212: Jason Robinson – Exhortation: “In The Hebrew”

1
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
Welcome to good for selfie and
talks.

2
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:51,100 –> 00:00:53,400
Welcome to the good Chris set up
in talks podcast.

10
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:57,900
This is brother Brian.
This week’s episode is a bit of

11
00:00:57,908 –> 00:01:02,100
a double feature.
Just trying to capitalize on the

12
00:01:02,100 –> 00:01:04,800
timing of some new classes being
uploaded.

13
00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:08,000
So let me explain this week’s
feature.

14
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:11,700
Talk is an excitation that was
given by Brother Jason.

15
00:01:11,700 –> 00:01:16,400
Robinson at the Midwest Bible
school this past summer The

16
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:20,000
title of his expectation was in
the Hebrew.

17
00:01:21,100 –> 00:01:26,000
And it was a separate topic,
then his main theme for the week

18
00:01:26,200 –> 00:01:28,400
which was the Tails of the
Giants.

19
00:01:29,600 –> 00:01:33,600
Now this was a fantastic series
that both myself and brother

20
00:01:33,600 –> 00:01:38,600
Michael Livermore heard live.
And when brother Mike who was

21
00:01:38,600 –> 00:01:42,300
gracious enough to be one of our
guest hosts over the summer.

22
00:01:43,100 –> 00:01:47,600
Had one of these classes picked
out, I wasn’t surprised at all

23
00:01:48,800 –> 00:01:53,200
but for the sake of giving
props, where I think they’re do,

24
00:01:53,800 –> 00:01:58,500
the feature talk from a month
ago, the Giant and the boy I

25
00:01:58,500 –> 00:02:01,500
think is not even the Highlight
or even the second highlight of

26
00:02:01,500 –> 00:02:06,000
the whole series So now that the
classes have been finally

27
00:02:06,100 –> 00:02:10,600
uploaded, we can make them all
available on the gzt extended

28
00:02:10,600 –> 00:02:15,100
podcast.
But I just wanted to say For

29
00:02:15,100 –> 00:02:17,500
disclosure, I think you’re
missing out.

30
00:02:17,800 –> 00:02:21,400
If you don’t make the time to go
through all six because they

31
00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:25,400
were just loaded with Little
Gems and great.

32
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:28,700
Practical advice.
Brother.

33
00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:32,600
Jason had an interactive
pamphlet that he had the

34
00:02:32,600 –> 00:02:35,900
audience working through as the
week went on and I think we’ll

35
00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:38,900
reach out to him and we’ll see
if that can be made available

36
00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:43,900
online for like a pin a PDF or
something for any listeners, who

37
00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:47,300
perhaps may also want to follow
along and get the full

38
00:02:47,300 –> 00:02:53,000
experience as they list.
I say all that.

39
00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:59,300
Because in context, this
excitation was actually the last

40
00:02:59,300 –> 00:03:03,500
thing we heard for the week.
And it could easily have been

41
00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:08,400
dwarfed and forgotten compared
to the Tails of the Giants that

42
00:03:08,400 –> 00:03:11,300
we had just been listening to
the had been so

43
00:03:11,300 –> 00:03:15,400
attention-grabbing all week.
But this excitation stuck with

44
00:03:15,400 –> 00:03:18,400
me even more for just being a
great Bible.

45
00:03:18,400 –> 00:03:22,200
Marking opportunity based on a
very peculiar phrase that stands

46
00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:28,800
out in the Gospel of John.
An example of it comes from John

47
00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:34,400
chapter, 19 in bolsas both
verses 13 and verse 17.

48
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:39,000
So for example, when pilate
therefore heard that saying he

49
00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:42,200
brought forth Jesus and they sat
down on the Judgment seat in a

50
00:03:42,200 –> 00:03:46,900
place that is called the
pavement, but in the Hebrew

51
00:03:47,500 –> 00:03:53,200
gabbatha, And in verse 17 and he
bearing his cross went forth

52
00:03:53,200 –> 00:03:58,700
into a place called the place of
a skull, which is called in the

53
00:03:58,700 –> 00:04:05,300
Hebrew Golgotha.
So brother Jason’s breakdown of

54
00:04:05,300 –> 00:04:09,600
who John was targeting when he
added that clarification and

55
00:04:09,600 –> 00:04:12,700
what he was trying to draw our
attention back to is just a

56
00:04:12,700 –> 00:04:16,399
really cool Old Testament
connection that made for some

57
00:04:16,399 –> 00:04:19,600
really good Bible marking and
his an excitation that I won’t

58
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:25,300
forget anytime soon.
So as always, we hope this

59
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:29,400
double feature, perhaps
strengthens your faith and

60
00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:33,600
brightens your day.
But the Jason Robinson in the

61
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:38,500
Hebrew.
Thanks again for the Paul and

62
00:04:38,600 –> 00:04:40,300
good evening brothers and
sisters.

63
00:04:40,300 –> 00:04:42,600
I do of course bring with me the
love.

64
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:46,700
And the readings of your
brothers and sisters in the

65
00:04:46,700 –> 00:04:49,700
Thousand Oaks.
Ecclesia in Southern California,

66
00:04:50,700 –> 00:04:54,800
a few of whom have enjoyed quite
a spectacular week.

67
00:04:55,100 –> 00:05:00,600
If you all here at Midwest Bible
School, Yes, we do our reading,

68
00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:05,500
sometimes we go through the
different gospels and we hit the

69
00:05:05,500 –> 00:05:09,500
beach, basically twice per year.
Sometimes we may struggle

70
00:05:09,500 –> 00:05:13,400
actually with the timing with
the order, with the harmony of

71
00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:16,000
the events laid out for us in
scriptures, sometimes we’ll sit

72
00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:18,900
and we’ll try to do it with a
determined attitude figure out

73
00:05:18,900 –> 00:05:22,500
where each story bits and pieces
together and other times.

74
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:25,700
It just seems impossible, but
these gospels are two different

75
00:05:25,700 –> 00:05:31,200
to find any perfect unity in
them, but it’s This balance and

76
00:05:31,200 –> 00:05:36,300
it’s the imbalance that makes
these differences in the gospel.

77
00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:41,200
He holes into elaborate themes
that add the depth in the color

78
00:05:41,200 –> 00:05:46,000
of each of the Gospels.
For our minds, preparation for

79
00:05:46,000 –> 00:05:48,400
these emblems.
This evening, we’re going to

80
00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:52,300
look together through one of
these key holes found uniquely

81
00:05:52,300 –> 00:05:57,700
in the Gospel of John and a
little bit more, broadly.

82
00:05:57,900 –> 00:06:01,900
Actually in John’s writings all
together, this little phrase.

83
00:06:01,900 –> 00:06:05,800
Although unique out of the
nearly 40 authors, throughout

84
00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:11,500
all of scripture unique, only to
John gives us a tremendous

85
00:06:11,500 –> 00:06:15,400
excitation as to Christ’s Piss
in life.

86
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:22,000
And of course, ultimately in his
death, this small but almost

87
00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:27,100
unnoticeable theme would have
angered the perceptive readers

88
00:06:27,400 –> 00:06:32,100
of John’s gospel.
But for us, it’s just another

89
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:37,000
gem buried in the scriptures.
Requires us to do a little

90
00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:41,900
digging to get it out, little
polish, to shine it up, but to,

91
00:06:41,900 –> 00:06:45,400
of course, ultimately admire to
be the work of our heavenly

92
00:06:45,400 –> 00:06:47,800
father.
And it’s this little phrase that

93
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:49,900
occurs only five times in
scripture.

94
00:06:49,900 –> 00:06:53,800
All in John’s writings two of
them were read for us today.

95
00:06:53,800 –> 00:07:00,300
In John chapter 19, One of them
occurs earlier in John and John

96
00:07:00,300 –> 00:07:04,700
chapter 5 and the other to occur
in his book of Revelation.

97
00:07:06,200 –> 00:07:10,400
The phrase is in the Hebrew or
in the Hebrew tongue.

98
00:07:11,500 –> 00:07:17,500
Followed by a Hebrew word.
John is the only one to announce

99
00:07:17,500 –> 00:07:22,400
that he will be using a Hebrew
word to add another layer for

100
00:07:22,500 –> 00:07:25,400
his explanation.
He uses the words, Bethesda

101
00:07:25,500 –> 00:07:30,700
gabbatha, Golgotha Abaddon, and
Armageddon this evening, we’re

102
00:07:30,700 –> 00:07:33,400
going to explore just the two
that occur for us.

103
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:37,000
In John chapter 19, if you
haven’t already turned their,

104
00:07:37,000 –> 00:07:40,900
please turn with me to John
chapter 19, you know, in John

105
00:07:40,900 –> 00:07:44,500
various Brethren, have brought
to our attention keywords that

106
00:07:44,500 –> 00:07:47,800
really frame the This gospel key
words that define the direction.

107
00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:51,200
The authors mindset, the Divine
message, contained therein.

108
00:07:51,200 –> 00:07:55,900
But there is one word which
stands out in the context of the

109
00:07:55,907 –> 00:07:59,500
book which God wanted John’s
message to portray.

110
00:07:59,500 –> 00:08:01,900
So clearly that it couldn’t be
missed.

111
00:08:02,700 –> 00:08:08,900
It’s the word, the Jews.
It refers not to the general

112
00:08:08,900 –> 00:08:12,900
race of the Israelites as a
whole, but rather to that

113
00:08:12,900 –> 00:08:17,300
certain group of those cunning
and jealous rulers in the temple

114
00:08:17,300 –> 00:08:21,900
service.
The chief priests or as the

115
00:08:21,900 –> 00:08:25,100
Greek word we know them by the
Sanhedrin.

116
00:08:26,200 –> 00:08:30,100
To see this in action, I’ll read
for you from the first chapter,

117
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,200
the first time that John uses
this word in John 1, verse 19,

118
00:08:34,900 –> 00:08:38,400
it says, and this is the record
of John when the Jews sent

119
00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:41,700
priests and Levites from
Jerusalem to ask him who art,

120
00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:46,100
thou?
And it says that the Jews sent

121
00:08:46,100 –> 00:08:50,600
priests from Jerusalem.
These were priests based in

122
00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:55,200
Jerusalem and they came to this
new Prophet to question his

123
00:08:55,200 –> 00:09:00,200
authority. 32 question.
This newfound Fame that he was

124
00:09:00,200 –> 00:09:06,800
getting. now, the beginning of
the verse says, this is This is

125
00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:13,300
the record of John God, through
John wants us to pay attention

126
00:09:13,600 –> 00:09:20,400
to this group of Jewish priests
known as the Sanhedrin for his

127
00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:24,500
entire book, pay attention to
them, as you read this book.

128
00:09:26,900 –> 00:09:29,400
Now, the Sanhedrin was a group
of the, seventy Elders of the

129
00:09:29,400 –> 00:09:34,300
priests who had noticed that
their power and others had

130
00:09:34,300 –> 00:09:37,500
noticed that their power had
grown far beyond what God ever

131
00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:40,500
intended their power to grow to,
in the law.

132
00:09:40,900 –> 00:09:43,500
Now, to further cement, John’s
message in our mind to restate,

133
00:09:43,500 –> 00:09:46,200
what many Brethren have put
forward many times before.

134
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:53,500
While Matthew uses the word, the
Jew five times, mark, seven

135
00:09:53,500 –> 00:10:01,400
times Luke also five times, John
uses it, 70, It’s not

136
00:10:01,400 –> 00:10:05,100
coincidence one for every member
of the Jewish Sanhedrin.

137
00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:12,700
So with this context, we look at
John chapter 19, pilot is

138
00:10:12,700 –> 00:10:17,600
struggling, to find a reason to
follow the Jewish cries to kill

139
00:10:17,800 –> 00:10:20,900
this Jesus.
He almost seems to barter with

140
00:10:20,900 –> 00:10:23,700
the Jews, but it gets
overwhelmed by their shouting

141
00:10:23,700 –> 00:10:26,000
and he comes in before Christ,
and he just wants Christ to

142
00:10:26,000 –> 00:10:30,200
prove his innocence Hi, that is
growing more and more cowardly

143
00:10:30,200 –> 00:10:32,700
more and more afraid, and he
finally makes up his mind to

144
00:10:32,700 –> 00:10:36,000
just release Christ and to be
done with the whole situation.

145
00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:41,400
And so we come to John 19, verse
12 and from thenceforth Pilot

146
00:10:41,400 –> 00:10:45,700
sought to release him.
If I can get him off my hands,

147
00:10:46,100 –> 00:10:53,000
this will be done.
But the Jews cried out saying,

148
00:10:53,200 –> 00:10:59,000
if thou let this man go That
works not Caesars friend.

149
00:11:00,900 –> 00:11:07,900
Whosoever maketh himself a king
speaketh against Caesar. when

150
00:11:07,900 –> 00:11:13,500
pilate therefore heard that
saying, he brought Jesus fourth

151
00:11:13,700 –> 00:11:17,000
and sat down in the Judgment
seat in a place that is called

152
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:22,400
the pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gothita.

153
00:11:23,900 –> 00:11:27,400
And so for our expectation we
get our first mention of this

154
00:11:28,300 –> 00:11:34,200
point that John makes well it’s
called this but those Hebrews

155
00:11:34,300 –> 00:11:39,300
the Hebrews call it that.
Now before John comets in the

156
00:11:39,300 –> 00:11:42,600
Hebrew word he says that it’s
called the pavement John by

157
00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:48,600
using just this little word.
So specially in his gospel is

158
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:53,200
trying to bring our minds to
Christ’s ultimate purpose.

159
00:11:53,300 –> 00:11:55,300
The purpose of our excitation,
the purpose.

160
00:11:55,800 –> 00:11:59,100
We find ourselves here this
evening, but also to

161
00:11:59,100 –> 00:12:01,700
simultaneously shine a spotlight
on how easy it is to miss

162
00:12:01,700 –> 00:12:02,700
something.
That could be right in front of

163
00:12:02,700 –> 00:12:05,100
us, John is using this word for
One.

164
00:12:05,100 –> 00:12:09,900
Good Reason the pavement, he
wants our minds to scan the law.

165
00:12:12,100 –> 00:12:16,700
well, the law, that’s epitome
the basis, the foundation of the

166
00:12:16,700 –> 00:12:23,100
Sanhedrin Doctrine, So we’ll do
just what John wants will follow

167
00:12:23,100 –> 00:12:25,500
along with him.
If you would come with me to

168
00:12:25,500 –> 00:12:30,300
Exodus chapter 24 because he
uses the word the pavement for a

169
00:12:30,300 –> 00:12:34,600
very interesting reason before
we look at the translation into

170
00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:37,400
the Hebrew gabbatha, it’s
important to say well why does

171
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:41,800
he use both?
Why is John unique and saying?

172
00:12:41,900 –> 00:12:44,200
It’s this, but it’s also in
Hebrew math.

173
00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:52,900
Exodus 24 and verse 10. 94
context then went up Moses and

174
00:12:52,900 –> 00:12:58,200
Aaron nadab and a by who and 70
elders of Israel and they saw

175
00:12:58,200 –> 00:13:05,800
the god of Israel. and there was
under his feet as it were a

176
00:13:05,800 –> 00:13:10,300
paved work of sapphire stone and
as it were the body of Heaven,

177
00:13:11,600 –> 00:13:15,400
in his clearness, it says, in
verse 10, they saw the god of

178
00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:21,900
Israel and under his feet as it
were paved work, how does that

179
00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:26,100
relate Look at verses 7 and 8
and he took the book of the

180
00:13:26,108 –> 00:13:28,500
Covenant and read in the
audience of all the people.

181
00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:32,400
And they said all that Yahweh
have said, will we do and be

182
00:13:32,400 –> 00:13:36,700
obedient and Moses.
Took the blood and sprinkled it

183
00:13:36,700 –> 00:13:42,300
on the people and said, behold
the blood of the Covenant What

184
00:13:42,300 –> 00:13:44,800
shall we have made with you
concerning all these words.

185
00:13:44,900 –> 00:13:47,700
So in verses 7 and 8 that people
all heard the law and they all

186
00:13:47,700 –> 00:13:54,200
agreed that they would obey it.
This was a vision of Israel to

187
00:13:54,200 –> 00:13:58,300
rise up early make a covenant by
sacrifice and shedding of blood

188
00:13:58,300 –> 00:14:03,300
and to finalize this agreement
Moses would sprinkle the blood

189
00:14:03,800 –> 00:14:12,500
on the people only moments after
Pilots brings in Christ into the

190
00:14:12,500 –> 00:14:17,100
pavement.
The 70 elders, the Sanhedrin

191
00:14:17,100 –> 00:14:20,500
would cry.
His blood be on us.

192
00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:26,600
Just as in the pavement where
Moses would sprinkle the blood

193
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:28,900
of the Covenant, when they all
agreed that they would follow it

194
00:14:29,000 –> 00:14:33,600
and Obey it in the audience of
the 70 elders of Israel.

195
00:14:35,300 –> 00:14:38,200
But Matthew 27 says that the
people cried out his blood be

196
00:14:38,200 –> 00:14:41,400
upon us and upon our children,
the Jews did not realize the

197
00:14:41,400 –> 00:14:46,200
Wonder in their words which they
chose that day as the man, they

198
00:14:46,200 –> 00:14:49,600
beheld was the vision and the
manifestation of the god of

199
00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:52,200
Israel whose feet were on the
pavement.

200
00:14:55,300 –> 00:14:58,300
But that wasn’t enough proof of
John’s intentions of why he uses

201
00:14:58,300 –> 00:15:00,900
the pavement.
Exodus tells us who was there

202
00:15:00,900 –> 00:15:04,500
witnessing with their own eyes.
The manifestation of God, it was

203
00:15:04,500 –> 00:15:07,300
those seventy Elders by whom
that’s the same.

204
00:15:07,300 –> 00:15:10,300
Heejun was based upon brothers
and sisters.

205
00:15:10,400 –> 00:15:18,100
This was the pavement. but in
the Hebrew gabbatha and any

206
00:15:18,100 –> 00:15:22,500
Jewish readers ears would
instantly perk up when they

207
00:15:22,500 –> 00:15:27,300
heard of their sacred tongue had
been mentioned cabassa, What

208
00:15:27,300 –> 00:15:33,000
does good bafa mean?
Well, it means elevated or a

209
00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:37,400
platform, it’s widely accepted
today that it was the place

210
00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:40,500
called the rim of gases.
Which is really spelled the same

211
00:15:40,500 –> 00:15:43,100
exact way in Hebrew.
It’s known for its Square,

212
00:15:43,100 –> 00:15:45,700
smooth tiles.
And it was a place where the

213
00:15:45,700 –> 00:15:48,200
Sanhedrin was six in the temple,
where they would judge the

214
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:51,600
people and it’s still visible
today and you can still see the

215
00:15:51,600 –> 00:15:54,000
ancient scratch marks made by
the Romans in the time.

216
00:15:55,400 –> 00:15:58,500
Now, while this word Agatha,
does not actually occur directly

217
00:15:58,500 –> 00:16:01,500
in the Old Testament.
The Septuagint here is a

218
00:16:01,500 –> 00:16:05,000
fantastic help.
Turn with me to Second

219
00:16:05,000 –> 00:16:09,300
Chronicles chapter 7, Second
Chronicles chapter 7.

220
00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:15,000
The same word used for the
pavement in John’s gospel is

221
00:16:15,000 –> 00:16:18,600
also used in the Septuagint
account of 2nd Chronicles 7.

222
00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:24,500
We again, see the presence of
Yahweh above the people, as an

223
00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:26,400
exodus 20:4.
We again.

224
00:16:26,400 –> 00:16:29,200
See the consecration of a
dwelling place for Yahweh.

225
00:16:29,700 –> 00:16:33,100
As an exodus 20:4, a place where
people could come and be taught

226
00:16:33,100 –> 00:16:36,700
that he is good, his Mercy
endures forever.

227
00:16:38,300 –> 00:16:40,700
But it was upon the pavement in
Chronicles.

228
00:16:40,900 –> 00:16:44,500
As we read verses 1 through 3.
Now, when Solomon had made an

229
00:16:44,500 –> 00:16:47,600
end of praying, the fire came
down from heaven and consumed,

230
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:50,800
the burnt offering and the
sacrifices and the glory of

231
00:16:50,800 –> 00:16:53,900
Yahweh filled the house.
And the priest cannot enter into

232
00:16:53,900 –> 00:16:57,100
the house of the Lord, because
the glory of, Yahweh had filled

233
00:16:57,100 –> 00:16:59,200
yahweh’s house.
And when all the children of

234
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:02,800
Israel saw, how the fire came
down and the glory of Yahweh

235
00:17:02,800 –> 00:17:06,099
pain, the house, they bowed
themselves with their faces to

236
00:17:06,099 –> 00:17:10,099
the ground.
Upon the pavement.

237
00:17:11,599 –> 00:17:14,800
And worship Him, Praise Yahweh
saying for he is good and for

238
00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:18,099
his mercy endureth forever.
It was upon the pavement in

239
00:17:18,099 –> 00:17:22,599
Chronicles that this entire
congregation joined together,

240
00:17:22,599 –> 00:17:24,700
not to crucify their lord on
this account.

241
00:17:25,700 –> 00:17:27,599
But to see you always mercy
upon.

242
00:17:29,700 –> 00:17:36,000
All people verse 3, all the
children of Israel verse for all

243
00:17:36,000 –> 00:17:39,600
people, verse 5, all people
verse 6.

244
00:17:39,700 –> 00:17:47,700
All Israel It was in gabbatha.
It was upon the pavement that

245
00:17:47,700 –> 00:17:54,100
John shows us that all people.
Who follow Christ can

246
00:17:54,100 –> 00:17:58,000
participate in the mercy of
Yahweh by the sacrifice of the

247
00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:02,100
perfect offering. it was a place
where the priest could not enter

248
00:18:02,100 –> 00:18:06,600
a place, paved with sapphire
stones a place where Pilot Cried

249
00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:15,200
unto the Sanhedrin, behold your
king As we continue in John

250
00:18:15,200 –> 00:18:22,400
chapter 19, we come to verse 13.
When pilate therefore heard that

251
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,500
saying he brought Jesus fourth
and sat him in the Judgment seat

252
00:18:25,500 –> 00:18:28,000
in the place that is called the
pavement but in the Hebrew

253
00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:32,500
gabbatha and it was the
preparation of the Passover and

254
00:18:32,500 –> 00:18:36,000
about the sixth hour, he said
unto the Jews, behold your king

255
00:18:36,600 –> 00:18:39,500
but they cried out away with
him.

256
00:18:40,100 –> 00:18:44,300
Oh, way with him.
Crucified him.

257
00:18:47,000 –> 00:18:51,400
Pilate saith unto them.
Shall I crucify your king?

258
00:18:53,300 –> 00:19:01,600
The chief priests answered. we
have no King, but Caesar then

259
00:19:01,600 –> 00:19:05,000
delivered, he that him therefore
unto them to be crucified and

260
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:08,500
they took Jesus and led him away
and he bearing his cross went

261
00:19:08,500 –> 00:19:12,100
forth into a place called the
place of a skull, but in the

262
00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:18,900
Hebrew Golgotha.
It is a popular view that the

263
00:19:18,908 –> 00:19:22,400
significance of this place
derives from David’s victory

264
00:19:22,500 –> 00:19:25,000
over Goliath.
Who after slaying the giant of

265
00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:28,700
gath takes his severed head
typifying, of course, Christ’s

266
00:19:28,700 –> 00:19:31,600
victory over sin.
Now while this view May

267
00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:34,700
absolutely be true in the
context and geography seem to

268
00:19:34,700 –> 00:19:39,900
fit, John’s record, wants us to
peel another layer, back to dig

269
00:19:39,900 –> 00:19:43,100
a little bit deeper almost as if
to say you’ve read the other

270
00:19:43,100 –> 00:19:48,500
three Gospels.
Let’s pull back, one more layer,

271
00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:51,600
both, Matthew and Mark.
Simply call it gotha the place

272
00:19:51,600 –> 00:19:54,300
of the skull.
Luke does not mention the word.

273
00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:58,200
It’s only John who tells us that
Golgotha is actually Hebrew

274
00:19:58,200 –> 00:20:02,400
terminology.
The word Golgotha shares.

275
00:20:02,500 –> 00:20:05,300
A root word with a very
interesting location.

276
00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:08,400
An interesting location.
We looked at this morning,

277
00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:15,400
gilgal gilgal the place where
all families of Israel made a

278
00:20:15,408 –> 00:20:17,600
covenant of service to their
God.

279
00:20:17,600 –> 00:20:21,700
Now, why would Yahweh wants this
gospel written about the Jewish

280
00:20:21,700 –> 00:20:25,200
Sanhedrin to bring emphasis
again to another Hebrew word.

281
00:20:26,700 –> 00:20:29,500
Especially if in the Hebrew, it
almost means the same thing.

282
00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:34,300
Because it almost means the same
thing.

283
00:20:36,000 –> 00:20:38,700
It shouldn’t surprise us that
the Hebrew word Golgotha occurs

284
00:20:38,700 –> 00:20:42,200
12 times in the Old Testament
number that represents the

285
00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:44,100
congregation of the children of
Israel.

286
00:20:44,200 –> 00:20:49,900
All it occurs twice as skull
referring to abimelech and

287
00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:54,300
Jezebel it occurs.
One time as head referring to

288
00:20:54,300 –> 00:21:00,500
Dagon, it occurs seven times as
poles to take a poll and it

289
00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:05,100
occurs twice as for every man
which the margin corrects agreed

290
00:21:05,500 –> 00:21:10,700
to take a poll.
This is the point of the word

291
00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:13,900
Golgotha.
It means everyone.

292
00:21:16,200 –> 00:21:20,700
Which is why it’s used to take a
poll to count heads.

293
00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:26,800
To count everyone.
We’re not going to look at every

294
00:21:26,800 –> 00:21:28,900
occurrence, but I’d like to take
a look at a couple.

295
00:21:30,300 –> 00:21:32,700
Let’s take a look at both times
when it is occur when it’s

296
00:21:32,700 –> 00:21:36,600
translated.
As for every man, Exodus chapter

297
00:21:36,600 –> 00:21:39,800
38 is our is the first
occurrence will go to this

298
00:21:39,800 –> 00:21:42,500
evening.
Come with me to Exodus 38 and a

299
00:21:42,500 –> 00:21:48,400
verse 26.
Exodus, 38 verse 26.

300
00:21:53,200 –> 00:21:56,400
And you’ll notice that your
margin does change it A Beka.

301
00:21:57,500 –> 00:22:03,900
For a pole.
But you could read it A Beka for

302
00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:07,100
Golgotha.
That is half a shekel after the

303
00:22:07,108 –> 00:22:09,400
shekel of the sanctuary for
everyone that went to be

304
00:22:09,400 –> 00:22:12,200
numbered from twenty years old
and upward for six hundred

305
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:15,800
thousand and three thousand five
hundred and fifty men.

306
00:22:16,300 –> 00:22:18,800
Now this was in relation to the
collection from all the males,

307
00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:23,700
20 years and upward of the half
of the shekel of the sanctuary.

308
00:22:25,200 –> 00:22:29,400
It was basically a tax paid in
silver, a collection from every

309
00:22:29,400 –> 00:22:35,400
man and it was used in all those
seemingly uninteresting parts of

310
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:38,600
the Tabernacle mainly those
sockets.

311
00:22:39,900 –> 00:22:44,000
And hooks.
In Exodus 20:7, this is what the

312
00:22:44,000 –> 00:22:45,700
silver would eventually be used
for.

313
00:22:47,800 –> 00:22:54,400
The sockets and the hooks, the
sockets, and the hooks, the

314
00:22:54,400 –> 00:22:59,000
sockets, and the hooks.
They were all attached.

315
00:23:00,100 –> 00:23:02,900
Linked together.
Everyone.

316
00:23:03,400 –> 00:23:07,300
So every man’s contribution
according to Exodus, 38 was

317
00:23:07,300 –> 00:23:10,400
linking him together to the next
as one unit.

318
00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:14,500
Every man attached to another
Let’s take a look at another

319
00:23:14,500 –> 00:23:16,900
time.
Exodus 16 and verse 16.

320
00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:21,900
Exodus 16 verse 16.
This is the thing which Yahweh

321
00:23:21,900 –> 00:23:29,000
hath commanded gather it of
every gatherings Of Golgotha.

322
00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:35,700
Of every man of every school of
every head, according to his

323
00:23:35,700 –> 00:23:38,200
eating and Omer for every man.
According to the number of your

324
00:23:38,200 –> 00:23:42,100
persons, take you every man from
them which are in his tents.

325
00:23:42,700 –> 00:23:46,100
This was in relation to
collecting man, act done by

326
00:23:46,100 –> 00:23:49,900
everyone.
Christ teaches in none.

327
00:23:49,900 –> 00:23:53,600
Other than of course, John’s
gospel chapter 6, that Christ

328
00:23:53,600 –> 00:23:59,300
was the true bread from heaven.
Relating himself to that NaNa,

329
00:23:59,300 –> 00:24:05,400
which giveth life to everyone.
This was Christ, the true bread,

330
00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:08,000
but you’ll never guess in John’s
gospel.

331
00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:11,800
Who immediately has an issue
with this statement, you’re the

332
00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:17,600
true bread from heaven.
John 6:41 the Jews.

333
00:24:17,600 –> 00:24:22,100
Then murmured at him saying
because he said, I am the bread,

334
00:24:22,100 –> 00:24:25,600
which came down from heaven.
They would have not have that

335
00:24:25,600 –> 00:24:30,200
language.
And we learned by experience by

336
00:24:30,200 –> 00:24:33,500
the sisters young people, every
Sunday, the breaking of bread by

337
00:24:33,500 –> 00:24:37,700
our participation that we are
all members.

338
00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:41,600
Every one of that bread.
Do you think it’s an accident

339
00:24:41,600 –> 00:24:44,400
that Paul right before talking
about the emblems, he says in

340
00:24:44,400 –> 00:24:47,500
First Corinthians 10, the bread,
which we break, is it?

341
00:24:47,508 –> 00:24:49,400
Not the communion of the body of
Christ?

342
00:24:50,700 –> 00:24:57,600
for we being many are one bread
and one body for we are all

343
00:24:58,800 –> 00:25:03,800
Partakers of that one bread,
this was how God wants us to see

344
00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:06,400
the drama of the cross in John’s
gospel.

345
00:25:07,900 –> 00:25:12,400
Matthew Mark and Luke combined
to show us that two thieves were

346
00:25:12,400 –> 00:25:14,700
crucified with Christ.
One on the left, one on the

347
00:25:14,708 –> 00:25:19,700
right John reads as we read this
evening where they crucified

348
00:25:19,700 –> 00:25:24,700
him.
And two other with him. on

349
00:25:24,700 –> 00:25:29,300
either side, one and Jesus in
the midst.

350
00:25:31,500 –> 00:25:36,700
Christ was in the midst.
But not just of two thieves.

351
00:25:38,100 –> 00:25:41,400
He was in the midst.
Of Golgotha.

352
00:25:42,700 –> 00:25:46,800
Of every man.
Just like the Manna for every

353
00:25:46,800 –> 00:25:50,600
man just like the half shekel
was collected for every man.

354
00:25:51,000 –> 00:25:55,600
So Christ’s triumphant Golgotha
was for every man.

355
00:25:58,200 –> 00:26:00,800
Should be not a surprise to us
that John provides the most

356
00:26:00,800 –> 00:26:04,800
detailed account of the plaque
above Christ’s head that read

357
00:26:04,900 –> 00:26:07,300
Jesus of Nazareth, the king of
the Jews.

358
00:26:08,500 –> 00:26:11,900
The king of.
The Jews.

359
00:26:13,400 –> 00:26:16,300
This sign was in all three
languages.

360
00:26:17,400 –> 00:26:23,000
So all could read it.
It’s brothers and sisters, all

361
00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:27,000
wood.
They all passed by on the way to

362
00:26:27,000 –> 00:26:30,500
the city as John says, for the
Feast of the Passover.

363
00:26:32,300 –> 00:26:35,800
Verse 20 says this title.
Then read many of the Jews.

364
00:26:38,700 –> 00:26:43,600
Divine Providence, made sure
that all who passed by could

365
00:26:43,700 –> 00:26:47,800
read it.
And John’s gospel shows us

366
00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:51,700
clearly just that the Sanhedrin,
they traveled to the Cross to

367
00:26:51,700 –> 00:26:56,000
admire, their three-year quest
to kill their Messiah.

368
00:26:57,100 –> 00:27:00,200
And they notice above Christ’s
head.

369
00:27:02,400 –> 00:27:07,000
A type of sorts.
And the running back to Pilots

370
00:27:07,000 –> 00:27:11,000
with their correction and Pilots
words ring loud and true 2000

371
00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:13,400
years later.
What I have written I have

372
00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:16,900
written now in most
translations, which the King

373
00:27:16,900 –> 00:27:19,900
James for some reason does not
include, is a small word in

374
00:27:19,900 –> 00:27:22,700
verse 19 that it’s worth jotting
in your margin.

375
00:27:24,500 –> 00:27:28,000
The word.
Also, the verse reads in the ESV

376
00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:33,200
and many others and pilot also
wrote an inscription.

377
00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:38,300
And put it on the cross and
pilot also wrote an inscription.

378
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:43,900
This may very well be implying
that the Sanhedrin Jews had

379
00:27:43,900 –> 00:27:48,700
prepared their sign, but the
pilot almost as if he was

380
00:27:48,700 –> 00:27:51,500
expressing his sheer annoyance
with this group.

381
00:27:52,600 –> 00:27:57,600
For the Ridiculousness of this
case. he also prepared a sign

382
00:27:58,400 –> 00:28:02,600
and instead of a rebel leader
hanging in their midst, named

383
00:28:02,600 –> 00:28:07,700
Barabbas, these 70, whose sole
purpose should have been to lead

384
00:28:07,700 –> 00:28:11,500
the nation to their King stood
as leaders of the greatest

385
00:28:11,500 –> 00:28:18,400
Rebellion, the Earth has seen
But Christ died on Golgotha.

386
00:28:20,400 –> 00:28:25,000
Christ died.
Golgotha For every man.

387
00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:36,000
John sees Christ. as the center,
the representative of us all and

388
00:28:36,000 –> 00:28:41,600
even though all do not accept
him, As was in the case of one

389
00:28:41,600 –> 00:28:44,900
of the thieves, his sacrifice
was made for the sins of the

390
00:28:44,908 –> 00:28:48,100
world.
If they would, but identify with

391
00:28:48,100 –> 00:28:50,700
him carry their cross and follow
him.

392
00:28:51,900 –> 00:28:55,300
He was lifted up here in
Golgotha.

393
00:28:57,400 –> 00:29:00,400
Brothers and sisters young
people friends.

394
00:29:01,700 –> 00:29:03,800
How blessed we are that this
table.

395
00:29:06,500 –> 00:29:12,700
Is for everyone.
All of us have been invited to

396
00:29:12,700 –> 00:29:17,100
it if we but to follow after him
and his commands.

397
00:29:18,000 –> 00:29:22,000
We see manifested in its
emblems, the glory of Yahweh and

398
00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:28,100
our response is he is good.
For his Mercy, endures forever

399
00:29:28,500 –> 00:29:32,000
and we take this bread.
Now, we would take this wine and

400
00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:34,400
we see our own participation in
it.

401
00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:41,400
Christ at our Center because he
is the center of everyone.

402
00:29:43,700 –> 00:29:45,300
Even though all do not accept
him.

403
00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:53,400
All kin. so, as we conclude our
week together, We look to the

404
00:29:53,400 –> 00:29:57,000
beginner.
The finisher of our faith.

405
00:29:58,800 –> 00:30:02,100
A man who by willingly climbing
on the cross.

406
00:30:05,100 –> 00:30:08,400
Took on himself, the power of
every Giant.

407
00:30:09,500 –> 00:30:13,300
For all men.
Let us now focus.

408
00:30:13,300 –> 00:30:17,400
Our thoughts on that death and
that Resurrection, the man who

409
00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:21,400
died for all the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the

410
00:30:21,400 –> 00:30:25,800
world.
Perhaps, it’s author, had the

411
00:30:25,800 –> 00:30:31,300
meaning of Golgotha.
The Forefront of his mind when

412
00:30:31,300 –> 00:30:37,300
the letter was written to none
other than the Hebrews. quoting

413
00:30:37,300 –> 00:30:42,600
from none, other than Psalm 8
the words and thoughts of David

414
00:30:42,600 –> 00:30:50,700
after slaying Goliath Hebrews 2
verse 9. but we see Jesus.

415
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:54,900
Who was made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of

416
00:30:54,900 –> 00:30:58,300
death.
Crowned with Glory and Honor

417
00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:03,700
that he by the grace of God.
Should taste death.
