little flames on our heads as the speed was first poured out it you only have the spirit of God inasmuch as we read the word of God and put it all remember into memory and act upon it we read in verse 9 of Romans chapter 8, but ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit if so be That the spirit of God dwell in you that’s the pledge now, if any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his and if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness with the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also Quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that pledged that valid in you therefore brethren.

113. 1:02:30

     We are debtors not to To the flesh to live after the flesh as Judah did initially but lately changed for if ye live after the flesh ye shall die, but she through the spirit do mortify the Deeds of the body. Ye shall live and time I lived because she had a pledge for as many as are led by the spirit of God. They are the sons of gods and so basis if you have this wonderful story of Tamar and Judah the plays of opening of the How do we judge them as a Pharisee state or do we look upon the heart of this great woman of Faith? We’ve been given a chance.

114. 1:03:11

     If you just read to become the children the sons of God if we have the pledge in our foreheads and find a code. Is that beautiful quote in 1 John chapter 3 So remembering that dad’s Spirit word is to pledge It’s gotta recognize and save our lives at the Judgment seat of Christ and then he will give out as our inheritance behold what manner of love the father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God. Therefore the world knows is not because it knew him not you’ll have know if he had pledged are the sons of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall Appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and every man that has this hope in him purifies himself even as he is pure.
