We post at the start of each
week for you to listen.

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

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

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

9
00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:45,900
For this week.
We’re listening to an evening

10
00:00:45,900 –> 00:00:49,300
program talk that was given in
2012 by Brother Jason Hensley

11
00:00:49,800 –> 00:00:53,800
was given at the Norfolk
Ecclesia in Virginia, and it’s a

12
00:00:53,800 –> 00:00:58,100
evening program that he did just
as a kind of a side to a larger

13
00:00:58,100 –> 00:01:01,000
study that he was doing for that
weekend on the topic of his

14
00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:04,700
class is your word.
I have hidden in my heart and

15
00:01:04,700 –> 00:01:07,900
what the topic actually is.
He’s looking at the concept of

16
00:01:07,900 –> 00:01:12,000
Bible study taking some really
practical ways to get good Bible

17
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:14,000
study out of the time we spent
looking at the Bible.

18
00:01:14,700 –> 00:01:17,200
He talks about his four main
parts about the purpose of Bible

19
00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:21,500
study different types kind of
beat refining your study and

20
00:01:21,500 –> 00:01:24,400
then just general tips and
tricks that Jason has come up

21
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:27,100
with during his own study.
And if you’ve ever had an

22
00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:30,200
opportunity to meet and talk to
Jason, you know, he is someone

23
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:33,200
who takes his Bible study really
seriously and is a really good

24
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:36,900
person to learn from this class
is a really fun one to listen to

25
00:01:37,300 –> 00:01:39,300
would have been more fun to be
there in person just from

26
00:01:39,300 –> 00:01:42,100
listening to the audio.
But Jason is really good.

27
00:01:42,100 –> 00:01:47,000
He’s a teacher biker.
Here and you can also tell with

28
00:01:47,000 –> 00:01:49,400
some of the different tricks and
techniques that he uses to get

29
00:01:49,400 –> 00:01:53,600
the audience engaged and it
starts from the very beginning.

30
00:01:53,600 –> 00:01:56,200
He has the entire audience read
the exact same passage with him

31
00:01:56,200 –> 00:01:59,000
at the exact same time.
There’s also some group breakout

32
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:02,000
sessions that just for the sake
of the podcast.

33
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:06,600
I have edited out the five or so
minutes of just kind of dead air

34
00:02:06,600 –> 00:02:10,100
as he’s walking around and
everyone’s doing the activity

35
00:02:10,800 –> 00:02:13,700
just because it’s a group
discussion, but then also

36
00:02:13,700 –> 00:02:16,200
there’s a The audience’s miked
when they participate

37
00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:18,600
afterwards.
So I left all that in as he

38
00:02:18,700 –> 00:02:21,400
asked them to brainstorm versus
about why we do Bible study and

39
00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:25,100
then he’s getting the feedback
and in kind of typical Jason

40
00:02:25,100 –> 00:02:26,800
style.
He’s noting down everything.

41
00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:28,800
They say on a whiteboard.
You can kind of hear the tap

42
00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:31,800
tapping of him writing
vigorously as he tries to keep

43
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:34,500
up as you’re listening to the
class.

44
00:02:34,500 –> 00:02:39,700
So this was one that was just a
good reminder of kind of the

45
00:02:39,700 –> 00:02:42,100
habits that we need to form if
we want to be effective Bible

46
00:02:42,100 –> 00:02:46,000
students and making sure that
That you don’t try to bite off

47
00:02:46,000 –> 00:02:48,800
to too much that you can chew
and staying focused on little

48
00:02:48,800 –> 00:02:51,100
bite-size pieces of scriptures
that you can really grab your

49
00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:55,400
head around and understand and I
know something it was pointing

50
00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:58,100
for me as I’m getting ready to
teach an adult Sunday school and

51
00:02:58,100 –> 00:03:01,800
next coming month just to kind
of remember to take it in small

52
00:03:01,800 –> 00:03:03,500
pieces.
But also it’s just a good

53
00:03:03,800 –> 00:03:08,400
exciting way to kind of focus
ourselves as the year ends

54
00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:12,700
looking at the upcoming year and
hopefully being able to renew

55
00:03:12,700 –> 00:03:15,400
our studies.
Gain, a little bit more

56
00:03:15,700 –> 00:03:18,700
knowledge of the scriptures
through means like this podcast

57
00:03:18,700 –> 00:03:21,500
through doing the readings any
way that you’re able to just to

58
00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:24,300
get a little bit more of God’s
word into your heart.

59
00:03:24,700 –> 00:03:27,100
So I was really excited to share
this one.

60
00:03:28,100 –> 00:03:29,200
Jason’s really good friend of
mine.

61
00:03:29,200 –> 00:03:31,700
I was excited to be able to get
one of his classes up on the

62
00:03:31,700 –> 00:03:34,800
podcast.
So I hope you enjoy it.

63
00:03:34,900 –> 00:03:38,700
And with that I will turn it
over to brother Jason for his

64
00:03:38,700 –> 00:03:41,600
class your word.
I have hidden in my heart.

65
00:03:41,700 –> 00:03:44,100
Good evening everyone.
How are you?

66
00:03:44,300 –> 00:03:47,700
Doing good.
Okay tonight’s class.

67
00:03:47,700 –> 00:03:51,300
I’ve been asked to make it
lighter kind of class than the

68
00:03:51,300 –> 00:03:53,000
Jonathan ones.
So we’re not talking about

69
00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:55,500
Jonathan.
We are talking about your word.

70
00:03:55,500 –> 00:03:58,400
I have hidden in my heart.
It’s slightly different.

71
00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:01,400
So what we’re going to do just
to keep us all awake keep us all

72
00:04:01,400 –> 00:04:05,400
going is we’re actually going to
read our reading together.

73
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:13,500
Yeah, so, please turn to Second
Peter chapter 1 second Peter 1

74
00:04:13,700 –> 00:04:16,200
and we are going to read our
reading for this class is 2nd

75
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:22,500
Peter 1 verse 2.
A very long we’re reading.

76
00:04:22,500 –> 00:04:25,400
I hope that you can handle it as
a as we read this.

77
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:28,400
I want you to think about.
Why are we reading it?

78
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:30,500
Why did I choose this to have us
read your word.

79
00:04:30,500 –> 00:04:32,600
I have hidden in my heart.
We’re going to be talking about

80
00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:38,300
Bible study first second Peter
chapter 1 second Peter 1 and

81
00:04:38,300 –> 00:04:39,800
verse 2.
Okay.

82
00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:41,500
I know that there are different
translations.

83
00:04:42,300 –> 00:04:43,300
You’ll just have to deal with
it.

84
00:04:43,400 –> 00:04:47,300
Sorry.
Okay, so take a deep breath.

85
00:04:49,100 –> 00:04:50,700
All right on the count of three.
Are you ready?

86
00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:54,300
We’re going to we’re going to do
it remember read chapter 1 verse

87
00:04:54,300 –> 00:04:55,700
2.
Don’t read anything else.

88
00:04:56,100 –> 00:05:01,100
Okay, here we go.
One two, three grace and peace

89
00:05:01,100 –> 00:05:05,400
be multiplied unto you through
the knowledge of God and of

90
00:05:05,400 –> 00:05:08,100
Jesus our lord.
That was very good.

91
00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,100
I like that.
Okay now question for you.

92
00:05:11,100 –> 00:05:15,200
Why did we read that?
Yeah, good.

93
00:05:15,300 –> 00:05:19,000
Okay besides because I told you
to but it’s that is a very good

94
00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:22,500
reason and you should do
everything I tell you to do why

95
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:26,600
else did we read it?
Knowledge right now.

96
00:05:26,700 –> 00:05:29,700
So this I think this verse is
extremely helpful in just

97
00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:32,100
showing to us.
There is something very

98
00:05:32,100 –> 00:05:34,300
important about knowledge of
scripture.

99
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:38,600
In fact, you’ll notice that the
Apostle says Grace and peace be

100
00:05:38,600 –> 00:05:41,100
multiplied to you through the
knowledge of God.

101
00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:45,400
So knowledge of God brings both
Grace and peace.

102
00:05:45,500 –> 00:05:48,800
Okay, that’s just to get your
minds kind of activated get you

103
00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:50,800
start thinking about this what
you’re going to do.

104
00:05:50,800 –> 00:05:53,800
Look around you I want you to be
with three people.

105
00:05:54,600 –> 00:05:56,100
And I have five minutes to do
this.

106
00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:00,900
Okay, get a group of three.
If you if you can’t do three you

107
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:04,000
can do to if you can’t do that
you can do for you know, it’s

108
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:07,500
okay.
It just I don’t want to see like

109
00:06:07,500 –> 00:06:11,300
groups of like 25 or something.
All right, that’s not okay, but

110
00:06:12,400 –> 00:06:14,100
go ahead groups of like three or
four ish.

111
00:06:14,300 –> 00:06:18,100
And what you’re going to do is I
want you to come up with this

112
00:06:18,100 –> 00:06:21,500
first point up here.
What is the purpose or the

113
00:06:21,500 –> 00:06:24,000
importance of Bible study?
Why do you do it?

114
00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:27,700
So what’s the what’s the purpose
of Bible study?

115
00:06:28,100 –> 00:06:29,900
Right?
Like why are we why are we doing

116
00:06:29,900 –> 00:06:32,100
it?
So that’s what I want you to

117
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:33,800
talk about.
Why does it matter?

118
00:06:34,200 –> 00:06:38,000
You know, why do we care?
So do that?

119
00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:42,500
And here’s the other thing there
is no good at all and just being

120
00:06:42,500 –> 00:06:46,600
like Oh, well, I think it’s good
because of this know you got to

121
00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:49,200
have a verse.
Okay, that’s the catch.

122
00:06:49,400 –> 00:06:52,600
You got to have a verse to
support why it’s important

123
00:06:52,600 –> 00:06:54,200
right?
Otherwise, it’s just a while I

124
00:06:54,200 –> 00:06:55,700
think.
Important because I’m awesome,

125
00:06:55,800 –> 00:06:58,900
right and that’s not you can’t
say that because that’s not

126
00:06:58,900 –> 00:07:01,600
good.
Okay, so you got to have a verse

127
00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:03,700
to back it up.
Okay.

128
00:07:03,700 –> 00:07:06,700
Are you ready?
All right.

129
00:07:06,800 –> 00:07:09,400
Here we go.
Go ahead and stop.

130
00:07:09,800 –> 00:07:12,400
All right, by the way, this is
our outline for tonight.

131
00:07:12,400 –> 00:07:15,800
We have four things that I’m
going to try and cover we’re

132
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:17,900
going to look first at the
purpose of Bible study what

133
00:07:17,900 –> 00:07:20,800
you’re doing now different types
narrowing down your study and

134
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,600
then tips for it.
Our goal is to really try and

135
00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:26,800
take Bible study from being
something that can be kind of

136
00:07:26,800 –> 00:07:31,600
intense and scary to making it a
little bit more manageable a

137
00:07:31,608 –> 00:07:36,700
little more organized Okay, so
What did you guys come up with?

138
00:07:36,700 –> 00:07:38,200
What are some reasons for Bible
study?

139
00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:41,500
I’m supposed to hand this to you
when you when you say something.

140
00:07:41,500 –> 00:07:42,200
Yeah.
Are you ready?

141
00:07:42,800 –> 00:07:46,200
Okay, here you go increases our
knowledge.

142
00:07:46,500 –> 00:07:48,500
All right, very nice.
So it increases our knowledge

143
00:07:48,500 –> 00:07:51,600
and you got a verse for that.
Yes prophets 1014.

144
00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:54,800
Okay, why is people store up
knowledge but the mouth that the

145
00:07:54,800 –> 00:07:57,000
foolish is near destruction.
All right, very nice.

146
00:07:57,000 –> 00:07:58,800
So why is people store up
knowledge?

147
00:07:58,900 –> 00:08:00,200
Okay.
That’s a good one.

148
00:08:00,300 –> 00:08:03,600
I like that.
This is a little bit scary.

149
00:08:04,500 –> 00:08:10,800
Okay. so you got that was
Proverbs 10:14, right so

150
00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:18,900
increases knowledge Okay
Proverbs 1014.

151
00:08:18,900 –> 00:08:24,900
Alright, what else have we got?
Okay, yeah.

152
00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:34,299
Some 119 verses 105 and 107.
All right, and it says Thy word

153
00:08:34,299 –> 00:08:36,700
is a lamp unto my feet and a
light unto my path.

154
00:08:37,500 –> 00:08:40,500
I’m Afflicted very much quicker
Me O Lord according unto Thy

155
00:08:40,500 –> 00:08:44,500
word.
So we use it for a guide and a

156
00:08:44,500 –> 00:08:48,200
light nice as well as strengthen
time of trouble.

157
00:08:49,300 –> 00:08:54,600
So a guide and light also
strength great.

158
00:08:55,300 –> 00:08:57,400
That sounds like pretty
important things I’d say that

159
00:08:57,400 –> 00:08:59,700
sounds good.
Okay, and that was Psalm 119

160
00:09:01,700 –> 00:09:08,600
verses 107 105 105 107 107
hundred and five hundred and

161
00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:09,800
seven.
That’s a lot of verses.

162
00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:13,100
Okay any yet?
Yeah.

163
00:09:14,900 –> 00:09:17,900
Over here.
Sorry.

164
00:09:17,900 –> 00:09:25,800
I see our ways are not his ways
turn this up real quick. for We

165
00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:32,900
Are I’m a wicked and Mark 7 21
through 23.

166
00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:40,400
That’s a good one for from
within out of the heart of man.

167
00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:44,300
Come evil thoughts sexual
immorality theft murder adultery

168
00:09:44,400 –> 00:09:48,400
coveting wickedness deceit
sensuality Envy slander Pride

169
00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:50,800
foolishness.
All these evil things come from

170
00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:55,700
within and they defile a person.
I’m always sorry.

171
00:09:56,400 –> 00:10:01,000
It’s okay.
And therefore we need to search

172
00:10:01,000 –> 00:10:08,000
out what God says and for that
we have Isaiah 55 verses 6

173
00:10:08,000 –> 00:10:11,700
through 9.
Whoa to versus all right.

174
00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:18,500
Seek the Lord while he may be
found call upon him while he is

175
00:10:18,500 –> 00:10:22,600
near let the wicked forsake his
way and the unrighteous man his

176
00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:24,800
thoughts.
Let him return to the Lord and

177
00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:27,800
He will have mercy on him and
our God for he will abundantly

178
00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:31,800
pardon for my thoughts are not
your thoughts nor are your ways

179
00:10:31,800 –> 00:10:35,100
my ways says the Lord for as the
heavens are higher than the

180
00:10:35,100 –> 00:10:37,100
earth.
So are my ways higher than your

181
00:10:37,100 –> 00:10:39,300
ways and my thoughts than your
thoughts.

182
00:10:39,700 –> 00:10:43,500
That’s right.
Okay, so basically because God’s

183
00:10:43,500 –> 00:10:44,700
thoughts are so much greater
than ours.

184
00:10:44,700 –> 00:10:46,900
We got to fill our mind with his
very nice.

185
00:10:47,300 –> 00:10:49,500
Okay.
Alright had a say told you I’d

186
00:10:49,500 –> 00:10:55,200
give it to you.
Mine is also from Psalm 119 and

187
00:10:55,900 –> 00:11:01,200
through the word were able to be
cleansed verse 9 of Psalm 119

188
00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:05,600
says wherewithal shall a young
man cleanse his way by taking

189
00:11:05,600 –> 00:11:08,700
heed unto their unto according
to Thy Word.

190
00:11:11,200 –> 00:11:13,600
Okay, that was Psalm 119.
What was the verse again?

191
00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:20,000
Thank you.
Okay, great.

192
00:11:20,000 –> 00:11:24,200
And let’s just do two more.
Okay, we’re here.

193
00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:31,000
To teach second Timothy 3:16.
All scripture is given by

194
00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:36,400
inspiration of God and is
profitable 15 to and that from

195
00:11:36,600 –> 00:11:38,200
childhood.
You have known the holy

196
00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:40,900
scriptures which are able to
make you wise for salvation

197
00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:44,300
through faith, which is in
Christ Jesus and 16.

198
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,200
All scripture is given by
inspiration of God and is

199
00:11:47,200 –> 00:11:50,500
profitable for Doctrine for
reproof for correction for

200
00:11:50,500 –> 00:11:55,400
instruction in righteousness.
Okay, very nice.

201
00:11:56,800 –> 00:12:00,800
Thank you.
Alright, so we got to teach okay

202
00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:02,300
here.
I’ll give it to you guys ever

203
00:12:02,300 –> 00:12:04,900
hear.
All right, this is our last one.

204
00:12:05,600 –> 00:12:11,900
Sorry guys up there.
We felt we chose Hosea 6 and 6

205
00:12:12,900 –> 00:12:15,500
for I desire mercy and not
sacrifice and the knowledge of

206
00:12:15,500 –> 00:12:19,800
God more than burnt offerings.
All right, so are our theme

207
00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:24,300
there is God wants us to know
more than to sacrifice and

208
00:12:24,300 –> 00:12:27,700
covering up what we’ve done
awesome.

209
00:12:28,900 –> 00:12:32,900
God wants us to know right so
know him.

210
00:12:39,400 –> 00:12:41,100
I see a six six.
Okay.

211
00:12:41,400 –> 00:12:44,100
Awesome.
Now I think as you can see and

212
00:12:44,200 –> 00:12:47,500
what what you can kind of take
out of this is Bible studies

213
00:12:47,500 –> 00:12:50,900
important.
I can turn this off by pushing

214
00:12:50,900 –> 00:12:55,300
the bottom, right?
Look at that.

215
00:12:56,000 –> 00:12:58,600
All right.
That was cool.

216
00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:02,700
Okay, so we can see the Bible
study is pretty important.

217
00:13:02,800 –> 00:13:06,100
It’s something that we want to
do and that’s what I really want

218
00:13:06,100 –> 00:13:10,200
us to start this on just to get
into our minds Bible study is

219
00:13:10,200 –> 00:13:11,800
its well not even just
important.

220
00:13:11,800 –> 00:13:15,700
It’s essential right?
God says that the why is will

221
00:13:15,700 –> 00:13:18,400
increase their knowledge and
that we have to know him.

222
00:13:18,800 –> 00:13:21,600
All right, he wants us to know.
So in order to know we have to

223
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:23,900
study it’s a guide for us it
brings.

224
00:13:24,100 –> 00:13:28,500
A strength our ways and
themselves aren’t even right

225
00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:29,500
right.
We’re going to go off and do

226
00:13:29,500 –> 00:13:32,500
things that are wrong.
The word will cleanse us and we

227
00:13:32,500 –> 00:13:35,700
also can be taught by it.
We can be corrected.

228
00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:38,900
So Bible studies huge.
It’s essential in the life of a

229
00:13:38,900 –> 00:13:42,400
Believer.
The next question is how do you

230
00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:45,800
do it?
I think a number of us at least

231
00:13:45,800 –> 00:13:47,500
for me.
One of the big things was well.

232
00:13:47,500 –> 00:13:50,100
I really want to do Bible study
and I really think it’s good.

233
00:13:51,300 –> 00:13:53,400
But then you sit down and you
start to say, okay.

234
00:13:53,400 –> 00:13:56,400
Well, I’m going to study and you
say I’m going to study Psalms

235
00:13:57,400 –> 00:13:59,600
and you sit down and you start
reading and you read to like

236
00:13:59,600 –> 00:14:02,200
Psalm 50 and you’re like I’m
tired.

237
00:14:02,600 –> 00:14:06,000
I thought that was too much
Bible studies hard.

238
00:14:06,900 –> 00:14:10,700
I’m gonna go play football or
something and like yeah, and

239
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:14,400
that’s that’s kind of how it
ends up and then you get hurt

240
00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:16,800
when you play football and then
your said, okay.

241
00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:21,800
So what I want to talk about is
I I want to break it down a

242
00:14:21,808 –> 00:14:23,300
little bit.
So it’s easier.

243
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:29,100
So what we’re going to look at
is the different kinds of study

244
00:14:29,100 –> 00:14:30,900
that you can do.
Now.

245
00:14:31,000 –> 00:14:34,100
I like to say that there’s six
six different types of study.

246
00:14:34,200 –> 00:14:38,300
There’s more than that, but
there’s generally six that I

247
00:14:38,300 –> 00:14:40,300
tend to think about now, I’ll
write them down.

248
00:14:40,400 –> 00:14:44,600
Well, actually, let me ask you
what are some of the different

249
00:14:44,600 –> 00:14:48,000
types of study we can do and
I’ll write those down now if

250
00:14:48,008 –> 00:14:50,000
it’s not one of mine, I might
not write it down.

251
00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:53,100
It’s not because I don’t like
you but it’s because you found

252
00:14:53,100 –> 00:14:55,000
some cooler stuff than me.
Okay.

253
00:14:55,600 –> 00:14:58,800
Yes the character study.
Hey, good job.

254
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:08,000
Okay character study.
Okay, and rather than just tell

255
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:10,100
you what these are I’m going to
try and give you examples of

256
00:15:10,100 –> 00:15:13,900
them.
Yeah Ty repetition study.

257
00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:22,100
What is that?
Very nice.

258
00:15:22,100 –> 00:15:23,200
Okay.
Yeah, we’re going to talk about

259
00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:25,400
that.
I call it something else.

260
00:15:25,400 –> 00:15:29,900
But yes.
Yeah Matthew Bible Echoes, very

261
00:15:29,900 –> 00:15:33,100
nice.
Yeah, so I would put that into

262
00:15:33,400 –> 00:15:35,900
one of these one major ones that
we’re going to look at.

263
00:15:36,000 –> 00:15:38,500
Yeah, that’s definitely
something to follow for.

264
00:15:38,500 –> 00:15:39,900
Sure.
Yeah, Rebecca.

265
00:15:41,300 –> 00:15:42,600
Somatic study.
Okay.

266
00:15:43,800 –> 00:15:54,900
Oh, well look at it.
Yeah, Matt a word study.

267
00:15:54,900 –> 00:16:03,600
Okay, very nice.
Now I’m going to be honest with

268
00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:05,500
you.
I’m sorry for those of you guys

269
00:16:05,500 –> 00:16:07,200
who like word studies.
I really don’t.

270
00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:08,700
Okay.
Yes, Jason.

271
00:16:10,100 –> 00:16:15,200
A book study very nice.
Okay, so we got four.

272
00:16:16,300 –> 00:16:20,500
We only need two more.
These ones are a little harder

273
00:16:20,500 –> 00:16:22,400
the other two.
Maybe I’ll just tell them to

274
00:16:22,400 –> 00:16:23,100
you.
Yeah.

275
00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:27,700
Whoa, you got it.
Check that out.

276
00:16:27,900 –> 00:16:35,500
Okay prophetic study.
He did get it.

277
00:16:35,500 –> 00:16:36,800
You know what though?
I’m sorry.

278
00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:38,800
I actually call it a prophecy
study.

279
00:16:39,000 –> 00:16:43,800
So you kind of got like half.
Okay.

280
00:16:44,100 –> 00:16:47,700
Alright now we know there’s one
more.

281
00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:52,000
Yeah.
That’s a good one.

282
00:16:52,000 –> 00:16:52,900
I didn’t think about that
either.

283
00:16:52,900 –> 00:16:55,500
Sorry, but that is good
historical study.

284
00:16:56,200 –> 00:16:59,700
I’ll just tell it to you guys.
I I normally say first principle

285
00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:03,700
study because though it could
fit into under like a thematic

286
00:17:03,700 –> 00:17:07,400
one or a word study its kind of
in its own category.

287
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:09,200
I feel like my first principal
study.

288
00:17:09,400 –> 00:17:11,300
So this is how I like to break
it down.

289
00:17:17,500 –> 00:17:21,099
Yes, I am a teacher.
It’s true and I spelled first

290
00:17:21,099 –> 00:17:26,900
wrong.
Okay.

291
00:17:29,100 –> 00:17:30,000
All right.
There we go.

292
00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:32,700
So I like to break it down into
six clearly.

293
00:17:32,700 –> 00:17:34,800
Like there are other ways of
breaking it down and there’s

294
00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:36,200
more kinds of ways that you
could look at it.

295
00:17:36,200 –> 00:17:38,700
But I find this to be helpful
when you’re going to sit down

296
00:17:38,800 –> 00:17:40,800
and do a study.
I think it’s important and

297
00:17:40,800 –> 00:17:44,400
helpful to say which one of
these six do I want to do right?

298
00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:48,000
That’s kind of your first step.
So what I want to do now is I’m

299
00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:50,700
going to give you an example of
a few of them and I want you to

300
00:17:50,700 –> 00:17:53,500
try and guess what it is.
What kind of study it is.

301
00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:56,900
All right.
All right are your Bibles

302
00:17:56,900 –> 00:18:00,100
closed?
Well, they should be muslim.

303
00:18:00,900 –> 00:18:03,600
Okay, here is here’s what we’re
going to do.

304
00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:09,400
Have your Bibles closed?
Bible is closed.

305
00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:14,500
And now please tell me what is
the first word in the book of

306
00:18:14,500 –> 00:18:19,100
James?
Very good.

307
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,000
All right.
Good job, James.

308
00:18:22,200 –> 00:18:25,800
Okay.
All right, please tell me what

309
00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:28,200
is the first word in the book of
Galatians?

310
00:18:29,600 –> 00:18:31,400
Call home Paul.
Very good.

311
00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:33,100
Good job, James.
Okay.

312
00:18:33,800 –> 00:18:35,100
All right.
What’s the first word in the

313
00:18:35,100 –> 00:18:38,600
book of Ephesians?
Paul very good.

314
00:18:38,900 –> 00:18:40,300
Okay.
What’s the first word in the

315
00:18:40,300 –> 00:18:46,600
book of let’s mix it up Jude
Jude very good.

316
00:18:46,900 –> 00:18:48,800
Okay.
What about the first word in the

317
00:18:48,808 –> 00:18:53,300
book of First Peter?
Peter hey, do you guys see a

318
00:18:53,300 –> 00:18:54,700
theme?
Perhaps?

319
00:18:54,900 –> 00:18:57,800
Okay.
Now this is a hard question.

320
00:18:58,500 –> 00:19:00,400
What’s the first word in the
book of Hebrews?

321
00:19:01,600 –> 00:19:03,300
Hey that was supposed to be
hard.

322
00:19:04,500 –> 00:19:05,800
Good job.
You got it.

323
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:09,400
Okay, so I think that’s really
interesting.

324
00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:11,700
One of the things that you’ll
notice when you start to go

325
00:19:11,700 –> 00:19:15,800
through almost all of the New
Testament Epistles, they all

326
00:19:15,800 –> 00:19:21,700
begin with their author.
Yeah, Peter James Jude all of

327
00:19:21,700 –> 00:19:26,600
Paul’s Epistles.
And Hebrew starts with God and I

328
00:19:26,600 –> 00:19:28,900
think the point of it what the
writer to the Hebrews is trying

329
00:19:28,900 –> 00:19:30,700
to do if you look at it.
Let’s just go there Hebrews

330
00:19:30,700 –> 00:19:33,900
chapter 1 if you look at it,
what you will see is that

331
00:19:33,900 –> 00:19:42,700
there’s no introduction at all.
Hebrews 1 verse 1 it immediately

332
00:19:42,700 –> 00:19:46,100
jumps straight into what the
writer wants to say.

333
00:19:47,400 –> 00:19:51,100
Hebrews 1 verse 1 starts by
saying God who at sundry times

334
00:19:51,100 –> 00:19:54,000
and in divers manners and I
think the point that is being

335
00:19:54,400 –> 00:19:58,300
that the author is trying to
convey to us is the author of

336
00:19:58,300 –> 00:20:04,000
this book is God.
He doesn’t say I pondered his

337
00:20:04,700 –> 00:20:07,800
but he starts by saying God
because what you’re going to see

338
00:20:07,800 –> 00:20:10,600
in this book written to the
Hebrews is this is a message

339
00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:14,300
which is extremely important to
their salvation and and they’re

340
00:20:14,300 –> 00:20:18,200
in dire need of hearing it.
And so this man has come and he

341
00:20:18,200 –> 00:20:21,400
says it’s not about who I am.
It’s not about my reputation or

342
00:20:21,400 –> 00:20:23,600
anything like that.
It is about what God has said

343
00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:26,100
and so if you just skim through
the beginning of the book of

344
00:20:26,100 –> 00:20:30,700
Hebrews what you’ll find is
chapter one has like seven or

345
00:20:30,700 –> 00:20:35,500
eight quotes in it.
And it’s almost all scripture.

346
00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:39,100
And that’s what this book does.
It’s very interesting.

347
00:20:39,200 –> 00:20:42,200
It’s just one chunk of scripture
after another after another

348
00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:46,000
after another because God is the
author now, we’re gonna spend a

349
00:20:46,008 –> 00:20:49,900
little more time on this because
I’d like to say I’d like to try

350
00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:53,700
and explain to you who I think
the author is because clearly

351
00:20:54,200 –> 00:20:58,200
God is the author but somebody
physically wrote it now, huh

352
00:20:58,300 –> 00:21:02,200
come back to Hebrews chapter 13.
And just take a look at this

353
00:21:03,000 –> 00:21:06,200
Hebrews 13.
One of the things that I find

354
00:21:06,200 –> 00:21:09,200
very intriguing about this book,
so we’re not told who the author

355
00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:13,200
is, but the author actually
expected his readers to know who

356
00:21:13,200 –> 00:21:16,100
he was.
So it’s not like it’s some

357
00:21:16,100 –> 00:21:18,200
hidden thing that we’re never
supposed to be able to figure

358
00:21:18,200 –> 00:21:21,000
out but the author writes as
though they knew him.

359
00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:27,400
So you’ll see here Hebrews
chapter 13 verse 19 says but I

360
00:21:27,400 –> 00:21:30,800
beseech you the rather to do
this and the context there’s

361
00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:32,500
Verse 18 where he says to pray
for us.

362
00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:35,200
So he says I’m beseeching you to
pray for us that I may be

363
00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:40,000
restored to you the sooner now,
can you imagine how remarkably

364
00:21:40,000 –> 00:21:43,600
weird that would be if you got a
letter in the mail that wasn’t

365
00:21:43,600 –> 00:21:47,500
signed by anybody?
And they said please pray for me

366
00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:49,300
so that I can come and visit you
soon.

367
00:21:50,300 –> 00:21:56,000
You’d be like whoa, who is this?
You know, that would not be a

368
00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:59,100
very good thing.
So I put to you this author

369
00:21:59,100 –> 00:22:02,100
expected them to know.
Oh, you know who I am.

370
00:22:02,200 –> 00:22:04,800
I want you to pray for me so
that I can be released from

371
00:22:04,800 –> 00:22:06,400
prison soon and come and see
you.

372
00:22:07,900 –> 00:22:13,300
Okay now because we can tell
then that the people that it was

373
00:22:13,300 –> 00:22:15,500
written to we’re supposed to
know who he was.

374
00:22:15,700 –> 00:22:17,900
I think we can actually figure
out who the author was based off

375
00:22:17,900 –> 00:22:20,100
the letter right?
I mean they had to be able to do

376
00:22:20,100 –> 00:22:24,400
it somehow and here’s what you
can figure out if you start to

377
00:22:24,400 –> 00:22:27,300
go through if you look at
Hebrews chapter 2 the Apostle

378
00:22:27,300 –> 00:22:29,700
writes.
It’s a verses 3 and 4 I believe.

379
00:22:30,700 –> 00:22:31,700
All right, you guys are turning
there.

380
00:22:31,700 –> 00:22:34,400
I’ll go there to you’ve forced
me.

381
00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:42,500
Okay Hebrews 2 Hebrews 2 and
verse 3 this the Apostle who’s

382
00:22:42,500 –> 00:22:45,500
writing here rights as though
he’s not one of the 12.

383
00:22:46,700 –> 00:22:50,900
Hebrews 2 and verse 3 says how
shall we escape if we neglect so

384
00:22:50,900 –> 00:22:55,100
great salvation, which at first
began to be spoken by the Lord?

385
00:22:56,300 –> 00:23:00,100
And was confirmed unto us by
them that heard him.

386
00:23:00,900 –> 00:23:02,500
So he’s talking about the
gospel.

387
00:23:02,700 –> 00:23:05,700
He says the gospel was at first
preached by the Lord and then

388
00:23:05,900 –> 00:23:08,200
preach To Us by those who heard
him.

389
00:23:09,100 –> 00:23:12,200
So he puts himself in the
category of those who were

390
00:23:12,200 –> 00:23:16,600
preached to by the apostles.
So this is somebody who wasn’t

391
00:23:16,600 –> 00:23:19,900
one of the 12 and I think you
can in fact validity date that

392
00:23:21,100 –> 00:23:23,500
if you go back to Hebrews 13
now, you don’t have to go there

393
00:23:23,500 –> 00:23:27,200
for this one Hebrews 13.
It’s a verse 17 and also for

394
00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:31,900
seven Hebrews 13 verse 7 and
verse 17 the Apostle says obey

395
00:23:31,900 –> 00:23:35,400
them that have the rule over you
and he says this twice as the

396
00:23:35,400 –> 00:23:36,600
like the people weren’t doing
it.

397
00:23:37,100 –> 00:23:39,000
So he says obey them that have
the rule over you and if you

398
00:23:39,000 –> 00:23:41,100
search through the letter you
can figure out this was probably

399
00:23:41,100 –> 00:23:42,600
written to the Jerusalem
Ecclesia.

400
00:23:43,700 –> 00:23:45,800
Any ideas who were the rulers of
the Jerusalem Ecclesia?

401
00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:52,800
Yeah, the apostles most of them.
So again, that would be a little

402
00:23:52,800 –> 00:23:54,800
bit strange.
If one of the Apostles wrote a

403
00:23:54,800 –> 00:23:58,200
letter to his own congregation
and said obey them who have the

404
00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:00,600
rule over you listen to me right
now.

405
00:24:00,608 –> 00:24:03,900
Yeah, but I don’t think would
work very well so we know that

406
00:24:03,900 –> 00:24:08,000
this probably isn’t one of the
12 apostles in addition to that.

407
00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:10,700
We know later on from what he
says in Chapter 13 that this

408
00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:13,800
person’s probably in Italy he
ends the letter by saying they

409
00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:16,800
have Italy salute you we know
that he’s in prison and he also

410
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:21,200
speaks about Timothy our brother
who he’s with So we know a few

411
00:24:21,200 –> 00:24:24,300
things we know he’s not one of
the 12 we know that he’s a good

412
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:27,600
friend of Timothy.
We know he’s in prison and that

413
00:24:27,600 –> 00:24:32,300
he also is probably in Italy
now.

414
00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:37,800
I think those all Point fairly
strongly to the Apostle Paul but

415
00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:40,100
far and above what I actually
what I would advise you to do,

416
00:24:40,100 –> 00:24:41,700
we’re not going to do this
tonight because we don’t have

417
00:24:41,700 –> 00:24:45,900
time what I would advise you to
do though is to Read through

418
00:24:45,900 –> 00:24:49,600
Galatians 4 in Romans 9 and see
the way that the Apostle Paul

419
00:24:49,600 –> 00:24:54,000
reasons there and read through
Hebrews 7 and see how the writer

420
00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:56,900
of the Hebrews reasons and
you’ll see that the logic that

421
00:24:56,900 –> 00:25:02,100
they use and just almost the
obscurity of their points just

422
00:25:02,100 –> 00:25:05,100
corresponds beautifully
Galatians chapter 4 of the

423
00:25:05,100 –> 00:25:07,200
Apostles talking to those who
want to follow the law.

424
00:25:07,400 –> 00:25:10,300
He says if you really want to
follow the law, let me tell you

425
00:25:10,308 –> 00:25:13,800
a story and he starts talking
about Hagar and Sarah, right?

426
00:25:13,800 –> 00:25:16,200
Okay, if I was going to try and
Two people that you don’t follow

427
00:25:16,200 –> 00:25:18,300
the law anymore.
I would not be like, okay.

428
00:25:18,300 –> 00:25:21,600
I’m going to tell you a story.
So let’s talk about the story.

429
00:25:21,700 –> 00:25:24,300
I would say look, here’s a verse
and another verse another verse

430
00:25:24,500 –> 00:25:27,500
and Paul doesn’t do that.
He says let’s look at the story

431
00:25:27,500 –> 00:25:30,000
look at it a little further and
he goes deeper in it.

432
00:25:30,100 –> 00:25:32,400
Same thing happens in Romans 9.
He says, let me tell you a story

433
00:25:33,400 –> 00:25:37,600
same thing happens in Hebrews 7
So I would put to you.

434
00:25:37,600 –> 00:25:40,500
It’s the Apostle Paul.
Okay, and of that now what kind

435
00:25:40,500 –> 00:25:47,100
of study was there?
mmm Whoa, look at this.

436
00:25:47,900 –> 00:25:50,700
Yeah.
I think it’s a book study.

437
00:25:50,700 –> 00:25:54,100
That’s that was a book a study
of the book of Hebrews kind of

438
00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:56,400
who wrote Hebrews.
I can see how that would sound

439
00:25:56,400 –> 00:25:58,600
like a character study.
But yeah, the idea was that was

440
00:25:58,600 –> 00:26:00,800
a book study.
So a book study is where you

441
00:26:00,800 –> 00:26:03,000
take a book of the Bible and you
say all right.

442
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:07,000
I want to learn about this book.
So that was the beginning of a

443
00:26:07,008 –> 00:26:09,300
book study of Hebrews.
Okay.

444
00:26:10,000 –> 00:26:13,400
Are you ready for another?
All right, try and guess what?

445
00:26:13,400 –> 00:26:14,600
This one is.
Are you ready?

446
00:26:14,900 –> 00:26:20,100
Come with me to second Samuel
chapter 1 and no, this is not a

447
00:26:20,108 –> 00:26:26,200
study of Jonathan.
Hahaha, sorry, okay second

448
00:26:26,200 –> 00:26:30,300
Samuel chapter one now.
You’ll notice something

449
00:26:30,300 –> 00:26:36,100
extremely interesting about
David when he became king when

450
00:26:36,100 –> 00:26:38,500
David starts to become king.
He does things.

451
00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:46,300
That we wouldn’t really expect.
And actually I changed my mind

452
00:26:46,400 –> 00:26:48,900
don’t go to 2nd Samuel 1 come
over to second Samuel 5.

453
00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:51,900
That’s better.
Okay, when David becomes king,

454
00:26:52,000 –> 00:26:54,500
he does things that we wouldn’t
initially expect.

455
00:26:54,600 –> 00:26:57,800
What is According to second
Samuel chapter 5 David’s made

456
00:26:57,800 –> 00:26:59,500
King.
What’s the first thing he does?

457
00:27:06,700 –> 00:27:12,200
It would be in for six.
He goes to battle where he takes

458
00:27:12,200 –> 00:27:18,400
Jerusalem now isn’t that
intriguing if you were made a

459
00:27:18,408 –> 00:27:23,400
king or a queen your made a king
or queen over Israel?

460
00:27:23,900 –> 00:27:25,300
What would be the first thing
you do?

461
00:27:25,300 –> 00:27:28,000
Right.
I mean I would think you know,

462
00:27:28,200 –> 00:27:31,700
you kind of build your Palace or
like you make your throne nice

463
00:27:31,700 –> 00:27:34,300
or you make sure that you have a
good hold over the land or

464
00:27:34,300 –> 00:27:37,800
something David like the dust
hasn’t even settled from him

465
00:27:37,800 –> 00:27:40,800
being crowned you gets the On
his head and he’s like, thanks

466
00:27:40,900 –> 00:27:44,500
now go to Jerusalem.
It’s it’s like an immediate

467
00:27:44,500 –> 00:27:47,000
thing.
We’re told he’s crowned and

468
00:27:47,000 –> 00:27:49,100
verse 6 the king and his men
went to Jerusalem.

469
00:27:50,300 –> 00:27:52,500
There’s like no.
No pause.

470
00:27:52,500 –> 00:27:55,400
No break.
There’s something intent about

471
00:27:55,400 –> 00:27:57,500
David.
I’m going to Jerusalem and what

472
00:27:57,500 –> 00:27:59,800
we’re going to see that kind of
characterizes David in the

473
00:27:59,800 –> 00:28:02,500
beginning of his Reign.
Is this desire to fulfill the

474
00:28:02,500 –> 00:28:05,000
promises of God.
It’s really cool.

475
00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:08,800
So David has this fervent desire
to fulfill God’s promises.

476
00:28:08,900 –> 00:28:12,500
So he says we’re going to
Jerusalem now, how long have you

477
00:28:12,508 –> 00:28:16,900
been thinking about that?
question for you Yeah.

478
00:28:18,600 –> 00:28:20,600
Seven and a half years, very
good.

479
00:28:20,600 –> 00:28:23,700
I think he definitely had I
agree with that, but I think

480
00:28:23,700 –> 00:28:28,800
even even longer.
Yeah, since he killed Goliath.

481
00:28:29,300 –> 00:28:33,200
Yeah, so check this out second
Samuel or sorry first Samuel 17.

482
00:28:33,700 –> 00:28:37,400
This this is probably this would
have been another Star Story

483
00:28:38,600 –> 00:28:41,500
second Samuel 17.
So you recall from what we

484
00:28:41,500 –> 00:28:44,100
talked about in class number
three David went up to Goliath.

485
00:28:44,100 –> 00:28:48,400
And what did he say to him?
I’m going to cut off your head

486
00:28:48,700 –> 00:28:51,600
right says I’m going to cut off
your head doesn’t have a sword

487
00:28:51,600 –> 00:28:54,800
but that’s what he’s gonna do.
So he does kills Goliath takes

488
00:28:54,800 –> 00:28:57,200
his sword cuts off his What’s he
do with the head?

489
00:28:59,200 –> 00:29:01,100
Yeah, he likes sticks it on a
pole.

490
00:29:01,100 –> 00:29:05,200
Right and we read in 1st Samuel
17 verse 54 David took the head

491
00:29:05,200 –> 00:29:07,500
of the Philistine and brought it
to Jerusalem.

492
00:29:09,100 –> 00:29:12,000
Now just think about that right
make this story a little bit

493
00:29:12,000 –> 00:29:16,200
real here David cuts off this
massive head and he like sticks

494
00:29:16,200 –> 00:29:18,500
it on a pole and he’s like,
yeah, let’s go.

495
00:29:18,500 –> 00:29:21,500
So he takes his head and he goes
to Jerusalem and he puts it

496
00:29:21,500 –> 00:29:26,300
outside the gate and he’s like
ha and then he walks away right

497
00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:30,000
like what a funny thing to do,
but that’s because David was

498
00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:32,900
thinking Jerusalem is the city
of God.

499
00:29:34,000 –> 00:29:35,700
I’m going to take it when I
become king.

500
00:29:36,900 –> 00:29:40,200
And so from that point his mind
has been thinking Jerusalem

501
00:29:40,200 –> 00:29:42,800
Jerusalem Jerusalem.
It’s been on the Promises of God

502
00:29:42,800 –> 00:29:45,200
as soon as he becomes king as
soon as he’s Crown.

503
00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:48,700
That’s what he does now back to
second Samuel chapter five.

504
00:29:49,900 –> 00:29:53,700
So David takes Jerusalem after
he takes Jerusalem he goes and

505
00:29:53,700 –> 00:29:57,000
he has different battles with
the Philistines and then after

506
00:29:57,000 –> 00:30:01,700
that he goes on and he does
another thing so he’s had these

507
00:30:01,700 –> 00:30:04,200
battles with the Philistines.
He’s taken Jerusalem and now

508
00:30:04,200 –> 00:30:07,200
he’s going to fulfill another
promise of God second Samuel

509
00:30:07,200 –> 00:30:08,400
chapter 6.
What does he do?

510
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:13,500
It brings the artifact now
another question.

511
00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:15,400
How long is David been thinking
about that?

512
00:30:16,000 –> 00:30:17,500
Because I put to you.
He’s been thinking about it a

513
00:30:17,500 –> 00:30:19,300
long time just like he was with
Goliath.

514
00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:23,400
Any ideas this one’s harder.
I’m sorry.

515
00:30:23,500 –> 00:30:26,000
That’s not very nice to ask.
Yeah.

516
00:30:29,600 –> 00:30:32,500
Whoa.
Yeah, good job.

517
00:30:33,700 –> 00:30:38,100
I agree.
Okay, so check it out Psalm 132.

518
00:30:40,700 –> 00:30:48,600
All right Psalm 132 So, this is
David and he’s going to write

519
00:30:48,600 –> 00:30:51,100
about when he was thinking about
the arc.

520
00:30:54,000 –> 00:31:02,300
Psalm 132 we read in verse 4 I
will not sleep give sleep to

521
00:31:02,300 –> 00:31:06,400
mine eyes or Slumber to mine
eyelids until I find out a place

522
00:31:06,400 –> 00:31:09,800
for the Lord and habitation for
the Mighty God of Jacob now

523
00:31:09,900 –> 00:31:14,100
clearly David wasn’t thinking of
a place to make God live, right?

524
00:31:14,100 –> 00:31:17,700
He was the ark was God’s
presence for the people and so

525
00:31:17,700 –> 00:31:21,100
he says I want to find a place
for the ark and I will not sleep

526
00:31:21,100 –> 00:31:24,100
until I find that place.
Now look at what he says in

527
00:31:24,100 –> 00:31:28,700
verse 6 Lo we heard of it at
Ephrata?

528
00:31:29,400 –> 00:31:31,600
We found it in the fields of the
wood.

529
00:31:31,600 –> 00:31:34,500
Now you may recall from our
first class the Philistines

530
00:31:34,500 –> 00:31:38,100
stole the ark and first Samuel
chapter 7, we’re told that they

531
00:31:38,100 –> 00:31:39,900
bring it back.
Do you remember the city that

532
00:31:39,900 –> 00:31:46,400
they brought it to?
It was cured Jeff.

533
00:31:46,400 –> 00:31:47,800
Jairam.
Now.

534
00:31:48,700 –> 00:31:50,000
I know this is an obscure
question.

535
00:31:50,000 –> 00:31:52,300
Does anybody know does anybody
happen to know what cure Jetty

536
00:31:52,300 –> 00:31:56,800
remains?
Ah, there you go.

537
00:31:57,500 –> 00:32:02,200
Yeah.
So David says so David says we

538
00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:04,100
found it in the fields of the
wood.

539
00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:06,900
That’s Carriage at zero.
He’s talking about the arc here

540
00:32:07,100 –> 00:32:09,600
and what he says specifically is
we found it in the field of the

541
00:32:09,608 –> 00:32:14,200
wood and verse 6, we heard of it
at Ephrata.

542
00:32:14,200 –> 00:32:18,300
What’s Ephrata?
Bethlehem it’s another name for

543
00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:20,200
Bethlehem.
If you look it up you get out

544
00:32:20,200 –> 00:32:22,200
your concordance and you look up
effort to you’ll find out that

545
00:32:22,200 –> 00:32:23,600
that’s another name for
Bethlehem.

546
00:32:23,700 –> 00:32:26,900
So David is saying I’ve heard
about this and I have been

547
00:32:26,900 –> 00:32:32,400
thinking about it since I was in
Bethlehem, that’s how long David

548
00:32:32,400 –> 00:32:36,100
has desired.
To bring the ark to where it’s

549
00:32:36,100 –> 00:32:38,300
supposed to go.
So he realizes it needs to go in

550
00:32:38,300 –> 00:32:40,300
Jerusalem.
He goes and he takes Jerusalem

551
00:32:40,600 –> 00:32:42,900
and he brings the ark back.
Okay, we won’t look at a whole

552
00:32:42,900 –> 00:32:46,000
lot more on that.
But I just suffice it to say

553
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:49,700
that David has the promises of
God just going through his head

554
00:32:49,800 –> 00:32:52,200
and just kind of swirling around
thinking what can I do?

555
00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:54,000
What can I do?
And he does that in the

556
00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:56,400
beginning of his Reign and it’s
just it’s awesome.

557
00:32:56,400 –> 00:33:00,300
He goes he goes on in a second
Samuel chapter 8 and 9 and he

558
00:33:00,308 –> 00:33:03,800
takes a whole bunch of different
countries to fulfill the land

559
00:33:03,800 –> 00:33:07,400
the territory Was promised to
Abraham from the Euphrates to

560
00:33:07,400 –> 00:33:09,900
the border of Egypt and he goes
and he takes all those Nations.

561
00:33:10,200 –> 00:33:13,000
But anyway, it’s just it’s
interesting Promises of God on

562
00:33:13,000 –> 00:33:14,100
David’s mind.
Okay?

563
00:33:14,100 –> 00:33:16,500
What kind of study was that
character study?

564
00:33:16,500 –> 00:33:18,600
Here you go.
Okay hard to miss that one.

565
00:33:18,700 –> 00:33:22,500
That was good.
Okay, I’ll do I’ll just do one

566
00:33:22,500 –> 00:33:26,700
more.
Okay, so we got character we got

567
00:33:27,000 –> 00:33:29,900
we got book.
Are you ready for this one?

568
00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:32,300
All right.
Here we go.

569
00:33:32,400 –> 00:33:34,900
Daniel chapter 2 come with me to
Daniel.

570
00:33:34,900 –> 00:33:36,200
Oh, I guess that one makes it
obvious.

571
00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:37,500
Doesn’t it?
Ha ha ha.

572
00:33:38,500 –> 00:33:41,500
Okay.
Oh, well, we’ll go there.

573
00:33:41,500 –> 00:33:47,600
Anyway, Daniel, too.
All right, Daniel to somebody

574
00:33:47,600 –> 00:33:49,300
tell me what Daniel chapter 2 is
about.

575
00:33:50,500 –> 00:33:52,700
Dreams.
Yes, what what happens in the

576
00:33:52,700 –> 00:33:56,500
dream?
What was that?

577
00:33:58,000 –> 00:34:00,800
Okay image that’s right.
So you have an image and image

578
00:34:00,800 –> 00:34:02,900
has how many parts in this
image?

579
00:34:05,300 –> 00:34:09,800
Five that’s right.
Five parts head of okay, belly

580
00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:13,500
or arms of and belly of very
good.

581
00:34:13,699 –> 00:34:17,199
All right iron.
I switched it on you.

582
00:34:17,400 –> 00:34:20,500
Did you like that?
Okay, and then feet of iron and

583
00:34:20,500 –> 00:34:24,699
Clay, okay, so that’s the image
now.

584
00:34:25,800 –> 00:34:28,600
Generally this is understood and
I believe that this is correct

585
00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:33,300
as talking about the head is
what nation Babylon then you

586
00:34:33,300 –> 00:34:38,100
have medo-persia.
Then you have Greece Rome.

587
00:34:38,199 –> 00:34:41,699
And finally you see the feet.
You see mostly United Europe.

588
00:34:41,699 –> 00:34:43,900
You see the church that kind of
thing.

589
00:34:44,300 –> 00:34:47,000
Okay, so that’s generally how
it’s understood.

590
00:34:47,000 –> 00:34:51,199
However, what’s Advanced a lot
of times and I put to you that I

591
00:34:51,199 –> 00:34:56,199
don’t agree with this.
Is that this is a picture of

592
00:34:56,199 –> 00:34:59,800
world empires of the Empire’s
that would exist throughout the

593
00:34:59,800 –> 00:35:02,200
world until the coming of Christ
when he comes and smashes the

594
00:35:02,200 –> 00:35:03,900
image.
I don’t think that’s true.

595
00:35:04,400 –> 00:35:07,000
Now, please don’t feel
uncomfortable.

596
00:35:07,100 –> 00:35:09,400
That’s not supposed to make you
feel not to make you feel

597
00:35:09,400 –> 00:35:10,700
scared.
Let me explain what I mean.

598
00:35:12,500 –> 00:35:15,200
One of the one of the reasons
that this interpretation had

599
00:35:15,400 –> 00:35:22,400
that people started to criticize
this is because You ask well,

600
00:35:22,400 –> 00:35:25,100
what about the Mongol Empire?
And that was the largest

601
00:35:25,100 –> 00:35:27,200
contiguous land Empire.
That’s ever existed.

602
00:35:27,700 –> 00:35:30,800
Where’s where was that world
Empire right or what about the

603
00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:33,000
British Empire?
Which owned does anybody know

604
00:35:33,000 –> 00:35:38,300
how much the world controlled?
Yeah, it was it was about yeah,

605
00:35:38,300 –> 00:35:40,800
I was huge.
That was the biggest empire in

606
00:35:40,800 –> 00:35:43,400
all of history.
It was a quarter of the world.

607
00:35:44,500 –> 00:35:45,600
Isn’t that nuts?
Yeah.

608
00:35:45,800 –> 00:35:48,400
Yeah, the French had a big
Empire to so I mean, it’s it’s

609
00:35:48,600 –> 00:35:50,400
you you look at it.
And you say well, I can’t really

610
00:35:50,400 –> 00:35:52,200
be World Empires.
So some people have gone on to

611
00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:54,700
say well then it’s the Empire’s
that have ruled over Jerusalem.

612
00:35:54,800 –> 00:35:55,700
That’s not true.
Either.

613
00:35:56,700 –> 00:35:59,400
The reason why is yeah British
Empire?

614
00:36:00,200 –> 00:36:03,500
They ruled Jerusalem the other
the other reason is you look at

615
00:36:03,500 –> 00:36:07,200
the Ottoman Empire a lot of the
Islamic Empires the opposite the

616
00:36:07,200 –> 00:36:10,100
humid.
Have you say those those those

617
00:36:10,100 –> 00:36:13,100
aren’t there either and so what
I put to you, this is a picture

618
00:36:13,100 –> 00:36:18,200
of it’s Babylon Persia Greece
Rome and church.

619
00:36:18,200 –> 00:36:19,600
I think that’s definitely what
it is.

620
00:36:20,300 –> 00:36:24,700
But I put to you that what it is
is it’s not World Empires but it

621
00:36:24,700 –> 00:36:28,500
is the nation’s that will
continue the thinking of Babylon

622
00:36:29,300 –> 00:36:31,400
from the beginning to the end
until Christ comes.

623
00:36:32,600 –> 00:36:34,400
Yeah, I know that might sound
kind of strange that’s actually

624
00:36:34,400 –> 00:36:37,400
not new John Thomas Road and
help an exposition of Daniel.

625
00:36:37,500 –> 00:36:40,700
I wish I came up with something
that cool but I didn’t he

626
00:36:40,700 –> 00:36:42,800
actually made it even cooler
when he wrote it.

627
00:36:42,900 –> 00:36:47,700
He called it like the Babylon
the babylonish system and then

628
00:36:47,700 –> 00:36:51,000
he went on and he said like the
Babel opers in system the Babel

629
00:36:51,000 –> 00:36:54,300
aggression system everything at
Babylon in front of it, but the

630
00:36:54,500 –> 00:36:56,400
but anyway, so that’s kind of
the idea.

631
00:36:56,400 –> 00:36:58,900
It’s Babylon from the beginning
to the end now, I want to I want

632
00:36:58,900 –> 00:37:01,600
to try and prove to you why I
think that So if you’ll bear

633
00:37:01,600 –> 00:37:04,900
with me here Daniel chapter 2
there’s two reasons.

634
00:37:04,900 –> 00:37:07,200
There’s the context of the dream
context is huge.

635
00:37:07,300 –> 00:37:12,500
There’s the context to the dream
and then there is also other the

636
00:37:12,500 –> 00:37:15,000
the proof of other scriptures.
So we’re going to try and and

637
00:37:15,000 –> 00:37:21,000
fly through here Daniel chapter
2 verse 29, this is Daniel now

638
00:37:21,000 –> 00:37:23,800
explaining the dream to the king
and here’s what he says.

639
00:37:23,800 –> 00:37:27,600
This is what prompted the dream
to Nebuchadnezzar Daniel 2 verse

640
00:37:27,600 –> 00:37:30,800
29 as for the O King thy
thoughts came into though.

641
00:37:30,900 –> 00:37:34,200
My mind upon thy bed and here’s
the important part.

642
00:37:34,600 –> 00:37:37,000
What should come to pass
Hereafter.

643
00:37:37,300 –> 00:37:41,500
Now, I doubt that Nebuchadnezzar
was sitting there and thinking

644
00:37:41,500 –> 00:37:44,200
wow, what world Empires are
going to come after me.

645
00:37:44,700 –> 00:37:48,600
That’s probably not his thought
but I think what he was thinking

646
00:37:48,600 –> 00:37:51,500
is what’s going to happen to
Babylon.

647
00:37:53,100 –> 00:37:55,100
Does that make more sense?
What’s going to happen to

648
00:37:55,100 –> 00:37:57,100
Babylon?
What will happen to my Empire

649
00:37:57,300 –> 00:37:59,000
and God gives him a vision
showing.

650
00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:00,700
Well when you are Empire is
gone.

651
00:38:00,700 –> 00:38:03,600
The Persians are going to be the
new Babylonians.

652
00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:06,100
The Persians are gone.
The Greeks are going to be the

653
00:38:06,100 –> 00:38:08,400
new Babylonians from the top to
the bottom.

654
00:38:08,500 –> 00:38:11,500
It’s Babylon.
Now that might sound weird to

655
00:38:11,500 –> 00:38:13,200
say, okay.
Well, how could the Persians be

656
00:38:13,200 –> 00:38:15,200
Babylon?
Right and it’s interesting.

657
00:38:15,200 –> 00:38:19,000
We actually read it today in the
reading in Ezra chapter 5.

658
00:38:19,100 –> 00:38:22,300
It’s verse 13 you notice that
scripture actually calls Cyrus

659
00:38:22,300 –> 00:38:26,600
the king of Babylon and it’s
just it’s an awesome golden

660
00:38:26,600 –> 00:38:29,400
thread to just follow throughout
scripture, but all the time

661
00:38:29,900 –> 00:38:34,400
basically this power that God
hates that has always opposed to

662
00:38:34,408 –> 00:38:37,500
him is called Babylon.
Throughout scripture and it just

663
00:38:37,500 –> 00:38:41,000
comes up everywhere even like in
random places like Jericho.

664
00:38:41,000 –> 00:38:44,700
What does a confined he finds a
babylonish garment?

665
00:38:44,700 –> 00:38:48,300
Like what in Jericho, you know
at its God just kind of like

666
00:38:48,300 –> 00:38:50,200
reminding you.
Hey, don’t forget about Babylon

667
00:38:50,400 –> 00:38:53,900
right there the bad guys and it
is it shows up from the

668
00:38:53,900 –> 00:38:56,500
beginning to the end.
Now, let me just prove this a

669
00:38:56,508 –> 00:38:59,400
little bit further if you come
to Daniel chapter 7, you have

670
00:38:59,400 –> 00:39:04,000
another Vision what’s in Daniel
7 Beasts.

671
00:39:04,000 –> 00:39:05,500
Okay.
What’s the first Beast?

672
00:39:08,000 –> 00:39:09,800
It’s a lion, right?
Okay good.

673
00:39:09,900 –> 00:39:11,600
First piece is a lion.
I think you find that in verse

674
00:39:11,600 –> 00:39:15,400
4.
Yeah lion verse 4 now that

675
00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:18,500
represents Babylon.
This vision is a parallel Vision

676
00:39:18,500 –> 00:39:22,100
with chapter 2, right?
So you have a lion how many

677
00:39:22,100 –> 00:39:25,600
heads does it have?
One head.

678
00:39:25,900 –> 00:39:26,500
Okay.
Good.

679
00:39:26,500 –> 00:39:28,800
How many horns?
Does it have a might sound weird

680
00:39:29,500 –> 00:39:32,300
zero?
Okay one head zero horns.

681
00:39:32,400 –> 00:39:33,400
Okay.
Keep that in mind.

682
00:39:33,500 –> 00:39:35,600
All right.
Now next Beast is what?

683
00:39:36,000 –> 00:39:39,400
Yeah, they’re okay good.
So you got lion bear.

684
00:39:39,500 –> 00:39:42,000
How many heads does the bear
have one?

685
00:39:42,200 –> 00:39:44,200
Okay.
This might sound silly but it

686
00:39:44,200 –> 00:39:45,900
actually this is going
somewhere.

687
00:39:46,100 –> 00:39:49,900
The bear has one one head how
many horns zero?

688
00:39:49,900 –> 00:39:51,200
Okay.
So now we have a total of two

689
00:39:51,200 –> 00:39:52,800
heads, right?
Okay.

690
00:39:52,800 –> 00:39:57,000
What comes next?
leopard how many heads Three

691
00:39:57,500 –> 00:39:59,700
four.
Yes foreheads.

692
00:40:00,000 –> 00:40:04,500
Okay, how many horns?
Zero good.

693
00:40:04,600 –> 00:40:09,100
Okay.
So total of six heads so far and

694
00:40:09,100 –> 00:40:11,200
0 horns.
Okay, next Beast.

695
00:40:11,200 –> 00:40:15,200
What is it?
Great and terrible do you have

696
00:40:15,200 –> 00:40:17,900
yeah it is.
Do you do you mind if I call it

697
00:40:17,900 –> 00:40:20,000
a dragon?
Good?

698
00:40:20,700 –> 00:40:23,600
Okay, so I think it’s probably
dragonish.

699
00:40:24,000 –> 00:40:26,500
Alright, so we have this great
and terrible dragonish type

700
00:40:26,500 –> 00:40:31,100
Beast how many heads Seven seven
one.

701
00:40:31,200 –> 00:40:33,400
There we go.
One head big difference.

702
00:40:33,500 –> 00:40:36,300
Okay one head.
How many horns ten?

703
00:40:36,300 –> 00:40:37,900
Okay.
Now put everything together.

704
00:40:38,000 –> 00:40:40,300
How many heads do we have total?
Seven heads?

705
00:40:40,300 –> 00:40:45,300
How many horns ten horns?
Okay now come with me to

706
00:40:45,300 –> 00:40:50,900
Revelation 13 Hahaha, yes, if
you’re waiting for your

707
00:40:50,900 –> 00:40:58,200
seven-headed Beast, here it is.
Okay Revelation 13.

708
00:40:58,200 –> 00:41:01,200
So we’ve just gone through
Daniel 7 and we’ve seen that in

709
00:41:01,200 –> 00:41:06,800
this parallel vision.
We have four beasts which match

710
00:41:06,800 –> 00:41:09,500
up with those four medals and
what comes later we didn’t look

711
00:41:09,500 –> 00:41:10,900
at this part.
But what comes after that is a

712
00:41:10,900 –> 00:41:13,500
little horn a little horn
matches up with the feet and the

713
00:41:13,508 –> 00:41:17,200
image the fifth phase of this
babylonish system.

714
00:41:17,400 –> 00:41:19,600
Okay Revelation 13, look at what
we have.

715
00:41:19,700 –> 00:41:23,300
I just I think that this is
awesome scripture is amazing in

716
00:41:23,300 –> 00:41:27,600
the way that it connects things.
Okay Revelation 13 verse 1 says

717
00:41:27,900 –> 00:41:30,400
and I stood upon the sand of the
sea and saw a beast rise up out

718
00:41:30,400 –> 00:41:36,000
of the sea having look at that.
Seven heads and ten horns.

719
00:41:36,000 –> 00:41:40,900
Oh, does that sound familiar
interesting seven heads and ten

720
00:41:40,900 –> 00:41:45,600
horns and upon his horns ten
crowns and upon his heads the

721
00:41:45,600 –> 00:41:50,100
name of blasphemy and the Beast
which I saw was like unto a

722
00:41:50,900 –> 00:41:55,500
leopard and his feet were as the
feet of a bear and his mouth as

723
00:41:55,500 –> 00:42:00,100
the mouth of a lion and the
dragon gave him his power.

724
00:42:00,200 –> 00:42:03,800
It’s almost like somebody took
Daniel chapter 7 and said, Hey,

725
00:42:03,800 –> 00:42:06,100
these beasts are kind of cool.
Let’s see what happens if we mix

726
00:42:06,100 –> 00:42:09,800
them together, right and and
just put them all together.

727
00:42:09,800 –> 00:42:12,700
And this is what came out.
So you have a beast that that

728
00:42:12,700 –> 00:42:16,300
has a mouth and it has feet like
a bear a body like a leopard and

729
00:42:16,300 –> 00:42:19,000
power like a dragon and it has
seven heads and ten horns.

730
00:42:19,600 –> 00:42:23,100
It’s like a combination of all
those Empires now when an Empire

731
00:42:23,100 –> 00:42:27,900
takes over another what happens
to the Empire’s culture that it

732
00:42:27,908 –> 00:42:33,200
took over.
It mixes it absorbs it more or

733
00:42:33,200 –> 00:42:35,300
less, right?
That’s why we have such a huge

734
00:42:35,300 –> 00:42:37,700
Greek influence because the
Greek Empire was taken over by

735
00:42:37,700 –> 00:42:39,900
the Romans.
Then Romans were taken over by a

736
00:42:39,908 –> 00:42:42,200
bunch of different people and it
just kind of spread their

737
00:42:42,200 –> 00:42:45,500
culture did okay.
So what we see here now in

738
00:42:45,500 –> 00:42:51,100
Revelation 13 is I put to you
the fifth phase of the image in

739
00:42:51,100 –> 00:42:55,500
which those four beasts have
passed and a new empires here

740
00:42:55,500 –> 00:43:00,400
the seven-headed 10 horned
beast, which has a Specks of all

741
00:43:00,400 –> 00:43:03,600
the different Empires from
before aspects from Babylon

742
00:43:03,700 –> 00:43:07,200
Persia Greece and Rome and now
we’re looking at a new Empire

743
00:43:07,300 –> 00:43:10,900
aka the church.
Okay.

744
00:43:11,700 –> 00:43:13,500
Well you’ll never guess what
this Empire is called in chapter

745
00:43:13,500 –> 00:43:17,000
17.
Come on over to chapter 17 and

746
00:43:17,008 –> 00:43:21,200
let’s look at verse 5.
Actually, I should I should

747
00:43:21,300 –> 00:43:24,800
clarify this a little bit.
This is the same Beast a Chapter

748
00:43:24,800 –> 00:43:27,500
13, by the way, same pieces
chapter 13.

749
00:43:28,000 –> 00:43:31,700
We find that out 17 verse 3 says
so he carried me away in the

750
00:43:31,707 –> 00:43:35,500
spirit Into the Wilderness and I
saw a woman sit upon a Scarlet

751
00:43:35,500 –> 00:43:37,500
coloured Beast full of names of
blasphemy.

752
00:43:37,500 –> 00:43:41,300
And here it is having seven
heads and ten horns.

753
00:43:41,300 –> 00:43:42,900
Same Beast.
Now, look at what it’s called

754
00:43:42,900 –> 00:43:47,900
verse 5 And upon her forehead
was a name written mystery

755
00:43:48,800 –> 00:43:52,500
Babylon the great from the top
to the bottom of the image.

756
00:43:52,500 –> 00:43:54,900
You have Babylon.
We’re specifically told in

757
00:43:54,900 –> 00:43:57,600
Daniel chapter 2.
The head of gold is Babylon and

758
00:43:57,600 –> 00:44:00,000
now we come to the feet the
fifth phase.

759
00:44:00,000 –> 00:44:04,300
We followed it through Daniel 7
Revelation 13 now chapter 17 and

760
00:44:04,300 –> 00:44:06,900
it’s called Babylon Daniel
choose image is not a picture of

761
00:44:06,908 –> 00:44:08,700
world Empires.
It’s a picture of Babylon.

762
00:44:09,800 –> 00:44:12,800
The empires of Babylon and
specifically the Empire’s that

763
00:44:12,800 –> 00:44:17,000
would carry on Babylons thinking
of a corrupting Doctrine and

764
00:44:17,000 –> 00:44:19,900
hatred of God’s people and so
you can actually follow that

765
00:44:19,900 –> 00:44:22,700
through all the different
Empires there in that image in

766
00:44:22,700 –> 00:44:26,000
which the Babylonians hated the
Jews they went in they took them

767
00:44:26,000 –> 00:44:29,200
over destroyed the temple we
read about that today.

768
00:44:29,200 –> 00:44:32,800
In fact, the Persians instituted
a huge genocide in which all the

769
00:44:32,800 –> 00:44:35,100
Jews are supposed to be killed
in one day thankfully through

770
00:44:35,100 –> 00:44:37,700
God’s intervention they weren’t
but that was what the Persians

771
00:44:37,700 –> 00:44:41,000
were going to do.
Then you have the Greeks who

772
00:44:41,000 –> 00:44:45,500
under Antiochus epiphanes went
and burned a pig on the altar of

773
00:44:45,500 –> 00:44:47,000
the temple just cuz he thought
it was funny.

774
00:44:48,300 –> 00:44:50,800
And then set up a statue of Zeus
in the temple.

775
00:44:51,900 –> 00:44:56,700
Then you have the Romans 8070
came and destroyed Jerusalem and

776
00:44:56,700 –> 00:45:01,700
then you have the then you have
the church which has throughout

777
00:45:01,700 –> 00:45:04,200
the centuries persecuted and
killed juice.

778
00:45:05,500 –> 00:45:06,700
I can talk to you about that
later.

779
00:45:06,800 –> 00:45:09,400
But anyway, that’s that’s that
what kind of study was that

780
00:45:10,300 –> 00:45:11,400
prophetic study?
Yes.

781
00:45:11,400 –> 00:45:12,600
That’s right.
Okay.

782
00:45:12,700 –> 00:45:15,800
So those are just a few examples
of different types of study when

783
00:45:15,800 –> 00:45:19,700
you start to do Bible study.
Down and figure out what kind of

784
00:45:19,700 –> 00:45:21,700
study do I want to do?
Right?

785
00:45:21,700 –> 00:45:24,500
That’s the first thing because
if you if you sit down and

786
00:45:24,500 –> 00:45:26,700
you’re like, wow, you know what
we just read Ezra 5 and the

787
00:45:26,700 –> 00:45:28,200
readings that’s an awesome
chapter.

788
00:45:28,300 –> 00:45:30,600
I’m going to study Ezra five and
then you sit down the next day

789
00:45:30,600 –> 00:45:33,200
and you’re reading acts and you
say wow, we just read acts.

790
00:45:33,200 –> 00:45:35,600
That was awesome, too.
I wonder if SR5 an axe connect

791
00:45:35,600 –> 00:45:39,400
and I’m going to study those two
at the same time and that’s not

792
00:45:39,400 –> 00:45:42,000
a good way of approaching it
figure out.

793
00:45:42,100 –> 00:45:43,800
OK I want to do a character
study.

794
00:45:44,400 –> 00:45:47,600
Now narrow it down.
I want to do a character study.

795
00:45:47,700 –> 00:45:49,200
Who do you?
To study who’s a good person to

796
00:45:49,200 –> 00:45:52,900
study.
Jonathan Joseph, let’s do Joseph

797
00:45:52,900 –> 00:45:54,000
because he said he Jonathan’s
day.

798
00:45:54,100 –> 00:45:56,300
Okay Joseph now narrow it down
even further.

799
00:45:56,300 –> 00:45:57,600
What do you want to study about
Joseph?

800
00:45:58,600 –> 00:46:02,900
Early life when he was Prince
later when his brothers came.

801
00:46:04,300 –> 00:46:06,600
Because if you just said Joseph
you’re looking at like 25

802
00:46:06,600 –> 00:46:10,300
chapters in Genesis, right?
And you’re you’re going to be

803
00:46:10,300 –> 00:46:13,000
like, oh goodness.
This is going to take me like

804
00:46:13,000 –> 00:46:15,500
forever and you’re going to
start and I almost guarantee you

805
00:46:15,500 –> 00:46:17,800
this you’re going to start and
do like three chapters and be

806
00:46:17,800 –> 00:46:20,700
like, wow, that was a lot and
then you’re going to go do

807
00:46:20,700 –> 00:46:25,000
something else.
So figure out figure out

808
00:46:25,000 –> 00:46:29,900
something smaller something
smaller to do what what aspect

809
00:46:29,900 –> 00:46:32,400
of Joseph is cool.
What aspect of Joseph is

810
00:46:32,400 –> 00:46:36,000
exciting to study?
What was that?

811
00:46:37,600 –> 00:46:40,500
Yeah, yeah.
So the slavery in Egypt, is that

812
00:46:40,500 –> 00:46:44,200
what you said?
Yeah, so check that out.

813
00:46:44,300 –> 00:46:46,200
So what would that be?
That’s like genesis.

814
00:46:47,200 –> 00:46:49,400
What is that like 3940 something
like that.

815
00:46:49,700 –> 00:46:53,900
So just study those chapters.
I just say okay.

816
00:46:53,900 –> 00:46:57,200
I’m going to study Joseph being
taken to Egypt and read those

817
00:46:57,200 –> 00:47:01,100
chapters over and over and over
get every christadelphians book.

818
00:47:01,100 –> 00:47:05,300
You can that touches on Joseph
in Egypt and read those sections

819
00:47:05,400 –> 00:47:08,000
and take notes on them.
And that’s that’s what I

820
00:47:08,008 –> 00:47:11,900
recommend get it into something
small and then you finish that

821
00:47:12,000 –> 00:47:14,800
and you finished in like two
weeks or something and then you

822
00:47:14,808 –> 00:47:15,800
say wow.
That was cool.

823
00:47:15,800 –> 00:47:19,500
You know, I finished now, I’ll
move on to Joseph when he’s in

824
00:47:19,500 –> 00:47:23,500
prison.
And now just study that and then

825
00:47:23,500 –> 00:47:25,400
you finish that in a couple of
weeks and you move on you say

826
00:47:25,400 –> 00:47:29,200
now I’m going to study Joseph
when he’s ruler and just break

827
00:47:29,200 –> 00:47:33,500
it into something small so you
can do it and once you do that,

828
00:47:33,600 –> 00:47:36,700
then you’re good to kind of move
on but that that really is one

829
00:47:36,700 –> 00:47:39,900
of the big Keys figure out what
kind of study you’re going to do

830
00:47:40,000 –> 00:47:44,200
break it down into something
smaller and then get it done.
