006: Harry Tennant – The Cities of Refuge

1
00:00:07,900 –> 00:00:10,600
Hello and welcome to the good
christadelphians talks podcast

2
00:00:10,700 –> 00:00:13,200
on Chris.
Thank you again for the

3
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:15,300
tremendous support and the
suggestions, everyone has been

4
00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:17,400
sending in.
It has been great to see how

5
00:00:17,400 –> 00:00:20,500
many people are excited about
podcast, starting up and

6
00:00:20,500 –> 00:00:23,600
exciting to see what types of
classes people are interested in

7
00:00:23,600 –> 00:00:27,700
sharing and our talk this week,
we will be listening to a talk

8
00:00:27,700 –> 00:00:29,400
via brother.
Harry tenant.

9
00:00:29,500 –> 00:00:32,800
That was Even at the yunkai,
Ecclesia and Western Australia.

10
00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:37,000
Apologies of that’s not.
How yunkai is pronounced his

11
00:00:37,000 –> 00:00:39,800
classes on the topic of the
Cities of Refuge.

12
00:00:41,200 –> 00:00:43,900
Now I admit, this was the first
Terry tenant class that I can

13
00:00:43,900 –> 00:00:47,000
recall having listened to.
So I’m not sure if this class

14
00:00:47,000 –> 00:00:48,900
was typical of his style, or
not.

15
00:00:50,200 –> 00:00:52,600
In this talk.
Brother, Harry takes a deep look

16
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:55,500
at the Cities of Refuge,
starting from where the

17
00:00:56,000 –> 00:00:58,600
principle of them is first, laid
out to where the cities

18
00:00:58,600 –> 00:01:01,500
themselves are selected.
This is what he covers in the

19
00:01:01,500 –> 00:01:06,000
first 30 to 40 minutes of his
talk, then he changes his topic

20
00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:08,900
slightly for the second half.
Still looking at how the Cities

21
00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:12,000
of Refuge Were Meant to work,
but he also uses them as an

22
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:14,500
object lesson about the many
responsibilities and Ecclesia

23
00:01:14,500 –> 00:01:17,600
life.
He covers baptismal interviews,

24
00:01:18,200 –> 00:01:21,700
member transfers, even hosting
visiting members all through the

25
00:01:21,700 –> 00:01:25,500
lens of the Cities of Refuge,
Brother Harry makes a strong

26
00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:28,700
point during this about how our
cleavages our own Cities of

27
00:01:28,700 –> 00:01:32,300
Refuge as we’ve all sinned in
the wages of sets in his death.

28
00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:35,900
So that we have to come to our
Cities of Refuge to escape the

29
00:01:35,900 –> 00:01:39,300
Avenger of blood.
Now, fair warning.

30
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:42,900
This is our longest talk this
far, but it’s definitely worth

31
00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:46,100
it as brother Harry makes some
really powerful points near the

32
00:01:46,100 –> 00:01:50,500
end of the talk.
However, no spoilers here, will

33
00:01:50,500 –> 00:01:52,300
need to listen to it all the way
to the end if you want to hear

34
00:01:52,300 –> 00:01:55,100
them.
And now, on to episode number

35
00:01:55,100 –> 00:01:57,100
six, I will turn it over to our
brother.

36
00:01:57,100 –> 00:02:00,100
Harry tenant for his talk on the
Cities of Refuge.

37
00:02:02,500 –> 00:02:08,000
Sometimes people have difficulty
with the law, Moses, and with

38
00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:12,600
the law that lies under the
Lord, Jesus Christ.

39
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:16,300
Now, the confusion sometimes
arises due, to an end

40
00:02:16,900 –> 00:02:19,600
misconception of what the two
things were about.

41
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:22,900
But it’s not a question of one,
being a law of works and the

42
00:02:22,900 –> 00:02:25,400
other alone.
Grace, that’s that’s a

43
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:29,000
distinction, but it’s not the
basic distinction that there is

44
00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:33,900
between the two and you What was
happening under the law, of

45
00:02:33,900 –> 00:02:39,400
Moses was God, giving a law to
govern a nation.

46
00:02:41,700 –> 00:02:43,900
Now, we have a nation.
Everything happens in a nation

47
00:02:43,900 –> 00:02:49,200
of three million people in Perth
of 700,000 people, everything

48
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:52,600
happens.
So, you have to make preparation

49
00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:56,500
for everything happening, and we
should be looking at the death

50
00:02:56,500 –> 00:02:58,800
tonight as one of those things
that happens.

51
00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:05,600
And so God in the law of Moses
made provision for the matters

52
00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:10,000
of what you do.
If you’re balustrade collapses

53
00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:13,100
on your house and somebody,
Falls down from the roof.

54
00:03:13,300 –> 00:03:17,800
Or if you’re bulgor somebody,
the moon, a provision for that

55
00:03:18,200 –> 00:03:20,900
and it wasn’t a question now of
the individual before.

56
00:03:20,900 –> 00:03:25,700
God only this was a national law
and very frequently comparisons

57
00:03:25,700 –> 00:03:28,700
were made between the individual
under the law of Christ.

58
00:03:29,000 –> 00:03:33,700
And the nation under the law of
Moses, a better comparison will

59
00:03:33,700 –> 00:03:37,200
be the nation under the law of
Moses, and the nations in the

60
00:03:37,200 –> 00:03:41,300
kingdom of God, because there
will be order in the Kingdom.

61
00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:43,900
Mm of God and they’ll be rules
in the kingdom of God for

62
00:03:43,900 –> 00:03:46,400
behavior.
That will be more like those of

63
00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:49,800
the law of Moses than those.
Which govern the individuals?

64
00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:51,900
Is he?
The individuals in Christ are

65
00:03:51,908 –> 00:03:56,100
governed by one law and that is
a relationship with God through

66
00:03:56,100 –> 00:03:59,300
Christ by faith.
Now that’s a different

67
00:03:59,300 –> 00:04:01,400
relationship from the nation of
Israel.

68
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:06,900
The men of Faith within Israel
were few, but whether or not you

69
00:04:06,900 –> 00:04:11,200
were men of Faith, you had to go
through the precepts of the law

70
00:04:12,000 –> 00:04:16,100
and therefore, you had to find
yourself coming under the law

71
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:19,800
for a number of circumstances,
and it’s worthwhile reflecting

72
00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:23,300
on these and all the arguments
about in the, under the law.

73
00:04:23,300 –> 00:04:26,100
They did this and they put
people to death, but we under

74
00:04:26,100 –> 00:04:28,600
Christ’s atoning, not to be
violent.

75
00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:31,400
Those two, that comparison is
not a valid comparison.

76
00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:36,100
The comparison hit their usage
between the individual has

77
00:04:36,100 –> 00:04:39,900
Faith, who is serving God
through the Lord, Jesus Christ,

78
00:04:39,900 –> 00:04:43,200
and our nation who said that’s
moving, and working and doing.

79
00:04:43,300 –> 00:04:45,800
And that nation is governed by
different things all together.

80
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:49,000
And it is not that the nation
was our faith.

81
00:04:49,300 –> 00:04:53,500
And so God had to provide laws
whether or not they had faith

82
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:55,500
and those laws govern, the
people.

83
00:04:55,500 –> 00:04:58,000
And what we’re going to have a
look at tonight, in the Cities

84
00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:03,300
of Refuge, is exactly such an
instance of Circumstances that

85
00:05:03,300 –> 00:05:06,300
would arise and they had nothing
to do with faith.

86
00:05:07,800 –> 00:05:11,100
Unless you made it an Act of
Faith, which of faithful man

87
00:05:11,300 –> 00:05:13,700
could do if he happened to be
caught up in it.

88
00:05:15,900 –> 00:05:19,900
Now, you remember that there
were 13 tribes but only 12 of

89
00:05:19,900 –> 00:05:21,800
them were given an allocation of
land.

90
00:05:23,700 –> 00:05:30,000
And the 13th was, in fact, Levi,
and Levi received, what was it

91
00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:33,700
portion?
As it were, by cities, being

92
00:05:33,700 –> 00:05:37,300
given 48 cities, being given
amongst the people.

93
00:05:37,300 –> 00:05:40,300
Now, they were amongst the
people for two reasons, that is

94
00:05:40,300 –> 00:05:43,400
to produce an equitable
distribution and Equitable

95
00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:45,500
contribution from all the
tribes.

96
00:05:45,900 –> 00:05:50,200
So that the 40s, it is 48 cities
would not fall burdensome lie,

97
00:05:50,300 –> 00:05:55,800
on One Tribe and secondly, This
meant the Levites were also

98
00:05:55,800 –> 00:05:58,700
distributed so that they could
be officers among the people

99
00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:01,900
they assisted in the matter of
judgment among the people.

100
00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:06,100
And that was that that was just
the administration of law.

101
00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:11,300
What happens when the landmark
disappears and so on that that

102
00:06:11,300 –> 00:06:14,100
was just a straightforward
matter of what happens.

103
00:06:14,700 –> 00:06:18,200
And that that’s how the law
Moses was supposed to operate

104
00:06:18,400 –> 00:06:21,000
within that.
There were people who indeed had

105
00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:25,400
face on a deeper understanding
and maybe they wouldn’t seek to

106
00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:30,200
exact that, which the law gave
them will be forgiving of heart.

107
00:06:30,400 –> 00:06:32,800
That’s that was allowed for
within the law.

108
00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:37,200
The law also provided that they
would be Equitable judgment.

109
00:06:38,300 –> 00:06:44,200
Under the judges by the law of
God, if people were brought up

110
00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:47,500
against it and we’re not
inclined to be obedient.

111
00:06:48,900 –> 00:06:54,400
Now of those 48 cities, you
remember that six of them became

112
00:06:54,600 –> 00:06:59,000
Cities of Refuge.
Now, this will not be one of

113
00:06:59,000 –> 00:07:02,300
those subjects where we should
just spend our time wallowing in

114
00:07:02,300 –> 00:07:06,700
the law of Moses, which is um, I
don’t know.

115
00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:09,000
It’s a bit, it surprises me.
How many people spend a lot of

116
00:07:09,000 –> 00:07:12,100
time wallowing in the law Moses
and they don’t spend it in this

117
00:07:12,100 –> 00:07:14,000
reading and studying the law of
Christ.

118
00:07:14,400 –> 00:07:17,900
I don’t understand that.
There’s something wrong if we’ve

119
00:07:17,900 –> 00:07:23,800
gone back to the law.
Without taking the essence of

120
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:25,700
it.
You see that is in the Lord,

121
00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:28,200
Jesus Christ, because the law
was in perfect.

122
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:30,900
So you get, you won’t get a
perfect picture of Jesus, out of

123
00:07:30,900 –> 00:07:34,500
the law because the law had a
shadow of good things to come

124
00:07:34,500 –> 00:07:38,000
and not the very image.
And so the Perfection is in

125
00:07:38,000 –> 00:07:41,200
Christ.
And as I’ve said before

126
00:07:41,200 –> 00:07:44,300
elsewhere, it isn’t a question
of the law coming first.

127
00:07:44,300 –> 00:07:47,600
And Christ, fulfilling it.
The Lord did not come first.

128
00:07:48,700 –> 00:07:51,900
Didn’t even come first in the
Old Testament, let alone first

129
00:07:51,900 –> 00:07:57,100
in respect of Christ, Christ
preceded, the law before Abraham

130
00:07:57,100 –> 00:08:02,000
was I am, and that’s the basis.
In other words, God lot of the

131
00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:05,800
Lord Jesus and Jesus was not
modeled on the law and so many

132
00:08:05,800 –> 00:08:08,600
times folks go into the mall and
bring all the parts of it and

133
00:08:08,600 –> 00:08:10,800
expect Jesus to be model and
defeat them.

134
00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:15,500
All and lots and lots of are
arguing amongst ourselves of

135
00:08:15,500 –> 00:08:19,000
come.
Because in fact, we have To fit

136
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:24,000
the law to Jesus in some way or
rather to feed him to the law.

137
00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:28,400
And we don’t, you don’t, you
can’t do it in that way for the

138
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:30,300
simple reason that Jesus is
everything.

139
00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:33,500
So yeah, upsets the whole
calendar of the law because he’s

140
00:08:33,500 –> 00:08:35,900
the day of atonement and the
Passover at the same time.

141
00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:41,900
And he’s the priest and the
altar at the same time and he’s

142
00:08:41,900 –> 00:08:44,600
a sacrifice at the same time and
leave the mercy seat at the same

143
00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:46,900
time.
So there’s no way in which you

144
00:08:46,900 –> 00:08:50,900
can you can take all the
sequential things of the law and

145
00:08:50,900 –> 00:08:55,300
fit them to Jesus you know and
it wasn’t at all surprised me

146
00:08:56,100 –> 00:09:00,100
that our radar unifying about he
offers first for himself and

147
00:09:00,100 –> 00:09:04,200
then for the people, you know,
arises purely because we take

148
00:09:04,200 –> 00:09:08,800
the law And of course, that
question is asked out here in

149
00:09:08,800 –> 00:09:11,200
Australia because not because
anybody wants to know the answer

150
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:13,600
to that question, that’s not
there.

151
00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:17,200
You know, this, this is a
country of great question asking

152
00:09:17,900 –> 00:09:20,800
under what you want to do when
you move around, Australia is to

153
00:09:20,800 –> 00:09:22,300
say, what’s your second
question?

154
00:09:23,900 –> 00:09:27,400
Because it’s the second question
every time didn’t the first

155
00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:29,500
question at all.
What people are interested in is

156
00:09:29,500 –> 00:09:32,600
the nature of Christ, instead of
coming clean and saying, that’s

157
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:34,400
what they’re interested in.
They ask the other question.

158
00:09:34,800 –> 00:09:36,600
That’s a dishonest way of
proceeding.

159
00:09:36,900 –> 00:09:40,200
Whoever you are, isn’t it?
Don’t ask me a question.

160
00:09:40,200 –> 00:09:43,300
Ask me directly or ask your
brother direct me.

161
00:09:44,800 –> 00:09:46,800
Behind his back and asking one
question as soon as I answer

162
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:48,300
that said right now.
What about this?

163
00:09:48,600 –> 00:09:51,800
You know, that’s that’s not a
way to go about it.

164
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:55,800
Of course cries and benefited
from his own sacrifice, he was

165
00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:59,600
Mortal like the rest of us but
it all happened at the same time

166
00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:04,200
that offering of himself and for
us happened at the same instant,

167
00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:07,200
he benefited first from it,
that’s a different matter.

168
00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:09,900
That’s a different matter and
that’s not these what the

169
00:10:09,900 –> 00:10:14,100
quotation Hebrews says.
He benefited first from it.

170
00:10:14,100 –> 00:10:18,000
That is true, but being of our
nature, you required to be

171
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,900
delivered from it and he was
delivered only by the sacrifice

172
00:10:21,900 –> 00:10:24,900
of himself.
Now, if only, we could just take

173
00:10:24,900 –> 00:10:28,300
it simply, you know, I’m sure we
make great progress.

174
00:10:28,800 –> 00:10:31,600
However, that wasn’t my subject
tonight, but it just sort of

175
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:33,900
came in about a put it out,
right?

176
00:10:35,200 –> 00:10:42,600
But we’ve had a look at it. this
matter of the Cities of Refuge

177
00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:48,600
was just provided for first of
all, in a very short, comment in

178
00:10:48,600 –> 00:10:52,400
Exodus, just have a look at it
in 21, very short, comment in,

179
00:10:52,400 –> 00:11:01,200
Exodus chapter 21, now, in this
little section here, we have

180
00:11:02,100 –> 00:11:07,500
just this comment verse 12, he
that smiteth the man, so that he

181
00:11:07,500 –> 00:11:10,800
died.
She’ll be surely, put to death.

182
00:11:13,400 –> 00:11:18,200
And if a man lie not in wait but
God deliver him into his hand,

183
00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:22,000
then I will appoint the a place
with a he shall flee.

184
00:11:22,100 –> 00:11:26,700
Now that’s all that was said.
It just so happened that there

185
00:11:26,700 –> 00:11:30,800
were six Cities of Refuge, but
it just says I flakes here and

186
00:11:30,800 –> 00:11:34,600
that was the adumbration that is
the outlining of it, beforehand

187
00:11:34,900 –> 00:11:39,800
of what was to come.
Is he the first verse 12?

188
00:11:41,200 –> 00:11:46,100
Rarely is an extension of a very
early comment if you just come

189
00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:48,500
back to the Book of Genesis you
will see that this comment in

190
00:11:48,500 –> 00:11:53,400
the Book of Genesis chapter 9
is, in fact.

191
00:11:54,800 –> 00:12:01,600
Without qualification.
So in verse 4, Genesis chapter

192
00:12:01,600 –> 00:12:05,500
9, we re, but flesh with the
life thereof, which is the blood

193
00:12:05,500 –> 00:12:09,700
thereof, shall ye not eat and
surely your blood of your lives.

194
00:12:09,700 –> 00:12:13,200
Will I require the hand of every
beast when I require it and the

195
00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:16,300
Hand of every man at the hand of
Every Man’s brother?

196
00:12:16,300 –> 00:12:20,600
Would I require the life of man.
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood by

197
00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:23,300
man.
Shall his blood be shed for in

198
00:12:23,300 –> 00:12:28,800
the image of God made He Man
Now, that doesn’t provide for

199
00:12:28,800 –> 00:12:33,500
accidental death, does it?
Doesn’t say whoso sheddeth.

200
00:12:33,500 –> 00:12:36,700
Man’s blood deliberately, all
right?

201
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:41,700
That’s how it extended as we go
along, because you had if you

202
00:12:41,700 –> 00:12:44,400
take that law and that’s how law
operates and that, you know,

203
00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:48,600
this is why there are courts of
Law and why they’re in fact

204
00:12:48,600 –> 00:12:52,100
there is statute law and other
types of law case law.

205
00:12:52,300 –> 00:12:57,000
Just because a long, I come to
Bear harshly on somebody for

206
00:12:57,000 –> 00:12:59,100
whom it was not originally
intended.

207
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:02,300
All right?
Quite clearly.

208
00:13:02,300 –> 00:13:06,600
What was in mind?
Here was the deliberate shedding

209
00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:09,200
of blood.
It doesn’t say that, but the law

210
00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:12,400
of Moses when it comes opens out
to makes provision for that

211
00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:14,700
because we got to deal with the
nation where men are going to

212
00:13:14,700 –> 00:13:17,800
die accidentally by a variety of
things.

213
00:13:19,700 –> 00:13:23,400
The other thing to notice here
is that, the reason for this is

214
00:13:23,400 –> 00:13:30,300
that life belongs to God.
That’s one thing.

215
00:13:30,800 –> 00:13:36,300
And secondly, man’s lie is such
that it is of special

216
00:13:36,400 –> 00:13:39,200
significance, because man is in
the image of God.

217
00:13:40,400 –> 00:13:43,100
And therefore, even God has made
somebody in His image and has

218
00:13:43,100 –> 00:13:45,500
given him live there.
Nobody.

219
00:13:45,900 –> 00:13:48,300
Absolutely.
Nobody is entitled to take away

220
00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:50,600
that life.
Only God is entitled to take it

221
00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:53,100
away.
So the man who sheds, it

222
00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:56,400
deliberately has done an act,
that’s not not his to do at all.

223
00:13:56,700 –> 00:14:02,500
In fact, he has now injured God
in that act because man is made

224
00:14:02,500 –> 00:14:05,700
in the image of God and he’s
done injury against God.

225
00:14:05,700 –> 00:14:09,200
He’s entered into an area that
is is not in which he’s not

226
00:14:09,200 –> 00:14:13,000
entitled to.
To enter at all, but he may

227
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:17,400
plead that he’s entered into it
accidentally.

228
00:14:17,600 –> 00:14:19,500
Now the answer to that could be
quite clearly.

229
00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:21,500
It doesn’t matter to the dead
man, whether you did

230
00:14:21,500 –> 00:14:25,800
accidentally or not, he’s dead.
Makes no difference.

231
00:14:25,800 –> 00:14:28,400
As far as the man is concerned.
Visit me, you know, doesn’t

232
00:14:28,400 –> 00:14:30,900
matter whether you shoot me or
whether I have to trip over a

233
00:14:30,908 –> 00:14:33,400
bit of your garden.
That’s not very tidy.

234
00:14:33,900 –> 00:14:37,600
If I die, I die.
All right now it will be

235
00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:39,700
possible to press them more
harshly and say Well, it

236
00:14:39,700 –> 00:14:42,600
respective of that.
This man was alive, you have

237
00:14:42,600 –> 00:14:45,400
occasion is death.
Whether the deliberately or not

238
00:14:45,400 –> 00:14:47,200
and therefore God will require
it of you.

239
00:14:47,300 –> 00:14:50,300
He said no.
This actually doesn’t draw.

240
00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:52,500
Then I’ll make provision for
you.

241
00:14:53,800 –> 00:14:55,700
Right?
I will appoint thee a place.

242
00:14:55,700 –> 00:15:02,400
Now, God appoints the place.
Notice that and do you notice

243
00:15:02,400 –> 00:15:07,400
what it said in Exodus?
And that verse in Exodus which

244
00:15:07,400 –> 00:15:13,500
perhaps you lost which is 2113
and if a man lie not in wait but

245
00:15:13,500 –> 00:15:18,900
God deliver him into his hand,
alright, as a strange

246
00:15:18,900 –> 00:15:22,300
expression, isn’t it?
It’s almost like that.

247
00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:27,000
I like that expression that
occurs in Insurance all over the

248
00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:30,200
world, an atheist uses and
agnostics.

249
00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:35,700
Use it to all the other people
use it Act of God, right?

250
00:15:36,500 –> 00:15:38,100
Which is a way of are saying
that.

251
00:15:38,100 –> 00:15:40,200
It wasn’t about Han in our
hands.

252
00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:43,400
I don’t think it’s used in these
circumstances if I perused of

253
00:15:43,400 –> 00:15:47,900
death by typhoon, for example,
and that would be an act of God

254
00:15:47,900 –> 00:15:51,400
or by earthquake, but here
Garden did say, Even if a man

255
00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:56,500
dies and God allows it because
he hasn’t intervene, then I’ll

256
00:15:56,500 –> 00:15:58,300
appoint your place whether you
can flee.

257
00:15:59,400 –> 00:16:04,300
So come now to Deuteronomy
chapter 4, I’ll just have a look

258
00:16:04,500 –> 00:16:07,700
and you’ll find this subject.
Fascinating read opens out into

259
00:16:07,700 –> 00:16:10,200
ecclesial, life straight into a
clean Life.

260
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:12,200
As we get along.
Well, let’s get the essence of

261
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:13,800
it.
First of all, Deuteronomy

262
00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:20,300
chapter 4.
There in verse 41, then Moses,

263
00:16:20,300 –> 00:16:24,500
several or separated three
cities on this side.

264
00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:26,400
John you say, what does this
side?

265
00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:30,700
Jordan mean he said it’s on the
east Bank toward the sun rising.

266
00:16:31,000 –> 00:16:35,100
Alright, so there we are.
There are the three cities and

267
00:16:35,100 –> 00:16:40,800
the Ibiza and Ramos and Gola
their mentioned on they run down

268
00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:45,400
and they’re spaced down the east
side of the river, Joel.

269
00:16:46,900 –> 00:16:49,900
They were space.
So that whilst they were not

270
00:16:49,900 –> 00:16:53,100
just equidistant, at least they
were cities.

271
00:16:53,500 –> 00:16:57,900
That could be reached by anybody
who lived on the east side of

272
00:16:57,900 –> 00:17:01,300
Jordan without undue trouble,
doesn’t like having them all in

273
00:17:01,308 –> 00:17:04,500
the north, even if he’d been
damn way up in the north end, it

274
00:17:04,508 –> 00:17:06,900
would have been impossible for
many people to get there,

275
00:17:06,900 –> 00:17:12,099
instead of, which they have
down, really in Easy places to

276
00:17:12,099 –> 00:17:15,099
find on the east side and there
they are.

277
00:17:15,099 –> 00:17:19,500
He’s now taken Out what is what
is in, Exodus 21 that the

278
00:17:19,500 –> 00:17:22,599
Slayer, might flee, their bow,
which should kill his neighbor,

279
00:17:22,599 –> 00:17:25,900
unawares.
And now it opens it out and

280
00:17:25,900 –> 00:17:29,300
begins to tell us something
about about motives, all right?

281
00:17:29,400 –> 00:17:33,800
In all law, its intention that
you’ve got to prove, right?

282
00:17:34,700 –> 00:17:38,500
But you, you intended to deceive
that, you intended to kill that,

283
00:17:38,500 –> 00:17:42,900
you intended to steal if you’re
walking through a supermarket.

284
00:17:43,500 –> 00:17:46,300
I’m with you happen to knock
something from the show for Nick

285
00:17:46,300 –> 00:17:50,200
falls into your basket.
That’s a different matter from

286
00:17:50,200 –> 00:17:52,700
the man who goes along, just
stepping things from the

287
00:17:52,700 –> 00:17:55,700
shelving to his basket and he
does that deliberately.

288
00:17:55,900 –> 00:17:58,100
All right?
That’s the shop lifter.

289
00:17:58,900 –> 00:18:01,100
But the other man it’s happened
to accidentally.

290
00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:04,100
But when you arrive at the
counter or leaving the shop, you

291
00:18:04,100 –> 00:18:06,500
actually the same state.
Each you have in your bag.

292
00:18:06,500 –> 00:18:08,700
Something that doesn’t belong to
you and which you haven’t

293
00:18:08,700 –> 00:18:12,200
accounted for.
All right, so it’s motive that

294
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:15,900
matters.
The establishment of motive that

295
00:18:16,000 –> 00:18:19,300
really counts, that’s why it is
very difficult for us to judge

296
00:18:19,300 –> 00:18:21,800
our brethren.
Isn’t it?

297
00:18:23,500 –> 00:18:26,500
You can judge the externals, and
we sometimes don’t do exactly

298
00:18:26,500 –> 00:18:27,900
the externals.
Don’t wait, what’s that?

299
00:18:27,900 –> 00:18:29,900
Doing in your bag?
Shouldn’t be there doesn’t

300
00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:31,100
belong to you and you paid for
it.

301
00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:35,000
No, you know, move nailing down
any actual fact, the person may

302
00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:40,300
be entirely innocent.
All right, may be entirely

303
00:18:40,300 –> 00:18:42,300
innocent.
So we’ve got to watch in the

304
00:18:42,300 –> 00:18:45,800
matter because it is motives
that matter and it’s very

305
00:18:45,800 –> 00:18:49,700
difficult for human beings to
judge motives extremely

306
00:18:49,700 –> 00:18:51,900
difficult to judge motives,
right?

307
00:18:51,900 –> 00:18:55,700
So here it is that the motive is
established and it says hated

308
00:18:55,700 –> 00:19:01,400
him not in time past.
All right, so in a court of law,

309
00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:05,000
you want to note in a court of
law and you were accused of

310
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:07,600
injuring, somebody, it would be
perfectly.

311
00:19:07,800 –> 00:19:13,900
Right for you to call a witness.
That said, this man is not a

312
00:19:13,900 –> 00:19:18,400
violent man and somebody could
say he has never in my knowledge

313
00:19:18,400 –> 00:19:20,400
ever.
Use violence against anybody,

314
00:19:20,800 –> 00:19:22,500
all right.
And especially if somebody’s

315
00:19:22,500 –> 00:19:25,600
been injured, he never had any
time hated this man or was

316
00:19:25,600 –> 00:19:28,800
unfriendly towards him or showed
any animosity towards in

317
00:19:28,800 –> 00:19:31,200
whatsoever, that would be a
proper witness.

318
00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:34,900
So that would have to be done in
this question is he we should

319
00:19:34,900 –> 00:19:37,500
give seed discover that these
cases are certainly

320
00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:40,700
Investigated, it’s not something
that just happens if they are

321
00:19:40,700 –> 00:19:42,600
thoroughly investigated, all
right.

322
00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:45,400
That’s a little section.
Then in Deuteronomy chapter 4

323
00:19:45,500 –> 00:19:54,400
now camera Deuteronomy 19.
When you see the difference now.

324
00:19:56,800 –> 00:20:02,100
All very simple if we just
follow the principles as God,

325
00:20:02,100 –> 00:20:04,600
lays them out and is there
opened out by Moses?

326
00:20:05,500 –> 00:20:09,900
So in chapter 19, when the Lord
thy God has cut off the Nations

327
00:20:09,900 –> 00:20:13,600
whose land the Lord thy God,
giveth thee and thou succeeded

328
00:20:13,600 –> 00:20:15,300
them and dwellest in their
cities.

329
00:20:15,500 –> 00:20:19,200
And in their houses, Thou shalt
separate three cities for thee.

330
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:22,000
In the midst of the land are on
the other side.

331
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:24,700
You’re on.
These are the ones in the midst

332
00:20:24,700 –> 00:20:28,000
of the land, the other ones were
the ones toward the sun rising,

333
00:20:28,100 –> 00:20:29,800
right?
But these are in the midst of

334
00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:33,700
the land.
So that’s makes about six and it

335
00:20:33,700 –> 00:20:39,400
says here in verse 3 and the
language is not altogether.

336
00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:42,600
Clear.
But it says, in verse 3, Thou

337
00:20:42,600 –> 00:20:47,900
shalt.
Prepare the away and divide the

338
00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:51,300
borders of thy land which the
Lord thy God, giveth thee to

339
00:20:51,300 –> 00:20:56,900
inherit into three parts.
Is that every Slayer May flee?

340
00:20:56,900 –> 00:21:00,500
The river.
Now, I know this isn’t a little

341
00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:03,600
country where people how eat
have easily other versions

342
00:21:03,600 –> 00:21:06,400
available as anybody.
Got the revised Standard Version

343
00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:10,300
at all, they happen to be using.
All right, anybody got the new

344
00:21:10,300 –> 00:21:13,300
international version, right?
As very interesting to see,

345
00:21:13,300 –> 00:21:15,600
where asked in Britain, somebody
say yes, I’ve got the revised

346
00:21:15,600 –> 00:21:17,600
standard you can refer to, and
somebody would say, yes, I’ve

347
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:19,800
got the new international
version that you can refer to

348
00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:23,000
and sometimes you get help from
that.

349
00:21:23,000 –> 00:21:25,100
I I haven’t gotten them with.
They will probably in the house

350
00:21:25,100 –> 00:21:28,000
where I was actually at least
one of those would be, but I

351
00:21:28,008 –> 00:21:31,400
didn’t that refer to it, but
it’s that little bit that says,

352
00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:36,700
Thou shalt, prepare the away.
The revised version says, the

353
00:21:36,700 –> 00:21:41,600
way All right.
Now that would suggest that they

354
00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:46,300
was a special Road prepared to
all the City of Refuge.

355
00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:51,500
Now, you think about that?
And you’re preparing a road

356
00:21:51,500 –> 00:21:59,300
toward the City of Refuge.
Well, If you live east of Perth,

357
00:22:00,500 –> 00:22:02,900
you could have a straight road
coming into purse for that.

358
00:22:02,900 –> 00:22:06,000
Road is no good to you.
If you live on the west, is it?

359
00:22:06,100 –> 00:22:09,200
So that would suggest he had a
road on the west and that’s no

360
00:22:09,200 –> 00:22:10,600
good.
You if you live on the North or

361
00:22:10,600 –> 00:22:12,800
the South.
All right, and we’ve got River

362
00:22:12,800 –> 00:22:13,900
problems.
You’ve got another problem

363
00:22:13,900 –> 00:22:15,300
altogether.
But let’s just ignore.

364
00:22:15,300 –> 00:22:19,000
That fact is if Knox is though,
what is the chest in here is the

365
00:22:19,000 –> 00:22:24,200
convergence of robes coming in.
They can’t prove that from this

366
00:22:24,500 –> 00:22:29,100
but it seems to A logical saying
there had to be a clear way to

367
00:22:29,100 –> 00:22:33,300
get into the City of Refuge so
God is only get out now as to

368
00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:36,000
how it’s going to operate.
You should I prepare something

369
00:22:36,000 –> 00:22:40,300
for you?
Then he said that a place is

370
00:22:40,300 –> 00:22:43,000
going to be six places and here
they are.

371
00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:46,000
So the six places are now only
got the six places you’ve

372
00:22:46,000 –> 00:22:48,500
discovered.
In fact, these six places are in

373
00:22:48,500 –> 00:22:51,200
fact, levitical cities, we
should come across that as we go

374
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:52,700
along.
They’re not all the news.

375
00:22:52,700 –> 00:22:55,000
It is and then there are special
roads built.

376
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:59,100
So we can see now that God is
actually pairing it seriously,

377
00:22:59,300 –> 00:23:02,300
because it’s going to be a
practical matter for the person

378
00:23:02,500 –> 00:23:05,500
who is in dead trouble.
There’s just a little point in

379
00:23:05,500 –> 00:23:11,400
this chapter. because when you
have a look at the chapter and

380
00:23:11,400 –> 00:23:17,000
what’s involved in it, you
wonder in fact whether God was

381
00:23:17,000 –> 00:23:22,200
going to make nine Cities of
Refuge.

382
00:23:23,800 –> 00:23:26,500
I thought you might have figured
you might have got all sorts of

383
00:23:26,500 –> 00:23:29,700
ideas and types fixed on six.
You know, six is the number of

384
00:23:29,700 –> 00:23:33,500
man and all that.
Well, I don’t value just have

385
00:23:33,500 –> 00:23:41,200
another thing. because it says,
there in verse 9, If Thou shalt

386
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:46,700
keep all these Commandments to
do them, which I command thee

387
00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:49,100
this day to love the Lord thy
God.

388
00:23:49,100 –> 00:23:54,700
And to walk ever in his ways
then shalt thou add three more

389
00:23:54,700 –> 00:23:58,800
cities beside these.
That’s not a three on the other

390
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:00,000
side.
They’ve already mentioned in

391
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:03,700
chapter 4 on the not the three
in the mystical land because we

392
00:24:03,708 –> 00:24:05,700
just dealt with those.
So the suggestion is it would

393
00:24:05,700 –> 00:24:10,600
have been nine cities if they
had taken the Of all the places,

394
00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:13,200
for example, if they take in the
land of the Philistines fully

395
00:24:13,200 –> 00:24:16,500
into possession, right?
That’s just a little point in

396
00:24:16,500 –> 00:24:20,800
passing, but so there’s just a
possibility that nine cities

397
00:24:20,900 –> 00:24:23,900
where what God had in mind to
begin with.

398
00:24:25,400 –> 00:24:29,200
Now.
When you read this, there’s

399
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:34,600
another person been introduced.
Let’s follow them Deuteronomy.

400
00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:37,800
1902 not know whether you do the
Bible this way.

401
00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:41,000
I just ignore what anybody else
has written about about any

402
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:43,800
subject, the mind reading, what
they’ve written at some other

403
00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:46,000
time.
But our the, my method of

404
00:24:46,000 –> 00:24:48,800
preparing is to say all right.
What does the bible say that

405
00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:50,900
started in Exodus?
What does the Bible say?

406
00:24:50,900 –> 00:24:52,800
I write it down.
Then I had to go.

407
00:24:52,800 –> 00:24:54,600
I say we did it.
And yes, here we are Deuteronomy

408
00:24:54,600 –> 00:24:59,100
4 and I write it down, then Jus
tryna And I write it down and

409
00:24:59,100 –> 00:25:02,000
that helps me to get the
complete picture as God revealed

410
00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:04,300
it.
This other way, you know, I’m

411
00:25:04,300 –> 00:25:09,100
using other people’s nose.
Or whoever they are who Evernote

412
00:25:09,100 –> 00:25:11,100
notes.
They are or study for somebody

413
00:25:11,100 –> 00:25:15,900
else’s book is a back-to-front
going through man way.

414
00:25:15,900 –> 00:25:19,100
And you shouldn’t go through
men, to get to the Bible are not

415
00:25:19,100 –> 00:25:22,900
getting it at anybody.
In particular on this because I

416
00:25:22,908 –> 00:25:25,500
know folks will Center on
Sterling from time to time use

417
00:25:25,500 –> 00:25:28,500
other people’s notes.
But so do folks that camping

418
00:25:28,500 –> 00:25:30,900
elkind other places.
Use other people’s notes.

419
00:25:31,000 –> 00:25:34,000
Not speaking about anyone.
Lot of people, everybody does

420
00:25:34,000 –> 00:25:35,800
know.
That’s the Lazy Man’s way.

421
00:25:35,900 –> 00:25:36,600
I know.
It’s all right.

422
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:39,300
Say, well some Done all the work
and they’ve arrived at it.

423
00:25:39,300 –> 00:25:41,700
And actual fact what they’re
doing is, but you do this, they

424
00:25:41,708 –> 00:25:46,500
putting you on the tram lines.
You know, and that isn’t any

425
00:25:46,500 –> 00:25:50,000
good.
Remember that little rhyme about

426
00:25:50,000 –> 00:25:55,000
the man who was discussing
predestination alas, I perceive

427
00:25:55,000 –> 00:25:59,000
that I am, you know, pre-dinner
determined to move in a

428
00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:04,800
predestined Groove, not even a
bus, just a trap, you know, and

429
00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:07,100
that’s what it is when you get
into somebody else’s Groove

430
00:26:07,700 –> 00:26:13,500
because all grooves made by men
will at some point be in error.

431
00:26:15,000 –> 00:26:19,900
31 inch 50, that’s the Bible.
So the method that I use always

432
00:26:19,900 –> 00:26:24,100
is to go to the text and have a
look at it and let it talk to me

433
00:26:24,100 –> 00:26:27,600
in the simplest possible way.
Ask it questions right?

434
00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:30,200
Then I don’t mind having a look
at somebody else’s afterwards to

435
00:26:30,200 –> 00:26:32,500
see, you know, what they had to
say?

436
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:34,900
And then I’d say well how do you
arrive at that conclusion?

437
00:26:37,100 –> 00:26:38,600
How do you arrive at that
conclusion?

438
00:26:38,700 –> 00:26:40,600
For example, I can leave you
with the question about Cities

439
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:44,400
of Refuge was the border around
the City of Refuge 1000 cubits

440
00:26:44,400 –> 00:26:47,300
or 2,000 cubits by.
It’s just worth having the Loft

441
00:26:47,300 –> 00:26:50,700
and, and having a go on all the
scriptures and see what your

442
00:26:50,700 –> 00:26:52,200
answer is.
We’re not going to give it to

443
00:26:52,200 –> 00:26:54,600
you tonight.
Right.

444
00:26:54,600 –> 00:26:59,800
We’re now in verse 3.
Now, as you prepare the away,

445
00:27:00,500 –> 00:27:03,000
divide the coasts, which the
Lord thy God, giveth thee to

446
00:27:03,000 –> 00:27:07,200
inherit into three parts.
And here’s the new factor that

447
00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:13,100
every Slayer May flee, the river
and this is the case of the

448
00:27:13,100 –> 00:27:16,300
Slayer, which you’ll flee
little, that he may live, who

449
00:27:16,300 –> 00:27:20,300
subpoenaed his neighbor.
Ignorantly, that is unawares.

450
00:27:20,400 –> 00:27:24,900
Whom he hated not in time past
and then we got illustrations as

451
00:27:24,900 –> 00:27:29,000
when a man goes into the forest,
with his neighbor to Word and

452
00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:32,000
his hand fetches, the stroke
with the ax to cut down the

453
00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:36,700
tree, and the head slippers from
the hell unlike Earth upon his

454
00:27:36,700 –> 00:27:40,100
neighbor that he die.
He shall flee to one of these

455
00:27:40,100 –> 00:27:43,100
cities and live less than here’s
the new man.

456
00:27:45,100 –> 00:27:50,200
The Avenger of blood revised
version leaves out the words,

457
00:27:50,200 –> 00:27:53,000
the blood there.
That’s the new man.

458
00:27:54,200 –> 00:27:56,900
So there is somebody who is now
called the Avenger of blood, who

459
00:27:56,900 –> 00:28:02,400
pursues the Slayer, But there is
automatic to do that renovate.

460
00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:05,900
You don’t quite get any
instruction as to how this

461
00:28:05,900 –> 00:28:10,300
Avenger of blood arises in the
sense of you can identify him as

462
00:28:10,300 –> 00:28:13,600
to who he is but it is very
difficult just to determine

463
00:28:14,800 –> 00:28:17,300
whether the Avenger of blood
already existed.

464
00:28:17,300 –> 00:28:20,500
Whether it was a custom for
example, that there should be an

465
00:28:20,500 –> 00:28:24,800
Avenger of blood but we do
discover who he is as time goes

466
00:28:24,800 –> 00:28:27,900
on places less the Avenger of
blood pursue the Slayer while

467
00:28:27,900 –> 00:28:30,000
his heart is Art and overtake
him.

468
00:28:30,100 –> 00:28:33,800
Because the way is long and slay
him, whereas, he was not worthy

469
00:28:33,800 –> 00:28:37,500
of death in as much as he hated
him, not in time past, so he’s

470
00:28:37,500 –> 00:28:42,100
not worthy of death in the sense
that he has committed murder,

471
00:28:43,100 –> 00:28:46,000
but he has got blood on his
hands because his friend has

472
00:28:46,000 –> 00:28:49,900
died or his neighbor has died.
And the Avenger of blood says

473
00:28:49,900 –> 00:28:51,200
that’s my brother.
Who’s dead?

474
00:28:52,600 –> 00:28:55,700
Are you stop pursuing?
And it’s the way I want Longo,

475
00:28:55,700 –> 00:28:58,500
crooked or difficult to find the
City of Refuge and he could

476
00:28:58,500 –> 00:29:01,300
overtake him.
And this man, he was not worthy

477
00:29:01,300 –> 00:29:05,500
of death as a murderer could, in
fact have been put to death, So

478
00:29:05,500 –> 00:29:08,800
then it says I command thee
saying Thou shalt separate the

479
00:29:08,800 –> 00:29:13,100
three cities and then there was
just the other possibility of

480
00:29:14,500 –> 00:29:16,900
three others being added in due
course.

481
00:29:17,500 –> 00:29:21,700
And he goes through this chapter
and it opens it out in a in in

482
00:29:21,700 –> 00:29:27,300
law It’s very interesting matter
when you read the law of Moses,

483
00:29:27,500 –> 00:29:30,900
have you noticed in the law of
Moses that they didn’t have

484
00:29:30,900 –> 00:29:34,600
prisms.
That’s a very interesting

485
00:29:34,600 –> 00:29:37,500
matter.
You know, you think I’m all the

486
00:29:37,508 –> 00:29:41,300
other penal systems that there
are throughout the world, what

487
00:29:41,300 –> 00:29:44,600
you’ve got in Australia, what we
have in Britain, right?

488
00:29:45,600 –> 00:29:50,000
The whole of that system depends
on having prisons places of

489
00:29:50,000 –> 00:29:52,900
detention.
Now, you don’t have places of

490
00:29:52,900 –> 00:29:54,900
detention under the law of
Moses.

491
00:29:56,500 –> 00:29:59,800
You have it an execution of a
law because people died, but it

492
00:29:59,800 –> 00:30:01,200
says there.
For example, if the man’s a

493
00:30:01,208 –> 00:30:04,400
murderer then verse 39 I shall
not pity him.

494
00:30:04,400 –> 00:30:06,400
At Thou shalt put away the guilt
of the innocent blood from

495
00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:08,500
Israel that it may go well with
thee.

496
00:30:08,800 –> 00:30:10,700
So if he’s a murderer away, he
goes.

497
00:30:11,900 –> 00:30:15,000
Once it was proven established
with the mouth of witnesses,

498
00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:19,200
then you execute the sentence on
the land eyes but in the other

499
00:30:19,200 –> 00:30:21,700
cases you see what is the man
was put in prison.

500
00:30:22,000 –> 00:30:29,400
He hunted make compensation 40
done, Now, these days prison is

501
00:30:29,400 –> 00:30:33,600
instead of compensation.
Under the moon almost you didn’t

502
00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:35,300
do that.
You had to make compensation.

503
00:30:35,300 –> 00:30:37,600
If you couldn’t pay because you
ended up the money, they had to

504
00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:40,300
sell your land to do it.
In other words, you would truly

505
00:30:40,300 –> 00:30:42,300
inconvenienced.
And if you have no land or

506
00:30:42,300 –> 00:30:46,000
nothing, then you yourself will
would have to go and sell

507
00:30:46,000 –> 00:30:51,400
yourself and become a sermon.
All right, so you are reduced to

508
00:30:51,400 –> 00:30:53,700
the law of Moses have.
A means of dealing with people.

509
00:30:54,100 –> 00:30:57,400
Now, you know, that’s what I
mean, is that we would want to

510
00:30:57,400 –> 00:31:00,300
use as followers of the Lord
Jesus Christ, but you can see

511
00:31:00,300 –> 00:31:02,700
what an advantage it would be in
society today.

512
00:31:04,200 –> 00:31:07,100
He may well be the when the
kingdom comes up, there will be

513
00:31:07,200 –> 00:31:09,200
there will be waves.
Although, you know, things were

514
00:31:09,200 –> 00:31:12,200
so much different.
But though the laws of God with

515
00:31:12,200 –> 00:31:16,300
very interesting for us, won’t
they then and which bit more

516
00:31:16,300 –> 00:31:19,100
easier to compare them with the,
with the law of Moses.

517
00:31:19,800 –> 00:31:25,400
Now this some vendor of blood
then I suppose, most of us know

518
00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:31,100
some of us know, But it’s
exactly the same word for

519
00:31:31,100 –> 00:31:36,200
Redeemer.
It’s the same world.

520
00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:43,500
This word Avenger is translated,
6 times, Avenger 11 times

521
00:31:43,500 –> 00:31:48,600
Kinsman, 14 times Redeemer and
seven times Revenger.

522
00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:50,600
All right.
So you can see entirely

523
00:31:50,600 –> 00:31:54,100
different different meanings in
a way of got an Avenger and a

524
00:31:54,100 –> 00:31:57,000
redeemer.
Now that’s a very interesting

525
00:31:57,000 –> 00:32:02,300
matter that’s the were so
redeeming was it were buying

526
00:32:02,300 –> 00:32:06,300
back and the Avenger of blood do
took the other man’s blood

527
00:32:06,300 –> 00:32:08,700
because his brother had been
killed or his Kinsmen of being

528
00:32:08,700 –> 00:32:12,600
killed was in fact in some way
taking that blood back in

529
00:32:12,600 –> 00:32:17,200
payment for this, all right.
Now as the idea of Redeemer

530
00:32:17,200 –> 00:32:20,600
develops you discover that the
Redeemer is in fact doing

531
00:32:20,900 –> 00:32:24,800
something like that but it’s
though it was the other as I

532
00:32:24,800 –> 00:32:27,700
grow the other side.
The coin when he comes to the

533
00:32:27,700 –> 00:32:31,900
Lord himself, then he provides
the blood to redeem the lives of

534
00:32:31,900 –> 00:32:34,100
others.
It’s a process that’s totally

535
00:32:34,100 –> 00:32:37,200
reversed in the Lord Jesus
Christ.

536
00:32:37,900 –> 00:32:40,900
You see our Kinsman is Jesus, as
we should receive.

537
00:32:42,100 –> 00:32:46,500
Alright, now that little
definition that we’ve had is all

538
00:32:46,500 –> 00:32:50,900
given in theory.
Most is doing it on the other

539
00:32:50,900 –> 00:32:53,500
side of Jordan before they enter
into the land.

540
00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:56,600
And so they could all this work
to do before them and these six

541
00:32:56,600 –> 00:33:01,700
cities were not established when
we move into the next book, it’s

542
00:33:01,700 –> 00:33:06,100
for real, right?
It’s for real.

543
00:33:07,000 –> 00:33:09,400
Let’s go then into Joshua
chapter 20.

544
00:33:09,900 –> 00:33:15,200
Now, this process is a is
developed Employee development.

545
00:33:24,200 –> 00:33:26,100
Titles and given everything is
here.

546
00:33:26,100 –> 00:33:32,000
It’s all within the definition
but it’s beautifully opened out.

547
00:33:33,500 –> 00:33:36,300
And you discover it wasn’t a
simple process at all.

548
00:33:37,100 –> 00:33:40,100
He didn’t just play the City of
Refuge and all was well.

549
00:33:42,300 –> 00:33:44,400
It has to be established.
That all was well.

550
00:33:47,000 –> 00:33:50,300
Come set for your stay in the
City of Refuge.

551
00:33:50,300 –> 00:33:51,900
So let’s just read this little
section.

552
00:33:51,900 –> 00:33:55,600
The beginning of verse 1, Joey
and then I’ll make some comments

553
00:33:55,600 –> 00:33:59,800
on it.
The Lord also spake unto Joshua

554
00:33:59,800 –> 00:34:03,700
saying speak to the children of
Israel saying, a point out for

555
00:34:03,700 –> 00:34:07,200
you, Cities of Refuge, where of,
I spake unto you by the hand of

556
00:34:07,200 –> 00:34:11,100
Moses, write Deuteronomy, 19 you
trying to me for extras 21, so

557
00:34:11,100 –> 00:34:14,300
God referring back.
Now, those writings were already

558
00:34:14,300 –> 00:34:16,300
in the hands of Joshua so he
could turn them up.

559
00:34:19,199 –> 00:34:24,500
Remember you can turn it off.
So God says, I will have a look

560
00:34:24,500 –> 00:34:26,900
at those laws again and get
those cities appointed.

561
00:34:28,100 –> 00:34:30,199
That the Slayer that kill is any
person.

562
00:34:30,300 –> 00:34:35,699
Unawares, unwittingly.
And unwittingly made under

563
00:34:35,699 –> 00:34:41,300
unwittingly made, for either.
And they shall be your Refuge

564
00:34:41,300 –> 00:34:47,199
from the Avenger of blood.
Now, notice how it works is now

565
00:34:47,199 –> 00:34:53,400
told us And when he that does
flee unto one of those cities,

566
00:34:53,400 –> 00:34:58,300
should stand the entering of the
Gate of the city and declare his

567
00:34:58,300 –> 00:35:02,300
cause in the ears of the Elders
of that City, they should take

568
00:35:02,300 –> 00:35:05,700
him into the city under them,
and give them a place that he

569
00:35:05,707 –> 00:35:08,600
may dwell among them.
So he meets the elders.

570
00:35:09,900 –> 00:35:12,800
And they take them in 3D just
run into the City and say, oh

571
00:35:12,800 –> 00:35:16,400
you know, I’d like to rent a
house here he comes in and the

572
00:35:16,408 –> 00:35:18,400
people meet him, it’s a vehicle
City.

573
00:35:18,400 –> 00:35:22,300
So the elders will believe eyes.
He wasn’t just any was coming in

574
00:35:22,300 –> 00:35:24,800
and it was anybody this was a
levitical city.

575
00:35:26,700 –> 00:35:29,800
So you know comes before people
who know the law of God, they

576
00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:33,100
know the law right?
So they can administer it

577
00:35:33,100 –> 00:35:35,000
because they know it on the
matter.

578
00:35:35,000 –> 00:35:42,100
Rise restless and perhaps afraid
and then finally really And then

579
00:35:42,100 –> 00:35:45,600
it says in verse 5.
And if the Avenger of blood

580
00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:49,000
pursue after him, then they
shall not deliver the Slayer up

581
00:35:49,000 –> 00:35:53,200
into his hand because he smote
his neighbor unwittingly and

582
00:35:53,200 –> 00:35:55,200
hated him, not a four-time.
So it’s funny.

583
00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:57,900
It clearly, isn’t it?
We get, we could almost do this

584
00:35:57,900 –> 00:35:59,000
now.
Couldn’t we having gone through

585
00:35:59,000 –> 00:36:01,300
it?
You could teach children this.

586
00:36:01,300 –> 00:36:03,200
Couldn’t you could have a little
City of Refuge in a Sunday

587
00:36:03,200 –> 00:36:05,000
school.
You could teach children how to

588
00:36:05,000 –> 00:36:07,900
do it.
I need your dwelling that city

589
00:36:07,900 –> 00:36:10,900
until you stand before.
The congregation for judgmental

590
00:36:10,900 –> 00:36:12,500
is going to understand for
judgment.

591
00:36:13,900 –> 00:36:15,500
She didn’t just come in and say
good morning here.

592
00:36:15,500 –> 00:36:17,600
I am, I’ll kill somebody.
Unawares.

593
00:36:17,600 –> 00:36:19,100
Could I please stay here and
they said yes.

594
00:36:19,100 –> 00:36:23,600
Come in not at all.
There’s going to be a judgment.

595
00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:27,700
So the whole thing had to be
open and manifest.

596
00:36:29,400 –> 00:36:34,300
You know, I like things open and
manifest and I’m sure that’s how

597
00:36:34,300 –> 00:36:37,800
we should deal with one another,
on all the kind of secretive.

598
00:36:37,900 –> 00:36:42,600
This is the go on, you know, I
just don’t like those because I

599
00:36:42,600 –> 00:36:44,200
don’t think it’s right before
God.

600
00:36:44,200 –> 00:36:48,600
That, that’s how we should deal.
We should elope only with one

601
00:36:48,600 –> 00:36:52,800
another totally openly, so that
if we, if we need help, we get

602
00:36:52,800 –> 00:36:55,000
it.
And if we are in error, then we

603
00:36:55,000 –> 00:36:58,900
are instructed but not
belabored, where helped but not

604
00:36:58,900 –> 00:37:00,500
as something comes asking.
You will go something.

605
00:37:00,500 –> 00:37:02,100
Another M.
Something else all the time.

606
00:37:02,100 –> 00:37:04,200
That’s a job business.
How are you?

607
00:37:05,600 –> 00:37:07,400
All right, well, that’s that’s
joab.

608
00:37:07,400 –> 00:37:12,700
Anybody can do that.
Alright, now, that that’s that,

609
00:37:12,700 –> 00:37:16,700
that practice is no good at all.
What we have to do is the other

610
00:37:16,700 –> 00:37:20,600
kind of other kind of work,
which is totally up.

611
00:37:20,600 –> 00:37:25,000
Because the thing is rhythms,
this is if we deal openly, we

612
00:37:25,000 –> 00:37:29,300
have nothing to fear I was
chained to the young people the

613
00:37:29,300 –> 00:37:31,800
other day.
Just think how much you’ve got

614
00:37:31,800 –> 00:37:33,900
to remember once you start
telling lies?

615
00:37:35,300 –> 00:37:37,800
You’ve got to remember the lies.
You told, as if they’re not

616
00:37:37,800 –> 00:37:40,600
true, you’ve got to remember
them, whereas, with truth, you

617
00:37:40,600 –> 00:37:44,100
don’t have to do that.
You’re not your mind isn’t all

618
00:37:44,100 –> 00:37:48,000
cluttered up with all those
things, but my mind isn’t

619
00:37:48,000 –> 00:37:50,200
trusted up.
You know, with those things that

620
00:37:50,200 –> 00:37:55,500
I just refused to go down the
road of being pressurized by any

621
00:37:55,500 –> 00:37:57,900
kind of system if you’re
perfectly open.

622
00:37:59,300 –> 00:38:03,700
Before the word of God.
And before God life is easy and

623
00:38:03,700 –> 00:38:08,900
it removes all the fears, all
the fears, because you stand

624
00:38:08,900 –> 00:38:12,500
before, God, and in prayer, a
everything is before him every

625
00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:15,300
night openly, he’s open to him
in any case.

626
00:38:15,600 –> 00:38:18,700
But the fact is, when you’re
doing it openly, it makes life,

627
00:38:18,700 –> 00:38:20,800
right?
That’s how it should be.

628
00:38:22,700 –> 00:38:24,200
All right, so they had to be a
judgment.

629
00:38:24,200 –> 00:38:27,900
In this particular case, many
could stay there, it says until

630
00:38:27,900 –> 00:38:30,200
the death of the high priest in
those day.

631
00:38:32,200 –> 00:38:34,100
Many could return to his home
after that.

632
00:38:35,300 –> 00:38:37,400
And here they are here.
The cities that were appointed

633
00:38:37,400 –> 00:38:40,600
in the midst of the Land.
There key dashing Galilee

634
00:38:40,700 –> 00:38:44,800
shechem in the Mount Ephraim and
then Hebron down in the South.

635
00:38:45,200 –> 00:38:49,600
All right.
So, they are on the other side.

636
00:38:49,607 –> 00:38:51,500
On the other side have been
mentioned and they’re the ones

637
00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:55,200
we’ve already seen and that they
are bees are and Rhema the Rhea

638
00:38:55,200 –> 00:38:58,900
Rhea, mosques and goal.
And so there they are all

639
00:38:58,900 –> 00:39:01,300
established.
Now to the law is fully known

640
00:39:02,200 –> 00:39:05,100
and the people would now be able
to administer that which is

641
00:39:05,100 –> 00:39:07,100
here.
I want to in chapter 21, by the

642
00:39:07,100 –> 00:39:10,000
way, you’ll discover that what
you have are the cities of the

643
00:39:10,008 –> 00:39:12,400
Levi.
And if you go through them,

644
00:39:12,400 –> 00:39:15,200
you’ll be able to count and find
these cities.

645
00:39:15,200 –> 00:39:17,000
They’re all there and you can
start underlining.

646
00:39:17,200 –> 00:39:19,600
Thus, it is The names of them
that are there.

647
00:39:19,600 –> 00:39:23,100
For example, have bronze in
verse 13 and shechem in verse 21

648
00:39:23,500 –> 00:39:27,500
and go lands in verse 27 and key
dishes are in verse 32 and

649
00:39:27,500 –> 00:39:31,200
pieces in verse 36 and ramoth is
in verse 38.

650
00:39:31,200 –> 00:39:32,800
So they’re all there and they
did it there.

651
00:39:32,900 –> 00:39:38,600
So they establish those fit in.
So there are all set up.

652
00:39:40,500 –> 00:39:47,000
Now, let’s just forget that it
is a refuge, and let’s take the

653
00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:52,800
Ecclesia.
Now, the Ecclesia in one

654
00:39:52,800 –> 00:39:56,400
sentence, in one sense is our
City of Refuge.

655
00:39:58,400 –> 00:40:03,500
All who come within the Ecclesia
have indeed been involved in

656
00:40:03,500 –> 00:40:08,800
that which the Avenger of blood.
Would seek.

657
00:40:09,000 –> 00:40:14,500
We are all sinners right on the
wages of sin is death.

658
00:40:14,500 –> 00:40:18,100
So death is in pursuit of us.
So let me go into the truth,

659
00:40:18,100 –> 00:40:20,100
shall enter into the ecclesial
life.

660
00:40:20,200 –> 00:40:24,400
We are now in the visible sense
within our City of Refuge.

661
00:40:24,500 –> 00:40:28,000
I know the highest Center which
I should speak his craft, but in

662
00:40:28,000 –> 00:40:32,400
the visible sense, we are in the
City of Refuge Have you noticed

663
00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:36,000
that there is a procedure then
for coming in to the occasion.

664
00:40:38,100 –> 00:40:41,500
As a matter of fact, and I guess
it’s interesting just to mention

665
00:40:41,500 –> 00:40:44,400
this lots of Australians travel
the world.

666
00:40:45,100 –> 00:40:48,500
All right, there’s two young
Australian said to me, when I

667
00:40:48,500 –> 00:40:51,000
said, what on Earth, do you
manage to travel?

668
00:40:51,200 –> 00:40:52,800
Yeah.
You’re 17 and 18.

669
00:40:52,900 –> 00:40:55,700
How do you manage to travel and
come here to Britain like this?

670
00:40:56,500 –> 00:40:58,800
I was 34 before I ever I went to
bra.

671
00:40:59,300 –> 00:41:01,400
Oh, they said we think the world
owes us something.

672
00:41:02,100 –> 00:41:05,300
Well I suppose that’s what you
feel.

673
00:41:05,300 –> 00:41:07,700
Like if you live in Australia
the world I don’t know what it

674
00:41:07,900 –> 00:41:10,800
Push the radio you because
you’ve got everything, you know

675
00:41:10,800 –> 00:41:15,400
however that’s what they wanted.
But lots of Australians arrived

676
00:41:15,500 –> 00:41:18,600
without any letter of
recommendation.

677
00:41:19,900 –> 00:41:24,500
From their occasion.
All right, but just turn up and

678
00:41:24,500 –> 00:41:26,600
say that I am brother so-and-so
from Senator.

679
00:41:27,000 –> 00:41:29,700
All right.
We’re accepted in the breaking

680
00:41:29,700 –> 00:41:32,800
of bread.
If you read, however, the Thomas

681
00:41:32,800 –> 00:41:36,100
traveled around, when you arrive
in New York, you remember from

682
00:41:36,100 –> 00:41:38,700
the Marquess of Wellesley that
they thought were going to go to

683
00:41:38,700 –> 00:41:40,200
the bottom.
When he arrived in New York in

684
00:41:40,200 –> 00:41:43,500
got letters of recommendation in
his pocket, he wanting the truth

685
00:41:43,600 –> 00:41:46,900
but he admits a recommendation.
I’m sure I was able to go to two

686
00:41:46,900 –> 00:41:48,100
people.
I think the first one was the

687
00:41:48,100 –> 00:41:51,000
head of the Baptist Union and
the second one was a medical

688
00:41:51,000 –> 00:41:54,000
place so we’re able to go longer
produced a letter that said that

689
00:41:54,000 –> 00:41:57,800
he was in good standing.
Now I’m all in favor of people

690
00:41:57,800 –> 00:42:00,100
having letters to show that
they’re in good standing.

691
00:42:01,700 –> 00:42:04,500
All right, and it helps a great
deal.

692
00:42:06,400 –> 00:42:08,700
And when we transfer between
occasions and I take it that

693
00:42:08,700 –> 00:42:10,800
this happens in Australia that
you have letters of

694
00:42:10,800 –> 00:42:13,500
recommendation between the
collisions and that’s a good

695
00:42:13,500 –> 00:42:17,600
thing that is right.
What are the procedures and

696
00:42:17,600 –> 00:42:20,000
India and Joshua 20?
And you see the result here?

697
00:42:22,100 –> 00:42:31,000
All right, so he arrives.
And he turns up a sterling says

698
00:42:31,200 –> 00:42:34,500
in verse 4, when he said there,
I want to join Sterling meeting.

699
00:42:35,200 –> 00:42:38,000
What do you got to see the
elders or the equivalent of the

700
00:42:38,000 –> 00:42:41,200
elders?
All right, because it’s the

701
00:42:41,200 –> 00:42:45,600
elders that she’ll take him in.
Because he’s going to receive

702
00:42:45,600 –> 00:42:48,300
him in, but the, the elders are
the ones who do it on behalf of

703
00:42:48,300 –> 00:42:51,400
the Ecclesia.
I’m not happens at least not

704
00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:54,300
when somebody was used to wish
to come right from outside.

705
00:42:54,300 –> 00:42:57,400
And they wish to be a member
then the elders take them in.

706
00:42:57,400 –> 00:43:00,500
They are the ones who carry out
all the appointed people carry

707
00:43:00,500 –> 00:43:03,800
out is the ordinary way of
inquiry.

708
00:43:04,800 –> 00:43:08,300
Now here some people say well we
are not very well, we think what

709
00:43:08,300 –> 00:43:11,400
a drop is idea of talking to
people who want to be baptized.

710
00:43:11,500 –> 00:43:15,800
Just let him come in.
Because, who are we interview

711
00:43:15,800 –> 00:43:17,700
them?
Now, I know that some interviews

712
00:43:18,300 –> 00:43:22,400
are grueling Affairs as though
it was a kind of examination,

713
00:43:22,400 –> 00:43:24,500
that was taking place, we stop
and examine it.

714
00:43:26,000 –> 00:43:28,600
Is the testimony of an
examination.

715
00:43:28,600 –> 00:43:31,600
Does he ever get 95%?
We’re going to recycle the kings

716
00:43:31,600 –> 00:43:35,700
of Judah, the Kings of Israel.
All right, any parent can do

717
00:43:35,700 –> 00:43:38,100
that.
We don’t baptized parents.

718
00:43:43,500 –> 00:43:45,600
But we do need a knowledge of
the word of God.

719
00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:49,400
All right, that’s lots of
interviews that take place and I

720
00:43:49,400 –> 00:43:51,700
don’t know whether interviews in
this part of the world, take

721
00:43:51,700 –> 00:43:55,400
place, public a, would somebody
say whether they do, they don’t

722
00:43:56,500 –> 00:43:57,700
they do instantly.
That’s right.

723
00:43:57,700 –> 00:44:00,500
And they do if they did in
certain parts of Britain, they

724
00:44:00,500 –> 00:44:03,300
all took place publicly in
Sydney.

725
00:44:03,300 –> 00:44:06,100
Now it’s optional.
I think you can actually do it

726
00:44:06,100 –> 00:44:09,100
in public if you wish your or
you can actually say that you

727
00:44:09,100 –> 00:44:12,500
don’t wish to do it in public
with testify before brethren.

728
00:44:13,200 –> 00:44:15,800
What I would say about
interviewing for baptism, for

729
00:44:15,800 –> 00:44:18,000
the young folks here.
It’s going to be your job when

730
00:44:18,000 –> 00:44:20,700
you call.
What are you trying to find out?

731
00:44:21,700 –> 00:44:23,900
That’s the question.
What are you trying to find out?

732
00:44:25,200 –> 00:44:27,300
Now don’t don’t make yourself
God.

733
00:44:28,500 –> 00:44:32,500
Because you’re not gone and
you’re not Jesus, You’ve Got No

734
00:44:32,500 –> 00:44:37,400
Authority as Authority.
All these happenings at somebody

735
00:44:37,400 –> 00:44:40,300
wishes to join a
christadelphians meeting, that’s

736
00:44:40,300 –> 00:44:42,600
what we have settling, we’re not
stopping the person’s Eternal

737
00:44:42,600 –> 00:44:45,500
Faith before God that doesn’t
doesn’t fall into the hands of

738
00:44:45,500 –> 00:44:47,900
men.
Even when we withdraw from

739
00:44:47,900 –> 00:44:49,600
somebody, we haven’t determined
their faith.

740
00:44:50,100 –> 00:44:53,300
That’s for God to do.
What we have determined is a

741
00:44:53,308 –> 00:44:56,000
relationship with the Ecclesia.
That’s all you can’t determine

742
00:44:56,000 –> 00:44:58,200
more than that.
That you re very carefully.

743
00:44:58,400 –> 00:45:01,200
Robert on that subject e.
Definitely comment.

744
00:45:01,200 –> 00:45:03,700
Sometimes we behave as though we
were gone.

745
00:45:04,700 –> 00:45:08,100
There’s that we were pronouncing
was the final judgement of God.

746
00:45:09,300 –> 00:45:12,500
That’s terrible.
Unless that everybody should

747
00:45:12,500 –> 00:45:15,200
think that that was right.
What are we going to do then

748
00:45:15,200 –> 00:45:16,900
what we’re trying to find out.
First of all, it’s do you

749
00:45:16,900 –> 00:45:19,800
believe the things concerning
the kingdom of God and the name

750
00:45:19,800 –> 00:45:22,900
of Jesus Christ?
That’s the first thing.

751
00:45:23,500 –> 00:45:27,800
And so we discussed that now I
know it’s not very easy.

752
00:45:27,800 –> 00:45:31,900
As a matter of fact that I when
I interview people, I never go

753
00:45:31,900 –> 00:45:36,200
through the same pattern, never,
because of what I would ask is,

754
00:45:36,200 –> 00:45:39,400
why do you want to be baptized
nicer?

755
00:45:39,400 –> 00:45:42,600
Person says in answer to that.
I want to get out of Darkness

756
00:45:42,600 –> 00:45:46,000
into light, then I would follow
from that answer and ask all the

757
00:45:46,000 –> 00:45:50,300
other questions based on that.
I don’t say if you will answer

758
00:45:50,300 –> 00:45:51,700
the questions in the order that
I’m putting them.

759
00:45:51,900 –> 00:45:55,200
It because that’s not right.
And what the person is doing is

760
00:45:55,200 –> 00:45:59,200
to make his own witness, right
pivoting, get it from him.

761
00:46:00,400 –> 00:46:02,700
Because it won’t you do it with
your questions and give you your

762
00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:05,600
answer, right?
And if you’re in, Nigeria do

763
00:46:05,600 –> 00:46:08,400
that all the time but this isn’t
it.

764
00:46:08,400 –> 00:46:12,200
The life that follows baptism
now, usually all the negatives

765
00:46:12,200 –> 00:46:15,700
of given the variability.
True, don’t do this, don’t get

766
00:46:15,700 –> 00:46:17,800
one.
But the thing is, what do we do?

767
00:46:18,100 –> 00:46:21,200
You know, we don’t vote, we
don’t fight with us, he’s always

768
00:46:21,200 –> 00:46:24,000
want to know what to do.
Not know, not, what don’t I do,

769
00:46:24,600 –> 00:46:27,200
you know that very frequently
when people ask, you know, what,

770
00:46:27,200 –> 00:46:29,300
Chris don’t really believe where
we don’t believe in the Trinity.

771
00:46:29,300 –> 00:46:32,800
We don’t believe in the devil.
What do you believe now?

772
00:46:32,800 –> 00:46:36,200
Really, we ought to be positive
about what we believe and that

773
00:46:36,200 –> 00:46:39,800
ought to be will I don’t be
strong what our phase is and I

774
00:46:39,800 –> 00:46:44,100
believe that in an interview
there is a lot of help to be

775
00:46:44,100 –> 00:46:47,000
given in this matter of the
life.

776
00:46:47,600 –> 00:46:52,000
So that it all brought out of
what it is to live as a disciple

777
00:46:52,000 –> 00:46:55,300
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
So he stands at the entrance of

778
00:46:55,300 –> 00:46:57,200
the gate, you haven’t come in
the city.

779
00:46:58,600 –> 00:47:02,800
He declares his cause, right?
So I want to join this Ecclesia

780
00:47:02,800 –> 00:47:07,200
out of outside or from another
Ecclesia and the elders examine

781
00:47:07,200 –> 00:47:09,500
it.
And then it says, notice in

782
00:47:09,500 –> 00:47:17,600
verse 4 of Joshua 24, they shall
take him into the city.

783
00:47:21,500 –> 00:47:25,200
So they make him outside the
city and they take him in and he

784
00:47:25,200 –> 00:47:29,300
goes in with the elders, right?
Not going alone.

785
00:47:29,300 –> 00:47:33,900
Now, he’s going in with them.
They shall take him into the

786
00:47:33,900 –> 00:47:36,400
City and you know, that word
take there.

787
00:47:38,300 –> 00:47:42,400
That’s the word ASAP that’s
beheading of a lot of sounds.

788
00:47:44,900 –> 00:47:46,800
You know, those psalms have got
ASAP at the heading.

789
00:47:47,200 –> 00:47:49,300
That’s it.
That’s the word.

790
00:47:49,600 –> 00:47:52,700
And it means to gather.
So what the elders do to put

791
00:47:52,700 –> 00:47:55,700
their arms around and bring in
to the city.

792
00:47:56,500 –> 00:47:58,400
You have to stand there and like
a signpost.

793
00:47:58,400 –> 00:48:02,400
And just point the way because
we shall discover, they have now

794
00:48:02,400 –> 00:48:09,400
accepted Fellowship. is why the
questioning database, Know so

795
00:48:09,400 –> 00:48:12,300
well when I interview people I
said to them look the reason for

796
00:48:12,300 –> 00:48:16,300
our interviewing is this we want
you to be absolutely certain

797
00:48:16,600 –> 00:48:21,200
that you know all about us and
we want to be certain that you

798
00:48:21,200 –> 00:48:24,900
are the kind of person that we
are and wants them to be.

799
00:48:24,900 –> 00:48:27,600
And that’s the reason why we
talk, you can ask us any

800
00:48:27,600 –> 00:48:30,400
questions you have been doing
Brethren, don’t do that.

801
00:48:31,500 –> 00:48:34,300
You know, nothing at all.
All a one-sided matter you

802
00:48:34,300 –> 00:48:37,200
didn’t a one-sided matter.
The person’s life is now going

803
00:48:37,200 –> 00:48:39,300
to be changed.
He’s entitled to ask any

804
00:48:39,300 –> 00:48:43,100
question he wishes.
Write a nice.

805
00:48:43,100 –> 00:48:46,200
I say to folks who come to our
community, that our community is

806
00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:51,000
not perfect.
I’ve got to All right.

807
00:48:52,500 –> 00:48:55,400
Now, that’s an important matter.
You’ve got to do and so he comes

808
00:48:55,400 –> 00:48:58,400
to Australia, you’ve got to
them.

809
00:48:58,400 –> 00:49:00,600
Whenever When anybody wants to
emigrate they come and say

810
00:49:00,600 –> 00:49:03,200
what’s life like in Australia,
she got to say what it’s like,

811
00:49:04,300 –> 00:49:11,500
They say, never never, you know,
that’s not passing.

812
00:49:11,500 –> 00:49:13,900
Judgment agree, as I say it.
Totally unique.

813
00:49:14,900 –> 00:49:17,500
Totally, you need didn’t exist
anywhere else.

814
00:49:19,100 –> 00:49:21,500
And that.
So they try to understand me

815
00:49:22,200 –> 00:49:25,500
their puzzles.
They they really are puzzles and

816
00:49:25,500 –> 00:49:29,300
you say, well look, you really
got to accept a situation that’s

817
00:49:29,500 –> 00:49:32,700
how it is and that’s not pass.
Judgment on it.

818
00:49:32,900 –> 00:49:35,500
Lets you want to go and live.
There after situation do it with

819
00:49:35,600 –> 00:49:37,000
a mouse which you’re going to
live.

820
00:49:37,200 –> 00:49:40,900
Make the best of a situation as
Isaac Collier.

821
00:49:40,900 –> 00:49:47,200
Said, if anything is Under
Suspicion, raise it above

822
00:49:47,200 –> 00:49:52,300
suspicion by Hey, that’s the
way, but we have a chance

823
00:49:52,300 –> 00:49:55,600
Behavior by your behavior.
Raise it, above suspicion.

824
00:49:55,800 –> 00:49:58,600
And I respect my brothers and I
respect them.

825
00:49:59,100 –> 00:50:02,900
It’s Central and in Sterling.
And in yoga?

826
00:50:04,500 –> 00:50:07,900
In all three phases, and I don’t
pass judgment.

827
00:50:08,700 –> 00:50:11,200
That’s not my concern.
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not

828
00:50:11,200 –> 00:50:13,100
allowed at a jacket and I’m not
gone.

829
00:50:13,900 –> 00:50:16,100
What you have to do, is to
respect your brethren, may not

830
00:50:16,100 –> 00:50:19,700
be understand their situation,
you’re not in it, so you can’t

831
00:50:19,700 –> 00:50:22,700
understand it.
You don’t know the history if we

832
00:50:22,700 –> 00:50:25,100
learn to have respect one for
another, it makes great

833
00:50:25,100 –> 00:50:27,500
progress.
All right.

834
00:50:27,500 –> 00:50:30,900
Then this word gather there, let
me just show you a couple of the

835
00:50:30,900 –> 00:50:34,300
ASAP.
Psalms Put it on a marker in

836
00:50:34,400 –> 00:50:36,800
your Joshua passage because
you’re going to come back to

837
00:50:36,800 –> 00:50:39,300
him.
Covering come to Psalm 27.

838
00:50:44,300 –> 00:50:45,800
In fact, the fire before I do
that.

839
00:50:45,800 –> 00:50:48,400
This one, would you like to send
that saying that s him?

840
00:50:48,400 –> 00:50:51,100
Actually what I’ve got?
My problem is gee, I chose all

841
00:50:51,100 –> 00:50:55,100
these hymns and by the way,
Brethren from Central, thank

842
00:50:55,100 –> 00:50:58,500
you, Sue from Central and from
Sterling, I chose, and most of

843
00:50:58,500 –> 00:50:59,800
them.
So we could all sing them for be

844
00:50:59,800 –> 00:51:03,300
noticed that when I set out
doing that might not be at all.

845
00:51:03,300 –> 00:51:05,700
We’ve been able to do that but I
set out not to embarrass

846
00:51:05,700 –> 00:51:07,300
anybody.
Alright?

847
00:51:07,800 –> 00:51:10,300
So I hope we all sing them.
The now may occasionally of

848
00:51:10,300 –> 00:51:12,400
slipped up because I haven’t got
the old in book with me.

849
00:51:12,400 –> 00:51:15,400
But generally speaking of chosen
So that everybody can sing them,

850
00:51:16,000 –> 00:51:16,800
right?
The next one.

851
00:51:16,800 –> 00:51:19,200
Then I’d home.
You see, we sing that second him

852
00:51:19,200 –> 00:51:22,400
after the reading one really
meant to be put in between the

853
00:51:22,400 –> 00:51:25,700
will put it in between.
I’m number 11.

854
00:51:25,700 –> 00:51:29,000
Then God is my strong salvation.
I’m 27.

855
00:51:34,000 –> 00:51:38,000
Now here’s the doesn’t say it’s
an ASAP song but I want to just

856
00:51:38,000 –> 00:51:42,000
to bring you to where the where
the word occur.

857
00:51:42,800 –> 00:51:49,000
Here it is in verse 10 when my
father and my mother forsake me.

858
00:51:51,200 –> 00:51:54,400
Then the Lord will take me up
and that’s it.

859
00:51:54,700 –> 00:51:58,100
Gather me up.
Now there are some there may be

860
00:51:58,100 –> 00:52:01,600
some in this room whose parents
have forsaken, then.

861
00:52:02,800 –> 00:52:08,800
Alright, we have one sister who
regards sister Bernice and me is

862
00:52:09,500 –> 00:52:18,400
if actually writes to us as My
second father and mother

863
00:52:18,400 –> 00:52:22,700
bracket, my first really bracket
that’s just because her father

864
00:52:22,700 –> 00:52:26,200
mother The Zone her when she
came into the truth.

865
00:52:27,100 –> 00:52:32,000
All right, so she wanted a
father, a mother and well that’s

866
00:52:32,000 –> 00:52:35,400
what we are.
But I take this to me and this

867
00:52:35,400 –> 00:52:40,200
is what we all experience.
Finally, when our parents died.

868
00:52:41,500 –> 00:52:46,900
I’m absent, always hard when it
happens, you know, men sometimes

869
00:52:46,900 –> 00:52:48,100
piece.
I’m going to be hard when your

870
00:52:48,100 –> 00:52:51,800
father dies, you remember.
And remember repeatedly, all

871
00:52:51,800 –> 00:52:57,200
right, God gathers us up.
He’s our Everlasting father

872
00:52:57,300 –> 00:53:00,300
only.
And he takes care of it.

873
00:53:00,500 –> 00:53:04,900
Now this is a great consolation,
you know, We’re never forsaken,

874
00:53:05,800 –> 00:53:09,800
I will never never leave thee,
nor will I, in any wise for

875
00:53:09,800 –> 00:53:12,500
safely?
Now, you can’t have a greater

876
00:53:12,500 –> 00:53:16,000
promise on that.
I will never never leave these

877
00:53:16,900 –> 00:53:18,900
nor will, I, anyways were
safely.

878
00:53:20,100 –> 00:53:23,700
We’re poor.
Imitators of God, only poor

879
00:53:23,700 –> 00:53:26,800
imitators of God.
We leave one another.

880
00:53:28,700 –> 00:53:31,300
All right, the great thing about
friendship is when the French

881
00:53:31,300 –> 00:53:34,800
stands by you, when you’ve done
wrong, isn’t it?

882
00:53:36,100 –> 00:53:38,400
Well, I went to see when it
comes to going into court and

883
00:53:38,400 –> 00:53:41,900
he’s still there, he’s still
stand by you, all right,

884
00:53:42,800 –> 00:53:45,100
marvelous when the friend goes
through, and they’ll be will say

885
00:53:45,100 –> 00:53:47,200
about the friend.
Oh, we must be one like him

886
00:53:47,200 –> 00:53:50,700
there but he isn’t.
But he’s going to stand by him

887
00:53:50,700 –> 00:53:55,800
because he’s made that bond in
friendships name and everything

888
00:53:55,800 –> 00:53:56,800
to stand by him.
No.

889
00:53:56,800 –> 00:53:58,400
But he made it in the name of a
brother.

890
00:53:58,400 –> 00:54:00,900
You’ve got to stand because a
man is always a brother, isn’t

891
00:54:00,900 –> 00:54:03,500
he?
Then he doesn’t not become a

892
00:54:03,500 –> 00:54:07,900
brother because he sins Paul
says in Corinthians if he that

893
00:54:07,900 –> 00:54:11,800
is called a brother, does some,
so she never loses that title.

894
00:54:11,800 –> 00:54:15,400
What we’ve got to try to do is
to imitate God in that, which he

895
00:54:15,400 –> 00:54:20,900
does Psalm 50, You remember this
one?

896
00:54:26,300 –> 00:54:28,700
This is and this is a Psalm of
asaph at the heading.

897
00:54:28,700 –> 00:54:37,000
All right.
And it says in verse 5 gather my

898
00:54:37,000 –> 00:54:40,400
Saints together unto me though,
to the made a covenant with me

899
00:54:40,400 –> 00:54:43,900
by sacrifice, but there is a
gathering in this song.

900
00:54:43,900 –> 00:54:46,000
I’m not even sure.
That’s the same Hebrew word, but

901
00:54:46,000 –> 00:54:49,700
taking the heading of a savvier,
the idea is carried on this is

902
00:54:49,900 –> 00:54:52,300
this is going to be when he
comes to judge the Earth, by the

903
00:54:52,300 –> 00:54:54,900
way, in very small.
So at the end, God is going to

904
00:54:54,908 –> 00:54:58,100
gather his Saints together.
That was in Matthew 13.

905
00:54:58,100 –> 00:55:00,700
That we read on Sunday evening.
Last evening.

906
00:55:00,700 –> 00:55:04,700
You remember, He Shall Gather
them and the You can do is gone.

907
00:55:04,700 –> 00:55:06,900
I want to see this.
All right.

908
00:55:06,900 –> 00:55:10,300
I miss being faithful to the end
that will cause us to be

909
00:55:10,300 –> 00:55:15,000
accepted.
Psalm 73 just have a look at

910
00:55:15,000 –> 00:55:19,200
some of these worst yard while
taking this these ASAP Psalms

911
00:55:19,200 –> 00:55:25,300
for yourself and read them
quietly. there is somebody

912
00:55:25,300 –> 00:55:31,800
called ASAP, all right, if you
want to sort of, Develop it as a

913
00:55:31,800 –> 00:55:38,600
name but the fact is it is an
idea that here and in this 73rd

914
00:55:38,600 –> 00:55:45,800
is the idea of drawing near to
God and discovering in fact that

915
00:55:45,800 –> 00:55:50,400
all your questions are answered.
only, when you go into the

916
00:55:50,408 –> 00:55:55,500
sanctuary, In the beginning of
this song, you remember, he got

917
00:55:55,500 –> 00:56:00,600
a problem from the problem was.
All right, why do the wicked

918
00:56:00,600 –> 00:56:04,300
prosper?
And why do the righteous seem to

919
00:56:04,300 –> 00:56:06,700
serve?
But is no answer to that

920
00:56:06,700 –> 00:56:08,500
question.
You know, you can’t answer that

921
00:56:08,500 –> 00:56:11,400
question.
When somebody ask you that very

922
00:56:11,400 –> 00:56:13,800
question.
You can’t, you can’t answer that

923
00:56:13,800 –> 00:56:16,400
question.
That’s before.

924
00:56:16,400 –> 00:56:19,600
Will answer ask that question.
You know, the mother who lost

925
00:56:20,100 –> 00:56:24,100
four children in the bus
accident in France, For

926
00:56:24,100 –> 00:56:27,800
children.
When she came to your house and

927
00:56:27,800 –> 00:56:32,900
said why you stay just saying
what all Mortal man’s mortal is

928
00:56:32,900 –> 00:56:35,300
it that doesn’t answer the
question.

929
00:56:35,600 –> 00:56:37,700
That doesn’t answer the
question, because it happens in

930
00:56:37,700 –> 00:56:41,300
the truth, doesn’t it?
But it sometimes it is a good

931
00:56:41,300 –> 00:56:46,300
family.
Where the wife dies of cancer,

932
00:56:46,300 –> 00:56:48,900
and they say the other family,
you know, you thought that well,

933
00:56:48,900 –> 00:56:51,600
these might happen there because
things weren’t going right, but

934
00:56:51,600 –> 00:56:54,900
they seem to prosper.
But with David problem the other

935
00:56:54,900 –> 00:56:59,000
day, answer, not humanly, but he
had an answer when he went into

936
00:56:59,000 –> 00:57:03,500
verse 17.
Until I went into the sanctuary

937
00:57:03,500 –> 00:57:09,000
of God.
And understood their revised

938
00:57:09,000 –> 00:57:13,300
version, latter end.
That’s what my that’s all that

939
00:57:13,300 –> 00:57:16,900
matters.
The latter end all the

940
00:57:16,900 –> 00:57:20,200
intervening things don’t matter.
In the end they are painful to

941
00:57:20,200 –> 00:57:24,900
Bear if we’re bereaved when we
are young or you know, we have

942
00:57:24,900 –> 00:57:27,700
sufferings.
But what is the latter end?

943
00:57:27,700 –> 00:57:30,300
That’s all that matters because
in the end God shall wipe away

944
00:57:30,300 –> 00:57:32,100
every tear.
And if we are right at the

945
00:57:32,100 –> 00:57:35,900
latter end, then all our answers
will be of God.

946
00:57:37,500 –> 00:57:40,600
But in Psalm 77 leaders, the
same thing again because he

947
00:57:40,600 –> 00:57:46,400
says, if you notice verse 13,
thy way o God is in the

948
00:57:46,400 –> 00:57:49,800
sanctuary and you can’t dictate,
you can’t Divine the Lord’s way.

949
00:57:49,800 –> 00:57:52,400
Without going to the sanctuary
to the very heart of things.

950
00:57:52,400 –> 00:57:55,400
It’s only when he come to the
mercy seat and the glory of God

951
00:57:55,400 –> 00:57:58,100
together, that you’ve arrived at
the understanding of all that

952
00:57:58,100 –> 00:58:01,300
there is in God because that’s
where the name of God is fully

953
00:58:01,600 –> 00:58:05,800
revealed in that one place where
you find all these have Psalms

954
00:58:05,800 –> 00:58:09,000
go on and on.
There’s a whole series of them

955
00:58:09,200 –> 00:58:14,800
of the sh sound, somebody
recommend them to you ASAP

956
00:58:14,800 –> 00:58:18,100
sounds have a look at them at
home and see if you can get some

957
00:58:18,100 –> 00:58:21,300
kind of theme that runs through
the mix, a little study that

958
00:58:21,300 –> 00:58:23,200
anybody can conduct you can do
it yourself, sister.

959
00:58:23,200 –> 00:58:25,900
It’s not hard.
Just in those moments that

960
00:58:25,900 –> 00:58:28,100
you’ve got to take the weight,
off your feet, get your Bible

961
00:58:28,100 –> 00:58:32,500
out and have a look at the ASAP.
Sounds Let’s go back to Joshua

962
00:58:32,500 –> 00:58:35,000
because you’ll discover that
there’s another deliberate act

963
00:58:35,000 –> 00:58:37,000
that they’ve got to do it ever
so interesting.

964
00:58:38,400 –> 00:58:40,200
These Elders.
Right?

965
00:58:40,200 –> 00:58:42,200
I talked about these on
Saturday, but now we’re just

966
00:58:42,200 –> 00:58:46,700
having a look at them in another
function, so they take him into

967
00:58:46,700 –> 00:58:47,900
the city.
All right?

968
00:58:47,900 –> 00:58:50,900
They baptize him and say, well,
there you are, you’re in, is

969
00:58:50,900 –> 00:58:53,100
that what they do?
Oh no, they don’t.

970
00:58:54,100 –> 00:58:59,000
They take him into the City and
they give him a place.

971
00:59:00,900 –> 00:59:03,800
Now, the number of people who
have ties them and then leave

972
00:59:03,800 –> 00:59:07,300
them.
You’ve got to give them a place.

973
00:59:08,300 –> 00:59:10,900
Everybody likes a place.
Don’t you can see the face

974
00:59:10,900 –> 00:59:12,800
really come around there.
You know, second all sitting in

975
00:59:12,800 –> 00:59:15,400
my seat.
You know, we know is that all

976
00:59:15,400 –> 00:59:17,800
seats free, no connection but
all sitting in my seat.

977
00:59:18,300 –> 00:59:20,100
All right, I do exactly the
same.

978
00:59:20,200 –> 00:59:23,800
No, I haven’t looked as well, we
don’t really mean it but this

979
00:59:23,800 –> 00:59:25,400
axis we all like to have a
place.

980
00:59:25,400 –> 00:59:27,500
Don’t lie.
Lucy.

981
00:59:29,300 –> 00:59:32,100
Now, I think you see, can you
see what’s happening now, the

982
00:59:32,100 –> 00:59:35,400
elders are now taking the
responsibility of Fellowship.

983
00:59:36,900 –> 00:59:41,500
So they give him a plate.
That’s very beautiful.

984
00:59:42,500 –> 00:59:45,100
How do we do this with everybody
who comes into the Ecclesia?

985
00:59:45,100 –> 00:59:47,400
Do we make quite sure?
They’ve got a place.

986
00:59:48,800 –> 00:59:50,300
Or do we just leave them high
and dry?

987
00:59:50,900 –> 00:59:55,000
You know that if somebody else
do they all look after them

988
00:59:55,900 –> 00:59:58,000
isn’t how we behave.
We shouldn’t do that.

989
00:59:58,400 –> 01:00:00,700
By the way, to give people a
place to make them feel at home,

990
01:00:00,700 –> 01:00:03,200
and you should be in your home
from time to time.

991
01:00:05,400 –> 01:00:08,700
All right, from time to time the
fucking enough was I was saying

992
01:00:08,700 –> 01:00:12,300
on Saturday, not enough of this
matter of that kind of

993
01:00:12,300 –> 01:00:16,500
hospitality show.
That we receive a lot of time.

994
01:00:16,500 –> 01:00:19,500
This why?
We’re here and that kind of

995
01:00:19,500 –> 01:00:24,500
opportunity is shown now, let me
extend that to other people and

996
01:00:24,500 –> 01:00:25,800
it makes a difference.
You know, when you have people

997
01:00:25,800 –> 01:00:28,300
in your home, you’d be surprised
what a difference.

998
01:00:28,300 –> 01:00:32,400
It makes to your home, not only
for them now.

999
01:00:34,900 –> 01:00:36,900
You know, the verse about Moses
on this Earth.

1000
01:00:37,200 –> 01:00:39,800
It’s one of my favorite verses
of scripture, I got one or two

1001
01:00:39,800 –> 01:00:43,900
of these favorites.
Exodus 33, we seen it.

1002
01:00:44,200 –> 01:00:49,400
Oh, marvelous marvelous.
If you want lifting up.

1003
01:00:49,400 –> 01:00:53,300
Absolutely exalting.
It’s just here.

1004
01:00:53,900 –> 01:00:57,200
Now, we’re going to all these
complicated things.

1005
01:00:57,700 –> 01:01:00,400
We are specialists in making the
simple complicated.

1006
01:01:01,000 –> 01:01:04,000
You know, if it can result in
plain English, then say it in

1007
01:01:04,000 –> 01:01:07,100
Hebrew.
Right, but none of us know

1008
01:01:07,100 –> 01:01:10,500
Hebrew, you know, in fact,
somebody came in walking here

1009
01:01:10,500 –> 01:01:15,000
talking Hebrew would say, pardon
because we don’t understand now

1010
01:01:15,000 –> 01:01:18,500
II consult Hebrew and I look it
up and Greek.

1011
01:01:19,700 –> 01:01:23,800
But I don’t use it in addresses
would all sound very clever,

1012
01:01:23,800 –> 01:01:24,900
wouldn’t it?
What if you use it?

1013
01:01:24,900 –> 01:01:28,500
But what’s the point?
We can speaking.

1014
01:01:28,500 –> 01:01:30,600
And if you can’t understand
English, you can’t understand

1015
01:01:30,600 –> 01:01:33,500
it.
Because the other is only a kind

1016
01:01:33,500 –> 01:01:37,600
of engli, angry size matter.
You see use a bit of green

1017
01:01:37,600 –> 01:01:38,900
Group, whatever never pronounce
it, right?

1018
01:01:38,900 –> 01:01:41,900
They rightly boost pronounce it.
We just pretend to like an

1019
01:01:41,900 –> 01:01:44,200
Englishman.
Pronounces it, that’s what

1020
01:01:44,200 –> 01:01:47,900
Englishmen do and they you know
they don’t can’t speak foreign

1021
01:01:47,900 –> 01:01:50,800
languages are only two ways to
do it speak slowly and Shout

1022
01:01:50,900 –> 01:01:53,100
that’s how then they understand
English.

1023
01:01:53,100 –> 01:01:54,600
That’s you can see them doing
it.

1024
01:01:54,600 –> 01:01:56,200
You know, when you something,
you meet somebody who can’t

1025
01:01:56,200 –> 01:01:58,900
speak English, you start a new
Sleek very slowly when he

1026
01:01:58,900 –> 01:02:01,800
doesn’t understand even shouted
in thinking that, he’s going to

1027
01:02:02,000 –> 01:02:05,200
Stanley.
What is this matter of

1028
01:02:05,200 –> 01:02:07,800
complicating things.
I just look at this very

1029
01:02:07,800 –> 01:02:14,300
beautiful record.
Moses is wanting hell.

1030
01:02:16,700 –> 01:02:20,800
And he’s asking God for now God
been giving him help because in

1031
01:02:20,800 –> 01:02:24,100
verse 11, it says for the Lord
spake unto Moses face to face.

1032
01:02:25,400 –> 01:02:27,300
But Iran, spigot under his
friend.

1033
01:02:28,000 –> 01:02:31,400
That’s an astounding verse of
scripture, but Moses wanted more

1034
01:02:31,400 –> 01:02:34,500
than that.
He wanted, he wanted to enter

1035
01:02:34,500 –> 01:02:39,100
into that, which we’ve had for a
Psalm 73 and Psalm 77 show me

1036
01:02:39,100 –> 01:02:43,100
thy way.
Your decision, the song.

1037
01:02:44,300 –> 01:02:47,800
He showed his way unto Moses is
acts unto the children of

1038
01:02:47,800 –> 01:02:50,200
Israel.
That’s all they could understand

1039
01:02:50,200 –> 01:02:53,800
acts.
But Moses saw the way of God

1040
01:02:53,800 –> 01:02:56,600
runs right through from Genesis
straight through to the end.

1041
01:02:56,600 –> 01:03:00,400
The way that becomes the New and
Living Way in Christ Jesus, so I

1042
01:03:00,400 –> 01:03:04,200
asked for it there.
Now, in verse 13, if I have

1043
01:03:04,200 –> 01:03:08,300
found Grace in thy sight, show
me that way.

1044
01:03:10,200 –> 01:03:14,200
That I may Know Thee in this
isn’t this is language of the

1045
01:03:14,200 –> 01:03:16,300
highest time.
This is life.

1046
01:03:16,300 –> 01:03:19,900
Eternal to Know Thee, the only
true God and Jesus Christ whom

1047
01:03:19,900 –> 01:03:24,300
thou Hast sent.
Demos is asking the essential

1048
01:03:24,300 –> 01:03:26,500
question.
As the question we’ve got to ask

1049
01:03:26,500 –> 01:03:30,600
you in the end.
But the understand this and

1050
01:03:30,600 –> 01:03:33,100
knowest me, Jeremiah 9, that’s
the thing you got to know, he

1051
01:03:33,100 –> 01:03:36,500
said don’t worry your wisdom or
your might or your power that

1052
01:03:36,500 –> 01:03:41,900
you understand that know me.
So, the conversation continues.

1053
01:03:43,000 –> 01:03:47,300
And in verse 17, the Lord says I
will do this thing also, but

1054
01:03:47,300 –> 01:03:50,300
thou Hast spoken by the way, may
I just ask you.

1055
01:03:51,600 –> 01:03:55,500
To go through scripture with the
life of Moses and see how many

1056
01:03:55,500 –> 01:03:59,800
times God says, I will do what
you have said.

1057
01:04:01,300 –> 01:04:04,500
It’s amazing.
But God, the god of Heavens.

1058
01:04:04,500 –> 01:04:07,500
You’d ever say to a man, I’ll do
what you say because he says

1059
01:04:07,500 –> 01:04:10,100
they’re like I would do this
thing.

1060
01:04:10,100 –> 01:04:13,500
Also, that there are spoken,
marvelous, wonderful

1061
01:04:13,500 –> 01:04:17,200
condescension on the bottom God
for thou Hast found Grace in my

1062
01:04:17,200 –> 01:04:25,400
side, and I Know Thee by name,
He called him, Moses in heaven,

1063
01:04:25,400 –> 01:04:29,900
you know that now that’s not
happening in heaven about you,

1064
01:04:29,900 –> 01:04:33,000
and about me.
Then we are not in the purpose

1065
01:04:33,000 –> 01:04:37,900
of God.
Song song, Elijah Elijah.

1066
01:04:37,900 –> 01:04:40,700
What do we sell here?
You know, them, all by name,

1067
01:04:40,700 –> 01:04:44,700
Abraham Abraham here I am.
He knows them all by name.

1068
01:04:45,300 –> 01:04:48,100
Now, we got to learn businesses
that they have this acquaintance

1069
01:04:48,100 –> 01:04:51,500
with one another.
It’s It just an acquaintance.

1070
01:04:51,500 –> 01:04:54,400
It’s a theoretical one.
It’s a real living acquaintance

1071
01:04:54,400 –> 01:04:56,800
of you’ve got to have with one
another but follow it because

1072
01:04:56,800 –> 01:05:00,900
God goes a marvelous step
further verse 19.

1073
01:05:00,900 –> 01:05:04,200
He said I beseech the motors is
just like Abraham.

1074
01:05:04,600 –> 01:05:09,300
He always cakes that which God
offers and goes that step

1075
01:05:09,300 –> 01:05:13,900
further in his asking.
He says, I beseech thee, show

1076
01:05:13,900 –> 01:05:18,000
me, thy Glory.
He said I will make all my

1077
01:05:18,000 –> 01:05:23,700
goodness pass before they and I
will proclaim the name of the

1078
01:05:23,700 –> 01:05:26,900
Lord before thee and will be
gracious to whom I will be

1079
01:05:26,900 –> 01:05:29,500
gracious and will show Mercy on
whom.

1080
01:05:29,500 –> 01:05:31,600
I will show Mercy.
That was and I really just today

1081
01:05:31,600 –> 01:05:36,200
Romans night one, He said thou
canst not see my face.

1082
01:05:38,700 –> 01:05:43,800
For there shall no man.
See me and live. and the Lord

1083
01:05:43,800 –> 01:05:50,500
said, They hold.
There is a place by me.

1084
01:05:54,500 –> 01:05:56,000
Now you couldn’t have anything
more.

1085
01:05:56,000 –> 01:05:56,900
Beautiful.
Could you?

1086
01:05:58,600 –> 01:06:02,000
Just forgot to say there is a
place by me.

1087
01:06:02,700 –> 01:06:05,800
What over there.
Come sit down over there.

1088
01:06:06,400 –> 01:06:12,300
There is a place he said by me.
Now, brother, sister, that’s

1089
01:06:12,300 –> 01:06:14,400
what there is in the City of
Refuge is not the owners were

1090
01:06:14,400 –> 01:06:16,200
doing.
They were saying there is a

1091
01:06:16,200 –> 01:06:21,600
place by us and they should give
him a place, what wisdom?

1092
01:06:21,600 –> 01:06:26,300
But with us there’s a place by
me and you know that word then

1093
01:06:26,300 –> 01:06:28,400
it says I shall stand Upon A
Rocket Z Rock.

1094
01:06:30,300 –> 01:06:34,300
All right, for the place next to
God is on Jesus Christ, isn’t

1095
01:06:34,300 –> 01:06:36,500
it?
That rock is Christ.

1096
01:06:36,500 –> 01:06:41,300
And if there’s a place by God
That’s our Assurance.

1097
01:06:41,900 –> 01:06:45,800
Maybe don’t feel mightily, help,
by that Brothers, decide only

1098
01:06:45,800 –> 01:06:48,000
anything can help you, but I’m
sure you do.

1099
01:06:49,300 –> 01:06:51,100
God says that to us.
There’s a plates.

1100
01:06:52,400 –> 01:06:56,000
Find me.
All right, now come back to

1101
01:06:56,000 –> 01:06:58,700
Joshua times finishing the glass
finish, but just come back and

1102
01:06:58,700 –> 01:07:00,100
just you were 20.
Could you start?

1103
01:07:00,100 –> 01:07:04,400
We almost had it all.
You just got to loosen scripture

1104
01:07:04,400 –> 01:07:07,700
like this, but it talk to you.
Just let it breathe to you.

1105
01:07:09,500 –> 01:07:14,800
It says you give him a place.
That he may dwell on them you so

1106
01:07:14,800 –> 01:07:17,100
he’s actually going to feel that
he’s at home.

1107
01:07:18,500 –> 01:07:21,100
You know you have a guest into
your house can’t you say sit

1108
01:07:21,100 –> 01:07:24,400
down there to give him a place.
I hope you’re going soon.

1109
01:07:26,100 –> 01:07:31,100
All right but this is that he
made well it’s a permanent place

1110
01:07:31,200 –> 01:07:34,700
so long as he’s there that
places is now I’ve had that

1111
01:07:34,700 –> 01:07:38,800
experience.
You know, maybe it happens here

1112
01:07:38,800 –> 01:07:41,100
in Perth when people come to
this place.

1113
01:07:41,400 –> 01:07:45,100
I’ve spent a lot of time when I
was a young man away from home.

1114
01:07:46,400 –> 01:07:49,400
In fact, I left home when I was
19, so I never really went back

1115
01:07:49,400 –> 01:07:52,800
after that.
And but there were places to

1116
01:07:52,800 –> 01:07:57,700
which I went were a brother and
sister would say This home is

1117
01:07:57,700 –> 01:08:00,800
yours.
Whenever you want.

1118
01:08:01,800 –> 01:08:06,000
Just come in anytime just come
in and so they said there’s a

1119
01:08:06,008 –> 01:08:11,200
place with us anytime you want
it and they meant it and I did

1120
01:08:11,200 –> 01:08:13,600
that in certain places and there
were people whose homes were

1121
01:08:13,600 –> 01:08:17,899
just like that.
I remember arriving in another

1122
01:08:17,899 –> 01:08:21,500
city and the brother said well
he said they are.

1123
01:08:21,500 –> 01:08:24,100
I said that’s the key to the car
just outside.

1124
01:08:24,300 –> 01:08:26,800
You should actually laughs while
you’re here, just just use it.

1125
01:08:28,500 –> 01:08:31,399
And this part of the house is
yawn now.

1126
01:08:32,200 –> 01:08:35,399
This kind of kindness, I
shouldn’t lavishness, that’s not

1127
01:08:35,399 –> 01:08:37,600
it, brother and sisters not
being lavish.

1128
01:08:37,600 –> 01:08:39,399
That’s that’s a different
matter.

1129
01:08:39,800 –> 01:08:42,899
You see that the you can have a
place by somebody who is

1130
01:08:43,500 –> 01:08:47,500
terribly poor but if they are
sharing with you that which is

1131
01:08:47,500 –> 01:08:51,700
theirs That you Minds.
All right?

1132
01:08:51,700 –> 01:08:53,500
That’s it.
You have a place with them.

1133
01:08:53,500 –> 01:08:56,200
Let’s Fellowship.
So, are we making people at home

1134
01:08:56,200 –> 01:08:59,800
in our occasion?
Do they dwell Among Us now to

1135
01:08:59,800 –> 01:09:01,500
make people do?
Well, we got to make sure they

1136
01:09:01,500 –> 01:09:03,500
are there.
We’ve got to ASAP them, gather

1137
01:09:03,500 –> 01:09:06,899
them in from time to time.
You know, we’re not gathered in

1138
01:09:06,899 –> 01:09:08,899
once and for all.
Are we any of us?

1139
01:09:09,600 –> 01:09:12,100
None of us is just we didn’t
just come to the door and we’d

1140
01:09:12,100 –> 01:09:16,000
never even strayed near to the
boundary, everybody stays near

1141
01:09:16,000 –> 01:09:18,300
to the boundary sometime.
On.

1142
01:09:18,300 –> 01:09:20,500
There are some people who felt
like going out of the door.

1143
01:09:21,300 –> 01:09:24,500
I’ve had enough of this.
Want to go out of the door now,

1144
01:09:24,500 –> 01:09:27,500
we’ve got to make sure that in
our welcoming in an hour care,

1145
01:09:27,800 –> 01:09:31,000
we call them back who.
So, how can have under me

1146
01:09:32,000 –> 01:09:36,800
should, well, safely and should
acquire from fear of evil and

1147
01:09:36,800 –> 01:09:42,000
what David said to a biographer.
When he arrived with the evil,

1148
01:09:42,399 –> 01:09:48,899
he said abide thou with me.
And I’ll sure be in safety for

1149
01:09:48,899 –> 01:09:52,000
he that seeketh.
I life, secret my life.

1150
01:09:52,100 –> 01:09:55,700
This is just like the Avenger of
blood situation, but with me,

1151
01:09:55,700 –> 01:09:59,700
they should be in safety.
All right, he was an outlaw but

1152
01:09:59,700 –> 01:10:02,600
he shared what he had and there
was a place by David for a

1153
01:10:02,608 –> 01:10:04,900
viola.
All right?

1154
01:10:05,400 –> 01:10:07,900
And so a buyer, I want war that
what was more, that became a

1155
01:10:07,900 –> 01:10:11,600
blessing for David.
Then you see when we share, we

1156
01:10:11,600 –> 01:10:13,800
are blessed.
Are the people who think that by

1157
01:10:13,800 –> 01:10:16,900
sharing their losing, And some
people have that idea of

1158
01:10:16,900 –> 01:10:20,700
marriage you know dude our well.
Now want to share everything,

1159
01:10:21,700 –> 01:10:25,800
you know, in actual fact, of
course, what Mary is is total

1160
01:10:25,800 –> 01:10:31,900
giving and you receive a
thousandfold by total given.

1161
01:10:33,000 –> 01:10:35,500
That’s what we should learn
about marriage and young people,

1162
01:10:35,500 –> 01:10:40,800
I just commend it to you.
All right, just just a final

1163
01:10:40,800 –> 01:10:44,500
assault.
I’m gone you know the 11:00 on

1164
01:10:44,500 –> 01:10:47,100
to the Refuge because it’s that
kind of subject.

1165
01:10:49,100 –> 01:10:52,100
He Christ Is Our Redeemer, our
Avenger of blood than me.

1166
01:10:53,400 –> 01:10:57,500
But if you take those six cities
and you have a look at their

1167
01:10:57,500 –> 01:11:02,700
name, you discover that they’ve
talked to you about Fellowship,

1168
01:11:03,000 –> 01:11:06,300
here are their titles Chi dash
mean.

1169
01:11:07,200 –> 01:11:09,700
Holy, that’s what happened
worship.

1170
01:11:09,700 –> 01:11:14,100
Is these amine strong?
That’s what our Lord.

1171
01:11:14,100 –> 01:11:17,900
Jesus Christ.
Is Ramos means high and lifted

1172
01:11:17,900 –> 01:11:20,700
up the heights.
That’s what we are, where we are

1173
01:11:20,700 –> 01:11:23,200
in the truth, we are lifted up
in the Lord.

1174
01:11:23,200 –> 01:11:26,000
Jesus Christ.
Check him mean showed already.

1175
01:11:26,000 –> 01:11:30,300
There’s us and Carries us and he
brings us to go wrong, which is

1176
01:11:30,300 –> 01:11:33,100
the circle, the fellowship where
we all are.

1177
01:11:34,900 –> 01:11:38,000
I’m hedron means Fellowship, the
company.

1178
01:11:38,000 –> 01:11:41,600
It also means the bridge, by the
way, the fourth that carries you

1179
01:11:41,600 –> 01:11:44,000
over, so it’s going to have a
double meaning that were dead

1180
01:11:44,000 –> 01:11:45,900
wrong.
Well, there they are.

1181
01:11:46,200 –> 01:11:48,800
Have you ever thought why
Jerusalem wanting to be Refuge?

1182
01:11:50,800 –> 01:11:53,200
Quietly, I don’t tell me that it
wasn’t there.

1183
01:11:53,200 –> 01:11:57,300
The time I that’s true, but of
all the places to be a City of

1184
01:11:57,300 –> 01:11:59,300
Refuge, you two thought, in the
end, we’re going to be

1185
01:11:59,300 –> 01:12:02,400
Jerusalem, wouldn’t you wouldn’t
you wouldn’t you really have

1186
01:12:02,400 –> 01:12:05,500
thought that there couldn’t have
been a more a better choice for

1187
01:12:05,500 –> 01:12:07,200
a city of refugees and
Jerusalem.

1188
01:12:08,200 –> 01:12:13,200
Proving it is in actual fact, I
think the other six you see are

1189
01:12:13,200 –> 01:12:16,900
running down the two sides and
Jerusalem is in the middle.

1190
01:12:18,000 –> 01:12:19,100
There it is.
So nice.

1191
01:12:19,200 –> 01:12:22,800
It is the place.
If you’ll come with me to Isaiah

1192
01:12:22,800 –> 01:12:25,500
26, will just conclude on this.
We read this together, didn’t

1193
01:12:25,500 –> 01:12:28,300
lie.
And I do thank the young brother

1194
01:12:28,300 –> 01:12:38,600
who ready for us.
All writers are 26.

1195
01:12:38,900 –> 01:12:42,400
I’ve got one other verse after
this to look after this little

1196
01:12:42,400 –> 01:12:44,900
chap to hear.
You’ve got some interesting

1197
01:12:44,900 –> 01:12:48,300
things in it.
And that day she will.

1198
01:12:48,300 –> 01:12:55,100
This song, the song in the land
of Judah, we have a strong All

1199
01:12:55,100 –> 01:12:57,600
right, so there’s no use being
in the City of Refuge.

1200
01:12:57,600 –> 01:13:00,100
If it wasn’t properly
maintained, it was it is the

1201
01:13:00,100 –> 01:13:03,600
Avenger of blood could get in
and take you then it wasn’t

1202
01:13:03,600 –> 01:13:07,300
properly maintained.
It just wanted to comment by the

1203
01:13:07,300 –> 01:13:10,000
way, if you read the record,
very carefully in the

1204
01:13:10,000 –> 01:13:14,800
Deuteronomy and Joshua record,
it wasn’t that the Elders of the

1205
01:13:14,800 –> 01:13:21,200
City of Refuge decided the issue
themselves and Tyler anymore.

1206
01:13:21,200 –> 01:13:25,500
When there is a transfer between
one occasion and another, that

1207
01:13:25,700 –> 01:13:29,200
just the receivers determined,
it’s got to be determined by

1208
01:13:29,200 –> 01:13:31,400
both.
And if you read the record

1209
01:13:31,400 –> 01:13:35,700
carefully, I’m pretty sure that
the investigation of the man.

1210
01:13:35,900 –> 01:13:39,600
As to whether in fact he killed,
unwittingly was carried out in

1211
01:13:39,600 –> 01:13:42,400
the presence of the Elders of
that City and of this.

1212
01:13:42,400 –> 01:13:45,100
In other words, there is
concurrence between the two.

1213
01:13:46,200 –> 01:13:49,900
You know, sometimes the Keisha’s
arrive at different judgments

1214
01:13:49,900 –> 01:13:52,500
about certain matters that some
people believe we should always

1215
01:13:52,500 –> 01:13:56,200
arrive at the same judgments.
All right, I spoke to young,

1216
01:13:56,200 –> 01:13:58,600
man, the other day you came to
us from another fellowship all

1217
01:13:58,600 –> 01:13:59,800
together.
All right.

1218
01:14:00,800 –> 01:14:02,600
But if we’re having decide
matters, he said we already

1219
01:14:02,600 –> 01:14:04,400
decided that by a hundred
percent vote.

1220
01:14:06,200 –> 01:14:10,400
Unanimous.
I didn’t get you in any way.

1221
01:14:13,200 –> 01:14:17,400
He said well we voted first of
all and we got 70 and 30 percent

1222
01:14:18,100 –> 01:14:20,800
and if you re we’ve done that we
then go to the 30% and say that

1223
01:14:20,800 –> 01:14:22,700
you’re going to vote for the 70.
Are you going to leave us?

1224
01:14:28,100 –> 01:14:30,900
So they got a senate vote either
way.

1225
01:14:31,800 –> 01:14:34,400
He either way they had 100% vote
for what they done was to lose

1226
01:14:34,400 –> 01:14:38,000
30%.
You know, now that really there

1227
01:14:38,000 –> 01:14:42,300
isn’t such a thing as 100% vote.
Nobody’s 100% in the Ecclesia on

1228
01:14:42,300 –> 01:14:45,100
any issue.
What we have to learn is to

1229
01:14:45,100 –> 01:14:49,600
submit to the occasion, and
sometimes if he’ll make a

1230
01:14:49,608 –> 01:14:53,900
decision that we don’t like, but
we provided, it’s not a decision

1231
01:14:53,900 –> 01:14:58,000
about our Salvation, all right?
Then the creation of the making

1232
01:14:58,000 –> 01:15:01,700
that because it should be on the
same basis of Faith, or I put it

1233
01:15:01,700 –> 01:15:04,600
from Dinah time, you’ll have
things that we don’t like all

1234
01:15:04,600 –> 01:15:07,300
occasions.
We have to learn just as

1235
01:15:07,300 –> 01:15:10,600
suddenly, but this is a
different city in Isaiah 26.

1236
01:15:12,100 –> 01:15:15,200
Marvelous City.
And there are two little

1237
01:15:15,200 –> 01:15:16,800
Expressions that you may know
them.

1238
01:15:16,800 –> 01:15:20,600
They may be quite commonplace to
you, but I’ll just have a look

1239
01:15:20,600 –> 01:15:23,000
at them.
I shall have to mention two

1240
01:15:23,000 –> 01:15:25,600
Hebrew words, but just stop
because I can pronounce the look

1241
01:15:25,600 –> 01:15:29,000
that good.
Just so happens that if you just

1242
01:15:29,000 –> 01:15:38,000
read for example, lat In verse
4. you got a job in reading

1243
01:15:38,000 –> 01:15:44,300
that, you know, for example,
Brethren, who reads that, And

1244
01:15:44,500 –> 01:15:47,100
put the Hebrew words in which I
will somebody.

1245
01:15:47,100 –> 01:15:49,800
Tell me how do you read that in
there in central or Sterling?

1246
01:15:49,800 –> 01:15:52,000
What do you do?
When you read that aloud, you

1247
01:15:52,000 –> 01:15:53,900
probably read the our way, don’t
you?

1248
01:15:54,800 –> 01:15:57,300
It is tell me what you re done
catching anybody out.

1249
01:16:00,200 –> 01:16:01,800
Yeah, what’d you do with the
second one there?

1250
01:16:10,200 –> 01:16:18,700
No, no, no, I’m not catching
catching him out.

1251
01:16:19,000 –> 01:16:22,300
Because of, the matter of fact,
it is quite right, but it just

1252
01:16:22,300 –> 01:16:26,700
so happens that there are two
parallel expressions in this

1253
01:16:26,700 –> 01:16:31,100
little section.
And you know what do we read the

1254
01:16:31,100 –> 01:16:34,400
word or whether we think it as
long as we’re both doing the

1255
01:16:34,407 –> 01:16:38,600
same thing, it’s from we all
insist, everybody does the same

1256
01:16:38,600 –> 01:16:40,700
thing that, you know, we have
problems, but we’ve got to

1257
01:16:40,708 –> 01:16:44,000
understand what we’re reading in
any case all of us and not just

1258
01:16:44,000 –> 01:16:46,300
dismiss it.
So, he’s just saying, well, it

1259
01:16:46,300 –> 01:16:50,000
might as well have been gods.
Are that got, it could have been

1260
01:16:50,000 –> 01:16:53,100
God, God, put wrong there, but
he means what he says.

1261
01:16:53,100 –> 01:16:56,000
So we’ve got to think in those
terms, right?

1262
01:16:56,100 –> 01:16:59,900
In verse 3, it says I will keep
him in.

1263
01:17:00,300 –> 01:17:03,300
Perfect peace.
That’s the first double

1264
01:17:03,300 –> 01:17:05,200
expression.
You know, the expression there

1265
01:17:05,200 –> 01:17:08,000
is shalom.
Shalom.

1266
01:17:09,400 –> 01:17:12,800
It’s the same word repeated.
Right?

1267
01:17:13,300 –> 01:17:15,600
That’s perfect piece.
So the Hebrews did it by

1268
01:17:15,700 –> 01:17:18,400
repetition?
All right.

1269
01:17:18,400 –> 01:17:21,100
How do you ensure that?
Just follow it through.

1270
01:17:21,800 –> 01:17:24,100
Now, we’ll keep him in.
Shalom.

1271
01:17:24,100 –> 01:17:28,900
Shalom, whose mind is stayed on
thee because he trusted in thee,

1272
01:17:29,300 –> 01:17:37,500
trust G in and then it is Yahweh
forever for in yah, yah way.

1273
01:17:37,500 –> 01:17:40,700
So the name is repeated now that
it doesn’t Yahweh Yahweh, it is

1274
01:17:40,700 –> 01:17:42,900
Yahweh.
I think if you look in your

1275
01:17:43,300 –> 01:17:48,400
revised version margin you’ll
find that it just says It is.

1276
01:17:48,900 –> 01:17:50,900
All right, and it’s the same
word by the way.

1277
01:17:50,900 –> 01:17:57,800
And 12:2 if you like to have a
look at it, Which is connected

1278
01:17:57,800 –> 01:17:59,300
with salvation.
This is that that’s the point

1279
01:17:59,300 –> 01:18:01,600
about.
This is the double emphasis and

1280
01:18:01,600 –> 01:18:04,400
it’s important.
So, you know, those who read it

1281
01:18:04,400 –> 01:18:07,300
aloud and put the name in,
though, they may have a problem

1282
01:18:07,300 –> 01:18:09,600
with it.
They’ve got a point in pointing

1283
01:18:09,600 –> 01:18:13,800
over to us here away.
All right, now of us to behold,

1284
01:18:13,800 –> 01:18:17,300
God is my salvation.
I will trust and not be afraid

1285
01:18:17,400 –> 01:18:21,200
for yah.
Yahweh is my strength.

1286
01:18:21,400 –> 01:18:24,400
All right another discussion as
to whether it’s Yahweh or

1287
01:18:24,400 –> 01:18:26,700
Jehovah, not going to enter into
that argument.

1288
01:18:26,900 –> 01:18:31,200
Strangely enough John Thomas
used Jehovah in the very last

1289
01:18:31,200 –> 01:18:32,800
thing.
He wrote his before he died.

1290
01:18:33,400 –> 01:18:37,200
So he hadn’t settled it even.
Even by that time, I don’t think

1291
01:18:37,200 –> 01:18:40,400
that matters as to whether it’s
as to, which of the two we going

1292
01:18:40,400 –> 01:18:42,300
to pronounce, it’s what lies
behind it.

1293
01:18:42,300 –> 01:18:45,600
But, you know this for in Yahweh
is my strength, and he’s become

1294
01:18:45,600 –> 01:18:48,200
my salvation.
So it’s salvation as well.

1295
01:18:48,300 –> 01:18:51,300
Exactly what’s been talked about
him in Isaiah 22.

1296
01:18:51,500 –> 01:18:55,400
So God reinforces, it were by
doubling the name, but he does

1297
01:18:55,400 –> 01:18:56,700
it in the first one, I’ll bring
the shore.

1298
01:18:56,800 –> 01:18:59,100
Name before.
Come on, the short is there just

1299
01:18:59,100 –> 01:19:01,900
before the law.
All right, Johnny said, shalom.

1300
01:19:01,900 –> 01:19:04,200
Shalom.
So you repeat his name twice, as

1301
01:19:04,200 –> 01:19:07,500
though, God is giving us the,
the double emphasis is like

1302
01:19:07,500 –> 01:19:11,200
Jesus saying a new testament,
verily verily, which is our men

1303
01:19:11,200 –> 01:19:14,800
are men.
It’s the I-65 expression.

1304
01:19:15,400 –> 01:19:18,900
All right, so there’s this is
our City of Refuge, then do as I

1305
01:19:19,100 –> 01:19:22,900
chapter 26, It’s the final and
the perfect piece that we shall

1306
01:19:22,900 –> 01:19:26,700
receive in the day of Christ.
How is it assured?

1307
01:19:27,300 –> 01:19:32,100
The last reference just two
minutes Hebrews 6.

1308
01:19:33,900 –> 01:19:42,000
Hebrews 6.
Cities of Ray.

1309
01:19:45,200 –> 01:19:50,000
Is obviously a reference to it
without developing the matter.

1310
01:19:50,300 –> 01:19:53,100
And without telling us, although
he has been about the death of

1311
01:19:53,100 –> 01:19:56,500
the high priest because that
must have been a puzzle muscle

1312
01:19:56,500 –> 01:19:59,000
did.
Why can I stay under the death

1313
01:19:59,000 –> 01:20:03,500
of the high priest?
You know, then he was free from

1314
01:20:03,500 –> 01:20:07,100
the high priest had died for us
now, it’s so clear, isn’t it?

1315
01:20:07,300 –> 01:20:12,100
Thanks the high priest that the
one who’s prepared the way for

1316
01:20:12,100 –> 01:20:14,800
us.
So here is God repeating.

1317
01:20:15,000 –> 01:20:20,200
Get not this time.
Shalom shalom or Yahweh but

1318
01:20:20,200 –> 01:20:22,400
repeating by two immutable
things.

1319
01:20:22,600 –> 01:20:28,000
So they are in verse 18.
By two unchangeable things and

1320
01:20:28,000 –> 01:20:29,500
what are the unchangeable
things?

1321
01:20:29,500 –> 01:20:33,500
They are one, the promise that
he made and to the Oaths that he

1322
01:20:33,500 –> 01:20:37,300
gave to reinforce it, God
doesn’t need a given host as he

1323
01:20:37,800 –> 01:20:39,300
could in compromises.
It’s certain.

1324
01:20:39,300 –> 01:20:42,000
But for our sake, he said he
gave him by a nose.

1325
01:20:42,100 –> 01:20:46,500
Why myself a by swarms of the
Lord All right, so that’s how he

1326
01:20:46,500 –> 01:20:48,800
gave it.
And now what have we got?

1327
01:20:48,900 –> 01:20:53,300
We’ve got Isaiah 26. in which it
was impossible Verse 18 for God

1328
01:20:53,300 –> 01:20:58,300
to lie, we might have a strong
consolation who have fled for

1329
01:20:58,300 –> 01:21:04,600
Refuge To lay hold upon the hope
that is before said before,

1330
01:21:04,700 –> 01:21:07,800
which hope we have as an anchor
of the Soul, both sure.

1331
01:21:07,800 –> 01:21:13,100
And steadfast and which entered
into that within the veil with a

1332
01:21:13,108 –> 01:21:15,900
Christ.
The Forerunner is for us

1333
01:21:16,000 –> 01:21:20,000
entered, even Jesus made an high
priest Forever After the order

1334
01:21:20,000 –> 01:21:22,500
of Melchizedek.
So we’ve got the mighty

1335
01:21:22,500 –> 01:21:26,000
Lifeline, anchored in us and the
other end is in heaven.

1336
01:21:26,900 –> 01:21:30,100
Regina something in the wrong.
Kenny.

1337
01:21:32,600 –> 01:21:35,700
But the actual rubber end of
this line is, is that the

1338
01:21:35,700 –> 01:21:39,400
immortal and is the Jesus, and
if it doesn’t it, which is

1339
01:21:39,400 –> 01:21:41,800
entered into that, which they
within the veil has gone into

1340
01:21:41,800 –> 01:21:44,600
the holy of holies.
So the other end in the holy of

1341
01:21:44,600 –> 01:21:47,700
holies and that’s not heaven.
He’s not he’s not just using

1342
01:21:47,700 –> 01:21:50,800
Heaven as the holy of holies.
You see good he’s talking about

1343
01:21:50,800 –> 01:21:54,100
entering within the veil.
He’s actually telling us of that

1344
01:21:54,100 –> 01:21:56,800
state which is immortality and
Glory.

1345
01:21:58,100 –> 01:22:00,500
That’s what would be going on in
the holy of holies.

1346
01:22:00,700 –> 01:22:04,000
That was the price of gold and
of Glory, right.

1347
01:22:04,000 –> 01:22:06,100
That’s where Christ is on.
The other hand is with us.

1348
01:22:07,200 –> 01:22:09,800
And you say, well why then is
the other end in Heavenly and

1349
01:22:09,800 –> 01:22:12,300
then it says, we said in the
excitation yesterday, the other

1350
01:22:12,300 –> 01:22:16,100
engines in heaven for us, it
isn’t that the end for Jesus?

1351
01:22:16,100 –> 01:22:19,500
That’s the end for us as well.
We’re going to share what’s at

1352
01:22:19,500 –> 01:22:22,900
the other end of the line.
Provided we keep the anchor and

1353
01:22:22,900 –> 01:22:26,600
that’s all we got to do in.
Life is to keep the anchor, hold

1354
01:22:26,600 –> 01:22:30,200
fast to the anchor, and we’re in
the City of Refuge, and we

1355
01:22:30,200 –> 01:22:33,500
should be finally there in the
end and notice the word in verse

1356
01:22:33,500 –> 01:22:36,400
20.
He’s a forerunner, the others

1357
01:22:36,400 –> 01:22:37,500
are coming out.
Wood.

1358
01:22:38,700 –> 01:22:40,600
It’s like the first fruits,
right?

1359
01:22:40,700 –> 01:22:43,200
You said guarantee that one is
Immortal is the guarantee that

1360
01:22:43,200 –> 01:22:47,700
the rest will be So Jen, we just
hold on to what we’ve got are

1361
01:22:47,700 –> 01:22:51,000
going to marvelous hope, brother
and sisters, wonderful, hope.

1362
01:22:51,100 –> 01:22:53,000
And we don’t have you got it yet
or not bad, guys.

1363
01:22:53,000 –> 01:22:55,600
All I would say is, we’re
looking forward to the time when

1364
01:22:55,600 –> 01:22:58,000
you share it you have no other
place.

1365
01:22:58,000 –> 01:23:01,500
God is saying to you.
There’s a place by me at least

1366
01:23:01,500 –> 01:23:04,400
say and he’s in the same place
where the rest of us are it’s in

1367
01:23:04,400 –> 01:23:07,500
the Refuge of God which is in
Christ Jesus our lord.

1368
01:23:08,100 –> 01:23:11,700
That’s the truth that we share
and it’s that’s why I chose the

1369
01:23:11,700 –> 01:23:15,000
subject and I hope it was hope
helpful.
